Charles Barkley (3:56)

Okay.

Dan Patrick (3:57)

Let me tell you what. They taught him a great lesson, okay.

Charles Barkley (3:59)

Like, you don't have this figured out.

Dan Patrick (4:02)

Your dad don't have this figured out. Who's they? NFL? The world?

Charles Barkley (4:06)

No.

Dan Patrick (4:06)

Who told you, said they taught him. I'm just curious, like, well, the system.

Charles Barkley (4:09)

The system.

Dan Patrick (4:09)

There's a system out there, man.

Charles Barkley (4:11)

Like you're, you're going for a job interview.

Dan Patrick (4:14)

So first job interview he was so concerned about, oh, what his outfit was.

Charles Barkley (4:18)

His necklace was over a hundred grand.

Dan Patrick (4:20)

He hadn't even convinced people that you're the face of our franchise. Matter of fact, he had convinced people that they were better off going in a different direction, even with people who had lesser talent. That's the rub he put on the people.

Charles Barkley (4:34)

He threw away at least 30 to 50 million dollars.

Dan Patrick (4:39)

So that's Chris Carter Fully Loaded podcast. He's saying what I've been saying, that I just don't think they prepared him for what was going to be asked. And you got to play a game. You have to say what you have to tell them what they want to hear it's a game. You can be the personality you want to be, but not in that moment. You have to go in there, and when they ask you a question, you have to defer to them. You have to be, hey, how can I make your team better? What do you want me to do? Look at some of those reactions that you got on draft night. You had men who were crying, I will do whatever it takes. I will die for you, Coach. Whatever you want me to do. Will Campbell, drafted by the Patriots. That's what you want. That's what you want to hear. Look, even if you're faking it, at. At least, you know, humor me that you do want to come to my team, because how humiliating is that? That you go in there and you're like, all right, let's see what he has. Let's listen. Let's see if we give him a play on the whiteboard. Can he. Can he, you know, diagram that? We're going to ask him about that interception. What happened here? Like, these are just standard. I want to know what his tone is going to be. Is he defensive? Is he a guy who says, hey, give me another play. Like, you can. You can do this. But if you haven't been asked to do this when you're in college, you don't have to placate anybody. Your dad's the coach. You get star treatment. I get it. But this is the NFL, and I don't think people are going, we're going to teach Dion a lesson. What lesson did you teach him? Maybe he should have prepared his son better. Okay, Dion's not coaching his son anymore. So what's the lesson now at Colorado? I don't know. But these are the things that you're hearing. And, you know, there are fire starters. There are people who want to say, oh, you know, they didn't like Kaepernick. No, they didn't like Kaepernick because that was a huge political story. I mean, that took over the country. You had the president involved in this. Granted, you had the president involved in Shador Sanders sliding as well, but it's just different. And I think people trying to, you know, put those two together, they're doing a disservice to both, you know, and. And do you want Kaepernick as a backup? No, you don't. I mean, even Jim Harbaugh, who drafted him, who loved Colin Kaepernick, he never said, you know, think about bringing him in. If I'm coaching in the ni, he could bring him in now. I saw a story where Colin Kaepernick says he's working out, he wants to get another chance. That ain't happening. But with Shador Sanders, I think he went in as Shador Sanders instead of a potential draft pick for a team like, you guys are lucky. I'm going to stop by, I'll spend a little time. I might sign autographs, maybe for your, you know, your son or daughter. And then I got to move on. That's not what you want to hear. And I, I, I. What I found really fascinating is you had draft analyst, you had insiders who had inside information. And I think that they were nervous about sharing that, because that first report that came out, and then the reaction was, oh, well, the coach should put his name by it. Well, we have sources. We don't tell you our sources. But then all of a sudden, it was about the reporter who is publicizing this. You know, that's. That's all. You're just going, why are you doing this to the kid? And it did feel like a smear campaign. I just didn't get enough information about it. And then when you do, then you understand it. And now all of a sudden, everybody's picking on Shador Sanders. I think you had people who could have done their jobs better. Also, the number of revisionists, history experts here, of. Everybody knew he was going to slip. Everybody saw this. Well, no, they didn't. It was there right in front of everybody who covers this. And not everybody went, you know, front and center. And I think that's the disappointing part is we could have seen this happening. Shador could have seen this happening. I don't know if anybody said to him, hey, just like Chris Carter said, you know, this is the NFL. It's cutthroat. I don't think you're gonna go. We won't draft him even if he can help us. You got coaches who's gonna get fired this year, GMs who get fired this year. And now he's in Cleveland, which I think is a great place for him. I do think he'll play there. But I think that was the owner who came in and went above the GM and the coach and said, we're taking him because why would you move up to take him when you already took Dylan Gabriel? Why would you run the risk that you might lose him if, you know, he slips past the third round? I don't know why you pass on him. Why did Tom Brady pass on him seven times? Was somebody telling to Tom Brady, hey, it's a Collusion, you know, don't do that. Was he overruled by Mark Davis? I don't think so. I think Tom saw Shador Sanders and said, nope, Even though you got Geno Smith, who is, what, 35 years of age? So there's, there's a lot of tentacles attached to this. Now it comes down to, can he play? It doesn't matter about any of the other stuff. Now when he gets to camp, let's see if he can play because that, that is the meritocracy that you have with the NFL. All right, a couple of phone calls in here. Ty in Syracuse. Hi, Ty. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan, I called in last year and I said, I know you're advocating for Foreigner, but can we get Paul Rogers in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame? Yes. You agree you were surprised he wasn't in. Now Bad Company and Paul Rogers are.

Charles Barkley (11:15)

In the hall of Fame.

Dan Patrick (11:16)

You're humble, you won't take credit, but you're on a generational run of getting.

Charles Barkley (11:19)

Those overlooked into the hall.

Dan Patrick (11:21)

Dp, let's run it back.

Charles Barkley (11:23)

Tori Hope belongs in the Pro Football hall of Fame. Thanks, bud.

Dan Patrick (11:26)

Love your body of work. Thank you, Ty. Paul Rogers, one of the great frontmen, great singer, and Foreigner, should have been in the Rock Roll hall of Fame. Now I'm getting Mel Kuiper into the Pro Football hall of fame. The NFL find the Falcons, $250,000 and defensive coordinator Jeff Albrecht, $100,000 to for, quote, failing to prevent the disclosure of confidential information distributed to the club in advance of the NFL draft. Yes. Should have been punished. I would have taken away a draft pick here. But the NFL came down hard on the Falcons, 250,000. And for the defensive coordinator, Jeff Ulbricht, $100,000 because his son got access to his Rolodex with all of these players. And I don't know if his son and his buddy in their frat house were doing this with other draft picks, but there were other draft picks who were also pranked as well, aside from Shador Sanders. Mark in California. Hi, Mark. What's on your mind today? TP I got a broadcasting question for you and one other quarterback question in that out of all of your years in broadcasting, the proverbial earworm, Terrell Owens, Brett Favre. Watch now. Aaron Rodgers, on and on. What is the one story that you went into work in the morning, went. For the love of Pete, can we not talk about this anymore? Because Thiebaud and Terrell, if you remember right, those were long sagas. That's one. And then looking at Pittsburgh with Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin, the guy is so balanced. Is he really going to bring in the tantrums of Aaron Rodgers over someone like Cousins? That doesn't make any sense to me coming from him. I don't see the upside being so great that you want to put up with the malarkey that comes along with that. Just appreciate your insights. And by the way, best stick AVO improvisation every day. Thank you, Mark. Thank you for the, the compliment there. The story that wouldn't go away. I think LeBron and Jordan, Pete Rose in the hall of Fame, those, I mean, those still continue. Nobody's bringing up Tim Tebow or Terrell Owens, but, but, you know, Pete and I, I think Pete's going to get on the ballot. I do. I think this commissioner is going to acquiesce to the president and make him eligible to be put on the ballot. Absolutely.

What happens if the Lakers bow out? What did he make of Tyrese Halliburton's dad confronting Giannis on the sidelines? Jay in the Bay joins us. Good morning, Jay. What's on your mind? Hey, fellas. To the lady who asked Doc Rivers how much longer he was hoping to be employed for. I believe the correct answer would be Christmas Eve of 2027. I was interested in what young contender you would like to see on his go to. If he was to go, I personally think that the Rockets would be a really fun fit. And lastly, a little dated of a reference, but your regulars will get it. Eduardo, please call back. America needs three more years of stadia, guy, baby, let's go. Thank you, Jay. That's Jay in the Bay. You know, the Rockets have a young nucleus there, but I don't know if you want to get, you know, what do you have to give up if you're going to make a trade like that. But if I'm Milwaukee, I have. I go to Giannis first and I say, what do you want to do? And then you'll find out because that can help you with your next step. If he says, look, I'm 30, you can build around me, you know, I'm, I'm in it. We're going to win it one more time. You know, let's go. But I don't know about Dame Brooke Lopez. I mean, I gotta look around and go, let's take inventory. Kyle Kuzman. No, Kyle Kuz. He's so goofy. Kyle Kuzman. All right, let me take a break. Charles Barkley will join us.

Hey, my name is Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose. I just had a great conversation with Michelle Obama, to whom much is given, much is expected.

Charles Barkley (17:20)

The guilt comes from am I doing enough me, Michelle Obama, to say that to a therapist? So let's unpack that.

Dan Patrick (17:27)

Former first lady Michelle Obama and someone who knows her best, her big brother.

Charles Barkley (17:32)

Craig, will be hosting a podcast called imo.

Dan Patrick (17:35)

What have been your personal journeys with therapy? We need to be coached throughout our lives. My mom wanted us to be independent children and she would always tell me, stop worrying about your sister.

Charles Barkley (17:50)

Having been the first lady of the entire country and representing the country in the world, I couldn't afford to have that kind of disdain.

Dan Patrick (17:58)

What would you say has been the most hardest recent test of Fear. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Basketball. Coming up tonight, the warriors are getting four at the Rockets and the Timberwolves getting five and a half at the Lakers. He is the star of inside the NBA hall of Famer Charles Barkley back on the program. Chuck, good to see you finish this sentence. If the Lakers lose tonight.

Charles Barkley (18:34)

The Lakers, I told you two months ago, six weeks. The Lakers aren't a good team. They got two really, really good players, but they're not a good team. ESPN just swings on them like they choke like. Like everything. Chase like chicken. But the Lakers are not a good team. They're going to lose either this round or next round, but more likely this round. But they just. They're not very good.

Dan Patrick (18:58)

What do you think the future, like, if you're. Let's say you're Luca and you look around. JJ didn't play anybody off the bench. LeBron's got maybe two more years left. If you're.

Charles Barkley (19:11)

The Lakers are not going to be a contender with the team they have now. Your. Your best player can't be 40 or. I just don't think that's. That's. That makes no sense whatsoever. Yeah, your best player can be 40. I mean, and JJ was wrong the other night to play those guys the entire second half because, number one, it's probably going to affect them tonight. It definitely affected them down the stretch the other night. You know, both of those guys missed layups and they made some mental mistakes with the ball. So, no, this is not the Lakers year. And people think I hate on the Lakers. I told you, that's. The Lakers aren't a good team, but ESPN was just swinging on them like they were damn King Kong. And so.

Dan Patrick (19:58)

But, but if you're Luca, do you want to stay? Do you want to resign? If you're looking around at what you have with the. Austin Reeves, a nice player, but what are you going to build on when LeBron's gone?

Charles Barkley (20:11)

Well, I don't know the answer to that question, first and foremost, but I don't think he can go anywhere. I mean, he's going to be a Laker probably for life from this point going forward.

Dan Patrick (20:21)

Okay, all right. I was, you know, you know, Dan.

Charles Barkley (20:25)

Dan, you know, the clowns at espn, they always make me laugh because.

Dan Patrick (20:30)

Wait, aren't you going to be working there? Like.

Charles Barkley (20:32)

Yeah, but you dare. You know, I'm gonna be a straight shooter. It's interesting how they were discussing Giannis this week, like, should Giannis want to leave? I'm like, I. I clearly don't remember when I played. I don't remember saying, we need to get Charles Barkley some help in Philadelphia or Phoenix or Karl Malone some help in Utah, Patrick Ewing some help in New York. And I remember guys in the media kissing my ass and Carl's ass and Patrick ass, like, well, Yannis should want to leave Milwaukee now because he can't win the championship. I wonder what all the guys were when I played asking me to get some help. I mean, they were kissing. They were like, loving the Lakers, loving the Celtics, loving Michael, loving the Pistons. But I don't remember all these kiss asses back in the day saying, you know, we need to get Charles Barkley some help because he can't win a championship in Philly or Phoenix. But it makes me laugh, like, no, Giannis gotta leave Milwaukee. You know, that already started like, wow, y'all were concerned about us other great players back in our day, but y'all all of a sudden now y'all like, oh, Giannis has got to leave Milwaukee now. His championship window closed. I'm like, man, thanks for helping me.

Dan Patrick (21:51)

Out when I went.

Charles Barkley (21:52)

I went out there with nobody.

Dan Patrick (21:54)

You had a great team in Phoenix.

Charles Barkley (21:57)

We had a really good team in Phoenix.

Dan Patrick (21:58)

You guys should have won the title that year.

Charles Barkley (22:00)

No, Michael was better, Mike was better.

Dan Patrick (22:03)

But you guys had a better team than the Bulls.

Charles Barkley (22:07)

It was a pick them series, but Michael was the greatest ever. And then the next two years, Akeem was better than me when it counted. So, hey, listen, all I wanted, one reason I got out of Philadelphia, I just wanted a chance. I had three chances at it, and we lost to the champs three years in a row. That's all you want, But I don't want to stack my team ever that I. I'm always be against super teams, period.

Dan Patrick (22:33)

All right, I'm watching last night, you guys, after the Pacers game, and Shaq is blaming Giannis for the altercation, the incident with Tyrese Halliburton's dad.

Charles Barkley (22:45)

Yeah, that was. Shaq was 100 wrong and stupid on that subject. I've never. Dad, I've never seen that number one. I want to thank Tyrese for coming out, apologizing, and then I want to thank his dad for coming out and apologizing. Like, I never seen that before in my. I'm over 40 years in the NBA. I've never seen a parent, you know, it was like, AAU crap.

Dan Patrick (23:10)

Yeah. Yeah.

Charles Barkley (23:11)

You know how much I hate aau. It's like these parents, they think they can scream their kid to the NBA. It drives me flat crazy. But they apologize. And let me tell you something. Giannis is one of my favorite players. He became more one of my favorite players last night because ain't no way in the hell I wouldn't have clocked his ass. There ain't no way I wouldn't have clocked him. And I ain't trying to be no fake tough guy on television. There's no way I wouldn't have punched him in the face when he did what he did. There's no way. And like I say, I ain't trying to be no fake tough guy. But in that heat of the moment, and Giannis said it, I didn't know it was his dad. If a regular fan came on the court and did that to me, a 100% would have punched him in the face.

Dan Patrick (24:03)

Should he get the same punishment as if that was just a fan and not Tyrese Halliburton's dad?

Charles Barkley (24:10)

I don't even know what the appropriate punishment is. Like I say, I'm glad they both apologize. I'm not sure what the punishment is, what's fair.

Dan Patrick (24:22)

How about you keep him away from the first playoff game, the next playoff game at home?

Charles Barkley (24:27)

That's fair. That's fair. I don't think he should be executed, but I think, hey, you can't come to the next two. The next two games at home. I think that would be fair.

Dan Patrick (24:36)

Or if he wants to be on the court so badly, he must play five minutes for the Pacers.

Charles Barkley (24:41)

That would be a great. He has to start the game and play the first quarter for his son. That'll be a great punishment.

Dan Patrick (24:52)

Yeah. Yeah. He's got a guard, Donovan Mitchell. I think that's right. For five, five minutes.

Charles Barkley (24:58)

He has to play. You can break it up how you want to. He has to play 20 minutes.

Dan Patrick (25:04)

He's Charles Barkley, the Hall of Famer. Turner Sports Inside the NBA analyst. I know athletes hate it when, you know, people in my position say somebody quit. So I was trying to come up with a better description for what the Miami Heat did the other night against Cleveland. If they didn't quit, what exactly did they do?

Charles Barkley (25:24)

Well, you know, it's interesting. It's three things I don't like doing. One thing I would never do says somebody should get fired. I've made that clear for 25 years. I'll never like. I can say they're not doing a good job, but I would never say somebody should get Fired. That's just like my number one rule. Secondly, I don't like using the word choke or quit because that's. That's damning. But the Miami Heat quit in game four because if you were not embarrassed after game three, you and to come out and play like you did in Game 4. The Miami Heat, they quit. They were ready for Cancun. And it was really unfortunate because I have so much respect for Pat Riley, Alonzo Martin and Eric Spoelstra. And like I say, the Cavs were gonna win the series, but to come out there and quit like that. But, you know, Eric Spozer said that was embarrassing. That was embarrassing for the Heat organization and. But I have faith in Pat Riley, Alonzo Marnigan and Eric Spokes. They're going to fix. They're going to fix it. I mean, they were once Jimmy Butler forced his way out of there. They needed to get the season over with. I hated it ended as badly as did. And it was unfortunate, but they quit.

Dan Patrick (26:44)

Steve Kerr came out and said Draymond Green is the best defender he's ever seen.

Charles Barkley (26:49)

Well, he can say that, but he's supposed to. That's his player. But he's not a better defender than Michael Kobe, Dennis Rodman, he's a terrific defender, but he's not. But he going to just say. He going to say that.

Dan Patrick (27:06)

Yeah, but you got to be also honest when you do it. From the standpoint of he did. He played with Michael, so he. He did see the best defensive player.

Charles Barkley (27:16)

Listen, I think in the moment he got. He got to say the reason Draymond wasn't in the game because Sengun was cooking him. He got him like, you know, Draymond was in foul trouble. Why was he in foul trouble? Was cooking him. So. But listen, Draymond is a heck of a player. He's a really good player. He's a really good defender. But I expect coaches to defend their players. I really do.

Dan Patrick (27:42)

He's not a better defender than Rodman was when Dennis was with the Pistons.

Charles Barkley (27:46)

No, he was not. No, he was not a better defender than Rodman. I can 100 say that. Dennis was amazing, but Pippen, to me.

Dan Patrick (27:55)

Was a better defender than Mike. Scotty could guard everybody.

Charles Barkley (28:03)

Well, he couldn't guard me. They doubled me with Horace Grant. Let's get that out there.

Dan Patrick (28:11)

Okay. All right, that's. That's fair.

Charles Barkley (28:13)

But you know what? I. I will agree. Scott. Scott is a better defender than Draymond. I'll. I'll give him his flowers.

Dan Patrick (28:22)

Who did you love? Seeing on you. Like, I never.

Charles Barkley (28:26)

I never even worried about it then. Nobody. You remember back in the day when they had the Jordan stopper? We used to laugh about that.

Dan Patrick (28:36)

Like, Gerald. Gerald Wilkins.

Charles Barkley (28:38)

Like, are you serious right now? There's no great player. There's no great player who can be stopped. You can make him work hard. Like, you can't stop Giannis, you can't stop Bird, you can't stop Dominique Wilkins. You're not going to stop me. You're not going to stop now. You can make us work hard. But this notion that you're going to stop a great player, that's insane. You're not going to stop a great player, period.

Dan Patrick (29:08)

But there wasn't a guy where you go, because George Gervin, I asked him that question. I said, ice, who was the guy that you couldn't wait to see on the court? And he goes, kevin Grevy. He played for the. The Baltimore Bullets. He said, I loved playing against Kevin Greevey because I knew I was going to score. You didn't have that guy. Where you go, I'm putting up 40.

Charles Barkley (29:33)

Well, you know, I felt like I was going to get double team 95% of the time. I don't think. I never thought that one guy could guard me. It's interesting when people put up still photos of me. A couple people noticed it. They're like, why aren't you looking at the defender? I said, first of all, I'm not even worried about the guy. Guard me, because I'm always looking past the defender. Yeah, if you get a steel photo with me with the ball, I'm never even worried about the guy. Garmin. I'm looking like, where's the double team coming from? Or where I'm going? And I didn't even know this one of my friends. He's a man. I'm looking at these old photos of you when you got the ball. You're not even looking at the guy. I said, dude, I'm not even worried about one guy stopping me. I don't care who it is. I don't care if it's Rodman. I don't care if it's Kevin McHale, who's a great defender. Kevin, the best player I've played against. I'm not. I'm looking like, is there a double team or what angle am I going? I'm never worried about one guy stopping me, period.

Dan Patrick (30:37)

What if Jordan guarded you?

Charles Barkley (30:38)

He's too little. He's too little. He's. Listen, Michael, he can't guard me. In the post. He's too little.

Dan Patrick (30:49)

Did you say that to him?

Charles Barkley (30:51)

I've said it to him a thousand times. Little man late. Hey, little man. Wrong place. I say, little man, you're at the wrong place. At the wrong.

Dan Patrick (31:02)

Wait. He's taller than you.

Charles Barkley (31:04)

He too little, though. Too little.

Dan Patrick (31:07)

He can jump.

Charles Barkley (31:08)

Yeah, he gonna fly. Because I'm gonna hit it. I'm gonna hit him with elbows. Hey, then I'm hitting with elbows and ass.

Dan Patrick (31:17)

What was it like when you guarded him?

Charles Barkley (31:19)

I can't guard him. It was really funny. He actually talked about this one time. We switched out and I get down in my defensive stance and he just started. He did. I switched out and he me. He just started laughing and just said, are you serious right now? And he actually passed the ball. But because he was laughing so hard.

Dan Patrick (31:47)

Golden State didn't double you when you scored 56.

Charles Barkley (31:51)

And you know what's really funny about that? I had, I think, 24, 26 the first quarter. So I, I, I, I'm running by the bench and I said, nelly, you better double me. He says, nope, after I get like the first ten, the first quarter, I said, nelly, are you gonna double me? He said, not all night. I'm not gonna double you. So I got like 24 the first quarter. Basically. I think I had 28 the first half. And I'm screaming at Nelly, nelly, you better double me. And he's screaming at me, not a chance. I'm going to w. I just. Byron Houston's too little. Chris Gatlin too little. It's so funny. Cadelle was amazing. And I'm screaming at him, are you gonna double me? He's like, I'm not gonna double you all night. And that's actually a true story.

Dan Patrick (32:46)

That was your high 56.

Charles Barkley (32:48)

Yes. In. In a. In, In a. In a. I think that was the game we. Because I was already mad because Nike made a commercial with me. Well, Chris Weber dunking on me. And so we did he bring the.

Dan Patrick (33:07)

Ball around his back and then went in and dunked. Yeah.

Charles Barkley (33:12)

My mind said to me, I said, chris is not a great free throw shooter. I'm going to foul him. So I reached for the ball to foul him and he took it. I was going to take a foul.

Dan Patrick (33:23)

And he.

Charles Barkley (33:23)

And he took it behind his back and dunked on me. It was a three point play. So Nike calls me and said, hey, can we use this in a commercial? I said, of course. I'm not upset about it. I got. Everybody's been dunked on. So then when they, when the commercial come out and Chris says, well, I don't care what anybody say. You're my role model. He's laughing in a barbershop. I says, oh, I gotta make him pay for that. I gotta make him pay for that.

Dan Patrick (33:52)

A side topic. What is Bill Belichick doing?

Charles Barkley (33:59)

Well, this is a very slippery subject for me because Bill's one of my really good friends. I don't. I'm not sure what's going on. You know, he's been a great friend for me for a long time. We've been. For instance, he coached for the Browns. I think he got to be very careful right now. This is starting to be on a very slippery slope. He's the greatest football coach ever for him. And Nick Saban for college. Nick Saban for Bill, the NFL. Yeah, I, I. From what I'm hearing, it's starting to be a very slippery slope. And I never talk about people's personal relationship. That's. That's another rule I got. But I will admit I'm a little concerned with some of the stuff that's going on, and I might actually reach out to him and make sure everything's good. But I am concerned, from what I'm hearing, because, yeah, it's not a look. It's not a good look right now. I'll admit that.

Dan Patrick (35:00)

And he's such a control freak, but he's relinquished control. It feels like. That's what's surprising to me.

Charles Barkley (35:07)

Yeah, listen, man, I have very strict rules on things about. Don't ask me no personal questions. Nobody in my family can speak. No, I'm the one who's famous. I'm the one who have to deal with all the crap. No, don't, don't. Don't say anything, because if you say something, it's just gonna muddy the water. That's what I call it. If any family members speak out, it's just gonna muddy the water. It's. And, yeah, I'm a little concerned, I'll admit that, because. Because, you know, he's my friend through good, bad, and whatever, and I just hope he. I hope everything's all right.

Dan Patrick (35:45)

Whenever I see you doing those Capital One commercials, you got Spike Lee, it dawned on me the last time. Could Spike ever play basketball?

Charles Barkley (35:57)

No.

Dan Patrick (35:58)

Okay.

Charles Barkley (35:58)

No. Let me tell you something. The. There's two people who I work with are the best at what they do. There's a guy named Joe Pitka who's one of the greatest directors of all time. The second one is Sam Jackson. They are the Two best I've ever worked with when it comes to making commercials because they know what works. Like sometimes both of those guys, we're shooting a commercial, they're like, now, that sucks. We're not gonna do it like that. Joe Picker and Sam Jackson, they're like, no. And Sam was like, who wrote this crap? Who wrote this crap? And he says, that doesn't work. It doesn't make any sense. Let's do it like this. But those are the two best I've ever worked with as far as knowing what works on camera. Joe Pick and Samuel L. Jackson, they are the best. But Spike, Spike. Spike has 0 athletic ability. 0.

Dan Patrick (36:53)

All right, just wanted to know. No.

Charles Barkley (36:56)

0 athletic ability.

Dan Patrick (36:58)

Are you golfing today?

Charles Barkley (37:00)

No, we got. It's kind of hard because, you know, we worked at 2 in the morning and I have to get up early to play because, you know, we got to be back in the studio by 6:00 tonight. So I'll start playing next week, to be honest with you, because once we get teams eliminated, we have a lot. We work every night, but sometimes we have like one game. But right now we still have two games going to two in the morning. So I'm not golfing right now.

Dan Patrick (37:30)

Shaq had to go to the bathroom the other night.

Charles Barkley (37:33)

No, man. That was hilarious, wasn't it? But you know what? You know what's so funny? Dan, he not even my age yet. You know, like back probably five to seven years ago, if I had to go to the bathroom, like, if I was watching something on television, I could hold it. And like, once I got like, 55, you can't. And he's. He's getting that age now. Be like, yeah, if you try to hold it, it's gonna come out on his own. Yeah, that. So I told him, I said, welcome to old time age, brother. You can't.

Dan Patrick (38:04)

You.

Charles Barkley (38:04)

When you gotta go, you gotta go. It's that simple.

Dan Patrick (38:07)

We gotta go. Great to talk to you again. Thank you, Chuck.

Charles Barkley (38:10)

All right, brother. Thanks for having me. You take care of yourself, brother.

Dan Patrick (38:13)

Charles Barkley. We'll take a break. 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 app. Hey, my name is Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of On Purpose. I just had a great conversation with Michelle Obama, to whom much is given, much is expected.

Charles Barkley (38:35)

The guilt comes from. Am I doing enough me, Michelle Obama, to say that to a therapist? So let's Unpack that.

Dan Patrick (38:42)

Former first lady Michelle Obama and someone who knows her best, her big brother.

Charles Barkley (38:47)

Craig will be hosting a podcast called imo.

Dan Patrick (38:50)

What have been your personal journeys with therapy? We need to be coached throughout our lives. My mom wanted us to be independent children and she would always tell me, stop worrying about your sister.

Charles Barkley (39:05)

Having been the first lady of the entire country and representing the country and the world, I could, couldn't afford to have that kind of disdain.

Dan Patrick (39:13)

What would you say has been the most hardest recent test of fear? Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And the guests were great today. Barkley's always great. Ross Tucker and Luke de Kock, the columnist from the Raleigh News and Observer. He was on fire. That was good stuff today. Good job. Fritzi, considering how you started out the show, I think you ended up maybe in a positive area rally. We rally, right? Yeah, you rallied is what you did. Congratulations. Thank you. Let me see. How about Ed in Chicago? Hi, Ed. What's on your mind today? Yes, thank you for getting to me. So with all due respect, as a longtime listener, fourth time caller six two, 235. I'd like to. I'd like to rebrand today's show Todd Fritz and the Fritz sets. Because, yes, he may have had the Doc Rivers nailing it off, you know, before the show started, but he redeemed himself. He gave it back with Dr. Phil. But what we really need to hear of to have the definitive thing about what happened with Giannis and the dad last night is what did Marge Simpson think? That's a very unfortunate situation. But you can't have your dad coming out there and getting in the Greek freaks face. I agree with Charles. You gotta punch that guy in the face. Thank you, Barge. Thanks. I agree with Charles. You have to punch that guy in the face. Manny. Manny in Oceanside. Hi, Manny. Dan. Boys. How you doing? Great. Sneaky 205. Hey, long time. Second time real quick. I called back in 04 when you were in the house studio and I got to pre screening and Paulie hung up on me. I wanted to talk Tiki Barber as a budding great running back and he didn't want to hear it. But anyway, I digress. Hey, I wanted to say, what if Bill Belichick's girlfriend is playing everybody, playing the media. What if she's staging all this wild corny acts. Let's take these corny pictures, these over the top moves. What if it's just to stay Relevant. Wait, she's. She's trying to stay relevant. Well, just keep Billy relevant. Well, as long as he's coaching, he'll be relevant. He'll be irrelevant if he loses. But I. I don't know if Bill taking pictures at the beach is really what he had in mind to stay relevant, but. Thank you, man. Thank you, man. Yeah. Paulie Belichick joining UNC was one of the biggest and is one of the biggest stories of the college football season upcoming as a standalone. Yeah, he doesn't need to do anything to be relevant. I. I wouldn't do these things to be relevant if I was Belichick. If he wins, he'll be relevant. This day in sports history. Paul. 1939. Lou Gehrig played his last game of the New York Yankees. Today. Today. Today, he played 21, 30 consecutive games. The Milwaukee Bucks, 1971, swept the Baltimore Bullets in the championship series. Remember this one? 1993 tennis player, number one in the world, Monica Seles, stabbed in the back by Gunter Porsche. He ran out of the court during the match and stabbed her in the back. She was off the circuit for almost six months. And in 2002, a rod became the second youngest major league player to reach 250 home runs. He was 26 years old. Okay. On this date, the Niners selected Brock Purdy, final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. All right, I'll join you. Seaton, that guy saved jobs. Yeah. Yes, he did. Yes, he did. I just know that Seaton was on Brocktober before anybody in the national media was. Heck, yeah. He came back, he goes, hey, my guy at Iowa State, Brock Purdy. Brocktober. Killing them, Killing him. The problem. We went into November, and then I don't think it went well after that. I was positive he was winning it. But wait, he was like a freshman or sophomore. I was like, this kid's winning the Heisman. You did tell you that? Yeah. This kid is unreal. The numerous Heismans, maybe might be two times. Todd, what did you learn today? Charles Barkley wants to know why no one ever said he, Carl Malone and Patrick Ewing needed more help to win an NBA title. Seaton. Luke De Kock is the guy. He was great today. He was a lot of fun. Marvin Barkley is friends with Bill Belichick. Yeah. Who knew? Paul, what did you learn today? Mr. Halliburton? Play ball. God, what did I learn today? Ross Tucker feels Travis Hunter could become the Steph Curry of football. Other five star recruits will want to play both sides of the ball. No, it. It's Shohei Otani is the comp that you want, not Steph Curry. Steph Curry changed the NBA. That's different. Most cars. Most cars on the road could use a little tlc.
