Dan Flores
Why is a soap opera western like Yellowstone so wildly successful? The American west with Dan Flores is.
- [01:39]
Dan Patrick
The latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network.
- [01:43]
Dan Flores
So join me starting Tuesday, May 6, where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.
- [01:55]
Dan Patrick
Listen to the American west with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm ready to fight. Oh, this is fighting words.
- [02:04]
Gilbert Arenas
Okay, I'll put the hammer back.
- [02:06]
Dan Patrick
Hi, I'm George M. Johnson, a bestselling author with the second most banned book in America. Now more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back.
- [02:15]
Gilbert Arenas
Part of the power of Black queer creativity is the fact that we got us.
- [02:20]
Dan Patrick
You know, we are the greatest culture makers in world history. Listen to Fighting Words on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. A wild night last night as the Knicks come back, beat the Celtics, and Boston misses 45. Three pointers, 45 out of 60. The Nuggets beat the Thunder and Joker goes for 42 and 22. Let me go back to the Knicks because I thought they were in trouble. Down 20 and Boston didn't change its philosophy. They weren't hitting shots, but they were still leading. And then you kept wondering, do they go inside? Do you maybe take a two at one point? Do you try to go to the free throw line? Just something that will break up the rhythm of missing all these three pointers. Well, that didn't happen. But the Knicks come back from 20 down. And that rally is the biggest postseason comeback in franchise history. But Boston had the help. 63 pointers, that's the most ever in NBA playoff game. And missing 45 of the 60, that's obviously the most in an NBA playoff game as well. But I was curious about the second half. 37 of the 49 shots Boston took in the second half and overtime. Three pointers, they went 10 for 37 on those shots. And at some point I, I have to go against the analytics Now, I know Boston, look, they had uncontested shots, they were missing threes. They're not going to miss these shots throughout this series. But at some point I want to see some kind of alteration. I want an adjustment there. How about you go for a two? How about you instruct your players to maybe run something inside? And not just perimeter jumpers here they are really good three point shooting team. But when you're not that, then there has to be a point where you go, okay, maybe we should stop shooting threes. It's not our night. But they never got to that point. Now you're going to have game two. Do I think Boston's philosophy is going to be the same? Absolutely. But can the Knicks play better? I think, you know, if, if Boston hits two more threes, they win this game. I don't think the Knicks played a perfect game. I think they hung in there. Brunson had a chance to win it with the layup in regulation. OG and Anobi, I mean, they had the guys, these are the guys that they brought in. Bridges, they brought them in to beat Boston. This happens a lot of times in pro sports where you go, okay, we got to beat that Team, how do we beat that team? We got to get players and that, that was their sole focus. We got to beat them. How do we match up with them? And last night the Knicks did a really good job of staying in and having composure here. Because you're down 20 on the road, you're probably going, all right, we'll chalk this up. It's a loss. We'll come back. I mean, even Denver, I thought a quick turnaround, it could either be really close or really ugly. And I was leaning towards OKC. They were a 9 1/2 point favorite. They were going to blow out the Nuggets. But then that young team sitting there resting, waiting. Meanwhile, Denver, a quick turnaround and they surprise OKC and Joker. I know this is going to be a referendum on, well see who should be the mvp. Shea Gilgis Alexander is going to be the mvp and he should be because of what he did during the regular season. But there's a pattern that has developed between these two teams. So the Nuggets come back from 14 down. The Thunder have blown double digit leads three times against Denver this season. Day stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. So they lost those three games to Denver and they blew double digigit leads to them. Denver's a good team, smart team and you have guys who can make plays. Now I didn't think Aaron Gordon was going to be the guy at the buzzer with a three pointer, but Chad Holgren missed a couple free throws. He was late trying to close out Aaron Gordon. Gordon is actually percentage wise a good three point shooter. But you had Joker who kept him in the game, putting up monster numbers there. And you know, keep in mind the Pacers already beat the Cavaliers. What are the odds that Golden State could complete the opening round sweep for road teams as they're a seven point underdog against the Timberwolves? All right, Seaton, what's the poll question today? Got a couple options here for you. Well, we could start with will the Knicks win another game in this series, yes or no, Gentlemen, Sleep my sweep. Okay, Paulie said, Dover, which team will advance? Knicks, Nuggets or neither? Okay, that's kind of fun. All right. Nick's Nuggets. Neither. Todd sent this to me. Who had a better night, Jalen Brunson or Aaron Gordon? Well, I would say Aaron Gordon hit the game winning shot. I mean, the Knicks had a great night. Aaron Gordon's had a really good month. Yes, Todd, but I find it fascinating how you, you know, how you would decide what Would be the, you know.
- [08:01]
Gilbert Arenas
You have a moment that obviously wins the game. So you think that's the obvious one. But then in a huge game and a huge series on the road to.
- [08:07]
Dan Patrick
See what Jalen Brunson did, and he kept popping three after three and brings.
- [08:11]
Gilbert Arenas
Him back from 20 points. And at least an argument can be made that through the course of the game for each of those two games.
- [08:16]
Dan Patrick
That you can would say Jalen Brunson. All right. I would say Aaron Gordon get the game winning shot. That's what makes it interesting. All right. Thank you.
- [08:22]
Gilbert Arenas
It is.
- [08:24]
Dan Patrick
It felt like Jalen Brunson had just won the game and then lost it almost immediately right after. Yes. It felt like that was man that needed to go in because there's no way that the Knicks are going to be able to keep the Celtics back. He's so good at creating space because he's not a big guy, but he, he takes on contact. He just is really good at knowing what he does well. And, and I think that there's a lot of guys who have talent, they just don't know what they really do well and they try to do too much. I think Anthony Edwards sometimes colors outside the lines a little bit there. Like he tries to do too much and because he's got all of that God given ability. But Brunson, I think he's just so good at knowing I do this really, really well. And I'm not trying to do other things here. But what other poll questions are we looking at? First hour? Yeah, I think we go which team will advance. We could also look to the west as well. Or maybe we could split it up east and west. If you want to do that. I think we'll focus on the NBA playoffs. Okay. All right. By the way, here is Jalen Brunson on his team down 20.
- [09:34]
Gilbert Arenas
We told each other, just keep believing and just keep fighting, sticking together and keep chipping away. Now wasn't just going to. Was it going to be a 20 point shot where you can just come back. We just had to keep chipping away possession by possession and then just find a way to keep getting stops and making plays on offensive winners though as well.
- [09:51]
Dan Patrick
Okay. And also hoping the Celtics continue to miss three pointers. I have according to DraftKings, the updated NBA title odds. The Thunder is still the favorites. Then the Celtics followed by the Cavs. And then a distant fourth, the Timberwolves. And then even further down the list, the Nuggets and Warriors are tied at plus 1800. Thunder are plus 175 Celtics plus 210 Cavs plus 500 Timberwolves plus 1100 okay, so phone calls are welcome. We'll get to those.

Yes, Paulie, I want to go back.
- [10:41]
Dan Flores
To what you said about the Celtics.
- [10:42]
Dan Patrick
They're missing all those threes.
- [10:44]
Dan Flores
And should Joe Missoula say, all right, timeout, let's take it to the hole.
- [10:48]
Dan Patrick
Reset a little bit.
- [10:49]
Dan Flores
I wonder if analytics overrules him because I would think the analytics would say, let's keep shooting because we're due to make based off our history, they lead the league this season in three point.
- [11:01]
Dan Patrick
Attempts, 48 per game.
- [11:03]
Dan Flores
By far. They led a league in three three point makes.
- [11:06]
Dan Patrick
I wonder if analytics told them, don't stop, keep shooting.
- [11:11]
Dan Flores
It will work itself out.
- [11:12]
Dan Patrick
But at what point do you say it's not our night? Like there has to be a point of no return.
- [11:18]
Dan Flores
But I wonder if coaches are taught now to not fight analytics, not go with their gut, because analytics is a removal of gut. And I wonder if Joe Malzula says, nope, don't do it, stick with it, stick with it, stick with it.
- [11:33]
Dan Patrick
Well, I believe that you have to go with your gut sometimes. Like if you go by just the numbers. I mean, I see baseball, you know, managers, they outmanage themselves. They out think themselves instead of going with this now how's he throwing? Man, he's throwing great. No, he's throwing 61 pitches. He's got to come out. Well, he's throwing pretty, pretty well, Skip. And now he's got to come out. I just want to break up the rhythm. I got to get points. And if it's a free throw, two free throws, maybe it's just a mid range jumper. I just have to get something to break this. This skid that we're on. That. That would be my approach. If I'm playing or if I'm coaching. Let's just get something. Yes. But don't you kind of see that like, all right, yeah, he's pitching and he's at 60 pitches. But. And you have this data in front of you that says as soon as he hits 61 pitches, he usually falls off a cliff. I, I would. Don't you look at that and be like, all right, pull them out. I watch Aaron Boone mismanage games all the time because it feels like he is just Married to analytics. I now pronounce you manager and wife. And I have a problem with that. But look, I'm old school. I, I, I do accept analytics. I think that we're beholden to analytics. And we're like, we hold on for. Because you can go to a press conference and you can say, well, the numbers were on our side there. The numbers showed that we, you know, I should pull this picture or we should keep shooting threes. I understand that it's a great excuse. I just, I think there has to be a feel that you have with your team sometimes, Ben. Maybe that's just the old school in me, but I understand what you're saying. Yes. It says after 61 pitches, then all of a sudden the batting average goes up to.387. Seven times out of ten, it works out this way. It, you have to have a tremendous amount of belief in your gut and your intuition to say, yeah, but this is probably the eighth time or whatever, you know, but if I say to my catcher, that's all I care about. How's, how's he throwing now? He might say, you know what, time to take him out. Or, you know what? They're not even coming close now. I can say to my, my pitcher, I'm leaving for one. I'm going to let you get out of this jam. I'm going to leave you in for one more battery. That's just feel and trusting your players. That's the only thing that I would argue or push back on that. Joe Missoula knows we do this really well. Okay. At what point are we not doing this? Well, We've had open looks, too. That's the crazy part. They're not going to shoot this poorly the rest of the series, but then I expect the Knicks to be a little better as well. Yeah. Paulie, it seems like the NFL is.
- [14:16]
Dan Flores
Still gut over analytics. We, we talk about fourth and ones and stuff. And you hear coaches from the Bills.
- [14:22]
Dan Patrick
Well, fourth and one, you should do this.
- [14:23]
Dan Flores
And they, they don't. It feels like NFL coaches do a little more gut than analytics in tight situations.
- [14:29]
Dan Patrick
I don't know. I think the younger coaching staffs.
- [14:31]
Dan Flores
Yes.
- [14:31]
Dan Patrick
Are going with analytics. You know that, hey, this is what you're supposed to do in this situation. And then you're like, really? You know, Harbaugh talks about this or lafleur. You know, these younger coaches are like, yeah, we can go for this. Yes. Marvin.
- [14:47]
Gilbert Arenas
Yeah. Going back to last night's game, if I'm a Celtics fan, I'm pulling my Hair out because Jason Tatum had a one on one a couple times with Brunson or OG and he could have gone straight to the rim and he backed up maybe another five feet to take a step back three pointer, I'd have been pulling my hair out. Now, normally he makes it, but like you said, last night was not their night.
- [15:06]
Dan Patrick
I don't want to make it easy for you to guard me if, you know, I'm not going to the hoop and I'm going to be on the perimeter. Now he has a height advantage, but still, I know you're going to stay on the perimeter. It's such a huge advantage though, I think for the defense that you're, you're not going to go inside. And I, that was, that was what was surprising. I just need to break up the rhythm here. Yeah, Paulie. I wonder what an analytics coach would have said.
- [15:30]
Dan Flores
Jaylen Brown missed his first nine threes over nine, then he hit one when.
- [15:35]
Dan Patrick
He was over nine.
- [15:36]
Dan Flores
Would analytics tell you to tell him to stop shooting threes and take in the hole?
- [15:40]
Dan Patrick
No. Yes. I would say go in there and get a. Get found. Now that's gut. Yes.
- [15:44]
Dan Flores
Analytics have said Jalen Brown should keep shooting because based off his history, he's due to hit.
- [15:48]
Dan Patrick
Paul, I've never lost a playoff game in my lifetime. Okay. I've never coached one, but I've never lost one. Undefeated. Yes. So I know what I'm talking about now. I, anytime that I struggled shooting, I would always think just get free throws, like just stop whatever is happening. And, and I think the ability to be able to slow it down and don't let the Knicks get momentum or get that feeling of, man, we're in this because you took away that feeling when they were down 20, you took away their hope, and then all of a sudden you allowed it to come back by missing all these shots. And then all of a sudden the Knicks are going, I, we can win this game. Like the Nuggets. I'm watching. And I go, okay. They can't stop Joker. All right. They're doing okay here. Okay. All right. They're fouling. Okay. I don't know about that fly. Oh, Gordon Ballgame. That's sort of how it happened. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

The American west with Dan Flores is.
- [19:32]
Dan Patrick
The latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network.
- [19:35]
Dan Flores
Hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores and brought to you by Velvet Buck, 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 West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best selling author and Meat Eater founder Stephen Rinella.
- [20:00]
Dan Patrick
I'll correct my kids now and then.
- [20:02]
Dan Flores
Where they'll say when cave people were here.
- [20:04]
Dan Patrick
And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.
- [20:10]
Dan Flores
So join me starting Tuesday, May 6, where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.
- [20:21]
Dan Patrick
Listen to the American west with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleephole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found except for a cassette tape. Lodged in the player on that tape were 10 vile.
- [20:59]
Dan Flores
No, no, no no no no no no no no.
- [21:02]
Dan Patrick
Grotesque. Oh my God. Oh. Horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted from the public until now. You feeling this too? A horror anthology podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Doc Emmerich is a Hall of Famer and former lead play by play voice for NBC's NHL coverage. And now I don't know what kind of play by play you're doing in retirement. Are you doing any play by play in retirement, Doc?
- [21:43]
Dan Flores
Only describing dog walks and occasional visits to the grocery store. That's pretty much it.
- [21:51]
Dan Patrick
Give me a little bit of that.
- [21:55]
Dan Flores
There's milk. It expires on 28 May. Oh, there's 1 June. I'm going to take 1 June because it'll last longer.
- [22:05]
Dan Patrick
Okay. All right. So if you're watching hockey, you're not doing play by play?
- [22:10]
Dan Flores
No, no. But I'm sure enjoying it. My goodness, is it great. We've had some wonderful games to finish up the last round, and it's just spectacular. And I guess I've grown spoiled. This is what we get every time at this year. It's why Charles Barkley always talks about sneaking behind the set when he's doing basketball and watching hockey. It's just engrossing. It's wonderful and it's what the sport is all about.
- [22:42]
Dan Patrick
But do you get jealous when you look at these incredible finishes and like, you wish you were doing it?
- [22:50]
Dan Flores
No. No. I haven't regretted retirement once. I marvel at what the guys do that are describing games now, but the sport is so wonderful. I'm glad I had my years at it. 47 in total. But I don't regret retiring the thing. When I was riding buses in the Miners, the one thing that I looked forward to was the planes and the big hotels. And by the time the 47 years was up and we were in Covid, the thing that I didn't particularly like were the planes and the hotels. So. So it. I had my time and it was wonderful. I have so many great memories. I met a lot of wonderful people, including myself. And I'll never forget the day that I was with you and the Danets. McLovin was in goal, and I think. I think it was Fritzi who shot on him. He had a broom. I believe somewhere in the archives there is tape of that. But those are memories that I have that I'll always cherish.
- [23:54]
Dan Patrick
How do you come to the point where you go now? I'm going to retire because we see this with athletes. I'm going to retire from this job in three years. But you came to that decision. How did you come to that?
- [24:08]
Dan Flores
Well, in anything where you have a motor skill, which is in athletics as well, you like to make your move before somebody makes it for you. And fortunately, with NBC, the hook was not out. But I had had 50 years covering the sport and I did 40 years at the NHL. And I think one thing too that Covid did was just before we took the break In February of 2020, the league came out with rules that were very necessary, where we couldn't have anyone between the benches, where we had to be six feet with a boom mic away from all the coaches and the players. We could not go into the dressing rooms anymore. And that was where the fun was for me, in addition to preparing and doing the was actually being able to learn something more about the players that I could share with somebody. And so all of those things sort of came to the fore at Once the numbers of 40 and 50 were kind of round numbers that were even and it seemed like a good time. I had so many great memories that it was, it was a great time to be out.
- [25:24]
Dan Patrick
I was going to ask you, what's the first thing to go on a play by play person? And it sounds like your eyesight was the first thing to go.
- [25:33]
Dan Flores
Yeah, I think that would be probably true. You and I were together in London at the Olympics in 2012, and the one thing that happened there was that I discovered to my chagrin when I was doing water polo that I had cataracts. And so those were removed and my eyesight, of course, immediately got better. But you realize that those are things that happen with age. But yeah, I don't know that my eyesight was going, but you realize that that does happen as you get older. But I think the thing with me was that the travel was starting to get to me and I wanted to be home more. And all of those things added up to make for the right decision and to get to watch these games now. And especially the finishes that we had in the game Sevens were, you know, the come from behind third periods in the game Sevens as well as the, as the come from behind almost tie last night in Toronto. Those are exciting and I, I do envy the guys that are doing the games now, but I wouldn't want to be there. They are having the time of their lives doing these games and I'm glad for them.
- [26:53]
Dan Patrick
Talking to Doc Emmerich, member of the NHL and Sports Broadcasting hall of Fame, if I would have Talked to you 20 years ago, and I would have said to you, you know, Gretzky's goal scoring record is not safe. You would have said, what?
- [27:07]
Dan Flores
You're wrong. I, I would have said, yeah, I, I would have said, I agree with you that, that it's, I would, I would have said it's safe. But then we had Wayne Gretzky on at the all star game in St. Louis five years ago, and he was asked the question, can Ovechkin catch you? And he said, yes, and here's why. He's on a good team that wins a lot of games and he's healthy. He rarely gets hurt. This year he did, but to his credit, he came back a bulldozer and he wound up eclipsing the record in a marvelous ceremony that the NHL had on Long Island. But the other thing is too, the one thing that that is often overlooked. He came into the League of Bull in a china shop and he would hammer players he was often the league leader in hits, and he was again this year. He never stopped playing his game. And yet he was the greatest goal scorer of the modern era, and now is the record goal scorer of all time. And a guy that came in. I'll never forget the first time that we ever had him on our telecast in New Jersey. Of course, we wanted to interview Alex Ovechkin, and so he came in and politely sat down, and we had a technical difficulty on MSG Network, and we said, alex, we're sorry, we can't do the interview. He said, no, you don't understand. I want to do the interview. And we told him, no, we can't. We've got a technical problem in the truck. We can't do it. And so he got up and left. But he really wanted to do everything the right way when he first came here.
- [28:59]
Dan Patrick
If I said, you can start your team with Ovechkin or Crosby, I want.
- [29:05]
Dan Flores
Them both, because I want the playmaker and I want the goal.
- [29:08]
Dan Patrick
It doesn't work that way, Doc.
- [29:11]
Dan Flores
Okay, Crosby. And here's why. Because you. You do need goal scorers. I understand that. But Sid is the. The guy who is always going to be prepared to play first on, last off is always going to be a playmaker and a guy that will lead by example. And that's not to say that Alex's captain does not. We saw what he did with Marc Andre Fleury, and they were arch rivals. Of course, for a long time. He has led by example, too. But here's an. Here's a story that showed what Alex has grown into, and it would make that on the rare. On the total of years. Sid has done this in Pittsburgh, but Alex has picked up that slack in the later years in Washington. I was talking with Barry Trots before what turned out to be the last game that Washington would play before they won the Stanley cup championship. And I said, can you retell a story that you told me earlier in the year about. About Ovechkin? And so he did. And so I did tell this at the end of the playoffs when Washington was winning the Stanley Cup. It was that summer before, and the Capitals had disappointed again, and Alex was getting married, and Barry was invited. And so he went over to Moscow and attended the wedding. He was invited to the reception, and Barry said, I'm not going to go to the reception with a bunch of my hockey players. I'll wait. So he had dinner with Alex shortly thereafter. And he said, alex, I've got to talk to you seriously. About what's coming ahead. There is a lot of unhappiness in Washington and there are people who think it's your fault and there are people who think that it's the fault of some of your teammates. And there is going to be change. You are going to have to train like you never trained before. You are going to have to be the first guy on the ice and you are going to have to be this team's leader. It's not pleasant to think about, but that's what's ahead. That fall, he came in and scored seven goals in the first two games. And even though Washington fell behind in their playoff series, they were rallied and went ahead and they went on and won the Stanley cup. And he's been the great leader ever since. But Sid has been doing that ever since he came to Pittsburgh. And so when you force me into that corner and the paint is still not dried, I choose Sid.

Dan Patrick
What is it like when, you know, the game can end at any moment when, when you get into sudden death overtime? So as a play by play guy, what, you know, what is your game plan of how to call it so you're on time with it or a little bit ahead of the play as opposed to kind of cleaning up after that?
- [32:35]
Dan Flores
Yeah, you have to be right on it. And with that, and the referees tell me the same thing with that. You have to be on it, but boy, you got to be right. And you also have to be in control of your emotions so that you don't overdo it. This is about the players. It is not about yourself. It's not about signature calls or anything else. By the way, sidestep this for a minute. I need to pay tribute to the referees who handled game seven because those games were thrilling because of them. They didn't want to be them in the way. They didn't have a steady parade to the penalty box because they were there on merit. They didn't leave that behind. And they were nervous too, I'll bet. And you get nervous before an overtime in a Stanley cup game seven. I've had some of those. But yeah, you need to be on top of it. You need to be right. And as I heard Larry Colness, the caller of the Kentucky Derby interview, you can't have an eraser on your tongue. You can't take it back. And so all of those things go into making this kind of work exciting. And I always encourage young people who are interested in it to get into it and stay into it because it is certainly rewarding and a Great way to make a living. By the way, those names are Wes McCauley, Dan O'Rourke, John Hubert, and Gord Dwyer. Those are the four guys and stripes that handled those games.
- [34:10]
Dan Patrick
What hockey name gave you fits.
- [34:15]
Dan Flores
Sergey Nemchinov? And it sure shouldn't have. I was working with Bill Clement, and we were doing. And I kept saying Nemchimov with an M. And he said, say Nemnoff. Nemnoff. Nemnoff. You can do it, can't you? And I said, yeah, I can. And it came down to where if I said that over and over again before the game, that it would. It came out more right than wrong. But it's an imperfect science, isn't it? I mean, you guys have to talk three hours in the morning, and it's not totally perfect, I suppose, but I never did a perfect game. I mean, you. You talk over and over all the time, and you do make mistakes, that's for sure.
- [35:00]
Dan Patrick
We don't care about getting it right, though, Doc. That's the difference between us and you.
- [35:05]
Dan Flores
But you do. Am I looking at the team that's going to be on Celebrity Family Feud? Is this the five?
- [35:13]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Yeah.
- [35:14]
Dan Flores
Okay. You've chosen.
- [35:17]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. For better or for worse. Yes. Any advice on Celebrity Family Feud? No.
- [35:27]
Dan Flores
I think you should rely on your experience, and that's my stat of the day.
- [35:31]
Dan Patrick
Oh.
- [35:32]
Dan Flores
The number is 89. The experience that your team has going in, I think will lead you to victory. You have 26 years in June. Fritzi will have 23, Paulie has 18, Seton has 16, and Marvin has six. That's a total of 89. You rely on your experience, and I agree with what you said last week. You're there to entertain. I mean, it'd be nice if you could win, but the memory will come from entertaining who would. And in gut versus analytics, the coach that I would favor is you, because I think you're going to go on gut and not analytics.
- [36:15]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Okay.
- [36:18]
Dan Flores
You guys were talking last week about Giannis and his. His poor free throw percentage.
- [36:24]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [36:24]
Dan Flores
When I was growing up, I watched Wilt Chamberlain, and he was terrible. The foul line, I looked it up. He was 51%. And I think you guys said that's about where Giannis was last week.
- [36:36]
Dan Patrick
Well, yeah, and somebody. I'm sure they've tried, but it's. It should be fluid. He doesn't have a fluid free throw. It. It's. It stops. It's almost like a ladder unfolding and that. You just. You got to make it start from your legs and go all the way up and follow through, you know, being a great free throw shooter that you are.
- [36:59]
Dan Flores
Well, it's a, it's a new decade, so if I get to New York, it's best of three and we will try it yet again. I like that left hand hook shot that I see every so often. Is that like the Kareem sky hook?
- [37:16]
Dan Patrick
That's Fritzi.
- [37:17]
Dan Flores
Ah, Okay. I thought it was you.
- [37:20]
Dan Patrick
No, no, no, no, no. And I'll shoot blindfolded if you want to.
- [37:26]
Dan Flores
Okay. Yeah, as long as it's best of three. Because we've been postponing this now largely because of. Of my logistics. But those are.
- [37:36]
Dan Patrick
You're retired. I mean, there's no more excuses.
- [37:39]
Dan Flores
You're right.
- [37:40]
Dan Patrick
Right?
- [37:41]
Dan Flores
You're absolutely right.
- [37:42]
Dan Patrick
All right. You're welcomed in my dojo anytime you want to, Doc.

Listen to the American west with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or. Or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos.
- [40:19]
Dan Flores
It was just me naked.
- [40:21]
Gilbert Arenas
Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts.
- [40:25]
Dan Patrick
That looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York.
- [40:33]
Gilbert Arenas
But reporting the series took us through.
- [40:35]
Dan Patrick
The darkest corners of the Internet and.

Gilbert Arenas
To the front lines of a global.

Gilbert Arenas
This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology.

Dan Patrick
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 iHeart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope.
- [41:01]
Dan Patrick
Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found except for a cassette tape Lodged in the player. On that tape were 10 vile.
- [41:40]
Dan Flores
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- [41:43]
Dan Patrick
Grotesque. Oh my God. O Horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted from the public. Until now. You feeling this too? A horror anthology podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Gilbert Arenas, host of Gill's Arena Podcast, and it is doing some big business, just surpassed 1 million subscribers on Underdog and it's streaming Monday through Thursday on YouTube. Also available on Spotify, Apple, wherever you get your podcast. And there's a documentary out on Gill. It's on Netflix. Available it's called Untold Shooting Guards. We'll talk about that in a moment. First of all, how's your son doing?
- [42:40]
Gilbert Arenas
He's, he's, he's doing very well. He has some angels with him that morning, so, you know, glad he's, you know, fully recovering, didn't have any major injuries, so, you know, that's all we can pray for.
- [42:55]
Dan Patrick
What's that phone call like early in the morning?
- [42:59]
Gilbert Arenas
It was, it was devastating. Well, it was because I, you know, usually I wake up at 4:30 and I go to the Tesla app to see if, you know, if he's heading home or if he's at the gym. So his car is at the gym. So I continue my workout and my daughter said, what are you doing? I'm like, obviously, I'm working out. You haven't heard, Your son just got an accident at the gym. There's like, no, he's at the hospital. So I just stopped everything and ran over there and then was like, what the hell is going on? Like, was it his car? What's going on? And then I realized that the, the app actually malfunctioned. And I found that out a couple of days later when he started waking up and off the drugs. But, you know, my thing was making sure there was no broken limbs, there was no burns. And, you know, lucky for him, trapped inside of a car for so long, you know, it's, it's luckily there, you know, there was bystanders that heard the crash that early in the morning that got him out.
- [43:59]
Dan Patrick
But they had to put him in a coma.
- [44:01]
Gilbert Arenas
Yeah, because they were, he was, he was a little stronger than they, they thought. And he was waking up, you know, going crazy. So they put him in induced coma just to get the air, I guess, you know, was it sis Sid. They were getting a smoke and all of that out of his.
- [44:20]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Okay.
- [44:21]
Gilbert Arenas
So he, I guess he was, he was in a car. It looked like about 10, 12 minutes.
- [44:27]
Dan Patrick
Just inhaling that.
- [44:28]
Gilbert Arenas
Just inhaling that.
- [44:29]
Dan Flores
Yeah.
- [44:29]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. All right, well, that's good to hear. And he's still going to usc, of course. Okay.
- [44:34]
Gilbert Arenas
You know, he did. His, his sense of humor was still there when he was waking up. And he asked, where is he? And was all you had the UCLA hospital. And he, he wrote, tell Muss I'm sorry that I'm at ucla. I'm like, not right now. Not right now.
- [44:53]
Dan Patrick
So Coach Musselman, not right now.
- [44:57]
Gilbert Arenas
Not with the jokes right now. We're still a little scared.
- [45:00]
Dan Patrick
Okay. You got to see the documentary, huh? What stood out to you.
- [45:08]
Gilbert Arenas
I thought it was. I personally thought it was, you know, it was, it was done good.
- [45:13]
Dan Patrick
You know, like, explain how they came up with the idea that they're going to do a documentary called Untold Shooting Guards and the. The double meaning.
- [45:24]
Gilbert Arenas
Well, that, that, that, that's a great title. I'm not even gonna lie. Just, you know, for, you know, everything that went on. But, you know, at first I wanted to tell this story to get the real story out there, but I never wanted to tell it without Javaris aside.
- [45:42]
Dan Patrick
Okay, explain this to our audience just so they know what you're talking about.
- [45:47]
Gilbert Arenas
You know, so me and Javaris, you know, which was my, you know, rook at the time or second year player, but he was, you know, one of my guys on the team. We was playing a card game and I didn't like the way he was conversating after losing. You know, he was losing, so I didn't like the tone that he was saying to the other players. So as a veteran, as the guy that he, you know, he looks up to, you know, I checked him and, you know, when you're losing money, I'm checking you in front of players that got into a little altercation and, you know, we challenged each other. So the challenge was, you know, you gonna shoot me? Well, I want to see you do it. You know, I was calling this bluff and it wasn't as drama filled as, you know, the media made it seem. Right. It calmed down very quickly. But I, you know, you guys got.
- [46:43]
Dan Patrick
Guns at the card game.
- [46:45]
Gilbert Arenas
No, no, no, this is.
- [46:46]
Dan Patrick
Okay, this was that.
- [46:47]
Gilbert Arenas
This was at the lock in the locker room. The card game on a plane from Arizona to Washington.
- [46:53]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [46:54]
Gilbert Arenas
That long flight and you know, they play cards on the game.
- [46:57]
Dan Patrick
So how much money are we talking about here?
- [47:00]
Gilbert Arenas
The pot at the time when I joined was probably eleven hundred dollars.
- [47:04]
Dan Patrick
Oh.
- [47:05]
Gilbert Arenas
But I think he was down about six grand.
- [47:08]
Dan Patrick
Oh, okay. Okay. So when you guys land, how, how are you guys when you get off the plane? And then when do you know that maybe this is escalating?
- [47:20]
Gilbert Arenas
I'm an, I'm an antagonizer. So you know, my personality, as you can see, I'm an antagonizer. I'm going to point, I'm going to poke at you. So you know, him losing, I'm poking at the end of the plane, just poking his buttons. But we did, we did have a day off. So I think we landed Saturday. We did have Sunday off. And this happened Monday where I'm still, you know, you know, I Want to see if you're still going to be about your word. So I had the guns on, on his chair, and I wrote a note, you know, pick one, you know, to see, hey, pick one of these nice guns to shoot me with. But I knew he wasn't, he couldn't shoot me because there was no bullets for the gun. Right. And then you had to go to Maryland to actually buy bullets. And the chances of them having a Desert Eagle.50 cal bullet or whatever he picked wasn't going to be there. So I wasn't really scared for my life. It was more, I'm going to call your, your bluff, let's see what you're going to do. Type of, it was one of those type of, type of ordeals, you know, egotistic stuff that locker rooms go through.
- [48:27]
Dan Patrick
I don't know.
- [48:29]
Gilbert Arenas
On another level, on another level, I.
- [48:33]
Dan Patrick
Don'T, I don't know if this happened with other teams where guys are bringing in guns there. But no, no, no, the other teams.
- [48:39]
Gilbert Arenas
They just get in fist fights.
- [48:40]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [48:41]
Gilbert Arenas
Just, you know, so, you know, it was, it was very immature on, especially my part, you know, being the older player on a team, you know, very immature. But I, I, I did it. I, I really tried to correct my wrong as, as soon as it happened by, you know, really taking the blame for it and trying to see if the media just focus on me and get away from him.
- [49:04]
Dan Patrick
When did you know that it was going to be a bigger story than just a locker room prank?
- [49:11]
Gilbert Arenas
When I think when Peter Vesey got a hold of it and he wrote the article, you know, OK Corral Inside the Wizard Locker Room, I was like, oh.
- [49:23]
Dan Patrick
Right, right.
- [49:24]
Gilbert Arenas
So it was. Because before that, you know, it happened on like the 21st. So for the most part, the Washington, the Washington, you know, Wil Bond and Pornheiser, they wasn't touching the story, you know, even though they heard rumbles of it. Right. It was like, okay, it's contained. Okay, let's just go on about our business, you know, let's not try that again. And, you know, once he, he leaked the story, it was all hell broke loose.
- [49:48]
Dan Patrick
After that is Gilbert Arenas, host of Gill's arena podcast, three time NBA All Star with the Wizards. And the documentary Untold Doc. It's Untold Shooting Guards.
- [50:04]
Gilbert Arenas
I don't know why I like the title so much. Like, it stands out, you know, when you're talking about putting a doc and you want the views. That's a great title.
- [50:13]
Dan Patrick
Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Explain to me the Logic of the Celtics last night that shooters keep shooting. But at what point do you change up your offensive philosophy? Maybe try to get a 2, maybe go to the hoop, maybe get a free, like anything. You being a great scorer after a while you got to realize maybe it's not my night.
- [50:38]
Gilbert Arenas
You know, it's the Achilles heels of when Celtics do lose, when they do lose the performance they had last night, right? They're going to be 10 for 60, 12 for 58, right? You're beatable at that moment in time, right? You know, a team that's taking a bunch of twos, they're going to beat you. You're shooting about 180 points worth of threes, but you got 105 points. That doesn't even make sense of a winning basketball, you know, team. So there has to be someone or some, some strategy of at a certain point, let go of the three point shot in attack. Because if you're not playing a team who also relies on threes like a New York Knick team, they're going to actually beat you. You're beatable at that point. When you're making your threes and you're shooting 40%. Well, yeah, you're, you're, you're going to blow everybody out. But in a seven game series, you're going to have two games like this, right? You're going to have one and a half games where you're on fire. So you got to figure out how to win the games when you're not shooting very well. Because you're going to automatically give two games to the New York Knicks just off of just a seven game series.
- [51:56]
Dan Patrick
On how shooting goes, better chance to win their series. The Nuggets or the Knicks?
- [52:04]
Gilbert Arenas
Nuggets. When you, when you have a guy like Jokic who can manipulate the game, you know, offensively just hanging in there, it's like yesterday watching a game. Denver wasn't playing well and it seemed like OKC was playing very well, but they were still hanging in there. And as long as you know, you got five minutes left, Yokage is down 10. You, you, you gotta give it to the guy who's been there before that, who has three MVPs, who should have four or five of them. You, you gotta, you gotta worry about, you know, someone like him. When it comes to the New York Knicks. They have Brunson, right? And your, your small guard is very dominant. But when you're talking about the overall impact, I think the Celtics themselves, with Jason Tatum, with Brown, with the pedigree of, you know, Jrue, Holiday and White. That's been there. They've won. They've won Golds. You're talking about, you know, a better cast of just winning. So, you know, it would. It's going to be hard for Knicks to pull off this series, but it is doable. It's doable. But I'll, I'll edge, you know, Denver that if one of the two is going to win, it'd be more like Denver has a better chance than New York.
- [53:29]
Dan Patrick
We came up with the hall of Very Good. This was years ago, I think. I think it was because of Joe Johnson. We put him in the hall of Very Good. He's not a Hall of Famer. We put him in as a founding father. Mount Rushmore of Hall of Very Good. Not. It's not an insult, but like, you could be up for hall of Very Good.
- [53:48]
Gilbert Arenas
Okay.
- [53:49]
Dan Patrick
Right.
- [53:50]
Gilbert Arenas
Okay.
- [53:50]
Dan Patrick
Do you accept the nomination of being in the hall of Very Good?
- [53:54]
Gilbert Arenas
Yeah, I, I accept the, the, the nomination of being an NBA player.
- [53:58]
Dan Flores
Right.
- [53:58]
Gilbert Arenas
You know, as you're talking about a small percentage of people who, who, who actually go out to play this game as a youth, and there's only very, very small percentage that's going to make that. So, you know, having a nomination of being very, very good. I, I like that.
- [54:15]
Dan Patrick
Okay. By the way, it's only one very. It's not very, Very. Just saying. Okay.
- [54:22]
Gilbert Arenas
I put so many berries on.
- [54:23]
Dan Patrick
My bad. Yeah. Okay. Some of the players we have in the hall are very good. We have Latrell Freewell.
- [54:31]
Gilbert Arenas
Okay.
- [54:32]
Dan Patrick
Rip Hamilton. Let's see. Who else do we have on there? Poly.
- [54:39]
Gilbert Arenas
Antoine Jameson.
- [54:40]
Dan Patrick
Antoine Jameson.
- [54:41]
Gilbert Arenas
Okay.
- [54:42]
Dan Patrick
Penny Hardaway.
- [54:44]
Gilbert Arenas
Yes.
- [54:46]
Dan Patrick
Very good.
- [54:49]
Gilbert Arenas
He probably gets two varies.
- [54:51]
Dan Patrick
Give him two very. Who else do we have? Paul?
- [54:54]
Dan Flores
How about Jamal Crawford?
- [54:55]
Dan Patrick
20,000 points.
- [54:56]
Gilbert Arenas
Yes.
- [54:57]
Dan Patrick
Paula, Very good.
- [54:59]
Gilbert Arenas
Stefan Mulberry.
- [55:01]
Dan Patrick
Oh, okay. Marbury. Jason Williams.
- [55:07]
Gilbert Arenas
White Chocolate.
- [55:08]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [55:10]
Gilbert Arenas
I'll give it to him. But he's not up there with the Mulberry when it comes to statistical.
- [55:15]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [55:16]
Gilbert Arenas
Because it's, you know, the hall of Fame is whole body of work. Right?
- [55:20]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [55:20]
Gilbert Arenas
Yeah. Okay. So, I mean, he'd be. Jason Williams would be somewhere below, you know, someone like me.
- [55:27]
Dan Patrick
Okay. Like the hall of Very White. Then he would be in, in that.
- [55:31]
Gilbert Arenas
Oh, yeah. Listen, guarding him and who he was as a player. Very, very good.
- [55:38]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [55:39]
Gilbert Arenas
You know, so it's, you know, the, The NBA career versus the body of work is two different things. But, you know, as a dangerous player on the court, he was very, very good.
- [55:47]
Dan Patrick
How about Cliff Robinson?
- [55:50]
Gilbert Arenas
I don't remember Clifford like that. I remember just growing up as a child, you know, you know, the Blazers, you know, so I don't remember, you know, the details of his career, you know. Lou, Will, you can put in there.
- [56:04]
Dan Patrick
How about Baron Davis hall of Very good.
- [56:07]
Gilbert Arenas
Yeah, I can put their Baron Davis in there.
- [56:09]
Dan Patrick
Okay. Who is the best player you played against? Who's not in the hall of Fame?

Gilbert Arenas
Well, I don't think Jamal is up yet, but I'll probably say who hasn't is probably Stefan Marbury. He was. I'm still confused why he's not actually in the hall of Fame.
- [56:29]
Dan Patrick
He was a problem for you.
- [56:31]
Gilbert Arenas
Yeah, I think he has a. I mean, I think he has the best resume for someone who. Who hasn't? You know Chris Weber's in the hall of Fame, right?
- [56:42]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [56:43]
Gilbert Arenas
Okay.
- [56:44]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [56:45]
Gilbert Arenas
You know, some of those guys, you know, some of those guys get in under the radar and you'll be like, wait, what?
- [56:51]
Dan Patrick
Jalen Rose? Yeah.
- [56:54]
Gilbert Arenas
Jalen Rose is very good.
- [56:55]
Dan Patrick
Hall of. Very good, Paula.
- [56:57]
Gilbert Arenas
Very good. Yeah.
- [56:58]
Dan Patrick
Jermaine O'Neill.
- [57:00]
Gilbert Arenas
Yeah. Oh, yes. Yeah. Oh, yes. Jermaine is not in the hall of Fame.
- [57:03]
Dan Patrick
I don't think so.
- [57:04]
Gilbert Arenas
Oh, then Jermaine. I'll put Jermaine number one. Oh, you know, guy. A guy who was like, the reason I'll put him in front of like, somebody like Jamal Tinsley, a Jalen Rose type, is because he was a main player. He was the go to guy. He was a franchise player. So, you know, the franchise guy, the guy who had to carry, you know, the. The load. That's Jermaine O'Neal. He should be in the hall of Fame. He's. He's probably the best one that's not there.
- [57:32]
Dan Patrick
I can't put Jamal Tinsley in the hall of Very good.
- [57:35]
Gilbert Arenas
No. I mean, no, he. He didn't have the NBA career to be there, but he was a really good player.
- [57:40]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [57:41]
Gilbert Arenas
Probably one of the unguardable guys during the. During the years where we trapped the basketball and picked up full court.
- [57:47]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [57:48]
Gilbert Arenas
Was probably the only guy that it didn't work against.
- [57:52]
Dan Patrick
Really?
- [57:53]
Gilbert Arenas
Yeah. His composure during traps and his dribbling skills wasn't fast at all, Wasn't quick at all. Never got rid of the ball. He just toyed with everyone during full court traps, and it was kind of embarrassing to the point. Like, let's just bring it back. Like, he's.
- [58:11]
Dan Patrick
He's kind of.
- [58:14]
Gilbert Arenas
This is pointless.
- [58:15]
Dan Patrick
So once again, it's the hall of Very Good. You're in. Congratulations about a round of applause.
- [58:22]
Gilbert Arenas
Yeah, I appreciate it, guys. I'll take them. I'll take all the accolades I can get.
- [58:28]
Dan Patrick
Hey, but, but is your speech going to resemble Michael Jordan's at the hall of Fame when he made fun of everybody?
- [58:37]
Gilbert Arenas
No, no.
- [58:39]
Dan Patrick
But you're an agitator. You just told me you like to poke.
- [58:43]
Gilbert Arenas
But when you're Michael Jordan, you. You get to make fun of every year. You get to let everybody know how great you are when you are the top dandata. Of course.
- [58:53]
Dan Patrick
So you would have felt honored if he made fun of you?
- [58:56]
Gilbert Arenas
Yes. I'll be just like Charles Barkley. He called me an idiot.
