Chapter 1: Why is last night's show considered top three all time?
Shadow Show. Shadowin' it. Shadowin' it. Chris, director Jason just came in here, and he doesn't say very much. This was effusive for him. This was a champagne bottle opening. He said, last night's show, top three all time. And I'm like, that can't be right. That's in no way right. And then, because I was staring at him, I just said, you mean since you've been here, right?
And he's been here 17 minutes. And the show last night, your thoughts today as we come in a little broken? It seems like you guys are a little beat up today.
It was really fun. I don't have anything to talk about today.
Yeah, that's the tricky part.
Last night, great time.
Yeah. Yeah.
You don't have anything to say today? You're out of opinions? You just talked about college basketball so much last night.
I sort of used it all last night.
We do get some free golf today. That I'm excited about. The players.

Chapter 2: What are the hosts' thoughts on international MLB games?
During the show. The next two days, we're going to have sports during the show. We're going to have Major League Baseball tomorrow at 6 a.m. That's back.
No, it's not fake. It's back. If Otani is playing a meaningful game in Japan, you lock in. It's real.
What do you mean it's fake?
It's real. They've been doing this fake thing for 15 years plus. Honestly, probably even longer than that. You get on board.
I don't understand the accusation of that's fake.
It's fake. What do you mean? Here's how real it is. Every self-respecting baseball fantasy league drafts after these games are played because they're like, yeah, no, I'm not.
I'm not drafting March 17th because we're going to go play two random games to pander internationally to grow the game, and then we'll come back, and then you're still going to play spring training games for two weeks, and then the season's going to start next week. Like, no, that's fake. Okay, we can pretend it's real. It'll count in the record book. Whatever. It's fake. Not opening day.
It's going to feel plenty real at 9 a.m. tomorrow when we're locked in on the sixth inning.
I just don't understand how you can call something.

Chapter 3: Why does Dan Le Batard use last names?
White Lotus has a controversy because Jason Isaacs is running around saying that there's a double standard. He's not answering any more questions about his penis because he's been accused of it being a prosthetic. The full frontal remains funny. Forgetting Sarah Marshall, great movie, funny movie. That's the scene I remember.
I don't know why it is that McBride likes it so much, but I think that's the reason, because you just can't lose with it. But it's still rare, is it not? You got two shows on Max doing this, and White Lotus is in the middle of something of a controversy over it. But it's still a rare thing, right?
I remember on network television, NYPD Blue, when it was a big deal that Sipowicz showed his ass on network television. And now we're starting the second episode of... the fourth season of righteous gemstones last season of righteous gemstones. And, uh, Goggins has gone from, I don't know. When did you guys discover him?
Because I remember him beginning his career, um, with the shield and he was, and I don't, I don't, that's the first time I noticed him. His character was very good, but, uh, And so to watch his acting evolution to, you know, the comedic, Baby Billy is one of the best characters I've ever seen on television. Like it's legitimately funny every time he's there.
And it's just amazing to see his acting range go from what it was in The Shield. None of you guys watched The Shield, right?
No, I watched it. I know that you were always like really big on The Shield. I'm getting to it. Oh, what? Get around to it.
justified he was in um hateful eight those were all 2010s movie movies and shows though the shield was way back in the day dan i never watched the shield i uh shield was groundbreaking television and it was uh it was dirty and grittier than most it was dangerous for its time because it was pushing boundaries but when i ask you about the full frontal stuff it's unusual to see it correct like it's still so anymore we've
HBO has really, in the last five years, I would say, I mean, even the last season of Righteous Gemstones that came out over a year ago, it's been a lot of penises.
This is McBride.

Chapter 4: What happened with the underdogs hanging around?
The players got suspended at like 1 p.m. yesterday.
Players is going on right now. We got a three-hole playoff. Three holes for Rory to choke. That's not why you didn't come. Free golf.
You're going to be fixated here. We're in the middle of it right now. It is golf live, and we're going to watch these three holes together.
Yeah, well, I mean, you can watch it with me if you'd like, but I got an eye towards this. Yeah, we got three. It's a back three, right? It's the final three holes, so that means the Island Green's going to Rear its ugly head here.
But you're watching this for Rory to fall apart? That's the reason you're watching? I also have a bet on Spahn. I mean, we're watching because it's the players. Players. You guys enjoy saying that. Laranega, let's play that sound here real quick and see, because I would just expect Jim Laranega as the pillar of a coach for the University of Miami to know one of his biggest media supporters.
Coach, when a player comes up to you and they say they want more money, do you call Mike Ryan directly, or how does that work? How do you get more money for the players?
Do I call who? They want to know if Mike Ryan is somebody that you like or know. Mike Ryan, who's on our show, who is one of your biggest boosters.
He's at home, I think. One of those you-know-if-you-see-him type guys, probably. So is he a booster? Can I get some money from him for NIL? You could.
We're asking. He's a golden cane, I think. I don't know if that means something.

Chapter 5: How did North Carolina make it into the tournament?
We had a huge amount. We had fun the whole time. We got to meet Fillerwich, too. That's why we haven't left. We're still here.
Can you guys explain to us, because you guys came on with us last night immediately after the tournament, and I was wondering if there was anything in the analysis afterward that you were not prepared to give us at the time.
Oh, good question. We didn't talk about Colorado State.
over over memphis right i thought the seating was pretty good this year so i have no i have no qualms usually i'm boiling mad about something but if your biggest problem is colorado state and memphis yeah i don't know that's uh we didn't we gave our big upsets but we didn't mention the rams
Oh, you mean in terms of who could win?
Oh, yeah.
Ram it down their throats.
Take it by the horns. It seemed, though, that the big story of the day where people are always looking to find some sort of outrage wherever it is that they can find it because we enjoy it so much. It seemed like the big story was that North Carolina made it in and the conspiracy of that.
Yes, and it's like totally tying into the era we're living in where conspiracies are taken as fact. So when Bubba Cunningham says, this is the protocol, I'm not in the room, stuff like this happens every year, you've got 50 articles coming out within five minutes. travesty, North Carolina gets in and their AD is to blame.

Chapter 6: What controversies exist in the women's tournament?
By the way, I feel good for, I'm happy for Jalen Withers, who I would not have wanted to be that kid and cost your team an NCAA tournament berth on a lane violation.
Can we play the sound, please, of Bubba Cunningham? It's wonderful to have him actually named Bubba. Can we just play the sound of him saying, I didn't have anything to do with this?
You know, all the policies and procedures were followed. And Keith can address exactly how North Carolina was discussed because I was not in room for any of that.
Yeah, thanks, Bubba. And Seth, I appreciate the question. As the vice chair, I managed all the conversations that we had about North Carolina, and we had quite a few. Our policies require the AD of any school to recuse themselves and actually leave the room for those discussions. And they're not allowed to participate in any vote as well.
So we followed those, had lots of discussions about North Carolina.
i i think mathematically that's absurd all right i don't indulge in conspiracy theories but every change to a network of data affects all the members of the network if you're not talking about north carolina you're talking about teams that either played north carolina or played their opponents or are going to be affected if north carolina is in or out so that's that's kind of a shady remark i thought
Shadiness.
Oh, look at Jessica, delighted by the shadiness.
I don't know much about Quad 1, but that's bad.
