Hey, hey, where you been? But got to talk is about to begin. Hey, hey, hey, come on in.

Welcome back to the Tuesday book. I talk to everybody, Doug Lee Maries, Nathan Baird from Cleveland.com,

letting Stephen means recover from the big Sunday night announcement of a high estate basketball number two seed in the NCAA tournament.

We'll get into basketball more later this week. We actually have some good stuff planned for the big Wednesday pod. We'll make our final four picks. We'll go through our bracket. Nathan, Stephen and I will go through our whole bracket because even if you're not a basketball fan or a huge basketball fan, who doesn't love a bracket, Nathan?

I mean, like that, I separate that. There is how your level of interest in college basketball, but that's separate from a lot of people's interest in the bracket. So we can go through.

I think, you know, this 11 C is going to make the sweet 16 and to some degree, Nathan, people get swept up on that stuff.

Absolutely. I mean, the people who are like us or like big sports fans who think they're going to run their office pool and just crush everybody with their intimate knowledge of college basketball.

And then they end up losing out to the person that just picked based on how much they like the mascots of every school or the colors or whatever.

And they just get emotionally devastated every spring. I feel like that's just part of like an annual piece of American culture.

So we like culture, but I talk. So we'll do that.

But on this one, we're going to do in football. We're doing should Ohio State consider a two quarterback system this fall that Nathan has written a really interesting piece at Cleveland.com go read that Cleveland.com slash OSU.

And then we'll get into a little bit of what I tease on the weekend podcast about the Woody Hayes, Bob Knight thing that I thought was more interesting in the moment, the further I get away from it, I'm not as interested.

So we'll do that a little bit in a second half, but also on the big Wednesday podcast for our tech subscribers. And this is a reason to get in.

Now on the tech subscription, we're starting another bracket following in the footsteps of our chain restaurant bracket, we're starting gas station snacks.

I don't know if it'll be 32 or 64.

I'm also open to like 48 with sort of level of play in games and some first round buys.

Depending on the suggestions that we get, they are pouring in from our tech subscribers. So I will create the regions, I will make the matchups and we will do a bracket reveal of gas station snacks on the big Wednesday pod.

So it will be bracket focused. We also have spring football coming around the corner. So we have more Jack Miller, CJ Stroud, CJ McCord quarterback stuff coming later in the week. And we have, we're going to talk to Ryan Day was supposed to talk to Ryan Day on Wednesday.

We'll have pod stuff on that spring football starts Friday. We're supposed to have interviews after their first practice on Friday. We'll have pod stuff on that. So Nathan, we're going back and forth a little bit basketball football gas station snacks, which I think is the right mix that we're looking for on bucket.

I think this is the essence of book. I talk really like this week. It's it's it's basketball because it's at this juncture, right? It's because we have football starting.

Yeah, well, but not just because we have to because they're very good and they're they've they especially the way they played last last week getting to the big game.

And then spring football starting and then all the drama that is kind of still hanging out there for that. And then obviously, like, you know, combos versus
