Ukraine update ~3 million have left, thousands killed. Bucks would like to thank David Kotok for the link to New Yorker journalist Masha Gessen\\u2019s 2017 interview on Vladimir Putin. Scary how prescient this analysis was. ~2 hours long; can listen to ~20 minutes to get the drift. Video is the property of PBS Frontline.

Mr Kotok is chairman of Cumberland Advisors. Full disclosure: Neither Dave nor Del has any money invested with Cumberland Advisors. Here\\u2019s the link to the video.

This was Mr. Kotok\\u2019s closing thought:

\\xa0After listening to at least some of this interview, please consider the ancient mythological dilemma.\\xa0 You are in a sealed cave.\\xa0 You are discovered by a monster who wants to eat you.\\xa0 You are trying to find a reason to argue and therefore to convince the monster not to eat you.\\xa0 From birth, the monster has learned only deceit, arrogance and brutality.\\xa0 The monster has only one thing in his mind and cannot be persuaded to change his goal of consuming you.\\xa0 What do you do?\\xa0 The choice becomes binary: be eaten or find a way to kill the monster. \\xa0 \\xa0\\xa0

\\xa0It\\u2019s Tax Season again. The IRS uses \\u201ccourtesy disconnects\\u201d to hang up on callers when wait times are long. Yes, you read that correctly: \\u201cCourtesy Disconnects\\u201d is the official term used by the agency.

\\xa0Del runs Trivia Night and gets out alive to tell about it. Dave has a Trivia experience of his own.

\\xa0Brady\\u2019s back, much to the chagrin of the guy who paid $250K for the \\u201clast touchdown\\u201d ball a few hours before Brady announced his reincarnation.

\\xa0It\\u2019s March Madness again. Dave plans to suffer from sleep deprivation again

\\xa0Speaking of sports, Shaq explains how to save money on gas - 2018 advice but still just as valid. Watch the video here.

Del falls down, experiences pain and suffering\\u2026again.
