This is a special edition of the Bill Bennett show. I'm called Jennings, and if you've

listened to Bill throughout the years, you know that this is one of his favorite times

of the year because of March Madness, the NCAA Tournament, and you know, a lot of serious

things going on in the world. But we wanted to kind of take some time to kind of relax

a little bit, laugh a little bit, focus on some things not so serious, just kind of breathe

a little bit. And what better thing to use as an escape than sports? And so the NCAA tournament

kicks off on Thursday, this being Wednesday night, when this is released. We thought that we would

go through our brackets making our picks as far as the NCAA tournament. And so I kind of went

through our brackets, some upsets I had in the first round, elite eight, sweet 16 stuff like that.

Bill just went through the odds of overall winners, like you know, teams that he thinks has a

good chance at winning the tournament. So enjoy and I hope that this brings you a little bit of

laughter and ease in a world where man things are really, really serious. But again, we've got some

great interviews coming up. Dan Katz from Amber Wave Partners, a new voice to the podcast. He'll

be the next episode coming up. And I think you'll enjoy what he has to say. But right now, Bill and I,

and possibly a special guest after we share our picks coming up on today's show. Enjoy.

Right on the eve of it. And I don't want to be accused of saying I picked so and so when

they've already won. Man, he's kind of on this thing now because he's done brackets for the last

two years because he watches. And so now he has two brackets. He wants to do one that he feels on

all the way before the tournament starts. And then he wants to go around by round where he can

re pick which impressive. He's nine. So you've got the Zags. Yeah. I've got guns out all the way.

I've got some upsets early. Okay. Let me tell you who I have. Okay. And you know, I'm not a

betting man, but if I were a betting man, Kansas. Uh-huh. They're strong. Yeah. They're all so
