Getting to a great idea is hard in college. Nonsensical essays, cringe inducing presentations, and seemingly unsolvable problem sets. But then the first thought becomes a final thesis. Jumbled slides transform into a polished keynote. And that midterm assignment gets a lot less mid because the road to great ideas is littered with bad ones.

Fox Sports Radio Announcer
You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio.
Dan Patrick
We did it. We made it to the final hour this meet Friday. I just went out and inspected the rec tech grills we got. Well, Dylan, why don't you give the menu here.
Dylan
Little rundown band Steakhouse day Cowboy cut ribeyes, bone in of course, Porterhouse steaks, Wagyu Tri Tip deconstructed wedge salad and lobster Mac and cheese.
Dan Patrick
Okay, so the wedge salad isn't a wedge. You deconstruct the wedge.
Dylan
Yeah. So it's the exact same ingredients, just chopped up.
Fox Sports Radio Announcer
Wedge already.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Lobster Mac and cheese has gotten Fritz's attention.
Todd
Sounds so good.
Dan Patrick
Thank you, Todd. Meet courtesy of Heartland Steak co stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. We've got some new additions here. We got some new shows coming up that we'll talk to you about. Podcasts, some other things. And Todd goes, are we going to hire a human resources person? I go, I'm hr. He goes, I know, but, you know, we're kind of getting to be a little bit bigger company. Should we have hr?
Todd
Seemed like a reasonable question.
Dan Patrick
No. Well, here's. Here's the thing. Is anybody ever happy to go to HR or see the human resources department? It feels like Toby from the office, like, whenever he was around, Michael hated him. And I don't think anybody's in a good mood when you go, hey, HR wants to see you. All right. I don't know if you guys had run ins at any other place you worked with with either yourself or somebody had to go to hr, But I. Even when you see the HR person, I was always really careful of what I was saying, just because I'm like, man, I wonder if they'll take this the wrong way. Yeah. Dylan. Yeah.
Dylan
It's never been a good thing to say, HR wants to see you. It's like the. In war movies, when the wife sees, like, the black Lincoln driving down the driveway. It's like, it can only mean one thing.
Dan Patrick
Yes, Paulie.
Paulie
We all worked at a different place years ago, and the HR department was on our level. So it's right down the hallway, and you just kind of went around it. You just walked around it like there's a force field.
Dan Patrick
And then. But you'd always peek in to see if somebody was in there in the chair, like, ooh, well, he's in there. HR Wants to see you. All righty. Final hour. Poll question. Dylan.
Dylan
Well, Dave, would you like a quick recap?
Dan Patrick
Sure. Absolutely.
Dylan
All right, Baker Mayfield. Preach on, preacher. Keep it in house, dude. That's literally evenly split 50.1 to 49.9. Favorite cut of steak, rib eyes. Running away with that at 50%. And then if the Dan Patrick show was a sports team, who should the host trade ASAP before the deadline? Todd is edging me out by a 3% margin. He's got 35 I've got 32. Paul, he's got 16, and Marvin has 15.6.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I don't want to trade anybody. In fact, maybe I trade for some people. Like we're in it to win it. I'm all in. I'm not, you know, getting rid of salaries here. No salary dump here. Yes, Dylan.
Dylan
I mean, I am on a rookie deal, so it would be kind of foolish to trade me.
Dan Patrick
I may franchise tag Marvin, though. I may franchise him.
Marvin
Oh, one big deal for a year.
Covino
Yes.
Dan Patrick
This week. Well, maybe two years. Because if I have two years left this week, Sunday night baseball. The Red Sox are headed to Los Angeles.
Todd
Todd, I love that.
Dan Patrick
No, what?
Todd
I was supposed to save it. Oh, there's a drive to the left field. You wanted me to my sound effect.
Dan Patrick
I didn't want you to do it yesterday and you did it.
Todd
I know we're not on the same page. It's terrible.
Dan Patrick
I'm gonna take the Sunday night baseball. Red Sox are headed to take on the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Thank you, Todd.
Caller or Guest
It's a home run.
Dan Patrick
East versus west only on NBC. And Peacock, you can see this show on Peacock. Thank you for downloading the app.
Todd
That was one too many. That was one too many.
Dan Patrick
We have rhyme time coming up a little bit later on this final hour, right, Todd?
Todd
That's right.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Dak Prescott had a nickname for the Cowboys offense. Greatest offense there is now. I think it's a really good offense, but if I'm Dak Prescott, I don't think I nickname, you know, if, if you're gonna have Greatest show on turf. They were until they met the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Like, if you're going to say greatest offense. I'm sure he's joking, right? Because I think, you know, greatest show on turf. Other nicknames, we take pride in it. It's the way we've been practicing. The Cowboys offense finished second. Total offense. The Rams were the only team with a better offense. Dallas seventh in scoring and they have their entire starting offense back this season. Yeah, I've been saying that if they get a top 15 defense, I think they're going to be a force in the playoffs. I do. And it's not just for clicks because I'd go out of my way to not talk about the Cowboys, but that offense. 4,000 yard passer, 1,000 yard rusher and two receivers who had a thousand yards. And you have a good tight end as well. Yeah, Pauling.
Paulie
So Dak Prescott says he and his offensive players, the skill position players each year have like an off site hangout. And they went to Park City, Utah, and when they were hanging out, they came out with the nickname.
Dan Patrick
I don't think it's a great nickname. Greatest offense there is. But they're calling themselves Gotti. All right, so, okay, got. I. I'm. I'm okay with that now. If you win, this is great. But when all of a sudden, you know, Gotti gets shot down and all of a sudden you're, you know, your offense gets incarcerated. See what I did with that time? Very clever. Thank you. The offense isn't the problem here.
Caller or Guest
It.
Dan Patrick
It's the defense. Because they were like 31st. Yes, Marvin, but what.
Marvin
But if the Cowboys offense gets shut down, the headline's going to say got him.
Dan Patrick
Like, you see, like, got him got instead of got him got him. Maybe not maybe. Maybe the headline writers will pick something more creative.
Marvin
Like what?
Dan Patrick
Cowboys offense incarcerated? Yes. Yes, Dylan.
Dylan
Or the Cowboys offense got shot in front of Spark Steakhouse.
Dan Patrick
Well, that wasn't Gotti.
Dylan
That was Paul Castellano.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but Gotti. Gotti was involved in that.
Todd
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Yes, allegedly.
Dylan
We're totally kidding about that.
Dan Patrick
Is that steakhouse still in business? Spark Steakhouse, Paul.
Paulie
I was there two months ago.
Dan Patrick
Really?
Paulie
And New York City Spark Steakhouse. I had always heard of it. I think it's Midtown 45th street or something.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, yeah.
Paulie
It's right in the middle of the street.
Dan Patrick
But did they do anything to commemorate?
Paulie
Oh, like a plaque.
Dan Patrick
Paul Castellano getting shot right outside of it.
Paulie
I didn't see anything. It's a really busy street. So, like, there had to be tons of witnesses.
Dan Patrick
Well, nobody.
Paulie
Not official.
Dan Patrick
I didn't see anything. But there's no plaque or nothing to commemorate.
Paulie
Yeah, I didn't order the Castellano.
Dan Patrick
Oh, man. Bloody steak.
Todd
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Didn't he have a house on Staten Island? And I think a lot of the mob guys would never have shrubbery in the front so somebody could hide. And I think his house, I think, was just recently sold. Big white mansion, but I don't think there's any shrubbery in front. Yeah, Paulie.
Paulie
Yeah. Paul Castellano in the 80s had a 33,000 square foot mansion in a Todd Hill neighborhood of Staten Island.
Dan Patrick
Okay. And it looked.
Paulie
It really does look like a baby white house.
Dan Patrick
But does it have any shrubbery out front?
Paulie
This picture I have is more modern. And it does, but not right out front.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Paulie
Grounds are well kept.
Dan Patrick
Well, those are probably people who weren't in the mafia who may have bought this house.
Paulie
Checking.
Dan Patrick
But I remember that they bugged that house. They. You know, like somebody, maybe a guy installing cable or something, and he got in there and he. He bugged the house where they would sit down and have these conversations. Yes.
Dylan
Dylan, do you think a restaurant has ever benefited more from someone getting shot in front of it than Spark Steakhouse? Because I have to imagine that is a big percentage of why people go there. I mean, it's a good steakhouse as well, but.
Dan Patrick
Yes.
Paulie
Paulie, there's a place, I think Umberto's in Little Italy, where someone got whacked years ago. I got to check the name, but it got a lot of notoriety in Little Italy. I used to live near there.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I've been to Umbertos, and that's like, 18th, I think, somewhere. 18th and 6th. Yeah.
Paulie
Paulie, Joe Gallo, a Colombo crime family gangster, was shot in at umberto's Clam House, April 72, and business thrived.
Dan Patrick
Umberto, that's a. That's a nice place. I've been there a couple of times. Nobody got shot when I was there. Ah, I know.
Paulie
Is that like a nightly routine?
Dan Patrick
No, I'm like, come on. Yeah.
Paulie
Paulie, the good news, if there is any about getting whacked outside a steakhouse, is Paul Castellano was on his way out, so he got to finish his.
Dan Patrick
Oh, he got to finish his meal.
Paulie
Right side.
Dan Patrick
I remember being in Chinatown, and it was packed, and I remember a guy had a heart attack. And so it's. I mean, it's business as usual. Like, people were still milling around getting food, and this guy's on. Laid out on two chairs, and people are still eating. And my wife and I. I'm like, that guy might be dead. I don't. An ambulance came. They took him out. I don't know what happened to him, but it was like, hey, are those seats taken? Yeah, he's. He's here. He's lying on him right now. All right, well, when that booth is, you know, empty, can we sit in there? Oh, we'll check in with the 49ers. We have a report.
Todd
Yes, Tom, it's possible he didn't really want to pay his bill. You got to factor that in. Hang in there, kid. Only about 45 more minutes.
Marvin
Yes, Marvin, what about this headline? Gotti gets mobbed.
Apple College Ad Announcer
Okay.
Dan Patrick
I mean, you're.
Caller or Guest
You're.
Dan Patrick
You're like, todd, just give up. Like your first one was okay.
Marvin
No, no, no, no. I'm following Fritz's footsteps.
Dan Patrick
No, no, don't. No, you should.
Todd
Do not give up. Eventually, something will Stick on the wall.
Dylan
Never surrender.
Dan Patrick
Yes, Paul.
Paulie
Be yourself, Marv. You're doing well.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, well. Okay. Joe in El Paso. Hi, Joe. What do you have for me today?
Caller or Guest
What up, vp? Hey, listen, obviously I'm a huge fan of the show. I'm a huge fan of the Dan Patrick Takes a Gamble podcast. And on this most recent episode, you threw out a name just didn't jokingly matter. It was the name Samir Patel.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Caller or Guest
And immediately I remembered back when you were on the radio on the mothership that you would do life cut ins to see you became a fan of his.
Dan Patrick
Yes.
Caller or Guest
On the national for the national spelling bee. And I don't even know how this came to be, but I remember you. You guys used to do life cut ins to see if he would advance. And I just thought that was some of the funniest radio. I just thought it was awesome. My question to you is, did you ever meet him? Was he ever aware of his fame and notoriety, that his performances were being, you know, broadcast on national radio?
Dan Patrick
Yeah, we had him on. We had him on. And then I, I had him spell like Shashevsky, AJ Prinski, Chris Fuamatu, Mala Fala. And he couldn't, he couldn't spell those. But you know, they, they don't prepare for those words. But yeah, Samir Patel was always our favorite on the spelling bee. I think he was maybe three years in a row that he was on there. I don't know if he won it, but he was always our favorite on the national spelling bee. Greg in Wisconsin. Hi, Greg. What do you have for me?
Caller or Guest
Hi, Dan. First time caller 5, 10 and a half, 210. Just like my idol, Jack Tatum.
Dan Patrick
Oh, okay.
Caller or Guest
Want to take issue about your horn bands? Oh, there are others you left out that you should have mentioned.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Matt Barrows
Tower of. Tower of Power.
Caller or Guest
Yep. The Commodores.
Dan Patrick
We mentioned the Commodore.
Caller or Guest
The average white band. Awb.
Dan Patrick
We mentioned awb.
Caller or Guest
I must not have been listening. And the most famous James Brown and the famous Flames.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but that's really about James Brown. But yeah, okay, yeah, look, this is, I didn't, I didn't do research on this. It just came up off the cuff.
Rich
Tower of Power.
Dan Patrick
I saw Open up for the Rolling stones in the 70s. So I'm, I'm aware of them. But we mentioned AWB. Earth, Wind and Fire is my number one draft pick. Yes, Marvin.
Marvin
On a lower level, maybe second tier. The Ohio Players.
Dan Patrick
Ohio Players, Yes. Sure, why not?
Marvin
Lots of great horns, great horn sections,
Dan Patrick
and they had great album covers.
Marvin
Yeah, they did. Those are Life changers.
Dan Patrick
Yes. Like, whoa, those women. I don't. I never meet those women. Of course, I was probably 12 at the time. Mark in Minneapolis. Hi, Mark. What do you have for me?
Caller or Guest
Hey, Dan. Pleasure. You're the best in the business. Good to talk to you.
Dan Patrick
Thank you, Mark.
Caller or Guest
So in. I'd like to see you trade the. The newest fifth, Danette. That damn inflatable Denver Bronco thing you got in the back row.
Dan Patrick
You want me to get rid of that?
Caller or Guest
I want you to get rid of it. It appears in every image, like video taken of your cast. I see. It's one thing to have it in. I understand the angle that it is in Dylan's shot, but every video of Marv now or shot of Marv has that thing in it.
Dan Patrick
All right. I'll take that under advisement. But that's, you know, like, you have people who have their comfort dog when they go on a plane. Is that what they're called, comfort animals? Emotional support doll. That's what that is for Todd.
Todd
It's like the line of Splanket and Snoopy.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Yes. Dylan.
Dylan
When he said that inflatable Broncos in the back, I thought he was talking about Todd.
Dan Patrick
I did, too.
Todd
I don't bring that into the studio. That's in the basement. It's very personal.
Dan Patrick
Do you have an inflatable Bronco like a John Elway doll?
Todd
I really don't want to talk about this publicly. I'm going to click. We'll let this story go out in about 11 days and I'll tell you all about it.
Dan Patrick
Rudy in Orange County. Hi, Rudy. Hey, Rudy.
Matt Barrows
Hey.
Dan Patrick
Hey, Rudy.
Caller or Guest
Hello. You there? Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Rudy.
Caller or Guest
Yeah. I got two things. I got a good nickname for Dylan.
Dan Patrick
Oh, okay.
Caller or Guest
I got Fat Jesus from the Hangover. Every time I see his face and hear him, I think Fat Jesus.
Dan Patrick
What do you think, Dylan? What do you think of being called Fat Jesus?
Dylan
It's not the most far off one I've heard.
Dan Patrick
Maybe Fat Jesus.
Dylan
Thank you. Gracias.
Dan Patrick
Yes. Well, thank you, Rudy, for that. How about we take a break? We're going to check in with the 49ers. There's been a lot going on there. Trying to find a reporter who was willing to talk about it. Take a break. Back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Listen to Podlandia. Ayo rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Jake Brennan
I'm Jake Brennan, and on the Disgraceland podcast, I explore the wild lives of rock stars and unbelievable true crime stories from music history. These are the stories you haven't heard. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Like the time Paul McCartney spent in one of the world's most notorious prisons. Imagine that you're Paul McCartney. It's 1980, you're an ex Beatle, and you're doing time in one of Japan's worst prisons right there alongside Yakuza gangsters. And for a ridiculous charge or the bizarre crime Lady Gaga is accused of. Who is the artist? Lady Gaga is being accused of doing the unthinkable to after allegedly stealing her music in style to become famous. And what about that time Blondie's Debbie Harry escaped a serial killer? The man who had given her that ride she barely escaped from was Ted Bundy. Listen to Disgraceland on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Dan Patrick
Might have a update on Tony Romo's situation with cbs. Trying to sort through the information that I have. I'll give that to you as soon as I get an opportunity. Matt Barrows, he covers the 49ers for the Athletic. He's been covering the team since 2003. Matt, thanks for joining us on short notice. How would you describe the last two weeks around this team?
Matt Barrows
Hectic. That would be the way I would start it. It seems like there's a big news item every moment here, including last night with, with Debo Samuel, the big one, and I'm sure you want to ask me about it is, is the Kyle Shanahan accident crash and that's obviously still looming over the team right now. I don't think he's going to be back at practice today in full and we really don't know exactly when he's going to kind of resume his everyday duties.
Dan Patrick
Okay. It just feels like we keep adding to the mystery of this. Why, why isn't this just a cut and dried story that coach gets injured, car accident, non life threatening injuries. We'll let you know when he's going to be back at practice. Couldn't it just exist like that from the beginning?
Matt Barrows
It, yeah, it should have if the team had kind of disclosed it on what was it, July 14th where it happened. But I think when you don't do that and there were some things out of their control that happened. For example, the Palo Alto pd and this is part of the same issue I think, and not disclosing things and kind of creating a problem because of that. The Palo Alto PD does not handle accident reports like, like crime reports. They're not public information. So they didn't disclose the accident report. They still haven't to this point. So it's not available. It's not like you could go down there and you know like a, like a good reporter and check the police logs and you would have found it. It, it didn't exist and the only way it became public was when they submitted the information to a state database which was public. The problem is that they, they submitted it incorrectly. They got one of the items wrong, which was who caused the crash. And that led to the confusion, like maybe a day's worth of news items were saying that this other driver, the 21 year old female driver is the one that swerved. Well, no, that wasn't the case. So it just adds another layer of kind of, you know, uncertainty to the whole thing and makes people think that there's more going on there than. Than what there really is.
Dan Patrick
It just feels like if the Niners come out and say he's in an accident, then, okay, we'll wait for any details that come out after that. It happens. But when everybody's holding this information or those who had it, held it, and then you get the green light, and then everybody's got a tweet and then you have a story, and I go, they're just, they're adding to the suspicion surrounding this. That's, that's what I. This, to me, it was preventable, Matt.
Matt Barrows
Well, you're speaking to the choir on that, of course. I mean, I can only think that they were waiting to see, you know, what would happen with Kyle Shanahan. This happened 11 days between before the start of training camp and before he needed to be in front of the media, in front of the team, etc. Etc. So I think that they thought that there was a possibility he would have been back in full by that point. I mean, if he had been back, there's no way, you know, if he's up there at the, at the podium with his hat pulled down low like he normally wears it, at that point, I don't think anyone could have. Could tell that he'd been in an accident. It's the concussion that's really been the lingering issue, and you just never know when that's gonna heal back to normal. But I agree with you 100%. If they had just put it out immediately and if the Palo Alto PD had just said, okay, here's the accident report and here's all the information and all that confusion and all of the distrust, you know, towards the team, towards court reporters. I'm getting a lot of the, the back blow from it, too. Like I'm, I'm somehow in cahoots with Kyle Shanahan and Palo Alto pd. I'm not. Wouldn't have, Wouldn't have occurred.
Dan Patrick
When Shanahan was made available to reporters with no cameras, any topics, not allowed.
Caller or Guest
There were.
Matt Barrows
I mean, they were off the record, so I can't tell you, but he kind of explained what his, you know, his point of view was, and this was on the record. I mean, he was very distressed that this other driver, a 21 year old female he, who he was already really guilty over, you know, putting in harm's way, had initially been blamed for, for the crash when it was his fault, his inattention.
Caller or Guest
Yeah.
Matt Barrows
So that was the, the impetus of him calling Reporters in. And then the other part was to explain what we just talked about, that it wasn't his intent to hide it. He said that he, you know, called 14, I don't know, maybe. Maybe a dozen close associates, friends, family, let them know, and he didn't tell them not to put it out there. He thought it would. It just didn't at that point. And the team hasn't said exactly why it didn't put it out there. You know, to your point, it's, it's an accident that happens. There was no, you know, criminality involved. No one was cited in the, in the whole thing. He's the only one that got hurt. So I think that they just, they just figured, you know, it's, it's something that everybody has, and we're just going to kind of let it go.
Dan Patrick
As for the Niners on the field this year, that seems to be a mystery, too. Matt, you're in a real tough division. How would you handicap what to expect from the Niners?
Matt Barrows
Well, with the 49ers, it all boils down to health every year. And, you know, one of the guys that they're, they're counting on, Ricky Pierce hall, he was, he was going to start opposite Mike Evans this year. I think his season is really up in the air now. He's, he's still dealing with the PCL issue that, that bothered him for more than half the season last year. They're, they're going to sign Deebo Samuel, and he very likely will kind of slide into that Z receiver role opposite Mike Evans, which is great. I mean, there's not going to be any kind of learning curve there. He's well known inside the locker room, but he's another guy in his 30s on that offense. And you're talking about a team that's dealt with health issues in recent seasons. Those, those health issues, Dan, don't go away when you turn 30. And I think that's going to be, you know, if everybody can stay healthy or they can even stay relatively healthy. They showed last year in going 12 and five that they can be a good team, but I think that that is, you know, is going to determine whether they're keeping pace with the Rams and Seahawks or not.
Dan Patrick
Matt, thank you. Not everybody wanted to talk about this. I appreciate, you know, you've been covering that team since 2003, so thank you for joining us.
Matt Barrows
Anytime, Dan. Thanks for having me.
Dan Patrick
Matt Barrows covers the Niners for the Athletic. Been with the team since 2003. This is what happens in local Markets now used to be newspapers were very powerful and a newspaper reporter, columnist, they would go with the story. Like they weren't worried about the Niners were going to shut out the newspaper or a reporter or columnist. It's changed now. You don't, you don't have teams as far as reporters covering. And they're worried about the newspaper or tv, local TV station. You know, you're, you're able to control the narrative, or at least in this case they did. For 11 days they controlled it. And then you had people who had information were given the green light to then report on it. It's, it's not a coincidence that they put out a statement and then you get a tweet from Adam Schefter and then you get an article on espn.
Marvin
Yes, Mark, but it's such a bad idea because holding it for 11 days just even raises more questions. Or even like the off the record press conference with Kyle Shanahan. Now you even have more questions about what's going on.
Dan Patrick
They just, just missteps. That's, that's all I can, how I can sum it up? Just, you keep adding to it. Sports Business Journal and others. Now this is a statement from CBS Sports. So it's not that they had it. I want to give credit if anybody broke the story. Tony Romo is on leave from his role at CBS Sports until further notice. J.J. watt will work with Jim Nance and Tracy Wolfson for the time being. Now, you wouldn't say J.J. will be working with Jim Nance and Tracy Wolfson for the time being unless JJ will be doing the games because Tony Romo's on leave until further notice. Okay, that could be for a month. But if you're mentioning JJ with Jim and Tracy, then JJ Watts probably going to be doing games, regular season games to start the year. I wonder about the future of Tony Romo with kind of everything that's happened in the last couple of years. He's very expensive. You know, there's, there's a lot of opinions and reports that aren't flattering about his work ethic. He was great when he first got out and he was, you know, Nostradamus and he, you know, everybody wanted to have a Tony Romo. You know, analysts wanted to change how they approach the game, predicting things, and then all of a sudden lost his edge, maybe the ability to do research or take the research given to him. But if you're going to have JJ working with Jim and Tracy, I don't think Jim and Tracy are working on Anything until they work on the NFL regular season. I don't know if. If Jim and Tracy are. And CBS are doing preseason games. Usually you'll do a preseason game to get ready for the regular season. But I don't know about cbs. I don't know anybody there. But Sports Business Journal is reporting that Tom in California. Good morning, Tom. What do you have for me?
Caller or Guest
Morning, DP Danets. Thanks for taking my call. Couple of items. One is another band to add to your funk band list. And. And the other item has to do with Dylan. GR. First of all, the funk band, also from the Bay Area like Tower of Power band is called Cold Blood and with a fantastic lead singer by the name of Lydia Pence. Now, Dylan, early nominee for most valuable. Danette. I consider Dylan to be the Shohei Ohtani of the DP show. Double duty in the back row and on the grill. Fantastic. Also, quick, another comment about Dylan. I. I think Dylan's doppelganger, or Dylan is the doppelganger of Gabe Kaplan.
Dan Patrick
Put.
Caller or Guest
Put those two pictures together and see if they look alike.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, we've mentioned that before. I think. Where is Dylan? Is he out cooking?
Paulie
I look back and he's gone.
Dan Patrick
Yes, Marvin.
Marvin
He's actually chopping up the meat right now.
Dan Patrick
Dylan Franco Harris is another name that comes up with Dylan, Sean and Indy. Hi, Sean.
Caller or Guest
Hey, Dan.
Dan Patrick
I got a nickname for Dylan since
Caller or Guest
you're talking about him. The human voice box.
Okay.
Dan Patrick
The human voice box. Tell. Tell Dylan we're doing a show in here. Yeah, he's out there. Isn't there somebody else to chop up the meat? Todd's going out to tell him.
Paulie
Yeah, Paulie, I think I need a rear view mirror at my desk. There's a lot going on behind me.
Dan Patrick
Well, Mario just put it in my monitor that. Now Todd went out and got him.
Marvin
Yes, Marv, I'm snitching. Frissy's eating.
Dan Patrick
Todd, you got knocked out. Did you grab a piece of tray?
Todd
One little piece of meat. Just one little piece. While I was getting Dylan to bring him back to the center.
Dan Patrick
That's it. You're done.
Todd
I asked if it was okay.
Dan Patrick
No, you have to ask me. I'm going to run you. I'm going to run you. I'm going to toss you.
Dylan
Don't run him back to the kitchen.
Dan Patrick
People were talking about you. You weren't here. They. They were giving you most valuable. Dan. Ed, I.
Dylan
Well, I was cutting up rib eyes and. Well, apparently there's less of it now, but it looked pretty nice.
Dan Patrick
Isn't there somebody else who can help you with this?
Dylan
There is today. I'm kind of. I'm dying on the Shield today, Dan.
Dan Patrick
I know, but I need you to die on the show.
Dylan
I could do that, too.
Dan Patrick
I know that. All right. Oh, I. I know you're doing that job, but there should be somebody who's able to chop up some meat here.
Dylan
Oh, I'm gonna work on that.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Caller or Guest
All right.
Dylan
So who was the look? What was the best look?
Dan Patrick
It doesn't matter now.
Dylan
Least offensive one? Can we do least offensive?
Dan Patrick
No. Somebody said you look like Gabe Kaplan.
Dylan
Oh, yeah, that one. That's a big one.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I said Franco Harris a little bit.
Dylan
All right.
Caller or Guest
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Layla in Florida. Hi, Layla.
Caller or Guest
Hi, Dan. Hi, danette. Happy Friday. 5. 5 and practically perfect in every way. I'm calling. Thanks for taking my call, Dan. I'm calling in because I don't know if anybody has mentioned that July is National Golf Month, and it's also National Sandwich Month. And I was thinking about one of the segments you did this month, which have all been fantastic, but you were talking about what makes a marriage strong and in our house. Well, my Rocco's heart is in sports, and the way to his heart is through his stomach. So anytime I can combine the love of sports with the love of culinary delights, then I remain an all star on the team.
Dan Patrick
Well, you sound like an all Star, Layla. Thank you. How about a round of applause for Layla? Layla.
Matt Barrows
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. Great cook. And, you know, maybe practically perfect in every way. Yeah. Maybe play some golf.
Dylan
Sounds good.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I'm fine with it. I'll play like those par three courses. Oh, yeah. You know, so my wife can play and you don't have to have a 450 yard hole. You got, you know, 128 yards or something. That's fun. During COVID We did that. It was amazing. The number of people because you were looking for anything to do outside and the fact that you could go play golf and, you know, spend two hours together just kind of knocking it around. It was great. It was great. All right, we'll take a break. Last, last chance for phone calls. What we learned what's in store for Monday. It's a meet Friday, so if you're watching. What time?
Todd
Last chance for rhyme time.
Matt Barrows
Oh,
Todd
we had to talk to Matt Barrows and talk about the.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Whole 49ers said you could have steak or rhyme time.
Todd

Dan Patrick
I got a few I'm gonna let you do rhyme time. I will. If you're watching on Peacock, we're going out to the rec tech girls after this.

Dan Patrick
Alrighty, last call for phone calls. What we learned. Once again, if you're just joining us, CBS put out a statement that they are putting Tony Romo on leave, I guess suspending him. I don't know if we're dealing with semantics here, but until further notice, J.J. watt is going to be working with Jim Nance and Tracy Wolfson. Can we find out if CBS has pre game, I should say preseason football games because I don't know if that's what they mean by JJ working with Jim and Tracy because that's the number one team. But JJ Watt being elevated to the number one analyst, at least for the time being with cbs. Let's see Scott in Florida. Hi, Scott. What do you have for me today.
Caller or Guest
Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call. Second time, long time. 5, 9, dad bod180. I have a take on Baker and the Bucks. I think that the Bucks and really Jason Light are kind of doing him dirty. He's been a very good quarterback for us. He came in after Brady, which was no small feat, and he's carried us to the playoffs. And he deserves 46 to 52 million, I think. I don't know why the Bucks won't pay him for what he's done for us. Like, who else do they think they would get? I think that one of your guests said that maybe the Bucks aren't used to paying quarterbacks that much and. Okay, fine. I think that might roll up to the Glazers ultimately, but that's. Get off my long talk.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I don't understand it, but they might view it as. We don't have to pay him. Let him play out this season and then maybe if you want to franchise him. I don't know what they're doing with Vita Vea either, because that's a huge. He wants out. Baker didn't say he wants out. He just wants to be upgraded. He wants to be paid. Yeah.
Paulie
Paul, going back to the thing about Romo, your question was, does CBS have any national preseason games? They have one. Bengals Eagles on CBS, August 28th. That's week three preseason.
Dan Patrick
Okay, well, then maybe that's what they're talking about. With JJ Filling in for Tony Roma. Larry Fitzgerald, hall of Famer, going to join us on the show coming up on Monday, this day in sports history.
Paulie
Paul, I just have a couple for you, Dan. I got Enzo Ferrari, the race car driver in 1932, retired from racing. In 1950, he launched a car dealership. Guess what the name of it was.
Dan Patrick
Ferrari.
Paulie
That's right. And the baseball strike in 1981 was seven weeks and came to an end on this date.
Dan Patrick
On this date, 1997, the A's traded Mark McGuire. He had 34 home runs at the time. He was sent to St. Louis for T.J. matthews, Eric Ludwig and Blake Stein. Who won that trade? Cardinals. On this date. Oh seven Celtics acquired Kevin Garnett from Minnesota. Two first round picks and five players. Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff and Sebastian Telfair. Who won that trade? It's time for rhyme time, Todd.

The Dan Patrick Show — Hour 3 (July 31, 2026)
iHeartPodcasts | Dan Patrick Podcast Network
This lively episode of The Dan Patrick Show covers a blend of sports news, pop culture tangents, and the show’s signature banter. The central themes revolve around the Dallas Cowboys' self-proclaimed nickname for their offense, the ongoing Kyle Shanahan car accident saga with the San Francisco 49ers (including an in-depth interview with Matt Barrows from The Athletic), and updates/gossip from the NFL world—most notably about Tony Romo’s status at CBS. The episode is filled with witty exchanges, calls from fans, and concludes with the show’s rhyming trivia segment, “Rhyme Time.”
Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ skill position players named their offense “Greatest Offense There Is” (acronym: G.O.A.T.I.) after an offsite team bonding trip to Park City, Utah. (07:45)
Dan is skeptical and jokes about the risks of giving yourself a grand nickname before proving anything significant, referencing “The Greatest Show on Turf.”
The offense’s real stats: Second in total offense last season, a 4,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard rusher, two 1,000-yard receivers, and a solid tight end.
Concerns remain about Dallas’ defense, which ranked near the bottom, while the offense isn’t considered the main worry.
“If you’re going to say greatest offense…I’m sure he’s joking, right?...But when all of a sudden, G.O.A.T.I. gets shot down and all of a sudden your offense gets incarcerated. See what I did with that?” – Dan Patrick (08:00)
The crew banters about possible negative headlines if the team fails (“G.O.A.T.I. gets incarcerated,” “G.O.A.T.I. gets mobbed,” “Got him”).
The G.O.A.T.I. nickname sparks a side discussion on mob history—comparing Cowboys’ fate to John Gotti/Castellano—and iconic New York steakhouses (Sparks Steakhouse, Umberto’s Clam House).
Paulie shares he visited Sparks recently; jokes fly about commemorations and the mob’s landscaping habits.
These pop culture analogies keep the tone light and lively.
“Did they do anything to commemorate Paul Castellano getting shot right outside of it?” – Dan Patrick (09:28)
(Main segment: 23:05–32:22)
Matt Barrows (The Athletic, since 2003) joins to unpack the confusion surrounding Kyle Shanahan’s car accident.
Why the confusion?
Barrows criticizes the 49ers for their secrecy, saying a prompt statement up front would have avoided distrust (26:03).
Shanahan eventually met reporters off the record to clarify details; his main concern was blame being wrongly assigned.
Dan notes (and Barrows agrees) that these PR missteps “just add to the suspicion” and legacy media’s shrinking power means teams curate their own narratives (29:39; 32:22).
“If they had just put it out immediately … all that confusion and all of the distrust toward the team, toward court reporters … wouldn’t have occurred.” – Matt Barrows (26:33)
Dan shares a Sports Business Journal report: Tony Romo is on leave at CBS; J.J. Watt will join Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson “for the time being” (32:22).
This fuels speculation about whether Romo’s future is secure given past criticisms ("lost his edge"). Paulie clarifies a single pre-season game is on CBS’s slate (45:51).
“If you’re mentioning J.J. with Jim and Tracy, then J.J. Watt’s probably going to be doing games, regular season games, to start the year.” – Dan Patrick (34:01)
“Russian money desired, deadline hurler: Ruble Scubal.” (47:08)
On Cowboys’ Nickname:
“If you win, this is great. But when all of a sudden, you know, G.O.A.T.I. gets shot down and all of a sudden your, you know, your offense gets incarcerated. See what I did with that?”
– Dan Patrick (08:00)
Shanahan Story’s Mishandling:
“The problem is…they submitted [the report] incorrectly… and that led to the confusion, like maybe a day's worth of news items were saying that this other driver, the 21-year-old female driver is the one that swerved. Well, no, that wasn't the case.”
– Matt Barrows (24:03)
On Team PR Missteps:
“They just, just missteps. That's…how I can sum it up. You keep adding to it.”
– Dan Patrick (32:36)
On Tony Romo/J.J. Watt News:
“If you’re mentioning JJ with Jim and Tracy, then JJ Watts probably going to be doing games, regular season games, to start the year.”
– Dan Patrick (34:01)
Listener on Dylan (the grill-master):
“Double duty in the back row and on the grill. Fantastic. Also…Dylan is the doppelganger of Gabe Kaplan.”
– Caller Tom (35:34)
This episode expertly mixes breaking NFL updates, colorful detours into pop culture and mob lore, and earnest sports talk. The segments on the Cowboys’ bold self-branding and the evolving 49ers news cycle provide substantive discussion, while the show’s banter and Rhyme Time segment showcase its unique, irreverent charm. For NFL fans seeking both news and entertainment, “Hour 3” offers the full Dan Patrick Show experience.
