0:00.0	Tonight's episode, the Bill Simmons podcast on the Ringer podcast network brought to you by Spotify,
0:05.7	which has the best podcast listing experience around. You can change speeds. You can check out
0:10.9	their great charts, do whatever you want. Coming up, we're going to talk to Joe House,
0:18.7	who I think has had a couple cocktails. So he'll be especially fiery about Denver Utah game seven
0:24.8	and Boston Toronto House is joining the same now. It's drughouse. All right. So we have we have
0:35.6	drughouse coming up. And then the talented Mr. Roto Matthew Barry our annual fantasy football
0:41.1	preview that's all coming up. First our friends from Project.
1:03.1	What a treat have drughouse. So, kind of can you sponsor and fairware role in it,
1:08.0	set house a case of Heineken, which I think he started drinking during an incredible game seven
1:12.8	Denver Utah. First game seven probably since the late 70s that didn't have any fans. I think we

1:55.8	who is a Jeremy Grant. At the very end, he passed a Tory Craig and he missed a layup. Tory Craig
2:03.8	misses the layup. And then he does. All of a sudden, it has a chance to make the game winning three
2:09.7	and Conley shoots it. It goes in and out. If let's start here, if Conley makes the three,
2:17.8	that is one of the bigger boners we've had in playoff basketball last 25 years. I remember in
2:23.5	college, Rod Strickland on the spurs when he did the over the head pass. Remember that with like
2:29.5	25 seconds left to the game seven. We've had plays like this. This would have been way up there.
