Welcome back to the Compound Podcast. This is episode 55, uh, next week is the big one

year anniversary where we will have Nico joining the pod.

I just got so nervous because I didn't know what the date was and I was like, oh no,

it's at the 28th like Ian's going to kill me. He put me in charge of this.

It is, it is next week. It is next week. Um, kind of a big deal. The one year, the one

year thing. It's going to be a great episode. Nico, he's excited to be back on. We did

say the area that would be our next guest. He won't, he's going to be our next guest

after the anniversary, but his family's still in town honoring that. He's excited to come

on. He'll be on. We are 10 days from opening day, 10 days from the start of the season.

Zach, have you been, have you been wearing your duke sweatshirt around during the, um, no,

March madness, just to feel like Duke is close? I left it at home on purpose.

Interesting. Dakota, can, do you tell the people about the bracket that you

filled out for me? If you think like I feel bad, like, I don't know what you want me to tell

you. If anyone tells you they had oral Roberts going to the sweet 16, put them in a mental

institution because they're lying. They either went to oral Roberts or they're lying.

Like, at no point in my life, what if I picked them to pick Ohio's Beto, Ohio State? Never.

You could have said, you could have told me before the tournament, I guarantee you oral

Roberts wins. And I say, no, I will take Ohio State. I fill out a bracket for our team pool.

And I, and Dakota sent me, but I didn't even have to ask Dakota said, if you want me to fill out

a bracket here, this is it. I'll, I'll do it. So I said Dakota, let me know. I don't know

anything about a college basketball Dakota felt it out. It is hard. Honestly, the left side's

doing really good. The right side's really bad because Illinois lost in San Diego State.
