• Men’s Final Four Matchups (02:35)
  • Illinois vs. UConn; Michigan vs. Arizona.
  • Point spreads: Illinois and Michigan both favored by 1.5 points.

• Women’s Final Four
  • South Carolina vs. Connecticut and Texas vs. UCLA.
  • Rematch energy: “These were the final four teams from a year ago. The matchups were switched and this year, South Carolina, UConn the early game.” [02:41]

Women's final four tonight, South Carolina, Connecticut, Texas, ucla. These were the final four teams from a year ago. The matchups were switched and this year, South Carolina, UConn the early game. Then Texas and UCLA. Men's Final Four will be Saturday. Illinois, Yukon, Michigan and Arizona. Those point spreads have not changed in the last 24 hours. Still one and a half, one and a half for Illinois, favored by one and a half and Michigan favored by one and a half over Arizona. Seaton, you got a poll question to start us out with this first hour of the program.

[Seaton]

We have many poll questions here. We've got a couple here from Paul. How much would you pay or what price would you pay to see your team in a title game? Between 200 and $500. Five hundred and a thousand dollars or a thousand plus?

[Dan Patrick]

I, it depends on. I think you know, each situation.

[Seaton]

I'm gonna, I'm gonna need a, an option below 200. I gotta admit, I, I'm not buying any of those tickets.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, two to five. But you still got to get to Indianapolis. You got to get a hotel and are you staying the weekend, you're probably

[Seaton]

going with somebody unless you're going solo. So you double that. Yeah, that seems they're all kind of tough.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. Depends on how much you love your team. What else do you have there?

[Seaton]

Seaton, we've got on there. Another one for Paul. You're rooting for Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois or Michigan.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know if there's a root worthy team. Maybe that. That's how. Is there a root worthy team for America? Is there a great story, Most rootable

[Seaton]

team in the final four.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, there you go. I think that one's good. You know who's rooting for Michigan this weekend? Really? A whole lot of fans in the state of North Carolina are rooting for Michigan because if Michigan beats Arizona, then Tommy Lloyd might be available. This is what my source said to me last night because I said, you know, I'm trying to figure this out. Who are they waiting for? I don't think Dusty May is leaving Michigan. From what I'm told, he's not leaving. But Tommy Lloyd, you know, Tommy Lloyd is saying, look, I got a game to focus on Saturday. Everybody wants him to say, hey, I'm not leaving. You know, this is probably leverage and you know, I have a few more details on this, but kind of been sworn to secrecy on that with the situation with Arizona and Tommy Lloyd. But I was told that North Carolina, they'll be rooting hard for Michigan because then they can start negotiating with him if he's going to be the next head coach at North Carolina. I haven't heard anything from Billy Donovan about Billy Donovan leaving the Bulls, but it's there. It's kind of lingering. It's hanging there. But, you know, we'll get closure certainly by Tuesday morning. Yes.

[Todd]

Todd, if you're Tommy Lloyd and whether you have genuine interest in the North Carolina job or any other job or not, why would you tip your hand? Why would anyone expect anyone in any line of work that works so hard to be in a position, a rare position, to kind of play both sides a little bit, not have to give a definitive answer? Why would you? You might as well keep it close to your vest. It's no one's business.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, no, it is people's business. They want to know what your loyalty is.

[Todd]

We all want to know a lot of things. It doesn't mean you have to give them an answer.

[Dan Patrick]

No, but you can still ask the question.

[Todd]

I think he was upset with the question, but we shouldn't expect him to say, I'm staying put. I love it here. And this is even when they say that they leave half the time.

[Dan Patrick]

That is true. That is true. There have been incidents with high level coaches who have said, I'm staying here. I'm going to be the Miami Hurricanes coach on Monday. And then Monday he becomes the Cleveland Browns head coach. Yeah. Yes, Marv.

[Marvin]

That's easily the worst move in the history of coaching. Oh, you, Butch Davis.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. I know.

[Marvin]

You left that team.

[Dan Patrick]

I know.

[Marvin]

To coach that team.

[Dan Patrick]

And I had a friend whose son was going to go to Miami and, you know, so he's talking with Butch on Sunday. He said, I'm going to be here on Monday. And on Monday became the Cleveland Browns head coach.

[Paulie]

Yes, Paul, when Tommy Lloyd of Arizona was asked, he said, quote, I've got my full focus on this team. Nothing is distracting me. I'm 100% locked in on Arizona basketball. That's a great non.

[Dan Patrick]

Answer. Answer. Yeah. Do I think he'll take the North Carolina job? It feels that way, but I want him to be fair to the Arizona fans and this basketball team coming up this weekend, that is your focus. And I don't think he's going to say, hey, I'm going to. I can multitask, which he obviously can. You know, it doesn't take long for North Carolina to say, what's the number? And he finds out what the number is for his salary and the nil and collectives and things like that. And that can happen quickly or you have somebody, an intermediary who will be talking to them. But he's got leverage here. Maybe he stays, but there's also that big chance that he does go to North Carolina. Is that a lateral move, though? Because Arizona, year in and year out gets really good players. They just don't get to where they should be getting with all of this talent. North Carolina, you know, they did get to a national title game, but it's not the North Carolina we grew up with.

[Seaton]

Yeah, see, but one of them is an institution in college basketball. The other one is a team known for constantly disappointing.

[Dan Patrick]

True, true. But if you live in your scrapbook and you say, man, I can be North Carolina's head coach, it'd be like, I can be Indiana's head basketball coach.

[Seaton]

Yeah, that sounds awesome.

[Dan Patrick]

And nobody cares.

[Seaton]

That sounds awesome.

[Dan Patrick]

No, but. But it's not what it once was. It's like, hey, Indiana. Yeah. That's a football school, right? Yeah.

[Paulie]

Paulie, I think if I were the head coach at Arizona, I would think my path to the Final Four is year to year is easier here than it is at North Carolina. There's a lot to get through at North Carolina with the teams they play. It's almost like remember Dabo had offers at Clemson and he stayed. It's easier for him to get to the College Football playoff at Clemson than it is to go to the sec.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, well, we said that about when Texas and Oklahoma were going to the sec. And I'm like, I would stay where you are. It's easier to get to the playoffs instead of fighting everybody in the sec. Yes, Todd, but I would think your

[Todd]

ego and or just status, being able to attach your name to after all these years as a 20 year assistant in Gonzaga under Mark Few, to be able to say you're with North Carolina. Arizona doesn't, at least to me, doesn't come up at the top of the list when you start listing the best. I know it's not your grandpa's North Carolina, but still it's a. I think it's a lot juicier than Arizona, if that matters. Ego wise to a coach.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, maybe. I don't, I don't know, Tommy Lloyd, But Arizona feels like year in and year out there, number one seed. Yes, Marvin, but I want, I don't

[Marvin]

want to treat North Carolina like they're Indiana. North Carolina's won the national title in the past 10 years. They've just had a, a bad three to four years. Okay, so them, Kansas and Kentucky to me are the bluest of the blue bloods where any other job. Like it's not better than those three jobs.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but remember Kentucky? I mean, is Kentucky a glamour job now? We look at Kentucky like Indiana.

[Marvin]

No.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Marvin]

They've won the national title in the 2000s.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, but I'm talking about now, like do people look at Kentucky or Kansas? You know, Kansas is above Kentucky, I would say, but I don't know if UCLA used to be the bluest of blue bloods. That doesn't come up. And they've won before. But that doesn't come up as man, that's a destination you.

[Marvin]

Yeah, but you're talking about UCLA and Indiana. Neither of those schools have won national championships in 30 plus years. The schools like Kentucky, they won a national title in what, 2012. And they've always been relevant. Even I know Calipari left and he gave him some star power. But there's still a major program that gets five stars and gets to the tournament.

[Dan Patrick]

Would you, if, if Kentucky was open in North Carolina. Open. Which one are you taking?

[Marvin]

Kentucky.

[Caller or Listener]

All right.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paulie]

Paulie it feels like Kentucky's on a light hiatus from greatness. Just a dip, not a. They're not down as a program. Down is where you're like a 10

[Dan Patrick]

year wallowing around like Indiana.

[Paulie]

Yes. Last time they were threatening was Tom Crean.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Seaton]

If Kentucky, North Carolina, Indiana and Arizona come calling,

[Dan Patrick]

there's different pressures there. Like Kentucky and, and North Carolina, that pressure's got to be different than Arizona, Indiana. I think they're just kind of fighting back, you know, like we used to be something, but it feels like you're kind of treading water and then you win the national title in football. I mean, North Carolina, that's, it's, it's magical down there. But I, I think there's more to behind the scenes with these jobs that there didn't used to be. And I think administrations play a little bit larger role. And I think you're finding these coaches who are saying, if I can just coach, you know, I'm fine. It's all the other things that are on the periphery that make it, you know, a lot tougher job. Yeah.

[Paulie]

Paul, I will say this about Arizona. I just looked it up. They pay, they invest in their roster and they pay their head coach. Tommy Lloyd, he's making $5.3 million this year. That's ninth in all of college basketball. And he's making more than a million more than Hubert Davis was this past year at North Carolina.

[Dan Patrick]

You know, that's pretty good. Well, he's going to make a lot more somewhere. Somewhere going to be making a lot more whether it's at Arizona or North Carolina. Yes.

[Todd]

Todd, would a coach really consider staying put? Because they think where they are in is an easier path to the final Four. All things considered, like, is that something they would really consider especially in this world of nil and transfer portal where one year you're terrible, the next year you're winning the national championship.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, but that's part of it in your goal to win a national championship. So why wouldn't you be at the place that gives you the best chance to win a national championship?

[Todd]

Or do you want to go to the school that's got the most cachet and that's the biggest deal place to go. I've worked so hard and I have an opportunity to be the North Carolina coach. Nothing against Arizona. To me that's a step up.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't care about cachet. I care about wheat winning. Like I want to win a national title. I don't think we look down at Jay Wright because he won It Villanova a couple times. I mean, but do you stay at

[Todd]

a school because it's an easier conference and you think I got a better chance of winning it all in this weaker conference than the ACC or something like that?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, Dan Hurley's got an easier track to get to the, you know, number one seed or number two seed because of the conference that he plays in. I mean, no, he could go to North Carolina. One call. He could go to North Carolina today. He not leaving to go to North Carolina. He was leaving to go to the Lakers. But it, it's just, it's interesting now with, you know, the coaching landscape, and it feels like, hey, I've been here. Tommy LLOYD Is what, 51 years of age? So now you go, okay, this is my big chance. Now. Do I go? I could coach North Carolina or I could stay here. Yes, Mark.

[Marvin]

And if you're Tommy Lloyd, you got to the Final Four, which they haven't been to since 2001. So you're kind of on scholarship for the next couple of years because you've done something no one else has done forever.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's interesting, but I, I would be surprised if Dusty May leaves Michigan. And my source said that the athletic director has already told people, I'm going to lock him up. He's going to be our coach for a long, long, long time and rightfully so. Great coach. Alrighty. Gets phone calls. Coming up. It's a meet Friday. Luka Doncic gets injured. Last night, they get blown out in okc and I don't know. I haven't seen any update on the severity of the injury. It is his hamstring that he got injured on is seven minutes to go in the third quarter and I think they were down 25. So, of course social media said, why is he in there if it's seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter and you're down 25, I take him out, but he was in pain last night. And here we are. They'll be limping literally into the postseason. We'll take a break. We'll settle on our poll question. Mad Dog Russo a little bit later on, and Lewis Riddick. He was there at the Fernando Mendoza Pro Day. Take a break. Back after this.

[Dan Patrick]

Phone calls coming up as well. Seven years ago today, final show in the old man cave, when we cut down the nets, or at least we tried to cut down the nets, and Fritzi complained that the scissors were right handed scissors, not left handed scissors.

[Todd]

There was definitely some incompetence there, but a lefty scissor might have given me

[Dan Patrick]

a shot seven years ago. So once the show ended, the big German had a truck ready to go because I said, you got three months to have the build out at this man cave. And three months to the day might have been the day before. The night before he had everything ready to go in. Incredible. I didn't realize what I was asking him to do, but it was three months from that man cave to this man cave, and there were a lot of people involved in that. That's when Marvin got involved in the show. Yes, Marv.

[Marvin]

I first came here and the big German hired me and he's like, oh, we're gonna have this place ready by April 20th of this year. This was all just rubble and dust.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but look at it now. Pretty Incredible. Yes. Todd.

[Todd]

I took the over on that. I think I actually said to Eric, I go, damn, what wants you to do that? That's not happening. Is this July? August? You sure he said April? How is that possibly happening?

[Dan Patrick]

You got an Andy Reid vibe today

[Todd]

about the red and.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, you got.

[Todd]

Oh, yeah, I'm a very. Yeah, very red and white Chief colors, which is a terrible thing to tell a Bronco fan, but I can see what you're saying.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, you got your red hat and then you got a hoodie that. Is that the meat hoodie?

[Todd]

Yeah. Someone sent this a few years ago. I'm not sure where it came from, but I'm like, it's rec Tech Meat Friday. I'm like, I got to find my meat sweatshirt.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Todd]

That's what I'm doing.

[Dan Patrick]

You're kind of like Lady Gaga. Didn't she have an outfit where she just had meat? I think she did her dress or something.

[Todd]

We're both bizarre like that.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

All right.

[Dan Patrick]

877-3-DP Show. Email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle the DP Show. Here's some more information, my college basketball source. All roads point to Tommy Lloyd as the focus for North Carolina. There will be some apprehension. He's a west coast guy, but there is conviction that he will succeed wherever he goes. He's 10 years younger than Billy Donovan, and in the current environment, the coach brings most of the team and prospects with him as an extension. Tommy Lloyd's longtime mentor, Mark Few, is very tight with Roy Williams. While it's unclear if Roy would have helped, given what happened with Hubert Davis's firing, then this is a possibility because Tommy Lloyd coached under Mark Few. Mark Few, friends with Roy Williams. Roy, of course, a former North Carolina head coach. So that's where we are right now, on the cusp, on the brink of the Final Four. Yes. Eaton.

[Seaton]

You know, it is interesting, too, because when you talk about the value of the North Carolina job, I don't know that you can really say that the ACC is a better conference than, say, the Big 12 anymore. Certainly recent memory, the Big 12 has been much better than the ACC in basketball. If you start running down. I mean, just. Just look at the top teams right now. Arizona, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Texas Tech, tcu, byu there. I mean, they've all been really good. I don't know that you get that far down the list of the ACC these days.

[Dan Patrick]

I think those are all good, valid points there. I agree. All right, let me see Tom in Iowa. Hi, Tom. What's on your mind today?

[Caller (Tom or Buddha)]

Hey, guys. How you guys doing? Before I talk, I just want to say thank you to you for signing my book. Appreciate it. But I can just see him leaving because, one, I remember a couple years ago, I don't know if it's still true, the Arizona athletic department was in the negatives.

[Caller or Listener]

It was.

[Caller (Tom or Buddha)]

There were questioning of athletics. And two, it's just more convenient being the acc. All your teams on one side of the state. You don't have to worry about traveling across country.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, well, thank you. Tom Gibbs in Virginia Beach. Hi, Gibbs. What's on your mind today?

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, Danny. This weekend is the weekend I sent you the invitation. I know you balked at it, but you said you might send Tyler. But I am getting married this weekend. I don't know if Tyler or Dylan are on their way, but I just need to take this time to thank you for basically my entire career. I was a caller way back, 17 years ago. It got picked up by a local radio station. I got a producer gig at a local radio station, curtailed that into working for an NFL agent here in town. I put that on my resume going to law school. That I was a Dan Patrick contributor. And the admissions officer was so impressed that I was a Dan Patrick contributor that she. She admitted me on the spot. And I curtailed that into an MBA at Carolina Double Tar Heel. Love my Tar Heels. And as of two years ago, became an NFL agent. And I owe all of that to the Dan Patrick.

[Dan Patrick]

How about a round of applause for Gibbs? Virginia Beach. Maybe if I'd have known all of that, we would have gone to the wedding. But, Gibbs, thank you for the wedding invitation, and good luck this weekend.

[Caller or Listener]

Thank you, Danny. I really appreciate that. Is there any words of wisdom that you can give me? I am marrying a. I'm. I'm a Tar Heel. I am marrying a Kentucky Wildcat. So this time of year is a little icy for us, but any words of wisdom that you can impart.

[Dan Patrick]

I say this. I say this to my own children. You fall in love, you stay married because you like each other, enjoy each other, the companionship, road trip. Make sure you always think of her every single day. And trust me, she will think of you every single day. Put her first. Can't go wrong. Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

I like how Gibbs took an opportunity to recite his resume disguised as a compliment to how he helped you along. It's nice.

[Dan Patrick]

It was passive aggressive. Fantastic. I'm fine with that.

[Todd]

That was fantastic.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, look who's calling from Burgundy, France. It's Buddha. Hi, Buddha. Nobody?

[Caller (Tom or Buddha)]

Bonjour, dp. Every day, the Super Bowl. Let's go, Gibbs. Let's go, baby. Well, dp, I'm still in France and I can confirm to all DP Nation that the world is round and that my dude wife supply is strong. Thank you, Jade. And when you guys brought up the world being flat up this week, it cracked me up and reminded me. You guys remember when Kyrie Irving went on that like, week and a half, kind of like tour of trying to convince the world in front of reporters that the world was flat?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah.

[Caller (Tom or Buddha)]

Not good. And. But dp, I'm calling in today on

[Caller or Listener]

Good Meat Friday from the most hallowed

[Caller (Tom or Buddha)]

and revered sites where the Chardonnay and your great DP Pinot Noir, some of the most sought after and expensive wines come from here.

[Caller or Listener]

It is amazing.

[Caller (Tom or Buddha)]

I wish. I wish I could just FaceTime you guys. It is beautiful. And I just want to let you know, Dan, trade in your ascots or trade in your ties for the ascots, because we're going to come in style

[Caller or Listener]

and do a harvest.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, well, thank you, Buddha. Why don't you send a video of you out there in the fields there with all the grapes, Buddha?

[Caller or Listener]

I will. All right.

[Caller (Tom or Buddha)]

100% done.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Send it to Tyler. Joe in LA. Hi, Joe. What's on your mind today?

[Caller or Listener]

Good morning, DP.

[Dan Patrick]

Morning, Joe.

[Caller or Listener]

58150. The UCLA girls tonight versus Texas. But I wanted to let you know I saw a Bleacher Report article on the 20 biggest jokes of the 21st century. The Duke choke last weekend ranked number 15. But I wanted to ask the group, what was the number one,

[Dan Patrick]

the biggest choke job of all time, according to bleacher report?

[Caller or Listener]

21st century.

[Dan Patrick]

21st century. Yes. Marvin, 28.

[Marvin]

3. The Falcons.

[Seaton]

All you have to say is 28.

[Dan Patrick]

3.

[Seaton]

Everybody knows what you're talking about.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. You don't even have to say the teams. Joe, 28:3. Final answer.

[Caller or Listener]

That's correct.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. Well, thank you, Joe. Yeah.

[Seaton]

See, I feel like the Yankees against the Red Sox has to be high.

[Dan Patrick]

I would say. Joe.

[Seaton]

Joe, that's not 1A. It should be 1B.

[Dan Patrick]

Where are the Yankees? Up 31 in the ALCS or 3 0. Joe. Yeah, I. Where was the Yankees collapse against the Red Sox?

[Caller or Listener]

I will see. I think that was like number 10.

[Dan Patrick]

Wow.

[Caller (Tom or Buddha)]

10.

[Dan Patrick]

Damn.

[Paulie]

Yeah, Paul, this is 1999, so I hope it still counts. Jean Vandevelde at the British Open. He needed a double bogey on 18. A double bogey and he wins the British Open.

[Dan Patrick]

Where is Jean Vanderbilt on that list? Joe?

[Caller or Listener]

John Vanderbilt didn't make that list, okay?

[Seaton]

This list is null and void.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Joe.

[Seaton]

Cancel it.

[Paulie]

Throw it away.

[Dan Patrick]

You think it's false? False advertising. Did they choke on coming up with the biggest chokes of the 21st century? Trey in Pennsylvania. Hi, Trey. What's on your mind?

[Caller or Listener]

Hello, Daniel.

[Dan Patrick]

Hi, Trey.

[Caller or Listener]

5 11, 160. So I was listening to the gambling podcast last night, and there is indeed casino in Pittsburgh. It is called Rivers. It is across from Heinz Field. You get it by the Rivers. So you and your DJ can go and have a nice time. Well, not you, but your dj.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, that'll be good news for Shay and Irving. Also Dylan and. And Ray. What else is on your mind, Trey?

[Caller or Listener]

There. So the AVs. I have a complaint about the abs. I'm. We're never going to see another batter or manager go face to face with an ump because of bad calls, and that's kind of bumming me out. I just wanted to hear your thoughts on that.

[Dan Patrick]

I think it's embarrassing when grown men in a baseball uniform are kicking dirt on the plate or yelling, turning their hat around with an umpire. I mean, I grew up on that in the 70s and Earl Weaver and Billy Martin. And I was like, oh, God. So I don't have any fondness for that. Trey, by the way, Todd, cast. Did you record that yesterday? A new episode?

[Todd]

We have not just yet. It was photo. It was photo day yesterday.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, that's right.

[Todd]

It took a while. And I think the 12:15 podcast, so we're getting bumped a little bit. But sometime in the coming days, we will be rolling it out.

[Dan Patrick]

By the way, we had picture day yesterday. Everybody got together, everybody got haircuts, everybody looking nice. And the photographer kept referring to Todd as shorty.

[Todd]

What was that all about?

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, short guy. You get in front. And Todd goes, oh, also, I'm the short guy. You know, compared to us, you're probably the shortest guy.

[Todd]

Yeah, but I didn't need like to hang a nickname on me. Could just. There's ways of saying that the English language has thousands of ways to refer to.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't think she knew your name,

[Todd]

but that's when you say, what's your name? And then I'd say, I'm Todd. Todd, since you're a little smaller than the other guys, why don't you stand here? There's a million ways she could have

[Dan Patrick]

said, you're not as tall as the other guys.

[Todd]

There are ways in this politically correct world that we're in for her just to throw out Jordy, why don't you get off in front of this one? I'm like, what?

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know if it was, like, politically correct.

[Todd]

She's a very sweet woman. I was offended a little bit by it, but.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, I know. You said it three times. Repeated it three times in 90 seconds. Oh, so I'm the shortcut.

[Todd]

And then. Because then she wants me to smile and act all happy and pose and do this and have all kinds of cute gestures that hold me short.

[Dan Patrick]

You always end up next to me. Whether it's dinner, it doesn't matter. You're always there.

[Todd]

So uncomfortable slash angry about that.

[Dan Patrick]

So, Shorty. Hey, Shorty.

[Todd]

She was very nice, though. I enjoyed working with her, but I didn't need that. I don't know how to hang that on me.

[Paulie]

Yes, Paul, what is the official number for short for a man? 5, 8, or 5 7. Because Todd's got to be close to 5 10.

[Todd]

I've been as tall as 5, 10 and a half, and I was very upset as of a few months ago when they dropped a 5, 9, and 3/4 on me. So we're already getting the shrinking old person.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, no, I just think you're not as tall as us, which is a

[Todd]

nice way to say that, as opposed to shorty. Why don't you stand over here?

[Dan Patrick]

But I think if you say, hey, less tall guy, it doesn't flow. She just said, hey, shorty.

[Todd]

It's definitely less offensive, even though if it doesn't go off the tongue as smoothly as saying, shorty, stand there.

[Dan Patrick]

It's your birthday. Hey, Shorty. Zach in Knoxville. Hey, Zach, what's on your mind today?

[Caller or Listener]

Thanks for taking my call. Gibbs in Virginia. Be a contributor to the show as a caller. I didn't know that it might be the biggest inflate on a resume that I've ever heard. So my question to you guys was, what was the biggest lie that you ever put on your resume?

[Seaton]

Yes, I didn't lie on my resume, but I definitely implied that when. When I put West Virginia University in 1996, people assume that's when I graduated. That's actually the one year I was there.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, that's not a lie. That's not that. That is a. A loophole. I think when somebody says, where'd you go to school?

[Seaton]

West Virginia. That is where I went to school. I just. I only went for a year. I didn't finish. But that's. So you see, you know, WVU 96, like, oh, I Graduated? No, I just. That was the one year I was there.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Paul.

[Paulie]

Yeah. So if Seaton's resume doesn't have BS Journalism Communications, then he's in the clear, right?

[Dan Patrick]

I don't have anything like that.

[Paulie]

But the BS could be for something else.

[Seaton]

Correct.

[Dan Patrick]

Todd, did you fib on your resume?

[Todd]

I didn't, but look, along with scene, you don't need to elaborate too much. They want you to kind of keep it to one page anyway. So if I said, you know, like staffer or something like that, it's like when I was at wfan, basically, for the two years I was there, I was editing tape while I was at a night, but I didn't feel a need to be that specific about it. Did you think I was an executive producer?

[Dan Patrick]

Producer?

[Todd]

I did not.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Todd]

I just put WFA in 90 to 92. I miss in the morning show and things like that. But I didn't say, oh, by the way, I was just editing tape at 3 o' clock in the morning with a razor blade and an old machine.

[Dan Patrick]

But that's what you were doing.

[Todd]

Basically, what I was doing to that time.

[Dan Patrick]

That's all right. Paulie, did you fib?

[Paulie]

The only thing I fibbed about was how long I was in college. I just put my graduation of college. I didn't put that. It took me five and a half years to get an undergraduate degree.

[Seaton]

Me and you are about the same.

[Caller (Tom or Buddha)]

Then about the.

[Seaton]

We just put the year.

[Paulie]

We put the, the year of the ending. You put the year at the beginning.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. I'm looking at the biggest chokes of the 21st century. And the Seattle Seahawks 2014 choking. That was, of course, Russell Wilson Jr. III. Right, but is that it?

[Seaton]

I prefer to say Malcolm Butler then.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, Is that, is that a choke job?

[Seaton]

They had the game 1. Give it to the one guy that the Patriots weren't able to stop the entire game and he'll win it for you.

[Dan Patrick]

You know what? Let me take a break. We'll discuss the top five on this list. Also, I got an incredible stat. I got something happened last night that's only happened one other time statistically since 1996. In the NBA, that's called a tease, kids. And up next, our play of the day.

There have been two players since 1996 to have at least 200 three pointers made and 100 dunks in a single season. Two players in history. One joined the club last night. Anybody want to offer up last time? Well, it's happened in the last six years that you've had. Well, because we're shooting more threes. Of course. So this happened last night. One player? Let me see. Yeah. Okay. Any guesses? Seaton, you got one.

[Seaton]

Kevin Durant.

[Dan Patrick]

Kevin Durant? No dang Marvin

[Marvin]

since 1996.

[Dan Patrick]

Yep.

[Marvin]

Glenn Rice?

[Dan Patrick]

Nope. They're not big names. One. One guy has been an all star. He's one of those guys that you go, oh, yeah, he's pretty good. The other guy has an appropriate first name for this. Stat of the day, any Todd.

[Todd]

Trey Young.

[Dan Patrick]

Trey Murphy.

[Paulie]

Trey Murphy.

[Dan Patrick]

Trey Murphy. He has 200 three pointers and he had a dunk last night. The other player, His university is in the final four. His alma mater in the final four. Not a big name, but an all star, I believe. Yes. Paul Rudy Gay. No, that would have been a.

[Seaton]

That's pretty.

[Dan Patrick]

That would have been you about this. Yes. Marvin.

[Marvin]

Well, Kendall Gill.

[Dan Patrick]

No.

[Seaton]

Oh.

[Dan Patrick]

Laurie Markin in. Yeah, obviously.

[Seaton]

Obviously.

[Paulie]

He could always finish at the rim.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show.

[Seaton]

All right.

[Dan Patrick]

We had a caller who said bleach report has the top choke jobs of the 21st century. We of course not knowing when the 21st century started. We're like, oh, we'll throw in Jean Vanderbilt. Well, that was 1999, so apparently that doesn't make the 21st century. Todd, you should have told us that. You should be knowing that stuff.

[Todd]

Totally slipped my mind.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Todd. 2011 Texas Rangers. I forgot about this. I mean, I didn't forget about the collapse. So two outs down to their final strike. David Freeze delivers a game tying two run triple. Game goes into extra innings. They're up three two and they have a seven to five lead going into the bottom of the ninth in game six. So they're three ounce away from winning the World Series. That Cardinals end up winning game six. Momentum carries to game seven. They win six two. The 2015 Golden State warriors are in there. Let's see. Let me recap the drama here. They started out 240 to start the season. They had 73 wins. They took a 31 series lead over LeBron and the Cavs in the finals. And the warriors failed to close things out at home. Draymond Green got suspended and then Lebron and Kyrie led. Cleveland cooked to the upset. The Yankees in O4, second on the list. And of course, the first season a rod is with the Yankees. They won 101 games and they're up three. Oh, everything's great. You had the stolen base by Dave Roberts, an RBI single from Bill Miller tying the game against Mariana Rivera. And then big Poppy delivers the walk off home run to avoid the sweep in game four. And then after that, well, we know what happened after that. And number one on the list, the biggest choke jobs of the 21st century. No, there's, there's no congratulations, there's no drum Roll your Atlanta Falcons up 28 to 3. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paul, two things. There's what, 74 years left in the century?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paulie]

I think the Falcons are going to hold this for a while.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. In my lifetime.

[Paulie]

Right.

[Dan Patrick]

Will there be a bigger choke job than the Atlanta Falcons?

[Paulie]

The math doesn't work. I can't picture another super bowl being a bigger point differential that late in the game. By the way, the 21st century does not start in 2000. It starts January 1, 2001. People celebrated a prematurely. 99, 2000. According to my people at the Gregorian calendar, there is no year zero. So the century started January 1, 2001.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Seaton]

You know what bugs me, though, about this list that we're looking at? I have no problem with the 2016 Atlanta Falcons being number one on that. Like Paul said, I think they might carry this through the century. My problem is that Matt Ryan is the picture they used. He didn't blow that game.

[Todd]

He didn't.

[Paulie]

He.

[Dan Patrick]

I can't blame. Okay. He didn't call the play. They were passing the ball. All they had to do is kneel down, kick a field goal, and he

[Seaton]

didn't give up all those points. It's not like the Patriots got all those points off of pick sixes or something. I don't know. I feel like he is the face of that way more than he should.

[Dan Patrick]

Should they put Dan Quinn?

[Seaton]

Heck, yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

He's the head coach. Kyle Shanahan, offensive coordinator. Yes. Marvin.

[Marvin]

That was going to be my thing. Kyle Shanahan always gets the blame for that, but I was like, he wasn't the head coach. The Patriots had to come back from 28 3. They had to score points on your defense. And on top of that, Matt Ryan threw one of the best pass, or it's probably a better catch than a better pass, but he was doing his part.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I can't put. There's enough blame to go around, but, yeah, you're up 283 and you're taunting Tom Brady on the sidelines.

[Seaton]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

I know. You don't see. Don't, don't, don't, do not.

[Seaton]

Sort of the greatest mic'd ups of all time.

[Dan Patrick]

Is it a defensive back who's kind of making fun saying something about Brady?

[Seaton]

I thought it was the wide receivers.

[Paulie]

It's like Muhammad Sunu.

[Seaton]

Yeah, Muhammad.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Yeah. That's where the defensive players go. Hey, shut up.

[Seaton]

They're on the field getting torched.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah, Paulie.

[Paulie]

Matt Ryan gets dinged for a strip sack he took. They were down. They were up 28:12 with eight minutes to go. And I think it's Dante Hightower just crushes them. But Matt Ryan did not block Dante

[Dan Patrick]

Hightower, by the way, Dante. Dante Hightower had two of the biggest plays in New England Patriots history. He stops Marshawn from going into the end zone against Seattle, and then he has this incredible sack against Matt Ryan. Underrated. Christopher Mad Dog Russo will join us. He'll be on fire about something. Meet Friday Dan Patrick show. This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
