Hour 2 – Deeper Dives, Jim “Bones” Mackay

00:00:00
Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.

00:00:04
Speaker 2: It's our two on this Tuesday, Dan and the Dan Nets Dan Patrick Show. Come on in stay awhile we'll check in with Phil Michelson's former caddy Bones mackayill join us. We'll talk about is Tiger going to go to Augusta and is he going to try to play. We also had a report from TMZ about fifteen minutes ago that police found hydro codone pills treated for chronic arthritis and pain. Found that in Tiger's pocket at the time of his arrest when he overturned his suv. We don't know any other information. It's been pretty tight lipped in Tiger's circles, as it normally is. But I'm curious if he will be going to Augusta next week. He does have a golf project that he is heading up his design company, and he's also expected to be or a hope he'll be at the Champions dinner as well. Eight seven seven to three DP Show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, Thank you for downloading the app. We say good morning to our radio affiliates as well, a lot of conversation, not only about Tiger in the first hour, but also the Danny Hurley moment after the Braylan Mullen shot with four tenths of a second to go. I'm gonna thank the Yukon Basketball Sports Information Office because I wanted to know. Has anybody talked to Dan Hurley about this and it can? Can he give context to his relationship with Roger Ayres who was the official there, veteran official, and what was the conversation, What were the words exchanged? And I'll read what I got from the Sports Information office. I don't know if he said anything publicly. He meets with the locals this afternoon. I'm sure that that will come up. I think what Roger Airs told Seth Greenberg tracks with coaches perspective. I can confirm that he was telling coach Hurley that he was looking at the clock and it was extremely loud in there. But yeah, I'm just curious about it because it feels like Dan Hurley, who was he ejected or got a technical? He made contact with an official I believe earlier this year and got teed up for that. Marvin, does that sound right with that okay, and I think there were a lot of people who were saying, Oh, is he getting away with something. I don't know why in that moment you would try to intimidate or say a thing to an official. You just had one of the greatest moments of your coaching career, one of the greatest moments in March Madness history, and I don't know why at that moment there would be any kind of confrontation. Does feel like the official Roger Airs was going to the scorers table because he wanted to see you got to make sure you set or reset the clock, and I think that's what he was doing, and maybe said to Hurley, I'm going to check the clock. Hurley may have said something back to him. But you know, I just heard from a college basketball source who said, uh, let me get this right. Because I did not think of this, I would expect It's possible the Basketball Committee discussed the matter during its officiating selection call yesterday and may have opted to keep Roger Airs out of the final four to avoid any distraction or question regarding this assignment. In fairness, it also wouldn't be unusual for the official to contact the committee and request to be removed from consideration so as not to be a distraction. All right, So that's from my college basketball source, who also said Airs worked three Yukon games each of the last two seasons and officiated u CON's championship game in twenty twenty three. He also worked one hundred and fourteen games this season, seventh most in men's basketball. He's worked six national semifinal games one national championship game. All right, So just some background there on the official who was involved in this, Roger Ayres and Dan Hurley Seaton update the poll results from our one if you.

00:04:26
Speaker 3: Can please, Yeah, we got two of them up there. How present will Tiger Woods be at the Masters this year? Your options are he'll play there for some events, or won't be there at all. Okay, won't be there at all. Currently has seventy four percent of that vote. About ten percent of the audience think he'll play. We also have up there Dan Hurley in the ref big deal not a big deal? We might play big deal not a big deal today?

00:04:52
Speaker 4: Really sure? Not a big deal? Currently has sixty three percent of them.

00:04:56
Speaker 2: Okay, a lot of people have an opinion on it. You may not think it's a big deal. But it's a deal. I can't it's odd. I think we can all agree it's odd in that moment to have that kind of I can't even. I've got to come up with a word. It's not an altercation? Is it an engagement? And incident? A moment, a run in. I don't have no idea how to describe that. It's not a headbut because the headline riders are going crazy with the headbut from Dan Hurley with the official Yeah, Pauline.

00:05:30
Speaker 5: Dan Hurley was ejected from a March seventh game at Marquette for making contact with official John Gaffney.

00:05:37
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, some phone calls here, h do you have a pull question for hour two? Seat and we're gonna go in. Yeah, we're gonna keep those up. Okay, all right, it sounds good. Fred in South Carolina, Good morning, Fred, what's on your mind today?

00:05:50
Speaker 6: Good morning, Dame. The dan Nett's got a couple of things. I think the I team needs to get on this with Marley Mattlin because I've looked at that video. I don't see his lips moving at all. I mean, look at it, watch his lips. So I think it's just a macho thing of Hey, wasn't that great or whatever? But I think you're right, maybe that referee should recluse himself and say, let's don't even continue this topic another topic for you. How many times we can do some more research on this. But think of all the men's and women's teams in the Sweet sixteen Elite eight. I mean, we've got yukon men and women. We've got dum when men and women in Texas UCLA. Just a lot of good basketball out there. I'll leave that item thing, and you got guys talking to Marley and wait for your results.

00:06:42
Speaker 2: Have a good day, all right, All right, Marlee Mattlin. So you have a famous actress? Did she win an Academy Award? I think she got numbed? I think she won. I think she won an Academy Award.

00:06:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, well Best Actress nineteen eighty six, Children of a Lesser God?

00:07:02
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, back to you normally, matt Thank you.

00:07:04
Speaker 5: Luckily I had her bio up.

00:07:05
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't think we were going to talk about Marley Mattlin today bt my notes, But I'm glad that you you had that ready, PAULI thank you.

00:07:12
Speaker 7: That sounds like a fake name of a movie, by the way, like if there was a movie and in the movie there was an awards show and the award goes to Children of a Lesser God. Doesn't even sound real.

00:07:22
Speaker 2: Matt in North Carolina, Good morning, Matt. What's on your mind today?

00:07:27
Speaker 8: Hey, Dan Boys Stemen, quick question, Rob, Rob Dreyers or a statement. I've had the fortunate pleasure of being courtside for a few of his games, and he really interacts great with the fans kids. I think his brain, by the short, circuited along with Hurley with that shot, because it probably was one of the greatest pieces he's ever seen it As being a little league umpire, I got to stick with him for baseball that we lose, have to stick together.

00:07:59
Speaker 9: So I think it's.

00:08:01
Speaker 8: Much about nothing because everyone who saw that shot was in stunned amazement, and I think Hurley's brain just completely went haywire.

00:08:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost like an out of body experience that he was having there. But thank you for the phone call. Matt Red in Georgia, Hi, Red, what's on your mind today?

00:08:22
Speaker 10: Quickly? Dan?

00:08:23
Speaker 2: On?

00:08:23
Speaker 10: Dan Hurler Man, whatever, Dan do, whatever y'all take from it and joint because he's great for college basketball. Hey Dan, what this Lucal thing?

00:08:32
Speaker 11: Man?

00:08:32
Speaker 10: When you gotta player like Luca, his office is his defense. I don't want Luca to get tired playing defense and take a back. I want you to stroll Luca. I'm gonna put you on the worst scoring player on the team. You call him if he wrong past you. I want the other playoffs to step up and take his flag. That's what you do as a team for Lucas.

00:08:54
Speaker 2: Hey Red, it's a fair point. I've said this before that you still have to guard me, and odds are I'm going to be outscoring you. You make sure that Lucas not on a great player where you're going to expend a lot of energy at the other end. But I agree, you still have to guard me, and chances are I'm gonna outscore you.

00:09:16
Speaker 5: Yes, Paulie, I'm sure Lamar Jackson could play defensive back if need be. And I know it's a different support. But nobody cares about Luca on defense. They got four of the guys who got to pick up the defense.

00:09:26
Speaker 2: Well, I care about Luca on the defensive end. I just want him to try.

00:09:30
Speaker 5: I think we know what it is at this juncture.

00:09:33
Speaker 2: It's like we pick and choose with this topic we do. It drives me crazy because if we're talking about both ends of the floor, then give Wemby the MVP, because if you talk about the most complete player in the game, you're talking about and he's an A plus on the defensive end, and let's say he's an A minus on the offensive end. Let's average this out. If I give Sga an A plus an offense and I give him a B B minus on defense. If I give Joker an A plus on offense and I give him a C plus B minus, like, just average it out if that's what you want to do. And that's, you know, the lazy approach that analysts have. And he doesn't play any defense. James Harden didn't either. Mike's the rare guy, the rare guy who was not a seven footer who was playing defense, you know, at an a level. When you're an MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, let that sink in. That's the amazing part of and a guy who did he'd liked playing defense. But Wemby is going to be MVP and Defensive Player of the Year really soon. And the fact that those odds have gone from two hundred and twenty five I think plus two two hundred twenty five hundred plus twenty five hundred two plus two twenty five in the span of about two weeks.

00:11:10
Speaker 12: Yes, Marvin is Wemby's lack of postseason success holding him back from being a real candidate for the MVP Award this season.

00:11:18
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:11:19
Speaker 12: Probably, So your postseason success determines your regular season MVP award.

00:11:26
Speaker 2: I think that we like to see what you're gonna do, and it's like, we need to validate your greatness by what are you gonna do in the postseason, then the following year we can give you an MVP. Yes, Mark, the.

00:11:39
Speaker 12: Joel Mbat MVP Award is aging like milk.

00:11:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's big perk on NBA today because he led that charge with like two weeks to go. He's telling the voters, you guys are gonna make a big mistake giving Joker another MVP. It should be Joel mb And look, Joe Ellenbiid's been through an awful lot and he's put up some really incredible numbers, but he wasn't better than Joker. He wasn't playing simple. Oh I know, Embiid. I'm sure, he was a lockdown defender. He played great. But when we start to pick and choose and you know, then make sure you use it across all platforms with all players. If that's what you're going to do and you want to factor that in, great, But nobody did that with James Harden I never heard. Yeah he didn't play defense, Yeah, but he plays offense at a really high level. Yeah, Pauli.

00:12:38
Speaker 5: The Spurs are two and a half games back of the Thunder right now. The Thunder have six games to go. The Spurs have seven games to go. They got a little work to do. We talked about this.

00:12:48
Speaker 2: Do they play each other? Checking? Okay, but if the Spurs have the best record, then Webby should win MVP.

00:12:55
Speaker 11: Correct.

00:12:58
Speaker 2: Correct, That's what we've been based this off of best player on the best team.

00:13:03
Speaker 11: Yeah.

00:13:03
Speaker 2: Point, they do not face each other, but they could be facing each other in the playoffs.

00:13:08
Speaker 5: The Thunder face the Lakers on twice. Sure, so that will get national TV play.

00:13:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see Mike in Sarasota. Hi, Mike, what's on your mind today?

00:13:18
Speaker 4: Hey?

00:13:18
Speaker 13: DP, how you doing today? So yesterday you were you guys were talking about the favorite sports moment. So just real quick. I got a favorite one first time seeing Mike Tyson live on pay per view and it was against Buster Douglas. So and then secondly, the refs for the Oklahoma City game. Do you think they're gonna call the same way in the playoffs that they did last night as far as going to overtime and things like that.

00:13:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was that had to be called like that was embarrassing. If it wasn't, it wasn't a flop. But once again, I really think this is incumbent upon the officials and the NBA. Do you need I'm sure they've discussed this of how are we going to call this player? Like with Shaq like they had to confer to go how do we call a foul on shot? He got fouled every time down the floor just about and I mean true fouls like it was, you know, Chuck Chuck Norris type of you know, I'm going to chop your arm off if I can. But I if I'm Adam Silver, I want to make sure that I don't let SGA go to the line twenty nine times or twenty five times, because I don't think it's a good look for the NBA. Yes, Mark.

00:14:38
Speaker 12: Speaking of push offs, we can talked to Reggie about pushing off.

00:14:40
Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa. Sorry, he admits that he did. Yeah, he pushed off, But so did the greatest player in maybe his greatest moment, Mike pushing off in Utah. I didn't see that, Yeah I did. Oh, I got early World Old Cup odds. Let me take a break here. These are teas worthy. I think it's a huge day, by the way for your Italian squad. They got a big qualifier today, they got a win to get in. Well, they got Jimmy Skinjeel and Tommy Kalamari. The chances are they're gonna be in good shape. All right, we'll take a break. I'll give you the early World Cup odds, and then we'll talk to Bones Macay, the great analyst for NBC and former caddy for Phil Nicholson. Back after this.

Speaker 2: More phone calls coming up. Everybody has an opinion, not only on Tiger. We just saw where TMZ reported that Tiger had hyder codo and a couple of pills in his pocket, and they saw the police report and it goes back to here's Tiger in an accident and you're waiting for the police to arrive, and he leaves the pills in his pocket. He could have discarded them. And we still don't know if he's going to show up for the Champions dinner, if he's going to try to play or not. And also everybody has an opinion on the Dan Hurley situation as well. Eight seven to seven to three DP Show email address Dpdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. He's Jim Bones Mackay, NBC Sports on Course reporter, former caddy for Phil Mickelson and Justin Thomas. How you feeling today.

00:17:06
Speaker 11: Bones I'm doing great, Dan, How are you?

00:17:08
Speaker 2: I'm good. How many miles do you think you've walked in your career as an en course reporter and a caddy.

00:17:15
Speaker 15: It's a good question. A guy came up to me once to determine. I think I was in the Open Championship and he had done some math around some what the caddies had done. He told me I'd walked around the globe twice with a golf bag bag on my back, so my knee still hurts. So if that's any indication I've walked a lot.

00:17:33
Speaker 2: Have you had a game time decision whether you were going to be able to caddy for Phil or justin.

00:17:41
Speaker 15: You know, certainly traveling around the globe and doing certain things you've run into, you know, food poisoning and things like that. I missed a couple of days over the course of thirty years of caddying, but I've never had like a major injury or anything like that that kept me from working.

00:17:54
Speaker 2: Before I get to Tiger, I want to ask you about Phil Micholson because we haven't heard much from Phil either, and I don't know is he Do you expect him to be at the Masters. Is he still wanting to compete on a high level.

00:18:07
Speaker 11: Yeah.

00:18:07
Speaker 15: I think phill is a guy that's that would think he could win the Masters into his sixties.

00:18:12
Speaker 11: So it's just the way he's built.

00:18:14
Speaker 15: He's you know, back playing competitive golf again now on his tour, so I would expect he'll he'll show up at the Masters and he'll be intent on winning.

00:18:23
Speaker 2: What's it like though, for a caddie and a player, Let's say this time, you know, leading up to the Masters, what are you doing? What's your player doing to get ready?

00:18:35
Speaker 15: I think watching you know, it gets back to what we're some of what we're talking about today with what the incredible Masters App and what's available out there in terms of watching previous Masters and picking up you know, breaks on greens and wins on twelve and things like that. So there's there's so much you can delve into now, especially again once you get into the Master's App, which is an award winning and the greatest app in sports. You ask me that you can learn to help you out there on the golf course, but are you playing?

00:19:06
Speaker 2: Are you going to augusta a week before?

00:19:10
Speaker 15: There's real rules in terms of what the caddies can and can't do.

00:19:14
Speaker 11: You can't, you know, just.

00:19:15
Speaker 15: Go out there as a caddy a week before and walk the golf course a number of times and roll balls on the greens. You can only do it once your players showed up to town, so to speak. The players can play as much as they want to, but the caddies really don't get a chance to get a crack at the golf course until tournament week.

00:19:31
Speaker 2: When's the last time you played Augusta last November? How'd you do.

00:19:39
Speaker 15: It's getting away from me a little bit. I'm at that age now where golf and I are getting along that well.

00:19:43
Speaker 11: But I did all right, thank you IBM.

00:19:47
Speaker 2: And the Masters are unveiling a new AI powered feature. This is what Jim was talking about. So this is an immersive way for fans to experience the Masters. You go Masters dot com and tell me more about the app of what fans can experience with this.

00:20:05
Speaker 15: Well, you know, you can get out there through the Master's app and you can see every hole, every shot, every player in real time. It's an amazing thing. It's it's an award winning app and it's a must have in terms of keeping up with what's going on in the tournament if you're not on property. And it's got a couple of additional features this year, It's got the Master's Vault Search, which enables you to go back over fifty years and just you know, type in, you know, Tiger's chip shot on sixteen, and it'll bring it up and show you, you know, great moments in past Master's history, or Jack Nicholas's amazing putt on sixteen and nineteen seventy five on his way to another win. It's just an incredible way to immerse yourself in the tournament and get ready fired up for this year's Masters.

00:20:47
Speaker 2: I was surprised hal hilly when I first went to Augusta back in the early nineties. It doesn't people don't assume that it's going to be hilly in Georgia Augusta. That's really surprised me. And the elevation, the changing and elevation. That's why you know when we talk about these guys have to walk this course. You don't get you don't get cards, You've got to walk it. And that's what you know when you're looking at Tiger trying to be able to play in previous years, maybe this year that elevation takes its toll on these guys.

00:21:19
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's you're You're exactly right.

00:21:21
Speaker 15: It's what you know, first time ers say without you know, question the shocks and the most about being on the property is you know, walking up eight or you know walking up the even the first fair way, if you will, to your t shot, it's it's it's rigorous and it takes a.

00:21:34
Speaker 11: Toll on your body.

00:21:35
Speaker 15: And not only does your golf game have to be in good shape, but you have to be as physically as well.

00:21:40
Speaker 2: What do you expect from Tiger next week? Where is he going to be in your opinion?

00:21:45
Speaker 15: Oh man, it's such a tough question. I hope he's there. I certainly hope he's at the Champions dinner. You know, it would be great to have people rally around him there. Whether or not he plays, I don't know. I'm sure the events of last week, may you know, affect whether or not he ultimately does tee it up in the tournament. But uh, wherever he is, I hope he's got, you know, his friends close by, and there's a lot of people out there that are that are there for him, so to speak.

00:22:13
Speaker 2: What was it like though, You're there with Phil, and Phil's going toe to toe with Tiger, and you're the caddie. Are is there part of you that's competitive with Stevie Williams? You know, Tiger's cat like you, you have to this is my guy, that's your guy. You know, how did the caddies kind of approach that rivalry?

00:22:36
Speaker 15: Yeah, there's a little of that, certainly with you know, with Steve and I, you're you're competitive. I was actually pretty good friends with Tiger and still am and and and certainly you don't want that to become a factor when you're out there trying to win the Masters on a Sunday. I'm out there doing my thing with Phil. But uh, you know, those guys, you know, we're obviously on a different page for most of their careers in terms of, you know, how they went about things and their relationship itself. So I usually kept to what I was doing with Phil, and you know, if you had a moment, you might have a conversation with Tiger about this or that, but uh, you know, usually, you know, those guys got paired together late on a Sunday, you're trying to win the Masters of some other huge event. You're you're you're you're just you know, clawing and trying to pick up every shot you can.

00:23:21
Speaker 2: What is it like? Now you're an on course analyst, But when you see the live players and the regular PGA tour players interacting like is it? Well, you tell me if if it feels like forced a little? You know, they can't. Are they buddy buddies still even though they're playing on rival tours?

00:23:40
Speaker 15: I think it depends on the player. I mean, you know, you look at a guy like Dustin Johnson. I mean, he's still you know, a lot of people love Dustin and for good reason. He's uh, he's a wonderful guy. And and I think when he left to do his thing, he did it in the appropriate way. I just think it depends player to player where some of the guys might have left in a different fashion.

00:24:03
Speaker 2: Tiger at his peak, Scotty Scheffler right now in the embryonic stages of his career. Can you make any comparisons between those two?

00:24:13
Speaker 15: I can say that I never thought in my lifetime I'm sixty years old that there would be another player that I would say, Hey, my gosh, he's entering that conversation.

00:24:24
Speaker 11: Is he as good as Tiger. No, he's not.

00:24:25
Speaker 15: I Tiger is by far the best player I've ever seen, but I didn't think i'd see another player this good in terms of what Scotty Scheffler is accomplishing on the PGA Tour.

00:24:36
Speaker 2: What's your signature moment?

00:24:41
Speaker 15: I guess that conversation with Phil and the trees at number thirteen and Augusta in twenty ten, when we had a little back and forth as to what the best you know.

00:24:51
Speaker 11: Strategy was out of those trees, and of.

00:24:53
Speaker 15: Course Phil wanted to go for it, you know, from the moment he set foot behind the ball and saw that there was a gap in the pines. And you know, it's not that I try to talk him out of it, because he was insistent on going, but we had to get that club selection right.

00:25:06
Speaker 8: Uh.

00:25:06
Speaker 15: It worked out nicely and on his way to his third Master's victory.

00:25:10
Speaker 2: But how does that work where you have to have an opinion? He gives you the opportunity to have opinion. What happens when your opinion doesn't coincide with his?

00:25:22
Speaker 15: Well, he's the boss, certainly, and Phil was a you know, wasn't a very opinionated, you know, strongly he he he had he was There was no self doubt there with Phil, and that was great.

00:25:37
Speaker 11: He made it easy to work for him.

00:25:39
Speaker 15: And uh so, you know, usually when his mind he had his mind set on something, you know, he was going to go ahead and go and do it, you know, and I would I would say my piece and and kind.

00:25:49
Speaker 11: Of back out of there. But uh he.

00:25:52
Speaker 15: The thing that's interesting about that shot out of the trees was I worked for the guy for twenty five years. It was one of only two occasions where we got ourselves into a bit of a pickle where he told me what he was going to do before I even gave him the yardage. So he on that particular shot, he had his mind made up and he was ready to roll.

00:26:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it turned out great for both of you guys. Tell us one more time how people can access all this data AI from Masters.

00:26:20
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's just available through the Masters app. You can get it there on your phone or on your on your device, and it's it's just an incredible thing to have and to you to be able to keep up with this year's tournament. And it's the most amazing app in sports that I've ever come across.

00:26:35
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you, Jim, thanks for joining us.

00:26:38
Speaker 11: Thank you, Dan, take care.

00:26:39
Speaker 2: That's Bones Mackay. You can see him on NBC. They're on course reporter, former caddy for Phil Micholson and Justin Thomas. I remember when Stevie Williams was talking about the we with Tiger, like we've won all of these tournaments and we've won all these majors. And I talked to Bones and I said, how many tournaments have you and Phil one? And he goes, I didn't win Phil won the tournaments, you know, And that's now. Do I think the caddy plays a role a large role. It depends on the player, But you would have thought that Stevie Williams was It's this was a fifty to fifty partnership. I could have caddied for Tiger, I think, and he would have won a few majors. I just don't know if I could have carried the bag four days.

00:27:23

He goes, which one is it? They need the exact exact number there, but Masters dot com to get all of that good stuff there. He's not sure if Tiger is going to be there.

Speaker 5: Sports radio shows in France will be using that one. Yeah, discussing that one.

00:31:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see Kyle and Austin morning. Kyle, what's on your mind today?

00:31:21
Speaker 1: Hey?

00:31:21
Speaker 10: Dan?

00:31:21
Speaker 16: I would just wanted to piggyback off something you mentioned earlier.

00:31:24
Speaker 2: With Tiger.

00:31:24
Speaker 16: It was heartbreaking for me to see him go through one of these situations again. I'm someone who battles with addiction, and I had a seven eight year span where my life was just really kind of falling apart. I mean, on paper, I had, you know, everything going for me. I've got great career, three kids, amazing place to live, and I just, you know, I was going through life lying to myself and lying to my wife and lying to my kids, and I had to finally, I'm sorry. It's kind of emotional. You know, you have to take that personal accountability, you have to want to change, and so I remember being in a position like Tiger's. Not an accident or something negative, but that mindset of I'm in control. And so now now that I'm through that, my testimony is a beautiful thing because I you know, I'm accountable to my kids, I'm accountable to my wife. I acknowledge my past mistakes, the line, the sneaking around, and the non accountability, and so you know, I use that as a testimony to raise my kids to be aware of the pitfalls. You know, addition can be genetic, it can be by choice, but it comes with that.

00:32:36
Speaker 2: That desire to want to change and want to be a person.

00:32:39
Speaker 16: So I just want to share that My prayers go out the Tiger and his family and everybody else that has to go through that.

00:32:46
Speaker 4: Love your guys, show have a great day, Falling.

00:32:48
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, Kyle, Thank you for sharing. Yeah, you can have it in your family tree. And I remind my kids all the time that it's in the family tree on both sides, with my wife and myself. And you just have to be aware. But you have to be willing to be honest with yourself. That's all. With Tiger. You know, you have two of these vicodin in your pocket, and you don't have the wherewithal to take those out and throw those away at the scene of the accident. And if you have it in a bottle, in a prescription bottle, if it's contained, that's one thing. But it's in his pocket. This is vicodin, and vicodin does what you want vicodin to do. Makes you feel better, You get that warm feeling you don't want to feel anything. And who knows what all the surgeries that he's had, like how much pain you wake up every single day? And then how do I get through the day? And he's not able to play competitive golf anymore. I mean, you can make it appearance at TGL, but nine swings is not walking four days at Augusta. And you wonder later in his life, like what is he going to do? This is all he's known. He's been in front of us since he was two years of age. What is what is he going to do? Not gonna be an analyst? Are you able to play in the Senior Tour? They'll give him, you know, a cart, but I don't know if he wants to. You know, do you want to play? How badly do you want to play? Do you want to play? And you know it's going to hurt. So there's there's a lot going on with this story. This is, but it's a microcosm of what's been happening with Tiger. People got to be honest with him. Man, But he's got to be honest with himself because I remember trying to put somebody into rehab. We basically had a palace coup and it was tough. You know, it was tough love. But you know what, I look back, and we saved somebody's life. We did save somebody's life. But they have to be willing to be honest with himself. All right, we'll take a break.

Hi Judd, what's on your mind today?

00:36:03
Speaker 9: Good morning, Dan, the first time caller, you know with Tiger. Obviously he is going to have to face this addiction problem, just like you were just talking about with Bones, both legally and even more so in the court of public opinion. But it just got me thinking that, you know, we should talk about the entire man as long as we're going to, you know, talk about the mistakes he's made behind the wheel. And I'm not trying to condone that whatsoever, but I do want to take into consideration for what this man has not only meant to the game of golf with fifteen majors and eighty two wins, but what he's done to help kids. He started his foundation with his parents back in nineteen ninety six. They've raised about two hundred million dollars. They've started these Tiger Woods learning as first one in Anaheim, where he grew up, second one in Philadelphia, third one will be in augusta Georgia, and the fourth one will be in Atlanta. It's a great public private partnership where they identify a school.

00:37:17
Speaker 2: And no, I know, look, jud we understand all of the things that Tiger has done and accomplished. What if he killed somebody driving? This is separate the other stuff, the philanthropic stuff, the greatest golfer of all time, all of that stays. This is now, That's what we're talking about. It's now. He had hydro codone in his pocket, he rolled his suv. He's done this a couple of times. I mean, he's lucky to be here. See you can bring up his resume and open up the scrap book. That's great, but he's going to throw it all away. That's the point we're trying to make. I'm not trying to denigrate him. We've acknowledged his greatness. We've acknowledged all the things that he's done. But now we got to acknowledge what's happening right in front of us. There's a big difference in that. Michael and fort Wayne. Hi, Mike, what's on your mind?

00:38:30
Speaker 17: Hey, good morning, Dan, Thanks for taking Mike ball. I had a realization this morning, as we're talking about Dan Hurley. He is the Todd fritz of the coaching world. Some people love him, some people hate him. But you can always count on him to do two things. One he will make content and two he will make it all about himself.

00:38:51
Speaker 2: Wow. So Dan Hurley is the Fritzie of the college basketball world. Is there a small compliment in there somewhere?

00:38:58
Speaker 8: I don't know.

00:38:58
Speaker 12: You've got to really.

00:38:59
Speaker 2: Dig for that one similar hairstyle.

00:39:01
Speaker 12: All right, so just piling on.

00:39:04
Speaker 4: It's pretty close.

00:39:07
Speaker 16: I'm a little crazy too.

00:39:08
Speaker 9: We all know that.

00:39:09
Speaker 2: Yes you are, Yes, you are. David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on your mind?

00:39:15
Speaker 10: Hey, Tod.

00:39:16
Speaker 9: I'll make it feel a little bit better here.

00:39:18
Speaker 8: I think what Dan Hurley said, and this is the Utah his favorite Bruce Springsteen saw him when that three went down.

00:39:25
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, thank you, thank you, Tom.

00:39:29
Speaker 2: I think we missed the punchline at least a portion of it. Ronda in Texas, Hi, Ronda.

00:39:34
Speaker 18: Welcome back, Good morning, Dan and dance. Two comments. First stat of the day. WIMVP had a season high forty one points and sixteen rebounds while collecting the fastest double MNBA history last night the Santonio Spurs when they're not straight. Defeiting the Chicago Bulls to one fourteen, Wenby had ten points, ten rebounds in his first eight minutes thirty one seconds on the court. That was his tenth rebound was in the one minute and fifty five seconds in the second quarter. The second fastest time that's ever happened in NBA history was when Jim Washington of the Saint Louis Hawks had a double double in nine minutes against the New York Knicks on March sixth, nineteen sixty six. That's the stat of the day. And then also, I have a suggestion for the Las Vegas NBA team. I know the NHL has the Dallas Stars, and yet what do you think about the Las Vegas Stars since the city is filled with celebrities? Thank you, Dan?

00:40:49
Speaker 2: All righty Rohnda, thank you, thank you. Isn't there a minor league baseball team Las Vegas Stars? Does that sound right? Am I making that up? What about the Las Vegas Strip? Did we decide yay or nay?

00:41:06
Speaker 8: On?

00:41:06
Speaker 2: That sounds like a nay okay? All right, Reggie Miller, he's ready to go. He'll join us in about twenty five minutes from now. The final hour in this Tuesday, right after this
