All new stories, hilarious guests,

laughed very, very hard, multiple times, talking about all of Bert's hijinks. We have our final four set, the blue blood invitational is set. We're gonna talk about the weekend, the Elite Eight, Friday nights games, where we're at as a podcast. It's going to be a blood war in New Orleans. And after Bert we're gonna talk Billy's got his spreadsheet we're gonna do some Marsh Madness he's gonna tell us some of his one shining moments and Hank has a full-send parlay that he's contemplating that we will discuss as well before we do all of that let's talk about Mountain Dew this March Mountain Dew signed a new roster athletes, ballers with personalities as bold as their flavors and the ability to ignite a stadium full of fans in an instant the unsung heroes of Mountain Dew Spark Squad were given a special mission this March if they score in a game where their team wins Mountain Dew would dump a truckload of free Mountain Dew on campus for hoops fans to enjoy. The Mountain Dew Spark Squad featured fan favorite players, Carter Booth of Iowa State, Avery Hughes of Arkansas, Andrea Catrimatos. And you're a Catrimatos. Thank you of Baylor. Unfortunately, despite some heroic efforts, our Spark Squad team members have been eliminated from the competition this March, even though our players didn't score during a team win Mountain Dew still wants to honor these awesome athletes. So Baylor, Iowa State, Arkansas, be on the lookout for Mountain Dew on your campus in the coming weeks. That's again Baylor, Iowa State and Arkansas, be on the lookout for Mountain Dew on your campus in the coming weeks. You had some unfortunate ends to the tournament, but you got the Mountain Dew Spark Squad showing up and dropping off a ton of Mountain Dew. Thank you to Mountain Dew. We love Mountain Dew on this podcast, and they will be hooking up our friends at Baylor, Iowa State, and Arkansas in the coming weeks. So thanks again to Mountain Dew and Mountain Dew Spark Squad. Okay, let's go It's part of my take. There's enough of our sports. And my take today is Monday, March 28th and the blue blood invitational is set. The final four is ready to go. The Holy War, Duke vs. UNC, Kansas and Villanova were there. It's going to be an all time weekend in New Orleans. This might be the best final four,

start to fit in terms of brands, in terms of not to go all R-Word. R-Word, yeah. But if you look at, you mentioned blue bloods. These are four, I would even say Villanova might be a blue blood. I saw somebody asked you if they were a blue blood. New blood is how you could refer to them, But they do also, they the 85 you know so that they're I always say counter to that is like Duke

Wasn't anyone until coach K showed up. Yeah, so I mean you got to build your history at some point

I would take away

I would take away one drop of blue blood from Kentucky like Elizabeth Holmes and I'm giving it to Villanova biggest losers are definitely

Kentucky

Indiana UCLA the blue bloods that didn't get invited to the blue blood party and a special terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible not watch these games. I feel terrible for you. I don't know. I mean, NC state, I think NC state C state fans know who they are in basketball. It's like, this is, we had Jimmy V.

But this is a disaster.

I mean, this is the, you're surrounded. They're big brothers are about to clash on the main stage. They're gonna have a fucking five day suck of Coach K's penis. And then we're gonna have Carolina versus Duke. I NC safe fans my heart goes out to you.

It would almost be worse if it was a year where it was like where wake forest was really good.

Then you're just surrounded by people kicking your ass nonstop at least they had that college baseball run last year Yeah, and they're probably gonna have a player get wrapped in top so mean that's so mean Oh, I just realized what hang did that yeah the COVID fucked them. They were the best team in the country. That's that's so me. That's fuck tank. That's hey

That's a duke for you. No, no, no, they found their nose at everyone else. Look state school. Yeah, exactly It's like okay safety school. Mm-hmm. Hank could have gotten there with his eyes closed Yeah, Hank got a full academic scholarship to NC state turned it down. I do think though that if you and see and it's interesting like everyone's gonna say oh these two teams have never played before in the

incident what tournament have you heard that one yet wait what no that's first

reported by us on part So that if you and see and it's interesting like everyone's going to say, oh, these two teams have never played before in the incident.

What tournament have you heard of that one yet? Wait, what? No, that's first reported by us on part of my take. First time you must credit if you see anybody saying that this is the first time they're playing in history of the tournament that stat actually came from us initially. I think that we're in a position where if you and see wins, that would be an all time I'm vindication for Roy Williams being a better head coach than Coach K.

Not only all the stats that we've laid out before you, showing what Roy Williams has done since he got to Carolina at that same time period against Coach K's teams, but if Roy Williams picked the perfect time to walk away and his hand chosen successor, be Coach K who stuck around for a year suck fest, only to have the most talented team in college basketball that ended up losing to Roy Williams' hand pick successor after he walked away with no retirement suck fest. I think that's another feather in the cap for Roy. He also though has, it could go the other way for him, UNC could lose and Kansas could win it all and then Bill Self, he already has a better resume at Kansas than Roy Williams did But it would be like a total dunk on of his resume at Kansas first Roy Williams I'll be following that best. Yeah, he's a better Kansas coach than Roy Williams. He will be better in the state of North Carolina than coach K. So I you know this is going to be on a personal level This is I would imagine my the biggest game of my life for neither of my teams have anything to do with it I was trying to think about it like obviously a a big packers playoff game or LeBron and the finals But this is it's everything you love about sports because I like if you and see wins It will be one of the best nights ever again without my team involved if Duke wins It couldn't be more of a storybook like ride for coach K He's already I've already admitted some defeat because getting to the final four is like his farewell tour His worked and I also just want to say Hank I feel for coach K at this point in the farewell tour He had a quote on Wednesday where he said it wears on you a little bit because everywhere you walk, everyone is taking a picture of you and they're watching everything. And I just like this poor guy, everyone's trying to take a picture of him on this tour that he announced 10 months ago. I never saw this come. That was never the idea that I never ever ever. It was all about the players all the time. So coach K living in a fish bowl here again after announcing his retirement toward 10 months ago

And then making everyone suck them off for 10 months straight. I feel bad for him. His penis is probably tired Hank

He's been sucked dry. Yeah, and he's still got five more days to go. So much you can produce

so
