Corey Alexander
Knicks and Pacers Saturday night in Indiana. The Knicks are four point underdogs. Corey Alexander been doing a great job calling the action on ESPN Radio. He's a college basketball analyst as well. Played seven seasons in the NBA and he'll continue his coverage Tomorrow night, game six starting at 7:30 Eastern on the mothership. Corey, the level of concern for Pacer fans, Pacer players is what in your opinion?
- [03:19]
Unknown
I believe it's probably about a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 right now, Dan. And the reason being is because, you know, Tyrese Halliburton was so lackadaisical in last night's game. And it's something that we've seen from Tyrese Halliburton throughout his playoff career the last two seasons. And you don't, there's no reason, there's really no rhythm to it. It's just some days it's he's not the same player. Especially coming off a historic performance, 32, 15 and 12 with zero turnovers in game five. You would expect it to see him be more aggressive on the road. They didn't see that. But I do believe he will see it tomorrow night in game six, which that's why the concern is only a five.
- [03:59]
Corey Alexander
I don't know if this is a big deal. It felt like somebody was or some people are trying to make it a big deal. Pascal Siakam postgame said they played harder than the Pacers. Like you can say they executed better. But in a game five with a chance to go to the NBA Finals, a team played harder than you.
- [04:20]
Unknown
But it was the case. He told the truth and oftentimes, you know, that's the thing we ask players to be honest. He told the truth. And the Knicks did play harder. The Knicks played with a sense of urgency and a sense of desperation and the Pacers played as though they knew they had another opportunity to be able to close it out on their home floor in the Game six. And Pascal Siakam was spot on. The Knicks did play harder. It may not be something that you want to hear from your teammate in the locker room, but at the same time, everybody in the locker room that was part of that game can look each other in the eye and say it's the absolute truth. The Knicks did play harder than we did tonight.
- [04:52]
Corey Alexander
Tougher to, to defend Halliburton or Brunson.
- [04:56]
Unknown
Tougher to defend Brunson. And the reason being is because Brunson, regardless of whether he's making shots, he's missing shots, whatever it may be, he is constantly going to stay aggressive. He's going to continue to come at you every opportunity he gets. And more importantly, Jalen Brunson, it doesn't matter who's on the floor. He could be playing with Michael Jordan. And when it's all said and done, when Jalen Brunson steps on the basketball court, he thinks he's the best player on the court. And he was last night.
- [05:23]
Corey Alexander
Yeah, I'm fascinated by just his style. It's relentless. He just keeps coming. You know, it's, it's all, it's always going forward and I love that. I just don't know the rest. You know, Carl Anthony Towns played pretty well. He seemed, it seemed pretty mobile for a guy that was, you know, I guess had a questionable knee going into that game last night.
- [05:44]
Unknown
Yeah, he was very mobile. And when you consider Carl Anthony Towns and he really gets his opportunities to start the second quarter, start the fourth quarter when Jalen Brunson is on the bench. But with the new starting lineup that Tibbs has employed over the last three games, Jalen doesn't have as much spacing, which makes the three point field goal so much more important for him. He got off to a hot start knocking down threes in that first quarter. 14 first quarter points. I believe he had 16 in the third quarter. I'm not sure if he scored the second or the fourth, but when you think about the second and the fourth along the cat, they have a great rotation in the way that they're doing things offensively. And it worked in game five. The problem is the Pacers know that. Will it be able to work for the Knicks in game six on the road?
- [06:28]
Corey Alexander
Why is it you think we in the media try to fast track somebody to be face of the face of the sport or the next great player or is, is he a superstar? A lot of these players we're talking about are 23 to 27 years of age. It's like we don't give you that, that grace period before, you know, Michael Jordan had a grace period and you know, Bird and Magic, everybody kind of got a grace period. We don't let these younger players now, like Cooper Flag coming in. How long is his grace period before we say I don't know. Can you win the win a title here? Why do we do it?
- [07:07]
Unknown
We do it because. And Dan, you've been in this industry much longer than I have. Believe it or not. I was with you in the gym. I believe it's Concord Athletic Club back in San Antonio getting shots up back in the day. So you've been doing this for a long time. And the difference is I can tell say that my company, you know, or our company be at Disney is going to pay $2.8 billion next year for rights to the NBA. Which means that it's not about the games, it's about content. And so from 7am to 11pm you have to talk about the game. And therefore there have to be things to talk about. That's the difference in today's game in comparison to when I was playing in the NBA and even before. When you're talking about there has to be some type of conversation to keep the viewers watching and keep them off of social media and keep them watching tv. So when you think about that, that's the reason why we it again, it's constant. And not not only that, but these guys don't necessarily care about being the face of the NBA anymore. And the reason being is because when Michael Jordan was playing then you had to be the face of the NBA to become a billionaire with these contracts. Now you don't have to be. Anthony Everest can be a billionaire without being the face of the NBA after just three contracts and of course everything that he gets off the court.
- [08:24]
Corey Alexander
Talking to Corey Alexander, ESPN radio analyst and he'll be calling game six on the mothership. That'll be at 7:30 Eastern on Saturday. How was my jumper by the way, in San Antonio?
- [08:35]
Unknown
I am calling to vouch for you, my man. You actually can shoot the basketball. I believe it was Vinny Del Negro in there with you. I'm not sure you had another one of your anchors, maybe Overman. I know it wasn't Stuart Scott, but I think it was maybe Overman with you. And it was Benny Del Negro myself, I'm not sure. Dale Dimps I know was in there, but you can shoot the basketball, man. If anybody ever questions it, tell them to come see me. I've seen it with my own two eyes. You were knocking down shots that day.
- [09:02]
Corey Alexander
Thank you, I appreciate that. And you're a great journalist is what you are. I think I'm a better deep shooter than Vinnie Del Negro. Vinnie was a great 15 to 18ft but he didn't come out to where Grown men shoot.
- [09:15]
Unknown
Vinnie was a master of the mid range. That was his game. But I agree. And I used to talk to him all the time in practice. I was like, come on out here in the deep water, get out of the kiddie pool. He wanted no problem with that. But in the kiddie pool, he's one of the best to ever do it.
- [09:29]
Corey Alexander
Best shooter you ever faced?
- [09:31]
Unknown
The best shooter I've ever faced. I'm going to go as far as to say his name is now Mahmoud Abdul Rau. He was once Chris Jackson, but you're talking about one of the best of the best. And again, the dude was relentless. He had the best touch. You know, he was so locked in on making every possible shot and it was so quick, honestly. And again, you know, Steph Curry is my nephew. I love him to death, Dallas like a big brother to me, Chris Jackson was Steph Curry before Steph Curry. The way the game has changed has allowed for Steph Curry to be able to do what he's doing. If you couldn't hand check Chris Jackson, Mahmoud Abdul Rahul, if you couldn't be physical with him, the way that the game is played now, I'm not saying that he would have been step, but he would have been very close to what we've seen Steph do over the last 10 years.
- [10:25]
Corey Alexander
You want to talk about getting a shot off, like, you know, when, when he would, his handle was wonderful. And when he was at LSU and he was averaging 30 a game, you know, we didn't, you had Shaq and Stanley Roberts, but the best player was, you know, 6ft tall in Chris Jackson. But in today's game, you imagine today's game with Chris, you know, just so quick at getting that shot off, so.
- [10:50]
Unknown
Quick at getting the shot off, but so quick in general because as you mentioned the handle, then he hit me with a between the legs crossover one time and I watched it on the Jumbotron and I went off the screen completely. You couldn't even find me. And he just absolutely lost me. But the thing is, in that era, and we're going Back to this is 96, my rookie year playing against him, you had to be able to defend. And that's the reason why he didn't get as many minutes. He didn't get as many opportunities because he struggled defensively. In today's game, where they often find ways to hide guys who lack or defensive end and you can keep them on the floor for 35 to 40 minutes. If he had that type of, I mean he had that Type of time. And as you talked about that grace period, I mean again, we talked. Still talking about one of the all time greats.
- [11:40]
Corey Alexander
Yeah, Mark Price is another player who had an unbelievably just go up quick and you know, he would average 2010. You know, there's a lot of those. Kevin Johnson was another 2010 guy there. Just felt like, you know, that's what you had to do back then. That's when you had true point guards. But then Steph became a points guard instead. You know, like he created his own label there. Did you have your welcome to the NBA moment?
- [12:09]
Unknown
I had a lot of them. And when you just mentioned those names, Mark Price, Kevin Johnson, I started getting flashbacks from all those guys having to deal with. But my, my welcome to the NBA moment, believe it or not, came in preseason, my rookie year. And I was playing against Tim Hardaway in at utep. So a preseason game at utep. And of course I watched so much. Oh home court. I watched so much Tim Hardway growing up and playing. And before the game, you know, I'm a fan, I walked up to him and I said, hey Tim, don't hit me with that. And he said, don't worry about it, Corey, you don't have to be concerned, but watch what I do to Avery. And he bought it, put out a new move for Avery in that game. Of course those two guys had history for being with the warriors together. And after he hit Avery with the moves that pretty much spun Avery in a circle, he just looked over at me and gave me a wink and I knew I might be in trouble in this league from that point on.
- [13:02]
Corey Alexander
Does it matter who wins the East? When you look at OKC and how good they've been regular season, postseason, I.
- [13:10]
Unknown
Do think it matters. And the reason being is because as good as OKC has been, they are the best team in the NBA. They have the best player right now in the NBA in sga. But the Indiana Pacers can give them a handful. They can give them everything they want. And the reason being is because Indiana as a team is just as deep as are the Thunder. And they would absolutely make that a series. I'm not sure if it would be a great series if they're going up against the Knicks because the Knicks are so front loaded. But when you think about going 1 through 12, the Pacers are right there. They don't have the star that the, that the Thunder have in sga. But from a depth standpoint, they can match them toe to toe.
- [13:58]
Corey Alexander
And I know it Sounds blasphemous to say this, but SGA has a game. He can lead the league in scoring multiple years. And you know, the last time Iverson was like that, obviously Jordan was like, there aren't a lot of guys that you go every year. Like he could lead the league in scoring the next five years. I wouldn't be surprised at all. But he doesn't. There's no highlights really. It's just, it's methodical. I'm coming at you and it may be mid range jumpers, it may be layups, but that's it. No threes. But it's, it's pretty dominating in a, in a quiet way. I think it really is.
- [14:39]
Unknown
And the reason why I think that he won't end up being a guy that leads the league in scoring for the next few years is because he's becoming an even better playmaker. And one of the things that Shade said earlier, I had a chance to my first TV game, believe it or not, was in Oklahoma City this year. And Mark Dingo told us that Shay has come into this season with intent on empowering his teammates because he wants to make sure that they are prepared when we get to the playoffs. And it has worked. You've seen what J Dub, Jalen Williams has done, you've seen what Chet has done. You consider a team that is really gel around their superstar. But more importantly, each and every one of those guys has had better and career years. Even though he continues to lead a league in scoring. And now you see him becoming much more facilitator, playmaker. I think he's only going to get better over these next few years.
- [15:29]
Corey Alexander
We came up with a new category. It's, you know, not hall of Famer, but hall of Great. So like Jamal Crawford, Joe Johnson, you know, the guys who aren't hall of Famers, but they're right there. So do you have a nominee for the hall of Great?
- [15:48]
Unknown
I can give you a bunch of them. I'll start with Rip Hamilton and I got a chance to see Rip at the, you know, EYBL event last weekend. He's a guy that I'm not sure if he'll get into the hall of Fame, but he is absolutely great. You think about Larry Johnson. I mean you could, you can look at the Knicks sideline alone, the people showing up, Nurrell Sprewell, Alan Houston, you go down the list of guys who have been there, just the Knicks breaks alone, that I've been fortunate to be able to hang out with for the last couple of days. In this series, all those guys are in that area. They're All Stars. And at the same time may not be hall of Famers. But you know, you cannot duplicate what those guys were able to do, especially in the era in which they were able to do it. And you take each and every one of those guys and you transplant them into today's era. That scoring average goes up 5 to 6 more points per game, that efficiency goes up. And now you're talking about guys who are hall of Fame players.
- [16:42]
Corey Alexander
Anybody scare you when you play?
- [16:46]
Unknown
I mean, Michael Jordan, I mean, but other than that, no. But, you know, the first time I met Mike Dan, we were at a game, it's called the World's Greatest Pickup Game in Greensboro, North Carolina. His agent, Fred Whitfield, used to put it on. And you walk in the room and the first time you see Mike, it's that aura around him. But one thing about Michael Jordan, he doesn't let you look at him like that because he immediately starts talking trash to you. And he knows all of your history, your background or whatever it may be. So he basically welcomes people by talking trash to them. And all of a sudden now you open up, you're having this debate with Michael Jordan. You walk away from there thinking to yourself, wow, I just got a chance to talk to Michael Jordan. But when it's all said and done, when you got to see him in that Chicago 23, it was a different world. And again, like, just to see the way that the community showed up and cheered for him, even against you on home games, etc. That would be the only guy that I think that's really, during my time of covering the NBA, that's really incited fear into anyone, and that includes any player today. I mean, he's the only guy that I thought that people actually fear.
- [17:54]

Final hour on this Meat Friday It's a Brunch Friday. The Traegers are all fired up. Bacon and egg and cheese sliders, sausage sliders, lock and locks and bagel sliders with cream cheese and also spicy bloody. Mary sue has it better than we do. Ross Tucker, a good buddy, will join us coming up momentarily. The great actor Bryan Cranston will stop by as well. Phone number 8773 DP Show Email address dp@danpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show Pacers still up going back home. Knicks are getting four on Saturday night as they rough up the Pacers 111294 and we have our Stanley Cup Final. It's a rematch from last year. It's the Oilers versus the Panthers. College football closing in on a tweaked playoff model. There have been a couple of different scenarios there and from what I'm told from my source, it's gotten heated. It's gotten heated because the Big 12 and ACC are trying to stand up to the Big Ten and the sec and that's, that's where the kind of the fracture lies here. But we're talking about a lot of money at stake here and The ACC and Big 12, you know, tired of getting kicked to the curb and, you know, losing teams that they're trying to hold on for dear life. So they get at least two automatic births from their conferences, but that we hope to have Greg Sankey, the SEC commissioner, on next week. And he seems to be the one kind of in the crossfire here trying to defend the sec, also the Big Ten as well. They seem to be partnering here. And I think the rest of college football saying, hey, wait a minute, what about us? Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One NFL college analyst and host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. You can check him out on social media. Ross Tucker, NFL we were talking about pressure. Now it's 98 days until the start of the NFL season. And Paulie said it to me yesterday, he goes, you know, we're 99 days away. And I was thinking, all right, now's the time who has the most pressure. And then we started coming up with different levels, different tiers of most pressure. Player, team, coach. Let's start there. Who has the most pressure going into this upcoming season?
- [24:20]
Dan Patrick
Oh, that is an interesting one. And I have been paying attention on social media and listening a little bit. I, I kind of agree, by the way, with what Paulie was saying earlier, I don't really think that the Giants, Joe Shane and Brian Dable, I don't think they have that much pressure. I don't think anybody really thinks them that they're going to keep their job after this year. I mean, they have the hardest schedule in the NFL. I think they'll probably put Jackson Dart out there by week eight. Dan I mean, it's, it's funny when you really know the way the NFL works, which is that it's all about job preservation, right? You understand why teams operate the way they do. The Giants bring in Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. They're going to take a shot, and this is their first shot this year to try to be good, try to be competitive, have Russell go out there, maybe they can get to.500 and that's enough for another year. If it doesn't go well, midway through the year, you put in Jackson Dart. You hope that he shows enough or does enough that ownership wants to give you another year. It really is funny to me to see how many of these moves are made really with self interest in mind. So that's a different kind of pressure, because I think that most people, myself included, I don't expect either one of those to work. I think that Shane and D probably will be gone this year. Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see. Then there's a totally different pressure for, like the Josh Allen, Shawn McDermott combo or the Lamar Jackson, John Harbaugh combo. Neither one of those quarterbacks are going anywhere. But, you know, we do frame the conversation differently if they keep coming up short in the postseason for those guys. The interesting thing there, Dan, is if neither one of them makes it to the AFC Championship game this year, you'll wonder if at some point, either Terry Pugula, the owner of the Bills, or Steve Bishai, the owner of the Ravens, says, man, we got a really good team. We got a really good roster. We have one of the three or four best quarterbacks in the NFL. Maybe we just need to change something because it feels like both those teams have kind of been banging their head against the wall the last five or six years, trying to get past the Chiefs, trying to get to the Super Bowl.
- [26:53]
Corey Alexander
That's a lot there. I would say definitely Lamar Jackson and John Harbaugh. Harbaugh's career is similar to Mike Townlett. You know, when you look at. They always have a good product out there, you know, five, you know, always over. 500, it feels like. And they both have one Super Bowl. Would Mike Tomlin still have his job if he didn't have that one Super Bowl?
- [27:20]
Dan Patrick
I don't think with many franchises, but I think the Pittsburgh Steelers are just so consistent and. And so stoked in trying to keep as much loyalty as they can. And I think, to be honest, I give him a lot of credit. It's funny, because where I live, I know a lot of Steelers fans, Dan, and a lot of them are really down on Tomlin. Right? They really do not like Tomlin. And I guess what I would say to them is he's won a lot of football games. I heard you talking earlier, Dan, without really having a top half of the league quarterback. I mean, that. That is so hard to do. Now. What's interesting there is how much power does he have over the personnel over the last few years? In other words, how much of that do you put right and directly on Mike Tomlin? I think that him winning that super bowl obviously helps quite a bit. The difference between the Ravens and the Steelers. As I know you know, Dealers haven't won a playoff game in a long time. However, the Steelers haven't had Lamar Jackson either. So you could actually have a really healthy debate and discussion as to which coach is better. I think Tomlin or Harbaugh? I think both of them, if they were ever let go, there'd be a dozen teams that would look to hire them because they're considered top 10, if not top five coaches in the NFL.
- [28:52]
Corey Alexander
We talked about the pressure on Trevor Lawrence. At some point, he has to show, are you one of the top five, seven quarterbacks? You're being paid that way. The pressure on Tua and Mike McDaniel in Miami, that this might be a make or break year for at least the coach. Which one has more pressure to the Dolphins or Trevor Lawrence with Jacksonville?

So I think Trevor Lawrence has more pressure because this is now his third head coach. Right. Whereas Tua, I think, has played pretty well. It's been more the injury issues and the concussions. But if the Dolphins have a down year, I think they fire McDaniel, and I think Tua is still the starting quarterback with a new head coach. If Trevor Lawrence really struggles, then you kind of wonder what Liam Cohen and Tony Bacelli and Gladstone and the new regime starts to think now. I think Trevor just got a deal. They maybe both just got contracts before the 2024 season, if memory serves, might have been 2023 for one of those guys. So they got money fairly recently. So it would be a little bit messy to move on. But I think out of those two players in particular, I think it's on Lawrence, and I think he gets a pass nationally way, way more than he should.

Corey Alexander
He's Ross Tucker with the Ross Tucker Football podcast. Also, you can hear him and see him on the NFL and college football with CBS Sports and Westwood 1. Pressure on Justin Herbert. Or. Or do we look at. It's Jim Harbaugh who has that pressure? Like, who has more pressure? If you're going to divvy it up with the quarterback and the coach with.
- [30:42]
Dan Patrick
The Chargers, I'm going to say it's 50. 50. If anything, though, I would probably lean to Herbert because again, this is a scenario where this is a second head coach for him. You know, Harbaugh kind of comes in, the Chargers were down, he leads him to the playoffs. And Harbaugh has a significant track record of success with the Niners, with Michigan, even going back to Stanford. Right. Herbert not as much. And in particular, there's a perception, right or wrong, that Herbert doesn't play his best when it matters the most. I almost felt bad for him in that playoff game against the Texans because I. I knew what was coming. And so I like to go into a year and look at which quarterbacks, man, it's really. It's more on them now. And I think Herbert's one of those guys. I think Caleb Williams. I know it's only year two, Dan, but the Bears did something they've never done before, which is pay top dollar for a head coach. They redid the whole O line. Okay? Interior, offensive line in front of him. The first two picks, Colston Loveland with the 10th pick, Luther Burden with a top 10 second round pick, are both skill guys. The Bears are doing everything possible to try to set up Caleb Williams for success. Now you got those quotes from the book with Wickersham, which will come out, you know, the day after the, the Bears first game. I think there's a little bit of sneaky pressure on Williams because those quotes and that book have kind of put even more of a spotlight on him than there already was. And it feels like whenever you're one of these number one pick guys, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, whoever, people want to blame everybody else as long as they can, especially the fans, right? Like Jacksonville fans. It's almost like franchise quarterback Stan. It's like a religion. And people want to hang on to that belief as long as they can. Jaguars fans want to believe in Trevor Lawrence until they absolutely can. Bears fans want to believe in Caleb so, so badly. But with the microscope on him this year, if he struggles, I think that that could be interesting as well.
- [33:06]
Corey Alexander
I'm also wondering about, you know, the Niners were on the clock with a lot of pressure the last couple of years. You know, they do make it to a Super Bowl. You make it to, you know, conference final. But I don't know if we're applying the pressure that was on them before. It's weird. We, we kind of moved on. Now it's the Lions that it feels like there's more pressure on Detroit than it is San Francisco. Do you see it that way?
- [33:33]
Dan Patrick
I understand why some people do. I don't think that should be the case at all. I mean, the Niners are coming off of a 6 and 11 season. If they have another down year, they have some serious questions to ask because their core isn't getting any younger. Right? I mean, Trent Williams at left tackle, McCaffrey, you know, we don't know if Christian will ever come back and be the guy he was. We know they've now locked up Purdy, but Kittle's not getting younger, you know, and I, I wonder, you know, I applaud organizations that show patience. And even after the Niners have a down year here or down year there, they recognize they have a good coach. And Kyle Shanahan, two down years in a row, things get a little bit different, then things get a little bit tighter. I don't think it's going to happen because I think they're going to be very good. They have the easiest schedule in the NFL. I think the Niners are actually going to bounce back in a major way. But if they don't, if they have another losing season, things will get very interesting. There, there is some in Detroit, Dan, but. And maybe because of the fact they lost both coordinators and there's this feeling that, man, this is their window to get over the hump. But I, I have a tough time picturing them making any major change in Detroit after this season, barring something totally unforeseen. Because you have to remember it's been a long time since we were even talking about there being pressure in Detroit because they're even good enough to have pressure.
- [35:10]
Corey Alexander
I'll leave you with this. With the flag football with the US Team, this has been suggested. Could we get an NFL team that goes against the best flag football team that's out there and then the winner gets to go and represent the United States in flag football? I think it'd be must see TV if people are going to be shocked when they look at guys who do are professional flag football players, just how different it is, how different they play than the NFL. But if you did, here's your NFL team and I'm going to get the best flag football team. The winner represents the United States in the Olympics.
- [35:53]
Dan Patrick
I think it's an incredible idea. I think I saw where, you know, maybe my buddy Jason Kelsey was talking about that as well. I think the guys that have been playing flag football for years, I think they deserve that opportunity. I would watch that game that would maybe be like the second flag football game I've ever watched because I watched a couple of years ago, if you remember, I can't remember what it was, but these full time flag football guys, they played against former NFL guys like Seneca Wallace was the quarterback for the other team, you know, for the, for the former NFL and they beat him and they beat him bad. You know, the, the, the, the, the flag, current flag football guys beat the former NFL guys. That said, I don't know how much time the former NFL guys put into it. If you gave actual NFL players a month to really understand the game, the rules, because the rules are different, they're unique. I am pretty confident that they would beat the flag football guys, but it still would be very entertaining to watch. And I think it's like, it's like a pros versus Joe's thing, right? Everybody would kind of tune in to see how these guys would do against the guys they're used to seeing in the NFL.

Stefan Diggs didn't invite you on the yacht, did he?
- [37:12]
Dan Patrick
No, I, I was not Invited on the yacht. I, I, I will say this. I am open to any yacht invitations ever. I, I'm, I'm, I'm a big yacht guy. I just don't know enough people that have yachts or super yachts.
- [37:27]
Corey Alexander
You're a boat guy. You're not a yacht guy.
- [37:30]
Dan Patrick
I'm a pontoon boat guy with a cooler full of beer and just floating down the river. I don't need a. Yeah, what? Okay, let me ask them. Why would you pay hundreds of millions of dollars for a yacht when you can just go in the river or even a stream on like a kayak and have a cooler of beer there? And it's the same thing. You're in water, you're drinking beer. Either way, what's the difference?
- [37:58]
Corey Alexander
The shorties don't like a kayak. I'm just gonna be honest with you. But a pontoon, you know, they might be interested in a floating living room.
- [38:06]
Dan Patrick
There, but pontoon boats are the party boats, man. They're awesome.

- [44:47]
Corey Alexander
Okay.
- [44:47]
Bryan Cranston
And by the way, I miss. I miss saying the opening stats. I always like to go 7 foot 4, 114 pounds.
- [44:57]
Corey Alexander
What is your height and weight?
- [44:59]
Bryan Cranston
My height and weight? Well, I used to be 6 foot, but I'm probably 511 now. My weight is 182. I'd like to get that down.
- [45:10]
Corey Alexander
But do you lie about your height or. Wait, do actors do that?
- [45:16]
Bryan Cranston
Of course we do.
- [45:18]
Corey Alexander
Why.
- [45:21]
Bryan Cranston
Why would you not? No.
- [45:24]
Corey Alexander
Okay. Now, I was told this before, that it's harder to be a better actor, great actor, if you're taller. Any truth?
- [45:38]
Bryan Cranston
There are few actors of great height who are actually. Who actually became stars.
- [45:45]
Corey Alexander
Much.
- [45:46]
Bryan Cranston
Many more who were smaller. But it is also true that most actors who become stars have large heads, like elephantitis heads. You know, they have to have props. Prop them up over there. And blue eyes if you have light eyes.
- [46:06]
Corey Alexander
Really?
- [46:07]
Bryan Cranston
Yeah.
- [46:08]
Corey Alexander
Okay. Who's got a big noggin? That's a great actor?
- [46:13]
Bryan Cranston
Well, you just think about any Brando.
- [46:16]
Corey Alexander
Have a big head.
- [46:17]
Bryan Cranston
Oh, like enormous. Like a coconut. Yeah, he was. And all. I mean, all these people, even.
- [46:26]
Unknown
Even the women.
- [46:26]
Bryan Cranston
The women who have larger heads have a better chance to be a movie star.
- [46:34]
Corey Alexander
That's not true. That's not true.
- [46:36]
Bryan Cranston
Well, I'm trying here.
- [46:37]
Corey Alexander
You know, David Hasselhoff had a big head, but not a great actor.
- [46:45]
Bryan Cranston
He was a. He's a lovely guy. I was gonna say he was a lovely guy, but he's still alive. Nice guy. I. I did an episode of Baywatch back in the day where I played. I think my character name was like Drunken Boat Captain or something like that.
- [47:05]
Corey Alexander
But. But you didn't have a Speedo on. Like, you weren't running in slow motion on. On Baywatch.
- [47:11]
Bryan Cranston
No, no. When I'm in skimpy underwear, it's. It's full on motion every. You want to see everything, apparently.
- [47:20]
Corey Alexander
But did Walter White have to wear tighty whities?
- [47:25]
Bryan Cranston
No. You know, it was interesting because after seven years of Malcolm in the Middle where Hal wore tighty whities because I thought it was appropriate because he was just a big boy, so he never really grew up. And for some reason, Vince Gilligan wrote that Walter White wore tighty whities. And I went to the wardrobe call and I said, well, I just did seven years So I tried on boxers, and I tried on long, and it's like, you know what? There's some reason that he did this, and I'm just gonna go with it. And that image of him in the desert, that first poster of the gun and his tighty whities, is so pathetic that I thought, oh, that's. I think that's the image he wanted to go for.
- [48:11]
Corey Alexander
But how often do you question when you. When you have a director or there's something on the page where you offer feedback or you're gonna stand up for what you think might be right?
- [48:24]
Bryan Cranston
All the time. All the time? Yeah. You're constantly making adjustments. I just did a couple episodes of the show, the studio where my character at the end shows up in leopard, very skinny bikini briefs, which I chose, and stockings with garter clips and a girdle, and he wears a. Dickie is the most ridiculous looking guy in the world. And. And I. I wanted all of those things, and so we just adjusted it to those. And I surprised Seth Rogen when I walked out of the room and he saw me for the first time on camera.
- [49:05]
Corey Alexander
It's a great character because it came out of nowhere, you know, first episode, and I'm like, oh, my God. It's like, you know, this combination of. You're gonna try to bring in every studio head of all the things that are negative about them or over the top about them, and you just kind of combined it with one character, and it was like, all right, yeah, that. That's Hollywood right there.
- [49:28]
Bryan Cranston
It's kind of patterned. I patterned him after Robert Evans, famous studio head of this. Of paramount in the 70s, did great movies, but he was always super tan, bleached his teeth. He always wore very masculine clothes. He was that kind of guy. His shirt was unbuttoned to his navel, you know, and it was, hey, baby. You know that dude. So that's more fun to play a guy like that.
- [49:55]
Corey Alexander
I got the picture here from Baywatch. Paulie just sent it to me. Wow. Okay. All right. Those are short shorts you got on, by the way.
- [50:06]
Bryan Cranston
Those were the times. Don't tell me you didn't have short shorts in the.
- [50:09]
Corey Alexander
I did.
- [50:10]
Bryan Cranston
Yeah. Everybody did. Remember the NBA back in the day?
- [50:14]
Corey Alexander
Yes. Yeah, I, I, you know, growing up, I had short shorts, and John Stockton, I think, was like, the last holdout. Like, you know, he was the last guy to wear short shorts. Paulie, what do you have on this episode with. With Brian, that fine episode of Baywatch, November 89.
- [50:32]
Unknown

Yeah, but you're there on Baywatch. I mean.
- [50:58]
Bryan Cranston
Oh, yeah, those. They're out there.
- [51:03]
Corey Alexander
Did anybody notice Captain Tom Logan of, you know, the. The women. Did you catch anybody's eye there?
- [51:13]
Bryan Cranston
You know, I don't know. I don't know whose eye I caught. Oh, my God.
- [51:19]
Corey Alexander
Were you born in Hollywood?
- [51:21]
Bryan Cranston
I was born in the city of Hollywood. Yes. Right in Hollywood. And raised in Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley.
- [51:29]
Corey Alexander
And famous classmates?
- [51:34]
Bryan Cranston
No, I didn't have any famous classmates in the area, I think. Well, Kevin Spacey went to the same high school a couple years after me, but then transferred out to go to a better theater school. But outside of that, they're really. No, no, no. Famous. No one famous.
- [52:00]
Corey Alexander
Tougher to get Knicks tickets. Courtside or Laker tickets? Courtside.
- [52:04]
Bryan Cranston
Laker tickets. Courtside. Tougher.
- [52:07]
Corey Alexander
Tougher.
- [52:08]
Bryan Cranston
Yeah.
- [52:09]
Corey Alexander
Okay. What's the process?
- [52:10]
Bryan Cranston
It's just jam. Well, first, there is a way I can give advice to all the listeners and viewers about how to get courtside seats. First, become a television star or a movie star. Do that first. Then you'll have a lot better chance of getting courtside seats. But I did get courtside seats last year to. To Knicks Pacers. Had a great time. Had a great time watching it. And they're back at it again.
- [52:42]
Corey Alexander
I know, but, you know your sitcom Famous with Malcolm in the Middle and then Breaking Bad, like, you know, I'm gonna guess Breaking Bad. You got. It was easier to get the tickets than with Malcolm in the Middle.
- [52:58]
Bryan Cranston
Yeah. It give. It gave me a higher profile. Absolutely.
- [53:02]
Corey Alexander
Okay.
- [53:03]
Bryan Cranston
Yeah. So, yeah, that's what I get mostly recognized for. I would say. I'd say, like 7 out of 10 people who approached me. You okay there?
- [53:15]
Corey Alexander
I think I just broke something. My mic collapsed here.
- [53:21]
Bryan Cranston
About 7 out of 10 people recognize me as Walter White. Yeah.
- [53:27]
Corey Alexander
So I want to talk about the Phoenician scheme.
- [53:29]
Bryan Cranston
Yeah.
- [53:30]
Corey Alexander
Because Wes Anderson does things differently than anybody else. How would you describe what he does as a Phoenician filmmaker?
- [53:42]
Bryan Cranston
Well, he is the truest sense of the word auteur. There is no way that anyone can say, oh, I think I know what Wes is thinking on this. I think I know where he's gonna go with this. You just don't know at all. It is a unique journey when you do a Wes Anderson movie, because it's always clever, it's always surprising, and it's just. It's so much fun. But the thing about, from an actor's point of view, doing the Phoenician scheme or asteroid city before that or whatever, it's the experience of being with him and all the actors at the same table at the dinner every night after you work. And that kind of camaraderie was so much fun. In fact, Tom Hanks calls it actor camp. It's a good hang. And we. And all the actors are there. We're having wine and cocktails and food, and we're talking about things that we're worried about in our families and things like that without worrying about prying eyes or ears around us. And we can just be open, and it's a lot of fun.
- [54:59]
Corey Alexander
So Tom Hanks, I believe, plays your brother. You got Michael Cera in there, Scarlett Johansson, Benicio Del Toro.
- [55:06]
Bryan Cranston
Yeah, yeah. Benedict Cumberbatch, Riz Ahmed. I mean, it's a big, big cast. And Tom and I are playing brothers. We think we're brothers. It was never actually established, but they're. They're so, so alike. Now there's a basketball sequence in the movie that Tom and I are involved in, and when we got to the set, we're. We're asked, okay, who. Who can do this and who can do that? And so Tom. Tom's going, I can't really dribble very well, so I'll go, I'll dribble. And I said, look, I got problems with my shoulders. I got arthritis. It was like. It was like if you went to the assisted living center to get two.
- [55:50]
Corey Alexander
Basketball players, People sent me that clip of you got of you shooting basketball, wondering if you were trying to model your shot after me for some reason. And I said, well, if he. If he was trying, he didn't do a very good job. But because.
- [56:06]
Bryan Cranston
Because I made the best dripping.
- [56:08]
Corey Alexander
No, it wasn't dripping with athleticism. I'm just going to say, you know, as a basketball player, you're a great actor.
- [56:17]
Bryan Cranston
Yeah, no, I wasn't modeling myself after you're.
- [56:20]
Corey Alexander
You're.
- [56:21]
Bryan Cranston
They broke the mold when they made.
- [56:23]
Corey Alexander
The Dan Patrick the Phoenician scheme. That comes out May 30th and then nationwide June 2nd, and everything's going to be great. That comes out June 20th.
- [56:36]
Bryan Cranston
Yeah.
- [56:37]
Corey Alexander
Did you shoot these around the same time?
- [56:40]
Bryan Cranston
No, Phoenician scheme. We shot last year. Everything's gonna be great. We shot before It. But it's. It's like jockeying for position and who's gonna. And what's the right time to come out with a movie? And, you know, it's. Those decisions are made by someone else, but Everything's Gonna Be Great is also a really. It's a beautiful film with Alison Janney and myself.
- [57:03]
Corey Alexander
And.
- [57:04]
Bryan Cranston
And it. It reminded me of Little Miss Sunshine from years ago. It's funny and sweet and sad and engaging. Yeah.
- [57:14]
Corey Alexander
Anyway, Little Miss Sunshine, that final dance scene.
- [57:20]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.

It's one of those little sneaky surprise movies where you're like, damn, I don't. I don't. You know, everybody. When you watch a movie, it's like, I don't know, it's going to be nominated. Everything's going to be nominated. Instead of just watching movies, I think we're always like, well, what's going to do at the box office? Is anybody going to go see this in the movie theaters? It's kind of like the pressure. I don't know how different it is now than, let's say, you know, 15 years ago.

It's a lot different.

Bryan Cranston
When you and I were kids, every show, every morning show, every news show had a movie and television reviewer specifically to relay to the audience what they felt was good of high quality. They fired all of those people. And so now the news readers just read off what made the most money last weekend at the box office as if that's the indication of quality. And so it's. It's kind of sad. So you really need the word of mouth to be able to say, don't miss this movie or that movie.

Corey Alexander
Paulie told me that there might be. We're bringing back Malcolm in the Middle. Is there a. Yeah, we did it.

Bryan Cranston
Yeah, we shot it already.

Corey Alexander
Oh, you shot it?
- [58:39]
Bryan Cranston
Oh, we did. We did four episodes for Disney and they. We just finished it. So that'll be out probably either later this year or early next year. And, man, I gotta tell you, it was so much fun. All the. All the kids came back and, you know, it's funny because the boys for Malcolm in the Middle are all around the same age that I was when we first started the show 25 years ago.
- [59:08]
Corey Alexander
Wow.
- [59:09]
Bryan Cranston
They have kids of their own. It's so great to see. And the adults that they become, it's really fantastic.
- [59:18]
Corey Alexander
When you do the race walking scene, do you still have that outfit? Because I'd love to put it in the man Cave.
- [59:25]
Bryan Cranston
Oh, would you. It would have to be on a. It would have to be on a mannequin.
- [59:30]
Corey Alexander
Yes, yes, I'd get a mannequin.
- [59:32]
Bryan Cranston
Well, let me see if I can get it for you, because I'd love to see it on your show.
- [59:38]
Corey Alexander
Well, why don't you drop everything that you're doing and. And, like, do something for me, like, right now? Like, right now.
- [59:45]
Bryan Cranston
That was implied. Of course I'm gonna drop everything. Yes, absolutely.
- [59:51]
Corey Alexander
Absolutely. I don't like nothing else. No, don't read any scripts or anything. It's like. Nope, I can't. I am sending an outfit from Malcolm in the Middle to Dan Patrick.
- [60:01]
Bryan Cranston
I'm wondering if they still have it. I don't know, but, man, that was a funny, funny thing. And I was, you know, I was real trim then. I was like 172 or 3, something like that.
- [60:15]
Corey Alexander
Well, I'm not going to wear it. I'm just. I'm gonna put it on the mannequin.
- [60:17]
Bryan Cranston
But I think you should wear it, though. I think you should. You should put it on.
