0:15

Welcome everybody. It is Fade. This

0:17

the Sweet sixteen episode

0:21

here on well,

0:23

the week of the twenty fifth. It's the twenty

0:25

sixth. I think it's the actual day, but it's

0:28

a Sweet sixteen Elite eight week after

0:30

an exciting first round of

0:32

the NCAA tournament. We're sponsored by DraftKings.

0:35

You know, you go to DraftKings, you do your thing.

0:38

You get to place wagers on the games.

0:41

I did drew all

0:43

weekend. You know, when Kentucky

0:46

loses, like, what are you gonna do? You know, the only thing

0:48

left to do is play some wagers. And I

0:50

was awful for the vast

0:53

majority of the weekend. But then but then on

0:55

Saturday, five team

0:57

money line parlay with North

1:00

Carolina come on and raise up Arizona,

1:03

Tennessee in c State and

1:06

somebody else. I can't remember who the other one was, but I

1:08

did a five team money line parlay. I

1:10

think maybe Iowa State hit it and

1:13

then got right back on track. So the

1:14

weekend was even. I probably placed

1:16

thirty wagers and ended up right back where I was

1:19

when I started. So you're back ready for a new

1:21

week. I'm not in the same boat as you.

1:23

My boat is taking on water might

1:26

be at the bottom of the sea. I

1:28

started the tournament betting in Mississippi

1:30

State that first game, and I thought, you know what, we

1:32

can't win every bet with that. One of the first one that

1:35

was over in a matter of minutes. Later

1:38

that night, I lost. I guess four

1:40

consecutive bets. I had Kentucky

1:42

to the sweet sixteen, Kentucky to the lead,

1:44

eight Kentucky to the final, four, Kentucky.

1:47

To the National Championship in Kentuck. Five bets

1:49

Kentucky to win the championship lost. All of those

1:51

were all dead with Mississippi State. The sun

1:53

went down on night one, so I'm still crawling

1:55

out of a hole.

1:56

Yeah, I lost a lot on that too. That

1:59

but you know, favorites the day the favorites

2:01

went like eight to oh boy,

2:05

was betting all favorites. I really

2:07

feel like round two is

2:09

where you separate the wheat from

2:11

the chaff when it comes to game because

2:14

round one, you know, there's

2:16

surprises, you get your six eleven, seven

2:19

tens that are hard, but in round two there's a discrepancy

2:21

in who's good between round one and round two. And

2:24

I think if you really like you focus

2:27

in you hone in you can

2:29

make it happen. If it wasn't for Baylor, this

2:32

would have been I'd have had a sunny Sunday money

2:35

line parley where they had me come and smack

2:37

Billy right across the head. I would have been so excited.

2:40

You don't seem very excited about that Billy for.

2:43

A smack on the head now, But it would have been

2:45

out of happiness, you said along twenty four hours

2:47

over there. Yeah, you uh set

2:50

the same scene.

2:50

Yeah you were. You were producing the John Caliperry

2:53

will he or won't e? Show last night.

2:55

And I tell you what, heart outs don't care how much

2:57

millions of dollars you make.

2:58

A year for those of you listening across the country. They just

3:01

cutkel off in the final sentence. They meaning

3:03

Billy, Billy got to hit the button. Billy, you got to

3:05

hit the button that told John cal Perry to shut

3:07

up. No one's ever been able to do that before, but you

3:10

no, yep.

3:10

And then I apologized to Tom, and apparently

3:12

my comments went over the stream, so everybody heard

3:15

me say, sorry, Tom,

3:18

Sorry, I didn't hear you.

3:20

Have us back to your money

3:22

line parlays, I usually do that

3:24

every year and didn't this year, and this feels like the year.

3:26

Round two is the round two swin to do it.

3:29

Round two, Round

3:31

two money. Like I said, I hit a five teamer

3:33

on Saturday, and I hit four or five on Sunday.

3:35

Baylor lost and that knocked me out. But you

3:38

that's the day to the day to

3:40

do it because I think the discrepancy,

3:43

in my opinion, like I said,

3:45

the wheat sheep separates from the chaft, So you

3:48

had. Yukon looked awesome in round

3:50

two, Perdue looked awesome. In round

3:52

two. Houston looked awesome for a while, and

3:54

then A and M made that comeback. Tennessee

3:57

looked awesome. Like I kind of

3:59

feel like the team teams that really have a

4:01

chance to win the national championship,

4:03

they all North Carolina. They all kind of

4:05

shifted into a higher gear in round two.

4:08

My five teams were the four one seeds

4:10

in Tennessee. I still feel good about

4:13

that. I'm a little worried I

4:15

left out Iowa State, but otherwise I feel

4:17

good about it.

4:17

I would say it ad a strong finish and I think

4:19

there really is something too in that

4:22

second weekend. Once teams just

4:24

get that one out of the way, shake off those

4:26

nerves a little bit, see one go in, get one

4:28

win, even if you were a heavy favorite. I think

4:30

that's when you start to see the as

4:32

you call it, wheat and chaff in this scenario. That's

4:34

where their second round they play really well, which is why

4:37

not to stay Kentucky centric. I thought, if

4:39

they could get past Oakland, maybe

4:41

just shake that stuff off in Kentucky could have been one of those dominant

4:43

teams. But you see what happens when you don't play well in that round

4:45

one.

4:46

You could have shaken it.

4:47

Off, shake it off, to shake off

4:49

those l's.

4:50

So I know I

4:52

started. So we picked every

4:54

game against the spread in the first round last

4:56

week. I know I started zero to four

4:59

and I thought to myself, this

5:02

is going to be bad. When I asked Billy what

5:04

the final numbers are because we didn't get to pick

5:06

the second round games. So

5:08

I'm hesitant to ask Billy how we

5:10

did last week because I feel like it's not

5:13

going to be good and we haven't talked about it.

5:15

So Billy, first of all, let's do Drew first.

5:18

How did Drew do last week?

5:19

Drew when a very healthy nineteen

5:21

of thirty two when it comes to the.

5:23

Round the nineteen and thirty.

5:26

That's very good. Congratulations.

5:29

I wish what I was putting

5:31

my money on lined up with what I picked here.

5:33

But I was six units. As the kids

5:35

would say, good for you, Thank

5:37

you? All right? Now, how did I do? Matt?

5:40

You were twelve of thirty two in

5:42

this instance, twelve

5:45

and twenty.

5:47

You want to redo those, you want to add them

5:49

again? I feel like you might have missed a

5:51

couple.

5:52

I mean, we can go through the list.

5:53

Because I made more money than Drew in real life,

5:55

I don't think you could have.

5:57

Most of my money was on Kentucky.

5:59

Read me a couple of the losses and

6:01

I'll see if you got it right for you.

6:03

Yeah, you lost Mississippi State.

6:05

Well, no, give me the ones Drew got right that

6:08

I got wrong, because I want to.

6:09

Make sure you took Akron over Creighton.

6:11

Don't remember that you took Nevada

6:14

over Dayton. Did you

6:16

took Saint Peter's a plus twenty one

6:19

and a half? Why did it against Tennessee?

6:20

Why did I take Saint Peter's plus twenty one and a

6:22

half.

6:23

That was a tough one. Tennessee feels like a team

6:25

that's gonna, you know, run up the score on

6:27

on those teams then fizzle out.

6:29

It was a dumb decision. What's the next one. I think you got

6:31

one of these wrong.

6:32

N C State got you. You took Texas

6:34

Tech. I took Texas Tech to cover minus

6:37

five.

6:40

You also practicing in front of us when you made

6:42

the pick. I think that's why you.

6:44

Had Auburn over Yale.

6:45

And really it's not your fault.

6:46

It's over Yale that one. That's

6:48

should I knew that one. Okay.

6:50

You took Nebraska over in A A and M.

6:52

Yeah, I thought they were going to win their first.

6:53

You took Charleston over Bama,

6:57

and you took Wisconsin over JMU.

7:01

Why did I do that? I put JMU in my bracket.

7:03

I should have talked to you. Way too much emphasis on

7:06

the proximity of the media cruise

7:09

to their games. You're

7:11

really worried about media teams the

7:13

last round, Ducaine, you had no

7:15

faith in them. I know you didn't

7:18

think they could even get to the game. They were so busy

7:20

with responsibilities.

7:21

All right, So twelve or thirty two, I

7:24

mean that's objectively, I

7:27

mean it's good it's not faith. It's

7:30

not but it's not. It's not like listen

7:32

to the podcast and you're gonna follow

7:34

the picks. Good. But you know what

7:37

the second round, which we didn't

7:39

air, I didn't really what we

7:41

did. Did you do this in the shower?

7:44

Well, I mean I do it. I did it in my head. I was like, oh,

7:46

going to pick this one, and

7:49

those were I think fourteen and two. So go ahead,

7:51

I'm gonna do like Trump and his golf tournament. Go ahead

7:53

and award me the winner of the second

7:55

round. Okay, Drew gets the winner

7:58

of the first round. I did zero's. I didn't.

7:59

I didn't know we were doing an imaginary episode, so

8:01

I did not make any second round picks

8:04

in my head. Yeah, that's good. Fourteen and

8:06

two? What were your two losses were?

8:09

Baylor and uh actually

8:11

fifteen to one? Wow?

8:14

What a what a round? Two?

8:15

Over here? Actually, let me look, because you know I want

8:17

to be objective, let's look here. Yeah,

8:20

I had Arizona, I had Gonzaga.

8:23

I had North Carolina, I had Iowa

8:25

State, I had NC State.

8:27

This is on record. I had Tennessee, I

8:30

had Illinois. I

8:32

don't think I would have gotten Creighton. So let's

8:34

say seven and one Saturday. I'm being generous.

8:37

Okay, all right, now, let's go to

8:39

Sunday. Uh, Colorado

8:42

covered. I would have bet Colorado covered.

8:45

I think I'm good with that. Purdue, yes, Duke,

8:47

Yes, Clemson I got wrong, Alabama

8:50

yes, Yukon Yes, A

8:53

and M. I actually bet for real

8:55

to cover and they did.

8:57

You had the first round though, so how'd you have?

9:00

Yeah, have to bet again? So yeah,

9:02

I think fourteen and two is objectively

9:04

what I had. That lost episode. It would

9:06

have made a lot of money for people. It's a shame.

9:09

It's just out there floating around

9:11

with Easter Bunny.

9:12

You know. Look, here's the thing. Got

9:14

back Friday. We got back Friday. I

9:18

did the episode by myself in the house.

9:20

I just think I was just pretty much that whole time.

9:22

We could have done an episode.

9:23

I know, I just forgot to hit record.

9:26

Okay that happened. Listen

9:28

did did Billy call us a state in this

9:30

dream?

9:33

What else did we talk about? How did

9:35

you record and then get it?

9:36

Well that was a problem. I tried to record on my phone. Oh

9:38

yeah, and I accidentally I didn't hit

9:40

south.

9:41

Look, there's gonna call you a liar, So I guess I'm

9:43

down fourteen zero for

9:45

me.

9:45

So if I was twelve and twenty and then I went

9:48

fourteen and two, I think I'm

9:50

twenty six twenty two, it's

9:54

pretty good. Pretty good.

9:55

I think I'm still winning percentage for myself.

9:58

Well, what you don't remember? You went say?

10:03

I also recorded what you would have picked.

10:06

Okay, I gotta find this episode.

10:09

Did you rank any Ernest.

10:10

P worrel movies? I did

10:14

not. As we're about to record this, Richard

10:16

Patino, as we has emerged

10:19

as the favorite for the Louisville

10:21

job. I think Louisville

10:25

just does what they do for comedy.

10:27

I just want to on the national level, help you understand

10:30

what happened yesterday The

10:32

Louisville color radio announcer came

10:34

out and said that the coach of Indiana

10:37

State told him that

10:39

the coach of Michigan got death threats

10:42

when he was almost going to be the

10:45

Louisville coach. And

10:47

then later that day the Louisville Color

10:49

play color guy said,

10:52

maybe it was me that said that, not the

10:54

Indiana State coach. I can't remember.

10:57

Maybe, I mean,

10:59

who really cares? Who said death threats?

11:03

Could have been his, matter could have been

11:05

him, It could have been me.

11:07

I could have been mad on.

11:08

The podcast week Who knows

11:11

that's what it was.

11:12

I just I love that

11:15

that would be the equivalent of like me,

11:18

you know, going up to say I

11:20

don't know John Calperry

11:23

and going and we have a conversation.

11:26

Now come on the air and go. John Calperry

11:28

told me that Danny

11:30

Hurley is a communist

11:33

sympathizer and

11:35

that might make news. And then when they asked

11:38

me about it, go, well, it might have been me that said

11:40

that happened to

11:43

to caliper I'm not sure, looked furious

11:45

and told me not to say that. Let's not get

11:47

into the details of who said what when

11:51

I mean only Louisville. And then the next day

11:54

they're contemplating hiring a

11:57

person whose father, just

11:59

fo five years ago sued the same

12:02

school for forty million dollars.

12:06

It's brilliant. They

12:09

only exist for like

12:11

to entertain me in my brain and not on the basketball.

12:13

It's on things like this, and they they

12:16

just keep getting better and better. When I think they've run

12:18

out of things that we find hilarious and can

12:20

mock on our radio show and blog about

12:22

they do things like hire Richard Patino.

12:26

Does this mean Rick will come back and hang out?

12:28

I mean, will he be in the YOUM Center

12:30

again once he retires? Just is

12:32

he just gonna be around Louisville.

12:33

I don't know. Someone close to the program

12:36

just told me. Now I remember Jody Dimling is reporting

12:38

he's the favorite, and Jody Dimlin is

12:40

very close to the program. Someone else, who doesn't want

12:42

me to say, who's also very close to the program, told

12:44

me there's no way in hell Rick Patino would let

12:47

his son.

12:48

I thought it was pretty still nasty

12:50

there between Rick and the old school.

12:52

So I love it, impe

12:54

Rick Patino doesn't want him to do it. Richard

12:58

does it anyway, and

13:00

then they get in a fun that

13:03

would be the only way it would make

13:05

it better.

13:07

Oh, I mean, it felt like Dusty May was

13:09

to pick just a little bitgre that was

13:12

death fake death threats ago and now they're

13:14

down to to Richard Patino.

13:16

I was talking, I was talking to Rick Patino

13:19

on my Round two podcast, Now

13:23

that makes sense, and he said he

13:25

didn't want Richard to take the job. Or

13:28

maybe it was me. I can't I can't

13:30

remember who said it. We gotta find this

13:32

episode. We do, all right, so we're gonna

13:34

go to Sweet sixteen. There

13:37

are eight games,

13:39

so not as many games, so we get

13:41

to really dive into them in

13:43

detail. But I also don't want to

13:45

cheat our listeners of knowledge.

13:48

So the n I T is also going on. So

13:50

I'm gonna throw you a little curveball.

13:52

We're gonna start with the n I T.

13:54

Start with the n I T, and we will

13:57

begin with the games tonight. Now by the

13:59

time you listen this, it

14:01

may be these games are probably

14:03

over, so you'll know whether

14:06

or not we continued our hot streak. Now

14:09

we'll start with the quarterfinal matchup in Columbus,

14:12

the Georgia Bulldogs against the

14:14

Ohio State Buckeyes. This is not an NFL

14:16

playoff game or excuse me, college football playoff

14:19

game. This is a college basketball in

14:21

it game, and Ohio State is

14:23

an eight and a half point favorite. Ohio

14:25

State are they being coached by

14:27

their new coach Keebler like

14:30

the Elves,

14:32

that is his name? I think no,

14:35

Well he goes by goes Okay,

14:38

sure, Deebler. Is he coaching

14:40

the team or they have something?

14:41

I mean, I am not certain you.

14:43

Remember Deebler played on that team that played

14:45

US in twenty eleven. Like he's not that old,

14:47

he's got to be like young young.

14:49

Yeah, where did you say the spread was that?

14:51

I thought that was high eight

14:53

and a half, So you got to take

14:55

Georgia right, eight and a half.

14:57

I was really ready to pounce on Ohio State,

14:59

but I thought that numbered be a little tighter. I will go

15:01

with the Georgia Bulldogs. Even though the

15:03

SEC has been absolutely embarrassing

15:06

in the postseason. It's making me

15:08

question what we know about the SEC at all.

15:10

But I think Georgia at least keeps you with an eight and

15:12

a half here, I'll take THEE.

15:13

I generally have a rule you

15:16

do not give Georgia

15:19

more than five points on the road in the NAT. Georgia,

15:22

by the way, is on

15:25

the brochure every year for the NAT they've

15:29

played in the n I I want to say thirteen

15:31

the last fourteen years they are always in the

15:33

N and

15:36

so exactly they know what this

15:38

is like.

15:39

Their hotels have been booked for a year. Oio

15:41

State thought they'd be in the other one.

15:45

So they already had their hotels in Columbus.

15:49

I've been to Columbus. We ate right outside

15:51

of Columbus the other day two days ago. That's

15:53

gonna matter. Good job. So I'm gonna

15:55

take Georgia as well to cover. So we're

15:57

on the same side on this one.

15:59

Yeah, numbers too high.

16:00

Then tonight, nine o'clock

16:03

Eastern tear a Hote

16:05

Indiana. The Cincinnati

16:08

Bearcats are going to play Cream

16:10

Abdul Jabbar in the Indiana

16:13

State Sycamores. Indiana State's

16:15

a three and a half point favorite. What do he got

16:19

There's.

16:19

No way I don't care what the number

16:21

is that I would be on the wrong side of

16:23

Cream Abdul Jabbar. Make it twenty

16:26

and a half. I'm believing in him. He's

16:28

the last part of March that

16:30

I can still look at and smile. I can't

16:32

look at the Sweet sixteen and then stall play

16:34

tournament. I'm still mad at that tournament. But

16:37

Cream Abdul Jabbar in the n IT, I can

16:39

still find some happiness in basketball there and

16:41

I will be rooting for him to cover that Spritain.

16:44

Yeah, I'm going to take Indiana State obviously

16:46

because of Cream and Robbie of

16:48

Elyp. But I've

16:51

found myself probably in the last few weeks.

16:53

I've said the word cream more than I've

16:56

ever said in my life because of him. And

16:58

it's kind of like in the

17:00

sense that it's a gross word.

17:06

I mean it is cream, cream,

17:09

not kareem, just cream. I'm

17:12

trying to think what was the moment it became a

17:14

gross word, and I think it was the Prince

17:16

song. Okay, right,

17:20

I want you to, sometime in your spare time go

17:22

back and watch Prince's video Cream.

17:26

Do you remember it? I do?

17:27

And you're associating that with.

17:29

Well, I know what I'm saying. It

17:33

is the most sexual video that

17:35

ever played at my house

17:38

in Middlesbrough, And if you go

17:40

back and watch it, it's kind of crazy

17:43

that that it was played on television

17:45

and that children sang

17:47

that song. There's a lot

17:49

of women in it, there's a lot well

17:52

I mean, I don't need to tell you. You can go.

17:54

Watch it watching it that's Prince.

17:57

But like the fact that in nineteen

17:59

ninety one or whatever they played

18:01

that song like during TRL while

18:03

kids were coming home from school, and

18:06

that video where Prince is like at

18:08

his most sexual, isn't

18:11

that sort of weird?

18:13

U When you bring up the part that I

18:15

was watching it after school. I never considered

18:17

it like that because I would I'd throw my backpack

18:19

down, get on the couch, watch music videos

18:21

and that might be the first one on the screen that

18:24

that's a little weird, But I mean, Prince is gonna Prince.

18:26

I mean that was a Prince video.

18:27

The Diamonds and Pearls album in

18:29

general has a lot going

18:32

on. I mean there's the song

18:34

Diamonds and Pearls, which is a beautiful

18:36

song, but there's also get

18:40

off, let a woman

18:42

be a woman and a man be a man. There's

18:45

a lot happening on that album, don't

18:47

you think. I feel like when people talk about

18:49

Prince, they leave that album out.

18:51

But I also came up with an

18:54

era of b et uncut and like the Nelly

18:56

Tip Drove video. So Prince, you're

18:58

a little younger though Prince was pretty I

19:01

understand that, but.

19:02

Like in nineteen ninety one,

19:05

I had not seen on Basic Cable

19:08

anything quite like that. And

19:10

then soon after that, Errol Smith comes

19:12

out with the Sweet Emotion videos

19:15

like the Moment or No, what was the

19:17

what was the Elvis hips?

19:20

What's he do with those hips? The Sweet

19:22

Emotion video where it's like a

19:24

sex call in line and

19:26

then that you also had the Alicia Silverstone

19:29

What is that? What was that?

19:31

That's when she became a star from that video.

19:35

So it's just a lot for me to process in eighth

19:37

grade when I looked like cream abdul

19:39

Jabbar to make to

19:43

come full circles, all of those reasons I pick

19:45

in Indiana state to cover.

19:47

Well, thank you for secous on that trip.

19:49

I enjoyed that.

19:50

UNLV at Seaton Hall. Seaton

19:53

Hall's a four and a half pointment. You know, if

19:55

he's got to come all the way across the country

19:57

to where is Seaton Hall? What

20:00

town is?

20:02

I don't know? It's up there?

20:06

Is it in? Is it in Trenton? Let's

20:09

see to go Newark,

20:12

Newark, Trenton. It's

20:15

in a place in New Jersey? Uh,

20:17

what do you got?

20:18

What was the spread?

20:19

South Orange, New Jersey.

20:21

Oh that's not a nice place.

20:23

What do you know about South Orange?

20:24

You drive through it on your way to New York

20:27

and it feels like it's one big chemical

20:29

factory. It

20:31

is. I'm not trying to be rude, that's just what it

20:34

looks like. Who you got what was.

20:36

My r spread?

20:36

Here? At four and a half I know very well.

20:38

I guess I know, unlv' I'm gonna

20:41

make up drama that doesn't exist.

20:43

But I keep seeing Shaheen Holloway's name popping

20:45

up places. It's a four and a half point

20:48

favorite here. Even though I have no

20:50

idea what is going on with them, I'll

20:52

say he's distracted and UNLV covers.

20:55

I feel like I watched ulvs loaded

20:57

with just familiar names.

20:59

I feel like I watched though they had

21:01

an n I T game at home and a lot of people were there,

21:03

and I feel like people were into it, and a lot of the

21:06

n I T is whether or not you care. I feel

21:08

like they've shown they cared, so give

21:10

me, give me seating Hall wasn't.

21:12

It UNLV though at the fade

21:14

this at the SEC we learned their coach.

21:16

I mean that was a big deal for us, Kevin

21:19

Krueger. Are you are you turning on Kevin

21:21

Kruger? He's out done with him? Okay taking

21:23

seat and Hall to cover.

21:25

Finally, the Ribs last n I T

21:28

game VCU and Utah

21:30

again going a long way away.

21:33

Why didn't they just have VCU play Seaton

21:35

Hall in Utah play UNLV. Utah

21:38

is a six and a half point favorite.

21:41

I mean, we've never done a show

21:43

and not sided with Utah. Even

21:46

the Mormons think we're two Mormon on this podcast

21:48

sometimes.

21:49

So here's what happened though, by

21:51

you laid an egg in the NCAA tournament. I

21:54

think I've learned something that we need to remember

21:56

for the future. March is

21:59

not Mormon time.

22:02

They were good football.

22:03

Here's the reason why they are about to go on

22:06

their journeys. You know they're

22:08

two or I think they. I think they leave in

22:11

April to when they go

22:13

on there? What are they? What are they commissions? What

22:18

are you laughing at? Just so absurd.

22:20

We always get so off tracked

22:22

trying to talk about these games.

22:24

They I'm telling you, I

22:26

think Mormons go on their missions in

22:28

April that way, like they're accustomed to a place

22:31

by the summer. Okay, So

22:33

because of that, they're going to be distracted

22:37

because you you I mean, you know they get a draw,

22:39

That's true,

22:43

they get a draw like they go to So

22:46

my uncle told me that when the Vietnam

22:48

War happened, they had a draft

22:51

on television and

22:53

I've thought of this a lot, and on television

22:55

they were like if you were born between X

22:58

date they drew out of a hat. An next day

23:00

you have to go to Vietnam. I

23:03

want to see a documentary about that. Can you remember sitting

23:05

there watching and decide if you have Like that's crazy

23:07

and nervous. They do that with the Mormons, except it's

23:09

not on TV. They're like, you drew

23:12

and you can end up anywhere. You

23:15

can end up in Sweden, you

23:17

can end up in Nairobi, you

23:19

can end up in New Zealand, and you can

23:21

go or you can end up in Pittsburgh,

23:25

And if you think about it, that's gonna be very stressful.

23:28

That probably doesn't affect the players, no

23:32

affect the fans. So I'm taking VC.

23:38

You know, I'm gonna

23:40

keep riding with you. Tom.

23:41

Okay, they heard us in the last round.

23:44

And you make a great case. If

23:46

this had been a road game where they're

23:48

ready to travel wherever and plant

23:51

roots and set up shop, I would think they'd be going

23:53

into Virginia and on the building. But it's at home. So

23:56

wait, I'm already turning on my own argument here.

23:58

Yeah, they're good to go. We're going

24:00

to.

24:02

Like if I told you next week, for

24:04

the next two years, of your life you have

24:06

to go, and it could be anywhere in

24:08

the world. Wouldn't that be

24:11

wild?

24:11

Yeah? It reminds me of if you're

24:13

in the military or like an air force

24:16

base.

24:16

But in the military, you know like

24:20

there's only a handful of choices, like we're

24:23

not gonna invade Italy

24:26

or Lincoln, Nebraska. Yeah, so you know, like

24:28

it could be a

24:30

handful of countries. But

24:33

with the Mormons, it could be anywhere.

24:36

You said Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Well,

24:38

I mean someone is assigned to Lexington, right,

24:42

who makes that decision?

24:43

Just it's one guy, just

24:47

like the Australian punter guy. He just places

24:50

people everywhere. This is his whole year and

24:52

he just goes. You know what, you

24:55

look like the kind of guy that goes.

24:57

To Turkmenistad or

25:01

up there by the way. All of this information I got in

25:03

the Book of Mormon Musical

25:05

and I'm not sure that it was a documentary.

25:09

I have a book of Mormon story. While we're on it, I

25:11

went to buy a ticket, was taking uh,

25:14

taking the wife. We had never even been to a Broadway

25:16

play before. Figured they were sold

25:18

out, but I thought we'd shoot our shot. They

25:20

said, we have two standing tickets,

25:22

and we stood for three and a half hours and

25:25

at one point, at one point I

25:27

crouched just a small stretch and he tapped

25:29

me on the back and said, stand now.

25:31

They were close. We were very It was a great spot.

25:34

But you aren't allowed, Tosh.

25:36

Wow.

25:37

Oh it was painful. But I saw I

25:39

stood how long it is? Three out whatever it was, stood

25:41

the whole time and you couldn't even like twist your back

25:43

a little bit. You had to like be upright. Well,

25:46

it was a good spot to stand.

25:47

There have been some famous people in that so

25:50

like the one guy Josh uheh.

25:53

I don't want to get it wrong, Gondleman, Gaffleman,

25:56

he's been in it.

25:58

It's just Josh kat or no whatever.

26:01

It's kind of chubby game with guy. He was the first

26:04

dude in it. Then I think I

26:06

want to say Josh gadd I think the

26:08

boyfriend on the Show Girls.

26:11

Do you know what I'm talking about? Negative,

26:14

I think he was the first one in it. And

26:18

then the King, the

26:21

dude on Saturday Night Live tearing

26:24

Killiam, he was in

26:26

it too.

26:28

The Jonathan Groff that played

26:30

the King George. He was in a bunch of things.

26:32

What was the guy that was the with Josh

26:35

Gadd? He is the dude. I know you've.

26:37

Said I'm doing Hamilton with the King George.

26:39

I'm switching plays already. What am I talking about?

26:41

You've heard of two plays?

26:42

I keep saying, King George. You look at me.

26:44

Ch was with Josh Gadd in the very

26:46

first one of

26:48

the Book of Mormon. And see what

26:50

his name is. He was I think in the show Girls,

26:53

and everyone would know his face anyway.

26:56

So with that, you took v and

26:59

I took Utah, all right? While Billy's

27:02

looking this up, and I recommend the standing only tickets.

27:04

Yeah, I've seen the book more than three times, three different

27:06

casts.

27:07

Always good. Clemson in

27:09

Arizona Thursday night, West

27:12

Region LA seven

27:14

o'clock. Arizona is a

27:16

seven and a half point favorite. The ACC

27:19

has been really, really good so far

27:21

in the tournament. They have only have one

27:24

loss, and that was Virginia. Who

27:26

you got.

27:29

I'm still taking Arizona seven

27:31

and a half. Yeah,

27:33

I have Arizona in my final four out of

27:35

that region. I'm kind of banking on

27:37

that since everything else has gone south for me.

27:39

I'm I'm I still have a final four. That's intact.

27:42

So I will take take them

27:44

with a win here, gokay, leb bluff, I'm

27:46

gonna take air and Cover. I'm gonna take Arizona as

27:48

well. I'm hesitant,

27:51

but I'm going to because

27:53

i think they're playing close

27:56

to home. I don't think Clemson will travel. And

27:58

your point about the AEC is very oh though

28:00

they've been shockingly shockingly

28:02

good. I mean four teams in the

28:04

sweet sixteen. I mean n C

28:06

State's not even supposed to be there eight

28:08

to.

28:09

One in the tournament as a whole. But

28:12

with that said, I'll take Arizona.

28:15

I had the original cast here, some

28:17

of the some of the.

28:18

Names, Josh Gadden, who's the second one?

28:20

Well, there's a there's a lot here. I don't know.

28:21

Give me to get the main guy.

28:23

Lewis Kleil, Scott

28:26

Barnhard.

28:27

You're just saying names. I'm talking about the juston

28:29

Bohan, You're

28:33

you're just saying names. The

28:35

the original duo. I

28:37

got to teach you how to google. The original

28:40

duo in Book of

28:43

Mormon is Josh

28:45

Gadden Andrew Reynolds. All

28:48

right, now look up Andrew he.

28:49

Was next time I list.

28:50

Yeah, he's in a lot of stuff.

28:52

Yeah that guy, yes,

28:54

yes he was. That was

28:56

the first guy, and then he was replaced by the Terran

28:58

dude that's in Saturday night. There we

29:00

go, all right, back to what I was saying

29:03

one day, Billy will be good at googling. Second

29:06

game, San Diego State Yukon rematch

29:09

the National Championship. Yukon eleven

29:11

half point favor.

29:15

I just I feel like Yukon's gonna kill them.

29:17

What did they win by? Like fourteen?

29:20

In the next I know San Diego State got within five

29:22

ish at one point, but I just I think

29:24

this is most of the game. Yeah, this

29:26

San Diego. I mean there's a different rosters, but I just

29:29

feel like Yukon's gonna do it again.

29:31

How about this being a rematch

29:34

the National Championship and it's these two teams,

29:36

Like, give San Diego State a lot of credit.

29:38

They lost like everybody, and

29:40

they're right back here again.

29:44

One thing to consider, I was just reading this

29:47

earlier. They almost went

29:49

straight from Spokane to Boston. Their travels

29:51

so bad, like they got in they

29:53

had they played the late Sunday night game and Washington

29:55

went back to San Diego and are now going to Boston.

29:58

They're giving us all somewhere. It's the most travel anyone's

30:00

had to do for sweet sixteen. I don't know how much

30:02

people count for that, but I count

30:05

they are. They are moving about

30:07

the country. Sleep is very important, exactly.

30:10

You need your you need your rest.

30:11

You. Oh.

30:12

Their coach said they had to make the decision to even go back

30:14

home at all.

30:15

Are you dying your beard?

30:16

My dying? My beard knows it?

30:18

Well, no, you used to. I feel like have a lot

30:20

of gray spots.

30:21

Dude, you know, oh light,

30:24

it's getting very gray. I didn't get carted one time

30:26

in Nashville, and every time they just pointed at my

30:28

chin.

30:30

There's nothing worse than walking in with somebody who

30:32

gets carded and then you don't.

30:33

Oh, it happened a lot. I can't believe you don't see them.

30:35

They're bad getting white

30:38

Now mine grows in so white,

30:40

and I hate it. And I thought about the just

30:42

for men.

30:43

Yeah, you can get a little. It gets

30:45

a little like when people die their hair and act like

30:47

they don't. It's a little obvious,

30:50

right.

30:50

Like a rupe Patino.

30:52

Well, that one went from black to silver to red.

30:55

Yeah, you know what I mean.

30:56

When somebody in the No, no, of

30:59

course signing.

31:00

What you mean, do you think it's more

31:02

embarrassing to dye your hair or

31:05

to have hair plugs?

31:08

I don't think either embarrassing if

31:10

you're not trying to conceal it and neck like you didn't.

31:13

Okay, So you think if you just come out and go I got hair

31:15

plugs?

31:16

Yeah, like, check out these hair I mean, don't just walk around

31:18

hey, hey, hey, stranger. I

31:20

don't know what you thinking. This is natural. You know, everyone

31:24

how to act like they you know what I mean?

31:27

Yeah, but I mean, like like John

31:29

Cena got it. You know, when John Cena came back to wrestling,

31:31

he had a bald spot, and now he doesn't. Do

31:33

you think he should be required in all interviews to say,

31:35

look, by the way I covered up my bald spot.

31:38

Yeah, I guess it's weird. I mean, you don't wear a sign or

31:40

like put a sign in your yard. But all right,

31:42

so what about two pays? Those

31:45

are the most obvious.

31:47

What's say, you're like Bill's self and you can

31:49

get it to where it looks good.

31:51

His is magical. I don't even know if his

31:53

is a two pay it is I think

31:55

he went into the future and had a procedure we

31:57

haven't even discovered yet.

32:01

There was a coach at the sweet sixteen, the

32:04

Kentucky High School Sweet sixteen, that

32:06

I think had the worst two pay I've

32:08

seen in public in a long

32:11

long time. And I hesitate to

32:13

call him, but

32:16

you take his picture. I mean, no, I'm

32:18

not like but Ryan tweeted it

32:20

out twice. He

32:22

tweeted it out twice. It is. I

32:26

can't I can't

32:28

even describe it, and I don't want

32:30

to, like say

32:33

who it is, but it's easy to Finn.

32:36

And my thought is when it's that obvious,

32:43

that's what I'm saying.

32:44

I mean, that is like look at

32:46

that. I mean, like, that's

32:49

embarrassing.

32:52

One. Why if it's

32:54

like like that, I mean, you and I

32:56

we're not gonna say who. Don't say who. There's

32:59

a famous basketball reporter who

33:03

it's it's bad. It's it's bad.

33:06

Why, I

33:08

don't know.

33:08

I mean, sometimes they

33:10

look like someone's literally just holding a

33:12

mop up behind them and they put their head up

33:14

in it. That's when it's bad.

33:16

But do you think it fools some people?

33:19

No, not the bad ones,

33:21

the real bad ones, like the one Billy

33:23

just showed that's not fooling anyone.

33:26

Remember, like Brian or a Lacker got hair plugs

33:28

or something like that, But he was bald for so long.

33:30

That, I mean, he was completely bald and

33:33

then he got it.

33:34

That's a bad look, I think you

33:36

do. Yeah, just embrace it.

33:39

But like, what's wrong with one that look better?

33:42

I mean, that's not who you are?

33:44

So you're no, it is because

33:46

you got plucks.

33:47

No, it's artificially put in

33:50

the billy's going the other way?

33:53

Are you against breast implants? There artificial?

33:55

No, not against breast So what.

33:57

Is the difference between a breast and plant and

34:00

a hair plug?

34:02

His personal preference.

34:05

And then we know what you like.

34:08

I feel like like you

34:10

would never say that a woman

34:13

should be embarrassed for having breasting plants

34:15

if they look good.

34:16

But Brian was known for being bald,

34:19

like that was his thing.

34:20

What about Jason Alexander. Jason

34:22

Alexander has more hair now than he

34:24

did on Seinfeld? Is that all right?

34:28

Uh?

34:29

I mean naturally if he grew it then yeah. But I

34:31

mean if.

34:32

Ryan Ryan has hair plugs rocks

34:34

him and he looks better.

34:36

I think that he should embrace whatever.

34:38

He has so you are ten

34:40

years younger.

34:41

So what do you didn't do one day when

34:44

an endorser comes to you and says, Billy

34:46

will give you hair plugs and ten

34:48

thousand dollars if you'll endorse it. You're gonna do it.

34:51

Oh no, I'm not losing this this hair.

34:54

Oh he doesn't

34:57

know, does he?

34:57

Wait a minute?

34:58

You're older.

35:00

Take in the view that you're not going what's

35:02

your age?

35:05

Wow? Well there was a time that

35:08

I had hair as thick as yours, and

35:10

mine's not as thick. And

35:14

Ryan, well, Ryan never had hair as thick as minded

35:16

yours was, but Channon

35:19

used to have a lot thicker hair. I

35:21

have friends who are who like

35:24

it could happen to you. You don't know what cocky.

35:26

You don't know what that temple has in store for you next

35:28

couple decades.

35:30

And if you get caught listen, I'm not gonna

35:32

gloat, but you got cocky there, Bill.

35:34

I'm not going to get hair plugs.

35:36

Let's see the take off the hat. Let's see that.

35:39

Yeah, that's pretty good. You don't have any signs

35:42

of.

35:43

This is short.

35:44

You do have good hair. It's the thing you it's

35:46

the thing you do best. In life.

35:48

Oh thank you.

35:49

This is a different fade. This we're doing well on

35:51

hair talk micovers and if

35:54

anyone out there does their hair, has hair plugs,

35:56

it's okay. Just be open about it.

35:58

Just tell people everywhere you meet, Yukon

36:01

we're taking.

36:02

That's what we were talking about. Oh yeah, I already

36:04

did. I think Yukon. I just think it's

36:06

meant for them to whop them again.

36:08

Alabama in North

36:10

Carolina, great Gate. North

36:13

Caron is a three and a half point favorite. I like

36:15

North Carolina. Bit give

36:18

me North Carolina is

36:20

my Thursday tippy

36:24

two victory

36:26

of the week.

36:28

I'll take Alabama. I think

36:30

North Carolina.

36:31

You're taking North Carolina. I made this my

36:33

pick of the week, and you're taking Alabama.

36:35

I heard you just say it. I'm taking Alabama.

36:38

Wow.

36:39

I think they can keep it. I still think North

36:41

Carolina wins, but I can see this one going down

36:43

the wire. Part of it is I was in

36:46

Atlanta when Kentucky played un

36:48

C and I saw what happened when a team can get

36:50

up and running and get hot against them. So

36:52

I don't know that Alabama will win, but I will

36:55

take the free points. And what I think is a close game.

36:59

All right, we

37:01

should place a bet on this.

37:03

Mea he was nineteen and thirty two less.

37:06

Well, I mean I don't want to. This is your

37:08

one hundred percent confidence in my just next

37:10

one on my sheet?

37:11

Okay, see sorry, so you're not confident, Well,

37:13

I would say bet me because

37:15

this is my Do you have a confident one this week?

37:18

I could pick one that wouldn't be the one

37:20

I think?

37:21

All right, I'm taking North Carolina and I love it.

37:23

It's my pick of the week. Illinois, Iowa

37:26

State. Iowa State's a

37:28

one and a half point favorite. My parlay

37:31

guarantee is

37:35

Iowa State North Carolina. I

37:38

love Iowa stating this one. I think. I think

37:40

Illinois is playing

37:42

well but slightly overrated. I

37:44

love Iowa State. They're a one and a half point favorite.

37:48

I'm probably going to place a significant

37:50

wager on a parlay with those two teams because

37:52

I like Iowa State a line.

37:54

I filled out two brackets. Both of them have

37:56

Iowa State advancing past

37:58

this round, even in the the final four.

38:00

So if you're telling me it only lay in one and a half

38:02

to advance, I will take Iowa. I

38:05

was beating Yukon In one of my brackets,

38:07

I have Iowa State in the National Championship losing

38:10

to Purdue, so I

38:12

will certainly take them a minus one

38:14

to half. Although Illinois has been on fire,

38:16

I don't know how many they've won in a row, but

38:19

they've got a very good offense and very good guard

38:21

play. So it's not a given by any

38:23

means, but I will side with the Iowa State because

38:25

they were hot in the tournament. Fred

38:28

Hoiberg, Yep,

38:32

is he still there?

38:33

I think? Is he not?

38:36

No, he's in Nebraska.

38:38

They've got Holtzenburger.

38:41

Great young coach that probably won't be there too much longer.

38:45

I thought you meant he was just going to be there cheering.

38:48

Yeah, I think

38:53

I think I was on part of my take Billy,

38:55

and uh,

38:59

they asked me. They were like, well, what if TJ. Holzenberger

39:01

was the coach for Kentucky next year?

39:04

And I didn't know who that was.

39:06

Just laughed it off.

39:07

Well, but you're on a national podcast,

39:10

and you know, with them, I didn't know if they were like just

39:12

making a joke.

39:14

Because they try to walk people into that stuff.

39:16

I mean, they might, they might. That might be a guy

39:18

that works at barstool, you know what I mean,

39:20

Like, I don't know who works at Barstool outside of like four

39:22

people. So TJ. Holzenberger

39:25

sounds like the kind of name that would just work

39:27

at barstool and they'd call him Holtzy or

39:29

something. You know.

39:30

Yeah, I think even Big Kat said it's a wrestler

39:33

when they.

39:33

Yeah, he said he did. He said TJ. Holzenberger

39:36

looks like a wrestler. So I'm like, oh,

39:39

that's probably Holtzy that's on

39:41

their live streams or something, and

39:43

I go, oh, yeah, I don't know, not

39:46

the guy freaking I want somebody that wins.

39:49

And then only afterwards that I realized he was an

39:51

actual coach for a good team.

39:53

On a lot of people's lists if they could get them.

39:55

So, if you go back and listen to my every with part of my take, if

39:57

you hear me being a little hesitant, it's because

39:59

I didn't know who t J. Holtzenberger was,

40:03

and I genuinely thought he worked at Barstool, and

40:11

I thought I thought they were trying to trick

40:13

me.

40:14

You know, it'd be

40:16

an interesting hire because I know like five.

40:18

People that work at Barstill, you got Portnoy,

40:21

Big cat pft really

40:24

fat.

40:24

Guy Frank Frank the

40:26

tank.

40:26

Yeah. And then the dude we met at

40:28

uh uh at

40:31

the Breeders Cup Jersey jer

40:33

Jerry. I don't know anybody else on And what's

40:36

the guy that's always on my TikTok.

40:38

I'm gonna need more than that.

40:40

He's he always puts his face on there, and he's

40:42

he's funny. He's always on my TikTok.

40:44

Like, oh, and Jack, but there's a new Ski

40:46

Noil and like, is it Jack Mac,

40:49

Jase Mac?

40:50

Yeah, those are the people I know.

40:52

And then the floating head guys you still have the

40:55

call he daddy.

40:57

No, she's she does her own thing, okay,

40:59

not with Barcelona, but she still exists.

41:01

Right still very

41:03

well.

41:03

What's her name?

41:04

Cooper Alexandre.

41:08

And then there's a guy who I don't know, but

41:10

isn't there like a KFC.

41:13

Yes, Oh, and Brandon Walker. I

41:15

know Brandon Walker hosted, He's

41:17

hosted KSR. I know, But my point is

41:19

I thought T. J. Hildt worked at Barstool.

41:21

He was just part of the team over there.

41:23

N c's We Go to Friday n C State Marquette.

41:27

Marquette is a six and a half point favorite. N

41:30

C State's run has been unbelievable. Five

41:32

games in the a SEC Tournament, two games

41:34

in the NCAA Tournament, and they tend

41:36

to win by significant margins.

41:39

And here they are getting six and a half. What

41:42

are you doing?

41:45

I'm gonna take Marquette, but I know I'm

41:47

going up against a team that just keeps proving people

41:49

wrong. I didn't think NC State would

41:51

have much left after the ACC tournament

41:53

either, and here they are. The

41:56

Marquette's looking pretty dang good.

41:59

So I'm gonna take them, but I would not be shocked to vinc

42:01

State just does it again. They've been

42:03

pretty magical. I'm staying away from this

42:05

game completely.

42:06

I would not bet this game because I

42:08

have no idea what's gonna happen. I

42:11

do think the Big East has been strong,

42:14

so is the ACC. But

42:16

if you go look at history, eleven seeds

42:19

that get to the sweet sixteen have a

42:21

pretty poor record. Once they get

42:23

there, teams get another week to prepare.

42:26

Marquette runs a lot. I'm not sure

42:28

that that's gonna be great for DJ Burns. So

42:31

I'm gonna go with you and go with Marquette, but

42:33

I don't I'm not confident about it.

42:36

Did you see them bring these Sunday out to DJ

42:38

Burns in his postgame interview?

42:40

That was really offensive?

42:44

And did I granted, I don't

42:46

think they think I even had sound on. I just saw them

42:48

and the man of Sunday. Did they do that for everyone

42:50

else? I hope they did.

42:52

I don't

42:54

get offended like I mean, I literally

42:57

like, I don't get offended like I get

42:59

that people that are like overweight. I guess I even

43:01

said that about the first of all. Shout

43:03

out to the frank guy. How much weight he's lost? Yeah,

43:05

doesn't he walk all the time? And he seems like shout

43:08

out to him. He seems like a good dude. So shout

43:10

out to that guy. But

43:15

I can't believe you would give a guy a

43:17

Sunday when it's over like

43:19

he.

43:22

Like he He did not seem to

43:24

like it. He looked at it like what is this?

43:27

And then he immediately walked overhanded to someone

43:29

in the crowd that Billy.

43:30

I did not did not see it.

43:32

After the game was over, they just gave him a Sunday. Like

43:34

the reason I think just because he's

43:36

like Chubby is he's bigger. Yeah,

43:38

I think that's why they did it. They want why else would

43:40

they do it?

43:40

Get video of him eating the ice cream.

43:42

I think they thought it was funny.

43:45

Yeah, that's a little poor form if you ask

43:47

me.

43:48

I mean, I'm not like, I don't tend

43:51

to get a fit, but that's kind of offensive, isn't

43:53

it.

43:53

Unless there's like a story I'm

43:55

missing where he has like a celbratory

43:57

ice cream something that went on that I don't know about.

44:00

But if they're just like, oh.

44:01

No, maybe if he likes if it's known, then he

44:03

celebrates a Sunday every day at

44:05

it. It's just like, hey, chuvy

44:08

guy, here's some ice cream. Like they

44:10

that was kind of rude, don't and

44:12

he just.

44:13

Like I said, he just walks over hands it to someone

44:15

like I don't want this.

44:16

Yeah, all right. Gonzaga Purdue. Purdue's

44:18

a five

44:20

and a half point favorite.

44:24

Gonzaga was kind of my early team

44:27

I liked for the tournament. I even bet them making the Sweet

44:29

sixteen. I'm so conflicted

44:31

on Purdue. I mean, in one bracket I sinning

44:34

the championship, but it looks yeah,

44:37

and in the back of my mind, I'm thinking it's Purdue I'll

44:40

trust him here, but this is one like I

44:42

just said with Marquette in C State. No,

44:44

there's not really an outcome that will surprise me because Gonzaga

44:46

has seemed to fund it at the right time as well.

44:49

Yeah, I mean not. I

44:52

feel like I feel like the good thing for

44:55

Purdue is they're in a bracket full of teams

44:57

that play the way they do, which is

44:59

good for them, right, including

45:01

Gonzaga. Gonzaga is not super

45:03

athletic, So I'm gonna take

45:05

Purdue. I feel like I've picked all favorites.

45:07

Maybe I have, you

45:10

have well, but I mean the favorites

45:12

have done so well so far.

45:14

These for the most part, have been fairly small numbers

45:16

too.

45:17

Yeah, I mean, I feel like maybe

45:20

taking all favorites again. I mean, I feel like

45:23

I'm taking Perdue because I

45:26

don't see Gonzaga beating them, and if you're gonna it's

45:29

only five and a half. I think I'm gonna take Purdue.

45:31

Yep, I'll take Purdue.

45:32

46:35

before we tape this podcast, I had

46:37

to be a forty minute zoom

46:40

session to become the voice

46:42

of the DK Horse app.

46:46

We've recorded a lot of ads for lots

46:48

of places. This sounds like it had a lot.

46:50

Of forty piece forty

46:52

minutes long, six different people

46:54

on zoom, all with suggestions

46:57

on how to do it.

46:58

In past ads for whatever you've done, have you

47:00

ever had more than two people involved.

47:02

I don't know that I've ever done more than two takes

47:05

of any ad in my life, and

47:07

I think I did twenty.

47:10

The crown is yours

47:13

put an emphasis on yours, and

47:15

I was like, the crown is yours again,

47:21

the crown is yours, the

47:25

crown he's yours. It

47:30

was watching you. They

47:32

were just watching me and then like critiquing

47:35

what I said, and they also

47:37

I record the first one and then we heard the music

47:39

in the background drove and the music

47:41

in the background is like Turner

47:47

and I was like, DK

47:50

DK horse is

47:52

your place for horse racing.

47:54

That wasn't good enough to again another.

47:56

One DK Horse, But

48:00

I think when it got done, Billy, I think it was.

48:02

Good, and I thought it was great. I thought

48:04

my head might explode.

48:06

Billy was getting much more frustrated than I was. I

48:08

knew it was gonna take forever I've done.

48:11

I did a TV commercial once and it took

48:13

like two and a half hours, and at the end I was like, I

48:15

don't even want to buy this, and I'm in it.

48:17

That just reminds me when I was leaving here earlier.

48:20

You asked Billy how long it'll take and he I heard

48:22

him say no more than ten minutes.

48:24

Yeah, well he was not right.

48:25

We had one thirty second spot to do and

48:28

one fifteen second it's.

48:29

Gonna be a good one. That's that's how much you care about draft

48:32

Kings. You want to get it right.

48:33

Listen, I love I love Draft Kings

48:35

and DK Horse and DK Horse is

48:37

great, Toka sportsbook, DK

48:40

bars everything. I'm

48:43

I'm listen, I'm a draft king. But

48:45

I will tell you it's a lot

48:48

of takes. So when you that ad

48:50

will pop up for all of you at some point

48:53

as we get close to the derby, just

48:55

know what sweat went into it.

48:58

Did they take into account that you hit our aready

49:00

done a fade this that

49:02

was off the books about round two tournament

49:04

and how tired you might be from doing your imaginary

49:07

fade this.

49:09

This is a lot of talking you've had to do, and you added

49:12

a bonus episode without telling

49:14

anyone else.

49:15

Fourteen to two.

49:15

Though it's pretty good, it's I mean, the record is

49:17

the only thing that's keeping us from being mad that you did an episode

49:20

without us.

49:22

Duke in Houston probably the

49:24

game of the tournament. Jim Nance will sitting

49:26

on the side. They showed Jim Nance

49:29

a lot during that Houston game the other night. See

49:31

that big a star's.

49:33

First one without him, he can finally be a fan.

49:36

It's a pretty big deal, Philly.

49:38

I think you. But you know we have new

49:41

Have you ever heard the story about Jim

49:44

Nance and him giving us the pen? No?

49:46

No, I have not heard this.

49:48

A lot of people listen to this have heard it, but it is it's

49:50

been a while. So in twenty twelve,

49:54

Drew and I went to the Final four and

49:57

it was the Practice, the open Practice

49:59

before War and Jim Nance. We

50:01

were doing a podcast during the open press, just

50:04

like we did for

50:05

UH for this

50:07

last week, and Jim Nance walks

50:09

up to us and I go, hey,

50:12

Jim Nance, I'm Matt Jones TREF.

50:14

We were very excited, remember oh yeah, And

50:16

we asked him to sit down and he did,

50:20

and he goes, so, you guys are Kentucky

50:22

guys, right, And I said yeah,

50:24

and he goes, you know, I'm doing my Kentucky prep.

50:27

I remember, this is Anthony

50:29

Davis is the year, like Kentucky was number

50:31

one most of the year.

50:34

And he looks at us and he goes, I need some facts

50:38

for Kentucky. He's like, got

50:40

you facts, and

50:42

Drew and I we were a little nervous.

50:44

Right of course it's Jim Nance, Jim Nance.

50:47

And so I go out, I mean the obvious one, you

50:50

know, Anthony Davis is the un

50:52

to Brow. And he goes,

50:55

well, why do they call him that? And

51:00

I thought he was d I mean I thought he had

51:02

to be kidding, right because.

51:03

This is already on T shirts everywhere,

51:06

Brow downhere.

51:08

All this and I go, well, he

51:13

has a UNI and

51:16

he goes, really, okay, I hadn't

51:18

noticed that.

51:20

I hadn't noticed the brow.

51:22

He hadn't noticed it. This is the most

51:24

this is the national player of the year. Okay

51:27

whatever. Then he goes, so, now

51:29

it was what level we're dealing with? Having

51:32

paid attention? So you know Marcus Tigue,

51:35

you know, his brother's in the NBA and

51:38

he goes who and

51:43

I think Drew said Lebron James.

51:47

Had thrown up there.

51:51

And when he I was like, Jeff t oh

51:53

okay, and he writes it down and

51:55

if you listen to broadcast, he brings

51:58

both of those things up Billy like,

52:00

he's like he discovered it right, Uh

52:02

huh.

52:03

I Also remember we were saying something about point

52:05

guards. You're like, cow Perry has a good history point

52:07

guards, and we're like, yeah, pretty much all

52:09

of them.

52:12

But Derek Rose, Tyreek Avit's John Wall

52:14

and Brandon Knight. And I go, you know Marcus t you

52:17

know, he's kind of the next in the line of cal point

52:19

guards. And he was like, oh yeah,

52:21

Cow's good with point guards. I

52:24

want to be like, you've called hello?

52:28

Is anyone called all these? So when it's over,

52:31

he's he was a nice guy. He goes, you

52:33

know, guys, I really appreciate it.

52:36

Tomorrow, I'm gonna have a present for

52:38

you. Oh the present, you

52:40

know, at the time, I'm thinking, man,

52:43

like, are we talking like

52:46

thousand dollars? He

52:49

comes in the next day and he has

52:52

two little lapel

52:55

pins and they

52:57

both say hello friends. Wow.

52:59

On the pen it says hello friends, on the pen.

53:01

It says hello friends, and he hands me and Drew

53:04

a Hello friends pen.

53:05

I know exactly where mine is at home.

53:07

I do too. I still I still have It's on my press

53:09

credential from the twelve Final.

53:11

Four us as funny as it's not really funny,

53:14

but we were just shocked that he didn't know some obvious things.

53:16

The fact that Jim Nantz took the time to

53:18

do that day find us.

53:20

He went and found us to give us

53:22

the pins. He was very, very

53:25

nice. He then came on the

53:27

pregame show for the game.

53:29

He sat down with us and did so. I

53:31

I it sounds like I'm mock anding. I'm

53:33

not trying to, but it

53:36

was kind of hilarious, right,

53:38

And it also felt.

53:39

Like can we

53:41

just feed him anything for

53:44

I'm like, can I just can we talk

53:46

trash about Louisville?

53:47

Can I?

53:47

Can I just tell him anything? He'll say it at this point

53:49

because he was like writing down our notes.

53:52

I feel like I would say,

53:54

you know, Rip Patino, he used to coach Kentucky.

53:59

You know Louisville place. Kay, they're in the same stay.

54:02

Well, people don't realize.

54:03

That I really do know exactly

54:06

where that pen Is. So hello, friends, you

54:08

never heard that story.

54:09

I think I heard the part about Anthony Davis and the

54:11

brow. But yeah, talk

54:13

about lack of preparation, Jim.

54:15

Is there any chance on the inside he do

54:18

you think he was like do these guys think I'm idiots and

54:20

he's just like.

54:21

I think he just is like lives. You

54:23

know, this year he's not it's the first final

54:25

four. He's not coming, right. But here's what's

54:27

crazy. He's still coming

54:29

to present the trophy. Why

54:33

I think he I think he thinks.

54:35

That like he is

54:37

the final four.

54:38

No, but like that it'll be more special

54:41

if he's there, if he's the one that presents

54:43

the trophy. I didn't

54:46

know he's doing that. He didn't give

54:48

him the tie away. They're late in the career too. You

54:50

know he does that. Did you know that he gives the.

54:52

Tie of Darius Miller or

54:56

Derek Willis got the tie? One of them, I can't remember.

54:58

One of them played a good game and got the tie. Probably he likes

55:00

to give the ties away. I think j

55:02

Bill is giving his shoes away. It's also weird, like I.

55:04

Don't want to because they're nice shoes, Like it's

55:06

not like he gives like Jordan's away. He gives like his little

55:09

you know, beat up hookahs away to people

55:11

at the game day.

55:14

Dirty White, what do

55:16

you I mean.

55:16

I'd like to do that. Just take things out of my

55:18

closet. I don't even hand them to people and go

55:20

youre get rid of this.

55:22

When most people do that, they just go to goodwill.

55:24

He goes to goes to game

55:26

day and just hand things he wants to get rid

55:28

of.

55:29

The kids outgrew this. Peter Mallar Blazer

55:32

Duke in Houston.

55:34

Duke is a four and a half point fav.

55:37

Oh.

55:40

Before I watched the how they've each played

55:43

in the last round, I would have been heavy

55:45

on Houston. But I'll side with Duke because

55:47

they were all over James Madison

55:50

from the jump and Houston kind of

55:52

had to fight for their game. I still think Houston

55:54

advances, but like I said with Alabama North Carolina,

55:56

I'll just take the points in this one thinking it's going to

55:58

be close.

56:00

Yeah. I like Houston, though I think Houston.

56:03

I think Duke's kind of soft. I

56:06

mean, think about it. To get this far, they beat Vermont and James

56:08

Madison right, so they haven't played a good team,

56:10

yet I think Houston's the opposite of soft.

56:12

I think to beat Houston you have to like out tough

56:15

them, which A and M came close to doing.

56:17

So I like Houston. I

56:19

think Houston is. I like that one a lot. And

56:21

then the last game, I have no idea what to do.

56:24

Tennessee's a two and a half point favor against Creighton.

56:26

This is the biggest flip a coin to

56:29

me of all time. This

56:33

is so hard as a Tennessee hater. Anytime

56:35

I'm betting Duke Louisville Tennessee, I

56:37

cannot turn off my hatred.

56:39

I want to take Creighton, but I'm acknowledging it's

56:42

because I don't want any satisfaction

56:44

for Tennessee. I think I'll take the balls

56:46

if I can turn that off. They're

56:49

pretty complete, and I mean Dalton connect

56:51

He's the type of player that can just be

56:54

an NCAA tournament star. So I

56:56

will have them advancing in this one and covering,

56:58

but I will be rooting hard for Creighton.

57:02

Yeah, I'm gonna take Tennessee. I think

57:04

Tennessee's playing really really well. I

57:06

mean, I know we beat him at the ID know he lost Mississippi

57:08

State, but like when they're zeroed in,

57:12

I think Creighton's good. I

57:14

think the Connect versus the Shireman is a

57:16

cool matchup, but I'm gonna take

57:18

Connect. I think he's a little bit better. So I'm

57:20

gonna take Connect.

57:23

And Ziegeler even though he's not a

57:25

great scoring guard. I mean he's a guy

57:27

I think you can trust. And then Viscovie next to him

57:30

was a dude like forty. I

57:32

don't like to admit how balanced Tennessee looks

57:34

as a as a Tennessee hater.

57:37

Before we go, I just saw this come

57:39

on. The Washington State

57:41

athletic director Pat Chune

57:44

is leaving to become the athletic director

57:46

at Washington.

57:49

That seems messy.

57:50

Isn't that brutal? I

57:53

mean, I get it, no loyalty, Washington's

57:55

gonna be in the big ten. Washington State

57:58

is now in the Mountain West again.

58:01

But man,

58:03

if you're a Washington State fan, are you just like

58:06

middle fingers up to that guy? Yeah?

58:08

I mean he left you once kind

58:11

of on the way up, and then the other's way

58:13

on the way down and he just jumps side.

58:15

I mean that would be like the Louisville ad

58:19

leaving and coming to Kentucky. You know what I mean, Their fans

58:21

would like lose their minds.

58:23

We would lose our minds too if that's never happened. But I know

58:25

what you're saying.

58:25

But I mean he would like our ad leaving

58:28

for Louisville, but would be weird because we're

58:30

in the better conference. But like, what if their ad

58:32

left for us? That would be.

58:35

Crazy jumping in a rivalry.

58:37

Yeah. Well, I hope

58:39

everybody enjoyed the episode as

58:41

much as you enjoyed my episode that

58:43

I recorded Friday night.

58:46

What were You again? Fourteen

58:48

and two two losses zero

58:51

and zero Oregon, I gotta be better.

58:53

I got I missed organ because I thought they'd

58:55

beat Creating, and then I missed Baylor Clemson.

58:58

The other fourteen though, were Judy

59:01

totals props? Do you hit those? We

59:03

know I'm not totalsky. I'm more like against

59:05

the spread you probably. I

59:08

just want everybody to be able to want everybody

59:10

to be able to to

59:13

share my victory.

59:14

Understand Well, congrats on the fourteen

59:17

to two.

59:17

So hopefully well we'll be as good

59:20

this time. And Billy, thank

59:22

you for helping record the DK.

59:24

Horse commercial absolutely so,

59:27

thank you.

59:28

All very much. We will come back for the final

59:30

four and then I'm open

59:32

to ideas of what do we

59:34

do for the rest of the spring.

59:37

Let's be honest, we don't talk about sports.

59:39

We'll just call it fade this discussion.

59:43

I am getting into baseball this year.

59:47

So much.

59:47

I want baseball.

59:48

Frankie montass on the Hill for

59:50

the Reds.

59:52

So you're gonna be there?

59:54

Oh yeah. I hate Opening Day

59:56

though for the Reds. There's so many people

59:58

there and.

59:59

It's they shut up down up there.

1:00:00

I'm much happier when everybody's

1:00:02

not there than when they are. But it

1:00:04

will be. It is a great vine, so seeway
