They hear from Brewers Opening Day starter Jacob Misiorowski on The Pat McAfee Show discussing his electric arm and triple digit velocity. Brad shares stories from his NFL days including tackling as a punter, then closes with updates from home life including what he is feeding his kids. Homer joins and somehow turns the conversation to Cocoa Pebbles.

Ben admits he couldn’t even bring himself to watch High Point in the Round of 32 after they knocked off Wisconsin, choosing a late night nap instead. The guys revisit a throwback clip from the 2023 NFL Draft where Brad and Strouf wanted Christian Gonzalez and Jaxon Smith-Njigba over Lukas Van Ness, and it sparks a bigger conversation after a Yale study shows Brian Gutekunst’s draft success is not great. Kyle then goes after Ben and Strouf for their terrible NCAA Tournament brackets despite hosting a college basketball podcast together.

With Opening Day approaching, the guys preview the Brewers season and discuss season long bets they like at Potawatomi Sportsbook following last year’s success. Jason Wilde joins to break down the Packers shifting to a 3-4 defense, what it means for current personnel, and other coaching updates. Meanwhile, Kyle claims he found a new talent at the driving range and might be the next Tiger Woods.

Strouf calls the driving range and exposes Kyle for only hitting the ball 65 yards, and Andy in Grafton calls in live to confirm the numbers. The chaos turns into a full blown decathlon challenge between Kyle and Strouf, with KBN Nation helping create the list of events. The guys also touch on the latest Giannis saga, including cryptic movie quotes from the Greek Freak. Bryan Bulaga joins to suggest a decathlon event and explain how a scheme change impacts an NFL locker room.

The Sweet 16 is set, and for Wisconsin fans, it somehow hurts even more.

Alex Strouf and Wisconsin legend Ben Brust react to the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament, why the Badgers’ loss to High Point still stings, and how the Big Ten’s success made it all worse. Iowa and Nebraska are somehow one win away from the Final Four, while Michigan, Purdue, Michigan State, and Illinois are all still alive.

The guys break down the Big Ten’s Sweet 16 teams, revisit the idea that the 6-seed may have been the better path, and reset their thoughts on the tournament heading into Thursday’s regional semifinals.
