    Hey everyone, thanks for tuning into our latest episode! We had a blast discussing a range of topics, from the wild world of boxing to the excitement of college basketball. Here's a quick rundown of what we covered:

    • Boxing Banter: We kicked things off with a tongue-in-cheek prediction about Jake Paul's boxing career, joking about him knocking out Mike Tyson and then potentially facing Rocky Balboa. We dove into the legitimacy of Paul's matches and the boxing federation's decisions, expressing disbelief at the ranking and consideration given to his fights.

    • Mike Tyson Nostalgia: We reminisced about the legend of Mike Tyson, sharing our regrets about not being able to witness his prime years in real-time. We also discussed recent clips of Tyson and the prospect of him stepping back into the ring at his current age.

    • NCAA March Madness: The conversation shifted gears to college basketball, where we shared our picks and predictions for the NCAA March Madness tournament. We debated team strengths, player performances, and the excitement of buzzer-beater bets.

    • Rant of the Week: The episode featured a passionate rant about the recent decision by the labor board in New Hampshire, which determined that Dartmouth basketball players could be considered employees. We discussed the implications of this ruling and the value of being a student-athlete at Ivy League institutions.

    • Gym Etiquette: We wrapped up with a lighter topic, discussing gym etiquette and the frustrations of dealing with people who lack awareness in the gym, from those filming their workouts to the older gym-goers who interrupt your flow.

    Thanks for listening, and don't forget to join our bracket tourney for March Madness! Stay tuned for more rants, laughs, and sports talk in our next episode.

    Does it change per sport? Would you let some people in your NFL Locker Room that you would not let in the NBA?

    Seems there are quite a few people that are easily kicked out.
