Dylan, the poll results from the first two hours and then the final hour. Would you rather be the ninth person on the moon or win the US Open at Shinnecock? So we. There's three golfers in the history of the US Open at Shinnecock, over 650 players who ended up under par. At the US Open, 12 men have walked on the moon. Yeah. And the results are showing that. Dan, 68% say they want to win the Open. Okay. Yeah. Paulie, Just to give him his due, the ninth man on the moon was John Young. Apollo 16, April 72. Yeah, right. I mean, if John Young walked in. Yeah, he's huge on the moon. Not so much here. If Rachief Goose and walked in, well, be same thing. You'd probably be like, who's that? Or Raymond Floyd. What else do you have? Well, we got a new poll question. We were talking about the Scots in Boston. What's the best drinking nation out there? Obviously, you're gonna have to include Scotland, Ireland, South Korea, other. There's got to be some country where there. No, see, we're gonna offend people. Why is it. Why we just are there be lava. You haven't brought up Chechnya. Well, I know. So the number one selling spirit by volume in the world is Soju, the South Korean spirit. So over like vodka. What is it? It's a. It's kind of like a rice wine thing. It's usually flavored. It's big. If you go to like, Korean barbecue. Oh, forget what it's distilled from. Exactly. But it's like the same. Alcohol is like a wine. Yeah. Paulie. I have last year, Romania, see. Yeah. They led the league in drinks per capita. They. Well, they can be in the other category, but I guess I should put Romania on there. I see you're going to now. It's not, it's like when they have the best partying schools in college, you know, there's not enough room for all the great schools. They should have a, a list of worst partying schools in college. University of Chicago is probably on there. That's its nickname is where fun goes to die. They study a lot. Yeah. Dan Wetzel, the mothership ESPN senior writer. I got a couple things to ask him about because one is I brought up the Caitlyn Clark. I didn't know Dan wrote an article until we started talking about, you know, Nike just rolling out Caitlin Clark's signature shoe in October. I go, wait, where's this been? Dan did a deep dive, but also I can't have him on without talking about Brendan Sorsby as well. How surprised were you that his agent goes on a sports talk show and starts pointing fingers at the University of Cincinnati? First off, I give a little respect to South Korea. They get after it. They're covering Olympics there. I could go an hour, we could go an hour on this subject. I've covered, I covered 10 Olympics. I know these people not just at the countries but in the, in the, in the media lounges. Dude, South Koreans, very, very strong. I like that. Very big good. They're like the Gonzaga. You're not thinking of them. That's why. Lottery picker too in the lineup. Yeah, there. That's why you're the journalist. You are Dan. That's right. I can compare mid major basketball to world drinking rankings. Am I surprised that soar? I think Source B's camp is trying to throw the distract in any way possible. Look, as of what we know from any investigations so far, there's been nothing to the idea that Cincinnati knew there was an alert once that came up that he had gambled. They questioned him and that was the only alert, you know, we'll see. Anything is possible in this world. But generally speaking, most people in college athletics or anywhere are terrified of sports wagering and are well aware that, you know, anything lacking compliance will cost them their career, if not their freedom. So it's the idea that there's a bunch of administrators and coaches at the University of Cincinnati that were sitting around saying, oh, we don't care. Is, is. Is a. Doesn't really hit common sense to me. So we'll see what happens. And the NFL has to let him into the supplemental draft, don't they? Like we haven't heard anything about, you know, Green. I was told a couple of days ago the reason why he wasn't able to announce his pro day. Is the NFL first had to acknowledge that he would be in the supplemental draft, therefore he could have a pro day. I don't, yeah, I, I think they have to. But, but this is the NFL, okay. They once suspended their, maybe their most famous player, Tom Brady, for a month because they thought some footballs were deflated. You don't, you don't know what they're going to make up the rules kind of as they go along. So I don't know where that stands officially, but I do expect Brendan Sourceby to be in the supplemental draft. Whether if you draft him, he is going to face further suspension or discipline at the, at the NFL level is still unresolved. Also, I did a deep dive on Caitlin Clark and Nike in this rollout with the shoe and she's been under contract since I think her junior year at Iowa. I. Yes. What, what happened? Why, why are we. I, I was shocked when I go, she doesn't have a signature shoe. Asia Wilson does. INSQ does. I what, what's the backstory here? Well, there's a lot and it's not just the signature shoe which can take a while to develop. And you want to design it, right. And construct it and all that. And it's a big investment. There's only been one brief Caitlin Clark television commercial. There's very little promotion in stores. There's very little pop up events. There's almost nothing that links Caitlin Clark, arguably, at least for a while, if not still the most popular athlete in the country, male or female, to Nike, who built their, their entire business on seizing people like Caitlin Clark. And you know, one name stars LeBron, Michael Tiger, Serena Ronaldo, whatever it is, and marketing the heck out of them. So the shoe is one part of it. But even on their social media they barely play her. So she has been on the back burner for Nike for most of these four years now. The first two are nil deals at Iowa and they certainly did some things to celebrate her, but not, not, not what like State Farm did. They were putting her right in national television campaigns with Jake from State Farm right away while she was still in college. And then certainly since she got to the wnba, it has been a, it's been very, very little with Caitlin Clark even though she is, you know, she currently has three high rotation national advertising campaigns with State Farm where she stars in her own ones now Xfinity and with Gatorade and you've seen them all. And she has others with Eli Lilly and other companies she's selling everything from Wilson B Basketballs, has a whole line. They say it's the most successful basketball line they had since Michael Jordan. Stanley drink cups, Gatorades, got towels, Panini America, official card of the Dan Patrick show. They've got a whole thing with her. Oh, just trying to help you out, Dan. I know, you know, you gotta knock out the mortgage. Yeah, give you a little extra bump there. She's selling everything. She's everywhere except with Nike. And that's been the weirdest thing. It's the signature shoe as part of it. It's going to come out in October. That's five seasons they've had her and they're finally getting the shoe out. And four years and five seasons since they first signed her. But it goes into all the other stuff of like, why, what, what, what were we waiting for? Because if anything, I don't know if anybody can reach the popularity she had a couple years ago when she was finishing up at Iowa. Anybody willing to go on the record at Nike? No. I mean, so there's a couple things here. One, Nike's been a extremely poorly run company the last five years. Their stock is down over 70%, almost 75%. They've lost 200 billion in market valuation. Last year their revenue was down over 5 billion 10%. And that's at a time when Adidas was up 13%. So they have, they have, they have blown direct to consumer sales. They have, they're dealing with all sorts of challenges in, in the Chinese market. They've, they've lacked innovation. There's a lot of problems at Nike and Caitlin Clark would not solve that. She's not selling $5 billion in shoes. Okay. But it's indicative that there is sort of a couple things. One, that you, you just have pure dysfunction, a lot of paralysis by analysis. Why didn't we get this going sooner? Why didn't we jump on it earlier? And then you have the sort of the political realm where they, you know, in the women's basketball space, they had to get an Asia Wilson shoe out. Asia Wilson is a far more accomplished and better player than Caitlin Clark. She's a, I think four time mvp, three or four time champion, best player, best player in the world. And they had to get that shoe out. And Asia Wilson's an African American player. They hadn't had a single deal with, with a, with an African American WNBA player since the last edition of the Cheryl Swoop shoe back in, I think 2002. So was there some politics involved in that? All of These things are theories. I talked to lots of people work at Nike, lots of people that used to work at Nike, all off the record. And you know, any one of them could be it. Any of them kind of put in together. There's a perfect storm. But Nike invested a ton of money in Caitlin Clark. They're paying her $28 million over eight years, but they just haven't activated it until apparently October. Maybe this summer they'll do some commercials. I think Nike introduced the first Jordan shoe three months into his rookie season. They did. They also got the LeBron out within seven months. Now shoes are a little different now, so maybe it takes a little longer. But again, to me, after the first season, the first season they had her junior year at Iowa when she took them to the championship game and the TV ratings were as high as NBA finals games and everybody was into Caitlin Clark and she was going to come back. To me, that's when Nike and a lot of people in Nike said we should have immediately tried to sign her to a long term deal and set up a shoe so that when she got through her senior year, right as she's entering the wnba, we have a shoe out there, but even if you don't do the shoe, there's other stuff. They've released a couple hoodies and T shirts here, but an apparel line, again, commercials do not take huge investments or lead time. Social media posts, they virtually ignore her. All the different things that are really easy to do. And when, you know, if you read the story, the different people in the story. Will Sebastopol was like, we couldn't, we couldn't put her, they just were buying anything with her name on, like it didn't matter. And our, and all the companies would say when we put stuff on social media that we had a Caitlin Clark, here's Caitlin Clark film in our commercial or whatever we had. The numbers were just incredible. There was just an insatiable appetite for Caitlin Clark, particularly in 2024. I still think there is in 2026. It's just a, one of the great marketing failures, sports marketing failures. And it's from Nike of all places, who almost invented sports marketing. Good to talk to you as always, Dan. Thanks for joining us. Thanks, Dan. That's Dan Wetzel. He knows going to the Olympics and you go into those, you know, media bars, you know where you go in there and you have a, you know, like the hotels. That's good reporting. He doesn't want to go in there and drink. He goes in there just so he's a good reporter there. Who else do I have up there? Steve Sands. All. All bar. Hang. Going to the Olympics. Hotel bar. Hotel bar. Steve Sands, first teamer. Yes, Dylan. Yeah. The South Koreans, in my experience, they. They can party. What is your experience with the South Koreans exclusively here in America, Dan? But, you know, go to Korean barbecue. You see just that they'll order bottles of soju and they'll. They won't clear the empties out, which I think is popular in other countries. Like, you know, if you go to Spain, you'll see a guy with like, 30 empty beers on the table, and it'll be like all of the food is, like, concentrated on one side of the table, and then it's just empty bottles. Oh, so they don't clear them so you have room to actually eat. I mean, you can, but I think that sometimes it's just customary. Just leave them. I don't know. I could be totally wrong, but that's. I've seen it. Yes. Paul, Going back to that list of countries with the Highest alcohol consumption, Ireland. 11th. Debunking the. The brand. But if you've been Ireland and you've been to Ireland, it's not a drunken mess like St. Patrick's Day here. They're professional drinkers. They actually are quite controlled. I don't think they do they celebrate St. Patty's Day the way we do. No, no. But like, I think when you've been a temple bar in. In Ireland, in Dublin, it gets pretty lively, but it's more tourists than locals. Yeah. Well, it's 11th right now. I guess I have to spend some time there to kind of get those numbers up. Yes, Mark. Yeah. I think Ireland kind of hurt the stereotype because when I went out there, when we went. We went out there as a collective, people walking around in Notre Dame gear. The locals were like, I mean, I guess Notre Dame, they're like fighting Irish. They're like, I guess. Yes, Dylan. Yeah. On that poll question, I'm getting a bunch of comments. Wisconsin, as one of the great drinking nations. The state of Wisconsin. Yeah. All right. I'll give that even Madison if you want to zero in. Madison, Wisconsin, by city. Yeah. They don't get cheated. Yeah. Yeah. I. I'm kind of disappointed in my homeland, you know. What are you guys doing? Let's go. Yeah. Paul. I have Germany in the fifth spot. Right on cue. The Seashells. Number seven. Is that like an island? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Is it the Seychelles or the Seashells? Seychelles. Seychelles. Seashells. Seashells. By the seashore. Don't let Fritz eat. Do that. That'll be a mess. Who else is in? Lithuania in the 10 spot. Ireland. 11. Poland. 12. Luxembourg. Saucy at 13. Wait, who's one? Romania. Romania. And then Georgia. The country, not the state. Russia. Yes. Okay, the Czech Republic. Latvia. 4. Germany, 5. Dang. That's all spirits and alcohol. Okay. Beer. All right. All right. Where is South Korea on that list, Paul? Are they on there? Didn't make the cut. Really? Maybe they're emeritus and they took themselves out of the running. My South Korean experience? Out the window, I guess. Yeah. All right. Have we exhausted this? We good? Take a break? Sure. Yeah, let's take a break. Get some more phone calls. Coming up, update our poll results as well. Once again, this looks like a nice parade. Part of me surprised, not disappointed. But maybe the time of day, 10 in the morning, maybe less. Drinking all the idiots late at night in New York. That's when the damage happened. But yeah, they seem very well behaved here. We'll take a break. We're back after this. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio apps here.

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. 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. I was like, no. 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. Listen to Irsay the Audible and iHeart audiobook club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.

We got clear facts. Maybe we could calm down a little. NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News reporting for America. Oh, big day today. Got more World cup action. You got the parade, you got the US Open and two guys who work in the back, Rob and Anthony. They said yesterday can we go to the parade, and I said, you can go, but I need you to body paint and take your shirts off. And they said, yes. They called my bluff, and they join us there. They. So that's Anthony in the front and Rob in the back. They have their shirts off. And how's the parade going, guys? How's the parade? We were unable to get in, but we were. We. Yeah, sorry if the connection's not great. We're here in front of msb. Okay. And we were unable to get into the parade, so we were just in a bar for a couple hours. And yeah, Rob, this is the greatest day of your life. But you didn't get into the parade. How do you feel? I'm still on cloud nine. It. It doesn't matter. There's Nick. Let's go. Nick Chance outside msg. Like, it's. It's great. It's great. I've never been happier. But you guys got there too late to get into the parade round. I was there at 5:45 in line, and I still did not get into the parade. So I tried my best. And again, I thank you for letting us come. But, yeah, 5:45, I was here, and the line was wrapped around maybe three blocks, so I tried my best, but this is the best we got. And are you going to see about 6? And are. Are you going to see the Knicks? Well, I mean, we. We unlikely at this point. No, I mean, we're about, I don't know, 30 blocks away, maybe from where they are right now. So we were watching it live. That was the best we got at this point. Wait a minute. You took the day off, went all the way to New York, and then you went into a bar in New York to watch the parade in New York? I mean, like, you could. You could say it that way. We had the intention of going to the parade, but, yeah, we did slide. Okay. We can't wait online for, like, two hours. Well, you're unsuccessful. I'll give you an A for effort. I'm glad that you guys got an opportunity there. And I'll let you get back to, I guess the bar that you're. You're watching the parade from. Yeah, somewhere around Madison Square Garden. We're. We're here. No, I don't know when the next play, but we're here just in case. All right, that is. That's Rob and that's Anthony. Back room guys with their shirts off somewhere close to Madison Square Garden. Imagine you're up that early, you take the train down, going to Take you two hours and you start walking. And then you realize you're staying in line for two hours. And then you're not getting in to see the parade. And then you have to go to a sports bar in New York to watch a New York parade. Okay, that pretty much sums up the backroom, guys. Yes, Todd. And you end up 30 blocks away. That is quite the distance for someone to get there that early and not get anywhere near it. They sounded like they're a little tuned up there, too. Yes, Dylan, sitting at a bar and watching the parade sounds infinitely better than standing there and watching the parade in person. Yeah, but these guys wanted their Knicks fans. They wanted to be in the middle of it. You're still in New York. You're in the zip code. They actually, they might not be. They might be in a different zip code. Yes, Paul, it looks like they're there for a totally different parade. This month. Yeah. Oh, whatever you want. Yeah. They got a lot of pride in their nick. Yes, they do. They'll be down in the Village later. I. Right there. That's. That pretty much sums up our show. If you're watching on Peacock, it's Anthony with his shirt off. He's looking non plussed. He's looked very white is what he's looking. An emotionless, shirtless young man. Let me see. Trip in Vegas. Hi, Tripp. What do you have for me? Hey, D.P. always good to speak with y'. All. I got a couple of guys out here working on some My Father Blues. Evidently you cornered the market. People are all over it now that you've mentioned it on the show. And I had a question for you on Monday when you were talking about. They're talking about bringing back hand checking. I have a question for you about Marvin. So with longer than average arms but smaller than average hands, he would never be called for hand checking. But couldn't he get called for tickling? Tickling. Be a flagrant one on Trip right there for that. Marvin. That's mean spirited. You have. You have longer arms, but you have smaller hands and small feet, too. I know. Yeah. What happened? I wear a size 10 and a half and I'm 6ft. Yeah. Most times you're wearing 12. 13. Yeah. Like Dylan. Yours are like 13s, aren't they? Yeah, I've been a 13 since I was in like seventh grade. So I just looked like an L for a while. Mike in Chicago. Hi, Mike. What do you have for me today? Hi, Dan. First time, long time. Six feet, 170. I got a Little bit of a bone to pick with you. Oh. My daughter is getting married in April, and from the minute she got engaged, my biggest concern was losing it. Sobbing uncontrollably at her wedding during my speech. Okay. Now, my biggest concern is that I'm going to be laughing hysterically thinking about you during my speech. Well, why would you have a bone to pick with me? Because you're going to be laughing and not crying. Yes. Okay. Well, yeah, sure. Go ahead. Whatever helps you get through the speech. Mike, if I could laugh at you and it helped me with my speech, I would do that as well. Thank you. Good luck. Good luck. Everybody's got advice, you know, like, everybody's a tough guy until they get smacked in the face, right? Isn't that what Tyson said? Everybody's the tough guy until you get punched in the face. Everyone's got a plan to. You punch him in the mouth. Yeah, that's it. Everybody giving me advice. I. I'm sorry. I can't do what you do. Or you did. Jay in Tucson. Hey, Jay. Thanks for taking my call. Appreciate it. Five, nine. A cool 215. Before I say anything, before I say anything, I want to tell you that my wife was stalking you last week. She was in Connecticut with my daughter and went out of her way to drive by your building and took a picture and sent it to me, which is pretty cool. But what I wanted to talk about is nobody's. I don't hear the conversation about why any NFL team would think about taking Brendan Swordsby when he's proven that he'll gamble on his own team. I mean, if you're an NFL team and you take him and he relapses, are we all going to say to them, you should have known? I mean, I don't understand why anybody would even take the guy. Look, I'm not begrudging the guy to get a job and have a career. Yeah, but. But you know, Jay, and I'm not using this as a pun, but there's always going to be one team to gamble on, you know, somebody who's a little suspect. It's baggage. How much baggage? How good is he? This is a lot of baggage. And if I'm Arizona or Cleveland or some of these teams that might need a quarterback or the Jets, I'd be like, nope, don't do it. Don't do it. And look, maybe he turns out to be a good pro, and maybe he doesn't have any issues moving forward, but I can't take that risk. Certainly at that Position. Can't do it. Thank you, Jay. Jeremy in Ohio. Hi, Jeremy. Hey, Dan. How are you today? Great. I got two things for you. So I live in Springboro, just north of Mason. I know you used to light this place up. So it's in the middle of nowhere, like, you know. Well, we have a company that you may want to look into here. If your boys can't find body paint, it's called Amazon Prime. They can normally get stuff to you in about six, seven, eight hours. Yeah, I know. The big city. Sometimes stuff doesn't get there very quick. But they could look into that. You know, I check into that company. Okay. With the, with the, with the Brendan Forsby thing. I've heard you and other talk. Just people talk about, oh, we have all these guardrails and all this stuff with the sports gambling. Are we supposed to believe there's not hundreds of other players doing this? With him having 2000 bets over three years and two schools. Yes. Yes. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. This is what I'm worried about. That's what they're worried about. I mean, we're going to make an example of Brendan Sorsby's Sourcebee. There's other players out there. There's other athletes in other sports. Yes, it's happening. There are guardrails, but guardrails, you know, depending how fast you're going, it won't keep you on the road. Yes. This is a. To me, it's a big issue. I know I'm a buzzkill, but I, I just. I know where we're headed. And he broke a simple rule. You can't bet on your team. He shouldn't be able to play college football. You can't have a judge who has a myopic view of. Well, he's got to sit out the Oregon State and Abilene Christian game. Wow. You sent a message to him. And for everybody who believes he can come out after 30 days, 35 days, and everything's going to be great. You don't know anything about addiction because he will relapse. That is part of recovery. He will relapse. Sean in Daytona Beach. Hi, Sean. Dan. Thanks for calling me back. Long time, long time. You were talking about the tartan army earlier. And as an owner of three kilts, myself, two family and one work kilt, I was wondering, you said you're Scotch Irish. Have you ever worn the kilt yourself?

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. When you wake up alone, very far from Earth. 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. I was like, no, 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. Listen to Irsay the Audible and iHeart audiobook club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Final results of the poll question Dylan Best drinking nation Ireland, Scotland, South Korea or other. Contrary to the data, 55% are rocking with Ireland still. Okay, fair enough. Any other poll questions that you wanted to update? Yep. Would you rather be the ninth person on the moon or win the US Open at Shinnecock, that classic one. 68% still saying they want to win the US Open. And why not? Does this Knicks team win another title? Sorry, Robin Anthony, 85%. Same day, Mike in Connecticut. Hi, Mike, what do you have for me today? Hi, Dan. First time caller. 5 11, 145. I just wanted to make a comment because I read for the White House weekend ufc. Professional fighters are allowed to bet on other fighters. But as you were talking about, when it transitions to other sports, like NFL, suddenly it becomes a problem. Well, I think boxers can bet on themselves, at least they used to be, to win. I don't like that. I mean, you could have somebody throw a fight, which has happened before, but, you know, with a hundred football players, you know, on each roster, I, you know, you can just factor in like, I don't know what percent of these teams would have people who are placing bets. I'd say the odds are probably in your favor of, you know, at least 5 to 10% of those players placing bets. I mean, it's prevalent, it's prevalent on college campuses and, and you know, the way it's kind of portrayed is like, what's wrong with you? You don't have something on this game or a propette or a parlay. It's like somebody who is going to pressure you into drinking. Like, what's wrong with you? You're not going to have a drink. That's what gambling has become. Yeah. Dylan, first of all, I would never do either of those things, but, well, well, we know that like pros, particularly NFL players, they, they love the casino. So, like, I mean, obviously it's not the same, but like, you can run into plenty of problems, addiction wise, playing table games and stuff like that. Obviously you have, you know, resources to manage it. But. Yeah, I know, and I, I keep repeating myself, but I, I feel like I need to, but it's just because you can go, you can go down this back road, this alley, and all of a sudden you're kind of going, how did I get here? And thank God I lost the last bet I ever placed. And the number of temptations I've had, number of times where I go, man, I could bet on that, or I think this is going to happen. There is no amount of money where I'm going to go, man, I'm glad I'm back. I'm glad I'm doing this because I, I just know where it leads. I don't even like being in the stock market because I Don't like checking on the stock a couple of times a day. I hate it. I hate it. I just, I. I don't need any action to watch a sporting event. In fact, I'm the opposite. I won't watch if I'm betting. Yeah, Paulie. I think with players betting both NFL and college, they're so hardcore on this is because the NFL and college football can do nothing to alienate the fan. Really. Their ratings just keep going up and up and up. But if someday you can't believe in that sport, that's the one that would kill the sport. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. This day in sports history. Paul, I got just two for you. Dan Don Sutton, curly haired pitcher in 1986 when his 300th game. That won't be happening too much anymore, if ever. And Fred Lynn, very good player for the Boston Red Sox. Hit three home runs, a triple, and a single in the game against the Tigers, 10 RBI. On this day, 2000, Tiger woods wins the US Open by 15 shots at Pebble Beach. Yeah, that's where you go. He is completely different than anybody else because I remember Ernie Else and Mickelson like, we were trying to shoehorn guys in there. Like, come on, you go in. I don't want to go in there. No, you go in, you challenge him. He was so good that it's like everybody knew. It wasn't like, yeah, you know, I think with Arnold Palmer and Lee Trevino and Tom Watson when, When Jack Nicklaus was Jack Nicklaus, they're like, I, you know, we'll go after him. We're hall of Famers. I think Tiger just scared anybody from wanting to be in second place. Yeah. More. Remember, David Duvall was a thing for about 18 months or so, but then he realized what it took to be the number one player in the world. And I still go back when Tiger won at St. Andrews. I think he shared. I think Duvall shared a flight on Tiger's jet. And Tiger's there holding the Claire for seven hours. Yes. You're just staring at that thing. Oh, that pesky thing rattling around in the overhead bin. 1973, the NCAA makes urine testing mandatory for everybody. I don't know if I ever got my urine tested when I was in. Maybe they didn't care. They weren't concerned. They were hoping that maybe I was taking something. Ah, clean again. Come on, man. You weigh 170 pounds. You're six three. I know. Hi, I know Trina in Georgia. Hi, Trina. What do you have for me? Hi, Dan. And Danit, my husband and I love your show. Just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation on the rec tech. We just got my husband a nice new fancy. Can't wait to throw some meat on it. And then also for Polly specifically, or anybody who wants to weigh in, we're looking at taking a trip to Vermont in October and would love recommendations on where to eat, where to hike, where to stay, where to drink. Do you want to give her some information? Yeah, if she stays on hold of it. Yeah. Vermont's great. Dan, you know Vermont very well. We know Vermont very well. Drive up and down the state, go to small places. All right, Trina, stay on hold. Then Paul will. Will give you some suggestions here because nobody knows foliage like Paul does. It's Paul foliage. Yes. Not fall. Thank you. Foliage. It's Paul foliage. You're throwing out compliments, Dylan. I know, and I have Dylan, you know, when they're making fun of. Wouldn't be able to hand check somebody, but you'd be able to tickle somebody. Thanks. That's still one of the top five moments in show history when we revealed the results of who had the biggest hands. Oh, my God. Or smallest hands. Well, I know I was trying to skew, you know, positive. We don't even remember who had the biggest, do we? That's how impactful. I do. Yeah. Oh. Oh, Dan's gonna remember. You remember. Yeah, no big deal. No, no big deal. Yeah. If I was at the combine, like, I'd be fine as a. As a quarterback. My hand size. I'd be all right. Let's see. Todd, you learn anything today? The Scottish fans are showing Bostonians how to drink, causing local bars to run out of beer and order emergency shipments. Dylan, don't sleep on the Romanians at the bar. Apparently not, Marvin. Greg Norman does not want to see you. No, you see, Bad things happen, Paul. Romania compound. Rebecca Lowe will join us. Have a great day, everybody. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
