Main Theme & Purpose

This hour of The Dan Patrick Show covers reactions to Super Bowl 64, quirky stories surrounding the Olympics and sports memorabilia, a lighthearted debate over Disney park traditions, football analysis with Mike Golic Sr., and fan calls about sports traditions and Valentine’s Day conundrums. The segment is filled with humor and sports insight, candid banter among the Danettes, and memorable reflections on sports culture.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Fragile Winter Olympic Medals

• [02:00] The crew discusses the Winter Olympics committee's investigation into medals breaking apart.
  • Dan: “Wouldn’t that be the top priority when you’re making these medals—making sure these medals stay together?”
• Athletes are reportedly told not to celebrate too hard or jump with them; the panelers joke about using glue or Scotch tape as a fix.

2. Super Bowl Recap & Disneyland Tradition

• [04:35] Ongoing poll: “What will you remember this Super Bowl for?” (Options include Sam Darnold, Kenneth Walker Jr. III, Patriots offense, Bad Bunny; Bad Bunny is leading.)
• [05:09] Discussion about Sam Darnold and Kenneth Walker Jr. going to Disneyland after the Super Bowl, even though Darnold wasn’t the MVP.
  • Dan: “In the moment, if I would say to Sam Darnold, ‘You want to give the money back and just go home?’ he probably would’ve said yes.”
• Walk down memory lane: the origins of the “I’m going to Disneyland!” phrase began with Phil Simms in the late 1980s, who was paid $50,000 for the gig.

3. A Dose of Theme Park Parenting Advice

• [09:08] The team shares personal (often comedic) parenting wisdom regarding trips to Disney parks, elaborating on the right age for kids to appreciate the experience.
  • Dan: “Why spend the money if they’re not even old enough to remember it? What’s the point?”
  • Recommendation: Wait until kids are at least four; older is better so they truly appreciate it.

4. Life as a Sports Parent

• [12:31] Hilarious banter about the cost of raising children and their appreciation for expensive family trips.
  • Marvin: “My son doesn’t pay for anything. He better like it. We’re going to Disney. Great. You don’t pay for anything. Scrub.”
  • The crew continues to riff on the freeloading nature of kids and lasting love for Disney.

5. Fan Call-ins: Curling, Cooper Flagg Buzz

• [15:12] Callers discuss the semantics of “curling” as a sport and back Dan up against playful critique.
• Cooper Flagg Discussion [17:12]:
  • Huge praise for the basketball phenom:
    • Dan: “He said at times he was the best player on the floor; I said, ‘Oh man.’ So we’ve been well-versed in Cooper Flagg for quite some time.”

6. Mike Golic Sr. Joins the Show

[24:01]

a. Super Bowl 64 Immediate Legacy

• Dan: “15 years from now, when I say what do you remember about Super Bowl 64, you will say what?”
• Mike Golic Sr.: “Defense. Just like I say about when Tampa Bay won it...Baltimore...the Bears in ’85...This one was led by defense.” [24:14]

b. Bad Bunny Halftime Show

• Golic: “It’s not going to make me become a Bad Bunny fan...But I thought it was entertaining...That’s the most I’ll ever listen to Bad Bunny.” [24:36]
• He draws a parallel to opera: people enjoy the spectacle even if they don't understand the language. The NFL is broadening its international appeal.

c. Patriots, Drake May, and Quarterback Analysis

• Golic evaluates the Patriots’ future with Drake May, likening his situation to C.J. Stroud’s early NFL trajectory.
  • Offensive line issues and lack of run game were highlighted as reasons for New England’s struggles.
  • Golic critiques the offensive play calling: “They combined [Stevenson and Henderson] ran it 13 times and this was a 9-nothing game at halftime. I’m surprised they abandoned the run.” [28:25]

d. MVP Debate and Defensive Excellence

• Golic believes Devin Witherspoon could have been the Super Bowl MVP due to an exceptional defensive performance.
• Notes Seattle’s unusually clever defensive scheming and how New England’s offense couldn’t adjust.

e. Super Bowl Heartbreaks: Rams & Bills Fans

• [31:18]
  • Golic: The Rams and Bills likely feel they were one play away from the Super Bowl.
  • Remarks on a crucial play by Zach Charbonnet and how home/road advantages are often decided by small moments.

f. Running the Ball, Turnovers, and Classic Football Lessons

• Dan: “It always goes back to...play great defense, run the football, and don’t turn the ball over.”
• Golic: “Sam Darnold had 14 interceptions and 6 lost fumbles...20 turnovers and had a goose egg in the postseason. Zero turnovers. Right into the perfect formula.” [33:30]

g. Redrafting the QB Class

• [34:02]
  • No major changes in the top three (Drake May, Caleb Williams, Jaden Daniels), but Bo Nix would go higher than McCarthy/Penix after their respective seasons.

7. Valentine’s Day & The Super Bowl Overlap

• [35:34] Fan call-in about next year’s Super Bowl falling on Valentine’s Day; Dan and callers joke about marital survival strategies.
  • Advice: “If she loves you, then she’ll love that you love your Packers. I mean, bring her with you!”
  • “Valentine’s Day is every year. The Packers going to the Super Bowl is not every year.” [37:43] Marvin

Notable Moment

• Humorous recounting of Fritzi accidentally sending a racy text to a family group chat (wife plus son and daughter) during Super Bowl week.
  • Dan: “He sent a sexy message text to his wife that included his son and daughter.”
