Hope you were with us in the first hour. Actually, if you weren't with us in the first hour, you may have benefited as well. I'm not quite sure what happened that first hour, but we were treated to a song that we didn't ask for, but Fritzy in the middle of the night woke up, wrote it down and decided to perform it. And it had to do with the small market matchup that starts tonight in Oklahoma City. The Thunder and the Pacers. The Pacers are nine point underdogs and there is a chance. I hate when the media says somebody has no chance. They have no chance. Well, you do have a chance. If you're playing, you're still playing. You have a chance. You know who doesn't have a chance? The Knicks. They don't have a chance. They're out. Or the Celtics or the Cavs or the Nuggets. It's the Thunder and the Pacers. So you're saying there's a chance. And if history has taught us anything, it's this. You have a puncher's chance. That's all you ask. Now it is seven games. I think Indiana would have a better chance if it was a one game, you know, one and done. And, and even this game here, like if, if Indiana's stealing a game, it feels like it would be this game. But they started out as a nine point underdog and the Sharps betted up to now it's nine and a half there with okc. But we've seen this before. If you go back, obviously the jets with Joe Namath and Super Bowl 3 and a lot of that had to do with and here's, here's something that maybe people don't follow when there's upsets, when you go, oh my God, how did that team beat that team? A lot of times we don't focus on that other team being old enough to understand. The Baltimore Colts in 1968-69, they were a powerhouse. You had Don Shula as their coach. But you know, Johnny Unit is they had great defensive players. They're the Colts, they're in the NFL. And nobody gave the jets any, you know, any chance at all. They were 18 point underdogs. And then Joe Namath guaranteed they were going to win it. Well, the difference in the AFL at the time and the NFL was the AFL was about wide open offenses. And now granted, the final score was 16 to 7. So it was about defense here. But, but it's because I don't know if people, the media knew enough about the AFL as much as they were overwhelmed by the NFL. You go back to the Mavericks when they beat the Big three in Miami, okay, if you looked at the Dallas team, team, it was a really good team. You had the big three, and you go, well, they, they have to win. Well, nobody thought about Jason Terry or Dirk Nowitzki going off in that series. And they ended up surprising them. The 04 pistons took down Shaq and Kobe, Eli Manning and the Giants when they beat the Patriots. And you know, the reason, part of the reason why when I went on David Letterman prior to that super bowl and said the Giants would win the super bowl was because they had already played the Patriots at the end of the regular season. And I thought, okay, we've taken the mystique out of this. Can the Giants beat the Patriots on a neutral site? And I truly felt that they could. And it turns out that their front four dominated and Eli made a couple of plays. Now it's. This is different. The Pacers are a really good team. I think people now have come to that conclusion. But you go kicking and screaming because you're probably watching, you go, all right, that's kind of cute. Oh, yeah. Okay. Halliburton. All right. Pasco Siaka. Mary. Who's this Miles Turner guy? TJ McConnell seems kind of spunky. Rick Carlisle. Yeah, he looks like Jim Carrey. Yeah, we know all this stuff. But then you start to watch them play and then you realize it's a quality team. OKC to me, is a far better team, but far better doesn't always win. But a lot of times when you have the one now that if the Giants play the Patriots 10 times, do I think the Giants win seven or eight? No, I do not. Do I think they could win half the time? I do. If I looked at the jets and the Colts and if they played again, well, I still like the jets, but I think with Don Shula, Johnny Unitis and the Colts, would they figure out a way to counteract? Yes, I do. And maybe they win six out of 10. But all you have to do, you know, if Gordon Hayward shot goes in, Butler beats Duke and that's an all time upset. Also, when you talk about all time upsets, the Giants beating the Patriots is an all time upset because it was Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and they were undefeated. That's what makes it even bigger. More important, the jets beating the Baltimore Colts and Don Shula Johnny unit is like, you have to have that. When UCLA back in the day, if they lost, it was huge because it was ucla. But I think that also factors in as well. You know, you're not looking at OKC as, oh my God, you know, they're the 72 Lakers. You're not looking at them that, you know, they're the Golden State warriors because there's that unknown and, and they haven't won championships before. OKC is a big, big favorite. Huge favorite, one of the biggest in the last 25 years. And if they've earned it because they played this way, they played great, they've been consistent. But Indiana, I think is 48 and 16 since the beginning of January. And you can say, okay, the east isn't as good as the west, whatever your rationale is, but there's a chance. There's a chance. It's like the Pacers playing the Knicks. Well, the Knicks just beat the Celtics. Pacers have no chance. Knicks got home court advantage. Okay, what happens? Puncher's chance. Halliburton gets a shot to go, oh, game two. They're in for it now. They're going to get blown. Pacers win game two. Wait, now all of a sudden, oh, you know what, the pressure's on the Knicks and because of all those fans that show up and okay, whatever your excuse was, Indiana was a better team. But sometimes you'll look at and go, oh man, what an upset. And then you realize it's not an upset. Yes. Marvin, you mentioned the 2011 Dallas Mavericks that beat the Heat. Their coach, Rick Carlisle. Rick Carlisle, Yeah, look, they were down 2 1. The Dallas Mavericks to the Miami Heat. He put him in that zone defense and the Heat did not know what to do. He completely out coached and outclassed Eric's poster in those finals. So he might be able to do it again against an unexperienced coach. Yes. Paulie, you know, we talked about this all throughout the Knicks Pacer series that the Pacers are just out shooting them. I looked it up. The Pacers are overall the best shooting team in the entire NBA. If you combine twos, threes and free throws and that could keep you in any series. I know they're great defensively, okc, but you could shoot your way out of anything. Yeah. And you could shoot your way into anything in today's NBA. That's why we have these huge points swings. When you're down 20 with 10 to go and you come back, you know, the old NBA, that doesn't happen. But now, I mean, it just feels like it's commonplace. And maybe you get one of those moments. And if you're an Indiana Pacer fan, you need one of those moments. One of those moments where you win a game and maybe you shouldn't have. You got to put a little doubt into okc. They haven't been here before. You got to have some doubt there. You got to make them go horrible because for the most part, they haven't had. Now, keep in mind, Denver could be in the championship. I mean, Denver went seven games with them. They are beatable, but you got to beat them four times. And that's. That's what's the. That's the uphill climb. That's Mount Everest. To beat a team that has home court advantage and you got to beat him four times. Yes. Marvin. Yeah, the Pacers are going to need like another great Knee Smith performance or an Andrew Nebhart performance where. Who had 30. Yeah, they're gonna have to have one of those. Great performance. Last night it was the Oilers in overtime. Leon Dry Zano and they go up 10 on the Florida Panthers. It's playoff hockey. This is a sport where it doesn't matter who's playing. To me, I'll watch. Doesn't matter because inevitably it comes down to one goal and a moment and then you go to overtime. There's nothing better in sports. Overtime hockey in the postseason. And it was fun last night to be able to watch that. And Edmonton down 3 1. And I'm going, oh, because Florida doesn't give up lead. I mean, Florida wins these games. They're the ones that come back from three one. And all of a sudden kind of McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Yes, I do like that. If you pay attention just a little bit long enough, you start to understand some of the personalities of some of the players. Like, I love that. Like, Brad Marchand's always going to get into something. Yes. You know, he's always going to start a little bit of trouble somewhere in the series. I love little things like that. And watching the coverage there, it's great to see Gretzky there, you know, in Edmonton and Wayo's talking about, you know, Connor McDavid and. And Wayne is so humble that he'll talk about the greatness of Conor Mc. You know, Wayne's the greatest player of all time, but he's talking about Connor McDavid and they're talking like he could be the most talented player, most skilled player to ever play the game. But you got to win a championship. Got to win a title. Yes, Mark. Now, I don't know anything about hockey, but the Oilers, are they on that same level as the Raiders, Yankees, Dodgers? As far as uniforms? Oh, I was gonna say that you and Paulie go, you're the uniform police here. Because those look like the same uniforms Gretzky wore. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Paulie. They've changed very little. Hockey changes very little the old school teams. But the Oilers uniforms were always great. But they were branded with Gretzky and Messier back in the day as great team, great uniforms. The greatness of Gretzky made the uniforms even better. And that's why I think if the Padres back in the 70s were actually good, then we might look at those uniforms differently. Or with the Tampa Bay, the Creamsicle, if they were good, then maybe we would look at. We would have looked at those uniforms differently. Because there are certain uniforms where you go, man, they look good. And because that team is really good. Otherwise you'd be like, although Marvin loves his Toronto Blue Jays, you think it's the best uniform or best logo or it's the best logo on sports. But hockey, from top to bottom, has the best uniforms. I love those Dallas Stars. That green. Damn, is that good. Gorgeous. Love it. Okay, a couple of phone calls in here. Gabriel in North Carolina leads us off. Hi, Gabe. What's on your mind today? Hey, Good morning, Gabriel. Six foot tall, 240. Give you guys a call and say thank you for everything you do. Not only part of the dead dad's club, but also the medical squad. I've been battling cancer for almost four years now, and you guys have been there day in, day out. Brought me so much joy and laughter. Love you guys so much. Including you, Fritzi, very much. But I also had an idea for your last show in Atlanta. It's going to be hard to be able to see the show, especially if you're just, you know, meandering around, etc. I would like to get on that list. You guys should start a list now of people that can visit the show and watch from the outside. I've always been so jealous, you know, those people have been able to Sit there and watch the show. And I would love to be there and thank you personally, especially on your way out the door. All right. All right, Gabriel. All right. Yeah, that's. That's a ways away. The super bowl in Atlanta. By the way, just got word that Jay Harris, sports center anchor, prostate cancer surgery next week. I think Jay's been there for 23 years. He's one of the nicest people. I'll start with that. One of the nicest people I've ever met. And a true, true, true professional sports center anchor. Nobody says a bad word about Jay Harris. So my thoughts are with you, Jay. I just saw the news that he announced that prostate cancer. And look, people come back from that and. And he will. But, you know, there's always that, you know, you say cancer. I mean, it used to be when you said cancer, it was basically, that's it, say goodbye. But. And, you know, they've done so much great work with the V Foundation with cancer research, and Jay has been, you know, front and center when he would anchor with Hannah Storm. And they would be, you know, asking you to donate to the V Foundation. Hopefully those who donated can help Jay Harris, that those donations do help him, and that he will be back doing Sports Center. But, Jay, I love you. And we'll make the smooth segue from something really sentimental to Eric in North Carolina. Hi, Eric. What's on your mind today? DP I am six one in 220. Nice. And I tried really hard to be funny, but I started this song way too high. So I'm just going to say goodbye. Goodbye, dp. All right. Thank you, Eric. Thank you. Nice effort. I mean, that's how you follow up a cancer announcement with Jay Harris is a song from Eric singing. Lovely. Yes. And in case you missed Todd's song from the first hour, be thankful it wasn't your best. It wasn't. You know what? It wasn't bad enough. Yeah. Like, sometimes it's so bad that it's funny. And then the audience claims that. I don't like the audience because I allow you to sing. And they do have a very valid point there. Speaking of losers, the Colorado Rockies. Wait a second. Not so much losers these days. Okay, So I said to Fritzi, reach out to the Colorado Rockies and see if Jack Corrigan, their play by play guy, can join us because they've been historically bad. Well, he reached out a couple days ago, and all of a sudden they went three in a row. So Jack will join. I wonder if he's going to be cocky you know, like, ah, how about us, the Marlins? They're straight. Yes. Well, we're told that they beat the Marlins. Nobody was there watching the game, though, so I'm going to take people's word for it that they beat the Marlins. Oh, when a tree falls in the forest. Yes. Doesn't make a sound. Yes. Thank you, Todd. All right, we'll take a break. More phone calls coming up. We're back after this Dan Patrick show.

Said to Fritzi we should reach out to the Colorado Rockies. We've been talking about them. They were off to a historically bad start. The run differential is on pace for an all time high and they were going into Miami. And so Todd reached out to Jack Corrigan. He's been the play by play voice for the Rockies for 23 years. So he's had the highs and the lows and the very lows and then all of a sudden the Rockies win three in a row against Miami. Jack, I don't want to take credit for it, but I'll take credit for it. How would you explain this week so far? You know, it's first of all great to be with you, Dan. Enjoy your show. I've enjoyed your work for a long time. A couple of Ohio guys. So you know that's a good thing. Well, the most obvious aspect of it is if you had looked at the Rockies First 50 games from college football, strength of schedule. They had the toughest strength of schedule. I mean they played all the first and second place teams and so that was an immediate challenge for a team that's in the process of trying to remake themselves. And so when they played the Marlins the past three days, it was the first time in five weeks that they had played a team below.500. And so they were able to match up a little better. It's still going to be a challenge because of where they are, talent wise, but at least we'll thank the Dan Patrick show for getting the Rockies three wins. But going to work. And, you know, baseball is about hope. And we always, you know, have hope for our team, and everybody thinks they can win in spring training, but you're going there every single day and, you know, chances are we're going to lose. How do you approach your job and try to keep that momentum, enthusiasm, excitement and hope up every single game? That's a great question. You know, I. I was fortunate, kind of in a backhanded way, if you will. When I started with the Indians back in 1985, three of my first seven seasons covering the Indians, they lost more than 100 games. And so I learned early on in my play by play time, if you will, to really compartmentalize. The great Joe Tate, may he rest in peace, who was my first baseball partner, outstanding basketball announcer in the Basketball hall of Fame for his work with the Cavaliers, Joe said to me, he goes, baseball's 162 chapter book. All you do is worry about the chapter that night and, and maybe one of the best things he said, you know, you can be an awful team, and you're going to still win 50, 60 games. So you tell yourself, well, tonight's one of the nights we're going to win. You get all excited, you do it, and then if you don't win, you leave the ballpark feeling even better because your odds have just improved by a game that you're still going to win 50 or 60. Do you bring it home with you when you lose? No. Well, my wife might disagree with that. I think I've learned to separate it. I mean, I'll feel it. You know, I was a college athlete, and I've always been competitive. So when you aren't winning, yes, it does impact on you because you build a relationship with those players and, and coaches. But again, that's the beauty of baseball, Dan, is the next day you start over again. And who knows, this is a. A game that day where Pal Freeland's going to go seven innings and pitch great like he did yesterday for the Marlins, or Hunter Goodman, hits, hits a couple of home runs. And so that's what fortifies you, if you will. I know you don't want to bite the hand that feeds. But how did the Rockies get in this situation? Well, I think you can certainly look at where they are in terms of they have to be a draft and develop team. You're not going to get a free agent pitcher to come and pitch at altitude. It's just that simple. So you're from a pitching perspective, especially, you have to draft and sign international players that give you a chance on the mound. And through a number of years of rolling the dice and missing in the draft with players or having injuries happen, I think they have struggled to keep up in terms of depth of talent. And I believe they need to fortify their scouting department. They need more scouts out on the road. They need more coaches on the road. You know, the Rockies have, for example, at their low a team, they have three coaches. Well, when I started with the Indians in 85, the low 18 had three coaches. And the way the game is now, you need more than that, and a lot of teams are doing that, so. But the ownership is not committed in that regard. It does not appear to be that way. I would certainly agree with you on that. That's the challenge that maybe this year finally pushes them over the precipice, if you will. And. And they spend some money in that regard. They do have some good young talent in the system, but again, probably not enough to overcome the misses and the injuries. And that's the result. 12 and 50. Do you care how bad, you know, like the White Sox, historically bad. Like, if you guys are going to be bad, do you want to be historically the worst team in baseball history? That's a great question. I mean, and sometimes I say that to people with, with a bit of humor. You know, hey, if we're going to have a bad season, let's make it historic. I remember talking with Len Casper, who does the White Sox, Lenny, a great broadcaster, last season as they were going through it, and he says, hey, you just, it is what it is and you hope that something changes out of it. And so I guess out of this year, Dan, you know, you hope that it does finally. I don't think it'll be any kind of seismic change, but you hope there's some kind of change to not go through this again. Yeah, you brought up the point I was going to bring up. Do you reach out to fellow announcers who have gone through this? Because I can't imagine, you know, you got to sit there. You got to sit there and call it and it's right in front of you and. But hey, you guys are only 25 games behind the Dodgers, so it was 27 a week ago, Jack. That's, that's right. We're making progress. The one thing out of that, and Len and I talked at, Len Casper and I talked about that last year. The advantage with radio is you have to be so descriptive so you can use that. I, I think it's harder on the TV side where you're not doing all that basic description. The, the video provides that, so you end up talking more conversationally. That's the challenge, I think. Keep your head up, keep your sense of humor, and I think you're going to need it, Jack, here in the second half of the season. Well, Dan, I appreciate the, the chance to visit with you and, you know, it's still a great job. 40 years of them letting me go to the ballpark and paying me for that, I'm doing okay. It's Jack Corrigan. He is the play by play voice for the Colorado Rockies radio network. He spent 17 years with Cleveland prior to that. And the Rockies sweep the Marlins. Now they get the Mets. Boy, the Mets, they better be ready. They face the Rockies. That'll be coming up this weekend. It's got to be tough. You know, you, you have to go to work and granted it is a game and it's baseball, but, but you still, you're watching, you know, an organization that failed you because he's talking about you don't have the infrastructure there. And, and it's not like you're five games or 10 games out. You're 25 games out. I mean, you've only played six. You got 100 games left. And I think that's the disappointing part is because you can go back. Colorado had some really fun teams now, not great pitchers, but they had some really fun hitters. And I loved calling the highlights. Vinny Castilla, Andres Galarraga had some great, great fun guys. But you know, the whole thing about altitude, you know, did baseball think, hey, should we have a team here or what can we do with a team here? Hey, you know, balls are flying out all of a sudden. You know, your batting average when you went there, your power numbers or your era and then all of a sudden it's like, we got a problem here. Yeah. Paulie, do you think historically, if you're an agent for a Colorado Rockies pitcher, you prorate their stats when you present them to the free agent market or even back to the Rockies? I think, I think that would be a great idea. Yeah. You would have to categorize Those stats or put them in some type of perspective that this is the Rockies. So the batting average is 20 points higher. No, no. I would just say let's look at the road numbers. Yeah. That's all. And then if I'm an agent for a Colorado Rocky hitter, I say let's just look at the home numbers here. The home splits here. All right. Trevor in Santa Monica. Hi, Trevor. What's on your mind today, Dan? First time, long time. 61 1, 90. Yeah, I just wanted to comment on what you guys are talking about with the Canadians fans. If they're from Calgary, which I am from Calgary born and raised, every Canadian fan is rooting for the Oilers, period. Really? And as we all know since what, 93 Kings, Montreal. And it will. Okay. If it wasn't for Marty McSorley, stick. I am surprised at that. Thank you, Trevor. I don't know if everybody agrees with you. I just think you're so territorial with your team. Yes. You want Canada to, you know, be back with, you know, having the cup, but I. I just don't know if there's no way a Toronto Maple Leaf fan is going, you know, good for Edmonton. Joe in New York. Hi, Joe. What's on your mind? Hi, Dan. I have to agree with the previous call from Calgary. I spent a lot of time in Canada and they are territorial about hockey. One of the things that will make you almost cringe is they got ice or ice water from like all these rinks from players on the Oilers from different places in Canada, like Ontario and Nova Scotia, wherever to put on the ice. And everybody in Canada pretty much knows somebody who's a professional hockey player. So not only do they root because they're a Canadian team, but they root for an individual player because they grew up with him or, you know, he played juniors in their town. So hockey, it's not a big country. Obviously. It's only got, you know, 35 million people, but they are really pro Oilers and hate American teams. All right, thank you, Joe. This feels different than last year when we brought this up and then we heard from a passionate Calgary Flame fan and it just felt like it was mixed of. Do you root for Edmonton? You're rooting for Canada. Are you rooting for Ed? I'm rooting for Edmonton. I am, I am. Does that make me not a Patriot? Anti Florida. Anti Florida. But I do respect the Panthers. Man, I wonder what's changed since last year and this year. Dennis in Michigan. Hi, Dennis. What's on your mind today, Dan? I love what you guys do. Thank you so much. Trevor is absolutely right. Every Canadian is pulling for Edmonton and the other caller is right as well. There is more multiple allegiances in hockey than in any other sport. You may have had a player play at a local college, University of Michigan, go on to play for Minnesota, and you root for Minnesota. But the previous caller is right. In every small town, some kid went and played junior. Like Sidney Crosby played in London, Ontario for the London Knights. You root for Pittsburgh, even if you're from Ontario. Gretzky's from Brantford, Ontario. He played for the Sioux Greyhounds. And I claim part time Canadian status, extended family cottage in Iryo, Canada. But it's not like dropping off a kid at a school and then the school has the child on the baseball team or football team. Families are so much more involved in the development of hockey, getting up early, taking them to the rink, taking them to different towns and travel leagues and so forth. The association between kids teams and towns is much more. It's much deeper than what it is in any other sport. Thank you, Dennis. I appreciate that. I'm happy for that. But I just thought that, you know, the different teams and provinces and you're just not going to be rooting for another team even though they're Canadian. Let's see. Walton, Baltimore. Hi, Walt. Hey, DP 58160. I don't know what, I don't know what these Canadians are thinking. If the Steelers, as a Baltimore fan, the Steelers ever played a different country like Germany or England in American football, I would never root for them ever in a million years. Okay. But that's, that's not the reason I'm calling. I was listening to the Stern show the other morning when I was driving to work at 3am and it played a bit back from 2000 where you won the Stern show or the F. Emmy. Yeah. And that's when Jackie called you. And actually I think like the Cubs fan or some, some Cubs fan. And it was Captain, Captain Jenks who called in and pranked me on SportsCenter. Yes. Yes. And you said you only had taken four calls in, like your whole history at SportsCenter. Want to see if you could reminisce, see what the, what kind of reaction did the mothership give you? And if you've had any other prank calls in your career. All right, thank you, Walt. I'll take a break. I'll open up the scrapbook. Story time with Uncle Dan. When Captain Jenks called into SportsCenter and he said that he was Steve Bartman. We'll take a Break back after this. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9:00am Eastern, 6:00am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio. Hi, Zoe Saldana. Welcome to T Mobile.

See full terms@mintmobile.com watched some hockey last night. Also watched softball. Texas Tech. Texas. Man, I've watched a lot of softball. It's fun. It was exciting. And then Texas Tech has this pitcher who's getting paid a million dollars nil for softball. It's the last name. Canada. Canada. Najari. Canada. Man, oh man, oh man. Man. And she pitches every inning. Yeah, she's a workhorse for him. Yes, Todd, they could have used that baseball rule where you just point instead of throwing the intentional walk. Four pitches and just put the person on base. Yeah, that was aggressive. Going after a pitch that was near the strike zone. Controversial ending there. Yeah. A million dollars for a pitcher. Women's softball. Yeah. Paulie. I know with women's softball they could pitch almost unlimited, but it's got to be weird to be the second or third best pitcher on a team and you're like, am I getting in? No. What? I'm going to stay in my line, not stay in my lane here. Would the sport be better if that you had to have a different starter every day or something like that. As long as you can pitch. I love that she's out there and, you know, you got to gear up for her. I love it. It's like, damn, Nolan Ryan's going to the mound again. But I think Patrick Mahomes was involved in the recruitment of her. I think she came from Stanford. But, man, it's fun. It is. It's exciting. They've coverage been really, really good. Yes. Todd, aren't you amazed by that windmill motion? Besides the fact that they can throw it that hard and with control that you're not gonna rip your shoulder apart, it just looks like after throwing that 10 times with that windmill motion, your shoulder would just explode. My dad used to pitch like that, and I've seen little videos from when I was younger, and I'm like, I don't know how they do that. How does that not put crazy pressure on your shoulder underhand like that? Throwing 70, 80 miles an hour. So your dad was in fast pitch softball. He was in a fastball pitch softball league, and he would do the windmill thing and that. You know, he would take his hook shots and basketball. He was very athletic. And I'm like, was. It was wild looking at this old. I need to see what his ERA was, though. I mean, I'm taking your word. I'm not sure how successful he was as far as wins and losses in era, but he threw really hard. Roger in Iowa. Hi, Roger. What's on your mind? Morning, Dan. 612 away. By the way, nobody breaks down hockey and women's softball the way we do. You're welcome. Yes. Roger, I watch you on Peacock every day, and I was wondering on your last day in the man cave, would you allow the Danette to take one thing home with them? And Dan, it's. What would that be? The answer is no, but I'd still be curious what they would take. Todd, last show, you can pick anything in the man cave. I haven't played it even one time, but I keep seeing it right in front of me. That NBA pinball machine looks pretty awesome. Okay. I thought I'd put that in my. That's right over my shoulder. Okay, Seaton, one item and then we say goodbye. Probably the Landon Donovan jersey that's hanging down the hallway there. The game used. It's game used. I think he was like, really sick. Something in that game. And I think he scored, like, a huge goal. I forget what game it's from, but it's notable. Yeah, it's definitely notable. That was from the Confederation cup where they beat Spain, I think, but I think he scored against, like, Algeria or something. That's not that. That's not that one. Oh, it's not? No. He wouldn't just let us hang that outside of our bathroom here. That one's bigger than that. Whatever. Whatever the match was. There's grass stain on it. It used to be above the toilet in one of the bathrooms. Now it's made its way out of the bathroom, so that's good. Look, I'm running out of space here. Yeah, that's one of the things that people don't realize about this place is that when you walk into any one of the number of bathrooms are here, there's probably an amazing jersey hanging right above the toilet. All right, Marvin, one thing. Your original Air Jordan ones that are right over here in this little area where Weeks, our camera guy sits. Yeah, that for sure. Okay, Paulie, one item. I probably go with my wallet and keys, but I can't have two. I would go with the Tony Stewart charred quarter panel that he sent to us. It's a very unique item. I don't know where I'd put it in my house. I don't know if my wife would allow that in our great room. All right, well, then I'll. I'll consider that. You know, maybe we'll have a draft. Okay. And it's not a snake draft. We don't go up and then back. You get one item. Are you sure we can't have two? No, one, because I have two. I have another one that I really want. One like that one I grabbed for my kid. You could have that. I really want to take the Odorous Mask. That Odorisk was the lead singer of gwar. He's no longer with us. He's unfortunately gone back to space. But the Odorous Mask is. He didn't give that to anybody. And he gave you one. I would take that in two seconds. And when I asked him, I said, can I have the mask? And then he gave it to me. And then Seaton was like, I can't believe he gave up the mask. He doesn't give those things. I know. Yeah. Yes, Paul, I will yield my pick to allow Seaton to have two because he seems very passionate about those, which I respect. Okay. I'm much more curious, and I'm not making a joke. Here. What your plan is with everything in this building after we stop, because it is beyond overwhelming. My wife and I talk about this and since I own the building, she said, would you just keep everything in here? And I'm thinking that maybe I just do that. I just leave everything as is. But then I don't know if somebody's going to come in and do a show after me when I'm gone. That's what I think you should do to be real is lease this out as a production facility and leave a good amount of the sports memorabilia and maybe ESPN or Fox or someone would want to use it as a ready made production facility. You could do well there. Yeah, maybe. Maybe somebody wants to come in and host a show here. Yes. Then the question is, would you be able to control yourself enough to not walk through here during the day and be like, I wouldn't do that. That's not where it goes. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Back here by the fireplace. This is where the bottle. Okay. I would not. You would totally do that. I don't think that that's how you swung crooked. I would not. But I would critique where you put things in the show. That's true. Yes, I would. You would have to move out of this state and then let the building be. Do it. Well, I would come maybe in the morning to the show and then after the show, but not during the show, that I would just do a drive by and go, let me see what they got going on, who delivered something. And we get great things. You know, the audience has been so generous in sending in things. You know, I've got a lot of Jerry west items since he passed away and, and I try to display everything that I have as. As much as possible. Like Tim Tebow's last home run that he hit and he sent me the bat. I mean, that's pretty cool to have here. But just different items that I don't know if they're valuable to anybody else. I mean, that I would always keep the Kobe Bryant jersey, All star jersey, number 24. When Kobayashi said, you know, to the white mamba. That's awesome. Yeah. When he, when he sent that to me, and I'm like, I. I would always keep that. But yeah, there's a lot of great items here. All right, we'll check in with the NBA Finals. Tim McMahon, he covers basketball for the Mothership. He'll join us. Coming up. Update the poll results. Seaton. I don't know if I've gotten. I've inquired about an update with the poll results. Yeah, we have a couple going. One of them was a hot topic. Oh, by the way, best jerseys sweaters in hockey. You go to danpatrick.com and we have kind of a March Madness of best uniforms in hockey. Yeah, like a bracket style thing. Yeah, we were talking about Edmonton. As great as they are. I love those green Dallas Stars jerseys. All right, what else do you have? Is 9:45am Too early for a non tailgating hot dog right now? 59% of the audience say no, it is not. The comment section on this on social media is fantastic as you would expect. It's great as you would expect. One of the backroom guys says he wants a a Creed album that went platinum. That I have in here. Got a lot of stuff in here. Final hour in this Thursday after this.
