Something the thunder did last night not that well. It played pretty well, but this is one of those if they get a game that might be a big accomplishment. Here as I'm watching and you know, I'm looking at the point spreads, They're fifteen and a half point underdogs on Thursday in Game two. These seventy six ers are six and a half point underdogs tonight against the Knicks. Timberwolves are nine and a half point underdogs against the Spurs.

You can go to rectech dot com search the Dan Patrick Show for details. We will give that grill away. By the way, one of the grills is fired up today because we're making pizza. We got the pizza insert. So I said to Dylan, how about a pizza Wednesday? And he went out and got some dough, some ingredients. So in between like commercial breaks, he's out there whipping up some pizzas. So we have hot honey, suprisada. Is that salami? It's yeah, basically okay, pepperoni and onion. It's salami's spicy brother pesto, rugula brasute and sausage and rugott. How did I do?

00:01:42
Speaker 3: You kind of nailed that? Actually all right after the initial soapersada hump, you got it killed, Dreath.

00:01:48
Speaker 2: I thought you were saying we were having hot honey super salad, and I go, why are we having super salad? And then you go, no, it's pronounced differently.

00:01:58
Speaker 3: Although salad pizza, well no, no, Greek salad pizza.

00:02:03
Speaker 2: No no, and no pineapple on there no not no.

00:02:07
Speaker 3: I'm out on that bud salad pizza.

00:02:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, who has it better than we do? Nobody? All Right, Trouble Sleeping introducing Zkliner, or you could listen to the toodcast revolutionary recliner designed by Flexity.

00:02:24
Speaker 4: I'm just not going to comment on that.

00:02:25
Speaker 2: It's three minutes and twenty one seconds in dang, I was gonna take the over.

00:02:30
Speaker 4: I was unprovoked. You just started up.

00:02:32
Speaker 2: I know, I know. Z Cliner engineered with RESTful sleep in mind, making it an ideal bet alternative. A healthy life starts with a healthy night sleep. Visit z cliner dot com slash Dan Patrick today to find a z Cliner near You got a play of the day, pole question, stat of the day, all of that forthcoming Pistons handled the Cavaliers, thunder over the Lakers. This is I'll start with the Lakers and the Thunder because you had Shay Gilgess, Alexander held under twenty points, he had seven turnovers. Okay, now we have a recipe for maybe we can steal one here. You got okc's second best player, Jayalen Williams, who is not playing, and maybe you get some magic here. Austin Reeves didn't play well, Lebron played well. They still they miss Luca. It's hard to threaten OKC without Luca out there. And Lebron even lamented that that, hey, we got a guy who scores thirty points who's not out there. Luke Canard's a nice role player. They just don't have the weapons. And OKC is deep. They are really you know, they got guys who are coming off the bench. Might be the tenth or eleventh guy on their bench. They might be the fifth or a sixth player for another team. But they're very deep, and they showed it last night. They kind of went through the motions. This is one of those where SGA didn't play well, Lebron played well, and you still lose by twenty. Like that's the scary part of this. But do I think they can win a here?

00:04:00
Speaker 4: Yes?

00:04:01
Speaker 2: I do, maybe two. I don't think they'll be swept, yes, marvh.

00:04:05
Speaker 5: The Thunder last night they kind of looked like the Steph Curry Spurs, I mean Spurs Warriors in their prime, Whereas like, man, we're trying to hold them off as long as we can, and what if we take the ball out of Steph Curry's hands. But guess what, Klay Thompson goes off, Leandro Barbosa goes off, Andre Iguadala goes off. That's how deep this Thunder team is. You don't know. Jared McCain, who's the ninth or tenth guy, came off it hit four to three pointers for them last night.

00:04:28
Speaker 2: I know it's one of those where you go, wait, who's this guy, who's that guy?

00:04:32
Speaker 4: Former sixer?

00:04:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, then you're going okay, I had that's where I saw him. Yes, okay, yeah, Paul.

00:04:38
Speaker 6: There was a point in the third quarter where it felt like the Lakers could cut it to four, and there was a replay that went against them, and then instantly was eleven and it felt like that was their shot and they were in striking distance and it never got closer.

00:04:51
Speaker 2: EH seven seven three DP show email address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. Tyler is sitting by. He'll take your phone calls and and will come up with a poll question. We got to play of the day. Stat of the Day has always brought you by Panini America, the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show. Good morning, if you're watching on Peacock or NBC Sports Network. Dylan, what's the poll question for the first hour of the program.

00:05:14
Speaker 3: All right, we got a couple, Dan. This one's from PAULI. Which underdog would you have advancing the Cavaliers, seventy six Ers, Lakers, or Timberwolves, all dogs in their respective series.

00:05:24
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know why Minnesota doesn't get more love more verbal bouquets. They've been to the Western Conference Finals back to back years, so it's not a fluke that they're here, and it's not a fluke that they won Game one against San Antonio because the Spurs have minimal playoff experience. You got Rudy Gobert, you got Anthony Edwards, Julius Randall. They do have experience here, and that's what's kind of surprising. It's you would think San Antonio would be the underdog, even though they had a better record, they had a better regter season, but the fact that maybe it's just you say Timberwolves, and maybe that doesn't strike fear, but they've gone to the Western Conference Finals back to back years, so I would say them.

00:06:14
Speaker 7: You know, the.

00:06:14
Speaker 2: Cleveland Detroit series, that could be a seven game series. Although James Harden looked old last night. He now he is old, but he looked older. And for some reason they had him bringing the ball up and Osar Thompson was guarding him and who he was all over James Harden and this one I don't understand. How about you let somebody else bring the ball up because I don't want James Harden expending all that energy, just getting the ball to have court at seven turnovers and he looked old and Detroit. You know that that was a great all around team performance. But Kate Cunningham, you know, he's kind of the right handed version of Jalen Brunson. It feels like like he's just coming after he's going to continue to score. I mean, they're different players. But because Cunningham was leading the NBA and assists before he got hurt, so but to see him this is what I love. You see great players be great at this time of the year, because that's really we focus on that bottom line sports society. What did you do in the playoffs? What'd you do? You know, winning a championship, not winning a championship the year you won your MVP. Those are the kind of things Anthony Edwards. We didn't know if he was going to play or when he was going to play. Off the bench eighteen points. You love seeing that Cade Cunningham, Jalen Brunson, what he did, Like, that's what you want. You know, SGA will be great in this series. But it was almost one of those where he thought, uh, don't need to tonight, Yes, Marvin.

00:07:55
Speaker 5: And in the playoffs, check usually calls them the others. You got those guys like Duncan, rob our Boy from the Heat. He had a big game last night. You're always going to need that man he's still in the league. Or who is that guy that comes up big in the playoff.

00:08:08
Speaker 2: Series, the Calves tied the game. They came back from what were they down eighteen or something, and so five minutes to go, Caid Cunningham comes back in the game, delivers three straight possessions with perfect passes for six points, and you know they're they're starting to crumble a little bit. And then he comes back in and they go on cruise to the victory. All right, what other poll question are you thinking about here? Dyl This is from Todd Lebron. Blaming the loss on Lucas absence and lack of scoring is a very understandable and reasonable point or a bad sign dot dot dot excuses already after game one. Well, I think he's reminding everybody of you know, Lebron ten years ago, you know, would would be approaching this differently. Now he's forty one and he can't do it alone, and he's reminding people of, hey, if we have Luca, then maybe we can make this a series, reminding them and maybe Luca is going to be able to play. I mean he's telling factually, he's telling you the truth. If they had Luca, they have a chance to win this series. They just don't have him. Maybe you get him when they go back to Los Angeles. Dave McManamon, who will join us later on, he'll have an update on that. I'm sure, yes, Marvin.

00:09:33
Speaker 5: Wait, so the NBA scoring leader has an effect on a series. That's crazy.

00:09:38
Speaker 2: I didn't look at it as Lebron as needs an excuse. I think he was just reminding people of we got to the second round. We weren't supposed to beat Houston. We got to the second round. I'm out here on an island just reminding you we don't have Luca and if we do get now. I know there's going to be people who partse this and say, Michael Jordan never would have made an excuse like that. Do you think that happens in Lebron's life, no matter what happens, Like if he drops the mail when he's you know, bringing in, you know, Jordan never would have dropped them in. Now he's not good at parallel Park. Well, Michael pretty good part of Palel Parker. Yes, Paulin, I don't know if.

00:10:23
Speaker 6: It's fair to say Lebron made up an excuse for the loss. He was asked about the Lakers offensive struggles last night and he said, well, the offensive struggles. We have a guy whoever's thirty seven a game thirty five this year?

00:10:36
Speaker 4: What are you asking?

00:10:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he was making the point that it's obvious what the struggles are. It's not like they didn't actually play that bad offensively over the course of the game. They just don't have their main guy.

00:10:46
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I didn't view it as an excuse, But then I don't see Lebron through the lens that people do who don't like him, or they're just waiting for him to say something. Yes, Dylney, I mean I think you.

00:10:58
Speaker 3: Can still call it an excuse, but like a valid one. Is that fair?

00:11:04
Speaker 2: Well, then it becomes a fact. Is it's not an excuse, is it? It's just Hey, these are the fact you're going against one of the best defensive teams in the NBA.

00:11:13
Speaker 3: I mean, I've made a lot of excuses that were true, at least to me.

00:11:18
Speaker 2: Once again, I'm not gonna you know, dive down into semantics here of what Lebron is saying, how he's saying it is an excuse.

00:11:26
Speaker 4: Is it?

00:11:26
Speaker 2: I think he just reminding people we don't have Luca, not that they needed to be reminded, but I think he's pointing out, hey, this is a great team defending champs and we're holding on for dear life. And by the way, we don't have the leading score.

00:11:42
Speaker 3: Jordan would have won with that Luca he did he.

00:11:47
Speaker 2: Never played with Luca.

00:11:48
Speaker 3: That's true argument over my choice.

00:11:52
Speaker 2: Uh okay, I.

00:11:55
Speaker 4: Love our take on this topic. Yeah, worst take.

00:11:59
Speaker 2: Did see where Austin Rivers fired back at Draymond Green. After Draymond Green fired at Austin Rivers, we got to see if Austin Rivers will ever join us again because I don't want to get him in trouble again. But I didn't have to say much when I talked about what Draymond's comments were about how he was used by Steve Kerr. But then Draymond makes it personal and Austin Rivers was never making it personal, like he even complimented Draymond Green. But Austin Rivers it's a four minute clip. I appreciate Austin Rivers mentioning the Dan Patrick Show. So I'd listened to the whole thing. After I heard that, I'm like, okay, he complimented, give us credit. Ben Stiller did reach out, apparently on social media after some of the Dan Nettes or our poll question some of the audience called him out for not going to the next game, and I said, I don't have any problem with it. The only problem I have is when he's walking up the steps and he's going to the photographers Nixon six. Meanwhile his wife is having her handheld by somebody to help her get up the steps. That was the only problem I had. He'll be there tonight front row. Yes, Dylan.

00:13:10
Speaker 3: My real issue with that was that it's really Nixon four. Oh non Nixon six.

00:13:15
Speaker 2: Oh okay. According to Rob in the back, okay, I was going to say Nixon three the way they played, if they could, they would Yeah, yeah, Paul.

00:13:23
Speaker 6: So the guys in back tweeted out the segment about Ben Stiller in the met gala, and minutes after we tweeted it out, he responded saying, bring it. I know who I am. Like, he's not afraid of the criticism.

00:13:34
Speaker 2: Anyway, but I think there's a commercial with Jalen Brunson who says I know who I am. And I don't know if Ben Stiller was quoting Jalen Brunson, but I saw that yesterday and I heard, you know when Brunson said I know who I am, and then that match with Ben Stiller had to say but I'm sure Ben Stiller will be Now, how do the Knick fans treat him tonight? Like do they boo that he shows up and didn't show up for Game one? Yes?

00:14:06
Speaker 4: Mark, No, I think they treat him the same.

00:14:09
Speaker 5: I think they show him more support because also a lot of those people they're all New Yorkers and the Met gala is a part of the fabric of New York life.

00:14:16
Speaker 4: Anyway, Oh, I see what you didn't use fabric myself?

00:14:21
Speaker 2: Bloop. Yes, Dylan.

00:14:23
Speaker 3: If they lose Game two, though, are they gonna be like go back to the metal?

00:14:26
Speaker 2: Ben?

00:14:26
Speaker 4: Come on?

00:14:30
Speaker 2: Should the Mets have a Mets gala? No where? Everybody shows up very you know, fashion friendly a Mets gala.

00:14:43
Speaker 3: Or wearing garbage bags would be wow.

00:14:45
Speaker 2: Okay, No, I told you you know what's going to happen the Mets second half of the season are going to be crazy great and then they're going to raise your hopes and then it'll be a crashing fall. Yes.

00:14:56
Speaker 6: Paul ben Stiller was ahead of this. Right after the Knicks one the other night. He tweeted out, I guess I have to go to the met ball again on Wednesday. Okay, Matt, don't mess with a streak. Oh okay, he gets it showing a sense of humor there. Funny guy. But we did invite him on. But did we get a response.

00:15:15
Speaker 2: We did not get a response.

00:15:16
Speaker 3: We used to in the past when we've invited him on.

00:15:18
Speaker 2: But he did respond and liked some of our social media things yesterday.

00:15:24
Speaker 3: Yes, Deil, would you go to the mac Alladan if invited one time, just to kind of see what it's all about.

00:15:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but I would not know you know, what to wear, how to dress when you go to that.

00:15:40
Speaker 3: I'll help you.

00:15:42
Speaker 2: Well, guys can get by with not crazy things. It's the women who have crazy outfits there.

00:15:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's they all I learned yesterday and my mcaller research. They all all that people attending and outfits have to be pre approved by Anna wind Tour so she gets like the final look, which is actually makes even crazy there when you see some of the outfits where she's like, yeah, that's good.

00:16:02
Speaker 2: But you're not allowed to have garlic or onions in any of the dishes to prevent bad breath.

00:16:08
Speaker 3: That's good for you.

00:16:09
Speaker 2: No brushetta because it's messy. No parsley or chibes because they get stuck in your teeth. Spouses are seated at different tables from one another, Phones are banned, and you can greet Anna wind Tour for a maximum of twenty seconds. Yes, Tom, what is that all about?

00:16:32
Speaker 8: It?

00:16:32
Speaker 9: That harkens back to like certain celebrities as a host when you're going there show you can't look them right in the eye or don't engage them if you see them in the hall or in the elevator.

00:16:39
Speaker 4: I just we're all human beings.

00:16:41
Speaker 3: I hate when I hear those stories.

00:16:42
Speaker 4: Thank you, Todd.

00:16:43
Speaker 6: Yes, well, I actually like the twenty second rules. Quick small talk? How are you good to see you? What are you wearing?

00:16:49
Speaker 2: Nice to meet you, let's go. Yeah, you know, speaking of what celebrities want, I have two that I found out from somebody that I can't tell you the celebrity, but I'll after the break, I'm going to tell you what this person needs once has to have in their green room. It will blow you away. I'll have that for you right after this.

Speaker 2: So we're Clemson head coach Dabos. Sweeney took a shot at Notre Dame and the Ohio State. We'll talk about that coming up eight seven, seven to three. DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show. I was mentioning green room green room demands by celebrities don't want to mention any names. But this person had two requirements that stood out to me. I was talking to a stage manager and we were just talking about celebrities. What they asked for. Whose high maintenance? Who's somebody you'd go, wow, he's a dream to work with he or she. This person had two strange demands in my opinion, in their green room. One was they had to have birthday cake. They had to have cake in the green room, but the person didn't want to eat the cake. The person just wanted to smell the cake. Stage manager, you know, production manager, unit manager, I had to go out and get a cake each day. The other one was this person wanted steak in their dressing room, not to eat. The person wanted to smell the steak. He would have to go out and get steak cooked, put it in the green room, and this person could smell the steak and then also smell the cake as well.

00:19:32
Speaker 3: Yes, Dylan, speaking of Ben Stiller, that kind of reminds me of Dodgeball when he's got like the slice of pizza but he's just trying not to eat. He's like hooked up to the the electrical thing and he's torturing himself with it.

00:19:44
Speaker 2: But we're not talking about Ben still Er in my story.

00:19:47
Speaker 3: No, no, No, it's just like that reminds me of that where it's like it's just there to smell and look at, but I can't have it.

00:19:54
Speaker 2: Yes, Paul, you know, I've seen lots of these lists.

00:19:56
Speaker 6: It's you know, different foods and drinks and meds and all these type of things. But the idea of having food brought in daily. You're not saying a birthday cake for this person's birthday, a daily cake. Yeah, and it's not being eaten.

00:20:11
Speaker 2: No, No, the person wanted to smell the cake, the icing, I guess, and then this far the steak as well, not to eat the steak, to smell the steak, Yes, Todd.

00:20:22
Speaker 4: I think at the very.

00:20:23
Speaker 9: Least, especially when you have those kind of requests, the celebrity him or herself has to make that request and hopefully they'll understand as they're saying it for the person that would be on the receiving end of that conversation.

00:20:32
Speaker 4: Real's how ridiculous that is.

00:20:33
Speaker 9: You could be hide behind an agent or a publicist or a manager, but if you specifically want that, you should have.

00:20:39
Speaker 4: To ask for that and realize how obnoxious that is.

00:20:41
Speaker 2: They're not going to ask. That's why you have a handler an assistant. So when I go on the road, I don't ask for crazy things in my dressing room. The big german does. He'll do that for me. There was a celebrity who wanted remote cars right in the person's dressing room. They wanted to have cars, remote cars to play with, and they got them for him.

00:21:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, There's hundreds of other ones. I saw one. This is Madonna and its public knowledge. She wanted her She has like a sitting room at home that she has. She sends a picture of it to the tour people and she wants her backstage area to look like her room at her house. So they had to mock it up for one night to look like Madonna's home.

00:21:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm okay with that.

00:21:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dylan, I'm looking at Esquire's list and Mariah Carey bottle of Kristall with bendy straws and then someone to throw away her gum gum thrower. That's pretty good, okay.

00:21:45
Speaker 2: Uh. Justin bieber ten luxury sedans um a private jet on standby a massage table. Okay, Uh, let's see how about Beyonce. She can't have Coca cola, you can only have pepsi. She has to have heavily seasoned baked chicken legs, breasts and wings, and hot sauce. And the dressing room has to be set to seventy eight degrees in all time, seventy eight seventy eight warm. Thank you. Paul Drake. Tons of alcohol, bottles of Hennessy or Vossier tequila. Jack Daniels Heineken, all right, I'm okay with that. Taylor Swift loves her Starbucks. The order has to be delivered before eleven a m very very specific order. Well, I'm okay with that. Uh Selena Gomez she needs chicken pop pie and pickles. I'm fine with that too. Rihanna wants a large fur rug and she wants to walk on it barefoot. She has to have special curtains, icy blue chiffon and white curtains. Let's see, justin Timberlake. He has to have somebody disinfect the doorknobs of any backstage venue every two hours. I'm fine with man j Lo. Everything's got to be white, all objects, candles, everything have to be white. Katie Perry, friend of the show. You can't send Uh, you can't send carnations. She wants dried apples and pears and lightly salted roasted at amami. Okay, how do you decide if it's salted or lightly salted? Jay z seven dressing rooms, one for every day of the week. Maybe good quality peanut butter, good quality jelly, so he'd be and Jay, I'm fine with that. Let's see anybody else that we might care. How about Kanye Oh boy has to have a certain kind of chapstick, sun kiss, salted pistachios, bottles of a certain water, plenty of booze as well, alcohol infused slushy machines. I'm good with that too, all right, Lady Gaga, Um, oh my god, I don't I can't say this one on the air. And what she wants? How about Kevin Hart? Uh, he asked to have five women between ages twenty one and twenty seven. With that, letox sexy build at the venue one hour ahead of time and stay one hour after. I'm not sure that's true, but all right, I see where he's coming from.

00:25:11
Speaker 3: Oddly specific time.

00:25:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. And ages Britney Spears had to have a framed photo of Princess Diana Britney adores the monarchy, and she also wants McDonald's cheeseburgers and no bun. Let's see Lindsey Lohan, whoa One of the demands is she wanted to meet Vladimir Putin. Also requested she'd be given a one year visa private jet and six hundred and fifty thousand dollars for her appearance on a show I Guess in Russia. George Clooney has to have a custom made. These are all according to Esquire.

00:26:03
Speaker 4: Let's see.

00:26:04
Speaker 2: Mary J. Blige needs her own private toilet, complete with new seat, any hotel she stays in Madonna Madge. She has two hundred people in her entourage, adamant about backstage room resembling her personal home. As Paully brought up Eminem, Let's see, he wants six lunchables, three turkeys and three hams. If we're being specific, he needs twenty four cans of diet coke and twenty four plastic bottles of it. I would still say, if you're gonna have steak but not eat it because you want the smell, and you're gonna have birthday cake just for the smell. Not for eating it. That's pretty bizarre. Chare has to have a separate room for all of her wigs. Whatever share wants she gets in my Yes, Dylan.

00:27:02
Speaker 3: I think sneakily Adell's might be the most gangster one. It's just a pack of marble lights, two bottles of California Red and one bottle of California white wine. No chardonnay, which means he has a nice taste, you know, Dan, we're wine guys. California Shardonnay not the.

00:27:16
Speaker 4: Best I know.

00:27:19
Speaker 2: I refuse to surrender to shardenay. I'm sorry, I can I know, Buttery, Yes, Tom, Where.

00:27:25
Speaker 9: Do producers, directors, executives, whoever makes the final call on what they can and can't deliver. If someone's just coming on a talk show for a segment or two, as opposed to a concert or a residency, doesn't that change a little bit? Can you have a list of fifteen twenty things for your green room when you're going to be on set for the tonight show for ten minutes? Because some of them want crazy things just for a quick segment on a talk show.

00:27:45
Speaker 2: Leak, No, I would think these are these are all performers. This is concerts. This wouldn't be you go to the Jimmy Kimmel show or Jimmy Fallon show and you asked for this. Although Follin had a pretty sharp green room that I stayed in. It's like a It was a log cabin that was built inside this room. Fallon had a bar or no, kim Well had a bar inside, and then they moved the bar outside after the show. Then you go outside and everybody from the show, you know, kind of files out.

00:28:20
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul, I still had the email from the last time you were on Jimmy Fallon's show and they asked specifically if there's anything you'd like in your green room and you said, I'm good.

00:28:28
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:28:28
Speaker 6: They had tons of stuff.

00:28:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I didn't need anything.

00:28:32
Speaker 4: That was fine.

00:28:34
Speaker 2: I mean I asked for Jennifer Aniston. They couldn't come up with that, but I asked, you know, I don't have any real specific needs here, but Jennifer Aniston. Yes, Marton.

00:28:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't forget where you come from.

00:28:48
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I'm loyal to soil Man sponsored by True Green.

00:28:54
Speaker 3: Yes, Dylan, what is Lindsay Lohan doing that she has a rider? I say, I checked Lindsay Lohan's not performing any concerts.

00:29:02
Speaker 2: I think that was a long time ago. She was going to be on a show and I think it was in Russia, and then she wanted one year of visa in a private jet and wanted to meet Putin and get six hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

00:29:14
Speaker 3: She's like, give me the Edward Snowden Rider.

00:29:16
Speaker 11: Wow.

00:29:16
Speaker 2: Okay, Chris and Syracuse, Good morning, Chris. What's on your mind?

00:29:22
Speaker 7: Daniel?

00:29:23
Speaker 8: Question for you and coming on my Knicks. Yeah, I'm excited. And LeAnn Rose kind of built this team a little bit on defense and Ognobi. I mean he did a great job on EMBIID and he can guard all five positions. You could put him on Maxie and and kind of like Wemby. He makes you change your offense. And he's always in the passing lanes and with Brunson and Cat I mean as liabilities indeed, is great on help d So yeah, I think for the Knicks to do well, it pretty much starts and ends with defense.

00:29:51
Speaker 7: And Dan a question for you.

00:29:53
Speaker 8: On the green room. I remember, probably many years ago, probably fifteen years ago, you said all I need is six Packagenny and a bag of Doritos and dance a happy camper? Does that still apply fifteen years later?

00:30:05
Speaker 2: Well, I ended up going to a wedding. In fact, I saw the guy whose wedding I went to. He joined. He came to the show in Pittsburgh and he said, do you remember what you I drove up with my now wife and we got a twelve pack of Jenny cream Ale and we got a bag of Dorito's and we drove from Dayton all the way up to Canton. And my wife was like, is this normal? Because she didn't have any of you know that kind of beer Dorito's that that was lunch. And I remember we had Jenny cream Ale and uh we had Dorito's. I was like, yeah, it was good. Yes, Marvin, you growing up or keeps you humble?

00:30:47
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:30:48
Speaker 2: You got to remember?

00:30:49
Speaker 5: But also, you know what, and I think maybe for us to have kids in here in my head sometimes I'm like, man, our kids are living better than us. Man, I really wish I hadn't done so well on I want him to struggle.

00:31:03
Speaker 2: But you struggled long enough. You don't want to struggle anymore.

00:31:07
Speaker 4: No, No, I want him to struggle.

00:31:09
Speaker 2: I know, but you don't want to struggle.

00:31:11
Speaker 4: No, no, no, you're right, yeah, uh.

00:31:14
Speaker 2: Right, your son. He's well behaved, except when he dropson F bomb occasionally.

00:31:25
Speaker 4: Right yeah. Durning fly football, he was not happy with an opponent.

00:31:30
Speaker 2: We have a guy who works with us occasionally on the road and he's got a five year old. He says he allows his son to curse in the house, and I said, well, does he know the difference between he can say it in the house and can't say it at school? Goes yes, But we want him to know that you can use that language. You got to know where to use that language. I go, well, wait a minute, you want your son flipping you off? And he goes he has. He'll go hey, dad, look and then he'll pull his hand out of his pants and he's flipping his dad off. And I go, this, this could end badly, just letting you know. But he said, no, we want him, if he's gonna say this, that he can say it in the house. I go, man, oh man, times have changed that you're allowing him to drop F bombs. He's five, Yes, yes, Marv.

00:32:25
Speaker 5: No, my son said that in the heat of battle during a flag football game. He cannot say that in the house. He's safer playing in traffic than playing with me.

00:32:33
Speaker 2: Okay, right, yes, still I have no issue with that.

00:32:38
Speaker 3: I think in the grand scheme of life, a couple of swear words here and there pretty much he's also going to learn them on the bus in six months anyways.

00:32:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't want you to feel like you can say them, you're gonna hear them. But that doesn't mean and that doesn't give you a whole pass to go. When do you say it and who do you say it to?

00:33:00
Speaker 3: Everyone? I just don't think. I think the swearing things change. Like my dad was pretty strict about it, my mom was not. But then, like you know, over time, I think that's shifted as with the newer generations. I don't know, they realize it's not that important.

00:33:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, pull, My kids are teenagers and I don't completely bar them from swearing in the house, but I discourage it. I think it's a bad habit, it's lazy, it's it's not gonna help them out. So I think the less they do it, the better will work out. They get salty at me sometimes I don't say that, but I think it's a good plan.

00:33:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know if a five year old goes, man, I'm so tired of using you know, the F word. I'm not going to say it again the rest of my life. Like I don't, I just don't. Then it becomes just part of your vernacular. And what happens if somebody comes over. You're in your house, you're able to use this, but somebody who doesn't know this, and all of a sudden you hear your Yeah, their kid dropping F bombs.

00:33:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, well people have done that forever. They're it'll swear when like dinner gets everything, Like, I have no idea where he learned that, And everyone's like, we do it was you?

00:34:07
Speaker 2: They giggle, Oh, isn't a cute No, it's not.

Dude wipes Wetter is better bailable at Amazon and major retailers nationwide. Dude wipes best clean pants down early poll results, Dylan, Yeah.

00:35:29
Speaker 3: Dan, we had which underdog in the NBA Finals is advancing? Fifty nine percent are saying the Timberwolves, okay, out of the Cavs, seventy six ers, Lakers and they And then was Lebron making an excuse when citing Lucas absence for the lack of scoring. We have twisted the words a little bit, yes, no, or yes but valid. Fifty one and a half say yes but valid.

00:35:50
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's an excuse, it's just a reminder a reason. Yeah yeah, Now it's gonna be labeled an excuse, and I would just say it's just a reminder. Hey, we don't have one of the greatest scorers in the game. Yeah, Mart, But.

00:36:07
Speaker 5: PAULI brought this up in the first segment they asked him about this. He didn't just bring it up out of nowhere. So he's just answering a question like, what's with your offensive struggles? I'm sorry, our leading scorer, the NBA's leading scorer isn't here.

00:36:20
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Paul, It's almost so obvious you have to say that if you're Lebron, we don't have Luca and we're facing the best defensive team in the league and in recent history.

00:36:31
Speaker 2: Jeff and Champa, Hi, Jeff, what's on your mind today?

00:36:35
Speaker 11: I was just hearing the detections were kind of, you know, hemming and hiring over whether they should pay CJ.

00:36:42
Speaker 2: Stroud.

00:36:43
Speaker 11: Now, I mean, I don't know how many twenty four year old quarterbacks have three playoff wins. And I don't see him with he didn't have an elite receivers E league running backs. I know he hadn't Natrocis last playoff game, and you don't you know, you don't have to play at top dollar. Maybe you try to save a little, but you at least give him rock certain money. Like my mom listened to his degree.

00:37:03
Speaker 2: I got a he's regressed, and you know the problem is the price that he's going to be asking for. That's where you know, I need a little more of a sample size here. I need to know that what happened in the playoffs last year at the end of the regular season isn't the new norm here. Every quarterback goes through injuries with offensive line or wide receivers. It happens. But that's where great quarterbacks can make up for losses or deficits. That's what he has to do. Does he have the talent. He's shown that. But what we saw, I mean, there's a few quarterbacks I will always wait later. And even if I'm upsetting a quarterback or his agent or he's not going to want to stay here, they're going to stay where the money is. I need you to show me. Look at Miami with to a tongue of iyloh, look at Kyler Murray in Arizona, Like there's a list of these quarterbacks where I go, no, wait, it's okay to wait. I know it's going to cost me more, but you know what cost me a whole lot more when I go early. And now I'm stuck with you. If it means all right, I got to spend five more, five million more each year, and now I'm comfortable with that decision. But no c J. Strowd. I mean they just extended will Anderson. That's the interesting part because those guys you would think would be a package deal. Yeah, PAULI, if.

00:38:34
Speaker 6: They signed c J. Stroud, you would think it would be for as much or more than Brock Purdy got, rock Perty got five years, two hundred and sixty five million, one hundred and eighty one million guaranteed. It's got to be north of that. That's how it works in this business. So that's what you're getting into.

00:38:50
Speaker 2: Mark in Rochester. I like that it's bothering him, you know, in April or May now about c J. Stroud. Hey Mark, you might take us.

00:38:59
Speaker 7: Hey Dan, how are you good?

00:39:00
Speaker 8: Mark?

00:39:01
Speaker 2: Are you busy?

00:39:02
Speaker 4: At one?

00:39:02
Speaker 7: And I just want to I am. I'm actually working at a coffee shop right now and I have two people waiting for me, so I'll try to be efficient with my words.

00:39:11
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:39:12
Speaker 7: I actually used to work for an affiliate. I work for Hot Talk twelve ADWHGK now Fox Sports Rochester, and I just wanted to thank you for everything that you've done.

00:39:23
Speaker 1: For me.

00:39:24
Speaker 7: And I was talking to your aid and I said, do you know how your parents allow you to open up one Christmas gift on Christmas Eve? And my gift, the best gifts I ever got was The Big Show, and I literally ruined Christmas because I stayed up all night reading that show, reading the book, and you inspired me to have a journalism career. So I just wanted to thank you.

00:39:54
Speaker 2: Well, I feel bad you're working in a coffee shop that now after reading my book, I got to get you back in the business.

00:40:03
Speaker 7: I yes, you do. And then also, here's here's a different take that you know how when you watch sports with different people, they you know because that played be a small in college, and like, I just viewed the game differently. My girlfriend has a theory that when Aaron Judge is chewing bubble gum, he's relaxed. When he's chewing seeds, he's nervous. I don't know the analytics, but maybe that could be the next stat of the day.

00:40:30
Speaker 2: All right, we'll work on that, mark. Now, take care of your customers.

00:40:33
Speaker 3: Yes, Dylan, that is actually kind of the inside information I need when it comes to placing bets. I never even thought of that before. But if Judge is smacking on some bubblegum, maybe he's about dat to home run.

00:40:45
Speaker 2: I saw Altuve homwered last night. Otani gave up two home runs last night, didn't get any run support, and then Altuvey struck out. He missed the ball so far outside that The joke on social media was he it buy an L two V that if you put L two ve whereas bat ends where the ball ended up outside the strike zone, it would be about five feet seven inches away.

00:41:11
Speaker 4: That's not very nice.

00:41:12
Speaker 2: Thank you, Tod. Tim Legler from the Mothership will join us. There is a new poll out of the most overrated player in the NBA. A couple of surprises on that list. More of your phone calls as well.
