This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human eczema is unpredictable, but you can flare less with epglis, a once monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema after an initial four month or longer dosing phase. About 4 in 10 people taking EBGLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks, and most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.
Pharmaceutical Announcer
EBGLIS Lebrekizumab LBKZ, a 250 milligram per 2 milliliter injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals, or who cannot use topical therapies. EBGLIS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to ebglis. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with ebglis before starting ebglis. Tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection.

Mike
This is a podcast called 25 whistles. Talking basketball. And they all wear a whistle yet stupid. But what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.
Eddie
25 Whistles.
Sophia Bush (Work in Progress Ad)
Hey, O.
Eddie
Hit it, Mike.
Mike
Thank you. Welcome.
Eddie
Some. My throat.
Mike
Yeah, I got some in my throat, too. Like an apple.
Eddie
Hey, turn my mic down. One second. Okay, we're back up.
Kevin
Dang.
Eddie
Eddie and I at the same time,
Mike
started choking at the same time.
Eddie
Wow, a kickboxer. This is from the Daily Star. Is going to be the first ever to pull a car with his testicles. What?
Kevin
Why?
Eddie
You know this? We had on the World's Strongest man on the episode last week.
Mike
Yes, that.
Eddie
I hope people go back and listen to Evan.
Mike
Yeah, dude, that was such a cool conversation.
Eddie
So go back. It's fantastic. This is not starting off right. Lunchbox is talking in the background.
Mike
We're choking. So, by the way, Evan, man, my kids, I told them who I met, and they pulled up videos and watched like they were out of everyone that we've met. Bo Jackson, Emmett Smith, you name it. They were like, this dude is awesome. He lives here in Nashville. Yeah.
Eddie
This guy's name is John Stevenson, a 50 year old kickboxer. He was the first person to ever pull a compact seat. Leon, part of The Volkswagen family. 50 meters with testicles. How do you do that?
Mike
I do it honestly. Like, I can't even.
Eddie
Like, I feel like that would rip them off.
Mike
Is that not the case?
Eddie
So let's say you tie it around it.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
Okay. That already hurts.
Mike
Yep.
Eddie
And then I imagine you're leaning forward and it's pulling it between your legs. You like your butt like that way.
Mike
Oh, you think you're running forward?
Eddie
I don't think you're running. I think you're slowly walking forward and
Mike
then the car's behind you.
Eddie
Yeah. You're like tied to your nuts.
Mike
See, that's funny.
Eddie
You see back up.
Mike
I pictured. Yeah. Tying it up and then going backwards.
Eddie
Mike. Yeah, he's walking backwards. So it's tied up to his junk. There's a picture, and then he walks backwards. But how does it not rip off?
Mike
Oh, I didn't think that was possible.
Eddie
He was doing mangina.
Mike
That's exactly what he was doing. But that's funny. You thought forward.
Eddie
Well, that would be mangina.
Mike
Huh. Because it'd be tugged back. It would definitely be. And that's crazy. Yeah. So he's done it already or he's about to do it.
Eddie
No, he did it.
Mike
Mike's got a picture.
Eddie
He did it.
Mike
Wow. And I guess it's a neutral, right?
Eddie
It has to be, you know that first gear.
Mike
It's a neutral. But that's still. That's still crazy.
Eddie
You know what the move would be if I were gonna do this? I would secretly have somebody in the driver's seat.
Mike
Oh.
Eddie
Driving a little bit on electric. And then drive and like slowly hitting the gas as it's pulling my nuts. But just enough to.
Mike
It doesn't rip them off. Yeah, because this isn't like official, right? This is just.
Eddie
I don't know if there's an official category.
Mike
So you're right. You can definitely rig this. And then everyone's like, cool, man. You pulled the car with his Tesla.
Eddie
I think here there's nobody in it. Yeah, no, he did.
Mike
Yeah, but you could be on the bottom. You'd be hiding.
Eddie
Or it could be one of those cars that drive themselves,
Mike
like the way most.
Eddie
I'm not saying he did that, but I would find a way to not lose my nuts.
Mike
Yes. For sure.
Eddie
Someone's like, you gotta do. Dude, that's crazy. A guy was ordered to pay $8 million in the first streaming fraud case. So basically, he used AI to produce songs and then used AI bots to go and listen to the songs over
Mike
and over, cheating from both top to bottom.
Eddie
Yep. He agreed to repay about 8.1 million that he made.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
And he's gonna face five years in prison. Oh, Hollywood Reporter.
Mike
That's a weird one. What did you do, man?
Eddie
Made songs. Listen to them with bots.
Kevin
Oh.
Mike
What?
Eddie
I watched probably. And I think if I went back, I think I watched every single game. I've never done that in the history of my life. But I've also never been tethered to a room.
Mike
Yeah, you're home, you're not going anywhere.
Eddie
So I'm sure you've heard by now. My wife and I had a baby. And you just. We were home for 13 days and so watched us win the SEC championship, the tournament, which was awesome. And then never left the house. And my wife's been totally cool. She'll watch all the basketball you want like this. You're lucky this happened during March Madness. Yeah, I've watched every game, or at least parts of every single game.
Mike
You're like the guys that get vasectomies so they can stay home and watch all the games.
Eddie
Even then I don't think they watch them all.
Mike
Yeah, you watched every single one. Hey, let me ask you, how hard was it though? And I know you had a kid and you're very proud of it and you're happy and you probably did not go.
Eddie
You're terrible.
Mike
You probably, I mean, right down the road.
Eddie
Yeah. When we won the championship.
Mike
Right down the road.
Eddie
Yeah.
Mike
Because you would be there 100%.
Eddie
Yeah.
Mike
Cheering on your hogs.
Eddie
I just knew, not even to ask because her parents were here at that point too. And I was like, well, maybe I can go.
Mike
What about your father in law? He didn't like nudge you and be like, hey, should we go?
Eddie
If there was going to be nudging, he. I think the nudge would have been, hey, I wouldn't ask if I were smart, man. You literally just had this baby and even though we're here. Yeah, you should probably. So. No, I knew better. But yeah, I, I go to that tournament every year. The one year I don't go, we win the championship. Yeah, crazy. But I'm happy to win. I'm happier to win and not be there.
Mike
How cool was that for you?
Eddie
It was awesome. But all my friends that were there were sending me pictures and I, I was a little jealous not to Be there. But I wasn't so jealous. I didn't go to the negative. Overall, I was still happier. But like Matt still was sending me pictures. Cuz he went, yeah, so I'll be.
Mike
I mean, I thought I was expecting maybe kind of a text to be like, hey, man, I'm not going to use these tickets. You want to go?
Eddie
Oh, I get. Well, I don't have.
Mike
I'm not mad or anything.
Eddie
I don't have like tickets in my hand. My people were coming from the University of Arkansas and they were like, hey, do you want tickets? And I was like, yeah, I need four. I said, but I may not come because we may have the baby. And they were like, cool. And I text them, I said, we don't need the tickets. I never had the tickets. And they never said you have tickets. But I just, I just know.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
That we sit with the team over on that side. And so I didn't go.
Mike
Who took your tickets? Matt?
Eddie
No, there were no.
Mike
I know, but who sat in the seats you were supposed to be?
Eddie
I don't know because I don't know the seats. I think Matt still ended up paying for tickets because he said, hey, I'm going to go to the championship game. I imagine you're not. Which is him asking, hey, sure.
Mike
Can I want to go?
Eddie
Can you go? So, yeah. But my wife filled out a bracket. I didn't fill out a bracket. My wife filled out a bracket.
Mike
Why didn't you fill out a bracket? You just don't do that. Or is this the. You're just too busy because your wife was busy too and she filled out a bracket.
Eddie
I wasn't too busy. I'm just not a big bracket guy.
Mike
Because that's what I thought.
Eddie
You just get lucky and people fill out 10 brackets and brag about the one that they won on.
Mike
That's stupid.
Eddie
I'm not a big bracket guy. I'll do it if it's like a family bracket or a group of us are doing it for fun. But I'm not pursuing a bracket just to hop in. And also we have like our league where we buy teams.
Mike
Calcutta.
Eddie
Yeah. And then we spend money. We. It's like an auction for teams. And the more they win, the more you win. So I'm. I'm totally in.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
On game. And I bet on every game.
Mike
And then you're doing DraftKings. Yeah.
Eddie
But she filled out a bracket last minute, like right before the last game was going to start. She goes, I never did a bracket. I was like, why Would you do a bracket? She goes, I just want to do one.
Mike
And does she watch year round or just Oklahoma?
Eddie
She didn't watch Oklahoma basketball.
Mike
Oh really? So she doesn't know.
Eddie
Okay, but who does? People win that. So they don't. You don't need to know anything.
Mike
Correct.
Eddie
So she fills out the bracket and then she's watching the games with me a bit. She's there but she doesn't pay attention sometimes. There's a baby now, so she's watching him and she'll get mad that somebody's losing and I'm like, why? She's my bracket. I'm like, you don't know who you're
Mike
playing again, I love like you literally
Eddie
created a bracket and jumped in a group of people you don't even know. She's like, yeah, but I need to
Mike
win this thing for like no money.
Eddie
No money, doesn't know the people.
Mike
My kids do the same.
Eddie
She's constantly complaining about her bracket. Are you bracketing?
Mike
Is she doing well? Yeah, I bracket. I, I do a work bracket. I don't know. I got in this.
Eddie
A work bracket. Yeah, they do a bracket. Yeah.
Mike
But it's all I heart. So it's like, you know, is there money involved? Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, there is.
Mike
10 bucks a pop. It's a weird thing though. You can put up. You can do up to 25 brackets, which I'm like, I'm not doing that. I do one bracket.
Eddie
You can do 25 brackets. So that's 250 bucks, right?
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
And then you win a percentage of all the money that goes in.
Mike
Yes, of everyone that's in.
Eddie
Got it.
Mike
But I. So I do that and then I do one with lunchboxes. Family and friends. We've been doing that for years. It's probably a total of 30 people on that one. So it's a pretty good chunk. My son has won that one one year.
Kevin
Really?
Mike
And yeah, and it was like 700. And he was, I think he was 15, 14 at the time. Which to him like now he will always fill out a bracket because of that one time he won. And then we do a family bracket, but it's all the same. I don't do different picks. Like I do one bracket and then I just kind of copy and paste it to everything else.
Eddie
Hey, Kevin.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Can you hear my yard guy?
Kevin
No.
Eddie
Okay, good.
Kevin
Is he there?
Mike
Cuz we do.
Eddie
He's park. I mean, he's. They're. They're mowing right by the building and that's on me because I didn't say anything about it.
Kevin
No, I can't hear anything.
Eddie
Hey, that's great. Let's be quiet and see if Kevin can hear.
Mike
Here we go.
Kevin
Nothing.
Mike
All right, Kevin.
Eddie
Thank you. We'll keep going and not. We'll keep going and not worry about it then.
Kevin
That's a good studio.
Eddie
All right.
Mike
So is. Is Caitlin's bracket, like, still alive and well.
Eddie
I'm disinterested in her bracket. Okay. She's not playing against anybody, and there's no money.
Mike
Right. Which is weird to me.
Eddie
I get. It's fun, but Florida lost. She was like, florida lost. There goes my stupid bracket. I'm like, nobody cares. You're not playing as anybody. You know, there's no money.
Mike
If you would have filled out a bracket, who would have been your champ? Your champ? Arizona, probably in your final Four, dude. Like, can you figure that out?
Eddie
I don't have the bracket up in front of me, but from the. From the east, probably Duke, even though they look like they sucked. Round one, everything's close. Sienna. So I'm just going from memory here. The west, Arizona. I think Florida's in the south. Is that right?
Mike
Believe.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
I would have picked Florida. I picked three. Number one so far there. And then. Who's the other number one? Michigan.
Mike
The other number one is Michigan. Well, they look good.
Eddie
Yeah, I. I don't. Houston. But Houston's in Florida.
Mike
Is Right.
Eddie
Maybe I'd pick Houston in the south.
Mike
Houston was. Is in Florida. Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Mike
Houston.
Eddie
I don't even know who's in the other one.
Mike
So who's in it?
Eddie
Yeah, Michigan. Because it's only him. That's the number one. I can see in my head.
Mike
I picked Michigan to win it all.
Eddie
We had some food delivered to our house. We didn't order it, though.
Mike
Who?
Eddie
Who? Do you see my Instagram. I posted about this.
Mike
Who sent you food?
Eddie
Nobody. It wasn't to us. Had a different name on it. And so I looked at the tag. It was from Taziki's. You familiar with good. Yeah, it's good Greek food, right? Yeah. And so I asked Caitlin, hey, did you order this from Taziki's? She's like, no. And so the name was like. I forget the name. It's on my Instagram. We'll just call her Sue.
Mike
Sure, Sue.
Eddie
And so Sue's phone number was on the receipt. So I called sue and I said, hey, we have your food. Because I hate when my food's dropped off at somebody else's house. And she was like, oh, I was Wondering where it was. And I said, well, I'll bring it to you. Where do you live? And she gave me her address. And it's like four houses down.
Mike
Okay.
Eddie
And I said, I'll. I'll come right over. She goes, we just ordered a second one because they never dropped on the first. You can have it. What do you do in this situation?
Mike
What do you mean? Just do what you did? What, go take it to her?
Eddie
No, no. She then said she doesn't want it because they ordered again.
Mike
Oh, then you eat it.
Eddie
That's what we did.
Mike
Then you eat. You eat the dang thing.
Eddie
Yeah, we ate it. It's pretty good.
Mike
And that's kind of cool. Nice little surprise.
Eddie
Yeah, chips are really good. I'm not sure if they homemake those chips or not, but those chips are pretty good. They were like, it's like a. A fancy Ruffles.
Mike
Oh, boy.
Eddie
Got a free food. People were like, you know, hey, we'll make you some stuff. Food train my dietary restrictions.
Mike
No dairy.
Eddie
They're so strong. I don't. People having to go make a vegan casserole with. So it's like, we're good.
Mike
Well, we would probably buy it. I wouldn't make you a vegan casserole.
Eddie
I know. We just order Uber Eats all the time. We've done a lot of ordering.
Mike
Yeah. I was going to ask you what you're doing about food and all that.
Eddie
We had somebody give us a 200 gift card to UberEats. That was very nice of them that we have used.
Mike
See, this is stupid. I gave you a hundred dollars for
Eddie
like two birthdays ago.
Mike
It doesn't matter. No, no, no, no. And you laughed at me. You were like, this is the dumb. But then you come on here two years later and you say, somebody gave me a great gift.
Eddie
Somebody gave us a great gift because we had a baby.
Mike
I gave you a great gift of $100. Uber Eats gift card.
Eddie
Why?
Mike
Because you love Uber Eats.
Eddie
I know. I don't remember saying it was a bad gift.
Mike
You did. You laughed at me. You're like, would you stop and get this before you got here? I'm like, yeah, but I thought about it.
Eddie
That doesn't sound like me. I remember there being a bit about it, but I don't. I think it was because it was so impersonal. Not that it sucked.
Mike
I think it's very personal. You love Uber Eats.
Eddie
It was like of all people to get you a gift card. Yeah, that's what it was. It wasn't about the 100 dol dollars.
Mike
I love gift cards.
Eddie
Yeah. I feel like you just stopped at Walgreens. You're like, oh, crap. Forgot a gift.
Mike
But I thought I did, but I thought about doing that. I was like, you know what I'm gonna do in. In five days when it's Bobby's birthday, I'm gonna stop at Walgreens and pick up a gift card.
Eddie
Did you walk by the pool coming over here?
Mike
I did. What did you see? It looks sad.
Eddie
Well, it's. It's been filling up with the water hose.
Mike
I see it, but for three days,
Eddie
my water bill is going to be $4,000.
Mike
I saw the water going in it, but it's not even close to being filled up all the way. I would say, like, maybe two feet. Two feet?
Eddie
Yeah, probably two feet. But it's been going since Thursday.
Mike
And that's all you got. So is there still a leak?
Eddie
No. It takes that long?
Mike
No way, dude.
Eddie
It's crazy.
Kevin
What do you fill it with? How do they fill it With a hose?
Eddie
A freaking water hose.
Mike
Isn't that funny? Kevin, don't you think it's some special
Eddie
water I did my whole life? Yeah.
Kevin
I'm just trying to picture. I'm like, no way. You're just sitting there with a hoe. He's just sitting in the bottom of the pool.
Mike
Bobby's not sitting there.
Kevin
I know he's not, but somebody is.
Eddie
I've had to set my alarm to go check it at certain times because they thought maybe last night it'd be getting pretty close. It's not. It's got a whole other day. It's going to be running for five days straight. Why it looks blue and perfect is because how it's treated and the tile, the treat. Yeah, but, like, the water treat, like, I treated. Not like. Treated nice. Like, you've been good water, like, treated with chemicals.
Mike
I knew that.
Kevin
Yes.
Mike
And I have a cousin, he's from south Texas.
Eddie
You've been a good pile of water.
Mike
Be treated well. My. My cousin's from south Texas. Like, you know, he's valid, dude. And we took him to Mexico one time to go fishing, and we went to catch sailfish, and it was in the middle of the Pacific. And he, like, we were out there, and he got a bucket and put the bucket in the water and pulled out. He's like, hey, man, that water's not blue. We were like, what do you think? Do you think the water's blue? He's like, yeah, look at it. It's the Ocean's blue. And so he didn't realize that it's the reflection of the sky and all that. We had to explain it to him, but.
Eddie
Or how it was treated.
Mike
It's treated very well.
Eddie
Hey, I had a first this weekend and I'm not ashamed of it. It's just very uncharacteristic with a little shame. Not a lot. So I'm not fully ashamed. I'm just kind of shame. I was rooting for Texas to beat Gonzaga. Texas at any. Because they're an 11 seed. And Gonzaga, they're such a fraud. They play in a week conference.
Mike
They beat Pepper Dying like four times.
Eddie
They beat San Francisco. Right. So I was rooting hard for Texas to win that game. I hate Texas with every part of me hates Texas. The University of Texas, just because I'm from Arkansas. We were taught to hate Texas. And I texted our buddy Mike signs and I said, I'm rooting for you guys. Like, let's. I didn't do the horns or anything.
Mike
That's too much.
Eddie
But foreign feeling to be rooting for that orange.
Mike
Wow. And yeah.
Eddie
But what a win, Mike. What a win. It was awesome. I mean, I went to the game here. They lost immediately. It was terrible. The sec. Yeah. Tournament game. Yeah.
Mike
Did you get Bobby's seats?
Eddie
No.
Mike
Oh, on our way up there.
Eddie
But no, it was. That sucked. But then seeing them go on this run now is amazing.
Mike
Yeah, man.
Eddie
I mean, people are like just Cinderella, Okay. They're the biggest program. They are them in like, Michigan. They're funded better than any program ever. But they haven't played well. So I was rooting for them. Beacon Zach. I will not root for them against anybody else.
Mike
Now it's done.
Eddie
Yeah.
Mike
You want that? You want the road to stop here?
Eddie
Oh, yeah. Here's the thing.
Mike
Who do they play now?
Eddie
I would. If Arnold saw beats Arizona, I would rather them beat Purdue because then we'll play Texas next. Because that they're in the West.
Kevin
Yeah.
Mike
So selfish.
Eddie
Right? They're in the west, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Mike
Selfishly, you're like, yeah, I'm not sure
Eddie
which game is first because I know we play at 8:30 on Thursday night in Arizona's. Kevin, would you look up that spread? I can't imagine.
Mike
Oh, let me guess it.
Eddie
I'm gonna guess it too. Don't say, yeah, let's say the same.
Mike
Hold on, hold on. I got it.
Eddie
Okay. It's gonna be Arizona favorites.
Mike
Are you gonna do a half?
Eddie
Say the number.
Mike
Are you gonna do a half? Because everything's had A half so far. Do you want five?
Eddie
You want. Okay, whatever number you say. I'll just add a half to it.
Mike
Okay.
Eddie
Is that what. Because.
Mike
So we're just doing the number.
Eddie
Yeah.
Mike
Okay.
Eddie
One, two, three, nine.
Mike
Oh, nine.
Eddie
Okay. What do you guys have?
Kevin
Ready for it?
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
Eight and a half.
Eddie
Oh, Arizona's an eight and a half point favorite.
Mike
Yeah. They're stupid. No, I mean, the odds makers are stupid.
Eddie
I don't know that that's stupid. I.
Mike
That.
Eddie
Man, they're so good.
Mike
I have. I have Arkansas going to the Final Four, so if this happens, dude, I'm in. I have a chance of winning all
Eddie
my brackets if Arkansas goes to the Final Four. That's in Indianapolis. We'll go.
Mike
I don't just say that. You got to get it cleared now.
Eddie
Well,
Mike
hey, these aren't the old days, dude.
Kevin
There's a whole new factor in there,
Eddie
I would say, because it's also around my birthday. I haven't even asked because I would never. I would never ask that because I don't want to jinx it.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
But I would think if they go to the Final Four.
Mike
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Yes. That'd be amazing.
Eddie
I think so.
Kevin
Texas plays first, by the way.
Eddie
You and I would go. Oh, really? Yeah. So it's hard for me to root for Texas then. Hey, whatever happens in that game happens. But, yeah, I rooted for Texas. So. Do you watch any of the flag football?
Mike
No, dude. No. Are they. Are they playing right now? Is it, like, season?
Eddie
Okay, so fanatics? I think so. Yeah. The USA flag football team played two other teams and like, Tom Brady, quarterback for one of the teams. They were like, the Wild. The Wildcats. Hellcats. Wildcats. And then there was another team. The flag football guys dominated. The current. Current NFL guys and former NFL guys. Really? It's not.
Mike
Well, because they're used to playing that game.
Eddie
It's a different game.
Mike
Yes, yes.
Eddie
The way they turn their hips and drop. I am going to admit that I was a little ill educated on the difference because all of us think these flag football guys are going to whoop these. The game's different.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
I don't know that the NFL guys can get in and just win.
Mike
Even how you run, like, with a flag and trying to make people miss
Eddie
the flags, the dips, the drops.
Mike
Completely different.
Eddie
Kevin, do you watch any of it?
Kevin
Yeah, I watched a few of them. I watched the one where Brady and Jalen hurts. They played and, yeah, they scored quick, but then they just got worked.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
Those guys know what they're doing where the NFL guys are kind of like, oh, we running a slant. We get into this yardage and all that.
Eddie
NFL guys were playing by NFL rules, running NFL routes. Flag guys were like, quarterback, throw it back to another guy. Throw it back to another guy. Throw a guy crossing. They know how to, like, as they're running, dip down to get their flags, miss, turn their hips to the side. It's crazy.
Mike
I feel like this is when, like, Conor McGregor fought Floyd Mayweather. And he was. Kept trying to. He kept trying to kick Floyd May, Floyd Mayweather. It's like, dude, it's a boxing match.
Eddie
Yeah. So a little embarrassing. I did see the RG3, though, is going to play with the Olympic team.
Mike
Wow.
Eddie
I don't know how many NFL guys are going to go in and play. I just saw RG3, unless it was a joke, say that he was.
Mike
When's the last time he's thrown a football?
Eddie
Like, I don't know that he'll be the starting quarterback because that guy is good. He's small, but he's good.
Kevin
Yeah, they're really good. And they know what they're doing, so they have this chemistry.
Mike
Is Tom Brady, like, gonna be the A quarterback?
Eddie
No, I think he just got paid a bunch of money.
Mike
Okay.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
He was like, the face of it.
Mike
Got it.
Kevin
He looked. He looked awesome. I know it's flag football, but, man, he came in for like, three plays and he looked really, really good. Better than Jalen Hurts.
Mike
I would think the. The. These quarterbacks, these NFL quarterbacks would just dominate because they're not. They don't have to worry about getting hit. So, like, there's not that worry. So now they can just kind of throw the ball.
Eddie
They can throw. Yes. But the game is so much more than that. Jalen hurts through an interception, but Logan Paul had the glasses on, the meta glasses. And you hear him talking, he's recording it, and he tips. Jalen hurts ball as he's throwing it, and then there's an interception. Yeah. Yeah. Mike, what do you see? Is he RG3 playing? Yeah, looks like he is. I don't. Again, I don't know what position you would think quarterback, but he's not gonna be the starting quarterback. That guy's good. Remember when he's talking all the crap and he was like, the NFL guys, they're not going to take our job. He's right.
Kevin
Yeah, he is right.
Eddie
They may have a couple, like, wide receiver guys that play with them, that are pure athletic, that stretch the field because they probably are a little faster.
Mike
Do you all know his name? Like, I wonder if he'll be like a superstar at some point. No.
Eddie
Even our biggest Olympians don't really turn into superstars.
Mike
Michael.
Eddie
Two or three.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
It's hard to be upset if you're a Bengals fan. Watching Joe Burrow out there playing upset.
Eddie
Interesting if your quarterback was hurt all the time.
Kevin
Yeah, probably he's like doing spin moves on his knees and I'm like, dude, kid, out of here.
Eddie
Probably I'd be a little irritated if you missed the whole season from injury and then you're doing that. But I'm surprised that the.
Mike
The. The owners would let them or like anybody from the organization would let them do that. Yeah.
Eddie
It's not riding a motorcycle, but you're
Mike
playing at a high level competition.
Eddie
Yeah. It's like the World Baseball Classic when they had that and the organizations were calling the countries going, don't pitch this guy again in the middle of the tournament. It's kind of annoying.
Mike
Do you like that? Did you like watching the.
Eddie
I like the passion for it.
Mike
Yeah. So it's crazy seeing these teams and you're just like, well, that's nuts. Like, oh, Italy, who's on that team? And then you're just like, oh, wow, I recognize some of these players. It's almost like the NBA All Star game.
Eddie
Italy was all Americans too, except for like three players.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
I didn't like seeing the US Lose. I don't know if we talked about this because it's been a couple weeks, but I didn't mind seeing Aaron Judge strike out to loot to lose the game. I'm not a Yankee. Yeah. Was it Venezuela that won it?
Mike
They won the whole thing.
Eddie
Yeah. But Venezuela, Dominican Republic, like, those guys play with passion. It was fun to watch. And they had it in Miami, so large Latino population there.
Mike
That's cool.
Eddie
It was almost like Savannah bananas as far as, like, the passion.
Mike
Home field advantage for them.
Kevin
Sounded like a soccer game at the stadium.
Eddie
Yeah, it was.
Mike
That's cool.
Eddie
So that it was fun in that way. I do like to see passion for baseball because that's not the most passionate national sport because it's a very local sport. It's very regional. Vanderbilt almost made that shot, man.
Mike
That went in and then out.
Eddie
That picture of it stopped.
Mike
It was in.
Eddie
The ball was in. There were two of those. The fact that Kentucky made that shot, the.
Mike
The one sentiment. Overtime.
Eddie
The first.
Mike
The first game. Yeah. Yeah. That was crazy. That was crazy because it was just Santa Clara Yeah. Santa Clara was just like, all right, we lost this game. Just chunk it.
Eddie
That was crazy. I couldn't believe it. And I was rooting for Santa Clara. And then.
Mike
Because you don't like Kentucky.
Eddie
Yeah, they're basketball fans. Come at me all the time because I'm an Arkansas guy. Individually, I like all the fans of Kentucky basketball as a person, as a group. Not good for me. They're mean to me because I'm at Arkansas. And Cal came to us. Now we're winning. So they constantly are just chirping me all the time. So that. And then the Vandy. The Vandy. I couldn't believe it was that close. Like he chunked it.
Mike
Is it off the backboard?
Eddie
Yeah. Back ran, back room background out.
Mike
Beautiful. It was beautiful. I think he was even shocked that it didn't go in.
Eddie
Yeah. So he's.
Mike
He's a local boy.
Eddie
Yeah, Brentwood.
Mike
I used to see him at our kids basketball games, Kevin, where we used to coach.
Kevin
Really?
Mike
Yeah, he used to just be walking around with some of the guys around concessions and helping him bring in candies and stuff because. Yeah, that's kind of. That was his, his crew running the mess.
Kevin
Player, right?
Mike
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Okay. He'll. He'll get drafted. Year as a sophomore.
Mike
Tanner.
Eddie
Tanner, yeah. Great hair, great hair. Gray hair, great hair.
Mike
Jealous.
Eddie
Iowa State had that kid that's almost 50% from 3 from all year. He's got the highest percentage.
Mike
Jeez Louise. Ever. How do you even do that?
Eddie
He's popping them last night too.
Mike
And they beat.
Eddie
They beat Kentucky. And that game was closed. Kentucky was winning a little bit. And then once they like locked up on defense, ker do anything. And then Kentucky quit. But he shoots almost 50 from three all season. Number one all time percentage. And I was like, okay. But dude, he was just killing them.
Mike
How many does he take again?
Eddie
I don't know, four or five.
Mike
Well, that's. That's really good. I would expect it to be 10.
Eddie
You know, I just made that number up. But it was you. To be on the list, you had to have like hit a certain amount of shots.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
So you couldn't have a low amount.
Mike
That's pretty amazing.

Avocados from Mexico, always good.
Eddie
We took the break because I had to run up to the house. We have dogs. We have a baby. Hey, big shout out to wives for birthing babies.
Mike
You know, shout out.
Kevin
It's insane, isn't it?
Eddie
Well, it's just I think I always had an unfair expectation of woman births a baby. Then she's the mom, no problem.
Mike
Just like that.
Eddie
Like rub some dirt on it. Like get the raisin, dude. It comes out of them and they're just like. Let me compare it to something. I had ankle surgery. I was out four months.
Mike
That's a good comparison.
Eddie
So, yeah, it takes them. Takes a while for them to bounce back. So yeah, I just, I had to run up to the house real quick and help with some stuff, but yeah. Big shout out to. To moms. Holy crap.
Mike
Isn't it kind of cool, though? Like, everything that you're doing, like, it's. It's not like you bought something and like, all right, you got to look after. It's not even kind of like a dog. This is like, you have to be hyper alert of everything that goes on now.
Eddie
Yeah.
Mike
Everything. And then you guys are like a team, right?
Eddie
Yeah.
Mike
She's like, I need you to do this. And then.
Eddie
Well, that's what I had to do.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
Just now she's hyper alert of everything. I'm hyper alert to her. Yes. And what she needs. And she's hyper alert to everything. If that makes sense.
Mike
It makes perfect sense.
Eddie
So. Yeah. Anyway, back to sports.
Mike
Anyway. Anyway.
Eddie
I can't believe I can't go to the sweet 16. I understand why I can't go, but,
Mike
you know, it's part of growing up.
Eddie
It's part of growing up. I got a text from Brian Anderson. Do you know who Brian Anderson is? You will when I tell him, you
Mike
know, that is Kevin.
Eddie
Yeah.
Mike
Okay.
Kevin
Been on the show.
Eddie
Yes. All right.
Mike
Not Bosworth by any chance, did you
Eddie
see, by the way, as I digress for a second. No, I'm not sure I use that term.
Mike
Right. Digress.
Eddie
I think digress is getting back to. I don't know. I never used that. Right. I don't think I used it there. Right.
Kevin
So I don't know if everyone does.
Eddie
No, it's okay.
Mike
I digress.
Eddie
I digress. Means I get. I'm getting back to it. Right. Not. I'm getting off of it. That I've never. I've never used comfortably, and I wasn't confident, so. Let me shift for a second. Were you listening to any of the games last week when that announcer couldn't talk? He was sick.
Mike
And they had to take basketball.
Eddie
It may have been in the playing games. No. And so it was him and Barkley, but he was losing his voice. It was Brian. So Brian Anderson is the guy. The main guy. Got it.
Mike
He has been on the show.
Eddie
He's also on NBA 2K.
Mike
He's a friend of yours.
Eddie
So. Friends. We never hung out.
Mike
You guys text, though.
Eddie
We do, yeah. And like, Riley Green was up there. He does the play by play for the Brewers. And so Riley Green was up in Milwaukee, and so I kind of introduced them.
Mike
And Riley went.
Eddie
Did batting practice and all that. Right. So I know him. Never hung out, but I know him enough to text. But he text me, he said, hey, I got your hogs And Thursday night in San Jose, he's calling the game. He said he making the trip. I said, I wish we just had a baby so I won't be. How you feeling? And he said, I'm okay. Voice is good. Thank goodness. Still fighting the virus. He said it's the first game. He's missing 23 years. Damn.
Kevin
We talked to him about that, too, didn't we?
Eddie
I don't know. We ain't taking the blame for that jinx, though.
Mike
About what? Not missing.
Kevin
About, like. Yeah, yeah. Just being able to, like, always be on with your voice. Like, taking care of your voice and. Yeah, that's crazy.
Mike
That's such a stressful thing that people don't realize. Like, when that's your job and you're feeling a little scratchy and it could get worse, like, what do you do? I remember Collinsworth had a game where it's like, he sounded so bad that, like, you'd think, like, hey, man, just get a sub. Or, like, just don't do this one because it's so distracting. But you imagine the stress that they're going through.
Eddie
What are you talking about? You imagine. I have it every day.
Mike
I was talking to listeners. No, you weren't.
Eddie
You were talking to me.
Mike
I know. I think I do, too. Not to the level you do.
Eddie
If you have a voice where we
Mike
can do the show, I understand that you can't.
Eddie
We can't do the show if I don't have a voice, Right?
Kevin
Yeah.
Mike
So tell me about the stress.
Eddie
No, you weren't. You weren't. You were talking right to me without even knowing you were.
Mike
Go ahead.
Eddie
It's.
Mike
It sucks.
Eddie
Yeah. And it makes you sleep and you get a virus, and it sucks. So I feel bad for him. Yeah.
Kevin
But, Eddie, don't you feel it a little bit, too sometimes? Like, you feel like you're losing your voice and you're not the. Obviously the head of the show. None of us are, Bobby. But even that little bit, you're like, oh, my gosh, am I going to talk today? I don't know. Can I do my job? It's just crazy.
Mike
Like, I remember one time I was feeling like I was losing my voice a little bit. And it was Sunday, right? And my wife's like, hey, can you call the kids down to dinner? And I'm like, I can't. I can't yell, like. And it's stressful. You're just like, Even something simple as, like, boys come down for dinner, like, you don't even want to do, because I don't want to, you know, let everyone down. My job.
Eddie
Think about that times 1,000.
Mike
I understand. I'm not comparing myself to you because
Eddie
if you lose your voice completely, we can do the show right.
Mike
Still stressful, though. Still stressful.
Eddie
I won't take that away from you.
Mike
Thank you.
Eddie
The St. John's that's a crazy win. White boy layup at the end.
Mike
Yes.
Kevin
Yes.
Eddie
Except his last. He looked Hispanic, though. But his last name was Darling.
Kevin
Yeah, I thought I was. At first, I thought they made that up for the whole sweet 16 thing, but I was like, I guess that's real.
Mike
Yeah, There have been a few guys like that, which is cool. Like. Like, there's a Garcia that was playing
Eddie
for, but Garcia, you know, is a Hispanic dude.
Mike
He's a black dude.
Eddie
No way.
Mike
Yep.
Eddie
Yep.
Mike
And I was like, that's so cool. Wow. That's so cool. They're like, garcia for the three. And I'm like, oh, cool. Let me see the Mexican dude.
Eddie
Nope.
Mike
Forgot what team that was.
Eddie
Yeah. That St. John's win was cool.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
And to see Patino not react out of respect for Self. Kansas, like, they go down, he hits the layup. There's like, point two games over, and Patino just walks over, and it's like, hey, man, great game. It was all out of respect for Bill Self in Kansas because I'd have been jumping around, I'd have been humping the air. I had no respect.
Mike
Patina's been there before, though. Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah. So St. John was pretty crazy.
Mike
So Bill Self, what's. What do you think's gonna happen with him? Is it. Is it the four years that they have?
Eddie
Sweet 16?
Mike
No sweet 16.
Eddie
So the. The kid they have that's going to be the number one overall pick did not, I won't say live up to the expectation. He just didn't want to play, I guess. The expectation. And again, this is from an outsider looking at Kansas from afar. He didn't give them what they thought they were getting. He. At times, you would see him check himself out of the game or that. Kevin, you ever see that clip where he's like, I'm out.
Kevin
Yeah. He's standing next to Self on the court, though. Right. And he's like, get me out of here kind of thing.
Eddie
Yeah. So I don't think they got from Peterson what they thought they were going to get from Peterson, and they invested a lot of nil money in him. He'll probably still go number one in the draft. I imagine he will. Boozer probably go second I think nil has allowed teams to be very competitive with the blue bloods because it's not just about going to a school now that can turn you into a pro. It's also about, yeah, you want to go to school, they turn you into pro, but can they also pay you millions of dollars if you make a bad investment and you only have so many millions and it's going to somebody who doesn't give it to you? I, I just. It limits like these blue blood teams in football. We saw it too, with depth like reason Georgia and Alabama aren't winning it every year now. One, everybody gets to legally pay now instead of how illegally those teams were paying players and they had massive depth. They don't anymore because somebody being second string at Georgia is not going to. They're going to go to Arkansas and be first string. I think Self has to get it right. As far as I've seen so far, UNC is not fire Davis. Hubert Davis is their coach. I think they're going to let me look that up as of right now. Kevin, can you hear the yard guys now?
Kevin
Now I can hear you.
Mike
It's getting way louder.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I do expect them to fire Hubert Davis. I don't expect Kansas to fire Self. I'm not a college basketball expert, but I think he'll get at least another year. I think even in Kentucky, I think. I think he gets one more year at Kentucky as well. They spent like 22 million bucks on their team and they were, they were terrible.
Mike
That hurts.
Eddie
And the thing about Mark Pope at Kentucky is that he may be fired. Except he was a player. He played for Patino. He is Kentucky. I think he won a national championship with them. I would need to look that up. Former captain of Kentucky's 1996 national championship team. Yep. So Pope will get another year. But the blue bloods, they're not as constantly dominant if they're not using their money wisely. And you, you saw that with Kentucky. Yeah, you see that, saw that with Kansas. Like, they spent money on players, didn't even play a whole bunch. So I don't expect Self to get fired. I think if it happens again, he. Self won't be there if they have another bad run. Same with Kentucky.
Mike
You also think that this nil stuff is hurting Cinderella teams in. In March Madness?
Eddie
Yeah, sure.
Mike
Like, yeah, I don't see it as too much of a bad thing. Like, I don't look at this and be like, oh, gosh, this is terrible. There aren't Cinderellas or there aren't a bunch of surprises.
Eddie
There weren't last year either.
Mike
There weren't. And so I think it's fine. Right. But it's definitely making a big difference on how we even look at March Madness.
Eddie
Well, anybody good on any of these mid majors immediately takes money and goes to a bigger team. Yeah, but that happens now. These kids now on these mid majors, High point. Any of these teams, they're just using this now as an exhibition to be seen by. Obviously, they want to win.
Mike
Yes.
Eddie
But it's like this is how you might get discovered by a Power 4 team and. And move up.
Mike
Yeah. How you play in this tournament.
Eddie
Coaches, too. Yeah, coach. Yeah, coach. That's always been the thing with coaches, though, because coaches could leave without any sort of rules and regulations. But, yes, I do think that. Yeah, that's happening because kids aren't staying at those mid majors. If they're good, they move up.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
Because of nil. So all the schools have all the good players. All the big schools have all the good players.
Mike
Makes it a little easier to pick brackets.
Eddie
Yeah. Unless you're like me and you pick Florida.
Mike
Hey, why. Why didn't Kevin do Calcutta? Is he scared?
Kevin
No, I've never done it.
Mike
It's kind of fun. Kevin and I was. And Bobby was making fun of me because, you know, I was saying, like, I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it because we're coming off the terrible win of whatever, the skin stuff for the NFL. But, man, who'd you buy? I bought Illinois. Illinois is my big one.
Eddie
Dude. They're good.
Mike
I know. They're really.
Eddie
And they have both. They have Big Z and his brother. Big Z played at Kentucky, then Arkansas. Yes, but they have both of those. The twins.
Mike
What's his last name? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're really good. And I'm happy with that. I kind of took a little flyer on Clemson. I thought they would make a little run. They didn't.
Eddie
You didn't pay much for it, though, did you?
Mike
I think I paid like $30. And then my other team was TCU, man, I thought they were going to beat Duke. That would have been really cool.
Kevin
Oh, in the first round?
Mike
Yeah.
Kevin
No, second round. Second round.
Eddie
Sienna almost beat, dude. Yeah, well, they were close. Yeah, but.
Mike
But the game. For the whole game, they were pretty close.
Eddie
I think I talked about that because I did an episode. What you talk about Friday without you guys? We did. We do some of it.
Mike
I heard people loved it.
Eddie
Yeah. It was better than the Highest streamed episode ever by myself.
Mike
Yeah, they said it was better than when we all talk.
Kevin
Yeah, we can just leave. Eddie, you want to leave?
Eddie
I did say, because I had to walk up to my house a minute ago when we took the break. I said, hey, Eddie, you and Kevin can just keep going and just talk about what we're gonna talk about. He's like, no, no, no, we're good.
Kevin
I was like, no time, huh?
Eddie
What'd you say?
Kevin
He wasted no time.
Eddie
Yeah. He was like, no, no, no, man. No, no, no, man.
Mike
We're good. What would you say, Kevin?
Kevin
No. I'm like, yeah, sure, let's do it.
Mike
So shut up. No, you.
Kevin
You didn't even ask. Kevin, you want to do it? Like, just us, too? You were just, like, immediately to Bobby, no, no. Hurry back. Hurry back, hurry back.
Mike
I didn't say hurry back.
Eddie
He didn't say hurry back.
Kevin
Sorry, sorry, sorry. No, just kidding. No, but you immediately were like, no, no. You're good.
Mike
Yeah, I didn't want to make you feel like we want to do the show without you.
Eddie
No, I was good. I was like, hey, you guys can keep going if you want. Every March, the tournament delivers the unexpected.

Eczema is unpredictable, but you can flare less with epglis, a once monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema after an initial four month or longer dosing phase. About 4 in 10 people taking EBGLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks, and most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.
Pharmaceutical Announcer
Hemclus Lebricizumab LBKZ, a 250 milligram per 2 milliliter injection, is a prescribed prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies. EBGLIS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you are allergic to ebglis. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with ebglis. Before starting ebglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection.
Bobby Bones
Ask your doctor about evglis and visit evgliss.lilly.com or call 1-800-lilyrx or 1-800-545-5979.

Avocados from Mexico.
Eddie
Always good. Eddie thinks the tournament may be rigged.
Mike
Oh, so rigged. And let me tell you why. So before the tournament started, they were running these promos on I guess T, TruTV, TBS, whatever all those networks are. And they started showing like highlight reels. They showed highlights of boozer brothers, Duke, obviously, Arizona, Houston, Florida, Michigan, Arkansas was even in there. Big teams, UConn. And then at the very end, the last play was a Texas player and they hadn't even done the play in games yet. And I'm like, hold on, why would they throw Texas in there? They're not. Are they even going to make the tournament? They have no idea. That's why I think it's rigged. Why would they put Texas in that promo, Mike?
Eddie
Big school, big fan base, guys. They're not recognized the brand.
Mike
I could pick 10 other teams to pick on them. Where you have a better chance of them going further in the tournament than Texas.
Eddie
I don't have an answer for You. So what do you. What are you.
Mike
It's predicted. Predicted. It's gonna sound like those guys on Tick Tock. It's scripted. It just felt weird. Like, I. I'm not kidding. I told my oldest son. We were watching together. I'm like, that's weird. They threw Texas in there. Oh, you called it out before it even happened.
Eddie
Yeah.
Mike
And then once the game started, the Texas wins round one. Okay. Interesting. Texas wins the second one. Okay, this is starting to feel a little scripted.
Eddie
Did you bet on it, though? Because since you knew.
Mike
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I couldn't bet on Texas. Although I've made some pretty good money on March Mattis, which is crazy.
Eddie
We can always check your stats, so don't.
Mike
I'm not.
Eddie
I sent my stats over to you guys.
Mike
I'm not gonna lie about what I've made. I've hit parlays on dude this month, okay? I've hit parlays on. On favorites.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Mike
Like, all the favorites of round one. You know, like, the heavy favorites. And I won pretty good money. Just to win or the spread just to win.
Kevin
Just to win. Right?
Mike
You have to get, like, 10 teams.
Eddie
But night two, there weren't really any upsets.
Mike
Nope.
Eddie
I've won. I've won like, a thousand bucks. I'm up, like, a thousand bucks.
Mike
That's so good.
Eddie
And I sent you guys my stats because I knew if I said it, but you guys don't even think I'm lying because I tell you I lose. When I lose, I tell you I lose. Oh, you look about even, huh?
Mike
Telling you, man, that.
Eddie
And that's, you know, I said you're up $9. No. 10.24.
Mike
$10.
Kevin
No.
Eddie
I'm winning, baby. That's true. You are.
Mike
Wow. And when did I send you my other one? Was that two days ago?
Eddie
A couple days ago. Yeah.
Mike
That's how. That's how much?
Eddie
Because you were down just a little then. I was 100 bucks.
Mike
Like, 150 bucks.
Eddie
Nice job.
Mike
Yeah, dude, I've been. And what's cool is I've been cashing out. I don't cash out normally. I'm starting to cash out a little bit. Like $50 here, $50 there. I might even pull a read and just tell them to cancel my account.
Eddie
Good for you. He calls him.
Mike
Hey, will you lock what you did
Eddie
to read for us? How was the AAU tournament?
Mike
Dude, I'm telling you, if there is something I want to do a documentary on, It's AAU tournaments. The kids no, the parents, dude. So I witnessed two fights. So one of them was crazy. Like, first off, these parents go nuts. These are travel parents. They come from all over the country thinking their kids are going to be NBA stars. And they're investing their time and money in these kids. And so they're all in, they're fight. They're yelling at refs, they're yelling at their kids. The coaches are cursing at the kids.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Mike
Oh, dude, it's, it's intense.
Eddie
Like how old?
Mike
The ones I saw, I think the oldest I saw was, was sixth graders.
Eddie
Oh, not ninth and tenth? No.
Mike
And I, I even saw, I even saw six year old team and the, the, they were saying like what the beep are you doing? Really sit your A down. Like that kind of conversation, that kind of talking to the kids. Anyway, the. I digress, I digress. We'll do one of the games. One of the games. This is crazy. So our team's about to shoot free throws and our kid gets ready at the line. He looks at the back, he looks at the rim, gets ready to shoot. And somebody whistles in the middle of the shot, like right as he's taking the shot. And we all look around like, what is that? Like who do that? And so the kid gets up for the second shot, whistles again. The kid flips off the man doing it, okay. Shoots him, the bird. And the man stands up. The dude looks like he just got out of prison. Like he's bald, tattoos all over his head, he's got a, like a towel hanging from the back of his pants, you know, like, and, and he's probably in his 60s. And he gets up wanting to fight the kid. Like, did you flip me off? Parents, coaches start rushing the court.
Eddie
This is the game you're at.
Mike
This is the game I'm at. And my son's on my court.
Eddie
You saw on TikTok.
Bowen Yang
No.
Mike
And my son is on the court and I'm like, what is happening? And then parents are yelling. They sort. Dude, they start arguing for about a total of like two minutes and finally gets sorted out. It, it had the vibe like someone had a gun. Kids were running to the benches, parents were grabbing their kids. It was crazy. Your game at our, our game. That was incident one. Oh. What's funny about that though is at the end of the game, the guy came up to the kid and apologized. He was like, he was like, hey man, that's on me. My bad. And the kids like, okay, man, whatever. So that was crazy. And then the second one, I Saw was a fight between two kids on the court. Like, so one of them grabbed the hair. They were, like, boxing. Boxing each other out, right? And then it just got physical. And then one of them just, like, grabbed the other one's hair and just started yanking him down the court. Then the parents got involved, and the. It's like the mom of one kid started yelling at the mom of another kid, dude.
Eddie
So then they're gonna fight.
Mike
So then they're fighting and then. And then coaches and then cops, and everyone's on the court having to sort it all out. I just don't understand why this happens. Like, it's not that serious.
Eddie
Except it is to those people.
Mike
It is so serious.
Eddie
Yeah. They base their life on that.
Mike
Yeah. And I get it. They've invested a lot of money, but. And they're driving a long way. They're. They're taking their whole weekend to do this thing. But, man, like, I just don't think it's ever worth all that stuff that I see happening at those. At those tournaments.
Eddie
That's crazy.
Mike
And it also makes me feel like my kids are not good at basketball
Eddie
because, you see, other kids really are.
Mike
They are so good. Everyone is so, so freaking good. Little ones, like five year olds, like, doing crossovers between your legs, behind their backs, going like. Like easy layups. It's just crazy. I feel like I'm watching the next LeBron coming up.
Eddie
We're gonna have to. Mike, where are we on total time on this show? About 45. We're gonna have to cut because we got yard. This is yard, man. Interference. Yeah, yard. Guys just, like, circling the house now on purpose.
Mike
He's looking through the window.
Eddie

This lively episode of 25 Whistles dives into the chaos and joy of March Madness, the life changes Bobby is navigating as a new dad, the rowdy world of AAU youth basketball, and a critical look at how NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) is changing college sports and the era of March Madness “Cinderellas.” The guys trade March brackets, gamble tales, and sports parenting horror stories, with as much humor as analysis.
“I think if I went back, I think I watched every single game. I've never done that in the history of my life. But I've also never been tethered to a room.”
— Eddie
“So Sue's phone number was on the receipt. So I called Sue and I said, hey, we have your food… She goes, we just ordered a second one because they never dropped on the first. You can have it.”
— Eddie
“I was rooting for Texas to beat Gonzaga… Every part of me hates Texas. The University of Texas, just because I'm from Arkansas.”
— Bobby
“Anybody good on any of these mid-majors immediately takes money and goes to a bigger team… These kids now are just using this as an exhibition to be seen.”
— Eddie
“If there is something I want to do a documentary on, It’s AAU tournaments. The kids? No, the parents, dude.”

“It had the vibe like someone had a gun. Kids were running to the benches, parents grabbing their kids. It was crazy. Your game. Our game. That was incident one.”
