Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two on this Friday, Meet Friday. It's
Speaker 1: a pie Friday. I have two pies to the face
Speaker 1: to take. Initially it was four because I thought Bronnie
Speaker 1: was going to go in the first round and the
Speaker 1: dan Nets would each get a pie to smash me
Speaker 1: in the face with PAULI came up with maybe a
Speaker 1: clause in the pie, you know, punishment.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 3: I have England winning the Euros, and if England would win,
Speaker 3: then he's going to get rid of the other two pies.
Speaker 3: I still have to take two today, but if not,
Speaker 3: if the Euros goes to Spain, then I have four
Speaker 3: pies coming up on Monday.
Speaker 4: So it's either.
Speaker 3: Two pies today and no more, or two pies today
Speaker 3: and four on Monday. The Euros will be held on Sunday.
Speaker 3: But we also have the triggers fired up, and so
Speaker 3: are we flat top smashed cheese, French fries. It's National
Speaker 3: French Fry Day. And pecan pie.
Speaker 4: Wait.
Speaker 3: We had somebody calling in from Texas who said that
Speaker 3: I was mispronouncing peak. It's not Peacan or Peacan pie,
Speaker 3: It's pecan pecan pie. Okay, that's not the pie that
Speaker 3: I'm taking to the face. I'm taking two pumpkin pies
Speaker 3: to the faces in Texas. Thank you, Tom, Thank you.
Speaker 3: So it's pecan pie, pecan pie, pecan I know it's tough. Well,
Speaker 3: growing up, we couldn't afford a pecan pie or pecan or.
Speaker 5: You are to said this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you don't want to know.
Speaker 3: I'll just say, and we got pie coming up to there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: variety of pies there. Stat of the Day brought to
Speaker 3: you by panadi America, the official trading cards of the
Speaker 3: Dan Patrick Show. Keep an eye on Wembledon. The men's
Speaker 3: semis going on. Should be a great weekend at Wembledon.
Speaker 3: Lots of soccer this weekend as well. Bill Belichick has
Speaker 3: a new job. I don't think he coaches in the
Speaker 3: NFL again. I said that when he was let go
Speaker 3: by the Patriots and we thought he was going to Atlanta.
Speaker 3: Didn't happen in Atlanta, and then nobody else was interested
Speaker 3: in Bill Belichick. How many wins is he away from
Speaker 3: surpassing Don Shula on the all time victory list. That's
Speaker 3: the only thing I'm curious about with Belichick, And I
Speaker 3: don't know how important it is for Belichick to have
Speaker 3: the most wins in NFL history. I think he's widely
Speaker 3: considered the greatest coach in NFL history.
Speaker 5: Yes, Don, I'm looking at Don Shula three forty seven,
Speaker 5: Bill Belichick three thirty three, which would be fourteen.
Speaker 3: Okay from time fourteen, So he needs fifteen wins. He
Speaker 3: could have had that the last four years if he
Speaker 3: had a decent team. Uh, seatan, how can you?
Speaker 6: How can that not be a factor? I mean, that's
Speaker 6: something that literally takes your entire career to get to
Speaker 6: that level, and now you're less than a full season
Speaker 6: away from it. That wouldn't bother you. I don't know
Speaker 6: it's Bill Belichick. I don't know how he's wired. I
Speaker 6: don't know if that's important to him. I know Don
Speaker 6: Shula had some critical things to say about Belichick and
Speaker 6: cheating scandals. I don't know if Bill you know that
Speaker 6: he's vindictive and says, oh, you used to be the
Speaker 6: late Don Shula. He's no longer the all time victory leader.
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's important to him. I don't
Speaker 6: know if anybody's ever asked Bill. I don't know if
Speaker 6: Bill would ever be honest about and say, yeah, it's
Speaker 6: really important. That's why I want to stick around coach,
Speaker 6: get a couple more seasons. But how do you get
Speaker 6: that close to it and have it be like I mean,
Speaker 6: I guess it's Nie, but it's not that. I mean,
Speaker 6: there's only a few people in the history that can
Speaker 6: do it. Andy Reid is the next closest to him.
Speaker 6: He's what it's got to be ten years younger than
Speaker 6: Bill Belichick or me. I don't know if it's quite
Speaker 6: that much, but you don't think with another guy like
Speaker 6: that sort of coming up from behind him. You're this
Speaker 6: close to the top. It's like I got we got
Speaker 6: to almost the top of the mountain, but we didn't
Speaker 6: need to look over the side.
Speaker 4: Andy Reich I could have catch. I don't think Bill
Speaker 4: has to worry about Andy Reid.
Speaker 3: But I remember asking Barry Sanders, I said, how did
Speaker 3: you walk away with ninety nine career touchdowns? And he goes,
Speaker 3: it's easy, like he didn't care. I said, you didn't
Speaker 3: want to get to one hundred. He goes, no, it was.
Speaker 6: One hundred, the all time most by anyone ever in
Speaker 6: the history of the game. No, okay, then not that
Speaker 6: big of a deal.
Speaker 3: But this is a guy who pulled himself out of
Speaker 3: a game, didn't go back into a game, and he
Speaker 3: lost the rushing title because he didn't care.
Speaker 4: Christian Okoye, I.
Speaker 3: Think he needed, like, I don't know, ten more yards
Speaker 3: to be the rushing leader. And Wayne Fons goes, you
Speaker 3: want to go in and win the rushing title. He goes, no,
Speaker 3: let my backup.
Speaker 2: Go.
Speaker 6: Belichick's probably coaching for fifty years and then He's just
Speaker 6: he's going to get right there to where he can
Speaker 6: almost pass don Chula and be like, I don't know,
Speaker 6: I don't care.
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think it's important to him.
Speaker 4: Yes, Tom, what if you.
Speaker 5: Had like a girlfriend in her twenties and she's like,
Speaker 5: i'd really love to see the all time.
Speaker 4: Yes it would.
Speaker 3: Yes, First of all, I wouldn't have a twenty four
Speaker 3: year old girlfriend, but if I did and she really meant.
Speaker 5: A lot to her, that you get the extra fifteen wins.
Speaker 3: Yes, Hey, Billy, could you become the all time victory leader?
Speaker 5: Find that very exciting? If you could just be the
Speaker 5: all time I could tell everybody that I'm dating the
Speaker 5: all time winning this career.
Speaker 2: Yes, I could tell all my friends.
Speaker 4: Uh, well, now that you put it that way, yes, yes, Paul.
Speaker 7: I don't think this wouldn't bother me, and I don't
Speaker 7: think it bothers Bill Belichick because he's got the real
Speaker 7: important title, most Super Bowl rings, and that which stamps
Speaker 7: him as the greatest coach of all time. Don Shula
Speaker 7: doesn't have that, And so the number of wins, it's
Speaker 7: almost like like Tom Brady. If let's say Tom Brady
Speaker 7: was second all time in passing yards and passing touchdowns hypothetically,
Speaker 7: but he has seven Super Bowl rings.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 7: That's the scoreboard. Bill Belie's already got the scoreboard. This
Speaker 7: is like tier two of the coaching scoreboard.
Speaker 2: To me. Yeah, I don't I.
Speaker 3: Don't know if it's important, but he's working on inside
Speaker 3: the NFL, and it's on the CW.
Speaker 6: That's equal to at least fourteen wins.
Speaker 4: Yes, a show on the CW is inside the NFL.
Speaker 3: Skewing younger my putting Belichick on there because apparently he
Speaker 3: you know, two.
Speaker 7: Thousand and four younger though it's between one Tree Hill
Speaker 7: episode replace.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to wait, but hey, you know Bill,
Speaker 3: Bill can get that young female audience. You know, apparently
Speaker 3: they're going to tune into inside the NFL on the CW.
Speaker 4: I don't think he coaches. Again, I don't, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 5: They just found that very music. What the whole You
Speaker 5: could get the women's young crowd in watching inside the
Speaker 5: NFL because of who's dating. Okay, that would be very fascinating,
Speaker 5: just like Taylor Swift was able to bring all these
Speaker 5: young girls into being interested in the NFL.
Speaker 4: Did I call on you and you weren't ready to
Speaker 4: be called?
Speaker 5: I don't think that my hand, but I wanted to
Speaker 5: make something out of it.
Speaker 3: Talks on a French fries Uh, speaking of which, Chemo
Speaker 3: in Virginia beach Hi, Chemo?
Speaker 4: What's on your mind today?
Speaker 8: Oh Danny, thanks for taking the call. Look, Paul is
Speaker 8: our man. We know he could do it, and I
Speaker 8: understand big picture. You know, he could have went the distance.
Speaker 8: But it leads me to a Friday Fritzy dynamite. Damn, Jenny,
Speaker 8: I could have tons if I want.
Speaker 4: Gosh, thank you, Kimo went on Napoleon Dynamite.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 3: I thought he was talking about you, PAULI he's talking
Speaker 3: about Paul Schiens going the distance.
Speaker 4: I'll give you a full show. I think you can go.
Speaker 3: The distance as well. Yeah, you're not going to get
Speaker 3: pulled like halfway through this hour. But Paul Skeen's seven
Speaker 3: no hit innings and the baseball world was I guess
Speaker 3: split here do you keep him in go for a
Speaker 3: no hitter? He'll join us in an hour from now.
Speaker 3: I had no problem them taking ount and didn't really
Speaker 3: care about the no hitter. If he got it, great,
Speaker 3: But I got to look at him and say, this
Speaker 3: is now short term the right decision. Long term, it's
Speaker 3: the right decision. He's undefeated, but I don't I didn't
Speaker 3: get caught up in it. Here is his manager, Derek Shelton,
Speaker 3: the Pirates manager, on why he pulled Paul Schemes yesterday.
Speaker 4: He was tired.
Speaker 9: It really didn't have anything to do with the pitch count.
Speaker 9: Everybody makes it about pitch counts. It was about where
Speaker 9: he was at. It was about trusting your eyes, trusting him.
Speaker 9: When I went and talked to him after that, I
Speaker 9: mean he was tired. They did a good job of
Speaker 9: wearing him down, and I mean he gave us everything
Speaker 9: he had.
Speaker 4: So Paul Skeins will join us next hour? Will asking?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I don't know how much of an argument he had.
Speaker 3: He's a rookie. Do you say anything? You end the
Speaker 3: seventh inning and then all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 3: manager says, hey, you're not going back out for the eighth.
Speaker 3: And I understand that logic because if I send you
Speaker 3: out for the eighth and you still have a no hitter,
Speaker 3: no matter how many pitches I have to send you
Speaker 3: out for the ninth, I don't want to be in
Speaker 3: that position.
Speaker 4: Yes, Tom, other than.
Speaker 5: Paul, I know, we went around the room, we were
Speaker 5: all okay with that decision. But wouldn't it change if
Speaker 5: you were actually at that game and you caught up
Speaker 5: in that Atmosphan and you want to be able to
Speaker 5: say that in your lifetime you attended a no hitter.
Speaker 5: I know I selfishly would want.
Speaker 4: To wait, are you talking about the fan?
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you're in the pernership, if you're in the crowd,
Speaker 5: like we could say, you know, standing away from it,
Speaker 5: or if you're watching on TV or you hear about
Speaker 5: it later, Yeah, there was probably a smart move to
Speaker 5: take him out. But if you're actually at the game,
Speaker 5: I would think you'd have a significantly different answer to that.
Speaker 3: I don't think there's anybody there except for Brewer fans
Speaker 3: who they were glad that he left the game. Who
Speaker 3: would say, you know what, I'm glad that he's on
Speaker 3: a pitch down here, and I don't get to see history.
Speaker 4: Of course, you're gonna want to see this. I mean
Speaker 4: you have to.
Speaker 3: You can't be a manager for one game different than
Speaker 3: you will be for all the other games. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: want to see history. I don't think I got to
Speaker 3: see a couple of no hitters in person. Ken Holtzman
Speaker 3: of the Cubs no hit the Reds, and I didn't go,
Speaker 3: you know what, they should take him out right now.
Speaker 3: He's on a pitch count. He he's going to no
Speaker 3: hit the Reds, and I was going to see that.
Speaker 3: Even as a Reds fan, I still wanted to see
Speaker 3: the no hitter. I had no problem with that. Friday,
Speaker 3: July twenty sixth, the Olympic Games return live from Paris
Speaker 3: on NBC and Peacock. Also, they're legends in the paint,
Speaker 3: in the pocket and they're showing their skills on the green.

Speaker 3: I want to hang out with? Who would I want
Speaker 3: to play golf with?
Speaker 2: Uh? Let's see, I got it.
Speaker 4: You have the threesome.
Speaker 7: This would be the one seed if it was up
Speaker 7: for auctions. Gravis Kelsey, Jason Kelce and the wrestler of
Speaker 7: the mizz Okay, all right, that's a good time after
Speaker 7: the round.
Speaker 3: How about Trevor Lawrence, John Elway and Josh Allen.
Speaker 5: I don't even care what the third person.
Speaker 3: Charles Barkley, DeMarcus Ware and Larry the cable guy.
Speaker 2: Let's see anybody else on here.
Speaker 4: That's tricky about the three quarterbacks. What are you going
Speaker 4: to talk about? I just interview them.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but like those dudes, like if you're playing around
Speaker 6: with them and uh, they're like talking about Like these
Speaker 6: two dudes just want to talk to John Elway to
Speaker 6: pick his brain, and you're gonna be like, hey, so, uh.
Speaker 4: Hey, what's it like to throw a touch weather today?
Speaker 8: Hey?
Speaker 3: What's it like when you put your hands up under
Speaker 3: a center?
Speaker 2: Let's see what else do we have?
Speaker 4: Davante Adams, Jerry Rice.
Speaker 3: And Larry Fitzgerald spicy, uh, interesting grouping here, Blake Griffin,
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield, and Vince Carter.
Speaker 2: Let me see anybody else here?
Speaker 8: Mmm?
Speaker 5: Oh Deep, I got one for you, okay, Del Curry,
Speaker 5: Seth Curry, Ray Allen.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'd probably fit in with that group.
Speaker 4: You'd be giving golf tips, shooting tips. Yeah, no, not
Speaker 4: golf tips. I'd be given shooting tips.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: Ray, I brought a basketball out here. Show Steph howld
Speaker 3: the ball kind of rests on the palm of your hand.
Speaker 4: That's Steph. Let me see how you hold the ball.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now, we did have a caller last hour said, that's
Speaker 3: one of the big blunders that we've had in the
Speaker 3: history of the show that I am correcting Ray Allen
Speaker 3: on his how he holds a basketball.
Speaker 4: Is that a blunder?
Speaker 6: Certainly a misstep, But I was being honest with him.
Speaker 4: That's what you're doubling down on it.
Speaker 3: Okay, But imagine how great ray Allen could have been
Speaker 3: if he had not had the ball resting on the kids.
Speaker 3: Don't have the ball on the palmier him. Don't be
Speaker 3: like ray Allen, be like me when it comes to shooting.
Speaker 3: You want it on your fingertips, not on the palm
Speaker 3: of your hand. Oh my god, did he give me
Speaker 3: a look that I don't think. I think he hated
Speaker 3: me more that day than he hated the Celtics who
Speaker 3: turned their back on him. Yeah, Paulie, I just looked
Speaker 3: at the video.
Speaker 7: The look on Ray Allen's face, the word is incredulous,
Speaker 7: where his mouth is open and he's watching. He's a
Speaker 7: very polite gentleman. Yes, And I think he thinks for
Speaker 7: about the first ten seconds that you're joking with him,
Speaker 7: I know, and then he realizes that you're being dead
Speaker 7: serious and his face just goes to this blank, incredulous.
Speaker 2: Look.
Speaker 3: I know it's great, but that's not one of the
Speaker 3: biggest blunders. We've had quite a few blunders on this show.
Speaker 3: Do we have one that's the biggest blunder we've ever
Speaker 3: accomplished on this program.
Speaker 6: We're gonna have to figure out what we mean by blunder.
Speaker 2: Some turn into home runs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I just look at it as content.
Speaker 3: I don't look at it as oh my god, it's
Speaker 3: going to set us back. Speaking of which, yes, time.
Speaker 5: Like mistake or embarrassing moment because the mcleve and glasses
Speaker 5: with the basketball.
Speaker 4: Thing, Oh that was But that's content.
Speaker 5: Right, It's just a finding what a blunder Like see
Speaker 5: was saying, what exactly is a blunder?
Speaker 3: Yeah, McLevin broke his glasses while spinning a basketball trying
Speaker 3: to show off, and when he fell off his chair.
Speaker 3: I mean those were blunders. Yes, those were blunders. That
Speaker 3: was content though, for sure, Yes, poem.
Speaker 7: Our blunders usually turned into great content. When we had
Speaker 7: Dak Prescott in studio the first time we're outside throwing
Speaker 7: the ball and he you said goodbye to him. You
Speaker 7: turn he goes to shake your hand and you just
Speaker 7: missed it. You didn't see it, and he was in
Speaker 7: no man slant. He shook his own hand on National TV.
Speaker 7: Yeah it was a really good content.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's all.
Speaker 4: It is also a blunder, Yeah, yeah, good content.
Speaker 2: It was a lead on sports Henter the next day.
Speaker 7: I'm not shaking Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3: Oh it was, oh god, And I'm sure this happened
Speaker 3: to me when I was doing Sports Center. Like I
Speaker 3: rail against it now because you're like, are you really
Speaker 3: covering sports or you're just It's like when somebody says, boy,
Speaker 3: this is the best music. We're going to play all
Speaker 3: these you know, top hits, and then you miss out
Speaker 3: on all the other music that is probably better than that,
Speaker 3: but you're just playing the hits. And I'm sure we
Speaker 3: did that when I was there. You know, Duke Basketball,
Speaker 3: the Yankees, Red Sox, Tim Tebow, all of that stuff
Speaker 3: where you're going, yeah, let's play the hits. And that's
Speaker 3: what they do now, which gets to thankfully, we don't
Speaker 3: have to do that where they give you a rundown
Speaker 3: when you come in when you're doing a radio show
Speaker 3: or a TV show. Night here are the topics you're discussing.
Speaker 3: We're going to lead the show with Dak Prescott in
Speaker 3: a boot. His foot is in a boot in cabo.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Yes, Tom, that's at ridiculous. Thank you, You're welcome.
Speaker 3: Come on, you gotta be on your toes toain.
Speaker 5: I didn't raise my head. I didn't know what I
Speaker 5: say there. I could have just sat quietly. That's not good.

Speaker 10: us when he came on our show.
Speaker 3: Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 11: What are you doing interrupting our promo? Yeah, you wasn't
Speaker 11: talking about you. You took those clips totally of context.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you

Speaker 3: And we welcome shut ins, those recovering from surgeries, those
Speaker 3: who just don't have enough energy to get up and
Speaker 3: change the channel, or maybe house arrest. So we have
Speaker 3: two great guests today. Paul Schemes was easy to book.
Speaker 3: You know, threw a no hitter for seven innings. This
Speaker 3: guy was tough. Adam Lefgo NBA on TNT inside the
Speaker 3: NBA host and a co host of the Big Podcast
Speaker 3: with Shack.
Speaker 4: But we got him.
Speaker 3: We somehow got Adam leftgo. Thank you for taking time
Speaker 3: out from your busy schedule.
Speaker 11: Don't call me the Paul Skien of broadcast Television. Dan Patrick,
Speaker 11: I come in with a flurry, and then suddenly, wait,
Speaker 11: why isn't he out there anymore?
Speaker 4: Yes, what was that?
Speaker 11: I was in a sports book in Vegas at like
Speaker 11: twelve thirty I think it was, and everyone in there
Speaker 11: is just looking at the monitor.
Speaker 5: Going, wait, there, he's got a no hitter.
Speaker 11: And for me, I love when an old veteran manager goes,
Speaker 11: I don't care about the numbers. I could see it
Speaker 11: with my eyes and and you go. You know, I
Speaker 11: guess him being in the game for this long should
Speaker 11: mean something. But man, that sounds dumb in twenty twenty four. Okay,
Speaker 11: but a big round of applause for Fritzy. Congrats Fritzy. Thanks,
Speaker 11: but proud of you. Buddy, nailed it.
Speaker 4: Wait, nobody else is why am I the only one
Speaker 4: of planning?
Speaker 5: They're weak. It's a weak group.
Speaker 4: I'm still the only one of Okay, we got the
Speaker 4: elusive Adam Lefto.
Speaker 3: Yeah we did. We got him. Okay, if it was
Speaker 3: a perfect game after seven innings.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, no, Well I wouldn't have pulled him anyway.
Speaker 11: So for me, he could have one hit and I'd
Speaker 11: keep him in. I want to watch Paul Schemes.
Speaker 4: Okay, So selfishly.
Speaker 3: But if you're the manager of the pirates, what you've said, Hey,
Speaker 3: I just want to watch Paul's schemes.
Speaker 4: I don't care how many pitches go out there, Paul.
Speaker 11: I mean, what do you think you've been covering.
Speaker 3: I had no problem with them taking him out right.
Speaker 3: Let's say he's given up one hit, one hit? Are
Speaker 3: you going to leave him in there in the entwer
Speaker 3: is no?
Speaker 11: Was it a zero zero game or a one zero game?
Speaker 3: I think it was one nothing, but I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it matters.
Speaker 11: Look, I was sitting there, going it's a random game
Speaker 11: in the middle of July. And that's how you know
Speaker 11: where we are in the schedule. We're getting ready for
Speaker 11: NBA Summer League. I'm over here betting every w NBA
Speaker 11: basketball game that I can. I know I've watched more
Speaker 11: WNBA basketball than ninety nine percent of your listening audience
Speaker 11: and arguing about whether or not a rookie pitcher should
Speaker 11: still be in there after seven That is July sports.
Speaker 4: Yes it is.
Speaker 3: I love, Yes, that's but also we've gotten to the
Speaker 3: point where I don't know if we've graduated to this point,
Speaker 3: but maybe we're looking for topics Caitlin Clark or Angel
Speaker 3: Reese Rookie of the Year, and that you have men
Speaker 3: who are arguing this and talking about, well, who's got
Speaker 3: the better record?
Speaker 4: What about head done manufactured rebounds?
Speaker 11: Dan the pea Like I heard I heard two people
Speaker 11: arguing about PR with Caitlyn Clark, and I was like, Oh,
Speaker 11: we have reached it.
Speaker 4: Fully Wait wait which pr?
Speaker 11: PR like that metric that we use to judge how
Speaker 11: players are overall. Like we're getting to that granular of
Speaker 11: an argument right now between like we're talking about plus
Speaker 11: minus is an on offs with Angel and Kaitlyn Clark.
Speaker 11: And normally you're like, where, who would even care? But
Speaker 11: it's it is so fascinating. I actually thought Angel Reese's
Speaker 11: double double streak was going to end last night. I
Speaker 11: did so. She had five rebounds heading into the fourth
Speaker 11: quarter and I was like, oh, no, it's going to
Speaker 11: come crashing down. And then she had six in the fourth,
Speaker 11: which was insane. I'm very invested in this, and I
Speaker 11: think that we have a dead even race right now
Speaker 11: in Rookie of the Year. I do not think that
Speaker 11: there is a leader right now.
Speaker 4: Oh this is this is silly, This is silly.
Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark goes out with a target on her back
Speaker 3: every single time down the floor.
Speaker 4: Angel Reese is just she works the glass.
Speaker 3: That that's it she Okay, if she's averaging fourteen and
Speaker 3: nine and nine double dumbers, okay, it's the it's the
Speaker 3: convenience of a double double. Like the triple double for
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook Junior the third it became easy for voters
Speaker 3: to go, he's averaging a triple double. Well what if
Speaker 3: he only everaged nine assist Well, not averaging a triple double.
Speaker 11: It's convenient not talking to one of your normal guests.
Speaker 11: I'm telling you you're talking to the most watched WNBA
Speaker 11: analyst on TV that doesn't get asked about it. I
Speaker 11: have made a lot of money on both of these players, Okay.
Speaker 11: I literally invented a parlay called the left goo parlay.
Speaker 11: I mean ten Angel Reese rebounds and six. Caitlin Clark
Speaker 11: assists I was getting it at plus money and now
Speaker 11: it's minus two ninety. You are talking to a subject expert.
Speaker 11: Here is the issue in your argument. Let's not even
Speaker 11: talk about stats. Caitlin Clark is the Indiana Fever. I
Speaker 11: agree with you right now. She has the highest usage.
Speaker 11: She has the ball all the time. They go as
Speaker 11: she goes. Completely understand. But this Chicago Sky team, the
Speaker 11: identity of Angel Reese and Teresa Witherspoon, their coach, is
Speaker 11: shocking teams across the league. They went into Seattle and
Speaker 11: they pushed a team around that had been dominating teams.
Speaker 11: They are built around Kennedy Carter, the woman that pushed
Speaker 11: Caitlin Clark and everyone got upset. She's been kicked off
Speaker 11: multiple teams and she is completely reborn. The Chicago Sky
Speaker 11: are the bad girls of the WNBA. They take what
Speaker 11: they want and they punch you in the face. And
Speaker 11: these other teams have no idea what's coming. I'm telling you.
Speaker 11: They stand there at the tip and they shake each
Speaker 11: other's hands, and then five minutes later they have six
Speaker 11: seven Camilla Cardoso just bodying them, and then Angel rees
Speaker 11: jumping in their face and going, you can't guard me.
Speaker 11: There is no team in the w that is like
Speaker 11: this team, and so her identity has completely woven in.
Speaker 11: When she's not on the court, they take a huge
Speaker 11: step back. I understand that you're making.
Speaker 3: Imagine if Caitlyn Clark is not on the floor, that
Speaker 3: come on, this is silly.
Speaker 11: So but you're saying that because Caitlin Clark is so
Speaker 11: important to her team that she's the rookie of the Year.
Speaker 11: And what I'm saying is is that it's very similar.
Speaker 11: How important which is and I still think we have
Speaker 11: room to go. I would like to say, how these
Speaker 11: two perform against the top three teams, the Aces, the Liberty,
Speaker 11: and the Lynx, is how I judge them, because dude,
Speaker 11: there's twelve teams in this league, and like three or
Speaker 11: four of them you can just destroy. Atlanta is a joke,
Speaker 11: like there's a few other teams that are just Dallas
Speaker 11: as a joke, but the real when you're going against
Speaker 11: John Quell Jones and Sabrina I and Escu and Brianna Stewart,
Speaker 11: you're going up against Asia Wilson and Jackie Young and
Speaker 11: Kelsey Plumb, whoever comes down the stretch. I'm going to
Speaker 11: vote just like, oh, I don't have a vote. I
Speaker 11: wish I had a vote, but like I voted for
Speaker 11: SGA because the SGA's team had a better record at
Speaker 11: the end of the year, and so I want to
Speaker 11: see who gets that eighth playoff spot.
Speaker 4: Okay, did you do this with Victor Wemba Yama.
Speaker 11: Did you I vote Victor women have a defensive player
Speaker 11: of the Year.
Speaker 3: Well no, but did you Did you judge him in
Speaker 3: accordance to how he did against Joe Ellenbiid, Jannis and
Speaker 3: the Joker And the answer is no, you didn't. But
Speaker 3: you're doing that right now with these two plays. We're
Speaker 3: creating an argument.
Speaker 11: We didn't have any We didn't have an even race
Speaker 11: in the NBA. A chet was never a realistic rookie
Speaker 11: the year.
Speaker 3: I know, but you didn't do this. You didn't factor
Speaker 3: in the Spurs record. People are factoring in the better
Speaker 3: record between Caitlin Clark and Angel reascause.
Speaker 4: We don't do the lease.
Speaker 11: This is everyone loves to say.
Speaker 3: This is Mark Gasol versus Derek Rose.
Speaker 11: Let's say it.
Speaker 3: This is Mark Gasol and Derek Rose. Yes, I said it.
Speaker 11: Have you watched a Chicago Sky game or have you
Speaker 11: just seen the memes online of her like catching like
Speaker 11: three remounths.
Speaker 3: In an Why didn't you watch your mouth here? And
Speaker 3: you called me dude, yes, I watch, yes.
Speaker 11: Okay, I gotta look carried away. As you could tell.
Speaker 11: I get very emotional about this.
Speaker 4: Were you drinking last night.
Speaker 11: No, I was on a flight back from Vacas. Okay,
Speaker 11: I was chucked you bottles of water and I had
Speaker 11: eight packs of v getting gummy bears.
Speaker 4: He is, uh, oh you did gummies?
Speaker 2: Well damn.
Speaker 11: Now it's a flight. It's a flight.
Speaker 3: Adam Lefco NBA on TNT. Is the NBA still gonna
Speaker 3: be on TNT?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 11: I hope? So it's I mean, I'm watching Barkley doing
Speaker 11: interviews from Tahoe. Yeah, you know, and I will say this,
Speaker 11: what what we're gonna say?
Speaker 4: That's dangerous Barkley doing interviews in Tahoe.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Oh, just make sure we're good.
Speaker 2: And we're good.
Speaker 11: Okay, I'm gonna stand here. Okay, wife is going to
Speaker 11: the bathroom. It really hit me. What really hit me
Speaker 11: when I was watching Barkley's recent thing because he's always
Speaker 11: talking about the people of TNT, And that is what
Speaker 11: I keep thinking about now, is like the hundreds of
Speaker 11: people that you know, everyone at home is like, oh,
Speaker 11: this is gonna be so inconvenient, Like it's so hard
Speaker 11: to switch from one streamer to another streamer. You know,
Speaker 11: what does this mean for League pass? And I'm thinking
Speaker 11: about like the fact that we all use photoshop today.
Speaker 11: And there's a guy at TNT named Alex who's been
Speaker 11: there for like decades, and he's the guy that invented
Speaker 11: putting Charles Barkley's head on something else. Like, think about
Speaker 11: how ahead of its time that was. And now that
Speaker 11: guy who like is a friend of all of us,
Speaker 11: I'm like, man, I really hope Alex is okay. And
Speaker 11: so I also think it's gonna be very interesting to
Speaker 11: have one last year with Charles bike Barkley with an
Speaker 11: open mic. If that happens, I had hoped there was
Speaker 11: going to be like a fourth smaller package. I hope
Speaker 11: that they can match. But this sounds way above my
Speaker 11: pay grade in a lot of forms.
Speaker 4: Do you think Charles is retiring?
Speaker 11: Man? For me, want shame on me, phollow me twice,
Speaker 11: shame on you for me three times. I'm an idiot,
Speaker 11: So I don't. I was reading about George Washington.
Speaker 3: Dan, do you not want to answer this? Is that
Speaker 3: what you're doing? You're reading about George Washington.
Speaker 11: Well, because when they knocked off the British Big Upset
Speaker 11: sixteen over one, they all went around and they were
Speaker 11: like who should be president? And George Washington was like
Speaker 11: not me, not interested, and everybody was like, we gotta
Speaker 11: make it, George, he doesn't want it, And I kind
Speaker 11: of think that's what Barkley does. Barkley does like the
Speaker 11: George Washington thing where he's like, too bad, I'm not
Speaker 11: going to be here and everyone's like, we need to
Speaker 11: get him right now. So Charles is kind of like
Speaker 11: the George Washington this sewards broadcast.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's not a comp that I thought I was
Speaker 3: going to get. The team that The country that makes
Speaker 3: you nervous with Team USA is USA.
Speaker 11: They're the only team that's beaten this team because you
Speaker 11: know when like right now, we're like, man, this team
Speaker 11: is so deep. This second unit could beat Canada Like
Speaker 11: that was like other than the first quarter with all
Speaker 11: the turnovers, it didn't even look the same. But then
Speaker 11: you start wondering, man, if we need to throw in
Speaker 11: certain guys for a matchup and they're cold off the bench,
Speaker 11: are they going to be Okay, this team should beat anybody.
Speaker 11: Embiid it was very interesting watching him trying to draw
Speaker 11: fouls and realizing very quickly this is not a format
Speaker 11: for that.
Speaker 4: Adam. He fouled out in like eleven minutes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you only get five fowls in, you know,
Speaker 3: Olympic play nine six.
Speaker 11: Can you just worry? Because like, is Anthony Davis good enough?
Speaker 3: They bit they I would have Cooper Flagg just waiting,
Speaker 3: you know, just put him in the in the locker room,
Speaker 3: just in case I might say to it, Embiid, why
Speaker 3: didn't you do what Kawhi did and why didn't you
Speaker 3: go back home?
Speaker 11: As a six Ers fan. I'm not against that, of
Speaker 11: course you're look rested up. But I'm also hoping that Embiid,
Speaker 11: Like because after I watched the stuff about the redeemed team,
Speaker 11: and you hear the stories of Lebron and Wade watching
Speaker 11: Kobe and they're coming back from the club at four
Speaker 11: am and they're in the elevator and he's going to
Speaker 11: the practice court at four am, and you hear that,
Speaker 11: You're like, oh, that ushered in the next wave of
Speaker 11: great basketball. That's what we hope, Like, we hope that
Speaker 11: Anthony Edwards comes back and truly knows how to lead
Speaker 11: to a championship after this experience, or a Halliburton or
Speaker 11: any of the young players. I'm also noticing, though, man
Speaker 11: love Kaitland Clark, you just you're threw in Cooper flag
Speaker 11: a Kailan Clark Cooper flag twenty twenty four presidential ticket
Speaker 11: doesn't have a chance.
Speaker 3: His last name is flag. I mean, come on, red,
Speaker 3: very white and Duke blue.
Speaker 11: Have we come up with a name yet for the
Speaker 11: tanking for Cooper?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah it was what did they say, Seaton?
Speaker 11: So like poop poop for like poop for Cooper?
Speaker 4: Yep for Coop. Yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 3: I'll leave you with this. Jalen Brown is not on
Speaker 3: the Olympic team because.
Speaker 11: I really the Nike stuff is interesting. I just want
Speaker 11: to paint this picture. This is the highest paid player
Speaker 11: in the NBA that won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP,
Speaker 11: the World Finals MVP. Even when the game was over,
Speaker 11: they put a camera in Jason Tatum's face, who came
Speaker 11: out with three different slogans. They're rarely showing Jalen Brown
Speaker 11: in the crowd. They get introduced at Fenway and Jalen
Speaker 11: Brown walks out with Jason Tatum like this really should
Speaker 11: be the summer of Jalen Brown and we're not giving
Speaker 11: it to him. This is a person that when he
Speaker 11: signed a contract, unlike just giving money away is building
Speaker 11: bridge programs in the city of Boston to help underserved youth.
Speaker 11: He was on the front lines when they were in
Speaker 11: the bubble. Who was the most outspoken person trying to
Speaker 11: fight for civil rights? It was this guy, Jalen Brown.
Speaker 11: When the Big Three in ice Cube was like, I'm
Speaker 11: not getting enough attention, Jalen Brown's like, I will be
Speaker 11: the only NBA player to come and support you. And
Speaker 11: then we're like, man, we lost a defensive star small forward,
Speaker 11: that's his position, and I for Steven A. Smith to
Speaker 11: go out there and just keep questioning this man's character
Speaker 11: when he is the least blemish guy in the entire
Speaker 11: NBA who's done everything perfect and finally reaches the summit
Speaker 11: and we're still like, man, can't believe he's being selfish
Speaker 11: and won't let Derek White just make it to the
Speaker 11: team you take. Some would say the fourth best player
Speaker 11: on his team, on his own team. It's just crazy.
Speaker 11: This is the same guy that he was drafted in
Speaker 11: twenty sixteen. People were like he might be too smart
Speaker 11: for the NBA. Du went to cal Berkeley, and so
Speaker 11: this guy is sitting there and Stephen as like, and
Speaker 11: this is the reason you're not marketable? Where what are
Speaker 11: we in this world? Jalen Brown has every right right
Speaker 11: now to be like, you guys are crazy. At the
Speaker 11: same point, he's making sixty million dollars a year and
Speaker 11: as a title and he's dating like the now, I'm
Speaker 11: not going to say that, but what the hell are
Speaker 11: we doing?
Speaker 2: This is how about?
Speaker 3: I was kind of listening to you, but I was
Speaker 3: also thinking of mottos for teams with Cooper.
Speaker 4: Flag right, gag for flag.
Speaker 11: Love it, sag for flag. Pauli is chat gpt this
Speaker 11: the other day and they were coming home some good ones.
Speaker 4: Paulie says, lollygag for flag.
Speaker 11: See, that's just not a phrase we use anymore.
Speaker 4: Okay, gag for flag.
Speaker 11: That's a little bit too much. I didn't this kind
Speaker 11: of sexual.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just.
Speaker 11: Telling you the truth.
Speaker 4: Time to wrap it up here.
Speaker 2: Time.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's okay. Hold on, So fail for flag, drag
Speaker 11: for flag, lag for flag, sag for flag bag the flag.
Speaker 11: I also like flatline for flag, crash for Cooper, flop
Speaker 11: for flag, pay for Cooper. And I didn't realize that
Speaker 11: Cooper had a twin brother. So you have a built
Speaker 11: in the NASA Santa to coupo element, which is really cool.
Speaker 11: Do you have to take his twin brother? This is
Speaker 11: a Rook Lopez, Blake or Blake.
Speaker 4: What of the Lopez, Robin, Robin and Robin.
Speaker 11: We knew who he was because his name was Robin.
Speaker 11: It's built into the relationship.
Speaker 3: It's it's been fun to talk to you and thank
Speaker 3: you once again. Very difficult to book Adam Lefko today.
Speaker 3: What's your what's.
Speaker 11: The question you're most excited to ask Paul?
Speaker 4: I'm not going to tell you, okay, but don't put
Speaker 4: it on the pole.
Speaker 11: Put on the pole? Does Dan actually have questions for
Speaker 11: Paul's He's just going to make it up on the
Speaker 11: fly and wing it.
Speaker 4: I make it up on the fly and I wing it.

Speaker 3: Well, come back after this, we'll hear from Dion Sanders,
Speaker 3: and we're going to look at where we were last
Speaker 3: year in sports and everything that unfolded and all these
Speaker 3: things that you couldn't have scripted.
Speaker 4: So I have that for you coming out.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio w APP.
Speaker 4: It's my favorite part.
Speaker 3: Interesting games this weekend the EuroCup Final a lot on
Speaker 3: the line, not only for Spain and England, but also
Speaker 3: for me trying to escape the Brownie James bet. If
Speaker 3: England pulls off the upset, then no more puns for me.
Speaker 3: It's the are.
Speaker 4: They all going to be pecan? Where do we stand
Speaker 4: on that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: I have pumpkin.
Speaker 6: Oh you have pumpkin. Yeah, you guys have pecan. Oh,
Speaker 6: we have pecan, which I think are the first pilots
Speaker 6: that include nuts.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to do that. I thought that could
Speaker 3: you know, poke my eye out or something. The Yankees
Speaker 3: and the Orioles how about that? Could something happen? The
Speaker 3: Oriols have been great fifty seven and thirty six. You
Speaker 3: know what, the Yankees have been terrible. They're still they
Speaker 3: have fifty six wins so far. How about Big Three basketball?
Speaker 4: It's back?
Speaker 3: Okay, let me see Joe Johnson is so, Joe is playing,
Speaker 3: Michael Beasley is playing.
Speaker 6: Joseph Joe Johnson favorite nickname, Leandro Barbosa is playing.
Speaker 11: Warriors legend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, former sixth Man of the Year. The Scottish Open,
Speaker 3: which I will be watching Rory. I think Roy is
Speaker 3: the prohibitive favorite there, but I'm going to take Ludwig
Speaker 3: Oberg So Rory trying to win and then get ready
Speaker 3: for the British Open.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 3: How about the fever at the Links on Sunday, So
Speaker 3: Caitlyn Clark takes on the number one seed Minnesota Lynx.
Speaker 4: That's some of the action coming up this weekend.
Speaker 3: To choose from right there, yes, a lot of different
Speaker 3: things to choose from. I'm going to go euro Fire,
Speaker 3: Scottish Open, Caitlyn Clark versus the Lynx.
Speaker 4: That's your trifecta.
Speaker 3: Yes, Sliding into the weekend brought to you by our
Speaker 3: partners at King Sawan. They want you to get together
Speaker 3: with friends and family, enjoy the weekend, making every Sunday
Speaker 3: a slider Sunday. We were looking back. So let's say
Speaker 3: we were going on this date last year, and all
Speaker 3: the things that happened, like Dion Sanders happened, was that became.
Speaker 3: That was college football, Caitlin Clark and the growth of
Speaker 3: women's basketball.
Speaker 4: She was must see TV.
Speaker 3: Nick Saban retires, John Calipari leaves Kentucky College football playoffs
Speaker 3: go to twelve. Travis Kelcey Taylor Swift. Some thought it
Speaker 3: was a pr move, others realized it was love.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: I'm keeping receipts on that one. They're going to get engaged,
Speaker 3: I think. So here's the key. You know what Travis
Speaker 3: Kelcey is doing that the other guys didn't do. They
Speaker 3: didn't embrace her celebrity, who she is, going with her,
Speaker 3: going on stage, being around her, don't be afraid to
Speaker 3: go out in public. Travis Kelcey did that. Instead of going,
Speaker 3: you know, let's get away from the paparazzi, let's not
Speaker 3: go to restaurants. Travis is on stage with her now
Speaker 3: during performances. That's the difference. He is embracing what she
Speaker 3: does instead of asking her to downplay being a celebrity.
Speaker 3: Let's try to be normal. You're never going to be normal.
Speaker 3: Travis Kelce gets them. That's why I think they're going
Speaker 3: to get engaged, get married, and then I think some
Speaker 3: pies are going to some people on the other side
Speaker 3: because I said they're going to get engaged, didn't I, Todd,
Speaker 3: I think I believe I think you were going to
Speaker 3: get a wedding cake. I was going to smash you
Speaker 3: with a wedding cake.
Speaker 5: I was pretty certain this was not going to be
Speaker 5: something that was going to last.
Speaker 4: You don't believe in love.
Speaker 5: I believe in love. I just didn't see those two
Speaker 5: like walking down the aisle level. Maybe they'd be partners.
Speaker 3: And you didn't give me a cutoff date either, so
Speaker 3: this can go to it. Yeah, yeah, this could go
Speaker 3: on for a while, But yeah, I think they're going
Speaker 3: to get engaged because they love love seton. Would you
Speaker 3: update the pole result? I don't even know what the
Speaker 3: poll question was for hour or two. How dairy, it's
Speaker 3: just a blur. How dairy. By way, Paul skeans the
Speaker 3: Pirates rookie will join us coming up in about a
Speaker 3: half hour.
Speaker 6: Well hour one we had up there. If you were
Speaker 6: the Pirates manager and Paul Skeens was throwing a no hitter,
Speaker 6: you would let him pitch. Stick to the plan right now,
Speaker 6: sixty six percent of the audience would let him pitch.
Speaker 6: I wonder if that would change if it was a
Speaker 6: perfect game or not.
Speaker 2: Maybe not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a surprising number that would have kept him in,
Speaker 3: but we're saying you're the manager. That's the difference. As
Speaker 3: a fan, I wanted to see him pitch. The Brewers
Speaker 3: didn't want to see him pitch. Two hours in the books,
Speaker 3: one more to go. I hope you'll stay with us.
