Speaker 5: were so angry about Anthony Davis being my starting center
Speaker 5: and my all time starting five.
Speaker 4: Forgive me.
Speaker 2: I think it might have been for another reason, but
Speaker 2: that is another reason that was egregious on your part.

Speaker 2: And if your high Point or VCU, all you want
Speaker 2: is can we make it through the weekend? Can we
Speaker 2: get that exposure for our team? You want one week
Speaker 2: where you get all that recognition, and if high Point
Speaker 2: were to win another game or VCU to win another game,
Speaker 2: then you get the following week where you're going to
Speaker 2: have your coach being interviewed on Sports Center. You're going
Speaker 2: to get all of this notoriety. People are just finding
Speaker 2: out about high Point, and high Point is an interesting school.
Speaker 2: They actually have a steakhouse on campus. I think they
Speaker 2: have free ice cream on campus too.
Speaker 6: Yes, Paulie, high Point has been a bougie hot school
Speaker 6: for a while in the culture. You know, they have
Speaker 6: an ice cream stand, they have a steakhouse, and it
Speaker 6: all got exposed yesterday.
Speaker 4: For those who just.
Speaker 2: Learned about high Point, here is the call as high
Speaker 2: Point pulls off the surprise against Wisconsin.
Speaker 7: Und seconds. Boy, waunt it inside six seconds? Yeah, boy,
Speaker 7: they launched your court.
Speaker 8: Therella set of trailing.
Speaker 2: All right, that's the high Point University Student Radio having
Speaker 2: some fun. Somewhere in there, there's a description of what
Speaker 2: happened at the end of the game. This is how
Speaker 2: it sounded on Westwood One. Just stop at side, reverse layup,
Speaker 2: no good, plea out at side, bark shot ahead to
Speaker 2: the run the basket.
Speaker 8: Ten seconds to go, rody with the inbound the boy
Speaker 8: in a time ou't taking by high Point before the inbound.
Speaker 2: So Westwood one Radio Chase Johnston, one of my favorite players.
Speaker 2: His first two point bucket of the year. All he
Speaker 2: does is shoot threes. But in that moment, the game
Speaker 2: winning basket a two pointer. Uh, Robbie Avila was Saint
Speaker 2: Louis cream abdul Jabbar. See, you get these these players
Speaker 2: and we always look back. We're still looking back at
Speaker 2: Ali Farukmnesh Fennis Denbo.
Speaker 3: Who was there was another player?
Speaker 2: Trying to think maybe he played at Wyoming as well
Speaker 2: or Montana.
Speaker 4: Do you think it?
Speaker 6: Herald the show Arsenal Yeah, Weaver.
Speaker 2: State, Oh, Weaver State, Yeah, good call, good poll. Yes,
Speaker 2: Marvin RJ. Hunter, George, you were just stay with his dad.
Speaker 2: Well his dad was more famous than him.
Speaker 4: Correct, but he was the guy that was hitting the shots.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yeah, Georgia Southern is that right?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we'll get phone calls coming up eight
Speaker 2: seven to seven to three. DP show email address Dpat
Speaker 2: Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show. Flynn Klayman
Speaker 2: is the high Point head coach, and he was pretty vocal.
Speaker 3: After the win against Wisconsin.
Speaker 9: That's pretty obvious to me that something needs to be
Speaker 9: done about this non conference scheduling. High Point in Miami,
Speaker 9: Ohio or two to oh and quad one games. We
Speaker 9: couldn't get games. They couldn't get games. Ackeran couldn't get games.
Speaker 9: UNCW couldn't get games. Belmont couldn't get games. We won
Speaker 9: twenty two of our last twenty three games, and we
Speaker 9: didn't move up one spot in the metrics, not one.
Speaker 9: We won twenty two of our twenty three. We've won
Speaker 9: twenty five games by double digits. That team, right there
Speaker 9: is a fantastic team that'd bet five top ten teams.
Speaker 3: If we can get.
Speaker 9: Games like this on neutral courts and some home games,
Speaker 9: I think we know who's really the best teams. I'm
Speaker 9: proud of these dudes. And we're not just here to
Speaker 9: win one game. We're here to get at sweet sixteen.
Speaker 2: All right, I understand it, And yes, you want to
Speaker 2: get games. You're not going to get neutral site and
Speaker 2: you're not going to get home games because put yourself
Speaker 2: in Wisconsin situation. Would you go to High Point to
Speaker 2: play a game? And the answer is no. You play
Speaker 2: a rigorous schedule in the Big Ten. Now do I
Speaker 2: like that Belmont and high Point in some of these
Speaker 2: other schools Miami, Ohio don't get to test themselves. No,
Speaker 2: I don't like that. But I'm just looking at the
Speaker 2: business side of all of this. If you play a
Speaker 2: demanding schedule, do you want to go on the road
Speaker 2: against a very dangerous team?
Speaker 10: Now?
Speaker 3: Do you want to test yourself?
Speaker 2: Sure, but everybody is scrambling, everybody's trying to improve their rating,
Speaker 2: their ranking, all of that and a neutral site isn't
Speaker 2: going to happen. The only way this happens is if
Speaker 2: high Point would get invited to the Maui Invitational something
Speaker 2: like that. But it's not gonna happen now. It's more
Speaker 2: of the have and the have nots. Your moment is
Speaker 2: right now when you get in the tournament and nobody
Speaker 2: conduct you. They can't Hot Wisconsin can't say we don't
Speaker 2: want to play high Point. I mean, high Point is
Speaker 2: a very good team, an exciting team. They score points,
Speaker 2: they put pressure on you. But got to be honest though,
Speaker 2: if I'm Wisconsin, I'm not gonna play a home game
Speaker 2: at high Point. I'm not going to play a neutral
Speaker 2: site game against them either.
Speaker 6: Yeah, pulling, But we've talked about this for years with
Speaker 6: college football, that there's not a scheduling ZAR to build storylines.
Speaker 6: Can you imagine if college basketball had a scheduling ZAR
Speaker 6: and next year high Point opens at Wisconsin or vice versa.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you don't have the same players on the team.
Speaker 2: So yes, you can say, hey, it's a rematch when
Speaker 2: it's really not unless you have your core players. They
Speaker 2: have their core players, then maybe, but it doesn't work
Speaker 2: that way.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 2: And Iowa and LSU played in women's championship game, and
Speaker 2: then I said you got to open up the next
Speaker 2: year with Iowa and LSU. Well, the core of those
Speaker 2: teams was still going to be there next year because
Speaker 2: of women's basketball. They're not going pro with men's. It's
Speaker 2: just interchangeable shifting. I mean, you could have somebody at
Speaker 2: high Point on Wisconsin next year because they saw that
Speaker 2: player playing, go why don't we just take him? Speaking
Speaker 2: of money, aj Debanza got somewhere between five and seven
Speaker 2: million dollars from BYU.
Speaker 3: Now he's a wonderful player.
Speaker 2: He is Sean Miller, Texas head coach, being interviewed, Hey,
Speaker 2: what can you do with Aj Debanza? Basically nothing, because
Speaker 2: you're watching somebody who's just passing through college basketball, and
Speaker 2: he was a wonderful player this entire season. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you say, boy, we got our money's worth there.
Speaker 2: He had thirty five and ten and the first freshman
Speaker 2: with thirty or more points in the NCAA tournament debut
Speaker 2: since Steph Curry back in two thousand and seven. Staut
Speaker 2: of the day, Not you bon Panini America. So, according
Speaker 2: to Front Office Sports DEBANSA was paid between five and
Speaker 2: seven million dollars to go to BYU. They won twenty
Speaker 2: three games, they had a five hundred record in conference,
Speaker 2: a number six seed, and a first round exit. Is
Speaker 2: that worth five to seven million dollars? I guess it's
Speaker 2: in the eye of the be holder. Yes, Marvin, what
Speaker 2: a thing was?
Speaker 5: He did what was expected of him, you know, the
Speaker 5: team's success. He was like, hey, it's not my fault,
Speaker 5: we didn't have enough good players.
Speaker 2: Watching Sienna against Duke yesterday afternoon and Jerry McNamara, Siena
Speaker 2: head coach, at least for the time being, he played
Speaker 2: his starters, you know, virtually the entire game, and I
Speaker 2: like what he was trying to do.
Speaker 3: He was rolling the dice.
Speaker 2: He was saying, we can maybe steal this, that my
Speaker 2: starting five is pretty good and if we, you know,
Speaker 2: get hot, you know, we can put some pressure on them,
Speaker 2: which is exactly what they did.
Speaker 3: They were up thirteen at one point, but then you
Speaker 3: saw the shots.
Speaker 2: I'm always looking for shots, and when guys play a
Speaker 2: lot of minutes, I want to see what your misses
Speaker 2: look like. And they were hitting the front iron. They
Speaker 2: were tired, and I think they subbed with like ten
Speaker 2: seconds to go. But Siena nearly pulled off one of
Speaker 2: the greatest upsets in NCAA history, knocking off number one,
Speaker 2: top seeded Duke. It's fun, but it's a neutral site,
Speaker 2: different times of the day and night, and you get
Speaker 2: these kids where you're supposed to win these games or
Speaker 2: you're not supposed to win these games, and you see
Speaker 2: the confidence grow or you see the doubts start to
Speaker 2: creep in for those who are supposed to win.
Speaker 3: Happen every year. That's the beauty of March madness.
Speaker 5: Yes, Marvin, and especially in these David Versus Goliath matchups.
Speaker 5: It's all Division one basketball players. So some of these
Speaker 5: guys were probably under recruited and now they want to
Speaker 5: show the big schools and don't we're just as good
Speaker 5: as you guys. We just were recruited as heavy as
Speaker 5: you guys at Duke or North Carolina or wherever else.
Speaker 3: Yep, it was fun. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: I mentioned that the eleven six was the new twelve
Speaker 2: to five, but high point as a twelve taking down
Speaker 2: Wisconsin VCU and eleven with their win against North Carolina
Speaker 2: Texas and eleven against number six BYU. So both elevens
Speaker 2: ended up winning and one of the twelves ended up
Speaker 2: winning as well. But this is what happens in the
Speaker 2: beginning of the tournament every single year, and it would
Speaker 2: be the same this year. As far as today and tonight,
Speaker 2: there'll be one or two surprises. There'll be one or
Speaker 2: two players where you go, man, I've fallen in love
Speaker 2: with his game. Well, that's a great story, or that's
Speaker 2: a fun team. What's poll question today, Seaton? We got
Speaker 2: a few options here.
Speaker 12: Todd has actually submitted what I would consider to be
Speaker 12: and you're perfect, Todd Fritz. Oh my god, it's the
Speaker 12: exact right amount of Todd. Okay, what was the high
Speaker 12: point of yesterday? What was the high point of yesterday?
Speaker 12: Is a high point beating Wisconsin, Sienna, putting a scare
Speaker 12: into Duke Texas, taking down AJ Debanta, and BYU VCU
Speaker 12: coming back down nineteen to.
Speaker 10: Beat North Carolina.
Speaker 12: What was your high point of yesterday?
Speaker 2: I would say VCU against North Carolina because you're down
Speaker 2: nineteen and you end up coming back. I mean, that's
Speaker 2: one of those I'd like to say it's more about VCU,
Speaker 2: but man, it might be an indictment on Hubert Davis.
Speaker 2: Free throws missed. Now you don't have your best player.
Speaker 2: You got a lottery pick who wasn't playing, but you should.
Speaker 2: You should still, well, you're up nineteen, you should still
Speaker 2: win that game. But that is not a good look
Speaker 2: for Hubert Davis. Once again, big shout out to Heartland
Speaker 2: State Co. They have provided all the meat here for
Speaker 2: our meat Fridays, So thank you guys doing it every
Speaker 2: Meat Friday for us. Even some questionable meat Fridays, they
Speaker 2: still provide. They live up to their end of the bargain.
Speaker 2: They're sort of the aj Debanza when it comes to
Speaker 2: providing the meeting. He'll be complimented, but Dylan, you know
Speaker 2: it's up to him to raise his game as the
Speaker 2: resident chef. After what happened last week in the most
Speaker 2: controversial Meat Friday, I believe in our show's history. Although
Speaker 2: I thought it was very tasty, the Indian food but
Speaker 2: we're back now. I told him you got to make
Speaker 2: a comeba here and and he did so. Heartland Steakco.

Speaker 2: Luca drops an oh by the way, sixty Lebron and oh,
Speaker 2: by the way, triple double. They're chanting MVP for Luca
Speaker 2: in Miami last night. I believe is that right, Marvin?
Speaker 4: They're not the most rabid fan base in Miami.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, just saying that was a little bit surprising.
Speaker 3: But you know what, I.
Speaker 2: Checked the odds, second best odds to win the MVP.
Speaker 2: Right now, it's Luca behind SGA. How about we take
Speaker 2: a break here back after this and the Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2: your phone calls? First day of our Bracket Challenge, the

Speaker 2: is leading the first day of our Bracket Challenge. Last
Speaker 2: place is Rebecca Lowe from the Premier League on NBC.

Speaker 2: just saying Fritzie is in there and Jason Garrett, Melissa Stark,
Speaker 2: Darius Rucker, they're all tied for second place. But it's early.
Speaker 2: It's one day speaking of the tournament. He's Adam Lefko,
Speaker 2: TNT sports studio host, co host.
Speaker 3: Of The Big Podcast with Shaquill lou Neil.
Speaker 2: Whoa look, who's got a shirt and tie on today?
Speaker 3: That is not for this show?
Speaker 10: Are you know?
Speaker 3: Are you working?
Speaker 10: I'm going to take this right off afterwards, put on
Speaker 10: a black T shirt and go to work. How do
Speaker 10: you know that? You don't know that.
Speaker 2: I don't know that. But let me give you the
Speaker 2: full introduction. Adam Lefko hosting studio coverage from TNT in Atlanta.
Speaker 2: He's got Bruce Pearl, Jamal Mashburn, Jalen Rose, Seth Davis
Speaker 2: back in studio today at noon.
Speaker 10: I knew it.
Speaker 14: I knew it.
Speaker 2: You're already dressed, ready to go. You got two and
Speaker 2: a half hours ready. Can we start with the poll
Speaker 2: question for left Goo Seaton? Would you give him the
Speaker 2: first hour pole question?
Speaker 10: Sure?
Speaker 12: This is from Todd Fritz. What was your high point
Speaker 12: of yesterday? High point beating Wisconsin, Sienna, putting a scare
Speaker 12: into Duke Texas, taking down AJDVANSA and BYU or VCU,
Speaker 12: coming back down nineteen to beat North Carolina.
Speaker 10: Being on television or great job Seaton, you're the man.
Speaker 10: I would say the VCU comeback is that great tournament
Speaker 10: experience where one team is like white knuckling and trying
Speaker 10: to hold it on and the other team has like
Speaker 10: a dude off the bench dropping thirty four, which is
Speaker 10: like a beautiful combination. From like a broadcast ratings perspective,
Speaker 10: Duke getting scared but not losing is like a perfect
Speaker 10: scenario because we want our top seeds to get the
Speaker 10: ever living the Jesus scared out of them. But we'd
Speaker 10: also like to see Duke Kansas in the sweet sixteen.
Speaker 10: So I thought that was perfect.
Speaker 2: But you normally have If you look at every tournament
Speaker 2: where you have your champion, they get a scare at
Speaker 2: one point. It's rare when you just blow through people
Speaker 2: and you act like you're the running rebels of UNLV.
Speaker 2: Yeah you're going to win, but sometimes you win and
Speaker 2: it might be by a couple of points. So that
Speaker 2: might have been the scare there. But if Siana wins,
Speaker 2: I think statistically might be the greatest upset in NCAA
Speaker 2: history that I mean.
Speaker 10: I don't know. UMBC was pretty special FDU because of
Speaker 10: who Zach Edie was like this seven foot five, like
Speaker 10: larger than life, and fdu was the smallest team in
Speaker 10: the tournament. That one felt crazy. And Duke's injuries made
Speaker 10: Yesterday more explainable in terms of why they were there.
Speaker 10: But like two different scares. Howard was right there with Michigan.
Speaker 10: Yesterday hit ten threes in the first half, but the
Speaker 10: second half you go, oh, okay, difference, Duke, You're going
Speaker 10: this could be an issue against TCU. That one felt
Speaker 10: like we might be seeing actual issues here.
Speaker 2: The reaction though in the studio as you're watching games.
Speaker 2: You're not on TV. But who gives you the best
Speaker 2: reactions when you're watching these games at TNT.
Speaker 10: So Mash is like super Chalky. So Mash is like,
Speaker 10: I'm going to Cienna's up five and he's like, man,
Speaker 10: it don't matter. Cenna's up eleven.
Speaker 4: Nah, it don't matter.
Speaker 10: And I go, Mash, not all the top seeds are
Speaker 10: gonna win, Like there's going to be upset and I'm
Speaker 10: telling them, hey, at twelve beat to five every year.
Speaker 10: And then and then he's realized, because Mash is such
Speaker 10: like a man, he knows the debands a family like
Speaker 10: he really so to see him go they could lose
Speaker 10: this game. Like the realization come that was really beautiful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jamal Mashburn and Bruce Pearl's in there. I'm sure
Speaker 2: Bruce is at O at all.
Speaker 10: He's not like, why do you paint him in this picture?
Speaker 10: I feel like this is a character assassination. I'm going
Speaker 10: to like stand up for him, I know. And you
Speaker 10: were like tell the truth, Ruth, But.
Speaker 2: I was Tom Cruise and it was a few good men,
Speaker 2: and he was Nicholson and I just wanted to know
Speaker 2: if he was on Auburn's payroll.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was all.
Speaker 10: The thing that I like about coach is that like
Speaker 10: we'll get done a segment and like we got off
Speaker 10: there and he goes, oh that was fun. Like he's
Speaker 10: like he wishes he could do a segment right afterwards.
Speaker 10: So I love that energy.
Speaker 2: Did b YU get their money's worth out of aj Debansa?
Speaker 10: They got another top recruit coming in next year. We
Speaker 10: talked about by U basketball all season long. I know
Speaker 10: my guy Chuck has said that you can't do it
Speaker 10: all with one guy, but I think it's really interesting
Speaker 10: how sports are changing. With ni lu, Texas Tech and
Speaker 10: football were expecting them to be a powerhouse. I would
Speaker 10: imagine all that Texas money, s m U, all those
Speaker 10: teams are going to come alive. I'm sure Texas A
Speaker 10: and M is going to get some money too, but
Speaker 10: that I forget what they call it. There's like a
Speaker 10: Silicon Valley building right now in Utah, of all these
Speaker 10: tech companies in Utah, and my guy Ryan Smith with
Speaker 10: the Jazz, the money he's investing right now. I have
Speaker 10: this is the beginning for BYU because I think it's
Speaker 10: a complete game changer. I think it is. And as
Speaker 10: Debanza Debansa has a phenomenal NBA career, We're always going
Speaker 10: to mention BYU, just like when we see Kevin Durant,
Speaker 10: we talk about Texas.
Speaker 2: If you look at NIL and I had somebody works
Speaker 2: with the NC DOUBLEA. You know, we were talking about
Speaker 2: the SEC and I said, you know, is the SEC
Speaker 2: a thing of the past of you know when you
Speaker 2: looked certainly at football, and he said, you got to
Speaker 2: have oil money and you have to or have tech
Speaker 2: money because everybody's got the chance to be able to
Speaker 2: sign these players and do it legally. And that's maybe,
Speaker 2: you know, adds credence to what you're saying that if
Speaker 2: you have tech money and all you need is really
Speaker 2: one philanthropic donor who's willing to say, hey, I'm okay
Speaker 2: with this. Here what you can do with five to
Speaker 2: seven million dollars, and I think we got you aj
Speaker 2: BONSA exactly.
Speaker 10: Yeah. And then you factor in the amount of attention
Speaker 10: that Mark Cuban got for the Indiana football run, and
Speaker 10: he is like one of those established tech guys. I
Speaker 10: know a lot of tech founders and money is imaginary
Speaker 10: to them because they're going, well, my company is valued
Speaker 10: at four hundred million dollars, and I go, you live
Speaker 10: in a one bedroom apartment in the Lower East Side,
Speaker 10: and it's like it's not even real. So you need
Speaker 10: that money that doesn't even feel tangible, and I won't
Speaker 10: impact it. And oil and tech right now is.
Speaker 2: That we're talking Adam Lefco, TNT sports studio host, And
Speaker 2: if you're listening on radio, visualize Leftco with a nice
Speaker 2: crisp shirt and tie.
Speaker 10: When's the last time you were a suit to be
Speaker 10: on television? Not insulting your orange button up right now,
Speaker 10: but I'm just curious.
Speaker 3: It's quarter right by the way, Oh my god, it's textured. Yes,
Speaker 3: it's quarter roy. You know, I've fallen in love with
Speaker 3: quarter right.
Speaker 10: It's a nice material.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm bringing Have you ever gone.
Speaker 10: Quarter roight top and corduroy bottom?
Speaker 3: I would do it.
Speaker 10: Water would just flow right.
Speaker 3: It does look like picture day for you.
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is very weird. I thought about doing this
Speaker 10: with no pants and going back to like when we
Speaker 10: would do zoom calls together. But I'm getting picked up
Speaker 10: in about twelve minutes.
Speaker 2: So wasn't there that CNN analyst who.
Speaker 10: I had PTSD yesterday thinking about zoom, Like like when
Speaker 10: when the pandemic was happening, it was cool, and then
Speaker 10: afterwards people like, hey, you want to hop on a zoom?
Speaker 10: I'm like, man, I don't like I don't want to
Speaker 10: do any of this. Like I was looking around this
Speaker 10: hotel and I go where am I supposed to sit?
Speaker 10: Like do you want to see my bed that's a
Speaker 10: mess right now? Or like the table with food on it.
Speaker 10: It's a weird situation.
Speaker 2: So you co host the Big Podcast with Sequille Naw,
Speaker 2: shut the hell up?
Speaker 3: When are you surprised? When's the last time he surprised you?
Speaker 2: By the way, I think the last time I wore
Speaker 2: suit and tie probably was Football Night in America maybe,
Speaker 2: or maybe the Olympics or maybe handing out the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl trophy. I don't it's been a while. It's been
Speaker 2: a while. I have all of these ties. I probably
Speaker 2: have seventy five neckties.
Speaker 10: Do you think there could be a campaign where a
Speaker 10: Dan Patrick tie makes it into like a Hall of
Speaker 10: Fame somewhere, like a Broadcasting Hall of Fame or something
Speaker 10: like that, or like a NBA like I did.
Speaker 3: I did donate a blaze.
Speaker 2: Somebody had a sports bar and they said, hey, would
Speaker 2: you give me a blazer? And I gave them, you know,
Speaker 2: one of my suits, and they framed it.
Speaker 10: I'm like, and as funny as he didn't put in.
Speaker 2: The bar bedroom. Yes, when's the last time you were
Speaker 2: surprised by Shaq?
Speaker 10: So, like we play a game on there that started
Speaker 10: because he would go around the green room and like
Speaker 10: he'd pick up like a ritz cracker and be like,
Speaker 10: this is white people and then he'd say the S word,
Speaker 10: and so I was like, wait, do you believe everything
Speaker 10: in the world is white people stuff or black people stuff?
Speaker 10: And so now we play that game all the time,
Speaker 10: and his like he was like I was like wings,
Speaker 10: and he was like, drums are black people stuff, flats
Speaker 10: are white people's stuff. And he says it so definitively,
Speaker 10: and we I've done this with Barry Sanders and Bo
Speaker 10: Jackson and top I'm Brady and like what I did
Speaker 10: to them, I said water, thinking it's water, like we're
Speaker 10: made of water, the planet is majority water, and they
Speaker 10: both were like white people stuff. So like, I'm I'm
Speaker 10: just amazed.
Speaker 3: At black water is white people's stuff.
Speaker 10: Yeah, because I think they in their heads thought about
Speaker 10: who drinks water in the locker room and who drinks gatorade,
Speaker 10: and they were like, the white guys drink water, That's
Speaker 10: what they said. And so I'm I'm always amazed at
Speaker 10: like Shaq's Shack has like definitive theories on things and
Speaker 10: that because I'm like anything's open to interpretation, Shack is definitive.
Speaker 2: I think you need to make it bigger, that it's
Speaker 2: not just a podcast, that's a TV show.
Speaker 10: I one hundred percent agree. We've been it's my favorite.
Speaker 10: It started because we were doing NBA on TNT and
Speaker 10: Lebron was on the bench and he was eating You
Speaker 10: could see the package said red vines and he goes nah,
Speaker 10: black people call it twizzlers. I go no, I'm I'm
Speaker 10: reading the package and he goes, nah, white people at
Speaker 10: red vines. Black people eat twizzlers. And then I was
Speaker 10: like everything. I was like holding up pens, you know,
Speaker 10: like what about this table? What is this table? I
Speaker 10: missed you. I missed you a lot. And when I
Speaker 10: got the call and they were like hey, man, like
Speaker 10: they'd like to go on, I was like, that's really early.
Speaker 10: I'm going to be in a tie. And I was like,
Speaker 10: I missus, musk and so I'm happy to see you. Man.
Speaker 10: This has been great.
Speaker 3: How's the family.
Speaker 10: I don't know, if you want to know. My son
Speaker 10: is really smart, he's two and a half now. My
Speaker 10: wife is great. And my son says my full government
Speaker 10: name because I'm on television. So sometimes I'll walk out
Speaker 10: and I'll go Adam lef Cold and I'm like, you
Speaker 10: did not know my name? So life is good.
Speaker 3: Give me the surprise today or tonight.
Speaker 10: Okay. I think we're going to start with two upsets
Speaker 10: right off the bat. I think Santa I could take
Speaker 10: down Kentucky and I think Akron is going to be
Speaker 10: a Sweet sixteen team. So I think, uh, Texas Tech
Speaker 10: with j at Toppin is gonna get banged up. If I
Speaker 10: had to pick the bit, I think the Miami Ohio
Speaker 10: story continues. I think they knock off Tennessee and I
Speaker 10: think America's team advances. And if I had to pick
Speaker 10: one bigger upset, one that would like like a real
Speaker 10: double digit seed, I I Northern Iowa over Saint John's
Speaker 10: would be unbelievable. Like I love Rick Battino, and I
Speaker 10: think they're focused, but like I covered the Big East
Speaker 10: all season long, and the drop off on teams and
Speaker 10: who they play. They've played two teams in this tournament
Speaker 10: since January, and if and they and if Saint John's
Speaker 10: isn't scoring, you reach that point where you're like, how
Speaker 10: are they going to manufacture points? Right now? Everyone's like
Speaker 10: Rick Pattino. But I do have my surprise team. I
Speaker 10: guess the final four. I think Kansas makes a run.
Speaker 10: I think they go I think they go to Indy.
Speaker 10: I really do.
Speaker 2: By the way, let me go back to the Big East,
Speaker 2: because you realize when Syracuse and Connecticut wanted to play
Speaker 2: big time football, they ruined. Why couldn't you have just
Speaker 2: been the best basketball conference in America because they were that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you could.
Speaker 2: Say to Syracuse you can give up football, Connecticut give
Speaker 2: up football and we go back to the Big East,
Speaker 2: what do you think.
Speaker 10: I think I go back to the early twenty tens
Speaker 10: when all this was happening, like twenty ten at twenty fourteen.
Speaker 10: I think it was about fear because I remember I
Speaker 10: was in Louisville and so they're in that whole ACC
Speaker 10: thing too, and it was like, why does nobody want me?
Speaker 10: Because it was all this realignment and it was it
Speaker 10: was a fear that you were going to get left
Speaker 10: out and there was so much security in the ACC.
Speaker 10: But dude, I completely agree with you. Like I went
Speaker 10: to Syracuse when Jerry McNamara was playing, and those those
Speaker 10: MSG Big East tournaments felt bigger than the NCAA tournaments.
Speaker 10: They did times they did and it was so special.
Speaker 10: I mean, the Kemba run and it was tough, but
Speaker 10: that's what's we started this conversation talking about NIL were
Speaker 10: defined by contracts of money right now and not John Thompson,
Speaker 10: like it was just a different feel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I was there with all of those coaches
Speaker 2: back in the eighties, and you know, we were right
Speaker 2: across CNN was right across the street from the garden,
Speaker 2: and you would have the Big East Tournament and I
Speaker 2: would just go there all day and all night, and
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 10: And dudes were dressed like this. That's the reason the
Speaker 10: tournament was great. You'd have dudes that were clearly leaving
Speaker 10: their office Jeffs sitting in the garden at like two
Speaker 10: forty five to watch Cincinnati West Virginia and you're like
Speaker 10: Bob Huggins could go on a run like Big East
Speaker 10: Basketball in New York was special.
Speaker 3: Man Tell Shack, I said alone.
Speaker 10: Okay, I go to good de Patrick Shall the hell up.
Speaker 3: Uh, don't be nervous today.
Speaker 10: All right, you know what Now I'm gonna be Thanks
Speaker 10: a lot, Daan appreciate.

Speaker 2: and Nebraska leads us off this morning. Good morning, Josh,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15: Good morning everybody. Thanks for taking my call. About a
Speaker 15: year ago, I called in to let you guys know
Speaker 15: that I was going to propose to my fiance.
Speaker 3: At Notre Dame.
Speaker 15: I don't know if you guys remember, but she did
Speaker 15: eventually say yes at Notre Dame.
Speaker 3: We get married in.
Speaker 15: June, and I just wanted to provide you guys an update.
Speaker 15: I'm a high school teacher, so I haven't had a.
Speaker 14: Chance to call and yet this year, but I just.
Speaker 15: Wanted to thank you for the advice. And by the way,
Speaker 15: Adam Sandler sent us a card with an autograph for
Speaker 15: our wedding because we invited him to. I say, you guys,
Speaker 15: an invite. I say, you guys, an invite, but I
Speaker 15: haven't heard back from you. I know you obviously can't come,
Speaker 15: but again, I just want you to know you're on
Speaker 15: our Zillo account, so you are not Zillo Zila. Sorry,
Speaker 15: too many disease, But the point is, you guys are
Speaker 15: actually invited to the wedding. It's in Omaha, Nebraska. I
Speaker 15: know you can't make it, you're a busy guy, but
Speaker 15: I just wanted you to know that this is in
Speaker 15: some publicity since to try to get you to come.
Speaker 15: You were actually invited. So again, thank you for the advice.
Speaker 15: Thank you to all the people who told me where
Speaker 15: to propose that Notre Dame. You guys were one hundred
Speaker 15: percent of help and I love the show as always.
Speaker 14: You guys are the best.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Josh, and congratulations. Good luck with that. Chris
Speaker 2: and Syracuse. Good morning, Chris. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 14: Hey?
Speaker 16: Thanks Danny, you got a few things to throw at you. Yeah,
Speaker 16: after yesterday, if Jerry McNamara wants to search you job,
Speaker 16: i'm sure it's his because the South Florida coach wasn't interested.
Speaker 16: It's your point, Dan, that wouldn't happen when Syracuse was
Speaker 16: in the Big East. And yesterday you guys were talking
Speaker 16: about Michael Jordan wearing number forty five when he came
Speaker 16: back from baseball. I think it partially represented getting his
Speaker 16: fourth and fifth championship. And if he played for the
Speaker 16: Yankees in about fifty years, he could have taken number four,
Speaker 16: fifty six and I've got an awful knock headline off
Speaker 16: of yesterday's show. Les Nessman Dan's guy Freed would still
Speaker 16: be the minor League home run king. And I'm shocked
Speaker 16: yesterday when Ronda called in and mentioned that she was
Speaker 16: an ex model that first she didn't try to convince
Speaker 16: her to be in the Dan Patrick's show bracket challenge.
Speaker 16: I mean, the nex model is better than no model
Speaker 16: at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, Thank you, Chris. I have a great weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Ronda called in said that she's a former model. Uh
Speaker 2: Buddha in San Francisco. Good morning, Buddha.
Speaker 11: Nobody happy to meet Friday boys every day is one
Speaker 11: shining moment. Welcome back, Marvin bp Luka Danceek is on
Speaker 11: a heater right now.
Speaker 7: And as Marvin.
Speaker 11: Says, he's hot of the fish crease man, I mean
Speaker 11: dropping sixty in front of BAM in Miami and getting
Speaker 11: MVP chants from Lebron's old stomping grounds. That must have
Speaker 11: been pretty cool. And damn if LUCAA hasn't scored more
Speaker 11: points in the past seven days than Anthony Davis has
Speaker 11: scored since the trade went down, I'd be shocked. I
Speaker 11: don't know, Thank you, Unikah, Harrison and Dan. I wanted
Speaker 11: to call in and back up support and shout out
Speaker 11: my man. Eric Weeks listening to the whole Sammy Seusser
Speaker 11: Gate unfold yesterday was hilarious. And I leave you guys
Speaker 11: with this DP show tailored stat of the day. March
Speaker 11: Madness brought us one shining moment, Fritzy brought us one
Speaker 11: dining moment, and Weeks yesterday brought us one damning moment.
Speaker 10: Mam. That was Emmy worthy.
Speaker 3: Thank you Buddha. Yeah, we had an issue yesterday.
Speaker 2: Was sitting in Marvin's chair because Marvin was suspended for
Speaker 2: Marvin was off for a day, and our cameraman, Weeks
Speaker 2: was trying to help, you know, and we had some
Speaker 2: technical issues and he was getting in behind the desk
Speaker 2: and he just happened to bump the Sami Sosa figurine,
Speaker 2: priceless figurine by the way, and.
Speaker 3: It broke.
Speaker 2: It shattered, It was fixed kind of. There were some
Speaker 2: people who I thought were culpable who knew it happened
Speaker 2: and then did not bring it to my attention until
Speaker 2: I brought it to my attention when I saw the
Speaker 2: chalk outline of the Sami Sosa figurine on the floor
Speaker 2: and a bunch of pieces there shattered, and so was I.
Speaker 2: But weeks the cameraman apologized and he put Sammy Sosa
Speaker 2: back together again. It was kind of a humpty dumpty
Speaker 2: kind of thing. And then I'm blamed because I put
Speaker 2: the figurine perilously close to falling off a desk. But
Speaker 2: I go back to Matt Liner dropping an F bomb. Marvin,
Speaker 2: let it be on the radio, and then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, Marvin is not here yesterday, Sammy Sosa gets
Speaker 2: bumped because Setan then has a problem when he sits
Speaker 2: in your chair, our cameraman knocks it off and it shatters.
Speaker 2: So I can't blame you, Marvin. I have to blame
Speaker 2: Matt Liner because if he doesn't drop an F bomb,
Speaker 2: you don't get suspended, you don't have a day off.
Speaker 2: And then maybe Setan doesn't have a problem up front, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 4: But maybe I should blame you because you didn't have
Speaker 4: to suspend me.
Speaker 3: I gave you the day off. There's a difference.
Speaker 2: Coincidentally, Yes, Chuck in North Carolina, Good morning, Chuck.
Speaker 3: What's on your mind today?
Speaker 14: Hey man, I don't want to send all our kick
Speaker 14: guy from Dallas. It calls in raising hail. But yesterday
Speaker 14: in Greenville Shubert Davis and then I don't understand how
Speaker 14: you get rid of a coach that's a player alumni coach.
Speaker 3: Media Darling.
Speaker 14: Almost his whole staff is ex players and players that
Speaker 14: played for Carolina. They don't have any out of bounds plays.
Speaker 14: But two, they're not physical. I've lost my mind, Dan.
Speaker 14: I was at the game. I coached high school ball,
Speaker 14: and that's ridiculous. Royd was disgusted. He walked out. I
Speaker 14: thought he was going to cry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kept watching.
Speaker 2: Now North Carolina doesn't have its best player, let's but
Speaker 2: you still can't blow a nineteen point lead. You can't.
Speaker 2: And this is another first round exit. I think it's
Speaker 2: the second in five years. And prior to yesterday, North
Speaker 2: Carolina forty eight in one old time in the NCAA
Speaker 2: tournament when leading by double ditchits at halftime. The only
Speaker 2: previous loss was twenty twenty two, the national title game
Speaker 2: against Kansas. More college basketball coverage coming up next hour
Speaker 2: to meet Friday. More of your phone calls as well.
Speaker 2: Eight seven to seven to three DP show operator Tyler
Speaker 2: sitting by the gang's all here, reunited. It feels so good. Fritzy, Satan,
Speaker 2: Marv Paula, Yours truly hour two after this
