What is discussed at the start of this section?
It's the Pumpin' Joe Show. Not here. Nobody knows. Do you know this song by heart yet, Limits? I actually do, yes. So do I. And the good news is that Bob is here, sitting right across from me, and I'd like to announce publicly something that nobody cares about. Where'd he go? I got 10 of 16 of the sweet 16, and all my final four teams are alive, Bob. And I realize that the only thing more boring than talking about my brackets, this goes for anybody, is talking about my fantasy teams. But I do have 10 of 16. And I do of all my final four. How about you? Three of the four. I have Michigan State winning it all. So that's one of my... Arizona or Florida the one you lost? I mean Florida. Arizona's still alive.
Florida's what I lost because I mean that was quite a game there.
Great game.
To see the former Robert Morris transfer Alvaro Fulgaris. How do you say his last name?
Fulgaris.
Fulgaris. Yeah. He hit that shot that was unbelievable. And Todd Golden is the kind of coach that he may be good at it, but he makes you want to not like their program. Yes, he does. He's like Danny Hurley in many ways. Yes, he is.
How are the Final Four brackets shaping up?
I watch that team, and sometimes I want to say, and Nick Cronin's in the same boat. All these guys I look at and I say, eh, they may be good at what they do, but I don't want to root for them. I loved when the coaches got into it in the Iowa. Boy, they did. You know, that guy, McCollum, has done a heck of a job with them. And if you look at his track record, he has done well wherever he's been. I think he's won multiple national championships. And I forget if it's Division II, whatever it is. I mean, he's had a big success on his resume when it comes to coaching teams to big results. And so now at Iowa, you didn't think – first of all, I never thought Iowa-Nebraska would be one of the games we're going to watch on Thursday, but here we are.
Limits, I got 10 of 15, or 10 of 16. Did I mention that? And all my Final Four teams are alive. How are you doing on both your brackets that have different teams on them? That is correct, yes. I'm assuming you'll go with the better one right now. What do you have? I have my Final Four in both brackets still alive. I never picked Florida to make it to the Final Four. Bob, should he get to talk about both his brackets here, or should he be negated from all bracket talks since he has two different brackets? I'm just basically going off of my main bracket. I understand why people do it, but you're right. Then you cover your butt on so many different things. But the strategy, I've read a few articles where that doesn't pay off at all.
You could have 10 of them. But if you keep going against sooner or later, there's an intersection that you need to happen, and it doesn't happen. Are there any perfect brackets left? No. They're all done. Out of 26.6 million, none left after one week. That is incredible. Nobody's standing to tell about it, Bob. It's very sad. Was anybody standing by the end of Harry Callas' wedding the other night, Bob, that you didn't go to? Harry Callas' wedding? I mean, Harry Callas' wedding? That's an upset to start. Whoa! I mean, Donnie Football's wedding. And the reason why I mentioned Harry first is he was the star of the show. We lifted him up in the air, Bob. No, you didn't. Yes, we did. We had already lifted who? Who was the first person who went up?
Jack Hillgrove, maybe? He was having a good time, Bob. Let's just put it that way. And then Pony said, what about Harry? I said, zero chance that I'm going to get involved and zero chance he gets up in the air. Sure enough. And I have to give Pony credit. He got into the heavy lifting part of this. And so did a couple of others. I was just on the outskirts because I knew if Harry came crashing down, there goes back, knees, everything else. I'm in the hospital for a month, Bob. Was that the high point limits? It was definitely a point of the wedding that I did not expect. What precipitated that? Alcohol was normally involved. That's a part of it. That's what they say when everybody gets in trouble and police believe alcohol.
