Austin Rivers: NBA Playoffs, Player Impact, and Tension with Draymond

Timestamps: 04:28–18:19

On Wembanyama, SGA, and Game 7

• Wemby’s Impact
  • Austin Rivers attributes Spurs’ wins to Wembanyama’s assertiveness:
    • “It was the non-hesitation in his game that I liked. How sure he was. He came out, he’s letting it fly.” (04:58)
  • Compares Wemby’s defensive presence to Rudy Gobert, but dubs Wemby “the alien” as most fitting.
    • “Not to this level. What Wemby does is just... the alien is the best nickname.” (05:37)
• Refereeing and SGA’s Free Throws
  • Dan and Austin discuss SGA’s (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) dip to only 3 free throws, whether it’s a fluke or “market correction.”
  • “When he plays at that level and gets that many free throws, they win just about damn near every time.” (Austin, 08:20)
• Physicality & Adjustments for Game 7
  • “The aggression will definitely be up in a game seven. You go for it... He has to continue to play in crowded space.” (Austin, 09:20)

Player Memories: Celtics, KG, and Intensity

• Dan asks about playing with Celtics as a teen, and who was most intense.
  • “No, no, no. That’s like peak intense. I don’t think there’s anybody I’ve ever played against or seen in an NBA game be more intense than Kevin Garnett.” (Austin, 10:07)

Analytics in Basketball

• Austin balances the value of analytics and basketball “feel.”
  • “There’s a difference between believing in them and living by them. There are things that analytics just don’t show, so you can’t live and die by them.” (10:48)

Copycat Leagues & Team Philosophy

• Dan: Spurs and Thunder aren't "three-point shooting" teams; do we see a shift in philosophy if one wins the title?
• Austin: Teams are returning to “two-way basketball,” valuing complete players over specialists.
  • “The Thunder genuinely and San Antonio have two way players… they’re not three and D guys, they’re just guys that can ball.” (12:00)
  • Expects a return to “the purity of basketball,” with more ball movement.

Clutch Players: SGA vs. Brunson

• Dan: “You need a two, game on the line. Brunson or SGA?”
• Austin: “It’s so tough. Brunson’s so damn good down the stretch. … But I gotta go with the MVP, man… He’s gonna get a clean look or he’s getting to the line.” (14:27)

Revisiting Draymond Green Beef

• Dan: “Are you and Draymond okay now?”

• Austin: “No, I don’t know. … I don’t wish any negativity upon him. I wish him all the best in his life. I stand by everything I said.” (15:23)

• On Draymond going personal in debates:

  • “When we talked basketball, I talked black and white, he goes personal. That’s what he does.” (Austin, 16:03)
  • On Draymond’s role: “Dennis Rodman’s a Hall of Famer for what he did in his role. He was a superstar in his role. There’s a difference.” (16:56)

• Dan praises Austin’s broadcasting work: “You were analytical. … You’re doing a great job.” (17:53)

Nate Bargatze: Stand-up vs. Acting, Making a Movie, and Comic Advice

Timestamps: 22:30–36:36

• Nate (joking): “I’m following your footsteps… I wanted to know, how did you feel on opening weekends?” (22:46)

• On the difference between stand-up and acting:

  • Nate explains acting’s challenge: “A movie is like, it’s this day, it’s a scene. They jump around… we shot the end of the movie first.” (23:58)

  • Nate tries to demonstrate his fake laugh: “You already heard it earlier.” (27:51)
  • Dan and Nate banter about “fake laughs” and comics’ deadpan response:
    • “That’s funny” – “If you’re talking to somebody else… They don’t think it’s funny, they’re trying to get to the door.” (Dan & Nate, 29:25)

• On Repeating Material:

  • Stand-up vs. musicians: “If I had it as easy as Billy Joel, it’d be nice.” (30:12)
  • Once he records a new special, he “empties his brain” and can’t recall old bits.

• Advice from Peers:

  • Nate received wisdom from comic friends: “Sandler… Wahlberg… Kumail Nanjiani… Colin Jost would text lines for me to say in the movie. They were all extremely helpful.” (31:38)

• On the Awkwardness of Love Scenes:

  • “Not like, you know… not White Lotus, though. I don’t see it going that far.” (33:28)

[Dylan (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah, Dan. Well, I just threw up one and then we've got one more that I think we can kind of chop up. But I put up Todd's. Which would you like most? Like to make people do? Laugh, cheer, sing and dance or make people smarter? There's only four possible slots. 74% say make people laugh.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Okay.

[Dylan (Producer/Co-host)]

And then we were talking about the Bulls. So I was kind of thinking, is there any team in history in any sport that rivals the Bulls?

[Dan Patrick]

Fame.

[Dylan (Producer/Co-host)]

I don't know what the word you'd use. Fame.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

I guess fandom.

[Dylan (Producer/Co-host)]

Fandom.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Yeah, because you had fans in other arenas that when they wanted to see the Bulls be great. And I don't remember any other team except for the Harlem Globetrotters where everywhere they went they were being rooted for the greatest two words in sports. Game seven. WEMBY and the Spurs. SGA and the Thunder. One game to go to the NBA finals. Win or go home. That'll be tomorrow at 7:30 Eastern on NBC. And Peacock. Oh, look who is back. My goal is not to get him in trouble this time around. He's Austin Rivers, NBC sports analyst. Wait a minute.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh man, oh man. The.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

The.

[Austin Rivers]

The storm you brew up last time I was here.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

My goodness, what was that about? What was that?

[Austin Rivers]

I don't remember. I just remember I went from peace

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

to war very quickly.

[Austin Rivers]

All is cooled. All is cooled off.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Okay. Is it just a coincidence that when the spurs play well or Wemby plays well, the spurs win? When SGA plays well, the Thunder win?

[Austin Rivers]

No. The two best players of the team, they are the head of the snake. I thought Wimy just did a fantastic job last night just being aggressive. I know some of his first few shots were like deep threes. But it was the non hesitation in his game that I liked. How sure he was. He came out, he's letting it fly. They were great. They were physical. If the spurs play like that it could be an interesting game set and

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

there's that I don't know who you played against where there's, they're omnipresent, like, you know, they're there and they make you think consciously or subconsciously they may get a piece of this shot. Was there somebody that you.

[Austin Rivers]

I think, I think you have to give Gobert credit for that. You know, I mean, I think that's actually one of the things he did do well. Many things he did well defensively. But when he was at like his prime, Rudy was a guy that whether he was blocking the shot or not, when you drove to the basket, you had to at least see where he was at. And he altered shots that way. He has, he had, you know, an impact on the defensive side. So not to this level. We've never seen it. Obviously what Wemby does is just like, I mean, the alien is the best nickname, I think fitting for this dude. But yeah, Rudy had a little bit of that for sure.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Was there a market correction last night with SGA that he only shoots three free throws?

[Austin Rivers]

No, because I've seen, you know, I, I, I understand why people feel this way and I get it that when he falls after every jump shot, it's, it can be, you know, hard to watch and other things. But I've called games this year where I've seen this guy make like 15 to 20 field goals in a game. He is unbelievable as a basketball player. So I, I thought they did a defending and just coming out of the game with physicality and they took the win out of okc. OKC hung around for most of the game until that third quarter and they just, you know, they blew it wide open. And I think you heard it after the game with Shay's interview. He's like, I'm ready to go. I think these guys were already, I, I don't want to say they're planning for game seven, but I think they went into that game last night, they put up a fight and as soon as it turned, they're like, let's go get it at home. This has been a tick for tack series. These two teams mirror each other. They do a lot of the same things actually in every regard, they're the same team. So this is, I mean, this have been the best series all playoffs. And you know, I, I do feel if OKC wins, they have a stronger chance of winning the championship. Whereas I feel like if San Antonio wins, the Knicks could be a thorn in their side in, in certain regards. And yeah, it's interesting how this will play out.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Yeah. And I keep saying, I hope the officials let certain moments play on and. And not call. There's certain moments where you just say, okay, you know, let's go. And I. I see this more in the WNBA than I do the NBA. It feels like they do stop, you know, they're going to give the benefit of the doubt. And if I'm sga, I. I go searching for fouls. Like, I. I don't stop. I don't want to apologize for winning.

[Amazon Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

So I. I think we'll probably see him more aggressive in game seven. You're at home. I would be surprised if he doesn't shoot more than 10 free throws on Saturday.

[Austin Rivers]

I. Yeah, the aggression will definitely be up in a game seven. You go for it. You know, they did a great job of surrounding him. You got to corral sga. You can't let him operate in space. He has to continue to make the play, and they're okay with that. You have to be willing with Dort and Caruso threes. I know Caruso's playing out of his mind right now. We got to live with that, though, you know, I mean, like, Caruso and Dort hit five threes each. Four threes, you know, hey, listen, shake their hand. And we gave it our best, but, like, giving him, like you said, room to operate and him getting 14, 15 free throws, you're not going to win that way. There's a. There's a proof history of when he plays that well and plays at that level and gets that many free throws, they win just about damn near every time so that he has to continue to play in crowded space. San Antonio did a fant fantastic job last night of doing that and just being physical with them throwing different bodies at him. They had Carter Bryant on them. They had a sale on him at one point. Obviously, the main guy is Castle. You just continue just to just throw fresh bodies at him, be physical. Hopefully he could wear down a little bit. We'll see, though. You know how it is. Game seven. Anything can happen. Anything can happen.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Talking Austin Rivers NBC SPORTS ANALYST when your dad was coaching the Celtics, did you ever play pickup games with those guys?

[Austin Rivers]

Sometimes it was more so like one on ones. Like, I. I would play ones with guys before. This is when I got a little bit older, because at that time I was like, probably like ninth grade, you know, eighth, ninth grade. When he was like, at, you know, towards the prime years of Boston, so I could play a little bit. At that point, it was only A few years away from like, you know, really being able to play. So those were good memories. I got some ones in with some of those guys for sure.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Anybody as intense as Kevin Garnett in your life?

[Austin Rivers]

No, no, no. That's like peak intense. I don't think there's anybody I've ever played against or seen in an NBA game be more intense than Kevin Garnett. So that he used to always scare me, you know, just when I was young and then obviously when I became more of a fan of basketball, like I, I was obsessed with his old, like just his aura, his, his, his tenacious, you know, energy and what he brought to that Celtics team, that 08 Celtics team. Again, you could, you know, Paul Pierce was the guy, but KG was the spirit of that team. And yeah, playing against him one on one was crazy. I know that story.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Do you, do you believe in analytics?

[Austin Rivers]

I do, I do, I do. I don't, I don't. There's a difference between believing in them and living by them. You know, I, I, I, I believe in analytics. I, I'm not gonna full, full fledged pledge to the point to where that only matters. There are things that numbers don't show. There is an eye test, there's a feel. You could watch a player and see if he has feel for the game. There are things that analytics just don't show, so you can't live and die by them. But they have to be a part of your, of your process. Especially just with the way the game has changed and how shooting has been implicated in just team success.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

So.

[Cal Penn]

Yeah, for sure.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Yeah. But it feels like these two teams that are playing in the Western Conference finals aren't three point shooting teams.

[Austin Rivers]

Correct, Correct.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

And I wonder, we, we, most leagues are copycat leagues. When you see a team win a championship, you're like, oh, maybe we can be the greatest show on Turf like the St. Louis Rams were. We'll change our offense here. I don't know if this changes in approach, if you know, either one of these teams win the title. I mean it helps having SGA and Wemby, but still their philosophy is not married to the three point shot.

[Austin Rivers]

It's not, it's contradicted everything the game has continued to press. Right. I would say it's hard to copycat. You kind of nailed it on the head, Dan. It's hard to copycat a team that has an SGA who's, you know, a generational scorer. And then obviously what Wemby is, you definitely can't replicate that. Right. Both these teams have hung their hat on being deep and having guys that could play two way basketball. All these teams have guys that are, that can play both sides of the ball. Darren Fox is not a bad defender. He can play on both sides of the ball. Dylan Harper can play on both sides of the ball. We know what Castle can do on both sides of the ball. We know Wimby can do. Carter Bryant comes in and is mainly a defender. All these guys, Vassell, all these dudes can play both sides of the basketball. When you go to the Thunder, it's the same thing. They have eight or nine guys who are two way players. We, we got so caught up in a rush of guys who could just shoot that like teams just went and found guys that can just shoot. You know what I mean? And the three and D term is thrown around loosely. There's a lot of guys who are attached 3 and D and aren't even great defenders. The Thunder genuinely and San Antonio have two way players and they're not three and D guys, they're just guys that can ball. So I think to your point, yeah, you might see teams not be so like, you know, harping on whether a guy can shoot 40 from three if he's got talent, if he can play, if he can compete. Does he know how to play, does he know how to move without the ball? That's another thing. All, all these teams are unselfish. You see how the ball pops around the perimeter. Both teams obviously shaves the score. So he's going to shoot a lot of shots, but that ball flies around when it's not in his hands. And it's the same thing with San Antonio, you know. So I think that is what we're going to see. Being more of a copycat. People talked about the purity of basketball being lost. I do think we're going back to an era of the ball moving around more. Instead of like the Lucas, the, you know, the, the Trey Youngs, all these guys are remarkable players. Right. But that style of play where you're dribbling like the arrow at the ball, you just don't. With the exception of Shea, the ball really pops and you're seeing that with a lot of these teams. Indiana was kind of a secret to that last year when they popped up. So multiple guys that could put the ball on the floor, multiple guys that could defend.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

If I said you had to get a two and I'm going to you pick of the guys still left. If I give you Brunson and sga you need a two game on the line. You need a two.

[Austin Rivers]

Man, that's so tough, man. Brunson so damn good down the stretch, man, it's like, it's impossible to like not pick him just because what we've seen. And yet I still, I have to go with the guy who's, I gotta go with the MVP man for a multitude of reasons. It's close. First off, there's no wrong answer because Brunson is probably my favorite player in the NBA. Just his footwork. But Shay's taller, can always get a shot off no matter what. Not that you see Brunson get a shot blocked at any time, but Shay can at least get a shot off whenever. And I know with the foul baiting stuff, at the very worst, I'm getting maybe two free throws with the guy, you know what I'm saying? Like he's gonna get a clean look or he's getting to the line. It's so that's, that's where I would have to probably just go, Shay, I think they're 1 and 2 in the NBA in terms of clutch.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Are you and Draymond okay now?

[Austin Rivers]

I, I, I, I don't, no, I don't know. You know what, man? Me and him have always had like a little, you know, whatever when we played, we talk a lot versus each other for whatever reason, we extra than like somebody else. And that, no surprise, carried over to, to the, the events following your show. Dan, I, I don't wish any negativity upon him. I wish him all the best in his life. I stand by everything I said. I, I don't take anything back.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

But you were being an analyst, he was being personal. That's correct.

[Austin Rivers]

That's how he responds. You know, like when we talk basketball, I'll talk about black and white, he'll go personal. It's like when Chuck said, you know, how are you guys going to, you know, you guys are getting older. How are you guys going to defeat Father Time? You know, what's the plan? Well, the plan is not to look like you in a Houston jerk. It wasn't. He never responded to the question. Yeah, he went personal with Chuck. You know, that's what he does. He goes personal. So when I woke up the next day or two days later and had a full on three minute video about myself just dissecting my career, I was just like, you know what? And I, I, I responded with my video and that did what it did. But you know, I still kept it, I still kept it light. I could have went. I could have went. You know what I mean? Like, but that's that. I don't like to be messy. That's not who I am. I have respect for Draymond, despite whatever we feel about each other. But, yeah, I stand by what I said. Ain't nothing changed.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Well, you can be all defense, but he's all defensive.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Austin Rivers]

I mean, my main point was like, I've never heard Dennis Robin be like, you know, Phil, I wish I was more of a focal point in the office. You know, he was. Dennis Robin's a Hall of Famer for what he did in his role. He was a superstar in his role. Don't get that confused with being the superstar. There's a difference, right? That's common sense. That's all I was alluding to when he said the Steve Kerr comments. He obviously got in his feels and went personal instead of responding to what I said. I. We all know what I said was the truth, because that's the reality of the situation, and he has nothing to be ashamed of. That's why he's in the hall of Fame, man. That's why he's made over $200 million. You know, he should be smiling and be happy that he's had such a great career and that he's done great things for the game of basketball instead of, like, trying to fight who he is. That's, you know, it's all good, man. So we all have those. Those identity issues. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? You know what I mean, Dan? It's all good, bro. I got down below. And respect. He's reached heights at every basketball player, including myself, in terms of being a Hall of Famer. Dreams of being. So respect to him, and, yeah, that's that.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Okay. I didn't get you in trouble. Nothing's blowing up this time around. It's all good. And you did your job. You. You were analytical. That's the hard part. For players with former players, like, what are you doing? Like, how you know. You know what it's like to, you know, all of those things. But, yeah, you're doing a great job. You're doing a great job. He's Austin Rivers, NBC sports analyst. Great to talk to you again. Thank you, bud.

[Austin Rivers]

Always. Anytime, anytime.

This is Rob Parker and I'm here with an important public service announcement. Whatever you do, do not listen to the Paulie and Tony Fusco Show. Fox Sports Radio asked me to do a promo, but I'm here to do a no Mo, as in don't listen to this show. No Mo, the host of two fools from Philly who have the dumbest takes ever in all of sports talk. And you know, if I'm saying that, they must really be bad. I have no idea why Fox Sports Radio picked this up, but I know where to put it down in the trash can. So please don't listen to the Paulie and Tony Fusco show. No way, no how.

[Cal Penn]

Hey everyone, it's Cal Penn. I'm the host of Irsay The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook project Hail Mary Massive Sci Fi adventure about survival and science and what happens when you wake up alone, very far from Earth.

[Ray Porter]

I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections. And it's like, okay, yo, yo, yo, is this indulgent? And I really thought about it.

[Dan Patrick]

I was like, no.

[Ray Porter]

At this point, it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it. But there's places in this book that that deeply, emotionally affected me and I left it on the mic. That's great because it served the story. People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end. It's like, yeah, dude, me too.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

who's a big time actor now? Nate Borghetzzi, old friend Breadwinner opens today. Wow.

[Dan Patrick]

I didn't.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

I never thought I'd introduce you as movie star but well, congratulations.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you brother. Look at a decent 2055 8. Going shorter. Now I'm 5 11. Don't put that. I know dude, it's crazy. Look, I'm following your footsteps. I mean I wanted to know how did would you feel on opening weekends? Well, be a wreck.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Sandler would make me nervous because he would always say Danny, you hearing anything? I go, you're in Hollywood, Sandler. But I remember when the totals for the first weekend of longest yard came out and it was like 80 million. And Sandler was relieved in because I don't know if you're going to have joy or relief, let's say on Sunday or Monday when you get that first weekend box office numbers.

[Dan Patrick]

I mean both. Well, it depends. Yeah, I guess it really depends. I don't know. Those are the two things. Te they're going to be joy relief or jump off a building. So it's one of the ones. I guess that's the relief part.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Main difference between stand up and acting.

[Dan Patrick]

The preparation. I mean, the pressure to stand up. But it's you. You do it over time because you're doing so many shows, so you're saying the same stuff and you're kind of putting in words and here and there and changing little things and you get to do it over. Especially when you say the special. So there's a. Where a movie is like, it's this day. It's a scene. They jump around in a movie. I mean, they told me that, you know, when I first came. Like, it's like, you know, you don't shoot a movie in order, which I kind of knew. But then it's great. Like our, you know, the first day you're doing some scene that's at the end of the movie and you're. It was wild. I thought, why would you not just shoot it in order? But I guess they know what they're doing.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

But are you. So you. You don't have that immediate reaction when you do your stand up, but are you looking for reaction from the crew, camera, people? Like, you need. You need that. You're used to that feedback.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, dude, I'll walk to catering, see if they heard the joke I just said. I mean, I'll go.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

I'll go walk.

[Dan Patrick]

It's brutal because you say something and then no one can laugh. And then, you know, when you get done, the crew could be really good about it sometimes too, because they can then laugh, like after. So you're like, but I mean, yes, sometimes I will. I would walk outside. But you see that. You hear that. You're just constantly doing that. That's a pretty good joke, right? And everybody's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. They go, yeah. And you're like, okay, there you go. Because I poured my heart out there on that one. But it's.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

It's different than the audience that's showing up. They're ready to laugh. The guys on the crew aren't showing up ready to laugh. They have to do their job.

[Dan Patrick]

No, they do. And that's the heart that's been the hardest thing is because it's, you know, we started taping last summer, which is. Which is relatively quick for a movie to come out, you know, But I mean, like, I can't imagine, like when people wait in three years or something for a movie to come out, like, just having to sit there, being like, what's going to happen? Like, you know, I mean, yeah, that's been the hardest part. But I mean, luckily I have shows this weekend, so I've been doing shows and so trying to at least hearing some laughs.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

We're talking to Nate Bargetts. The movie is the Breadwinner opens today. He's encouraging theaters to charge a significantly reduced Nate rate to make going to see it more affordable. Also, upcoming tour dates, Knoxville, Birmingham, Savannah, Greensboro, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, Phoenix, San Jose, and San Diego. How much did you write of this movie?

[Dan Patrick]

A lot of it's like, with my stand up. So I would say it's like it was like a mix of just, you know, almost like my stand up. And a lot of stuff just went through it. And then Dane Lagana would go and, you know, kind of put it all together. But I mean, Logana definitely was the one that had to sit. And he's written scripts and all that, so he sat and did that. So it's. But it's heavily, you know, there's a lot of stuff in there that's like kind of from my stand up. And then we kind of molded it together. But Dan definitely had to do more of the heavy lifting on the writing part of it. It was nice to write it because I could control what I say. Like, there's no crying. I wasn't gonna, you know, I wasn't putting any kind of like, thing that I was like, I don't look like an idiot, you know, like, no crying. I was trying to do no, like, big laughing for me. Like, I didn't know if I could fake that. So I was very.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Well, let me hear. Let me hear your fake laugh.

[Dan Patrick]

You already heard it earlier.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Oh, thank you. Thank you, God. That's. Here's mine.

[Dan Patrick]

That's what I heard all night when I. When I saw you in New York.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

That's true. You could hear me fake laughing all the time.

[Dan Patrick]

I was. That's all I heard from the crowd. I go, loves it. That's what I told my mom when I got off stage. I go, dan loved it.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Nate was killing it out there. Who tells you when. When you're not funny?

[Dan Patrick]

My daughter. My daughter is quick to it and tell me it's not funny. She'll always go, well, that's an adult joke. I mean, she's 13 now. You're like, well, you're 13. You get. And then I'll get defensive. I go, you get the idea of why people would like, it won't you. Like, you know, like, it's brutal with comics. Comics are not. They can laugh, but comics can very much be. They just stare at you, and they'll be like, yeah, dude, that's great. Like, Conan. Conan o' Brien talked about that one time. It isn't exactly that. You're telling joke to a comic, and I'll do it to you. Someone tell, I'm not a great laugh, Red. And sometimes they joke, but you can tell me a joke, and I'll be like, that's the best joke I've ever heard in my life. And it'll be that. It sounds like I hate you, but I'm honestly like, that's the. I'm like, that's the best joke I've ever heard.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

But I hate when somebody goes, oh, that's funny. And I'll go, yeah, then why didn't you laugh? I don't want you to say, oh, that's funny. Well, funny to me is laughing.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I mean, I do do that, too. Where I go, that's funny. And then it depends on if you hear it. Look in this tone. If you're like, oh, that's funny, man. Like that as a comic, that would be. It's really funny. If you're talking to somebody else, you're like, oh, that's funny. You say a little bit quicker. That's. They don't think it's funny. It's like, what do you want them to do? They got to get out of the situation. So they just go, it's funny. And then they're trying to get to the door.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

I always wondered about how, you know, musicians get to play the same songs over and over and over. Billy Joel can play, you know, Piano man until he's a hundred Springsteen, but how often can you bring something back on a new tour, not your current tour? Because I know you're doing pretty much same thing every night.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, look, if I had it as easy as Billy Joel, it'd be nice. I'm joking. That's a real joke.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Oh, sorry.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Oh, that's funny.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. If I had it as easy as Bruce Springsteen, brother, I would be easy. Yeah, you can't. It's the hard part is it leaves your mind, you know, do you probably had this, like, sport. Do you have, like, any, like, so many sports where everybody's like, did you enjoy that, like, finals or whatever that you were able to go to? And you're like, I don't remember going. Because you kind of just have to keep you're doing so much stuff that's, like, kind of crazy. So you kind of got to keep moving. It's like that with stand up. Like, once, once I get done tape, it's special. Which Fort Worth next week, I'm taping my special. And so once I get done taping it, it's like my brain is on, like, panic mode to find a new. To build a new hour. And then once you shed an old thing, it gets pretty hard to remember it. Like, I couldn't do it. I don't. I would have to go listen to my last special to see if I could do a joke from there. I couldn't do one off top because I, I. It just. You got to, like, empty your brain so you can get new stuff in there.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Any actors, comedians, you sought advice on doing this movie?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I talked it. Well, it was, it was cool. So I got to talk to. I did talk to Sandler. We're at SNL 50. I was able to talk to him, and he was, he was very wonderful about it. Like, just, you know, saying, you know, just, he's like, just be there every day just so you can see what's going on and all this, like, the big ones. Wahlberg was someone that I got to know and able to talk to him some about it, but I had Kumail Najiani on in the movie, and he was, he's someone I started comedy with. So, like, my first day he was there, which was nice because it's like, I know him and, you know, it was just. He's just very, he's very positive, very, you know, going, like, that's great. It's great. It's all this. So I mean, he would like him. I would have. And Colin Jost also is so funny in it. And Colin was, you know, Colin would come and he gets, he, I mean, he's, you know, he's a writer. So, like, he comes in and, like, would have, like, lines. He would text me, like, hey, I thought about this. You could say in the movie, like, just extremely helpful. Keep thinking about it on the outside. You know, even when he wasn't on set, he would think about it just to, you know, any of the lines, any stuff he can make better. But yeah, I went to relying on those guys and just, I put myself around people I know, and then like, Mandy and the girls, the daughters we have in it are so good, and they became like sisters on set. And I think that helps, like, once you, you know, once they, they feel like their sisters. So then it Helps you feel like their dad because they're just. You're around them so much, and they're very fun.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Could you see yourself doing a love scene?

[Dan Patrick]

I mean, not. Right. I don't think. Not like. I don't think, like, you know, not white lotus, though. I don't see it going.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

You know, it would be extremely white lotus.

[Dan Patrick]

It would be extremely white. Like, Dane, I think you've been edgier than I will be in a movie, so.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Yo, I know that, but I. I. Sandler just. He tries to put me in the most awkward positions, and he thinks it's funny.

[Dan Patrick]

And.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

And I'm. I'm a fool. And I go, okay, I'll do that, Sandman. And then, you know, like, he had me.

[Dan Patrick]

We all love it.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

He had me kiss. What was her name? What was her name?

[Caller]

Paul Wendy McLendon.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Yeah. Kobe McClendon. And. And I. It wasn't in the script. Nate and I show up on set, and my. My daughter was working as a runner on the set, and all of a sudden, Sandler goes, danny, Danny, why don't you kiss her? She was my wife in the movie.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

And I go, what's not. It's not in the script, Sandman. He goes, I know, Danny. Just. I want you to kiss her. So I kiss her. My daughter walks by and she's mortified. We get done with the scene, and she goes, are you gonna tell Mom? I go, yes, I'm gonna tell Mom. And I said to Sandman, I said, what. What was. He goes, danny, it's acting. I said, okay. I mean, I. I kept saying, let's do more takes. I mean, I don't know if that was unprofessional.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always would like to say, you go, if you're like. Even if you're not gonna kiss, you go, let's just get it on tape. And so we have it, and then we'll see what happens. But it's. Yeah, it filled my day the first day I had to kiss Mandy. And I mean, we kissed. Like, kiss her. Like a little kiss your wife when you go goodbye. Like, you know, it wasn't like anything big, but my wife, of course, comes that day. And then you're like that boy. And then it was funny. We went to the premiere, and so my wife. My daughter is sitting with us today, and then they kiss on, you know, shows the kiss in the movie. And then my wife. My daughter leans over to my wife and she goes, you jealous?

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

I had. I used tongue, though, in my scene. That was. That was probably unprecedented. Yeah. Very method. Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Daniel. Daniel Day Lewis Patrick. That's me.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

All right, so the breadwinner, big movie star, Nate Bargetzi. And it's open today and he's encouraging the rate, so. So he has a good weekend where he can exhale and he can be very proud. And you can see him on the road as well. Knoxville, Birmingham, Savannah, Greensboro, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, Phoenix, San Diego, San Jose. He'll come to your backyard. He'll perform anywhere that I expect you

[Dan Patrick]

to be at all those shows, too.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Oh, are you going to go to Tahoe again this year?

[Dan Patrick]

I am. Are you all going to be there?

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Yep. Yep.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. I'll see you at Tahoe.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Good luck this weekend, dude.

[Dan Patrick]

I appreciate it, man. Thanks for having me, as always. I love you guys.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

That's Nate Borgetzi. He's a big deal now. He's a movie star. Yeah, but he does that. Oh, that's funny. David Spade will do that. Oh, that's funny.

[Dan Patrick]

I'll go.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

No laugh then. All right, so go see the movie. Coming up this weekend, how about we take a break? All right. We got steaks on the rec tech grill. We got our Caesar salad o grot and potatoes.

wonderful job thanks to heartlandstakeco.com and case the heartland difference. You did great job Tomahawks Awesome. Peter Luger Steakhouse. You recreated what they do there.

[Dylan (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah, with the porter houses.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

That was great. Stat of the day has been brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. How about a couple of phone calls in here? Last call for phone calls this day in sports history. And who wins game seven on Saturday? Spurs, a three and a half point underdog, Aaron in Fort Wayne. Good morning, Aaron. What do you have for me today?

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call. Yes, I want to see when I want to see Wendy in the finals. I mean, there was a play last night where his hand was, like, so far above the square when he dunked the ball. He's just a spectacular player. And for somebody that young to come in and then, you know, do it right away, I think we need that. But I also have a retirement idea for you for the man cave. Turn it into a restaurant because my mouth is watered. Call it the meat cave. You know, I can see Dylan as the chef there and Mario as the maitre d. And I'm sure Chris. Chris in Syracuse probably has a list compiled of, like, every, like, greatest dish, but I got a couple of. A couple of them for you here. Fritzi's, hold the Phone, Fried pickles, Seaton's Draft Pick, deviled eggs. And Paulie's executive producer, Pork Belly bites.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

All right, thank you, Aaron. It's been suggested I turn this into a bed and breakfast, which is not far fetched. I could see that. Where you come in for the weekend and you could do a mock show. You could sit in my chair, turn on the microphones, the cameras. You could do some grilling. You wanted to play basketball, some pickleball. Yeah, I think we could do that. Go down to my wife's ice cream parlor, get some ice cream. Yes, yes, Dylan.

[Dylan (Producer/Co-host)]

That all sounded great, except I think Mario's more of a busboy than the

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

major D. Well, he is. The eyes and ears of this program is the director, Mario, sitting with his trusty, trusty assistant, Anthony John in Indianapolis. Hi, John. What's on your mind?

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, Dan. Six one. Regrettable. 230, regrettable. Hey, I got a cigar recommendation for you.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

If you ever have Alec Bradley Preston Auto, they are probably the smoothest cigar I have ever had and would go really good with your mezcal. Your go to.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

All right. I've had a Alec Bradley. I think it's a L, E, C. It's. There's so many great cigars. Last night I was smoking a. My father Blue and then I didn't realize this, but I mentioned this last week, and now I can't get the cigars. They're sold out. So I gotta shut my big mouth. But. Well, I just mentioned it again, but my father's a. If you're looking to buy something for Father's Day and you don't know anything about cigars, you can never go wrong with a Padrone anniversary. They're expensive, but they. For a cigar lover, they're so worth it. The My Father series is really good. You're going to get a great cigar for around anywhere between 9 and 13. And great smoke. Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah, I actually smoked one of those the other night on your recommendation, and it was. It was lovely.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Yeah. And I. I had some tequila last night watching a variety of things, as I always do.

[Caller]

I would love the rundown.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Oh, my God. I watched two things last night that I'm. I'm embarrassed to bring it up, that I was watching it because you're like, what is wrong with your life? Steve in Georgia. Hi, Steve. What's on your mind today?

[Dan Patrick]

6 2, 2, 55. Dan, I'd just like to weigh in on the poll question. There is nothing better than making someone laugh with an original joke. And with your permission, I'd love to tell you an original joke.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Alrighty, Steve.

[Dan Patrick]

I was flirting with a black woman and I asked her if she ever dated white men. She said Caucasianly. Okay. All right.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Well, let me see if Marvin is. Marvin's laughing. Caucasianly.

[Austin Rivers]

When he first said I was dating a black woman.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

You were ready with the dump button, weren't you?

[Austin Rivers]

Real fast.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

All righty. Caucasianly. This day in Sports history. Paul.

[Caller]

1977, Dan the Great AJ Foyt won the Indy 500 for the fourth time.

[Austin Rivers]

Love that guy.

[Caller]

And in 1990, Ricky Henderson stole base 893, breaking Ty Cobb's record.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and the Sherpa guide, Tenzing Norgay, became the first people to reach the summit of Mount Everest. The problem is they knighted Sir Edmund Hillary. This poor Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay, didn't get anything. Like, they were like, oh, yeah, and that guy who was carrying everything.

[Caller]

Yeah, Ed Hillary's going up willy nilly. And Tenzing carries all the gear.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Yeah, Eddie. Oh, come on. He was Eddie Hillary. And then all of a sudden he gets to the top. Now he's Sir Edmund Hillary. Meanwhile, the Sherpa. Those are the MVPs. They got to carry all the gear. And now it's become bougie. To be able to do these mountain climbs where you know they have really high end food for you and the camps are nice and little ten gang. Nord. What was his name? Yeah, I should remember that. Let me see. Anything else that needs to be mentioned here. Larry Bird won Rookie of the Year. Magic won the NBA title this year. Larry. Or this on this date, 1980. Larry won the rookie of the year and then Magic 1, the NBA title and MVP as well. Final results of the poll question. Dylan.

[Austin Rivers]

Yeah, dad.

[Dylan (Producer/Co-host)]

Is there any team in any sport that rivals the fandom of the 90s?

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Bulls.

[Dylan (Producer/Co-host)]

65% say no way.

[Austin Rivers]

Jose.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]

Yes, Paul.

[Caller]

It's not apples and oranges and it's not comparison, the rock star thing that you pointed out. But when I was a kid, the Pittsburgh Steelers felt very famous head to toe. Lots of famous names. I mean, defensive tackles were getting national commercials.

[Dan Patrick (Host)]
