Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two on this Tuesday, Dan and The
Speaker 1: dan 's Dan Patrick Show come on in stay a while.
Speaker 1: We'll review some of the big movies this summer. Coming
Speaker 1: up with one of the great movie critics in America
Speaker 1: with the Chicago Suntimes Richard Roper, will join us. Poll
Speaker 1: question from Our one Seaton the results Our one Dan,
Speaker 1: we had who plays more games for the Nets this season?
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving Ben Simmons. It's very close. Have Kyrie okay, right, Okay.
Speaker 1: I think Ben's gonna play. He'll be healthy, at least physically.
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's doing mentally, and I don't
Speaker 1: know what role Kyrie kde help him with that. Steve
Speaker 1: Nash's role with that is is something that's beyond their
Speaker 1: means to be able to help him with that. But
Speaker 1: I think if if, and that's the it's capital letters.
Speaker 1: If everybody is involved in this, Kyrie's all in, Kadi's
Speaker 1: all in, You got Seth Curry is on the team,
Speaker 1: then you put in Ben Simmons. If everybody is on
Speaker 1: the same page, same goal, same motivation, then they look
Speaker 1: like they're going to be the team to beat, certainly
Speaker 1: in the East, just based off talent, but we know
Speaker 1: that you can have a lot of talent doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you're going to win the championship because a lot of
Speaker 1: things happen along the way, certainly when Kyrie is involved.
Speaker 1: That Kyrie decided he was going to stay. And that's
Speaker 1: why I don't understand the quote, because he says normal
Speaker 1: people keep the world going, but those who dare to
Speaker 1: be different lead us into tomorrow. I made my decision
Speaker 1: to opt in see you win the Fall. So he
Speaker 1: didn't dare to be different, he stayed. Dare to be
Speaker 1: different would have been, Hey, I'm leaving, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: play for the Lakers. I'm gonna play for six million dollars.
Speaker 1: I dare to be different. So his quote doesn't match
Speaker 1: up with his actions. Normal people the world going, but
Speaker 1: those who dare to be different lead us into tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I made my decision to opt in see you in
Speaker 1: the Fall. Yes, barv, that sounds like a Walt Disney quote. Really, like, oh,
Speaker 1: what did he say? I don't even know what he said.
Speaker 1: He just said a bunch of words, and I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, that sounds inspirational Kyrie. So you think
Speaker 1: Walt Disney would be your inspirational author. Okay for Kyrie? Okay,
Speaker 1: like a fantasy world there. Okay, Now, normal people keep
Speaker 1: the world going. But those who dare to be differently, well,
Speaker 1: Walt Disney did do something different. Hire didn't do anything different.
Speaker 1: Now during the year, he did something different when he
Speaker 1: decided he wasn't get vaccinated and decided to forego whatever.
Speaker 1: Sixteen seventeen million dollars. Now that's different. That's daring to
Speaker 1: be different, but opting in he didn't dare to be different,
Speaker 1: still get getting paid. And the question is at what
Speaker 1: point do you say this is going to work or
Speaker 1: at what point do you say this isn't going to work?
Speaker 1: And then is Kyrie traded as you get close to
Speaker 1: the All Star Game? Yes, Seaton. I wonder too that
Speaker 1: Kyrie's tried to start over a couple of times and
Speaker 1: it hasn't gone. Well, no, it has not, so maybe
Speaker 1: that's in the back of his mind too. Well, you
Speaker 1: can start over, but this time start over and realize
Speaker 1: that you're not the Alpha. Because he wanted to Cleveland,
Speaker 1: it was his team. Then Lebron came in. They went
Speaker 1: a title and then he didn't want to be second fiddle.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to be you know, Robin to Batman,
Speaker 1: Here goes to Boston, this is my team, and then
Speaker 1: realized that he wasn't ready for that either. Then you
Speaker 1: go to the Nets my team. I need some help here, Katie,
Speaker 1: come on in, if you go. If he would have
Speaker 1: gone to the Lakers, it wouldn't have been his team,
Speaker 1: and it might have benefited him greatly as a player,
Speaker 1: having Lebron and Anthony Davis there. The tricky part is
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook would have been there. John Wall going to
Speaker 1: the Clippers. I like it as long as you didn't
Speaker 1: have to give up a lot. You don't have to
Speaker 1: spend a lot. But I need to know where I
Speaker 1: think he's thirty two. I just need to know where
Speaker 1: he is in his basketball mind. Do you understand that
Speaker 1: you're not in Washington and you're not in Houston. You
Speaker 1: don't have to put up big numbers. You're not the leader.
Speaker 1: The goal is to win. I also mentioned this just
Speaker 1: because a person I trust who works in the front
Speaker 1: office said, keep an eye on DeAndre Ayton, because that's
Speaker 1: that's the interesting part here of the role that he
Speaker 1: could play I thought, maybe he's gonna end up with
Speaker 1: the Pistons. Maybe maybe he could end up with the Nets.
Speaker 1: At least I was certainly given a heads up. And
Speaker 1: this person said, keep an eye on the Vegas odds.
Speaker 1: Do you have you seen Vegas odds on DeAndre Ayton's
Speaker 1: next team? And I know we might look at DeAndre
Speaker 1: Ayton going he's not a great player. Well, he's in
Speaker 1: the Hall of Good I mean, he's a twenty ten guy, athletic,
Speaker 1: big guy. You know, he can play on the perimeter
Speaker 1: a little bit here. But I think that would be
Speaker 1: interesting to keep an eye because Vegas usually has better
Speaker 1: heads up than the insiders do. Yeah, Paul, Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is the latest from draft Kings sons of the favorites Pistons, Spurs, Pacers, Hawks,
Speaker 1: and it goes way down so the Nets aren't even
Speaker 1: in there. Nets are eighth in the rank. You okay, odds?
Speaker 1: All right, feels like something's happening there, going to happen there.
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on that. Age seven seven three d

Speaker 1: Radio affiliates nearly four hundred. iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio Ray
Speaker 1: in Toronto joins us Hi Ray, what's on your mind today? Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: have a going man, huge fan again, I got a
Speaker 1: question for you. Yeah. So, in regards to basketball free
Speaker 1: throw shooting, I've always won to hear why the players
Speaker 1: that struggle shoot free throws? Why don't they use the
Speaker 1: backboard for assistance? Can The reason why I say this
Speaker 1: is because I made twelve shots from a free throw
Speaker 1: Alliance UM in a row. But then when I don't
Speaker 1: try to go for the backboards, I make like one
Speaker 1: of five. So to me, it's a lot easier using
Speaker 1: the backboards. Now, I think it's even tougher because I mean,
Speaker 1: you have to have a direct hit. You know, you
Speaker 1: got to hit it in the center if you can
Speaker 1: do that. Plus it's embarrassing. As I've said before, you
Speaker 1: could get Rick Berry, one of the greatest free throw
Speaker 1: shooters of all time, who shot underheaded. And if I
Speaker 1: could promise Ben Simmons, let's say, Ben, you're gonna make
Speaker 1: eighty percent of your free throws, you got to shoot underhand,
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't do it. Shaquille O'Neal shack underhand, you're gonna
Speaker 1: make eighty percent. Probably wouldn't do it. Don't want to
Speaker 1: be They'd rather miss and and shoot it their way
Speaker 1: than make and look embarrassing or uh, you know, people
Speaker 1: would laugh at them because they did the underhand thing.
Speaker 1: It's weird. I know, I'm gonna do it my way,
Speaker 1: all right. Well I could help you here, but no,
Speaker 1: trying to bank it in would be even tougher. Plus,
Speaker 1: if you can hit the backboard, the rectangular square, there
Speaker 1: is that same thing, the rectangular square town we know
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Yes, thank you, But if you hit
Speaker 1: the square, that's also a rectangle. It's a square, a
Speaker 1: rectangle rectangles on the squares that the other way around.
Speaker 1: I don't know how about the square. You hit the square.
Speaker 1: If you can hit that, then you can just you
Speaker 1: can make it straight on. You know, guys will shoot
Speaker 1: bang shots from the side and that helps them, you know,
Speaker 1: a higher percentage. But a lot of guys don't want
Speaker 1: to use the backboard either because it looks like old school. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I'm reading a story that having a few years ago
Speaker 1: that a physicist and like a medical expert looked at
Speaker 1: underhand free throw. I said, it's a more natural motion,
Speaker 1: almost like a college pitcher for softball. Yeah, underhand is
Speaker 1: more natural. It's less torque on the less motion. And
Speaker 1: so they said, shooting an overhand free throw, there's more movements.
Speaker 1: You're going up out and flicking your wrist. Underhand, you're
Speaker 1: just doing more of a rocking motion that is natural
Speaker 1: to your shoulders and the way your arms hang. It
Speaker 1: won't let you make mistakes. Yeah, so they said underhand
Speaker 1: will be way better. Well, this way you have right hand,
Speaker 1: left hand on the side, and all you do is
Speaker 1: come down and then go up and then you keep
Speaker 1: the hands up. That will give you an idea of
Speaker 1: your form and follow through and you're at least going
Speaker 1: to be close to making shots. There are guys get
Speaker 1: up there, they're not even close. And I think that
Speaker 1: that would be interesting a case study if you said,
Speaker 1: do some of these guys who shoot under fifty percent,
Speaker 1: let's just shoot underhand free throws and see what you
Speaker 1: come up with. Let let you know, Rick Berry spend
Speaker 1: time with you and teach you how to do it.
Speaker 1: But I I'm good against a lot of these guys
Speaker 1: would rather miss shooting their way than make with an underhand,
Speaker 1: and a lot of times when you go to the
Speaker 1: free throw line, like when you're a basketball player, you're
Speaker 1: moving like there's action. You don't want to think, you know, golf,
Speaker 1: we always talk about guys who get in their own head.
Speaker 1: Will they just sit there and think like I'm over
Speaker 1: the ball, nobody's guarding me. Then you go, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: like you need movements. Sometimes basketball players it's always movement.
Speaker 1: And then you go to the free throw line, nobody's
Speaker 1: moving and you're just standing there, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they get in their mind and it happens.
Speaker 1: It happens to some of the best players. Yeah, Paulie,
Speaker 1: there are ten players in the NBA last year. There's
Speaker 1: there's worse than this, but ten players who are good players,
Speaker 1: decent players that shot under seventy percent. Guys like Andrew Wiggins,
Speaker 1: Evan Mobley, Russell Westbrook, Rudy Gobert. There's there's some decent
Speaker 1: players who shoot under seventy percent. Yeah, that's inexcusable, certainly
Speaker 1: for somebody who handles the ball. I mentioned DeAndre Ayton's
Speaker 1: next team. We got a hold of DraftKings. The Sons
Speaker 1: are the favorites. Second on the list, The Brooklyn Nets
Speaker 1: don't don't dune not saying but I'm saying, saying, just
Speaker 1: saying something's happening. Yes, done happening. Oh I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: annoying if I well more annoying. If the Nets all
Speaker 1: of a sudden get DeAndre Eton, Yes, could that become
Speaker 1: the Barclayton Center, DeAndre Ayton, Barkleyton, mab not t shirt.
Speaker 1: What if he goes to the next and has like
Speaker 1: it becomes like a star in the nets, thence the
Speaker 1: Barkleyton because the barclay Center and his name is Eton,
Speaker 1: it would share that. You know what a yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you haven't said anything for an hour. I guess not. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squared.
Speaker 1: Fascinating math note based on the whole rectangle square backboard thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: where did you get this? I did not get that
Speaker 1: off the top of my head. There was a few
Speaker 1: math sites. Oh it is okay, So all squares are rectangles,
Speaker 1: but not all rectangles are square. That's what a lot
Speaker 1: of mathematicians, that's how they look at that. We're getting
Speaker 1: a lot of high school age teachers tweeting at now
Speaker 1: being like, guys, this isn't that difficult. It's not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe not to a high school matha. Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: to me that Pythagoran theorem. I'm still trying to figure
Speaker 1: that damn thing out. Yes, I'm gonna gladly stay in
Speaker 1: my lane during this conversation. I barely know what a
Speaker 1: rectangle is. Yeah, so I was correct in saying this
Speaker 1: square is a rectangle. I just didn't know that a
Speaker 1: rectangle wasn't square. Now you know it's not all rectangle
Speaker 1: rectangle plane figure with four straight sides and four right angles,
Speaker 1: especially one with an equal adjacent sides. Uh, in contrast
Speaker 1: to a square. Huh. Okay Bob and ohio, Hi Bob,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Than Dan? How are you good? Bob? Hey?
Speaker 1: I just I'm kind of little old school here. I'm
Speaker 1: kind of in your price range their age wise, and
Speaker 1: just not so much with the contract right now with Kyrie,
Speaker 1: but just everything the last couple of years, just play
Speaker 1: or shut up and go away. It's got to be
Speaker 1: a pain. But with their teammates and uh, everybody just
Speaker 1: tired of hearing about it. He's always got an issue
Speaker 1: with everything. Just you're you're a good player, play or
Speaker 1: just shut up and go away. Well, he has the
Speaker 1: right to say what he wants to say, and you know,
Speaker 1: I want him to play. That's a that's a great point.
Speaker 1: Just play. It's like him. It's not that I want
Speaker 1: him to shut up and go away. I want him
Speaker 1: to play. Let your play speak for yourself. And then
Speaker 1: what happened in the last two games of the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1: Didn't hear anything, it was you saw some things. That's
Speaker 1: all I wanted. You know, Kyrie's just different. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's not like I'm going to analyze this too long.
Speaker 1: I've given up on that. He is who he is.
Speaker 1: He has his beliefs and we live in a society
Speaker 1: that allows us to have those beliefs. You may not
Speaker 1: buy into it, but I don't want to say as
Speaker 1: some you know, people have said, hey, Lebron, shut up
Speaker 1: in dribbles. That's not fair and and this isn't political.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this about basketball. I want him to play.
Speaker 1: But Kyrie, you know, Kyrie's his own worst enemy. And
Speaker 1: I think we're going to look back on this career
Speaker 1: and say, man, that guy was unbelievable. But he was
Speaker 1: unbelievable occasionally, and that's going to be a career lost.
Speaker 1: Maybe something happens, maybe a light goes on. Had the
Speaker 1: light go on where he said, you know, I was
Speaker 1: immature when I was with Lebron. Okay, he did realize
Speaker 1: that this guy could be loved. Like Steph Curry. We
Speaker 1: could be looking at him going, oh, that's unbelievable. There
Speaker 1: are things that he does that there's no other nobody
Speaker 1: else in the game who can do just not in traffic,
Speaker 1: his dribble, his handle and I mean his abilities are
Speaker 1: rarefied air. But I don't know how important that is
Speaker 1: to him. He may say, look, I'm using this as
Speaker 1: a platform to something else. Maybe do I like it? No,
Speaker 1: because I want to see greatness. I want to see
Speaker 1: him play. But if he doesn't care, why do I care? Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 1: Before the age of twenty four, Kyrie Irring had made
Speaker 1: four All Star teams. Steph Curry had made none. Yeah.

Speaker 1: went to see the Elvis movie and then came back
Speaker 1: and he was doing his Elvis impersonation. He was singing,
Speaker 1: he was dancing and now you're the biggest, You're the
Speaker 1: biggest Elvis fan fifty years after he died. I really yeah,
Speaker 1: my kids stopped like stinging and trying to do impresentations
Speaker 1: of him. I'm really annoying my family a lot, and
Speaker 1: us too, and you guys, yeah, seton. I feel like
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong going to see that movie. What Todd
Speaker 1: should be questioning is that he went to go see
Speaker 1: it with his daughter and her boyfriends. I did. It's
Speaker 1: a little tricky. The daughter and the boyfriend sat in
Speaker 1: the front and me and the wife in the back
Speaker 1: of Everybody behaved in Richard Roper does this for a living.
Speaker 1: He reviews films for the Chicago Sun Times, and you
Speaker 1: can check out screen Time with Roe and Roper podcast.
Speaker 1: All summer long, he and Roecon have been celebrating the
Speaker 1: anniversary years of certain movies and TV shows. Latest one
Speaker 1: is about the summer of nineteen eighty two, one of
Speaker 1: the greatest movie summers of all time. Good to have
Speaker 1: him back. What is the greatest aside from nineteen thirty nine?
Speaker 1: Greatest year modern day? Greatest year from movies is what
Speaker 1: well ninety four? It was a great year with the
Speaker 1: pulp fiction and Forrest compan a lot of great films
Speaker 1: with Dan the summer, just the summer of nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 1: just in the summer et Poltergeist, The Thing, Fast Times
Speaker 1: at Ridgemont High, Rocky three, Blade Runner, an officer, and
Speaker 1: a gentleman, all within a three month period. In the
Speaker 1: summer of eighty two, I mentioned Tom Cruise is the
Speaker 1: last movie star. You agree, yes, especially when you think
Speaker 1: about the longevity, because you want to talk about going
Speaker 1: back nineteen eighty three was risky business. So he has
Speaker 1: been a top level global superstar for forty years. I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody's ever going to do that again. It's
Speaker 1: sort of like when we look at certain players in
Speaker 1: baseball and the records they have that are never going
Speaker 1: to be matched again, you know. So if somebody right
Speaker 1: now is a big star, Ryan Gosling or Scarlett Johansson,
Speaker 1: they'd have to do it for thirty more years at
Speaker 1: that level. And he's got that combination of he's I
Speaker 1: think he's an underrated actor, you know, and you look
Speaker 1: at things like Magnolia and Born on the fourth of July.
Speaker 1: You know, Oscar nominated performances, but he also knows how
Speaker 1: to sell the movies. He knows how to do it internationally,
Speaker 1: and he knows how to carry a movie, you know,
Speaker 1: so he probably is really the last major movie star.
Speaker 1: It's like Tom Brady or Lebron James to have that
Speaker 1: longevity to play at a high level for that amount
Speaker 1: of time, and he is indefatiguable. I mean his energy
Speaker 1: in selling a movie and I mentioned this yesterday. He's
Speaker 1: single handedly getting people back to the theater, yeah, which
Speaker 1: is amazing. Made billions of dollars. And you know if
Speaker 1: people go see Top Gun Maverick, they go to the
Speaker 1: multip Plex, they go, oh wow, you know this is
Speaker 1: playing there as well. Elvis's plan there, maybe we'll come back.
Speaker 1: So it's just it's like getting people back to the ballpark,
Speaker 1: you know, after COVID. He is a huge attraction. Is
Speaker 1: Maverick a great movie or a good movie? It's a
Speaker 1: good movie. You know, you go back and look at
Speaker 1: the first one. It's absolutely ludicrous. But it was you know,
Speaker 1: the thing about it was everybody got the show off
Speaker 1: their brand new basement theater sound systems in the eighties
Speaker 1: that they'd always played the first ten minutes a Top
Speaker 1: Gun and go look at this, you know, the rattling
Speaker 1: the walls in the basement. What they did the smart
Speaker 1: thing with Top Gun Maverick dan As they just basically
Speaker 1: did attribute to Top Gun. It's the same story, just
Speaker 1: next generation great casting, bringing in Miles Teller to play
Speaker 1: the son of Goose, the Anthony Edwards character, and then
Speaker 1: you know the kind of touching inclusion of Val Kilmer,
Speaker 1: who's you know, battling the same sort of illness that
Speaker 1: his character has in the movie. And Cruz. It is
Speaker 1: amazing because again you believe that this guy really still
Speaker 1: would would be trusted with a billion dollar jet, even
Speaker 1: though he's at the age where he should be a
Speaker 1: rear admiral and retired and smoking a cigar right well. Also,
Speaker 1: and I don't know why did it take so long
Speaker 1: to get the sequel made? And was that a good
Speaker 1: thing that it took this long? Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of cases, if you wait too long,
Speaker 1: the interests has died up. But as we've talked about,
Speaker 1: Cruz has remained a huge movie star. He was adamant
Speaker 1: that this was going to be a theatrical release. There
Speaker 1: were multiple delays with pandemic and injuries on the set
Speaker 1: and all that, and they waited till the right time
Speaker 1: to release it. As well, when just about everybody's ready
Speaker 1: to go back to theaters, to the ballparks, to restaurants.
Speaker 1: So it was just the kind of the perfect storm
Speaker 1: for this to come out. Would you bet there will
Speaker 1: be a Top Gun three? I hope not, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, at some point, you know it's
Speaker 1: gonna be Top Walker, you know, to kind of limps
Speaker 1: into there. We're gonna go, We're gonna go win the war.
Speaker 1: I think and again, and I think, you know, CRUs
Speaker 1: is great about this. Dan with franchises. You look at
Speaker 1: Mission Impossible. That's one of the few movie franchises that
Speaker 1: has actually gotten better with every succeeding film. The first
Speaker 1: two were just okay, John Wood did I think the
Speaker 1: second one. But they've become James Bond movies. They've become
Speaker 1: born movies. You know. It's it's it's got nothing to
Speaker 1: do anymore with the original Mission Impossible TV series that's gone,
Speaker 1: that's in the past. He's just playing a character who
Speaker 1: has the same name as that character. I go back
Speaker 1: to nineteen eighty six, Ferris Bueller, Color Money, Aliens, Latoons,
Speaker 1: stand by Me, Top Gun, Hoosiers, rivers Edge, pretty good
Speaker 1: run there, that's a great run. And you know you
Speaker 1: talk about that that that list of films, the ones
Speaker 1: from eighty two we're talking about. Some of them are
Speaker 1: action films, but a lot of them are those the
Speaker 1: movies that I think you and I love the most,
Speaker 1: which are character driven, story driven, incredible screenplays. And that's
Speaker 1: why those movies resonate forty years later, because it's it's
Speaker 1: not about the time that they're in, it's about the
Speaker 1: characters in the city. People can still relate to Ferris Bueller,
Speaker 1: even though every movie he pulls right now would be
Speaker 1: busted by cell phones. He'd never get away with any
Speaker 1: of that stuff, but it doesn't matter. It's sort of
Speaker 1: like Seinfeld, where it's the situation of the sitcom that
Speaker 1: we can relate to generations later. I wonder how this
Speaker 1: has impacted acting that you know, before you were an actor,
Speaker 1: not you know, something with prosthetics, or you were in
Speaker 1: a Marvel movie or something. Cgi Is it fair to
Speaker 1: look at actors now, can you compare them to a
Speaker 1: previous generation. I mean, it feels like everything is a
Speaker 1: Marvel movie, and I don't know if actors grow up
Speaker 1: to be I want to be in a Marvel movie
Speaker 1: as opposed to you know, these movies that I mentioned
Speaker 1: that our character driven. Oh that's a great point. Dan.
Speaker 1: You look at like the upcoming Thor sequel, Love and Thunder,
Speaker 1: which I keep thinking of like an Australian male stripper group.
Speaker 1: When I hear Thor Love and Thunder, it's like down
Speaker 1: under Vegas. Yeah, yeah, down Under. But you know, the
Speaker 1: co stars of that movie, along with Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman,
Speaker 1: Christian Bale, Russell Crowe Academy Award winner, Academy Award winner,
Speaker 1: Academy Award winner, and not to disparage the Marvel material,
Speaker 1: but you know that deep in their hearts, those three
Speaker 1: could be doing Shakespeare on stage somewhere, you know. So
Speaker 1: do they do it for the paychecks and the popularity?
Speaker 1: I think yeah. And it's a certain style of acting.
Speaker 1: You know, you're with the green screen and you have
Speaker 1: to kind of suspend your own disbelief. But I think
Speaker 1: that's why so many great actors now turn to streaming
Speaker 1: series where they can get showcase roles that are about
Speaker 1: the writing and the character. Talking to Richard Roper, he's
Speaker 1: a movie critic for Chicago's Sun Times. Your review of
Speaker 1: Elvis is what I thought. It was terrific and Fritz
Speaker 1: should not be embarrassed about seeing that. Just just remember
Speaker 1: this one thing in life. Nobody ever says, hey, do
Speaker 1: your Elvis impersonation for me. Ever, nobody has ever said
Speaker 1: that in history. But what I loved first of all
Speaker 1: this is bos lerman he did you know? He did
Speaker 1: great cats by Romeo and Juliet mulan Rouge. You know
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get with him, a lot of razzle dazzle.
Speaker 1: Going back to the theme, you gotta see this in
Speaker 1: the big screen. What I loved about this first of
Speaker 1: all was this Austin Butler who's playing Elvis that they
Speaker 1: didn't cast to Harry Styles or somebody who's super talented
Speaker 1: but super well known. Most people don't know Austin Butler.
Speaker 1: He was great at Tex Watson in Once upon a
Speaker 1: Time in Hollywood, small but pivotal role, but largely an unknown,
Speaker 1: so we could buy into him as Elvis Presley, and
Speaker 1: I think he does a terrific job. That's a great point.
Speaker 1: And we've seen these biopics do well. You had ray
Speaker 1: walk the line of Bohemian Rhapsody. I guess the Elton
Speaker 1: John one didn't work, you know with a critical or
Speaker 1: you know, as far as awards. Yeah, yeah, well because
Speaker 1: again it was sort of like, even though boslumerdn't directed,
Speaker 1: it was a very stylized thing. But one of the
Speaker 1: things I loved about the Elvis movie, Dan, was that
Speaker 1: the various periods of Elvis's career are kind of filmed
Speaker 1: in the style of the time. So there's a more
Speaker 1: of a cepia grainy tone to the fifties stuff. When
Speaker 1: they talk about his movie career, it split screen and
Speaker 1: it's done in that kind of larger, eye popping colors
Speaker 1: of the sixties, and then the comeback special all the
Speaker 1: way through the Vegas stuff, so it has almost even
Speaker 1: though it's wildly over the top, it also has kind
Speaker 1: of a docudrama field to it. It's cool. Did you
Speaker 1: review Hustle? The movie I star in Listen Your boy
Speaker 1: when he puts his mind to it can really do
Speaker 1: some really good stuff. I was a huge fan of
Speaker 1: Uncut Gems and I loved Hustle, And one of the
Speaker 1: things I loved about it, Dannis, you could just see
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler's love for the game and every scene there,
Speaker 1: you know, it really just it really got into it,
Speaker 1: and it's a celebration. I think it's a celebration of
Speaker 1: the athleticism and the poetry of basketball. So many of
Speaker 1: those scenes, not we didn't get a lot of big
Speaker 1: game scenes. We got workout scenes, and we got street
Speaker 1: ball scenes and playground scenes, and I thought that was great.
Speaker 1: And I thought the various athletes who played roles not
Speaker 1: just played themselves were terrific. Yes, Anthony Edwards, I got
Speaker 1: a screening back in February, and you know, the Timberwolves star.
Speaker 1: I said, this guy, you would not know that he
Speaker 1: played in the NBA if Yeah, I thought he was.
Speaker 1: He jumped off the screen. I thought he was that charismatic.
Speaker 1: He was the apollo creed of the story. And you're
Speaker 1: right if you know a lot of even though he's
Speaker 1: a real, real talent and a young star. You know
Speaker 1: when you're playing for the Timberwolves, Okay, you know he's
Speaker 1: not nationally he doesn't have the face of a Steph
Speaker 1: Curry or a Lebron or anybody like that yet. And
Speaker 1: you if you didn't know that, you'd think they found
Speaker 1: a really good actor who could play basketball instead of
Speaker 1: the other way around. All Right, Three movies that my
Speaker 1: audience should see this summer. Are well. The Black Phone,
Speaker 1: which just came out. I love this. It's an old
Speaker 1: fashioned horror film with Ethan Hawk playing against type as
Speaker 1: a serial killer. I love that it's set in nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy eight, which is the year that Halloween came out,
Speaker 1: so it has almost that kind of vibe of a
Speaker 1: Halloween movie psychological thriller. I'm really looking forward to Nope,
Speaker 1: which is the latest horror film from Jordan Peel. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen it yet. And what I love about this
Speaker 1: film as we knew almost nothing about it. It's got
Speaker 1: something to do with horses. That's about all we know
Speaker 1: about that. You got one more, The Forgiven Jessica Chastain
Speaker 1: and Ray Finds and this is kind of an old
Speaker 1: fashioned film noir. You know, they're the wealthy couple. They
Speaker 1: go to Morocco and they get involved in a murder
Speaker 1: and a cover up and it's about cultures clashing and
Speaker 1: it's again it goes back to great actors with great
Speaker 1: roles just knocking it out of the park. The movie
Speaker 1: that we should not see, well, I didn't like the
Speaker 1: Jurassic movie and this this this recent one. The Man
Speaker 1: from Toronto with Kevin Hard who I love and Woody Herolls.
Speaker 1: I watched that yesterday. Yeah, I mean he's played that
Speaker 1: role like in twenty movies, right, you know, the amiable,
Speaker 1: bumbling guy who finds himself in a situation over his
Speaker 1: head and then all kinds of gun shots and explosions.
Speaker 1: We've seen it a million times. Yeah, let's go to
Speaker 1: touch base with you. Um, you know I'm putting. I'm
Speaker 1: racking up numbers here with cameos, so in memoriam, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm gunning. I mean, look, if you live longer than
Speaker 1: I do, can you just get me up on the
Speaker 1: big screen and memorium at the Academy Awards. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think the key is we're gonna we're gonna give you
Speaker 1: the box office credit. You know, like like John Ratzenberger
Speaker 1: who's in all the Pixar movies, was clipped on Cheers
Speaker 1: and he has one role, so he's got a box
Speaker 1: office of like seven billion. You're well over the billion.
Speaker 1: Yes I am. We'll go with that. We'll go with that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for you to break down all the
Speaker 1: cameos that I've done. I mean, very very maybe maybe
Speaker 1: a very special podcast we can write. Would be more
Speaker 1: than happy. I forget some of the movies that I'm
Speaker 1: trying to forget some of the movies I've been on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but my job is to remind you that's true. Richard,
Speaker 1: great to talk to you again. Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 1: That's Richard Roper, Chicago Suntimes Film and TV critic. Hopefully
Speaker 1: he doesn't be a critic on this show. I don't
Speaker 1: know what you might say. Yes, boy, how does one
Speaker 1: get that job out of college? Like you're in college,
Speaker 1: like you just like stumble into it writing for entertainment,
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't. It feels like Quentin Tarantino would
Speaker 1: have been a movie critic if he didn't make movies
Speaker 1: because he worked in a video store. Right, And like
Speaker 1: when Richard came out of college, you couldn't just start
Speaker 1: your own podcast or website or whatever. You would have
Speaker 1: to write for a local paper or something. Yeah. Would
Speaker 1: you rather be a movie critic or a food critic?
Speaker 1: Food critic? Yeah, yeah, food critic for sure. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the gig, right, Yeah, although you have to be anonymous.
Speaker 1: It feels like if you go into a restaurant, you
Speaker 1: don't want them to know you're there, because then they're
Speaker 1: gonna act differently. Then you get special treatment, but people
Speaker 1: know your name, and then you know they're gonna know
Speaker 1: what you look like. And then somebody all takes it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: did you hear you know such and such as here?
Speaker 1: And then it feels like things change. Hey, this is
Speaker 1: compliments of the chef. Oh we just had this nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty two bottle of burgundy around and uh, there's compliments
Speaker 1: of the manager and the moose boos that Matri d oh.
Speaker 1: But also you're going to be going into places where
Speaker 1: you go, I don't want to eat this. I mean,
Speaker 1: Anthony Bourdain was wonderful just because he was not afraid
Speaker 1: and he was honest. But he brought in everything that
Speaker 1: like the culture that went into making that food. That
Speaker 1: that's what was brilliant about that show that you go,
Speaker 1: where is he? And then he would be trying something
Speaker 1: and it's spiders in Bangladesh? All right with my good friend.
Speaker 1: I met him in nineteen seventy seven when the sex
Speaker 1: Pistols are touring. Dig in what spiders for everybody? Spiders
Speaker 1: from Mars. All right, we'll take a break, we'll come
Speaker 1: back and we'll get phone calls and update our poll
Speaker 1: results after this. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick

Speaker 1: team is the first to fifty losses this season? We've
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time talking about how great the
Speaker 1: Yankees are on a record setting pace. This team is
Speaker 1: the first team to fifty losses in the majors this season.
Speaker 1: They're twenty five and fifty. The franchise's worst record through
Speaker 1: seventy five games since nineteen seventy nine. Anybody want to
Speaker 1: guess without cheating Paulie, This is a trick question because
Speaker 1: you'd think it'd be the Reds after their start. That
Speaker 1: was my guess. I was going to say, the Cincinnati Reds.
Speaker 1: Are you double tricking us? So I'm gonna go at
Speaker 1: the ring. Are you trying to I it's the Oakland A's. Yes,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, plenty of seats still available.
Speaker 1: I've been to an A's game. They played the Royals,
Speaker 1: and I went. It was a Saturday afternoon relaxing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know where you go into a witness protection where
Speaker 1: nobody is going to know you're at an Oakland A's game,
Speaker 1: very quiet, good seats, and we're watching the game. And
Speaker 1: next thing I know, it's really really sparse. You could
Speaker 1: almost count the number of fans there, which is sad
Speaker 1: because of that franchise and what they've meant to baseball.
Speaker 1: There's like a couple two couples to the left of us.
Speaker 1: Next thing I know, we're about to sixth inning. Two
Speaker 1: guys start fighting. They rolled down the steps, like fifteen steps,
Speaker 1: rolled down into the aisle way, there, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: what could they be mad about? Like what could possibly
Speaker 1: anger you here? And I'm gonna guess probably having beers
Speaker 1: in the sun and somebody says something. Next thing you know,
Speaker 1: it's on. Yeah, Mark Ricky Hendis is the best let's
Speaker 1: be created. No he's not Joe Rudy Is. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to even think who was on the Oakland A's back then.
Speaker 1: But I have a friend who lives in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: He's going, hey, you want to go see an A's game.
Speaker 1: I go, sure, and then you go in and I
Speaker 1: go they late arriving, you know, we always make fun
Speaker 1: of the Los Angeles fans. They're late late riving. And
Speaker 1: he goes, yeah, really late, like years. Yeah, they're not
Speaker 1: showing up. And it's one of those where I didn't
Speaker 1: want to move down because he said, we'll just get
Speaker 1: you know, seats that don't cost anything. And then you
Speaker 1: sit there and you go, there's no one in that section.
Speaker 1: There's no one in that section. I think I could
Speaker 1: probably be on third baseline right now. But that's a
Speaker 1: rough stadium though, that antiquated. You know, we usually like
Speaker 1: twenty years is how long a stadium. I think last, like,
Speaker 1: we get bored with that. And I brought this up before.
Speaker 1: Imagine if you built Fenway twenty five years ago, or
Speaker 1: you built Wrigley twenty five years ago, would you then say,
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta tear those down. It feels like
Speaker 1: you would. Here, we have these landmark you know, historical buildings.
Speaker 1: These are like Brownstones in New York City or Chicago.
Speaker 1: But you know we have to have this. I gotta
Speaker 1: get something new, gotta get something new, gotta get something new,
Speaker 1: and we would have demolished those probably. Yes. Do you
Speaker 1: think we'll ever see a point in time where and
Speaker 1: that this might be ludicrous to say, but that they
Speaker 1: start building smaller stadiums where you can create more atmosphere.
Speaker 1: Somebody was building a stadium that I thought seeded fifty thousand.
Speaker 1: Was it a football stadium? Gosh? Because it hit me
Speaker 1: that same way though, Like when I go to Seattle.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many Seattle seats, but man, that
Speaker 1: feels like a home field advantage when you go in there.
Speaker 1: That's like you hear everything the way they built it.
Speaker 1: But is it seventy five thousand, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: it feels like it's pretty intimate there. Yeah, PAULI here's
Speaker 1: the weirdest thing. The Oakland A's are the worst in
Speaker 1: baseball and A tenants eight thousand per game, and that's
Speaker 1: eight thousand paid. They're probably getting four. Yeah, they are
Speaker 1: the biggest stadium capacity fifty seven thousand. Oakland Stadium at holds.
Speaker 1: Dodgers hold fifty six, but they get forty eight thousand game,
Speaker 1: so the place looks full. Well. Fenway Fenway was like
Speaker 1: thirty three thousand, um, you know, I mean they've added
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, I got thirty seven thousand now for
Speaker 1: the new Fenway Park with the expansion. Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: still feels intimate when you go in there. I think
Speaker 1: that's the smallest Cleveland's Progressive Field. It's thirty four thousand.
Speaker 1: You know. I just remember where somebody was building a
Speaker 1: football stadium or there was a proposal, and I thought
Speaker 1: it was for fifty thousand. Yeah, mor the Browns when
Speaker 1: you talking about the Brown Stadium and they were, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe wanted to build a new one. I was like,
Speaker 1: they just built that maybe twenty years ago. I would
Speaker 1: go back to Turner Field, like, man, I thought they
Speaker 1: just built that. Yeah, they did. Atlanta, where you go okay,
Speaker 1: I went to Fulton County and then there's Turner and
Speaker 1: then whatever it is now out in the suburbs. Not
Speaker 1: the Mercedes though, is it? No? It's not sure, No,
Speaker 1: it's not one of those. Yeah, Falcon stadiums. Get one
Speaker 1: of those. Man's pretty at some phone calls in here?
Speaker 1: Uh Jeff and Tampa, Hi Jeff, what's on your mind today? Yeah?
Speaker 1: How you doing? DP? Good? Three fifty five? A lot
Speaker 1: of thomp fan. I was just thinking, like, you know
Speaker 1: how we all hate as old school NBA fans, we
Speaker 1: hate the super team era. Could Adam Silver put a
Speaker 1: stop to it by having a flat cap more like
Speaker 1: the NFL, because you know how now in the NBA,
Speaker 1: like Luca would get like, you know, four years and
Speaker 1: a one hundred million from Dallas and three years and
Speaker 1: eighty millions from any other team, and that numbers set.
Speaker 1: So these guys like they have set figures, so they
Speaker 1: step their contracts. Where there was a flat cap, I
Speaker 1: feel like they would be competing against each other to
Speaker 1: have the highest contract and then they'd be unable to
Speaker 1: make super teams. Well, I don't want to begrudge somebody
Speaker 1: if they want to make money and if there is
Speaker 1: that ability to make as much money as possible, the
Speaker 1: super teams are going to be here. But not everybody
Speaker 1: is going to subscribe to that, because you look at
Speaker 1: what happened with Golden State in Boston. They did it
Speaker 1: through the draft. Now you're gonna have to spend money
Speaker 1: to keep them, but you got to get really lucky
Speaker 1: in the draft. And if you get lucky in the
Speaker 1: draft and you build your team that way and you
Speaker 1: want to spend, you know, the Warriors, they're way over
Speaker 1: the salary cap. But if I'm a fan, I want
Speaker 1: to be part of a team ownership that spends the money.
Speaker 1: They make a lot of money, and I applaud these
Speaker 1: owners for actually spending money because there are a lot
Speaker 1: of owners who don't spend that money. But as far
Speaker 1: as make what you can make, I can't begrudge you
Speaker 1: with that, you know, maybe your motivation to move around.
Speaker 1: And I think this first super team that I can
Speaker 1: remember was probably the Philadelphia seventy six ers when Doctor
Speaker 1: J joined them, Moses Malone joined them. That's the first
Speaker 1: team that now wasn't labeled a super team, but looking back,
Speaker 1: that might have been the first one. And then it
Speaker 1: felt like you got to you have to add three
Speaker 1: superstars or at least two, and and if you could
Speaker 1: add another one. But you know these guys who would
Speaker 1: take less money. I mean, Michael Jordan kept that Bulls
Speaker 1: team together because Mike was taking six million dollars a year.
Speaker 1: Then at the end, I think he got paid twenty
Speaker 1: eight million, which seemed, you know, unseemly, like this is crazy,
Speaker 1: But you get the Larry Bird rules, so you keep
Speaker 1: the players with the team. It doesn't affect the cap.
Speaker 1: But you know, now these salaries, it's it's commonplace where
Speaker 1: we go. How much do you get he's making forty
Speaker 1: seven million dollars a year? Well, you're not even playing.
Speaker 1: He's going to sit out forty seven million dollars. David
Speaker 1: in Indiana, Hi, David, what's on your mind? Hello? Dan?
Speaker 1: Five eleven, two ten. You guys were talking about underhanded
Speaker 1: pree throws, and I think the case study has been done.
Speaker 1: I heard interviews of Rick Berry where he worked with
Speaker 1: Wilt Chamberlain and in the season that Will broke thee
Speaker 1: hundred point game, he scored twenty eight underhand free throws
Speaker 1: twenty eight thirty two yep. And then he went back
Speaker 1: to shooting overhand and being a terrible freestro shooter again. Well,
Speaker 1: Wilt got to the point, thank you David. He went
Speaker 1: to the top of the key. Wilt shot free throws
Speaker 1: and he had a horrible, horrible shot, horrible delivery. He
Speaker 1: almost shot it like he was, you know, throwing a curveball,
Speaker 1: but he took his shot. I think there was a
Speaker 1: time when Wilt could leave, He could leave from the
Speaker 1: foul line and dunk it, and then the outlaw that yeah, Paully,
Speaker 1: that seems tiring, Like if they volui go back, Yeah,
Speaker 1: ramp up. You know, Wilt Chamberlain in his third year
Speaker 1: in the league got his free throw shooting up to
Speaker 1: sixty two percent. Then he went back to his old
Speaker 1: style and like six years later he was shooting forty
Speaker 1: four percent, thirty eight percent, awful stuff, yeah, thirty eight
Speaker 1: but his follow through was horrible. And then you know,
Speaker 1: you could have gone back to shooting underhand and people
Speaker 1: might have made fun of you. They can only make
Speaker 1: fun of you for so long when you're making them
Speaker 1: Like nobody made fun of Rick Berry, no one. I
Speaker 1: mean they might have. When he started, Rick would knock
Speaker 1: down ninety three percent of his free throws. Nobody's laughing
Speaker 1: at that. But when you got guys who are you know,
Speaker 1: hitting the backboard, not the rim, or shooting an airball,
Speaker 1: that's when they laugh at you. But I don't know
Speaker 1: if any of these players are going to go all right,
Speaker 1: I can improve my free throw percentage by twenty percentage points,
Speaker 1: but then they might laugh at me. I think Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons should sign up for that final hour on the way.
Speaker 1: The Patriots still have a problem ex Patriots with Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 1: Interesting beef that's going on, that's coming up. Thanks to
Speaker 1: people like you, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation delivers on
Speaker 1: its promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices
Speaker 1: of America's greatest heroes, heroes like Misotis. Familia couldn't wait
Speaker 1: to join the NYPD to protect her community, proudly wore
Speaker 1: that uniform, but was ambushed, shot in the head in
Speaker 1: the line of duty, solely because of the uniform that
Speaker 1: she was wearing. She survived by her three children. Genesis
Speaker 1: twenty at the time of the murder, became the sole
Speaker 1: guardian and provider for her twin siblings, Peter and Delilah,
Speaker 1: who were twelve at the time. Thanks to your generosity,
