Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I love audience participation, audience engagement, but this fight would
be over. Todd is gonna die on this hill if
he's gonna stay in the left lane. He's not moving over,
even though it's called the passing lane, and social media
is not being kind to Todd.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Start losing followers. I'm gonna be like non existed in
the world. What am I gonna do? I gotta get
more likes. I'm gonna change my opinion.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
You're only gonna lose five. You know that's all my brand.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Topic to my brand.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Okay, why can't you admit, all right, maybe I need
to change my driving style.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'll give it some thought. I just did. I'm gonna
stay in the left lay to let them go out.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Yes, Paul Todd does not believe that it's more dangerous
when a fast car passes on the right on a
three lane highway and goes into the middle lane.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It's a problem right there.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
A fast car, if you're going at normal speech, should
be that dangerous.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
To move around.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
I wish a policeman or someone who knows about your
traffic rules would call and explain this shit.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I don't even think we need a police officer to
call in. I think it's just common sense. Let's just
get out of the passing lane.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Let's move over.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
I like to go one hundred, too bad, Get out
of my will now, it's one hundred. If I'm going
seventy five and they're on my tail, to me, they're
going at.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Least eighty five.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, see that's too fast.
Speaker 7 (01:22):
It's one. Someone just said on social media, fire him immediately.
That seemed a little harsh my livelihood. I had a
friend too that just said I actually hate him.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
For this, so passionate, God bless him and pass good
or bed if even if that not taking myself with
the passion, that's what we like.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Like. This has made me dislike Fritzi forever. He's the
worst type of driver out there. There is little I
love more than when Fritzie argues for himself when he's
clearly wrong.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I just blocked him on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Todd stop impeding traffic. Exclamation point Todd is incorrect. Uh,
just like the sign John Elway's dad and Vince Lombardi
had on their desk, lead follow or get the f
out of the way.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
How am I going to be a social media influencer?
Now what's going to become of me?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I don't think you ever were.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So that's like, how will I ever become one?
Speaker 7 (02:20):
This is a funny turn to take. It's like this
weird influencer defense. Now, yeah, I don't know just or
or he could just move from the left lane to
the middle lane.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
How about or that? Yeah, when it comes to discussing something,
can you just pick a lane? Todd Like, pick a
lane that's where they need to go. You've been all
over the highway here, all over the highway? How fast
somebody's going? Next thing? You know, you're racing through plowing
through a CBS. There's a grandma going thirty miles an
(02:50):
hour now with social media?
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Like, how was going seventy five left lane? Blocking the
person behind me? How am I inconvenicing them? How is
why is that such a horrible thing? I'm going faster
than I'm supposed to be going already, by like double digits.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I could get a ticket for that.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Should you be going ten miles over the speed limit
to begin But.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Now I'm forced to go even faster because it's probably
your crash into my bucket.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And now I got to go to Todd. You can
get in the right lane and he can go to
the middle lane from the left lane too. Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
See That's the thing that I can't put my finger
on just yet. Is why if Todd is upset that
that person is in such a rush that they you know,
they want to get by him, then just go around
me or whatever. But why is Todd's Todd is so
important that he gets to stay in that lane, but
that other person is less important than Todd. Whatever they
(03:40):
have going on can't be as important as whatever Todd
has going on because he gets to stay in that
one lane.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
I don't understand that part of it.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
I don't look at as an important thing. It's more
of it. If anything, it's a stubborn thing. It's like
I'm already going plenty fast and maybe I shouldn't be
arbitrary deciding what's fast.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I understand that argument, But.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I'm already going what I would consider very fast in
the left lane and it's still not fasten up for
this person behind me.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Are you not trying to hold anybody up? Or like
I'm better than you to be?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Haha, I'm making your You're stuck behind me because there's
no way for you to get around me.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
For the next several months of you literally stuck, there's
nothing you do.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
There's this psychology attached to this with you, there really is.
You don't want to be told. Just like whenever we
bring up something and we can be one hundred percent right,
you'll never go you know what, you're right, You'll you'll
change the argument.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I'll say I appreciate your point.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'll go that fine, I know, but you never stay
on the topic. You move it. Now all of a sudden,
we're talking about other things.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
It's take for me to change my opinion. And then
I will throw things that have nothing to do with
the argument. I know that'll somehow get through.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I know, and then I always bring it back to
what the argument.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But again it doesn't.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
I'm not it's not meant to be an arrogant thing.
And if it's preceding.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
It is it is. You don't want to be told
what to do.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
This person's trying to tell me what to do. He's
trying to make me go even faster. So I'm been
he's telling me what to do.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
By driving, somebody's not driving safely. I'm going to move
out of the way and let them do what they.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
How is that person not telling me what to do?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
If he's on my bum he or she's on my bumper,
that's they're telling me you better go faster or get
out of my way.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
So they're telling me what to do.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Do you want to fight or be safe?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I would like to be saved.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Okay, then move over.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
But I think both people are in the right or
wrong in that situation. Yeah, they can go faster than
ever to keep up with the sweet that this person
wants me to go, or they can just go around
me for something, risk everyone's lives going to the middle lane.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
We just got our first muck headline assing Lane.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Yes, Marvin and Fritzie, you want headlines against me like Lane.
Speaker 9 (05:37):
And Fritzie wants people to explain why they're going so fast,
like oh, if somebody's having a baby, or if you
know there's an ambulance, they have to explain who in
the rudy blue hell or you that they need to
explain why they're going so fast, and you're in the
It's called the passing lane for a reason.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
It's not the dragstrip lane.
Speaker 10 (05:57):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I just I just I don't know. I just I
find it.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
You know, this person is also trying to dictate how
fast I go by almost crash it by riding my bumper. God, well,
how is that person absolved from everything? How do you
not just fold your tent?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I can't because I'm I'm not.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
If I was going forty to fifty whatever, then I
could see, like, what are you holding everybody up? This
is the lane where everyone goes faster than the middle
in and right lane. I'm going beyond the speed limit
and still not good enough. This person's on my tail
like I'm holding everybody up? So how that person's being
the arrogant.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
A hour of the program, we'll talk to Dan Hurley.
He will join us.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Got a memoir, fire him, walk them, throw them to
the wolves for crying out out.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Just move over, it's all. Just move over. It's okay.
You can get back in the left lane if you want.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I want them to move over so I can see
what this idiot looks like. That's in a big hurry.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Well, if you move over to the right, then you
can see them as they go by it here.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
But I want to get that win.
Speaker 11 (06:57):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
The game of a Chick and I you how to move.
You thought I was gonna move, but you change.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Sunday night, it'll be Micah Parsons going back to Dallas
to face the Cowboys. Packers Cowboys a rivalry renewed Sunday
seven Eastern on NBC and Peacock Dante and San Diego.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Hi Dante.
Speaker 12 (07:16):
They call me Padre Dante H five five nine a
California Brito one seventy two. Hey, just wanna circle back
to the base or role Fritty.
Speaker 13 (07:30):
I'm gonna get to you.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Hey.
Speaker 13 (07:32):
Uh for the playoffs, I've always thought about this, Why
don't they turn off the pitch clock to start the
seventh inning? Because we love the excitement, the anticipation between
a pitcher and a batter when it's the post Lina game,
the crowds gaining wild. So that's just my proposal, Like
to hear what you think, Dan Fritty, Mama Mia, you
are the problem. Just get over you, blockhead. You're probably
(07:56):
the guy that still have the ism sort that's still
request to try the play favor of Vanilla.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
So me and this person behind me, we're absolved from
any kind of speeding ticket, I would think, because it's
all about you know, the safety and the passing lane
of it. So if I'm going eighty and the person
behind me is going ninety, the police would just wink
at that.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
They can't go ninety behind you if you're going eighty, Todd,
they can't.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
If football going over the speed limit.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
I would think based in this scenario, like neither one
of us is doing anything wrong. This person is just
trying to get past me, and I'm camping in the lane,
So like, you know, just just let them go. One's
going eighty, one's going ninety, and that's the way it goes.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Or you could just move on and go about your
day and drive exactly as fast as you want.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Someone said the same thing that that seems that explicitly
prohibits left lane camping and requires drivers to use the
left lane only for passing, preparing for a left lane
exitor when necessary due to obstructions or traffic congestion. The
goal is to reduce crashes, yes, and improve traffic.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
That's what we've been saying for twenty minutes. Reduce crashes
and improve traffic.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
So why is there a speed limit?
Speaker 14 (08:55):
Then?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
If it's all about like why limit? Hey, how fast
as you want? Would you move to Germany and you
got the auto. We're all basically saying, go as fast
as you want in the left lane. That's that's what
the left plane is for. Go one hundred, go to
one hundred and fifty, go as fast.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
As you This is this is where you sound real.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
If I'm going one hundred and thirty behind me once
to go one hundred and fifty, I'm supposed to get
out of there.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Line now it's one hundred and fifty, whatever, it's above
the speeding It doesn't matter what the number is. It
could be sixty six, it could be one hundred and two.
We're breaking the law. We're both speeding.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yeah, point in our state. It's different in all states.
But it's actually illegal to pass in the right lane
or on the right and you'd be charge at reckless driving.
So Todd's forcing a situation. Todd won't admit that there's
an etiquette during driving that we all somewhat you know,
subscribe to, and by doing this, he's messing up the
etiquette for everyone else and putting others in danger. While
(09:49):
knowing this, he told us in the break, he's not
changing how he drives.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
I would ask the congressman that would refer to the congressman,
what is the camping speed?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
And can you go pretty much as fast as you
want in the left lane?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Do you do you realize you're putting people in danger?
Speaker 6 (10:02):
That's not the intention, But it doesn't feel like it's
not like the person behind me is putting a danger.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I'm asking you, do you realize you're putting.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I guess I don't realize. I know that this person
behind me is about to cause an.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
APIs Are you putting people in danger camping in the
left light?
Speaker 15 (10:18):
Yes?
Speaker 16 (10:18):
Or no?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
I don't feel like I want to say no. I
don't feel like I'm putting anybody in danger. And I
want to know what camping means. That's a very convenient,
vague term that leagues get away with their rules, and
so does I guess the Department of Transportation camping?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
What that camp is?
Speaker 17 (10:33):
That?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
What is the camping?
Speaker 7 (10:35):
Like?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Like I parked and I set up a tent trying
to get duke tickets that's on come. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Once again, let's change you move the goal line. Gold
post camping.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
Makes it sound like you just you know you're gonna
make some take out your marshmallows out and you just
gotta pulled over and blocking.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Everything again, we gotta change terrible terms.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Camping. Left ling camping, what a ridiculous phrase.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
You're gonna lead me to an early grave.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I'm not trying to aggravate everybody.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Know what your main character syndrome is off the charts.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Guy behind me is an extra.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Once again, when you show up at my way, can
you run into my wife? I want you to say,
I'm sorry I did this. Okay, you gotta.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Be running into left lane. Are you gonna have like
lane setups so you can get the point across?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Okay? So now I don't want to be camping My
death is funny.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I don't want to be camping out during the service.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Other people trying to get to their seats and pay respect,
and there I'm camping out, not running fast enough to
my seat.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I'd be terrible to do that.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
You can't run, I can't.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I have to plant the fashions.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Once again, you're gonna make fun of me dying.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
So someone needs to call in, like Paulie said, and
set the straight. And I urged them to explain what
left lane camping means, what.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
That's Paulie, would you just find something, you find.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
An expert who knows more of that?
Speaker 6 (11:54):
And is it safe to ride someone's bumper in the
left lane because they're not going that many miles past.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
The sah' is the pole question for the final hour
over the program scene as I'll just rip up everything.
It's I mean, I feel bad for Dan Hurley coming
on to talk about his memoir.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
You know, I gotta tell you, that's a guy. I
want to know exactly what his driving habits are. If
there was ever road rage personified, I feel like it
might be. Coach, how do you feel about somebody who
won't move over? Is that my first question?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Coach, how do you feel about somebody camping in the
left lane on the highway.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
He's got he's got the Jersey part of it, He's
got Connecticut. He's that's a fellow who understands frustrated.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
The driving Aaron and Fort Wayne Hiern Hey, Dan, thanks
for taking my call.
Speaker 18 (12:44):
My grandpa drove like this and uh all the way
from Fort Wayne to New Simberna Beach. You know you're
talking about the subtle middle finger you get a lot
of really aggressive middle fingers when you're going seventy two
in the left lane all the way to New Summerna Beach.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah, Todd's not changing. George and Arizona.
Speaker 16 (13:03):
Hi George, Hi Dan, Dan, that's good morning. I think
what Todd also fails to realize if he not only
puts people in das he want right, he wants himself
a great risk of serious injury or death because allans,
I've been rear ended by a person driving mattey miles
(13:25):
an hour in the left lane that could force him
into the middle barrier. There's nothing much to his car.
I've seen that happen there. I was on too many times.
He's really really retinct. That's best position with his riding
with his family. Walk with your family at risk of that?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
All right, thank you, George. Have we exhausted this topic?
Speaker 14 (13:45):
We good?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I think we're just scratching the off.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
No we're not. No, No, we're not.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
I feel like we really have to get coaches thoughts on.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
All right, I will, I will.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
I see, I see why we may have exhausted.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
My problem, I guess is one of them of many
is I never realized how danger it is to go
from the left lane to the middle end.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
But now that you do, are you changing?
Speaker 6 (14:05):
No, because I don't believe that that is such a
crazy dangerous move to go around me, because I'm not
going as fast as you'd like me to go.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
That that can't be that horribly complicated.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
And dangerous of a move to go from the left
lane to the middle land. Then was just stuck in
the left lane forever until there's a left exit to
get up.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I just gotta stuck there, like you're on.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
A good morning.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
If you're watching on Peacock, I apologize, or you're listening
on our radio affiliates around the country, I apologize as well.
The tweets are coming in fast and free and uh.
For the most part, Todd's doesn't have any friends. Although
here's somebody that Todd just sent me. Yeah, of course,
(14:41):
I said, funny you. Yeah, I'm totally with Fritzy one
with him the ass tailgating ask him to go around
one hundred bucks. Say they drive a truck going ten
miles over the speed limit x campaign.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Oh the pickup truck, very busy getting the logs and
I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Get if I'm already going above the speed limit, and
you want to go even faster than go around me.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
These unwritten rules or lame so.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
Sor was the example. Todd just gave a logging truck
tailghitting him.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
He just said, oh, yes, a truck. I have to
get these logs in truck.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
I think of logging log So it's a logging truck
that's going an hour in Connecticut of all places, and
you're small.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
In the bottom half of your body, and I got
to get the pickup truck.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Got a compensation compensation somewhere?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
What size of logs are you going to put in
a pickup truck?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
You're talking about macho.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Logging, gotta go really fast in the left lane all
he drives a truck.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I'm not naming names.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
I'm just saying that. Also a huge logger. Yeah, everybody
knows that. No, No, it's a logger drinking. I got
logger in the back here. Pickup truck, yeah, blogging, what
are we?
Speaker 7 (15:59):
I would concur the pickup truck guy is the most
uh terrifying driver currently.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
That's why I.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Move over the motorcycle tattoo guy with a big lady
friend with the tattoos on the back seat.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Motorcycle guy, let's go meet up and hang out and
get some bs.
Speaker 5 (16:16):

cars like the Honda Civic with the twelve dollars muffler.

Good morning, Scott, what's on your mind?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
How you doing?
Speaker 15 (18:23):
Good morning, Dan, Dan ed pleasure talking to you guys,
First time caller, longtime listener, coming in six three five.
I'm one thousand percent back of Frity in this argument.
This is one of those tell me you've never driven
in California without telling me you've never driven in California.
If you're already doing ten miles over the speed limit
and somebody's in such a hurry, then they can race
(18:45):
around me. I don't care by your time. It's way
more dangerous to be speeding fifteen twenty miles an hour
over the speed limit and pass somebody. Plus, we call
those people paysetters. The cops are going to catch them
before they catch us, and that's better them than us
when they get pulled over.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
For all right, Scott, you and Fritzy in the same
lane there.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That was two hundred and twelve to three.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Dan Hurley, he's got a new memoir, Never Stop Life,
Leadership and What it Takes to be Great.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Before we get to the book.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Do you want to weigh on the on this topic
of driving in the fast lank What kind of driver
are you?
Speaker 11 (19:23):
I mean, it would probably you know, surprise people. But
I'm actually a pretty calm driver. You know, my wife
drives like a Jersey person. You know, I listen, I'm
you should not be driving, you know, five or ten
miles per hour below the speed limit in the left lane,
like left left furthest lane.
Speaker 14 (19:45):
Slow drivers, I you know, they're very frustrating.
Speaker 11 (19:52):
I would say my biggest frustration is like when you're
getting off an exit and there's a backup, when you're
getting off on an exit and.
Speaker 14 (19:59):
People you.
Speaker 11 (20:01):
Know, where you've waited in traffic to get off an
exit and people drive, you know, drive past that congestion
and then cross over at the last second and don't
sit and wait the ten minutes to get off the exit.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Have you been flipped off a lot?
Speaker 14 (20:20):
Yeah? Yeah, a lot I'm more of But I'm not
a flip off person.
Speaker 11 (20:25):
Well, I think it aggravates people more when you kind
of when you give them a thumbs up, like, hey,
great job, you're good.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Like all right, so you're writing a memoir here and
by the way, next Wednesday, October first, you can celebrate
the publication of the new book. It'll be on campus
the Jorgensen Center for Performing Arts. Forty dollars for adults,
(20:52):
thirty five for Yukon students. All tickets general admission. What
was the biggest challenge of being vulnerable in this book?
Speaker 11 (21:02):
Yeah, I would say, you know, for you know, for me, Dan,
it was probably like reliving, like reliving some of the
tougher parts of your life. You know, you end up
reading the manuscript, you know, eight or nine times, and
you make some subtle changes or some bigger changes with
(21:24):
wording or what have you. But when you're reading those
tough parts of your life, whether it's uh, you know,
just my experience as a player in college, dealing with
you know, some severe you know, mental health issues, serious depression,
you know, the tough parts of your career and your
(21:44):
family life, like being you know, being a young husband
and a young father and dealing with uh, you know,
career adversity and financial struggles. I think, like, you know,
when you're when you're working on the project and you're
like reading those tough parts about your life and re
reading them and rereading them and rereading them, you know,
(22:04):
it became a little bit uncomfortable. It was almost like
I was re experiencing that.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Again, your brother's one of the great point guards in
college basketball history, but you felt the brunt of that.
It felt like because you weren't Bobby Hurley. How do
you address that that stress level being mocked and you
know how that factored in with depression.
Speaker 14 (22:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (22:30):
I think for me, you know that this book was
you know, an opportunity, you know, to to reach people
that you know suffer. You know, for me, you know,
I've had an unhealthy relationship you know, with perfectionism. A
lot of you know, I'm obviously I'm filled with insecurity,
(22:53):
which is at times really a positive thing you know,
to keep you striving, but at times like fear of failure. Insecurity, Uh,
an unhealthy relationship with perfectionism. And I think the thing
that costed me the most suffering, you know, really throughout
my life, my playing career and then when I became
(23:14):
a coach, was.
Speaker 14 (23:15):
You know, the comparison trap.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
You know that that that comparison you know, game that
you play with yourself, you know, relative to others, is
something that uh, you know became tortures for me as
a player, you know, with with my brother, and then
as a young coach, you know, with with with my dad.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Are you satisfied? Can you be satisfied?
Speaker 11 (23:39):
Now?
Speaker 14 (23:41):
Never? Uh?
Speaker 12 (23:42):
You know.
Speaker 11 (23:45):
I don't think so, not not the way I'm wired.
I think, you know, for you know, for me, it's uh,
it's embedded. You know, the standard, the drive, you know,
just the you know, the household you grow up in
and you know, your your own competitive fire. You know
that's a byproduct of where you grew up, how you
(24:08):
were raised, Uh, the mentality you've developed, the place that
you coach at, Like when you choose to coach at
a place like Yukon uh and coach the basketball team here,
you know, there's a constant pressure to uh, you know,
to deliver you know, externally.
Speaker 14 (24:24):
But you know when that internal drive, uh, you know.
Speaker 11 (24:29):
Begins when when I start accepting losing or when I'm
not devastated by a season like last year, that then
you know it'll be time for me to get out.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
How close did you come to leaving college basketball recently?
Speaker 11 (24:44):
I would say for two or three days, like I was,
you know, I had pretty extensive conversations you know with
my guy Jordan Bizant, you know, over at Vox for
a couple of days. And yeah, I mean it was
it was It was like the perfect storm of things,
(25:04):
you know, the the sport itself, not not having any
idea what the rules of your game are going to be,
you know, relative to you know, we're here in rumors
that there's going to be potentially a fifty year for players.
You know, so you've got you know, nil where you
have no idea what the market is right now you
have this the player is going to now be getting
(25:26):
five years, you know, potentially five years to play five
you know, there's been no restrictions relative to the portal.
Speaker 14 (25:33):
It's still free agency at the end of every year.
Speaker 11 (25:36):
And then you put on top of that, for me,
you know, you go back to back, those seasons are longer,
so there's a little bit of a you know, success fatigue,
you know, the Lakers things happens, so your ego is
at an all time high. Then you have a horrible season,
and then you take the criticism throughout the year that
you know, and and and a lot of times it's
(25:58):
it's justified.
Speaker 14 (25:59):
And and so it's like the perfect storm with stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
You Stan Hurley the book is never Stop, like leadership
and what it takes to be great and he co
wrote this with great writer Io O'Connor.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Do you have imposter syndrome?
Speaker 11 (26:19):
Yeah, I mean imposter syndrome insecurity? Absolutely, insecurity. You know,
there's definitely a feeling that's been pretty embedded in me,
you know, that that I'm never quite good enough.
Speaker 14 (26:33):
But it's not just relative to basketball.
Speaker 11 (26:36):
You know, I also feel that way, you know, as
as a husband, as a father, in other aspects of
my life. You know, I just have this, you know,
mindset where I feel like like I can always I
can always do more, I can always be better.
Speaker 14 (26:52):
And one of the first things that coach Calhoun told
me when I got.
Speaker 11 (26:55):
The job here, you know, besides get your ass and gear,
uh get this program fixed, was like, you know, the
best coaches have a have a have a level of
insecurity about them. That's a that's a real driver to
continue to get better and and always be prepared.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
What's the difference between coaching intent or coaching angry?
Speaker 11 (27:22):
Well, I think I coached intents and in twenty twenty
four and I coached angry.
Speaker 14 (27:29):
You know, like it's for me. I think in my
life I've done probably.
Speaker 11 (27:36):
You know, and you know, two or three things could
be true about any any any one thing. But I
would say for me, I got really I got really
good at handling you know, failure or struggle in my
in my career and in my life in basketball. And
I would say that what I've reflected a lot during
the course of the season and the off season was
(27:59):
just how I handled the success and how I didn't
have the season as a coach in twenty five, you know,
And I think that, you know, I'll be a much
better coach in twenty six because I don't. Yeah, I
don't think I handled the success, you know, and where
we were as a program very well last season.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
How dark did the days get for you, whether it's
when you were playing, when you left.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
Playing, Yeah, you know, dark to the point where you
know you give serious consideration, you know, to doing something
to harm yourself, you know, potentially do something to uh,
you know, to end things, to take your life, just
(28:46):
feeling like you know, back then it was not there
was a stigma around around mental health and being vulnerable
and opening up especially for men, especially for men with
other men about your feelings, so with your fathers, with
your coaches back then, you know, you didn't feel like
(29:08):
there was anyone that you could talk to about how
you're feeling, your struggles or your difficulties you're suffering. And
you know, for me, it was you know, getting into therapy,
meeting sister Katherine Waters at seat in the hall, you know, really.
Speaker 14 (29:22):
Changed my life.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Are you built for this?
Speaker 14 (29:28):
For going on the show, I'm definitely built for I've
watched you.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
For coaching ten more years, Danny?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Are you built for ten more years?
Speaker 11 (29:38):
I don't know about ten I don't really you know,
I think that sometimes I'll say I'm gonna coach so
I'm sixty, or you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna coach,
you know, just my fifty ninth year. I mean, I
would like to enjoy, you know, a part of my
life where I have some vitality, some health because I
(29:59):
love my wife. I want to and I want my
wife and my family to experience life outside of basketball,
where you could travel and and be more of a civilian,
live a more normal life, have a normal Christmas holiday in.
Speaker 14 (30:15):
A new year. So I'm like, i feel like I'm
always playing.
Speaker 11 (30:18):
On New Year's or New Year's Eve, and I feel
like I was going to pit my stomach on Christmas
Eve or what have you. But then the other aspect
of it for me is like when you're in a
sports world, whether you're a player or you're a coach,
and you're making the type of money that we're making,
you know, I just feel like you have an obligation
to literally push yourself to the point of burnout for
(30:41):
the seven or eight million dollars a year that they
pay me to coach Yukon. I should work myself close
to death for that to make that type of living
to be a basketball coach. Or if you're an NBA
player or an NFL player making twenty thirty forty million
dollars a year, you should last thing you should be
thinking about as longevity. What you should be thinking about
(31:03):
it For me, for the way I look at it,
is pushing yourself to the absolute max until burnout hits
and then you obviously at that point then you could retire.
You know, I grew up the coaches like Dickford Meal,
you know, were the coaches that that I idolized.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Yeah, but you've got to have quality that has to
be balanced.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
I've got that ahead of me.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
You know.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
No, No, you need it you need.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Trust me, I did not have balance when I did
Sports Center, and it was less stressful by far than
what you're going through. And until I found some kind
of balance, I didn't enjoy it. And I don't know
if you enjoy those two championships as much as you
probably should have, you know, the highest of highs. You're
probably you know, fixated on what happened last season, and
(31:54):
you know that's you gotta have balance, man, you.
Speaker 11 (31:57):
Gotta it's you a joy, I mean, the the like
when you realize you've won the championship. There there's an uh,
there's an annihilation and an indescribable feeling of joy and love.
You know that that reaches you, like the deepest parts
(32:18):
of your soul. And this this this incredible realization of
this of climbing Mount Everest and being at the top,
it does, it dissipates so quickly. But you know, Dan,
I think with just a way that I'm wired, and
I think a lot of I think you know a
lot of the best coaches and the people like my
dad that I've modeled. It's like the season feels a
(32:41):
lot like suffering and relief, suffering and relief, suffering and
relief and then it either ends in elation or or
it ends the way.
Speaker 14 (32:51):
It ended for me in Florida versus Florida.
Speaker 11 (32:54):
And then there's the tunnel and there's the sore loser Dan.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Yeah, do you think back on that at all? What
you know? Sore loser Dan?
Speaker 14 (33:08):
I do?
Speaker 4 (33:09):
I know you address it, but you know where did
that come from? Where?
Speaker 6 (33:13):
You know?
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Well, maybe it's just the competitor in you?
Speaker 14 (33:17):
It is.
Speaker 11 (33:18):
And I think again, like, you know, I think a
couple of things could be true. I got to get
better that way, you know, like that's something that trusts
me when it's over, you know, and you know I
lack that that that that self control and and and
awareness to be able to just walk away, you know, Like, yeah,
(33:40):
I mean that's disappointing. You know, I end up, you know,
tarnishing my reputation and you know, like, you know, it's
embarrassing and it's it's not a positive thing, but it's
also too a lot of you know, my superpower that
I bring to the organization is this relentless competitive drive
(34:02):
that that my team's embody.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (34:05):
And I do think in sports you do need more
more of the characters that go I think kind of
uh life or death urgency with with winning and losing.
Speaker 14 (34:16):
I think is what makes sports great.
Speaker 11 (34:18):
So I think you you know, not having characters that
that look at games that you know, I don't look
at it like a game. I look at it like
a battle, a fight. It's not a game for me.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Your voice sounds like it's in mid season form?
Speaker 14 (34:36):
Does it?
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Does it ever sound good?
Speaker 11 (34:40):
I mean, yesterday it was day one and uh, you know,
and and I'm ready to go. And this is winter Dan.
I think summer Dan, you know, is late, a little
more laid back. Uh, you know, but this is the
time of year where we all turn it up. I'm
excited about this team. I think that this team, you know,
(35:02):
you don't go into the year like last year. I
think you have enough time with your team in the
summer and in the preseason where I think going into
last year there was a feeling amongst the staff that
maybe we didn't have enough relative to what we put
together to be able to.
Speaker 14 (35:20):
Go for the three p That will not be this
team story.
Speaker 11 (35:24):
This team has enough if we give absolutely everything and
if our pursuit is honorable, if it's an honorable pursuit
of championships. With the way that we approach things, this
team will have a chance to compete for all the championships.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
I hope the book is cathartic for you because you're
visiting a lot of different places. Hopefully you don't have
to revisit them anymore. But you know, when you write
a memoir, you've got to dig deep down, and you
certainly did in this book with the help of Ian.
Speaker 11 (35:58):
Yeah, I think Dan for me when I when I
read it, you know, I always walked away from it saying,
you know, like you know, your your life is kind
of it's it's a little bit like a movie, you know,
like you're you know, you've got this kind of a
little bit not that I'm a hero, but you got
this kind of a little bit of a hero's journey,
(36:19):
and it's got all the elements.
Speaker 14 (36:21):
Of of you know, you.
Speaker 11 (36:23):
Know, your struggles becoming you know, your strength and the
end and just it's a real human story of like
you know, personal struggle, family struggle, career struggle.
Speaker 14 (36:36):
You know, you've got this.
Speaker 11 (36:36):
Coach, you know, with dragon underwear laying under his desk
before games because.
Speaker 14 (36:42):
Of his anxiety. You know, I don't know who would
play me.
Speaker 11 (36:46):
I guess I've been told like maybe a Billie Bob
Thornton because of the cursing, but I don't know who
would play me.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
We can work on that.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Hopefully it's a happy ending when that movie comes out,
a happy ending.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Great to talk to you again, Thanks, thanks for sharing.
Speaker 14 (37:05):
Thanks Bro.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
That's Dan Hurley.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
The book is called Never Stop Life Leadership and What
it Takes to Be Great, and he co wrote it
with Ian O'Connor, who's had a couple of New York
Times best sellers. It's available online September thirtieth, and once
again if you're on campus at Yukon, that'll be next
Wednesday and you can get more details with this. He
(37:28):
will be at the Jorgensen Center for Performing Arts and
tickets are general admission. Well take a break, Last call

Speaker 4 (37:52):
What we learn? What's in store tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
When people talk about what's a good interview, A good
interview is somebody who's willing to be interviewed, and Dan
Hurley is willing to be interviewed. He's willing to be
have a conversation with and talk about topics that might
be uncomfortable, but you know now that they're in a book,
and I appreciate his openness.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
All right.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I have a friend who said that I take my
blood pressure reading every morning. Thirty minutes ago, I was
at one thirty five over seventy five. I took it
again after listening to Todd's idiotic take, and now I'm
at one eighty over ninety five.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
That's not a healthy number.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
You are putting people in danger. Paulie reached out to
somebody during the Dan Hurley interview.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
Yeah, we found an expert, Professor Wesley Marshall, PhD and
Civil Engineering at UC Denver. He is an expert and
written in detail and road safety. I explained the entire situation.
Professor Marshall actually listened to the segment and he said, quote,
tell Fritzy to move over. He's putting others in danger,
and by odds, he's putting himself in great danger by
(39:02):
doing this.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
Okay, it's an expert, but I don't know allegedly, John,
but it's.
Speaker 6 (39:08):
So dangerous to go for make the move from the
left lane to the middle lane. That means if once
you're in the left lane, you're.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
A staff alone, you know more than the expert. I'm
saying that.
Speaker 6 (39:15):
If you have to stay in the left lane, I
guess until your ride is over somehow forever until you
get there.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Stephen in Utah, Hi Stephen, Thanks Chaz Patrick?
Speaker 4 (39:24):
How are you today? Good? What do you have for me?
Speaker 8 (39:27):
I have a long time first time I'm gonna say
six seven, two thirty five with my kevlar oh twenty
five year uhp in Utah And Fritzy is one hundred
percent in violation of code if he wants it because
he is kind of that way forty one dash six.
The left lane on an interstate highway is designated as
(39:49):
a passing lane, whether it's two lanes or three lanes,
that lane is only to be used to pass, And
if you are driving in the left lane, you can
and will be pulled over over if the cop is
so inclined to get a ticket. I don't usually do
it because I don't usually pull people over for going
three miles over the speed limit. But if he has
someone behind him and he's not merging, I will gladly
(40:12):
pull him over and give him a ticket one hundred
percent of the time.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
But Steven, if the person, let's say Todd, is going
ten miles over the speed limit and the guy behind
him is going to be going faster, how do you
adjudicate that.
Speaker 8 (40:28):
I would, Well, when the guy's behind him, he would
be doing ten. Otherwise he'd be hitting him. I would
pull him over and give him a ticket and let the.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Guy behind him go on his merry way.
Speaker 8 (40:38):
And by the way, there's one listener that ows not
getting a ticket today to Fritzy because I'm sitting out
here gunning people and I let someone go because I
was waiting to talk to Damp.
Speaker 16 (40:48):
So there's one.
Speaker 8 (40:51):
A ticket to.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
The VP show.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
That's a quick question.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
No, we don't have time.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
I don't know what the camping speed is. What is
the speed?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
I don't have time time. You've had forty five minutes
on the Thank you officer. Now you want to ask.
Speaker 4 (41:06):
Got somebody out of a ticket? Though? Yeah, I know
somebody got lucky Todd.
Speaker 6 (41:09):
Did you learn anything that did regardless now past you
may be driving the left lane. If someone's riding your buppets,
impartive to get out of their way and yield to
their reckless behavior and excessive s.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
You did not learn anything today, Seaton. I think my
ride home today might be more interesting.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
Marvin McFarlane, golf Analysts, UH paul is not changing business
fluctuations make running your manufacturing business complex. By staffing your business,
it doesn't have to be difficult. Let express employment professionals
do all the work for you. Go to expresspros dot
com to find the location nearest you.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
I'm tired. I need a nap uh.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
For Fritz Seaton Marv PAULI yours truly in the back room. Guys,
we'll talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
Drive safely,
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I love audience participation, audience engagement, but this fight would
be over. Todd is gonna die on this hill if
he's gonna stay in the left lane. He's not moving over,
even though it's called the passing lane, and social media
is not being kind to Todd.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Start losing followers. I'm gonna be like non existed in
the world. What am I gonna do? I gotta get
more likes. I'm gonna change my opinion.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
You're only gonna lose five. You know that's all my brand.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Topic to my brand.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Okay, why can't you admit, all right, maybe I need
to change my driving style.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'll give it some thought. I just did. I'm gonna
stay in the left lay to let them go out.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Yes, Paul Todd does not believe that it's more dangerous
when a fast car passes on the right on a
three lane highway and goes into the middle lane.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It's a problem right there.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
A fast car, if you're going at normal speech, should
be that dangerous.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
To move around.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
I wish a policeman or someone who knows about your
traffic rules would call and explain this shit.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I don't even think we need a police officer to
call in. I think it's just common sense. Let's just
get out of the passing lane.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Let's move over.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
I like to go one hundred, too bad, Get out
of my will now, it's one hundred. If I'm going
seventy five and they're on my tail, to me, they're
going at.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Least eighty five.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, see that's too fast.
Speaker 7 (01:22):
It's one. Someone just said on social media, fire him immediately.
That seemed a little harsh my livelihood. I had a
friend too that just said I actually hate him.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
For this, so passionate, God bless him and pass good
or bed if even if that not taking myself with
the passion, that's what we like.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Like. This has made me dislike Fritzi forever. He's the
worst type of driver out there. There is little I
love more than when Fritzie argues for himself when he's
clearly wrong.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I just blocked him on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Todd stop impeding traffic. Exclamation point Todd is incorrect. Uh,
just like the sign John Elway's dad and Vince Lombardi
had on their desk, lead follow or get the f
out of the way.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
How am I going to be a social media influencer?
Now what's going to become of me?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I don't think you ever were.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So that's like, how will I ever become one?
Speaker 7 (02:20):
This is a funny turn to take. It's like this
weird influencer defense. Now, yeah, I don't know just or
or he could just move from the left lane to
the middle lane.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
How about or that? Yeah, when it comes to discussing something,
can you just pick a lane? Todd Like, pick a
lane that's where they need to go. You've been all
over the highway here, all over the highway? How fast
somebody's going? Next thing? You know, you're racing through plowing
through a CBS. There's a grandma going thirty miles an
(02:50):
hour now with social media?
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Like, how was going seventy five left lane? Blocking the
person behind me? How am I inconvenicing them? How is
why is that such a horrible thing? I'm going faster
than I'm supposed to be going already, by like double digits.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I could get a ticket for that.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Should you be going ten miles over the speed limit
to begin But.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Now I'm forced to go even faster because it's probably
your crash into my bucket.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And now I got to go to Todd. You can
get in the right lane and he can go to
the middle lane from the left lane too. Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
See That's the thing that I can't put my finger
on just yet. Is why if Todd is upset that
that person is in such a rush that they you know,
they want to get by him, then just go around
me or whatever. But why is Todd's Todd is so
important that he gets to stay in that lane, but
that other person is less important than Todd. Whatever they
(03:40):
have going on can't be as important as whatever Todd
has going on because he gets to stay in that
one lane.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
I don't understand that part of it.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
I don't look at as an important thing. It's more
of it. If anything, it's a stubborn thing. It's like
I'm already going plenty fast and maybe I shouldn't be
arbitrary deciding what's fast.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I understand that argument, But.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I'm already going what I would consider very fast in
the left lane and it's still not fasten up for
this person behind me.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Are you not trying to hold anybody up? Or like
I'm better than you to be?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Haha, I'm making your You're stuck behind me because there's
no way for you to get around me.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
For the next several months of you literally stuck, there's
nothing you do.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
There's this psychology attached to this with you, there really is.
You don't want to be told. Just like whenever we
bring up something and we can be one hundred percent right,
you'll never go you know what, you're right, You'll you'll
change the argument.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I'll say I appreciate your point.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'll go that fine, I know, but you never stay
on the topic. You move it. Now all of a sudden,
we're talking about other things.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
It's take for me to change my opinion. And then
I will throw things that have nothing to do with
the argument. I know that'll somehow get through.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I know, and then I always bring it back to
what the argument.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But again it doesn't.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
I'm not it's not meant to be an arrogant thing.
And if it's preceding.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
It is it is. You don't want to be told
what to do.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
This person's trying to tell me what to do. He's
trying to make me go even faster. So I'm been
he's telling me what to do.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
By driving, somebody's not driving safely. I'm going to move
out of the way and let them do what they.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
How is that person not telling me what to do?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
If he's on my bum he or she's on my bumper,
that's they're telling me you better go faster or get
out of my way.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
So they're telling me what to do.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Do you want to fight or be safe?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I would like to be saved.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Okay, then move over.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
But I think both people are in the right or
wrong in that situation. Yeah, they can go faster than
ever to keep up with the sweet that this person
wants me to go, or they can just go around
me for something, risk everyone's lives going to the middle lane.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
We just got our first muck headline assing Lane.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Yes, Marvin and Fritzie, you want headlines against me like Lane.
Speaker 9 (05:37):
And Fritzie wants people to explain why they're going so fast,
like oh, if somebody's having a baby, or if you
know there's an ambulance, they have to explain who in
the rudy blue hell or you that they need to
explain why they're going so fast, and you're in the
It's called the passing lane for a reason.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
It's not the dragstrip lane.
Speaker 10 (05:57):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I just I just I don't know. I just I
find it.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
You know, this person is also trying to dictate how
fast I go by almost crash it by riding my bumper. God, well,
how is that person absolved from everything? How do you
not just fold your tent?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I can't because I'm I'm not.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
If I was going forty to fifty whatever, then I
could see, like, what are you holding everybody up? This
is the lane where everyone goes faster than the middle
in and right lane. I'm going beyond the speed limit
and still not good enough. This person's on my tail
like I'm holding everybody up? So how that person's being
the arrogant.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
A hour of the program, we'll talk to Dan Hurley.
He will join us.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Got a memoir, fire him, walk them, throw them to
the wolves for crying out out.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Just move over, it's all. Just move over. It's okay.
You can get back in the left lane if you want.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I want them to move over so I can see
what this idiot looks like. That's in a big hurry.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Well, if you move over to the right, then you
can see them as they go by it here.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
But I want to get that win.
Speaker 11 (06:57):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
The game of a Chick and I you how to move.
You thought I was gonna move, but you change.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Sunday night, it'll be Micah Parsons going back to Dallas
to face the Cowboys. Packers Cowboys a rivalry renewed Sunday
seven Eastern on NBC and Peacock Dante and San Diego.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Hi Dante.
Speaker 12 (07:16):
They call me Padre Dante H five five nine a
California Brito one seventy two. Hey, just wanna circle back
to the base or role Fritty.
Speaker 13 (07:30):
I'm gonna get to you.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Hey.
Speaker 13 (07:32):
Uh for the playoffs, I've always thought about this, Why
don't they turn off the pitch clock to start the
seventh inning? Because we love the excitement, the anticipation between
a pitcher and a batter when it's the post Lina game,
the crowds gaining wild. So that's just my proposal, Like
to hear what you think, Dan Fritty, Mama Mia, you
are the problem. Just get over you, blockhead. You're probably
(07:56):
the guy that still have the ism sort that's still
request to try the play favor of Vanilla.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
So me and this person behind me, we're absolved from
any kind of speeding ticket, I would think, because it's
all about you know, the safety and the passing lane
of it. So if I'm going eighty and the person
behind me is going ninety, the police would just wink
at that.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
They can't go ninety behind you if you're going eighty, Todd,
they can't.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
If football going over the speed limit.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
I would think based in this scenario, like neither one
of us is doing anything wrong. This person is just
trying to get past me, and I'm camping in the lane,
So like, you know, just just let them go. One's
going eighty, one's going ninety, and that's the way it goes.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Or you could just move on and go about your
day and drive exactly as fast as you want.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Someone said the same thing that that seems that explicitly
prohibits left lane camping and requires drivers to use the
left lane only for passing, preparing for a left lane
exitor when necessary due to obstructions or traffic congestion. The
goal is to reduce crashes, yes, and improve traffic.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
That's what we've been saying for twenty minutes. Reduce crashes
and improve traffic.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
So why is there a speed limit?
Speaker 14 (08:55):
Then?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
If it's all about like why limit? Hey, how fast
as you want? Would you move to Germany and you
got the auto. We're all basically saying, go as fast
as you want in the left lane. That's that's what
the left plane is for. Go one hundred, go to
one hundred and fifty, go as fast.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
As you This is this is where you sound real.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
If I'm going one hundred and thirty behind me once
to go one hundred and fifty, I'm supposed to get
out of there.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Line now it's one hundred and fifty, whatever, it's above
the speeding It doesn't matter what the number is. It
could be sixty six, it could be one hundred and two.
We're breaking the law. We're both speeding.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yeah, point in our state. It's different in all states.
But it's actually illegal to pass in the right lane
or on the right and you'd be charge at reckless driving.
So Todd's forcing a situation. Todd won't admit that there's
an etiquette during driving that we all somewhat you know,
subscribe to, and by doing this, he's messing up the
etiquette for everyone else and putting others in danger. While
(09:49):
knowing this, he told us in the break, he's not
changing how he drives.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
I would ask the congressman that would refer to the congressman,
what is the camping speed?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
And can you go pretty much as fast as you
want in the left lane?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Do you do you realize you're putting people in danger?
Speaker 6 (10:02):
That's not the intention, But it doesn't feel like it's
not like the person behind me is putting a danger.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I'm asking you, do you realize you're putting.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I guess I don't realize. I know that this person
behind me is about to cause an.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
APIs Are you putting people in danger camping in the
left light?
Speaker 15 (10:18):
Yes?
Speaker 16 (10:18):
Or no?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
I don't feel like I want to say no. I
don't feel like I'm putting anybody in danger. And I
want to know what camping means. That's a very convenient,
vague term that leagues get away with their rules, and
so does I guess the Department of Transportation camping?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
What that camp is?
Speaker 17 (10:33):
That?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
What is the camping?
Speaker 7 (10:35):
Like?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Like I parked and I set up a tent trying
to get duke tickets that's on come. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Once again, let's change you move the goal line. Gold
post camping.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
Makes it sound like you just you know you're gonna
make some take out your marshmallows out and you just
gotta pulled over and blocking.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Everything again, we gotta change terrible terms.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Camping. Left ling camping, what a ridiculous phrase.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
You're gonna lead me to an early grave.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I'm not trying to aggravate everybody.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Know what your main character syndrome is off the charts.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Guy behind me is an extra.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Once again, when you show up at my way, can
you run into my wife? I want you to say,
I'm sorry I did this. Okay, you gotta.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Be running into left lane. Are you gonna have like
lane setups so you can get the point across?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Okay? So now I don't want to be camping My
death is funny.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I don't want to be camping out during the service.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Other people trying to get to their seats and pay respect,
and there I'm camping out, not running fast enough to
my seat.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I'd be terrible to do that.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
You can't run, I can't.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I have to plant the fashions.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Once again, you're gonna make fun of me dying.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
So someone needs to call in, like Paulie said, and
set the straight. And I urged them to explain what
left lane camping means, what.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
That's Paulie, would you just find something, you find.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
An expert who knows more of that?
Speaker 6 (11:54):
And is it safe to ride someone's bumper in the
left lane because they're not going that many miles past.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
The sah' is the pole question for the final hour
over the program scene as I'll just rip up everything.
It's I mean, I feel bad for Dan Hurley coming
on to talk about his memoir.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
You know, I gotta tell you, that's a guy. I
want to know exactly what his driving habits are. If
there was ever road rage personified, I feel like it
might be. Coach, how do you feel about somebody who
won't move over? Is that my first question?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Coach, how do you feel about somebody camping in the
left lane on the highway.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
He's got he's got the Jersey part of it, He's
got Connecticut. He's that's a fellow who understands frustrated.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
The driving Aaron and Fort Wayne Hiern Hey, Dan, thanks
for taking my call.
Speaker 18 (12:44):
My grandpa drove like this and uh all the way
from Fort Wayne to New Simberna Beach. You know you're
talking about the subtle middle finger you get a lot
of really aggressive middle fingers when you're going seventy two
in the left lane all the way to New Summerna Beach.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah, Todd's not changing. George and Arizona.
Speaker 16 (13:03):
Hi George, Hi Dan, Dan, that's good morning. I think
what Todd also fails to realize if he not only
puts people in das he want right, he wants himself
a great risk of serious injury or death because allans,
I've been rear ended by a person driving mattey miles
(13:25):
an hour in the left lane that could force him
into the middle barrier. There's nothing much to his car.
I've seen that happen there. I was on too many times.
He's really really retinct. That's best position with his riding
with his family. Walk with your family at risk of that?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
All right, thank you, George. Have we exhausted this topic?
Speaker 14 (13:45):
We good?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I think we're just scratching the off.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
No we're not. No, No, we're not.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
I feel like we really have to get coaches thoughts on.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
All right, I will, I will.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
I see, I see why we may have exhausted.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
My problem, I guess is one of them of many
is I never realized how danger it is to go
from the left lane to the middle end.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
But now that you do, are you changing?
Speaker 6 (14:05):
No, because I don't believe that that is such a
crazy dangerous move to go around me, because I'm not
going as fast as you'd like me to go.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
That that can't be that horribly complicated.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
And dangerous of a move to go from the left
lane to the middle land. Then was just stuck in
the left lane forever until there's a left exit to
get up.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I just gotta stuck there, like you're on.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
A good morning.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
If you're watching on Peacock, I apologize, or you're listening
on our radio affiliates around the country, I apologize as well.
The tweets are coming in fast and free and uh.
For the most part, Todd's doesn't have any friends. Although
here's somebody that Todd just sent me. Yeah, of course,
(14:41):
I said, funny you. Yeah, I'm totally with Fritzy one
with him the ass tailgating ask him to go around
one hundred bucks. Say they drive a truck going ten
miles over the speed limit x campaign.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Oh the pickup truck, very busy getting the logs and
I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Get if I'm already going above the speed limit, and
you want to go even faster than go around me.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
These unwritten rules or lame so.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
Sor was the example. Todd just gave a logging truck
tailghitting him.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
He just said, oh, yes, a truck. I have to
get these logs in truck.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
I think of logging log So it's a logging truck
that's going an hour in Connecticut of all places, and
you're small.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
In the bottom half of your body, and I got
to get the pickup truck.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Got a compensation compensation somewhere?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
What size of logs are you going to put in
a pickup truck?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
You're talking about macho.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Logging, gotta go really fast in the left lane all
he drives a truck.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I'm not naming names.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
I'm just saying that. Also a huge logger. Yeah, everybody
knows that. No, No, it's a logger drinking. I got
logger in the back here. Pickup truck, yeah, blogging, what
are we?
Speaker 7 (15:59):
I would concur the pickup truck guy is the most
uh terrifying driver currently.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
That's why I.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Move over the motorcycle tattoo guy with a big lady
friend with the tattoos on the back seat.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Motorcycle guy, let's go meet up and hang out and
get some bs.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Paul or the guys with the fast and the furious
cars like the Honda Civic with the twelve dollars muffler.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
All right, let's take a break here.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
It's exhausted.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Let's rally. All right, what a world?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
No boy?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Shout out to public transportation.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Hey, let the bus drives in the county, deal with it.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I'm a light rail people, shout got a light rail person?
Speaker 7 (16:43):
All right, Yeah, we're gonna take a break here, empt
a yeah on the subway.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Youn't got to worry about the left wing.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Take a break here, take a break. We're back after
this Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
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 app.
Speaker 17 (17:04):
Hey, we're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get to.
Speaker 19 (17:13):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, you blubber list name in me.
Speaker 17 (17:27):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 19 (17:31):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 17 (17:45):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also uncensored by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 19 (17:55):
There you go, over promising, and remember you could see
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Cadino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
We'll talk to Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
It's head basketball coach Dan Hurley is new memoir Never
Stop Life Leadership and what it takes to be great
and we'll talk to him. Coming up momentarily, Scott in California.
Good morning, Scott, what's on your mind?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
How you doing?
Speaker 15 (18:23):
Good morning, Dan, Dan ed pleasure talking to you guys,
First time caller, longtime listener, coming in six three five.
I'm one thousand percent back of Frity in this argument.
This is one of those tell me you've never driven
in California without telling me you've never driven in California.
If you're already doing ten miles over the speed limit
and somebody's in such a hurry, then they can race
(18:45):
around me. I don't care by your time. It's way
more dangerous to be speeding fifteen twenty miles an hour
over the speed limit and pass somebody. Plus, we call
those people paysetters. The cops are going to catch them
before they catch us, and that's better them than us
when they get pulled over.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
For all right, Scott, you and Fritzy in the same
lane there.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That was two hundred and twelve to three.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Dan Hurley, he's got a new memoir, Never Stop Life,
Leadership and What it Takes to be Great.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Before we get to the book.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Do you want to weigh on the on this topic
of driving in the fast lank What kind of driver
are you?
Speaker 11 (19:23):
I mean, it would probably you know, surprise people. But
I'm actually a pretty calm driver. You know, my wife
drives like a Jersey person. You know, I listen, I'm
you should not be driving, you know, five or ten
miles per hour below the speed limit in the left lane,
like left left furthest lane.
Speaker 14 (19:45):
Slow drivers, I you know, they're very frustrating.
Speaker 11 (19:52):
I would say my biggest frustration is like when you're
getting off an exit and there's a backup, when you're
getting off on an exit and.
Speaker 14 (19:59):
People you.
Speaker 11 (20:01):
Know, where you've waited in traffic to get off an
exit and people drive, you know, drive past that congestion
and then cross over at the last second and don't
sit and wait the ten minutes to get off the exit.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Have you been flipped off a lot?
Speaker 14 (20:20):
Yeah? Yeah, a lot I'm more of But I'm not
a flip off person.
Speaker 11 (20:25):
Well, I think it aggravates people more when you kind
of when you give them a thumbs up, like, hey,
great job, you're good.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Like all right, so you're writing a memoir here and
by the way, next Wednesday, October first, you can celebrate
the publication of the new book. It'll be on campus
the Jorgensen Center for Performing Arts. Forty dollars for adults,
(20:52):
thirty five for Yukon students. All tickets general admission. What
was the biggest challenge of being vulnerable in this book?
Speaker 11 (21:02):
Yeah, I would say, you know, for you know, for me, Dan,
it was probably like reliving, like reliving some of the
tougher parts of your life. You know, you end up
reading the manuscript, you know, eight or nine times, and
you make some subtle changes or some bigger changes with
(21:24):
wording or what have you. But when you're reading those
tough parts of your life, whether it's uh, you know,
just my experience as a player in college, dealing with
you know, some severe you know, mental health issues, serious depression,
you know, the tough parts of your career and your
(21:44):
family life, like being you know, being a young husband
and a young father and dealing with uh, you know,
career adversity and financial struggles. I think, like, you know,
when you're when you're working on the project and you're
like reading those tough parts about your life and re
reading them and rereading them and rereading them, you know,
(22:04):
it became a little bit uncomfortable. It was almost like
I was re experiencing that.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Again, your brother's one of the great point guards in
college basketball history, but you felt the brunt of that.
It felt like because you weren't Bobby Hurley. How do
you address that that stress level being mocked and you
know how that factored in with depression.
Speaker 14 (22:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (22:30):
I think for me, you know that this book was
you know, an opportunity, you know, to to reach people
that you know suffer. You know, for me, you know,
I've had an unhealthy relationship you know, with perfectionism. A
lot of you know, I'm obviously I'm filled with insecurity,
(22:53):
which is at times really a positive thing you know,
to keep you striving, but at times like fear of failure. Insecurity, Uh,
an unhealthy relationship with perfectionism. And I think the thing
that costed me the most suffering, you know, really throughout
my life, my playing career and then when I became
(23:14):
a coach, was.
Speaker 14 (23:15):
You know, the comparison trap.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
You know that that that comparison you know, game that
you play with yourself, you know, relative to others, is
something that uh, you know became tortures for me as
a player, you know, with with my brother, and then
as a young coach, you know, with with with my dad.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Are you satisfied? Can you be satisfied?
Speaker 11 (23:39):
Now?
Speaker 14 (23:41):
Never? Uh?
Speaker 12 (23:42):
You know.
Speaker 11 (23:45):
I don't think so, not not the way I'm wired.
I think, you know, for you know, for me, it's uh,
it's embedded. You know, the standard, the drive, you know,
just the you know, the household you grow up in
and you know, your your own competitive fire. You know
that's a byproduct of where you grew up, how you
(24:08):
were raised, Uh, the mentality you've developed, the place that
you coach at, Like when you choose to coach at
a place like Yukon uh and coach the basketball team here,
you know, there's a constant pressure to uh, you know,
to deliver you know, externally.
Speaker 14 (24:24):
But you know when that internal drive, uh, you know.
Speaker 11 (24:29):
Begins when when I start accepting losing or when I'm
not devastated by a season like last year, that then
you know it'll be time for me to get out.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
How close did you come to leaving college basketball recently?
Speaker 11 (24:44):
I would say for two or three days, like I was,
you know, I had pretty extensive conversations you know with
my guy Jordan Bizant, you know, over at Vox for
a couple of days. And yeah, I mean it was
it was It was like the perfect storm of things,
(25:04):
you know, the the sport itself, not not having any
idea what the rules of your game are going to be,
you know, relative to you know, we're here in rumors
that there's going to be potentially a fifty year for players.
You know, so you've got you know, nil where you
have no idea what the market is right now you
have this the player is going to now be getting
(25:26):
five years, you know, potentially five years to play five
you know, there's been no restrictions relative to the portal.
Speaker 14 (25:33):
It's still free agency at the end of every year.
Speaker 11 (25:36):
And then you put on top of that, for me,
you know, you go back to back, those seasons are longer,
so there's a little bit of a you know, success fatigue,
you know, the Lakers things happens, so your ego is
at an all time high. Then you have a horrible season,
and then you take the criticism throughout the year that
you know, and and and a lot of times it's
(25:58):
it's justified.
Speaker 14 (25:59):
And and so it's like the perfect storm with stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
You Stan Hurley the book is never Stop, like leadership
and what it takes to be great and he co
wrote this with great writer Io O'Connor.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Do you have imposter syndrome?
Speaker 11 (26:19):
Yeah, I mean imposter syndrome insecurity? Absolutely, insecurity. You know,
there's definitely a feeling that's been pretty embedded in me,
you know, that that I'm never quite good enough.
Speaker 14 (26:33):
But it's not just relative to basketball.
Speaker 11 (26:36):
You know, I also feel that way, you know, as
as a husband, as a father, in other aspects of
my life. You know, I just have this, you know,
mindset where I feel like like I can always I
can always do more, I can always be better.
Speaker 14 (26:52):
And one of the first things that coach Calhoun told
me when I got.
Speaker 11 (26:55):
The job here, you know, besides get your ass and gear,
uh get this program fixed, was like, you know, the
best coaches have a have a have a level of
insecurity about them. That's a that's a real driver to
continue to get better and and always be prepared.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
What's the difference between coaching intent or coaching angry?
Speaker 11 (27:22):
Well, I think I coached intents and in twenty twenty
four and I coached angry.
Speaker 14 (27:29):
You know, like it's for me. I think in my
life I've done probably.
Speaker 11 (27:36):
You know, and you know, two or three things could
be true about any any any one thing. But I
would say for me, I got really I got really
good at handling you know, failure or struggle in my
in my career and in my life in basketball. And
I would say that what I've reflected a lot during
the course of the season and the off season was
(27:59):
just how I handled the success and how I didn't
have the season as a coach in twenty five, you know,
And I think that, you know, I'll be a much
better coach in twenty six because I don't. Yeah, I
don't think I handled the success, you know, and where
we were as a program very well last season.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
How dark did the days get for you, whether it's
when you were playing, when you left.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
Playing, Yeah, you know, dark to the point where you
know you give serious consideration, you know, to doing something
to harm yourself, you know, potentially do something to uh,
you know, to end things, to take your life, just
(28:46):
feeling like you know, back then it was not there
was a stigma around around mental health and being vulnerable
and opening up especially for men, especially for men with
other men about your feelings, so with your fathers, with
your coaches back then, you know, you didn't feel like
(29:08):
there was anyone that you could talk to about how
you're feeling, your struggles or your difficulties you're suffering. And
you know, for me, it was you know, getting into therapy,
meeting sister Katherine Waters at seat in the hall, you know, really.
Speaker 14 (29:22):
Changed my life.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Are you built for this?
Speaker 14 (29:28):
For going on the show, I'm definitely built for I've
watched you.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
For coaching ten more years, Danny?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Are you built for ten more years?
Speaker 11 (29:38):
I don't know about ten I don't really you know,
I think that sometimes I'll say I'm gonna coach so
I'm sixty, or you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna coach,
you know, just my fifty ninth year. I mean, I
would like to enjoy, you know, a part of my
life where I have some vitality, some health because I
(29:59):
love my wife. I want to and I want my
wife and my family to experience life outside of basketball,
where you could travel and and be more of a civilian,
live a more normal life, have a normal Christmas holiday in.
Speaker 14 (30:15):
A new year. So I'm like, i feel like I'm
always playing.
Speaker 11 (30:18):
On New Year's or New Year's Eve, and I feel
like I was going to pit my stomach on Christmas
Eve or what have you. But then the other aspect
of it for me is like when you're in a
sports world, whether you're a player or you're a coach,
and you're making the type of money that we're making,
you know, I just feel like you have an obligation
to literally push yourself to the point of burnout for
(30:41):
the seven or eight million dollars a year that they
pay me to coach Yukon. I should work myself close
to death for that to make that type of living
to be a basketball coach. Or if you're an NBA
player or an NFL player making twenty thirty forty million
dollars a year, you should last thing you should be
thinking about as longevity. What you should be thinking about
(31:03):
it For me, for the way I look at it,
is pushing yourself to the absolute max until burnout hits
and then you obviously at that point then you could retire.
You know, I grew up the coaches like Dickford Meal,
you know, were the coaches that that I idolized.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Yeah, but you've got to have quality that has to
be balanced.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
I've got that ahead of me.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
You know.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
No, No, you need it you need.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Trust me, I did not have balance when I did
Sports Center, and it was less stressful by far than
what you're going through. And until I found some kind
of balance, I didn't enjoy it. And I don't know
if you enjoy those two championships as much as you
probably should have, you know, the highest of highs. You're
probably you know, fixated on what happened last season, and
(31:54):
you know that's you gotta have balance, man, you.
Speaker 11 (31:57):
Gotta it's you a joy, I mean, the the like
when you realize you've won the championship. There there's an uh,
there's an annihilation and an indescribable feeling of joy and love.
You know that that reaches you, like the deepest parts
(32:18):
of your soul. And this this this incredible realization of
this of climbing Mount Everest and being at the top,
it does, it dissipates so quickly. But you know, Dan,
I think with just a way that I'm wired, and
I think a lot of I think you know a
lot of the best coaches and the people like my
dad that I've modeled. It's like the season feels a
(32:41):
lot like suffering and relief, suffering and relief, suffering and
relief and then it either ends in elation or or
it ends the way.
Speaker 14 (32:51):
It ended for me in Florida versus Florida.
Speaker 11 (32:54):
And then there's the tunnel and there's the sore loser Dan.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Yeah, do you think back on that at all? What
you know? Sore loser Dan?
Speaker 14 (33:08):
I do?
Speaker 4 (33:09):
I know you address it, but you know where did
that come from? Where?
Speaker 6 (33:13):
You know?
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Well, maybe it's just the competitor in you?
Speaker 14 (33:17):
It is.
Speaker 11 (33:18):
And I think again, like, you know, I think a
couple of things could be true. I got to get
better that way, you know, like that's something that trusts
me when it's over, you know, and you know I
lack that that that that self control and and and
awareness to be able to just walk away, you know, Like, yeah,
(33:40):
I mean that's disappointing. You know, I end up, you know,
tarnishing my reputation and you know, like, you know, it's
embarrassing and it's it's not a positive thing, but it's
also too a lot of you know, my superpower that
I bring to the organization is this relentless competitive drive
(34:02):
that that my team's embody.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (34:05):
And I do think in sports you do need more
more of the characters that go I think kind of
uh life or death urgency with with winning and losing.
Speaker 14 (34:16):
I think is what makes sports great.
Speaker 11 (34:18):
So I think you you know, not having characters that
that look at games that you know, I don't look
at it like a game. I look at it like
a battle, a fight. It's not a game for me.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Your voice sounds like it's in mid season form?
Speaker 14 (34:36):
Does it?
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Does it ever sound good?
Speaker 11 (34:40):
I mean, yesterday it was day one and uh, you know,
and and I'm ready to go. And this is winter Dan.
I think summer Dan, you know, is late, a little
more laid back. Uh, you know, but this is the
time of year where we all turn it up. I'm
excited about this team. I think that this team, you know,
(35:02):
you don't go into the year like last year. I
think you have enough time with your team in the
summer and in the preseason where I think going into
last year there was a feeling amongst the staff that
maybe we didn't have enough relative to what we put
together to be able to.
Speaker 14 (35:20):
Go for the three p That will not be this
team story.
Speaker 11 (35:24):
This team has enough if we give absolutely everything and
if our pursuit is honorable, if it's an honorable pursuit
of championships. With the way that we approach things, this
team will have a chance to compete for all the championships.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
I hope the book is cathartic for you because you're
visiting a lot of different places. Hopefully you don't have
to revisit them anymore. But you know, when you write
a memoir, you've got to dig deep down, and you
certainly did in this book with the help of Ian.
Speaker 11 (35:58):
Yeah, I think Dan for me when I when I
read it, you know, I always walked away from it saying,
you know, like you know, your your life is kind
of it's it's a little bit like a movie, you know,
like you're you know, you've got this kind of a
little bit not that I'm a hero, but you got
this kind of a little bit of a hero's journey,
(36:19):
and it's got all the elements.
Speaker 14 (36:21):
Of of you know, you.
Speaker 11 (36:23):
Know, your struggles becoming you know, your strength and the
end and just it's a real human story of like
you know, personal struggle, family struggle, career struggle.
Speaker 14 (36:36):
You know, you've got this.
Speaker 11 (36:36):
Coach, you know, with dragon underwear laying under his desk
before games because.
Speaker 14 (36:42):
Of his anxiety. You know, I don't know who would
play me.
Speaker 11 (36:46):
I guess I've been told like maybe a Billie Bob
Thornton because of the cursing, but I don't know who
would play me.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
We can work on that.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Hopefully it's a happy ending when that movie comes out,
a happy ending.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Great to talk to you again, Thanks, thanks for sharing.
Speaker 14 (37:05):
Thanks Bro.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
That's Dan Hurley.

Times best sellers. It's available online September thirtieth, and once
again if you're on campus at Yukon, that'll be next
Wednesday and you can get more details with this. He

What we learn? What's in store tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
When people talk about what's a good interview, A good
interview is somebody who's willing to be interviewed, and Dan
Hurley is willing to be interviewed. He's willing to be
have a conversation with and talk about topics that might
be uncomfortable, but you know now that they're in a book,
and I appreciate his openness.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
All right.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I have a friend who said that I take my
blood pressure reading every morning. Thirty minutes ago, I was
at one thirty five over seventy five. I took it
again after listening to Todd's idiotic take, and now I'm
at one eighty over ninety five.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
That's not a healthy number.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
You are putting people in danger. Paulie reached out to
somebody during the Dan Hurley interview.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
Yeah, we found an expert, Professor Wesley Marshall, PhD and
Civil Engineering at UC Denver. He is an expert and
written in detail and road safety. I explained the entire situation.
Professor Marshall actually listened to the segment and he said, quote,
tell Fritzy to move over. He's putting others in danger,
and by odds, he's putting himself in great danger by
(39:02):
doing this.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
Okay, it's an expert, but I don't know allegedly, John,
but it's.
Speaker 6 (39:08):
So dangerous to go for make the move from the
left lane to the middle lane. That means if once
you're in the left lane, you're.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
A staff alone, you know more than the expert. I'm
saying that.
Speaker 6 (39:15):
If you have to stay in the left lane, I
guess until your ride is over somehow forever until you
get there.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Stephen in Utah, Hi Stephen, Thanks Chaz Patrick?
Speaker 4 (39:24):
How are you today? Good? What do you have for me?
Speaker 8 (39:27):
I have a long time first time I'm gonna say
six seven, two thirty five with my kevlar oh twenty
five year uhp in Utah And Fritzy is one hundred
percent in violation of code if he wants it because
he is kind of that way forty one dash six.
The left lane on an interstate highway is designated as
(39:49):
a passing lane, whether it's two lanes or three lanes,
that lane is only to be used to pass, And
if you are driving in the left lane, you can
and will be pulled over over if the cop is
so inclined to get a ticket. I don't usually do
it because I don't usually pull people over for going
three miles over the speed limit. But if he has
someone behind him and he's not merging, I will gladly
(40:12):
pull him over and give him a ticket one hundred
percent of the time.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
But Steven, if the person, let's say Todd, is going
ten miles over the speed limit and the guy behind
him is going to be going faster, how do you
adjudicate that.
Speaker 8 (40:28):
I would, Well, when the guy's behind him, he would
be doing ten. Otherwise he'd be hitting him. I would
pull him over and give him a ticket and let the.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Guy behind him go on his merry way.
Speaker 8 (40:38):
And by the way, there's one listener that ows not
getting a ticket today to Fritzy because I'm sitting out
here gunning people and I let someone go because I
was waiting to talk to Damp.
Speaker 16 (40:48):
So there's one.
Speaker 8 (40:51):
A ticket to.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
The VP show.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
That's a quick question.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
No, we don't have time.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
I don't know what the camping speed is. What is
the speed?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
I don't have time time. You've had forty five minutes
on the Thank you officer. Now you want to ask.
Speaker 4 (41:06):
Got somebody out of a ticket? Though? Yeah, I know
somebody got lucky Todd.
Speaker 6 (41:09):
Did you learn anything that did regardless now past you
may be driving the left lane. If someone's riding your buppets,
impartive to get out of their way and yield to
their reckless behavior and excessive s.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
You did not learn anything today, Seaton. I think my
ride home today might be more interesting.
