Yeah, mine is. And I'm not just saying this because we had Brian Andison on today, but the announcers I realize are the best during March Madness, and like, from top to bottom, every single team and every broadcast, which is very rare to find, especially when there's so many games going on. I feel like are just top notch, every single one.

Yeah, mine is.

I feel like are just top notch, every single one.

And I'm gonna agree with you in that you never really pay attention to good announcing until you hear a lot of bad and because and this is a testament to how good it is. But I like ESPN, what's it called. They've all been no, no, ESPN plus yes where they have everything right. So then anybody get to announce a game. It's like they draw from a hat and if you if you yes, you get to you get to call a game. It's so bad sometimes.

Jalen Rose is Jalen Rose talking about Now I'm going to say it. I'm going to say how he said it, So I'm not saying it wrong, but I'm gonna say how he said it.

That's not good. And trust me, I've messed up every name in the world and tried to do but it's some somebody should have been there for him and been like, hey, you're gonna talk about this guy, you know how to say it right. We did a whole thing today where I couldn't say Bemini or some island, and Kevin's right beside me, going Nope, you're not saying it right. You're not saying it right. You gotta have that, or you're just gonna look like a fool. All right, good, good, good casey.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, I just wish there was a little bit more madness. I just feel like a lot of these lower seeds were like right there to beat a lot of these favorites, and they would always blow it. So I felt like that that buzzer beat of that Maryland hit against Colorado State, that was like the first like actual madness moments and that was late.

I mean, I just wish there was a little bit more madness. I just feel like a lot of these lower seeds were like right there to beat a lot of these favorites, and they would always blow it. So I felt like that that buzzer beat of that Maryland hit against Colorado State, that was like the first like actual madness moments and that was late.

That was like late. Yes, yeah, so.

That was like late. Yes, yeah, so.

Lack of madness, madness. Every once in a while we get a lack of madness. Sometimes we get a lot of madness.

Lack of madness, madness. Every once in a while we get a lack of madness. Sometimes we get a lot of madness.

Yeah, but just watch a little a little bit more mad that.

Yeah, but just watch a little a little bit more mad that.

I watched the Colorado State Maryland game. Yeah, how about that?

I watched the Colorado State Maryland game. Yeah, how about that?

That was awesome?

That was awesome?

Like that's yeah, Yeah, I wish it had been a little deeper. I'm be honest with you. You know, even that madness was kind of like right outside the lane. It's a little madness.

Like that's yeah, Yeah, I wish it had been a little deeper. I'm be honest with you. You know, even that madness was kind of like right outside the lane. It's a little madness.

Yeah, yeah, the three was awesome, Yes, yeah, I mean is this something we're gonna be having to get used to though, Like with the first round, just kind of being like, all right, there may not be a lot of upsets because these teams are so stacked.

Yeah, yeah, the three was awesome, Yes, yeah, I mean is this something we're gonna be having to get used to though, Like with the first round, just kind of being like, all right, there may not be a lot of upsets because these teams are so stacked.

Now I'm gonna say that. This is why I'm gonna say no, the same reason college football is starting to have more parody as well, because these players. You only have so much money to go around for so many players. You're not gonna be able to pay eight players big money. You can pay three, four, maybe five, and then you got some bench six, seven, eight guys that aren't as good. So those other players are going to go to the mid schools. So I think you're going to see that happen where there's going to be an extreme amount of parody in college basketball as well. The difference is though some schools will go way more in on college basketball, Like if they know they can't win a football, sure they'll not put any money football and put it into basketball. But I'm going to say no, I would think if anything will slightly tilt the other way, and then when somebody has a good run, then they This is like a show off. It's like an audition for other teams. If you're like a mid major that makes the tournament and you play, well, that's your audition to go play for all the big boys year.

He's also Major League Baseball. Like he's the guy I think I tell him at the end. Two, there's the great, the living goat right now, who is oh jim NANTZ thank you yes. And then there's Brian. I think Brian's in that tier big fan, even bigger fan afterward. Here he is Brian Anderson. Hey Brian, thanks for the time. I of course have a weird performer question for you. So all right, watched a lot of your games over the weekend. I think I'll watch more Round one than Round two. But that makes sense because there are less games, right you did more Round one games.

Right, yeah?

Right, yeah?

Four and Round one two in Round two. Okay, So are you a little the matt's in your favor?

Four and Round one two in Round two. Okay, So are you a little the matt's in your favor?

Thank you? Thank you? Are you a little horse from the from the six games?

Thank you? Thank you? Are you a little horse from the from the six games?

Yeah, a little bit.

Yeah, a little bit.

It's uh, it's more just the travel and you know, you do all those games, especially the four games in one day, so you're on the air twelve hours. Basically the air is in the balloon. But then you're traveling and you're waking up early and you know there's no sleep and you're bouncing back and forth. So it's more from just not really using the instrument in the last two days. So I finished Saturday, so Sunday Monday, you know, Sunday I didn't really talk much. Then you just got to warm it back up again. So I'm probably not in my best voice today for you, unfortunately. But no we'll breathe it out. We've got some hot tea, we'll get it going.

You are.

You are.

And so here's the question that I have if I'm going to make this about me, but it's really about you. If I have like a TV show coming up, or have to shoot for two or three days, or I have to do, like I did a comedy special, and I the day or two leading up to it, I'm always battling myself with, oh my god, am I getting sick? Even though I'm not getting sick, I'm always like, oh, I started to have these mental like minor mental breaks downs. And I wonder because again, when it comes to if I'm like tearing people guys and women that do what you do, like to me, you're the best. Do you start to do that mentally? Or am I the only extremely neurotic person before performance? It thinks I'm getting sick every single time.

No, we all go through that, and I don't think about it too much until you know somebody. It happens every year everywhere we go. You know, whether I'm going into say the Baseball playoffs, which is a long stretch and you're doing games every day, or the NBA Playoffs when you're going to be traveling and you know for six weeks. Somebody always says, like, what happens if you get sick? And see, that's really not an option. So it's not like you can just call in sick, you know. I mean, it's happened occasionally in our industry. Fortunately, I've only lost my voice once and it was during a allergies and it was it was at a golf tournament.

So it kind of worked out in my favor because I was able to get really quiet like this. So but no, I think you know that that paranoia exists with all of us, you know, But adrenaline.

I said, Hey, trust the adrenaline will be there when that tally light goes on, when that countdown comes in your ear and you're live. It is an amazing thing and then like getting back to more mechanical stuff. Just I read a book thirty years ago. It's it's twelve dollars on Amazon.
