Hour 1 - DP's Retirement Tour Begins, Saquon Sitting

Published Jul 20, 2023, 4:42 PM

Dan confirms that he will be retiring at the end of his latest contract extension in 2027. And he thinks the running back position needs to evolve as Giants RB Saquon Barkley threatens to sit out the entire season.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. Made it to a Thursday. It's our one Dan and the Dan Eds Dan Patrick Show, and the retirement tour officially begins. Oh. I got phone calls yesterday, I got text messages. My wife said, are you retiring? I go in four and a half years. She goes, well, why would you announce it? I said, I was announcing a contract extension. I signed a new contract with iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio, and Peacock. That's not breaking.

News, that's funny. Did you say that yesterday?

I signed a new contract?

Oh, that's fine. I don't remember that part of the story at all.

Yeah, you just heard the retirement part of it. But I signed a new contract, so it was a contract extension, and they're in a retirement tour, yes, or a young poet.

But the way you delivered it yesterday, like Seaton said, was much more like I'm announcing that this show and your career is going to end as a radio host at least in four and a half years. You didn't. You could have turned it in a positive direction, like guys, four and a half moore years, let's go, let's go, and people would have covered it completely differently.

But then you would have asked, knowing you, well, what happens in four and a half years.

I think Fritzy would have asked, yes, oh.

Fritzy constantly asking how long I'm going to do this?

This seemed quite specific yesterday, I think Christmas Eve, twenty twenty seven, this is the last contract I'm going to sign, and therefore that the retirement tour officially starts.

I'm very happy with how definitive. You're being very happy. Yeah, that's it, and I appreciate it.

Yeah.

Well, it finally gives us all the ability to plan our lives.

Yeah, to a degree, because this isn't going to be Uh, you didn't tell me, hey, are you retiring? Retiring for good?

I feel like I have four years you do to make something of myself.

Now you but I don't want you to go all mc loven because McLevin all of a sudden didn't want to be McLevin. He wanted to be Andrew Perlow. I want to be Yes.

I don't want you to clean up your acc Yeah, no, I don't don't have to worry about that. I probably won't be able to clean up my act and I'm just gonna have to figure out, you know, like a real adult life.

Yes, career, You're you've been giving a heads up to make something of your life over the next four and a half years.

What could go wrong?

Yes, Marvin?

Wait, so I got to come up with like a resume. Yeah, go to a job interview. So Marven, what did you do as.

A danit dan danit?

Yeah?

Was that a danit?

What?

Yes?

Time?

But even if we all.

Update our resumes, now, what jobs can you apply to four and a half years out?

They don't even do that.

How do you know if you get a job over the next four and a half years and you want to take it, you can.

Wow, someone says we would love to hire you starting January of twenty twenty eight.

Come on in, let's chat.

Yes, yes, se Do you think that in four and a half years this fivesome is in act on December twenty fourth, twenty twenty seven.

Do you think that we all together?

Yeah?

Yeah?

No, Wow, that's a bold statement.

Well, it's a long time. We've been together a long time.

It's a long time.

Yeah. I hope we stay together. But I gotta be fair to the surroundings, you know, understand everybody's lives where they want to be, what they want to do. You got families, wives, kids, I get that.

Yeah, someone else could retire before you. Ooh, I mean we No one else has announced the retirement, but someone else on the crew can announce their retirement.

And well, I feel like that's either either you, Paul or Todd. Because I haven't planned one ounce for my future.

I was gonna say, that's very understanding of you, but it's if you had to pick one, who do you think is the one.

Of the four that you don't see here Christmas Eve twenty.

Twenty Probably Paulie. He's got other things, so I can understand that, Uh not you. I think you would be here for the long home. I think Seaton would, and I think Marv would as well. But I'm optimistic that everybody stays together. I love that the one quote that kind of was pulled, Yes, here we go. Hey, I want to make sure as there you do journalist, I get this right. Let's see twenty twenty seven. That's when the microphone gets turned off for the final time. I'm going to take my hairpiece and I'm going to give it to Fritzy.

Do you every thing that was said yesterday about me being bald, and you're giving me your happyer how.

To get out what I've seen that on social media or on news articles all over the place.

I know, I love that Master Holt.

I think finished up his broadcasting and he's giving his hair to Fritzy.

And a final note here in the nightly news.

I'm worried though, that people who are maybe are casual sports fans or sports media fans, think that you have a hair piece. So we would like to issue a correction, a clarification.

You don't need to, I know.

I just want to be careful.

You don't just have eye hair piece. You have the best one in the bank.

You thank you.

Part of my job is to protect the hair.

There are some people I've worked with you have a pretty good hair piece.

That's a final show.

Yes, the last show is going to be phenomenal. No guest, last show, you won't have any trust me.

At one point in the next four years, do guests start saying goodbye? Do we have a big party at the end of this Do we have like a yank Win rent out on Nights of Columbus And.

Well, it's going to be Christmas Eve when we say goodbye. I don't know why the BFW.

Yeah, dude, all of the fancy things where growing up. It's like, oh wow, it's a party at the Knights of the KFC. Whoa, dude, it's all it's at the VFW. Oh they're really going big.

A nice Chinese restaurant. That's the only thing that's going to be open Christmas Eve. So we should start booking that in advance.

That's like a Christmas story where they have their meal.

Dude, your Christmas party that year is.

Going to be the yep. Yeah, but we got a lot of time here to prepare. And I did have a couple of people saying, what are you retiring from? And I said, domination? You know, I think it's it's time to step down and let somebody younger get in the chair.

Yeah.

That that is a pet peeve of I think all of ours. I would love to just feel free. Anyone who says that, come, come do fifteen hours of live radio week Yeah.

There are actually a couple of people in the business who sent those texts yesterday free. What are you retiring from a job that you can't do as well as I do?

Say that, but you don't need to say as well as I do the job. I've been working here a long time and I've seen some people step into a three hour chair and they burn all their stories in the first segment and they're just there. They look like they're war you know, they're just like, what do we do?

I don't know what do I do?

So the contract extension, maybe I left that out yesterday and just letting you know that it's a contract extension. So it's good news. But then also, I'm going to retire at the end of that contract extension.

Yes, Mark, you failed to mention our world tour.

Yeah, Buddy Bucket, let's okay. Well, I'm leaving that up to Seaton. Seaton is going to be the he's captain Stubing, he's going to pilot the love boat here. Yes, we have certain things and people did reach out very very generous, saying you got to do this before you retire with the show.

Here's a copious notes yesterday scene he was writing down like twenty different places that we could all go through.

He's all over it.

Yeah, Seaton, what are the things that they said?

You have to share that? Quite well? I will, but I don't want to do it publicly, Okay, I'll do it privately and let you know. Some people reached out and very generous offers that if we wanted to go certain places at certain times and do certain things. Oh heck yet, And if you guys are willing to go skydiving, then who would go skydiving?

I think I well, I got I got to ask my family.

Yeah, I got it.

Yeah, they get in the way of everything. Okay, there's a as soon as I found out that I was having a child, there are a bunch of things that I immediately checked off as like, well, I guess I'm never doing that, and skydiving was.

One of them.

Okay, we were invited to go skydiving.

By the person who wants to replace you.

Yeah, it's weird. Nick Wright said, I'm going to pay for you skydiving.

You guys should go running with the bulls with the bulls.

I know we did. We did get an invitation to run with the bulls.

That's that should be high on the list of things to go do.

Well, Okay, when do we run with the bulls? Because I'm I'm assuming I'm going to lose Fritzy because you only have to be faster than the slowest guy in the group.

I don't think I'll get like six steps before I get trampled and all.

Why don't we cover the running of the bulls and do our show from a nice.

But don't you want to run with the bulls?

I'm usually team bull. Gotta be honest. Yeah, you're root.

I am too, I almost.

I actually hate the running of the bulls, but I will go. But I do. I am very much team bull and enjoy the carnage. Yeah, I do root for the bull, god admit. And then bullfighting, I root for the bull as well.

Well.

It never it never works out for the bull.

But yeah, no matter how well he does, he doesn't do well at the very anti Mattador.

I didn't know that till today.

No, No, I'm pro Bowl, not anti Mattador. Eight seven seven three DP show Email address dpat Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle it DP show. We say good morning if you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner and our radio affiliates around the country. iHeartRadio. Fox Sports Radio operator Tyler sitting by taking your phone calls each seven to seven three DP show.

Yes, someone just email me what if Fox Sports Radio and Peacock try to franchise tag you at the end of four and a half.

Years, well they I might sit out. I might have to do a Saquon Barkley. Here's Saquon Barkley on the Money Matters podcast on his situation with the Giants.

I have no worry about going on a football field and knowing that I'm not playing for my work or saying if I have to play under it, because that's this is my leverage. My leverage is I can say you to the Giants. I say to my teammates and be like, you want me show you my work? I want to show you how much how valuable I am to the team. I won't show up, I won't play it down. That's the player I can use. Anybody knows me knows that's not something I want to do. But like it's something that has it, something that crossed my mind. It's like I never I never thought I would ever do that, But like now I'm at a point where it's like Jesus, like I might have to take it to this level, and like am I willing? Am I prepared to take it to the level?

I don't know.

Okay, I don't see him holding out. You're gonna lose money if you hold out, because what are the Giants gonna do? What if the Giants did this. Let's let's say Saquon Barkley wants to hold out and the Giants go, Okay, we're gonna bring in Dalvin Cook and we're gonna pay down Salvin Cook seven million dollars a year, three year deal. Throw out the numbers whatever they are, because if I look at the numbers for Dalvin Cook, what he's done over I think what six years he is rushed for fifty six hundred yards, two hundred and eleven catches, He's missed twelve games due to injury. Saquon in five years, forty two hundred yards, two hundred and forty seven catches and he's missed twenty games due to injury. Do I want Saquon over Dalvin Cook? I do. But you're going to force the Giants then to do something, and then you're going to lose money with every game that you hold out, and the Giants are going to franchise tag you probably next year. I understand this. Everybody has got this crusade with running backs. There's nothing you could do. The running backs have to look at the Players' Association and go, did anybody think that you know we were going to be held in a vacuum here with our sound salaries and you know we're in line with punters. No, but you collective, collectively bargained this. This is the players Association, and this is the situation. You have to evolve. I look at the Remember the tight end position was basically you blocked and occasionally you'd catch a passer to the position evolved. The running back position has to evolve to maybe allow you to be compensated for the wear and tear on your body. But you sign up for this. This is the one of the glamour positions. You get to carry the ball, touch the ball more than anybody except for the quarterback. Saquon Barkley. Endorsement deals. You're playing in New York, I mean, cash in on those things. But you're going to get franchised next year. If you're good this year, you'll get franchised next year. I don't. I mean, that's just business. And we would have thought that Saquon Barkley was going to be the running back who with the change the market. But it didn't happen. McCaffrey got paid, Alvin Kamara got paid. If you look now, you want somebody who could be really upset. Derrick Henry. Derrick Henry might be the most underpaid athlete in all of sports. He has made forty two million dollars in his career. Chase Daniel backup quarterback, hasn't played in a meaningful game in his career, has made forty two million dollars.

Woo, how stead of a day, stall of a day, steat of a day, stanata a day.

This is the stat of the.

Day, steat of today. Brought to you by Penny America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Derrick Henry is the Titans. He's been the Titans. He propped Ryan Tannehill's career back up. When you think of one guy and what he means to a team other than Patrick Mahomes, you know, when Derrick Henry was being Derick Henry running for eighteen hundred yards, there was nobody more important to their team because they played defense, They ran the ball, and then Ryan Tannehill would complete a couple of passes. That was their game plan. It might still be their game plan. But Derrick Henry got underpaid, and you would have thought he would have been literally the battering ram who was going to open up the you know, the paychecks here for running backs. And it didn't happen. He didn't threaten to hold out. I don't think it helps Saquon Barkley to hold out or Josh Jacobs. You would like to see them compensated. But I mean, let's say catchers in Major League Baseball. If we looked at them when they go, man, they're underpaid and look at the beating they take. Well, nobody's going to take up the crusade and go catchers need to be paid. Will they take a beating?

Uh?

You know shortstops are making more. Yeah, okay, but we're doing that with the running back position because of nostalgia. Oh Jim Brown, Oh you got Eric Dickerson, O J. Simpson, you know, Barry Sanders, Emmett Smith. Yes, they were all glamour running backs. It was the mare key position. What about linebackers, Oh, Dick Budkers, you got Ray Nichke, you got Ray Lewis, Mike Singletary. What about now nobody's you know, on a crusade for middle linebackers. They had to evolve. So Michael Parsons is not a middle linebacker now, he's a linebacking edge rusher.

Yes, Ryan Tannehill career salary, oh boy, especially if you're just if you're just putting it in content mights, well, oh buddy, that scoff at that.

That's in the sofa cushion.

In the In the year twenty twenty, he made almost he was just shy of Derrick Henry's.

Oh god, that's got to be a career total. You imagine every time he hands the ball to you, you're going chi Chin, Yeah.

Chichan one hundred and sixty nine million.

Okay, all right, yes, Pauli.

Yeah, you mentioned the linebacker position. It is so devalued lately. Remember Roquand Smith, the great linebacker in Chicago. All he did was play well for the Bears his first four years. All he did was me pro balls. I think he was an All Pro his last year. That means he did exactly what he's drafted to do. And they said, we're not paying that, We'll send him over to Baltimore. We got we got good years out of them. Can't do it at that position.

We'll settle on our poll question here. As the retirement tour officially is underway. How long before we get tired of that? Maybe you're already tired of that. And I do apologize that if it sounded like I was making more of the retirement than I was the contract extension is really what that was all about? Patricks retirement statement, No, No, I'm still retiring.

Yeah.

The way that you've done the story now is yesterday you were retiring. Today you resigned. Yes, that's essentially the way that you just did this is that a ploy is that to get a new contract retirement we You essentially said you were going to hold out and then management came.

Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live on the Peacock app time to come up with the pole question for today, at least the first hours. First hour. NFL owners are in Minnesota today to formally vote on and approve Josh Harris and his group as the new owners of the Washington Commanders. The vote should take place this afternoon and then Josh Harris would officially take over for Dan Snyder. Hope the NFL continues to do their investigation and give the results to us. Make sure that they don't stop just because Daniel Snyder is no longer going to be the owner of the Washington Commanders.

I thought you were making a job.

No. I think they do an investigation and let's see what the investigation is. Well, let's see, Seaton. What do you have for me?

Uh?

You know what, Dan, It's not what I have for you, it's what the toad has.

Oh boy, here we go. Passive aggressive Todd.

Passive aggressive pole question. You can only watch one this weekend. Women World Cup the Open Championship, Major League Baseball Action, Old Friends episodes, Old Steinfeld episodes can only watch one all weekend long.

So somebody's making fun of the Women's World Cup the Open Championship in Major League necessarily.

Some people love soccer, some people of.

Baseball, some people of todd Why couldn't you have just put Women's World Cup the open Championship for Major League Bass?

Chausse I thought that there should be some other options just in case you just don't.

That would be soccer golfer.

Based being sarcastic, It would be a little bit.

It feels like there's sarcasm in there.

It doesn't mean to take a shot at any of those things.

What's the other one you have toime?

Should a boxer flashing the crowd in celebration be banned from fighting in the final?

I'd have to give some background for those who are not familiar with the story, and the.

Options are absolutely there's no place for that.

Well, you were gonna give some background.

Oh, there's a woman named Danielle Hemsley won a semi final boxing match and she's supposed to fight in the final, but she's an only fans adult entertainer, and I guess, going along with that, she decided to celebrate winning. She flashed the crowd and showed her chest, and some people were upset with that enough to say she is banned from competing in the final.

Because she did that.

Yes, this is by far the hardest Brits she has ever pitched a story in recent history. And Dan Patrick, he pitched it last night, he pitched it this morning and he's pitching again.

I said, poly like three texts around midnight.

So it's ironic that this is the story to get your interested in action.

But the choices would be absolutely there's no place for that. Definitely not. She should be allowed to fight.

Not only should she be allowed to fight, but they should automatically declare her champion. So I guess I'm kind of pro flashing if you picked the third one.

Okay, how about we accomplish both. Why doesn't only fans have a boxing match that if you want to flash or not have a top on, then you can't.

Because I don't know how many adult entertainers want to a box but nobody happens to be.

But nobody cares about this woman or this boxing.

I disagree.

Is it real boxing? Is it like sanctioned boxing or is this some type of weird league.

Now I think it's sanctioned.

It looks like yeah, look.

Kingpin boxing spelled kngpy n oh boy.

That means I don't know what they Yeah, but I don't think anybody would care about this talk about this. She wanted to get publicity, she got it.

She said she got.

Approval from the promoters or the promotion so she got over excited. So why not is her quote?

Wait, she got approval, she says.

She got approval, but a statement from boxing from Kingpin, as we strive to bring fans the best influencer boxing events possible, we accept that Satelly's post fight incident may have offended some viewers and appreciate that this incident didn't meet the standards expected from Kingpin fight nights.

I like that we have standards in boxing. You know, it's one of the dirtiest sports in history.

That's not the Kingpin boxing I grew up.

No, no, someone had to say it.

Thank you, Pyn.

Anything else that you have for me. Passive aggressive should.

Clean up NIL practices because that's been in the news in Congress and what are they going to do? The NCAAA, federal government, individual schools should deal with it.

No one leave it alone.

Well grown ups who let it get out of the building and now they're asking the government, you know, can Congress help us here? With name image and likeness, good luck, good luck not going to weigh anytime soon, and I'm hoping the federal government has some other things to worry about. But you know, you had professor, you had chancellors and presidents and coaches and athletic directors and nobody, nobody saw this coming. Remember how many of these players are going to get paid well? And nobody's going to pay for you know, defensive linemen or yes, yes, and why wouldn't you Those are you know, the cornerstones of Georgia's football. You know they have great defensive line there, So why wouldn't you know Texas A and M or Alabama go out and get these great defensive linemen. It's not just quarterbacks or wide receivers or running backs. Yes, Paum, I don't see.

How this could be regulated unless there's a regulation of just the paperwork and the taxes and stuff like this. Because of Williams at USC, I don't think you could put a salary cap on how much he gets from marketing money and endorsers, because that would be really unfair to him. Whatever, if blank Plane wants to pay him, they should pay him. Are they going to say that each team's allowed a certain amount of nil endorsements on their roster. I don't know how they would do that either.

Unless you say to the collectives, this is what you have to pay or this is what you have to spend each year, and you decide that that you have, you know, we're going to give make it a salary cap.

Also, each team has a collective that bargains nil deals and they have a some a ceiling and a floor. I guess that makes more sense.

I mean, you got twenty five million dollars to spend, do you want to spend it ten million on your quarterback? Do you want to spread it out? Do you want to get that wide receiver you got somebody in the transfer portal. I'm guessing that that might be Maybe that's a solution. I don't know, but I haven't really focused on that because it was something that nobody was looking at when it first started. And I go, this is you can spread Let's say I'm a billionaire. I got fifty million dollars I'm going to spend on my alma mater. What do I get for fifty million dollars? I get a lot and I can get offensive lineman, I can get running backs, I can get deep, I can get I can get a lot of things for fifty million dollars. Why wouldn't you do that? Let's say, you know if T. Boon Pickens was still alive at Oklahoma State, when you just say here's fifty million, I'm going to give that to you. Use it however you want to, because everything's above board. Now I would if I wanted my alma mater to be in a competition for playoff money, why wouldn't I do that? It's fifty million to a billionaire who cares?

Yes, Marv, Now I'm with you completely.

Yeah, I just think that this is where we are, and there's a whole lot more money out there, a whole lot more money out there. Then you realize, yeah.

Did you see where Dion Sanders posted a video of him with his son in the new Mayback or oh whatever that his son just bought with his nil money. That's like, I think the starting price is like two hundred thousand dollars or something. That gets to be a tricky situation.

If you can get a Maybach at Colorado, what's happening down in the SEC.

But let's get let's say he got a million dollars. Okay, he spend two hundred thousand dollars on a car. He's already got his education paid for that. This is something he gets to drive around for a year.

But see, to me, the problem is that, so did coach make sure that Sun got that money or how does that work out?

Yeah?

Probably?

I mean his dad is putting him in as the starting head coach, as the starting quarterback. Yeah, and now he's also getting at least two hundred thousand dollars in nil money. How does that work in the locker room?

Well, we've seen how Dion works in the locker room, and if you don't like it, there's the door. I don't think anybody's gonna question that Dion. You know, money got filtered to his son.

Yeah, Mark, I'm just ready for Ole miss or Vanderbilt or Mississippi State to make a real push, like, oh, they're in the playoff hunt.

Now, well there's a cup Like Arizona State has signed quite a few five stars and that's where you know you're like, whoa Arizona State. That doesn't mean they're doing anything illegal. I'm just saying they might be spending, deciding to spend and you're gonna go out and get a couple of these marquee players, Yeah, Mark.

And does that put coaches on the hot seat, say like a Jimbo Fisher. They put a lot of money in NIL to get top notch players and if you don't deliver a we got to you know, gotta let you go.

I would think he would be on a warm seat there, but I think he signed a long term contract, what was it a ten year deal? Just they failed miserably after what happened last year at this time when you have him calling out Saban and they had spent a lot of money on their defensive line from what I was told, although he said that they didn't spend money, that he just recruited them. He recruited them, but somebody spent money on him, and that's how it works. Yeah, Paulie.

I do love the names of the collectives. There's a list you can find them out there. These are the They don't there's more than one collective for each team, but like you know, the Texas one fund is Texas the House of Victory. Guess what school they're related to? Usc B for Victory.

Yeah, okay, Fight on.

The Grove Collective is old, the Country Roads Trust seat in West Virginia, the Matador Club at Texas Tech. Okay, so they've all got these very cool, upstanding sounding names.

But I wonder if does the government know how much money is in the collective so you have to make everything.

Yes, according to all things I'm reading, it is a business, a true business. It's it's a funneling of you know, two athletes from corporations capital on the f U in fun but the funneling.

Yeah yeah, I like how you know these college coaches like, can you help us here? Yeah? Yeah, well sure, we'll put it on the docket here. We got other things to worry about here, but we'll get around to that. Oh can you imagine these politicians mispronouncing names they get in front of, you know, the media that that won't go.

The worst part will actually be the They'll all be talking about their alma maters while doing this.

You have a proud bull dog.

I just want to say that's actual audio.

Yeah, roll Todd. But seriously, well, I'll bet.

You the different congressman centers if this gets to the have to be really cautious which side they come down on, depending you know, if you're from Arkansas. If you're from South Carolina and you go the wrong way on a on the ni L, that may not play well with the home fans. That's I mean, that's very very obvious, but I could see them thinking that.

Yeah, I'm guessing there's gonna be a very brief conversation before any public. Coach, what do you want me to do here against the players? No problem?

Yeah, these these players are getting paid too much? Coach?

Would he say, we pro player in this one?

Jumbo fishy, Nick Saban, We're on to you.

I just want to say, Nick Saban, No, it's it's it's Saban. It's saving. That's great.

Imagine him trying to pronounce some of the players names.

No, no, no, it's Ray Kwan, idiot. Yeah that. Hopefully they don't go down that road.

Uh.

Nick Saban did talk about his quarterback and Cake comparison between a good quarterback and a good cake.

We have three guys that are competing for that position right now. All those players are getting better, and it's important for us that all those players get better. I don't think anybody has actually separated themselves yet to this point, and I don't think it's something that we're trying to rush. I used the analogy earlier. You know, Grandma Saban used to bake the best cakes in the world. And I used to stand by the oven when I was a kid and say, when's this cake going to be done? When's this cake going to be done? And she said, if I don't let it go through and take it out of the oven too soon, it's going to turn to much, so it won't be a really good cake. So I think we got to let this sort of develop and make sure we let the cake bake until somebody separates themselves.

That's Nick Saban and of course, being the great journalists that were there at SEC Media Day, they followed up with this favorite cake.

I want to know your favorite cake since you mentioned that.

Yeah, well carrot cake.

That's easy, okay, carrot cake. It's a victory cake.

Polarizing answer though, polarizing carrot cake. That's when you're either all in or all out. No one's casual about carrot cake.

I'm gonna go sea plus on the analogy.

Though.

For Coach, he's he's a he's a wordsmith, he's a good he's usually good at the podium. But you're gonna give him a generous c plus on that analogy.

I disagree with seat and seat, and I did not know what he meant about being patient at the quarterback position until he told me about his grandma's cooking, and he really illuminated it for me.

I get it.

I get Oh, wait a minute, he was talking about his quarterbacks. He has to let them go.

Yeah, they have to stay in the oven a little bit longer because you don't want them to be mush.

Yes time, I was fully baked in college.

Actually, but if you're two patient and wait too long, you lose a couple of game seasons over you're out of the college football playoffs.

So that's not quite the same as being in grandma's kitchen.

Well, if the cake gets burnt. Yeah, By the way, i have over unders for Alabama this year, but I'm going to wait until after the break. It might surprise you. I have an over under victories for Alabama this year over under USC this year. We'll take a break. Play of the Day is up next. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

Pat in Ohio joins us leading off the show. Hi, Pat, what's on your mind today?

Good?

Good morning. I just wanted to add a few things that I wasn't able to get in before. But I think you should start your tour and or at least end your tour back where it all began, either at Dayton or down there around Cincinnati, because I'm sure that you have folks that have been following you forever and they'd love to see you back. And what came to my mind was that little bar you and your dad used to go to because I had a similar experience with my dad, and I think that would be a wonderful location.

Well, thank you, Pat the pleasure in. But then my dad also had the American He had a couple of them had the American legion and had the pleasure in. Got to sit at the bar back then. Yeah, got to get up on that chair, got a Fanta Orange, Dad got a beer and a.

Hook Hey, frown up that now, kids.

Yeah, yeah, took away all the fun. Let's see Craig and Louisville. Hey, Craig, what's on your mind?

Hi Dan, thanks for taking my call. Sure, since you know everyone's talking about locations of where you can do a show and you know, taking road trips, I'd like you to consider my little hometown in Nicetown, Indiana. The only thing my little hometown has gone for it is the Elementary Gymnasium. It's where Hoosiers was filmed and it looks exactly the same as it did during the filming.

Well, thank you, Craig, Paul, he's been there. But you know, we're taking all of these under advisement. Seaton is writing them down and you know, if we do a retirement tour and we'll have some stomps along the way. Yeah.

See.

Speaking of the retirement tour, we got a tweet here from Patrick. Hi, guys listening since the attic with the retirement tour unofficially beginning, can I ask you for your exposed pennants signed by all of you guys. Thanks, gonna miss you guys. Patrick in Montreal. Is there going to be a four year run on people? Yeah, they are the exposed pennants right over there.

No, I'm not handing out this, so I'm keeping all of this.

People want to know what's going to happen to this place and nothing.

It's gonna be this. It's gonna be a museum and nobody's going to be allowed in. It's just me. I'm going to come in and I'm gonna do like mock radio shows, and I'll just sit here.

And walk around rearranging things, yes, as they slowly collect with dust.

Yeah, I'm just gonna sit in here and fire up a microphone that nobody will hear.

Talk trash to people.

Yeah, by yourself. Yeah, take that, Draymond Green.

Yes, Tom, you have to pay monthly rent for the museum starting twenty twenty eight.

Every month you have to pay just to keep this, Yes, yes, I do. Yeah, but their memories and they're meant to be chairs and those are invaluable. Yes they are. You can't put a price tag on a memory.

Yes, Mark, would you do like a special core spot and stuff on different events.

Like I'd be here in the man Cave and then they.

Save Brian Gumble Real Sports? Hey Dan, can you do a story on you know whatever? Would you come back and just do that? You know, two three week story? Oh you're done done? Yeah, you'll be up in Maine.

I don't know where I'll be. I could be in Montana, I could be Costa Rica with Giselle. I mean, there's a lot of options out there. Golden Bachelor, Golden Bachelor. Yeah. My wife goes, what is the Golden Bachelor? And you're not a bachelor? I go, I know, if it's just a line, hun, I just threw it out there. She goes, yeah, no, but people think that you're single. I go, no, they don't think I'm single. All the single ladies do.

Yes, what if you did like a fantasy camp here, you know, just keep everything here and you have kids who want to get into the radio business. They come here, they do a day, they bring their parents. They could stay in the back the RV and generate some rep Okay, you know, they could take pictures. It's like a like a fantasy camp.

All right, that's that's a good idea.

Let's work for you more income.

Yeah, we like that, mister Patrick.

Do you need to have all that stuff scattered all over your desk to be a good broadcasting.

Get booted from the camp?

How did that sound?

Time?

Mister mister Patrick, you need to be a hoarder to be a.

Cross in Rhode Island? Joins ushi, Chris, what's on your mind? Hey?

Dan?

Congratulations?

Well thank you Chris.

Well you signed your extension into retirement. Yes, I did, you did, and I think everybody is overlooking the positive side of it, including you. You know, it overshadows your career if you're focusing on a retirement tour. It's a long way from Ball State. And I did not see any press where hess saying that you make more than Saquon Barkley. Did you ever think back at ball State when you were hoping you would make more than a running back in a professional football league.

Well, I didn't go to Ball State, now, I went to Dayton.

I thought the retirement tour was going to Indiana.

Well, I still didn't go to.

No more than any of us are paler.

Yeah, Chris, I didn't go to ball State.

Why would we go, no offense to Indiana.

Why would we go to ball State where it all began?

And why do you keep ripping Ball State?

Dwn?

I know so?

How much did you score again?

Yeah? Dan Dockage went to Indiana. David Letterman went to Ball State. I went to Dayton. Any who hour two on the way. Dan Patrick shump
