Give you our Whiskey Thief Call of the Day. day and Billy it is the two greatest days of the sports year bar none

You can give you know you I guess I said before you can have the Super Bowl you can have the

world series you can have the NBA finals there is nothing quite like today and

tomorrow the first round of the NCAA tournament it's great to be with you this morning Shannon, you're exactly right, especially in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

There is nothing better than this opening weekend, especially these first two days where everybody's still in school and at work and

and tuned into the games on their laptops I greeted you this morning with a

Merry Christmas because that's what it feels like right now it feels like I'm

giddy like a kid on Christmas and you know obviously we're all rooting for the cats to make a deep run this year, but it's it's about the emotion the passion

I've already watched two editions of one shining moment already this

Oh really you're getting pumped up I'm ready to go man this is the most wonderful time

of the year and so I'm happy to be with you this morning some people have said hey

don't you and Ryan want to be in Pittsburgh for the game and I'm like you know what for the first round?

No, no I don't I would rather be like just at a sports bar posted up watching all the games and you know you compare all the other

sporting events you know like I love the Super Bowl but that's just like four hours of

entertainment I love the world series but that's strung out like over a week

week and a half.

We're talking about from basically noon until midnight,

non-stop basketball games, wall to wall.
