This is Radhi Devlukia from A really Good Cry I absolutely love being outdoors, even if it's just stepping outside for a bit of fresh air between meals or taking a mindful walk to clear my head. But the one thing that can really ruin that is when my feet feel cramped in my shoes. So I switch to ultra running and honestly, it makes such a difference. What I love most is their signature Ultra Fit, Comfort, Balance strength. They have this roomy toe box that lets my toes actually spread and move naturally.

[Show Host/Producer]

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio.

[Dan Patrick]

He's Bruce Pearl Turner and CBS Sports College basketball analyst, three time national Coach of the Year. And in case you didn't know, former Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl what's bothering you today? Coach the life is good dance.

[Bruce Pearl]

Great to see you. My heart breaks for my son. But you know what? You got a chance to win your way in or lose your Way out. And Auburn probably was just one more win away from dancing.

[Dan Patrick]

How would you rate your week or the last 10 days or two weeks, let's say, as an analyst?

[Bruce Pearl]

That's a great question, Dan. I was a basketball coach, head coach for 30 years and been in basketball for 48 years. And so this analyst thing and being in the media is brand new. So I am a rookie at that, even though I'm 66 years old now. And sometimes you don't know how you're doing. I mean, when I used to play or used to coach, there was a scoreboard. I get. I get off and I'm like, I don't know. I don't know how I did. I imagine some people think I'm entertaining. I would imagine some think of. People think I'm an idiot and. But you never know whether you're winning or losing.

[Dan Patrick]

But does somebody tell you, I mean, you got headlines. I don't know if you feel like that's part of your job.

[Bruce Pearl]

No, I don't think it's part of my job. I think my job is to tell you what I think based on my years of experience. And I've never, as you know, Dan, I've never been politically correct, so I really don't worry about that stuff. And what I did learn, though, is sometimes when you do give your opinion about something, you know, you can be. It can be taken out of context or you can take it a task. And I really don't mind either one of them. Right now, I'm the ugly stepmother because I asked the question, are we looking for the 37 best teams or the 37 most deserving teams when it came to the at large? And so that. Because that way I became enemy number one again.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, how much of the story of Miami, Ohio helped them get into the tournament?

[Bruce Pearl]

I'd say about 95%, and that's fine. There is a human element that exists in that room, and it should exist. You don't just go by the metrics. You just don't go by the. The numbers of math. You gotta have a little bit of a feel. And so as I said this from the very beginning, I would put them in the field. I would put them in the field. If you want to tell me, do they qualify based on these metrics? The answer is absolutely not. And it's interesting, Dan, last night I asked, when I on cbs, I asked Chairman Gill, I said, okay, last two in, first two out. What were the metrics? That was sort of the defining factor for you, you know, that, that's a fair question, right?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Bruce Pearl]

And he said, he said quality wins. Quality wins was. He said, I said and I did not follow up out of respect. And you know, these are things we could talk about the next day. Miami Ohio doesn't have a quality win. Oklahoma and Auburn, who were the last teams left out, have a half a dozen quality wins each. And so I think it sort of just added to the drama a little bit. But look, I'm happy they're in. They deserve to be in the field. It's what the Cinderellas are all about. And so I think we need to sort of adjust the metric so we get more of these mid major teams in a tournament. But the way it's set up right now, you've got to make an exception.

[Dan Patrick]

I thought Stanford had a better argument than Oklahoma and Auburn.

[Bruce Pearl]

Coach, tell me why.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, would they have five quad one victories? They had 20 plus wins. I mean just start there. It feels like a pretty good resume.

[Bruce Pearl]

I agree. No, it's a good resume. And one of the things I've said all along is I don't think anybody got screwed here. Nobody got screwed. I don't think it was anybody. Oh my God. Okay, how did this team get in or not get in? You can make an argument for Stanford. You can make an argument for. If they said to me if VCU didn't win their tournament, they were going to be out. And I would have made an argument for VCU. The argument for Auburn was they played 17 quad one games. 17. Miami Ohio played one quad two. I mean it's very difficult when you talk about apples and oranges. Auburn beat St. John's who was the biggest champion they be Florida at Florida was the SEC regular season champion. They beat Arkansas by 20 who was the SEC tournament champion. So when it came to quality wins, I thought that that was, that was something that could have pushed them over the top. They had the number four strength of schedule. I'm not sure where Stanford's was and a lot of that has to do with intense.

[Dan Patrick]

Can you look at Auburn objectively?

[Bruce Pearl]

Yes, 100% can. Like I think it's okay that Auburn and Oklahoma for example, aren't in the field. I think it's okay. They should have won one more game and so there's nobody complaining about it. But I pride myself on telling what I really think. Was I rooting for my son? Of course I was rooting for my son. People say, well, you got your son the job. No, I didn't get my son the job. My Son played for me. My son was an assistant for me for 11 years. He was the Associated head coach. He was the defensive coordinator. Did I help him? Absolutely, I did. As a dad, of course I did.

[Dan Patrick]

But you look at. Are you paid by Auburn?

[Bruce Pearl]

You know what? I'm in an ambassador's position. And not many Jewish guys would walk away from $30 million, but this one did. And who does that? My wife is like, honey, why couldn't you just stink for a couple of years, let them fire you and pay you $10 million to do what you're doing now? But no, you go ahead and quit. Leave all that on the table. Yeah, no, Dan, I. Objectivity for me, not an issue.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. But I don't know if you have to disclose that, that, hey, I'm still paid as an ambassador for Auburn. If it felt like you were kind of dinging Miami Ohio because Auburn was going to be on the bubble. So that's the appearance, okay?

[Dylan]

That's.

[Dan Patrick]

That's how a lot of people look. So the appearance of that, the optics didn't look good.

[Bruce Pearl]

Well, that's. That's fair. And it certainly has a former Auburn basketball coach. What former coach or former athlete? You know, Charles Barkley roots for Auburn? He does, but Charles Barkley is always going to keep it real. And.

[Dan Patrick]

But he was paid at Auburn, not after Auburn.

[Bruce Pearl]

That's fair enough. Hey, hey, listen. What if I wasn't able to be objective? I wouldn't continue to be in Auburn. It's sort of the best of both worlds. I would give that up in a heartbeat if optics became such an issue that I couldn't be an analyst. You know, Jay Wright works. Worked at Villanova for all those years. He still worked there. And nobody questioned whether or not Jay Wright would have been objective.

[Dan Patrick]

Are you retired as a coach?

[Bruce Pearl]

Yeah, I am. I thought about. I thought about it. I got a few phone calls even this year. But then I was head coach for 30 years, and it was enough. We had a great run. And I do want to do some other things, as you know. You know, I'm a huge advocate for. For this country. I want to coach America. I'm being a Jewish American. I work really hard to bring Jews and Christians and Muslims together. Abraham is the father of all nations. As a coach, I love to bring people together. Religion divides us and separates us. And of course, I love my country, and I also love my ancestral home in Israel. So those are the areas that I'm working in right now. And I think that in many ways I had the Success I had in order to give me this platform. I want Jewish Americans to be this country's greatest patriots because this country saved us from the Holocaust and gave us this opportunity and we are hopefully making the most of it. That comes with a responsibility.

[Dan Patrick]

Talking to Bruce Pearl, CBS Sports college basketball analyst, former Auburn head coach, best pro prospect in the tournament is who?

[Bruce Pearl]

AJ DeBencer. I think both on and off the court, Dan, if you're going to invest in somebody that is going to be your number one pick and you want to build your franchise around that, I think the stuff both on and off the court, work ethic, all those things. This year is a great draft. It'll be the best freshman in the history of the NBA draft this year. It is talented. Top. It's very, very deep. I don't think you can go wrong. I love several other players in there. I love. Boozer Peterson is an incredible talent. Caleb Wilson is amazing. The point guards. Yeah, Acuff is, is a great, great story. Kingston Fleming, it is absolutely, absolutely loaded. And that's why all these NBA teams are tanking, because they want to, they want to improve their position in the draft.

[Dan Patrick]

When you see Patino still doing it, what do you think?

[Bruce Pearl]

Amazing. Amazing.

[Dan Patrick]

How does he have the energy, though, Bruce? It feels like that's what leaves you first.

[Bruce Pearl]

Yeah, I don't know. I mean, everybody ages differently. I think it's. I think my guess is it's, it's, it's his, it's. It's his. His family and basketball are his two major passion interests. A little bit of horse racing. Dan. He was the best I ever went up against. He. He knew what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. He knew how to take it away. He's not getting older, he's getting better. Tom Izzo's the same way. I mean, Tom Izzo is getting better. If it's. It's hard to believe. He has got, he has got good teams that he makes. He makes it a great team. And so I got Patino in St. John's making a little bit of run this year in my bracket. I think they're. I think Zubi Ejafor is terrific. They guard really, really well and they're starting to shoot the basketball better.

[Dan Patrick]

How many teams can win it?

[Bruce Pearl]

I think there's certainly everybody that's on the one line can win it. I think St. John's as a five. How does St. John's how are they a five? I mean, that's just like they're a three. Seed. And my. How, how can UConn be a two and St. John's be a five? I know it's the body that work and St. John's wasn't playing great early in the season. I'd say there are seven or eight teams, I think that'll win it. I think it's gonna be a lot of chalk.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, you know, we talked to different people about this, that it used to be the last 10 games of your schedule meant the most going into the tournament. And I don't think that's the case now. They look at your body of work. I don't care what you did in October or November. I care what you're doing now. And St. John's you. You win the regular season, you win the Biggies tournament, you won what, six in a row? You blow out Yukon. I gotta factor that in.

[Bruce Pearl]

Yeah. Dan, let me give you one something to think about. I agree how you're playing lately is more important, but the schedule, because people are more interested in late February and early March. You notice how the best teams play against the best teams like crazy. That's because there are more eyeballs on college basketball after college football are over. So the last 10, I don't think is a great metrics just because of the toughness of the schedule for the best teams. I mean, if you're on, you know, so that would be just an issue. That's. That. That's why I would not lean in that direction.

[Dan Patrick]

Good to talk to you. Keep stirring it up.

[Bruce Pearl]

Appreciate you, brother. Thank you always.

[Dan Patrick]

That's Bruce Pearl.

It's time for the Disappointment Draft. All right, this is the first annual Disappointment Draft. So Dylan, who's part of the gambling podcast A Fresh edition [e-mail] with Shane Irving and Bad Larry. All right, Dylan, explain the Disappointment Draft.

[Dylan]

So basically we're going to take all of the top.

[Dan Patrick]

By the way, by the way, social media is all over this Sammy Sosa accident in quotation marks because a Sammy Sosa figurine that I've had for decades fell off Seaton's desk. And some say Sammy might have jumped. Others, you know, weeks my cameraman who does a great job, he accidentally knocked the Sammy Sosa figurine off and shattered. But social media is coming to his defense.

[Podcast Contributor]

Yes, Buddy Jeff in Saskatoon. He has stated that Mr. Weeks was simply waiting until the show was over to confess. He cares that much about the vibe of the show. He didn't want to undermine the standard. The defense rests.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. When Sammy Sosa went from a one of one figurine to many pieces of one, the cameraman Weeks was honoring Sosa by later acknowledging that he, quote, made mistakes like Sammy did in 2024. Would have to think that your cameraman Weeks knew nothing about the Sammy crash, given his head was buried deep under the desk at the time. Seaton has to own this one. That's from Dennis Demand. It was a loud crash. The Sammy Sosa figurine. Mr. Weeks was waiting until after the show to confess because he cares more about the vibe of the show. The defense rest. Thank you. Social media is all over this. Who would have thought Sammy Sosa figurine. It's all about content. Alrighty. Yes.

Now see, this is already starting to like a perception is reality kind of thing. Could you imagine if Fritzi saw the figurine break instead of Seaton? The fallout would be brutal and the show would be hilarious. Lots of people saw it break. I was just the one person that got up to try to help.

[Dan Patrick]

So you guys saw this.

[Podcast Contributor]

There's many other people milling about in that video. I'm just the one that was like, oh, let me go help Weeks out.

[Dan Patrick]

Did you guys. Be honest. Did you guys think that I would not notice the Sammy Sosa figurine had shattered on the floor?

[Paul]

Paul, I know you would notice everything. I saw a football turn this morning and I went to turn it back and then I thought better of it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paul]

And I didn't touch it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Podcast Contributor]

You know what? I'll admit something.

[Dan Patrick]

You want me to do.

[Podcast Contributor]

You want me to do this?

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know what you're going to admit.

[Podcast Contributor]

Okay, hold on one second. Oh, this, this. This is the 2019 MVP AUA 3 on 3 league trophy that I believe was given to Andrew Perloff.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Podcast Contributor]

A few weeks ago, I knocked this off the thing and it shattered. And I had Jay in the back glue it back together and he did such a good job that I was like, oh, it's no big deal. I'll just put it back there. But I. I saved you the despair. And look, you can't tell. Look, it's back together. No big deal.

[Dan Patrick]

And plus, it was for McLovin.

[Paul]

Yeah.

[Podcast Contributor]

And his Andrew and I Don't care. Yeah, who cares about it?

[Dan Patrick]

Is there anything else that you guys would like to mention? Now's the time. Now. Clean sweep. All right. I move forward with everything, but if I find out after the fact, then we'll have issues. Yes.

[Dylan]

Dylan, I. I mean, I do have something to admit. I was sitting right here, and I had no idea that that thing broke or that anything was going on over there, which might be more of a different indictment.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Dylan]

But I had no clue, John.

[Todd]

I may have taken a couple packs of dude wipes that were meant for the studio, and I may have taken it for home use.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, that's okay.

[Todd]

Which is kind of like, you know, criminal activity.

[Dan Patrick]

You got. This is a, you know, one time. One time clean, clean sleep.

[Paul]

Paul, I wolfed down a piece of soda bread before we went to the food last week. A little quarter of soda bread. It smelled so good.

[Podcast Contributor]

That is a massive violation.

[Paul]

And I'm pretty sure it was on camera.

[Todd]

Yeah. Why does the host get to eat first anyway?

[Dan Patrick]

Everything is on camera, right? Everything is on camera. Dylan, you got anything else?

[Dylan]

Well, a few months ago, I broke one of your golf training sticks. But I taped it.

[Dan Patrick]

I noticed that you taped it.

[Dylan]

You did?

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Dylan]

I did exactly what they said was gonna happen.

[Dan Patrick]

The tape part of it gave it away. That you broke something.

[Dylan]

Yeah, I whacked it. By accident.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Paul]

Paul, a bunch of years ago, when we had our first few fill in hosts for you, someone moved some stuff on your desk, and it was a red alert around here and Seaton. I were scrambling to get your desk back together. We actually took aerial photos of your desk just in case an incident like that happens again.

[Dan Patrick]

Terry in Seattle. Hi, Terry. What's on your mind, listener? With regard to the Sammy incident, I think that there's some culpability with whoever placed Sammy on the desk in the first place. It wasn't securely attached to the desk. And also, you could bring in Al Pacino and have him reenact his scene from Scent of a Woman and have him do a defense for the Sammy incident. All right, let me see if Al Pacino can join us.

[Bruce Pearl]

Let me tell you something. Every inch is a foot. Every foot's a yard. We're gonna fight for every one of

[Todd]

those inches because that's the difference between winning and losing.

[Bruce Pearl]

Now, I can't do it for you.

[Todd]

Now get out there and let's get that inch.

[Bruce Pearl]

Thank you, Terry.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Terry.

[Podcast Contributor]

Is that the right movie?

[Bruce Pearl]

No, it's definitely not.

[Paul]

That was four different movies.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. It's Time for the disappointment.

[Bruce Pearl]

Think that was any given Sunday?

[Dan Patrick]

No, of course. That's the one you do any given Sunday. Look, but don't touch. That's the one. That's the one. That's the devil scent of a woman.

[Todd]

No, the.

[Bruce Pearl]

The. Look but don't touch.

[Todd]

Touch but don't touch. The devil inside.

[Dan Patrick]

Look, but don't touch.

[Bruce Pearl]

Touch but don't taste. Taste but don't swallow.

[Todd]

And he's up there giggling up there at you.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, I can't quit this show.

[Podcast Contributor]

Is that an announcement?

[Dan Patrick]

No. For the next two years, I can't quit this show. All right, Dylan, the disappointment draft. Let's explain the disappointment draft.

[Dylan]

All right, so basically, Dan, how it works is we're going to be taking picking teams that we do not think will be advancing. So one through four seeds. It's going to be more akin to golf scoring. So if you take a one seed, you'll start with minus four points, two seed, minus three points.

[Dan Patrick]

So the more aggressive you are, the more points. And therefore total points wins.

[Dylan]

Correct. And you want to be lower so more in the negative or closer to zero is better. And for each, like if that team advances, you get a point added on.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, so we should start with the biggest loser. Todd, you go first.

[Martha Stewart]

Wow.

[Paul]

Wait, Paul, what do you mean loser? Like sports loser? Because I would throw my name in the ring.

[Dan Patrick]

No, just a loser.

[Paul]

Oh, okay. Now I'm not.

[Dylan]

Yeah, if you talk to Al Pacino like that.

[Dan Patrick]

Hoo Ha. All right, so Todd, who's your pick now? This is the disappointment draft. They're going to disappoint.

[Todd]

Yes. Okay, I'm gonna go a little less brave with my first pick and say the Zags are gonna bow out quickly. I know by going with a three or four seed, you get less credit.

[Dan Patrick]

Just pick the team.

[Todd]

The Zags will disappoint.

[Dylan]

Dylan, since I'm kind of picking for Marvin here and I know he would be upset by this, I'm gonna take Yukon.

[Bruce Pearl]

Wow.

[Dan Patrick]

Marvin not here today. Suspended. I mean, out for a day. Seaton Earl.

[Bruce Pearl]

Tied.

[Dan Patrick]

Roll Tide. Oh, that's an easy one there. Four Seat. Paul.

[Paul]

The Florida Gators a oner based off almost nothing.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, I'm gonna. I'm gonna knock out a number two. I'm gonna knock out a number two seed. Purdue. Purdued. Wipes. Wow. See what I did with that?

[Bruce Pearl]

Pursued wipes.

[Dan Patrick]

Pursued wipes.

[Todd]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. Yeah.

[Paul]

Produce veteran laden Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, I know. And then I'm gonna come back around and go Illinois as a three seed.

[Bruce Pearl]

Nice.

[Paul]

Paul, Hate to do it. Michigan State is a three seed.

[Bruce Pearl]

Oh,

[Dan Patrick]

John Smoltz would be disappointed. Satan. Duke Blue Devils.

[Podcast Contributor]

That's right.

[Bruce Pearl]

Whoa.

[Dan Patrick]

That's right, Dylan.

[Dylan]

I'm sorry, Dan, but I got to go Arizona.

[Dan Patrick]

The namesake originally Wildcats. My pick to win it all. Todd, you got two picks.

[Todd]

I'm gonna go with the Iowa State Cyclones. And I'm gonna go with the Virginia Cavaliers.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, Dylan.

[Dylan]

Since they've never won a tournament game, Dan, I'm gonna go Nebraska.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, we love Nebraska.

[Dylan]

No, no knock.

[Dan Patrick]

We're huge in Lincoln.

[Podcast Contributor]

Seaton, Kansas jail.

[Dan Patrick]

You probably thought I was gonna take Kansas, didn't you?

[Podcast Contributor]

I wanted to swoop in there.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, you did. Paul,

[Paul]

is Virginia still on the board?

[Dan Patrick]

No.

[Podcast Contributor]

Yucks.

[Paul]

I'll go Houston.

[Podcast Contributor]

All right,

[Dan Patrick]

so it's either Michigan or Arkansas. See, Arkansas shouldn't be a four. I'll go Michigan just for the potential points there. So Arkansas is the only team that didn't get selected in the disappointment draft.

[Paul]

Yes, Paul, we're going to watch the games way differently.

[Dan Patrick]

I know, I know, I know.

[Bruce Pearl]

Oh, man.

[Dylan]

Does that mean Arkansas bows out round one?

[Dan Patrick]

I hope not. Nobody picked him, though.

from a really Good Cry I absolutely love getting outside, whether it's a quick walk or a mindful few steps between meetings or even a longer run to just clear my head. But the one thing that can really ruin that for me is shoes that just don't feel right. That's why I started wearing Altra running with the Ultra Fit. Every step feels comfortable, balanced and strong. Like my feet can finally move freely. What really stood out to me was the roomy toe box. My toes actually now have room to spin, spread out, which makes movement feel more natural and comfortable. And when your feet aren't cramped, you feel more balanced. Like every step has a strong, stable foundation. I've noticed that with extra space, my foot muscles get to work building strength so I can actually move with more confidence.

[Dan Patrick]

Just got word Chuck Norris has passed away. He was known for Texas.

[Paul]

Texas Walker, Texas Ranger.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, something like that. Was he known for like, did he do kung fu movies?

[Paul]

He was a big martial artist, originally a martial artist before he became an actor and then he got into those and 70s and 80s. He was in a couple cop movies like Code of Silence and then a lot of TV stuff.

[Dan Patrick]

And then he also did that workout video with Christie Brinkley.

[Paul]

Really?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. You never saw that infomercial for a long time.

[Podcast Contributor]

That's what he was most famous for was those.

[Paul]

I probably just saw Christy. I didn't notice.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I noticed him, but I did notice her as well. But yeah, it was an infomercial.

[Todd]

Some flex master or something. Some kind of workout item.

[Dan Patrick]

They'd be on an incline bench or something and he'd be pumping some iron. Christie Brinkley would just be there looking Christie Brinkley Poll question Seaton for the final hour, we can recap the first two hours of the program.

[Podcast Contributor]

I remember Missing in Action being a big movie.

[Paul]

Good movie.

[Podcast Contributor]

That was a big movie.

[Dan Patrick]

Who, who else was in Missing in Action?

[Podcast Contributor]

Not sure.

[Paul]

Randall Tex Cobb was in that one.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, he was the former fighter. Yeah. Yeah. So Chuck. No. How old was Chuck Norris?

[Paul]

Checking.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm gonna say 82. Yes, Marvin, 86. Oh, okay.

[Bruce Pearl]

Celebration of life.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah. Once you get there, like what is celebration of life? Age. Would you say 85 is the cut off. If you get to 85, anything that happens after that, then we have a celebration of life. Anything before that, do we go, oh,

[Paul]

tragically died or 80 to 84 is. That's a shame.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, a shame.

[Paul]

Yeah, cuz it's not early, but it's not like, hey man, you expected it to happen.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Paul]

If someone kicks at 82, you don't go, yeah, no problem.

[Dan Patrick]

But Steven Seagal is still alive.

[Paul]

Ah, come on.

[Dan Patrick]

Right? Yes, Marvin, we're crossing our fingers.

[Todd]

I hope he is

[Dan Patrick]

better hairpiece way. Now, Chuck Norris or Steven Seagal?

[Podcast Contributor]

One's more of a helmet, to be fair. One's more of a hair helmet.

[Paul]

Steven Seagal, 73, But Steven Seagal, it, it.

[Dan Patrick]

I mean that one's. That one's a rough hairpiece that he's got. It almost looks like it. It should have a chin strap, right? Oh, it's easy for you to say. You got a full head of hair. I know, I know. Yes, Marvin, Steven Seagal, he was the king of the three title movies, right?

[Bruce Pearl]

Yeah, like Don't Ever Die.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I think Paulie focused on that, that every one of his movies has.

[Podcast Contributor]

Out for Justice. Yeah, Three, that might be Jean Claude Van Damme too.

[Paul]

Are you referring to Steven Seagal, famous for above the law, Hard to kill, Marked for death, out for justice, on Deadly Ground, Under Siege two. And then he went. He made a career choice to go. Executive decision. Two words, really gutsy. Showing his range. Then he went back to Fire Down Below, then Exit Wounds, so on and so forth.

[Dan Patrick]

How much is he worth though?

[Podcast Contributor]

Not as much as he was.

[Paul]

It's a good point.

[Podcast Contributor]

A lot of samurai swords there.

[Dan Patrick]

What, he bought samurai swords?

[Podcast Contributor]

I get the sense he always felt

[Paul]

a little faux to me compared to Chuck Norris.

[Podcast Contributor]

A little.

[Paul]

I wasn't sure his background was real.

[Dan Patrick]

Steven Seagal, but wasn't he an agent or wanted to be an agent, a foreign agent for us or like he would be a Russian, like something.

[Podcast Contributor]

We shouldn't be sullying the name of Chuck Norris.

[Dan Patrick]

No, this was Steven Seagal.

[Podcast Contributor]

Correct.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Podcast Contributor]

We shouldn't be.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, bringing in Steven Seagal. This should be Chuck Norris.

[Podcast Contributor]

This is about Chuck.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Yeah. All right.

[Dylan]

Yeah.

[Podcast Contributor]

This is about Chuck. By the way, new poll question. Can anyone in heaven beat up Chuck Norris?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, Steven Seagal's still alive.

[Podcast Contributor]

Yeah. Right. Right now, about 67% say no.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Yes, Marvin. Chuck versus Bruce Lee. Oh, I'm going Bruce Lee.

[Podcast Contributor]

Bruce Lee is probably the 33% of the yeses so far as Bruce Lee.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Podcast Contributor]

But okay, so what? Your top two so far. That's what's wrong with that.

[Dan Patrick]

But what if I put Ali in there?

[Podcast Contributor]

I'm going Chuck.

[Dan Patrick]

Different Chuck over Muhammad Ali.

[Podcast Contributor]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Good. For sure here. For sure. Yes.

[Todd]

Todd, wouldn't a mixed martial arts person beat up any kind of boxer, like, 100 out of 100 times?

[Podcast Contributor]

Correct.

[Dan Patrick]

Unless it's Conor McGregor against Floyd Mayweather.

[Podcast Contributor]

Yeah, but they forced him to. They took the MMA guy and said, but.

[Dan Patrick]

But you can only box.

[Podcast Contributor]

That is the lamest thing ever. That's, you know, ufc, if. Correct me if I'm wrong. But when it originally started, the whole point was getting all of these, like, mixed disciplines together to see which one could beat up the other, Right? So like. Like, the karate guy would go against the guy, and then it'd be like a Taekwondo guy. And you were kind of seeing which one of those was the superior form of fighting. Now it's just kind of like, well, I specialize in this, but we all sort of.

[Dan Patrick]

I hope you don't get a stay in.

[Podcast Contributor]

I'm definitely in my lane.

[Dan Patrick]

We are. It's Friday. It's the last hour.

[Todd]

Yes, Todd, I highly recommend Bloodsport with Jean Claude if you like that kind of stuff, those kind of fights.

[Dan Patrick]

But that's not Chuck Norris.

[Todd]

It's not Chuck Norris, John.

[Podcast Contributor]

Claude Van Damme was the guy who brought the. Or at least when I think of it, the slow motion reaction face, you're like.

[Show Host/Producer]

He was.

[Podcast Contributor]

That was like, the one thing that really stood out about his.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yes, Paul.

[Paul]

Chuck Norris. A little background. He was in the United States Air Force then. He was a competitive martial artist. And he won, like, the All American Karate Championship. Not the All Valley Championship.

[Dan Patrick]

Mmm.

[Paul]

It's Daniel LaRusso at Madison Square Garden. He started schools, karate schools. Steve McQueen was a client. Bob Barker was a client.

[Dan Patrick]

Bob Barker's not having a good week, by the way. No. Well, there's a. There's a book out about the behind the scenes of prices. Right.

[Paul]

It doesn't go well, Donny Osmond was a client. Chuck Norris's acting breakthrough was in a Bruce Lee movie called Way of the Dragon. He fought Bruce Lee in that movie.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, that's. Is that Bruce Lee's most famous movie?

[Paul]

One of them. Way of the Dragon, 1972. It did very well at the box office. And after that, Chuck Norris started getting more roles and then his own roles.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, so Chuck Norris, age 86.

[Podcast Contributor]

I think it's. According to this, it's the Way the Dragon. Bruce Lee versus Chuck Norris. Considered one of the greatest fight scenes ever made.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. All right.

[Podcast Contributor]

That's pretty rad.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I remember those Bruce Lee movies. I remember he'd get interviewed on late night shows. They haven't come out. I don't think he was a really big conversationalist, but it was still Bruce Lee when he would come out. All right, a little detour here.

[Paul]

Did we ever have Chuck Norris on the show?

[Dan Patrick]

We did. I don't think we did. I don't know why we would.

[Paul]

Well, I don't think so.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

I remember Bruce Lee being very philosophical in his interviews. He was very quiet and just had a very interesting approach to life and how to be like one with nature and being in this state of calm. It's very scary, actually, to listen to.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Todd.

[Todd]

Very intimidating.

This is Radhi Jablukia from a really good Cry. I absolutely love being outdoors, even if it's just stepping outside for a bit of fresh air between meals or taking a mindful walk to clear my head. But the one thing that can really ruin that is when my feet feel cramped in my shoes. So I switched to ultra running and honestly it makes such a difference. What I love most is their signature ultra fit, comfort, balance, strength. They have this roomy toe box that lets my toes actually spread and move naturally. So I really appreciate that and I feel more grounded and balanced with every single step.
