[SPEAKER_04]: Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-d
[SPEAKER_04]: And so on the reason we had a hiatus was I'd say 100% my fault because I traveled to my home city of Chicago, but before we get into all of that, I experienced something new today.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have my work from home office is next to a window.
[SPEAKER_04]: So if something is going on outside of that window, sometimes.
[SPEAKER_04]: it is audible to me.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I can hear it.
[SPEAKER_04]: And today I was on a call.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was just me and one other person.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's not like I can just go on mute while this is happening because we're interacting.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're having a back and forth.
[SPEAKER_04]: The ice cream truck in the neighborhood.
[SPEAKER_04]: I hear the ice cream truck.
[SPEAKER_04]: is coming down the street, this is a no regular occurrence.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd say it's sprinting after it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's may, I know, I said, excuse me, I have to go shoved the kids out of the way, got my ice cream, came back.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I hear this probably, I don't know, three times a month, maybe.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just, you know, just drives down, kind of does some laps and stuff today, though.
[SPEAKER_04]: It parked directly outside the house.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, it was there for a good 10 minutes just singing before driving off.
[SPEAKER_04]: And what would you say the most common ice cream truck song is like do your ears hang low, perhaps?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, is a common one.
[SPEAKER_00]: He hears hang, are you changing?
[SPEAKER_04]: Is that all right, changing?
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we'll do the official version by jibs.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're right, you're right, changing.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess changing.
[SPEAKER_04]: So like said, yeah, like some variant of that or um, you know, you'll hear a Yankee dude all now and again, like like those kinds of some this truck.
[SPEAKER_04]: In the year of our Lord, April 6th is one of our recordings.
[SPEAKER_04]: Monday, April 6th was playing Christmas songs.
[SPEAKER_00]: I heard we wish you a Merry Christmas deck the hall and all playing
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't see.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was too busy on the call.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was just waiting for this to I even reference it on the call.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like I apologize if there's been 10 minutes of I Christmas music, but in an ice cube truck soon.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he said he could not hear anything so that was good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Good suppression for Microsoft teams will give you a shout at because you do so many other things poorly like for soft teams.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, it's great.
[SPEAKER_04]: We love it.
[SPEAKER_04]: This podcast is sponsored by Microsoft.
[SPEAKER_00]: And and ice cream trucks that play holiday songs apparently.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that astonishes me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard that in my entire life.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I have one ice cream song stuck in my head.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's played other songs, but like those aren't memorable.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's not the ice cream song like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And what is that even summer?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's it?
[SPEAKER_00]: How it was warm outside.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty chilly this morning.
[SPEAKER_04]: maybe it's 70s, 60s or 70s, so you could have an ice cream.
[SPEAKER_04]: And as I learned working at Cold Stone Creamery in a Chicago suburb winter, people will get ice cream at any time if you're not mad or how cold it is outside.
[SPEAKER_00]: The weather doesn't matter.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well at least from an indoor place.
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like a truck is a little a little different because you have to wait and line outside and cold weather to get a ice cream, maybe you're thinking twice.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is that's pretty crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you ever look to see if there's a line of children worth 10 minutes of customers?
[SPEAKER_04]: I should have done it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have seen, I've been out walking Merlin, sometimes.
[SPEAKER_04]: And we'll see the ice cream truck.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's usually not a line of children.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they just kind of post up at a spot and hope someone will hear the music and they'll come outside.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, the the most I've ever seen is maybe two groups of of families or two kids lined up to get their much more expensive ice cream than going to the store.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think my, so my go to ice cream was with a ninja turtle.
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_00]: Very unbranded.
[SPEAKER_00]: Very surprised with the gum ball ice gum ball eyes.
[SPEAKER_00]: But if they were out of ninja turtle and after I got done crying for five to 10 years.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if the ice human had left yet, I would get a Sonic the Hedgehog as a backup as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Same face with gum ball eyes.
[SPEAKER_04]: So essentially the same, it's the different IP that you've, I love the idea that you're crying and you're like, you've finally gotten through the tears, you're wiping away the last one, and that's when the driver leaves.
[SPEAKER_04]: I did, I didn't tackle it, this ice cream truck literally left as soon as I hung up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, ended the call and I heard the music getting more distant and it was,
[SPEAKER_04]: the timing was impact, but ice cream trucks aside, a lovely sports extravaganza trip for me in the cargo.
[SPEAKER_04]: My sister and I went to three different sporting events.
[SPEAKER_04]: I guess technically four because Cubs home opener and then the sweet 16 matchup in Chicago,
[SPEAKER_04]: which you guessed it was not the best patch of games.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was Alabama and Michigan who could be a national champion by the time you're listening to this.
[SPEAKER_04]: Or a runner up either way.
[SPEAKER_04]: versus Alabama, which was a very entertaining game, and it was close for some of it, and then Michigan became Michigan, and fully dominated.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then Tennessee and Iowa State, which was extremely disappointing to someone who, for some reason, put Iowa State in his final four.
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, that was before their best player got hurt.
[SPEAKER_04]: I like five minutes into the first game and man I was state seems to have a tradition of doing that they have had one place but seasons derailed by their star player getting hurt very hally Burton which with the house I was saying well I'm not interested what am I trying to say?
[SPEAKER_00]: hally Burton game seven
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's Achilles tear.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, an immediate tear.
[SPEAKER_04]: In Iowa States case, it's usually even, they don't even get that far.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just like, it's like during the conference tournament or right at the start of the NCAA.
[SPEAKER_04]: So very, very rough there, but we persevered.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then the Chicago Blackhawks, we saw a game on,
[SPEAKER_04]: Tuesday night.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I, it was against the Winnipeg Jets.
[SPEAKER_04]: Why believe the last time we saw a Black Hawk's home hockey game was also against the Winnipeg Jets and a very similar I sort of sort of vibe in this game because in in both of them,
[SPEAKER_04]: I believe the Blackhawk scored first.
[SPEAKER_04]: They definitely did in this one.
[SPEAKER_04]: We also got to see two goals from Tyler Bertousie and the first ever goal from Anton Frontel.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's kind of cool.
[SPEAKER_04]: You see a rookie score their first goal.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's fun.
[SPEAKER_04]: But the Blackhawk's gave up a lead.
[SPEAKER_04]: then scored a late goal to tie it, then lost within the first minute of overtime in both of these days.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's excitement when they tie it up and then just immediately it runs off and just a tough break all around, but a good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Good sporting event over on and in fact the cubs lost as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: So really aside from getting Michigan correct and and that crowd was very pro Michigan.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that part felt like a home win.
[SPEAKER_04]: But it definitely seemed like I was state faithful outnumbered Tennessee fans and they were.
[SPEAKER_04]: quite disappointed.
[SPEAKER_04]: We also, we're annoyed by the people sitting next to us in the Michigan game, so we moved down a few rows.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then we're very annoyed by the people right behind us, but it was a, a drunk woman who was just yelling, let's go Iowa State with like, way too much regularity.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like you don't need to say at that often.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it was just like, come on, stay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's go.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was dead.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then,
[SPEAKER_04]: Thankfully, I think got too drunk to like, and maybe even fell asleep.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was like, yeah, like, after maybe like three or four minutes, the shouting stopped.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think she woke up again shortly after half time.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because it started up again for like a couple minutes, but by then, Tennessee had had, boosted their lead by quite a bit, so.
[SPEAKER_00]: No more reason to say, come on.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's just disappointment that they couldn't grab a rebadge because, again, I guess, one player was such a glue for their team that they had no adhesive through the first and second half of the, that's, I mean, you may start a good, did you at least get to watch the, the good games.
[SPEAKER_04]: sort of, so the ones that we're going on during Friday were the Duke and St. Johns and Michigan State Yukon, and so they would show in, or put in like live look-ins.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think when we went to sea games, I think they'd do something similar where they'd just have it on the jumbo tron and just like put the broadcast.
[SPEAKER_04]: But what was
[SPEAKER_04]: I also had it up on my phone because I learned this, but they, they will take it away at a moment's notice.
[SPEAKER_04]: And like, when the action starts again, that's understandable.
[SPEAKER_04]: But like, they were shown it at halftime.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, you could just run this the whole halftime.
[SPEAKER_04]: Nothing going on.
[SPEAKER_04]: They would not always do that.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I had it on my phone, even though the phone was maybe 15 to 22nds behind what they were showing on there.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then there was, I,
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's surprising.
[SPEAKER_04]: I would think I know, I think the other China would be delayed, but yeah, I would think that as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: But just I guess everyone was on their phone.
[SPEAKER_04]: So maybe we're all delayed that way.
[SPEAKER_04]: But there was I think it was the Michigan State game had a Michigan say had a chance to tie.
[SPEAKER_04]: I in the closing seconds, they were down by a ton, they had come back, took the lead, gave up the lead again, had a chance to tie with a three, and Tom is though.
[SPEAKER_04]: We know he's a legendary coach.
[SPEAKER_04]: Tom is.
[SPEAKER_04]: But he did the thing that I have seen, I feel like more often this year than in years past, although I know this has happened many times in years past.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're a team has a timeout.
[SPEAKER_04]: the coach doesn't call a time out he's going to let them, you know, let them run the offense, which I agree with this.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think, especially if you're like getting a ball off a miss defenses and set, you know, try and try and score while they're off.
[SPEAKER_04]: But if it's clear that nothing is developing.
[SPEAKER_04]: all the time, like Michigan said last possession was so bad and then they just had to hoist up a shower like two seconds left because they were just they couldn't get into any offense and it's like you got you got some good players but they clearly weren't getting into it like let's let's call it time out reset set something up but the cutaway of the game literally cut away as the shot was in the air and went back
[SPEAKER_04]: Because the game was resuming play that we were watching live and it was just, you, you, yeah, booze across.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know one was saying boo errands.
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just straight up booze.
[SPEAKER_04]: Nobody was saying boo errands.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was pretty loud.
[SPEAKER_04]: Honestly, I'm glad I had it on my phone.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know your phone, so you can be like, ah, hey, look at me, buddy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, have it right here.
[SPEAKER_04]: and they did get it back up a few seconds later, but it was after the missed shot and you conceding to the free throw line and clenching the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: So very, very much never going to be talked about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: shift and gears to the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you listen to the podcast, you better have seen that Duke something wrong with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a shame that happened during the first week of his vacation.
[SPEAKER_00]: We could have if it was the second week, we'd be fresh off of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that poor booser,
[SPEAKER_00]: They kept calling twins, I'm like, I'm looking at them.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I just call them twins, because their brothers, like, and they, you know, are around the same age.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, they were twins, but fraternal twins.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is something I learned, like, want to significantly larger than the other.
[SPEAKER_00]: One, we'll have a career.
[SPEAKER_00]: The other one will be cheering on his brother, and said to her, right here.
[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds like, I'll make it call them twins,
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's the older one?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, they started, and they kept calling him younger brother.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, okay, but then why are they calling him twins?
[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't put it together until the post game where he said, you know, this is the last time getting to play with his brother.
[SPEAKER_00]: His twin brother.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, oh, Google, oh dear.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yes, the shot hurt round the world, which is, I hate that cliche.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why is a shot that's always like, uh,
[SPEAKER_00]: a buzzer beater or like amazing why is it the shot hurt around the world like I don't know if in Australia if they heard it like it's a very quiet switch I didn't hear it that was an awesome but like maybe if everybody had their volume up all the way then it'd be heard around the world I think it was an amazing thing
[SPEAKER_04]: some of it's the reaction as well because I can do you show my family collectively outside of me.
[SPEAKER_04]: I would venture a guess as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: Actually, I think my mom did say she watched some highlights of one of Miami's tournament games.
[SPEAKER_04]: that was on the news.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I would say collectively, they've watched, let's say three minutes of basketball.
[SPEAKER_04]: Brat the season.
[SPEAKER_04]: Somehow we watched the bulk of that Duke Eucong game together.
[SPEAKER_04]: I had it on downstairs.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, one by one, each member of the fan was kind of coming in.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're all watching.
[SPEAKER_04]: My dad had Duke in the title game, but he probably could not care less about the
[SPEAKER_04]: at least me and my sister did pretty sure my parents let out an audible sound as well when the shot went in.
[SPEAKER_04]: But me and my sister both just screamed like crazy.
[SPEAKER_04]: She also had Yucan as her runner up.
[SPEAKER_04]: She has Michigan versus Yucan in the title game.
[SPEAKER_04]: She asked me for advice.
[SPEAKER_04]: I should have been asking her for advice.
[SPEAKER_00]: She got to be right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, and she has Michigan winning so she can win her work bracket if they win which you'll know by the time you're listening to this podcast Don't you love when we do these blind podcasts, Sean, where it's yeah, we just got to record both team It should get stay Wolverines What's that what's going to range Just records the wrong team next to splice the bowling green falcon
[SPEAKER_00]: When the shot went up, no, when it still happened.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I don't let me back there.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm telling you, remember, it's so like, it's the show back to 18 minutes left in the first half.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, I'm sorry, I got it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I was asleep and then I woke up and I'm horizontal on a couch watching this game.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's getting closer, I'm like, oh, maybe, but then Duke has two free throws.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, all right, if you make sees, like, it's over.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mrs. the first, I'm like, okay, what goes on here?
[SPEAKER_00]: Make the second, I'm like, all right, but then they end down the ball and they get off two passes and like, all right, after two passes, that's what you found.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can trap in the corner, you can trap in the back court.
[SPEAKER_00]: You had mid court now.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is when you found to get to a free phone and, you know, do go.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Little Booser saw two wide open players in the front court.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I can't blame him.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't imagine being 18 in this situation.
[SPEAKER_00]: White open players, do I take the foul, get and risk myself, being on the pressure, missing free throws, and losing the game, or do I pass it to the wide open guys that are out in the front court?
[SPEAKER_00]: They catch the ball, no time to foul, games over.
[SPEAKER_00]: The two you can't defend is running at them.
[SPEAKER_00]: One of them anticipates it very well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mixed a great play.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what a greatness begins on that play right there, because wow, that's just fast twitch to just jump up and get it, because it wasn't like hitting roll it on the ground.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was like, it was a fast ball.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he got it, boggle's up in the air, they get the ball back.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Mullins guy gets the ball back.
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember care man from their championship two championships ago, why is he still on the team?
[SPEAKER_04]: I guess he was a freshman there, their first year.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's a legit for, I'd air he might be a red shirt freshman, but he was, he's just been at Yukon the whole time.
[SPEAKER_00]: the whole time, I recognized that name, because he was part of the most disciplined team we've ever seen, play basketball.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you think he's a senior now, so you're gonna take the shot.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, passes it back to the Frenchman, which I didn't know at the time, had missed all of his three seconds.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was over for three.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's a man these days, like an NBA JM, and if you shop from half court, it was a heave, like these guys,
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, choose a jump shot from near the name of your half court.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing but the bottom of the net.
[SPEAKER_00]: Your old high school phone apponent makes his face when the sideline, like, what kind of faces that is John Shire do?
[SPEAKER_04]: He did always make weird faces when we'd play as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think it's just in his blood.
[SPEAKER_00]: is like, I wish I had been all zeroes because I went from horizontal on the couch to in the air.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, my body had levitated.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was screaming.
[SPEAKER_04]: Carl Sean do a leapa.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's levitating.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then like you go and see this point three and oh no this point four so you can get a you can get a shot off in point four so it's like day it would it would have been cool Duke did not get a shot off Um, it would have been so cool if it was that all zeroes that would have been like man just like oh it was madness but even more madness would have been Christian's madness Yes, yeah, I agree.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think
[SPEAKER_04]: I, not to, not to always bring this back to Miami, but I felt the same way.
[SPEAKER_04]: Miami lost a little Chicago on what appeared to be a buzzer beater, then they reviewed it.
[SPEAKER_04]: They put, I think it was 0.3 back on the clock, which I, I know they did a sports science on this with Jason Capono, and I believe he got it off in 0.22 seconds.
[SPEAKER_04]: So technically, if it's 0.3, it is a catch and shoot, but I think they still say it's 0.4, but I don't know, maybe it's, maybe it is 0.3 now.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: you have to launch it full court and try to catch or tap it in and just it's such a bummer like for something that's so unlikely to happen.
[SPEAKER_04]: Even the team I was rooting for, yeah, like I was still just like now making all serious.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because then they got to go the team doing call the time out.
[SPEAKER_00]: The referee got to go to the to the
[SPEAKER_00]: to the thing, and so now the thing, the monitor, and so now they're counting hundreds of seconds to add it up to a tenth of a second or not.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so then I sat back down, like I was in the air, and then I sat back down, because I'm like, well, the game's gonna hit, it's no way.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so like, cause, you know, cause that's why they, you still can't invest the ball, so like, don't mind, difficult.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if, if it's ever happened less than a half
[SPEAKER_00]: I shot up to win a game in college.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it was on that level of great shots you ever seen.
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, that was in the Elite 8 and never time left.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it kind of like, it would have been so cool if it was like, Final Four, Novel Potai left.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where you get your Christian light there in your, and you're Villanova's and you're, was the same joke.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, Gonzaga, Gonzaga, and one, but then last in the next round, like, yeah, that's where you get those moments.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I think this moment will still be on quite a few.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because it's done.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think this moment will still be on quite a few.
[SPEAKER_00]: But like, if you don't remember the context, like years out in the road, like how much you con was winning was losing by.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, it's, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just, you know, I always watched the best damn sports show growing up.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they would just do lists of moments.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they would always just show, you know, trooper.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I've seen that the Houston, NC State shot airball laying up, like so many times.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I hope this is remember this album,
[SPEAKER_00]: Only time can tell.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, only time can tell.
[SPEAKER_04]: In fact, Sean, this reminded me a little bit of a Michigan buzzer Peter also in 2018 the last time that that yes over Houston where it was a senior passing to a freshman.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know that was devastating for Houston, but someone who successfully picked Villanova over Michigan that year in the bracket.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was going nuts.
[SPEAKER_02]: You.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the most important part.
[SPEAKER_00]: That you were going nuts.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it did choke with yourself on your own last year, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I'm choked because of allergies, but yes, adding to it via sweet death laughter.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, unless something crazy happens tonight, we've already seen the moment of the tournament.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, watch it.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like a coin tuple over time game.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll do an emergency pod.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll forget about do get.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'll be awake.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe not.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm asleep.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll sit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Queen Tupel.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a tell me in the morning
[SPEAKER_00]: But we don't have any of these moments.
[SPEAKER_00]: We have anti-moments in the women's game where my bracket fell apart, supremely in the final four.
[SPEAKER_00]: When my champion Texas decided to play the worst game of the season, maybe at the past three seasons, I guess UCLA.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you can
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't ruining the moment for all the women's basketball.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Gino, because he said Don City didn't check his hand before the game, because after they got blown out by South Carolina, and the ESPN had footage of them shaking hands right before the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like, he was just salty and he's petty.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he had to statement the apology.
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't apologize to Don State, it's silly at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: He just said, South Carolina and their staff was like,
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, just get out of here dog like I'll engage you know like that, but now I see what people say about him It might be true because this is whoa, this is bad such a bad look.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's lucky he's lucky you got 12 champion tubes
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's an awful look.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's, they, ESPN showed some other angle where it was like later.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was standing there and she didn't come for a handshake.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's like, who, why are you still thinking about that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Like why aren't you coaching your team?
[SPEAKER_04]: Like you, you just got beaten.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then in his post gave me was talking about how Sarah Strongz jersey got ripped.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was like, no, you got to review the tape.
[SPEAKER_00]: She did it herself.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just everyone.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm probably the worst game for sure of the season.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it was the only loss, but just just not good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Tough day, tough day for everyone.
[SPEAKER_04]: I not on UCLA.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, you see I like, I mean, I just don't have their line of the for, I also, I just said, Tessa Johnson is like, the coolest cucumber.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've ever, like, she's, even when they, they were getting destroyed, she'd just be like, smooth mid range real quick, like her, I admire her level of calmness at all times, it seems.
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought Madison Booker had that calmness, but it's been two, fours and a, and a, they last three years,
[SPEAKER_00]: She's the most consistent player to ever play for Texas, but then in the final four, it's just like, it's not there.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what's up with her.
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, she probably played a worst game of her career, it's just like, dang dog.
[SPEAKER_00]: This, and here that where you come finally loses, it's like, this is it, we got it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not, it's not the year.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is, it is UCLA and that defense of apparently.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, they're whole, this is going 79 points of the championship and it was all seniors.
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, okay, I guess it counts having the grown women on the team.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's a real, honestly, it's a real nice story.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know it came at Texas' expense, but it's a nice story to have, you know, in the era of NIL to have a team that grew up together, did all kinds of things.
[SPEAKER_04]: I did like, as well, Gabriel, I, I, Hawkeyes.
[SPEAKER_04]: with, I was trying to remember her brother's name, Jaime Hawkins.
[SPEAKER_04]: How many?
[SPEAKER_04]: They went into the, they like cut away to the audience to be like, oh, her brother's here.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was not there.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was like at the concession standard.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they were like, high-profess Isaac, where he might be.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then they said, you know what?
[SPEAKER_04]: We won't try to guess where he is right now.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe he had to fly back or what I remember.
[SPEAKER_00]: Back to the team.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then they cut back a few minutes later.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he was there.
[SPEAKER_04]: And all was forgiven.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Jaime's back.
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, the uh, where we, did we record after Texas Loss of Purdue?
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember it.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, that was also while I was in Chicago.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's, let's weep over that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Both of our teams lost a Purdue in the men's tournament.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look at that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And both of our teams had a specific reason why that damn number four.
[SPEAKER_00]: As Rohan put it, unethical basketball player you've ever seen, it's, it was hard and level.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was, uh, genobly, doing weight in the 2006 finals level, it, it, it, it, this man.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm out of chillies.
[SPEAKER_00]: Grant, I'll try to go to Pluckers, Pluckers Parking Levels Fool, Chillies is right next door.
[SPEAKER_00]: I go to Chillies.
[SPEAKER_00]: Chillies has a, this is March.
[SPEAKER_00]: They had a six dollar lemon job, Margarita.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I came to the right place.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, it's on watching this game.
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a three for me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a guy next to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got on Texas stuff, we're cheering.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're just sitting here watching this damn number four for Purdue.
[SPEAKER_00]: Post up.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so he posted up and asked the defender behind him.
[SPEAKER_00]: He would throw his arms back and hook the defenders arms into him and then flail and fall down and he got our big man, thought out of the game, doing that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it just, it happened repeatedly.
[SPEAKER_00]: The entire game, I lose the my shit as more and more lemon-shot margaritas are consumed.
[SPEAKER_00]: One time he got caught for a flagrant because they noticed that he did the hook and he actually pulled the defender with him.
[SPEAKER_00]: But all the other times they called it on Texas and I was like, I was so mad.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't pass them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Facebook anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was posting on Facebook how fraudulent perdu was.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, but perdu one.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that month, that dude made the game in tip and shot because our big minute found out of the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we had a guard trying to box them out, didn't work out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, they made it to the next round.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember who they played for, but that dude only had one rebound.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, I was pleased.
[SPEAKER_04]: They played against Arizona, and that made me think, oh, yeah, Arizona could perhaps win the whole thing the way they looked at the second half of that game and then they went up against the Michigan juggernaut and that was immediate.
[SPEAKER_04]: The whole season, it was Michigan, Arizona and Duke, we're like far in a way, the three best schools.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I only picked one to make the final four.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was saying, how stupid am I?
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, Arizona, Michigan should have been automatic right into the final four.
[SPEAKER_04]: No one was good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Purdue should have lost to Texas and Miami, really, let's take a look.
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: No sour grapes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you call it wasn't this good.
[SPEAKER_00]: As Alano's care band.
[SPEAKER_04]: you can per their own fans were not good and they didn't they lost to St. John's and the the biggest tournament and the regular season so people.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I mean, I'm just looking at their schedule, they'd be quite a few good tips in the non-conference like included taxes.
[SPEAKER_04]: So you should have known Sean, you should have known and told me.
[SPEAKER_04]: But this is now I.
[SPEAKER_04]: Since 2006, if you remember
[SPEAKER_04]: Where Florida won it's first of two championship ships back to back there were three seed
[SPEAKER_04]: I remember watching that Yukon George Mason game.
[SPEAKER_04]: You, Sean, you want to talk about going to bed.
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't go to bed, I had to go to work, I had to go work at Coldstone, feed some people ice cream.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I remember recording that game, and the game had not ended, and so I went through my whole shift not knowing who won, because thankfully no one spoiled it.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was pre-social media, we could live, or like, I guess social media was just kind of getting started.
[SPEAKER_00]: But, right.
[SPEAKER_04]: able to live without you didn't look at my face on your phone.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, didn't have to.
[SPEAKER_04]: Didn't have to.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I log back in or I come back and watch the rest of the recording.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thought surely you can't win.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I had not ever seen a double-digit seed make the final four, but George Mason did it.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was excellent.
[SPEAKER_04]: Florida won the championship.
[SPEAKER_04]: Since then, Villanova is the only school to win a championship who has not been a one seed or you can.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, Reddit.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think this is across other places too, but it's where I see it the most is when you're filling out your bracket You just do OS OC.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's one seed or Yukon as your winner and you will be Almost 100% correct.
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course that requires picking the correct one seed, but or the correct Yukon, but
[SPEAKER_04]: Just pretty wild.
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I kept hearing a stat that Duke is going to win the championship.
[SPEAKER_00]: They have to be St. John's and they beat St. John's this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're going to, but oh no, they messed up.
[SPEAKER_00]: That I'll find a forward George Mason.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not watch because Texas lost in the lead eight.
[SPEAKER_00]: Look.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, I'm not watching any more.
[SPEAKER_00]: Was that LSU?
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the LSU, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the big baby in Tyros Thomas.
[SPEAKER_00]: We can't do anything to stop them.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're like, we have the Marcus Laltrex.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing we can do this time.
[SPEAKER_04]: I am certain that as the reason the bulls drafted Tyros Thomas was that right.
[SPEAKER_00]: That game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that that run.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Actually what they did was draft Lamarkis haulage and then immediately trade four tyros dropped and I said, I bet this was a mistake.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I was like, it's the guy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Lemarkus was what a junior, or sophomore.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was there.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was sophomore.
[SPEAKER_00]: We thought, because we were dreaming of him staying and coming and playing with Katie and having him and the others, but no, I was like, this guy has been very good for two years.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's ready to leave.
[SPEAKER_04]: Tyrus Thomas had five good get four good get.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think he played pretty poorly in the final four.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was like four good tournament games.
[SPEAKER_04]: and they went with that instead, but whatever, it's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's fine, college basketball, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't work out.
[SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't, but man, regularly opening day, what an odd live, what a vibe.
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't need to get too into it, but not just in complete, oh, and the sports are dumb.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the, I hear, like, someone's like, the tigers opened up.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, so now people are like hating on interleak play and like, oh man, that's kind of weird.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it used to be, well, when the Astros were in the NL, it would be once every like five years where the Rangers would play the Astros and it was like a thing, but now they're in the same division.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know, it makes me sad.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I like, I do the White Talks play the Cubs every year now.
[SPEAKER_04]: I am, yeah, I'm certain that's been the case.
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't remember a year when that hasn't happened.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe, I think even in the COVID short and season, I'm pretty sure they still had a matchup.
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, I remember when it was like a three week stretch.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, during the year, and you'd maybe get some games in, but the Yankees versus the Dodgers, what?
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
[SPEAKER_04]: Propostras, but the Cubs did not play an American LinkedIn.
[SPEAKER_04]: They put the Washington Nationals and a fellow Joey.
[SPEAKER_04]: Joey Weaver, I did not, I got excited that there was a Joey who I just looked at a piece of it in 476 on the season, but he, he tied a record that, um,
[SPEAKER_04]: his, the most most consecutive plate appearances to start a season, reaching safely, reaching basically.
[SPEAKER_04]: So his first 10 plate appearances, he reached base safely, which only Carlos Delgado has done in the last 120 years since, Larry, the 2019, 2020 live ball era.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he said that's 100 years.
[SPEAKER_04]: I said, I said last 120 years, but it's since 1920.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the last 106 years.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, so I, very, very cool to see a Joey doing good things.
[SPEAKER_04]: Nationals won by quite a bit.
[SPEAKER_04]: We stayed until the end of the seventh inning, and then it was so cold, because of the wind.
[SPEAKER_04]: the next day it was 80 degrees.
[SPEAKER_00]: So real sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's like going head to head with a ref.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like why didn't he get a tech?
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's not the moment to get a tech because like the greatest shot of this this decade just happened, but why didn't he get a tech?
[SPEAKER_04]: I saw it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I saw an interview with him afterwards.
[SPEAKER_04]: And so like
[SPEAKER_04]: After the, after the Gino, yeah, after the Gino thing, people were like, well, oh, you caught all the hires, asshole coaches.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like,
[SPEAKER_04]: Dan Hurley doesn't insult his fellow coaches.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like he has, he seems to have great live respect for other coaches.
[SPEAKER_04]: And basically everyone is not an official.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I saw, he was being interviewed on, and I assumed some like Yukon podcast or something.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they asked about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he said that the rough was coming over to tell him that he, that there was going to be like 0.3 seconds, that 0.3.4.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he, he said he was still processing the shot that he didn't even understand.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's, you know, he's, he's someone who's like so easy to talk to.
[SPEAKER_04]: So we just, he's like, I just kind of, he's like, I didn't even really realize I was doing it until I, you know, saw like video of it afterwards.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, oh,
[SPEAKER_04]: Which maybe that's just a, you know, a way to cover it up or whatever, but I thought that was a pretty funny expert that he was just so He's so deep out of his mind.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, like he almost thought he's he's I think he even said like I thought he was coming over to give me a high five Something because they're so like, you know, love hate buddy buddy Jack, it's great.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great fun because it's so Jack is like half on
[SPEAKER_00]: His back and he just the rev comes over and the rev doesn't even like acknowledge him He just kind of turns after they go forehead the forehead staring at each other like face off like it's like the movie poster Like the movie face off that's what happened and it's just like what do you do?
[SPEAKER_04]: Sean, we, we, you talked about the shot heard around the world that everyone saw.
[SPEAKER_04]: We should have fully discussed this when we were talking about it.
[SPEAKER_04]: But we'll, we'll wrap on this.
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you also see all of the CBS released a video of like all the cameras they had?
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's, you get to see his urine's cussing and yeah, we're going nuts.
[SPEAKER_04]: We have been, and I, I think the, I don't know, the clip, I, I think we'll put in the show notes is the one.
[SPEAKER_04]: We love this from the Virginia Furman game where you also saw the announcers.
[SPEAKER_04]: You saw Kevin Harlan and Stampin' Cundi, freaking out.
[SPEAKER_04]: But there's one with Iron Eagle and Grant Hill and Bob Raffdary.
[SPEAKER_04]: And Grant Hill is just like flabbergasted.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's just...
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's just like because he's like yeah, he's like uh, and then realizes he has to do it like like much better Composure than I would have and that's a question if that was my alma mater doing it Kudos to him even if
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't seen that one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've only seen a Duke announcer where he freaks out and wants to call a tech for somebody running off the bench, but the player that he calls out will tell everybody on the floor.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the most, like most.
[SPEAKER_04]: Everyone just saying, that's the most Duke response effort.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, there's a Duke radio announcer to call of the broadcast, and he goes, smell like I smell like I smell this on the floor.
[SPEAKER_04]: He ran off the bed, she ran off the bed.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that should be a tactical.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I smell like I smell very much on the court for that way.
[SPEAKER_00]: But like this is no sell of a call.
[SPEAKER_00]: I do understand, because you eat.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like as soon as you can't get to steal, like it's going in.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's like, oh, this is what happens when you turn over the wall.
[SPEAKER_00]: At least not gonna miss that shot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he hit it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, put that to three, oh, he hit it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I like to Ryan Rukko's disappointed.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so obstacles.
[SPEAKER_00]: You bet.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's waiting.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's waiting to explode and do it.
[SPEAKER_04]: You bet, but it's unfortunately.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

[SPEAKER_00]: There's three for me, man.
[SPEAKER_04]: I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm
