[Dan Patrick]

you are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. We did it. We made it to a Friday. It's a meat Friday. At that time to play ball. Chicago hot dogs, chili dogs, crab dip, hot dogs, ballpark, nachos, sausage and peppers, peanuts, cracker jacks and mini helmets with ice cream in it.

[Todd]

That's crazy.

[Paulie]

Nobody at all being a kid again.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Who is this?

[Seaton]

The greatest day ever.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but see, I thought we needed a morale booster. This was actually planned because I thought we were going to be nominated for a sports Emmy. And then that was scenes coming over.

[Paulie]

I think a hug is happening.

[Gus]

Yeah,

[Paulie]

They're actually hugging.

[Dan Patrick]

So I had planned this because I thought we were going to be nominated for a sports emmy and then we weren't. And then Dylan goes, should we still do this? I said, yes, yes, let's. But still, we need it. We need it. It's a great day. Lot to recap from last night. We got games coming up later on tonight. Your phone calls always welcome every day. And 877 3DP show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone call. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. By the way, exciting news as well. We lost our partnership with Traeger. I mentioned that last week after 10 years, which is an eternity in this business to have a partner for 10 years. They were a great partner, but they decided that they were moving in a different direction. We respect that. And as soon as I said that, my sales team had three different companies reach out to be the new grilling partner for meat Friday. And we'll let you know about that. Very excited. And oh, no drumroll yet. No, no, no. Next week. I got to make sure that we finalize this. But there was a grilling company and they said, hey, we never thought you guys would be free agents. And we're all in. And there's two other companies that we're talking to. We'll have a meet Friday. A grilling partner coming up next week. Alrighty. Let's see. Pull question. Play of the day. Stat of the day all of that forthcoming the first hour, brought to you by the great folks at Z Kliner. As the back room guys will tell you, since they do most of their work while they're sitting in my 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 Dan Patrick today to find Z Kleiner at a store near you. All right, recapping last night, Purdue over Texas at the buzzer. Iowa, Nebraska. What a strange finish that was. Illinois surprising Houston by 10 and Arizona looking my Arizona Wildcats dominating Arkansas 109 to 88. So we have basketball coming up tonight and I have some point spreads for entertainment purposes only. Duke minus six and a half against St. John's Michigan minus eight and a half against Alabama. Iowa State minus three and a half against Tennessee. And Yukon minus one and a half against Michigan State. Now, looking ahead to the elite eight odds, I was curious. You got Iowa and Illinois another Big Ten matchup. Big Ten's having a really nice tournament and really nice year when you factor in Indiana football. And now you got Purdue advancing. Purdue is getting six and a half against Arizona. Iowa getting six and a half against Illinois. Satan, what's the first hour poll question today?

[Seaton]

Got one here from Paul after last night's games. Which is worse, too many players on the court or not enough players on the court? Wow, that's a tough one.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah, Paulie.

[Paulie]

So Iowa, Nebraska. I was making the comeback. I think there's like 58 seconds left. I was getting ready to inbounds and there's some shuffling of players. And then you see a baseball pass and then the announcers say what happened?

[Dan Patrick]

Here's Fred Hoiberg, the Nebraska head coach. Yes, Marvin, I have the sound too

[Marvin]

of the play by play.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, let's, let's, let's do that. And then we'll have the coach Marcus Lawrence, you put all that. Look at this pass. Oh my goodness. What happened? Well, that was a major defensive breakdown there. Well, they just don't guard full Garris and he's waving for it. How about the vision there? Buked in gel trying to get back in the play. Wait a minute. I think Nebraska only had four defenders on the floor. Stan Van Gundy with the catch there. But here's Fred Hoiberg, Nebraska head coach on having only four players for rink.

[Marvin]

About 58 seconds left. They had that deep ball to Alvaro for the bucket. I think there were four players on the court. Can you say what happened.

[Fred Hoiberg]

I'll address that one. Myron. That, you know, put that one on me. It was a miscommunication. And, you know, I'm the head coach. Put that one on me.

[Dan Patrick]

There's some confusion online about if that's the rules. You're supposed to have five guys on the court. Where were the officials supposed to hold

[Fred Hoiberg]

the ball before the ball was a good question, Robin. I've never been in a situation like that. I know they always count to make sure there's not six. I don't know the rule on that with. With four. But yeah, I mean, again, it was a miscommunication and, you know, unfortunately, it. It happened. But, you know, as far as the rule, I've never been a part of anything like that, so.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. And, you know, I give coach credit. Whether it was his fault or not, he was going to fall on the sword there. You don't want to blame one of your kids. And, you know, it was a great year for Nebraska. You know, when you consider that that is a football school and what they did with basketball and they were a good team from start to finish. And we thought it was going to be a great game. It turned out to be a great game going against Iowa. And it's just tough to end that way because if I said to Nebraska fans at the beginning of the year, hey, you're going to go to the sweet 16, but you're going to lose in dramatic fashion and you're going to lose to Iowa, you're still signing up for that. But this is your hated rival. And give credit to Iowa. They hung in there. They, they just lingered. They just lingered long enough and they end up picking up the win. Alrighty. 8, 7, 7, 3, DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle the DP Show. Boy, the Big Ten is making a statement. When you consider football and basketball, you. You got a couple of teams that can advance. Couple more Big Ten teams that can advance tonight. Michigan State, Michigan. If I'm Greg Sankey in the SEC and I'm watching this and I go, okay, all right, you're kind of piling on here a little bit. You know, we can take Michigan or Ohio State winning a national title in football. Now Indiana. And then we got basketball, basketball dominating. And a couple SEC teams bounced. Certainly with Arkansas, it was a great run for John Calipari. But here's the hard part. You know, you're not going to have Acuff back next year. He's going into the NBA. That's the Hard part, because John has never had a problem recruiting. And we've talked about this, I've talked about this with him. Can you get players who are going to stay for two years or three years? Because I think the wave of the future is these kids are going to make enough money to stay in college that they're not going to leave early and maybe be a second round pick or not get drafted. They might stay if they can make $500,000 or somebody makes $750,000 and they'll stay an extra year or maybe they'll stay for two extra years. Your mid majors are going to lose their players, you know, their star player that might appear on the radar. Then all of a sudden, you know, these big schools will swoop in and pick them up. You know, John still needs to be able to get that core that can be there the next year. You want to have Acuff. He's a tremendous player and he was wonderful throughout the tournament. The last tournament run I can remember for somebody like this Steph Curry at Davidson, I think step scored 100 points in the tournament. Acuff had around 90. I think he surpasses Ion Williamson's debut with the NCAA tournament. But he's a great coach when you think about it. And look what's happening so far with March Madness. I mean, Tom Izzo, one of the greatest coaches of all time, Pitino, you can make an argument there's no greater coach strategy wise and you know, X's and O's than Rick Pitino. And that's, that's incorporating NBA and college. His ability to do what he does, every place that he goes is really remarkable, unmatched. But you have, you know, Danny Hurley's got a couple of titles there, there, there are a lot of high end coaches who have gotten this far. And the tricky part is North Carolina is sitting there open and you wonder what coach in the NCAA tournament might end up at North Carolina. Because it feels like, and I was told this yesterday, North Carolina wants to get out ahead of the Kansas situation because if Bill Self steps down, who could then fill that void? And North Carolina knows you're kind of on the clock. You want to make sure you get your guy. You want to get your guy before that opening happens at Kansas. By the way, Bill Murray's son, Luke Murray, he's the offensive coordinator basically for UConn basketball. He's going to take the BC job. Now that's e me because yesterday I had Dan Hurley on and I should have asked him, are you prepared to lose Luke. And you know, it was rumored there I got caught up and ran out of time. And when we got done, I made it. I should have asked him about that because, you know, you have this odd, you know, this tournament run and you're going to lose a really, really, really valuable person on that coaching staff. It's inevitable. But then, you know, I got the heads up that he was probably taking the BC job and I didn't ask. So that. That's on me. Yeah.

[Seaton]

Seaton Dan Hurley. Had you asked him, probably would have started rubbing his eyes and say, I did.

[Dan Patrick]

I just, you know, know. And they just. I, you know, I gotta deal with what I could deal with.

[Seaton]

I can only control so much.

[Dan Patrick]

You're right.

[Seaton]

Father wouldn't have allowed that.

[Dan Patrick]

I know, but I should have still asked the question. Even though I probably know what his answer would be. I. I still should. But he's gonna stay on with Yukon. Oh, look at Marvin all decked out in his. His husky gear.

[Marvin]

Come on. You gotta stay ready. So you have to get ready.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Marvin]

Come on.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, you're ready.

[Marvin]

Game day.

[Dan Patrick]

You're always ready.

[Marvin]

Come on.

[Dan Patrick]

Always. Okay.

[Marvin]

I'm a die in this.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Marvin]

Bury me right in this.

[Dan Patrick]

Really?

[Marvin]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Like that's a verbal commitment.

[Marvin]

I'mma sign a letter of intent too.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. All right. So I'll bury you in that.

[Marvin]

Oh, absolutely.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Gus]

All right.

[Marvin]

No questions. Is Rip Hamilton.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, it's a Rip Hamilton jersey.

[Marvin]

Come on now.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Marvin]

Come on. Came out the womb ready for Yukon.

[Seaton]

It's vintage.

[Dan Patrick]

Nice pull up jumper. 15 footer by Rip Hamilton.

[Marvin]

Come off the screen.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, that's true. Set me a pick. I'll hit the 15 footer. Yes. Paul.

[Paulie]

Would it be more cool to be kid El Amine a little more niche

[Marvin]

Jersey at Champ Sports in 1998, they weren't selling Khalid Elamine jersey. This was 49 in 1998.

[Dan Patrick]

Khalid Ellamy. Wasn't he a second round pick of the Bulls?

[Paulie]

Yeah, he played like six months for the Bulls.

[Dan Patrick]

He did.

[Marvin]

And he was built like Kirby Puckett.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Marvin]

Undersized and overweight. But he got busy.

[Dan Patrick]

And he was a really good college player. He was a fun college player. Got busy off the court as well. Then he get pulled over.

[Paulie]

Yeah, A long time ago.

[Dan Patrick]

Back when you weren't allowed to get pulled over with. I. I met a guy yesterday and he was showing off his car. Beautiful BMW station wagon. And I said, man, this really nice. He said, yeah, there's only one problem. It smells like pot. I said, well, don't smoke in the car. He goes, no, I, I, we rent this out and somebody smoked pot, so it's kind of absorbed in the leather. They lease it out. And I go, if you get pulled over, you're in trouble, like it reeked. And the guy go, I don't smoke, but I drive this. I've been driving this car for three weeks now. I'm like, does it get, you know, the fine Corinthian leather like it just gets absorbed there in the carpet? I don't know how much there's smoke in there, but somebody maybe got hot boxed in that. I don't know how I got from a to Kalita Khalid El Amin to this. Once again, this show non scripted. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paul, I, I was wondering one thing about college basketball. Do you think schools that take these one and dones would prefer not to take the one and dones and have guys that stay? Like you asked Danny Hurley yesterday, do you want these big names or you want guys for years and years? He said years and years. Like Iowa's got a bunch of 21 year olds on the roster.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, Purdue, same way. Yeah. Like you get that experience and I still believe in that. It's nice to have that freshman and, but we've seen, you gotta have other players. You can have the freshman. I gotta have, you know, some juniors and seniors in there because of these moments right now. March Madness. Because we've seen, you know, these freshmen and they're only there for six months and they may be approaching it that way, that it's not the end of the world if they don't win a title because they're going to the NBA. It's the end of the world to these Purdue kids who are going to, I've been there three or four years. Or the Nebraska players who have been there three or four years.

[Marvin]

Yes, Marv, it's a fine line. You want a really good college player, but you don't want an NBA prospect. You don't want somebody that man, he can go in the lottery. You want somebody, you know what if he got out, he'd be a late first at best, maybe second rounder.

[Dan Patrick]

But you know what happens though, Marvin, is these kids have so many people talking to them. It's like, man, you're gonna, you're gonna be a first round draft pick. You know, at worst you'll be a second round draft pick. So they believe that. And then you'll find a lot of these guys and it's only two rounds. I mean, the draft used to be like eight or nine rounds. But now, you know, you got to decide, am I really ready to go or do I need another year? Hey, I can stay another year because they're going to pay me X amount of money. Yes, Mark.

[Marvin]

Yeah. The worst part is watching a kid that was projected to go lottery. And look, there's 30 kids that were being told, hey, you're a lottery pick. There's only 14 lottery picks. So after pick 14, it's like, oh, my gosh, what am I doing here? I could have been back in school making money. Especially now with Nil.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, we'll take a break. It's a meet Friday. Morale is high. We'll get to your phone calls. Coming up, we'll settle on our poll question as well. Robbie Hummel, who has done an unbelievable job as an analyst for March Madness, he was there on the call with the Iowa Nebraska finish. And Robbie will join us a little bit later on. But your phone calls, we'll get to those. Settle on our poll question. We're back after this on the Dan Patrick Show.

It's true, it's real. And it's here right now. EVs are as easy to charge as your phone, and they're perfect for everyday life. You can drive daily with confidence everywhere you go, and most Americans drive about 40 miles a day. And most EVs are equipped with 200 to 400 miles of range EVs. They have fewer parts, fewer repairs, fewer headaches. And with hundreds of new and used EV models available today, there's an EV to fit every lifestyle and every budget. Trust me, the way forward is electric.

[Dan Patrick]

Learn [e-mail] 8773 DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP show settled in yesterday, getting ready to watch the Pirates and Paul Schemes against the Mets, and that ended quickly. As far as Paul schemes, he didn't get helped out by his team, certainly his center fielder. He gave up five earned in 2/3 of an inning as the Pirates got roughed up 11 7. That's the shortest outing by reigning Cy Young winner and his team season opener in baseball history. No, not yet. Previous Low was 3 innings shared by Tim Linsicum and Clayton Kershaw. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. Okay, this is what I don't understand. It felt like that it should have been an error on o' Neill Cruz, the center fielder for the Pirates. But okay doesn't get his glove on the ball. He does start, he breaks in and then it goes over his head. Now India converted shortstop that now he's playing. He was a 67 shortstop, so now he's in the outfield. But Skin gets tagged with all of these earned run. I think his ERA is now 67.5.

[Paulie]

That's not going to hold.

[Dan Patrick]

I think it'll go down from there. But he's on pace. But I'm watching and I'm going. Well, can't you have an error in judgment? Can can the official score say that's an error in judgment by this center fielder? Skiings shouldn't been, should not have been tagged with all those runs.

[Paulie]

Yes, Paul, you guys play baseball? It always felt like an error was a play that is routine, gets blown by the fielder, becomes an error. You know, o' Neill Cruz goes in and goes out. And if you look at it, I think he would have caught the ball handily if he went out. According to mlb, misjudgment is not an error. So it's a triple. An error is in physical misplay, and there's not physical misplay on that play.

[Dan Patrick]

I got a problem with that.

[Paulie]

It looked like an error.

[Dan Patrick]

It's an error in judgment. You should. I got a lot of things to ask the commissioner whenever he joins us again. I'm going to ask him about error in judgment. By the way, yesterday we were asked about our favorite ballpark food, and mine's really simple. I'm not a nacho guy. I'm not. It's basically a hot dog and a beer. Like, if you happen to grill the hot dog, throw a little mustard on there. Give me a beer. Draft beer. I'm good. I am good to go. You know, here's something I learned yesterday that a lot of stadiums don't like doing draft beer because there's so much, you know, about 30% that is wasted just from people trying to pour the beers, not pouring them correctly, and therefore they don't like to do draft beer. But I didn't realize that. I would think you would have people who be experienced enough. But no, there's. There's a lot of spillage there. Is that. That. That's what they would say. But, yeah, just give me a hot dog. I'm good. Some mustard. I don't need anything else there. Todd, what did you. Well, you love everything at a. At a ballpark.

[Todd]

I narrowed it down to hot dogs and nachos. I also mentioned something that wasn't part of an actual baseball stadium. I went with concessions. I went off the board with something I had at a basketball game once I thought was amazing, but that was

[Dan Patrick]

at the Timberwolves game. Mavericks.

[Todd]

Yes. I had no idea that you can get Mac and cheese with slices of hot dog in the cup of Mac and cheese. I was like, in heaven. I'm like, this is a thing. I got my Mountain Dew and I got my Mac and cheese with hot dog in it. Went to my seat.

[Dan Patrick]

What about you, Marvin? Ballpark food.

[Marvin]

So I went to camden yards about 10 years ago, had the crab cakes there. My one seed. I know it's kind of a cheat code, but from then on out, I was like, anytime I go there. Crab cakes.

[Dan Patrick]

I remember going to Pac Bell. Now Oracle Park. And they had sushi and they had craft beer. This is when craft beer just came out. And I was like, they might have had Red Hook on tap. And I had sushi. Not your normal experience at the ballpark.

[Seaton]

Of a IPA and a whatever role.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, I'll have a spicy tuna roll,

[Seaton]

please, and something a little hoppy.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, give me the Barry Bones roll, please. People up in arms about Netflix. I was listening Mad Dog yesterday on his Mad Dog radio. Oh, was he? He was apoplectic of now. Okay, I don't want Jameis Winston involved in the broadcast. I get it. It's a one off. You know, maybe they're gearing up for, you know, when, when he retires, he'll be an NFL analyst. He's, you know, quirky and maybe he'll be successful as an analyst. But you start to look at everything. You know, Barry Bonds was there, of course, and everybody's like, oh, you want to hear from Barry Bonds? I don't. I mean, you know, what, what's he going to tell you? Now, the thing is that when he said I was a great teammate and I said to myself, as I'm listening to this, I said, no, no, you weren't. Because Barry told me that he wouldn't share information with his teammates because as he said to me, they could be on another team next year. So not a good team. And if you're going to have Bonds on, you don't need to ask about steroids. But I would certainly want to ask about Jeff, Kentucky, his teammate who's going into the hall of Fame, and Barry's not. But I, I looked at Netflix as, okay, they're going to try really, really hard. And they did. And they brought out all the shiny objects that they have and comedians and wrestlers and look at all the things that we do. I get it. And they're only going to do two more events affiliated with Major League Baseball. And they weren't equipped for this, you know, getting the right people to do it, who do this on a regular. That's why NBC, NBC gets the best schedule in football, because they have the best technical people and then you have the best broadcasters there. So it's no great surprise there, they do it better than anybody. But Netflix, this isn't what they do well, but they wanted to give their best show you what we can do. And then down the road, Netflix is going to be involved in more sports. But like, I didn't, I don't want a standalone game on Netflix, but I, I do like a standalone opening day But I know it. It didn't. It didn't ruin my day. Mad Dog, who's, you know, the gatekeeper for Major League baseball, going crazy. I'm going to Chris. It's okay. It's just one game. And then he's. He's ranting about the canoes out in McCovey Cove. Like, this is. This is. We're done with this. This used to be a thing like 10, 15 years ago. I'm like, it's okay. You know who has been out there in the canoe? Buddha in San Francisco. Buddha joins us now. Good morning, Buddha. What's on your mind? Nobody.

[Buddha]

Feliz dia de los Garden, seniors. Caladia says Super Bowl. Vamonos, Fritzi. Bonjour de France. Champagne from the campaign. DP, you got to admit, calling in at 2pm instead of 6am is nice. Total game changer, man. This is awesome.

[Dan Patrick]

Wait, where are you in France right now?

[Buddha]

I'm in Paris and I'm waiting to get on a train to go down to Lyon, and I'm going to go to Chateauneuf du Pape and I'm going to get on a cruise liner, go down the Rhone river and learn some things and do some site visits and get ready for your great picking trip, Dan, you know what I mean?

[Dan Patrick]

When I retire, you're going to hook me up. I'm going great picking and in south of France.

[Buddha]

I got you. But I wanted to call Indian because you guys are talking about the Bo Jackson thing this week.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Buddha]

And to all. To all the people that didn't listen, his welcome moment to the NFL after suffering his concussion and going to the wrong sideline. And then Steve Berline getting Bo back on track as he said, quote unquote with this concussion question. Bo, when's payday?

[Dan Patrick]

Monday.

[Buddha]

And it was like, oh, my God, it was like giving him a smelling salts, man. But lastly, Dan, as far as the Emmys go, this show is not made, as someone mentioned to you yesterday. And to the Dan adds to the BRGs and to DP Nation. Win or loose, we celebrate, as the shirt says, and the greatness of the DP show. It's been a standard for 20 years, and we all choose to tune in. Watch, listen daily. So Emmy schmammy, dp. And I'll say it for the room. Who's got it better than us?

[Dan Patrick]

Nobody. Thank you, Buddha. Have fun over there. Buddha lives a pretty good life, though. He's single and traveling around over in France. Gonna check out some champagne, bring it back to his restaurant. Gus in LA hi, Gus.

[Gus]

Good morning, Mr. Perry, Mr. Mr. Patrick.

[Dan Patrick]

It's too early. Too early.

[Gus]

Got home from the game. Anyways, hope you boys are having a great day, man. Great kickoff to the weekend, boys. I was at opening day yesterday. I've never experienced an opening day, but it was arguably the greatest one. Everybody was there. Got Will Ferrell driving in a Cadillac. Mole Rider on the way in. That was great to see. It was. I told this to Tyler and I wasn't sure if I was gonna mention it or not, but you know what? I'm a proud godfather today because my godson, you know, he discovered baseball last year. And my godson's autistic and he's not full spectrum, but he is on the spectrum to where he doesn't really like crowds. So we were kind of nervous. But he loved the Dodgers, so it was, you know, 65,000. Packed everything yesterday. And to watch him to where he will not like crowds of team people go nuts for every single run the Dodgers scored yesterday. He was high fiving strangers. He is jumping up and down. He's like, he's counting down the Dodger dogs that he's eating. He was loving everything. He was patriotic when the jets flew over. Greatest day of my life, boys, thus far. To watch my godson just become a different person yesterday. And that was one of the best things to see, boys.

[Dan Patrick]

Awesome. Thank you, Gus. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend. Ryan in Detroit. Hi, Ryan. What's on your mind today?

[Gus]

Hey, good morning, Dan. A couple things for you. One, well, first, those first two games last night were awesome. And with Illinois in the. The later game, I just, I wonder if they're on to something new with their recruiting strategy, getting all those Eastern European folks. And then the second thing I had was I just couldn't watch the games last night with Kevin Harlan without thinking about Fritzi.

[Buddha]

It's crazy,

[Marvin]

though.

[Dan Patrick]

Razorbacks want to talk about it on 19 3. Run for the Wildcats. This is college basketball's March Madness on true tv.

[Gus]

Thank you.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you. Todd, your face gets all red when you do your Kevin Harlem.

[Todd]

I got a little lightheaded, too.

[Gus]

Oh.

[Dan Patrick]

As soon as I, I, you know, I'm waiting for the game to come on and then, boom. Kevin Harlan sets the scene for where they are. And I did think of you that. Are you imitating Kevin Harlan while Kevin Harlan is getting us ready for that?

[Todd]

I did do that a few times, and the wife doesn't like it very much. He's like, kid, you just watch the game and sit still, but you do

[Dan Patrick]

the theme music as well. A 15th rerun for the Hawkeyes. This is March Madness on TBS. Russell in Philly. Good morning, Russell. What's on your mind today?

[Gus]

Morning, dan. Dan at 6. 1, 2, 17. So I'm watching the Purdue game last night. Amazing game. But those big guys were giving me a lot of Draymond green fields. They were pretty dirty, pretty scrappy in there. And secondly, shout out to my. Phillies swore. Bomb got a two day, two run shot. Bomer got three run shot open today. One, though. Let's go. Go Birds.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, did you see the story of the. Is it the Phillies player, Alex Baum, he's suing his parents. They mismanaged his money and he's suing them. So the Phillies third baseman. Let me see if I can. Let's see. So he's suing. Well, this is going to be an awkward Thanksgiving. He is suing his parents for $3 million, alleging that they funneled away Muse his money while they were managing that. And the lawsuit reportedly was filed Wednesday. And let's see, he opened up with a homer yesterday. Let me see what else. Anything else in here that stands out?

[Paulie]

Yeah, Bomb and his attorney are saying that the parents froze him out of four different accounts. Of course, the parents are saying that they. He has full access to the accounts. He's also saying they took. Converted a sizable amount of his money from those accounts for their own use.

[Seaton]

Yeah, I think when you've made 19 and you're wondering where three are, that's. That's a lot of money. I mean, $3 million is a lot of money anytime. Yes, but when it's, you know, 15, 20% of what you've made, that's significant.

[Dan Patrick]

Allegedly. They have indicated they were billing their son for the management of his affairs at the rate of $50 per hour. They are listed as the directors of the Alex Baum foundation on his website.

[Paulie]

They just got a new boat. That foundation, by the way, all signs

[Seaton]

that they know what they're doing with that money and know how to take it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Wow. How does that work? When next time you see him. Hey, Mom. Hey, dad. Or maybe you don't see them anymore. Yes, Todd, I'd be balmed out if my parents did that to me. That's just not a nice thing to do. Speaking of bombing.

[Paulie]

Yes, yes, Paulie, you always see these videos. There's one that's out there where a guy made the bigs and he got drafted and he got like a $5 million bonus and his parents opened up this Letter that he paid off their mortgage. And the parents are crying. Thanks for all those times you took me to practice and travel teams. Well, these parents just said, let's bypass that. You're going to pay for our house and we'll tell you about it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Seaton]

There's a huge difference between saying, mom and dad, I paid off your mortgage or mom and dad saying, oh, you paid off our mortgage.

[Dan Patrick]

Huge difference.

[Paulie]

Just trying to help you out.

[Seaton]

By the way, you paid off our mortgage. Thank you. Shouldn't I.

[Dan Patrick]

They sent a letter to their son saying, hey, look at what you did for us.

[Seaton]

Just wanted to say thank you.

[Paulie]

Yes, Paul, I, I do think it's. It's the idea of having an. A relative manager, money, that seems just like a bad decision in life. You would think that who can I trust more than a relative? But if things go well, you could fire your business manager.

[Dan Patrick]

You never hire somebody you can't fire.

[Seaton]

Right?

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Seaton]

Accurate.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you. Let's take a break here. What do you start yelling at your

[Todd]

kid who's going to be 30 in August?

[Dan Patrick]

1 for 4 with a walk.

[Todd]

Like, where's the money coming from to pay one for four in a walk?

[Dan Patrick]

And an error. I'm.

[Todd]

I'm going to be 30. I gave you plenty of money. You stole so much of my money. You got to stop striking out.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you.

[Todd]

Like he's a little, like he's a little.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, I got it.

[Todd]

30 year old man on a professional base, I.

[Dan Patrick]

The bit is over.

[Seaton]

Is it over?

[Dan Patrick]

It is over. Yeah. This bit is over. Okay.

[Todd]

Why were you trying to bunt?

[Dan Patrick]

All right, bring the bat.

[Todd]

I'm not nine anymore.

[Seaton]

Which is worth speaking to an adult that way or a nine year old that way.

[Dan Patrick]

You're gonna bunt or speaking to Todd that way. And I get both ends of that right.

[Todd]

There's gonna be 30 on August 3rd.

[Dan Patrick]

[Dan Patrick]

What role do the officials play in saying to Nebraska, you only have four players?

[Paulie]

Paulie, I got a hold of a college and active college ref. And if the college ref sees that there's only four players on the court, he is not supposed to warn the team. That would be helping one team over the other. So from a competitive standpoint, you wouldn't warn the team. Now, if they had six players on the court, you would ding them and give them a technical. But if a team has four players on the court, the ref has no responsibility to warn anybody officially.

[Dan Patrick]

And Paulie sends out a text right as it's happening. It's like, what are they doing? There's only four players. And then all of a sudden you realize Nebraska can't do anything because the player who's going to come in can't come in. He tries to, you know, the official has to bring you in like a maitre d. And then all of a sudden you got Iowa going. Wait a minute.

[Todd]

What's.

[Dan Patrick]

What is the. Throw it in. Throw it in.

[Todd]

Yes, Todd, but an official can do that. I know it's not made it like in football. Don't we see that all the time? If someone's up on the line, like receiver, offensive lineman, whatever, if they have an opportunity to give them a little wave, like, you know, step back a little bit, they're not obligated. Right?

[Dan Patrick]

But they don't warn you.

[Gus]

You.

[Dan Patrick]

You can check with them. But the official doesn't say if CD Lamb is lined up and he's off sides, they don't go, hey, CD Back up.

[Todd]

So the player initiates that with the official and ask, am I good? Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

But I don't even know if officials acknowledge that. It's weird when I watch that when you have, you know, a wide receiver, he's looking over and he's checking with the official. I don't know if I've seen the official go, hey, thumbs up, or you're okay. Maybe it's a head nod. But in that you know that instance, they will not tell you unless you ask. You cannot give them a heads up and warn them. Jay in Delaware. Good morning, Jay. What's on your mind today?

[Buddha]

Hey, Dan. Always know it's the weekend when I Hear Gus and Buddha's voices on the line.

[Dan Patrick]

Hold on for a second, Jay. I gotta make sure that door to the kitchen stays closed because I'm smelling those hot dogs and I'm not. I'm not gonna make it till the end of the show. Yeah, Paulie.

[Paulie]

Dan, you don't have to make it to the end.

[Dan Patrick]

I know you're the boss, but if I can't make it, then everybody else can't make it.

[Paulie]

Because just like a baseball game, you don't wait till the ninth inning to have your first hot dog or sausage. Yeah, this could be an anomaly day.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, Seaton's already said, hey, I'm blown through the stop sign. I might have five hot dogs today.

[Seaton]

Respectfully, Dan. I'm making it another three minutes and then I'm having hot.

[Dan Patrick]

So at the top of the hour.

[Seaton]

Correct. As soon as the show. This segment is over, I'm putting my headphones down and I'm going to get a hot dog.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay?

[Seaton]

And have. Respectfully, I'm not.

[Dan Patrick]

Look, this is all about morale today. We had a rough week. If you want to have a mid show hot dog, You can have mid show hot dog day. Yes. Now, now, I can't do mid show ice cream helmets. Can't do that.

[Seaton]

I can wait on that, Todd.

[Todd]

That's fine. But what about top of the 11 o' clock hour? Top of the third hour?

[Dan Patrick]

You got to wait till the end of the show. All right, you can have one dog per hour. Okay, one dog per hour.

[Seaton]

It's like fasting right now.

[Todd]

How about on the half hour? 10 o', clock, hot dog, 10:30, ice cream, 11 o'. Clock, back to the hospital.

[Dan Patrick]

No, the ice cream helmets have to wait until the very end.

[Seaton]

What's our nacho status?

[Dan Patrick]

The nacho. Nachos. Last hour of the program, Sausage and peppers.

[Seaton]

I mean, you can't wait on that. Come on. Maybe hour, hour three, top of hour three, sausage and peppers. Got to do it.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, how about this? Top of. Okay, hot dog coming up at top of this hour. Top of next hour, sausage and peppers greatest. 11:30 Eastern Time, crab dip. And then we can have ice cream in our helmets at the end of the show.

[Marvin]

Yeah, good plan.

[Gus]

Good plan.

[Paulie]

It's just good management.

[Dan Patrick]

Morale boost.

[Paulie]

All that is. That's just good management.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you. Thank you. Come up with once again. I had this planned. I thought, you know what? We're going to get nominated for a sports Emmy and Friday we're going to have a big blowout and we're going to have all of our, you know, ballpark foods that we love.

[Seaton]

This is the year. Seventh time's the charm. Lucky number seven. This is the one. We're doing it.

[Dan Patrick]

And then, guess Dylan is shopping for all of this. He's getting our miniature helmets. Like he got you a Yankee helmet, Paulie. A Cubs helmet. Marvin. A Blue Jays helmet. Todd and Astros helmet, Mia Red's helmet. And I said, no, you know, and then he goes, since we didn't get nominated, should we have this? I go, no, we need this now more than ever, I think. But he was buying all this stuff earlier in the week. Alrighty. One hour in the books. Two more to go. We always have five men on the floor with this team. Fritzi, Satan, Marvin.

[Todd]

That was very clever.
