Oh, that's right, boys and girls.

It is the three-man weave college basketball podcast.

This is your hostess with the most Matthew Cox.

Running Point tonight, flanked, as always, by my two cohorts colleagues comrades pals

kai mackayant jim rude how are thou how art to that excuse me i'm coming from the las vegas

strip matthew i am at the park mj mjohn tonight right to my back is T-Mobile Arena.

And I'm just, I'm here warming up for the weekend when I'll be covering the CBS Sports Classic. So I'm just, uh, I'm getting set. Fix your camera because before I could see the T-Mobile arena in the background, now I can just see your ugly blinds at the Park MGM Hotel. So it's not as, you know, for me,

from, so I can see you and then Kai, who's wearing this stupid pink bandana that he always wears. It's been kind of a routine from you. I'm not a fan of this wardrobe decision. We've talked about this off air. Like, you have to wear dress for your performance level. And right now, It's just not up to par.

Matthew, as we talked pre-podcasts, I played basketball tonight, and I'm going through a bit of a quarter-life crisis. I'm going to live time to 120. That's why it's a quarter-life. But it turns out I'm just not very good anymore at basketball. And, you know, it's depressing. So I come home, I shower. I don't put my hair into anything.

I just throw my wife's headband in there, put my robe on, and just do the podcast. And that's where I'm out these days. Well, we thank, Leanna, for the headband. Can I ask what's wrong with your game? You know, we have a month from the tip of our intramural season after our champion. we have to defend our title belt after last season. So what's the culprit of the game right now?

You know, I've lost a lot of flexibility

and athleticism speed ability to play defense and i think it's just kind of old age you know i'm

almost 30 i'm kind of over the hill um you know lebron's doing fine he's he's quite a bit older than us

but um i you know i guess it's just that time for me. So I'll just, I'll go to being a spot-up three-point shooter and just kind of fade into the sunset. All right, good. Well, more shots for me then. I plan on taking on a higher usage role. And that's all we have for the intro tonight. A quick preview, you'll find it's awfully standard per the usual outline. We have Roots Roundup. Jim will walk us through that or run us through that, depending on how quickly he wants to go through that. I can see him right now placing bets online, multitasking during the podcast. I'm itching to go, Matthew. I'm itching. I know. I know. We all are. And we have three-man thoughts. deep ponders into the minds of us

weavers. And then some preview breakdowns. The slates are getting awfully beefy this week. Thank God. There's been a lot of weeks of just lame slates as we approach the massive terrifying conference Saturday behemoth slates, which is oh so close.

Self-promotion, self-list promotion.

First of all, Joe Pascoff.

Great to see that young man this weekend at one of the more curiously themed parties.

For context out there, we attended an Alien Safari themed party.

I had a fantastic time, Kai.

I'm curious what the listener is thinking right now is he hears.

Oh, you had a cool time at your party?
