Patrick McEnroe and Rich “Big Daddy” Salgado are quite the doubles team.
The tennis insider and known NFL insurance guru, both Long Island natives, are launching a podcast that will serve up “the kind of things you can’t Google” on celebrity guests like Michael Strahan, Bryan Cranston, Mike Tyson, Brandi Chastain and Miracle on Ice captain Mike Eruzione.
“It’s a deep dive into what makes these people tick,” ESPN’s McEnroe told The Post before heading to the French Open.
The duo aptly named their project “The Mac Daddy Show.”
McEnroe leads in with questions, and Salgado — he’s a power broker in the NFL and NHL known to do any favor for any person, celebrity or not — chimes in with the lighthearted and one-of-a-kind personality.
“It’s like I’m doing my day to day for everybody to hear,” said Salgado, CEO of Coastal Advisors and co-founder of MyTermLife.Ai.
“You’d be so shocked to hear how relatable their lives are and how they like to have fun, too, and deal with serious issues,” added Salgado.
Cranston opens up about his lifelong love for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Eruzione, a proud Italian descendant, stunningly revealed that he doesn’t like pasta.
“I was shocked to hear that,” McEnroe admitted.
“He did the interview with a sign behind him that read ‘Life, love, and food,’ ” added McEnroe, a former player and brother of tennis icon John McEnroe.
That’s exactly the sort of stuff they hope will turn the soon-to-be-released show with lots of video elements into a grand slam.
“I think we’re going to be able to get some different lanes with people,” McEnroe added. “Bring some different stuff out.”
