What's up, guys? Welcome to Right About Now. It's our weekly business news here on Friday, March 21st, 2025. What's up, Chris Hansen?
What's up, Brian Alfred?
Oh, you know, holding it down here in G Vegas, the lovely social house, our co-work space in downtown Greenville. Also the home of our studio. Come see us anytime. Socialhouse.club is the website. And it is where everything's happening. Hey, it's spring to sprung. You got the trail and the river right here, Chris. So excited to be in Greenville. We can't all be in Miami.
Hey, I'll give you credit. You guys got a good thing going up there. I'd like to see some spring flowers myself, but everything is gravy down here. It's beautiful. It's 75 and sunny.
Yes, there we go. We appreciate you for listening wherever you are, whenever you're listening. Hey, it's March Madness, baby. We've got to get mad today. I was like, first I was like, okay, what are we going to talk about today? And sometimes, you know, I think macro and micro, and I'm like, okay, wait a second. It's freaking March Madness week. It's about to get crazy.
We've got to bring the energy and talk about the economic impact of March Madness. Some stats that you won't believe. Maybe a little lack of productivity that goes on with the game watching. We're going to talk some craziness that's happening with Elon Musk and Tesla cars and specific crazy world we live in. And I'm sure if we avoid tariff talk at all, it'll be a miracle.
But hey, we are talking business, so we're going to bring it to you. Chris, are you going to fill out a bracket? Are you going to fill out a bracket?
Well, if you're telling me that I can use maybe some AI to help me, then yeah, then I may fill out a bracket. But I don't think I've ever filled out a bracket, ever.
