A couple years ago, Bob Odenkirk showed up out of nowhere as an action star. And nobody. Unbelievable. That movie was a ton of fun. And now he's back.

It's a real delight to see a guy like Odenkirk kick some serious ass. Nobody 2 is produced by 87 north, the same team behind hits like John Wick, Bullet Train, and the Fall Guy. This film also stars Connie Nielsen, RZA, and the legendary Christopher Lloyd and Sharon Stone. Nobody 2 is a perfect summer movie. You don't want to miss this one.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick.

Show on fox Sports Radio.

Seton O'Connor
J.C. treader, former center with the Browns and the packers, former NFL Players association president and chief strategy officer. At least those were former titles because he has decided to step down. Why are you stepping down?
- [04:47]
Adam Sandler
JC Yeah, I feel like I had nothing left to give the organization. I felt like as a player, I sacrificed the back end of my career and I sacrificed time with my family, and I did those for the players, and I would do them again. I love working for the players. In the last five weeks, I feel like I've had to sacrifice my public reputation. There's been some stories out there about me that aren't true, and I've been asked to sit on that and not talk about it. And that was for the organization, that wasn't for the players. And in the end, I feel like I couldn't do that anymore. I've always said the only thing I've ever wanted to care about was being a great dad and a great husband. And once this job wasn't fun anymore or hurt my family, I was out. And it happened both of those at the same time. And it was time for me to leave.
- [05:32]
Seton O'Connor
So Lloyd Howell Jr. The former NFL Players association executive, has decided to step down as well. Be specific on what you're talking about. That is not true. That's being said about you.
- [05:45]
Adam Sandler
Yeah, I mean, there's been a lot of narratives spun. The idea that I buried the collusion grievance. I've never seen the collusion grievance. The collusion. I don't have access to the collusion grievance. I wasn't in any discussions about the collusion grievance. Just not part of my job. The idea that I've been angling for the executive director job since I was a president, also not true. I was asked to run for executive director during the last search. I declined because it would take me away from my family for too much and I wanted to be with my kids. I've got two young kids. I love watching them grow up. There's been a story about us firing an arbitrator that said it was because of me. I don't fire arbitrators. That's legal department. I don't do that stuff. So a lot of things had been rolled down to this must be JC's fault. And that's not where I sit in the organization. And that's not the type of person I am. And I didn't want people thinking that was the type of person I am.
- [06:39]
Seton O'Connor
ESPN reported last week that Howell struck a confidentiality agreement with the NFL six months ago, hid that from the players. And that was a January arbitration decision finding that the league executive urged team owners to reduce guarantee player compensation. When did you find out about that collusion?
- [07:00]
Adam Sandler
I know we lost the collusion grievance in January.
- [07:03]
Dan Patrick
That.
- [07:03]
Adam Sandler
That I knew that I didn't know of any agreements or what was happening with that because it's not part of my department. Once it leaked a few weeks ago, I started learning more. I was on the board call and the EC call when it was explained what had happened over the last six months to the players. So I know more now. But at that point I knew nothing. I Wasn't involved in the discussions.
- [07:26]
Seton O'Connor
There's a quote where you're saying something about Russell Wilson not getting a guaranteed contract with the Denver Broncos. Would you elaborate on that? Is that a accurate quote?
- [07:37]
Adam Sandler
Yeah. So that's the thing about being deposed. They get your phone, they read all your text messages. It's not. Not comfortable. But those are all. Those are all facts. So what had happened was when I retired, I actually did an interview and I talked about. They asked about guaranteed contracts. And I said, the next best person to get a guaranteed contract is Russell Wilson. I thought he was traded for assets similar to Deshaun Watson. He's a former super bowl winner. The team can't just let him leave. They have a lot of pressure on him. They also have a cash rich owner. There was a lot of things in his favor to get a guaranteed contract. When he did not get a guaranteed contract, I texted D and I called him a loser, and I called him a wuss. And I was upset in that moment because I felt like we were missing an opportunity to get guaranteed contracts. We had Kirk Cousins get one years ago, and no one came behind him. And then I was worried we're gonna have the same thing and we're gonna miss an opportunity for players to get guaranteed contracts. That was before the collusion grievance was launched. That was before the idea of collusion had come up. Months later was when we launched the collusion grievance. And that's why in my deposition, they asked me about it, and I said if I knew the league was colluding against Russell, I would apologize because I would know there was factors outside his control and that were illegal and not allowed to happen. But I didn't know that at the time I sent the text message.
- [08:47]
Seton O'Connor
Do you think that owners have been colluding on no more guaranteed contracts?
- [08:53]
Adam Sandler
I can only know what was in that report, which is the arbitrator found that the league encouraged teams to collude. But the arbitrator did not feel like the NFLPA proved that the teams acted on that recommendation and that there is no damages that we could prove either at this point. Now, this is still pending. So even though it was, quote, hidden, it was in a standstill agreement and the right to appeal was still there. So the NFLPA is appealing. So this is still open and could potentially change. So this is still a pending investigation or a pending matter, and I hope it comes out or I hope it's proven that we are able to prove those other two pieces that are needed to win the entire Collusion agreements.
- [09:39]
Seton O'Connor
But isn't there a public record of the owner of the Chargers and the owner of the Cardinals talking about guaranteed contracts for their respective quarterbacks?
- [09:51]
Adam Sandler
Yeah, everything in that collusion. We can talk about what it looks like and then what the findings were or what the arbitrator ruled. And I think one of those is what's the public messaging versus what's the actual findings? And the actual findings as of now is that they wasn't found, that they were colluding. That is still under appeal. And I think the hope is that that changes when it goes to a three judge panel.
- [10:15]
Seton O'Connor
J.C. treader, former NFLPA president, Chief Strategy Officer and of course a former NFL player. Some of these other things with Lloyd Howell Jr. ESPN reported that he was sued for sexual discrimination and retaliation in 2011 when he was an executive at another job strip club going to strip clubs. I don't know who went to the strip clubs. Why is the NFLPA doing business at strip clubs? And were you aware of the sexual discrimination or the retaliation with the former head of the nflpa?
- [10:55]
Adam Sandler
We were aware of those during the search. We brought up those that came out in the background check. We asked him questions during the interviews both with the executive committee and at the final board meeting. We asked him directly about those. He explained his side of the story and the board was comfortable with his answer. And that's how it proceeded. When it comes to the strip club, I was not there. I've never been to a strip club. I don't drink. I don't do anything in that realm. That should not have happened. I wouldn't have done it. It should not have happened. I'm not going to talk about who else was there. That's not my business. I was not. And that's a bad look.
- [11:29]
Seton O'Connor
But is it a business meeting at two different strip clubs like I'm trying to understand. And the fact that he charges it to the NFL Players Association. Correct, Correct.
- [11:41]
Adam Sandler
That was the story. I do not condone it at all. I do not think it is right. It should never have happened. It should never happen going forward.
- [11:49]
Seton O'Connor
How do you think players should feel about the NFL Players association now?
- [11:54]
Adam Sandler
This is not where we wanted to be when we launched the search years ago. We were looking for an executive director that was going to be here for two plus terms. That's like 10 years. That did not happen. So this is not part of the plan. I think what's the most important thing for the players right now is to understand that this is their union. The players need to come together. They need to find an interim to lead in the time being, and then they need to find a search to find somebody that is going to lead them going forward. And this is not the timeline we wanted. We wanted a longer Runway going into the next cba, but these are now where the chips have fallen. And I think the players need to take a very hard look at the organization about what to do moving forward and find the person that's going to come in and make this organization what they want it to be. Because in the end, the players are the most important part of this. That's who leads this. That's who this is all about. And the players need to dive in and take care of it.
- [12:43]
Seton O'Connor
What's the feedback been from current players over the last couple of months?
- [12:49]
Adam Sandler
I mean, this is also a weird time in the schedule where a lot of guys are away, so I don't think a lot of people are paying attention to the news. I've heard from a lot of guys in the last couple of days as they get back in the locker rooms and start talking. I've heard a lot of disappointment for me leaving, which I appreciate. Again, I've told them I've loved working for the players since I became president. It has been an honor, and that no matter what happens, I will always be there for them because that has been always my motivation is just doing what's best for the guys. And that was one of the toughest parts about leaving, was I feel like I lose opportunities to do work for the guys, and that's sad. It was a very emotional weekend for me and I finally woke up with some clarity of this is the best decision for me and my family. But I'm always going to be sad about leaving the organization because those guys do a ton of work and I understand what they go through and what they put on the line and what they deserve, and I really want them to get what they deserve.
- [13:46]
Seton O'Connor
Speaking to a couple of people involved in this and they said they're just a lack of transparency, that it felt like that even when you hired how. That it was kind of cloaked in, you know, it was a clandestine, shrouded in secrecy type of thing. How much of a. I mean, guilty of lack of transparency would you say that's a fair assessment of the NFL Players Association?
- [14:13]
Adam Sandler
I mean, if we go back to search process, yeah, you can say there was a lack of transparency to the outside.
- [14:19]
Seton O'Connor
Right.
- [14:19]
Adam Sandler
Like, but that's not exactly who we represent. Like, I don't think we owe the outside transparency I think we discussed it as player leadership what the search process should look like. We had two previous search processes that weren't good. So it's not like what we used to have was a great option that that beared great results. Wasn't true. So we did something different that the players voted on unanimously and we executed exactly what we as players decided. And that decision was we wanted the players to make their decision without outside interference telling what they should make. And we did that. And in the end you are judged by your results. And the results were not what we wanted. Again, we wanted somebody here for the next 10 years. That did not happen. So I think when they launch their next search they should have a discussion learning from the mistakes of the two previous searches but also the last one of what they want to change and what they want to do different. No search is perfect. I think there are changes needed and I think they will figure out what exactly they're looking for and grow from those. But yeah, I think the transparency is a, is an issue that we talk about of what needs to be known. Again, I have frustrations now because you have two sides of the coin. One of well let the, let the public dive in and get to know these candidates and share what they found out about them. But I look at my situation where there's been a ton of stories out there that just are patently not true and that's not fair to people. It's not fair for somebody with an ax to grind to put out information that isn't true and bury someone's reputation and impact their standing amongst the union. So there are different ways to look at what people should be able to share information on. And I think the guys will end up making the right decision on how they want to run it going forward.
- [15:56]
Seton O'Connor
But I'm also looking at this report ESPN had in May the FBI investigating the financial dealings of the NFLPA and the Baseball Players Association. This is a multi billion dollar group licensing firm, one team partners. Like there's a lot of stuff going on here. Your chief strategy officer and it's feels like nobody knows or knew what was going on here.
- [16:21]
Adam Sandler
Yeah, I'm not going to comment on the investigation. 1 I'm not at the organization anymore in that capacity so I'm not going to speak about it.
- [16:27]
Seton O'Connor
I will say what that's ongoing, is that right? Correct.
- [16:30]
Adam Sandler
And we have outside counsel looking into it with a group of players looking into it. And that's the important part. Right. We have active players who are on a committee to dive into these issues and evaluate all the issues. Because in the end, it's the players union and the players have to know what's going on. The players deserve to know what's going on. You're right. And that is a problem. And the players need to get to the bottom of it. And they will. I'm confident they will.
- [16:55]
Seton O'Connor
When are we going to 18 games?
- [16:59]
Adam Sandler
I don't know. That's a CBA issue.
- [17:01]
Seton O'Connor
So whenever you guys have had discussions for a while about this. So are there concessions that you're asking for the players?
- [17:10]
Adam Sandler
No, not at this point. Again, I think Rogers made it clear. Anytime the microphone gets in his face, he brings up 18 games. So I think he's been clear about what they want. But in the end they can't unilaterally impose that. That needs to be something that's given in a CBA negotiations and those haven't started and those probably aren't going to start for a while at this point with everything going on. And in the end, that is a major. If that is something players are ever willing to give, that is a major give to that damages players, hurts them bad. I know Roger went on a long list of things recently around sharing costs and lowering cash payments and more international games. Those are all things that are really bad for players. And I think players shouldn't rush into a conversation when the other side is listing off a long list of demands that are really bad for them. We have a CBA until 2031. There is no need to rush into those negotiations. If they want to have an early discussion with the players, then they should have a list of things of why it's good for the players. And I haven't heard a reason why having an early negotiation is good for the players at this point.
- [18:08]
Seton O'Connor
Do the player. Should the players trust the commissioner?
- [18:13]
Adam Sandler
This isn't a shot at his character. He works on the other side. There's labor and management. He has bosses that are not the players. He has interests that are not the players interests. So you probably should not trust the person who negotiates on the other side of the table because he has other interests besides that. I think the players need to find a leader, an executive director that they do trust and they want in that room to negotiate their behalf for their best interest. That is how unions work. You need a leader of that union to represent the player's interest and you trust that person. You don't trust the person on the other side of the table.
- [18:46]
Seton O'Connor
I ran into Jim McMahon in Tahoe and he's in Bad shape. I think there was thought that he might lose part of his leg. And I said, well, but don't you have health benefits? And he said no. So why doesn't Jim McMahon like help me understand this? I mean, do you get it for like five years and then that's it, you're done?
- [19:11]
Adam Sandler
So there's a couple different ways, I think. One, we've talked about lifetime health care forever. That's been a conversation for 25 years, probably longer at the union. The issue is that is not an option because no one is offering lifetime health care. To get lifetime healthcare, you need an institution to give you lifetime healthcare and there is nobody willing to offer it. No one's willing to take on that risk no matter what the payment is. So that's the reality. So the next step goes. How do you get insurance to players? What we have right now is if you, if you vest, you get five years post career health insurance. You also build up an HRA account. If you map those out, you can build up some insurance for a while. What we need to do is find other ways to supplement the insurance coverage until we have an institution that is willing to give us lifetime health care and we have the money to pay for it. Because again, that is part of the revenue split. Everything comes out of the revenue split. So if we wanted lifetime health care and we could afford it, it would come out of whether the salary cap or other benefits. But right now that is not an option. So I think one of the important things of the union is going through and figuring out how to give coverage. We have disability benefits, we have health, we have HRA accounts, we have post career health care. We have a bunch of different things that if you stack up the right way, you can have coverage for a long time. But it's not as clean as just like a single plan that lasts forever.

A couple years ago, Bob Odenkirk showed up out of nowhere as an action star and Nobody. I saw this movie in the theaters and I was completely caught off guard but pleasantly surprised by Bob Odenkirk's performance in the first Nobody. So I'm really excited about this one. He's back. And in the sequel, Nobody 2, hitting theaters Aug. 15, Bob returns his hutch. This time he tries to go on vacation with his family, only for all hell to break loose. It's a real delight to see a guy like Odenkirk kick some serious ass. And if you saw the first one, you know he can do it. So he's back again. Nobody 2 is produced by 87 north, the same team behind hits like John Wick, Bullet Train and the Fall Guy. So they have a great track record. The film also stars Connie Nielsen, RZA, and the legendary Christopher Lloyd and Sharon Stone. So they got a great cast to go along with Bob Odenkirk in this one. Nobody 2 is a perfect summer movie.

I saw him and Sandler on the red carpet talking, maybe talking about that next movie that he was going to put Derek Henry in if he rushed for 2,000 yards. Yes, Paul.
- [26:31]
Dan Patrick
To recap that, when on our show, Derek Henry said how much he liked Adam Sandler, and you said, you get 2000, I'm getting you in a movie. And Sandler responded, it's affecting people's fantasy football drafts. The drafts haven't really started yet, but a lot of people on social media, I don't know if they're being facetious, said Derek Henry has some bonus motivation this year.
- [26:51]
Seton O'Connor
We should take a lot of credit.
- [26:52]
Dan Patrick
If Derrick Henry runs for 2,000 yards.
- [26:54]
Seton O'Connor
A lot. Okay. A ton, as a matter of fact. Mostly us.
- [27:00]
Adam Sandler
Yes. A little bit.
- [27:01]
Seton O'Connor
Him. He's the. He's the one doing the heavy lifting. Yes.
- [27:06]
Adam Sandler
But we motivated him, so Coach Harbaugh should thank us.
- [27:13]
Seton O'Connor
Fritz, he's a Sandman.
- [27:14]
Dan Patrick
There sure is.
- [27:15]

Seton O'Connor
How you feeling?
- [27:22]
Dan Patrick
I'm feeling fantastic. Are we on the air?
- [27:25]
Seton O'Connor
Yeah, we are. Yes, we are. Danny.
- [27:27]
Dan Patrick
Danny, I never know with you. I just never know when it's happening. Push and tight today.
- [27:34]
Seton O'Connor
That's the magic, you know, I want to bring you into a conversation. You know, like we're just chatting. If, you know, I. I was on the phone with you or saw you in person, and I just start right in.
- [27:45]
Dan Patrick
But you don't ever answer FaceTimes. I notice.
- [27:49]
Seton O'Connor
No, I don't. I don't. Face time.
- [27:54]
Dan Patrick
I hate that FaceTime, man. Whenever someone FaceTimes me, I'm like, what are we doing right now? It's stupid.
- [28:02]
Seton O'Connor
Do famous people facetime you?
- [28:04]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Yes. I get famous Face times, and they all look very good on it. But the reason I. Okay, here's what I don't like about FaceTime. You're on it, it's blasting out whatever you're saying. You hear what they're saying, and then you got to say it loud. No blah, blah, blah. And then you're walking down the street, everyone's hearing everybody think you're saying, and every. Everything the other person said. It never works out. I like a quiet.
- [28:29]
Seton O'Connor
What's up, guys? Shouldn't FaceTime guys?
- [28:33]
Dan Patrick
That's true.
- [28:33]
Seton O'Connor
Exactly.
- [28:34]
Dan Patrick
Who Needs to see it. You think I need to see any of my friends? And man, do I look horrendous, by the way. My mother on a FaceTime horrific close face.
- [28:45]
Seton O'Connor
Right?
- [28:49]
Dan Patrick
It doesn't matter. I don't know why you're FaceTiming my.
- [28:53]
Seton O'Connor
I FaceTime somebody and they're not used to doing it and they put it up to their ear. So I'm looking in their ear for the FaceTime.
- [29:04]
Dan Patrick
That's a big. Yeah.
- [29:06]
Seton O'Connor
How would you describe the premiere on Monday night?
- [29:09]
Dan Patrick
Oh, my goodness. Man, it was exciting. It was. I did a bunch of talk shows that day. And then I. I kind of just got to where the. The thing was around 6:30. Everybody was kind of going in. I went in with my family, saw like, literally like a hundred superstars were.
- [29:33]
Adam Sandler
Running around the place.
- [29:34]
Dan Patrick
It was so much fun. And they were all in the. Most of them were in the movie. And I don't know. It was a good night. The movie played great. You killed. Swear to God, you. You're the last thing in the whole movie and the whole movie. You and Scotty. Shocker.
- [29:48]
Seton O'Connor
Really?
- [29:50]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. You. You. You riffed some stuff. We wrote down something. You made it more Dan Patricky. What's your character's name in the movie? Not Dan. Patrick. It's Patrick. Pat. Pat Daniels.
- [30:02]
Seton O'Connor
Pat. Pat Daniels. Yes.
- [30:04]
Dan Patrick
Pat Daniels. Rifted hard, man. We got some great. And then. And then the chef brings it down at the end.
- [30:11]
Seton O'Connor
That's great. Who surprised you at the premiere?
- [30:16]
Dan Patrick
You mean like. I didn't know was coming. I didn't know Margaret Qualley was there until Jackie said to me last night, oh, look. And showed me a picture who was there. I said, margaret quality came out and see her. And so then me and Jackie called Margaret and her husband Jack last night and we were like, you guys came? What do you mean, did we come? We were there. We had a great time. I said, I didn't see. I'm sorry. Oh, yeah, no, we didn't want to bug you, that kind of thing. It was. It was. It was packed with nice people.
- [30:46]
Seton O'Connor
Bad Bunny was there.
- [30:48]
Dan Patrick
Bad Bunny, What a stud. You didn't realize that. That the whole world loved Bad Bunny, did you?
- [30:53]
Seton O'Connor
You.
- [30:53]
Dan Patrick
Did you meet the Bunny when we were shooting?
- [30:56]
Seton O'Connor
No, I didn't meet anybody.
- [30:58]
Dan Patrick
Oh yeah, we stuck you in a studio, remember? You tried to meet people and I said, stay here. No.
- [31:06]
Seton O'Connor
I don't know why you. Why do you do that?
- [31:10]
Dan Patrick
Well, Danny, you gotta admit, you were nine date with Guzzling Away. You're like, I want to Talk to you, buddy. I said, you can't do that right now. I'm the danger out here.
- [31:23]
Seton O'Connor
I did that with Aniston in Hawaii. And. And you. You were correct in saying. Because, remember, they were going to go and do Pilates or hot yoga. Hot yoga. I had a chance to go with Aniston, and you would. You did not allow me to go do hot yoga with Jeff Aniston.
- [31:43]
Dan Patrick
You're the whole reason Aniston got a security team.
- [31:51]
Seton O'Connor
Okay, so do you have to watch the original Happy Gilmore to understand the sequel?
- [31:58]
Dan Patrick
No, but it is fun to do it. Actually, when we were writing it, we were writing and writing, and then I said to her, we kept saying, well, in the first one, didn't this happen? And then one night, it literally, like a month into writing, I said, dude, I think we should watch the first one. He goes, oh, right. So we watched it. We're like, oh, yeah, that's right. That happened. Like, there was a bunch of. Bunch of things we forgot about.
- [32:24]
Seton O'Connor
Okay, set the record straight again. I think you told me this, and I've been telling this story, and I think that maybe it's not accurate that Bob Barker said he would be in the fight scene with you in the original, but that he had to win the fight. Is that correct?
- [32:41]
Dan Patrick
Yes. If I remember correctly, that's what was told to me by, you know, like, agents and stuff when they were doing the deal. They said, because we. We wrote it. Honestly, it was written for Ed McMahon, and Ed McMahon passed. And then we were like, I mean, when Happy Gilmore happened, nobody was that excited to be a part of it 30 years ago. So Ed McMahon was like, why would I do that? And he moved on. And then we were like, you know, it would be incredible, Bob Barkford, but there's no way, because once Ed McMahon said no, we were like, yeah, nobody's going to want to do this. I think I did beat up. Beat up Ed McMahon in the first draft. I don't think he won. And then we were like, no one's going to do this, man. But, man, imagine if Bob Barger did it. And then we sent it to Bob, and then he said, yeah, yeah, I'll do it. It's fine. Funny. But I got to win the fight. And we were like, yeah, baby, as long as you do it, we'll do anything you want.
- [33:38]
Seton O'Connor
Bob, how often do you call people to nudge them to be in the movie?
- [33:45]
Dan Patrick
It's always. Always you feel like a jerk because, you know, because I get those calls and you go, what happened? I was going to have a normal Saturday, and now I got to go do this because my. I picked up the phone. That. That. So I don't love doing it. But if we write something funny, you know, like Eminem's in this one. I love Eminem. I'm friends with Eminem, but I don't want to bother the man. And everybody kept saying, man, Eminem would be so funny in this part. And I was like, I don't want to ruin this guy's time. He's hanging out. He's in Detroit. He's doing his life, making records. And then I started going, but it certainly would be funny if he did it. So that then, all right, let me bug Marshall. And, yeah, give him a call and say, dude, I know it's a pain in the ass, but it's pretty funny. You mind shooting out to us for a day? And then he's like, yeah, yeah, send me the stuff. And then it goes like that. That's how it goes down.
- [34:43]
Seton O'Connor
He was in Funny People, wasn't he?
- [34:45]
Dan Patrick
Yes, yes, yes. You know, I met. I met him. I remember the first time I met him, I was at Saturday Night Live. I was. I wasn't on the show anymore, and I was sitting at an after party. I went by SNL just. Just to hang out, I think, or maybe at a little bit or some. Something. And I was at the table with all my guys, and he was the musical guest with Dre. And we were at the after party, and then Marshall walked by our table, and he. He looked at me, and I looked at him like, oh, yeah, that kid's. That kid's pretty damn cool. And then he goes, Bobby Boucher. Something like that. Oh, yes, that's what's up, Marshall. And then we became friendly after that. And then. Then, of course, yeah, he was in Funny People. We hung out.
- [35:32]
Seton O'Connor
He's Adam Sandler. Happy Gilmore 2. It'll be this Friday on Netflix.
- [35:38]
Dan Patrick
Yes.
- [35:39]
Seton O'Connor
How different. But how different is this that it goes right to a streaming platform as opposed to being in the movie theaters? How long did it take you to get adjusted to that?
- [35:50]
Dan Patrick
I'm adjusted to that, but, like, the. At the premiere the other night, it was a thousand seater, so it was pretty packed. And it was fun hearing the laughs out loud and cheers. And it was really cool. Every time in the beginning, like the first 30 minutes, every time Happy picked up a club, the crowd started whooping and like, here we go, baby. You know, like there was some sort of excitement about Happy smashing it big and so that was nice to be around people, but. But I get it now. And Netflixes is so worldwide. But I'm not kidding you, Danny. When we do these movies now and wherever the hell you are in the world, people. People talk to you about the movie now. It's just. It's just the weirdest thing. There's no. No place to hide anymore when you're trying.
- [36:43]
Seton O'Connor
You know, in the original with the. The hockey slap shot, playing golf, like, how challenging is that? I don't know if you're a hockey player, but no, you're from New Hampshire, so maybe on you, you played a little bit. Little.
- [36:57]
Dan Patrick
Just played the frozen driveway hockey as a kid. And I think I skated with my buddies growing up. But all my buddies were awesome hockey players. My one pal in particular, Kyle McDonough, who went on to play pro hockey, and his brother Hubie played pro hockey, though they were like the superstars in my town. And I was best friends with Kyle and he. He went golfing with me and my dad and used to smash the ball. So that's. That's kind of how the whole idea of the movie came. And yeah, I didn't play play hockey, but I did know that it would be cool to make. Make it a slap shot kind of thing. Run up and bang the ball.
- [37:40]
Seton O'Connor
That's update the Derrick Henry situation. I saw where he was at the premiere. You were having a conversation with him. Can you add anything?
- [37:50]
Dan Patrick
First of all, very nice. Loves you. Loves you. I mentioned your name. He just automatically started laughing. Maybe he was laughing at you and what you mean. But there was. You brought laughter to him. But. But he was very nice and strong man, by the way. I get it now. He can run over people.
- [38:10]
Seton O'Connor
He.
- [38:10]
Dan Patrick
He was nice enough not to run me over. And then I just said, we're doing a movie together, baby. And yeah, you. You set this up that if he gets how many yards? 5,000, 20,000 yards in one game. You made it very difficult. So anyways, we. We. I'm taking that wager away. He's getting the yards he needs to get. He can get the 2000. But why not? We'll just. Let's just do it. Let's just do. Let's just have the man be in one of the movies and have fun. Like. Like we all like to do. Have fun.
- [38:45]
Seton O'Connor
Oh, okay. So Derrick Henry is in the next movie.
- [38:51]
Dan Patrick
Well, it's gotta be. I already told him he is. So what am I gonna say now? Okay, I said, you know what? I was thinking about it. You're not. Now try to run me over. Imagine that moment.
- [39:03]
Seton O'Connor
Okay. Do you want to say what the next movie is going to be?
- [39:09]
Dan Patrick
I wish I knew right now, pal. I was just with Netflix brass. They were trying to stare me down and intimidate me, and I didn't let it happen. I said, you wait for this. Sandman's gonna tell you what's up soon enough. Who's Sandman? I said, me, me. Come on.
- [39:30]
Seton O'Connor
But I think you. When we went to dinner.
- [39:32]
Dan Patrick
No matter what.
- [39:34]
Seton O'Connor
Thank you. When we went to dinner in New York, you did let it slip of what the next movie was going to be.
- [39:42]
Dan Patrick
You know, just talk of it. Man, I gotta write these damn things, Danny. I gotta write them.
- [39:49]
Seton O'Connor
Okay? You could be working on this movie.
- [39:53]
Dan Patrick
No, Danny, don't. It's Happy Gilmore Two time.
- [39:58]
Seton O'Connor
Okay, all right. I'm just. I'm trying to figure out. I. I have a life and I have a schedule. I like. I work every day.
- [40:08]
Dan Patrick
You do work hard, Danny. You look great, by the way. Danny. When we went out to dinner, New York City, we're walking down the street, what were you, about a mile away from your hotel? And we walked home. You walk fast, Danny. Danny was walking through New York City blazing short shorts because it's summertime. And he goes hard. Have little half fun hanging out on Danny. And the crowd's going nuts, like, Danny, no, no. Yes.
- [40:35]
Seton O'Connor
We probably ran into 70 people on the street in New York City. You even said, we leave. That. We left the restaurant and you said, you don't want to walk with the Sandman. And I know because I'm gonna guess 68 of the 70 people that stopped us wanted a photo with you.
- [40:56]
Dan Patrick
That's true.
- [40:57]
Seton O'Connor
One guy who stopped us, he wanted me to take the photo of you and him.
- [41:03]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [41:03]
Seton O'Connor
And then there was one guy that said, oh, by the way, oh, can I get a picture with you as well?
- [41:09]
Dan Patrick
So I told you why that night. I told you that night why people didn't want to say they were nervous with it, how short the shorts were. They were like, why is he all oiled up? It didn't make sense. And what was with the referee whistle? They're like, why did you keep. It didn't make sense, man.
- [41:27]
Seton O'Connor
I had my shorts on that I wore when I climbed the rope.
- [41:33]
Dan Patrick
The Larry Burners, man.
- [41:36]
Seton O'Connor
Larry Bird.
- [41:37]
Dan Patrick
Isn't that cool? How about how good Indiana was this year? That was. That was amazing, huh?
- [41:44]
Seton O'Connor
What are you talking about?
- [41:46]
Dan Patrick
I don't know. I just was happy. I'm always, always happy whenever Indiana, not, you know, I didn't want to beat the Knicks course. But when they won I was like, well, that made Larry Bird happy. That's a good thing.
- [41:57]
Seton O'Connor
Do you feel good about your Knicks?
- [41:59]
Dan Patrick
My nips, my nipples are. Oh, you said Nick. Okay, I was good. Nipples are fine. Nipples are not huge, not small, whatever. They're mediocre. But the Knicks, the Knicks are fantastic. I saw Jordan Clarkson at a hotel. Obvious psychedees on the team.
- [42:17]
Bob Odenkirk
I love them.
- [42:20]
Seton O'Connor
Wait, you think that's going to be the difference that Jordan.
- [42:23]
Dan Patrick
I think it's going to be helpful.
- [42:24]
Seton O'Connor
Put him over.
- [42:25]
Dan Patrick
You love him, you love him. And I do think it's going to be very effective. Don't you dare laugh. My necks.
- [42:33]
Seton O'Connor
So Sandman plays pickup basketball before we go to dinner. Oh yeah, yeah. So. And, and so it's a nice restaurant, right, that we went to. And Sandman goes, well, you know, there's a place of park there. I'm going to play pickup basketball. So he is sweating. You had your flower Hawaiian shirt on your shorts and then you come walking in. But you said that the guys were kind of picking on you a little bit. One guy, One guy in particular.
- [43:05]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, he was fast and he kept.
- [43:10]
Seton O'Connor
Didn'T he say something about Kyrie?
- [43:12]
Dan Patrick
Well, listen, the kid had great handles. He admired Kyrie. He burned me. I literally had no idea where he was going. I kept looking at my teammates going, why am I covering this guy? Just give me a big dude that I can, you know, foul all the time. This guy, I can't catch at all. And he would burn past me. He didn't put it through my legs or anything. I didn't allow that. But he certainly, after he buzzed by me would say he gave me a little Kyrie reaction and what could I do, Danny, I'm an older man. Even when I was, even when I was 19, I wasn't covering this kid. He was just too, he had, he had good handles. You know, I love covering Danny, a 300 pound man who's never played before. That's my kind of dude.
- [43:58]
Seton O'Connor
Are you better than Timothy Chalamet?
- [44:00]
Dan Patrick
Timothy Jimothy's quick. It's quick. I can't say it's a different game. No, I won't say I'm better. If we played one on one it would be exciting. But, but he's, he's fast, got a good shot, got good handles and he is quicker than me. You know my biggest problem right now at the 58, Danny, which you're, you said you're. What 80. You're 81. You told me recently. But Danny, covering these dudes, when they come up, when you've got to cover a guy up top, you go to the top of the key. You play in half court. There's too much space for them to burn past you. So I give them three feet, don't allow them. And then they always hit him, hit him. Everyone can shoot deep now, including shallow.
- [44:44]
Seton O'Connor
Well, I hope the movie is good. Okay? I'm gonna trust you that it's good. Okay?
- [44:53]
Dan Patrick
I know the parts you're in are good. That's all that, that's all you think about, Danny.
- [44:58]
Seton O'Connor
Will there be a happy Gilmore 3?
- [45:01]
Dan Patrick
I didn't think of that, Dan. I don't know. I just got to see how this feels. The two took long enough. My wife said to me recently, she thinks I'm gonna live because she's good at predicting the future. I'm Gonna Live to 112. She gave me that. So there is time to do a happy Gilmore 3. 112.
- [45:22]
Seton O'Connor
Grown ups. Grown ups 3.
- [45:25]
Dan Patrick
I gotta do a lot of things, Danny. You know what? You know what else? You know what else I got to do? Which I, I, I, I'm struggling. I gotta lose at least 40 right now, and I'm not doing it. Danny, Danny. Last night at 10 o' clock at night, I was fine. I was in the house with my wife. Kids were talking, not, not really talking to me much. I said to my wife, hey, you want to go to the diner and get some eggs? She goes, why don't you stay here? I go, nah, come on, we'll go to the diner. She goes, you're happy here, aren't you? Trying to get me out of this hell I'm creating for myself. I said, well, go get some eggs. He goes, are you obsessed with the eggs? I said, let's get eggs and come back. Went out, she didn't eat. I somehow had a cheeseburger, bowl of soup and the chocolate shake. There were no eggs involved.
- [46:10]
Seton O'Connor
That's why you got to lose £40, Danny.
- [46:14]
Dan Patrick
I'm just adding on to what I got to lose. That's how I feel. I go add a little more, just. And then we'll get to the loser.
- [46:22]
Seton O'Connor
All right. Good to talk to you. Congrats on the movie, dude.
- [46:27]
Dan Patrick
I'm excited for everyone to see it. Thank you again for being in it. That was so much fun. When we shot together, you were, you were great, Danny. And honestly, you think you're in three or four spots and everybody who was in it. All the athletes, all the sports announcers, all the all just basketball, Great, great football. Anybody who was nice enough to drop by, superstar actors, rappers, singers. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Derek Henry
A couple years ago, Bob Odenkirk showed up out of nowhere as an action star and nobody. I saw this movie in the theaters and I was completely caught off guard but pleasantly surprised by Bob Odenkirk's performance in the first Nobody. So I'm really excited about this one. He's back. In the sequel Nobody 2, hitting theaters August 15th, Bob returns his hutch. This time he tries to go on vacation with his family, only for all hell to break loose. It's a real delight to see a guy like Odenkirk kick some serious ass. And if you saw the first one, you know he can do it. So he's back again. Nobody 2 is produced by 87 north, the same team behind hits like John Wick, Bullet Train and the Fall Guy, so they have a great track record. The film also stars Connie Nielsen, RZA and the legendary Christopher Lloyd and Sharon Stone. So they got a great cast to go along with Bob Odenkirk in this one. Nobody 2 is a perfect summer movie. You don't want to miss this one. Nobody 2 is in theaters August 15th.

- [51:49]
Seton O'Connor
Which. Which role that you've had is most like you. Okay. TV's Randall Morgan. That's from. That's my boy. That's my boy. Yeah. That was great. Tanner Patrick, I believe, is your name from. Is that. Just go with it. Just go with it. Yeah. In blended, I think he played a guy named Dick. I think that was the character's name. Yes, I was Greek. Yeah. So, yeah, I was Dick. What about. And then the other option was Auto Store Lou. That's where you had the. The wig on. What is that from? That was with David Spade, I think. And I. I wanted a haircut that resembled an Alabama quarterback. Yes, yes. I think Tanner Patrick, you're. That's the one where you're up on stage with Aniston and Kidman. You're fond of that character. They were up on stage with me. My apologies. Yes, of course. It was my nightclub. That or the police officer in the Longest Yard. That. That was. That I was allowed to ad lib in the. In that one. So many roles, so many great moments. Yes. He's Derek Henry, set to join us. So the last time Derek was on and he said, oh, I'm a big Sandler fan. This is at the end of the interview. And I said, hey, you rush for 2,000 yards, I'll get you in the next Sandler movie. So he was excited. I mean, that is asking a lot to get into movie. Rushed for 2,000 yards. So I reached out to Sandler, and Sandler said, yeah, well, put him in. And then all of a sudden, I see the premier and some of the people at the New York City premiere with Happy Gilmore, too, and I see Derek Henry there. I'm thinking, okay, maybe something's going on here. Derek Henry joining us on the program. How did it go when you saw Sandler at the premiere?
- [53:46]
Bob Odenkirk
Man, it was everything. I imagined it to be a surreal moment because of you. So I appreciate you for even, you know, making it all come about, man. Yeah, man. Adam just laid back, cool, down to earth, dude. So it was. It was cool, man. And I see why so many people, like, gravitate to him, man, because he seemed like he's a really good dude.
- [54:09]
Seton O'Connor
How did you get invited to the premiere?
- [54:13]
Bob Odenkirk
The Netflix team reached out and seen if it will be possible. It was a day. Day right before camp. But when they told me once it premiered me, I was like, yes, I'm going. We're gonna make it happen. Some. Some way or another.
- [54:26]
Seton O'Connor
I gotta go but it sounds like you don't have to rush for 2,000 yards this year.
- [54:32]
Bob Odenkirk
Oh, yeah, I saw that clip yesterday, which is pretty unique, but I'm gonna still try to hold my energy deal up, and that's what I can to go get it. But, yeah, man, I. I can't even put it in words, man. It just, you know, like, kid growing up watching Adam and, you know, being able to represent it with this and, you know, I really was just telling you just to say hi, send a message for me, and look what it turned to, you know, so credit to you and the show and getting out there. But yeah, man, I can't put in the words.
- [55:08]
Seton O'Connor
Did you get a picture with him?
- [55:09]
Bob Odenkirk
I got a pic. Yes. I got a pig.
- [55:11]
Seton O'Connor
Okay.
- [55:12]
Bob Odenkirk
Frame it. I might even get it. Somebody name it and put in my man cave. For sure.
- [55:18]
Seton O'Connor
No, once you go in, you know, you're in the movie, then you're gonna see him. Then you just bring the picture with you. Then he'll autograph it for you.
- [55:26]
Bob Odenkirk
That's even better. See, look at you, man.
- [55:28]
Seton O'Connor
Yeah.
- [55:28]
Bob Odenkirk
We might have to start doing a weekly thing. You know how Aaron Robinson does with Pat McAfee.
- [55:33]
Dan Patrick
I'm about to come on the show, See?
- [55:37]
Seton O'Connor
You think Lamar Jackson makes place? I mean, I make plays, Derek.
- [55:41]
Bob Odenkirk
Oh, you do? Yes. I always am indebted to you.
- [55:46]
Seton O'Connor
He's just a little faster than me. That's it. Just a. A little faster. Who did you meet at the premiere that was exciting for you? Aside from Adam, I saw a lot.
- [55:57]
Bob Odenkirk
Of people that, you know, you see on TV a lot. Celebrities, guys I grew up watching. But I didn't want to bother nobody. I was just there just, you know, taking in the moment. Got to meet Adam and, you know, just appreciative of. Of being there. There's so many people there that I ain't want to be coming up to nobody. This is like, hey, hey, what's up? You know, I'll just, you know, look. Look at them from afar and be like, dang, that's kind of. That's cool. Which I've seen a lot of people there.
- [56:21]
Seton O'Connor
Yeah. But.
- [56:24]
Bob Odenkirk
I got to meet a lot of Adam, his. I think his best friend, his producer, one of the producers that made Water Boy. And I got. I got to meet all of them, mainly, like, you know, I met a lot of associates with Adam, which was. Which was pretty cool. And they all knew about the whole thing. They were talking about it because I.
- [56:42]
Seton O'Connor
Don'T know what the movie is going to be, but do you Want to play yourself or do you want to play a character?
- [56:49]
Bob Odenkirk
I don't, I mean, whatever, whatever I can do to get a role. I'm down. I don't care.
- [56:54]
Seton O'Connor
No, you're in. You're in. We, we, we established that yesterday. You're in. No matter what happens this season.
- [57:02]
Bob Odenkirk
Yeah. If I got to put on some gray hair and put a beard mustache on or not, I'll do this.
- [57:10]
Seton O'Connor
Maybe, maybe you could be like Tyler Perry when he plays Medea. You could.
- [57:16]
Bob Odenkirk
I don't know that one. Maybe I could be the uncle. He's uncle, but I don't know about being made.
- [57:23]
Seton O'Connor
Okay, how do you, how did I look in the movie? How did I perform?
- [57:28]
Bob Odenkirk
You did good. You did a great job. Yeah, you look like yourself.
- [57:34]
Seton O'Connor
You did.
- [57:34]
Bob Odenkirk
Did a great job. Thought was funny.
- [57:38]
Seton O'Connor
And how would you rate the movie since, you know, comes out today?
- [57:44]
Bob Odenkirk
I would give. If the first ever gilmore was a 10, I would give this one a nine.
- [57:56]
Seton O'Connor
A nine. Okay. All right. All right. We're talking to Derek Henry, the Ravens running back. I don't know if you saw this. It felt like there were a lot of conversations about maybe Nick Saban would come back and coach and coach in the NFL. Somebody even speculated the Cleveland Browns. What would, what are your thoughts on Coach Saban coaching in the NFL?
- [58:19]
Bob Odenkirk
I don't know. I don't, I couldn't see coach coming back to, to coaching. I mean, I mean, there's always speculation, so, you know, can't really say. But I mean, I don't, I don't see it. I feel like Brooks had a hell of a run. Like he's enjoying his free time and, you know, doing tv, being on, on game day, on all these commercials. I think it has to be something really, really, I guess, meaningful. Meaningful. Meaningful to him to want to my retirement to, to pursue. But I, I just don't want to see it.
- [58:58]
Seton O'Connor
What advice would you give to Miles Garrett if Nick Saban would go to the Cleveland Browns.
- [59:07]
Bob Odenkirk
To be ready to hit every day, then not. But I'm sure, I'm sure he's, he's used to that. But I don't know. I mean, you know, comes to NFL or college, you know, every philosophy changes, you know, depending on, you know, him being away and, you know, going to other places and, you know, just a different change up for him. So he might change up when he get to the NFL.
- [59:35]
Seton O'Connor
I don't know. He's not changing at his age.
- [59:38]
Bob Odenkirk
I know, but I mean, times have changed. You seen how, you know him Been in college with Nil. I'm sure he wasn't too. He didn't really like that too much and you know, just it's a different time now than when he coached in the NFL and until till now. So, I mean, you know, you gotta adjust.
- [59:56]
Seton O'Connor
So how bummed. How bummed are you that you missed out on Nil?
- [60:03]
Bob Odenkirk
I'm sure a lot of guys are kind of like, hey, you know, why couldn't that happen when, you know, I was in school? But I mean, I guess, you know, things happen when they're so supposed to happen and guess we open the door to the guys that are. Are getting it out. But it would have been nice to be able to have Nil, if I was even out in college.
- [60:27]
Seton O'Connor
What kind of car did you drive in college?
- [60:30]
Bob Odenkirk
I had a. A red Challenger.
- [60:35]
Seton O'Connor
Can you fit in that thing?
- [60:38]
Bob Odenkirk
I fit. I made it work. I made it work. That's my first. That's my first car. Car and I had a real Challenger.
- [60:45]
Seton O'Connor
But you don't have that anymore.
- [60:47]
Bob Odenkirk
I don't have it anymore. I don't. I don't.
- [60:49]
Seton O'Connor
Now what are you down. What are you driving?
- [60:52]
Bob Odenkirk
Dang, he put me on the spot. I got a. A Bentley. I have a Mercedes. Yes. Those type of things.
- [61:07]
Seton O'Connor
Okay. All right, let's see. See what you're doing.
- [61:11]
Bob Odenkirk
What's your favorite car? What's your favorite car?
- [61:13]
Seton O'Connor
I actually have a Kia.
- [61:17]
Bob Odenkirk
I might have to give me one of those like an everyday. Give me a Kia.
- [61:20]
Seton O'Connor
That's. That's what I have. It's very sensible car. That's, you know, that, that's what I wanted. Now I do have some sports cars. I have Porsches.
- [61:31]
Bob Odenkirk
See, there we go. Now. I knew it was gonna come at some point. The big end.
- [61:34]
Seton O'Connor
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's not a Rolls Royce.
- [61:39]
Bob Odenkirk
That's my dream car. I always wanted to get one and, you know, that was a dream car. I guess a gift to myself. Something I always wanted.
- [61:47]
Seton O'Connor
I mean, that's what a. That's what a big time celebrity drives or. No, they actually have somebody drive them in their Rolls Royce.
- [61:54]
Bob Odenkirk
Yeah. Then they might have more than one. They might have one. Somebody drives them and some they want to drive. But I'm not that big yet. I ain't got. I ain't got to that point.
- [62:04]
Seton O'Connor
Are you going to play in preseason?
- [62:06]
Bob Odenkirk
I'm not sure if.
- [62:09]
Seton O'Connor
Do you want to?
- [62:10]
Bob Odenkirk
That's what coach wants to do. Then I'll then not play. I have no.
- [62:13]
Seton O'Connor
Do you want to.
- [62:15]
Bob Odenkirk
I mean, I mean, whatever it's I. I can play or they don't want me to play, but football is football. It's. It's the season now, so, you know, whatever requirements.
- [62:28]
Seton O'Connor
Do running backs need practice?
- [62:31]
Bob Odenkirk
Hell, yeah. Excuse my language. Yes, you do. Yes. Yes.
- [62:35]
Seton O'Connor
Wait, wait. But what are you gonna learn? You know, everything. Like, what are you practicing?
- [62:43]
Bob Odenkirk
I mean, like. Yes. I mean, I'm in year 10, but I always feel like it's, like, room to grow. I feel like it's always like. I don't know. That's how I feel. I feel like there's always you. You get better by reps, repetition, practice, and all those things. I feel like for you to be able to. To be great, you got to go through those things to. To accomplish the things that you want to accomplish. And for good stuff to happen, the work got to be put in. So, yes, you need to practice.
- [63:14]
Seton O'Connor
Who's the best running back in the NFL.
- [63:19]
Bob Odenkirk
Besides myself? I would say Saquon.
- [63:22]
Seton O'Connor
Okay. You're better than Saquon, right?
- [63:27]
Bob Odenkirk
In my opinion. But, I mean, I'm sure he did something by himself.
- [63:33]
Seton O'Connor
That's the right answer. Right answer. Does it feel good to get hit? Sometimes.
- [63:40]
Bob Odenkirk
The physicality of the game is always. There's always fun. It's not an adrenaline rush to get it. You get. Whenever you get hit and go up there and make another play, it's a part of the game. So if you don't love it, then you know you ain't gonna last long.
- [63:56]
Seton O'Connor
Okay, don't worry about the 2, 000 yards now because we. You can concentrate on the season. I got the movie taken care of, so you just go out. I don't.
- [64:07]
Bob Odenkirk
I almost try my hardest to get it, but I don't. I don't want it just to be handed to me. I gotta earn it, you know? So tell. If you talk to Adam again, let them know I'm gonna. I'm still gonna try my hardest.
- [64:16]
Seton O'Connor
Okay, I'll. I'll text him and tell him that you're gonna still try for. You know, you affected. You're gonna affect some fantasy drafts because people are like, damn, I gotta get Derek Henry. He's. He's gonna get 2,000 yards. I just don't want you to go ease off the accelerator now because now you're in the movie.
- [64:33]
Bob Odenkirk
No, not at all. People have been writing me. I mean, it's been crazy ever since that just came out. People have just been hitting me up about that over and over again.
- [64:41]
Seton O'Connor
Which is cool, because you might get defensive players like T.J. watt may say. Yeah, you're not getting in a Sandler movie.
- [64:49]
Bob Odenkirk
Yeah. I don't know. I'm sure it's probably gonna be on everybody's bulletin board and it's gonna be. It's gonna be everywhere because it's already been everywhere.
- [64:57]
Seton O'Connor
So good. You're gonna be a marked man. Yeah. They're coming after you and they're gonna knock the actor out of you. That's what they're gonna try to do. So. But once again, I got you taken care of. We got the movie. Concentrate on football. And thanks for joining us.
