Summary

Hour 2 of The Dan Patrick Show packs a witty punch, using sports as a springboard for rumination on social change—especially around dress codes in public places and how even classic sports traditions are in flux. The crew’s conversations thread through sports awards, fashion faux pas (from steakhouses to airplanes), listener health testimonials, and the return of NCAA bad boy Will Wade. Amid the laughs and one-liners, there’s genuine nostalgia for how things used to be, and a recognition that the world—and sports—keep evolving, corduroys and all.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio.

[Dan Patrick]

However two on this Thursday Dan and the Danets Dan Patrick Show. I had somebody say to me yesterday, why don't you guys just embrace that your show, you're a mid major. And I said, but we don't play like a mid major. We play like a blue blood here. I will not accept that. And then they said, well, they were joking. And I said, there's a little truth in every bit of joking. Do you feel like we're a mid major? And he walked it back a little bit. But he said, yeah, you're kind of an underdog. You're a mid major. I said, okay, I guess we're kind of like Miami Ohio now or High Point. I thought we were up there with Arizona, Yukon and Michigan and Duke. Yes.

[Paulie Fusco]

We've got to at least be a little Gonzaga. Ish. I mean, we've been in the tournament for the last 20 years straight. How much can we still ride this mid major underdog.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paulie Fusco]

Card.

[Dan Patrick]

You would think that we graduated just like Gonzaga at some point.

[Paulie Fusco]

You really are just losers.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Or we. We didn't win. We didn't win again this year. We're more of a loser because we didn't get nominated to not really have a chance at winning. Yes.

[Marvin]

Marvin, are we kind of like Davidson? We're mid major, but we have a super duper star with us.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, no, no, no. I. I think we might be gunshagging.

[Paulie Fusco]

You comparing Todd to Steph Curry?

[Todd]

He beat me to it. I said, wow, that's such a nice compliment.

[Paulie Fusco]

That is a nice compliment I hadn't

[Todd]

thought of because Dan's here too. Dan's the host. Maybe you're thinking about him.

[Dan Patrick]

And if you're watching on Peacock or NBC sp, Fritzi has put on the Mark Davis hairpiece and it looks good.

[Todd]

Commitment to excellence and foolishness at the same time. That's what we're doing.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Tony Fusco]

Paul, I don't think we're Gonzaga or Davidson. We're like a likable Duke. We're. We're the opposite of that. We've been doing this consistently for a long, long, long time. Awards are judgments. Other shows, they yeah, but Duke wins. Yeah, but we can't control that. We win by having the same crew year in and year out doing this. When lots of other shows get hot, they churn through people, they fade away.

[Dan Patrick]

We're the opposite sweet 16. We've got a slate of games coming up later on today. And tonight it's Texas and Purdue, Iowa, Nebraska, Arkansas, Arizona, Illinois and Houston. We'll talk to Connecticut. Head coach Dan Hurley will join us in an hour from now. And we will have Mac McClung the leading score, all time leading scorer in the G league history, the long G league history. But Mack put up 54 and 59 and probably still won't be making an NBA roster. I just don't know why the Nets wouldn't go out and say, hey, come on in and have some fun. I mean, or maybe the Bulls, they're not any good. But we'll talk to Mac McClung in an hour from now. Alrighty. 877-3-DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show Past two seasons the NFL was played in international game on the Friday after the season opener. 2024 Eagles packers in Brazil. 2025 Chargers Chiefs in Brazil on that Friday. It's not an option this year because of something that took place in 1961. It's called the sports Broadcasting act doesn't allow broadcast of professional football games on any Friday or Saturday from the second Friday in September until the second Saturday in December. The last two seasons. The day after the season opener fell on the first Friday of September. This is the stat of the day. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the program. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock or NBC Sports network and we say good morning to our radio affiliates if you'd like to dial us up, 877-3DP show operator Tyler will take your phone calls. The NFL finally figured out a way to give us a game on Wednesday. Oh, they're gonna do their damnedest. How many days. Tuesday might be the only day. And then Friday during the season, during the high school football season. But they're doing their best, going around the world. Gonna have a game in Australia. Why? Why not? Apparently Seaton poll question. What do we have from hour one and what are you gonna go with? Hour two?

[Paulie Fusco]

Yep, hour one. We put up there the NFL season opener on a Wednesday night. Love it, hate it or really don't care right now. Really don't care is just barely edging out. Hate it. Love it. Only has 8% of that vote.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, you know what?

[Paulie Fusco]

For hour two, why don't we go with one of Todd's poll questions? Todd had a bunch of great suggestions. Todd, why don't you throw one out?

[Dan Patrick]

Great.

[Paulie Fusco]

Yeah, really great.

[Todd]

We had did last night feel like MLB opening day?

[Tony Fusco]

Yes.

[Todd]

It was the first game that counted the standings, right? No, it was just the one game on a streaming service at that

[Dan Patrick]

Todd. I come in today. Todd goes, that was an opening day. And I go, why? He goes, because it was at night. And I go, okay, opening night.

[Tony Fusco]

It's not Broadway.

[Todd]

It's Major league baseball. It's supposed to be an afternoon game on opening day, and there should be more than one of them now.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm okay with a standalone. Do I like the streaming partner? I mean, look, you don't have to watch it. It's almost. It's weird. Sometimes you hate watch something. You're like, all right, I'll watch it. I don't want to be going on Netflix and watching my game and like, begrudgingly watching something here. I don't want to watch a Wednesday night game from Australia. But you will.

[Todd]

I watch Scrubs and then that sitcom about the elementary school. In all honesty, that's what I watched for at least a portion of that baseball game.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you know what the show's name is?

[Todd]

I forgot something. Elementary.

[Dan Patrick]

Abbott Elementary.

[Todd]

I watched that and I watched the new revisiting of Scrubs. They're back in town.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, two shows for you. Two new shows. One is Rooster on HBO Max with Steve Carell, really funny, and it's.

[Caller]

They're.

[Dan Patrick]

They're only like 25 minutes long each episode. And the other one is DTF St. Louis with Jason Bateman and David harbor from Stranger Things.

[Tony Fusco]

What's it called?

[Dan Patrick]

DTF St. Louis. You'll have to ask me off the show what the DTF stands for. David harbor is incredible in this show. I love Jason Bateman. What? Doesn't matter what he's in. He's Jason Bateman playing Jason Bateman, and he's great in this. But David harbor from Stranger Things, he's pretty spectacular in this. Steve Carell, really funny and Rooster, both are on HBO Max. You know, the movie I want to see is. What is that Hail Mary project? Hail Mary with Ryan Gosling that's on Amazon. Got big box office opening week and got great reviews, but it's in theaters or you can rent it on Amazon. But I haven't seen that yet. All right. You know, I saw something else here, and this is so off track, but then it's so on track for this show. Ruth Chris Steakhouse is going to have, I guess, a dress code. If you go in there, you cannot go in there with a hat on. You can't go in there with sweatpants. You. You kind of have to be dressed up. So they have a dress code. The proper attire for the Ruth Chris, by the way, one of the worst names for a restaurant. Ruth Chris dress code. You can't have gym wear, you can't have pool attire. Who. Who goes into Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in their bathing suit? I guess somebody has tank tops, clothing with offensive graphics or language, revealing clothing or exposed undergarments. Other than that, you're good to go. Yes.

[Todd]

Tom, whatever happened to freedom of speech? There's ways of presenting this. First of all, they have to change their name before they start ordering people what they can and can't wear.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Who has a problem that Ruth's Chris Steakhouse has a dress code? Satan.

[Paulie Fusco]

It's a little more nuanced than that. But I don't have a problem with places having a dress code. I do have a little bit of a problem with Ruth's Chris demanding a dress code.

[Dan Patrick]

Now, you don't consider them a high end steakhouse?

[Paulie Fusco]

I don't know that they're the kind of place right now that can demand one of those.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Paulie Fusco]

I don't know that. That, that's my own personal feelings. But it's a, it's bold.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. It's a high end steakhouse chain.

[Paulie Fusco]

Okay. Okay. There's still other higher end steakhouse chains. Yeah, for sure.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. But did Ruth Chris accomplish what they wanted to? People are talking about Ruth's Crisp Steakhouse. That might have been what they were trying to do is, you know what? How about we get some attention, free attention. And they did. So now you have to be a little dressed up, a little more dressed. I don't, I can't imagine somebody going in in their bathing suit. I. I can imagine somebody going in with a hat on. Yeah.

[Paulie Fusco]

So like I said, I definitely. I'm a big believer in not wearing your hat when you eat. So you sit down at the table, you take your hat off. I am a big believer in that for sure.

[Dan Patrick]

I think Chili said you can wear anything you want coming into Chile, jump

[Todd]

on it and try to take away the Ruth's Chris crowd.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Chili's trying to get some publicity.

[Paulie Fusco]

Yeah. But say Like Capitol Grill wasn't like, yeah, whatever. Chili's was exactly my point.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Paul.

[Tony Fusco]

So, Ruth, Chris, they also say that this is for the dining room. They have a bar area where there is no dress code and you could wear what you like. So you're not barred from the restaurant if you don't wear this stuff. I think they're trying to rebrand themselves as a high end steak chain by doing this as well. And it seems to be working.

[Dan Patrick]

Does anybody have a problem when somebody wears sweatpants pajamas when they're on a flight?

[Tony Fusco]

Yeah, Paul, if you're a 14 year old girl, fine. If you're a 25 year old man, put on a pair of jeans or pants or even like nice sweats. Don't bring a blanket and a, you know, pillow.

[Dan Patrick]

But you know, you look back in the 50s and the 40s and people would go to the baseball game and they'd have a suit and tie on. Get on an airplane. It was like a big deal. You'd be dressed up to go on an airplane, go out to dinner. Whenever we'd go out to dinner, which wasn't very often when we were young, we always had to get dressed up. Now it's just like, get on a plane. You're like, ah, whatever. Yes, Mark.

[Marvin]

We had to get dressed up to go into the living room for Thanksgiving.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Marvin]

That's how we grew up.

[Dan Patrick]

And rightfully so, right? Yes.

[Marvin]

So sweatpants. Yes. Because I'm a big sweatpants guy, but my sweatpants are nice and expensive. But just like pajama pants and all that Cookie monster pajama pants, you can forget about it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Paulie.

[Tony Fusco]

Tampa International Airport a month ago put on Twitter and I think it was serious or partial kidding. They wanted to ban crocs at their airport. They had fun with that. They said this decision to get rid of pajamas and crocs at their airport is their new policy.

[Dan Patrick]

As long as you don't take your shoes off if you have crocs on. And then, you know, I'm not. I have to draw the line there. Yes.

[Paulie Fusco]

I think, I think expensive sweatpants is like jumbo shrimp.

[Dan Patrick]

They're still sweating.

[Paulie Fusco]

It kind of makes me feel the same thing. Hey, still sweatpants. It's still. Whether with the size of. It's still a shrimp. I'm definitely a shoes off guy on the plane. 100.

[Dan Patrick]

But not. You got socks on.

[Paulie Fusco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. I get a little skeeved out. Yeah.

[Paulie Fusco]

I don't care.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. That's why we don't sit next to each other. Todd tries to sit next. I do.

[Todd]

I like sitting next.

[Dan Patrick]

No, we're not doing that.

[Todd]

What if you're wearing high end, expensive pajamas? That. That does exist. You can get. Get expensive PJs.

[Dan Patrick]

I. I think it's the look of it, not the cost of it.

[Todd]

It was like, slovenly.

[Dan Patrick]

Slovenly. Yeah. Just a couple of things that. Yes, Paul.

[Tony Fusco]

Do you think you guys check yourselves when you walk into a steakhouse and say, like, am I prepared to walk in here, a nice restaurant, a high end restaurant? Do you guys check yourselves, like, before you leave the hotel?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm aware of. I went to a steakhouse in New York recently and Golden Steer and, you know, they have one in Vegas. So you, you know, it's an. It's an event. When you go in, you. You have to be kind of dressed up or you look really silly. And so I got dressed up. I took my buddy Nick, Nick Wright. I took him to the restaurant, bought him a steak dinner. Then he comes back to stab me in the back, gets a sports Emmy nomination. Yeah.

[Tony Fusco]

Paul, it's funny you mentioned Golden Steer in Vegas. We ran into Frank Calando, the comedian, in the lobby. We were on our way to dinner. We were dressed for dinner. And you go, come with us. He goes, okay. And we were leaving that second. He had on black shorts and a black T shirt.

[Dan Patrick]

That is true.

[Tony Fusco]

And he goes, I don't think I'm prepared for this steakhouse. And he. But he didn't have time to go upstairs.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, well, you know what? I think he kind of was asking me to ask him to go to dinner. I think he was saying it with his eyes, right. Because I felt bad. We're in the Fontainebleau Hotel. We're in the lobby and we're all set to go. And there's Frank. And Frank was going to be on the show the next day. We love Frank. I thought he was saying, hey, don't leave me alone. Can I go without saying it? Yes, Marv.

[Marvin]

It made it easier for you to invite him because Fritz, he wasn't with us, so it made it that much easier for you to have him tag along.

[Dan Patrick]

Why didn't you go, Todd?

[Todd]

I don't remember why I wasn't there.

[Dan Patrick]

No, you stay in your room usually, anyway.

[Todd]

And they all went to dinner without Frank?

[Dan Patrick]

I don't.

[Todd]

Is that what made you guys invite him? Started doing his impersonations?

[Dan Patrick]

He actually did his impersonation of you.

[Todd]

He's been doing a lot of that lately.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. All right, we'll get phone calls coming up. A lot of people want to talk about the baseball game last night. Well, a lot of things that they on your mind apparently. We'll come up with a new poll question for hour two. Busy final hour. Danny Hurley will join us and we'll talk to Mac McClung, the slam dunk champ. Now, the all time leading score, who did he surpass on the all time G League scoring list? Well, that'll keep you through the commercial break. We're back after this.

He passed Ronaldo Major to become the G League's all time leading score. If you include the tip off tournament, regular season and playoffs, he will join us coming up top of next hour. Dan Hurley will stop by as well. If you're watching on Peacock or NBC Sports Network during the commercial breaks on radio, we are showing you our Emmy reel and you can include I think five different segments. So there's one the Bo Jackson interview where we talked to him in San Francisco. He admitted that he had had colon cancer surgery. We also had me reacting to Michael Jordan's take on load management. Matt Friend does impressions in Vegas. He joined us when we were out there for Formula one. When I tell Derrick Henry he's going to get into a Adam Sandler movie followed by Sandler reaching out to Derrick Henry via video and the Miz showing Paulie how to chop. I think those are the segments that we included on our Sports Emmy reel that we did not get nominated for. Adam in Michigan hi Adam, what's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Hey Dan, how You doing Good. Good. Hey, on the Emmy thing, Dan's house for the people that watch on Peacock. You guys play that little sitcom intro at 10:00am and 11:00am yeah, every day. And my son dances his ass off in the next two years. Are you guys gonna do like a little new version of it? Maybe get the Sandman or Wes Anderson to direct a new version of it? And will it be worthy of the greatest intros and TV shows of all time up there with Fresh Prince or the sopr?

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know, Adam, but it's a good idea. Maybe I could get the back room guys if they would like to follow up. And we have a new open for this program, of course. Bill in Grand Rapids. Hi, Bill. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

ADP. First time, long time. 63265. I go back with you all the way to the day with dibs. I just want to reach out and thank you for the Bo Jackson interview over the Super Bowl. That interview quite possibly saved my life this week. I had a little bit of a rash that had developed. Had my primary care doctor check it. He sent me on my way with some topical solution. By Sunday, the rash had spread pretty aggressively down into my legs. I took it upon myself to get myself to urgent care. And by 9:30 that night, I was in the ER with 20 docs surrounding me because my platelet count was down to 4,000. If you're at that level, a small cut or a bump on the head could be the end of things. So thanks so much to you and to Bo for making this all happen.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, thank you, Bill. And I tell, and I'm going to continue to tell you, don't wait until you're 50 to get a colonoscopy or get tested with prostate. Do not wait there. There's no reason why you can't do it in your 30s or your 40s. Sooner the better. And, yeah, I know nobody wants to do it, but it can save your life. And that's what Bo Jackson was saying. We look at Beau as some mythological figure. Like, nothing happens to Beau. Bo is, you know, infallible. And he comes on the show in San Francisco and he said, hey, I had prostate cancer surgery three months ago. I didn't know he was going to tell me that. And then he starts talking about it. And, you know, I wondered when we got done with the interview, I even said to Bo, I said, you're going to save some lives by telling that. And he said, good, I hope. And even if. If it's one Life or it gets you to go in early for early screening. Please do it. Okay. And I love hearing those stories because you did go in and you know, you saved yourself. But don't wait, do it. You shouldn't have to have somebody tell you to do it. But in that case, we had Bo Jackson do it and it was wonderful that he shared that. Paul in Louisiana. Hi, Paul. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Hey, dan. Good morning.

Second time, long time, six five and hard 208. I am, I am driving back from Little Rock with my daughters. Went to their very first concert ever last night, saw Journey. So a good time.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. How was, was Steve Perry singing?

[Caller]

No, they had the, the Japanese guy or Filipino guy that took his place.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh yeah.

[Caller]

So he. Yeah, sounded just like it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, he is pretty. You wouldn't think you could find another voice like Steve Perry from Journey, but they found a guy who sounds just like Steve Perry from Journey. What else do you have, Paul?

[Caller]

So I had been a longtime basketball coach in high school, played in college and just recently been thinking, and especially this morning, there's some information on like the Hornets starting five and how well they've been doing. And one of their, the top score out of that starting five is averaging like 20.8 points a game. So I've been thinking about this lately. We've got kids being recruited off our team at the high school and what high school plays 32 minutes, college plays 40, NBA plays 48. A high school player that scores 20, you know, that's about five points a quarter. You know, that's a pretty dang good average and can get you a lot of looks. So when we're looking at college and we're looking at NBA, what is that points per game? Knowing that they play eight and you know, 16 minutes longer than high school, what is that average per game? That kind of puts those, you know, a college player or an NBA player at a certain level, you go, wow, that's, that's pretty dang good. So.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but I don't in safe travels, Paul, I don't want to know how many you scored. I want to know how you scored. Are you a guy who overpowers, you know, kids in high school? Can you shoot a mid range jumper? Can you shoot a three? Do you make your free throws? What does your shot look like? That's what I would care about because I've seen guys when I played in high school, there were guys who were just big back then, bigger than everybody else and they overpowered people. But then by the time they got to their senior year, we caught up with them. And even in college, you'll see guys who are really good in college, but they lack, you know, do I do anything great? Do I do some things really good? And sometimes you get a late bloomer. Certainly with college, definitely with the NBA, because these are kids are coming in 19, 20 years of age. I don't know what Cooper Flag's gonna be like when he's 29. I don't know if he'll be a whole lot better and better than Con Caniple. Con Caniple is really good right now, but I get the feeling Cooper Flag is going to be even greater when he gets to be 26, 27 years of age. Con Caniple is always going to be a sturdy guy who has an unbelievable ability to make threes surprisingly athletic. But then you're going to go, okay, what does he add to his game? I always want to know because the great ones always add. Magic wasn't a great outside shooter, but he became. It was a set shot, but he became a better outside shooter. Jordan, was he going to be able to shoot deeper? Would he get down on the blocks? A signature move aside from going to the hoop, he added to his game and that's, that's the greatness. That's what that, that comes out. You know, I didn't know if Isaiah was going to be a great shooter. I knew it could get to the hoop, but you got to be able to hit that jumper and he proved that he could hit that jumper. All of these guys add the great ones add. It's really, really rare when, you know, they start subtracting. Yeah, Paulie.

[Tony Fusco]

When I look at a guy like Con Knippel, it's not a direct comp. Remember when Glenn Rice came out of Michigan and he could do it all there and then he got to the league and he's more. He was just shooting outside a lot. But then he went from his second

[Caller]

year in the league.

[Tony Fusco]

Glenn Rice was 17 a game. Then he got up to 27 a game in his prime. It was really like an all purpose score. It takes time to develop a little bit.

[Dan Patrick]

He was, he had a run in March Madness. Glenn Rice, then Rice could shoot. But you know, you, the league is littered with guys who got better. It's also littered with guys who hit the wall. I thought Purvis Ellison was his best as a freshman at Louisville. I didn't think that he got better, even though he did add a jump shot. Who was the guy at North Carolina, Sam Perkins. Sam Perkins became a really good shooter. It. It happens. Look at Brooke. Brooke Lopez. Brooke Lopez didn't shoot threes. We had him on the show. I said, hey, you're gonna be in the all star game. Can you shoot a three for us? And he did. Then all of a sudden he became a three point shooter. It extended his career. Jason Kidd couldn't shoot. He learned how to shoot threes. Yes. Marvin.

[Marvin]

And then you see guys that we thought were going to be studs in the NBA and it's kind of, you know, we're really stagnant. Jaleel Okafor and Marvin Bagley. I thought those guys were going to be game changers. And they peaked at 19 for like a term.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Lucas in Texas. Hi, Luke. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

Hey, Dan.

Good morning.

[Dan Patrick]

Morning.

[Caller]

It's good to know maybe that the Dan Patrick not only helps people recover in hospitals, but sometimes can put them in hospitals.

I guess.

So you guys are hot tool players. No. Opening day of baseball season. It's one of the best days ever. You know that I'm a passionate baseball fan. You know, Fritzi ghost throws. That said, y' all were talking baseball stadiums just a little bit earlier and I want to throw out my top five stadiums to go see. And a plea for people to go visit an in game experience. This year it's just noticeably better with the speed of the game. It's getting a lot better. Sorry, I just got off the treadmill. But in with no further ado. The top five. I'm going to go with Camden Yards in Baltimore. I'm going to go with Pittsburgh. I'm going to go with St. Louis. I'm going to go with Dodger Stadium. And then kind of a combined Wrigley and Fenway for the history of it. So hope everyone has a great year. Hope maestros go 162 and oh, and let's have a great one.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. Thank you. Lucas Fritz. He has his Houston Astro gear on getting ready for another big season from your Astros. Peter in New York. Hi, Pete. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Second. Second time. Long time. Six, five and a hard 190. I wanted to talk about the real star of the Netflix broadcast last night. Jazz Chisholm's interview was awesome. On how hard it is to bat while the sun is setting. He was asked how are the shadows for a five o' clock game? He said, I couldn't see. That's why I probably got hit. Also he was asked about why Atlanta was one of his favorite stadiums. And he simply replied, I got a

[Dan Patrick]

lot of hits there.

[Caller]

Love the show, boys. Thanks for all the content. And then one call back to Todd. Sausage off. What do you call when Todd uncomfortably leers at a beautiful woman? That would be a gawk off.

Dp,

[Dan Patrick]

I've seen the golk off with you. Guilty Pretty woman Wit in Michigan. Hi, Wit. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

Morning, Dan. 64204 this morning. Got my all time college starting five for you here. Magic Mike Durant, the big fundamental. And Lucinder. I gotta ask, I didn't get to see bird, but KD's more unguardable, isn't he? And one more question for you. You got one round of golf left. Who from PGA Tour history are you going to tee it up with? And where are you guys going to play

[Dan Patrick]

if I'm playing golf and I got one more round to play? Well, Jack can't play anymore, so it'd be either Tiger or Jack. And I don't know if either one can play. I'd probably do. I mean, Augusta is what you would expect. I might put pebble in there. Or Cyprus. Cyprus is really impossible. I mean, really, really, really tough to get on Cyprus. And you know, the former Vice president Dan Quayle extended an invitation to me when I played golf with him in Tahoe. And he said, hey, if you're ever out, you know, my neck of the woods and you want to play Cypress, you let me know. Well, lo and behold, I'm out there for my 60th birthday. And my friend goes, hey, I thought you. I thought, you know, Dan Quayle, why don't we call him and let's go to Cyprus? Because we were at pebble beach, like, okay. And I hear back from Dan Quayle, he said, you have to show up. You have to be there, right at 7:00 o'clock a.m. you can't go in the clubhouse, you can't go into the. You can't do anything. You just show up. You don't get to hit any balls. You can show up at 7 o' clock and you can go out. So it was a foursome. We show up at 6:58. We're just standing. We don't even know what where. It's dark, you can't see. All of a sudden, two caddies come over and I'm with my son and then two other guys. And I didn't even know where I was hitting. They just said, just hit it straight. And these guys. One guy had been there 32 years as a caddy the other one, they called him a newbie, had been there 23 years, and the fog burned off, it got lighter, and it was a spectacular day, and, you know, just the scenery and these guys knew everything about the course, and people who lived here used to live here. It was one. And I got to play with my son my 60th birthday, and it. It just was magical that you get to play Pebble. It was pretty spectacular. J.D. in Tulsa. Hi, J.D. how are you?

[Caller]

I'm good, Dan. How are you guys doing?

[Dan Patrick]

Great.

[Caller]

I was. I just had a couple of things we were talking about earlier. First of all, I almost always agree with Satan. I think we are, you know, grew up, same time, both kind of skated. Music were very similar. But to take your shoes off on an airport or on an airplane is the equivalent of Fritz, you know, being a pass hole and not getting over in the fast lane.

[Dan Patrick]

It's just kind of rude. All right. What, Paul?

[Tony Fusco]

I personally don't take my shoes off, but I sometimes unlace because it's a little tight. On a plane, if you have a decent pair of shoes and a nice pair of socks and you calmly slip your shoes off and keep your feet in your lane, it's okay. It's not for me. But it's not a violation. If you start putting your shoes up places, putting them in other people's business, then it's a problem. Seaton hasn't crossed that line.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Or have you? Seaton?

[Paulie Fusco]

No, no, definitely not. They stay. They usually stay on top of my sneakers and in my designated area. It really has no impact whatsoever on anyone around me. So I'm not sure exactly what the comparison is, other than it's like a faux pas, I guess, but.

[Dan Patrick]

John Rothstein reporting. LSU will fire Matt McMahon today, and they're going to bring back Will Wade.

[Caller]

Wow.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, my gosh. He was at NC State, I think, for a year. He had some issues at lsu.

[Tony Fusco]

You think he was an issue?

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Oh, boy.

[Marvin]

Brian Kelly and Will Wade.

[Dan Patrick]

I like. It's all about winning. That's all. It's all right. All right. He had a, you know, a couple of missteps here. Let's bring him back. Yes. Paulie.

[Tony Fusco]

Will Wade said less than two weeks ago at a podium with NC State, no interest. No chance.

[Dan Patrick]

Of course not.

[Tony Fusco]

Open.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Tony Fusco]

LLSU is spending 91 on Lane Kiffin, 54 on the Brian Kelly buyout. Their football roster is 40 million. Their buyout for their fired coach, Matt McMahon, is 8 million. And then they have to pay 3 million to buy out Will Wade and obtain him and then pay his salary.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh yeah, that's in the past six months. Anybody else you could get? Really?

[Marvin]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, we'll take a break. We heard from the Pirates about why they won't have a game during the NFL draft week. Also, NBA expansion. It's going to happen. Are there enough good basketball players? We'll talk about that as well. Back after this.

Learn [e-mail] we reached out to the Pirates. Pirates have their game today against the Mets on NBC. And Peacock Paulie reached out to the Pirates. We thought maybe they would have a home game. How many home games do they have in the month of April?

[Tony Fusco]

1818.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, they don't have any that week and we wanted to know was this on purpose? And it is pre planned when they were working with baseball and schedule their schedules in partnership with the Steelers. So the draft is on the North Shore. They share a parking lot and there are neighbors on the North Shore and they didn't want to have an event going on at the same time. Is that.

[Tony Fusco]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Cliff Notes version.

[Tony Fusco]

A lot of logistics with production trucks, with people, with fan events and to add a baseball game to that, you wouldn't be able to enjoy the baseball game and park like you normally would and vice versa. If they have a baseball game and you have an extra 30,000 people, it's a logistical nightmare. They said.

Let's see David in Phoenix. Hi David. What's on your mind today hey, Dan.

[Caller]

Few quick things. First of all, Todd looks like he was kicked out of a 1990s boy band and has just given up on life. Lou Holtz would have been a great spokesperson for Ruth. Chris and Dan, you introduced corduroy this year. Rumors are saying that that choice kept your show from being interviewed.

[Dan Patrick]

[Paulie Fusco]

There were few worse things in the world as a kid or teenager than getting up in the middle of class to go out to the bathroom in the hallway of school while wearing corduroys. And the whole hallway heard. That was the worst.

[Dan Patrick]

I hated that. Not with these cords. These are very soft cords and wide brim. Wide or what? Wide. Very wide.

[Paulie Fusco]

I don't know what those are called

[Dan Patrick]

each cord, but I. They're awesome. Yeah. Yeah. I've gone on a cord spree.

Isn't this what you wore early college, late high school corduroys?

[Dan Patrick]

A different kind of cord. You know, the kind Setons talk about where as you walk, your legs rub together. Yeah. Yes.

Hey, Dan. Good morning. I'm just waiting for my favorite sports Semi nominated Pat McAfee show to start, so I thought I'd kill time and call into the lower tier program.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you,

[Caller]

Wally. So you don't have a problem with Seaton taking off his shoes on a plane? Because it doesn't bother anybody else. Doesn't bother anybody else when I wear sweatpants if I'm on a six hour flight, I'm not sitting in jeans. Polly, this thing's barely. They're small enough. I don't need to be more uncomfortable.

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, I'm with you. I'm with you.

[Tony Fusco]

I wouldn't bar you from wearing sweatpants either. I just don't think, depending on the look of the sweatpant, it's a Great.

[Dan Patrick]

Look, I don't have a problem if you're comfortable on an airplane. I'm. There's so many other things to worry about. Now I don't want you to have your shoes and socks off.

[Paulie Fusco]

Especially if I'm waiting in line for four hours just to get through the damn security. I'm not doing it in a suit. Sorry. Yeah, not wearing my pork pie hat or whatever they're called.

[Dan Patrick]

But I'm. I'm gonna be wearing these corduroys when we go to Pittsburgh. I just got a pair of light blue and a pair of gold corduroys yesterday.

[Tony Fusco]

Of course.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paulie Fusco]

Wear a suit though. On the plane. No. Yesteryear.

[Dan Patrick]

If. If I. If I was still, you know, a broadcaster, a TV personality, then maybe I'd wear suit and tie just in case.

[Paulie Fusco]

You're not.

[Dan Patrick]

Not anymore. No. No. Just a radio guy. Yes.

[Tony Fusco]

Paul, what are your guys thoughts on broadcasters wearing suits and white sneakers on tv? Very commonplace these days. Full suit and tie.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Well, they do have comfortable dress shoes, so the dress shoes are more sporty, casual. But I. I like wearing, you know, good looking shoes. Dress shoes. Now you got guys who wear tennis shoes. I mean, it's not the end of the world, you know. Sports center is different. You know how many guys wear ties? I don't even know your analysts.

[Paulie Fusco]

Do they even.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know. I don't think so. I haven't watched SportsCenter in a little while.

[Paulie Fusco]

Yeah, it's like the. You have like 75 ties slung over the thing. That's like having like reel to reel right now.

I know.

First Sports center anchors vhs. Yeah, like vhs. Like what is this? You have to wear this on air.
