Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Final Hour in this Monday Dan and the Dant Dan
Speaker 2: Patrick Show, we'll give you our best and worst of
Speaker 2: the weekend coming up more of your phone calls as well.
Speaker 2: We say good morning to our newest affiliate, It's Sports
Speaker 2: Radio ninety five seven Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Iowa, home
Speaker 2: with the Hawkeys and Iowa Sports and our thanks to
Speaker 2: Doug Wagner, the program director making this happen all right
Speaker 2: eight seven to seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick
Speaker 2: dot com, Twitter handle a TP show. The final hour
Speaker 2: poll question is going to be what set o connor?
Speaker 2: We got a few of them working here, Dan, let
Speaker 2: me update you on all of tho. All right, as
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, let's see rooting for the White
Speaker 2: Sox to win asap or keep losing? Right now, that one.
Speaker 3: Is holding strong at eighty five percent of the audience
Speaker 3: want them to keep losing, mean spirited? Who had the
Speaker 3: worst weekend? John Ram about forty percent of that just
Speaker 3: behind them or the White Sox and Michigan Football, Michigan Football.
Speaker 3: And second, as a matter of fact, there and then
Speaker 3: who had the best weekend? It is a dead even
Speaker 3: tie between Scotty Scheffler and Noah Ales.
Speaker 4: Not ironically, how about that?
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, Scotty Scheffler was listed at plus six thousand
Speaker 2: to win the event with five holes to play, and
Speaker 2: rightfully so, because it looked like John ram all he
Speaker 2: I do is par the back nine and he was
Speaker 2: going to win the gold. Well he fell apart. Scotty
Speaker 2: Scheffler played great. That's one of those where you want
Speaker 2: to see somebody win an event, not somebody lose an event.
Speaker 2: So you won it, and you can make the argument
Speaker 2: John Rohm lost it, but Scotty Scheffler shot at sixty two.
Speaker 2: I mean all the great rounds of golf. Now, once again,
Speaker 2: when you play at the Masters, US Open, British Open, PGA,
Speaker 2: you're playing for yourself, you're playing at the Olympics, and
Speaker 2: now you're playing for your country. While you're playing for yourself,
Speaker 2: you're going to get the gold medal, but you're presenting
Speaker 2: your country. And I think that took Now. I can't
Speaker 2: speak for Scotty Scheffler, but it took on more of
Speaker 2: an importance because the gravity of I'm playing for my
Speaker 2: country and the reason why I felt this was because
Speaker 2: I watched Scotti Scheffler. He's won majors. He didn't get
Speaker 2: emotional like he did yesterday. You'd stand on the podium
Speaker 2: and you hear the anth hand over your heart, he's
Speaker 2: singing the anthem, and all of a sudden, you're in
Speaker 2: a foreign country and you're probably thinking of everything, millions
Speaker 2: of things flashing in front of you, of what this means,
Speaker 2: watching the Olympics when you're growing up, that I ever
Speaker 2: think I'd win a gold medal. I mean he might
Speaker 2: have thought, hey, I can win a green jacket. I
Speaker 2: don't know if I could ever win a gold medal,
Speaker 2: but he got that chance, like Novak Djokovic, the same thing.
Speaker 2: He's accomplished all of these things, as decorated as any
Speaker 2: tennis player in history. It's the one thing he didn't have,
Speaker 2: gold medal, and he was consumed by it. It brought
Speaker 2: him to his knees, emotional, you know, grabbing a hold
Speaker 2: of his family because they knew how much it meant.
Speaker 2: That's where you can try to script this, but you can't.
Speaker 2: That's what makes sports so great. Because as much as
Speaker 2: Scotti Scheffler probably thought all right, I'll get up there,
Speaker 2: get the podium to myself, and then they'll give me
Speaker 2: the gold medal, and then they play the anthem and
Speaker 2: then I fly home. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you get up there. And I've done this before in
Speaker 2: a you know, a much lesser degree, but winning a
Speaker 2: Sports Emmy where you go, all right, just get up there,
Speaker 2: thank people, get the trophy and walk off, and then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you get up there and you
Speaker 2: realize what it means to you, and it hits you,
Speaker 2: and it hit me hard. First time I won one,
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, I can't put words together,
Speaker 2: trust me, guys, Danet, oh like it it hit me,
Speaker 2: you know when I won my Sports Emmy. But individual
Speaker 2: Sports Jemmy there, Yeah, Which one of you guys will
Speaker 2: cry if we when we win a Sports Emmy? Marvin?
Speaker 2: Will you cry when we get up there?
Speaker 4: Easily? I am the black big for meal.
Speaker 5: That's a shirt.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right.
Speaker 5: Great line, I'm crying right now.
Speaker 2: Okay, Todd, would you cry if we won the Sports Timmy?
Speaker 6: I would be very excited, but I don't think I'd
Speaker 6: be brought to tears for some reason.
Speaker 2: Okay, Seating, would you cry? I'm a crier, but I
Speaker 2: don't think I would know. Paulie, Oh yeah, you're not crying.
Speaker 7: I would like to say no, and the assumption is no.
Speaker 7: But like you said, things can surprise you in life.
Speaker 7: I bet Scotti Scheffler when when he won it. You're
Speaker 7: you're totally right now, you're saying it was it's not
Speaker 7: normal for him to win this. He was putting his
Speaker 7: stuff back in his bag when Tommy Fleetwood missed the
Speaker 7: putt and he and his kindie goes, hey, thanks, like
Speaker 7: my five little bro hug, and he starts putting stuff away,
Speaker 7: grabbing his phone, and then fifteen minutes later it's like
Speaker 7: he's bawling his eyes out.
Speaker 4: Yes to Paully might say, this is very emotional.
Speaker 2: I myself, I would be emotional because of what that
Speaker 2: would represent to all of us here. But yes, you
Speaker 2: can sit there and go, oh yeah, I'll be fine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I won't get emotional here. Then you get up there
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, it's quiet and everybody's staring
Speaker 2: at you, and you're like, I got to put words
Speaker 2: to I get paid to put words together. Except for
Speaker 2: if you went into you know, Hall of Fame. Those
Speaker 2: kinds of things I'm a mess. I'm terrible. So that's
Speaker 2: why I'm going to have you guys speak when we
Speaker 2: win that Sports Emmy. You guys are going to do
Speaker 2: this speaking. I'm not going to say anything, but.
Speaker 5: I've had the same speech since before COVID.
Speaker 2: I know it's been a while, been a while, but
Speaker 2: I did wonder about, you know, the twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: Ryder Cup with all the great golfers that we've had.
Speaker 2: You know, Keegan Bradley going to be the captain there,
Speaker 2: but he got Scheffler, Bryce and de Shambeau, Xander Schaffley,
Speaker 2: Colin Moore, Cowlong, Wyndham Clark, Sahi, Tha Gala. These are
Speaker 2: all really, really really good golfers and feel a whole
Speaker 2: lot better after we got humbled in the Ryder Cup
Speaker 2: this last time, now on our soil in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: All right, we got our pole question for the final hour,
Speaker 2: Let's go around the room. Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2: Let me start with the Black Dick, Vermeal, Marvin, your
Speaker 2: best and worst of the weekend?
Speaker 4: All right, best of the weekend.
Speaker 8: Anthony Edward's going twenty six points in only seventeen minutes
Speaker 8: as the usbat Puerto Rico and then worse at the
Speaker 8: weekend our men the three on three, they got eliminated.
Speaker 8: They lost twenty one to six to the Netherlands. So
Speaker 8: no gold medal for Jimmer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jimmer got hurt. Jimmer got hurt. I think maybe
Speaker 2: tore some muscles there, But I don't remember playing time
Speaker 2: being this much of a discussion. I saw a topic
Speaker 2: bar on the Mothership that said, you know, is Steve
Speaker 2: Kerr creating this drama because he didn't play Jason Tatum.
Speaker 2: Steve Kerr is as savvy as anybody I've ever met
Speaker 2: when it comes to coaching. I don't think he goes,
Speaker 2: you know what, let me create something here a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean he benched Joe el Embiid. But can you
Speaker 2: remember any other Olympics where we were discussing or trying
Speaker 2: to debate about the playing time. I get it, Jason Tatum,
Speaker 2: great player, great year, and he sat down and you
Speaker 2: didn't get to play. This is social media, is what
Speaker 2: this is. Because I didn't go, oh my god, as
Speaker 2: long as you're winning and I got somebody out there
Speaker 2: getting buckets, Ben, I don't need to put you in
Speaker 2: This isn't you know, participatory trophy time. We got to win,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna win with who I think deserves to
Speaker 2: be out there, the right person to be out there.
Speaker 2: I mean, the players should be fine with this. What
Speaker 2: did Mike Shrushevski say. He coached a team that probably
Speaker 2: had as many egos as any other team in the
Speaker 2: history of basketball. He was there with the Dream Team
Speaker 2: as an assistant coach, and what did he say. I
Speaker 2: made them take a pledge that we were going to
Speaker 2: be all in on this, a pledge like we're going
Speaker 2: to be collective here. This isn't about playing time. This
Speaker 2: is about We're going to take a pledge.
Speaker 9: That's all.
Speaker 2: This is. Let's win, and if Steve Kerr wins, then
Speaker 2: I don't think this is going to be a topic
Speaker 2: of conversation. It shouldn't be, and I'm surprised it is
Speaker 2: this much. But it feels like, once again the time
Speaker 2: of the year, what there is to discuss, what there
Speaker 2: is to debate? So factor that in, okay, I let
Speaker 2: you behind the curtain. Is this manufactured? In my opinion
Speaker 2: it is, But this is the debate shows going. We
Speaker 2: gotta have something to talk about here. How about Jason
Speaker 2: Tatum not playing. Oh, Steve Kerr trying to you know,
Speaker 2: mess up things here. You know, I don't think Game
Speaker 2: Bay got upset with Joellenbiid being bench, did they? Well?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Pauling, I agree with you, and I think you're
Speaker 7: like ninety percent right on what you're saying. But I
Speaker 7: consider myself a pretty knowledgeable basketball guy, but not an expert,
Speaker 7: no way an expert. When I see Derek White playing
Speaker 7: and Jason Tatum not playing.
Speaker 2: They don't play the same position.
Speaker 7: I understand, but I, in my mind think Jason Tatum
Speaker 7: is drastically better than Derek White week to week as
Speaker 7: a basketball player.
Speaker 5: So I think it.
Speaker 7: Needs to be explained to people. When you see it now,
Speaker 7: there is tons of reaction. I have the same reaction, like, Okay,
Speaker 7: I know they don't play the same position, but the
Speaker 7: way Jason Tatum plays his position is really really good.
Speaker 2: But I'd rather have Kevin Durant than Jason Tatum.
Speaker 7: And I'm fine with that. I think that, But I
Speaker 7: think a lot of people who are casual basketball fans
Speaker 7: would ask for an explanation, and in a measured way.
Speaker 5: That's how I But have we done this before?
Speaker 2: When's the Lancet Olympics, where you go lead a big
Speaker 2: controversy over playing time.
Speaker 7: I would say go back, and this is a long,
Speaker 7: long time ago when John Thompson selected that Olympic team
Speaker 7: and he said, trust me, I know what kind of
Speaker 7: guys I want, and he took Dan Marley, who we
Speaker 7: didn't know, over really good players.
Speaker 2: But that's taking somebody, not the playing time.
Speaker 5: That's the last time I was telling.
Speaker 2: About playing time. And that's where we've manufactured this because
Speaker 2: somehow somebody wants to make Steve Kerr look bad or
Speaker 2: that he doesn't like Jason Tatum. Draymond Green on his
Speaker 2: podcast came out and said that his coach, you know,
Speaker 2: should have played Jason Tatum. Well, that led me to
Speaker 2: believe exactly what I'm believing is this is about getting clicks.
Speaker 2: This is about if Draymond said, hey, trust Steve Kerr.
Speaker 2: He's one of the great coaches in NBA history. Nobody
Speaker 2: cares about that. But if he's like, hey, you know what,
Speaker 2: he should have played him, Yes.
Speaker 3: It's almost like Steve Kurr isn't getting any credit for
Speaker 3: being a good coach because of the team he coaches.
Speaker 2: Yes, and that happens So I mean Chuck Daley didn't
Speaker 2: get credit for the dream team.
Speaker 3: Who couldn't win with that Warriors lineup? Who couldn't win
Speaker 3: with that team? That's Mark, that's Mark Jackson's team that
Speaker 3: he should have gotten all of those rings?
Speaker 2: Yeah, who couldn't do that?
Speaker 3: He has a little bit of that, And it's sort
Speaker 3: of carrying over into the Olympics where's he's not respected
Speaker 3: by some people as a coach.
Speaker 2: If Pop did this, I don't think people would have
Speaker 2: a problem with this. No, I don't If Phil Jackson
Speaker 2: did this, I don't think people would have a problem.
Speaker 4: Yes, Mark, we also love to complain because the US
Speaker 4: they're winning all their games comfortably, and we still have
Speaker 4: something to complain about.
Speaker 2: We want something to complain about. These debate shows. We're
Speaker 2: gonna remember Caitlyn Clark. Well, nobody said anything about Caitlyn Clark.
Speaker 2: Why because the team is great, they didn't need her
Speaker 2: and she might be sitting on the bench and then
Speaker 2: you know what that would have created. Why did she played?
Speaker 2: Oh are they dissing her by keeping her on the
Speaker 2: bed like this is? This is we're in the entertainment business.
Speaker 2: Little girls want to see her play? Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2: We're creating something here, Paul. Best and worst of the weekend,
Speaker 2: I got two.
Speaker 5: I don't have a worst. I got two best. I
Speaker 5: gon know.
Speaker 7: USA swimmer Bobby Fink back to back Olympics with Olympic
Speaker 7: gold in the fifteen hundred and he got a world record.
Speaker 7: Great job by him. And then Saint Lucia, the small
Speaker 7: country Julian Alfred won Wednesday hundred meter women's gold medal.
Speaker 7: They were going crazy in Saint Lucia. I think it's
Speaker 7: less than two hundred thousand entire country. Julian Alfred with
Speaker 7: the gold.
Speaker 2: Todd Best and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 6: Giants pitcher Blake Snell never completed eight innings over his
Speaker 6: nine year career through no hit of Friday Night and
Speaker 6: the three nothing went at the Reds. Good job, Blake Snell.
Speaker 6: Worst of the weekend. Staying with baseball, Blue Jay's manager
Speaker 6: John Schneider intentionally walks Aaron Judge in the second inning Salday,
Speaker 6: Nobody's on base, two outs, forty thousand plus booing at
Speaker 6: Yankee Stadium. Judge becomes the first player intentionally walked with
Speaker 6: the bases empty in the first twinnings of a game
Speaker 6: in the past half century.
Speaker 2: How about this one the last Yankee to be walked
Speaker 2: intentionally three times in a game after you know or
Speaker 2: before Aaron Judge. If you said Bernie Williams g would
Speaker 2: be correct.
Speaker 4: Let's stop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, here comes here comes that? What stat of
Speaker 2: the day Seaton Best and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 3: I'm going with a best and it is the country
Speaker 3: of Ireland. Daniel Wiffin, the swimmer, getting a lot of attention. Right,
Speaker 3: He's picked himself up a gold out of nowhere, got
Speaker 3: a bronze as well.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: Total medals for Ireland at the Olympic Games between nineteen
Speaker 3: sixty and nineteen ninety two they had six, and all
Speaker 3: that time, the whole country had six medals. This week,
Speaker 3: the first week of the Paris Games, they've had seven.
Speaker 2: I think the over utter was two and a half.
Speaker 3: They had more medals in one week than they had
Speaker 3: in thirty two years. The word powerhouse is being thrown around.
Speaker 3: It's a little early for that, but I'm just saying,
Speaker 3: don't sleep on Ireland.
Speaker 2: Let's go right, yeah, okay, power house Okay, h Noah
Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania, Hi A, Noah, thanks for holding best and
Speaker 2: worst of the weekend.
Speaker 10: Hey, Dan, so I got a short story to put
Speaker 10: a previous topic the rest and two best of the weekend,
Speaker 10: like Paulie So, like you mentioned earlier, shut up and
Speaker 10: Spanish just pronounced kayat. And I didn't learn that from
Speaker 10: going on the internet or anything or in the schoolroom.
Speaker 10: I learned that from ninth grade basketball when my teammate
Speaker 10: was chirping to the rap about one of the calls
Speaker 10: and his mom was in the stands going Kiatajonatan Kyrite.
Speaker 10: That always made me and my mom crack up. Tell
Speaker 10: them that story. But so the first one. My first
Speaker 10: best of the weekend is Steven Superman winning a bronze
Speaker 10: in the pommel horse, as a tremendous gymnast that he is.
Speaker 10: And my second best is Katie Bladeki winning her fourth
Speaker 10: goals in the eight hundred meters freestyle race. That's incredible.
Speaker 10: And the fact that she hasn't given a firm I
Speaker 10: believe she hasn't given a firm yes or no to
Speaker 10: participating in a fist.
Speaker 2: You shouldn't give any indication, thank you. Noan Her and
Speaker 2: si oone Biles don't owe anybody anything. I don't want
Speaker 2: you to make a decision now enjoy it. Why now
Speaker 2: we want to let's fast track this to twenty twenty
Speaker 2: eight in La. Just enjoy it. You've earned that, both
Speaker 2: of you have. You don't owe anybody an explanation for
Speaker 2: any of this.
Speaker 6: Yes, it's bad enough when they ask a coach or
Speaker 6: player are you coming back next season? This is four
Speaker 6: years from now, so it's kind of insane.
Speaker 2: Well, I think Simone Biles brought up that, hey, when
Speaker 2: you get married, when you're having a kid, Hey you
Speaker 2: had a kid, when you have in your next kid?
Speaker 2: And we sort of have that mindset when it comes
Speaker 2: to athletics as well, Hey you won uh are you
Speaker 2: going to compete in the next Olympics. It's it's constant
Speaker 2: moving forward and nodding allowed, not allowing these athletes coaches
Speaker 2: to kind of revel in the moment there. And I
Speaker 2: agree with Simone Biles, and I don't know if Katie
Speaker 2: Leadecki felt the same way, but Simone's like, you know,
Speaker 2: let's just enjoy this. How about we take a break.
Speaker 2: We will talk to Jeremy Shapp from the Mothership. He'll
Speaker 2: join us from Paris. Coming up. More of your phone
Speaker 2: calls as well. We're back after this.

Speaker 2: Jeremy Sham. He will join us from Paris. Matt in Virginia.
Speaker 2: Hey Matt, what's on your mind today? Thanks for holding.
Speaker 12: Good morning Dan. My mess on the weekend was Devin
Speaker 12: Hester getting into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and
Speaker 12: especially his speech where he highlighted other return guys like
Speaker 12: Brian Mitchell and Josh Cribbs and supporting their induction as well.
Speaker 12: I just wanted to see what you thought the future
Speaker 12: was for guys like that. I'm a Washington fan, so
Speaker 12: I saw Mitchell for a decade and what a difference
Speaker 12: he made. I mean, there's only one guy in NFL
Speaker 12: history with moral purpose yards than Mitchell, and that's Jerry Rice.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I hope that. You know it's you're asking these writers,
Speaker 2: these voters, you know, to factor in other things because
Speaker 2: you know it takes takes a long time for them
Speaker 2: to go, well, the specificity of somebody's role, like you're
Speaker 2: a special you know, Matthew Slater, is he a Hall
Speaker 2: of Famer? I mean he might play six ' ten
Speaker 2: plays a game. First Team All Pro comes down to
Speaker 2: a place kicker like Adam Vinitari. Yes, Morton Anderson, yes,
Speaker 2: but it take It's taken a while for them to
Speaker 2: be recognized. A punter taken a while. It took Ray
Speaker 2: guy for a long time. But you have to be
Speaker 2: the absolute best. And I think it takes research to
Speaker 2: realize what Brian Mitchell did and how dangerous, how valuable
Speaker 2: he was. But Devin Hester, he set the bar and
Speaker 2: now you're going to be compared to Devin Hester. And
Speaker 2: that might be the tricky part here, but I hope
Speaker 2: I just know that how backbreaking that could be opening kickoff.
Speaker 2: It's like Ricky Henderson hitting a leadoff home run in
Speaker 2: a game, like it's oh my god, we're already behind
Speaker 2: and it just breaks your back or gain. You just
Speaker 2: tie the score, you kick off and they take it back.
Speaker 2: I mean, just those guys are so few and far between. Yeah, Pauline, I.
Speaker 7: Know we talk about Dione Sanders a lot on the show,
Speaker 7: but if you took away his career as a defensive back,
Speaker 7: he's flirting with the Hall of Fame as a return
Speaker 7: man and he didn't return all of them, but he
Speaker 7: returned a lot. He had six punt returns for touchdown
Speaker 7: and three kick off returns for touchdown. Out He would
Speaker 7: have to do a lot more work there, but it
Speaker 7: shows that just his return game was flirting with all
Speaker 7: time like Cordero.
Speaker 2: Patterson, to me is one of the more dangerous guys,
Speaker 2: versatile guys. Now is he a Hall of Famer? Probably not,
Speaker 2: but man, it was dangerous. Like you know, when he's
Speaker 2: back there, it's all you know. Now all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: it changes. But I don't know if you're going to
Speaker 2: get more kick returns, and I mean I hope we do.
Speaker 2: I hope we get touchdowns. I hope we get excitement
Speaker 2: there instead of seven yards, twelve yards, you know, maybe
Speaker 2: thirty yards.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, but then we're going to say, but that
Speaker 4: was in the dynamic.
Speaker 2: As yeah, you're probably right about that. All right, more
Speaker 2: phone calls coming up. We spoke with Jeremy Shapp earlier
Speaker 2: this morning in Paris, and I started off by asking
Speaker 2: the dan Ads, beginning with Todd, whether or not they
Speaker 2: thought that Jeremy Shapp of the Mothership could speak fluent French.
Speaker 3: Yes, Seaton, one of the many languages he speaks. Yes, Marvin, Yes,
Speaker 3: Paulie probably majored in English. But yes, I'm gonna say,
Speaker 3: no way.
Speaker 9: Are you asking you?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 9: Do I get to yes, I'm going to invoke my
Speaker 9: Fifth Amendment privileges. I did take nine years of French,
Speaker 9: but it made virtually no impact on me. I try,
Speaker 9: I do put in the time and the effort, but
Speaker 9: usually it just gets me into trouble. I joke, I
Speaker 9: know just enough to be dangerous.
Speaker 2: Dan nine years, nine years.
Speaker 9: Fourth grade through twelfth grade. In fact, I went to
Speaker 9: a junior high school in New York that was primarily
Speaker 9: a French school. Basically every other kid spoke French, and
Speaker 9: so I was already too far behind. But I blame
Speaker 9: my teachers.
Speaker 2: They were yeah, cool, Yeah, of course punishment. Let's look
Speaker 2: back on Sunday. The biggest story of Sunday Djokovic, Scheffler,
Speaker 2: Noah Asles other no.
Speaker 9: Lyles' is the biggest story. It's the one hundred meters dash.
Speaker 9: It's you know, historically one of the marquee events at
Speaker 9: the Olympic Games. Golf is something I still don't really
Speaker 9: associate with the Olympics, frankly. And it goes the same
Speaker 9: for tennis. I mean, they've been part of the programs
Speaker 9: now for some time, tennis more than golf. But you know,
Speaker 9: those are sports that have their other moments. When you're
Speaker 9: talking about the Olympics, you're talking about Jesse Owens and
Speaker 9: Bob Hayes and Jackie Joyner Kersey and Donovan Bailey and
Speaker 9: Hussein Bolt and this is the you know, the race
Speaker 9: that confers the status is the fastest man in the world,
Speaker 9: the fastest human on the planet. And it wasn't just
Speaker 9: that he won. It was a spectacular race. And you
Speaker 9: know how it goes to the Olympics and you know,
Speaker 9: you know these things are spread out all over city
Speaker 9: some cases all over country and you don't get to everything.
Speaker 9: But last night I went up to this God de France,
Speaker 9: just you know, outside of the peripheriq North Past and
Speaker 9: San Deni because I wanted to see one hundred meter
Speaker 9: dash in person. I'd never seen it in person before.
Speaker 9: I'd seen the four by one hundred a few times,
Speaker 9: and and the way they build up the height, the
Speaker 9: drama as the race is about to start. I mean,
Speaker 9: it's you know, it's like it's like when Roy Jones
Speaker 9: used to fight or Mike Tyson used to fight. They really,
Speaker 9: you know, made it a show. And by the time
Speaker 9: that race starts and you've been sitting there, and you know,
Speaker 9: I was enjoying the other stuff too. You know, I'm
Speaker 9: a big fan of the hammer throw, but you are,
Speaker 9: you're you're ready for that, you know, ten seconds and
Speaker 9: it was a spectacular race. And we were all standing
Speaker 9: there just like the runners themselves at the end, wondering
Speaker 9: who'd want that's a great race.
Speaker 2: I mentioned to the audience. I mentioned to the dan
Speaker 2: Ets quite a few times. One of the greatest moments
Speaker 2: I ever had at the Olympics was in London with
Speaker 2: Usain Bolt and watching what he was running the two
Speaker 2: hundred meters. TV spoils you because it keeps everything in frame.
Speaker 2: When you're there watching, you don't, I mean, you get
Speaker 2: the true sense of just how fast somebody is on TV.
Speaker 2: You're like, wow, they're all kind of running together, and
Speaker 2: there it is. It's over.
Speaker 9: It flattens the whole thing. It flattens the whole thing.
Speaker 9: And you know, as I said, I've been to the
Speaker 9: four by one hundred a couple of times. I remember seeing,
Speaker 9: you know, Donovan Balley's team Team Canada win in ninety
Speaker 9: six in Atlanta. The US often you know, messes up
Speaker 9: the pass, uh, but the one hundred and to see
Speaker 9: those fastest humans on the planet and you know, I
Speaker 9: think it was nine seven, nine to nine, nine to
Speaker 9: one all of the guys. We're talking about twelve one
Speaker 9: hundredths of a second separating first place and last place
Speaker 9: and not in no lyles having to overcome a tough
Speaker 9: start to win the race. And you know, it's been
Speaker 9: a long drought for America in the sprints. This is
Speaker 9: you know, an event that we've dominated since the revive
Speaker 9: of the Olympic Games in eighteen ninety six in Athens,
Speaker 9: Dan and then all the great names and that, you know,
Speaker 9: the Eddie Tolans and the Ralph Metcalts and the Jesse
Speaker 9: owens Is and Harrison Dillard's and we could go on
Speaker 9: right Ay's and Hines. It's uh, it was. It was
Speaker 9: really exciting.
Speaker 2: Talking to Jeremy Shapper the mothership joining us from Paris,
Speaker 2: USA swimming in Australia. Do we not like each other?
Speaker 2: Is it a true rivalry?
Speaker 9: I mean it always has been, you know. I you know,
Speaker 9: I'm not around the swimmers asking them about you know,
Speaker 9: do you know, uh, you know what you feel about
Speaker 9: this person personally, et cetera, et cetera. But it's always
Speaker 9: been one of the great rivalries in swimming. And I
Speaker 9: think you know, you know, I'm not sure the current
Speaker 9: medal count going back all the way beginning, but if
Speaker 9: you're to ask me, who are the two nations that
Speaker 9: have dominated swimming over the last one hundred and thirty years,
Speaker 9: it's Australia, right and the United States. The United States
Speaker 9: number one, Australia number two. And you know, there was
Speaker 9: a lot of disappointment for the US in this swim competition.
Speaker 9: There was a lot of greatness. There was a lot
Speaker 9: of triumph. There was, you know, absolute transcendence from Katie Ladecci,
Speaker 9: you know, the fifteen hundred and the eight hundred and
Speaker 9: the four by two hundred. But but you know, there
Speaker 9: were some disappointments, and not just you know, for people
Speaker 9: that we kind of had an eye on as up
Speaker 9: and comers, but for people who had proven themselves previously.
Speaker 2: Simone Biles twenty seven, Katie Ladeci twenty seven more likely
Speaker 2: to be in Los Angeles in your opinion, you.
Speaker 9: Know, they Simone Biles, you know, I think it's sick
Speaker 9: of answering that question. I think Katie Ladeci's sick of
Speaker 9: answering that question. You know, they're both twenty. I think
Speaker 9: they were born within three or four days of each other.
Speaker 9: They came into these games dan as arguably the two
Speaker 9: greatest ever in their respective sports, and they emerge from
Speaker 9: these games, you know, only furnishing those legacies. I mean,
Speaker 9: what they've done. And you know at twenty seven, which
Speaker 9: there have been exceptions, and it's been changing over the years,
Speaker 9: you know, as athletes and these sports become professionalized, extending
Speaker 9: their careers. But you know that there was a time
Speaker 9: when twenty seven was geriatric in these sports and they're
Speaker 9: not just winning, right, they're still dominating. So you know,
Speaker 9: why wouldn't they do it? Only because you would have
Speaker 9: to imagine it's going to take so much out of them.
Speaker 9: If these next games, right were back in Beijing, or
Speaker 9: you know, they were in Stockholm, if they were anywhere
Speaker 9: other than Los Angeles in the United States, I would say, yeah,
Speaker 9: I think that's this is a good way to go out, right,
Speaker 9: and you've got your records, your legacy is on question.
Speaker 9: But there are going to be so many opportunities.
Speaker 13: A lot of.
Speaker 2: A lot of money attached to those two going into
Speaker 2: the next Olympics. Though that that has to play a factor.
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think there's going
Speaker 9: to be, especially being in the US. But you know,
Speaker 9: is it as if though there isn't gonna be money
Speaker 9: even if they walk away Now, I don't know, I
Speaker 9: don't know. I think there. I mean, obviously there will be,
Speaker 9: but I think it's a different order of magnitude if
Speaker 9: we've got those games in the US, and I mean,
Speaker 9: if they're competing in those games in four years.
Speaker 2: Give me the Paris Review of Paris as a host city.
Speaker 9: I mean, look, I wasn't there in nineteen twenty four
Speaker 9: Dans last time they had the Olympics, or in nineteen
Speaker 9: oh four or nineteen hundred the first time, I should say,
Speaker 9: those were the two previous occasions on which Paris played
Speaker 9: host of the Olympics. Look, I don't want to jinx it.
Speaker 9: We still got a full week to go. A lot
Speaker 9: can happen in the last week. But you know, when
Speaker 9: we talk about these things in terms of logistics, in
Speaker 9: terms of you know, putting on a good show, I
Speaker 9: think you know, they're getting an A plus or you know,
Speaker 9: whatever the French equivalent in the school system is. You know,
Speaker 9: it was kind of crazy right to roll the dice
Speaker 9: on that opening ceremony down the set. It was such
Speaker 9: a massive, over the top production and there was, you know,
Speaker 9: a very good likelihood it was going to rain on
Speaker 9: their parade, and of course it did. But they you know,
Speaker 9: they they like to take their chances, and they did.
Speaker 9: And so far, I mean, you know, I think about this,
Speaker 9: If things weren't going well, you've got the media of
Speaker 9: the world coming together here in Paris, you'd be hearing
Speaker 9: about it. And so far I think you know it's
Speaker 9: been a spectacular backdrop to some great competition.
Speaker 2: All right, before we say goodbye, you took nine years
Speaker 2: of French when you were in grade school, in high school,
Speaker 2: So why don't you bid us a doo with a
Speaker 2: little bit of French from Paris.
Speaker 9: I could sing some of the Marseilles that would be
Speaker 9: along San font De God, don't make me do it, Damn,
Speaker 9: I'll just say au vois mercy.
Speaker 1: Dan.
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a bronze for that, more
Speaker 2: than I deserve. Yes, that's true. Be safe over there,
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 9: Love you.
Speaker 2: Jeremy Shah from The Mother Show over there covering the
Speaker 2: Olympic Games. All right, final results of the poll. Question
Speaker 2: what we learn, what's in store tomorrow? We're going to
Speaker 2: try to accomplish that. Sports history will have that for
Speaker 2: you as well. A couple more best and worst of
Speaker 2: the weekend, like this one from Jeff in Indianapolis.
Speaker 12: Maybe you best and worst, I'll give you my I'll
Speaker 12: give you my my worst first, because I think my
Speaker 12: best is a lot more important. My worst is the
Speaker 12: three on three Olympic basketball is horrible. I was thinking
Speaker 12: about you watching over the weekend about your rants of
Speaker 12: these guys carrying the ball, and it was amazing watching
Speaker 12: these guys carry the ball extra steps. It was just
Speaker 12: just awful. I think one guys actually walked more than
Speaker 12: a marching band. Okay, my my best is D ran
Speaker 12: a segment. I think it was Friday or Saturday evening,
Speaker 12: I forget which it was called in the Company of Heroes.
Speaker 12: Did you happen to catch that?
Speaker 2: Yes? I do. Yes.
Speaker 12: So for anybody who potentially missed that, google it and
Speaker 12: watch it. It'll make you smile, it'll make you cry
Speaker 12: a little bit. It was really really well done.
Speaker 2: And a former NFL player, Donny Edwards is the one
Speaker 2: who heads this up. Where taking these veterans who were
Speaker 2: there and served in World War Two there Normandy. Omaha,
Speaker 2: it's very very moving. And I've said this before when
Speaker 2: I went over there and I kept telling my wife
Speaker 2: for over a year, I said, Honey, I've got to
Speaker 2: go to Normandy. I have to. I don't know why
Speaker 2: I have to go. And so she surprised me and
Speaker 2: then planned a trip and it was even greater than
Speaker 2: I thought. I was reading books. I had to go.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. It was hitting me like that.
Speaker 2: But I had to go walk the beach, went to
Speaker 2: these different museums over there, you meet with people, go
Speaker 2: to the US Cemetery.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 2: Spectacularly moving, prideful, sad like so many emotions hit you.
Speaker 2: But when you look from where and I did this,
Speaker 2: I went into the water to look up where these
Speaker 2: machine guns were mounted. And these are eighteen nineteen year
Speaker 2: old kids and they're getting off these boats and you
Speaker 2: can't even really see the machine guns, and the way
Speaker 2: they had them set up. They angled their bullets in.
Speaker 2: They didn't shoot straight ahead in case they missed. They
Speaker 2: wanted to angle them to make sure that they were
Speaker 2: hitting as many Americans as possible. I can't imagine getting
Speaker 2: off one of those boats and you see people around
Speaker 2: you dying and you just had to keep going, keep going,
Speaker 2: keep going, keep going. But they were so disguised up
Speaker 2: here in these hills where they had little caves cut out,
Speaker 2: and they were there just firing away as fast as
Speaker 2: they could to kill as many as they could. But
Speaker 2: to be able to go and witness that, to see that,
Speaker 2: to feel that who never leave you, never ever leave you.
Speaker 2: Well take a break. Last call for phone calls right
Speaker 2: after this.

Speaker 7: Hey Dan?
Speaker 13: It's uh five five five six on a good day.
Speaker 10: Uh one sixty.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I wanted to talk a story about riding running with
Speaker 13: the bulls and going to a bullfight. Okay, uh it
Speaker 13: started in California when I rode a couple of bulls
Speaker 13: with some cowboys created for.
Speaker 2: The drenalne rush.
Speaker 13: Ever, so I decided the next year to go to
Speaker 13: Spain with my brother for his high school graduation. He's
Speaker 13: ten years younger. Went to Spain portgal a couple weeks
Speaker 13: decided to end in Pamplona running with the bulls, and
Speaker 13: my mom said, well, if you don't come back, you
Speaker 13: should have come back. And uh so we got we
Speaker 13: ran and we started out. We took a course earlier
Speaker 13: in the day with a guy who'd been running for
Speaker 13: like years for safety, and when we started, we end
Speaker 13: up running, and we ended up making it about halfway through.
Speaker 13: And since my brother is a little bit younger, not
Speaker 13: as fast he bulls were coming up. We were in
Speaker 13: a back into a corner against a burger king of
Speaker 13: all places in Spain. Uh and yeah right, a bull
Speaker 13: was one of the six They have six like torri bulls,
Speaker 13: the meat ones, and then they have six cattle bulls
Speaker 13: that sort of hurt them. And when this one was coming,
Speaker 13: he was coming right at us and swooped his horns
Speaker 13: probably within a good two feet of our stomachs, you know,
Speaker 13: when we were sucking them in and uh real coming
Speaker 13: to Jesus moment right there. But we ended up after
Speaker 13: it ran passed, we foll end up following it into
Speaker 13: the arena. And then later that night, the same bulls
Speaker 13: that run are the ones that they fight. And I,
Speaker 13: you know, I've never been to a bull fight. We're like, okay,
Speaker 13: went so, I didn't know that they weakened the bulls
Speaker 13: before they fight them. So they come out and it's like,
Speaker 13: looks like Samurai gear on horses, and they weakened the
Speaker 13: bull a couple of times by stabbing it, and then
Speaker 13: they've let it fight, and I was, man, that's not
Speaker 13: a spare.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, that's a little bit too much detail there
Speaker 2: to Yeah, we get necessary detail, yea, necessary, We get
Speaker 2: the idea those warriors in there. Todd said that was
Speaker 2: a whopper of a story with the yeah, we might
Speaker 2: make a team Bowl T shirt Team Bowl. Yeah, there's
Speaker 2: Dames sports history, Paul, this is fun.
Speaker 7: Nineteen sixty, for the first time, two MLB managers were
Speaker 7: traded for each other. Detroit traded Jimmy Dikes for Cleveland's

Speaker 7: home run five hundred record for the fewest at bats
Speaker 7: to the five hundred home run mark, and then of
Speaker 7: course popular baseball commentator, oh just baseball commentator Alex Rodriguez.
Speaker 7: In twenty thirteen, Bud Selig banned him from the league
Speaker 7: for two hundred and thirteen games for taking foreign dancing
Speaker 7: drugs illegal foreign dancing drugs. That number of games were
Speaker 7: reduced to one sixty two.
Speaker 2: On this date. In twenty twelve, Usain Bolt won one
Speaker 2: hundred meters at the London Olympics. The winning time yesterday
