Hello, hello, hello, let's go. It's Monday, March 31st, 2025. Hope you had a great weekend.

This is first thing with Kevin Mano. Real quick look at all the top headlines, and it feels like there's a lot today.

So let's get to it. The show starts right now.

And we always start with the top story. Friday morning, I mentioned the very fresh news of a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand.

Now a few days later, we have a better understanding of the damage and destruction.

Unfortunately, the death toll kept rising all weekend.

As of this morning, it's right around 1, Authorities estimate that the final number could be

somewhere over 10,000. That is honestly hard to fathom. Rescuers are working to find people

digging through the rubble. It's a terrible scene there. I know that some outside aid has

begun arriving. A Chinese team arrived over the weekend. It's tough, though, because a lot of the

key roads to get in have been damaged by the quake.

This will continue to be a top story.

This is a devastating earthquake.

I'm going to link some ways to help up in our Instagram stories this morning if you feel compelled.

At First Thing Pod in the Instagram stories, you can find it there.

Let's go.

All right, okay.

On to sports, checking in on March Madness.

The men's turning is down to the final four.

Florida will play Auburn and Duke will play Houston.

Both of those games are coming up on Saturday.

And all four of those teams are number one seeds.
