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

podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Lori Seagull, and this is mostly human, a tech podcast through a human lens. This week, an interview with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

I think society is going to decide that creators of AI products bear a tremendous amount of

responsibility to the products we put out in the world. An in-depth conversation with a man who's shaping our future. My highest order bit is to not destroy the world of the AI. Listen to mostly human on the I-Hart Radio app, Apple Podcast, 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. My 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 at City Hall on the I-Hart 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.

Do you want to start with the first question from the big kid coach of the year?

You're a Spartan, is that why you think? 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-Hart Radio app, search Plagrant, and funny with Kerry Champion and Jamel Hill, and listen now, presented by Capital One, founding partner of I-Hart Women's Sports.

Who are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio, Iron Eagle, or Ian I-Gle. He is the play by play voice for the national title game, and he joins us now. What did you think of the chain smokers? What an opening question. Do I stay in my lane, or do I just give you my genuine thoughts?

The shocker for me, in all of it, Bill Raffterry was in the mosh pit. I wouldn't believe it, but where's Bill? I didn't see that. I didn't see that. But you knew the chain smokers were going to be performing.

You had to be ready for that moment, correct? The crazy part, this is not shocking, considering just the timing of everything. We have a green room in between games, so I go to the green room, you know, you fresh it up, you grab a slider. It's a little bit of food, have a bite move on.

I now walk out of the green room, and the area in which to get back to our seats is roped off. And I know I have to get back there because we have to do our stuff immediately after the chain smokers. So I get around the roped off area, and I start walking, and someone is freaking out

running towards me, and I look up. And the chain smokers are standing there with a camera facing it.

I was this close to being the third chain smoker, walking out onto the floor.

I was so discombogulated and disoriented, and man, that would have been a career highlight. Well, you already had it. You had the call in the Yukon game, like, have you had anything that compared to that moment?

Yeah, that was wild, I think the fact that it was such a frenzy makes it different.

Then, you know, a normal buzzer, beater, or less second clutch shot, because when they're triggering the inbound, you just assume foul game, it's going to be two or three more possessions, and for it to turn as quickly as it did, and for Mullins, for it to end up in his hands, to get it done, to advance to Indianapolis and his hometown, to come back from 19 down, to do it against Duke, to have wrath and grant in a state of shock.

Next to me, I know that that seemed to get a lot of attention the next day. And that's cool that you get this behind the scenes look.

Grant said, it might be the first time in his life that he's a meme, and Raph said, "What's

a meme?" Yeah, no.

Are you watching the monitor or the game in a moment like that?

I was watching the game, and then what I tend to do is the second the play ends.

I go to the monitor to try to match whatever pictures are being shown, so that's just muscle memory, and I was lifted out of my chair when the ball went in. Grant, if you looked very closely because the way the camera was set up, a ball hit the camera late in the second half and shifted it over, so it made it a two shot, which is normally a three shot, with all three of us in there, so I was right on the periphery.

As the steel takes place, Grant digs his arm into my rib cage, and I think unknowingly

lifted me a bit, and as it all developed, I went up and made the call and then sat back down, and it really is one of those slow motion type of situations where you're processing a real time that this is going to go down as an all-timeer, but here's the crazy thing we were talking about this then, there have been buzzer beaters and incredible ones prior to the championship round.

I think they're only really remembered, truly remembered, in history, and to live on forever, if you win the title.

Other highlights and their moments and he'll always be remembered and stores remembered

in his home state, but to resonate and get to that other level, I think you got to win

it, and then that thing just lives on in perpetuity. I know you'll be on the call with Grant Hill, Bill Rafftree, Tracy Wolvesson, and tip on his 850 Eastern, when did it change, from 920 to 850? This is a college basketball history that I can't answer, I'd like to phone a friend. When did it change?

There needs to know, okay, get on it, few years ago, thank you, great research staff there that you had. Calling a game in a dome, or in a arena, or at a school, university, biggest difference.

Huge, huge, sightlines, completely different, you're not at your normal level of watching

the game, so the action is actually above you, and certain things that you just know based on where your eyes go from doing game after game after game, you've got to retrain your

brain in the first five minutes, sightlines in the corners, I can tell you, and it'll probably

happen again, anything in the far corners, I can't tell if it's a three pointer or not, I have to wait, I have to pause, I have to be patient and not commit normally, you know, right away. So that, it's a little disconcerting because it's the biggest game of the year, and you can't go through the normal mode of your brain, and then everything is far away, the fans are far away,

you can't see the fans faces, normally in college basketball set up, they're really close, regular NBA arenas, they're close enough, so everything's just a little bit detached, and it feels like it's on a bit of a one second delay, I can't hear the crowd burst through like I would in an intimate setting, you know, there were 70,000 plus people there, and it's cavernous, and I do think it's real, I know we say it every year, I do think they

have a problem the players do in the first few minutes of getting adjusted, making shots, feeling comfortable, getting acclimated, but it's the same for both teams, and it's part of the deal, it's the biggest stage possible in college basketball, and it's obviously working. How much were you here, Danny Hurley tonight, zero, zero, we are so far away, it is impossible

to hear what's happening on the other side of the court, so interesting, NBA, local broadcast, you are normally, normally, they've changed this a bit, but in the good old days, you were court side on the bencheside, national, you were on the other side, which was an adjustment for me that first couple of years of doing it, because there were things you would pick up small little nuances, facial expressions, body language, between coach,

Player, between coach, official, that you just don't see on the other side, a...

with this broadcast set up, you are on the other side, there's also a roving camera that

looks like one of those robots that would deliver your food for door dash, which I don't know if you've had that yet, I had a game in Dallas this year, and I ended up ordering out, and then they inform you that the robot is coming to deliver your food. So I go downstairs to meet the robot, and I see it from two blocks away, and now I'm concerned

for the robot, because I don't know how he's going to negotiate the sidewalk, and I think

now should I go meet him, do I wait, do I stop, and get there a little earlier, and knock

on the door, I don't know what to do, so finally it comes up, and two people that just

happen to be walking by, as I'm now performing with my phone, what's going on here? It's a delivery robot, and I hit the button on my phone, and it opens the hatch, and it was as if I was walking on the moon, they were astounded at what took place, and

not my chicken sandwich like rises up, so that's also happening, it's going back and forth

and front of me during game action, and you could hear like, "Shh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, that I hear, I won't hear Dan Hurley." The Michigan story, what Dusty May is done, and this run, like they're blowing people out, people were, you know, ranting and raving that Arizona Michigan should be for the National Title. Yes, well, I heard that. I, I don't know if Dusty May will get the credity probably deserves the turnaround at Michigan.

Now what they've done in the tournament, and blowing people out, and, of course, you got to win this, but how do you encapsulate what he's done at Michigan?

Well, I think his ability to build the program so quickly, to identify talent, to figure out which pieces would work together. Look, there's a financial aspect of this, you can't ignore it, it's there, but they've done it correctly. They've, they've really had an architect and Rusty May that knew what to do and how to do it quickly, and that is one thing now in the way the college basketball is set up for these major programs because of the money. If you evaluate talent, well, identify it and then develop it in one season, you can be right here playing for a championship. There are other teams that have the same money if not more money

and they identify the wrong talent or they didn't evaluate correctly or they didn't develop correctly and they're not here. So credit has to be given to Dusty May, basically now as a head coach in my mind in college basketball, you are a GM, you are a scout, you are a coach, you are a dad, you are a teacher, you are a mentor, you're all of those things rolled into one and when 80s are looking for someone to be the face of their program, they have to take that into account, you have to check a lot of boxes, but what he's done here is really incredible and you're right, they want eight games, two seasons ago, they want eight games and now they're playing for a chip.

College athletics, if we look at NIL and transfer portal, I think this has been a great year for college athletics. Maybe that's not a popular opinion, but you have in the

ante winning the football championship, you get transfer, now I would like for them to sign contracts, you know, have it a little more uniformity here, but you know, the NIL transfer portal, the president with an executive order, kind of wants to limit this stuff, but I think if you sign a contract, you want to transfer, why can't there be a buyout to that, you know, make a transactional, everything's above the board. Yeah, it is transactional right now. It does feel that way. I do agree that it's been a banner year, you're getting highly competitive games, you're getting a deeper pool of talent because players are staying longer based on the fact that they can make money and they don't just take their chances to go to the NBA and start the clock. That's a term I heard quite a bit for a number of years for players that were certainly going to be NBA stars.

If you're Cooper Flag, yes, you're going to the pros. You're starting the clock for your next contract. It makes perfect sense from a financial standpoint, but for someone that was a borderline first round pick or a second round pick, I don't know if the logic was there for that same approach. Now you stay, you develop your skills, you may be have a shining moment or two in your college career.

You get paid for it, and maybe just maybe you come out on the other side of b...

Yaxel Lendoborg is a more complete player now than he would have been a year ago if he came out of UAB right to the NBA.

And instead he gets this incredible experience and maybe he caps it off with a championship. Look, it's not perfect. I recognize that.

I think a lot of us though jumped the gun and thought, man, this is going to be rough. This is going to be a really chaotic time in college athletics.

It's worked out from a competitive point of view. And yes, I'm saying this, I recognize that the mid major is still left out a bit, but the reality was the mid majors were outliers in this to begin with. Now, at the very least, you hope that you're getting a higher quality of play when you get to the biggest stages of the season. Well, I look at Braille and Mullins and he's going to be, you know, projected to be a first round draft pick. Now he's not ready, but teams are going to say, hey, we'll take him and let him develop for two years.

And like, read shepherd with Houston. Yes, took him high and then we're like, all right, we'll bring him along. Now all of a sudden, you see, you know, read with some highlights there.

And that might be the case for Braille and Mullins that do I do I stay and make a little bit of money or do I go and get started on that first contract in the NBA.

And it feels like that's you're either ready to go, you jump in or maybe you're not even ready to go, but you go because you're going to be a long time NBA player.

Or you stay because you might not be that long-term player. Yeah, there was a stretch of time, obviously working both college hoops and NBA. I was privy to a lot of conversations and got to ask questions to people that do this for a living. That evaluate talent and make these decisions that teams have to live by when you use a first round pick. Those are serious pieces of valuable merchandise because you're trying to change the the whole culture of your team.

There were players that I look back on and it's just how it is they stayed in college because they thought they were doing the right thing.

They may have been a first round draft pick after their freshman or sophomore year was not a guarantee.

Because they stayed their junior and senior year before they were getting paid, their flaws came out. And they dropped in the draft because it actually gave scouts more time to see some of the faults that they had. So there's no right answer here.

I've never ever said emphatically to any kid that has to make a decision to come out and be available for the draft.

That's a bad call on your part. I don't know their financial situation. I don't know their family situation. I just have never been in that corner that it does does occur where people have very strong opinions about it. You got to do what's best for you. I just think now there are at least some options for kids out there to make a more prudent decision. By the way, I'm going to give you credit if you're watching on peacock or NBC Sports Network. You did give almost a presidential backdrop. I mean great lighting here.

Yeah, Dan, I didn't want to tell you, but I am in a vestibule of a Vegas hotel. I flew there last night to do the interview and then I board in 15 minutes. So, you know, it would be fine, but I just wanted to make sure the backdrop look good. I'm a big earth tones guy. I like it. Very, very, very, very earthy. Yes, you are. All right, we're counting on you tonight. Thanks. I'm going to go through my normal routine game day and have some nut or butters and watch some more info, which you are the father.

Not the father. Every time it gets me every time it's entering. It's like March madness. It's so unpredictable save your voice save your voice. Okay. Thank you. See you there. That's Iron Eagle.

Ready for a different take on Formula One.

Join me Lily Herman as we dive into the under explored pockets of F1 including the astrology of the current grid.

This Hamilton crap a corn son cancer moon wouldn't you know it Michael Schumacher is also a capricorn son cancer moon. The story of the sports most 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 a record as a listry as 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 iHeart 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, flagrant and funny. If you look at the top four number one thieves, what do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend.

Obviously you kind of see overwhelming favor 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. Obviously it's so deep and so thick and just about everything, I really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only once I can possibly upset you con. 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.

Listen to flagrant and funny with Carrie, champion and Jamel Hill on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. 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 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 iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. A silver 40 caliber handgun was recovered at the scene. From iHeart 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 defend. We'll be dead. And everybody in the chambers of dogs, a shocking public murder. A scream, get down, get down, those are shots, those are shots, get 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 effective flat now. That may have been not have been political. That may have been about six. Listen to Worshack, Murder at City Hall on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Former UConn, Great Hall of Famer, Ray Allen, joining us from Indianapolis, how nervous are you?

My nervousness existed when we played Michigan State, because your plan is those squad that always come prepared.

So back then, I was nervous. I guess, because Duke was, if not the best team in the country, I started that game thinking, you know, we play our best and we have a chance. And so I wasn't dirt, nervous then. And it's those those games that get through slipped through the cracks like we lost a crate in the market during a year and I was like, okay, we dropped the bomb there and those two games.

It's really always been about how you can't play for me.

But also, I mentioned Michigan, once this game in the 80s, Connecticut probably needs this game to be in the 60s. How does Connecticut do that? Well, it's interesting, because there's a, if you watch Michigan, they get to ball out of net and they run.

That has typically been historically how UConn has always played. We've been an up-tempo fast break type of team.

If you watch the game against Illinois, whenever we, we have those scoring droughts, the three balls not falling and say terrorists read is a really scoring, but what you also notice is, when we do get stopped, because defensively we've been solid. We never pushed the ball up the floor. We're playing against the five men set defense every single time and it makes it more difficult, especially when at this time of the year. In the tournament, when you got really good defensive teams, they're going to take what terrorists read is doing away from us, they're going to trail care band and make sure they get a hand in space.

So we, in a sense, we have to be able to kind of engage in that fast break up-tempo game with Michigan in the same token beat them at their own game. Wow, because I remember Indiana did that against the UNLV when Steve Olford was playing and everybody said, oh, Indiana can't run with UNLV, but Indiana ran with UNLV, ended up winning the title.

Does UConn have the talent to run this and play a game in the 80s, go toe to toe that way with Michigan?

Yeah, and remember, we don't have to be a better team of Michigan, we just have to be better than them tonight. So it's really about kind of meeting them toe for toe.

So when they get to ball the net and they run, don't then slow to game down and then come up and set up a set, because I do think we have such an interesting office of movement.

You figure the way it's transformed from one side to the next side to the next side. And, you know, you can make the case that, you know, so much movement that, you know, you're, how many guys can shoot in that quick of a motion at, from 3.9 to be so consistent. So to be able to get that scoring opportunity and transition off a rebound, that's some of the best times to get three pointers. And in addition, where's some of my drives, it's a hold and then kicks it out to a standstill shooter. If I said there was an alumni game prior to the national title.

No, I know it's going. Yeah. So I got Michigan versus UConn, all the alum who were at the game tonight. So I got Fab Fives there, who wins an alumni game. Are we talking about just the guys that are somewhat in attendance, are we talking about his story?

No, the best we produced. Just those who were there. No. No, we're talking about he's playing their pride. No, no, right now.

All right, now, right now, we'll get him. Because.

Well, I mean, you have to say, you know, all the five, five are over there, me.

So, so now, I would, I would be a sacrificial lamb because, you know, we'll negate ourselves because we're older, we're in our 50s. But then you, you got to make a 44 there, you got Sebastian, if you're there, you got Rob, Rob, Rob, right there, you got. Kimbo Walker there. So you're talking about guys that could still play, potentially really in the NBA right now. Okay.

All right. What do you see now, let me take you back to you stay three years at Connecticut? Yeah. Okay. But given today's NBA, you probably would leave after a year, like Braille and Mullins to me.

I don't know if he stays because he'll be projected to be a first round pick in today's NBA.

You know, you got these guys who want to get into that second contract. And like, you know, read Shepherd with Houston. He wasn't ready. But then they give you a couple of years to develop. So, do you see that kind of as this scenario with Mullins that you're one and done, even though you may not be ready for the NBA?

Yeah, because college, there's so much instability on that team to next year.

That's why when the caravan came back, I was excited for him.

And, you know, one would say, I don't know where his draft stock is, but the fact that he's playing in the national championship, you know, good on him, congratulations because he's one of now the winningest players all time in college. I don't know where he ranks, but he's up there with with some of the best. So, it's hard to make that discernment from who was actually going to be on your team next year, because the transport portal opens up, I think, tomorrow.

Yeah. So, what's going to be available?

Who's going to lead teams?

And so, now, Brelin has to make that decision based on what his squad may look like next year.

And obviously, we always say now, with these head coaches, you got to recruit your own team back.

You know, figure out what you're going to be building for next year. So, Brelin definitely has to take that into consideration.

I do personally, I think that, you know, after my sophomore year was, you know,

I'd score 36 in term, because UCLA, the Mitchell National Championship in 96 or 95. And everybody there with Blurves and Me leaving, and it was a different time then. And I was like, no, I need to come back to really kind of poke my chest out a little bit and kind of prove that, you know, I'm one of the better, if not the best player in college. Which I was able to do that in my junior year, if no way I was making it in my senior year.

So, I think Brelin, depending on the circle that's around him and his ability to kind of think to this process and battle himself. It does depend on that tremendously. It does depend on the family life, it depends on his relationship with, with Coach Hurley, how strong that is. And, you know, his ability to come back to say, hey, I think that could be even better player and you'd draft the top five. If not number one next year.

So, I'm talking to Ray Allen, Hall of Famer, Yukon alum played three seasons for the Huskies. How would you have done with Danny Hurley's style of coaching? I love his style of coaching. He's similar to Kaho. You know, he rides hard for his players.

He stays on him. He coaches you hard. We're in an era of basketball, I've seen, you know, I coached him in high school. If you say anything negative to the players and the kids assume that you don't like them. And in the parents of senior UE males and they're having conversations with the athletic director and trying to find a way to, you know, put their thumb on you.

And, you know, with, with, with Hurley coaches come to him and the parents say, and I, I heard as Wood Brailins dad, I needed somebody to coach Raylin Hart because he's going to get the best out of him. And guys that want that, they come to Yukon. I wanted it, you know, Kyle home.

I, I saw Kyle home in the first couple of practices in his coaching staff.

And I saw how hard he went and how, um, for Rochessey was his coach of practice. And I said, remind me not to do that thing that that player did. You know, and it's, it's very easy to pay attention. If you hold yourself accountable and you just work as hard as you can. You have nothing to worry about.

Help me understand the t-shirt that you got roughed up on social media for him. Uh, the t-shirt? Yeah. What t-shirt? They said that you were wearing a tight t-shirt? Me? Yeah. Oh, that's just my muscles, my muscles.

You know, I'm, I'm, I'm putting on the, uh, the muscles I didn't lift. So if somebody had something to say about my t-shirt, they were just, wow. Wow. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, what are you 50?

Yeah. I'm 50 and, uh, I think it's time to get rid of the tight t-shirts.

I mean, I'm just, I, I don't wear tight t-shirts. I just wear shirts. I know that, that, that I like going comfortable in. So somebody else deives them tight. That's those people's security. Wow. Okay. That's my own security event.

Yeah. See, because you're right now that, who do you got on? Looks like it's a double to a triple extra large. We can get you some of those smaller. Are you wearing that new con sweatshirt tonight? Uh, not this when I have something else.

Something tighter. See, when you come to the find my four.

Here's the thing about find my four.

Uh, you, you need a hoodie that says GDP on it, uh, the great impact. Oh, right. Um, but when you come to find a four, first of all, a week before nobody knows who's going to be here. You know, it just kind of happened. So you pack, you know, with the optimism of, I'm going to be here for four days.

And they get you in a hotel because you have to get a hotel for four days.

You can't just buy it from one or two. Either if we lose on on Saturday, um, I overpacked. And then being here still today, you had to figure out, Okay, did I pack enough? So you kind of have to kind of run it back a little bit here and there. Uh, what was tough for facing Iverson in college or in the NBA?

Uh, both. You know, there wasn't really a difference. And the John Thompson, you know, let Iverson go. He let him play his game and, you know, All those guys, you know, book our aisle with Ella, uh, The different supporting Cassie had going to the sixers with

Eric McKee and Eric, you know, like all those guys knew who Iverson was. And they catered their offense to him. So it was hard on both levels to stop him. Because he knew exactly who he was. And he played his game similar at both levels.

And obviously when he got to the NBA, you know, They built teams around him again. And we were trying to figure out, I think I got really addicted. Understanding who he was, you know, his moves.

Because I played a lot against him in proud basketball.

So statistically, I knew where scoring zones were, you know, The moves he wanted to make, but it still was hard to stay in front of him. Because he was so small that he'd get in gaps. And, you know, he moved up and down and floored. And there wasn't a shot that he didn't like.

[laughs] And all of our for that matter that he couldn't make. Or that he couldn't take, you're right. Yeah. I keep seeing these stories now about how dirty John Stockton was.

Like guys are reminiscing about facing Stockton. And, you know, whether it's Gary Payton or Baron Davis. And was Stockton dirty to you?

Well, he Stockton was always my example.

To the young people. When I say, if you look at John Stockton, you ask what physical attributes did he possess that you would look at and say, this guy is a beast. The thing that I learned for Stockton is he did the simple thing over and over again. That a ten passes one might be behind the back pass.

He set the hardest screens.

And I think to what people would be alluding to with him is he would,

would he set the cross screen on, for called alone. And that was he would pass the ball to the cut across land. He set the screen. And he did two things really well. One, obviously he set the screen really well.

But occasionally he would grab your, your jersey. Then hold you.

Or if you try to run them over then he'd fall.

And then you'd get the, the, the, the foul. So he was really a debt that plan to gain. And because he was small nobody expected him or thought that he could out overpower you or athletically beat you, but he played the game smartly. And so he's a great example to lesson for young people that you don't have to have

this highly skilled physical ability to be an all star. Be one of the all time greats and he's certainly example of that. How does it play out tonight, right? Well, I mean, there's a couple different scenarios for you kind of think that we have to make sure that we have a good start.

And we can't have those little scoring droughts throughout the game because Michigan is not going to give us any of reprieve. So if, if you see a caraband score early, get to the free to line, get to the whole same thing with solar ball, then it's going to be a close game and it's going to be a tough night for Michigan.

But if we, we start early and it's like a 709 zero game,

but we're not scoring there attacking, then we're going to be on our heel. Hills on night, which we still are capable of staying with the game as we seem to get to do. Will you run out on the floor if you can win? I walk.

I think in those moments, I, I tried my best to stay out of the way because this is obviously

it's not about me. But in those times, in when history tells the story to be able to say that I was there to other players in the past played at UConn at one championship to be on that floor, it speaks to the legacy of the program. And so from that aspect, it's important for me to be out there just to show the future generation,

kids that come to UConn like this is a brotherhood that you want to be a part of. So if you work hard, this is a place that you want to be. Have fun tonight. Thanks for joining us. I will.

GDP. Yeah. GDP. The great damp patch. Thank you, Ray Ray.

What didn'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 F-1 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 mishabed scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, gumster fire for more than 75 years.

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 overwhelming 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 you con,

and that right after that would be Texas.

SNC 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 you con. 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,

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.

From iHeart Podcasts, and best case studios. This is Worshack, Murder at City Hall. Could this have happened in City Hall? Somebody tell me that! [ Music ] 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 will be dead. [ Music ] And everybody in the chambers of dogs, a shocking public murder. A scream, get down, get down, those are shots, those are shots, get 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 effective flat down. That may have been not a bit political, that may have been about six.

Listen to Worshack, Murder at City Hall, on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. [ Music ] As a Guy Fieri with us, time. He's ready to roll.

Diner's drive-ins and dives, Mr. Michigan Wolverine. Guy Fieri joining us on the program.

How did you come about picking Michigan there, Guy?

Well, not only, you know, great company. [ Laughter ] A curator of fantastic tequila. But you really have a fantastic profile of awareness of everything that goes on and she double a man's basketball.

That's not true. Actually, I have a ringer. I have my son, writer. Actually, I've got a writer that I just woke up to say. I didn't get up early, but writer goes to San Diego State

and works for San Diego State basketball. And heartbroken that they did make the tournament. But, you know, an amazing team. So, I went to writer. I got to be honest with you.

And writer, that's my thing about watching basketball is watching it with him because he can break it all down for me. As soon as he told me that, you know, he wasn't doing good in something with school. I'm like, look at it, like you look at basketball.

And you're going to do great. So, he helped me with my bracket, but after that, you can't gain, after that duke, you can't gain. I'm like, wow, this is getting out of control. And then that Michigan stopping that happened with Daisy.

I mean, I always watch games all the way through because you never know.

But, yep, that's all writer, buddy. I want to take the credit for this. Okay. Marvin, who's one of the Danets, went to Connecticut. If Connecticut wins, he wins the celebrity bracket challenge.

If Michigan wins, you win. Now, I don't know if there's anything we can really give you, but we can ask for something. If Connecticut wins, if you're in the area, the tri-state area, Marvin could be in an episode

where he's seated at a table where you go, oh, Marvin, from the Dan Patrick show. So, what do you think about that? And then if there's something that we could give to you if Michigan wins?

Oh, I think that this has to happen regardless.

We won't make this come to a reality.

Okay.

Where, and when we do this, I'm not sure,

but there will have to be a passing of the gauntlet of who wins and who has to pay the price. I mean, I'm not getting into that crazy fantasy football stuff where someone's got to dress up and go to the mall. I'm not quite ready for that.

But I am ready for a buy, which I don't believe that I'm going to get knocked down.

I believe that Michigan, after what we've seen,

Michigan do this season, and especially through this tournament. I'm saying the right thing, right, right? Right, right, right, right, right. Right, right, right, right, right. So, if this goes the way that I have read the stars,

I will be prepared to deliver a beautiful, sign bottle of santo tequila. Okay. And present it to him and take my beating. If he loses, I don't know, Dan,

you tell me what is he get to pluck off his desk that he has to give me.

I will have your son on the show in the cast.

How about that? There you go, writers. If we win, if your pick wins, you go on the show. Sounds good. All right.

I think that's a fair trade. Dan, we're all fired up for this. And we, right, right, right, right, right. I don't have to worry. I went to the finals down in,

where'd we go, Arizona? That was the coolest. I'm having to attend a sporting events. But to see them take a stadium.

And then fill in that whole stadium with all those floor seats.

And then put that basketball court in the center of it and to watch the game. I'm so bummed that we're not there to go see it. But it is, it was one of the best sporting events I've ever seen. But you went to UNLV when the running rebels were

at UNLV. Correct? Oh, that was another level. That was another level. You could take a little at UNLV in 1990.

That's the year I graduated. And, you know, we got great tickets. It was, you know, there was this team that was just coming out of nowhere. I mean, not really. I mean, Turkey didn't have been building it.

But we used to get awesome seats. Like, you know, sitting right on the floor and just been in what the lottery was and what your fraternity or, you know, how you picked it. But then all of a sudden, here we are,

ranked number one. I remember that morning, and going and seeing the gigantic number one that they built in the front driveway of the school. And yeah, it was for a little school like UNLV at that time

to be going as big. It was, it was an amazing time.

And I remember when we won, it was chaos.

So it's, and something I appreciate, I didn't appreciate the next year. But I appreciate. So I wouldn't say that I'm, you know, Duke losing, you know, okay.

You didn't mind that. Ryder used to terrorize me when he was a kid and told me all through his elementary school. And because you didn't basketball fan forever, played great competitive basketball through high school.

But he always used to tell me that he wanted to go to Duke.

Hunter, I went to UNLV. But I want to say a bunch of what to UNLV and Ryder is now talking to me with he's going to go to Duke. So San Diego State was a happy meeting. How are you feeling?

Like a million bucks? I'm up and wrong. Oh, for my, for my legislature. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that was it.

That was not good. I had this crazy exposure to my quad muscle and the center of my leg, right in the center. Not doubt at the knee, not up to hip, but right in the center exploded.

And they came and showed it back together and, you know, be being sequestered to a wheelchair and crutches for an a cast, right weeks was horrible. But I survived it and I'm back. But what to an injury?

What did your quad look like? Food was. As the, as the surgeon said, Guy, I haven't seen this in 20 years and I'm going to be trying to sew together

ground beef and ground beef. He said, "You have won this muscle up." In the center of your leg. He says, "So we're going to put this back together because you really have to stay on."

I mean, he put a fear in me because unless you want to be back here going to do this again, don't move that muscle. And I, ugh. So really, and I was building a show in the middle of this and if I didn't finish the show,

all my crew was going to go away with no Christmas money. And so we figured out a way to put me in the wheelchair and then when it was time for my scene, this new show that we're doing called "Flaver Town Food Fight." And so I would get out of the wheelchair,

and stand there next to a park bench or something, or a hola street sign, and try to fly. We made it true, and after I got down with the shoot, and I was two weeks of that, and I was fresh out of surgery,

only two days out of surgery, and the doctor was just pissed. He's like, "I've been all this work, and you're going to go back to..." I don't know what's going to do.

You know, that play hurt. But were you skiing? No, I was fighting ninjas.

I tried to make up like really good stories

about what happened now.

Now, I was walking out of my trailer going to the set.

Oh, my God. It just started to rain,

and brand new, the KZ boots on,

that I had scuffed up the bottom. Hit that first step. One leg went all the way down the stairs. The other leg got caught behind me on the threshold, and it popped.

I mean, I've broken a lot of things and had injuries, but this went off like a gun, and I was in shock, and the nurse came over, the EMT came over and looked at my leg, and she goes, "I'm fine.

I'm fine. I'm fine. I just pulled my muscles." She goes, "No, you have a huge divin in your leg where you're muscle you see."

Because you need to go to the hospital. No, the hospital doctor's like, "Yeah, we have to do surgery now." It says, "Now, can I go back to work?" No, so it was interesting.

So I have tons of appreciation and understanding for all these athletes to go through these horrific injuries, and then they have a timeline to get themselves back.

Peachy is no fun. Peachy's worse than the injury. All right, big night tonight.

So any parting words for Marvin and as Yukon Huskies?

Marvin, I think that you have watched every game probably more diligently than I have. I mean, and I don't know that you've got writer's crib notes.

Riders always delivering, did you see the game last night,

and then he gives me that run down of what happened? I got to say, after that Arizona game, and we saw it. We saw it taking away from, and you look at how they crushed Tennessee.

You look at just how, I mean, they had these gigantic 16-point leads throughout the tournament. There's just so many things that are showing this,

and I don't know what the Vegas line is right now. It should as a Vegas guy. But I'm going to look forward to writer being a guest on the damn patron church.

It's going to be fantastic. And I'll send DP when I win. I'll send you the bottle to kill him. Repassado, if you can. Without question,

maybe I'll just send the whole portfolio. That'd be awesome. You know, we'll make sure, just need to spot on the desk somewhere. But just for writer's day,

hopefully it's going to be a great, I want to see a great game. I think everybody does, but now, and I'm glad that, is there going to be a wall of fame?

You think that, when the celebrity listed,

could I throw that off my hand by the way? You see that? No, I got it. I got it here. And you're asking for an awful lot.

This is a big way to get you out. What? What? What, Marvin? But DP,

I'm taking the bottle to kill him and I'm bringing it to the show. Wherever he's at, oh, I'm crashing it.

Oh, with my Yukon gear on and all that. Diners, driving, and domination for Yukon. Whoa! He's at him.

He just renamed my show. Dinos, Tribents, and domination. I love it.

All right. All right. We're on. All right. We'll talk to you soon.
