Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio, day number.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Three in the Big Share. I don't know. I called
it a meathead Monday. I called it a Tucker Tuesday.
I don't have a whole lot for a Wednesday, although
we do have Vince will Fork on the show later
to talk about his partnership with Jason Kelsey and Kingsford.
So between me and will Fork, maybe it's a wide
(00:27):
body Wednesday. I know what it definitely is. It's an
NBA Wednesday after two days of primarily talking about hockey,
which I don't know if that's ever happened on this
show before I'll start with that, PAULI, has that ever
happened where the primary topic two days in a row
was hockey.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
In this show's history? Yes, yeah, you'd have to go
back to like remember years ago there was that incident
with the Colorado the player at Colorado hit someone in
the head. I can't remember the guy's name. For Tuesdy,
that Bertusie topic I remember was like a week on
the show. Wow, that's a long time ago. Todd Bertuzzi
could call good pull. Yeah, but that but that's about it.
(01:09):
That's about it.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
But I thought hockey deservingly.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
So the last two days, great couple of days. The
storylines on the parade, by the way, is Sunday nice,
Sunday prede. You should have gone Saturday. I think if
you're of.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
The Florida Panthers, Hey, I don't really understand.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
That Sunday prey when you got to work the next day?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, what's up with that? Maybe that's by design.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Oh, to temper the parade.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
But I don't think it's gone. I think people are
just gonna call in sick. People are just gonna say
they can't come to work the next day. So anyway,
after two days where the primary topic here on the
Dan Patrick Show was the NHL, we're getting to the association.
It's a big NBA day for a couple different reasons.
Number One, the NBA Draft is tonight, and this has
(01:53):
got to be the least talked about NBA draft of
my lifetime. I'm forty five years old. I used to
get together with my buddies we would watch the NBA Draft.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I used to.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Know every guy that went in the first round. I
used to get fired up when Dwayne Shintsis got drafted
twenty sixth out of Florida because he had an amazing mullet.
I mean even second rounders were guys that were really
good college basketball players that we knew about. Were like, Wow,
(02:26):
can you believe he didn't go till the second round.
We're gonna play this game next segment. I have a
buddy who's like die hard college basketball fan, my buddy Paul,
and he bets a lot on college basketball. We went
through the projected lottery picks. I think he knew five
(02:46):
of the fourteen projected lottery picks. Five. I'm gonna guess
that the dan Nets combined will know less than five.
Although I think you guys, you know yesterday and this
morning you've kind of been researching a little bit. It's
a little bit different thoughts, Paulie.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I know what you're saying, because like last year is
when min Yama, everyone knew about him. He'd been talked
about for years. Now you have two guys who were
one was born in France, but he plays in Australia,
but he was playing in Atlanta this year, so that's confusing.
And he's a defensive stopper, which doesn't really excite people.
You got to go to like some random college basketball
players and someone were like twenty one years old, some
(03:24):
were nineteen.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
It's it's wild because I didn't feel like watching March
Madness that the players weren't good like I love the
NC State Big Guy. I mean, I love March Madness.
This year I thought it was great. It's really interesting,
isn't it. It's like, no matter how many guys go
to like the G League, or are international, or go
(03:49):
to overtime or whatever, it doesn't really affect my enjoyment
of the Ncell Bay Tournament. Just give me pretty good
basketball players wearing thems, give me the cheerleaders, the band,
and then have the fans in the stands cheering for
their alma mater. I don't really care if they're a
(04:10):
good NBA prospector or not. Marv.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I think it also hurts that the National Player of
the Year might be a late first round, if not
second round pick. And Zach Edy from Purdue, so it
was the guy that was the best player in college basketball,
and he's nowhere to be found in the lottery or
projected to be.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
He's not projected to be a lottery pick. I have
heard the name, seen the name, and talked about Zach
edy dozens of times over the last three years. I've
never heard of some of these guys that are gonna
be the top three picks. Isn't that wild? I mean,
it has just changed so much. Seton, were you gonna
say something.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Three or four like the top ten players are from France?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Is that right of the now? We can't play the
game because you guys are clearly doing research.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
If you know that, usually we don't to be fair,
don't do any research at the show.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Hey, here's what I know. I am really looking forward
to not only talking about the NBA draft and some
Brownie strategy, as well as the big trade that went
down between the Knicks and the Nets for mckel bridges.
I mean, five first round picks for mckel bridges, the
first trade between the Knicks and the Nets since nineteen
(05:25):
eighty three. That's what I'm looking forward to. From tire

so you check us out on podcasts later, which is awesome.
You can check me out at some point, the Ross
(06:07):
Tucker Football podcast and family of shows. It's been great
the social media interaction from you guys over the last
few days. At DP show on Twitter, I'm at Ross
Tucker NFL. You can always check out our YouTube channel.
Go to Danpatrick dot com eight seven seven to three.
DP show is the phone number? I guess my first
(06:29):
question and this might be a poll question, but this
is a question for the phone number. There is a
question for people on social media and maybe even a
poll question. Are you going to watch the NBA Draft tonight? Now? Listen,
you guys have to do the show tomorrow. I'm out
of here after today, but you guys have to do
the show tomorrow. So let's be honest. If you were
(06:54):
not one of the Dan Nets, if you were not
a producer of the biggest sports talk radio show in
the country. Would you watch tonight's NBA draft, Fritzi.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
I would watch the first few picks, just to see
the opening and how they hype it up. But that
since I don't know these guys and have no emotional
attachment to them, I don't have to worry about booking
any guests or talking about it on national radio and TV.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Maybe the first five pickt or show that I'm out Seaton.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
You know.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
Maybe I'd be curious to see where the Yukon players go. Yeah,
but other I mean, but still, that's not something that you.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Have to watch for. You could just find out, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Yeah, so I am curious to see where like Castle goes,
where Klingon goes. But it's there's not a huge poll
to see who's gonna get that one star.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Player, Marv I'm gonna see and I'm a Yukon guy,
So I would just want to see where the Yukon
plays go. But other than that, it'd be a lot.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Of who PAULI, I think I would watch out of
historical obligation to the draft. You know, it's just such
a tradition for me to watch it. I do wouldn't
say i'd be paying attention to it. It might be
on a TV while there's a baseball game on another TV,
and I'm like, oh, there's a look Isaiah Collier got drafted,
you know, like I remember him a little bit. Where
(08:13):
did Donovan Klinging go? And maybe I can learn about
some of the foreign born players and what their background
is because it's there's a lot of unknown. So yeah,
I'm more of an out of obligation than real.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So, but I feel like for me, it's almost the opposite.
I would want to watch to see the highlight clips
of these guys I've never heard of. You know. That
used to be my favorite part of the NFL draft
is back before like social media and back before you
could go on Instagram or TikTok and watch highlights of
(08:45):
all these guys. I remember distinctly my sophomore year of college.
We got a couple of thirty packs of maybe like
Natty Light or something nice nice, and we watched the
nineteen ninety nine NFL Draft in my dorm room two
eleven Gus Hall, biggest room on campus by the way,
(09:06):
it slept eleven eleven, and I had all the guys
come over watching it, and the Tampa Bay Bucks drafted
this dtack allowed to LSU named Anthony Booger McFarland, and
the year before, Matt Burke had gotten drafted out of
Harvard by the Vikings. I thought, well, heck, I got drafted,
maybe I can get a shot. I watched a highlight
(09:29):
video of Booger McFarland at a three hundred pound nose tackle,
chasing down running backs sideline to sideline, and we all
looked at each other in absolute awe and I remember thinking, yeah,
there's no way I would ever be able to play
in the NFL. But my point is, it used to
be one of the coolest things about the draft was
(09:51):
the highlight packages they put together on these guys, both
NFL and NBA draft. Is that still the same? I
mean it is for me because these guys tonight, the
France guys or whatever, I have never seen them play.
I didn't hear I'm trying to remember the first time
I heard about Wemby and the first time someone posted
(10:12):
Wemby clips last year on on social media, and I
was like, oh, my gosh, of course I'm talking about
I think everybody knows Victor Weben Yama from the Spurs
but they it was like last February, maybe last March.
I never even heard of the guy. And then on
social media, I'm scrolling and I see this seven to
(10:34):
four guy like draining threes, looking like he can really
handle the ball. That's the coolest part about tonight to
me is watching the highlight clips of these guys. Paul.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, the European players as well, especially because you haven't
seen much on them before they're playing internationally. I'm looking
back at a clip from the nineteen ninety eight draft
and I can remember watching that one. Specifically, Mar helped
me out here. Did Milwaukee take our Milwaukee Dallas with
Robert Trector trailer Michigan? Yeah, dude, and they traded him
straight up for Dirk Noavitsky right during or after the draft?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Correct? Remember was like, what, You're trading tractor trailer for
this guy from Germany?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, but I could. I'm looking at the Navisky highlights.
It's classic drk Nooviski. He's seven foot, he's playing outside.
I'm like, wow, look at this guy. This guy's something,
but nobody knew. They didn't pronounce his name. They called
him Nowitzki during the draft, not Novitzky. I don't even
if that's right, but they were calling two different names
on the pronunciation watching the old video.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
So that's one of my questions this morning is whether
or not you're going to watch tonight's NBA Draft. I mean,
what did it say about the NBA Draft that the
Knicks just traded five first round picks for Michael Bridges. Now, listen,
I love Michel Bridges. You know, he's an Eastern PA guy.
I think he went to Great Valley High School. Maybe
(11:52):
I had a good playoff run, went to Nova, and
now he's with the next. Gimme Marv, because I know
that you're probably in the NBA as much as anybody.
Give me your breakdown of what of a difference this
makes for the next Now, I mean, I know he's
a really good player, but he's also not like this
is not like a star player, right, No, no, no,
(12:12):
he's not.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
But he's he's a guy that on any given night
he can give you twenty five to thirty a night
if he gets hot.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
But he's one of them.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Not every night yet, no, no, but he's a guy
that doesn't need the ball to be effective during the game,
like he was on the Phoenix Suns to the NBA
Finals a couple years ago and against the Bucks. And
so he's like a three and D guy, Jalen Brunson's
gonna penetrate in the lane and find him wide open.
And he's another, like you said, another Villanova guy. So
those guys know each other. They already have that camaraderie
(12:41):
in chemistry. I think chemistry is kind of underrated in
the NBA sometimes. And if you know somebody's game, you
know where they're gonna be. And he knows his role.
In the NBA, you have to have a role. He
knows his role, and they know who the star is.
They know Jalen Brunst is the guy with the ball
in his hands, and you have him Hart de Vincenzo. Guys,
they don't necessarily need the ball to kind of, you know,
(13:04):
create their own shot. They can just kind of stand
there three and D guys.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
So it worked. And by the way, those three guys
you just named, Marv, none of them were like top five,
top ten picks. None of them were thought of as
like this guy is gonna be a great NBA player,
and now they are, Like Jalen Brunson was he even
a first round but like he was not considered like
a great prospect.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
He was considered a great college player who may be
a role player in the pros.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
So maybe that says something about tonight. Mckail.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Bridges is interesting because when he was a Phoenix, he
was really making a name for himself. He was second
for Defensive Player of the Year. That was just two
and a half years ago. He was averaging twenty six
points a game at one point two seasons ago. But
Jalen Brunston needs all to help him get you're getting
Michale Bridges at twenty seven, not twenty two, and not
thirty two, right in his prime as an NBA player.
(13:55):
So he's gonna help you tomorrow if you're the Knicks,
if you're a Knicks fan.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
So there's a couple other this, and Marv kind of
hinted at it. Any guy I've ever talked to you
about the NBA, like a coach or front office person
or player, the number one thing they say, it's really
important that the players like playing with each other, really important.
And these guys are all like very close friends from
(14:22):
college who won a national championship together at Villanova. By
the way, I don't think I've ever seen this. Can
you guys think of another team that had this many
players from one college at the same time. Can you
argue that, like the four best players or four of
the six best players for the Knicks are now all
from Villanova Seaton.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
You know it's so interesting too, because what you were
talking about yesterday about the bond that people have when
they win a championship, right, you were just talking about
high school guys. You're not really buddies, but when you
see each other your brothers, Yeah, you know, and now
put that into an NBA team pretty pretty wild.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You know, they're just missing one thing now, right, Jay
Wright special special consultant, I mean hilarious. Let's just put
this way. If things don't go well with the Knicks
this year with Tibbs, I mean, it's either Danny Hurley
time or Jay Wright time, right, I mean, it's one
(15:24):
of those two guys.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
You played for the Patriots. Remember that run where Belichick
was drafting guys from.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Rutgers That was after me.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
But yeah, they had a run of like seven Rutgers players.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I think I might have played for the only team
that can rival the Knicks, the Nova Knicks. Look this up.
Who's our who's our research guy? The two thousand and
two Washington Redskins. That was the name of the team
back then. Steve Sproyer was the head coach. He brought
in Danny Whirfol, Shane Matthews. What's the guy's name? I
(15:59):
kill your jah Ques Green, Robert Gillespie. I think we
had another Florida receiver. He We had two Florida quarterbacks
at Chris Doring. Chris Doring. We had two Florida quarterbacks
at least floor four Florida receivers, of Florida running back.
(16:21):
I had never seen anything like it in my life.
We were like the Florida Redskins. It was unbelievable, PAULI.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I'm looking at the roster. Yeah, you nailed it. They
have a bunch of Florida dudes. Even a couple of
guys on defense. That's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That might have been the only team I remember that
tried that tactic.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Didn't work out too well, No, it didn't work out,
not even close.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Several of those guys got cut, I think, and they
were not very productive. All right, So we're gonna play
this game when we come back I'm gonna, first of all,
go ahead and check out social media at Ross Tucker
NFL as well as at DP show to see whether
or not you guys are gonna watch tonight's NBA Draft.
Here's what we got. Next hour, we got Jonathan Givennie,
(17:08):
the ESPN NBA draft analyst. He'll actually tell us maybe
it's Givoni. Let's trying givoni. There you go, Okay, Givoni.
By the way, Fritzy even gave me the pronunciation. It's
give dash oh dash Nie. I went what I said,
I said, give Annie, it's Givoni. Givony. Sorry, Jonathan, anyway,
(17:30):
we're having him on the show. I'm not that sorry.
We're having him on the show. We're gonna talk to him.
At ten twenty am Eastern, we got former teammate of
mine and former adversary, Vince will Fork. That was a
hard guy to block. That was a hard guy to block.
Eleven twenty am Eastern time, we got to get into
the Jags and the Panthers are both getting new stadiums.
(17:53):
The text A and M baseball coach is I'll just
say it. He's left now to go to Texas, and
he's kind of a piece of crap. We'll play that audio.
We'll explain why a little bit later. It's my wife's birthday.
Happy birthday to my wife.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Happy birthdays.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Absolutely probably not watching or listening, but we'll get into
the fact that she let me do the show today,
let me go to the Kelsey guest bartending later today
without having to be with her for her birthday, which
is part of the reason why she's awesome. The Rockets
and Nets trade. We're just getting started. Give me a
fun morning here nineteen minutes past the hour on the
(18:27):

Hey, what's up everybody?
Speaker 9 (18:41):
It's me three time pro bowler LeVar Rington, and I
couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up
on Game?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
What is Up on Game?
Speaker 9 (18:49):
You add along with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Huschman,
Zada and Super Bowl champion Yep, that's right, Plexico Burris.

lebar Arrington, TJ. Hutchman's Ouda and Plexico Burrs on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast from.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Checking out some of the interaction from you guys on
social media at DP show at Ross Tucker NFL. Tim
Engelhart says, I was in camp with you that year
with the Redskins. Redell Anthony was on the team too.
I think Riddell might have gotten cut. I can't remember.
Braden Hutchins is gonna watch the draft because I'm curious
(19:45):
to see how high Brownie goes. Isn't that amazing? Isn't
that amazing that a guy that's projected to go Day
two is the number one reason why people are gonna
tune into the draft? Brownie games, of course, the son
of Lebron James. Isn't it weird, guys that the first
(20:07):
year they have a two day NBA Draft, The first
rounds tonight, the second rounds tomorrow night. Is the year,
the only year I can ever remember where a guy
going in the second round is more interesting potentially than
the entire first round. That cannot be a quinc Quintin's
are by design? Do you think I'm a little dubious
about that?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Well, but they announced it more than months ago. It
wasn't like a week and a half ago they announced
they were going to do another round on I wonder
if they kind of had it in their back pockets, say,
if we're ever going to drop it and make it
get a decent rating, this is year to do it.
They probably anticipated Bronni James coming out and it was
probably in their in their meeting. You know, they see
what the NBA has done by expanding the draft, and
(20:49):
NFL is done.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
This is interesting. By the way, I don't even know
what this guy's handle means, snide man cometh, but he says,
how about the sixth Georgia Bulldogs on the team you
work for? Ross the Eagles. It's a really good point.
There's a lot of Georgia Bulldogs on the Philadelphia Eagles
right now. They've been drafting them every year. And then
(21:11):
c Wade three says, I'm an Atlanta Hawks fan, so
having the number one pick, I'm definitely watching the draft tonight,
but only like for the first five picks. If it
wasn't for that with the lack of known guys, there
is no way I'd be watching how much is this stink?
By the way, if you're a Hawks fan, the one
(21:33):
year you get the number one overall pick, it's guys
we've never heard of that aren't supposed to be that good.
I mean, you could have had Wemby last year if
you had last year's There's a lot of years where
you get the number one pick and you're like, we're
getting Zion, We're getting Wemby. This year it's we're getting
who Fritzy.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
I think you gotta hang your hat on a hold
out hope that sometimes, just like in other drafts, someone
that gets picked that you wouldn't think would become any becomes.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
A great player or a superstar.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Someone that you think has the name and it is
supposed to do something great ends up being a bust.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
So you really never know for sure what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Well, and listen, I mean the two best players for
the Celtics neither one of those guys exter Second Tatum
and Jalen Brown. By the way, they both went after
picks made by my sixers. Just unbelievable. I think the
Sixers instead took Markel Foltz, and I can't remember the
(22:29):
other he traded up for him instead of taking Jalen
Brown or Jason Tatum. So, like always, they don't really know.
Let's get to the pole question seton what are you thinking?
You know what? Exciting day?
Speaker 8 (22:40):
Todd's actually sent over a plethora of pole questions, several.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Okay, do you want me to ask Todd Todd, what
do you got?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Which we just kind of asked how much NBA draft
are you.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Tuning in for tonight? All most a peak none was
one of the thoughts. By acquiring Michale Bridges from Brooklyn,
the Knicks will now win the Eastern Conference when the
NBA title be about the same.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Somehow take a step backwards too many Nova guys, question Mark, no,
my god, go backwards many Nova guys.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
Then we had one fun one quickly because of Vince
Wilfork joining us, and he's a big dude. Would you
gain an excessive unhealthy amount of weight for a lucrative position.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Or role as an actor or an athlete? Absolutely not
a chance.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Ooh, that's an interesting question, just to get that.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Movie role of TV gig or that sports that position
on the football field or whatever. But you have to
put on weight that's going to probably jeopardize your healthful,
it'll make you certainly less healthy.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Are you asking first of all that you could put
on fifty pounds and all of a sudden being an
NFL player is comical? Okay? So I think you have
to have the talent. I don't have to put it
down a little bit better. Like it's not like, oh,
just eat a lot, get big like Vince Wilfork. Vince
Wilfork was an believable athlete for his size. Unbelievable, Pauli.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Okay, based off what Fritzy is saying, real quick, before
we get to the NBA. If let's say Adam Sandler,
Will Ferrell came in here and offered one of the
Danettes or you know guys who are not used to
being acting in real roles, a real role in a
movie where it has like multiple lines, but you had
to either put on sixty pounds or lose.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Thirty How much money are you getting like.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
A real acting role in a Sandler movie. We probably
make a couple hundred grand or something. I mean, let's
say it's a hundred grand and you get a real
role say.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
It's one hundred thousand dollars and you have to gain
fifty pounds. Yeah, Fritzier, you're doing it.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
I don't think so if you have to, I'm talking
about like extremes like you gotta either go be very
obese or gaunt like like Paulie was saying, you got either.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I'm saying fifty pounds is a lot, Fritzy.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Yeah, I think if it's when you're talking about a
lot trying to gain or lose a lot of weight
in a short period of time.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I don't know if i'd want, certainly more than one
hundred thousand dollars. I think we got to it was
several hundred thousand dollars to catch my interest seating.
Speaker 8 (25:04):
This is hilarious to me, this whole thing. Uh Man,
got your answer. I'm just doing my best. Yeah, of
course I would. I mean if that was my job
and that's what I was gonna do, Yeah, yeah, I would.
I would put on weight, I would lose weight, I
would do whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Know what. You know what, Uh, first, you don't allow
of those guys just take steroids. You could just take
steroids that would help.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
You could, But I'm talking about what if you're at
an age where it's not so easy to lose.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Oh, we'll just get your train and you'll go right
back to shape.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
What exactly where we talk about Todd? Every time somebody answers,
it's still not good enough. It's like no, no, no, I
mean like a lot of weight, like not like fifty
pounds isn't a lot of weight?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Dude, What if you're in your If I lost.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Fifty pounds right now, I'd be one hundred and thirty
five pounds. That's an incredible amount of weight, Marv.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, I put on weight for no money now.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
So that's like the whole thing that's hilarious about this.
It's like what we've.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
All fluctuated, What are we doing now?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Then?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I think it'd be it'd be an awesome experience. It'd
be a tough experience to either lose forty or put
on fifty.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
The putting on would be Oh, I bet it'd be brutal.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
After footing on is a lot easier than taking of.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, but I bet it's all a lot easier. A
bit disgusting, like you're but like the experience of being
in a movie with a real role and getting actually
paid for it, and the weight loss thing for a
one time where there'd be a great experience.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I could put on fifty pounds quick, oh before the
next segment. I work out like twice a day, and
I eat pretty decent, and I still am like staying
at the same place. If I just stopped working out
and started eating the way I'd like to eat, that
would not take me that long. I could do that,
all right, So that good. Poll questions, Fritzy, the Villanova Nicks.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Step backwards if I'm getting Bridges that were worse Nicks.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
All right, But here's what game I want to play. Okay,
I'm gonna name a projected NBA lottery pick. You tell
me what country they're from, what position they play, maybe.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Just something about them.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yeah, tell me something about them. We'll start with the
projected number one pick according to the mock most common drafts,
Zachary Resacker. No idea, that's his real last name, Fritzy.
That would be a Belarus forward, Belarus forward, wrong seaton?
(27:40):
Do I want to take from France? He is from France? Anything,
marv he's a center?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Nope, all I had was France.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
He's from France. He's six ' nine, and he's a
guard forward.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Congratulations.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Centers even really exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Number two Alexander Saar to the Washington Wizards, set hour forward.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
From also from France.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think power forward might be right. He's a forward center,
so I'll give you that one, Marv. He's a seven
footer stretch four. Oh you already know this. I know
this guy. Yeah, there's one guy I know, Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
PAULI, I know a little bit about him. I think
it's star with two rs. I think he's from France,
but he plays in Australia and he's more of a
defensive stopper.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Oh, he's from France too.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I think he's France.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
The top two picks in the NBA draft are going
to be from France.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
I just said he's from France.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Confirmed.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
No, my information says Perth, Austria.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I think he's been playing in Perth.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I believe you seton, but I'm just going by what
this thing says.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Sorry, I thought you'd have the information ready for your game.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
No, No, I'm really just going Sorry.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
I thought when you said I have a game, I'm
gonna ask you guys.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
I thought that meant you had the information in front
of you.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Hey, so I kind of know these next two guys,
so we'll skip over him. Reed Shepherd, the guard from Kentucky, sneaky.
That is wild, by the way. That is six to
guard from Kentucky is gonna be the third pick in
the draft.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
More athotics than he appears.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, well he's the first guy in the last guy out.
Coach him.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
His dad played a Kentucky Jeff Shepherd. He had some hops.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Oh I remember Jeff Shepherd, food ball player. Gosh, that
makes me feel old. Okay, we know that guy. Wow,
we got two more college basketball players. Number four Stephen
Castle from Yukon, so obviously Seaton and Marv know him well.
Sixty six guard freshman, Number five Donovan Klinging. What do
(29:49):
they call him? Kling Kong?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
You do?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
That's right? Seven to I know him from Bristol. All right,
let's get back to the guys we don't Okay, the
number six guy, Fritzy Mattas boozellis what team did he
play for last year? Give me anything about him.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
He's a Croatian shot blocker who played briefly at Northwestern.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
It's a safe guess, safe guess, very small.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
He was in the journalism program with the Wildcats.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
So I don't. He's a big forward with shooting touch.
He played for G League Ignite. He's six ' nine.
I have no idea what country he's from. Anybody, No,
Mattas boozellis all right. The next was this guy. Oh,
this guy was a college basketball player. I don't know
much about him.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Oh, Matas his hometown is Chicago, Illinois. Really, that's what
it says.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Matas boozellis. Yeah. Cody Williams. Who knows Cody Williams? Anyone? Anyone?
Cody Williams is a college basketball player freshman last year
for Colorado, six ' seven forward.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Oh, his brother is Jana Williams from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
That is correct. I know this next guy, Dalton connect
From from Tennessee Gunner. Wow, he's a senior. Ye he
is a when the last time a top ten pick
was going to be a senior college basketball player.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
It's wild. He's an anomaly. He just put on a
show during the second half of the season for Tennessee.
Could shoot from anywhere, A big, strong kid. For him
to go into lottery's nuts.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
He's kind of a loner with this teammates that's what
I heard.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I could do him save the gold.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Thank you, Todd PAULI. The number nine pick to Jane Salon.
I have no idea how to pronounce these guys names,
Absolutely no idea. Okay, he's pretected to go to number nine.
What team did he play for last year? Where is
he from?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Isn't apostrophe in his name?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Anywhere? There's no apostrophe?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
It helps.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
It's to Jane Salon. I d j A n E
s A l a u n.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
That also sounds lightly French.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I think you might be right.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I'm gonna I'm gonna say Northern European, Eastern European shole basket.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
He's a six ' nine forward show lay basket. Sounds
French to me, I have no idea. Eighteen year old
projects as a rangy switchable defender. Confirmed, get me excited. Yeah,
he's a switchable defender. He's a Sagam top ten. He's
a switchable defender. He's almost nineteen years old. He is
from France.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
His name's actually basket. That's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
No, that's the team he played for. All right, Number
ten pick Devin Carter. Everybody know Devin Carter from Providence.
That's right, Okay, Marv knows him. Yeah, you kind of
used to beat up on those guys. Six to two
Guard two. Now number eleven, Nicola Topic. You gotta know
something about his name is Nicola. He's from Texas.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
I'm not mistaken, all right, Fritzy, do you know where
he's from.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
That would be a Serbian big man, yes, correct.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
No, he's a guard. He's six ' six, he's guard.
I'll give it to you though. It helps if their
names like Nicola, that helps quite a bit.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
And you're Nicola Topic, you go in the first round.
When you're Nick Topic, you're a late second round draft.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
All right. Number twelve, Ron Holland the second anybody know
anything about Ron?
Speaker 6 (33:31):
The team manager?
Speaker 3 (33:32):
You're making that guy.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Out six ' seven Athletics swingman, held his own in
the G League. Let's take him. He held his own
in the G League. Let's take him the league ignite.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
He's from Dallas, Texas.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
This is crazy. The next guy, we only got two
more left. The next guy, Robert Dillingham, Oh, Kentucky, Yeah,
six ' one. Like the college guys from Kentucky are
six one and six ' two that are NBA lottery.
Speaker 6 (34:01):

you know anything about him as a player? No, I
(34:24):
just love the name freshman from Baylor. I'm just telling
you guys right now, and I know it's my sport.
I could tell you something about the first three rounds
of NFL drafts. The first three round this is wild.
We gotta get to the play of the day, but
also get some of your thoughts at eight seven, seven
to three DP show on tonight's NBA Draft, Are you
(34:48):
gonna watch? Yes or No? And why? And plus does
Michel Bridges put the knicks over the top? Forty one
minutes past the hour here on The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wap.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Oh My God.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Of the Day, God of the Day.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Check the shaft.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
First one, the bientos is cracked in the air on
a line toward right center.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
It is off.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
The top of the wall and done.
Speaker 9 (35:30):
Fantos hits an absolute laser to right center and hit
the top of the wall and pop into the Yankee
bullpen his second hold none of the night.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Mark Biento's hits his second homer of the night, as
you heard off of Garrett Cole. He let off the
second and fourth innings with home runs, the first player
in the history of the Mets Yankee Subway Series to
hit multiple leadoff homers in the same game. Cole gave
(36:05):
up four home runs in four innings and failed to
strike out a single batter, just the second time in
three hundred and two career starts, Cole has not recorded
at least one strikeout. That is courtesy of the Mets
Radio Network. The Play of the Day is brought to
(36:26):
you by our partners Kings Hawaiian who wants you to
get together with friends and family and enjoy the weekend
by making every Sunday a slider Sunday.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
PAULI, do you see show hey Otani right now in
the National League hitting three twenty leading the league, home
runs twenty four leading the league, and he's just a
couple back in RBI. He's having the best hitting season
of his career, and he hasn't cooled off yet.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I should know this. But he's not pitching right.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Not pitching, not planning to pitch this year. But the
had which they didn't say was Tommy John surgery. It wasn't.
It was some new procedure allowed him to hit this year.
Because if he had true Tommy John surgery, he's not hitting.
He's complete rehab. But whatever it was, which that doctor
out there hasn't given it a name, but he's hitting
(37:17):
better than ever coming off a air quotes procedure for
his elbow.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
You can give us a chance he never pitches again.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
We discussed that about a month and a half ago.
When he started out the season hit like three point
fifty does the Dodgers look at him and say, like, well,
we could just have him as the best hitter in
the game, but we're paying him seven hundred million dollars
to do both. But the pitching again risks the hitter, right,
because if he pitches again and really rips up his elbow,
who knows how much how many more times you go
(37:44):
in there.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
And there they've got a lot of money invested in
that man. Dale in Indiana, by the way, says I'll
watch the draft just to see Bronnie go in the
second round so dp he can get a pie to
the face. That's how interesting this year's draft is to me.
What's the deal? There's a pie?
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Yeah, Dan bet that Bronnie James would be drafted in
round one tonight.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Oh when was this? He just said, this is a
long time ago. Weeks ago, seem okay.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
I don't know, maybe longer than that.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
So, I, by the way, tend to agree with Dan, Like,
why would you not draft Brownie if you have a
late first round pick and try to leverage that asset
that you know is more valuable than these other players
you could draft Fritzy.
Speaker 7 (38:32):
What if you try to leverage that unsuccessfully? You know
you're stuck with the player that you didn't want because
you could try to get cute. I thought you were
going to get some kind of and hold him for
ransom and get something better that you never get.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Didn't lebron say a couple of years ago, he's going
to keep playing until he can play with his son.
I mean he's literally playing just so he can play
with his son. He's I feel like that's a pretty
good leverage.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Yeah, he said that a few years ago, and then
the past couple of years he's kind of stayed away
from the topic. It's more like whatever happens happened, it'd
be great, but whatever happens.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
And I think this is probably why, because he knows
people could lever them potentially. Let's take a call from Karen,
who's in Ohio eight seven seven to three DP show
what's up?
Speaker 4 (39:13):
Karen.
Speaker 10 (39:16):
This is Karen from Ohio Bourbon Drink and cigar smoking.
And I just want to tell you Ross that you
have got to be the one that takes over for
DP he retires, because there is no one who does
it any better than you. And if I have to
listen to Mannics do it, I will not listen anymore.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
All right, Karen, thank you for the compliment. We're not
taking shots anybody else. Just focus on saying how great
I am as opposed to tearing anyone else down more
pro Ross.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Yes, do you like happiness?
Speaker 6 (39:50):
Let's keep it happy? That's me right, you like happiness.
I think that's what you said yesterday. I like happiness,
you know.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
I specifically, guys, is it bad that I don't watch
the news at all? Got to say it all? I
don't watch the news at all, Like something really big
could happen and I would have no idea. You know,
I was watching at the hotel I'm staying at. They
have the news on while I'm having my oatmeal and
(40:17):
my Greek yogurt with lots of granola on it. And
every story is negative, every story. I don't come away
from that feeling good about life. Rating it's like, and
then they found the child, you know, behind the house.
I'm like, what am I watching right now? Why am
(40:39):
I what? We all have choices every day about how
we want to live our life, how we want to
allocate our time. Why do people allocate so much time
to negativity? It seemed like such a poor choice for Ittsy.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
I think you're better off.
Speaker 7 (40:56):
Living in an ignorant bliss, because you're right, if this
one died and this happened, and this one's sick, and
if you eat too much of this, something beds gona happen.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
You gotta have enough of that. But the other thing
is I watched the nightly news every day and everything
is pretty terrible.
Speaker 7 (41:09):
And at the very end they throw in a little
something about an emu that was saved from a lake
or a kid that's selling lemonade for a nice call.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Why do you watch it? Then?
Speaker 4 (41:17):
I'm just I just want to feel like I'm fascinated
by what's going on in the world, and I feel
like I should just know what's going on. Like what
if a bridge collapsed and I didn't know about it,
and I just drove right off the thing because the
bridge was out.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
I think they would have the road block before you.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
But I'm not very bright. I would have just gone.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
I'd go on. I thought our bridge was here. Seeah,
I don't care what's going on in the world. I
just want to be happy and have fun with my
friends and family.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
Good for you?
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Is that so wrong? One hour down, two to go.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio, day number.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Three in the Big Share. I don't know. I called
it a meathead Monday. I called it a Tucker Tuesday.
I don't have a whole lot for a Wednesday, although
we do have Vince will Fork on the show later
to talk about his partnership with Jason Kelsey and Kingsford.
So between me and will Fork, maybe it's a wide
(00:27):
body Wednesday. I know what it definitely is. It's an
NBA Wednesday after two days of primarily talking about hockey,
which I don't know if that's ever happened on this
show before I'll start with that, PAULI, has that ever
happened where the primary topic two days in a row
was hockey.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
In this show's history? Yes, yeah, you'd have to go
back to like remember years ago there was that incident
with the Colorado the player at Colorado hit someone in
the head. I can't remember the guy's name. For Tuesdy,
that Bertusie topic I remember was like a week on
the show. Wow, that's a long time ago. Todd Bertuzzi
could call good pull. Yeah, but that but that's about it.
(01:09):
That's about it.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
But I thought hockey deservingly.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
So the last two days, great couple of days. The
storylines on the parade, by the way, is Sunday nice,
Sunday prede. You should have gone Saturday. I think if
you're of.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
The Florida Panthers, Hey, I don't really understand.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
That Sunday prey when you got to work the next day?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, what's up with that? Maybe that's by design.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Oh, to temper the parade.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
But I don't think it's gone. I think people are
just gonna call in sick. People are just gonna say
they can't come to work the next day. So anyway,
after two days where the primary topic here on the
Dan Patrick Show was the NHL, we're getting to the association.
It's a big NBA day for a couple different reasons.
Number One, the NBA Draft is tonight, and this has
(01:53):
got to be the least talked about NBA draft of
my lifetime. I'm forty five years old. I used to
get together with my buddies we would watch the NBA Draft.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I used to.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Know every guy that went in the first round. I
used to get fired up when Dwayne Shintsis got drafted
twenty sixth out of Florida because he had an amazing mullet.
I mean even second rounders were guys that were really
good college basketball players that we knew about. Were like, Wow,
(02:26):
can you believe he didn't go till the second round.
We're gonna play this game next segment. I have a
buddy who's like die hard college basketball fan, my buddy Paul,
and he bets a lot on college basketball. We went
through the projected lottery picks. I think he knew five
(02:46):
of the fourteen projected lottery picks. Five. I'm gonna guess
that the dan Nets combined will know less than five.
Although I think you guys, you know yesterday and this
morning you've kind of been researching a little bit. It's
a little bit different thoughts, Paulie.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I know what you're saying, because like last year is
when min Yama, everyone knew about him. He'd been talked
about for years. Now you have two guys who were
one was born in France, but he plays in Australia,
but he was playing in Atlanta this year, so that's confusing.
And he's a defensive stopper, which doesn't really excite people.
You got to go to like some random college basketball
players and someone were like twenty one years old, some
(03:24):
were nineteen.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
It's it's wild because I didn't feel like watching March
Madness that the players weren't good like I love the
NC State Big Guy. I mean, I love March Madness.
This year I thought it was great. It's really interesting,
isn't it. It's like, no matter how many guys go
to like the G League, or are international, or go
(03:49):
to overtime or whatever, it doesn't really affect my enjoyment
of the Ncell Bay Tournament. Just give me pretty good
basketball players wearing thems, give me the cheerleaders, the band,
and then have the fans in the stands cheering for
their alma mater. I don't really care if they're a
(04:10):
good NBA prospector or not. Marv.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I think it also hurts that the National Player of
the Year might be a late first round, if not
second round pick. And Zach Edy from Purdue, so it
was the guy that was the best player in college basketball,
and he's nowhere to be found in the lottery or
projected to be.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
He's not projected to be a lottery pick. I have
heard the name, seen the name, and talked about Zach
edy dozens of times over the last three years. I've
never heard of some of these guys that are gonna
be the top three picks. Isn't that wild? I mean,
it has just changed so much. Seton, were you gonna
say something.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Three or four like the top ten players are from France?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Is that right of the now? We can't play the
game because you guys are clearly doing research.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
If you know that, usually we don't to be fair,
don't do any research at the show.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Hey, here's what I know. I am really looking forward
to not only talking about the NBA draft and some
Brownie strategy, as well as the big trade that went
down between the Knicks and the Nets for mckel bridges.
I mean, five first round picks for mckel bridges, the
first trade between the Knicks and the Nets since nineteen
(05:25):
eighty three. That's what I'm looking forward to. From tire

a producer of the biggest sports talk radio show in
the country. Would you watch tonight's NBA draft, Fritzi.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
I would watch the first few picks, just to see
the opening and how they hype it up. But that
since I don't know these guys and have no emotional
attachment to them, I don't have to worry about booking
any guests or talking about it on national radio and TV.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Maybe the first five pickt or show that I'm out Seaton.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
You know.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
Maybe I'd be curious to see where the Yukon players go. Yeah,
but other I mean, but still, that's not something that you.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Have to watch for. You could just find out, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Yeah, so I am curious to see where like Castle goes,
where Klingon goes. But it's there's not a huge poll
to see who's gonna get that one star.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Player, Marv I'm gonna see and I'm a Yukon guy,
So I would just want to see where the Yukon
plays go. But other than that, it'd be a lot.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Of who PAULI, I think I would watch out of
historical obligation to the draft. You know, it's just such
a tradition for me to watch it. I do wouldn't
say i'd be paying attention to it. It might be
on a TV while there's a baseball game on another TV,
and I'm like, oh, there's a look Isaiah Collier got drafted,
you know, like I remember him a little bit. Where
(08:13):
did Donovan Klinging go? And maybe I can learn about
some of the foreign born players and what their background
is because it's there's a lot of unknown. So yeah,
I'm more of an out of obligation than real.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So, but I feel like for me, it's almost the opposite.
I would want to watch to see the highlight clips
of these guys I've never heard of. You know. That
used to be my favorite part of the NFL draft
is back before like social media and back before you
could go on Instagram or TikTok and watch highlights of
(08:45):
all these guys. I remember distinctly my sophomore year of college.
We got a couple of thirty packs of maybe like
Natty Light or something nice nice, and we watched the
nineteen ninety nine NFL Draft in my dorm room two
eleven Gus Hall, biggest room on campus by the way,
(09:06):
it slept eleven eleven, and I had all the guys
come over watching it, and the Tampa Bay Bucks drafted
this dtack allowed to LSU named Anthony Booger McFarland, and
the year before, Matt Burke had gotten drafted out of
Harvard by the Vikings. I thought, well, heck, I got drafted,
maybe I can get a shot. I watched a highlight
(09:29):
video of Booger McFarland at a three hundred pound nose tackle,
chasing down running backs sideline to sideline, and we all
looked at each other in absolute awe and I remember thinking, yeah,
there's no way I would ever be able to play
in the NFL. But my point is, it used to
be one of the coolest things about the draft was
(09:51):
the highlight packages they put together on these guys, both
NFL and NBA draft. Is that still the same? I
mean it is for me because these guys tonight, the
France guys or whatever, I have never seen them play.
I didn't hear I'm trying to remember the first time
I heard about Wemby and the first time someone posted
(10:12):
Wemby clips last year on on social media, and I
was like, oh, my gosh, of course I'm talking about
I think everybody knows Victor Weben Yama from the Spurs
but they it was like last February, maybe last March.
I never even heard of the guy. And then on
social media, I'm scrolling and I see this seven to
(10:34):
four guy like draining threes, looking like he can really
handle the ball. That's the coolest part about tonight to
me is watching the highlight clips of these guys. Paul.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, the European players as well, especially because you haven't
seen much on them before they're playing internationally. I'm looking
back at a clip from the nineteen ninety eight draft
and I can remember watching that one. Specifically, Mar helped
me out here. Did Milwaukee take our Milwaukee Dallas with
Robert Trector trailer Michigan? Yeah, dude, and they traded him
straight up for Dirk Noavitsky right during or after the draft?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Correct? Remember was like, what, You're trading tractor trailer for
this guy from Germany?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, but I could. I'm looking at the Navisky highlights.
It's classic drk Nooviski. He's seven foot, he's playing outside.
I'm like, wow, look at this guy. This guy's something,
but nobody knew. They didn't pronounce his name. They called
him Nowitzki during the draft, not Novitzky. I don't even
if that's right, but they were calling two different names
on the pronunciation watching the old video.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
So that's one of my questions this morning is whether
or not you're going to watch tonight's NBA Draft. I mean,
what did it say about the NBA Draft that the
Knicks just traded five first round picks for Michael Bridges. Now, listen,
I love Michel Bridges. You know, he's an Eastern PA guy.
I think he went to Great Valley High School. Maybe
(11:52):
I had a good playoff run, went to Nova, and
now he's with the next. Gimme Marv, because I know
that you're probably in the NBA as much as anybody.
Give me your breakdown of what of a difference this
makes for the next Now, I mean, I know he's
a really good player, but he's also not like this
is not like a star player, right, No, no, no,
(12:12):
he's not.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
But he's he's a guy that on any given night
he can give you twenty five to thirty a night
if he gets hot.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
But he's one of them.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Not every night yet, no, no, but he's a guy
that doesn't need the ball to be effective during the game,
like he was on the Phoenix Suns to the NBA
Finals a couple years ago and against the Bucks. And
so he's like a three and D guy, Jalen Brunson's
gonna penetrate in the lane and find him wide open.
And he's another, like you said, another Villanova guy. So
those guys know each other. They already have that camaraderie
(12:41):
in chemistry. I think chemistry is kind of underrated in
the NBA sometimes. And if you know somebody's game, you
know where they're gonna be. And he knows his role.
In the NBA, you have to have a role. He
knows his role, and they know who the star is.
They know Jalen Brunst is the guy with the ball
in his hands, and you have him Hart de Vincenzo. Guys,
they don't necessarily need the ball to kind of, you know,
(13:04):
create their own shot. They can just kind of stand
there three and D guys.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
So it worked. And by the way, those three guys
you just named, Marv, none of them were like top five,
top ten picks. None of them were thought of as
like this guy is gonna be a great NBA player,
and now they are, Like Jalen Brunson was he even
a first round but like he was not considered like
a great prospect.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
He was considered a great college player who may be
a role player in the pros.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
So maybe that says something about tonight. Mckail.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Bridges is interesting because when he was a Phoenix, he
was really making a name for himself. He was second
for Defensive Player of the Year. That was just two
and a half years ago. He was averaging twenty six
points a game at one point two seasons ago. But
Jalen Brunston needs all to help him get you're getting
Michale Bridges at twenty seven, not twenty two, and not
thirty two, right in his prime as an NBA player.
(13:55):
So he's gonna help you tomorrow if you're the Knicks,
if you're a Knicks fan.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
So there's a couple other this, and Marv kind of
hinted at it. Any guy I've ever talked to you
about the NBA, like a coach or front office person
or player, the number one thing they say, it's really
important that the players like playing with each other, really important.
And these guys are all like very close friends from
(14:22):
college who won a national championship together at Villanova. By
the way, I don't think I've ever seen this. Can
you guys think of another team that had this many
players from one college at the same time. Can you
argue that, like the four best players or four of
the six best players for the Knicks are now all
from Villanova Seaton.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
You know it's so interesting too, because what you were
talking about yesterday about the bond that people have when
they win a championship, right, you were just talking about
high school guys. You're not really buddies, but when you
see each other your brothers, Yeah, you know, and now
put that into an NBA team pretty pretty wild.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You know, they're just missing one thing now, right, Jay
Wright special special consultant, I mean hilarious. Let's just put
this way. If things don't go well with the Knicks
this year with Tibbs, I mean, it's either Danny Hurley
time or Jay Wright time, right, I mean, it's one
(15:24):
of those two guys.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
You played for the Patriots. Remember that run where Belichick
was drafting guys from.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Rutgers That was after me.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
But yeah, they had a run of like seven Rutgers players.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I think I might have played for the only team
that can rival the Knicks, the Nova Knicks. Look this up.
Who's our who's our research guy? The two thousand and
two Washington Redskins. That was the name of the team
back then. Steve Sproyer was the head coach. He brought
in Danny Whirfol, Shane Matthews. What's the guy's name? I
(15:59):
kill your jah Ques Green, Robert Gillespie. I think we
had another Florida receiver. He We had two Florida quarterbacks
at Chris Doring. Chris Doring. We had two Florida quarterbacks
at least floor four Florida receivers, of Florida running back.
(16:21):
I had never seen anything like it in my life.
We were like the Florida Redskins. It was unbelievable, PAULI.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I'm looking at the roster. Yeah, you nailed it. They
have a bunch of Florida dudes. Even a couple of
guys on defense. That's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That might have been the only team I remember that
tried that tactic.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Didn't work out too well, No, it didn't work out,
not even close.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Several of those guys got cut, I think, and they
were not very productive. All right, So we're gonna play
this game when we come back I'm gonna, first of all,
go ahead and check out social media at Ross Tucker
NFL as well as at DP show to see whether
or not you guys are gonna watch tonight's NBA Draft.
Here's what we got. Next hour, we got Jonathan Givennie,
(17:08):
the ESPN NBA draft analyst. He'll actually tell us maybe
it's Givoni. Let's trying givoni. There you go, Okay, Givoni.
By the way, Fritzy even gave me the pronunciation. It's
give dash oh dash Nie. I went what I said,
I said, give Annie, it's Givoni. Givony. Sorry, Jonathan, anyway,
(17:30):
we're having him on the show. I'm not that sorry.
We're having him on the show. We're gonna talk to him.
At ten twenty am Eastern, we got former teammate of
mine and former adversary, Vince will Fork. That was a
hard guy to block. That was a hard guy to block.
Eleven twenty am Eastern time, we got to get into
the Jags and the Panthers are both getting new stadiums.
(17:53):
The text A and M baseball coach is I'll just
say it. He's left now to go to Texas, and
he's kind of a piece of crap. We'll play that audio.
We'll explain why a little bit later. It's my wife's birthday.
Happy birthday to my wife.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Happy birthdays.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Absolutely probably not watching or listening, but we'll get into
the fact that she let me do the show today,
let me go to the Kelsey guest bartending later today
without having to be with her for her birthday, which
is part of the reason why she's awesome. The Rockets
and Nets trade. We're just getting started. Give me a
fun morning here nineteen minutes past the hour on the
(18:27):
Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (18:28):

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Hey, what's up everybody?
Speaker 9 (18:41):
It's me three time pro bowler LeVar Rington, and I
couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up
on Game?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
What is Up on Game?
Speaker 9 (18:49):
You add along with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Huschman,
Zada and Super Bowl champion Yep, that's right, Plexico Burris.
You can only name a show with that type of
talent on it.
Speaker 3 (19:01):

Speaker 9 (19:02):
We're going to be sharing our real life experiences loaded
with teachable moments. Listen to Up on Game with me
lebar Arrington, TJ. Hutchman's Ouda and Plexico Burrs on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast from.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Checking out some of the interaction from you guys on
social media at DP show at Ross Tucker NFL. Tim
Engelhart says, I was in camp with you that year
with the Redskins. Redell Anthony was on the team too.
I think Riddell might have gotten cut. I can't remember.
Braden Hutchins is gonna watch the draft because I'm curious
(19:45):
to see how high Brownie goes. Isn't that amazing? Isn't
that amazing that a guy that's projected to go Day
two is the number one reason why people are gonna
tune into the draft? Brownie games, of course, the son
of Lebron James. Isn't it weird, guys that the first
(20:07):
year they have a two day NBA Draft, The first
rounds tonight, the second rounds tomorrow night. Is the year,
the only year I can ever remember where a guy
going in the second round is more interesting potentially than
the entire first round. That cannot be a quinc Quintin's
are by design? Do you think I'm a little dubious
about that?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Well, but they announced it more than months ago. It
wasn't like a week and a half ago they announced
they were going to do another round on I wonder
if they kind of had it in their back pockets, say,
if we're ever going to drop it and make it
get a decent rating, this is year to do it.
They probably anticipated Bronni James coming out and it was
probably in their in their meeting. You know, they see
what the NBA has done by expanding the draft, and
(20:49):
NFL is done.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
This is interesting. By the way, I don't even know
what this guy's handle means, snide man cometh, but he says,
how about the sixth Georgia Bulldogs on the team you
work for? Ross the Eagles. It's a really good point.
There's a lot of Georgia Bulldogs on the Philadelphia Eagles
right now. They've been drafting them every year. And then
(21:11):
c Wade three says, I'm an Atlanta Hawks fan, so
having the number one pick, I'm definitely watching the draft tonight,
but only like for the first five picks. If it
wasn't for that with the lack of known guys, there
is no way I'd be watching how much is this stink?
By the way, if you're a Hawks fan, the one
(21:33):
year you get the number one overall pick, it's guys
we've never heard of that aren't supposed to be that good.
I mean, you could have had Wemby last year if
you had last year's There's a lot of years where
you get the number one pick and you're like, we're
getting Zion, We're getting Wemby. This year it's we're getting
who Fritzy.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
I think you gotta hang your hat on a hold
out hope that sometimes, just like in other drafts, someone
that gets picked that you wouldn't think would become any becomes.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
A great player or a superstar.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Someone that you think has the name and it is
supposed to do something great ends up being a bust.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
So you really never know for sure what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Well, and listen, I mean the two best players for
the Celtics neither one of those guys exter Second Tatum
and Jalen Brown. By the way, they both went after
picks made by my sixers. Just unbelievable. I think the
Sixers instead took Markel Foltz, and I can't remember the
(22:29):
other he traded up for him instead of taking Jalen
Brown or Jason Tatum. So, like always, they don't really know.
Let's get to the pole question seton what are you thinking?
You know what? Exciting day?
Speaker 8 (22:40):
Todd's actually sent over a plethora of pole questions, several.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Okay, do you want me to ask Todd Todd, what
do you got?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Which we just kind of asked how much NBA draft
are you.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Tuning in for tonight? All most a peak none was
one of the thoughts. By acquiring Michale Bridges from Brooklyn,
the Knicks will now win the Eastern Conference when the
NBA title be about the same.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Somehow take a step backwards too many Nova guys, question Mark, no,
my god, go backwards many Nova guys.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
Then we had one fun one quickly because of Vince
Wilfork joining us, and he's a big dude. Would you
gain an excessive unhealthy amount of weight for a lucrative position.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Or role as an actor or an athlete? Absolutely not
a chance.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Ooh, that's an interesting question, just to get that.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Movie role of TV gig or that sports that position
on the football field or whatever. But you have to
put on weight that's going to probably jeopardize your healthful,
it'll make you certainly less healthy.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Are you asking first of all that you could put
on fifty pounds and all of a sudden being an
NFL player is comical? Okay? So I think you have
to have the talent. I don't have to put it
down a little bit better. Like it's not like, oh,
just eat a lot, get big like Vince Wilfork. Vince
Wilfork was an believable athlete for his size. Unbelievable, Pauli.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Okay, based off what Fritzy is saying, real quick, before
we get to the NBA. If let's say Adam Sandler,
Will Ferrell came in here and offered one of the
Danettes or you know guys who are not used to
being acting in real roles, a real role in a
movie where it has like multiple lines, but you had
to either put on sixty pounds or lose.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Thirty How much money are you getting like.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
A real acting role in a Sandler movie. We probably
make a couple hundred grand or something. I mean, let's
say it's a hundred grand and you get a real
role say.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
It's one hundred thousand dollars and you have to gain
fifty pounds. Yeah, Fritzier, you're doing it.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
I don't think so if you have to, I'm talking
about like extremes like you gotta either go be very
obese or gaunt like like Paulie was saying, you got either.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I'm saying fifty pounds is a lot, Fritzy.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Yeah, I think if it's when you're talking about a
lot trying to gain or lose a lot of weight
in a short period of time.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I don't know if i'd want, certainly more than one
hundred thousand dollars. I think we got to it was
several hundred thousand dollars to catch my interest seating.
Speaker 8 (25:04):
This is hilarious to me, this whole thing. Uh Man,
got your answer. I'm just doing my best. Yeah, of
course I would. I mean if that was my job
and that's what I was gonna do, Yeah, yeah, I would.
I would put on weight, I would lose weight, I
would do whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Know what. You know what, Uh, first, you don't allow
of those guys just take steroids. You could just take
steroids that would help.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
You could, But I'm talking about what if you're at
an age where it's not so easy to lose.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Oh, we'll just get your train and you'll go right
back to shape.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
What exactly where we talk about Todd? Every time somebody answers,
it's still not good enough. It's like no, no, no, I
mean like a lot of weight, like not like fifty
pounds isn't a lot of weight?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Dude, What if you're in your If I lost.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Fifty pounds right now, I'd be one hundred and thirty
five pounds. That's an incredible amount of weight, Marv.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, I put on weight for no money now.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
So that's like the whole thing that's hilarious about this.
It's like what we've.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
All fluctuated, What are we doing now?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Then?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I think it'd be it'd be an awesome experience. It'd
be a tough experience to either lose forty or put
on fifty.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
The putting on would be Oh, I bet it'd be brutal.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
After footing on is a lot easier than taking of.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, but I bet it's all a lot easier. A
bit disgusting, like you're but like the experience of being
in a movie with a real role and getting actually
paid for it, and the weight loss thing for a
one time where there'd be a great experience.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I could put on fifty pounds quick, oh before the
next segment. I work out like twice a day, and
I eat pretty decent, and I still am like staying
at the same place. If I just stopped working out
and started eating the way I'd like to eat, that
would not take me that long. I could do that,
all right, So that good. Poll questions, Fritzy, the Villanova Nicks.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Step backwards if I'm getting Bridges that were worse Nicks.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
All right, But here's what game I want to play. Okay,
I'm gonna name a projected NBA lottery pick. You tell
me what country they're from, what position they play, maybe.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Just something about them.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yeah, tell me something about them. We'll start with the
projected number one pick according to the mock most common drafts,
Zachary Resacker. No idea, that's his real last name, Fritzy.
That would be a Belarus forward, Belarus forward, wrong seaton?
(27:40):
Do I want to take from France? He is from France? Anything,
marv he's a center?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Nope, all I had was France.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
He's from France. He's six ' nine, and he's a
guard forward.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Congratulations.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Centers even really exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Number two Alexander Saar to the Washington Wizards, set hour forward.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
From also from France.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think power forward might be right. He's a forward center,
so I'll give you that one, Marv. He's a seven
footer stretch four. Oh you already know this. I know
this guy. Yeah, there's one guy I know, Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
PAULI, I know a little bit about him. I think
it's star with two rs. I think he's from France,
but he plays in Australia and he's more of a
defensive stopper.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Oh, he's from France too.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I think he's France.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
The top two picks in the NBA draft are going
to be from France.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
I just said he's from France.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Confirmed.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
No, my information says Perth, Austria.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I think he's been playing in Perth.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I believe you seton, but I'm just going by what
this thing says.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Sorry, I thought you'd have the information ready for your game.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
No, No, I'm really just going Sorry.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
I thought when you said I have a game, I'm
gonna ask you guys.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
I thought that meant you had the information in front
of you.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Hey, so I kind of know these next two guys,
so we'll skip over him. Reed Shepherd, the guard from Kentucky, sneaky.
That is wild, by the way. That is six to
guard from Kentucky is gonna be the third pick in
the draft.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
More athotics than he appears.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, well he's the first guy in the last guy out.
Coach him.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
His dad played a Kentucky Jeff Shepherd. He had some hops.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Oh I remember Jeff Shepherd, food ball player. Gosh, that
makes me feel old. Okay, we know that guy. Wow,
we got two more college basketball players. Number four Stephen
Castle from Yukon, so obviously Seaton and Marv know him well.
Sixty six guard freshman, Number five Donovan Klinging. What do
(29:49):
they call him? Kling Kong?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
You do?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
That's right? Seven to I know him from Bristol. All right,
let's get back to the guys we don't Okay, the
number six guy, Fritzy Mattas boozellis what team did he
play for last year? Give me anything about him.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
He's a Croatian shot blocker who played briefly at Northwestern.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
It's a safe guess, safe guess, very small.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
He was in the journalism program with the Wildcats.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
So I don't. He's a big forward with shooting touch.
He played for G League Ignite. He's six ' nine.
I have no idea what country he's from. Anybody, No,
Mattas boozellis all right. The next was this guy. Oh,
this guy was a college basketball player. I don't know
much about him.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Oh, Matas his hometown is Chicago, Illinois. Really, that's what
it says.
Speaker 2 (30:44):

Cody Williams is a college basketball player freshman last year
for Colorado, six ' seven forward.

Oh, his brother is Jana Williams from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
That is correct. I know this next guy, Dalton connect
From from Tennessee Gunner. Wow, he's a senior. Ye he
is a when the last time a top ten pick
was going to be a senior college basketball player.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
It's wild. He's an anomaly. He just put on a
show during the second half of the season for Tennessee.
Could shoot from anywhere, A big, strong kid. For him
to go into lottery's nuts.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
He's kind of a loner with this teammates that's what
I heard.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I could do him save the gold.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Thank you, Todd PAULI. The number nine pick to Jane Salon.
I have no idea how to pronounce these guys names,
Absolutely no idea. Okay, he's pretected to go to number nine.
What team did he play for last year? Where is
he from?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Isn't apostrophe in his name?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Anywhere? There's no apostrophe?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
It helps.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
It's to Jane Salon. I d j A n E
s A l a u n.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
That also sounds lightly French.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I think you might be right.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I'm gonna I'm gonna say Northern European, Eastern European shole basket.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
He's a six ' nine forward show lay basket. Sounds
French to me, I have no idea. Eighteen year old
projects as a rangy switchable defender. Confirmed, get me excited. Yeah,
he's a switchable defender. He's a Sagam top ten. He's
a switchable defender. He's almost nineteen years old. He is
from France.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
His name's actually basket. That's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
No, that's the team he played for. All right, Number
ten pick Devin Carter. Everybody know Devin Carter from Providence.
That's right, Okay, Marv knows him. Yeah, you kind of
used to beat up on those guys. Six to two
Guard two. Now number eleven, Nicola Topic. You gotta know
something about his name is Nicola. He's from Texas.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
I'm not mistaken, all right, Fritzy, do you know where
he's from.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
That would be a Serbian big man, yes, correct.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
No, he's a guard. He's six ' six, he's guard.
I'll give it to you though. It helps if their
names like Nicola, that helps quite a bit.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
And you're Nicola Topic, you go in the first round.
When you're Nick Topic, you're a late second round draft.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
All right. Number twelve, Ron Holland the second anybody know
anything about Ron?
Speaker 6 (33:31):
The team manager?
Speaker 3 (33:32):
You're making that guy.
Speaker 2 (33:33):

the G League. Let's take him. He held his own
in the G League. Let's take him the league ignite.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
He's from Dallas, Texas.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
This is crazy. The next guy, we only got two
more left. The next guy, Robert Dillingham, Oh, Kentucky, Yeah,
six ' one. Like the college guys from Kentucky are
six one and six ' two that are NBA lottery.
Speaker 6 (34:01):

apostrophe Kobe? You got that part of it right? Do
you know anything about him as a player? No, I
(34:24):
just love the name freshman from Baylor. I'm just telling
you guys right now, and I know it's my sport.
I could tell you something about the first three rounds
of NFL drafts. The first three round this is wild.
We gotta get to the play of the day, but
also get some of your thoughts at eight seven, seven
to three DP show on tonight's NBA Draft, Are you
(34:48):
gonna watch? Yes or No? And why? And plus does
Michel Bridges put the knicks over the top? Forty one
minutes past the hour here on The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wap.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Oh My God.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Of the Day, God of the Day.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Check the shaft.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
First one, the bientos is cracked in the air on
a line toward right center.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
It is off.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
The top of the wall and done.
Speaker 9 (35:30):
Fantos hits an absolute laser to right center and hit
the top of the wall and pop into the Yankee
bullpen his second hold none of the night.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Mark Biento's hits his second homer of the night, as
you heard off of Garrett Cole. He let off the
second and fourth innings with home runs, the first player
in the history of the Mets Yankee Subway Series to
hit multiple leadoff homers in the same game. Cole gave
(36:05):
up four home runs in four innings and failed to
strike out a single batter, just the second time in
three hundred and two career starts, Cole has not recorded
at least one strikeout. That is courtesy of the Mets
Radio Network. The Play of the Day is brought to
(36:26):
you by our partners Kings Hawaiian who wants you to
get together with friends and family and enjoy the weekend
by making every Sunday a slider Sunday.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
PAULI, do you see show hey Otani right now in
the National League hitting three twenty leading the league, home
runs twenty four leading the league, and he's just a
couple back in RBI. He's having the best hitting season
of his career, and he hasn't cooled off yet.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I should know this. But he's not pitching right.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Not pitching, not planning to pitch this year. But the
had which they didn't say was Tommy John surgery. It wasn't.
It was some new procedure allowed him to hit this year.
Because if he had true Tommy John surgery, he's not hitting.
He's complete rehab. But whatever it was, which that doctor
out there hasn't given it a name, but he's hitting
(37:17):
better than ever coming off a air quotes procedure for
his elbow.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
You can give us a chance he never pitches again.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
We discussed that about a month and a half ago.
When he started out the season hit like three point
fifty does the Dodgers look at him and say, like, well,
we could just have him as the best hitter in
the game, but we're paying him seven hundred million dollars
to do both. But the pitching again risks the hitter, right,
because if he pitches again and really rips up his elbow,
who knows how much how many more times you go
(37:44):
in there.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
And there they've got a lot of money invested in
that man. Dale in Indiana, by the way, says I'll
watch the draft just to see Bronnie go in the
second round so dp he can get a pie to
the face. That's how interesting this year's draft is to me.
What's the deal? There's a pie?
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Yeah, Dan bet that Bronnie James would be drafted in
round one tonight.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Oh when was this? He just said, this is a
long time ago. Weeks ago, seem okay.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
I don't know, maybe longer than that.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
So, I, by the way, tend to agree with Dan, Like,
why would you not draft Brownie if you have a
late first round pick and try to leverage that asset
that you know is more valuable than these other players
you could draft Fritzy.
Speaker 7 (38:32):
What if you try to leverage that unsuccessfully? You know
you're stuck with the player that you didn't want because
you could try to get cute. I thought you were
going to get some kind of and hold him for
ransom and get something better that you never get.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Didn't lebron say a couple of years ago, he's going
to keep playing until he can play with his son.
I mean he's literally playing just so he can play
with his son. He's I feel like that's a pretty
good leverage.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Yeah, he said that a few years ago, and then
the past couple of years he's kind of stayed away
from the topic. It's more like whatever happens happened, it'd
be great, but whatever happens.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
And I think this is probably why, because he knows
people could lever them potentially. Let's take a call from Karen,
who's in Ohio eight seven seven to three DP show
what's up?
Speaker 4 (39:13):
Karen.
Speaker 10 (39:16):
This is Karen from Ohio Bourbon Drink and cigar smoking.
And I just want to tell you Ross that you
have got to be the one that takes over for
DP he retires, because there is no one who does
it any better than you. And if I have to
listen to Mannics do it, I will not listen anymore.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
All right, Karen, thank you for the compliment. We're not
taking shots anybody else. Just focus on saying how great
I am as opposed to tearing anyone else down more
pro Ross.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Yes, do you like happiness?
Speaker 6 (39:50):
Let's keep it happy? That's me right, you like happiness.
I think that's what you said yesterday. I like happiness,
you know.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
I specifically, guys, is it bad that I don't watch
the news at all? Got to say it all? I
don't watch the news at all, Like something really big
could happen and I would have no idea. You know,
I was watching at the hotel I'm staying at. They
have the news on while I'm having my oatmeal and
(40:17):
my Greek yogurt with lots of granola on it. And
every story is negative, every story. I don't come away
from that feeling good about life. Rating it's like, and
then they found the child, you know, behind the house.
I'm like, what am I watching right now? Why am
(40:39):
I what? We all have choices every day about how
we want to live our life, how we want to
allocate our time. Why do people allocate so much time
to negativity? It seemed like such a poor choice for Ittsy.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
I think you're better off.
Speaker 7 (40:56):
Living in an ignorant bliss, because you're right, if this
one died and this happened, and this one's sick, and
if you eat too much of this, something beds gona happen.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
You gotta have enough of that. But the other thing
is I watched the nightly news every day and everything
is pretty terrible.
Speaker 7 (41:09):
And at the very end they throw in a little
something about an emu that was saved from a lake
or a kid that's selling lemonade for a nice call.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Why do you watch it? Then?
Speaker 4 (41:17):
I'm just I just want to feel like I'm fascinated
by what's going on in the world, and I feel
like I should just know what's going on. Like what
if a bridge collapsed and I didn't know about it,
and I just drove right off the thing because the
bridge was out.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
I think they would have the road block before you.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
But I'm not very bright. I would have just gone.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
I'd go on. I thought our bridge was here. Seeah,
I don't care what's going on in the world. I
just want to be happy and have fun with my
friends and family.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
Good for you?
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Is that so wrong? One hour down, two to go.
