All right, the NBA free agency month got underway this weekend and the biggest ish news is LeBron is going to stay in Los Angeles. I don't know if anybody's surprised. I think the surprising part was his agent, his representative, Rich Paul kind of making it, well, not kind of making it public of hey, LeBron wants to win. Now we know you're thinking about the future. The future is now for LeBron James. I'm sure the front office really appreciated Rich Paul going public with that and saying what didn't need to be said. I think the front office is well aware that this might be LeBron last year, but he's going to opt in. He has a no trade clause and I didn't know if it was going to be a two year deal or a one plus, but by all accounts it's a one year deal. And Rich Paul pointing out to the Lakers that LeBron still wants to win. All right, poll question. Seaton, what do we have? But we got two of them right now. We have up there in which league is it toughest to go from worst to first. And I only put up three right now. I put up NBA, MLB and the NFL toughest to go worst to first right now. Major League Baseball is winning that one. But I think that's going to change. We also have to put up there and this is a little bit of a topic, but is there a term for a player who is neither a bust nor a star that goes first overall? So deandre Ayton, yes, this is called the deandre Ayton poll. Okay. Because I think he's going to be a free agent. He was number one pick, but he was also number one pick in the draft that gave us Luca and Trey Young as well. But deandre Ayton, he went to the University of Arizona and the owner at the time, I think Robert Sarver thought let's keep the local talent in Arizona not thinking that Maybe we get a generational talent or a worldwide talent, but not everybody knew about Luca. And I mean, let's be fair about this. That I did watch. I watched highlights of him in Europe and I. I just thought that he was barely getting by people, barely getting his shot off. And then I realized that's what he does in the NBA. He barely gets by you. Barely gets his shot off, but he does it every single time. Trey Young, I thought was going to be a thing. I thought that he. He would be a guy who could be a specialist. Turned out that he's a really good passer as well. But deandre Ayton, I don't think he's bad enough to be a bust, but I don't think he's good enough to be one of those guys that you look and say he was worthy of the number one pick. Yes, Paulie, he's been in the league, DeAndre Ayton for seven years. He averages about 14 and 10. He's had the best season, was his second year. He averaged 18 11. He has never made an all star team in seven years. I don't think he's going to make it all. No. So we know what we know about his career. Yes. We need a term. Disappointing. That almost seems harsh. Unfulfilled. Yeah, you could do that. Like we're looking for one word. Yeah. Not a bust, nor a star. All right. Yeah. See, when you look at number one overall picks for years and years and years surrounding that one, he's doing pretty well compared to everybody else. He's significantly more successful than a lot of dudes that went number one overall. It's A lot of times it's just like Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf. You know that Ryan Leaf was viewed a bust. He was never going to, you know, and. And it made it worse because Peyton was one of the greats of all time. So sometimes Sam Buoy, not his fault, but he was injury prone. And you know, they ended up taking Sam Bowie in Portland. Michael Jordan was in the draft. So I think that has to do with how we look at you. Of we could have had him. And Aiden is serviceable. I could see him playing for the Lakers, but I don't know if serviceable is. I don't know. Hey, how would you describe his talents? Serviceable. Yeah. Paulie also in that draft with DeAndre Ayton, Luca, Trey Young, as you said, SGA and Jalen Brunson were in that draft. Okay. Yeah. That doesn't help in how we look at you. But. But if you said, hey, this guy's going to average 16 and 10 for his career, and he's the number one overall pick. I'm good. If he was like the eighth pick in the draft, you'd go, hey, wow. All right, 1610. That's good. Yes, Mark. See, he needed to be in the Anthony Bennett draft. There was nobody in that draft, man, good career by him. Yeah. Cabs. Cabs would have had a good guy, good player. 16 and 10. Serviceable. Yes. You'll take it. I would. I don't know what the ceiling was when you say unfulfilled. Unfulfilled because he's the number one pick or was he a guy that people thought, man, this guy is going to be. I thought Jaren Jackson Jr. III was going to be great. And. And he's. He's really good, but I thought he was going to be great that he could play defense, offense. He. He could shoot. He had range, block shot, you know, all those things. But he was in that draft, too, wasn't he, Marvin? Jaren Jackson Jr. The third. Did he go like third? Twas all right. Yeah. So I don't know. If we look at the ceiling and then go like, how high is the ceiling for Deandre Ayton? And if he's that good, why is he on the move again? Yes, Marvin, because he's just serviceable. Okay. He's not a franchise changer. And I think that's the issue. They were thinking about the old school days of the 90s. We need a dominant big man. And you had Trey Young and Luca right there. But to your defense, nobody knew Luca. Nobody. Yeah. Yeah. Paulie, we need a comp in another sport. A player who has taken number one overall, probably a quarterback who didn't have a bad career, just never really paid off. Sam Bradford, serviceable. I don't think he made a Pro Bowl. He made a lot of money. Yes, he did. So did Deandre Ayton. Yeah. That's Sam Bradford. Might be it, because Jameis Winston's been a bit of a disappointment, but he had some decent years. I'd say more of a disappointment for Jameis. Yeah. As the number one pick. But wasn't he the first member of the 3030 club, which you don't want to be. No. You don't want to be in that 30. 30. Yes. Yes. Baseball doesn't really have this conversation because you don't know anybody until it's like, all right, let's see if that $450 million is worth it. That's Going to be tricky. But there aren't really busts or anything. Yeah, I mean when you think back and you go number one pick in the draft, it's because the number one pick normally doesn't go right into Major League baseball. We get 10 of these dudes in the NFL and the NBA. We get a million of these dudes a year. Then you don't even have to be the number one overall pick. But we focus, I think we focus on the number one pick in hockey probably more than we do in baseball because it feels like those players are generational talents and chances are they're going to be playing in the NHL right away. Yes. Paulie one that stands out. 2009, we covered him a lot. Steven Strasberg out of San Diego State. He was supposed to be it. In this last 20 years, he was the most. Before Skiings, the most publicized pitcher going into the league. He had a good career. 113 and 62. He made three all star teams. Never won a Cy Young. Oh, he did win over 100 games. Yeah, I got him. Well, he pitched 13 years, 113 wins. He had a couple of good seasons with over 15 wins. 113 and 62. Three All Star appearance. I remember and I liken Steven Strasberg to Jadavian Clowney with the hype because I remember John Smoltz was talking his first game he did in the minor leagues. Steven Strasberg, I remember Smoltz was talking about. They were. Had these glowing reviews like he was the perfect pitcher. He was the perfect pitcher. Jadavian clowning. Oh my gosh, we've never seen this before. When the mothership went out to his pro day and. And there's no perfect player. There are times when we look at somebody and you, you can't miss. Well, you can miss. We've seen that happen. And Steven Strasberg was just like Mark Pryor. Mark Pryor was the perfect pitcher. Now the Dodgers pitching coach, you had experts who were looking at him and his form, everything about him. It was great. He's going to be dominating. Well, he wasn't overused with the Cubs with Kerry Wood and never really reached that potential that people had for him. But when it comes to number one pick in the draft in baseball, I don't think that we even remember like that guy was ninth, ninth round draft, you know, Albert Pujols, what was he? 13th round draft pickers. And you know, we just don't think about it that way or it feels like you're giving away the Future of your team. Because maybe you missed on the number one pick in the draft in football or in basketball. That certainly is the feeling. Yes. Marvin. I don't know much about hockey, but I do remember this name when I was young, about him being the next guy. Eric Lindros. Yeah. I think he was the number one pick overall. And they talked about him like crazy. Well, he had concussions, and, yeah, he wasn't able to live up to the hype. He was supposed to be like, that's the new hockey player. He's big and he's fast. Powerful. Not quite Lemieux, but that feeling of, you know, wow, he's different. Let's see. John in Pennsylvania. Hi, John. Best and worst of the weekend. Hi, Dan. 6, 6, 1, 2, 20. Today I. I'll start with my best of the weekend. And I don't know if you've seen this, but Omega ball. I caught Omega ball. It's fascinating. It's soccer played in a circle, and it's three teams every 33 degrees. On this circle, there's a goal, and you got 15 guys going out there for the ball. Not a big soccer fan, but this was really cool. If you get a chance to catch some Omega ball on the mothership, it's. It's. It's neat, it's exciting. It's a smaller circle than a regular soccer pitch, but I don't know if you've seen it. Maybe Paulie has, but very, very, very cool. All right, my worst of the weekend. As I was wrapping up the weekend, last night, I caught some of the Air Guitar Championship Air Jam off. And these guys are dressed up in costume. Some like the Ultimate Warrior. There was a Freddie Mercury in red. There was some. And they're air guitaring, and it's a train wreck. It's a. I couldn't take my eyes off of it, of course, but I just. I got the chills, you know, those embarrassment chills that you get when somebody does something just so stupid. All right, well, thank you, John. I would say you probably need to get a life. John. Just saying maybe you need to maybe stream. Maybe stream something. Yeah, a lot of things to stream. Thank you, Joe. Yes, Paul. I didn't see those events, but I did watch some of the National Darts Championship this weekend. And the coverage, whatever you think of darts, the coverage is fantastic. They know how to produce that show. It's like the place is going crazy. Backroom guys went, yeah, Dylan, Ray, bad Larry, I think came up. They went. It was Madison Square Garden. They went to the Dart championship. Let's see. Steve in la. Hi, Steve. What's on your mind? Hey, now. Dp. Hey. Hey. Just want to give you a compliment, complimentary comp. You guys are the Howard Stern of sports talk radio. That's one thing. That's a great comp, by the way. Another nickname. I got a nickname for you. Black Jesus. Michael and I also wanted to ask you when. Yeah, Friday. You guys were. You were talking about kind of being broke. Not poor, but broke. Not having enough money. When you were young, what was the nicest thing or the first nice thing you bought when you started making money? I'll hang up and listen. Thank you, Steve. Yeah, we weren't poor growing up. We. We just didn't. There were certain things we didn't have. We were limited. How's that? Six kids, and we had one and a half bathrooms, so. And having two sisters. And you just did. You just dealt with it. But I. I feel bad if I embarrassed my brothers and sisters by comments that I was making. We just. We didn't have things, that's all. But, you know, we. It made us better workers. That's why we're all pretty successful in what we do, you know, our different walks of life. But no, we. We just didn't have that stocked refrigerator. And, you know, you go to your friend's house and all of a sudden there's like Twinkies there and Ding Dongs and you get chocolate milk and Wonder Bread. Like, there's things that stand out when you go to somebody else's house and that, you know, that happened. But I just remember one Christmas went down the street and this family. You couldn't walk. You couldn't walk on the floor because the entire floor was full of gifts. And we got three gifts at Christmas, and even then it didn't. You weren't necessarily getting what you wanted. And, like, it always sucks. Always. You know, your stocking stuffer was full of socks and underwear, and you're like, okay. Or gloves. And you're like, all right. You know, but, hey, no, boohoo. Made us stronger. At the time, I was pissed, but. But, you know, I learned to. I learned to deal with it. Yes, Marv. It's like, did you go to your friend's house and see name brand cereal? Oh, yes. Like, whoa, you have Froot Loops. We've been eating Fruity O's. Yeah. You know that when there's soda in the refrigerator and you're like, wait, can you just take that? And yeah. Do you want. You take a Coke if you want one? Damn. What is this? This exists. And then you go home, and then you say to your mom, I was over at Scott McKevitt's place, and his refrigerator is packed. Well, why don't you spend more time over at Scott McKevitt's place and be like, okay, yes, you were more reasonable asking for something like a can of soda. We would see, like, the new Atari video cartridge at someone's house or something that was far more expensive. And we throw a temper tantrum until we got that. Oh, no, we. I remember the greatest Christmas I ever had. I was playing with a gift, and then my mom came down and she said, oh, that's your brother Bill's. So I had to give up the best gift I ever had, and it was my brother. Because it wasn't for you. It wasn't for me. No. And I'm like, God, this is great. And I think my mom mislabeled. And all of a sudden I'm like, dang, this is awesome. And all of a sudden she goes, oh, Danny, that's for Bill. What? What? Once again, it made me stronger. Made me stronger. I'm stronger. All right, when we come back, we'll talk some gambling and the FBI. Or there's a. There's an investigation, a federal investigation into a member of the NBA's Detroit Pistons. We'll take a break.

More of your phone calls as well. Seaton Poll question for hour two is what? Well right now we got up there for hour one. Which sport is it toughest or which league is it toughest to go worst to first? Early results? Ish. Still Major League Baseball at about 53%. NBA and NFL is split Okay, I don't know if that's correct. I really don't know if that's right. We're still trying to workshop some ideas for the deandre Ayton Poll question. Okay, you're not a bust and you're not a star, but you. You Went number one overall. Are you? Some people have said efforting in progress after seven years, I don't know if anything's going to change. But if the Lakers need a big man and Brook Lopez isn't the answer because Laker fans are like, hey, what about Brook Lopez? He's not a rebound. Like, he's not an inside guy. And he's old. He's a. He's a good perimeter player, but he's not your typical big man. So David Purdom covers gambling for espn. And the story is Malik Beasley of the Pistons. There's an FBI probe with him. Well, David joins us now. What exactly is Beasley accused of doing? So federal authorities are investigating him all on allegations of gambling on the NBA related to games and prop bets. That's according to his attorney. So exactly. The details of which games and what went down with him are still unknown at this time. But he is the third NBA player in just the last 18 months to be reportedly under investigation by the feds for betting allegations. And he joins John Tay Porter and Terry Rochear. Okay, this is different than the NBA investigating what. What happens when there's a federal probe. How do they investigate as opposed to what the NBA would do? Well, this all started back again with the John, say Porter thing. And they subpoenaed some of the sports books for betting records for individuals that they suspected may have been involved. And so my working premise is that they probably had those subpoena records, the betting records went through, and see what some of the unusual betting activity on some of these other games. So they're working through everything right now, communicating with the sports books, the attorneys and so forth, to see where it goes. Okay, but give us a red flag. Give us what happens when all of a sudden somebody goes, wait a minute, something suspicious? That's a great question. And when bookmakers really are convinced that something is untoward is going on is when they move the odds, right? So a prop bet may be over under two and a half for rebounds or whatever. And instead of moving, you know, up to four and a half to adjust the big on, if you want to bet the over, it may be minus 200 when they adjust the odds and the betters don't stop betting it and just keep betting it even though these odds have moved against them, it is a major red flag. In fact, some bookmakers will tell me they will do it intentionally moving, overly aggressive move. These odds so crazy that nobody that was really trying to bet it seriously would keep betting. And yet people do keep Betting it. And then they know, oh, something's going on. How dangerous are prop bets since an individual can control a lot of what his numbers are. Yeah, certainly they are more easily to be manipulated than a full game if you just have a player that's over under on rebounds or three pointers made or points. That's what happened with the John Tay Porter situation. There was all these bets on unders on his statistics. Then he took himself out of the game within minutes and so all the unders hit. So Parliament. Excuse me. Prop bets definitely are a concern. There's a debate to be had whether we should be offering in the regulated market prop bets on all these individual players. Well, I know that college took away the prop bets or the, you know, Vegas took away prop bets on college athletes. Correct. Some of the states have. Vegas has not. I think there's about 18 states that now prohibit individual player props on college athletes. Yeah, because you know, that's tricky when you're a college kid. And you know what happens here, David, I mentioned this, that these guys probably think nobody's going to notice this. Hey, I'm going to do this. Nobody will notice. Well, Vegas has to notice this. Like they have, like, it's imperative that they notice these things. And anybody out there who thinks nobody is going to notice if I do just this or this and I play for this team, nobody follows. You know, University of Alabama, Birmingham, they do. They have to. You're right. 100 and you'll hear people go, oh, the sports books are in it. No, the sports books are the ones that lose. When these bets are not on the up and up, they are the ones that detect it. So you're absolutely right. There things, there's. What's the saying, you know, two people can keep a secret. If it gets past there, it's over. Greed starts to get involved. Hey, I made a little money here. I'm keeping it quiet. Let me tell my buddy. He makes a little bit money. All of a sudden there's this flood of money coming in on these random games that people are like, where is this coming from? So it does to get detected. NBA hasn't responded yet to Malik Beasley. That's correct. They said they are cooperating with the federal investigation. Good to talk to you again, David. It won't be the last time I talked to you. David Purdom, he covers gambling for espn. They notice these things. They're just little things. But you know, they need to have all of this like the transparency. And that's why when, whenever there's a gambling controversy scandal. I always look to Vegas and say, you did your job. Because they have to notice these things. Now, that doesn't mean you still can't manipulate a game and get away with it. But I think it's if, if you're playing a long game, you're going to get caught because it's their job. They're losing money because you're trying to make money. And prop bets, I know they're fun, but those are the ones that you can manipulate. If you're over under is two and a half rebounds. I mean, and I don't know how much money. A lot of these books won't let you put a lot of money on prop bets because, you know, it feels like that's more of a. That's a fun bet. But if I have over under on Shea Gilgis, Alexander, 33 and a half points, I don't know if there's a limit on what I can put on that. But if it's, you know, John Tay Porter, 2 1/2 assists in a game, hey, how much money can I put on that? And if you do put a lot of money on it, doesn't that kind of jump out at you and you go, wait a minute here. Yeah, Paul. And it's actually easier to get caught these days. Back in Vegas, there was no paper trail back in the Vegas days. And now with all these different casino commissions, they don't want these things to happen. And so when there's a red flag of a betting in a game with an LSU Alabama baseball game, that story a couple years ago, they turn in those spikes of bets. They turn them in because they don't want this to happen. And, you know, whether it's DraftKings or FanDuel, those are the two big ones, you know, those are all monitored because they want it to be legitimate. They. I mean, the last thing you want, if you're the commissioner of any of these leagues, you cannot have a gambling scandal, certainly not the NFL. And they had one back in the 60s with Paul Horning and Alex Karras, and those guys got suspended for a year. But they monitor. I don't care where you are, they're going to monitor. That's why you'll find a lot of guys who don't want to bet through these regular sites, you know, or they'll have somebody that they know who will bet through these sites, or you do something where you have an illegal bookmaker because they don't want to be declaring, you know, the profits here. So there's a lot. I mean, this is. It's only going to get worse. From the standpoint of these kind of moments here. There's billions and billions and billions of dollars at stake. And that's why all of these leagues, every one of these commissioners probably said publicly, will never allow gambling. Roger Goodell, I think in 2012, oh, we'll never. Will never do that. I went, okay. And then all of a sudden, they realized, what is my piece of the pie? Holy bleep. Gambling for everybody. Yay. I mean, I. I would love to find out exactly what changed in 2012 to now for the commissioner of the NFL, just philosophically, what happened? What. What changed here that, as we have always said it was, we're not going to allow gambling until we found a responsible way for all parties involved. And that's what we find today. And we found out how much money we're going to make. Billions and billions of dollars. Oh, the righteous. The righteous commissioners. Yes. Paul, you remember about six years ago, a defensive back for the Arizona Cardinals got caught. He walked up at the Caesar Sportsbook in Vegas and made a bet. They identified who he was, and the sports book turned him into the Nevana gaming Board. And then to the NFL. Went right to the NFL. He got caught within days. You're not invisible. You think you are. Nobody will notice this. Hey, I can do this. That'd be fun. Hey, I want to bet, too. No, you play in the NFL. You're a wide receiver. But I would like to. Come on, I want to have some fun. Hey, I'll place a bet for you. Yeah. Whenever pro athletes get caught for a little betting scandal, there's always some people on social media say, oh, it's so hypocritical. All of us can bet and the leagues are taking money. Why can't the players bet? I go on flights and I'll have a beer when I'm in. You know, Coach, because I'm having a beer, I don't want the pilots to have a beer. You know what I mean? We're in the same plane, but they're not allowed to have a beer. I am. Yeah. Amazing. And I know, look, I speak from experience, but I have a type A personality. And I. I realized that you can get in and get underwater quickly. And it feels like now society has made it feel, in my opinion of what's wrong with you. You're not gambling. Wait, you didn't place a bet. And it's way too easy. If it's fun, if it's if it's monitored, if. If you do a good job and understanding. Exactly. You're never going to win. Okay. If in you. You might win temporarily, you don't win. Usually in the bigger picture here, you know, if you pick, like, 53% of the games. Correct. Like, you're doing really well. If you're an NFL book, you know, prognosticator. It's just. It's difficult. And even now I have information. I still wouldn't bet because even when you talk to people, I. I just would. I just know how this works. You lose. I'd lose two games on Saturday, then I would try to double up and win on Sunday, and then I'd go all in on Monday night. And no. Bad. And I. I get it. I understand it that people get in and then you can't get out. But now it just feels like. What's wrong with you? You're not gambling. You don't have a bet. Robbie in Idaho. Hi, Robbie. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. How you doing? Good, good, good, good. Got a term for the. For the All Star is on All Star. And bus is a bus. The one term word I channel my daughter, who calls my wife mid because she doesn't dress glamorous and she doesn't dress crappy. So mid is the word. They're not great. They're not superstars. They're not bus. They're mid. Mid. That sounds like young kids. Like Riz. Like charisma. Yes, Paulie. Yeah. My daughters keep me up on all this. And about two years ago, mid was. I'd be like, oh, what do you think of that car that's kind of mid? I'm like, oh, like mediocre. Yes. Cap. No, Cap. Yeah, yeah. Is there any other one that I need to know? It goes by year. Cap was about four years ago. Yeah. Riz was about two years ago. Mid was about two years ago. Okay. What's now? They still call anyone bra. Even girls. Bruh. They started every sentence with bruh. Really? Yeah, like bro. But bruh? Yeah. Low key. Low key is a way to introduce almost any sentence when my daughters like low key. Dad, you're not taking us to the ice cream place. And I'm like, I don't know what you're saying. You figure it out when you hear all the kids say it. Low key is a big one. I could low key pass this test if I just study for 20 minutes. Yes. Marvin Sus is the thing my son's been using, but he's also in fifth Grade. So it trickles down. Yeah. Paulie's daughters are older, but like, oh, dad, that's so Sus. Call me Sus one more time. Is that suspect? Yes. Okay. All right. The kids. I know that my kids couldn't say three words without saying the word like. It'd be like, and. And then, you know. And then like. And then, you know, and then like. And I said, can. How about we take out like? And they go, what do you mean? I go, no, every third word is like. And they're like. And then like. And I go, see? Like, I didn't even really. Like, I didn't know I was doing that. Yes, Paul. Also, boyfriend and girlfriend are not common words. They're talking. Yeah. What's going on with Jane and Steve? They're talking. Oh, they're talking. That means Jane and Steve. Old school. Timmy and Sally. Logan and Riley. What's going on with Jane and Steve? Oh, they're talking. Yeah, they're talking. Those are actual names. Okay. All right, we'll take a break. Our best and worst of the weekend. And they could be middle right after this.

Sometimes the answer is yes, but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this Taser the Revolution.

He is dynamite. 13 strikeouts, one hit over seven innings. Tigers over the Twins. He is the first Tigers pitcher to win at least 10 games before the All Star break in consecutive seasons since Mac Scherzer did it a decade ago.

All righty Todd Best and Worst of the Weekend Best of the Weekend I went with my wife to see F1 over the weekend with Brad on Saturday. Brad Pitt and that was a feel good movie this summer and I really liked it a lot. I know Seaton a while back saw it with the sun and I thought it was really really good. I don't watch a lot of F1 personally, but I got into it. Worst of the weekend. Passing. You mentioned it earlier. Passing of two time World Series champ, seven time all star, nlmbp, two batting towels. The Cobra, Dave Parker. He's going to. He was going to be inducted into the hall of Fame next month, so the timing was extra terrible with that. Yeah, yeah. See, no Connor. That F1 movie, by the way, is like. It's kind of Top Gun ish, but with Formula one, it's really, really good. It's really good. Okay. My best of the weekend, UFC317. Ilia toperia. He is now the lightweight champion. He's 17 and. Oh. So he's got a perfect record. And from what I read, I don't pay attention to UFC that much, but lightweight seems to be the most competitive division in ufc. So those stakes, that stage, that's pretty spectacular for him. My worst of the weekend, Lance McCullers Jr. Back injury through three innings and a third. Gave up eight runs, three home runs, two in a single inning. Just got absolutely cooked. That's not the way you want to come back from injury. No. Sorry, buddy. No. Marvin. Best and worst. My best or worst, depending on which way you look at it. The Angels walked national slugger James woods four times. That's the first time somebody's been intentionally walked four times since Barry Bonds in 2004. I don't know whether you want to call that the best of the worst, but. And look, he's good. He's 22 years of age. I mean, are you walk worthy? They're treating him like bonds 4 MVP bonds. Yeah. All right. My other best. It was announced we're on the season premiere, Celebrity Family Feud. Oh, that's right. Yes. Yes. July 10th, Thursday night. It's the Dan Patrick show on display against Rich Eisen's team. Yeah. This the season premiere. Oh, it is. Yes. Really? Yeah. The season premiere. Yes. Yeah, they're. They're going in and everybody's going to have a tough act to follow after this. I think Taraji P. Henson, her team, I don't know who they're facing, but they're on. On the same hour show with us. Yes. Jennifer Hudson. Oh, okay. All right. So, like, I think it's an hour show with two half hour games and we're. We're in there. Yeah. Okay. Are people going to be surprised? Without giving anything away, will they be surprised when they see our episode? And this is just yes or no? I. I don't want to get into details. We were told we're not allowed to Talk about. We don't want to spoil anything for anybody. Will there be any surprise? Will people be surprised at anything? Marvin? Us? No. Okay. Paul? No. We're all about content. Todd. I don't think so. No. Satan. Will people be surprised? Yes, I do think so. Yeah, I do, too. I think people are going to be surprised. Yes. Yes, I do. I do. So, Marvin, Best in worst of the weekend. Yeah, I did my two. Okay, Paul. Best of the weekend. I'm going to go back to the National Darts Championship. The coverage is unbelievable. The way it's produced, the music, the pace, the crowd. It's really good tv. I did like two hours on it. Worst of the weekend, I don't have, but the NHL draft, right after the NBA draft, they announced their trades before the pick. They make sure the draftee sticks around and if he needs another picture with said hat, they get it. I don't know why the NFL and NHL can announce trades before pick and the NBA can't. I don't understand it. Next time the commissioner's on, I'll talk to him. Let's play the NFL trade game. Do we have some music for the NFL trade game? There it is. All right, Paul. It's a little fill in the blank, Dan. Okay, Blank. Have finalized a trade to acquire all pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey from the Dolphins. Sources tell Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Blank. The Rams. No. Who would like to go next? Todd? Minnesota. No. Marvin. The Ravens? No. Seaton? The Dallas Cowboys? No. The Pittsburgh Steelers are acquiring Jalen Ramsey from the Dolphins. We're all in it. Think they're getting pretty serious over there. We're all in it for at least one year. Yeah, at least one year. Okay. Paul in Iowa. Hi, Paul. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. Hey, Dan. Well, I have a best of the weekend for you two. Des Moines Buccaneers drafted straight to the NHL in NHL draft. Shout out to Ben, Kevin and Eddie Engel. Going straight from the USHL to the NHL. And then a thought on your middling number one pick conversation. I heard Sam Bradford's name mentioned, but quarterbacks can't be used. They're just outliers in money and draft position. So how about the Tron Walker Award? 2022 number one overall pick. 10 sacks in each of the last two seasons. Pretty serviceable. No, that's good. I'm fine with that. Thank you, Paul. It's. People just don't remember that he was the number one pick, but Max Crosby came out and said he's the best pass rusher in the game and look forward to playing against the best quarterback in the game in Patrick Mahomes twice this year. Yes. Mark. Trayvon Walker's up there with Eric Fisher. As far as the most unknown number one pick ever. Russell, Maryland. There's also one. Yeah. When you get the. There's no quarterback available. Jake Long. Yeah, Jake Long certainly in there. That's a good call. We'll get some more phone calls coming up. 877-3-DP show email address dp@danpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show. Let's see, anything else that I watched over the weekend. I watched the, the golf over the weekend, watch some baseball over the weekend. Cfl. Yeah. Unless it was on replay or something. But I just tuned in and all of a sudden it's like Canadian Football League. And what's, what's the. The Red Blacks. Is that what they're called? Yeah, yeah, the Ottawa Red Red Blacks. Great team. Okay, that were the. They were the Rough Riders or the Rough Riders. There were two Rough Rider teams. Well, one had Rough and then Riders and then one was Rough Riders. Two hours in the books. One more to go on this Monday Dan Patrick show. Why is a soap opera western like Yellowstone so wildly successful?
