I'm going to call it reopening day. Dodgers already played the Cubs in Tokyo, so it's a, it's like a soft opening that you'll have, you know, stores will have a, a restaurant have a soft opening.

If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. Your opening day or reopening day odds Dodgers, the overwhelming favorites, followed by the Braves, Yankees, Phillies and the Mets. By the way, I have odds on who's going to hit a home run today and the best odds to hit a home run today. Not the guy who is homered on opening day the last five years in a row. Do you guys have any idea who has homered in five consecutive opening days? Anybody? Marvin? Andrew McCutcheon? No. I'm going to give you credit for that random Todd. Alex Bregman. Alex Bregman? No. Paul Ronald Acuna Jr. The third Nope. Seaton Michael Trout. No. Dang it. He's on the list. The best odds are Aaron judge, then Tyler O'Neal. Tyler, of course, he plays for the Orioles. He's homered on opening day five years in a row. That means he's been in the league for five years at least. How about that? Who knows? Here, come here. Here comes. That what? Stat of the day. All righty. A couple other items here. So we have opening day. LeBron James was on full display yesterday on Pat McAfee. And then last night had the game winning tip in for the Lakers. He didn't have a good game at least scoring wise, but 10 of his 13 points came in the fourth quarter and including the game winning tip in NCAA tournament coming up as well. But back to LeBron on Pat McAfee. And LeBron unpacked a lot of things. He was on for over an hour. Now, let me take care of sort of the ancillary stuff because this is what happens certainly in my line of work. Oh, I would have asked him, oh, if he comes on this show, I'm gonna. Okay, he's not coming on your show. He's not coming on this show. Maybe McAfee paid him. You know, Pat has certainly done well by paying his guest and he's gotten, you know, the publicity back tenfold. But I don't know. LeBron was in Indy. Pat show is in Indianapolis. I don't know if he said to him, look, I'll give you a million dollars. Come in, spend an hour. I was at a concert one time for DirecTV. Justin Timberlake performed. I think they wrote him a check for a million dollars. Hey, play for an hour. I mean, that's really what happened yesterday. And Mac has written checks before. Maybe he just said to LeBron, Come on in, sit down, pay a million dollars. I don't know if he did or didn't, but. And the other people, the other host who are saying, oh, I would have asked, this is who? Pat. Matt McAfee. Pat's not trying to be Mike Wallace. He's not trying to be me. He's not trying to be Bob Lee or Jeremy Shap or. He's just a guy who's having a good time making a boatload of money and a lot of headlines. That's all. Had the offer. LeBron took him up on it, and he had an opportunity to sit down and just let him go. And really, you know, McAfee didn't have to ask many questions because it felt like LeBron had things he wanted to get off his chest. Now, he got a lot of things off his chest, but I think he might look back on this and say he got a little loose, especially when he said the draft was possibly rigged when he went to the Cavaliers. Listen, man, you know, during the lottery drop, Cleveland got the number one pick. That's. I just don't think that was. Let's keep LeBron home. You know what, Patrick, you went to the Knicks. You know, Derek Rose to the Bull. I understand the assignment, guys. I'm, you know, so, you know, it's. I had to make sure that, you know, I had to do my part. Okay, first of all, I would say to Pat McAfee's Mac of Fiat or whatever, don't say anything during an interview. Let LeBron and Pat talk, because you're going to ruin good sound bites there. I mean, that would be the one thing I would say as a host to you guys, if LeBron said that. I don't want you guys chiming in. Rude. Well, it's just. Okay, your show, whatever. Yeah, it's. It's not whatever. It's not good radio, not good TV. You're. We're there to hear LeBron, not Pat's cohorts. And so that would be one of those where you go, hey, guys, let's just let LeBron talk. And, you know, when you start to look at it, was it rigged? It wasn't rigged. And, I mean, thank God David Stern is not with us any longer, because even though he's not the. He wouldn't be the commissioner, the acting commissioner now, you know, Adam Silver is now involved in this. Now, you brought him in on this. Now all of a sudden, we bring back Patrick Ewing to the nick. Now we brought in Derrick Rose to Chicago. I don't know. Did they rig it so Victor Wembanyama would go to San Antonio? I didn't understand that one. Somebody went Wemby to San Antonio in the thing. Like, why? How is that? Like, if there was a. If this was a SAT test and they said, which of these is not like the others? LeBron to Cleveland, Derrick Rose to Chicago, or Victor Wembanyama to San Antonio? That would be the answer. Yes, Paulie. When I heard LeBron say it, I first read that he said it, and then I heard it, and he doesn't appear to be kidding. Maybe a light poke or something like that. But it does seem a little odd, the coincidence that Ewing goes to the Knicks, LeBron stays home, and Derrick Rose stays home. It seems a bit coincidental Overly coincidental. And I think that's what LeBron was poking at. But do you think the other owners would be in line with this in lockstep and go, yeah, yeah, we're fine with this. They wouldn't have a choice in the matter. I would never. If I were fixing the NBA, I would never alert the owners that I was doing. I'd do it for the best league. I went back and looked at the 2003 NBA Draft Lottery. Okay. The Cavaliers had a 22.5% chance. That's tied with the Nuggets for the highest chance to win the lottery. This is back when the lottery was very much weighted toward the top three or four teams. Yeah. So they were not a surprise team in any way. Cleveland tanked. I mean, that's the one thing that happened. They tanked to get LeBron James. Do I think that it's fixed? No, I do not. Do I think it would make sense, like, if you wanted to send LeBron and you wanted to send him to New York at the time, I mean, the Knicks were in the lottery, so, yes, he got to stay in Cleveland, but Cleveland made sure they had the best odds to be able to get him. Yeah. See? And you know what? If you didn't send LeBron to New York and the Knicks, why didn't you rig it so Carmelo went there instead? He went to Denver to send him over to. Yeah, I don't think. I think LeBron is passive aggressive. I don't think he was kidding. I think he wanted. There were a lot of things he wanted to get off his chest. He wanted to get off his chest about the run in with Stephen A. Smith. He took a shot at Brian Windhorst, which I didn't think that was fair. I got. It was just like, he was unplugged, which was great for Pat McAfee. Show you got him and you just let him go. And Pat's not necessarily calling you in. You know, with Aaron Rodgers, Rogers would say a lot of things. Pat's just letting you go. Yes, Martin. Yeah. I'm not sure if it's so much passive aggressive anymore. It just seems I'm saying whatever I want now. So it's not even like a. I'm, like, hinting at this, like, him going at Stephen A. Him going at Brian Windhorse. Like, it wasn't. I'm. I'm insinuating these names. No, I'm saying these names like, oh, this. This reporter that's reported on me. No, Brian Windhorse thinks he's my Friend. He. Not my friend. I think 10 years ago. Passive aggressive is for sure. But why now is he saying this about Brian Wihorse? Because he's wealthy. Who? LeBron's wealthy. This. This feels like I'm. He's been wealthy and I don't care anymore. He's like, I'm in my 40s now. I don't. And then he, you know, the, the media and how they treated his son, and it just felt, I don't know, it was odd. It just was because he normally does a pretty good job. He's handled a lot of things brilliantly. But I, I don't know if he, like, it was an oh, woe is me, or, I don't know, just a strange feel that I got. And then, then all of a sudden he decides he's going to talk about how the players of today could play against the players of the 60s and 70s. The game is different and we should respect all eras in that era. You know, we can't be saying, okay, just because Wilt was great in the 60s and 70s that he'd be great now. And we also can't say to some of the guys, now be great. It is what it is. Respect that era and we move on. But the whole. Every single day that he's better, he's not better. He wouldn't. You trying to tell me Giannis wouldn't be able to play an NBA game in the 70s? He wouldn't be able to do. Neither would you. Giannis, Anthony Kupo would have 250 points in a game. In a seven. Okay, see, now you just disrespected Kareem and Dr. J and all the players who played in the 70s. Main. Why Giannis? Giannis would not be Giannis if he was playing in the 70s. He'd be playing with his back to the basketball. I mean, it wouldn't be shooting three. He wouldn't be who he is. He wouldn't develop the way he's developed. I mean, the rules back then, how you played back then. Is he getting 250? Well, Kareem didn't get 250. Are you telling me that Giannis would have been better than Kareem back in the 70s? And the answer is no. But I don't know why nobody said Giannis couldn't play back in the 70s. He would have played differently. LeBron would dominate in the 70s. He would be a different player. Yes, he would be great. I mean, they were. How would Larry Bird be today? He might be even better. He'd shoot more threes. Can't put your hand on him. I mean, he's six, nine out there, you know, leading the break for the Mike. This is, it gets to be silly sometimes. Yes. It seemed though like LeBron's point was comparing errors is stupid. We should stop doing it. I agree with that, but what did he just do? He said giannis would score 250 points in the 70s in a game. Yeah, I mean, I think he was, he seemed to be joking about, like, I don't think he literally meant he would score 250 points. I think, I think he was joking. I think he's saying that he would dominate now, the 250. He would dominate. Yeah, he would dominate though. No, he would be a completely different player. The evolution of the basketball player has brought Giannis to us in this form. Back then he would be a center with his back to the basket. They wouldn't let like that. No, he's not that kind of guy. He's, he's a perimeter. He beats you off the dribble. I mean, he's a guy who shoots, you know, threes. I mean, Joker, Joker back in the 70s would have been a back to the basket and he would have been able to play the way he does now. It seems to me though, like, it's like an odd thing that we do is we have these super athletic guys, right? Super athletic right now where they're doing this stuff, right? He's beating you off the dribble, he's doing all that stuff. But if you strip the game down and make it a little more basic and simple, he would fall apart. He wouldn't be able to play like that. No, no, it's not how, like, if, no, he wouldn't be given the opportunity. He wouldn't handle the ball. He wouldn't be on the perimeter. Coach would say, get down on the blocks. He might be this unbelievable. It's like Patrick Ewing at Georgetown. All he does is block shots, rebounds. He gets to the Knicks. He doesn't block shots and rebounds. He shoots mid range jumpers. He got, he got the opportunity to do that. John Thompson had him as an old fashioned center. Ewing brought the new center into the game or helped usher that in. Yes, but if, if we're saying that we're taking away all of the things that he does well now because he wouldn't have been that type of player then. He would have been trained be that type of player back then. So I don't, I just don't know that he, that, that Requires a skill set that he wouldn't have been able to figure out. Well, he's not dominating. Giannis would not dominate in the 70s. Would he be an all Star? I'm sure he would, but he would not be. He's so skilled now because they've trained him to be skilled now. They allow him to play on the perimeter, they allow him to take three. They would never let that happen. Never. Coaches would never allow that to happen. They just wouldn't, because they were stuck, you know, in that time period of this is how you played. You know, you're down on the blocks, you rebound, block shots, you know, you. You get a little jump hook in there or follow up, rebound, whatever it is. But, I mean, those are things he couldn't have been trained to do. I, you're, you're. He can be trained to do those things. What makes Giannis great now would not be used in the 70s. It wasn't used in the 70s. He would just be a back to the basket big man. They would not say, hey, lead the break. Hey, shoot threes. Even though they didn't have threes back then, they'd be like, stay down low. There were a lot of great big men in the 70s because they wanted to have big men in the 70s. You had to have a big man in the 70s. But I, maybe LeBron's joking a little bit there, but I think the point he's making is, let's not compare generations, which I'm all for. I'm all in favor of doing that, but it happens. It happens. When J.J. redick says, yeah, who are they playing against? You know, plumbers and electricians. Okay, that doesn't help. They played against who they played against. It's not like, man, where is everybody? Nobody's good around here. We get caught up in that. But I, I, you know, LeBron had a lot of things to say, a lot of things to get off his chest, you know, the Stephen A. Smith thing. And then, you know, that's going to continue. Stephen A. Is going to have things to say. And now all of a sudden, Stephen A's talking about, you know, if LeBron put his hands on him, then Stephen A. Is going to take us. Like, what are we doing here? What are we doing? Yes, but What I think LeBron was saying was if you drop them off as they are right now, I think that's what LeBron was saying. Not if they were trained that way, that they were trained in the 70s. Well, I know, but that's silly to say. Of Course, they would be dominating Giannis. They would look at Giannis like, wait a minute, there's a seven footer who's leading the break here and shooting threes and who. What's this? So that was LeBron's point. Yeah. Okay. It's not a stretch to say Giannis would be dominating this. This Giannis would be dominating in the 70s. That's not a stretch. Lucan would be dominating, Shay Gilgis dominating. I mean, there's a hundred, there are thousands of guys who probably would have had a great impact on the NBA, but that's not what we're. If that's what he's talking about, then that's, you know, it's a silly. There's not even a conversation, I was going to say argument. Yes, they would be great. Giannis would be playing differently in the 70s. That's the point I'm trying to make. Yes. How did I get different positions and you know, Dr. J might be four inches shorter. Right. But how did Dr. J manage to do that? He's. He's sort of like the, the godfather of modern basketball. Well, because they, he did it in the ABA and the NBA. You know, it was different. It was far more structured in the ABA. Dr. J was different than anybody else, but he was a playground legend and you had him in the open court. So he was a unicorn. Elgin Baylor was a unicorn. There. There's guys, there weren't enough guys, but there are guys where you go, that guy's just different than Everybody else. And Dr. J was different than anybody else. Yeah, Paul. And it's comical to think like, if you're bringing someone back to an era, if you're bringing LeBron back to 1977, you're going to transport him at the height and weight he is now, and he'd be back if he was playing then. There was no weightlifting whatsoever. He'd be 6, 8, 225 pounds at the most. And that's how he would have lived and built his life. And they would have put him, like you said, as a small forward or power forward. But if it's LeBron today, back then, he will dominate. It seems equally as comical, though, to think that he couldn't figure out how to play in that era. Well, look at the number of players who didn't play. I mean, they, I mean, is he going to figure out what, how to be able to dribble the ball and be able to shoot outside and all those things? Because nobody did that. There's no three point line back then. What's, what's he. They would have him inside. They just would. I mean, he would be used differently, plain and simple. There are a lot of guys who, if you look at them and how they were used and, you know, they probably had so much more talent, but they didn't get to expose that. But you didn't have big men who were on the perimeter shooting jumpers. Unless it's Bob Lanier. All right, we'll take a break. Just getting started. Let's see. So we have Wally Zerbiak coming up next hour and the Commissioner of the SEC, Greg Sankey. Your phone calls are welcome. 8773 DP Show. Back after this.

There's a type of soil in Mississippi called Yazoo clay. It's thick, burnt orange and it's got a reputation. It's terrible, terrible dirt. Yazoo clay eats everything. So things that get buried there tend to stay buried until they're not. In 2012, construction crews at Mississippi's biggest hospital made a shocking discovery. 7,000 bodies out there or more, all former patients of the old state asylum, and nobody knew they were there. It was my family's mystery. But in this corner of the south, it's not just the soil that keeps secrets. Nobody talks about it. Nobody has any information. When you peel back the layers of Mississippi's Yazoo Clay, nothing's ever as simple as you think. The story is much more complicated and nuanced than that. I'm Larison Campbell.

Prohibition it's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s. When we're five years into prohibition, the government is starting to go, okay, this isn't working. In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, Snafu, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula 6. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor, and all along, an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They were like superhero crusaders, turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did Prohibition's war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people?

But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deep fake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this?

Russell Wilson Jr III, introduced to the Giants media yesterday. Have a little bit of that as well. John Calipari, Arkansas head coach. He was on the Pat McAfee show and he was talking about the transfer portal. There are kids in the United States that are freshmen that deserve scholarships to college. That are not their 7, 800 will not get scholarships and they're good enough. But we're all waiting for transfers. So now that is what disappoints me the most. And part of the reason I won't change, I just can't do as many. You know, there are kids. I had a friend of mine called. My son's a Division 1 player. He doesn't even have the offer because everybody's waiting for this transfer. How many of my guys are coming back? How many transfers can I get? I may only have one or two scholarships for a freshman. Okay, he doesn't have to wait for the transfer portal. He didn't. I mean, at Kentucky, he got freshmen. It didn't work out. He got one title. All of that talent, all of that NBA talent that he had, and he learned, after years, he learned that he needed to have upperclassmen, you need to have a few of them. And he did that at Arkansas. You're still going to get a couple of recruits. I don't think there's thousands of high school seniors going, I'm not getting a scholarship because, well, these players are going all over the place. That means if that guy transfers, then there's an opening on that school. So do you wait? Because we're waiting to see where everybody's going this month. Yes, I understand that, but John doesn't have to wait. If John wants a freshman, five freshmen, six freshmen, go get him. Nobody's. Nobody's stopping you from that. We're making it seem like the transfer portal is. Is one big stop sign here. College basketball, we can't do anything right. Not right now. Okay, how many teams are still in the NCAA tournament? 16. What about all the other ones there? I'm going to guess those rosters are being filled up. And then you're going to have the high school recruiting period, and then you'll fill out the rosters. But John makes it seem like, oh, my God, the transfer portal. How do I deal with this? Yes, Paulie, Just to give a little context, I think what Coach Cal is talking about is right now is the portal. It ends in early to mid April. Then April 16 through 20 May 21 is high school basketball signing period. So I guess what he's saying is he can't give a verbal offer to a high school kid until he knows what he's getting with the portal this month because there's never any inappropriate contact with a high school senior. But every single. Or a transfer portal, I mean, come on, every single coach is in the same boat. It's not like he's at a disadvantage. Every coach has to follow the same exact rules. Yeah, but those coaches can be dealing with the transfer portal right now. All the other Division 1 coaches can go out and get players. This is the transfer portal window. And John can do it, too. He's just in the tournament now. And you'll get commitment. Why is it you can get a commitment from a sophomore, an eighth grader? Hey, okay, you got a commitment there. I think John is. I think he's building an obstacle here that doesn't need to be an obstacle. Yes, Marvin. I think in Caliper's case, I think he's legit waiting for transfers, because I'm looking at the McDonald's All American list. He's got two guys that are going to Arkansas. So he's like, I have my freshman now. I'm waiting for my adults to come in and see who transfers to Arkansas. But he can get them. Right now. The transfer portal is open right now. You got two McDonald's all Americans coming in now. You fill up your roster with those guys. So what? I don't know what he's waiting for. Yes, he. I mean, they got into that. Soundbite. There's one before that about NIL and how it's impacting high school recruiting. There's. There's no question about that. However, when he's talking about there's hundreds of kids right now, hundreds of freshmen who can't get. My friend, his son D1, can't get an offer that coach John Calipari, he can choose to take those freshmen. What he's doing is waiting for the better players in the portal. He's choosing the better players over this other kid. That. That has nothing to do with the system that is set up. It's a new wrinkle of the system that helps him get a better team. But if he wants to go give freshmen scholarships, he's more than go right ahead, do it. There's. Nobody says that you can't do that. There's hundreds of kids that can't get a scholarship. Then give them them. And this has become a big topic because the transfer portal is going on right now, and you have coaches who are trying to win another game and get to the Elite Eight. I understand that, but it is a fair question to ask, you know, Tom Izzo, I asked him, I said, you know, you got a balance between recruiting somebody and also trying to, you know, prepare for your next opponent. But who. Who put this, you know, put this in place. It wasn't the kids who did it. Once again, it goes back to the grownups. They did that to the sport. Nil. They did that to the sport transfer portal. They did that to the sport. Now, maybe we clean it up. Maybe we figure it out. A couple of phone calls in here. Ron in Virginia. Hi, Ron. What's on your mind today? Hello, Dan. Hi, Ron. How are we doing? Good. 63230 and growing. I'm a lifelong Lakers fan and going back to our beloved Jerry West. And I listened to the LeBron interview yesterday on Pat's show, and be honest with you, I was impressed. He was so brutally honest. It seemed like LeBron. I mean, normally we were hearing him. The game just ended, and he's exhausted. They might have lost. You know, we hear the same cliches over and over, but it seemed like it was, for the most part, totally unscripted, and it was just a relief to hear him just let it all out and everything. So. Yeah, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with him just because he was, you know, freewheeling there, unplugged. But that's the atmosphere that Pat McAfee has created on his show. And I think LeBron came in there and wanted to entertain. He wanted to have those guys laugh and smile. You know, Pat's gonna let you go. He's not gonna be grilling you. He's just talking to you. And LeBron had a lot of things that he wanted to get off his chest. Bill in Indianapolis. Hi, Bill. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. I think it might have been Marvin that said about LeBron. He's in his 40s, and I can tell you from experience, I'm way past my 40s. The filter. The filter starts to deteriorate at a certain point in your life, and then you get to a point where there is no filter, and you don't even know what you're about to say until you just said it. So, yeah, and I'm fine with that. I'm to that point, too, Bill. You know, sometimes I forget to turn on my turn signal. All right? Maybe I don't come to a complete stop at the stop sign. Yeah, Paul. So 40 in sports is like being 80 in life. Like, when I go visit my mom, all the cars just pull out. The people don't look. No turn signals. Head on a swivel. Michael in Chicago. Hi, Michael. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan. How you doing? Good, Mike. I just wanted to comment about the LeBron James topic and how he turned on your radio mike, turn down your radio, make it easier on you. Hold on. Get better. Yeah. Okay. Okay. He would have been great in any era, but he's not Jordan. And I agree with you 100% about the three best players. I think you've always said it was Jordan, Kareem and LeBron. I, I think that's the order. I think that's what happens. But I wanted to tell you, it's opening day in baseball and I want to ask you a question. Who do you think is the best player? Best baseball player of all time? Babe Ruth. Yeah, Babe Ruth. If you win, you know, 90 games as a starting pitcher and then you quit pitching and then you hit 700 home runs and he batted what, 342, he could have kept pitching and probably won, you know, 300, 400 games. So he didn't do what Ohtani is doing. I mean, this is what's going to be interesting with the mvp. Let's say Ohtani is good at pitching and good at hitting. This is like Travis Hunter at Colorado winning the Heisman. Like I, it's just so unique that I don't know if you can go, that guy had a better year. Ronald Acuna Jr. III had better year. How many games did he pitch? Like, it's, it just feels like there's a built in advantage for Shohei Ohtani to win the mvp. As long as he's healthy and he can do both. The fact that he didn't pitch last year, he goes, you know what? I can't pitch, but you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to steal bases. I'm going to steal 58 bases. Whatever he stole, it's like, yeah, good for him. Brandon in Orange County. Hi, Brandon. Hey, Dan. Dan, it's. I just wanted to touch on the Giannis playing in the 70s topic. The analogy that came to mind for me, it just seemed like there's some confusion between what you were trying to say and what the Dan Eds were understanding or trying to solve. But it's the analogy that came to mind is like automobiles or planes. Right. Obviously the planes of today, if you put them back with the Wright brothers, they would, they would dominate. Okay. You know, we wouldn't have the planes of today without the technology of yesterday. It's just a natural evolution of technology. Thank you. Thank you, Brandon. Yeah. Giannis would be, you know, this talent now, the way he is now. Yeah. He would be probably the best player in the game or certainly One of the two or three best players in the game. It's just, it took the evolution of the basketball player to get to the point where you're teaching Luca or Joker or Giannis these other players, but you needed those other players to get to this point. Yes, Mark. So who was the first player to really, like, buck the system and say, hey, you're six, eight, you should be down in the post. No, no, no, no. I can dribble. I can handle Magic, change the game. So he's the first. Well, Dr. J now, once again, I got to see Dr. J in the ABA. That was different than anybody else I'd ever seen. That was. I'm dunking on you. I'm. I'm just. I've got the ball and I'm always moving. He wasn't a great shooter, but he was a great scorer. Magic, though, when you all of a sudden your point guard, six, nine, that, that, you know, that that's where the NBA was like, you know, what are we doing here? And everybody. Then you had big guys who wanted to be point guards at six, eight, six, nine. Magic did that. So Magic changed the game. You know, Jordan changed the game, Steph changed the game. Dirk, you got to give him credit for big men, you know, changing the game is what, like, there's players who change the game. But Magic changed a position where all of a sudden, just like, Steph, hey, I can shoot threes. You had big men who were like, I can be Magic. I mean, Shaq wanted to be Magic. And I think, you know, that's the beauty of the evolution of the game. Derek and Fort Wayne. Hey, Derek. Hey, Dan. 5, 11, 175. Long time. First time. Let's go, Seaton. I was just calling in about. You guys were talking about John Calipari. And, uh, I guess what I feels like you guys may be missing is that if he can't talk to his players that are currently still in the tournament, then he can't figure out what freshman he can sign. No, he can talk to his players. I mean, he doesn't know what they're going to do. But, but you can talk to, you can walk up to your player and say, hey, player, tell me what you're thinking. Next year, maybe John doesn't want him back. Maybe he wants to bring somebody in. Maybe that player doesn't know that John is flirting with a transfer portal. Yes, he. Yeah, I don't, I don't know this, but is there not some, like, risk assumed with the transfer portal that if I'm playing right now and I'm in the tournament and I'm in the transfer portal flirting with other teams that, like, I might lose my spot at the team I'm currently at. I would say yes. I mean that to me, that's kind of the, like, all right, well, if you're going to have one foot out the door, I'm going to give, put this kid one foot in then, and I'm going to give this kid that I really like the shot then rather than you go find whoever. And it's kind of supply and demand. I get it. But I think you can navigate this. It's tricky, but you can talk to high school players. I mean, this stuff went on for years. It's just above board now where you would have people getting paid or I would be talking to a high school recruit or somebody's going to transfer in. I mean, this, this stuff has been going on for decades now. Yes, Marv and also Calipari can't afford Tyler Eulis and Devin Booker and Carl Anthony Towns in the Harris. He can't afford eight five star recruits anymore like he wants to because of Nil. Those are a bunch of five stars and they're all going to demand top dollar. So he can't do that anymore either. All right, we'll take a break here. We got our play of the day coming up next here. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. There's a type of soil in Mississippi called Yazoo clay. It's thick, burnt orange, and it's got a reputation. It's terrible, terrible dirt. Yazoo clay eats everything, so things that get buried there tend to stay buried until they're not. In 2012, construction crews at Mississippi's biggest hospital made a shocking discovery. 7,000 bodies out there, or more, all former patients of the old state asylum. And nobody knew they were there. It was my family's mystery. But in this corner of the south, it's not just the soil that keeps secrets. Nobody talks about it. Nobody has any information. When you peel back the layers of Mississippi's Yazoo clay, nothing's ever as simple as you think. The story is much more complicated and nuanced than that. I'm Larison Campbell. Listen to Under Yazoo Clay on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s. When we're five years into prohibition, the government is starting to go, okay, this isn't working. In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, SNAFU, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula Six. Because what you probably don't know about prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor. And all along, an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did Prohibition's war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people?

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal. But what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville.

Check this out. Throws up a shot and it's rebounded by Luca. LeBron leaked out. They didn't see him. Here he is down court. Luca with two for the win, tipped up and in. Will we count LeBron James at the buzzer? That's your play of the day, courtesy of the mothership. Lakers snap a three game losing streak. They move into a tie with Memphis for the fourth seed in the Western Conference. By the way, LeBron had 13 points. Ten of the 13 came in the fourth quarter. That extends his NBA record streak of consecutive game scoring and double figures to 1283. That's your play of the day brought to you by the great folks at Express Employment Professionals.

I don't even know if I got suggestions for the. We just dove right into Lebron James and didn't stop at go. Okay, what do we have, Steve? We have many suggestions. Okay. From each of the danets. As a matter of fact, I like it. We have one here from Todd. I might as well start with the tow. Today I'm all about your options are the Sweet 16, MLB Opening Day, LeBron's tip in slash, MJ's relationship, the latest NFL rumor mill, or self care. Self care. Okay. Todd's all about. Todd, are you all about self care today? I think I'm more about the sweet 16, but there are others. I want to provide the option for those that don't care about any of the other options or they're not big sports fans or they're just not big college basketball or baseball fans. They can go with self care. What is, what is self care? Self care would be maybe getting your nails done, maybe leaving work early or not going into work at all because you need one of those health, mental health days. But you could do that and still watch the tournament. You could. Or you want to just shut things down and you don't want the phones on, you don't want the TV on. You just need to get some sleep and just have a mental health day. Okay. Self care day. Yes. I'm so curious what the crossover is with our demographics of people who watch or listen to the show every day but are not interested in the Sweet 16, baseball's opening day, LeBron James or the NFL rumor mill. They're just actually interested in self care today. But I watch this sports talk show. Maybe this is their self care. I'm so curious what that demographic is. Oh, once our show is done, they just shut it all down. They don't want to know anything about sports except for the three hours that you provide them. Well, they're done for the other 21 hours. Maybe. You know when you see people who are on planes and they have their, their dog with them so we could be kind of your comfort dog. Maybe you're going for a mani pedi today or whatever. Guys and girls do it. I went for a pedicure not too long ago. I loved it. We're just the, your, your service show. We're, we're here for It's Comfort food. It's just soothing. Just. We're just there with you. Self care day. Okay, the other poll questions. Let's see, we got one here. This is it. Good for a sport to go into. This is from Paul. Is it good for a sport to go into the season with an overwhelming favorite to win the title? Yes slash no. So we're basing this off the Dodgers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But. But I remember growing up that there was always one or two teams, and those were the one or two teams that you had to beat. Now you have a bad guy, right? Yeah, but it's. It. You know, the Dodgers aren't like the evil empire. Not yet. Like the Yankees. They're working on it. It'll happen. But. But see, you don't dislike players on the Dodgers and the Yankees. You didn't dislike Bernie Williams or Tino Martinez or Paul O'Neill or Andy Pettit, but they were winning all the time. You know, the Dodgers are winning, but I don't. Maybe it's just how they're going about winning, but I don't think, like, nobody dislikes Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Clayton Kershaw. So are the Dodgers good for baseball? Would be the question I would ask. Okay. Because I would be curious. Are they, you know, having, you know, they just outsmarted everybody, too. They had the money, but they did. You know, you're deferring money. They outsmarted people. Are they good for baseball? I'd be curious what our audience thinks of that. Other poll questions. I'm curious to know if deferring all that money in 15 years from now is as smart as it feels today. We're going to have Tim Kirchen of the mothership on. I want to ask him about that. That, yes, it seems like a brilliant idea now, but I don't know if 15 years from now, where you're still paying off Freddie Freeman and Mookie $500 million still. He hasn't played here in 12 years. Yes, Paul, the Dodgers have deferred over $1 billion of payments to 2035 for seven different players. Okay. No problem. That's going to be a hell of a roster. Be a bargain then. Yeah. I won't be alive to critique it, though. Probably, you know, by then. Well, who knows? Yeah. Pie to the face. You know, what if I'm. If I'm dead in my casket, you can hit me with a pot in the face. Yes. Yeah. You know, just explain to my wife what you're doing just before it's Closed. Yes. Yeah, just smash me with a pie. Wait, what are you doing? I lost a bat. One final pie. I don't like that kind of talk. Yeah, well, you're gonna help put me in my grave earlier than I need to. Try to say something sensitive and kind, and this one comes back. It's your fault. You should know better. Sensitive and kind. All right. One hour in the books. I'm. I'm fired up today. I'm ready to go. Ready to go. Just don't put your hands on me. I might swing at you. Hour two on the way. Whoa. In Mississippi, Yazoo clay keeps secrets. 7,000 bodies out there. Or more. A forgotten asylum, cemetery. It was my family's mystery. Shame, guilt, propriety. Something keeps it all buried deep. Until it's not. I'm Larison Campbell, and this is under Yazoo Clay. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
