Key Discussion Points & Insights

---

Lighthearted Banter & The Toddcast Sample

[02:14 – 08:00]

• The crew opens with a playful debate over what kind of pizza to eat (pepperoni wins unanimously) and spins off into a humorous anecdote involving Chrissy Teigen and a "pepperoni" code word.
• Dan promotes "The Toddcast," where producer Todd lies on a couch and discusses his childhood traumas with Dylan. A sample segment revolves around Todd's traumatic skee-ball redemption experience at arcades like Dave & Buster’s.
  • Todd laments how, after collecting 90 tickets, the prizes are pathetic: “You can get like a pack of gum or a little plastic yo-yo for like 70 tickets. What is that? That’s your rip off.” (05:49)
  • Dan quips: “If it did happen to me, I would have gotten over it.” (06:29) – ribbing Todd for his longstanding grudge.
  • The group reflects on the absurd ticket-to-prize ratio, noting a PlayStation 5 requires 180,000 tickets and “a perfect game in skee ball 360 times” (07:40).

---

Legacy Questions in Sports (The Rory McIlroy Press Conference)

[10:17 – 17:33]

• Dan transitions into golf, discussing a press conference where a reporter awkwardly asks Rory McIlroy how concerned he is with his legacy “past when you’ll be on this earth” (10:49).
  • Dan and the crew critique the phrasing: “Just ask the question, how concerned are you of what your kids and grandkids will be talking about when it comes to your legacy... You don’t have to have death. You don’t. You don’t have to do any of that morbid...” (12:27, 14:06)
  • The group jokes about how reporters try to soften tough questions, often making them more uncomfortable.
  • Paulie asks if anyone thinks about what will be said at their funeral—prompting humor and dark reflections. Todd speculates about funeral catering and who might “randomly show up” at his wake (15:19–16:32).
  • Dan and Todd riff on cremation, Viking funerals, and the unlikely prospect of making it to heaven:
    • Todd: “I have a chance to make things up between now and the end…”
    • Dan: “I’m not going to heaven either, Todd.” (19:15–19:22)
  • Paulie speculates about cemetery bunk beds, and Dylan notes in Greece, bodies are exhumed after seven years for space (18:40).

---

ESPN “Mount Rushmore” & Legacy Debates

[19:42 – 20:46]

• Dan responds to being left off another sports anchor's top four, taking it in stride.
  • “It was John Butcher Grass’s top four. I didn’t make it… That’s okay. It’s a good list.” (20:11)
• Paulie proposes that some pairs—like Magic and Bird, or Dan and Olbermann—should share a slot.

---

Shifting to Soccer: Defensive Masterclasses & Corruption Concerns

Analysis of Spain vs. France, World Cup Outcomes

[26:03 – 29:51]

• Dan compares Spain's defensive tactics against France to Floyd Mayweather’s style: disciplined, relentless, not always flashy but highly effective.
  • “Spain reminds me of Floyd Mayweather, just unbelievably, tactically defensive and great at it.” (26:19)
• Eric Wynalda, ex-USMNT and current analyst, joins and offers an emphatic breakdown:
  • On Spain: “It's kind of like if I threw a pile of crap at you and your Rodri, you catch it and somehow give it back, packaged with a little bow on it, because that's how good he is.” (28:09)
  • France, he says, fell on their own sword by being forced to chase Spain around the pitch until exhaustion set in.
  • Spain’s current run: 37 consecutive international wins, only one goal conceded this Cup.

---

England vs. Argentina Preview & Corruption/Favoritism

[29:51 – 34:56]

• Wynalda discusses perceived favoritism for Argentina in officiating (“England gets seven fouls before they get a yellow card; Argentina, 22 and a half. Well, okay, something’s going on.” - 30:46)
• Criticizes corruption and avoidance of accountability by FIFA: “It just looks corrupt. It looks bad when, when you see these kind of things happen, people getting cheated out of goals.” (31:49)
• On technology and VAR: “When you go back 10 seconds and you’re re-refereeing the game, that’s where we’ve gone too far. And it makes it too easy for the conspiracy theorists.” (32:51)

---

American Soccer Development “We Need Fewer Players”

[34:56 – 40:58]

• Wynalda draws a sharp comparison between U.S. and European academy systems:
  • “The rest of the world spends all of their time trying to find the talent, and then they eliminate the untalented, and they thin the herd pretty quick. America is trying to figure out how to increase the numbers, which is not helping to grow the game.” (35:26)
  • Points out that U.S. youth soccer is driven by money, keeping untalented players in expensive systems, while abroad, players are cut early if they don't have the right stuff.
  • “These players...being told they're going to be something they're not, and they're paying through the nose. The rest of the world doesn't do that, Dan. We just basically say, no. That's my professional opinion. Go do something else. You're 16.” (36:01)
• Emphasizes his own academy, which charges kids nothing and tries to find overlooked working-class talent: “These kids don’t pay for anything. I take them to the opportunities door and I knock it down.” (39:29)
• Wynalda claims if the U.S. adopted a more European approach, “we’d win the World Cup.”

---

The Parents & Pay-to-Play Trap

[37:36 – 41:17]

• Dan highlights story after story of parents not knowing if their financial and emotional investment in soccer is worth it.
• Both agree that the system recycles itself every four years, offering little real progress (“It’s Groundhog Day every four years, right?” – 38:41).
• Wynalda says the youth talent evaluation system in the U.S. is so flawed, he could assemble teenagers who could beat the U.S. national team.

---

Closing: The State of U.S. Soccer, Solutions & Cynicism

[41:17 – 42:35]

• Wynalda’s parting pick: “England” over Argentina.
• Dan closes with: “We all want answers. We want to know what the system. Is the system rigged? And if so, how do we unrig it?”

---

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Dylan]

We've got buffalo chicken pizza, pepperoni pizza with Calabrian chili.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Dylan]

And focaccia margherita pizza.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. You could only have one slice today out of those three. Todd, I'll start with you.

[Todd]

Anything with pepperoni Gets me going. So I'm gonna go with the pepperoni one.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Paulie]

It always has a little tinge of. You know what, Dylan?

[Dylan]

That kind of got me going. So I gotta go pepperoni, too.

[Todd]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

Remember when Chrissy Teigen joined us and she was a swimsuit model, Sports Illustrated, and occasionally that you'd be out in the water and your top might fall down, and if it did, then somebody would yell out, pepperoni. And then she realized that the top had fallen down. So whenever I hear pepperoni, I always think of Chrissy Teigen. Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

That's when I started getting extra pepperoni on my pizzas after that date. I don't. I don't need the sausage or the meatball. Give me double pepperoni.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

Yeah, I've had pepperoni yelled at me too, but.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, when you had your top off

[Dylan]

in Pittsburgh, there's some diameter.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, my God. I'm. I like. I thought that you were photoshopped into that body.

[Dylan]

Thank you.

[Dan Patrick]

No, not in a good way. But you and the, you know, Ray and some of the back room guys you route at a bar in Pittsburgh, did they tell you to put your shirt back on?

[Dylan]

Yeah, after about an hour. And the guy was, like, very. Really didn't feel like coming over to deal with it. And he was like, guys, it's a health code violation. I was like, is it? You're just tired of looking at it.

[Dan Patrick]

I thought that he said, ma', am, you're gonna have to pull your time.

[Dylan]

Ma'. Am.

[Dan Patrick]

Marvin, you got one slice. What are you taking?

[Marvin]

Pepperoni.

[Dan Patrick]

Right, Paulie?

[Paulie]

Yeah, the same. It sounds too good.

[Dan Patrick]

So what are the options? I'll take the first one. The buffalo chicken.

[Dylan]

I kind of thought you might.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I don't want the focaccia.

[Dylan]

It's good.

[Dan Patrick]

No, I don't like the dough. I like thin crust, man. I could crackling.

[Dylan]

What about a little of both yin and yang?

[Dan Patrick]

No, I don't. I don't want the yang.

[Todd]

Just the end.

[Dan Patrick]

I'll take the yin.

[Todd]

Yes, Todd, you need to be a little more brave. I don't like these, you know, conservative people that live their lives in fear

[Eric Winolda]

and every little movement.

[Dan Patrick]

By the way, Todd has the Todd cast. And we do this. We try to do this each week. So Todd lies down on a couch. Dylan is his therapist. And then they talk for, you know, good 45 to 50 minutes, I would say. That is the summary of the Todd cast. And pretty much yesterday, I think it was 53 minutes. So Dylan talked for three, and Todd talked for 50. That pretty much accurate there, Todd?

[Todd]

Yeah, that was more like, you know, 48, 5 or 47 6. But you get the gist of who's doing the most of the time.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, here's a sample of the Todd cast. Now, I find it fascinating, but you have to love Todd. But if you love Todd, you're gonna love the Todd cast. Here is Dylan with a question to Todd yesterday.

[Dylan]

Todd, have you been to Dave and Buster's before?

[Todd]

I don't go to places like that because I had that experience about that I don't have 90.

[Dylan]

Was it traumatic?

[Todd]

Yes. And I don't play. I'm not an arcade person. But I worked really hard on the skee ball. And like everyone's even looking at me like, look at it.

[Dan Patrick]

And they're like.

[Todd]

It looked like I had spilling on

[Dylan]

like the girls were coming up to.

[Todd]

For my Jewish friends. It looked like I could have wrapped them up with this spilling. My skee ball tickets, that's how many I had. And I'm like, I've got like 90 skeeball tickets. And what do you mean? I can get. I could pick a lollipop or a Yo yo or a piece of Swedish fish. What? And then like, maybe I'll get three back. I have 90 for 87. I can get that. And then I can still save the other three. I don't know what you do if you have anything less than like 15.

[Dan Patrick]

They were garbage.

[Todd]

There's nothing. Everything starts with like 10 or 15. And even that is like a chewed piece of bubble yum for 15. It really is a scam. It's disgusting.

[Dylan]

What was there a prize that you really wanted you weren't able to get?

[Todd]

I think there was this cute Donkey Kong monkey. There was this. The thing is stuff. Stuff. Yeah, but that's insane. You need like 30,000 to. And I didn't know, like I'm a little kid.

[Dan Patrick]

That's just a sample of the Todd cast where Todd basically remembers his childhood and all the trauma that was associated.

[Todd]

Didn't that bother you growing up? You could have like a thousand. Like so many of these skee ball tickets spent so much money playing on. And you can get like a pack of gum or like a sucking candy or a little plastic yo yo for like 70 tickets. Like, what is that? That's your rip off.

[Dan Patrick]

If it did happen to me, I would have gotten over.

[Todd]

Still bothers me to this day.

[Dan Patrick]

I know, I know there's a lot of things.

[Todd]

That's when I went on the tilt the roll And I begged the kid to stop the ride because I was getting so dizzy and they had to stop the ride to let me off while I was at day camp.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Dylan, Todd may be the only

[Dylan]

person who was that traumatized by an arcade experience who was not like abducted from the arcade.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Paul.

[Paulie]

I think this show being serious for a second, might be good for Todd long term to let this stuff out in a venue with Dylan, who's a good listener and a good question asker. And I think it could be good for him. Seriously, it's like, it's pent up stuff.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, hope, hopefully it's cathartic for him.

[Todd]

I was like, could I get that little black and white TV that's 40,000 tickets, which would cost like, I don't know how much money would that cost of games of skeeball to get that?

[Dan Patrick]

Do you feel better after you've sat down with Dylan and spent an hour talking about whatever topic you want to bring up?

[Todd]

I initially feel a little dizzy and lightheaded. Then as I go up, as I get off this laying from that position, I still feel a little better that there's some therapeutic element to that.

[Dan Patrick]

The listener feels dizzy and lightheaded as well.

[Todd]

Yes. And they probably get nauseous. They're like, what was that?

[Dylan]

Yes, Dylan, we actually looked it up at the Dave and Buster is like the most expensive prize and tickets that you can get there is a PlayStation 5, which I believe was 180,000 tickets. And we did the math. If you were to have a perfect game in skee ball, you would have to do it 360 times to get a PlayStation 5.

[Todd]

Come on, is that ridiculous?

[Dan Patrick]

How about you just buy one at that point? Well, I, My daughter, my youngest daughter loves to go to Dave and Buster's and it's a little, you know, father daughter, quality time and it's fun. You know, she's into it. She's like 28. You know, it's. It's not like I'm bringing a 13 year old there. She's 28. She'll be like, hey, how about a Dave and Buster's night? And I go, yes. Even though I don't like it, I, I know it's important to spend the quality time and it's fun with her. But she said, hey, I want to get up on this thing some like, it's a crane that lifts you up, it straps you in, and then it moves you over to this big pit full of inflatable balls. And I got a banana over there. So my daughter gets up on it and she's flying over it, and then she said, what do you want? I go, give me the banana. And I'm thinking, okay. And so she got the banana and, you know, like, she just caught some, you know, 20 pound bass or something. So look, I got it for you, you know, So I have the banana here in the man cave here, the show, for I don't know how many. Probably cost me $20 to get that inflatable banana. Yes. Marvin, do you play the Papa Shot

[Todd]

at Dave and Buster's?

[Dan Patrick]

I have. I don't like to.

[Todd]

Because you like real basketball?

[Dan Patrick]

Because I'm competitive. And then. But my daughter will be like, hey, Mr. Basketball. And I go, that's golden boy to you. And so we do it, but I. I get caught up in it. And then she'll go, all right, let's move on to something else. I go, no, no, no. I want to. I got to get a better score than that. So I try air hockey. Same thing. Competitive. Like, you know, you. You'd think that I want to be Gretzky out there slapping things around like Ovechkin. Like, I'm ready to take her out if I need to score that goal. Yes, Dylan, I did.

[Dylan]

We've. Obviously, when we're on the road, we spend a decent amount of time in casinos. And my favorite part, aside from all the fun that I have there, is seeing the arcade, just the regular arcade in the casino. They're in all of them, which is just sort of like where, you know, you say your kids.

[Dan Patrick]

You just dump your kids.

[Dylan]

Yeah, go faux gamble over there. It's like their Diet Coke Stat of

[Dan Patrick]

the day, brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the program, golf's oldest major. It'll be the Open Championship. Scotty Scheffler, defending champ, you can see it on NBC. And Peacock this week. Speaking of the Open Championship, here is a question to Rory McElroy on his legacy after he dies. How concerned are you with your legacy past when you'll be on this earth? How concerned are you with how you'll be viewed in 100 years? Do you think about that kind of thing? Does it matter to you since you won't be here?

[Marvin]

I mean, what.

[Dan Patrick]

How does that go? No, I don't really care.

[Dylan]

You know, I would like to think that the people that love and care

[Dan Patrick]

about me think a certain way of me. But, yeah, I'll be. I'll be long gone. I'll be dead.

[Dylan]

I don't.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't think I'll be seeing what people say about me. I'll be six feet under. I don't think I'll be a ghost. I don't think I'll be, you know, like, I. Yeah, I don't care. Okay. The reporter, I don't know his name, was criticized for asking this question. I believe Scotty Scheffler brought it up or was asked the same kind of question. And then it followed up with Rory at some point after that. I believe that's sort of the. The chain of command of how this happened.

[Todd]

Yes, Todd, but if you're next in line among the reporters to ask a question after that, where do you go? How do you go from that to so how concerning? About 13? That's a tough hole. Oakdale.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Polly.

[Paulie]

Golf Digest reporter Shane Ryan was the one who asked the question. He did speak about it afterwards. He said he could have phrased it a little better, not so much about the death, and maybe just asked about legacy. But he does stand by the question.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, the way it's phrased is wrong. Let me just hear the question. How concerned are you with your legacy past when you'll be on this earth? How concerned are you with how you'll be viewed in 100 years? Do you think about that kind of thing? Does it matter to you since you won't be here?

[Eric Winolda]

I mean, what.

[Dan Patrick]

How does that go? Okay, just stop with legacy. Now, he inserted death, and that doesn't come up very often at a golf press conference. I'm fine with that if you want to put it in there, but just ask one question, not let me ask it, and then add something to it. And then add something to it. Just ask the question, how concerned are you of what your kids and grandkids will be talking about when it comes to your legacy or when you know your career is over? You don't want to say when you're gone. You just, like, your legacy stops when you stop playing it. It doesn't, you know, it's not like, well, we're not going to talk about his legacy until he dies. It's. You're done playing. We can talk about your legacy. You're like, nope, can't do it till you die. Oh, come on. Nope, can't do it. Sorry. Rory.

[Paulie]

Yeah, Paul, can you ask him more subt. Without using the word death, like, when you're, when your round is over, Rory, if you know what I mean. When you're in the 19th hole, six

[Dan Patrick]

feet, when you're at the big golf course in the sky looking down. Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

You think he got a little tongue tied or that's not exactly how he wanted to. Why would you start saying something like, when you're no longer on this earth, that dramatic?

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. When you're in a press conference, this happens all the time, where you want to help the person you're asking the question to, instead of just ask the question. Because it is really abrupt when you say, rory, how concerned are you when you're done playing golf of what your legacy is going to be?

[Marvin]

That's it.

[Dan Patrick]

You don't have to have death. You don't. You don't have to do any of that morbid, you know, you don't have to add anything to it. Just ask the question. And I'm guilty of this sometimes, too, but for the most part, you wanted to go. Here's the question. Open ended. Here's the question not. Let me keep adding. Let me keep adding. Let me ask it again. Let me answer it. Let me ask again. Just ask the question. You'll get a far better answer.

[Dylan]

Yes, Dylan, also, he didn't even factor in that Rory could live to be 137, so who knows?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. By then, you know, AI, what's going to happen in artificial intelligence? Yeah. Yes, Paulie.

[Paulie]

Oddly, I like the question from its originality, not its planning and execution. And you get a unique answer. However, I was asking, thinking about you guys. Have you ever thought about when people are at your funeral, what they're going to talk about, like, at your funeral? I'm curious. I don't know if anyone does.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't. I mean, who knows? They usually say nice things when you're dead, right? Usually. Usually they're like, you know, you know, he wasn't forever everybody, but, you know, he had a. Interesting sense of humor. Yes. Todd.

[Todd]

I think less about what the speeches would be and more about, like, what, you know, the catering is going to look like, what kind of food everybody's gonna be stuffing their faces with, with bagels and tuna salad and all that kind of good stuff. Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Your wife will be paying for it.

[Todd]

Pastries.

[Marvin]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Todd]

Marvin, I've thought about who's the most random person that would show up, like, to my wake of my funeral? Like, damn, they showed up, man. Thank you.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Yeah.

[Paulie]

That's interesting. Who flies in? That was a casual friend.

[Dan Patrick]

Do I have somebody at the door, like a bouncer that maybe there's a list of those not allowed in?

[Paulie]

Oh, I have that list from you.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. There's probably a few people would Be like, no, don't bother. Nah, don't bother.

[Todd]

Yes, that's the more fascinating list.

[Marvin]

Not.

[Todd]

Oh, what a pleasant surprise. I didn't know he felt that way about me. Or she felt. I don't want the ones that like, you don't know me like that. Even in death. What are you. What are you sharing? We never had any kind of relationship or friendship, and you got the gall to show up at my funeral?

[Dylan]

Yes, Dylan, would you rather less that someone you didn't like showed up at your funeral and kind of, like, did the whole sob story? Or like one of your good friends was like, he's dead. He's not going to notice I'm not there.

[Dan Patrick]

Never know. Yeah, I. Once again, I. I don't know. I. I hope. I think I'm going to be cremated, though.

[Paulie]

Have you decided?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, my wife wants to be. And then so she said, what about you? And I go, I don't know. I guess because. But then if I'm cremated, then, you know, he's in fuego. Like, you know, keep the joke going. Like. Like the person who's shoving me into the clubbing.

[Todd]

God, this is morbid.

[Dan Patrick]

He's in fuego. Yes. Yes. Dylan.

[Dylan]

What about like a Viking funeral where they push you out on, like, the wooden long.

[Dan Patrick]

How about Tahoe? How about Lake Tahoe?

[Dylan]

Just dumped in Tahoe.

[Dan Patrick]

Just send me off. Yes.

[Todd]

Todd, what if you can come back to life as someone or something? You ever think about that? You can be anyone or anything.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't believe in that. If I do, hopefully I'll come back as a dog. It seemed to have pretty good life. Yeah.

[Dylan]

Dylan, I feel like I wouldn't get so lucky with the dog.

[Dan Patrick]

Why?

[Dylan]

I feel like I'd be like a bug. Some sort of bug.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Yeah.

[Paulie]

Paul, my daughter asked me this just yesterday. We're driving by a huge cemetery by our house, and it appears full. Like there's not another acre in the back. She goes, what do they do when cemeteries are full? I'm like, I had no answer for her. I go, well, I guess they find other plots and build new cemeteries. She goes, eventually they're going to run out of room. Do you think there'll be a law that people have to be cremated someday? I had no way to answer it.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I do have a joke every time I drive by a cemetery with my kids and I go, do you know how many dead people are in there? And they go, no. I go, all of them. Yeah. They're on to me now. They're on to me now. Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

Does it ever, in some sick way, cheer you up as your pest gets cemetery? It's, like, as horrible as my day was. I'm not like this group over there. They're kind of. No. I said, you got to just latch onto something.

[Dan Patrick]

Is it something that you think it

[Todd]

has crossed my mind if I have a depressed moment or just a bad day, and I'm like, well, I guess I'm better. Doing better than this.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

I think, Paulie, to sort of answer that question. I know in Greece, I believe you have to get dug up because they're so out of space in cemeteries, you have to get dug up after, like, seven years. And they don't do cremation.

[Paulie]

How about bunk beds? How about cemetery bunk beds? You find someone. You know, like, Marvin and I are good friends. If I got a plot. Marvin, can you just. Just go above me?

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

Yeah, but the higher one is closer to heaven. And, you know, like, everyone needs to kind of be on the same plane, and you run into all kinds of issues.

[Dan Patrick]

You're not going to heaven.

[Dylan]

Wow.

[Todd]

Damn.

[Dan Patrick]

You're calling it. Yeah.

[Todd]

I have a chance to make things up between now and the end, to try to get back into good graces. It's been a tough week for you, Fritz.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm not going to heaven either, Todd. Oh.

[Todd]

What do we need to do to, you know, have that be reconsidered?

[Dan Patrick]

It doesn't matter.

[Todd]

There's nothing we could do.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no. Nothing we could do. Not the big sports center in the sky. No, no. Not gonna go up there to this St. Peter. Maybe I'll be buried at Bristol, Connecticut, on the campus of the mothership.

[Dylan]

Lovely.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Todd]

That's creepy.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Maybe if they give me a statue and then they could bury me. Like, the statue would be the, you know, gravestone. How about that?

[Todd]

How about they just make a ESPN Mount Rushmore?

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, no. We're not doing that today. No, no, no, we're not. Yeah. Somebody was like, did you see John Butcher? Gross didn't include you in his top four sports center anchors. I go, that's okay. It was John Butcher Grass's top four. I didn't make it. I think it was Berman, Stewart, Keith, and Van Pelt. I'm like, it's. It's okay. It's a good list. That's all right. No problem. What?

[Paulie]

Paul, again, this bothers me. I think that, like you said, Magic and Bird are together in one slot on the top 10 list of NBA players. You and Overman in some fashion could take one slot, like on Mount Rushmore if they put two little heads together. Just a thought.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

Wouldn't the whole Mount Rushmore thing be easier if it was just five?

[Paulie]

Would have helped everybody.

[Dylan]

Sports Radio 4 is tough, really.

[Marvin]

Right.

[Dan Patrick]

It's hard to have your Mount Rushmore NBA lineup because you only have four. You don't even get to put the fifth in there. We're going to talk soccer coming up, by the way. Spain is stacked. They played great defense yesterday. And now England, my Englanders, Harry Kane. They'll be playing later today against Messi and Argentina. We'll talk some soccer coming up with Eric Modola is going to stop by. Yes, yes, he is. Right after this Dan Patrick Show. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio Apple. Hey, it's Ben, host of the Fifth Hour with Ben Mather. It would mean a lot to have you join us on our weekly auditory journey. You're asking, what in God's name is the fifth Hour?

[Dylan]

I'll tell you.

[Jake Brennan]

I'm Jake Brennan, and on the Disgraceland Podcast, I explore the wild lives of rock stars and unbelievable true crime stories from music history. These are the stories you haven't heard, the kind you'll end up telling someone else. Like the time Paul McCartney spent in one of the world's most notorious prisons. Imagine that you're Paul McCartney. It's 1980, you're an ex Beatle, and you're doing time in one of Japan's worst prisons right there alongside Yakuza gangsters. And for a ridiculous charge or the bizarre crime Lady Gaga is accused of. Who is the artist? Lady Gaga is being accused of doing the unthinkable to after allegedly stealing her music and style to become famous. And what about that time Blondie's Debbie Harry escaped a serial killer? The man who had given her that ride she barely escaped from was Ted Bundy. Listen to Disgraceland on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dan Patrick]

We talked a little bit about the soccer with Spain handling France. They've allowed one goal. It's weird because we do talk about this. I talk about this every Super Bowl. We get to the postseason, high scoring offenses wide open. And I said, it's gonna be defense. It always comes down to defense. At some point you have to make a stop or the other team has to make a stop. And usually a Super bowl can depend on that. The outcome and what you saw yesterday. I text Paulie halfway through the match. Spain and France. I said, Spain reminds me of Floyd Mayweather, just unbelievably, tactically defensive and great at it. And they just felt like there was always two or three players that were in the vicinity of Mbappe and anybody else who was going to try to have a shot on goal. It wasn't exciting in what we've talked about because this is, this World Cup's been about firepower. That was just about Spain saying, you know, this is kind of how we do it. And we do it as well, if not better than anybody. Eric Winoldo, host of the Eric Winolda talks football on Sirius XM fc, former member of the US Team, three World Cups and back with a second appearance.

[Sam J]

Wow.

[Eric Winolda]

What's going on? Are you okay? Are we feeling okay?

[Dan Patrick]

I got caught up yesterday and I'm like, I, I want you to talk about Spain that everybody's talking about. Mbappe and Holland and Messi and all the, you know, firepower. Spain's kind of boringly great.

[Eric Winolda]

Well, I know it's, it's, it's more complex than that, but I feel like I got to bring the, the level up today. You guys are talking about death. You went from Dave and Buster's to Pepperoni. I can't believe that none of you guys took the chicken pizza. By the way, I'm with you, Dan. And by the way, top four, ESPN all time. Sometimes on your exit from a former employer, they, they do stuff like this just to piss you off. You are number one, hands down, period. There's not even a question.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you.

[Paulie]

Come on.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you.

[Marvin]

Kidding me?

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you. All right, Spain.

[Eric Winolda]

Spain.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Eric Winolda]

What Spain does is, and this is where it gets a little bit confusing because we could say it's Defense. But what. What they do. Fantastic. When France tried to play defense, they made them chase in such a way that they were all tired out by the time they got the ball. And there is a design to that. If you watch the second goal, for example, and there's a trust that they have, and they have this guy Rodri in the middle of the field who's coming off an acl. But it's. It's kind of like if I threw a pile of crap at you and your Rodri, you catch it and somehow give it back, packaged with a little bow on it, because that's how good he is. He's just amazing. And he makes everything look easy. He makes everybody look better. So France, since we're talking about death today, they fell on their own sword. They. They just went. What they didn't realize was happening is, in this transitional game is you can't chase, chase, chase and then run. You can't. It doesn't work that way. Even the second goal, they took out that guy Barkala, who was very instrumental in making it a tough day for Lamina Mall, because every time Le Me would beat his guy, this guy would run out of position just to chase him down because he was fast enough. His replacement Due didn't do a. He didn't chase Poro. And that's the only reason why that goal happened. So France is out and Spain is good. They're very good. That's the reason why they won the Euros. I think this will continue. And it's. It's. It's an amazing deal. When you have a goalkeeper with six shutouts and that's their 37th consecutive win at international football, it doesn't happen. I think it's the record, and, and it's been an amazing ride.

[Dan Patrick]

What do you expect today with England and Argentina?

[Eric Winolda]

This sucks, man. I. I can't believe that I'm going to be saying this, but I. You know, 250 years we got on boats to get away from these guys.

[Dan Patrick]

Now we're rooting for.

[Eric Winolda]

What is that? I. I think. I think Argentina's got something going on. There's. There's an undercurrent here. I don't know what it is, but I've been, you know, watching them almost seemingly implode. Everybody. Everybody. When you play against Argentina, you're playing as the champion, so you bring your. Your best game. And the energy levels are off the charts, and they've gotten a little fortunate with the referee calls. I mean, you got to. You have to have. Let's Put it this way, England gets seven fouls before they get a yellow card. Argentina, 22 and a half. Well, okay, something's going on, right? So they. And they've had an easy pathway. This is Argentina's first real game. Argentina is a very good team.

[Dan Patrick]

But are you saying there's favoritism here?

[Eric Winolda]

Oh, absolutely. And. And anybody that says otherwise is just. Just trying to, you know, come up with another narrative. I mean, like, the Egypt goal, taking that back, it's. It's part of the biggest travesties I've seen in a World cup, because that was a wonderful goal. And I think I said this on another program, and it was almost like, nope, that's not a goal. Some guy in the 18th row spilled mustard on his hot dog. A hot dog on his shirt. So we got to call that one back. Really, really a shame, because Egypt. Egypt was terrific and they got cheated. So. And by the way, Messi, you know, we got Balaguna, and we take back the yellow there. The red card, which was. Which was not the right thing, but Messi should have never even had his first five goals. That was a red card offense in the first game against Algeria. So, yes, favoritism has been alive and well with this Argentine setup.

[Dan Patrick]

Are you okay with that? That, that, like, why would they be playing favorites? I know it's a TV event, but do you think that there is.

[Eric Winolda]

Well, it's not like you guys are basketball guys, right? So it's kind of like you do the tournament, 64 teams and blah, blah, blah, and 1, 2, 3, 4, make it almost. You know, there's always a dark horse, right? But before this tournament started, we could have all told you it was going to be Spain, France, Argentina, England, and that. That's, you know, and we see the big TV numbers and we see people like it. It has that feel of. And everybody's having shots at Infantino because it just looks like. It just looks corrupt. It looks bad when, when you see these kind of things happen, people getting cheated out of goals.

[Dan Patrick]

The.

[Eric Winolda]

The whole. The whole Croatian goal, the ball detected someone's hair follicle. But in the England game, somehow that didn't hit the wire. And we're supposed to believe that the technology within the ball is telling nest and our eyes are lying. It just gets. It gets. It gets a little weird sometimes.

[Dan Patrick]

In our game, do we depend on, you know, instant replay or var too much? Do we lean on them?

[Eric Winolda]

Yeah, I. I don't like it. Only, I like the. I like the idea of it when it's offside, it's offside. You know that, that's, and then sometimes it's a toe or it's a nose or whatever. And but when you go back, you know, 10 seconds and you're re refereeing the game, that, that's where we've gone too far. And it makes it far too easy for, for the conspiracy theorists to say, all right, what's really going on here? Because some, some teams get the, the favoritism, some teams don't. And then you re referee these situations, you look at them in slow motion, of course it looks worse and they're not, they say it's in the rules, that they're not allowed to do that, but they do it any anyway. So it's, it's getting to be quite a mess. I hope they fix it.

[Dan Patrick]

Eric Winoldo, host of Winoldo Talks Football Sirius xmfc, played on three World cup teams also runs the Wynaldis soccer academy for 16, 17 year olds. I'm sure you're well aware. Kevin Frazier from Entertainment Tonight last week when we are in Tahoe.

[Marvin]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Late into Alexi Lawless and our soccer program here, give me your thoughts on what it's too long to play in this segment, but I get it.

[Eric Winolda]

I, I know Kevin, I mean, look, he's kind of in the same boat that we, we're all in right now. We just want, we, we just want our soccer team to be better than what we are. We want to go further than 16th in the, in, in a competition like this. And when, when, and I worked for Fox so I can raise my hand and say I'm no longer there. Mainly because I didn't subscribe to the idea that I have to say something stupid every day to get everybody all fired up. I, I, I didn't want to do it and I'm not there anymore, which is fine. Now Lex and I are still very good friends. I text message with him yesterday. He knows what he's doing and I don't think he cares what Frey says. But what we should, we should. I think our soccer community is far too intelligent for, for him in that position to go on that stage and say some of those things as if he's just, it's just going to float, float away and pop somewhere else. It's not, it's not the, the state of our country, our country is far more intelligent as a soccer nation.

[Dan Patrick]

But compare the academies in Europe. Like, what would you do if you were going to make us formidable starting

[Eric Winolda]

I'm already Doing it, Dan. I'm already doing it. I have my own team. I pick my own, you know, group of rock stars that are not in the system, and we go beat MLS teams that's, you know, and then they go, whoa, where'd you find these guys? And I said, well, maybe it. Maybe it's a little bit. You're not looking under enough rocks, or maybe you don't know what you're looking at in the first place. First place. But if everybody wants to solve the soccer problem, let me just do it.

[Dylan]

You ready?

[Eric Winolda]

This is how easy this is. The rest of the world spends all of their time trying to find the talent, and then they eliminate the untalented, and they thin the herd pretty quick. And so the best soccer players at the age of 16 and 17 in Europe or France or Germany, wherever it is, are playing. And then they have the ability to tell those folks that aren't good enough, no, don't. Don't play anymore. Go do something else. America is trying to figure out how to increase the numbers, which is not helping to grow the game. And again, more people are playing soccer than ever before. That's not good, especially if we're talking about two teams. And let's say eight of them can do it and eight of them can't, right? What service are those players who aren't talented enough to be on that field, but have been told they are and they're paying for that instruction, that this is somehow going to work out for you? Some say, oh, it didn't work out. Give me another thousand dollars and we'll see you next month. And that continues. So these. These. These players who are being. Who are holding on to hope and a dream that they're going to someday miraculously become an international talent. It's a lie. And I feel bad for those. Those. Those kids because they're being told that they're going to be something that they're not, and they're paying through the nose to try and get somewhere that they're never going to get. And the rest of the world doesn't do that, Dan. We just basically say, no. That's my professional opinion. Go do something else. You're 16. And go do something else for it's too late. That kid who's 16 and is untalented in America will stay all the way until the collegiate process, make a determination of whether I want to go to college or be a pro, and then it just fizzes out. We don't identify our real talent, package them together, even though we Have a national team. I think I could put together a group of 16, 17 year olds and beat our national team. That's just me. Maybe I'm being arrogant, I don't know. But I think we just don't do it the right way. We involve way too many people. We charge too many people when we should be thin in the herd, finding the talent and locking in on that. If we ever did that, Dan, we'd win the World Cup.

[Dan Patrick]

You bring up. And you mentioned money a few times. I think that's the key with a lot of this is we want to keep you in the system, keep paying the money. The number of parents that I heard from after Kevin Frazier was really remarkable because they said, look, we don't know what to do. And we want, you know, we're on a traveling team, we're spending all this money. And, you know, I still want to know, like, Kevin was bringing up, you know, the inner city kid. They can't afford this. Like, how do you find those? You know, look where they found Messi. He was nowhere. You know, all of a sudden you're like, oh, this kid, you know, he's 12, will sign him, you know, contract on a bar napkin. We don't have those stories. It feels like this is a little too controlled, the money aspect, right? And once again, I'm on the outside looking in. But my questions, you know, may be obvious, but I'm still looking for those answers of how do we make this better instead of doing the same thing. Because, you know, when Kristen Pulisic says, hey, this is just the start. It's not the start. No, we just start over. It's Groundhog Day every four years, right?

[Eric Winolda]

And that's usually you and I when you call me every four years, then we rehash this thing. I'm so honored to be on the show twice in a month, by the way. This is great.

[Marvin]

I'm a.

[Eric Winolda]

And I see you guys every day, by the way. So, Todd, hopefully I get to spend some time on the couch. Maybe you could help me out with that. That sounds like a good idea.

[Todd]

We would love that.

[Eric Winolda]

I think we should. I think we could solve a lot of problems. But, look, this is what I do now. And I listen to other people. I listen to the Landon Donovans of the world, you know, criticize everything and say, oh, we're doing this wrong. We're doing this wrong. Landon Donovan has absolutely zero experience at the youth level, so he needs to kind of temper his. His. You have to know what you're talking about before you talk about it.

[Dan Patrick]

That's.

[Eric Winolda]

That's my number one rule. My academy is all about finding that kid who can't afford it or is just super talented and isn't aware of how talented they are. And I try to put them in environments where they can grow. It's also a problem that upon the elevated, that moment of discovery also is in this country, unfortunately, the moment of the destruction of the soul of the player. Because the second that they find you, they try to turn you into something that you're not. And that's not what I do. My whole man, I did put my money where my mouth is. I pay for this. These kids don't pay for anything. I take them to the opportunities door and I knock it down. And it's been great. The response has been wonderful. You go to a place you wouldn't expect. You know where Bochum is, but that's my old club. And I put a group of 16, 17 year olds on a plane for one game. Flew all the way to Germany to play these. And I explained to them this is what a professional environment looks like. And these guys are going to try and hurt you if you don't jump. So get ready. And we won the game for nothing. And their take on this and all the scouts that were at the game were like, where the hell do you find these guys? It's not that we don't have talent, it's just that we don't know what to do with it once we find it. And that's, that's part of the system systemic problem that we have. But it's, it's just nobody wants to talk about it. Nobody wants to hear somebody say we made fewer people playing. Nobody wants to hear that. But it's the truth.

[Dan Patrick]

One word answer here. England or Argentina?

[Eric Winolda]

England. And I. I know, I know.

[Dan Patrick]

It's okay.

[Eric Winolda]

Something's going on with Argentina. Their luck's run out. And I love Jude Billingham. I loved it. Just do some research on the guy. The guy's a. He's a great human being. And then we don't have enough of them. So I'm rooting for that guy today.

[Dan Patrick]

Great to talk to you again, Eric.

[Eric Winolda]

Great to talk to you.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know if it'll be four years. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know if it's.

[Eric Winolda]

I'm going to be on the couch in a couple of days with Todd, so we'll figure it out.

[Dan Patrick]

Eric Winolda, host of Winolda, talks Football, Sirius xmfc, and has his soccer academy as well, played on three World cup teams. I love the passion, but I think we all want answers. We want to know what the system. Is the system rigged? And if so, how do we unrig it? How do we make it so you know exactly what you're getting into? And I think that's part of the problem that parents have. Like, we signed up. We don't know. Like, even now, if you want to make a splash in college basketball, get on an AAU team. It's not about high school. It's about aau. These coaches go to the AAU games. They, they all congregate there. They're not going to high school games. They're going to aau. Because when you go to aau, I'm seeing you against that guy. I'm seeing AJ Debanza against Darren Peterson. Now I can get some answers. We'll take a break. Back after this.

[Jake Brennan]

I'm Jake Brennan, and on the Disgraceland Podcast, I explore the wild lives of rock stars and unbelievable true crime stories from music history. These are the stories you haven't heard, the kind you'll end up telling someone else. Like the time Paul McCartney spent in one of the world's most notorious prisons. Imagine that you're Paul McCartney. It's 1980, you're an ex Beatle, and you're doing time in one of Japan's worst prisons right there alongside Yakuza gangsters. And for a ridiculous charge or the bizarre crime Lady Gaga is accused of. Who is the artist Lady Gaga is being accused of doing the unthinkable to after allegedly stealing her music in style to become famous. And what about that time Blondie's Debbie Harry escaped a serial killer? The man who had given her that ride she barely escaped from was Ted Bundy.

[Dan Patrick]

There have been teams. Spain in 2010, two goals. Italy allowed two goals in 2006. France in 1998, two goals as well this is seven games. Spain has allowed one goal so far. That was to Belgium in the quarterfinals. So far, yes.

[Dylan]

Dylan, it is crazy that we're here now. After Spain tied Cape Verde in that first game, 00, everyone's like, Spain is just.

[Dan Patrick]

I know, you're right. That's a great point there. A couple of phone calls. I thought Eric Winaldo was great. I love the passion. It's like when Kevin Frazier came on, he had passion. When Eric is saying, we need less players, let's find the best players. So much of this and it's bottom line with travel teams is money. The money it takes for you to have your child be able to play, but also they kind of keep you in the system and you keep paying. You're funding all of this. And I think that's what Eric is saying. I think that's what Kevin Frazier was saying. And Kevin has a son who's 9. And he's saying, you know, this is crazy. And he called out Alexi Lawless. And yes, we have reached out to Alexi Lawless numerous times to have him come on because I wanted to be fair. Because Kevin Frazier took him to the woodshed. He was invited, chose not to. That's fine. But we wanted to make sure we reached out to him in case he had something to say. Andrew in Atlanta. Hi, Andrew. What do you have for me today?

[Marvin]

What's up? DP in the danhad some Be quick. Going back to your baseball question. Yesterday I had my 23rd surgery from playing sports. And DP, my team trainer playing college ball in 2002 had you on the radio. So I started listening to you back then during physical therapy and recovery. And you've made the steps a lot better. And back then, my hitting coach was Ray Knight, the 86th MVP of the world Series.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Marvin]

And only was an all Star two times.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I had a lot of fun with Ray Knight when he worked at the mothership as an analyst. Tough guy, tough guy. Remember the play at third base? Eric Davis slid in and he got up in Ray Knight space. And Ray Knight, former Gold Glove boxer. And that was a quick little shot to Eric Davis just to remind him, don't do that. Corey in Kansas City. Hi, Corey. What do you have for me?

[Marvin]

Hey, good morning, Mr. Patrick, to you and the boys. Marv Wu Tang forever. Costas. Writing the forward of your book would probably start with hello, losers. Anyways, quick comment from yesterday on favorite stand up comic and a thought on the World cup favorite stand up ever, Mitch Hedberg. If you've never heard of him. He is the king of the random one liners. Like for instance I'd like to see a forklift lift to create a forks. It would be so damn literal. Great comic. May he rest in peace. Regarding the World cup though. Being in a host city has been getting a ton of love worldwide. Like I've never been more proud to be where I live. From more or less being the home base of the Argentina fans to one of the coolest things you will ever see is the pictures and the clips of the Dutch Orange march to the match then went through downtown. Casey largest ever on US soil with an estimated 35,000 people.

[Dan Patrick]

I loved it. I've loved the countries man, how the United States has opened their doors literally to them and allowed them to be themselves. That's the key.
