1. Crystal Palace's Historic FA Cup Victory

Timeframe: 02:42 - 07:31

In a heartfelt segment, Rebecca Lowe, NBC Sports Premier League host and lifelong Crystal Palace fan, joins Brian Windhorst, Senior NBA Writer, to discuss the monumental achievement of Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup. Windhorst shares his emotional journey with the club, highlighting the significance of this victory not only for him but also for the team and its supporters.

Notable Quotes:

• Windhorst (04:51): "To beat [Manchester City] in the biggest game in English football is... I can't. It's so hard for me to describe the euphoria."
• Rebecca Lowe (07:05): "So what do you do now? This is like, this is weird. Red Sox fans, Cubs fans are like, wait a minute now, now we won."

Windhorst reflects on the rarity of Crystal Palace reaching the final stages, emphasizing the club's longstanding history since the 1800s and his initial doubts about ever winning a major trophy. The discussion delves into the emotional rollercoaster of supporting a team that historically faced more challenges than victories, making this FA Cup win a top milestone in Windhorst's life.

Windhorst (08:30): "This is incredible. I feel like there's life before Saturday, and there is now life after Saturday. That is... a line in the sand in my life that day was."

The segment concludes with Windhorst expressing his contentment with the achievement, acknowledging that even if future trophies remain elusive, this moment completes a significant chapter in his personal and professional life.

2. NBA Trade Speculations and Giannis Antetokounmpo's Future

Timeframe: 15:11 - 24:35

Tony Reali, host of "Around the Horn," engages in an in-depth discussion about the potential trade scenarios surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo. The conversation explores various teams that might be in the running to acquire the MVP-caliber player, including the San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Notable Quotes:

• Reali (17:47): "I don't think you'll see a significant big move with the star player until there's clarity on what happens with Giannis."
• Windhorst (19:56): "San Antonio has something that is extremely attractive... they have a star player in Victor Wembanyama who is on his rookie contract for several more years."

Reali and Windhorst analyze the complexities of NBA trades, considering factors such as team needs, salary cap implications, and player preferences. They particularly focus on San Antonio's advantageous position due to their young star Victor Wembanyama and their rich draft assets, making them a plausible destination for Giannis if a trade materializes.

Windhorst (24:35): "But if Giannis is in agreement with the Bucks, that we're going to work together and he has two years on his contract, that's sort of an awkward spot."

The discussion also touches upon the implications for other star players like Stephen Curry and LeBron James, contemplating how their career trajectories might influence or be influenced by potential trades involving Giannis.

This segment delves into the personal and professional impacts of the show's ending, highlighting the camaraderie among hosts and the legacy they've built together.

Notable Quotes:

• Dan Patrick (38:30): "But I can't imagine with your excitement, your enthusiasm, your energy, you go into management."
• Lowe (39:27): "But I can't imagine with your excitement, your enthusiasm, your energy, you go into management."

Patrick shares his gratitude towards longtime colleagues like Tony Reali and Mike, reminiscing about memorable moments and the growth they've experienced over the decades. The conversation underscores the challenges faced by long-running shows in evolving media landscapes and the personal adjustments hosts must make when such shows conclude.

Dan Patrick (44:07): "Yes, I'm happy to have the next two months to talk to everybody and anybody in the world."

The dialogue also touches on Patrick's reflections about his career trajectory, his passion for sports journalism, and his readiness to explore new opportunities post-show. Lowe and Patrick engage in light-hearted banter, indicating a mix of sadness and optimism about transitioning to new chapters in their professional lives.

Dan Patrick (51:37): "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."

[Rebecca Lowe]

Rebecca Lowe, NBC Sports Premier League host, lifelong Crystal palace fan. How do you feel today?

[Brian Windhorst]

Dan Flippin Patrick I feel a lot of feelings I've never felt before. I feel like life goes too quickly and already Saturday is too far ago. Like it's too long ago. How did it already get to Monday? No, I need it to still be Saturday. I feel slightly empty. Isn't quite the right, you know, not deflect, maybe just exhausted. Could just be like emotional exhaustion. But I also find myself, and this is, I don't think this has ever happened to me before. I find myself during these last couple of days just drifting into a daydream and thinking and remembering what it was like at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. I feel pretty complete, to be honest.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Explain the FA cup to our audience that may not know.

[Brian Windhorst]

Okay, so the FA cup is nearly 150 years old. It's an incredible competition that is separate from the league. So whilst it's similar to super bowl in that you have the knockouts in the super bowl, you know, in the later stages when you get to the playoffs, right? And then the two get to the final, this is knockout all the way along. So you play the league normally and then you all get to go into the FA Cup. And the FA cup actually starts in August with 900 and something teams. We're talking grassroots soccer in England. So we're talking village teams enter the FA cup in August and then they go through extra preliminary rounds, preliminary rounds, and then all the way to first round, second round, and then it gets to January and that's when the big boys go in. So in the third round of the FA cup is when the Manchester Cities and the Premier League clubs enter the third round. You then have to win third round, fourth round, fifth round, quarterfinal, semi, final, and then you're in the final. So the competition actually starts in August, finishes in May, and it's the most revered, oldest and most famous cup competition in world football.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Did you ever think you would win in your lifetime?

[Dan Patrick]

I.

[Brian Windhorst]

Not really, no. Dan We've been in it twice. Before 1990 we were in it and I was nine and I was too young to go. And then in 2016 I'd just given birth to Teddy Buckle and I couldn't go because he was Two and a half weeks old and I was in the United States, so I couldn't travel. And we've lost, obviously, both of those times. So to get in again kind of so quickly, really, considering my club has been around since the 1800s, we've only been in the final three times. To get in again was incredible. And I have to say, NBC have been amazing. They straight away said, yeah, Rebecca, you're going. Even though I was supposed to be working today and yesterday, and no, I never thought we'd been in it. And also we were playing Manchester City, the team that you adopted 12 years ago, slightly lightly, but you adopted them. And they are not the team of. Of back in those days, but they're still a blooming good team. And so to beat them in the biggest game in English football is. Is. I can't. It's so hard for me to describe the euphoria.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Cry I had.

[Brian Windhorst]

There were. There were a lot of tears before the game had even started. I was crying. They sing a song or hymn, I should say, called Abide With Me before every FA cup final. It's just the tradition. So I cried during that. Then I cried when the players came out, just because that was my team coming out on the field. Now I cry when we won it. So, yeah, lots of tears.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Was there part of you that didn't want to subject your son to this potential torture for his life?

[Brian Windhorst]

Well, I did think about that. And when every. When I told everybody that he was growing up as a Crystal palace fan, people asked me that exact question. I thought, in some ways, yes.

[Tony Reali]

Right.

[Brian Windhorst]

Because I would say over the 35 years of supporting palace, it's been mainly painful. But I really believe, Dan, that if you support a Liverpool, a Manchester United, back in the day, a Manchester City, you'll never get that moment I got. Because you win all the time. You win trophies all the time. So I want him to understand that in life, Dan, it is quality, not quantity.

[Rebecca Lowe]

We're talking to Rebecca Lowe. She, of course, is the host of the Premier League on NBC. And Peacock. And she was there at Wembley with her husband and son.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Rebecca Lowe]

And as soon as they won, I did think of you. I'm like, oh, my God. I don't know. Does Crystal palace have a trophy case?

[Brian Windhorst]

Not technically, because we've not actually won a major trophy before. I'm sure there is space in the boardroom at the stadium. We've won smaller trophies down the years, like, much, much smaller. But now we're going to build a brand. I think we'll build a whole room, to be quite honest, for this one beautiful trophy.

[Rebecca Lowe]

So what do you do now? This is like, this is weird. Red Sox fans, Cubs fans are like, wait a minute now, now we won.

[Brian Windhorst]

I know, it is weird. And that's why I said it's a feeling I've never had before. I don't quite know what to do with this feeling. I'm a bit concerned that Teddy thinks, Age 9 this is going to be, you know, I mean, it could quite feasibly never happen again in his lifetime. I have told him that I. So Crystal palace are actually playing Liverpool, the Premier League champions, next Sunday on the final day of the season. And we are going to Anfield to watch Liverpool lift the Premier League trophy. I'll be the only one in the stadium that's actually more interested in their opposition next weekend. So I get to see them again next weekend. And then after that, to be honest, Dan, if we never win another trophy, I'm actually fine with it. It's done. Like, for me, that moment was full circle. 35 years as a 9 year old. My dad was there, my family, like, it's, it's like it is complete now.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Okay, where does this rank? Top five days of your life.

[Brian Windhorst]

Number three.

[Rebecca Lowe]

So having Teddy. Yeah. Getting the job at NBC and then this and then your wedding.

[Brian Windhorst]

Very close, very close. I'm going, I'm going, baby wedding this. But then with both of them with me for this, you know, it might kind of like they might all be on a little bit of a level path. It is, it is that big. I genuinely feel like there was life before Saturday, Dan, and there is now life after Saturday. That is honestly what a line in the sand in my life that day was.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Congratulations. I didn't think it would happen in my lifetime, but I'm, I'm glad it happened in your lifetime that you got to have Crystal palace instead of being the butt of a joke.

[Brian Windhorst]

Yeah.

[Rebecca Lowe]

That you're a champion.

[Brian Windhorst]

Champions. Absolute flipping champions.

[Dan Patrick]

It's unbelievable.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Brian Windhorst of the Mothership, senior NBA writer and he was there for game six, Celtics and the Knicks. ESPN's coverage of the Western Conference finals starts tomorrow night, 8:30 Eastern, with the Timberwolves and OKC. Wendy joins us. Don't you know, here's a random thought I just had for you, Brian. If LeBron James would all of a sudden end up with the Cleveland Cavaliers, let's say end his career there, what does that do to your life? Do you then have to go back to Cleveland?

[Tony Reali]

I was in Cleveland a lot this postseason. You know, the Cavs were, you know, if the Cavs, if a team is really relev, I'm probably going to be there. I covered the Cavs Heat series in the first round and I thought I would be there for the Eastern Conference finals. I thought the Cavs were playing great. I really did not see, I respect the Pacers. I did not see them getting washed out in five. Yeah, I mean, you know, in my view, where LeBron's career is now, he's just in the total icing stage. He can do whatever he wants and it won't affect the way I think about him or whatever. I know that his legacy is a popular sports topic. I think it's whatever happens is fine. Like if he plays three more years and misses the playoffs, fine. If he plays one more year and hangs it up and they in the late with the Lakers and they don't make the second round fine. Like to me, after he won the championship in 16, it was all cemented. And after that, you know, it's just a. It's just a part of building onto the resume. So I would cover it like I would cover any the rest of the league. You know, if I'm assigned there by my bosses, I would go. It's my hometown. So I always look for reasons to go there. I was happy to be there and in round one, played some golf. Thought I was going to be playing some more golf in Cleveland this summer, but that doesn't seem to be going to be happening.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Well, the Cavs are playing golf.

[Tony Reali]

They certainly are. They certainly are.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Do you think that it's just Steph Curry will end his career with Golden State? LeBron won his career with the Lakers?

[Tony Reali]

Probably, yeah. I think Steph Curry will end his career with Golden State. LeBron, you know, high probability of Lakers. I would never cement it just because the Lakers are pivoting a little bit now, not a little bit. They've pivoted to Luca and so that makes their medium term future a little bit harder to predict. But LeBron has demonstrated repeatedly time after time after time, his priority is to be a Laker and to live in Los Angeles. So I don't, you know, unless the Lakers did something to him that change the way he feels about them, which is not their M.O. the Lakers franchise has invested in, in almost more than anything else, invested in taking care of superstars. It's essentially their brand. I don't see that happening. But yes, I think that's, that's very likely where we're headed.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Giannis had a reportedly a polite way of saying trade me or I'd be open to a trade. When does the market start? Where I guess has it started officially of yes. Yeah. Teams proposing yes.

[Tony Reali]

I don't think you'll see a significant big move with the star player until there's clarity on what happens with Giannis. And nor should there be because this could go a lot of different ways. And I do think, by the way, like I may not have the best information on this. I'm not saying that I do. I don't think that Giannis is 100% said I'm out of Milwaukee yet. I think that would be a mistake. I think that would be a mistake to assume that. Do I think that there is a growing possibility that that's, that he is going to want out? I do. And I think that the league does. In fact, frankly, Dan, the league has been watching this for a year. You know, I'm not saying that there are teams that have like haltered their organization to wait for this, but for a year, I mean, even at the trade deadline, there were teams who were like, you know what, let's just, let's just chill or let's just do this deal instead of this deal just in case we see Giannis available. People were keeping an eye on this for a year and then when Dame unfortunately had that injury, anybody who would be a Giannis suitor applied the brakes to anything serious. And we'll see. I think as the playoffs go on and we get closer to the draft season, there will be an increasing tension that grips the league on waiting for Giannis to make a signal about whether he wants to leave. And then if he wants to leave, is there a place or places he wants to Go and is he going to have control? Those are big, important decisions that are going to happen. And I think you could even, you know, this isn't an ironclad thing. It's all evolving. But you could even have a player like Kevin Durant sort of sitting on the, on the tarmac waiting to see what happens with his future. Until Giannis's future gets tied up. Not guaranteed, but. But you could see some teams that Durant would have interested in, Giannis potentially having interest in, and you're not getting both.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Give me the team, though, you think has the assets to be able to pull this off to. We always look at trades from one perspective. It's like, man, they could get him if they give up. These guys. We never look at the other side. So Milwaukee's got to be intrigued by this. Who could get their attention?

[Tony Reali]

Yeah, I mean, I would assume that Milwaukee has been working on this. Again, not that if their general manager, John Horst, was here, he would attest to this, but the whole league has been thinking about Giannis for a year. My guess is for some period of time, the Bucks, maybe not on their main whiteboard in the front of their office, but there's a secret computer file somewhere where they have a list of interesting trades they'd like to make. The team that stands out with a bright, fresh flashing light is San Antonio. Because San Antonio has a couple of things that are very possible. Yanis, trade. First off, Daniel in the modern NBA, in the apron era. And I understand fans frustration. I have several friends who are, who are big NBA fans who like, snap at me and go, nobody understands this apron stuff. Nobody cares about it. Stop talking about it. Unfortunately, that's just the truth. In the modern NBA game, it's very hard. Not impossible, but it's very hard to have three gigantic salaries, 50 million plus salaries. And if you do, all three of those guys better be awesome because you can't fill out the rest of your roster. And I mean, it's not impossible, but it's extremely difficult. And to invest in that, to go that route right now is very hard. So San Antonio has something that is extremely attractive, is that they have a star player in Victor Wembanyama who is on his rookie contract for several more years. And then even if he does get the max contract, his max will be sort of lower down. It's just like what happened with the Senate with The San Francisco 49ers and Brock Purdy, right? They were able to build out their team because one of their best players was making one of the cheapest contracts. So they have that. They have a star player on the minimum on a rookie sale contract. They have young pieces in house that would interest anybody, including Stefan Castle, who just won rookie of the year. And they are loaded with future draft assets, including two lottery picks in this draft and the number two pick. And they have large salaries on their roster that can make a trade, you could equal it. And so if you're Milwaukee, one of the most important things I have to say before anybody goes to the trade machine, if you think Milwaukee is tanking, you've got it wrong. Milwaukee cannot tank. They do not control their first round pick for the next five years. So if they make a Yanis trade, even if it is beautiful for four years from now and it results in them winning 17 games next year, they're going to have a party in New Orleans because that's who controls their pick. They have to have a real team on the other side of it. Unless they go to New Orleans and make the deal for Giannis and get their picks back, they have to have a real team on the other side of it. So San Antonio can give them real players, they can give them young players, and they can give them draft picks. That's the golden triangle. What we don't know is whether Giannis wants to play in San Antonio. And what we don't so don't know is if that's going to be a priority. If Gianna says to the Bucks, okay, I'd like to be traded, whether or not they're going to work together, I would suspect that they would, but I don't know for sure. So you have a team like San Antonio, you also could put Houston in that boat. Houston has some of the same advantages, but San Antonio is farther ahead. If I was Yanis, though, Dan, and I saw the way the league was going and I saw the unfortunate situation that just happened in Boston, I would stay East.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Oh, absolutely.

[Tony Reali]

I would stay.

[Rebecca Lowe]

I would, I would, I would say, you know what, let me talk to Cleveland. Like, if you, you want to get a team that is ready to win and then that's his goal, I mean, the Eastern Conference, you're right. Boston's wounded. The Knicks are good, Indiana's good, 76ers aren't good. You know, so you start to look at the hierarchy there and you go, you know what? I could win a championship with one of these teams.

[Tony Reali]

Here's where I once again have to use the word apron, because both of those teams are second apron teams. And it's not Impossible. I want to be clear, it is not impossible, but I would need Bobby Marks and a bunch of spreadsheets to be able to have a real conversation. It's not like it was a few years ago where you're like, if two teams deem it so it can, it can happen. And then you get into like, well, there's three team, four team, six team, 12 team scenarios. Yes, obviously if you had a battering ram and a will, you could make it happen. But really, these days you have to consider that as well. But if Cleveland could get Giannis. Yes, I, I would seriously, I would take the phone call, put it that way.

[Rebecca Lowe]

But San Antonio is still keeping Victor Wembanyama.

[Tony Reali]

That's right.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Okay, now how does that pair work together?

[Tony Reali]

Beautifully, because when Benyama. Well, here's the thing. Giannis is extraordinarily effective playing center. This is sort of an inconvenient truth, you know, for example. Well, I'm not going to get into that. I don't get, I don't get aggregated. I don't need that.

[Rebecca Lowe]

We like when you get aggregated.

[Tony Reali]

Yes. Yours, your show is excellent at it. Giannis is probably a center in the modern NBA, okay, but he doesn't really want to play center. But if you put in, it's. And it's hard to play him a power forward, Dan, because he can't shoot. And it's even hard to pay him a small forward under circumstance. Circumstances because it's harder to get shooters on the court because, you know, so Wembanyama is in, is on his way to being one of the greatest big man shooters of all time. Like, he is dedicated to it. He is getting better at it. The spurs want him to do it. At the very least, he has to be guarded out there. And the way that you, you know, what you want for Giannis is you want the floor spaced. And if you leave Victor to open the lane, Giannis will jam it down your throat. And if you leave, if you stay with Victor and open the lane, Giannis will jam it down your throat. And if you leave Victor, he will kill you. He will eventually be an, I think over 40%, three point shooter. So. And then at the defensive end, you have length for days. And the spurs still have de' Aaron Fox, they still have other pieces that they can, that they have and assets they can continue to build. They could make. They could pay a king's ransom for Giannis and still have pieces to build, which is why to me, San Antonio, of all the teams, makes the most Sense. However, having said that, if Giannis is in agreement with the Bucks, that we're going to work together and he has two years on his contract, that's sort of an awkward spot. You know, when Dame Lillard went to the Trailblazers and said, I want to be traded, the Blazers said, we're going to trade you, but you have four years on your contract. You're not going to have agency. And he didn't, you know, he was okay with Milwaukee in the end, but he wanted to go other places. Giannis is in is in the awkward spot. For Milwaukee to get the most in return, Giannis would really have to endorse where he was going, that he would sign an extension, then you're gonna. Then you're gonna get more. Because if you're a team like San Antonio, maybe you're not giving Stefan Castle in both lottery picks this year. If you just think you're getting him for two years, you want Giannis coming and saying, I'm signing an extension with you, then you're saying, okay, you're going to be our Victor. Wembanyama build out. That's what you're going to be for your back of your prime. And going into Victor's prime, that's what's going to be. So because of that, if Giannis looked at the Bucks and said, I only want to be in place X, the Bucks would probably be highly incentivized to try to make that happen. So if you have a team, because, you know, naturally, when a star player becomes available, there's certain markets that just, can we get him? The Lakers or the warriors couldn't win a bidding war. Like, if Milwaukee said the market's open, there's no way they could win a bidding war. If Giannis went in and said, I want to end, I want to be with Steph Curry. That's who I want to play with. Is there a deal that could happen between those two teams? Yes. Yes. I would be lying to you if I told you the warriors couldn't trade for Giannis. That could happen, but it is not something that would happen if it was an open market, and we just don't know yet.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Could you see Joker saying to the front office in Denver, what are we doing here?

[Tony Reali]

I would hope say that, but I don't know that he would say that. He has never articulated that, and he has certainly never done it publicly, and I've never heard about it privately. But if you're looking at this team, there are two players short. You know, they're Two players short. And what ended up unfortunately happening in this particular postseason was that Michael Porter Jr. Got hurt and he was a shell of the player that he normally is. People were criticizing him and I'm like, well, if you saw the way he played in the regular season, that's who he is. Like, he's, he's an imperfect player, but he's much better than the player he showed in the playoffs. And then unfortunately, Aaron Gordon got hurt. And we'll never know what would have happened in Game 7 if Aaron Gordon was healthy. I don't know. He was a huge difference making player. And so all of a sudden you're down to like three guys you could trust on that team. And the build out of that roster is one of the reasons why the general manager got fired. People focus on Michael Malone getting fired. The general manager got fired too. And you know, it was, was because the build out of the roster fell short. That that team at the top end is a championship team and. But they're not championship team in the middle, in the back end, and it's costing two years in a row.

[Rebecca Lowe]

What player, marquee player, star player of the final four would benefit the most from winning a championship? If you said Brunson, Shea, Gilgames, Ant man or Halliburton?

[Tony Reali]

Well, what Jalen Brunson is doing in New York is historic. And I think that would be the best story. And if you want to brand me as somebody who's works for ESPN and wants the New York team to win, that's fine. I'm from Cleveland, I live in Omaha. That story is amazing. And here's the other thing. Like I don't. And again, this goes back to the aprons. And I know it's such a boring topic and it's a buzzkill, but Jalen Brunson taking that contract that he took.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Yeah.

[Tony Reali]

Is going to be the gift that keeps on giving for the Knicks. The Knicks are here ahead of schedule. The Knicks strategy was to get some players in their 20s that they thought were together and then take advantage of Brunson's willingness to alter his contract and then build this team out over the next three or four years. They were really looking at the beginning of a window where they were going to outmanage other teams in the salary structure because of what Brunson was willing to do. People attack that Bridges trade, and that's fine. You can attack the Bridges trade. You can, you can put up a beautiful PowerPoint presentation about it. The Bridges trade happened in conjunction with Brunson signing the deal where he took $100 million less. That's the only way to look at it. And Brunson doing that and then potentially leading this team through. You know, the Knicks as a team are not an elite the Knicks as a unit are not an elite team. But they are so mentally tough. And they're so mentally tough because of Brunson and watching him do it and, and leading that team with his mental toughness is a very, very compelling story. But of course, I could tell you, Dan, any one of these four teams, it's really fascinating because you've got Aunt Edwards, who's potentially an heir apparent. You've got the Pacers, who are a beautifully built team who are extremely fun to watch. Watching them play is extremely fun. And Tyrese Halliburton, when he is cooking is as enjoyable to watch as any player in the league. And then you have the MVP on, on, on a team that was built organically like the Oklahoma City Thunder are the blueprint of how to build a sustainable team. And they've won. They've got an MVP award and then the guy is going to win the MVP in the next few days. So I think all of them are good, but I think Brunson story, especially since the Knicks haven't won. Actually, none of these teams have won. The Knicks haven't won since 73 and nobody else has ever won an NBA title. The Pacers, number one in the NBA, obviously, the Wolves and the Thunder. The Thunder haven't won since Oklahoma City. They won in the 70s in Seattle. But I think all of them are new blood that are interesting.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Great to talk to you again. Thanks for spending time.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare.

[Dan Patrick]

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.

[Brian Windhorst]

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.

[Dan Patrick]

This should be illegal, but what is this?

[Brian Windhorst]

This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville. This is Levittown, a new podcast from.

We make way for a man who might be going through a midlife crisis.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you for the, for the pub there.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Great to see you.

[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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Dan, you got the bomber. Yeah, I know.

[Dan Patrick]

There's pads in there.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Oh, yeah, you got.

[Dan Patrick]

In case I roll.

[Rebecca Lowe]

You got padded. You got shoulder pads?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, shoulder pads.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

I always wanted bigger shoulders, you know, but.

[Rebecca Lowe]

But. 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[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 feeling great.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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, 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 too woke.

[Dan Patrick]

Too much money elsewhere? I mean, there certainly wasn't money. 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. If 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 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 Plaschke is. Tim Calashaw 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 to. 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 with 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

But these were suggestions that you had.

[Dan Patrick]

I mean, I threw them out to my immediates, the great Eric Reid 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Okay, but mute button and app, maybe athletes.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I'm speaking, I'm speaking very frankly here. I, I, I would throw out the kitchen sink. I, I know what I can do on tv and it's not just a mute button and a scoring system. I don't, you know, 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's 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 esp. Yeah.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah.

[Rebecca Lowe]

I was ready.

[Dan Patrick]

I was in a place now where I wanted to get the, 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Tony Reali for now. His business card reads around the Horn host until this Friday.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Well, that's Keith Olbermann left.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 six o' clock sports center.

[Dan Patrick]

Were you wearing a motorcycle jacket?

[Rebecca Lowe]

I was not.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Rebecca Lowe]

I was not doing that. But I, I remember I was throwing out to Sao Palantonio for whatever and I just, it, 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 to want feel that way, you know, like, okay, it'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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[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 four and a half million clicks on it. We're announcing incredible new parts of our network. In the future of the industry and all these things, it's not seen four and a half million clicks. I, I, when I took came up for air after that first week when I found out and I was like, I said, I'm gonna 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?

[Rebecca Lowe]

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. I said, you know, you're doing dime, 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Yeah, okay.

[Dan Patrick]

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 SportsCenter, do 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 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Here's one episode that I'm most proud of. Is there an episode of around the 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 type 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. I did it and I knew I was intentional of how I wanted 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

You know, when you talk about Calishaw's sobriety, his real Goodyears coming out, I.

[Dan Patrick]

Mean, these were all things. Now, again, you could 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 gonna 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 in your home life or in this show tomorrow. And you're gonna 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

I want you to score the show.

[Dan Patrick]

Let's go around the hole.

[Rebecca Lowe]

I want you to do with the Danets.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, I'm with them.

[Rebecca Lowe]

And I want to know this scoring system. And you know, and you'll pick the topic.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay?

[Rebecca Lowe]

Okay. For the Dan. It's okay.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, what, you take breaks on the show?

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

[Tony Reali]

Forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways. Three or four days a week I would buy two cups of banana pudding, but the price has gone up so now I only buy one.

[Dan Patrick]

The demand curve in action. And that's just one of the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business. From Bloomberg Business Week, I'm Max Chavkin.

[Tony Reali]

And I'm Stacey Vanek Smith. Every Friday we will be diving into the biggest stories in business, taking a look at what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday lives.

[Dan Patrick]

Guests like BusinessWeek editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams, and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull will take you inside the boardrooms, the back rooms, even the signal chats that make our economy tick.

This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best selling author and meat eater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps in the the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to the American west with Dan.

[Brian Windhorst]

In 2020, a group of Young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare.

[Dan Patrick]

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.

[Brian Windhorst]

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.

[Dan Patrick]

This should be illegal, but what is this?

[Brian Windhorst]

This is a story about a technology that's moving fast, faster than the law, and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville. This is Levittown, a new podcast from.

[Dan Patrick]

Iheart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope.

[Brian Windhorst]

Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's big take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Oh, TV royalty. Tony Reali.

[Dan Patrick]

All right.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 at 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 ants as 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. Rich 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, paul, I gotta get some stats. Because reality 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 Fritzi. All right, and then Marvin's coming in and he's saying, as the only panelist who watched this game or as the only panel 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Of bad way to try to get points.

[Dan Patrick]

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?

[Rebecca Lowe]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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, I believe this to be the case. 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Okay. So you give them the topic, and then you'll judge them.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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. 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 Purdy's new deal at over 50 million per for Purdy. Around the horn. Paul.

[Tony Reali]

The 49ers had no choice but to sign him. He bailed them out of the Trey Lance situation. Paid him yet, and he's good. Not great, but not bad enough to move on from.

[Dan Patrick]

That's a terrible way to make an argument, Paul. Just leave it at good. He's good. All right, Fritzy, do I see you back there? Around the horn, Fritzy. By herself.

[Tony Reali]

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.

[Dan Patrick]

That kind of money?

[Tony Reali]

They didn't win a Super Bowl.

[Dan Patrick]

Mute, mute. How desperate are we that we're trying to get that USFL audience? You know, man, if you love sports in 1980, you're going to love this take from Fritzi.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 the money? Good, but manageable. Money is front loaded up to top. These are all winners for this, for this team. Dink, dink, dink, dink, dink Marvin around the horny hill. Love the Brock Purdy contract. First of all, he saved John Lynch's job as general manager for all those trade picks to go up the.

[Rebecca Lowe]

For Trey Lance.

[Dan Patrick]

And then, you know what? Think maybe Marvin.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Keep going.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

We got the commercial break. PTI feel 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 your face. I'm a face scorer. Right. The listening face, Dan. You know, the listening face.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 will get 30 seconds of FaceTime.

[Tony Reali]

See?

[Dan Patrick]

Now let's see if you have a second gear. You can talk about anything you want in FaceTime. Seaton.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Crystal palace winning the FA Cup.

[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. That's exactly the kind of momentum that.

[Rebecca Lowe]

You need heading into the World cup in the United States next year. Vamos, boys.

[Dan Patrick]

Let's go. This is incredible.

[Brian Windhorst]

Wow.

[Dan Patrick]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 gonna find that 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 okay with that. 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 love 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 I had 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 there 1900 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

You ever get brought on the carpet by management?

[Dan Patrick]

Not once. Never.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

I wasn't doing it right.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 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 want to. 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[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 at this.

[Rebecca Lowe]

I overheard you say that you brought gifts.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

Have you been to Naples?

[Dan Patrick]

I haven't been to Naples.

[Rebecca Lowe]

No.

[Dan Patrick]

No.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

That's, you know, now it's something that may be available to families from Naples and Reggio, the Calabria. We've done other parts of Italy, but that's going to be. That's going to be next.

[Rebecca Lowe]

But now a show called around the Boot.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

Yeah. Tony. Tony Realis around the Boot Board Aid.

[Dan Patrick]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

That's.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Smithsonian.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I can get you a mute button. I can get my hands on a mute button. I'm gonna 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

How about we just ravage the set?

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

During this.

[Dan Patrick]

I thought about that during the show.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

That's my. My version of the mute button. And Fritzi freaks out because he gets claustrophobic.

[Dan Patrick]

Get a little hot in here.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Yeah. All right. So you brought gifts.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

When I work with Letterman. I'm starting now. When I work with Oberman. 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. Okay.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

Some tasty little streets. Chocolate covered Oreos.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Oh, okay.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

Well, look what we got. No. Nobody's more excited than Fritzy.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Tony Reali]

That looks fantastic.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

You always, always bring something.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Would you like to guest host this show one day?

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

We. All right.

[Dan Patrick]

Can we make that. Do you know a guy?

[Rebecca Lowe]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

Or you could just take the train.

[Dan Patrick]

I hadn't considered that.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Grand Central. Take the train.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. Next time, it would be my honor.

[Rebecca Lowe]

And privilege, but we'll let you decide who you want on.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't think you want to do that.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Oh, yeah, I know.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

Well, it's good. You do it. Since I never saw an episode.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

But see, my wife's Italian. We don't. We don't even joke about the mob. It doesn't come up.

[Dan Patrick]

They're missing out on all the good stuff. It's really. It's so. It's. It's a human show. Much like around the horn was about. About feeling.

[Rebecca Lowe]

So we're not.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 smiled 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Oh, my God.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

This is my gift to you.

[Rebecca Lowe]

We.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

No, we'll put it. We reenacted the LeBron James Dwayne Wade. Where.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. 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 Dwyane Wade in the foreground. And. And I wanted Dan dunking.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

I'll take your mute button. Yes, I won't use the mute, but.

[Dan Patrick]

No, but you'll have one on the set.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

I would appreciate that.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Rebecca Lowe]

You can always, you know, call me up.

[Dan Patrick]

My dumps look different than other people's dumps, you know? 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Oh, all right. Yeah. My wife is from state.

[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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

All right. Great to see you.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Have fun on Friday.

[Dan Patrick]

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

[Rebecca Lowe]

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

[Dan Patrick]

There will be no other way.

[Rebecca Lowe]

Good, 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.

[Rebecca Lowe]

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 could say it's canceled. It's being sunset. All right. It's. 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.

Listen to Made for this mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A lot of times, big economic forces.

[Tony Reali]
