Speaker 2 (01:19):
Poll question for hour two is gonna be what Seaton
we got up there?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Where would you rather have seats court side of the
NBA Finals? In the glass of the Stanley Cup Final?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Fifty one percent of the NBA Okay, that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, I'd rather go on the glass at a hockey game.
What are we going to go with an hour two here?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I don't think. For some reason, sitting on the glass
feels more interesting than sitting court side, And I'm not
really sure why. Maybe it's just the whole experience. Maybe
it's just the physicality that's right in front of you.
Maybe it's the ability to bang on the glass yourself
and yell at people like you're more in like you know, like,
(02:01):
I don't know. Maybe that's because you can't do that
at the sitting court side. You're like, I hope I
don't get tripped. Yeah, I don't want to trip anybody.
You gotta be careful. Drik's gonna get knocked over.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Like you're gonna say what you're allowed to say when
you're on the glass for a hockey game. Hey, all
bets are off. Say whatever you want. I always like
when there's a fight in the corner and then you'll
have the fans. They're trying to get into the fight
and they're on the glass on the other side.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That's I'm gonna start doing that to Todd more.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But we have hockey coming up on Saturday. Say good
morning to our radio affiliates.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio over four hundred cities. Todd has
a tough enough time doing his job there seating. Let's
not go above and beat you don't think so though
you don't, No, it's best we don't there, all right.
Never mind, Larry Allen, Hall of fame lineman with the
Cowboys dies at the age of fifty two. Players have
(02:55):
been on this show before and they talk about Larry
Allen flew where you would get sick before you played
the Cowboys, and maybe you didn't play against Larry Allen.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
He was that great.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
But the other thing with him was he became famous
by just being a great player. And you know, for
an offensive lineman, for a guard to be famous. You know,
Jason Kelsey became famous because of the tush push with
the Eagles, Anthony Munos was wonderful to me. Best offensive
(03:27):
lineman I ever saw Bengals offensive lineman tackle. But how
many offensive linemen got famous. Conrad Dobler did he, But
he got famous because he was dirty, and then he
kind of embraced that. But when you're with the Cowboys,
the Cowboys are winning, you're blocking for Emmett and you're
blocking for Troy and you're winning Super Bowls, you're going
(03:48):
to get notoriety. You're going to play in big games.
And Larry Allen was just dominating at his position as
anybody was at their position back when he played. But
passing away at the age of fifty two. But when
you think about getting fame as an offensive lineman defensive lineman,
because they're sacking people, they're hitting people, Larry Allen's job
(04:09):
was to open up holes, make sure you didn't hit somebody,
tackle somebody, and to be able to play at a very,
very high level. He's on the short list of greatest
offensive lineman in history. Now you got attention when you
were a polling guard for the Green Bay Packers. Jerry
Kramer became famous when he was with Vince Lombardi because
(04:30):
Lombardi loved to have his guard's poll and their running
game with Paul Horning and Jim Taylor. Go down through history,
how many great offensive linemen and I'm talking about became famous.
There were guys who were really, really good at their
job but became famous there. Joe Jacobe became famous because
his job was to block Lawrence Taylor when he played
(04:53):
for the then Washington Redskins. He was blocking for John
Riggins and his quarterback was Joe thisman they were playing
in big games. Reggie McKenzie was a guard blocker for
OJ Simpson with the Buffalo Bills and when he rushed
for two thousand yards, so they got attention there. But
(05:14):
and I'm sure there's other offensive lineman. You know, Jim
Otto was a center for the Raiders Double zero Hall
of Famer just passed away recently. But as far as
total domination, where you watched and you realized we have
no answer for that guy, He's on the short list, yes, Marv.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
What about Jonathan Ogden from the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
But Jason Kelsey's probably the only person that I like
to use the term wife famous, where my wife knows
who Jason Kelsey is. He might be on Yeah, pop
culture wise, he might be the only person on that level.
But football famous is a but Larry Allen and Jonathan
Ogden come to mind for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Since nineteen eighty, NFL players to be named First Team
All Pro for six consecutives seasons Aaron Donald, Larry Allen,
Dermani Dawson, Reggie White, Anthony Munos, Mike Singletary, and Lawrence Taylor.
Stat of the day, sad of the day, That past
stat of the day, stat of the.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Day here comes that? What stat of the day?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Aaron Donald had a streak of seven consecutive years. But
Larry Allen didn't go to an SEC school. He didn't
go to a Big ten school. He didn't go to
a Pac twelve school. He didn't go to a Big
twelve school. He went to a school that I didn't
even know was his school. Sonoma State? Does that sound right?
Speaker 7 (06:44):
State?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Sonoma State?
Speaker 8 (06:46):
Only two football players ever from there have played the NFL,
and one of them might be the greatest offensive lineman ever.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Sonoma State gotta be California, right, sounds like a winery. Hey,
let's go to Sonoma State. They have a great peno grigio.
But Larry Allen passing away the age of fifty two,
we had the big Swagoo. He joined us and he
played with Larry Allen with Dallas and he was there
(07:11):
when he was a rookie and he came to practice
one day Larry Allen told him to go out and
buy him some expensive liquor, and Swagoo said that he
didn't have any money, but he was not going to
go out and not come back with that liquor for
Larry Allen. So he found a way to go get
whatever bottle that Larry Allen wanted because he was scared
to death. And he said teammates were afraid of Larry
(07:34):
Own like intimidation factor. He's on your team and they
were still afraid of Larry Own passing away at the
age of fifty two.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, poem.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
Her buddy Ross Tucker, who fills in for you, sometimes
told a story that he filled in for six straight
games for Larry Allen when he was injured and he
goes I would walk out for starting lineups and they
would see that Larry's out and I'm in, and the
other defensive line were like, oh thank god.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah, they up and hug Ross Chucker. Great to see you, man,
It's so great to see you.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Larry's not in your uniform. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
A couple of phone calls in here, Uh, Duke and Boise, Hi, Duke,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (08:13):
Hey Dan? I just wanted to thank you for giving
Larry a shout out. I also attended Cinema State while
he was there. Yes, it does sound like a winery.
But as dominant as Larry was with the Cowboys and
then later with the Niners, watching him push around kids
from Humboldt State or UC Davis, it was almost scary
(08:37):
somebody was going to get hurt. He and you know,
a total general giant sweetheart right up until he put
the pads on. So anyway, to his family, everybody pourn
one out today.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Thanks Dan, all right, thank you, Duke, Christian san Diego,
Good morning, Chris. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (08:57):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 9 (08:58):
Love?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Thank you?
Speaker 11 (09:01):
I mean yeah, sorry, Hey, I don't know if I
missed it, but is anybody brought up the effect that
Kaitlyn Clark may have like Stephen Curry, We're going to
see the women's game shooting.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
You know, half the game, Chris, Chris, you're about three
years behind here, three years behind.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Go to a girls game and you're going to see them.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
They love the jack up threes now, I mean boys,
they've been doing it because of Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yes, this is happening.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
The Caitlin Clark effect on girls basketball, women's basketball.
Speaker 10 (09:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
See.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Part of why that effect is so powerful is because
it's something that you can look at your child and say,
go practice real hard, and you can do that. Yeah,
it's a fact that you look at somebody Vince Carter.
No matter how much time I spent out at the playground,
I was never doing what Vince Carter can do. But
Steph Curry or Kaitlyn Clark or whoever, Hey, go practice,
(10:04):
put up enough shots and you're going to get close
to that. That's the idea.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So why you can make the argument that Steph Curry
is as impactful as any player who's ever played the
game because he changed the style of play. Not you
couldn't be Mike, couldn't be Kobe, couldn't be Shack, but
you feel like you could be Steph. And I'm sure
that there are girls, women who feel like they could
(10:30):
be Caitlyn Clark. They can't be, but you can be
some kind of reasonable fact. Similar and the same thing
with Steph all the imitators, because you feel like if he.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Can do it, I should be able to do it.
Speaker 12 (10:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Brian in Seattle, Hi, Brian Wood's on your mind.
Speaker 10 (10:50):
Hey, but I had a comment about girl basketball. Girl basketball.
I used to stat and hio. I used to play
in our mural and there were always girls involved and
they would grab your jersey, try to trip you.
Speaker 13 (11:11):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (11:12):
Taught crap because they didn't know they could do any
you know, because you can't do anything. And I had
a follow up question, do you think a really good
high school boys basketball team could beat a WNBA team?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I don't want to do this. I don't want to
do this.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
We do this occasionally, and I don't want to do
this because it's not fair. Okay, it's just I don't
want to do that. Appreciate or don't watch, okay, because
then if a high school team does beat them all, well,
they're not any good. And by the way, the one
thing you should notice if you've watched the WNBA, it's
(11:52):
far more physical than you think. I mean, they go
after it, they're diving on the floor. It is far
more uh engaging, physical than you would believe. And I
think that's another thing people are caught up in. It's like, wow, man,
they're knocking her down, or she that's a foul or
that's a fla grinner. They play a whole lot rougher
(12:14):
than you think.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
He I'm Marvin, Yeah, and sometimes I do w NBA
games and I'm underneath the basket and who they are talking?
Oh yeah, and it's not hey, good play whatever Caitlin
Clark had said to Kennedy, Oh that's part for the course.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot more language there.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I remember Marvin came back and he did a Connecticut
Sun game and he goes, Man, these women they're not
afraid to say what's on their mind.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Yeah, they played the acest. Becky Hammond was cursing up a.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Storm, uh Batman in des Monet, I Batman, Hey.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Dan and the boys. Hey who likes food is calling
from San Francisco. Now I gotta I gotta say, I
gotta I gotta take on Kaylen Clark. I think Greece
is completely wrong. Last year wasn't about a reach rematch
with LSU. Last year was all about the scoring records. Pistol,
(13:14):
p all the ladies that she passed. It was every
game was must watch. It wasn't just to get back
at LSU. And I look at the attendance. Look at
the attendance that Angel Reese's team has.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Well, it's all encompassing, Batman, thanks for the phone call.
It is the scoring record, it is Iowa versus LSU.
What did I say as soon as the national title
game was over? I said they should schedule that game
to open up the season. To ensure you have that
game to open up college basketball season for the women,
(13:50):
you get a musty TV game now you know the
season started. So there's so many layers involved in this.
How she plays, what she looks like, where she plays,
and now you're coming into the WNBA, they're not going
to welcome you with open arms. Do I think that
there everybody's jealous of her. I don't, But I think
(14:12):
it's the competitor that we're missing with these players now.
Are there's jealousy? Angel Reese is clearly jealous of Caitlyn
Clark because of her comments when they won the title.
She went out of her way to go and get
in Caitlyn Clark's face, not even celebrate with your team.
That told me, yes, she's very envious of Caitlin Clark's
(14:33):
exposure here. But I mean, there's a lot involved in this.
It's very nuanced. And what I find troubling is when
you get people involved who aren't normally involved and now
they want to tell you all about women's basketball. They
want to, Hey, pull up a chair, I'm going to
pontificate here. That's where I get That's where I get concerned,
(14:56):
where all of a sudden, the Chicago Tribune op ed
says that was an assault. If that was done on
the street, it's an assault. See, that's where you lose people.
Ask people who have been covering the sport that they
are looking for attention. They didn't want this attention, but
(15:16):
they want eyeballs. Now you have eyeballs. Hopefully people will
sample the game and continue to do so because maybe
you stumble upon another player that you really like, or
maybe you wait for Page Beckers, or maybe you wait
for Juju Watkins. Maybe, but they have to take advantage
of this and have a ground swell where people are
(15:37):
going to watch this. And right now you've got a
lot of people talking, but they're not talking about the
play because Caitlin Clark has struggled too many turnovers. She
gets bumped around a lot. She needs to have time
to understand how to get prepared, and she didn't have
any time. You go from the end of your season
(16:00):
and you got a couple of weeks off the draft,
and now you're playing, and now you're playing against really,
really good teams and you're getting physical out physicaled by
these these players. But her turnovers terrible, and I think
she's I think she's exhausted. But I think you got
to understand how long it takes to get ready. Not
(16:22):
many people just step in in their stars, whether it's
a quarterback, you know, Steph Curry was a slow burn
like it.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
It takes time.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
And then we're going to find out probably in two years,
we may look back upon this and go con Lee.
I don't know why she struggled so much, or boy
did she learn how to whatever it is you understand
the game, and the game is completely different than what
she had at Iowa, where you might have one person
and they set a pick and you get to, you know,
(16:51):
shoot your jumpers. And she was unbelievable. Now it's you
set a pick, I'm coming after you. I'm going to
bump you a little bit, knock you off your spot,
she said, having a hard time with this now she's
still I thought she would average at best twenty and
I thought she would be a lot better passer. But
she's had so many turnovers and she's only averaging a
(17:11):
little over what a five assists per game. I thought
she would be more of a facilitator. She doesn't have
a good team, by the way. I mean, that's why
they got her. You got to factor that in as well.
If I put her on the Aces, chances are she's
probably having a better season.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
Yes, Mark, that's the greatest team that's ever been assembled.
If Caitlin Cluck's won the.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Aces, Yeah, pretty good, all right. The actor Ed O'Neill's
going to join us. He plays Donald Sterling in this
series called Clipped about the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
He lost his team. There were some.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Audio tapes that were released and the NBA stepped in
and stripped him of his team. But Ed O'Neil from
Modern Family and Married with Children will join us coming
up next back after this Dan Patrick show.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Before we get to Ed O'Neil, the actor who plays
Donald Sterling in the FX series called Clipped, and the
first two episodes premiere today exclusively on Hulu. So you
think about the Clippers, Nobody wanted to play for the Clippers.
Nobody cared about the Clippers. Their owner, Donald Sterling never
(19:08):
build a winner. It felt like if you went to
the Clippers, you were going into obscurity. He certainly had
a bad rap and earned a bad rap for the
person that he was, but he was still able to
coach or own the Clippers for a long time until
a couple of audio tapes were leaked to the media
(19:28):
where he said some very disparaging things, and that was
twenty fourteen. Well, Adam Silver swooped in. That's first thing
I think he did when he was on the job,
and he said, you are going to lose your team.
And that's when Steve Balmer came in and bought the Clippers.
And Ed O'Neill plays Donald Sterling, the disgraced former Clippers owner.
(19:51):
It's the series called Clipped in the first two episodes
premiere today exclusively on Peacock, So Ed O'Neil, who gave
us modern family, also gave us married with children, joins
us on the program. What's it like playing a bad
guy for.
Speaker 15 (20:05):
A change, It's I think all actors like playing bad guys. It's,
you know, you get to do things you don't normally
get to do, or say things you don't normally get
to say, and a certain freedom and with no punishment
at the end of the day, get a paycheck.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
But when you're known as you know, when somebody sees
you as Al Bundy and then they're going to see
as Donald Sterling. Yeah, you know when I talked to
Brian Cranston about you know, when he's on Malcolm in
the Middle and then you don't break in bad like
people had this like whoa this visceral reaction?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Will people have that? Do you think? Or you hope
they have?
Speaker 15 (20:45):
I think they certainly had it after married with children,
you know, because that ran eleven years, and I kind
of got I kind of got out of it a
little bit. You know, Modern Family ran eleven years, so
then they would I find it depended on where I
was and who I would. You know, in Vegas it
would be married, and then Beverly Hills would be Modern Family.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Or you know.
Speaker 15 (21:09):
Uh, And so I kind of got out of that
a little bit. And it never bothered me, to be
honest with you, I never I get well, you know,
I came from New York. I did a lot of theater,
and so I I just always felt like, well, I'm
a hired gun. I do a part. It can be drama,
it can be comedy. I don't care. And so that
(21:33):
was part of the reason I decided to do this,
because I thought I haven't used one hundred percent for
a long time. You know, the light comedies, the family
things can be great, and Modern Family certainly was a
great show. But I thought I only used seventy percent
of what I got, you know, you know, and so
(21:53):
I wanted to I wanted to challenge myself a bit,
and I thought, this is certainly a challenge.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
What part of the script did you go? Oh, for
a wow?
Speaker 15 (22:03):
I I liked the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
The sixth I think that dangerous or something that kind
of made you nervous that you were going to have
to say something.
Speaker 15 (22:12):
Uh no, No, maybe it should have, but I don't
think so. I think it because I know, you know,
it's a story that I think was entertaining, and it was.
It had a good pace, and it had well I knew.
I knew some of the actors coming in. I knew
Lawrence Fishburn from New York. I knew of Jackie Jackie
(22:38):
Weaver's work. I'd seen several of her movies, kind of
the Meryl Streep of Australia. I had worked with Corbyn
Bernson in a movie years ago called uh, Disorganized Crime.
So I knew some of the players and I thought, well,
it's good company, it's good writing, it's good paycheck. It's
(23:01):
six and I'm out. It's not going to be you know,
eleven years.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Let's go. What's tough for comedy or drama?
Speaker 15 (23:11):
I don't think either one. I mean, I don't know.
I mean, I know it's it's if you're funny. Comedy's
not that hard. If you're not funny, it's it's a
bad job.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
When do you know you're funny when they laugh? But
are you trying to crack up the crew or your
fellow actors?
Speaker 15 (23:31):
I you know, it depends. I mean, you know, when
you're trying to be funny, it doesn't matter. I don't
think you could do it on the street corner and
the drama. You know, all the best actors that I've
ever watched and enjoyed are kind of funny. You know.
Laurence Olivier, Brando was kind of funny. Could be the Niro.
(23:52):
You know, all those guys can be kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Did you work with Pacino?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
One of your first acting gigs was that cruising Yeah?
Did you see in Paccino what we eventually saw in Pacino?
Speaker 15 (24:06):
Well, he was already famous, he had already done The Godfather.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Oh okay, okay, as you know.
Speaker 15 (24:12):
That part, and he was well on his way, so yeah,
you knew he was a special actor.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
What was Brando like?
Speaker 15 (24:20):
I never met Brando? Oh okay, I just I just
referenced him. I never met him.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
He didn't do married. He did do a cameo and
married with children? Oh no he did.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, we're talking talking to Ed O'Neill, the actor married
with children, Modern Family and he plays Donald Sterling in clipped.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I was also the older we get, the.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Better we were when we were an athlete. So you know,
nobody's around to remember that. I wasn't as good as
I tell people that I was. So you played college
football and then get drafted by the Steelers.
Speaker 15 (24:56):
Well I wasn't drafted, Okay, So I was. I was
a paid I was a aid free agents. I stay paid,
not much. But it was chuckles first year and I
was coming from Youngstown. I played for how you kind
of got That didn't work out for me too well,
(25:16):
and then I just I didn't care for the coaches.
And then I went to Youngstown State. That didn't work
out for me too well either. Again it was a coach.
Of course, I started asking myself, I wonder if this
is my fault, you know, and it may well have been.
And then I got picked up by that. There was
(25:38):
a scout that you know, they have these NFL scouts
at the at least they used to who cover like
five teams, and this guy was the Steelers was one
of the teams. I think Detroit and I forget the rest,
but he he contacted me when I was still at
OU and I told him I was going to go
to Youngstown State, and he kept an eye on me apparently,
(26:01):
so that when I after my senior year, he said,
we're gonna, you know, we're gonna call you a night
of the draft. We're not going to draft you, but
we want you to come try out. So I did.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
That was how it worked. How was it meeting me
and Joe Green? I never met Joe.
Speaker 15 (26:20):
Because I came in with the with the rookies naturally,
and some vets were there, but they were there for reasons,
you know, like working on a knee or you know
what I mean. So there were some vets there, but
Joe hadn't come in yet. I think it may have
been a contract thing yet or something. I don't remember.
(26:41):
But let's see the quarterback was Terry Hanritty Notre Dame,
and then Dick Shiner. They got Shiner from the Giants.
And I was trying to make outside linebacker, which I
we didn't have an outside linebacker in college. We played
a five to four and I played middle guard. I
(27:02):
played tight end, defensive end, no outside linebacker, so I
wasn't used to playing standing up. I was on a
you know, a four point kind of thing, so and
I didn't know the I didn't know the keys, flat coverage,
you know all that stuff. But I've over the tight end.
I knew how to whack somebody, and but I didn't
(27:26):
know the position. So I'm trying to make the team
and learn the position. And hey, that's tough.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
What was it like me?
Speaker 15 (27:34):
Luckie Blyer was in Vietnam. That's what I'm giving you
the time frame.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
And then Bradshaw got drafted the following year. The next year, Yeah,
did Chuck Nole know your name?
Speaker 15 (27:45):
I think he did.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I could be wrong, You'd like to think that he knew.
Speaker 15 (27:50):
He was very nice to me. Today I got cut,
and you know, I'll tell you a funny thing that
I actually I think I blocked it out of my mind,
because I think I just remembered this recently, and that
was that when I was talking to him towards the
end of our little discussion, you know, and he was
(28:10):
telling me how much he liked me and so forth.
He said, listen, I talked to cool Herrick with the Eagles,
and if you want to try it, they need linebackers.
We'll rent you a car. We were down to Saint
Vincent's College and you can drive up there. They'll give
you a good look. But I got to know right
now because they got to fill that and I thought
(28:30):
maybe ten seconds, and I said, nah, I'm out. I
was surprised myself that I said that, and he seemed surprised.
He said, you don't want to. I said, no, I'm done.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Thanks. Didn't you have Bradshaw on? Was he onuh? Married? Yeah?
Speaker 15 (28:52):
He was unmarried?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
And in modern Modern Family?
Speaker 15 (28:56):
Yeah, Terry and I are pretty good friends.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Do you remember the first to read through with Modern Family?
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Like?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Well?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Which one made you a little bit more nervous of
how long is this going to last?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Married or Modern?
Speaker 12 (29:10):
Well?
Speaker 15 (29:10):
I didn't think married would last over you know, two
or three shows, and I think it was I think
it was only bought for like six and then uh,
because I thought we'd be canceled any at any minute,
at any time. And that went on for three or
four or five years, because you know, we weren't. We
(29:31):
weren't the darling of the critics, you know, with the
material we were. We were slinging around, you know, but
it was funny. I thought it was funny. Not all
of it, but a lot of it. So I but
so we were like I used to. I think I
used it like the little show that could. We just
kept chugging along, you know, until finally we got up
(29:53):
around eleven and then they gave us the boot?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Do people actually think Modern?
Speaker 15 (29:57):
I knew I thought Modern would be a hit the
first I read the script.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Oh well, I said, this show is a hit. Do
people actually think you're married to Sophia?
Speaker 15 (30:09):
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
No, No, who wouldn't believe it?
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yeah, but you're a good actor, Thank you, Thank you dad.
We were supposed to believe that on the show.
Speaker 15 (30:19):
You know what, I credit her with a lot of that,
because she really did make me seem you know, like
she did find me sexy or lovable in some way,
you know, even though the structure of it was I
was a wealthy guy and she needed a father and
someone who could provide for her and her little boy.
(30:43):
So in that regard it worked, and you know she's great.
By the way, Sophia and I are dear friends.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
That sounds like a typical Hollywood story where there's an
older rich guy and then there's a younger woman. That's Hollywood,
isn't it.
Speaker 15 (30:56):
Has that ever happened?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Good luck being the bad guy there.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Great to talk to you, and thanks for jo Okay, Hey, Karen,
nice meeting you. Ed O'Neill actor, he's not married to
Sophia Vegara in real life, but gave me the impression that, okay,
maybe he could pull this off there. I like the Steelers'
stories going to camp there back in the late sixties,
missed out on me and Joe Green, but got to
(31:23):
meet Chuck Noll Terry Bradshaw. So the show that they
have two episodes that are available on Hulu. It's called Clipped,
and it's about Donald Sterling and the Clippers when he
was stripped of his team.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Travis in Green Bay, Hi, Travis, what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Good morning, Dan, Thanks for having me on the show.
I love that interview with that O'Neil. I'm a big fan.
I had a couple of movie suggestions. If you've got
a second okay for Ed O'Neil. Have you ever seen
the film Dutch?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I don't John Hughes film, No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
That's a great comedy, okay.
Speaker 9 (32:06):
And then Lawrence Wisburne. I'm kind of going to old
school here, but searching for Bobby Fisher.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Yeah, he plays the uh chess guy in the in
the Washington Square Park. Thank you for that, Travis. And
so he's teaching him speed chess. Bobby Fisher, well, the
child who is they're searching for the next Bobby Fisher.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
That's a great movie, it really is. It was when
when you.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Go, oh, it's about a chess prodigy, and then you're
going okay, and then you watch it and then it's
more than about chess. It's about a dad and a
son and relationship and coming back and competing. So and
then you have like the real life chess drama that's
going on right now with this player who they have
(32:51):
accused of cheating and he beat the world champ.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
What is it? Magnus Carlson and uh I don't want to.
I don't want to get outside on lane here.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
But there is, you know, this controversy with this uh
kid who came out of this out of nowhere and
then he said all strip naked because they thought maybe
he was getting censors that would were attached to his
body somehow somebody was giving him some kind of information.
But that'll probably be made into a movie as well.
And then you had the Queen's gambit, who dow chess?
(33:22):
Was that interesting? It takes too much time, Like I
don't want to think that much. It still't Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Hans Niemann is the controversial chess guy. You're talking, okay, Yeah,
Caitlin Clark of the chess.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
World, Well, he apparently trashes hotel rooms like he's he
acts like a rock star here. But I think it's
it's Magnus Carlson might be the number one ranked player
in the world.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
He's the established channing. Yes, yes, what you if it's
your first year playing chess?
Speaker 5 (33:51):
What is it? What are you if it's your first
year playing chess? What would you be called? That's all,
It's all hard.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I didn't know you guys. Yeah, this guy's pulled up
a little while.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Okay, see instructured on the highway seat and tried to
convince me that Let's Get Quizzical might actually be so
bad it's good.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
I believe I said great.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Great.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Don't misinterpret my words, Dan, I believe I said great.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
So I'm just walking by seat, not in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
During commercial break, he goes, you know, I think we
may be under selling Todd's Let's Get Quizzical good.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
It might be great. It does we just because we
remember it doesn't make it great.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Not only do Okay, it might be more of strength
on a talk about how strong physical is as a song,
that it just gets stuck in your head. But I
sing Todd's quizical song constantly, right, Man, it's stuck in
my head all the time. It's great, it's it's it
actually turns out it's fabulous.
Speaker 13 (34:55):
What I've heard Marvin going it makes great sports radio conversation.
So I'll hear him kind of google.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Okay, okay, how about I take a break, challenge yourself, mend.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Let me let me take let me take a break.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
So this is when Olivia Newton John died and Todd
came in the next day and he goes, I have
a tribute song to Alivia Newton Joe.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
I felt compelled to honor her.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
And so of course let's take a break. I'll ponder
if we play a portion of that. Coming up, more
of your phone calls as well. Robert Or will join
us in the final hour of the program. We're back
after this.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
NBA Finals Thursday night, Stanley Cup Final starts on Saturday.
We'll talk to Robert Or, seven time NBA champ. He'll
join us. Coming up next hour. We'll get to phone
calls coming up eight seven, seven to three DP show.
I don't know why, but I'm kind of caving in
here to the dant sentiment here that Todd came up
(36:05):
with Let's get quizzical, based off Let's Get Physical, a
song by Olyba Newton John. And when she passed away,
Todd wanted to, for some reason write a tribute to
Olivia Newton John. And Todd, of course, is never on
the beat, as you'll be able to tell here. For
somebody who loves music, loves singing. You have no idea
(36:28):
how to sing. It's unfortunately on time.
Speaker 13 (36:31):
I'm a shower singer, and even then it's a questionable.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yes, Pom.
Speaker 8 (36:35):
To preface this audio, one of the reasons it is
spectacular is because it was meant to be good. It
was not meant to be a joke. He was trying
hard to make a good tribute to Olivia Newton John
Bonus coverage. He did one take. The guy's in the
back producing it said would you like another take to
clean it up a little bit? He said, nope, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
I nailed it all right. There's a little bit of
Todd's tribute to Olivia Newton John.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
We're coming up with questions that I know your luck.
Speaker 12 (37:04):
It mixed their sports radio conversation. You gotta answer it
just right. You know what I mean, don't google. Let's
just try to.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
Think it out.
Speaker 12 (37:17):
Tell yourself meant to leave, make sure you know what
you're talking about, or get embarrassed on radio and TV.
Let's get quizical. Quizical. I wanna do a quizical. Let's
start into quizical. Let me hear your Runsom, Now you're
runs and now let me hear your rntom.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Now alrighty, just hear it? Yeah, pretty great.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
I love don't hang off in frustration.
Speaker 12 (37:48):
We're up against a commercial break.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 12 (37:54):
I'm sure you'll understand if we potfone too.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
This is like an extra verse and I don't know it.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
I don't do nearly know. I don't think we ever
got this far.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
I'm sure you'll understand if we poke fun at you.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
That's yet, that's amazing, all right, I wanted that is nice.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Okay, I'm sure you understand if we poke funny.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Yeah, now that you've died, I'm sure you'll understand.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
It was the number two.
Speaker 13 (38:22):
Song in nineteen eighty one on the Solid Gold Counter
and with Andy Gibbon, Marilyn McCoo, than You Kiss on
My List three, Betty Davis Eyes was one, and Physicals too.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Okay, all right, there you go. Probably didn't expect that today,
but you're welcome.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
You don't love that.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
I cringe, I still cringe. And the fact that Todd
a sounded thought it sounded really good, and b that
that's supposed to be a tribute to Olivia Newton John Yes, Todd.
Speaker 13 (38:53):
Yeah, I had a big crush on her, and I
just thought that her music and grease and everything, and
I felt like something needed to be done. Even though
it sounds like I was trying to just destroy one
of her top hits.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Why couldn't you pay tribute to her in a different way?
Speaker 5 (39:07):
Like to quote Sandra Das, I don't know how.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
You just say, you know what, what a wonderful career
she accomplished this, she was in that movie.
Speaker 13 (39:15):
In that movie, I felt obligated to do something more creative.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
You know what, normal people, You know, when when somebody dies,
that doesn't mean that, uh gayl King on the CBS
Morning Show is going to start singing somebody's songs.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
Yes, but God, Todd did something from the heart. He
was moved and inspired to do something that meant was
personal to him. I think it was great.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
How do you think Olivia Newton John would have felt
if she were still alive and Todd had a tribute
song to her?
Speaker 4 (39:52):
I think she would have been graciously horrified.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
When you stop singing that, yes it's you said, cringe, Georgy.
The moments, cringeworthy moments are great TV. It's like when
Steve Harvey was given the Award to Miss Columbia and
you're watching it happen on TV where she's not getting
it and it's transfixing.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Similar. Yeah, but that wasn't a tribute to Miss Columbia.
Speaker 9 (40:19):
No, it was not.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
He just screwed up.
Speaker 8 (40:20):
Like the Academy Awards where Warren Batty opens a thing
and gives it to the wrong movie La la lan cringeworthy.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Yeah, Todd wasn't trying to be princeworthy.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
You did it, but you weren't trying.
Speaker 13 (40:32):
I couldn't fit in my Xanadue tank top, so I
was like, let me just write a song.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
There by the way.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Caitlin Clark's rookie season stats sixteen points, six assists, five rebounds.
Steph Curry's rookie season seventeen points, six assists, four rebounds.
But he had nowhere near the fanfare coming into the NBA. Remember,
he wasn't even going to be a starter, or maybe
he was just going to be a spot up shooter.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
Yes, they picked Johnny Flynn over him in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
And Ricky Rubio two point guards, Yes, and they missed
on both of them. Final hour on the way, big
shot Bob Robert or will stop by

and Modern Family EH seven seven three DP show operator
Tyler's sitting by taking your phone calls.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Poll question for hour two is gonna be what Seaton
we got up there?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Where would you rather have seats court side of the
NBA Finals? In the glass of the Stanley Cup Final?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Fifty one percent of the NBA Okay, that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, I'd rather go on the glass at a hockey game.
What are we going to go with an hour two here?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I don't think. For some reason, sitting on the glass
feels more interesting than sitting court side, And I'm not
really sure why. Maybe it's just the whole experience. Maybe
it's just the physicality that's right in front of you.
Maybe it's the ability to bang on the glass yourself
and yell at people like you're more in like you know, like,
(02:01):
I don't know. Maybe that's because you can't do that
at the sitting court side. You're like, I hope I
don't get tripped. Yeah, I don't want to trip anybody.
You gotta be careful. Drik's gonna get knocked over.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Like you're gonna say what you're allowed to say when
you're on the glass for a hockey game. Hey, all
bets are off. Say whatever you want. I always like
when there's a fight in the corner and then you'll
have the fans. They're trying to get into the fight
and they're on the glass on the other side.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That's I'm gonna start doing that to Todd more.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But we have hockey coming up on Saturday. Say good
morning to our radio affiliates.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio over four hundred cities. Todd has
a tough enough time doing his job there seating. Let's
not go above and beat you don't think so though
you don't, No, it's best we don't there, all right.
Never mind, Larry Allen, Hall of fame lineman with the
Cowboys dies at the age of fifty two. Players have
(02:55):
been on this show before and they talk about Larry
Allen flew where you would get sick before you played
the Cowboys, and maybe you didn't play against Larry Allen.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
He was that great.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
But the other thing with him was he became famous
by just being a great player. And you know, for
an offensive lineman, for a guard to be famous. You know,
Jason Kelsey became famous because of the tush push with
the Eagles, Anthony Munos was wonderful to me. Best offensive
(03:27):
lineman I ever saw Bengals offensive lineman tackle. But how
many offensive linemen got famous. Conrad Dobler did he, But
he got famous because he was dirty, and then he
kind of embraced that. But when you're with the Cowboys,
the Cowboys are winning, you're blocking for Emmett and you're
blocking for Troy and you're winning Super Bowls, you're going
(03:48):
to get notoriety. You're going to play in big games.
And Larry Allen was just dominating at his position as
anybody was at their position back when he played. But
passing away at the age of fifty two. But when
you think about getting fame as an offensive lineman defensive lineman,
because they're sacking people, they're hitting people, Larry Allen's job
(04:09):
was to open up holes, make sure you didn't hit somebody,
tackle somebody, and to be able to play at a very,
very high level. He's on the short list of greatest
offensive lineman in history. Now you got attention when you
were a polling guard for the Green Bay Packers. Jerry
Kramer became famous when he was with Vince Lombardi because
(04:30):
Lombardi loved to have his guard's poll and their running
game with Paul Horning and Jim Taylor. Go down through history,
how many great offensive linemen and I'm talking about became famous.
There were guys who were really, really good at their
job but became famous there. Joe Jacobe became famous because
his job was to block Lawrence Taylor when he played
(04:53):
for the then Washington Redskins. He was blocking for John
Riggins and his quarterback was Joe thisman they were playing
in big games. Reggie McKenzie was a guard blocker for
OJ Simpson with the Buffalo Bills and when he rushed
for two thousand yards, so they got attention there. But
(05:14):
and I'm sure there's other offensive lineman. You know, Jim
Otto was a center for the Raiders Double zero Hall
of Famer just passed away recently. But as far as
total domination, where you watched and you realized we have
no answer for that guy, He's on the short list, yes, Marv.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
What about Jonathan Ogden from the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
But Jason Kelsey's probably the only person that I like
to use the term wife famous, where my wife knows
who Jason Kelsey is. He might be on Yeah, pop
culture wise, he might be the only person on that level.
But football famous is a but Larry Allen and Jonathan
Ogden come to mind for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Since nineteen eighty, NFL players to be named First Team
All Pro for six consecutives seasons Aaron Donald, Larry Allen,
Dermani Dawson, Reggie White, Anthony Munos, Mike Singletary, and Lawrence Taylor.
Stat of the day, sad of the day, That past
stat of the day, stat of the.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Day here comes that? What stat of the day?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Aaron Donald had a streak of seven consecutive years. But
Larry Allen didn't go to an SEC school. He didn't
go to a Big ten school. He didn't go to
a Pac twelve school. He didn't go to a Big
twelve school. He went to a school that I didn't
even know was his school. Sonoma State? Does that sound right?
Speaker 7 (06:44):
State?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Sonoma State?
Speaker 8 (06:46):
Only two football players ever from there have played the NFL,
and one of them might be the greatest offensive lineman ever.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Sonoma State gotta be California, right, sounds like a winery. Hey,
let's go to Sonoma State. They have a great peno grigio.
But Larry Allen passing away the age of fifty two,
we had the big Swagoo. He joined us and he
played with Larry Allen with Dallas and he was there
(07:11):
when he was a rookie and he came to practice
one day Larry Allen told him to go out and
buy him some expensive liquor, and Swagoo said that he
didn't have any money, but he was not going to
go out and not come back with that liquor for
Larry Allen. So he found a way to go get
whatever bottle that Larry Allen wanted because he was scared
to death. And he said teammates were afraid of Larry
(07:34):
Own like intimidation factor. He's on your team and they
were still afraid of Larry Own passing away at the
age of fifty two.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, poem.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
Her buddy Ross Tucker, who fills in for you, sometimes
told a story that he filled in for six straight
games for Larry Allen when he was injured and he
goes I would walk out for starting lineups and they
would see that Larry's out and I'm in, and the
other defensive line were like, oh thank god.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah, they up and hug Ross Chucker. Great to see you, man,
It's so great to see you.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Larry's not in your uniform. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
A couple of phone calls in here, Uh, Duke and Boise, Hi, Duke,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (08:13):
Hey Dan? I just wanted to thank you for giving
Larry a shout out. I also attended Cinema State while
he was there. Yes, it does sound like a winery.
But as dominant as Larry was with the Cowboys and
then later with the Niners, watching him push around kids
from Humboldt State or UC Davis, it was almost scary
(08:37):
somebody was going to get hurt. He and you know,
a total general giant sweetheart right up until he put
the pads on. So anyway, to his family, everybody pourn
one out today.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Thanks Dan, all right, thank you, Duke, Christian san Diego,
Good morning, Chris. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (08:57):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 9 (08:58):
Love?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Thank you?
Speaker 11 (09:01):
I mean yeah, sorry, Hey, I don't know if I
missed it, but is anybody brought up the effect that
Kaitlyn Clark may have like Stephen Curry, We're going to
see the women's game shooting.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
You know, half the game, Chris, Chris, you're about three
years behind here, three years behind.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Go to a girls game and you're going to see them.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
They love the jack up threes now, I mean boys,
they've been doing it because of Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yes, this is happening.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
The Caitlin Clark effect on girls basketball, women's basketball.
Speaker 10 (09:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
See.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Part of why that effect is so powerful is because
it's something that you can look at your child and say,
go practice real hard, and you can do that. Yeah,
it's a fact that you look at somebody Vince Carter.
No matter how much time I spent out at the playground,
I was never doing what Vince Carter can do. But
Steph Curry or Kaitlyn Clark or whoever, Hey, go practice,
(10:04):
put up enough shots and you're going to get close
to that. That's the idea.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So why you can make the argument that Steph Curry
is as impactful as any player who's ever played the
game because he changed the style of play. Not you
couldn't be Mike, couldn't be Kobe, couldn't be Shack, but
you feel like you could be Steph. And I'm sure
that there are girls, women who feel like they could
(10:30):
be Caitlyn Clark. They can't be, but you can be
some kind of reasonable fact. Similar and the same thing
with Steph all the imitators, because you feel like if he.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Can do it, I should be able to do it.
Speaker 12 (10:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Brian in Seattle, Hi, Brian Wood's on your mind.
Speaker 10 (10:50):
Hey, but I had a comment about girl basketball. Girl basketball.
I used to stat and hio. I used to play
in our mural and there were always girls involved and
they would grab your jersey, try to trip you.
Speaker 13 (11:11):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (11:12):
Taught crap because they didn't know they could do any
you know, because you can't do anything. And I had
a follow up question, do you think a really good
high school boys basketball team could beat a WNBA team?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I don't want to do this. I don't want to
do this.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
We do this occasionally, and I don't want to do
this because it's not fair. Okay, it's just I don't
want to do that. Appreciate or don't watch, okay, because
then if a high school team does beat them all, well,
they're not any good. And by the way, the one
thing you should notice if you've watched the WNBA, it's
(11:52):
far more physical than you think. I mean, they go
after it, they're diving on the floor. It is far
more uh engaging, physical than you would believe. And I
think that's another thing people are caught up in. It's like, wow, man,
they're knocking her down, or she that's a foul or
that's a fla grinner. They play a whole lot rougher
(12:14):
than you think.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
He I'm Marvin, Yeah, and sometimes I do w NBA
games and I'm underneath the basket and who they are talking?
Oh yeah, and it's not hey, good play whatever Caitlin
Clark had said to Kennedy, Oh that's part for the course.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot more language there.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I remember Marvin came back and he did a Connecticut
Sun game and he goes, Man, these women they're not
afraid to say what's on their mind.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Yeah, they played the acest. Becky Hammond was cursing up a.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Storm, uh Batman in des Monet, I Batman, Hey.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Dan and the boys. Hey who likes food is calling
from San Francisco. Now I gotta I gotta say, I
gotta I gotta take on Kaylen Clark. I think Greece
is completely wrong. Last year wasn't about a reach rematch
with LSU. Last year was all about the scoring records. Pistol,
(13:14):
p all the ladies that she passed. It was every
game was must watch. It wasn't just to get back
at LSU. And I look at the attendance. Look at
the attendance that Angel Reese's team has.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Well, it's all encompassing, Batman, thanks for the phone call.
It is the scoring record, it is Iowa versus LSU.
What did I say as soon as the national title
game was over? I said they should schedule that game
to open up the season. To ensure you have that
game to open up college basketball season for the women,
(13:50):
you get a musty TV game now you know the
season started. So there's so many layers involved in this.
How she plays, what she looks like, where she plays,
and now you're coming into the WNBA, they're not going
to welcome you with open arms. Do I think that
there everybody's jealous of her. I don't, But I think
(14:12):
it's the competitor that we're missing with these players now.
Are there's jealousy? Angel Reese is clearly jealous of Caitlyn
Clark because of her comments when they won the title.
She went out of her way to go and get
in Caitlyn Clark's face, not even celebrate with your team.
That told me, yes, she's very envious of Caitlin Clark's
(14:33):
exposure here. But I mean, there's a lot involved in this.
It's very nuanced. And what I find troubling is when
you get people involved who aren't normally involved and now
they want to tell you all about women's basketball. They
want to, Hey, pull up a chair, I'm going to
pontificate here. That's where I get That's where I get concerned,
(14:56):
where all of a sudden, the Chicago Tribune op ed
says that was an assault. If that was done on
the street, it's an assault. See, that's where you lose people.
Ask people who have been covering the sport that they
are looking for attention. They didn't want this attention, but
(15:16):
they want eyeballs. Now you have eyeballs. Hopefully people will
sample the game and continue to do so because maybe
you stumble upon another player that you really like, or
maybe you wait for Page Beckers, or maybe you wait
for Juju Watkins. Maybe, but they have to take advantage
of this and have a ground swell where people are
(15:37):
going to watch this. And right now you've got a
lot of people talking, but they're not talking about the
play because Caitlin Clark has struggled too many turnovers. She
gets bumped around a lot. She needs to have time
to understand how to get prepared, and she didn't have
any time. You go from the end of your season
(16:00):
and you got a couple of weeks off the draft,
and now you're playing, and now you're playing against really,
really good teams and you're getting physical out physicaled by
these these players. But her turnovers terrible, and I think
she's I think she's exhausted. But I think you got
to understand how long it takes to get ready. Not
(16:22):
many people just step in in their stars, whether it's
a quarterback, you know, Steph Curry was a slow burn
like it.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
It takes time.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
And then we're going to find out probably in two years,
we may look back upon this and go con Lee.
I don't know why she struggled so much, or boy
did she learn how to whatever it is you understand
the game, and the game is completely different than what
she had at Iowa, where you might have one person
and they set a pick and you get to, you know,
(16:51):
shoot your jumpers. And she was unbelievable. Now it's you
set a pick, I'm coming after you. I'm going to
bump you a little bit, knock you off your spot,
she said, having a hard time with this now she's
still I thought she would average at best twenty and
I thought she would be a lot better passer. But
she's had so many turnovers and she's only averaging a
(17:11):
little over what a five assists per game. I thought
she would be more of a facilitator. She doesn't have
a good team, by the way. I mean, that's why
they got her. You got to factor that in as well.
If I put her on the Aces, chances are she's
probably having a better season.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
Yes, Mark, that's the greatest team that's ever been assembled.
If Caitlin Cluck's won the.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Aces, Yeah, pretty good, all right. The actor Ed O'Neill's
going to join us. He plays Donald Sterling in this
series called Clipped about the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
He lost his team. There were some.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Audio tapes that were released and the NBA stepped in
and stripped him of his team. But Ed O'Neil from
Modern Family and Married with Children will join us coming
up next back after this Dan Patrick show.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Before we get to Ed O'Neil, the actor who plays
Donald Sterling in the FX series called Clipped, and the
first two episodes premiere today exclusively on Hulu. So you
think about the Clippers, Nobody wanted to play for the Clippers.
Nobody cared about the Clippers. Their owner, Donald Sterling never
(19:08):
build a winner. It felt like if you went to
the Clippers, you were going into obscurity. He certainly had
a bad rap and earned a bad rap for the
person that he was, but he was still able to
coach or own the Clippers for a long time until
a couple of audio tapes were leaked to the media
(19:28):
where he said some very disparaging things, and that was
twenty fourteen. Well, Adam Silver swooped in. That's first thing
I think he did when he was on the job,
and he said, you are going to lose your team.
And that's when Steve Balmer came in and bought the Clippers.
And Ed O'Neill plays Donald Sterling, the disgraced former Clippers owner.
(19:51):
It's the series called Clipped in the first two episodes
premiere today exclusively on Peacock, So Ed O'Neil, who gave
us modern family, also gave us married with children, joins
us on the program. What's it like playing a bad
guy for.
Speaker 15 (20:05):
A change, It's I think all actors like playing bad guys. It's,
you know, you get to do things you don't normally
get to do, or say things you don't normally get
to say, and a certain freedom and with no punishment
at the end of the day, get a paycheck.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
But when you're known as you know, when somebody sees
you as Al Bundy and then they're going to see
as Donald Sterling. Yeah, you know when I talked to
Brian Cranston about you know, when he's on Malcolm in
the Middle and then you don't break in bad like
people had this like whoa this visceral reaction?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Will people have that? Do you think? Or you hope
they have?
Speaker 15 (20:45):
I think they certainly had it after married with children,
you know, because that ran eleven years, and I kind
of got I kind of got out of it a
little bit. You know, Modern Family ran eleven years, so
then they would I find it depended on where I
was and who I would. You know, in Vegas it
would be married, and then Beverly Hills would be Modern Family.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Or you know.
Speaker 15 (21:09):
Uh, And so I kind of got out of that
a little bit. And it never bothered me, to be
honest with you, I never I get well, you know,
I came from New York. I did a lot of theater,
and so I I just always felt like, well, I'm
a hired gun. I do a part. It can be drama,
it can be comedy. I don't care. And so that
(21:33):
was part of the reason I decided to do this,
because I thought I haven't used one hundred percent for
a long time. You know, the light comedies, the family
things can be great, and Modern Family certainly was a
great show. But I thought I only used seventy percent
of what I got, you know, you know, and so
(21:53):
I wanted to I wanted to challenge myself a bit,
and I thought, this is certainly a challenge.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
What part of the script did you go? Oh, for
a wow?
Speaker 15 (22:03):
I I liked the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
The sixth I think that dangerous or something that kind
of made you nervous that you were going to have
to say something.
Speaker 15 (22:12):
Uh no, No, maybe it should have, but I don't
think so. I think it because I know, you know,
it's a story that I think was entertaining, and it was.
It had a good pace, and it had well I knew.
I knew some of the actors coming in. I knew
Lawrence Fishburn from New York. I knew of Jackie Jackie
(22:38):
Weaver's work. I'd seen several of her movies, kind of
the Meryl Streep of Australia. I had worked with Corbyn
Bernson in a movie years ago called uh, Disorganized Crime.
So I knew some of the players and I thought, well,
it's good company, it's good writing, it's good paycheck. It's
(23:01):
six and I'm out. It's not going to be you know,
eleven years.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Let's go. What's tough for comedy or drama?
Speaker 15 (23:11):
I don't think either one. I mean, I don't know.
I mean, I know it's it's if you're funny. Comedy's
not that hard. If you're not funny, it's it's a
bad job.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
When do you know you're funny when they laugh? But
are you trying to crack up the crew or your
fellow actors?
Speaker 15 (23:31):
I you know, it depends. I mean, you know, when
you're trying to be funny, it doesn't matter. I don't
think you could do it on the street corner and
the drama. You know, all the best actors that I've
ever watched and enjoyed are kind of funny. You know.
Laurence Olivier, Brando was kind of funny. Could be the Niro.
(23:52):
You know, all those guys can be kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Did you work with Pacino?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
One of your first acting gigs was that cruising Yeah?
Did you see in Paccino what we eventually saw in Pacino?
Speaker 15 (24:06):
Well, he was already famous, he had already done The Godfather.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Oh okay, okay, as you know.
Speaker 15 (24:12):
That part, and he was well on his way, so yeah,
you knew he was a special actor.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
What was Brando like?
Speaker 15 (24:20):
I never met Brando? Oh okay, I just I just
referenced him. I never met him.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
He didn't do married. He did do a cameo and
married with children? Oh no he did.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, we're talking talking to Ed O'Neill, the actor married
with children, Modern Family and he plays Donald Sterling in clipped.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I was also the older we get, the.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Better we were when we were an athlete. So you know,
nobody's around to remember that. I wasn't as good as
I tell people that I was. So you played college
football and then get drafted by the Steelers.
Speaker 15 (24:56):
Well I wasn't drafted, Okay, So I was. I was
a paid I was a aid free agents. I stay paid,
not much. But it was chuckles first year and I
was coming from Youngstown. I played for how you kind
of got That didn't work out for me too well,
(25:16):
and then I just I didn't care for the coaches.
And then I went to Youngstown State. That didn't work
out for me too well either. Again it was a coach.
Of course, I started asking myself, I wonder if this
is my fault, you know, and it may well have been.
And then I got picked up by that. There was
(25:38):
a scout that you know, they have these NFL scouts
at the at least they used to who cover like
five teams, and this guy was the Steelers was one
of the teams. I think Detroit and I forget the rest,
but he he contacted me when I was still at
OU and I told him I was going to go
to Youngstown State, and he kept an eye on me apparently,
(26:01):
so that when I after my senior year, he said,
we're gonna, you know, we're gonna call you a night
of the draft. We're not going to draft you, but
we want you to come try out. So I did.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
That was how it worked. How was it meeting me
and Joe Green? I never met Joe.
Speaker 15 (26:20):
Because I came in with the with the rookies naturally,
and some vets were there, but they were there for reasons,
you know, like working on a knee or you know
what I mean. So there were some vets there, but
Joe hadn't come in yet. I think it may have
been a contract thing yet or something. I don't remember.
(26:41):
But let's see the quarterback was Terry Hanritty Notre Dame,
and then Dick Shiner. They got Shiner from the Giants.
And I was trying to make outside linebacker, which I
we didn't have an outside linebacker in college. We played
a five to four and I played middle guard. I
(27:02):
played tight end, defensive end, no outside linebacker, so I
wasn't used to playing standing up. I was on a
you know, a four point kind of thing, so and
I didn't know the I didn't know the keys, flat coverage,
you know all that stuff. But I've over the tight end.
I knew how to whack somebody, and but I didn't
(27:26):
know the position. So I'm trying to make the team
and learn the position. And hey, that's tough.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
What was it like me?
Speaker 15 (27:34):
Luckie Blyer was in Vietnam. That's what I'm giving you
the time frame.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
And then Bradshaw got drafted the following year. The next year, Yeah,
did Chuck Nole know your name?
Speaker 15 (27:45):
I think he did.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I could be wrong, You'd like to think that he knew.
Speaker 15 (27:50):
He was very nice to me. Today I got cut,
and you know, I'll tell you a funny thing that
I actually I think I blocked it out of my mind,
because I think I just remembered this recently, and that
was that when I was talking to him towards the
end of our little discussion, you know, and he was
(28:10):
telling me how much he liked me and so forth.
He said, listen, I talked to cool Herrick with the Eagles,
and if you want to try it, they need linebackers.
We'll rent you a car. We were down to Saint
Vincent's College and you can drive up there. They'll give
you a good look. But I got to know right
now because they got to fill that and I thought
(28:30):
maybe ten seconds, and I said, nah, I'm out. I
was surprised myself that I said that, and he seemed surprised.
He said, you don't want to. I said, no, I'm done.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Thanks. Didn't you have Bradshaw on? Was he onuh? Married? Yeah?
Speaker 15 (28:52):
He was unmarried?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
And in modern Modern Family?
Speaker 15 (28:56):
Yeah, Terry and I are pretty good friends.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Do you remember the first to read through with Modern Family?
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Like?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Well?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Which one made you a little bit more nervous of
how long is this going to last?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Married or Modern?
Speaker 12 (29:10):
Well?
Speaker 15 (29:10):
I didn't think married would last over you know, two
or three shows, and I think it was I think
it was only bought for like six and then uh,
because I thought we'd be canceled any at any minute,
at any time. And that went on for three or
four or five years, because you know, we weren't. We
(29:31):
weren't the darling of the critics, you know, with the
material we were. We were slinging around, you know, but
it was funny. I thought it was funny. Not all
of it, but a lot of it. So I but
so we were like I used to. I think I
used it like the little show that could. We just
kept chugging along, you know, until finally we got up
(29:53):
around eleven and then they gave us the boot?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Do people actually think Modern?
Speaker 15 (29:57):
I knew I thought Modern would be a hit the
first I read the script.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Oh well, I said, this show is a hit. Do
people actually think you're married to Sophia?
Speaker 15 (30:09):
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
No, No, who wouldn't believe it?
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yeah, but you're a good actor, Thank you, Thank you dad.
We were supposed to believe that on the show.
Speaker 15 (30:19):
You know what, I credit her with a lot of that,
because she really did make me seem you know, like
she did find me sexy or lovable in some way,
you know, even though the structure of it was I
was a wealthy guy and she needed a father and
someone who could provide for her and her little boy.
(30:43):
So in that regard it worked, and you know she's great.
By the way, Sophia and I are dear friends.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
That sounds like a typical Hollywood story where there's an
older rich guy and then there's a younger woman. That's Hollywood,
isn't it.
Speaker 15 (30:56):
Has that ever happened?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Good luck being the bad guy there.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Great to talk to you, and thanks for jo Okay, Hey, Karen,
nice meeting you. Ed O'Neill actor, he's not married to
Sophia Vegara in real life, but gave me the impression that, okay,
maybe he could pull this off there. I like the Steelers'
stories going to camp there back in the late sixties,
missed out on me and Joe Green, but got to
(31:23):
meet Chuck Noll Terry Bradshaw. So the show that they
have two episodes that are available on Hulu. It's called Clipped,
and it's about Donald Sterling and the Clippers when he
was stripped of his team.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Travis in Green Bay, Hi, Travis, what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Good morning, Dan, Thanks for having me on the show.
I love that interview with that O'Neil. I'm a big fan.
I had a couple of movie suggestions. If you've got
a second okay for Ed O'Neil. Have you ever seen
the film Dutch?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I don't John Hughes film, No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
That's a great comedy, okay.
Speaker 9 (32:06):
And then Lawrence Wisburne. I'm kind of going to old
school here, but searching for Bobby Fisher.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Yeah, he plays the uh chess guy in the in
the Washington Square Park. Thank you for that, Travis. And
so he's teaching him speed chess. Bobby Fisher, well, the
child who is they're searching for the next Bobby Fisher.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
That's a great movie, it really is. It was when
when you.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Go, oh, it's about a chess prodigy, and then you're
going okay, and then you watch it and then it's
more than about chess. It's about a dad and a
son and relationship and coming back and competing. So and
then you have like the real life chess drama that's
going on right now with this player who they have
(32:51):
accused of cheating and he beat the world champ.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
What is it? Magnus Carlson and uh I don't want to.
I don't want to get outside on lane here.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
But there is, you know, this controversy with this uh
kid who came out of this out of nowhere and
then he said all strip naked because they thought maybe
he was getting censors that would were attached to his
body somehow somebody was giving him some kind of information.
But that'll probably be made into a movie as well.
And then you had the Queen's gambit, who dow chess?
(33:22):
Was that interesting? It takes too much time, Like I
don't want to think that much. It still't Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Hans Niemann is the controversial chess guy. You're talking, okay, Yeah,
Caitlin Clark of the chess.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
World, Well, he apparently trashes hotel rooms like he's he
acts like a rock star here. But I think it's
it's Magnus Carlson might be the number one ranked player
in the world.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
He's the established channing. Yes, yes, what you if it's
your first year playing chess?
Speaker 5 (33:51):
What is it? What are you if it's your first
year playing chess? What would you be called? That's all,
It's all hard.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I didn't know you guys. Yeah, this guy's pulled up
a little while.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Okay, see instructured on the highway seat and tried to
convince me that Let's Get Quizzical might actually be so
bad it's good.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
I believe I said great.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Great.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Don't misinterpret my words, Dan, I believe I said great.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
So I'm just walking by seat, not in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
During commercial break, he goes, you know, I think we
may be under selling Todd's Let's Get Quizzical good.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
It might be great. It does we just because we
remember it doesn't make it great.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Not only do Okay, it might be more of strength
on a talk about how strong physical is as a song,
that it just gets stuck in your head. But I
sing Todd's quizical song constantly, right, Man, it's stuck in
my head all the time. It's great, it's it's it
actually turns out it's fabulous.
Speaker 13 (34:55):
What I've heard Marvin going it makes great sports radio conversation.
So I'll hear him kind of google.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Okay, okay, how about I take a break, challenge yourself, mend.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Let me let me take let me take a break.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
So this is when Olivia Newton John died and Todd
came in the next day and he goes, I have
a tribute song to Alivia Newton Joe.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
I felt compelled to honor her.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
And so of course let's take a break. I'll ponder
if we play a portion of that. Coming up, more
of your phone calls as well. Robert Or will join
us in the final hour of the program. We're back
after this.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
NBA Finals Thursday night, Stanley Cup Final starts on Saturday.
We'll talk to Robert Or, seven time NBA champ. He'll
join us. Coming up next hour. We'll get to phone
calls coming up eight seven, seven to three DP show.
I don't know why, but I'm kind of caving in
here to the dant sentiment here that Todd came up
(36:05):
with Let's get quizzical, based off Let's Get Physical, a
song by Olyba Newton John. And when she passed away,
Todd wanted to, for some reason write a tribute to
Olivia Newton John. And Todd, of course, is never on
the beat, as you'll be able to tell here. For
somebody who loves music, loves singing. You have no idea
(36:28):
how to sing. It's unfortunately on time.
Speaker 13 (36:31):
I'm a shower singer, and even then it's a questionable.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yes, Pom.
Speaker 8 (36:35):
To preface this audio, one of the reasons it is
spectacular is because it was meant to be good. It
was not meant to be a joke. He was trying
hard to make a good tribute to Olivia Newton John
Bonus coverage. He did one take. The guy's in the
back producing it said would you like another take to
clean it up a little bit? He said, nope, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
I nailed it all right. There's a little bit of
Todd's tribute to Olivia Newton John.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
We're coming up with questions that I know your luck.
Speaker 12 (37:04):
It mixed their sports radio conversation. You gotta answer it
just right. You know what I mean, don't google. Let's
just try to.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
Think it out.
Speaker 12 (37:17):
Tell yourself meant to leave, make sure you know what
you're talking about, or get embarrassed on radio and TV.
Let's get quizical. Quizical. I wanna do a quizical. Let's
start into quizical. Let me hear your Runsom, Now you're
runs and now let me hear your rntom.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Now alrighty, just hear it? Yeah, pretty great.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
I love don't hang off in frustration.
Speaker 12 (37:48):
We're up against a commercial break.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 12 (37:54):
I'm sure you'll understand if we potfone too.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
This is like an extra verse and I don't know it.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
I don't do nearly know. I don't think we ever
got this far.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
I'm sure you'll understand if we poke fun at you.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
That's yet, that's amazing, all right, I wanted that is nice.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Okay, I'm sure you understand if we poke funny.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Yeah, now that you've died, I'm sure you'll understand.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
It was the number two.
Speaker 13 (38:22):
Song in nineteen eighty one on the Solid Gold Counter
and with Andy Gibbon, Marilyn McCoo, than You Kiss on
My List three, Betty Davis Eyes was one, and Physicals too.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Okay, all right, there you go. Probably didn't expect that today,
but you're welcome.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
You don't love that.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
I cringe, I still cringe. And the fact that Todd
a sounded thought it sounded really good, and b that
that's supposed to be a tribute to Olivia Newton John Yes, Todd.
Speaker 13 (38:53):
Yeah, I had a big crush on her, and I
just thought that her music and grease and everything, and
I felt like something needed to be done. Even though
it sounds like I was trying to just destroy one
of her top hits.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Why couldn't you pay tribute to her in a different way?
Speaker 5 (39:07):
Like to quote Sandra Das, I don't know how.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
You just say, you know what, what a wonderful career
she accomplished this, she was in that movie.
Speaker 13 (39:15):
In that movie, I felt obligated to do something more creative.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
You know what, normal people, You know, when when somebody dies,
that doesn't mean that, uh gayl King on the CBS
Morning Show is going to start singing somebody's songs.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
Yes, but God, Todd did something from the heart. He
was moved and inspired to do something that meant was
personal to him. I think it was great.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
How do you think Olivia Newton John would have felt
if she were still alive and Todd had a tribute
song to her?
Speaker 4 (39:52):
I think she would have been graciously horrified.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
When you stop singing that, yes it's you said, cringe, Georgy.
The moments, cringeworthy moments are great TV. It's like when
Steve Harvey was given the Award to Miss Columbia and
you're watching it happen on TV where she's not getting
it and it's transfixing.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Similar. Yeah, but that wasn't a tribute to Miss Columbia.
Speaker 9 (40:19):
No, it was not.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
He just screwed up.
Speaker 8 (40:20):
Like the Academy Awards where Warren Batty opens a thing
and gives it to the wrong movie La la lan cringeworthy.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Yeah, Todd wasn't trying to be princeworthy.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
You did it, but you weren't trying.
Speaker 13 (40:32):
I couldn't fit in my Xanadue tank top, so I
was like, let me just write a song.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
There by the way.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Caitlin Clark's rookie season stats sixteen points, six assists, five rebounds.
Steph Curry's rookie season seventeen points, six assists, four rebounds.
But he had nowhere near the fanfare coming into the NBA. Remember,
he wasn't even going to be a starter, or maybe
he was just going to be a spot up shooter.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
Yes, they picked Johnny Flynn over him in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
And Ricky Rubio two point guards, Yes, and they missed
on both of them. Final hour on the way, big
shot Bob Robert or will stop by
