you are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio.

We made it to a Wednesday. It's the Espice, the greatest night in sports,

having been through quite a few of those, including the very first Espice.

I remember when we really had to go out of our way to get athletes to show up.

Like, what do you need? And I always go back to the Ken Griffey Jr.

Espice, where he said, I'll show up. You have to get a copy of every single home run

that I've ever hit in major league history and give that to my mom.

So you probably had a couple of production assistants at the mothership.

They're scrambling to find whatever 500 home runs so we could get Ken Griffey Jr.

to show up at the Espice. But you got Steph Curry hosting tonight.

I wondered about this with Steph. Like, why would you do that?

A lot of pressure. I could see Saturday night live because that's a little bit more scripted.

There's a lot more comedy. It's not just based on you.

But the Espice, it's a little bit, you know, you're out there.

You're a man on an island. And we've seen a lot of people do really well.

You know, paid man and was wonderful there.

Lance Armstrong did a good job. John Cena. I mean, there've been quite a few hosts

who have done it, you know, singularly, but you're out there.

You got to take a couple of shots at some people.

But Steph is on scholarship right now. And this might be one of those where Steph goes.

You know, I'm going to play basketball for three or four more years.

Maybe I can be in partnership with the Espiet.
