Chapter 1: What games and picks are discussed for the Final Four?
On today's part in my take, we have a twofer for the people. We have Dickie V on the show talking Final Four. We only had him for about 15 minutes because his voice, he's still working it back, but it was have to have Dickie V on when offered. And then we have WWE champion Cody Rhodes in studio. Really awesome interview. Cool, cool guy. So we had a lot of fun talking to him.

Chapter 2: Where might Aaron Rodgers play next year?
Listen, Charles Barkley, when he's talking about the big old women, don't act like Charles doesn't sneak a peek.
Yeah, San Antone.
Who amongst us doesn't?
So, we have it. We're ready. Duke, Houston, Auburn, Florida. This will be... It is the best Final Four, I think, ever, just if you're looking at statistics.
I have to tell myself that. Yeah. I have to tell myself that this weekend is going to be the best weekend of college basketball of my life.
Every single team in this Final Four any other year is probably a champion without, you know what I mean, without this type of competition. That's how good they all are. And I have been saying for a month and a half now that it is Duke's year, and I do fully think that. They feel like even though it's a loaded Final Four, they feel a little step ahead. But I'm excited to watch the games.
I will not be rooting for Duke, but I am also resigned to the fact they will probably win.
If Duke doesn't lose, you talk about an all-time wasted meme from the White Lotus, right? I know. It feels like that has to be used at some point.
Yeah.

Chapter 3: Does Shohei Otani have the most aura in baseball?
So we're picking a team in the Final Four, and we get Moneyline. We're picking Moneyline, and then it's a rollover, so it's going to be with DraftKings. We're picking our teams. So if you bet Duke, then you obviously $1,000 would win you $600. I'll pull it up right now.
Let's do a lotto ball to figure out the order, and then we'll go in order. We can go 0 to 25, 25 to 50, 50 to 75. That's fair. Okay, I like that. I'll take three. And then we'll just go in clockwise.
Okay. Hank, you have zero to 25. Max, you have 25 to 50. You have 51 to 75. And then I have 76 to 99 or 100. I hope it's three. I really hope it's three.
39 that's max so that's me so i get so i get first one we go clockwise counter what what we never go counter um my first pick will be well it's your only pick yeah my yes but my first overall pick will be auburn at plus 130 so that would be 1000 would be 1300 okay so i would get a 1300 bonus bet okay i will go uh florida
Oh, okay.
My first pick's still here. That's minus 155. You'll get 1645.
Yeah. I'll take Houston. Longest odds. You're a piece of shit. I don't know why they didn't take Houston.
That's plus 220.
I know, but it's free bets. I just wanted to fade Max. Yeah.
