Bob Costas
Hi, I'm Sam Mullins and I've got a new podcast coming out called goboy. The Gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable. Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted. Has spent 24 of those years in jail. But when Roger Caron picked up a pen and paper, he went from an ex con to a literary darling. From Campside Media and iHeart Podcasts, listen to GoBoy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox sports radio, hour two on this beat Friday. Gangs all here ready to go. King of comedy, Fritzi. You got Marvin. Paulie Seon Paulie is sporting an eye patch here. And is this a, Is this a new look for you? It's just a one day or a one day or a little treatment?
Dan Patrick
Last night I was a procedure.
Bob Costas
I actually asked.
Dan Patrick
It was not surgery.
Bob Costas
Okay.
Dan Patrick
I had a little procedure last night.
Bob Costas
Okay. In the hot lights are little. Okay. Sporting the eye patch here. Becoming all right. Very pirate of you.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, like a plaid pirate.
Bob Costas
By the way, the Pirates fired their manager. His name is Derek Shelton. You might not be aware of his name, but I think he'd been there six years. I don't know what they expect. You know, you have a smaller market and you have an owner wants to turn a profit. Roster is not great. You got a couple of players who are going to be really good for somebody else. But if you look at what the Pirates, they had 61, 62, 76, 76 wins. And then now tracking towards a 51 win season, they got a couple of players. You got Paul Skeens on there, but I don't know what you expect. I'm trying to think the last time that they finished better than.500. When's the last time they made the playoffs? They don't even come close to finishing over.500. The Pirates have won 80 games in a season four times since 1992. Only the Royals have compiled more losses in the 21st century.
Jay Shetty
This is the status that in the.
Dan Patrick
Day.
Bob Costas
And I don't think ownership has signed a free agent to a multi year con contract since December of 2017. You know, they can develop players, but it's not a destination for free agents and you just don't have enough good players there. I can't say the team underperformed. I, I don't know if they're good enough to perform and I don't know what he's supposed to do in a situation like this. Yeah, Paulie.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Bob Costas
The Pirates have made the playoffs again three times since 1992. Here's a thought. Paul Skeens, now I know he's good.
Dan Patrick
For publicity and attendance. One out of every five games. Would you trade Paul Skeens early while.
Bob Costas
He'S max value and redo your whole.
Dan Patrick
Farm, your whole farm club and have a chance to have a young base.
Bob Costas
Of talent to maybe score one of.
Dan Patrick
Those Florida Marlins type runs?
Bob Costas
I can't think any other way. They're competitive. I don't know what's important to ownership there. Do you want to win? Do you want to spend money? Do you want to spend more money than you're comfortable spending it? You know, it's such a great baseball city that ballpark's great, views are great. You know, you go to downtown, walk across the bridge. Uniforms. I mean, they, they, they. And I, look, I grew up hating the Pirates because they were so great in the 70s. You know, I could pretty much run down the starting lineup with Manny Sanguin and Al Oliver and Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell, Bob Roberts and. And Gene Alley, Rennie Stennett, Bob Veal, John Candelaria, Kent to Calvi. I mean, they. Who was it? Bob Moose? Was he another pitcher on that team? Dave Justy, I think was the closer there. You know, they had great baseball players and it was a great baseball town. But, you know, it's, it's the haves and the have nots. You almost should separate and say, all right, if you're only going to spend this amount of money, then you're going to be playing in this league. You know, maybe you have relegation, maybe, maybe there's a group that you have. These are the, these are the teams that are in Triple A. Ish. And then you have, you know, maybe somebody's really good and they win and then they can move up and then somebody moves down. Maybe you have something like that, but I don't know what you expect out of some of these smaller markets, mid market teams. And I don't know if there's full disclosure on what. What are you spending? How much are you making? That's what I always want to know. And I always said with certain organizations and the Cincinnati Bengals, there should be a minimum spend. Like you must spend at least this. And there are owners, they're fine, they're fine owning a team. The value goes up. Maybe you're not winning anything and you're getting a profit. But Pirates have fired their manager. It's been a while since we've had somebody fired this soon. I think it was the Cincinnati Reds. Maybe who fired their manager like 18 or 19 games in a few years ago. All right, you got the Timberwolves. They take game two. And the series now goes back to Golden State. The Cavs at the Pacers tonight, Thunder at the Nuggets. Poll question for hour two is going to be what? Seaton, by the way, good morning. Morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates around the country numbering over 400 cities that carry the program. All right, Seaton, we got up there right now.
Jay Shetty
Whose career do you want?
Dan Patrick
Spike Lee, Bob Costas, Mark Messier.
Bob Costas
Okay, let's guess the results. Guess the results. Spike Lee, Bob Costas, Mark Messier. I'm going to say, as Todd likes to do, I'm going to say, Todd, just say the answer. Bob Costas, Spike Lee, Mark Messier. That's your order. Yeah. Why do you think Bob Costa's first?
Dan Patrick
First?
Bob Costas
I think people can look at that and go, that's a good job. You know, he's got to cover all these events. You get to wear suit and tie. Your hair is combs, you know, seems easy. Yeah. Long longevity. So I'd say, I'd say Bob Costas. Bob Costa says 47 of the vote right now. Okay.
Jay Shetty
That's a shockingly high number to me. Okay, Mark Messier is in second, but very close.
Bob Costas
Him, him and Spike Lee are basically tied at second. Okay, but Costas, I mean, running away with it. Yeah, but I think people look at that and go, I, I would want to do that job. Or I could do that job. And he's been everywhere, done everything. And he'll be on the show coming up in about 15 minutes from now.
Jay Shetty
He will.
Bob Costas
Yes, he will. He will. Yes, he will. By the way, if you miss Spike Lee, he was great. First hour. It was a lot of fun. Ready to go Saturday afternoon, Knicks, Celtics. Chris in Syracuse. Hi, Chris. What's on your mind today?
Dan Patrick
Hey, thanks, Dan. Hey, a couple comments off your Spike Lee interview. I thought it was a great question on second best sequel on the movies of all time, besides behind Godfather and.
Bob Costas
I gotta go Rocky too.
Dan Patrick
And you know, I always wondered why in Jungle Fever why Spike went with Wesley Snipes over his guy Denzel.
Bob Costas
Well, I don't know if there was some kind of scheduling issue with Denzel. I don't know. He's picked Denzel for what, five movies, including the latest one coming out this August. Yes, Paul, I have a couple more high end sequels.
Dan Patrick
Terminator 2, Judgment Day is as good or better.
Bob Costas
Than the first. Okay. It's right there. Aliens, the sequel to Alien. Remember Sigourney Weaver in that big thing.
Dan Patrick
Beating up the bad guy?
Bob Costas
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
That's pretty great too.
Bob Costas
Those are pretty high end sequels. Yeah. Not a sequel guy. Mostly bad. Yeah. I don't. And I get it. You know, Hollywood lacks creativity and they, they don't want to take chances. And they're like, all right, that made this kind of money. Let's do it again. Come up with a different script. Yes.
Jay Shetty
I don't know if it counts as a sequel because it's kind of the.
Bob Costas
Next in the story. Empire Strikes Back, Star wars is a pretty great one. Okay.
Jay Shetty
That's a really good one. But I don't know if it's. Those are kind of. It's a story that you tell, you.
Bob Costas
Know, So I have to see the first one, I guess, to appreciate the second one. You haven't seen either Star wars movie? No.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Bob Costas
It's definitely too late to do that now. It is.
Jay Shetty
It is. It is.
Bob Costas
It doesn't.
Jay Shetty
It's not going to hit.
Bob Costas
It doesn't hold up.
Jay Shetty
No.
Bob Costas
Okay.
Jay Shetty
No.
Bob Costas
All right. Yes. Marvin for Jungle Fever. Denzel was. Was considered, but Spike went with Wesley Snipes. And Spike Lee asked Martin Scorsese to be in the film, but he declined. And Marisa Tomei turned down the role of Angie Tucci, the female lead, because of her schedule and conflicts with a little movie called My Cousin Vinnie. Good call. Yeah. Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Paul, you know, the Bourne movies never trailed off.
Bob Costas
They have some consistency.
Dan Patrick
I. I can't remember all the names of them. The Bourne Identity afterwards. But they, they stayed pretty steady for all those sequels.
Bob Costas
That was a great movie. Yeah. You know, the bummer is the Jeremy Renner one. And Jeremy Renner is a great actor, but he's not born. He's not. He's not Jason Bourne.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Jay Shetty
They should have had it be like somebody else, but also part of Treadstone.
Bob Costas
Yes. You know, once again, that movie's on any of the movie. Bourne Identity movies I'm watching. I don't care where it is. Be right at the end, right at the beginning, right in the middle. Doesn't matter. Always great. Let me see Lucas in Texas. Hi, Luke. What's on your mind today?
Khloe Kardashian
Hey, Dan.
Bob Costas
Good morning. Good morning. You know, as you've already mentioned in your Spike Lee interview, we have a new pope, an American Pope. And I've got a couple quick things for you. A question and an observation. First up, my question, somewhat rhetorical, but how long until Fritzi Inappropriately reaches out.
Dan Patrick
To the Vatican to talk about something related to Villanova sports.
Bob Costas
That's my first one and my second one. This is more of an observ. It was really a cool moment to see Pope Leo walk out yesterday to the cheers of the audience. What was a little unexpected and Marvin, you'll appreciate this is that if you play it back, you can actually hear a small crowd of Americans waving flags and singing Rough Rider anthem by dmx. So I think we all know what our song is on the international stage now whenever we get a big win. So let's go, boys. Wow. Yeah, that was a big deal. American Pope, Chicago based, White Sox fan, Jordan fan. I think there were memes that were out there with the Jordan logo, the jump man on the his robe. Fritz, he did come up with a Pope Leo the 14th song. Todd, you want to explain this? I was just thinking about, you know, the Pope and I like to always think of song parodies and things like that. And I'm like, you know what? There was Duran Duran's Rio back In, I think, 1982. I know that was 43 years ago. I don't want to skew too old. And I started singing a couple lines in my head while I was like brushing my teeth and I thought I had a little something that I can kind of put together with Pope Leo off of Rio, a big hit song by Duran Duran. Okay. Okay, I'm ready. Let's go. Let's see what you got. His name is Leo and he wears the papal crown he's bringing peace and love all through our Roman town and when he prays with us we're filled with so much hope O Leo, Leo yes, we have a brand new Pope. He's from Chicago. Put him in the owner's box. He'll bless the Cubbies. But he really loves the socks. You know, The Pope won't quit until his work is done. He may be the 14th, but to.
Jay Shetty
Us he's number one.
Bob Costas
Respectful. I think I know the answer, but I'm still going to ask it for the audience. Have you reached out to the Vatican to have Pope Leo join us? It's funny that that was mentioned because late last night before we went to bed, I said, I wonder how many steps it would take to actually get the Pope on the show and would he be willing to come on and do a zoom? He's a Chicago guy and sports fan and I'm still looking into it. I don't have any direct contact yet, but there's a secretary for the President Here. And there's got to be a way to get a message his way.
Dan Patrick
It may take many, many steps, but.
Bob Costas
We'Re certainly going to give it a shot. Why not? Yeah. How great would that be? Yes. All right. Jonah in Colorado. Hey, Jonah. Long time. First time. I am. 5, 10, 160. I wanted to talk about yesterday. You and the boys were talking about some of the greatest songs that are associated with college football teams. And I wanted to say, y' all, miss Dixie Land Delight at Alabama. Well, Alabama's got a couple of them. Yeah, but the one we're really known for, the one you see the, you know, cool hype videos of, that's Dixie Land Delight right after the start of the fourth quarter. Oh, okay. Not familiar with that, but thank you, Jonah.
Jay Shetty
It shows how known they are for it, I guess.
Bob Costas
Wow. Chemo in Virginia Beach. Hi, Chemo. Welcome back. Hey, Danny. Oh, God, I can't control my phone. Thanks for calling, but. And congrats on. Yeah, I mean, because you and Spike, you know, that was just. That's just classic good Danny Patrick stuff. And.
Dan Patrick
And I can't believe the poll question.
Bob Costas
Was so perfect, but I'm. I'm confused about your answer. Spike is a man. All his accolades, and then we all want to be moved, right? We got to be moose. So that leads us to who is last? Danny, when you greet Bob, just you give him hello, loser. Thank you, Kima. No, that's what he calls me when I didn't win the sports Emmy. Hello, loser. Yeah, but you know what? Sick. Give us a Dan. Quizzing me about dizza and picastas. It's Friday. Sorry, that was. Wow. Did I mention what we're having for meat Friday?
Jay Shetty
A classic combo.
Bob Costas
Yeah, I would never put these two together. A classic combo. A jumbo crab cake sandwich, smoked turkey clubs, surf and turf. Hello. And coleslaw. Classic. Who has it better than we do?
Dan Patrick
No. No.
Bob Costas
Okay. Which are you more excited about? I'm going to say the smoked turkey club. Me, too.
Jay Shetty
Me, too.
Bob Costas
Yeah. Todd, what about you? I'm going turkey club. Yeah. Paul, Crab cake. Yeah. Marvin, crab cake. Okay, I'm not possible. Hot take. Not a big crab cake guy. Crabtree, I was talking about you, Crab tree. I was talking about you. Classic. Who's talking about you? Crabtree? All right, let me. Let me take. Come on, let's go. Let's clean up. All right.
Jay Shetty
Come on.
Bob Costas
Way to be. We're gonna take a break. We're back after this.

But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this?

More phone calls coming up. 877-3DP show operator Tyler sitting by Mark Messier will join us coming up next hour. If you miss Spike Lee or any interviews, you can go to danpatrick.com he's Bob Costas, the Hall of Famer. He will visit the 92nd Street Y in New York City this Sunday. That'll be May 11th at 7 and a. Well, a potpourri of topics I'm sure over his 40 plus years in the business and online and in person. Tickets available at 92ny.org Bob, how are you today?
Dan Patrick
I'm good, Dan. And rest assured, I will not make a penny off whatever the 92nd Street Y accrues from this appearance.
Bob Costas
Okay.
Dan Patrick
They do, they do great stuff there. Not to belabor it, you could actually see someone in conversation with Larry David or Paul Simon, that kind of thing. And now I guess they've dipped down in rank. They didn't have anybody else for Mother's Day night. So it's me this time.
Bob Costas
Pirates have fired their manager.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Bob Costas
And I'm wondering could you do a two tiered system and maybe have. And it's the haves and the have nots. Could you do relegation maybe where, you know, bottom half team, maybe they move up or what? I mean, what are you supposed to do in Pittsburgh once great baseball town.
Dan Patrick
You know, the only thing that brings to mind that would be comparable. Remember, I'm old enough to remember you were a younger child if you were here at all. But in 1967 or whatever it was when the NHL expanded, you had the original six and all the expansion teams went into one division, six and six. And that actually sparked a hockey craze in St. Louis because the Blues were the worst of that second, I'm sorry, the best of that second division. And they went to the Stanley cup finals twice and acquitted themselves well even though they lost. So that's the only comparable thing I can think of. But here, I think is the real answer. If you're the Pittsburgh Pirates and if you're a long suffering fan, and you're right, they have a great baseball history. They have one of the best ballparks in the major leagues and they flounder constantly. Think about this though, dan. There are 10 teams in the two central divisions in the major leagues. Only one of them is in the top half of payrolls. That's the Cubs at 10th. Next is the Tigers at 17th. Half of the six playoff teams last year in the American League came from the AL Central. The Tigers, the Royals and the Guardians and the Twins, who have now had the trapdoor open on them. But the Twins were barely outside that group. They were alive in the last week. Other than the Cubs in theory, who is going to greatly outspend the Pirates in the National League Central? One of the things that mitigates the admittedly large payroll gaps in the major leagues is the third wild card. You know, whether you like it or not, you can say, hey, if we can win 85, 86 games, we got a chance to get into the postseason. And the history shows even the Dodgers, they lost to the Padres two, three years ago. They lost to the Diamondbacks and they were down to one to the Padres last year before they rallied to win the Division Series. It, it's not a guarantee that the best teams and the highest payroll teams make it through to the World Series if you can just get into that tournament. So I don't want to be harsh, but what's the Pirates excuse? They play a huge percentage of their games within the National League Central with other teams that aren't running away from them payroll wise. And you've got a second and third wild card. You don't have an excuse to be this bad this consistently for this long.
Bob Costas
Yeah. And I don't know what, you know, Derek Shelton was supposed to do, you know, yeah, you do have a couple of players and we tend to look at these teams. Some of these teams, we go, boy, who's he going to be with his next contract? You know, Paul Schemes is not Going to retire a Pittsburgh Pirate, which.
Dan Patrick
No, he's not.
Bob Costas
It's a shame, but, you know, that's just modern day baseball here.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, it is. You know, on the other hand, if Derek Chilton was lucky enough to have management like the Colorado Rockies have, and this is not a knock on Bud Black at all. Bud Black is a very respected baseball guy as a pitching coach and as a manager, and he had the Rockies in the playoffs several years ago. But they start out with no chance. They leave spring training with no chance, but they don't have the benefit, if you want to call it that, of being in a weaker division. They're in a division where the other four teams vary from good to very, very good. And they're playing a huge number of their games in that division and they're like 180 games out. Even though it's only 102 game season.
Bob Costas
They got six wins so far.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Bob Costas
I was wondering about the timing of Shohei Otani coming back to pitch. And if, if you're the Dodgers, you don't want to push this. And if you're Ohtani, I know that that's your identity, but still, I mean, there's a re. A real risk here. If I'm the Dodgers, I don't want to lose you as a hitter and having you as a pitcher. I may not need you as much as a pitcher, but I don't know if Ohtani's locked in and says, hey, but this is who I am. I'm the two way player and I want to continue to do this.
Dan Patrick
I think there is an element and it's part of what leads him to sign with whatever team he signs with. Obviously the Dodgers had the greater financial wherewithal and were able to structure the deal that worked. But part of it is I want to do both. So I don't think they can deny him that. But they do have this luxury, whatever it is. The Dodgers are a great organization, but they have injuries to their pitching staff every year. Every team does, but they have them out of all proportion. They'll start out with 10 guys, all of whom could be at least some team's rotation. Now, now four of them are healthy, and even when we get to October, we're throwing bullpen games in the playoffs. So I don't know what, what they're doing with their medical staff or their training staff, but at least they have this. They're so good even in that division that they can slow walk a lot of guys. Clayton Kershaw threw like 6, 7 perfect innings the other night in the, in the minor leagues. They're slow walking him back, and who knows, he may be a reliever for them rather than a starter. And maybe the answer for Ohtani is we don't want you to go out there looking to throw six innings, which is the modern complete game. Maybe we use you out of the bullpen and that's the way to do it. But they have the luxury of knowing they're going to be in October, be playing in October, and just trying to pull it all together by then. They don't have to pull it all together by the All Star break.
Bob Costas
Talking to hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Costas, who haven't you interviewed or who have you interviewed you'd like maybe another sit down with.
Dan Patrick
Well, you know, the Holy Grail has always been Sandy Koufax in sports. Sandy was always very, very gracious to me. I asked him a couple of times, this goes back more than 20 years, and he never had someone else make the call. He always called me back personally, and he said, if I ever do it, I'll do it with you. And after a while, I began to realize I'm at the front of a line that never moves. Thanks for the nice thought, Sandy. But he did do one thing with us, and I thought he might, for this specific reason. All Star Game in Cincinnati a decade ago, and they named the Mount Rushmore of living baseball players, and it was Willie, Hank, Johnny Bench and Koufax. And I said, sandy, if it's just the four of you and you're talking amongst yourselves, will you do it? And he did. And he was great in that sit down. Anecdotal joking with the guys. You could see they were energized. And all I had to do was just toss it out there and then sit back and let them talk among themselves. So I think Koufax would be one of the guys in sports. You know, Jack Nicholson, who's in the winter of his years now and seldom appears in public, but Jack Nicholson, fascinating guy, enormous star for 30, 40 years. He always said, I don't do television interviews. I'm a movie star. Leave your house, you go into a darkened theater, you pay your money, the phone doesn't ring, and you sit there and watch me on a big screen. Why do I want to be sitting with Johnny Carson while you're looking through your toes as you're lying in bed? But I'm not going to do that. It diminishes the mystique. So the only time you saw him on television Regularly was sitting courtside at a Laker game. So it brings me to this 1992 NBA Finals, Portland against the Bulls. And Nicholson is shooting Hoffa on site in Chicago. So he's Jack Nicholson. He can get good seats. They weren't at half court. They were on the baseline underneath one of the baskets. And Dick Ebersol and Terry o' Neill were the producers. They spot him there and I'm not calling the games. Marv is calling the games. I'm upstairs at the old Chicago Stadium to do the pregame and the halftime. So they say, bob, do you know Jack Nicholson well? I've met him. I don't know him that well. Go down and ask him if he'll come on at halftime. I'm like, this is the greatest fool's errand of all time. Don't you know that Johnny Carson just left the Tonight Show? And he wouldn't go on the last month with Johnny Carson when people were lined up around the block to make one more appearance. Go down. You owe it to us. Go. Okay, fine. So I schlep myself down and I wait for the four minute timeout and I walk up behind him. Dan, I swear, I tap him on his right shoulder and he turns around like this. And the first glimpse of him is like the first time you see him in the shining face. And then he softens a little bit and he goes, I wish I could do a decent. He goes, oh, hi, Bob. Jack, just play along here. They're watching. I'm supposed to ask you if you'll come on with us. And I swear this is what he said verbatim, except I'm editing One word. Bobby. Bobby, you're a nice kid. You do good work. How can I put this? No effing way.
Bob Costas
Jack.
Dan Patrick
I'll take that as a no. Enjoy the rest of the game. Now I got a whole asshole back in time for the halftime.
Bob Costas
At least. He was very respectful.
Dan Patrick
Yes, he was.
Bob Costas
I told my audience to keep an eye on this because I think there's something there. When President Trump got together with baseball commissioner Rob Manfred and this Pete Rose situation, it feels like this is something that Donald Trump wants to happen to at least get Pete on the ballot. And I think there's other things that play that the commissioner may want or need from the President as well. I think Pete's going to get on the ballot at some point. It feels like. What do you think?
Dan Patrick
Two things here. First, the ballot part. In theory, they'd have to put him directly into a veterans committee. Unless they change their rule.
Bob Costas
Okay.
Dan Patrick
Because anyone who is more than 15 years removed from having played can't be on the ballot. And of course, if you were on the ballot for 10 years, then you wait a little while and they throw you into a veterans committee. Now, if they're going to take Pete off the restricted list or whatever it is, the ineligible list, then in theory they could also say, wait a minute, he was never on the writer's ballot, let's have the writers vote on it, rather than 16 people in a veterans committee situation. By the way, if you're going to take Pete off on that basis, would you consider taking Shoeless Joe Jackson off on that basis? He was briefly on the writer's ballot and didn't make it, but you could put him up for consideration, too. But those were signs to your point. I don't know the specifics. I haven't talked with Commissioner Manfred about it. But you know, baseball has an antitrust exemption. The Trump administration seems quite willing to interpret things their own way so or to pursue certain legal actions that others would not. So the antitrust exemption is important to baseball. It protected them greatly before they finally, Marvin Miller and company finally broke through and got rid of the reserve clause. But it still has some value to them. And then who knows? And I'm only speculating here, I'm not saying it's true, but obviously there are a great many foreign players in Major League baseball. Does Trump's immigration policy perhaps in some way affect their comings and goings? I'm not saying it does, but these are all things that perhaps Manfred and Trump would be discussing.
Bob Costas
Yep, that's how I see it. I think it's going to happen. At least, you know, Pete posthumously is going to be on a ballot, whether it's the veterans or, you know, they decide to put him on the regular ballot. The writers bound Good to talk to you again. Have fun this weekend. Thank you, buddy. That's Bob Costas, 92nd Street Y in New York City. That'll be 7 Eastern.

An arm wrestling matchup?
Bob Costas
I don't know, given the health of my shoulder, maybe not. But I mean, I would certainly try. I'd give it my all. I was Just curious. Say, I have an idea on how we can take care of Draymond Green. I think he's an awful basketball player. No, he's. He's a really good basketball player. He just has control issues. Well, I did a Google search for Kermit Washington, and kermit Washington is 73 years old, and I was thinking possibly front office folks at Minnesota Timberwolves could find a mod for one game. All right, thank you, Craig Kerman. Washington punched Rudy Tomjonovich. So I guess that's what Craig is getting to. Not funny. David in Ohio. Hi, David. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. You guys were talking about the Pope, and I think it's time for Jerry.
Dan Patrick
Jones to atone for his sins.
Bob Costas
Go to confessional, because we've had four popes since the last Cowboys super bowl victory. All right, thank you, Dave. He's Pablo touring ESPN commentator, contributor to around the Horn, pti. Pti. And Pablo Torrey finds out podcast Metal Arc Media. And apparently he found out a little more than we realized about what's going on with Bill Belichick and his girlfriend at North Carolina. Pablo, good to see you. What did you find out? What did Pablo Torre find out?
Jay Shetty
Dan, good to be with you. Really good to see you as well. I, on my show, for those not initiated, I take stupid things sometimes extraordinarily seriously. And so I spent months of my life in the Jordan Hudson rabbit hole. I talked to 11 people who dealt directly with her and a couple of things. Number one is that there was an enormous meeting at the University of North Carolina where the athletics department had to have a meeting with the football people and say that Jordan Hudson cannot be the face of our program anymore. She cannot be on the field, she cannot be around the building. She has taken too much when it comes to the airspace around how people think of the coach, the greatest coach in football history, arguably, who, when they hired him to be the highest paid coach in history. Well, forget about any present day North Carolina stats, just the highest paid public employee in the state of North Carolina right now. It was the opposite. Right? They had no idea this was coming. Everybody is now actively worried, including, I can also report, members of Bill Belichick's own family that a thing that takes decades to build, reputation premised on leadership and discretion and privacy and discipline and every other term that now feels like it's the opposite of what his reputation is now in his news cycle, they feel like that's being destroyed. And it's because he gave power the power to run his new media empire now that he has been freed from the NFL for the first time in decades. He gave that to a woman whose age has actually been misreported a lot. I also learned, but we can now say is actually today 24 years old.
Bob Costas
What's Bill's reaction, any public reaction to this?
Jay Shetty
It's hard to discern because she is the person who is on the emails, on the texts is often ghostwriting. So his reaction will be mediated, I believe, with her. I will point out that in New York City, where I live, on Wednesday, there was a talk that Bill gave to promote his book, the book that was disastrously, you could argue, non promoted at the CBS Sunday MORNING fiasco. He gave a talk and Jordan wasn't there. There might be something like a deliberate if not, not to borrow the terms of like another Hollywood separation, not quite a conscious uncoupling, but certainly a public difference in how they are presenting her omnipresence. And, and yeah, what I can tell you is that family members of Bill see this as something that is they, they have been investigating her too for a very long time.
Bob Costas
If the CBS interview doesn't play out like it did, do you think there's any change within North Carolina with her role with Bill?
Jay Shetty
The fascinating thing about Belichick is that he has this inner circle people who have insulated him as best they can from all of these concerns. Right. And so I'm going to say spoiler alert, answer to your question is no. And the reason is because he is a football creature with a bunch of frankly, yes men around him. Matt, Patricia, Josh McDaniels. That's how they were described to me, not my editorial judgment. And the CBS thing, Sept. Seeped has some septic but also seeping vibes to it. It got inside of his bubble, right. That book, the tabloid avalanche happening because she did something that and you know this Dan, a savvy PR person doesn't do actually, which is forget that she's on tape, on camera, on mic, interjecting. And I'm told also that yes, the reports are true, that there's 30 more minutes of her interrupting, taking control of an interview that was supposed to be, frankly, a puff piece, an extraordinarily positive thing about this book, about his leadership style which could then be transferred to non football people. That was the premise of it, ironically. That's what opened the floodgates, man. And at that point it became how do we deal with this? And at that point, lots of people realized now is our moment to say what we've been seeing behind the scenes, which is one of the crazier sagas, man. I haven't even gotten to some of the other stuff here. If I can just give you one brief anecdote just to help illustrate the point here. There was a commercial that Belichick was filming, a seven figure commercial, not the super bowl commercial, by the way, which we reported. Also, Jordan Hudson insinuated herself into by representing herself as his agent to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. A thing that Affleck and Damon still talk about to this day. By the way, that she was in that commercial, that she got paid, that they negotiated with her for Belichick. Separate commercial, earlier commercial for one of the podcasts he was doing. Seven figure shoot scripted. She shows up. She's not a person in the public view. No CBS interview yet. None of this stuff has happened. She shows up and she again wants to be in the commercial. And she's talking about how this would be a hard launch. That's the relationship term. I've been given a hard launch of their relationship. Public announcement. And she says, hold on, I have an idea. She leaves some time, passes the shoot actually ends. The real shoot, she comes back and she's wearing a yellow polka dot bikini and a sun hat. And she wants to film a scene where she is by the pool with Bill trying to get his attention. All of this, again, very on the nose, the meta and the real. But that happens. And everybody there is like, what do we do with this? Like, this is Bill Belichick is not betraying any emotional change. She's just going along with all of this because that's him. They're realizing, and they decide we need to do the thing where we tell her we're shooting a scene. They grab a camera guy and they proceed to shoot something that I am told they're not even sure the camera was on. They point a camera, they have her do something and they say, good.
Bob Costas
Yep, got it.
Jay Shetty
Good. And that's just what it's been like. That was at the beginning of her taking control of the media empire. Everything from there is sort of flowing kind of logically, once you hear about that.
Bob Costas
And I said this after the CBS interview, if Bill has any hopes of getting back into the NFL, this really hurts you because you're giving control to Bill. But are you giving control to Bill? And. And I would. There's no way an NFL team is going to go. You know, I think Bill, now's the time to bring him in. But in the final 30 seconds, what do you think is next in this story?
Jay Shetty
I think you're going to see people push back on the reporting out of North Carolina that I've said, which is that there was a power struggle in which the adults had to intervene. I think there will be disagreement about that. And I think that what is happening to my phone will continue to happen, which is that it will continue to melt. I signed up for this. I get it. Aggregation interviews like this are all great. I hope people listen to the episode. But I can tell you that everybody who's dealt with Jordan Hudson and one person said, quote, she is the worst person I've ever dealt with on earth. And I have dealt with actual sociopaths. I'm not saying that that is everybody. I'm just saying this story, Dan, is extreme. And there's a lot, including injectable erectile dysfunction drugs. As just a brief tease for what else we had to find out.
Bob Costas
Nice tease there. Great to talk to you. Thank you, Pablo.
Jay Shetty
As I always dreamed, Dan. As I always dream.
Bob Costas
Of course, Pablo. Tori. Pablo. Tory finds out. Podcast courtesy of Meadowlark Media. Oh, my goodness. There's a lot going on. A lot going on. I don't even know where to start with it. It's now. I'm not surprised. I had somebody who did work with them on a potential commercial or promotional shoot and it didn't work out, but they. They had problems because they were losing creative control. I'm going to dance around this a little bit, but I was given a heads up and in fact, I even told the Dan s. I don't know how many months ago that was, but that. That was a while ago where I was given a heads up at. If you want to do something with Bill, everything goes through her. And she's got creative control, man. All righty. Two hours in the books. I did not expect that story today, that's for sure. But we'll talk to Mark Messier. More phone calls coming up. It's a meet Friday. Fritz, he's here. Seaton's here. Marvin, Paulie, yours truly. Two hours in the books. We're going to try to do it one more hour. Who's with me? Let's go. We're here, everybody. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of the On Purpose podcast. And I'm excited for my next episode with Khloe Kardashian.

The Dan Patrick Show
Episode: HOUR 2 - Bob Costas, Pablo Torre
Release Date: May 9, 2025
Host: Dan Patrick
Guests: Bob Costas, Pablo Torre
In Hour 2 of The Dan Patrick Show, host Dan Patrick engages in an in-depth conversation with legendary sportscaster Bob Costas and sports journalist Pablo Torre. The episode delves into a range of topics from Major League Baseball dynamics to personal insights into Bill Belichick's off-field affairs.
Dan Patrick opens the discussion with Bob Costas about the recent firing of the Pittsburgh Pirates' manager, Derek Shelton.
Bob Costas:
"The Pirates have fired their manager after a prolonged period of underperformance. They've consistently fallen short, struggling to maintain a winning record despite having a rich baseball history and a passionate fan base." ([03:12])
The conversation highlights the Pirates' historical success contrasted with their current struggles, emphasizing the challenges faced by smaller market teams in competing with higher payroll franchises.
Key Points:
Dan Patrick:
"What's the Pirates' excuse for their consistent underperformance when competing in a division with teams that aren't significantly outspending them?" ([05:05])
Costas responds by dissecting the organizational shortcomings and the lack of strategic investment, questioning the future direction of the franchise.
The show features an interactive segment where listeners vote on whose career they admire the most among Spike Lee, Bob Costas, and Mark Messier.
Bob Costas:
"I'm going to say Bob Costas. People see my career as stable, covering a wide range of events, and maintaining longevity in the industry." ([08:15])
Costas expresses surprise at receiving 47% of the votes, followed closely by Mark Messier and Spike Lee. He reflects on the perception of his career's stability and versatility.
Notable Quote:
"They have to cover all these events. You get to wear a suit and tie. Seems easy." ([08:56])
The conversation transitions to the topic of film sequels, with Bob Costas sharing his views on their quality and impact.
Bob Costas:
"Sequels often lack creativity. While some, like Terminator 2 and the Bourne series, stand out, most don't live up to the originals." ([10:34])
The dialogue covers the success of high-quality sequels versus the general trend of studios favoring profitable but uninspired follow-ups.
Dan Patrick:
"Bourne movies have maintained consistency, unlike many other sequels that falter." ([12:00])
A significant portion of the episode addresses the ongoing debate surrounding Pete Rose's potential induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame and its political implications.
Bob Costas:
"With President Trump collaborating with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, there's a possibility Pete Rose might be reinstated onto the Hall of Fame ballot." ([35:24])
Dan Patrick:
"If Pete Rose is taken off the restricted list, it could set a precedent for other contentious figures like Shoeless Joe Jackson." ([36:08])
The discussion delves into the intricacies of MLB's Hall of Fame voting process, the impact of political influence, and the historical context of Pete Rose's candidacy.
Notable Quote:
"Baseball has an antitrust exemption that protects them, but political maneuvers could influence decisions like Pete Rose's eligibility." ([37:46])
In a candid segment, Pablo Torre shares revelations about Bill Belichick's personal life, specifically focusing on his relationship with Jordan Hudson and the ensuing media complications.
Pablo Torre:
"Jordan Hudson has been taking unprecedented control over Belichick's media presence, undermining his long-established reputation for leadership and discretion." ([47:26])
He discusses an incident where Hudson disrupted a commercial shoot with controversial behavior, raising questions about Belichick's autonomy and decision-making.
Bob Costas:
"Bill Belichick's relationship with Hudson is damaging his image and could jeopardize his standing within the NFL." ([48:26])
Torre elaborates on the internal struggles within the University of North Carolina's athletics department regarding Hudson's influence and the broader implications for Belichick's career.
Notable Quote:
"Belichick is insulated by his inner circle, but Hudson's overreach is creating a rift that's hard to mend." ([51:44])
Pablo Torre:
"The CBS interview fiasco was a turning point. Hudson's attempts to control the narrative exposed vulnerabilities in Belichick's management of his public persona." ([51:44])
The episode wraps up with reflections on the discussed topics, emphasizing the complexities of managing sports franchises, the impact of personal relationships on professional careers, and the evolving landscape of sports media.
Dan Patrick:
"Understanding these dynamics is crucial for fans and stakeholders alike as we navigate the future of sports leadership." ([53:03])
