Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's our two on this Wednesday. Come on,
Speaker 1: let's get our heads up. Now, come on, let's go. Actually,
Speaker 1: we were fine last night after we didn't win. We
Speaker 1: just walked outside Port Champagne on each other and we
Speaker 1: sat around and had a beer after the show was over,
Speaker 1: and I think we all kind of just said, Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, we had a great year, we had fun,
Speaker 1: we got nominated, we just didn't win. And in case
Speaker 1: you weren't watching either on YouTube dot com, Slash The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show or the actual Emmy Show, here is
Speaker 1: how the announcement sounded last night for Best Studio Show.
Speaker 1: There's a lot writing, obviously in the outcome tonight. So
Speaker 1: without further ado, here are the nominees in Outstanding Studio
Speaker 1: Show Daily The Dan Patrick Show, Hot Direct TV is
Speaker 1: you know, I think, well, how about you, how much
Speaker 1: do you have any say in what Seattle does offensively
Speaker 1: with free agents or draft draft picks? Uh? I think
Speaker 1: that it's uh, you know, I think that ultimately for
Speaker 1: me personally, you know, I think that I want to
Speaker 1: be able to be involved because at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, it's your legacy. It's your team's legacy. It's
Speaker 1: you know, it's the guys. You get to go into
Speaker 1: the huddle with so many great shows, a lot of
Speaker 1: good friends. They are outstanding studio show daily and the
Speaker 1: Emmy goes to Sports Center ESPN. So we're standing there
Speaker 1: with rain slickers on and we have goggles on, and
Speaker 1: we have bottles of champagne. Everybody else has, you know,
Speaker 1: jacket and tie. They're all buttoned up, and we're there.
Speaker 1: We look like minions and or a meth lab. And
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it was like, and the winner
Speaker 1: is Sports Center, and you just went okay. And then
Speaker 1: we you know, we got off of the Sports Emmy broadcast,
Speaker 1: and then we stayed on YouTube, and then we just
Speaker 1: walked outside and I said, let's pop the champagne, guys,
Speaker 1: and just poured champagne over one another. Although mclovin got
Speaker 1: a little aggressive. He treated me like he was christening
Speaker 1: a ship. He was trying to pour champagne on me
Speaker 1: and he actually smacked me in the head with a
Speaker 1: champagne bottle. Aggressive or uncoordinated, it could be a combination
Speaker 1: of both. I'm you know what, I'll be fair and
Speaker 1: give you the uncoordinated. He know, I don't know how
Speaker 1: many moments like that you've ever taken part in and
Speaker 1: pouring champagne on somebody zero, okay, And it looked like
Speaker 1: that for all of us last night, but for all
Speaker 1: of those of you who tuned in, whether it was
Speaker 1: on YouTube, chat, row, you know, a great response from everybody,
Speaker 1: and I just want to thank you for the support there. Yes,
Speaker 1: if you go through the should give a shout out
Speaker 1: to the people who run the Sports Emmys twitter feed too,
Speaker 1: had had a language tough night because this audience thought
Speaker 1: we deserved a Sports Emmy. Yeah. It's what's funny is
Speaker 1: when you go through their Twitter feed. I mean there's
Speaker 1: a million awards, right that are given out, or maybe
Speaker 1: not a million, but there's a bunch, right, And so
Speaker 1: you go through and it's like there's like no reaction
Speaker 1: to most of these tweets about like, hey, look at
Speaker 1: best you know, animated short for sports or whatever is
Speaker 1: like this show, and there's almost no reaction whatsoever. And
Speaker 1: then you get to this one category where you see
Speaker 1: it's been retweeted three hundred times and there's you know,
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred comments. Yeah, yeah, oh that that's the one
Speaker 1: that we lost. Yeah. Yeah. The Sports Emmy people say
Speaker 1: they get no response whatsoever until our category comes up,
Speaker 1: and then they get more than they want. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: thank you for having our backs last night. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I got a nice note from Randy Scott, who's one
Speaker 1: of the morning Sports Center hosts, and he retweeted the
Speaker 1: Sports Emmy post of that Sports Center one Sports Emmy,
Speaker 1: and he sent me a note he goes, your fans
Speaker 1: are spirited. Yeah, he said, congratulation. Yeah, yes, McLeman. I
Speaker 1: noticed one thing. When Mike Terrico announced Sports Center, he
Speaker 1: flipped the card to show it was sports Center to
Speaker 1: verify a sports center, which to me says he was
Speaker 1: thinking about going off script. It crossed his mind because
Speaker 1: he said, I have a lot of friends up there.
Speaker 1: I mean, Tarrico is our guy. Of course Tarrico must
Speaker 1: have at least thought should I just say Dan. Of
Speaker 1: course he wouldn't, he has a lot of it. But
Speaker 1: it crossed his mind. I know it did. It would
Speaker 1: have been awesome if Tarico, who was the host last night,
Speaker 1: said and the winner of the best Studio show is
Speaker 1: not Dan Patrick, and then it said it's Sports Center,
Speaker 1: Like I would have loved that. I would have loved
Speaker 1: it because in the moment I would have been, way,
Speaker 1: we want no, we did Wait what did he say?
Speaker 1: It's not Dan Patrick good? Sports Center? Yeah. See, it
Speaker 1: is just the best visual in the world, though, Like
Speaker 1: I can't even begin to tell you how hilarious I
Speaker 1: think it is that you just have all of these
Speaker 1: people in suit barely even smiling, like they're not even
Speaker 1: like nobody's really amused that this is all very serious,
Speaker 1: and then us five idiots in goggles and it is God,
Speaker 1: does that make me laugh? Scene looks like Jesse Pinkman
Speaker 1: breaking bad? It does. It looks like we're extras in
Speaker 1: a meth lab with the goggles on and the slicker
Speaker 1: sham chaneane. And then here's you know, some random exec Yeah,
Speaker 1: somebody buttoned up from Sports Center and going, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: we have to build another trophy case because this trophy
Speaker 1: case is full. But congratulations to Sports Center. You know,
Speaker 1: they needed something good to happen, and uh and I'm
Speaker 1: really happy for them, alrighty age seven seven, three d
Speaker 1: P show email address dpat dan Patrick dot com, Christian
Speaker 1: Polisic the Great USA in the Great USA Soccer Player
Speaker 1: places for Chelsea in the Premiership. Fernando Tatist Junior will
Speaker 1: join us coming up as well. The Joker won the MVP.
Speaker 1: Jazz beat the Clippers and dramatic fashion there. Clippers had
Speaker 1: a chance to tie, couldn't get a good shot off
Speaker 1: seventy six ers rough to up the Hawks and Bead
Speaker 1: looked marvelous. I'm always cautious when I do this. It's
Speaker 1: like we tried to do this with Luca don Chick,
Speaker 1: that he's the next Larry Bird, which he's not, but
Speaker 1: we'd love to have those historical comparisons. Joe Lmbad has
Speaker 1: the footwork of a Chem Elijah On Now. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying he's the same player, certainly not defensively. A Chem
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite centers of all time. I
Speaker 1: just thought that he had the ability if he was
Speaker 1: six three to make it in the NBA because of
Speaker 1: his footwork, and Joe l Embiid has that footwork. He
Speaker 1: just needs to stay healthy and even now he's got
Speaker 1: a torn meniscus. I mean, he's out there playing and
Speaker 1: he put up forty after the previous game put up thirty.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to be enough, but
Speaker 1: it was last night. The bench helped out the seventy
Speaker 1: sixers and they cooled off Trey Young. That was the
Speaker 1: most important part. You have the sons at the Nuggets
Speaker 1: game two watching last night, got home after we didn't
Speaker 1: win the sports Emmy watched the end of the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers and the Hawks, and then started watching the Jazz
Speaker 1: because I was just curious, is za Clipper team going
Speaker 1: to be bringing in that momentum of winning Game seven?
Speaker 1: And the Jazz have had a little bit of arrest.
Speaker 1: They didn't have Mike Conley. The Jazz missed twenty consecutive
Speaker 1: first quarter shots, and then they needed all the help
Speaker 1: from Donovan Mitchell in the second half. It's hard to
Speaker 1: miss twenty consecutive shots, but they did and they lived
Speaker 1: to tell about it. This is the fourth postseason game
Speaker 1: of at least forty points by Donovan Mitchell that ties
Speaker 1: in with Carl Malone for the most enfranchise history. Nothing
Speaker 1: is cooler in the NBA, though, than an awesome nickname,
Speaker 1: and we've had so many of those. Doctor j Eric Jordan,
Speaker 1: the Big Old Wilt, the Stilt Pistol Pete Greek Freak,
Speaker 1: the beard throwing the brow, the nickname that is not
Speaker 1: helping his playoff peak. Utah fans were chanting that with
Speaker 1: Paul George last night. He struggled. He gave himself the nickname.
Speaker 1: First of all, you can't give yourself a nickname. Others
Speaker 1: have to be stow that upon you. I mean, Ali
Speaker 1: called himself the greatest, but then that was Muhammad Ali.
Speaker 1: He was the greatest. Wayne Gretzky didn't call himself the
Speaker 1: great one, but he could have. You know, Mike could
Speaker 1: have called himself Eric Jordan, doctor j. They called him.
Speaker 1: Was it Black Jesus? And he said, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I I don't want to be called that. And then
Speaker 1: it became you know, you can call me the doctor.
Speaker 1: They had all these nicknames, and Doctor J in Harlem
Speaker 1: during a basketball game or after the game, said no,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna call me something, call me doctor. And
Speaker 1: then that's where it started. But you know, go back
Speaker 1: to last year in the bubble and Paul George struggled.
Speaker 1: Struggled in the bubble, talked about the mental stress of
Speaker 1: the situation war on him. He played well in the
Speaker 1: opening round win against the Maps, and now the Clippers
Speaker 1: go against a well rounded Jazz team that well, the
Speaker 1: Clippers need Paul George to be playoff p and last
Speaker 1: night that was not a auspicious start for him. But
Speaker 1: the Clippers hanging in there. But if I said, the
Speaker 1: Jazz are gonna miss their first twenty shots and you
Speaker 1: got to win those games, and once again you have
Speaker 1: two of the best defenders in the NBA, and they
Speaker 1: can't guard They couldn't guard Luca, they couldn't guard Donovan
Speaker 1: Mitchell last night, And at some point, I think you
Speaker 1: gotta look at what is our philosophy here. Tylu did
Speaker 1: make an adjustment though in the series against the Maps,
Speaker 1: because I think he realized, Hey, maybe I don't need
Speaker 1: to be starting these guys. Maybe I start the guys
Speaker 1: who I've been coming off the bench. But having a
Speaker 1: philosophy here to be able to stop somebody from getting
Speaker 1: forty five points. And I got Paul George and I
Speaker 1: got Kawhi Leonard, there's no excuse. You would think that
Speaker 1: those two collectively could be able to hold him in check.
Speaker 1: But that wasn't the case last night. We spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time in the first hour talking about baseball
Speaker 1: cracking down on a foreign substance that's used by pitchers.
Speaker 1: And it's not just sunscreen rosin maybe even pine tarts,
Speaker 1: something more than that. It's a substance called spider tack,
Speaker 1: and it's used by weightlifters. And it's a company out
Speaker 1: of North Carolina that I'm sure loves the fact that
Speaker 1: we've mentioned that name a couple of times. I don't
Speaker 1: know if players individually are ordering this or teams are,
Speaker 1: because if teams are, that's a little more interesting. If
Speaker 1: I'm the commissioner of Major League Baseball, and what we're
Speaker 1: told is if you order, you know, a canister of this,
Speaker 1: it can last year, the entire season. You know, for
Speaker 1: a pitcher, it can last year the entire season, and
Speaker 1: it just gives you a better hold on the baseball.
Speaker 1: But you can use it in all different kinds of weather.
Speaker 1: You can use it when it's cold weather, and you
Speaker 1: can use it when it's hot. So you're able to
Speaker 1: use it trying to get a grip on the ball
Speaker 1: because it's cold, and you can get a grip on
Speaker 1: the ball when you know there's moisture on your hand.
Speaker 1: This is for weightlifters. They use this, and pitchers have
Speaker 1: been using this, and now all of a sudden you're
Speaker 1: getting some hitters who are not afraid to say some
Speaker 1: things and say, wait a minute, this is going on
Speaker 1: right now. It used to be a gentleman's agreement between managers.
Speaker 1: I know your guy's doing it, you know my guys
Speaker 1: doing it, and you just an unwritten rule of baseball here.
Speaker 1: But it got really awkward for Garrett Cole, the Yankee pitcher.
Speaker 1: He was asked questions at a press conference, including has
Speaker 1: he ever used this substance? And it did not go
Speaker 1: well for Garrett Cole last night. Have you ever used
Speaker 1: spider time wall pitching? Um, I don't. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. If I don't know quite, I don't
Speaker 1: quite know how to answer that, to be Honestum, I
Speaker 1: mean there are customs and practices that have been passed
Speaker 1: down from older players to younger players, from the last
Speaker 1: generation of players to this generation of players, and um,
Speaker 1: you know, I I think I think there are some
Speaker 1: things that are certainly out of bounds in that regard,
Speaker 1: and and I've stood pretty stood, pretty firm and in
Speaker 1: terms of that, in terms of the communication between our
Speaker 1: peers and whatnot. No, okay, yeah, you get the gist
Speaker 1: of what was happening there. He is trying to come up.
Speaker 1: And you know, it reminded me of was it Miss
Speaker 1: South Carolina in the Miss America pageant where she was
Speaker 1: asked a question and she had no idea how to
Speaker 1: answer it. That was the feeling I got with Garrett Cole,
Speaker 1: like everywhere and such as and the Iraq, and I
Speaker 1: just went, Okay, how do you answer this? And now
Speaker 1: this is big because it's in New York and this
Speaker 1: isn't there's no vagueness to this question. Have you ever
Speaker 1: used this well? Given that batting averages are at an
Speaker 1: old time low, home runs I think are down, strikeouts
Speaker 1: are up, No hitters are on a record pace, Baseball
Speaker 1: is trying to it's either one or the other. Pictures
Speaker 1: are dominating. Our hitters are dominating, and you got to
Speaker 1: find some common ground here. Yeah. See we have some
Speaker 1: more sound of Garrett Cole. Okay, that just came out. Okay,
Speaker 1: I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do
Speaker 1: so because some people out there in our nation it
Speaker 1: don't have mats. And I believe that our education like
Speaker 1: such as South Africa and Iraq everywhere like such US,
Speaker 1: and I believe that they should our education I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know it's up. I don't know quite I
Speaker 1: don't quite know how to answer to Iraq in the
Speaker 1: Asian countries. Okay, they could get together those too, Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Plus Garrett Cole and Trevor Bauer former teammates. I think
Speaker 1: at UCLA Trevor Bauer has been called out with this
Speaker 1: and these are you know, I'm waiting for Jacob de
Speaker 1: grand if he asked answers questions about this, because now
Speaker 1: now it's you know, open open, open season on this
Speaker 1: to be able to ask this, ask that direct question. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe you just say no, I haven't. I've heard about it,
Speaker 1: but no I haven't, Yes, Todd, or do you get
Speaker 1: so worried that somehow they're going to trace it back
Speaker 1: to you and then you're just a big liar like
Speaker 1: the story denial about it? Yeah, you just say, oh,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that was the name of it, but
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'd put that on there. But man, I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to make sure that I don't get a
Speaker 1: pitch that gets away and I hit somebody here like that.
Speaker 1: That's been and hitters will tell you that that they
Speaker 1: want to make sure that they get a little grip
Speaker 1: on that baseball, not a vice grip on that baseball. Yes, paulling,
Speaker 1: and you know how it probably is in baseball. Some
Speaker 1: guy found it, started using it, and then he told
Speaker 1: his pitching staff. Then the guy gets traded and he
Speaker 1: tells his pitching staff and next thing, you know, we
Speaker 1: don't want to be the pitching staff not using spider
Speaker 1: tech or whatever spider tech and it just everyone orders it.
Speaker 1: It becomes the norm. And then they start talking about
Speaker 1: spin rates. You know that that's the thing that they're
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on. You know, there was a lawsuit
Speaker 1: that was filed. Garrett Cole was recently accused of doctoring
Speaker 1: baseballs in a lawsuit. I don't know what the lawsuit was.
Speaker 1: Who filed that lawsuit, mclovin. So it was an equipment
Speaker 1: manager who was being blamed for all this. So he
Speaker 1: preemptively filed a lawsuit against multiple pitchers saying that they're
Speaker 1: the ones who did it, including Max Scherzer. I believe.
Speaker 1: So we'll double check the details. Yeah, Scherzer was somehow
Speaker 1: in that lawsuit. We're losers and you can celebrate with us.
Speaker 1: We have a special Dan Patrick dot com. You can
Speaker 1: buy the win or lose, we celebrate T shirt and

Speaker 1: The music that brings us back from the commercial break
Speaker 1: has to do with being a loser. Right back at
Speaker 1: ninety six, Rock at ninety six, at ninety six, rock,
Speaker 1: You're a loser, baby, So why don't you kill me? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but this guy's a winner. He's a Christian politic. The
Speaker 1: Chelsea midfielder USA Soccer had the big win against Mexico.
Speaker 1: He scored in that win against Mexico, then Calf final,
Speaker 1: so he's a champion. He's Christian politic who joins us
Speaker 1: on the program. Have you come down after that win
Speaker 1: against Mexico. Yeah, it's definitely a fun, fun night getting
Speaker 1: to celebrate with these guys. But yeah, now we're relaxed,
Speaker 1: one more games ago, so I'm trying to get focused.
Speaker 1: How do you prepare for atmosphere like that? You really
Speaker 1: just you really don't. I think you just have to
Speaker 1: experience it. I've I've played in conquer Calf matches before,
Speaker 1: I've played in some some very tough places, and yeah,
Speaker 1: the fans could be the fans could be tough. So
Speaker 1: there's really there's really no getting ready for it. It's
Speaker 1: just getting those experiences. But did you worry though, because
Speaker 1: you're celebrating and they're right there watching you celebrate and
Speaker 1: they're not happy. I mean, it's just uh, you know,
Speaker 1: USA Mexico especially, it's a big rivalry. Um and uh yeah,
Speaker 1: we kind of know what's going on, but it's uh,
Speaker 1: it made it made the celebrations and all that, honestly
Speaker 1: that much better. Is there a Premier League rivalry that's
Speaker 1: similar to US Mexico. There's there's obviously big rivalries. I
Speaker 1: just don't think you can compare it to the level
Speaker 1: of I guess just the extent of how the fans
Speaker 1: act and then some of the things that you see
Speaker 1: in the match. I just don't think. I don't think
Speaker 1: you can compare it in that way. But there are
Speaker 1: some big, some big rivalries. And then you know, you
Speaker 1: have your penalty kick. So can you put us in
Speaker 1: that moment of do you think or try not to think? Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely a mix of both. Um you kind of you
Speaker 1: definitely have to try to keep a cool head, um,
Speaker 1: you know in that moment, especially with a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of fans booing and uh, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: it's tough. So um I stepped up there and just
Speaker 1: try to be confident and uh, yeah, luckily I put
Speaker 1: it away. But do you look at the goalie? Um?
Speaker 1: Not in that one, I didn't honestly. Um. I kind
Speaker 1: of just said, you know what, I'm gonna pick a
Speaker 1: spot here and then I'm gonna go for it. And
Speaker 1: then what's that feeling like though? When it leaves your foot? Um,
Speaker 1: when when you take a penalty like that, especially and
Speaker 1: you put it real high, it's it's you're a bit
Speaker 1: it's a bit nerve wracking until you see it go
Speaker 1: in the net. So, um, it's it's it's it's a
Speaker 1: crazy feeling. But yeah, one when it once it goes in,
Speaker 1: it's definitely. Really there was so much hype about you though,
Speaker 1: Christian going into the Premier League like you do you
Speaker 1: feel like you can ever live up to everybody's expectations. Oh,
Speaker 1: You'll never live up to everyone's expectations. Definitely something I've learned.
Speaker 1: M I just do the absolute best I can, trying
Speaker 1: to prove um that you know, Americans can do it,
Speaker 1: you know, like especially across in Europe and and uh
Speaker 1: and doing it for the national team now. Um So
Speaker 1: I just always give it the best I can because
Speaker 1: the game I love and that's that's really all I
Speaker 1: can do. What was your second best sport growing up?
Speaker 1: Second best sport? I would definitely say a golf, golf
Speaker 1: or basketball. Um, obviously I didn't have the height, so
Speaker 1: uh wasn't going to the NBA, but uh, you know
Speaker 1: I could shoot. I had had some handles back in
Speaker 1: the day. Do you still follow it? Yeah, yeah, um,
Speaker 1: on and off, on and off. I try to follow
Speaker 1: it as best I can. Uh, the Champions League, when
Speaker 1: you know you're going against man shitty. You know, you
Speaker 1: come off the bench, what are you thinking when you uh,
Speaker 1: when you walk onto the pitch, really just doing whatever
Speaker 1: I can just to help impact the game and help
Speaker 1: my team win in any way that we can't. You know,
Speaker 1: in that moment, it was a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of hard work, a lot of defending. Now you know,
Speaker 1: we had to lead it that point. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: really just said to myself, going and try to try
Speaker 1: to impact the game, even if it's in the smallest way.
Speaker 1: And that's really the mindset that I have. And then
Speaker 1: I saw the photo with you and your parents, Like,
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good moment there. How do you describe that?
Speaker 1: Extremely special they've they've sacrificed so much to help get
Speaker 1: me where I am, so I'll always be thankful for
Speaker 1: them and to share that moment with them obviously, just
Speaker 1: very proud and uh yeah, it's definitely a day I'll
Speaker 1: never forget. You're covered for Father's Day, just so you know,
Speaker 1: Christian and Mother's Day after you did that, you don't
Speaker 1: have to get your parents to gift you know, you
Speaker 1: have to get him a card. I don't think tell
Speaker 1: my mom that, all right, the tattoos, when did they
Speaker 1: start and did mom have a problem with it? That's uh.
Speaker 1: I don't think my mom really did have much of
Speaker 1: a problem with it. I think my dad already had
Speaker 1: some tattoos, so tattoos kind of we're in the family already,
Speaker 1: so I was kind of I definitely took it to
Speaker 1: a whole other level with the whole arm sleeve thing going.
Speaker 1: But yeah, my mom, My mom doesn't seem to she
Speaker 1: doesn't love tattoos, but she doesn't. She doesn't hate him
Speaker 1: on me either. I don't think are you getting a
Speaker 1: celebratory tattoo after, you know, the Champions League or beating Mexico,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. You know, get a tattoo
Speaker 1: the trophy here or something like that. Well, I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that. Maybe I'll I'll have a I'll have
Speaker 1: a child with my artist. I was also wondering this.
Speaker 1: You're a fan of Lebron's but he owns a piece
Speaker 1: of Liverpool. That's awkward, isn't it, Christian? I guess that's awkward. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll have to have a have you met Have you
Speaker 1: met Lebron? No? I never had the chance to meet
Speaker 1: him now, but I don't have to have a word
Speaker 1: with it. Well, why don't you invite him to a match?
Speaker 1: All right? Well we'll work on that, yeah, I think so. Um,
Speaker 1: how's your English accent? You know, because sometimes, you know,
Speaker 1: celebrities will live in England and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they come back with a little bit of an
Speaker 1: accent or some phrases. So how are you doing with
Speaker 1: that English accents? Or? I think, oh, on it a
Speaker 1: bit there? But no, I think I think I can
Speaker 1: do a good one. I haven't quite Uh. I think
Speaker 1: I still sound American, I hope at least. Or you're
Speaker 1: from the Midwest, like you don't you don't want to
Speaker 1: lose that, do you? Oh? No? Um, I don't think so. Well,
Speaker 1: you're a man of mystery though, if you have an accent,
Speaker 1: because I remember Madonna went there, who else, Gwyneth Paltrow,
Speaker 1: and then they came back and they had English accents
Speaker 1: where like, wait, come on, yeah, I lived I lived
Speaker 1: in there in the in the UK actually when I
Speaker 1: was younger, for about a year and I was so
Speaker 1: young and I was going to school there. I think
Speaker 1: by the end of the year some people told me
Speaker 1: like they picked up on an asset that I had already. So, um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess yeah, you live over there
Speaker 1: long enough, he just starts starts to be as usual
Speaker 1: for you. Um. How how concerned or how excited confident
Speaker 1: are you with World Cup? I think I think we're
Speaker 1: very I think we're very confident. I think we have
Speaker 1: a really great group of guys. I think I hope
Speaker 1: you know a lot of Americans can see that. Um
Speaker 1: the other day, we have a confident bunch of guys,
Speaker 1: guys that are ready to fight and uh yeah go
Speaker 1: into the region and U qualifying. I think we're in
Speaker 1: a good place. But yeah, we definitely want to we
Speaker 1: want to be there and we want to compete. I
Speaker 1: think you gotta you know, Ethan Horvath, you know, how
Speaker 1: do you how do you give like, what do you
Speaker 1: give him after he basically, you know, saved the saved,
Speaker 1: say he saved our country. Yeah, yeah, you could say that, yes,
Speaker 1: literally quite literally? Yeah he uh now, I mean it
Speaker 1: couldn't happen to a better guy. To be honest, Um,
Speaker 1: the guy, whether he's starting or not, he's the hardest worker.
Speaker 1: He's constantly ready, and to come into a game in
Speaker 1: an atmosphere like that, honestly, just really just shows what
Speaker 1: he's all about. So to come up in a big
Speaker 1: moment like that, it's just it's just massive. I just
Speaker 1: want to let you know that Cutter or qatars is
Speaker 1: going to be really warm in twenty twenty two, So hydrate,
Speaker 1: prepare yourself there, Christian. Okay, that's good advice. Have you
Speaker 1: have you played in that kind of heat before? I
Speaker 1: don't know about that kind of heat. Um, I definitely yeah.
Speaker 1: I've lived in Florida and played down there, which is warm,
Speaker 1: But I don't think you can compare. So we'll see,
Speaker 1: what's the worst weather you ever played in? The worst
Speaker 1: weather that stuff to say, I think we had a
Speaker 1: really tough snow game this year, which was brutal snow
Speaker 1: and soccer too well together. Well, they don't let you
Speaker 1: dress appropriately for that right now, exactly, You've still gotta
Speaker 1: You're still in your shorts, in your in your jersey.
Speaker 1: So well, congratulations, great moment for you, a couple of
Speaker 1: great moments for you, and certainly with your parents there
Speaker 1: along for the ride. We appreciate your time and thanks
Speaker 1: for joining us. Yeah, thank you so much. Christian Polisic
Speaker 1: Captain America. Seaton. Is he the greatest US soccer player
Speaker 1: of all time? I don't know. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: He's probably the one with the most like promise though,
Speaker 1: all right, who is the greatest? See? I would say
Speaker 1: that it's Abby Wombach, but alone in that all right,
Speaker 1: let me let me have it as men. Nice try there.
Speaker 1: Seaton's soccer. Um, yeah, he could be. I don't know
Speaker 1: that he is yet. I mean, okay, I don't think
Speaker 1: he's played on the big enough stage yet, even though
Speaker 1: he's still you know, he's doing well in Europe. If
Speaker 1: not him, then who um could be Landing? Still? Yes,
Speaker 1: I'd say Landing has the resume, World Cup goals, et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. But Plussica is ahead of his pace. Well,
Speaker 1: he's only twenty two. And if you've already run, you know,
Speaker 1: won in the Premier League and then Champions League, now
Speaker 1: you're gonna have the World Cup that kind of stage. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that's really important though, for that next step.
Speaker 1: There's so many young players with the United States World Cup.
Speaker 1: It's huge, yes, yes, And it's a young team. It's
Speaker 1: super young team. I think the average age is twenty
Speaker 1: four maybe, so you're looking at a run of twelve years.
Speaker 1: Maybe with everybody that could be pretty sweet. Maybe we
Speaker 1: could send you to a Qatar I'm in. Yeah, aren't
Speaker 1: they playing the matches at night? Because it's too damn
Speaker 1: hot there? And in the fall or winter? Yeah, that
Speaker 1: it's excruciatingly hot there. All right, update the poll results, mclovin.
Speaker 1: So right now we have up should baseball come down
Speaker 1: hard on pitchers? And seventy four percent say yes, So
Speaker 1: at least twenty six percent say no, Just let it be.
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask a question off Polisic, if you
Speaker 1: could invest in one of these young American stars, who
Speaker 1: would it be? And I think I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: you think these are dumb candidates. But Polisic, Zion Williamson
Speaker 1: twenty Patrick Mahomes twenty five, Simone Biles twenty four, Christian
Speaker 1: Polisic twenty two, who's like the biggest future star of that. Well,
Speaker 1: Simone has these Olympics coming up, and that's probably it.
Speaker 1: I was wondering that, yes, she can't do it at
Speaker 1: twenty eight, and it's once every four years we focus
Speaker 1: on her. You know, Mahomes would be the answer at
Speaker 1: twenty five. But basketball has a little bit of an
Speaker 1: extra kick, Like they get like two more than NFL players.
Speaker 1: Mark Well, you get the world wide recognition with basketball
Speaker 1: then more than you do football. But I need to
Speaker 1: see what happens was Zion in the next couple of years.
Speaker 1: Does he get his team into the playoffs? Do they
Speaker 1: do some damage in the playoffs? Is he a few
Speaker 1: future New York Nick? You know, so I would I
Speaker 1: would want to see what happens to him. But you know,
Speaker 1: that recognition, it's pretty impressive. Yeah, the club. What if
Speaker 1: Christian Ballisic in America had World Cup success? Yeah, there
Speaker 1: a chance that he could become the next Michael Phelps
Speaker 1: or something. Um, I don't know. I don't know, if
Speaker 1: he's that kind of transcendent star, but what he's doing
Speaker 1: at that stage, and sometimes what happens. This happens to
Speaker 1: bands where you're bigger outside of the United States than
Speaker 1: you are in the United States. You know, Landon Donovan's
Speaker 1: more famous in Europe England than he is in the
Speaker 1: United States. I go back to the band r EM
Speaker 1: one of the great bands. But I remember Mike Mills,
Speaker 1: who is the bass player and wrote a lot of
Speaker 1: these songs, and he said, we can't get arrested in
Speaker 1: the United States, but if they go to Europe, the
Speaker 1: fanfare is crazy there. Like David Hasselhoff, you know, he
Speaker 1: goes to he goes to Europe and he's huge, you know,
Speaker 1: Jerry Jerry Lewis wash wow, Wow, he was is in
Speaker 1: what France or something like that, and you're like, what
Speaker 1: what do you see? I don't know, it's kind of
Speaker 1: strange here. I just went from Christian Polistic to rim
Speaker 1: to David Hasselhoff. Yes, that's why we don't win a
Speaker 1: Sports Emmy. Yes, Polly, I always thought that was a
Speaker 1: fake story about Hasselhoff selling records in Germany. Oh he
Speaker 1: kills it all right. I got something special for you,
Speaker 1: and it's a portion of an interview I did yesterday
Speaker 1: was Zander Shaffley of the PGA Tour. He played with
Speaker 1: John Ram the first two days, first two rounds at
Speaker 1: the Memorial and he sensed something was up with John
Speaker 1: Ram with COVID And I'm only going to play three
Speaker 1: minutes of the interview. The entire interview can be heard
Speaker 1: on the Dan Patrick Show podcast. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I got a newsletter exclusive the Year of Todd an
Speaker 1: interview with Fritzie exclusive today. We were going to use
Speaker 1: it last night on the watch Party, but we ran
Speaker 1: out of time and Fritzie sat down to look back
Speaker 1: on some of his best moments from last year. And
Speaker 1: from what I'm told, it was funny. So Todd has
Speaker 1: Todd was involved and it was funny, yes, But from
Speaker 1: what I'm told, Toddler looked back, including the infamous onion
Speaker 1: bagel moment. Never forget, Yes, Todd, there was a rare
Speaker 1: moment where I was associated with somebody that had some
Speaker 1: type of comedic value which remains to be seen. We'll
Speaker 1: see what the viewers and listeners think. Thank you, Todd.

Speaker 1: limitations apply. Wow, do you know what? Jim? Maybe follow
Speaker 1: my chair. Wow, We're We're a little hungover and a
Speaker 1: little lack of sleep here today. He reminded me of
Speaker 1: the scene where Will Ferrell's elf and he's in the
Speaker 1: department store. Yes, coming up tomorrow morning, San It's gonna
Speaker 1: be here. I know him, I know him. And my
Speaker 1: thanks to Will Farrell who did a video for us
Speaker 1: last night, Brian Cranston, Reggie Miller, Adam Sandler, Darius Rucker.
Speaker 1: I feel like I let him all down. Josh Dumel,
Speaker 1: Melissa Ethridge, and then all of them followed up last night,
Speaker 1: did you win? And then I said no, we didn't win,
Speaker 1: and then you know, they tried to be nice and say, well,
Speaker 1: you know, it was always next year, and there is
Speaker 1: there's there's always next year. I taped an interview with
Speaker 1: Andrew Shoffley yesterday after the show, and I found out
Speaker 1: that he was with John Ram the first two rounds
Speaker 1: of the Memorial Tournament. He was playing in the same threesome.
Speaker 1: And I asked him about that reaction, you know, when
Speaker 1: he heard that John Ram is dominating, leading by six
Speaker 1: shots and going into the final day, and then he
Speaker 1: realized he had tested positive for COVID nineteen. Here is
Speaker 1: Xanders Shoffley. I knew I was privy of this information
Speaker 1: because I kind of made it my business. I he
Speaker 1: had something happened in the beginning of the week and
Speaker 1: we didn't really know sort of what was going on.
Speaker 1: I was asked to switch times with him for the
Speaker 1: pro am and then so I kind of probed. Then
Speaker 1: I asked him, so I'm on the range and I go, why, why,
Speaker 1: why why do you want me to switch times with you? Like,
Speaker 1: what what does anyone have to do at seven in
Speaker 1: the morning, you know what I mean? So he told
Speaker 1: me he's in contact tracing on Wednesday, and so knowing that,
Speaker 1: you know, my ky and I try to sort of
Speaker 1: keep our distance, knowing I got COVID in December from
Speaker 1: my girl and she she got it on a Monday,
Speaker 1: and I got it on a Thursday in morning. So
Speaker 1: I was kind of, you know, just from my own experience,
Speaker 1: not that I was, you know, expecting him to get it,
Speaker 1: but you know, I think maybe, you know, deep down,
Speaker 1: he knew that there may have been a chance, so uh,
Speaker 1: probably the worst. You know, it's so brutal, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, with this whole COVID thing happening, this is
Speaker 1: like the worst thing that could probably happen. You know,
Speaker 1: obviously he knew that he may get it, so he
Speaker 1: kind of had a little bit of a heads up
Speaker 1: versus you know, completely being blindsided. But so, you know,
Speaker 1: it's hard to win a golf Swurman on Saturday, and
Speaker 1: he kind of did. And so for him to sort
Speaker 1: of deal with that is is really sh and it's
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate, but um, you know, they stuck to their
Speaker 1: rules and unfortunately that's what that's what it was. Could
Speaker 1: they have done something if I if I put this
Speaker 1: to a vote with the players for John to be
Speaker 1: able to play on Sunday if he went out by himself. Sure,
Speaker 1: what do you think the tour would have had a
Speaker 1: problem with that? Yes, because Brandon Grace was leading a tournament,
Speaker 1: um I think it was a Barracuda after two rounds
Speaker 1: and he like he like he had to play really
Speaker 1: well to qualify for a major championship and he was
Speaker 1: leading after two or three rounds and the same thing
Speaker 1: he had to pull out. So for that reason alone,
Speaker 1: I think the tour would have obviously players like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: like you want to go out and shoot eighteen under
Speaker 1: on a course that guys are having a hard time
Speaker 1: breaking car and you know, win this thing by a million, Like,
Speaker 1: my hat's off to you, Like that's that's what I
Speaker 1: was trying to do. And so I think if it
Speaker 1: was a player vote, we'd just be like, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just you know, like let the guy do is thing,
Speaker 1: like he clearly deserves it. But the tour had to
Speaker 1: sort of, you know, watch their own back there. I
Speaker 1: felt terrible for him to be told in the manner
Speaker 1: that he was Sander, Like I thought that was that
Speaker 1: was that's like the most unprofessional thing in all honesty.
Speaker 1: It was that was pretty that was pretty gross. You know,
Speaker 1: I think you know it's Caddy. Adam is really protective
Speaker 1: over him and he does a really good job. So
Speaker 1: he was trying to get the cameras out of the way,
Speaker 1: but to have a camera on him and that's just
Speaker 1: come on, guys, like let him go. We have green
Speaker 1: harp up on the supporting intent, like tell him somewhere else.
Speaker 1: You don't got to make this a freaking televised deal,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I felt bad. Jim Nanson,
Speaker 1: Nick Foundo had no idea what was happening. So I'm
Speaker 1: watching the broadcast and you see John almost go to
Speaker 1: his knees. He's emotional. Oh gosh, I know when someone
Speaker 1: sees out there thinking, you know, worse things potentially, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, more tragic things, family family related. Right,
Speaker 1: he just had a you know, a bit of his
Speaker 1: newborn and so you know, of course it's gonna They're
Speaker 1: them doing this on the eighteen pole in public makes
Speaker 1: it much worse. And I'm sure they're getting some heat
Speaker 1: for this, as they should. At Sanders Shoffley and we're
Speaker 1: gonna put the entire interview up. You go to Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick dot Com. He had some He had a lot
Speaker 1: of interesting things to say, including what it's like to
Speaker 1: be there when you're gonna win the Masters and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it starts to crumble right in
Speaker 1: front of you. Also watching Tiger Woods back in two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight at Tory Pines at the US Open,
Speaker 1: and Xander's a young kid and he remembers that hud
Speaker 1: On eight team for Tiger that he needed to have.
Speaker 1: But and then US Open is going to be at
Speaker 1: Tory Pines. I still haven't heard. Is John Romm gonna
Speaker 1: be able to play in the US Open? Will he
Speaker 1: be out of COVID protocol? Paul Yeah, I saw a
Speaker 1: couple of things on Golf Channel that he would be
Speaker 1: able to play, but he's in. It's messing with his
Speaker 1: prep because he can't go out on the golf course
Speaker 1: with people he would normally go with trainer's staff, etc.
Speaker 1: So it is delaying his preparations. Xander and his dad,
Speaker 1: who's his swing coach, are working with Highland to select
Speaker 1: ten finalists and one will be selected to receive personalized
Speaker 1: video instructions from Zander and his dad breaking down their swing,
Speaker 1: finding their X factor and if you're interested in this,
Speaker 1: you can go to Highlands share your swing contest. The
Speaker 1: details are at highland dot com slash swing Contest. But
Speaker 1: I thought Xander was very forthcoming in the conversation I
Speaker 1: had with him. It looks a little bit like John
Speaker 1: Cryer the actor. Oh yeah, yeah, like pretty in pink
Speaker 1: and Ducky, Ducky yeah, Two and a Half Men, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I can see a little John Cryer in there. Yes,
Speaker 1: MC love yeah very much, the Two and a Half
Speaker 1: Men erat John Cryer. Yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean Ducky had the poofed up hair. I didn't see
Speaker 1: you as a pretty in pink guy. I'm surprised. Oh,
Speaker 1: I love those John Hughes movies. Like that's when it started.
Speaker 1: John Hughes started those those kind of movies, those those
Speaker 1: teenage rom coms. Yeah. Point, I watched some kind of
Speaker 1: wonderful just the other day. Eric Stoltz, Leah Thompson, uh,
Speaker 1: Chrais Scheffler. I think was the bad guy the good
Speaker 1: in the in the High School Guy good movie. Eric Stoltz,
Speaker 1: big fan. H Yeah, you know, like some kind of
Speaker 1: wonderful It's not as good. All I care about is
Speaker 1: me my drums and you Yeah, I didn't get you, man. No.
Speaker 1: I just felt bad for Eric Stoltz that because he
Speaker 1: was gonna be in Back to the Future, right, And
Speaker 1: then they replaced him with Michael J. Fox. They shot
Speaker 1: some of it, yeah, and they pulled him out yeah,
Speaker 1: and then they said, no, he's not the right guy.
Speaker 1: It takes a lot to do that. I think, ouch, ouch,
Speaker 1: you're already filming and you're like, wow, this isn't working
Speaker 1: at Eric, come on in and bring your playbook? What
Speaker 1: bring your script? Yes? I love him pretty in pink.
Speaker 1: That the high school students were sport jackets to school.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that happened with you guys. Never
Speaker 1: happened with us. I didn't even to a sport coat
Speaker 1: last night for the Emmy Award. All right, Final Hour
