Welcome to the March Madness Marathon. Folks, that's right. I believe this is our sixth annual.

Probably should have checked on that. Our annual march madness marathon where we the three

man weave goes through every single first round game breaking down the matchup looking at some of the

the biggest uh strengths and weaknesses on each side talking spreads talking totals a little bit oh it's

going to be fun we're skipping intro we're really barely getting into anything here. It's just all matchups. I'm Jim Rood. I'm your host today. I'm with Kai McEwen. I'm with Matt Cox. Still virtually, but in about nine hours, I'll be with them in person as they make their way out to Vegas. Oh, yeah. Matthew, are you ready for this? Are you ready for

the sprint that is the next couple of days? No, I'm really not, Jim. I feel incredibly unprepared

despite feeling overly prepared, like excessively prepared. It's like how when you prepare something

for like a speech, you over rehearse it, you over analyze it. And then when it gets to the live delivery, it just comes out mumbo-jumbo. And then you're just left wondering why I didn't mention the other five better, more salient points I had on my not pad. That's where I'm at personally. Well, Matt, practice makes perfect. And it is a sprint these next couple days. I'm excited to fly out to Vegas tonight with you. We're going to be sitting probably

pretty close to each other, but you got a worse boarding position than me, buddy. So good luck in

the back with all the aisle dogs. Ile dogs assemble, baby. Jim, I'm sprinting towards Thursday because

I cannot wait until these games actually get rolling. I can't wait to be just in the sun with my

buddies drinking beers and watching games. Heck yeah. It sounds glorious. It's the light to be just in the sun with my buddies, drinking beers and watching

games. Heck yeah. It sounds glorious. It's the light at the end of the tunnel of all this work. And look, it's great work. We love it. We're happy to be doing it. But it's, there's a lot of it. There's a lot of it. Kai, I had an old coach that used to say, don't say practice makes perfect. It's perfect practice makes perfect.

My dad said that too.

Sure.

Okay.

Yeah, he bet that to must be a coaching cliche that we all

missed. Absolutely. 100% is. But yeah, welcome into the episode. Shout out to Jay Pity for our opening

tunes. Follow us on Twitter at 3MW underscore CBB. We have the same handle on Instagram.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, Kai, I guarantee you.
