I'll take you to some wild corners of the tech world. I'm about to go on a date with an AI companion and a real world cafe right here in New York City.

There's no playbook for what to do

when an AI model 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, "Mostly Human" on the "I Heart Radio App,"”

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. This is one of the most dramatic events that really ever happened in New York City politics. A screen good-down, good-down, blows a shot. 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 at City Hall on the "I Heart Radio App," Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, Bachelor Star Clayton Eckard was accused of fathering twins,

but the pregnancy appeared to be a hoax.

"You doctored this particular test twice in silence, right?" "I doctored the test once." It took an army of internet detectives to uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. "Regglesby and, I could mention it."

"My mind was blown." "I'm Stephanie Young." "This is Love Trap." "Lora scoffed the police."

Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-explored pockets of F1. Including the story of the woman who last participated in a Formula One race weekend, the recent uptick in F1 romance novels, and plenty of 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 podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. Final hour on this Thursday, it'll be busy. You can head coach Dan Hurley will stop by,

and we'll talk to Mac McClung, of course the slam dunk champion, and now the all-time leading score in the G-League Baseball opening day. You'll find it on NBC and peacock. It'll be the Pirate's Paul Scheme's visiting the Metz,

then in prime time the Diamondbacks against the Dodgers. That'll be tonight on NBC and peacock. 8773D P-Shill, more phone calls coming up. Seaton, poll question for the final hour is what? Yeah, we got a bunch of them up there right now.

NFL season open on Wednesday night. Most people really don't care. Followed very closely, though. I hate it a few people love it. Let's say we put up a controversial one here.

Which clip cost us the Emmy? Of the five options that we have, Dan telling Derek Henry, he'll get into a Sandler movie, Bo Jackson discussing the importance of colon cancer screening, Miz showing Paulie how to chop Dan,

reacting to Michael Jordan's take on low demand management, or Matt Friend doing impressions. Right now Matt Friend doing impressions has a pretty good lead on this. It's a complicated poll question though. So that's a tough one.

And then we also put up there the best places to watch baseball are called Park Field or Stadium. You know, Fenway Park, Yankee Stadium, Ridley Field, those kinds of things. Park right now is leading with 59% of the vote followed by Field and then Stadium. Yankees over the giant seven nothing in the season opener last night in San Francisco.

And judge over five with four strikeouts. Sweet 16 starts tonight. It'll be Texas Purdue, Iowa, Nebraska, Arkansas, Arizona, Illinois, and Houston. He's Mac McClung. He is a part of the Wendy city bulls and the all time leading score in G league history.

Were you aware of that record the other night when you put up 59?

It was a really cool moment, man.

“I think my teammates, they were, they're like you're getting this record tonight.”

So they had my support and they really wanted me to break it. So it was a really cool moment. How much could you score in a game? The 59 was pretty exhausting. I don't know how much more I could do than that.

So I'd probably say that's close to my limit. So you can't go 83 like Bam out of Bile. I haven't done it yet, man. I don't know that's incredibly impressive. I think no matter what the situation is.

So that was really cool. What are you told? Because we see your abilities. But what do teams tell you when you get a 10 day contract or you're brought up for a little while and then you go back to the G league?

Yeah. It's kind of different in every situation. I think, you know, being in the situation where you're fighting to find a roster spot, you can, different teams need different things. So whatever it is, I try to adapt and do that.

You know, and it's been tough, man. A lot of times I've been told, you know, you're an MBA player. Like, a coach I had actually won year. You know, being on a two-way year at the bottom of the roster. You made the roster, but you're kind of a guy that goes back and forth.

And I had a coach tell me one year he's like, man, you're an MBA player. Like, all you need an opportunity. And like, almost like, was laughing. I was like, you got to give me that opportunity. Really, I'm just trying to make the most of whatever this situation is.

It's tough, man. Well, you hear about, you don't play defense or you're not good at playing defense. You're not good off the ball. Like, these are things that have been said. Are those fair criticisms?

You know, my two games this year. When I got, I called up the minute year. I got legit minutes. I was actually leading the league in steel. So I don't know if I agree with that totally.

So it's tough.

There's always going to be something, man.

I feel like that's the thing I've been trying to do in the G League. I just show like, oh, you said this wasn't that. Well, that's not the case. And some people are always going to say certain things, man. But I've really got a lot of love and respect from, you know, peers in the league.

That I really appreciate and coaches in the league that I really looked up to. That was my situation. What was your welcome to the NBA moment? Um, I would say with the with the Lakers, that was where I started. And that team was LeBron, Carmelo, Rondo, Dubai Howard.

And I was just like, I'm this kid from this small town and get the city out. Like, what am I in some video game right now? So that was shocking and something I had to adjust to for a couple days. Did you get to keep the uniform? Yeah, absolutely.

I always try to make sure I keep that and have it, you know,

“so my kids hopefully can see it when they do you introduce yourself to LeBron or does he say hello to you?”

Um, I would definitely introduce myself. And, um, yeah, I don't think he, uh, in that situation he would ever have to introduce himself to me. So, you know, it was an honor being just a part of that and getting to see some things. But are you a star struck on the floor when you're playing? Like, I'm guarding this guy that I grew up watching.

Did you have that moment? I think in my first year, you know, you just adjust to that. I think at the end of the day, we're all competitors and you want to win and you kind of flip that switch once you get on the floor. But you, there's a level of respect, you know, when you're a little kid and you watch someone and they mean something to you. They make you love the game that you're always going to have for those people.

Do you think, uh, you're too good at dunking, that it overshadowed. You was a basketball player that maybe you were looked at as he does that. And not maybe being fair to your actual basketball game. I think that that could be, um, maybe something from the outside of I. But like, these scouts and these teams like their job is to know basketball players.

So I think anybody that like knows basketball, like, that is just something I got to be a part of. And I'm incredibly grateful for all of you into it. You know, like, that was such a cool thing that I got to do.

There's, I'm never going to be like, oh man, I hate dunking now because of that.

Like, that's a beautiful part of my life and I think, you know, the people that really love basketball and you're basketball, like, that's just a part of me that's not really who I am. He's smack McClung of the Wendy city bulls. Uh, but why not be in the slam dunk contest this year? Um, well, they quite friendly.

They didn't really want to hit it this year. So that was, it was like a, they wanted me in it and then some things happened. And, uh, you know, it kind of just went back and forth and at the end, they kind of didn't want me in the contest. So I'd already prepared.

“That's why I released those don't see on the social media because I'd already prepared.”

And I was like, well, you know, I teamed up with a company marketing. And I was like, well, I might as well make the most of this. But I'm just, was it, you weren't on a roster? Is that why they didn't want you in the slam dunk contest? No, I made the Chicago Bulls roster a, maybe a little bit before that.

Well, I don't know, they told me that it was, it was just a weird situation, man.

“I think they, they said a couple of guys didn't want to do it if I was in it.”

And I was like, okay. Well, I don't want to ruin that. Wait, why, why wouldn't they want to be in there? Because you were going to win? I don't know, man.

I feel like a lot of these guys are really talented. So that wouldn't make sense to me. I mean, a lot of things in this league don't make sense to me. I just, I'm just going with the flow, man. I really am just going with the flow.

How would you do Michael Jordan in his prime? You, in your prime, slam dunk contest? That's a tough question, Dan. I think the times have changed, like kind of like in the game of basketball, like everything progresses.

So I think if Michael Jordan was in this era, he would probably have so much different deluxe and so many creative things. So, I mean, I, I think I'd be a little crazy to say I'd take over MJ like that. And so, and I got a lot and so much respect and love for him.

I would never say that I'd beat him.

But it'd be fun. I would definitely take the challenge. It'd be a lot of fun. Have you met him? No, never met MJ before.

To be super cool, though. Can you leave from the foul line? Um, my best jumps are off to feet. When I was in high school, man, when I was younger. I used to be like that long ago, man.

You were really, you got, you got like viral famous in high school. It was like Zion Williamson, this guy, you know, everybody wanted to see those videos.

“Like, did you feel like a star when you were in high school?”

That was some crazy times. I was, I was in a town of 1,500 people. So everybody already kind of knew me. And it was, the cool part about it was when we would travel to different schools. They would like, school would like shut down early because people would be outside,

waiting for the games. And it kind of felt like we were the kind of like this band that was traveling. It was like me and my best friends, man. It was such a cool experience.

And, you know, you go on YouTube and like, oh, that got 2 million views last night.

It's just, it was, it was so weird being from a small town and like getting that attention. But it was really cool for me and my friends. So it was boy band. You were like, you know, new kids on the block or one dementia. What is it, one direction?

Yeah, we weren't that cool. But we were, it really did make us feel good. So what's the future? What are you 27? 27 years old.

The future for me, man. I'm not sure. I've really, like, kind of going back to this situation and the record. And my jeely career, like all I've tried to do, I will try to do is make the most of wherever I'm at in that moment.

And whether that be the don't contest, the opportunity I was given with that or being in the jeely. I've just tried to make the most of the situation. So I'm not attached any outcome. But just whatever happens is, I really truly believe I'm not a victim of anything, man. So whatever happens is, is, is how it's supposed to be.

Official heightened weight. I'm measured at the coma. I measured 6, 2, 1, 85. Okay. Maybe it looks better when you're shorter.

Like if you're 6, 6 doing that, it's not as impressive. Yeah. Maybe I maybe wish I was 6, 6. That would probably not. Yeah.

If you're 6, 6, you're not winning the slam dunk contest, but you're playing in the NBA. There we go. Well, that's, that's the interesting trade-off. Hey, it's been fun. Been entertaining. I hope you get that true shot, and where you get to actually play.

And, you know, prove a lot of these people wrong. So congratulations on the scoring record. That I really appreciate it, man. I appreciate you having me on. Thank you very much.

It's Mac McClung. He is the all-time leading score in jeely history. And I was looking at some of the things that analysts will say, or scouts will say, with Mac. And, you know, not a consistent outside shooter.

Not good off the ball. He's really good with the ball on his hands. And, and, of course, they bring up defense.

“Like defense is tricky, because are you good on the ball?”

Are you good playing the passing lanes? You know, Iverson wasn't good on the ball as much as he was playing passing lanes. You know, Gary Peyton was good on the ball. Like there's certain guys on the ball, and they played the passing lanes. But, you know, with Mac, as he's saying, look, I was leading the team and steals.

But, you know, and I thought maybe he could be, and I hate the stereotype, but like he could be a Peyton Pritchard.

But, you know, that second unit coming in, given you energy there.

But Peyton Pritchard can play on the ball. He can have the ball and be off the ball. He can be a catch and shoot guy. And I think, but I still like the Brooklyn Nets. Nobody cares about the Brooklyn Nets.

By the way, broke Iverson's state record scoring when he was in high school. And some of those videos with him, I mean, he is attacking people. When he's dunking, he's dunking in, show me a great dunker. I'll show you a great dunker who dunks in traffic. Yeah, Pauli.

Like you said, this guy's been around a long time. There was McClung highlights on social media. That was 10 years ago, and he got really well known when to Georgetown for a bit. It's just a weird thing how some players can't stick. It's apples and oranges.

But like, Jimmer for debt. Yeah. Jimmer for debt started seven NBA games. Yeah.

He played a few places and got a little bit of run, but never a commitment.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, and we had always go, oh, you know, Jimmer for that could be Steph Curry. No. He could.

Like Steph Curry is one of the great ball handlers of all time. One of the quickest shots of all time. Jimmer had range. Jimmer was great in college. Yes, more.

And Mack and Jimmer, the big thing that they have in common besides, you know, is they're smaller shooting guards. Yeah. So I think that's the thing. And Mack hit it on head.

If he was six, six. Yeah. There's not a question of whether he's on the NBA roster, too. Also, he's a guy with the who's ball dominant in the NBA. It's a lot of, I have the star.

But I need you to catch and shoot and make 50% of those three points shots that you're taking a game. Yeah.

“And you have to have him be Alan Iverson where you say you're going to be our,”

our point guard, but your, our scoring guard as well.

And you let him have the ball. Most teams aren't going to allow that to happen. And at this stage of his career, it's not going to happen. But if I'm Brooklyn, I bring him in. Last couple of weeks of the season.

I need him have some fun. Yes, more. He'd like down if he made you down if it was six, six, two. Yeah, no. Yeah.

But he's, he's a build. And he's solid six, two. Yes, Paul. Mack McClung should have pretended to be European coming out of high school. He sounds Irish and even Northern Irish.

McClung of it. McClung of it. Like Nick Stauskiss. Oh, and I K, Stowskiss. If it's NICK, you know, then we'd know American.

But he was NICK. Yes.

And he was born in Canada that helped a lot.

Yeah. Well, didn't help that much.

“I think Sacramento took him, but six overalls.”

Eighth overalls. So your Kings. Yeah, you loved it. Yeah. Nick Stauskiss.

All right. That was fun. I mean, I watched G league. And he went 54, then he went 59. That's.

I don't care where you're doing it. You're putting up points against guys who were great in high school. Probably really good in college. And you know, his average in 30 points again. All right.

We'll take a break. We'll talk to you. You can head coach Stan Hurley. More of your phone calls as well. And this final hour on this Thursday.

We're back after this. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick Show. Weekdays at 9 a.m. Eastern 6 a.m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio. And the I Heart Radio app. Walley, fools go here with Tony, fools go.

Yeah. As everybody knows, we're the host of the award-winning Paulian Tony, Fool's Go Show. Yeah. But instead of us telling you how great we are,

he is our Dan Patrick described us when he came on our show. Quick, knowledgeable, and funny, opinionated. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? Aren't the rough thing up promo?

Yeah. He wasn't talking about you. You took those clips totally out of context. Oh, yeah. Well, after this promo,

I'm going to take you out and beat you. Let me put this into context. Shut up. Yeah. Anyway, just listen to the Paulian Tony, Fool's Go Show.

On IOT Radio, Apple Podcasts. Oh, Reva, you get your podcast. Yeah. I'm Laurie 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. 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 part of the best thing we can do for your mental health.”

Listen to Mostly Human on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

A silver 40 caliber handgun was recovered at the scene.

From I-Hard Podcasts, and best case studios. This is Worshack, Murder at City Hall. Could this have happened in City Hall? Somebody tell me that. July 2003, Councilman James E. Davis arrives at New York City Hall with a guest. Both men are carrying concealed weapons.

And in less than 30 minutes, both of them. Both of them will be dead. And everybody in the chambers of dogs, a shocking public murder. A scream, good-down, good-down. Those are shots. Those are shots, good-down. A charismatic politician. You know, he just bent the rules all the time.

I still have a weapon. And I could shoot you.

And an outsider with a secret.

He alleged he was a victim of flat-down. That may have been not been political. That may have been about six. Listen to Worshack, Murder at City Hall, on the I-Hard Radio App, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, former Bachelor Star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal.

The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth.

“You knocked her this particular test twice in selling, correct?”

I knocked her the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Some likes the greatest disinfectant. They would uncover a disturbing pattern.

Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Olesby and I command you in it. My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is LoveTrap. Laura, Scott State of Police.

As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences.

“Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade?”

Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He's still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Waga Getting change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory.

I'm a culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman. And these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip. A Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under explored pockets of the sport. In each episode a different guest tonight will go deeper into the wacky miss-haps scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful,

decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no grip on the I-Hard Radio App, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, Blagrant and Funny.

“You want to start with the first version for the big kid coach of the year?”

Oh, what do you like to get? You're a Spartan, is that what I'm saying? So whether you're a bracket is busted, or you just want the real talk on what's happening during the tournament, open your free I-Hard Radio App, search Flagrant and Funny with Kerry Champion and Jamel Hill, and listen now. Presented by Capital One, the founding partner of I-Hard Women's Sports.

Sweet 16 tonight, it'll be Texas Purdue, Iowa, Nebraska, Arkansas, Arizona, Illinois, and Houston. The marquee matchup, or one of the marquee matchups on Friday night, will be Michigan State. And Yukon, that will be in Washington, D.C. head coach of the Yukon Huskies, Dan Hurley on his best behavior so far. No technicals, is this a concerted effort to be on your best behavior here? Not really, I'm pretty oblivious to the circumstances, but maybe I don't know.

I don't think I've ever gotten a technical in an NCAA tournament game. I would have to have my stat group, so I don't know. Maybe this time of year, everyone knows that everyone's watching. So, you know, the referees also got to be careful that they don't give me a week technical. Oh, I hope I didn't jinx you here for tomorrow night.

Yeah, Mick Crone and got one for clapping.

I didn't know what the obviously the prop bets, so I'm sure there were lots of them on.

I don't know what I went off at, but somebody wants some money.

“Are you now Dan Hurley, like Danny Hurley is that that's a previous life?”

No, I think maybe when I get into my 60s, I'll go back to Danny when I want to feel younger because I'm old. Maybe 70s I'll go back to Danny. Okay. All right. I know that you reached out to a lot of people when you considered the Lakers job.

You reached out to Tom Iso, who you faced tomorrow night. What did Coach say, because I know he was thinking about going to the Cavaliers. The, what was that the year? That LeBron left the Cavaliers. He was going to win in coach.

So, what advice did he give you on the Lakers job? Yeah, Mick Crone, your coach is, he, he walked me through. Just, you know, his, his thought process when he went through, you know, like the decision making of, of making that move to the NBA and, and the pros and cons. And, you know, he obviously, you know, at that time, you know, college was very different.

And, you know, the point that Coach had made to me was,

“you know, I think he really got to consider it or our sport right now.”

It's, you know, it's, it's so unregulated at such a mess. You know, that, you know, I would have considered this more now than I did back when college basketball, you know, was, you know, more regulated. So, but I, you know, coaches have been there for me on lots of different things. You know, and I've studied coach for a long time like I have all the great coaches, you know,

I've studied, you know, their films as a high school coach trying to learn, you know, favorite practice drills of Thomas O, anything on motivation and leadership, culture building, you know, I've studied all the great coaches and taken advice from all the great ones. Can you see yourself coaching at his age? I can't see myself coaching at his age, but I also can't see myself knock coaching.

You know, I like where you're part of teams and this is so, so much for a part of your identity.

I always say to myself, I can't believe these guys are coaching in their 70s.

Yeah. Yeah, but then, you know, then you find yourself coaching in your 70s. Like Patino, I mean, he's a lifer. I mean, these guys are, it's incredible to me, you know, like it really is, the energy level, how they, the thing about college, you know, college coaching college basketball is like,

you know, the head coach drives the organization. I mean, they drive it, drive it, drive it and are pushing everyone around them to the max. And, you know, obviously, you know, with the amount of years those guys put in, what they achieved and to still be pushing that hard and there's 70s incredible. Can you be out coached?

“I think that's a little bit of a, whoever won the game out coach the other guy thing.”

You know, I think I think it's more about matchups, especially this time of year. You know, you've got great coaches, coach and all 16 of these teams. You know, it all comes down to I think matchups, who's playing their best at this time of year. Half time adjustments and all that stuff, I think it's way way overrated. Talking to Dan Hurley, the Connecticut basketball coach.

They got Michigan State tomorrow night. St. John's getting a five seed after winning the big East is blank. Crap. You know, I mean, I mean, you know, Crap. And then having the, you know, the two big East teams, you know, in the same region.

You know, it's probably the same. You think that they were hoping that there would be a rematch. I mean, yeah, I mean, I think that they're definitely the committee. They got a weird sense of humor or they do a great job of trying to give the people what they want. And I think no matter how this weekend's up in, you know, in DC, you're going to get a lead eight game.

That's going to be, you know, it's going to be incredible when you've got, you know, Duke, you know, Rick Bettino and St. John's Yukon and Michigan State. I had somebody ask me this and I didn't know if they were joking. And I realized they weren't, they said, "Can Yukon be a Cinderella story?" As a juicy, I go, "No."

Well, I'll ask you. Are you a Cinderella story this year? No, I don't think so. I think we've been, you know, consistently, you know, consistently great the whole year.

You know, we haven't always, you know, we haven't performed in the championship moments.

So it'll be interesting to see how we respond this week. But, you know, we played, or we had as good a non-conference wins as anyone in the country. And then we went 19 and 3 in the Big East.

So, I do think, we're, you know, we're kind of coming in, you know, a lot quieter than we did in 23 and 24.

And that's probably serves us pretty well. I'm curious about the future of the mid-major here, Dan. Because I don't know if these last two years are an aberration or is that the future of the blue bloods are going to take over. And mid-major's are not going to be what they used to be.

“Yeah, well, I definitely think that, you know, I think it's going to get tougher for mid-majors.”

Because I think more high majors are going to spend more money in this offseason. So, I think it's going to get even tougher, I think, to make the answer by tournament. And then I think it's going to be tougher for the mid-majors. But then I also want to flip side.

I think you're going to see even more international players coming into college basketball.

I just think the inventory is going to grow as it makes more sense for international players that could make more money in college in America. And then that I think is just going to create more inventory of talent that the mid-major, you know, ends up with better players. And they could maybe win more of these early conference games. But I wonder, though, if you would rather get a transfer who has proven or you've got a high school kid. I mean, in the perfect world, I'd rather have the high school kid.

And I think the way that we try to do it is a majority of our team we want is homegrown boys that we developed a relationship with. We have a culture, we got a real connection, you got a real fabric of a team. And that supplement with what you need in the portal, or at least, you know, in most cases have multiple years with the transfer. So it doesn't feel so transactional and then feel like you've just put in together a mercenary squad. What's the most money somebody has asked you for?

Four and a half million, I think?

How does that conversation go? It doesn't actually go out with me because I'll meet with the agents to talk about the vision for the player. You know, on the official visit with the transfer or the high school player. They could sit in on, you know, how we plan to develop the player, how do we use him and the system, whatever. But once we get to, you know, any type of negotiating that just goes to the GM, Tom Moore.

And then he just kind of walks in and out of the board room telling me where the negotiations going. And then, you know, yeah, I try to stay out of that. I don't, you know, the negotiations get personal.

“How would you do coaching the Yukon women's team and how would Gino do well coaching the men's team?”

Well, I think you know what obviously do better coaching the men's team. Coach and the women because you know, because Gino's maybe the best coach of all time. So I would be, I don't, I would be more relaxed. Obviously, I wouldn't be. I would enjoy, I don't know, they've won 27 or 20 or 30 games this year by 25 points or more.

I don't know how I would handle that. I don't know what type of stress I would create. And, you know, what type of tension can I create there? It would probably make me crazy. I would long for a brutal loss at some point. You would, you would probably consult your wife a lot more.

I would, yeah, she would, yeah, she'd have a lot to say too. And she'd be constantly monitoring me. You would have to find somebody to yell at. And it'd be hard to find somebody to yell at on the women's team. Yeah, it would be, you know, and I don't know.

I, I, I, I, I, I, are the officials are mostly female. Or, I mean, it's, it was that half and a half. You know, I just, it'd be an adjustment. We do for a world. We watch the games tonight.

Yeah, you know, we'll, we'll keep these guys up and do, do video. It's, you know, the games can start for us close to nine. You know, so we, but, but last week, we played it.

“I think we started our first round game at 10 30 Eastern time.”

So our body clock is used to play in late at night. But yeah, I mean, only in years that I get eliminated early. Do I not watch, I, I, you know, I, I refuse. I, I, I, I, I, I boycott the tournament in years where we're, we're not in intention. Yeah, I understand that, you know, why, why put yourself through the agony of watching somebody

and you go, we're better than them. Yeah, and it's like, you know, when you're a little kid or something. And if you didn't get invited to a birthday party or a pool party or something in your neighborhood,

around the world? No one's doing that.

Is there something you, you want to tell me that you didn't get invited to the pool

parties in the neighborhood? Did anybody have a pool in Jersey City? There was one. There was one up at the top of the block. Right down, a couple of houses down from there.

It's, you know, buddy of ours, coaches at UCLA. And there was literally one pool in, in this, like, probably two block radius. And, uh, on the way to the park where my, where my dad and mom would put us through the drills. Me and my brother, the jump rope, the ball handling drills, the shooting drills in the heat

of summer. We had to kind of dribble past that pool while they were splashing around barbecuing, listening to music in, like, June, July, August. So, no scars. Yeah, but how many titles did those people win?

I mean, I don't think, I don't think they, uh,

yeah sports wasn't their deal.

“Wait, what's your mom putting you through drills with your dad?”

Yeah, because during a week, my dad, you know, he was a probation officer. You know, so during the summer, you know, my dad didn't teach at San Anthony. So he didn't get the summers off. So, you know, either me and Bob would write up the plan for today or my dad would have the, the workout written out.

Do you be brown box drills? The agility warm-up. I mean, we would make chalk, you know, exes on the court. So we could do our agility work. My mom would have a whistle.

And, uh, she would put us through the paces as the neighbor as people would be, uh, looking out at us in astonishment neighbors. So your dad probation officer, I'm going to guess pretty tough to get away with stuff in, uh, in your teens. Yes, get out.

I mean, yeah, you know, I mean, he, uh, just going up in Jersey City, you know,

the things that he did, uh, just as a kid that was raised in the street. And, uh, as an outside dog, uh, not an indoor dog. And, uh, I mean, he, uh, you know, and then being the probation officer kind of driving around with him when he would go on house calls trying to find, uh, uh, yeah, I guess his clients that had not come in to take, uh, you know,

the, the, the urine test or what have you just seeing growing men's scramble as the Dodge Caravan was driving down Martin Luther King Drive, you know, you, you know, you can't get away with stuff. But I wonder that had you been, you know, raised in the suburbs, as opposed to where you're raised.

Would you be, how different would you be or would you be different as a person as a coach player? I would be a lot different.

“I think the, you know, the advantage of growing up, you know,”

where we grew up growing up in the city, growing up in North Jersey, Jersey City, uh, you know, I just think you, you've got, uh, a real versatile, uh, relatable way about you, uh, you know, you feel like you could, you know, communicate with a, with a very diverse group of people from all different types of backgrounds.

I mean, Jersey City, I, I think next to Queens is the most diverse city in America. So, uh, you know, it's, you, you develop, uh, you know, a connection to all people. You're comfortable out on a street corner, but you're also you develop a comfortability, uh, uh, in the board room. Great to talk to you.

Do you have big plans for today? Uh, just, uh, the final prep. I mean, uh, this is actually a good time of your day, because the practice is a short, uh, the Hay is in the barn. And, uh, and you feel a lot less pressure this year.

You feel like, get to this weekend. You're back in contention. You know, you play in one of the best teams in the country in Michigan State. Uh, you know, let's, uh, it feels like a lot of pressure is off. Let's, let's let it go, Rip.

Did you just come on because you were bored today? Yeah, I do. I need time filling. Yeah. This brain right now needs distraction.

Oh, well, yeah. Hopefully I provided one for you. Uh, thanks. Great to talk to you. Good luck.

Tomorrow night. Appreciate you. That's, uh, Dan Hurley or Danny Hurley, depending on how old he is. Jersey City. Jersey City now is a whole lot different than Jersey City back when he grew up.

“Because I remember, I won't go into Jersey City.”

I remember when I was in New York in the early 80s. People talked about Jersey City. And it usually wasn't something good. Uh, let's take a break here. Last call for phone calls.

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.

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.”

“You doctor this particular test twice in silence, correct?”

I doctor the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Some like the greatest disinfectant. They would uncover a disturbing pattern.

“Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade?”

Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He's still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wag Getting change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory.

I'm a culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman. And these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip. A Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest tonight will go deeper into the Waggy mishab scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the real talk on what's happening during the tournament, open your free iHeart Radio App, search F1, and funny with Kerry Champion and Jamel Hill, and listen now. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports.

Last call for phone calls when we learn what's in store tomorrow. Final results of the poll question.

Would you be interested in the difference between the Dodgers and the second place team?

Yes, you would. The Dodgers to win the world series plus two-thirty. The Yankees plus one-thousand. Then it's the Mariners, Metz, Blue Jays, Red Sox, and the Phillies. Those are the latest odds, according to draft Kings.

But the Dodgers who will make their season debut coming up tonight against the Diamondbacks. You can watch that game on peacock and NBC, which is where you can find our program on peacock. Alrighty, let me see. This day in sports history. You know, we were thinking about this with Dan Hurley and Gino Oriema.

“Those are the two biggest personalities I think in college basketball.”

If you look what Gino's done with the women's team and then Dan Hurley with the men's team. Now there's other, Rick Patino's personality, John Kelly Perry's personality. But I don't think they're on the level of personality. Like winning in personality together, you know, that's Dan Hurley. And now you can say he's polarizing, you know, he can be petulant.

But, you know, even when he said if I coach the women's team, I don't, you know, there'd be no tension. Very little stress I'd have to find that. You know, you're almost, you almost need that, I think he needs that environment. I think he might lose his Luke Murray, Bill Murray's son, who's an assistant coach, who by a lot of different people who know college basketball. Bill Murray's son is a very, very great basketball mind. And it looks like he is in line for the Boston College, John.

All right, Paulie, this stain sports history. Yeah, don't have that many. One thing about the Dodgers, they won 93 last year. They didn't win 105. They only got past the podries by three games. Brewer has had more wins. Philly's had more wins. Not there are no teams at 100 games last year.

And keep in mind how close that world series was with the blue jays. They, you know, six inches, five inches, you know, they score. But, you know, it's hard to really make a case to go against somebody other than the Dodgers. You know, we do this. We used to do this with Tiger at a major, hey, Tiger of the field. If I gave you the Dodgers of the field, to me, that's different.

I would take the field against the Dodgers just because things happen along the way. If somebody gets hurt or somebody, all of a sudden finds a couple of really good players who become great players. You know, there's magic that happens. You know, the Diamondbacks going to the World Series a couple of years ago. Like who would have thought, you know, we've seen the Rangers come out of nowhere.

Giants come out of nowhere.

“Are the Cardinals, can you check the over under for wins for the St. Louis Cardinals?”

Is it at 70? I have a friend who lives in St. Louis and he said, you know, are we going to be an all-time bad team? I go, you're the Cardinals. Is the over under 70 wins this 70 and a half, Pauli? I saw 71 and a half from a couple weeks ago, but the Cardinals were 78 and 84 last year.

19 games out of first. That's rare. Yes, Mark. Yes, one of our backroom guys, just bet on them. The over under is 69 and a half.

Dang. Gambling podcasts coming up after this show at Dan Patrick dot com. The Todd cast latest edition is up there as well. All right, Paul, this day in sports history. This is one of my favorites.

Dan 1931, Boston Bruins coach Art Ross became the first NHL coach to pull the goalie for an extra attacker.

The Bruins did lose that game in a Stanley Cup semis, but it was in a Stanley Cup. Can you imagine him waving to the goalkeeper? Hey, come here. No, what are you talking about? I can't come here.

First time. Yeah. Uh, 1979 magic over Larry Bird, 1973 Bill Walton went 21 of 22. And he was the most outstanding, standing player UCLA. There's seventh straight title, but the only one by five over Memphis.

“I think Bill, if you check that box score, so he missed one, he missed one field goal.”

And that might have been offensive goal-tending on Bill. And I think he missed more shots from the free throw line. I think he might have been two for five for the free throw line.

But one of the most incredible championship game performances was Bill Walton.

In 1973. I found a result of the poll question sheet. And if L.C. is an opener on a Wednesday night, people either really don't care or absolutely hate it. Very few people love it. Best places to watch baseball are called Parkfields or stadium park running away with that one.

Bo Jackson and Colin Cancer.

The polymiss job Jordan Lowead Management or Matt Friends and Pression. Matt Friends and Pressions have a slight lead over the polymiss job followed by Jordan Lowead Management. Yeah. Well, not many people voting for Bo Jackson talking about Colin Cancer, which is great. You can't say that was a negative segment.

It's got too many votes actually, but not too many that it's depressing. All right, let's get a couple of phone calls here. Justin and Utah. Hi Justin, what's on your mind? Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call.

Five, eleven, two, fifty. And I just have a hypothetical. I'm going to figure you guys are the perfect people to ask for you. It goes right in mind. I think we all wonder about all people.

Just hypothetically, if you had a ball of co-worker. And suddenly they came back to work one day. We're in a two pay. Never addressed it. But you look around.

You and your other co-workers.

I, well, how would you guys handle this situation? Would you ask them about it? Wait till they bring it up? No. I'll hang up and listen.

But I'm curious what you guys would do. Is this something that happened to you, Justin? It very, it, it, it's probably like to say it very well. Maybe at the medical. Okay.

Yeah, see.

“And just for clarity, hypothetically, which side of this would you be on?”

Justin, the guy wearing the two pay or the co-worker? Who doesn't know how to handle it? No, no. I am very fortunate. I have a good head of hair.

Not a good damn, of course. But, you know, we all can't be perfect. Thank you, Justin. Yes, Tom.

Where we work among the twelve of us?

Someone would just say immediately. Nice to pay. What's going on with that thing? But if you're in a real office setting. You're probably not saying anything.

Now, I've been around guys who have come in. And their hair is considerably darker. Uh, make love and don't tell one day. I remember Mike Floreo is texting me. Because are you guys going to make fun of make love in with his new hair color?

And I, I, I, I didn't want to. I thought it was funnier by not bringing it up to make love and that he knew we knew. But we just kind of left it there. Yes, Tom. And if you're already subconscious about something where you're darkening your hair or

pretending you have hair, whatever you're doing, you don't need someone to add to that and make a comment. Just let it go. Let them bring it up if they want or ignore it. Yes, Paul. But I think the, to pay e, the person who's putting on the to pay has to break the ice for the building. Hey guys, let's get it out of the way.

Yeah. Yes, see.

“Yeah, that's how I feel like I'm much more of, uh, let me just address the elephant in the room here.”

Like I came in with a crappy haircut the other day. It was like, before you guys said anything, I was like, hey, look what I did to my hair. I really messed it up. Now it's just out in the open. Nobody feels awkward, especially me.

You know, so if I was thinking about going to get a two pay or something, probably like two weeks before being like, you know, I think I'm getting a little something up top. Yeah. And we can't make fun of your haircut now because you've already made fun of your haircut. Correct.

Yeah. Yeah. It was a preemptive strike there. Let's go around the room. See if we learned anything on today's not even a war dominated program.

Todd. Chase Daniel says Thai Simpson's a more natural thrower, meaning his motion and mechanics Fernando Mendoza is more robotic. See, didn't you learn anything today? I learned that ties for broadcasters are becoming irrelevant.

Yeah, no, I've got all these ties. I'd be more than willing to give them out. Marvin, how about you? Will Wade go back to LSU? Paul.

Announce your two pay. In fact, I've got when I headed out Super Bowl trophy, I had pictures over here with the ties. I actually draped the ties over those pictures. Todd, what did I learn today? You had one more round of gop. You picked Tiger or Jack Nichols at Pebble Beach or Cyprus.
