Speaker 1: Welcome everybody. It is Fade. This the Sweet sixteen episode
Speaker 1: here on well, the week of the twenty fifth. It's
Speaker 1: the twenty sixth. I think it's the actual day, but
Speaker 1: it's a Sweet sixteen Elite eight week after an exciting
Speaker 1: first round of the NCAA tournament. We're sponsored by DraftKings.
Speaker 1: You know, you go to DraftKings, you do your thing.
Speaker 1: You get to place wagers on the games. I did
Speaker 1: drew all weekend. You know, when Kentucky loses, like, what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? You know, the only thing left
Speaker 1: to do is play some wagers. And I was awful
Speaker 1: for the vast majority of the weekend. But then but
Speaker 1: then on Saturday, five team money line parlay with North
Speaker 1: Carolina come on and raise up Arizona, Tennessee in c
Speaker 1: State and somebody else. I can't remember who the other
Speaker 1: one was, but I did a five team money line parlay.
Speaker 1: I think maybe Iowa State hit it and then got
Speaker 1: right back on track. So the weekend was even. I
Speaker 1: probably placed thirty wagers and ended up right back where
Speaker 1: I was when I started. So you're back ready for
Speaker 1: a new week. I'm not in the same boat as you.
Speaker 1: My boat is taking on water might be at the
Speaker 1: bottom of the sea. I started the tournament betting in
Speaker 1: Mississippi State that first game, and I thought, you know what,
Speaker 1: we can't win every bet with that. One of the
Speaker 1: first one that was over in a matter of minutes.
Speaker 1: Later that night, I lost. I guess four consecutive bets.
Speaker 1: I had Kentucky to the sweet sixteen, Kentucky to the lead,
Speaker 1: eight Kentucky to the final, four, Kentucky.
Speaker 2: To the National Championship in Kentuck. Five bets Kentucky to
Speaker 2: win the championship lost. All of those were all dead
Speaker 2: with Mississippi State. The sun went down on night one,
Speaker 2: so I'm still crawling out of a hole.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I lost a lot on that too. That but
Speaker 1: you know, favorites the day the favorites went like eight
Speaker 1: to oh boy, was betting all favorites. I really feel
Speaker 1: like round two is where you separate the wheat from
Speaker 1: the chaff when it comes to game because round one,
Speaker 1: you know, there's surprises, you get your six eleven, seven
Speaker 1: tens that are hard, but in round two there's a
Speaker 1: discrepancy in who's good between round one and round two.
Speaker 1: And I think if you really like you focus in
Speaker 1: you hone in you can make it happen. If it
Speaker 1: wasn't for Baylor, this would have been I'd have had
Speaker 1: a sunny Sunday money line parley where they had me
Speaker 1: come and smack Billy right across the head. I would
Speaker 1: have been so excited. You don't seem very excited about
Speaker 1: that Billy for.
Speaker 2: A smack on the head now, But it would have
Speaker 2: been out of happiness, you said along twenty four hours
Speaker 2: over there. Yeah, you uh set the same scene.
Speaker 1: Yeah you were. You were producing the John Caliperry will
Speaker 1: he or won't e? Show last night.
Speaker 3: And I tell you what, heart outs don't care how
Speaker 3: much millions of dollars you make.
Speaker 1: A year for those of you listening across the country.
Speaker 1: They just cutkel off in the final sentence. They meaning Billy,
Speaker 1: Billy got to hit the button. Billy, you got to
Speaker 1: hit the button that told John cal Perry to shut up.
Speaker 1: No one's ever been able to do that before, but
Speaker 1: you no, yep.
Speaker 3: And then I apologized to Tom, and apparently my comments
Speaker 3: went over the stream, so everybody heard me say, sorry, Tom, Sorry,
Speaker 3: I didn't hear you.
Speaker 2: Have us back to your money line parlays, I usually
Speaker 2: do that every year and didn't this year, and this
Speaker 2: feels like the year.
Speaker 1: Round two is the round two swin to do it.
Speaker 1: Round two, Round two money. Like I said, I hit
Speaker 1: a five teamer on Saturday, and I hit four or
Speaker 1: five on Sunday. Baylor lost and that knocked me out.
Speaker 1: But you that's the day to the day to do
Speaker 1: it because I think the discrepancy, in my opinion, like
Speaker 1: I said, the wheat sheep separates from the chaft, So
Speaker 1: you had. Yukon looked awesome in round two, Perdue looked awesome.
Speaker 1: In round two. Houston looked awesome for a while, and
Speaker 1: then A and M made that comeback. Tennessee looked awesome.
Speaker 1: Like I kind of feel like the team teams that
Speaker 1: really have a chance to win the national championship, they
Speaker 1: all North Carolina. They all kind of shifted into a
Speaker 1: higher gear in round two. My five teams were the
Speaker 1: four one seeds in Tennessee. I still feel good about that.
Speaker 1: I'm a little worried I left out Iowa State, but
Speaker 1: otherwise I feel good about it.
Speaker 2: I would say it ad a strong finish and I
Speaker 2: think there really is something too in that second weekend.
Speaker 2: Once teams just get that one out of the way,
Speaker 2: shake off those nerves a little bit, see one go in,
Speaker 2: get one win, even if you were a heavy favorite.
Speaker 2: I think that's when you start to see the as
Speaker 2: you call it, wheat and chaff in this scenario. That's
Speaker 2: where their second round they play really well, which is
Speaker 2: why not to stay Kentucky centric. I thought, if they
Speaker 2: could get past Oakland, maybe just shake that stuff off
Speaker 2: in Kentucky could have been one of those dominant teams.
Speaker 2: But you see what happens when you don't play well
Speaker 2: in that round one.
Speaker 1: You could have shaken it.
Speaker 2: Off, shake it off, to shake off those l's.
Speaker 1: So I know I started. So we picked every game
Speaker 1: against the spread in the first round last week. I
Speaker 1: know I started zero to four and I thought to myself,
Speaker 1: this is going to be bad. When I asked Billy
Speaker 1: what the final numbers are because we didn't get to
Speaker 1: pick the second round games. So I'm hesitant to ask
Speaker 1: Billy how we did last week because I feel like
Speaker 1: it's not going to be good and we haven't talked
Speaker 1: about it. So Billy, first of all, let's do Drew first.
Speaker 1: How did Drew do last week?
Speaker 3: Drew when a very healthy nineteen of thirty two when
Speaker 3: it comes to the.
Speaker 1: Round the nineteen and thirty. That's very good. Congratulations.
Speaker 2: I wish what I was putting my money on lined
Speaker 2: up with what I picked here.
Speaker 1: But I was six units. As the kids would say,
Speaker 1: good for you, Thank you? All right? Now, how did
Speaker 1: I do? Matt?
Speaker 3: You were twelve of thirty two in this instance, twelve
Speaker 3: and twenty.
Speaker 1: You want to redo those, you want to add them again?
Speaker 1: I feel like you might have missed a couple.
Speaker 3: I mean, we can go through the list.
Speaker 1: Because I made more money than Drew in real life,
Speaker 1: I don't think you could have.
Speaker 2: Most of my money was on Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Read me a couple of the losses and I'll see
Speaker 1: if you got it right for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you lost Mississippi State.
Speaker 1: Well, no, give me the ones Drew got right that
Speaker 1: I got wrong, because I want to.
Speaker 3: Make sure you took Akron over Creighton. Don't remember that
Speaker 3: you took Nevada over Dayton. Did you took Saint Peter's
Speaker 3: a plus twenty one and a half? Why did it
Speaker 3: against Tennessee?
Speaker 1: Why did I take Saint Peter's plus twenty one and
Speaker 1: a half.
Speaker 2: That was a tough one. Tennessee feels like a team
Speaker 2: that's gonna, you know, run up the score on on
Speaker 2: those teams then fizzle out.
Speaker 1: It was a dumb decision. What's the next one. I
Speaker 1: think you got one of these wrong.
Speaker 3: N C State got you. You took Texas Tech. I
Speaker 3: took Texas Tech to cover minus five.
Speaker 2: You also practicing in front of us when you made
Speaker 2: the pick. I think that's why you.
Speaker 3: Had Auburn over Yale.
Speaker 2: And really it's not your fault.
Speaker 1: It's over Yale that one. That's should I knew that one. Okay.
Speaker 3: You took Nebraska over in A A and M.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought they were going to win their first.
Speaker 3: You took Charleston over Bama, and you took Wisconsin over JMU.
Speaker 1: Why did I do that? I put JMU in my bracket.
Speaker 2: I should have talked to you. Way too much emphasis
Speaker 2: on the proximity of the media cruise to their games.
Speaker 2: You're really worried about media teams the last round, Ducaine,
Speaker 2: you had no faith in them. I know you didn't
Speaker 2: think they could even get to the game. They were
Speaker 2: so busy with responsibilities.
Speaker 1: All right, So twelve or thirty two, I mean that's objectively,
Speaker 1: I mean it's good it's not faith. It's not but
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not like listen to the podcast and
Speaker 1: you're gonna follow the picks. Good. But you know what
Speaker 1: the second round, which we didn't air, I didn't really
Speaker 1: what we did. Did you do this in the shower? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I do it. I did it in my head.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, going to pick this one, and
Speaker 1: those were I think fourteen and two. So go ahead,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do like Trump and his golf tournament. Go
Speaker 1: ahead and award me the winner of the second round. Okay,
Speaker 1: Drew gets the winner of the first round. I did zero's.
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't know we were doing an imaginary episode, so
Speaker 2: I did not make any second round picks in my head. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's good. Fourteen and two? What were your two losses were?
Speaker 1: Baylor and uh actually fifteen to one? Wow?
Speaker 2: What a what a round? Two?
Speaker 1: Over here? Actually, let me look, because you know I
Speaker 1: want to be objective, let's look here. Yeah, I had Arizona,
Speaker 1: I had Gonzaga. I had North Carolina, I had Iowa State,
Speaker 1: I had NC State. This is on record. I had Tennessee,
Speaker 1: I had Illinois. I don't think I would have gotten Creighton.
Speaker 1: So let's say seven and one Saturday. I'm being generous. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, now, let's go to Sunday. Uh, Colorado covered.
Speaker 1: I would have bet Colorado covered. I think I'm good
Speaker 1: with that. Purdue, yes, Duke, Yes, Clemson I got wrong,
Speaker 1: Alabama yes, Yukon Yes, A and M. I actually bet
Speaker 1: for real to cover and they did.
Speaker 2: You had the first round though, so how'd you have?
Speaker 1: Yeah, have to bet again? So yeah, I think fourteen
Speaker 1: and two is objectively what I had. That lost episode.
Speaker 1: It would have made a lot of money for people.
Speaker 1: It's a shame.
Speaker 2: It's just out there floating around with Easter Bunny.
Speaker 1: You know. Look, here's the thing. Got back Friday. We
Speaker 1: got back Friday. I did the episode by myself in
Speaker 1: the house.
Speaker 2: I just think I was just pretty much that whole time.
Speaker 2: We could have done an episode.
Speaker 1: I know, I just forgot to hit record.
Speaker 2: Okay that happened. Listen did did Billy call us a
Speaker 2: state in this dream?
Speaker 3: What else did we talk about? How did you record
Speaker 3: and then get it?
Speaker 1: Well that was a problem. I tried to record on
Speaker 1: my phone. Oh yeah, and I accidentally I didn't hit south.
Speaker 2: Look, there's gonna call you a liar, So I guess
Speaker 2: I'm down fourteen zero for me.
Speaker 1: So if I was twelve and twenty and then I
Speaker 1: went fourteen and two, I think I'm twenty six twenty two,
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. Pretty good.
Speaker 2: I think I'm still winning percentage for myself.
Speaker 1: Well, what you don't remember? You went say? I also
Speaker 1: recorded what you would have picked.
Speaker 2: Okay, I gotta find this episode. Did you rank any Ernest.
Speaker 1: P worrel movies? I did not. As we're about to
Speaker 1: record this, Richard Patino, as we has emerged as the
Speaker 1: favorite for the Louisville job. I think Louisville just does
Speaker 1: what they do for comedy. I just want to on
Speaker 1: the national level, help you understand what happened yesterday The
Speaker 1: Louisville color radio announcer came out and said that the
Speaker 1: coach of Indiana State told him that the coach of
Speaker 1: Michigan got death threats when he was almost going to
Speaker 1: be the Louisville coach. And then later that day the
Speaker 1: Louisville Color play color guy said, maybe it was me
Speaker 1: that said that, not the Indiana State coach. I can't remember.
Speaker 2: Maybe, I mean, who really cares? Who said death threats?
Speaker 2: Could have been his, matter could have been him, It
Speaker 2: could have been me.
Speaker 1: I could have been mad on.
Speaker 2: The podcast week Who knows that's what it was.
Speaker 4: I just I love that that would be the equivalent
Speaker 4: of like me, you know, going up to say I
Speaker 4: don't know John Calperry and going and we have a conversation.
Speaker 1: Now come on the air and go. John Calperry told
Speaker 1: me that Danny Hurley is a communist sympathizer and that
Speaker 1: might make news. And then when they asked me about it, go, well,
Speaker 1: it might have been me that said that happened to
Speaker 1: to caliper I'm not sure, looked furious and told me
Speaker 1: not to say that. Let's not get into the details
Speaker 1: of who said what when I mean only Louisville. And
Speaker 1: then the next day they're contemplating hiring a person whose father,
Speaker 1: just fo five years ago sued the same school for
Speaker 1: forty million dollars.
Speaker 2: It's brilliant. They only exist for like to entertain me
Speaker 2: in my brain and not on the basketball. It's on
Speaker 2: things like this, and they they just keep getting better
Speaker 2: and better. When I think they've run out of things
Speaker 2: that we find hilarious and can mock on our radio
Speaker 2: show and blog about they do things like hire Richard Patino.
Speaker 2: Does this mean Rick will come back and hang out?
Speaker 2: I mean, will he be in the YOUM Center again
Speaker 2: once he retires? Just is he just gonna be around Louisville.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Someone close to the program just told me.
Speaker 1: Now I remember Jody Dimling is reporting he's the favorite,
Speaker 1: and Jody Dimlin is very close to the program. Someone else,
Speaker 1: who doesn't want me to say, who's also very close
Speaker 1: to the program, told me there's no way in hell Rick
Speaker 1: Patino would let his son.
Speaker 2: I thought it was pretty still nasty there between Rick
Speaker 2: and the old school.
Speaker 1: So I love it, impe Rick Patino doesn't want him
Speaker 1: to do it. Richard does it anyway, and then they
Speaker 1: get in a fun that would be the only way
Speaker 1: it would make it better.
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, it felt like Dusty May was to
Speaker 2: pick just a little bitgre that was death fake death
Speaker 2: threats ago and now they're down to to Richard Patino.
Speaker 1: I was talking, I was talking to Rick Patino on
Speaker 1: my Round two podcast, Now that makes sense, and he
Speaker 1: said he didn't want Richard to take the job. Or
Speaker 1: maybe it was me. I can't I can't remember who
Speaker 1: said it. We gotta find this episode. We do, all right,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna go to Sweet sixteen. There are eight games,
Speaker 1: so not as many games, so we get to really
Speaker 1: dive into them in detail. But I also don't want
Speaker 1: to cheat our listeners of knowledge. So the n I
Speaker 1: T is also going on. So I'm gonna throw you
Speaker 1: a little curveball.
Speaker 2: We're gonna start with the n I T.
Speaker 1: Start with the n I T, and we will begin
Speaker 1: with the games tonight. Now by the time you listen this,
Speaker 1: it may be these games are probably over, so you'll
Speaker 1: know whether or not we continued our hot streak. Now
Speaker 1: we'll start with the quarterfinal matchup in Columbus, the Georgia
Speaker 1: Bulldogs against the Ohio State Buckeyes. This is not an
Speaker 1: NFL playoff game or excuse me, college football playoff game.
Speaker 1: This is a college basketball in it game, and Ohio
Speaker 1: State is an eight and a half point favorite. Ohio
Speaker 1: State are they being coached by their new coach Keebler
Speaker 1: like the Elves, that is his name? I think no,
Speaker 1: Well he goes by goes Okay, sure, Deebler. Is he
Speaker 1: coaching the team or they have something?
Speaker 2: I mean, I am not certain you.
Speaker 1: Remember Deebler played on that team that played US in
Speaker 1: twenty eleven. Like he's not that old, he's got to
Speaker 1: be like young young.
Speaker 2: Yeah, where did you say the spread was that?
Speaker 1: I thought that was high eight and a half, So
Speaker 1: you got to take Georgia right, eight and a half.
Speaker 2: I was really ready to pounce on Ohio State, but
Speaker 2: I thought that numbered be a little tighter. I will
Speaker 2: go with the Georgia Bulldogs. Even though the SEC has
Speaker 2: been absolutely embarrassing in the postseason. It's making me question
Speaker 2: what we know about the SEC at all. But I
Speaker 2: think Georgia at least keeps you with an eight and
Speaker 2: a half here, I'll take THEE.
Speaker 1: I generally have a rule you do not give Georgia
Speaker 1: more than five points on the road in the NAT. Georgia,
Speaker 1: by the way, is on the brochure every year for
Speaker 1: the NAT they've played in the n I I want
Speaker 1: to say thirteen the last fourteen years they are always
Speaker 1: in the N and so exactly they know what this
Speaker 1: is like.
Speaker 2: Their hotels have been booked for a year. Oio State
Speaker 2: thought they'd be in the other one.
Speaker 1: So they already had their hotels in Columbus. I've been
Speaker 1: to Columbus. We ate right outside of Columbus the other
Speaker 1: day two days ago. That's gonna matter. Good job. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Georgia as well to cover. So we're
Speaker 1: on the same side on this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, numbers too high.
Speaker 1: Then tonight, nine o'clock Eastern tear a Hote Indiana. The
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bearcats are going to play Cream Abdul Jabbar in
Speaker 1: the Indiana State Sycamores. Indiana State's a three and a
Speaker 1: half point favorite. What do he got There's.
Speaker 2: No way I don't care what the number is that
Speaker 2: I would be on the wrong side of Cream Abdul Jabbar.
Speaker 2: Make it twenty and a half. I'm believing in him.
Speaker 2: He's the last part of March that I can still
Speaker 2: look at and smile. I can't look at the Sweet
Speaker 2: sixteen and then stall play tournament. I'm still mad at
Speaker 2: that tournament. But Cream Abdul Jabbar in the n IT,
Speaker 2: I can still find some happiness in basketball there and
Speaker 2: I will be rooting for him to cover that Spritain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to take Indiana State obviously because of
Speaker 1: Cream and Robbie of Elyp. But I've found myself probably
Speaker 1: in the last few weeks. I've said the word cream
Speaker 1: more than I've ever said in my life because of him.
Speaker 1: And it's kind of like in the sense that it's
Speaker 1: a gross word. I mean it is cream, cream, not kareem,
Speaker 1: just cream. I'm trying to think what was the moment
Speaker 1: it became a gross word, and I think it was
Speaker 1: the Prince song. Okay, right, I want you to, sometime
Speaker 1: in your spare time go back and watch Prince's video Cream.
Speaker 1: Do you remember it? I do?
Speaker 2: And you're associating that with.
Speaker 1: Well, I know what I'm saying. It is the most
Speaker 1: sexual video that ever played at my house in Middlesbrough,
Speaker 1: And if you go back and watch it, it's kind
Speaker 1: of crazy that that it was played on television and
Speaker 1: that children sang that song. There's a lot of women
Speaker 1: in it, there's a lot well I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: need to tell you. You can go.
Speaker 2: Watch it watching it that's Prince.
Speaker 1: But like the fact that in nineteen ninety one or
Speaker 1: whatever they played that song like during TRL while kids
Speaker 1: were coming home from school, and that video where Prince
Speaker 1: is like at his most sexual, isn't that sort of weird?
Speaker 2: U When you bring up the part that I was
Speaker 2: watching it after school. I never considered it like that
Speaker 2: because I would I'd throw my backpack down, get on
Speaker 2: the couch, watch music videos and that might be the
Speaker 2: first one on the screen that that's a little weird,
Speaker 2: But I mean, Prince is gonna Prince. I mean that
Speaker 2: was a Prince video.
Speaker 1: The Diamonds and Pearls album in general has a lot
Speaker 1: going on. I mean there's the song Diamonds and Pearls,
Speaker 1: which is a beautiful song, but there's also get off,
Speaker 1: let a woman be a woman and a man be
Speaker 1: a man. There's a lot happening on that album, don't
Speaker 1: you think. I feel like when people talk about Prince,
Speaker 1: they leave that album out.
Speaker 2: But I also came up with an era of b
Speaker 2: et uncut and like the Nelly Tip Drove video. So Prince,
Speaker 2: you're a little younger though Prince was pretty I understand that, but.
Speaker 1: Like in nineteen ninety one, I had not seen on
Speaker 1: Basic Cable anything quite like that. And then soon after that,
Speaker 1: Errol Smith comes out with the Sweet Emotion videos like
Speaker 1: the Moment or No, what was the what was the
Speaker 1: Elvis hips? What's he do with those hips? The Sweet
Speaker 1: Emotion video where it's like a sex call in line
Speaker 1: and then that you also had the Alicia Silverstone What
Speaker 1: is that? What was that? That's when she became a
Speaker 1: star from that video. So it's just a lot for
Speaker 1: me to process in eighth grade when I looked like
Speaker 1: cream abdul Jabbar to make to come full circles, all
Speaker 1: of those reasons I pick in Indiana state to cover.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for secous on that trip. I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1: UNLV at Seaton Hall. Seaton Hall's a four and a
Speaker 1: half pointment. You know, if he's got to come all
Speaker 1: the way across the country to where is Seaton Hall?
Speaker 1: What town is?
Speaker 2: I don't know? It's up there?
Speaker 1: Is it in? Is it in Trenton? Let's see to
Speaker 1: go Newark, Newark, Trenton. It's in a place in New Jersey? Uh,
Speaker 1: what do you got?
Speaker 2: What was the spread?
Speaker 3: South Orange, New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Oh that's not a nice place.
Speaker 3: What do you know about South Orange?
Speaker 1: You drive through it on your way to New York
Speaker 1: and it feels like it's one big chemical factory. It is.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be rude, that's just what it
Speaker 1: looks like. Who you got what was.
Speaker 2: My r spread?
Speaker 1: Here? At four and a half I know very well.
Speaker 2: I guess I know, unlv' I'm gonna make up drama
Speaker 2: that doesn't exist. But I keep seeing Shaheen Holloway's name
Speaker 2: popping up places. It's a four and a half point
Speaker 2: favorite here. Even though I have no idea what is
Speaker 2: going on with them, I'll say he's distracted and UNLV covers.
Speaker 2: I feel like I watched ulvs loaded with just familiar names.
Speaker 1: I feel like I watched though they had an n
Speaker 1: I T game at home and a lot of people
Speaker 1: were there, and I feel like people were into it,
Speaker 1: and a lot of the n I T is whether
Speaker 1: or not you care. I feel like they've shown they cared,
Speaker 1: so give me, give me seating Hall wasn't.
Speaker 2: It UNLV though at the fade this at the SEC
Speaker 2: we learned their coach. I mean that was a big
Speaker 2: deal for us, Kevin Krueger. Are you are you turning
Speaker 2: on Kevin Kruger? He's out done with him? Okay taking
Speaker 2: seat and Hall to cover.
Speaker 1: Finally, the Ribs last n I T game VCU and
Speaker 1: Utah again going a long way away. Why didn't they
Speaker 1: just have VCU play Seaton Hall in Utah play UNLV.
Speaker 1: Utah is a six and a half point favorite.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've never done a show and not sided
Speaker 2: with Utah. Even the Mormons think we're two Mormon on
Speaker 2: this podcast sometimes.
Speaker 1: So here's what happened though, by you laid an egg
Speaker 1: in the NCAA tournament. I think I've learned something that
Speaker 1: we need to remember for the future. March is not
Speaker 1: Mormon time.
Speaker 2: They were good football.
Speaker 1: Here's the reason why they are about to go on
Speaker 1: their journeys. You know they're two or I think they.
Speaker 1: I think they leave in April to when they go
Speaker 1: on there? What are they? What are they commissions? What
Speaker 1: are you laughing at? Just so absurd.
Speaker 2: We always get so off tracked trying to talk about
Speaker 2: these games.
Speaker 1: They I'm telling you, I think Mormons go on their
Speaker 1: missions in April that way, like they're accustomed to a
Speaker 1: place by the summer. Okay, So because of that, they're
Speaker 1: going to be distracted because you you I mean, you
Speaker 1: know they get a draw, That's true, they get a
Speaker 1: draw like they go to So my uncle told me
Speaker 1: that when the Vietnam War happened, they had a draft
Speaker 1: on television and I've thought of this a lot, and
Speaker 1: on television they were like if you were born between
Speaker 1: X date they drew out of a hat. An next
Speaker 1: day you have to go to Vietnam. I want to
Speaker 1: see a documentary about that. Can you remember sitting there
Speaker 1: watching and decide if you have Like that's crazy and nervous.
Speaker 1: They do that with the Mormons, except it's not on TV.
Speaker 1: They're like, you drew and you can end up anywhere.
Speaker 1: You can end up in Sweden, you can end up
Speaker 1: in Nairobi, you can end up in New Zealand, and
Speaker 1: you can go or you can end up in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: And if you think about it, that's gonna be very stressful.
Speaker 1: That probably doesn't affect the players, no affect the fans.
Speaker 1: So I'm taking VC. You know, I'm gonna keep riding
Speaker 1: with you. Tom.
Speaker 2: Okay, they heard us in the last round. And you
Speaker 2: make a great case. If this had been a road
Speaker 2: game where they're ready to travel wherever and plant roots
Speaker 2: and set up shop, I would think they'd be going
Speaker 2: into Virginia and on the building. But it's at home.
Speaker 2: So wait, I'm already turning on my own argument here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're good to go. We're going to.
Speaker 1: Like if I told you next week, for the next
Speaker 1: two years, of your life you have to go, and
Speaker 1: it could be anywhere in the world. Wouldn't that be wild?
Speaker 3: Yeah? It reminds me of if you're in the military
Speaker 3: or like an air force base.
Speaker 1: But in the military, you know like there's only a
Speaker 1: handful of choices, like we're not gonna invade Italy or Lincoln, Nebraska. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know, like it could be a handful of countries.
Speaker 1: But with the Mormons, it could be anywhere. You said Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean someone is assigned to Lexington, right, who makes
Speaker 1: that decision?
Speaker 5: Just it's one guy, just like the Australian punter guy.
Speaker 5: He just places people everywhere. This is his whole year
Speaker 5: and he just goes. You know what, you look like
Speaker 5: the kind of guy that goes.
Speaker 1: To Turkmenistad or up there by the way. All of
Speaker 1: this information I got in the Book of Mormon Musical
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure that it was a documentary.
Speaker 2: I have a book of Mormon story. While we're on it,
Speaker 2: I went to buy a ticket, was taking uh, taking
Speaker 2: the wife. We had never even been to a Broadway
Speaker 2: play before. Figured they were sold out, but I thought
Speaker 2: we'd shoot our shot. They said, we have two standing tickets,
Speaker 2: and we stood for three and a half hours and
Speaker 2: at one point, at one point I crouched just a
Speaker 2: small stretch and he tapped me on the back and said,
Speaker 2: stand now. They were close. We were very It was
Speaker 2: a great spot. But you aren't allowed, Tosh.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Oh it was painful. But I saw I stood how
Speaker 2: long it is? Three out whatever it was, stood the
Speaker 2: whole time and you couldn't even like twist your back
Speaker 2: a little bit. You had to like be upright. Well,
Speaker 2: it was a good spot to stand.
Speaker 1: There have been some famous people in that so like
Speaker 1: the one guy Josh uheh. I don't want to get
Speaker 1: it wrong, Gondleman, Gaffleman, he's been in it.
Speaker 2: It's just Josh kat or no whatever.
Speaker 1: It's kind of chubby game with guy. He was the
Speaker 1: first dude in it. Then I think I want to
Speaker 1: say Josh gadd I think the boyfriend on the Show Girls.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm talking about? Negative, I think
Speaker 1: he was the first one in it. And then the King,
Speaker 1: the dude on Saturday Night Live tearing Killiam, he was
Speaker 1: in it too.
Speaker 2: The Jonathan Groff that played the King George. He was
Speaker 2: in a bunch of things.
Speaker 1: What was the guy that was the with Josh Gadd?
Speaker 1: He is the dude. I know you've.
Speaker 2: Said I'm doing Hamilton with the King George. I'm switching
Speaker 2: plays already. What am I talking about?
Speaker 1: You've heard of two plays?
Speaker 2: I keep saying, King George. You look at me.
Speaker 1: Ch was with Josh Gadd in the very first one
Speaker 1: of the Book of Mormon. And see what his name is.
Speaker 1: He was I think in the show Girls, and everyone
Speaker 1: would know his face anyway.
Speaker 2: So with that, you took v and I took Utah,
Speaker 2: all right? While Billy's looking this up, and I recommend
Speaker 2: the standing only tickets. Yeah, I've seen the book more
Speaker 2: than three times, three different casts.
Speaker 1: Always good. Clemson in Arizona Thursday night, West Region LA
Speaker 1: seven o'clock. Arizona is a seven and a half point favorite.
Speaker 1: The ACC has been really, really good so far in
Speaker 1: the tournament. They have only have one loss, and that
Speaker 1: was Virginia. Who you got.
Speaker 2: I'm still taking Arizona seven and a half. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: have Arizona in my final four out of that region.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of banking on that since everything else has
Speaker 2: gone south for me. I'm I'm I still have a
Speaker 2: final four. That's intact. So I will take take them
Speaker 2: with a win here, gokay, leb bluff, I'm gonna take
Speaker 2: air and Cover. I'm gonna take Arizona as well. I'm hesitant,
Speaker 2: but I'm going to because i think they're playing close
Speaker 2: to home. I don't think Clemson will travel. And your
Speaker 2: point about the AEC is very oh though they've been
Speaker 2: shockingly shockingly good. I mean four teams in the sweet sixteen.
Speaker 2: I mean n C State's not even supposed to be
Speaker 2: there eight to.
Speaker 1: One in the tournament as a whole. But with that said,
Speaker 1: I'll take Arizona.
Speaker 3: I had the original cast here, some of the some
Speaker 3: of the.
Speaker 1: Names, Josh Gadden, who's the second one?
Speaker 3: Well, there's a there's a lot here. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Give me to get the main guy.
Speaker 3: Lewis Kleil, Scott Barnhard.
Speaker 1: You're just saying names. I'm talking about the juston Bohan,
Speaker 1: You're you're just saying names. The the original duo. I
Speaker 1: got to teach you how to google. The original duo
Speaker 1: in Book of Mormon is Josh Gadden Andrew Reynolds. All right,
Speaker 1: now look up Andrew he.
Speaker 3: Was next time I list.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah that guy, yes, yes he was. That was the
Speaker 1: first guy, and then he was replaced by the Terran
Speaker 1: dude that's in Saturday night. There we go, all right,
Speaker 1: back to what I was saying one day, Billy will
Speaker 1: be good at googling. Second game, San Diego State Yukon
Speaker 1: rematch the National Championship. Yukon eleven half point favor.
Speaker 2: I just I feel like Yukon's gonna kill them. What
Speaker 2: did they win by? Like fourteen? In the next I
Speaker 2: know San Diego State got within five ish at one point,
Speaker 2: but I just I think this is most of the game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this San Diego. I mean there's a different rosters, but
Speaker 2: I just feel like Yukon's gonna do it again.
Speaker 1: How about this being a rematch the National Championship and
Speaker 1: it's these two teams, Like, give San Diego State a
Speaker 1: lot of credit. They lost like everybody, and they're right
Speaker 1: back here again.
Speaker 2: One thing to consider, I was just reading this earlier.
Speaker 2: They almost went straight from Spokane to Boston. Their travels
Speaker 2: so bad, like they got in they had they played
Speaker 2: the late Sunday night game and Washington went back to
Speaker 2: San Diego and are now going to Boston. They're giving
Speaker 2: us all somewhere. It's the most travel anyone's had to
Speaker 2: do for sweet sixteen. I don't know how much people
Speaker 2: count for that, but I count they are. They are
Speaker 2: moving about the country. Sleep is very important, exactly.
Speaker 1: You need your you need your rest.
Speaker 4: You. Oh.
Speaker 2: Their coach said they had to make the decision to
Speaker 2: even go back home at all.
Speaker 1: Are you dying your beard?
Speaker 2: My dying? My beard knows it?
Speaker 1: Well, no, you used to. I feel like have a
Speaker 1: lot of gray spots.
Speaker 2: Dude, you know, oh light, it's getting very gray. I
Speaker 2: didn't get carted one time in Nashville, and every time
Speaker 2: they just pointed at my chin.
Speaker 1: There's nothing worse than walking in with somebody who gets
Speaker 1: carded and then you don't.
Speaker 2: Oh, it happened a lot. I can't believe you don't
Speaker 2: see them.
Speaker 1: They're bad getting white Now mine grows in so white,
Speaker 1: and I hate it. And I thought about the just
Speaker 1: for men.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can get a little. It gets a little
Speaker 2: like when people die their hair and act like they don't.
Speaker 2: It's a little obvious, right.
Speaker 1: Like a rupe Patino.
Speaker 2: Well, that one went from black to silver to red.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: When somebody in the No, no, of course signing.
Speaker 1: What you mean, do you think it's more embarrassing to
Speaker 1: dye your hair or to have hair plugs?
Speaker 2: I don't think either embarrassing if you're not trying to
Speaker 2: conceal it and neck like you didn't.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you think if you just come out and
Speaker 1: go I got hair plugs?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, check out these hair I mean, don't just
Speaker 2: walk around hey, hey, hey, stranger. I don't know what
Speaker 2: you thinking. This is natural. You know, everyone how to
Speaker 2: act like they you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, like like John Cena got it.
Speaker 1: You know, when John Cena came back to wrestling, he
Speaker 1: had a bald spot, and now he doesn't. Do you
Speaker 1: think he should be required in all interviews to say, look,
Speaker 1: by the way I covered up my bald spot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess it's weird. I mean, you don't wear
Speaker 2: a sign or like put a sign in your yard.
Speaker 2: But all right, so what about two pays? Those are
Speaker 2: the most obvious.
Speaker 1: What's say, you're like Bill's self and you can get
Speaker 1: it to where it looks good.
Speaker 2: His is magical. I don't even know if his is
Speaker 2: a two pay it is I think he went into
Speaker 2: the future and had a procedure we haven't even discovered yet.
Speaker 1: There was a coach at the sweet sixteen, the Kentucky
Speaker 1: High School Sweet sixteen, that I think had the worst
Speaker 1: two pay I've seen in public in a long long time.
Speaker 1: And I hesitate to call him, but you take his picture.
Speaker 1: I mean, no, I'm not like but Ryan tweeted it
Speaker 1: out twice. He tweeted it out twice. It is. I
Speaker 1: can't I can't even describe it, and I don't want to,
Speaker 1: like say who it is, but it's easy to Finn.
Speaker 1: And my thought is when it's that obvious, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I mean, that is like look at that. I mean, like,
Speaker 3: that's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: One. Why if it's like like that, I mean, you
Speaker 1: and I we're not gonna say who. Don't say who.
Speaker 1: There's a famous basketball reporter who it's it's bad. It's
Speaker 1: it's bad. Why, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes they look like someone's literally just holding
Speaker 2: a mop up behind them and they put their head
Speaker 2: up in it. That's when it's bad.
Speaker 1: But do you think it fools some people?
Speaker 2: No, not the bad ones, the real bad ones, like
Speaker 2: the one Billy just showed that's not fooling anyone.
Speaker 3: Remember, like Brian or a Lacker got hair plugs or
Speaker 3: something like that, But he was bald for so long.
Speaker 1: That, I mean, he was completely bald and then he
Speaker 1: got it.
Speaker 3: That's a bad look, I think you do. Yeah, just
Speaker 3: embrace it.
Speaker 1: But like, what's wrong with one that look better?
Speaker 3: I mean, that's not who you are?
Speaker 1: So you're no, it is because you got plucks.
Speaker 3: No, it's artificially put in the billy's going the other way?
Speaker 1: Are you against breast implants? There artificial?
Speaker 3: No, not against breast So what.
Speaker 1: Is the difference between a breast and plant and a
Speaker 1: hair plug?
Speaker 3: His personal preference.
Speaker 1: And then we know what you like. I feel like
Speaker 1: like you would never say that a woman should be
Speaker 1: embarrassed for having breasting plants if they look good.
Speaker 3: But Brian was known for being bald, like that was
Speaker 3: his thing.
Speaker 1: What about Jason Alexander. Jason Alexander has more hair now
Speaker 1: than he did on Seinfeld? Is that all right? Uh?
Speaker 3: I mean naturally if he grew it then yeah. But
Speaker 3: I mean if.
Speaker 1: Ryan Ryan has hair plugs rocks him and he looks better.
Speaker 3: I think that he should embrace whatever.
Speaker 2: He has so you are ten years younger.
Speaker 1: So what do you didn't do one day when an
Speaker 1: endorser comes to you and says, Billy will give you
Speaker 1: hair plugs and ten thousand dollars if you'll endorse it.
Speaker 1: You're gonna do it.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm not losing this this hair.
Speaker 2: Oh he doesn't know, does he?
Speaker 1: Wait a minute?
Speaker 2: You're older.
Speaker 1: Take in the view that you're not going what's your age? Wow?
Speaker 1: Well there was a time that I had hair as
Speaker 1: thick as yours, and mine's not as thick. And Ryan, well,
Speaker 1: Ryan never had hair as thick as minded yours was,
Speaker 1: but Channon used to have a lot thicker hair. I
Speaker 1: have friends who are who like it could happen to you.
Speaker 1: You don't know what cocky.
Speaker 2: You don't know what that temple has in store for
Speaker 2: you next couple decades.
Speaker 1: And if you get caught listen, I'm not gonna gloat,
Speaker 1: but you got cocky there, Bill.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to get hair plugs.
Speaker 2: Let's see the take off the hat. Let's see that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty good. You don't have any signs of.
Speaker 3: This is short.
Speaker 1: You do have good hair. It's the thing you it's
Speaker 1: the thing you do best. In life.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you.
Speaker 2: This is a different fade. This we're doing well on
Speaker 2: hair talk micovers and if anyone out there does their hair,
Speaker 2: has hair plugs, it's okay. Just be open about it.
Speaker 1: Just tell people everywhere you meet, Yukon we're taking.
Speaker 2: That's what we were talking about. Oh yeah, I already did.
Speaker 2: I think Yukon. I just think it's meant for them
Speaker 2: to whop them again.
Speaker 1: Alabama in North Carolina, great Gate. North Caron is a
Speaker 1: three and a half point favorite. I like North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Bit give me North Carolina is my Thursday tippy two
Speaker 1: victory of the week.
Speaker 2: I'll take Alabama. I think North Carolina.
Speaker 1: You're taking North Carolina. I made this my pick of
Speaker 1: the week, and you're taking Alabama.
Speaker 2: I heard you just say it. I'm taking Alabama.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: I think they can keep it. I still think North
Speaker 2: Carolina wins, but I can see this one going down
Speaker 2: the wire. Part of it is I was in Atlanta
Speaker 2: when Kentucky played un C and I saw what happened
Speaker 2: when a team can get up and running and get
Speaker 2: hot against them. So I don't know that Alabama will win,
Speaker 2: but I will take the free points. And what I
Speaker 2: think is a close game.
Speaker 1: All right, we should place a bet on this.
Speaker 3: Mea he was nineteen and thirty two less.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I don't want to. This is your
Speaker 2: one hundred percent confidence in my just next one on
Speaker 2: my sheet?
Speaker 1: Okay, see sorry, so you're not confident, Well, I would
Speaker 1: say bet me because this is my Do you have
Speaker 1: a confident one this week?
Speaker 2: I could pick one that wouldn't be the one I think?
Speaker 1: All right, I'm taking North Carolina and I love it.
Speaker 1: It's my pick of the week. Illinois, Iowa State. Iowa
Speaker 1: State's a one and a half point favorite. My parlay
Speaker 1: guarantee is Iowa State North Carolina. I love Iowa stating
Speaker 1: this one. I think. I think Illinois is playing well
Speaker 1: but slightly overrated. I love Iowa State. They're a one
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. I'm probably going to place
Speaker 1: a significant wager on a parlay with those two teams
Speaker 1: because I like Iowa State a line.
Speaker 2: I filled out two brackets. Both of them have Iowa
Speaker 2: State advancing past this round, even in the the final four.
Speaker 2: So if you're telling me it only lay in one
Speaker 2: and a half to advance, I will take Iowa. I
Speaker 2: was beating Yukon In one of my brackets, I have
Speaker 2: Iowa State in the National Championship losing to Purdue, so
Speaker 2: I will certainly take them a minus one to half.
Speaker 2: Although Illinois has been on fire, I don't know how
Speaker 2: many they've won in a row, but they've got a
Speaker 2: very good offense and very good guard play. So it's
Speaker 2: not a given by any means, but I will side
Speaker 2: with the Iowa State because they were hot in the tournament.
Speaker 2: Fred Hoiberg, Yep, is he still there?
Speaker 1: I think? Is he not?
Speaker 2: No, he's in Nebraska.
Speaker 1: They've got Holtzenburger.
Speaker 2: Great young coach that probably won't be there too much longer.
Speaker 2: I thought you meant he was just going to be
Speaker 2: there cheering.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think I was on part of
Speaker 1: my take Billy, and uh, they asked me. They were like, well,
Speaker 1: what if TJ. Holzenberger was the coach for Kentucky next year?
Speaker 1: And I didn't know who that was.
Speaker 3: Just laughed it off.
Speaker 1: Well, but you're on a national podcast, and you know,
Speaker 1: with them, I didn't know if they were like just
Speaker 1: making a joke.
Speaker 2: Because they try to walk people into that stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, they might, they might. That might be a
Speaker 1: guy that works at barstool, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know who works at Barstool outside of like
Speaker 1: four people. So TJ. Holzenberger sounds like the kind of
Speaker 1: name that would just work at barstool and they'd call
Speaker 1: him Holtzy or something. You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think even Big Kat said it's a wrestler
Speaker 2: when they.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said he did. He said TJ. Holzenberger looks
Speaker 1: like a wrestler. So I'm like, oh, that's probably Holtzy
Speaker 1: that's on their live streams or something, and I go, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, not the guy freaking I want somebody
Speaker 1: that wins. And then only afterwards that I realized he
Speaker 1: was an actual coach for a good team.
Speaker 2: On a lot of people's lists if they could get them.
Speaker 1: So, if you go back and listen to my every
Speaker 1: with part of my take, if you hear me being
Speaker 1: a little hesitant, it's because I didn't know who t J.
Speaker 1: Holtzenberger was, and I genuinely thought he worked at Barstool,
Speaker 1: and I thought I thought they were trying to trick me.
Speaker 2: You know, it'd be an interesting hire because I know
Speaker 2: like five.
Speaker 1: People that work at Barstill, you got Portnoy, Big cat
Speaker 1: pft really fat.
Speaker 3: Guy Frank Frank the tank.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then the dude we met at uh uh
Speaker 1: at the Breeders Cup Jersey jer Jerry. I don't know
Speaker 1: anybody else on And what's the guy that's always on
Speaker 1: my TikTok.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna need more than that.
Speaker 1: He's he always puts his face on there, and he's
Speaker 1: he's funny. He's always on my TikTok.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, and Jack, but there's a new Ski Noil
Speaker 2: and like, is it Jack Mac, Jase Mac?
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are the people I know. And then the
Speaker 1: floating head guys you still have the call he daddy.
Speaker 3: No, she's she does her own thing, okay, not with Barcelona,
Speaker 3: but she still exists.
Speaker 2: Right still very well.
Speaker 1: What's her name?
Speaker 2: Cooper Alexandre.
Speaker 1: And then there's a guy who I don't know, but
Speaker 1: isn't there like a KFC. Yes, Oh, and Brandon Walker.
Speaker 1: I know Brandon Walker hosted, He's hosted KSR. I know,
Speaker 1: But my point is I thought T. J. Hildt worked
Speaker 1: at Barstool.
Speaker 2: He was just part of the team over there.
Speaker 1: N c's We Go to Friday n C State Marquette.
Speaker 1: Marquette is a six and a half point favorite. N
Speaker 1: C State's run has been unbelievable. Five games in the
Speaker 1: a SEC Tournament, two games in the NCAA Tournament, and
Speaker 1: they tend to win by significant margins. And here they
Speaker 1: are getting six and a half. What are you doing?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Marquette, but I know I'm going up
Speaker 2: against a team that just keeps proving people wrong. I
Speaker 2: didn't think NC State would have much left after the
Speaker 2: ACC tournament either, and here they are. The Marquette's looking
Speaker 2: pretty dang good. So I'm gonna take them, but I
Speaker 2: would not be shocked to vinc State just does it again.
Speaker 2: They've been pretty magical. I'm staying away from this game completely.
Speaker 1: I would not bet this game because I have no
Speaker 1: idea what's gonna happen. I do think the Big East
Speaker 1: has been strong, so is the ACC. But if you
Speaker 1: go look at history, eleven seeds that get to the
Speaker 1: sweet sixteen have a pretty poor record. Once they get there,
Speaker 1: teams get another week to prepare. Marquette runs a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that that's gonna be great for DJ Burns.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with you and go with Marquette,
Speaker 1: but I don't I'm not confident about it.
Speaker 2: Did you see them bring these Sunday out to DJ
Speaker 2: Burns in his postgame interview?
Speaker 1: That was really offensive?
Speaker 2: And did I granted, I don't think they think I
Speaker 2: even had sound on. I just saw them and the
Speaker 2: man of Sunday. Did they do that for everyone else?
Speaker 2: I hope they did.
Speaker 1: I don't get offended like I mean, I literally like,
Speaker 1: I don't get offended like I get that people that
Speaker 1: are like overweight. I guess I even said that about
Speaker 1: the first of all. Shout out to the frank guy.
Speaker 1: How much weight he's lost? Yeah, doesn't he walk all
Speaker 1: the time? And he seems like shout out to him.
Speaker 1: He seems like a good dude. So shout out to
Speaker 1: that guy. But I can't believe you would give a
Speaker 1: guy a Sunday when it's over like he.
Speaker 2: Like he He did not seem to like it. He
Speaker 2: looked at it like what is this? And then he
Speaker 2: immediately walked overhanded to someone in the crowd that Billy.
Speaker 3: I did not did not see it.
Speaker 1: After the game was over, they just gave him a Sunday.
Speaker 1: Like the reason I think just because he's like Chubby
Speaker 1: is he's bigger. Yeah, I think that's why they did it.
Speaker 1: They want why else would they do it?
Speaker 3: Get video of him eating the ice cream.
Speaker 1: I think they thought it was funny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a little poor form if you ask me.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not like, I don't tend to get
Speaker 1: a fit, but that's kind of offensive, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Unless there's like a story I'm missing where he has
Speaker 2: like a celbratory ice cream something that went on that
Speaker 2: I don't know about. But if they're just like, oh.
Speaker 1: No, maybe if he likes if it's known, then he
Speaker 1: celebrates a Sunday every day at it. It's just like, hey,
Speaker 1: chuvy guy, here's some ice cream. Like they that was
Speaker 1: kind of rude, don't and he just.
Speaker 2: Like I said, he just walks over hands it to
Speaker 2: someone like I don't want this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. Gonzaga Purdue. Purdue's a five and a
Speaker 1: half point favorite.
Speaker 2: Gonzaga was kind of my early team I liked for
Speaker 2: the tournament. I even bet them making the Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 2: I'm so conflicted on Purdue. I mean, in one bracket
Speaker 2: I sinning the championship, but it looks yeah, and in
Speaker 2: the back of my mind, I'm thinking it's Purdue I'll
Speaker 2: trust him here, but this is one like I just
Speaker 2: said with Marquette in C State. No, there's not really
Speaker 2: an outcome that will surprise me because Gonzaga has seemed
Speaker 2: to fund it at the right time as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean not. I feel like I feel like
Speaker 1: the good thing for Purdue is they're in a bracket
Speaker 1: full of teams that play the way they do, which
Speaker 1: is good for them, right, including Gonzaga. Gonzaga is not
Speaker 1: super athletic, So I'm gonna take Purdue. I feel like
Speaker 1: I've picked all favorites. Maybe I have, you have well,
Speaker 1: but I mean the favorites have done so well so far.
Speaker 2: These for the most part, have been fairly small numbers too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I feel like maybe taking all favorites again.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I'm taking Perdue because I
Speaker 1: don't see Gonzaga beating them, and if you're gonna it's
Speaker 1: only five and a half. I think I'm gonna take Purdue.
Speaker 2: Yep, I'll take Purdue.

Speaker 1: Just before we tape this podcast, I had to be
Speaker 1: a forty minute zoom session to become the voice of
Speaker 1: the DK Horse app.
Speaker 2: We've recorded a lot of ads for lots of places.
Speaker 2: This sounds like it had a lot.
Speaker 1: Of forty piece forty minutes long, six different people on zoom,
Speaker 1: all with suggestions on how to do it.
Speaker 2: In past ads for whatever you've done, have you ever
Speaker 2: had more than two people involved.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever done more than two
Speaker 1: takes of any ad in my life, and I think
Speaker 1: I did twenty. The crown is yours put an emphasis
Speaker 1: on yours, and I was like, the crown is yours again,
Speaker 1: the crown is yours, the crown he's yours. It was
Speaker 1: watching you. They were just watching me and then like
Speaker 1: critiquing what I said, and they also I record the
Speaker 1: first one and then we heard the music in the
Speaker 1: background drove and the music in the background is like
Speaker 1: Turner and I was like, DK DK horse is your
Speaker 1: place for horse racing.
Speaker 2: That wasn't good enough to again another.
Speaker 1: One DK Horse, But I think when it got done, Billy,
Speaker 1: I think it was.
Speaker 3: Good, and I thought it was great. I thought my
Speaker 3: head might explode.
Speaker 1: Billy was getting much more frustrated than I was. I
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna take forever I've done. I did
Speaker 1: a TV commercial once and it took like two and
Speaker 1: a half hours, and at the end I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't even want to buy this, and I'm in it.
Speaker 2: That just reminds me when I was leaving here earlier.
Speaker 2: You asked Billy how long it'll take and he I
Speaker 2: heard him say no more than ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he was not right.
Speaker 3: We had one thirty second spot to do and one
Speaker 3: fifteen second it's.
Speaker 2: Gonna be a good one. That's that's how much you
Speaker 2: care about draft Kings. You want to get it right.
Speaker 1: Listen, I love I love Draft Kings and DK Horse
Speaker 1: and DK Horse is great, Toka sportsbook, DK bars everything.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm listen, I'm a draft king. But I will
Speaker 1: tell you it's a lot of takes. So when you
Speaker 1: that ad will pop up for all of you at
Speaker 1: some point as we get close to the derby, just
Speaker 1: know what sweat went into it.
Speaker 2: Did they take into account that you hit our aready
Speaker 2: done a fade this that was off the books about
Speaker 2: round two tournament and how tired you might be from
Speaker 2: doing your imaginary fade this. This is a lot of
Speaker 2: talking you've had to do, and you added a bonus
Speaker 2: episode without telling anyone else.
Speaker 1: Fourteen to two.
Speaker 2: Though it's pretty good, it's I mean, the record is
Speaker 2: the only thing that's keeping us from being mad that
Speaker 2: you did an episode without us.
Speaker 1: Duke in Houston probably the game of the tournament. Jim
Speaker 1: Nance will sitting on the side. They showed Jim Nance
Speaker 1: a lot during that Houston game the other night. See
Speaker 1: that big a star's.
Speaker 2: First one without him, he can finally be a fan.
Speaker 2: It's a pretty big deal, Philly.
Speaker 1: I think you. But you know we have new Have
Speaker 1: you ever heard the story about Jim Nance and him
Speaker 1: giving us the pen? No?
Speaker 3: No, I have not heard this.
Speaker 1: A lot of people listen to this have heard it,
Speaker 1: but it is it's been a while. So in twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: Drew and I went to the Final four and it
Speaker 1: was the Practice, the open Practice before War and Jim Nance.
Speaker 1: We were doing a podcast during the open press, just
Speaker 1: like we did for UH for this last week, and
Speaker 1: Jim Nance walks up to us and I go, hey,
Speaker 1: Jim Nance, I'm Matt Jones TREF. We were very excited,
Speaker 1: remember oh yeah, And we asked him to sit down
Speaker 1: and he did, and he goes, so, you guys are
Speaker 1: Kentucky guys, right, And I said yeah, and he goes,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm doing my Kentucky prep. I remember, this
Speaker 1: is Anthony Davis is the year, like Kentucky was number
Speaker 1: one most of the year. And he looks at us
Speaker 1: and he goes, I need some facts for Kentucky. He's like,
Speaker 1: got you facts, and Drew and I we were a
Speaker 1: little nervous.
Speaker 2: Right of course it's Jim Nance, Jim Nance.
Speaker 1: And so I go out, I mean the obvious one,
Speaker 1: you know, Anthony Davis is the un to Brow. And
Speaker 1: he goes, well, why do they call him that? And
Speaker 1: I thought he was d I mean I thought he
Speaker 1: had to be kidding, right because.
Speaker 2: This is already on T shirts everywhere, Brow downhere.
Speaker 1: All this and I go, well, he has a UNI
Speaker 1: and he goes, really, okay, I hadn't noticed that.
Speaker 3: I hadn't noticed the brow.
Speaker 1: He hadn't noticed it. This is the most this is
Speaker 1: the national player of the year. Okay whatever. Then he goes, so,
Speaker 1: now it was what level we're dealing with? Having paid attention?
Speaker 1: So you know Marcus Tigue, you know, his brother's in
Speaker 1: the NBA and he goes who and I think Drew
Speaker 1: said Lebron James.
Speaker 2: Had thrown up there.
Speaker 1: And when he I was like, Jeff t oh okay,
Speaker 1: and he writes it down and if you listen to broadcast,
Speaker 1: he brings both of those things up Billy like, he's
Speaker 1: like he discovered it right, Uh huh.
Speaker 2: I Also remember we were saying something about point guards.
Speaker 2: You're like, cow Perry has a good history point guards,
Speaker 2: and we're like, yeah, pretty much all of them.
Speaker 1: But Derek Rose, Tyreek Avit's John Wall and Brandon Knight.
Speaker 1: And I go, you know Marcus t you know, he's
Speaker 1: kind of the next in the line of cal point guards.
Speaker 1: And he was like, oh yeah, Cow's good with point guards.
Speaker 1: I want to be like, you've called hello? Is anyone
Speaker 1: called all these? So when it's over, he's he was
Speaker 1: a nice guy. He goes, you know, guys, I really
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Tomorrow, I'm gonna have a present for you.
Speaker 1: Oh the present, you know, at the time, I'm thinking, man, like,
Speaker 1: are we talking like thousand dollars? He comes in the
Speaker 1: next day and he has two little lapel pins and
Speaker 1: they both say hello friends. Wow.
Speaker 3: On the pen it says hello friends, on the pen.
Speaker 1: It says hello friends, and he hands me and Drew
Speaker 1: a Hello friends pen.
Speaker 2: I know exactly where mine is at home.
Speaker 1: I do too. I still I still have It's on
Speaker 1: my press credential from the twelve Final.
Speaker 2: Four us as funny as it's not really funny, but
Speaker 2: we were just shocked that he didn't know some obvious things.
Speaker 2: The fact that Jim Nantz took the time to do
Speaker 2: that day find us.
Speaker 1: He went and found us to give us the pins.
Speaker 1: He was very, very nice. He then came on the
Speaker 1: pregame show for the game. He sat down with us
Speaker 1: and did so. I I it sounds like I'm mock anding.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to, but it was kind of hilarious, right,
Speaker 1: And it also felt.
Speaker 2: Like can we just feed him anything for I'm like,
Speaker 2: can I just can we talk trash about Louisville?
Speaker 1: Can I?
Speaker 2: Can I just tell him anything? He'll say it at
Speaker 2: this point because he was like writing down our notes.
Speaker 1: I feel like I would say, you know, Rip Patino,
Speaker 1: he used to coach Kentucky. You know Louisville place. Kay,
Speaker 1: they're in the same stay. Well, people don't realize.
Speaker 2: That I really do know exactly where that pen Is.
Speaker 2: So hello, friends, you never heard that story.
Speaker 3: I think I heard the part about Anthony Davis and
Speaker 3: the brow. But yeah, talk about lack of preparation, Jim.
Speaker 2: Is there any chance on the inside he do you
Speaker 2: think he was like do these guys think I'm idiots
Speaker 2: and he's just like.
Speaker 1: I think he just is like lives. You know, this
Speaker 1: year he's not it's the first final four. He's not coming, right.
Speaker 1: But here's what's crazy. He's still coming to present the trophy.
Speaker 1: Why I think he I think he thinks.
Speaker 3: That like he is the final four.
Speaker 1: No, but like that it'll be more special if he's there,
Speaker 1: if he's the one that presents the trophy. I didn't
Speaker 1: know he's doing that. He didn't give him the tie away.
Speaker 1: They're late in the career too. You know he does that.
Speaker 1: Did you know that he gives the.
Speaker 2: Tie of Darius Miller or Derek Willis got the tie?
Speaker 2: One of them, I can't remember. One of them played
Speaker 2: a good game and got the tie. Probably he likes
Speaker 2: to give the ties away. I think j Bill is
Speaker 2: giving his shoes away. It's also weird, like I.
Speaker 1: Don't want to because they're nice shoes, Like it's not
Speaker 1: like he gives like Jordan's away. He gives like his
Speaker 1: little you know, beat up hookahs away to people at
Speaker 1: the game day.
Speaker 3: Dirty White, what do you I mean.
Speaker 1: I'd like to do that. Just take things out of
Speaker 1: my closet. I don't even hand them to people and
Speaker 1: go youre get rid of this.
Speaker 2: When most people do that, they just go to goodwill.
Speaker 1: He goes to goes to game day and just hand
Speaker 1: things he wants to get rid of.
Speaker 2: The kids outgrew this. Peter Mallar Blazer Duke in Houston.
Speaker 1: Duke is a four and a half point fav.
Speaker 2: Oh. Before I watched the how they've each played in
Speaker 2: the last round, I would have been heavy on Houston.
Speaker 2: But I'll side with Duke because they were all over
Speaker 2: James Madison from the jump and Houston kind of had
Speaker 2: to fight for their game. I still think Houston advances,
Speaker 2: but like I said with Alabama North Carolina, I'll just
Speaker 2: take the points in this one thinking it's going to
Speaker 2: be close.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like Houston, though I think Houston. I think
Speaker 1: Duke's kind of soft. I mean, think about it. To
Speaker 1: get this far, they beat Vermont and James Madison right,
Speaker 1: so they haven't played a good team, yet I think
Speaker 1: Houston's the opposite of soft. I think to beat Houston
Speaker 1: you have to like out tough them, which A and
Speaker 1: M came close to doing. So I like Houston. I
Speaker 1: think Houston is. I like that one a lot. And
Speaker 1: then the last game, I have no idea what to do.
Speaker 1: Tennessee's a two and a half point favor against Creighton.
Speaker 1: This is the biggest flip a coin to me of
Speaker 1: all time. This is so hard as a Tennessee hater.
Speaker 1: Anytime I'm betting Duke Louisville Tennessee, I cannot turn off
Speaker 1: my hatred.
Speaker 2: I want to take Creighton, but I'm acknowledging it's because
Speaker 2: I don't want any satisfaction for Tennessee. I think I'll
Speaker 2: take the balls if I can turn that off. They're
Speaker 2: pretty complete, and I mean Dalton connect He's the type
Speaker 2: of player that can just be an NCAA tournament star.
Speaker 2: So I will have them advancing in this one and covering,
Speaker 2: but I will be rooting hard for Creighton.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna take Tennessee. I think Tennessee's playing really
Speaker 1: really well. I mean, I know we beat him at
Speaker 1: the ID know he lost Mississippi State, but like when
Speaker 1: they're zeroed in, I think Creighton's good. I think the
Speaker 1: Connect versus the Shireman is a cool matchup, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take Connect. I think he's a little bit better.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take Connect.
Speaker 2: And Ziegeler even though he's not a great scoring guard.
Speaker 2: I mean he's a guy I think you can trust.
Speaker 2: And then Viscovie next to him was a dude like forty.
Speaker 2: I don't like to admit how balanced Tennessee looks as
Speaker 2: a as a Tennessee hater.
Speaker 1: Before we go, I just saw this come on. The
Speaker 1: Washington State athletic director Pat Chune is leaving to become
Speaker 1: the athletic director at Washington.
Speaker 2: That seems messy.
Speaker 1: Isn't that brutal? I mean, I get it, no loyalty,
Speaker 1: Washington's gonna be in the big ten. Washington State is
Speaker 1: now in the Mountain West again. But man, if you're
Speaker 1: a Washington State fan, are you just like middle fingers
Speaker 1: up to that guy? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean he left you once kind of on the
Speaker 2: way up, and then the other's way on the way
Speaker 2: down and he just jumps side.
Speaker 1: I mean that would be like the Louisville ad leaving
Speaker 1: and coming to Kentucky. You know what I mean, Their
Speaker 1: fans would like lose their minds.
Speaker 2: We would lose our minds too if that's never happened.
Speaker 2: But I know what you're saying.
Speaker 1: But I mean he would like our ad leaving for Louisville,
Speaker 1: but would be weird because we're in the better conference.
Speaker 1: But like, what if their ad left for us? That
Speaker 1: would be.
Speaker 2: Crazy jumping in a rivalry.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I hope everybody enjoyed the episode as much
Speaker 1: as you enjoyed my episode that I recorded Friday night.
Speaker 1: What were You again? Fourteen and two two losses zero
Speaker 1: and zero Oregon, I gotta be better. I got I
Speaker 1: missed organ because I thought they'd beat Creating, and then
Speaker 1: I missed Baylor Clemson. The other fourteen though, were Judy
Speaker 1: totals props? Do you hit those? We know I'm not totalsky.
Speaker 1: I'm more like against the spread you probably. I just
Speaker 1: want everybody to be able to want everybody to be
Speaker 1: able to to share my victory.
Speaker 2: Understand Well, congrats on the fourteen to two.
Speaker 1: So hopefully well we'll be as good this time. And Billy,
Speaker 1: thank you for helping record the DK.
Speaker 3: Horse commercial absolutely so, thank you.
Speaker 1: All very much. We will come back for the final
Speaker 1: four and then I'm open to ideas of what do
Speaker 1: we do for the rest of the spring.
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, we don't talk about sports. We'll just
Speaker 2: call it fade this discussion. I am getting into baseball
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 1: So much.
Speaker 2: I want baseball.
Speaker 1: Frankie montass on the Hill for the Reds.
Speaker 2: So you're gonna be there?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I hate Opening Day though for the Reds.
Speaker 1: There's so many people there and.
Speaker 3: It's they shut up down up there.
Speaker 1: I'm much happier when everybody's not there than when they are.
Speaker 1: But it will be. It is a great vine, so
