This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

I'm Daniel Alarcon, and this is my friend. This is much more famous than I am. I wouldn't go that far, but I'm John Green. Co-hosted the podcast The Away End with my old friend Daniel. On our podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup.

Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important.

Listen to the away end with Daniel Auer Kohn and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio.

Hour until tip off.

We got our brackets in.

If you're in the bracket challenge, you can follow along, Danpatrick.com.

Quite a guest list here.

Ecclectic.

Fritzy, of course, doing the honors, cultivating the celebrities, including Chris Manix. I can't call him a celebrity, but we do love Manix. So he snuck in as maybe our final

celebrity, question mark? Let's see. Wait, John Smoltz didn't get his bracket in still have not received

him shocked he loves this time of the year and his Spartans okay he's probably thinking he

has until noon Mark Cuban was supposed to join us he was supposed to submit a bracket yes okay

okay fair enough yeah Paulie would you consider granting an exemption until noon? I would need to know what the reason is. Smoltz is a regular. Yeah. And Mark Cuban, I think he's been in before, but it's been a while. Yeah, I was surprised that he was willing to do it. But, you know, I can give a sponsor's exemption, maybe.

Maybe, I don't want to say I'll look the other way, but, you know, if I don't know what's going on,

then I'm fine with letting it happen there. But we'll give you our final fours coming up.

We also play the disappointment draft as well.

That'll be coming up momentarily.

Here is the news.
