All right, welcome to Extra Points, part of the Extra Points Podcast Network.

Cousin Sal coming to you with his good, good pal.

Dave Damashak, happy St. Patrick's Day. Happy. What is this? Would this be March Madness Eve? Nah, I don't count the plans. Yeah, all right, we'll play the count the plans. We're coming to you Wednesday night. We're doing this. St. Patrick's Day, Dave. I know you want to talk food. Did you celebrate in style? Sadly, I did not. I do want to mark the occasion, not St. Patrick's Day, but the

arrival of March Madness after a year away. It's one shining moment. We reach for the stars. It's one shining moment we reach for the stars it's one shining moment

he's really doing it god bless the u.s.

Wait a minute I didn't why don't everybody why don't all sports have a song they should all

like what there should we need before this month is out in honor ofness, we should write a Super Bowl song and a World Series song and all championship or all playoff event songs. Let's do it.

But I'll tell you, I'm going to name.

And again, she was going out. So it was nice of her to put this together. Well, I know we have a lot to talk about, but very quickly. Yeah. Holiday food.

What holiday has the best food?

Well, I was just going to say, this is a holiday food.

This is the holiday food that I wish I revisited more than once.

Now, you could say, oh, corned beef, anytime you get deli, you'll get a corned beef sandwich.

No, I go to pastrami, except on St. Patrick's Day when I got the nice golden mustard,

the dark mustard on the corn beef itself, mixing it with the potatoes and the butter and everything.

I'm like, oh, this is delightful. I could do this six times a year. For God's sakes, the kids are eating chicken fingers every 36 hours. Why can't we mix this in every now? For sure. Well, I mean, you know,
