All right, everybody. Welcome back, Sam's army episode 2.187. We got a lot to talk about today. This is World Cup podcast number eight aka the second to last these bad boys where we're going to wrap up the semifinals and get you ready for Sunday's brand name final plus, of course, stop it.

I'm featuring best bets in everyone's favorite segment. Go us the first. It is time to welcome in these beauties here with me today. We got a a tweedle heavy crew.

First up, we got Mitchell Goulet aka overtime Mitch who is my lifeline to what is going on in the NBA when Larry and TJ are off doing their thing. So Mitchell, give me the 411 here. You know, who is the Celtics biggest competition to win the title of the season?

Realistically, the bucks, but the real answer is the Celtics do not have any competition. Robert Williams comes back on Friday. The Celtics just got out four and two road trip where they squeaked out the last one and overtime against the Lakers.

I should be doing basketball podcast. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing here, but these Celtics are an absolute wagon. Galen Ari might be back later in the season with a torn ACL shout out to my torn ACL brother.

Nobody nobody can stop this boss in Celtics Jason Tatum's MVP. Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum are the best duo in the league. I got to hop off and do a basketball podcast seal it.

Well, first of all, that was the wrong answer. The right answer was the Pelicans. So you got that one wrong. But no, actually, I'm going to take your word for it on that.

Also joining us, Mr. Mikey Fowler, who like Mitch was subjected to a Gabby Hayes whose question sometime recently and unlike Mitch did not call me an asshole for asking it. So your question might you this time.

Where are you going to be watching the final and why is it not at fat poor here in Chicago with the great question, Sam.

Honestly, I would love to be a fat poor in Chicago. And if you guarantee me the greatest seat in the house right next to you, I would maybe consider it.

I can promise you that actually.

I will now debate whether or not I want to convince the ball and James and take a spontaneous trip to Chicago on Saturday.

Can you promise first two rounds on you?

The chugs are first drink. So first three for her.

OK, I can promise that. I can promise.

Also, Sam, just a note on the Pelicans. I'm in close contacts with the team around Larry Nance Jr. about going to the certain game in Philadelphia on the second of January.

So if anybody wants to come, Sam's army meet up in Philly where I'm going to be going to dinner with Larry after they get blown out by the Sixers.

Look, are you a Sixers Dan?

No, I just want to talk shit.

I might buy a jersey.

OK, I like it. So there you go. Anybody in Philly keep keep your eye out there.

All right, let's go. Let's get to soccer. Enough NBA here. So quick pop quiz for you to because I don't think I've heard what either one of you have to say on this.
