| 0:00.0 | Hey there. I am Gary Parrish. Welcome back to CBS Sports. I own college basketball podcast where we sometimes discuss camel fighting dodo birds and leaky black. Kyle Boone is here with me. Strong Jaw. If you're watching on YouTube, be Brandon Davies smash a little bit. And if you haven't already subscribed to the CBS Sports Island College Basketball podcast, please do that anywhere.

| 1:18.2 | transparency, my wife did hit a deer roughly two weeks ago. Her car is in a collision center right now. |
| 1:24.9 | Holy cow. She murdered a deer unintentionally. It was the deer's fault, if you want to know the truth. Like, you know, she was in a car on a road. Then the deer ran onto the road. The deer's not supposed to be on the road. The car is, you know how that works. So, no, had nothing to do with the deer.
