This is an IHeart podcast.

I can feel the vibe around the show.

I can feel it around the studio.

I can feel it in the live chat.

I can feel them on the streets. I could feel it in the shoe last night. I could feel it at the gas stations driving home, pound for pound, which is largely an irrelevant phrase. This may be the most highly anticipated show we've done all year. I'm just going to throw it out there. We're jam-packed. We're high atop a recovering downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Because, yes,

this great city of ours watched the same playoff that you did yesterday. A lot of people are

calling it broken. A lot of people are calling it flawed. Pretty much everyone had some kind of

gripe or opinion. I'm just going to ask you. First off, the same question everyone's been asking

me. Are there fixes that are needed? Do

changes need to happen? Is the playoff broken? Well, here's what I need to know from all of you

before I give you an answer. Where are you coming from? Where are you coming from? What's the point

of a playoff? Just think about that. I'm going to go over every game tonight. I was at Ohio State last night. Large parts of this hand still haven't thawed out. There are a couple of toes on this foot hoot that haven't thawed out. But mostly we're back in business now. It was cold, man. It was so cold. Much colder if you were Tennessee. Frozen orange juice. They got splattered all over the place. So I will talk about that. Apologies, Colin. I will talk about that. I will talk about all the first round games.

I will give you, not to lead the show, but eventually in the show, several thoughts. I listened to

so many people talk yesterday. I just heard so many complaints. Some of you need to just get off

the internet during football games.

If you want to achieve happiness, happiness on game day begins where the internet ends.

That's what Memo used to always tell me.

And boy, it was sage wisdom, especially since she said it before the internet was never around.

But yes, we got all that.

We got transfer portal going crazy.

I've got some early thoughts on the quarterfinal games. Not a full breakdown tonight, but I do have some thoughts.

Hoop in, man. I am going to make everyone happy and angry at me at least once in this show tonight.
