So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts. This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope about the rise of deep fake pornography and the battle to stop it. Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. It's hour two on this Thursday. Dan and the Dan It's Dan Patrick Show. Check in with the Celtics after they lost again. Knicks come back from 20 down. They're up 20 in the series. Game 3 will be Saturday afternoon in New York City. Thunder rolled the Nuggets 149 to 106. That series tied at a game of peace and the warriors are ten and a half point underdogs at Minnesota. Coming up in Game 2, the injury to Steph Curry. The initial report was he would be out for a game. I text the Danettes and I said he's out for the next couple of games. He's not coming back until at least game five. They have upgraded that. As far as the report, he's been downgraded even further. But he probably is not coming back for at least a week and that would mean he'll probably be back for game five. Best case scenario. And if you're Golden State, if you can somehow steal this game and go back home, you know Minnesota is going to show up at some point and maybe the series is even at two a piece. Best case scenario and you get Steph back for Game 5. One thing to focus on tonight, if you watch the game, I know we normally don't focus on this is Golden State's defense. Since they got Jimmy Butler, you got Draymond Green. They are a great defensive team and you saw that against Minnesota. They frustrated them. They didn't even get 90 points. But that would be something to keep an eye on. If Golden State is going to steal this one, they'll steal it by playing great defense again. 8 7, 73 DP show operator Tyler, the birthday boy sitting by, he'll take your calls. We'll check in with Cedric Maxwell, the former Celtic great and Celtic Analyst. He'll join us momentarily. The actor Vince Vaughn will join us coming up a little bit later on as well. Poll question Seaton for hour two is going to be what? By the way, we say hello if you're watching on Peacock, that's our streaming partner. And we say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country. Yes. Yeah, we got up there right now. If you were betting Knicks in seven or Celtics and six right now, that just tied at 50. 50, boy. 50, 50. Let's bring in Cornbread Max, Celtics radio analyst and former MVP in the 1981 NBA Finals. All right, Cedric, how do you explain the Celtics are down 20 and heading to New York on Saturday? Didn't shoot the ball well. It was very simple. And didn't execute early in the basketball game. The first two games they shot the ball well. They executed and, and then they got executed in those second halves. They didn't play with any ferocity. They didn't play any defense. And the Knicks just. The Knicks deserved to win. And then I thought I had. I thought people were obnoxious in la. When I thought about the Laker fans, they got nothing on the Knick fans, they got nothing. I have gone to another height of hatred now. Oh, my God. Oh boy. Wait till Saturday night. Wait till Saturday. Wait till they lose Saturday night. Now, a lot of analysts, you got a lot of experts saying the Celtics need to change. You're not making threes go inside, get to the free throw line. Can they change? And do you buy into that offensive philosophy when you're not shooting well from three point range to change it up? Well, Dan, you know, I was, I was old school, so we played in the paint. Whipper, Mikhail Parish, those guys, we played in the paint. But I'll put it this way. When you went to the prom and you were with your pretty girlfriend, did you change and see another girl and went home with the other one? No. You stay the course and you did what you normally do, you stay with. And Joe Missoula believes that his team is going to shoot better. They can't shoot as poorly as they have in the last in these two halves and lose the basketball game again. Is Jayson Tatum in your mind a top five player? Yes. Yes, he is. And then I asked you one of these questions. We talk about one of the greatest power forwards of all time, Kevin McHale. Do you make points he averaged in the championship game against championship series against the Houston Rockets in 1981. Can you take a guess? 10 points? 4. 4 points. So what I'M saying by that is the others have to do better. You got to get. If Tatum isn't shooting the ball well, Brown has to step up. The year that Larry bird had in 1981, he averaged 13 points, 15 points, but he averaged 15 rebounds. So other people have to do other things to step up and make it easier for Tatum when he's not shooting the ball well. So, okay, let's run down the list here. If he's in the top five. So, Joker sga. Yes. Do you put Luca top five? No, no. Anthony Edwards. I wouldn't put him before Tatum. Giannis up and down. I think. I think he had a better. I think Jason Tatum had a better year than Giannis. So, I mean, there's no. I mean, you. If you go, then there's no clear cut. So. No, no, no. I put Giannis over Tatum. Yeah. So you can't tell. All right, you said Giannis over Tatum. Where else you going with that? I'd probably still put Luca there. I wouldn't put Luca there. No, no. Luca doesn't. Luca doesn't play enough defense. And this is why I have to believe in the great Kendrick Perkins. He said Luca might be the best superstar non defensive player in the history of basketball. He can score your points, but he gives them up in bunches. So I can't go that way. I love his greatness on the offensive end, but not on the defensive end. But you know what? We pick and choose with that because did anybody ever go, man, Magic Johnson, what a defender. No one ever said anything about Magic's defense. Bird was not a good defender. Barkley said, as long as Larry's on the floor, there's always somebody who's worse on defense than him. Well, let me. Let me say this then, Dan. Do you know that Larry Bird made all defensive teams several times? Yeah, but because he came up with steals, he played the passing lanes, he couldn't guard. He wasn't guarding you. Come on. You probably torched him in practice. So. So we were talking. You're talking about guys who are great on both ends of the floor. And this is what I love about Tatum. Tatum is. Tatum has been a hell of a defender, and he's also been a great rebound. What he didn't do in these last couple of games, he didn't shoot the ball well. And normally Jaylen Brown is able to pick him up or Porzingis, but whatever this is that's going on with Porzingis hasn't really, really let it happen. The Knicks haven't Played great, though. I think, you know, everybody keeps focusing on Boston, hasn't played their game. The Knicks haven't played great. I mean, to be down by 20 points in two consecutive games. I think they just, they. They have patience and they're kind of like the puncher who's going to take three punches and give you one in return. That. That might be true. And I think the thing is, Josh Hart has played extremely well. He's been the key to what he had 23 points. You're going to say you're going to get something from Carl Anthony Towns. You're going to have to give up something from Brunson. But when you have him scoring away and then Bridges, who really has disappeared, all the Knicks were complaining about, oh, we gave these draft choices. He showed up last night and scored the basketball. So in different ways, the Knicks have played very effective basketball in the second half, but also in the second half of these games, the Celtics have collapsed. All right, what has to happen on Saturday night? Right out of the gate. Right out of the gate. Be aggressive shooting threes. Are we shooting threes? You're still going to shoot threes. You're still going to shoot. You're still going to shoot at threes, but you're going to be a little bit more aggressive about taking the ball to the paint. One thing the Celtics did extremely well was when you saw Drew Holiday take Brunson in the paint and score on him repeatedly. Yeah, that's one of the keys that you have to do to occupy a great score. What you have to do is attack him on his deep as a being. You, I think, made one three pointer in your career. Yes, I did. You remember that one? I do. It was in Houston and. And in that game, only four or three pointers were taken in that particular game. So. So, as you like to say, what's your point there? What's your point? I love you. But if Bird played now, how many three pointers is he allowed to take? 14, 15. And I talked to a guy who was like that, Antoine Walker. Every time he lined up to take a three wins with the Celtics early in his career, people start booing him. I talked to him about a couple of weeks ago. He said, man, they would. They would have cheered me for what I'm doing right now, taking three. So the game has changed. Steph Curry did one thing. He changed the game in the way almost no other player has done, making the three pointer. I talked to his dad, and I asked his dad, I said, your son's Destroyed the game the way I loved it. He said, yeah, there are a lot of three point takers, but there are not a lot of three point makers. Yeah, there are guys who shoot threes, there are guys who make threes. There's a big difference in that. Everybody thinks they can make a three. Dan, when you go to any local gym or you go outside, the first thing a guy does, he couldn't, he couldn't hit it inside. First thing he does is line up and try to take a three. So people have been programmed now that the game has changed. It is during the time I played. When they played the Rockets in 1981 in the championship series, there were like, in this championship game, I think there were five threes attempted for the entire game. Now five threes are attempted in the first two minutes. Have fun in New York. Be prepared. They're waiting for you. I cannot wait, Dan. I thought I hated the Laker fans, but man, they've gone down the pig right now, Nick Suck. That's all I'm saying. Why don't you wear your old Celtics jersey to the game, Dan? Because I'm old school. Damn. What do I need? Well, you want to beat up a 70 year old man? I heard you. See you were born in 19, what, 56. Yeah, I was born in 1955. Come on, give me a break. Good to talk to you. All right, buddy. Thank you, Cornbread. That's Cedric Cornbread Maxwell. He was the Finals MVP 1981. The Celtics radio analyst. Those Nick fans are going to be crazy. They haven't had anything to celebrate. They do now. And it's against Boston. Yes, Marvin. So I did play of the day and it was the Maple Leaves. Are the Maple Leafs the NHL equivalent of the New York Knicks. Wow. Like, great franchise. But they haven't won anything in 50 plus years. Is it longer than that for the Leafs? Because the knicks won in 73 even and they went to the NBA Finals against San Antonio. Yes. Bully. And like the past 20 years, the Maple Leafs, they're stuck in round one. Yeah, they're. They're jonesing for a deep playoff rock. I got the Leafs winning it all this year. I gave you Florida last year. I'm feeling the Leafs this year. And they're not the Leaves, they're the Leafs. And I like that too. And I love, I love their, their sweater, their jerseys. Yes. Martin last label. We Maple Leaf standing. Stanley Cup, 1967. Yeah, so they're a little bit before the Knicks, but I get, I get where you're coming from there. I do. Let me see. How about I take a break here? Yes. Paul, if you asked a Nick fan, you could win this NBA title, but you'll go, oh, for the next 40, would you sign up like the Leafs? Well, like the Rangers when the Rangers hadn't won. And then they end up winning in 1994. Like, how many years had it been since they had won a Stanley Cup? They may not win another one for a while. God, would you sign up for a 40 year drought? Well, this generation will probably go, yeah, sure, yeah, we'll take this title. These, these millennials, they're like, yeah, yeah, this is great, man. We have, we're long suffering Nick fans. We've been suffering for like 10 years. You know, the guys who are, you know, the old grizzled guys who go to the game, they take, they'll, they'll take one in their lifetime. All right, we'll take a break. We're back after this. In the Dan Patrick Show, Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in 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, no. Grotesque. Oh my God. Oh, my God.

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 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.

Sue Bird won four WNBA championships. She was an All Star 13 times. One of the more decor basketball players in history, and also five time Olympic gold medalist. Just named USA Basketball Women's National Team Managing Director. That's a hell of a title there is that on your business card. And what exactly does that mean, Sue? Need like a business index card at this point or whatever? Managing director. It's basically what Grant Hill did for the men's team. So like a gm, pick the coach, pick the players, and then win some gold medals. How do you deal with players lobbying you now or being your friend or sending you gifts or cards or flowers, if only ever. That easy? No. I mean, obviously I've been in the women's game for so long, so of course I have friends and relationships. People I played with, against are going to be in this pool. But that's just where my experience, my perspective, my understanding of what makes teams great and how to build that and how people have to compliment each other. That's where that just comes into play. And that's what's going to be guiding me. It's not going to be flowers or gifts. Would you put Caitlin Clark on the Olympic team right now? No. No. Last this past Olympic, I knew you were going to ask this question. Honestly, I have to just say that I respected the committee's job. I understood what was at play. I understood the pros and the cons. I guess if you want to lay it out that way. And I think at the end of the day, it's hard to criticize a gold medal. A lot of people see the final game against France, they see only winning by a couple points, and they view that as some sort of indicator. But the reality is we've been having post games at the Olympics for years. I can. I can attest to that. So that wasn't really that new, winning a close game like that? That wasn't new. That didn't have anything to do with the roster? Yeah, I think it was best for both. And I said that at the time. I didn't. I thought she had played a lot of basketball. I think she was tired, she needed a break. I didn't think she earned it. And there were other players who probably were in front of her who didn't make it as well. I'm going to guess she'll probably be on the next Olympic team. Just guessing. I mean, you know, TBD got three years. How's your jumper? It's. I still got it. Now, the moving, like side to side, that's a little tougher, but the jumper's still there. Do you ever show up at a park and just start shooting? No, I have a friend who coaches at a nearby college. I'll just grab the keys from her, but sometimes I walk by Parks and I, you know, I assess. What do you think about your Knicks stealing two games in Boston? Oh, gosh, I couldn't be happier. I mean, I think the Detroit series just set them up for this. They like it gave them something, a mental toughness that I don't. You're not really seeing in a lot of other teams right now. Would you give up one of your gold medals if it meant the Knicks were going to play in the NBA Finals? No guarantee they would win. Would you give up a gold medal? Absolutely not. And I love the Knicks. You got five of them. Come on. If it meant the next. No, no. And I feel bad saying that. I've been waiting for this type of run. We all have for a really long time. Yeah. I remember my eighth grade graduation. I was like, if there were smartphones, then I would have been at my eighth grade graduation watching finals games. You ever worn a gold medal socially? No. Okay. Imagine they'd be like clanging around. It'd be too loud. I would do it if I. I wouldn't wear out. I mean, imagine Michael Phelps, he went out and had. What's he got, like 20. It hurt his back if he had all 28 medals. Yeah. A couple of things. Now you have a new podcast, Bird's Eye view, that launches May 16th. And also you do a touch more the podcast every Thursday with with Megan Rapinoe. Where is the game going? If you look at another country that's developing talent on the women's side, because we look at France, Africa, for the men's side, Australia has put out some good players, but if you were looking handicapping five years down the road, the country to keep an eye on is who I think right now, it's France. It's always been Australia. So that just, it feels like that's just like, yes, there's some highs and lows and plateaus, but they just. They just keep it coming. And then, yeah, the African nations, Nigeria, has done a tremendous job in the last couple of Olympics. Some of that is that there's actually Americans that play on those teams, play on the Nigerian team, play on the French team. Some of it's that those players are now coming to the WNBA more. As that money increases, I expect that to increase, like tenfold. And that's going to really change things up, I guess. Compare and contrast the coverage when you were a rookie in the WNBA to what that coverage is like now. You know, interestingly, when I first got to the wnba, it was still. It had a little bit of that high still. Like there was a residual high from when the league first started, the excitement. And it really didn't start to kind of plateau and dip until a year or two later. So my rookie year With. With a couple of exceptions, there was excitement. There was. There was coverage. There was. You know, I would. I'd get invited to. Invited to different shows or, you know, maybe something like the ESPYs in a different way. And then it started to take a little bit of a dip, and then it started to plateau. But, no, it was never. My rookie year, was never anything like what we're seeing now. What would be your UConn women's Mount Rushmore? It's pretty easy, actually. Diana, Brianna Stewart, Maya Moore. And we'll go. Rebecca Lobo. You could say you. If you wanted to. I know, but. Yeah, well, Lobo started it, right? Yep. Yeah. So. So one. If anyone gets a statue at Rebecca. Oh, a statue. Yep. Okay. Does Gino get a statue at UConn? Rebecca gets one first. Really? Yeah. You know, there's only one statue on campus. It's of Jonathan the husky dog, so. Okay. It's only right. Rebecca first. Does Hurley get a statue or Gino. Okay, I'll give it to him. Okay. What's your favorite Oriana story, though, that you tell? Oh. Oh, my God. What kind of program is this? You can tell me. He used to say to me, he goes, I have to talk to my wife. You know, they. It's that time of the month, and I'm dealing with these women, and I'm just, like, he was saying, dealing with you guys at practice sometimes. And I go, okay, I never thought of that, you know, But. But, yeah, well, you know what they say. Like, when. When women are around each other a lot, they start to, like, sync up in that way. He was in on that. He was in on that. We caught a lot of that attitude also. When did you get to the point where you can make fun of him? Yeah, when. Yeah, you know, you can do it. He likes it when you're a player. Like, he. He wants you to react and respond. So he's okay with a little. He's okay with it. I think my favorite story is. And I actually just turned. Told this one recently. I got his permission, so we're good. Okay. We're playing Tennessee, obviously. Huge rivalry. We don't play well in the first half. We look scared, nervous, all the things. He comes in at halftime, and he holds up his fingers like an okay sign, but super tight, you know, just curls that finger super tight. And he says, do you know what this is? This is all your butthole right now. And, you know, that kind of explains it. The message came across loud and clear. Congrats on the new title Congrats on the podcast and it's great to see you. Thank you again. Me too. Thanks. Yeah, thanks for having me. That's Sue Bird. Okay. But she got permission from Gino Horiyama. Oh, I knew where we were going. I remember we had him on one day and I said, you know, he, he started telling me about dealing with, you know, his, his players. He goes, you know, I talked to my wife, like certain times of the month, I'm dealing with them. And I am like, why is this guy, this one, this one's crying, this one's, you know, in a good mood. But he brought it up. What a career she's had. Gosh, be hard pressed. I mean, that's five Olympic gold medals, four time WNBA champ, two time national champ at Connecticut. That's quite a resume there. Now the USA Basketball Women's national team managing director and her new podcast, Bird's Eye view launches Friday, May 16. And she co hosts a touch more the podcast every Thursday with Megan Rapinoe. A couple of phone calls in here. That's fun. That's fun. Cedric Maxwell was entertaining. If you miss any of the pod or any of the interviews, you can go to danpatrick.com and you can listen on the podcast Tailgate Moonshine. We have some new moonshine for you, but also something really special that we've been working on for, well, 10 years to bring it back to life. You can go to danpatrick.com satan which update the poll results and we'll get to more phone calls here. Yeah, we got up there right now. If you were betting Knicks in seven or Celtics and six right now, that has swung to Nixon seven by 52%. This one keeps going back and forth. It's fun. I like it. I like this a lot. York, New York. Go Tim in Jersey. Hi, Tim. Aiden 5, 6, 3, 0. Oh, by the way, Marvin, love that so much. I'm calling today. Do you think the, the Knicks are just, I mean, like the Celtics are just being out coached, knowing that Tibbs was a former part of that team and you know, and also with the substitutions and the fouls with Robinson and also, do we know what's going on with Christopher Porzingis too? No, he's been banged up. Like, I'm surprised when he's healthy. He just has that career where he shows signs, but he's never consistent enough. And I don't know if it's being out coached. I mean, Tibbs has a style. It's a style that can frustrate you. Be physical with you. The Celtics are a finesse team and the Knicks are not. And the Knicks went out and got players that fit the blueprint in Tibbs mind to beat Boston and they're doing that. Let's see if it's sustainable here. But getting out coached, I think with Boston, you, you tell them, keep shooting. That's like, I'm not going to change up. Whatever my game plan is going to be. I have to trust these guys. And these guys are great shooters. Brown, Tatum, Derrick White, I mean, now, now you got this. The series comes down to Saturday night. Because if the Knicks win Saturday, I don't think that they're going to lose four in a row here. But doubt starts to creep in. And that's the tricky part of all of this. When the doubt starts to creep in, when you take a shot and we've all been on these runs, where you go, it doesn't matter. It's going in to. And then you really. And then you miss or one goes in and out, that's when doubt creeps in. And the Knicks are going to go back with a ton of confidence. It's not like they've shot great, but they've maintained their identity. And the Celtics are trying to maintain an identity and they can't because they can't make threes. Yeah, Paulie. Christoph Sporzingis, he had a viral illness back in March and February, missed about two weeks. And this they say is related to that. Not a lot of details out, but the Boston Herald said he just can't get it going. It's his insides are having issues, he said. Rick in Florida. Hi, Rick. What's on your mind today? Hey, bro. I remember watching Nick's at Cincinnati Gardens, buddy. The best. The best. So anyway, I got a couple of points. First, when I see a team after an eight month grind, ice cold, even making layups, ice cold in the second halves of tough playoff games, it's your legs, it looks like to me. The Celtics legs are gone. And number two, Danny, the end of the games when they're finally in the half court trying to get a nice so and into the basket. That high pick and roll the Knicks got on, you know, being Robinson waiting for them, they can't get in the lane when it comes time to get that good easy shot at the end of the game. So in that regard, I do think Thibodeau's out. Coach him. Well, I don't think it's the legs because the Knicks have probably had to work harder to get to where they are than the Celtics have had. And the Celtics were blowing people out during the year. Probably got a lot of rest. You know, the Knicks just grind it out. And, you know, Tibbs famously plays his, you know, starters a lot more minutes than anybody else. They should be the ones tired. Guy in Denver. Hi, Guy. What's on your mind today? Hello, Daniel Patrick Jr. III. Thank you for having me on today. Yeah. Quick question for you. So I'm taking my two sons. They're on a. One's graduating high school, one's graduating college. Both play high school and college baseball. The next one's going off to play college baseball. So we're taking them to PNC Park, Fenway, and Citi Field. We're huge Mets fans. Never been out there. Quick. Where spots must we go to for our days in Boston? In New York, eating wise, I can't give you Boston because I don't. I don't spend much time in Boston. I did before in the 80s and 90s, but I don't now. New York. You guys got a. I would say Keen's Steakhouse. K E E E. K E E N S. Keen Steakhouse. That's in midtown. That's great. If you get a chance and you want to take the Staten island ferry later in the afternoon and you want to see, you know, a different view of New York City. Cost you a couple of bucks. You go over to Staten island, stay on the ferry, and then come back and you get a great view of downtown New York City. Going down to Wall Street. Just walk around there always. Great. Yes. Eden, what was that place that you took us to once? It was probably the best cheeseburger I've ever had in my life. And it was down by Battery park, that Staten island ferryway. So, like, two rabbits or something like that, or. Dead rabbit. Yes, yes, yes. Is that it? Dead rabbit? Maybe it's something like that. It's. It's the. It's probably the best cheeseburger I've ever had in my entire life. It's fantastic. Yeah. Paulie, The Dead Rabbit on Water Street. Okay. That's got a lot of ambiance there. That place is awesome. Yeah. Yeah. But that's a Wall street bar, pub, McSorley's Pub. That's, I believe, the oldest bar in the country where they. They serve you pitcher or glasses, mugs of beer, and you get crackers, cheese, and onions. It's a beer hall. Yeah. They used to have just a bathroom, one bathroom, and I think they've added one for the women. My My wife used to go there when she was in college. She'd sit there and have a beer and study and she, she said, you know, there was only one bathroom and it was really meant for the guys in there. But I, I think they've, they've evolved a little bit there at McSorley's Pub. Yes, Paulie, There is a place called Lombardi's Pizza. I used to live on the fourth floor for a couple years back in the day. And it's one of the oldest pizza places in New York. It's in no lead in Little Italy area, but a cool old school New York experience. Yeah, there's a lot of Central Park. Wonderful. Just walking into Central Park. Go to the carousel if you want to go to the boathouse. Wonderful as well. There's so many different things. West side highway, done a beautiful job over there. If you go down to the Freedom Tower. Yes, Marvin. Yeah. All the piers over there. Right over. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They did a great job over there. Got dog parks there, basketball hoop, they got tennis and it's just a great place. You want to sit, sit on the park bench there. But go down to the Freedom Towers. That's really wonderful. Very powerful there. So good luck with that guy and congrats on your, your sons. Tim in Detroit. Hi, Tim. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan, how you doing? Great, Tim. Yeah. 57 and 190. I'm a four time shut in member. Calling in and I'm reporting from the field. Yesterday I had a full hip replacement. Okay. And as you're collecting data on surgery versus procedure, I wanted to tell, I wanted to tell you guys what they referred to it as. Okay. So I got my call and they said the surgery, the procedure was going to be at 4:45am okay. So I thought you might find that interesting. A procedure for hip replacement surgery. It's called hip replacement surgery. I know, but they referred you to the procedure. Well, I'm going to have to throw the BS flag there. And Tim, good luck with that. They've, they've got hip replacement surgery down. They do. My shoulder surgery still hasn't been great from the first time. I had torn labrum. Knee replacement, pretty good. But I haven't had to do the hip. But those who have had it tell me they've done a pretty good job. You can't have hip replacement surgery and call it a procedure. Yes, Paulie. And, and if this, if the surgeon does it, is it a surgery by default? Do they have a. Somebody who's known as A procedurist. Yeah. Instead of a surgeon. Like the really low end doctors of procedure guys. Yeah, we're not gonna have a surgeon do this. We're gonna have a guy who does procedures, a tech. I think if a. He doesn't even scrub up, you know, he doesn't. Like a paralegal. I think surgeons do surgery. Yes, I. Hip replacement surgery can't be a procedure. Yes, Paulie, I think a surgeon would take it as an insult, saying, oh, I did a couple procedures today. All I know is when I have surgery, somebody cuts on me, it's surgery. So if it's hand surgery, eye surgery, my shoulder, my other shoulder, my knee, my knee again, my knee again, my knee again. Replacement knee. That's surgery. Yes. So I put into the interwebs, do surgeons do procedures? And I got back, yes, surgeons perform surgical procedures. Hybrid. A surgical procedure. Oh, man. That means all procedures are surgery. Okay, okay. All right. Surgical procedure. Okay. I would prefer just surgery. Sounds more impressive. Like, if I come home and I go, ah, gotta have a procedure, my wife will be like, what now? If I say I gotta have surgery, on what? Get my knee cleaned up? Yeah. A procedure. Yes. Todd, if you're having a procedure, you still gotta throw out the garbage and do the chores and everything. If you got surgery coming up, lay down, I'll bring you something. You watch tv, whatever you want to do. Yeah. Paulie, if you're a doctor, if you're a surgeon, you're talking to women. You don't say, I was in procedure all day. I was in surgery all day. That's the move. You're right. All right, let me take a break. When we come back, we are going to play in or out. You're either in on something or you're out. And more of your phone calls as well. Back after this.

On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in 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.

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 a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving fast than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carvell.

You're either in or you're out. Paulie has the topic. So, Paulie, here we go. Dan, starting with you, the Knicks will take out the Celtics. I'm in. Marvin. I'm in. Fritzi, I'm in, too. Seat. Out. The warriors will win this series completely without Steph Curry. Wait, he doesn't play again. Yes. Out. Well, will they win it? No. You just said I don't have Steph Curry. Yeah, Marvin. Yeah, I'm out. Out. In. I mean. I mean, you think Golden State wins without Steph Curry playing again? Yeah. Okay. Pie to the face. Ball of the balls. All the balls. The Utah Mammoth is a very cool team name. Slash mascot. I'm in. You raise your voice. I'd like to see everything. You know, what's it going to look, like the colors and everything. I haven't. I haven't seen it. I just heard the name Marvin, I saw the colors, and I'm in. All right. Seaton in, Conn. Out. Okay, this is one. Being a hockey goalie is tougher than being a baseball catcher. A little thought provoking. I'm in with that. Marvin in Seaton. I am out. Okay, I'm in. I think I'm out. I think baseball. It's splitting hairs. I think. I think it's baseball. I think you have to do a lot more in baseball as a catcher than you do in hockey as a keeper. That's true. Now, catchers are not on ice and don't wear skates. Yeah. Yes. And they're actually shooting something, trying to hit, take your head off. Whereas in baseball, your job is to catch it. It's not aimed to take your head off. In hockey, the guy shooting is trying to take your head off. And catchers get to hit. They don't just sit there the entire game. What if one shift a game? Every goaltender in hockey had to. Had to play. Had to play a shit. Kind of cool. Okay. If I won the Powerball lottery, I would take the lump sum payment over the yearly payments that are stretched over 20 years. I'm in. Lump sum. Yeah. Got it. Got to take the lump sum. Yes. Is there math behind it? Is there finances behind it? Well, there's also the longevity of my life. I got. I can't pencil in 20 years. Right. Even if you take the, like, the. The money that you would make in interest now would be greater than the amount of money you would be paid later in the future. Yeah. Now, my age is a big part of it, though, too. You're right. But my family might say, hey, why don't you take one for the team? And I. Right. I'd say I've. I've taken one for the team for the last 38 years. You should tell them you already won the lottery. Yes. You are lucky. Okay, last one. Aaron Rodgers has not signed yet with the Steelers, mostly because he does not want to go to OTAs. I'm in, by the way. I stopped trying to understand Aaron Rodgers, but for the sake of the game, I'm. I mean that he doesn't want to. Don't want to go. He's got other things to do. Yes, Todd, I'm out. I don't think that's the main reason. I think he's weighing his options to the last possible minute before he commits to Pittsburgh. Seaton, what about you? I could convince myself to be in on that. All right. Yeah, man. Because if he's not under contract and the Steelers have OTAs, there'll be less criticism of him not being there. Well, no, there's going to be criticism if he does show up after OTAs, because then you're going to have the writers, analysts are going to say, you're going to a new team. You should have gotten here earlier. Remember when he went on his safari after being hurt the previous season and then he got in there late? You got to get there. You got to be part. You got to be part of the team. Yes. Yes, Paul. I saw some polls, and we've had some people on that. Pittsburgh Steeler fans really don't care for Aaron Rodgers or want him as their quarterback. That's gonna be very interesting how their tone will be if they sign him. Well, okay. The question I was asked, I would ask is, do you want Mason Rudolph or do you want Aaron Rodgers? Because that's. That's all that matters. You may not like him. Now, if you said, I could get Kirk Cousins, I might want Kirk Cousins because I can get him for a few years and he's four years younger. Maybe he'll be less money, but I just not sure with Darren Rodgers, Kurt Cousins would come in and he'd be like, hey, I'm ready to go right now. I'll be at every meeting, whatever you want. I'll be at fundraisers. I'll be wherever you want me to be. I'll be any other. In or out. We are out. That's out. We're out of, in, around. I'm in on that. Okay. Wow. TJ in Iowa. Hi, tj. That was funny. Hey, tj Good morning. Good morning, Dan. First time, long time. Six, five and a half, two hundred and twenty pounds. Was enjoying the show as I do almost every day, but had a late start with it today for the very best reason. Fritzi probably relates to that, but was hearing about somebody's birthday today or their birthday song. And so my wife, after a fantastic morning, is in the other room fixing her hair and listening to the show, and she looks up her birthday song. She's born in mid-60s, and she comes back out and said, wow, it was the Trogs in Wild Thing. We laughed a little bit. That seemed appropriate. And look mine up. Yeah, she. She looks up my. I was. I was born about the same time as you did. I'm late. Late 50s. So I'm thinking, well, maybe an Elvis song or something. But unfortunately, they had me at Christmas time. And so she came out and started laughing. I said, what is it? Is it? She just said, it's the chipmunk song. Okay. Alvin and the Chipmunks. Sounds like TJ was doing the wild thing this morning. I think. I think that's what he was alluding to. Oh, yeah, yeah. He said he had a good morning. Yeah, yeah, he did. And then his wife was fixing her hair and. And her birthday song was Wild Thing, which seemed only appropriate. That's what happens when body starts to laugh. All right, thank you, Todd. Two hours in the books on this Thursday. More phone calls coming up. Actor Vince Vaughn back on the show. He'll join us. Fritzi Seaton, Marv Paulie, and yours truly.
