Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Oh, it's our two on this Friday. It's
Speaker 1: a meat Friday at that And case you're wondering, I
Speaker 1: just went out checked on the Trager grills. They're on.
Speaker 1: We don't have any food on there yet, but that'll
Speaker 1: take place next hour. And we have smoked pork chops
Speaker 1: with balsamic glaze, mashed red potatoes, and honey glazed carrots.
Speaker 1: Who has it better than we do? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: we don't. Nobody has it better than we do. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get to phone calls coming up. We got a
Speaker 1: busy hour here. Rex Chapman, Turners sports analyst and former
Speaker 1: NBA guard, will join us. Randy Johnson, the Big Unit.
Speaker 1: He might be underrated, might be underrated if you look
Speaker 1: at his numbers. How he started, how he ended, I
Speaker 1: think he pitched away was forty five and he was
Speaker 1: above five hundred in his last season, five times cy
Speaker 1: Young Winner. And apparently he was told yesterday we were
Speaker 1: talking about going to do the Super Bowl show next year,
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls in Arizona and Charles Barkley I thought
Speaker 1: opened the door literally for us to come in and
Speaker 1: spend the whole week at his house, his compound. And
Speaker 1: then I find out we can't go in the house.
Speaker 1: We can be in the guest house, and we're probably
Speaker 1: going to be on the tennis court. And I thought, well,
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound like fun. And then I thought, well,
Speaker 1: we'll just reach out to Randy Johnson. He lives by,
Speaker 1: and maybe Randy'll let us stay at his house. Yes,
Speaker 1: Charles is like, we could only be there for the day.
Speaker 1: We can't even sleep over. Yeah, what the heck? That's
Speaker 1: not fun. Oh, I'm looking for content there. Yeah, Paully,
Speaker 1: but Dan, I just found this. Randy Johnson sold his
Speaker 1: Paradise Valley home. That's it. That's an arian Scottsdale for
Speaker 1: seven million a couple years ago. It was twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand square feet. I'm looking at it. It's legit high
Speaker 1: ceilings as you'd imagine. Yes, for a guy six ten.
Speaker 1: I don't know where he lives now. Well, Charles, his
Speaker 1: house has twenty thousand square feet and I thought, I
Speaker 1: thought that that's what Randy Johnson's I thought that maybe
Speaker 1: that was enough room for us to do our show
Speaker 1: there during super Bowl week. And then I find out
Speaker 1: we can do it. We basically get there real early
Speaker 1: in the morning, and then we have to leave right
Speaker 1: as the show ends. And I thought, well, maybe check
Speaker 1: in with Randy Johnson so the Big Unit will join
Speaker 1: us later on this hour. Yes, point, we should make
Speaker 1: sure unit's not living like a tight or something. True.
Speaker 1: We get mate and switched. It's a showcase of immortals,
Speaker 1: the grandest stage of them all. Don't miss the most
Speaker 1: stupendous two night WrestleMania in history, streaming April second and third,

Speaker 1: Also our great radio affiliates around the country. iHeartRadio, Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio lineup nearly four hundred cities around America. Seaton
Speaker 1: froze up when I asked him for the results of
Speaker 1: the poll question from the first hour. I gave him
Speaker 1: ten minutes to collect himself, and here we are in
Speaker 1: the second hour, Seaton, Dan, we asked who had the
Speaker 1: best week? Your options were. Bobby Wagner just signed himself
Speaker 1: a tasty new deal. Coach k back in the final four,
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods might be playing at the Masters. Janis pretty
Speaker 1: much locked up the MVP. Maybe in my opinion. In
Speaker 1: your opinion, Todd Ball's given the keys to a super
Speaker 1: Bowl winner and Shaheen Holloway upgrading from Saint Peter's to
Speaker 1: Seaton Hall theoretically with a fairly monster's check. Yes, so
Speaker 1: I'm good to guess he probably ten times his salary
Speaker 1: at Saint Peter's with Seaton Hall. You want to guess
Speaker 1: the voting, I'm gonna say, Tiger playing at the Masters.
Speaker 1: Tiger playing at the Masters right now is basically in
Speaker 1: a three way tie for second. Shaheen Holloway running away
Speaker 1: with a thirty two. All right, Fritzie's been working on
Speaker 1: his Coach k impersonation. Nobody asked for it, but you've
Speaker 1: been working on it. Now stop that. That's not the
Speaker 1: way intro an impersonation. I need to say this. This
Speaker 1: was unacceptable. What you're just wait wait, that sounds like
Speaker 1: you without the list. No, but you you cut it out.
Speaker 1: I have to say something. Yeah, that's better. Quiet down,
Speaker 1: it's todd enunciating. Yes, it's actually I don't care how
Speaker 1: many weeks he was sitting outside in the tent trying
Speaker 1: to get ticket to this game. That was unacceptable. What
Speaker 1: just happened here? Now? Quiet down? Okay? Are we having
Speaker 1: Coach kon next week? I hope so. I think he
Speaker 1: would appreciate the impersonation, though you do him as good,
Speaker 1: probably better than I do. I love what you do. Okay,
Speaker 1: just trying to copy because if I have Coach kon
Speaker 1: next week, I'm gonna say, hey, Coach, listen to Fritzie
Speaker 1: do his impersonation of you. We could do that. You
Speaker 1: would do it After the shot and sharp thing when
Speaker 1: I was actually sitting right across from him and feeling
Speaker 1: how huge his bicycle are. I think I couldn't pretty
Speaker 1: much do any of that. That one was the most
Speaker 1: awkward one I think we've ever had. You know, Fritzie
Speaker 1: does a shot and shot? What did you do it
Speaker 1: for it? You'll get a kick out of that shot
Speaker 1: A chop boys, and Shannon didn't laugh for the first
Speaker 1: sixty seconds of it. I like to Denver broncklebo one
Speaker 1: day of the WI I know the chief the good
Speaker 1: and the tricks got better. Reeve got better than well
Speaker 1: the quarterback then, but he got Ruth Wilson had to
Speaker 1: go out there. You go with proper Bowl. Thank you, Todd.
Speaker 1: We'll get phone calls coming up. If you're an NFL fan,
Speaker 1: you're hoping for a veteran free agent to help your team.
Speaker 1: I got bad news because the La Rams they're pouncing
Speaker 1: on everybody here. They don't have any draft picks, they
Speaker 1: can't trade any draft picks, but they've landed some proven veterans.
Speaker 1: I love what they've done. You got two former Pro Bowlers,
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson Bobby Wagner. So Robinson gives the Rams high
Speaker 1: end receiver play across from Cooper Cup and that's already
Speaker 1: a potent offense. Wagner I kept thinking, is Denver gonna
Speaker 1: pick up Bobby Wagner? Who's gonna pick up Bobby Wagner.
Speaker 1: He's just six time All Pro and he can play
Speaker 1: three downs, first, second, third down. But you know, we
Speaker 1: keep talking about the AFC. You got to talk about
Speaker 1: the NFC because you know, Green Bay's not going to
Speaker 1: be as good as they were last year without Adams.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay coming back, You've got a coaching change there.
Speaker 1: I don't know, if you look at the Cowboys, is
Speaker 1: legitimate here, but the Rams the Rams have done. Defending
Speaker 1: champs am fallen off. If you say I got Aaron Donald,
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, and Jalen Ramsey. Is there a team that
Speaker 1: has star players future Hall of famers on all three
Speaker 1: levels there? Defensive line, middle linebacker, defensive back, and then
Speaker 1: you throw in the offense there, then you throw in
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh. The Rams should be getting a lot more
Speaker 1: consideration as defending champs being able to repeat, But it
Speaker 1: feels like did you see the overunders? The overunders yesterday
Speaker 1: came out on what Vegas thinks is going to happen,
Speaker 1: and there's so much parody that I don't think they
Speaker 1: have any team winning twelve games next year. I think
Speaker 1: maybe you have eleven, eleven and a half for these teams.
Speaker 1: But if you look at the parody there, certainly with
Speaker 1: the AFC West, even green Bay in that bad division,
Speaker 1: Dallas in that bad division, the Rams in a tougher division,
Speaker 1: certainly with the Niners and the Cardinals, Seattle will be down.
Speaker 1: PAULI does anybody have is anybody projected to have twelve wins?
Speaker 1: The over under? Now, that's pretty extreme, Like the Chiefs
Speaker 1: went down a win from last year, they're at ten
Speaker 1: and a half wins projected. They were eleven and a
Speaker 1: half last year. The Bills, Packers, and Bucks eleven and
Speaker 1: a half wins projected. That's the betting line. Then on
Speaker 1: the other end of that, the Houston Texans four point
Speaker 1: five wins, the Jets has always five and a half wins,
Speaker 1: and the Falcons five and a half wins. By the way,
Speaker 1: Seahawks Bobby Wager, he's happy the Seahawks are fourth from
Speaker 1: last and wins projected lest what do they have? Seven? Six?
Speaker 1: So okay, yikes. But there's always going to be two
Speaker 1: or three teams always that move up, two or three
Speaker 1: teams that fall down. Happens every year because the schedule.
Speaker 1: They cater the schedule too. If you're weren't a good
Speaker 1: team the previous year, they want to help you. If
Speaker 1: you were a good team, then they usually use that
Speaker 1: against you when the schedule comes out. But you start
Speaker 1: to look at who you're going to be playing, and
Speaker 1: I thought Green Bay with Davante Adams was going to
Speaker 1: have at least twelve wins, maybe thirteen wins because you're
Speaker 1: in a bad division, and I think they play with
Speaker 1: the NFC East AFC East. Does that sound right now?
Speaker 1: Buffalo is obviously good, New England will probably be average,
Speaker 1: Miami will be a little bit better. Then you have
Speaker 1: the Jets in there. As far as the NFC East,
Speaker 1: I don't. I think Dallas is not as strong as
Speaker 1: they were last year with some of these moves and
Speaker 1: players they've lost. Philadelphia should be better. Let's see what
Speaker 1: they do in the draft. You know, the Giants. It's
Speaker 1: one thing when you have a bad team, but when
Speaker 1: you have a bad team and no salary cap room.
Speaker 1: You have the New York Giants, Washington, the Commanders with
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. They could be better, not significant, but they
Speaker 1: could be a little bit better then, and people are
Speaker 1: probably projecting what's the overunder for the Commanders. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say eight. We're gonna get that. But I didn't realize
Speaker 1: the Giants. You're right, the New York Giants had the
Speaker 1: least amount of cap room after It's that possible. They
Speaker 1: just up the cap and they I don't think the
Speaker 1: Giants added a lot of people in fancy unless I
Speaker 1: was sleeping. They only have seven hundred thousand dollars in
Speaker 1: cap room. They can afford a long snapper. Damn you
Speaker 1: can't even have a Christmas party with what they have
Speaker 1: with the left of the salary cap. The Saints have
Speaker 1: twenty six million are coming off. You know two years
Speaker 1: ago they were thirteen win team. What's the overunder on
Speaker 1: the Commanders? Yes, Hunt, I'm looking at seven and a half. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, maybe I'm going to eight. Maybe I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with the eight with the Commanders. Eight wins this year,
Speaker 1: and you think now they'd go eight and eight. No,
Speaker 1: it's eight and nine. A couple of phone calls in
Speaker 1: here Todd in North Carolina, Hi, Todd, what's on your
Speaker 1: mind today, any guys? No awkward, pauls is today? The
Speaker 1: reason I was calling my son and I are gonna
Speaker 1: leave this evening and do a father son trip drive
Speaker 1: down to New Orleans for the final four. And I
Speaker 1: was just trying to get some recommendations from you guys
Speaker 1: on must eat places that would be Pauli's wheelhouse there.
Speaker 1: Don't sleep on the Garden District in New Orleans if
Speaker 1: you get a chance to go there. A lot of
Speaker 1: people focus on, you know, the French Quarter, and there
Speaker 1: are a lot of great places there. But I found
Speaker 1: that every time I've gone there Garden District never disappoints Yample. Yeah. Dan,
Speaker 1: the more touristy the area usually the worst. The meal
Speaker 1: like Times Square in New York, that's not where you
Speaker 1: generally want to eat. There's a place that we went
Speaker 1: to when we were first in New Orleans. It's called
Speaker 1: coshn Yeah, it's a great spot here. The noise in
Speaker 1: the room when just saying the name. They have a
Speaker 1: little sandwich shopping back called Butcher. I ate there six
Speaker 1: times in nine days. Butcher Andrew in Washington, Hi Andrew,
Speaker 1: welcome back. Good morning guys, Good morning Dan and Dan
Speaker 1: at say real quick, I'm gonna be watching this weekend
Speaker 1: with my wallet on the table and my heart on
Speaker 1: my sleeves. I'm a huge Duke fan, been there for
Speaker 1: thirty years. I got a Duke tattoo. Even call me crazy.
Speaker 1: But if I win my pool at work, if UNC
Speaker 1: and Kansas go to the championship game, So just a
Speaker 1: little bit there. And I also, since we've been doing
Speaker 1: Jeopardy and we talked about trivial pursuit, have a real
Speaker 1: quick trivia question for the room. All right. Hubert Davis
Speaker 1: of UNC has become only the second man ever to
Speaker 1: play for and be the head coach of the same
Speaker 1: school in the final four. Could anyone name the other
Speaker 1: man to do this? He played for and coached four
Speaker 1: in the final four the same team. Yes, it could
Speaker 1: be a hard one, so it makes it well, yes,
Speaker 1: what decade the fifties? Oh boy, Yeah, Marv John Wooden,
Speaker 1: he was We're gonna bring it full circles. It was
Speaker 1: Dick Harp in nineteen fifty seven for the Kansas Jayhawks.
Speaker 1: Now the Kansas Jayhawks eventually lost to un Seeing the
Speaker 1: championship that year in a double overtime. I believe, all right,
Speaker 1: well that's a that's a deep cut there, Andrew, thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: John Wooden played it per due and then coach it usey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, but in my mind I was just he
Speaker 1: said a hard one, and he said that guy's name. No, no,
Speaker 1: I know, it's a it's a it's a good reach there.
Speaker 1: Keep your head upright, uh fill in New Mexico High Phil.
Speaker 1: What's on your mind today? Yeah? I got a mock
Speaker 1: headline jingle for you. It's entitled for what It's Worth. Okay,

Speaker 1: the Peacock app. More phone calls coming up. Randy Johnson,
Speaker 1: the big unit. I'm looking at his numbers. He might
Speaker 1: be underrated. You don't think of that, but I remember
Speaker 1: when he was with the Montreal Expos and I thought
Speaker 1: he was Nucluluche. Before Nucleuluche. He was seven and thirteen
Speaker 1: his first year and you weren't sure if he was
Speaker 1: going to throw it to the backstop, hit somebody, or
Speaker 1: strike somebody out or all the above, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden he found magic. It's almost like Sandy
Speaker 1: Koufax did too, because Kofax, I think that had a
Speaker 1: hard time with control and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: found it and then never looked back. But the big
Speaker 1: unit will join us coming up. I didn't realize he
Speaker 1: had won five Young Awards, I think four in a row.
Speaker 1: But he and he pitched to his forty five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: pulling Dan, he was a top five in the cy
Speaker 1: Young in his twenties and in his forties. His first
Speaker 1: year in the pros, though, he had seven while pitches
Speaker 1: seven bocks, hit seven guys, He struck out one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty and walked one hundred and could you imagine
Speaker 1: being a left hander going to the plate against him
Speaker 1: back then. Rex Chapman turners sports college basketball analyst, former
Speaker 1: Kentucky star, Twitter legend, and his show, The Weekly Show
Speaker 1: Rex Chapman, premiers this Monday on CNN Plus. New episodes
Speaker 1: will stream every Monday. Did you get recruited by coach
Speaker 1: k at Duke? No, they knew I couldn't get in.
Speaker 1: How did they know that? They probably just saw me
Speaker 1: do an interview? Did North Carolina? Yeah, I visited Carolina.
Speaker 1: I loved Carolina growing up. I visited Carolina, Kentucky, Louisville, Georgia,
Speaker 1: Tack another place I couldn't get in as a favor
Speaker 1: to Craig Neil who played on the team then. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I loved Carolina. Dean was the guy. I was just
Speaker 1: talking about this to some buddies the other day when
Speaker 1: I was growing up, and maybe when you're Dean Smith
Speaker 1: was the guy like he was and two like to
Speaker 1: my son who's twenty nine, coach K is the guy. Um.
Speaker 1: I just can't. I can't believe he's retiring. I kind
Speaker 1: of hate it. But do you remember did you go
Speaker 1: to North Carolina and you were in Dean Smith's office? Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: I was. I was. I remember. Young Roy Williams was
Speaker 1: the main recruiter. He had just gotten into coaching, and
Speaker 1: he and Dean flew to Owensboro, Kentucky to pick me up.
Speaker 1: I flew back with them to Carolina. They had Jeff Lebo,
Speaker 1: Brad Daugherty, Um, Joe Wolf, Annie Smith. They had a
Speaker 1: really nice squad, I had a great visit, just probably
Speaker 1: wasn't going to leave the state. But do you look
Speaker 1: back and go, would it have been better for me
Speaker 1: to leave the state instead of staying in house where
Speaker 1: you were a legend in the state of Kentucky and
Speaker 1: the pressure was probably pretty immense that maybe if you'd
Speaker 1: gone to Carolina, would it have changed things for you?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea. I do know
Speaker 1: this that given what I've gone through, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if I'd have gone somewhere else that that place would
Speaker 1: have welcomed me back with open arms like Kentucky did,
Speaker 1: and the state and the university after some of my issues.
Speaker 1: So I don't really second guess that Kentucky's an amazing school.
Speaker 1: It's been great to me. I love the people there.
Speaker 1: I don't know about the Woodas and Kudas Louisville. Louisville
Speaker 1: was really my only other school that I truly considered,
Speaker 1: and I grew up loving Darryl Griffith, Um, Denny Crown,
Speaker 1: that whole thing, Doctor duncan Stein, Doctor duncan Stein. I
Speaker 1: mean that that team, who was it? Bobby Turner was
Speaker 1: he don't know I, well, you know what, they had
Speaker 1: doctor Duncinstein. They had the McCray brothers, Rodney and Scooter,
Speaker 1: Poncho Wright, Wiley Brown had had the thumb missus stuff
Speaker 1: missing thumb. Yeah yeah, what a what a team, and
Speaker 1: they got up and down the court. They were also
Speaker 1: proximity wise. Louisville was about only about an hour and
Speaker 1: a half from Owensboro, where I grew up. Where Kentucky
Speaker 1: is about two and a half away. How did North
Speaker 1: Carolina get here? Wow? Uh, you know, it's interesting. I
Speaker 1: you know, I did some of the tournament stuff for
Speaker 1: for T and T. How was that experience, by the way,
Speaker 1: that was awesome. It was fantastic. Yeah, you know, the
Speaker 1: beast working, so it was great. But I saw Duke
Speaker 1: play the first game of the season against Kentucky in
Speaker 1: New York in the Garden, and Duke was so much
Speaker 1: bigger that I thought, this team, this team has to
Speaker 1: be in the final four. At some point, I completely
Speaker 1: forgot about all of that once I started looking at
Speaker 1: the brackets. That being said, I think Carolina is here
Speaker 1: because they're big. They are huge. They've got a big team.
Speaker 1: This matchup is crazy, you know, I can't imagine I
Speaker 1: can't believe this is the first time these two programs
Speaker 1: have met in the tournament. But what a beautiful matchup.
Speaker 1: I love Roy Williams, I love Hubert Davis. If nothing
Speaker 1: would make me any happier to see Hubert Davis win
Speaker 1: it his first year out, I'm rooting for coach k
Speaker 1: though I really am has any earned enough, got enough? No?
Speaker 1: I mean, shouldn't he share? He is Johnny Dawkins, and
Speaker 1: those guys willed him to one of his first final fours.
Speaker 1: This team is willing him now to this final four.
Speaker 1: And that if you'd have told me we talked about
Speaker 1: Dean Smith a little while ago, you had you know,
Speaker 1: That's how kind of I learned to watch basketball was
Speaker 1: watching him. Coach Kay came in when that era of
Speaker 1: basketball was still going on. And look at how he's adapted.
Speaker 1: He's not only adapted to you know, the landscape of
Speaker 1: college basketball with the one and done and all that.
Speaker 1: But I remember a few years ago, Jabari Parker playing
Speaker 1: for Duke, just came down and launched one. No passes,
Speaker 1: just launched one. And I'm thinking, in my mind, he's
Speaker 1: coming right out. Kay's jerking him out. Nope, let him
Speaker 1: keep playing. So there's some things you just have to
Speaker 1: let go now, and he's done that. Yeah, I want
Speaker 1: we're talking to Rex Chapman. I'm watching a lot. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of bad shooters in college basketball. Rex, I
Speaker 1: was built for this this era bad. I admitted bad shots.
Speaker 1: You might have been better now, might have been don't
Speaker 1: have to play defense at all? Come on, No, But
Speaker 1: I'm watching this, and you know I'd like Villanova. You know,
Speaker 1: Jay Wright is a wonderful coach. Bill self has done
Speaker 1: it again with a team that probably doesn't have a
Speaker 1: legitimate star. There. We're investing more in the coaches probably
Speaker 1: than we ever have now. Hubert Davis is the outlier,
Speaker 1: but still he has the pedigree and that franchise does.
Speaker 1: Is that what college basketball is? I liken it too.
Speaker 1: You're either eighteen years of age or you're twenty three
Speaker 1: years of age. It's either you're one and done or
Speaker 1: you're a fifth year senior. Yeah. I think we all
Speaker 1: have to get used to changing our lens of college
Speaker 1: basketball and what that means. Players are getting paid now,
Speaker 1: get used to it. They're professional players or semi pro players.
Speaker 1: I got no problem with the coaches making money. I
Speaker 1: do have a problem with you know, now we see
Speaker 1: the transfer portal, and I know people are upset about it,
Speaker 1: but come on, this is a system you guys have
Speaker 1: in place now guys can basically, guys who want to
Speaker 1: be traded can get traded. Well the coaches. The coaches
Speaker 1: have been then the transfer portal forever. And that's my point.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with the coaches making the money, but they
Speaker 1: may need to sit out for a year if they
Speaker 1: go just up and break their contract and go somewhere else.
Speaker 1: That's not right, especially when the players couldn't do that.
Speaker 1: That's definitely not right. It's never been right. Tell us
Speaker 1: about the new show on CNN, Well, apparently they found
Speaker 1: something to do with me, Dan. I know you and
Speaker 1: I talked months ago and you said nobody knows what
Speaker 1: to do with you. That is true. Yeah, I talked
Speaker 1: to Rex and his agent and they're like, what do
Speaker 1: we do with Rex? I go, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't want that pressure to try to
Speaker 1: do something with you. You know, and I got some
Speaker 1: really good advice from you, from Rich Eyes and from
Speaker 1: some people who know some things in the business. And
Speaker 1: you know, the main thing was Rex don't let them
Speaker 1: do anything too televisiony. You know, I'm not a host.
Speaker 1: I can't do what you do. I'm not a play
Speaker 1: by play guy. That's a whole different set of skills.
Speaker 1: So really my show is just me sitting down and
Speaker 1: talking with people. I can tell you a few of
Speaker 1: the people that we've had on our first episode on Monday,
Speaker 1: if it'll be Jason Sadakis, I went over to London
Speaker 1: and interviewed him. We had a great time, just set
Speaker 1: it there little their bar that they go to in
Speaker 1: the show and for an hour and just had a
Speaker 1: terrific conversation. I've interviewed Ben Stiller. That'll come up on
Speaker 1: another one. Kevin Love. Terrific conversation with Kevin Love, who
Speaker 1: I had never really we had never met each other,
Speaker 1: and we talked a lot about mental health. Um, so
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I don't like anything that I do, whether
Speaker 1: it was basketball or this or any I hate watching myself.
Speaker 1: They forced me to watch some of It's not bad.
Speaker 1: They made you look good. They made me look at
Speaker 1: what they can do with editing and post post production. Amazing.
Speaker 1: What a team of people of people that Jason Sudeka
Speaker 1: is a college basketball. Did you talk about his college
Speaker 1: basketball career? Yes, and it's fantastic, you know, because I
Speaker 1: don't want to give too much away, but I tell
Speaker 1: people that, like with Alan Iverson Alan, if you go
Speaker 1: up to Alan, tell him you love him as a
Speaker 1: basketball player, he said, Well, he'll say, well, I'm a
Speaker 1: football player. You should have seen me play football. In
Speaker 1: Jason's mind, he's a basketball player. Uh, you know on
Speaker 1: his SNL, you know, beginning of his SNL career. You know,
Speaker 1: he's out on the playground here in New York shooting neops.
Speaker 1: He played seriously, took it seriously, did drills, the meribitch drills,
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. Decent high school player, went to
Speaker 1: play in college. That's what he wanted to do. So
Speaker 1: we get into that a lot of other good stuff,
Speaker 1: and I'm just excited about it. Social media roughed you
Speaker 1: up with the Pete Gillen rest in Peace. I'm thrilled.
Speaker 1: Pete is a lot I am too. I am today.
Speaker 1: But Rex, I'm watching it live and I go, Rex
Speaker 1: can't be on drugs again, Like, Rex, you can't do
Speaker 1: this to me. He can be. No, No, he could be,
Speaker 1: but I'm watching I'm going I think. He just said
Speaker 1: Pete Gillen was dead, and then I thought maybe you
Speaker 1: had godsham God dead and I thought, what, you're killing everybody.
Speaker 1: That's what the guys said on the set we went
Speaker 1: to break and set said Pete Gillen. I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: And he goes and he goes, well, I think he's
Speaker 1: a lot. I said, oh shit, who am I thinking
Speaker 1: of it? He goes and I said, I'm thinking Skip Prosser.
Speaker 1: That's who I'm thinking and who they both coachted Xavier
Speaker 1: when I was growing up. But that was it. Have
Speaker 1: you talked to said? I said. They sent me. A
Speaker 1: friend of his took a picture, sent it to me,

Speaker 1: I'm just pre empting the sadness. How do you do?
Speaker 1: How do you do? Because you're busy on Twitter? How
Speaker 1: do you react when you're the subject of Twitter. Twitter's
Speaker 1: not real Twitter's not real life, man. I've people come
Speaker 1: at me on Twitter all the time. Nobody does it
Speaker 1: in person. I see people out in the street all
Speaker 1: the time. Nobody says a damn thing. Twitter is just
Speaker 1: a Twitter is just kind of fun. You can't take
Speaker 1: it too seriously. It's not real. I saw somebody made
Speaker 1: a comment about you looking like Scott van Pelt, but
Speaker 1: he I have the look is he took it from me? Well,
Speaker 1: he took it from me. They said you look like
Speaker 1: Scott man Pelt if Scott van Pelt owned a chocolate factory.

Speaker 1: More phone calls coming up, we'll get to Randy Johnson
Speaker 1: here in a moment. Last week we had Dave Robertson
Speaker 1: Dodgers manager, and somehow we ended up with a conversation
Speaker 1: and a story about when Dave Roberts went to the
Speaker 1: plate and actually tried to bunt on Randy Johnson. Here's
Speaker 1: the Dodgers manager. I didn't get the chance to hit
Speaker 1: the homer off Randy because he drew me in the
Speaker 1: rif anyway, So yeah, so I got the repercussion of
Speaker 1: getting hit by Randy. I guess I could have had
Speaker 1: him signed that ball. What did it feel like? I
Speaker 1: still feel it. It was ninety seven two seamer and
Speaker 1: it was opening day, maybe two thousand and three. I
Speaker 1: tried a bunt and then the ball went foul. And
Speaker 1: one pier always told me said, hey, man, if you
Speaker 1: try to bunt off Randy, he's like the Nolan Ryan guy,
Speaker 1: where if you bunt, you better make it fair because
Speaker 1: if you don't, the next one's going to be near ribs.
Speaker 1: And I swear, Dandy it was like he's up there
Speaker 1: with this big black glove right under his eyes, and
Speaker 1: you got that visual and I think it was. I
Speaker 1: swear it was like the top gun radar lock right
Speaker 1: on my ribs and I could just sent it and
Speaker 1: then it was a heat sixteen ninety seven two steamer
Speaker 1: just running right into my rib that's Dave Roberts, the
Speaker 1: Dodger manager, Randy Johnson, the big unit joining us on
Speaker 1: the program. Why was it offensive if somebody tried to
Speaker 1: bunt on you. I'm not aware of that at all, Dan,
Speaker 1: because it isn't that the ultimate compliment to you, Randy,
Speaker 1: I can't hit you. I might be able to bunt
Speaker 1: to get on but you and Nolan Ryan took it personally. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure. I'm not sure of you know,
Speaker 1: Nolan's reasons. And you know, there was a lot of
Speaker 1: people that buntered off me uh um, and maybe that
Speaker 1: was you know, they were doing the best that they
Speaker 1: could do, uh to use their ability to get on base.
Speaker 1: I guess I just I didn't see it anyway other
Speaker 1: than you know, I was just gonna make it tough
Speaker 1: for you to get on basse, regarless of whether you
Speaker 1: were swinging the batter button. Do you remember hitting Dave Roberts.
Speaker 1: I don't, but but I'm sure your engineers could probably
Speaker 1: look up how many batters I hit, and I and
Speaker 1: and I think it's a legit question. I think there's
Speaker 1: I'm close to being at the top of hit batters
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. Well, you did pitch to your
Speaker 1: forty five, so you're gonna hit a few? How many?
Speaker 1: How many did Unit hit Polly? He had one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety, but he really peaked in ninety two ninety
Speaker 1: three when he led the league and hit batsman. There
Speaker 1: you go. Did you ever feel sorry for somebody? You
Speaker 1: hit my mom? You a father's son, a mother's son.
Speaker 1: Game you you plunk your mom at whiffleball in the back.
Speaker 1: You are one summer? It was, it was a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, actually, and your mom's six ten as well,
Speaker 1: so and she's ninety four. What could you give me? Now?
Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna be what fifty nine coming up here?
Speaker 1: Fifty nine? I think fifty nine? And uh, I think
Speaker 1: before we continue any further, I should uh talk about
Speaker 1: the disclosure of anything I say does not represent my employer,
Speaker 1: family or friends. And uh because because today's April first. Okay,
Speaker 1: So with that being said, let's continue now. Okay, if
Speaker 1: you if you got six weeks to get ready, what
Speaker 1: would you what what do you think you could throw?
Speaker 1: What would be your top end? Well, Dan, I've had
Speaker 1: three back surgeries, five knee surgeries, and my last year
Speaker 1: I retired when I was forty six, actually not forty five,
Speaker 1: and with San Francisco, and I actually tore my rotator
Speaker 1: cuff and I never had surgery. I just kind of
Speaker 1: let it scar over, if you will. So I'm not
Speaker 1: really sure how effective I would be or how scary
Speaker 1: I would be out there. I might be a little
Speaker 1: bit vulnerable, not being able to throw ninety five to
Speaker 1: one hundred. What is the motivation to play into your forties?
Speaker 1: You know, we look at Tom Brady, some other athletes,
Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan, I think was forty five. But do you
Speaker 1: remember your your financially set, your legacy is set. What
Speaker 1: is it that keeps you going? Because at that point
Speaker 1: in my career, I was having more fun than I
Speaker 1: had ever had. The expectations weren't quite as great as
Speaker 1: they once were at the peak of my career. And
Speaker 1: now I was more of a mentor if you were
Speaker 1: when I was with San Francisco, Barry Zito, Tim Lindsey, come,
Speaker 1: Matt Caine, Sanchez. That's why they had me come to
Speaker 1: San Francisco so I could be more of a mentor
Speaker 1: and going out there and with the wind at my back,
Speaker 1: at at and t part. Growing ninety one on a
Speaker 1: good day was great. And you know, I was pitching
Speaker 1: to more contact back then and would try to get
Speaker 1: a double play, and for me back then, that was success.
Speaker 1: And I just loved the game. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I might have even tried to play another year had
Speaker 1: I not tore my rotator cuff. But you look at
Speaker 1: your style in today's game, where it's basically do you
Speaker 1: throw it hard? And I swing really hard? Would how
Speaker 1: would your career be different with today's philosophy of hitting
Speaker 1: and pitching. If I was in my prime playing today's game,
Speaker 1: with the way the game's being played today, i'd have
Speaker 1: four hundred strikeouts in a season. In a season, well yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I came close a couple of years in
Speaker 1: the years that I played back then, and people were
Speaker 1: swinging hard back then. But now I think analytics has
Speaker 1: really taken over, and in some ways it's it's a
Speaker 1: very important part of the game, But I don't think
Speaker 1: it's really important to know what the extra velocity was.
Speaker 1: I know when I'm sixty feet six inches away from
Speaker 1: the hitter and I give up a home run, I
Speaker 1: know by the crack of the bat and the velocity
Speaker 1: the ball is going over my head nine out of
Speaker 1: ten times. I know when it's a home run. I
Speaker 1: don't need to know. You know what? The extra velocity
Speaker 1: was one hundred and twenty five miles an hour. What
Speaker 1: was that sound like when you know that you've given
Speaker 1: up a home run? Uh? The face on the baseball,
Speaker 1: you know those old cartoons that you used to see,
Speaker 1: When the face on the baseball's going by you screaming,
Speaker 1: it's like warped, it's like going, yeah, exactly. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: there was a few of those hormones that I gave
Speaker 1: up that were like the well mcguires, that was a bomb.
Speaker 1: But yeah, do you even turn around when you give
Speaker 1: up that home run? I don't even remember. No, we
Speaker 1: were we were teammates at USC and it was in
Speaker 1: the Kingdome, and uh, I actually actually struck out nineteen
Speaker 1: in that game. I struck out nineteen in that game,
Speaker 1: and uh, and I was remember and we lost the game.
Speaker 1: And he hit that proliptic home run. And when he
Speaker 1: rounded the bases and he got into the old Kingdome
Speaker 1: they're up in Seattle. He sat in the doorway right
Speaker 1: between the benches, and I kind of saw him, and
Speaker 1: I just gave him a tip of the hat and
Speaker 1: he gave me one back. And you know, that was
Speaker 1: a friendship that we had being old teammates from college. Yep,
Speaker 1: that's just I got it. I'm gonna throw it. You
Speaker 1: swing if you hit it, good for you. I knew
Speaker 1: the extra velocity was pretty good. Your name came up
Speaker 1: yesterday we had Barkeley on and Barkley we thought was
Speaker 1: going to welcome us to his home during Super Bowl
Speaker 1: week in Arizona, and then we find out we're only
Speaker 1: there for a morning. We don't get to go in
Speaker 1: the house, and I go, Damn, I should reach out
Speaker 1: to Randy Johnson. You know you would be more hospitable
Speaker 1: than Barkley. This is exactly what I heard, Dan, This
Speaker 1: is what I heard in this and I'm so glad
Speaker 1: that we've connected because I do want to be a host.
Speaker 1: In fact, have a cigar from the White House, exactly
Speaker 1: a humid or from the White House. Wow, look at this,
Speaker 1: there's the open door policy. How big? How big is

Speaker 1: welcome att and the red carpet. Charles didn't decide to
Speaker 1: do that. I have no idea he's not as generous
Speaker 1: as you. And then he said something about how I'm
Speaker 1: not so friendly. I don't know where that came from.
Speaker 1: I've been retired for eleven years. There might have been
Speaker 1: a point in your career where you weren't friendly, Randy.
Speaker 1: There might have been might have been yeah one game day.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I oh, I found that out the hard way. Um. Hey,
