It's the rematch. It's pickleball. And it was hotly contested in New Orleans. Fritzi emerged as the Rafa Nadal of the group, but the Danets did ask for a rematch. Marvin decided that he will play left handed, his normal hand. He played right handed for some reason which you still haven't come up with a good reason. Were you just giving the other guys a chance and you played right handed instead of your dominant left handed? I didn't want to say the quiet part out loud. Okay, fair enough.

Best and worst of the weekend. What you saw that you liked and you didn't like. And for most of the season, Duke was dominating college basketball. They had talent, they had depth, great coaching. They get into the final four against a battle tested Houston team and you had raw talent meeting its match and it certainly showed. Duke was up by 14 in the second half, under nine minutes to go, seemingly in control. And as I've said many times on this show, freshmen can act like freshmen. I don't care how talented you are. And they acted like freshmen late in that game. Now, Houston didn't flinch. That was the key. Kelvin Sampson did a wonderful job of telling his team, we're only down by, we're only down by, even though it's double digits to Duke and the best player in college basketball. So you have an experienced team, well coached, and when they had the moment when it called for composure, they delivered. Duke did not. But we've seen this before. Many times you get that moment and this is where you step up and you make a big play. I thought Duke was nonchalant at times, even trying to get the ball in. Cooper Flag had a moment and his moment passed. But Houston played great. And I think there's moments where you go, this could get out of hand. And it certainly looked like it was going to get out of hand. Kelvin Sampson didn't allow his team to let it get out of hand to get embarrassed. And then with Florida and Auburn, I thought Auburn was going to win the game. I thought Houston was going to keep close and I thought that they would, I would take the points with Houston. They ended up upsetting them. But Walter Clayton Jr. III has made himself some money. Imagine you're the guy, everybody knows you're the guy and you still go Steph Curry on people. And that's what's remarkable. And these are contested shots. These aren't just, hey, somebody driving dish. It's I got the ball, I'm gonna, I'm gonna do the driving and I'm gonna Take the big shot. And that's what was impressive. This is. This is quite a run. Quite a run for one player. And. And look, I haven't been sold on Florida. They could win the national title, but I am sold on Walter Clayton. He is a whole lot of fun, and he's probably making. Making himself into a lottery pick now. And I think when the tournament began, there was talk maybe at the end of the first round. But what I've seen so far, and I don't want to get caught up too much, and you've done this in a couple of games in the tournament, but I do want to get caught up in the fact that you're doing it in the tournament because you're doing it with high pressure. These are big games, big moments, and that's what's fun to see when you're watching somebody. He was at Iona. Nobody knew that he was at Iona except for the Florida coaching staff that said, you know what? That guy right there could be pretty good. So he was there. Rick Patino. And you're seeing a lot of these teams that have, you know, juniors and seniors, you know, transfer players. This is college basketball. And you've seen that Houston has experience. Florida has experience as well. All right, poll question for the first hour of the program. Seaton is going to be what? Well, why don't we start off with a positive. Who had the best week? Well, Alexander Ovechkin. He did pretty well. Decent. That's not bad. Yeah. All time. Great weekend. Yeah. Calvin Sampson. Yep. That's pretty nice. Yep. Yep. That's a hell of a dub to get. I think maybe we combine Paige Beckers and Gino Aurayama. They had a great weekend. Yes. Yeah. The fact they went nine years without winning a championship is like when Tom Brady went, I think, nine years without winning a Super Bowl. We've just gotten to that point where you go, wow, it's been that long. When Holly Rowe interviewed Gina or after the game, she's like, you know, last time we were here, it was 2016, and they've had their moments. But, I mean, give credit. Paige Beckers, you have a couple of serious injuries to come back. All the greatness, all the greatness you had at UConn, they all win championships, and I'm glad that she was able to put that on her resume, because she deserves that. She was Caitlin Clark before Caitlin Clark, and that's a really good team. And Dawn Staley knew that. Knew that early, and I think that's why she was trying to fire up her team. Then she realized, hey, we got beat by a really, really good team. And I always wonder about this when you win a national championship. Eugenia Oriema. What is that, 12 titles now? Are you going to stay? And he probably looks at the roster and he goes, hell, why would I leave? I mean, I gotta. I gotta star freshman. My. My best shooter. Fud's gonna come back. Like, I'm okay, I'm 71. What else am I going to do? You know, if I had a team like that, like Gino, then I would probably come back. It's just. I just. I just don't have, you know, a team that I can count on. The way he can, hypothetically. Yeah, yeah. Not talk about specific people. Pathetically, no. You know, there's nothing wrong with staying. You like it, you enjoy it. Can you get fired up again? And usually you get the energy from your new wave of players. And, you know, when he said, we lost a scrimmage in the beginning of the season, I didn't think we'd make the tournament. And then all of a sudden, they had a run that was similar to the Yukon men's and how they blew people out in the tournament. That's a really, really good team and a deep team. And they had far more, you know, far more talent than South Carolina. And Don Staley has done a wonderful job there. I just didn't think she had a great player. I think she had a really good team. She just didn't have a great player. So who had the best weekend? Seaton is that we're looking at UConn with Paige and Gino, and we're looking at Ovechkin. Yep. Who else do we want to put on? Certainly Calvin Sampson. That's a great win. Yeah. Walter Clayton Jr. III had a. Another great weekend. Yeah. Well, for himself. Yes. Yes, he did. Anybody else? A little bit of like a. Did Duke collapse or did Houston take it? Houston collapsed. Yeah. I think there has to be. Something has to happen for something to happen. So there has to be action for reaction. They have to open the door for a collapse where they don't get rebounds, they don't make field goals, they can't get the ball inbounds. They commit a foul, they allow, you know, a put back. That's all they allowed. They did all those things. Now, Houston played a role in that. But still, you're Duke, you're not getting rebounds. What, in the final three minutes, you don't have field goals, you not making free throws. I put that on Duke. That's a collapse. Absolutely, yes. Ton. I couldn't help but wonder what was going on through Coach K's mind as he's sitting there watching this unfold over the last minute and a half, two minutes. And you know, second guessing in his own mind, he wouldn't necessarily call out Coach Shire and have a discussion after the game. But gotta wonder what that, you know, thought bubble would be like. Yeah, yeah. Probably pretty tough to sit there and you can do nothing. You just watching. But you know, we think Duke is going to go to the championship game. They should go to the championship game. But Houston hit big shots. Duke had to allow them the opportunity to make those moments big shots. What else do we have as far as the poll question today? And, and we'll get to Ovechkin passing Gretzky. How about Vlad Guerrero Jr. III? He gets 500 million from Toronto. Seaton brought up a great point about his dad by. How did you. Guerrero Jr's dad. Not my dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. How did you phrase it about Vlad Guerrero Sr. He was like, I just remember him as being one of the greatest sluggers of this generation. To never happen. He had a, he had a window there where you were like, dude, this dude is about to go off. Yeah. And that is any minute now. This dude is just about to take go. And man, what the heck happened? I thought he was the guy. Nine time allstar One of the best bad ball hitters. Always had the pine tar on the front of his batting helmet. His batting helmet looked like it had been in a fire something. It's just completely torn up. But he's a hall of Famer. Yeah. It just, it always felt like, God, he should have been even greater. Yeah. Which isn't fair because he had one of the best arms in baseball. Bad ball hitter. But I don't know, did he win a championship anywhere that kind of played sort of in obscurity a little bit. But man, was he talented. 500 million. How old is Vlad Guerrero Jr. Because they gave him a 14 year, 500 million dollar deal. Dang. He is 26 years old. Okay, look, I'm sure that they have their accountants and they do the math, but I just like for the life of me could never give somebody a contract like that. 14 years. What could go wrong? Or if it's 10 years, you're like, no, no, five years. Okay. Yes. Paulie, would you like to play the Vlad Guerrero Senior Vlad Guerrero Jr. Career salary game? Sure, why not? Had this ready for you. Okay. Celery. Celery. Celery. Celery. Celery. Celery. Celery, Celery, Celery. Celery, Celery. Celery, Celery. Okay. Vlad Guerrero Sr. Played 15 seasons. His best paycheck was 09 with the LA Angels of Anaheim. Redundant. $15 million. His career salary was $125 million. The old man did well. Well, Vlad Guerrero Jr. Well, I'll let you guys guess. He's made 75 million so far. What. What will his career salary be? Probably 575. I just want to make sure you could get that. 575. 500 plus 75. Yeah. He is on pace to make $580 million in his career. Five times what his old man. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Yes, Mark. Pretty good. Thank you. How's it? Thank you. Not bad if you can get it. Yeah. And I thought that they were going to be all in on Ohtani. Remember when we had Steve Phillips, the former Mets gm, and he came on and he was like, hey, Toronto's in this for Ohtani. And then all of a sudden, Toronto wasn't in for, you know, Ohtani. It's like Aaron Judge with the San Francisco Giants. It's like, hey, Giants got a great shot at him. And then all of a sudden, they didn't have a great shot at him. Yes. Todd, if you're concerned about Vlad Junior's age, he. He just turned 26. So. He's a young 26. He just turned 26 three weeks ago. Oh, okay. So he's on the young end of that now. I feel better about the next 14 years. Oh, God. Since steals became an official stat in 1986, NCAA tournament teams are 335 and 1 in games that they beat their opponents in. Field goal percentage, free throw attempts, assist turnovers fewer than your opponent, and steals, the loan loss, Duke on Saturday night. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Here comes that. What? Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the DP show if you don't like Duke, you had a great Saturday because that was one of those where. And this isn't a team that it, you know, that you dislike. I mean, they're a good team to watch, they're fun team to watch, but you were rooting against the brand. That brand is pretty powerful. And I think that's probably what stood out. You're like, oh, God, Duke again. Wait, Houston's come. Wait, Houston's go. Holy Duke. Duke's gonna lose this game. That's as I'm watching it. You're watching almost as in slow motion where I'm going, oh, my God. Oh, my God. Wait. And then all of a sudden there'd be a three. And then all of a sudden, can't get the ball in. Then all of a sudden there's a foul on flag. And yes, I, I, I'm okay with the call because if, let's say it was the other way and Duke got the call, what would we say? Oh, yeah, they want Duke to win. So you can't say that the officials were calling and making the call and what they saw. Is it tough to make that call? Yes. But they did make a tough call and it went against Duke. All right, we'll take a break. Phone calls. We'll get your best and worst of the weekend.

Harry Houdini could make elephants disappear, walk through walls, and escape the Chinese water torture cell. But he was also on a mission against mediums. I have never seen one genuine medium. Join me, Tim Harford, for a cautionary tales trilogy on the world's most famous magician. It takes a flim flammer to catch a flim flammer. Houdini wanted the world to see reason in an age of spiritualism. He went undercover to seances, exposed fakes and charlatans, and even tried to convince Washington lawmakers to ban mediums for good, a campaign that cost him friends and made him many enemies. They're going to kill me. Listen to cautionary tales on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty. The story of how the Golden State warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the warriors dynasty remains alive in large part because of a scrawny 6 foot 2 hooper who everyone seems to love for what Steph has done for the game. He's certainly on that, like Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical warriors ride. This is Dub Dynasty. The Dubs dynasty is still very much alive.

On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned at a ditch out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found except for a cassette tape lodged in the player. On that tape were 10 vile. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Grotesque. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted from the public until now. You feeling this too? A horror anthology podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It is on. The rematch is on. If you're watching on Peacock, you got a chance to see. It's a promo leading up to the rematch at Lambo. Todd Fritz, the star of the original, back in New Orleans during the Super Bowl. And that was front row, back row. Now I think we're switching it up. It's Fritzi and Paulie versus Seton. And Marvin Todd clearly was the best pickleball player, followed by Seaton and then Marvin Paulie. But Marv, look, you played right handed, which I didn't understand since you're left handed, but maybe you were doing that. Maybe you're trying to psych out your opponent. I don't know what your game plan was, but it didn't work. It's like mind game. Yeah. Is that what it was. Yeah. Congratulations. Alex Ovechkin had a chance to break the record the previous game, but he knew it was going to be with an empty net and he didn't want to do that. He said, no, I want to do it with a goalie in the crease. Now, that's a lot of confidence because we're running out of games here. At the end of the regular season, you got Gretzky there in the stands who wants to get back to his life, where it's like, is he going to. All right, I'll come back again. And Wayne handled it beautifully, as I thought he would. You see. Great ambassador to the game. And Ovechkin, I have a hat from March of 1994 that says 802. That's when Wayne broke the all time goal record, 802. And of course, he tacked on a few more. But I have a hat that I received in Toronto when I went to Gretzky's restaurant there, and I thought, I'll keep the hat. Nobody's ever going to break this. Now all of a sudden, I need a new hat. Alex Ovechkin, but to do what he's done for as long as he's done it. We've seen LeBron break the all time scoring record, and then here's Ovechkin with the all time goal scoring record. Are there any other records in any other sports that are going to be broken? Tiger's not going to catch Jack Nicklaus due to health. Is there any other sport where you go, there's a record hanging in the balance here, or is somebody on the verge of breaking an all time record over the next couple of years? 8-77-3, DP show email address DP DP is dpanpatrick.com that's it. That's the one. Yeah. Yes. Paulie, I was watching the post game interviews, and Gretzky's in the locker room and Ovechin's got his shirt off and they're standing there and I couldn't tell who was older. Like, if you just put up a shot of those two, I think Ovechkin's 39 and Gretzky's 64. But they look. They are about the same age. Well, well, Wayne has a little shade on his hair that helps him. And Ovechkin looks like he's older than he's 39. One of them looks like they've done a lot of hard living. Yes, that's true. And it's not Wayne. Third time in NCAA tournament history that both semifinal winners overcame a halftime deficit to win in time since 1992 with Duke and Michigan. So we have our poll question and we'll get to phone calls as well. Paul in Iowa leads us off. Good morning, Paul. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. Well, I have two best of the weekend. Just as a college basketball fan, you know, America wins when Duke loses. As a Big 12 fan myself, it was great to see Houston make that comeback, represent the Big 12 in the championship. It's going to be a great game tonight. My other best of the weekend here in Iowa. Hawkins guys and Cyclones both know that the corn leans to the west because Nebraska sucks. Nebraska won the crown this weekend before they've ever won an NCAA tournament game. Congrats. Yay. Nebraska won the crown. Woohoo. I didn't watch the crown, but it's not because I'm an elitist. I text Marvin last night and I said, hey, turn on espn, you. It was the Orlando Magic G League team against the Celtic G League team. And I thought, well, Marvin's the only guy who's going to appreciate that I'm watching the G League and I don't know if you appreciated it, but I was enjoying it last night. I live a full life like you do. So I was like, oh, look at Mac McClunk. He was going off. I can also see why he's not in the NBA. I don't know if he can shoot. I know he can get to the hoop at any point and, but he doesn't, he's not a dunker. He's not an in game dunker. But I, I, he might have had 40 last. I don't even know if that game was live. Marvin. I'm gonna say it was okay. I didn't know. I was like, oh, what's this? Oh. And then all of a sudden I saw Mac McClung and then the main Celtics, they have a kid out of Alabama, J.D. davidson, who's the league MVP, and I'm thinking, all right, I'm going to watch this for a little while. I was watching too, and my wife goes, what do you want, Celtics? Matt Maine. I was like, it's the main Celtics. Yeah, it's the G League playoffs. It just means more. Yeah. And then it was the Osceola Magic, of course. All right, I'm gonna stay with this for a little while. Sean in Oregon. Hi, Sean. What's on your mind today? Hey, I got a best and worst. Dan, thanks for taking my call. Yeah, the best. I Think was that between that Houston and. Well, the Houston game there with Duke, you know, they, they were 9 for 29 the first half. That shooting in that game. And they still won the game. And they won that game with a. Or sheer grit, determination. And then, you know, at the end of that game, you know, Duke went over like 10 minutes. They only scored like two points in that game, brother. Oh, I know. Thank you, Sean, for recapping that. We watched. Yeah. Wait, tell me more. Wait, what happened? Sheer determination. It's like I'm watching the golf. Brian Harmon won the Valero Open and he was gritty and gutty like they, they talked about, because he's not a big guy and doesn't hit it far, but he, he wanted on grit. You know, we, we were. He looked like he had a boatload of talent, but he was gritty. He was gritty out there and gutty. Tim in Ohio. Hi, Tim. What's on your mind today? Hey, dad. Here's a quick offset of the day. Okay. If you, if you count Gordie Howe's goals, the wha. He would be the all time leader in goals. He would have a total of 904. 900 goals. You would have exactly nine. Nine, 14. Okay, well, that's Ovechkin next season, but thank you, Tim. We don't include the USFL stats. We finally included the ABA stats. Didn't we combine those NBA ABA stats, Marvin? No, I don't think we did. Oh, I thought with Dr. J. Oh, Dr. J would be like the third leading score if you combine. I thought that they combined scoring for some reason. I thought that. Yeah, Polly, I have of right now. They've discussed it, but they do not honor or recognize the NBA ABA stats. They've discussed it, but I don't see any progress on it. Okay, I'll get to work on that. I'll see if I can talk to some people. They, they put them on their website. The NBA. They put ABA stats on the website, but it's still separate and not inclusionary. Yeah, you had. Well, we included the AFL with the NFL, didn't we? AFL stance, NFL stance. I, I would think we would maybe post merger because I, I don't know. Well, yeah, it'd have to be post merger because the NFL wasn't recognized in the AFL. I got to see how many points Dr. J would have because he scored a ton in the aba. So let me double check. I thought that they, they put his stats because he wasn't in the NBA, you know, for a long Period of time where for some reason I thought that he had like 29, 000 or something. When you combine them. Yes, Todd, I'm seeing. The NFL incorporated stats from the AFL into its official record after the leagues merged in 1970. Okay. Combining. The thing I don't understand about the NFL, the NFL is as buttoned up, documented as any other sport. They keep stats of everything. You have NFL films that documented all of this. Why can't they go back and tell me the exact total for sacks? Because it's like block shots with the NBA. I mean, we think it's a big deal if you block three shots in a game. That would be a quarter for Wilt and Bill Russell. It's. I don't. I just don't understand with some of these stats that you can go back and look, I'm. I'm guessing that somebody said, oh, somebody's blocking a shot. We should keep track of that boy. How many block shots does Wilt have? How many does Bill Russell have? There were games where. And this is what I'm told. I. I didn't see it, that you would have. Will have 25 block shots in a game going against plumbers and electricians. Of course. Yes, Paulie. NFL Network and NFL Films and Pro Football Focus have all done this with sacks especially. And they did say that Deacon Jones would have had three different seasons with 22 plus sacks. Yes, but it's not officially recognized. I don't know why we celebrate sacks as much as any other stat in the NFL. Right. We talk about edge rushers, how many sacks. It just seems like you have the means to be able to go back and total these up and block shots. I mean, I just. I think people would be interested and alarmed at how many shots that these guys blocked that Bill Russell blocked. And Wilt be amazing. All right. Chico in Baltimore. Hi, Chico. What's on your mind? Hey, how you doing, Dan? How you been? Shout out to the Yukon Huskies. Man. That was one heck of a women's basketball tournament. When is the location? When are they going to go to New Orleans? I heard they were supposed to be there in 2020, but due to the pandemic. Where are they set to go to New Orleans or Houston? All right, I'll see if I can get one of my best people on that. I'm guessing you're talking about the women going to New Orleans, Chico. Is that right? Yes. Okay. All right. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't followed where the final four destinations are. San Antonio was always fun Going there for Final Four. That was the infamous Kevin Costner party with all the coaches. He'd have all the coaches there. And I remember being invited to the party and he had these two tone saddle shoes on. I mean, Costner looked like a movie star, but he was just a kid in Christmas talking to these coaches. He loved talking college basketball with these guys. And that's where there was a woman who was hitting on me at this party. And Costner saw it and he, he said, hey, I. Not I'm. And I'm paraphrasing. Basically he was going to take one for the team. So he, because I said, I have to go. And then. And he goes, that girl's hitting on you. I said, yeah. He goes, ah, I got it. And so I ended up leaving. And who knows what happened at the Final Four. It stays at the Final Four. I just know Costner basically said, hey, I'll take over. Oh, thanks. Yeah, thanks, Kevin. I had a lot of guys do that for me when I was single. Yeah. You know what I mean? I didn't really ask for it. I just remember this, this is a story. I can tell for a long time that Costner was going to let me go and he would go chatter up a little bit there. So. Thank you, Kevin. Thank you. Ethan in Los Angeles. Hi, Ethan. What's on your mind today? Hey, what's going on, guys? I got two best of the weekend. I got the Drive Chip and putting contest for these kids out in Augusta National. That was pretty cool to see. These kids lost the motion. And second best is the Masters are starting this week. Yeah, yeah, it's fun. I love seeing the kids out there. You get a chance to be on that golf course on those greens. It's a special moment for them. But yeah, I don't know what the weather. Can we check the weather for Augusta this week for. For the Masters tradition unlike any other. Speaking of which, Dan in Iowa joining us. Hi, Dan. What's on your mind? Good morning. I have a really good Jim Nance story for you. Much better than the one last week about the two hour wait at that restaurant in Indianapolis. Okay. I was, I was a runner at the regional in Des Moines. The first regional that Des Moines ever had. I think it was like six years ago. If you guys know what a runner is. But for your audience, that's like the lowest rung on a production. I mean, just empty waste baskets and what have you. So I was in the green room on Thursday and Jim Nansen is his stage manager came in and Said, hi, what have you. And I said, hey, could I get a picture with you? And he said, yeah, I'd love to, but he said, I need to unpack some stuff. Can we do it later? I said, yeah, it's not a problem. So about an hour later, I had a call from my crew manager, and she said, I understand you asked talent for a picture. Oh, I see. Yeah. Yeah. And that's a no. No. Yeah. I didn't know that. I did not know that. And I said, yeah. She says, no, you. You do not ask talent for a picture. Get that. Lee, if they come in the green room and you're in there, you leave. Okay, not a problem. Well, the stage manager threw me under the bus, obviously. So at the crew breakfast on. On Saturday morning, Jim and his entourage were sitting at a table behind the rest of us peons. And I just kind of leaned back and I said, hey, I guess I owe you an apology. He says, for what? I said, I did not know I wasn't supposed to ask you for a picture. He said, that's crazy. I'll be glad to take a picture. Come on, stand up. I said, no, no, no, no, no. It's fine. He said, no, really. Come on, stand up. Let's take. Let's get a picture. So I did, and we chatted a little bit, and he said, do you have anybody that would like to come to the game today? And I think it was North Carolina and Kansas. I don't remember exactly, but that regional was loaded. And I said, well, yeah, my son's in town, and he's a high school basketball coach. He'd love to come. He said, he reaches into his jacket pocket and brings out two tickets. He said, here's two tickets center court, row five. He said, tell him Jim Nance is glad to help him out. That's awesome. Thank you, Dan. Still not supposed to get a picture with talent. Dan still doesn't get. The original point of the conversation is how I don't bother. Those people should have said, don't go up to them and apologize after for something that before, because they probably have no idea what you're talking about. But. And then Dan leaning back to say, I guess I owe you an apology. Basically a cry for, hey, can you give me a picture? Dan probably got fired after that, but glad you. Yeah, you got the tickets. That's great. Thank you. Thank you. Jim just happened to have them. Yeah, right in his pockets here. Yeah. You know what? I just happen to have these two right here for you and your son.

Our podcast, Hasta Bajo is where sports, music and fitness collide and we cover it all. De Arriva. Hasta Ava. Sit down with real game changers in the sports world like Miami Dolphins CMO Priscilla Shumate, who is redefining what it means to be a Latina leader. It all changed when I had this guy come to me. He said to me, you know, you're not Latina enough. First of all, what is that? My mouth is wide open. Yeah, History makers like the Sucard family, who became the first Peruvians to win a Grammy. It was a very special moment for us. It's been 15 years for me in this career. Finally, things are starting to shift into a different level.

Harry Houdini could make elephants disappear, walk through walls, and escape the Chinese water torture cell. But he was also on a mission against mediums. I have never seen one genuine medium. Join me, Tim Harford, for a cautionary tales trilogy on the world's most famous magician. It Takes a flim flammer to catch a flim flammer. Houdini wanted the world to see reason in an age of spiritualism. He went undercover to seances, exposed fakes and charlatans, and even tried to convince Washington lawmakers to ban mediums for good, a campaign that cost him friends and made him many enemies.

I'm Israel Gutierrez, and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the corps that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport, I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the warriors dynasty remains alive, in large part because of a scrawny 6 foot 2 hooper who everyone seems to love for what Steph has done for the game. He's certainly on that, like Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it, come revisit this magical warriors ride. This is Dub Dynasty. The Dubs dynasty is still very much alive.

I wore nine NHL sweaters and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say. And not just about hockey. Believe me, he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast. And it's gonna be, well, it's gonna be quite the ride. We're officially linemates, Nate. We're the energy line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers. And wait till you see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. Okay. We'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what energy lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing, Julie. I'm ready to roll. Listen to Energy line with Nate and jsb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, my God. The play of the day. Put her lips. I got it. This is the play of the day. Check this out. Right side to Wilson, centered up. Ovanskin has it. He score. He scores. Alex Ochkin scores.895. There's a new goal scoring champion and his name is Alexander Ovechkin. That's courtesy of the Caps Radio Network. Oetkin has 42 goals this season, second most in NHL history by a player 39 or older. Gordy Howell had 44 back in 1968. That's your play of the day. Play of the day brought to you by Rapid Radios, the official walkie talkie of the DP show. Push to talk nationwide LTE network.

It's a reminder of how great Wayne Gretzky was. His 1963 assist are 1000 more than the next closest player. Now that's a record that'll never be touched. Gretzky is still the NHL's all time points leader by over 900 points that will never be beaten. So if you only count the assists, Gretzky would still be the league leader in scoring. And it's not a knock on Ovechkin. It's just a reminder of how great Wayne Gretzky was that he redefined offense. In the NHL, there have been a lot of great scores and a lot of great passers. In hockey, we focus on goal scorers, not those who have assist. But the fact that Gretzky. Oh, by the way, was doing that. Imagine if he was just a goal scorer. What would he have? 13, 1300. Something crazy if he just focused on that, if he was selfish. Now I'm not saying Ovechkin is, but he's known as a goal scorer. Brad hall known as a goal scorer. Mike Bossi, goal scorers. Lemieux goal score. But here's Gretzky. And I don't know if this is fair, and I've said this before, be like John Stockton if he was the all time assist guy and the all time scorer in the NBA. And Gretzky and John Stockton are probably no Gretzky smaller than John Stockton. But just to give you an idea of what he was doing and how he was doing it. Yeah, pulling, you know, if you look at Magic Johnson. His first few years. He was averaging like 18 and 11 when he got there. And then midway through his career, when Kareem left the Lakers, he had to bump up his scoring average. Magic Johnson had a season where he had 24 points per game and 12 and a half assists. And he was amongst the league leaders in both, obviously, assists. But it's almost like Magic could have scored more. Oh, sure. And I think that's the. Maybe the best comp with Gretzky. Well, he could have, but it wasn't best for his team for him to score more or he didn't have to, you know, and. And Wayne played on great, great teams and took advantage of those great teammates. Eric in Pennsylvania. Hi, Eric. What's on your mind? Hey, good morning, guys. I appreciate you taking my call. Yeah, the one comment I had regarding you brought up the NFL, and Brady or Aikman made a comment this season about 1,000 yards rushing and that we shouldn't really make that much of a deal about that anymore. And so games played, especially in the NFL, I think are really important. I don't know how much the NHL has increased their game count over the years or interestingly, it speaks to longevity. But how many games did it take? Ovechkin versus Gretzky. They did it in the exact number of games. Okay. Yeah. And that's impressive. But the NFL, you go back to that comment and rushing, I think that. That those statistics are stilled in a little bit. Ovechkin, 1487 games. The same number of games that it took Gretzky to achieve his career total, which is crazy coincidental. Michael in Ohio. Hi, Mike. What's on your mind? Hey, dp, thanks for the call. I wanted to bring up a play in the Red Sox game last night on Sunday baseball, and I wanted to see if you guys had any interest in comparing that and contrasting that to the NFL. So Christian Campbell jumped and caught like a little blooper, landed on the infield grass, reached into his glove with his right hand to then fire it around the infield, and he dropped it really quickly. The umpire signaled out in motion that he dropped it on the transfer. And Carl Ravitch on the call quickly said the same thing. And it just made me wonder, why in baseball are we so easy to use common sense on this catch and bobble? And in the NFL, we have such a hard time defining this. I am. I don't know if I'm ready for a deep dive on that today. There's a lot of other things to talk about. And I don't think it happens that often in baseball. Like football, you know, it's 17 games. Like, they're all important. Baseball, you got 162. Yes. I think there's a pretty obvious solution here, though, which I think the caller was suggesting. Football, especially wide receivers or people who catch the ball need to start using mitts on both hands. Once the ball enters what looks like a normal everyday, you know, glove and baseball, admit some sort then. Okay, Norman in Mississippi. Hi, Norman. Hello, Dan. Just comment on Seth Greenberg saying UNLV was the greatest college basketball team he ever saw. He never saw the 75 Indiana Hoosiers, not the 76 that went into undefeated, but the 75. UNLV did destroy Duke in the championship game, but in the tournament, they beat Ball State by two points and Ball State couldn't hit a free throw the last minute when they was ahead. Also a stat of the day. Rick Mountain you mentioned was the first high school basketball player to be on the COVID of Sports. Illustrate. Yeah, yeah. But Lebanon, Indiana, I think, for Rick Mount. Thank you, Norman. UNLV was dominating, but you gotta. You gotta win. They won one national title. They lost the other one. They dominated Duke in the title game and then ended up losing the semifinals to Duke the following year. But that was a wonderful team to watch, and it started with the defense. They were the running rebs after they played defense, that was, to me, their magic sauce. Gino Oriemma just won a national title. He'll join us coming up in 10 minutes. Dan Hurley, the men's basketball coach at UConn will join us in the final hour. One hour in the books. Two more to go.
