The American west with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6, where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to the American west with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michael Kasson, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi. We dive into the competitive world of streaming. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as cor. There's so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Listen to Good company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The OGs of uncensored motherhood are back and badder than ever. I'm Erica. And I'm Mila, and we're the hosts of the Good Moms Bad Choices podc, brought to you by the Black Effect Podcast Network every Wednesday. Yeah, we're moms, but not your mommy. Historically, men talk too much and women have quietly listened. And all that stops here. If you like witty women, then this is your try. Listen to the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast every Wednesday on the Black Effect podcast network, the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you go to find your podcast, you are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Is it just a coincidence that some of these marquee guys now you can look at Dame Lillard, his age, but Jason Tatum and Tyrese Halliburton around the same age. You can look back at Kevin Durant maybe with his age playing a little bit of a role there as well. But is it just a coincidence there or is there something else to this? I would say this. Anytime a player goes, I got a tender calf. I think we're going to look at them differently than we would. Oh, come on, a calf injury? Because the calf injury has led to some achilles tears here recently. 8773-DP-SHoVE Email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP-SHoVE Poll question for the final hour of the program. Seaton, by the way, if you're watching on Peacock, thank you downloading the app. And the US Senior Open is going on this week. It'll be at the Broadmoor Colorado Springs Great golf course. It'll be live on NBC Golf Channel and streaming on Peacock. All right, Seaton, what do we have for the final hour of this Tuesday program? Well, we had up there the recent series of Achilles tears in the NBA. Is that a coincidence or there's a valid reason? People say there's a valid reason. About 66% of the audience have that a lot of people talking about just overuse. Okay. Just between the training schedule, playing late into the season, if you advance far in the playoffs, those kinds of things. Okay. We also have up there. This one was listener submitted on the Twitter more egregious comeback player of the year snub. Monica Sellis or Demar Hamlin. Wow. Yeah. Monica Sellis lost the ESPY to Michael Jordan. She got stabbed during a changeover at a tennis match. Michael Jordan won the SB Comeback player of the Year because he came back from baseball. DeMar Hamlin came back from death. Yes, he and right now got him a slight lead at about 53% of that vote. But this situation is fluid. Oh, I had to hand out the ESPY to Michael Jordan. We're laughing that he came back from baseball. And Bill Murray even says to Michael Jordan, but she got stabbed and she still didn't win the espy. Oh, my goodness. That's when I knew the voting on the SPS. There's something up here. Alrighty. 877-3-DP Show Operator Tyler sitting by. Paulie has An Achilles tear theory that he would like to share. And then we'll talk to somebody who actually knows all about this. I've been thinking about it all morning. Has anything changed in the past generation, the NBA that would cause this to be more common? And I couldn't think about it. How about this? Could the proliferation of the step back jumper over the past decade plus both in practice and games have caused the rise in calf Achilles injuries? Players now practice the step back, which is going backwards, I would bet putting more direct pressure on your calf and Achilles. And that shot was not common 20 years ago. It's the norm in the past 10, 12 years. And if you look at guys, Kevin Durant, huge step back guy, Halliburton, Lillard, everybody who's been injured are big step back jumper guys. What are your thoughts? I haven't given it any thought until you just brought that up. You know, the wear and tear thing because you know, NBA players have not taken, haven't come close to taking off this kind of time in previous generations. So we can talk about the wear and tear. They don't have more wear and tear on the players who used to play 80, 82 games. Now you can say, is there an extra round of playoff games? Okay, they do have private planes that they're going to. You're not playing like every other night. They have the finite facilities for them. So I don't, I don't know if I do Wear and tear. Oh, they've been playing AAU ball. Okay. You know what they were doing back in the 60s and the 70s, they were playing on blacktop. They weren't getting into gyms. Aau, at least you're playing in a gymnasium. When we were growing up, you played on asphalt. That'll tear you up. So I don't know about the wear and tear. You know, latent to the season, they spread out the NBA, they spin out the playoffs. It'll be like, oh, you're going to play on a Sunday and then play on a Wednesday, plenty of time. But I don't know if it's, if it chooses, I mean I, once again, maybe it's just a coincidence. And we'll talk to Dr. Mark Adducks. He's Harvard educated orthopedic surgeon. He'll join us coming up. Aiden in Utah. Aiden, thanks for holding. What's on your mind? I got a bad connection there, Aiden. By the way, Adam Silver was on the Club 520 podcast with Jeff Teague and had this to say about the NBA expanding. You know, it's interesting. I mean, we had a team in Seattle before. It's such an incredible market. Many of my years at the NBA were spent when we still had a team in Seattle. There's no doubt about the love for basketball there in Vegas. You just mentioned where we have our summer league. I feel like we have a team there. Yeah, because, you know, the, the, the two weeks or so that summer league goes, it literally, like it consumes the whole basketball world. Those games, when we first started playing the summer league there, those games were hardly even on television. Now, sports centers operating out of Las Vegas, studio shows there, they're selling out in the arena. So, like, I feel like we already have a huge presence in Las Vegas. Okay, that's the commissioner. I thought there was momentum. And then he came on the show and it didn't sound like there was momentum or he defused that a little bit. Where he talked about, you know, just got this new deal, you bring in two new franchises. Now you got to cut up the TV pie a little bit here. Do we want Vegas and Seattle? Do we want Mexico City? And I don't know, it just didn't feel as a. Oh, not a foregone conclusion. It feels like Vegas is a foregone conclusion. Yeah, see, and it's tough too, when he's like, I mean, we feel like we already got teams there. Oh, oh, you already have the team. Oh, but not in Seattle. Yeah, but it kind of feels like it's great. But yeah, well, we got them there already. Oh, it's courtesy of Club520 podcast with Jeff T. What do we need to move on there for? All right, all right, all right. Just kidding. All right. Dr. Mark Attuck sees the Harvard educated orthopedic surgeon. He's smarter than you. Former offensive lineman, in fact, won a Super bowl with the team formerly known as the Redskins. Doc, good to talk to you again. We gave you our theory, or at least Paul had a theory of the step back jumper. Would that have anything to do with the proliferation of Achilles tears? And then we'll get to your theory. Well, I mean, the step back is not that much force. Right? I mean, you see, you've seen running backs tear as they go to step back to accelerate forward. But I mean, you also see Achilles tears where guys are going to cut. And so do I think the step back is more force than someone running full speed and going to cut and push off the leg? Nah, I mean, I really don't think so. I don't think it's. It's just because guys are doing more step backs that you're going to see more Achilles stairs. The other thing is, it used to be that you didn't even worry about an Achilles tear in an athlete that wasn't around or beyond 30 years of age. And now you're seeing these 22, 25 year olds get hurt. It really is, it really is crazy. Okay, so what's your theory? So my, my theory is twofold. One, I think that athletes now are a little bigger, a little stronger, a little faster, a little more explosive. The other one is, is that it used to be when you weren't playing sports, you were still active. Do you know what I mean? When you weren't playing your particular sport, you still were running around and you were on your feet all day long. Now, I think that most recreation is sedentary. Whether it's, you know, cable tv, whether it's streaming, whether it's video games. You know, I mean, I just think that people are more sedentary when they're not doing their sport. And so the combination of having bigger, stronger, more explosive athletes combined with some, someone that isn't conditioning their muscles and tendons and all the time is, is having a bad effect. How can it be prevented? I mean, good question. I mean, maybe throwing away smartphones and having people walk around and be active more during the day. I mean, I don't think that's going to happen necessarily, but I mean, there's got to be better training techniques. There's got to be better training techniques to, to strengthen that muscular tenderness and that tendinous bony junction. Because you def. We definitely are seeing more Achilles, but I think we're even seeing more serious quad groin hamstring. I mean, we're seeing more muscle injuries than we used to. It feels like, you know, we've mastered hip replacement. Tommy John feels like we've kind of mastered that. Shoulders are still the jury's out on shoulders. And the Achilles, it feels like it was 12 months. Now it feels like coming back to eight months, nine months. What has changed with that surgery? Well, I mean, they are doing the more minimally invasively, which, which obviously eliminates the problem with wound healing, but it also by, by creating less trauma, I think it allows the body to heal a little bit more naturally. You know, Terrell Suggs, you know, the outside linebacker, pass rush specialist for Baltimore many years ago. I mean, I think he's kind of the record. He returned to sport six months after one of his Achilles. He actually tore both of his Achilles over the course of his career, but he was over 30 when he did that. But I do think it's possible now, or even more likely more common to see guys coming back eight, nine months, which still eats significantly into Tyrese Halliburton season next year. Yeah, and Jason Tatum as well, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, good point. Good point, Fritz. He got hurt playing pickleball. He wasn't wearing his pickleball shoes, and he has. Didn't even know there was such a thing. Yeah, he has plantar fasciitis. Oh, my. All right, so plantar fasciitis, one, you want to stretch. So there's a great yoga stretch called the downward dog, because you want to get that stretched out. Two, get like a Coke bottle, 20 ounce bottle, fill it with water, freeze it solid, and roll that on the sole of your foot to sort of massage and ice the plantar fascia. Three, when you sleep, your toes point. So every morning when you get up, you retear the plantar fascia as it tries to heal overnight. Right. So they have these night splints that hold your feet at 90 degree angles. You can buy them on, you know, online, on Amazon, obviously. So night splints, foot, the massage, ice, massage, the stretch, and then the last thing is you can buy a harder insert, a carbon fiber insert to go into the shoe, which sometimes can help protect your plantar fascia. Any sort of an insert, like a. One of those Spenco gel heel cups can help too. But that's. That's kind of what I recommend. Why didn't my micro fracture surgery work on my knee? It's. It's imperfect. Right. What happens is you poke holes in the bone and the idea was that bone marrow would come out and your stem cells would make new cartilage. That was as good as what was there originally. As it turns out, the cartilage that grows in that gap is more fibrocartilage. It doesn't wear as well, it doesn't protect the bone as well, and so it wears out more quickly and you feel the symptoms again. What role is stem cell going to play in injuries? I mean, it's helpful. It's helpful. Particularly the younger you are, obviously, the more active your stem cells are and the more they're going to. They're going to play a role. I think at some point we're going to need to have gene therapy combined with stem cells so that you have something that is telling the stem cells what to do. In other words, I don't think it's going to fix a knee that needs microfactor. It's not going to fix arthritis unless you intervene way earlier. But I think it's going to be super helpful. And it already is being helpful for muscle injuries and, and, and things that have a better chance to heal. What's the one question you get at a party when you go to, you know, you're going to get this question. You know, it's, it's different. So I had the guy who just injured his plantar fascia playing pickleball and I have the guy that injured his shoulder playing tennis. And I have a guy that was doing jujitsu who injured his hip. I mean, it's incredible the number of guys that are my age that are doing jujitsu for the first time. It sounds like a really bad idea to me. But do they take their shirts off or pants off that they want to show you an injury? Thankfully, no. I'm avoiding, I'm avoiding that. Good to talk to you again, Doc. Thanks for joining us. That's Dr. Mark Addecks. He is a Harvard educated orthopedic surgeon and he was also on DirecTV, the fantasy zone. He was their doctor for nine years and played in the NFL, actually won a Super Bowl. And you start to look at this, and I believe in stem cell. I've mentioned this before, that I went to stem cell. I had, I have an autoimmune and I went to Panama for stem cell. And it's different because they use umbilical cords. They work with mothers during the entire pregnancy and when the baby is born, they take the umbilical cord and then they take stem cells from that. And then I got 50,000 stem cells put into my arm in an IV each day for five days when I went to Panama and it took probably five months before I felt anything. And then I started to feel better because I'd gone through a lot of different things, as you know, we've documented. But I think it's the future. Now, they did shoot stem cells into my shoulder because they thought maybe that would prevent surgery. It did not, but they said you can try it. And, you know, tried. It didn't work. I was there when there was a guy who was being treated for ed. He was. And yes, he was getting stem cells shot into his ed and, and it worked. It worked. His wife confirmed as where, you know, when you're there and you're like, what are you here for? I go, well, you know, I got an autoimmune, but they're going to shoot my shoulder and see If. Blah, blah, blah. I said, what are you here for? And he goes, ed. So was a guy who was from Ohio, Lima, Ohio. And I kept calling him Ed the whole time when I saw him. That's good. That's good. I said, hey, Ed, how are you? And he appreciated that. I go in and get my shoulder. They did four shots into my shoulder. I. I could have cried. I mean, I. I almost cried. It hurt so bad. And I went out. I'm kind of embarrassed that, like, it took me to my knees, and I felt like I'm such a wimp. This guy's getting four shots into his. And I'm. I'm there, and I feel terrible that I'm almost to tears. And then he comes out and I. And I said, how'd it go? And he said. I went, okay. The doctor comes out. I said, man, I'm sorry, doc. It almost brought me to tears. He goes, your. Your injections are more painful than his. I said, no, no. You remember he's got the penis that. He goes, no, what you went through was more painful. He said, we had an offensive lineman. I don't want to give. The team came in the previous week. He said he passed out getting shots into his shoulder. I'm like, I'd never do it again. But stem cell. It worked. It's helped me, you know, good days, bad days. But I do believe in that. But I had to go out of the country because this is umbilical cords, that they're using the stem cell, not your own stem cells. That was the difference. And, you know, I'm glad I did it, so. And if I ever need Ed. Yes, Paul? What if they got you and Ed confused on surgery day and you came back? We did joke about that, because I said when I walked in, I said, I'm the guy taking off his shirt. He's the guy taking off his pants. Ed, how about we take a break there? Alrighty. Yes, Todd? Well, the doctor or the surgeon always does ask, what are you here for? They make sure you point to or verbally say they put an X on you know where you're gonna get your surgery. I always say, if you don't know what I'm here for, we're in trouble. No, the first time I had my knee done, the guy goes, or the nurse goes, here, which knee? And I go, wait a minute. You don't know which knee? They go, you put the X on your knee. Because then if something happens, you put that X on your knee. And I went, oh. But initially, it Sounds like they didn't do their homework at all. I'm not sure what we're doing here today. Help me out. How about we take a break, okay? Because then when you open it up, it's like, oh, crap, ACL or mcl? He didn't tell me. You were supposed to ask him before we put him under. You didn't say which one, and they start smacking you. Hey, hey, wake up. Can you tell us which one it is? Mcl. Oh, it's Ed. Oh, never mind. We're back after this and the Dan Patrick show. Fox sports radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

The Celtics traded Drew Holiday to the Blazers for an Simons and some draft picks there. That's the first of probably a couple of moves for the Boston Celtics, and you're kind of in a tricky spot there without Tatum, a top five player now, how do you reconstruct your roster for at least one year? And then Tatum will come back. It's like the Pacers. What are you going to do? What can you do? You're not going to have Halliburton probably for most of the season, but you don't want to throw away a season. Who can you get to fill that role? Because T.J. mcConnell. Great coming off the bench. You're going to make him a starter. You're going to try to get somebody else. And. And then how long do you have that person for? Because when Halliburton comes back, you hope he comes back and plays the way we saw him in the postseason. The whole modern medicine is fascinating to me with surgeries. I was a sophomore in high school and I played so much basketball and asphalt, and I went to a doctor and he said, look like a dog had been chewing on my knee. And he said if I, if I cut on back, then he said, I'd have to open you up and you're going to be out for a year. And I chose not to because my dad said, can you deal with the pain? And I said, yeah. And then I didn't do anything for 10 years. And then all of a sudden I needed five surgeries and then I had a knee replacement. But if I had done the surgery when I was 14 and sat out a year, missed a season of basketball and baseball, you know, I wasn't willing to do that. In retrospect, you know, that's why when, you know, you have parents talking about their kids, Tommy John surgery, and there's a physical therapist that I, I know, and he said that they come to him, they're having Tommy John surgery before they need Tommy John surgery. He said, there's only so much information you could give parents to tell them you don't. They want to be proactive. They know that you're eventually going to have to have Tommy John. Let's have it now. And make my arm stronger. And he's saying it doesn't work that way. Let's not do invasive surgery on a 13 or 14 year old. But, you know, with modern medicine, there's a lot of things that are going on. The ability to get people back, moving with knee surgeries, even a replacement knee hip replacement, like all of those things. Shoulders are still tricky. Both of mine will never be the same. But I knew that going in. And the stem cell, look, it's not for everybody. I'm not saying it's for everybody. I'm just telling you that I went through hell for over a decade and with an autoimmune that made me feel like I had the flu every single day. There are days I didn't want to do this job anymore, days that I didn't think I could do the job. But we kept trying to find something. I, I did a diet. My wife thought, let's do homeopathic. Like, oh my God. Like, then I knew when we were at the end of the rope, she goes, what about homeopathic? I go, okay, so we go see this guy. I fly to California to see him. And he said, this is what you're going to do. Steamed vegetables every meal, and purified water, room temperature for three months. How's that sound? And I go, I don't know if my wife can make enough meals. So breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I had steamed vegetables and purified water. And all I did was lose 20 pounds. And I. I just. I couldn't do it anymore. But he acted kind of like the wizard of Oz. Like, he wasn't really telling me. I'd be like, when do I get to have, like, a potato or something? And he said, until next time? And then I'd be like, oh, man of God. So then my wife got me a trip to Normandy for Christmas. Thank God, because I told him, I said, look, I'm gonna break this diet. I'm. I'm going to France. And he said, for how long? I said, 10 days. He said, enjoy. I never. I never went back to him. Well, you guys saw what I was eating. Oh, my God. Yeah, Paulie. I remember. We remember the steamed everything era. It may have been the longest three months of our lives. Not so much. You would be walking around and seat would have, like, a bagel, or I would have, like, a brat on a Friday. And you were just throwing daggers at us. I was. I was a miserable person. But I didn't feel any better because he said, you got all these metals in your body, and we're gonna get those out. Your body is an Amber alert. I said, what's that mean? You've got. You've got some metals that are in the. In the purple. They're not supposed to be in the purple. It's an Amber alert. I said, okay. And then I had purified water room temperature and steamed vegetables room temperature. Yes. So we go to dinner, and then I would say, do you have steamed vegetables? They said, yes. Yeah, that'll, you know, with your steak or whatever. I said, no, no. Steamed vegetables. That was it. And I said, can you make my water room temperature? But I tried it. I tried it. Room temperature. Waters where. They're just messing with me now. And purify that for me, do you? Well, we had to get the purify system that we have in the kitchen. I said to the big German, I said, I got to have purified water. And he goes, okay. So, you know, we. We've had that for. Since we moved in. But high maintenance, man, that's a lot of months of high maintenance. I remember that we had Al, who worked in the back. He was our technician. The old man cave. You had to go up the steps. So we were above a bar. You had to go up the steps. Allen would have to spot me. Allen would Stand behind me. I. I couldn't physically climb the steps. Oh, woe is me. Yeah. And so Allan would be behind me in case I fell because I. I could not climb the steps some days. And then once I got here, thank God I had the show, because then I forgot about it for three hours. But, you know. You know, when I hear that people struggle and they're looking for things, you know, I. I empathize with you because there's a lot of doctors out there that you think they know what they're talking about, and they didn't know what they were talking about. And I. I mean, I probably could have gotten, you know, my master's degree. I couldn't have. Could have become a doctor. Probably through the last 10 to 12 years, everything I went through, they like, no, no, no, no. I don't have Lyme disease. Are you sure? I go, I know I don't have Lyme disease. You know. And you're teaching them? Yes. Yeah. I mean, I think it's probably pretty tricky to have to figure that out. Like a situation like yours, like, if you're like doctors, there's a little bit of a needle in the haystack sometimes, I think. So when they're checking down things like Lyme disease and all that, they sort of have to go through that. Right? Yeah. In order to help diagnose you. But they didn't have answers because I said, how did I get this? We don't know. How do I get rid of this? We don't know. Well, if you start there, you're in trouble. That's science, though, right? I guess. Yeah. You know, I mean, that's medicine. I don't know. Trying to figure it out. Yeah. But, you know, I went through a lot, but at least I have an understanding of what it's all about. So people who have autoimmune, you know, there is no quick fix or any of that. It's really trying to find what works for you. And it took me 12 years. And even then, I go to Panama for stem cell. I don't know where I'd be going after this. Although they say, hey, Germany and Turkey are doing really interesting things. I would have taken the first flight. It didn't matter. Stem cell tour. I would have. Whatever they said. I mean, if you do purified, you know, water and steamed vegetables for three months, you're willing to do just about anything. Frequent flyer miles. Thank you. Todd. Yes, Paulie? Why isn't there just one disease out there that secures ice cream and bacon? Just One like a gallbladder. I got it on duck. I got a gallbladder. You know what? Eat more bacon. I make it all better. You know What? I think McDonald's. McDonald's gonna make you feel better. Okay. Better start eating some Quarter Pounders. I don't know what' yes, Marvin. It was always awkward during Meat Fridays. Oh, Marvin, how is it? Oh, it's great. Oh, I'm glad you like it. Yeah, I know. Bleep, bleep, bleep. Whoa. What did I do? I know, I know. And, you know, we started the sponsorship with Traeger, and so for three months, I watched you guys eat food. And then, you know, we even talked about, do we have anything really? Should we have fancy stuff or just. I said, no, go, go. Kill it. You know, kill it. Whatever you need. Go after it. It's like an alcoholic who is certain. You know, a bartender. Like, it's okay. Like, I'll get through this. But that first time when we landed in France to go to Normandy, oh, my God, I was jet lagged. And I said, I don't. I don't give a damn. I couldn't have alcohol for three months. The heck with the steamed vegetables. The hard part was no alcohol, no cigars, no nothing. We landed, I said to my wife, I want a cigar, I want some wine, and I want some great food. Imagine you're in customs, you haven't even gone through yet. Just popping a cork. That'd be great. Yes, Todd. And most airports probably don't have that steamed vegetable section next to, you know, Auntie Ann's pretzels and hot dogs. Well, even when you go on the flight, when I would go on flights, and then, you know, you can kind of sign up for a vegan diet. But they didn't even have really what I needed. I said, no, I need steamed vegetables. Well, this has got like a. A sauce on it. I said, no, I can't have that. You can't have salt and pepper on it either. And I said, could you serve my water at room temperature, man? Not a restaurant or an airplane. That Sports center guy is a diva. Rick in Texas. Good morning, Rick. What's on your mind today? More dp. How you doing? Oh, spectacular, man. I'm just gonna reach out. I'm retired DPS out here in Texas, and I was down in the super bowl, and we were behind the scenes and, you know, just before the show coming up, and I wanted to approach you, but you were definitely in a bind. It was before you had your stem cells and got right and appreciate you true and healthy again. Well, thank you. I didn't know how bad I look. Body language. But I was. I was in bad shape. You know, I'd walk in a room, and you'd be like, what, man? What's wrong? Nothing. I'm good, but my body was in a bad, bad place. But, you know, let's see. I don't know. I don't even know how long this is going to last. They don't even know how long it's going to last. But I said, all right, whatever. Give it a shot. James in California. Hi, James. What's on your mind? Hey, James. Long time, Dan and the Dan love y' all. Listen to you every day. I did not have ED on my EP bingo card today. That's why I called. I'm in. I'm in Med Med device. And my. The surgeon I work with, he will. We do it. We work in spine. It's called a laminectomy. You take bone out of the spine, and it kind of frees up nerve roots. But every time I was in the room, he would. As the patient was going under. Under anesthesia, he'd go, hey, your vasectomy is going to go fine. And the patient was fading into anesthesia. And they go, no. And then they didn't remember when they woke up, but it was always just a running joke. They were getting a laminectomy, but he said, vasectomy. And they're. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah. Nothing like a little medical humor. Todd would always panic right before he was going under. He would say to the doctor, hey, I'm. I'm still awake. Don't cut on me. But they put the mask on you. And I was still kind of awake, and I could hear them talking. I'm just. I was saying, don't start yet. Don't. I'm. I would think it would be bad business if they cut on you and you were still. And you would hope. There's a series of tasks and things that they run to make sure you're out cold. Yeah, I just. To make sure. I was like, I'm not ready. I'm not ready yet. I'm still up. Still up. I'm still awake. And thank you for allowing me to share. Not that you had a choice, but, yeah, it's there. There are a lot of people who suffer, and, you know, after a while, you don't even want to tell anybody. You just, like, there's nothing. People would be. How you feeling? Great. You know, like, I got Tired of saying crappy Ben in Minnesota. Hi, Ben. What's on your mind today? Hey, what's up, DP180. Hey, so I'm listening you talk about the autoimmune bit, and my sister is going through the same thing right now. And I'm not sure if you've ever checked into the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. They have some of the best doctors all under one roof there. You can't go wrong. There were my sisters. Her regular doctor wanted to send her around to multiple that would have taken months and years to get a diagnosis. She goes to the Mayo Clinic, gets everything settled under one roof. Multiple doctors can see at the same time. It's amazing down there. All right, thank you. It's not my autoimmune bit, but thank you, Ben, for your sense of that autoimmune bit again. It kills. It always kills. Every time. I know he had steamed broccoli. Tell them about the purified water. Worth the price of admission every time that bit. Wherever you can find some kind of solace, whatever you find that's going to help you. Great. You know, there's so many great facilities and doctors in the United States. I went to the Steadman Clinic 12 years ago to ask about stem cell. They said, what you need is not available in the end in the United States. So I tried 12 years ago, and that's when I ended up in Panama. You know who told me about it? Jay Glazer. Jay Glaser went through real, real back pain, and he knew what I was going through, and he said, you got to try this. Just try it. And I said, I have nothing to lose. My wife and I, we took, you know, a week off from the show, went down there and, you know, Glazer goes down there frequently, frequently with his wife and loves the place that, you know, he told me about white glove treatment. It was great, but once again, it's for what you need. Your autoimmune could be different than mine. Probably is, and the treatment is different as well. Let's take a break here. Put on my broadcaster hat. Take off my. My scrubs here. Got a little deep here. That's how you win sports Emmys. Todd, we're still waiting, but I take your word for it. I. I thought the steamed water, whatever year was going to be ours when they heard that story. No steamed vegetables. Vegetables. Tepid water year. Yeah. But, you know, probably Dan Orlovsky had something, some medical thing that, you know, he went through, and they NFL Live ended up winning, you know, well, I mean, if we're talking about comeback players, you versus Dan Orlofsky is clearly Dan Orlovsky. He ran out of the back of the end zone. Yeah, you were dealing with a debilitating disease. I'm Monica Sellis. Orlovsky as Michael Jordan. Makes sense to me. How about we take a break? No offense.

We'll get to this day in sports history as well. And a few more phone calls. The recent series of Achilles tears in the NBA, there's a valid reason for that. That's staying at about 66%. And then the most egregious comeback player. Snub. Monica Sellis or Demar Hamlin. Demar Hamlin's got 53% of that vote. People might not remember Monica Sellis, but it was. There was a. What was his name? Gunther. Yeah, Gunther something. Dude jumped out of the stands and stabbed her on the court. But he was a Stephie Groff fan. Oh, then I get it. Yes. And. And I think Monica was playing Steffi or didn't want Monica. Monica might have been number one player in the world. And he. He stabbed Monica Seles in the back. Yes. Paul Gunter Parsh and umlat over the U. Which is a telltale sign. Did he go to prison? Yeah. Okay. Is he still in prison? Checking. Okay. Yes, Todd. Whatever happens, just good old fashioned heckling. If you don't like someone, just can't you just boo. You really gotta start taking out stuff like that. Thank you, Todd. Thank you. The Oklahoma City parade's going on right now. Yeah, they just got rolling on the bus. Okay. All righty. All right. Parade respectably. JJ in Florida. Hi, jj. Dan. Yeah. How are you today, sir? Great. I'd like to like a trash Oklahoma City Thunder for just a bit. I used to be a great fan of the Seattle SuperSonics. Back to the Detliff Shrimp and Ricky Pierce and carry the glove Peyton Sean Kemp times. And when the late Palabar commissioner Stern allowed them to be moved to Oklahoma ruined basketball for me. So I'm really unhappy. And not real thrilled that, as I still call them, the supersonics won the championship. That's for the next NBA team. Goes, all right. Thank you, jj. I don't know. I mean, I hope Seattle's a wonderful place, certainly in June. It's a beautiful place to visit in June. And I thought the crowds were great. And I love those teams. They were fun. I worked sidelines. I was the ESPN radio sideline. So I was doing SportsCenter, but I said, I want to be. I want to be there on the court. I want to be as close as possible. And Fred Carter got to do the Bulls because he was friends with Jordan, and I had become friends with George Carl. So I got to do the Seattle SuperSonics huddle. And you could just listen in, and then they'd go down to you and say, you know, here with the Sonics, Dan Patrick. And I'd say, you know, basically George Carl was saying, two down, which meant, set a pick, let Gary Payton come out and get the ball. That was basically all George was saying. But it was great. I loved it. I loved being that close to it. Alrighty. Bob in Montana. Hi, Bob. What's on your mind? Oh, hey, D.P. i'm beginning to think I'm the patron saint of bad pie. To the face bets. First the Heat go down, then the Sports Emmys people mess things up yet again. And then Halliburton's on pace for 60 points, and then he goes down and the Pacers fall in seven, so. And of course, I doubled down with Marvin, so now I need to check in with him to see what his favorite flavor of booze is. He likes tequila or bourbon or whatever he likes. Because obviously I didn't. I didn't come through on my bed again. Why don't you send some tequila? Some tequila. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I don't know if they make tequila in Montana, but I'll look. Oh, okay. All right. Yeah. I stumbled upon this tequila, and I. I don't have my phone with me, but all of a sudden, I used to buy this tequila. And then I go into the store and the guy goes, yeah, we can't get it anymore. I go, wait, what happened? Said, I don't know. All of a sudden, somebody. It, you know, became this underground thing where people are loving this tequila. Like, oh, damn it. I should have known this. Yes. Todd, did you start yelling at the guy like I did to the girl? I did not. No, I didn't. I just said, okay. All right, thanks. What did I Learn today, Todd? Dr. Mark Addecks thinks if people were more active and engaged in better training techniques, perhaps we'd have less torn Achilles. I know a lot of cops.
