Speaker 2: Twitter handle a DP show Good morning if you're watching
Speaker 2: on Peacock or NBC Sports Network, or are radio affiliates
Speaker 2: including iHeartRadio and Fox Sports Radio. Seat in the poll
Speaker 2: question results from hour one, what are we going to
Speaker 2: go with an hour two?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got up there right now. The tournament starts
Speaker 4: tonight or a Thursday. Your result eighty percent say the
Speaker 4: tournament starts on Thursday. That feels like that is the
Speaker 4: most correct answer.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah. I think that the NCAA tournament did
Speaker 2: itself a disservice by calling it the play in Games initially.
Speaker 2: Now it's the opening round, but it feels like the
Speaker 2: damage is done. We look at these teams as not
Speaker 2: worthy of the tournament. They have to play their way
Speaker 2: into the tournament. I don't like the designation. You're either
Speaker 2: in or you're not. You know, and you're part of
Speaker 2: the sixty eight team field. Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 5: One thing they did though, by this first four, it
Speaker 5: allows them to expand the tournament and keep sixty four
Speaker 5: in the bracket. So they'll expand the first four and
Speaker 5: it'll appear like it's the same tournament because it'll end
Speaker 5: up being sixty four one in sixteen seeds, and it'll
Speaker 5: allow them to expand without really offending people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're headed towards that, and I think
Speaker 2: we just bulk up the Tuesday and Wednesday night games
Speaker 2: and I think everybody will be okay with that. I mean,
Speaker 2: I would like for it to kind of top out.
Speaker 2: It's just like college football with the playoffs.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 2: We we were on with two forever and then we
Speaker 2: went to four and I thought, in my lifetime, I
Speaker 2: didn't know if we would see that. And once we
Speaker 2: went to four, and I said, once these guys realize
Speaker 2: how much money they're going to make, how much these
Speaker 2: conferences are going to make, how much money? You know,
Speaker 2: the TV partners are willing to spend. They're going to
Speaker 2: go They'll go to ten or twelve, they go to twelve.
Speaker 2: As soon as we get to twelve, oh we got
Speaker 2: to go to sixteen. Now they're talking about do we
Speaker 2: go to twenty four and like, slow down, slow down.
Speaker 2: But the problem is money is always at the bottom
Speaker 2: of every one of these decisions. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 7: The thing about the first four that always irritates me
Speaker 7: is that teams that win their conference championship should not
Speaker 7: be playing in the first four. Agree those should just
Speaker 7: be bubble teams, the teams that barely got in for
Speaker 7: the at large berths. You guys should be playing in Dayton,
Speaker 7: not Howard that won their conference championship game. They shouldn't
Speaker 7: have to play in Dayton on a Tuesday or Wednesday night.
Speaker 2: I agree with you. If you win your conference, I
Speaker 2: don't think you should be in the play in the
Speaker 2: opening round. Yeah, see, didn't.
Speaker 4: We just have a problem with that though with football,
Speaker 4: where people who won their conference got a better bid
Speaker 4: than people who are clearly better teams but didn't win
Speaker 4: their conference.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, And if.
Speaker 4: People were pissed about that or upset about that season,
Speaker 4: shouldn't say that way, No.
Speaker 2: You should, yeah, but they quickly rectify that it should
Speaker 2: be the best team as far as the ranking goes
Speaker 2: with the college football. With basketball, I just can't give
Speaker 2: Boise State or Arizona State a buy because I don't
Speaker 2: think they were better teams than these other teams. But yeah,
Speaker 2: they play in in the opening round. If you win
Speaker 2: your conference, you shouldn't have to do a play in, yes, Todd.
Speaker 8: And if you're the fourth teams in the playing game
Speaker 8: that just barely got into this whole tournament, shouldn't they
Speaker 8: all be sixteens. I know there's other reasons for that,
Speaker 8: but two or sixteen, two or eleven seeds, And I'm
Speaker 8: sure they have their reasons for competitive bowns or things
Speaker 8: that are above my pay grade, but seems like they
Speaker 8: should all be sixteen teams.
Speaker 9: Whoever comes out of those four.
Speaker 2: For the first time ever, every top four seed is
Speaker 2: a double digit favorite in the round of sixty four.
Speaker 2: The smallest spread is Alabama by eleven and a half
Speaker 2: against Hofstra. And as I mentioned to start the show,
Speaker 2: used to be the twelve to five. That's where you
Speaker 2: usually got at least one twelve over a five. Now
Speaker 2: it's the eleven seed that it feels like that history
Speaker 2: shows if you're looking for a surprise, in eleven over
Speaker 2: a six might be the way to go, all right,
Speaker 2: eight seven seven three DP show operator Tyler sitting by,
Speaker 2: and uh, it's not the official start of the tournament,
Speaker 2: but we're gonna treat it because Todd normally, you know,
Speaker 2: ends the tournament with one dining moment. It's a tribute
Speaker 2: to the food version of one shining moment. Todd did
Speaker 2: this a couple of years ago, and this was one
Speaker 2: of those one takes. You know, this is where people
Speaker 2: years and years from now will say I was there,
Speaker 2: he did it. It was just one take, and they'll
Speaker 2: be like, oh my god, only one take to sing
Speaker 2: this song. Yes, Tom, I think I was there.
Speaker 9: Pronounced that.
Speaker 2: Come on, you can sell it better than that.
Speaker 8: And I was there from that special moment. The Dan
Speaker 8: Patrick Show Studios where magic was created.
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show. Here
Speaker 2: you go. You didn't ask for it, yes, Paul.
Speaker 5: Before we get there, I did look up great rock
Speaker 5: songs that were done in one take. Twist and Shout
Speaker 5: by the Beatles one take. You'll like this one. The
Speaker 5: House of the Rising Sun by the Animals one take, Yeah,
Speaker 5: great song. Papa's Got a brand new Bag by James Brown,
Speaker 5: the one taker.
Speaker 2: Okay, and this it's the moment these sandwiches have always
Speaker 2: dreamed about. Eight sandwiches will enter and one will live
Speaker 2: on forever. Hello friends, and welcome to the Elite eight.
Speaker 10: The food is served neat saw Cobb.
Speaker 11: You're drooling with their tessipation because you're so starved.
Speaker 2: The shrip pulled sand jeeves.
Speaker 10: They don't see your taste, buds glow.
Speaker 12: All that hard work, Well now it shows in one
Speaker 12: dining momument.
Speaker 10: It's all tasty vine. One dining moment, stuff your face,
Speaker 10: but no wine.
Speaker 2: The chicken par rolls on or.
Speaker 10: The scales nod off?
Speaker 11: Yes, the pounds pack on, you sail, have just one
Speaker 11: more until the plates are gone.
Speaker 10: Now your jeans won't close. What's a man to do?
Speaker 10: Your storm mixed pool and your.
Speaker 12: Bowls aren't too That one dining moment, how did you
Speaker 12: get so wide?
Speaker 10: One dining moment? Be it grilled, baked, or fried?
Speaker 12: Yes, one dining moment, bone app of teeth. One dining moments.
Speaker 10: Feel that grill heats?
Speaker 2: Just another reason?
Speaker 10: Yeah that pod in your heart?
Speaker 11: Double chin on your face? In eight, way too fast?
Speaker 11: You load down your pace.
Speaker 12: You've satisfied your hunger, but pood on some weight. Well
Speaker 12: that's how it goes when you're in l eight.
Speaker 10: That one dining moment, no fox, moon or knife.
Speaker 12: One dining moment in time of your life. One dining
Speaker 12: moment from eight downs. One one dining moment. Can't you
Speaker 12: taste all the fun? That one shining moment? Who's got
Speaker 12: it better than us? Our one shining moment. Nobody does.
Speaker 9: It's mattering.
Speaker 2: You kept singing, there's no music left.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there was about seven verses too long, and then
Speaker 8: I went to shining moment at the end.
Speaker 9: I don't know why didn't stay with dining moment at
Speaker 9: the end.
Speaker 3: That was weird.
Speaker 4: And believe it or not, that was one take one,
Speaker 4: take one, take only one. Okay, which one is better?
Speaker 4: One dining moment or the Olivia Newton John tribute?
Speaker 2: Well, what do you mean better better?
Speaker 4: I mean I mean better better or better better better,
Speaker 4: whichever you want to say, better content.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna beloved. I'm gonna go Olivia Newton John because
Speaker 2: that was question data.
Speaker 10: Know your luck.
Speaker 8: It mixed good sports radio conversation.
Speaker 1: You gotta answer rich just right.
Speaker 12: You know what I mean.
Speaker 10: Don't google.
Speaker 12: Let's just try to think it out.
Speaker 10: Challenge yourself.
Speaker 12: Nothing to leave, make sure you know what you're talking about,
Speaker 12: or get embarrassed on radio and TV.
Speaker 10: Let's get quizical. Whuis ital I wanna get quis.
Speaker 2: Alrighty see, Olivia Newton John just passed away and Todd
Speaker 2: was paying tribute to her. Lucky for her, Yes, she
Speaker 2: didn't have to hear that listening back.
Speaker 9: That was much more disrespectful than honoring Oliviera.
Speaker 8: Oh I love and while I was performing that in
Speaker 8: writing again, I thought I had a nice, fun idea there.
Speaker 8: But listening to that makes me feel like I just
Speaker 8: did her some terrible postumous disservice.
Speaker 2: But you never ever listen when I say, but I
Speaker 2: will say to you, are you sure you want to
Speaker 2: do this? And you'll go yes. I'll go, okay, are
Speaker 2: you sure you want to do this?
Speaker 3: In my stupidity, I'm like, I'm all in.
Speaker 9: I already wrote it.
Speaker 8: We're gonna do what I'm going to the back and
Speaker 8: we're gonna record it too late now.
Speaker 4: Posthumous Disservice was an old New York hardcore band.
Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, ladies and gentlemen, Posthumous Disservice.
Speaker 4: I feel like they toured early days of Metallica, maybe
Speaker 4: Double Bill.
Speaker 2: They might have been with the Ramones. When you went
Speaker 2: on stage with Dary Rucker, I said, one song, Todd,
Speaker 2: one song, my hands in my pocket. I kept telling
Speaker 2: you one song, kept telling you one song, and you
Speaker 2: blew right through the stop song.
Speaker 8: But I heard at the end of singing the first song,
Speaker 8: we want They weren't saying that in my head.
Speaker 9: They were like, please one more. Now.
Speaker 2: They were saying, I call you all the time.
Speaker 13: I don't build the nature dance time secrets away.
Speaker 2: Right, all right, okay, I'm just so there's there's six
Speaker 2: thousand people in the audience. That is they paid to
Speaker 2: be They did a lot of money to be there.
Speaker 2: Oh they paid all right.
Speaker 8: They didn't sign up for that. They're like, dadis ruckers
Speaker 8: what I paid my ticket for?
Speaker 2: Oh? My goodness. Yes.
Speaker 7: Marvin and Darius. After Frizzy performed the first song, he
Speaker 7: looks over at you. You know, I always I know,
Speaker 7: I know he's going to do another song.
Speaker 2: Darius lost a bet Todd Todd got this in two songs.
Speaker 2: And I'm backstage with Todd and his wife, and I said, hey,
Speaker 2: one song, right, No, no, no, no, I think I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do too. I said, do one.
Speaker 9: I was so nervous. Yet why would I don't know
Speaker 9: understand why I would do a second son.
Speaker 8: I'm standing there with my hands in my pocket, I'm
Speaker 8: looking down at the screen to make sure I got
Speaker 8: the words right while I'm singing.
Speaker 9: Yet I wanted to do it a second time? Was weird?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paul, but if Todd had basic human awareness, none
Speaker 5: of this content would be here.
Speaker 2: That is true, right, that is that's that that is true.
Speaker 2: So I would rather have this, you know, the train
Speaker 2: wreck that it usually is. But uh, I will say,
Speaker 2: got up there with his hands in his pocket and
Speaker 2: just he sang as if he was Daryl Hall, you did.
Speaker 10: I took it very seriously, but that Paul putting that.
Speaker 2: Very well that way.
Speaker 8: But but I am in my own world, and I
Speaker 8: guess if that creates some contact being in my own
Speaker 8: world in denial about how things sound versus how I
Speaker 8: think I want them to sound, then that's all good.
Speaker 2: Michael and fort Wayne. Good morning, Michael. What's on your
Speaker 2: mind today?
Speaker 14: This whole segment dedicated to Todd bombing. I just wanted
Speaker 14: to talk about Jim Beheim. He was on your show
Speaker 14: last Friday. I used to think that his take on
Speaker 14: expanding the college tournament was crazy. Now I know it's crazy.
Speaker 14: That's got to be one of the worst takes heard.
Speaker 14: To open up the tournament and everybody wins, The coaches
Speaker 14: win because more coaches get in.
Speaker 2: Well, I know that that I had a problem with that.
Speaker 2: You want to expand it? To ninety six and thank you, Michael.
Speaker 2: We had bad connection there. But you know, these coaches,
Speaker 2: their jobs hinge on making the tournament or advancing in
Speaker 2: the tournament or getting incentives in their contracts. But at
Speaker 2: some point it's just too many. But if I'm TNT
Speaker 2: or whoever's you know, CBS, any of the true TV, like,
Speaker 2: I want content and if I get content, and you know,
Speaker 2: we'll pay extra money. And you, as a you know,
Speaker 2: a you were probably, hey, I'm fine with it, right,
Speaker 2: but I you know, I guess I go, let's draw
Speaker 2: a line and make sure we're getting the best teams in.
Speaker 2: And Jim Bayheim's argument was, Hey, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: really good teams that don't make it, but they should
Speaker 2: that yes, you're going to put in the automatic qualifiers,
Speaker 2: but you still some of these teams are in tough conferences,
Speaker 2: and uh, why not just expand you know the Tuesday
Speaker 2: and Wednesday? And I'm like, I get it, but I
Speaker 2: don't want ninety six teams in? Uh?
Speaker 6: Dan?
Speaker 2: And Indiana? Hi Dan, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 15: Dan? Uh? You know the guy that called in want
Speaker 15: to know what holiday is the best? Want to have
Speaker 15: your birthday on I say Valentine's Day. You know, I mean,
Speaker 15: if if you're not going to get any for Valentine's Day,
Speaker 15: you'll certainly get some for your birthday, so you may
Speaker 15: you can get it twice that day.
Speaker 2: Alrighty, he's talking about chocolate. I think he's talking about chocolate.
Speaker 2: Cameron in Indiana, I can.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 16: So, hey, guys, so I got a couple of things
Speaker 16: for you. So I know in the end of the
Speaker 16: NFL season you'll hear about a player that needs one
Speaker 16: catch for you know whatever it is, five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 15: Well, so they just got.
Speaker 16: Me thinking that the only way to fix the NBA
Speaker 16: and their load management issue is to have GM just
Speaker 16: operate solely on incentive based contracts. If I'm a GM,
Speaker 16: I'm not giving any any guaranteed money because that takes
Speaker 16: away the takes away the incentive the playing career money.
Speaker 2: So if you got paid by wins, you got paid
Speaker 2: by making an All Star team, All Defensive team.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paul, but ownership is going to task the GM
Speaker 5: with the tanking. The GM is not going to do
Speaker 5: it blind. If you're one of these teams like Utah,
Speaker 5: the owner goes to and says do whatever you can
Speaker 5: to get us a top five pick.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Mark Cuban said that a couple of years
Speaker 2: ago on the show cost him six hundred thousand dollars,
Speaker 2: but he said, hey, we were tanking and then its
Speaker 2: front off is tanking. Well, we'll talk some college basketball
Speaker 2: and uh, we'll talk about Prince as well. Carlos Boozer
Speaker 2: involved in both of those acc Network analyst, former dukie
Speaker 2: and of course his two sons playing for the Blue Devils.
Speaker 2: He'll join us coming up next. We're back after this

Speaker 2: Sports Book, Predictions, Daily Fantasy Sports. How often does the
Speaker 2: story about Prince renting your home come up?
Speaker 9: Dan?
Speaker 10: How you doing man?
Speaker 3: Good morning? It comes up. It comes up often for
Speaker 3: those that know the story. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The one thing that stands out because when you told
Speaker 2: us the story that you rented your house in LA
Speaker 2: to Prince and then you came back. How long did
Speaker 2: he rent that house for?
Speaker 3: He rented it for a year, Okay, he read it
Speaker 3: for a year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you come back after a year, you know.
Speaker 3: So he rented it for me for a year. I
Speaker 3: had tore my hamstring in Utah when I was playing
Speaker 3: for the Jazz came to LA to get physical therapy
Speaker 3: and I popped in on I called him a couple
Speaker 3: of times, hadn't heard from him, popped up at the
Speaker 3: house and this is my first big purchase. By the way,
Speaker 3: I'm a young twenty one year old guy bought this
Speaker 3: huge house in bel Air, trying to show off. You know,
Speaker 3: what do you go for it, and then rented out
Speaker 3: the Prince because I'm not going to be there for
Speaker 3: eight months, going to be in Utah anyway. And I
Speaker 3: get there and everything is purple. You know. My wife
Speaker 3: at the time had decorated the house beautifully, Italian rugs
Speaker 3: and all this fancy stuff that I have no idea
Speaker 3: what it is. And then I come in and he
Speaker 3: basically turned all the rugs purple and black. He had
Speaker 3: his picture everywhere in the house. One of the cool
Speaker 3: things that he did that my kids actually liked is
Speaker 3: he turned my weight room into like a nightclub. He
Speaker 3: had a DJ booth and like a disco ball. My
Speaker 3: kids can I thought that was kind of cool, but other
Speaker 3: than that, I was I was livid. But he ended
Speaker 3: up changing it all back before he moved out.
Speaker 2: He doesn't ask for any He's not saying if he
Speaker 2: can have permission to do any.
Speaker 3: Of this stuff. I mean, he was basically playing ninety
Speaker 3: five random months and he's prince, so you know, he
Speaker 3: gets he gets grace when he's prince. When most of
Speaker 3: the most of us was born to his music, and
Speaker 3: then he was on tour doing his three one two
Speaker 3: one album, so he was kind of hard to reach
Speaker 3: but did not ask for permission. But he did change
Speaker 3: it back and I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: But did he leave you anything? You got a memorabilia
Speaker 2: from Prince?
Speaker 3: I did get a sign photo that him and I
Speaker 3: took when he signed the Least agreement when we met.
Speaker 2: Oh no, you need a guitar or something like that.
Speaker 3: That's what I should have got, right, he.
Speaker 2: Read, absolutely, Well, thank you for sharing again, because it
Speaker 2: feels like whenever that story kind of surfaces once a
Speaker 2: year and like poor Carlos, he got to tell that
Speaker 2: story again and again and again. You were there with
Speaker 2: so Lebron's rookie year in Cleveland, that was your second year,
Speaker 2: So that that's the only year you played with Lebron,
Speaker 2: right correct?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay, we also shared some Olympics and All Star
Speaker 3: Games together.
Speaker 2: Okay. But he that he makes his debut in Sacramento,
Speaker 2: right yeah, yeah, yeah?
Speaker 3: What do you remember right against the Kings who were voted.
Speaker 2: What do you remember about that night? The hype around
Speaker 2: Lebron making his debut?
Speaker 3: That was nuts, man, Because I was there in Cleveland
Speaker 3: the year before we got Lebron and they weren't that
Speaker 3: excited to habits and said there was probably probably it
Speaker 3: seemed like there was three hundred Hammerman at the baseline
Speaker 3: if you go back to that film and watched the
Speaker 3: warm ups, like, we had a hard time warming up
Speaker 3: because that arena, the Arc Arena was kind of tight
Speaker 3: on the baselines, and so we had so much media
Speaker 3: trying to get every move that he made. Every one
Speaker 3: up dunk and he was doing tween the legs and
Speaker 3: all these wind meals and different things, and it was
Speaker 3: difficult just to warm up. But I'll tell you during
Speaker 3: the game, he was outstanding man. He played terrific. Obviously,
Speaker 3: we lost to a much better team, older veteran group
Speaker 3: with Chris Weber and Soyakovic and Vivak and those guys
Speaker 3: Mike Bibbie. They were loaded, but he put on the
Speaker 3: show man. He had a hell of a game for
Speaker 3: his first game in the NBA as a true eighteen
Speaker 3: year old, and obviously, you guys know the rest is history.
Speaker 3: Became one of the best players we've ever seen.
Speaker 2: But if I would have told you that night, that
Speaker 2: guy is still going to be playing and might be
Speaker 2: playing when your sons go into the NBA.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's no way I would have believed that.
Speaker 3: The fact that he's still playing and I retired in
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen and started my career before him is remarkable.
Speaker 3: Like his genes and his work ethic and how taste
Speaker 3: care of his body is a testament to his greatness.
Speaker 3: It's impressive that literally, if he decides to come back
Speaker 3: next year, he'll be playing with one of my sons.
Speaker 3: That's incredible.
Speaker 2: When did your sons get their first recruiting letters?
Speaker 3: I would say about eighth grade, seventh, eighth grade. They
Speaker 3: were like thirteen, twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old and started
Speaker 3: getting some some notoriety nationwide.
Speaker 2: And how did you and their mom deal with that
Speaker 2: getting recruited that early?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were excited. Obviously. You get excited when you
Speaker 3: you realize your kids following their passion and they're and
Speaker 3: they're getting recognized by some of the best coaches in
Speaker 3: the country. Very excited for the possibility of what their
Speaker 3: future might look like.
Speaker 2: But the recruiting of you as opposed to your sons.
Speaker 3: No, I stay out of it. I told I told
Speaker 3: the boys, and I told their mom I was like,
Speaker 3: I don't want colleges recruiting. Dad. I'm not going to
Speaker 3: be the one that's going to be there at six
Speaker 3: am for workouts. I'm not going to be there at
Speaker 3: two in the morning and get ready for you know,
Speaker 3: crashing for an exam. They have to recruit the boys,
Speaker 3: and the boys have to make that decision for themselves
Speaker 3: to see if they want to go to that school,
Speaker 3: if they like that coach, they like the team, and
Speaker 3: how they make their makeup is do they have a
Speaker 3: chance to win a championship, all those kind of things.
Speaker 3: So I didn't go to any of the recruiting visits.
Speaker 3: I just I got all the notes from from from
Speaker 3: the boys when they got back, got the notes from
Speaker 3: Mom when they got back, and literally let the boys
Speaker 3: make their own decision. And they also, you know, to
Speaker 3: be quite frank, they could have chose a path of
Speaker 3: going their individual ways if they wanted to, you know,
Speaker 3: if it was best for Kaden to go somewhere else,
Speaker 3: if it was best for Can to go to a
Speaker 3: different place, we would have welcomed that as well. But
Speaker 3: they made the choice together to stay together because it
Speaker 3: was going to be the last time that they got
Speaker 3: to choose to play together. Obviously the NBA, you never
Speaker 3: know what's going to happen down the road. You know,
Speaker 3: God willing they get to play together in the NBA,
Speaker 3: but you know, thinking that this year could be the
Speaker 3: last year that they actually play together, or something that
Speaker 3: we all had in mind.
Speaker 2: When did Cameron get better than you?
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I would probably say right around
Speaker 3: like sixteen seventeen. I stopped playing playing the kids one
Speaker 3: on one. I wanted to retire undefeated. I got that
Speaker 3: goal in mind. But you know, as a dad, think
Speaker 3: about this though. As a dad, your dad is the
Speaker 3: only person that wants their sons to be better than them.
Speaker 3: Every other man wants to be better than the next man.
Speaker 3: So I'm proud of my kids for being better than
Speaker 3: me and having more skills and being able to do
Speaker 3: more with that basketball than I could.
Speaker 2: He's Carlos Boozer, ACC Network basketball analyst joining us on
Speaker 2: behalf of DraftKings. How are you as an analyst with
Speaker 2: the ACC Games? How are you as an analyst with
Speaker 2: Duke Games?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Very different. It's It's difficult for me because I'm
Speaker 3: such a dad and I'm obviously always coaching and trying
Speaker 3: to figure out ways to get my kids better and
Speaker 3: get them prepared for what lies ahead. So but you know,
Speaker 3: as an analyst you try to be you know, unbiased,
Speaker 3: and come on, man, you know I got Duke blood
Speaker 3: running through my body. I'm rooting for Duke like crazy.
Speaker 3: This is my this is my most exciting time of
Speaker 3: the year. Also, want to tell the listeners out there,
Speaker 3: go to Draft Kings. They're putting together their super apps.
Speaker 3: You can go to one location and have all your
Speaker 3: fun there and be responsible out there. Don't go crazy,
Speaker 3: but enjoy responsible with DraftKings. For me, I would say
Speaker 3: it's harder being a dad watching than being a player
Speaker 3: because you have all this anxiety. You want to get
Speaker 3: out there and jump in and play with your kids
Speaker 3: and have them do what you see from the sideline.
Speaker 3: As a player, you actually get to go get a
Speaker 3: rebound and go shut the screen and go make a basket.
Speaker 3: But I'm proud of my kids no matter what though.
Speaker 2: What was your favorite Mike Skryzhevsky story.
Speaker 3: Man, There's so many. I mean, I remember we lost
Speaker 3: the game and he felt like we didn't attack that game,
Speaker 3: that we were too passive and on our heels and
Speaker 3: we had a game coming up. In the next game,
Speaker 3: we go in the locker room and there's a white
Speaker 3: piece of paper that's covered the locker room, all over
Speaker 3: the place, white pieces of paper everywhere. We can't even
Speaker 3: sit down at our lockers. On the paper, in small
Speaker 3: black letters is the word attack. And then they have
Speaker 3: we have a big you know TV in the room.
Speaker 3: They're playing that Braveheart scene. I think it's Mel Gibson.
Speaker 3: It's like riding on the horse and he's getting the
Speaker 3: guys ready to go into battle. And then Coach K
Speaker 3: comes somersaulting in and is like less attack, like screaming
Speaker 3: it like that, now, mind you, let me set the stage.
Speaker 3: This is Coach K. He's won championships, he's been Coach
Speaker 3: of the Year, he's one of the most decorated coaches
Speaker 3: of all time. He's got two hip replacement surgeries, and
Speaker 3: he treated every day like he had something to prove.
Speaker 3: So our group, I'm seventeen, eighteen years old, I'm a teenager,
Speaker 3: and seeing the legend that he is do that for
Speaker 3: us to get us motivated, was like, Man, if we
Speaker 3: don't attack this game, then what the hell are we doing?
Speaker 18: You know?
Speaker 9: What I mean.
Speaker 2: Coach K did a summersault in the locker room.
Speaker 3: Summer summer assault with two hip replacements. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Is there a video of this?
Speaker 3: I don't Maybe, I don't know. I didn't have a
Speaker 3: big you know, I was, I was in the moment,
Speaker 3: but maybe, Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I remember when I went to a game. Latner and
Speaker 2: Hurley were there, and I went to a game and
Speaker 2: then somebody said, hey, if you get a chance, go
Speaker 2: to practice because you're going to change your opinion of
Speaker 2: Coach K. And I go, what do you mean? I go,
Speaker 2: if you see him in practice and he is a
Speaker 2: different like he was, I don't want to say maniacal,
Speaker 2: but man was he on fire and he demanded he
Speaker 2: demanded greatness. And it was one of those where you go, Wow,
Speaker 2: they they're they're not lying like he is. And he's
Speaker 2: going after Latner, he's going after Hurley. He didn't it
Speaker 2: didn't matter. He's gonna He's gonna take you to task there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Coach K. One of the one of
Speaker 3: his brilliant abilities is to be able to get the
Speaker 3: most out of his players, right, Like he's able to
Speaker 3: get guys like I was from Junero, Alaska. Shane Battier's
Speaker 3: from the Michigan Jay Willis from Jersey, down Abuse from Oregon.
Speaker 3: You know, just just talk about us for all of
Speaker 3: us are the player of the year in our state
Speaker 3: or Gatorway player of the Year. Where McDonald's all Americans.
Speaker 3: He's able to bring us together and strip us of
Speaker 3: our individual ego to build us up to have one
Speaker 3: collective ego where we need the guy next to us.
Speaker 3: And that's a rare talent to have, especially going from
Speaker 3: an era where there's guys that are staying in college
Speaker 3: for three or four years like lat Nor Grant and
Speaker 3: like we did, and then moving into the one and
Speaker 3: done era that happened for so long and still having
Speaker 3: the success that he had. It's an incredible ability. And
Speaker 3: it takes a guy who's had star players like he's
Speaker 3: coaching us the same way he coached that group and
Speaker 3: they went back to back championships and went to four
Speaker 3: final fours, and he's coaching every player that's come through.
Speaker 3: Duke has left a better player after playing for coach guy.
Speaker 2: You grew up on a military base in Alaska.
Speaker 3: My dad was in the military.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, what do you think of the cold weather.
Speaker 3: I'm used to it. I loved you know, man, I
Speaker 3: open my eye. It's a different way of life. I snowboard,
Speaker 3: I go fishing, I go camping and hiking.
Speaker 2: And but what about finding competition in Juno, Alaska.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean early on it was a lot of
Speaker 3: competition when I was young, but as I got older
Speaker 3: it was tough. And so travel ball, you know, playing
Speaker 3: on the on the circuit, you know, down and down
Speaker 3: in California and New York and you know, says for
Speaker 3: they had more competition for me. Ended up being the
Speaker 3: right route for me. I played for Ebo Darren matzaboras
Speaker 3: travel team and I got a chance to play guess
Speaker 3: the best player in the country.
Speaker 2: Well, good luck with the ACC network and of course
Speaker 2: joining us on behalf of DraftKings, one of the most
Speaker 2: exciting places to experience March madness. You get the Draft
Speaker 2: Kings sportsbook. A proud sponsor of this program, Predictions Daily
Speaker 2: Fantasy Sports. Thanks again, Carlos, we appreciate it. Great to
Speaker 2: see you.
Speaker 3: Appreciate you Dan, great to see you too.
Speaker 2: That's Carlos Boozer having to retell the Prince's story again.
Speaker 2: It's just such a great story.
Speaker 5: You got to meet Prince signing the lease.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but you rented to Prince and what is
Speaker 2: he twenty one years of age buys this mansion he's living,
Speaker 2: he's in Utah playing for the jazz. You're just checking
Speaker 2: in periodically and Prince isn't calling you back. The next
Speaker 2: thing you know, you're like, what'd you do to the house?
Speaker 2: It's all purple guest huh.
Speaker 8: And then on top of that story, he tells us
Speaker 8: a story where coach Kate does a summersaude.
Speaker 2: I ever heard that story to hip Price Paul like
Speaker 2: we gotta find out on it. Yeah, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 7: And I love the fact that he bought this big
Speaker 7: mansion in bel Air. He was a second round draft pick,
Speaker 7: so the Utah money was his first real money that
Speaker 7: he saw, Like, you know what, I'm gonna spend all
Speaker 7: this money ninety five thousand dollars a month to rent
Speaker 7: that house out.
Speaker 3: Well, that Prince did.
Speaker 2: But then Prince would have been the fresh Prince of
Speaker 2: bel Air.
Speaker 10: All right, nice, like you go on, you got it.
Speaker 2: Took a couple of seconds.
Speaker 9: Nice, Okay, I was on delay there for a second.
Speaker 4: Yes, see Carlos Boozer underappreciated storyteller. Yes, see, every time
Speaker 4: he comes on, he's got a million stories with incredible detail.
Speaker 2: Great storyteller. Imagine that they've got all of these pieces
Speaker 2: of paper all over the floor. They're playing Braveheart, and
Speaker 2: then Coach K does his summersault.
Speaker 5: Yes, I can find no other record of this story
Speaker 5: except for Carlos Boozer telling it here, and I think
Speaker 5: he told it on a podcast. But I can't find
Speaker 5: any other former Duke player or Showski talking about the summersault.
Speaker 2: Todd, would you reach out to Duke just maybe the
Speaker 2: sports information director or Coach K. Maybe Coach K just
Speaker 2: tell him we want him to come on and just
Speaker 2: tell the Summerson story. That'll be it. We don't need
Speaker 2: to talk about anything else. By the way, just got
Speaker 2: this sent to our Twitter account. I would like to
Speaker 2: thank Fritzie. My dad has been paralyzed for ten years.
Speaker 2: But when Todd started singing one dining moment, he got
Speaker 2: up and walked across the room and shut off the radio.

Speaker 2: Duke is your favorite slight favored against Michigan in second place,
Speaker 2: followed by my Arizona Wildcats, then Florida, so the top four.
Speaker 2: It's certainly top heavy with those four schools. Houston is
Speaker 2: plus thirteen hundred. They were plus one thousand yesterday, Iowa
Speaker 2: State plus eighteen hundred. They were plus fifteen hundred yesterday.
Speaker 2: What's going on here? Illinois plus twenty two hundred. They
Speaker 2: were plus nineteen hundred yesterday, Yukon plus three thousand, they
Speaker 2: were plus twenty five hundred yesterday. It's a top heavy
Speaker 2: final or I shouldn't say final four, but it looks
Speaker 2: like that with Duke Michigan, Arizona in Florida, Fritzy, it's
Speaker 2: like you're going to have three number ones making it
Speaker 2: to the final four and a number two.
Speaker 8: Seed definitely looking looking like he's going in that bullepark. Okay,
Speaker 8: I've been very successful with the three ones in the two.
Speaker 2: All Right, you'll I'm not going to guess how you're
Speaker 2: going to fill this out, but I have an idea
Speaker 2: how you're going to fill this out. So anybody filled
Speaker 2: out their brackets yet, Todd has I have? Okay, you
Speaker 2: want to give me your final four, my finale, Well,
Speaker 2: let me see if I can guess Duke Michigan Florida, Connecticut.
Speaker 9: You got two of them, right, we could play like
Speaker 9: prices right.
Speaker 2: No, No, that's true. No, just tell me.
Speaker 8: I've got Duke in Houston, I've got Purdue in Michigan
Speaker 8: and Duke beating Michigan.
Speaker 9: I scored up eighty four to seventy nine.
Speaker 2: Oh so you don't have three numbers.
Speaker 9: Mix up a little bit.
Speaker 8: Duke Houston perdue Michigan, and according to that graphic, we
Speaker 8: put up purduees like in the eighth spot.

Speaker 2: And you can join us our Celebrity Bracket Challenge. You

Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
Speaker 19: Good morning DP. Always a pleasure to speak with y'all.
Speaker 19: Last week when you were talking about Will Chamberlain, I
Speaker 19: had a few things I was curious about with him
Speaker 19: boasting over twenty thousand women in his life, isn't he
Speaker 19: the true scoring leader? And wouldn't he also be the
Speaker 19: originator of load management?
Speaker 2: Thank you, Trip. Let's see Curtis in Indiana. Hi, Curtis,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
Speaker 18: Good morning Dan? Thanks for taking my call. Hey, I
Speaker 18: have an idea to improve the NCAA tournament. There's thirty
Speaker 18: one Division one automatic conference seats, and my idea is
Speaker 18: relegation where you would take the bottom sixteen based on
Speaker 18: their RPI rankings and they would have to play each
Speaker 18: other off. And that would allow the NCAA to have
Speaker 18: eight more games and also allow eight more at large
Speaker 18: teams to get into the tournament to still keep it
Speaker 18: at the perfect number.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what the perfect number is. I
Speaker 2: thought we had the perfect number a couple of times
Speaker 2: prior to finding a new perfect number. I don't know
Speaker 2: what that perfect number is, but I do think they're
Speaker 2: going to beef up the Tuesday and Wednesday games. Nobody's
Speaker 2: going to be bothered by that, and then we'll start
Speaker 2: the tournament on Thursday. Jeff and Tampa. I, Jeff, what's
Speaker 2: on your mind?
Speaker 3: Hey, dere, good morning.
Speaker 20: I'm just calling you know, because the WBC has blown
Speaker 20: me away, paid zero attentions.
Speaker 6: He has EAA tournament so far. It's definitely become the premier.
Speaker 6: You know, every couple of year events to me.
Speaker 20: But I was just trying to take the ways if
Speaker 20: you can help me out of how they can take
Speaker 20: it to the next level, like attend to how the
Speaker 20: ninety two Dream Team very globalized basketball, because right now
Speaker 20: you're not like the Italian team. I know in real
Speaker 20: time the other one's seems no real people from the Netherlands.
Speaker 20: So maybe any idea, the only one I could pick
Speaker 20: up was maybe to have it on those key in
Speaker 20: those countries because having it their lives might inspire the population.
Speaker 20: And uh mean, rumor has it that letting the ninety
Speaker 20: two Dream Team loose on the Night Lives in Barcelona
Speaker 20: creatly approved gepool there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thank you, John. I don't know if you
Speaker 2: can make it much bigger because it's spring training. I
Speaker 2: do think that there was a sense of there was
Speaker 2: tension with it, like there was anticipation, there was excitement,
Speaker 2: there was passion, and certain players playing for their country,
Speaker 2: it will just bring out the best in them. It'll
Speaker 2: bring out passion. And we'll talk to John Smoltz about this.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can make it that Olympic
Speaker 2: feel a World Cup feel, but you got to get
Speaker 2: everybody who's willing to play. But I think what they've
Speaker 2: done they got a lot of eyeballs on this and
Speaker 2: I think it's it's been very exciting. I mean, you
Speaker 2: would obviously love to have show Hay against the United States.
Speaker 2: You'd love to have that. But I think it's been
Speaker 2: pretty exciting. Uh. Joe in Connecticut, Hi, Joe, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind?
Speaker 6: Hey Dan, I don't have you Saint Patrick's Day five pounds.
Speaker 6: I just like to weigh in on the poll question.
