He works for the YES Network and also ESPN Sunday Night Baseball analyst. And I've been watching baseball and reading about baseball and I forgot about Aaron Judge. And I looked at the numbers. His April is mind blowing. Like it's, it's Barry Bonzian. And I said to Fritzi, I said, see if David Cohen will join us just to put this in perspective. And Coney joins us now. You get to see this on a daily basis here. What exactly did Aaron Judge do in the month of April?
Paulie
Well, Dan, thanks for having me on again. Always a pleasure. I got my time zones mixed up. Central east coast, you know, 10:00, 11:00. But you know, we'll leave that where it is. But you know, watching Aaron Judge since the day he showed up, I was in the booth with Joe Torrey, actually, and Paul O'Neill on his major league debut had a massive home run off the center field restaurant, the black Glass up in, in Yankee Stadium. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. And then over the years, we Said, well, yeah, tremendous power. Strikes out a little too much. He struck out about 40% of the time on average when he first broke in. Now it's in half. He's cut that in half. He's only striking on 20% of the time now and his batting average is over.400. The power is still there. He's such a smart hitter, Daniel. He's chasing less than ever. You can't get him to chase those breaking balls out of the zone anymore. He's hitting for a high average. It's just, it seems to me that the only way you can talk about Aaron Judge is talk about how smart he is as a hitter. He anticipates the flow better than ever. He knows how you're going to pitch him and, and he's, he's on you. He knows you, he reads you. He's getting better and better and better every year to where now he's only striking out, as I said, about 20% of the time. Major League Baseball average is about 22%. He's below average striking out now and still hitting 450 foot home runs.
Dan Patrick
But he has a bigger strike zone. I think eight years ago everybody talked about is that swing going to hold up. You know, big guy, long swing, but it has held up. But you as a former Cy Young winner and you win five World Series titles, I want you to, you're going to face Aaron Judge right now. So first inning, he comes to the plate. How do you start Aaron Judge?
Paulie
Well, he does swing at enough first pitch fastballs to where that kind of scares me a little bit. You know, even though he's very selective now, he gets a ton of walks, he doesn't chase, but he's still ready aggressively for that first pitch fastball. So Dan, I'm still, I'm trying to get ahead of him. I'm trying to sort of get ahead with a breaking ball because a lot of times he'll spot you that. So if you can drop a curveball in there for the first strike, then you've got count leverage. And now maybe I'll try to bust him up and in, out of the zone, but, but everything I'm throwing him is around the edges and up in the zone. I still think, you know, you try to get him up and in any great hitter, if it was Barry Bonds, if it was Babe Ruth for that matter, I've got to test them up and in to see if they'll chase, to see if they can hit a fastball right on the upper right quadrant, upper Inside corner. And then once I find that out, then I'm back to trying to throw breaking balls. But that's where he's been so impressive. He does not chase. The fish aren't biting, Judge. This year it's just his chase rate is top five. He just does not, does not chase breaking balls out of the zone.
Dan Patrick
All right, you're going to face Shohei Ohtani. What are you doing?
Paulie
Same thing, you know, I've got to do to try to get ahead somehow because he's very aggressive from the first pitch on. And if I were to give any advice to any slugger out there, I would say be ready on the first pitch. If you're going to spot me a strike, then I'm going to take it. I'm going to get a lot of the plate. If I think that you're going to, you know, not swing. That's how I face Mike Piazza in the 2000 World Series. I knew he would take a first pitch strike, so I threw an 85 mile an hour fastball right down the middle and he took it for a strike. And I still can't believe it. And then I went to work, I started throwing sliders, started throwing fastballs in, got him to pop up. So that, that's kind of the strategy. Try to get ahead with something off speed, eventually test them up and in throughout the course of the at bat and then see if he can still try to get them to chase. And they're two hitters that don't chase all that often.
Dan Patrick
But you look at these guys who are, and I would think that first pitch, you're, you're not trying to throw something away, it's going to be around the plate. That if I'm a hitter, I'm just, I'm going to sit on something, I'm going to guess that you're going to throw me a fastball and it's going to be around the plate. That would be my mindset coming to play. I don't know how many hitters have that first pitch mindset.
Paulie
It's a great point. I think more and more we're seeing it. You know, the thing about analytics in today's game, you know, every account is analyzed. Nowadays you have reams and reams of information nowadays that players get inundated with and sometimes that might take away from the natural order of things in terms of their aggressiveness. It makes you a little more information you get, the less aggressive you become, generally speaking. But with that being said, the great hitters can really zero in on a location, and if they get it, they're going to jump on it. And that's what we call cheating. And the first pitch of an at bat, if you're cheating on a fastball, you can start your swing a little bit sooner. And if you get fooled or whatever, you still have two more strikes to work with. So that's the pitch that gives count leverage. That's the pitch of the pitcher wants to get ahead of, and that's the pitch that the hitter wants to do damage on because it might be the best pitch he sees throughout the whole at bat.
Dan Patrick
If you could start your franchise with Ohtani or Judge, would you take.
Paulie
Oh, wow. You know, I mean, I, I guess the projection is how much pitching can you get from Otani? You know, with the injuries, what he has left. I mean, if you're going back a couple of years and obviously Otani with the pitching side of his game, it just puts him above everybody else. But there is no doubt that in the batter's box with a bat in his hands, there's nobody like Aaron Judge. He is clearly the best hitter, better than Juan Soto because of his power numbers, better than anybody in the game. Right now, Aaron Judge, offensively speaking, is the best hitter. And it's not. It's not really even an argument.
Dan Patrick
You did well against Bonds. I, I remember. I. He didn't even bat.200, I don't think, against you.
Paulie
Yeah, I caught. I caught early Barry Bonds, you know, in his Pittsburgh years, you know, in the Mets day. So, you know, early Barry Bonds is a different cat than. Than later San Francisco Giants Barry Bonds.
Dan Patrick
But you couldn't make him. Like he had a strike zone about the size of a breadbox, you know, mailbox. And, and he was not swinging on anything that wasn't in that little area. It felt like. How tough was that to, you know, if you miss, it's gone.
Paulie
Absolutely. You know, and the thing about Bonds was, is that he kind of choked up on the bat. You know, he. You think he looked like Phil Rizzuto up there, the way he choked up on the bat at times. Right. If you ever seen Phil Rizzuto and how much he choked up on a baseball bat, that kind of bounce was that way. And what that made him so dangerous at was fastballs, and he was so quick. If you tried to pitch him in and you did not get it in there, that's the ones he lost. You know, those were gone. Those were hit hard. They were either a line drive or a home run. So you had to be really careful when you tried to pitch Bonds inside because anything, anything that didn't, that didn't get in off the plate, he was going to have a good swing at.
Dan Patrick
What is that like when you throw a pitch and it's almost like an O bleep that, that, you know, you threw a pitch and it's a bad pitch. The question is, what are they going to do with it?
Paulie
Yeah, almost out of my hand. You know, it's like hitting a golf ball fat. You know, I mean, you play golf and you, you know, you got a wedge in your hand from 120 yards and you, I mean, you're going to stick this close and you just, you lay the sod over it. You know, that's how it feels out of a pitcher's hand. It's just, you're late with your arm, you get around it, it gets a loose spin on it, you feel it immediately off your fingertips and you're going, oh, almost, almost halfway to home plate. You kind of have already process the fact that that's fat. That's hung. Watch out.
Dan Patrick
Do you have one? You remember where they weren't very kind to the baseball?
Paulie
Yes, I remember in the playoffs with the Yankees. We were playing the Cleveland Indians, bases loaded. Jim tow me up at the plate and I hung one of those pitches, one of those sliders. I was trying to throw it back doors, trying to sneak it over the outside corner. It came out of my hand fat, as I said. It kind of just spun in there and it just laid out over the plate and he hit it in the upper deck at the old Yankee Stadium. The sound off is bad. I still hear in my sleep at night sometimes. I mean, it was so loud, the way Jim only the way Jim told me could hit it. And it was a grand slam. And, you know, we ended up winning that game. It was the clincher in the playoffs in. I think it was 98, I believe we were playing the Indians in the playoffs and we ended up winning that series and luckily we scored enough runs. But that, that brought him back. That grand slam from. Tell me, Tell me. Brought him back. And I still remember it like it was yesterday.
Dan Patrick
And it's. And it's. There's certain sounds. You know, baseball is about sounds. And you could tell when something's off the bat. You can tell when you're at the plate and you can hear that fastball coming by, how it hits the mitt. But, you know, Maddox told me it sounds like two cars crashing when he gave up a home run he just said, yeah. And he said, look, I'd rather you hit it 450ft instead of know, 298 down the left field line.
Paulie
Yeah. You know, it's. Have you ever been in a restaurant where the waiter drops a bunch of dishes in the back and that sound. And the dish is breaking?
Dan Patrick
That.
Paulie
That's what it sounds like to me. You know, that sounds off of Jim Toy's bad. I mean, if you, you know, kids today, if you want to see, you know, a mountain of a man swing the bat and listen, you know, Jim told me is the guy to go to YouTube and watch his events.
Dan Patrick
Can Aaron Judge hit 400?
Paulie
I would say probably not.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Yeah, he's not going to beat out a lot of infield hit. I mean, you got to get some of those like little, you know, five hoppers that you can beat out.
Paulie
Yeah, absolutely. And, and also there, there is the random variance, the luck factor. Right. I mean, analytics. If the one thing I love about analytics, modern day analytics, is it kind of shows you, you can look under the hood, as they say, and say what's kind of lucky and what's going to regress to the mean a little bit. And certainly batting average on balls in play, those ground balls that are always finding holes, you know, tend to turn around. They start to find gloves after a while. So that's the fortune part of it. The batting average on balls and play is, is unbelievably high for Aaron Judge right now. And you got to figure that's going to, some of those hard ground balls are start, start to, to go at shortstops and second baseman. And he's not going to, he's not going to have that high of an average on, especially on the balls on the ground.
Dan Patrick
Where are we with torpedo bats? I thought they were ruining baseball and I haven't heard much about torpedo bats. What happened?
Paulie
Yeah, I think that was just, you know, if you, there'll be case studies on how, you know, how do you create a viral moment? Right. How does something go viral in today's, Today's day and age? That was just a perfect storm. Michael K. Set it up perfectly. The Yankees had a bunch of home runs on that day when he, he talked about for the first time the torpedo bat, when actuality the torpedo bat had been out for several years and other players and other teams actually were using it on that day. And everybody thought, oh no, it was a Yankee thing, the Yankees are cheating. And it was just a perfect viral moment where everybody thought this was, this is Brand new technology. What is this? We got to ban this. You know, this is too good. And boom, there goes Jazz Chisholm hitting the home run. Boom, there goes Anthony Volpe hitting a home run. And it just created this moment to where everybody just jumped on the bandwagon and thought, this is new. This is. This is. There's something funny going on here, when in reality, actually it was. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's like getting fitted for golf clubs, you know, it's like a game improvement club, so to speak. You know, the torpedo bat that gets the mass. Where you hit the ball the most often. And that's supposed to help you a little bit, but it's certainly within the rules. There's nothing illegal about it.
Dan Patrick
What's the highest percentage you got for hall of Fame votes?
Paulie
Oh, gee, I. I was one and done. You know, I think he had to get 5%. I was a little under 5%. I think I was 4%. Ish. Something in that range, you know. You know, the. The dynamics of the hall of Fame vote. There's only 10, 10 players you can vote on in that particular year. There was a lot of good players on the list, so I just. I couldn't quite get enough to stay on the ballot.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but you would. You didn't win 200 games, which probably, you know, we like round numbers, but you were on five World Series champions. You won a Cy Young. That pretty good resume.
Paulie
I have no complaints. You know, I mean, that's another reason, you know, why I like modern analytics, is because war, the WAR ranking, whether you use fan graphs, you know what these websites that sort of calculate the WAR rankings, it's baseball reference, B WAR or F war. Fan graphs. War, They're. They're both a little different in terms of pitching. One's based on era, one's based on fit field or independent pitching. So it gets a little technical. But, you know, I'm around 60 war, you know, on both of those categories, and that's kind of the. The entry point to being considered for the hall of Fame. But I still kind of think I'm a classic borderline guy. And when I look at my generation, I can really kind of count on five on one hand who the. Who the guys were. You know, I mean, let me think. Randy Johnson, Craig Maddox, Smoltz, you know, Pedro Martinez, even Roger Clemens. You know, all the controversy aside, I.
Dan Patrick
Mean, what about Kurt Schilling?
Paulie
Why is shilling. Absolutely. Is above me in my mind. Absolutely. You know, put the politics aside. Or whether you like them or not. Or morality or whatever. I mean, I'm not sure if I want all the sports writers, the guys I hung out with in the hotel bars all those years. I don't know if I want those guys to be the boy judge, you know, of anybody, to tell you the truth. But Kurt Schill is a Hall of Famer.
Dan Patrick
I always thought that Pedro Martinez was underrated.
Paulie
Absolutely. I think if you talk to a lot of hitters who faced him, they would say he's the toughest. Cal Ripken, Jr. Ask Cal Ripken Jr. Who the toughest pitcher he ever faced, and that's Cal. He played every day. He didn't miss anybody.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, Pedro.
Paulie
Pedro's the answer, you know, so that tells you kind of what you need to know about who you didn't want to face, your least likely pitcher that you wanted to face. And a lot of guys would say, Pedro.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I always viewed him as kind of a right handed Sandy Koufax. He. He just put up incredible, incredible numbers there. Great to talk to you. Tell Michael K. We said hello and thanks for joining us.
Paulie
It's my pleasure, Dan. Anytime.
Dan Patrick
That's David Cohn. I think he had what, 192 wins, something like that. And was on five World Series champions and a Cy Young winner in Kansas City, I believe.
J
Yeah, Paulie, he was 194 and 126 in 17 seasons.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
J
Isn't that like the Frank Gore of his sport, like you compiled it? He won 20 games at age 25. He won 20 games at age 36.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. He didn't. He didn't win a note like Frank Gore is what, top five in rushing?
J
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
You know, Coney didn't. He didn't. If he had two, like Tommy John. To me, as a Hall of Famer, he had 288. That would be like a Frank Gore. He had sustainability for a long period of time. You know, Don Sutton got into the hall of Fame. I think he was a compiler. Yeah.
J
Paul cone was also eight and three as a postseason pitcher.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I like.
J
Nice bonus.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I like that. All right, get phone calls coming up and let me see anything else that needs to be mentioned. Go to tailgate or danpatrick.com and you'll click on the Spirits tab.

Y'all are ragging on him for wearing Nick's gear, and y'all are just gonna look past what Dylan's weari dressed like a thrift store mannequin. I don't appreciate it, but my question.
K
Is, and maybe you guys will have.
Dan Patrick
More insight on this, how does college game day manage the signs that will be behind them? Because I'm really looking forward to the North Carolina game day. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Zach, it is going. Okay. This is what happens. There are game day sign police. They. They have people who are looking to see what you're bringing in. Now, we had people when I did occupy game Day and had you guys bring in signs that just related to the show, like a message that could be to Fritzi or Shay and Irving, whatever it might be. But we did occupy game day, and you guys were really good at sneaking in signs, and you would sneak in a sign and then you'd peel off the sign, and then it would be a message to our audience. I think if Game Day North Carolina, with Belichick and his girlfriend not encouraging anyone to do.
K
No, it's an organic Grassroots movement. And that happens on its own.
Dan Patrick
Yes, of course. Now you got people choosing sides and coming out and defending her. And then you got Belichick's son's wife, who was criticizing her like this. A mess. But this is not what you. You know when you say any publicity is good publicity, this isn't good publicity for Bill or North Carolina. Yeah.
J
I've got the UNC football schedule and the game. That makes sense because they don't have a bunch of monster home games. They've got Clemson at home this year, October 4th. If there's a light weekend, there's a chance.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but game day doesn't need to have a big matchup. They just there, this is the event. Is North Carolina not who they're playing? Yeah, because I tune in, it's just like, what campus are they on and how will they show out? Not who is Oregon playing? You know, normally they're going to a big matchup, but in this case with North Carolina, I think it's just. We're going to go. Isn't that the first place you should be going this year? I don't know if game day has put out their schedule where they're going. Yeah.
J
Pulling with Coach Corso retiring, a lot of people think they'll open at Florida State no matter what.
Dan Patrick
Okay. His alma mater. Okay. All right. Be fine with that. Dennis in Venice. Hi. Dennis in Venice. Yes, sir. Yeah. Oh, so I had a question. If you're the GM or the owner of the four major sports, so you could be the GM owner, you can have Ohtani and Judge on the team. Mahomes or Miles Garrett on the team, Anthony Edwards or Luca on the team. Or ovechkin and Connor McDavid on the team. On the same team. Who you want to be the owner or GM of? I don't know. I'd probably look at Ohtani and Judge. But thank you for the phone call. Dennis from Venice and Dan in Vancouver.
K
Dennis and Venice and Dan and Van.
Dan Patrick
Dan. Van.
K
Come on.
Dan Patrick
Hi, Dan. Morning. 5, 10, 1, 8, 5. Dan, you and I are the same age, and I've never been angry enough to call. But Marvin. Marvin is small, hands down. Correct. On the Stevie Wonder call. Any way that you measure it, Stevie Wonder comes out on top. You talked about the amount of instruments that Prince plays. The only thing that Stevie Wonder didn't play on most of his albums was guitar. Yeah. You talked about Prince being a hit maker. He had five number one hits. Stevie Wonder had 10, 25 Grammys compared to seven. Don't think it's even close. I. I appreciate the passion and it's just personal preference. Songs in the Key of Life is a wonderful double album. If you don't know what a double album is, Google it. But I didn't get to see Stevie Wonder. I got see Prince. And just saying Prince. Prince was pretty spectacular. Stevie was amazing because, you know, he's blind and you're going, how is he doing this? But Prince could play every instrument. All I know is when Dave Grohl was asked about, you know, great guitar players, he said, Prince. Look at Prince in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame when he gets up there and you got all those great guitar players. All of a sudden Prince goes, I'm gonna take over from here. And you got George Harrison, you got Tom Petty up there. And Prince goes, I. I got this one.
K
And they're all kind of like, okay, you can see at a certain point, there's like a lot of looks around and eye rolls, like, here. He goes, yeah, all right.
Dan Patrick
He is shredding.
K
And they're like, okay, see, this isn't what we do.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, okay. How would you feel if you're those musicians? It's the Rock and Roll hall of Fame, and all of a sudden Prince decides to go solo.
J
Yeah, Paulie, I've watched that clip 20 times. Tom Petty and everyone there, I think they probably loved it because Prince doesn't do stuff like that. And they knew that even though they're the sideshow and Prince was a star in that five minute stretch, a moment was made and sometimes you have to give it up. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I think they're okay.
Dan Patrick
I think they got healthy egos and they're like, look, we are not going solo. Yeah, it was impressive. I just wonder what they thought as a, you know, fan. Just watching, I'm like, damn, look at Prince go. Meanwhile, if I'm Tom Petty, you know, George Harrison, he gave us. Wow. My guitar gently weeps. You know, he's Clapton up there too, maybe. Yeah. I don't know.
K
It's like Steve Winwood or something like that.
Dan Patrick
There's like all these dudes.
K
I don't know.
Dan Patrick
I. I don't. I don't know if they would have been thrilled that all of a sudden Prince goes, you know, why don't you guys sit down? I'll take it from here.
K
He's shredding.
Dan Patrick
Yes, he is absolutely shredding. Hey. When he played at the super bowl, when he plays Purple Rain and it's raining. Damn, that was awesome. It was. It was one of those where you go, yep, that's happening right there.
K
You know, there's an interesting story, too. I don't know if it was like, Jimmy Jam or somebody, but they would talk about like the. The, like brilliance of Prince.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
K
And they would talk about like, he knew what you could do and you didn't even know it yet. He would be like, no, no. You sing this note or whatever, the guy be like, that's out of my range. And be like, no, no, no. You could do it. You just go do it. And he would put all these people together and doing things that he had, you know, things that they weren't aware they could even do yet. And then it would all work out.
Dan Patrick
Fritzi was having a really good day until David Cohn got his time screwed up, and now we can't connect with Rebecca Lowe.

Dan Patrick
Alrighty, last call for phone calls. What we learn what's in store for Monday on the program. She is Rebecca Lowe, NBC Sports, Premier League host and hosting the Kentucky Derby. It all unfolds tomorrow. NBC Sports will be at Churchill Downs Saturday, 2:30 Eastern on NBC. And Peacock, she also hosts the Premier League live from the very same location with coverage beginning at 2 Eastern right here on Peacock. Oh, look who is part of the scenery. It's Rebecca Low Boy. Describe the pageantry surrounding you, Dan.
Todd
So lovely to talk to you. It's a lot of pink because it's Ladies Day. In honor of remembering breast cancer, pay tribute to them. So we've got a lot of pink. Got a lot of pink hats. We've got very tall hat. Seems to be a theme. I'm not a big hat person, Dan. I don't know if you are, but I love a fascinator. But the hats around here are quite incredible.
Dan Patrick
There's a. There's a horse walking right behind you, by the way. See that?
Todd
It happens here. It does happen a lot. I'm in the paddock.
Dan Patrick
Right in the paddock. There are a lot of horses down there there at church. Churchill Downs. All right, set the scene for tomorrow.
Todd
Okay. So as you said, I'm doing a bit of double duty. So we've got the Premier League in the morning. I'll be here in the morning. We've got three Match Windows finishing with Arsenal taking on Bournemouth. And then we come off there on NBC at around 2:30 Eastern, I think. And I throw pretty much directly to Mike Tico, who then opens the show for the coverage on NBC. They'll have been on all day pretty much though, on USA Network. And Peacock Gill then opened the show on NBC. The big open at 230 Eastern. And I run, I make a run in some direction, not quite sure which direction it is yet to meet up with Dylan Dreyer. We do our first hit and then I have a bunch of hits throughout the day, culminating in the winner's circle with the interview with the winning owner. So can't wait for that. That is always a great, great moment. I get the best seat in the house down to watch the race. I'm like in the pagoda at the winners in the Winner's circle. So it's an absolute dream.
Dan Patrick
And I told this audience those two minutes, there's nothing else that compares to those two minutes when those. The horses are, you know, in, in the gate and all of a sudden, boom, they're off. And how would you describe that feeling?
Todd
I think the only way I can describe it is having seen for the first time I've ever seen the 100 meters race. The men's 100 meters I saw in Paris in 2024, which is only, what, nine seconds? So it's much shorter in that way. But you're also. It's the same build up. You're all waiting, building up to this tiny fraction of time in which so much can happen. So it feels a little bit like that. And then the ending is so interesting, Dan, because when the favorite wins, the whole place erupts. And then the last couple of times I've been here when it's not the favorite or we had rich strike at 80 to 1 a few years ago, it was like you could hear a pin drop. Everybody was furious. So the end is really interesting as well. Depending on who wins. And then it's just seeing the happiness on people's faces, the owners, the connections. It's just one big party.
Dan Patrick
It's amazing what kind of celebrities are going to be there.
Todd
So I've heard that Aaron Rodgers is coming. I think Lamar Jackson, I think he does. He plays in the Baltimore Ravens.
Dan Patrick
Yes, he does.
Todd
Yes. Okay, excellent. Simone Biles. I'm going to be interviewing Simone Biles tomorrow, so I'm so excited about that. Shaboozy. We've got Jack Harlow, the singer who's a big Premier League fan, so excited to talk to him about Premier League before we actually do the interview. So we've got a good, good number of good faces coming down.
Dan Patrick
Taylor Swift, she's showing up.
Todd
You know what? I don't think so. This year there were rumors that Travis Kelce was coming. I was going to interview him. That could have been interesting. But no, I think he's going to the Formula one this weekend. So there's a lot of good things going on, but this is the place to be. Dan Patrick. You know it. I cannot believe you're not here.
Dan Patrick
Okay, I'm going to ask you this. If you could have a Triple Crown winner, you could be an owner of a Triple Crown winner or one. Wow. Or one of the owners of Wrexham.
Todd
Oh, gosh, I have to go Wrexham. I have to go wrex them down because they are going to the Premier League. And that from where they've come to where they're going is just the fairy tale. I used to cover Wrexham when they were in the 50s tier of English football. It's called the Conference, the National League. Fif, by the way. That's how much we love our football in England. 5 tiers of professional football. I used to go there, I used to cover the games. And that was around sort of 2008 kind of time. 2008, 2009. So to see them now, and in my opinion, they'll be in the Premier League within three years for us, that'll be an amazing story, and I can't wait for it, because everybody in Wrexham, just a small town in North Wales, everybody in Wrexham loves what's happening, and I would love to be a part of that. So they've got any shares? Sell them.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but I, you know, I don't think that the reaction when you had, you know, two Hollywood celebrities buying your football team, they're coming in and all of a sudden, you know, the locals probably weren't keen on Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElroy.
Todd
Not at the beginning. Not at the beginning, Dan, because Wrexham, like every English football club, is very steeped in tradition, has ways of doing things. English football has ways of doing things and. Sounds terrible. We don't like outsiders. We don't like outsiders. And as much as we love Americans, sometimes we've had bad experiences in English football with some American owners. So I think there was reticence and there was nervousness that their club. Because as I told you we've talked about before, Dan, football clubs in England are everything to the people in that town, city or even village, really. And Wrexham is no different. So they weren't convinced when they came in. Took them a little time, but now they've realized they're two people who absolutely have the best interests of this club at heart and are taking them on to great things. And now I think they've bought them.
Dan Patrick
She's Rebecca Lowe, NBC Sports, Premier League host and hosting at the Kentucky Derby. You know, if I had a horse in the Derby, you know what I would name it?
Todd
What?
Dan Patrick
What do you think I would name it?
Todd
Harry Kane.
Dan Patrick
Wanker. Oh, no, dad.
Todd
Dad, you know what we got? No, dad. We got two thirds of the way through this interview, and I thought, this is going very calmly. Dan's behaving himself. And then you throw in the only word that you absolutely cannot say on English television. I can't believe you've just done that. I can't believe Her. I can't believe her.
Dan Patrick
I get you every year. I get you every year. Every year I get you.
Todd
At least you don't make me say it.
Dan Patrick
No, no, no. I would never. But if you were working and all of a sudden you went with the favorites and you went. Sovereignty. Wanker. Sandman.
Paulie
Stop it.
Dan Patrick
Stop it.
Todd
Absolutely. Can you imagine? Because it's kind of the sort of thing I feel like might happen over here because you guys think it's just, like, a jokey word, and people have probably heard it on, like, Ted Lasso. Could you imagine that could actually happen?
Dan Patrick
I know.
Todd
There I am, dad, I've had a situation recently where my son wanted to buy a fanny pack. And I just got to tell you, in England, we can't be using such words. You Google it, Dan. Patrick. I don't want to say it again. Okay, so do that after the show.
Dan Patrick
Have fun this weekend.
Todd
Thanks, Dan.
Dan Patrick
Always great to see you. Great to see you. That's the lovely and talented Rebecca Lowe, NBC Sports Premier League host and Kentucky Derby host as well. Can Dylan come in? And we have the pig stick.
K
I think in England, they call it a bum bag because you can't say fanny.
Dan Patrick
I know, I know. Oh, yeah. They don't want you saying fanny. Yeah.
K
You're not allowed to say fan.
Dan Patrick
Okay, Dylan, do you want to help this segment here with the. The pick six so we understand exactly what we're supposed to do with this? Yeah. So little explanation. So pick six. You have to pick two or more props for players, but you can only use the player once, regardless of the prop. So points or rebounds, still only once, and then you go head to head, peer to peer, as they say, with other people with the same size lineup. Well, why don't you pick for us? Oh, you want to pick? Yeah. All right, I'll give you a pick. I'm going to go Steph under 25 and a half points. Okay, so now Steph is off the board for the rest of you guys.
J
And I had my big pick of Jalen Green for the rockets over 15 and a half.
Dan Patrick
Lock it. Okay, I've got Jimmy Butler under 22 and a half points. I have Draymond Green over one and a half steals.
K
I go. Dylan Brooks with the under 12 and a half points.
Dan Patrick
Okay, Marvin, I have Steph Curry. Steph Curry over. No, no, no, no. He's off the board.
J
The board.
Dan Patrick
Just Steph Curry, period. Yeah.
K
Yes.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
K
You can't use the same player twice.
Dan Patrick
Oh. Fred van Vliet, over 15 and a half points. All right.
K

J
No, I was Jalen Green.
