Hour 2 – Corn Dogs Divide Us, Clark Kellogg

You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.

It's our two on.

This meet Friday, Dan and the Dan Antce Dan Patrick Show, The King of Comedy, Todd Fritz in the back row seat and O'Connor, Marv, Paulie yours truly in the back room.

Guys.

It's a meat Friday. It's National Something on a Stick Day. That's the official title. It's National Something on a Stick Day. Teriaki, beef skewers, barbecue, chicken kebobs and corn dogs.

Who I said better.

Than we do nobody. I went out and inspected these skewers. Actually they're spilling all over the kitchen floor. Paulie was out there trying to mop it up a little bit.

There had a couple of bites, a little bit, just a snack.

Uh.

Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. The Blockbuster Oscar winning movie Wicket is now streaming only on Peacock. Got a garage sale Spring clearance sale at Dan Patrick. Do we say good morning If you're watching on Peacock, thank

Now to be fair.

Two tournament wins in his first year at Arkansas nothing to sneeze at, but for a coach with his pedigree, the expectations are high and he's taking over. Eric Musselman is a very good coach who had March success there. But you know, maybe he's building something. I don't know how long he wants to coach, but I think that they were a pleasant surprise. They started out zero and five, but then you have a sixteen point lead in the second half. Give credit to Texas Tech, but he still

Well, we got a pull question along those lines, But first let me get to the more important topic.

Corn dogs are awesome or terrible? Okay?

Right now, seventy four percent of the people are saying awesome, all right, and someone actually said too, anyone who.

Voted terrible is terrible. Okay, Okay. I can't really argue with that. You like what you like, you know, and I don't think there's middle ground on a corn dog. Either like it or you don't, that's all.

But I think I only have it when I go to a festival or a state fair or something like that. I don't think I've had a corn dog. This might be my first corn dog that is not in, you know, in that genre.

I think the back room guys here are big corn dog enthusiasts. I think I think there's a corn dog semi regularly. Oh, I think, okay, I think we also have what's worse to lose a five point lead with twelve seconds left or a sixteen point lead with eleven minutes left. Right now, eighty percent of the audience are voting with five point leads or twelve seconds left.

Okay, that's a regular season game. The Arkansas loss obviously postseasons. Oh, that one's worse. Yeah, that one's worse. Wait, wait, you guys.

That was a group reaction.

Okay, all right, twelve seconds things, crazy things happen twelve seconds.

So just inbound the ball and that's all right here, that's all you have to do.

Here's Lebron James on the mistakes that cost the Lakers last night.

Gave up a lot of threes in the fourth quarter. Must still put our seven position to win. Horrible turnover by myself, bad mis miscommunication played before that, and me ar still hit a big bucket. Try to save us and then tip you had someone makes a game winner from a half.

Court That is terrible. I mean, that can't happen, You're Lebron James. That doesn't happen. That can't happen. All right, miscommunication, bad inbounds pass, somebody forgot to pick up the guy shooting the three, knowing that they needed to shoot a three, they just let Josh Getty get a clean shot off at half court. By the way, this is how it sounded last night.

Three point three left, what's seventeen?

What sixty akers?

William Sageti over the midpoint like.

And it goes big click. Hold, HiT's gone.

HiT's gone, Hicks gone.

Goos goes not goose not Josh Steady cut the turn, cut the bus lego.

What the poligame?

Unbelievable.

Yeah, that's the madness in March madness.

It hasn't been the NCAA Tournament, although Texas Tech winning in overtime and uh, you know a clutch basket there in the in the closing seconds. But you got four games coming up tonight, and for entertainment purposes, you have Michigan State three and a half point favored over Old Miss Tennessee favored by four and a half against Kentucky, Auburn favored by eight and a half against Michigan, and

Hey I guys, the're have you meet Friday?

Thank you bu I want to make a quarter.

Bike a comment about cor dogs. I think it's Ross Tucker awesome, especially State Fair. You can have a beer in one hand corn dog and the other I got a Cooper flag. Top presses me most about him as his defense. I mean, he's guys all over the floor, his length to shoot the three. I'm want to go Andre Keralinko that one.

That's a good dat, all right.

Andre Carolinko ak forty seven? He was He was a really really good defender. I don't see flag that kind of defender, although I think he had three blocks last night. But Andre Carolinko would be up for defensive Player of the Year. He was really good, played most of his career in Utah. But didn't he get a Hall pass.

From his wife? A yearly Hall pass?

So I think he I think, yeah, I think he got more notoriety for that than he did his play on the basketball court. I think his wife gave him a Hall pass every year. Look that up, Paulie, Well, my computer will be okay, yeah, checking, yeah, Marvin, do you remember that Andre Carolinko hall pass?

Kind of but I didn't know whether it was true or not. I thought it was just hearsay.

I think he talked about it.

She said, Okay, so every year in Orlando.

In Miami, Yeah, not Orlando, Miami, all right, yeah, Atlanta, yeah, okay, yes, Paul, Yeah.

This is a story from almost fifteen years ago. Jazz Ford Andre Carolinko told ESPN the magazine that his wife has given him a one year hall pass. She's aware of the situations in being on the road. She understands, and she wants to be forthcoming, wants them to be forthcoming with each other, and so it's a one time per year Haulpank. Okay, how do you think that worked with the Carolinko family. Was there a text going on? Was there an announcement?

I don't know if you have to say anything at some well you have to register that one what she's given you the hall pass? Does she need to know when you use the hall pass? Do you want to know when he's using the hall pass? Yes, Paul, Like, is it an actual hall pass? Like he's going to wherever Detroit for the weekend. Here's your here's your hall pass, bring it back when way Wait Detroit, I'm going to

Man. What about if he had a doubleheader with the Lakers and the Clippers?

No, no, no, just one.

You gotta choose, you know, it's not one stop you know where you're in LA for the Clippers and Lakers.

Okay? Any who? Any who? Any who?

Yeah, Cooper flag comp andre Carolinko, You're not even old enough to get that past stamped.

By the way, like you come home.

It's like a bus pass or something that's like stamped and like, oh okay, interesting, validate.

It's like a parking ticket. Three stamps. Really okay, all right, okay, your whole passport. See what I did with that fansport?

Yes, Paul I found the original article. Masha Lapatova told the Salt Lake Tribune and six the whole story. She said, it's just like raising children. No pizza, no pizza, no pizza Saturday, you could have pizza. It's a little different. Yeah, but it's a confirmed story.

I don't you know. It's not one of those.

And sometimes guys will do this, they'll bring up a story just to see how their wife reacts, Like, isn't it crazy. This guy's wife said he could have a whole pass when he traveled on the road. And then you want to gauge what your wife's gonna say. If she says, oh, that is terrible.

I test those words all the time, A lot of lonely nights in the guest room.

Nathan in Austin, Hi, Nathan, Hey.

Y'all, how's it going?

First time?

Long time?

Five eight hefty three bills?

I was gonna say, you'll need to come down to the Texas State are sometime not on a stick, but we have fried Coca Cola Let's fair as well, which is pretty crazy. The reason I'm coming actually is I'm getting married this weekend and I haven't listened to EL since I as a kid. I'm not trying to get too serious, but I love hearing about y'all being gray husbands and dad. Do you have any solicited advice for me this weekend? Not unflicited, look at it?

Okay, the wedding is this weekend. The first thing I would say is make sure your best man doesn't get drunk and go off the rails with his speech. That's really really important. Make sure that you tell the mother of the bride, how beautiful she looks. Make sure you thank everybody for all the hard work that they did, because the wedding is really about the mother in law as much as it is your wife. Make sure you tell your wife she looks beautiful and it's her night.

Appreciate that.

Are you nervous.

A little bit?

The mother in law thing you said is probably the most nervous thing.

I end that we've been.

Dealing with some curveballs on that front, but.

We're getting that.

We don't need to mention anybody's names here, but curveball's a little tension.

Yeah, it's a mother in law.

Okay, Uh, well, good luck, good luck, Nathan. Let us know how it goes, you know, call us back. I have to maybe next week.

Yes, it's that whole Uh you're not marrying a person, You're marrying a family thing. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I think about that.

They're always going to be there holidays, birthdays, graduations.

Those people you see this weekend, they're always going.

To be there.

Yes, make sure you want to hang out with them for the rest of your life. Exactly. Yeah, you know, yeah, I didn't think that all the way through. It's like, make sure they're going to want to hang out with you. That is true, That is true. Yeah. AnyWho, Yeah, that's that's tough.

When you really have to acknowledge the mother in law you do, it can be tricky, but uh, I mean this is just the start of navigating tricky moments.

Here.

Wait, when you're arguing with your mother in law and your wife just gave birth to a ten pound baby and she's still in the hospital, and your mother in law is complaining about the child's name, Now that's a hypothetical.

You know, some guy I'm asking for a friend.

That mother in law was like not going to call my I mean, this child by his name because she said Jack is a grown up's name and I will not call him. That calls my wife in the hospital and then she says, put down on the phone. Yes, wait, will you stop this?

Okay, just just humor her, okay for me please, Okay, we survived. You know you survived, Todd.

Is that a common thing you think that in law would be like, I'm not gonna call whatever I don't like that name.

No, that's not normal.

No, it seems like a loaded situation.

Yea, my wife, my mom never said anything about the names that all my brothers have for their sisters have for their kids.

Never said a word, never said m you know, I knew something.

My mother in law would say, I knew somebody and she had a mole on their upper lip. Oh, I know somebody who got hit by the subway who had that. And we're like, no matter what name we came up with, she had a terrible story to tell you down.

Yes, my mom was so paranoid about being the bad mother in law that she actually never says anything about anything.

She doesn't say if.

Whether she agrees this, she's like, okay, well you know you too, YouTube marched to the beat of your own drum. I get things like that. You know where she's she just she does not want to get in the way of anything. She's very like kid gloved.

Okay, you guys do what you do. I do, it's your family, you do.

I like that.

Yeah, I like that.

More phone calls coming up.

Spent a lot of time first hour, we talked about Duke Cooper Flag, Alabama, that shot selection, and Texas Tech Arkansas. You got the games coming up tonight. Clark Kellogg is there to observe and then tell us what he observed. He's CBS Sports college basketball analyst and the former first round pick by the Pacers.

Special k Good to talk to you again. Where do you want to start?

What's the game that we should be talking about the result today?

Well, it's be hard to not to talk about the Alabama game if you're looking at what they did last night as far as a record setting performance from behind the three point line. Remarkable and Duke again, Cooper flag has been had as advertised all season long. He's a remarkable two way player and what he does at both ends of the floor with a moxie and a maturity and a joy that it's hard to compare to for a first year guy in recent memory.

But we love these player comps. So I don't know if you delve into this, but if you were going to do a player comp for Cooper Flag, eighteen year old Cooper Flag, who would your player comp be?

Man, I don't know if I have one, Dan. I try to avoid that just because it's pressurizing and not always fair to either party. So I'll reserve judgment on that one because I really don't have anybody in mind.

What about style though, the style of play, that's a great question.

I would need to give it some more thought. I love his athleticism, his tenacity, and I mentioned this joy and exuberance that he plays with that's special. I mean you can tell that he loves to play, he loves being on the floor, he loves being part of a team, and he's growing into allowing his talent to give him the permission to stand up and stand out. And that's a process.

I'm just worry because we like to go from zero to sixty. So Cooper Flag is the next Larry Bird. Well he's not that's not fair. I said, if he has the career that Kevin Love has had, that would be a good career. But he reminds me a little bit of Kevin Durant. I think that he can get that mid range like he likes contact variety, shot inside outside, and uh so I see a little bit of Kevin Durant style wise in his game.

Yeah, I wouldn't disagree with that. I mean, similar builds, similar explosiveness. KD was such a remarkable shot maker, even at an early age, and he only refined it as he became a call of fame probe. I don't see Cooper shooting it quite as well right now at this stage, but I could see where that comparison would come to mind against similar builds, the same kind of exuberance Kate KD plays with that same type of reckless of banding

Is the tournament better when we hate Duke because this is a team that people don't hate this team.

I mean, this is just a good, a great team. But there's no villain on there.

Dan, you know, I love whatever the tournament gives us every year, and that's the beautiful thing about this three weeks. Whatever your particular flavor of choice is. If you need a villain, if you need a dominant team, if you want Cinderellas, you're gonna find what you want. And even if you don't in a given year, it still is

Wait, did CBS write that for you? That sounds like a promotional, like a commercial.

No.

I do my own writing.

Okay, I do my own writing.

Clark Kellogg CBS Sports College basketball analyst. Did Arkansas have a great year this year?

I think I had a really good second half of the season and a remarkable tournament run. I think you can separate regular season was turbulent and bumpy and disjoin it, but cal thrives in that type of environment. I thought he did it when he was the first to really embrace the one and done era, and he may have been the only coach who could have successfully embraced that eight, nine, ten year period where he was resetting his roster every

Aside from Duke, most of these teams aren't relying on freshmen that there there's been a and I don't know if it's temporary, but there has been a shift in bringing in the players who have experience. Yeah, it feels like that's the model, and I've been saying that Cali Perry needed to do that. At Kentucky. You're getting all these guys, but they're there for six months. The guys you're losing to are players who have been there for two and three years, getting like some kind of happy

Well, I think when you're going, when you're talking about sustainable success, I think continuity is important, Dan, whatever business you're in, leadership continuity, roster continuity, personnel continuity, it's significantly important to sustainable success. You can get flash in the pan success doing it the other way, but you've got

You played against Larry and Magic yep, and Michael, Yeah.

He came in two years. See he came in with Barkley, so they were two years after I got drafted.

Okay, tougher to guard, well.

My goodness, I didn't have to guard any of those guys. I did guard Bird a little bit, and he was a handful because he was so much stronger than he appeared, and he was such a great competitor and player. Michael obviously was another level at his position and in the game. Guys that gave me the greatest challenge. The guy who I didn't like to see at all was Binar King. He was with the Knicks at the time, and he was salivating the whole game for opportunities to give you

Well, you know, if not for that knee injury. I mean, Bernard was he was buckets man.

He big time, big time.

Yeah, and he was six', six but he'd take you down on the blocks and, yeah he was gonna he was gonna, come he rise up on.

You yeah he's.

Cooking he had the quick, release and he had an array of, moves but the quickness of his jump and release is really what allowed him to do such damage against bigger guys with his back to the.

Goal your Favorite Charles barkley story is WHAT.

I actually got the better Of, Charles and he'll probably tell you. This there were three guys he kind of looked at as he was thinking about being a pro and kind of pattern his game after and it Was Adrian, Dantlee John, drew and. Me and my first meeting With, CHARLES i got the best of, him and he told me afterwards that he was maybe just a tad and all BECAUSE i was kind of a guy he had looked up. To but we unfortunately had to play them within a matter of a week or two of me

Time give, me give me the surprise tonight of the, games the.

Surprise, Wow, man we Got, Houston, Purdue, Kentucky. TENNESSEE i tell, You michigan is an interesting team to me in That auburn. Matchup auburn's been really. Good six guys have average double digits in the. Tournament they've been the best and most consistent team all. Season BUT i since there might be a little bit out of kilter there the two big guys that would be the surprise of the games That

Surprise, Yeah i'm with you on that because you got two seven footers For. Michigan, uh not something we normally see in college, basketball but, Yeah michigan kind of sneaky good this. Year but, hey it's great to catch up with you as, always and thanks for. Joining great. Job it's like you're cleaning up after the elephant in the.

Yet and, uh but, YEAH i just didn't know about.

That, well that's not going to happen anytime, Soon.

LOGAN i don't think for The Utah jazz or The, wizards The, Spurs. Hornets college basketball has gotten older in twenty, nineteen so the year BEFORE, covid the average age of starters On sweet sixteen teams was twenty point. Eight in twenty twenty, one the number jump to twenty one point. Two now it's up to twenty one point. Six so that's more than three quarters of the players who will start last night and tonight that can legally grab a beer after the. Game auburn starting five is over twenty

Age they're not only, young they're not. Good and Is Cooper flagg the? Savior utah trying to tank?

This we're not. Tanking well what you.

Players, hey we want to see what we have with this, guy and if we happen to lose some, games that would be.

Great but we're not tanking where you.
