Speaker 2: We have a frost delay at the PGA Championship. Excuse me, yes, frost.
Speaker 2: Normally you get sunshine, it's cloud beautiful clouds and blue skies,
Speaker 2: and you got frost right now in Upstate New York.
Speaker 2: But they will get the round in and it gets
Speaker 2: started a little bit later on. But a frost delay,
Speaker 2: they can't play right now in the frost. Lakers, Nuggets

Speaker 2: brought to you by Panini America of the official trading
Speaker 2: cards of The Dan Patrick Show. Coming into last night's
Speaker 2: game Eastern Conference Finals, the Heats weren't given much of
Speaker 2: a chance. In fact, the ESPN analytics said the Miami
Speaker 2: Heat had a three percent chance of going back to
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals. I don't know what the analytics would
Speaker 2: say today with the ESPN maybe a little more than
Speaker 2: three percent. Miami came into the postseason as the eighth seed.
Speaker 2: Now I know, we get caught up in they're an
Speaker 2: eighth seed. Well, they underachieved during the regular season to
Speaker 2: start with, so they're not truly an eighth seed. And
Speaker 2: I don't know if Miami truly cared about the regular season.
Speaker 2: They just want to get into the playoffs. And when
Speaker 2: they do, with that coach and that player, they usually
Speaker 2: do some damage. And Jimmy Butler, if we've learned anything
Speaker 2: his four year stretch in Miami, never count him out.
Speaker 2: You know, you go back to twenty twenty, he willed
Speaker 2: the Heat to the finals. Last night, he had his
Speaker 2: way with the Celtics. He had thirty five, seven and
Speaker 2: six steals. Six time All Star, He's going to be
Speaker 2: a future Hall of Famer. And when you think about
Speaker 2: those guys when it gets to the postseason. He's almost
Speaker 2: a modern day Reggie Miller from the standpoint of maybe
Speaker 2: regular season you're not talking about him good, maybe sometimes
Speaker 2: very good. But postseason that's when you make a name
Speaker 2: for yourself, and Jimmy Butler has done that. Here's Boston
Speaker 2: coming in, all this momentum, Jason Tatum, credible performance, fifty
Speaker 2: one points Game seven, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: doesn't take a shot in the fourth quarter. It takes
Speaker 2: five shots total in the second half. How's that happen?
Speaker 1: You're at home?
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown, sixth Man of the Year, Malcolm Brogdon, firepower.
Speaker 2: They got it all, but they can't win at home.
Speaker 2: They're five hundred at home in the playoffs. So Boston
Speaker 2: is still a better team than Miami. The best team
Speaker 2: doesn't always win, and that was certainly the case last night.
Speaker 1: Poll question today, what do we have?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: The touble d sent in a few Okay, I always
Speaker 3: like when.
Speaker 2: Todd Round one is underway at the PGA Championship. It's
Speaker 2: forty three degrees at Okhill.
Speaker 4: Aws and prayers.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, you got guys out there look like they're
Speaker 2: you know, getting ready to go skiing or you know, snowboarding.
Speaker 2: But they'll they'll get it in and the weather will
Speaker 2: be a lot better later in the week.
Speaker 1: Yes, poem.
Speaker 4: We did a little open ourw morning meeting with about
Speaker 4: the frost and the golfers at the PGA. Someone sent
Speaker 4: in a note that maybe they're protecting the conditions of
Speaker 4: the course the grass itself because there's frost on the grass.
Speaker 4: The grass could be damaged if you walk on it
Speaker 4: or play on it, you know, possible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, yeah, whatever they say. I used to be
Speaker 2: on the grounds crew at the Jack Nicholas golf course. Seriously,
Speaker 2: Yes I did, and that was a King's Island, Ohio.
Speaker 4: Did you ever meet mister Nicholas? Yes, I did, when
Speaker 4: you're a youngster.
Speaker 2: Yes I did. He doesn't remember me because I was
Speaker 2: on a riding mower and I had to turn off
Speaker 2: the engine because he was walking around the golf course
Speaker 2: and he couldn't hear, so I had to turn off
Speaker 2: and I mowed the greens.
Speaker 4: That must have been pretty nutty though. I mean, he's
Speaker 4: as famous as it gets.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, yeah, but I still had a job to do. Paul,
Speaker 2: you're focused on your Yes, I was. I was mowing
Speaker 2: the greens because only I could. Yes, Ton, did you
Speaker 2: approach him, say hi to him? Or you were instructing
Speaker 2: not to talk to these men. I had a job
Speaker 2: to do, Todd.
Speaker 5: Park the car for a second and get on go Hey,
Speaker 5: mister Nicholas is one.
Speaker 6: To say hi.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a riding mower. It's not a car,
Speaker 1: you mower.
Speaker 5: But I could see you not being shy as a
Speaker 5: kid of men going up to people.
Speaker 2: No, it's I had a job to do, Ton, It's
Speaker 2: called being a profession. You should yeah, age seven to
Speaker 2: seven to three. D P show email ADDRESSDP Atdanpatrick dot com,
Speaker 2: Twitter handle.
Speaker 1: At dp show Poll questions from Todd.

Speaker 7: I still do. I think the heat advanced to the
Speaker 7: final tonight the Lakers will have made the necessary adjustment

Speaker 2: I mean thank you, Tod. What's the one to make
Speaker 2: her trophy made by the same people who made the
Speaker 2: Heisman trophy? Can we check that? For some reason in
Speaker 2: the deep recesses of this mind, the people who made
Speaker 2: the Wanna Maker trophy? Did they make the Heisman trophy?
Speaker 2: Two good ones right there?
Speaker 1: Well, if it's true.
Speaker 3: If it's not, then it's still two good trophies.
Speaker 2: Yeah it is, yes, But for some reason I thought
Speaker 2: that it's like, didn't Tiffany come up with the design
Speaker 2: for the New York Yankees? And why really does that
Speaker 2: sound right? The singer No, I know. If will you
Speaker 2: stop think we're alone? No, no, no, we're seven minutes
Speaker 2: in today, you're alone?
Speaker 5: Now, that'd be some stratege to Tiffany who came up
Speaker 5: with them.
Speaker 3: I fully support the energy Todd's putting out right now.
Speaker 2: And I have to land the planes. That's the problem, Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 4: Designed by the Asius and Klust Oh my gosh. D
Speaker 4: e g s the Asius and Clust in New York City,
Speaker 4: the Rodman Wannamaker Trophy was intended to be unique by
Speaker 4: its namesake standards. The company would add to its luster
Speaker 4: by creating the Heisman Trophy in nineteen thirty four.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, and then Tiffany with the Yankees logo Seaton.
Speaker 2: I can confirm that percent see you guys tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the rest of the day.

Speaker 4: They did they're running things.
Speaker 1: Yes, they did.
Speaker 4: Cluster screwed everything up for everybody, though.
Speaker 1: Swit's pole question we're going to go with.
Speaker 3: Well, Paaly just sent in one. He's still in the league.
Speaker 2: Question mark exclamation point, exclamation point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, your options here from Paul or Kyle Lowry,
Speaker 3: Kevin Love, and Eudonna's Haslam. You know, Kevin Love is
Speaker 3: funny because he's sitting on the bench totally gray.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: I know, it looks like he's like an Uncle Drew character.
Speaker 2: He's the guy that you go, I'll take the old
Speaker 2: man over there. He's only thirty five. Oh oh oh, I'll.
Speaker 1: Still take him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Paul, when he checks in the game, he rips
Speaker 4: off a pair of corduroy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got cut off cords. Uh in new balance low.
Speaker 3: Cut hold on, give me about forty five minutes to
Speaker 3: stretch here and then I'll oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Eu Donna's Haslim is still. That's one of the
Speaker 2: more amazing jobs that it's almost like when the grownups
Speaker 2: are out of the room, he's still the grown up.
Speaker 2: He's the hall monitor there for the team. He's a
Speaker 2: players coach or coaches player or something like that.
Speaker 8: Yes, smart, he's definitely in the coaches meetings.
Speaker 2: Also, yeah, yeah, you got to be careful when you
Speaker 2: know who is around, you know, when the players you're talking. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and man, I can't believe that's sposter. Oh hey, Eudnis, Hey, guys,
Speaker 2: what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Yes, Tod, can you be a team ambassador?
Speaker 5: And I'm the roster at the same time, I'm fascinated
Speaker 5: about that.
Speaker 2: Well he is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, e Donnas Hasselm has been with the Heat since
Speaker 4: three but he hasn't been really an active player where
Speaker 4: he plays in the rotation since twenty fifteen and sixteen.
Speaker 4: He's basically been on the roster the past seven years.
Speaker 4: In a practice assistant coach roll.
Speaker 2: That's not a stat of the day. I know, you
Speaker 2: know what a stat of the day could be. I
Speaker 2: got the over unders for tonight. The Lakers are getting
Speaker 2: five and a half against the Nuggets. Do you want
Speaker 2: to do the over undergame? Seaton killed it yesterday. Seaton
Speaker 2: was the joker. You were a triple double yesterday. Okay,

Speaker 2: and a half against the Nuggets. We'll get to phone
Speaker 2: calls coming up, We'll get our pole question. We got
Speaker 2: to play of the day. Stat of the day is
Speaker 2: always coming up. And the PGA Championship is underway with
Speaker 2: temperatures under fifty degrees. I'm played in those kind of
Speaker 2: conditions before.
Speaker 4: Does it hurt your hands?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 2: You know when you play baseball and it's a little
Speaker 2: cold and you have a foul ball and it's like
Speaker 2: your hands vibrate. Yeah, it can be uncomfortable playing in
Speaker 2: conditions like that.
Speaker 4: Hard to time put a white belt on when you're
Speaker 4: that cold and I feel for them?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right, what time weather?
Speaker 5: Richards? Are par for the course through?
Speaker 2: You got it? Oh?
Speaker 3: God, yeah, you're more creative than that is he.
Speaker 2: Is?
Speaker 8: He?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I believe in you, Todd.
Speaker 5: I found out, by the way, what kind of shoe you?
Speaker 5: Donnis Haslam?
Speaker 8: Where is?
Speaker 7: When he does get a chance to play, he wears
Speaker 7: the Odins because he looks old like Greg Odin? Am
Speaker 7: I trying too hard?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 7: Maybe not enough dons greg Odens shoe?
Speaker 2: No, don't pin this on r No, don't pin this
Speaker 2: on Ryan in Honolulu?
Speaker 5: What's what's from?
Speaker 1: Why don't you get up? And why don't you go outside.
Speaker 5: Cool off a little bit?
Speaker 1: And why don't you get.
Speaker 2: Some fresh air, some sunshine and start thinking about what
Speaker 2: you want to do with your career? Okay, better yet,
Speaker 2: if you're watching on peacock and why why not.
Speaker 1: Download the app? You can watch for free.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get you get the curtain, You get the curtain,
Speaker 2: You get the curtain.
Speaker 1: The conus silence has been placed over Fritzy.
Speaker 2: This is when he starts to panic. Hey, come on,
Speaker 2: come on, getting claustrophobic in here.
Speaker 7: Let's make find an anxiety talk here.
Speaker 2: Are you diagnosed as having an anxiety condition? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Of course.
Speaker 2: I think your mom did that your entire childhood, where
Speaker 2: she was the one that was diagnosing everything that was
Speaker 2: wrong with you.
Speaker 5: They're a very nervous boy. It's such a spelling.
Speaker 1: Test there, you're good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's much better.
Speaker 2: What's wrong with your microphone?
Speaker 5: Testing? Testing it all?
Speaker 4: Thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: Jason Jackson, who is the play by play voice for
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat, will join us. Coming up, what is
Speaker 2: it about this roster? Because you look at that roster,
Speaker 2: do you go, how are they doing it?
Speaker 1: But they did it?
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, you got to get give credit.
Speaker 2: Also a whole lot of blame to the Celtics because
Speaker 2: I'm watching, going, Jason Tatum, how is this possible?
Speaker 1: The fourth quarter?
Speaker 2: Didn't take a shot, A couple of turnovers there. God,
Speaker 2: they just drive you crazy with their inconsistency. Best team
Speaker 2: in the best team in the playoffs in my opinion,
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean they'll even make it to the
Speaker 2: NBA Finals.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean what this eight seed is doing
Speaker 3: is truly story. I mean, this is an eight seed
Speaker 3: we're talking about. I know, that's driving me crazy.
Speaker 2: I know, we're making it seem like this is you know,
Speaker 2: Baltimore County, you know, upsetting. You know, a sixteen seed
Speaker 2: winning like l I U.
Speaker 3: All of a sudden is beating the Lakers or something
Speaker 3: like it to Miami Heat. They chose to be practically
Speaker 3: in the eighth seed rather than.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they underachieved, but you know, don't let that get
Speaker 2: in the way of a good story.
Speaker 1: This is what we do in the media. Eat seed
Speaker 1: knocked off a one believable and eat seed?
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: Yes, The tenth seed in the West and the fourth
Speaker 4: seed in the West was a two game difference. Two
Speaker 4: wins or three wins would have put you from the
Speaker 4: tenth seed to the fourth seed.
Speaker 2: You know, it doesn't matter. Let's take a break, we'll
Speaker 2: come back after this. On the Dan Patrick Show, you've
Speaker 2: heard Howard Mackler of Innovation Refunds talk about get refunds

Speaker 1: With us PAULI about two minutes.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll talk to the play by play voice for
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat.
Speaker 1: So the pole question.
Speaker 3: We're going to go with is, I threw up literally
Speaker 3: best team in the NBA playoffs right now, just based
Speaker 3: off the statement you have just made it about the
Speaker 3: Celtics are the best team.
Speaker 1: Right now, the most talented team in the NBA, best.
Speaker 3: Team in the NBA playoffs right now. Celtics, Heat, Nuggets, Lakers.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, the Celtics are the most talented team.
Speaker 1: That mean they're the best.
Speaker 2: Team right now.
Speaker 3: Early voting seventy percent of the Nuggets.
Speaker 2: Well, they might be the best team the way they're playing,
Speaker 2: but the most talented team is the Celtics.
Speaker 3: Your Celtics are actually my Celtics. They're literally your Celtic.
Speaker 1: They're not my Celtics.
Speaker 3: They're last.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're losing to an eighth seeded Miami Heat team seed.
Speaker 4: I mean we're talking about an eight seed here, scrappy
Speaker 4: Miami Heat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, Yeah, they're not an eighth seed. They
Speaker 2: probably were an underachieving team during the regular season. That's
Speaker 2: the reason why they're an eighth seed. This guy would
Speaker 2: know all about it. Jason Jackson Junior, the third Miami
Speaker 2: Heat play by play voice. What were you expecting last
Speaker 2: night in Boston with your Miami Heat?
Speaker 8: Oh? My father, right now, this is so sad. Listen.
Speaker 10: Of the nineteen seasons that I've covered this team, this
Speaker 10: is the most one off experience that I've ever had
Speaker 10: in the sense of, here's a team that just missed
Speaker 10: the NBA Finals by a Jimmy Butler missed three.
Speaker 8: I mean, this is far off to the right.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that was it, And the entire team, for the
Speaker 10: most part, outside of PJ.
Speaker 8: Tucker, was brought back.
Speaker 10: And so you assume at the very least somewhere between
Speaker 10: one through four, like you're just taking his serratia. Other
Speaker 10: teams are gonna be better, other teams are not. There's
Speaker 10: gonna be some shifting. That's probably about it. And then
Speaker 10: a yured seven and oh Marry Yard seven ankle all
Speaker 10: the way through Jimmy Butler and management on his body,
Speaker 10: Kyle Lowry playing way too many minutes early because of
Speaker 10: the management of Jimmy's body to everybody having some sort
Speaker 10: of time spent out all of a sudden, the Miami
Speaker 10: Heat is the team that's missed the most games due
Speaker 10: to injury. Which it's not a headline for the Heat
Speaker 10: because the Heat don't want that to be a headline.
Speaker 8: But that's a reality. Availability is a that's a real thing.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and then some bad losses, I'll admit that along
Speaker 10: the way. So I mean just some home losses here
Speaker 10: and there. But then as what happens. I think with
Speaker 10: any team that has that type of chemistry, the desire
Speaker 10: to get back to where they were, if not trying
Speaker 10: to get beyond that, it just got better dan along
Speaker 10: the way. And fortunately this team is playing its best
Speaker 10: basketball at the right time. The team didn't win more
Speaker 10: than three games in a row all season long.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now.
Speaker 8: Is just rolling.
Speaker 2: Okay, explain to us who Jimmy Butler is. Can you
Speaker 2: explain who Jimmy Butler is.
Speaker 10: I've tried to figure it out now in four years
Speaker 10: because I'm wondering. I'm like, is Jimmy complex or is
Speaker 10: it just super simple? All he ever talks about is
Speaker 10: one guard somebody. It's very tom Ball Texas right, very
Speaker 10: very outside of Houston mentality. We're not gonna talk about
Speaker 10: defensive schemes. We're not gonna talk about rotations, not gonna
Speaker 10: have about you know, help the helper go hard somebody.
Speaker 10: And then on the other end he talks about playing
Speaker 10: the right way, which we've heard forever, but for him,
Speaker 10: it's not necessarily a thirty plus point night.
Speaker 8: It's what ended up happening as well.
Speaker 10: Six guys in double figures and him looking and feeling
Speaker 10: out the defense first, helping out other guys build their confidence.
Speaker 10: So when you need big shots late, guys aren't being
Speaker 10: called upon to do something they're not comfortable doing. And
Speaker 10: that's how we rather play. And Dan he doesn't need us.
Speaker 10: That's the other thing he can't stand.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 10: And it's not like this faux lack of desire to
Speaker 10: get on a microphone. It is a pure, I think,
Speaker 10: disdain for having to do it. And that's part of
Speaker 10: this era. By the way, they're gonna get a lot
Speaker 10: of this going forward as you and I play the
Speaker 10: second nine our of our careers.
Speaker 8: I think more and more because of social.
Speaker 10: Media and guy's ability to have when you make forty
Speaker 10: million dollars a year.
Speaker 8: You can have some staff and you can get out
Speaker 8: whatever you want.
Speaker 10: So if you want to sell coffee, you don't need
Speaker 10: to come on to the Dan Patrick Show to sell
Speaker 10: your coffee.
Speaker 2: Can But is.
Speaker 1: He a tough guy to play with?
Speaker 2: If you look at what happened in Philly, in Minnesota,
Speaker 2: in Chicago, I mean, he's a Hall of Famer on
Speaker 2: his fourth team and he plays at a high level.
Speaker 2: I just wonder what happened with these other stops, and
Speaker 2: is that going to happen in Miami.
Speaker 10: You can't be tougher than the experience in Miami, simply
Speaker 10: because there's just too much certainty. Twenty seven years of
Speaker 10: pat Riley as the president, thirty five years of the
Speaker 10: same family, the Arison's owning the team.
Speaker 8: Eric Spolstra in his fifteenth season.
Speaker 10: As the head coaches in his twenty seventh season in
Speaker 10: the organization. I've been a broadcaster for this team for
Speaker 10: almost twenty years and I'm still not senior, you know.
Speaker 10: So it's there's just way too much certainty in the
Speaker 10: organization everywhere around to tougher than what the organization calls for.
Speaker 10: And I think that's finally a thriving moment for him.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the roster and there's a great quote.
Speaker 2: Being bad in the NBA is a choice. Talent is
Speaker 2: everywhere with the right eye, and that is pat Riley.
Speaker 2: You got Caleb Martin undrafted, Max Strusse undrafted, Gave Vinson undrafted,
Speaker 2: Duncan Robinson undrafted. You got Bam fourteenth overall, Tyler Hero
Speaker 2: thirteenth pick, Kevin Love on his last leg. You Donnis
Speaker 2: Haslam on the bench. I mean, you're looking at this
Speaker 2: and you're going, it doesn't make sense. I just said,
Speaker 2: I thought the Celtics have the most talented team left
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. And then you're watching the second half
Speaker 2: and you're going, wait, which team was the eighth seed
Speaker 2: and which team was the you know, one of the
Speaker 2: best teams in the East. Hard to explain sometimes.
Speaker 10: If you just take that next look under the dermis
Speaker 10: is that And we've learned this about pat Riley as
Speaker 10: an executive for almost thirty years now, is that he'd
Speaker 10: rather have somebody that either one has experience or two
Speaker 10: has something to prove that he listen, you have to
Speaker 10: have stars, you have to have guys that are blue ship.
Speaker 10: And along the way he's had several cats that have
Speaker 10: been picked rather high, but sometimes he goes gets them
Speaker 10: from other teams too, and so by trading and using
Speaker 10: free agency and the buyout market, he doesn't mind. I
Speaker 10: think what Pat has enjoyed the most. And then this
Speaker 10: entire front office with Andy Ellisberg and Adam Simon is
Speaker 10: it's the flexibility on the roster, like don't lock yourself
Speaker 10: in all the way down to player seventeen. I mean,
Speaker 10: And they worry about the two ways now at a
Speaker 10: high level because what they're doing is we'll develop someone
Speaker 10: first of all, financially sound right locked into a number.
Speaker 10: We'll develop someone over two to four years, rather than
Speaker 10: having somebody that has to go in here and then
Speaker 10: the year three if they're not already a star and
Speaker 10: people are trying to run you out of town. And
Speaker 10: that combination has worked. So when you look at this roster, yeah,
Speaker 10: you still got lottery picks like Bam and uh and
Speaker 10: Tyler in the mix. But like you said, said, I mean,
Speaker 10: Jimmy was the last pick in the first round in.
Speaker 2: His draft, Ken Tyler, is there any possibility he could
Speaker 2: play in the Eastern Conference Finals?
Speaker 10: From a date standpoint, from the press release to the
Speaker 10: actual date. He could play in game seven. But then
Speaker 10: you know, it's like you know, back in the day
Speaker 10: when you used to you know, come down Avon Mountain
Speaker 10: into the valley there in Connecticut.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're you're reaching and teaching.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's how it used to work, baby. I mean
Speaker 8: you're that jab step was sick. Boy.
Speaker 1: You saw it. You saw the understand how a dateon flies?
Speaker 2: You saw.
Speaker 1: Ship Yeah, pree, So no preach.
Speaker 10: Stake, But you can't come in there trying to get
Speaker 10: you win when you didn't play for a couple of weeks, right, Yeah,
Speaker 10: And even though you know he's a young fella and
Speaker 10: he could score on all three levels and he you
Speaker 10: twenty points a night, you're not.
Speaker 8: Gonna just shove that away. He hasn't done any dribbling
Speaker 8: or shooting yet.
Speaker 10: The great thing about if there is a great thing
Speaker 10: about breaking your hand, it is that you can do
Speaker 10: other stuff, but you're doing it on a bike. You're
Speaker 10: not doing it at game level. I think if this
Speaker 10: team is blessed to head to the finals, I think
Speaker 10: that's more realistic than if there is a Game seven.
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you so almost man.
Speaker 10: This is the mere fact that the Miami heat put
Speaker 10: me back in position, I know, to get Fritz on
Speaker 10: an email.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to get you Yeah.
Speaker 8: To just dedicate yourself to service the way that.
Speaker 2: You do it. I do, I do serve it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Man, who's picking out the suits.
Speaker 2: By the way that Craig Seger's leftovers that you're.
Speaker 8: No, you know better than that. I don't.
Speaker 10: I'll spend a great deal of money on anything other
Speaker 10: than retirement.
Speaker 8: Because I'm gonna be at sea. You understand that I am.
Speaker 2: Oh you are, okay, seaman.
Speaker 10: Yes, i am a man of the sea, and I'm
Speaker 10: looking forward to the twilight of my life out on
Speaker 10: the ocean.
Speaker 2: And so I just in a boat, double in a boat, yes, yes, okay, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't know.
Speaker 10: My golf game has not gotten any better over twenty
Speaker 10: five years. So I turned to the ocean now. But
Speaker 10: I will spend some.
Speaker 2: Change, okay, at the habitashery.
Speaker 8: And you know better, don't you try.
Speaker 1: To make no, no, no, no, You're bringing it.
Speaker 2: Absolutely you are. You're bringing it.
Speaker 10: Listen, you see where that hairline went. Yeah, So I
Speaker 10: might as well keep you know, my ind scene.
Speaker 2: If the heat advance, We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 2: I can't wait, all right, go back to bed. Jason
Speaker 2: Jackson Junior the third he's Miami Heat played by Playboss,
Speaker 2: And I don't know what's going on in that hotel room,
Speaker 2: no lights on, it was just dark.
Speaker 4: Blair Witch Project that look.
Speaker 5: Light up on its head, scared ye fall.
Speaker 4: That may have been my worst movie experience compared to
Speaker 4: what I was expecting going in. You know what, remember
Speaker 4: the one movie Blair Witch Project, for those who don't know,
Speaker 4: is like this indie scary movie fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2: Well it was treated as if it was a documentary. Yes,
Speaker 2: but it was just well done.
Speaker 4: Oh it was. It was well done.
Speaker 1: Oh you didn't like blair Witch at all?
Speaker 4: One of the least scary scary movies I've ever seen.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, orderline annoying?
Speaker 1: Okay, anybody else have that reaction?
Speaker 3: I thought it was awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah I did too.
Speaker 3: Oh I thought it was great.
Speaker 4: Do you think I got too built up?
Speaker 3: Like definitely?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh you can.
Speaker 2: I mean that happens all the time and somebody goes,
Speaker 2: you got to see it, and then you go, okay,
Speaker 2: I'll see it.
Speaker 3: It was just so creative too, just the way that
Speaker 3: they did it, you know, the whole idea of finding
Speaker 3: these tapes, and it's just unedited. You know, I liked
Speaker 3: super creative.
Speaker 2: I liked it. I thought it was I didn't see it.
Speaker 2: I know then, I did not see that. Of course
Speaker 2: you did.
Speaker 4: It was Blair Witch Project for the cinema.
Speaker 2: Now if it was Selma Blair Witch Project, it's a
Speaker 2: different story. Like, okay, all right, I'll watch that.
Speaker 3: It was like w H I c h which there
Speaker 3: you go?
Speaker 5: He no like discovering Yeah, okay, what is that?
Speaker 2: Yeahs Selma Blair. A couple of phone calls here, Let's
Speaker 2: see Doug in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Doug.
Speaker 2: How are you well?
Speaker 6: This is not why I was calling, but I threw
Speaker 6: up and got sick after watching the Blair Wisch prov
Speaker 6: Project in a movie theater. It really I don't know.
Speaker 6: I was reaching for gramamol most in watching that, but
Speaker 6: I was. I was calling to give you a hot
Speaker 6: take on golf. I think it's time that the PGA
Speaker 6: Championship is no longer considered a major. Maybe you replace it,
Speaker 6: uh with the TPC and FLO But because when they
Speaker 6: moved it from the summer, we used to be their
Speaker 6: identity was it's the last chance of glory? What is
Speaker 6: its identity now? The Masters it's the course, The US Open,
Speaker 6: it's the challenge, the British Open, it's the history. The
Speaker 6: PGA Championship doesn't seem to have an identity, and I
Speaker 6: just think the fact that we haven't talked about it
Speaker 6: this week, I think it's time to change it and
Speaker 6: find a new fourth major.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you dog. Yeah, it's sort of got
Speaker 2: lost because it used to be at the end of
Speaker 2: the golf year this summer and you'd have the PGA Championship,
Speaker 2: like if you didn't win a major, you got one
Speaker 2: more chance. You'd be the PGA Championship. And we've seen
Speaker 2: more random winners, i think, with the PGA Championship than
Speaker 2: we have with the other events. But it's at a
Speaker 2: great golf course. It's just, you know, maybe gets a
Speaker 2: little bit lost. NBA Finals, Stanley Cup playoffs going on,
Speaker 2: there's always football going on, and it's sort of kind
Speaker 2: of tucked in there.
Speaker 4: Yes, poll, Yeah, The Masters is in April now, the
Speaker 4: pj is in May, the US Open in June like
Speaker 4: usual generally, and the British Open is July. PGHB after that,
Speaker 4: isn't the big problem with the PGA. The title PG
Speaker 4: Championship sounds very generic and benign. It's not cool. It
Speaker 4: needs a name, like if you call it the Wannamaker,
Speaker 4: Is that the trophy? Yeah, if you called it the
Speaker 4: Wannamaker Open, because it's mysterious.
Speaker 2: What is that about? PGA Championship sounds like it could
Speaker 2: be the professional like the the teaching pros. Yeah, PGA
Speaker 2: Professionals of America.
Speaker 4: It needs a cool name.
Speaker 7: Oh no, my son thought the Players Championship is a
Speaker 7: major because that's actually even a cooler name than the
Speaker 7: PGA Championship.
Speaker 2: That's that's the fifth majors. They like to say. All right,
Speaker 2: Shannon in Indiana, Hi, Shannon, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11: More than banatt?
Speaker 2: I hope you all have a good day. Yes, we all,
Speaker 2: thank you? Alright?
Speaker 11: Yeah, with with all this going on.
Speaker 2: And there you go, it's true, Yeah, it is true
Speaker 2: with all of this going on.
Speaker 3: Thin dot dot Yeah.
Speaker 2: Man, what do you think Shannon and Indiana was going
Speaker 2: to say? There? With all this stuff going on?
Speaker 3: Right, what was he? What was the end of that?
Speaker 3: And with all this going on?
Speaker 4: What is this? Is the NBA Playoffs? Let's start there.
Speaker 2: It could have been the frost at the PGA, champl right,
Speaker 2: global warming, something.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it could be, you know, with all
Speaker 3: this going on, I'm just glad to have you guys
Speaker 3: doing this show.
Speaker 1: Okay, you guys have gotten.
Speaker 2: Through, got through. Yeah yeah, yeah, yes, time.
Speaker 7: With all this stuff going on, we're not giving any
Speaker 7: attention to Djokovic losing to that twenty year old for
Speaker 7: like the second time.
Speaker 5: Maybe you want to get a little tennis in there.
Speaker 5: Djokovic was upset recently.
Speaker 2: And upset upset that he lost. Yeah, very yeah, very upset.
Speaker 2: City boy in Lake Tahoe, My city boy.
Speaker 11: Morning, mister Patrick, my city boy, good money, Good morning,
Speaker 11: do you hear me? Yeah, good morning, first time, long time.
Speaker 11: I've been listening since when Remember the Mothership used to
Speaker 11: make you start honoring your commercial breaks way back in
Speaker 11: the day. Okay, yeah, anyway, talking about the Joker and
Speaker 11: I thank you were talking about the other day. I
Speaker 11: had never really followed the Joker too much, and I
Speaker 11: did without question MVP for this year based on what
Speaker 11: I've seen him and gets him an MB. I'd like
Speaker 11: to see what your thoughts.
Speaker 1: Were on that. Well, it's over.
Speaker 2: It was the regular season let's call him my grade
Speaker 2: a month ago. I mean, he could win the MVP
Speaker 2: if he wins the NBA Finals, but you know, the
Speaker 2: voting is already over, and you know, sometimes we'll look
Speaker 2: at what happens to an MVP when he gets to
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and therefore Joe Ellenbiid bounds out. You know,
Speaker 2: this whole what happened with the seventy six ers I
Speaker 2: find interesting. We'll take a break. I want to talk
Speaker 2: about this. Daryl Morey, the GM, he was the one
Speaker 2: who fired Doc Rivers, but Joe Ellenbiid loves Doc Rivers.
Speaker 2: Do you go to Joel Embiid and say, hey, I'm
Speaker 2: doing this. Do you go to Joel Embiid and saying
Speaker 2: what do you think about this? Like the etiquette of
Speaker 2: talking to a star player? If you're going to make
Speaker 2: a change. More phone calls coming up. We'll take a break.
Speaker 2: We're back after this. Thanks for listening to The Dan
Speaker 2: Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every
Speaker 2: weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific

Speaker 12: more about the stories about what made these people love
Speaker 12: their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.

Speaker 8: Check this out.
Speaker 10: Three lefts all the shot hockey elevates for three clean?
Speaker 8: Did it about stopping in?
Speaker 10: Shimmy Butler has lost his mind? Thirty four points, two
Speaker 10: of four from the Land of Milk and Honey.
Speaker 2: That's courtesy of seven ninety the ticket Miami Heat Radio Network.
Speaker 2: Jason Jackson with the call. Butler finished with thirty five.
Speaker 2: He scored thirty five or more thirteen times in the
Speaker 2: playoffs as a member of the Miami Heat. That's one
Speaker 2: shy of Dwayne Wade's franchise record. That's your play of
Speaker 2: the day, brought to you by the great folks at
Speaker 2: MCGO wires, their new hybrid ceramic tire Shine renews old
Speaker 2: tires by darkening the appearance, adding long lasting high gloss
Speaker 2: and keeping it shining even when exposed. And honor. Give
Speaker 2: McGuire's hybrid ceramic tire shin to try McGuire's reflect your passion.
Speaker 2: Doc Rivers was fired yesterday and Daryl Morey, the Sixers
Speaker 2: general manager, met with the media yesterday and he talked
Speaker 2: about moving forward, whose decision it was, and how Joel
Speaker 2: Embiid took the news that Doc had been fired.
Speaker 13: I think it's natural to be very close with the
Speaker 13: people in the locker room. He is very close with
Speaker 13: Coach Rivers. Yeah, he was shocked about the change, and
Speaker 13: it's my job to help convince him that the new
Speaker 13: coach is someone that he'll have a great relationship with
Speaker 13: as well.
Speaker 2: When do you run it by Joe Ellenbiid? Do you
Speaker 2: run it by him after you've made the decision or before?
Speaker 2: Do you give me a heads up that you're going
Speaker 2: to fire Doc Rivers? Do you allow him to have
Speaker 2: a say in this, because he does love Doc Rivers?
Speaker 2: At what point, if you're in the front office, do
Speaker 2: you go to your star player or players and say
Speaker 2: we're thinking of doing this, because it sounds like Matt
Speaker 2: Ishbia with the Phoenix Suns at least conferred with Devin
Speaker 2: Booker and Kevin Durant about firing Manty Williams and that
Speaker 2: they were okay with this. I don't know what happened
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee, Mike Budenholzer, but you know these are these
Speaker 2: are good teams, good situations. And then Doc Rivers, you're
Speaker 2: going to move on from him? And uh, Daryl Morey said, look,
Speaker 2: I pulled the trigger. I made the call. I fired
Speaker 2: Doc Rivers. He was my recommendation, and I decided that
Speaker 2: we were going to move on from him. But I
Speaker 2: don't know at what point. And it's a you know,
Speaker 2: it's a dangerous precedent when you're going to go to
Speaker 2: somebody and say, hey, what do you think I think
Speaker 2: if if you're helping the team deferring money, like Tom Brady,
Speaker 2: it felt like he should have been in at least conversations.
Speaker 2: Now how many other Patrick mahomes right, A couple of
Speaker 2: rings deferring money, going to help you out? Do you
Speaker 2: go to him? When do you go to him? What
Speaker 2: happens if you say, hey, at some point, we're going
Speaker 2: to have to release Travis Kelcey. Hey, it just doesn't
Speaker 2: make sense, or we want to bring in this offensive lineman.
Speaker 2: What do you think, Like, at what point do you
Speaker 2: then or do you a at all? Because once again,
Speaker 2: if you go down that road and you go, hey,
Speaker 2: we're thinking about or what do you think about doing this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Martin, isn't when.
Speaker 9: You start winning rings is when they start asking you
Speaker 9: what do you think about this?
Speaker 5: Rather than Hey, I know you're the MVP, but you're
Speaker 5: just the MVP.
Speaker 2: Well, you know Deshaun Watson that input in Houston after
Speaker 2: what second year, which was crazy for the coaching search.
Speaker 2: Remember he was upset that they didn't bring in Eric
Speaker 2: the enemy and that started the rift or you know,
Speaker 2: added to the rift between those two. I just think
Speaker 2: you you know, remember the Packers did they talk to
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers about what he wanted them to do in
Speaker 2: the draft and then all of a sudden, it's like
Speaker 2: we're drafting your replacement. You know, It's not like you go, hey, Eric,
Speaker 2: come here. If Jordan loves available, we're going to take
Speaker 2: him in the first round. How do you think that
Speaker 2: conversation would have gone over? Probably not too well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, pull it seems like you got to pick the
Speaker 4: least awkward situation, because if Daryl Morey goes to Joel
Speaker 4: and be, hey, I just want to give you run
Speaker 4: this by you. We're thinking about firing Doc Rivers and
Speaker 4: he goes no, no, no, no, no no no, then
Speaker 4: you have a real situation if it's awkward. If you
Speaker 4: give him a heads up, we're firing Doc Rivers in
Speaker 4: an hour, I'll let you know before the media notes,
Speaker 4: before anybody knows this is our decision. I want to
Speaker 4: make sure you're included beforehand, but not no input. Yes,
Speaker 4: that's less I think that's less dangerous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why is it such a taboo thought of owners
Speaker 3: and gms having like open communication with players about whether
Speaker 3: it's the coach being hired or fired, or what players
Speaker 3: they might bring in or things like that.
Speaker 2: Well, at what age do I bring you into the
Speaker 2: conversation If you're twenty like Joe Burrow's what twenty five
Speaker 2: do I bring him into the conversation of this is
Speaker 2: what we're going to Hey, we're not going to take
Speaker 2: an offensive lineman, we're going to take your teammate from LSU,
Speaker 2: or we're not going to take your teammate from LSU.
Speaker 2: We're going to take an offensive, Lineman. I don't know
Speaker 2: what that sliding scale is where you go, all right,
Speaker 2: You've earned the right to have a seat at the
Speaker 2: big boy table.
Speaker 1: So I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I would think that you would want someone's
Speaker 3: input depending on who the player is on their teammates.
Speaker 3: Can you play with this guy or not? Why does
Speaker 3: a scout have to say yes, they will play together? Okay,
Speaker 3: but if I get input, that's different. I still have
Speaker 3: to make the decision, Like, I'll respect your input, but
Speaker 3: I have to make you know a decision. I can't
Speaker 3: give you veto power as a star player. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't know, right well, I mean I feel like some
Speaker 3: players would have that, like Steph Curry should Steph Curry
Speaker 3: should have veto power. Hell no, not that dude, In
Speaker 3: no way. Lebron James absolutely should.
Speaker 4: He actually starts a conversation he called the GM. I'm
Speaker 4: going to give you a heads up. Here's who I'm bringing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm bringing in Russell Westbrook. Just want to give
Speaker 2: you a heads up here, Yes, DoD.
Speaker 7: But a sensitive player might have it like, oh, you
Speaker 7: respect me enough to just kind of include me and
Speaker 7: looking for my ideas.
Speaker 5: But ultimately you're going to do what you want anyway,
Speaker 5: so you know.
Speaker 2: We don't want to give you a heads up. But
Speaker 2: I would also if you're going to ask Joe Burrow, hey,
Speaker 2: you played against this guy, what do you think of him? Hey,
Speaker 2: he played on your team at LSU, what do you think?
Speaker 2: Then I would be crazy not to consider that. I
Speaker 2: just if you want to Aaron Rodgers and you said, look,
Speaker 2: we're gonna cut your good buddy David Bokdiari, Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: might fight for him to stay on the roster because
Speaker 2: he's his buddy, and it might not be the right decision.
Speaker 2: I remember Michael Jordan when he first started with the Bulls.
Speaker 2: He wanted to bring in players that management said, no,
Speaker 2: we're not bringing in Walder Davis.
Speaker 1: Walter Davis is old, he's got bad knees.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: Mike wanted to keep Charles Oakley and they're like, no,
Speaker 2: we're not keeping Charles Oakley. Yeah.
Speaker 3: See, but say, say Aaron Rodgers and you go to
Speaker 3: him and say we're gonna get rid of David Baktieri,
Speaker 3: and he fights for him, and then they say, well,
Speaker 3: we're doing it anyway.
Speaker 2: Sorry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna be upset.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Or they could just cut David Bottieri without giving him
Speaker 3: any heads up whatsoever, and he's going to be upset.
Speaker 2: Well. No, either way, I could give him my heads
Speaker 2: up that we're going to fire, or we're gonna cut
Speaker 2: David Bottieri.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's worse.
Speaker 2: I don't run it by you, or I do run
Speaker 2: it by and then we cut your friend, I.
Speaker 3: Would say, with a guy like Aaron Rodgers, clearly not
Speaker 3: giving him a heads up is way worse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely worse. I would think that star players earn
Speaker 2: that a heads up. Joel Embiid is probably not too
Speaker 2: pleased with Daryl Moray for firing Doc Rivers, But that's
Speaker 2: where Darryl Moury has got to smooth this over and
Speaker 2: say no, no, we're going to get the right coach
Speaker 2: for you to take you to the next level. Our
Speaker 2: two coming up. More phone calls. Update on the PGA
Speaker 2: Championship
