I don't think people come and sit through every single session, so people will come to the early session, might leave a little early, go grab dinner. People come to the late session, maybe they leave a little early, grab dinner, but there's so many great places to go around here.

2:06I mean, I think this is the perfect way to be able to come and experience Buffalo. The big time sport event in the arena, walk around the city, grab dinner, have a drink, come downtown, and I really can't imagine a better way to show it. Pete Gowelley promoting the NCAA Tournament, which starts on well tomorrow. One of the play-in games tomorrow night will determine one of the teams that comes here. Howard, throughout the record books, Howard versus Maryland Baltimore County. All right. I say go Howard. Legendary school. In fact, I read in an email the other day that around 50 students from Howard University were in Buffalo last week for Community Service. Bring them back. Let's go. I'm on team Howard. It's University of Maryland Baltimore County. UMBC, if you prefer. I was wondering, it was UMBC or just UMBC. All right. UMBC. That works. UMBC. You can say it that way if you like. That's

3:10more fun. UMBC. And whoever wins comes here. Yes. Okay. The winner of that game advances to play probably Michigan. Yes. Okay. I'm getting a nod. I'm saying yes like I knew that because I saw Zach nod. Zach is my college. My college sports go to him. How can I never find Michigan? Well, some looking right at him. So that helps. Oh, there it is. They're the one in the Midwest. Are you going to do a bracket? Why would I do that? People enjoy things in life sometimes. Yeah. And this is something people enjoy. It also brings, you know, in theory, you closer to your co-workers. You can see how you're doing against them. Talk about whether you had Texas, Tech or Akron, Georgia or St. Louis. That's a Buffalo game. No, no, no, no, no, none of that holds any appeal to me whatsoever. It's not that it's too much work. I mean, you're gonna fit the names

4:11into those little blocks. Just click, just click. Do it online now. Yeah. Yeah. I did mine. Yes, during the Oscars. We are having a company. Oh, we are. Springtime is almost here.

I oversee one of the biggest resource center in Unite Healthcare. I see people walked in in my office every day just like my parents. They have no idea about the healthcare. I feel like they're my uncles, aunties. I treat as people, my family. I'm Brian and I'm committed to care.

6:17I didn't know this involving Rochester. It's emanating from Rochester. Oh, well, I talked to our boss about doing one. And then at this morning, like, oh, all right, let me think about this. I need to come up with rules. I need to decide whether people should have like entries for their kids and dogs, which I hate, but you know, I did one for my kids. All right, you tripled your chances of winning. Great. Doubleed your chances of winning. And then I bought the hook because Rochester's doing it. All right. Well, and they roped us out in a bad way. They included us in. They brought us in. Go to the know. No, I was thinking if I were to do anything, it would be, I haven't gotten an email yet. But if Joe and or Sam is usually Joe's thing, like, if he's got a thing going, oh, yeah, I want to go try to see if I can support that. That's a fun one. They've been, you know, so good. That's one of my two favorite formats for the tournament. See, I don't even know what he's

7:17doing. Joe, yeah, maybe I saw an email I deleted already. It's survivor. I'm all lunatic. Okay. So it's one winner a day. All right. That's it. And you can't pick us a team twice. Is he doing what he usually does with the NFL, which is where there's one that's like, you know, modestly expensive that I'll join and then one for people who just have nothing better to do with their money. Are there other? I think there's two levels, okay? Yeah. All right. And you probably can have multiple entries in Joe's if you want. Yeah. All right. So that's one of my two favorite formats. Let me go find that yet. One winner a day. You can make it. If you make it to the second week, you're doing really well. It seems easy, but you don't want to use up maybe Michigan. Right. The first day playing in Buffalo because then you can't use them again because there are one. Obviously. So that's one of my two favorite. And the other one is similar to that, but it's luck. And that's where bases loaded. You should run this. They might still guess where I heard of it first. I have a friend that runs the same sort of thing now. You get, you could do it by depending

8:22on how many people you have, you can get, give somebody one team on either side or one team in each quadrant. But what I'm doing this year, everybody gets four teams, one team in each quadrant. By the way, hi, those of you who are watching the show and are seeing, seeing me move again. It's very effective communicating. You're doing one in each quadrant. You're enhancing the experience for the people watching on the Twitch, enhancing the experience. I can't wait to go back and see all the rave reviews in the chat. Put it in slow motion. Yeah. He's really doing it. So you get one in each bracket. I can't really not do that now. And they take the point spreads from that morning. Long ago when I was in the one at bases that they used the paper, which probably still would have it. This, my guy this year is using like draft kings. Okay. And if you have the underdog, let's use Michigan again, make things as easy as possible here. You have say Howard loses to Michigan, but covers, then you get Michigan. Oh, right. Okay. So whoever wins by the spread.

9:28Yeah. Advances. I was in this with you at bases loaded a lifetime ago. We, we did this because I remember being into some team that we got gifted that covered and then like suddenly, like Sunday, Oh, I've got this team now. This is my team. Right. We're going to have Sienna, right, which is going to be a big underdog against Duke. We probably can't bet that game because it's a New York team and we're in New York. But if you cover the spread, then you get Duke. I'm not even sure you want to. They just have to cover against everybody. Not just win, but because they'll be favorite in every game. Right. Seems like a lot to ask a team to cover six times in a row as a favorite. Yeah, I guess that's right. Yeah. So give me, you know, the sneaky underdog and we'll see what happens. All right. I'll be sure to tell you who I got. I look forward to it. There's nothing people love more than hearing about other people's basketball. I know. That's true. Isn't it? Or bets in general? I never understood Calcutta. That was always the sexy one with the big money. I was never

10:30in one where you bid on teams. It's usually like groups of people that are throwing thousands of dollars around. I don't think you have to spend that. Yeah. On bidding on teams. And yeah, that seems pretty exciting. I feel like I've made it this far in life not really having any idea what that means in that context or really any context. And I think, I mean, while I hope I live a good long while, I hope between now and the end, I never find out what a Calcutta is because I don't know what I know. I don't know now. I'm like, I don't know what I was going to do for me. There's more. It's going to push something else out probably. And I don't know that I'm ready for that. I don't need that kind of turbulence in my thoughts. No, I guess you don't know. I made this mistake earlier talking to you about what games you can't bet on. Like, oh, three division one teams in New York State, Syracuse, UB and Army. And I don't think any of those teams is in the tournament. I know Syracuse isn't. I know Buffalo isn't. But that's a football

11:35point. I think there are five New York State teams in this tournament. All right. Hofstra, L.I.U. Queens. Queens College. Made it. Queens. Oh, good for them. Is playing Purdue? I wanted to be Queens College. I don't know if that's actually what it is, but Queens is actually North Carolina. Different Queens. Oh, all right. Scratch Queens. Scratch Queens. They're back on the board. Off of that. Now I can bet Queens. Thank you, Zach. Sienna and St. John's. All right. Down years for Niagara and Kineshius. And I guess you be relatively. Yeah, they did not have good seasons. Any of them. I did not keep very specific track, but by ESPN app shows me when they're playing and the records of all these teams were just pretty bad. Men and women both, like at all, it just was a very tough year for local groups, it feels like. Well, Pete there was talking about what a great day Thursday is. And we all know that. I mean, the tournament is one of the top days

12:36on the sports calendar. If you're into it and to go to it in Buffalo, even better, I don't think I would have the energy anymore to do the whole day. The afternoon session and then the evening. And then stay down there and eat four games and then go back for two more. I don't think I would hold up to that. Yeah. It is one of my favorite days of my life, though, doing that in Syracuse, 1991. I think I could tell you all the teams. Carolina, Northeastern, Villanova, Princeton, Mississippi State, UCLA, Penn State, Eastern Michigan. Wow. I can't mean it's not the order. I can't even tell you what teams I saw play in Buffalo, the like one evening session I went to. Pepperdine, I know Indiana. No, Pepperdine, Texas Tech. Pepperdine, beat Indiana. Right. Okay. And Texas Tech, I think also played that same session because or maybe it's another year. I just remember seeing Bob Knight in person. He was coaching Texas Tech then

13:38and remember Pepperdine because they were somebody that had huge hair. Different year. Oh, different year. Okay. Because I've been to more than one of these. You have apparently. Yeah. Pepperdine, beats Bobby Knight's Hoosiers. And then that's his last game. Okay. For Indiana. Van Bredikov. And I see him at Texas Tech after that. He reappeared. Okay. Later. That's right. Thank you. Van Bredikov, beat Indiana. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. The Bonicoach. And Van Bredikov. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. That year Bulldog was the year. I went back and forth from Cleveland to Buffalo Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. That was nuts. Is that that first year is also a year where temples here, I think temple with Cheney is I got to we got to interview Cheney, which was really really you did. Yeah, I did. Yeah. That as we're borrowing. We got Doug Young got us John Cheney. What a voice was incredible. Yeah. What a voice. Super cool. Yep. That that weekend that other one Cleveland Buffalo Cleveland Buffalo first game of the weekend was the Bona Kentucky overtime game that Kentucky won. And that's where I met Sully sitting

14:45in court side at Cleveland for that. I feel like that was 96. No, later later. Sorry. Well, not much later. Bona Kentucky. I had in my head is that year, but I definitely capable of being wrong about it. That's no question. Maybe 2000. I think 2000. I want to say because I went to Detroit for the regionals with Syracuse Syracuse Michigan State and Michigan State was the number one team in the country. And I sat next to Matin Cleve's mother. I was I was the last press person allowed in probably because I was the last seat next to the moms. Right. Good seat. Yeah. But I was like the last one. And Syracuse was up 17 points in last. Yeah. I'm way off on that. I don't know what I have in my head for 96, but I know it's not that 2000 because 95 is the year. Canesius wins and wins like a quarter final in the NIT in the odd to go to the garden for the NIT final four. Okay. And that's 95. So there's no way 96 is right.

15:50It was longer after that. I feel like 2000 is Michigan State here. All right. And there's no way to find out. Selkipachi coming up at five. Paul Hamilton at six might show up in the Bulldog WGR. I'm done carrying around bulky drinks. And I'm definitely done cleaning melted candy out of my pockets. So yeah. I traded them both in for fruity rainbow five hour energy shots. These little guys are as pocket sized as any candy. But instead of a sugar crash, you get a zero sugar caffeine boost. Candy can't even compare at this point.
