NBA Playoffs Recap & Analysis

Lakers vs. Thunder: Depth on Display

• Thunder defeat the Lakers despite an off-night for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) who had under 20 points and 7 turnovers.
  • Dan Patrick (04:49): "SGA didn’t play well, LeBron played well, and you still lose by 20. Like, that’s the scary part of this."
• OKC’s depth: Dan and Marvin liken the Thunder’s bench power to peak Warriors teams.
  • Marvin (06:21): "Thunder last night kind of looked like the Steph Curry Warriors in their prime... That’s how deep this Thunder team is. Jared McCain, who’s the ninth or tenth guy, came off and hit four three-pointers for them."
• Lakers’ outlook: With missing key scorer Luca, the consensus expects L.A. to maybe take a game or two but not the series.
  • Paul (06:55): Highlights a critical third-quarter moment: “Felt like the Lakers could cut it to four... instantly it was 11. That was their shot.”
• LeBron’s comments on Luca’s absence: The crew discusses whether citing Luca missing is a reasonable rationale or an excuse.
  • Dan Patrick (11:05): "He’s 41 and can’t do it alone. He’s reminding people—if we have Luca, maybe we make this a series."
  • Dylan (13:15): "I think you can still call it an excuse, but like a valid one. Is that fair?"

Around the NBA: Other Underdogs

• Poll Question: Which underdog could advance? (Cavs, 76ers, Lakers, Timberwolves)
  • Dan Patrick (07:41): "Why doesn’t Minnesota get more love?... They’ve been to the Western Conference finals back to back years."
• Cavs vs. Pistons: James Harden looks old, and Detroit’s Cade Cunningham draws comparisons to Jalen Brunson for crafty play.
  • Dan Patrick (08:16): "Cade Cunningham... He’s just coming after you... This is what I love—you see great players be great at this time of year."
• Team Play: The crucial role of “the others” in NBA playoff success.
  • Marvin (10:12): "Shaq usually calls them ‘the others’—the guy that comes up big in the playoff series."

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Dan Patrick (11:55): "I didn’t look at it as LeBron needs an excuse. He was just reminding people—‘I’m out here on an island. We don’t have Luca.’"
• Paul (14:01): "Jordan would have won without Luca."
• Dylan (13:43): Playfully reframing LeBron’s comment: "Jordan would have won without Luca."
• Dan Patrick (12:54): "I didn’t view it as an excuse, but then I don’t see LeBron through the lens people do who don’t like him."
• Dan Patrick (14:14): "Did you see where Austin Rivers fired back at Draymond Green after Draymond fired at Austin? We’ve gotta see if Austin will ever join us again."

Celebrity & Fan Culture: Green Room Demands & Knicks Fans

Ben Stiller, Knicks Loyalty, and the Met Gala

• Ben Stiller’s Knicks fan status questioned after attending the Met Gala instead of a playoff game. Stiller jokes on Twitter about his absence.
  • Paul (15:40): "Minutes after we tweeted out, he responded saying, ‘Bring it, I know who I am.’ He’s not afraid of the criticism."
  • Dan Patrick (17:21): "Ben Stiller tweeted: I guess I have to go to the Met ball again on Wednesday. Don’t mess with a streak."

  • Spouses are separated, phones are banned, and you may greet Anna Wintour for only 20 seconds.
• Discussion: The team jests about New York needing a “Mets Gala”—where the joke is “wearing garbage bags.”

Incredible Green Room Demands (26:00–35:00)

• Dan shares wild celebrity requests:
  • One unnamed star requests birthday cake and steak, just for the smell, not for eating.
    • Dan Patrick (25:57): "The person wanted to smell the cake, the icing, I guess... And then as far as the steak as well. Not to eat the steak. To smell the steak."
  • Todd (26:08): "At the very least, the celebrity has to make that request. Hopefully, they’ll understand how ridiculous it is."
• Other stars: Madonna wants her backstage to look like her home, Mariah Carey needs a bottle of Crystal with bendy straws, Adele’s no-Chardonnay wine rule, Britney Spears wants a framed photo of Princess Diana.
  • Dan Patrick (28:09): "Beyoncé... can only have Pepsi, has to have heavily seasoned chicken, and the room set to 78 degrees."
• “Regular guys” contrast: Dan’s own modest green room preference is “a six-pack of Jenny Cream Ale and a bag of Doritos.”
  • Dan Patrick (35:51): "That was lunch. Jenny Cream Ale and Doritos. Yeah, it was good."

Parenting, Swearing, and Generational Differences

• Allowing kids to swear at home: The Danettes debate whether letting young children curse at home (but not in public) is wise.
  • Marvin (38:11): "My son said [the F-word] in the heat of battle during flag football. He cannot say that in the house. He’s safer playing in traffic than saying that to me."
  • Dan Patrick (39:04): "I don’t want you to feel like you can say them... You’re going to hear them, but that doesn’t give you a hall pass."

Summary

Hour 1 of the May 6, 2026 Dan Patrick Show delivers signature quick-witted NBA Playoffs coverage—spotlighting the depth of the Thunder and Lakers’ woes, LeBron’s “valid excuses,” and the complexity of assessing player absence in the postseason. Beyond hoops, the discussion turns to the spectacle and silliness of A-list green room demands, celebrity/fan loyalty debates, and what’s “reasonable” in both locker rooms and parenting. The Danettes’ humor is sharp, especially when poking fun at themselves or the extravagance of the sports & entertainment world. For listeners, this hour is a brisk, engaging mix: smart analysis, inside-baseball stories, and the charm of everyday life filtered through the lens of sports radio vets.

[Dan Patrick]

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio, hour one on this Wednesday. Dan and the Danettes. Dan Patrick. Patrick Show. Come on in. Stay a while. Tim Legler from the Mothership will stop by. Dave McMenamin, whose job at ESPN is covering the Lakers, covering LeBron, something the Thunder did last night. Not that well. He played pretty well. But this is one of those. If they get a game, that might be a big accomplishment here as I'm watching and you know I'm looking at the point spreads. They're 15 and a half point underdogs on Thursday in game two. The 76ers are six and a half point under underdogs tonight against the Knicks. Timberwolves are nine and a half point underdogs against the Spurs. Stat of the day is always brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. For my birthday, a week from this Friday, Rec Tech is giving away a grill. You can go to rectech.com search the Dan Patrick show for details. We will give that grill away. By the way, one of the grills is fired up today because we're making pizza. We got the pizza insert. So I said to Dylan, how about a pizza Wednesday? And he went out and got some dough, some ingredients. So in between like commercial breaks, he's out there whipping up some pizzas. So we have hot honey suprasada. Is that salami? It's.

[Dylan]

Yeah, basically.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, Pepperoni and onion.

[Paul]

It's salami.

[Dan Patrick]

Spicy brother pesto arugula brigitte and sausage and rigotte. How did I do?

[Dylan]

You kind of nailed that, actually.

[Dan Patrick]

All right.

[Dylan]

After the initial soprasada hump, you got the rest. Killed the rest.

[Dan Patrick]

I thought you were saying we were having hot honey super salad. And I go, why are we having super salad? Then you go, no, it's pronounced differently.

[Dylan]

Although salad pizza done well as Greek salad pizza.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no. And no pineapple on there.

[Dylan]

No, not no, I'm out on that. But salad pizza, yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Who has it better than we do? Nobody. All righty. Trouble sleeping. Introducing Z Kleiner. Or you could listen to the Todd cast revolutionary recliner design by Flex D. I heard you.

[Todd]

I'm just not going to comment that.

[Dan Patrick]

That's three minutes and 21 seconds in. Dang. I was going to take the over.

[Todd]

That was unprovoked. You just started up.

[Dan Patrick]

I know, I know. Z Kleiner engineered with restful sleep in mind, making it an ideal bed alternative. A healthy life starts with a healthy night's sleep. Visit z kliner.com danpatrick today to find a Z Kliner near you got a play of the day poll question stat of the day. All of that forthcoming. Pistons handled the Cavaliers, Thunder over the Lakers. This is. I'll start with the Lakers and the Thunder because you had Shea Gilgis. Alexander held under 20 points. He had seven turnovers. Okay, now we have a recipe for. Maybe we can steal one here you got OKC second best player Jalen Williams who is not playing. And maybe you get some magic here. Austin Reeves didn't play well. LeBron played well. They still. They miss Luca. It's hard to threaten OKC without Luca out there. And LeBron even lamented that. That, hey, we got a guy who scores 30 points who's not out there. Luke Canard's a nice role player. They just don't have the weapons. And OKC is deep. They are really. You know, they got guys who are coming off the bench, might be the 10th or 11th guy on their bench. They might be the fifth or sixth player for another team, but they're very deep. And they showed it last night. They kind of went through the motions. This is one of those where SGA didn't play well, LeBron played well, and you still lose by 20. Like, that's the scary part of this. But do I think they can win a game here? Yes, I do. Maybe two. I don't think they'll be swept.

[Marvin]

Yes, Marv, the Thunder last night, they kind of look like the Steph Curry Spurs. I mean, spurs, warriors in their prime. Whereas, like, man, we're trying to hold them off as long as we can, and what if we take the ball out of Steph Curry's hands? But guess what? Klay Thompson goes off, Leandro Barbosa goes off, Andre Iguodala goes off. That's how deep this Thunder team is. You don't know. Jared McCain, who's the ninth or 10th guy, came off and hit four three pointers for them last night.

[Dan Patrick]

I know it's one of those where you go, wait, who's this guy? Who's that guy?

[Marvin]

Former sixer.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Then you're going, okay, I had. That's where I saw him. Yes. Okay. Yeah.

[Paul]

Paul, There was a point in the third quarter where it felt like the Lakers could cut it to four, and there was a replay that went against them, and then instantly it was 11, and it felt like that was their shot, and they were in striking distance and it never got closer.

[Dan Patrick]

8, 7, 7, 3. DP show email address DP danpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls, and we'll come up with a poll question. We got a play of the day. Stat of the day is always brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock or NBC Sports Network. Dylan, what's the poll question for the first hour of the program?

[Dylan]

All right, we got a couple. Dan, this one's from Paulie which underdog would you have advancing the Cavaliers, 76ers, Lakers or Timberwolves, all dogs in their respective series?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I don't know why Minnesota doesn't get more love, more verbal bouquets. They've been to the Western Conference finals back to back years. So it's not a fluke that they're here and it's not a fluke that they won game one against San Antonio because the spurs have minimal playoff experience. You got Rudy Gobert, you got Anthony Edwards, Julius Randall. They do have experience here and that's what's kind of surprising. It's. You would think San Antonio would be the underdog even though they had a better record, they had a better regular season. But the fact that maybe it's just you say Timberwolves and maybe that doesn't strike fear, but they've gone to the Western Conference finals back to back years. So I would say them, you know, the Cleveland Detroit series, that could be a seven game series. Although James Harden looked old last night, he. Well he is old but he looked older and for some reason they had him bringing the ball up. And also our Thompson was guarding him and who he was all over James Harden. And this what I don't understand. How about you let somebody else bring the ball up Because I don't want James Harden expending all that energy just getting the ball to half court. Had seven turnovers and he looked old. And Detroit, you know that that was a great all around team performance. But Kate Cunningham, you know he's kind of the right handed version of Jalen Brunson. It feels like, like he's just coming after you. He's going to continue to score. I mean they're different players but because Cunningham was leading the NBA in assist before he got hurt. So. But to see him, this is what I love. You see great players be great at this time of the year because that's really we focus on that bottom line sports society. What did you do in the playoffs? What'd you do? You know, winning a championship, not winning a championship. The year you won your mvp. Those are the kind of things Anthony Edwards, we didn't know if he was going to play or when he was going to play. Off the bench. 18 points. You love seeing that Cade Cunningham, Jalen Brunson, what he did, like, that's what you want. You know SGA will be great in this series. But it was almost one of those where he thought ah, don't need to tonight. Yes, Marvin.

[Marvin]

And in the playoffs Shaq usually calls Them, the others, you got those guys like Duncan Robinson, our boy from the Heat. He had a big game last night. You're always going to need that man. He's still in the league. Or who is that guy that comes up big in the playoff series.

[Dan Patrick]

The Cavs tied the game. They came back from, what were they down 18 or something? And so five minutes to go. Cade Cunningham comes back in the game, delivers three straight possessions with perfect passes for six points. And, you know, they're. They're starting to crumble a little bit. And then he comes back in and they go on cruise to the victory. All right, what other poll question are you thinking about here, Dill?

[Dylan]

This is from Todd LeBron blaming the loss on Lucas absence and lack of scoring is a very understandable and reasonable point or a bad sign. Dot, dot, dot excuses already after game one.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I think he's reminding everybody of, you know, LeBron 10 years ago, you know, would, would be approaching this differently now. It's. He's 41 and he can't do it alone. And he's reminding people of, hey, if we have Luca, then maybe we can make this a series. Reminding them, and maybe Luca is going to be able to play. I mean, I mean, he, he's telling factually, he's telling you the truth. If they had Luca, they have a chance to win this series. They just don't have him. Maybe you get him when they go back to Los Angeles. Dave McMenamon, who will join us later on, he'll have an update on that, I'm sure. Yes, Marvin, wait.

[Marvin]

So the NBA scoring leader has an

[Dan Patrick]

effect on a series?

[Marvin]

That's crazy.

[Dan Patrick]

I didn't look at it as LeBron is. Needs an excuse. I think he was just reminding people of, we got to the second round. We weren't supposed to beat Houston. We got to the second round. I'm out here on an island just reminding you we don't have Luca. And if we do get now, I know there's going to be people who parse this and say, Michael Jordan never would have made an excuse like that. Do you think that happens in, in LeBron's life? No matter what happens, like if he drops the mail when he's, you know, bringing in, you know, Jordan never would have dropped the mail. You know, he's not good at parallel park. Well, Michael pretty good partner. Yes, Paul?

[Paul]

I don't know if it's fair to say LeBron made up an excuse for the loss. He was asked about the Lakers offensive struggles last night and he said, well, the offensive struggles. We have a guy who averaged 37 a game, 35 this year. What are you asking?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paul]

And he was making the point that it's obvious what the struggles are. It's not like they didn't actually play that bad offensively over the course of the game. They just don't have their main guy.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah. I didn't. I didn't view it as an excuse, but then I don't see LeBron through the lens that people do who don't like him or they're just waiting for him to say something. Yes, Dylan, I mean, I think you

[Dylan]

can still call it an excuse, but like a valid one. Is that fair?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, then it becomes a fact. It's not an excuse, is it? It's just, hey, these are the fact you're going against one of the best defensive teams in the NBA.

[Dylan]

I mean, I've made a lot of excuses that were true, at least to me.

[Dan Patrick]

Once again, I'm not going to, you know, dive down into semantics here of what LeBron is saying. How he's saying it is an excuse.

[Dylan]

Is it?

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Dylan]

Jordan would have won without Luca.

[Paul]

He did. He won without Luca.

[Dan Patrick]

He never played with Luca.

[Paul]

That's true.

[Dylan]

Argument over by choice.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Paul]

I love our take on this topic.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Marvin]

Worst take.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Boy. Did you see where Austin Rivers fired back at Draymond Green after Draymond Green fired at Austin Rivers. We got to see if Austin Rivers will ever join us again because I don't want to get him in trouble again. But I didn't have to say much when I talked about what Draymond's comments were about how he was used by Steve Kerr. But then Draymond makes it personal, and Austin Rivers was never making it personal. Like, he even complimented Draymond Green. But Austin River. It's a four minute clip. I, I appreciate Austin Rivers mentioning the Dan Patrick Show. So I, I'd listened to the whole thing after I heard that. I'm like, okay, he complimented. Give us credit. Ben Stiller did reach out, apparently on social media after some of the Danets or our poll question, some of the audience called him out for not going to the Knicks game. And I said, I don't have any problem with it. The only Problem I have is when he's walking up the steps and he's going to the photographers. Nixon 6. Meanwhile, his wife is having her handheld by somebody to help her get up the steps. That was the only problem I had. He'll be there tonight. Front row. Yes. Dylan.

[Dylan]

My real issue with that was that it's really Nixon 4. Oh, not Nixon 6.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, okay.

[Dylan]

According to Rob in the back.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. I. I was going to say Nixon 3. The way they play.

[Dylan]

If they could, they would.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah, Paul.

[Paul]

So the guys in back tweeted out the segment about Ben Stiller in the Met Gala, and minutes after we tweeted it out, he responded saying, bring it, I know who I am. Like, he's not afraid of the criticism in any way.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Marvin]

No, I think they treat him the same. I think they show him more support because also a lot of those people, they're all New Yorkers and the Met Gala is a part of the fabric of New York life anyway.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, I see. But you didn't use fabric. Yeah.

[Marvin]

Oh, see, what? I didn't even mean to bloop myself.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Dylan.

[Dylan]

If they lose game two, though, are they gonna be like, go back to the Met Gala? Ben, come on.

[Dan Patrick]

Should the Mets have a Mets gala?

[Dylan]

No.

[Dan Patrick]

Where everybody shows up, very, you know, fashion friendly. A Mets gala or wearing garbage bags would be. Wow. Okay. No, I told you. You know what's going to happen? The Mets second half of the season are going to be crazy great, and then they're going to raise your hopes, and then it'll be a crashing fall. Yes, Paul.

[Paul]

Ben Stiller was ahead of this right after the Knicks won the other night. He tweeted out, I guess I have to go to the Met ball again on Wednesday.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Paul]

Don't mess with a streak.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Paul]

He gets it.

[Dan Patrick]

Showing his sense of humor there. Funny guy. But we did invite him on. But did we get a response?

[Todd]

We did not get a response. We used to in the past when

[Dan Patrick]

we've invited him on but he did respond and then liked some of our social media things yesterday. Yes.

[Dylan]

Dill, would you go to the MA Galadan if invited one time just to kind of see what it's all about?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah. But I, I would not know, you know what to wear, how to dress when you go to that.

[Dylan]

I, I'll help you.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, guys can get by with not crazy things. It's the women who have crazy outfits

[Dylan]

there, you know, which they all. I learned yesterday in my Met Gala research. They all, all the people attending and outfits have to be pre approved by Anna Wintour so she gets like the final look which is actually makes even crazier when you see some of the outfits where she's like, yeah, it's good.

[Dan Patrick]

But you're not allowed to have garlic or onions in any of the dishes to prevent bad breath.

[Dylan]

That's good for you.

[Dan Patrick]

No bruschetta because it's messy. No parsley or chives because they get stuck in your teeth. Spouses are seated at different tables from one another. Phones are banned and you can greet Anna Wintour for a maximum of 20 seconds. Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

What, what is that all about? That harkens back to like certain celebrities or hosts. When you go on their show, you can't look them right in the eye or don't engage them if you see them in the hall or in the elevator. I just. We're all human beings. I hate when I hear those stories.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you. Todd. Yes, Paul.

[Paul]

I actually like the 22nd rule. Quick small talk. How are you? Good to see you. What are you wearing?

[Dan Patrick]

Nice to meet you.

[Podcast Narrator (Superhuman)]

Let's go.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. You know, speaking of what celebrities want, I have two that I found out from somebody that I can't tell you the celebrity, but I'll after the break I'm going to tell you what this person needs, wants, has to have in their green room. It will blow you away. I'll have that for you right after this. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque, others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all. Embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.

[Dan Patrick]

Within probably 10 days, I'd put on £10. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

I like the bougie style of Housewives show. I think it looks like it's gonna be interesting. On the podcast Reality with the King I Carlos King, recap the biggest moments from your favorite reality shows, including the Real Housewives franchise, the drama, the alliances and the tea everybody's talking about. As an executive producer in reality television, I'm not just watching it. I understand the game. As somebody who creates shows, I'll even say this at the end of the day, when people are at home, they want entertainment. To hear this and more, listen to Reality with the king on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Debbie Brown]

The story I've told myself about love or relationships can then shape my behavior and that can lead me to sabotage the possibility of connection. This Mental Health Awareness Month, tune into the podcast Deeply well with Debbie Brown and explore the journey of healing, self discovery and returning to yourself. We explore higher consciousness, emotional well being, and the practices that help you find clarity, peace and self mastery in a world that can feel overwhelming. The world is becoming lonelier.

If you've been searching for a soft place to land while doing the work to become whole, this podcast is for you. To hear more.

[Tom Boger / Leigh Ann (multiple D speakers)]

So I'm Leigh Ann.

[Janet / Callers]

Yeah.

[Tom Boger / Leigh Ann (multiple D speakers)]

This is my best friend Janet and we have been joined at the hip since high school. Absolutely. Now, a redacted amount of years later,

[Dan Patrick]

we're still joined at the hip just a Little bit bigger, hips wider.

[Tom Boger / Leigh Ann (multiple D speakers)]

This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of

[Dan Patrick]

my Honda Odyssey with all the snacks and drinks.

[Tom Boger / Leigh Ann (multiple D speakers)]

Sidebar. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, they had a bogo.

[Debbie Brown]

Well, then you got it.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you want a white collar sub? Beer?

[Tom Boger / Leigh Ann (multiple D speakers)]

Just hanging.

[Dan Patrick]

What are y' all doing? Microphones. Are you making a rap album?

[Debbie Brown]

Oh, I wouldn't.

[Dan Patrick]

How could you believe it?

[Janet / Callers]

I would buy it cuts through the

[Dan Patrick]

defense like a hot knife through sponge cake. That sounds delicious.

[Janet / Callers]

Oh, you're lucky I'm not a drug addict.

[Dan Patrick]

You're lucky I'm not an alcoholic. You are lucky I'm not a killer.

[Tom Boger / Leigh Ann (multiple D speakers)]

I love this team, and I'm really

[Paul]

trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, listen to soccer moms on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Saw where Clemson head coach Dabo Sweeney took a shot at Notre Dame and the Ohio State. We'll talk about that coming up. 877-3-DP Show Email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show I was mentioning green room. Green room demands by celebrities. Don't want to mention any names, but this person had two requirements that stood out to me. I was talking to a stage manager, and we were just talking about celebrities, what they asked for, who was high maintenance, who's somebody you'd go, wow, he's a dream to work with. He or she. This person had two strange demands, in my opinion, in their green room. One was they had to have birthday cake. They had to have cake in the green room, but the person didn't want to eat the cake. The person just wanted to smell the cake. Stage manager, you know, production manager, unit manager, had to go out and get a cake each day. The other one was this person wanted steak in their dressing room not to eat. The person wanted to smell the steak. He would have to go out and get steak cooked, put it in the green room, and this person could smell the steak and then also smell the cake as well. Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

Speaking of Ben Stiller, that kind of reminds me of dodgeball when he's got, like, the slice of pizza, but he's just trying not to eat. He's like, hooked up to the. The electrical thing. He's torturing himself with it.

[Dan Patrick]

But we're not talking about Ben Stiller in. In my story.

[Dylan]

No, no, no. It's just like, that reminds me of that, where it's like I. It's just there to smell and look at. But I can't have it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Paul.

[Paul]

You know, I've seen lots of these lists. It's, you know, different foods and drinks and meds and all these type of things. But the idea of having food brought in daily, like, not. Not. You're not saying a birthday cake for this person's birthday. A daily cake?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paul]

And it's not being eaten.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no. The person wanted to smell the cake, the icing, I guess. And then as far the steak as well. Not to eat the steak. To smell the steak. Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

I think at the very least, especially when you have those kind of requests, the celebrity, him or herself, has to make that request. And hopefully they'll understand as they're saying it to the person that would be on the receiving end of that conversation. To realize how ridiculous that is. You could hide behind an agent or a publicist or a manager, but if you specifically want that, you should have to ask. Realize how obnoxious that is.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Paul]

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

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. All right, I'm okay with that. Yeah.

[Dylan]

Dylan, I'm looking at Esquire's list and Mariah Carey, bottle of crystal with bendy straws. And then someone to throw away her gum.

[Paul]

Gum thrower.

[Dylan]

That's pretty good.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, Justin Bieber, 10 luxury sedans, a private jet on standby, a massage table. Okay, let's see. How about Beyonce? She can't have Coca Cola, can only have Pepsi. She has to have heavily seasoned baked chicken legs, breast and wings and hot sauce. And the dressing room has to be set to 78 degrees at all times.

[Dylan]

78.

[Dan Patrick]

78.

[Paul]

It's warm.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Paul Drake. Tons of alcohol. Bottles of Hennessy or Corvo, Tequila, Jack Daniels, Heineken. All right, I'm okay with that. Taylor Swift loves her Starbucks. The order has to be delivered before 11am Very, very specific order. I'm okay with that. Selena Gomez, she needs chicken pot pie and pickles. I'm fine with that too. Rihanna wants a large fur rug and she wants to walk on it barefoot. She has to have special curtains. Icy blue chiffon and white curtains. Let's see. Justin Timberlake. He has to have somebody disinfect the doorknobs of any backstage venue every two hours. I'm fine with that. JLo, everything's got to be white. All objects, candles, everything have to be white. Katy Perry, friend of the show. You can't send. You can't send carnations. She wants dried apples and pears and lightly salted roasted edamame. Okay, how do you decide if it's salted or lightly salted? Jay Z. Seven dressing rooms. One for every day of the week maybe. Good quality peanut butter, good quality jelly. So P.B. and J. I'm fine with that. Let's see, anybody else that we might care? How about Kanye? Oh, boy. Has to have a certain kind of chapstick, Sunkissed salted pistachios, bottles of a certain water. Plenty of booze as well. Alcohol infused slushy machines. I'm good with that too. All right, Lady Gaga. Oh, my God. I don't. I can't say this one on the air. And what she wants. How about Kevin Hart? He asked to have five women between ages 21 and 27 with athletic, sexy build at the venue one hour ahead of time and stay one hour after. I'm not sure that's true, but. All right, I see where he's coming from.

[Dylan]

Oddly specific times.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, it's true. And ages. Britney Spears had to have a framed photo of Princess Diana. Britney adores the monarchy. And she also wants McDonald's cheeseburgers and no bun. Let's see. Lindsay Lohan. Whoa. One of the demands is she wanted to meet Vladimir Putin. Also also requested she be given a one year visa, private jet, and $650,000 for her appearance on a show. I guess in Russia, George Clooney has to have a custom made beach hut. These are all according to Esquire. Let's see. Mary J. Blige needs her own private toilet, complete with new seat. Any hotel she stays in. Madonna, Madge. She has 200 people in her entourage adamant about backstage room resembling her personal home as Paulie brought up Eminem. Let's see, he wants six Lunchables, three Turkeys, and three Hams, if we're being specific. He needs 24 cans of Diet Coke and 24 plastic bottles of it. All right. I would still say if you're going to have steak, but not eat it because you want the smell. And you're going to have birthday cake just for the smell, not for eating it. That's pretty bizarre. Cher has to have a separate room for all of her wigs. Whatever Cher wants, she gets, in my opinion. Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

I think, sneakily, Adele's might be the most gangster one. It's just a pack of Marble Lights, two bottles of California Red and one bottle of California White Wine. No Chardonnay, which means she has nice taste. You know, Dan, we're wine guys. California Chardonnay, not the best.

[Dan Patrick]

I know. I refuse to surrender to Chardonnay. I'm sorry, I can't. I know. Buttery. Yes, Todd?

[Todd]

Where do producers, directors, executives, whoever makes the final call and what they can and can't deliver? If someone's just coming on a talk show for a segment or two, as opposed to a concert or a residency, doesn't that change a little bit? Can you have a list of 15, 20 things for your green room when you're going to be on set for the tonight show for 10 minutes? Because some of them want crazy things just for a quick segment on a talk show. Like.

[Dan Patrick]

No, I would think these are. These are all performers. This is concerts. This. This wouldn't be. You go to the Jimmy Kimmel show or Jimmy Fallon show and you asked for this. Although Fallon had a pretty sharp green room that I stayed in. It's like a. It was a log cabin that was built inside this room. Fallon had a bar, or. No, Kimmel had a bar inside. And then they move the bar outside after the show. Then you go outside and everybody from the show, you know, kind of files out.

[Paul]

Yes, Paul, I still have the email from the last time you were on Jimmy Fallon show, and they asked specifically if there's anything you'd like in your green room. And you said, I'm good. Yeah, they had tons of stuff.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah. I didn't need anything. I was fine. I mean, I asked for Jennifer Aniston. They. They couldn't come up with that. But I asked, you know, I don't have any real specific needs here, but Jennifer Aniston. Yes, Marvin.

[Janet / Callers]

Yeah.

[Marvin]

You don't forget where you come from.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah. I'm loyal to the soil, man.

[Marvin]

Sponsored by trugreen.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

What is Lindsay Lohan doing that she has a writer? I say, I Checked. Lindsay Lohan's not performing any concerts.

[Dan Patrick]

I think that was a long time ago. She was going to be on a show and I think it was in Russia. And then she wanted a one year visa and a private jet and wanted to meet Putin and get $650,000.

[Dylan]

She's like, give me the Edward Snowden rider.

[Dan Patrick]

Wow. Okay. Chris in Syracuse. Good morning, Chris. What's on your mind?

[Janet / Callers]

Thanks, Dan. Yeah. Question for you and comment on my Knicks. Yeah, I'm excited. And Leon Rose kind of built this team a little bit on defense and OG and Obi. I mean, he did a great job on Embiid and he can guard all five positions. You could put him on Maxey and kind of like Wemby. He makes you change your offense. And he's always in the passing lanes and with Brunson and Cat. I mean, as liabilities on deed is great on help D. So, yeah, I think for the Knicks to do well, it pretty much starts and ends with defense. And Dan, a question for you on the green room. I remember probably many years ago, probably 15 years ago, you said, All I need is six pack of Jenny Cream and a bag of Doritos and Dan's a happy camper. Does that still apply 15 years later?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I ended up going to a wedding. In fact, I saw the guy whose wedding I went to. He joined. He came to the show in Pittsburgh and he said, do you remember what you. I drove up with my now wife and we got a 12 pack of Jenny Cream Ale and we got a bag of Doritos and we drove from Dayton all the way up to Canton. And my wife was like, is this normal? Because she didn't have any of, you know, that kind of beer, Doritos. That, that was lunch. And I remember we had Jenny Cream Ale and we had Doritos. I was like, yeah, it was good. Yes.

[Marvin]

Marvin, you growing up poor keeps you humble.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. You gotta remember.

[Marvin]

But also, you know what? And I think maybe for us to have kids in here, in my head sometimes I'm like, man, our kids are living better than us. Man, I really wish I hadn't done so well in life. I want him to struggle.

[Dan Patrick]

But you struggled long enough. You don't want to struggle anymore.

[Marvin]

No, no, I want him to struggle.

[Dan Patrick]

I know, but you don't want to struggle.

[Marvin]

No, no, no, no, you're right.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Brat. Your son, he's well behaved, except for he drops an F bomb occasionally, right? Yeah.

[Marvin]

During flag football, he was not happy with an opponent.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Marvin]

No. My son said that in the heat of battle during a flag football game, he cannot say that in the house. He's safer playing in traffic than playing with me.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, all right, yes.

[Dylan]

Still, I have no issue with that. I think in the grand scheme of life, a couple swear words here and there, pretty minor. He's also going to learn them on the bus in six months anyways, so.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but I don't want you to feel like you can say them, you're gonna hear them, but that doesn't mean. That doesn't give you a hall pass to go, you know, when do you say it and who do you say it to?

[Dylan]

Right, Everyone. I just don't think, I think the swearing, things change. Like, my dad was pretty strict about it. My mom was not. But then, like, you know, over time, I think that's shifted. As with the newer generations, I don't know, they realize it's not that important.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Paul.

[Paul]

My kids are teenagers and I don't completely bar them from swearing in the house, but I discourage it. I think it's a bad habit. It's lazy. It's, you know, it's not going to help them out. So I think the less they do it, the better it'll work out. They get salty at me sometimes. I'm like, don't say that. But I think it's a good plan.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Dylan]

D well, people have done that forever. Their kid will swear when, like, dinner gets over, they're like, I have no idea where he learned that. And everyone's like, we do. It was you.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. They giggle. Oh, isn't it cute? No, it's not. No, it's not. All right, Play of the day. Up next, Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our [e-mail] and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to listen live.

I'm Tom Bogle. On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, you'll get the real storylines.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm not worried about Pulisic. I'm not worried about Baligan. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back.

[Tom Boger / Leigh Ann (multiple D speakers)]

The biggest decisions.

[Dan Patrick]

You're going to look at stats and numbers. He has no shot at making this World cup team.

[Tom Boger / Leigh Ann (multiple D speakers)]

And the truth about the US national

[Dan Patrick]

team, it wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals.

[Janet / Callers]

I'm gonna play it and play it.

[Dan Patrick]

This is the play of the day. Check this out. Brock Nelson skate the stick. Ross Colton hooks up with Nick.

[Janet / Callers]

Oh, what a release from jolly old Saint Nick. The third goal of the playoffs and

[Dan Patrick]

it's 31 Colorado early in the second period. 12 different Avalanche players have scored a goal in the series, an NHL record for the first two games of a playoff series. That's courtesy of Altitude Radio Network. That is your play of the day. Play of the day brought to you by. Dude. Of all of our sponsors, all of our great partners, this is Fritz's favorite. Dude Wipes Wetter is better available at Amazon and major retailers nationwide. Dude wipes best clean pants down early poll results. Dylan.

[Dylan]

Yeah, Dan. We had. Which underdog in the NBA finals is advancing? 59% are saying the Timberwolves.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Dylan]

Out of the Cavs, 76ers, Lakers and they. And then was LeBron making an excuse when citing Lucas absence for the lack of scoring? We have twisted the words a little bit. Yes, no or yes, but valid. 51 and a half say yes, but valid.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I don't know if it's an excuse. It's just a reminder, a reason. Yeah. Yeah. Now it's going to be labeled an excuse. And I would just say it's just a reminder. Hey, we don't have one of the greatest scorers in the game.

[Marvin]

Yes, Marv, but Paulie brought this up in the first segment. They asked him about this. He didn't just bring it up out of nowhere. So he's just answering a question like, what's with your offensive struggles? I'm sorry, our leading score. The NBA's leading scorer is in here.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah.

[Paul]

Paul, it's almost so obvious you have to say that if you're LeBron. We don't have Luca and we're facing the best defensive team in the league and in recent history.

[Dan Patrick]

Jeff in Tampa. Hi, Jeff. What's on your mind today?

[Janet / Callers]

I was just hearing that the Texans were kind of, you know, hemming and hawing over whether they should pay C.J. stroud now. I mean, I don't know how many 24 year old quarterbacks have three playoff wins. And I don't see him, with him having elite receivers, elite running back. I know he had an atrocious last playoff game. And you, if you don't, you know, you don't have to pay a top dollar, maybe you try to save a little, but you gotta at least give him Brock Purdy money. Like, what am I missing here?

[Dan Patrick]

DP I gotta, I, he's regressed. And you know, the problem is the price that he's going to be asking for. That's where, you know, I need a little more of a sample size here. I need to know that what happened in the playoffs last year at the end of the regular season isn't the new norm here. Every quarterback goes through injuries with offensive line or wide receivers. It happens. But that's where great quarterbacks can make up for losses or deficits. That's what he has to do. Does he have the talent? He's shown that. But what we saw, I mean, there's a few quarterbacks, I, I will always wait later. And even if I'm upsetting a quarterback or his agent or he's not going to want to stay here, they're going to stay where the money is. I need you to show me. Look at Miami with Tuatanga Vailoa. Look at Kyler Murray in Arizona. Like, there's a list of these quarterbacks where I go, no, wait, it's okay to wait. I know it's going to cost me more. But you know what cost me a whole lot more when I go early and now I'm stuck with you. If. If it means, all right, I got to spend 5 more. 5 million more each year. And now I'm comfortable with that decision. But no C.J. stroud. I mean, they just extended Will Anderson. That's the interesting part. Because those guys, you would think would be a package deal.

[Paul]

Yeah, Paulie, if they signed C.J. stroud, you would think it would be for as much or more than Brock Purdy got. Brock Purdy got five years, 265 million, 181 million guaranteed. It's got to be north of that. That's how it works in this business.

[Dan Patrick]

So that's what you're getting into, Mark, in Rochester. I like that it's bothering him, you know, in April or May. Now, about C.J. stroud.

[Janet / Callers]

Hey, Mark, do you mind if I take this? Hey, Dan. How are you?

[Dan Patrick]

Good. Mark, are you busy at work?

[Janet / Callers]

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

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Janet / Callers]

I actually used to work for an affiliate. I work for hot dog 1280 whtk now fox sports Rochester. I just wanted to thank you for everything that you've done for me. And I was talking to your aide, and I said, do you know how your parents allow you to open up one Christmas gift on Christmas Eve? And my gift, the best gift I ever got was the big show, and I literally ruined Christmas because I stayed up all night reading that show, reading the book, and you inspired me to have a journalism career. So I just wanted to thank you.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I feel bad you're working in a coffee shop that, you know, after reading my book, I got to get you back in the business.

[Janet / Callers]

Yes, you do. And then also, here's. Here's a different take that. You know, how when you watch sports with different people, they. You know, because I played baseball in college, and, like, I just view the game differently, my girlfriend has a theory that when Aaron Judge is chewing bubble gum, he's relaxed. When he's chewing seeds, he's nervous. I don't know the analytics, but maybe that could be the next stat of the day.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, we'll work on that, Mark. Now take care of your customers. Yes, Dylan, that is actually kind of

[Dylan]

the inside information I need when it comes to placing bets. I never even thought of that before, but if Judges smacking on some bubble gum, maybe he's about to hit a home run.

[Dan Patrick]

I saw Altuve homered last night. Ohtani gave up two home runs last night. Didn't get any run support. And then Altuve struck out. He missed a ball so far outside that. The joke on social media was he missed it by an Altuve that if you put Altuve where his bat ends, where the ball ended up outside the strike zone, it would be about 5ft, 7 inches away.

[Todd]
