Ben Spiering from Wisconsin Sports Heroics joins the show to chop it up on Wisconsin Badgers basketball, Chucky Hepburn, Tyler Wahl, Stephen Crowl and the transfer portal.
We kick off the show talking about the sure things on next year's basketball roster. How do we see Tyler Wahl's game evolving and why he needs to get his jumper going. We dive into Chucky Hepburn's game and why he's such a steadying force for the roster. We talk about Stephen Crowl and why we both think he's going to improve. Finally we talk about if this team has a star on its roster.
For the next segment we talk about the transfer portal, how many spots Wisconsin needs to fill and what those spots needs are. We discuss the transfer in of Kamari McGee and why he fills a necessary role.
Finally on Locked on Badgers we talk about the 2022 and 2023 basketball recruiting classes. We dive into 2022 guard Connor Essegian and 2023 combo guard John Blackwell. Both players have unique offensive games, we dive into what they bring to the table. Lastly we talk about Gus Yalden and why he would be a HOME RUN recruit in the 2023 class.

Built Bar Talking Points – February
● This is the time of year that I’ve pretty much given up on all of my New Year’s resolutions. But not this year. I’m sticking to my resolution to eat right, thanks to Built Bar. It almost feels like it’s not really a resolution because I actually enjoy eating them.
● Have you tried the Puffs? If you haven’t you’re missing out on one of Built Bars best-tasting bars.
● Puffs are the first ever protein-infused marshmallow. They’re fluffy, they’re marshmallow-y. They’re not just a protein bar. They’re a treat. And they’re covered in 100% real chocolate.
● Puffs are a fan favorite with some incredible flavors, yummy cinnomanny-y Churro, Coconut Marshmallow, Banana Creme Pie… so good. These are going to be your new favorite.
● All Built Bars are covered in 100% real chocolate (yes, Puff’s included). 100% real chocolate!
● Low calorie, High protein. Replace your candy bars with these. They are better. A typical candy bar can be anywhere from two to three-hundred calories.
● Go to Built.com and scroll down to the macros chart. You’ll be blown away. High protein, low cal. High fiber, low carb.
● Most Built Bars contain: 130 Calories 4 Grams of Sugar 4 Net Carbs And 17 grams of Protein
Compare that to a candy bar which usually has around 240 Calories, 30 grams of sugar, and dozens of net carbs.
● Mint Brownie, Coconut, Coconut Almond. And new for this month White Chocolate Cookies N Cream! They are all delicious, and new flavors are coming out all the time. If they think a flavor might be good, they’ll make it. It will be delicious and it will be good for you.
At Built Bar, they are all about the taste. They make it taste delicious first, then figure out how to make it healthy. And I don’t know how, but they pull it off every time.

With the ever increasing numbers of makes and models, it’s now impossible to for your local chain auto parts store to stock all the parts you need. Why endure often pointless or seemingly intimidating questioning (“Is your Odyssey an LX or an EX?” ) and wait while the person behind the counter orders the parts on their computer; choosing the only brand their warehouse happens to carry? You have computers with access to RockAuto.com at home and in your pocket!
