Speaker 2 ah

Speaker 1 you feel that warmth guys

Speaker 1 it's nice and toasty in here it is time for our toasted bracket update sponsored by jimmy johns and they're finally here guys and they're hot wow Try the new toasted sandwiches at Jimmy Johns.

Speaker 1 Order one today.

Speaker 1 How warm is it in here? It's a little too warm. I'm in a sweater.
Probably shouldn't have worn a sweater for this toasted segment.

Speaker 3 It is getting a little toasty.

Speaker 1 But I'm excited because I filled out my bracket yesterday. Oh, you did? And I have two one seeds.
Let's go around the room because everyone's afraid of chalk. I got two one seeds in my final four.

Speaker 1 Jeremy, how's your final four looking? I have three one seeds, I believe. I know the

Speaker 1 big upset that I have early, like when you're looking for what's going to change,

Speaker 1 in the, which side of the bracket is this? I'm not entirely sure. Oh, it's the south.

Speaker 1 So Auburn is the one seed in the south, and they've lost three out of their last four games going into March Madness. Creighton is a nine seed, so they would play Auburn in the second round.

Speaker 1 Creighton has a seven foot one center named Ryan Cockbrenner. Love him.

Speaker 1 is a four-time Big East defensive player of the year. I believe Patrick Ewing is the other player to have done that four times.

Speaker 1 So you got a senior seven-foot-one center who can really disrupt things defensively. To me, that's the perfect type of team to look at and go, that can mess with some people.

Speaker 1 So Creighton making a fun little run as a nine-seed is where if you want to get kooky and knock off a one-seed in the second round, that might be the way to do it.

Speaker 3 We're not trying to get kooky. We're getting toasty.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm going to take my sweater out. Jimmy John's cookies are actually really delicious.
I love Jimmy Johnson. Greg, you feeling toasty? I am.
I'm wearing a zip line or whatever you call these.

Speaker 1 Is it a quarter zip? No, it's a zip line shirt. Yeah.
Quarter zip.

Speaker 1 Is this a sweatshirt? I don't even know the words. It's a zip line.
A zip sweater? A zip line? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I haven't filled out a bracket yet. All right.
Thanks for participating. Do you do the play-in games, Greg, when you do?

Speaker 1 You do the first four, or do you start, like your bracket starts with, like, the winners are just plugged in? Yes, I start with when the 64

Speaker 1 begin playing.

Speaker 1 I'm thinking of not filling out a bracket in Memoriam for Miami Hurricanes basketball, which doesn't have either team in the NCAA.

Speaker 1 Jimmy Johns wouldn't love that, but I'm glad that you're taking a stand.

Speaker 1 That's not toasty. I will fill out a bracket.
Okay, good.

Speaker 3 I haven't filled out a men's bracket yet, but I have filled out my women's bracket. It's very chalky, except for UConn upsetting USC in the lower left quadrant.

Speaker 3 But when I fill out my men's bracket, I imagine I'm just going to go straight chalk because because I don't know what I'm doing.

Speaker 1 You can go Jay Williams and have all ones and two seeds in the Elite Eight. Zigak.
Listen to the underdogs. They gave us

Speaker 1 five sleepers that you could pick.

Speaker 3 Pick Wofford in my final four. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But the Terriers? Mm-hmm. Yeah.
You got to take an 11 to beat an eight, right? As we mentioned earlier. Six.
If an 11 played an eight, that would be probably

Speaker 1 later in the round, probably. Super helpful in this segment so far.
I got all the 16s beating all the ones. I don't know if I'm alone on that, but it's just a hunch.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I also have the Dodgers finishing 162-0. Wow.

Speaker 1 I don't know about you guys. I don't think that's true.

Speaker 3 Are you guys big, like, I know you're all college sports fans, but I am a big college sports fan, and I find it really hard to pick teams that I don't like to do well. Right.

Speaker 3 So I kind of sometimes will just make a haters bracket and just root for the downfall of all of my haters. Right.

Speaker 1 Like I had Florida going far and then I was just like, what am I doing? Yeah. Ew, I don't want to get out of here, Florida.

Speaker 3 Oh, USC in my final four.

Speaker 1 I don't want Ethan to be happy. Ethan Bedowski's Gators.
If you were to kind of do like a scale, your sports fandom, like what percentage is love and what percentage is based off of hate?

Speaker 1 That's a good question.

Speaker 3 A lot. I would say the best thing in sports is when your team wins everything.

Speaker 1 Against your friend's team.

Speaker 3 The very close second best thing is when

Speaker 3 Lewis, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 Bringing in a Jimmy Johns thing.

Speaker 3 I wasn't distracting at all that you just carried in a ginormous bag of chicks.

Speaker 1 Wow, look at that. Toast that.
Beautiful.

Speaker 3 The second best thing is when your team doesn't win anything, but the teams you hate are doing worse.

Speaker 1 I think I'm in a position where the teams I love are not succeeding. So right now, my sports fandom is largely driven by hate.
Yeah. Yeah.
And it's great. I love it.

Speaker 3 Who do you hate the most?

Speaker 1 Ooh, wow. That is such a great question.

Speaker 3 Other than all the teams that the people here support, because that's kind of how it works in our office. Like, we all sort of root against

Speaker 1 the coworkers.

Speaker 3 Like, when UCF loses a football game, I get really, really overjoyed. And text me.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a good question.

Speaker 1 Let me think about this one.

Speaker 3 Is it Miami?

Speaker 1 Miami football. Miami hurricanes.
Is it Miami? That's my favorite one. Favorite hurricanes.
Why are we whispering?

Speaker 1 Oh, we don't want Mike to hear us. I feel like I'm toasted enough.
This is good. Yeah.
