Before March bids us farewell, the guys weigh in on some of the sports madness the month has brought us and we aren't just talking about the NCAA tournament- we get into it all with a lot of

laughs, heated debates and bold takes. From legend rivalries to the back forth of Stephen A and Lebron to social media craziness to Bronny's career to NCAA women's basketball this year vs last- Ryan, Fred, and Channing are breaking down the biggest storylines- unfiltered and without hesitation.

Reacting directly to Lebron's interview on Pat McAfee, Ryan believes the conversation was full of so many nuggets about sports, life and family but Channing says none of that matters to him when considering if Bronny deserves to be in the NBA while Ryan and Fred offer a more measured take. The guys discuss the fallout of how far it's gotten with Stephen A and how the saga is very personal and no longer just about basketball.

As the conversation shifts to Bronny James, LeBron’s parenting, all three guys can relate to wanting to protect your family and also on creating the most opportunity for your children through doors you can help open for them. Channing and Fred discuss what is the best ways to set up your children for success and stability while Ryan says providing an example is the best way to show them the way personally, professionally and respectfully by passing down values and sharing traits to help deal with the pros and cons faced. As parents, how do we phrase therapy, especially for young people, as a positive action vs "something must be wrong"?

Also making headlines is the viral exchange between NFL All Pro Asante Samuel and Deion Sanders- the guys try to make sense of the conversation and why one side would even challenge the other in this skill level debate as Ryan, Channing and Fred are very blunt on their response to the two's war of words.

The fellas dive into the viral phenomenon of Ashton Hall’s morning routine, debating whether

his banana peel and Saratoga water content is motivational or just another influencer trend. Ryan offers up his own experiences of comparing one's everyday grind to someone else’s highlight reel as everyone's struggles and circumstances are different. Fred emphasizes perspective, importance of staying authentic and not allowing the highs of success change the course while Channing says he never will stray from who he is to appease public perception.

And of course, it wouldn’t be March without some hoops talk, the unfortunate outcome for JuJu Watkins to praising Hailey Van Lith's vulnerability to this year's NCAA tournament to Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese forever impacting women's sports but did we take for granted the competition Caitlin and Angel created? Listen to what the guys say as they dive into that and much more.
