One, I get very emotional when I get to see the small schools get to go to the tournament for the first time ever. That, it will literally make me cry. The women make me cry more than the men do.

I don't really cry when I see the men get to go to the tournament for the first time. It's actually so. What are you doing there? I'm just watching them. I watch the men's tournament for the funny moments or the selection show where yesterday, Iowa State, they had just gotten announced

as the two seed and they were seated way lower than they should have been. And they'll keep the view of them on the screen as they're talking about them. So them in the room, so they're celebrating because they got their announcement. And then Clark Kellogg is like, their schedule was so bad. They did terrible.

And it's just them shitting on the team with them on the camera there. So they're like celebrating, but you can see the players be like, what is he saying about us? And I freaking love it. I think it's so funny. They had another moment where they were showing Drake

on the screen and the camera just gave out. It just went to all the bars. It is funny. I was noticing when they announced Green Bay, Lucy, the internet service, terrible. Whatever. It was so bad.

It was so bad. It's so fuzzy. Like they were so hit or miss, I feel like for the women's selection show. Some of them would be like the most excited people you've ever seen in your life in like crystal clear 4K. And then some of them were just like fuzzy or they cut away before they reacted to it.

Cause I think there was like a little bit of a lag for some of them. And so they were like, and there's, and okay, they're not reacting. Back to the studio. Yeah, very awkward. The whole women's show was just, and I love Elle Duncan, but it was Elle Duncan being like,

they don't seem excited at all. And it was like, girl, they're like 10 seconds behind you, they don't see it yet. And then she'd like cut away, and then they'd start celebrating. She'd be like, oh my God, it's like they heard me. And it was like, girl, the video is not gonna be exactly on time, and it was so funny.

And they had another moment where Holly Rowe interviewed the head of the Women's Selection Committee, who I'm beefing with right now. And it was like pitch black. You couldn't see anything. The lighting was so terrible. It was terrible. I noticed that too. It was just a weird show, but I enjoyed it.

Besides what you said on today's show, how are you escalating this beef with the head of the committee? Are you doing anything? Do we have a plan for this or? No, I can't think that far ahead. You're just saying that I have beef? I'm just, I'm just have beef. Sometimes you can just have beef with people

and I think with time I'll get over it. No. Well, it depends on how the season ends. Lucy, they're gonna put this on a billboard in Cleveland or something. This is how the show works. You can never just have beef. There has to be an escalation of the beef. There has to be an escalation of the beef. There has to be something that will either embarrass you

or harm future job prospects for the show to be operating correctly. I feel like working here just harms future job prospects and I kinda knew that risk signing on so I'm not worried about that one. Maybe, I don't know, maybe I'll write her a letter or something, I'm not quite hateful. A letter?

I'm angry, but I think in a few days, you know I didn't sleep well last night, I was thinking about the brackets, I'm a little cranky. I think a letter will do it. I think a letter will be fine, and it's not even going to be a mean letter, it's going to be like, hey girl, I really don't think that was cool. And I forgive you because I'm a girl's girl and I respect you, you're a woman in a powerful position, hell yes sister, but don't do that shit with Iowa again, please. But you don't think it's cool because they gave the best player in college basketball the hardest draw to the Final Four.

And I said, I'm going to tell her I don't think it was cool, but I respect you as a woman and I respect you in your position of power. Hell yeah, women in sports forever. But girl, that was not, that was not your best move. Do you guys think Clark Kellogg is pissed at someone at CBS? Like, do you think they intended for Kellogg to still be rolling while Iowa State was listening to that rant? It was like casual enough, or like, he wasn't like, they suck, because Iowa State's a very good team, but he was just like, yep, they earned this spot because they didn't play anybody in the non-conference. And it was just kind of like, oh, okay, cool.

Like, you're going to cut that. Clark Kellogg, name that canoes an ice cream topping. Ooh. And a cereal. Well, yeah.
