Hour 3 - Hall of Very Good, Rich Eisen

Summary

The Dan Patrick Show: Hour 3 - Hall of Very Good with Rich Eisen (Released July 23, 2025)

Hosted by iHeartPodcasts and the Dan Patrick Podcast Network, this episode of "The Dan Patrick Show" features Dan Patrick engaging in an insightful discussion with sports commentator Rich Eisen. The primary focus revolves around the concept of the "Hall of Very Good," evaluating athletes who have performed exceptionally yet fall just short of conventional Hall of Fame induction. The episode is enriched with personal anecdotes, sports analysis, and a lighthearted segment mocking a playful feud between the hosts.

---

1. Personal Anecdotes: Rich Eisen’s Bike Adventure ([05:11] - [06:15])

The episode begins with Rich Eisen recounting his ill-fated bike trip from Atlanta to New Orleans. Despite his enthusiasm and preparation, including biking shorts and a helmet, chronic knee pain hampered his journey. His wife’s concerns about his lack of training were prescient, leading to the trip's premature end in New Orleans. Eisen humorously contrasts his six-day struggle with Jimmy Graham's recent 584-mile, record-breaking Arctic rowing expedition.

Notable Quote:

Rich Eisen [05:25]: "He had some help there. They eventually caught him."

2. Exploring the "Hall of Very Good" ([07:00] - [14:00])

Dan Patrick and Rich Eisen delve into the "Hall of Very Good," a tongue-in-cheek platform recognizing athletes who exhibited stellar performances but lack the accolades typically required for the Hall of Fame. The conversation centers on several NFL players:

• Philip Rivers ([09:34] - [10:25]): Rivers is lauded for his impressive statistics—eight-time Pro Bowler with numerous yards and touchdowns. However, his absence of Super Bowl appearances and limited postseason success places him in the "Hall of Very Good."

  Dan Patrick [09:34]: "He has zero Super Bowl appearances, tons of yards, I think eight-time Pro Bowler, lots of touchdowns."

• Jimmy Graham ([10:41] - [12:40]): Graham's career, especially his first eight seasons with six Pro Bowls and multiple seasons with over 80 catches and 10 touchdowns, earns him a spot in the "Hall of Very Good." Despite finishing his career without the same level of impact, his earlier achievements are notable.

  Rich Eisen [12:10]: "He had 36 career interceptions. He had a really, really nice relevant run with the Chiefs about four years ago."

• Tyron Matthew and Honey Badger ([10:53] - [12:35]): Matthew's consistent performance with four Pro Bowls and three-time first-team All-Pro honors solidify his place. Honey Badger, despite impressive stats, doesn't quite meet the Hall of Fame criteria due to limited standout moments.

  Paul Pabst [10:25]: "He went to four Pro Bowls and three-time first team All Pro. Okay, that's a big chip in your favor."

The discussion also touches on comparisons with other quarterbacks like Matt Ryan and Cam Newton, evaluating their Hall of Fame prospects based on similar criteria.

Notable Quote:

Dan Patrick [09:34]: "He has zero Super Bowl appearances, tons of yards, I think eight-time Pro Bowler, lots of touchdowns."

3. The "Family Feud" Playful Feud Segment ([14:00] - [39:31])

A humorous and theatrical segment unfolds where Rich Eisen accuses Dan Patrick of cheating during a Celebrity Family Feud episode. This mock feud involves playful banter, exaggerated accusations, and lighthearted jabs, highlighting the camaraderie and chemistry between the hosts.

• Accusations and Defenses ([27:50] - [33:04]): Eisen accuses Patrick of cheating, citing specific moments from the game, while Patrick defends himself by explaining the circumstances and intentions behind their gameplay.

  Rich Eisen [27:50]: "It's hurting the kids because they think maybe they got that through nefarious means."

  Paul Pabst [28:20]: "I have given everybody here a bit of a tongue lashing, knowing that I was about to take the slings and arrows for faulty information."

• Personal Interactions ([34:35] - [39:31]): The segment continues with personal anecdotes, including references to mutual friends, past events, and humorous exchanges about hypothetical scenarios, such as swapping show teams and guest appearances.

  Rich Eisen [37:26]: "Why would you even ask that question before?"

  Paul Pabst [38:34]: "This is where you say, of course, no. You don't do that."

This segment serves to entertain listeners with the hosts' chemistry and provides a break from the more analytical discussions.

---

4. Sports Updates and Trivia ([40:00] - [55:54])

The latter part of the episode includes brief segments on current sports events, player statistics, and historical moments. Highlights include:

• Stat of the Day ([46:45] - [48:38]): Coverage of notable achievements, such as Shohei Ohtani's first four consecutive games with home runs and Cal Raleigh’s impressive home run tally.

  Rich Eisen [47:48]: "Cal Raleigh now has the second most home runs before August 1st of any player in Mariners franchise history."

• Sports History Trivia ([49:10] - [51:10]): Discussion on memorable sports milestones, including Tiger Woods' Grand Slam and Lance Armstrong's Tour de France victories.

  Rich Eisen [49:40]: "Tiger in 2000 won the US Open by 15. He won the British Open by eight. He was 24 years of age, the youngest to ever win all four of the majors."

• Listener Calls and Suggestions ([49:19] - [53:31]): Interaction with listeners offering movie sequel suggestions and debating hypothetical matchups between players like Justin Jefferson versus Miles Garrett.

  Zach [52:37]: "I think that would be great as a promotion for him, too."

---

5. Concluding Remarks and Promotions ([55:54] - End)

The episode wraps up with final sports updates, promotions for upcoming shows, and reminders to listeners to tune into various podcasts and segments offered by iHeartPodcasts.

Notable Quote:

Rich Eisen [55:54]: "We talked to the Sandman, we smoothed over a family feud with Rich Eisen, and hopefully we entertained a nation. If not, we'll try again tomorrow."

The official trading cards of this program. 184 riders face 21 stages of brutal climbs, unmatched speed. It's the Tour de France. Tour de France as they have the final sprint through Paris live July 5th through the 27th on Peacock. I did my bike trip many, many years ago. I was in Atlanta working at CNN and I was beginning my relationship with my now wife and she suggested that we should take a bike trip from Atlanta to New Orleans. That's 500 miles, give or take a mile or two. And when you're in love, you agree to things, you say things, you do things. So I said, sure. She goes, you'll be Spanish moss. It'll be scenic. You'll go through these small towns. It'll be romantic. And I go, yes, I'm all in, hun. So we get bikes. I get biking shorts. It's never a good look.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, you can stop there.

[Rich Eisen]

It's never, never a good look. A guy with biking shorts. I got, I got my shoes. Got my shoes. Gotta lock in on the Pedals, you mean? It's always a great look.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Rich Eisen]

Had a helmet, had my water bottle. I had it all. I was ready to go. She goes, you're not training. I go, don't need to. I'm an athlete. Well, I didn't factor in that. I've had chronic knee pain most of my life. And that became problematic while we're pedaling through these small towns. And we finally got to New Orleans, and I said, pack up the bike. I will not get on that bike again. And we took the train back, and she packed up the bikes, took them apart. And I have not been on that bike since. I still have it. It's hanging in my garage just as a reminder. But I have great respect for those riders with the Tour de France. Yes, Paul, you know, those new electric.

[Dan Patrick]

Bikes, I don't know anything about them, but that seems perfect for a situation like this.

[Rich Eisen]

It would have been, but my wife would have said no to that. But you can get the hybrid that it. You can pedal. But then if you want to have, you know, little extra help, that there are bikes that do that. But I think there was a competitive biker cyclist. Maybe it was a Tour de France, or maybe it was just a. A race where they put a motor. They had a. Like, motorized bikes. So he had some help there. They eventually caught him. But, you know, when. When Lance was dominating the Tour de France, like we cared. But then, I don't know how much people care now. It's like the America's Cup. Do you know what happened the last America's Cup? Does anybody have any idea? It's when we lost the America's Cup. Damn it. Now this means something. We want it back. And you know, when Lance was dominating the Tour de France, it was a big deal. That's our guy, and he's winning the Tour de France. Take that, Paris, France. And now I don't know if people have somebody, they lock in and go, I can't wait to watch that guy. Although I should be promoting it a little better than that since you can watch it on Peacock. That is our streaming partner. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, by the way, the hall of Very good, we talk about this. We've spent a couple of days on this previous weeks. And Paulie said, I've got a hall of Very good. And this based off Tyron Matthew. Honey Badger announced his retirement yesterday. Philip Rivers is finally announcing his retirement. He'd been gone five years. That sound about right, that he finally got around to retiring? I saw where Jimmy Graham did some Antarctic canoe riders. Yes, Todd.

[Dan Patrick]

And we just got word a few minutes ago.

[Paul Pabst]

Jimmy Graham's going to join us on Friday.

[Dan Patrick]

The five time Pro Bowler.

[Rich Eisen]

Okay, but what, what excursion was he on? He did something in the North Pole or Antarctica and, you know, something that hadn't been done by anybody but Jimmy Graham. Is he in the hall of Very Good? Can we find out what that was, Todd?

[Paul Pabst]

I'm looking at that right now.

[Rich Eisen]

Okay, thank you. And then so Paulie put in Philip Rivers, Jimmy Graham, Tyron Matthew. The hall of Very Good. Should Philip Rivers be in this? Feels like he's borderline hall of Famer. Is. Is Honey Badger. Yes, Todd.

[Dan Patrick]

On Jimmy Graham Arctic Challenge.

[Paul Pabst]

He just finished that recently. A 584 mile rowing expedition across the Arctic Ocean. 584 mile rowing expedition. He and his three crewmates finished the journey in just over 10 days, breaking the previous record for the fastest polar ocean crossing.

[Rich Eisen]

Okay, that's pretty awesome. Okay, is that more awesome or me taking six days to go 500 miles from Atlanta to New Orleans?

[Dan Patrick]

That's a push. That's a push.

[Rich Eisen]

Oh, God. Love. Yes, Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

The hall are very good. It feels like Phillip Rivers is already in the hall of Fame. He just hasn't gotten in yet. But he has zero super bowl appearances, tons of yards, I think eight time Pro Bowler, lots of touchdowns. He's got all the stats. But you don't have a Super bowl appearance. It doesn't seem to be hurting his case.

[Rich Eisen]

He doesn't have a good postseason record either.

[Dan Patrick]

No, a bunch of wins, but they didn't advance deep. Yeah, but it feels like when you bring his name up, of course he's going to the hall of Fame because he's got a zillion yards and a zillion touchdowns.

[Rich Eisen]

Okay, but then why are we wondering about Matt Ryan going into the hall of Fame? Like Matt Ryan got to a Super bowl and won an MVP and has all the stats, but I don't know, feel like Matt Ryan rubber, you know, we're going to stamp that and say, yep, hall of Famer doesn't feel like that. Yes, Marvin.

[Paul Pabst]

I think for Philip Rivers it was maybe a 10 year stretch where you considered him to be among the elite quarterbacks. I'm not sure if it was that long for Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan may have had a bigger, you know, a higher peak, but not a longer stretch of greatness.

[Rich Eisen]

All right, what about Honey Badger? How many now back when they were Pro Bowls and they meant something. How many All Pros now? He was up for the Heisman. He was a Heisman finalist as a defensive back. Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Paul tyron. Matthew played 12 years. He just retired. His best years were in Arizona and Kansas City. He went to four Pro Bowls and three time first team all Pro. Okay, that's a, that's a big chip in your favor.

[Rich Eisen]

Yeah. Is Honey Badger a Hall of Famer?

[Dan Patrick]

Man, that's a long pause.

[Rich Eisen]

I'm going to say no. Does he have sacks and interceptions to go along with that?

[Dan Patrick]

He had 36 career interceptions. He had a really, really nice relevant run with the Chiefs about four years ago and the past couple years he started in New Orleans. He just has not made the Pro Bowl.

[Rich Eisen]

But if Rodney Harrison isn't in the hall of Fame and he's a better player, you know, Rodney's one of two players in the history of the sport with at least 30 interceptions and at least 30 sacks. I think Ray Lewis is the other one. If Rodney's not in, then I would say Honey Badger is not a Hall of Famer. But I think Philip Rivers gets in. I don't know about Jimmy Graham. Like, I haven't even thought about Jimmy Graham. Hall of Famer. He had, he had a stretch there, like about a four year stretch where it was like he was unstoppable. Yeah, Paul. Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Jimmy Graham played 13 years, but in his first eight seasons, six Pro Bowls, one first team All Pro and a bunch of seasons with 80 plus catches, 10 plus touchdowns. His first eight years he's on his way to the hall of Fame. Then he cooled off with Green Bay in Chicago.

[Rich Eisen]

Okay. Does he have a thousand receptions?

[Dan Patrick]

He has 719.

[Rich Eisen]

Does he have 100 touchdowns, 89 touchdowns?

[Dan Patrick]

He might be hovg first ballot.

[Rich Eisen]

Yeah. Yeah. Might be. Is. Is Cam Newton. H O V G. Marvin.

[Paul Pabst]

I think if you have an MVP award, I think you're automatically in the hovg.

[Rich Eisen]

Okay. He. Oh boy. Had a lot of rushing touchdowns.

[Paul Pabst]

His influences.

[Rich Eisen]

Yeah, I think we're making the case for. I mean there, there clearly needs to be an hog to go with HOVG because there's a lot of hall of Gooders being mentioned right now with the hall of Eric Gooders. Wow. Okay. All right.

[Dan Patrick]

Name some names.

[Rich Eisen]

So. So hall of Fame, hall of Fame. Yeah, we got a bunch of one good seasoners out here. Being, you know, hall of Very Good is just one step below the hall of Fame. Yeah, yeah. But Philip Rivers would be in the hall of Very Good. Heck yeah. Philip Rivers is in the hall of Very Good. He should be in the hall of Fame Honey badgers in the hall of Very good. Jimmy Graham hall of Very good. Okay. Jimmy Graham's best moment was a contract holdout. Oh, wow.

[Dan Patrick]

Face on Friday. Most famous for that one.

[Rich Eisen]

Contract holdout. Oh, I know. I want to be paid as a wide receiver. I want to be paid as a wide receiver, not a tight end. Jesse in Cincinnati. Hey, Jesse. Speaking of holdouts. Hi, Jeff.

[Dan Patrick]

How you doing, Danny?

[Rich Eisen]

Good, sir.

[Paul Pabst]

Hey, Danny, good timing, man.

[Rich Eisen]

I'm. I'm southbound on 71 going through Mason right now, so I got a shout.

[Dan Patrick]

Out to Jenny Batchie real quick.

[Rich Eisen]

Yeah, did. Did they have the statue of me up yet in Mason, Ohio?

[Paul Pabst]

No, I'm looking for it, though, Danny.

[Dan Patrick]

And.

[Rich Eisen]

And, hey, man, a huge shout out to you for entertaining the nation all these years, my man. I know.

[Dan Patrick]

Like, seriously, man, you're.

[Rich Eisen]

You're a legend, dude. Like Mount Rushmore stuff.

[Dan Patrick]

So I can speak for all the listeners and say thank you.

[Rich Eisen]

All right, well, thank you, Jesse. Safe travels there. Yeah, I don't think the statue is going to happen. Maybe just one of those road signs home of. That'd be nice. Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Paulie, I hesitate to bring this up, but since the caller just did. If we someday decided the Mount Rushmore of sports radio hosts, and we have only four spots, it's a discussion we.

[Rich Eisen]

Have to have at some point.

[Dan Patrick]

Maybe we'll save it for two years from now.

[Rich Eisen]

Okay. I thought you were going to do the ESPN Mount Rushmore.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, no, the sports radio host.

[Rich Eisen]

Okay. Yeah, I would have some thoughts on that.

[Dan Patrick]

Two years and three months.

[Rich Eisen]

Yeah. Fresh in Milwaukee. Hi, Fresh. Welcome back. What do you have for me? What's up?

[Dan Patrick]

DP and Dan got two questions, maybe poll questions. Watching Venus Williams last night, I thought.

[Paul Pabst]

Of what is the toughest individual sport to play and what is the toughest position in team sports. To play.

[Rich Eisen]

The toughest position in team sports. Thank you. Fresh. By the way, Venus won her match. What is she, 45 years of age? She looked great. She didn't look any different than she did, you know, 15 years ago. And she, I think, talked a little bit about the possibility of Serena coming out of retirement to play again. And I don't know if she was joking about it, but Venus, at age 45, what is the toughest position to play? Well, I would say quarterback because of everything that's attached to it, like the importance of it, because it's different of saying what's the most important position and what's the toughest position. I'd say catcher in baseball. I'd put up there as that grind. Yes, Todd.

[Paul Pabst]

What about the offensive lineman that has to protect the quarterback's blindside, getting in that position and the banging on every single play, that's got to be up there to me.

[Rich Eisen]

All right, Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

I would go center in football because you're not just brute strength. There's a lot of complexities of calling the blocking, getting the ball back to the quarterback, and then now it's the shotgun. You have to get the ball back perfectly every time. There's no room for error.

[Rich Eisen]

Yeah. And we only know your name when you, you know, mess up a snap or you get called for holding. Jennifer in Colorado. Hi, Jennifer. What's on your mind today? Yeah, hello. Long time. Second time. I just wanted to.

[Dan Patrick]

I know it was in the first hour, but talking about the underestimating how.

[Rich Eisen]

Much Caitlin Clark has bought, brought the fans to WNBA and perfect examples. My sister, I'm the one who is like, watched you on all the way back on Sports center, no love obsessed about sports. I have a sister who's a complete opposite. As an example, when the Broncos a million years ago were in Greeley for training camp, she called me and said, my friends told me you'd be excited because I saw that guy who passes the ball and I was like, you mean John Elway? This is my sister. So, yeah, she's obsessed with Caitlin. She watches wnba. She started watching her in college.

[Paul Pabst]

She calls me to ask me how.

[Rich Eisen]

Things work, what the different stats are. So, yeah, if you could get someone like her to be paying this much attention to something, it's pretty amazing. Yeah. And thanks for the phone call, Jennifer. Caitlin Clark. There's better players than Caitlin Clark, I mean, down through history, but there's nobody who's played like her. That's the difference. There are better players than Steph Curry, but nobody has played this way. And therefore, when you see somebody doing something like this, you know you're getting eyeballs because once again, we haven't seen this. We never saw anybody shoot as deep as Steph Curry and then shoot as well as Steph Curry, and then Caitlin Clark was doing that as well. And therefore, it was something unique. Once again, Diana Taurasi is a better basketball player. But I don't know how many new eyeballs the WNBA was going to get because of Diana Taurasi. Brianna Stewart, one of the most decorated players in all of basketball, basketball history, go down through Cheryl Swoops and, you know, Cynthia Cooper, and I mean, there's so many great, great players. How many were doing something that was different. And I think that's why what she's done to the wnba, what she means to the wnba. You have expansion because of Caitlin Clark. In my opinion. You know, they're going to spend $250 million and they're going to expand. This is like when Wayne Gretzky came to the LA Kings. You had teams or you had cities in, in Sunshine State, you know, Arizona, Florida. They wanted to have a hockey team. It's because of Wayne Gretzky. And I think Caitlin Clark can mean that same or have that same impact on the wnba. We'll take a break. We will finally settle this. I thought we settled this in Atlanta. Celebrity Family Feud but apparently the feud continued after Celebrity Family Feud. Rich Eisen will join us next. Thanks for listening to the Dan Patrick show podcast.

Hamilton pauses and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption.

[Rich Eisen]

My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said.

[Dan Patrick]

It would have been harder to fake.

[Rich Eisen]

It than to do it.

[Dan Patrick]

Listen to American History Hotline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. For my heart podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is the turning river road. I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor? But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey.

So if you've ever fallen in love with a fictional character or cried at the last chapter or passed a book to a friend saying, you have to read this, this podcast is for you. Listen to bookmarked by Reese's Book Club on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond and left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think in the New York Daily News it's Teddy Escapes Blonde Drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you the story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president? Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

[Rich Eisen]

More of your phone calls coming up. 877-3-DP-SHoVE update the poll results as well. Paulie, before we bring in Rich Eisen, the host of the Rich Eisen show, would you look up the definition of cheating and slander? Yeah, let's bring in Rich Eisen. The Rich Eisen show headed to ESPN very soon and congratulations on that. Are you going to be doing sports centers when you go back to espn?

[Paul Pabst]

DP that is, that is to be determined at this point in time. We're, we're, we're still hashing out some of the, some of the particulars here on this on the deal. But, but, you know, obviously get my cardboard box back after 22 years. Is it's a rarity in any business. I look forward to seeing what's in there. Maybe something of yours that you've been looking for for all this time, since obviously, you know, I sticky fingers from back in those days. You know what I mean? Maybe. Maybe I slip something off your desk. If you're looking for something, I'll see if it's in the box for you, Dan, since obviously I'm. I'm here. I'm here with many mea culpas at this point in time. I think on this program.

[Rich Eisen]

A few of your crew threw out the word cheating. Family feud. All right, so here's.

[Paul Pabst]

Yeah, go for it, Dan.

[Rich Eisen]

No, no, I'm. I'm trying to understand this. It was about the kids. It's about charity. Boys and girls Club of Milford, Connecticut, got $25,000 to see their little faces. Now they're suffering because they think maybe they got that through nefarious means. So you're hurting the kids.

[Paul Pabst]

I'm hurting the kids.

[Rich Eisen]

Those children. Those children, they look up to me. And now I've been accused of cheating my show.

[Paul Pabst]

No, listen, that. That was a very strong word. First of all, Dan, the word feud is in the name of the show title, right? So there is a feud that happens. It's a family feud, which means not just the people who are going against each other are members of the same family. I think the two of us, our shows were put against one another in this feud because I think we're family, Dan. You know what I mean? I think we go way back. Your children babysat mine. If you want to talk about kids, you know, very, very thrilled to see your children grow up into lovely human beings. My kids here on this set, my figurative kids sometimes get a little bit, shall I say, loose with the facts. And we just. This is great, because all of us here thought this was the genesis of. It was. Is that when Fritz said the word spider, okay, For a specific clue that was given. I guess what something you put on a. On a chair to get a teacher upset or something like that. TJ Chimed in to answer the word bugs, which was then surpassed by Fritz saying apple or something like that on the chair. And then Fritz, later on said spider. He wasn't buzzed. That should have been the end of the conversation. We should have gotten control to try and get a chance to steal. We had come up with the. While we were huddling up, we would come up with the answer of love note or node or something like that, which Fritz then supplanted with the Word Spider. Okay. And. And then. So when we said that we had the same answer as Fritz, we did, but in recollection, it was the same wrong answer as Todd. And that information was furnished to me by my guys here because I haven't watched the show back, Dan. That was furnished to me three minutes before I zoomed in with you. So I have given everybody here a bit of a tongue lashing, knowing that I was about to take the slings and arrows for faulty information. And I apologize on behalf of the Rich Eisen show for calling you a cheater. And all the kids of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Milford, their money is not tainted. It is actually well earned.

[Rich Eisen]

All the kids are here with me. Their little faces. Look at it.

[Paul Pabst]

Oh, my God. Describe them. Describe them to me, Dan, because I only see you. I'm not even seeing me back right now. I can't even see me on the screen. I only see you.

[Rich Eisen]

They're actually all holding the cash at $25,000 and now.

[Paul Pabst]

Oh, really? They delivered it.

[Rich Eisen]

Okay.

[Paul Pabst]

They delivered it in cold, hard cash. Did they? Did they?

[Rich Eisen]

Yeah, I wanted dollars. I wanted dollars for. Everybody got a dollar. But it just. It felt like there was some feuding within the feud on your team that. My team. We love each other, we care for each other, we share with each other, we hug, we hold. It felt like there was some real animosity going on with the Rich Eisen Show. It felt like there was unrest.

[Paul Pabst]

You felt it in the. On that day. You mean like, across from us? You said you sensed the descens.

[Rich Eisen]

I saw an eye roll by you.

[Paul Pabst]

Oh, please.

[Rich Eisen]

Yes. Yeah. There was an eye roll with one answer.

[Paul Pabst]

Yeah, Del Tufo. It was Del Tufo. Because we.

[Rich Eisen]

It was an eye roll.

[Paul Pabst]

Yeah, we were. We were thinking last minute of supplanting Mike Deltufa with O' Shea Jackson Jr. Who hosts a podcast with TJ Jefferson, our. Our no contest wrestling pod. We almost made a last minute switch here, but figured that it would be significant team chemistry problems going into the facility in Atlanta, so he kept it as is. And that might have been you. You catching me second guessing my leadership qualities, Dan? Yeah, you might have caught that, you know?

[Rich Eisen]

Well, I. I do appreciate you finally realizing that. We didn't do anything wrong. We. If anything, you might be accusing Family Feud of doing something wrong because, well.

[Paul Pabst]

You got the same instructions. You got the same instructions we got, I'm sure. Right? They sat you down as a group and said if you repeat an answer, it a. It's a strike. Right?

[Rich Eisen]

You Know, paying attention to that. I wanted to see how I looked. I didn't care what the rules were. I cared about is how my, my suit looked.

[Paul Pabst]

Forgot about that about you, Dan. Yeah, but you look great.

[Rich Eisen]

Feels great. Feels. Feels like you're walking this back a little bit.

[Paul Pabst]

And I. I'm not walking it back a little bit. I'm walking it back entirely, Dan. I'm walking the entirety back. Because again, I. I didn't have a watch party that night at the American Century Championship to watch it back because I knew there was nothing to party about. Watching it back.

[Rich Eisen]

I did. I saw Rich and we were at a pairings party at Lake Tahoe, all these celebrities, and he was like, are you gonna go to the, you know, whatever karaoke night? I go, no, what are you doing? I go, we got a watch party. He goes, oh, what? I said, yeah. Watching Family Feud.

[Paul Pabst]

Yes. So, by the way, while we're axe grinding, I got ripped off on losing that karaoke contest that night at the American Century Championship. I went up and I did New York, New York. I killed it. Standing ovation. And I followed Jack Wagner and Jake Owen on the stage. Two you know, ringers who apparently were not eligible but were up there to entertain. I showed up, I crushed it. I didn't even place. I didn't even. I didn't even finish in third.

[Rich Eisen]

So first of all, you said standing ovation. There weren't any chairs there. So everybody was standing.

[Paul Pabst]

People were standing. Is that why they were standing?

[Rich Eisen]

Yes. Everybody, there were no chairs. That's standing ovation. Why are you always the victim? You're the victim here. You were the victim of Family Feud. You're the victim of celebrity karaoke.

[Paul Pabst]

No, I wasn't a victim of Family Feud. I was a victim of my guys coming up with a false narrative that I still would, that I went away and bought for a bit on the air. That, by the way, if I'm not mistaken, I saw a nine minute video from you, Dan, yesterday that's called content. So I guess you're welcome in that respect. You know what I mean?

[Rich Eisen]

Would you trade your guys for my guys straight up right now?

[Paul Pabst]

No. No, I would not do that. I would not do that. Dan, come on now.

[Rich Eisen]

Why would you even ask that question before?

[Paul Pabst]

Did you read a text from Susie on the air?

[Rich Eisen]

Did you use your wife?

[Paul Pabst]

The electronic communication of my own wife.

[Rich Eisen]

What is your wife? She. Okay, here we go. Let me go to my phone.

[Paul Pabst]

What did she.

[Rich Eisen]

What is that?

[Paul Pabst]

Now this. This would be the Family Feud. This is an Actual family feud, Dan. Okay, you're, you're, you're, you're entertaining here.

[Rich Eisen]

So she said to. Congrats on the big win.

[Paul Pabst]

Okay?

[Rich Eisen]

These guys are morons. I might lock Rich out of the house.

[Paul Pabst]

Okay, that's. By the way, this sounds like Susie, so I'm not accusing. I'm not a victim of anything here.

[Rich Eisen]

She also said this Rich. Oh, no, she went. Okay. She went to Tahoe to watch Rich. Rich played golf in the American Century Championship.

[Paul Pabst]

Yes.

[Rich Eisen]

Nothing quite as breathtaking as watching bad golf. Wow.

[Paul Pabst]

Well, I got stuff from you.

[Rich Eisen]

Dominated Dylan Dryer.

[Paul Pabst]

That was my favorite sex of the weekend. Tied for 88. Tied for 88. Don't forget the tie. I tied for 88. Let me see what you sent me because I'm, you know, I'm feeling good. Like I'm actually doing it. You know what I'm like, I'm actually going out there. And so I finished in second to last after the second round, and I'm feeling good about myself when I wake up for the final round saying, you know, I actually made some nice shots to finish up. You know how a football team finishes the regular season one way and they can carry it into the start of the next season? I thought I could do that the next day. And I wake up first text 5:15am Lake Tahoe time, and it says, you have them right where you want them. Good luck today. The world is watching. That's from Dan Patrick. And then, and then after I finished, you, you wrote you owned Dylan Dreyer. Two exclamation points. So I appreciate your support, Dan. I appreciate it. Yeah.

[Rich Eisen]

This is what I do. I give to the, the children of the Boys and Girls Club.

[Paul Pabst]

You were standing right there with a dollar.

[Rich Eisen]

There's. They're actually sitting right now.

[Paul Pabst]

Okay.

[Rich Eisen]

Now they're off camera right there. Well, I appreciate you coming on and, and you know, and congratulations. Going back to the mothership. Your show's going to be on ESPN Radio. And sir, you're not moving back to Bristol, Connecticut, correct?

[Paul Pabst]

No, sir. No, sir. We're still in this studio every day, 12 to 3 Eastern. It'll be on Disney Plus, ESPN plus and their new direct to consumer service weight. I've written down here, it's called ESPN. That's what it's called. And ESPN radio every day, coast to coast, SiriusXM, all that good stuff. DP and also.

[Rich Eisen]

And they brought up my name there. Well, they brought up my name espn.

[Paul Pabst]

Yeah, of course. Always. Dan, in every conversation that we have, they're like, you Know what I love?

[Rich Eisen]

Can I. Can I fill in for you one day, please? You're on vacation. Where. I'm after my show. Then I do your show on espn.

[Paul Pabst]

Please, Dan, anytime you're available. But actually, I will do this right now, Dan, as in front of your audience as well. That I'm. I'm starting a new podcast, a legacy podcast for ESPN called this Was Sports center, where I go down memory lane with. With colleagues of mine from back in the day, and I'm officially asking you to be my first guest for this podcast.

[Rich Eisen]

Dad.

[Dan Patrick]

Dad.

[Paul Pabst]

This is where you say, of course, no. This is where you say, of course, no. That you don't politely decline. You don't do that.

[Rich Eisen]

I don't do anything for ESPN.

[Paul Pabst]

It's for me, but it's.

[Rich Eisen]

ESPN's the big winner there.

[Paul Pabst]

Goodness gracious. This is the feud. This is the feud right now. This is the. Found in the middle of that feud. Why you're not feuding with them anymore? I thought you're cool.

[Rich Eisen]

You.

[Paul Pabst]

You got invited back to do a Sports center with KO. I mean, that happened to them.

[Rich Eisen]

That was for them. Okay, all right. That was for them.

[Paul Pabst]

All right. Well, at some point, look for my phone call.

[Rich Eisen]

After Brett Haber and after Larry Beal.

[Paul Pabst]

Lawrence, he was my first Sports center colleague. I did my first Sports center with Sir Lawrence of Beale. I did that with him. Yeah.

[Rich Eisen]

Okay. You know what aloha means.

[Paul Pabst]

Goodbye.

[Rich Eisen]

Thank you.

[Paul Pabst]

That's the way.

[Rich Eisen]

Ladies and gentlemen, Rich Eisen of the Rich Eisen Show. Did we make it better? Did we. Are we done with this? The celebrity family feud? Yes, Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

I didn't understand anything Richard's talk about there about that whole answer thing with spiders, stuff like that, but it feels like they were mistaken.

[Rich Eisen]

Yes. Well, not to be that guy, but if the big dispute was bugs and spiders being the same answer, a spider is, in fact, not a bug. It's an arachnid. Okay. A bug would be an insect. Either way, I think the Eisenfellows are wrong. Yeah. They don't do a lot of homework. Is it a technicality? Sure, sure. But is it accurate? 100%. You know, it. It would be like if all of a sudden somebody went back and said, you know, the Patriots were guilty of holding in the third quarter of that super bowl win against the Falcons. That's what this was. It's going back to just one little moment, and we ended up winning. We came back, we dominated. They had a head start, and we're winners. We're winners. Yes. Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

Great idea.

[Rich Eisen]

Let's go back through that game, through that comeback and see how many penalties the Patriots were actually guilty of and if it would have changed the game. You do that. Yeah, you back and watch it. Oh, that's holding. That's holding.

[Dan Patrick]

That's holding.

[Rich Eisen]

That's got to be 40 yards right there. All right, let's regroup here. Let's regroup. Winners. Champions. Yeah. Come on now. Come on.

[Dan Patrick]

You gotta get jackets.

[Rich Eisen]

Starter jackets. Yeah, yeah. Real shiny jackets that we get to wear around. Yeah. Marvin, you like that?

[Paul Pabst]

And Charlotte Hornets colors. Let's go.

[Rich Eisen]

Yeah, we're gonna get teal starter jacket. Let's go. All right, we'll take a break. Last call for phone calls. What we learn what's in store tomorrow after this.

Hamilton pauses and then he says, the.

[Rich Eisen]

Greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar.

[Dan Patrick]

And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption.

[Rich Eisen]

My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said.

[Dan Patrick]

It would have been harder to fake.

[Rich Eisen]

It than to do it.

Listen to American History Hotline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. For my heart podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is the Turning River Road. I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor? But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey. Listen to the Turning river road on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Just like great shoes, great books take you places through unforgettable love stories and into conversations with characters you'll never for I think any good romance.

[Rich Eisen]

The last call for phone calls. What we learn what's in store tomorrow. The Mariners, Cubs and Giants all recorded shutouts last night. So that brings the total number of shutouts in baseball this season to 219. That's the fifth most before the month of August since 1920. Stat of the day brought to you by Pandora and Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show Shohei Otani a two run homer. So that's four consecutive games with a home run. First time in his career he's homered in four straight. And the big dumper Cal Raleigh hit his 39th of the year. Marvin as is Ken Griffey Jr. Seattle Mariner T shirt on today.

[Paul Pabst]

Absolutely.

[Rich Eisen]

Cal Raleigh now has the second most home runs before August 1st of any player in Mariners franchise history. Only Ken Griffey Jr. III. He had 41 home runs back in 1998. Jacob Philip Mizarowski allowed three hits. He struck out seven in three and two thirds. And he. He's had six starts, I think, in his career. And he's up there, I think, in the top 5 of pitchers who have thrown pitches over 101 miles per hour. I think Hunter Green of the Reds has had over 100 of those pitches. And then you go down the list and Jacob Mizorowski, he's got, I think close to 50 of those pitches. Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Todd, how do we feel about the Miz nickname? We had the Miz in Lake Tahoe and he was terrific, talking about wrestling, acting and everything. And now you get the Miz in baseball. I don't even know if we need one. We need two nicknames of the Miz. I don't like double nicknames like that.

[Rich Eisen]

All right, thank you.

[Paul Pabst]

I don't know what you.

[Rich Eisen]

How you felt much like lt Ladanian Tomlinson or Lawrence Taylor.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Rich Eisen]

Yes, Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

I think Todd has a point because Lawrence Taylor was a generation before. There was no confusion day to day. Maybe if you called Jacob Mizorowski Miz, not the Miz, it would help a little bit.

[Rich Eisen]

A little bit. Okay. This day in sports history, Paul, what do you have for me? I have a couple.

[Dan Patrick]

This Day in sports history. Tiger Woods, 2000, became the youngest player to complete the career Grand Slam when he won the British Open at 24 years old. And fellow biker Dan Lance Armstrong in 2000 won his second Tour de France. And in 2009, Mark Burley of the White Sox pitched the 18th perfect game in league history. 2009.

[Rich Eisen]

So Tiger in 2000 won the US Open by 15. He won the British Open by eight. He was 24 years of age, the youngest to ever win all four of the majors. Let's see. Oh, 1996. Carrie Strug lands her second vault on the injured ankle. Yeah. Bella. Caroly has to carry her off in his arms. And Team USA wins the gold medal in women's gymnastics.

[Paul Pabst]

She really milked that one. I don't know if she was that injured. I'm just teasing. That was remarkable. I was there for that. I was covering that. Not I wasn't in the venue for that, but that was pretty awesome.

[Rich Eisen]

What do you mean you were covering?

[Dan Patrick]

I was covering that on a different show.

[Paul Pabst]

I was at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta working on an ESPN TV show, but I wasn't in the venue when that happened. But it was exciting to be in the city, and that was a big deal. Everybody was walking around, limping on one leg, reenacting. That was just me in my hotel room.

[Rich Eisen]

Somebody speaking of somebody who milks an injury.

[Paul Pabst]

Yeah, that would be me.

[Dan Patrick]

That's fair.

[Rich Eisen]

That's fair. Your Wiffle ball injury, your pickleball injury. In the middle of the night, you trip over the bed or some airborne.

[Paul Pabst]

That they put in front of the bed when you sit on to tie your shoes or whatever. I don't know what that thing is. It shouldn't be there.

[Dan Patrick]

It's a bench.

[Rich Eisen]

It's terrible.

[Dan Patrick]

We don't need a bench in the hotel room. Put that in the hall. I don't know what that thing is like. It's from a foreign country. Some kind of bench.

[Rich Eisen]

You use the bed to sit down. Zach in Grand Rapids. Hi, Zach. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan. What's going on? Long time listener. Listen every day. Love you guys. I got a couple sequels real quick. First off, I think we need a Dark Knight sequel. I know they closed out the series, but they left it open. An open book for us with Joseph Gordon Levitt, potentially as Robin. Would love to see that. Instead of the other Batman series going on. And the second one I got that I've wanted since I was a kid was a fourth Austin Powers. How they left Gold member too Much of an open book. I think they could do a lot nowadays with, you know, Bluetooth going on and stuff. So I think that would be great. Great promotion for him, too. And I did want to ask you a question regarding the debate you were having earlier over, you know, Justin Jefferson or a Miles Garrett. Would you think the same if it was Calvin Johnson? I'm a longtime Lions fan, you know, if it was Calvin Johnson versus the Miles Garrett. I know you chose Miles Garrett, but.

[Dan Patrick]

It, you know, you said that you.

[Rich Eisen]

Could, you could get two defenders to cover Justin Jefferson pretty easily. Miles Garrett, you really can't stop. That's not the case with Calvin Johnson. You know, three guys would be covered him and he tanked down a touchdown, which is. I still take Miles Garrett. I'd still take Miles Garrett. Thanks for the phone call, Zach. See Allen in Long Beach. Hey, Alan, what's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. First time, long time. 55150. Anyways, I enjoyed your interview with the Sandman so much. It got me to wondering if you.

[Dan Patrick]

Could refresh us listeners.

[Rich Eisen]

How did you first get acquainted with him and how did it evolve into.

[Paul Pabst]

The relationship it is today?

[Rich Eisen]

Well, I met him. I was at a Knicks game, and I'm walking around really underneath, out in the bowels, you know, of the arena. And I just see Sandler alone. It was at halftime, and I just walked up to him and just said, hey, Sandman. And he just said, hey, Danny P. And he had just done Happy Gilmore, not the. The original, not too long or prior to that. And somebody didn't show up who was supposed to be in the movie. And I said, hey, if you ever need somebody, you let me know. And he goes, danny, you're in my next one. And now he did Little Nicky was his next one. After that, he did the Longest Yard. And he said, I'm gonna put you in. You're gonna be a police officer. Your name is gonna be Danny McEfin Patrick, and you have a mustache. And that's what he did. And then after that, he would just find, you know, he would carve out a role for me. I think this is 21 or 22 movies that he's done that. But he's been very generous. We've developed a friendship there and spent a lot of time with him. When I had my birthday party, we were at Craig's in West Hollywood. And I remember Sandman drove over from his house. I mean, there were a lot of people there. It was very nice. But he. He said, I got out of the pool to come over. You know, of course it looked like he got out of the pool to come over and like, John Fogarty was there, Josh Duhamel was there, Jennifer Aniston was there. Like there was. It was a great group of people. And Rich Eisen and Susie, his wife, helped put that together. Yes, Paulie, just to put it in.

[Dan Patrick]

Perspective, Robert De Niro has only made 10 movies with Martin Scorsese.

[Rich Eisen]

Thank you, Paul. Anytime. That's what I learned. That's what I learned. Do your summer plans include a new job? You want to work with an expert in your local market to find the right role, you can just call your local Express employment professionals. You can go to expresspros.com Express never charges job seekers in a fee. Well, I think we accomplished a lot today. Talked to the Sandman, we smoothed over a family feud with Rich Eisen, and hopefully we entertained a nation. If not, we'll try again tomorrow. Have a great day.
