Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Congrats to Joe Lnbid. If there was any doubt,
Speaker 1: there's no longer any doubt he's your MVP. After the
Speaker 1: performance last night he scored more than half his team's
Speaker 1: points in a win against the Boston Celtics. He put
Speaker 1: a fifty two stat of the day. Brought to you
Speaker 1: by Panini America, The official trading cards of this program
Speaker 1: will head to Augusta. Our good buddy Mike Terko will
Speaker 1: join us. The par three contest is today. I think
Speaker 1: the weather will be nice today, but after that it'll
Speaker 1: be a little sketchy in Augusta. The Super Mario Brothers Movie.
Speaker 1: Nintendo and Illumination presents The Super Mario Brothers Movie only
Speaker 1: in theaters on April fifth. Poll Question four hour two
Speaker 1: is going to be once eaton O'Connor. Well, our one
Speaker 1: didn't really work out all that well because people are
Speaker 1: very into PGA Tour. Okay, they've got it's now eighty
Speaker 1: three per cent of the vote saying that that somebody
Speaker 1: from the PGA Tour PGA Tour will be the Master's Champion. Okay,
Speaker 1: is that? Do you think people just believe in those
Speaker 1: golfers more or is that anti Live Tour Still it
Speaker 1: might be both, but it's also out of sight, out
Speaker 1: of mind, And then you forget there's some really good players.
Speaker 1: They spent a lot of money on those players. And
Speaker 1: if I'm running the Live Tour, if I'm Greg Norman,
Speaker 1: it's almost like your team is going out there to perform.
Speaker 1: They got their logos. You've seen the Live Tour hats
Speaker 1: and sweaters and jackets. Bill Mickelson had his on yesterday.
Speaker 1: It's I expect my team to go out there and
Speaker 1: perform well. And if somebody from the Live Tour wins,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a slap in the face
Speaker 1: to the PGA Tour. You spend hundreds of millions of
Speaker 1: dollars on these players, they should be good. It's like
Speaker 1: you're gonna spend money on a draft choice or a recruit.
Speaker 1: They better be good. This is what you did. You
Speaker 1: went out and got some marquee players there. But we'll
Speaker 1: talk to Mike Arko about this. Scotty Scheffler is the favorite.
Speaker 1: Then it's Rory john rom Tony Fenelle, Jordan Spieth. Those
Speaker 1: are the best odds. Dustin Johnson is not in there,
Speaker 1: Patrick Reid not in there, Deshambo, cam Smith. I thought
Speaker 1: I would definitely bet on cam Smith. He's always in
Speaker 1: the top five there and as long as he still
Speaker 1: has the mullet, I'm definitely betting on him. Ye whenever
Speaker 1: we used to say Tiger versus the field and we
Speaker 1: did that, keep this in mind. So Scottie Scheffler is
Speaker 1: the favorite this year at plus six fifty Tiger odds
Speaker 1: to win Augusta. This is from two thousand to two
Speaker 1: thousand and nine according to Action Network. Plus two hundred
Speaker 1: plus one fifty plus two hundred plus one fifty plus
Speaker 1: three fifty plus four hundred plus two hundred minus one
Speaker 1: twenty five plus one thirty plus two twenty every one
Speaker 1: of those better odds than Scotty Scheffler. He in oh one,
Speaker 1: He won in O two and one in two thousand
Speaker 1: and five. He also won in nineteen ninety seven and
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. And Tiger did talk about his health, and
Speaker 1: you know, he understands the mortality of what's going on
Speaker 1: with his career. It's not necessarily about playing, it's just
Speaker 1: being able to compete to go out there, and he
Speaker 1: doesn't know how much longer. He's going to be able
Speaker 1: to do that, and he talked about that yesterday. When
Speaker 1: you're playing this course, does it ever cross your mind
Speaker 1: this could be the last time, Yes, it has. I
Speaker 1: didn't know. I mean last year was didn't know if
Speaker 1: I was going to play again at that time. For
Speaker 1: some reason, everything kind of came together. I kind of
Speaker 1: pushed a little bit and I was able to make
Speaker 1: the cut, which is nice. He's an open book now.
Speaker 1: Fifteen years ago, Tiger wouldn't say anything to you. He
Speaker 1: wouldn't give you an update on anything. Now it feels
Speaker 1: like every time he sits down to talk to somebody,
Speaker 1: he's telling you about what he's going through, what he
Speaker 1: went through, what it's like just to try to walk.
Speaker 1: He nearly lost his leg. He thanks his team that
Speaker 1: always gets him ready to go when he's going to play.
Speaker 1: And he's only going to be playing in a handful
Speaker 1: of tournaments from now on, and that'll be the majors.
Speaker 1: Maybe you'll have his tournament, you know, the LA Open,
Speaker 1: you know, those are the things that will probably try
Speaker 1: to compete in. But that's that's about it. And I
Speaker 1: think at age forty seven, that's a sixty seven year
Speaker 1: old body trapped into forty seven year old man, and
Speaker 1: everything that he's gone through, like when you look at
Speaker 1: if somebody went through one of these things. You know,
Speaker 1: a very very public divorce, car crash, the women who
Speaker 1: were involved in his life, just that, and then you
Speaker 1: had where he's pulled over. He doesn't even know where
Speaker 1: he is, you know, clearly medicated, self medicated. And then
Speaker 1: you have the car accident where he nearly died and
Speaker 1: then nearly lost his leg and now to be able
Speaker 1: to come back and play. It's remarkable to go through
Speaker 1: one of those. But Tiger out there playing and the
Speaker 1: off part is not the issue. It's walking and Augusta
Speaker 1: is a lot it's a lot hillier than what you think,
Speaker 1: and it's a tougher walk than you think. And I
Speaker 1: think that'll that's where it'll wear down on Tiger. He
Speaker 1: might come out and play great, you know Thursday and Friday. Also,
Speaker 1: if you have a delay where he has to start
Speaker 1: and then stop and then start, that'll affect him greatly
Speaker 1: as well. But he's there, and obviously the odds of
Speaker 1: him winning are extremely long right now. Nine thousand plus
Speaker 1: nine thousand, top ten finished plus six hundred to make
Speaker 1: the cut minus one sixty five, So hopefully Tiger's there
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Yes, Paul, how wild is it that
Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty three, He's still, if not the lead story,
Speaker 1: one of the lead stories. I'm watching the different shows
Speaker 1: today and his presence there, it's still like the threat
Speaker 1: of him is still around. Well, I think we are
Speaker 1: hoping for the threat. I don't know if it's legitimate,
Speaker 1: but stand the tour right now, Scottie Scheffler is the
Speaker 1: number one player but doesn't have a dynamic personality. Rory
Speaker 1: Rory's still interesting. Jordan Spief people still love him. But
Speaker 1: after that, okay, justin Thomas John Ram maybe, but nobody
Speaker 1: does anything where you go, oh my god. And that's
Speaker 1: what Tiger always gave you, the oh my god. Or
Speaker 1: you might have a moment like that. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: great golf, because that's what Augusta is. Augusta. Augusta wants
Speaker 1: to have great golf. They want to have birdies and eagles,
Speaker 1: they want to have roars there, and that's that's one
Speaker 1: of the things you take away when you're on site
Speaker 1: is the sound that you have there where you could
Speaker 1: be on the second hole, and you could hear something
Speaker 1: on the sixteenth and it feels like it's just you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of you know, a hundred yards away. It
Speaker 1: feels that way. That's what they want. They want excitement,
Speaker 1: they want great golf there. But Tiger always gave us
Speaker 1: the I gotta watch because I'm going to see something
Speaker 1: I've never seen before. That's not the case, but he
Speaker 1: might give you a couple of those memories. And that's
Speaker 1: what I always hoped for because there was a generation
Speaker 1: that never saw what we saw growing up, where he
Speaker 1: had a ten year run where it was Tiger versus
Speaker 1: the field in every tournament that he was in. And
Speaker 1: you would take Tiger and I thought, there's a generation
Speaker 1: that he went ten years he didn't win anything, and
Speaker 1: I kept thinking, I hope you get one opportunity to
Speaker 1: watch him win. And then he gave that to us
Speaker 1: at Augusta, where you were able to see, Okay, I
Speaker 1: get it. Because a lot of times you'll watch video,
Speaker 1: you might watch old video on YouTube, and you go,
Speaker 1: all right, the guy was okay, yeah, all right, not
Speaker 1: bad Tiger. You were you had to go back and
Speaker 1: watch a video of him. You weren't seeing anything and
Speaker 1: then when you saw it and then you realized just
Speaker 1: how incredible it was. Yes, when was the first time
Speaker 1: you heard of Tiger Woods? Did somebody say, eight, there's
Speaker 1: a kid out of Stanford that you got to see.
Speaker 1: I remember he was on the Mike Douglas Show and
Speaker 1: he might have been three years of age, and he
Speaker 1: was with his father and he was out there just
Speaker 1: hitting balls, and you know, it was like, I just remembered,
Speaker 1: I wonder what'll happen to that kid, you know, because
Speaker 1: you were saying, oh my god at that age, and
Speaker 1: he was just a little guy and he was out there.
Speaker 1: It was the end, like ninth end of the seventy nineteen,
Speaker 1: seventy eight, seventy nine, and I just thought, I wonder
Speaker 1: what'll happen to him? And then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: I watched I think there was a I think the
Speaker 1: amateur was in Portland, Oregon might have been, and I
Speaker 1: remember watching him. I remember one time he had a
Speaker 1: straw hat on and maybe he had shorts on, and
Speaker 1: he was really thin. I remember him teeing off at
Speaker 1: Riviera when he was like sixteen, So I got I've
Speaker 1: been around his entire career, probably from start to finish,
Speaker 1: but you're you're seeing things and then you're going, Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, is he going to be able to compete
Speaker 1: with these guys? And then all of a sudden, yes,
Speaker 1: he can compete with these guys. And he gave us
Speaker 1: the Hello World, and all of a sudden you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: it's here. And then once it got here, nobody could
Speaker 1: stop it. It was a tsunami. It was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, and everybody was trying to figure out how
Speaker 1: do I get distance like he does? And to intimidate
Speaker 1: on a golf course when when I don't get to
Speaker 1: guard you and it's I'm going to watch me hit
Speaker 1: this and you just can't do anything about it. Like
Speaker 1: he would just take away Ernie Else's confidence. You'd see
Speaker 1: it Ernie was second best player, and he'd be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, or Nicholson, these veterans, Hall of famers,
Speaker 1: and I'd be like Tiger, just like he was in
Speaker 1: the hov lane and you were in the right lane,
Speaker 1: the far right lane, and the crowd was seeing something,
Speaker 1: hearing something, he was demonstrative. It was just different. It
Speaker 1: was a different He changed golf in a variety of ways,
Speaker 1: and I think is the greatest golfer of all time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that Tiger straw hat thing. That's September of ninety four,
Speaker 1: his first US Amateur victory. He's got a straw hat on.
Speaker 1: He's probably one hundred and sixty pounds, not six foot tall.
Speaker 1: He's on the cover of Sports Illustrated, the next week
Speaker 1: cover of Golf World, and that was the first national
Speaker 1: unveiling as an semi adult. Yeah, and I've had limited
Speaker 1: access to him. You know, I don't really know him.
Speaker 1: I know people who know him, but you know, they're
Speaker 1: guarding their investment. And he wasn't a very good interview.
Speaker 1: Now he is because I think he's older and he
Speaker 1: understands his place in the game and being reflective and
Speaker 1: appreciating all these memories, because when you're in it, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you savor it. That's why I always
Speaker 1: go back to when Jordan won an NBA title and
Speaker 1: he was holding onto that trophy on the floor, and
Speaker 1: I remember, you know, I didn't get to see that,
Speaker 1: but I was told that because I was there for
Speaker 1: ESPN and he was holding it and he didn't want
Speaker 1: to let it go, and he understood in the moment
Speaker 1: of how important it was. Because a lot of players
Speaker 1: don't realize that until after the fact, where they go, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what, I should have celebrated a little bit more.
Speaker 1: And I always wondered, if you know, Tiger became this
Speaker 1: money machine, he was an ATM and it was just like,
Speaker 1: all right, you won that. Now what are you doing now? Now?
Speaker 1: What are you doing now? Now? What are you doing now?
Speaker 1: I think he gets the opportunity to reflect on this,
Speaker 1: and I think we benefit because he is finally sharing
Speaker 1: some things because he was always guarded always. But I
Speaker 1: think he grew up that way that his father, mother
Speaker 1: and father guarded him from reality. All right, I'll step
Speaker 1: down off my soapbox here, Michael in La. Hi, Mike,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 1: I have two things for you. First, I have a
Speaker 1: T shirt idea. It could stay the Dan Patrick's show
Speaker 1: Tamper Free Radio dot dot dot for the most part.
Speaker 1: And then you could have a list of every person
Speaker 1: that's been fined as a result of being interviewed on
Speaker 1: your show. All right, all right, if once you get
Speaker 1: Mike Tariko on, if you could just ask him this
Speaker 1: hypothetical for me, what would he think would happen if
Speaker 1: they added a timer to golf. How does he think
Speaker 1: that would play out? Well, they do put you on
Speaker 1: the clock. They do put players on the clock. So
Speaker 1: it's not something that I don't think. If you're going
Speaker 1: slower in the you know, the the distance between you
Speaker 1: and the next group, and it gets to be too much,
Speaker 1: then they get you. They put you on the clock. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know how stringent they enforce that, but they
Speaker 1: will say such and such as on the clock. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like baseball. It's an it's a rule
Speaker 1: and it's written. I've got to hear, but there is
Speaker 1: no specific enforcement. If you had a clock where if
Speaker 1: you if you broke the rule, you lost a stroke, Yeah,
Speaker 1: then you'd have something. Yeah. I don't even know how
Speaker 1: they enforce it, other than to say you're on the clock.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go. Brent in Alabama, Hey Brent, what's
Speaker 1: on your mind today? Hey, everybody loves the show. Thanks
Speaker 1: for the wonderful lead in. I can't believe this isn't
Speaker 1: getting talked about more. But baseball has done golf a
Speaker 1: huge favor with the success of speeding up the game,
Speaker 1: which I think will just continue to we'll hear comments
Speaker 1: about how the positive impact it's going to have for
Speaker 1: fans and everybody. Golf carts are coming to the PGA Tour.
Speaker 1: I think it's a no brainer. They couldn't change it
Speaker 1: just for an individual player, even somebody as important and
Speaker 1: critical as Tiger Woods. First of all, Tiger wouldn't want
Speaker 1: them to change the golf cart rule for him. But now,
Speaker 1: and you know, but now, he never said he's against carts.
Speaker 1: He just said he would never want to be the exception.
Speaker 1: But with the comments he's making, if the PGA Tour
Speaker 1: changes and allows golf carts, they are going to get
Speaker 1: minimum five more years of Tiger, probably ten more years
Speaker 1: of Tiger. And think about how much money that is worth.
Speaker 1: It's a win win. They get tons of money, they
Speaker 1: get more fans, more viewers, and I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: it's it's what I think everybody wants, just like for years,
Speaker 1: all of us baseball fans I've got, I've got five
Speaker 1: daughters under twelve, and I have not thought twice about
Speaker 1: going to Atlanta Braves game the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: With five daughters. You know, I don't want to sit
Speaker 1: there for four hours, much less the hour or two
Speaker 1: before and after, Well, why don't you get out of
Speaker 1: the house. Give your wife a break. If you've got
Speaker 1: five daughters under the age of twelve, she'd probably like
Speaker 1: for you to get out of the house there, brents.
Speaker 1: Oh man, my kids need all the time with their
Speaker 1: wife that they can get, you know, they're much better
Speaker 1: off around her. But I do try to chip in
Speaker 1: as much as I can. All right, Well, thank you, Brent.
Speaker 1: I was just joking there, Brent. And do you know
Speaker 1: what saying I try to chip in is not the move? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you are well past the point of trying to chip in,
Speaker 1: my dude. There's certain code words that you're never You're
Speaker 1: never babysitting your own child. You know, you don't don't
Speaker 1: ever say that. Yeah, chipping in around the house, yes, bo.
Speaker 1: When I'm sitting in another room watching a game and
Speaker 1: I yell you need any help, that's what gets me
Speaker 1: in trouble and I'm sitting almost motionless. Yeah. Uh. Brian
Speaker 1: and Philly, Ryan, welcome to the program. What do you
Speaker 1: have for me? ADP? First time, long time five ten
Speaker 1: A soft one nine. Uh. So I want to tell
Speaker 1: you that I appreciate the show our family has taken
Speaker 1: over the best and worst of the weekend. Every day
Speaker 1: at the dinner table, we do a best and worst
Speaker 1: than day. And I have a question for you. I
Speaker 1: was lucky enough to win tickets to the first round
Speaker 1: tomorrow the Masters. I'm also lucky enough to own one
Speaker 1: of the original seasoned Desist T shirts. Problem or that
Speaker 1: mimics the font for the golf I don't know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about, Ryan, I'm just serious. If I wear
Speaker 1: the T shirt to the tournament, do I get a
Speaker 1: season assist letter? I can't encourage or support. I can
Speaker 1: offer any comments on that knowingly wearing contraband. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what shirt you're talking about, Ryan, And
Speaker 1: I hope you have a great trip. And if you
Speaker 1: happen to have somebody take a picture of you and
Speaker 1: you'd like to send to us, that would be great.
Speaker 1: But don't nark me out here against the Masters about
Speaker 1: thank you? Ryan. Do we have the uh Connecticut T
Speaker 1: shirts up there seating yet? Are they gonna be Oh
Speaker 1: they are? Oh yeah, yeah they're up there. Oh absolutely,
Speaker 1: they're up there yesterday. Okay, Dan Patrick dot com, Well
Speaker 1: cut the net, Yeah, can't cut the net? Can cut
Speaker 1: the net. Can cut the net. Todds would be can't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but for Connecticut, they they can cut the net down,
Speaker 1: can cut thet I'm proud of that T shirt. Can
Speaker 1: cut the net. That's pretty that's pretty sharp, very creative.

Speaker 1: eleven a m. Eastern tomorrow. The Azalea is spectacular. Then
Speaker 1: we I listened to you. I ask if they could
Speaker 1: make another batch of salted caramel. Also sent them an
Speaker 1: apple that's available as well, limited quantities, but tomorrow at
Speaker 1: eleven am Eastern and first come, first served. To take
Speaker 1: a break, Mike Tarico will join us coming up from Augusta.
Speaker 1: After this. Tregger grills Trigger ironwood grills. Oh, they've done
Speaker 1: it again. The latest innovation the trigger flat rock flattop grill.
Speaker 1: All right, it could have done a little better with
Speaker 1: the name there, but it's incredible. We got to see
Speaker 1: this at the Super Bowl. They went, you know, everything
Speaker 1: that went into creating and constructing the flat rock trigger.
Speaker 1: They left no stone unturned. Three separate cooking zones, which
Speaker 1: means you can cook a variety of foods at different temperatures,
Speaker 1: all at the same time, and it's the first gas
Speaker 1: powered grill in the Trigger lineup. Tregger wants to make
Speaker 1: sure you have the tools to stay in control of
Speaker 1: what's cooking. Unleash your full grilling potential. The Trigger flat

Speaker 1: weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live on
Speaker 1: the Peacock app. Don't look now, but here come the Lakers.
Speaker 1: Seven and one since March nineteen, and they needed everybody's
Speaker 1: help last night and overtime went against Utah. Big game
Speaker 1: against the Clippers coming up. You want to move into
Speaker 1: the sixth seed, then you get Sacramento to open up
Speaker 1: the playoffs. If you get into the five and the
Speaker 1: five and the four, now it's golden State and Phoenix.
Speaker 1: You want to steer clear of that, at least you
Speaker 1: hope you can. You know, it'd be great if the
Speaker 1: Lakers matched up they got Sacramento and then they got Memphis.
Speaker 1: That'd probably be ideal for them, or even Denver. But
Speaker 1: Denver is going to be the number one overall seed.
Speaker 1: Joe Ellenbid won the MVP last night, by the way,
Speaker 1: unofficially that put up fifty two against the Celtics. Alrighty,
Speaker 1: we head to Augusta Mike Treco Sunday Night Football play
Speaker 1: by play call and the Masters for Serious XCENT. Where
Speaker 1: are you right now, Mike? Right now, Dan, I am
Speaker 1: in one of the studios for Serious XM which is
Speaker 1: in the press building at Augustus, So I think we
Speaker 1: do the show from one studio down. By the way,
Speaker 1: is this the DP show now? Projecting that MBAT is
Speaker 1: one of the MVP. Is this like it's like Cornaky
Speaker 1: on election night? We can out project. All the precincts
Speaker 1: aren't in yet, Mike, but we're going to project right
Speaker 1: now that Joe LMBT is going to be the MVP.
Speaker 1: All right, give us an update on the weather. Great today, good,
Speaker 1: tomorrow bad. The rest of the week cool and windy,
Speaker 1: and as you know, Dan from your years being here,
Speaker 1: wind here is multiplied because it swirls and you have
Speaker 1: to be so precise to landing spots. So wind here
Speaker 1: is very tough and cool. Usually that brings in more
Speaker 1: players in the field, and it's not about overpowering the
Speaker 1: golf course or for the big hitters having a big advantage.
Speaker 1: It becomes everything's at three shop par five. So if
Speaker 1: it's playing like that, those are the years we've seen
Speaker 1: Zach Johnson, Mike we Are, among others wins. So it
Speaker 1: may bring more guys into the mix come the weekend.
Speaker 1: What do you read into Tiger's comments, which one's about
Speaker 1: the golf ball, about him, about about him, his future,
Speaker 1: his future. He's more of an open book than he's
Speaker 1: ever been, Mike, no doubt. Dan remarkably reflective. And Taylor's ours,
Speaker 1: who I'm working with on Serious XM date an interview
Speaker 1: with Tiger yesterday, and I was driving to the course
Speaker 1: this morning and heard it, and I was thinking the
Speaker 1: same thing that you just mentioned. Remarkably reflective, you know,
Speaker 1: and I guess when you have to really go through
Speaker 1: all these major surgeries, you nearly died. You're going through
Speaker 1: all these major surgeries and all of the rehab, none
Speaker 1: of which we really know the lengths that he's gone to.
Speaker 1: You have to do all that just to be able
Speaker 1: to play again. But many people think you couldn't play again,
Speaker 1: let alone all the back stuff. At some point, no
Speaker 1: matter how invincible you seem to be, it has to
Speaker 1: make you a realist. So I think he is very reflective,
Speaker 1: understanding that it takes a lot to play here and
Speaker 1: if he's got one or two more or three more,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, to savor and appreciate it. And it
Speaker 1: does make all of us, I think, feel old when
Speaker 1: we stop and say this is Tiger's twenty fifth Masters,
Speaker 1: because you know, it feels like not too long ago
Speaker 1: when we watched the early ones and then ninety seven. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was there for his first one. Wow, it's crazy,
Speaker 1: isn't it. I know? And it used to be Tiger
Speaker 1: versus the field mic and we take Tiger they a
Speaker 1: lot and more often than not be right. His winning
Speaker 1: percentage is still extraordinary. His winning percentage in the majors
Speaker 1: is out of this world. You just reflect on his
Speaker 1: career and the career of Jack Nicholas and I saw
Speaker 1: them standing next to each other. Jack seated Tiger standing
Speaker 1: in the picture that came out from the Champions diner
Speaker 1: last night, and it's just remarkable to see Tiger set
Speaker 1: that Nicholas standard as his goal and almost got all
Speaker 1: the way there. Didn't get all the way there with
Speaker 1: the six screen jackets and the eighteen professional majors, but
Speaker 1: got pretty far along that path. And it's remarked that's
Speaker 1: the one coolest thing I think about golf is that
Speaker 1: nick was played, He was inspired by Bobby Jones, had
Speaker 1: the chance to play with Hogan and then Palmer and
Speaker 1: Watson and Nickolas, and now they pass it on to Tiger,
Speaker 1: and Tiger's passing it on to the next generation. The
Speaker 1: connectivity of golf because the longevity of careers brings that
Speaker 1: history really to the surface, I think better than other
Speaker 1: sports help us understand tension level. If there is tension
Speaker 1: between live and the PGA Tour, how big of a
Speaker 1: component is that going to be with your coverage this week? Boy,
Speaker 1: I thought it would be more from just a feel
Speaker 1: for the week, and I think it's been diffused pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: I think the guy's got here and it feels different Now,
Speaker 1: maybe if the US Open or the PGA was first,
Speaker 1: it might be a little more knife's edge and it
Speaker 1: may be a little more tension. But I think nobody
Speaker 1: wants to be the guy who was at the Masters
Speaker 1: and made it about live versus the PGA Tour and
Speaker 1: not the Master's Tournament. It just doesn't feel like the
Speaker 1: place to do it. And it sounds like from the
Speaker 1: early reports from the Champions dinner last night that the
Speaker 1: guys mixed in pretty well and it wasn't an issue.
Speaker 1: There wasn't a kiddie table for the live guys and
Speaker 1: everybody else has to sit at another table. You know.
Speaker 1: It sounds like the six Masters champs who were there
Speaker 1: were part of the evening and it was there all
Speaker 1: in the name of honoring Scotti Schefler, which is pretty cool. Okay.
Speaker 1: Aside from Tiger versus Phil on Sunday in the final group,
Speaker 1: I want, I want you to be program director here,
Speaker 1: give me the ideal tosome on Sunday afternoon. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a bunch because there are a lot of good guys
Speaker 1: right now, Like I'd love to see Scottie Scheffler trying
Speaker 1: to repeat. Let'll see John Ram trying to win here
Speaker 1: because he's got everything to win here. You'd love the
Speaker 1: nostalgia of those guys, But I would take Rory versus
Speaker 1: Jordan Spieth. Rory going for the last leg of the
Speaker 1: career Grand Slam, the only one of the majors he
Speaker 1: hasn't won, against the guy in Spith who has that
Speaker 1: crossover magnetism that I think other guys don't. And you
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about, Dan, Like, there are people
Speaker 1: who don't love golf, but they'll see Speith and they'll
Speaker 1: stop and watch because they know there's an entire dramatic something.
Speaker 1: He's gonna break somebody's phone, hit it off with somebody,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be in a a possible place. He's gonna
Speaker 1: ship in and make three and just kind of have
Speaker 1: that aw shucks look about him. Right, There's something about
Speaker 1: George you want to watch him hit his next shot,
Speaker 1: and I think Rory's got that star quality along with
Speaker 1: everything he's done to try to keep the PGA Tour intact. Mind,
Speaker 1: you gotta have Rory versus Patrick Read on Sunday. You
Speaker 1: really do you want that? Now? That wh who's not
Speaker 1: gonna be rooting for Rory? Other than Patrick's friend. But
Speaker 1: nobody roots for Patrick Greed anyway, even his friends. I'm saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: but we need a villain there. You want to go
Speaker 1: that way, Yes you can't. How about this? How about
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson and Rory? Yeah? But you know what Dan like?
Speaker 1: Does anybody dislike Dustin Johnson? Does anybody dislike Cameron Smith?
Speaker 1: Most of the guys who are playing for Live or
Speaker 1: playing on the Live tour when they come back, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, when did he ever do to you? Right now?
Speaker 1: Patrick Reid has over a variety of the years, but
Speaker 1: I don't know, might get sued here if I say
Speaker 1: anything about Patrick over a variety of years, he has
Speaker 1: caused the ire of several for a variety of reasons.
Speaker 1: Always been very nice to me. But this is uh.
Speaker 1: This has been told at courts over the years. But
Speaker 1: other than that, there's no villain amongst that. There's a
Speaker 1: villain in general with Norman, with Mickelson and the idea
Speaker 1: of a live But by the way, look, competition has
Speaker 1: been great for America. Competition When when you were at
Speaker 1: CNN and we were at ESPN, you know, it was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what sports tonight do you know what. That makes everybody better.
Speaker 1: And I think the existence of Live has made the
Speaker 1: PGA Tour better personally, just personally where I sit. I
Speaker 1: had a hard time with the guys who helped their
Speaker 1: careers achieved where they got because of the PGA Tour
Speaker 1: then turning around and publicly saying I want the PGA
Speaker 1: Tour to be harmed or fail. That's the only place
Speaker 1: that I said, ah, you know what. To me as
Speaker 1: a golf fan, that's not cool. Other than that competition
Speaker 1: makes you better. I think the tour is better today
Speaker 1: than it was fifteen months ago because of the threat
Speaker 1: of f liv is Greg Norman there. I have not
Speaker 1: seen him. He certainly wasn't at the Champions dinner. He
Speaker 1: didn't win the tournament. I doubt he was invited to
Speaker 1: come otherwise. I don't think that the eighteen Live Tour
Speaker 1: members will be waiting around if one of the one
Speaker 1: of their brethren wins the title, Like if somebody shoots
Speaker 1: five seventy four missus the cut, I don't think they're
Speaker 1: gonna hang for the weekend to welcome him off the
Speaker 1: eighteenth Green. So well, that sounded good, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't see that happy I hope it does. It would
Speaker 1: be a theater, but I don't see that happy And
Speaker 1: Fritzie had a joke if you want to use it
Speaker 1: in your coverage on a serious exam that okay, he
Speaker 1: could see where you know, some of the live players
Speaker 1: don't show up on Sunday because they only play fifty four. Mike,
Speaker 1: that's good, that is ver good. Yeah, they will. We'll
Speaker 1: have guys finishing the Masters on seven, like you have
Speaker 1: to live to her. There will not be a concert
Speaker 1: right after that will not be Look, it's different, it's um.
Speaker 1: It's a challenge to the system like every other Look,
Speaker 1: think of the think of the ABA and the three
Speaker 1: point shot. Right, the NBA thought that was ridiculous. That
Speaker 1: half court shot that Jerry West hit in the in
Speaker 1: the finals was a two pointer to send the game
Speaker 1: to overtime. Right, it would have been a three to
Speaker 1: win it back if it was more recent. The ABA's
Speaker 1: ability to do that changed the game and impacted the
Speaker 1: game forever. So there there elements of stuff that can work.
Speaker 1: It's just what are you're playing for? Are you playing
Speaker 1: for a championship or you're just playing for cash? And
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like you're playing for anything in a
Speaker 1: sport or what you're playing for and the legacy of
Speaker 1: the sport matters probably as much as any sport. But also, Mike,
Speaker 1: if you look at the Lift Tour players, they got
Speaker 1: paid and they get to play in this major. How
Speaker 1: many majors are they going to be able to play
Speaker 1: in each year? Dan, That's the big story with those guys.
Speaker 1: The numbers are going to dwindle because they're not getting
Speaker 1: World Ranking points. Unless you have other ways in, you're
Speaker 1: not going to find your way in. So each major
Speaker 1: has a certain qualification that if you finish in the
Speaker 1: top twelve or the top eight, you get invited back
Speaker 1: next year. To me, that's the story with the Lift
Speaker 1: players on Sunday. Are you going to earn a spot
Speaker 1: into next year's Masters or somewhere else if you win
Speaker 1: by the exemptions that come with your finish. So, to me,
Speaker 1: that's one of the small stories. But I'll have the
Speaker 1: most impact on individual guys who's ability to play in
Speaker 1: these majors is going to run out as their World
Speaker 1: Championship points run out, and also their qualifications for winning
Speaker 1: the events that they won. Guys like Deshambo win in
Speaker 1: the US Open, et cetera, et cetera, and kept as well.
Speaker 1: But what's your best score at Augusta? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'd have to go. Look, I've only played on if
Speaker 1: you if you knew, no, if it was really good,
Speaker 1: I would know, yeah, Dan, it was. It was all
Speaker 1: about what's yours? Eighty one eighty one? Wow? And what
Speaker 1: did you find? And for the you know, for the
Speaker 1: people who have had the opportunity to play from the
Speaker 1: members tease, it's very playable. It's not very long, and
Speaker 1: it's it's really if you have a good putting day
Speaker 1: or you're accurate, you have and a great caddie, you
Speaker 1: have a chance to put up a good school. But
Speaker 1: we played wherever you could play from the tips. We
Speaker 1: played from the tips. Oh you did? Yeah? We eighteen
Speaker 1: played from the tips. Wow. Yeah, but you know there
Speaker 1: were a couple of holes. But my caddy caddy for
Speaker 1: Sevey and Story and he was wondering I got traded
Speaker 1: on the first team, Mike, because the caddies were betting.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, and I got trade. I hit my tea
Speaker 1: shot and my caddy traded for me, and so they
Speaker 1: had they had money on us while we're playing. But
Speaker 1: the best, the best part of it. I will say
Speaker 1: that this did happen to me. Augusta. Closest I came
Speaker 1: to an ace in my life was here at six.
Speaker 1: I came there. I was playing with Jade Billis. As
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I came this close to an ace.
Speaker 1: That was the That was the golf moment of my
Speaker 1: life at Augusta. Now, what do you do? You have
Speaker 1: to buy drinks for everybody in the clubhouse. I don't
Speaker 1: know how that works at Augusta. Sadly I never got
Speaker 1: to find out. And you don't even remember what your
Speaker 1: score was, Mike. No, I don't. I don't do that, Dan,
Speaker 1: I don't walk around talking abou would you get ahold
Speaker 1: of Billis? Billis will have the scorecard because he all
Speaker 1: be shot, you know, pretty good score. No, he did
Speaker 1: play well that day. I have a picture of how
Speaker 1: close the ball came. The caddy said, mister Mike. We
Speaker 1: you can't have your phone out, but I gotta take
Speaker 1: a picture of how close you came. And I do.
Speaker 1: It's this closer. It's painful. Thanks for bringing up a
Speaker 1: nice memory for me, Dan, I appreciate it. Is that
Speaker 1: fire real behind you? By the way, Uh, it's yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a it's a it's a it's real
Speaker 1: warm when I when I worked the uh the Thursday
Speaker 1: Friday coverage with ESPN that Scottie Van Pelt does. Now though,
Speaker 1: the question I would get from people more is the
Speaker 1: fireplace in Butler cabin. Yeah, yes, it is real, it is.
Speaker 1: But see you should have gotten like some marshmallows, maybe
Speaker 1: made such moors that Yeah, that would be great. Come
Speaker 1: on Butler Cabino. Excuse Curtis and I are just making here.
Speaker 1: That'll go what They have a great sense of humor
Speaker 1: down there, Mike. What do you think about the whole
Speaker 1: location or thirteen today? Curtis, hang on, I don't want
Speaker 1: to roast this marshmallow to it. I will say this
Speaker 1: Dan for folks in all seriousness. And you know this
Speaker 1: because you've been here working and you've had the opportunity
Speaker 1: to come as a guest media member, player, caddy pro,
Speaker 1: guest patron. As you know, we like to say here
Speaker 1: all of it, it's really hard to get here. When
Speaker 1: you get here, there's no place in sports where you
Speaker 1: get treated better. They treat everyone great. The press building here,
Speaker 1: they should buy fiber bring every sporting event into here
Speaker 1: and have it covered from here. They do everything really,
Speaker 1: really well. And I will say it, okay, try and
Speaker 1: just on Monday, aren't you Mike? No, I'm not. I'm
Speaker 1: going home on Monday. I've been here for eleven days.
Speaker 1: Don't you agree, though, Yes? Yes, yeah, it's It's an
Speaker 1: awesome place. It really is. It's one of those you
Speaker 1: do pitch yourself when you get here. It is pretty common.
Speaker 1: You understand why people get emotional about it. Pimento sandwich
Speaker 1: on me, Mike, Okay, do you want me send one
Speaker 1: to you? No? Okay. I never had a pimento cheese
Speaker 1: in which until I went to Adusta and then I went,
Speaker 1: where's this? Where's this been in my life? The best thing?
Speaker 1: Ten dollars beer, sandwich and chips. Can't come back with change? Yeah,
Speaker 1: come back with change? Where else? Do you know? I
Speaker 1: took a piece of turf from Augusta when I played
Speaker 1: did you like try to put it into the lad
Speaker 1: I brought it back for you. I brought it back
Speaker 1: in tupperware and my wife goes, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: And I said, I brought some grass back from Augusta
Speaker 1: and I was going to try to see if I
Speaker 1: could plant it. It didn't work. I've got I've got
Speaker 1: a quick one for you. Last game at old Tiger Stadium,
Speaker 1: they were handing out cups of dirt from the outfield
Speaker 1: warning track and we were building our house in Michigan,
Speaker 1: so my wife grew up a Tiger fan. We have
Speaker 1: a cup of dirt from the warning track at Tiger

Speaker 1: that Billy would do this show and I would do
Speaker 1: that show. Yes. More, what's your friends with Kevin Frazier?
Speaker 1: Why don't you just ask him to filling He can
Speaker 1: come in, come to Milford. He could do this show
Speaker 1: he's filled in before. Yeah, and I could work well
Speaker 1: with Michelle Turner. I think there could be some magic there,
Speaker 1: there could be some chemistry. Yeah. See, my wife has
Speaker 1: been like super into this show called married Married at
Speaker 1: First Sight, Yeah, where you basically liked an arranged marriage.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, but they haven't met each other. They
Speaker 1: meet each other for the first time at the altar
Speaker 1: and then you see like all of these things that
Speaker 1: go on. And I was watching with her and they
Speaker 1: did a recap of like months later where do things stand?
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, my wife goes, hey, isn't
Speaker 1: that k Frey Kevin Frasier on there doing the wrap
Speaker 1: up interviews? Oh oh, I thought that he got married?
Speaker 1: No no, no, no no, no, okay, no no, he was
Speaker 1: doing the like the interviews though of like, like Shelley,
Speaker 1: tell me what I would have a hard time doing that.
Speaker 1: I would where it feels like those entertainment hosts are
Speaker 1: excited about everybody and everything that they're doing. He is perfect, Oh,
Speaker 1: Kevin Frasier's great, perfect, Yes, and so is Michelle Turner.
Speaker 1: That she's such a sweetheart. Yeah that, and they love
Speaker 1: everybody and everything. We hope you're better And if somebody
Speaker 1: could go through a breakup and they're gonna be with you,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I could do I don't
Speaker 1: know if I could do that. I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: be phony, but I would have to be phony. Kevin
Speaker 1: and Nichelle probably aren't. Yes, yes, so merrit at first sight,
Speaker 1: it's it's based on a Danish show called Gift Vlad
Speaker 1: forst Blick, which you know that was very popular. It's
Speaker 1: hyphenated I got traded Duke to for Kobe. He was
Speaker 1: a big flopper. So it's been on fifteen seasons because
Speaker 1: they do like a couple of seasons per year. And
Speaker 1: here are the stats. Fifty nine couple has been matched
Speaker 1: like where a psychologist and people talk to them. Forty
Speaker 1: three of them chose to stay married on decision day,
Speaker 1: and out of which almost two thirds have since divorced.
Speaker 1: File for Doors are announcering. As of February, only twelve
Speaker 1: of the fifty nine couples who've been paired on the
Speaker 1: show are still together. That's a twenty percent success. Right
Speaker 1: back to you. It's an interesting show, it is. I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't lower myself to watching those things. I just
Speaker 1: I'll watch a lot of stuff that could be trashy,
Speaker 1: but I can't do that because it's funny because some
Speaker 1: of them are like into each other right away, you know,
Speaker 1: and there's like all kinds of things that come with
Speaker 1: that that you're like, oh dang, all right, right out
Speaker 1: of the gate, let's go. And then other people they
Speaker 1: couldn't be more uh, another just like they're just looking
Speaker 1: at each other and like we're supposed to be like
Speaker 1: intimate with each Yeah, it's fall when you watch the
Speaker 1: show The Bachelor of the Bacherette. I can't watch those,
Speaker 1: but you have a little bit a long, long time ago.
Speaker 1: Once in a a while, there'll be a woman or even
Speaker 1: a guy on there who's like just perfect looking. They've
Speaker 1: got like a good job and they look like a
Speaker 1: like a twelve out of ten. They you know, the
Speaker 1: dude look like braining. Oh that's what they want you
Speaker 1: to tune in. I don't think if you know, one
Speaker 1: of us showed up, they'd be like, oh, did you
Speaker 1: see the Bachelor? No, I'm aware of why they program
Speaker 1: I was. I guess what I'm saying is like, when
Speaker 1: you look at some of these women, I'm like, how
Speaker 1: do they end up there? You think they could just
Speaker 1: walk down the street and have ten dudes following them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they want to be on TV. Everybody wants to
Speaker 1: be on TV. Do you think there's some of them
Speaker 1: there they're just like no, a mess? No, Well, I
Speaker 1: think they're they want to be stars. You want to
Speaker 1: be on TV? All right? Everybody does. Yeah. See, I
Speaker 1: will say that this show is a little different because
Speaker 1: they do it does seem like they make an attempt
Speaker 1: to actually match people up. They'll be like this cute,
Speaker 1: like little nerdy couple, right, or then these this other
Speaker 1: couple that are super athletic. Right. It's not just oh,
Speaker 1: this dude used to be on a soap opera, but
Speaker 1: now he's the guy. You know what I mean. I
Speaker 1: can't I can't watch The Bachelor. No, no, I can't
Speaker 1: do that. It's uncomfortable. Yes, and on The Bachelor, they
Speaker 1: seem to be playing roles other than the fact that
Speaker 1: they just want to be on TV. And they're acting
Speaker 1: like they all love this guy Zach, which I don't get.
Speaker 1: But one's like the crazy one. Watch it, I do.
Speaker 1: They dragged me in the one's the crazy once assented
Speaker 1: when the cries of everything. One's just kind of a
Speaker 1: lunatic that he better pick her or she's gonna kill
Speaker 1: both of them. It's just uncomfortable watching those shows. You
Speaker 1: know where you're going, Oh my god, you're crying on
Speaker 1: TV over this guy. They're driving back to the airport
Speaker 1: and the camera obviously right in their face. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: we had something together. My life is over. I can
Speaker 1: really feel myself falling for you. That's the one that
Speaker 1: you might have. Shut up. Yeah, And when it's a
Speaker 1: guy who says I could really see myself falling for you,
Speaker 1: I just I think I'm in love with two of them. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'd be in love with more than two of them.
Speaker 1: I love you, and I love you, and I love you.
Speaker 1: This isn't what I signed up with exactly. Final Hour
Speaker 1: coming up, we'll talk to Sharif Abdur Raheem. He's the
Speaker 1: president of the G League. Do they recruit in the
Speaker 1: G League? Also, we'll talk about the future, the one
Speaker 1: and done, what it means for college of basketball as well.
Speaker 1: Final Hour coming up right after this
