It's the final hour on a Meat Friday. A controversial Meet Friday. Maybe the most controversial we've had because you have backroom guys who are tapping out. They want no part of Meet Friday. Todd's not going to be part of it. Seaton's not part of it, but I'm all in because I'm a team player. We had team building lunch the other day with sushi, and we're going to do a team rebuilding after meat Friday. We have butter chicken. We have lamb tikka masala, garlic naan, and rice. Who has it better than we do? Nobody. No, buddy. No. This one. Nobody. Stat of the day, brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, download the app if you haven't done so. Yeah, see, this is funny. Yeah, I'm crushing these Eminem peanuts. Yeah, I noticed that. It sounds really good eating on ear. I know that there really isn't much lunch coming my way. We have a bunch of snacks back there. We just got Starburst. What? You didn't see the Starburst canister that we have back there? No. You can't leave now. You gotta wait. Are you sure? Yes, yes, yes. So we have. I think we have Skittles. We have Eminem. Nobody. Oh, look who just came out. Anthony just came out with Starburst. You know what the craziest part of this is? There's still red and pink ones in here. Those usually as soon as something like this up, they're getting taken right out by everybody. And then you're just left with orange and yellow. I love Starburst. AKA Yeah, that's. That's good. Yes, Todd, I like Starburst too, but not in lieu of meat Friday. That's like, now what lunch is. That's a little problem. Well, that's your only choice. Disappointing. Oh, fruit juice, which I really like. When I was in third grade. I loved it. Why don't you order something? I ordered Dylan not to make that Indian food. Dylan put in a lot of time, a lot of effort, a lot of thought, and too much time. It's just one day. Okay, We'll. We'll rally. Next Friday will be better. Okay. I hope. Poll question for the final hour of the program. Seaton is going to be what? I'm sorry. I'm working on this Starburst right now. Todd sent over a quick poll. What do you got, Todd? Are you going to partake in Dylan's meat Friday offerings? And the choice were absolutely or absolutely none because non being Indian flatbread, which is one of the things that's being cooked up back there. Didn't I tell you that I didn't want that? You did say. Yeah, I did. Okay. The Todd cast, it's all Todd. All the time, an hour's worth of Todd available@danpatrick.com Dylan is the host, but Seaton says, how much, how much time do you spend actually talking to Todd? And he said maybe, maybe 5 or 10%. Dylan hosts Todd's podcast. Yeah, yeah. Well, Todd hosts Todd's podcast, but it's available@danpatrick.com All right, final hour. Get to more phone calls. We have the NBA tonight with the Mavericks at the Celtics, then the return of Jason Tatum. DraftKings has the over under at 12 and a half points and hopefully, well, they know this. I would have him coming off the bench and just ease him into the lineup because you got a good six weeks, two months to be. And I wouldn't be worried about what my seating is going to be. You're going to be one of the top four seeds, I would think, and with that lineup, you're going to be able to win on the road if you need to. Well, you're going to need to, but you're. You'll be fine. And I think easing that him back into that lineup. And they're a fun watch this year. My two favorite teams to watch. This year's version or the version of the Celtics that, you know, we've seen in the last six weeks. And also my Hornets. They're fun to watch. They are. They. They. They play pretty good basketball. They might just be a.500 team, but they have far surpassed what I think a lot of people thought they were going to be. Yes, Paul, you never want to lose a star like Tatum, obviously, but like the development of Peyton Pritchard this year, now you have a guy who's gotten tons of minutes, tons of shots, and maybe feels confident in a playoff game to be the 2A option. It's one of those things. They could be more threatening with this, you know, having him out for a while. Oh, I agree. Because you got guys who got minutes and you're seeing guys where you go, wow, I'm not surprised at Peyton Pritchard now. I thought he was going to be better earlier in his NBA career because when he was at Oregon, I'm like, that guy can score on anybody. And you see him, he's got a great handle and he's a great deep shooter. You know, he just needs a little separation with his shot. But he makes you pay. And, you know, you get 50 starts, you know, now all of a sudden, you're starting to see what he can do. It's like Austin Reeves got that opportunity, and then all of a sudden you go, oh, wow, he's going to get paid. Yes. Marvin. And I knew that firsthand from 8:00am Saturday morning text from you. Man, did you see what Payton Pritchard did in the Oregon Pro Am? I did not Pro Am. Well, here's some highlights off of Facebook. I mean, it'd be him killing NBA everybody who thinks they can play basketball. Relax. If you're not an NBA player, it is a whole different level. And Peyton Pritchard, he was a McDonald's All American, so. Oh, man, he's. He's gutty and gritty. Scrappy. No, no, no. He's really talented. Is this angel. Reese's brother, Julian Reese, he had 20 rebounds in the Wizards loss to the Jazz. And he's just the second undrafted rookie with at least 20 rebounds in a game in the last 40 years. Also. Well, his sister can rebound, too. I don't know if Julian, you know, can shoot. Probably not. But just like his sister, he can rebound. 20 rebounds, the most by a Wizards rookie since Tom Gugliotta had 20 in 1993. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Here comes that. What? Stat of the day. Also, Victor Wembanyama. Stat of the day, brought to you by Panini America. Victor Wembanyama. Wembanyama went for 38, 16 and 5 blocks as they sweep the seasonal series with Detroit. San Antonio's 113 of its last 14. They might not be ready to win a championship, but they are ready to ruin your championship run. They're that good. And OKC does not want San Antonio. LeBron is now the all time leader in field goals made in NBA history. He made seven last night, had 16 points in the loss to the Nuggets as he surpasses Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Yes, Paul, your guy. Reed Shepherd, 30 points off the bench in overtime for the Rockets. Yeah, starting to pick it up a bit. Yeah, he's had, he's had his moments this year where, you know, he's. And I don't know if he's at a consistent enough level for me for what, the second pick in the draft. But, you know, 13 a game is nice. It's nice. And all of these guys are young. Reed Shepherd's 21. I mean, that's what's amazing because growing up you were like 24, 25, where you go, oh, that guy's going to be really good. Now you're getting kids who are 19, 20 years of age and they're all ready for, you know, further along than some of these great players. All time great players. Yes, Mark. And I think that's the thing with the NBA is they're drafting potential. So if I draft 19 year old Reed shepherd by 22, 23, he's an all star instead of drafting Dalton connect, who's already 23. Like, you know what, I'm just going to wait for him to be an all Star at this age already. I thought Dalton Connect was going to be a thing. I did. And then he started out as a kind of a thing summer league. And then it's like, okay, somewhere like Assassin. Yeah, I know. Oh, that goddess. Yeah, I know, I know. It's like that's what happened with you in the Grizzlies. They won the summer league. Oh, I know. These Bears don't hibernate. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And then they got Luke Canard and it seems like they got him and then took away the minutes of Dalton Connect. Yes. Paul White on White crime there a little bit. Dalton Connect. Nine points a game for the Lakers last year, down to four and a half. Yeah. Career salary real quick. I can get that for you. Not a lot. What are Bronnie's minutes? Remember when that was a big deal with Bronnie and you know how good he is and, and then all of a sudden I don't know if he plays at all. Yes, Marvin. He's been putting up minutes for the Lakers. Yeah, the South Bay Lakers. Oh, yeah. G league team. Is he going, Is he going back and forth or he just G league bound? No, he's been a two way player. Oh, okay. So he's being treated like the 55th pick. Okay. Yes. Poly Bronnie James in 30 games has played 217 minutes this year in the bigs. Okay. It's not bad. Yeah. Oh, and the Dalton Connect. Career, salary, game. Celery. Salary, salary. Celery. Celery. Are you going to be able to get up there? Celery. Celery. Celery. Celery. Celery. All right. Born In Fargo, North Dakota, Dan Dalton connect. Seems German. He makes $4 million a year. Okay. This year. All right. His entire rookie contract will pay him. Let's say it's guaranteed 18 million bucks. All right, that's good for 10 minutes a game. What? That's not bad. That's good living right there. That's not bad. Hey, if you get per diem as well. What is NBA per diem? Checking. Yeah, I don't know. I. I'd think. And the team, they. How many meals do they take care of? When you're on the road, I'm guessing you're eating at. You know, when you're there, is there pre game meal? When you do a shoot around, is there food there? I haven't. I never saw food at a shoot around. But it's not like they had a spread out on the court. Yes, Paul. The most recent I can find from the CBA. Yeah. Each player gets $156 a day on the road for food. Whether they use it or not, it's just given to them. All right, 156. I thought it would be a little more. I think they make enough. I think they'll be okay. Okay. All right. Not everybody makes $50 million. Yes, Don, I would be curious to see how that's calculated. Why is it not 150 or 161? 156 is very specific. And why don't just make it like 1:5583? It's kind of weird. Buddha in San Francisco. Hi, Buddha. What's on your mind? Nobody happy me Friday boys. Play like a champion today. Fritzi, Dan, I got three points for you today. This message to begin is to the nominating Emmy committee. We presented fire alarms, flipping the bird to the camera, fulcrums, methane, incense sticks, and jumping into pants this week. Make some space for that Emmy boys. And Dan, I just wanted to also say that Paulie does not put his pants on the same way I do. I'm a right leg first and no fulcrum needed. And lastly, Dan, man, I haven't heard this much controversy over a Meat Friday since McLovin opted for the grilled tofu, which admittedly was not good. Yeah. And that cost McLovin his job. Not directly. The tofu laid the groundwork. Yes, but it played a role. I said, I don't know if I could have somebody on the staff, a Danette who likes tofu. Andrew would like randomly mentioned, like, couldn't we mix in some healthy options? Like just as an aside and the daggers anyway. Yeah. And I said to McLovin, all you have to do is sacrifice. If you want to call it for one meal a week, and that is. It's going to be a meat Friday. I'm sorry, it's not called health food Friday. It's meat Friday. If you don't like it, pretend that you do. Suck it up. No, no, I'm saying I'm sick of it. Yeah. Nick in la. Hey, Nick, what's on your Mind. Hey, good morning. Good morning. 6 foot 175. I just wanted to say actually I'm the have an honor to be the second ever Meet Friday song. But sadly 2 a days muff the handoff speed so it never got played bad day in my diary. But anyway, listen this. I'm a 40 year Laker fan and I will not watch Luca. I am indefinitely retired. I was already on strike when they hired captain haircut to coach the team. They just pushed me over the edge with Luca. The complaining the defense locker room cancer will win nothing with him. And when you and Jim Jackson were talking about the legends, Larry, Magic, Kobe, when they yelled at a ref, I can picture their face. They were pissed. They were angry. It was come on ref. When he does it, it's oh no, I didn't touch. Oh no rep. It's he's like a giant toddler. It's unwatchable. Dan. Thank you, Nick. It is tough because he's so good and you hate to see him complain so often, but it just feels like if you complain about every call, then I'm not going to listen to you. The greats would complain about a call and it would stand out and I think that's the difference. Luca just complains and I think if I'm an official, I just tune it out. All right, we'll take a break. When we come back, the Aaron Rodgers game. I don't know what the rules are. We'll make them up. That's next. Dan Patrick show.

Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the underexplored pockets of F1, including the astrology of the current grid. Lewis Hamilton, Capricorn Sun, Cancer moon. Wouldn't you know it? Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer moon. The story of the sport's most consequential driver strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 car career a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better. And plenty of other mishaps, scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no Grip on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's the new me and it's the old them. Everybody's on their journey and your journey is different to theirs. This woman's History Month, the podcast if you Knew Better with Amber Grimes spotlights women who turn missteps into momentum and lessons into power. I think coming out of where I came from, I'm from the Bronx. I think I grew up really poor. I didn't know that then because I very much use my creativity to romanticize life and I'm like, my mom did a really good job of you step back and you're like, whoa. We. I don't know how we made it. So a lot of my life was like built out of like survival to get to the next place, like my drive, my like tunnel vision of like, I gotta be better, I gotta achieve this was off the strengths of like, I wanna make a better life for us. If youf Knew Better brings real talk from women who've lived it, unpacking, career pivots, relationship lessons, and the mindset shifts that changed everything. Listen to if youf Knew Better with Amber grimes on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Usually on this podcast, we'll Kill youl, we talk about the diseases, infections and biological threats that can make us really sick. But right now, we're doing something a little different. We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep going. When you consider what we know about sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by. The second half of our series takes us to the digestive system with a multi part series on what happens after we eat. Okay, I just have to say that all of my favorite words apparently are digestive words. Yeah. Sphincter peristalsis, duodenum. It's fascinating, it's funny, and it matters so much more than you think. Episodes of our new series run from January 20 through February 17, with new episodes every Tuesday on the Exactly Right Network. Listen to this podcast will kill you as part of the Exactly Right Network. On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, Abercrombie's new spring collection has every outfit you need for the season of long weekends, full of linen shirts, sweaters and coastal shorts designed to go from your desk straight to days off. For me, the collection's a must have are the baggy trousers with the casual fit and tailored look for endless versatility. Get your closet ready for spring plans. Shop Abercrombie in the app, online and in stores. Watch a little bit of Shohei Otani Japan against what, Chinese Taipei? Yep. And Ohtani hit a grand slam. You know, fans got what they wanted. It's USA versus Brazil today, and I think Brazil is getting like eight runs. I think that might be the spread here against Team usa. Usa. Jason Tatum expected to return for the Celtics tonight against the Mavericks. I saw Trey Young in a wizard uniform. And first of all, some of these uniforms, if you just tune, tune in and you don't know who's playing, you're like, who is that? And they had different uniforms and all of a sudden it's like, oh, oh, Trey Young's in the game. When you think about a guy who was averaging, what, 27 and 10, but nobody cared, like legit superstar on his way, you would think legit 100 he was. Even had like sort of that thing with the Knicks going on. Everybody's booing him or whatever. Like, oh, man, we really got something here. They went to the Eastern Conference finals a couple years ago, and he was legitimately averaging 27 and 11 or something like that, and you're like, those are superstar numbers. But it just felt hollow. Yeah. Pauling Trey Young's second year in the league, age 21. He averaged 30 and nine and a half and got his team well into the playoffs. I know. Shaq turns 54 today. Dear Patrick, on his 28th birthday, he scored 61 points, had 23 rebounds. On my house is 54, 000 square feet. So Shaq had asked the Clippers to provide free seats for his family and friends to celebrate his birthday. The Clippers said no. Following the game, Shaq said, don't ever make me pay for my tickets. He put up 61 and 23 rebounds. If you're the Clippers, don't you want. Well, maybe it was sold out because it was the Lakers, but Shaq wanted tickets for family and friends. Oh. Light NFL News, Adam Schefter is reporting. The Raiders are releasing quarterback Geno Smith. Oh. Barring a trade before the start of the new season, not a big surprise, but they gave up a third round pick to get him last year. They also owe him $18.5 million this upcoming season. Yes. Yeah. So next week you have Kyler Murray in play. Geno in play. Possibly two in play. Malik Willis in play, Aaron Rodgers. Okay, let's play the Aaron Rodgers game. All right. Can we get some music? And there it is. Dan. We played this game four different times at four different junctures last year. The Aaron Rodgers, what will he do? Game. Okay, here are your choices. On August 1st, Aaron Rodgers will be officially retired, unemployed, and waiting to get back in the league on a team. And you have to name the team working in the media or other. And you have to give other. Todd. Aaron Rodgers will be a Steeler back with Mike McCarthy from their Packer. Dude. He is saying there's some verbal bouquets that he is sending Mike McCarthy's way. Like, he's saying a lot of nice things about Mike, who just would happen to be his head coach if he came back to the Steelers. Seaton. I don't believe Aaron will be on a team. All right, Marvin. Other. He'll be a stay at home dad and husband. Well, he doesn't have any kids. He will. Oh, whoa. Okay. All right. That'd be a great call. We don't even know if he really has a wife, but, I mean, he could still have kids. Paulie, your answer. I think he's gonna be a Viking. Oh, I'm gonna say Aaron Rodgers is gonna take the route of Philip Rivers and help coach a high school football team. I don't think he's going into the media. I think if he goes into the media, goes into a Joe Rogan type media, he's not going into traditional media. I don't see that. And here in CBS today with James Brown and Aaron Rodgers and Coach Gower. And I don't see that happening. Yeah, I could see him coaching, doing something like that. Giving back to the community. Yes, Marvin. But when you say coaching, coaching high school, not NFL. Okay. Oh, God, no, no, no. High school. I could see that. Doug in Syracuse. Hi, Doug. What's on your mind today? Hi, Dan. For a question for you and the danettes, who was the first person, when you guys just started your career that made you starstruck. I would, I would say Bill Murray because I. Once again, when we did SportsCenter, I. We didn't know who was watching. We didn't know any ratings. They didn't really tell you anything. And if you got out and you went to a game, you went to the NBA Finals or you went to the World Series, then you might, you know, see some people and then they would recognize you. But we didn't get any feedback. We didn't know we're in a small town in Connecticut and we're doing sports at 11 o' clock at night. But I think when I met Bill Murray and realized that he was up on catchphrases and he, he knew things that we were saying on SportsCenter. Jerry Seinfeld, will Smith, Jordan. Jordan. In the early 90s. Yeah, there, I mean, there were, there were quite a few. There were more than you. You think, but I would say Bill Murray just because we ended up going out a few times. He got me into the Pebble Beach Pro Am two years in a row. And I would say that he would probably be that guy. Todd, what about you? The celebrity that maybe took your breath away. Other than Elway, I'd probably keep it. Denver. I was working on a show in LA and a couple days after they won the Super Bowl, I went to the lobby and there's Rod Smith and Ed McCaffrey standing there next to each other. That was obviously very exciting to me that I was able to get those guys to come to la. But we're talking about celebrities. Celebrities. There's no one that really stands out to me. I thought it was very cool through your relationship, I guess, with the Sandman. When we go out to dinners and the red carpet, there's like, wow, the fact that he was so nice and treated us like, you know, a buddy from the get go. So I'd say Sandman. What about you, Seaton? Yeah, I talked to Kobe on the phone once for about seven seconds and that was incredibly cool. He said my name and I said, I picked up the phone. We were at ESPN at the time. ESPN Radio. This is Patrick. He said, what's up, Patrick? It's Kobe. I said, hey, Kobe, how you doing? Chilling, chilling. All right, man, let me get down for you. All right. And then that was it. And I hung up the phone and I was like, holy crap. That was. Kobe just said it. What's up, Patrick? Chilling. Chilling. Oh, my gosh. That was awesome. Marvin starstruck Sorry. I know you did. You said, not athletes. Celebrity. Jalen Rose. I almost. I was almost in tears because you're a Fab Five guy. He's one of the reasons why I love basketball the way I do. Would you have been in tears if it was Chris Weber? Maybe. Okay. But I was. I was pretty close. I called my mom, and I was like, I can't even believe. Like, it couldn't have been nicer. Jalen Rose. And then Hank Aaron. I talked to Hank Aaron on the phone here. Okay. And he said my name just like Seon Paulie. There's so many. I'll give you two quickies. Patrick Ewing on set at the Final Four. I never thought I'd meet Patrick Ewing, and I just loved him growing up, and that was really cool. I didn't expect to meet him. We were doing the show at pebble beach years ago, and we tried for two years to get the actor Clint Eastwood on. And we get the heads up, Mr. Eastwood's on his way to the set. And I remember getting, like, sweaty, and he was so cool. And to meet him, you know, my dad's favorite actor, I was like, wow, Clint Eastwood's here. That's not someone anyone expects to meet. I went up and introduced myself to him. I said, Mr. Eastwood, I'm Dan Patrick. He goes, yes, you are. And he was eating. So he looked up to say, yes, you are, and then went back down, started eating again. But. But in the early stages of my career, I like John Thompson, Louis Carneseca, because I was covering the Big East. Don Mattingly, you had all the Mets there that you had the Giant. So, like. But celebrity, where you go, you know, Bill Murray back when he's doing all of those movies, you know, that was a big deal. Yes. That's like, one of the things that is so weird about when you first start working at ESPN is it really is sometimes, like, you're living in one of the commercials, but it's just a random Tuesday where you're. You are waiting in line to pay for lunch. And, you know, on one side is Jerry Stackhouse, and the other side is somebody dressed like the Oregon Duck. Like, oh, my God, this is. This must be how they figured out those commercials, because this is crazy. But you would go to work and you'd. You'd see, like, wrestlers. Like, yeah, you know, Triple H is here. And then Stone Cold Steve Austin. And you realize that a commercial was being shot there. Arnold Palmer on campus. Kobe, when he was really young, on campus with Keyshawn. Johnson. But that was fun, you know, where you just go, oh, hey, how you doing? Yes, Todd. Someone I met over the phone, which was extremely exciting to me because I went to a lot of Yankee games growing up. I had Reggie Jackson for a certain time. And I called and he's like, todd, I'm having lunch. So I said, well, you were supposed to come on the show. Can I, like, nervously said, can I call you back in like a half hour? He goes, yeah, I called back in exactly 30 minutes, staring at the clock, Todd, I'm still eating. And that was pretty much the extent of that. He didn't even come on that day. We were promoting him, like, all afternoon. Yes, Barb in Ireland, Will Ferrell. That was pretty cool that he went out of his way. I mean, first time. I mean, the picture of me and him is up in my house. But. But. But he paid for his flight over. There he was. And then he had to fly back because his father's birthday was on Friday. And he said, look, I. I probably can be there for three shows. And I go, awesome. I got. Okay, yeah, awesome. Went on the pub crawls with us. I know. Yeah. That's crazy. That was. That was crazy. I know. That was crazy. We were in that nook for. It might have been till like 4:30 in the morning. But he said, just treat me like I'm a Danette. And I said, okay. Because he said, you know, I don't want to be a guest. I'm going to be a Danette. That's all. And I just love that he came in and just acted like a Danette. Michael in Fort Wayne. Hi, Mike. What's on your mind today? Good morning, Dan. Thanks for taking my call. I'm just here to express my disappointment in the Dan s on this meat Friday. Are you guys a bunch of toddlers? What? You upset because you didn't get a plain hot dog or dinosaur chicken nuggets today? Dylan basically made chicken and rice and garlic bread. It's the most Caucasian version of Indian food you can get. You are grown men. Suck it up. Make a plate and expand your boring taste buds. Wow. Mike, shots. Yes. See, it's funny to me because when I hear people call in like that, like, he's basically upset about, like, you don't like mint chocolate chip ice cream? Oh, my gosh. Like, that's what I hear when I hear that. What? Yeah, I just don't like. I don't like pineapple on my pizza either. That doesn't make me afraid of food. I kind of hear what Michael's saying. You guys are soft. Expand. Expand your palate. That's all I'm asking for one day. We've had such incredible team building exercises in here and now it's all crumbling. The team building, lunch, all you can eat sushi. And that's a distant memory for some of us. It's not a memory at all. Yes, Marvin, but what if Fritzi has issues on the way home? I don't care. It doesn't matter what we have. Sound like a team leader. No, he has issues all the time for meat Friday. If he had those dinosaur chicken nuggets, it would be an issue. Whoever's running the mobile or the sunoco on my way home will definitely care. Trust me on that. You can't pay whoever's handling that enough money. Can you call ahead and make a reservation? Reservation, Fritz, party of one, please. They would have signs. Fritz. Keep going. Keep going. Nine miles up the road is. Let me show you to your seat here. There it is. They would not be handing me the key. Some dude wipes right here. Oh, here's Fritzi. Won't even let me get gas at some of these places anymore. No, you have your own. Just wanted to fill up my tank and get some chips. Nope. Keep going. Would you like somebody to go out and get you some mcnuggets? That would not be a bad thing. With sweet and sour sauce. I can do that. Little. Little six piece. Little. Okay, nine piece. Whatever. I'm gonna see if one of the back room guys can go get you some. Get like large fries and a quarter powder with that. Is that maybe. Are you okay with that? A quarter pound of no pickle large fries. I know. Yeah, we could do that. Okay. And chicken mcnuggets with sweet and sour sauce. If you're watching on peacock, come on out. We're in the kitchen and we're going to have our meat Friday. We're back after this Dan Patrick show.

Ever since I was a tiny boy I don't want no candy I don't need no thoughts I took a stick and it'll come again. Oh, we made it this far. Dylan made a great meat Friday. It didn't go over well with most of the man cave here. And then he actually went out and got McDonald's Happy Meals for Marvin seaton and Fritzi. That was very thoughtful of him. I wouldn't have done it. I would have just said, hey, suck it up. Try it or go home hungry. But I would have treated you like my kids. Hey, you don't like it, suck it up. Oh, I got something for you. Here. I just got this. Here you go. Betters in North Carolina were able to place their first legal sports bets on March 11th of 2024. So almost two years. How much have betters in the state of North Carolina gambled in those two years? With eight legal betting sites? Two years, North Carolina legalized betting. Paul $2.5 billion. Marvin $1 billion. Todd 930 million. Seaton 8750. $13 billion. $13 billion. 13 billion in North Carolina, with the state's eight legal operators, they got a problem. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards to the Dan Patrick show. Extrapolate and you could imagine what these other states are bringing in larger states. But North Carolina, two years, $13 billion. And that's legal. The legalized betting is $13 billion. There will be a second quarterback taken early, I think probably in the first round. But is that team, is that quarterback going to be the Rams And Ty Simpson out of Alabama. Here's Daniel Jeremiah, NFL draft analyst, on his Moving the Sticks podcast. I don't think this is a five year one Runway they have there. They're this close to winning a Super Bowl. Everybody expects that whenever Stafford moves on, there's a decent chance that Sean McVeigh moves on. So they're, they're, this is their time right now. And I have a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that you're going to use a precious resource. That could be the difference. They are a drop punt away from going to the super bowl last year, Buck. Yeah, like you could get a player at either of those first round picks. Could be the difference of you hoisting a Lombardi show if you're not. I can't wrap my brain around Sean McVay stamping that and saying, yeah, let's get a quarterback for the future. Oh, by the way, he's not going to be anywhere close to as talented as Stafford. And I might not even be here to coach him because I might be going and doing television at that point in time. As Daniel Jeremiah, former NFL scout, his Moving the Chains podcast, some people have suggested, what if I brought a happy meal to the cookout if I went to your neighborhood, Marvin, who's cookout? Yours. I went to your family and they had your car. Just keep it in your car. Well, no, you just brought. You got a Happy Meal into our Meat Friday. How would you feel if I said, oh, I'm not going to like the food you're going to have. I'm going to bring a Happy Meal then. It's just better that you don't show up. Okay, all right, well, maybe you don't show up for meat Friday. Why was it just on me? Yeah, I mean, Dylan brought it. Oh, I see. Okay. Black History Month's over. Okay, all right, I see what you. It is March. It is. First mo, now you. I mean, my goodness. I know. I did text Marvin on March 1st, and I said, man, that month went by quickly. Shortest month of the year, man. You consolidate all the contributions of Black Americans to 28 days. Yes. Here, guys, here. Gosh. March is. It's National Women's Month. I believe it is. Yeah. Let me see. How about a couple of phone calls here and then we'll do a this day in sports history. Oh, dear. Wayne in Virginia. Hi, Wayne. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan, longtime listener, love your show. £195, 5 11. I'm calling in today. I have ref high school basketball, soccer for 10 years, volleyball for five, and basketball for 30. And the thing about it is, the more you complain, the less I'm going to give you. I tell the coaches, I tell the players. I mean, come on. Every time you're complaining, and then when players realize that you're not going to give them calls, they kind of fall back. Then when they get a call, they said, well, we see where you're coming from. Yeah. It could be a teaching moment. I don't think they're teaching Luca, but maybe in high school, junior high, grade school. Robert in Sacramento. Hi, Robert. What's on your mind? Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. You know, I'm a little tired of these Laker fans, these soft Laker fans, complaining about Luca, complaining. They've been cheering on LeBron, who when he's playing and someone opens up the loading dock and the breeze comes in, he's crying that he was fouled. Now, I was going to say this was the softest thing I've ever seen until I saw you guys in the kitchen at the break. Dylan is the ultimate team builder, bringing Happy meals for those soft. Dennis, kudos to you and kudos to Paulie for manning up. And it looked amazing. Your boys are soft. Thank you, Robert. I agree. You know who is the softest person in the building? Mario. Mario. The director came in complaining, and I said, you know, get something on your own. Just go out. If you don't want it, that's okay, but stop whining. He was setting the tone. Yes, Marvin. So if you don't like something, you're automatically soft? Oh, yeah. In my opinion. Automatically? Yes, automatically. That team building thing went out the window real fast. I know it did. I know. It's a good thing there weren't any onions in any of that food because then it would have been out. There are onions. Didn't matter. Yeah. You just powered through. Yeah. Last Dylan got onions in there. Or I'll just put it to the side. But I'll still eat the meal. Out of respect. That's what I did. That's called being a leader, Todd. It is being a leader. I'm looking forward to my Chicken McNuggets and my French fries. I know you are. How many basketball games do we have today tonight? Division 1 basketball games. You could watch today with all the different quarterfinals. 67 games on TV, different places. The best one might be Miami of Ohio 30 and oh versus Ohio. Dan. Nice squad. The line's five and a half. That's 9:00pm Eastern on the deuce. Okay. It's a fun one. All right. St. John. Seton Hall. Later. Seton O'. Connor. Lightly saucy. Maybe not. Columbia. Harvard. Ivy League. Todd. Yes, Todd. And is it Miami Hyphen Ohio these days? Just Miami, Ohio. We're not the Hurricanes. Ohio. We're not doing that. That. Okay. We're not doing that. For somebody who had to have a Happy Meal you do not deserve. I'm very happy with my meal. To question somebody. How about you, Marvin? Are you still disrespecting Seton Hall? That's a big east matchup right there, dude. Wow. No. No. What in. In name only. What happened to us? What the heck is wrong. Wait. Why do you hate basketball? I don't. Why do you hate. I love the game. Very negative today. I am not negative. Yeah, you are. I am so positive. I'm building teams, okay? I test a positive with my blood. You don't want to go to the Super Bowl. Marvin, you're crazy. That is crazy. That is. Sorry. That is weird. I got to this day in sports history. Paul, he's got a couple for you. Dan. 1983, the USFL was formed. Three years later, it was over. Good time. The USF. I got to. I got to cover the entire United States Football League. Wire to wire. Wire to wire. I got. And the trial where they sued the NFL. I had to cover that as well. They had two great seasons when they got all those players. Yeah. And then the NBA game. San Antonio, Milwaukee, 171, 166, triple overtime. My kind of game. 1982, no defense. Let's go around the room, see if we learned anything. Todd, what'd you learn today? Turzo and Des Moines, Casey and Denver and Michael and Fort Wayne. Among those saying Indian food is fantastic. We should give it a shot and not be so soft. Seaton, how about you? Did you learn anything? I think the I learned that the topics of today are going to have legs. This is a day that will live on. This whole week, I think, is going to have legs. Marvin, flipping off the audience. The tragic fire that I had in my office here. That was this week? I think so, yes. I think Monday. I believe Big German saved my life. Sugar bear. Marvin, what'd you learn? Shaq had to pay for his own tickets for his family and friends. Oh, they're sad meals, not Happy meals. Trouble sleeping.

Episode Theme:
A chaotic and comedic "Meat Friday" in the Dan Patrick Show studio provides a backdrop for discussions about NBA news, memorable sports moments, status of young NBA players and prospects, Rodgers' future, and brushes with celebrity.

(Begins ~02:10)
Memorable Moment:
Anthony brings out a canister of Starburst, and the guys marvel that the “red and pink ones” are miraculously still available—usually snatched up first.

Michael in Fort Wayne: Skewers the Danettes for being “toddlers” about trying Indian food.

Jokes about Happy Meals at future cookouts, holding up team-building as a (wobbly) virtue.
(01:26:08)
Daniel Jeremiah clip (01:27:30): Rams are close to contending; drafting a QB for the future doesn't fit their "win now" window.
(01:36:10)
Whether discussing the NBA’s current stars and future prospects, speculating on Aaron Rodgers’ next move, or debating culinary bravery, the Dan Patrick Show’s third hour epitomizes sports radio as campfire: full of strong opinions, playful arguments, off-the-rails laughter, and a love of the games—and the food—that bring them together, even when garlic naan divides the studio.
