Welcome back to another episode of the three-man weave college basketball podcast.

We've got a two-man episode for you tonight.

It's just me.

I'm Kai.

And joining me is Matt. Matt.

So when you said up like a drum roll suspense cliffhanger into who's going to be the second

member, but you just kind of reveal that very quickly. Yep. Jim is out in Las Vegas after a rough

Sunday for him. His Packers took it on the chin. Yes, they did. Jim traveled out to San Jose? It was live. Is that where they played? Santa Clara, I think. Santa Clara? Yep. Yeah, see the 49ers Packers game. The Packers did not win. Because Jim's not here, we can make fun of them. Jim might have had a little too much to drink, and he has a headache.

He doesn't want a podcast with us.

No, I cannot sympathize.

Usually Sundays are a tough podcast day.

So even myself personally, Jim gets my full and complete sympathy, empathy, whatever the right.

Yes, shouts to Jim. And if our voices sound more or less pop-y, it's because we have brand-new pop-philters on our microphones. They look pretty cool. I like talking into them. It's nice like force-field. It's an invisible shield, so we don't get too close to the mic, but we're not at risk of spitting into it. I think it will catch most of the saliva. But we'll find out, you know, maybe if the,

the sound goes off the rails, then we'll have to adjust, but this is a good first test here.

I feel like a professional radio guy, which is what I've always wanted to be. Besides,

besides an accountant, I'm an accountant first. It was astronaut, then cop, and I think you switched to accountant, and then now you've changed that to. That's right. Anyways, we got a good show for you today, despite Jim's absence. Matt and I are going to run through the normal rigmarole. Nice. We got Roots Roundup, but brought to you by Matt and Kai. We have some three-man thoughts, and really it's going to be two-man thoughts. Again, the theme of Jim not being here, we cannot stress this enough. That is the theme. Game previews, we'll finish it off. We have five to go through, get you some picks for the week. Before we do that, Jay Pity, he does our music. He's a good guy. Had a great show on Friday. Oh, did he have a show? Yep, a few of our comrades saw him live. His popularity here in the Shy Town, Cook County proper, is skyrocketing. So for those that play local, it is. So do try and find out where he is playing. Also check him out on SoundCloud. I believe he has his own page and whatnot. Yeah, I think he does. Joe Pascove is his real name. His stage name is no longer Jay Pitty. We're going to call him that, though, despite that. At 3MW underscore CBB is our Twitter account and our Instagram. You can follow us on the Twitters for plays, college basketball banter, all that good stuff.

He says, Great Pod slash hilarious t-shirt bits.

These guys know their stuff and speak with knowledge on every conference, must listen for any

college hoops junkie, hilarious bit about how they're going to get t-shirts for their podcast. It's been going on for a couple months now, and it has me laughing each time. Keep up the outstanding work. And DePaul Gigi, I hear you. The joke's over. The joke's over. No. Well, yes. We got them, kind of. We have seen the shirts. They are online currently.
