Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Final Hour on this Monday. That went by quickly. Glad
Speaker 2: to be back. We were away for a little while,
Speaker 2: had a great time in Tahoe and the weather was great,
Speaker 2: had great guest. Todd wasn't there. Everybody had a good
Speaker 2: time and we're all We're all reunited now, all reunited.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Fritzie's here, Seaton, Marv Paully, yours truly in the back room.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 2: We finished last hour with our best and worst of
Speaker 2: the weekend. We only got to Fritzie and Seaton Marvin.
Speaker 2: Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 4: I got two best first best our boy, the big Dumper,
Speaker 4: Cal Riley winning home run derby during All Star Week
Speaker 4: for the MLB, and other best. Ronald Acunya Junior with
Speaker 4: maybe the best throw I've ever seen. He completed a
Speaker 4: double play he had He caught a fly ball and
Speaker 4: then threw a rope third base to get the other
Speaker 4: runner out from brightfield.
Speaker 2: Okay, better than Bo Jackson. Bo Jackson had to throw.
Speaker 2: That is one of the greats of all time out putting.
Speaker 5: Yes, Paul, I watched both and the throw by Bo
Speaker 5: Jackson years ago he caught it, stepped into it, and
Speaker 5: did the hop step. Acuna Junior was completely flat footed.
Speaker 6: It made no.
Speaker 5: Sense when the ball left his arm. It almost looks
Speaker 5: like AI. The ball keeps going and they got the
Speaker 5: runner at third. The announcers were blindsided, the runner was blindsided.
Speaker 5: The third baseman had no idea the ball was coming
Speaker 5: to him from a flat footed guy four hundred three
Speaker 5: hundred feet away.
Speaker 3: It was fascinating. Uh, did you have another one, Marvin?
Speaker 4: Those my two best?
Speaker 3: Okay? All right, Paulie bestin Works of the weekend.
Speaker 5: Best of the Weekend MLB going with individual uniforms team
Speaker 5: uniforms for all the All Stars. It was such an
Speaker 5: old school nod and I think it's going to be permanent.
Speaker 5: Really nice move by them. And then how about the
Speaker 5: Milwaukee Brewers fifty nine and forty. They've won ten in
Speaker 5: a row. They tied the Cubs in the Central and
Speaker 5: they do so while having some of the coolest uniforms
Speaker 5: in all of baseball. They have some great looks, great looks.
Speaker 2: So Blue Jays, Tigers, Astros, Phillies, Cubs, Brewers, and Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Those are your first place teams. And I'm looking at
Speaker 2: the odds the morning odds. This according to DraftKings World
Speaker 2: Series odds. It's still the Dodgers big favorites. Then it's
Speaker 2: the Yankees, then the Tigers, Phillies, Mets, Astros, and Cubs
Speaker 2: all kind of lumped in there. But it's the Dodgers
Speaker 2: right now to lose eight seven seven to three. DP
Speaker 2: show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com Twitter handle a DP
Speaker 2: show rich Lerner. As he is so capable of doing,
Speaker 2: we'll put into words the greatness of Scottie Scheffler. And
Speaker 2: if we dare dip our toe into the Tigers Scottie comparison,
Speaker 2: that'll be coming up. Stat of the Day brought to
Speaker 2: you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.
Speaker 3: Good morning.
Speaker 2: If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.
Speaker 2: The premiere for Happy Go More To is tonight in
Speaker 2: New York City. The movie comes out on Netflix on Friday.
Speaker 2: I have not seen the movie. I've talked to Sandler
Speaker 2: numerous times, and of course was only concerned about my
Speaker 2: performance in there, and he said, Danny, you get some laughs,
Speaker 2: you get some big laughs, and I don't. Once again,
Speaker 2: I'm there for a full day, and I probably was
Speaker 2: shooting things on camera for four to five hours. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't know what makes the movie, and you know,
Speaker 2: obviously to Sandler's discretion, but I think there's probably two
Speaker 2: or three scenes that I'm in that I'll have some
Speaker 2: substance to them.
Speaker 7: Yes, Seaton, I just showed last night, as a matter
Speaker 7: of fact, my son our scenes from That's My Boy
Speaker 7: for the first time, and he thought it was quite
Speaker 7: possible one of the best things he's ever seen this
Speaker 7: whole life. He thought your acting was spectacular. Uh, he
Speaker 7: thought that seeing us in the background was hilarious. He
Speaker 7: thought the general premise was was hysterical. I think that
Speaker 7: movie is grossly underrated, grossly underappreciated. That is a funny movie, Uh,
Speaker 7: and probably your best acting performance, do.
Speaker 3: You think so?
Speaker 8: Him seeing you say I have to clean it up
Speaker 8: a little bit.
Speaker 7: But I've seen it a hundred times and it makes
Speaker 7: me laugh just as hard as the first time. Seeing
Speaker 7: you say I think he craped his pants is so
Speaker 7: damn funny.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 7: The way that that's edited together, because it all goes
Speaker 7: so fast, it's like one like super quick edited montage
Speaker 7: kind of thing.
Speaker 8: And oh my god, is that funny.
Speaker 2: Yes, Sadler said, you know, I want you to be
Speaker 2: uh kind of a Jerry Springer like, and so I'm
Speaker 2: chasing down the stories and you know, it's it's supposed
Speaker 2: to be tabloid journalism. And Sandler gave us a lot,
Speaker 2: gave me a lot of freedom there, like there are
Speaker 2: times when you go, God, he doesn't know what he's doing.
Speaker 3: What is he doing? Given me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I still think just just go with
Speaker 2: it with Kidman and Aniston. That that, to me was
Speaker 2: probably my best part that I ever got, because he
Speaker 2: did say, Danny ad lib and he says this in
Speaker 2: front of everybody. So you got Kidman and Aniston are there,
Speaker 2: Dave Matthews, is there whole crowd of people in a nightclub?
Speaker 2: And I stop at one point because I stopped because
Speaker 2: that's that I ran out of the lines that they
Speaker 2: gave me and there's nobody doing anything. And then you
Speaker 2: hear Sandler in the back. He's in the shadows watching everything.
Speaker 2: You go Danny ad lib And I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, Now Aniston and Kidman know that I really
Speaker 2: can't act. So the movie comes out on Friday on
Speaker 2: Netflix and hopefully it lives up to the hype. I
Speaker 2: know that it's been a long time coming with this.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is going to be quite
Speaker 2: like Top Gun and then Maverick as opposed to Happy
Speaker 2: Gilmore and then Happy go More too.
Speaker 3: Yes, Pauline, That's what I was going to ask you.
Speaker 5: Is that that twenty thirty year delay you get the
Speaker 5: fans wanting it like Pop Gun Maverick. Everyone's seen that
Speaker 5: at least twice now.
Speaker 2: And I keep seeing this Subway commercial with shooting McGavin
Speaker 2: and he's in there and they have Happy Gilmore stuff,
Speaker 2: you know, cups and so Subway reaches out and says, hey,
Speaker 2: do you want to be in a commercial? It's a
Speaker 2: Happy Gilmore. So I'm thinking yeah, sure, and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, crickets. Then I see the commercial and
Speaker 2: they went with Brych and Deshambeau and shooting McGavin. Well
Speaker 2: I thought that I was going to be in the commercial.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Awkward, but it's okay. I'm glad Bryson got a little
Speaker 2: air time. Let me get a couple of phone calls
Speaker 2: in here, EH seven seven three DP show Brad in Connecticut,
Speaker 2: Hi Brad, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9: Good morning? Dan six feet a slimming two forty. A
Speaker 9: couple of comments Stephen Colbert going down, how about late
Speaker 9: night with Dan and the dan Ettes. Just an idea
Speaker 9: reluctant no, no, reluctant superstar that came up with Steve Carlton,
Speaker 9: Nikolai Djokovic. He seems to be kind of reluctant and
Speaker 9: one superstar nobody's mentioned that never gave interviews Secretariat.
Speaker 2: Thank you Dan, all right, thank you, Brad, thank you.
Speaker 2: I did see Secretariat later in his life. I visited
Speaker 2: uh was it Born Farms and trying to get an exclusive,
Speaker 2: didn't get an interview, but got to see that horse,
Speaker 2: like you just want to see, like what all these horses,
Speaker 2: all of these races, and that horse is the one
Speaker 2: horse that stands out And driving from Richmond, Kentucky, and
Speaker 2: I thought, why not, let's go see if we can
Speaker 2: see the horse, and we actually ran into somebody who
Speaker 2: was very friendly. This is when I was back in college,
Speaker 2: and somebody who was very friendly to us and at
Speaker 2: least got to see the horse.
Speaker 5: Yes, paulm It's Secretariat fall on tough times, like drinking
Speaker 5: bourbon every night, a new woman every night, or multiple
Speaker 5: women every day.
Speaker 2: I'd heard things, well, probably multiple women. Yes, I don't
Speaker 2: know about the bourbon under the guys of stud fees,
Speaker 2: although yeah, I know if if you get a chance
Speaker 2: to go on the bourbon trail in Kentucky, it is
Speaker 2: it is wonderful. Got a chance to do that a
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. Where you go to I mean,
Speaker 2: there are quite a few distilleries down there, but I
Speaker 2: remember going to Pappy van Winkle the Buffalo Trace. You know,
Speaker 2: I love my bourbon, but to be able to go
Speaker 2: there and actually see how it's made put in those barrels,
Speaker 2: it was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Tom in North Carolina, h Tom, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 9: DP, I got a couple of Best of the Weekend.
Speaker 9: A couple of other people hit on them. Shane Gillis
Speaker 9: at the sb's, you know, the WNBA players letting people know,
Speaker 9: you know, letting everybody know what's on their minds. And also,
Speaker 9: you know, I guess the best of the weekend is
Speaker 9: you know.
Speaker 10: Pole play is actually changing people's lives forever.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Tom.
Speaker 2: It feels like everybody has put out their own meme
Speaker 2: on it, and I kept thinking, is there anything I
Speaker 2: can add to this that all of a sudden there's
Speaker 2: a kiss camp and you have the CEO and he's
Speaker 2: not with his wife, he's with his head of HR.
Speaker 2: I don't understand how he lost his job, but I
Speaker 2: don't know if the head of HR, which that seems
Speaker 2: like that would be against But what is what is
Speaker 2: allowable with HR?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Thank you Todd, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 4: I think the biggest mistake that they made was the
Speaker 4: way they reacted to being on the you know, on
Speaker 4: the kiss cam or whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 3: There was a mistake before that.
Speaker 4: Well, yes, yes, but it's called dating, especially.
Speaker 8: At a concert.
Speaker 2: I like, now, I don't know what was true, but
Speaker 2: it seemed like he was mad that he in a
Speaker 2: private moment it was made public And I'm going, you
Speaker 2: are delusional if that's how you feel that you went
Speaker 2: to a concert and you were having a private moment
Speaker 2: at a concert and you were shown on the kiss camp.
Speaker 2: Once you know that they're showing the crowd, I would
Speaker 2: probably duck for cover or go get a beer or something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Or maybe you take your hands off her breast as
Speaker 2: you you know, holding her like a Dame's Titanic.
Speaker 8: Not not if you want, maybe maybe not go hand
Speaker 8: to broad.
Speaker 2: Come on, dude, you're an astronomer, but you can't see Jenny.
Speaker 8: What's happening right in front of you on the cover.
Speaker 3: Of Rolling.
Speaker 2: Oh my God, hand to hand Combat.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Balie.
Speaker 5: They always say everyone wants to be famous for something
Speaker 5: that's one where there's no upside.
Speaker 3: I don't see it.
Speaker 5: People get internet memed and and go viral whatever word
Speaker 5: you want to use, and a lot of them turn
Speaker 5: it in to something. They parlay it into something. That
Speaker 5: woman who kind of lost it on the airplane a
Speaker 5: few years ago, she's parlayed that into a financial career
Speaker 5: of some type. I don't know how these two people
Speaker 5: parlay this into something positive or lucrative.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this isn't haktua.
Speaker 2: I mean this is something where you know, these two
Speaker 2: families are altered. He's lost his job, she'll probably lose
Speaker 2: her job. I think Coldplay benefited. I think at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, you're like, oh damn Coldplay. Okay, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 4: Does Ashley Madison reach out to those two?
Speaker 3: Is Ashley Madison still a thing? I'm good, No way,
Speaker 3: I'll check it out.
Speaker 2: Fretzy, you check I'm hr here. You have my permission
Speaker 2: to go check. I think Ashley Madison came back after
Speaker 2: all of the drama that they had, Yes, Martin.
Speaker 4: The crazy part was people were saying, Oh, I can't
Speaker 4: believe they what viral? If that was me, I'm not
Speaker 4: worried about going viral. I'm worried about going to my house,
Speaker 4: no thing, going home, Yeah, going home if I have
Speaker 4: one still yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think cold Play describes what it was like when
Speaker 2: he got home, like high, honey, Hi, honey, I'm home.
Speaker 4: The concert was good?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, who'd you go with? Just some friends, some
Speaker 2: co workers? Okay, yes, tod.
Speaker 3: It appears that they're up and running.
Speaker 6: It's not referred to as was, but is a notorious
Speaker 6: dating site where cheating spousals can go looking for fairs.
Speaker 2: I'm doing a live read, okay are you?
Speaker 3: Are you doing a read a promotional read for them.
Speaker 4: I'm just taking a look at the definition from I
Speaker 4: just go to Refreey Madison and this is what it says.
Speaker 4: It is is not was.
Speaker 2: Okay, it was Chris in South Carolina. Good morning, Chris,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10: Good morning Dan meant a while five to ten post
Speaker 10: COVID two ten.
Speaker 9: Best of the weekend.
Speaker 10: I took Mormon's advice when you guys were out in Nevada,
Speaker 10: got me a Larry Johnson Teal Jersey. Got LJ to
Speaker 10: sign it Friday night, and LJ kind of looks like
Speaker 10: Charles Oakley now with the gray. Didn't see the gold tooth,
Speaker 10: but he kind of does look like Grandmama a little bit,
Speaker 10: and he's aged a bit worse. The weekend HVACT went out,
Speaker 10: but the Teal Jersey is pretty lit, and y'all talked
Speaker 10: about Peel earlier, so I wanted to call in and say,
Speaker 10: good deal, go Teal, thank you.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, thank you, Chris, good deal, go
Speaker 2: te you. I still don't have eight tracks. Now, I
Speaker 2: don't have an eight track player, but I have eight tracks,
Speaker 2: and you know, because I don't throw anything away. So
Speaker 2: my wife, I said, hunt, you never know, like albums,
Speaker 2: everybody gave away their albums and look what happened. They
Speaker 2: all came back. Not that eight tracks are coming back
Speaker 2: because the quality wasn't great like albums are you know,
Speaker 2: I guess because they're so large that you had CDs
Speaker 2: and then people were like, how much you know? I
Speaker 2: had fifteen hundred albums and then you gotta I gotta
Speaker 2: make room for like kids and stuff. And the albums
Speaker 2: are awesome, reading the album covers awesome.
Speaker 3: All right, let me take a break.
Speaker 2: Rich Lerner, great host of Golf Channel. We'll try to
Speaker 2: put into words the greatness of Sconnie Scheffler, and do
Speaker 2: we dare compare him to Tiger yet? Take a break
Speaker 2: back after.
Speaker 1: This, be sure to catch the live edition of The

Speaker 2: Seaton, would you update the poll results then we'll head
Speaker 2: to Ireland and talk to rich Lerner.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we got a few of them working right now,
Speaker 7: some of them extremely important topics. Actually all of them
Speaker 7: better All Star Weekend, MLB or NBA right now. MLB
Speaker 7: running away with that one.
Speaker 8: Is Teel overrated as a color fifty two percent have
Speaker 8: that as no.
Speaker 7: And for the PGA Tour, Scottie Scheffler is awesome or
Speaker 7: an issue, ninety percent have him as awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: I think issue is too strong. I think we would
Speaker 2: like to have more personality there. But I want to
Speaker 2: see greatness first and then personality after that. Speaking of
Speaker 2: which he's greatness and personality personified. He's rich Lerner, Golf
Speaker 2: Channel host, joining us from the coverage at Port Rush.
Speaker 2: Great to see you again, rich How are you feeling good?
Speaker 6: DP Let me just begin by saying that you began
Speaker 6: as I popped on with Ashley Madison and now we're
Speaker 6: toughing to Scott Scheffler. So let me quote Scotty and
Speaker 6: rhetorically asked, what's the point, Dan?
Speaker 3: Do you have an answer?
Speaker 6: You're really tough. Yeah. I've thought, looking hard, like everybody else,
Speaker 6: about who it is we're watching and what we're watching,
Speaker 6: and I've come to this. Scotti Scheffler is Leonidas from
Speaker 6: the movie three hundred, with the swarthy beard, the smoldering,
Speaker 6: quiet intensity. He reaks havoc, he completes the conquest, and
Speaker 6: then he goes home to the quiet, simple life on
Speaker 6: the apple orchard to tend to his wife and child. Yeah,
Speaker 6: he is. He's something else. I think, in arguably he's
Speaker 6: one of the best athletes in the world right now,
Speaker 6: I don't think you can dispute that he's there for
Speaker 6: stopping and sa Kuon Barkley and Alcaaz Sinner and Simone
Speaker 6: Biles and Shay gilgis Alexander, but he's not a hot commodity,
Speaker 6: it seems on the wider stage. So I wrote last
Speaker 6: night that maybe Scotty needs to show up but on
Speaker 6: the red carpet at the med gala. Maybe he needs
Speaker 6: to go insta yachting on the Mediterranean like so many athletes.
Speaker 6: Maybe he needs to digitize his entire life, but that
Speaker 6: just is not his thing. His thing is to play
Speaker 6: golf and play it to the best of his ability.
Speaker 6: So you know, Scotty cuts to him Rich, what's that, Dan?
Speaker 2: Are we being fair to him that we look for more,
Speaker 2: hope for more, We want more than just hey, you're
Speaker 2: great at what you do.
Speaker 6: I mean that that's the bane of every athlete and
Speaker 6: every performer, now is it's And I think that's Scotty's
Speaker 6: point is it is never enough. He can only be
Speaker 6: who he is And Okay, that doesn't seem maybe enough
Speaker 6: for people. And as he said, so he's won two
Speaker 6: majors and he'll show up in Memphis, and they'll say, Scotty,
Speaker 6: do you think he can win the career slam? Scotty,
Speaker 6: do you think he can catch Tiger? And I think
Speaker 6: what Scotty's trying to tell us is that this is
Speaker 6: not the be all end all, That if you get
Speaker 6: on that hamster, your wheel, it's at your peril. That
Speaker 6: if you have not tended to what's important in your life,
Speaker 6: that personal stuff, at some point, the weight of all
Speaker 6: of this, the expectations that the roaring chorus of the
Speaker 6: never satisfied, the daily referendums on social media, all of that,
Speaker 6: at some point will get to you if there no
Speaker 6: amount of wins can fill whatever hole you might have inside.
Speaker 6: And with due respect, I think we saw evidence of
Speaker 6: this in the last thirty years with the two previous
Speaker 6: greatest players in the sport in Tiger and Phil. So
Speaker 6: Scotty is I think wisely tending to that first. He
Speaker 6: is something of a holy warrior. If you paid attention,
Speaker 6: he said, I've been called to do this, and so
Speaker 6: that suggests some sort of of a higher power. I
Speaker 6: think the mistake that sometimes we make when we're looking
Speaker 6: at professed men of God is to think that because
Speaker 6: they've given over control to the higher power that somehow
Speaker 6: they're resigned to an outcome and they don't burn to win.
Speaker 6: They're just okay with whatever happens. Scotty burns to win,
Speaker 6: He's just not going to burn down the house in
Speaker 6: the process.
Speaker 2: Okay, At what point do we dip our toe into
Speaker 2: the Scotty Tiger early comparisons.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think we need to back off. Tiger was
Speaker 6: one of one. I mean, let's just let's step back
Speaker 6: for a second. If you want to do raw numbers,
Speaker 6: Scotty's twenty nine, just turn he has seventeen wins for majors.
Speaker 6: He won four times in twenty two, two times in
Speaker 6: twenty three, seven times in twenty forties one four so far.
Speaker 6: I'll give him conservatively one more win, maybe two. So
Speaker 6: Tiger at the same age of twenty nine had won
Speaker 6: forty tournaments forty to seventeen and had eight majors versus four.
Speaker 6: Tiger had ten seasons counted ten where he won five
Speaker 6: or more times. Tiger ended up with eighty two wins.
Speaker 6: You're looking for sort of you know, there's some ball
Speaker 6: striking comparisons that you can make in terms of sheer
Speaker 6: dominance over his peers. That's legitimate. Bradle has done that.
Speaker 6: I think in terms of gap between number one in
Speaker 6: the world and everyone else, I would say it this way.
Speaker 6: When Tiger won the US Open at Pebble Beach in
Speaker 6: twenty by fifteen shots, the gap between number one in
Speaker 6: the world and everyone else was never wider, not just
Speaker 6: in golf, maybe in any sport. Then it was right there.
Speaker 6: Tiger was on the shores of the Monterey Peninsula. Everybody
Speaker 6: else was in a row boat somewhere near Australia. Use
Speaker 6: that same analogy, I would say, right now, Scotty is
Speaker 6: on the shore the California shores, and everybody else is
Speaker 6: somewhere near Hawaii. Still quite a gap. Now, I will say,
Speaker 6: if you gain this out, you can begin to convince
Speaker 6: yourself that he could crawl into tiger major championship territory someday.
Speaker 6: And that's predicated on staying healthy and all of that.
Speaker 6: And we all sort of agree that Scotty's You never
Speaker 6: do know. That's the lesson of the last thirty years, Dan.
Speaker 6: You never do know what's going on in someone's life.
Speaker 6: But it looks and feels like Scotty has all of
Speaker 6: that taken care of it, has all of it together,
Speaker 6: so it would be a question of health and motivation.
Speaker 6: So he's four majors right now. Let's just say between
Speaker 6: twenty nine thirty five players absolute prime, Scotty wins one
Speaker 6: major year as we sit here right now, that doesn't
Speaker 6: seem far fetched. That would get him to ten majors.
Speaker 6: That would put him ahead of some bedrock legends of
Speaker 6: the sport. That would put him ahead of Ben Hogan
Speaker 6: and Gary Player. Then you say, okay, between thirty five
Speaker 6: and thirty eight, could he get a couple of more
Speaker 6: Reasonably you could say yes, that would put him at
Speaker 6: you know, at twelve thirteen, and then you're asking for
Speaker 6: maybe three or four more majors up until say in
Speaker 6: his early mid forties, and he would have a crack.
Speaker 6: We'd be in serious discussions about getting the fifteen. That's
Speaker 6: where Tiger's at, long ways away a dominant player and
Speaker 6: absent the kind of you know, sort of buzzy storylines
Speaker 6: that a company modern athletics celebrity we are going to
Speaker 6: have to enjoyce for the pure athletic achievement, because he
Speaker 6: will not dabble in that other stuff. He's not going
Speaker 6: to the met galand he's not going to Mediterranean on
Speaker 6: a yacht. You're not going to see a whole ton
Speaker 6: of him on Instagram except for what he does on
Speaker 6: the golf course. That's about it. Enjoy it. He's a
Speaker 6: hell of a player.
Speaker 2: He's a rich Lerner Golf Channel host joining us from
Speaker 2: Port Rush, the coverage with Golf Channel, Peacock and of
Speaker 2: course NBC. I liken him a little bit to the
Speaker 2: Joker that he just shows up and plays. He's not
Speaker 2: exciting how he plays. He does love going home, and
Speaker 2: there's just a this is what I do. This is
Speaker 2: my job, and I go do that job and then
Speaker 2: my job is done. After that, where's a lot of athletes,
Speaker 2: Hey I did that. Now my job is different. But
Speaker 2: I need to be out there. I need to be talking.
Speaker 2: I'm selling something, I'm a brand, you know all of
Speaker 2: these things. Whereas Joker one day just walks away, like
Speaker 2: I just feel like you just say that that's it.
Speaker 2: I'm done, and you're talking about Scotty Like he said,
Speaker 2: golf doesn't define me. So he may just say I've
Speaker 2: done what I wanted to do. Now it's time to
Speaker 2: do something else. Or I have a calling to do
Speaker 2: something else. You know, we brought up Mike Trout, Pete Sampras,
Speaker 2: Andrew Luck, Tim Duncan.
Speaker 3: They just this is what I do, but this isn't
Speaker 3: who I am.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they I think what people are getting at, and
Speaker 6: I like the comparison to Joker. You know, I watched
Speaker 6: Joker for the you know, I love basketball, you know
Speaker 6: that just you know, for the pure art of how
Speaker 6: he plays the game. You know, figures out angles, ground
Speaker 6: bound and still is able to dominate in a world
Speaker 6: of you know, high flyers. So I think, you know, Scotty,
Speaker 6: it's why is he out there? This is what he
Speaker 6: was getting at on Tuesday. And it's not for the
Speaker 6: financial reward. He's made ninety million this point. It's not
Speaker 6: to be beloved, you know, You're not looking for that adulation.
Speaker 6: It doesn't appear it doesn't need that from the public.
Speaker 6: He's out there because again, if heals, he has this calling.
Speaker 6: So what what is the calling? It's it's even given
Speaker 6: this talent, go use it, go inspire people simply by
Speaker 6: the way you play. There is no other ulterior motive there,
Speaker 6: which is unusual for Scottie. You know, he's not Bryson
Speaker 6: de Shambo, who's you know, so like nakedly and obviously
Speaker 6: in pursuit of love from the public, you know, and
Speaker 6: he wants to grow his his YouTube empire. It's not
Speaker 6: Rory where you have this kind of hope and heartbreak
Speaker 6: week in week out drama, which is very appealing. It again,
Speaker 6: is just this kind of spartan holy warrior sort of
Speaker 6: a vibe. And and he's more I would say at
Speaker 6: this point, he's more admired than he is beloved. I
Speaker 6: think he I think he will get to beloved status,
Speaker 6: you know, just by winning, just by by being great,
Speaker 6: being humble. Your humility is is kind of not the
Speaker 6: way of this world anymore, is it. I mean, it's
Speaker 6: we're really going to look at me period in time,
Speaker 6: and that's not That's not Scotty Scheffler. Again, he's just
Speaker 6: not going to play that game. So you know, we
Speaker 6: just have to sit back and enjoy this for for
Speaker 6: what it is. A a a guy who's all in
Speaker 6: for the right reasons on competing, playing the game the
Speaker 6: right way. He is a very good another way to
Speaker 6: say this, you know, like we say so and So
Speaker 6: is a great competitor. Scotty is a great competitor. He's
Speaker 6: a great game player. He I call him right shot Scottie.
Speaker 6: He's he has like a next level understanding of where
Speaker 6: to put the ball, what is the right shot? And Dan,
Speaker 6: I know you love basketball, he played it. I love hoops.
Speaker 6: There was a piece of video circulating on social while
Speaker 6: back Scotty playing pickup basketball. He played high school ball
Speaker 6: in Dallas. He was kind of not surprisingly, he was
Speaker 6: a glue guy, a defender and a rebounder. But in
Speaker 6: this one clip, he makes a simple bounce passing a
Speaker 6: little pocket pass to a cutter and the guy has
Speaker 6: a wide open layup. He misses it. Who's there for
Speaker 6: the follow But Scotty Scheffler to me, he was telling
Speaker 6: because he makes the right play, Like he has this
Speaker 6: understanding what is the right play to make? Now there's
Speaker 6: certain guys who just have that understanding. My only concern
Speaker 6: going forward is is where are the challengers? Who is
Speaker 6: going to you know, look look him in the eye
Speaker 6: and say I want I want a piece of this.
Speaker 6: And I don't know. I know, Paulie feels like we're
Speaker 6: in a little bit of a you know, a softer era.
Speaker 6: He's wondered, you know, where's Lanny Watkins, who would look
Speaker 6: right through you. Where's Nick Faldo, who wouldn't speak to
Speaker 6: you for eighteen holes? Where where's Raymond Floyd? Where are
Speaker 6: those those guys so be curious to see? You know,
Speaker 6: who steps in here and wants a piece of Scotti.
Speaker 2: I wish Tiger was twenty five years younger. I'm sure
Speaker 2: Tiger does too, because we wondered who, but who was
Speaker 2: Tiger's rivals? Like who constantly stepped up? You know, Phil
Speaker 2: found the banana peel all the time, But who was there?
Speaker 2: Kind look at all most of the memorable moments with Tiger,
Speaker 2: He's going against guys who weren't big names.
Speaker 3: You know, I would say, you know, there was a journeyman.
Speaker 6: You know, I would look the guys who famously had
Speaker 6: some success against Tiger would be guy just passed away?
Speaker 6: Any fewer the Tiger was twenty years old at that point,
Speaker 6: there were mostly journeymen. Think about Bob May at the
Speaker 6: PGA Championship at Valhalla, who took Tiger, you know, to
Speaker 6: a playoff. Think about rockum mediate Tiger on one good
Speaker 6: leg at Torrey Pines, the eight US Open. I will say,
Speaker 6: in fairness to Phil, you know, still won the PGA
Speaker 6: Championship of two thousand and five. He won a Master's
Speaker 6: in two thousand and six. He won a Master's in
Speaker 6: twenty ten. He shot sixty four to Tiger seventy five up.
Speaker 6: I'll never forget it twenty twelve at Pebble Beach in
Speaker 6: the final round. Phil, Yes, he slipped on that banana peel,
Speaker 6: but Phil had. There was a point in time where
Speaker 6: Phil figured out how to play against Tiger and how
Speaker 6: to beat him on occasion. VJ two. VJ was a
Speaker 6: hard man. VJ won nine times and four at a
Speaker 6: point where nobody thought anybody but Tiger could be number one,
Speaker 6: and VJ became number one. But yeah, at this point,
Speaker 6: think Rory's the best bet. Rory's thirty six. But after that,
Speaker 6: I don't see I don't see anybody at currently that
Speaker 6: looks like they're at Scotti's level.
Speaker 3: Do you get to go out and play port rush today?
Speaker 6: No, thankfully. I played with Pauli last week at Royal Dublin.
Speaker 6: I hit thirteen diving death hooks and you know in
Speaker 6: the in the heather and the gorse and all the
Speaker 6: junk over there to traps through that looking for golf
Speaker 6: balls with my size thirteen's is just an unpleasant experience.
Speaker 13: Dan.
Speaker 6: So, now I took the day off from Port Rush
Speaker 6: to be with you.
Speaker 2: What is the toughest golf course that you know? The
Speaker 2: weekend guy can play the toughest golf course you think
Speaker 2: in America?
Speaker 6: Is I think? I mean from my money, Pine Valley
Speaker 6: you can get out of you get out of out
Speaker 6: of play on that golf course. You're in for a
Speaker 6: long day.
Speaker 3: If you can get on it, I would.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, Pinehurst number two was not fun. Oakmont was
Speaker 2: not fun.
Speaker 6: Oakmont's brutal. Did you play it then?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah it had played me.
Speaker 6: By the way, I'm curious. How was Taha and the
Speaker 6: American Century?
Speaker 2: It was beautiful, Like it's just it's sort of our
Speaker 2: summer super Bowl where you have all of these guests
Speaker 2: there and they're all there playing golf, relaxed atmosphere, scenery
Speaker 2: is wonderful and uh, we we had a great time.
Speaker 6: You have a celebrity just we have a celebrity story?
Speaker 3: Hm? Do we have a celebrity story?
Speaker 9: Guys?
Speaker 2: I mean I go to bed at like a thirty
Speaker 2: rich so I don't know. I kind of missed out
Speaker 2: on what's going on late night there? Yes, Paul I.
Speaker 5: Would just say seeing it in person the first time
Speaker 5: for us, the intensity of some of the celebrity golfers
Speaker 5: like Steph Curry, John Smoltz and others that were on
Speaker 5: the range way early, being very very serious about the competition.
Speaker 3: No, he's looking for you know something, you know juicy here,
Speaker 3: you know, thanks here, like game.
Speaker 6: I give you some I've covered, you know. Obviously the
Speaker 6: at and T Pebble Beach pro Ian back when it
Speaker 6: was the celebrity event, used to go to the Bob Hope,
Speaker 6: even been over to the UH the one on the
Speaker 6: DP World Tour in Europe. There is one at Saint
Speaker 6: Andrews Carnousti and Kings Barnes. I followed Bill Murray one
Speaker 6: day at Pebble Beach. You know, Murray riffing for sixteen
Speaker 6: seventeen holes, and when he's in the mood and he's
Speaker 6: on is like watching if you like comed He's like
Speaker 6: watching Tiger play golf and shoots sixty four, you know,
Speaker 6: and when Murray's out there, he's Carl Spackler. You could imagine,
Speaker 6: you know, it's in the hole, that kind of stuff,
Speaker 6: even though the ball is careening toward the Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 6: It's nowhere near the hole, but anyway, Murray on seventeen,
Speaker 6: you know the par three seventeenth Dan at Pebble, famous
Speaker 6: where Nicholas hit the flag sticking seventy two and watching
Speaker 6: chipped in in nineteen eighty two to part three oceans behind.
Speaker 6: Hits this horrendous t shot right up against the grandstands,
Speaker 6: probably thirty yards right of the hole. Couldn't be any worse,
Speaker 6: and he trapes his over the grandstands packed and he
Speaker 6: walks over to his ball, and somebody from the top
Speaker 6: of the grandstands stands up and looks down and yells
Speaker 6: at Murray, Hey Bill, Kevin Costner made birdie here, and Murray,
Speaker 6: without hesitating, looked up and said, Kevin Costner made water world.
Speaker 6: I thought that was exceptional timing. And then on top
Speaker 6: of it, he stoned his pitch shot to about three
Speaker 6: feet and made the putt for par So.
Speaker 2: That great coverage. Great coverage. Again, I enjoyed it as
Speaker 2: I always do live from the coverage at the Open Championship.
Speaker 2: Rich Safe travels home. Thanks for joining us, Thanks Dan,
Speaker 2: appreciate it. The rich Lerner Golf Channel I still see
Speaker 2: a little bit of Carl Spackler and Scottie Scheffler with
Speaker 2: the beard just a little bit. For some reason, I
Speaker 2: keep coming back to Carl Spackler, one of the great characters.

Speaker 2: we Learn, What's in store tomorrow?

Speaker 1: Search FSR to listen live. Last Call for Phone Calls?
Speaker 3: What we Learn?
Speaker 2: What's in store Tomorrow? On the program, I want to
Speaker 2: go take you back to an answer that Jordan Speith
Speaker 2: gave about Scotty Scheffler. He did this over the weekend
Speaker 2: and I played it earlier in the show, and it
Speaker 2: really sums up Scotty Scheffler. I think Jordan Speith, who's
Speaker 2: known Scheffler for a long time, both from Texas, and
Speaker 2: he had this to say about Scotty being a golfer.
Speaker 14: He doesn't care to be a superstar. He's not transcending
Speaker 14: the game like Tiger did. He's not bringing it to
Speaker 14: non golf audience necessarily. He doesn't want to go do
Speaker 14: you know the stuff that you know, a lot of
Speaker 14: us go do corporately anything like that. He's he just
Speaker 14: wants to get away from the game and separate the
Speaker 14: two because I know that he, you know, at one
Speaker 14: time felt it was too much. Who's taking it with him?
Speaker 14: And you know whenever he made that switch, I don't
Speaker 14: know what when it was, but you know, to have
Speaker 14: his hobbies, he's always with his family, you know, they're
Speaker 14: always doing stuff. I think it's more so the difference
Speaker 14: in personality from any other superstar that you've seen in
Speaker 14: the modern era, maybe any sport.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we brought up Barry Sanders and I got
Speaker 2: to know Barry his sophomore year, junior year at Oklahoma State.
Speaker 2: And I've never met somebody who was he avoided like
Speaker 2: personal things, anything that would look like he made a
Speaker 2: lot of money. You know, he famously called me up
Speaker 2: at Sports Center saying he was going to buy a
Speaker 2: new car. Well it wasn't a new car. It was
Speaker 2: a used car, and it was a Honda Accord, and
Speaker 2: he would in all seriousness, he was wondering how that
Speaker 2: would look. When he was with the Lions his rookie year,
Speaker 2: he was worried about that he just didn't care about
Speaker 2: material possessions. He didn't care about being a star. He
Speaker 2: didn't care about any of that stuff. And he's one
Speaker 2: of those guys that he got on the football field
Speaker 2: and you're thinking a guy who has that personality in
Speaker 2: his body, and it just wasn't when he got.
Speaker 3: Off the field.
Speaker 8: But he didn't care. He truly did not care. And
Speaker 8: Scotty might be that kind of guy.
Speaker 3: He just great. Yes, Martin was.
Speaker 4: Larry Burden that same category as far as his game
Speaker 4: was so exciting, he had so many highlights, but off
Speaker 4: the court, he wanted nothing to do with being a
Speaker 4: star or famous or anything like that.
Speaker 2: I can't speak to that with authority. Having been around him.
Speaker 2: He seemed pretty simple. But I don't know, Larry. I've
Speaker 2: interviewed it a few times, but I couldn't give you
Speaker 2: an opinion on that. Jim in Michigan, Hi, Jim, what's
Speaker 2: on your mind today?
Speaker 15: Hey?
Speaker 9: Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 15: I appreciated your insightful commentary at the beginning of the show.
Speaker 15: Three comments about Scotty's situation. Number One, I have a
Speaker 15: problem with turning the TV off. I think I've discussed
Speaker 15: this before.
Speaker 13: I'd rather not watch somebody that's got that big a
Speaker 13: lead and we know where the outcome is going to be,
Speaker 13: any more than I want to watch some Hollywood celebrity
Speaker 13: make a fool of himself at Pebble Beach. Number two,
Speaker 13: I think Scotty in its initial comments should have said
Speaker 13: something about the players he was up against. That's kind
Speaker 13: of a complimentary thing some of these players do, and
Speaker 13: I think it puts a human side to what they've faced.
Speaker 13: And Three, I love my kids, I love my grandkids,
Speaker 13: but I'm a little overdone with the family thing. I mean,
Speaker 13: give the wife's acknowledgment, give the child and acknowledgement.
Speaker 15: I don't think it's a time and a place. I
Speaker 15: realize he's got no control over that, but it just
Speaker 15: was too.
Speaker 3: Much for me.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Jim. Sure Mother's Day is a
Speaker 2: great day around your house. How about we go around
Speaker 2: the room. What did we learn on the program?
Speaker 3: Yes, Ton golf doesn't define Scotty chefis.
Speaker 4: Some may have a problem with that, but you're fine
Speaker 4: with it.
Speaker 3: I'm okay with it. I get I don't know. Not
Speaker 3: everybody has to be dripping with personality. The Seaton. What'd
Speaker 3: you learn today.
Speaker 2: You didn't find Tiger to be very exciting, not as
Speaker 2: an interview No, because he doesn't want to be. If
Speaker 2: if he wanted to be, he would be great. Marvin,
Speaker 2: what about you?
Speaker 4: You think Teal is overrated?
Speaker 15: I do?
Speaker 9: I do?
Speaker 3: Paulie, what did you learn today? Play is association?
Speaker 9: Todd?
Speaker 3: What did I learn?
Speaker 6: We all learn?
Speaker 4: You're not sure what hit the cutting room flow, but
Speaker 4: you maybe in two or three scenes when Happy Gilmore
Speaker 4: Too comes out on Friday.
