The Dan Patrick Show: Best Of – March 23, 2026

Podcast Overview

This "Best Of" episode features the signature blend of sports insights, humor, and pop-culture banter that defines The Dan Patrick Show. Centered on the excitement and drama of March Madness, Dan is joined by Hall of Famer Charles Barkley and his regular crew (Seaton, Todd Fusco, Marvin, Dylan Darling) for lively conversations about NCAA tournament upsets, the current landscape of college and pro basketball, and candid reflections on sports, coaching, and emotional moments off the court.

March Madness – No ‘True’ Cinderella?

Main Points:

• Dan challenges the idea that Texas, as an 11 seed, is a "Cinderella," citing high roster spending and major conference membership. He highlights that real Cinderella stories are rare in today's game due to the concentration of talent and resources among power conferences.
• Analysis of team budgets: Kentucky rumored to have spent $22M+, Arkansas $10M+, other blue bloods noted, shifting the landscape of what's possible for so-called underdogs ([03:03]).
• North Carolina and Hubert Davis’s uncertain future is discussed, especially with comparisons to Duke. Dan muses on whether the UNC head coaching job is still as desirable ([03:03], [30:07]).

Quote:

“I know we love the Cinderella story, and please don’t tell me Texas is a Cinderella as an 11 seed. They have rumored to have spent around $5 million on their roster this season.” — Dan Patrick (03:03)

Coaching Legends & Adaptation in the Modern Game

Main Points:

• Dan and the crew reflect on how coaches like John Calipari, Rick Pitino, and Tom Izzo remain successful by adapting to the era’s challenges—transfer portal, NIL, changing athlete expectations ([07:01]).
• Praise for Pitino’s evolving career: “Different programs, different decades, same outcome, because neither coach stayed the same. They all adjusted. And that's what coaching is nowadays.” — Dan Patrick (08:02)
• Barkley adds recruiting is now a year-round grind, with coaches serving as CEOs managing agents, boosters, and collectives as much as players ([10:10]).

Quote:

“You’re a CEO, not an X and O. And that’s the difference here. You got to cater to the collectives, coaches, agents, and then you finally get out to coach.” — Dan Patrick (10:27)

Strategy & Second-Guessing: Tournament Frustrations

Main Points:

• Dan and Charles Barkley passionately dissect questionable late-game strategies in recent tournament upsets. Both criticize pressing and defensive decisions by coaches, especially in Iowa’s upset of Florida and St. John’s win over Kansas ([12:44], [14:02]).
• Barkley recounts a moment where he predicted the perils of pressing defense, which played out exactly as he described ([22:44]).

Quotes:

“All you got to do is beat one guy. If you beat the press, it’s three on two… you gave them the opportunity to size up a three, an uncontested three.” — Dan Patrick (12:44)
“If they press, it’s just gonna be a fast-break starter… That was one of the worst defensive calls. It was just a bad play.” — Charles Barkley (24:36)

Timestamps:

• [12:44] – Dan’s breakdown of pressing as a risky endgame strategy
• [22:44] – Barkley’s real-time call on the Iowa-Florida endgame

---

Player Empowerment & Changing College Coach Tenure

Main Points:

• Barkley notes that high coaching turnover is now inevitable due to boosters’ expectations to ‘win now’ and the expenses involved with player payments ([30:13]).
• In the NBA, Barkley argues that player power disadvantages coaches, who are easily dismissed if star athletes are unhappy ([32:17]).

Quote:

“You got to pay all these guys every year, and if they don’t produce, you the one gonna get the blame… boosters… they’re like, ‘wait, you’re coming to me every year for millions and millions, and we’re not winning?’” — Charles Barkley (30:13)

---

Barkley Unfiltered – Parenting, Coaches, and Career Regrets

Memorable Moments:

• Classic Barkley storytelling: on the perils of corporal punishment with Hot Wheels racetrack as a kid ([33:18])
• On being coachable, importance of star players accepting criticism, and why being disciplined was key to team success—praises Billy Cunningham and Greg Popovich ([36:12], [37:31])
• Reflects candidly on wishing the Houston Rockets phase of his career hadn't happened ([38:30])

Fun & Games: Betting, Disappointment Draft, and Show Banter

Main Points:

• Dylan Darling tragically recounts losing a $5,000, 10-team parlay on a busted Akron bet ([47:51]), prompting jokes and sympathy from the crew.
• The “Disappointment Draft” is explained—contestants pick high seeds hoping they’ll win the fewest games, a March Madness twist unique to the show ([51:09]).
• Bantering about bracket picks, updated gambling odds, and the agony/ecstasy of March betting.

Quote:

“I also told the entire nation ahead of time that it was hanging in the balance, which probably, in the gambling God’s eyes, was not a great idea.” — Dylan Darling (49:38)

---

Emotional Moments & Personal Reflections

Main Points:

• Dan opens up about his increasing emotionality at events— weddings, live performances—and his self-diagnosed stage fright, especially regarding speeches for his daughter’s wedding ([57:30] onward).
• Listeners call in with advice and stories (e.g., beta blockers, rehearsal tips), while the crew jokes about hiring a “wedding enforcer” or using an IFB & teleprompter for Dan’s father-of-the-bride speech.

Quote:

“I don’t know if I have stage fright, but… when I have the microphone and I hear my voice and nothing else, something happens to me.” — Dan Patrick (57:30)

  “Y’all can kiss my big black ass. I’m gonna say what I gotta say. Some of y’all gonna like it and some of y’all not. And y’all will get over it.” (35:24)

---

[Dan Patrick]

I know we love the Cinderella story, and please don't tell me that Texas is a Cinderella story as an 11 seed. Now, they have rumored to have spent around $5 million on their roster this season. Just to give you an idea, these aren't official. I'm trying to find out how much teams have spent. Kentucky, they have spent I think over 20, 22 million dollars, but Arkansas, over 10 million. BYU, they spent maybe 5 to 7 on one player, Duke, Indiana. Indiana missed the tournament. They rumored to have spent at least $10 million in Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, North Carolina, St. John's and Texas Tech. Back to North Carolina. Going to be an interesting week for Hubert Davis and North Carolina. And it's strange to hear analysts say, is this a desirable job? And to me, this feels like, you know, they're the blue bloods. These are, you know, those stocks that you invest in and you keep them forever. And then all of a sudden you go, why isn't it a great job? Are they spending the money you have? Of course, the comparison eight miles down the road with Duke, Hubert Davis bows out. They blow a big lead in the second half and it feels like, and once again, these are just analysts who have been speaking. He might have to make changes to his staff. Now, sometimes when they say that the coach will make those changes or the coach will say, I can't do that. I can't fire these people. But it might be last call for Hubert Davis. Maybe it already has been last call and we might have some movement there as early as today. Iowa knocks out the defending champ Florida Gators, St. John's against KU at the buzzer. And it sounded like this. No fouls. Inbound comes to Garland. Three seconds, two seconds.

[Todd Fusco]

Going on the drive to the rim. Layup is good. Layup is good. St. John's wins 16, 7, 65. The St. John's Red Storm storm into the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1999.

[Dan Patrick]

That's courtesy of Westwood One Radio. Second straight year in which every Sweet 16 comes from the five major conferences. You know, major conferences became a thing in 1997 with the formation of the Big 12. But that's why you can't look at Texas and say, they're a Cinderella story. I know they're 11 seed, but you're playing in a big boy conference there. You know, they underachieve, maybe during the year, but that doesn't make them a Cinderella story. Miami of Ohio, Cinderella story. High point, Cinderella story. We don't have those Cinderella stories. It doesn't take away. These are still Great Games. Kansas, St. John's there's no Cinderella story there. It was just a great game that felt like a Big east game back in the 1980s. It was, you know, back and forth, physical, low scoring. And the guy who hadn't scored a bucket all game says, I want to have the ball. Here is Rick Pitino on that play. Here's the amazing thing and the funniest thing I've ever been involved with. So we're going to run a play and. But they got fouls to give. And Bells comes up to me and says, run power, which is a high back screen pick and roll. So I walk away. I said, okay, Power, walk away. And said, wait a second. He hasn't scored a bucket and he wants to run a play for himself. And I'm thinking as I'm walking, I

[Charles Barkley]

said, but he's Bells.

[Dan Patrick]

And not only did he do it,

[Todd Fusco]

he went with his right hand.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, Dylan Darling. His nickname is Bells. I think people have talked about how he got that nickname. It was a great game strategy, two hall of Fame coaches, and that's what you want. I mean, March Madness is all about the coaches. When you think about how great these coaches, how many great coaches are in the tournament, still in the tournament. But I started to think about John Calipari and Rick Pitino. And today's athletic landscape is all about adapting. And some guys can't do it, won't do it, and they bow out, they retire. But you look at Patino and Caliperi, certainly Pitino, he's a lifer. But, you know, here they are in the sweet 16, and they have, you know, such a great track record of winning. Caliperi turned UMass into a force, took Memphis to a national title game, won it all at Kentucky, Arkansas, won the SEC title. Patino's resume, he took Providence to a Final Four championships at Kentucky and Louisville, and then he went overseas and won a championship in Greece. Then he turned Iona into a tournament team, and now he's got St. John's back in the national spotlight. Different programs, different decades, same outcome, because neither coach stayed the same. They all adjusted. And that's what coaching is nowadays. Not just having a system, but knowing when to adapt and change. That's the system. And that's why you see Tom Izzo. You know, it's no accident his teams get better in the tournament, but maybe it's. He's better in the tournament than your coach. And I think that's something to be said to still have the energy to do it. And that's the first thing that goes, I think, with a coach or even a player. Sometimes it's just that willingness to, you know, or the energy that it takes, certainly with a coach. I mean, Tom is a Hall of Famer, and he could retire, he could walk away, but there's part of him that it feels like, hey, I can do this again. And a lot of his players aren't great pros, but they're great tournament players. And that says something about Tom Izzo, you know, Calipari, Pitino. They. And I was. And this has been said about other coaches, they could take their players and beat you. They could take your players and beat you. That's how good a coach they are. But when you get college basketball, when you can really, it feels like college football. I mean, Nick Saban, most of the work that he did was prior to playing the game. Patino, it's the game. It's. It's Calipari. It's the game, Hurley. It's the game. It's. What do I do right now with this play? Bill Self almost pulled off a really interesting strategy there. He just left a little too much time on the clock. And the last guy in the building you thought was going to take the shot, beat you to the hoop. Yes, Marvin.

[Charles Barkley]

Especially with somebody like Izzo. I think it's a lot of energy with recruiting. Transfer portal. It's never ending. Those guys in the summer, they're running around all over the country looking at players and things like that, and then nil. And now you just add a whole nother dimension to being a college coach.

[Dan Patrick]

You got to adapt. You have to embrace it. You may not like it. You know, the old, you know, Saban wasn't going to do it. Jay Wright didn't want to do it. Tony Bennett didn't want to do it. Jay Wright and Tony Bennett should still be coaching. But they were like, I don't want to do this. I don't want to. I don't want to do this. The coaching part is the easy part. It's all the other moving parts where you're going, oh, my God, what do we got to do? Wait, the kid wants what? Wait, did we get him? How much? We got to give him how much more? Wait, he. He wants to. He'll stay. But you're a CEO, not an X and O. And that's the difference here. And you got to cater to the collectives. And then you got coaches, and then you got agents, and then you're dealing with. And then you get out there and you get to coach. It's a breath of fresh air. You're like, okay, this is what I built. But there is no Cinderella story. You may not know. Texas team the Iowa, Nebraska. Awesome.

[Seaton]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Seaton comes in today and he goes, do you know how much they hate each other? Oh, man. I said, well, download. And he goes, well, driving cross country a couple of times when you go into Iowa, you're told, I got directions for you to avoid Nebraska. Yeah.

[Seaton]

They're like, at some point very soon, you have to stop driving west and either go north or south because there's. There's just a piece of the country that you do not want to go through.

[Dan Patrick]

That's great. That's great. Poll question today. What are we going to start out with Seaton?

[Seaton]

We got a few options here. One of them. Well, two of them, actually, we need some help with. I need help phrasing this one because it sounds more rude than I mean it to, but the biggest losers this weekend were Florida, Kentucky, Kansas, or the lower seeds.

[Dan Patrick]

I'd say Florida, defending national champs. I. I'd say Florida. Plus,

[Seaton]

Is there. Is there any other time of year that you get more frustrated with basketball than this?

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, I'm just watching and I'm going, okay. I wouldn't pick them up full court. Then it's going to be a three on two, and then Iowa has a jumper from the corner. They break the press, pick them up at half court. You know, light pressure. Don't let them get an advantage. And you let them get an advantage on you. But they're kids. But they're they're coached by grown ups. That's where I go. No, you don't press them, because all they have to do is beat. If they beat it, then they're going to beat you, and they either make a two or they make a three. You gave them the opportunity to size up a three. An uncontested three.

[Seaton]

Kid drained it, though.

[Dan Patrick]

I did. Kid drained it. That's awesome. There are just times when I go, why? Why? Why? But give credit to Iowa. I mean, it's an unbelievable. You want to play that, Marvin? Here's the call on the Hawkeye Radio Network.

[Charles Barkley]

Full court pressure patch gets it into

[Dan Patrick]

skirts to al Fulgaris for three in the lead. God. Good.

[Todd Fusco]

With 3.9 to go, no timeout. Florida's on a timeouts.

[Charles Barkley]

Iowa will use its last timeout.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, my God. All you got to do is beat. If you beat it, then it's three on two, and then you decide what shot you want. Yes, Marvin.

[Charles Barkley]

And this is the national championship coach.

[Dan Patrick]

I know.

[Charles Barkley]

He just won it last year.

[Dan Patrick]

I know. I just. I can have some pressure. I just want you in front of me. I can't let you behind me. You got what? Yay. You got what you deserved, you know, and give Iowa credit. And no, they're not a Cinderella story, either. You can't be in the Big Ten and say, oh, we're a Cinderella story, or the sec. You're not a Cinderella story.

[Charles Barkley]

Yes, Marvin, what makes you more angry? Not doubling the best player or just messing up on a play like that with Floor yesterday? Both. They.

[Dan Patrick]

They're equal. They drive me crazy. It's like, oh, that guy's got the ball. I don't want him to have the ball. I want somebody who is not used. That's why you can look at the St. John's play and say, that's probably the guy you want to shoot. I just don't want an uncontested layup. And it felt like Kansas didn't know what was happening. They're like, they had strategy. Foul, foul, foul, foul. Well, now you can't foul. And they almost forgot. Like, wait a minute. No, you just play good defense and don't let somebody get a backdoor cut or go to the hoop. I couldn't be a coach now. I wouldn't be like Mick Cronin. Oh, you got a technical for clapping. I know, but he clapped with attitude. Mick's gotta win a little more to be that kind of personality. Like Danny Hurley. He's firing. He wins titles. Mick Cronin, it's like, he's kind of goofy and kind of crazy, but he's entertaining. Yes.

[Seaton]

Dan Hurley is aware enough to know, like, yes, I'm a lunatic.

[Dan Patrick]

I would.

[Seaton]

Trust me. I wish I wasn't this way. I'm sorry that I'm this way, but it's who I am and I'm trying to be better. Mick Cronin is sort of like, yeah, you're welcome. You're welcome that I am who I am. You're welcome. There's a very different energy between the

[Dan Patrick]

two, but if you. Yeah. Hurley, kind of when he comes on, you'll be like, I know, I know, I know.

[Seaton]

I just. I wish I didn't. I know.

[Dan Patrick]

Mick Cronin's not apologizing. He's not.

Like a real job right now, just like a real Thursday and Friday are like, that's like the only time in my life I had like a real job. Because you're on from noon to midnight. Yes, once you get to Thursday and Friday. But man, right now my life feels like a real job. But you know, all the heavy lifting is over, man. It's just fun for here on out.

[Dan Patrick]

But you like watching college or the NBA if you had to choose.

[Charles Barkley]

There's nothing like March Madness. I've said this before, especially the Final Four is the greatest thing ever other than the Olympics. I've been honored and blessed to play in the Olympics twice, and this is on a whole nother level against any sporting event because I tell people, like in the playoffs or anything, you have seven games. You never know which game is going to be iconic. But when you go to the Olympics, man, it's unbelievable. But I'll tell you this, man, the Final Four is the second best thing I've ever been a part of other than the Olympics.

[Dan Patrick]

What frustrates you the most when you're watching these games?

[Charles Barkley]

Well, I can't watch it like a regular fan. Like, I'm just like, you have to always say, like, what was that guy thinking? What was that guy thinking? So, like, I'm like, and I'M not trying to say that I was the greatest thing, but I know how to play really good basketball. But you see yourself guys doing stuff. You're like, it was so funny yesterday. Clark Kellogg, who's an amazing dude, man. He's an amazing dude, and I love working with him. And Adam Zucker and N. Burleson was great himself. Jonah and Renee Montgomery. But Clark says to me, you think they're going to pressure? I said, no, hell no. They're not going to put pressure. He said, why would you not press? I said, well, you got to lead. But I said, if you put pressure, you're just going to start a fast break and give up a wide open three more than likely. And five, 10 seconds later, because I was saying, I said, well, you got to leave. Why would you pressure? Just keep the ball in front of you. Make them make a shot. I said, if they press, they just gonna start a fast break. And I'm. It was just like, I, I. I didn't know they were. I said, they probably gonna end up getting the three, too, because that guy's gonna be coming downhill fast. And like, in NBA, nobody goes to shoot a layup. They spread out to the three. So it was really cool. A moment I had exactly like. And it worked out. I said, they gonna. I said, oh, they better not press it. They just gonna be a fast break starter. But I hate watching bad basketball. That's. That's probably my. One of my really weaknesses, to be honest with you. I hate bad basketball.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I'm with you on the pressing. Iowa. I didn't understand it. I want everything in front of me. Make them have to work it a little bit. All you got to do is beat one guy. If you beat. If you beat the press, it's three on two, and all you got to do is sit in the corner and

[Charles Barkley]

you got to lead. Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

I know.

[Charles Barkley]

I was like. Because I said, if they press, it's just gonna be a fast break starter. And it was just one of the worst defensive calls. It was just a bad play. And then he compounded it after the game and said, well, we were gonna foul. I'm like, that makes it even worse. Are you chasing dudes if you're gonna foul? You know, I wish I would. I wish he had a said. And I think coach golden is a terrific coach. You know what? Because I will actually outplay them and deserve to win the game. That's what he should have said. He said, you know what? They outplayed us because they outplayed him. They deserve to win that game.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Charles Barkley]

I mean, they beat their front line up with a bunch of little dudes. They outworked them. They out hustled them. The coach had a great game plan. So listen, that's what he should have said. And saying something like we, like we did, we were gonna file. That was a bad look.

[Dan Patrick]

What about Kansas? St. John's with. I mean, I like the strategy that Bill Self had. A foul take time. Foul take time. Foul take time. But then they kind of forgot what they were doing with that last play.

[Charles Barkley]

Well, first of all, hats off to Kansas for coming back. There's no way they should have even been in that game. That game was over. They played terrible. They got four offensive rebounds in a row and put back the only reason they were in the game. If, if St. John's get one of those rebounds, the game is over. I didn't, I didn't mind the strategy. I just thought they should have saved one foul. But that was just bad defense. That was a straight line drive. You can't give up a straight line drive. I know people talking about come help. If you come help, you going to give up a three. But there's no way you should get beat on the stick. The guy didn't have to veer at all. He just got the ball and drove right down the lane and shot a layup. So that was bad defense on his part. But you know what? They outplayed Kansas and they deserve to win that game. They almost gave it away now.

[Dan Patrick]

No, I know.

[Charles Barkley]

But they played well. If that team could shoot, they would be dangerous.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, they shoot a lot of threes, but.

[Charles Barkley]

And they not making them. Hey, you know what it's like. They're like, see, that's one of the reasons I get first away at the NBA. Dude, everybody can't shoot threes. And I don't mind you shooting threes if you're a good three point shooter.

[Dan Patrick]

Would you be shooting threes if you played in the NBA?

[Charles Barkley]

No, but I probably would have to adapt to shoot some threes. But I would work on it. Work on it. I try to be realistically. If you could get to 40% if you're shooting 30 or less, you shouldn't be shooting threes. So. No, I would. You probably have to adapt. To be honest with you, I got

[Dan Patrick]

you at 34% when you were in Phoenix for one year.

[Charles Barkley]

That's not good, Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

But I.

[Charles Barkley]

But I didn't take a lot. I would. I bet you can count on one hand the times I took more than three. I'm pretty sure of that.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, you had Marley, so you didn't need to be taking threes.

[Charles Barkley]

I did have Marley. That's my man. But, like, you don't have to shoot. Arizona, my pick to win it all, shoots at least amount of threes of any team in the country there. And they're. And to me, them in Michigan. I've always said this. I thought Arizona, Michigan were the two best teams all year. No disrespect to Duke or Florida or UConn. Those are all the ones, number ones. But I thought. I've said from the beginning, I think Arizona is going to win this thing. I think Michigan is right there with them. And Arizona shoots the least amount of two threes in the.

[Dan Patrick]

In.

[Charles Barkley]

In the whole country. So it's going to be. It's going to be interesting. It's going to be a great tournament going forward. Man. It's Norris Madness. Never, ever lets us down. It's always spectacular.

[Dan Patrick]

Talking to Charles Barkley. How do you explain Rick Patino still doing what he does and doing it at a high level? And he's been everywhere. NBA, Europe, small college, medium college, big college.

[Charles Barkley]

He's just a great coach. His players are really good players. They're developed. I saw Jamal Mashburn talking about, like, he coaches the team, but he makes you do individual stuff to work on your basketball skills. And I think that's genius because you have two components of a team. You have the team, but you. You got to work. Like, no, you need to go work on this. I mean, I never. I just happened to be listening because, you know, we have 10 TVs on during the game, watching four games at a time. But I was clicking on in the studio in Atlanta, and he was talking about how and Jamal played for him 30 years ago. Patino was the best I've ever seen. He wore. He says, we have a team practice, and then he has an individual thing later. And I'm like, how many coaches? I know that. Greg Popovich always did that. I know Pat Riley does that. When I was in the finals a couple times, I saw those guys working on stuff. They didn't come out there just to shoot and get loose. They were working on individual skills. I think there's one thing that's lost, like. Like, yeah, you can play basketball, but you've got to get better at doing individual things because then you want to come together as a team.

[Dan Patrick]

North Carolina feels like they're at a crossroads with Hubert Davis. Yeah.

[Charles Barkley]

Surprising. Surprising. This quickly didn't he play for the championship like two years ago?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah, and two years.

[Charles Barkley]

But you know, Dan, college sports have changed forever. What I mean by that, These people are not gonna let you pay kids. They're not gonna let you pay them all these millions and lose. Yeah, it's unfortunate that after being in the championship game two years ago, but I said this. You know, we were talking about Bill Self, who's one of the great dud coaches. Like, the game has changed, man. These coaches, you're not going to get a long Runway anymore. These boosters who are coming up with all this money, they're like, wait, you're coming to me every year for millions and millions of dollars and we're not winning? The whole. The whole landscape has changed and it'll never be the same again. And that's just the way it is. Is it right or wrong? No, it's not right or wrong. But if you're gonna pay these kids all this money, you gonna have to win. And that's just the way it is. It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is, brother.

[Dan Patrick]

Does Kenny Smith want the North Carolina job?

[Charles Barkley]

Kenny could even make it through the weekend. Dan, he got sick this weekend. Oh, no.

[Dan Patrick]

Listen, man, his son's going there. Does he. He doesn't want to coach North Carolina.

[Charles Barkley]

Let me tell you, two jobs that I would not want any coach right now because these players. And I'm not bashing the players because it's different. We got two different things going here in college. You got to pay all these guys every year, and if they don't produce, you the one gonna get the blame in the NBA. You can't even coach these guys. They're making so much money. Like, if they don't like you, you're gonna be gone. You can see, it's funny. I was. I haven't been watching a lot of NBA, but I've been reading the story what's going on in Orlando between the coach.

[Dan Patrick]

Even when you're supposed to be watching a lot of NBA, you don't want to watch a lot of NBA.

[Charles Barkley]

No, I watch the good teams. I don't watch. I don't. I don't. You know, my mind won't let me fix it on watching bad basketball. It just won't. But I see that the coach and what the rumors are true. The coach and Paulo Bankero are not getting along. So the coach can start packing his stuff up because Paolo Vancero is a heck of a player and he's probably going to be making 50, 60, $70 million in the next couple years. And the guy who's making the least amount of money is going to be packing his bags. I think Coach Mosler is a good coach. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but the players have so much power now, it's crazy. You can't even yell at them anymore. You can't. Like, I don't. When you yell at somebody when they do something wrong, that's called being a coach. Like, you can't even. People talking about. You can't yell at your kids. Yes, hell, you can yell at your kids. You whoop their ass too, with it. Let me tell you.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't think you're allowed to do that. I don't think you can whoop ass anymore.

[Charles Barkley]

Yes, you can. That's why these kids are crazy. And the kids, let me tell you this, don't ever get no damn Hot Wheel racetracks because those things are dangerous and they leave whips.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, wait, who? Like your grandma? Did you take a piece of the track to whip you?

[Charles Barkley]

Oh, listen, once I got. Once I got too old for switches.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah.

[Charles Barkley]

And for you white folks, switches are tree limbs. Once I got too big for the switches, and then I actually became a switch expert, I would get one that would break after about the fifth or sixth. You had to get one of those. You can't get one of those that are kind of wet because they don't break. You got to get one that's kind of dry. They break after five or six. But then one year, Dad, I made the mistake of getting those Hot Wheel racetracks, and I. Man, that was one of the worst decisions ever. So kids never get Hot Wheel racetrack.

[Dan Patrick]

I loved Hot Wheels, man.

[Charles Barkley]

Hey, I. I did, too, until it became a weapon.

[Dan Patrick]

I gotta give your grandma credit for looking at it. You know, I got. I got spanked with this. With a switch.

[Charles Barkley]

Yeah. Listen, I believe in discipline. I don't want. I'm not going around telling people to beat their kids. But I think if you don't spank your kids and discipline them, they turn into some of these brats that we got today. I'm not saying I'm not here for child abuse, but how are kids gonna know they're doing something wrong? First of all, you can't rationalize with kids. They're dumber than rocks. They don't know they're doing stuff wrong. But when you spank them, that gets the message across. And they. Because they don't want that. And listen, all these fools are going to be called. Listen, you can blast me on social media. You guys know I don't do social media. I don't ever read any comments. I don't care what you think. Y' all can kiss my big black ass. I'm gonna say what I gotta say. Some of y' all gonna like it and some of y' all not. And y' all will get over it.

[Dan Patrick]

How did we go from Rick Patina?

[Charles Barkley]

What a great guy he is, you know. You know, he. You know what? He has a great speech online, coaching his team, talking about competitive fire. I love that speech. All you coaches out there, go get Rick Martino's speech. He's talking about competing. Where's your competitiveness? When things go bad, that's when you grind. That ain't no time to quit. I've always been a big Patino fan. I think he's one of the great. And him and Tom Izzo are probably my two favorite coaches because you. They gonna get on their players. They're probably my two favorite coaches.

[Dan Patrick]

Did you get yelled at when you played?

[Charles Barkley]

Yes. Hell yeah. And the best coach I played for some really good coaches, but probably the best coach I played for was son. Smith was great. I love that dude. But probably Billy Cunningham, he didn't take. Let me tell you something. He will leave Dr. J like, if the bus and this one thing like. And I'm a firm believer, you're never supposed to be late, because when you're late, you don't respect other people's time. There have been times when I played for the Sixers, the bus leaving at 5, I could see Dr. J up into the bus at 5, we're taking off. And that's part of discipline. He like. He say, al, Al. Domenico, what time is? He says, 5. You can see Doc 20 yards away from the bus we taking off. I. I want coaches because there's no great player who don't want to be coached. That's why Greg Popovich, to me, is one of the greatest ever. You talk to Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Ginobili, David Robson. He got on their case all the time. And you know why you do that, Dan? Because the other players are paying attention. They're like, you let Tim Duncan and David Robinson and Je.

[Dan Patrick]

Nova Lynn Parker, who are all hall

[Charles Barkley]

of Famers, get away with it. You don't have. You lose the ability to yell at the other guys. That's why coaches have to hold. Because there's a responsibility that goes with being a star. I can promise you this, Dan, there's not one single coach and I. You can call them all or player that said to me that you can call that I play with, said I was hard to coach or I was a pain in the ass as a teammate. I guarantee you that you can go ask any coach or any player. I wanted to be coached. I wanted to be a great player. But I. You go ask anybody in Phoenix. Now, Houston don't count because I sucked out the player.

[Steve (Caller)]

But when I.

[Charles Barkley]

When I was a great player in Philly and Phoenix, you go ask any coach or any player I was easy to play with. I just wanted to win. I can go to my grave knowing that.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you wish that the Houston chapter never happened? If you could go back and erase that, would you?

[Charles Barkley]

Yes. I wish the songs had never traded me to Houston. That caught me off guard more probably. That probably caught me. Not a Philadelphia thing. I've told that story. I was ready to get the hell out of here, but when I got the call from the Rockets, we had just lost to them in the playoffs, and I get a call from the Rockets at the end of the season, and they said, robert Barr, who's a friend of mine, says, charles, that's what's up, man. He said, if we trade for you, are you gonna want a new contract? I said, first of all, they not gonna trade me. I'm the only player we got. And I said, this true story, Dan. I says, they're not trading me. He says, charles, if we trade for you, are you gonna want on a new contract? I said, dude, they're not trading me. I'm the only player we got. I called the Sons, I said, you guys thinking about trading me? They're like, no. Did you hear that rumor? I says, I can breathe easy now. Two days later, the Rockets called me back. And I says, robert, they're not gonna trade me. I'm telling you, I'm the only player we got. They're like, charles, just answer my question. If we trade for you, are you gonna hold out? I says, robert, I've never held out because, you know, at that time, me and Michael were really close. And me and Michael made a pact because Scottie Pippen and I think Horace Grant would make it more than him for the Bulls. And I think some guys in Philly and Phoenix were making more than me at the time. And we said we would never complain or hold out. And I said, we have a pack we. And none of us, neither one of us ever did. And I said, dude, I would never hold out. I have a contract. Five days later, I'm packing up, going to Houston. And it just, you know, so I wanted to finish my career in Phoenix. All I wanted was a chance to win. I had four years. Well, we lost to the Bulls and then we lost to the Rockets in seven games. One of us team was going to win the championship. We were the best two teams. We lost to them in seven games. Both times I was happy with my career and I want to just finish it out because I knew my body was starting to give out and it. But no, I. I do. To answer your question, yes, I wish the Houston chapter because, you know, my. I played good my first two years. My last two years I sucked as a player. But, you know, I was done.

[Dan Patrick]

Speaking of done, can we get rid of that basketball on the set? The talking basketball?

[Charles Barkley]

I. I did. I just worked there. I don't control anything.

[Dan Patrick]

If that was a tnt, you guys would have thrown that thing. You. You and Shaq would have beat it up, right?

[Charles Barkley]

You are 100, okay? But when you work for other people, you have to do what the other people tell you to do. Dan the founder. Dan, you should come to the final four one time. Come on, man. It is the coolest event. I'm telling you, that Saturday. You got to come to the final Four, Dan. It is a cool thing, brother. It is amazing.

[Dan Patrick]

Where is it this year?

[Charles Barkley]

Indiana. Indianapolis.

[Dan Patrick]

Now are we hanging out or like.

[Charles Barkley]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Charles Barkley]

Hell yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

You can get in trouble in Indianapolis.

[Charles Barkley]

You can get in trouble anywhere, brother.

[Dan Patrick]

No, you can. Not me.

[Charles Barkley]

If you with me, we can. So Friday night is on. Saturday is the game. Sunday is on and the game is Monday.

[Dan Patrick]

I have to get back for Monday for the show.

[Charles Barkley]

Well, you gotta stay because we do a concert every year. I think Zach Brown is the concert this year and I. I'm looking forward to it because Zach Brown has a song called the man who loves you the most. So I was on me and Ernest podcast and I was asking the public and they gave me great songs, but there's a song that Zach Brown sing called the man who loves you the most. And if you got a daughter, I've actually had five or six of my friends use that song. It's the most poignant song for daddy daughter. And I picked it out. They picked it out. And I said, yeah, that's the song for me and my daughter at her wedding. And I'm looking forward to seeing Zac Brown. I've never met him before, but I want to tell him how special that song is to me. And my daughter. It's called a man who loves you the most. So there's anybody out there getting married and planned to defer the father, daughter, dad, the man who loves you the most. You got to listen to the words too because they're very poignant.

[Dan Patrick]

Good to talk to you.

[Charles Barkley]

All right, brother. Hey man, you know I appreciate you brother. Keep doing your thing.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, There he is. Mr. Parley, Dylan is in the room. When we last left you, or you left us, you had hit eight of eight out of a 10 team parlay that was going to pay out over $5,000.

[Dylan Darling]

That is correct, Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, well, you seem despondent. So what. What happened?

[Dylan Darling]

So I needed Akron plus 8 and Arizona minus 31.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Dylan Darling]

It was a long time ago now, but if I recall correctly, Arizona covered the 31. Akron did not, and I did not cash out.

[Dan Patrick]

If the games weren't running concurrently, would you have tapped out before the last game? Let's say Arizona won that and they covered and you still had the Akron bet, would you have cashed out for, what, $1,000?

[Dylan Darling]

Well, it's assuming at that point it would be even higher. Like, say it was like, you know, 25003. I probably would have cashed out and then just lied and said I didn't seem tougher.

[Dan Patrick]

How was social media treating you?

[Dylan Darling]

They were very rude to me, Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

Actually, there's a lot of.

[Dylan Darling]

A lot of keyboard warriors who, after the fact, were, like, should have cashed out. I was like, yeah, because it lost.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. Paulie.

[Pharmaceutical Ad Voice]

Akron was down five and a half to Texas Tech. The end of the game, 91. 71. Red Raiders over your zips.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Todd.

[Todd Fusco]

So Dylan came away with zip because of that.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm gonna give you a blue one now.

[Todd Fusco]

Feel bad, though. He could have won, like, what, 5,600 was on the line?

[Dylan Darling]

Yeah, I would have shared with you, too, Todd. Not until I made that comment.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you have any bets coming up?

[Dylan Darling]

Well, Dan, I actually. I genuinely didn't bet anything over the weekend. I legitimately was so mad on Friday that despondent. Some would say, yeah, like, I know no one cares about your parlay that lost by one leg. But like I believed, I also told the entire nation ahead of time that it was hanging in the balance, which probably, in the gambling God's eyes, was not a great idea.

[Dan Patrick]

True.

[Dylan Darling]

But I'll be back. I'm just. I didn't even want to look at the board after that.

[Dan Patrick]

The current favorite to win it all is still Duke.

[Dylan Darling]

Yeah, still Duke. The. The three one seeds that are left are all favored in their region, and then Houston is favored in the south, since I guess I could call them Paulie's Gators got bounced.

[Dan Patrick]

No, they're my Gators.

[Dylan Darling]

They're your Gators.

[Dan Patrick]

I had them in the championship game.

[Dylan Darling]

Yep.

[Dan Patrick]

I had him losing to Arizona.

[Dylan Darling]

Yeah. And Paul had Gonzaga in his final four and Seaton had Miami, which actually looked like they were gonna maybe pull one over on Purdue for a bit there.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah. I thought, what does Seaton know that I don't know when he picked Miami? And I'm going, I don't know if I watched any Miami basketball and seemed

[Seaton]

that makes two of us.

[Dan Patrick]

Sometimes it's better that way.

[Seaton]

Yeah. You know, like when you go through the bracket matchup by matchup and you look sort of not at the big picture and you just go, who do I like better here? Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. You end up with Miami in the fun.

[Dan Patrick]

Anything else you'd like to add, Dylan?

[Dylan Darling]

Yeah, Then we actually have updated standings for the disappointment draft.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, you want to explain the disappointment draft?

[Dylan Darling]

Yes. So you guys each picked three teams among the one through four seeds and the goal is to win the fewest games with those teams. Games. So you got. You started off negative based on who you pick. So if you pick the one seed, you start off negative four, two, negative three. It's so on so forth. So the goal is to lose. Okay, so in the lead right now is Paulie at 4 under. Okay, that Florida loss was big for him, but he still got Houston and Michigan State in there. And then Dan, you and Todd tied for second at 3 under Todd. Gonzaga and Virginia. Loss for Todd, but he's got Iowa State. All three of yours are still in play, which that's not good.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Dylan Darling]

And then followed up by Marvin who's got Arizona, Yukon, Nebraska, Nebraska, sneaky Nebraska pick there. And seton is at 1 under. Kansas lost. It's big for him. And then he's got Duke and Bama. So Seaton's got a little ground to cover, but it's a long tournament.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Dylan. Sorry about your parlay. Dave in Indianapolis. Hi Dave, what's on your mind today? Hey, Dave. Hey, Dave. Jeff in Indianapolis. Hi Dan, how are you? Good, Jeff.

[Steve (Caller)]

Good. So my daughter got married and right in the middle of COVID in 2020. And as we were preparing for the wedding, we were going to have 350, 400 guests. And by the time Covid did its thing, we were down to 60 some odd people. And my daughter's of course in a full freak out mode. And I have decided to use the Zach Brown song. Oh, that you're going to use as our dad daughter dance. And she did not want me to tell her what it was ahead of time. I have told my son in law and or yeah, my son in law to be at the time and I said hey, there's a part in the song where there's out of one minute instrumental. And when that happens, I want you to walk out and I'm going to kind of ceremonially, ceremonially end you off and watch the rest of the song. I make it through walking her down the aisle. I know you're worried about that. I make it through that, no problem. Because we're down to 50 people. It's like nobody there. I'm singing to her, I'm singing every word of the song. And there's my son in law, walks out, dance and melts like a puddle. I literally can barely get to my seat, sit down and cry. Everybody's laughing at me. So good luck. Don't sing it. Don't do it. Find another song. Do some Metallica something, Do something a little more upbeat.

[Dan Patrick]

And I'm not worried about the first dance because I can hide. I'll just put my head, you know, on her shoulder or something and it's over by then. But walking down the aisle and then you give that speech. I remember the first time I saw. I wonder if they would let me tape it.

[Pharmaceutical Ad Voice]

We could produce it up.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, maybe we tape it and then they, then they show the video. We bring out video screen and then I, I. And that's not, that's not a crazy thing. Steven Houston. Hi, Steve.

[Steve (Caller)]

Oh, Dan, don't tape it. Don't do that to the girl. Come on. Listen, the beta blockers, brother. Imagine have your daughter asking you to officiate her wedding, which happened to me last November. I cry at people's weddings when I

[Dan Patrick]

don't even know them.

[Steve (Caller)]

So in finding a way to, to get through this, my friend, you're dealing with a flood of adrenaline. You only usually associate adrenaline with fear or sports or something like that. Overwhelming joy and adrenaline, not a usual association. This pill, this beta blocker, allows you to not feel the effects of that adrenaline for a few moments so you can actually take a breath. It doesn't check you out emotionally. It allows you to be there in the moment and be there as your kid wants you to be there for her. It's the greatest thing ever, man.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, thank you, Steve. I'm going to get a prescription for beta blockers. Yes. Marvin, did you cry at your wedding? When I saw my wife, yes, I did. Yeah. But the weird part was she's walking down the aisle and she is stunning. And I see her lean back like she's going to fall, and I go, oh, my God, she's fainting. Well, it turns out that her she had a relative who was trying to get a picture, and he stepped out into the aisle on her dress and she nearly fell back because Timmy had to get a great picture. But, yeah, I did. I did tear up when I saw her, but then I laughed because. Well, I didn't laugh. I laughed after I realized that they, you know, this guy stepped on her gown. Yeah.

[Pharmaceutical Ad Voice]

Paulie, Dan, we've talked about this before. I'm proposing there should be an enforcer at all weddings. Like, almost like a wedding cop that prevents Timmy from walking out with his camera or someone taking away from the bride and groom, especially the bride.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, Timmy wasn't trying to do that.

[Pharmaceutical Ad Voice]

Right, but do you have an enforcer at your daughter's wedding?

[Dan Patrick]

No, I don't think I'll need it.

[Pharmaceutical Ad Voice]

I say the big German.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Todd.

[Todd Fusco]

Maybe a little electric fence along the aisles. If anyone steps out of line. A quick shock to let you know.

[Dan Patrick]

Everybody's got to wear a collar.

[Webull Ad Voice]

Ye.

[Dan Patrick]

Why not? Okay. Zap them.

[Todd Fusco]

Better than like a dress getting ripped in the middle.

[Dan Patrick]

Brad in California. Hi, Brad. What's on your mind?

[Steve (Caller)]

Hi there. Good morning.

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, I got an idea for you.

[Steve (Caller)]

You know how practice makes perfect? Well, what you need to do is the rehearsal dinner. At the rehearsal, do it over and over and over again and just get rid of all your tears then.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but I'm not responsible for the rehearsal dinner. I have to give the speech after the wedding at. At the actual ceremony. So when you go after the wedding. Yes, dad.

[Todd Fusco]

And it's not the same. You could practice a game winning shot in the playground or in your backyard, but when it's actually time and everyone's there and you're in the moment, I'm sure that is not going to replicate practice.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, because the reception and it's. You're going to see people and they make the trip and it's. Oh, my God. And then all of a sudden, you know, I found. I think I have stage fright. I do. I think I. I might be diagnosed as having stage fright. And it. And what it is, is when I have the microphone and I hear my voice and nothing else, something happens to me. So I. I don't. I never thought of it. My wife goes, do you have stage fright? And I'd never thought of it. But if I. If I hear my voice on a microphone while other people may melt when they hear that, for me, it's. I'm like, oh, my God. What?

[Todd Fusco]

Todd, how is that possible? You've given out super bowl trophies and all these events. With hundreds of millions of people tuning in, you would be like the last person on the planet, I would think, would have experienced something like that.

[Dan Patrick]

But this is different. I don't know what stage fright consists of, but if I'm. I don't know, I can get emotional in. In a second. And it's. You know, I went to see Book of Mormon on Broadway. It's a comedy. Original cast. Original cast. Oh, see, yes. Josh Gad was in it, and they went to intermission, and I'm crying and my kids are in. My wife. My wife, who is very short on emotion, she goes, what is wrong with you? Like, not. Nothing, you know, sympathetic. Like, why. Why is this affecting you? But it was a live performance, and there's just something about you see somebody doing it right in front of you. It's not like, hey, take three, take. You know, a concert, when you see people doing things in real time right in front of you, that gets me, too. So I don't know if I have stage fright, but it. There's something that happens, and I go up and I turn on that microphone, and I'm going to be at the rehearsal or I'll be at the reception, and that's why I'm going to bring my son up to interpret. Yes, Paul.

[Pharmaceutical Ad Voice]

Or we could treat it like hosting Sports center or Football night in America. We get an IFB in your ear. We get you a script, a nice teleprompter in the background, and we'll give you a couple highlights. First, like, Cubs card is bottom second. And then you switch right to the speech.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, because I was hosting the Olympics in London and it was the last day hosting the Olympics, and I remember thanking all of the people who were there, and I got emotional. Like, it was weird. I'm like, damn. You know, I said, hey, I just want to show you all the people make, you know, all this, you know, work and happen, and. And I. All of a sudden, I'm falling apart. And if I could cry and only have tears, I'd be okay. But when you have that guttural, oh, my God, what's wrong with him? Yes, Todd.

[Todd Fusco]

But the word stage fright sounds like a terrible thing or a bad thing or a negative quality, but it's actually a very sweet thing that you're experiencing. No, no, you'd rather not be going through that type of emotion in the moment. I think people. I know I would. I would appreciate seeing someone get that emotional over.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, no, no. Not at all. Stage fright isn't a good thing. No, Because I can't get through the speech.

[Todd Fusco]

People understand what the, the big, how huge the moment is and how much it means to you.

[Dan Patrick]

No, you know what they're gonna do? And they'll be like, I thought he spoke for a living. Like, what. What happened to him, man? I didn't know he cried. We were at espn. I didn't even want to be at ESPN for that reunion. And I went to that reunion and sat up on the dais with Robin Roberts and Chris Berman and Bobby, and I started crying because I saw all those people that I worked with out in the audience. And Robin Roberts even said, man, are you okay? I'm like, why am I crying?

[Todd Fusco]

Get it together. Charlotte Observer. Let's wait on the tears.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, you're a big baby. Why don't you have those tears go

[Charles Barkley]

back, back, back, back, back.

[Dan Patrick]

John Crier. Yes, Marvin?

[Charles Barkley]

Have you always been emotional like this, or was. Has this become your thing later in life?

[Dan Patrick]

I, I think it's later, but I don't know when it. No, I've had it for. Yeah, I've had it for a while. Yeah. But I, I don't know why. Although I come from a family of criers. Like, they, they all cry now. I'm hoping all of them cry at my daughter's wedding, and then I'll feel a little better. So I don't know if I can say to everybody, hey, before I start this speech, could everybody cry along with me? They're going to be going, what is wrong with that guy, man? He used to be. Wasn't he good? Yeah.

[Pharmaceutical Ad Voice]

Paul, I'm really starting to think that video backup is the play, because then if you don't make it past syllable two, you just point, like, point to the big man and we.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, I'm pointing to my son.

[Steve (Caller)]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

I'll just say Jack, because I'll have him. People say, wow, I see. Got his son up there. And I'll say, jack's here to interpret. And then if I can't make it, and then I'll just fill in the blanks. You know, I'll come back for two or three words, and then I love you, then I'll give it to him. All right. Take a break. But I don't have to worry about that until August 15th. Not that I'm worried about that now. Yes.

[Seaton]

What we should actually do is have you start attending. Yeah, we get. You get a lot of invites to weddings. Although you should just go to those weddings and start bawling.

[Dan Patrick]

I cried at the wedding of a friend of mine and he gave the speech for his daughter and didn't cry. Figure that one out. I'm like, God, Jeff did a great job.

[Charles Barkley]

Yes, Marvin, your wife is still judging you about it. She's not a crier, right?

[Dan Patrick]

No, she's not. No, she's not.
