I'm the director of the men's clinic at UCLA and I want to tell you about my new podcast called the Mailroom. And I'm Jordan, the show's producer. And like most guys, I haven't been to the doctor in way too long. I'll be asking the questions we probably should be asking, but aren't. Every week we're breaking down the world of men's health, from testosterone and fitness to diets and fertility. We'll talk science without the jargon and get you real answers to the stuff you actually wonder about. So check out the mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. On an all new episode of iHeartRadio's Las Culturistas, Emmy, Golden Globe and Tony Award winner Sarah Paulson spills on red carpet hacks. We saw these pictures and you're like, what is the story with this? She gets real about the inspiration behind her roles.
Dan Patrick
Oh no, there is no end to.
Paul Pabst
How people will behave. And she puts hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang on notice.
Dan Patrick
I don't think so, honey. I feel very, very triggered by this.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio, hour two here in Las Vegas. We're at the Fontaineble Hotel. Some friends got up early with us, but the gang's all here. Fritzi, Seaton, Marv, Paulie, yours truly. Well, Frank Caliendo will stop by. Nicole Briscoe works for the mothership, covering Formula one. Nobody covers Formula one like we do. No, buddy. Okay, okay. We're learning. We are learning. You know, we're open to this. We're open to open wheel. Open wheel. We're trying to figure this out. Understand? I just know Max Verstappen is the favorite for the championship, or at least this. This championship here in Vegas. Yes, Tom. There ain't no stopping Max. That's what they say. Thank you, Todd. Everybody says thank you, Todd. Yes. Paulie Lando Norris. I don't know much about him. I think he's British. But you just say, I'm a Lando fan, and then you sound like you know what you're talking about. Yeah, well, Lewis Hamilton, maybe the greatest driver of all time. Yes. Eaton. There's something so awesome, too, about, like, what do you do for a living? Oh, I drive for Ferrari. Like, these insane car brands, you know, that are, like, the top of the top, and then you're a professional driver for that brand. That's incredible. Yeah. Mercedes McLaren. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. But you're looking at, you know, the streets of Las Vegas is where the race is. It's just weird to be driving and then seeing the track. But I love the overhead shots, especially at night when they have these races. I think the one in Dubai, I watched that. But it. It's kind of presented as almost a pinball machine. It's just so much going on, the lights and how the city kind of envelops the race. But we'll. We'll talk to Nicole Briscoe. She'll help us. Maybe she can give us a little bit of a Cliff Notes version Here. Look. What to look for. We were caught up in driving in the rain in Formula one, but not nascar. And do you have windshield wipers? You know, the important things that, uh, the serious F1 fan already knows? Yes, Paul. And they're gonna be driving through the streets past all the attractions. I can hear the announcers going, we're stopping past the Spearmint Rhino at 147 miles per hour. So we're here in Vegas. We're in the second floor, the food court here. Fountain Blue Hotel. They've been our home away from home out in Vegas and rolled out the red carpet during the super bowl and certainly become friends of the show. 877-3-DP-SHoVE. We'll try to get to some more phone calls here. Stat of the Day is always brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. And our calendar is available@danpatrick.com autograph non autograph calendars. Somebody asked if the non autographs cost more. I said, that's very funny. But no, the autograph calendar will cost you. It's just a little sense, a little calendar sense of humor, a little mean spirited there. It's not necessary. You could also go to the tailgate store and get an autograph calendar with select tailgate purchases while supplies last year. All right, let me do this in dramatic fashion here. Sunday night, two quarterbacks with firepower and finesse get their time in the spotlight. Baker Mayfield leads the Bucks against Matthew Stafford in The Rams Sunday 7 Eastern on NBC. And Peacock, you don't have to hype that game at all. Yes, Marvin, who's your MVP so far? Matthew Stafford. Okay, not even close. In two weeks ago it was Baker Mayfield. No, that was probably three or four weeks ago. But you know that that Bucks lineup has been decimated. You know, all the injuries with skill, position. But Baker's done a great job. I mean, that game in Buffalo, I'd be surprised. It was high scoring. But Matthew Stafford's been great, been great. And he was the one guy said if he stays healthy, the Rams can win a Super bowl because of him. If he stays healthy, they can win. And right now he's healthy and you know, they're probably one or if not the top, the second favorite in the NFC to go to the Super Bowl. Yeah, Paul. And you can find stories from two years ago when Matthew Stafford was 11 touchdowns, eight picks and he was injured in 2022. Like, should the Rams start that transition plan now? Do they extend his contract? Three years ago it didn't look good for his future. Well, then everybody said, hey, the Rams got two first round draft picks, so they're going to get their quarterback this upcoming draft. Stafford's got one more year. I mean, at some point you got to start looking at that. But I don't know if you get somebody, let them sit for a while. You know, I was looking at the Falcons situation. They thought that they were in a perfect situation that we got our quarterback, Kirk Cousins. We can't pass up Michael Penix. And now Michael Penix is injured and you got Kirk Cousins and you're going nowhere. And then some people may lose their jobs because of that. And you're stuck with Michael Penix and you're stuck with Kirk Cousins. Although somebody who I know in the NFL circle said don't be surprised if they try to trade Kirk Cousins back to Minnesota for next year. Wowzers. Yeah. That's heavy, though. That, that's a, that's a vote of non Confidence in J.J. mcCarthy. Yeah, yeah. But once again, he's got to stay healthy. And you know, what you have in Kirk Cousins. And I think we thought, you know, J.J. mcCarthy had as much pressure on him this year as anybody because of who they got rid of. You got rid of Sam Darnold and Danny Dimes. Kirk Cousins goes to Atlanta. You use a high draft pick on J.J. mcCarthy. He had to be great because this team was ready to go this year. And that is. That's a big miss right now. Yeah, Paulie. And with J.J. mcCarthy, it's not just that he's not playing well and not staying healthy. He suffers in comparison to Jaden Daniels. Kayla Williams is getting better. Drake Mays, you know, really hitting his stride. And it makes like, what's happening to you? Where are you at? Well, a lot of times we look at a quarterback and then we base his success off the other quarterbacks taken in the draft. Like Ryan Leaf is one of the biggest bust of all time because, well, Peyton Manning was in that same draft. But the Colts wisely took Peyton Manning. Although a lot of revisionist history, not everybody in the Colts war room was sold on Peyton Manning over Ryan Leaf. But they did make the right call. But a lot of times we'll go, oh, my God, you could have had, you know, like Greg Odin, you know, people like, oh, that guy, you're going to take him that high. You know, Sam Bowie, of course, the injury plague center when they could have had Michael Jordan in Portland. Yes, Martin, that happened recently with Bryce Young and C.J. stroud. Like that. That hurts even more when somebody else is doing way better. That was picked after you. What's the poll question for the second hour of the program? Even though we only had one short period of time in the first hour. Seaton. Yeah, we're gonna get a couple more going. This was sort of in the same vein as the one Paul suggested, but cooler profession. F1 racer, pro surfer. I have like a rodeo cowboy or. Or girl. That's kind of a pretty baller job. And then we have room for a fourth if anybody else has one. Okay. Cooler profession, though, being A professional surfer. That's pretty awesome. So Kelly Slater. Yeah. Lewis Hamilton or. I don't know. There is no. I don't know of a professional rodeo person, but that seems like kind of an awesome job. There's not a lot of people that do that. I don't want to be a professional bull rider. I want to have everything about it until I get on the bowl. Yeah, yeah. So that would, that would. Have you ever been on a horse? Yeah. It's scary as hell. Yeah. Getting on a horse for the first time is terrifying. Cuz they're gigantic and you're like, what am I? So I'm supposed to control this thing. I like to go bareback, relax. But have a saddle on the horse. It's just, I'm. I'm bareback. That's the problem. Everyone should have a saddle on the horse. Yes, they should. They should. Yes. Marvin. So you want the bull rider aesthetic. Yes. Okay. Just not the actual profession. Oh my God, no. And your, you know, your job. Last eight seconds. Whoa. Todd, I've been there again to tell you something in confidence. So you make a public phone. You're a bull rider without. Without the cowboy boot. Oh, no. You do have the cowboy boot. I do. I went to Denim and Diamonds when I used to live in California. But the whole outfit, my big belt buckle. Yeah. It's funny is that when I was driving out here, I pulled off at a place, I don't know, somewhere in like Denver, in like Colorado or Utah or something like that. I was looking for a hotel and I drove past a boot barn and I was, I almost turned around to go take a picture of it for Todd. The boot bar in San Bernardino. That's the 1, 700 bucks I spent. Yes. Dan. I just happened to have the PBR rider rankings up on my screen. Of course I did. I keep that up at all times. Jared Parsonage is the number one rider this year in the PBR rankings. Makes a lot of dough, but like that's not something, you know, if you're a surf champion, you don't make F1 money. No, no, no. Not FU money. But like surfing. People can try. Most people don't ever try bull riding or ever try race car driving. So those two are kind of standalone. I think. I, I would like to be an F1 guy. They dress very cool. They got everything about it looks like, I mean, Brad Pitt did a movie on formula one. He'd be like the eighth best good looking F1 driver. He'd be like eighth. No offense. Yes. Todd. I'm trying to figure out which would impress the ladies the most. They're hanging on the beach watching you surf. Watch. Or you're in some kind of saloon and you're able to do the mechanical bowl for minutes on end or whatever is considered a good run. Or of those that we mentioned, all you got to do is get out of a car, take your helmet off. Just 200 miles an hour, and you got your unit, you got your, you know, your fire suit on. You don't even have to say. You don't have to do anything. Yes. I think you guys are underappreciating, though, the sort of. The sort of primal nature of controlling a wild animal. That's crazy. That's like. Probably goes back to, like, the oldest form of competition is, can you tame this thing? Wow. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of Neanderthal in a way. Okay. Yeah, yeah. But I'm gonna control a car that goes over 225 miles an hour. Yeah, but can you get on a bull or a horse or something that's going crazy and make that thing do what you want it to do? But they only have to do it for eight seconds. I have to do it for a couple of hours. But everybody drives. Not that fast. Right? But they do drive. Yes. Paulie. I'm on the PBR website, and they also. The bull rankings. They rank the bulls. So, you know, Excalibur. You don't want to get on that. You don't want to be on Buck Nasty this year. He's four for four with buck offs. He's leading the league. That's a real name. That's right. Buck Nasty. Four for four and buck off. Don't go. Are you gonna give me, like, oh, what's Josh Giddy on that list? I want to know which one of those professions lends itself to the best practice. Cardiac.
Dan Patrick
Bu.
Paul Pabst
Yeah, the cardiac. Yeah. Cardiac bull. Yeah. Buck Nasty. Buck Nasty. I'm on the show. Before he bucks you, let me see Michael in Scottsdale. Hi, Mike. What's on your mind today? Good morning. I was just calling because apparently you guys are like formula one rookie or new to the sport. So I've been around. Around it since 1980. So a couple suggestions is try to get a. I'm sure you got a media path, so maybe you can get a ride in the pace car or the medical car. I'll be doing medical coverage. I don't know what turn I'll be in. And there's also. I saw. Seated by a Radio Flyer car The other day, and there's a guy in town there that's got a grocery cart that holds six people, so you might want to check that out and what your thoughts are on the 49ers this year. I love that. I'm amazed. I'm amazed that they've held it together. Christian McCaffrey was my offensive player of the year, and Brock Purdy is back, so. Hey, they got a big game coming up this weekend. Big game. 49ers against the Panthers, I think, right? I think they're playing. Yeah. Marvin, you're the Niners resident fan. Yep. They play Bryce Young and those pesky Panthers. Jake in Colorado. Hey, Jake, what's on your mind? Hey, deep fee. I'm still laughing about Fritzi lasting eight seconds. You guys are talking about racing in the rain. A lot of reasons that NASCAR doesn't and F1 does. Some of it's a lot of it's history. F1's always raced in the rain, so they've always had tires developed for the rain, and they've, especially the last 20 years, have tracks developed with runoff for safety, whereas NASCAR's never raced in the rain, and you're usually on an oval, and you've got no runoff. You've also got tire development that plays a huge role. They're very, very different tires. They're not just slicks with grooves cut in them. So you've got manufacturers that would have to develop tires for NASCAR that would make them work correctly. And then kind of like the NFL, the people who run it always want to talk about safety, safety, safety. It's not really part of it. I mean, it is, but that's some of it that goes into it. And in TV slots, F1 runs globally, so you've got to keep that time slot for all the people broadcasting around the world. Here in the US When NASCAR gets bumped an hour, it affects things, but not nearly to the level. So that's. That's another big reason why they have to keep that time slot. They have to make the cars go out so that everybody can be happy globally. Thank you, Jake. You guys. Paul. Yeah. Nascar, the long, straightaway type courses, they don't run in the rain like a Watkins Glen or a Sonoma in California. Those road courses, they will do it if it's drizzling or raining. Shuffles in Arizona. Hi, shuffles. Morning. Bear down, Arizona. Bear down, red and blue. I'm just calling in to remind Marvin that we had a pie to the face bet. Oh, that's right. Arizona, Connecticut. Yeah. Arizona, Connecticut, last out. I'm not going to get ahead of myself because Arizona on occasion and the attorney might struggle, but at least for today, I'm reveling in this, as I think the entire wildcat nation is. But I just want to call in and remind Marvin. And with that, I just want to say one thing, which is thank you, Tyler. Arizona beat Connecticut 71, 67. And Arizona out rebounded the Huskies 43, 23. So you have a pie to the face coming. You and shuffles had that bet that Arizona was playing Connecticut at Connecticut. Yes. But per usual, Arizona is going to celebrate in November and Yukon's going to celebrate in late March and April. Wow, that's smack talk there. Like, oh, Arizona won. Yeah. Great. Okay. In November. In November. All right. Yeah. But you know what, man? They're going to be on my bracket and I'm going to look at Arizona and think. I know. Oh, I love this when they're the two seed and they lose the Jackson State. Not again. A million times. I will not make that mistake with the Chargers or Arizona basketball. Dang it. I won't. Every single year. I will not. It's always a lottery pick. And it's like, man, he went to Arizona. Yeah. But he lost in the first round. Yes, of course. Per usual, it's like North Carolina football where you go, man, they had a couple of first round picks on that roster and they ended up going, you know, 6 and 6. Yeah. Yeah. How do you have Peppers and Albert Haynesworth and not make the. You know, they were fantastic with talent. Yes, Todd, we look forward to them making the round of 32. And then we could all put red X's all across our sheets. Thank you, Todd. You're welcome. We have rhyme time coming up, I think, tomorrow. Do we maybe we type thing? Yeah, this. This is Vegas. You know, you want to build it up. You're kind of our pit bull dollar. Yeah. Yeah. I'm told Pitbull. Pitbull. Pit bull will not be available for the show. I think he's getting in later on Friday. And then he has two shows here Friday and Saturday at Fontainebleau. So you're saying I'm Mr. Wide and he's Mr. Worldwide. I think you were taking a shot. You were taking a shot. I know you won't. What's the poll question for hour two? Do we have one? Well, yeah, we're throwing up. Literally. We're putting up there F1. Rugby, cricket. We're putting up F1. Racer, pro surfer, rodeo cowboy. We also, you know, My wife just sent me a text. I'm not exactly sure what to read into it. Okay. Do you want to wait until after the break and then you can. We could, we could do that. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. She just sent me a text, though, and I don't really understand why she sent me this. Why she sent right now. No, I mean, she texts me all the time during the show. I just don't know why she sent me this specific message. Great tease. Yeah, I love that. Are we involved in this indirectly? Sure. Just because it's the show. Yeah. Well, really, all men are indirectly involved. Oh, yeah. Yeah. All right, we'll take a break. We'll talk more. Formula one is only we can. Nicole Briscoe will help us with that topic on loan from the mothership Frank Caliendo in an hour from now. We went to dinner with him. He was on fire. And once again, it's hard to go to dinner with Frank because you really go to dinner with six or seven different people because he'll break into a Barkley. Morgan Freeman. He did Charlie Sheen last night and I'm like, okay. But he was a lot of fun. But he'll join us in an hour from now. How about we take a break and it's back after this in the Dan Patrick Show.

We are tackling all the health questions that keep you up at night.
Dan Patrick
Yes, I'm Dr. Priyanka Walley, a double board certified physician.
Paul Pabst
And I'm Hari Kondabolu, a comedian and someone who once googled do I have scurvy at 3am on health stuff, we're talking about health in a different way. It's not only about what we can do to improve our health, but also.
Dan Patrick
What our health says about us and.
Paul Pabst
The way we're living. Like our episode where we look at diabetes in the United states. I mean 50% of Americans are pre diabetic. How preventable is type 2? Extremely.
Dan Patrick
Or our in depth analysis of how incredible mangoes are.
Paul Pabst
Oh, it's hard to explain to rest of the world that like your mangoes are fine because mangoes are incredible. But like you don't even know. You don't know. You don't know.
Dan Patrick
It's going to be a fun ride. So tune in.
Paul Pabst
Listen to health stuff on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or where wherever you get your podcasts, the forces shaping the world's economies and financial markets can be hard to spot.
Dan Patrick
Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them.
Paul Pabst
And even harder to understand, Donald Trump's.
Dan Patrick
Trade War 2.0 is only accelerating the process of de dollarization, which in a way is jargon for people turning away from the dollar.
Paul Pabst
That is where the big take from Bloomberg podcast comes in to connect the dots.
Dan Patrick
How unusual is a deal like this?
Paul Pabst
Unprecedented. Every weekday afternoon we dive deep into one big global business story. The biggest story of the reaction of the oil market to the conflict in the Middle east is one of what has not happened. Katie, you told me that ETFs are your favorite thing.
Dan Patrick
They are.
Paul Pabst
Explain that. Why is that the case? And unpack what it means for you.
Dan Patrick
Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples and so they sort of become outsized indicators of inflation.
Paul Pabst
Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. She said Johnny, the kids didn't come home last night. Along the Central Texas plains, teens are dying, suicides that don't make sense, strange accidents and brutal murders in what seems to be a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad. Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people.
Dan Patrick
There are people out there that absolutely know what happened.
Paul Pabst
Listen to Paper Ghosts, the Texas teen murders on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Dan Patrick
Did you know Tide has been upgraded to provide an even better clean in cold water. Tide is specifically designed to fight Any stain you throw at it. Even in cold butter. Yep.
Paul Pabst
Chocolate ice cream.
Dan Patrick
Sure thing. Barbecue sauce. Tide's got you covered. You don't need to use warm water. Additionally, Tide pods let you confidently fight tough stains with new coldzyme technology.
Paul Pabst
Just remember, if it's gotta be clean.
Dan Patrick
It'S gotta be Tide.
Paul Pabst
Frank Caliendo will join us here in Vegas. Coming up in the final hour of the program, update the poll results. And seton with a mystery email or text message from your wife. Can you give that to us? Then we'll get to Nicole Briscoe. Maybe she can help answer this question. I think she can. Okay. Yeah. So I just got a text from my wife during the show and the text says read this post and some of the comments.
Dan Patrick
Oh no.
Paul Pabst
And it's a tweet. It's a link to a tweet. And the tweet says being 59 to 511 is the worst height for men. You're not tall enough to coast the dating market on easy street yet not short enough to be single mindedly driven to become a billionaire. So I'm, I'm five eleven and three quarters. I fall right into that window of this is the worst height for men because you're just kind of average. You're not really tall, so very attractive. And you're not short enough to just become a billionaire.
Dan Patrick
Should I tell you that my husband is like maybe 5 8, like if I'm 5 7, he's like maybe 5 8.
Paul Pabst
All right. Yeah, but he's a race car driver.
Dan Patrick
Yes.
Paul Pabst
So that comes in handy.
Dan Patrick
Okay, so like it got him like the edge there because he's small and he can fit inside the cars.
Paul Pabst
Yeah, it's like he's a Danette. I mean he actually aspired to do something greater than that. According to this, he's on the fast track to being a billionaire. I mean that sounds great.
Dan Patrick
That sounds amazing. Yeah, I, I don't know about the fast track part of it.
Paul Pabst
So then you start reading the. I started reading the comments. Yeah. The first one says 510 is like 150k a year. Comfortable but not impressive.
Dan Patrick
Okay, this is kind of average, right?
Paul Pabst
Kind of average. I guess.
Dan Patrick
Average.
Paul Pabst
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Because if you ask a woman what's the ideal height, she's probably going to say 6 foot.
Paul Pabst
6 to 6 2ish, right? Yeah, I mean that's what they're hoping for. So I lie like every 511 guy in the world lies and says they're six foot. Yeah, everybody does. How about a full intro here? Nicole Briscoe, the Sports center anchor, Formula One reporter, 11 o' clock Eastern. SportsCenter. We used to watch you in the morning.
Dan Patrick
Yes.
Paul Pabst
Randy Scott.
Dan Patrick
Yes, yes. Now I lead into him. Oh, you know, essentially the overnight.
Paul Pabst
Oh, yeah. ESPN will televise the Las Vegas Grand Prix at 11 Eastern this Saturday. What should we know going into this race? Oh, God.
Dan Patrick
That's an open ended question. What should you know? You should know that this is year three in Vegas and this event has changed so much since year one to now. But this will likely be the coldest race of the season, which could wreck it's absolute havoc in terms of grip and the way the cars handle on the track. But historically, this has been one of the best races of the year. There's a lot of passing. There's normally like, you know, passing can be difficult. So just like, buckle, buckle, buckle up. It's going to be a good, it's going to be a good weekend. We just need the rain to stay away.
Paul Pabst
But I wondered about that because NASCAR is built on, you know, the drama passing and you know, that's also oval racing.
Dan Patrick
So it's completely different.
Paul Pabst
But what I'm saying is Formula one doesn't have that many elements of passing.
Dan Patrick
It doesn't. So you have to take Formula one in sort of like in sections. You have the front of the pack, you, you have the midfield guys and you guys at the back. There is passing within the groups, there is competition within the groups, but the likelihood that say a mid pack team is going to take it to McLaren, probably not. But a Ferrari, a Mercedes, like a George Russell ran away with this race last year. They could easily be on the move against like a Red Bull this weekend. And then you could have an interesting battle in the mid pack. So there is passing. It just may not look like it.
Paul Pabst
From top to bottom, the, the driver and the car. Give me the ratio of, you know, we have this in horse racing, we have this in a lot of different things. So how would you assess that ratio of how good is my driver, how good is my car?
Dan Patrick
You can't have, you cannot have it all without having the best of both worlds. You re, you really can't. And I, I think there are some drivers who can like make up that gap you've got. I think Max Verstappen is probably the best example of this because I've always said I feel like Max can drive a shoebox. And I think this year in a lot of ways has almost cemented his legacy as one of the greatest drivers of all time. Because in years past, he probably had the best car and he ran away with the championship. At the beginning of this year, the Red Bull was sort of like, it was terrible, and he was still making things happen with it. And you'd watch the onboard sometime and you'd be like, how the hell is he driving that car? Like, let alone like, putting it near the front, being competitive with it. And so if you look at what they've done since they've made the upgrades, you've taken this world class generational talent and a driver, and then you've taken a great car, and they've taken a guy who five races into the season was like, I am out of this championship. And now he's very much in contention for the championship. So you have to have that. You look at McLaren, they have two great drivers, and they've made so much improvements to their car, and that's put them in the front of the field, but if the car falls off, then I don't really know if they're in the same position. It really is this. It has to be a solid relationship between the two.
Paul Pabst
We love to do greatest of all time rankings here.
Dan Patrick
Yes.
Paul Pabst
Lewis Hamilton, goat.
Dan Patrick
So you have to. It's a little bit like in the NBA, like, I'm a 90s kid. So, like I personally say, all greatest of all time conversations start and end with Michael Jordan. You do have to think generationally, you can't have like, the Michael Schumacher era is not the same as that they are now. So when you're talking about the greatest of all time, I think you have to include Schumacher. You have to include some of the guys from before that. And then, yes, Lewis Hamilton. But I also think you make a case already for Max Verstappen. You could look at some of the things that Sebastian Vettel did. He win four straight championships and is still the youngest champion ever.
Paul Pabst
It's.
Dan Patrick
It's an interesting sport and it produces a lot of greats. I mean, it's the. It's the pinnacle of motorsports.
Paul Pabst
But how do you grow up and say, I want to be a Formula one driver? We go, I want to be a quarterback, I want to be a pitcher. You know, that seems to be.
Dan Patrick
You have a bajillion dollars. That's usually a good place to start. I mean, honestly, you're talking at the end of the day, you're talking this year the 20 best in the world. Next year to be 22, because Cadillac is coming on board, but essentially, they begin driving at this tall, they're four. When they get into a cartoon, Jeff Gordon got into. Yes, exactly. You start at this age, and it's a little bit like you watch a guy who's a hockey player. They're still skating before they're walking. These guys are driving before they're doing anything else. And. And it's very cute when they're little. But this is an incredibly expensive sport, and most of the time, it has to come from, like, your family or your sponsors. And unless you are good at it, you cannot advance because no one's going to back you. And the amount of money it takes to. To be where these people are now is just. It's absurd.
Paul Pabst
What do they make? What kind of money are we talking about?
Dan Patrick
Like, I mean, I don't. I think when you look at, like, sponsorships and things like that, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility to say Verstappen brings in $80 million a year. That's my guess.
Paul Pabst
They don't have a salary cap in Formula One.
Dan Patrick
Well, they do have a cost cap.
Paul Pabst
Okay.
Dan Patrick
And so those things and. And the nuances of that I can't totally give you, but there is a cost cap, so they do have to operate within the budget. But I don't know if the driver's salaries are included in that. I'm pretty sure they're not.
Paul Pabst
We're talking to Nicole Brisco, the Sports center anchor, Formula One reporter, ESPN will televise the Las Vegas Grand Prix at 11 Eastern on Saturday. What do you remember about your first Sports Center?
Dan Patrick
Oh, my God. Like, so freaking nervous because McQuaid called me.
Paul Pabst
Mike McQuade runs ESPN, right?
Dan Patrick
Exactly. So I had been at ESPN for, what, seven or eight years because I had been doing the NASCAR stuff, and then when our NASCAR contract ended, they were like, come do SportsCenter. So I was like, that sounds like a 9 to 5 job, considering, you know, all the travel and, like, in our world, it kind of is, because it's. It's sort of normal. And so I was there, and I was doing, like, the rookie orientation, even though I'd been with the company seven or eight years at this point. And McQuaid calls me and he's like, we've had a stick call. We've got nobody left. And I was like, great. Cool. He's like, go. Go do this show.
Paul Pabst
And this is his voice, too, because, like, it's.
Dan Patrick
It's just like, nothing. Like, if he smiles at you, it's more like a grimace, and you're like, I think that's a good thing. I don't know. But also, I will say this about him. Like, we give him a lot of. He's the kind of person, like, I don't think he'll ever ask you to do something he himself wouldn't do. So, like, you kind of want to work for the guy. I remember being nervous, feeling like I had never worked in TV before. Shot cheats who.
Paul Pabst
Like, what the hell is this?
Dan Patrick
Like. Like. Like, stuff. It's like when they say about the game of, like, football, right? Like, you move from one level to the next, and you're like, well, the game is finally slowed down. The game was, like, in hyperspeed on that day one, and now, like, it's. You know, it's. Now it's slowed down.
Paul Pabst
Did you watch your performance back?
Dan Patrick
No, like, from day one. Oh, God, no. No, not that one. I watched others, but that one. I was just like, you know what? We're gonna. We're gonna remember this. We're gonna live in the moment, and then we're gonna. I know.
Paul Pabst
Like, you know, Polly, let's show Nicole's.
Dan Patrick
Oh, stop it right now. Like, you know, when you make mistakes, like, you know, so, I mean, you're just sort of honest. And I think it was February 14th. I knew the mistakes that I made, and I thought, I know where I need to improve. And so you just sort of, like, build on. On that. And I was just like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna enjoy it. And that's. That's what I. That. That's my takeaway from that one.
Paul Pabst
I used to watch the show back every single night.
Dan Patrick
Well, I. But I do now because it's. Most of the time I'm on the rear, so we close, and then I watch it on the way home. And so I watch it every night essentially, too. Don't.
Paul Pabst
No.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Because you know that you tape stuff, and so, like, sometimes you tape stuff and you've got segments, and then you don't really know how it comes together. Yeah, so sometimes I watch for that to see. Oh, that's what that looked like. That's how it came together.
Paul Pabst
Well, It's a different SportsCenter now.
Dan Patrick
It.
Paul Pabst
Yes, but, you know, doing the 11 for such a long period of time, I got. I was so fixated on making it perfect.
Dan Patrick
You can't, though.
Paul Pabst
I know, but that's why you got to stop it. You know, I was noticing my tie delivery on, you know, a pitch to a home run. Like, it had to be. It was really Minutia.
Dan Patrick
I guess maybe I'm not that much of a perfectionist. And I. And I think to an extent, there is part of that that has made me feel more comfortable in the role.
Paul Pabst
I think it's good to have that.
Dan Patrick
Yes. Because you get to a point where you're very comfortable with who you are. You kind of don't give a, you know, what about what other people think anymore, because you're. You're in your own skin. You know how you want to sound, you know who you are, and you stop trying to impress everybody because you know your own worth. Like, you're there for a reason.
Paul Pabst
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
And so if you can go out there and you can have fun, yes, you're gonna make mistakes. But, like, when you think about it, we're talking, and in the course of a conversation, how many times do you fumble your word? Just in the normal course of conversation, like, that's. That's a normal human experience. And if you expect yourself to go out there over the course of, what, 42 minutes and be perfect, it's an unrealistic expectation, and you're just automatically setting yourself up to fail. So I think I let go of that. But, yes, it's very easy to do. Just be like, no, you sucked on that one.
Paul Pabst
Yeah, I did it. Until I was reminded that you got the job.
Dan Patrick
Right.
Paul Pabst
That's what it took. Because I kept. You know how competitive it is in that building just a little bit, and it can be backstabbing. Everybody wants your job. And, you know, I was like, nobody's going to catch me. I'm not going to let anybody catch me. But I was not myself until I was told, you have the job. But this was a couple of years into it.
Dan Patrick
Oh, no, I. I definitely felt that way because I had. My youngest is. Is nine. Nine and a half. And I had her fairly early on into my, like, Sports center career. And I really took the minimum amount of time off because you're just. At that point, I was like. I was just starting to, like, find a groove and whatever. And even though the idea. The concept of, like, not taking time off to heal from having a baby, like, is ridiculous, I felt the need to get back as soon as I could because there's always somebody else waiting in the wings. Always the next generation is there, the next person. And so you feel like you have to justify your existence all the time.
Paul Pabst
My son, him and his wife just had a baby, so he gets three months off.
Dan Patrick
Okay, that's amazing.
Paul Pabst
And I. He said, dad, how long did you take. When he was my firstborn, I said, I think I took the weekend off.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Paul Pabst
And then I went back to work, and we had four kids under seven, which is insane. Yes. But of course I wanted to go back to work. I didn't want to stay at home. Yeah.
Dan Patrick
I mean, I actually had, like, a human attached to me, so it was.
Paul Pabst
Like, a little bit harder, you know, like. But I think I had a nation attached to me.
Dan Patrick
Yes. Okay, fine. I think I took. I think I took five weeks with Blake, and I think I took about the same with Finley. But the difference with Finley was now 12. She actually traveled with me for the first year of her life because that was. That was the easier thing to do because we were still on NASCAR back then. This business is wild. Telling you it's very glamorous.
Paul Pabst
I always tell people, you don't want to go into this business. You think you do, but once you.
Dan Patrick
Get in, do you know that that was actually the first career advice I got? Like, I was in college, and it was like doing a basic communications course, and the professor was like, what do you want to be when you grow up? And I gave my whole spiel of.
Paul Pabst
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Dan Patrick
And he. He was like, go get an internship now. He was like, because I know so many people who think they're getting into the business, and they think they're getting one thing, and what they actually get is not reality. He's like, you may hate it, and so I did. And then that's sort of what started the ball rolling on my actual career. But it's because I had this cynical professor who was like, this business sucks.
Paul Pabst
You know, it's a tough business. It is. But, you know, I find people who want to be lawyers, and then they become lawyers, and they go, I don't want to be a lawyer.
Dan Patrick
Yes. I have a friend who did that same thing.
Paul Pabst
Thanks for joining us.
Dan Patrick
Thank you for having me.
Paul Pabst
It's great to meet you.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, you too.
Paul Pabst
Nicole Briscoe, the Sports center anchor, Formula one reporter. Once again, the mothership will televise Las Vegas Grand Prix. They hate when I say the mothership at the mother.

Dan Patrick
What our health says about us and.
Paul Pabst
The way we're living. Like our episode where we look at diabetes in the United states. I mean, 50% of Americans are pre diabetic. How preventable is type 2? Extremely.
Dan Patrick
Or our in depth analysis of how incredible mangoes are.
Paul Pabst
Oh, it's hard to explain to rest of the world that like your mangoes are fine because mangoes are incredible. But like you don't even know. You don't know, you don't know.
Dan Patrick
It's going to be a fun ride. So tune in.
Paul Pabst
Listen to health stuff on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The forces shaping the world's economies and financial markets can be hard to spot.
Dan Patrick
Even though they are such a powerful player in finance and you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them.
Paul Pabst
And even harder to understand, Donald Trump's.
Dan Patrick
Trade War 2.0 is only accelerating the process of de dollarization, which in a way is jargon for people turning away from the dollar.
Paul Pabst
That is where the big take from Bloomberg Podcast comes in to connect the dots.
Dan Patrick
How unusual is a deal like this?
Paul Pabst
Unprecedented. Every weekday afternoon we dive deep into one big global business story. The biggest story of the reaction of the oil market to the conflict in the Middle east is one of what has not happened. Katie, you told me that ETFs are your favorite thing.
Dan Patrick
They are.
Paul Pabst
Explain that. Why is that the case? And unpack what it means for you.
Dan Patrick
Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples and so they sort of become outsized indicators of inflation.
Paul Pabst
Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. She said, Johnny, the kids didn't come home last night. Along the central Texas plains, teens are dying, suicides that don't make sense. Strange accidents and brutal murders in what seems to be a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad. Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people.
Dan Patrick
There are people out there that absolutely know what happened.
Paul Pabst
Listen to Paper Ghosts, the Texas Teen murders on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Robert Smith, and this is Jacob Goldstein, and we used to host a show called Planet Money. And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History, about the best ideas and people and businesses in history and some of the worst people, horrible ideas and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a need for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all. It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines use cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business. The most Texas story ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show. We have plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons. And you know what? They're not all bad. And we'll talk about some of the classic great moments of famous business geniuses, along with some of the darker moments that often get overlooked, like Thomas Edison and the electric chair. Listen to business history on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Little under the weather came down with strep throat here in Vegas, and yesterday was one of those days that we were off because we had to get the set built. And I came to the set and I said, you know, Paulie, you got to be ready. You might be hosting. It might be the Paul Pabst Show. And I actually had a doctor who came to my room and gave me a couple of shots, and hopefully it doesn't sound as bad as it did. I. I called the big German. I said, man, I'm in trouble. He goes, oh, man, yes, you are. He goes, I didn't recognize the voice. Yeah, Paulie, you came down to the set yesterday and you were sweating like Patrick Ewing in the fourth quarter of a playoff game. We went to dinner last night. I'm spitzing, as we like to say, Todd. We do. Yeah, but got some. Got some meds and rallying here. Yes, Todd, Usually room service would be like a turkey club or an omelet. You're getting Like a shot in the butt is your room service. I know, I know. Very nice woman. Then I realized that's what she does. She is like the doctor on the strip who, you know, takes care of special people, I guess. Yes, Marvin. So these are flu games. Yes. Okay. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Paulie, you know, it's. I know she can't give up who she works on, but that would be like, an interesting TV show of a doctor that goes to places and takes care of people. I'm sure the celebrities don't want to be. Yeah, I. I mean, I wouldn't want a camera in there. She said, you're gonna have to pull down your pants. And I'm like, okay. And then gave me two shots. I don't know what she gave me. Maybe, like, the masked singer with cortisone. She walks in and who are we putting a jab into today? It's Dan Patrick. Yeah. And when you say you're giving somebody penicillin, you know, here in Vegas. And then I'm like, yeah, that'll do it. That'll clear it up. That'll clear. Penicillin. Yeah. A couple days. Yes. Yes, Todd. And you're initially diagnosed with the Fontaine flu, but now it's strep throat. I just want to make sure we got that on record. Fountain flu. Fountain blue. Fountain flu. Yeah, it's a whiff. See? I try. No, no. What's wrong with fountain flu? Okay. You still want to be able to do rhyme time? I do. Okay, I will rally with rhyme time, then. We're gonna wait till tomorrow. Tomorrow at noon, Eastern. Yes. Once we say. I hate to say this, Todd, but I liked you better when you're very sick and not communicating. It's honest. No offense. Alejandro in California. Alejandro, welcome to the program. Good morning, amigos. Five, eight and a half, 200. Okay, Dan, I don't know how you expect to drive 225 miles an hour when Fritzi's in the left lane. Thank you, Alejandro. Just go around me and you can go 300 miles. Yeah, you would. You'd be an interesting driver. You know, you. You don't let anybody pass you tailgaters. Yeah. Adam in Indiana. Hi, Adam. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. And Danhads. 5, 11, 203. This one's for Seaton on the cool surfer. The rodeo or the F1 driver. I know you're kind of looking for a fourth. How about a professional rock climber? Have you ever seen the documentary Free Solo and that super athlete? Yeah, we've seen that. And no, I want nothing to do with that. Alex. Alex. Yeah, he's the, he's the, he's the goat. Michael Jordan. Yeah. I don't know. There's. He's the Mount Rushmore. But he's the only guy on Rushmore. Because he could climb Mount Rushmore. Yes, the, the, you know what, the. One of the craziest scenes of that, just where he's like sort of, you get a real sense of his strength. He's living in a van, I think at some point, because he's just traveling to all these places that he's rock climbing. And part of his workout every day is hanging just by his fingertips off the sliding door of the van. And he's got his whole body in the air and he's just hanging there like that. Like basically doing pull ups just on his fingertips like that. It's crazy. It doesn't seem glamorous to be a rock climber. I'm gonna, I'm gonna say that because it's kind of baller, though. Yeah, but you don't really have an audience there. Not a lot of groupies. No, I don't think you have a lot of. Like, if, if you say, I'm into rock, you know, there's one way to go. Oh, okay. Yeah. What kind of music? No, no, I'm into rock. I, I actually climb rocks. Yes, Marvin, Some of these professions, they might be more attractive based off of the region that you live in. Right. So if you're a pro surfer and you're in California, all right, you're the man. Same thing with bull riding. If you're in Texas. All right, you're the man. That can maybe only happen regionally. Almost like being a NASCAR driver. You might be the man in North Carolina, but not the man in Indiana. Yeah, but Formula One. I can be the man all around the world, all around Europe, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Todd, it seems like a very lonely sport if you can't get tickets to it. If there's really no spectators or they're many thousand feet down with binoculars trying to catch a glimpse of you with the ropes. I don't know if that's really. You never see a sideline reporter on a rock climbing event with a little belay. Hey, I just want to get. How's it going so far, Alex? And let's go to Aaron Andrews on the side of El Capitan Aaron David in Ohio. It's a good two minutes. Yeah. Hi, David. Hey, Dan. I got four rhyme time here for you. I got. All right, here's the first one. Mako Van Thanksgiving. Mako Van Thanksgiving. Seaton Eaton. Yes. I was like crashing, gnashing. Yeah. Next one I got tiny hands and hungry. Tiny hands and hungry. Marvin Starvin. Yeah. All right, next one, Paul Steam. Something you sit in. Paul, there's something you sit in. Bears chairs. Nice Bears chair. All right, this one's for Todd. Real quick. Broncos QB football, Knicks kicks. No, no, Broncos QB football. Something you do with the football throw as opposed to Knicks kicks. Okay, Go throw. Yeah. Well, you know what? Now that David's done it, we don't have to do your. We all benefit. We all benefit. Go ahead, give me a rhyme time. Just a sample for tomorrow. You. I'll give you one. I'm gonna go. Two days scrambling through his papers. I know he's got. He sent me five emails this morning on rhyme time here. Okay, these are just one. One Vegas themed. Ready. Wine gambling establishment. Wine gambling establishment. Pinot casino. I have vino casino. But we could accept, you know, casino. Okay. Wine gambling. It's going to be fun. Okay, well, I can't wait till tomorrow we get the full list of rhyme time. Frank Caliendo is going to join us and it's not good for radio, but it is good for morale when he does his Todd Fritz impersonation by just using his facial expressions. Frank will join us. Coming up, final hour of the program. We're back, Las Vegas after this.
Dan Patrick
This is an iHeart podcast.
Date: November 20, 2025
Podcast: The Dan Patrick Show (iHeartPodcasts & Dan Patrick Podcast Network)
The second hour of the show comes live from the Fontainebleau Hotel in Las Vegas, with Dan Patrick and the regular crew (Paul Pabst, Fritzi, Seton, and Marvin) mixing signature sports insights with humor and pop culture.
The episode centers on NFL MVP talk (with Dan declaring Matthew Stafford his top pick), debates around football’s most intriguing quarterback situations, and a deep dive into Formula 1 with ESPN’s Nicole Briscoe, covering the drama, strategy, and personalities ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
“Matthew Stafford. Okay, not even close...He was the one guy said if he stays healthy, the Rams can win a Super Bowl because of him.” (08:27)
“I think we thought, you know, J.J. McCarthy had as much pressure on him this year as anybody because of who they got rid of. ...that is. That's a big miss right now.” — Dan Patrick (10:55)
“Brad Pitt did a movie on Formula 1—he’d be like the eighth best-looking F1 driver. He’d be like eighth. No offense.” — Paulie (17:41)
Nicole Briscoe joins to preview the Las Vegas Grand Prix and discuss F1’s growth.
“Just like, buckle up. It’s going to be a good weekend. We just need the rain to stay away.” — Briscoe (26:30)
“A Ferrari, a Mercedes…they could easily be on the move against a Red Bull this weekend…There is passing. It just may not look like it.” (27:56)
“Max can drive a shoebox…he was still making things happen with it. …You have to have that." (28:11)
“It’s a little bit like in the NBA…I personally say…all greatest of all time conversations start and end with Michael Jordan...You have to include Schumacher…yes, Lewis Hamilton. But I think you make a case already for Max Verstappen...” (29:36)
“This is an incredibly expensive sport. ...Unless you are good at it, you cannot advance.” (30:34)
“You stop trying to impress everybody…you know your own worth.” (35:25)
On Stafford’s MVP Candidacy:
“Matthew Stafford...if he stays healthy, the Rams can win a Super Bowl because of him.” — Dan Patrick (08:27)
On F1’s Unique Vegas Race:
“This will likely be the coldest race of the season, which could wreck its absolute havoc in terms of grip and the way the cars handle…” — Nicole Briscoe (26:30)
On What Makes a Great F1 Driver:
“Max can drive a shoebox…he was still making things happen with it.” — Nicole Briscoe (28:11)
On Life in Sports Media:
“You stop trying to impress everybody...you know your own worth. ...You're there for a reason.” — Nicole Briscoe (35:25)
On Bull Riding Glory:
“You don’t want to be on Buck Nasty this year. He’s four for four with buck offs. He’s leading the league. That’s a real name.” — Paulie (13:01)
This hour gives both serious NFL and motorsports fans something to chew on—from why Dan’s convinced Matthew Stafford is MVP, to why F1 is such a unique and exclusive athletic dream. Nicole Briscoe’s candid, illuminating look at F1’s world draws in even racing rookies, while the crew’s signature mix of irreverent humor and honest sports insights makes this a lively and enjoyable listen—especially with big events looming in Las Vegas.
Next Up: Frank Caliendo joins for impressions and more sports fun in Hour 3!
