Banterwealth dot com. Get on a free Q and A
no obligation doing vest Q and A with our tax
smart wealth advisors. I actually recently met with Blaine Ederson,
my wealth management advisor, my tax smart planning advisor, and
he mentioned, ley, if you made a little bit extra money,
you should probably go and test drive a six thousand
pound vehicle. Best place to go and test drive a
vehicle right now is BMW in Pleasure Grove. Why if
you're not driving a BMW right now, you get a
free detail on your current vehicle front to back, inside
and out. That's a two hundred and fifty dollars value.
To discuss it. I got Joe Costello on the line

Speaker 5: Been credital In, his team of former players and insiders,
gives you the latest stats, data and analytics that are
trending in the world of Cougar sports.
Speaker 1: Stats Welcome back Ruger Sports one of three nine nine
eighty points free guess me and the fan I've been
for the broadcasting Glomar Vanderwelth studio of Betterwealth dot Com.
Get on a free Q and a no op the
Gatson doing best Q and A with our tech smart
wealth advisors. Want to talk stats in this segment. One
of the key stats of the day for me is
over the last two years.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: I put this out there and kind of went viral.
A lot of college football fans Utah fans are chiming
in on it. Since last season, be what you remember
went eleven and two last year. Now they're nine and one.
BYU is twenty and three during that time. That's the
best record in the Big twelve by like three games.
The second best record over that same span is Texas Tech.
Texas Tech has the second best record. I think they
have six laws. Who's in that spam? What have you
done for me lately? BYU has done a lot for
you lately And I quoted and I said, but they
don't win by a large enough margin. A lot of
haters out there finding the tweet and hating on the tweet.
Texas Tech's eighteen and six, aargoning to say eighteen and six,
I was stayed at seventeen and seven to talk about
some stats today. Listen, Welcome in Blaine Anderson of Banterwell
banterwell dot com. Blaine, how are you?
Speaker 3: I'm doing great?
Speaker 2: That's an impressive stat, man, I sure like it.
Speaker 1: It's a great stat phenomenal sat And Look, there's a
lot of haters out there that just hate on them
Kougs whenever they're winning, and they're gonna say, well, BYU
didn't didn't compete well enough versus Texas Tech. That's why
they deserve to be on the outside looking in. They
don't win by a big enough margin, That's why they
deserve to be on the outside looking in. A win
is a win is a win last time I checked, right, Blaine.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I can't even imagine why some people put you.
Speaker 3: I saw ahead of BYU.
Speaker 2: With some of these probabilities for the playoffs. It blows
my mind. We beat them straight up. I don't know
what else you can say?
Speaker 1: What else can you do? Right now? Blaine, we're getting
towards the end of the year and we got to
save money on our taxes. You and I have discussed
this before. There's lots of different ways as a playbook
on how to save money on your taxes. Tell us
a little bit about the tax Smart playbook that we've
been hearing from even a basketball players, current BOE basketball
players talking about it.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, this is a complementary guide that we provide to investors.
It's a playbook of things that we do all throughout
the year, but the idea is to incorporate your tax
and investment planning. This will help investors to understand how
to manage their wealth the tax smart way, connecting investments, income,
retirement planning, and a long term strategy under one coordinated approach.
So it's a playbook that we make available to those
that visit our website at Vanderwelt dot com and get
a look underneath the hoods side access of what the
band orwealth tax Mart playbook looks like.
Speaker 1: Taxmart Playbook. Lots of pages in that playbook that you
can lean into and help you save money on the tech,
especially if you're a credit investor. We have a lot
of a credit investors that tune into our show Blame.
They've called you a number of times. What are some
of the questions that they ask you about.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's very true. There are there's a number of
business owners, professionals, retirees who want to build and protect
wealth more efficiently, and so we have we've received the
number of calls about tax efficient income strategies or distribution
strategies or even the timing of withdrawals, and these are
a big part of an overall wealth management strategy. So
certainly the investments are important, and we use a number
of tax efficient or tax advantaged investments that include hard assets,
but we also use tax advantaged vehicles, and so for
business owners it's important to know am I utilizing the
vehicle that allows me the most tax efficiency through my portfolio.
Many of the listeners have asked about ten thirty one
exchanges or when selling a business, some of the strategies
that are available to them, and as an entrepreneur and
business owner myself, these are all things that we're very
comfortable with. It's part of my continuing education as a
certified financial planner, and so this is all part of
that playbook. But also just having some custom one on
one strategies or things that we've done often with many
clients and those that are looking for outside options. It's
been a pleasure and a delight, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Love that Blane. You release a new income note, I
think about every month or so, are you doing it
this month? Tell us a little bit about the income note?
Speaker 2: Yes, So for our November edition, this is one of
those things that helps set vand or apart. And it's
for those investors that feel like the market's high and
they would like a little bit of downside protection but
still want some opportunity, especially opportunity for income. So our
custom income note for the month of November includes a
fifteen month term. That's how long the duration is. And
then it's got some downside barriers, one of them thirty percent,
and that means the underlying securities can be down in
their value. This month, we're tracking Apple, Google, and Oracle,
three top holdings on the S and P five hundred,
and as long as they stay within a thirty percent barrier,
we receive a monthly income payment. When annualized, that payment
can be up to twenty two percent for the year.
So it gives us good opportunity. And then when it
comes to protecting the principle, we actually have a fifty
five zero downside protection and so these, of course should
be evaluated as part of an overall strategy, and it's
important to understand the ins and outs of it. But
the thing we like is we've got some downside protection
thirty percent and fifty percent and an opportunity to earn
as much as twenty two percent as part of a
monthly income plan. And so this is a band or
custom income note. It's the one that we issuing for
the month of November, and it certainly is something that's
utilized often by many of our investors and many listeners
of the show.
Speaker 1: Awesome. Okay, I'm gonna give you a couple of one
last question as it pertains to BYU football. Right now,
by is eleventh in the College Football Playoff. A little
stat of the day, if you will. There's a few
teams in front of them. I call my Tier one
direct rivals for the College Football Playoff at large spot
for BYU right now, Oklahoma's at number eight. They're eight
and two. They have a remaining schedule of number twenty
two Miszoo at home and then they take on LSU
at home. Two good SEC teams Notre Dames eight and two. Okay,
they have Syracuse and Stamford. They're Syracuse at home Stamford away.
If any one of these teams loses, by the way,
they're out of the top ten, and BYU gets inserted. Right.
If they continue to win, they beat since C and
they beat UCM. Alabama is eight and two. Their biggest,
uh you know game is at the end of the season.
I think they win the next one. I don't even
know who it's. So it's like Eastern Illinois College for
the deaf, dumb and blind. Who knows uh they're They're
playing Auburn though in the Iron Bowl to end the
season at Auburn. And then also I have as my
tier two teams Oregon has USC, a ranked USC team
and they're on the road versus Washington. Who's the most
likely out of those teams to fall out of the
top ten in your opinion? And why? And taken l
over the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: And that's a tough one. It's a tough one. Some
good matchups. So let me ask you just for as
a reminder, did Oklahoma and Alabama play already?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oklahoma beat barely Alabama this last week.
Speaker 2: Okay, I saw that. I saw that, and so I
know that was that was close. I think LSU still
is going to be a tough team to beat. I
know their coaches out, but they've got a lot to prove.
I like that game against Oklahoma. I think there's a
good opportunity for an upset there, and then when it
comes to Oregon act, I think just playing both USC
and their rival Washington, those are some tough ones. So
if I was to pick out of these, I think
I feel like Oklahoma has a chance to lose there
against LSU. I love Auburn. I was listening to what
you guys had to say about the Auburn Alabama matchup,
and I'm actually encouraged, like listen to these because these
are all tough games still ahead. So I think BYU's
got a good opportunity Oregon against USC and Washington. I
could see them going down against either one of those teams.
So some good matchups there. I like our chances BYU,
and then we got to beat Cincinnati this week. I
still have all the confidence in the world that BYU
gets in over one of these teams. And if I
had to say, I think see an Oregon fall would
probably be the one of the three that I could
see happening.
Speaker 1: Most likely, let's go quack quack. The ducks are out
of the top ten. Would love to see that.

in Fox Sports, we got Brian Butch on the line. Brian,
how are you.
Speaker 3: I'm doing good? How are you guys doing? Hey?
Speaker 1: Living the dream? Love talking ball of you know, the
the rematch here b Yu gets a little vengeance game hopefully, right,
they get a neutral court that's a little bit nearer
to their home. It'll be not necessarily home game, but
it'll be essentially a home game. Uh, what do you
remember about last year's game in this U, in this matchup.
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, this is one is going to
be a home game. Don't tell me that's not gonna
be all. It's one percent home game. As much as
you're advertising it that it's not gonna be a home game.
It was a home game, and what I remember from
Denver is that was a home game as well for
by you, even though that was the NC.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, you're right, all right, I'm sorry,
you are right. This is a home game, and the
Denver game was pretty much three fours BYU fans.
Speaker 6: It was, it was, but no, it was a great
college basketball game, is what I remember.
Speaker 3: D Yu.
Speaker 6: We knew how good they were last year. Obviously a
lot of you know, great things.
Speaker 3: That they're doing. But this year they're just as good
and it's not better.
Speaker 6: And I think you know what they've built, how they've
gone about it. They're a physical team. They rebound the
ball well, they shoot it from three. They played with
great pace. You know, Kevin does a great job of
running that program. I actually know their assistant coaches, Will Voight.
When I played in the G League, he was my coach,
and then Jordan Brady was I was an assistant under
Jordan Brady when he was the head coach of the
Wisconsin Hurt, So I know kind of what d You
is doing. I know their assistance. They're great guys. They
understand the game really well. This season, you guys are
gonna have success Obviously there's a lot of talent on
that squad, but I think at some point you're gonna
have the coaching to be able to get you through
when what is a long college basketball season. So I love,
like I said, the way that you guys are built,
how you're gonna guard, how you're gonna play offensively. You know,
when you look at your efficiency so far, your top
five in the nation as far as ball movement, what
you can do, how you can score. So now it
just kind of becomes what what is going to happen
tomorrow night? And I think this Wisconsin team they're really
good as well. They've got a couple of great transfers
and Nick Boyd. They also bring back John Blackwell Nolan Winter,
and those guys have kind of, you know, done a
good job. The question I had with Wisconsin for you guys,
this is really their first big test. They've played four
mid majors, they've won big in all of them. Now
they need to be tested. This is their first test.
Then they head out to San Diego. Wisconsin's on an
eleven day road trip with this game, so they're gonna
play the YU, then they're gonna go out San Diego
play Providence and then they'll play.
Speaker 3: The winner of TCU and Florida.
Speaker 6: So they are gonna have a three game stretch here
that they're gonna find out about themselves and then we'll
you know, be able to really see what kind of
team this wiscons team is. But the first one is
against b YU and it's a tough test for sure.
Speaker 1: What's changed personnel wise from last year's roster with the
Wisconsin Badgers to this year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the biggest thing is the loss of john Tonja
who's actually playing drafted by the Utah Jazz playing for
the Salt Lake City Stars G League team right now.
That's the biggest change they bring, you know, get rid
of john Tonjay. They had a lot of seniors as well,
guys that were glue guys. They bring in a player
like Andrew Roady from Virginia who kind of helps fit
that glue mold guy that's not gonna get talked about
nearly enough, but I think he is the key to
Wisconsin because he keeps everybody together. But then you know,
they bring in Nick Boy from San Diego State played
in a Final four with FYU and Dusty May, so
he's got the experience of big time games. That's kind
of the biggest, you know, change that they've had. They
bring back John Blackwell to retain John Blackwell, they attained
Nolan Winner. That's important in college basketball. Not enough people
talk about the retention point of it. Wisconsin did a
good job of making sure they kept their players and
then they added a couple of pieces around to really
kind of hopefully increase the pace. When a lot of
people think of Wisconsin basketball right now, they think of
slow basketball. They think of back when I played. This
team is completely different. They've been out different for about
three four years. They want to get out, they want
to run, they want to push the ball, they want
to score and transition.
Speaker 3: They want to shoot a lot of threes. They want
to get to the paint.
Speaker 6: A lot of college teams have had kind of the
analytic approach. Wisconsin was ahead of that curve a little
bit as far as what they were trying to do.
Speaker 3: Now, they just try to break the stigma of hey,
we're slow, slow team. Grind out.
Speaker 6: That's not what this team wants to do. They want
to get out, they want to run. There's one thing
that's been a consistent and that is they're gonna take
care of the basketball. They're not gonna turn the ball over.
That's what I'm very curious to see about Friday night
or Friday afternoon. How do they take care of the
basketball against a bigger, more physical team.
Speaker 3: They've done a really good job of that this year's team.
Speaker 6: They're also turning over teams at about seventeen turnovers a game.
Speaker 3: So what do they do there? How are they able
to turn over you know, BYU?
Speaker 6: Again, I say, this is their first major test against
a high major team, so are they able to turn
over BYU? Those are kind of the two main things
that I'm gonna watch as this game unfolds.
Speaker 1: What's your scattering report on the bau Cougars from a
personnel standpoint? Have you been able to check tape on
these guys? Talk to the coaching staff? What are they
seeing on tape? They will be without kipa Cata, They're
gonna probably be without Kennar Davis Junior. They are their
short staffed, if you will, from a personnel stand point,
and you know, arguably two of their two starters are
out for b YU.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think that's the question now is is
how do you piece it together. If you're b YU,
and I think if you're Wisconsin, you probably wanted keet
It back just because it helps the big rotation of what.
Speaker 3: You can do.
Speaker 6: But I mean this team is as a team that
you know, attacks the offensive glass, they get out and
transition their defense. Their interior defense is really good. So
now that becomes with with you know, the difference in
the interior.
Speaker 3: What is next?
Speaker 6: And I think that's the biggest thing that I look
at with this BYU team. Now you look at what
you know Rob Wright can do and how he can
handle the game, what he you know as far as
just being a four general, he's fantastic. You need to
be able to control what he does. You look at Davansa.
We all know how good he is. We all know
what he can do. We saw him turn that switch,
you know against Yukon in the game in Boston. Now,
how does Wisconsin handle him? How does Wisconsin get out?
I think the other thing is too part of the
Scott report wise, whether it's Richie Soners whoever, its limit.
Speaker 3: The initial wave.
Speaker 6: I think U Khon got out to that early league
which gave them enough breathing room. B y hes gonna
want to try and do the same thing against this
Wiscon's team. So if you're Sicons and you try to
handle that wave. But I think overall, you know, with
the injuries, with the people that are out, you've got
to really limit Robert Wright. I think you know, everybody
knows aj what he's gonna do, how he's gonna tech.
That's the obvious thing to me. The key is how
do you handle right?
Speaker 3: What do you do?
Speaker 6: How do you handle them picking and rolls? How do
you handle the assist rate? How do you make sure
that she doesn't get to the free throw line a lot?
He's averaging you know, four files drawing a game like
those are the little things that I think he impacts
this game so much with.
Speaker 7: That's what I was gonna ask Brian, who's gonna be
tasked with guarding raw right obviously Richie Saunders last year
at twenty five points in nine to sixteen shooting the
WYU as other pieces now and act a primary ball
handler that doesn't have to go through Ritchie. Who's gonna
be task a small rob right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: So this is this is the interesting thing about Wisconsin
is they're they're averaging seventeen turnovers a game, but John
black will guard it everybody's best player last year.
Speaker 3: Because he had to.
Speaker 6: Now you can remove John Blackwell off of that a
little bit, and I think you look at you know,
Rob right, and it's gonna be.
Speaker 3: Nick Boyd in my opinion.
Speaker 6: Obviously, they've got practice to day and I'll sit on
that so i'll have a better clue after their practice.
They don't practice later on today out here in Salt
Lake City. But one of those things that coach guard
has enough versatility to be able to put different guys on,
you know, Robert Wright and kind of change the tempo.
Speaker 3: And I think that's the biggest thing.
Speaker 6: So I look at that initially and say, hey, I
think it's probably gonna be Nick Boyd as far as
how he handles that.
Speaker 3: Nick does a.
Speaker 6: Really good job of getting into players, forcing that contact,
and I think that's gonna be a real big, a
real big key to this game. The obviously know Saunders
agent like they're huge in what they're doing. They're key,
and I'm not trying to overlook what they're doing at all,
because those are the first ones. I think that's what
you've got to control. But when I kind of pull back,
you know the layers there and look into it. We
know that how fast they want to play, and I
think that first initial wave is you gotta handle it.
You can't. You can't give up easy baskets. If you're Wisconsin.
They want to get ahead. They do a great job
of doing that with the pass as well. Boom, catch, rebound,
one pass up the sideline. Now all of a sudden
they're off. They're running in transition with their quick hits.
Speaker 3: That's a tough thing to do.
Speaker 7: Look, Nick Boyd has been as good as advertised, right
you look at the tape. I'm going into San Diego State.
Everything was console. It's one of he's given that so
far in my opinion. But I mean John Blackwell, I
mean he was fantastic in the last meeting that they had.
What is his mindset going into this game? Obviously he's
the leader of the team. He's averaging nineteen and a half,
just around the twenty mark, but he rebounds at a
very high leve, a little bigger guard, very physical, as
he already mentioned. Does he need to take over this
game necessarily? You know, tomorrow, you.
Speaker 3: Know, I'll say this about John.
Speaker 6: I think John is one of the most unselfish superstars
that you'll see in the game of college basketball. And
that's not because I call Wisconsin games on the radio.
Like I worked for the Big Ten Network, I see
a lot of different games I cover him on TV.
So this for me is one of those things that
when I say I think he's the most unselfish superstars
in this league, people don't know about John Blackwell Wellelse yet.
I think this stage will give him an opportunity on
an opportunity to kind of showcase himself. So I look
for him to be ultra aggressive. You know, through the
first four games all been mid major games. But when
it's gotten tight, or when there's been a stretch where
there's been about a three minute stretch, Wisconsin offense has
it clicked.
Speaker 3: Who's been a guy to take the game over. It's
been John Blackwell. And he does in a variety away
the way.
Speaker 6: He shoots the ball from three, the way he rejects screens,
rips and goes gets a free throw line, He gets
others involved. He's a huge offensive rebounding guard, which to me,
I think is just it's an undervalued skill set for guards.
If you've got a guard, they can go get an
extra possession. If you get a guard, they can go
get a rebound. Give you two points there. Most guards
on the defense end aren't going to block out other guards.
It's just not in their DNA. You just don't see
that a lot. John takes advantage of anytime that a
guard is sleeping.
Speaker 3: Boom. John Blackwell's gonna go to the front of him
and go get an offense rebound, give you an extra possession.
So you add that on top of all.
Speaker 6: The other things that he does so well. He's a
really tough guard. I think BYU is gonna have their
hands full with them. I know they've got guards that
are gonna guard, whether it's Saunders, whether it's aj Like
you look at how they handle them.
Speaker 3: They better not.
Speaker 6: Fall asleep because if they fall asleep, John Blackwell is
gonna make them pay.
Speaker 1: Riding will be the fourth all time meeting between the
two schools. Is the Cougars are one and two now
against the Badgers, the only win coming in that NCAA tournament,
and it was only a two point win. Like it
was like this overly convincing.
Speaker 3: It was a great college.
Speaker 6: Basketball year, was in sate term, but it was a
great college basketball game. I mean, it comes down, Wisconsin's
got the ball coming down with a chance to tie it.
Speaker 3: You know, John Tonja's in the right corner, a little faithe.
Speaker 6: Away doesn't go BYU cleans out like it was a
great college basketball I always say this guy, college basketball
always delivers.
Speaker 3: You just got to pay attention to it.
Speaker 6: I know that it's you know, we're sitting here, it's
November twentieth. I get it, NFL college football people want.
Speaker 3: I understand that. But if you're not paying attention to
college basketball right now, you're missing out on great college basketball.
Speaker 6: I mean, you had an awesome game between Illinois and
Illinois and Alabama, you had yukon Arizona, like all those
games delivered. This game Friday night, sir, it's Friday afternoon.
Speaker 3: Now circle it.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be another one of those games that delivers
and puts college basketball out there.
Speaker 1: Do you think Tanjay wish he would have took a
different shot rather than from the short corner. I felt
like he was he was open. I thought like when
he was like coming up the court, like I remember
like that final possession, I thought he was gonna pull
from like like you know, twenty plus or whatever wherever
he was on the floor, and then he ended up
kind of dribbled dry penetration to the short corner. And
you know, pump faked a few times before falling away
from the short corner. Do you think he wants that
one back? And where do you where is she? Where
did you want him to take the shot from?
Speaker 6: Well, I'll say this, and it was the same thing
I sold Greg coach guard afterwards.
Speaker 3: A secret.
Speaker 6: It's your best player. You got the ball in his hand.
You let him make a decision. He got you this far,
so I would I'm not gonna second guess, dude, Maybe
you know, does you know John wish you would have
done something differently? Probably he didn't make the shot. So
it's one of those that you always think about as
a player. You're like, man, I wish I would have
done this differently, or could have done this differently, But
in the moment, you go with everything that got you
in that moment. I mean, the dude was ridiculous in
the NCAA tournament game there. So you gave him the ball,
you clear out, you let him go to work. He
got Wisconsin there last year. Now, Wisconsin was great. He
had a lot of great pieces, but he was a
guy that took over games and in that moment, and
he had done it numerous times, you know, prior to
the NCAA tournament. You gotta you gotta trust your guys.
Speaker 3: The beautiful thing.
Speaker 6: About college basketball is it still is a players game,
Like you can draw it up.
Speaker 3: Coaches are great, but players gotta go make plays at
the end of the game.
Speaker 6: And I thought Greg gave, you know, believed in this guy.
And I think that's a, you know, a testament to
what his Badger program is. It's like, hey, we're gonna
set you up, We're gonna put you in the positions
to have success, and then in the end, go take
advantage of it.
Speaker 3: And I think that's what they did. It is it
didn't work.
Speaker 1: Out for him, Yeah, yeah, it didn't matter. He had
thirty seven point cent of eighteen, three of nine from
the three point fourteen of sixteen from the charity stripe
as well. He had a great game.
Speaker 7: Look, I mean when he had the ball, I was
scared the whole time. Look, I was just like, I
don't I was like, look he's cooking. Look they scored
thirty six in the first half he had thirty seven.
Speaker 1: He outscored what they scored. The like that tells you that.
Speaker 7: So when he had the balls, you know what, I
just gotta wait till this is over because he's just pray.
Speaker 1: He's just praying.
Speaker 7: All I can do is pray because he's a good
player and he's been giving buckets.
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, I'm intrigued by the matchup once again, Brian.
Best way to support you what you do, how you
do it For all of our listeners, I know you.
We can follow you at Brian Underscore, butch on the
X machine, on the Twitter machine as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, definitely give me a follow there. That's the
biggest thing to support. Love, love all this stuff. Like
I said, I love your coach and Steff, we'll voight
with my coach when I was in the G League,
so I know coach voyed very well. And then obviously
Jordan Brady I coached underneath when he was the head coach.
So it's been Uh, it's fun. I love your group.
I love the way that they're approaching it. It's gonna
be great to catch up with those guys again. And
you run a lot of youth basketball camps in Wisconsin.
Just stay busy with it all. So it's fun. I
appreciate you guys having on me. Yes said, this game
is gonna deliver. So make sure you got your subscription
to Peacock because that's what it's on, but or you
can listen on the radio either side. But make sure
you're all signed up ready to roll for it, because
this is gonna be a great college basketball game.
Speaker 3: And this is what everybody wants.
Speaker 6: Test yourself early by You's done that already with a
great schedule. Wisconsin starting to do that now with their stretch.
You get to find out what your team's built on
since you can make a run in March, and that's
ultimately is what what these.
Speaker 3: Guys and these teams are trying to test their guys
early on in the season for.
Speaker 6: So it's great, great for the game, great for these
programs and looking forward to to a really good game.
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. And you're gonna get your your
eyes on first time. I think a you de bonsa
gotta be you know, exciting, could get the first overall
pick in the next year's NBA draft.
Speaker 6: It's absolutely crazy how good this freshman class is. It
is it is good for the game of basketball and
age and what he can do.
Speaker 3: I think everybody saw a glimpse. Yeah, everyone knew how
good he was.
Speaker 6: But that second half against Utah and Boss like he was,
he was the best player on the floorm.
Speaker 3: He just took over the game.
Speaker 6: He brought b YU back into it, even though they
don't win, but like you could see that part of
it is like, Okay, you're gonna have your hands full
and you've got to guard us five and makes it
everyone's in. And that's where b YU is gonna have
some open looks. They're gonna have some different things because
I think AG's gonna be able to create a lot.
You know, Wiscoont's scunning important. You gotta take care of Richie,
gotta take care of aging. But that's why I think
when you look at just what they do, you know
White's gonna be such a key part of it because
that's the X factor in my opinion.
Speaker 3: So I'm really looking forward to a great game.
Speaker 1: Guys, Brian Butch, ladies and gentlemen, goodlock on the call
and have a great time watching this game. Enjoy Salt
Lake City.
Speaker 6: It'll be a blast, all right, guys, I appreciate it,
thanks so much, all.
Speaker 1: Right, appreciate you. That's Brian Butch, analyst for the Badgers
radio network, and a great segment from him, and this
is a good one. This is gonna be a fantastic matchup.
Obviously at the trio of Rob Right the Third, A J. Debonsa,
and Richie Saunders. They've combined to score sixty eight percent
of bilious points this season, and we expect that once
again the Wisconsin Badgers and uh but but the Wisconsin
Badgers also have plenty of firepowers. You guys mentioned Ronald
breaking down this team, Nick boyd Uh, Nolan Winter are
guys you got to get to know. Also John Blackwell
and Austin Rapp. They got a great starting five and
they have a pretty deep bench as well. The Badgers
do all right. As far as the line is concerned,
BYU is a favorite in this game, I believe, and
ESPN Analytics giving b YU a sixty three point three
percent chance of victory as a you know, on a
neutral court, but it'll be a home home court advantage.
What are the tickets going for right now? By the way,
I know Brian Santiago was discussing giving some discount of
tickets to Cougarnation. We're gonna have we gotta a jam
pack that Delta Center. With the ticket prices being sky high,
and these are time games, it's a little bit unfortunate.
We'd like to get all the fans out there, the loyal,
strong and true, where the white and blue at the
Delta Center. Yeah.
Speaker 7: I think when I was looking yesterday being to get
tickets for the game, and I think this was, like,
you know, vivid seats the upper bowl was not not cheap.
It was, you know, definitely expensive. You know, ranging I
think one thirty now it's is skyrocketed yesterday I think
it was in the nineties. And then to sit lower
ball sit all the way down there, you know, in
sections like twelve through fifteen, it goes from three hundred.
So crazy, that's how it is. I mean, all ey
is gonna be on AJ, but that's just the way
it is. And to your point, when a backtrack just
a little bit, you mentioned a big three. Right now
they're combining. You know, you said for a sixty sixty
two percent of these points fifty seven point six points
per game, AJ twenty point three. Richie nineteen point five
and then Rob Wright seventeen point a. Just around that
so combined for about fifty eight points a game. That's
what your Big three is doing.

save money on your taxes at the end of the year.
And one of the ways you can save money actually
on your taxes is at the end of the year
if if you're a business owner, you can actually purchase
a business vehicle. That's right, you know. One of the
playbook pages out of Banter Wealth is actually to evaluate
some vehicles at the end of the year. And BMW
and Pleasant Grove have some great vehicles that you can
evaluate that are over six thousand pounds that would meet
that requirement. I have Kate Osborne, service manager of over
eighteen years now at BMW and Pleasant Grove, to talk
a little bit about that. Kate, how the heck are you.
Speaker 3: Buddy, I'm great man, good to be here. Yeah.
Speaker 1: At the end of the year, it seems like there's
a bit of a rush in November and December because
the accountants reach out to the small business owner. The
business owners say, hey, like, you've made a little bit
of money here, do you want to be taxed on it?
Or do you want to go get an asset? And
BMW and Pleasant Grove have some great vehicles that they
can peruse in order to maybe limit some of their
tax exposure.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, and there's obviously plenty of cars that they
can get into. They get over that that's six thousand
pounds right. That help them out with that obviously with
their accountant's advice on what to do there. And then
me on the service side. The other thing we'd like
to do while you're in here is did you set
up with the right set of tires right? And thinking
about what you know, the safety side of what tires bring.

this this week is the weather changes is and we
head into the winter thinking about you know, this end
of year and then also you know, safety with those tires.
Speaker 1: Buy three tires, get one free right now at BMW
Pleasure Growth. Winter is coming, as they say, in the
winter wonderland along the Wahstadt Front can get quite dangerous.
There's always the the accidents that occur like in the
first snowfall. Don't be a part of one of those
accents because you've delayed getting the right tires. You've seen
that time and time again, right Kate.
Speaker 8: Yes, absolutely, And it's about you know, obviously a good
winner or an all season it's as much about the tread,
but also the compound and what those tires are made of,
and it just you know, it really is the biggest
safety system specific.
Speaker 1: To bad weather.
Speaker 3: So that's why we try.
Speaker 8: Like I said, we lose money on these deals, but
it's about taking care of our customers and you know,
