There's another one coming. Don't even know yet. I'll figure that one out when we're done with this one. But it's going to be different. We're giving you as much content as possible. Yeah, I think we've got to the point in the season where we're going to figure out the next thing when it's time to do the next thing. Right now, we're just trying to get through this thing. So this is we are. So let's take it one at a time. Bracket breakdown late Sunday sunday done bracket preview right now in progress whatever |

| 1:49.4 | when I say few, I say four to agree with me, two agree with you. So there we go. I I didn't look at |
| 1:55.4 | the chat with any sort of detail, but I glanced at it at some point, and I saw, uh, I saw both of these |
| 2:01.2 | things. I said, uh, man, Parrish is an idiot. And then I saw, man, Norlander is an idiot. And so they were, you know, and then I saw like, I agree. I think, then I saw Parrish is right. And then I saw Norlander is right. So like, you know, a good, good conversation, I guess. On that note, by the way, we can get rolling here. |

| 2:30.4 | And so they had me do all this stuff for social, pick your bracket, give me your Cinderella, all this. And as always, just don't read the comments because my wife, my wife gets a kick out of it. Like my brother has shared a few things I think on Instagram and all this. And she goes, how much are they calling you and did you? I was like, I don't even look. I already know it's there. But I was like, you know what know what just for you i'll bring it up and instantly i bring up i think it was oh it was my team ranking so that i ranked the one to 68 field they put in graphic form it looks beautiful looks wonderful and like the first three are all gifts and memes of this guy's an idiot here's a guy who doesn't know ball. Like it's just one after another after another. |
