As always brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. And we say good morning to all of our great radio affiliates around the country. Florida survives Texas Tech, Duke rolls Alabama, Houston, big winner over Tennessee and Auburn over Michigan State. So the odds this morning, according to DraftKings, Duke is favored by four and a half against Houston and Florida favored by two and a half against Auburn. You know when you're watching a game, just like when I was watching John Calipari in Arkansas blow a double digit lead, like you're watching it in real time and you can kind of see and sense and watch the momentum shifting and you got to see that with the Florida game against Texas Tech. Texas Tech was playing great, took it inside, they were dominating, double digit lead. And then all of a sudden there's a play and then there's a play and then there's a play and then all of a sudden they've hit three three pointers in a row and then you start to watch. And as I've said many, many times on this program, way too many times, if a game is on the line, I don't want to let that star player take the shot, whatever it is. I will not let Walter Clayton Jr. III take those shots. It might be the second best or third best player. I will not let that guy beat me. He had 30 points, second 30 point game in the tournament. He had 33 last year in the round of 64 when he was at Iona. But he's a great shooter, He's a streaky shooter. He is a fearless shooter. Never let the best player beat you. Never, never understood that, that you let that guy have the ball, go double him, maybe you do a box in one. I cannot let him take those shots because he is as good as anybody, if not better than anybody in the tournament at taking those shots under pressure. Texas Tech had this. They did. Florida didn't seem to have answers until they did. And then Texas Tech didn't have answers. But these moments like Texas Tech is going to the final Four and then all of a sudden the camera work was great because then they would focus in and you got to see it was draining the league, the lead was draining and you know, the color in your face was draining. It went From Texas Tech red to white, and you're like, oh, my gosh, we're going to blow this. Houston's going to play great defense. They're not exciting. They play great defense. Got some players who've been there for a while with Kelvin Sampson. He's a great coach. Auburn over Michigan, Michigan State. And that was fun to watch. Yeah, Bruce Pearl's done a wonderful job. And then Duke over Alabama. It's one of those where you go, duke's probably going to pressure the perimeter so they don't get to shoot these threes. Yeah, they've done a really good job here. And Alabama. Now, Alabama did have some looks and had some shots, but Duke is a really good defensive team. Like, you want to talk about offense and defense, they're like the Philadelphia Eagles. You know, they're. They're a great offensive team. Three lottery picks. Cooper flag. Unselfish. And defensively, they get after it as well. Every Duke team has prided themselves in their defense. Seaton, what's the poll question for hour two? By the way, you have women's games coming up tonight. Yukon, usc, that's your headliner. And TCU and Texas. What do you have? Seaton? We got a few of them working right now up on the website. We've got favorite to win the tournament. Obviously, your choices are Duke, Florida, Houston, Auburn. Right now, Duke and Florida running away with that one. We also put up there, the final four is the best four teams or disappointing. Right now, the best four teams has 78% of them. Oh, okay. I'm a little surprised. It felt like people weren't talking as much about March Madness, that the best teams were going to be playing for the championship, that you wanted to have that team, you wanted to have that player. Where you go, have you seen. And then there's nobody saying unless you watch Cooper flag and you go, yeah, you know what? He's really good. Or Walter Clayton Jr. III. Yeah. And he can shoot, but I don't know if anybody's talking about man, Ed Houston can play defense because that's not exciting. We want that story. We've always had that story. There's always that long shot. We like Cinderella's. We like the you almost. Or you could have a chance to play for the national championship. Yeah, see, we also put up there. The NFL wants to change the tush push. Although this says rush push should be tush push because of player safety. It's not a football play or jealousy. I think you have to factor in that it's predictable. And the Eagles have mastered it. Well, jealousy right now is 60% of that vote. Player safety, just a mere 8%. Yeah. There's no data that will support player. Players safety. It just isn't. It looks like it's going to be. You know, the guy who gets hurt the most from what I'm told is the center. And nobody cares about centers. No, no, buddy. All right, we'll get to some phone calls here. Todd McShay, NFL draft analyst, talking about what the Titans are going to do or not do and what the Giants are going or to do or not do. Have that for you coming up here in a little bit. Jeremy in New York leads us off hour two on this Monday. Good morning, Jeremy. What's on your mind today? Hey, good morning, Dan and crew. Happy Monday. 64190ish. I'd say best of the weekend, probably the Pistons tripling their win total from last year. I think that's the first time it's been done in a full NBA season. Worst of the weekend, I would have liked to see a lower seed in the Final Four, but like you said, Dan, those teams deserve to be there. So you can't be too upset. Yeah, I was curious, Dan, would you ever consider before you sign off in a few years having some kind of contest where listeners can come in and like a winner of a contest, maybe have a tour of the man cave or sit in on a recording? We. We've had people in, but very, very rare. And some people show up. We don't encourage that. That doesn't mean you get to come in. But it might be something that I would consider maybe if we did a contest and allowed somebody to come in and watch the show. It's not very exciting to watch how we do the show. Just say it's gotta be ultimately supremely disappointing. That's supposed to be my question. Impressive or disappointing? Yeah. I don't want you to kind of come in behind the scenes and go, man, this isn't scripted. That's all you guys do. Okay. But, hey, maybe we should put on a show for the people that come in here and, you know, really act like we're, like, diving into. Make it look more like a NASA launch than what it really is. Well, I know one guy who would step up his game considerably if there were people in Todd Fritz. I get on a unicycle and try to juggle like, flaming bowling pins or something. I wouldn't be very good, but it's something. All right. Yeah, well, I'll consider that. I'll Consider that. Got a little bit of time. Let me see Turzo and Desmonet. Hey, Turzo. What's up, Dan? Hey, thanks for calling me back. Yep. Couple things. Couple things for you, Dan. It really excited for you guys to be coming here to Iowa in June. That's going to be a blast. 11 thought that I had. Are you going to be able to bring Shea from Irving with you? Will his roommate sign off on that? Because I think he'd fit in great here in Iowa. I don't think so. Look, he went to Vegas. I just said, look, I'm not going to be. I'm not in control of you. I don't want to know what you guys are doing. He's. He took some of the backroom guys out, and, you know, they showed up every morning. That's all I asked Dylan and Picture Day Ray just show up every morning, and they did. I don't know if they were all there when they showed up. They were gambling, maybe hungover, but Shea was there in Vegas. But I. I don't want to do that to the peop. Great people of Iowa. What else do you have for me, Turzo? Well, Dan, I agreed with you last week. Whenever you stated that Cooper Flag kind of reminded you of Kevin Durant, especially after you said it last. I really was really kind of paying attention to it, watching the two games over the weekend. I think that was a great comparison. But I also understood what you said about Kevin Love, that it's not. It's not a bad thing to compare to Kevin Love. If I had the opportunity, I would love to have his career. I thought he was a great player when he played. Yeah. My point was, don't make it Cooper Flag. Is he the next Larry Bird? And I said, if he could be like Kevin Love, accomplish what Kevin Love did, people would still probably view that as a disappointment. And it shouldn't be, because Kevin Love has a borderline hall of Fame career. I just. We tend to do this now, all of a sudden, Cooper Flag will be a disappointment to people because, well, he wasn't Larry Bird. He's not. There isn't another Larry Bird. There's not another Magic. There's not another Michael, not another Kareem. That's the beauty of sport. These individuals. There's not another Luca. That's where I. We got to be careful with the. The. He could be. He could. But that's why I said, let's lower our expectations. And then people thought I was taking a shot at Kevin Love and I talked about this in the first hour that I did reach out Miami Heat and he wisely said no need. He understood I wasn't taking a shot at him and I wasn't. I just want people to realize Cooper Flag is a really good player. I don't know if he's going to be great. He might play for a bad team, bad teammates, maybe he doesn't make the playoffs anytime soon. He's a bust. That this happens. I've seen it happen. That's why I just want to put it out there. Hey, let him just play. Let's see. You know what? It looks like he might be spectacular. He's unselfish now. He might get 25 points a game. What if he doesn't? What if he's 18 and 9 and 5 assists? Are you, are you okay with that? Because I'm gonna guess most people won't be. That's why I brought up Kevin Love. Those are great numbers. I think a five time all star won a title. Really, really good numbers and. But that's not going to be good enough. Yes. Paulie. I went back and looked at the last 10 number one overall draft picks and a lot of them took a while to get going. Cade Cunningham, he's great now. Took a while. Zion, it's working well now. But the first two years was like up and down. Deandre Ayton, he's got a decent career. It's not number one overall pick. It's a nice career. Yeah. If he was a 12th pick. Yeah. Markelle Fultz, bouncing around the league. Ben Simmons. But then you have a Carl Anthony Towns. Very invented the game back in 2015. He did 2014. Andrew Wiggins out of Kansas. It's fair to say he's had a very nice career. Yeah, yeah. But number one overall draft pick has a different scope. Nobody was looking at Andrew Wiggins and going see the next Michael Jordan. Right. I mean Carl Anthony Towns. What were they saying? Is he the next who Cooper Flag has? Oh, see the next Larry bird. I mean that's 0 to 120. And that's why I said let's be fair to. We won't be. We won't be in this era of hot takes, no journalism just throw stuff out there. We won't be. I will be, but most people won't because that's not any fun. Yes, Mark. And there's one thing that we lack as a society now, patience. God forbid he doesn't come out of the gate like LeBron and you know, night one in Sacramento. Scores 25. Oh, did we speak too soon about Cooper Flag? Yeah, I get to see it. Mothership will have Cooper Flag. Overrated. Question mark. Let's discuss on get up Flag at half staff. Oh, okay. Should have stayed at Duke. Not ready for the NBA at 19. Question mark. David in Ohio. Hi, David. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan. Happy Monday. Best of the weekend. Just found out that Mrs. David in Ohio is expecting. So I had a question for you. I need some advice for. Yeah, thank you. Some advice for just being the husband and being in the pregnancy and just some advice from me, if you don't mind. Thank you. When is Mrs. David due? He doing October, close to Halloween, so it's kind of scary. So try to think ahead. You know, we talk about. Wayne Gretzky was always thinking a play ahead. Certain guys think of play. You got to think a minute ahead, an hour ahead, a day ahead, a week ahead, a month ahead. With your wife, you always have to be thinking, what can I do for her? And don't take it for granted when she says, oh, I don't want anything. Little gifts, little. Just little things. You get food. You want to bring it in, maybe breakfast in bed. She's going to go through an awful lot. And something that we wouldn't. The population would be half the size if we were giving birth. It just would. Could you imagine Fritzi delivering his own baby? Going to pass on that. Yes. Yeah. Can you get, like, multiple epidurals? You can only have one. How does that work? Yes. You can't be more. Any more attentive like you. You have, I should say, be more attentive. And even when you think you're being attentive, be even more, because there's going to be some mood swings, and it's going to be directed at you. Just saying. I mean, I got caught with some strays in the delivery room, and I'm like, hold. And you just have to take it. It's like, okay. Yes, I agree. I am a jerk. Yeah. You know, and you're like, okay, whatever you say. But, yeah, you got a long pro. Enjoy the process. How about that? Enjoy it. Yeah. All right. All right. Thank you, David. That's David in Ohio. Yes, Todd. And trust the process. Thank you, Todd. All right. Seth Greenberg of the mothership will join us. Coming up, we'll have more on the Yankee bats. Are they cheating? They all fired up here? Can we find out if the Yankees use these bats in spring training? And did anybody say anything? If that's the case, did they have them under wraps? Did they bring them? You know, when the gangsters will bring a gun into, like a musical instrument case, you're bringing in a machine gun? No, that's a violin. Just feels kind of weird that they somehow launched this pun intended on the Brewers. All right, we'll take a break. Back after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

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.

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.

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?

Are the Tennessee Titans locked in with who they're taking at number one? We'll hear from a draft analyst who says, maybe not Seth Greenberg of the mothership. What a busy guy. He was the two time ACC coach of the year at Virginia Tech. Where are those awards? In my office, behind. Behind my desk somewhere. Okay. Do you proudly display those and like, hey, come on into my office. Look what I got. Like, if I go into Coach K's office, you know, I get to see national championship trophies. Well, I mean, I'm not Coach K, but I do have two ACC coaching here. And what I do is a FaceTime from my office. I show them prominently along with the wins Against Duke, in Carolina. What was your record against Duke? I was three and six. And what were you against Dean Smith? I didn't know. I didn't coach against Dean. I'm not that old. I coached against Roy. I think I had three wins against Roy. One of them was actually when they were number one in the country at Kansas. It was weird. My teams, we had four wins against number ones and they were all on the road, which is kind of bizarre. Explain to me the role that coaching plays now as opposed to maybe earlier in the tournament or during the regular season. You know, everyone's going to say, does experience have a factor come to the Final Four? People have been through it, understand it had an experience of dealing with all the requests of media and kind of finding a balancing point for the preparation. I think coaching has an impact every time of the year. What are you going to give? What are you going to take away? You know, you're not going to reinvent yourself in the NCAA Tournament. How you get your guys to understand the. What's the essence of what you have to do to win? And then making sure you're managing the hardest thing in Final Four as an assistant coach at 84 with coach Holland is managing all the obligations and keeping the guys focused. It's great. It's unique. You got, you know, police escorts, you know, you're practicing in front of 25, 000 people. You've got 8, 000 people that want tickets. Managing all that. So you can stay focused on what's most important again. And the very best figure out, all right, how do we get laser focused on the things that are most important? And now it's even harder with social media, with agents, with workout gurus, with all the other obligations that players are asked. And then also, like, some of these guys might end up transferred at the end of the Final Four. I was talking to John Shire last hour about that, that the blueprint, it feels like, has changed where you have. The blue bloods are taking away the mid majors, good players to prevent the, you know, the mid majors from making these Cinderella runs. They're already. It's kind of circumventing the system there a little bit. Instead of waiting for this, they come in and grab those players. And we're seeing less freshmen impact the tournament other than Duke. And it feels like now it's, you know, maybe sophomores, juniors and seniors. Is this. Is this what we should be expecting in years to come? 100%. This is the future. 100%. Look how old the Duke look How old the Auburn team is. You'll be a starting lineup. There's a 25 year old, a 23 year old, a 24 year old. You can go one freshman, Robert Todd Pettiford. You got three freshmen basically at Duke, you don't have another freshman. You've got every single team. Look, look at Florida's team. They got four mid major transfers that are having a huge impact on their team. So this is the future, you know, with nil, with the transfer portal. And that's why in a lot of ways, look, this is the way it's going to be. But we've got to get guidelines then we just have to. And we've got to have contracts and we've got to have incentives. And the other thing we got to do is we've got to eventually put education back into this thing. Also like you get guys transferred three or four times, it's going to impact graduation. We've got to have incentives for academic progress, retention, graduation, community service, along with, along with obviously team success and then maybe some individual success. We've got to have base salaries. We've got to find a way to get this thing back. And I'm all for the players making money. That's not it. But we've got to have some like maybe one college basketball is a professional sport right now. That's what it is. It's a professional sport. Name a professional sport that has year to year free agency. I don't think any. Well, the owners wouldn't allow it to happen because they. Yes, they don't want it to happen. And people say, well, coaches can go anytime they want. I agree. Coach go anytime they want. And you see a lot of coaches go from mid major to high major. You see Kevin Willard go from Maryland to Villanova just a week. And that's true. And what do coaches have in their contracts? They have two, they have two way security. They've got guarantees if they get fired, but they also have buyouts. And I actually think the part of the contracts with the players needs to be a buyout. I don't care who pays it. Player can pay it. The school that's trying to get the kid can pay it. But if we have buyouts and it's two ways and we have two year contracts, we can get some continuity in the game. All four number one seeds reach the final four. Second time that that happened. 2008. The only other time good thing for the tournament or a bad thing. This year a very good thing because those four teams have separated themselves all season long, all the sport teams, I think I'm not mistaken, have been number one in the country. This is the future. I don't know about all four number ones, but the one number ones beat the number twos. You saw what happened to Tennessee. You saw what happened to Michigan State. Yeah, I do. I think it's good on good. You're going to see the best players playing against each other. You're going to see the best teams who've earned it with their body of work throughout the season playing against each other. You're not just going to see a Cinderella who gets out. We don't have that many Cinderellas. We have them in the first round, the second round. There are very few VCUs and Loyolas. That doesn't happen very often. And I look at upsets. If you have a one and a three and they're major conferences and they teams that have beaten other high level teams, it's no big thing. But this year and the last time it was the four number ones, it was in San Antonio also this year, these four teams have separated themselves throughout the season. Their body of work said that, you know, let's see good on good. Let's see great defense in Houston and great offense and defense in Duke. Let's see Jedi Broom having his Willis Reed type moment coming out of the locker room, you know, and making that, and making that three, you know, against, you know, a Florida team with Walter Clayton absolutely just took over two games. At the end of the games, I actually think it's. We have a great final 4. Seth Greenberg ESPN college basketball analyst Let me go back to Walter Clayton Jr. I am a big proponent of not letting your best player beat me. And I for the life of me couldn't understand this. You know that's the one guy, right? Everybody in the building knows that's the one guy. Why am I not getting two people at him? Why not? Am I? And I know he's quick, he's got a quick release, all of that. I got to take the ball out of his hands. Seth, I don't understand this from a coaching perspective. Tell me what I'm missing here. Look, look, that was my philosophy every time I won a big game, we took the other team's best player out. I mean it was just an automatic. Grant McCarthy did that for 36 minutes. They blitzed him on every ball screen. They got the ball out of his hands and they did an incredible job on. They always committed to the ball and forced him to kick it out. Now one time late Game look that upset. It takes two to tag them. So like Texas Tech helped it by missing the free throws. Texas helped him by taking some quick shots. And then, you know, Thomas Howe happened. He makes those first two threes, which were huge. One of them on a pass off a double team where they got the ball out of Clayton Sands and he gave it up early and knocked down a big three late in the game. I, I, I am 100 agree with you. Late in the game, I thought Clayton did a really good job of relocating quickly before they could send a second guy at him. The one, the last one he made where he was inside the three point line about the foul line and he turned and dribbled out and got himself squared up. I, like, I asked Jay Will the other day how hard I couldn't, I can't relate to him. How hard is that to do? And like, it's really hard. So like, I give the guy credit for making those plays, but that's what Grant McCasland wanted to do. But he, like, he said he thought his team got a little tired and lost its focus and, and you lose your focus on that guy and he sends you home. Yeah, and you're right about the free throws, because if they make the free throws, then there's over. There's no heroics there. How would you describe Cooper Flag's game to somebody who hadn't seen him play? The most versatile player I've seen. And I, I compare him to Grant Hill, Scotty Pippen, very much those two guys, I think. And Jason Tatum, though, he's got kind of a mixture of all three of those guys. I mean, he can initiate your offense kind of like they do with Tatum and Scotty Pippen. Danny, he scores at all three levels. People don't really appreciate his 72 wingspan. He's got great defensive range and he's so damn unselfish. Like, like, like he's a terrific passer. I mean, his feel for the game for, he's 18 years old. He's 18 years old and he just plays like total, like, I got this, we're in good shape. Never gets too high. Now his mom has lost her mind, but he is perfectly fine. Like, that dude's playing in the biggest games, in the biggest moments, knocking down big shots. And like his mom, he made a couple turnovers early in the game and the first thing he hears from his mom is three turnovers. You got to be better with the ball. I mean, there's a high standard, there's a high standard in the Flag family. I understand that, but he's unique. You know, people say unicorn. Yeah, I don't know. I've never met a unicorn, so I don't know what a unicorn is. But the dude is like, really? He's not only special, but his demeanor is special. And yet being fiercely competitive, you coached against Duke when people hated Duke. Yeah, but this team has embrace. I said to Coach Shire, I said, people don't dislike Duke. Like, they're kind of like, yeah, you might not root for him, but it doesn't feel like you're rooting against them. Yeah, I mean, a little bit I do. With Mike and the Evil Empire, it had to do with, you know, just the, the, the, the, the amount of success he had, the, the consistency and his success. Duke became the Yankees. You loved them, you hated him. And I. It's just the way it is. So, I mean, Coach K and, and what he was able to build and the consistency that he had, people got tired of him. And, you know, either you liked him, you didn't like John Shire, and I'm glad you had him on. To me, he's incredible. He is so comfortable in his own skin. He's Not Coach K 2.0 or 1.0. He's John Shire 2.0. He is 100%, unapologetically himself. The way they play totally different style of basketball in a lot of ways. The way they defend differently. They're not denying everything to keep you in front. The way he interacts with his team holds him accountable, but a little bit different, but a great communicator. Coach K was a great motivator in the history of our sport, maybe in the history of sport ever. His ability to create causes when he did it with the Olympic team or with the Stoop teams. But John Shire has a likability to him. He's allowed these guys and it's a different age. Everyone knows these guys now from TikTok and social media and the accessibility that they have. You see their personalities, they're not like put in small boxes. So I think the social media aspect of it has changed it. John Shire's approach has changed it. And these kids are very comfortable putting themselves out and being a little bit outside the box of you would think that people expect them to be. I know you're busy. Thanks as always. Great to talk to you again, Seth. Always honored to be on your show. You're the best. That's Seth Greenberg, ESPN college basketball analyst and former coach at Virginia Tech. Yeah, I think Cooper Flagg is a Little too unselfish. And his coach even echoed those sentiments. You like to get your teammates involved. When you're the best player, you know, it's easy for you to say, hey, you might be. I might be double teamed, you might be open, but I might have a better chance of making the shot. But he's been really good at engaging his teammates and he's a really good passer. That's not necessarily something we focused on. I mean, Nikola Jokic has brought that back where we're looking at style, assist. But Cooper, Flag's a really good passer. Yes, he. That's got to be the kind of thing that there has to be a balance though, right? I mean, you can't remove that from him totally. Nor like you wouldn't want to. And at the same time too, you don't. It can't all be on him. Right. So you kind of have to get your teammates going sometimes too. He just does it too much, in my opinion. Yes, he's. But it hasn't cost them. Maybe at the wrong time, maybe too. Yeah, I, There'd be times if I'm his coach where I would say, Cooper, you take over or you say you start running plays for him. You're saying to your team, we want to let him be great. Yes. And because taking over is a skill you have to learn too. If we, if we need a bucket right now, I'll go get it right now, no problem. You know, that's something that you have to develop and everybody knows you're getting the ball and they still can't stop. Still doesn't matter. Yeah, Pauling. It is funny though, watching Duke this season. Flag gets all the coverage. But Con knipple the other freshman, he is not scared to shoot in a tough situation. He's very aggressive. He gets nowhere near the coverage. He also looks like he's in high school, but man, he's a, he's a not scared player. He's benefited from Cooper Flag because all he does is find his spot on the court and then Flag will find him. And he's a really, really, really good shooter. That's why he's going to be a top 15 pick. Yes, Marv, he's going to be one of those guys where he might have a better NBA career than a college career because you're like, man, he's six, seven. He just sits there. He shoots three very much. I don't want to call him Klay Thompson. Whoa, whoa. But he might have a Klay Thompson, like, impact. Mike in Iowa. Hi. Mike. Best and worst of the weekend. Hey, Dan. Best of the weekend. Chicago White Sox winning opening day, putting them above.500 for the first time since March of 2023. Worst of the weekend, losing the next two games to go sub.500. Thank you, Mike. Yeah, but he made a big deal about the White Sox. Yeah, they won and then they went back to being the White Sox. We'll take a break. More Phone calls coming up. 877-3-DP show back after this.

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 keep 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 yazukle on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. 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 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?

This audience is often asking if I'm listening to new music or maybe a new TV show. The answer is TV show. Yes. I haven't found any new music in a while, but the studio was Seth Rogen, very good, saw the first episode and he runs a movie studio in Hollywood. And it's. You have real people in the industry in this. The show. Charlize Theron is in it. Bryan Cranston's in it. You had who's the Martin Scorsese is in it playing himself. And it's, it's good, it's fun, it's snappy, and camera work might be a hit or miss for you. It's kind of a one camera following along with, you know, no cuts. But I enjoyed it so far. Reacher's done and that was great. Season three of Reacher and White Load is still watching that. But the studio is good. A lot of laughs with that. Most cars on the road could use a little tlc.

Morning, brother. Morning show. As always, this one thing I'd like to point out with this bat controversy, and I'm a longtime Yankee fan, I know there's a lot of haters out there, but no one has pointed out on any of the shows this morning that the Yanks were playing a Milwaukee team whose pitching staff might be one of the worst in baseball right now due to the injuries that it's had. Okay? So that's just my point this morning. That's not a good story, Fran. The bats are a good story. Nobody wants to talk about the brewers inept pitching staff because then you can't really like they want to blame somebody for something. That's why the Yankees and these bats, these torpedo bats, well, they must be getting away with something. I, I hear you there. It's not, it's not the narrative that's going to sell. Oh, no, no. You gotta, you gotta be in the content business. You have to understand. What are more people going to be talking about? That Brewer's staff is not any good or the Yankees could somehow be getting away with something. But thank you for the phone call, friend. How about we go around the room? Best and worst of the weekend. Todd. Best and worst of the weekend. My best was on that very topic. I'm giving it to the Yankees batching their 29 win Saturday against the brewers in the Bronx. Aaron Judge. Three home runs in the game. Nearly went yard a fourth time. Hit like the top of the wall. The team had four homers in the first inning alone. Back to back to back shots, three consecutive pitches. First time New York had five home runs in the first two innings of a game. Nine total Dingers a franchise record worse of the weekend. We mentioned this early also. Texas Tech nine point lead with three minutes left against Florida. Trip to the final form the line, allowing the Gators to three threes in a short window of time. Red Raiders filling blue. Yes, but also the missed free throws. You make the free throws. It doesn't matter what Walter Clayton Jr. III is doing. Cedo Connor. My worst of the weekend is former Maryland coach, now Villanova head coach, Kevin Willard. The way he pretty much handled this entire year, bad, let alone just the tournament, was about as terrible as you could get. Yeah. I wonder now sometimes when something like this happens and like everybody points their finger at like this guy is the bad guy here and you're the school that has just hired them. It's got to be tough to be like, all right. No, it's all right. It's good. Okay. No, we're excited. We're excited about this. Ladies and gentlemen, Kevin Willard, everybody. My worst of the weekend was him. My best of the weekend was actually the Internet's reaction to Kevin Willard, which was just a non stop source of entertainment. You had Jimmy's Famous Seafood selling snake bites on sale. You got all kinds of just great reaction to Kevin Willard. Bad kept secret. Poorly kept secret. We kept saying, I think he's out the door. You're at the door on a zoom call, dude. Really? A zoom call to your players. Come on. Come on, Marvin. Best and worst of the weekend. Best of the weekend. Paige Becker's career high 40 points. Great lead eight win against. Excuse me. Sweet 16 win against Oklahoma. Good for Paige. Worst of the weekend, my UConn men's hockey team losing an overtime to Penn State for a chance to go to the frozen four. Great season, but it came up short. Paul. I'm gonna go baseball. Miami Marlins, three wins, three walk off wins to start the season. Of their three in one record that hasn't been done in 20 years. I actually had on my notes. Milwaukee brewers, zero and three. They're supposed to be a good team. They've been outscored by 22 runs in only three games. Their pitching staff has given up 36 runs in three games. Okay, Rich in Athens. Hi, Rich. What's on your mind today, Mr. Dan Patrick. Nice to talk with you. I'm sitting here with my. My puppy dog, Fritzi, and we're just in the down in the dumps about our Atlanta Braves and we need someone to talk us off The Ledge. We're 0 and 4 with three games upcoming against the undefeated Dodgers, which means we'll be.07 by Wednesday. But that leads me into my stat of the day, which is only four teams in MLB history have started.05 and made the playoffs. Would you like to guess? Or I can just give you the list. Yeah, you just give me the list. The 74 Pirates, the 95 Reds, the 2011 Rays, and last year's New York Mets. All right. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Here comes. Here comes that what? Stat of the day. Pete in Rochester. What's on your mind today, Pete? Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call. I wanted to shed some light on this quote unquote bat controversy with the Yankees and just bring some historical perspective to it. As we know, there's a long history in sports of teams using any advantage they can, whether it be equipment or. Or different things. And it takes me back to 1984 to Adams College, where a group of nerds with the Trilams were taking on a heavily favored jock team with the Alpha Betas in the Greek games. And they used aerodynamic principles to change the javelin to match Lamar's limp wristed throwing style to ultimately win the javelin event. Well, thank you, Pete. For Revenge of the Nerds, we were meant. That's one of the great sports movies of all time. Grady in Naples. Hi, Grady. What's on your mind? Hey, Grady. Dan. How are you doing? Good, sir. Hey, I just wanted to add some history. If it's the same dimension, the baseball bat had been used previously. It was called a bottle bat. And way back in the days of the White Sox, their second baseman, who I believe is all star many years, Nelly Fox. Yeah. Used to use that bottle bat all the time because he batted second. And his key role was not as a power hitter but as a buncher to advance what the likes of Louis apparitio, etc. When they were called the Go Go White Sox. All right, well, thank you, Grady. Once again, the bat can't be more than 2.61 inches in diameter. Diameter. So you know they're not adding more to it. You can, it must adhere to what the, you know, the requirements are here. Can't be more than 42 inches in length. It just feels like all of a sudden baseball went, wait a minute, what are they using? Is that legal? More of your phone calls on the way. On this Monday, best and worst of the weekend. 877Three DP show operator Tyler sitting by to take your calls. Final hour on the way.
