Chapter 2: What are the highlights of the World Cup action discussed?

109.111 - 125.689 Javier Chicharito Hernandez

Everyone sees me as a football player, but before anything else, I'm human. Every single day, I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions, ever since I was born. This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real, and genuine. Just honest conversations about what it means to be alive.

138.541 - 161.115 Dan Patrick

You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. Made it to a Wednesday. Got pizza on the menu today. Not exactly sure what Dylan is whipping up, but morale is high. Come on in. Fritzy's back. Yay. Let's go. Yay. You got a status report? Are you probable, doubtful, day-to-day?

0

161.135 - 167.344 Todd Fritz

A little crummy, but better than yesterday. Enough to be here, and I'm glad to be back. I didn't want to miss more than one day, so here we are.

0

167.564 - 176.157 Dan Patrick

Okay, that's part of the reason why morale is high. Yes, Dylan? I'm liking Todd's scruffy look, too. And the voice, too.

176.517 - 187.093 Todd Fritz

Yeah, this is strictly not feeling good enough to shave, but I'm glad. And Paul has mentioned a few times he kind of likes some of the facial hair, but I'm not doing it for any kind of look other than just didn't feel like shaving.

187.073 - 208.309 Dan Patrick

All right. Thank you, Todd. Marvin is here. Paul is here. Backroom guys and yours truly. Eli Manning will join us. He knows a thing or two about victory parades in New York City. We'll talk to Eli a little bit later on. Phone calls always welcome. 877-3DP-SHOW. Operator Tyler sitting by doing nothing but taking your phone calls there.

208.83 - 233.438 Dan Patrick

Actually played golf with Tyler yesterday with Dylan and Mario, who's the eyes and ears of the show. Got to play some golf, had some laughs. And once again, these guys are at least 30 years younger than me. And the old man was out driving all of these Utes. I'm going to blame the driver. I'm blaming the wand, not the wizard.

236.923 - 250.142 Dan Patrick

Well, there was plenty of blame to go around for some bad shots yesterday. You were hitting it well, though. Yes, I was. Well struck. I wasn't scoring. That's what you hear sometimes when you talk to guys, really good players. I hit it well.

Chapter 3: How do fans connect with soccer during the World Cup?

250.162 - 277.679 Dan Patrick

I'm just not scoring. Or, man, I didn't hit it that well. I kind of ham and egged it. Yes, Paulie. Are you back? Oh, my back. You took a long stretch away from golf. I think over eight years. And the sport suffered. Yes, it did. Yes, it did. You seem back. I was back-ish yesterday. All right. And I played 18 holes. Normally, I stop at 15. Because that's right by the clubhouse.

0

277.699 - 296.452 Dan Patrick

I'm like, man, there's a beer right there. A convenient 15? Yes. Like, we could stop right there. But I played all 18 yesterday. Yes, Dylan. Yeah, when we got off, whatever, the 15th green, and then you started going to the 16th tee box, I was like, what's happening here? Yeah, I know. I know. Well, last time we played, I stopped at 15 and let you guys continue.

0

296.472 - 312.479 Dan Patrick

And I thought, no, you know, let's post a score here. You didn't miss much. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of this program. First Hour brought to you by Meguiar's. They have their quick solution kits, removing the guesswork when cleaning out your car.

0

312.859 - 335.18 Dan Patrick

The kits come with the products you need to tackle the job, a drill attachment brush for faster cleaning. They do wonderful work. McGuire's quick solutions kit, and they've been doing this for 125 years. Poll question, play of the day, stat of the day, all of that forthcoming. Say good morning. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.

335.88 - 356.94 Dan Patrick

A lot of soccer yesterday. And, you know, the United States, it feels like collectively we fall in love with the World Cup every four years. It's still taking time for us because we have other sports. You know, when you think of these other countries, this is their football. This is their NFL. We have other distractions here. But we love our stars.

357.441 - 383.526 Dan Patrick

You know, we fell in love or a lot of people fell in love collectively with the WNBA, with Caitlin Clark, Lance Armstrong with the Tour de France. Larry Bird Magic Johnson with the NBA. Great players do more than win games. They actually create fans. And that's exactly what happened yesterday. You had star power front and center. Lionel Messi reminded everybody of why he is the GOAT.

383.546 - 409.158 Dan Patrick

And he did so in primetime with a hat trick. Killian Mbappe had two goals of his own. Erling Haaland, he had two goals as well. So the biggest names shining the brightest, and that's what you want. Now, we're not going to abandon our traditional sports here in the United States, but... You get the superstars front and center. And yesterday, that was a fantastic start to watch great soccer.

409.658 - 435.237 Dan Patrick

And, you know, sometimes you'll watch a sport and you'll go, I don't get it. Or you'll watch a sport and you'll go, now why is he considered a great player? This was one of those where you go, I'm going to tune in. Let me see what Messi's all about. I mean, the guy's going to turn 39 next week. That is ancient in soccer. And on this stage. But yesterday, had a hat trick.

435.257 - 469.497 Dan Patrick

He could have had four goals. But you're watching. I mean, Holland and Mbappe, those are big guys. I'm still fascinated with Messi. Like, I watch and I go, how? He's not fast. It feels like he's a Jalen Brunson type from the standpoint. Yeah, I'm coming back to Jalen Brunson. Those Knick fans, they're going to embrace me now. Oh, he compared him to Messi. Footwork is so important.

Chapter 4: What does Eli Manning think about being compared to Lionel Messi?

596.175 - 625.835 Dan Patrick

But watching Messi yesterday at that age? Like soccer, it feels like on this stage you're old when you're in your early 30s. He's going to be 39 soon. Tom Rinaldi had a really good profile of Messi and where he grew up. And this is Rosario, Argentina, and they got murals all over the place. It's like seven of them of him in his hometown. But that's what's fun. That's what we want.

0

626.275 - 657.911 Dan Patrick

We love star power in the United States. And you got to see star power yesterday. That's a great day for World Cup. You got matches coming up today. I will be interested in England and Croatia. There's Portugal and Congo, Ghana and Panama, Uzbekistan and Colombia. We will get Ronaldo today. And how many goals will he score? Now, he's 41 years of age. So he'll be front and center today.

0

658.051 - 682.991 Dan Patrick

But World Cup, that was a lot of fun. A lot of fun yesterday. All right, Dylan, what's the poll question for the first hour of the program? Well, Dan, this feels topical, but who is your soccer goat? Messi, Ronaldo, Pele? Other? Anyone? Probably recency bias with Messi. Now, when he came to the United States, I think people were surprised.

0

683.111 - 698.281 Dan Patrick

It's like, oh, why isn't he playing in the Premier League? Or why isn't he playing at a higher level in a different league around the world? Ronaldo went to Saudi Arabia, so he basically disappeared. His bank account didn't, but he basically disappeared.

0

698.721 - 710.451 Dan Patrick

Messi came over, and you're seeing more of these more experienced veteran older players coming over here at the tail end of their career, which is great for us that you're able to see them, and he's played really well in the MLS.

713.054 - 736.427 Dan Patrick

But, you know, when you're doing it, you go back into the World Cup, and now all of a sudden you get a hat trick, and then you're like, okay, just want to remind you guys occasionally. Just want to tap you on the shoulder. But I'm not an expert in it, don't know enough about it to be able to make some kind of educated guess or have analytics to back it up. Messi also, he's always fascinated me.

736.527 - 765.943 Dan Patrick

Ronaldo doesn't fascinate me as much because he looks like an athlete. He looks like he's Kobe out there. Messi's just a little guy who kind of toddles about. And you go, I'll be damned. But this is the brilliance, the beauty of sport, where you go, that guy is smarter than most people. And that's what it comes down to. You have athleticism. They all have athleticism.

766.444 - 792.459 Dan Patrick

Now what do you do that's different? I'm going to get to there without you knowing, or I'm going to get there before you get there. And even seeing Mbappe, he had a shot that was, I don't know, 40 yards out. Like, it's just a bomb. And that poor goaltender for Senegal is like, wait, oh, he's actually taking a shot. And then it's way too late.

792.94 - 811.668 Dan Patrick

But to see, now those guys are fit, you know, Holland, those guys are built. But those guys are in their mid-20s. Messi is going to be 39. Wow. Yeah, Paul. Yeah, four years ago when Argentina won it, a lot of people thought that's it for Messi. He'll be 39. He goes to play in Miami.

Chapter 5: What insights does Eli share about his career and challenges?

958.156 - 982.284 Dan Patrick

But they have to dumb it down so I'm going to be able to understand it. Yes, Paul? Yeah, with me, it happens the same thing. You know, the Fed chairman is kind of like Michael Jordan in his prime. Everyone loves him now. What? The Fed chairman? He's like David Lee Roth leaving Van Halen. Yes. But weren't you described as being the Sammy Hagar of I was. That was very nice.

0

982.304 - 1003.821 Dan Patrick

I was thinking more of a Ronnie James Dio kind of. Oh, okay. Yeah. But I'll take Sammy Hagar. Very successful tequila. Yes. Cabo Wabo. Cabo Wabo. I haven't had it. I don't know if I've ever had it on purpose, but it's probably been in a drink that I've had. How about we get some for Friday? Got him some Margs.

0

1004.142 - 1005.306 Justin Ho

Yeah. Margarita Friday.

0

1005.406 - 1031.613 Dan Patrick

1093.163 - 1102.393 Darius Miller

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.

Chapter 6: How do cultural differences affect perceptions of soccer and football?

1244.729 - 1252.481 Niall Horan

Slow hands is not about anything else, really, is it? You know, our taste so good can't be about food. You do the same, Nick, with some of the stuff that you've done.

1262.23 - 1289.23 Dan Patrick

We got a bunch of people calling in, talking about the World Cup, talking about Messi, comparison to Wayne Gretzky. You got Ronaldo and Messi. Is that like bird and magic? It's good. It's fun getting people to talk about this. NBA Finals ratings, ABC ESPN. Had the most watched NBA Finals since 1998 with Michael Jordan, the Bulls, and the Utah Jazz.

0

1289.951 - 1304.674 Dan Patrick

Saturday's Game 5, the average audience was 24.5 million viewers. Peaked at 33 million viewers. And it's the most watched NBA Finals Game 5 since 1998.

0

1310.611 - 1316.299 Darius Miller

This is the stat of the day.

1316.319 - 1341.997 Dan Patrick

Stat of the day. Brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. We have a new poll question. We'll get to phone calls coming up. Paulie said this is an unbelievable poll question that he has. That it could be debates, bets attached to this. It is that important. It's a bit of a sports social experiment. Football is the biggest sport in our country.

1342.498 - 1367.605 Dan Patrick

Soccer, the biggest sport on earth. Not really a debate. Whose career would you want? Eli Manning. Remove money. Eli Manning. Two Super Bowls. Likely going to the Hall of Fame. Very good quarterback in the sport that a lot of people love in America. Or you could be Lionel Messi. Likely going to go down as the greatest player in the most popular sport on earth. Remove what they make.

1368.687 - 1391.207 Dan Patrick

But what did you guys think you would do? And I want to bet on the results. Are you betting now, or do you want to wait until, like, how do we know that? I'd like to give our answers first, and then we can bet on the results. Because I'm curious if being the best ever at the biggest sport on earth trumps playing football, because football is still the most popular sport here.

1391.327 - 1415.553 Dan Patrick

Okay, I'll go first, but I want to throw out this caveat. Messi can't really live in a normal world. Eli Manning, he can't. Eli can come and go. Nobody's going to be mobbing him. Nobody's camping out at his house. If he goes to a restaurant, there's not thousands and thousands of people. You might have a couple of people coming over and saying, can I get a picture?

Chapter 7: What are the unique aspects of victory parades in sports?

1542.836 - 1565.853 Dan Patrick

Like, Fritzie loves football. You'd have to come up with a better football example for me to make this closer. Eli was booked today, that's why. That's half the reason of the poll question. Okay, would you rather be Peyton Manning or Messi? I'm going to throw the BS flag on that one. I think we need to go with someone a bit lesser. No offense to Eli.

0

1566.153 - 1596.324 Dan Patrick

He's going to be a Hall of Famer, has two rings. I would still want to be Messi over Peyton Manning. That's pretty impressive. Yes, he's the greatest. He's the GOAT. Yeah. If you said you could be Messi, LeBron, or Tom Brady... Is it obvious that you're going to take Tom Brady's career? Because, you know, LeBron is in the conversation of greatest.

0

1596.344 - 1621 Dan Patrick

Because I don't want to put Jordan in there because I would take Jordan. But if I said you could have, like you could throw in Tiger. You could throw in, I can't throw in Mike. LeBron, Tom Brady with Messi? Yes, Dylan. Yeah, I guess like every, obviously up for debate, GOAT and their respective sport would be Jordan, Gretzky, Mets, just for the sake of argument. Well, Jordan's going to win that.

0

1621.201 - 1651.544 Dan Patrick

Yeah. Yeah, Jordan's going to win that. A guy could put Gretzky in there as well. Otani? Yeah. Yeah. Who said, who did we have on the other day? C.C. Sabathia said, Otani's the greatest baseball player of all time. He homered last night. It's a little soon, though. I think he said four, yeah. You do? I think it's a little soon to crown him the best baseball player of all time. Will he?

0

1651.665 - 1667.397 Dan Patrick

Barring any, you know. Okay, does he have to have three more great years? Like, he could have three more MVPs. Right? He's going to get one. He's basically a lock at this point for this season. Yes. Yes, Todd.

1667.757 - 1679.009 Todd Fritz

Would Ali hold his own in a poll like that? Or because it's boxing and, you know, he called himself the greatest, but obviously some of the accolades of some of these other, you know, players we've talked about in other sports. But where would you put Ali?

1679.49 - 1693.689 Dan Patrick

You know, it's worldwide. It's global. Yeah. He was a showman. Like he told you when he was going to knock somebody out. Yeah. Sure. I don't have any problem with that. Yeah, Paul?

1693.729 - 1714.779 Dan Patrick

I love mixing in all the goats, but I think that the Eli Manning angle makes this tougher because you're picking a good borderline Hall of Fame guy in the sport like Fritzie picked it because he loves football that much. It would really help if Messi were also booked today because Eli's already on the show. Just saying. Yeah, it's not a debate.

1715.4 - 1744.771 Dan Patrick

The only thing that I wouldn't want is Messi can't live a normal life. The rest of his life. If he wins another World Cup, you know, you see when he goes to a restaurant in Miami, word gets out, there's thousands of people. You know, it's not Taylor Swift. This is Messi. Yes, Dylan. Would you rather win a World Cup or a Super Bowl? World Cup. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Do you get a ring?

Chapter 8: How does Eli Manning relate to the Knicks' recent championship?

1815.68 - 1842.558 Dan Patrick

But if the backroom guys want to go to the parade tomorrow, but they have to paint their chest, now we can decide. They can have a G and an O for go, or they could have an N and a Y. You could have J and B for Jalen Brunson, whatever it is. Yes, Dylan. Do they have to go tarps off on the train into New York? Yes. All right, I like that. And I want video. Yeah. Yes, Paul.

0

1842.578 - 1848.145 Dan Patrick

If it's G-O and they put go, they could also switch spots and be O-G. Okay.

0

1848.165 - 1849.487 Teddi Mellencamp

All right.

0

1849.507 - 1856.295 Dan Patrick

I'm going to give it to you. Versatility. I'm going to give it to you. Bloop, bloop. Drew in Columbus. Good morning, Drew. What's on your mind today?

0

1856.315 - 1880.891 Todd Fritz

511-195. When you have the lovely Rebecca Lowe on and you ask her where to go, I'm going to recommend that you bring up an Arsenal-Tottenham match. I'm a massive Arsenal fan. I've been to the North London Derby. I also have season tickets to Ohio State, and I've probably been to 15 Ohio State-Michigan games, and I'm going to tell you it is a tea party compared to an Arsenal-Tottenham match.

1880.911 - 1889.241 Todd Fritz

If you want to understand what it means to those people, I mean, those teams represent the streets those people grew up on. It's just different. It's just different.

1889.491 - 1901.827 Dan Patrick

Yeah, and I want to experience that. I haven't been able to experience that. Now, there's a couple of sporting events that I would like to see in person. Dan in Denver. Hi, Dan.

1903.729 - 1915.785 David Ross

Hey, Dan. Thanks for taking my call. 5-9-175. I just had to call in to correct my younger brother, Dylan, in Denver you just spoke to. Steph Curry-Messi is a great comp, but Messi is the GOAT.

1916.609 - 1940.891 Dan Patrick

He's Jordan. He's Gretzky. He's the best ever. There's really just no doubt about it now. Well, I think we were talking about when you see Steph Curry, you go, that guy does that? So I don't think that you were saying that Steph Curry is messy. It is the comparison of you look at somebody and you go, how is that guy doing that? And that's what you get with messy as well.
