Summary of "The Dan Patrick Show" – Hour 3: Tony Reali, Pie to the Face

Introduction

In this engaging episode of The Dan Patrick Show, host Dan Patrick welcomes Tony Reali, the long-time host of ESPN's Around the Horn, to discuss the upcoming conclusion of Tony's 23-year tenure on the show. The conversation delves into the dynamics of sustaining a successful sports talk show, personal reflections on career longevity, and the emotional nuances associated with ending a significant chapter in their professional lives.

Tony Reali Announces the Finale of Around the Horn

The episode kicks off with Tony Reali announcing that Around the Horn will air its final episode on Friday after 23 years on air. Reali humorously refers to his departure as a potential midlife crisis, quipping, "the man who might be going through a midlife crisis" ([04:27]). This sets a lighthearted tone for what becomes a heartfelt discussion about his career and the show's legacy.

Reflections on Show Dynamics and Longevity

Dan Patrick and Tony Reali reflect on the factors that contributed to the show's longevity and success. Reali shares, "we did 50,000 topics over 23 years," highlighting the show's commitment to diversity and breadth in its discussions ([07:36]). They emphasize the importance of embracing varied perspectives, with Patrick noting, "The reality of the show being the most eclectic... diverse show in the history of the television medium" ([07:53]).

Creating a Scoring System for Around the Horn

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to devising a playful scoring system for Around the Horn. Dan Patrick introduces a creative approach to scoring panelists, focusing on the quality and relevance of their arguments rather than just statistics. He explains, "You may think ball, I gotta get some stats because Reali is a stat boy born, raised, and that would be a great way to do it" ([24:47]). This system encourages panelists to "prove why their opinion is best," fostering a more dynamic and engaging discourse.

Personal Anecdotes and Mutual Respect

The hosts share personal stories and express mutual respect, deepening the conversation's emotional resonance. Tony mentions the support he received throughout his career, while Dan reflects on his admiration for Tony's work ethic and likability. They discuss meaningful interactions with colleagues and the impact of their shows on their personal and professional lives, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared experience.

Jovial Interactions and Lighthearted Moments

Interspersed with serious discussions are moments of humor and lighthearted banter. An example includes Tony Reali joking about potentially "ravaging the set" of Around the Horn and Dan Patrick offering Tony a "mute button" as a gift ([37:26]). These interactions underscore the friendly rapport between the hosts and provide entertaining breaks within the conversation.

Closing Remarks and Future Aspirations

As the episode draws to a close, both hosts express optimism about the future. Tony Reali looks forward to the final episodes of his show, hinting at special guests and heartfelt farewells.

Oh, it's the final hour on this Monday. What a weekend. Starting with last Friday when we were in Atlanta. If you missed the first hour of the show, I recapped that, but I can't tell you how it played out the results when we were on Celebrity Family Feud. I will say Fritzi was awesome and Marvin was very entertaining. And then Paulie and Seaton and myself, we just tried not to embarrass ourselves. But we'll let you know when that episode is going to air. But a lot of fun and seeing the Rich Eisen show as well. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the program. And recapping just a little bit here. No NBA, no NHL tonight. Paulie, where's the schedule maker? Why do we have a Monday with nothing going on here?

[Dan Patrick]

We need a schedule ombudsman for all sports. This. This can't happen.

[Tony Reali]

No. No. All right, so we'll get the phone calls. Best and worst of the weekend. Seaton, update the poll results, and then we'll get to Tony Reali. Around the horn host.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, we got two of them up there right now. Which player will get the biggest stardom boost from making the NBA finals right now? Anthony Edwards has 33% of that vote, followed pretty closely by Shea Gilgis Alexander and Tyrese Halliburton. Jalen Brunson in last there.

[Tony Reali]

The Senior PGA Championship next Saturday and Sunday on NBC. And Peacock, we make way for a man who might be going through a midlife crisis.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, you know it. You know it, Dan.

[Tony Reali]

Mr. Energy himself, Tony Reali. After 23 years, ESPN's Round the Horn will air its final show coming up this Friday.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you for the. For the pub there.

[Tony Reali]

Great to see.

[Dan Patrick]

It's great to see you. He's. He's talking about how I entered into the room just three minutes ago and I said I was going through a midlife crisis. Like people do. They buy motorcycles. I don't buy motorcycles. I dress like I Drive a motorcycle.

[Tony Reali]

Dan, you got the bomber. Yeah, I know there's pads in there. Oh yeah, you got.

[Dan Patrick]

In case I roll.

[Tony Reali]

You got padded. You got shoulder pads.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, shoulder pads.

[Tony Reali]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

I always wanted bigger shoulders, you know, but, but.

[Tony Reali]

Well, you've carried the network for tour.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you very much. I think I took it right from you. I mean that, that's, that's part of why I needed to come here today, Dan.

[Tony Reali]

Okay, but I'm serious though, with a midlife crisis of. It's a mid career crisis of.

[Dan Patrick]

I wouldn't call it a crisis. I feel amazing. I feel absolutely amazing. I feel, I feel energized and optimistic. And I know I can say this now after 23 years of being on TV and carrying a show, but of being somebody who for his whole life wants to please people and wants to be that guy, the energetic, kindest guy I can be. I can, I can be proud of myself too. And I know 23 years of 5000 episode television doesn't come available on the market often. So looking forward, there's, there's no crisis. I'm, I'm feeling great.

[Tony Reali]

How were you told that it was coming to an end suddenly, then gradually.

[Dan Patrick]

As all the good things. I read an article in the New York Post, my hometown paper, occasionally printed in English. Uh, and that was the first I heard that it was a possibility. Made a few calls to the people, of course, that I love and we'll suss it out. And that's when I heard, no, we don't know where that came from. And we all know what that means. It came from somewhere. So, yeah, so that was over the summer of last year. I had my people look at things like ratings as if that might matter or something like that. We were up, we were doing great. So I wasn't really worried. But you know, once that stuff's toothpaste is out of the tube, you know what it is, so.

[Tony Reali]

Okay. But do you sense the show is heading in a different direction? You know, that, that, you know why it got canceled? It's such a great show. And it felt like, was there too much money being spent or was it.

[Dan Patrick]

Too woke too much money elsewhere? I mean, there certainly wasn't money. I get, I can, I can tell you that. I mean, the woke has. It's a fine headline to write. I don't believe what that is. I honestly think we did 50,000 topics over 23 years. You're going to tell me 10 or 15 drew an eyebrow up, I'll be like, yeah. I mean we were doing some complex topics from time to time. I don't mute people in FaceTime, so maybe there's two or three there that didn't have the back and forth you would want. Maybe there's one or two I would take back if you asked me. Those aren't my regrets. Not at all. So the reality of the show being the most eclectic and it's not a negative word for me. Diverse show in the history of the television medium. We got people 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, all on a level playing field. We have men, we have women, all on a level playing field. You're going to tell me that that's not never going to be a negative to me, Even though times have changed and things are viewed differently now. I know the people who were part of our show are getting other jobs at our network front facing jobs, wonderful jobs that are at our highest properties.

[Tony Reali]

But I can't imagine with your excitement, your enthusiasm, your energy, you go into management.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Tony Reali]

And can't convince them.

[Dan Patrick]

I said, let me play it however you see it. I can get rid of the mute button if that's. If you don't like the game show element, I can. We'll bring in switchers, we'll bring in athletes every now and then. But I believe the show is based on. And the bones of the show is journalism. And when this one goes away, there ain't any more because I love Tony and Mike. They're not riding in the Washington Post on Deadline tomorrow. Bill Plasky is. Tim Kalashaw is. Right now we might. Tim Kalashaw is going to be working hard to be on the finale of around the Horn, the show. He gave his blood, sweat, tears and sobriety too. He went straight to sobriety while doing the show. One of the most proud things I can say of our show is the growth that we've all been able to have through the support of each other. He's going to be either in Edmonton, you know, or Dallas for this because again, the ombudsman of the schedule. Can we get an NHL schedule out earlier? But imagine he's in Edmonton and I'm having a. A rogue camera shoot him. He's shooting it on an iPhone. All right, Tim, nice, nice career you had with us. See you later.

[Tony Reali]

But these were suggestions that you had.

[Dan Patrick]

I mean, I threw them out to my immediates. The great Eric ride home and Aaron Solomon. And I also then had a chance after some time to convey them to some people or at least put my words out there. I mean, these were conversations I wanted more of.

[Tony Reali]

Okay, but mute button and ath. Maybe athletes.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I'm speaking, I'm speaking very frankly here. I would throw out the kitchen sink. I know what I can do on TV and it's not just a mute button and a scoring system. So I know I could host different shows for this network and I know they could want different shows. That's. I understand that part of it. I went through nine months where I did some education on myself and on the industry. How has the industry changed? Right. And I'm aware of things now that may be by product of me siloed away doing a show the way I only saw a fit. I know I had to carry a weight for 23 years. I respected that. I know 4,953 episodes doesn't happen by accident. Doesn't happen even. But somebody is also doing a podcast and a streaming show and, and covering games on weekend. I know what I needed to put to do that. So now I'm trying to, to imagine, well, what else could the network want? And I would love to have that conversation still.

[Tony Reali]

You're staying at espn.

[Dan Patrick]

I have a contract through the end of August and I am having many great. Yes, two months. The show. The show says goodbye Friday and I'm happy to have the next two months to talk to everybody and anybody in the world, including espn.

[Tony Reali]

But if, if you're. I was wondering about this that you, you did that. But were you going to do other things like Wilbourne does?

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah.

[Tony Reali]

I was ready.

[Dan Patrick]

I was in a place now where I wanted to get the home life where I wanted it to be. And I had done Good Morning America as a correspondent for. For some years. It was four years in total. It wasn't, you know, exactly where I thought it was going and I think they would say the same of me. But it was a very fruitful experience and educated in that way. So I have now Google documents full of game shows, kids shows, just because I wanted to stretch my personality out a little bit. But then, you know the same type of fare that I would love to make in TV and sports. Absolutely.

[Tony Reali]

Tony Realy for now, his business card reads around the Horn host until this Friday.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Tony Reali]

After 23 years.

[Dan Patrick]

I mean we are in. We have been in a similar position in our lives. I don't know exactly how you came to find out the big show was going wherever it's going. Right.

[Tony Reali]

Well, that's. Keith Olberman left.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Tony Reali]

And that only we were together five years and then I didn't have that epiphany until I turned 50 and I was sitting on the 6 o' clock sports Center.

[Dan Patrick]

Were you wearing a motorcycle jacket?

[Tony Reali]

I was not.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Tony Reali]

I was not doing that. But I remember I was throwing out to South Palantonio for whatever, and I just. It hit me like, what are you doing? Because I was doing the 6 o' clock sports center so I could spend more time at home. I'd work second shift for 15 years.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Tony Reali]

Four kids, young kids. And I just remember going, what are you doing? Like, I, I didn't want to be the, you know, that. Oh, my God. He's still doing Sports center even though it's a wonderful job. It's a young man's game.

[Dan Patrick]

I have people who tell me that, but I didn't feel that way, you know, like, okay, let's. Time to, to move on. You can do so many different things. And for me, I was taking it to the finish line. I was taking it back into port after going around the horn is what I was doing.

[Tony Reali]

Yeah, but sometimes it's viewed as a negative if you continue to do the same thing.

[Dan Patrick]

Precisely. The people in my life who love me were at least making that known to me, that you should be branching out more. I had a muscle in me that said, what's right is right, and we're going to. We're going to carry this one to the end. So in some ways, that's why I do feel amazing now I've had a chance. I'm not going to tell somebody whose last name is Patrick what an Irish goodbye is, but I've had an Italian goodbye. I've had six months of hugging people, coming into rooms, getting presents, giving presents, getting notes. I was not prepared, and maybe the network wasn't prepared for a press release that had 4 and a half million clicks on it. We're announcing incredible new parts of our network and the future of the industry and all these things. It's not seen four and a half million clicks. I, when I took. Came up for air after that first week when I found out and I was like, I said, I'm going to respond to everybody. And then I looked at the press Release, it was 4 million clicks. I'm like, oh, my goodness, what have I signed myself up for?

[Tony Reali]

Could you do a variation of around the horn?

[Dan Patrick]

Absolutely. I think there's gas in the tank for this. I like, this would have been the pitch if, if we were still having a conversation about extending. Sure. I mean, one of the great things about this industry, I grew up wanting to be, you Dan, this is why I made the drive out here. Anthony Reali calling the Yankees. I saw a hit piece you did with Don Mattingly. Right as far back as I could remember, I always wanted to be a sportscaster. All right, you know, you're doing Don Matt. I'm doing that. I want to be John Sterling. I want to be the guys who I had in my college who would come back and give speeches. Mike Breen, Michael K. Bob Papa, Chris Carino. That's every voice of the local teams I listened to growing up. Yeah, okay, that's Fordham University. So I knew what I wanted to do since I was a kid. I knew the whole way. And I have seen other people navigate one job and then the next job and the next job. I do think though, a refreshing of the show where you're talking to people. I got into this long story because I feel like young sportscasters. I would love to put them on. You know, they have their own YouTube page now. At 13, I had a Fisher Price microphone that went nowhere. There was no chord in it. And I was. I was you. For every history project, I would bring in the cardboard box, cut my head out and do Sports center to the big show. Talking about the Revolutionary War. We start today with Cornwallis. Oh, Cornwallis. How did he blow it in Yorktown? He came in there with. With the. The strategy, you know, and that sort of thing I was doing that was not always well received. There's a little bit out there for Mr. Matson and the Christian Brothers of New Jersey.

[Tony Reali]

If you said if you're gonna watch any. Any of these episodes.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Tony Reali]

Here's one episode that I'm most proud of. Is there an episode of around the Horn for Good or Bad or Ugly?

[Dan Patrick]

There's three or four in my head that stick with me. There was an April Fool's episode I did backwards. I workshop this on the walk to work. Talk about my. Our crew, Aaron Solomon and Josh Bard looking at me like I'm crazy, as they always do, but rolling with me, which I appreciate. So this was a Seinfeld hype episode where I did. I caught a paper toss. I said we were just on a 23 and a half hour break. I got the FaceTime to somebody. I scored the show from 37 down to zero. An entire backwards episode. But the debates were still the news of the day of sports and that this got workshopped in a three hour time frame. Amps was backwards. The E block was proud of that. I'm really proud of that. I would do that. You Know, for me, my evolution as a host and as a man was realizing feelings are superpower and where are feelings more prevalent than in sports? But let's also apply those feelings to your life and putting it on the stage. So having Woody Page come on and talk about depression, talking about the loss of my son in stillbirth and the birth of my son at the same time, that episode after Father's Day, that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Not because, you know, I did it and I knew I was intentional of how I want to do it and the reaction that came from that, I'm still getting notes, I'm still getting books sent to me, and vice versa. So that was connection. That's what I've realized was the goal all along.

[Tony Reali]

You know, when you talk about Cowlish Shaw's sobriety, Israel Goodyear is coming out.

[Dan Patrick]

I mean, these were all things. Now, again, you can write a headline and say, what is that game show on sports doing? It went too far. You can write or you could just say broadly, they had too many people. Well, yes, I like people. I wanted as many voices as possible. I'm going to tell you, it's a satire, Dan, now, all right? You can't score an argument, a sports argument. Nobody wins the sports argument. Much like life, what you get scored on one day changes the next day. What you do so well today may not work for you and you're home life or in this show tomorrow. And you're going to have to roll with this. This is how intentional and meta referential, honestly, I was doing when I was thinking about something as silly as the scoring of the show. So I wanted to be able to have any conversation at any time, but I got Tony and Mike after me. You got the same people every day. That's one go there for the same people every day on this show. We'll give you the opposite.

[Tony Reali]

I want you to score the show.

[Dan Patrick]

Let's go around the hole.

[Tony Reali]

I want you to do with the Danettes.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, I'm with them.

[Tony Reali]

And I want to know this scoring system and you know, and you pick the topics.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Tony Reali]

Okay. For the Dennis.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. So I'm sure we're really locked into the NBA playoffs right now.

[Tony Reali]

No, we. We're going to take a break.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, what, you take breaks on the show?

[Tony Reali]

Yes, we do. Yes. You got to pay me if that's.

[Dan Patrick]

What you want to do with your life. All right.

[Tony Reali]

It might be what you're doing with your life, too, at some point.

[Dan Patrick]

An infinity and a half hour break. Thank you, dad.

[Tony Reali]

How about we take a break? It's Tony Reali who will explain the scoring system. He will play around the horn coming up. That'll keep you in your car. We're back after this in the Dan Patrick show.

He dresses like he's in a motorcycle gang. He's got everything but the motorcycle. Yeah, you're with leather. Espn, around the horn. And the final show airs this Friday after 23 years. Okay, so I want you to be you and I want you to treat the Dan answers if they are writers and explain the system though the scoring system that you have.

[Dan Patrick]

Sure. Vibes would be one way to describe it. You know, everybody wants to. Wants to reach vibes. Now I'm looking for panelists not just to have an opinion. I'm looking for them to prove why their opinion is best. Right now. Prove it right now. You got to prove why your opinion's best. So you may think ball, I gotta get some stats because Reali is a stat boy born, raised, and that would be a great way to do it. But then if Fritzi were to come back and give stats on top of stats. Well, stats on stats. We're not doing that. Mute Fritzy. All right. And then Marvin's coming in and he's saying as the only panelist who watched this game or is the only panelist who was in the locker room is what I really. I was there. Frank Isola. I was there. That's another way to get points. So now we're proving it could be analytical, it could be experiential, it could be, you know, any number.

[Tony Reali]

What's a bad way to try to get points?

[Dan Patrick]

Mm, that's a good question. I have banned certain phrases from the show because people of our ilk. Never you, Dan. But I would say more. The Danettes have used them in a way that have rendered them meaningless. These are cliches. You want me to tell you now?

[Tony Reali]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Can I give you a little. Well, I'm going to give you partially of the list. Elite narrative optics. If we even approach any of those three words, you're. And then there's even one more that comes up quite often. It's when you use one sport and you bring in another sport to use your analogy. Because. Because you couldn't talk about this sport.

[Tony Reali]

Well, that's called first take.

[Dan Patrick]

Goodness, they're gonna get me canceled before the week's over. Well, yeah. I mean, I. I believe this to. If we're talking hockey, we're talking hockey. Don't you dare bring in, you know, Steph Curry or whatever to make your comp. Your comp. So. So that's another part of that. That. So those are the ban phrases. That's how you lose points. That's how you lose. Before we have this filter that I would stamp on there and there would be a siren, and then the panelists would stop talking in the middle of it because they thought, you know, they were getting pulled over in their studio or something. I don't know. So I didn't. I had to be more. Yeah. All right.

[Tony Reali]

Okay. So you give them the topic and then you'll judge them. Yeah. You'll give them points. Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

I heard it coming in. I think Brock Purdy was an interesting development in the NFL because we all know how we rank our top five and top 10 and top 15 quarterbacks. And we know about the success of the 49ers over the last five years, in part because of the structure of his salary as a rookie. So let's go around the horn on brock. Party. Brock. P's new deal at over 50 million per for Purdy. Around the horn, Paul. The 49ers had no choice but to sign him. He bailed them out of the Trey Lance situation. They haven't paid him yet. And he's good. Not great, but not bad enough to move on from. That's a terrible way to make an argument, Paul. Not great. Just leave it at good. He's good. All right, Fritzi, do I see you back there? Around the horn, Fritzi. Buy or sell? When did the San Francisco 49ers become the San Francisco Desperados? Are they like a UFL team now? How desperate can you Be to spend that kind of money? They didn't win a Super Bowl. How desperate are we that we're trying to get that USFL audience? You know, man, if you love sports in 1983, you're gonna love this take from Fritzi.

[Tony Reali]

Yeah. Welcome to my show, Tony.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, Seaton, what do we got? I love what the 49ers did here. They gave their quarterback a fair competitive salary. That's not going to reset the market. So he doesn't have the pressure of explaining this gigantic salary right now. Plus, they got it done before preseason. They got it done before any of.

[Tony Reali]

Those questions are going to be asked about the extension.

[Dan Patrick]

So when are you signing? Are you going to sign? Are you happy with money? Good, but manageable. Ding, ding, ding. Money is front loaded, up top. These are all winners for this. For this team. Dink, dink, dink, dink, dink. Marvin around the horn. You love the Brock Pie contract. First of all, he saved John Lynch's job as general manager for all those trade picks to go up the.

[Tony Reali]

For Trey, Lance.

[Dan Patrick]

And then, you know what? Think maybe Marvin, Keep going. Oh, okay. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.

[Tony Reali]

Yeah, he can. He can give you that facial.

[Dan Patrick]

We got the commercial break. Really good. Hey, yeah, Sorry, sorry. Love it for the 49ers. They got their franchise quarterback. Let's keep it rolling, okay. You don't just score with the Dinks and the Doinks and the mute. You score with your face. I'm. I'm a face scorer. Right? The listening face, Dan. You know, the listening face.

[Tony Reali]

Oh, of course.

[Dan Patrick]

And then, you know. Okay, so. Well, there were some passionate arguments there, though. Marvin kind of rolled off there at the end.

[Tony Reali]

Marvin, you froze.

[Dan Patrick]

It's all right. It happens when the lights on. Yeah, the noises sometimes threw me off. Sorry. Today's champion and winner, Seaton. FaceTime. Get 30 seconds of FaceTime. See? Now let's see if you have a second gear. You can talk about anything you want in FaceTime. Seaton.

[Tony Reali]

Crystal palace winning the FA cup was.

[Dan Patrick]

Huge for the American soccer audience. Chris Richards is a starter in that back line. He is also an owner of a USL championship team in Birmingham Legion.

[Tony Reali]

That's exactly the kind of momentum that you need heading into the World cup in the United States next year. Vamos, boys.

[Dan Patrick]

Let's go. This is incredible. Wow. I'm a fly. If I had a piece of paper right now. I don't want to take one of your scripts. Yeah, Let me see what I got.

[Tony Reali]

Here you go. There you go. You can throw it right at Weeks, my camera.

[Dan Patrick]

Here we go, Weeksy. Let's see. Ready? We're on a 23, but soon to be infinity and a half hour break. We'll see you tomorrow, maybe. Around the Horn. The thing about the camera hit the lens is everything. I've hit the camera 80% of the time, but when you don't hit the lens, it doesn't look like it, you know, not that I'm explaining this.

[Tony Reali]

What kind of athlete were you?

[Dan Patrick]

Not a great one. I. I was a passionate one, but I didn't grow until I was 18 years of age. So I may have been the best soccer player at 8 and a good baseball player at 9. And it was over for me pretty early on, which is how you become stat boy. That and not going on a date for your entire high school career is how you learn about the encyclopedia. And once again, I tell you, I mean, I mean my bit. Wearing around a cardboard box, pretending I'm you, you know, it doesn't go over so great at the school dance, you know.

[Tony Reali]

Tony Reali, host of around the Horn, the last episode on Friday. Do you know what you're going to say at the end of Friday show?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. I felt this way for a few months even.

[Tony Reali]

Have you practiced this?

[Dan Patrick]

Not yet. I may. I think I will. I know what I'm going to be doing in the first three minutes of the show, and that's what I'm very excited about. I've already got. Bought the music script, you know, and procured the music. And I have a very special guest coming by the studio too. That means something to, to me and my family, and I'm excited for that. And I think a lot of people know a little about me, may know where I'm going with those first three minutes of, of walking onto the set and then I'm gonna, you know, the back end of the show. I think I'm gonna explain the scoring system. I think I'm finally. I think finally. And. And the stats are important to me. I came in a stats boy. I'm gonna show the final stats of around the world.

[Tony Reali]

I wondered though, you know, Tony and Mike labeled you stat boy.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Tony Reali]

And I. Sometimes it's hard to get out of that. Oh, you're just stat boy, right?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. It's like being a marine. Once you're a Marine, you're always a Marine. Once you're stat boy, you're always a step. I don't. I don't. I was called Bambi when I was playing college rugby. Bambi. Yeah, that's not a great name. No, not for a rugby player. And I was all right with that because two career tackles would prove that I ran away from action. No, I, I, this is just about connection. I, that people call me stat boy in the street today. It happened yesterday. Or more specifically, you know. Yeah. And I'll, I'll carry that one to the end. Sure.

[Tony Reali]

Anybody get really upset with the mute button?

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, sure. Jay Marioti got very upset with the mute button for his 10 years on the show. There have been times I know how to take the temperature of even, you know, some of our greats. You know, Woody Page. It's good to give a call to people if I can say anything. Check in with your people. You know, you're, you're doing. I'm trying to make a moment on tv. He's trying to make a moment on tv. I feel like I'm being the most authentic real reality, but I know that rubs everybody in a certain way. Some days my energy's too big. Some days. So we've had conversations even the last two years, not, not Woody specifically, but me and some panelists. I'm like, yeah, maybe I overstepped there, that you know where my heart is, but that's on me. And you got to make that phone call.

[Tony Reali]

Ever objected to anything that Woody put on his chalkboard?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, he certainly got us in trouble once. He put a 1, 900 number up there. Now, this was a time when they're. Once again USFL, baby. This was a time when they're 1, 900. Numbers usually came on at about 11 o' clock at night, and they were telling you about, oh, the sexiest time you're gonna have of your life over a telephone. Well, Woody put on a number that said 1, 900. Some, some three letters. H, O, R, N. The name of our show. The name of our show, maybe even in the UK would come off in a different way. Right around the horn suggests something a little bit different over there. So, in fact, that phone number did take you to a number for sexy time. Did Woody know this? I think we know Woody a little bit. I think he knew this. Did any of us know this? No. But that's what happened that one time. Yeah, that. The true story.

[Tony Reali]

You ever get brought on the carpet by management?

[Dan Patrick]

Not once. Never.

[Tony Reali]

Then you weren't doing. You weren't.

[Dan Patrick]

I wasn't doing it right.

[Tony Reali]

You were not.

[Dan Patrick]

I told you, if I have a regret, it's that I didn't bang the drum about how strong our show was doing or. And And I mean, somebody said recently, controversy, this show, never in a million. We had two, three articles written about us saying that topic was too far. Fine. Never once was that the case. I got two conversations in 20 years of keep on doing what you're doing. That was the, that's the entirety. And again, there's pros and cons to this. I, there's David Letterman, of course, another idol of mine, interviewed Warren Zevon, his favorite musician at the end of his life. And he says very heartfully on the show, well, maybe going to a doc, never going to a doctor for all those 70 years was a bad strategy. Maybe not check it in about, you know, in anything. I want more. I want this. We need this. We demand more. I want to see us on ESPN.com because we are the second highest rated show on the daily schedule. I wanna, I want my YouTube page back. Where'd my YouTube page go? I had a YouTube page 10 years ago. We were operating on that in a high level and it went away. Keys were taken away for that. And now YouTube is something that of course, this, this network should want.

[Tony Reali]

Yeah, but you're a pleaser, so you don't want to disrupt.

[Dan Patrick]

Precisely. And, and then I'm the guy who's going to be creating a movie every single day, you know, where I'm, I'm getting, you know, so I'm lost in a, in a silo of an edit suite, you know, trying to think about how that topics can go best that day.

[Tony Reali]

I overheard you say that you brought gifts.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I mean, these are very little. In the past I brought cannoli and schwoidal. Because you were in New York.

[Tony Reali]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

And I wanted to show tribute to New York is an Italian pastry from Naples that kind of looks like a, like a, a big overflowing metastasized ear or something. And the cannoli, we all know this is different. You know, I have some friends who.

[Tony Reali]

Have you been to Naples?

[Dan Patrick]

I haven't been to Naples.

[Tony Reali]

No.

[Dan Patrick]

No. Okay, that's, you know, that's something that may be available to us. My family's from Naples and Reggio de Calabria. We've done other parts of Italy, but that's going to be, that's going to be next.

[Tony Reali]

But now a show called around the Boot.

[Dan Patrick]

How incredible is that? That's great, right?

[Tony Reali]

Yeah, Tony, Tony Reali's around the Boot.

[Dan Patrick]

Bourdain for sports is available too. It's available to all of us right in the world. You know, I mean, why aren't we doing Anthony Bourdain for sports. You want to do a heartful show. You want to show how sports unites people.

[Tony Reali]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

That's.

[Tony Reali]

Who's taking the scoring system.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm hoping to get a gift for everybody who works on the show. That will be the literal screen that you might have seen, but your scoring system.

[Tony Reali]

I'd love to at least offer up the man cave as sort of the sports equivalent of the Smithsonian.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I can get you a mute button. I can. I can get my hands on a mute button. I'm going to whittle it down and send it to people who inspired me in the business. And you're at the very top of that list. So let's do that.

[Tony Reali]

How about we just ravage the set?

[Dan Patrick]

I'm not a collectibles type of guy. Yeah, yeah, I noticed.

[Tony Reali]

Yeah, you can tell. But, you know, I. I had this suggestion for David Letterman on the final episode. They should have been dismantling the set around him.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Tony Reali]

During this.

[Dan Patrick]

I thought about that.

[Tony Reali]

During the show. I do have a cone of silence here, if you'll notice. Over Fritzi.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. That. That belongs there. After that USFL take.

[Tony Reali]

That's my. My version of the mute button is I. And Fritzi freaks out because he gets claustrophobic. Get a little hot in here.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Tony Reali]

All right. So you brought gifts.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I brought gifts because it's important me to show tribute.

[Tony Reali]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

When I work with Letterman. I'm sorry. Now when I work with Overman. I. I stopped by his office today. You know, his show was on at the same time as around the horn and got him something that was his favorite player growing up. You know, this is nothing like that.

[Tony Reali]

Okay. Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

Some tasty little treats. Chocolate covered Oreos.

[Tony Reali]

Oh, okay.

[Dan Patrick]

And the best part of a s' more without, you know, no marshmallow, guys.

[Tony Reali]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

That's from Zabars, which is a New York institution as well.

[Tony Reali]

Well, look what we got. Nobody's more excited than Fritzi.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. That looks fantastic. Yeah.

[Tony Reali]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

You always, always bring something.

[Tony Reali]

Would you like to guest host this show one day?

[Dan Patrick]

Absolutely. Thank you very much for asking. Yes, of course. Of course.

[Tony Reali]

All right.

[Dan Patrick]

Can we make that. Do you know a guy?

[Tony Reali]

Yeah, yeah, me.

[Dan Patrick]

It would be an honor. I would. I would make the drive up. Where am I now? Oh, no. Yeah.

[Tony Reali]

Or you could just take the train.

[Dan Patrick]

I hadn't considered that.

[Tony Reali]

Grand Central. Take the train.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tony Reali]

Next.

[Dan Patrick]

It would be my honor and privilege, I bet.

[Tony Reali]

But we'll let you decide who you want on.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't think you Want to do that?

[Tony Reali]

Oh, yeah, I know we're going to.

[Dan Patrick]

Be doing a Sopranos reunion. You're going to want to be talking sports.

[Tony Reali]

Well, it's good you do it, since I never saw an episode.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, I know that's about you. Yeah. Or maybe it'll be my motorcycle club by that time. I'll see.

[Tony Reali]

My wife's Italian. We don't. We don't even joke about the mob. It doesn't come up.

[Dan Patrick]

You're missing out on all the good stuff. It's really. It's such. It's a human show. Much like around the Horn was about. About feeling.

[Tony Reali]

So we're not.

[Dan Patrick]

You watch Goodfellas. I saw. I saw when you walk in.

[Tony Reali]

Finally watched it. Oh, you got your Ray Liotta.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, Yeah. I mean, I walk around this every day and I take pictures of people and I. And I. And they look at this and they smile immediately. Right. This is a. You know how many photos I have in my phone, Dan? 395, 000. You know how many favorites I have? 57, 000. So if you really want to pare it down quickly.

[Tony Reali]

Oh, my God.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, we just did the photo outside. I took like. Yeah, I mean.

[Tony Reali]

Okay. When are you going to put that photo up?

[Dan Patrick]

I mean, it could be up whenever you want. It's. It's. It's your photo.

[Tony Reali]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

This is my gift to you.

[Tony Reali]

We.

[Dan Patrick]

I would hope you blow it up to like six by six feet.

[Tony Reali]

No, we'll put it. If we reenacted the LeBron James Dwayne.

[Dan Patrick]

Wade, where I came in here with an idea, as I always like to do, and I wanted dan to be LeBron, and I was happy to be Dwayne Wade in the foreground. And. And I wanted Dan dunking.

[Tony Reali]

How about we just. We post it now?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, this. Now that we've set it up in this enormous way, I hope the composition is nice.

[Tony Reali]

I'll take your mute button.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Tony Reali]

I won't use the mute button.

[Dan Patrick]

No. But you'll have one on the set.

[Tony Reali]

But I. I want you to take me up on the offer of guest hosting one day.

[Dan Patrick]

I. I would appreciate that.

[Tony Reali]

Love. You know, and if you get down in the dumps and, you know, you don't have a job.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Tony Reali]

You can always, you know, call me up.

[Dan Patrick]

My dumps look different than other people's dumps. You know, I was born. What are we doing? Well, now that I said it like that, a lot of kale. But no, I was talking about. I grew up in Staten island for my first five years. We know dumps.

[Tony Reali]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

All right.

[Tony Reali]

Yeah. My wife is from st.

[Dan Patrick]

I know this about us. Yes. And, and of course I'm going to stop off at the shop now that I'm in the neighborhood. We're going to. We're going to delay around the horn so I could stop off at the shop, get some creamery.

[Tony Reali]

All right. Great to see you.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you.

[Tony Reali]

Have fun on Friday.

[Dan Patrick]

I think I will. I think I'm going to have a.

[Tony Reali]

Lot of fun and hopefully it's what you. You want it to be.

[Dan Patrick]

There will be no other way.

[Tony Reali]

Good. Good. Because it'll be. There's always people tell you how you should do it. You need to do it how you want to do it. There's a big difference in that. The final episode around the horn on Friday. He's Tony Reali. And good luck with life.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you. I'm not dying. This is not even Tom Sawyer attending his own funeral. This is not that.

[Tony Reali]

All right. I just, you know, sometimes it feels like a death.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. I mean, I can a little bit. I can recognize what that is, but there's a fullness to it as well. Again, 4953, you can say it's canceled. It's being sunset. All right. It's being put out. But it's not. I mean, come on. It's more than Oprah Winfrey and David Letterman and Jerry Springer. We did. All right.

[Tony Reali]

We'll take a break. Back after this Dan Patrick show.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this?

[Tony Reali]

Last call for phone calls. What we learn what's in store tomorrow. A lot of fun. Tony is like that. I was in Brooklyn, New York, and I'm walking on the streets with my. My son, and all of a sudden I can hear the voice. And all of a sudden you happen upon Tony Reali and it is a. It's the Tony Reali experience. A lot of energy. And I reached out to somebody at Sony after, you know, Alex Trebek had passed away, and I said, look, Tony Reali would be awesome for that, that show. Awesome. I don't think they ever reached out to him, but I thought that of all the potential hosts, he would have been a great, great Jeopardy Host.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Paulie, he's obviously a good host. Very good host and knows his sports. But the currency he has is likability. I mean, energy and likability. And there's not too many people on air with that.

[Tony Reali]

James in Virginia, speaking of likability, James, we got your video of your wife smashing you in the face with the pie paying off the bet. So thank you for sending that to us.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, that was definitely her best of the weekend, for sure. Thank you for taking my call. DP Dan that salute the commanders, man, what a Great weekend of sports. What a great year in sports. Let me just say this first, man. That was an amazing radio you guys just did with Tony Reality. Make sure you eat up them swigger Dells. One of my favorite Italian pastries. But just love the the back and forth with you two. You guys had great symmetry the whole way through, man. How about the New York Knickerbockers? I should have never went against my squad. I believed in the Bucks. My wife told me she was like, babe, you gotta start running some of these ties to the face. But she just loves hitting me with a man. How about the amazing worst of the weekend? Dropping two or three to the Bronx Bombers. Giving up 17 runs, man. But still having one of the best season in franchise history. Hopefully they can make it to the NLCS and it'll just be all around. Great sports year for me and myself and I man. So I love you guys. Thanks for always being so great, man. And salute the commanders, man.

[Tony Reali]

Thank you, James. James in Virginia, if you're watching on Peacock, you can see his wife is ready to smash him in the face with a pie. Paying off a bet this day in sports history. Paul, just got a couple for you, please.

[Dan Patrick]

Cy Young 1910 of the Cleveland Indians got his 500th career win. 500th. That seems pretty safe.

[Tony Reali]

And then he won one more. I think he ended with 511.

[Dan Patrick]

Yep. 1935. The NFL adopted the annual college football draft to begin in 1936. And let's see. Boston Red Sox retired Bobby Doris, number one in 1988.

[Tony Reali]

Secretariat on this day wins the Preakness and a record time. 154. 1984, the Oilers beat the Islanders to win their first Stanley Cup. Let me see. Oh, on this date in 2015, NFL announced it's moving the extra point kicks back and allowing defenses to score on conversion turnovers. By the way, the tush push NFL owners meetings. I'm going to find out if it's going to pass when I talk to somebody this morning. They didn't think the language was strong enough for the owners to outlaw it. And I didn't know. I wasn't quite sure the language or how they're going to write the rule up maybe wasn't as strong as it needs to for them to outlaw this. Oh, we might be. I thought they were going to get rid of it. It just felt like that everybody wanted to get rid of it because it's not a football play. Jordan in Peoria. Hi, Jordan. Thanks for holding. What do you have for me hey, Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

Nothing exciting. Just plays great. Greg Maddox, like you. Go. Yeah. Doesn't say much now. Nothing that's flamboyant, but it's. It's great. Do we have any Scotty Scheffler there? Marvin?
