41.039 - 49.752 Joe Haden

Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breathe? and it's beautiful. The guys are young and cute and fit.

0

49.872 - 52.555 David Ross

It's not just a game. It's your culture.

52.955 - 55.017 Justin Ho

I like watching it with my dad.

55.157 - 56.379 David Ross

It's a connecting force.

56.679 - 73.997 Fernanda Echavarri

77.487 - 83.254 Teddi Mellencamp

All right, listen up. The Jonas Brothers here. Our podcast is called Hey Jonas. Since everyone has a podcast, we wanted to as well.

Chapter 2: How does Eli Manning compare his career to Lionel Messi's?

559.34 - 584.628 Dan Patrick

Yeah, 10th hole. 10th hole, 2012. The camera's behind him, so you see what he sees. You can't see the hole in any way, and all you see is tree branches and people. And it seems like a dumb attempt. It's his defining moment of his career. Yeah, he was bending the ball. But that was the Canadian Open with Tiger, wasn't it? That he had the six iron in the bunker over the water, like 220 yards away.

0

584.748 - 601.503 Dan Patrick

Yeah, Dale. There's also the Firestone or the Bridgestone open. It's my favorite Tiger shot. He hits the pitching wedge out of the rough 184 yards right next to the pin and just cranks it as hard as he can. I'm just like, only that guy can do that. Big day yesterday with the World Cup. You had your stars, and they acted like that.

0

602.324 - 632.893 Dan Patrick

Lionel Messi scores three times, and this is how the last one sounded. Nico Gonzalez, Lionel Messi, Lionel Messi! First career World Cup hat-trick ties the all-time goal-scoring record. France, Norway, Austria all win, and Bape has a couple of goals. Haaland had a couple of goals. This is what you want. You want to have people tune in and be able to see what's the fuss all about with this guy.

0

633.334 - 643.109 Dan Patrick

And Messi certainly gave you that. He turns 39 next week. Our hard-hitting, unbelievable, one of the greatest poll questions ever. Would you rather be Lionel Messi or Eli Manning?

0

Chapter 3: What insights does Eli Manning provide about championship parades?

643.83 - 654.806 Dan Patrick

This is a Pauly special. Go ahead, give the back story on this because you're getting roughed up even in the building here. Oh, I love the response to this poll. It actually bears out what I thought. Take away the money.

0

655.066 - 676.626 Dan Patrick

You want to play soccer and be the best soccer player of all time, biggest sport in the world, and everything that you mentioned that goes with Messi, or a very good NFL quarterback who's going to the Hall of Fame with two rings, also make great money, and can generally live his life day to day. Well, I said Messi. If I have a chance to be the greatest of all time, yes. Is it an inconvenience?

0

676.926 - 709.823 Dan Patrick

Yes. Eli's able to have anonymity. You know, he is. You know, it's a tradeoff, though. What are the results, Dylan? Lionel Messi's still holding strong at 77.9%. I think he lost about 0.3%, though, since we last checked. So things are trending terribly for him right now. All righty. 877-3DP-SHOW. Operator Tyler's sitting by. Do we want to play the World Cup food game like we did yesterday?

0

710.304 - 733.607 Dan Patrick

We absolutely can. Okay, I'll let you guys chime in because yesterday I kind of took over and dominated. Except for couscous is not from France. No, that was from Algeria. Okay, go ahead, Dylan. This is the favorite dish from these countries? It's either a national dish or if that's not a thing there, it's a very popular, notable dish from this place. All right, World Cup food game. Go ahead.

0

733.587 - 769.511 Dan Patrick

Fish and chips. We're going to start easy here. I'm going to let Todd go with that one. I'm going to go England for fish and chips. You'd be absolutely correct, Todd. All righty. All right. Now we're going to get a little tougher here. Palov, which is a lamb and rice dish. Marvin, Paulie? Croatia? No. I'll go Panama. Also no. I'm going Colombia. Also no. Ghana. Also no. Uzbekistan.

769.591 - 803.585 Dan Patrick

Ding, ding, ding. Uzbekistan. They love their Pavlov there. Pavlov's dog. Pavlov's dog. Yeah, hopefully not. Fufu, which is pounded cassava and plantain often eaten with soup. Paul. I just got some Congolese takeout the other day. I'm going Congo. No, but close. Ghana. Ding, ding, ding. Ghana. They love their foo-foo in Ghana. Foo-foo you. Cerny Resort, which is a black squid ink risotto.

807.01 - 807.691 Dan Patrick

Or cuttlefishing.

Chapter 4: What are the differences between soccer and American football fandom?

807.951 - 846.392 Dan Patrick

Portugal? No, but that's a good guess. Marvin? Croatia. Croatia is correct. Stupid. Chicken and palm butter stew. I hope I'm not butchering these too bad, but it doesn't matter. Panama. Incorrect. Marvin? Colombia. Also incorrect. Portugal. Todd, that's wrong. Congo? Ding, ding, ding, that's Congo.

0

847.015 - 847.86 David Ross

I knew Paul would come through.

0

847.88 - 859.999 Dan Patrick

Only nation left. No, there's one more. Or is there? No, there's two more. Panama. Sancocho de Galena. Galena. Chicken and cilantro stew. Panama. That is correct.

0

860.019 - 860.239 Bruno Satin

Okay.

0

860.8 - 884.122 Dan Patrick

You have any of that while you're down there? I might have had that. The food in Panama is awesome. It's great. When I spent a couple of weeks there in the last couple of years there, man, the food is out of this world. Some fresh seafood down there. Yes, it is. All right. Is that it? Oh, there's one more, but it's only the last one left. Portugal's pastel de nata, which is delicious.

884.182 - 911.956 Dan Patrick

It's like an egg custard puff pastry. It's actually dessert, but. Okay. Yeah, Paul. When you're in Panama, do you see like American fast food places? Are those commonplace or not very much? I didn't. I stayed downtown. Oh. I did go to the Panama Canal, which was wonderful to see. These huge ships come in, and then they lower them, and then they raise them. It was a spectacle.

912.317 - 936.704 Dan Patrick

But no, I didn't see fast food restaurants. I'm trying to think. But I didn't go very far from my hotel to the stem cell facility, from the stem cell facility back to my hotel. And although I did have the best hamburger of my life at the hotel that we stayed in, it was the best hamburger I've ever had in my life. And we were told this.

937.546 - 959.58 Dan Patrick

The guy, Dan, from Lima, Ohio, went in because he had ED, and they gave him four shots into his D. And he got a burger after. Yes. And he said to me, as we're sitting in the lounge area, getting ready for our stem cell,

Chapter 5: How do Eli Manning's Super Bowl experiences shape his perspective?

959.56 - 984.069 Dan Patrick

He goes, have you tried the burger at the hotel? I go, no. He goes, best burger ever. Well, he's from the Midwest. I'm going, this guy knows something about it. So I say to my wife, when I get done with my stem cell treatment, we're going to go have that burger. So we go there, we order the burger, and we sit out at a poolside. And we both took half of the burger and bit in at the same time.

0

984.73 - 1007.383 Dan Patrick

And then all of a sudden it was like we looked at each other and we go, that's the best burger I've ever had. Next day, I go in to see Dan, and Dan said that things were working for him after his ED. He took four shots. I kept calling him Ed. I said, Ed, how are you feeling? He goes, I like that. I like that.

0

1007.403 - 1013.932 Joe Haden

Maybe he got a rise out of that tasty burger and had nothing to do with the medication.

0

1013.952 - 1041.074 Dan Patrick

I don't know what they did, but that burger was... Then I went back for stem cell in February. My wife and I go, should we try the burger again? She goes, let's see if it's as good as we remember. Go out to the pool. We sit there, grab a burger, cut it in half, take a bite. We looked at each other and said, God, that's the best burger I've ever had. I don't know why, but it was unbelievable.

0

1041.695 - 1066.171 Dan Patrick

Yeah, Paul. Did he seem excited to tell you about it? He did not seem excited that I remember anything. But I do remember that poor guy was going in to get those shots, and I had to get shots in my shoulder. I had to have surgery eventually. They said, why don't we put some stem cell in there? And I almost cried. It hurt so bad. And I'm thinking, man, I am a wimp. I'm embarrassed.

1066.191 - 1092.437 Dan Patrick

I'm telling my wife, I said, that guy's getting four shots into his head, and I'm out here whining because I'm – And I don't hear him scream. He comes out. And I'm like, how you doing? He goes, you know, I'm okay. I said, I didn't hear you scream. He goes, no, I didn't hear you scream either. I go, I got him in my shoulder. You got him in your head. He goes, doctor comes out.

1092.755 - 1114.826 Dan Patrick

And I said, look, I got to apologize because, man, I was about the verge of crying. He goes, your injections far more painful than his. I said, no, he got his in his head. And he goes, no, in your shoulder. We had an offensive lineman come in here two weeks ago. He passed out. He got a shot right where you got a shot.

Chapter 6: What does Eli Manning think about the importance of mental resilience in sports?

1114.846 - 1137.878 Dan Patrick

I got four of them right in the heart of your shoulder. Yeah, Paulie. You know, right before surgery, they put an X mark on the body part? Yeah. Did they do that for Dan? I don't know if, like, they do that for your knee or your shoulder so they don't operate on the other one. I don't think he has two eds. Just checking. Yes, Dylan. I don't care how much more painful the shoulder one is.

0

1138.059 - 1165.596 Dan Patrick

I'm taking that one over the edge shot. I agree with you. I felt bad that I was wimpy. I was like, man, I'm sorry that I almost passed out. The guy goes, no, no, yours is far more. Okay, I'm in Panama. They have Spanish-speaking doctors and nurses, and they also speak English. So at one point, the doctor, he's putting these injections in my shoulder.

0

1165.616 - 1202.842 Dan Patrick

So three of them, and he's speaking in Spanish. With the last one, I hear him say, give me the longer needle. And he says it in English. And I said, no, that's when you speak Spanish. Not now. So I look over and I see this thing and I go, oh, my God. I'm going to cry. Semso, help me play golf. Hit the ball past these younger guys yesterday. Come on. I dominated you guys yesterday off the tee.

0

1203.584 - 1232.472 Dan Patrick

Embarrassing. You did. That's how bad you guys played. I didn't play that. Eli Manning, would Eli take his career over Lionel Messi's? We'll ask him next here on the Dan Patrick Show.

I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult.

There's a lot of people who understand postpartum depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I love the sounds.

1323.566 - 1331.239 Fernanda Echavarri

The buzzing from the stadium, the chanting from the fans, the announcers calling the place. Soccer. Football. It's home.

1332.241 - 1336.348 Joe Haden

Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breathe?

1337.189 - 1338.922 Fernanda Echavarri

I inherited that fandom from my mom.

1339.123 - 1343.233 Justin Ho

I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force.

Eli Manning set to join us. The latest installment of Eli Manning Presents, the undercovers featuring NASCAR champion Ryan Blaney, available now exclusively on Prime Video. Eli will also have a new upcoming episode this summer featuring the New York Liberty point guard Sabrina Ionescu. Eli Joning is on the program. All right, before I get to all this stuff, let me ask you this.

1495.119 - 1512.343 Dan Patrick

I don't know if you've heard this question on the show that we've been asking today. Paulie, this is your special. So you knew we were having Eli on, and you asked the nation this question. Eli, hey, buddy. We knew we were going to have you on today. Lionel Messi had a great game last night. So I wanted to experiment with sports fans.

1512.784 - 1534.729 Dan Patrick

Would you rather have your career, two-time Super Bowl champion, on his way to the Hall of Fame, NFL quarterback, or... Leo Messi's career as the greatest soccer player probably of all time and the biggest sport on earth. Taking away career salaries, just the role and the job. You know, I think that's a tough question.

1535.23 - 1563.506 Dan Patrick

And, you know, I think I'm never going to second guess or take back my career just because it's not always what your stats are or what you're labeled as. It's the relationships, it's the friendships, it's the paths, it's the things you overcame. that make you proud of what I was able to accomplish. And so I have all the respect for Messi. And, you know, my son's wearing his jersey around.

1563.566 - 1586.878 Dan Patrick

And, you know, for him at 39 years old to have a hat trick yesterday is unbelievable. But, you know, I've enjoyed my journey, and I'll stick with it. Better throw, the one to Mario Manningham or the one to David Tyree? The one to Manningham is definitely a better throw. That was kind of the way it's supposed to be done.
