Good morning, Coco. March is going to be a spectacular month for basketball. We have Tatum's return tonight, I believe, in my favorite sporting event of the year is at the end of March, March madness.

Nothing comes close to those first four days of the bracket where from 10 o'clock to 10 o'clock, there was always a basketball game on.

And maybe it's more of a generational thing.

But this was such a special event for me growing up in school because I grew up

in school where I had a laptop from sixth grade all the way to high school, all the way through college.

I know. I feel so, I don't want to make anyone feel old. But like the teachers couldn't stop you from

watching a game during class. The second that first game was on, school was done. It is such a special

event. No other sporting event even comes close to those first four days of March Maddenus. And I think we're in for like a generational tournament this year. There's three top tier talents in Adrian DeBonds, Boozer, and then you have Patterson on Kansas. And there's a bunch of other dogs on like North Carolina, Houston, Illinois, Virginia. We're going to have a great bracket this year. I love March Madness. Do you already have your winner picked? So I was going to go with Agent Abance and BYU, but his second star just tore his ACL, so now I'm kind of out on him. He reminds me so much of Jaylen Brown as a basketball player. Six-nine wing can do it all. He's very inconsistent sometimes from the three-point line. He does turn the ball over. But he reminds me of Jadden Brown so much. He's a Brockton kid, too, so he's from the area. But right now, I was on BYU just because I love seeing that top tier guy go. Duke, because I think bigs do well in the tournament, because it is such a low, the game is so much not free point, uh, free point specific in the college game. So I do like Duke because I think Boozer is the best forward in the tournament, but I don't have a winner pick just yet. I'll wait for the bracket. Do you think, uh, real world, Tom, because it's interesting, because I remember I remember you know March Madness when I was

younger and it you know it was very it was very big but do you think it's much bigger now because

of the betting betting and the brackets and all that kind of stuff remember wiggie a couple years ago

didn't we go do like an event we we were doing like live shows during the first couple hours, only specifically on Twitch, and we were all kind of at, what is that banners? Yeah, we're all there gambling and watching March Madness. Because I feel like, you know, a lot of, you know, you talk about the kid from BYU, AJ, the bants, right? Where he's probably going to be the number one overall picking. And nowadays in college basketball, there's so much one and done. Yeah. So you don't really get the teams. Like when I was growing up, it was the Fab Five at Michigan. Obviously, the Duke with Christian Leitner and Bobby Hurley and some of the North Carolina teams,

or no, with Kentucky teams with Jamal Mashburn, where guys would stick in college for like

three years, you know, sometimes even four years.

With so much one and done, it's hard to like, you know, have this team that you go,

oh, I remember this guy, this kid as a freshman and a sophomore.

So I wonder if it's so big because of the betting more than people just love the actual

teams that are playing in the, in March Madness.

Yeah, even when betting was illegal, it was still, this was even, it was, it was the office

pool.

So like everybody, it was sort of the, pool so like everybody it was sort of the the
