This isn't eye-harp podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Ready for a different take on Formula One, look no further than no grip, a new podcast tackling

the culture of motor racing's most coveted series.

Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-export pockets of F1, including the astrology of the current grid, the story of the sports most consequential driver strike, and plenty of other mishab scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no grip on the eye-harp radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

A shocking public murder. This is one of the most dramatic events that really ever happened in New York City politics. A screen good-down, good-down, those are shots. A tragedy that's now forgotten, and a mystery that may or may not have been political, that may have been about sex.

Listen to Worshack, murder and city hall, on the eye-harp radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever

you get your podcasts. I'm Lori Siegel, and on my new podcast, Mostly Human, I'll take you to some wild corners of the tech world. I'm about to go on a date with an AI companion, add a real world cafe right here near the city.

There's no playbook for what to do when an AI model who hallucinates a story about you. Mostly Human is your playbook for how tech can work for you. Anyone can now be an entrepreneur, anyone can build an app, and it's very empowering. Listen to Mostly Human on the eye-harp radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.

If you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got some covered on the podcast, Blagrant, and Funny.

You want to start with the first version from the big kid coach of the year?

Oh, what do you like to get? Yeah, you're a Spartan, is that what I mean? Exactly. So whether your bracket is busted, or you just want the real talk on what's happening during the tournament, open your free eye-harp radio app, search Flagrant, and funny with Carrie

Champion and Jamel Hill, and listen now. Presented by Capital One, Founding Farner of Eye-Heart Women's Sports. You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's hour one on this Wednesday, everybody's here.

Seaton, Paulie, Fritsi, Marv, the backroom guys, yours truly. And you, busy show. We got Tom Israel from Michigan State to stop my grant Hill on loan from CBS and TNT. We'll join us and Mike Florio from the NFL League meetings.

Our phone calls will always welcome 8773D P-Show, email address [email protected] Twitter

handle it. T-P-Show, our stat of the day is always brought to you by the great folks at Panini America, the official trading cards with the Dan Patrick Show. First hour, brought to you by Sirius Griller's Choose Reck Tech. That's our new meat Friday partner.

In fact, we don't even like to wait until Friday to use this. RECTEQ.com, make sure you go to the website, check out all the different grills they have to offer, nothing compares to cooking on a wreck tech. Play the day, pull questions, stat of the day, all to that fourth coming. Good morning, if you're watching on P-Cock.

Thank you for downloading the app and listening to our radio fillets around the country. By the way, today is the day that you can announce that you're in the transfer portal. It's going to open up next Tuesday. The current projection is 1100 men's basketball players will enter the portal next Tuesday, this according to a source.

So that equates to the rosters of nearly 100 division one basketball teams. It's yearly free agency, but next Tuesday, the portal opens for business and the current projection of what I have from my source is 1100 men's basketball players will be in the portal. Now the other story with college basketball is the official who was involved in the

Dan Hurley moment at the end of the game, Roger Ayers, he is not going to be referring in the final four. Now, I've been back and forth with my source at the NCAA on this and he is suggesting.

Now there's no reporting on this, there's no information on this, but he says I think

at most the NCAA opted out of using Roger as a temperature cooling option, a distraction that is unneeded because you get graded in the tournament and from what my source is saying

That he doesn't think that he was downgraded, but he's going to give the bene...

doubt, so he doesn't think that this is something that because of the moment there that

if he didn't tee up Dan Hurley, that cost him an opportunity to referee in the final

four, which he's done before, but my source said yesterday the same thing that he thinks Ayers would understand you don't want to be a distraction here. While you want to be in the final four, you don't want him to be doing the Yukon game, because then that becomes a focal point, that becomes a side story, every time out, every moment, that official with Dan Hurley, so he said in his opinion, now once again, his opinion

and it's a source that I have relied on a long time and he's stating that this is in his opinion because they met on Monday, the NCAA, the committee, and I'm sure it was just

discussed then from what my source says, he was not in that meeting, but he said, I know

people who were, and I'm sure that it comes up, but this is not something that Roger Ayers is not going to be in the final four, but it's not because of that moment, because

if you keep him out of the final four, and it's because of his refereeing, then you're

saying he should have teed up Dan Hurley, and my source said that is not the case, because he even had the language in here, let me see, he had chapter in verse on what he was following as far as rule 10.2H says an unsporting class A technical should be assessed to a coacher player who just respectfully contacts an official or makes a threat of physical intimidation or harm to include pushing, shoving, spitting, or attempting to make physical contact with

an official, and my source says this just isn't that, but he thinks that they are opting out of using Roger as a temperature cooling option, a distraction that is unneeded for the final four. I also saw this, the Ken Palm ratings that they go by when they're, you know, seeding teams, Saturdays, semi-final game between Michigan and Arizona will be a matchup between the

third and fourth best Ken Palm ratings of all time. Number one is Duke 1999, number two, Duke 2025, number three, Michigan, number four, Arizona, number five, is Duke back in 2001. Pauli, do you have the Duke 1999 team?

I always have that on my computer, Dan.

You know that. Corey McGettie, Elton Brand, Shane Baddie, Trasian Langdon, and even the bench has some names you might know, but those are five NBA players in the starting line. Yeah, these are the all-time ratings by Ken Palm, Duke, and then Duke in 2025, out, then it's Michigan, and then Arizona, and then Duke, running out the top five, the O-1, Duke

team. Do you have that one as well? Pauli, can you give me two thousand, two thousand, one, wow. Well, everybody keep saying this is going to be for the championship, or it should be for the championship.

Well, it's not, it's just to play for the championship. Yes, Paul, O-1, Duke, Carlos Booser, Chris Duhan, Jason Williams, Dante Jones, the transfer

from Rutgers, remember him, those are their starting line up.

All right, so Florio from the NFL meetings, Tom Isill, Michigan State Head Coach, Grand Hill, former Duky, will join us as well. Tiger issued a statement yesterday saying he is stepping away. He didn't say golf, but you, that's implied that he's stepping away from golf-related jobs, tasks, responsibilities, and he's going to seek treatment here.

So if you're watching on peacock, we have the statement here. I'm not going to read the whole thing, but Tiger is, now I don't know if he goes away somewhere, I don't know how treatment works, you know, a lot of famous people have been in treatment. Now obviously ultra famous, like Tiger, but, you know, there have been movie stars who have

been in rock stars who have been in their politicians, you know, you name it, all walks of life, but I don't know if Tiger goes to a rehab facility. He's tried this before, but he pleaded, he didn't say no contest, did he say not guilty

With the, the moment the incident that he had with the car accident.

So just some of the headlines, and then yesterday, Italy failed to make the world cup again.

That's three consecutive world cups that Italy has failed to make it, just to qualify.

So with the loss, Italy becomes the first former champ to miss out on three consecutive

world cups, with none of the team's current players ever having participated in the world cup. Stato the day brought to you by Pineda America, which will trading cards of the Dan Patrick show while I reached out to a source with the NCAA, so did Pauli, and my source doesn't work for the NCAA, but he is affiliated with the NCAA, I just want to make sure Pauli

source, yeah, on Monday, the NCAA released their officials for the final four in the final game. A number of media outlets reported yesterday, headlines like Roger Ares won't wrap in the final four after the Dan Hurley exchange, and insinuating that because of this he was pulled.

Rerested out to the NCAA, and they got right back to us this morning. We asked if the incident with Hurley had any effect on Roger Ares status for the final four.

They said, quote, this had no bearing on the selection of the final four officials, okay.

None. And, you know, my source backs that up even goes to step further to say, wouldn't be surprised if Ares took himself out of consideration, because he didn't want to be a distraction. But just so people know, because there are a lot of media outlets, these are big time media outlets, and they make it sound like Roger Ares was being punished, and that he was

being kept out of the final four. But all you got to do is get ahold of the NCAA to ask them, all right, Paul question

seat, and what are we going to go with first hour of the program?

Well, let's see if we are, are we allowed to ask this question, boy, okay, it's not trivializing anything. Let's be asking the question prior to asking the question. We have been. Paul and I have been discussing.

Can we actually do this or not without people going crazy? Who is having the worst week? Oh, boy, obviously Tiger Woods is not having a good week, not trivializing anything that happened there, you know, whatever type of notice I have to give right now, trigger warning. I don't know what it is, not saying making light of it because it's in the poll question.

But these are people or groups of people that are having a bad week. Old disclaimer, Tiger Woods, you know, clearly having a bad week, you know. And what I could consider the worst professional week of all time, CB Buckner is having a horrible week. So he's the umpire, and he is not a big fan of ABS because he's not a big fan of getting

calls right there apparently, he's he's getting called out for not calling the right calls. Yes, Paul. Over the course of the weekend, umpire, CB Buckner had a couple games where he made a call and it was reviewed and went against him and it played out on social media. He was a random umpire that I don't think most people knew and he got a little famous

the past couple days.

Then he had a call last night where someone stepped on first base and he said the player

did not and he clearly did and Buckner's in position to see it, it's hard to know what happened there. He could have that, that base on it could have dropped kicked first base and it wouldn't have been more obvious that he stepped on first. It's one thing to screw up the balls and strikes, but they had him at first base and he screwed

up over there. It's like we got to find a place where we can hide him. Yes, Todd. When do you step away versus being, being fired by Major League Baseball, if you realizing this keeps happening, you keep getting calls wrong.

I know it's your livelihood and you may have a family and you can't just walk away from a paycheck. But at some point, you can really wait for Major Baseball to say you're done. This is terrible. You're not going to get fired.

He's got a union behind him, they're not going to fire. Now they might take away assignments, but they're not going to fire. I mean, there are umpires who made a career out of missing calls, so now you just have the automated balls and strikes, and there are a few umpires who are being called out, because now we know your name.

Yes, Todd. Our umpires do you think in general, more annoyed or relieved by the ABS system, because I think you can make both arguments. What do you think?

I think they're more annoyed by it, but I could totally understand being off.

If I screw up, I'm not going to ruin the whole thing because they'll just change it to the right call and they won't come kill me on our call. That could determine a playoff spot or something. All right. Thank you, Todd.

Well, it's a weird thing because one random umpire has a bad weekend, and it becomes

The face of the entire system.

It also proves it's working at the same time, but someone has to be, you know, take the hit for it. Yeah. I understand it. I know the umpires are being embarrassed, but you know, as I pointed out yesterday,

so was the guy who's there, and that's strike three, and it's a bad call, but you have to do the walkers shame back to the dugout, nobody goes, boy, that guy got embarrassed on a bad call. We know the umpires now they have to relearn the strike zone, because everybody, they allowed umpires to have their own interpretation of a strike zone, which is crazy.

It should be here is the uniformity of it. This is it. Now get used to it, and this is going to fast track, I think, to take it completely out of the umpires hands, that next year, that way, the umpire can, you know, still be a hero.

He can be back there, and nobody's going to, you know, test his credibility, because these are balls and strikes that are automated, and everybody wins. Then we have fun with it up on the screen. We're not calling time out, you know, for a review, everybody will win with this. Yes.

A sort of interesting side effect of the ABS is that, you know, take that call in the

Brewers game last night, or see we walk there, do clearly steps on first.

He gets it horribly wrong. What you're expecting is the manager to come flying out of the dugout and tearing him a new one, because you can't fix the call. You can't fix it. It's just a bad call, and then you spend the next month pissed about that one bad call

at first.

Remember that guy, how did they get that call wrong, and instead now it's fixed in 90

seconds? Yeah. Because I was like, okay, well, let's go take a look at it, replay. Okay, did step on. All right, next play.

If the goal is to get all the calls right, and you have the technology, they can use the technology. It's not supposed to be used like that, like, like what? Like that, right, the goal is to get the calls right. That was, there should be no reason for instant replay in that situation.

No, he should. Yeah, she'll write it. Yes. That's not one of those. I don't know.

Well, hey, thank God, we got the system to get these calls right, because there's no way the human eye could have kept up with the speed of that play. You know, I, I don't know. That was bang bang. I mean, hey, I mean, look, I'm doing the best you can, okay?

You can do it. You can do better. Marvin.

Stepinal first is not subjective.

Like all. I think he did. God, that was wise. I know. I know.

You're watching your goal. Wait, what happened here?

Like, all right, let me say, like you start, you know, you lean into your computer

a little closer. Let me see if he stepped up. Yeah. Yeah, he did. Yes, pulling.

I'm watching it again. It's almost like the hurly thing. You're watching. You don't know what you're seeing. The second baseman throws well past first and the ball goes towards the dugout.

But the first base, umpire, buckner is six feet away from first base. The guy hits first base fully, not like toe or heel. He like lands on the bag instead of the middle of it. Yeah.

And then he says he never touched it.

And the home plate on par has to do the announcement. Oh, my God. Plus, you can hear somebody hit the bag. I can hear it now. Yeah.

Right. I hear you. Yes, Todd. So maybe you don't get fired.

But you got to be called into the office.

You would think, and then what is your explanation for missing something that blatantly when the head of officials are someone to majorly baseball, sit you down and go, let's take a look at this. What? How did you totally miss that?

Well, you get graded after every game. All of these officials do NFL, baseball, you know, NCAA, you get graded. And they go over, you know, your percentage of calls, um, right, wrong. So look, umpires are probably 96, 97 percent correct. But we're focusing on those other ones.

And if I'm an umpire, it's like, hey, let's fast track this ABS, okay. It takes away a little of the, you know, gesturing I get to do or the personality I get to show when I call somebody out. But I'd rather have that than be embarrassed behind home plate. Wait, you know, when you're an umpire and all of a sudden you see that guy tap his helmet,

you know, in your head, you're probably saying, you can, are you, stop it, yes. And yeah, the problem for umpires, too, is that back in the day, if a dude complained too much, you'd be like, I know, problem. My strike zone just got a lot, watch, watch what happens the next time you're up in the privately in their head.

They could be like, this dude's not getting a call for the rest of the game now. But now they can't do that. They can't do that little bit of petty revenge. Yes, Todd. Think about that in any other line of work, you're in a meeting, a presentation, you're

doing any kind of job. And someone could just tap their head and say, you're wrong, that's stupid what you just said. And we're going to show you on. So I could do that right here.

You're doing that very often. You're going to get a concussion. I mean, all right, let's take a break. We'll, uh, we'll take some time. We'll add or subtract to the poll question.

More candidates who had the worst week because I would say the entire country of Italy, probably would be on that list as well. After the World Cup yesterday.

Mamma Mia.

How shocking, though?

Well, let me take a break.

Mamma Mia.

Jimmy Scunjeele, Tommy Calamari Italy is not in the World Cup.

I'd be saying that to my wife who's Italian, she goes, okay, all right, okay, all right. Jimmy Scunjeele, Tommy Calamari. Okay. Let's go over well. No, they didn't get it.

No, no. Yeah, she didn't. No. Patrick, would you just stop it? Yeah.

At all. Let's take a break. We're back after this.

Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick Show Weekdays at 9 AM Eastern 6 AM Pacific

on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. It's me, Rob Parker. Check out my weekly MLB podcast inside the parker for 22 minutes of Python-Hop Facebook

Talk featuring the biggest names and newsmakers in the sport, whether you believe in analytics

or the I test, we've got all the bases covered. New episodes drop every Thursday, so do yourself a favor and listen to inside the parker with Rob Parker on the I Heart Radio app or whatever you get your podcast. Ready for a different take on Formula One? Look no further than no grip, a new podcast tackling the culture of motor racing's most

coveted series. Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-explored pockets of F1. Including the astrology of the current grid, Louis Hamilton, Capacorn Sun, Cancer Moon, what didn't you know it? Michael Schumacher is also a Capacorn Sun Cancer Moon.

The story of the sportsman's consequential driver strike. We have one man who upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom and was Dan to record his illustrious F1 career a success story, a cautionary tale or some combination of both. He started getting all of this attention and he may be started to think I'm bigger than

this. I'm better. And plenty of other mishab scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no grip on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcast. I'm Lori Siegel, a longtime tech journalist and consider my new podcast mostly human, your bridge to the future, anyone can now be an entrepreneur, anyone can build an app and it's very empowering. Each week, I'll speak to the people building that future and we're going to break

down what all of this innovation actually means for you. What I come to realize is that when people think the day of dating these AI companion, they're actually dating the companies that create this. We're experiencing one of the greatest tech accelerations in human history. And let's be honest, that can be messy.

There's no playbook for what to do when an AI model hallucinates a story about you. But it's my belief that we should all benefit from this moment. Mostly human will show you how. My goal is to give you the playbook, so you can benefit. The reason I say agency is because like if you can give power back to people, then I think

that's probably the best thing we can do for your mental health.

Listen to mostly human on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. If you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, Flagrant and Funny. You look at the top four number one seeds, what do you think UCLA is going to do right down that for me, my friend?

Obviously, you kind of see over well with the favorite in this tournament, but I, the honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon, and that right after that would be Texas. S&C is so deep and so thick and just about everything, I really is annoying.

So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU, only once I could possibly upset Yukon. On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments, the conversations everyone's having, so whether you're bracket is busted, or you just want the latest on the tournament. We got you.

Like Grin and Funny with Carrie, Champion and Jamal Hill on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you picture podcasts. Presented by Capital One, Founding Partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Usually, on this podcast we'll kill you, we talk about the diseases, infections, and biological threats that can make us really sick.

But right now, we're doing something a little different. We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep going. When you consider what we know about sleeping humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does.

Why our bodies don't follow neat rules and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by.

The second half of our series takes us to the digestive system with a multi-part series

on what happens after we eat. Okay, I just have to say that all of my favorite words apparently are digestive. Yeah. It's fink-dern. Parenthesis.

Do what? It's fascinating.

It's funny, and it matters so much more than you think.

Episodes of our new series run from January 20th through February 17th with new episodes every Tuesday on the exactly right network. Listen to this podcast we'll kill you as part of the exactly right network on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Got a poll question.

We conferred during the commercial break what candidates would we put on that list?

Who had the worst week? Satan would you recap the candidates and who we're adding to the list? Yes, right now, who is having the worst week? Did not in a way to trivialize and I have a little bit of a tiger woods. CB Buckner, Italian soccer, for not making the world cup again, or Duke basketball.

Ooh. Okay. Well, tiger is the obvious answer. I don't know. That's a bad week.

That it is. It's embarrassing week. I'm going to I would say Italy because that's an entire country. This is their sport.

They have great players on their team and they didn't make the world cup for the third consecutive

world cup. That's not good. That's, that's 12 years. That's a bad week. Yes, Paul.

It's Italy. That's not that close. Tiger Woods will come back. He's all set career-wise. It doesn't hurt his legacy on the course. He doesn't have that kind of infraction. But Italy, they now have three years and 12 months to get another chance.

So it's not like Duke can come back next year. Wait, isn't that three years and 12 months? That's four years? Yeah. Did you mean to say 11 months?

No, it's three years and 12 months which would make it.

I think I was actually trying to say three years and 14 months.

Okay. It's like Will Ferrell and Old School when he's trying to debate. He kind of has that head thing. I was like three years, 12 months. Okay.

You can't talk about that. That means you're sharp. I would've initially said Tiger, but because even whether he came up with it or someone told him he needs to do that, putting out that press release that at least it appears that he's looking to get help.

I would remove Tiger, she ran the list, but he wouldn't be my first choice. I would go Italy over Tiger because of that press. And I'm glad that he's getting help.

Here's the big concern that I have is he's always going to have this pain.

The rest of his life, you know, I was on prednisone. Anybody who's been on prednisone on and off for 12 years and it's mood swings, it's bad for you. But it takes away all of the pain and, you know, can he do a lesser drug that does not impair him when he's driving or trying to golf or just be normal.

He's going to have all of that pain, all of that and it's only going to get worse with the arthritis and that would be the biggest concern when you off of that. But what am I going to prescribe for you? This obviously he's, you know, taking these drugs because of the pain that he has where you get addicted to that feeling of taking these drugs for the pain that you have.

I had to be weed off prednisone. So I was doing 60 milligrams. They would make you drop down 55 and then it was 50 and I mean, it was a whole process. I got down to 10 milligrams, they made me go 9, 8, you know, and that's just prednisone. And that's, you know, routinely prescribe for people, but it's not good for you.

You can't stay on it long term. So Tiger's going to have that the rest of his life and that would be the big concern. Even if you go to rehab, what are you going to do for his body? What can he do that doesn't lead him back to this? Yes, Paul.

I also wonder not to overanalyze, but when I see how jacked he is while having a bad back and bad knees and legs, I wonder if that's healthy. It's a lifestyle to be addicted to looking like an NFL defense, a back at 50. Well, it looks great. I don't know if that's good for flexibility and health and pain.

8773DP show email address dpadampattery.com, Twitter handle at dp show will hear from Mike Florio.

He's at the NFL meetings, not the owner's meetings, but it's basically the owner's

meetings. So we'll talk to Florio coming up top of the hour. Yes, time. Go at league meeting, every column I'm looking at, instead of owners meetings, it's league meeting, they met over three days or they're in the process in Phoenix.

Well, after one day shouldn't it be meetings? Well, it's the owners are there, GMs are there, coaches are there.

I guess that's why in the NFL is holding it, so the league meetings, not owners meeting.

And they're calling it singular. I would think if it's a one day event, it's a meeting. If you're having multiple days, you could throw the S on there.

Wouldn't be a big deal.

But doing the whole Stanley Cup final finals thing.

The things that bother you, the thing, do you want to bring up?

No, I thought it was owners meetings too, but it's league meeting. Yes, Paul. Real quick, Grammar-wise, the NFL is saying meeting as if the entire weekend is a meeting. And there's multiple meetings underneath that umbrella. So from a Grammar standpoint, I think they're correct.

I was a good explanation, I could buy that. That works for me. The seven foot nine kid, Olivier Rue, he is transferring. Yeah, he just entered the portal after one year at Florida. Did he have to duck to get into the portal?

Okay. All right. That's way to seven nine. What? Yeah.

Seven nine. And he didn't play a lot. It's weird that you're seven nine. You really can't play big-time basketball. Yeah, Paul.

You played basketball. He's seven nine and not very mobile. Is the reason he didn't play because he can't play in the flow of a college basketball offense and defense? Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I would start there. I mean, Taco Fall could play, you know, he was a starter in college. But you know, this kid played in 11 games, but not he didn't start. He got minutes, but you're seven nine. Dang.

Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you go to a small school if you're. Yeah.

Okay. So we're talking about this kid who's seven nine, who's going to be transferring. And Todd had a different thought on being seven nine because I said, hey, when you're done with basketball, you're going to be seven nine, the rest of your life. And then Todd offered up this.

That really hit a chord with me. I'm like, yeah, you're stuck like that basketball, not basketball, your whole life. You're that heighten is nothing you can do about it. So I wonder if one day they may be some kind of surgery or medical procedure like they do it in spire where you can press a button for sleep after they put inside your chest

but they can do something with your spine where you can control your height. You can make yourself at will and they take a few minutes as you're elongated or shrunk down like an accordion and they can do something to make you taller or shorter. And this was a real question. There's a legitimate question.

Yes. And I thought, well, a wonders of modern medicine. It's kind of like a height version of OZEMPIC that you're going to make you shrink a little by that. It's a very good example you just presented.

Yes, Paul. Okay. And you saw my reaction. He's question to the morning meeting. I almost passed out in frustration.

I could take a little shot in my stomach in a matter of months. I could be 150 pounds right here. But your weight can fluctuate. Generally your height does not fluctuate once you hit about 25 years old. I can't believe I'm actually saying this all day.

I can't believe I'm saying this all day. Yes. But Seaton's eye roll is usually the best. He doesn't say anything and he'll just be like, and then I think you covered your face after touch and then you're like, okay, man, I mean, our lifetime, but eventually

everyone knows today I want to be six, six, you have to be five, 10 tomorrow.

But OZEMPIC. Because you mentioned, like, if we're like the jet engines in my car folded and it's all like that. I thought that would be interesting. Is that how I sound?

I mean, I wrote it to keep it all over when you just keep going through this. That's almost as a day in front of Cali. Yeah. There was a portrait of her. When you get fired up.

And there was nothing in the world to say. I was going to talk about it. I would be like, all right, thank God for Todd. But like there's plenty to talk about. Plenty of stuff to talk about.

There's a million stories that we're not even touching. What do you mean? What do you mean? I'm starting to be tall. I'm starting to be tall.

I'm starting to be tall. I'm starting to be tall. I'm starting to be tall. I'm starting to be tall. If that's how I sound.

I should never talk to anyone.

I know you would all love. No, no. I need your contributions. I do. But realistic contributions.

No. I don't think it's that far-fetched.

You have to be press a button to make me not seven foot seven nine anymore.

You just press about somebody implant something in you that shrinks your bones down to it. Not real high. It's a structural. Some type of spinal surgery.

I would act like an accordion. So like you have an elevator. Yeah. What about the rest of you? The rest of you look kind of weird.

It's not your femur. That's still. That's seven nine arms. Your arms. Right.

It would look a little odd. Imagine Olivier Rue is now six one, but it's all short torso. In the rest of him, these big ladders come out of his head. If you don't want to be seven nine, that badly. Cool.

Grab him. This is very cute. I press. Hey. Can you hear me?

Yes, Chris. How you doing, Dan? Good. Yeah. What's going on?

Hey. Hey. Thank you. Thanks for calling me back.

Hey, first time in a long, well, not in a long time.

Obviously, the doctors mistake it first base, I wonder if he's related to Bil...

And first, a shout out to my second nephew, Shilo, who got a secondary assist in his

pee. We hockey game last night in the third period, and also, no, no, wait, wait, second period. And as far as the final four, I like Duke to be cutting down the next Sunday night, even though they do have a couple of boosters on the team. And that's how I've been drinkers.

Oh. Hey, Chris, who are you imitating? I think it's April Fool's Day. I know. But are you, I'm doing everything that I shouldn't be doing.

Okay. Come on, Dan. What do you do, Dan? It's a little off-packed since Girl Scout Cookies season is kind of over.

But when you're watching a game, what's your favorite Girl Scout Cookie to be Nationan?

Mine's the peanut butter once.

I love those. Thank you. Thank you, Chris. Is this sour shoes? You're doing a Chris and Syracuse impression?

I don't know. I wasn't sure. Chris and Syracuse ish April Fool's. Yes. Yes, Mark.

Hey, callers. Don't do a Chris and Syracuse Day. We love Chris and Syracuse. Paul and California. I Paul.

What's on your mind? Yeah. Hello.

I just want to defend you for a little bit.

I'm wondering if Davis, Uber Davies? Yeah. Okay. And I'm wondering if Reggie would have kept Hugo, they let me for North Carolina. If Duco wins the whole thing next year, how patient are they going to be with the

new coach? I guess you're talking about Reggie Miller yesterday, but Reggie's not with us today. Thank you, Paul. I don't have anything to offer. I don't have contacts at North Carolina, any insight information there, but it's taking

them a while and it feels like there's somebody who is coaching, still coaching, who's going to be the next head coach at North Carolina. Now, that could be Billy Donovan with the bulls, but it feels like one of these coaches is going to be the next head coach at North Carolina and they're still coaching now. But as far as Uber Davies, yes, he went to a national title game and then two years later,

he's fired. Yes, more.

Would you go outside of the North Carolina family to hire a new coach?

I just want the best candidate and I don't get caught up all he's not one of us, you know, ask Michigan about Brady Hook, you know, get the right guy, you know, Juan Howard, get the right guy, not our guy, yeah, Paul. You want to become a member of the UNC family, go to the final four. They'll adopt you quickly, nobody cares if it's a Jerry Stackhouse or a known aim from

blank school. Yeah. Fans don't care. Dusty Mae from Michigan, if he's available, you'll take him. He's an Indiana who's your, all right, and he would be lucky to get him.

But from what I'm told that athletic director at Michigan has already said to him, he wants him to coach as long as he wants to coach at Michigan. He's going to wrap him up to make sure he doesn't leave, which would leave maybe Tommy Lloyd in Arizona would be the next head coach. All right.

Let me take a break more phone calls coming up and our play of the day next Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk line up in the nation, catch all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio.com. And within the IHard Radio App Search, F.S.R. to listen live. Ready for a different take on Formula One, look no further than no grip, a new podcast tackling

the culture of motor racing's most coveted series. Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-export pockets of F1, including the astrology of the current grid.

Louis Hamilton, Crap the Corn Son, Cancer Moon, wouldn't you know it?

Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Son, Cancer Moon. The story of the sports was consequential, driver strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career a success story, a cautionary tale, or some

combination of both? He started getting all this attention and he may be started to think, "I'm bigger than this. I'm better." And plenty of other mishab scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful,

decadent, gumster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no grip on the IHard Radio App, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Lori Siegel, a longtime tech journalist, and consider my new podcast mostly human, your bridge to the future. Anyone can now be an entrepreneur, anyone can build an app, and it's very empowering.

Each week, I'll speak to the people building that future, and we're going to break down what all of this innovation actually means for you. What I come to realize is that when people think that they're dating these AI companion, they're actually dating the companies that create this.

We're experiencing one of the greatest tech accelerations in human history, a...

be honest, that can be messy.

There's no playbook for what to do when an AI model hallucinates a story about you. But it's my belief that we should all benefit from this moment. Mostly human will show you how. My goal is to give you the playbook, so you can benefit. The reason I say agency is because, like, if you can give power back to people, then I think

that's probably the best thing we can do for your mental health.

Listen to mostly human on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.

If you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've

got you covered on the podcast, flagrant, and funny. You look at the top four number one thieves, what do you think UCLA is going to do right down there for me, my friend? Obviously, you kind of see over well, my favorite. In this tournament, but I'm the honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas experts

are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to you con, and that right after that would be Texas, SEC is so deep and so thick and just about everything, I really is annoying.

So with UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU, only once I could possibly upset you con.

On flagrant, if any were giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments, the conversations everyone's having, so whether your bracket is busted, or you just want the latest on the tournament, we got you. Listen to flagrant and funny with Carrie, champion, and Jamel Hill on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep going.

And you consider what we know about sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by.

The second half of our series takes us to the digestive system with a multi-part series on

what happens after we eat. Okay, I just have to say that all of my favorite words apparently are digestive. Yeah. It's a sphincter, parent stools. It's fascinating, it's funny, and it matters so much more than you think.

Brought to you by the great folks at tirewack.com, the way tire buying should be for over 40 years, helping you find the right tires for how and what and where you drive ship fast and free, go to tirewack.com, the way tire buying should be.

Seat and would you update the poll results, please?

Yeah, we were just putting it up there, because we landed on these suggestions, who's having the worst week Tiger Woods, CB Buckner, Italian soccer, or Duke basketball. These are constantly shifting results pending. Chico and Baltimore, hey Chico, then I'll see you guys on here now, hey, I have all the coaching and what you were saying about North Carolina, which you see, Quincy Nighter's main gate mentioned probably. I don't think North Carolina would bring a Duke guy in, and that would be awkward.

Very good coach, but I don't see that happening. Brought to North Carolina, hi, Brad, what's on your mind today? Hey, what up, D.P. Quincy Nighter Hell now, but not the reason for my call, I just want to weigh in kind of on tire. For the better part of my life, Dan, I've struggled with that alcohol addiction, and for the last 10 years, I've made three attempts to get sober and by the grace of God for the last 161 days I've achieved that. But it took me Dan's realizing that addiction is about power and powerlessness, and Tiger's going to have to come to the realization that he is powerless over his addiction, and that's got to be something unbelievably difficult for someone who has had so much control in his life.

For me, it took turning my life over to a power greater than me, and in that ...

Or it's just a terrible cycle.

Yeah, and I wish you well, Brad, but most people who get into that position, you know, Pete Rose had a gambling problem, but Pete's not seeking help, and so you have people who their minds are wired that way.

That's what made them great, they don't give up, you know, they don't listen out of the people, they don't have to.

CB in Austin, high CB, and how's it going? Good, hey, oh, I'm Tiger, why did he not have a personal driver, what's he doing driving himself around? I get the whole medication problem, I get it, it's terrible when he needs to figure it out, but why is he driving himself around? Well, because he wants to have privacy, he may be going to get something or do something that he doesn't want somebody. You know, if you're Tiger, you probably don't trust anybody, and especially a driver does, he'll have stories to tell.

Plus, he probably doesn't think, you know, that he's impaired when he's driving, look at it the other times he's been driving.

Wait, Phil was sleep behind the wheel. How do you get to that point? I don't think, yes, he can afford a driver. But he probably doesn't want that driver to know what he's doing. Yes, see. Plus, like, you don't think an Uber driver is going to be like, hey, I just drive Tiger Woods off at the pharmacy again. You know what I mean? Like, they're going to, those people don't sign NDAs. Well, Prince had a driver, and they had Prince getting out going into a pharmacy when, you know, he was getting drugged.

It's even the drivers that you pay to under $50,000 a year, sell you out for that 10k to let whatever news organization know that you're going to be at this place, because they want that expert 10k. Because so many people say, he can afford a driver. Yes, he can afford a driver, but maybe he doesn't want that driver to know what he's doing.

Joey and Minnesota, hi, Joey.

Winning Dan Danett, that the April Fool's Day, calling in with a autographs drive and hanging on to for a hot minute here. Mr. Grant Hill, frequented a veil Colorado mountain restaurant that you used to work at. I'd served him a couple of years running kind of planned ahead, kept one of his cards in my locker at work. So, the next year comes around, he shows up with his family, run in my locker, flip the card into the check, presenter with the check. With the Sharpie, I just hand in the check, very nicely he told them, you know, there's something we're lecturing there, if you don't mind.

He looked up at me with a big smile, and nobody even noticed, he signed it for me. I just thought it was a cool story, and I wanted to hear any other unique autograph stories you guys have heard or you might have. Well, Grant Hill's one of the nicest people you ever meet. It just truly a nice person, so I'm not surprised at them. Had an awkward moment last night at dinner, I had the waiter say to me, hey, somebody has been waiting to get a picture with you.

And I said, okay, so I look around and there was a couple that they were seated behind me at the bar.

So I get done with my dinner, I get up, I walk over to them, and I say, would you like to get a picture with me?

Well, the guy goes, no, and I go, oh, so I look back at the waiter, he goes, not them. It's like a curvy enthusiast. Yes, so I then got my picture taken with the other people at the restaurant, and then I went back to the couple to say, hey, they wanted, they wanted my picture. They wanted my picture, you know, I'm sorry, because he said, I didn't know if you were going to take a picture of us. Like I was saying, hey, do you want a picture?

Like I was going to be the photographer. But yeah, a little awkward there. White got a laugh out of it. She was not everybody knows you. I didn't.

It's not my fault. It's the waiter's fault. It made it seem like everybody knew me. Zach and Knoxville. Hi, Zach, what's on your mind?

Amy, thanks for taking my call. I just was wondering, if Todd would have said three years and 12 months, do you think the show might have just exploded shut down? Yes, we do great on a curve here. But Todd does say more dumb things. Questionable.

That's the best way you can dress that up.

John, that's the way we're going to go with. Like the number of non-sequitors that we have in the morning meeting would be would drive you crazy.

Todd does say questionable things.

How's that? Sometimes they're unique or engaging.

But if we want to roll with that one, I guess that's the best way to do it.

I think the height thing where it's basically your body's an elevator and you can go up to how how high does the body go up to like 10 feet.

I'm sure there's a time someone said, wait a second. I'm going to take a little shot in my stomach. And I'm going to go from 430 to like 208 as that can happen. That's ridiculous. But that's not structurally.

You're talking about somebody's spine. I'm just saying general of that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't do this. No, I can't.

It's stupid. It's dumb. Yes, Paul. I reached out to a doctor. No, the doctor doesn't want his name.

He's on air. But this is a doctor of endocrinology. He says, if you're really short, there's different hormones and things you could be given to become, hopefully become taller.

That's commonplace. Yes.

He said that's, he's never heard of anyone trying to be shorter.

Like when they're seven, they think they're going to be seven feet. And they try to be shorter.

And then the other question about could you remove parts of people spine to make them shorter?

You guys, I don't know how to answer that. Medically. Back to you. No, Todd. No.

I'm not saying it. No. Mike Florio joins us next. Ready for a different take on Formula One?
