The Get Around returns after a three-week break, and there is plenty to talk about!

Aside from giving their thoughts on the end of the winter sports season and the beginning of the springs sports season, conversation runs the gamut from the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments to Brendan recounting his wonderful trip to Mexico where he almost drowned in the Atlantic Ocean.

Plus, the Winter Sports Draft puts a bow on the the last four months of prep action, we talk about the sting of missing some classic games, play a little Family Feud and then wrap the show with what made us happy over the last few weeks.

All of that and more on the 279th episode of the Get Around!

LISTEN NOW!
