The Dan Patrick Show

I'm more of Goodfellas, The Shining, Silence of the Lambs.

They filmed The Shining at their summer home, as a matter of fact.

I was flipping through the channels last night, and all of a sudden I stumbled upon Fight Club. And they got me. And I'd seen it before a few times. But Tyler Durden, Brad Pitt's character, that's a great one. That's an old-timer.

And the fact that whenever, wherever Brad Pitt would go in the movie, and then he'll see somebody like at the diner, and then they'll just give the look, and then the look, because, you know, the first rule of Fight Club. And it was, boy.

Hey, DP. I have a question for you and then Dan Nance. This is from that movie Fight Club. One of my favorites. So, if you could fight a sports figure, alive or dead, who would it be?

If you could fight a sports figure, alive or dead, who would it be? For example, I'd fight Bob Costas.

I'm telling you, watch The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, man. It's the best.

Will you show the kids The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Headless Horseman, Ichabod Crane?

You don't want to bring these things back, dude. You don't even want to clone them. Trust me. I've seen that movie. I've read that book. Doesn't end well.

Life imitates art. I've seen Pet Sematary. So when you clone your dog, does it come back the same dog or something a little off like Cujo?

You guys were talking Shawshank Redemption. And Paul mentioned something I didn't know. Originally, they wanted Morgan Freeman's character to be portrayed as an Irish guy, which I thought was ironic, because when Andy Dufresne and Red met for the first time, they were chitchatting. After the chitchat, Andy looked at him and said, hey, why do they call you Red? And he was playing catch, and he turned to him and said, I guess because I'm Irish.

I came across the book of the Shawshank Redemption. And I actually read the book. And great book.

Stephen King wrote the book.

I wrote a mental health book a few years ago called Unbreakable.

If you haven't read the book yet, there's a book out, Unbreakable, How I Turn My Depression, Anxiety, and a Motivation.

He's Wright Thompson, new book, The Barn, the secret history of a murder in Mississippi now available online wherever books are sold.

The Barn tells the story of Emmett Till, 14 year old African American boy killed in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of offending a white woman and Wright's investigation takes a deep dive into the case and cover up that followed.

I mean, before this was a personal quest for someone trying to understand their home long before there was a magazine assignment or a book assignment, because it started to emerge to me that this barn and the way that it had been erased from the American story was a kind of vessel for American history.

And one of the reasons that I wanted to write a book not just about the history of that barn, but of the land around it and excavate the blood and the dirt is that look, there's a life force and energy there that is absolutely palpable.

I want to start with maybe the greatest sports book ever written. It was 1985, 1986, Indiana basketball. And the book was A SEASON ON THE BRINK.

It was written by John Feinstein who passed away yesterday at the age of 69. It was a wonderful inside look at Bob Knight and Indiana basketball. He had full access and the book caused a rift with Knight because it was true.
