Save Us, March Madness + The Best Picture Draft (feat. Deck and Wiz)

In the 166th episode of The Truth with Tal & Isaac, the boys are joined by Deck (Declan) and Wiz for an episode built around March Madness and an all-time movie draft. They open with Off the Tops (00:00), getting to know both guests — Deck as a sneaky teacher/young professional and fan of the show, and Wiz continuing his now-established lore. The conversation bounces from the Red Wings’ brutal March struggles to an all-time Tiger Woods comparison, before turning into a plea to “save us” Cade Cunningham — even if it means donating lungs.

At (10:25), March Madness takes over as the main event. The boys break down what continues to be the best sports stretch of the year. From there, it’s a full tournament deep dive: the Big Ten showing out (Iowa, Nebraska), the impact of NIL on the death of Cinderella runs, and UConn’s ability to win games while getting outplayed (Chiefs-esque). Michigan looks dominant, Arizona is rolling, Illinois continues to impress, and chaos moments like High Point over Wisconsin remind everyone why we love this tournament. The Final Four is set up as must-watch — Illinois vs UConn is cinema, while Michigan vs Arizona feels like an all-out war.

At (27:02), the episode shifts into the Best Picture Mega Draft. Deck sets the tone with his movie taste before the boys draft their teams, debating the greatest Best Picture winners of all time. From undeniable classics (The Godfather, Gladiator, Oppenheimer) to controversial picks and “mid” winners, the segment is packed with strong opinions, deep cuts, and chaos — the perfect way to close the show.
