Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's our one on
Speaker 1: this Thursday, Dan and the Dan at Stan Patrick's Show,
Speaker 1: where Dan at down Pauli has started his vacation a
Speaker 1: day early. To bubble or not to bubble? That is
Speaker 1: the question commissioners had to ponder all spring long. And
Speaker 1: now here we are on the brink of every league
Speaker 1: opening up. And it's funny how viewpoints on different solutions changed.
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, the NBA bubble seemed excessive to some.
Speaker 1: Then several states saw their numbers in the Corona cases rise.
Speaker 1: They maybe the NBA is better off, But then again,
Speaker 1: the number of cases rising in Florida, in Orlando, that
Speaker 1: could be concerning if a league is in a bubble
Speaker 1: in that city. The thing is, this virus has changed quickly.
Speaker 1: It's hard to tell where we're going to be in
Speaker 1: a week, a month, two months. Every league has its
Speaker 1: own circumstances. Yeah, the commissioner the NBA saying, you know,
Speaker 1: we didn't see these spikes happening back a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, month ago when they were proposing the bubble.
Speaker 1: The NFL probably has too many players to even consider
Speaker 1: a bubble. Baseball had discussed playing in a central location
Speaker 1: like Arizona or Florida, they opted to stay at home.
Speaker 1: NHL still hasn't officially named hub cities, at least I
Speaker 1: don't think so. They're no easy answers here. Yeah, mcluban.
Speaker 1: I read a report that they're leading Edmonton in Toronto
Speaker 1: by the way, Okay, yeah, but I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's vitalizing. We say good morning to our great friends
Speaker 1: in Toronto. You know, these are questions that are going
Speaker 1: to challenge these leagues in ways that we've never seen.
Speaker 1: And I think that that will be something that you
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. And maybe you don't follow soccer
Speaker 1: Major League soccer, but you just had a team coming
Speaker 1: in from Dallas to Orlando. They tested negative when they
Speaker 1: were in Dallas. Nine have tested positive in Orlando. It's
Speaker 1: going to happen. And soccer players, by all accounts, great athletes.
Speaker 1: You know, they're not heavy, they're all built sort of
Speaker 1: similarly you get to NFL players. You get to a
Speaker 1: football player who weighs three hundred pounds. Are they more
Speaker 1: at risk here? And the fact that spring, the training
Speaker 1: camps when they start and preseason games for the NFL.
Speaker 1: They're taking away the first preseason game and the last
Speaker 1: preseason game. And there's a reason for that, because if
Speaker 1: I said, oh, they're taking away two preseason games, you
Speaker 1: would assume it would be weeks one and two. They're
Speaker 1: taking away Week one in week four, and in particular,
Speaker 1: week four gives them, I believe, a two week window
Speaker 1: if somebody has tested positive, they would be able to
Speaker 1: go through quarantine and they would be able to play
Speaker 1: in Week one. I still have my doubts if there's
Speaker 1: going to be Week one starting on time. But maybe
Speaker 1: I'm in the minority here and maybe I'm wrong, completely wrong,
Speaker 1: and I hope i am, but I don't think so.
Speaker 1: You also have a story with the Washington Redskins. Now
Speaker 1: you have some big time sponsors that could be affected
Speaker 1: or there's pressure on Nike FedEx Pepsi to demand the
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins change their nickname. Now you have money attached
Speaker 1: to this. It always comes down to the bottom line
Speaker 1: money advertisers, those sponsors decide that they're going to back out.
Speaker 1: My point is Nike is saying, hey, you know what,
Speaker 1: or they're being pressured to tell the Redskins to change
Speaker 1: their nickname. Nike can benefit from this, like net Nike
Speaker 1: has nothing to lose here. You can be part of
Speaker 1: the change, and then Nike makes all the merchandise for
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins. Everybody's going to benefit here, Daniel Sneider,
Speaker 1: you get a whole new revenue stream with merchandise. And
Speaker 1: you can go kicking and screaming because he has said
Speaker 1: on multiple occasions he's not changing that nick if he's
Speaker 1: not getting a new stadium without changing the nickname, and
Speaker 1: that came out yesterday, the commissioner could make a change here.
Speaker 1: Commissioner could be a little bit more heavy handed here,
Speaker 1: and I think he's trying to be as heavy handed
Speaker 1: as possible with Colin Kaepernick. I think the commissioners looking
Speaker 1: at a bigger picture of how history is going to
Speaker 1: view him and what he stood for changes, and those
Speaker 1: are two huge changes. Adam Silver is still getting credit
Speaker 1: for what happened with the Clippers and Donald Stirling, and
Speaker 1: that was easy. Like nobody argued with that, Nobody had
Speaker 1: a problem with that. Hey you got an owner, bad owner,
Speaker 1: racist owner made comments, all right, you got to sell
Speaker 1: the team. That's easy. Imagine if you open the door
Speaker 1: for Kaepernick to get an opportunity, and you change the
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins nickname. That's pretty big, and that would probably
Speaker 1: not that and I don't know him. That put him
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. I believe that that would
Speaker 1: be something where he's grown the league, the owners have
Speaker 1: made money, He's done what you want an owner to do.
Speaker 1: That is, he's the one who gets criticized. And if
Speaker 1: you did these two things, that would I think be huge.
Speaker 1: Age seven seven three D P show email address TP
Speaker 1: at dan Patrick dot com. We got sidetracked a little
Speaker 1: bit last hour mclovin asking about fireworks and Hamburgers and
Speaker 1: Mayo Nay. I just watch Officer and a Gentleman again
Speaker 1: the other night and Lue Gossip Junior. I think he
Speaker 1: won the Academy Award for that role. He's so good
Speaker 1: as the drill sergeant. And Richard gear is Mayo is
Speaker 1: his last name. So Richard, you had Loue Gossip calling
Speaker 1: him Mayo Nay's good movie. Richard Gears, Deborah Winger, that's good.
Speaker 1: But Lue Gossip Junior, who he's spectacular. And if I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna right then you can get it. You're out
Speaker 1: do I got lower the goal? Dude, male needs they
Speaker 1: have that fight in the ring. It's good. Good movie,
Speaker 1: holds up. I think I don't know. Fly Boys spent
Speaker 1: some time with Don Mattingly Donnie Baseball in the first
Speaker 1: hour of the program. I also found out that, uh
Speaker 1: so Donnie Baseball. One of the great nicknames of all
Speaker 1: time Ted Williams was Teddy ball game. And I didn't
Speaker 1: know if it was Ted when he came to the plate.
Speaker 1: It was ball game. So Teddy's at the plate ball
Speaker 1: games over Teddy ball game. He got it from a kid,
Speaker 1: a friend of mine, a photographer named Fred Kaplan. This
Speaker 1: is Ted Williams in his autobiography. He brought his little
Speaker 1: boy to a game at Fenway. Couldn't have been more
Speaker 1: than two years of age at the time, but it
Speaker 1: made an impression on him. A couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: Fred was going to the park again and the boy
Speaker 1: wanted to come, and he said why, why do you
Speaker 1: Who do you want to see? And he said, I
Speaker 1: want to see Teddy. Teddy who And the boy thought
Speaker 1: for a minute and said, Teddy ballgame. Oh that's according
Speaker 1: to Ted Williams in his autobiography, good nickname, great nickname
Speaker 1: Teddy ball game. But that's when you had great nickname.
Speaker 1: Now it's just sort of some derivation of your first name,
Speaker 1: last name, initials as club. There's some good nick names now,
Speaker 1: aren't there. I don't know. Everyone calls him Greek freaks,
Speaker 1: Greek freaks. Good. Johnny Football is probably the closest we've
Speaker 1: gotten to Teddy Ballgame. Yeah, but did he give himself
Speaker 1: that nickname that Manzell was Johnny Football. That's possible. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just saw where he's he's kind of come to
Speaker 1: grips that he's his football career is over. I think
Speaker 1: he should come to grips. There's foot it might be over.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I wish I could could have had his
Speaker 1: ear a couple of years ago, because we move on
Speaker 1: so quickly. There's always somebody knew, somebody better, somebody more exciting,
Speaker 1: and you have your window. And he partied away his window.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if he had the discipline. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he had the talent to be an
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback, a good starting quarterback, consistent starting quarterback, because
Speaker 1: you have to be a leader, you have to be dedicated,
Speaker 1: you have to put in the time and you know
Speaker 1: if you're going to be a party boy, you're not
Speaker 1: going to be a successful NFL quarterback. If you are,
Speaker 1: then you're you're the low small percentile. But Johnny Manziel,
Speaker 1: you know that career, that that careers set sail and
Speaker 1: nobody cares about you anymore. It's just because they move
Speaker 1: on now don't have fond memories. But it's not like
Speaker 1: he comes up in conversation about any say, hey, you
Speaker 1: gotta sign him. Colin Kaepernick has a better chance than
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel. Yes, done. And even if there was some
Speaker 1: type of a comeback story, as we all like, is
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel likable enough that the average person cares that
Speaker 1: he would come back and say he was successful? Is
Speaker 1: that interest to anyone that's a shurance man that he'd
Speaker 1: be what a great comeback story? Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1: You had more people would be interested in Johnny Manziel
Speaker 1: coming back than Colin Kaepernick, be more people probably rooting
Speaker 1: for him than Colin Kaepernick. I don't know if there'd
Speaker 1: be people who would not want Johnny Manziel in the NFL.
Speaker 1: There are going to be a lot of people who
Speaker 1: don't want Colin Kaepernick in the NFL. Yeah, but is
Speaker 1: anybody really missing him? I mean like, you don't even
Speaker 1: you don't even really, when's the last time we thought
Speaker 1: at Johnny Manziel before he said, oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: I think my career's a And he doesn't even he
Speaker 1: doesn't even bubble up. No, he doesn't even get the boy.
Speaker 1: Why didn't somebody take a chance on him? But if
Speaker 1: he was on somebody's radar, an opportunity to come back,
Speaker 1: I think you know, people would be interested in Johnny Manziel.
Speaker 1: You would show those highlights again in college because there
Speaker 1: weren't that many in the NFL. Yeah, we club byway
Speaker 1: Bleacher Report ranked sports nicknames, and Teddy ballgame wasn't even
Speaker 1: the top three or four. They have Big Unit number one.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Yeah, Nigerian Nightmare, Christ dccoy. This ago
Speaker 1: a number three. The answer I think that's Alan Ivers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Yeah, the Glide Glide. Ah, let's see
Speaker 1: what out they have the great one? That one that's
Speaker 1: not bad? Well, can you top the great one? King James?
Speaker 1: Although Ali was the greatest, so I King James, you're right,
Speaker 1: but King James is not the great one. No, that's
Speaker 1: the chosen one, which somehow back. That's true. Great one
Speaker 1: was awesome one, but you can't give yourself a nickname.
Speaker 1: Here's a great one. We all loved Muscle Hamster Doug Martin,
Speaker 1: the little running back and that one always creaked me out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know you never said it up. I don't think
Speaker 1: I did. Hey, there's the muscle hamster. Like just that
Speaker 1: thought of a hamster and then he's you know, it's
Speaker 1: so accurate though, muscle Hamster. All right, did we settle
Speaker 1: on a poll question? Put up a heart any one?
Speaker 1: Do you like fireworks? Yes or alright? Sixty five percent
Speaker 1: say yes, although that probably the last couple of months,
Speaker 1: not as many like it. Duncan Robinson of the Miami
Speaker 1: Heat's gonna join us, and he is one of the
Speaker 1: great shooters. He's on the shortlist of great shooters in
Speaker 1: the NBA right now. Uh, and all he does is
Speaker 1: take threes. Yes, those guy's gonna be able to shoot
Speaker 1: well at the bubble. I mean, you know you're a
Speaker 1: great shooter. When you go to a weird gym, sometimes
Speaker 1: it's harder. I think, if you can shoot, you can shoot,
Speaker 1: not at you see guys in the NTA tournament who
Speaker 1: lose their shot. Yes, yeah, but that's the background. So
Speaker 1: the depth there because you you're in these huge football
Speaker 1: stadiums and there is depth perception, and that's an issue.
Speaker 1: I remember watching a game in the Superdome and LSU
Speaker 1: was playing, and I remember some of the players, even
Speaker 1: though that's sort of a home away from home court
Speaker 1: for LSU, how far the floor is and the basket
Speaker 1: is from the stands, and that, you know, because when
Speaker 1: you shoot and guys look at either the front of
Speaker 1: the rim or the back of the rim. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: I just saw I just looked at everything. I didn't focus,
Speaker 1: but guys will focus on front or back iron and
Speaker 1: then when you see the depth perception or there, it's
Speaker 1: it kind of messes with you a little bit. It
Speaker 1: can be a problem for these players, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, this will be a Summer League game. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what it's going to feel like for them, with
Speaker 1: the number of people there, the sounds that they're going
Speaker 1: to hear. I think for the audience, I think the
Speaker 1: TV audience, I think we're in for We're in for surprises.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a treat, but from what
Speaker 1: I'm told and I'm sworn to secrecy on this. I
Speaker 1: think we're getting some fun things involved in the broadcast here. Oh,
Speaker 1: here's another thing. I'm watching ESPN this morning, Korean baseball.
Speaker 1: Now I applaud the mothership of putting something on that's
Speaker 1: live sports, and you know, granted it's in Korea, and
Speaker 1: you got you know, bog Shambion who was a great broadcaster.
Speaker 1: And I was just listening and I realized, they don't
Speaker 1: even talk about Korean baseball action that's going on. So
Speaker 1: I'm watching three guys talk baseball while Korean baseball is on.
Speaker 1: It's really bizarre. You'll occasionally get this five three at
Speaker 1: the end of four. Other than that, you have no
Speaker 1: idea there's a baseball game going on. No, if I'm
Speaker 1: just listening to you, I don't know there's a baseball game.
Speaker 1: And you know, so you got three guys, you know
Speaker 1: that they're in their zoom boxes there and then there's
Speaker 1: the baseball game going on. And I just thought it
Speaker 1: was It's kind of funny. It was humorous. Where I'm going.
Speaker 1: I think i'd say anything like there's a bang bang
Speaker 1: play a seconds, you know, like talking advanced stats. Oh,
Speaker 1: they were talking about all the people in front offices
Speaker 1: from the IVY leagues, and meanwhile the actions going on,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, there's a fly ball to left. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it could be, it might be it is yes time.
Speaker 1: It's almost like a green screen. It's like that a
Speaker 1: backdrop with this stuffing going out of the background, like
Speaker 1: you would have books on a bookshelf. This happens to
Speaker 1: be a live baseball game going on behind their chatter.
Speaker 1: It almost looks like it's a parody if they were
Speaker 1: gonna have a parody of a play by play team
Speaker 1: doing Korean baseball where they don't even talk about the
Speaker 1: game itself, or it's like there was a different TV
Speaker 1: show going on and then somebody crussed up the feeds
Speaker 1: and started showing in a baseball game and you're like, no,
Speaker 1: that's somebody. Blake in Missouri joins us, Hi Blake, what's
Speaker 1: on your mind? DP? How you doing? Hi Blake? Hey? Um,
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about Ted Williams. I thought his
Speaker 1: nickname was always the kid Um, going back to when
Speaker 1: he flew planes with the late great John glenn Um.
Speaker 1: But uh, I had three three rules kind of in
Speaker 1: my family that'd be pertinent this weekend. Especially. Don't dive
Speaker 1: into water you don't know the depth of take it
Speaker 1: easy on the booze before dinner, and no mades and
Speaker 1: wine bottles. Um, that's all. I got. M eighties, blank
Speaker 1: you blake. That was a big deal. When I was
Speaker 1: growing up, guys had M eighties. What you serious? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was in Costco the other day. There's hundreds of
Speaker 1: fireworks for sale everywhere. When I was a kid, you
Speaker 1: had to like go to some strange place really far
Speaker 1: away to get them. Yeah, you had to meet somebody
Speaker 1: behind someplace in the middle of the night and hand
Speaker 1: over cash. And now now it's they got these tents
Speaker 1: that are set up. People had to go to other
Speaker 1: stage to get them, and now it seems a more
Speaker 1: readily available with you. I'm a sparkler guy, and that's
Speaker 1: about all I need. Yeah. I was fine with my
Speaker 1: daughters just going out there a little sparkler. That's fine.
Speaker 1: Just run around, run around a little sparkler and get
Speaker 1: tired and time to go. Now night night. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: you go. Hey, the Great fourth of July. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break. Duncan Robinson will join us. Scott Zolak,
Speaker 1: the Patriots radio analysts a little later on his thoughts
Speaker 1: on Cam Newton, and the executive director of the Baseball
Speaker 1: Players Association, Tony Clark, will join us right after having
Speaker 1: the commissioner on yesterday on the program. Just a coincidence, right, Tom?
Speaker 1: You have to coincident? I don't think so. All right,
Speaker 1: We're back after this eighteen after the hour. This is

Speaker 1: stories in the NBA is Duncan Robinson born in Maine,
Speaker 1: grew up in New Hampshire, played Division three basketball, then
Speaker 1: went to Michigan, and all of a sudden you realize
Speaker 1: he's one of the best shooters in the NBA and
Speaker 1: all he does is shoot three. So I immediately love
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson, who joins us on the program the Miami
Speaker 1: Heat forward Duncan, how are you. I'm doing well. I
Speaker 1: appreciate you having me on. Okay, a couple of things.
Speaker 1: Andre Igudalla, who was with Golden State, had the ultimate
Speaker 1: compliment I think for you when well, not the ultimate,
Speaker 1: because he thought, I think you were the ball boy
Speaker 1: when he first got to Miami Heat. Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's actually a legitimate quote. I
Speaker 1: think that that was, you know, kind of someone made up.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a little bit. Andre. Obviously you know Andre
Speaker 1: now pretty close and he's been a great mentor to
Speaker 1: me ever since he's been in Miami. But I'm not
Speaker 1: in that category yet in terms of you know, his
Speaker 1: other teammates. Okay, but he did say that you were
Speaker 1: the best shooter he's seen. Is that right? That's the quote? Now,
Speaker 1: are you saying that that's not true either. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's entirely true. I don't think he said
Speaker 1: that that verbatim. You know, He's definitely given me a
Speaker 1: lot of confidence, but like I said, I don't think
Speaker 1: he thinks or or a personally at the point I
Speaker 1: think I'm in that category just yet, Well, why the
Speaker 1: hell am I having you on? If you weren't mistaken
Speaker 1: for a ball boy and being called the best shooter
Speaker 1: that under A Ugudala had has ever seen. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I mean it could be true and that I'm relatively unassuming,
Speaker 1: but you know, I kind of came on, I guess
Speaker 1: a little bit late there and towards the end of
Speaker 1: the season, so I'm not sure. Okay, but you go
Speaker 1: Division three, then you go to Michigan and you end
Speaker 1: up with a heat and I start looking at the
Speaker 1: numbers and I go, this guy doesn't shoot any twos.
Speaker 1: It's basically three or nothing. How did you become this
Speaker 1: great three point shooter? And I do mean great, Um,
Speaker 1: just a lot of repetitions, you know. I feel like
Speaker 1: I've always kind of had an ability to shoot the ball.
Speaker 1: I've definitely improved here in the last you know, three
Speaker 1: to four years, I think Michigan helped me a lot
Speaker 1: in terms of my player development, and then never since
Speaker 1: I've been with Miami. They're really hardwired into my brain
Speaker 1: to really just to just shoot three and do what
Speaker 1: I do well. And you know, for me, that's that's
Speaker 1: doing my job and being aggressive. What was your welcome
Speaker 1: to the NBA moment, good or bad? I would probably
Speaker 1: say this year we were playing the Lakers. Um. Uh,
Speaker 1: this this was early on in the year before I
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a reputation and they put
Speaker 1: Lebron on me basically just had him sit in the paint. Uh,
Speaker 1: was basically relevant enough to work of a defender. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, because he's such a good help side defender
Speaker 1: and um that that was probably a just that'surreal moment
Speaker 1: of being on the floor, but also you know, kind
Speaker 1: of being guard time as well. But the fact that
Speaker 1: you sort of weren't guarded by him either exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely was not a priority. But when did it change?
Speaker 1: Where did you start getting respect from defenses? Just kind
Speaker 1: of gradually over time. Um, as a year went on,
Speaker 1: my rule kind of started to shift. At first, I
Speaker 1: was coming off the bench and um just kind of
Speaker 1: being a spark and a floor space. And as the
Speaker 1: year went on, I got put in more and more
Speaker 1: action and was asked to do a little bit more.
Speaker 1: So it was just gradually. I wouldn't necessarily cite one
Speaker 1: in particular moment where everything kind of changed. What about
Speaker 1: the three point shooting contest? Yeah, I mean that was
Speaker 1: in many ways. I mean I kind of laid an egg.
Speaker 1: I wish I could could have it back in terms
Speaker 1: of my performance that weekend. But how nervous were you?
Speaker 1: I was pretty It's just such an unnatural setting. You know,
Speaker 1: You're you're sitting there waiting for the contest to come,
Speaker 1: and you get about like a minute to warm up,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you're just kind of
Speaker 1: thrown into the fire. So that was definitely a little
Speaker 1: bit of a way from me to gain a little
Speaker 1: bit more notoriety and that, you know, I was kind
Speaker 1: of getting some recognition after that. Did you talk to
Speaker 1: any of those guys? Do you talk to it? Like,
Speaker 1: can you walk over to Steph Curry prior to a
Speaker 1: game and just like great shooter to great shooter have
Speaker 1: a conversation or Clay Thompson I haven't. I haven't had
Speaker 1: that moment with either of those guys. Obviously, they missed
Speaker 1: a lot this year, so I haven't had that moment
Speaker 1: with either of those guys. I will say it's been
Speaker 1: pretty surreal. I've been able to kind of develop relationships
Speaker 1: with guys like JJ Reddick and Kyle Pover guys so
Speaker 1: I've always really looked up to who've done my job
Speaker 1: at the highest of levels. So it's been pretty cool
Speaker 1: to just kind of learn from them and pick their
Speaker 1: brains on different things. The heat worked out in Miami yesterday.
Speaker 1: You leave for Orlando here coming up in a few days.
Speaker 1: How nervous are you? It's it's a combination of kind
Speaker 1: of anxious and excited, you know, I think, first and foremost,
Speaker 1: I think we're all excited to get back to playing.
Speaker 1: Obviously there's a lot of uncertainty that's coming with the
Speaker 1: being in this bubble. It's unprecedented in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: But you know, we're also excited about just getting back
Speaker 1: out there and competing. Yeah, are you're going to be
Speaker 1: in the bubble? Yeah, I mean, it's it's a totally
Speaker 1: different scenario than obviously anyone's ever faced. I think there's
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some bumps in the road in terms
Speaker 1: of how it all comes together. But I think what's
Speaker 1: most important is that between the league and the teams,
Speaker 1: there's definitely a united front in that everybody wants to
Speaker 1: play again. Yeah, but you're how many times have you
Speaker 1: been tested? We could test it every other day since
Speaker 1: June twenty first, so I'd probably say like five or
Speaker 1: something like that. What's that process like? It's it's I've
Speaker 1: gotten used to it. It's gotten more and more comfortable.
Speaker 1: At first, it was definitely uncomfortable, a little invasive, for sure,
Speaker 1: but at this point it's it's basically become habit, considering
Speaker 1: I do it every other day. I saw where the
Speaker 1: Greek Freak said, whoever wins this championship, you deserve an
Speaker 1: asterisk because you will have pulled off maybe the greatest
Speaker 1: championship given everything that said, stake everything you've got to
Speaker 1: go through if we even get to an NBA finals.
Speaker 1: What do you think of that quote by the Greek Freak.
Speaker 1: I think there's definitely some truth to it. You know.
Speaker 1: One thing we've really been talking about as a team
Speaker 1: is that this will definitely be a test of comparitive
Speaker 1: will and then also just mental toughness. Um, so I
Speaker 1: think whatever team can can pull through in that regard,
Speaker 1: I will definitely have a competitive advantage. I know you're
Speaker 1: doing a sweepstakes. Yes, Duncan Robinson is running a sweep
Speaker 1: stakes contest. Uh, Like I think you're involved with the
Speaker 1: United Way, So would you like to let the audience know? Yeah? Absolutely, UM,
Speaker 1: I'm doing an event with United Way and Engage and
Speaker 1: basically it's, uh, you know, just a way to first
Speaker 1: of all, give back to the community of Miami, um
Speaker 1: and everything that's going on between, um, you know the
Speaker 1: recent social justice push and also you know COVID obviously
Speaker 1: as well. Um, obviously a one hundred percent of the
Speaker 1: proceeds are are going towards the cause, and the grand
Speaker 1: prize is basically just like a VIP game night with me.
Speaker 1: You'll be my guests all the way through from from
Speaker 1: pregame warm ups to post game as well, and there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of other prizes as well. So, like I said,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the proceeds are going towards the cause,
Speaker 1: and um, you know, obviously in times like this, it
Speaker 1: requires people to give up both their time, and their money,
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to do both. So I feel like
Speaker 1: this is a way for me to do that give
Speaker 1: the website to people. If they want more information on this,
Speaker 1: you can go go to Let's Engage is the platform
Speaker 1: that I'm using it through, and like you mentioned, it's
Speaker 1: the Duncan Robinson sweep six. Are you a Patriots fan?
Speaker 1: I did grow up a Patriots fan. Yes, well you
Speaker 1: didn't answer the question are you a Patriot? I will
Speaker 1: say it gets tough as you get older. Your loyalty
Speaker 1: kind of shifts, you know. Now, I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: very much a citizen of the city of Miami, so
Speaker 1: I was excited to see if they drafted to up.
Speaker 1: I'm excited for the future, but you know, in my heart,
Speaker 1: I will also always be a Patriot fan as well.
Speaker 1: Have you gone to games in Miami? I have. I
Speaker 1: went to the game last year when they played the
Speaker 1: Patriots at home, which honestly that it felt more like
Speaker 1: a fox game in Foxboro I'm going to do in Miami.
Speaker 1: Have you gone to games in Foxborough? I went to
Speaker 1: one growing up, went to one. So I grew up
Speaker 1: north of Boston Foxboro South, so getting through the city
Speaker 1: and getting down there is always a challenge of traffic
Speaker 1: and everything. Duncan, good luck, it's been a great it's
Speaker 1: a success story. And you don't find too many guys
Speaker 1: who went to Williams College who end up in the NBA.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we wish it, we wish you
Speaker 1: well there in Orlando. All right, well, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you having me on. All right. That's Duncan
Speaker 1: Robinson twenty six years of age and Fritzie did some
Speaker 1: great research there and Duncan, Duncan, you gotta stay with
Speaker 1: that story though, that you're you know, they thought you
Speaker 1: were the ball boy, and that andre Iguodala said you're
Speaker 1: the greatest shooter he's ever been around. Okay, you gotta
Speaker 1: stay with that story. Okay, yes, yes, I gotta get
Speaker 1: I gotta get with your pr people. Thank you, Duncan.
Speaker 1: All right. Uh yeah, you know you start to look
Speaker 1: at the backstory and uh, he just shoots threes, but
Speaker 1: coming out of nowhere there and a great shooter at that.
Speaker 1: Not a guy. There's a lot of guy who take threes.
Speaker 1: There's you know, it's one thing to take him, it's
Speaker 1: another thing to make him. Yeah, set we were just saying,
Speaker 1: like during the interview it's going on, I think Andrew
Speaker 1: he's like, he's just kind of like a normal guy
Speaker 1: that just happens to play in the NBA. He looks
Speaker 1: like he could be a ball Boy's a normal dude.
Speaker 1: It'd be like a tall ball boy that you have there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because he looks like he's about twenty. He's twenty six.
Speaker 1: But now you go, I remember him with Michigan and
Speaker 1: I just sort of vaguely remember this guy can shoot.
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of guys who can shoot.
Speaker 1: But to take that to the next level, and then
Speaker 1: to have a team who says you're going to shoot threes,
Speaker 1: that's all you're going to do. He takes one two
Speaker 1: per game and an attempt I think is average AMIC club.
Speaker 1: Since Paul he's out here, I will bring this up. Oh.
Speaker 1: I find it interesting that he has two last names,
Speaker 1: and it's his last names of the great Spurs centers
Speaker 1: from the nineties and Zeros. Now you're bringing up I
Speaker 1: could have asked him, are you named after Tim Duncan
Speaker 1: or David rod Well. No, that's his last name. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't get to choose his are what to say?
Speaker 1: A duncan cheek is that? And his middle name is Shaquiel,
Speaker 1: which is interesting as well. Get here, are you serious?
Speaker 1: I don't know what's true? What's with this guy? Shaquille
Speaker 1: Robin Duncan O'Neill Robinson's three straight last I was gonna
Speaker 1: say Papa bitch, but then I figured you would you know,
Speaker 1: if I said shack, you might go, oh yeah. A
Speaker 1: lot of kids named after Shaquille, O'Neil Duncan, Alajuan Youing
Speaker 1: Robinson the third? Did you consider naming your kids after athletes? No,
Speaker 1: because you knew they weren't gonna be athletes. I wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna name them after me or after athletes. I think
Speaker 1: that's tricky. And yeah, it's just somebody you think is somebody,
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna name your child after them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I named my son after my dad. I
Speaker 1: figured that. I'm I'm okay with that one. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: the club. Duncan Robinson's middle name is Duncan McBride spelled
Speaker 1: with a hy Robinson possibly named Danny McBride. Thinking from
Speaker 1: fifty years ago, that's a weird game. Duncan McBride Robinson
Speaker 1: love it Junior. The third A couple more phone calls
Speaker 1: here Matt in New York Joints is Hi, Matt, what's
Speaker 1: on your mind today? Morning, guys, Morning to speak with
Speaker 1: you guys again. Wanted to weigh in on the Mayo conversation.
Speaker 1: So obviously over the last few weeks, you guys have
Speaker 1: seemed quite the uptick and female listeners across the country.
Speaker 1: So now usually when I listened every morning, my girlfriend
Speaker 1: no offense, but kind of drowns you guys out to
Speaker 1: the voices that are in the background as we're volt
Speaker 1: and working from home over the last couple of months.
Speaker 1: So after four months, her ears finally perked up at
Speaker 1: one comment, and it was a question about putting Mayo
Speaker 1: on a burgen. This is something that she is very
Speaker 1: in favor of. Where is I'm on the opposite end
Speaker 1: it discuss me. I really don't like looking at it
Speaker 1: once she does it and puts it on her Voca
Speaker 1: burgers and various vegan alternatives. So my question for you guys,
Speaker 1: are you've all been married a long time? Are we
Speaker 1: doomed for the rest of time? Is our future completely
Speaker 1: going to be up in arms over this condiment? Conversation?
Speaker 1: Or how do I handle this moving forward? How long
Speaker 1: have you been married? We've just been dating for about
Speaker 1: five years. I'm married maybe on the No, you're not
Speaker 1: getting married, Matt, you've been dating for five years. You're
Speaker 1: not getting married because of the mayo dad, No, just
Speaker 1: because you've been dating for five years. Oh, we're young.
Speaker 1: We whole lives out of us. Okay. If I talk
Speaker 1: to her and you weren't in the room, I'd probably
Speaker 1: get a different response. How to find yourself a girl
Speaker 1: who agrees with your condiments and that's fifty percent of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but good luck, Matt. We're counting on you and your
Speaker 1: your girlfriend doesn't even approve of this show. So you're
Speaker 1: doing you just told them he's that getting married. I know,
Speaker 1: thank you man. Well Okay, as the father of three daughters, dear,
Speaker 1: if I had if they're they were dating somebody for
Speaker 1: five years, you know, I'd kind of be curious of
Speaker 1: where things stand now. I told my daughters you don't
Speaker 1: have to get married. You don't have to get married
Speaker 1: for me. We don't need to have a ceremony. You know,
Speaker 1: I want you to. It's the hardest thing you'll ever
Speaker 1: do is be married and make it work and make
Speaker 1: it last a long time. But after five years, I
Speaker 1: don't know. But what if they're just people, that's you know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people, and it's perfectly okay to
Speaker 1: just not want to get married. As long as she
Speaker 1: or my daughters feel secure in that relationship, then I'm
Speaker 1: fine with I want them to be happy. I don't
Speaker 1: want them to go uh, you know, hey, I got
Speaker 1: to get married for my dad or my mom. Yes, time,
Speaker 1: do you step into any point and have that conversation
Speaker 1: with no? No, no, no, no, that's not that's not
Speaker 1: in my wheelhouse, not none of my business. You know,
Speaker 1: you can just kind of be. The best thing you
Speaker 1: can do with daughters is listen best thing because they'll talk,
Speaker 1: they'll tell you everything. All you gotta do is listen.
Speaker 1: With boys, you've got to engage. You got to make
Speaker 1: them talk because if you say how is your day? Good?
Speaker 1: If I say how is my day to any of
Speaker 1: my daughters, well, and then they start rattling off things
Speaker 1: and then like fifteen minutes later like you're just your
Speaker 1: eyes are glazing over. Yeah, what is that though? That?
Speaker 1: Boys don't share anything? So I'll ask my son all
Speaker 1: the time like, hey, Bud, how is this sort of good? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And it reminds me of how I was, And I
Speaker 1: know that that must have driven my parents nuts. I
Speaker 1: never gave him any where are you going out? Well?
Speaker 1: I started asking open ended questions that I try to
Speaker 1: put in play when I do interviews here, so I
Speaker 1: had to interview my son. And then he caught on
Speaker 1: that I was interviewing him because I'd say, you know,
Speaker 1: if i'd say, instead of how is your day, hey,
Speaker 1: what was the best part of your day? And he
Speaker 1: goes doing the interview thing huh, And I go, yeah,

Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? Good morning? Good
Speaker 1: morning follows good morning? Hey. I wanted to weigh in
Speaker 1: on a really great nick nickname, a really cool cat,
Speaker 1: Johnny b dust Baker, junior manager of the Eastern Astros.
Speaker 1: I don't even you know. I always thought of him
Speaker 1: as you know, Dusty Baker. I never thought of Johnny
Speaker 1: b Dusty Baker. Yeah, I did not know that, but
Speaker 1: thank you, Bob. Yeah, I just I grew up in
Speaker 1: an era where it felt like everybody had a nickname,
Speaker 1: or if you had a nickname, it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Like Rick Burlson was the red rooster. I think I
Speaker 1: think that was him. Yes, And do you know why
Speaker 1: Dusty Baker was called Dusty? I do not do it
Speaker 1: A little homework here. When he was a kid, he
Speaker 1: was constantly playing in the dirt. His mom was calling
Speaker 1: him Dusty for that. No, well, all right, there you go.
Speaker 1: And how you feeling about the accuracy of that? Come on?
Speaker 1: Not well at all? Do you know Adam Sandler started
Speaker 1: on this day thirty years ago about the date that
Speaker 1: Dusty Baker was born or an anniversary number when he
Speaker 1: got to Orlando was thirty four. I also messed up
Speaker 1: the Ricky Henderson number. By the way of that, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I devolde that to a Polly threatened
Speaker 1: me that he was going to tell you that I
Speaker 1: got both those numbers wrong because he was actually like
Speaker 1: number thirty five or something when he started with thea's
Speaker 1: not twenty four. So I got both of those numbers
Speaker 1: wrong on the scoreboard that there. I'm surprised when you
Speaker 1: get numbers right, Todd, you should be Yeah, it's usually wrong.
Speaker 1: Just assume it's not right, yes, and then it'll be
Speaker 1: a pleasant surprise. They're like, you know what that match
Speaker 1: is accuracy? Thank you, Todd JD in Oklahoma. I, j D,
Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? Hey? Dan? Hey Dad?
Speaker 1: I just I was just going to comment on which
Speaker 1: said earlier to the caller about being married for five
Speaker 1: years and not or being a dating for five years
Speaker 1: and not getting married. And I did it for six years.
Speaker 1: I got married, so we've got about two years so
Speaker 1: it can happen. I don't know about forever, but you
Speaker 1: know I can let you know, okay, Yeah, keep me posted,
Speaker 1: JD over the next five years while I do this.
Speaker 1: Just if you're still married, just call in and go,
Speaker 1: hey Marvin, tell Dan JDS still married. You'll be there
Speaker 1: more than five. But I also wanted to say that
Speaker 1: I got an Australian shepherd puppy that we adopted and
Speaker 1: we named him Dan Patrick Mahomes. So I just wanted
Speaker 1: to let you know, well, thank you, j D. Those
Speaker 1: are beautiful dogs too, oh man? Are they ever? Yeah? Yep?
Speaker 1: You know, people go in waves where a dog becomes
Speaker 1: really popular and then they breed so many of them.
Speaker 1: Then I always wonder what happens, you know, because how
Speaker 1: long it takes before somebody goes, uh, oh, we're gonna
Speaker 1: pugs are in now. It's labradoodles, bulldogs, working, French bulldogs
Speaker 1: right now, bull dog, big tug. Yeah. And we have
Speaker 1: a shiba Inu and it is a cat, not a dog.
Speaker 1: It couldn't care less about anybody, but you know, it
Speaker 1: was a big deal, especially if you lived in New
Speaker 1: York City. My son brought it home. I thought he
Speaker 1: had a squirrel on his shoulder and it was a dog,
Speaker 1: and I go, now he walks in, He goes, what
Speaker 1: do you think? I go, you have a squirrel on
Speaker 1: your shoulder. Goes, no, that's that's my dog. I go, well, great,
Speaker 1: of course I end up. You know, we're the ones
Speaker 1: raising the dog at home, and that dog. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: I have a cat that is friendlier than the dog,
Speaker 1: which is impossible, but I do. I walk in. That
Speaker 1: dog may lift its head, may but usually not when
Speaker 1: I feed. It never gets up, not in a hurry,
Speaker 1: couldn't care less, never excited. So if you are thinking
Speaker 1: about a sheba, you know understand they are not loving dog.
Speaker 1: They look gorgeous, they're not loving dogs at least mine isn't. Uh,
