• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, the folks, it is Thursday, March nineteenth, the loneliest
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: day of the year for many women married to men
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: like me. Wait, we're not married yet. Welcome to this
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: episode of Amy and TJ folks. And just a slip
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: there of the wedding hasn't happened yet. We're not doing
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a Tom and Zundeia thing.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: No, but we spend more time together. This is an
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: absolute fact than ninety nine point nine percent of married folks.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: You might as well be Oh, yeah, we choose it.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: We choose.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: We're not forced to stay together. You can walk anytime,
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I do, and that's it's not the beauty of it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: But no, I have spent more time with you in
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the last three years than I have with any other
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: living human being.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, if there was ever a time for you to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: choose to walk, I would be okay with now. Because
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: today is the start of March madness. I hope you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: all get the sarcas and we talk to each other
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: like this all the time. Nobody's taking it personally, but
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: today is the start I mean of you have filled
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: out your brackets. Of course you have, because nearly a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: third of the country, by some estimates actually feels out
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: brackets March Madden. It starts into which you say, what
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: rhades just the idea of it. If somebody said to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: your moms, hey, oh wow, the tournament's starting today, your
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: response is wow, damn yeah, damn bro.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Only because I know and look, it's it's something that
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: you're passionate about. And so I have been the last
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: several years. I have watched more matchups, more games and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: gotten into them, like genuinely speaking, when there is a
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: game that has some sort of storyline, and so many
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of them do and you and you are actually a
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: really good partner to watch a game with because you
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: tolerate my just lack of knowledge about either the players
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: or even some high rules of the game. I asked
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of questions, I guess, is my point.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Just like when I'm watching Bridgerton, I go, am I
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: not annoying as hell? When you're trying to watch one
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of your shows, Gilded Age, and I have to ask
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: everything about everybody correct.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So yes, it's in reverse, and you are very patient
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: because it's a fast paced game where if you turn
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: your head away or you start answering my question, you
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: might miss some amazing play, so I get that. So, yes,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you have been good and I have watched a lot. However,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I just know the next couple of weeks it is
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: just like we can't go to the movies, going out
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: to dinner with friends, like I know that all of
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: that is completely non negotiable. So that's why I just
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: go Okay. I mean, I've gotten to a place of acceptance,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: but there was a little bit of a learning curve.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: It's just two weeks Thursday through Sunday. What's the big deal?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: You said? But to your don't you feel though you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: will relate to this? A lot of couples and relationships.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Do you think you're having to tolerate me? Or I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: think I'm annoying you because I'm asking questions? But doesn't
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it feel good to know that your partner, even though
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: they might not be into that show or that game,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: is sitting right there next to you, watching it and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: asking the questions. Means they're actually giving enough of a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: damn and engaged in it. That's certainly how I feel
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: when I'm watching a game with you, and I would hope,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and I think a lot of you might feel that.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Doesn't it feel good to know? Oh, he's actually asking questions.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, because I know how important it is to you
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: this particular game and then this particular time of year
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: where it's basically the Oscars for basketball fans, so to speak. Yes,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I take an interest in it. I take an interest
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: in it because I love you one hundred percent.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: But you also take an interest, and it's fun every
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: single time. It never ever fails. I just give you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a storyline and you're completely into the game. Now you're
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: rooting for that kid on the bench. Now you're rooting
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: for that coach. Now you're rooting for somebody in the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: stance who has a family member down on the floor.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You always get into it, and then you end up
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and it's comical to me. Usually we were at the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: next game the other night. You're pointing out everybody's shoes. Shit,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I never would have looked at before. Oh wow, those
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: are cool kicks. And it becomes a different conversation, and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you point out folks who are on the sidelines who
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: are watching the game court side, like why is she
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: wearing that? And all of a sudden, I miss the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: next two minutes of the game because I'm staring at
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: somebody's at tire it's just how it goes, and you
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: can do that with a friend.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, pro tip here, And I'm not trying to generalize
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: based on gender because I know a lot of women
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: are super into this, so I don't want to be
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: stereotypical here. But for those women who are like me,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: who I guess need to find other things that make
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the game exciting. Yes, there are fun things to do,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: like talking about people's last names or what would be
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a good first name with that last name if people
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: have their last names on their background. Some funds with
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: fun with that. We have fun with. Yes, shoes, hairstyles,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: people in the audience, faces, people are making, the refs
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and the coaches, all of that. I have fun looking
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: at everything going around the game.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: You turn, we play games within the game. I'm actually
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: trying to watch. But it's fine if it means that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: is an easy sacrifice. Can I either be with you
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and a little annoyed or have you just gone for
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the next three weekends. I'll take your company now. A
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: lot of what you said women and you didn't want
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to generalize there, but a lot of ways that some
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: people aren't in the basketball get into this event. At
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: least brackets haven't you every year filled out a bracket.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I haven't filled out a bracket in a very very
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: long time, and I think the reason is you don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: fill out brackets. Now, this is interesting because, look, that
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: has been a way to be invested, because now you've
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: got your rooting for your bracket to go as far
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: as it can, whether money's on the line or just pride.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: It's something that you feel like your gut skin in
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: But I actually appreciate that you don't fill out a
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: bracket because you get less stressed. I know when you
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: were watching the razorbacks. Sometimes I'm amazed you. Actually, I
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: think we figured out you're a highly sensitive person. You
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: get so invested that you have to walk away, like
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you won't even be able to watch the last few
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: minutes sometimes when it's tied and a buzzer beater might
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: end up deciding the game, and I'm always amazed that
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you have to walk away from it. So my point being,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: when you aren't filling up brackets, you aren't as invested.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: That way, you enjoy the game more, which means I
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: enjoy the game one.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: But I hate the idea of rooting for a bracket, right,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: if I filled out a bracket, obviously I would pick
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: every number one seed over a sixteen seed, obviously, because
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: that's gonna help. That's obviously, that's just a no brainer.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: But if I'm watching that game and I filled out
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a bracket and the sixteen seed is close to beating
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the one seed, I would still be stressed rooting for
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the one. If I didn't have a bracket, I would say,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: go you number sixteen seed, and you would be rooting
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: for history or the little guy. Differently, I hate it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I've done it one year in my life and submit
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: it to some whatever office I was working in. I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: hated the tournament because it took away from the beauty
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and rooting for a good story or Cinderella, and all
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I was doing was rooting for my bracket so I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: can possibly make some money. Hated it, so I don't
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: That's really why. And I think that's so interesting and
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to your point, when you fill it out, people try
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: to do the strategy. They look at all of the stats,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: they see what that's fun. Sports insiders are saying. But
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I will tell you the only time I actually remember
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: filling out a bracket, I was working for the Today show.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: We had a fun little behind the scenes thing. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: won the pot, I got the highest points. Guess what
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I did, completely random, just pick teams. I liked the college,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: or I like the town, or I like the university,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: or I knew something about. There was zero sports analysis
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that went into any of my picks, and I came
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: out on this.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: It's usually a safe bet because it made me laugh.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: It's what this tournament is. It just is You're not
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: going to predict some of these upsets. So sixty to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: one hundred million, that's what the NCAA estimates how many
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: folks in this country fill out brackets every year. Sixty
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to one hundred million. Now the sixty four team, This
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: format we've had been around since nineteen eighty five. Question
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to be asked, has there ever been a perfect bracket
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty five?
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Do those numbers for me? How far are we from
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: eight to forty years?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Forty one years?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, forty one years, So in forty one years and
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that many millions of brackets filled out every year? Would
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: your guest I think you know the answer now, But
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: do you think your guest would have been what would
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you have said? That?
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Of course, one has been or help.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: You know, before I knew the answer, which I was
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: shocked by, I would have guessed maybe a handful less
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: than five is what I would have guessed.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: That's fair.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: And again, given the numbers, it seems like maybe some
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: year somebody would have gotten.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: People win the lottery. So you know, that's what I'm thinking.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Those are astronomical odds. So if people can win the lottery,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: why couldn't someone have a perfect bracket.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: It's weird to think how much better your odds are
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: of winning the lottery than they are of getting a
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: perfect bracket in the NC Double A.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: No.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: No one has ever in the history of this tournament
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: filled out a perfect bracket, verifiable. I'm sure somebody in
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: some office somewhere you're talking to your boys and they yeah.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't submit it. I promise I didn't fill it
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: out afterwards.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Whatever bruh never been proven. Has ever ever.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: In the history of this tournament done a verifiable perfect bracket.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: In fact, the best anyone has ever done wasn't that great?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: It's pretty impressive. Forty nine games. That was a guy
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in Ohio back in twenty nineteen. Normally robes most years,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: folks get up to the perfect bracket'll be somewhere thirty.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: They get to mid thirties. If it's a really good year,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: somebody might get to forty perfect games. But what we're
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: talking about is most brackets are shot after the first weekend.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: That's hilarious. Shit. I mean I knew that, I guess,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I just didn't realize that. No one, and this is
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: even with a billion dollars dangling in front of you.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Didn't Warren Buffett begin that in twenty fifteen. Yeah, he
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: offered a billion. That's how sure he was. I will
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: give something hot one billion dollars if they get a
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: perfect bracket.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know a lot about him, but I
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: hear he's good with numbers.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I hear he knows a little bit about making a
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: good bet.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: There's no way in hell anybody is going to ever
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: ever get a perfect Bracley bracket. You will not I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: get a perfect bracket this year, I assure you. And
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the numbers are pretty astronomical to the point of hilarious.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: So what are we talking about?
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Quintillion? You know what that is?
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, And I don't know what that is.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: One in nine quintillion, So I need to add up
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: how many zero, three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen eight, So
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that's a nine with eighteen zeros behind it. If you
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: were to just flip a coin guessing every single game,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you would have a one in nine quintillion chance. Now,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: if you pick on your own, they have a way
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of doing this, but one in one hundred and twenty
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: billion if you picked on your own. Still astronomical. The
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: nine point two quintillion robes they put you see those
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: examples here of how they put it in context. I
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: don't know what that means. But researchers at the University
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of Ohio, I don't know how they excuse me. Hawaii
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: estimated there are only seven point five quintillion grains of
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: sand on planet Earth.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: That's hilarious. One like a tiny grain of sand.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: There's only seven point five quintillion grains of sand. So
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: if I tell you robes go out there and find
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the particular grain of sand that I need, you'd have
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a better chance of doing that than getting a perfect bracket.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: A grain of sand that could exist on one of
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: seven continents anywhere, that's exactly under the sea as well.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Those are your chances. Also, put in context, there are
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: three trillion trees on planet Earth. If I tell you, robes,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: go out there and find this one particular acorn and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: you only get one shot to pluck the right one,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you have a better chance of doing that than getting
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: a perfect bracket.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: So they tried to give context to where this is
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: not ever going to happen. But they also and you
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: hear the numbers every year, just how much just how
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: much productivity, how much money is being lost in offices
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and companies around the country because everybody's watching the tournament.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Well we have that number too. But it's okay, folks.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: It is a national holiday, and this is the one
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: day it's okay to go to your office and tell
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: your boss I did not come here to work. Stay here,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: we continue here on this March madness. This is a
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: national holiday episode of Amy and TJ. Might as well
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: close the post office, might as well close banks, close
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: it all, Close Wall Street. Well, yeah, some people would
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: prefer to close Wall Street given what we're seeing here sometimes,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: but this is a national holiday. March madness is getting underway.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: We see these numbers all the time, brogues. I know
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: in this industry we've been in all our lives. We
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: do this story every year about just how much lost productivity?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Do you notice it throughout your career in offices that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the start of March madness, attention seems to kind of
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: go that direction and there's a loss of productivity.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Would you say.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Yes for sure? Now I would say among And again
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: here I am being stereotypical, but it's been my experience
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: and it's mostly the dudes. A couple of girls. You
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: might have some skin in the game, but it is
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: like I see you know, in fact, we have some
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: alone time to gossip and do girl things. I'll probably
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: get my nails done this week more than I would have,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: maybe get a massage, maybe go out lunch with my girlfriends.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: You're doing today while the tournament started.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Going to my aesthetition to get just some refreshers.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: You're going how long time?
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Come for a couple hours as long as I can
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: take how many? I think I'll be gone for three hours?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: See this, folks, on the day that the tournament is starting,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: What time was your appointment?
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: One?
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Right around tip off?
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I did plan it. I did plan it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: This is real.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: She actually planned this other stuff around the around the tournament,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: even though I was talking to City Swing was walking
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: in school this morning. She always calls and I say, hey,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: swing by after the after school, come by before you
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: go hang out with you friends.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And can I guess what she said? Nah, she gets it,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: got planned.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: She's seen this every year. I have had people do
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I mean welfare checks on me during tournament days. This
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: is this is it. I'm charging iPads. I am getting
• 14:17

  Speaker 2: See, I don't know if I'm gonna make it. I
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: love you Georgia Bulldogs, but I don't know my sleep.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I have prioritized that tool. It depends on when they
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: are their tip off is.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: So if oh it's nine, it's after nine o'clock.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: That's my bedtime.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: So so so you're telling me if Kirby's smart had
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a kickoff time after nine o'clock, you wouldn't watch that.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: I'd watch that.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, Bulldogs disown her. That is ridiculous. They're in the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: n C Double A TI Tournament one and done.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: You know what, but my sleep. Look, I have to
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: say I have made a major effort this past year,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and I really have a boundary and I will It
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: takes a lot. Like Ava has a show, She's got
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: a gig on Monday night at nine pm. I am
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: debating whether or not I'm going.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: To see her performing kids, because.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: It's nine pm that's my cutoff.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Do you want bring the kids into it?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: We'll see. I'll let you know tomorrow. If I stay
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I'm on the fence.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: You should stay out anyway. But yes, how much, just
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: how much productivity is lost? They say, ropes. It is
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: in the billions, and not just low billions. A lot
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: of companies are going to lose a lot of money
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: over the next few weeks.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Really, twelve billion dollars.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: In productivity they estimate.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Really, yeah, this company out of the Challenger Gray and
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: what is it, I don't know, the finance company or whatever,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the company out of Chicago. They do this thing every
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: year where they are able to estimate based on how
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: much much time we're going to spend watching the tournament
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: over the next few weeks, and they say we are
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: on average each of us is going to spend three
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two point five minutes, or that's about
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: six and a half hours over the next three weeks
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: either calling out sick or watching at work being distracted.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: They add all these things up and they say that
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: results in companies losing twelve billion dollars.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Wait, are they averaging six and a half hours basically
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: of calling out or watching games at work per person,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: per employee, per person over the that's actually less than
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I thought over the next couple of weeks. How many
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: hours would you say that you will be watching games
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: over the next.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Couple of weeks, Well, twelve today.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Right, So the six point four hours seems excessively low.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what those really low.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: People like me who like might watch thirty minutes a day, Well, yeah, you.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Check in your any moment you spend filling out a
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: bracket or talking about it or looking at it instead
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: of working during work hours, they calculated that's low.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Six and a half hours is low? Really, I think
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: it's more than that for you. No, well not for me,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: but for you like you are offsetting me in a
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: significant way. I'm just saying I know what I've seen
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: when I was in the office on a day like
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: today and tomorrow. The distraction level is like if you
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, if it was one day, six and a
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: half hours today, I believe for the next couple of weeks,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: you're saying you're only distracted on average six and a
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: half hours during March madness.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: When you added up.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: But most people all going to spend six hours or
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: two hours not doing work.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: But can you give me a number of how many
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: hours you think you will spend watching basketball over the
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: next couple of weeks?
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Twelve today, twelve tomorrow, six on Saturday, six on Sunday.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: So what does that right now?
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: At thirty six, right now, there will.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Be no doubt thirty six hours of me staring at
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a screen through Sunday.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: In just the next four days through.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Sunday, one hundred and fifty.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, if anyone is lonely wants to go
• 18:06
