Ringer NBA. 100 dogs Run fast I'm

The Ruffian Oh, no. It's true. It's truly a feeling a feeling thing here.

Oh, welcome to the ringers.

Philly special.

Shield Kapati here with Sean Siam Siamer of Sumer Sports and of course,

Cliffy Doe.

Sean, I think this is the first time.

Actually, I don't remember the last time we did a Friday afternoon podcast.

I try to stay away from the Friday afternoons. You know,

you don't want to post on a Friday night or Saturday morning, that type of thing. It's not

the perfect window. But we were waiting. We said there has to be enough and there have to be

enough signings here for us to have you on and discuss them. So they had a couple minor signings. We said, all right, let's just go ahead and do it, give the people what they want. So sorry is what I'm saying for ruining your Friday afternoon. This is exactly how I want to spend my Friday afternoon. I thought once the Braden Man news comes down, it's like, all right, we got people that we can talk about here. I do think there's some exciting stuff to be able to talk about here. Even in a free agency where you lose some pieces, different things happen. Obviously, trade rumors is kind of the loudest thing that swirls around the team overall, but still a lot of fun here, I think. The real reason we're having Sean on is because the Oscars are on Sunday. Do you know what time the telecast starts, Shil?

I would imagine 8 o'clock. Oh, a little late. Seven Eastern. I like it even better. All right, 7 Eastern. Get me to better earlier. I like that. Now, they're not on YouTube yet, right? That's a future thing. I believe, yeah, that's going to be down in the future. But, you know, 7 o'clock, I feel like for the kids, you know, the show will probably start with the show on Golden, too. So we can get things cooking. All right. So 7 o'clock Oscars, for those of you who are loyal listeners, you know about Sean's movie obsession. I don't know, obsession, interest, passion. How about that?

That's a nice way to say.

He has a passion for cinema, which is the greatest I've seen this side of maybe

Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins on their wonderful podcast, Sean the big picture, right? I would say, I mean, I would put you in your category. I mean, you got to talk to more people than that. Come on. No, you were that, those are the people in that category. So we're going to end the show. And Sean's going to give us his Oscar picks and also his Oscar predictions. But before we do that, going to give you the latest on A.J.'re going to talk about the players the Eagles have signed. Arnold Ebikati is one of them. Jonathan Jones is another

one. What does Sean think of Rieke Wollett? You know, he's followed that Seahawks defense very

closely, watched them on film pretty much weekly, I would say last year. What does he think
