WEBVTT - 01/26/21 DPS Hour 3 Jimmer Fredette 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:06.320 Sports Radio Final Hour. On this Tuesday, Dan and The 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:09.360 dan 's Dan Patrick Show spent a good portion of 0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:13.240 the show reminiscing about Kobe Bryant and he passed away. 0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:15.520 It was a year ago today. We were actually in 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.720 Miami at the Super Bowl, and we brought back some 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:23.280 of our favorite interviews. Jerry West, Reggie Miller, Kobe himself, 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.480 and Ramona Sherburne from the Mothership. He had a great 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:28.920 relationship with. Kobe joined us last Hour. If you missed 0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:30.960 that interview or any of our interviews, go to Dan 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:34.839 Patrick dot com eight seven seven three DP Show email 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.640 addressed EP of Dan Patrick dot Com Twitter handle at 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:40.200 DP show, say good morning to Peacock. That's our TV 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.000 partner and also our great radio affiliates around the country. 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.280 We have a poll question. I don't know if we're 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.559 staying with the pole question mclovan. It's Aaron Rodgers related 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.319 so Willie retire packer? Which is kind of open ended 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.639 because I think the question is this offseason. Seventy four 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.560 percent say no, he will not end up a packer. 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.240 I have a question just how long you think he'll 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.800 play because he's talked about going for a while. He's 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:04.880 not like saying I'm almost done. I don't know what 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.600 he wants to do when he's done with football. That 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.160 would probably help me understand if you want to continue 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.440 to play and you're not quite sure what you're doing 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.840 when you decide to retire. Drew Brees has a TV job. 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.399 Greg Olson just retired. He has a TV job. Feels 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.320 like Jason Witten of the Raiders, who is going to 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.240 go into coaching at some point when he's done. I 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.520 don't know what these players want to do. What's Ben 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.920 Roethlisberger want to do? What's Brady do when he retires? 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.720 I think we always go well, the fallback plan is 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.160 to be a broadcaster. I don't know. And Philip Rivers, 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.360 I guess is going to be a broadcaster. They may 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.440 put him in the Monday night football booth. I don't 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.920 know if the other quarterbacks want to do that or 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:50.200 other players want to do that. Greg Olsen is going 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.960 to go in the booth. Jason Witten had his moment 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.720 on Monday Night Football. Maybe they look at that Tony 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.040 Romo money and go man. On second thought, I mean, 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.280 if you're Tom Brady do you want to be an analyst? 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.559 If you could make twenty million dollars a year. Let's 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:09.520 just say, if Tony Romo's worth seventeen, what's Tom bradyworth? 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:15.400 What's Peyton worth? I would pay Peyton more because I 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:19.040 think he's more of a student of the game in 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.400 his approach, like he created his own system. Not that 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:27.400 Brady couldn't do it, but Peyton, it feels like, would 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.800 be more analytical, or he would be more comfortable talking 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.000 to you about what he sees during a play, and 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.240 then you know Romo has always told you what's going 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.840 to happen before the play. Feels like Peyton would be 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.239 even better than that. But if you're going to pay, 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.320 and I think Peyton wants to be in the front office, 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.720 it feels like maybe more of an Elway role than 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.240 a Tony Romo role. But what would you pay for 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:55.400 Tom Brady in two years twenty million? What would you 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:59.200 pay for Peyton Manning? What would you pay for Aaron Rodgers? 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.680 But they strike me as they want to do something 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:08.280 different than just that. Maybe Aaron wants to host Jeopardy. 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.040 I think he's going to get his chance here in 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.480 a couple of weeks where he's going to be the 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.480 fill in host there. They got Ken Jennings who did it, 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.320 Katie Kurk I think is going to do it. Aaron 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.600 Rodgers is going to do it. And I was asked 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.040 if I wanted to be considered. I want to make 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.840 sure that I have this on record because people have 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.639 asked me since I did one hundred episodes of Sports Jeopardy. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.720 It was on the Jeopardy set with the great staff 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.600 there that Alex Trebec had. Everything that we did is 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.600 what Alex would do for the last thirty three years. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.080 I had all of those people working on Sports Jeopardy. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:51.000 And I was approached approached about if I wanted to 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.960 be considered as one of the hosts for Jeopardy, and 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.119 I said I did not because they if they're looking 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.800 for people and they're trying to find a replacement for 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.520 or Alex Trebek, good luck with that. It's a commitment. 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.360 I have a great job here and I was honored 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.560 that they would even consider me for that opportunity. But 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.200 I wasn't interested in that. I just I didn't want 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.320 to take up the space. I didn't want to do 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.920 it and say, hey, I'm going to take a victory 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.520 lap and do Jeopardy. That's that's not that was never 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.960 my approach. I even told Alex I was not interested 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:29.880 in hosting this because there were articles or conversation that 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:34.159 was I the air apparent to Alex Trebek doing sports Jeopardy. 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.400 And when we went to dinner, I said to Alex, 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.760 just so you know, I am not interested in doing 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:46.400 Jeopardy and I and I don't know if he even 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.080 thought about me doing it, but I wanted him to 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.200 know that I'm in the room, I'm doing it on 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.479 his set. It's it's his. I mean, I just I 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.560 didn't want any part of that. Honored, flattered, loved the 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.920 people I work with, but I didn't want to go, 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:05.359 you know, in host sports or regular Jeopardy. It'd be 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.360 a wonderful challenge, the opportunity, but I'm that's not what 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.520 I want to do. Yeah, boy, you did see the schedule, 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:16.040 didn't you. Yeah, I know, to see the paycheck. Alex 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.200 was working fifty forty he told us when we had 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.080 him in studio, maybe four years ago. I think he 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.400 told us he works forty three days a year, like forty. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.560 This schedule. Yeah, I mean those days are full days. Yes, 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.040 you know, it's a twelve hour day, but forty three 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.080 of them. Yeah. Remember he also told us he never 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.680 once asked for a race. He said he didn't want 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.599 to be difficult. He realized he had a great job, 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.560 and they gave him raises. Yeah, he was great, But 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.400 you're doing five shows a day. And he was such 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.919 a machine. Because when I did Sports Jeopardy, Now, granted 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.000 I did the radio show in Los Angeles, so I 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.960 would do three hours at six in the morning till nine. 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.520 I would get out of the building at Direct TV, 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.280 and then I would go to the Sony lot and 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.520 then we would go through all four of the games, 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.120 all the storyboards there with all the clues, and then 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.080 I'd have something to eat, get dressed, and we would 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.680 start at eleven o'clock and we would usually finish it 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:17.359 around five. And that was just going four shows in 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.320 a day was a grind. And here's Alex doing five 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.359 shows in a day. And that's why he was able 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.120 to work less than fifty days out of the year. Yeah, 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.479 the club, do you think you could have done the content? 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.920 I mean, the sports show was in your wheelhouse obviously, 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.800 Like I feel like Mesopotamia and all those weird answers 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:39.039 is a different Yeah. I look, I struggled to do 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:44.120 sports Jeopardy, really yes, because it's not the clues, it's 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:48.479 the traffic. When there's three people. The pace is what 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.640 is really really hard to get. And you know, this 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.279 is what Alex said. You know, Alex said, you gotta 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.240 get the cadence down. Once you get tempo down, it helps. 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.560 But what happened is you would have contestants who would 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.640 jump around the board instead of going I'll take famous 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:11.840 NFL coaches for two hundred, and then famous NFL coaches 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.240 for three hundred, they would go all the way over 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.800 here to great field goal kickers for eight hundred. So 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:22.320 you you're trying to follow all of this, get out 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.440 the clue, wait for the answer, make sure it's the 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.960 right answer, cross that off, and then move on. And 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:36.040 I knew probably eighty percent of the answers, but even 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.800 then it was still difficult. I would have had a 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:43.880 hard time. And anybody who thinks they can do Jeopardy, 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:48.680 it's really really difficult. You do it, and then you 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.920 tell me if you think you can do it, because 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.560 it took me. I'm going to guess thirty episodes of 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.640 Sports Jeopardy where I truly felt like, this is my show. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.240 I'm comfortable doing this, and if you're coming in and 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:06.200 you're doing five, it's really difficult. And Alex made it 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.760 look so easy that he had that flow, that tempo, 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.160 and you really have to have gravitas like you have 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.200 to when you stand up there that people believe you, 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.880 and Alex had that gravitas that you believed in him, 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.679 and I think that'll be very difficult for some people. 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.680 And I've seen a lot of names thrown around there, 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.640 and I wish you the best of luck, but I 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:34.600 will say go in with eyes wide open, because you 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.040 are going to be I was gonna say, surprise. You'll 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:42.640 be shocked at how quickly it moves and trying to 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.679 just keep your thoughts organized. And I was doing it 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:52.839 in sports where I had a home field advantage, and 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.400 they're gonna be hard pressed to find somebody, you know, 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.160 to take over for Alex. Yeah. Point. I watched you 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.280 tape some of those shows and what Alex had to 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:02.680 do when you had to do. I think one of 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.520 the biggest thing is you get three different contestants every show. 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.560 Those are three different personalities. One person could be good 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.080 on air. One person cannot be good on air there, 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:12.760 and you have to tell the story with them, and 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:14.720 they may have not played back and forth with you. 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.880 You have to be prepared in real time to clean 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.600 up their mess or make them more interesting. And then 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.680 you've got three more dudes or three more people, three 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.240 more men and women in the next half hour. But 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.480 there would be times when you make mistakes. And I 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.880 tried to do it and be perfect. And Harry Friedman, 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.560 the long time executive producer, he said, he pulled me 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:37.400 aside one time and he goes up, Alex makes mistakes, 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.600 and I go he does, He goes, yes, he does. 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.400 He said, don't worry about Alex makes mistakes. And after 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.840 that I kind of went, all right, well, Alex makes mistakes. 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:48.800 I'll make a mistake or two and then they clean 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.880 it up and you'd never know, you know, once it's 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.360 put on TV. But I can't say enough about the 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:58.280 people that I worked with there, as good and professional 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.520 as anybody I've ever worked with. But I did not 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.199 want to be considered for that opportunity. And uh no, 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.520 let the other one sorted out and good luck with that, 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:13.280 and uh, you'll need it, Uh, let me see you know. 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.319 We played a couple of these clips. Here was one 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.599 that we were surprised about. We had Derrick Henry on 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.000 at the super Bowl last year, and it felt like 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:26.120 everybody had a Kobe story, including Derrick Henry, the great 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.520 Titans running back. He had this to say last year 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:34.439 at the super Bowl. We had esme's but it was my, uh, well, 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.600 my rookie year. I was. I was, well, yeah, after 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.080 I got drafted and um, Kobe was walking up. He 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.280 had all black, he was with his wife, and Um, 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:42.360 I was talking to Hi. I was like, I was 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.640 like this, Kobe, I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna say something. 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.000 I was like, I was like, what should I say? 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.360 I mean, what should I say? I killed asked us. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.120 She was like this, this is just be yourself. This 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.679 this this says. I was like, what, ifeople know me? 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.200 What if you don't, I don't say nothing to me. 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.840 What she was like, he knows who you are and 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.160 he walks by and I just froze. I didn't say, 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.959 I say nothing. I didn't say nothing. I don't know. 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:05.439 So weird, I just like I could at the first 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.080 time I ever got like that. I couldn't say anything. 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.560 What would you have said? I don't even know. That's 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.480 why I couldn't say that. I don't know what. I 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.080 should have been carrying the heisman with you. That would 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.960 have helped. Maybe maybe maybe that would have helped. Oh, 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.160 Derek and you could. He was even nervous sort of 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.520 telling that story that he missed that opportunity to say 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.360 something to Kobe, and he goes, I don't know what 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:30.960 to say. I don't know if he knows who I am. 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.280 But we just had so many of those moments a 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.200 year ago at the Super Bowl. Lebron went for forty 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.000 six last night against the Calves, and I guess there 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:45.560 was a Cleveland employee front office person who was courtside 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.760 who clapped after Lebron missed a shot at the end 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.360 of the third quarter, and Lebron thought that he was, 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.920 I don't know, a little too excited after Lebron's miss, 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.280 and then Lebron outscored the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:04.640 You're starting to get conversation about MVPs. Of course, no 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.079 matter what sport, you got to start at early. Joe 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:11.840 LMBIID getting a lot of conversation about MVP The Orange 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.920 County Register a couple of days ago had the case 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:20.280 for Lebron winning the MVP and for him not winning 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:25.760 the MVP. The Lakers have the best record in the NBA, 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.200 and nine of the last twelve MVPs have come from 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.320 the winningest regular season team. Best player on the best 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:36.160 team automatically makes you an MVP candidate, period. He also 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:41.000 leads in individual plus minus. Lakers of el scored opponents 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.040 by one hundred forty eight points when he's on the 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:47.040 court and only by eleven points when he's off. The 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.439 Lakers have the best five man lineup of any group 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.240 in the NBA that's played at least seventy five minutes, 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:57.000 also leading scorer, leading assist man, which usually has little 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.120 something to do with winning games. I think Lebron on 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:07.680 is not obsessed, but he is motivated to win the 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:12.079 mv pick because I think in his mind, Hey, I'm 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.000 going to win the title. I'm I'm the I'm the 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.120 regular season MVP. I reinvented myself and at my age, 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.720 and I'm leaving the NBA and assists and I'm being 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:26.160 a leader. This was a new story. The Greek Freak 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:31.320 was a new story. Harden what he did Westbrook. You 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.920 know Luca don Chick is now you know this will 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.600 be his year. But but you know what, his team 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.680 is not very good right now. Lebron's been doing this 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:45.000 at a high level for two decades. I would say, 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.720 deep down he wants to I don't know if he 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.240 would say it publicly, but I would say deep down, 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.760 that's the motivation is he wants to be the MV 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.679 pick and he's going to make sure that he's the 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.040 MVP this year. Yeah, this might be weird, but is 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.839 it better for Lebron or his support if he doesn't 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.160 win MVP because people like us will say I can't 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.079 believe they're slighting him again, or when his career is 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.840 over he only won four or however many as three, 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.120 it's like Phil Jackson only winning a few, or Michael 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.960 Jordan not getting him. The spotlight goes on them when 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.440 they don't win it more than they do if he win, 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.600 it's like Lebron got another Well I think he went 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.400 through that last year. Yeah, where it's like, man, I 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.280 don't know, but you know, the Greek freak was on 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.360 the team with the best record. Did that make him 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:30.200 the most valuable I didn't think so. I thought Lebron 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.880 was also a great story at his age doing what 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.880 he was doing, and then they win the title. But 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:40.080 I don't know, Joe Lmbid's gonna put up incredible numbers 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.120 this year. Lebron's not gonna put up incredible numbers. He's 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.520 shooting better from three point range than he ever has 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:49.360 in his career. So I don't know what is going 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.640 to impact these voters when they look at this. But 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.800 if the Lakers have the best record in the NBA, 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:59.720 Lebron's gonna win the MVP. I truly believe them. Patrick 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.560 mu Holmes is going to join us on Thursday. Mahomes 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:09.040 from the Chiefs, Yeah, yeah, he is gonna join us, Yes, yes, time. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.360 And Derrick Henry, who we just just shared that Kobe story, 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.400 He's also gonna be part of Thursday's show. All right, 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.480 are you guaranteeing? Mahomes joines? You know what, I'm gonna 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.920 go ahead and guarantee that. Man. I don't like to 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.200 do that, because could happened. You get these messages, Oh 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.760 wait a second, something came up, or the meetings and 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.240 schedules changed. You just guaranteed it, did I can't tell 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.600 you just no, you can't. No take thanks, no take me. Yep, 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.720 you guaranteed it. Patrick Mahomes, Dan Patrick Show on Thursday. 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.720 What happens if that doesn't happen? What do I win? Anything, lose? 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:43.520 Anything on this guarantees their eyes involved? How about you 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:48.480 have to wear a medium Tampa Bay T shirt? No 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.520 medium Chiefs T shirt? How about a medium, Patrick Mahomes. 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.040 I can't squeeze. It's I could barely get it to 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.480 the large. Did you put me in a medium? That's 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.480 the punishment? Okay, But then what happens on the other side. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.080 There's a lot of what happens to me, But like 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.720 if usually the sudding happens to the other side, Well 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.480 you get the victory lap you get. That's not anything 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:10.600 a victory lap, I mean super Bowl coming up? You get. Patrick, 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:12.800 Let's just hope I don't have to squeeze for the 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.200 for the sake of everyone, and especially for people talk 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.040 about using their lunch. You get, Patrick Mahomes, I'll start 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.480 every segment and say something nice about you. That would work. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.280 Three hours would be nice, right? Three hours? Yeah, that's 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:28.040 a lot. You're gonna run out of things by the 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.320 last part of the first hour. I would think, No 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:31.800 one want to see me in a medium shure, that's 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:33.920 gonna be terrible. Palli scripts some things for me to say, 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.040 nice things say about time. Can I make it up 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:40.640 like usual? Yeah? Yeah, but it could be just hey, Todd, 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.560 I enjoy your company and then I just move on. 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.120 That's a little weak though. No, no, it's gonna be 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:51.480 a compliment time. That's it. I'll take what I can get. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.760 I would love to see you in a I don't 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.720 think you would. Yeah, yeah, I think so. Look, it 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.960 looks like you're in a medium. Is actually I don't sunk. 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.520 I don't think it's the washer's fault. I don't think 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.800 what is it the cheese little fault, the pizza with 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.639 I don't know. So Patrick Mahomes will join us coming up. 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:19.120 Let's see anything else I need to mention here? Oh, 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.919 Jimmer Fredette is going to join us from China. Jimmer 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.639 scored seventy points in his last game. Yes to hi 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.000 and uh someone had sent us a tweet ten years ago. 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.240 Today he had a big game for byre Jimmer fred 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:34.640 scored forty three the tenth anniversary of that game against 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.679 San Diego State. That was Paulie's this day in sports History, 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:42.679 but we do this sport. You just took it. I 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.920 thought Toy is twenty minutes away from this dain in 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.440 sports history, and you know Jimmer is coming on like next, 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.119 and that it would be a nice way to tease. 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.399 You just mentioned his seventy point game. I'm adding the 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:53.160 fact that ten years ago today he had a forty 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.440 three point game. That wasn't trying to steal anything. This 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.600 is a prelude to why you should tune in for 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.080 Jimmer fredand Extra Special Day Paul He's not trying to 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.120 book Patrick Mahomes. That was not meanted. I didn't even 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:06.159 think of it as like that. I was stepping on 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:08.840 policy toes. Of course you didn't. That's just a little factoid. 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.520 That's fun. Okay, all right, So Jimmer, what time is 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.400 it in China? It's gonna be twelve twenty five at 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:18.440 night tomorrow morning, thirteen hours later in China when he 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:22.520 joined us in a few minutes. So he's up late 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.879 to join us after he's scoring seventy points. And what 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:27.560 Loves You with the Dead Patrick Show? I don't know 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.040 who else does interview the twelve thirty at night of 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.680 course overseas. Yeah. Point, every time we have Jimmer for 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:34.879 dot on, we do a five minute conversation before the 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:38.119 show is why is he in China scoring seventy and 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:42.440 not on the Well, let's say the Atlanta Hawks scoring fifteen. 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.040 I don't know. I never know this. I think that 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.199 today's NBA would be suited for him. You know, I 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.920 can't put a hand on you. You know, he can 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.720 shoot from deep. It seems like he would be a 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:01.520 weapon coming off the bench. I don't know. Oh, he's 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.439 the guy in China. He scored seven at Triple double. 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.480 But Monday night or Sunday night or I don't know 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.760 what day it was, but it was a couple of 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:12.560 days ago in China. It's like it was like Sunday 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:14.879 night at slash Monday morning. If you can follow the 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.320 yet no I can't at times.

He just turned thirty one and 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:33.640 he is playing for the Shanghai Sharks. He scored seventy 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.600 points in the game the former BYU Star. In fact, 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.920 it was ten years ago today, Jimmer, that you had 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:46.119 forty three points as BYU beat San Diego State. Kawhi 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:49.440 Leonard was playing for San Diego State at the time 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.840 he scored twenty two. Thanks for joining us. How are you. 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:56.359 I'm doing great, Dan, Thanks for having me on. I 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.159 appreciate it. And yes, those were those were great memories 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.119 ten years ago, that's for sure. What do you remember 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:06.400 about Kawhi Leonard back then? I mean, the thing about 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.399 Kawhi is, like, you know, he was only there for 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:11.120 two years, but you know I played him those two years, 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:13.639 and from his freshman year to his sophomore year, you 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:17.240 could tell he got substantially better, especially offensively. He was 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:22.000 always gifted, athletically, rebounded extremely well. You know, that was 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:23.439 one of the big things to try to keep him 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:25.600 off the glass. But he could just play defense. He 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.359 was he affected the game in so many different ways. 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.639 But then sophomore year he started shooting, you know a 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:34.080 little bit more from mid range and from the three 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:37.639
