When you bet just five bucks only on draft Kings the crown is yours today is Friday March 21st and we've got madness Madness and the SEC is dead. Yeah, the SEC not really but Mizzou the big ten Congratulations big ten and Big East had a nice day

We had not the craziest first day of madness, but McNeese state, I think leads the, uh, leads the storyboard because what a day for will Wade he's announced as the new coach of NC state then goes out and, and gives us a classic 12 five upset where I know it looks like a two point game, but they were dominating Clemson for the majority of the game. Clemson couldn't make a shot in the first half. It was ugly.

Towards the end, they started to pour it in. Yeah. It all came in like kind of all of a sudden. So the two points looks a lot closer than it was. But yeah, we'll Wade, uh, Clemson alum. Yeah. Beating his alma mater, then going to NC State. And new rival. And new rival. Yeah.

And did it the right way because we've seen it the wrong way and a million times where coaches will say, I'm not talking to them. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm focused on my team. Will Wade said two days ago, yeah, I'm having conversations with NC State. Yeah. I heard some people that were upset about it. I think Will Wade probably told his students last year. Yeah. Like, hey, I'm going to

come back for another year. I probably had some offers. I'm going to come back. I'm going to be talking to other schools. You guys want to transfer at the end of this year to probably if all goes well. If you win games in the tournament, you'll get to transfer to a better school. Maybe get some NIL money. So I think we'll wait in a stunning twist. Everything that he was doing that was illegal back then is legal now. Yeah. And he's just being open and honest about it and telling the kids like, Hey, I'm not going to lie to you. I'm going to leave. You're probably going to go look for some money too. Let's win some games.

Not only that, but with the new transfer report rules, he's going to take a bunch of these guys with them. Yeah. So it's like, Hey, I'm going to be open with you guys. I'd rather will Wade be transparent about it. Yeah. It's awkward that he took a new job before his team even played in the tournament. Then Darren DeVries DeVries, who went from West Virginia to Indiana in the Bahamas in December and had his son sit out the year for a medical red shirt. The game is the game. So it's not like I'm saying, Oh man, he did something so wrong. West Virginia definitely has West. Virginia is having a bad week, but I'd rather have the will Wade where you're just upfront about it and saying, yeah, I'm talking to NC state. Oh yep. I got a new job. Yeah. I'm totally cool with that. And I'm also sure that will Wade told the administration I'm go, I am going to be listening to phone calls if they

come right. Right. All right. So game. So McNeese was the big upset, so to speak. There were seven and a half point underdogs. So, and they were the 12 five matchup. The other big one was Drake. Finally, Drake has staved off the meltdown that we are all accustomed to with Drake in the tournament where they start a game, they're up big, and then they slowly melt down. They tried to do it. It was like they were up all game and it was, I think a two point game with about five minutes left, but they beat Mizzou, which was kind of a stunning upset because the sec has been the big bad sec has been the talk of the college basketball this year. And, uh, it was that one and Cal and the boys Arkansas. Yeah. Ending

Hunter Dickinson's career. And they look good. Yeah. Arkansas looked real good. They were, they were getting boards. They were creating a lot of turnovers. So many turnovers for Kansas. It was crazy. Like Kansas felt like they were going to come start knocking at the door and then they just couldn't get the ball down the court. Yeah. It was very strange. And I think that Arkansas, the way that they're built, we can talk about St John's, but not only are we going to get Cal Pitino like America wanted in the second round, but I think that those two schools can give each other a really good game. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. And it was, uh, it was an interesting game because it was a cow,

uh, was basically shocked by Kansas being like, hey, we're gonna zone you in the second half. And there was that stretch where Arkansas just could not score and Kansas even took the lead with a couple of minutes left. But we all wanted this game and we're gonna get this game. I have a question for you, Big Cat. Yeah.

Is Bill Self on the hot seat? I don't know if he's on the hot seat. This was probably the most disappointing. I mean, I would imagine Bill Self is to do a press conference and be like, I did a bad job coaching, but I also hated the fuck out of this team. Yeah. Cause this was Kansas all year. They were up and down. They were supposed to be great. They, they struggled at times. They had some bad losses. And I think most Kansas fans saw this coming in the fact that they just weren't built for

a long run. Again, also it's the end of Hunter Dickinson's career. So Perry Ellis still has a COVID year though he can come back. Here's the stat for you. Kansas had won 19 of 22 conference titles before Hunter Dickinson transferred to KU in his two years there. The Jayhawks finished fifth and six respectively. Moreover they won one turn NCAA tournament game in this time there now

It is a little different because the big 12 expanded mm-hmm Houston got added Arizona got added so and Houston's really fucking good Kansas though. It is Kansas. That's not the best So he is yeah, I think he's done.'s, yeah, he is done. I think so. I don't think that there's any sort of exploitable rule that they can do to bring it back. I don't know that they'd want to back. I think they're ready to move on from the Hunter Dickinson experiment. Yeah, I'd say so. Obviously Bill Self not on the hot seat, but it's fun to have the conversation.

The conversation is being had. People should have the conversation. Kansas also, they became the second AP preseason number one to lose in the first round of the NCAA tournament. You know who the other one was who also Kansas in 2005 to buck. Now that's tough. Yeah. I remember that game. Uh, shit pumping. So there was a bunch of them. Yeah. UCLA shit pumped Utah state. That wasn't even close. That was a, it was close actually in the first half. I think it was a 25-23 game at one point and the final score was 72-47. That was not shocking, but it was just like, I thought Utah State would be a little bit more live.

It was just the guards for UCLA were so much bigger than the guards from Utah State. It didn't look like, it looked like a high school team playing against them. Purdue handled high point very easily. I tried to tell Hank to take the under. He didn't listen to me. Under vibes, St. John's, St. John's kicked the shit out of Omaha. St. John's is so funny because St. John's, they did this in the big East Tournament too, where they have to like go down to, to wake up and, and then just start bullying someone. Omaha was up in the first half and then St. John's like, ah, we're St. John's and you're not. Yeah. Right off the bat. They, when they missed three pointers, they really missed three points. And I think they ended up shooting like a respectable percentage. I think it was probably in the mid thirties. So at the end of the day, you

look at what they shot from three and you're like, okay, that's a pretty good day shooting. But when they miss, they air ball three pointers. Yeah. They ended up shooting 37.8%, which, yeah, you know, would take that all day for St. John's and how they are not exactly a shooting team. The thing I love about St. John's is that on defense, if a team is working the ball around pump, they can getting guys to leave their feet. They pass it to the open guy.

St. John's seems to have an unlimited amount of dudes on the floor running at the face. Yeah, like just in their rotation is so good on defense. They just keep cycling. There's always somebody running at your face. If you think you're about to take an open shot, you're not. And if you look at the offensive rebounds, I believe they lost the offensive rebounding battle, but they kicked the shit out of Omaha in second chance points. That's because Omaha, they would get an offensive rebound occasionally and then just get swatted into oblivion in the lane. Yeah. The St. John's has, I mean, the way they play, they play patino defense where everyone's hands are always active.

Every ball gets tipped. Nothing is easy. Just, every ball gets tipped. You know, nothing is easy Just just swinging the ball feels hard And yeah, st. John's was definitely impressive in the second half Houston squashed siu Edwardsville. Shout out siu Edwardsville Remember we learned the big show. Yep. That's right his right for University. Yeah, so that's huge Alabama struggled a little bit or Auburn, sorry, struggle a little bit with Alabama state, but ended up winning pretty easily. 10 of C I was, I was not offered in the second half. I was not super impressed with Auburn today.

No, I, they've had, they've had weird vibes. I mean, they finished the season losing three out of four and they were the number one overall seed. And yeah, this, it will be so like today, Alabama state, they, they played so much harder than Auburn. They were, they were beating them to loose balls. They were picking up every 50, 50 thing. Auburn didn't look like they had a fire lit under their ass before the game. Maybe Bruce Pearl will be able to start it, but, and they ended up winning by, you know, a good amount. It wasn't by 20. It wasn't close at the end, but I wasn't super impressed by, uh, my badgers handle business, even though the committee tried to fuck us with the early tip time and the altitude. I mean, that was

thanks. Thanks for coming out, Montana. Yeah, that was not that wasn't very competitive. Yeah, I don't think you guys even played your best game. No, Klesmit was was not good and he's got to be good against BYU on Saturday. I'm trying to think of the times they out. Yeah, give them to us. Give them to it. Cause I was about to say, what time do you think the, the, uh, games today, there weren't super memorable moments. This happens. Uh, you know, you'll have a Thursday or Friday. That's not like, Oh my God, that was craziest day ever. But then you look at Saturday and you're like, Holy shit, it's loaded. Uh it to us. 1210, McNeese versus Purdue.

OK. 240, Arkansas versus St. John. Oh. 515, Michigan versus Texas A&M. Ooh. 610, Drake versus Texas Tech. 710, Creighton versus Auburn. 745, BYU versus Wisconsin.

I like that. I like having, are these Eastern standard time? These are all Eastern standard time. Okay. 40 Gonzaga Houston nine 40 UCLA, Tennessee. Pick out what happens if the game keeps going to overtime and going to overtime and going to overtime and it gets into Sunday can be why you play. Six 45. We should try to, we should try to extend it. Yeah. Pull fire. That would be a Long game. Yeah, really long game pull fire alarm I like having an Nike I was worried that I didn't think they were gonna do it because it's out

You know, it's mountain time, but I was worried they're gonna do like the second game need some rest get some rest It's gonna be a tough game. BYU is good. They fucking fill it up up from three mm-hmm it's basically gonna be the scariest game in terms of just any team can go on a run at any time with threes and we missed a fun fact we missed a fun fact why you know max missed a fun max missed a fun fact by the way you well missed a fun because I heard that on the radio yesterday and I was like that's a big mistake on our part that how much does it look up every fact about every person? This is maybe the coolest fact in the tournament. I looked up BYU fun facts.

What was your BYU fun fact? Was it as fun as this one? No. No. I think it was just that they spent $7 million on a player coming in next year. That is fun. Oh, that is fun. What was the fun fact that you missed? Probably money from the Tater T year. That is fun. Oh, that is fun. What was the fun fact? Probably money from the tater tots. Yeah. Yeah

Is it what is it? Is it a good time to say what the fact is you have BYU you say it Richie Saunders His great-grandfather invented tater tots. That's big time. Awesome. That's a sick fact. That's quite a legacy That's a guy who yeah should have like a museum after him and do we talk about Jeff Sprouse? Do we already talk about no, but you should probably apologize Jeff Sprouse. I said I said one play He did he did best player worst player I did best player worst player for like six of the teams and then I only said one of the worst players and it was Jeff Sprouse who went six of twelve from three into playing game. Yeah

Yet 18. Yeah who went six of 12 from three in the playing game. Yep. He had 18, yeah. He was incredible. We think that Jeff Sprouse probably listens to the show. He probably heard that. Probably. Someone from the Sprouse family. Someone told it. Yeah.

I got a reply from a Sprouse saying, admit that you don't know ball and only looked at the box scores. And I was like, I admitted that as I was saying. I think you said it, yeah, you did say that did not even the box score, just the season long. I pulled up the ESPN like stat line for every player. And I was like, this guy's number, these guys numbers stink. Yeah. Uh, yeah. All right. So apologies to Jeff Sprouse. We shall also mentioned texts. The reminder today was, uh, anytime everyone in

the world is talking about one team, just go the other way. Cause I feel like that happened with two, two specific cases. Yale. Everyone loved Yale. Texts, A&M turns out still very good. Wade Taylor, very good. Uh, and then, uh, who was, who was the other, Oh, VCU, BYU. Oh yeah. This VCU BYU was, uh, everyone was like VCU, VCU, VCU and you are you San Diego too. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what, yeah, it started at three and a half. I don't know what UC San Diego is doing with that last possession. You have 14 seconds. You're down three. I would like to try to extend the game a little and go to the rack and try to maybe get fouled there. You're down three. I would like to try to extend the game a little

and go to the rack and try to maybe get fouled there. I don't know. Or a fade away three. It was a, it was a decent look, but it just, you, you have one shot. The plates took so long to develop that you, you didn't give yourself an opportunity to get a rebound. You give yourself an opportunity for them to get a rebound and foul. Right. Yeah. It's just the game ended. Yeah. Try, try to get that off. You, you actually, it could have been even worse, I think, because you could have let Dusty May get enough time where he could then foul when you're on the floor and take away your opportunity to shoot a three. Yeah. And UC San Diego deserves credit. I mean, Michigan deserves credit for holding on and making big plays down the stretch, but UC San Diego, like they were dead in the water in the first half and

they came out in the second half of that first five minutes and went on that run. That was a very good, that was some good tournament action that felt fun to watch. Yeah. There's a lot of foul trouble in that game. That's the only thing. It was not, not the best Tate Jones fouled out with like five minutes left. That was great. Um, all right. What other, do we miss anyone else? Georgia, Georgia, Georgia Gonzaga. Georgia didn't know how to play basketball. Does Georgia have a basketball team? They don't know how to play basketball. It continues for another year. I don't think I've ever seen for the start of a game. Now, can zag deserves a lot of credit. Can Zaga is under or oversea under

seeded as an eight seed. I think they are a lot better than an eight seed. So they're not your typical eight seed. That game started and uh, Georgia didn't know how to dribble pass, shoot anything. Yeah. They're falling on all over themselves. George was crazy. Also out of control when they tried to drive. Yeah. There was also another, was there another Georgia incident football to two. What happened? one guy drove into a house Okay, okay. Are you talking about was it his house? No. Oh and then the second one which I think was the first one was just a

Speeding ticket, but I can I can look it up. It's funny because insane when March Madness is happening Other stories just don't happen because I also it was like a bingo card. We had March Madness is happening. Other stories just don't happen because I also, it was like a bingo card. We had another two Georgia driving incidents for the football program. And then we had a very weird story for Michigan. Yeah. Michigan, some sort of spying. The former offensive coordinator. Matt Weiss. Yeah. So I have it right here. According to the indictment between approximately 2015 and January, 2023, Weiss gained unauthorized access to student athlete databases of more

than a hundred colleges and universities that were maintained by a third-party vendor. After gaining access to these databases, Weiss downloaded the personally identifiable information and medical data of more than 150,000 athletes. Using the information that he obtained from the student athlete databases and his own internet research. Weiss was able to obtain access to social media email and or cloud storage accounts of more than 2000 target athletes. Weiss also illegally obtained access to social media email and our cloud storage accounts of more than 1300 additional students and or alumni from universities across country.

That's creepy. That's crazy. Sounds like he's an anonymous, like an actual hacker. That's nuts. Can you blame Connor Stallions for this? Our silence is gonna try, but this guy not so much. So I got the I got it right here. Georgia wide receiver, nitro toggle, which I mean that guy, he should be allowed to speed.

I don't you can't name him mean that guy, he should be allowed to speed. I don't, you can't name him that. Yeah. He's going to speed. He's going to speed or he's going to be an American gladiator. One or the other arrested on charges of reckless driving and speeding in Athens. And then, uh, on Monday, when you were Kurt Nitro and you're at Georgia, he's a wide receiver. It's like, you have to have like several conversations. Nitro and you're at Georgia. He's a wide receiver. It's like you have to have like several conversations. Nitro, you're going to be under a microscope because your name is Nitro. And also you play football for me. You need to give him a golf cart that goes 20 miles an hour tops.

Or just get him a driver. Yeah. Like we're going to get ahead of this problem, Nitro. And then Georgia offensive lineman Marquis Easley reportedly crashed a car into an apartment complex Monday night leading to a suspension today all gas no brakes hmm interesting I Would assume if these guys are good at football. They'll be playing in September. What do you think they like what like how? After the like what 20th time it happens Like do you think at any point like do you think they joke about it because that's what it seems like they're like, alright, like this is just our thing here. I don't office pool. I don't think Kirby jokes about it I think some of the guys on the staff definitely joke about it being like you got to be fucking shit

I do think I do think you can point at Kirby smart and be like dude You need to do a better job of making the local police in your pocket like urban Meyer dead in Jacksonville But these guys are crashing into apartment buildings. Yeah, I mean, there's not much you can do there. The speeding one. You could put that under the... The cops got to be like, all right, speeding ticket. Yeah, but Georgia's in the national title this year.

I think they've had, yeah, and they've also had so many incidents where it's like, I think the police have to be like, we have to start reporting this. Yeah, and like... We've covered up a lot, but when you're going like 140, like... incidents where it's like, I think the police have to be like, we have to start reporting this. Like we've covered up a lot, but when you're going like 140, like we got to report. Take their licenses. Yeah. When Nitro pulls into the first night, he's like, should get a pass. Yeah.

He should. When you're Kirby smart, you see Nitro pull up to the facility day one, probably in like a Dodge Hellcat you have to be like hey Nitro you're not driving I'm sorry you're just not yeah also we got a another story we had was T Higgins contract the details mm-hmm this is a this is pretty smart by the Bengals it seems like so I'm reading the from Flores broke it down of course he I'm reading the from Florio's broke it down. Of course he did. Flur is not watching basketball. He's breaking down contracts. Nothing in 2025

is guaranteed. However, the $20 million roster bonuses earned five days after Higgins puts pen to paper. So I assume he's going to earn that. Like that's actually a dangerous time to earn it right during March Madness. The only true full guarantee at signing bonus or signing is the 10 million 2026 offseason roster bonus the Bengals have as a practical matter a year to year option. They can pay him 35.9 million for 2025 if he dresses for every game and earns the 2 million in per game roster bonuses and they can move on before the 2026 base salary becomes fully guaranteed. It's not guaranteed for injury. So it's not even a two year contract. It's a one year contract for a good amount of money. A lot of money.

Yeah. Because the 10 million guaranteed 2026 roster bonus has offset language. They likely owe him nothing if they caught him after one year since he'd likely make more elsewhere. Yeah, I was wondering how they're able to, because they said that they were going to keep obviously T Higgins. They're keeping Jamar Chase. They were going to, they said they're going to try to keep Trey Hendrickson too, if they can. I had no idea how any of that was going to work out, but this is a fake contract. Well, he's getting a lot of money this year over what would have been the contract. Well, he's getting a lot of money this year over what would have been the franchise. Correct. So he's

getting a nice raise that's guaranteed for one. It's like a he got a mega franchise tag. And I guess there's structure that if they want to keep him next year, they already they don't have to go back and do this all. But essentially, he got mega tagged. Yeah, he got mega tagged. That was interesting, though. Yeah. What else do we have anything else from the sports world that we might have missed? Scotty Shaffer's Masters Dinner. Oh yeah.

It's pretty much the same as it was two years ago, right? He ran it back pretty much. Except he didn't do the tortilla soup because he told us on PMT that the soup was too spicy for some of the old timers that were there and it made their tum tums hurt. Yeah. So out of respect for them, he's like, okay, I won't give you diarrhea this year. And he added like a little homage to how he cut his finger.

Oh, what was it? Tortellini. Oh yeah, the- Ravioli bites. So that's what he was making when he like cut his finger. Yeah, so he added the Ravioli bites. With meatball. Yeah, making when he like cut his finger. Yeah, we added the Ravioli bites with meatball. Yeah, I feel like that's a nice touch. Yeah, that is a little joke. Haha. I could see Scottie Scheffler playing some football at Georgia. Yeah. Yeah He read up his alley

also, I Know we did We did Mark Pope 25 arrest by the way in two years. That's crazy That's crazy. That's nuts. Gotta lead the league. 23 wins. Mm hmm. Damn. Get those numbers up, Kirby. Not the not the rest. And like there's gotta be so much stuff that gets swept under the rug. Oh yeah. All I'll say is they they have so many arrests at college. They make their way to the NFL. They play for the Eagles They don't get in trouble because they got big Dom big Dom making sure everyone stays high and tight

That would be very funny if Kirby smart brought in big Dom be like, how do you do it? Yeah, he should How do you do it? Zero suspensions least in the NFL. Yeah, go. I gotta find that crap. Yeah, that's sure. That's true I gotta find that crap. Yeah, that's sure. That's true 100% true Mark Pope. I know we it was a little cringe-worthy. We played his rap on Wednesday But shout out Mark Pope, this is pretty cool story. He's paying Gas money to any Kentucky fans that drive to Milwaukee That's pretty cool. Yeah, so our friend Matt Jones posted a proof of it, someone from Mark Pope's office basically being like, like all you do is email and say you're coming show that you have tickets and you're a Kentucky fan. And then they email you back

and they're like, as long as you can prove that no one's between the ninth and 12th grade, because that's that would technically be like a violation of recruitment They'll Venmo you money a flat gas rate good guy pretty awesome. I like Mark Pope That's a cool thing to do. So big blue nation should be showing up to Milwaukee. Love that. What do you got Max? Nothing. I just sent I just sent the graphic of zero suspension. Oh, yeah pretty happy you make the graphic now dove dove climbing You've been suspended though from what Well, you had to take the test you had to take the test. Yeah, you had to take the test

Big Dom wasn't happy. I took that test and the time you didn't push the button. I Think it's suspended. Well, you got if you don't push the button again, you hit soul patch. You self suspended did I self? vacation I Guess that I'm so excited for more basketball tomorrow. Yeah, it's gonna be awesome. It's the best. It's just like an entire day I realized today that I was just sitting in the same spot for 12 hours and it was it was awesome I'm gonna put on the old Apple watch tomorrow see how many steps I take there you go I'm guessing it's a mmm maybe double figures maybe like 70 steps it's also this hit me at the beginning

of the day it's crazy that when there's one game on you find yourself being like where the fuck are all the games? I need all the games. It's boring. Yeah. I can't watch one game. I need four games going at the same exact time. There was a moment though, when I think the first time there are three games on at once, it just blew my mind. Yeah. And I was like, this is so much for me to pay attention to right now. Also, maybe shout out to TBS, CBS, Turner, True TV, whoever else it is. They did kind of fix the scoreboard for a little bit. I don't understand how it's still an issue.

And when I'm saying this, I mean, if you're watching four games at once, half the time you see the scoreboard on one game and it will be ahead of the actual game you're watching. Yeah. My guess is they have some sort of a live feed plugged directly into the scores table. So like when the scoreboard at the arena changes, that gets fed into the other TV chain. Just pause it. Just pause that. Just fucking hit pause. I don't want to be spoiled. Like the beginning of the day. You have a problem with it. I don't have a problem because I can, I can not look at the scores in the top. I, the, the problem is if you know what's happening and your team's playing, like when

Wisconsin was playing, I had to look at the score to be like, like Montana would come down the corner and be like, Oh shit, are they about to hit a three? And I'd look because I, like if I, if I know it's there, I'm going to look look so that's why I can't stop myself You look at me max yeah, I noticed that was a thing I noticed I was a thing earlier today But I think we were watching it on YouTube TV No, I think they they did I tweeted I was pretty mean about it I said I'd skull fuck all of them and then they did it did look like they actually Jeff D Lowe texted me said it looked like they paused it in real time. You could see it pause. So, but then it kind of, it was like laggy a couple

places. Just figure it out. Don't let it spoil us. I, if I, if I know there's a spoiler in front of my face, I'm going to look at it. That's my problem. Also, what happened in severance? No. Did you watch? Yep, you motherfucker. All right. So fire fest So we're gonna do our Mount Rushmore and then we're gonna do San Francisco and then our fire fest and there are Severance spoilers in the fire fest when I say that we none of us in this room have watched the finale So there's no spoilers on the finale It's just we talked about what could happen in the finale Because we have not seen it and we were talking about the fact that it's hard to watch severance when there's all these games going

On so if you're a couple episodes behind Mm-hmm, you could skip fire fest if you are if you haven't watched the finale you won't be spoiled at all Yeah, because you're at the finale. We have not watched it So we cannot we literally cannot spoil it because we don't know Yeah, and our guesses of what's gonna happen probably will make you dumber. Yeah, I'm less likely to figure out Oh, our theories are really stupid, but it's still fun talk. We don't really do a bunch of TV. So yeah, we're all watching it Miss Wong brain of an adult Yeah, that's a spoiler

She doesn't though We don't think so. I don't know Just doing it again. All right. Mount Rushmore, Stanford Steve, Fire Fest, and then we'll see everyone on Monday to recap everything. Okay.

Yeah same thing my brackets busted mmm Cuz you fucked it too hard Yeah, same thing my bracket busted. Yeah, I My first two picks survived buzzer beaters and crazy upsets

She always remember when there's a crazy upset when there's a 15 C to 16 C 16 seed board Like I can actually close my eyes and see the Purdue just Dave screaming FDU is too small for them. Or just Virginia. Yeah. Those those are my favorite. All right. My second pick is going to be one shining moment. Oh, yeah. going to go. You're a shooting star. One shiny moment. One shiny moment. One shot. I actually don't like one shining moment because it's sad for me because it's over It's more than a con like I it's always the end where I'm like, oh that was a lot of fun I wish I could do that again, but it hits you in the field. It does but I just like I kind of got I

Mean like the feels like man. I really should have enjoyed this a little more. It's yeah, it's kind of sad too. It says you always did your best because inside you knew that one shining moment you reached deep inside one shining moment. You knew you were alive. Like you were implying that you don't know that that's the rest of your life. Sting sounds like something Rick and would write in one of his books. Yeah. That's a little preview for our severance talk after

Stanford's too much frolic. That was the great. That was the greatest severance preview that happened after the fact. Yeah. Yeah. We're just, if you're watching severance right now and you're behind, there could potentially be spoilers, but really, but really not because we haven't seen the finale and also we're we're dumb Okay, who's up? I'm up printing out your bracket on Sunday. Yeah Feeling a paper in your touching it. Yeah

Okay My list sucks Sideline reporters hey, he's bonk I had Sidelined reporters hey he's bonk I had You love John Rossi sideline reporters Yeah, the females Females and I guess John Rossi good one, too and Then my other one is the the camera on a dolly that they use for the Final Four. That's like my I love that

favorite shot in sports. Oh, they show them running down the sidelines and The cameras following them. They only use it for the final. Oh, I got you. I know you're saying I don't like it live, but I like the replay. I love it. Yeah, I do like that They should use they got to switch it though before a shot takes place Yeah, cuz sometimes they'll do the bad angle schmangle. Mm-hmm. Okay Max riding a group at with the boys. Yes had it on there great call Pft, I'm gonna go with Cutting down nuts. Mmm good one cutting down nuts iconic. Yeah. Okay, I'm gonna go with crying fans.

Love that shit. It's always awesome. Flu girl, Northwestern kid. There's just always the sad Ram, the Colorado state Ram. Yeah, just iconic moments. And I'm gonna go with a gambling one. I love the rogue foul when when a team shouldn't be fouling anymore and then one try hard is like I'm just gonna foul one last time then you can cover spread or hitting over. There's just it's something about the kids. They don't look at the coach before. Yeah. You're you because you always in the back. This isn't over yet. It's not over. There's like 10 seconds left. You're like if we could just get one guy who just is a little too eager, we could we get back to the free throw line

my last one I'm gonna go with I Am choosing between two This one no longer applies, but it was such a big part of March Madness for a while. I'm gonna include it in practical Joker's commercials I Had something I had finding true TV. Yeah finding true TV. That was the other one I was thinking about Talking about all I saw a Twitter thread today about and it kind of triggered my memory that way back in like the 90s We only got to watch one game and they would just have a live looking for the other game. Yeah on it's crazy also one thing that they did do back in the day that I wish they bring back there was like a

like our Dinner window where they wouldn they'd bring back. There was like a, a like our dinner window where they wouldn't have a game. It was awesome. Yeah. On Thursday and Friday. Let the ball. Oh, I love that. You just go outside and get a little fresh air. But then like, no, they don't. There's, there's staggered. You'll see. I thought there was still that like, like five, there's less. There's less Games in the spot, but it's not there will I don't think there'll be a moment where there's not a game on the Yeah, there's a 335 tip today and a 550 tip. Hmm. Those aren't So they used to have like an actual

We can you know go eat dinner or go outside? Okay, Max. What was that memes? I just thought it was going. Oh, just going outside? I'll go with raft, Bill Rafter. Yeah, good call. I was gonna- Onions.

Yeah, onions. Double order. Man to man. I'll just go with memorizing commercials to the point where you can guess, I feel like there's been March Madison's where I Said I'll just sit and just like guess what commercial can't in midseason form right? Blame us. Yep, we weren't in whatever memorize No, I mean he's there's usually one very annoying I said my list sucked at the top I prefaced it

sideline reporters bonkers of it hey I got I like it I like it Hank I'd support that what are my friends text me you mean anything what are my friends text me yes loss he was just like f- from Hank on Sunday over day I laughed so hard I did that was a good list Hank what was your picks? The camera I mean it's a sick camera hot reporters the camera memorizing commercials memorizing That's good, yeah, we have missed Wings yeah, oh, see you're squeaking. I just like sneaker squeaking, but you guys are just describing like It's a Mount Rushmore of March moments Hank. I said wings my that's every week for you. That was honorable mention I thought about I said day drinking, but then I was like riding about with your boys. That's every fucking Sunday

Things and then they're like, oh, March Madness. I like to sit on the couch and watch sports. What about instead, my favorite part of March is gambling. Like gamble every fucking day. That's what you said for your first pick. Yeah your first pick was the Undefeated on the Moneyline. That was your one good. That was literally your one run! You've made a brand off that for football! Alright, let's wrap this up.

Max, I think you're right with the day drinking, except you gotta specify, like, I think, when I think of March, I think of drinking out of those giant beers. My favorite part of March is going to the bar with my friends. The towers. The towers, yeah. Beer tower in March. Sitting at like a Chilis and just getting... Beer tower. Ripping beer towers.

Jimmy Vee, running around the court hugging somebody. My favorite part of March is Friday, cause it means it's the weekend. Well, no, oh! Vesectomies? Wait, hold on! What did you just say? Friday is the weekend? Oh, no!

This is fun. I'm glad we did this. I'm glad we did this. That's the best. We've been doing this show for so long that like if you try to say one thing you just trigger a memory to get back into another argument. You can't come back from that now Hank. We were right.

Say that we were right. Yeah, whatever. There's layers to this shit were right. Yeah, whatever. There's layers to this shit, man. There's levels. Friday's not the weekend. It's one of the more preposterous days. It's the craziest thing ever.

It starts at 1201. I just... The only other one I had... I love watching a team that's never seen a press. It just always makes me laugh. When you can just... And you know you can get like You're like we can get eight quick points here. You've literally never sometimes I see that I'm like why don't teams just do this all game?

Yeah, like this gets hired Seton Hall is honestly a perfect example Seton Hall is a horrible basketball team great at press. Yeah. Mm-hmm Bugs none is that fuck? Yeah Alright, so you somehow lost this Mount Rushmore and a previous argument that we had for a long time.

Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very, very special guest. He is our good friend, best friend, Stanford Steve. We're going to talk Friday's slate, because this is going to come out on Friday morning when people are licking their wounds from the first day of the tournament. Chaos everywhere. Steve, let me start with this before we get into the games. What's the setup?

I got a couple things. Yeah. All right. Yeah. I want to hear your things, but what's the setup for Stanford Steve for the tournament? Oh, um, well, earlier in the week, uh, we'll have had our Calcutta pool, which is a giant auction. It's actually, I mean, if you got a group of guys and big money, it's, it's a different way to do the tournament. And what you do is every team has a number, there's no cap or nothing. And I want to say you kind of like last year I went for 35, 40 K, like it was around there. So there's probably 10 to 15 teams every year that get in. We do that Wednesday night and then I'm actually hanging out in Dewey Beach.

Starbird, nice. Starbird Raw, Nalu, the whole deal will be there. Family's coming over Friday. So it's kind of scary because we go over there so many times during the summer But I always have my wife and kids As this drops I'll be wondering how I'm doing because I'm gonna have Thursday to myself. No, I love it. I love it Is this spring break season? No see down here

My kids spring break is late like it's the week after the Masters Oh, so it's a it's all screwed, um, when you said by yourself on Thursday, do you mean your wife's not gonna be around or correct? Oh, you're fucked. Why? So you have the kids or no? No. Oh, okay. I thought you meant you had the kids and no wife. I was like, what are you doing, Steve? All right. And then, so my other question about the setup. How do you navigate text messages, calls, whatever to our friend Scott if things go poorly with Maryland? Because we know, I actually got to see Super Bowl week, I got to see the inside look of it because Steve and I were hanging out and he had to go do a hit on Sports Center, which he's on every night. And before the hit was Ohio State versus Maryland

and Maryland lost in a buzzer beater. And everyone, all the producers were watching the game being like, oh fuck, oh fuck, because they knew that it will change the mood of our good friend Scott Van Pelt. So how do you navigate that? I will wait to hear from him. Okay. This this I mean Saturday was so tough. Knowing that the juice is back here in the DMV for the Terps and he was on vacation and I I'd never I didn't I didn't reach out. Yeah. And this is, and I don't think I, I don't think we texted until I got to, or saw him until we did the podcast Monday. So I could see him having to deal with things differently because he was with all family members and he was with, you know,

his family, his, his other side of the family is all Florida people. So I, I, as much as I wanted to, I've been there before and I know that I will wait to be spoken to. And that's how I handled that. Okay. That's smart. The other thing I wanted to get to real quick was kind of a revisiting of our wing date that we had last year with Mark Titus. So Mark, he ate chicken wings because he's proven he's one of the boys, right? Like Mark and Hank, that's what he does. So he ate I think 10, maybe 12 wings and he was out for the next what? Two days?

Three days. Three days? He had to call in wings. I gave him 72 hours. Yeah. He looked like death. Yeah. Yeah, like is it that he's that healthy where you put

a little fried food and good sauce in you and that's what it does to you. It's the Cali boy. Yeah. You can, you can eat wings and go out for seconds. You can have dessert. Yeah. You know, you get so much sand between your toes when you're in California too long, you know, things start happening. Your body starts getting affected outside in, whereas we're building it from the inside out. Right. I have that strength, you know, the inner strength. That's our version of playing an altitude. Yeah. Right. Just keep adding layers. Yeah. If you made me eat like Mark for an entire week where it's like salads, I would just be, I'd wither away. I'd probably, I'd probably a strong wind would take me. I would tap out. I'm out. All right. What do you have for us. I

wasn't sure. Are we going to talk about the crown because I saw Villanova made the crown. Crown is huge. Max just Max plug your headphones. Put your headphones back on. Max we got a crown question from Steve Brown. Do you like Villanova's draw. Sure. We don't have a coach. We're focused. We're focused on bringing in a coach. Maybe Kevin Willard from Maryland. Oh, don't say that down here. I already hasn't signed the extension yet. That's all I'm saying. I heard he hasn't signed the extension yet. All right. Well, you got pretty good sources, it sounds like. But also Max, I'm going through

the bracket and there's no teams from the great city from Philadelphia. Like, not one. Like this hotbed, you know, the pilestry you always hear about. I think it's three straight years, no teams from Philadelphia. Is that right? Whoa. Yeah.

Well, that's three straight years of Villanova not being there to carry the big five. So that's everyone. That's almost half a decade. I know. It's a long time. It's close to half a decade. I know it's a long time I know it's cool. The SEC took took all Philly swagger. Yeah. Yeah, that's bad. Sure. That's really bad I this is a combination too because I do want to congratulate Max I saw him the night before the Super Bowl and I just told like, you know, try and enjoy it try and enjoy it And he had nothing he was on one

And I just want to say congratulations to Max because I know how invested he is. But I do, then I started thinking guys, like we've come a long way at Super Bowl week, like hanging out, like, you know, the Greenlight guys are on another level and like they basically hosted us all week and they were great, but it was great. Dan and I had a romantic dinner next to a guy who didn't say a word and wouldn't move and no one knew who he was, but we moved on. But like having like no injuries, no fatalities. And I just keep going back guys

to that house you guys had in Houston. Yeah. Do you remember the debauchery of that house? I mean, there were some big time people there and they didn't care what they were doing. I mean, Hank was a big time people there and they didn't care what they were doing. I mean, Hank was a little pipsqueak back then too. But, but like we've matured like PFT, we were out, you know, hanging out. I never know where you're going to show up, but you always do. Yeah. And I really feel like we've grown for Superbowl. We, the, the,

our, our intake is, is way more established and we know what we're doing now. I think the pacing is a lot better. I was surprised that Rossello was kind of he was the maniac this Super Bowl week. I feel it felt like every time I ran into you Rossello was coming in at like 2 a.m. closing the shop down telling stories about getting into a fight with Warren Sapp. It's like holding court in front of the entire house. He was Rossello's got a second wind in life. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Cause then, and then you know what? There's, there's, there's no taking the air out of that sale. The second wind too. Yeah. That thing just goes, it's going. Uh, but yeah, I think we've,

we've come a long way in like, I compare Dan at the Superbowl to Duke. Like Duke compare Dan at the Superbowl to Duke. Like Duke, I'm a Duke fan and these Duke teams, you know, whether it's Zion's team, uh, you know, uh, Jason Tatum's team. I love, love those teams, but I always wanted more. And like to get Dan solo for our romantic dinner, like he had nowhere to go. Like it was just me. So it was like, all right, you ready for another one? Yep. And he was a trooper. I give him all the credit. Listen, I wish we could do Super Bowl week in reverse where it's like, I have all the energy in the world on Sunday and Monday. And then by the end of the week, it just zapped. I like, and I think about it because like it's, you know what it is too. It's that we

do these live shows after a full day of everything else. We're like, we finished the day and it's five o'clock and we got to go sit in a bar and do a live show. And I love it. But then I'm just like, get me to a bed where I can just sit and watch your, your Stanford Cardinal play it like midnight. That's the thing. We're still tries to give me shades. Like, Oh, you're out like hobnobbing with people and like, you know, star fucking it's like, dude, I'm just losing thousands of dollars watching ACC basketball in California. That's what I'm doing. So it was a good week though. Yeah no it's fantastic. It always lives up. We got our crew and but I would say like we've come a long way. Yeah. That house you guys had man. Oh man. I mean loud Sean almost died.

He almost drowned. He just got in the pool. He's trying to play one on one with Jared golf and then he, and then he got in the pool and almost died. Glenny balls passing out every night at about 11 PM in the chair with a beer in one hand and the biggest smile on his face. Yeah. NFL quarterbacks had a weekend there. Boy. Yeah. Oh my God. The best was Jared golf called me the next morning. It was like, do you know where Blake Blake is? Blake Bortles. I was like, what? Why would I know? And he's like,

why are you calling me to ask where Blake Bortles is? They had a flight to catch. Steve, real quick though, before we get in the bracket, you gave Mac some shit for the crown. How are you feeling about our Cardinal in the NIT? I picked you guys to win it all. Nice. Actually, no, I didn't. I picked George Mason over you, but you guys, I got you guys going a long way. Big win over CSUN last night. Uh, love our coach almost came close to 20, 20 wins, uh, had Louisville on the ropes, bad whistle and the ACC tournament. But when you have to travel from Palo Alto to play in Charlotte and your conference tournament, you know, you're, you're going to get those kinds of things. So, um, well, we're on the up, we're on the up. We actually had people at the game for the NIT. Haven't seen that in

about 15 years. So, uh, it's a process. We're moving along. We got Andrew in charge of football. That'll, that'll shed light on everything else. So we're good on the farm. Love that. Love that. All right, let's get into some games. So this first game on Friday is, I'm going to say it's the most important game for everyone listening right now because you went through Thursday. You probably got your teeth kicked in. You know, every, every March madness goes the same for me. I go in Thursday morning with a, with a well-thought-out plan about 30 minutes into the day. The plan goes out the window. I get absolutely smoked, but then you have Friday to wake up and be like, all right, pick yourself up off the

mat. Let's do this. And the first game is actually like, it's a great game. And the fact that it's a one and a half point spread, it's Baylor Mississippi state. I don't, I feel like Baylor had the type of season where I was always expecting kind of like what you're saying, wanting more. I always wanted more from Baylor and Mississippi state is one of those teams. Like I love Hubbard. Their defense is very bad. very bad. So what give us a win. We need a winner in this first game. First of all when you wake up today make sure you brush your teeth and look yourself in the mirror and say I'm going to do it today. I'm going to do it today. It's the most important part of the day to be happy with yourself when you're brushing your teeth and looking

yourself in the mirror. Have that confidence. It starts right there. This is the toughest game of the day, I believe. I know. Like Hubbard, Hubbard has no conscience. Like he leads, I think he shoots nine, over nine, three is a game. And Baylor, to your point, Dan, I always look at that. And you look at the eights and nines in this tournament, it's all the, in the seven and 10,

there's all the previous national champions. And Baylor's in that category. I love Edgecombe. But again again, you wanted more from Baylor. Uh, the thing that, uh, Baylor does, they play zone over 20% of the time and Hubbard will just shoot over it. So it's all about Hubbard making shots. I do trust, uh, stands in this spot and, and Drew has been hot and cold in this kind of deal. But Dan, the other part, and you love conspiracy theories, Baylor's point guard, Jeremy Roach, nobody played you the last four years.

Duke against Duke. Nova guy. Makes me think there's something cooking in the book, seeing how the bracket got set. But I'll stick with the SEC. I'm going to go Mississippi State, stands in style play. I believe it frustrates Baylor. OK. Bad pick, but I respect you. These guys have

Baylor in the, uh, experience busters pool that we have. So there'll be rooting for Baylor. This is one of those games that I know, you know, this Steve from doing it forever. Uh, I, I just have this chalked is no matter what loss. Yes. I'm going to pick whatever side. It doesn't matter whichever side. I am not saying I have a strong lean either way. Whatever side I end up on, that's a loss. No and the problem is that's how I feel about all the seven tens this year too. Yeah. I think like Scott and I talked about he loves the eight nine matchups because the the namesake and I just I just look at trying to pick games and I'm like eight and seven tens more than the eight nines, but Yeah, it's it it it'll kick us off

The tempo is the whole thing in that game Baylor likes to get up and down Mississippi State is is good playing slower So I can't even give you a total there because it's about who dictates tempo. Okay, so the 12-5 game Colorado State Memphis Mmm, I feel like everybody's picking Colorado State. They are the favorite-5 game, Colorado State, Memphis. I feel like everybody's picking Colorado State. They are the favorite in this game. It's like this one and then the Michigan San Diego game. People are going back and forth between those over the most likely 12-5 upset. I feel like this one, we've talked about Memphis,

that the fact that they got a five seed is very puzzling. It's really strange. And Colorado State is probably the hottest team. So I like Colorado State, but now I'm double guessing myself. And I'm like, oh, I've heard so many other people say Colorado State, where now they're becoming a trendy pick to make, so maybe I should go Memphis. Understood.

The Hunter injury is enormous. He's a kid that's played at Texas, Iowa State, plenty of experience. The reason Memphis got a five is because what they did in the out of conference, they went to Maui and I believe went all the way to the final, beat UConn, beat a bunch of teams out there. And I actually love what Penny has done. Obviously you carry around the name Penny Hardaway in that area. There's nothing bigger. And he basically fired his whole staff before the season was like, we got to change some things because this ain't working. And they've

had a great season. The issue with this game is I it is it's an automatic loss for me because Maryland's in the next round. So I would I would tend like how like San Diego State you saw that Mountain West like not great. but is that a one game scenario? Mountain West teams, I'm sure you guys know this, when seeded 11 or lower, going into San Diego State's game Tuesday night, were 1-29 in their last 30. Now they're 1-30. So, it, you know, Vegas obviously is dictating here because the 12th favorite over the five, I still think, you know, as a player, like I said, I, I'm Maryland advancing anyway. I would just take the 12 here. So you have your 12 five. Yeah. Okay. Uh, dumb thing I'm

thinking about doing and I want you to assess Oklahoma. Yukon is a good game on paper here on Friday. Uh, the total sits at one 47 and a half. I'm going to take the over in this game and here's why I know I always take overs. But listen, I'm just, that's, I'm not going to bet an under in this tournament. I'm sure they'll inflate that one, maybe a first half under because I don't want it. So that leads to my point. Maybe a first half under cause I don't want to get stuck in a free Tuesday night. Yeah. The free throws. Yeah. The free throws at the end of games are crazy. You caught in Oklahoma are both elite free throw shooting teams. I think you cons 11. I think Oklahoma's like somewhere in six or seven does. Is it crazy to be like, Hey, this is a game where like maybe the overs a little

too too low here. Not accounting for the fact that if this is a tight game, which is spread says it should be, we're gonna get a lot of trips to the line and these both these teams know how to make their free throws. Did you bet it yet? I have not. Okay. Cause I was, I heard you guys in tightest talking about the ball, you know, Friday we get a whole day of seeing the balls, you know, Thursday. Right. So that's key. Uh, obviously with, with the issues that we've seen in balls, you know, Thursday. Right. So that's key. Obviously with with the issues that we've seen in balls, taking care of them. We've never seen, but I have more of the belief that's because of the backboard and brand new rims for every site. I love the over here. Okay. Love it. Both teams are going to be guns blazing. Uh, you can, we know the intensity

is going to be there. Uh, Hurley will have those guys ready. The issue is UConn against good guards. And that's the toughest thing with UConn this year forever in my life. Growing up there, they've had a point guard that just makes plays and can get to the hoop and make shots forever. And they don't have it this year. But on the other side, that's what even hurts them even more is they really struggled defending good point guards and fears for Oklahoma is tremendous. This will be point guards and, and fears for Oklahoma's tremendous. Uh, this will be an uptempo game. I think Oklahoma likes to play that style and Yukon, you know, could get caught up there. There are, it feels like every game you watch

them, there's a 10 L run each way. And then it's just how, how are they going to respond? So, um, Oklahoma has been really good, unbelievable cover at the end of that SEC tournament against Kentucky. I mean, they had them on the ropes. But yeah, I love the over in this game. The point spreads getting crazy high. Yeah. Loved it. I mean, I thought I saw you. I, you kind of went in open. I was thinking I took a minus three and now I'm seeing like five and a half, five and a half. So that scares me off there, but I expect you kind of win the game, but I really like you're over there. All right. I way I just put it in because I was like it basically like if you said if you said even I kind of like it I would have put it in but you said he really was waiting for you to say fuck you

You're crazy and then he wanted to put it in that's the kind of direction he needs if Steve said fuck you you're crazy I would have waited until right before tip to put it in the fact that he said I like it I put it in now. Got it. I wouldn't, it was going in no matter what. Steve, I got, I had a question for you about that. So you were saying like, we'll see one day of balls on Thursday and then on Friday, we can adjust our bets based on what we saw Thursday. Historically, do you know how that works out? Like if there's a trend on Thursday where the under is hitting at a 70% clip, does that hold over through Friday or do the bookmakers adjust overnight for that?

Well, the one year I will go back that I joined you on the Sunday before the tournament, on Selection Sunday, I believe it was the day after, and then that spot got hijacked. I was just going to, I think I gave out first half unders that day, and it crushed. I think it started 8-0. And I kind of tapped out after that, because I was like, I'll take 8-0, because there's that little space before the night games. I'm like, I'm good with 8-0 on the unders. You could have this.

But it feels like it comes around on Friday. It balances out. It always does. If there was that crazy of a trend, the crazy tournament betters would have it. But I look at more of the teams, PFT, and going down the line, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, that crazy of a trend that the crazy tournament betters would have it. But I look at more of the teams, PFT and you know, I'm going down this Friday. So I see a lot of teams that Dan has, has rode overs of, and I do expect a lot of points on Friday.

Yeah. I think like Norfolk Florida, which we don't spend a lot of time on a one 16, I Florida names their number, like as long as they're going, their team totals like 91 and a half, but I don't think it matters. Norfolk's going to zone them, which they'll hit threes. They'll rebound. Like that's going to be a disaster. The issue is Norfolk. Like when does Florida call the dogs off? Cause they have 12 of them. Right. And you got it. I mean, Norfolk's gotta get to 60. I would think for Yeah. Uh, for you to be good. And I just, they're so good and swarm. Like you get the ball underneath the hoop against Florida. You can't even get it over your shoulders. Right. Like it's, and it just

gets punched right back in your face. So, uh, good luck to Norfolk state. They have a great year. They do. They come in scoring a bunch of points. I have looked at that over. So you're going to need like a 95 55 right around there, I think. Um, cause it's well in the one sixties. I think it's going for a hundred. That's the thing with Florida. They, they shoot threes and then when they miss their threes, there's, you know, there's three dudes who are all close to seven feet just standing there getting the rebounds. Yeah. And you have to take the ball out of bounds after it just got slammed on your head. Exactly. Exactly. Steve, how much do you put into speaking to Florida and the sec in general of conference and like these matchups and what we saw in the regular

season and like, Hey, is the sec going to just keep being dominant? Is it, is it, you know, there's a, you know, the ACC has been shit on, but maybe, you know, they only got four teams and maybe these teams are better than people think. How much do you play into that when you're looking at these games? Well, I'm beating over the head every night, um, watching games with a former ACC guy and just hearing how bad the ACC is year in and year out. And then they had like three teams. They've, they've gotten the most wins the last five years I think I saw of any conference in the tournament, which is mind blowing to me, knowing how everyone shits on it. And I get it. The bottom of the conference is terrible, but

I still think the top is good to me. It's the, I know it's still about matchups. It really is. Now, if you're going to bracket and everybody's already filled out, like I said, you can't have Florida or Duke. You know, you got to be different and just hope because everyone, I mean, everyone has Florida Duke in the final. And that's scary to me. And if you're trying to get, you know, people go about the bracket different ways and I just go against the trends. You know, it's time, it feels like everybody had the ones and twos playing the Elite Eight. So it's Florida, I mean, as impressive. I mean, the conference that they just stormed, they won every game by double digits.

And you hear about all the power ranking numbers and everything. I mean, they just dominated that conference. So they're as impressive. As you know, UConn last year, you wondered because I think the Big East only got three teams. So it was like as a, you know, Yukon last year you wondered, cause I think the big East only got three teams. So it was like, all right, well when they start playing some better teams, how are they going to respond? But Florida's played

the best of the best. And I, you know, I expect them, uh, they're going to, they're going to have to get tripped up in a game where a team is an a plus and they're like a C C minus. Right. That's the only way I see them lose. Big game for conference pride would be UNC Ole Miss I feel like that that swings a lot of emotion like if you're an ACC guy You're probably you're definitely rooting for UNC to say like even when in a down year We can still beat the fuck out of you guys you would see do we owe Bubba Cunningham an apology Did Bubba Cunningham get it right? No, I do I will apologize

Seth Davis said that he's like, no matter what happens tonight, it doesn't mean that this was right or wrong. I was like, yeah, fucking does. When UNC wins, then he didn't. The committee was right. And if they lose, then they should be banned from basketball. That was my issue. Cause as soon as it came out, I bet Carolina goes sweet 16 because of the matchup. Like I just can't do it with mountain west teams. And then you look at Ole Miss, who's a six played in the sec, but they don't have it. Like Carolina, you watch them in the biggest jarring thing. They don't have any bigs that are like pros like forever in your life. Carolina's had pros that are, that are bigs, but Ole Miss doesn't have any bigs really either. So like, I love the matchup

for Carolina here. And yeah, it's probably a conference pride deal. And that's the other thing PFT is like, you know, the SEC haters having to hear that they set a record for 14 teams and you know, they are just waiting because they're going to set the record for most losses. And it's her right. Right. Only one team ends the season with a win. So I just know that that is starting. It's just a matter of how fast it accumulates but you know that army is coming to jump on the SEO. You know but they got the record for the most losses. Yeah no shit. Yeah. So no it's definitely a big conference pride deal. Where is this game. This game is in. Let's see. Oh, it's got to be close. It's gotta be in Cleveland, right? Cause they just played in

Dayton. Five serve. Yeah. Oh, that might be Milwaukee. Five serve Milwaukee. Milwaukee. Milwaukee. Um, um, so yeah, South South got to travel North. We'll get back to Stanford. Steven. A second.

Two other overs I'm looking at on Friday. You can tell me if I'm crazy. Give it to me. There's one I absolutely love. Okay. New Mexico Marquette. Okay. I think

both those teams are going to try to get up and down. And then the other one was Arizona Akron. That's high, very high, but they just fucking run and I don't know. Akron's going to be have trouble. Arizona is not that big, but neither is Akron. I think they're just going to shoot threes and it's going to be one of those games that there's going to be crazy runs both ways. Um, and I, I'm just expecting the pace to be so out of control that we can get to like, you know, 75 possessions each side. Yeah, this is one of the most interesting 13-4 when I look at the matchups. I know you

guys were heavily invested in the Mac tournament. It's one of my favorite tournaments. I really think those teams are legit. They played in Cleveland. Every team's from freaking Ohio. So the building's packed. It's an awesome atmosphere. And Akron, to your point, they just want to go like, all right, we gave up a hoop, but they make threes. Right. That's the problem with the Mac teams when they get to this level, is their three-point shooting falls off.

And with that, I love the defense that Arizona guards play. But Akron's style, it's not like they prefer the three. Everybody prefers an open three. But Akron's like, all right, fine, you want to take away that. We'll go with the hoop. So their pace is incredible. And it's getting, it's pretty trendy, dog.

I've heard plenty of people pick the upset. I like Arizona's personnel. And I love the fact, if they move on, that they already played Duke. And they've seen that length in athleticism. So Arizona's kind of a sneaky team for me. I knew, I knew you were going to take the highest over on the board. You just never, you never look at the,

you know, an Ivy league over or something like that. You always want to go with the over. But yeah, you, you, I don't see how you take the under, uh, in that game, knowing the pace that those people plays. And he's probably the biggest outlier in the tournament because his good has brought a team to a national championship game and his bad has not been good. And that's Caleb Love. I mean, I thought he was really good against Houston in the final and Arizona made her. I was really curious about them in the big 12 tournament, but they were impressive. And that bracket, I do my teams that can win the national title. I have five teams in that bracket and you know I do my teams that can win the national title I have five teams in that bracket oh I can win it what are they so give them to Wisconsin hanging by a thread yeah

hanging by a thread because of the draw we will we will know how how we're doing there but BYU is a team um that everyone's picking against but they they were on the list uh BYU can win the national title yes BYU can win the national title. Yes. BYU Leaver. Okay, I like it. Yeah. Yeah, that's huge. The Denver spot I like but they'll. Yeah. VCU think it's kind of hard to

do now but our chips are in. Don't worry about it. Yeah. I then the other over that I love is Kentucky Troy. Oh yeah. Kentucky is not interested in playing defense. Now with Butler back, he's their only line of defense because he is a really good defensive point guard. He's got plenty of tournament experience. But the shoulder, it seems like it's not to the extent of Malik Brown for Duke, but they need him to go far.

But they're still going to shoot. I mean, they're like my favorite team to watch in college basketball is the way they play five out and, and Brea is an unbelievable shooter. Um, and, and they could shoot it from all over. So I look at the, and Troy's a team that beat a Rico's Arkansas state, a team that he quickly jumped off the bandwagon of and, um, they, they gave it to them. I mean, they go the hoop and they're pretty fearless. So I like that over. Okay. So who are the other teams that you think can win it all? You've got BYU, Wisconsin by thread. Yep. Who else do Arizona, Bama, Duke Arizona in that, in that, in that I have, I have said all year, Duke will not win the national championship

if they don't have Malik Brown. Ooh, he he's out. I don't think he's coming back. It's dicey. So that's, yeah, I have the list every year of PFT and then I'm doing the, when you get the bracket, I go through that and I'm like, oh my God. So all this talk about Duke having an easy draw, I don't believe it at all. We touched on Baylor and Mississippi State. They're a pain in the ass and that's the least amount of talk about the eight, nine versus the one than any other. Like you go through the other bracket, everyone's talking about Yukon getting a rematch or two-time champ going against the last two-time champ in Florida. Gonzaga's getting plenty of talk and then Louisville gets to play in Lexington, but no one's talking

about creating in that game. So all those eight nines against the one have gotten more steam I feel and Mississippi State Baylor winners is dangerous to me to do. Yeah. All right. Other best bets on Thursday, on Friday, sorry. We got the Yukon over. You want to talk about I got one. Yeah. Go ahead. Liberty Oregon over just strictly because it's it's the lowest. It's the lowest and it's also the last game and I feel like crazy shit happens in those nighttime always in that game too. Yeah. Oh that game they had last year was brutal. Yeah. Oh, that game they had last year was brutal. Yeah. Uh, when they had five guys on Crate. Yeah. The one I'm interested in, in, uh, here is, um, Michigan state. I look

at their team total under because they don't care how they win. Like, does that make sense? Like they're there? Like you want to shoot some threes. All right. We know we got to shoot some threes, but you know what? You're not going to make three. So we're going to, you know, slow it down and make it methodical, but they're not interested in scoring high numbers and you know, with Michigan state and plenty of people have picked them to the final four, they've had a great season, uh, overachieved, um, from what they were at the beginning of the season. There's a bunch of those teams, but they come to mind at the top, but like it's, it's pretty high. Like it's in the eighties, I think I had,

um, yeah, that you, what you need 85 and a half. Like there's no way. Yeah. You, I don't see that. And Brian's got some guys like Brian's got some size. They got a point guard at six, six, uh, that could do it. So, uh, that's a really interesting, uh, game to me. And I feel like Michigan state, they dictate a lot. And if they want to let's a really interesting, uh, game to me. And I feel like Michigan state, they dictate a lot. And if they want to let's, you know, make this, make that team defend you in the paint. Yeah. It is always, uh, he's kind of like Saban. And that once it's over, it's over. He's not going to push it. He's not going to, to, you know, Nate Oats where they're

just still running and gunning up, you know, a million, like he's, he kind of respects the game and they don't violate the three-point line. Right. You know? They're pretty methodical, and it's been successful, so why are you going to get away from that? So that's one that stuck out to me. Okay. All right, so who are the other teams that you have overall across the bracket that can win it all?

Be careful, because one of these might have already been eliminated. I know. Well, now we know they cannot win. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's only gonna be one standing Midwest, Houston, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Florida, St. John's tech Terps, South Auburn, Iowa State Sparty. Okay. Let's actually talk real quick about Maryland Grand Canyon in this game. I like Maryland. I think they're a phenomenal team. You gotta be a little I think they're a phenomenal team. You gotta be a little nervous if you're a Maryland fan, knowing your depth issues crab five is great, but it falls off after that. And in the tournament, you're always just

one bad whistle away from being like, Holy shit. How do we have, you know, we got to sit a guy with two fouls five minutes into the game. What, like, what are your thoughts on Maryland overall and, and making a deep tournament run? I really like it because they know what they got, Dan. You know, you know, I even look at Florida and it's just like, I don't even know how they do substitution patterns because you don't argue with who's on the floor. And then you look at it, they're like, Oh, so and so only played 12 minutes. Well, does it matter? You scored 90 and you won by 20, right? You know, but Maryland knows what they

have to get from guys. And that's, I think it's only six points they get from the bench of game. And I thought that was even high because I watch them every night and it's like, no one scores on the bench. Geronimo is a great backup big man. The issue is Queen. You saw him get refereed differently in the Big Ten tournament. Went to the hoop a bunch against Michigan and didn't get calls. But Willard's got plenty of experience.

He is a guy that if a player gets two fouls, they sit in the first half. That's a fact. So does he change his ways there? But I just love their shot making. Their guards are tremendous. They run great stuff. The issue with Maryland in that starting five

is their guards don't rebound. But they're such an offensive team that I don't think they worry about that. But I really like their draw. And at some point, when you're a four, you play the one, hopefully. And you get a week to prepare and you roll the balls out. So I, I there it's been really, really cool. Uh, the crab five thing, uh, what these guys done, how Willard has constructed this roster after, I mean, they were abysmal

shooting the ball the last couple of years, just, just couldn't do it. It was, it was tough to watch. And now here they are, one of the best scoring teams in a power conference. So I love the terms. Okay. Steve, what's your plan in terms of your bet management strategy for what you're looking at? Like I'm talking about, like, do you have a pen and a paper? Do you have a physical piece of paper in front of you while you're watching the games? Do you have it written down on like a whiteboard or do you just rely on the app? This, this is already written. This has been a couple day tally of things we like. Um,

what the apps now it's kind of like, do you want to look at how bad it was? You know, like everything's in there, right? Where you look at it and it's like, Oh, I still got this to play and I still got this in play. There's some pen and paper, but you know, if you're going out to the bars with the guys, you know, kind of leave that pen and paper home because you don't want that getting out or losing it because they're, you know, you got to instill it in your head already and you got to have a mindset going in and worry of the intake of being, you know, accumulating over the course of a day. And now, I mean, what do we got? We got a 10 o'clock tip and a 1010 tip. Safe bet is to be in bed for those ones.

Yeah. My plan every March Masters, again, I'm losing better. I lose every year. Everyone does. Yeah, everyone does. Everyone does. But you can't, there's got to be a moment where you just let go of all the numbers and analysis and things you've been reading and just let it fly. Just start, start seeing the ball, throwing it, throwing to open spots. Like that happens early on Thursday where I'm like, all right, I've done all the research. I got all my notes. We got to just go. We got to trust the process. And PFT to your point, a lot has changed. I mean, growing up and seeing people, relatives,

friends bet with a bookie and just let the tab run. That is like, those don't happen as long, cause you're on the app. It's like, all right, Mike, you're going to put another thousand on here. Like you really have that come to face moment, all right, when you're looking at the deposits and the withdrawals. So I think it's you've got to know what you have going in. Because again, Thursday and Friday are absolute marathons. And I always just try to stay in the fight. Just try and stay in the fight.

And if you get to Saturday, you clear down, you've got a couple more hours. I think that first game's not till 1 40. Uh, but stay in the fight and, uh, again, wake up Saturday positive as hell. Yeah. I like to write it down though in the first two games, cause there's so much happening, so much basketball going on. I feel like I'm being pulled in seven different directions. I like to have the pen and the paper in front of me. Now you're right. If you're going to bar, yeah, yellow, yellow Preferably yellow notepad. That's the best one. But yeah if you're going out to a bar with friends I don't think anybody likes the guy that keeps like pulling out a sheet of paper and like crossing things off and checking all that stuff. But

we're going to be in a gambling rich environment on Thursday and Friday. So yeah you guys streaming. Oh yeah streaming them all streaming them all. Oldie coming? Oldie's not coming for these ones. That would be, I don't know if that's a good mix. Yeah he's he Oldie's electric he was electric on stream. He's also on fire. BFT the video of you working on the car and him helping the garbage guys I could not stop laughing. Instantly and it's not for the camera either like that's oldie in all his video. Yeah. And, and, and the accent it's like in the way he says boys, like I, I can't get enough. I, I, yeah, you should see Steve. He literally like the, the, the four days he was here last

week, every time I turned around, he was like, he was taking out the trash. He was restocking the water bottles like he just doing everything. He can't sit still. Like I listened. I listened to how it all came about when the hands was talking about how his friends with Nasher and like can you imagine him going in the Rangers locker room before a playoff? Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes. It's incredible. They love them too. He showed me the video. The guys went nuts. It's like a stri, yeah It's like they love them to show me the video the guys went nuts It's like a stripper. He's like a male Stripper for dudes for straight guys. Yeah, you bring him in and he just gets you fucking pumped up He's any also takes his clothes off sometimes. Yeah, yeah

He's got a vagina. Yeah All right, like that I mean you guys have always found these diamonds in the rough, but man, it's it's it's set about you guys forever. Like it, you just keep living up to the hype. And I like, I'm like, who the hell is this guy? And I can't get enough of love the guy. It is entered, but his genuine energy is just incredible. And you like it's, it's awesome. Yeah. The last few times he's come down here, the only two times he's brought additional pieces of carry on luggage with him just so he can fill them up with Canadian snacks that we don't have down to the States. And then he gets down here and just passes them out. He brought like maple syrup. He

brought candy bars that we don't have down here. He brings it all. He brought two boxes of Tim Horton's donuts and they sat next to him on the plane. The guy's just a gym. And every morning when he wakes up in his hotel room, he packs all of his stuff back up and brings it to the office. Cause he's like, what if I forget something? So every day he wakes up when he's here and like he's going to the airport and then he brings it back. It's crazy. Those are my worst times when I'm traveling for game day. But the other thing that I heard those guys is like, yeah, he, he like if he gets the call, he just tells his garbage guys in candy. He's like, yeah, boys, boys called gotta go. Gotta go. Gotta go. Gotta go. He says, gotta go. Oh, it's great. All right,

Steve, last question. Roll back question. R H L B a C K dot com promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Q zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, row back.com promo code take. Uh, so obviously we watched Thursday and this is coming out Friday, but you can still bet on this, uh, two national champions. So people could possibly put a future on to give us to. Oh, I'll give you a they're on the same side. Alabama and Tennessee. Oh, oh, Rick Barnes. Yes. I love Rick Barnes. I know everyone picks apart final fours, but there's plenty of Sweet 16s and Elite 8s in this resume.

I mean, you guys know this tournament's a crapshoot. I think it's the craziest way to win a national championship. Stuff happened. Like last year, he loses to Kai Ziegler, his most valuable player, Connect scores, what, 37, and they lose to Purdue. Like what are you supposed to do? Right. You know, like there's plenty of those instances. So I do feel different about Tennessee. And they'll probably have already been eliminated. But I mean, Wofford will shoot the 33s and make 20. To your point, they might be a better

team than they were last year. They don't have their best player, obviously. They're better offensively. It's not even a question. And Ziegler. Like Ziegler, like you hear Billis and those guys talk, like maybe there's not five more valuable point guards. And what he did in the SEC championship would keep going at Florida.

It was super impressive. He shot it better. He goes to the line a bunch. And they got some guys in the portal that could score. So, um, I, I like, I really liked that team. Yeah. Both, uh, 22 to one. So not taking Auburn. Although they're, yeah, they're 22 to one right now. It will be down a little, uh, cause they, I think they both play or at least Tennessee plays on Thursday. I might parlay them both to win the national championship. How about that? Uh, also, I don't know if you heard this Steve college basketball expert Jalen

Rose last night was talking about he was gassing up Auburn and what a great player Johnny Broome is. So I don't know if you want to kind of follow his advice in bed on Johnny Broome. Um, good with that. Okay. Okay. I do feel like it's a by low spot on Auburn. Yeah, it might be. It might be, um, uh, women's picks. Oh, I was actually wanting to get those. Let's go give it to us. There's app. Uh, you could find it on multiple apps. Yukon and South Carolina to meet in the final, I believe is plus 400. Uh, I like Ole Miss to go to the Sweet 16. UCLA's got the toughest draw.

expertise as Jalen Rose does Like yeah, if you heard that tournament, this is yeah, this is where casuals come to play. Yeah, and there's that's fine And apparently not though big catch trying to gatekeep my no, I'm not no I'm not trying to gatekeep I said you said I said you asked me what I had I said the over and you said ew Purdue under No, I said, oh you said under I said I have the over. Oh, no. No, I said I have the over first So why under you said the odds? Yeah Purdue it like ill Purdue. I Mean ill Purdue is right, but they do play they do score points Yeah, like I said defense sucks at this point the people in this point I got to just double my bet on the over and just make it a personal thing between us. Oh Hank Hank breaking moves

The Boston Celtics whoa Have been sold. Oh Bill Chisholm the managing partner at Symphony Ooh. Oh, Bill Chisholm, the managing partner at Symphony Technology Group. As Billy Chisie has agreed to purchase the Celtics from the Grouse spec family for evaluation of $6.1 billion. What does he do? Billy, what does he do? He's the CEO of Symphony Technologies.

Symphony Technology. STG. That's like clarinet and shit. I don't know. Yeah. I was about to say, I feel like this guy did a really good job of naming his company where he probably like creating drones that kill a bunch of people in foreign countries. But he calls it Symphony Technology.

So you think of it and you're like, Oh, that's can't be that bad. Symphony Technology Group. We leverage advanced solutions to kinetically eliminate challenges. Yeah, exactly. With private equity. All right, Symphony Technology Group. Yeah, they probably are like investing in companies

that are putting everyone in America out of work in the next 20 years. We've got Symphony. All right, tell me if you can decide what these guys do. We find, build, and scale mid-market software and software-enabled tech service businesses. We have tailored our team and approach specifically to these sectors.

We believe we unlock the potential of innovative companies by partnering with top management teams to build customer-centric market winners. Okay, I know exactly what they did. That's just, they just give them, they just, they just buy the team, buy the company. No, he's by the company and infuse cash and Dell. No, no No, here's what they do. They buy companies and then they fire everyone and then they make more money Yeah, well that well, no, they they make everyone work really hard capitalism. PFT is that no they make everyone

I'm just explaining what he does. They make everyone work really hard for a couple years They build it really big then they fire everyone then they sell then they sell it So this guy is going to be acquiring Celtic. So and put that in basketball terms for me He's going to make Peyton Prichard play 500 minutes a week. Mm-hmm, and then fire him in two years Bill Chisholm Bill Chisholm. So it's now the largest sale for a sports franchise in North America. The Commanders were sold for $6.05 billion. The Celtics were sold for $6.1 billion.

William Chisholm. Hmm. I'm trying to learn more about this guy. Billy Chiz. Hmm. Hank! Hank, what are you doing? Are you on it? Are you on it? Hank, he's managing Carter at Symphony Symphony Symphony. He's Billy strings. Yeah

You love this guy legend. I do love this guy. I'm also trying to find out some more information on him But he seems like a great guy clearly a very smart business mind and I'm excited to see what he's got in store. Hopefully he likes the Celtics and isn't doing this as a business I'm sure that's what it is. I mean, I'm sure the private equity managing partner doesn't care about making money. Mm-hmm There's a passion for him. Well, that's the problem is our current owners like they were like we don't care about the luxury tax Well, we'll lose a hundred million dollars a year. Yeah, I want to be a championship winning team. That's what you want Yeah, that is time will tell time will tell yeah, okay

My fire fest of the week Well, I mean it's snowing today. That wasn't ideal wasn't expecting that driving into work today and Nothing, I mean nothing major. It's the best week of the year Only real fire fest or grape I have this week is just that the Severance season finale is tonight, Thursday night, it'll be out by now. And I don't know when I'm going to watch it, but I'm terrified of it getting spoiled. So I'm probably going to stay up till like 3 a.m. tonight watching it.

Yeah. Why would you say this out loud? We may have to cut this. Yeah, you got to cut this. You're going to screw all of us. All right, what are you... But you know... You know people are gonna...

You're gonna try to spoil it now. It is true, but yeah, Hank's gonna watch it. But then everyone else is gonna get it. So it's really our Fire Fest, is that Hank? Yeah, my Fire Fest is that we just talked about this and I'm gonna get it. So now I have to watch Severance when I get home. We're keeping it in. I'll figure something out.

No, no, I'll figure something out. You're right, you're right. Hey, fake spoilers only, please. No, we're keeping it in. No, no, no, I have to watch severance when I get home keeping. Yeah. Sopranos came out 22 years ago. Yeah. But when I told you I was watching it and enjoying it, you specifically went out of your way for months to spoil. Fair counterpoint. No, it wasn't a coincidence. We'll find. But I mean, we're just gonna all, no, no, no, we're not cutting it.

We're just, I'm just gonna have to watch it after the games today as well. Or watch it with breakfast tomorrow? I'm gonna be up till 2 a.m. No 75 minutes You know what this is this is like a relationship breaker this severance coming out right now Because a lot of guys are gonna watch it either late night tonight or early tomorrow morning So they don't watch it on Thursday night Friday night Saturday Sunday And then their girlfriends and wives are gonna be like what the fuck you just watched the finale of severance without me well they're idiots because they just have to like I told my wife I was like just

watch it without me I'll figure out what I'm gonna watch it because you can't like I got I'm I'm incapacitated for the next four days I can't be relied on no yes I told her I was like watch it cuz like come come Monday you're not gonna be like you're gonna No. Yeah. So, I told her I was like, watch it because like I've come come Monday, you're not going to be like you're going to get it spoiled. So, just watch it. Do you have any predictions? I

don't I mean we I don't think we should do that. Okay. It's not a spoiler. We don't follow rules on this show. Okay. No No prediction that's facts I Think it's weird that the those brothers made out on the boat. Yeah But why that chick stay with him after he unleashed the the poisonous snakes I also saw the meme of the Duke guy with the gun., yeah, I was like fuck you got spoiled this guy killed himself

Didn't actually kill him. Yeah, yeah And then part of the white lawyer for who who hasn't seen that episode yet everything about that guy and everything about Parker Posey's character. I love Parker Posey so much. It's so good tar heel. Yeah, where's my loraz a pair? I'm as a Pam's I'll go you know we're talking about now I do white lotus yeah tar here I what's your prediction here wins it all no I think they're gonna set up a flashback season yeah it kind of isn't it's not as big of a deal knowing there's another season if there was if this was the finale finale I want death I want multiple deaths oh I think hell is gonna kill her dad. Oh, wow shit. I

Would like spoil. I guess you just want to show to be Game of Thrones. Yeah No, I mean she's showing a dragon to come out no no, I mean that'd be cool Like instead of goats, but she's shown that she can you know, she wants to kill herself. She's dangerous She almost tried to kill mark in the first season you know she wants to kill herself she's dangerous she almost tried to kill Mark in the first season she tried to kill herself like they think that she's you know her daughter who's like the whatever of the company but they don't know they don't know Helly down there. Okay I think he does want to be Game of Thrones. Yeah like they make Dylan that's not a game of Thrones that's a realistic take. Are you betting the Purdue over under. Under. Okay.

You told me to. No I know. I bet it for a lot. A lot. Yeah. Oh God. This is how do we always end up in this spot? You scoff at me and then I take it personally. Yeah. Okay. Uh, we'll figure it out. I'm sure you, I'm going to have to watch it at one in the morning today. Yeah. Again, we can cut it because I don't, I don't know. Because then we just, but you know, you would get, would you not see something in the next three days? Like you know, you would, I'm pretty good at like my eyes. Like when I don't, I didn't watch the last one until Tuesday, I'm pretty good at like

scrolling and if I see anything that looks like it, I just scroll as fast as I can. Like I don't, I kind of almost, I kind of look at the internet like with the magic eye where like my eyes are a little crossed when I'm, when I'm trying to avoid spoilers. I think that, uh, that young girl that had the adult's brain inside her, Ms. Whom, I think which is an adult's brain side of her. Yeah she was the manager I think she might she might be Mark's kid huang we think about that I don't know if the time man they were doing the fertility treatments yeah she was like yeah 10 though yeah I mean doesn't match

up you don't think so it's right when they graduated from college No, what right that was like a flash there college professors Yeah, but I thought that it was I thought the timeline would match up. No, they were college professors not in she died like two years ago Yeah, miss. Miss Wong is like 10. Okay, nevermind. That's isn't that up. That was actually, I like the theory, but you never know. You never know. I like the dude. I'm not, I'm not saying they could do anything with timelines. I like the idea that this isn't my theory. This is on the internet, but it's a Gemma is an any that they released to the real world to like make Mark fall in love. Like she was was she's never a real person

Yeah, Twilight Zone stuff. She got severed to leave. Yeah, the twilight is always an any Sorry, how pissed do you think I would be if my if they did the if I sat down with the? Therapy woman and she was like your Audi went 16 to know I'd be so mad Like you motherfuckers. I want to feel that right now. Do you think, I don't think that it's bad that Dylan's wife kissed Dylan's Innie. Me neither. It's the same guy. I don't think, would you get mad?

No. I'd be like, yeah, fuck yeah. I think the problem with it is that he's totally, he's totally different. Like, she's falling in love with the Innie because he's totally different than what he's become Yeah, he is no that. Yeah, no. No, I agree. I'm just saying I think that's why she's kind of broken up about it, too I say fair play, but it's also weird because I support your bros Irvin Burt

They treat their any relationship like it's their Audi relationship But deal but Dylan yeah, and the and the girl do look at as completely separate things this is the worst recap of seven ever but I like it I like I thought we're cutting this whole what if Michael Scott came out he was here at the end and it was just a big episode of the office hmm that'd be sick yeah we're gonna say Max the Twilight Zone thing is that they have like the same episode names of a Twilight Zone episode about like a mannequin going into the real world So that's why people back up what Hank said about Gemma was just a mannequin the whole time Mmm, and that she's like not even a real person. I don't like to read too many of the theories on I do

I read all I just get to know I take dog is just golf swing tips and the problem with reading them though Is they I think helped your golf swing fans of a show I like to just enjoy the show because I think what happens with the show what it's this good. It is this good They think that every little second of the show is like very intentional. Yeah, you know what I mean? We're like, what was this but in Severance? I think it might be that's the difference Like a lot of shows you read too much into it I think that severance has all that shit in there on purpose my personal take that's not all of it probably not Yeah, there's probably some crack pot ones not internet theory based

Just my my own take is that they? Have did not expect the show to be as big a hit as it is and they are trying to stretch it out And they're gonna do an entire like backstory either season or spin-off show Okay, and I could see it being a season. They're gonna Ted lasso it go on skunk No, they're just gonna go back 20 years and tell like they're gonna tell Burt's whole story They're gonna tell Milicek's the whole story. Oh, yeah, you told that cobell's like factory store Yeah, and like basically and then the next season is gonna be the continuation of this season. Do they live in Alaska? People say it's Michigan. It feels like the UP.

It's just always snowing and dark. Yeah. There's a giant body of water. Well, no, I did read that the like I was reading about the filmography. Is that right? Yeah. Cinematography. Cinematography.

Thank you. Because I thought it's very cool cool shot showing I'm really stupid about this stuff, but they said that they intentionally, like the fact that it's always snowy and the cars and everything they put in it makes it feel like you couldn't fully pinpoint what time it is in the universe. The cars are all shitty. They're all from the 90s or 80s, but they have modern cell phones. Right, so you can't fully figure it out where it is.

I thought they had iPhones. No, no, no one on the show has an iPhone. That's a big internet thing. Oh. Because iPhone doesn't let- Oh, bad boys? Yeah, antagonists use iPhones. So people are like, is everyone an antagonist? I kind of have a little weird crush on Cobell. She's like, there's a couple times. Oh yeah. I don't know, but I think of have a little weird crush on cobell. She's like there's a couple times Oh, yeah, I don't know, but I think she's a baddie. Yeah, I'd hit yeah There are a couple times when I'm like oh What is that? I think when she was younger have some gas and box. Yeah ether. Yeah, yeah All right good severance talk. What's your fire first Hank?

Does it? Oh, yeah good fire fest. That's how we got here. Yeah, that is how we got here. Okay, PFT my fire fest is that earlier this week, I was coming home late and My the lock on my front door. I lost the key to it a long time ago So I've just been going through the garage no big deal but I've got a lock on my back door through the garage to get into my house. And it's been making it's been blinking red when I enter the code to get in for the last like two months. I was like, Okay, that's kind of weird. But it was still working. So I got there on I think it was

Sunday night after we recorded PMT. What and that's kind of weird. And I hit the code. Could this mean? Yeah, I just ignored this. Yeah, I just ignored it. I was like I was like is this good So so I entered the I enter the code in and it blinks red But it blinks like faster and read this time and then it makes like kind of cool It makes a pathetic sound like it's trying to open the lock and it doesn't and then I just sat there you have batteries and I hit it again, and it still didn't work

I was like fuck this sucks I think I'm locked out of my house right now And so I keep entering it keep entering it and then after about I'd say seven minutes Not probably not seven minutes. I'd say probably like two and a half minutes it finally opens and I get in I'm like fuck Yeah, this is cool. So then I'm going home again later. No thought to change about no No, no, no thought to change the battery. No, no, no, no thought to change the battery So then I go home again later this week, and I'm trying to get in Doesn't open same thing happens. It's like okay. I'll just sit here for

We'll give it two and a half five minutes And I'll just keep entering the code until it opens because that's what happened on Sunday And I keep doing it keep doing it keep doing it and the door just never opens Yeah, you're here and so then I just go out and I fall asleep in my car in the garage and I just wait and then I got Up like an hour later went back to it Second time it finally opened up and I got inside at that point I thought I'd look it up and I had to change the battery on it

So I'm able to get inside now, but I slept in my car for like an hour. I think on Tuesday night No big deal. It was comfortable in the car for like an hour I think on Tuesday night no big deal it was comfortable in the car yeah but uh yeah that the the fact that it was blank wasn't on right all right it was the electric yeah the car wasn't on in the garage it's all good I good good point though Hank don't run your car in the garage yeah yeah but yeah I probably should have known that something was wrong with the garage or with the door lock the first time when it started blinking red a few weeks ago. I was just excited to see you. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, when you have a household appliance that starts blinking red like it's

a bomb about to go off. Maybe just... That's cool. Maybe Google it. But now I feel like I'm on, like, I got a clear path in front because I got a brand new set of batteries in there. Would you be fine since it was electric? It says not to run it in the garage just in case it starts a fire. Got it. So I just... would you be fine since it was electric it says not to run it in the garage Just in case it starts a fire got it, so I just wouldn't it wouldn't be the I think it's a general rule of thumb Yeah, that's actually like a funny bit of like someone trying to kill themselves Like what are you doing dude? Yeah, just takes like a eight hour nap Yeah in heaven a guy who owns a Prius catches his wife cheating on him, and he just goes to the garage

She's like I'm ending it all it just stays in there for like a day But yeah, my garage is good now, but that's good point Even if you have a like a hybrid or an electric car some of them produce some emissions, so don't do that Yeah, but I was good Okay, I don't really have a fire. Oh, I guess like the only fire first I have is a on Saturday, St. Patrick's Day. Um, one, I was obviously, uh, just sad seeing everyone go out and I was like, fuck, I wish I could go out again and still be able to hang. And then two, I got, uh, I got bagels and donuts for my family and I got

a green bagel and then my kids were Convinced that it was poisonous and they made me eat it first. So that's kind of fucked up. There's your job You got to eat that And then I think I think that dead for like three minutes. That was kind of funny What backs you're just you're just a bad guy. Why? Because the kids were the kids were probably scared I ate it I know I know it's like you know fake firing someone oh fake oh the fake death you mean yeah fake that yeah I mean it's funny troll I was laying on the ground

yeah my daughter was like get up get up isn't that a good precedent is that though that dad always eats first yeah you have to wait till I eat I just thought it was kind of bullshit like we should have you know like drawing straws to see who could eat the poison Something like that. Yeah seems a little Like if I go down it's problems for everyone. No, all right max you gotta you gotta fire fest. I Don't I I haven't I'd normally don't do fire I know but I just asked I feel like I did have one, but I can't remember your entire day yesterday Oh, yeah DMV that that's actually what it was DMV sucks DMV Illinois makes no sense

Impossible to get an appointment because everyone's trying to get real ID real ID. That's a load of bullshit Oh, they're not you are you doing it again? Yeah, and man starting may fit. I don't have any real ID I don't have it possible to get an appointment And then you get an appointment and then you go to the DMV and then you still wait in line for like two hours and then you go from one line to the next line. There's six different lines you go to at the DMV. Why can't there just be one line. You go to one person you get everything done and you leave. You go to eight different lines and you get an appointment and appointment means nothing. Good. Good. I hate the DMV. Good job. People were nice

though. I will say that people have DMV. Good job, Max. People are nice though, I will say that. People at the DMV get a bad rap for being mean. The people are nice there. Yeah. But too many lines. Yeah. No, the people are nice because, I mean, also they have a job that's not... People aren't

walking to the DMV being like, thank you so much for your customer service. So it's a thankless job. But yeah, the line situation. You just walk around everywhere. I swear to God, I went into six different... There's a line outside to but yeah the line situation you just walk around everywhere. I swear to God I went into six different There's a line outside to get to the line inside then you get to the line inside to get to the first person And then you go that person says you got to go take a picture I don't know why I had to take a picture

I just took a picture three months ago Then I have to go to another person at another desk then they actually fill everything out Then you got to go to the cashier They you just you just a line to pay someone someone. And then you go to the final person and they print out your ID. There's six different lines. Too many lines. You have to take tickets at like four different places

to get a number. Yeah, and then they send you right in. I ran into the Illinois Secretary of State last time I was at the DMV. Cause I saw his picture on the wall. They make that guy look like Keir. Yeah, and then the guy that was on the wall just walked past me in the hallway and I stopped and I go you're that guy from the wall

And he looked at me is like yeah, what can I help you with I was like I'm trying to register my license plate On my El Camino, and no one's helping me. He's like okay. I can help you with that They told me I couldn't put bitchin as my license plate bullshit. That is bullshit, but what's the guy's name? Alexi, Julie Julie's yeah good guy. He reached out later try to make it better He's like I'm sorry. I can't do bitchin if you want his number max. I'll give you his number you can alright Oh, look he looks like here. Yeah, they just have they just have like his pictures. Why did you walk in? Yeah, there's like candles that are in front of it. Yeah That's good firefire fest DMVs a good fire fast. I heard Hank. Thanks for reminding me of what my fire festival

That's all you talked about yesterday. I know, I was pissed. Hank just kept saying, too much about the DMV. You get two complaints about going to the DMV. I said it like 15 times. I love it. I heard that they set up like a special place downtown that you can go to just for the Real ID stuff.

Yeah, I heard that. Oh, I need that. Also, the reason I went to the DMV was because when I lost lost my wallet when I broke My foot four months ago. Oh That's a bad night yeah, wait, so you I've just been driving around yeah for four months, but I have one now Okay, so you're back. Yeah, try it pug just kept being worried for me. He was like Wait, so you like you really just drive drive around with the possibility of getting pulled over? And I'm like, it's fine, dude, it's fine.

He's like, I would be freaking out. Pugs of Rue Farm. And by the way, memes, are you ever gonna get the bumper fixed? I'll pay for it at this point. I already paid him for it. It's crazy. You did?

No, Hank gave him $2,000 to get it fixed. $2,500. And he just pocketed it. I couldn't believe it when I was watching the PM TV So for people don't understand so when I got a new car in like 2018 I sold my car to Hank for $1 Hank then kind of cucked me and two years three years later gave the car to Memes made me look like a bad. Oh you did Oh actually negative 2500 yeah, so but hey kind of or 98 Hank got in a car accident It's like cars and I drove into a pole

It was like a yeah It was like an eight-year-old like it was like seven years old the car that I sold to Hank So it's like still got a lot of miles left and it's a good car car But yeah, Hank got in a hit a pole a week before he sold it to memes Which was how long ago before we moved to Chicago? So through two years ago two years and Hank gave him cash to get the bumper face I went and got it estimated they told me like how much it was gonna cost and I just gave that to memes and memes me just has duct tape on his bumper

in fairness I would do I would have done the same thing the only reason I felt bad that I was giving you a damaged car but like it also if you had given if that that situation happened where you're like, oh, I just got a little fender bender Here's some money to get it fixed. I probably would have done the same exact thing, but it's not like a little fender bender It's a big hole on the but doesn't does it affect driving? No, not at all I fucked up by not getting it done right away Like holding it together. I saw it on the PMTV with old You know, I was just like what the fuck you got to get into another small car accident and then give that car to Jack Yeah, yeah, just pay well

I thought I thought about getting it fixed one time and then I did the thing Hank did and like backed into a bowl Oh, yeah, that's a different. Oh, no. No, it's the same one. But like I when I thought about getting it fixed I was like, oh, this is just gonna happen again.
