Episode Overview

Hour two of The Dan Patrick Show delivers the signature blend of irreverent humor and deep sports talk. The hour begins with the disappointment of not landing a Sports Emmy nomination—countered, as always, with food (it’s Meat Friday!). The crew dives into a surprisingly thoughtful and funny conversation about funerals, what to be buried in, the funeral profession, and the rituals fans and athletes attach to sports. These topics alternate with insightful commentary on the NCAA Tournament, debate over the movement of college players versus coaches, and lively fan and Danette call-ins.

Yeah, Seon is I I said everybody can have a, a dog at the top of the hour. Next hour, if you want to have sausage and peppers or you'd like to have a chili dog, you can do that. And then after that we can try maybe the crab dip hot dogs and then we have the ice cream at the end of the show. But you gotta pace yourself today because normally we don't have any food until, you know, two hours and 40 minutes into the show. Okay, now let's focus. All right.

[C]

Yeah, we got a few of them up there right now. Which is worse on the court? Too many players are not enough. Not enough has 76% of that vote. How do you like your hot dogs? 74% of the audience have two toppings or less over three or more. Three or more is a little busy, I think. And are you going to be buried in your favorite team's gear? That's at 80%. No.

[A]

Okay. Marvin wants to be buried in his RIP Hamilton jersey. And does your wife know this?

[B]

She does now.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

She's listening.

[A]

Fritzi, what do you want to be buried in?

[F]

I want to be buried in not. I wouldn't wear Broncos or Astros or anything like that. I just want something respectful. Not in a tux or anything like that. I haven't really given any thought. These morbid conversations that we have. You know how much I love that. I'd have to give that some thought, but I would not wear, like, an Elway jersey or something. That would be very weird. I think.

[A]

Sweatpants, probably.

[F]

Sweatpants, for sure.

[A]

Yeah. All right.

[F]

But I guess you can do sweatpants. You can wear, like, Bronco Zubaz pants. And now I'm starting to spill into what I said I wouldn't do, but I think it would be weird if I had, like, a Carl Mecklenburg jersey and just some kind of Peyton Manning, John Elway Bronco outfit on.

[A]

I think it'd be weird if you didn't have that on.

[C]

What is it? The sweatpants? Like the body beach gym or whatever. What are the ones that you wear that. What's that, gold?

[A]

Yeah. You've been wearing those around. As if I'm going to be impressed. Like, no, I know multiple colors. Like, what about you, Seaton?

[C]

I'm a cremated guy. Oh, Yeah, I don't want to be buried. I want to be cremated.

[G]

Prepaid. Do you prepay?

[C]

Possibly. I'm ready. Just burn it up and spread it somewhere.

[A]

But do you want to be wearing something when you get cremated?

[C]

You know, I got. It's similar to Todd. I hadn't really thought of that. What I'd like to be burned up with.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

It very well could be a sports jersey, though.

[A]

What about you, Paulie?

[G]

I would guess suit and tie, Old school, classic, you know? Yeah, I don't know.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[G]

Suit and tie, I guess.

[A]

Yes. Todd.

[F]

What if. If you have that belief, whatever you wear that you're buried in, that's what you're going to be wearing forever in heaven? Does that play into, like. Is this. Whatever you're picking, that's gonna. You're gonna have your wings and that's gonna be your thing, and whatever you do for the rest of eternity, it's gonna be in that.

[A]

Yes, Marvin.

[B]

So that means I'm gonna be fresh at the Pearly Gates.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

St. Peter's gonna be like Rip Hamilton.

[F]

You, too.

[A]

That's right. Yes, Paul.

[G]

I wish I could tie my own tie for my funeral, though. I know how to. I know how to pop a knot, believe me.

[A]

I'm gonna guess that the funeral director is good at tying time.

[C]

Tied a few in his day.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

That could be a side job for me because I'm really good at tying ties. I would work at a funeral home.

[A]

I got a friend who runs a funeral parlor. And it's weird. Then I did my family tree, and I realized that somebody in my family tree, Great, great, great grandparents, they ran a funeral home. I don't even know anything about this. And. And when you're around my friend, his name is Kevin, and I can't help but ask him about this. And he's, you know, every day you got to come in and you got to be, you know, very nice, and you got to have that reverence and, you know, I'm so sorry. You know, and he always looks impeccable, the way he's dressed, great hair. And I just. I don't know if I could do that. Every day where you're going to work and, you know. You know, people are going to be sad unless you have, you know, celebration of life, you know, when somebody's in their 80s. Yes, Paul.

[G]

And if you own a funeral home, there. There's no down season, there's no off season where you could take a month off. It's not like you work in a

[A]

resort it's not like tax season and then all of a sudden nobody dies. Yes.

[C]

I knew a dude who was a funeral home, and we would be out at like, oh, so and so's 90th birthday, and it was like, you know, the basement of a Knights of Columbus. And it's like a big event or whatever. And he would walk around there and, like, you'd be standing at the bar or whatever. He'd go by and be like, a lot of money in here. Dang, dude. Yeah, it's like you have to have a twisted sense of humor. You don't have to, but I bet it helps to have a pretty good sense.

[A]

I think you. When my brother had. One of my brothers had a stroke when we're picking out my mom's coffin and my brother had a stroke and we make the joke with him now that the funeral director who was going to help us get a coffin for my mom was sizing up my brother to see what kind of coffin. Yeah, he's, you know, he's looking at my brother Bill like, you know, having a stroke or a seizure right there in front of us. And we joke that he was going, I don't know, it looks like he's about 5, 10, you know, like, I think that casket. Yeah, I think that'll work. Yeah.

[G]

Paul, Just like shirts and suits, coffins have normal size and extended long size. You want a long coffin because of. You were six, three.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

But if you put in for a long coffin, I think that will help your height on the way out.

[A]

Yeah. Because I want to make a statement there. You know, it's like, man, he was. He was tall. He's a lot taller than I thought in person, you know? You know, when they do. Where am I going to be in the rotunda? Like, when they do that, you know, viewing the viewings.

[G]

Yeah, the line outside.

[A]

But, Todd, there might be a Denver Bronco casket.

[F]

Like, there probably is. There's all kinds of sick things out there. But was working in that field, would that make you appreciate being alive more? Or would you become someone that would be just really depressed and it would just be horrible to go about your life in that field. I know you can make money and there's no off season and all that, but I don't think I can. Like you said, I think I can do that. It's very morbid, awful thing.

[A]

Somebody has to do it.

[F]

Somebody does have to do it.

[A]

Yeah. Yes.

[B]

Marvin, will you have a public viewing, like, right here in the man cave where people make the pilgrimage okay. To come pay their final respects to you.

[A]

All right. Out on the basketball floor. I'd like it out by the three point line, like a couple feet deeper. At least have my head and my. My hands would be on the other side of the three point line. I don't want it like Kevin Durant where my foot's right on the line, you know, and then somebody say, well, it's not a three pointer. Okay. Welcome to the program already in progress. Did I get to Jay in Delaware? Jay, did I. Did I talk to you?

[H]

Hey, Dan. Well, I was. I was. A lot of change of topics here. Well, I was. I was calling mainly about the sweet 16, but I wanted to throw it real quick. Marvin had brought up the Camden Yards, the town that I'm from. We have the farm team for the Orioles, and my favorite thing there is the crab prize. Sweet sixteen has absolutely delivered, and I can't wait to see Arizona and Illinois in the finals. That's going to be one hell of a matchup.

[A]

All right. Well, thank you, Jay. Yeah. I know we get caught up in a Cinderella, and if you want to say that Texas was a Cinderella or I was a Cinderella. Okay. It's hard to say that when you come from the Big ten or the SEC that you're a Cinderella story. It's like somebody was trying to convince me a couple of days ago, could Yukon be a Cinderella story? Because they weren't mentioned as the best odds to win the title. I go, they're a number two seed. And I brought that up to Danny early yesterday. He's like, no, we're not a number two. You know, we're not a Cinderella story. Uh, let's see. How about Patrick in New York? Hi, Patrick. What's on your mind today?

[H]

Oh, hey. Hey, Dan. How's it going? Great, great. Hey, I am from New York, but actually it's big into New York. We don't want to get that confused. Not New York City, but I got a. I got an elevator pitch for you.

[A]

Okay.

[H]

It's about your. You know, you lost your sponsor, Traeger.

[A]

Yep.

[H]

I just Very small company. I'd like to throw it out there. I'm the maker of the Patrick. My name's Patrick. And it only. That's what happens here is, Dan, is you send me around the country and I build barbecues in people's backyards, and we'll call it the Patrick.

[A]

Well, thank you, Patrick. We're on the verge of maybe securing a new mate Friday grilling company. So we're excited about you know, getting somebody. We sad that, you know, we said goodbye to traeger. That was 10 years. But coming up next week, I think we're going to. I. I said I have to have a grilling partner, and I have to have the grilling partner that I, you know, love. And I'm putting my name behind it because I want to have that when we go to the draft in Pittsburgh. I have to have my grilling partner by then. Yes.

[G]

Paulie, we're not becoming vegetarians for God.

[A]

No, we're not.

[G]

That is a no go.

[A]

No. No, we're not. But thank you. Thank you, Patrick, for the elevator pitch. Billy in Iowa. Hi, Billy. What's on your mind today?

[H]

Good morning, Dan and your entire crew. Thanks for taking my call. I love to watch you on Peacock. I have a couple quick comments. You guys got jobbed by the Emmys. You guys are tremendous. Never losers. Holy cow. The funeral segment. This is awesome. It's the one choice in life we don't have. And then I have a quick stat of the day.

[A]

Okay,

[H]

Here comes the stat of the day. Thanks for the music. I love that one. My two freshmen from my Fighting Illini, Merkavich and Wagler, since the 72, 73 tournament, got double doubles by freshmen in the same game.

[A]

That's your stat of the day. Thank you, Billy. In Iowa. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America, David Mirkovich and Keaton Wagler. They had double doubles. First freshman duo to do that since freshman became eligible in 1973. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Here comes that. What? Stat of the day. Darius Auff Jr. III from Arkansas had 88 points. Those are the most points in A player's first three NCAA tournament games career games since Steph Curry had 100 in his first three games in 0708 tournaments. Start of the day.

[C]

Start of the day. Start of the day.

[A]

Start of the day. Start of the day.

[C]

Start of the day. Start of the day.

[B]

Start of the day.

[A]

Did you pump up some volume on that stat of the day there, Marvin?

[B]

And kind of went up on his

[A]

own, it feels like. Yeah, well, we don't have a live band in here. All right.

[B]

Give it that feel.

[A]

Yeah. Well, you did a great job. All right, how about we take a break? No. No hot dogs now, Todd. You got one hot dog per hour.

[F]

Yeah, but they have. This year they have the nine, nine challenge thing. 999. Why can't we do something?

[A]

Do you want to have one now? One more now and then none for the rest of the show.

[F]

That's not a fair deal at all. I thought we would do like one. Every commercial break you have one food item.

[A]

No, you get one per hour.

[F]

Okay, laying the law down.

[A]

What?

[B]

Marvin, you said one hot dog. You didn't say sausages and peppers.

[A]

Sausage and peppers at the top. Next hour.

[A]

Sausage and peppers next hour. Yes.

[C]

Can I trade my crab dip access no later. For another hot dog now.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[C]

I'm just trying to see.

[A]

I'm just trying to order in the cord here. Let's go. Don't turn something great into something bad.

[F]

Why is there no room for negotiation? I like where Scene's going with that. He wants to trade up and get something.

[A]

How about we take a break? We're back after this. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show. Weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio app.

[A]

research during the commercial break, and I found a Broncos casket right now for $2995.

[F]

Todd, when you open up, it goes. You can get the one with the sound effects when they do on third down.

[G]

I'll buy it for you. I'll buy it for you.

[C]

Facebook Marketplace.

[A]

No, no, no, no. Dang it. No. I only get my. My corduroys on Facebook.

[C]

You're being buried in corduroys for sure. Yeah, no doubt about that.

[A]

Probably so. Probably so. Yeah.

[G]

Paul, we also did a little research about death and we talked about if you own a funeral home, is there a slow season? There is. Guess. According to the cdc, the highest mortality month is the United States. And the lowest mortality month. Who wants to guess the mortality game?

[A]

All right, Todd.

[F]

The highest mortality month I'm going to say is December. And the lowest I'm going to say is June.

[A]

Seaton.

[C]

I'm going to go kind of opposite. I think the. I think more people die in the summer, less people die in the winter. So I'm going to go a January, July situation.

[A]

January, July. Marvin.

[B]

I think a lot of people die in January for sure. And then in the July is the least deadliest.

[A]

So January and July, most to least I'll go December. Most I'll go January. Least.

[G]

Some pretty good guesses. The highest mortality month. January, the lowest August. People are getting ready for school. Too busy to die.

[C]

Yeah. Back to school. Back to school. Shopping rarely happen.

[G]

January. 20% more die in January than they do in August. Traditionally.

[C]

Man, that's really a statement on. On like New Year's resolutions.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Don't do it. They're gonna kill you. 20% more likely to kill you.

[A]

Yes, Todd.

[F]

Or you might have died sooner, but you wanted to get year. And just to say that you. A little bit longer and you made it past the ball going down.

[A]

Yeah. Let's let's keep him alive until January so we can, you know, get those odds, those numbers up. Yes. Paulie.

[G]

Didn't the great comedian Betty White die like a month before her 100th birthday? Yeah, they had this whole special plan. I love that we weirdly that she just like, I'm out.

[A]

Oh, Dick Van Dyke made. Made it to 100.

[G]

He's still with us.

[A]

Yes, yes, he is. He's still with us.

[G]

We haven't had him on lately.

[A]

No, we. It's been a long time since we've had Dick Van Djk. I would have had Betty White on. I thought she was. She was a pisser and I thought she was. She was hot in a strange way.

[G]

Yeah, yeah. 90s hot.

[A]

Yeah. Yes.

[F]

You're a big Julie Andrews guy.

[A]

Oh, Julie Andrews. My first. My first girlfriend. I had a crush on her. See, that'd be. I don't know what I would say if I saw Julie Andrews, because I remember seeing her and I was probably 7 or 8 years old. Sound of Music. I didn't know what those feelings were, but I had feelings. She was spectacular. And then you give me Mary Poppins. Come on.

[G]

Popping. All right.

[H]

Yeah.

[A]

Popping and locking. Yes. Paulie.

[G]

Dick Van Dyke, the famous comedian actor, just turned 100 in December. Yeah, there's a study, actually. This guy had a statement. I can't find the college that comedians. He noticed a trend of comedians living way longer, like Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, all in the 90s. Dick Van Dyke, Betty White. That the comedy is the mitigating factor.

[A]

Yeah, but they always feel like they're very depressing people. When you're around comedians, they're kind of dark.

[G]

Yeah, but don't they overcome it with comedy? Maybe, or deal with it?

[A]

I don't know.

[G]

Laughter is the best medicine.

[A]

It is.

[G]

I just made that up.

[A]

Yes, Todd.

[F]

I think laughing and the ability to make other people laugh. My grandma Judy, I don't know where she read this room where she just came up with something. She always said to me as a little kid, laughing is like an internal workout. Just like you would do weights or something at the gym for your look better externally. But there's something about laughing giving your insides exercise or work. I thought that was very interesting.

[A]

All right. Was she the funny one in the family?

[F]

She was very funny.

[A]

I don't know.

[F]

Oh, I see what you did there. You're asking a legitimate question about my grandmother.

[G]

She just died.

[C]

I see what you did there.

[A]

Yeah. See, we're. We're giving ourselves an inner workout.

[F]

Judy Goldstein she knew what she was talking about.

[A]

Oh, man. They talked about Judy Goldstein.

[F]

She was very funny.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

Not intentionally. She's just kind of out there.

[A]

Kind of like David in Ohio. Hi, David. What's on your mind today?

[H]

Hey, Dan. Happy Meat Friday, nobody. You guys are talking about death earlier. And I would want to be buried by the Pittsburgh Steelers so they can let me down one last time.

[A]

All righty. Yes. Yes.

[G]

Paulie, if you're a Steelers fan, you have four Super Bowls in your lifetime. I don't. I don't see room for complaint.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

Wait, I'm sorry. Six Super Bowls in your lifetime?

[A]

Yeah. If you're a Browns fan, then you could say that. Yeah. I don't know if they're fixing to trade Miles Garrett. They ask him to restructure his contract, but I. I don't know. It feels like some analysts are taking this running with it, and it just feels like maybe something's there, which I would be surprised because I would feel good about. The Cleveland Browns with the draft picks, and you got a really good defense. Mel Kuiper said they're not interested in Ty Simpson because they have Shador Sanders. Mel is going to die on that hill with Shador Sanders. But I don't want you to reach. And you know, if Ty Simpson isn't your guy or you're not completely convinced, then don't do that. Use that pick on somebody can actually make your team better.

[H]

And.

[A]

And maybe you're going to re. You know, reinforce your offensive line, and then maybe you get a true assessment of Shador Sanders. But you still got the desean Watson elephant in the room. And if he's healthy and you're paying him $44 million, then play him. Like you've already gotten over the moral compass of how could you bring in this guy? So play him. Yeah.

[G]

Paulie, I'm looking at the article about Miles Garrett's contract tweaks. Their tweaks?

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

They're just dates of when he gets his money that help the team cap wise.

[A]

Okay.

[G]

And people are taking that and making leaps.

[A]

Okay. I mean, I did a little bit, but I thought they should have traded, traded him before he get, you know, got $40 million because you weren't going to win. And look, in that division, I don't know what Cincinnati is going to give you. Baltimore has a new head coach. Pittsburgh we're still not sure about. And maybe Cleveland can be, you know, an eight win team, a nine win team. But I gotta get. I gotta figure out, you know, is it Dylan Gabriel Shador Sanders, is it Deshaun Watson? If you got three, then you don't have one, and that would concern me. Craig in Louisville. Hi, Craig. What's on your mind today?

[H]

Hey, Dan, six time caller, longtime listener, 59198. So I've got three rapid fire questions for you about your funeral. What song would you have played at your funeral? Which Danette? Would you want to give your eulogy? And could Marvin be a Paul bear with this little hand?

[A]

Would I want Marvin to be a pallbearer? Would I want Paul to be a Paul bearer by default? See what I do with that Paul bear. Todd will not give my eulogy.

[F]

I try to cheer everybody up a little bit. Maybe they wouldn't laugh, but I would try.

[A]

Oh, you would? You would go for the humor?

[F]

I would.

[A]

I think.

[F]

I think you would appreciate that because you always make people laugh and feel better and make people's dreams come true. That should be the tone of it.

[A]

I was thinking of asking Will Ferrell or maybe Sandler. Will Ferrell. Darius Rucker playing a song, a star studded affair. Yes.

[G]

Would you have the funeral in Los Angeles to make it more convenient?

[A]

Yes, I would.

[G]

That's awful.

[A]

Yeah, like, we'll bring the funeral to you.

[G]

You get some good celebs out there.

[A]

Yes. I mean, you might get some Drive Bys. Now people just say, hey, what's going on? They're burying Dan Patrick. All right, I'll stop in. Yes, Todd, what if you sang Rocky's

[F]

Casket like a wagon Wheel? That would be kind of weird, right? You don't want them shaking up your whole thing there.

[A]

Thank you, Todd. This is the kind of humor

[F]

crying

[G]

more than ever at your funeral, Dan, after you die. He's going to be funny.

[A]

Oh, okay. Yes, Marvin.

[B]

So what song would you have?

[A]

I don't know. I don't know. I'd have to leave that up to. I mean, it may be Amazing Grace. You know that Darius could sing that. You know, I don't. I don't want a Hootie in a blowfish. One little poppy. Yeah. Time and wasting time in time. You ain't no friend of mine.

[F]

You don't have to worry about time anyone. What you did.

[A]

That's true. Thank you. Yes.

[B]

Marvin, what about an acoustic version of Bang the Drum all day?

[A]

Oh, then I'd have to get Todd Rundgren in. Oh, so I'm not gonna let Todd sing the Bang the Drum or Friday theme song. Yeah, it's a little too poppy, you know, I mean, I'm looking for tears. You know, maybe, maybe just like some subtle humor in there with Sandler and, and Will. Little tag team action there. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, they're great together. You know, put them up there and see it. Always funny. Yeah, that'd be nice. Yeah. Let's see. Bill in Houston. Hi, Bill. What's on your mind today? By the way, Todd goes, if I get buried in a Broncos casket, I go from mile high to six feet under.

[F]

I think I would have to say that on the side.

[A]

All right, fair enough. Bill in Houston joins us. Good morning, Bill.

[H]

A quick Chicago style hot dog story that Paulie will appreciate that whenever I fly from Houston to Indianapolis, inevitably I have to lay over in o' Hare in Chicago and I found a fabulous little eatery there that I can get near the American Airlines terminal to get foot long Chicago style hot dogs that I dream about every day. So now all my flights to the Midwest have to go through o'. Hare. So two and then two quick questions for you, Dan. On days like today, do you need one of those signs like the ballparks I think used to have where it said no beer sales after the seventh inning and only two beers per customer. Do that with your hot dogs.

[A]

Yeah, I should have that where it's only. But I Seaton's already said, look, I might have four or five hot dogs today and it's a Friday, we had a rough day on Tuesday and he's got all weekend to recover. Somebody just sent in, Todd will be buried in a suit. A three piece. Damn. Three piece. Damn three piece. But you didn't even have a three piece suit on.

[F]

I did. It was some kind of linen thing that I got in I don't know where, Laguna Niguel or wherever I went. Laguna Beach. And this guy was just not having it.

[A]

But did you. You spilled.

[F]

I almost. I was with my little cranberry juice and I'm at some club, a bar. I'm totally out of my element with the group that was there and I kind of banged into him by accident. He's with this hot girl and he's got muscles coming out of every orifice and he's like, damn, three piece. Like, watch where you're going and I'll

[A]

kick the sweet crap out of you.

[H]

Wait.

[A]

Muscles coming out of his like muscular earlobes, every aura.

[F]

He was just, he was just really like totally roided out and it was the worst possible human of the whole party to bang into. And I found this guy and almost spilled my cranberry juice on him. Damn three piece.

[A]

Nick and Irvine. Welcome back, Nick.

[H]

Thank you so much. Hall of Famer legend Dan, I don't want to talk about, about your demise. You're going to live forever. Literally. For all of us in our hearts and our minds. Listen, Dan. Dodger season has started and it's unbelievable. It's like you can make up this stuff, but it's true, you know, Shohei is going for his fourth MVP in a row. Plus he's going to have 20 to 30 starts. So I'm penciling him in for the Cy Young and the mvp.

[A]

Wow. Okay. Would Babe Ruth have won? They didn't have it back then. The Cy Young. They had the mvp. Did he ever have a season when he could have been the Cy Young and mvp?

[G]

Checking because he really went. He only had like a two year overlap. Pitching and hitting semi full time. His best year as a pitcher. Babe Ruth, hold please.

[A]

Did he win 19 games?

[G]

He won 23.

[A]

Okay.

[G]

In 1916, 24 in 1917. And that's also the time he became a full time hitter. So in 1917 he only hit six home runs. That year he was not a full time.

[A]

Okay, okay.

[G]

It didn't overlap full time.

[C]

All right.

[A]

It's weird what? You know, it's like the triple double. Oh no, let me go back to 30, 30 when you know players stealing 30 and hitting 30 home runs and I, I forget who it was. Maybe it was Mickey Mantle. If he said if I knew this was a big deal, I would have done it every year. It's like the triple doubled with the NBA. I gotta believe that, you know, Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, Wilt, all of those guys back in the 60s, if they would have realized that would have been a big deal for a triple double, then you would have had more than one player. I mean Oscar did it, but it's not like I, and I remember and, but it's not like I go, oh my God. He averaged, you know, double digits and points, rebounds and assists. Cause we didn't call it a triple double. But I don't remember. When I'd watch games, I would usually focus on just the points somebody was scoring, not rebounds and assist. And then all of a sudden it felt like Russell Westbrook cracked the code and he goes, I can, I can average a triple double, I can win the MVP. And here's a 6, 5 guard who's getting double digit rebounds and assists. Not a great shooter, but a great scorer. And he won the, he won the MVP because he averaged a triple double. But I don't know if. I don't know if Larry Bird goes. How many assists do I have? Hey, you got nine. You need one more for a triple double or Magic would do. Magic, to me, would have averaged a triple double if he wanted to. Like, no brainer. But I, I just don't remember anybody going, let me get double digits in all of that. When it Ricky Davis who needed a rebound to get a triple double, they took it away from him because he, he kind of created a rebound for himself. So it became a little bit of a thing. But then like Joker, I'm surprised when he doesn't have a triple double. But then he had, you know, 20, 20, 19 assists. I don't know if he said, you know, leave me in to go. 20, 20, 20. Yeah, Paulie.

[G]

Going back to Babe Ruth, I did some research. We talked about this before. According to Baseball Almanac, he wanted to keep pitching with the Yankees, but the Yankees owner was afraid he would ask for way more money by doing two positions at an All Star level. Shohei Ohtani has had 39 wins as a starter. He started 100 games. He's got one shutout, one complete game his career. Babe Ruth as A pitcher was 94 and 46 as a starter. He had 107 complete games and 17 career shots. But again, it's a different era of pitching styles and usage.

[A]

And he didn't have Tommy Jones surgery either.

[G]

No.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah, Marv.

[B]

See, Babe Ruth only has one MVP award.

[A]

Well, but you couldn't win it back to back years.

[B]

That's insane.

[A]

So they had rules. It's like, you know, you got yours now. Even one feels like now did they. When did they start the mvp, though?

[G]

So it's really wonky. There was an MVP before he got good. Then it went away as an award. So he had seasons. Babe Ruth, like, for example, 1921, he hit.378 with 59 homers and 168 RBI. Nobody won an MVP that year. So he wasn't eligible. Nobody was eligible. They brought the award back in 1923, and of course he won it. He had.393 with 40 homers. Then the award, he was not eligible for it for the next few years because of the repeat rule. You know, like almost like the 65 game rule now. You couldn't repeat then. By the time they brought the award back where anybody could win it, he was past his prime.

[A]

Wow.

[G]

So he has one MVP over.

[A]

All right, let me take a break. Once again, Sausage Peppers at the top of the hour. Not now, okay? Oh, don't give me pouty face.

He's 44 years of age, and here you are on the cusp of a final four, and at that age. Now he just got there to Iowa. He had been successful in Division 2, was at Drake, and then brought players with him to Iowa from drake. And at 44, that's when it feels like you're ready for your next job. Well, it feels like Iowa's been his dream job, but you got there. At 44, he's born in Iowa City. Do you want to stay there? What if Kansas comes open? North Carolina is open and it, and it's not like it was, you know, like Kurt Ference has been there at Iowa for decades. Mark Few at Gonzaga, I mean, those, those guys are dinosaurs. Tom Izzo, like, it just doesn't happen anymore where you're there for 20 years, everybody's bouncing around. By the way, if we're going to be critical of players when they transfer, and I hear analysts say, oh, you know, when it gets tough and then you decide you're going to transfer, I want to know if you're going to say the same thing about Will Wade going from NC State after a year back to lsu. Like two weeks ago he said he wasn't going anywhere. Now he's there one year, NC State gave him a chance. They, you know, they were in the first four in the tournament and now he's going to lsu. So for all this hand wringing of these kids and they don't persevere through tough times and they transfer, just make sure you have the same energy headed towards him. And look, that's on lsu that you want to bring him back with what he did while he was there. That's, that's on you. Are you trying to tell me there is no one else, that you had to bring him back? But I just want to make sure we are not saying two different things. But, you know, movement in college basketball is not judged equally. Loyalty always comes up. Players toughness is question. Administrators rush to claim tampering and you know, when it, it comes with kids. But Wade has every right to make the move back to lsu. LSU has every right to bring him back, but just the next time when somebody talks about all these kids, it gets tough for him and then they transfer, they get out of a tough spot, they should fight through. That's the way we did. Well, make sure you apply that same energy towards these coaches.

[G]

Yeah, Pauling, you know, there's some people out there, congressmen and other heavyweights in college sports that want more rules about incoming freshmen. You get five years of eligibility and you could transfer once on the house. And the second one is like the old days where you have to sit out a year. What if they said, okay, but we'll do the same with coaches? And there's some rule that if you take a job, you can't leave after one year without some type of major penalty or major sit out. The coaches would never sign up for that. So why would you institute it on the kids.

[A]

And I think it used to be if you transferred in the conference, you had to sit out two years. So they really were trying to make sure that you stayed. And if you did transfer, you had to sit out a year.

[C]

Yeah, that's part of my problem with that sort of like, inconsistency that you're talking about with loyalty is that sometimes coaches leave and the way that that affects the players that are remaining. Oftentimes there's a player coming in that was just recruited by those guys, and now that guy just left. Well, wait, now I have to get what re recruited to go to this other school. Sometimes they don't take everybody with them. Am I going to lose my scholarship now? What if the incoming coach has his own guy that wants somebody else now? You know, there, there's. There's a lot of dominoes to, like, hey, the guy's just chasing a new paycheck. What's wrong with that? Or whatever. There's. It affects way more people than that.

[H]

Hey, Dan. Speaking of tours of the man caves, when you're laid in your casket at the three point line, the first thing I thought of was as people were paying respects, Tandora is sitting on the edge of your casket serenading.

[A]

Wow. Okay. I'd have to get clearance from my wife. But if, if I had Pandora, as you know, I'm. It'll be an open casket, of course. Make sure my hair looks good. It would sound a little bit like this.
