Best and worst of the weekend. 877-3-DP Show. Email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show NBA tips off. It's a new era on NBC. And Peacock. Rockets, Thunder, Warriors, Lakers. That'll be tomorrow, NBC and streaming on Peacock. We have our jerseys. On today, the NBA said pick a jersey, and I actually picked Pete Marovich from his Atlanta Hawks day days, but they. They couldn't replicate that in time. Yes, Todd. I initially picked Kareem, which would have been perfect because Kareem's obviously number 33, and we know how many points the Broncos scored in the fourth quarter. That would have been awesome. But I love Jalen Brunson, too, but my first choice was Kareem. It just would have been very ironic to have 33 on today. Thank you, Todd. You're welcome. You could have picked Larry Bird. I could have, but I do the sky hook, which we all know, so that I went with. Oh, that's right. Then we would have had three Laker jerseys. So Todd has his Jalen Brunson jersey on Seaton has Bronnie James jersey on. Marvin has. Who do you have on Marvin?
A
Anthony Edwards.
B
Anthony Edwards. Paulie has Steph Curry, and I've got Luka Don Chick, since I'm picking him for mvp. All right, we'll get to your Phone calls, final hour, best and worst of the weekend. What you saw that you liked, you didn't like baseball. Tonight, Mariners in the Blue Jays. Just a suggestion. And it's a suggestion. Don't pitch to Vlad Guerrero. He is on a, on a heater right now. He is doing something that the last time this happened, it was Babe Ruth. And speaking of Babe Ruth, Shohei Otani did some things that even Babe Ruth didn't do. Ron Darling was on the call, the former World Series champ with the Mets and broadcasting with TBS in the booth for Friday night, the pennant clinching victory. Ronnie, you've seen a lot of baseball. Oh, have you seen anything that compares to what you saw on Friday night?
A
I've never seen anything like it. You know, I think that we're used to seeing great things from great athletes and, and we always find the words. I found it very difficult to find any words for what happened on Friday night. That's something that I thought might be 100 years from now. Maybe I didn't know it was. It was present now. It's just, it was stuff that you see in Williamsport. You don't see a Dodger Stadium on a Friday night, a Little League World.
B
Series instead of a playoff. But, you know, no other player has this opportunity to pitch and then bat leadoff. I mean, there's nobody else. Even Babe Ruth didn't do this. He probably batted third in the lineup with the Yankees, but he stopped pitching to just then concentrate on hitting.
A
Yeah, it's. And, you know, the pitching and the way you pitched and got people out in those days certainly is a little different than what guys are looking at today. But I remember I'm old enough that when I was drafted, I remember saying to my agent, I said, what if I don't like who drafts me? Why can't I go to Japan and play for a couple of years? I'm 20 years old. It would be a great place to hang out, learn a lot about baseball, formative years and also new culture. And my agent told me that you'd be blackballed from baseball forever. But the one thing he did say, and I'll never forget it as he said, you know, it's inferior baseball over there. They'll have some pitchers maybe someday come over and make their mark. But the everyday player will never have a place in a major league baseball. And in my lifetime, we have. The best player that I've ever seen was born in Japan.
B
But you also look at this and you wonder that, will this spawn other players who. And Usually your pitcher is your shortstop and your best player, and he bats third in the lineup. Why haven't we seen more of this? Paul Skeens was a great hitter in college, and I don't know, can you take advantage of that? Will teams do that?
A
You know, I can only speak from my own experience because when I hear about other pitchers that were great hitters, I'm always a little skeptical. And only in this sense is that I was a player pitcher myself and I had great years as a collegiate. And then I started taking batting practice against major league pitchers. And the spin and the velocity and I was, wow, am I out of my lane league. So even most collegiate collegiate players who are great hitters and pitchers find when, when they get to the major league level that they're not. So that's what makes it even more remarkable.
B
What was it more remarkable, the pitching or the hitting? If. If we separate the two, that he hits three bombs, but also the pitching, because, man, that was some filthy stuff that he was throwing.
A
Well, I think if we separated, the pitching was remarkable only because he hasn't done a lot of it this year and that he could be in between throwing in a major league game and produce those kind of results. But the one thing, Dan, I will tell you, especially his second and third home run, our people at Turner, they do such a great job with the pictures and in the sound. They could not replicate the sound that second home run made from the booth. It sounded like someone had shot off a cannon. I mean, the sound of the connection between bat and ball, I've never heard that before. And I've heard some great sounds, including some personally, that ended up going a long way. But I had never in the booth heard something that loud. And, you know, we tried to capture it leaving the stadium. And when I was a young player going to Dodger Stadium for the first time, I had people all the time say, well, that's where Stargill hit the ball over the pavilion. And I guess kind of like Ted Williams seat in Fenway Park. Yeah, whatever, you know, whatever you want to say, that's great. That's a nice story. And then you see someone do it and you say to yourself that that which you thought was impossible is possible.
B
I have fallen in love with the sound. And you bring that up and I would just have Marvin, who gets all of our sound, I'd say, just get me Ohtani hitting that home. There's nobody who sounds that way. You could say, I'm going to play five sounds and I'll go Well, that one's Ohtani. I don't know if any, like Bonds, McGuire, who. I don't know who you faced that you would go, oh, my God. Soon as it's. It hits the bat, you know that it's gone. Yeah.
A
There definitely is a different sound for, for the amazing hitter, Barry. I faced him early in his career and there definitely was Ken Griffey Jr. The ball would leave his bat in a specific way, but the thunder which comes off the bat of Otani is just special.
B
Explain to me the Dodgers plan is to let their starters go a little bit further. It seems to be counterintuitive to what everybody else in baseball is doing.
A
Well, yes, because they're at a perfect spot. They've done something that very few teams can do, have done, or afford to do. And that is.
B
Do you need to get a drink of water? Go ahead, drink water.
A
Do you mind? Give me one second.
B
Okay, go ahead. So Ron was on the call. That was Friday night with game four, the TBS lead analyst. He won the World Series back with the Mets in 1986. All right.
A
Sorry about that. That very few teams can do. They got these pictures, Snell and Glass now and others, and they're at a spot where they've only pitched 60 to 100 innings. So right now in October, they have the most well rested staff with some of the most talented pitchers in baseball performing at their best. And I think that's why they're asking more of them than you've ever seen in the playoffs. We've had guys before that they get to this point, they have 200 innings or 185 innings. We're talking about guys that you can push for a couple of reasons. One is that they're where they're at innings wise. But two, they've made their money, Dan. And that seems to be a very important thing for especially pitchers in baseball. If they've made their money, I think they're more willing to go that extra mile.
B
What do you mean?
A
I think that when you get to the postseason and you're dealing with a player or a pitcher that has not gotten his four or five year contract, their agent, themselves, people around them, the team are hesitant sometimes to push them to a level that they've never been before. But if they've made their money, I feel like they feel confident that they can go and go that extra mile and pitch seven, eight innings as opposed to the five or six that you see before.
B
Vlad Guerrero has been hot the entire postseason. Mean Ohtani was hot for one Game. But Vlad Guerrero, I got a walking, running.
A
I'm amazed. We're supposed to be at the smartest point we've ever been in baseball. And sometimes it's really nothing more than throwing all the papers away and everything and charts and all of that and just watching an athlete at his best. I guess we've all been waiting for. For Junior to get to this point because we knew he had all the talent in the world. But it's. And I know you know this better than anyone, when the talent and maturity clash all at the same time, it's one of the most beautiful things to watch in athletes. And that's where he is right now. He just is intelligence about hitting is. Is coupled with his athletic and innate athletic talent. So it's a. It's fun to watch. And I'm with you. That Seattle would ever challenge him at any point makes no sense to me.
B
If I. And this is apples and oranges, but if I took the Bill Buckner game, game six in the World Series.
A
Yeah.
B
And put that up against Ohtani's game Friday night, crazier game that you think you would never see again, which one would it be?
A
Well, I think it would be the Buckner game. To me, I think only because Ohtani could do it again and he might do it again in the World Series. It was just the strangest thing with that game because it was built on the Mets coming back in game six and the NLCS against Bob Knepper three runs down. It was coupled with Dave Henderson leading off that inning with a home run and adding an extra run against Rick Aguilera, who would become one of the great closers in the game. All of that together, no one recovers from that. But because of. Of guys like Gary Carter and Kevin Mitchell and Ray Knight and Mookie Wilson, we had a big thing in one of the playoff games that Bryce Tarang, the second baseman, couldn't get out of the way of a pit or did get out of the way of a pitch, but bases loaded, and if he got hit, they would have tied the game. And I think to myself, I might not have had a career in TV if Mookie Wilson couldn't got out of the way before he hit that ground ball. And we ended up winning the World Series. So you, you never know what's kind of transpired.
B
It was so strange being there that night and going into the locker room and Keith Hernandez always had a six pack of, I think, Michelob.
A
Yeah, Michelov. You got it right.
B
And. And then I Went in there and I realized he was in there when the rally was happening, getting undressed. And I. It was one of those where, I mean, everybody kind of thought this foregone conclusion, but it's still one of those. You want to talk about a roar when you guys won that game? That roar at Shea Stadium was incredible. And then I had to go into the Red Sox locker room to interview Bill Buckner right after that.
A
I mean, one of. One of the worst things you ever have to do, right? Anytime you have to go into the losers locker room, but especially with Bill, who's one of the great players, one of the great hitters to have to face. The one thing I will say about that night is, you know, the locker rooms aren't like they are now. The locker rooms are pretty pathetic in those days. And we had that popcorn ceiling and because of the war as you were talking about, and the people dancing in the stands, all of the soot and dirt was coming through the popcorn ceiling. And all of us thought, I think as a collective group, this stadium could come down. But I think we're all comfortable. If it's going to come down, this is the best time.
B
Who do the Dodgers want to face between these two teams tonight?
A
I don't think the Dodgers care who they face, to tell you the truth. I think they're at a point right now where they're extremely confident. They've got five future hall of Famers, if you include the manager on the ball club. They're playing peak with their starting pitching, the relievings coming along, and the lineup is as tough as any of the game. I don't think they fear anyone if they had to face a team, maybe Seattle, because that way they stay on the West Coast. It's a little easier travel.
B
Yeah. That's why. So you got Ohtani, Mookie, Kershaw, Freeman, Dave Roberts.
A
There you go. That's. That's, that's their hall of Famers at some point, so. And now we haven't. And we have. What if Snell gets his third Cy Young? You know, there's other. Other players, too.
B
I don't know. Can three Cy Youngs.
A
You feel like it at least gets you in the conversation, so.
B
Well, yeah, I don't know anymore. With starting pitching.
A
Yeah, exactly.
B
I mean, it's really hard to go like, what. What gets you in as a starter anymore?
A
I know we're going to have starters in the near future who are going to have less than 150 wins, who are going to be seriously Considered and that's how much the game has changed. I, in fact, I think the win is going to change. It's going to be a collective decision by some group. I don't know if it's going to be the official score that will give it to whoever pitched the best that day. The five innings and all of that I think are going to go by the wayside someday. Maybe not in my lifetime, but it's going to go.
B
So to be open to interpretation from the official score of you get a win and you went two and two thirds. Yeah.
A
Yes, exactly. A starting pitcher could go four and two thirds of scoreless baseball. Everyone else kind of suffers and he gets the win even though he didn't meet are five inning minimum.
B
But then can you look back and look at some of these pitchers who ended up with 250 wins? And now do you look at Mike Musina differently or you know, Bert Bly Leven or Tommy John or you know, those, you know, Kurt Schilling who should be in the hall of Fame? In my opinion, 100%.
A
I'm a big hall guy. All those guys I look at differently anyways because they were kind of old school meets the new school in this format. I think I can find maybe 50 or 60 more wins for myself, but we'll have to see.
B
Great to talk to you, Ronnie. Thank you for joining us.
A
Thanks, Dan. Anytime.
B
That's Ron Darling. He was in the booth for the NLCS game four also. You look at that 86 Mets team, they should have won a couple more. That's a talented team, but man, were they oddballs. There were some goofballs on that team on the road. They didn't get cheated.
A
Yes, Paul, to me they're like the motley crew of sports. The hardest partying team of all time. They're easily a one seed. There's four one seeds.
B
Yeah, they, there was a lot of things going on and I was around the team on the periphery. You know, I didn't. You're just kind of hearing stuff. And I didn't cover the team on a daily basis, but if we were doing a story, a feature on Strawberry or a feature on Doc Gooden, then you'd be out there. And then I was out there for all of those World Series games. Yes, Todd, and to still somehow win it all. Granted, they should have won multiple times. Like, you know, we say the Braves should have won multiple ones. But you remember the Bronx Zoo years with the Yankees. To have those kinds of characters and troublemakers for Lack of a better word. And to still win World Series, to be able to act that way and still win. Yeah. I go back to the Oakland A's in the early 70s. They were like that, too, that there was kind of function with their dysfunction. The Cowboys, although they, they were a team, they were just doing some things at the White House that, you know, not everybody was doing. But it wasn't like the Oakland A's. It felt like there was feuds going on all the time. Yes. Marvin, what about the Oakland Raiders, like the late 70s? Did they have a bunch of characters where you couldn't believe they won, or was that just for show? Oh, no, though. They were characters. Oh, yeah. Start with Alzado, but. But I think they gave you the impression that they might have been outlaws off the field. Just the impression of them and that uniform. But, you know, you had great players. You can't forget about that. They, they were a great team. All right, a little bit late here. Taking a break. We're back after this.

App, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. The Rich Russians Falling out of Windows podcast is back. Sad Oligarch Season 2 Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks to window clumsiness and suicide by decapitating reputation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state controlled media in Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. The Internet is something we make, not just something that happens to us.

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face when you think about emotion, Reg. Like, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say like, like you go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just.
B
Like, walk the other way.
A
Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the Psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
B
Fun to reminisce with Ron Darling. You know, being around him when he was actually pitching for the Mets and being there in 1986. And when you think about that didn't win the World Series. That was game six. Boston led in game seven. Bruce Hurst was on the mound and he was dealing. And the Mets somehow came back and won that as well. But you want to talk about a locker room, that was wild. That was the first time I saw goggles on guys partying. Lenny Dykstra, Roger McDowell, Danny Heap, Wally Backman. Those guys, I remember they had goggles on because they, they were going, they were going hardcore party in there. All right, what are the Dolphins waiting for? That was my thought this morning. Because you get embarrassed by the Browns, bad games by Tua you can't move on from Tua, not until probably after next season. But it's going to be a big cap hit there. For the life of me, for the life of me, I've said this and, and I'll say this as well. Tua has been very friendly to the show. He was a good guest when we had him on at the Super Bowl. His father came up, introduced himself and said that he enjoys the show, but you know, that that's. I put that to the side. I have to assess who you are on the field when you're playing. And he's not good. And I thought, why would you extend him? Why? You could have just not yet. Just say not yet and make him play one more year. And even after that, I said I would have franchise tagged him. I just don't think that's the kind of quarterback who is going to be successful in the NFL. Throw in the injuries now. I know, hey, gets the ball out quickly. I know that you got Tyree Kill and Jalen Waddle. You got a head coach who's, you know, an offensive minded coach. I'm not going to say genius. We tend to throw that out a lot. But I never would have extended him. Never. And, and maybe it would have cost me more, but I needed to find out more from him. Like, it felt like, all right, he's got pockets here where, okay, but then there were other parts where I'm like, that arm's not strong. You can get it out quickly, but. And you're not durable. So I got to see more. And even then, if I franchised him, you can walk away from that. So this isn't revisionist history. I'm not saying this now because I didn't say it back then. I did. I. The injury issues. Now, granted, thankfully, we haven't had that with him, but they're real. You're more susceptible to concussions when you have them and you're not dealing with a twisted ankle. But, I mean, Mike McDaniel is going to lose his job. Tyreek Hill can't play for you, can't be traded. I got Jalen, like, what do I have here? But if you keep him on, does this talk, does it say more about the front office here, ownership here, and maybe they don't want to fire him and they want to keep him on, which it's fine. I mean, maybe you don't want to, you know, pay somebody else to come in. You're not going to hire somebody now, but you start to look at this and you go where's it going and how did it get so bad? Because I think people probably thought, hey, if the Dolphins play some defense here, they're going to be a great offense. Now you look, this is why I think the Patriots are a playoff team. The jets aren't any good and the Dolphins aren't any good. And you can go toe to toe, I believe, with the Buffalo Bills. I think Buffalo is better, but not by a sizable leap. But Mike McDaniel has to talk to the media tomorrow. Is he going to be there to talk to them? Ryan in Detroit. Hi, Ryan, thanks for holding. Best and worst of the weekend. Yeah, hey, Dan, thanks for calling me back. I've got two best and a question for Fritzi. Notre Dame game.
A
First best.
B
Wife and I went over there and it was awesome atmosphere, great win for.
A
The, for the Irish. Weather was a problem, but it was.
B
Still a lot of fun. Second best and I'm 48, Dan, but I still have the mentality of my six year sixth grade son. I couldn't get over the sign in the back of the James Franklin interview on game day. It said, lane Kiffin poops standing up. And for whatever reason, I just couldn't stop laughing during that serious interview. It was up there for a long time. Ryan. I like how when there's an opening, the first name. Well, okay, you have people going, you know, first call I would have for Penn State, Urban Meyer. I go, no, no, that's not your first call. You know, the first call I'd have Nick Saban. No, no, no. You know who I'd call? Lane Kiffin. I go, okay, that might be a possibility. Every opening. Florida. Hey, you know who they should go after? Lane Kiffin. If I'm Lane Kiffin, stay at Ole Miss. Stay there. You got your family there. You seem to be healthy. You've done a great job there. Don't chase, don't chase. You can make a great living. That's a wonderful place to live. Your daughter's going to school there. But hey, you know, the mentality of coaches now is I got to keep moving, got to keep moving, got to keep moving. And. But like Kurt Signetti and I, I'm glad. I never would have given him eight years, but I'm glad that he has stability and he's 64 years of age and timing's everything. Maybe they found their coach, but, you know, it won't take long before people expect you in the playoffs every year. Hey, we're paying you now. We expect this with Penn State. Hey, we're Paying you, we expect this. And then when you don't get to those levels, exceed those levels, expectations, that's when all of a sudden they come after you. But Penn State, great job. But you know, the expectations, when you go in there, it's not just making the playoffs now. You got to win big games and go back to when Ryan, when Ryan Day, you know, they lose to Michigan and all of a sudden it felt like his job was in jeopardy. Right. It wasn't that long ago. It was, oh my God, you lost a Michigan again. Coaches get fired at Ohio State when you do that. And if he doesn't win the national title, I don't, I mean, maybe they don't move on from him, but it's not out of the realm of possibilities there. And then you know what? First call Urban. You know who I'd call? Nick. Nick Saban's got a great life. Everybody's trying to shoehorn him into jobs. You could go to Cleveland Browns. He could, but now that would be stupid. He's going to come back and coach Penn State. No. Yes. Marvin, if you're Florida, do you reach out to James Franklin first? Sure, why not? I kick the tires on everybody. Ryan, thank you for the phone call. Michael in Oregon. Hey, Mike, what's on your mind today?
A
Hi, Dan.
B
It's an all Mariner best and worst.
A
Of course, I'm surprised no one else has touched on this, but Saturday night was just the most amazing 8th and 9th inning of all time in baseball. It shows you what God, the emotion of baseball. So that grand slam, unbelievable. And then last night, the worst. They had bases loaded twice with one out in the middle innings and, and even Cal Cal whiffed. It was just like, oh no. My son and I followed the Mariners since way back. Bruce Lochte, Alvin Davis, even Gorman Thomas all those years. And this is incredible tonight, Dan, it's all about tonight. Baseball is amazing. Thanks for taking my call.
B
Thank you, Michael, here's one for you. The Mariners are the first team to ground into double plays with the bases loaded in consecutive innings in a postseason game since 1940. Also, Seattle grounded into a third consecutive double play in the fifth inning. Prior to Sunday, the Blue Jays pitcher Trey Savage had not gotten a ground ball double play in his career. Crazy stat of the day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. Patrick in Grand Rapids. Hi, Patrick. What's on your mind today?
A
Dan, thanks for taking my call. I'm first time caller. I thought it was a tremendous job.
B
You guys did in South Bend. And I just wanted to comment about the game.
A
And I thought, and I'm not trying to knock usc, I thought, you know.
B
They always bring talent to the, to the field. It's a great rivalry.
A
I hope it never ends. But my question is centered around Lincoln Riley. I mean, he left Oklahoma. It was big hype. Big, big hype. He was gonna, he's, it's gonna be the second coming at usc, you know.
B
Probably even greater than Pete Carroll. Is his relevancy gone if he doesn't, you know, now that he's lost to Notre Dame consecutive years? Is his relevancy gone if he doesn't.
A
Win the Big Ten this year?
B
I mean, what, what's. Well, he's not going to win the Big Ten, but he's flirting with his relevancy. This is one of those situations where, and they got off to a good start and they look great against Michigan, but they're waiting. They're paying him a lot of money. They're waiting for these big moments there and, and whether this is true or not, but wanting out of Oklahoma to go to USC because there's a softer landing in the PAC 12 than the Big Ten or the SEC, and you know, your schedule's not as difficult. Well, you don't have that luxury because now you're in the Big Ten, so you can avoid the sec, but Big Ten, pretty tough sledding as well. Gotta win these games. And there was some questionable play calling in there, and even Lincoln Riley acknowledged that. But you beat Michigan and you got Oregon coming up. Paulie wants to play the Kevin Durant career salary game. He just signed a two year extension for $90 million. They gave up a lot to get Kevin Durant, but they give up like five second round picks or, you know, for a guy 38, 39 years of age. All right, let's do the career set. He's, he's done pretty well.
A
Salary, salary, salary, salary. Celery.
B
Celery, celery.
A
Celery, celery.
B
It's the best part of it. You think it's over and then it's one more. Okay, two parter. How much has he made and where does that rank? All time. You want to do that?
A
I love that. Okay, so two parter, Kevin Durant, this includes, I want you to include when you pick his price, all time, what he's going to get in the next two years, which is about $90 million. Okay, so what will it be if you assume this is his last.
B
All right, Todd, $538 million. All right, Seaton O'. Connor.
A
I'm going to put him at six even.
B
Okay, Marvin. 619 million. Dang. I'm going to go 527. Five.
A
After the next two years, Kevin D. Have made $591 million.
B
Congratulations.
A
As a rookie, he made four million.
B
Congratulations. Okay, where would that rank him on the all time NBA list?
A
Yes.
B
Okay.
A
There's only two dudes ever who have made over 500 as of today.
B
Okay.
A
There's six dudes who have made over 400.
B
Wait, we just. You just told us where he ranked all time.
A
No, not yet because that's what he's got coming to him.
B
But then you said there's two guys in front of him.
A
No, I said there's two guys who have 500 and counting.
B
Okay. Okay. Todd, I'm gonna say second highest after the 90 million deal. Okay, Seaton.
A
Man. 600.
B
I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say he's at the top.
A
I think he's number one.
B
Okay, Marvin. Number one also. Yeah, I'm gonna go one with the bullet.
A
LeBron James is number one all time. LeBron is sitting at 581. Kevin Durant is second sitting at 501. They both have money incoming. Steph Curry.
B
Steph. Yeah.
A
470 and counting. James Harden. Four hundred and eleven.
B
Thomas.
A
This next one's a wild one. Paul George is at 406 million and counting. Chris Paul's at 404 and count.
B
Dang. Thanks. Paul George. Dang. Paul George. James Harden. Chris Paul. How many titles there for $1.2 billion?
A
A decade ago, Kevin Garnett. And at 334.
B
Yeah.
A
Was the highest paid NBA player of all time. He's now 15th.
B
What's SGA and Luca gonna make? What's Victor Wembanyama gonna make? Because it's all slotted. You know, you're. You're gonna make a certain amount of money. And Victor is what, 22? What's Cooper flag gonna make if he proves to be all star caliber? He looks pretty good. He does looks pretty good, I have to admit. Although Reed shepherd looked good the other night. I'm watching him go. All right, Reed. Yes. Marvin. Everybody looks good in the preseason. I know, I know. Well, no, Reed shepherd looked good in the summer league, right? A bunch of guys that aren't going to play in the NBA. He was killing. Yes, I thought. Yeah, man. They took him like third, didn't they? Yes, they did. Dang. But he's on the Rockets this year with kd. So, yeah, another. Another weapon. He's not going to get any shots.
A
I wouldn't give him any shots either.
B
Kevin. Kevin Durant's there.
A
You don't need.
B
And he did average 26 a game last year. Yeah.
A
Paulie, there's a breakdown on Sports Business Journal of Wembanyama. If he makes certain escalators like first team or MVP, his deal that he can get the Supermax three years from now would be a five year, $513 million.
B
He's going to make a billion dollars.
A
Yeah.
B
Gonna make a billion dollars.
A
He should be. He is on pace to be the first 100 million dollar a year guy. It's got. It's gonna take some work, but he's on pace.

The Rich Russians Falling out of Windows podcast is back. Sad Oligarch Season 2 Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to dodge die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks to window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state controlled media in Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face. When you think about emotion regulation, like, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effort, hurtful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say like, like go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just.
B
Like, walk the other way.
A
Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Nine of the top 25 teams lost this weekend. Number two, Miami falls to Louisville. Ole Miss loses to Georgia. Tennessee, handled easily by Alabama. Lsu, they fell to Vandy. So Notre Dame winning, and then the dominoes fall, and then this is where you start to move up. And as long as you keep winning, they're not going to knock you out of that spot. By the way, Reggie Miller, the return of Reggie Miller tomorrow on the program. All right, Reg. All right. We've been talking a lot about Shohei Otani. Here's his manager, Dave Roberts, talking about the greatness that he saw Friday night.
A
Yeah, that was, you know, the greatest, probably the greatest postseason performance of all time. And there's been a lot of postseason games. And there's a reason why he's the.
B
Greatest player on the planet. You know, what he did on the.
A
Mound, what he did at the bat.
B
He created a lot of memories for a lot of people. And so for us to, you know, have a game clinching, to do it in a game clinching game at home wins the NLCS mvp. Pretty special. And I'm just happy to be able.
A
To go along for the ride.
B
Yeah, it's nice to be able to manage somebody like that. But he'd been in a slump during the postseason, but certainly Broke out in a grand way on Friday night. Zach and Albuquerque. Hi, Zach. What's on your mind today?
A
Hey, Dan, thanks for checking my call.
B
First time caller 64235. Cool. Yeah, I just wanted to give the best and worst of the weekend. I know you guys hit on it.
A
A lot already, but my Denver Broncos, if nothing else, you know, they're entertaining whether it's a last second loss or.
B
A last second win.
A
And then my worst, it's got to.
B
Be my Tennessee Vols getting handled by Alabama. That was tough to watch. But Alabama's got a good quarterback. He's good. Ty Simpson's good. I thought Gunner with Georgia played some good, good football, but Simpson's good. I remember when they had that first loss and then, you know, he was running for his life. But he's good. I don't know if he's NFL because we always get caught up. Can he play it like Diego Pavia? I don't know. I mean, maybe he's a Baker Mayfield. I'm just enjoying him now. Like everybody had Carson Beck being a first round pick and I go, I don't think he's a good quarterback. I mean, I think he's got moments. I think he gives the presentation of being a really good quarterback. But take away that one handed grab by the Miami receiver against Notre Dame, that's picked off. They don't win. But you know, maybe, maybe they're back and maybe they're a legitimate, you know, top five, top ten team. It's always good when Miami's back.
A
Yes, Marvin, I thought Carson Beck being.
B
Kind of jettisoned out of Georgia tells.
A
You everything you need to know about his NFL prospects.
B
Paul in North Carolina. Hi, Paul. What's on your mind?
A
Hey, Dan. Happy Monday.
B
Quick best and worst of the weekend. I'll say we're the worst. I'm a UGA alum.
A
Our defense looking unrecognizable once again.
B
But my best is Gunner Stockton going.
A
12 of 12 in the second half with three touchdowns. Dan, I'm also calling you from Asheville.
B
Home of mid October VP Rico Doddle. This is his hometown so we're proud of him what he's doing down in Carolina. And finally, Dan, I just wanted to piggyback on Ron Darling's conversation. I'm a big Mets fan and earlier.
A
This year a Mets pitcher came in with like a five run lead in the eight.
B
Gave up, I don't remember the exact number.
A
Give up, gave up the lead.
B
Gave up like four or five runs. The Mets retook The lead in the.
A
Bottom of the eighth. Diaz closed it in the ninth. And the official score did not give.
B
That reliever the win. Because there's a rule, it's called the.
A
Brief and ineffective rule. If a scorer deems it pitcher briefing.
B
In effect, if he can reward the win to somebody else.
A
So that move that Ron Darling's talking about is not completely unprecedented.
B
Oh, great. Thank you, Paul. I appreciate that. This day in sports history.
A
Paulie, I got a couple for you. Dan, I got. 1936, the AP released its first weekly college football poll. Who was the number one team in the country? 1936, Chicago. No top 10 though. Give you a bloop.
B
Army.
A
The Minnesota Golden Gophers. The Gophers. This is a great one. 1989, the Houston Cougars and Andre Ware against SMU. The final score was 95 to 21. That's a football game. They ran up 1021 yards of total offense on SMU.
B
It was on this date. 1968. The Fosbury Flop became the accepted way to high jump. Dick Fosberry, he won the gold medal in the Mexico City Olympics. Not a lot of times in history somebody's completely reinvented an entire sport. And then it became the way to do it after that.
A
That's crazy.
B
But did Tony Hawk do this in skateboarding?
A
It's kind of apples and oranges. It's like they were doing the jump. Like a scissor kick. The high jump. It used to be a scissor kick and you landed on your back. Then Fosbury went back, arched the back over. It's like if you were shooting underhanded and that was the way basketball was always done. And then you started shooting overhand like that. And now that's the only way you do it. It crazy.
B
Feels like there's a play on the Fosberry flop. Name here coming from Fritzy. Yes. Todd. No. I was wondering if you lose 95, 21, are you shaking the hands of the other head coach? Sounds like a little bit of a running up of the score.
A
They stop before a hundred.
B
A little bit, yeah. Little bit. Not shaking that hand. You ran it up a little bit. Who's the coach? Was Mouse Davis there? Houston.
A
SMU was just coming off the death penalty.
B
Oh, let's go around the room. What we learned on the program. Toddler, what'd you learn? On June 23, 1971, 25 year old Phillies pitcher Rick Wise threw a no hitter, hit two home runs in the same game. And you were in attendance at Riverfront Stadium. Seaton, What'd you learn?
A
Flock around and find out.
B
I like that that T shirt's available. Our Joe Flacco.
A
What's up there?
B
I never thought we would do a Joe Flacco tribute T shirt, but it's there. Flock around and find out. Yeah. Marvin, you and RG3 think quarterbacks should be boring in front of the media.

Main Theme:
A lively hour focusing on historical and current baseball phenomena, headlined by an extended interview with World Series champ and broadcaster Ron Darling, plus spirited debate about NFL quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins' future. The crew rounds out the hour with banter on the economics of NBA superstars, legendary party teams, and callers’ best/worst sports moments.
[05:47] Dan brings on Ron Darling (former Mets pitcher, TBS analyst) to discuss Ohtani’s epic playoff double-duty performance.
“I’ve never seen anything like it... It was stuff that you see in Williamsport. You don’t see at Dodger Stadium on a Friday night.”
—Ron Darling (05:47)
The uniqueness: Ohtani pitches and bats leadoff, something even Ruth didn’t do:
“No other player has this opportunity to pitch and then bat leadoff... Even Babe Ruth didn’t do this.”
—Ron Darling (06:15)
“The thunder which comes off the bat of Ohtani is just special.”
—Ron Darling (10:24)
“They’ve got five future Hall of Famers, if you include the manager on the ball club.”
—Ron Darling (16:37)
Dan scrutinizes the decision to extend Tua Tagovailoa and casts doubt on his “success ceiling:”
“For the life of me, I’ve said this... He’s not good... I never would have extended him. Never... But I needed to find out more from him.”
—Dan Patrick (27:05–30:00)
Dan speculates about the future of the Dolphins’ leadership, potential changes, and the AFC East pecking order.
“That was, you know, the greatest, probably the greatest postseason performance of all time... There’s a reason why he’s the greatest player on the planet.”
—Dave Roberts, Dodgers manager (49:23)
“It was stuff that you see in Williamsport. You don’t see at Dodger Stadium on a Friday night.”
—Ron Darling (05:47)
“He’s not good. And I thought, why would you extend him? Why?”
—Dan Patrick (27:05)
“When the talent and maturity clash all at the same time, it’s one of the most beautiful things to watch in athletes.”
—Ron Darling (13:09)
“There was kind of function with their dysfunction.”
—Dan Patrick (20:09)
Conversational, sharp, and humorous as always. Dan blends pop culture, nostalgia, and sharp questioning, with the Danettes chiming in for banter, trivia, and expert analogies. The guests—especially Ron Darling—bring insight, storytelling, and a few baseball-flavored mic drops.
For listeners seeking the day’s sharpest sports stories, biggest games, and a slice of sports history—and for fans of great soundbites from some true “characters” in the world of sports.
