There's a reason why I talk trash doing pick up basketball, even when I'm losing, because if you don't let them know you came to play, they might forget you exist. Just like the reason why Morgan and Morgan is America's largest injury law firm. They've been doing business for over 35 years, fighting for people, just like me,

just like all of you out there listening. And when I say large, we mean large. Morgan and Morgan has over 100 offices, more than 1,000. lawyers nationwide. That's not a law firm. That's a whole damn squad when hiring Morgan and Morgan is like hiring an army that has your back. And the numbers speak for themselves. They recovered over $25 billion for more than 500,000 clients, real results like in Florida. One client got $12 million after the insurance company offered $350,000. And in Pennsylvania, a client ended up with $29 million when the

insurance best offer was $500K. Wow. If you're injured because somebody else was negligent, you deserve to be paid. Here's the thing. If you hire the wrong law firm, you might get beat before the game even start. All law firms are not the same, and there's a reason why Morgan and Morgan is America's largest injury law firm.

We're about 2,500 subs away from that magical number of, of two million. Slowly we get there, but we're going to get there. The Hawkeyes to the Sweet 16, and in the process of getting there,

they had to knock off the defending number one seed, the Florida Gators. On the first year head coach, Ben McCullum, the Hawkeyes reached the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1999, while sending the 27 and eight Florida Gators became the first number one seat to be knocked out in this year's March Madness. Our 23 and 12 wasted,

wasted a 12-point lead in the final seconds, but rallied to become the first number nine seed to be the number one since 2018 when Florida State shocked Xavier. The Hawkeyes will face the number four seed Nebraska Cornhuskers in the South Regional Semifinals on Thursday night in Houston. Joe, how were the Hawkeyes able to pull this off? Man, obviously, I've seen Florida big man. He only played 20 minutes. He basically, he had four weeks. files on he had four files so i know they got him in file trouble and man they were they were just tough they weren't going to back down they weren't going to bag down they kept themselves in closing range and at the end of the game man why why would you why would you take that gamble and let their

man get in front of you now you put your teammate in the huckle buck to where now he got to either take the ball or take the man in the corner yeah i said the same thing i don't know why you that hard because it's not like it's that's I mean nine seconds is a lot of time it's not like it's three seconds Joe it's nine seconds yeah and so you you run that risk and you you run and you give him the side so you don't got no cutoff point you don't got nobody that you could direct you to there's no interference so he's got a clear shot he's either going all way to the basket or he's going right I don't know what the uh boogie Flynn was thinking on that one But, hey, give a kudos to Iowa, man.

They play hard, discipline. And I always talk about the bigs that Florida got. And they once given them bigs and, hey, the hour was probably more physical than Florida. Okay, Ocho. Mm-hmm. Yeah. They shot 50% from the floor.

They didn't shoot. Neither team really shot well from the three-point line. Iowa was 29% of 7 to 24. And Florida was 6 of 19 for 32%. neither team was really good from the free throw line 64% for Iowa, 74% for Florida. But the thing is that when you're number one seed

and the longer you let the lower seed hang around, Lord forbid that Joe will get a lead and he in the second half. They really start to believe. They're like, oh, we can beat this team. Yeah, we can hang. Confidence. There might have been doubt in the beginning,

but you didn't remove that out. So now you got hell on your hand. Yeah. Go ahead, Ocho. And we're going to say, you know, the closer that game get in that second half, you know, asses get a little bit more title. You know, everybody gets a, everybody get a little bit more gunshot, you know. Hey, it's a different kind of pressure.

Listen, I've never been in that situation like that. I've never played basketball at this level to be, you know, in the tournament's magnitude. But I understand present situations and what it does to you. You know, you get a little bit nervous, you know. You've been in a pressure situation. You've had a big lead in Cincinnati and the team will have that. that ish down and you gotta go back out there because you don't wanna give that office the ball.

You know exactly what you mean. I know what you mean, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, absolutely. You know, hey, man, Carson telling you in Hoos, man, look, we can't give them the ball back. Hey, both hands on the football. Hey, get it, get down. We don't need no extra yards.

We don't need anybody to play hero. My, look, but my thing is for the Iowa and Florida game, like why don't you just keep your man in front, make him take a tough shot, I just didn't understand them pressing like that and then gambling the way that they did. I'm like, what they did? No, there was no need. If that guy hit a shot like the guy in Kentucky, Joe, I just put my hand.

You got to live with that. You live with a 40 foot bank shot. Live with that. But why would you risk it in that situation? Most guys can probably get from one end to the other, 94 feet. They can get down about three seconds. Yeah, easy. They can get down about three seconds.

three seconds. He's got nine. So now he, all he has to do is, hey, it was, hey, the way dude shot that, like he'd been making three. You hear me? Hey, uh, Otoe, because he could have took a dribbler or two and tried to get to the basket. That man said to you, like, you know what? We're going to home or we're going to the next round. Hey, one of the other. Ain't no great area about it,

I love it. I love it. It takes justice to shoot that type of shot, book. He's like, I'm going to all the, hey, I'm trimming all my chips to the middle of the table. You've been, like, son, damn, son, you had a couple of dribbles. You could have dribbled a couple and got a closer shot.

He's like, no, I want that. I want to make it as difficult as I possibly can on myself. Dude, dribble, like, nah, let me get this step back in. Man, that's a tough shot, Ojo. That's a tough shot.

That man took a dribble. He took a dribble like he was going in. I'm, I'm, man, step back for three for the game. Hey, that's my kind of guy. This much, man. That's what I'm talking. about. Man, he shot that thing like he was

Steff Curry. That was some Steph Curry. Hey, hey, look, you got the number one C. And we're going to overtime. They might pull, they might pull out on them. But if I go and shoot this dagon, yes. Hit it. Because you're not expected to win anyway.

So even if you lose, everybody's going to say, you play the tough game, that's the defending champs. They got X, Y, Z, they got NBA players on that roster. That's what people are going to say, hey, look, I know, and it doesn't do you any cons. it doesn't make you feel any better that you played a number one seed to the defending champ down the wire.

That'll make you feel any better. But it's not as much pressure. Now, Florida had that shot. That's pressure because now I'm the number one seed. I'm not even supposed to be. I'm not even supposed to be in this situation. Now that I think, now that I think about the Ocho and Joe,

I ain't even supposed to be here. Yeah. We're supposed to be up by 10 with like 20 seconds to go. and we get some guys in that don't normally play, we normally get them off the bench so they can feel what it's like to be in the March Madness. And here we are, we find ourselves in some bull-jah.

Oh, man, what Florida doing, bro? They don't messed up my bracket. I know who bracket they didn't mess up. You know what? I might hire Michael Buffers. You had them... You had them... You had them losing the hour?

I didn't have to go into the final four. Oh, hey, Joe had the boy going to the final four? Yeah, and you have Virginia going to the final four. Me? My elite eight and my final four bracket is still intact. Wait, what about mine? Mm-mm-mm. Because you have Virginia.

I ain't, I can't be that far behind, though. No, no, no, no, Joe, I'm just saying. You can't get no more points from four. Okay. My final four two weeks and my elite eight picks, they're still there. Okay. Okay. Hold on. So is my, I still, I could still get. Oh, Joe, you had Florida in the finals?

You, uh-huh. I had one. Florida in the finals? Man, I had their get back with Florida, boy. The way they did us during the season, I had some. Oh, so you, so it was a revenge matchup for you. You let your pride get you. Hey, hey, hey, he picking, he picking with his hard.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, it just would have been a perfect setup. Well, Florida made it. We make it. The racerbacks make it. and we get that get back. But now that Florida gone, we ain't even got to talk about them no more. We ain't got to talk about them no more. We talk about them raised back.

Oh, Joe, I don't know if you noticed this, but if you noticed what Joe did, he picked basically all this damn SEC teams to go as far as he can. Yeah, he did. He thinks he's leaked. He's talking about you picking mascot. Oh, that's Tennessee.

Oh, yeah. Let's put them in. Oh, that's Florida. Let's put them in. That's bad to be. I'm like, what damn. I'm looking at his breaking. I was like, well, damn.

Hey, well, Joe, Joe, in the back of the line. Now, there ain't no way. Ain't no way. Nah, he's still doing good. He must be thought this was football. He's doing it. But now, this was a good game. This is why you like March Madden's

because the underdog really does have a chance. We've seen it not only in March Madness, but we see it in the national championship game. We're seeing in the semifinals. We saw what Christian Labor did. We saw that heave that he, that they threw the ball to him and he gets the ball. and he, wow,

yeah. We saw that. I saw U.S. Reed, I think this was in probably 81, hit a half-court shot. Did you? It might have been Arkansas. Yeah, yeah, US replayed for Arkansas.

Yeah, it might have been Arkansas against Louisville or somebody. When the U.S. Reed hit that half-court shot and sent them on to the next round, that was really the first time that I had seen that understood what March Man was about.

Is that, you know, an underdog, Yeah. I think that what I think that was he beat they beat Louisville if I'm not mistaken. I think so. I think so I think it was after Louisville had won the national championship because Louisville won the national championship in 1980. Yeah. Not Louisville, excuse me, they beat UCLA.

Denny Crum was a Louisville coach and Larry Brown was, uh, was a, uh, was a, uh, which, which Larry Brown? Phillips, 76 is Larry Brown? Yes, yes. He coached UCLA and he coached. Kansas. Yeah. Yeah. That's,

U.S. Reed, Arkansas hit a half-court shot. Yeah. To beat Louisville in 81 because Louisville won the national championship in 1980. Yeah. And 81, Indiana won the national championship.

That's when they beat, that's when they beat UNC. Okay. The same year that was the assistant, uh, uh, Hinkley tried to assassinate, uh,

Ronald Reagan. Oh, and, and they thought about, they thought about calling the game, but they didn't. They played it on. So that was really the first time that I really understood

because I hadn't seen any buzzer beaters like that before. But man, I'm sorry, Joe. What's that, man? Your team may win. No, my team won. I'm raising. Okay. He raised.

Oh, as long as, Joe, you do realize you by going to throw your, and Arkansas all lose is over for you. We're not talking about. Don't even put that back. That's why I'd be talking to your an or choo about that, man. Y'all be, you, you, hey, hey, Joe, it's not juju. It's not a, Joe, you're superstitious? Yeah.

I don't know somebody from the South that's not superstitious. I mean, I'm not superstitious, I mean, whatever's to be. Let me ask you a question. Do y'all ever play the game, step on the crack, break your mama back? Back, nah, I remember that, I remember that, I remember that. Yeah, exactly. You ain't step on no crack. If somebody, you didn't walk between,

if there's a pole, both of you walk on the same side. Oh, I always go around. Yeah. Right, yeah, yeah, right. Yeah. Boy, by grab by, great, boy, don't you split. Right, right. Hey, hey, hey, I still do that and I don't know why.

I don't know why. You know what, I tell you what, I bet you ain't up broke, no, you ain't tried to break no mirror. You don't want that seven years bad luck. Oh, no, no, no, no. Hey, when y'all play, y'all ain't had no superstitious. like some good luck socks or yeah yeah yeah yeah oh yeah oh yeah same thing you know uh they did

the same thing i had three blueberry cake donuts i had uh two uh three packs of big red gum i had four ad bill i mean tile it all sitting in my lock yeah absolutely socks folded they put me give me lima socks oh chok uh you know it's limin socks six six six eight i go back and get running back socks because they come a little lower so yeah put those socks in i would get those socks, take them back to the equipment manager. He gave me the running back socks. I put those in. Yeah.

I'll get ready. Yeah. Get tape twice. Get tape once, medium tape. And then when I come back in to go out for the game, I get that mold skin. I get that thing on my skin. Hey, hey, that mold skin, they don't know nothing about that bones skin. Boy, if you twist your ankle with mold skin, you don't broke your is.

That bow skin lock your ear. Man, hey, hey, you ain't ripping that like no time. They got cut. That was soozles. Yes, sir. I don't know how you use that tape, boy. Man, I don't know how bad. I told you, Ocho, I'll be looking at these guys now.

I look at Devonte Adams. I look at Tyreek and I look at all these kids that don't wear no tape. They wear ankle socks. Yeah. With no support, no support. Nothing. My ankle start hurting looking at them.

Yeah. I'm like, well, damn, I ain't even playing. I start rubbing, I start rubbing my ankles. Hey, Joe, you, Joe, you take your ankles. Yeah, I had to, Ocho. I had a while to stop. been going cutting lateral move. Right.

I hadn't. I couldn't do it, Joe. I couldn't do it. Now, there'd be some pictures. You'll see me. I have spat on my shoes. But I'm doing that as for style.

You want to look good. Yeah, but outside of that, if you see me with a regular cleats on, you can access you to the shoe, because I got in trouble with Reebok, they say you got to stop spatting your shoe because we want the look.

We want the logo to show. Yeah. I stop spatim. I stop spat them. him, Joe, I can't, I have to feel the floor. And then I had them take all the, all the, all the, all the, all the, all the, all the, all the, all the, all the, all the, so if I, if I showed you my football cleat, I could take it and bend it and bend it and half. So I need, I need, I need my, Joe, I need him a shoe to feel like a track shoe. I need to feel the flow.

You must, hey, you must, you must want to, you weren't playing on getting touched when you were out there. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, not. Them feet, but I don't play with them. I don't know how he did. He didn't either. I remember in college, we went out there to practice one day. Yeah.

Man, we saw Pee and State that all the boys had that spat on. Yeah. He'll say, hell no, home, cut that issue off. Man, we try to be like P. Because you know, P.N. State, all they were, they were, like, black and white, and they had them shoes spatting. Yeah.

Boy, that thing, the boy, the boy was looking good. Coach there was a hell, no, home, cut that is ya off, cut it off. I'm like that. I'm like, we already got it on. That little spread is right. Hold on, y'all. You can't, y'all came by there with that spat on up. Yeah, we came by there, Spat.

Cause, you know, we didn't see, Hey, we just saw, we don't saw P.N. Hey, hey, they say if you ain't spad it up, boy, you ain't talking about nothing out there. Nah, oh, boy, hey, spat was, but we, I mean, we didn't have it like that. I mean, we ended up having it because we run out a pre-wrap, Ocho probably like week seven,

we gotta steal toilet paper. Man, sure. Yeah, he told me have Ocho, man. We still have a pre-rap. We don't stole a pre-wrap out the girls' dorm. We don't stole about the bathroom at the hall. Yeah, yeah.

Because we're out of pre-wrap. I remember my rookie year in Denver, Ocho. You know how they do, Ocho. Once you get down to like, they don't go all the way down to the rind or the tape. It might be a quarter of a roll or tape still. I say, Greek, would you mind if you know all the tape that y'all don't reuse in the pre-wrap?

Can you throw it in the box? Man, I ship like two or three, four boxes to Savannah State. Yeah, so they have something? Yeah. Because you don't, come on, Ocho, Gatorade, all that kind of stuff. Man, come on, man. They just be weird-ish.

Yeah, they do. They do. Yeah, they get drunk. Pull it out. We drink it at the bar. You don't have to pull nothing out. But they don't make Gatorade like that. Oh, Joe, you remember you had that water,

and they pulled the powder in there. Oh, yeah. And mix it together. Yeah. That's what we used to have. That powder? Yeah. You don't drink it all?

It'll be right there for you tomorrow. Yeah, they don't do it. St. John's. Uh-oh. My team beat Kansas 67-65, despite shooting 36% from the field and nearly coughing up a 14-point lead that Johnny's did. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared.

in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event

called Wagageddon change the paddock forever. That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guests and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap, scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up? I'm Miles Turner.

I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble for this answer,

but I think it's, like, definitely happening in the WBA. And, yeah, we talk about our mistakes, too. They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man, you can't be rolling around the city like this tonight before games, no, you know, doing this, doing whatever. And of course, family stories. And we're like, Mommy, why did you miss that? Mommy, do you play basketball?

into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice?

you give people right now. It's to value time to be cognizant of time and how important time is because once the time is up, it's up, and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that push us to grow. And the common denominator is that we have the same people

with us since like 30, 40 years ago, right? Like, we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around. Plus, the door always stays open for a third amigo to pull up a chair. Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the Michael Duda Podcast Network. available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Stuff to survive, thanks to Dylan Darling's buzzer-beater. Bryce Hopkins scored 18, added seven rebounds,

and most importantly drained a season high six of his nine three-point attempts. St. John's defense also shut down Kansas for most of the game, fourthing to Jayhawks and the 16 perinovers. The St. Johns, they head to the Sweet 16 to take on the number one overall seed, Duke Blue Devils. Yeah. Hey, Unk and Joe, that last shot, right? That buzzer beat off the glass, right?

You hear me? Why he didn't, I mean, why not send him to the foul line and make him make both them shots as opposed to just let him, let him wall you off? And he's a smaller, he's a smaller, he's a smaller person. No, you ain't want nobody to go to the free throw line with no time on the clock, because all he got to do is make one.

Hey, no, hell not. I'm going to make him. I rather, I'd rather, I'd rather put young bull in that press situation as opposed to just let him hit the goddamn shot at the end of the game. That was, but you do realize, Ocho, at that point, he hadn't scored a point the whole game. Right. He hadn't scored a point. That's like some, that's like Carson throwing somebody the game winning touchdown and he ain't

caught a pass the whole day. All game. Okay. And so, I mean, if what's being, if what Coach Patino said, he asked him what he wanted and he wanted power, which means he wanted to. ball in his hand. Yeah. Coach Potato's looking at him like, bro, you got zero points.

Yeah. And you with the game on the line, okay, go get, go get it. Hey, man. And you got big, you got the big, you got the, uh, Carver's player of the year on your roster. Edge of four. Edge of four. I wonder if he any, uh, any can to Chewy tail.

Hey, they, eh, that big boy beats down there too. Man, I do, man, do you see how big he? Do look, he about six, nine, by two 80. He is six nine. about six-nine. I mean, listen, you're saying, you're saying,

got some dogs over there. Yeah, he was balling, man. Hey, look, I ain't even just talking about the ball. I'm talking about the defense they played. The intensity. They were played early on.

They were, oh, they were, how many times did they force him to turn, throw the ball out of bounds, Joe, on the airbound? Hey, it's one thing about great coaches, bro, they're going to have their teams ready to play.

Get Rick Petino's some credit because them boys came out with it on their mind. I'm talking about they busting through screens. You can't even screen do. They bustling through screens, cutting their man out. Defensively, they, oh, man, they locked in. Oh, they were so locked in. Ooh, they got out of them boys, man.

Hey, buddy, buddy hit that shot. He made the lay up right, right at the buzzer. And the camera pan, right to coach, well, he ain't showed no kind of emotion. It's like, okay, he didn't have done that, man. Rick Patino. Just another day. Just another day.

Ocho, he, he didn't been that done that, bro. Yeah. He hasn't been a lot of stuff. You got to think about it. He'd had this at Providence. I think he took Providence to the final four when he had Billy Donovan. Yeah.

Yeah. He won the national championship with Kentucky. He won the national championship with Louisville. I think he went to Iona. I think he went to Iona after he kind of got in the club. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, had to reinvent himself in Iona, come back to St. John.

Now, back in the 80s, St. John's had a stick. When they had Walter Berry, they had Chris Mullen. Chris Mullen. Lefty. Boy, they had a stick. Coach Carnacek with those sweaters. The Big, the Big East was it. Big John, Coach Thompson,

Coach Lou, Jim Beehine. Boy, they had a stick. Yeah, they had it on a lot. And Coach Wally Massimito and Villanova. Because if I'm not mistaken, I think one year they got all, they got three of their 14, three of them was in the bottom four.

Because Villanova might have been 85 because Villanova ended up beating, it might have been 84-85, because Villanova ended up beating Georgetown down when they shot that ridiculous number from the field. This is like they couldn't miss. Ed Pinkney went crazy. That's when they had,

I think they had Gary McClellan. I think they had Gary McLean. But man, it was, yeah, Villanova Ed Pinkney. But boy, St.

Johns did it. But I was like, bro, I'm watching this and I'm like, Joe, I'm feeling good. We are 14 under five, man.

I'm like, I'm feeling good. I'm like, yeah, we got this one. Man, I look up. I say,

Todd. I said, come on, St. John. What did you think? I just knew we had this. What did you think about this potential number one pick, Darren Peterson? Oh, look, he can play. But I think people are going to look, you know, pull himself out of the games, be it, you know,

where there's cramps, his injuries or whatever the case may be. I think they're looking because when I look at DeBonza, I'm looking at the guy that's six foot nine. that already, that has an NBA body right now as we speak. Yeah. And he doesn't have the issues. Give me, giving a choice,

oh, because I'm going to entrust you to lead my team. Right. I'm going to entrust you with 40, 50, 60, 70 million dollars. And then hopefully I'll give you another, I'm going to give you in three, four years. I'm going to give you $200 million. I'm taking the bonds.

That's just. He got, he, he, uh, He, uh, uh, Dan Peterson is a great talent. He, I think he will be a top three pick. I do, yeah. And I think, uh, in, in some form, when he get to the pros, okay, Ocho, they'll teach him, teach him more on how to take care his body, what he should put in, you know, and things of that sort.

So they don't necessarily wear me. I just want to know, does he really love the game? Does he really love competing? That's all I want to know, man. Because if you, yep. Hey, but Joe, you got to think about it, Joe. as good as Peterson is, right? Yes.

You know, despite the, storming during the season, taking itself out, cramping up, whatever it may be, you've got to love the game to get as good as he is. You have to love it, especially when to come to competing, especially at this level, you know, you're playing college ball

and you regard it as one of the better players in the entirety of college basketball. That ain't no mistake, Joe. That ain't no accident. So, in order to- Sometimes, Ocho, you can have such God-given ability, and we've seen I've seen guys that I don't they don't love it they just good at it and I can make an honest live yeah because at the end of the day Ojo in college you're playing 30 32 games when you get to the pro is

bro 82 games it's a lot and I'm telling you something they probably two and a half they already talk about the rookie wall like it's a lot bro I know they do the low management and all that but man mentally physically emotionally it takes a lot on your body bro and not everybody can handle that Yeah. You know what the funny thing is too, you know what I was going to say too. Remember what you just said most of the time what happens when players or people are

blessed by God and they don't do to work? You know, you get exposed at some point anyway. Yeah. You get exposed. Especially once you get to that next level. Yeah. Once he get to the NBA, if you don't love the game and put the working like you got to,

you ain't going to be that long. No. It's real tough. Yes. It's too. Because you got to realize, like in high school, you're like, okay, there's a good. But when you get to college, a lot of those guys were all state players. All those guys were all region, all county players.

And as you keep moving up, guess what? There were a lot of, okay, you were a college player a year. But guess what, on your own team, you might have had five college players. Right, right, right, right. The husband trophy winner, Buckas, Benar it, Thorpe, Belitnikov. Okay. If you don't put that work in, because look, everybody at the next level,

regardless of what you, where you, how acclaimed you are, everybody at the next level can make you look foolish in a human game. Yeah. A guy that you're like, I ain't never heard of this guy before. Well, light your blood up.

Yeah. Yeah. So if you don't go out there and be prepared, now you look, man, he ain't no good. No, no, he's good. Yeah, yeah. Oh, boy. Oh boy, just handed it to her.

Hey, you know what Sherm said? Sherman said, man, I went out there. I ain't really know a whole lot about Stevie Johnson. Man, by 10 catches 165 yards later, I knew a lot about Stevie Johnson. Hey. Hey, boy, Stevie, the real deal, boy. Yeah. And so, and that's the thing.

And plus, Ocho, you got to realize that once you get to the pros, ain't nobody telling you what to do. They don't tell you, they don't check and see if you go to study hall. They don't check and see if you go to clans. They don't check and see if you're working out. That's all you. So, yeah. That's all you.

So now if you don't, see what happens when you don't love something? Now all of a sudden, that dips. Yeah. Look at the guys that love it. Yeah. And people are like, well, well, Yolch, he care about horses. Look at Yolich on the sideline when things ain't going his way. And you tell me he don't love it.

He's yelling, he's trying to draw stuff up. Yes, absolutely. You got to be that great for an extended period of time. It ain't nothing to burst on the team. Oh, Chow, how many guys we don't see make the Pro Bowl one year and we never hear from them again? Yeah. It's easy to make it one time,

but when you make the Pro Bowl, you make all pro, guess what? The opposing team's going to start games for your ass. Now let's see it when they know what you're doing. Yeah. You the best receiver. Now you get our best cornerback. Now you get our undivided attention.

And now you get cover just called to stop your punk. Yeah. Yeah. Joe, you get the defense. They coming. Oh, we're going to trap Joe. We're going to bliss Joe. Hey, y'all head is that.

You show. Hey, don't let, hey, he want to run that pick and roll. He's going to try to pin you day. Don't let Joe come on that pin down. Yeah. See, I know Joe love that pin down now. Hey, let me get a little separation. All I need is a little crees, Ocho, that thing.

Hey, Jay, Jay. Just a little space, Joe. They can't, Joe. Yeah. Hey, hey, the hardest part about any sports you play at the highest level is about consistency. Thank you. It's hard. It's hard to be consistent.

And the better you are, the better you are what you do, the more disciplined you've got to have, Joe. Especially when you come to your craft, right? Man, what I find to be the toughest when you turn pro is showing up, you know, you got to show up every day. even on days, you don't even feel like it, Uncle Ocho. You know what I mean? Not only do you got to show up, but you got to come ready to compete and play. And that's why I say, you know,

through a six to eight months season, bro, you're not going to wake up every day and want to go out there and compete and want to play or want to go to practice. But you have to, this is part of it. You know, and the ones that love it, they look forward to that. You know what I mean?

So that's my biggest concern. I did. Man, I look forward to go. Man, I wanted to see the guys, because I don't work on some new materials and jokes. So I can't, I couldn't wait to get to the locker room. Yeah. The bus rides, being on that bus ride, Ocho, you know, hey, Joe, I don't know how y'all did it.

But you know, everybody, man, Sean, what bus you get on? I'm getting on. Yeah. I'm getting on bus too. Don't get on bus one because that's what the head coach is. That's what I'm owning his wife every day. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Man, we got coaches. The coaches try to get on bus too because they know we're going to have a rocking going to the thing. And don't let us win. I'm, boy, I'm Dave Chappelle. I'm Dave, oh, I am Dave Chappelle.

Even when the coaches, the coach is coming back here with what you got going on back here. Don't worry about what we got going on back here. We got, y'all already know we got some boojib going on back here. Hey, man, you appreciate, you appreciate great teammates, bro. I'll tell you, I tell you all one guy that really stick out to me when I was in my young career, like, second, third of year, Bo Outlaw. I played with Bo Outlaw. Okay.

Hey, I remember Bo. Hey, man, man, Bo, he's just kicking. I'm talking about off the court in there day. But every day, Uncle Ocho, he showed up the same way, the same happy smile, cracking jokes, having a good time. I'm talking about it wasn't a day he showed up. And he was pissed out. I'm like, man, how this man, he first went in the wait room,

getting it, you know what I mean? Like, he was just a hardworking dude. And I learned so much from him. But he was a super cool dude, man. Me and Bo really, we got some real stories, boy. Bo kick it, boy. because think about it your whole life,

Ocho, you grew up, you and Joe, we all kind of grew up very, very similar situation. Yeah. Your whole life you dream in this situation. God bless you with talent

and put you in this situation. How could you not? That's what I don't get. How could you not? Everything you had asked for, Lord, please just let me be good enough. Let me be talented enough to make it to college.

Let me make it to a kid. Tadda, here we are. And now all of a sudden you get lazy because you hear, the easy part is getting there. The hard part is staying there. So who is she here? Well, getting there not easy either then. No.

You think about it. It's easy to get there and stay than to get there, get out and try to get your ass back in. Back in, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What they say when you leave a sporting event? No re-entries. That's the same with sports. You get your ass out of these hands out.

It's hard as hell to get back in. Unless you got a homeboy working to let your ass in the side dope. Yeah, I'm like, bro, man, hey, couldn't tell, hey, I couldn't wait to work out because I've always been the guy. I love to work out. So I was a guy that once I was done with football,

now there's some people that look, they look at it like, I play a sport, I work out because I have to play a sport. Once I'm done with sports, I ain't working on anymore. Damn that. That was the opposite of me. Right. I'm like, man, y'all, I like, I like to work out.

That's why people that they really like that really like to work out. They don't give them them half a million, $7.50 million bonuses, Ocho, to do off-season conditioning. They get them the guys that don't really care about it because we got to encourage them to work out. You got to incentivize. Me, they want to give me $50 a day. No, I'm good.

I don't work my last $50 a job, bro. I don't work that. I work my last $50 day a job when I live in the Hill, Georgia. Ain't no more $50 dollars a job with me. Hey, hey, hey, you say, You love to work out, but hey, me too. I was the same way, Uncle. I like to look good in the summer too.

Hey, okay, Joe. Hey, I hit the beach, Ocho, you know, come off. I got that eight-pack jumper. You hear me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like to stay in shape now. Yeah, I was one now. Yeah.

Yeah. Man, let's come on out, Ocho. How do you go? I mean, do we got them guys, they shot with a t-shirt on? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, come on, man. I'm we in college.

He got like, bro, you ain't getting clean. How you getting clean? This joke is scrubbing his, he got a t-shirt on. Yeah, he's terrific. How you get, he watching, bro, how are you getting clean with a t-shirt on? Oh, bad. And then you know, you know,

like, damn, you know, you want your lady, like, okay, okay, you know what, I see you? You don't want your lady to get up there in the broad day, like, pull the shade down. I don't know. I don't look at that. Come on, I can't, hey, Joe, I can't help but work out too, boy. I don't know what it is.

If you don't work out, you can be 150. Say it again? You're going to be 150. Exactly. Hey, but it's therapy, though. Hey, Joe. Huh? Yeah, Joe, I don't understand.

When I don't lift no weight, Joe, I get small. Like, I get skinny. I wish, I don't know at what point, you know, I would hit the age where when I don't work out, I actually gain weight. You know what I mean? I look at all my other homies that play, you know, don't nobody lift. Everybody, a little healthy now. You know, they got little balls.

They look like they played tight in the offensive line. Yeah. Yeah. They got a little stomach. They got a little stomach. Linebackers. Linebacker looked like D-Lylin. Hey, I can't, I can't.

I don't know where age is going to hit me on, but I'm waiting. It's body types, Ocho. You probably just got that body type of high metabolism. He don't, he don't got that body type that's going to put on. Yeah, you like, boy, I'm telling you, Ojo, if I don't do nothing for a week or two, I ain't got no. Well, I ain't got no problem gain, no weight now. Man, that's why I had to stay.

I had to stay on myself, man. I can't be playing. Yeah, see. Do you know how much weight you can put on a six, nine frame, Motto? Joe, you eat a lot, huh? Nah. Hell no.

Damn. Man, Joe be faster. Joe be, you know, Joe in that yoga, that heated yoga, so Joe probably eat like two meals a day. Okay, okay. Yeah, not even, I'll eat one nice, big ones, like full of good proteins, greens, little carbs. Yeah I mean?

I eat four five times a day. I can't. Hey, your meals be small, though, aren't you? Yeah, I eat about each meal probably about 500 to 700,

750 calories. See, I don't, I don't know I do all that calories. I was trying to keep that. He's trying to keep that. He's trying to keep that. Yeah,

yeah, yeah. I already know. I still, I don't like to care of, I like to care of around. Yeah. Oh,

don't you know? Hey, yeah, yeah. Hey, oh, hey, I'm about 200 right now, Joe, but. No, you ain't enough. I'm 200.

I'm 200. Nah, I'm too hundred. You saw I big I was when I took my shirt off the day. Hey, Joe, I got a little size of me right now. They say what you look like. You look like one of them little walls, though, because the little legs you got, the little bit.

Nah, not, be a little, but my leg. You got to look like Johnny Bravo. Nah, hey, hey, hey. Hey, Joe, you remember Brian Horny on fat out. Hey, hey, you got an, hey, Joe, I'm a gazelle, Joe. You know, ain't, hey, you, hey, you, when you watch the Kentucky, You can't see Nair horse with big legs.

No, no, no, no. You don't see a horse with big ankles. Oh, yeah. Clisdale's got big ankles. Belgium's have big ankles. Yeah. Shires have big ankles. Those are willing horses. Yes, uh.

Race horses, that's why they fracture so easily. Because you're asking about 1,000, 1,300 pound animal to run on ankles to size of a human. And run 35, 40, 45,000, an hour. Yeah. Yeah. That's me. That's me.

That's me. I'm a green hound. I'm a greyhound. Hey, Joe, I'm a gazelle, Joe. Hey, I gotta stay right, Ocho. You know, I mean, you know, I still do squads or even though my knee. What? Yeah.

Oh, I never did a squat, boy. I can tell. Oh, no, oh, no, Joe. How you keep your legs on your leg, press or nothing? Nah, no, Joe. He can't pick nothing up. He can't pick it, he can't pick, uh, Cambodia,

Cambodia probably pick him up. Joe, I didn't do no squats, Joe. I mean, there are other exercise you could do to implement to get to work the same areas, but put that goddamn rack on my back. Oh, they got machines, oh, Joe. Huh? They got machines.

They go around your waist. Yeah, they got, they got the belt squat. They got pendulum squat. I'm talking about when I was playing. I'm playing. I didn't have all. I didn't do no squats either when I play. Oh, okay, okay.

What about now? Well, I'm not playing with that. Yeah, I do them now, yeah. All my work is heel and band work, Joe. And healing band work, Joe. Yeah, I miss what they're here. They're here. They're here.

Man, hey, Joe, I can fly right now. Yeah. You hear me? May I tell you no, I ain't going to play? We had the scrimmings the other day. We had 11 v. 11 scrimmns on the field. And I'm talking to talk about soccer. Obviously, I played the nine.

I play the striker. So the striker would, I'm trying to think in basketball terms, it really wouldn't be the point because I don't get the ball much but it's all about You're on the wing No no not the wing not the wing In the center in the center in the center

I'm in the center I'm in the center I'm in the center like in the center That's the nine position So it's like almost like a center And basketball damn near So the wings at time They facilitate to me

At time but it's all about me Being able to find and create space And the point guard would be the center mid You know so but either way I just played 90 minute Joe Running up and down I had maybe one or two, three, two balls. Joe, I was out there flying, Joe.

Oh, my goodness, I was out there flying, boy. I ain't, I was like, you know what? The B-58, boy, I still got it. I don't know. So how you're going to get you, when you get mad, how are you going to carry through the threshold? Carry who? Cambodia.

Oh, man, like this. Oh, man. Like this. Hey, Joe, you see me do 225 with ease like this, like nothing. But you got to realize, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. You got dead weight like this. Oh, that's easy. Unk, I don't mean to be rude.

I know, listen, I don't mean to be rude, Joe, right? I'm listening. Joe, what Unk don't understand is in the past, I only dated BBWs. So if you want 200 a better, I ain't, I ain't really playing with you. You know, because that's what I was attracted to, Unk. BBW's pretty face, pretty feet. I mean, man, that's a joke, that's what I met. And you know, one of my go-to movie, Joe?

Remember baby boy? Remember how Vinne Rames had Tyrese mom in the kitchen? No! What we're talking about? Hey, Joe, we like this. Hey, Joe, we'll be talking about, Joe. Not the baby boy. You're with me.

Hey, Joe, some of 220, 2.30. Ooh. I think you look, if you notice, a lot of times, Big women like skinny men. Big men like skinny women. Hey. Yeah. But who you telling?

Yeah. I know I ain't go, man. I know how I'd go. Yeah. But see, Ocho, what I said, that people, oh, man. Bro, if you look, if you look at women,

look at discus throars. Yes, sir. Look at shot putters. Look at volleyball players. What you think, how much you think those women be weighing? They don't weigh. The average woman weigh about,

is five, four, way about a hundred. That is the average woman. Right. So you start getting a woman that's 58, 59, 511, 6 foot. How much do you think she weigh? She ain't doing something for Vogue or Victoria's Secret. How much you think she wait? Right, right.

Man, y'all better get out of here. Y'all better work up to the real world. Because I promise you, the lady that y'all probably wit, she don't weigh no 130. What's it where? Probably one. The average, the average woman, when you project all women, right, average height for a woman is five four. The average weight is about 170.

That got to be it. I didn't look left or right.

Yep. Look good to me. But they, day, day I love right. Yeah. Hey, Ocho told me to check the ankles. I did just what my partner told me to do. Oh, shit. Hey, boy.

But, no, but that's the thing. I don't know why these people have these ideas in their head. They see these women and they think, no, no. It's not like that. These women today, they're not built like these. They ain't built like these women like with. You hear me? You hear me?

on IHeart Radio stations across America and the free IHeart app. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year?

He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day, is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions

I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap, scandals, and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. podcasts. What's up? I'm Miles Turner. And I'm Brianna Stewart. And our podcast, Game Recognized Game has never been done before. Two active players giving you a real look at our lives and what we actually think on and off the court. Nothing's off limits. We talk trade requests. What's the vibe of that when it's like your star player is like, well, I want to leave and then actually now I'm going to stay. We talk tanking. I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's like definitely happening. the WBA.

And yeah, we talk about our mistakes, too. They pulled me to their side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man. You can't be rolling around the city like this tonight before games, no, you know, doing this, doing whatever. And of course, family stories. They'll be like, Mommy, why did you miss that? Mommy, do you play basketball?

Check out Game Recognized game with Stuy and Miles on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Wilmer Valderrama. And this is Freddie Rodriguez. Welcome back to Dos Amigos. Dos Amigos Season 2, baby! This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between.

Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy, where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice you give people right now? It's to value time, to be cognizant of time, and how important. time is because once the time is up, it's up, and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that push us to grow. And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since like 30, 40 years ago, right? Like, we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around.

Plus, the door always stays open for a third Amigo to pull up a chair. Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the Michael Duda Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. We take the league with about two minutes left, but clutch free throws and shooting allow the volunteers to hold on. Virginia freshman. DeRitter did everything he could, scoring a game high 22 points.

He's the first Cavalier player with at least 20 points and five rebounds in an NCAA tournament game since DeAndre Hunter in 2019 championship. Tennessee's 16 opponent, Iowa State. Woo! That's going to be a good game. Who got Iowa State advancing? You do? I do.

Me too. I'll probably pick Tennessee here. I show hope you did. You did, Joe. You did? No, I mean, who did the Iowa State just played? They just beat somebody. They beat the brakes off somebody.

Oh, Texas Tech. Was it Texas Tech? Yeah. No, no, no. Alabama just played Texas Tech. Kentucky. Kentucky. They beat Kentucky.

Kentucky. Yeah, but, I know I had Iowa State beating them. I will say the two seed. But you, hey, but you like, what you call them? You like SEC. Yeah, I know, but I didn't pick with my heart on that one. Damn. Man, they killed Kentucky, man.

They blew them out. Yeah, beat them by 19. I was surprised, Virginia. I mean, Tennessee did an outstanding job. They shot 39% from the field, 34% from the three-point line, 55% percent. First of all, when you only get to the free throw line 11 times,

Joe, you got to be down there 90 to 100%. Because the other team got to the free throw line 25 times and they made 19 of them. So they already, they got a plus 13 just at the line. Damn. Yeah, I don't know. Tennessee good, though. Okay, Ocho, they ain't, there ain't no slouches.

No. I know they, I mean, I don't. 24 and 11. They got some guys who can play, man. They got some guys who can play. Yeah. Virginia just had an off night. Low scoring, 72 points.

The good teams, bro, they're up in the 80s. The high 80. You got to. But you know, Virginia run that in Bennett. They don't get up and down like that. No. They're not trying to get up and down, and they don't want you to get up and down.

Yeah, Tennessee. Tennessee looked good, though. They look good. They have a lot of guys play well. I don't need them to look good against Iowa State. Iowa State looked good, boy. Yeah, they did. Yeah, they absolutely look good.

So hopefully they can keep that going. That'd be real nice. I should appreciate that. There you go. Here you go. One, two, three, four. I mean, Tennessee had five guys with all the figures. Yeah.

Tennessee getting it done, man. They represent the SEC. Yeah. Because you got what, you got a, y'all ain't got that many that's still in there though. Y'all got Tennessee

and y'all got Arkansas. Who else y'all got? I think that's it, Joe. Alabama, yeah. So y'all got three because Vandy's gone. Kentucky's gone. Yeah.

That's all right. We got the winning team too. Yeah. Okay. I was standing. State B Kentucky, 82 to 63. After a rough start to start the game, Iowa, finally got shots falling in the second half.

Kentucky was turning the ball over. The Wildcats committed 20 turnovers. They're most in an NCAA tournament game since 1993. And even though Cyclones didn't have senior forward Joshua Jefferson because of a sprained ankle to Millepsy, 26 points. Milan Milosovich, 20 points picked up the slack

to push them back to the Sweet 16. I will state sweet 16 opponent, the balls. Man, okay, I like Fred Horberg. I like their coach. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, he, uh,

see, like, no, no, Fred Horiburg, he's not there. He ain't at Iowa State? No, I think he had Nebraska. Isn't Horiburg in Nebraska? Oh, no, man.

He used to be at, he's at Nebraska, right? Yeah, he's in Nebraska. He used to be at Iowa State. Oh, who coach, who coach Iowa State? I guess I was just, I ain't got no sound on.

I know I had just watched him on, uh, doing the interview. I thought that was for Iowa State. Hey, Joe, and there's a, I remember I went to visit my daughter during, right before Trax scene started at University of Kentucky. I got to meet some of the players

at University of Kentucky, and there's one that they said, who was a lottery pick, right? But he tore his ACL. I'm not sure if he's healthy or not. I can't remember his name, but he was supposed to be a lottery pick, and he played at Arizona State. I think it was YUMBORM.

Oh, yeah, yeah, big dude. Yeah, you know what you're talking about? I can't remember his last name, and I'm not sure if he's all the way healthy yet and if he played in the tournament. But they said, they said he was that boy. So I was looking forward to watching him play, but I'm not sure if he's back.

Hey, listen. It's Iowa State. Oh, okay. Hey, listen, this ain't, this ain't good for Kentucky. Okay, oh, sure, they probably got the highest paid NIL in all of college basketball. They do. They spent the most money, I think.

I think like $22 million or something. Yep. Whoa. I'm saying amongst their players, I think they got a couple guys making some good money. That's what I'm saying. In the Luce 20. Okay.

Kentucky reported the guys that you talked about, Ocho, $2 million to transfer. Okay. 20 points all season. So he's been hurt all, he's been hurt all season. Yeah. Yeah, he said, hey, Joe, they supposed he said it was a lottery pick

when I went to, when I went to visit, I had a chance to meet him real tall, dude. He got it. I had to go, I had to go watch his highlights at Arizona State. I was like, oh my goodness. He got like some big hair or something like. Yeah, like LeBraid.

Yeah, no, I seen him play, Ocho. He's a dog down now. But I ain't know he tore his ACL though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was recovering from something. What the thing was is that that that's why they got, you know, Cal ended up leaving because of the expectation. Kentucky. That's blue blood.

Right. There are certain teams that you just have with the expectations. Kentucky and Duke and North Carolina, they have expectations. And it's kind of like Alabama, what Alabama is running into, you know, the standard is so high. Yeah. Bro, you got to get, you got to get, bro, you can't keep losing in the first round. And before you get to the sweet sea, bro, you can't lose like that.

No, they don't want to see that. They couldn't. No. And you get, and you get in the players that you're getting? Right. Think about it. And I'm not saying that it's easy. But when you get five-star at the five-star,

you loaded your 12-man roster, seven, eight of five stars, and they're going number one. You got five players going in the first round. You got Devin Booking guys like that coming off your bench and Jamal Murray. Bro, I'm sorry. The fans are not going to be patient.

Because they die hard in Kentucky, and they travel. They try. What? They travel. Yes. Hey, but, hey, that's not fair. We talk about that, we talk about that all the time, too, Joe.

When we talk about, you know, the product that's on the court is really not a reflection of the goddamn coach. I mean, I can only do so much with the product I got on the court. He recruited them. He recruited that what's on the court. And fair, that's where you go ride the mayor go round. You can get candid apples. Yeah, you can bar, you can bar for apples. Right, right, right, right.

And you can see clowns. Nah, I don't know about no fair. You also judge pigs there. I just thought somebody sold a cow for a million dollars. somebody saw the pig for 500,000. I saw that. You saw that? Yeah, that's the fair.

Yeah. So them fans, them boosters and alumni that gave 20 plus million dollars, they didn't try to hear about this same man. No, sir. Kentucky used to be premier. Like, when I was coming up, when Rick Petino was in Kentucky, Uncle Cho, that man was winning championships, SEC championship, like, yeah.

You go, because you go from Rick Petit. you know the tubby. Yeah. Rick won and then Toby turned around and one. Because I think, I think Rick won in 96 and I think tubby won in 98, because they were very close. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. And so, and look at the players that they were having coming through there, man. Mm-hmm. Your Antoine Walker's, your Jamal Mashburns. Big, big Anderson, your run, Mercer's. Yeah. Tony Delks, they had a man, look.

They kept a will. And then you got Shay, you got Maher, you got book, you got cat, you got AD and we ain't got but one championship out of all of that John Wall, Boogie Cousers, and we got

one Ocho out of all of that. That's how hard it is to win though in college, man. It ain't easy just because you put all this talent together. Don't do not necessarily mean that it's going to lead to a championship. It's going to take great coaching with that great talent. You're going to have to

to mesh it together and make it work. You know what I mean? Like a lot of these coaches, Uncle Ocho, they ain't really coaching like that. You know what I mean? But you got some great coaches out here who know how to coach, great talent. A lot of times, if you go back and study it,

I think AD, A, D1, freshman led, I think maybe Duke. But for the most part, it's upperclassmen. It's junior, seniors, graduates. Guys that's played together. I mean, like Joe said, them guys coming in for one year. You already know what they're here for. They want to done.

Starting January 1st, I ain't going to no class, though, Joe. I'm done. And you think that makes it difficult to win also, Unk, when there's no continuity and some of the best players they're coming in one year and they're leaving? And not only do it make it tough on your continuity, but it don't necessarily always, they don't necessarily always turn out to be great pros

because you had to learn anything. You came from high school. You've been in college for six months, bro. You played the season. Hopefully you got some great toolage from, you know, coaches or whatever. But once you go to the pros, it's totally different. And you get there and don't really know nothing

and think it's about you, you, you, and you don't know how to sacrifice and compromise your game to be able to fit in for the team. Well, you get lost real quick. I mean, it's going to be, it's going to be unbelievable if Duke win the national championship. Because think about it, in the last six years,

They've had three number one overall picks. Zion, Paulo Ben Carroll, Cooper Flack. Yeah. They had R.J. Barrett. Moncaro. They had Cam Reddish. They got Conquinepple. They had Josh Johnson.

Look at all the first round. I mean, high picks. I ain't talking about no, no, no bottom to 25 to 30. And then the second round, they got high, high draft picks. Yeah. Man, that ain't easy, bro. It ain't easy. But when the coach is making the kind of money,

making and when they put in that kind of money, when the boost is an alumni putting that kind of money in there. Right. Hey, I told you, it's like the NFL. When they put, when the, hey, general manager got to go. Head coach got to go. Bro, you see our salary cap? We're at the top of the salary cap.

You say this is what we need. We don't spend $300 million in free agency in contracts. And we still at the bottom of the division. Nah, you got to go, bro. You got to get up out here. That's how I go. Yeah, for sure. Yukon.

Number two, Yukon, the Huskies, beat the Bruins, 7357. The wheel started to fall off at UCLA with a little more than five minutes remaining as Yukon used the 9-0 run to turn a four-point lead into a 13-point cushion. The Huskies outrebounded them, 36-24, outscored the Bruins in the paint,

30 to 20. Yukon's sweet 16 opponent, the spotins of Michigan State. Michigan State. Both two guys, that coaches, they love to play defense. Yeah. Dom Izzo, Dan Hurney,

his Friday sales, I'm getting up into you and playing de. There's going to be a game, no, boy. Only thing on, like, you can't guard playing like that. Michigan State, they guard players superb with little fears at the point guard for Michigan State. But, uh, yeah.

You, man, Caraband had it going today, though. I know, that's what I'm saying. They got some wings. They got some shooters now. But man, this is just hard. You look at their guard play. Like, you get two points out of your two starting guards. It's hard to win an NCAA tournament like that, man.

It is. It is. It was their front court. Man, I'm talking about big time. They got 27, 10, 17, and then Rawls came up the bench and gave you 11. But you need, you're going to need contribution from a lot of these guys in different games. it's going to pose different challenges. So, you know, you'll have different guys

stepping up in different games. So, yeah. I like Yukon. They, they play the right way, play hard, tough, and they got a winning pedigree. Hey, that young bull caraband going to have to put them boys on his back now. You're going to need a look.

Who they got, who they got, who they got, put the boys on his back? What do you say? They play Michigan State. Michigan State. He's going to need some help, Ojo. Yeah, you do. but he had 27 at night, but, shoot, man, Reed ain't give him nothing.

Ball ain't given nothing. I'm talking about, oh, no, no, Reed had 10. And she was ball and Smith. I mean, shoot, ball ain't had no point. Smith had two. That's what I'm saying, your guard played. One for seven and 0 from five from three. No free throw attempts.

You got to be a little bit more aggressive too, right? Yeah, search yourself in the game fast, set the tone early. Because that's, you set that tone. And that's the hard part, though, Joe. If your shot ain't falling early, then you're hesitant, you got damn hesitant, especially in the game like that.

Man, you play 32 minutes. You got to get up more than two shots. Yeah. I'm just saying, bro, this is. We're going to go home. Hey, if you lose that game and you go home with them little two points, you're going to be mad as hell at yourself.

Yeah. Damn, I should have been at that. Man, I remember I played, I played the NCAA tournament. What did you do, man? I had two points. No, I had no points. I had two points on two shots,

and the other guy had zero points for five shots. But they put Ross in. Ross played 22 minutes, so, you know, I guess a coach Hurley looked early on and he could see that he didn't have it going, and so he put Ross in. And he fired out. So, you kind of going to be there, bro.

They keep some good talent over there. Yeah, but they normally would be led by guards. I know. That's why I'm surprised. That's why I tell you. You remember Shabazz Napier and they had a, what's the name? Kimmer. Yeah.

Ben Gordon. Rip Hamilton. Mm-hmm. You know, they normally, they don't, hey, Yukon, Ray, they normally keep some guards. Man. Yeah, they do. Boy, they got one on their hand. Now I guess Michigan State.
