Hey, media group. There was one throw up incident, which I don't know why. Oh my gosh, yes. Every time we're like in a hotel, he throws up. What is going on? Hey, guys, episode 228. We are back from, we're still on spring break, but we're back from our trip. Yeah, happy March madness, everybody. It's actually kicking off today. We're filming this Thursday, so the beginning of March madness just kicked off. And it's getting mad already. Duke is losing right now. So by the time we finish his podcast, to see Anna. So we'll see what happens. I'm think they'll come back, but it'd be a May, I have Duke winning. I always put Duke to win. I don't, I don't actually do the brackets. I just make up the brackets in my head. And whenever you do them seriously, like the real brackets, I'm always like Duke is always my pick to win. So if they're the first ones out, I don't even know what Sienna is. If they will, first of all, I'm jumping to conclusions because we're doing this as the

1:07.5

game's going on right now, but it's 61 56 right now, which seven minutes left.

1:14.5

But if Duke goes down everybody, I mean, I think everybody is messed up.

1:19.6

It's brackets busted.

1:20.6

But that's what's so great about doing the brackets is because you just never know. And normally it's the people who don't watch basketball that do good. Yeah, so I don't that'd be crazy because I'm not a Duke fan. That's how we became a UCLA fan in the first place before I even moved to California. All my friends in Chicago were Duke fans or a lot of them were. And the only team that could beat Duke at that time was UCLA. So I picked UCLA just to go against my friends and a plus I liked their colors better. I do like to Duke Blue, but now we just went to Duke and that guy was so nice to me. So now you're a Duke fan. And we told that whole story, right? Yeah, so that guy was so nice to me that I'm like, oh, and Justin loves Duke so much. So I was just there. So I'm like, they're in, they're really the favorite to win the whole thing. I mean, they should win. So if they are knocked out in

2:08.8

the first round, we'll nobody in the podcast. That'll be crazy. Yeah. That'll be nuts. I'll kind of be sad. I was talking to my mom today and she was on a walk. I go, Oh, Duke's playing because a friend of mine text me and said,

2:22.2

we're going to a bar to watch Duke.

2:24.4

Do you want to come?

2:25.6

And I was like, we're recording the podcast.

2:27.3

And my mom was like, wait, Duke's. because a friend of mine texted me and said, we're going to a bar to watch Duke. Do you wanna come?

2:25.8

And I was like, we're recording the podcast.

2:27.5

And my mom was like, wait, Duke's playing? I gotta get home. And so she turned around on her walk to get home so she could watch it. The bars are packed. Right on the packed. Because we used to go, again, back in Chicago when I was in my 20s.

2:42.2

My brother, all of his friends, my friends.

2:44.6

I went one year.

2:45.6

We'd take, yeah, it's called Barry Spring Break.

2:47.8

Why don't think it was Barry Spring Break, but I met. Chicago when I was in my 20s. My brother, all of his friends, my friends. I went one year.

2:45.6

We'd take, yeah, it's called Barry Spring Break. Why don't think it was Barry Spring Break, but I met you guys. We were dating. We didn't even have kids, I don't think. We coined it, Barry Spring Break, because Barry was the, he take off work Thursday and Friday every single year, and that's all he looked forward to was March Madness. So you get to the bar like nine o'clock, have breakfast, first game

3:07.2

started like 10, started having beers in their packed. a year and it's all you look forward to was March Madness. So you get to the bar like nine o'clock,

3:05.3

have breakfast, first game start like 10, start having beers and they're packed. You know, so then we all started over the years. We'd all start doing that like take off work Thursday and Friday and go watch the first two games and it was fun. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. So I mean, I'm getting older. I can't and through that. Plus, we just got off of our spring break.

3:22.5

We did. We had the best time. We had such a good trip. And it was with our kids a lot of times, when you go on spring break with your kids, I think you leave feeling exhausted and you need a vacation from a vacation. I was a little tired when we got home just from the long days. We did have very long days. Yeah. But just seeing our kids how happy they were and how much fun they had, it just makes it all worth it. All like the tiredness and the stress. We left on Friday. Didn't we leave on a Friday night? We left Friday night, which I love that we left late because when we got to LA, it was 10 o'clock. And then the pool at our hotel was open till 12. So then the kids were so just jacked just because they were so excited the next day we were going to Universal. So we let them swim and they played. We kind of relaxed for a little bit. And then we went upstairs. Everybody went to bed because they retired from being at school all day as well. And then the next day, we woke up, everybody was refreshed, ready to go. And I mean, we were at Universal from open to close. But we didn't do Universal tell Sunday. So we had all the Saturdays. So- Oh, that is right, I'm sorry. By the way, if you are ever going to Universal Studios in Los Angeles, I think there's one in Florida too.

4:47.9

Fly in the Burbank Airbus. That's like key. And if you're ever going to LA, you can do something which is called the Valley or Studio City. Fly into Burbank. It's so easy. It's such a smaller airport. LAX is crazy. I did it a little better now, but just a tip out there. If you can find a

5:05.4

Burbank or you all are going to those theme parks, definitely fly into Burbank. Yes. Burbank is the way to go. And we stayed at the hotel. The Hilton. That universal. Yes. We stayed at Hilton Universal. That is where we stayed for Big Brother. And if you're ever going to Universal Studios or you are in the valley, I would suggest staying at the Hilton. The Sheridan is right beside it. I prefer the Hilton. I think it's like bigger. It's a six minute walk to Universal Studios. There is a shuttle every 20 minutes, but it's faster to just walk. We learned that. Yeah, we learned it. So we're giving you some tips in case you do go out there.
