| 0:18.8 | basketball podcast. I got Matt Norlander here with me. We're both in San Antonio. We |
| 0:22.7 | are preparing in some ways for the national championship game to tip off a late |
| 0:28.9 | Monday. It is Villanova against Michigan, Norlander. How are you on this Monday |
| 0:34.4 | morning? Gary Parrish. I'm doing okay. Little low on sleep, but I'm still doing |
