Dan and the Danites Dan Patrick Show. Come on in. Stay a while. People are calling up with their favorite Seton memories. Friday will be his last day on the show. I don't remember this, but Paulie brought it up. And some people on social media as well. There are scenes in the movie this is Spinal Tap where the drummer keeps dying, and people have likened that to the chair next to Fritzi in the back row. That McLovin's gone now. Seaton's gone.

[Seaton]

Yeah, see, I've seen that a lot, actually. Is people wondering if this chair is cursed or if it's just Todd driving people out?

[Dan Patrick]

Maybe it's a combo.

[Seaton]

I'm not going to answer that.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, Dylan is going to be sitting in the chair for a while after Friday. Yeah, I said I'm not going to name you permanently there.

[Seaton]

I don't. I've noticed you saying that a few times where he's like, for now.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, for now. I would say there's an interim tag.

[Paulie]

Oh, no.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. I would like for him to wear interim on the back of his jersey.

[Seaton]

You haven't seen enough yet?

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, no, no. I mean, I love Dylan. Dylan's fun part of the gambling podcast and Meet Friday Chef, but, you know, I don't know if he's stable enough to sit in that chair right now. He's out there in the kitchen whipping up something. Yes.

[Todd]

Todd, Dan, that in training, what do you do with the word Danette? We don't label it anything. He's just kind of hovering there.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I think when I introduce everybody, you know, when. When we start, you know, after Seaton leaves, it'll be Fritzy's here and then the interim Danette. Dylan is here. Marvin, Paulie, and the back room guys. I think that's how he'll be. You got to earn this. Okay. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paulie, Dan and the Danettes. Feet Dylan. We're not doing that, are we? How's that work?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I don't know if we're featuring Feet Dylan, but, yeah, Dylan will sit in the chair for the time being, and then we'll see. Then we. You know, they take off the interim tag all the time with managers and coaches. Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

Some people also want to know about the glass partition and that whole thing. Is that staying? Is that going? What does Dylan want to do with it? What concerns does he have about his future?

[Dan Patrick]

Would you like to take down the glass partition, McLovin? Demanded that we put that up because you were coughing all the time and he did not want your germs.

[Todd]

If it was up to me, I guess I'd probably take it down, but I can understand concern. No one wants to get sick or feel like there's germs flying across the room where you can put your health in grave danger.

[Dan Patrick]

Grave danger. Seton, do you. Has your health been in grave danger since you've been sitting back there?

[Seaton]

No, it hasn't been in grave danger. Todd has one of the gnarliest hacking coughs I've ever heard in my entire life. It's disgusting, and it's uncomfortable to sit next to. That's about 10% of why I wanted

[Dan Patrick]

this put back up so you didn't hear it.

[Seaton]

There's a lot going on over there throughout the show that it's hard to not, like, look at. And so I'd rather I put these scarves here so that then I feel like Todd has his spot. I have my spot. Once I'm gone, you guys are free to do whatever you would like to do.

[Dan Patrick]

But it's one thing to have a glass partition up, but the scarves look like you don't want to see Todd accurate.

[Marvin]

Okay.

[Todd]

I was going to ask what's repulsive about me other than the hacking cough, that I'd love the elaboration on that. We want to get this going. Let's get it going.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Seaton]

No, I don't want to get it going. It's not repulsive. You sing to yourself constantly, and it gets very distracting for me. So I just put this up so that then I could focus on the show. You do. That's really all that it is. I don't know how many times a day I've heard, you know, and it's like, all right, man, I'm just trying to work over here. I'm gonna put this up. I didn't realize it would be quite taken as the glass here was as offensive to Todd, but you have two and a half days left of it.

[Todd]

I definitely have my quirks.

[Dan Patrick]

Are you aware of these quirks?

[Todd]

I sure am.

[Dan Patrick]

I've got.

[Todd]

I've got lots and lots of issues. I'm far from perfect.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, but then why would you question then, Mike?

[Todd]

No, I just wanted to know. I wanted to know what the deal was. You know, there's just as. It seems like there's a lot of reasons and there's a lot of disgustingness about what's going on in my corner. So I'm just. I was Asking for elaboration.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Seaton]

There's not. It's just you cough a lot. You get sick.

[Dan Patrick]

You get sick a lot.

[Seaton]

You do. And you have a. You have a gnarly cough and you don't cover your mouth. And so I'd rather not get sick.

[Dan Patrick]

Wow. And so I put. I put this thing up. Yes. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paul scene has the brakes off. A couple more days, he's going to

[Todd]

say what he's going to say.

[Paulie]

It's going to be fun.

[Dan Patrick]

Can't wait till Friday.

[Seaton]

I'm sorry. I really didn't want to bring this up at all. I didn't want to bring up the glass partition. I didn't want to bring up any of those things.

[Dan Patrick]

If you're watching on Peacock and NBC Sports Network, you can see the glass partition.

[Todd]

Anybody else have anything to add?

[Dan Patrick]

No.

[Todd]

I'm not leaving camaraderie and happy, happy action, fun time.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm not leaving happy action, fun time. Yeah. I don't know what that means.

[Paulie]

That's a movie you've seen time.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Seaton]

Happy action, fun times.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Seaton]

I want to live in that land.

[Dan Patrick]

Jenna Jameson was in. That wasn't. I think we say good morning if you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner and NBC Sports Network, it's Masters Week. It's underway. And Brandle Chamblee joined us last hour. If you miss any interviews, you can always go [e-mail] you'll be able to hear everything, including baseball commissioner Rob Manfred. He'll join us a little bit later on. Fernando Mendoza skipping the draft. Boy, I'd love to know what those conversations were like or how long those conversations lasted between Mendoza representatives and the NFL because we're getting really close to the draft, and you don't have the shiny object, the one shiny object there that you want, and that is Fernando Mendoza. All righty. 8773-DP-SHOW email address [e-mail] Twitter handle it DP Show. Seaton Poll question. Did we settle on one for the first hour?

[Seaton]

Yeah, we put one up there.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you.

[Seaton]

If you were probably very likely going to be the number one overall pick in the NFL draft, would you attend the draft or stay home with family and friends?

[Caller]

Mm.

[Seaton]

You want to guess the results on this?

[Dan Patrick]

I would say 95% are going to show up at the draft. If they are the number one overall

[Seaton]

pick, 53% would go to the draft.

[Dan Patrick]

What?

[Seaton]

Yes, 53% would go to the Draft. That means. Yeah, 47 would stay home.

[Dan Patrick]

I think my family would survive If I wasn't there to celebrate with them, I can bring them with me and they can sit in the green. They're not going to have to wait long before my name is called, you

[Seaton]

know, See, I think that the, the whole family has been involved in this process up until that point. It isn't just the one person that plays. It's the whole family.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Seaton]

So I, I appreciate people who are like, nah, it's more important that I'm with my family for this moment than

[Dan Patrick]

going to Roger Goodell and his mom. What is the condition? She has ms, I believe, but, you know, she was able to go. The national title game was in Miami, which is where the family is from. I don't know if that factors in, with her condition, to be able to travel, but maybe it is. And therefore the rest of the family is going to say, we're going to stay here and he's going to stay there and share in the moment. Yes, Paul.

[Paulie]

I really wasn't too surprised when I saw it because Mendoza does not seem traditional in any football sense. He reminds me of a guy from high school who was like a 4.0 guy. President of the math team, like 4H. But he also happens to be the superstar quarterback. He's. I don't know if it's Andrew Luck comparison, but he feels very cerebral and unique. And even the other day he announced some partnership with like a, a workday product. He, he's just a very unique character.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Hey, whatever his reason is, it, they're his reasons. And if that's what he wants to do, that's his prerogative. But I would, I, I thought you would get 95% of people be like, hey, my chance, my moment. Number one pick in the draft. I'm going to be there. You don't have to stay. He's going to join us next week, I think Monday or Tuesday. We hope to connect with him. I think Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will be on the show tomorrow. Is that right, Todd?

[Paulie]

He's also not going to the draft.

[Dan Patrick]

He won't be at the draft.

[Paulie]

Yep.

[Dan Patrick]

I saw this. I can ask Dave Roberts about this. Baseball's longest active on base streak is 42 games. Baseball's longest active scoreless inning streak among starting pitchers is 22.2 innings pitched. Shohei Ohtani owns both of those marks right now. Stat of the Day, brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. Something has to happen. If he stays healthy, he's going to win the MVP again because he's Got such an advantage of he's pitching. It almost seems like his mindset is well, how about I win a Cy young too? I saw where the Pirates, they locked up Connor Griffin, the 19 year old and that's where they go, hey, let's signing up. Sign him up to a nine year deal and get him early. By all accounts he's the real deal. We saw him in spring training, ball sounded different coming off his back. He 19, playing shortstop, Homer's in his first at bat, making plays in the field and you know, they gave him a nine year deal. It makes me wonder about Paul Skeens. Did the Pirates try to do this with Paul Skeens? That where they said hey we're going to give you a nine year deal. Or like if I'm Paul Skeen's agent, I'd say no, we're not doing that. But Connor Griffin, he's 19, 10 year deal, nine year deal, Paul.

[Paulie]

Yeah, I've got it reported nine year, $140 million deal for the Pirates. And the analysts say this could end up being a bargain. If he works out for the Pirates because you're got, you're buying low and you're invest, you're locking them in at the, that's less than 20 million a year. If he becomes a multi time all star, it could be a bargain.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, well you can lock him in then you don't have to worry about he's going to get too expensive free agency. But it feels like Skeens is no, I'm playing here, but am I going to sign a long term deal? Because man, you got the pieces here to be a really good team or the, you know, the potential is there for a really good team and you know, you know that it won't last because what skiing is going to be worth how much per year?

[Paulie]

Yeah, Paulie, Connor Griffin makes way more than Paul Skeens right now. Skiings in 2026, he's going to make $1.1 million. I had to double check that. That's nuts.

[Dan Patrick]

Michael Malone, the North Carolina head coach, he was introduced and he explained why he came to North Carolina. I didn't come here to be second best. I didn't come here to lose in

[Todd]

the first round of the ACC tournament. You know, I came here to win and win at a big level, win

[Dan Patrick]

at a high level and, and if you're a competitor, that's what you want. You don't shy away from that, you don't run from that, you run towards that and that's How I'm wired.

[Todd]

That's in my DNA. And, you know, and our team's gonna,

[Dan Patrick]

you know, take on that character as well. Did his accent get a little more Southern and like a Carolina? You know, it's not like our Brian Kelly. Where. Where's Michael Malone from?

[Paulie]

He was born in Astoria, New York.

[Dan Patrick]

Day. Okay.

[Paulie]

Southern Manhattan.

[Dan Patrick]

Southern Queens. Southern part of Queens.

[Paulie]

South Queens.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Give me just a little more of that Michael Malone there. I didn't come here to be second best. I didn't come here to lose in

[Todd]

the first round of the ACC tournament. You know, I came here to win and went at a big level. Went at a high level.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, all right. I know a lot of people from Queens. They don't sound like that. Now. I did spend time elsewhere, including Denver, but that had a little. A little Southern, a little North Carolina on it a little bit. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paulie later in the press conference said he's fixing to win.

[Dan Patrick]

The accident, I'm gonna have scattered and smothered. There you go. Yeah. His daughter, volleyball player, North Carolina. I'm gonna guess he knows the campus there. But do you know the environment that you're walking into? That's really the key. It's a great job. But your comparison starts eight miles away in Duke. All right, couple of phone calls. Rich in Athens. Hi, Rich. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Hey, everybody. As always, sitting here with my puppy dog, Fritzy, watching the DP Show. A little bit of a bittersweet week because I love the Masters, but obviously sad about the. The seating news, but happy for him moving forward. And it's certainly going to get support from all the. The DP show fans. And, you know, I read an article about Seaton where the headline said, longtime national radio favorite. And I 100% agree with that statement. He's been great. But the main question I have is, what will be Seaton's Meat Friday menu? Because I'm assuming this Friday is going to be all about him.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. In fact, Dylan said, what do you want for Meat Friday? And Seaton has the opportunity. It's. It's his champions dinner, like Rory McElroy, and he gets to pick what he wants for this Meat Friday. Have you decided? You don't have to tell us. Have you decided?

[Seaton]

I did. I've submitted the menu.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, you have?

[Seaton]

I did, yeah. I don't know. A day or two ago.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Yeah. All right.

[Seaton]

We'll be maybe last week, actually.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Seaton]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

And we'll be surprised with that. Jordan in Wisconsin. Hi, Jordan. What's on your mind today.

[Caller]

Hey, DP guys. How you guys doing?

[Dan Patrick]

Great.

[Caller]

Hey, can I do my best KO first dp, I was just calling to say and echoing much of the sentiments that scene. Thanks for everything and I wish you the best on your next chapter. Never begrudge anyone for making a pivot. But one request, if we're gonna do the callback to the doing your Friday music segment, could you please create a Spotify list that be downloaded? Because my favorite bump or kick or whatever you folks call it in the radio biz is Help is on the way by Rise Again. Like, I think we have the same taste in music. Can you create a Spotify list I can download?

[Seaton]

Yeah, definitely. It's a great song, great band, and

[Dan Patrick]

this is a positive here, just so everybody knows. I mean, it's sad, but it's. I have to look at bigger picture here. Does it hurt the show? Yes. Does it help the overall Dan Patrick show brand and everything we're trying to do? Yes. Does it help Seton in what he wants to do? Yes. But this is pause positive. I keep telling myself it's positive. It's like, this is a good thing. It's a good thing. But then in the, you know, the now part of this, it's tough. It's, you know, because it's 20 years that you're staring at somebody where you're interacting with somebody, your highs and lows of what's going on in their life, you know, you know, parents, health, your son and, you know, everything. You know, there's so much that goes into it. It's not just what you hear on this show or see on this show. It's everything that happens five days a week where we're here in the same room or we're traveling. We started out in the attic. You know, I'm asking guys to leave ESPN to go to my attic where we weren't even on tv. So that sacrifice, you know, will never be lost on me. And that's where all of these guys who decided to take a chance and, you know, so hopefully this pays off for all involved, but we'll miss him. This is sort of my Friday speech. I'm working on it.

[Paulie]

Okay, we can roll it back.

[Dan Patrick]

Nobody really prepares you for this part of life. When I had some guests stay with me recently, I realized I was missing a few key essentials. I hate when that happens. Really. No more paper towels. Down to the last pigs in a blanket so soon? I didn't want to interrupt our time together by running to the store or give off the impression that I was Unprepared for my guests. Moments like that are a perfect example of how everyday life can surprise you. Some days go as planned and other days, well, life throws curve balls. It's not always convenient. That's why I went straight to Amazon. Amazon helps make it easier to manage both the routine and the unexpected. From household basics to last minute replacements, you like to have on hand to be a great host. Amazon makes it so you can find everything that you need all in one place with reliable value and great prices.

We're lost and kickoff's coming up. I don't want to miss the lineup. I'm gonna ask that man for directions. Hi there. We're trying to get to the stadium.

[T Mobile Ad]

Well, you're gonna take a left at the old oak tree at this here road.

[Seaton]

Nah, I'm just kidding.

[Dan Patrick]

Coming up in 20 minutes. We'll have our master's draft gambling podcast available danpatrick.com today because we want the guys to get their masters picks in. So it'll be Dylan, it'll be Bad Lair, and of course Shay and Irving. They will show up and we'll do our gambling podcast. Dave Roberts, dodger manager, will join us on the program tomorrow. We talked to Brando Chamblee first hour Talking about Rory McElroy completing the career grand slam and he was asked this question yesterday. Now that you're in possession of all four, I'm curious if you think one of the four majors lends itself in your prime window and maybe beyond. To the most opportunity to win or to be the most productive. Is there one that stands out?

[Marvin]

I think this one, I think it's a. I think when you've had the experiences that I've had around here, good and bad, I think that can stand to you and you come back. You know, the other major venues, we don't go, you know, we don't go back to the same place every year. So I think that is something I. I feel like I'm still young, but I'm very experienced. You know, I've been doing this for a long time. This is my 18th start. I do feel like I've got, you know, another, hopefully 10 good shots of this. Everything here is a little more predictable.

[Dan Patrick]

And that's, you know, the familiarity. That's why it's rare when you get a surprise. And I was wondering about this. More likely to get a Cinderella story in March Madness or Cinderella story at the Masters. And I would say you gotta. You gotta be able to be really good for four days to win at Augusta, so four consecutive days. Whereas Cinderella, you gotta be good one day on a Thursday, then you gotta be really good on that Saturday, Then you get time, you know, almost, you know, five or six days to get ready for your next game. Therefore, it feels like a Cinderella story. In basket, basketball would happen more so than in golf because you gotta string together four really good rounds. And your really good rounds have to be a lot better or better than the other competitors there. Now, it's a smaller field, but that's why you always see, like, Bernard Langer or Freddie Couples on the first day, because they can do it for one day. You know, Tom Watson, you can do it for one day, maybe two. Doing it for four. That's where you have the great, the good and the great. There's a big separation there. Yes, Paul.

[Paulie]

And if you go back to last year, we were discussing it, I looked at my notes from last year. That was one of the more rooted four athletes of all time. Collectively. Everybody likes Rory McIlroy. You want him to win that major, but also he spent the past couple years being the face counter to the live tour. And that played very well with American sports fans.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I was talking to somebody yesterday affiliated with golf, and he said without any, you know, prompting that Rory McElroy saved the PGA Tour with everything that he was doing behind the scenes. He didn't bail. And he could have made, you know, him and Tiger could have made upwards of probably a billion dollars, but they stayed. Now, these tournament fields aren't as large as they used to be. There's more money in there. So the top end golfers are really going to benefit from this. But this, this person I was speaking to said that he thought, in his opinion, Rory saved the PGA Tour. You haven't had any big names who have gone to live in what, three years now? And now you got a couple of them wanting to come back. Patrick Reed, Brooks Koepka.

[Caller]

It.

[Dan Patrick]

It feels like it's over. You know, DeChambeau might get $500 million, and I can't blame him if you want to go play. And yes, it's relative obscurity, but, you know, that's, that's the disappointing part. We don't get to see him very often. You know, Cameron Smith used to be a thing. Yeah, he was one of the best putters on tour. You don't see, like, it's accidental if I, if I see the, the live tour where I tune in and I'll go, oh, okay. And I'll watch John Rom or DeChambeau. I mean, there's still some quality players there. It's just, you know, the American public doesn't care. It's not real golf. That's the problem I have with it. It's not real. It's, hey, let's get together. Remember, they were wearing shorts and playing loud music. And I go, no one cares. Hey, we're, we're not going to play four days. We're only going to play three. Man, we're crazy. Be like, nobody cares. Like the DP World Tour. I watch that. It's real. Live tour, it's like, great. It's not real. But if you can make that kind of money, life changing money. All right, I'm not going to begrudge you. You're the only one that has to, you know, answer to it.

[Paulie]

Yeah, Paul and the live Tour caved about six months ago. They announced, you know, it was 54 holes. They're switching to 72 hole format for this season, and that was their hook, that they're cool and different. And they caved.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but nobody cares. Like, if I'm watching golf, I want to watch four rounds of golf. If you said, hey, you know, PGA Tour is only going to be three days, I'd be like, why? I want to see Scotty Scheffler a fourth day. Or by the way, who finished second last year in the Masters? Forgotten, long forgotten, great player, hall of Famer. Oh, by the way, Justin Rose. Out of the day of the day. This is the start of the Day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Something was going on last night between Golden State and Sacramento, and I hope the commissioner is looking at that game because it looked like Sacramento was tanking right in front of us. It was odd because three minutes to go, the Sacramento Kings intentionally foul Steph Curry. Steph Curry is one of the greatest free throw shooters of all time. It's not like you're fouling Andre Drummond. This is Steph Curry.

[Seaton]

No offense.

[Dan Patrick]

Here is Draymond Green on what Sacramento was doing at the end of the game. Well, I think the play in was

[Amazon Ad]

made for teams to not tank.

[Dan Patrick]

Like, that's, I think that's the part

[Amazon Ad]

that everyone forgets, you know, like the playing came about to make teams like maybe through 12 or 13 keep going. They ain't keep going.

[Dan Patrick]

They kind of slowed down and then they hit the brakes.

[Amazon Ad]

So, you know, I saw a team tonight, foul Seth Curry with three minutes to go in the game for no reason in the penalty.

[Dan Patrick]

It ain't working. Something was up there. I didn't get it. They were fouling Seth Curry as well. But I, I. Sacramento's up one, and then you're going to intentionally foul. And I go, wait, why, what is, what is your philosophy here? What, what is the strategy here? But I, I hope the commissioner looks into that, because Draymond Green is right. If the play in was supposed to curb the number of teams that would be tanking at this point of the year, that, hey, you might make the playoffs, say you're going to be in the play in game. You know, granted, you don't put a banner up, but, you know, you're still competitive. Your fan base knows you're trying this. I was like, man, can't you be a little more clandestine? Why are you so overt in what you're doing here?

[Paulie]

Yeah, Paul, the worst teams in the league, the Wizards, have lost nine of their last ten. The Utah Jazz have lost ten of their last ten. Kings have lost seven of their last ten.

[Dan Patrick]

Pelicans. 1. Last night, they beat Utah 156 to 137. They had 90 points in the paint. I mean, wow. They had 50 points. They scored in the third quarter, 95 points in the second half. That hasn't happened since 1970. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. That. Of the day. Stat of the day. Here comes that. What? Stat of the day. But, man, they're putting up points, man. I mean, 156 to 137. Oklahoma City destroyed the Lakers. That's the third consecutive win by OKC by 30 or more points. Here's something to keep an eye on. Guess who has two mid first round picks in the upcoming NBA draft? You're okay, see Thunder. Yes. Now, I would pair them together, maybe move up and maybe, maybe even add another first round pick. Go up and get somebody who could be, you know, maybe a potential starter on that team. But they got draft picks, they got youth. Guys are signed up. Yes, Marvin.

[Amazon Ad]

And it's a deep draft. Like if the Thunder. We talked about Braylon Mullins. Hey, with the 17th pick, we'll take Braylon Mullins. You're adding him, somebody you can develop. And now you got another starter type player.

[Dan Patrick]

Chris in Syracuse mentioned this last hour. I didn't follow up on it at the time, but Gino Oriemma re apologized to Don Staley. There's actually a phone call between the two and I know that both said, hey, let's move on with this. But, but we spent enough time on it that I'm going to stop for a moment before I move on. All I wanted him to say was mean. Don't wait this long to re. Apologize. All you have to say is, I apologize to Don Staley and her wonderful staff and the players at South Carolina. I made this about me. It should have been a great win and should have been about those women and how well they played. We got out coached, we got outplayed. They deserve the credit. That's all you have to say. But when you have an apology, a statement, and you don't mention Don Staley, then you don't have an apology. And I'm sure there was internal pressure to be like, you gotta, you gotta say Dawn's name. It looks bad. The focus is still on you. We're not going to remember UCLA women winning this tournament. Five years, 10 years from now, we'll be like, man, that's when we'll probably go, oh, man, was that in the championship game? Like, they got great ratings and UCLA proved to be the best team in college basketball. But you gotta say Don Staley's name. You do. You may not like it, but you gotta do it because you were wrong. And yes, we can move on from this. We'll never truly move on from this. And we did reach out to Gino because I wanted to say to Gino, just say Dawn Staley's name. And then he did. And then they had a conversation. So good. Look, they're. They're competitors. They're not going to like each other, they'll respect each other. You don't have to like somebody, but the respect. That's where you mention her name. But I do like that they did talk. I think that's important. And now you move on. But you can't re. Apologize. I mean, you know, now on a Tuesday, Wednesday. And no, should have been in the moment. Apologize. I know you reacted in the moment, but then when you had a chance to clean this up, that's when you should have done it.

[Amazon Ad]

Yes, Marvin, the build up to next year's game, which is in Connecticut, is going to be massive because it's not going to be about the players. It's going to be about the pre game handshake, the post game handshake between dawn and Gino going forward.

[Dan Patrick]

And maybe they have fun with this. Maybe I'm hopeful that there's a little bit of a sense of humor. Everybody's waiting for you. How are you going to interact? And maybe it's a handshake, maybe it's a hug, maybe it's a smile. And then you're going to want to go out and, you know, crush the other team. Zach and Knoxville, welcome back, Zach.

[Caller]

Hey, dp, thanks for taking my call. And that's a perfect segue into part of what I wanted to say. Adam in Illinois said a. A caller earlier. It's Zach in Knoxville. The notorious Zig. Say my name, bro. But I also, also wanted to just, just take a minute and let Seton know that he's meant a lot to the show. And I'm gonna miss that validating laugh whenever you say something funny and Seaton laughs that big laugh. You know, you, you know, you landed it. And just to get it back to sports, you had talked about Jeremiah Love earlier, and do you think it's because of the way that the game is kind of cycling back into the running back era, or do you think he's just that good of a talent that you would draft him that high?

[Dan Patrick]

I think he's, he's the difference maker in this draft. It feels like offensively and defensively, he is the guy who can change again. As long as I have a three down back, I don't have to take him off the field. And we, we see this with These teams, Christian McCaffrey or Jameer Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, you know, having that guy that you can keep out there for three downs, I want you to be able to take advantage of him out in space and you know, okay, maybe you don't want to draft him for, but he's a unique talent. Yes, Marv.

[Amazon Ad]

I'm nervous that Jeremiah Love is going to have a Marshall Falk or Saquon Barkley type of career where he ends up becoming the Offensive Player of the Year MVP type of candidate on another team after his first four years if he goes to the Tennessee Titans.

[Dan Patrick]

Dale in Indiana hi Dale. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

5:10, 1:80 Want to give a couple of recommendations for Steven's exit song and one final comment to him as well. My sources say to stay away from any Green day. Good riddance. Just FYI, you also can never go wrong with some Foo Fighters everlong, but I think I speak for most DP show fans. We're super happy for you Stephen. Your family wish you the best of luck. We'll miss your laugh, your spot on Dylan and Tony Romo impressions, your soccer takes, and your impeccable ability to buy time and stall when Dan asks what the poll question is.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Dale. Yeah, I'd be happy to do that, Dan.

[Seaton]

Let me see here.

[Dan Patrick]

What the Blah blah, blah blah. All right, we'll take a break. When we come back, we will make our Masters picks. Dylan's going to come in and the baseball commissioner, Rob Manfred will join us as well a little bit later on. We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

[Seaton]

Imagine never having to buy gas again. It's true, it's real and it's here right now. EVs are as easy to charge as your phone and they're perfect for everyday life. You can drive daily with confidence everywhere you go. And most Americans drive about 40 miles a day. And most EVs are equipped with 200 to 400 miles of range. EVs, they have fewer parts, fewer repairs, fewer headaches. And with hundreds of new and used EV models available today, there's an EV to fit every lifestyle and every budget. Trust me, the way forward is electric.

[Dan Patrick]

Learn [e-mail] well if you are watching on Peacock or NBC Sports Network, we got emotional in here. Seaton said some mean things about Todd I did earlier in the day and he wanted to apologize I felt badly about that.

[Seaton]

I don't like being that person, you know? And. And sometimes I try to be funny, and then it gets mean, and then I just stick with the mean. And I was mean to Todd there. I was cruel to him, and I felt badly about that. I wanted to apologize to him. This was my second apology to Todd in two weeks, by the way.

[Todd]

I know that was heartfelt. I felt it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, well, you guys were hugging each other for quite some time, and I

[Todd]

felt it on the fingertips.

[Seaton]

Yeah, we're very close.

[Paulie]

We've.

[Seaton]

We've been intimately close.

[Dan Patrick]

The pics are coming in. The draft night isn't just about who gets called. It's about who shows up. So grab your crew, crack a Miller Light, and be there for every moment that matters. Miller Light legendary moments. Start with a light beer from Miller, and we'll give you all the information leading up to the draft. And if you'd like to join us, we have a beautiful spot in Pittsburgh. I gotta wait for the green light for the big German, so I can tell you where we'll be and if you want to join us there. We'll be doing shows Wednesday, Thursday, Friday of the NFL draft. Oh, look who showed up. It's the interim. It's Dylan, who's here. Part of the gambling podcast, and he'll be sitting in Seaton's chair after Friday. Yeah. What is he, a Dan?

[Todd]

Not. What are we going to call him in the interim? Is that what we say now?

[Dan Patrick]

Seaton just apologized to you for me.

[Marvin]

Yes, I'd like that, actually.

[Todd]

I'm sincerely apologetic for that. That was unnecessary and uncalled for.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, so we're going to do our Masters draft here.

[Marvin]

Yep, we are.

[Caller]

Paul is.

[Marvin]

It's a tradition, like many others, Dan. And Paul is the reigning champion. Okay, so essentially what we're gonna do, we each get five golfers, okay? They're broken up into tiers based on the DraftKings odds.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Marvin]

And it's just low score to par. If you have a guy miss the cut, they get plus five added to their score.

[Dan Patrick]

Plus five.

[Marvin]

That's when it gets tricky.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, okay.

[Marvin]

And then, as we all know, the winner gets to pick their champions. Lunch. And if Seaton were to win, I have two scenarios for him.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay?

[Marvin]

He could come, make a guest appearance, pick his menu, do the whole thing. Or if he's on the road or doing something, he can pick maybe things that he thinks everyone will hate since he can't be there.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Or he could join us for at a restaurant. That's true. Around the road together. I could do that.

[Seaton]

Yeah, it does fun.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. It doesn't have to be mean spirited, Dylan.

[Marvin]

I just was giving options.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, but why don't we do that?

[Marvin]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

Because Seaton's picking his. His Friday meal. This Friday? Yeah, it's final meal. The final supper. The last supper.

[Marvin]

The last supper.

[Dan Patrick]

What is the draft order here?

[Marvin]

Well, I was going to say, I think Paul should either start or go last as the reigning champion.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, well, what's the benefit?

[Amazon Ad]

Not.

[Dan Patrick]

Paulie goes last because he won.

[Marvin]

Yeah.

[Paulie]

Like parody in the NFL.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. So start with Fritzi, then Seaton, then you or Marvin. Marvin. Are you going to be in this?

[Marvin]

I'll be the control.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, because you're kind of interim.

[Marvin]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

So it'll be Todd, Seaton, Marv, then me, then Paulie.

[Marvin]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

And Paulie gets two picks. Yeah, Seaton.

[Seaton]

So just to be clear, are we picking who we actually think is going to win, or is this one of those things? If you pick the worst person, you get the most points, then you actually win, and then you do what we did the last game? I got very confused with the last.

[Marvin]

Yeah, the disappointment draft. I. I was ironing out the details for that kind of on the fly.

[Dan Patrick]

I can tell if you pick a

[Seaton]

six seed, that's actually worth 30 points.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, all right, let's get this.

[Marvin]

You want the winner?

[Dan Patrick]

You want winners? You want performance? All right, Todd, you go first, as

[Todd]

I do with college basketball with the one seeds. Scotty Scheffler.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. Satan. Rory. All right, Marvin.

[Amazon Ad]

John Rom.

[Dan Patrick]

John Rom. Okay, where is there John Ron? I'm gonna go. Ludwig Oberg.

[Marvin]

Hot.

[Dan Patrick]

Paula, you get two.

[Paulie]

Nice and simple. Cameron Young. Xander Schoffley.

[Dan Patrick]

Cam. Zander. Well, wait a minute. He could only take one of those golfers.

[Marvin]

Yeah, you only get one from each tier.

[Paulie]

Oh, that's right.

[Dan Patrick]

So you got to start tier two.

[Paulie]

Okay, I will go. Xander Shoffley, please, for my first round pick.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. And then you're my tier two golfer will be man.

[Paulie]

Victor Hovland.

[Dan Patrick]

Victor Von Hovland.

[Paulie]

Great dresser.

[Dan Patrick]

I am going to go with Patrick Reed. Former winner. Lovable. I know. Oh, no. All right, Marvin.

[Amazon Ad]

Jordan.

[Dan Patrick]

Spieth. All right, former winner. Seaton.

[Seaton]

How bummed are you you didn't get to take Tommy Fleetwood? By the way, you love taking Tommy Fleetwood. Damn.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm go. Brooks Koepka. Heck yeah. Brooks Koepka. Todd, you get two.

[Todd]

I'm gonna go. Chris got her up. Based on what Brandell Shamblee said earlier in the show. So that'll be my tier two. And for tier three, I am going to go with Tyrell Hatton.

[Dan Patrick]

Carol.

[Paulie]

Tyrell.

[Todd]

I called him Tyrell.

[Dan Patrick]

Carol Hunt. Satan. Oh, dear.

[Seaton]

I'm gonna go. Jason Day.

[Dan Patrick]

J. Day. The true green, folks. Oh, Marvin.

[Amazon Ad]

Justin Thomas.

[Dan Patrick]

Justin Thomas. I'm gonna go with the dreamy Adam Scott.

[Paulie]

Very hunky.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, Paul, you get a tier 3 and then a tier 4.

[Paulie]

Min Woo.

[Dan Patrick]

Lee. Min Woo. Lead a block. Okay.

[Paulie]

And tier four, Nikolai Hogard.

[Dan Patrick]

Nikolai Hoygard. Yes. Okay, then it's me. Let's see. I'm gonna go. Corey Connors. Marvin

[Amazon Ad]

Cameron Smith.

[Dan Patrick]

Cam Smith. All right, Seaton. JJ, friend of the show, JJ. And the spawns, Todd Maverick McNeely. Oh, Mav. Yeah. All right, that's it.

[Marvin]

There's a fifth tier.

[Seaton]

Never made it to tier five.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, okay. Okay. Rapid fire. Who goes first?

[Seaton]

Who just went last? Todd did. Okay, Todd, you go.

[Todd]

I'm gonna go. Keegan Bradley.

[Dan Patrick]

Keegan. Bradley.
