Golden Grizzlies Golden Grizzlies I knew that take down Kentucky in the one true stunner from day one of March Madness Jack GOI hit 10 threes from Michigan Oakland is yes from from Detroit uh hit 10 threes he was the perfect wa really yeah I did not know that until just now

I was I was looking up Jack Goki stats before we started to do the podcast and I was like oh I guess he uh played small ball in Michigan somewhere then he moved out to California he’s actually from Pewaukee yeah home of Derek Watt and JJ

Watt and TJ watt yes uh yeah it is in Michigan hor a lot of people will be learning that that that guy could not miss it was incredible he was double teamed he was coming off screens with no daylight just sinking everything that was it was so much fun it was so much

Fun he he is uh he is the perfect March Madness guy he has taken a total of eight two-pointers all season long one of the coolest stats out there single one he was shooting shots that he should NE no one should be shooting fully covered just draining threes that was

Perfectly March Madness and he had a quote after where he was like I know that they have a bunch of NBA guys I know that I’m not going to be playing in the NBA but On Any Given uh day I can compete with those types of guys that’s

What March Madness is this guy is going to absolutely rock some like men’s league basketball and he was yeah he’s perfect cuz he already looks like a men’s league basketball player cuz he’s kind of got like a little bit of the male pattern baldness starting his bit

Head is huge he’s got a little Derek Carr in him yeah and I hope it keeps going I because well actually we’ll see because they we’re basically have a matchup of America’s Sweethearts uh in the second round now because it’s Jack gy and the Oakland Golden Grizzlies

Going up against the team that just cannot lose right now in NC State yeah uh they they did fun teams yeah they’ve won six straight well six straight tournament games because they won five straight ACC tournament games and now they’ve won their first tournament game I think it was since

Fluke girl really yeah against villain Nova they showed fluke girl they show that they always find a way to show fluk I wonder what fluke girl is doing these days yeah she I I hope that uh she was able to like overcome her she was everywhere right after that for like

Years and I think maybe when Villanova won the championship I feel like that was her Redemption story yeah where it’s like okay now I’m not going to get brought up all the time Max girl no I don’t but they made a they put her in that commercial basically yeah no they

Show her every single tournament they have a a clarinet player fake fluk but they but that was the first time NC State won a tournament game since then uh they but that is a like it’s just this is what we watch for the the the tournament you don’t know who’s going to

Become the hero out of nowhere I did try to try to get everyone on Samford they were absolutely robbed at the end of the game against Kansas Kansas where they had a perfect block called a foul and ended up losing the game but but like you just that that’s the beauty of the

Tournament you don’t know what team is going to pop up and have everyone talking about them and now we have Oakland versus NC State what the winner of that game is going to be the talk of of the week leading up to the Sweet 16 because it’ll be a great story either

Way they’re two very fun teams to root for and NC State with DJ Burns sexy red that dude he’s a big dude but he moves his feet he’s like a ballerine on his feet he’s a great passer soft touch it’s you can’t root against him and then you

Can’t rot against gokki so I don’t know just take the over yeah in the next game I don’t want I want there should be there should be a rule where two of like uh the Cinderellas that have very fun players on them if they both get matched

Up with each other in the second round there should be you should be able to float one spot yeah you float one spot because I don’t want either of those two guys to go home I want to get more of those dudes in the tournament um did you

See uh there was very very funny quote after Arizona Arizona beat the out of Long Beach State yes uh very funny quote from the athletic director at Long Beach State who fired Dan mson he fired Dan mson before their conference tournament Dan mson kept coming into work which kept winning also was very

Funny about it because Dan mson had a great quote where he said the day after he got fired he went into uh film study with his team and he’s like you see this close out guys this is what gets coaches fired yeah and they all laughed and

They’re like yeah great that hits hard so so the athletic director said the timing of his decision to part ways with Dan mson was done with the hope that it might trigger the exact run that led the team on unexpected to Mar bandis here’s the direct quote from him ready my

Belief and hope is that by doing what I did and the timing of it they would play inspired and that’s what they did I’m not trying to Pat myself on the back but it worked what a what a piece of that guy is yeah the Long Beach put a little scare into

Arizona for a minute there we had a couple scares but it was really just about Oakland and Kentucky uh and then the other big winner of the day I thought was the Pack 12 Washington State beat Drake Drake now this is just their MO they get in the tournament they get a

Lead at the end of a game and then they just stop scoring and lose that game the exact same thing happened to him last year against Miami uh so Arizona Washington State and then we had obviously Colorado won on Wednesday night and then well I’m gonna mention it

Again with Matt Jones but Dana Alman my most underrated coach in America I love how he coaches basketball Dana Alman in the Oregon Ducks similar run to NC State wouldn’t have been in the tournament WI win the Pack 12 tournament fun fact Dane Alman is now 8-0 in first round NCAA

Tournament games he is such a good coach and he has them going every single like overachieving every single year and so we have like Dana Alman ISO ISO did it again ISO did it again now it’s going to be ISO against UNCC which we talk about with Stanford Steve coming up in a

Little bit not to Pat myself on the back but just wait for that moment uh but but if Michigan State can win too then I think all the talk around ISO is forgotten because he has done a masterful job of just getting to a point where he doesn’t have any expectations

In the tournament every year and then he surpasses those expectations and it’s perfectly ISO because he has two guards like his team has not played well pretty much all year but he has two guards that when they do want to play well they’re a nightmare for anyone Y and that’s what

He does and yeah so it was it was a great day I mean like Tennessee took care of business too Tennessee took care of business Iowa State took care of business kraton had a little scare with akan at the beginning of the game but they took care of business yeah Texas

Took care of business alth Colorado State they caught Virginia they got they they got cavid 19 that was that was actually more embarrassing for Virginia yeah the fact that they scored 14 points against Colorado State and were in the first half and were the laughing stock of America on Tuesday night and then

Colorado State beat him by 25 showed up to the tournament and scored 11 points in the first half and it it makes it doubly worse for Cavaliers fans because they were so desperate for one team to lay a giant egg so that they could be like see we did Bel long in the

Tournament we’re taking all this heat other teams can have bad days too the one team that you couldn’t have that happen to was the team that beat you in Colorado State yes we also had uh oh you called MCN too good good call on giving out the MCN schedule yeah the University

Of women Mississippi University of women yeah is that what it was yeah they’re yeah they’re not MC nephew they’re MCN and biblical biblical studies biblical studies yeah they uh they got absolutely wed turns out you got to play a couple people Gonzaga looked looked damn good

And now we get a good uh Kansas Gonzaga Blue Blood matchup in the second round also shout out to Kane I hand up I was very wrong about that uh I thought that they were I mean we the the talk of the seating was that they shouldn’t have

Been an 11 seed they proved everyone wrong all the bid Steelers took care of business today Oregon Duane and NC State yeah they were all hot and uh so they yeah like they Duane I I was hand up very wrong they played lights out they

Held on it felt like BYU was going to maybe steal it back from them but they are a tough tough team yeah so the stat is that uh number 11 seeds are 27 and 25 in the first round since 2010 yeah which is pretty impressive you said it elens

Are the new 12 yeah and then number uh three seeds also dominate the six seeds number three seeds and the later rounds are 22 and five I guess you just don’t want to be a you don’t want to be a six seed yeah that’s the kiss six seed well

Cuz it kind of makes sense because the six seed usually is a team that was had flashes of being good but probably faded at some point their schedule you know what I mean like it’s that weird it’s kind of what the five seed was for a

Long time and yeah I mean six seeds had a very bad day they went 0 and three yeah very bad yeah very bad day to be a six seed uh yeah Texas Tech got absolutely worked by NC State uh also we should mention the Dayton comeback um we

Also have a co-worker who went to Dayton duges who was literally crying after the come now Dayton was uh the seven seed they were underdog but yeah they were they were underdogs they were two point underdogs Two and a Half Point underdogs oh happy birthday to Dave pornoy uh didn’t realize that he

Just Max just pulled up his Twitter and he had the balloons duges was crying though Dayton was an incredible incredible comeback they basically was like a 22 run so 56 to 40 on the win probability Nevada had 99.5% chance jeez and Nevada scored Four Points the rest of the game seven

Minutes crazy I mean it was an awesome day I lost a lot of bets but that’s not what it’s about it’s about having fun with your friends it’s about the bets that you didn’t make that would have lost yeah and when I say having fun with your friends that’s loser talk for

Someone who doesn’t win their bets because if I won my bets I’d be like it’s about winning bets it was still fun it was still a fun day for I think the first time in four years I’m up after day one I’ll take that I’ll take that

That’s a huge you just got to make positive steps yeah that’s a huge huge huge win do we miss anyone um I think we hit pretty much all I think you guys hit all of it but I think this Kansas sford story is going to just blow over because

Of the timing of it but it was a bad EG and they would have had numbers the other way to take the lead like yeah I think they made they made that call because he fell hard that’s it yeah that’s why they made the call it was uh

Shout out by the way to Sam for alum Devin Hodges duck you remember him the Steelers I love duck yeah he’s he’s the only guy that I know went to Samford uh that was that was bad you have every right to be mad online you have every

Right to go January 6 on the NCAA offices yes if you’re sford and I know you can say like oh there’s so many other calls you shouldn’t have been down 20 yes but in that moment that’s that’s a bad one bad but also sford was dead they were like capital capital D dead

For most of the game and then they just put together this crazy run and you look up and you’re like oh this still alive bucky ball they just Chuck threes and they and they press and they were just given up a million points in the

Paint be would you say that um with some of the upsets the bracket opens up real nice for JMU or Wisconsin well we haven’t played our quadrant yet so just saying yeah sure yeah sure I’m just I’m I’m All optimism right now sure I haven’t kind of beaten

Out of me yet yeah um all right before we do some picks for tomorrow uh we got to quickly talk about sh otan it’s appropriate timing for it yeah yeah so sh Otani one of the weirdest stories that broke uh when Wednesday night so The Story Goes he went to the media and

Was like my interpreter I had to wire money to my interpreter because he was in gambling debt $4.5 million yeah so Otani and his representative yeah talked to the media so it was somebody that was I don’t know if it was his manager but somebody that was there to tell the

Media like the official story right so he he was like the official story is my interpreter I had to send him 4 half million doll because he was in gambling debt and then almost immediately after that he’s like wait no he actually stole the money from me mhm I I was joking

Yeah cuz maybe it would look bad if you were like my interpreter is 4 and a half million in debt and people were like huh that’s weird your interpreter $4.5 million in debt and they were seen in The Dugout of the baseball game the MLB game uh like laughing and joking The

Interpreter and Otani after this statement had been released and uh they it didn’t look like somebody that stolen $4.5 million from it looked like someone who was like we should take Oakland money line it looks like someone that was like we got away with this yeah so

Uh there’s a problem there’s a lot of problems um one is I’m just I’m going to take Otani at his word okay I’m going to say that the well we don’t know his word because he doesn’t have an interpreter anymore okay well I’m going to take him at his representative’s first word okay

Before he fired The Interpreter yep um which is beautiful that he now doesn’t have to answer questions because you have an interpreter yeah so the so the guy and correct me if I’m wrong here but The Interpreter who makes what $200,000 a year correct was $4 million in debt

Correct how would that happen because yeah the only way it would happen would be if they were using a bookie that was willing to give that interpreter that amount of credit correct if he makes $200,000 a year why would the bookie give him $4 half million do worth of

Credit you’re asking very good questions it would be no different than if memes there was a story that memes was $5 million in debt to a bookie and everyone’s like huh I wonder whose money is like what yeah so doesn’t make sense I’m just connecting some Dots here uh and

Baseball’s got a big problem because B problem Shi Otani stands to make MLB hundreds of millions of dollars if not more Yep over the course of his career he’s playing in the biggest Market by the way maybe that’s why he moved to Los Angeles was because he loved betting on

His team so much and he couldn’t make any money off it uh with the angels so he moved to the Dodgers so they could win some games he could get some money also uh California doesn’t have legalized gambling they do not so again this was all on credit with an illegal

Bookmaker and uh it seems to me like baseball given how much money they stand to make from Otani really does not want to have to treat Otani like they would anyone can you imagine if it was a utility player yeah that paid off $4 and half million how fast would that guy be

Banned for baseball for life and let’s just let’s do a hypothetical real quick just a quick hypothetical cuz hypothetically speak well no this part is real uh news flash I like to gamble okay mhm hypothetically speaking though if someone were to give me $700 million knowing that I like to gamble I’d

Probably ask for it in little pieces not all upfront maybe a deferment because I know that I like to gamble and I don’t want all the money right away cuz I like to gamble how pissed do you think otani’s interpreter was if it was really him that was in debt that’s like don’t

Worry I’m good for it I got a big payday coming in soon we’re about to sign a new contract and then otani’s like hey man yeah we’re not going to get that money for 10 years he like we’ll get a little bit we’ll get enough to to you

Know March Madness yeah just get us through just get us through the NCAA tournament we’re fine what do you say Hank it’s gonna sound crazy but four and a half million from for what he makes is also not that much oh yeah for Otani right yeah but for his interpreter yeah

No that that’s like like he’s un SI isn’t it for for all relatively speaking yeah isn’t crazy I mean you hear like you know like Floyd Mayweather bets a million dollars a game it’s like that’s that’s eye popping but then you’re like wait but Floyd May Mayweather makes like

A hundred million do a fight so Mya yeah for his interpreter that’s a lot that’s a big that’s a big number my idea for Rob Manford is very simple you just do the reverse Jordan on him and you tell him he has to go play minor league

Basketball for four years I like that what was he gambling on Sports that’s what I want to know so yeah the the best case if it was American Sports then it was definitely him because The Interpreter was explaining to American Sports how do you want to bet it the the best case

Scenario I think for the uh MLB is like it was somehow Casino related but I don’t think it sounds like it is no and and that’s Mar situation that’s where that’s where there’s another problem is if the only way that you could expect a bookmaker to give a guy $4.5 million

With a credit to bet on if he makes2 Grand a year is if that guy is doing other stuff for you yeah if that guy is giving you inside information that you would that he would know because he’s inside a clubhouse every single day interesting situation MLB has their

Hands in now very interesting yeah so that’s it we we’ll see what happens uh this also all broke when he’s overseas right because they they started uh the season in Japan no Korea Korea uh so yeah we’ll see when he gets back but again it’s very funny because he’s going

To walk in and they’re going to ask him questions like I don’t have an interpreter MH he gambled too much do you think Hank when you said like explain American Sports to him do you think he doesn’t know like how to bet on basketball his wife is a basketball player

Facts she’s actually a bucket she is with all due respect I’d knock get out of the park but like football yeah okay yeah hockey so we’re gonna we’re GNA find out a lot more God it would rule if sh Otani was betting on maxtion what if what if sh otani’s like

Goddamn bulling green would if shotani is an ican would if would add up he trust the data too much if they’re sitting there watching you know NFL on a Sunday the interpreter’s probably explaining things to him so The Interpreter is the bad Gambler no sh is the bad Gambler right

But if it’s American Sports then it’s knows how to I think he probably watches football and knows how to bet on football allegedly his interpreter SL sh but yeah there’s going to be a lot of lot of twists and turns in this story as it ends up coming out and B baseball’s

Painted itself into a corner as being like the ultimate like high and mighty moral Arbiter of all things good and evil yep and you got Pete Rose Pete Rose is watching this closer than anyone yeah pet Rose is like what are you going to do to sh yeah yeah and and all the

Steroid guys so yeah it’s going to be interesting um but yeah we’ll update as it goes along I’m sure we’ll have updates on Monday’s show uh all right should we do some Quick Picks before we get to Matt Jones so Uber Eats this is the weekend for Uber Eats I’m gonna say

We’ve known him for a very long time we hate to have to bring him on this show under these circumstances but it is Matt Jones Matt uh where do you want to start what went wrong Kentucky get you know bows out of the tournament in disgrace

Yet again loses to 14 seed Oakland uh you can just tell us where what you’re feeling or where you want to start because sure we have some follow-up questions but the floor is yours speak for Kentucky you know the last time you had me on your show was when Mitch McConnell

Got me kicked off the radio and I didn’t have a job and I think this is worse I’ll be honest with you I think this is uh I think this might be worse it’s terrible you know lad to St Peters and Oakland two of the last three years um

And I think probably the end of the calip Perry era there’s a really good CH whoa I mean I I mean I don’t think it’s certain but I think a lot of the fans want that um and it’s just sad you know listen you guys are fans of of your

Teams when you really really love something and and it’s it feels like the end of an era tonight and that kind of sucks yeah that is that is tough uh his buyout is what $33 million to to L cont yeah it’s not my it’s por nois kind of

Money not ours but uh but but but they may have to do it because this fan base I’ve never seen him this upset ever yeah so um I was reading some stats earlier that Kentucky has only won one NCAA Tournament game since 2019 these are actually your stats that you tweet out

And that Kentucky has won one SEC tournament game since 2019 though it’s hard it’s hard to hear that and not be like what the hell is going on at Kentucky like what is how did it how did he get to this point well you guys were

The first ones to ever put him on the hot seene yeah but we also said to give him an extension yeah yeah I’m looking forward to hosting this summer I hope you’ll do it again you’ll have a lot you’ll have a lot to talk about I think he’s kind of gotten a

Little big for the program I think he his relationships here are pretty poor he has no relationship with the ad no relationship with the boosters no relationship with the media you know you guys know I used to be pretty close with him he does not like us now at ksr it’s

Just unfortunate because I think he’s a good dude but you know sometimes times end right like sometimes you just got to say that’s it and I I think I don’t know if we’re there but I think we’re pretty close yeah so so C has been very vocal

In the last several years about how proud he is of his track record with guys that he brings into the program develops them gets them into the NBA and then gets them massive contracts in the NBA his alumni right so that’s kind of what he’s hung his hat on and he had a

Quote after today’s game that says it’s going to be hard for me to change that bringing in freshmen because we’ve helped so many young people and their families that I don’t see myself saying okay we’re not going to include freshman anymore so I don’t with with a coach

Like that I understand where he’s coming from but I can’t see a fan base really having that message resonate with him if you’re not also winning right so they hate that the fans here hate that hate that he says like the draft is is the important thing changing like everybody

Likes the draft but you know I could sit here and go through the players he’s had just just in the last like eight or nine years Shay Alexander Devin Booker Tyrese Maxi right uh you know Cas Wallace all these guys Oscar sheway all these dudes they’ve won and then they haven’t won

Anything and I think that fox monk adabo all these guys Jamal Murray and like to have all those dudes and every and think about all those guys I just mentioned not one final four and that entire group yeah except I mean Carl Devon Booker made the final four but the rest of them

No final fours I think that’s that’s a lot I think people are kind of tired of it and then to say he’s not going to change I mean look I will tell you when I saw gunkle or whatever his name was on Oakland I thought of you two because I

Thought those you guys had to love him right real H hairline yeah play D3 basketball and he goes out he’s talking trash 30 points but losing to dudes like that when you’ve got the players Cal has dylian ham and Shepard gonna be top 10 picks I think fans are just kind of over

Yeah that that is the the extra pain that Kentucky goes through because it’s very rare that they don’t have a more talented team and they keep having these disappointments so let me ask you this if Cal somehow stays is there a fix because it to me the biggest issue with

Kentucky right now is that it’s a lot of recruiting and not a lot of coaching I’ve watched a lot of Kentucky basketball this year there wasn’t a lot of like set plays there was a lot of guys who were really talented off the dribble the defense never came around he

Said he was going to do some tweaks there were no tweaks it felt like he was the last person on Earth to find out that Oakland ran a Zone and that gy could shoot from anywhere so like to me I’m just watching that game and I’m like

Did Kentucky did they plan anything for this game or were they just going to roll the ball out and say we’re better than you because it feels like that’s what happens time and time again so is there if Cal says you know if he says in two weeks I’m hiring the best assistant

Coaches I can find we’re going to get back to basics we we have to we have to actually run some stuff and and and teach these guys basketball that’s winning basketball would the fan base be like okay maybe this is different I mean maybe but first of all he would have to

Admit that which he won’t I mean he does he believes that the way he plays is the way you should play I mean after the game today he said we had a lot of freshmen do things they’ve never done before but you watch the game I mean we

They ran a Zone a little dunk Zone and Kentucky couldn’t get any shots open I mean listen Oakland should have won by more yeah they missed 11 free throws I’ll even say we got the good side of the whistle right like I think we got some good calls so it could have been

Worse no there’s no assistant he won’t listen to him you know listen how many 60 however many year old how many of those guys do you know that change yeah the best thing here’s one of the things I like about the culture you guys have

At BARC you guys have you two are very successful Dave is very successful but you all are surrounded by people that are not on your all’s level in terms of like success but you give each other a hard time and you listen to each other right and so like you will listen to

People that might be lower on the food chain but like you’ll consider what they say Cal’s not like that Cal is in charge people can say whatever he wants he’s still going to do what he wants to do and that’s a good way to lose your grip on success that’s that’s crazy me

Because it’s just it’s it’s so nuts to be this coach who’s been wildly successful and not like Sabin is the perfect example how many times did Sabin change what he did when the when he would he won national titles where he was running the football and playing great defense then linebackers got you

Know smaller and and people were spreading it out he got Tua and all those wide receivers and it was that shape shifting of like I will get with the times Cal like that that stat I know you you probably know it you know in the

Back of your hand but like up until I think what was the LSU game uh they hadn’t hit a gamewinner in in forever because they literally just didn’t they ran the same play every time for a game-winning shot and it’s like teams knew this 32 shots until the Mississippi

State game they had 32 shots at the end of games to win and they had missed all of them right which which is like a crazy which is a crazy stat and then they hit the one uh with Shepard this year sav’s a great example CU to me

Sabin is an exact example of what you should do like Cal would never bring in a lane kein kind of guy to be an assistant like he would never do that but that’s what Sabin Sabin is the most successful coach of all time but he had

The humility to say look I need help with this right I need to bring this guy in for modern offense Cal won’t do that um listen when dudes get a certain age they do not change and the ones that do are special Sabin um did that right SOI

Was recruiting a certain kind of way and then he goes you know what I gotta go get the the Stars I gotta go get the the star freshman and he did and they kind of took a lot of Cal’s guys like think about Zion yeah Zion would have been a

Kentucky player back in the day cal made K change that’s a fact exactly right he did and now and now Cal needs to change back because Jay Wright Tonight said it the best because of nil these dudes are staying in college longer and that’s about to happen like you’re going to see

Good player stay in college for three and four years and I just don’t know if you can win with freshman anymore because these I mean hell the guy two of the starters on Oakland were 24 years old we’re starting three guys that are 18 that’s a big difference yeah yeah

Yeah know you’re right have you have you allowed your mind to wander yet have you thought who would look good in Kentucky Blue oh man I’m gonna throw a couple names out there all right let me hear and if we’re talking buyouts there’s a guy down uh in Alabama who just got new

Contract ra with a massive buyout but if you want to win Nate oats is a hot name yeah but Nate oats hadn’t won anything though I mean like he talks I like he trash talking but he doesn’t win anything yet now maybe he’ll do it this

Year but he hadn’t won anything I like that map because I was floating that out there to see if you if y’all were still Kentucky yeah and you’re still Kentucky yall still Kentucky what about hey Matt what about Coach K what about get him out of retirement I mean here’s what do

First of all if Cal is gone and I don’t think that’s certain but let’s say once the first thing they’ll do is I know the first two people they’ll call they’ll call Jay Wright and they’ll call Brad Stevens and they’ll say any chance yeah my guess is both of them would say no

But that’s the first thing they would do yeah and then I think they their next thing would probably be Scott drew at Baylor would be who they would try to get but I’ll tell you after Scott drew I would ask you guys like there’s not an

Obvious is no yeah there is he was he was on this show and he said that he never should have left Kentucky he said such nice things about question had Rick patino on how did you not ask him about some of the stories I told on your all

Show here ago we were very intimidated we and we also we we we had it was the most that PFT and I like talked about an interview before doing an interview we’re like okay this guy was nice enough to come in we said a lot of things y we

Have to obviously own up to some of the things without getting into too much detail which I think we did well but we were like the we’ve done some interviews that we haven’t aired where we screwed up by kind of being like it didn’t go well right away and we’re just like so

We’re like let’s have a good interview here uh but yeah it was in our mind the entire time listen I thought I’m kidding you I thought you did a great job like people people want you to be jerks to people when you interview them and you

Can’t like like it’s hard to do that and I thought you guys thought you made him seem very likable which he is Matt we’re Rino guys now I wanted I wanted at least one down my leg though I did I went one down my leg I I I bit the out of

The inside of my cheeks at one point during the interview just like don’t do a PFT it went against everything in my nature and I hated it but yeah you think people Remember by the way how crazy that story is oh yeah do you do you but

No I mean like the he takes his equipment manager asked him to take the woman to get an abortion this sounds like this sounds this sounds fake to me we’re Rick patino guys now but they fell in love at Subway overway that’s a beautiful place that’s a beautiful place different you got you

Got patino derangement syndrome $5 foot long listen I actually found myself this year guys and you know what my patino history is I found myself pulling for him at St John’s I wanted him to make the tournament actually yeah he does a Subway commercials like Jared but he’s

Holding up the pants stay on it listen he patino would be a great coach to go back to Kentucky but yeah I I mean it feels like Kentucky would would have the pick of the litter uh I don’t know I mean I’ll throw out another name who’s

The opposite of Cal and the fact that I think he’s a fantastic coach uh X’s and O’s what about Eric muselman Arkansas like that’s a guy like it’s even like little stuff like there’s certain coaches like all right so back to Cal and how he coaches like we saw today

Dana Alman Oregon coach I think he’s one of the most underrated coaches in in college basketball he always has teams overachieving to their talent level and and playing great tournament basketball throwing like the defense he threw at South Carolina today had them completely befuddled in the first half or like even

Shaka smart even it drives me nuts that he’s on the court but like going back to that you know game when they played against vill Nova he drew up the perfect play at the end of the game that ended up not counting but like those type of

Things where it’s like you have a coach that you know will steal you you know at least a few possessions a game when it comes to like out of timeout calls when it comes to little throwing little wrinkles at them for a possession here and there and that’s the stuff that like

Cal just doesn’t do and it would drive me nuts as a Kentucky fan it it does some I I think at this job though this is like again I know I don’t know if people outside of the state realize but like you have to be a rock star to be at

This job like this is a hard job in the state of Kentucky this is what we do I mean you guys know you’ve hosted the show every year like it’s it’s what people live for so you can’t be like Dana Alman looks like an accountant you

Can’t be an accountant you have to be a rock star you know if Nate oats had ever won he’s an example of a guy who has that personality but he still hasn’t won anything yet so I think it makes it hard this is tough normally there’s always a

Guy that I think well if Cal leaves we’d get this dude yeah right now I mean Scott drew he’s won a lie he’s kind of boring right like so like do you get do you get Scott drew that’s why I think they’ll go hard if Cal Lees again I

Don’t know if he will but Jay Wright and Brad Stevens would be J would be very good J what about TJ otzelberger I mean I want it’s Kentucky opposite rockar he’s a wrestler yeah yeah I want to win give me just give me somebody that will win the fact that

Like nobody got upset tonight but us that also makes it stink all the favores one except us tonight yeah no the 11 seeds had a nice showing but you’re right like it would it felt like all day we were just watching for that big moment it’s like oh here comes Kentucky

down their pants again uh all right so last question for you Matt uh you your show which everyone should tune in tomorrow what are you expecting in terms of uh the anger and the calls I would imagine there’s probably people already on hold right now waiting to

Waiting to talk to you but is it going to be one of those shows where it’s just going to be people just calling in and ripping them apart well I already did a postgame show a little while ago and we had one person cry okay uh we had one

Person very very angry we had a couple of people drunk hang say Cal better get out of here so there I think it’ll be more of that um I don’t think we’re g to be very reasonable to be honest with you this is amongst this fan basees many

Things they’re not reasonable is not one of them I want to say one thing and I want to do it on your show because people your listeners need to hear this these two dudes I’ve known these two dudes now since before they were popular I’m telling you the guys you hear I get

Asked this all the time about you all like are those really nice guys the guys you hear on the show this is how they are in real life they are kind to people that they don’t need to be kind to and I know they’re funny and hilarious and

Super successful but they’re as good a guys as you hope they would be which I can’t say about everybody and I just want to say that on your well we appreciate than mat I’m glad to hear the check cleared good well let me ruin that

For you let me ruin that for you real quick Matt um would you say the last time that uh this fan base was truly happy with Coach Cal and Kentucky basketball was uh March 28th 2015 when you beat Notre Dame the Elite 8 to punch

Your ticket to the final four at 38 to 380 would would that be the last time you know that might be right I think we were pretty happy up until we lost to Carolina in 2017 and I got sued by John Higgins and won the lawsuit in the six

Circuit that’s the last time maybe we were happy but your Wisconsin team I don’t even want to hear it it’s it’s still the thing I hold against you the most in life that’s fair it’s it’s probably my like one of my happiest moments and it didn’t end well a couple

Days after that but that that’s the kiness of it all though like big cat’s favorite moment is beating you guys that’s how Kentucky yeah we didn’t even win it supposed to be Kentucky I revealed the brackets on ESPN and when I all James Madison versus Wisconsin I

Said on the ESPN show it’s the pardon my take matchup Y and then when I left I went into the restroom and somebody goes I’m not gonna say who it was but somebody goes maybe be careful talking about the pardon my tank mat come on that’s what everybody knows it yeah

They’re still we’re still we still you know what rent free rent free and ESPN head um Matt I heard that one caller called in today and said that uh you guys are now the new Indiana how did that how did that make you feel listen we are not that pathetic we would

Never wear those stupid striped pants and we would never make their stupid rap videos Indiana hasn’t been good in 25 years so I will not be insulted and be called Indiana okay last last last question uh are you guys a football school now

Oh yeah well I think we gotta go to a be a playoff first but I will say it’s now become more of a debate you guys would love Mark Stoops by the way oh we’ve had him on we’ve had him on yeah we’ve had

Him on he’s the best he was at and you would like Cal too you’re G to get Cal at some point and you’ll end up Charmed by him I think stops was at at BO pini’s um what tournament was that it was Z Bachi tournament Ohio yeah we had we had

Stoops in the back of the van I remember that you went you went to Youngstown that’s a good place for you guys yeah it was great thanks Matt all right well Matt thank you sorry again uh but you are the best and uh we can’t wait to host Kentucky sports radio this summer

Uh he is one of the sharpest guys we know what was your what was your record on Game Day this year not great four 4- one in 2024 4-1 2024 so we’re taping this on Tuesday afternoon so uh we’re going to run it Friday and we we’re like

We need to have Steve on and I think it’s the perfect time to have you on because Thursday already happened if you’re listening to this you got your teeth kicked in you got absolutely destroyed and Steve is going to help us navigate the Friday slate and hopefully

Win us some money uh Steve big thoughts though before the tournament starts uh this might be bad if you recommend a team that is playing on Thursday and then loses and you say oh they can win the final four but big overarching thoughts your Yukon Huskies look

Unstoppable uh what else you got that’s that’s the worry right there too much Yukon too much Yukon too much Yukon and it’s really really scary also Dan I thought you had this in your big brain you gotta have your final four teams on Friday just just so you have an extra

Day of the tournament right yes yes that’s a very good point that’s a very good point hopefully uh North Carolina beat the winner of Howard Wagner because all my other final four teams are playing on Friday that’s smart so no Tennessee no uh who’s the other one maybe Iowa State not a

Believer um no no what Futures do you have do you I know you you probably have a bunch of Futures what do you got I have Yukon all the way back at the beginning I think it was 18 to1 oo you got me trumped Ukon a couple uh Yukon a

Couple weeks ago to make the final four plus 125 okay um I’m still shopping around for a Duke not to make the sweet 16 because that’s even money I like that um I was hoping that’ be a better price knowing the teams that they’re in a

Little pod but I’m sure we’re going to talk about that yeah but um no I was I was solely based on Yukon uh I did not I didn’t buy any of the Houston I’m just um the Purdue Factor uh is obviously everybody’s Feelgood story except yours

Dan yeah so um I do have something in myself rooting for them but yeah we’re pretty stacked up on Yukon and now it’s pretty scary how much how should first of all how good they are but then again the belief because now they are the ultimate one seed last year they were a

Four and uh you know I thought they had I did I think right when Titus did it we were talking about them for the national title so it’s uh it’s Ben a storm Brun you guys have had early on there’s no messing around I think he’s a master

Motivator in what he does and I could see his motivation for every step of the way because this is the one thing about the tournament and you know right away it’s Yukon has the toughest Road right yukon’s bracket’s unbelievable same thing on the women’s side Caitlyn Clark’s bracket’s

Incredible okay I understand you see the teams in the bracket but on the bottom they can only play one team right so whoever comes out of that bottom and all lot of people are saying you know illino Iowa that’s going to be over hopefully both those teams moved on um but they

Only could play one of those teams same thing with uh San Diego State and Auburn or UAB in Yale like they could only play one of those teams so I I don’t look at the they’re not playing the whole bracket they they play whoever’s on the

Line in front of them and that’s why I don’t think it’s as tough a walk for Yukon and the biggest factor of all that no one brought up is they’re playing in Brooklyn and and Boston I know Connecticut’s in the middle of them yeah you know like it’s home games they’re

Home games I and all my friends can be as bitter and evil and just Flatout mean from Connecticut as possible and that’s all they’re saying to themselves like that they can’t wait to get to the gym have to complain about it’s a very nice thing that they have like built in you

Can get mad about that until until you start playing the games but then the way the tournament always shakes out you can’t like you can’t predict who’s going to win each game so who knows if they’re going to actually have to play two of those tough teams I I believe in bracket

Pools this will be the lowest score or least amount right ever oh ever ever ever I do I I think I I think you’re better off of of of getting on a team and and riding that thing with a future or you know betting to make the sweet 16

I think this bracket P I think it’s impossible yeah Max’s mic is on so we just heard you ever do that by mistake Steve yeah do you ever talk during svp’s show when he’s doing like one big thing and he’s getting real sentimental about something and then you’re in the

Background like on Mississippi State my producers do a good job in Bristol of if something serious is coming up to get in my ear have you ever uh when when Scott’s doing a monologue have you ever like gone on a monitor and just typed in Sydney Sweeney on Twitter scrolling

Through pictures while they’re trying to introduce the show does that ever happen that’s not what happened that happened here we were looking for topics it was she was number one trending thing on Twitter I wanted to see what was going on doing his job happened to be happen to be a picture of

Boobs yeah hey it happens you know hey live sometimes the one thing about Yukon that uh makes me nervous cuz I also bet him in December uh Rico BOS called him the 96 Bulls so that pretty much ends yukon’s run right there that that’s a whole another pod if we’re going to

Bring up that guy yeah he just just putting the mush all over them yeah I’m just wondering who who PFT who’s he gonna get a hat from after a sweet 16 running that’s going to be his his team all of them probably Isis yeah probably he be rocking rocking a Putin hat yeah

He does have some pictures all right so Steve you want to talk about our game you want rip off the Band-Aid you’re pot you’re pot I’m including all the guys yeah because you are a Duke fan uh I so I said it on Wednesday and I’m not

Being I’m not just doing this just to like guard myself I think this is a very bad matchup for Wisconsin I’m very nervous about this game they don’t defend the three well James Madison hits the three well uh what what’s your take unbiased take on this matchup all I’m

GNA fast forward uh I have Wisconsin in the final four Dan oh my God I like it Steve good pick why you think so you think that what happened in February doesn’t count they found their form again because that really was they were two different teams correct I I think

Really found their Farm against Maryland that helped because uh you know what that rivalry has been for so long that they found themselves and I’m at the ACC tournament and I’m I’m not with uh anybody and I just see the score and I’m like oh Lord yeah 40 points like this is

Put the phone down yeah it actually was it actually was bad because I like it when Wisconsin beats Maryland by a little bit so then I can get Scott really like he gave up in the first 10 minutes and one of my favorite things to do whenever Wisconsin like you said

Alltime rivalry Scott loves being in the Big 10 is whenever Wisconsin plays Maryland and Wisconsin wins uh you know usually be like nine o’clock at night I’ll FaceTime Steve knowing that he’s sitting right next to Scott and just be like talk about the game knowing that Scott’s just getting so upset next to

Him I believe this year my reply was not happening tonight yeah yeah I didn’t call this year cuz the coold center refs came through and they were calling some Madison whistle yep the Madison whistle but all right so you what you like Wisconsin the final four I do I do I

Love what I’ve seen from them I think store is an absolute Difference Maker um Chucky healthy is is good I mean to to withstand what they had to do against Purdue Dan yeah and and you watched them you guys I I checked in on the on the

Live stream you guys watching that game and I get it you know you had to do it what three times this year it is I sort of take Ed’s side though because he is Shaq no one knows how to defend him he gets that that guys just don’t get

And it is so different because he’s so big yeah you know it’s funny I got three little girls at home and whenever they’re on it’s like is oh my god there he is again like they just they are enamored with how big he is and I just

Think you know he’s he’s he is that good I I I give the kid a ton of credit um for for what he withstood he got his follow shooting better he’s in way better shape this year you could just see that but anyway Wisconsin just the

Team’s been through a lot man like they got seriously humbled in February yeah you lose to Michigan yeah like like that’s that’s as bad as it gets yeah and I I think there I mean there’s been passes with Wisconsin basketball teams with stuff off the court whether the

Locker room likes each other but I genuinely feel this team has the goods they’re as versatile as any of these Wisconsin teams maybe even more versatile uh because of athleticism at the guard at the guard spot than the team that lost in the national champ Championship yeah I know that team had

Pros but like what you want in this day and age with three-point shots an inside presence uh you know you mentioned the perimeter defense I get it but if you’re if if James bass’s gonna make 33s then they’re gonna be anybody in the country right maybe anybody in the world um but

I i’ like the offensive standpoint store could get a bucket at any single time uh heper is is the same way and that opens up a lot of stuff now do I feel confident no it’s it’s it’s it’s a five um you know going to the final four but

I just felt Houston um is is beat up man they they are not what they were at the beginning of the year I think they got their hands full uh I have A&M winning against uh Nebraska as much as I love nebrasketball and is Jake in there he is

Is in there did Jake go to the Vermont game Sunday no Saturday no when’s the last time he didn’t go I was at the championship game last year I know and then the year before right no oh okay I thought you were more loyal the uh but

You you have just to just to clear it up you have Wisconsin in the final four playing against Purdue um if you’re rooting for Big Cat sadness that’s that’s not a bad way to go oh my God although the happiness of beating Duke would kind of that’s true you get

That I listen Steve I I I like that you uh think think that we found something in yeah I mean the the Big 10 tournament like the the thing with Wisconsin is if they can hit their threes everything opens up you saw with in the Northwestern game when AJ store hits one

Or two threes no one can guard him off the dribble and then when you have to come out and like even crra hitting a top of the key you know key three that all opens up kman can obviously get hot but I just I just I I’m worried about

James madis just because I just I totally get it Dan I I get it and that’s and that’s the kickers I I I I went to see JMU the night before we uh PFT and hung out um at that great University and they are they’re as different a team

Because they just absolutely violate the three-point line right and your recipe for a tournament upset everybody loves that and they got purple and people love that so people love purple do people love purple people love purple okay yeah I’ll buy that but what about so um JMU

Hasn’t really played in big gyms Jake was talking to me about that earlier uh they they played at Michigan State obviously does that have anything to do like are is the moment going to be too big for these Dukes playing in Brooklyn no it’s about big duk’s energy that’s

That’s that’s the biggest thing here okay and the the lighting at the Barclays is always off to me I mean that A10 tournament is as dark a backdrop as possible uh so no I don’t I don’t worry about the I do worry about the rims these rims are brand new they bring them

In for it feels like every single pod uh they’re not you know what the Nets play on hopefully I was hoping you going to get those because they’re probably soft for what the Nets shoot on a nightly basis but no it’s it’s a it’s a real

Interest it do it does feel too public to me okay for for for the 12 everybody loves the 125 I get it um I like looking more towards down for upsets but I I get everybody’s withstand it’s GNA be a Fant it might be the best game of of the

First round uh so it’s it’s it’s my my my thing is just more inclined to what’s what’s what’s the bet for all four guys involved you mentioned the bet so it sounds like you’ve got some ideas I don’t know we haven’t we haven’t sat down and talked about the stakes of the

BET yet here’s my problem I’m sure there will be something here’s my problem so when we bet like we bet the commanders Bears game Thursday night football this year because both teams sucked and we’re like who cares yeah when when when we’re talking about the tournament or playoffs

Like I won’t even bet the game because it’s like I’m just all fandom in it you know what I mean what are you gonna say Max what about like an NBA playoff series where well you guys bet that I’m talking about myself I’m talking about myself personally like I care so much

About the Badgers in the tournament that like there’s already so much at at stake that like humiliation of losing in the first round sucks humiliation of losing to Duke would suck humiliation of Jake like you know being like Oh I’m kind of rooting for Wisconsin against Vermont

Like I I hope you guys have fun that would suck so there’s like no there’s nothing that could be it’s just torture is just waiting for me on the other side very simple for you Dan you’re in the best position of anybody oh I think I’m

In the worst no cuz you just throw in a James Madison money line bet and then when it happens you just tweet it out and say life’s fulfilled I’m good you won money you can win money off it I could never bet against my team I could

Never do that what is wrong with what is wrong with you how much would you pay how much would you pay to know that Wisconsin was going to advance 50K 50 yeah there you go and then JMU hits you get still probably another probably probably

100 to beat Duke if I could just pay for them to win the national title then you’re like a boo I would pay a million dollars if they won the national title this year I no problem okay I would be like I could just I could just be happy

For the rest of my life OD deal you’re gonna make it done uh talked about I will say this is what worries me about Vermont against Duke is Jake not being at the game like he went last year he was all in and now like kind of the

Shine is off of her mind everybody’s saying this isn’t as good a team as Becker has had they’re still G to be solid they play great defense and all the pressure is on Duke this is when I really get worried about this is when the Mercer happens this is when Lehi

Happens it’s when they’re on the four line and that’s that’s what scares me they’re as talented as anybody I just haven’t seen that angst uh a little more emotion would be nice and that’s what worries me about we’ve talked about doing some sort of bet where me and big

Cat meet in the middle in terms of our weights um if one person so I I’m not going to ask big cat how there are three things you don’t ask a woman how much she weighs uh person how much they make and big cat how much he weighs too um

But floating but the the loser should have to come to the other person’s weight like in a calendar year like what if I had to put on like 50 lbs just get fat as it would be funny it would be funny what do you weigh now uh I

Haven’t honestly it could be anything I haven’t weighed myself in like a year loser has to go to 210 loser goes to 210 I got I got way better you got you got four guys and you got the four teams Max has to pick a guy who he’s gonna

Back okay the winner of this pod gets to pick one of the losers and shave or cut his hair in the style that he wants oh man m so that but I’m gonna have to get odds like Jake and I would have to get odds on that 12 point underdogs we’ll take us

Something I I was thinking you said Max has to back one of us and if they lose Max has to do the punishment you no the person who wins pick could pick him oh Max is in the pool yeah I like this this gave that ponytail he’s got to back

Somebody Max that’s the first thing Max has to come to the Forefront yeah Max has to pick a perfect bracket in this quad and if not he gets punished yeah I like this oh yeah this is should have nothing to do with any punishment good idea that is not your

Style to not be part of it buddy great idea we’ll get back to Sanford Steve in a second quick word from our friends at visible pmt’s one take episode is powered by our friends advisible Wireless draining a halfcourt buzzer beater to win the game not easy switching to visible and saving on

That you love you mentioned Texas ANM I love Texas ANM in this game I think their guards are going to cause Nebraska problems I think they’re going to get they’re going to slow it down they’re going to get it like nice and dirty because Nebraska when they go when they

Go nuclear it’s fun to watch but I think they can bother them I I totally agree I love what I saw from A&M uh against um Tennessee in that tournament and just the a wherewithal I think they won six to seven uh you know coming in when when

All the pressure was on them they they were they were out they were outside the bubble and really got it together uh that the intensity of that that the Nebraska A&M game is gonna be a fun one yeah um you know with Nebraska being back in the mix they play a fun style

Take the over in that game uh it might be the highest over on the board uh or maybe that’s no Alabama Charleston Oh okay Alabama Charleston’s at like 173 now yeah 173 and a half oh wow that’s getting a little crazy it’s getting a little crazy you got to play a

Perfect game for 173 and a half so what other bets on Friday have you circled uh recency bias I’m known to be a custom of that I have it probably definitely with uh with Wisconsin I like New Mexico uh I I really like I mean Dent is the guard

That mostly takes care of the ball he didn’t even play in the in the Mountain West Title game and they did it with with mass Jr and in house uh they were spectacular that’s what you want they’re the perfect mix you got a patino in there knowing that you know son probably

Knocked out the dad uh when they got an automatic bid but I think New Mexico is playing as well as anybody uh I mean their ability from the three-point line they got some young bigs that are good they’ll be tested against PJ Hall Clemson you know is is not gonna get

Picked because of how bad I mean I was there against BC they were they were pathetic yeah um and and you can’t expect them to come out with that effort knowing how close they’ve been to the tournament and now that they’re in but I do like them I mean they’re an 11

They’re favored uh I think they’re I I believe they’re the better team I really would like to see New Mexico and Baylor in the second round that’s that’s a fantastic uh game I I Jake would you rather have Vermont playing duke or Auburn because I’m thinking of like Yale

And Vermont in the same category I’d rather be playing Duke right now just the way the two teams are playing yeah uh Auburn could not they can’t be better than they were yeah this past they they they just can’t um and Titus brought up a good point on Wednesday Auburn is playing incredible

But they also didn’t have to play the top three teams in the SEC correct they didn’t have to go through Tennessee or Kentucky or Alabama they you know and it’s no offense to the SEC but their run they they did beat two what two out of three tournament teams in Florida and uh

Mississippi State yeah but still it’s a little bit different than having to go through that Gauntlet yep they beat A&M too in the championship right no they beat Florida oh yeah they’d be Florida they be Florida and Florida’s a team I absolutely loved coming in before the

Injury I I I honestly thought they could have won a national championship um I still think they could do some damage uh I thought they got a tough draw with um playing the winner of the the playing game and then you know marquette’s sitting there marquette’s a team that

Scares me because of how valuable and how good kic is uh it feels like kuy is way too public for me um just knowing how many people have picked them to go to the Final Four uh Grand Canyon is really interesting uh totally different style of play that

They’re going to play against St Mary’s and um the games in Spokane I it feels like both those fan bases there you know Grant Canyon’s done a great job of creating a great home atmosphere wherever they go where it feels like in in um the southwest of of the country uh

But I I see I would pick Grant Canyon in that one uh St Mary’s Jefferson injury has been huge for them it really hurts them um as far as defense and that’s what you need uh tyion the kid for Grant uh Grand Canyon is a pro uh if you

Haven’t seen him I I think he’s he’s going to be a name uh that you’re going to know for sure Alabama is an absolute sham crapshoot like I I don’t I Charleston see here’s the deal with with a Charleston even a UAB and a Vermont like those teams I don’t think they’re

As good as they have been in years past but they they they do a good job of play you know doing what makes them successful and obviously if you can make threes against Bama you’re gonna be in it because all they do is is is shoot

Threes in layups and try and block your shot so that that’s an interesting matchup I would side with Bama winning I I could see myself taking the points uh with College of Charleston in that one I I should have mentioned by the way I Auburn did beat South Carolina as well

Which so they beat three tournament teams but they didn’t beat Kentucky and Tennessee and uh you know uh who was the the big dogs yeah the big dogs what about Northwestern so I don’t have the the spread pulled up in front of me we’re in Illinois right now so it’s not

On our Sports books uh last I saw was FAU minus 2 and a half okay so I like Northwestern and my analysis is twofold real in-depth here okay one boooy is fun to say and he’s fun to root for he’s a good player booooy you’re going

To want to say that name a lot um number two is a lot of chatter about Dusty May a lot of chatter a lot of chatter about next destination maybe going up to Kentucky somewhere uh I I like Northwestern in this game I guess they are true underdogs because a lot of

These seeds we’re talking about earlier get the the higher seeds they’re actually favored by Vegas but um I like Northwestern sounds like you like them too I do I do just because of how much everybody has jumped on this Yukon has all the final four teams from last year

Well if FAU was that good they wouldn’t I thought they got overseed I don’t think they should be an eight seed uh obviously everybody knows the story of what they did last last year nobody capitalized on the opportunity that they got last year more than them getting to

Play fairly Dickinson in the next round uh I thought really that got themselves going uh towards their final four run but it it FAU just feels way too public to me uh I still think North they they’re another team I I really like Northwestern when they were fully

Healthy and now they got two injuries but I boooo is fantastic uh I I think Northwestern will make enough outside shots uh and I like being on the other side of the public in that one so I do have Northwestern play UK you guys always talk about fading the public I

Know you talk about a lot in college football season is the public stuper in football or in basketball in the college game I feel like with the bracket it is yeah yeah yeah yeah because it’s it’s really like really centrally focused um like you feel like don’t you feel like

You know everybody’s Underdog picks yeah yes you know like that that’s that’s that’s the that’s the good part of of the days leaning up is is you’re really oh you like oh I got it you like James Madison too got it heard that heard that

So they get talked up the th those teams certain teams get talked up to a point where like it feels like everyone’s on this team and I also just think in terms of like fading the public you can’t just fade the public that’s impossible because the public does win but uh

Whenever you have events that have a massive amount of like I don’t want to say casuals but casuals gambling it definitely changes the dynamic no doubt no doubt and it’s it’s and like I said I’m I’m caught in it with Wisconsin in the final four with my the the hardest

Thing to do projecting and betting in sports is to forget what the team looked like their last time out yeah right and they lost Wisconsin did but they were fantastic you know in in what they did New Mexico was as good as they played all year and it’s hard and you know that

New Mexico Clemson I mentioned it before that’s the there there’s not a bigger difference of perception of teams with how hot New Mexico is and how not good Clemson looked in their last game so I do feel uh like that but I I always have

An 11 going to the Sweet 16 and in New Mexico is mine this year oh okay um any upsets any one or two seeds that should at least be on be on the Steve alert I think Houston Houston just because they’re not healthy and and the way they

Play with just you know getting up under you defensively and making everything so hard and not being an uptempo team at the same time gives me a notion that teams can hang around with them and A&M has guys that can score some buckets uh and and so does Nebraska so that that I

Think Houston has the toughest matchup uh when it comes to second round games for the one seats North Carolina um never mind cut that no you could say that no because I mean this will be Saturday preview too so if North Carolina’s playing Mississippi State or Michigan State that that’s the next

That’s the next toughest to me yeah because I I think people will be shocked so if Michigan State wins their first round game I think people will be shocked when that line comes out and it’s like double digs no I think it’s G be way less I think it’d be like North

Carolina favored by like five no it’ll be at least seven you think so yes okay all right we’ll make a bet we’ll make a wing bet on that I like that betting on a bet yeah we’re betting on a bet betting on a bet so I have anything under

Seven yeah okay and Seven’s a push Seven’s a push seven Max wi I went on seven I’m the guest no well you said 10 you said double digits so I think seven has to be a push seven and a half you get you were listening to me yeah yeah

No I’m listening I’m listening what what does the uh March madis setup look like for Stanford Steve because you don’t go to Vegas you go to Vegas for Conference Championship uh did that uh ACC was here so I did that um I will split some time

Here at uh the great Cleveland Park Bar and Grill in DC um watching games there with all the TVs and then my setup is really good at home I I got I got four TVs uh ready to go so they will be on constantly and I will be on the couch I

Do like to watch a lot of these games by myself I it’s it’s it’s the fantasy football mentality I think going out to watch NFL regular season games now is is is um what do they call um New Year’s Eve is a JV holiday now yeah I feel like

That’s a JV way of going because all anyone is yelling about is their fantasy team yeah it just drives me nuts but I do like to get around the energy so I’ll I’ll do that Thursday and the night sessions I’ll be at home uh locking in

Uh with all the TVs going and uh only four TVs it’s all I need do you have a uh have a fifth nit is going to be play I guess it doesn’t play exact Saturday they play some nit games early what do you think about Villanova’s chances in the

NIT uh it depends if they want to play okay MH what do you think it’d be funny if they finish second that would be the best would you watch a m Max live stream of the NIT games I’m trying to get him to live stream no one wants to watch

That I would would what about a personal feed just for me and you Steve would you watch it I I I could I I’ll FaceTime in a couple times okay yeah I think you just described FaceTime just P just FaceTime big cat while you’re watch I’m

On Cameo do came only fans oh we should put Max’s Max watches only fans oh you just get only fans feed of Max watching all his Sports just him being sad we could get so much money from that just give out a cell phone number check in

Get I’ve been trying to do the five miles a day PFT really yeah yeah so uh driving not driving there’s uh majority jogging there’s been some we’ve been up ticking on the running um but uh yeah we’ve been we’ve been trying 35 miles uh last week wow

You Steve walks yeah Ste as your as the protector of Scott velt and you’ve done a very good job of that you are his uh like bounc Char Oaky yeah his Charles Oakley were you were there was there any hesitation having him do Frank walks no okay you didn’t think that Frank was

Just going to throw him into the reflecting pool no no no no cuz cuz Scott deserves a lot of credit he is uh an every man I when we were setting it up I was like Scott will you do this he was like no problem I was like all right

Who should I contact to get it your schedule set and he’s like just have him text me so Scott was texting with jensx and maybe Frank and like I don’t know many guys in Scott’s shoes that would be like yeah just throw him my number and

He was in he was all the way in there there’s been a long lost love I would say all along yeah yeah yeah I agree they they did find some common ground there yeah yeah it was beautiful yeah I mean there there’s not there’s not a better I mean francess was walking feel

Felt like on the streets during garbage day they had garbage trucks going around and Scott was down by the reflective pool it was it was it was gorgeous there was a second when Frank started talking about vaccines that you could see the look on Scott’s face where he’s like

What what have I gotten myself into this he’s great at changing the subject did a wonderful job with that D I never got back to you after game day at JMU like being at game day every Saturday and then like doing like we did we left the

Office um facetimed a couple friends to check in that got mentioned on the show yeah and then we made our way to the tailgate and the game and I would rank JMU as the biggest amount of drunkness I saw walking from the office to the stadium yeah do you remember how messed

Up people were yeah they got after and it was also like it was 1:00 in the afternoon it was a very special occasion too I I expected like a big state school like an LSU probably the uh the average BAC over the course of a a season’s worth of Saturdays probably higher but

Since it was college game Day Day and the stakes were so high it was like just a big it was like like you said St Patrick’s Day for for Central Virginia it was wonderful yeah the amount of grown women we asked for directions to the tail G yeah that just couldn’t even

Speak they had no idea was UN numerous well because they ALS they changed the campus up so much since a lot of those people had been there they’re like I don’t know the library used to be over here okay all right thank you ma’am take

Care uh no that was it was a it was a very fun time I’m glad that we got to experience that together and the facetimes afterwards yeah uh pretty incredible if you follow if you follow Texas football message boards you can probably put together who we were

Talking with and her monkey her monkey was also there was that yeah fantastic time uh Steve off the tournament question are Hank Celtics going to win the NBA title no oh the oh they’re so not I I will say this sounds like a yes I want it to be Denver Boston

Because that’s that’s what I want in the NBA like all this stuff about the teams and the drama off the court and all the stuff that whatever NBA Twitter loves to talk about you won’t have in that game you will have the best player in the

World going to one of the most storied franchise if not the most storied franchise trying to get back on top like that that’s what that sport needs to me because when it comes to Pure basketball I believe those are the two best teams uh but I don’t see Boston beating Denver

Because he the best player oh your comments Hank I’d like to see it happen I think we would you think they’ll be in the in in the uh finals though it’s a team game Stanford Steve understood understood right Denver’s got a pretty good team like yic plays pretty good team basketball

Yeah it doesn’t matter like you you for could go out there yeah yeah you get you’ll get a couple whims in the playoffs yeah he’d get us some open looks for sure um Steve back to the Frank uh the Frank walks thing again so I don’t know how involved behind the

Scenes you are in the graphics department on Sport Center but maybe one time this season As a treat as a treat if the Mets lose Could you actually have the logo Spin and have have Scott’s head spin as they go into sports center all right because Frank has made up this entire

Like fictional World In His Head where where Scott loves it when the Mets lose and his head starts spinning around just like you don’t have to talk about it but just as Sports Center intro just have like a little SVP logo with a head spinning around maybe yeah or maybe like

A if you do Sunday night baseball and the Mets lose like maybe like a pinata of Frank and be like Mets lose Mets lose because what we’re doing it’s actually sick what we’re doing is we’re taking Frank’s fictional world of torture that he’s made for himself and we’re we’re

Turning it into reality so but I think that’s actually good for Frank because you be like see I was right all along yeah that would that would be the end that would he would he would win that one yeah uh no but we’ve done the optimism meter with me and I’m I’m a

Dieh hard born loser Mets fan and it’s just I I I’ve seen it too many times that is funny that you are you’re you are a Die Hard Mets fan and you are on that show and still Frank is like they hate the Mets yeah yeah like there’s not

A team I love more and them but I’ve come to reality to expect the worst well you’re Yukon Huskies no they’re not my team Steve what do you think about Major League Baseball strategy of having opening day overseas during the NCAA tournament quite something when you say it out loud

Like that it sounds it sounds just about as bad as you can get yeah yeah it’s it’s brutal Steve what especially when they’re trying to get back to where they were yeah you know yeah that one’s tough what what team in the tournament would have uh worked worse for your or or the

PO poorest nickname because you’re Stanford Steve but like would would uh Grand Canyon Steve have worked if you had gone there St Peter Steve that would have worked I always think about that you went to Stanford SS but like what what happens if you had decided to go to mcne

State mcne state Steve how about Drake Steve Steve would be good get fade going your whole life would be different if you went somewhere I mean you could have been Notre Dame Steve n could have Steve got a huge hog do you regret not going

To Notre Dame I don’t I don’t why you would have you would have been able to get like a cushy job as an executive somewhere in Chicago yeah that’s not fun H I guess that’s probably Point Florida Steve would never get a job Florida Steve would rock yeah you’d be a lot of

Fun to hang out with yeah I don’t know I don’t know if Florida Steve would be alive wait what were the other what were the other schools that you were deciding between uh North Carolina North Carolina Steve would be cool yep Duke okay Duke Steve would suck yeah Howard Steve not

Howard Grambling Steve yeah Southern Steve Southern Steve would be awesome rock yeah Charlton State Steve Billy Clyde there’s a lot of Steves um South Carolina would be hard to say yeah South Carolina Steve would be weird I did get a t-shirt one time from sford that it

They made shirts that said Sam not Stan the Bulldog good what about BYU Steve no soen Steve soen Steve uh all right Steve I got one last question for you it’s a roback question rhob bac.com Jake you do you owe me some gear yeah yeah you do

You owe him some gear I’m on it uh promo code take 20% off first purchase roback.com joggers hoodies shorts everything rank your three favorite bets on Friday as people are listening to this and they are saying I need a winner and Stanford Steve is gonna give us a

Winner three favorite bets on Friday okay uh we’re gonna start with New Mexico I mentioned uh Donovan Dent barely played in that title game I think he’s a difference to have an extra ball handler against Clemson uh Jamal Mashburn Jr I’m biased Jamal Mashburn is Dad was one of my favorite people ever

To work with at ESPN will take New Mexico uh I like A&M Wade Taylor to Fourth I think is a tremendous player and I like the matchup for A&M for a full 40 minutes against Nebraska and I believe UAB is getting too many points against San Diego State uh when you look

At what UAB is uh I love Andy Kennedy uh just a phenomenal dude they got six guys that average about eight point eight points or more a game and we love how San Diego State loves to dial it back you know play defense slow pace I

Believe UAB has enough guys to keep that game close enough so we’re gonna go New Mexico A&M and UAB okay and your final four my final four where is it is you’re one bracket guy right you’re one bracket guy yeah yeah yeah okay good thank God and are you a highlighter

Guy uh when it’s going good yeah okay depends on like Saturday we’ll make that decision or we just throw it out you know um if we get to Saturday and feel good that’s always a good feeling but again be care don’t don’t go multiple brackets this year because you’re never

GNA get the combinations right with how you separate yes uh I have Yukon North Carolina Tennessee and Wisconsin okay I love this time of year so much it’s the best best two days of the year oo what you like Friday I like last Friday and Saturday yeah I mean I do

Love convers I mean if you Saturday like that’s what it’s about of all those bids getting stolen because now you the The Angst that like usually it’s like one or two bubble teams that are worried you know like going in it was Indiana State where all the big boys still had games

To play but then they lost and then all these being at at in DC for the NC State run was incredible yeah like those guys walking in for the games on Thursday seeing big man walk it I was like man he’s he’s got to get himself

Ready sure enough he plays 17 minutes in that first half against North Carolina and uh was awesome he’s so smooth so okay so who do you have in your finals uh Yukon Tennessee Yukon Tennessee Tennessee and then Yukon winning it all yeah yeah right okay congrats to Wisconsin correct I don’t like this

Final four bound final four BU TR I trust your opinion so that makes me hurt is anybody not allowed in the room during JMU Wisconsin well p is going to be at the game I’m going to be at so oh you’re going kill me I’ve had a wedding

I’ve had to go to for I I committed to it eight months ago a Friday wedding during March Madness that’s worse than football season but but it’s I’m sorry it’s in Brooklyn and it’s 10 minutes away from the arena so after the wedding I’m just going to go over probably still

Wearing my wedding tuck and just go straight to the event and just sit there it’s the big dance St I’m we be ready dressed up for a big dance this is this is very easy you just go chippendale’s costume in the game yeah go shirtless

With the bow tie no one wants to see that America yeah you do hey wait Hank what did you say well me and PFT have this uh bracket Busters team where if J advances the farthest we we get to split 40 Grand so I’m gonna be all JMU Friday night so

I’ll be I’ll be catching the raft I’ll be I’ll be going nuts at Hank it’s piece of he is a piece of so you’re in the room yeah and I will be mad at him actually Hank we were talking about have an ebo put on the wig and glasses

Hank should have to do that yeah I’m going to be mad at you I I will take out the Wrath on Hank it’s going to bother wedding Friday in March Madness crazy huh crazy tough it’s a it’s a tough one crazy did they look at the calendar

That’s that’s the major question I can say with confidence that they did not all right it I will say for the benefit this is a week later nor yeah yeah you know like this this year’s weird with you know Masters being in the middle of August or April um so

Yeah okay we’ll be in touch and uh see you guys in Phoenix yes see in Phoenix wings on Friday Friday Friday for the women’s final four who you got who do you got in that uh I got well I got uh Iowa LSU no they I know I know uh I got LSU

Stanford Yukon line help me uh South Carolina there you go yeah yeah South Carolina they’re undefeated right right there you go okay defeated yes that’s my final four I don’t know if any of them play each other early but that’s F you’re good oh okay I’m good that’s lock it up

There’s been more Buzz about the women’s game this year it’s good like like some of the teams hate each other which I I personally love yeah they have more star power Oh by that’s that’s the one thing about about women’s sports I think a lot

Of has like pushed a lot of people away in the past is it seems to be too positive and you have to hate somebody right yeah so getting some hatred some rivalries going that’s good for the sport we want to we want to be like Caitlyn Clark sucks she flops you know

Like we want to have those takes I think the only thing that would surpass the women’s final four is if Kentucky gets to the final four I feel like America would be go hard on the Reed Shepard bandwagon because the story with his parents and all that stuff Kentucky Boy

Made me cry in college when they beat Stanford in the final four yeah so I I think that that’s that’s got the that’s got the March Madness story lines written all over it yeah Texas brackets up for grabs that’s what Stanford’s to just so you know that that’s that’s

Mayhem in that breath okay all right I like that uh all right Steve thank you as always you’re the best and let’s win some bets appreciate you guys having me on stay safe drink a lot of water Dan I know you don’t have a problem with drinking all that water pmt’s one take

Days and and two weekend days got it got um got it it’s an absolute treat so I can’t there’s really no firefights that comes to mind we got a shooting machine I guess we can talk about the Rick patino drill now that the video is out uh that was a really bad

Shooting performance now we have a shooting machine bat is adamant that he’s a better shooter than me well well the stats show you exactly who’s better so that’s kind of my your fire you can’t admit it this is I I said to P last night a very small sample size I finally

Understand what PFT goes through when you guys play golf and PFT beats you every time and you’re like oh I don’t oh no no we’re actually even I beat you in the Rick patino we are this on the same team for the rick patino shooting drill

Which we got to do again but I I shot better than you and then we got this new shooting machine and yesterday we did Hank and I were like let’s shoot 10 three-pointers and uh whoever has the most you know wins and I the first round

I won six to5 out of out of 10 and Hank goes well I didn’t count I I might have hit six second round I won seven to four and he’s like all right we’ll do one more third round I won again like seven to six and then Hank shot again and hit

Four and then you left and I hit eight and you’re like no no no it’s not like you would have just made me stick there forever it’s okay dude won one of them no you didn’t you literally did not thing is it’s all recorded on tape and

Then the ones that aren’t recorded on tape uh the shooting machine has stats that you can look at which that should be my firefest memes we we got this new shooting machine it’s awesome and they set me up with a profile and then memes texted me at like midnight last night

And he’s like uh big cat you’re going to probably need a new profile I was like what and he’s like me and Max just shot like a thousand shots and Max said oh yeah I was chucking airballs so my stats are so really this entire office

Has become just a big game of uh what’s the coolest thing that we can get installed and still have people actually do work yeah we did popcorn machine we did the shooting machine we have a golf simulator we’re going to get a we’re going to get a

C we’re going to get a flight Sim yep think wants to get a barber chair in the gym I do I want to get a barber chair Hank here’s Mass you know what Hank we won’t get a barber chair if you can if you can prove that you’re a better

Three-point shooter than me but you’re not I will I will and that’s that’s again you know it’s it’s it’s my year to it’s my proven year I got to prove it I like Hank is looking at Point shooting like it’s like it’s art like it’s subjective yeah I’m just better than it

Well it depends on who you ask like sometimes size like big cat beat me my maybe every time we shoot I I shoot better than you well we’ll do an official official contest I beat you no what about chili what about you guys so max CH I beat you

Max has early onet I beat you in chili contest too Max every time we’ve done it I’ve beaten you so Max has early on said Fleming Hank has early onet Billy football yeah this entire last 45 seconds has been verbatim a billy football excuse but I’m at least a it’s

It’s it’s just the realization which is kind of like you know people have watched this grow as watched me grow on this podcast and it’s just the realization that I’m like super super super washed up not that I was ever really like yeah you’re actually when

Younger like I was never like a prime athlete in my early 20s but I was I was decent but now I’ve just you know slowly realize that I’m really washed up and the only way to unwash yourself up is to really work hard and train and that’s

What I’ve started doing and I just got to keep keep going at it but can you ever really be washed if you were never dirty to begin with yeah I just wasn’t that dirty yeah you were never filthy I I honestly don’t like no offense to you

But I don’t think it’s like a washed up thing I think just pfn are better athletes than you yeah that’s where it’s just fall well it’s not false Hank what what place did you finish in the combat we’re nine years older than you and still better athletes than you

All right good for you yeah I think both me and big cat beat you in every combine event of course we did no what I beat you I don’t know I’m tired I’m not I I definitely beat you in something yeah this is Billy Billy I’m rooting for you

It’s a big brother little brother you know what I’ll let you win the next one I will uh all right PFT uh my my fir Fest is twofold one I uh I forgot my keys at the stream uh so I don’t know how to I’m going to get home tonight I

Think somebody’s bring back right now so I think someone’s bringing back to the office it’s uh after midnight right now I have early onset Billy Max’s early onset Frank Fleming PFT has early onset dementia correct yes correct correct correct yeah Billy true Billy does act

Like he has CTE I I probably have CTE before Billy does played more organized Sports at a high level um my other fire Fest is that I’m traveling during March Madness tomorrow win your flight actually crazy effort yeah it is it is crazy so my is no way you’re packed

Either oh no definitely well the only thing I’m packing it’s a one night thing for a wedding so I’m packing a suit and that’s it so also it doesn’t matter you can’t get into your house I can’t get in my house so yeah I can’t pack anything

Yeah uh so I’m going to be flying during the early games tomorrow time which is tough I think it’s at noon oh dude I think it’s at noon tomorrow that’s brutal it’s brutal and what airline uh what why do you ask TVs uh American nope

No TVs I think Delta is the TV place I can’t keep track of which ones have TVs as long as it’s not a guaranteed also United and in American can be it’s really hard it’s really hard to watch live sports on a flight because if you look at your phone you’re like three

Minutes faster yeah you can’t look at Twitter yeah you can’t look at your score apps and every time the uh the pilot gets on the horn and being like oh sorry the flight tend hit a switch now we’re going to crash every time they interrupt you they just cut out the

Stream and it’s always always at the most important time of game that they do that so I’m going to be flying during the games tomorrow which stinks then I’m going to be at a wedding during some of the other games which uh yeah I love love I’m in favor of people getting

To go to this wedding I’m going to miss some of the games uh I’m going to sneak watch some of the games that’s my plan uh during the reception during probably the ceremony too and because I’m only flying for one night and I’m not bringing really too many clothes and I’m

This by the way well yeah you you you touching me is a problem yeah Hank’s gotten very gropey yeah well no but I’m also you know PFT pick JMU as our our bracket Busters team so I have no choice but to root for JMU against Wisconsin

Yeah Hank really didn’t want to pick JMU I know I want to pick might have to just watch you might have to watch it a different room Big C just gon to lash out on me when it’s like I’m just trying to support the company by rooting for my

My Dave and Busters team Hank I’m counting on you to be as annoying as possible I don’t want to be I just want to like people get in trouble for not for not promoting he doesn’t he doesn’t have to try he yeah he could just be

Well today it’s like we had to do a huddle up thing and I you know what are you doing huddle up you grab your teammate’s shoulders and you bring them together I did that in big give the actual cont you want a bet big bet touch

Me and then I lost a big who you think you are think you immediately immediately after you’re you’re like touching me and touching my neck it’s a technical foul it should have been a technical foul you touched above the above the shoulders that’s a technical

Foul that’s all I wanted did you pin the arm down big cat pulled me over and then I dropped everything on my and then stole my phone Grand Theft Auto is that what an auto is yeah uh I I do think that it’s the universe though smiling on

This podcast a little bit big capap because of of all the times that of all the things that could happen our teams playing each other yeah but it’s on a day when we’re not going to be in the same room where we won’t get into a

Fight with each other yes we might the losers definitely going to be mad looking at the social media post from the winner I’m going to be just mad if the Wisconsin Los I’m be mad at Wisconsin like I won’t that’s the thing is like because it’s not it’s not like

If it was Wisconsin playing Duke and I had to deal with this guy over here who doesn’t admit that he’s a terrible athlete I like I’ll be very upset if Wisconsin loses but I also will I will be I’ll be very happy for you because I

Love you as a friend whereas this guy over here I want him to fail I’m gonna be happy for you too big cat and I’m gonna I’m gonna root for you very hard against uh against Duke or Vermont I just want to say right now if if Wisconsin wins

I’m converting my JMU phandom I want you to absorb our powers use those powers to beat Duke it’s all yeah or Vermont got to be Duke actually I hope Duke loses um yeah whenever Duke loses so it’s a pretty bad firest all things considered you know could be could be worse but in

Terms of the sports calendar and travel syncing up I feel like this is this is like an equinox of for me that I have to deal with uh all right my firest is short and sweet uh I’ve actually I’ve been I’ve been D Chef Donnie’s been cooking for me been losing a little

Weight working out a little more uh but then I decided to get a haircut and shave right before all of our streams and I just looked at myself all day and I just have the fattest neck and I should just never shave before I have to

Sit on on a couch for four days straight with just the worst angles possible I saw every single clip today and I was like holy I have not lost weight what happens is uh before we get to the streams behind the scenes Pete sits down behind the cameras and then he has like

A sit in for all of us sit there and then he just lowers the cameras and gets the perfect angle to make us look as bad as possible yeah so that was a shock today so just uh reminder to not shave right before March M because there’s

Really no way to look good March Madness streams because you’re just eating and sitting and sitting back and just like gross uh but there’s definitely a way to look extra bad and I’ve done it uh all right Jake finish us off yeah this is the best time of year as you guys have

Said and these are the best three weeks on the sports calendar and I somehow just always feel sad when something goes wrong in my bracket and it’s just like why am I feeling sad I should be happy it’s March Badness so yeah well you’re uh your number two seed or you’re your

Champion champion North Carolina your Champion did not lose in the first round but I thought I was being smart by putting Drake in the Elite 8 that was a devastating loss like we talked about earlier but there should be no room for sadness here yet I’m here again yeah mhm

Damn I mean it’s kind of nice kind of sweet that you still care that much about your bracket yeah because that’s all I have my Integrity yeah and just like I don’t think your integrity’s my rep I don’t think your reputation’s tied to it either but sure in my own head

Yeah yeah your your like imagine if we to to put it in on this side of the glass like imagine if I was like my reputation is uh based on my gambling picks I would call meit but this is like the only time where I publicly make

Picks on something and hold myself to it what about what about the NFL season yeah what about oh yeah the bowling yeah that’s too yeah that’s true well there’s no you don’t have a punishment if your bracket gets busted that’s the difference during football season you

Get punished like it’s a bad Jake bad Jake if you lose your entire final four before the sweet 16 you should have to shave Max’s back I literally have zero hairs like let’s go I love it Max all right his chest his well no cuz Max gets waxed oh
