Come on in, Dan and the Dan at Stan Patrick Show. NBA Finals tonight. And the Pacers are a historical underdog against the Thunder, not just in game one where they're nine and a half point underdog. Started out at nine, but the entire series. We'll talk about that coming up. The Oilers in overtime, they go up 10 in the Stanley Cup Final against Florida. They're down three goals. And I went, florida will not give up the lead. They will not lose this. They're Florida. They don't do this. They're the defending champs. They got all this experience. But you can't stop Leon Draisaitl. You can only hope to contain him. And it sounded like this last night out of the point, who showed? Regent Hopkins with it. Here's McDavid Aute. 1. It's great. It was great. But it went, you know, they're down three. And then I went, oh, boy, it was three one. And then I go, oh boy, they, they're not going to come back from this. And because I just thought, you know, Florida, that's they're built like this. They do the, they come, they have the comebacks. But give credit to Edmonton, that was a lot of fun. And on your home ice and you're down three one. And you start to go, oh, no, here we go again. All right, 8, 7, 7, 3. DP show email address dp@danpatrick.com Twitter handle @dpshow by the way, it was Connor McDavid to Leon Draisaitl. We only mentioned Leon Draisaitl when we get to the postseason. It's one of the three best hockey players in the world, so I'm told. And Connor McDavid is the best hockey player, maybe the most talented hockey player of all time, or so I'm told. Yeah, Paul, it's such a funny thing that people don't see during our commercial breaks. You walk around here any time of year. It could be summer, it could be winter. And you just go, draisaitl. And you scream it like there's a goal happening. And Then Seaton has the Leon draisaitl goal scoring voice. Down it again. Not an actual call. Not an actual call. It's pretty close though. LEON Dr. Yeah. All right. So hockey last night. You got basketball coming up tonight. My Rockies have won three in a row. I said to Fritzi, I said, reach out to the Rockies play by play voice, Jack Corrigan. Let me see if we could get Jack on. Now this is before they went on the three game winning streak. And I'm like, have him on. What's it like to go to the ballpark knowing that your team is probably going to lose and you don't want to bring your work home? But how do you not bring your work home if you're the voice of the Colorado Rockies? Well, they've won three in a row, so I guess I'm their good luck charm because Jack Corrigan, the Colorado Rockies play by play voice, will join us. Well, so check in with Tim McMahon covering the NBA Finals for the mothership. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you. Downloading the app, you can watch this program all three hours.

For entertainment purposes, I mentioned the over or the point spread was Pacers are getting nine and a half. Shay Gilges, Alexander, over, under. Marvin will start with you. 31 and a half. All right. Paul 29 and a half. Todd 28 and a half. Seaton 32.5. 33 and a half. 33 and a half. And in case you're wondering, Tyrese Halliburton, over, under. Paul, 25 and a half. Marvin 23 and a half. Todd 26 and a half. 17 and 1 half. Tyrese Halliburton is not their score. That's Pascal Siakam and mvp. Yeah. Tyrese Halliburton, by the way, didn't make the all star team, but he did make the Olympic team. You know when you talk about star power and you're like, okay, you know, sga, sga, of course, MVP and scoring champ and all the different things that have gone to him this season. But Tyrese Halliburton, who had a great month and a half, he was not an all star this year. The Commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver was on Fox Sports 1. And he brought up what we've been bringing up for quite some time now. And I think they're going to do it, the All Star Game format next year as part of our new media deals, the All Star Game returns to NBC where it was when we were younger. And it so happens that next season will be smack in the middle of the Winter Olympics. So, in fact, the game will be on NBC and the very day we're on, there'll be the lead in will be Winter Olympic events. And then coming out of the All Star Game, which is not going to be in the afternoon, instead of the evening, there'll be more Olympic events. So what better time to feature some form of USA against the world? I'm not exactly sure what the format will be yet. I mean, obviously paid a lot of attention to what the NHL did. But also, you know, going back, you know, last summer, our Olympic competition was a huge success. Yeah. And I think the commissioner admitted that he saw the, you know, the four nations with hockey and the excitement that you had with that. And, you know, United States against Canada certainly helps, but this is what I've been pushing for. What else are you going to do here? I don't want it to devolve into what, you know, the NFL's All Star Game is, you know, the Pro Bowl. I don't, I don't want that. I do like the skills competition, some of the skills competition, but let's try it. Let's just see. You're going to get at least some kind of competitiveness. You'll have certainly pride. And that's all we care about. When you watch, you want to know if they care, then I'll care. But if you watch and you realize they don't care, then I don't. But this, I'd be curious just, just to see how the rest of the world reacts. Now, Team USA might not get caught up in this until they lose the All Star Game and then it might get a little momentum, but Team USA would probably, well, they will have a deeper roster, but they won't have the best players because the best players are not from the United States. The starting five from around the world will be better than the starting five from Team usa. But I want to see what happens as the game goes along, because that's when you start to get the competitive. And you know, this is down through history where you get guys that maybe didn't care as much, but then they cared because the game was on the line. Hopefully you have that and I don't know what plan B is going to be to spice up the All Star Game, but to me it's a glorified layup line. And I'd like to see just a little bit, I'd like to see a little bit of competition, that's all. Yeah, Marvin, but pride from who? Like, I'm not sure if Joker and Luca care whether the world beats oh, I Us. Oh, I do they care about Slovenia winning. Well, but you're representing your com. Your country. Are they? Yeah, I think so. I mean, you're. It's us against the world and you know, or it's. It's them against the United States. I mean, I think. And it says a lot of where basketball has come, where it was around the world to where it is now. You could go toe to toe with the best players and that says something about what the Dream Team and the impact that the Dream Team had. So, yeah, I think there's pride because remember all those teams that got slaughtered by the Dream Team and those countries said, okay, now we know what we have to do. We've. We've measured ourselves against the best, best team ever assembled. Now we can go back and they have these academies now. It was important. It's important to all these countries. And I would think, you know, Canadian basketball, we don't, we never talked about Canada with basketball. But Vince gets there. I mean, you have Steve Nash there. All of a sudden you get a trickle down effect. And we don't look at Canada and say, well, he's a basketball player from Canada. I mean, sga, he went to Kentucky. Nobody goes, oh, he's from Canada. Yeah, yeah, see, yeah, I kind of, I, I see what Marvin is saying that, you know, I don't know that. I think that Americans view it, everything as America and the rest of the world, but I don't know that the rest of the world just sees themselves as one big thing that's not American, you know, So I think that there's a lot more pride if you take a Serbian guy. I think being Serbian means a hell of a lot to him, you know, and, and representing Serbia means a lot more than just being lumped in with the rest of the guys from the world. But if they're not forced to play against the Team usa. But if, if that's, that's the way the format's going to be, then I think there's going to be that pride of what our, how far our countries have come, how far the world has come, at least that's What I'm hoping for, you know, maybe it. Maybe it's just me rooting for something to happen. Something interesting. Yes. Just please, just please care. They're going to love this. You're going to love this. You're going to have fun. Hey, Luca, Luca, listen. You're going to care. Luca, put the beer down. Okay? Now I want you to really care about this. Put the hookah down. Yes. Marvin. The pressure is going to be on those second tier guys from the international squad that make the team that didn't deserve to be all Stars. They have to play hard because Adam Silver is going to be like, why are you even. Those guys are going to play hard. They. They better and they better play well. Team USA's got the pressure on them because if Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum come in as a second string guy and tear Josh Giddy apart, like, oh, my gosh, yes, Paul, do we get Shea, Gilus Alexander? Yes. Okay, so it's Canada. Okay, so it's North America versus international. No, it's the United States versus the world. Yeah. So we don't get. That's why I asked. I said, do we get Shake Il just Alexander or do they get it? Oh, no, they do. Okay. Yeah, yeah, it's Canada. We don't. We haven't gotten Canada yet. Because he went to high school. Yeah. Two years of high school in America doesn't matter. I thought maybe we could acquire Shay Gilgis. No, no, no, no, no. It's. It's the United States and then everybody else. He went to college in the United States. That doesn't matter. He's from Canada. Steve Nash wants to come out of retirement. He can play for team Canada. They might need him. Yeah, Leo Routens, Remember Leo was, Wasn't he the first guy it felt like, from Canada that we're like, hey, Leo Routens, man, from Canada, played at Syracuse. Was his number 13? I think so. Well, that's so random. Leo Routens. And he's one of the first great shooting big men. And you're right about that. Yeah. So. But I do like that. I, I do like that, you know, here we have the possibility of something to watch. I mean, I wouldn't watch normally, but this I'll watch. Adam Silver also talked about comparing the NBA Finals to the Super Bowl. That's one thing I really admire about the NFL. I mean, if we were going into a Super bowl and it was packers against Steelers, you guys would be celebrating that. Nobody would. Those would be storied franchises. People wouldn't be talking about the fact that Pittsburgh is a small market. So I'm happy whatever team ends up in the finals. But it's been intentional from our standpoint to create a system, a collective bargaining agreement that allows more teams to compete. And just by way of background, you know, we're going to have to go through a process of getting to the point where people are accustomed to tuning into the Finals because the two teams that deserve to be there and it's the best basketball. Similar to. Again with the Super Bowl. If I asked somebody if they were going to watch the super bowl, they wouldn't say who's playing. It's a national holiday. Well, also, what hurts that analogy is if it was one game, okay, now there would be greater interest because you don't know how it goes for a couple of weeks. Super bowl is one game. One and done. That's why we love March Madness. It's one and done with the, you know, World Series or playoffs. Best of seven. The NBA Finals. Best of seven. If you had one game tonight, I'd love to know what that audience. What. What would be the estimated audience, no matter who's playing. But if you're watching and you know the championship will be decided. So that. And, and plus, you know, NFL fans, your fandom is passed down from generation to generation to generation. So if you say Pittsburgh and Green Bay, well, how far does that go back with your fandom? OkC. How far does that go back? Not too far. I don't think Seattle Supersonic fans are going, man, let me tell you the days about. Okay, I mean, nobody cares. Pacers, great basketball tradition with the aba. But you know, football's just different because it's one game a week. It's so important. One game. And then you get six days to talk about it, then one game and everybody plays every game. And then you're going to play for a championship and it's one game. That's why it's a national holiday. Yes, Marv. And in the NFL, the Super bowl matchup isn't important, no matter who it is we're watching. Yeah. Like with the MLB last year. Yankees, Dodgers. Oh, thank goodness. Yeah. Because I couldn't do Royals, Giants. Yeah. So it doesn't matter in the NFL what the matchup is, especially with two story franchises like Green Bay and Pittsburgh. Yeah. And that's the magic of the NFL. That's the power of the NFL. We watch, you know, Thursday night, it could be Carolina against Tampa Bay. All right. If you can figure out how to find Amazon, then you'll watch that. But, you know, football's different. We gamble on football. There's fantasy with football, and that's. It's just. It's a behemoth. All right, we'll take a break here. Todd has a song about these small market teams. Okay. I didn't know anybody asked for that. Nobody asked for that. Oh, they didn't. They did not. Okay. Not at all. I just wanted to make sure that. Did somebody on the other side say, todd, why don't you whip up a small market song for the two teams in the NBA final? That is something that just did not happen. Okay. All right, so how about we take a break? Is that. Yeah, we probably should. Okay. But you can get ready. You probably stay in break while I'm singing the song. We should be a break. Have you rehearsed this song? No, I just read it to myself a couple times. I wrote it yesterday, like before the show. So I wasn't sure if you're gonna do it yesterday or today. That's what I love about you. No preparation. Do you need music? Do you need anything that we can. You know, Marvin's got to do a little work here. For the average person, music would be an enhancement and help the singer. I've proven that. It actually hurts me in some way that I can't stay with the tune. Okay. Just mess. Well, that is too. That is true. You can't carry it too, but. All right, so when we come back, the NBA finals small market team song that you didn't know you needed. We're back after this on the Dan Patrick show.

Settle on a poll question. Got our play of the day coming up. Phone calls always welcome Tyler sitting by 8773 DP show there are a lot of people surprised when I gave you the draftkings odds for next year to win the NBA championship. It's the Thunder by long shot and then the Nixon Pacers are tied at second, followed by the Timberwolves and the Cavaliers. No sign of the Boston Celtics. All right, Todd has a song about these small market teams with the NBA Finals. Now, is this sung to a certain tune that we might be familiar with? Hopefully you're familiar with the Down Easter Alexa by Billy Joel. Some may, some not. I know I date things a lot and I'm living in the 80s and 90s, but that was a pretty pop song and hopefully you know that you'll appreciate it based on that song is what I just came to me a couple of nights ago and I decided to put some words. Ladies and gentlemen, Todd Fritz. Well, I'm not watching Pacers and Thunder. I've got more important things to do. Like obsessive compulsively washing my hands and retying a hundred times my shoe. I'm just a man who had Knicks versus Lakers dreams. Can't get excited by these two small market teams. This type of matchup is really not for me. Even though one team's got the mvp. So I won't be watching Pacers and Thunder. I'll just find something else on TV and I'm sure there are several others. Network executives crying just like me. You'll find me elsewhere when these two take the court. Can't get pumped up for Obi Toppin and Lou d' Art. No, no, no, no. How did this happen? Yes. It's really kind of sad. The big storyline, Halliburton and his dad. So I'm passing on Pacers and Thunder and I invite you as well to do so. Or you can sit through tiakum in them heart, feign interest in home grin Caruso. I'll shift my focus to something else that should entice Panthers and Oilers for the cup is on the ice. Yes. I'm not watching Pacers and Thunder. I'll explore other ways to get kicks now. Invested in women's softball and wondering who's gonna coach the Knicks. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Alrighty. Okay. Because that's probably what I was saying throughout the entire song was no, no, no, no, no, no. All right. Put you through that. Yeah. That came to you in a dream like two in the morning a few nights ago. I'm like, I don't know why? I was thinking like, how About a small market team song. And down Easter, Alexa was in my head, I'm like, let's see what we could do. Something different. I don't know. Yeah. Paul, you talked just yesterday about how musicians write a song in 15 minutes. Todd told me the genesis of that opus. And two in the morning Awoken from a dream and he wrote it. I completely appreciate the effort. You do? Yes. Because I love the Lou Dort rhyme. Okay. Had to wait a long time. Time to get to Lou Dort rhyme. He does sound like Billy Joel. Like, has like a pulled muscle in his stomach and can't really hit the notes. But a for effort, man. Yeah. Well, thank you, Todd. Norm in Indiana. Hi, Norm. Hi, DP. First time, long time. 57160. I have a poem I'd like to read to you. A poem? Yeah, and it's. I'm not going to use a scratchy voice like Todd, so it's a little long. Let me know when. If you'd like me to keep going, I'll stop halfway through. Okay. Okay. 25 winners, 25 springs since Indy dreamt on basketball wings A city that whispered one day again now shouts enjoy. Through streets and men the Pacers rise proud and true with hearts stitched tight in golden blue no longer echo the past acclaim Tonight they play a finals game. And leading them so calm, so bright is Tyrese Halliburton our guiding light with vision sharp and spirit kind A poet with a point guards mind. Would you like me to keep going? No, I think we got the gist of it. But you're a Pacer fan. You know what I'd like to do, Norm, is if you'll give the entire poem to Tyler, I would put it in the newsletter that we send out every night to about 80,000 of our fans who have signed up for the newsletter. So can we do that? Absolutely. All right. Well, thank you, Norm. And good luck to your Pacers tonight. Yes. Paul. That guy tried to follow Todd. Yeah. Gutsy. Yeah. Yeah. Should have sung it. Make a rap out of it. Should have sung it. Yeah. Okay, what's the poll question today, Seaton? At least for the first hour. Oh, dear. I'm so glad that you asked. And who are non Edmonton Canadian hockey fans rooting for? We opened up this Pandor. Or. No, I don't want to say Pandora because then you're going to play Pandora. Oh, thanks. All right, give me a little Pandora. I just envision her lying on the top of a piano. Give us cigarette smoke. What was that? The Fabulous Baker Boys With Michelle Pfeiffer, man. Michelle Pfeiffer. One Seat. Jesus. I know. But. But just Seaton's doing. Are you doing Pandora? You're doing. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, it is. Yes. Similar facial hair. Out of the day. Okay. You know, if we go back to Vegas, Pandora has to join us on the show. She sure does. Yes, she does. We gotta get a stage, we gotta get some lights, maybe some tigers. Yeah, what about Siegfried and Roy's tigers? What are they doing now? Marvin, you were gonna say something. Can I just get a shirt that says, oh, Dan, give us. Perfect. All right. What's the poll question? Seaton, by the way, Paulie said you didn't say. What? How you felt about Todd's song. I always appreciate your effort, your creativity. I don't think you sing as well as you think you sing. Shower. I nailed it. Actually, I didn't even sing in the shower. Yeah, I. The water would turn off if you sang like that. Yeah, but, you know, I like the effort and the creativity, and I think that's what makes you unique. There's nobody like you who does this, you know, morning radio and singing poorly. Take that. I'll take it. Yes, yes. There's a compliment in there. There, there, there is your creativity. I'm always fascinated by it. All right, Seaton, by the way, we just got this from Oswald on social media. I'm a Fritzy apologist, but that song is making me wonder if I need to change my stance. Okay. Just saying. And I don't want to lead the audience. I'm. I, I, I appreciate the creativity that you woke up in the middle of the night and you penned that song. I did lose 400 followers on social media in the last five minutes, so that's kind of weird. I don't know if that's a good sign, which is weird because I didn't think you had 400 to lose. Yeah, it's interesting. I think that social media is a great outlet for that type of creativity, Todd. Oh, save it for that. You should just push that content on social and grow your numbers that way. I think that's a great idea. Yeah, go ahead, Todd. They'll respond kindly. Yes. You could start a TikTok just for your songs. Yeah, just sing song. And social media is so kind. Tod Tuck. Yeah. I hope I can win Oswald back. That's all I can do. My day is gonna be ruined. Lee Harvey Oswald, bad man. All right, what else do you have there? We have not Edmonton Canadian hockey fans. Who are you rooting for? The Oilers or the Panthers. We. This is a very select group of people, by the way. Yeah. We talked about this last year, and I thought maybe because the United States has kind of grabbed the sport and, you know, Tampa and Florida have been dominant over the last six years, making it to the Stanley cup finals. But you haven't won since Montreal and what, 92, 93. That you would be. If I'm Canadian, do I. Do I care that it's Edmonton, Can. Can I root for my country more then I'm rooting for Edmonton? I mean, I can't imagine people in Montreal and Toronto going, yeah, you know what? It'd be nice if Edmonton. I wouldn't look at it that way. It would be that you're bringing the cup back to Canada. Yes. So if you're a fan of Calgary Flames or I think Vancouver Canucks are their biggest rivals, you can't put aside your dislike for the Oilers for the good of Canada and Canadian hockey. I think you can. If you're. I don't think you can. It doesn't feel great. It's a bit of a. Like, damned if you do. But I would want Canada win over Florida, for God's sakes, man. I don't. I don't think that if I was in Calgary or Calgary and. Or Vancouver, I. I couldn't go. You know what? I'm okay if Edmonton wins because then we all win. What about karma? If it was the other way around and you're in Vancouver and you hope that if it's our turn, they'll root for us. Oh, no, no, no. Karma. No, they're not. No, that's not. I can't imagine. Like, are we rooting as Americans? Florida winning. Like, how important is it that the cup stays here? I guess when it's not our sport, it can't mean as much. It's kind of become our sport. Right. Hijack. We kind of hijack this thing, but I don't know. What do you think, Fritzi? Do you think that Canada is rooting for Edmonton? No, but they should. I think they all have their regions and provinces and they root for their team and they don't want to see them hold the cup if it's not theirs. But I think they should all band together and root. What about you, Seaton? I think that there are some fan bases. Not. But by and large, they all are. Okay, Marvin? No, because if I'm a Canadiens fan, the oil is. Winning the cup doesn't make me feel any better. But the cup comes back to your country. Okay. All Right. Yeah. Paulie, I don't know if there's a close comp here in America, but this is the closest I could come up with. If you're an SEC football fan and you're a fan of Alabama. Alabama, you don't make the title game, and Georgia makes the title game against Michigan. Who are you rooting for, Georgia or Michigan? For the good of the SEC and the good of all of the sec. You don't root for Georgia to take down Michigan. I don't know the answer. I couldn't. I don't know if they could. If. Okay, if you're an Ohio State fan and Michigan's playing in the National Championship game, you're not rooting for Michigan because it's the Big Ten. No, you can't do that. I mean, you gotta battle lines. They gotta be drawn. Yes. I have a little bit of that, though. Like, if, like, Seton hall gets bounced from the tournament, if they made the tournament and then they got knocked out, I might jump to, like, St. John's or something like that. Yeah, but you're not used to winning. Yes, that's Eaton Hall. Like, Michigan and Ohio State hate each other and they win things. Yeah, that is true. They can have nice things. Seton hall can't have nice things. No, they're not allowed. Mike in Wisconsin. Hi, Mike. What's on your mind today? Yeah, good morning, fellas. Hey, Richie. I love you, buddy. Remember that. Okay. Thanks, man. I got a suggestion, though. If you're gonna let Todd sing, it has to be with music. When there's no music, then it's just kind of cringy, bad singing. When it hears it, it's hilarious. Because he's so off rhythm and it's just. It's. I love it when there's music. Oh, so you want it to be more of a disaster, I think, is what you're saying. See, that's the problem, is Todd can't stay on time. Paul and the guys did suggest music and. Yeah, but that would be an idea. Whether it's going to be worse or not. Whatever. But you've gotten to the point where you don't trust anything we say because we think it rightfully so. Yes. And he shouldn't trust a single word said in this room. Should he have used music there? Seaton? Yes, he should. Okay. Because music distracts. His inability to stay on beat distracts from everything else about the song. That's perfectly accurate. Jason. Jason in Trinity. Hi, Jason. Good morning, dp. I just wanted to flex my muscles on Fritzi and The horrible singing and just need to change up the scoreboard from nicely done to another adverb or adjectives or journalism. But the singing. Do you have a button that you can push to stop that? Well, I do have the cone of silence that sometimes I put over Todd, but once he starts, then I. I got to be respectful to him because he did put in the time. Yes, he. No, I do. No, I can't go there now. I always ask that. Yeah. Okay, hold on. Let's back up. What did you just say? I have to be respectful. No, you can't go there. You don't have to go there. Did I say that you don't have to go there. Todd could send you the email lyrics and you could say, thanks. Okay, that's good. Why don't you put that on your tick tock? No, but he. He sends it. He doesn't stop. This was yesterday. So he was ready yesterday. And then I. I said, all right, all right. Remind me. Well, okay. Of course he's going to remind me. And then first thing that when I get in here this morning a couple hours ago. What's he saying? Just want to remind you I got a song about small marketing. It's also a good sport to be ganged up on. I think also that we encourage the listeners and the viewers, the fans, to not watch the NBA. They could suck. I'm. I gotta. Well, you know, they're gonna. You know what? Why don't you sing? I'm not saying I sound anything like Billy Jones. No, you don't. No, but it is. It's more, you know, it's more comfortable. I'm going to jump on the bandwagon with the rest of the guys. Yeah, that was okay. When the commissioner of the NBA joins us next Wednesday, I'd like for you to sing the song too. Sure. He'll really appreciate. Yeah. Oh, dear. Yeah. Todd, the audience is asking why you hate them. Dan. Why does Dan hate. Why did he let Todd keep going? Now it's getting personal. Yeah. Yes. Paul, if you cut him off in the middle of the song, you miss the chance for great content. Cutting him off actually hurts it. Did we get great content, though? No. By not cutting him off. It was decent. It wasn't a disaster. It was too middle ground. It was neither great nor horrendous. And Todd, usually that's one of the other Jordan in Wisconsin. Hi, Jordan. What's on your mind? Hi. Good morning. I'm a big fan. Going back 30 years, used to watch Sports center reruns in the morning instead of going to college and law school. But on the topic of bad singing, I really enjoy. I think it's Keaton who does that salary over and over to the Valerie tune. And I have a similar suggestion for stat of the day. If you did the Elton John Saturday night's all right for fighting and just did stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. With someone who could sing that, that would be similar. And I don't know if it's entertaining or not, but I'm also old enough to remember the gong show, and I think if you had a gong when singing and showed all of the staff members fighting over each other to either get to or protect the gong, that would be, you know, what I'm going to do, Jordan. We would get into licensing rights, you know, with Elton John. So we couldn't afford that. But I. I think I'm gonna go out and get a gong. That's a great idea. Chuck Barris and the three people there, which all. No, no, no. We, We. We know it's, you know, 80s, and you're big on the 80s. I was explaining because there's a lot of people that may not be familiar with the gong Show. Okay, go ahead. No, there would be. There would be three, like, celebrity types. It was like Jamie Farr and JP Morgan. It was like, three people, and they would be pretending to battle each other because they all couldn't wait to hit the gong because the act was so bad, and they would have their little fun with that. There you go. All right. You know what? I'm gonna to see if he can find a big gong. Big gong. And we'll put it over here, and then I'll just take it out occasionally. Yeah, Paulie. I already reached out to my gong, guys. Oh, you got a gong. Wheels are in motion. All right. Yeah. All right. By the way, we a tweet from the beard celebrating eight years of marriage with my wife. Can I get a Fritzy Bruce Springsteen shout out to my wife Courtney? Well, all right. Happy anniversary, Courtney. They all bring a whole lot. Bring it home. Anniversary.

Are we going to change things up already? Oh, seaton a hot dog at 9:48am all right, you just led right into our new poll question. Is 9:45am Too early to eat a non tailgating hot dog? Wow. Wow. Dang. Okay, I get. If you're in a parking lot and you're surrounded by a bunch of people, there's music going, all rules are off. Drinking beer, drink whatever you want. Whatever you want. None of the rules apply. Okay, this is just a rant. What day is today? Thursday. A random Thursday. Just sitting here and I, yes, I had a 9:45am Eastern Standard Time hot dog, but somebody had to put the hot dogs on. There were like nine on there. Now there's like four left. So then you smell them. Yes. I don't know if you said, I want to have a hot dog as much as you walked by and you went hot dogs, but you still went 9:45. I'm all in. I waited till the end of the show yesterday. I, I showed a little restraint there. Yes. If a hot dog is available in your proximity, regardless of whether you or someone else put it on there, there is no time. That is too early. Okay, I'm fine with it. If it's 6, 7 in the morning, there's a hot dog next to you. What the heck? I'm not judging anybody. Not when it comes to a hot dog. Dylan, our gambling guy, he's always, he's always whipping up hot dogs. He's had two already. If you're watching on Peacock, you can see the BRGs are back there. They had me get one of those hot dog like rollers that you find at 7:11 or these convenience stores and I, I put it in there. So. And they whip up tater tots and I mean all kinds of things in the morning. But Dylan will, Dylan will polish off a couple hot dogs before 10am yes. They had like little mini pizza rolls and egg rolls the other day. They're not shy. Yeah. Yes. Paulie, there is a gas station feel and smell to those hot dogs which make it even. You feel like you're sinning if you have one before 11. Man. It's still pretty good. Still pretty good. I like it when it's a little charred. Toss some mayo mustard on there. Never mayo mustard on there. And Doug in North Carolina. Hi, Doug. Hey, Dan. I have to tell you, my hopes and optimism have plummeted this week. And I wanted just to vent to you. I'm a Lions fan. It was announced officially yesterday that our center, Frank Ragnow, is retiring. And I. This is the same thing Barry did to us. This is the same thing Andrew Luck did to the Colts. I think there ought to be almost defined if a player decides to retire after the free agency and draft are over. It just seems like you're really screwing with your teammates. I mean, we would have kept Kevin Zeitler if we knew right now was. Was going to retire this. It just feels like he really did his teammates bad. Well, wait, do you think that he did this on purpose? That he was waiting this long? I don't think he did it, although I do think Barry did it on purpose. But I think if you make the decision this late, it prevents your team from. From finding a solution to replace you. But I don't know if maybe he was holding out hope that he could still play. You did draft two offensive linemen, and maybe they realized that, you know, odds were not in his favor of coming back. And Barry Sanders did retire right after the season ended. And that's in large part because he was tired of losing with the organization. While that was a surprise, it was right at the end of the season. But yes, Doug, I understand your pain. And you lost both your coordinators as well. Thank you for the phone call. Let's see. James in Iowa. Hi, James. 61260. First of all, the hot dog at 947. I gotta tell you, that kind of puts a warm, fuzzy feeling in my heart. That's a great idea. But I did have a suggestion. The reason I'm calling is I had a suggestion for your last show. So you have a lot of your lot of your buddies, a lot of your guests call you the Godfather. So I was thinking, how about doing it on a meat Friday? You guys have a little Sopranos theme going. The end of the end of the show, you. You guys start playing some music. You get together. You're eating your food off the Traeger grill. You're getting together at the table. The close ups, the close up of you. You look up like you're getting ready to say something. Fade to black. I'd have to get the license for a the Journey song. And we can't afford that either. Although it'd be our last show. You know, they'd have to come and track us down there. Steve Perry and Journey would have to come and get us there. Yeah. Well, we're going to be in Atlanta at the super bowl, so it'd be that Friday. Although people have suggested maybe we do a Sunday super bowl watch and then that would be the final show. There has to be a final show. You got to come back Monday to recap the Super Bowl. You can not talk about the Super Bowl. Probably do the week after the super bowl one more day free agency. Then we usually take that week after the week after the super bowl off. So then it'd be like a natural break. We'll do the 2026 season. What about, what about that Monday after the Super Bowl? That, that's the last show. But then the draft is right around the corner. We're gonna do drafts at the draft. Where's it going to be? I mean, yeah, it's Pittsburgh and then it's Washington, D.C. for the draft. Right. We'll find out where 2028 is. If it's close by, if, if they have it here in Connecticut, then maybe one hour in the books. Two more to go on this Thursday Dan Patrick show.
