Welcome back into the CC podcast, everybody. It is the evening of Monday, March 2nd.

This is March. I was hoping to have a much stronger start to the podcast here. Maybe the CBS March

Madness theme, maybe, you know, unbridled enthusiasm as we get ready for what's supposed to be the greatest

time of the year around here. Unfortunately, the vibes are pretty low for Louisville men's

basketball. We're not going to have a ton of great things to talk about here. If you're looking

for like unbridled optimism and a lot of hope for the future. Maybe not the podcast episode for you,

but we'll do the best we can. Mike Snar, Mike Rutherford here in Louisville, Kentucky. We're off to a

rough start already. It's been a long day. Dan Starr's in Columbus, Ohio. Dan, how are we doing?

This is the worst.

Yeah, no, it's, yeah, I don't know.

Maybe they have this, and I just don't remember hearing it, but like, you know, like how Fox has, fox has like the injury music it's like

do they have like the march madness like sad like do no no no someone recorded i think it was my

god ben swain he made a like a fake one on the piano and i i think i tweeted every year when we get beaten in the NCAA tournament.

He sits down on the piano.

He like shrugs his shoulders and it's like,

do do do do do do.

It's very good.

But I think about it every single year.

I think that's kind of where we are all collectively as a fan base right now.

Yeah. I mean, I think every March I, like, immediately send you like Jesse McCartney.

Like, here we go. Like, it's March. This is our time. But like, like, I mean, the vibes are low and

they got lower tonight. I'm sure we'll talk about it. But yeah, I mean, I don't know.
