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

I'm your host for the evening.

My name is Kai, back with my buddies, Matthew, and James.

Jim, how you doing out there in Las Vegas, Nevada?

I am okay.

I'm going to extend an early apology to the listeners.

If there is sound in the background that sounds like hammering,

that would be the house that is being built next door that starts at 6 a.m.

And has really been chapping my bum lately. Not a big fan.

Yeah, you got to beat that heat in Nevada. That's what I hear, Jim. I understand why the

workers want to get out there early, get that work done. Yep. Take it to the bar later at 3 p.m.

You know, kickback a little bit. Yeah, I don't know how they do it out there. I mean, they're in layers because it's like windy and dusty, but it's also 100 degrees out, so I don't envy that. Matthew, how are you doing? Yeah, speaking of unenviable jobs, we had our windows clean today in our humble brag, high-rise, floor-to-ceiling windowed apartment.

FTC. unenviable jobs. We had our windows clean today in our humble brag, high-rise,

floor-to-ceiling windowed apartment. Those guys are daredevils. I just like, he came to our,

it came to my window in the room. And of course, it terrified me. I was in the bathroom. I came out

and there's a guy swinging outside of my window, like slamming theaving the brush up against the glass there. So just a quick salute hat tip to those dudes out there.

I would never do that. Yes, real met of genius. Exactly. Those are fantastic. We should bring those back.

Good show for you guys today. Roots Roundup, as usual. And then we have a bold predictions section. We're going to put some hot takes out there. Admittedly, some of mine are lukewarm takes, but they still count for this episode. I'm going to go back and forth some banter, get some takes and what we think of each other's takes. Jay Pity, he does our music. Good guy. Great guy. All around good guy. Stand up guy.

Stand up guy.

Kai, you made this sound like it's going to be a friendly episode.

It's not. It's going to be mean. We're going to argue over these takes. I'll be yell at that. I know. I'd like some viciousness coming through the airwaves here. Very visceral attitudes all around. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram at 3MW underscore CBB.

We're going to be rolling out
