WEBVTT - Hour 2 - Lakers Start 0-4, Cooper Manning 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:17.640 Sports Radio. It's pretty dark clear that Lebron's seen enough. 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.880 The franchise was wandering in the desert without a drink 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:24.720 for years, and I delivered a championship. Check the resume. 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:29.880 Let's turn this thing back around. Ramona Shelburne said on 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.320 NBA Today that there's a sense that things need to 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:37.120 change in LA and rather quickly. One. Welcome to the 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.360 Dan Patrick Show. What did they expect to be different here? 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:45.080 I'm just trying to understand this. Russ still can't shoot, 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.040 Rush doesn't want to come off the bench. Now, what 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.400 do you do? Do you turn the season upside down 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.959 because you don't want to hurt Russ's feelings. Broadcasting from 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.800 the Mercedes Man because it feels like Buddy Healed and 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:02.120 Moles Turner make you a little bit more well rounded 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:09.080 Patrick Show. While while we chopped up a couple of 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.640 topics here topics here basketball last night watching the Nets 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:16.240 against the Buck against the Lakers against the Nuggets. The Nuggets, 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.959 by the way, the Bucks are the only undefeated team 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:22.320 the Lakers now oh and four Eagles picked up some 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:26.039 help the defensive line with Robert Quinn. Twelve year veteran 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.400 Mac Jones will get the start for the Patriots, Andy 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:33.679 Dalton for the Saints. Tonight Ravens at the Buccaneers and 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:38.319 that line is minus one Buccaneers maybe one and a half. Also, 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.800 three college games coming up, and the Yankees decided they're 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.959 keeping Aaron Boone. I thought he was on the hot 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.120 seat the entire year. It always felt like, you know, hey, 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:52.080 don't sit down, Aaron. But you saw what happened at 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.720 the end. They started great, You had a magical season. 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:59.280 What happens with Aaron? Judge? And is Aaron Boone the 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.080 problem for this team? Or how much of a problem 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.360 was he? You got swept by the Astros. You decided 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.280 to bring him back, all right, But what happened to 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:12.639 this team? That's the bigger question. The other players. You know, 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.560 you can apply analytics, but analytics doesn't help you hit 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.880 it or strike somebody out. You might be applying those analytics, 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.640 your guys still have to produce, and you certainly didn't 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.720 see that from the Yankees in the postseason. John Smoltz 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.880 calling the World Series, will join us a little more 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.960 than an hour from now. Cooper Manning will join us 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.520 coming up in a little bit as well. Eight seven 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.600 seven three d P Show email understpa dan Patrick dot 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.480 com Twitter handle at DP show. Very proud to announce. 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.840 I said it was a big announcement. There was a 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.519 lot of speculation where we're adding another dan Atte where 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.799 we're getting rid of a dan att but and also 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.200 maybe going to Ireland coming up next year, and that's 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:59.200 still that's still a possibility, and I'd like to open 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.400 it up. Maybe if we get to the point where 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.960 we can have the audience, some people, our listeners maybe 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.600 joining us, be so sick that we just do a 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:13.040 road trip to Dublin. Will Ferrell's all in. He said 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:14.640 that he wants to go. We do a couple of 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.959 shows over there, Notre Dame plays Navy, I think next August, yeah, 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.320 the twenty sixth, I think, and we could be heading 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.080 over there. That's something we haven't ruled out. But the 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:28.480 big announcement was Tailgate Moonshine. We have our own moonshine 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:35.200 and the inaugural batch there classically created, handmade. We are 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:39.360 partnering with White Dog Distilling in Rhode Island and you 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.440 can drink it neat on ice, mix it whatever, and 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:48.280 it's a cinnamon apples cinnamon. The apples freshly, they're locally 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.760 grown and infused with the natural cinnamon. To the main 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:58.120 stage Tailgate Moonshine, win or lose, we celebrate Tailgate Dan 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.280 Patrick dot com. Yes, poet, you in Seaton designed the 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.280 bottle and it's it's next level. It's a really cool 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.160 the way you got to see it in person. You 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:07.800 gotta order it and check it out. But the bottle 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.200 is legit. Yep, very proud of it. A lot of 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:14.920 fun and uh, you know we had painstaking uh you 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.720 know those days where we had to get done with 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.680 work and sip moonshine. How are you gonna be late today? Yeah, 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:25.240 just to find the right taste. And we did. And 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.320 and Todd's not a drinker, I said, Todd, he looks pretty. 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.400 You got to taste it. And he goes, oh, that 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.160 that tastes like apples and cinnamon. Said yes, and we're 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.599 gonna call it apple cinnamon. That makes sense. Yeah, Todd goes, 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.040 can we have a s'mores flavor? I said, don't rule 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.560 it out? Why not, don't rule it out? Do anything. 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.120 We can do anything with this moonshine. But this is uh, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.320 inaugural batch. We gave your heads up if you were 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.080 on the newsletter that you can order it now. Anybody 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.960 can order dan Patrick dot com and and let me 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:56.960 know what you think about it, because I love the bottle, 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.920 love the taste, and it was just something fun. Tayl 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.600 Gate Moonshine, who would have thought phone calls will get 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:08.520 to those coming up, mentioned the Lakers lost again, and 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.920 I bring it up because they're owing four. They're owing 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.640 four for the first time since twenty fifteen, and when 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.040 they've started owing four before, they haven't made the playoffs. Now, granted, 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:25.680 those are different rosters and those stats are misleading. There 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.720 there's nothing misleading about this Laker team. They're just not 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.760 going to be a consistent team, not going to be 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.839 a good team. Keep this in mind, and this is 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.760 why I always I never say never when it comes 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.880 to you have no chance of winning, or they can't 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:45.320 make the playoffs, or they're not good. Last year the 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:52.520 Lakers were twenty eight and thirteen before injuries, thirteen. You 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.480 have it there. But if you look at the players 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.920 that they have traded away in the last two years, 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:08.240 Kyle Kuzma, Contavias Caldwell, Pope, Alex Caruso, Danny Green, Mark, 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:15.200 Keith Morris, Montreal, Harold Montrese, Harrold. Okay, those aren't great players, 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.840 but those you have to fill out your roster and 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.280 have some depth. They barely have five let alone. Can 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.359 they go five deep? And it's not all on Russell Westbrook. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.839 Russ is. This is who he is. They knew who 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.200 they were getting, They knew what they were getting. You 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.560 can't go God, he can't shoot. Did you watch him 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.560 in Washington? Did you watch him in Houston? He's a 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:47.000 score When the offense revolves around him. Russ can score. 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.400 It's not gonna be pretty. And he's probably gonna get 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.240 a triple double because when you get a triple double, 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.320 people weren't focusing on how well he was shooting. There'd 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.440 be like a seven for twenty two. But he also 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.000 had thirteen assists and twelve rebounds. He had a triple double. 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:09.400 Yes he did, but it's not like he became a 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.520 bad shooter. And Ben Simmons, it's not like he became 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.000 a bad shooter. We keep watching and expecting a different 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.200 result and I'm like, it's not going to happen. Ben 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:23.160 Simmons doesn't all of a sudden become Chris Mullen. It's 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.280 not like one game where you go, damn, did you 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:30.760 see him killing it? If Chris Mullen was shooting right handed, 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.920 then maybe that's where Ben is going. But last night, 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:40.880 when your teammate is saying Ben, shoot it, here's Kyrie 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.440 after the loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. So you guys 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.480 keep coming in here asking me, like, what about Ben? 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.240 What about Ben? And it's just he hasn't played in 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.800 two years. Give him a chance, you know what I mean. 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.160 We could stay on his, stay on I wish I 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:54.920 could say other words, come, I'm from Jersey, but we 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:59.200 think me stay on him, and like you should stay 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.480 on him. And we're just here to give him positive 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.120 affirmations while he's out there and just let him hoop, 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.720 you know, and then while he's hooping and getting back 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.320 into it, we're gonna have to really gel as a 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.160 team in order to learn how to win as a group. 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.040 But I think these are fair questions. When we were 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.680 talking about mental illness with Ben, or if he was 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.360 battling through that, then I understood the sensitivity here. I 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.280 don't know what happened in Philly. I don't that feels 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.440 like a thirty for thirty one of these days where 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.720 we look back on the Philadelphia story with Ben and 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.560 what happened? What was really going on there? Because I 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.599 don't know, you know, was it a contract, was it 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.000 mental issues? You know? What was he battling through? I 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.240 don't know. But he's now with the nets and these 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.880 are fair questions in my opinion to be able to 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.680 ask him. And I would say to Kyrie, why did 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.600 you tell him? Or why won't you shoot? Why? Why 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.400 did you get to the point where you have to 0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:03.280 yell at a teammate to shoot. Usually you would say, hey, 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:08.160 pass the ball. Now you're saying shoot it. God, I 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.920 would have loved a teammate to say shoot it, yes, Mark. 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.880 I'm still flabbergasted by the Ben Simmonstein. He was a 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.280 McDonald's All American. He was the first pick in the draft. 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.880 He was a national player that in high school and 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.319 he can't shoot. It is I just can't even I 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.679 don't even have the words to come up with, like 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.480 why was it? Just like he's just such a phenomenal passer, rebounder. 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.560 The size well, he was six to nine, he was 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:36.439 the next Magic but Magic made himself a better shooter. 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:41.400 Magic had a set shot. He became a serviceable shooter 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.800 and good from the free throw line. I think it 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:49.240 all goes back to shooting free throws because if I 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.079 know I'm going to get fould, I go to line 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:55.560 and I'm gonna make those and I think psychologically that 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.840 would help him greatly. Therefore, you're not afraid to take 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.040 it to the hoop. You're not afraid to challenge somebody. 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.599 He's just not aggressive because he does not want to 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.600 go to the free throw line, and that's where all 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.600 of his problems stem. If you can get comfortable at 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.680 the line, you're going to get comfortable on the court 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:15.920 and you're still not going to be a good jump shooter. 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.720 But it just I would hire some of the best 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:25.600 left handed shooters if they're available. Is Chris Mallen available? 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.840 Molly had one of the great shots in basketball history. 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.440 I bring him in. What do you see? But it's 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.400 hard to change somebody when they're twenty six years of age. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.400 They've been doing this the whole time. It's like a 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.920 golf swing. It's like, wait, I can't change it. But 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.560 he's out there performing in front of people and does 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.640 not want to be embarrassed. And that thought, I mean, 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:54.240 you're already defeated when you step on the floor. You're thinking, 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.719 I don't want to be embarrassed. I could get embarrassed 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.760 and watch him last night he was trying to take 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.800 it to the hoop sort of, but the Greek freak 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.960 was there and it wasn't a pretty picture. But it's 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:14.800 not changing. Russell Westbrook doesn't change. Ben Simmons doesn't change. 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:19.240 But that won't stop everybody from covering them expecting change. 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.320 It's just not going to happen. Ben can still be 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.840 a quality player. That's why when people go, man, okay, 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.559 all right, he's supposed to be great man. He can 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.520 place him defense, Yes, he was Defensive Player of the Year. 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.360 He's a good passer, he's a good rebounder. All of 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.320 those things suffer when you know I could go to 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.560 the line and get embarrassed. I could have a wide 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:45.400 open jumper and shoot an arable. Now that doesn't bother 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.640 Russell Westbrook. Russell will have it off the side of 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.720 the backboard and he'll look at his hand like his 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.960 hand heads like going whoa, Like a ball goes through 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:57.199 your glove and you're like, look a glove, we got 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.760 a hole. Yeah. More. And it's amazing that he's playing 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.319 the freak because the Greek freak is the complete opposite 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.800 of him. He came in less skilled than Ben Simmons, 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.520 coming out of you know, college or whatever, and he 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:13.160 has turned himself into an all around player where the 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:17.520 jump shot isn't you know, Steph Curry knockdown, but you 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.480 have to respect it at least run at Jannis when 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.439 he's trying to shoot and the free throws all that stuff. 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:29.560 So it's it's unfathomable that Ben Simmons hasn't gotten it together. Yes. Yeah. 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.280 If you go back to a Jannis's first year in 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.360 the league, he averaged seven points and four rebounds. He 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.400 was coming off the bench twenty four minutes of game, 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.280 and it was it was a slow growth, almost like 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.080 Steph Curry. You mentioned Magic Johnson. I had never noticed 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:41.600 what a good free throw shooter he was. I went 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.080 back and looked at his stats. Magic at age twenty, 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.400 he was averaging eighteen seven and seven as a rookie, 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.160 and he shot eighty one percent from the line. His 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.280 career shooting PERTENTI from the line is eighty six percent, 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.319 and he even led an entire league and free throw 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.320 shooting one year at ninety one percent. I did not 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.480 know that about Magic. Yeah, but he made his himself 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.520 a better shooter because if you watched him at Michigan State, 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.720 Magic was always on the move in transition and and 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:13.280 he developed a set shot and he didn't jump. But 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.480 at six to nine, he didn't have to jump. But 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:16.920 if he took it to the hoop and then he 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.400 found him, he's going to make his free throws. It's 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:23.160 such a great confidence builder. And you don't have to 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.720 be a knockdown a great knockdown shooter. You just have 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.760 to be respectable that they go, you know, let me 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.800 get up on you, because when they get up on you, 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.840 that's when Magic would go around you. Yes. More, is 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.360 this something that just happens with basketball players that are 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.280 great athletes? To Derreck Roses de rag and Rondo's where 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.880 you were just so much. You were athletically superior to 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.360 everybody in high school and even in college where I 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.640 don't need to, you know, shoot this jumper. I could 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.120 just go right past you and get to the hoop. 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:51.920 And then when he gets an NBA there, you know, 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.440 I don't know if he's working on his game. I didn't. 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.520 You know, guys sometimes get to the pros and then 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.360 they stopped because they got to the pros. That but 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.360 there are guys who like the Greek freak. It feels 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.040 like every game is a referendum on his career and 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.920 he wants to prove to you that he can be 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.960 great every single night. I don't know how many players 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:16.480 have that. Yeah, mar this might be a whole other convo. Culturally, 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.160 Greek freaks not from here, so people weren't on him. 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.880 You know, he didn't have the hoop mixtape dot com, 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:26.560 the ball is Life mixtape coming out of Greece, and 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.480 they were like, man, this guy's the next x Y 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:33.160 and Z, Derrick Rose, Rondo, Ben Simmons, you know all 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.600 those guys you know here in America, they had those Man, 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.560 He's the next you know, Magic, the next Jordan, the 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:43.200 next whoever. And you know they had all those accolades 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:44.840 coming to them, you know, at such a young age. 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.200 I don't know if that had anything to do with it, 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.040 and I could have, but but you still, I just 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.280 can't imagine that when you go to the playground to 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.600 shoot around, what is that like for people who can't shoot, 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.160 Like I wouldn't go to the I wouldn't go to 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.040 the playground and shoot if I I couldn't shoot, Yes, 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.600 what's it like to be I can answer this question. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:06.720 You guys might want to let me take this for 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.480 a bit, because it would it would It would bum 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:14.680 me out. I would be shooting clank, hey, little help, clank, clank, 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.800 and there's nothing. There's very few sounds better than the 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:23.160 ball going through the net the swish. I wouldn't I 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.200 wouldn't practice if that was the case. I wouldn't want 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.560 to go out there and go I'm just going to 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.960 run around for all the rebounds. Yeah. Point. I used 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.520 to play pick up with my friends, and I was 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.640 beyond a terrible shooter. I was just a non shoot. 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.280 I wouldn't even try because I was that bad. I 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.880 would try to like help out by like a teammate 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.200 would be in a jam and pick up their drive 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:41.840 and to get it right back to them. I was 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.000 like a useless player on the court, but I was 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.880 aware of it, so I didn't try to shoot when 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.600 I knew it wasn't. Yeah, but you weren't getting paid 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.680 thirty six million dollars like Ben Simmonson close, But I 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.400 could make more free throws than that. You think you 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.920 could beat him in a free throw shooting contest? Yes, 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.280 I do, Okay, Yeah, I would put it up. I 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.720 put a week spanning. Yeah, I'm you guys get to 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.720 trade checks. Yeah, he doesn't weak checks. Yeah, I'm talking 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.040 about he doesn't want to be embarrassed. But hey, I'm 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.520 willing to go into the man cave there and shoot again. 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:12.520 Yet one I just heard back from Netspry said two o'clock. Okay, okay, 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.320 I gotta get back during college football. That's now he's 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.600 in my head. You know what, We'll go to him, 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.960 all right. That seems a reason ago I would put 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.120 cash on that that you would beat Ben Simmons. Yeah. 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.560 I'm very competitive, you know. Oh I know that. Yeah. Yeah, 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.080 I think I think I could get six. Okay, I 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.880 think I get six. I put up if I said 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.520 a thousand dollars, oh yeah, okay, and he has to 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:38.080 put up more or less five thousand. Yeah I do that. Yeah. See, 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.000 is there a way we could do it at like 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.640 halftime of their next home game, just so we can 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:49.080 get the crowd involved. Yeah, ladies and gentlemen or free 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.400 throw shooting contest. But if I beat him, I get 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:55.120 to stay and I get to play slots to play two, 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.040 you get to play. All right, we'll get to phone 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:01.880 calls coming up once again. The announcement yesterday and today 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:06.719 tailgate Moonshine, and Seaton's been monitoring how many people are 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:10.560 buying moonshine so far. So after an hour and seventeen minutes, 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.840 what kind of progress do we have with Moonshine? I 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.560 would it's very possible that our whole inventory doesn't last 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.320 the hour. Oh seriously, yeah, yeah, we're running through them. 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.000 Just in this last like ten minutes, there was like 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.879 another hundred bottle sold, so we're running through it. Okay, 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.960 this is the inaugural batch, so just if and this 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.440 isn't a marketing point, we're very proud of this, and 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.080 you know we're in it for the long haul and 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:38.359 we have other flavors, but you know, it's special to 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.720 get the first bottle of this, if you can Dan 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:43.879 Patrick dot com. Yes, and the labels were sort of 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:48.199 designed for collectors. Yes, and so there's sort of what 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.320 do you call them Easter eggs in there, and so 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:53.639 each label is designed for each batch. So this is 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.800 the only batch that you're going to get with these 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.440 the set of label Oh okay, and we have other 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.959 things attached to it as well.

We're going to talk 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.160 about that, because I don't know if Buffalo cares about 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.760 getting a super Bowl. Normally, when you build a new stadium, 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:17.960 it's like, Ah, you build a stadium, you get a 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:21.320 super Bowl. Talk about that.

Say hello to Cooper Manning, our old buddy. 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:17.120 Look at you big time. Remember remember when you worked 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.560 with us in New Orleans, Manning on the street. Now, 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.639 look at you, Dan. I gotta give you all the credit. 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:27.080 You saw something in me that no one else saw. Goodness. 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.200 Paulie came to me before we went to that Super 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:31.920 Bowl in New Orleans. He goes, I got I got 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:34.919 an idea. He goes, you know, Cooper is the funny 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:37.960 Manning and maybe we could just have him on the 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:43.119 street walking around creating content. And you had these great 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.280 you know, each day we had something that was unscripted. 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.960 It was just funny and I really appreciated you taking 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.720 a chance there. Then next thing, I know, now you're 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.960 like a mogul. You're a you're a scout. You're scouting 0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.880 people in sixth grade next to you know, they're getting draft. 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.679 So that was I remember it was three days. It 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.000 was perfect weather. Running around the French Quarter, which is 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.800 just the microphone and a camera the French Quarter, you're 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:11.600 gonna run into some humor and h and we got 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.560 a lot of laughs, probably a lot of stuff that 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:17.000 didn't get left on the editing room floor. But we 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.679 I appreciate you taking a taking a stab at me, 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:22.200 and I've had a lot of fun. And actually the 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:25.200 couples several things I've done lately are just all just 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.040 you know, rooted in what we what we did those 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:30.800 three days at Super Bowl where you guys grew up. 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:34.280 But the Garden District in inw Orlengs. Okay, So the 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:37.560 proximity to the French Quarter, it feels like the people 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.320 who live in Vegas, who live outside the strip don't 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:42.800 necessarily go to the strip. How often would you and 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:47.200 Eli and Peyton go to the French Quarter more often 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:49.800 than you think. It's really only about I mean it's 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:53.119 eight ten minutes tops of a ride, so it's not 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:57.160 a big deal. Tons of restaurants. We're probably down there 0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.240 in high school when we were not supposed to be 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:01.240 down there. You know, you could there are a couple 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:03.159 of bars there. I think you know, you have to 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:08.479 be twelve, I think to get in, Uh, yeah, you 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:10.440 have an idea. If you're older than eighteen, it's probably 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:11.920
