The following content does not reflect the opinions of Fox Sports Radio. Frankly, that should be perfectly clear. You Dimwitz, all.

Right, all right, you go your life from filling. It's the number one rating bullying Tony full show always, Polly first, go here with Tony first, going Tony, Yeah, huge show today.

Oh my god.

Last week we had so called funny Fox Sports Radio hosts Covino and Rich on the show. You see their numbers though, now going through the roof. Yeah, you're welcome, so cost Naturally, the suits at Fox Sports Radio that come and they begged us to have another of the you know, less talented hosts on this show, you know, compared to us, so they can use our ratings to boost his Yeah, dedic. You know some people that call this guy a legend in the business. If so, what is that make us?

Don't try zeus on Mount Olympics.

There you go there, Yeah, Anyway, he's a former ESPN Sports Center host and the current host of the Dan Patrick Show Dan Patrick. And you know what I want to ask him, Tony, what's that He's doing something stupid? You know, I want to know why he's letting his producers talk through every show. Yeah, exactly, we never make that mistake on this show. No, yep, exactly, Tony. That couldn't have said it better any Thank you. You know, we got a lot to get to on this show. But first it's time for a word from our good friends at ACE Hardware. Yeah, do you have trouble fixing things around the house because you know you're not a real man? Well, then go to ACE, right, Tony.

Yeah, exactly. You know.

In fact, my aunt Marie's boyfriend Nunzio told me that he was gonna do some drilling at his house and I said, oh where And he said between your aunt's legs.

And then I said, what can you stick to the coffee? What can you stick to? Shut up? Yeah, you just cost us millions.

Bro going anyway, just go to as dot com now into the promo code fusco. They get one hundred dollars off your next purchase off or expires June twelfth, twenty twenty four. Yeah, you know it's also about to expire. Is our producer's life after this show?

Anyway?

Enough, we got to check in the mail because he you broke exactly.

Anyway, Time to get into a top story. The story Okay, our top story. You know, we said we were done last week. He'll comment things, Yeah, women's basketball nonsense, but this is technically Olympic coverage. True, makes it kind of boring, but not as boring less boring anyway, Kaitlyn Clark left off the USA national women's team, Tony, And you know, this has a lot of people in our business that yapping on about it, you know, mostly because the NBA Finals sucked it.

Yeah, nobody horrible, I'm talking about that.

But anyway, you know boomersias and you know he came out and raised with the move to keep Caitlyn off the dam. And you know, Tony, I think this is a voice that we should be listening Tory.

Now, Boomer Assiasin is the go to expert in this situation. He knows exactly what it's like to be the thirteenth or fourteenth best at something. In the nineteen eighties, he was a top thirteen QB. He was right there between Bernie Kozaw and Jim Everett. And now he's a top thirteen sports talk show host. So you know, if anyone knows what it takes to be good but not that good, it's Boomer is siasin Yep.

Just couldn't agree more that, Tony, and that you know, there are a lot of people they're saying, Datelin Clark's just taking the spot that went to Britney Grinder.

Oh kidd for Tony.

You and I both know what's the one thing that matters most when you're playing on the world.

Stage, International experience?

Yeah, exactly.

You know, Brittany grind has faced so much international competition, you know, Russian mobs, common unionist prison cells.

KG Bay.

Tony, she's taking on exactly KGB. You know, if she can face that, then surely she can be you know, the Yugoslavia basketball team.

Absolutely, Tony. And you know what I'm about to say next.

You know, I hate to say it, but it must be set right, Tony. You know we've seen this before at the Olympics, haven't we. You know, dire teams getting kidnapped and held captive by terrorist organizations and well, you know you remember that movie from a few years ago.

Of course, Munnage, Yeah, Munnache.

Well, yeah, you know what happens if the US team gets kidnapped like that. You'll think Kaitlyn Clark is gonna handle that, No chance Bro.

You know another wrangle that I keep hearing there just crazy talk.

Why now people they're saying Kaitlyn Clark should make the team because in ninety two Christian Layton and made the dream even though he.

Was in college.

But again, you know there's just typical media people not doing the research, right Tony, Yeah, always, you know, we all know why Christian Layton had made the team.

Of course, it was May nineteen ninety two and the guy from Team USA was telling coach Chuck Daily that he needed to pick one more player to put on the team, and he said, look, there's just a bunch of the options here.

Can we just pick later?

And the guy misunderstood and thought he said late exactly.

See that just explains the whole thing, right.

Yeah, This is the problem with the modern media is they don't have any knowledge, you know.

And that's the problem is all they do is they just bitch, and most exactly they don't.

They don't give you solutions. We no solutions, you know.

And that's something i've heard no media persons side just because Caitlin Clark didn't make the basketball thing, well that doesn't mean she still can't make the Olympics.

You know what if she plays you know, I'm.

Water powler, exactly, all net put the ball in the net, same thing.

Yeah, exactly. Or maybe she learns how to ride a horse or something. You know, how hard could that be? The horse does all the work anyway.

You know, another idea, what about diving? Brilliant?

You know she already knows how to swish a ball into the net. Well, kind of the same thing. You just you swish yourself into.

A pool, you know, exactly. And you know, I just looked this up. There's a sport called shooting. Well, she's a great shooter.

He's a great shooter. There you go.

I mean, if you're gonna say you're an all time shooter, well you shouldn't be able to handle all types of shooting.

Yeah, exactly. We just came up with four great ideas right there. I can't even pick which one is the best.

Why don't we go ahead and put out the FUSCO ball question of the day, You go, great, hold on this, here we go, Witch Olympic sport. Should Caitlin Clark try out for a water polo b what's the name of that event, Tony, I don't know.

I don't even know.

I'll just call it horse see diving or d shooting actual shooting. Yeah, to be clear, anyway, go to our Twitter account and vote.

Yeah. All right?

Well, hey, well you know we got to talk about this, don't it. You're gone head coach Dan Hurley. Yeah, turning down the Lakers job in seven year mili And you know, this is just a real sad state of affairs.

Totally bro because you know, they used to.

Be the team that any coach or player would just pour themselves out for, right, don'ty.

This is what made the Lakers and Yankees great. Who is like Shaq and a Rod were willing to hoo themselves out for a trophy.

And just to be clear, I'm using the word whore to describe men, not women.

You know, I got a lot of blowback last week again when I said that golfer Anika Sorenstamp was a whore for trophies. Again, I meant that in a total positive way. But of course people took it the wrong way. Yeah, they took it the wrong way.

That's on them.

Yeah.

You know, now people that finally realizing because of this Hurley situation, that the Lakers are just a total dumpster fire and well, you know, of course, is why Dony I have no respect for Lebron James zero. No as a parent, he wants to bring his son into this dysfunctional environment. I mean, this is borderline child abules, right. Isn't it his job to you know, protect his kids.

You know, you really got to question Lebron's parenting.

If Bronni goes to the Lakers and struggles, which he will because he sucks at basketball, it's gonna be terrible for him. That's why I call upon the NBA to intervene here and make sure Bronni gets adopted by a better parent and gets put on a better team.

You know, not the Sixes because he sucks at basketball, but.

You know somewhere like the Raptors or Wizards where he can suck in peace.

Great point that Dony just does so well said, than Yank you one more thing we got to bring up there. You know, it was so ridiculous the baseball this week, Tony. You know they're having the Phillies forced to go play baseball in London. That's just so unfair. I don't understand League Baseball. You're trying to shorten games. Shouldn't you be shortened than the flights exactly when you think about it, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

You do realize a flight from Philly to London, it's just an hour longer than a flight to Seattle.

Oh yeah, well you know what flight is going to be long when I throw you off my balcony.

Now stop interrupting.

Yeah, you know what I wish I could interrupt the moment your dad sperm went into your.

Mom Now shut out. Either way, you know you forgot.

You forgot last week to remind us to tell everyone who won the common g Yeah from Jeyson. Know you do busy calculating plane flights. Anyway, He got to this guy here, what's his name?

I don't know it?

Oh Gabriel f Yeah, sent us a picture that Tony looking good.

What a good looking shirt? Yeah, bro.

Four shirt in our merch store. Yeah, get free shipping June twelfth to June sixty.

Wow, what a deal?

Oh what I see our phone lighting up here? We go doning gonna get our guests coming on the line. So let's bring him on the full SCO satellite network.

Satellite work.

Okay, this guy you know, kind of known in the business. Okay, you know, some people, I guess they say he's one of the best to ever do it. You know, after they're done talking about us for like two or three minutes. You know, longtime ESPN personality. And you know, for those who don't know, he's the host of the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. You were giving him that promotion. Help him get some viewers and listeners. Yeah, help in the colleague. All right, anyway, Dan Patrick, welcome to the show.

Thank you. It's an honor to be here.

Well, I'm not so sure about that, based on you know, I got a little bone to pick with you. You told a producer, Your producer told us you'd only do this for ten minutes. Then you got a heart out. Just want to tell you here's some free advice that is incredibly rude and a terrible way to ingratiate yourself with people in this business.

I don't think I said ten minutes, but if if that's what you were told, then I apologized greatly. I'm going to do nine minutes, not ten minutes.

Oh yeah, you'll be lucky.

It just went down to eight minutes. It's down to eight minutes. Down clock is sticking.

You're lucky.

If it's three more seconds anyway, Well, you know we've been colleagues in this business. You know, longest tenured colleagues in this business. That's a little longer than you are. But you know, I say this respectfully, Dan, you seem a little out of touch with the current sports talk. You know, you don't do hot takes. You're also very kind of measured when you speak. You know, no yelling, no getting a claim it an you know, you're respectful of your guests, no arguing. I asked this very respectfully, Dan, Why should anyone watch your show?

I have no idea. I've said that for years. I don't fit into the hot take category what you're supposed to do today. But I know I started this way, all go out this way. I try to have an informed opinion. It doesn't sound as great rolling off the tongue there hot take or I have an you know, an informed opinion. So nobody's tuning in perhaps to hear an informed opinion. They want somebody to say something right in the moment, And uh.

Yeah, it doesn't come naturally to you like it does to us.

No prep. We just sit down, we do it. We just sit down and go Bro yeah.

Well, there's times when I say I don't have an opinion on this, and in the in our business, you got to have an opinion. But I always say, you know that can come back and haunt you a little bit.

Yeah, I'm surprised your show is not on c SPAN or PBS. That seems to be the right target audience.

I need to older people a little slow, can't get up and change the channel.

Exactly, probably half dead already, you know, you'll lull them to death, that's what.

Yeah, you know. Let me ask you this.

I saw you outed this Dan Patrick school a while back, Dan Patrick's School of Broadcasting at full sale, and I asked this, respectfully, what could you'll be teaching kids about sports talk?

I would encourage you to to enroll, because might be able to help you guys a little bit there.

Now we would teach at the school, of course, you would teach. We would be enrolling in our grave that type of there you go.

The teacher would bring you up to say, Okay, don't do it this way. Do it the professional way. Yeah, do it the professional way. No, we're just teaching students to do like sort of the uh. I don't know fundamentals that.

What's a fundamental ruling your audience to sleep? What is it having no opinion?

Yeah?

I agree, you tell you that's so much opinion. Have more facts make it more tedious for the audience.

To them that you got to be informed and have sources and be able to write and do things that I think aren't stressed as much as they're supposed to be anymore.

And yeah, you're basically wasting that time. How do you expect them to do make a living in this business? What do you want them to write a too? Spit two weeks on some journalism piece? What is this nineteen twenty seven?

Exactly? You got to improvise, be like, yo, you know what I heard? Yeah, exactly, I heard something that's all.

Yeah, That's all you gotta do is like even you know it can be my mail man. He'll go, you know I'm hearing and he's telling me about a sports story, and I go, who are you hearing it from?

Like he's got.

Such a sign that your mailman is faster than you. Yeah, I want to hear what he has to shay, does he have a show?

What I can get you his number? You can have him on that's terrific. You could stop.

Let's critique, Let's keep the focus on you. I noticed, you know you let your producers talk on your show all the time. Our producer, this moron here, you see, we don't let him talk a breathe.

Why you never ruffed him up? Why do you rough him up?

Why? Yeah? Nobody tunes in to see him exactly? You know?

Have you ever when your producers talk, do you like threaten them after the show?

You know?

Is that what?

Hey, hey, I'm going to kill you blow up if you talk again. I'm gonna like your apartment on fire.

No, I encourage them to talk. I wanted. It's like you have a studio audience, but it's people who work for you. They give you opinions. They might counteract what you're saying. They might have a different opinion.

You paying you for the air time? Like, hey, how does that work? You pay them? They pay you what.

I pay them? I pay them?

No wonder, no wonder the novel. If I'm at the Dan Backward School of Broadcasting, I'm dropping out tomorrow.

This is what what's your background in broadcasting? Not not the background you have in your studio?

Oh you want to talk background. Look at your background. You've got so many chots keys on your desk. I can barely see you. I thought I was talking to a bobblehead for the first five minutes of this.

Did you go to like, like the Howard Eskins School of sportscasting?

Did you please do not name them in the same.

Yeah, with your back there, Yeah, in your backyard right now.

You know, I prefer the bobblehead on your desk because it's actually silent. All right, listen, let's talk some sports or what is kind of called sports. You know people that saying Caitlin Clock, the saying Kaitlin Clock is great for basketball, great for sports? Isn't it terrible for sports? Because all anyone wants to talk about now is women's basketball horrible?

Uh?

I think she's great for basketball. She's fun, she's different. And to be able to see a female version of Steph Curry, I mean, you guys probably.

Aren't Curry was female, but okay, sorry, keep going.

You guys aren't used to seeing good basketball. So let me in six shot there too? Yeah? Is in be there in two years? Like eventually does he say, uh, you know what here, we're in.

Touch with his doctors. They're going to fuse his body back together.

Touch. Yeah, he's go in the frame. That's where they have the medicine.

Simmons back, I'd get the whole bad been great, Jimmy Butler back, bring them all back.

Well, we'll bring him back as soon as you bring Keith Oberman back. That's that's soiled.

By the way.

On that note, you did work with Keith Oberman for a long time at ESPN.

How much how far did that set back your career?

He is the best sports center anchor I ever worked with.

And that's why you're great? Why you lasted so long at ESPN? You know how to toeing the line opinion?

All right?

Why why?

He just he's the best that I ever worked with. He was quick, he was knowledgeable, great writer, Uh, funny, opinionated and uh.

All words to describe us.

Okay, he had it down he uh he I get Berman credit because without Chris there's no ESPN. Chris and Bobbley and Tommy's Keith Sports Center. Everybody else kind of has fallen in line with or tried to emulate that kind of style.

Totally disagree. Larry Beale mastered sports.

Well Alohaoha.

Means goodbye. Yeah see, and that's it. Just keep that in mind for you next time.

That he I'm saying, aloha means goodbye, thanks for having me on the show.

Now that we decide. When you decide, you think he's on his own show.

You know, I like you. I gotta start drinking, all right, hell I here we go. I got to numb myself here.

Now you know how your audience feels.

Okay, well, prefers something that you know, you lazy people in the media have never said. All right, So everyone's upset that Caton Clark's not on the Olympic team.

Upset that she's on the not on the Olympic team.

Oh oh you're not.

No, maybe if you did some research, what what.

You can watch your show? No wast doing that?

Yeah, no, I you if you listen to what I said, she's not one of the twelve best players. Therefore, there's twelve roster spots. If she's not one of the twelve, let me help you with math here, Oh, she's not one of twelve. There's only twelve roster spots. She is not one of the twelve best players. Therefore she shouldn't be on the Olympic team.

Hold on, yeah, you're not thinking Dan, Yeah, she could still be on another Olympic team. What about water polo exactly? What about water polo?

Ball net?

You put the ball in the net. Or she learns to ride a horse whatever the horse sport is maybe a quest in Yeah, that's whatever they call it. Yeah, you know she probably could master that over the weekend.

Isn't shooting an Olympic sport? And she's a great shop shooter?

Uh?

Yeah, do you know what that sport is called? Yeah, shooting shooting?

Okay, yeah, that's the I'm gonna practice that sport outside your house tonight.

That this doesn't end up on my Wikipedia. Pah that I went on.

You know what, you know what be on your Wikipedia page? Guess what you stole from us? You've never admitted it. You are the ones who came up with pole question of it with us. We did it first whole question of the day.

Here. Look, here's our latest poll question. Put that one up.

How much longer do you think people will care about women's basketball A two days, B five days or SEA two weeks?

I think they'll be along for the ride for a little while longer with Caitlyn Clark. I mean, let's face it, she's the one that's bringing all the eyeballs to the WNBA. Nothing else has changed. Angel Reaves can take some credit. She's taken way more credit than she should. Caitlyn Clark, you're hurting our ratings. We don't want to be talking about this. We's asked you when it was going to stop. Yeah, we were hoping two minutes ago. I got one more pole question for you here. Let's try this one. Who do you hate working most with that ESPN A Keith Olberman, B Craig Kilbourne or see Keith Olberman. Are you reading that?

You're reading that question now?

You couldn't remember that question?

Oh, guess what, I remember what I'm raiding. Guess what? Guess who's a pole I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take a poll and shove it up to he does off the show, don't shop.

Down to us, say I don't know, Matt. Here's man, this show minus you equals better show. Oh look he walked away, Tony, he walked away.

Good.

Oh, Rookie walked in front of his camera. I'm professional. I'm professional. You never walk in front of the camera. I'm going back up around if you're off the line, Jay, hang up.

You know that's the last time we do a favor for the suits at Fox Sports Radio last night.

They should call him down Patrick because he's such a downer.

They're a great one, Tony, and let's not let him ruin, which was a terrific show. Now we want to thank our good friends at ACE Hardware.

Yeah, thank you. On the subject of tools, yea, who it is produced? Jay?

What do you want corrections?

Hurry up?

You mentioned that the women's basketball team will play Yugoslavia at the Olympics.

Yeah, Bro, I want to crush him.

Bro, it probably won't happen since Yugoslavia stopped being a country in nineteen ninety two.

Oh yeah, Well I didn't mean Yugoslavia. I meant you go die.

Yeah, and you know what also stopped in nineteen ninety two, Yo, going through pilbody.

Oh, let's get out of it. He went done.

Why you said Christian Layner got picked for the ninety two Dream Team because Chuck Daly said I'll pick later and they thought he said Laterner.

Yeah, Bro, the true story, Bro, No, that's not a true story.

One spot on the team was reserved for a college player, and Latner's coach, Mike Rzewski was Chuck Daily's assistant.

Oh yeah, well I need an assistant when I chuck you off my balcony.

Yeah, I'm gonna take a big chefsky on your face. There, let's get finish.

How are you start of the show, you referred to the Greek god Zeus on Mount Olympics.

Yeah, bro, yeah, that's where he lives.

Bro.

In Greek mythology, Zeus lives on Mount Olympus, not Olympics.

Oh yeah, well you know who is an Olympus?

You?

Yeah, and based on your sex life, they should call you Mount No girl ever.
