The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. You know, I'm starting to get. It's not hate mail, hate email, but, Marvin, some people are coming after you because of your music choices for stat of the day answer. Well, let me get to Steve in Michigan. Hi, Steve. Marvin is here to listen to your complaint for play of the day. Hey, first time or long time? First time. Six two two, 35. Not about. Not about the music. Yeah, not about the music. It's. Oh, it's. We forgot about that. Never mind. Steve, how you doing, Steve? You okay, buddy? Yeah. Marvin, your response? Steve, do you need help? Do you need us to send the authorities? You know, Marvin's got a complaint with you. Steve, don't call in again until you get your act together. We're a professional organization here. Yeah, he needs to worry about that more so than my play of the day selection. Yeah. Or stat of the day. Okay. Welcome to the program. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock. Yes, Todd is back. The king of comedy is back with us, ready to go. And he will make up for the last, you know, last three days. He wasn't able to join us and he promises to be extra funny today. You may be waiting a while. Seaton is here. Marvin and Paulie as well. Yours truly. We got basketball coming up in two hours. Congratulations to Xavier. Gets by Texas. Mount St. Mary's beats American. There is this groundswell for North Carolina and now I. The number of analysts I heard yesterday who walk back, probably a lot of their comments are like, hey, you know what? They're sneaky good. Okay. Should they. Did they deserve to get in the tournament or not? Like, that's the only question I have. You can be a good team, a sneaky team, but not be good enough to get into the tournament. Jim Boeheim, has North Carolina gone, I think to the Sweet 16, maybe the Elite Eight, but everybody seems to be walking back a little bit with North Carolina. North Carolina should be good. You know, this isn't high Point. It's North Carolina. We. We look surprised. Sound surprised. Where we go, hey, Carolina, they could be a Bracket buster. Scrappy. Okay, underdog, Gritty, gutty underdog. It's not Drake, it's North Carolina. Like a feel good story. They become a feel good story as an underdog here. Yes, Paulie, there has to be blame for this. Like North Carolina barely making the tournament. They used to recruit. They would probably pass on top recruits 10 years ago, 20 years ago. Or Syracuse not making it for four years. This has to be nil based. That spreads the talent around. Well, North Carolina lost one of their best players to Arizona. Like, who was it? Caleb Love ended up like, you know, who would have thought that North Carolina would lose a player to Arizona? But this is a whole different era here. And Hubert Davis and you know, I even saw where some analysts were like, you know, mate, should they move on from Hubert Davis? Well, he's a Tar Heel. You just gave him a contract extension. Weren't they in the title game, what, last year, the year before. So I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon and I don't think he should. But this man, Carolina, we don't know what's going on. I mean, let's just be honest. Total transparency for the most part. Even if you watch college basketball all year long, something happens in March where you go, it's unexplainable and you'll have somebody's coming out of nowhere. Happens every single year. And there's going to be a number one seed where you go, oh my God. They, they got bounced early. Yes, Martin. And in the NCAA tournament, all it takes is one bad game. Or on the other side, have a Cinderella, have just one great game and get high from three point range and that's it for your season. We got a garage sale going on. Everything on sale@danpatrick.com we're clearing out inventory for the spring and everything must go. 877-3-DP Show Email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show Diana Rossini has done a great job in the off season as an NFL insider for the Athletics. She'll join us coming up here in a little bit. And she had a report on Aaron Rodgers. ESPN had a report on Aaron Rodgers. I'm not sure kind of where this story is headed or even where it is right now, but it felt like the Vikings weren't interested in Aaron Rodgers and then it felt like they're interested maybe. And I'm like, either you are or you're not. So I thought Diana Rossini can join us and we can talk to her about are The Vikings waiting for something. And if they are, what are they waiting for? And as a result, is Aaron Rodgers either going to the Vikings or. Or going into retirement? But also, you have the Brown situation, the Steelers situation. Russell Wilson is still out there. There's still some. There's chairs available in the musical chairs with quarterbacks here, but we're running out of music and we're running out of chairs. All right, so later today tonight, Houston, Auburn, Tennessee, St. John's among the luminaries that we'll be playing. Oh, also, rick Patino in St. John's feels like a feel good story. Like Patino feels like a feel good story. And who would have thought that if you go back to what happened at Louisville, he was coaching in Greece. I remember when he came back and he got the job at St. John's and I said to Fritzi, I said, reach out to Patino and I think it was St. John's I don't think it was Iona, but he went from Crosstown. We were in New York and he wanted to be on the show. Was he going to Iona or St. John's Fritzi, do you remember that day? I have to check. I thought he was going to Iona, but you may be right. But he goes and he spends two years and then he turns a team around. That's his mo. He's done that every place he goes. Now, was he a great NBA coach? No, but he's the kind of coach that's a control freak. And college, he can control. He can make you play. His style. He has different styles. But Jim Boeheim was saying, if you're going to say Coach K is the greatest coach, let's take John Wooden out of it. Rick Patino's right there with coach Mike Krzyzewski. That is high praise from a Hall of Fame coach in Jim Boeheim. Yes, Marvin. And I think it's the combination of Patino and St. John's both making a comeback because like you said, St. John's I don't ever remember. Remember St. John's being this good. I remember a couple years to our test years, but never like this. So it seems like both of these entities have just, you know, making big comebacks this season. Yeah. And it's a big deal in New York. Therefore, you got the media capital and Everybody writing about St. John's and Rick Patino. But it is a really good story. If you get an opportunity and you didn't see that 30 for 30 on the big east, watch it and you'll understand Basketball in New York at that time in the 80s. St. John's Georgetown, Villanova, Syracuse, just to name a few of these schools. Yes, Todd. And when he goes white on white with that suit, look out. That is just. That's trouble. It's terrible. It's terrible. That is terrible. You don't like the Tony Monero Siva look? No, it's not trouble. It's troubling. 877-3-DP show email address dpadanpatrick.com Twitter handle I'm shocked that you feel that way. It's terrible. Look, I lived through the disco era on the back end of the disco era, and I had a couple of bad, bad outfits. I mean, they. They felt like they were bad in the moment, and then all of a sudden you see them after the fact and you go, oh, my God. No wonder a woman didn't talk to me. And all of a sudden you're walking up, platform shoes had bell bottom pants on, tight shirt, hair parted down the middle. I would ask. Yeah, yeah, like. Well, that says a lot about you, Todd. Yes, Paul. The I team look back to find when Rick Patino debuted the white suit, it was winter of 2008 with Louisville, and he said he'd had it for a while and been waiting for the right time. The right time was when your team was 31 and 6. That's the perfect time to debut it. By the way, three months after he debuted the white suit, they won the NCAA title. Who has. How far do you have St. John's going? I have. I think I have them in Elite 8. I do. More of them in the elite Eight. To Elite Eight, Marvin. I have them winning the national title. I do. You know, I was close to doing that, too. Wow. You know who I have them have knocking out? St. John's North Carolina. Not Seton Hall. I wish. Unfortunately, they're not available. Marvin's Yukon Huskies. Oh, yeah, that's right, Marvin. Yeah. You believe. I'm not really sure. Why? Because I either think they're gonna lose in the first round or win the whole thing. Same. It's one of the two you can believe. Yes, Todd. I have Johnny's 83, Duke 77 in the national title game. Dang. Go, Redstone. Okay. We are so in the bubble. Yes, we are. That's. We are in the tri state bubble right now. Holy smokes. What's the poll question for hour two? Seaton? I'm not sure if I ask you that or not. Well, let me see. Let me give you hour one, because we have A brotherly shove in there. Is that a football play or a rugby play? Right now, 65% of the audience have that as a rugby play. Rugby play. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? We go here. Here's another one for Paulie. We might as well. Just based on what we were talking about, are you rooting for or against St. John's and Rick Pitino? I think it's a great story. Rick is complicated. I've known rick's since the mid-80s and. But. But he's always been recognized as one of the great coaches in basketball. He just never stays very long at places. But you know that there are a lot of guys who are like that, that they just think, hey, I did this, fix this. Now let me go to the next team and then the next team and then the next team. If they had gotten Tim Duncan, who knows what kind of coach he would have been in the NBA. By the way, Bill Simmons documentary on the Celtics is wonderful. Even if you don't like the Celtics, there is so much footage, interviews Bill Russell, Red Auerbach, Bob Koozie's wonderful. And so far, what I've seen, it's great. The first two episodes been really wonderful. You get an opportunity. There is Jerry. Jerry west is on there in the first episode. And he, like you can see in his eyes, it's. It. It hurt him to the day he died that he couldn't beat the Celtics. It's still so fresh. He's talking about a game in 1962 where Frank Selby has an open 15 footer. And it was still bothering Jerry when they interviewed him and probably interviewed him, you know, not long before he died. The look in his eyes. And he talks about being a wolf when he's on the floor. You don't bleep with the wolf. It's so personal and it painful as well. And I remember those Celtics teams were great. They just. They were just a little bit better than the Lakers. But Jerry, to his dying day, still painful. All right. Yes, Marvin. And you saw some of those NBA finals with the Celtics against Will Chamberlain's warriors or the Lakers with Jerry west and Elgin Baylor. Those games were coming down to the wire, game seven. So it was like they were just barely. So it wasn't like they were sweeping them or anything like that. And it was just like they were saying the difference between Russell and Chamberlain was Russell was trying to win. And that was bothering Will Chamberlain also. And Rut Arback just kind of sticking it to Will Chamberlain until he died. Yes. Yeah, he just said There was a difference between Russell and Chamberlain of their approach. Bill Russell wasn't about his numbers. He was about winning. And I think Red, you know, was saying that Wilt was about his numbers. Russell was about winning the game. But great footage in there and, you know, a lot of great interviews as well. Tyler in Portland. Hi, Tyler. What's on your mind today? Yeah. Oh my God. We need a ceasefire on Pandora, brother. Charity of your choice not to play that. So the singer Pandora. Not Pandora, the music site. Yes, sir. Pandora. Stat of the day has got to put out the pastor, man, I'll pay you, please, please. I'll pay you, man. I like it. I mean, it's, it's a. It's a moody stat of the day. I think it's kind of, I don't know, maybe a little too sexy for early in the morning, but I like it. Oh, damn. Give us. Yes, yes, Paulie. We have a some quick NBA news, so we're going to call it the NBA game. NBA news game. A little fill in the blank. Okay. All right. All right. Perfect, Marvin. All right. Manage. Bill Chisholm, I think that's his name. Chisholm, managing partner of Symphony Technology Group, has agreed to purchase Blank for the valuation of Blank. It's an NBA team, which mv team was bought this morning and for how much? Here's a hint. It's the biggest sale of a sports franchise in North American history. Any sport. The Celtics. Celtics is correct. Oh, okay. Celtics have been sold this morning. Nailed it. Okay. Closest to the hole for the price of the Celtics.

Dan Patrick
In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, Snafu, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula 6 because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor, and all along an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They 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?

We sift through innumerable accounts. 35 pages isn't very much. Many of them conflicting. That's nonsense. There were 60 pages and try to get to the truth of what really happened. And they said we're finished. This is over. It only is not going to work. You gotta get rid of those guys.

Packers still want to get rid of the brotherly shove. The Lions looking at a new format for seeding in the tournament as well the playoffs. So a lot of things going on. The NFL is always in play, certainly with the quarterbacking situations, given what's going on with the Giants and the Browns and the Steelers, the Vikings, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Diana Rossini, the athletic senior NFL insider, co host of the Athletic Scoop City podcast with Chase Daniel. First of all, you've done a wonderful job. You've done a wonderful job here in the off season. Not to say you don't do it in the regular season, but did want to have you on to say that. Great work. Now give us the latest here. Let's start with Aaron Rodgers because there were conflicting reports yesterday. Were the Vikings interested? Are they still interested in Aaron Rodgers? Hi.
- [25:58]
Diana Rossini
Well, first of all, thank you. Happy spring. We made it, buddy. We're here. Just like the fact that it's. It's pouring in our region, but we'll take it right as it just felt like a really long winter. And you sound annoyed by the quarterback carousel situation here a little bit. Are you the Steelers? Are you the Giants? Are you talking to them? Because I can tell you that they are. They're pretty annoyed by all this as as they're just waiting and you know, everyone knows the tale at this point that the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants are both very interested in Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers knows what kind of contract that both teams are offering. And the Minnesota Vikings spent, I'd say probably the last week and a half or so having really serious discussions about what this would mean for this team moving forward if they were to bring Aaron Rodgers on. And you had a lot of people in that building in favor of Rodgers after watching some film of him. And you know, those guys know a lot about him. They have good relationships with Rogers. And so there were certainly many people with Minnesota who believe that bringing Aaron Rodgers in this season was the best thing for the Minnesota Vikings. And I think from their perspective, it's, well, you don't get extra points winning a Super bowl because you want it with your draft pick with you, because you want it with the young quarterback. They built this team in free agency and you have to give them so much credit with how they've built this Vikings team. On paper, at this point right now, I think it's really reasonable to say that this is a Super Bowl, super bowl caliber team. They just need the quarterback. And the fact that the Vikings have now made the decision to table this, to say, okay, we want to give JJ McCarthy an opportunity this spring, tells me that Kevin O'Connell has hitched his wagon to JJ McCarthy and believes that this player is the future of the Minnesota Vikings, that he is the absolute best option over, let's say a future hall of Famer and Aaron Rodgers. So serious discussions happened, but Kevin O'Connell came to the decision that he believes that J.J. mcCarthy gives the Vikings a much better chance at winning than Aaron Rodgers does at this point.
- [28:19]
Dan Patrick
Well, okay, this is what I was told yesterday. Kevin, he knows he can mold J.J. mcCarthy. He's not molding Aaron Rodgers. And does Aaron Rodgers style of play fit with what Kevin wants with his offense? And I was told that it's not necessarily a great marriage. It's Aaron Rodgers and the, the high, high that you can get could be a Super Bowl. But that Kevin has, he is showing confidence in J.J. mcCarthy and he wants to make sure that he, that McCarthy doesn't lose, you know, going through rehab. He wants to make sure he understands. I got rid of Sam Darnold, you're my guy, but I'm doing my due diligence that probably ownership is asking him to do.
- [29:01]
Diana Rossini
Yeah, he, it's beyond confidence in JJ McCarthy if he's making this decision. He is hitching his wagon to JJ McCarthy. As JJ McCarthy goes, the Minnesota Vikings now go because they had an opportunity to bring in Aaron Rodgers. And to the, to the point that you're making of, well, he doesn't fit in this style of offense. I think Kevin O'Connell, the coach of the year, has proven that he can make any quarterback fit and find their best qualities to get the most out of them. I think that's Kevin's best trait. He is so adaptable. He is able to figure out pretty quickly what the strengths of these quarterbacks are. And, you know, we've talked on this show so many times about the Rodgers experience in New York, and while I don't ever, I never thought it was the right fit, I always understood what New York was doing. When you think about fit, when you think about personality, when you think about what a player like Aaron Rodgers needs around him at this point in his career, he does need somebody that he really, truly respects and can hold him accountable. And in my opinion, I think that's Kevin O'Connell. I think there's probably about five coaches in football right now that I would say, yep, that works, right? Like, Andy Reid can handle Aaron Rodgers, Mike Vrabel, Mike Tomlin, Sean McVeigh, Kevin O'Connell. Those are five off the top of my head that I feel very comfortable saying Aaron Rodgers respects. And I think Rodgers is looking at the situation right now going, I wanted to play for the Rams. That didn't work out. What's the next best? And based on these offseason moves, Minnesota is without a doubt the best option for Aaron Rodgers. And so now you have the Pittsburgh Steelers, who don't have a plan past Mason Rudolph, who are just waiting to hear from Aaron Rodgers. And, you know, the Giants would probably love this opportunity, but I think in their building, they, they. They know what's happening here. They know that they're probably not the prom queen here in this situation. So to me, the biggest takeaway was the Minnesota Vikings have very strong belief and confidence that JJ McCarthy is the guy, yet they're still going to discuss Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers is still on their radar, so they need to learn something this spring. I don't know what that is, but they need to see something. And, Dan, you've been doing this a long time. What is spring football? Not much. Right. Like, you don't know too much. It's pretty easy, laid back, but I think they want to see where he's at physically, where he's at mentally. There's a lot in play here before they really make their decision. That they're officially done with Aaron Rodgers because there's. There's no in or out on Rodgers. It's just for right now.

Dan Patrick
Diana Rossini, the Athletics senior NFL insider, co hosted the Athletic Scoop City with Chase Daniel. I thought the Steelers were going to bring back Justin Fields. I thought that made sense. Maybe it's a bridge quarterback, but I'm just. I'm kind of surprised the Steelers aren't acting like the Steelers and saying, darren Rodgers, dude, at the end of the business day, you're either in or you're out. We're the Steelers. You want to play. It's a privilege to play for the Steelers and a Hall of Fame coach and Mike Tomlin, TJ Watt, Minka Fitzpatrick, Cam Hayward. We brought in DK Metcalf. You make up your mind, and then if not, we're moving on. But you allowed Justin Fields to get out of the building. I don't know if you can bring Russ back, but where do the Steelers stand with this whole mess?
- [32:44]
Diana Rossini
Where are they going, Dan? What do you mean? They have no choice. Like, you're. You want Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan to call Aaron Rodgers today and say, we're the Pittsburgh Steelers. Are you in? Are you out? Yes, I'm Aaron Rodgers. I'm going.
- [33:00]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [33:00]
Diana Rossini
Okay, I'm out. If. If you. If you don't want to wait for me, because what are your options, Mason?
- [33:07]
Dan Patrick
What am I waiting for? What am I waiting for? You're the Steelers. I mean, is it. Is money involved in this, or is it just the. The chance to be with a better team? A chance to play in an NFC north and win a Super Bowl? I mean, is that what this is all. Okay.
- [33:24]
Diana Rossini
Yeah, this is. This is Aaron Rodgers going okay? The Vikings are telling me right now that they're not in, but they're not taking it off the table. Do I sit here and just be patient and just wait to see if maybe in the spring they realize that maybe JJ McCarthy isn't the guy, or maybe there's a setback physically, or maybe there's another quarterback on a different team that he would want to play for. Injured. Should I just sit back here right now and wait for a better opportunity, or do I go to Pittsburgh and look, you just ripped through some of the guys in this roster. I'm not sure how Aaron feels about Pittsburgh, but I think we could probably all agree if he was blown away by them, this would be done. He wouldn't be watching what the Minnesota Vikings were doing. It seems just like a really far backup plan for Rogers, if he even wants to do that. And then you have the New York Giants, and I don't even think that they have that much of a push in this in terms of Rogers wanting to be there, because we know the uphill battle that they have in terms of their roster and everything that they're dealing with with their coaching staff. So I think for Rogers, his mindset's like, I'm in no rush because you all need me. I don't really need you because if I choose not to play football, I choose not to play football. But I think the Minnesota Vikings are worth waiting out for. And I think he's willing to roll the die there.

Dan Patrick
What are the Giants doing?
- [34:57]
Diana Rossini
Hoping that Russell Wilson or Joe Flacco decide to come to New York? I think that's going to wind up being one of their backup plans, one or the other.
- [35:06]
Dan Patrick
They've been operating a quarterback. You think they're taking Shador Sanders?
- [35:12]
Diana Rossini
I do. I think they've always had the focus has always been to get a quarterback here. I think they've aggressively called up to Tennessee to try to move up. I don't get the sense right now out of Tennessee that that they've made a final decision yet. I just know that they haven't. They've obviously have not made this trade. I think Tennessee winds up going quarterback, and I think the New York Giants do as well. I think the Giants are going to do whatever they can to just try to get up and get a quarterback and then sort of figure out where to go from there. And what I find just fascinating in all this, and obviously I can't share every conversation I have and all the information we collect, but there have been so many moves made over the past two, three weeks here with all three of these organizations. And we're talking about big teams here, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Minnesota Vikings, the New York Giants, where I wonder if they're going to reflect on some of these calls and regret them. Right. Starting with Minnesota letting Sam Darnold walk. We want to invest in the young guy, right? So we're going to let the guy that just won 14 games for us leave the building. We have no insurance plan now. Right now. Oh, well, maybe we will get Daniel Jones. Daniel wants to be here. We can win with Daniel. We've got the best quarterback whisperer in football. He can get the Most out of D.J. well, Daniel Jones wants to be the starter without having to deal with a young draft pick that's going to compete for the job that because he was Handpicked by quesi and Kevin O'Connell. The young guy's going to get the edge, right? Like, we see it all the time in sports. Whoever that guy's coach is, they usually get the edge. They're the favorite. So Daniel Jones looks at the situation. He's like, I don't. I don't want to be in this mess. I can go to Indy and just win this thing. So this is why when I say Kevin O'Connell is tethered to JJ McCarthy, because it's not just Aaron Rodgers, it's Sam, it's Daniel Jones, and it's a future hall of Fame quarterback. All three of these quarterbacks, they're willing to say no. We can win with jj, with this roster, and if they feel good about it, I guess we got to just believe them.
- [37:26]
Dan Patrick
The brotherly shove just keeps. It doesn't go away. Feels like the packers are like, can you please take this out of the game? We can't stop it, but nobody else can as well. My simple solution is just don't allow somebody to be behind Jalen hurts and block him from behind. That's all. I still think they would be just as successful running a quarterback sneak with that line and Jalen hurts. But do you. Is there any chance that the NFL, when the owners get together, they're going to say, you know what? None of us can stop it. We want it out of the game, and then we vote on it?
- [38:04]
Diana Rossini
Yeah, I think it's a long shot still. I actually thought it had. I thought there was more teeth to it a year ago, you know, and you saw the report that Green Bay is the one that proposed it because they. They bring up player safety. There's. There's no information about that out there. That's not really a strong leg to stand on at this point. But. But even having con about this over the last few weeks, when it started to bubble up again, I think you always have to look at some of the players involved, and. And I never got the sense that Roger Goodell was for it. I always felt that he didn't like it because he thought it was an ugly play. He didn't like the. The optics, the aesthetics. And I know that there are some on the competition committee who feel that way as well, but I. I think in the end, most around the league, including owners, have the same mindset that you do and that I think a lot of teams do. It's, let's not punish this team because you can't figure out a way to stop it. Maybe put your efforts into to solving that problem before having to change the rule because your team doesn't have that advantage.
- [39:15]
Dan Patrick
Great to talk to you. And we'll be watching. We'll be watching to make sure we find out where Russ is going, where Aaron is going. If you had to bet though, just guess.
- [39:26]
Diana Rossini
You know, insiders hate this stuff. I hate guessing because, you know, Bobby, the aggregator out there, it's like headline Rossini says Rogers to Seattle, Sam Darnold's getting cut. You know, like, do you want to.
- [39:39]
Dan Patrick
Do just a, just a guess on, on any of those topics? So like the Giants or the Browns or the Steelers with the Vikings with retirement with whatever. 1. Just give me one guess. Not a report. Once again, this is not a report by Diana Rossini. This is not a report.
- [39:58]
Diana Rossini
This is a guess. This is a guess. I feel like we have to just emphasize this. Yes, I think Aaron Rodgers is going to be a Minnesota Viking.
- [40:12]
Dan Patrick
That is breaking news. Hey, let's get that out. Social media. We're going to get some, we're going to get some hits. Rossini reports. Yes, Aaron Rodgers will be the Vikings quarterback.

Thank you. Thank you, guys. Diana Racini. That was a guess. That's all that was. It was a guess. It was not a report. Not as amused as we were with that joke, but no, she wasn't. She, she knew what she was walking into. Or at least she thought she did all of a sudden. Oh, she said it. Bunch of videos. The podcast is Scoop City with Chase Daniel. That's Diana Rossini. Let's take a break here. How about we all just take a break? We'll come back with your phone calls after this.

Every single morning in under 15 minutes, we take the news and boil it down to three essential stories so you can keep up without feeling stressed out. Listen up first from NPR on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts, 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.

Diana Rossini
Government is starting to go, okay, this isn't working.
- [41:51]
Dan Patrick
In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast Snafu, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula 6. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor, and all along an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did Prohibition's war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people?

Join me Jorge Cham, as we tackle questions you've always wanted to know the answer to about animals, space, our brains and our bodies. Questions like can you survive being cryogenically frozen? This is experimental. This may never work for you. What's a quantum computer? It's not just a faster computer, it performs in a fundamentally different way. Do you really have to wait 30 minutes after eating before you can go swimming? It's not really a safety issue, it's more of a comfort issue. We'll talk to experts, break it down, and give you easy to understand explanations to fascinating scientific questions. So give yourself permission to be a science geek and listen to science stuff on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Love it. First swipe? I highly doubt it. What's your biggest red flag?

Diana Rossini

Dan Patrick
What's your ultimate green flag? These days, reality TV and social media have us thinking love is instant. We're marrying strangers at first sight, we're finding love through walls, or we're even judging people by balloon pops. But what really makes a relationship last? On this episode of Dope Labs, poet, author and relationship expert Young Pueblo breaks down the psychology and biology of loving better, and he provides eye opening insights and advice that we all need. It's a big realization moment that you should not be postponing your happiness like your greatest Happiness is not necessarily going to come from a relationship, your partner, they should add to your happiness, but your happiness is really coming from within you. Listen to dope labs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Mark Seale. And I'm Nathan King. This is Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli. The five families did not want us to shoot that pict. Leave the Gun Take the Cannoli is based on my co host Mark's best selling book of the same title. And on this show we call upon his years of research to help unpack the story behind the Godfather's birth. From start to finish, this is really the first interview I've done in bed. We sift through innumerable accounts. 35 pages isn't very much. Many of them conflicting. That's nonsense. There were 60 pages and try to get to the truth of what really happened. And they said we're finished. This is over. Not only is not going to work, you got to get rid of those guys. It's disaster. Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli features new and archival interviews with Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Evans, James Caan, Talia Shire and many others. Yes, that was a real horse's head.

You guys want to take a guess on what are the odds of a perfect bracket? One in how many Seaton will start with you? 235 million. All right, Paul. I'm gonna say similar to The Celtics sale. One in six billion. One in six billion. Celtics went for a little over $6 billion. A sale in the middle of a season, Marvin, A perfect bracket. What are the odds? 1 in 3 billion. All right, Todd. 1 in 437 million. You have a 1 in 9.2 quintrillion chance of a perfect bracket. Is that a real word? So you're saying there's a chance to give you an idea of what that is. Let's say you have a picture that has 1 million dots. Each dot had a million dots within itself. So that's a trillion dots. You would need 9.2 million images of that to get to 9.2 quintillion dots. Yes. A quintillion is a one followed by 18 zeros. Remember when Warren Buffett would offer up whatever, a million dollars if any of his employees got a perfect bracket? Yes, Todd. Based on those odds, it's being pretty cheap Got to make that at least a 20 million dollar product. I would say a billion. I would say a billion dollars to peel off a bill to make that happen. He could do that. Yeah. Yes. Paulie. I'd never heard that numerical phrase before. That's how rare it is. Quintillion. I thought it was trillion, but it's quintillion. That's. Isn't that like a dance or something? Yeah, a cotillion. Oh, a cotillion. Hey, you get all dressed up? Yeah. You're going to the quintillion? Oh, yes, I am. Hans in Arizona joins us on the program. Good morning, Hans. How are you? Hey, Dan. Doing great. Thanks for taking my call. Six foot two, top heavy, 265. And I'm calling also to. I don't maybe complain about that, that Pandora version of stat of the day, but I don't know if you guys have enough choices for stat of the day, so I'd like to submit my entry for another stat of the day song that you can play so that you don't have to go back to the Pandora one ever again. Okay. All right. So a live stat of the day song from Hans in Arizona. Here we go. Ready? Okay. Stat of the stat of the day. Here it comes. The day. It's the stat of the day. Alrighty. Yeah.

David in Michigan. Hi, David. What's on your mind today? Hi, Dan. First time, long time, 5ft 9 and a svelte, 155. Yesterday you talked about stem cell harvesting. And my wife and I are at Mayo Clinic right now and Teresa is going through harvesting. Five, five hours on the machine. Teresa is called in your show and is now lovingly known in our family as Teresa from Michigan. She never, ever misses your show, including this morning. You and the Dan are so important in our daily life. Going through cancer treatment. This is her second go around. Anyone going through cancer treatment knows it's very personal and very scary. You've had multiple callers through the years that have called about this. But it's your show that allows Teresa and me to think of something else. For three hours, Monday through Friday, we feel we are part of the wider sports world. We recap your shows literally every day. And she's become. She's become the sports authority in our extended family. And I mean the sports authority. We have a motto, Dan, through this journey, which has been incredibly successful thanks to Mayo Clinic. And that motto is Grace, gratitude, grit and courage. And I would add the Dan Patrick show. Thank you, David. Thank you. And to Teresa. We were with you every step of the way, and we hope to hear from you. Yeah, I had reaction from. I brought up stem cell. I went to Panama. This is a little while ago. I was still trying to fix the autoimmune disease that I have and wonderful people there and had some progress and have felt as good as I've felt in the last 12 years. I don't know. You know, diet has played a role. Vitamins have played a role. But Jay Glaser is the one who said, I know you're going through a lot. Go down, try it. And my wife and I went, that was a. I don't know if it was a vacation, but they put 50,000 stem cells in you a day through an IV and, you know, they don't guarantee anything. Didn't know how long, months after it would take. But I have turned the corner here, and for all of those who've been involved, certainly the Danettes, because that was every day. Every day. But thank God I had work to go into instead of just sitting around feeling sorry for myself. But thank you for the reaction to that. I'm not telling you that stem cells for you. I'm telling you that it was for me. Do your research. And I did that. And Jay Glazer said, try it. And Jay has had some great results with that. Sean in Oregon. Hi, Sean. What's on your mind today? Hey, thanks for taking my call, Dan. I just wanted to call and stick up for defensive to defensive players. And you look at, you know, last year's mvp, Joel Embiid. You know, he has been the defensive player of the year before. And when you go back five years ago to Giannis, he was defensive Player of the year when he won that mvp. And when I think of the Joker. When I think of the Joker, I think of the time a few years back when he was the. The next to the very last person chosen at the All Star selection. And I think, what MVP has ever been chosen next to last? I mean, he had to stand up actually, before he's even chosen because he was about to be the last player. That's how I think. He's unathletic and he's not fun to watch, brother. He's a great battle. But that's the All Star Game that now we were building a team. Where do you think Joker would be drafted if we're drafting a team, Sean? Not an All Star lineup? Well, he ain't cool enough to be on my team. I think that's what it comes down to, well, I'll take him on my team. You can take the cool guys if you want to, but thank you for the phone call. Joker is not Giannis, not Embiid, but he leads all centers in defensive rebounding and he leads all centers in steals. Something has to be said for that as far as defensive stats. Final hour on the way. Get some more phone calls back after this. Hey, it's a Martinez. The news can feel like a lot on any given day, but you can't just ignore la Noticias when important world changing events are happening. That is where the Up first podcast comes in. Every single morning in under 15 minutes. We take the news and boil it down to three essential stories so you can keep up without feeling stressed out. Listen up first from NPR on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up everyone? It's Greg Rosenthal and I'm teaming up with the King of Spring, Daniel Jeremiah. He requires me to say that we're going to be bringing you 40s and free agents, the only podcast you'll need this NFL draft season. From DJs, mock drafts to my top 101, free agents will have it covered for you with all new episodes every Thursday keeping you up to date as we head to the NFL Draft. Listen to 40s and free agents starting on March 6th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Prohibition is synonymous with speakeasies, jazz, flappers, and, of course, failure. I'm Ed Helms and on season three of my podcast Snafu, there's a story I couldn't wait to tell you. It's about an unlikely duo in the 1920s who tried to warn the public that prohibition was going to backfire so badly it just might leave thousands dead from poison.
