Welcome back into the show.

It is late.

We have a sweet 16.

We are joined by a sweet, sweet duo. For the second show in a row,

it is Adam Finkelstein joining. And look at that. The one and only Sam Vasini back on the show,

back for an entire show, GP in the studio late, late, late yet again. We've been getting some

comments. Why can't Norlander and Parrish do the podcast together when the tournament's happening? Because we both have studio duties and I got to go out and fly and go to the rest of regional. So we're not going to hop on the show at 2.45 a.m. Can't do that. Happy to have these fellows on. Sam, obviously, making his annual appearance on the pod. For the second consecutive night, we have big time ball, major action to get to.

Don't tell me this tournament isn't. on the pod. For the second consecutive night, we have big time ball, major action to get to.

Don't tell me this tournament isn't the best thing in sports.

Don't tell me.

The surprise, the awe, the shock.

The chalk?

Nah, no, no, no, no four one seeds getting back to the final four.

See you in a couple of decades.

Okay. Florida is out of this thing. Iowa got it done in incredible fashion, shocking fashion.

Sam, think, happy to have you on the show. We're going to talk about all eight games.

We're going to dive in right here, right now. I'm going to go to Sam first. I got notes galore on this, but the floor is yours, quite literally, Sam. It's a pleasure to have you back. I know we try and get you with regularity, but this time, no GP, you're good to go. Thanks for joining us, floor is yours on this game and whatever you want to get going with this pod. Well, the timing worked out perfect. It's like 4 p.m. here in Australia. So

given that you guys needed a night owl, it's great. But the first thing that I have to talk about here

is how much better Norlander has gotten at the intros and things like that since I departed the show.

It's unbelievable. We got rhyming now. We got all sorts of real genuine skill and talent as a host.

Not to say you didn't have it before, but my God, listen to that man's voice.

It's plenty. Between you and Fornelly and don't worry. Fornelly is so insufferable. His align iron, the sweet 16. Good God. But I appreciate that, buddy. Thank you so much. I didn't screw up the sponsor read at the top of the show. Good to go. I say Iowa beats Florida becomes the ninth nine seed to beat a one ever. Sam Vassini, you say what?
