We have filet and strip steak, fondue, cheese fondue and chocolate covered strawberries. Who has it better than we do? We put the fawn in fondue and immediately when I went out there and I saw we were doing fondue and Todd goes a fondant. I go, no, we're not. We're not. We can't start doing. No, we're not doing that. Can we dim the lights at least and set the mood? If we're going to have that kind of food with the chocolate covered strawberries, sure. We should bring the lights down a little bit. You know what I can bring down? I can, I can bring down. I can bring down the curtain on you. There we go. You're actually doing that. I might start trying to mirror Paul's days off.

Thank you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates around the country. Over 400 cities that carry the program. Todd, you okay? I lifted the curtain on you. I'm okay now. I just don't like that for any extended period of time. Okay, we got great guest list. John Harbaugh, the Giants head coach, Mike Tirico will join us from Milan. And Noah Eagle, he's calling the All Star game. I don't even think he's 29 years. Is he like 28? 29 years of age? Yeah, I think he's 29. He's gonna be the youngest ever to call the All Star game. It's crazy. Yeah. His father, Iron Eagle, of course, the longtime play by play. He did Clippers game when he was 12. Did you know that he did his first Clippers game at age 12? Slow down. Today slow down. Four minutes in. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Just slow down. We can get in all of your one liners. You can do whatever you want today. Paul's not here. Okay, fair enough. All right, make sure you go to the website. We got some new T shirts up there. Including the D addle celebrating the defense of the Seattle Super Bowl Champion Seahawks. D, Todd. The adult instead of Seattle. Yes, because the defense. The Hallmark holidays. I did not know this, but there is a list of Hallmark holidays. And of course, you have Valentine's Day, but you also have Boss's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Friendship Day, Grandparents Day, Groundhog Day, National Doctors Day, National Nurses Day. I wasn't aware of three fourths of these. Obviously, Valentine's Day overshadows everything there. And then Mother's Day comes in second. Then Father's Day. I didn't know we really. I know we celebrate Groundhog Day. I didn't know we celebrated that with a card. But this according to Hallmark and according to Wikipedia. Yes, Todd. And because cards are so expensive, at least you'll have to do that once every four years. You've been to a Hallmark. It'd be $9 for a card. Thank you, Todd. All right, Seaton poll question for the first hour of this program is going to be one. Which type of competition do you prefer? International or. I'm going to say club, because I'm not really sure. I mean, team is. Is kind of the wrong word there, but do you like watching country versus country, or do you like watching just sort of your team that you root for? I think you spice it up occasionally with international. Like, I like the Olympics. I like that kind of competition. And I am curious about the All Star weekend with us versus the world. Yeah, I love the, like, international part of it. I do like it for some reason, and I'm not sure why, but I. I was watching. I was surprised to see the Italian hockey team. I was like, oh, dang, Italy's got a hockey team. This is great. This is awesome. You know, I think they got crushed, the game that I watched, but it was still a ton of fun. Like, all right, let's. Hell yeah. Team USA over Latvia yesterday, as Dylan was pointing out on the gambling podcast, Team USA giving 3 1/2 to Latvia. And Dylan, of course, took the 3 1/2 and Latvia ended up losing since the US won 5 1. It was a juicy line, Dan. And I bid hard. It was one one going into the second, so I'll say, yeah, that's a lot of hockey. Left to be played. Yes. Marvin. Yeah, I'm an international guy. We watching Nicola Jokic have that much passion because he's playing for Serbia. Yeah, he doesn't have that much passion play. No disrespect playing for Denver. So it didn't mean as much to him as winning the championship in Denver. Didn't mean as much to him as winning a bronze for his home country. Right? Yeah. And people pointed that out, and they're like, what? And I go, okay, Understand, he didn't grow up thinking the NBA winning a championship. He probably thought about winning a gold medal for his country or winning something internationally for his country. And to be able to do that in the Olympics with players you probably grew up with, you know, throughout your junior high, high school days, you end up winning a bronze medal. That's a. That's a huge deal. These are his friends, teammates growing up, the people he plays with in Denver, you know, they come and go. They're kind of coworkers. All right, so what other poll questions that we have for the first hour? Yeah, I think sticking with the Olympics for a minute, too, that the USA game had a couple of hockey game had a couple of goals called back. I think those pretty controversial. I don't think that hockey fans are too happy about that. This has been sort of a controversial Olympics so far. I didn't realize this. There's been a bunch of little stories that's kind of like, individually, they're not all necessarily great or super controversial, but when you start adding them all up, it's like, dang, there's been kind of a story or two a day. Well, you had. I guess it's called crotch gate accurate. You had the biathlete who confessed to cheating on his ex girlfriend. Well, that was that one. Like, dude, what are you doing? I just feel terrible because I cheated on my girlfriend 3 months ago or something. Well, he found the love of his life, his gold medal six months ago, but then cheated on her three months ago, and then ended up, you know, telling everybody, telling the world that he cheated on her, but he would love to have her. And then her reply is, great, thanks for making that all public information. Really appreciate that. Apology not accepted. You also have the scoring scandal or controversy with figure skating. Whenever there's judges involved, that's when it gets a little dicey for me. Open to interpretation. And then you have this judge from this country, and then all of a sudden you got a controversy. Ukrainian athlete was kicked out of the Olympics for wanting to wear a helmet honoring fellow Athletes killed in the invasion of their country. The IOC said that this was not about the messaging. It's literally about the rules and the regulations. I see decals on helmets all the time, it feels like. But maybe this was a political statement there in the ifc. Of course, nothing political to see here. But Mike Tirico will join us in the final hour of the program. He's had a busy week doing the super bowl and now hosting the Winter Olympics. The latest attempt to curb tanking. The NBA handed down fines to the Pacers in Jazz yesterday. And I don't know if this is related to us in the media talking about this the last couple of days because this tanking has been around this season. I don't know if it was like, all right, we got to do something before we go into the All Star weekend. That was my read on this, whether it's true or not. But you had Utah, that's a half million dollar fine. Indiana, $100,000. Go back to 2018 when we had then owner, Mavs, Mavs owner Mark Cuban on. And it cost him $500,000 when he admitted to me that they kind of had front office tanking and the NBA did not think too keenly on that cost him a half million dollars. The Jazz were fined $100,000 for sitting Laurie Marketen in multiple games. So the discipline is public, the headlines loud. But the behavior didn't change and probably won't change if you have that great talent that's possibly there for the lottery, it's going to continue. And really that's the core issue that the league may mean business, but intent and impact are not the same. And until losing no longer affects the payoff, the fines will probably continue here. But here's a team worth three and a half billion dollars. So what's a $500,000 fine? And as we move forward, you probably have four players in this draft who will probably come in and contribute, if not start right away. Yes, Marvin. And optics don't look much better for the Jazz because Jaren Jackson Jr. Is now out for the rest of the season. Whether it's true or not, whether he's really injured or not, it just doesn't look good for the Jazz. Well, they got fined in a game where they sat Jaron Jackson Jr. And Laurie Markkanen and they won the game. They. They sat them for the fourth quarter and that's what the owner of the Jazz said. Wait a minute. We got fined in a game we won. But I think if we were, you know, giving Some truth serum here. Everybody would be admitting that Washington is tanking. Sacramento is probably tanking. India, Indiana's tanking. The Jazz are tanking. So they've been Pacers tanking. Yes, Marvin. Well, Sacramento doesn't need much help in tanking. They're already bad enough. But I get what you mean, though. I thought that they were back a couple of years ago. I go Sacramento, I think, is my team this year. Oh, you were on the Tyrese Halliburton train. You loved him in Sacramento. You were like, man, that guy's a star. And what happens two years later? He gets traded and he takes the Pacers to the Finals. I know. It just feels like. And then I have a friend who lives in the Bay Area, and he'll go to Sacramento to watch a game. Depending on the team, the visiting team coming into town at the, like, they act nice to the owner so they can get good seats. So they can get good seats to watch the other team play. All right, 8773 DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle it DP Show by the way, I have the MVP odds according to DraftKings for the all Star Game. Victor Wembanyama, he is the big favorite to be the mvp. I saw where Robert Ori. Now I'm paraphrasing here. The former Laker great and Rockets great didn't put Victor in his top five players in the NBA. Am I reading that right, Fritz? He didn't. I read the same thing, that he's not listed among his top five. He doesn't consider him a top five NBA player right now. Yeah. All right. Well, all right. If you do top five, you're going to do Joker sga, Giannis. Out of sight, out of mind. I'll go Wemby. Well, no, I'm just saying, let me find. Are there five guys I'd put in front of him? And I would say no, but Robert Ori said that Victor is too inconsistent. And I'm like, okay, 22. Yeah. But I would say he's one of the top five players in the sport, and he'll be your MVP favorite. Coming up this weekend, Chris in Syracuse leads us off. Good morning, Chris. What's on your mind? Hey, thanks, Dan. Got a couple things to throw at you. Hey, a lot of talk yesterday, yesterday about how to spice up the All Star weekend. Now, I know you can't do this during All Star weekend, but I remember during the 70s, at halftime on Sunday afternoon, Game of the week, which was the only game of the week they used to have. It was taped one on one games and it was an elimination tournament like the NCAA between NBA stars. And it wasn't by position. Like I think I remember once Calvin Murphy was going against Connie Hawkins. It was first attend by one's hat court outside. I used to love it. And also some people are complaining that the Wizards let Anthony Davis have Michael Jordan's number 23. I mean, come on, it's not like the Bulls let him have it. And I would guess MJ couldn't care less. And lastly, logistically, it's certainly possible. I wonder if John in Illinois and Rich in Chicago go to the same anger management class. And at this week's meeting, the therapist is probably saying, who the heck is Dan Patrick? Thank you, Chris. Yeah, I'm getting roughed up in Illinois, staying in my lane. I don't like you. I know Illinois doesn't like it. Apparently not Chicagoland, Greater Chicagoland area doesn't like. Yeah, Chicago liked me, you know, during the Jordan years when I was there. You were there? Yeah, when I was there, I, I covered, I covered Michael, let me see Eric in Washington and we'll take a break. Hey, Eric, what's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. Eric, I just wanna. Yes, I want to appreciate you very much, by the way, because the conversation you had with Bo, that pushed me. I'm 52 years old and that pushed me to go to my doctor and get that test. Good, good. And I hope more people follow what Bo Jackson was saying. And thank you, Eric, because Bo is saying I had cancer, you know, prostate cancer surgery three months ago, and I'm fine, I'm healthy. And he goes, if I can get it, anybody can get it. And that's why don't, don't wait until somebody says 50 for your colonoscopy. Don't wait for any of that. There's no rules that say you, you can't get this cancer. And there's no rules that say you can't be preemptive at an earlier age. And I would strongly suggest that. Ask about prostate, ask about colon cancer and you know, you'll find out how prevalent it is. I think the numbers are like 1 in 8 adults, male adults fall victim to this or at least have symptoms of this. All right, and again, my thanks to Bo Jackson, because I had no idea that Bo was going to tell me that because he said, I've never told anybody. And I thought as soon as he did, I don't know if he realizes just what he did for other people in America that, yes, it's okay, go get it. Yes, it's weird and uncomfortable and all of those things, but get it done. Because you know what's worse? If you don't get it done. We'll take a break here. Just getting started on this Valentine's Day. Nothing says Valentine's Day like a colonoscopy, right, Todd? It's very romantic. Thank you. We'll take a break. We're back after this.

If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. Nlp, AKA Neuro Linguistic Programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain. It's about engineering consciousness. Mind Games is the story of nlp, its crazy cast of disciples, and the fake doctor who invented it at a New Age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all, nlp, might actually work. This is wild. Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt season two podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun, tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Jermaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Jermaine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth. Until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of guilt season two on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What is one thing about love you've had to unlearn? That it's earned, that it needs to be forever for it to count. February is the month of love. Whether you're in a relationship, casually dating, or proudly single, it's a great time to reflect on yourself and what you want. I'm Hope Woodard, host of the Boy Sober podcast, and each week this month, we're looking at love from every angle. I don't know how to tell my partner, like, what I want in bed. The thing about romantic fiction, I would say more than any other genre of culture, is that it's always put women first. My marriage stopped making sense. The connection started to feel off. The behavior started to feel different. This February, get in touch with yourself by Listening to voiceover. That's b o y s o B e r. I'm like, I would love to not hate the man I'm sleeping with.

The oldest player in NBA history to post a triple double, surpassing Carl Malone. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of this program. David in Ohio. Hi, David. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. Happy Meat Friday. Nobody. I got some Valentine's Day sports names for you if you'll have me. First one's Jalen. Don't hurt my heart. I got Tyler. Will you Murray me? I got James. Cook you a nice dinner. Josh Allentine. And for Shane Irving, Jerry won't get a ring Jones. Thank you. Alrighty, David. Thank you. Have a good weekend there. Todd will have his names, I believe, later on. Yeah, why not? Okay, Are you combining Friday the 13th and Valentine's Day? Right now it's just Valentine's Day. Okay. Okay. Are there any new additions to your Valentine's Day? A lot of old ones. I'm trying as we speak to think of some of the more modern names that may have a Valentine's Day. This is the problem that I have. I want it to be fresh. You keep going back to the same names, but much like the medium of radio, people, you know, are in and out of tuning in, and it could be. It could be a first time for many listeners hearing that. Oh, that's what we're banking on. Okay. Totally banking on. All right. And what are we doing with Friday the 13th? I'm curious to know about odd superstitions. Not black cats and don't walk under a ladder and things like that. Or, you know, don't step on the foul line. If you're a pitcher, you're gonna get rocked. But if I'm curious if callers have any very. What would be bizarre superstitions that people would find very weird that would fascinate me. Fascinate you? It would. Okay. Yeah. I'm betcha there's some very weird superstitions. Like, really? That's what you have to do, Marvin. Such as what? I don't know. That's why I'm asking the callers to help us out here. Marvin brought up one about Cutting the wedding cake? Yes. Oh, just cake in general. Birthdays, baby showers, kindergarten, graduations. Oh, wait, it's not just wedding cake. Okay. No, no, no. So. So my son's first birthday, they were all, you know, sing happy Birthday. And we cut the cake, and I'm really ready to pull out the knife out of the cake in my wife's entire family. No, no, no. Do not pull that out, because that means someone's going to get pregnant. I'm sorry, what? And they. Is this an Italian thing? I guess. Because in every single family party of my wife, like on my wife's side, it's always like this. Don't pull that. Don't pull that knife out. And I just don't get it. And so to make everybody angry, I try to pull out as fast as I can. Didn't sound right, but I know what you're talking. Okay. And then Fritzi brought up one where he stepped over his brother, and my mom, with a shrieking sound, said, what did you do? Step back over me. You'll stunt his growth. So I'm wondering if that's just a weird Naomi Fritz thing from back in the day. My mom. Or is that a thing where you're not supposed to step over someone or they'll stop growing? Well, your brother didn't stop growing. No, he's a big guy. Yeah. So maybe it worked. I'd never heard that one. Either you step over somebody and then you got to step back or you'll stunt their growth. Yeah. And then, like, you know, self pleasuring can cause blindness. There's all kinds of things out there. I don't know if we're talking about pulling out of a cake. I could say that. No, that one is true, I think. Let's see. Brian in Illinois. Hi, Brian. It's going to be one of those mornings. Hey, Brian. Good morning, Dan. I'm calling you today. You were talking about the Hallmark earlier and it got me thinking. I wanted to say I'm a new member of the dead dad's club. And while going through. My dad passed away Christmas Eve, and while going through his stuff, I found the this is SportsCenter ornament, and I was wondering if I could send it in to you to have it signed. Yes, you can. Yeah, that would be wonderful. Thank you. Tyler will help you with the address here and send it in. And I'll send it back. Jeff in Tampa. Hi, Jeff. What's on your mind today? Hey, D.P. i know we got this thing going on with the NBA teams. The Tanking problem. I was just wondering how you feel about 14 teams. 14 lottery balls? No, weighted lottery. I mean, I know you might have a team, you know, trying to get out of the play in, but that's still way better than 10 teams competing to be the worst of the worst. Yeah, this is something that's got to be on the front burner with the commissioner and the NBA because these teams are just putting it right out there. Like you're not reading between the lines. You don't, you know, have to have anybody who is going to be doing some clandestine mission to find out if somebody's tanking or not. Now it's. And this might come down to an independent doctor who is going to examine your players. And is that where we're headed with this? Just so they can say like Lori Markanen of the Jazz, who's Utah's best player, he was resting two games and I think the NBA, NBA frowned upon that, that he was resting. And I don't know if we get to an independent doctor who's going to be examining these players. Do you really have an injury? I mean Trey Young hasn't played, I don't think since he was traded from Atlanta. Anthony Davis down for the rest of the year. And I don't know how legit this is. Jaren Jackson Jr. He's down for the rest of the year. Yes, Marvin. And the play in tournament was a way to try to discourage every single team that wasn't eligible to get into the playoffs to try to still compete. JR in Indiana. Hi Junior. What's on your mind? Hey, thanks for taking my call. Appreciate it. Second time, long time. 5 9. An 85 pound Pacific. Less down to 220. Talking about the tanking, it is crazy. Never had to go through it before. I'm a Pacer fan and man, I tell you that seeing them tank, we know that. But the craziest thing is the Pacers have won two games in a row. You said they've been fine. The Pacers go to the Garden and beat the Knicks and then in a back to back they beat Brooklyn. A team that we all want them to lose to because they're neck and neck as far as the top four picks. So I think it's crazy. Nothing is fine. So I think you better pull over. Thank you, Junior. The Pacers are accused of violating the NBA's Player Participation Policy in connection with the game against the Jazz. An NBA investigation included a review by an independent doctor found that Pascal Siakam and two other starters all were Held out, could have played under the policy's medical standard. Siakam was officially held out due to rest, but the NBA said the Pacers could have held the players out of other games in a way that would have better promoted compliance with the policy. The Jazz won that game over Indiana. Man. Big brother's watching now. Yes. Dale, wasn't the whole point of the draft lottery so that this was a non issue way back when? Yeah. Then why is it still such a big deal? I mean, well, you've got four or five players that are going to help your franchise right away. I mean, imagine if you're Utah and you're going to get AJ Debanza. He might be the best player, you know, in the sport or college wise and you're going to get him, plug him into the lineup right away. But we've seen teams get job to buy the lottery. Oh yeah. So it's like it's not a proven science. No, it's not. Look at Dallas getting Cooper flag Curtis in Illinois. Hi, Curtis. What's on your mind? Morning, D.P. no hate from Illinois today from me or hopefully anybody else, but I don't have a fix for the NBA All Star game because I don't know what you do, but for the Pro bowl weekend I have an idea that I think would work great and that's that you just have a third place game the week before the super bowl and you just take the losers from the AFC and NFC Championship game. And this year might not have been that great with Bo Nicks getting injured, but like if Buffalo had won, I think Buffalo and the Rams would have been a better game to watch the week before the super bowl than the super bowl actually was. And maybe you give them the incentive of moving up five spots in the draft, 10 spots in the draft to actually win the game. Yeah, we brought up the two last place teams or two worst teams they should play, you know, maybe that Saturday before the super bowl and the winning team gets the number one pick in the draft. But then somebody might say, well, they're a better team than the other team. The other team needs help. They prove that they were the worst team in the NFL by losing that game. But I don't know if we could come to a consensus on this. You know, I do. I think the Raiders tanked. Well, you sit down. Max Crosby, who wanted to play even though he was technically injured. And you know, that's something that Tom Brady's got to deal with now because this has gone up the food chain with the Raiders With Max Crosby's future there, he wanted to play that badly. They didn't want to win those games. Yes, it's like weird to say, but the only way to really fix the tanking problem is to remove rewarding teams who are at the bottom of their leagues. Yeah, but how do you get better then if we don't give you an opportunity to get better through the draft, I mean. Well, I. It always comes back to this for me. So I'm sorry, but if you had more teams and promotion and relegation and an academy system, if the Knicks were able to start taking New York City or tri State area players, the Knicks and the Nets, and they started training them from when they were like 7 years old and invested in them that way, then there is no more draft, there is no more tanking, There is no more losing on purpose for anything. Yeah, but then it's just competition based. Yeah, but then you could move your family to that area. Correct. To be able to, you know, grow up and play for the Knicks. Correct. Correct. Yes. Okay. Yeah, you could move your family anywhere if you had a better chance to go play in Denver, then move to Denver if you want. But if you were able to do that kind of thing, there would be way more teams everywhere, you know? Rich in Athens. Hi, Rich. What's on your mind today? Hey, guys, Hope you are doing well. I've got some in honor of Valentine's Day. I've got some rhyme times. I got a few of them here, if you'll indulge me. So the first one is not smart Cherub. Not smart Cherub. Fritzi. I had dumb plum. I'll go ahead and give you the answer. Unless you want to guess what is it? It is Stupid Cupid. All right, the next one again. Valentine's Day. Okay. Candy Stop Time. Candy Stop time. What is the Valentine's Day candy? What's the most popular ones? And then what does an NFL quarterback do? Chocolate Clock it. Chocolate clock it. Okay, your rhyme's about as good as I did in the last one. Fake Valentine's Day. So we got archery songbird. Archery songbird. Todd, you got any guesses here? Slinger and singer. That's a good. That's a good guess. It's actually arrow and sparrow I got for you guys. I hope you enjoyed well. Thank you, Rich. That's Rich from Athens here. Yes. Some consolation prizes back. We do. We do Tom in North Carolina. Hi, Tom. Hey, Tom. Yeah, I just wanted to, you know, you guys did great in San Francisco. Just wanted to give you a kudos on that, you know, the hard hitting, the interviews and things like that. But I did want to ask a, you know, a hard hitting question is the DP show? And I mean, I heard you guys talking about the celebrity family Feud yesterday. So is the DP show the 85 Bears of celebrity Family Feud? I don't know the other winners, we were pretty impressive. I think Fritz, he did a wonderful job. We were losing, though, early. We were down like 55. Nothing out of the gate. Yeah. So it was. And you know, the show was taped in Atlanta, so the Rich Eisen show, they were the Falcons and we were the Patriots. Just saying we came back and dominated, but I don't know where we rank among point total greatest of all time. But it was inspirational. I don't know if there'll be a 30 for 30 on it, but there should be. Yes, Marvin. After the first round, man, we went to work on them after that. Yeah, I think C probably had the most answers. He probably had like four or five right answers. We had a viral moment with the Aquaman answer. Yeah, Fritzi, you killed it in fast money. You were so happy on the way back. Oh, my God. You were so happy on the way back. I. I just didn't want to have one of those moments. And even at the very end, the. The last in the fast money, I didn't hear the clue. And I even said to you guys, I said I didn't hear where it was like you put berries on or what, you know, sometime kind of berries. But I didn't hear Steve when he said it. And then I came back over, and then my phone is blowing up. When we get done, people like raspberry, strawberry, man, didn't, you know, blueberry. I'm like, I don't want to tell everybody I didn't hear what the clue was. And so therefore, I didn't get that last answer or we would have, I mean, put up a big, big number there. But Fritz, he dominated. I think we might have hit close to 300. I think we had 217 and we didn't get to my last answer. And if you would have said any kind of Barry, we would have been flirting with a three spot there. Thank you, Todd. You're welcome. Alrighty, how about we take a break? Up next, our play of the day.

If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. Nlp, AKA Neuro Linguistic programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain. It's about engineering consciousness. Mind Games is the story of nlp, its crazy cast of disciples, and the fake doctor who invented it at a new age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all, nlp, might actually work. This is wild. Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt season two podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun, tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Jermaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Jermaine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth. Until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of guilt season two on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What is one thing about love you've had to unlearn? That it's earned, that it needs to be forever for it to count. February is the month of love. Whether you're in a relationship, casually dating, or proudly single, it's a great time to reflect on yourself and what you want. I'm Hope Woodard, host of the Boy Sober podcast. And each week this month we're looking at love from every angle. I don't know how to tell my partner, like what I want in bed. The thing about romantic fiction, I would say more than any other genre of culture, is that it's always put women first. My marriage stopped making sense. The connection started to feel off. The behavior started to feel different. This February, get in touch with yourself by listening to Boy Sober. That's B o y s o B e r. I'm like, I would love to not hate the man I'm sleeping with. I don't know what that's about. Listen to voiceover on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

We'll talk to the new Giants head coach, John Harbaugh. Top of the hour. Seaton, would you update the poll results? Yeah we got up there right now. Which type of competitions do you prefer, International or Club? International have 65% of that vote. And we have one here from Paul, as a matter of fact. Which bothers you more about the Utah Jazz, Their recent tanking or the lack of Jazz in Salt Lake City right now? The lack of Jazz in the city has about 67% of that vote. I agree with that vote. Okay. That is a huge problem. Yeah. I would gladly pay $500,000 if my team is worth 4 billion if it meant that we would end up with the number one pick in the draft. When you think about it, 500,000. The Jazz are worth 4 billion. Okay. You know, you get the public shaming by the commissioner, but it feels like all of the tanking talk the last two or three days that the commissioner maybe had to do something going into the All Star weekend just to say, hey, I'm still the commissioner of this league. There will be no tanking while there is tanking. Scott in San Diego. Hi, Scott. What's on your mind today? More. And Dan. Morning. Dead. I was just calling about, you know, we talk about this all the time, right? Taking in all kind of sports, but specifically NBA. But what if we had some kind of limit? What I was trying to say, you know, you put a limit on these players, on how many games they can play to be in the All Star Game or MVP votes. But what about if you did it for the team? Like say, okay, you're the worst team, but you have to win so many games to be the worst, you know, to be with incentives. I don't have an answer to it, Scott, because it's been going on for quite some time. And the fact that these teams are so overt in saying, yep, that's what we're doing. We're going to sit these guys, you know, managerial tanking because people get caught up in. These guys are playing hard. Yes. You're not necessarily putting your best players on the floor. And that's what cost Mark Cuban a half a million dollars when he admitted they had front office tanking. You didn't put your best team on the floor. Those on the floor play hard. That's not your best team. And that's why he was fined a half million dollars. Josh in Vermont. Hi, Josh. What's on your mind today? Big morning. Josh in Vermont, first time. 5, 10, 185. Calling, calling about the tanking idea. What if instead of going based on just the win loss record, you set up a committee to vote on the draft order and that way, they can look at a team and say, well, they're clearly tanking. They're better than their record, therefore they get a higher draft pick than the record shows. I think the last thing we need is another committee. It feels like we got a lot of committees, but, yeah, you know what? We'll take it under advisement there of how do you. How do you curb this? And do you want to reward the worst teams in the NBA? But how do you reward them? And reward is probably not the best way to phrase that, but they are a bad team. They need help. We've seen this down through the history of the NBA, where one player can change the entire. I mean, look at what LeBron did for the city of Cleveland. Not just the team, the downtown. He probably added a couple of hundred million dollars to downtown Cleveland. He revitalized downtown Cleveland. I mean, that. That's one player for your team. Giannis, with what he did with Milwaukee, with downtown. These are hundreds of millions of dollars. That one player. Now, how often do we have those players come along? Well, Giannis wasn't a number one pick overall. Joker, not a number one pick overall. Sometimes you can get that number one pick, and all of a sudden that guy is not, you know, transformational, that maybe it's the fifth pick, the 10th pick, 12th, and that. That's where we get geared up. Anthony Bennett was a number one pick overall. Markel Fultz was a number one pick overall. Michael Oluwa Candy, a number one pick overall. LaRue Martin a number one pick overall. You can have the pick. It doesn't mean it's the right pick. Yeah, Dill. What if they kind of applied like a college football eye test thing and be like, all right, this team legitimately stinks. They're not tanking, and then kind of go off that a little more. Okay, but are you trying to legitimately stink? Like, you can say, man, Washington's not. Washington's not any good every year. Even when they're not trying to tank, they're not any good. But I feel like you can be like, they're just legitimately bad. There's no funny business going on. Give them the first pick every year. Give the Wizards the first pick. Until things change, they would still screw it up. They're like the Jets. They would. Yes, they are the basketball equivalent of the Jets. Lamont in Arizona. Hey, Lamont. Hi. This is Lamont. 6ft, 195, 3 quick stick. I was just. I wanted to know. Play of the day. What does that say? Twitter left. I got it. Jeter. I don't know. The second thing was, when it comes to the All Star Game, I think. I think the NFL gets it right. You should do it at the end of the year. And then you have all of these people playing for pretty much generational wealth. I'm not going to play hard and then risk my lifetime contract in a meaningless game in the middle of the season. And then the third thing, I think it was you. I'm not sure, but someone used to say, like, how come they just don't, you know, come out for low management purposes, play like a half. At least people get to come out and see them. And then you have. Who was it? Utah? Did that exact same thing. Set them down in the fourth quarter and they still get fine. Like, it doesn't. I don't know how you get around it, but I think Utah kind of did it right. You get to see him for at least three quarters, and then you rest them in the fourth. And. And that's not too much wear and tear, but. Well, I don't know how many people came out to see Laurie Marketing or Jaren Jackson Jr. In Miami, but I understand what you're saying there. Who's playing in the celebrity All Star Game at the NBA All Star Game? Do we. Do we have the lineups there? We do. Okay, Do. It's interesting. I don't know if we're going to have enough time to run through them all here. Okay, just give me a couple of names because I know. See, is. Is. I know. Do you want that? Jeremy Lynn is playing in this. Jeremy Lynn is in there? Yes, yes. Keegan Michael Key is in there. That's fun. Taco Fall. Wow. Is in there. Shams Sharonia is in there as well. Amon Ra Saint Brown. Okay. Yeah. Okay. All right, let's see. Mustard is in there. Mustard's a very famous producer. Okay. Keenan Allen. Okay. Jason Williams. White Chocolate. Oh, boy. I'm going early. MVP Odds. He is going to light people up. There's a lot of people in here that I don't know. I gotta admit, J. Will is gonna hit people in the head with some of his passes. Hell, yeah. People are gonna be like, what? You know, I do love, too, that he is. You know, I feel bad saying this, but it feels like Shams might have a little bit of a target on his back for this game. Just saying. I feel like someone like Jason Williams, as soon as he gets out there, is like, see me up. He's pounding the floor. He's doing whatever. He's going right at that dude. It's going around his back, over his neck and then through his legs to a pass. Yes, I heard Mustard has a golden jumper from the corner. Thank you, Todd. We'll run down the rest of the celebrity and there's a lot of tiktokers and social influencers and Internet influencers. Then I'm not quite aware. Is Mr. Beast playing? Is he on the list?
