Now wait, is this the time where I tell you guys my bracket is perfect so far? This is where you tell me that. No, I, I have a theory on people until McNiece wins here and then I don't give a red theory. I have a theory about people's whack ass brackets. And by the way, who's McNeese playing? Oh, they're 12 seed beating a five. That's the typical upset, right? Yeah. I got to ask you, what do you think this there's two questions at hand because my brain goes a mile a minute or at least I think what's the most frustrating beginning to a sport? Meaning if you're bowling and you have an open frame in the first frame that if you're a pitcher and you get lit up in the first inning and it's like, oh, one run. You gave up two runs in the first inning and yeah, rough start. Or is it like what's happening to Georgia right now? They're in the first half and it's 30 to 10. Gonzaga, like when you just, when you just can't get it going, what's the worst feeling? That's when you wish you had life's reset button. Remember when you have a bad start to a Nintendo game on a Throwback Thursday and you just reach with your big toe to reset it? How about when your favorite NFL team gets scored on and then your defense comes up, you know? You know what I mean? Like, you get blown out in the first quarter, basically when they score quick and you like fumble the kickoff and it's like 14, nothing like that. You're like, it's hard to recover. You see it in fighting a lot. Someone comes out, you know, with a nasty right hook to the head, that dude gets popped. He's never the same throughout the rest of the fight. I got one now. Again, it's sometimes it just unfortunately bad circumstances. You ever see a good fighter gets accidentally headbutted early on in the fight? Or cut and yeah, you're cut. And I'm saying so they're already rattled, they're struggling. Saw the worst cut in boxing history. Oh, that was the Tim Zoo Fendora fight. Yeah. But what I'm saying is that was the Result of a headbutt. So imagine you're a fighter and you're game planning and training for months. And in like the second round, the other guy accidentally headbutt you and you cut your eyebrow and then you're bleeding the rest. Where is life's reset most important in sports, life's reset button. How about when you're in a heated game of mini golf, not real golf, because I'm not there yet in life, but mini golf. And you, you start off with a really bad like five, six. What? This is horrible. No, I think the number one answer for me, I mean, of course. Bowling. Yeah, I was going to say we all have this fantasy that we're going to bowl 300. The other ones are all relatable if you're athlete of a pro level. But I, I think if you're bowling with some friends or you go with the wife of your girlfriend or your kids bowling. If you have like a seven and then you miss the pocket on like on a spare and you're like open frame. Can we starting a game. Bowling frame to start the game. Weeknight. However, as you know, a superstar pitcher when I was like a teenager never played as an adult. I thought you were a belly itcher. But I do remember the feeling of a 1, 2, 3, first inning as a pitcher versus two guys got on base. I let up a run. Like you just. It's just not how you want to start a game. So that's another big one. What's the worst? Cause it looks like Clemson's off to a bad start. It looks like Gonzaga is beating Georgia by 20 in the first. So speaking of brackets, Rich, I know we're not going to have time for it on this show. We will talk about brackets and other conversations to avoid on over promised right after this show on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. But listen, unless your final four is out of it, you're in it. Really in until then because there's upsets in every round. But I did want to bring this up today. Kavina will say that I've been dropping this fun fact all week. Oh, no. The chance of someone having a Perfect bracket is 1 in 9.2 quintillion. Quintillion. Impossible. And that one is Kurt Hennig. One is Mr. Perfect. Mr. Perfect. One in 9.2 quintillion. So just for perspective, I did a little research. I don't mind you dropping that fun fact because every time you've said it, I could drop that cool Mr. Perfect joke. Fourth time you've done it. I've been counting. Yeah. No, it's giving me opportunity to shout out Mr. Perfect four or five times. The late. The late great Curt Hen. One in 9.2 quintillion. I want to just throw some perspective at you guys of other far fetched things. So when your brackets already busted and it's, you know, 208 West Coast Time and you're thinking my bracket. And for the record, we all filled out our bracket. We're just trying to explain that no one wants to hear about yours. Everybody cares about their own. They just don't care about yours. I, I made that point when we walked in. Bri, who's a lovely producer. I love Bri. She's in the editing room. Oh, Briella. Briella. She ripped her pants today. I'm sure she wants me to tell everyone on Fox Sports Radio. Everyone laughs. Wow. I didn't even know that. And I'm here. She ripped her pants. Is that why I saw her running through the parking garage in sweats? No, I swear. Yeah, so Bri ripped her pants. She said she bought us a cute new outfit and it ripped in the crotch. She had to have like Uber go to Target. That's Brie right there. That's Bri. And she had to have sweatpants delivered here so that she could have pants. And I said, you know what? No one would even notice because everyone's so self involved that if you would have turned the corner Bri and someone said, rich, for a million dollars, what is Bri wearing? I would have got it wrong. Also we have staplers and tape. You could just jimmy rig that thing. Give MacGyver that. I wouldn't have noticed. So we're all overstimulated today. We're not even paying attention. Everyone's overstimulated and everyone's only concerned about themselves. Everyone's in their own. Like when you have a big pimple, you can have a big pimple on your nose and you think everyone's looking. No one even notices. However, this bracket thing. 1 in 9.2 quintillion. For perspective, I did a little research. Other things that seem very impossible. What do you think the chances of winning the Powerball are? Not as high as the bracket. 1 in 292 million. Wow. To win the mega millions. 1 in 302 million. To get eaten by a shark in the ocean. One in 265 million. Wow. Really? That's some bad luck to be struck by lightning. One in 16,000. A lot of people get tricked by lightning. Apparently. And to bring it back to sports, to show the perspective of this perfect bracket where you guess all 63 games, right, 1 in 9.2 quintillion to make it into professional sports. Fewer than 2% of D1 collegiate athletes make it into the pros. Less than 2% of Division 1 college athletes go professional. In fact, in the NFL, 1 in 10,000. In Major League Baseball, 1 in 22,000, and in the NBA, 1 in 55,000. Wow. So to put in perspective of the people out there that played sports in high school, college, anything to make the pros is tough enough. You've seen those. You've seen those people do, like, their little demonstrations, like, you know, how many kids play Little League or pony ball? Millions and millions. And then how many of those play junior high, high school, college, minor league, get drafted? Whittles down. Whittles down. So to think how tough it is to get into pro sports to win the lottery to be eaten by a shark. You know, I didn't look this one up, knock on wood. To be in a plane crash. That's why when all these terrible flight things are happening, you still have to remember there's 100,000 flights to take off out of the United states every day. 100,000. You have a better chance to be killed by a meteorite than you do to have a perfect bracket. It's true. So you're telling me there's a chance. So one in 840 million. Well, think. Think about it like this. So to have a meteor hit you, the odds. So when companies are like, hey, we'll give you millions if you get a perfect bracket, they might as well say, we'll give you trillions. Perfect bracket. It's going to give you a quintillion dollars. Elon's promising you a trip to Mars, which we know is not even possible. So, like, maybe it's like if you actually somehow did get a perfect bracket, he's like, okay, we'll figure that out at some point. It's not gonna happen. I was him. You brought it up yesterday. I thought the documentary was fascinating. Do you remember that Pepsi promotion where they collect enough points, those little cutout coupons or a little the barcode UPC thing on a case of Pepsi or Mount Jetliner, you need lighter jet, 60 million points. Yeah, yeah. It was like a fighter, A fighter. But they made it like a joke in the commercial. And people really tried to do it right. There's a documentary did it. And you know what? It's. It just shows you how hard it is. The end. I just want to put a perspective because what do you. What are you gonna do with all that Pepsi and Mountain Dew? Did you watch that documentary? No, but I mean, you have to store all that in, like, a warehouse. Then it goes bad. I did. I forgot how he did it. But they did warm. Now they got a warehouse. He had people to fund him because. Yeah, he had to get investors. You can't just buy millions of cake. I mean, how much millions of cases of Pepsi cost? So this kid did it. You might as well just buy a fighter jet from, like, the Russians or something. I mean, it's much more cost efficient. So just to put a perspective, if your bracket stinks, you're not alone. Everyone's bracket stinks. In fact, what was the luckiest thing that ever happened to you growing up? It's a good question. I never even won a raffle. Never a raffle. Nothing like that. No. Yo, I know you want, like a cakewalk. My kids little league at Ben's Pony ball opening day, we won a $50 gift card to an ice cream shop. That's the luckiest I ever got. Perfect bracket, but this is amazing story in my life. Okay? It's not a perfect bracket, okay? But there has to be. What's right under quintillion? There's probably one in a trillion chances of this happening. One in a bazillion. This is at least one in a bazillion chances. You know those carnival games where there's bottles and you have to throw those little red rings on those bottles? It's very hard. But the little red rings are just the right size to fit on top of those bottles, right? And there's usually basketball, and there's usually. There's usually one, like, golden bottle. I'm glad you said that because there was 500 bottles, okay? One gold bottle. I swear to God this is the truth. And I think it was Six Flags, if I'm not mistaken. I'm at Six Flags. There's one gold bottle. The rest of them are, like, brown, right? And you get those little bucket of red rings. Dude, I did a little flick. Little flickaroo, right? D. It was like. I swear to you, it was like. It was like one of my. My ancestors and an angel from above caught it mid flight and placed it perfectly right on the only golden bottle like Christopher Lloyd and angels in the outfield. That's so weird. I couldn't believe my eyes, dude. It was like blink. I was like, what? Dude? Nobody believed it. And you know what? You know, they advertise like, you could win a tv. They didn't have anything. They didn't have anything because no one wins that. So I'm like, wait, wait. So they. They advertise like, flat screen TV or a mountain bike. And they're probably like, here, here's a Tweety Bird stuff. They're like, dude, just come in the back. We'll discuss this. We'll figure out something for you. There's only 1 out of 500 the chances of winning. I get Scooby Doo. Hell, no. And it's funny you say that, Rich. I actually got a mountain bike out of it. I wanted the tv, but they were like, we give you a mountain bike. And at the time, I was like, I could actually use a mountain. I was in college. I could use a mountain bike. Took the mountain bike. And that's my story. That was. Dude. But that was a one in a trillion chance when I did the math. So, yeah, I was pretty lucky. It's no bracket, dude, but it was pretty dope. I mean, there's some people, you see that on their draft kings or fanduel or whatever. They'll be like, I'm like, one leg away from a, you know, 15 leg parlay. And that itself is one of those. But that's a bet. I'm saying in life, when do you feel like, danny, do you have a moment where you're like, yeah, it was like my luckiest moment as a kid. No, I mean, I was like, I got a job that I was trying really hard for. I was 15 years old at the time, and it was an official, legit FM radio station. So I felt super lucky getting hired after the interview. You know that feeling after an interview where it's the hardest night's sleep? You don't know if you're gonna get a call back. I had to bring a work permit in. I'm thinking there's. The odds are stacked against me. So by far, I was the, like, the little Doogie Howser on the FM rad radio station staff. So that probably was like my luckiest moment as a kid. And we see these half court shots with all that pressure for big bucks. You know what was really lucky? Did you see that Luca shot warming up. Give me a break with that. Yeah. Rich, did you see this? No, I didn't, dude. He's like, in the stands, and he just launches it up from behind the backboard, like, by the tunnel. It goes from behind the backboard. Hierarch. Swish. Nothing but the bottom. I remember when we were kids, it was way crazier than anything you've seen Steph Curry do before. Larry Bird would do that in warmups. And I remember seeing that on like Warner Wolf's show, I gotta say year as a kid. You know, when you think about luck in sports, of course, the Immaculate Reception comes to mind. But I. The Immaculate Reception for me is when that field goal was kicked and there was a dude that jumped out of the stands with such precision. Perfect timing. Oh, Chicago fan. And he caught it midair. People don't, you know, people don't realize that was Isaac Lohenkro. True story. Right, Isaac. You know, the timing involved on that. That's crazy. Isaac Lohan. That was. Security guards were a little touchy with me after that. I remember being like, wait a minute, but one more sports one. And I have. I know, Sam, you have one. And I have a story about Covino that I think was his luckiest moment. But in sports, do you guys Remember when Paul O'Neal bobbled the ball in right field and for some reason he's like, eff it. And he just kicked it with his foot. Yeah. And it. And it like went in line to the cutoff man. It's on his baseball refere, like throws righty, kicks lefty or whatever. Yeah. It was unbelievable. But is that legal? Yeah, it is. Wow. You can't throw your glove at a ball, can you though? I don't think so. Right. What if it lands in the glove? Hold on. Kavino showing me the Lucas shot. Yeah. Watch his shot. Talk about luck. There's like so much luck in that. I mean, obvious skill, but look how ridiculous. Oh, my God. That was in warmups. Yeah. And then he would go on to have what, that huge first quarter. Yeah. This is kind of a precursor. Yeah. So my moment that I think Covino's forgetting was his luckiest moment. And I don't want to be vulgar here on Fox Sports Radio, but don't make me dump you. Oh, does this involve Patriots cheerleaders? Close your ears. All right, Better clean it up. Earmuffs. We were in our 20s. Every good story starts with we were in our 20s. Well, it justifies it. Yeah, justifies it too. Wait, wait, wait. You need one of these sound effects. It was 2000 something. We were at a Super bowl party. And at this super bowl party were the New England Patriots cheerleaders. And you could imagine they were smoking hot. They were one of these girls you could imagine a model, blonde looking cheerleader, probably like the hottest one. She's like, hey, you. She was like teary eyed, like she was sad. She comes up to Covino and she's like, you come with me. I'm like, me. And she brings Covino back to her hotel. I remember waiting in the lobby for two minutes, but apparently her boyfriend had cheated on her. And she's like, I'm going to get revenge. Covino happened to look like her boyfriend. Yeah, yeah. The scoop was I looked, I resembled them. So. And I remember I reap the benefits of this guy being a cheater. I guess she got cheated on by Mario Lopez. I guess. Yeah, probably. And I remember being like, did this just happen? Did he just happen to be a guy that looked like this hot girl? Lucky night. So give me props. Sometimes luck's on your side. Sometimes not so much. Sam, what's your lucky story? So about 13 months ago, this was mid February of last year, Dez Bryant on X shared that he did a 13 leg college basketball parlay and he won $417,000. He had a 13 leg parlay. That's crazy. And he won. I mean, to be a retired football player and to win $417,000, that's like a couple paychecks. Then you're like, okay, that's some good money. You know what the big story in the east coast was? Growing up, if you grew up in the New York, New Jersey area, this was a big headline. I don't know if it made it out here on the West Coast. This is at the height of when Jennifer Lopez is Jenny from the block. JLo. Everyone's like, JLo. JLo. As popular as she is now, the big story was her mother went down to Atlantic City and JLo's mom won the million dollar slot machine. The wheel of fortune. Yeah. And it was like, really? Of all people, JLo's mom, like, as if she needs it. But remember that story? Yeah, of course. It was like Jennifer Lopez, her mom, of all people. So your lucky story. Feel free to share. 87799 on Fox. But you need to be what, one in. I'll say. I'll say it one last time and then I'll retire it until next year. Guys, 1 in 9.2 quintillion. Ridiculously more tricky than winning the Powerball, the mega millions and getting eaten by a shark while being struck by a meteor at the same time. Could happen. You could take the fun out of anything. Definitely could happen. Hey guys, you could do it though, remember? So you're telling me there's a Chance. Hey, I mean, if Harry thought there was a chance. Lloyd. Lloyd Christmas. A guy like you, A skirl. Ghoul like me. Sirl Ghoul. I was way off. Yeah. All right. Thank you. I was. Sam David. If you get that perfect bracket, Fox Sports Radio pays you an IOUs. A briefcase full of IOUs. Maybe occasional $5 bill. This one's as good as money, guys. This one's as good as money. I'd say a ferra. When we first started promoting this, I pictured our boss, Scott Shapiro, sitting down with the lawyer for our network and saying, get 1 million. Can we say 10 million? You could say 500 million. There's not a briefcase with a million. You're going to end up with a mountain bike. You can save $500 million and Colin Cowherd gives you lap dancers. I think there were like, Howie Mandel briefcases on the table. I think the point here. Billion dollars. Not impossible. But it's the closest thing to impossible. It is. It's improbable. No, technically, it's not impossible. Not impossible. But we. Closest thing you could. But we just talked about how you could win the Powerball and get hit by a meteor and still that's better odds while getting eaten by a shark. Ready? Here's a question to move on from what's more likely to happen in our lifetime. Someone just miraculously dumb luck gets a perfect bracket? Never. Or we see aliens. Aliens. Aliens. No doubt. Do you guys remember the movie Hot Tub Time Machine? Yes. Where. Where Rob Cordry bets something because he's like, I know the fast and it changes. But he bets something like dirty or sexual. Do you remember that? At the bar when he's playing pool? Yeah. So, hey, I guess anything could happen. You're right. There's no such thing as impossible. But 1 in 9.2 quintillion. I'll take my chances. All right, we got more. Covino and Rich. We're going to go old school. It's an anniversary of something. Um, we're going to talk some Bronnie. The Angels and Ron Washington have a weird new rule in the clubhouse. And I'm curious what you guys think about it. I have a big take on it all next right here. Fox Sports Radio. Tires matter.

Join me, Tim Harford, for a Cautionary Tales trilogy on the world's most famous magician. It takes a flim flammer to catch a flim flammer. Houdini wanted the world to see reason in an age of spiritualism. He went undercover to seances, exposed fakes and charlatans, and even tried to convince Washington lawmakers to ban mediums for good, a campaign that cost him friends and made him many enemies. They're going to kill me. Listen to Cautionary tales on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Remember back in the day, people Used to like Hulk Hogan. Now everybody's all about John Cena, the greatest heel of all time. I finally watch it. Did anyone else just sk through Monday Night Raw? John Cena's first speech as a bad guy. So good.

Throwing it back to when JLo's mom won millions of dollars on a slot machine. My love, my love don't cost a thing because my mom won all this money. Exactly. And I have money. The story was like, why her mom? They got enough money. Yeah, don't cost a thing. Unless you buy a $60 million house with Ben Flack and get divorced a month later. Talking about crazy luck. You need crazy luck to get a perfect look at Clemson's coming back. Oh, yeah. They got three minutes to point game. Yeah. And by the way, speaking of comeback, while you were watching John Cena, I was watching a new Bert Kreischer special, and it's called Lucky, Lucky. Yes. On Netflix. So whatever you're watching, enjoy it. Enjoy your March Madness. Dipsy Doo Dunkaroo. And a week from today, we'll all be enjoying some baseball. Enjoy. Over. Promise. Right after this show, let's get to the phone calls at 877-99-ON FOX. Then we'll talk some Ron Washington. Nice. What up, Joe in Sacramento. What's up, Joe? Hey, what's going on, guys? What's up, brother? I wanted to share a lucky story with you guys that I experienced back. Way back in the late 90s, mid-90s. Okay. So I was in the sixth grade. There was a soda company, I don't know if you guys remember it, called Surgeon, of course. So they were giving out prizes, you know, under the bottle cap type thing. Well, I found a bottle cap, and I looked at it, and there was a code on it. I got the code. It was for the walkie talkies. So I won two free walkie talkies. I was stoked. But then it got better because I was. I was waiting for him to come. They came. My dad says, let's check out the range. I started walking down the road. He was at the house. Got about a quarter mile down the road, I found a $20 bill. And that's the luckiest this guy's ever got. Finding money's great. You know, finding money in laundry that you forgot about. I found a dollar on a park Bench or on a bus stop bench. And I was like, my lucky day. Had a nickel in my pocket, nickel in my pocket. And I got a dollar. I found a dollar. Thanks for sharing. We appreciate it. Shout out to Rapid Radios too, by the way, speaking of luck. To wrap it up, it all comes down to who's lucky enough to win March Madness. Your bracket. No one's going to be perfect. You feel that way about box pools at the Super Bowl? Like, you could get crappy numbers. I always remember the story my dad loves to tell where he got 8 and 9, and this was the Super Bowl, Danny, where your Raiders ended up beating the Washington Redskins. Terrible numbers. I remember being a little boy, I could hardly understand football. He's like, oh, buddy, Dad's not going to win. These are the worst numbers. These are the waste. And The Raiders won 38 to nine. And eight and nine are not traditionally good numbers for a box pool. So sometimes you get lucky. I always think of this when you go to a stadium. And speaking of Bert Kreischer, see the show all ties together. I saw recently for the hell of it, he just bought everyone in his whole section at a ball game a bunch of 50, 50 raffle tickets. Did you see that? He just bought a ton of them. Do you know anyone that's ever won the 5050 at a stadium? No. I kind of feel like it's a scam, dude. You'll see. You'll be at Dodger Stadium and they'd be like, the 50, 50 raffles up to $90,000. You know, you get half and they give the other half to get charity or something. I've never known one person to be like, yo, guess What? I won 40 grand where I was at the brewers game and I won the 50 50. Never. Never met him ever. Like, do they have to publish a winner ever? They don't show a winner up on the scoreboard or anything at the end of a game. Probably is a scam, Danny. So again, we're Cavino and Rich live from the Tyrack.com studio. Remember CNR?

Now you give me a dilemma. They're both size 11. Oh, boy. I want some Travis Matthews shoes. We'll see who's lucky. I was gonna say maybe I'll spread the wealth. That's cool. You could give them. No, no, I insist. Any. We'll flip a coin for it. They're silver and black. Oh, no way. Really? Yeah. Oh, wow. Some cool stuff at Travis Matthews. So they got really great stuff. Now, before we get into old school when 50 hits, we do it every Thursday. Throwback conversation. Today's like a terrible anniversary of sorts. But we're going to have some fun with it. We'll explain. Got to talk about Ron Washington. What is he, 73? You know what I always think about? How he looks like George Jefferson? No, but close. I think about how long he's been in the game. Right. What a nice guy he is and what a great coach he's been. I've only heard good things about him. No, but don't you remember when some little kid was baby Ron Washington for Halloween? I do and it went viral. And it was one of the best, funniest looking things. It looked like a little baby George Jefferson in a Rangers uniform. He had like the horseshoe. I don't know why I always think of that. It's so funny. And I always feel bad for him because that Rangers team was a strike away from winning the World Series. They went to a couple World Series and just couldn't get the job done. Remember they lost to David Freeze and he's one of those guys you would like to see win eventually, but not at the expense of my team. But you know, Ron Washington's been doing it a long time. You know who never gets blamed. Not that I want to throw him under the bus. Someone fill in the blank for me. I know Isaac's going to have it on the tip of his tongue. Who is the right fielder for the Rangers? Who? If he made a really nice play, it wasn't an easy play by any means, but right fielder for the Rangers, Pete in Cavill. Stop it. Was it Hamilton? No, but that was. It was not a white player. It was a guy in right field who missed that. Misplayed it slightly. But was it Nelson Cruz? Nelson Cruz. Nelson Cruz slightly misplayed a ball a little bit. It would have been a phenomenal play. But if he makes that play, the Rangers win the World Series. And no one. No one ever really blames Nelson Cruz, rightfully. So it would have been a. But it would have been a really, really great catch. Anyway, so. Ron Washington, 73 years old, by the way. So keep in mind, that's my. My dad is 73. Yeah, that. That's perspective because, you know, he's in great shape. He's been doing. He's still doing it. So if you people his age retired, if you're a guy that's, you know, roughly 40, your dad is Ron Washington's age likely, Right? So I bring this up because I'm torn on it. And a lot of times I want to come here with an opinion where I'm like, guys, here's my opinion. You know, it's in. In stone. But I really don't know. I feel like I want to talk it out with you guys. Ron Washington has banned phones in the clubhouse for the Angels. I like it. Now the Angels are a team with terrible luck. Speaking of luck, the Angels are a team that. Do you remember, like, a couple years ago, it was the first time they were in first place at the same time as the Dodgers ever with the. Yeah, the Angels are never good. Oh, two. The rally monkey was like their one moment of glory. Last time they won was when Danny Glover was the manager. Right. You're going to come with us, too. What about bullpen phones? They taking those out, too? So Ron Washington, who. I do love his vibe, saying, no phones in the clubhouse, no cell phones, no smartphones. And you got to ask yourself, a bunch of players in their 20s and 30s, are they going to be like, yo, f this. And he's put Mike Trout and some of the team leaders in charge of how much the fine should be. And it seems like there's people behind it. And I'm like, are they behind it? Because if they weren't, then they look like a bunch of complaining biatches. Or do you think a bunch of young men want a no phone policy? Now, the theory is they don't, but that's not the point. The theory is Ron Washington wants to force his team to talk to each other. Exactly. To bond and communicate. Is this forced? Do you think it's brilliant? Do you think it's ridiculous? I don't know the answer. I. Cause every time I convince myself, like, dude, outdated. Get Ron Washington out of here. This is stupid. I think it's great. Because even if it doesn't work, it's not gonna come back to this being the issue. Right. It's either gonna work and Great. Or it doesn't. And that's not even the reason you thought people didn't want to go to the Yankees because of facial hair. Imagine it's like, yeah, dude, you know, all day when you're in the clubhouse and getting ready, you can't have your phone. Here's what I think. It's a great idea. First of all, it's also a storyline on the White Lotus this season. The White Lotus, Season 3. The whole premise there is they're in Thailand and they're like, all right, give us your phone. So the families could bond together. And Jason, Isaac's character is a businessman who's dealing with some issues and he doesn't want to give up his phone. Right. But the whole point is so that you could bond. That's why you're there, get to know each other, take it back. And I think in this case, you got to think outside the box. And that's what Ron Washington's doing here. He's like, look, I played and lived in an era where this was the way it was and we all bonded as a team. We're better as a result. And if this helps the team, good. But again, if they stink, it's not going to be because of this. So it's a no lose move that he can keep the benefits. But I'm saying you could argue that, you know, this outdated type of thinking would, would upset the young players. So I just saw a study, someone posted about this, like in Australia or Sweden, some country, they did a. All the high schools there, you could not have your phone all day. And they found out that kids were learning better, they had better social skills. They like, there was less anxiety from, like, cyberbullying. Iowa's legislature wants to do this too, where they're going to ban cell phones all day in high school. And it's good. It's been overwhelmingly positive. That's what I'm saying. I'm all for it. So it's like these guys are paid millions. They can go without their phone for however many hours. I'm, I'm all for it in high schools. I'm wondering, will it work in a clubhouse? Think about it. We'll take your feedback next. Let's go to our buddy Ilo for an update. Isaac La Cross. What up, Isaac? Well, a lot going on in the. Hang on. Hey, man, you want to put your phone away? Look at, look at him. Sorry. Look at you. Sorry. Ron, you smart alec. You know the real reason Artie Moreno doesn't want to pay the Wireless bill. That's the real reason. All right, family plan. In the NCAA tournament, the name of the day. McNeese, the 12 seed trying to hold on to a huge upset against five seed Clemson. McNeese led this game 5129 with 741 left to play in the second half. But since then, Clemson has outscored McNeese 3316 to make it a ballgame again. We're now down to 22 seconds left in the second half. McNeese, the 12th seed, holding on to a five point lead over Clemson 6762 again in round one of the NCAA tournament. Right now, eight seed Gonzaga has a 4827 halftime lead over nine seed Georg Zaga jumped out to leads of 13, 0 and 35 and six seed BYU on top of 11 seed Virginia Commonwealth 56, 39, 12 minutes left to play in the second half. Earlier one seed Auburn over 16 seed Alabama State 83 to 63. Auburn actually led this game by just one point with 114 left in the first half. One seed Houston over 16 seed SIU. Edwardsville 7849 seed Creighton knocking off eight seed Louisville 8975 behind 29 points from Jamiah Neal. Three seed Wisconsin getting past 14 seed Montana 8566 and four seed Purdue held off 13 seed High Point 75 to 63. Finally, in major League Baseball, you've heard of them selling at concession stands the ice cream in the miniature batting helmets, right? I feel like that's my favorite part of going to a game. Slider Sundays this season, Steve Covino's New York Yankees will be selling tiramisu in miniature batting helmets made with espresso, mascarpone cream, ladyfinger cookies and cocoa powder. Bon appetit, guys. I feel like you guys here on the west coast don't know as much about the tiramisu. Little Italian dessert, of course. Each one will cost $839. It probably will be like $18. Do you actually know what they call that out in the West Coast? They call it tiramisu. You. Come on, it's litigious. Meet tiramisu. You. Oh, look at the time. One more time. Look at the clock. That's pretty good. You gotta admit. That's good. With that said, we'll go old school next, right here on Cavino and Rich. Hang tight. Great one, Sam. Hey, it's a Martinez.

Like, man, he's not taking this serious. This is a bad look. I remember sitting in the newsroom when we worked over there and it was the day last week when we all got word. Wait, Tom Hanks has Covid? Yeah. Wait, this is getting serious now. Tom Hank. Well, this week, Danny G, you said one of your greatest memories was hearing the news. Right. About when Covid started. It was announced that Tom Brady officially agrees to move on to Tampa bay for a two year deal. 50 million guaranteed. Yeah. Because we were like, is there even going to be an NFL season? Yeah. So, you know, we started hearing all these different random things and could we go back to work? We're washing our hands, singing Happy Birthday. So we want to take back. It wasn't a fun time. It really wasn't. But as we look back five years ago this week, when that happened five years. What are some of your random memories during COVID Could be sports related. Doesn't have to be. It could be sports. It could be just those random things you remember, like going to the supermarket and they would only let certain people in at a time.
