Welcome back Weave Fanatics for another college basketball podcast coming to you from the boys.

It's me, your host, Jim Root, looking through the magical Zoom machine at a bearded, pink headbanded

Kai McEwen.

Kai, how are you?

Jim, I'm doing great. I love the Zoom machine. It is very convenient and very awesome.

Yeah, we upgraded to Pro because we're pros. That's important to note.

I'm also looking at Matt in his three-man weave hat. Matt, I don't really care how you are. So I guess just give me some thoughts. I was more curious. Well, thanks, Jim. Appreciate that. I was curious, Kai, if you have Zoom exhaustion from, since you actually have a job and probably use it on a regular basis. Is it like, I think it would be,

Zoom would be kind of like in my nightmares by now if I are still in the corporate world. Oh, we use teams at EY. Yeah, you know, mostly we do use teams. There's some Zoom in there, thrown in there, Matt. And, you know, I guess I could say that I am a little bit burnt out, but this is college basketball, baby. there is no burning out from college basketball.

Yeah, it's like we're all in the same room.

Let's just pretend as though... I am a little bit burnt out, but this is college basketball, baby. There is no burning out from college basketball.

Yeah, it's like we're all in the same room.

Let's let's just pretend as though I could reach out and knock Matt's hat off of his head, like the prankster that I am. Yeah, please don't. We have a wonderful show. We are going to get through some roundup stuff. we did not have a Roots Roundup last episode because we were too busy glued to the clipboard being educated by three of the best coaches in college hoops three of our favorites thank you to todd golden Craig smith and bob richie for coming on a lot of one syllable first

names there very very generic stuff there but we them. It was great to have them on.

So we'll get back through some news, catch up on that. And then we have what we're calling a roundtable.

It is, in a sense, an internal mailbag. We came up with some questions. We wanted to ask each other about some college hoops. There's a little bit of wandering off the college basketball terrain

important to note that we do not know each other's questions there's no pre-prep done for those

like our mailbags we all know what the questions are from you guys we all see them we prep answers

you're going to get us on the spot three three men weave improv. Off the dome.

That's right.

Coming to you during the later section of the pot.

But we'll get there.

Before we do, shout out to Jay Pity for that lovely intro, the beats in our, in our headphones.
