What's up, it's Ryan Rusillo and today's episode of Ryan Rusillo show on the ringer podcast network is brought to you by state farm just like basketball. The game of life is unpredictable. Talk to a state farm agent and get a teammate who can help you navigate the unexpected like.

The next up 20 on the Houston Rockets and holding off this rockets come back and winning despite Westbrook's last second attempt to tie it with a two pointer.

Oh, yeah, I didn't expect that one, but you know what, Houston's actually do for a bad game. They've been on fire. You can hear all of our Houston commentary on the Bill Simmons podcast from Sunday night.

Get a teammate who can help you navigate the unexpected talk to a state farm agent today. We're going to talk to Tom Kern NBC sports, Pats Insider somebody to work with when I was in Boston. He understands the Bellic Check Brady dynamic.

I would say as much as anybody. He is incredibly well sourced. I think he's probably one of the few guys that gets an audience with Bellic Check. I don't think Bill would say straight up. Hey, Tom, here's the plan.

We're going to go ahead and see if we can't do something a little back load. Maybe some incentives, something like that. He has 10 throws in the air. Anyway, because I still can't make up my mind. I can't make up my mind of what I think it's going to happen.

And like I said entirely throughout this whole thing. If Brady leaves everybody's going to go, well, of course he left. You know, they gave him the out he opted for the out he negotiated that he's sick of Bellic Check.

He doesn't have enough weapons. He's gone. And if he stays, everybody's going to go, of course he stayed. He's 43. I think he wants to start over and do something different after 20 years with the same franchise. And I can't pick. But what I will do before we do that, we're going to do five things NBA things, five things.

Kyle, what are you I'm going to workshop some titles right now for you ready for this ready.

The starting five. I don't like that. Let me try that one again. The starting five. What do you think about sounds like it's already syndicated. Yeah.

They call it Mercury because it rises to the top. That's what is that that Mercury rising. You don't remember that movie. I love when I do these. These are not planned. I promise. But they did a thing on the guy.

Who does the voiceovers, the legendary voiceover guy for all those movies. And there is a movie called Mercury rising that came out in 1998. That's a 19% on Ron tomatoes. Bruce Willis, Alec Baldwin.

I'm going to go ahead and pull up this guy. I think he's dead.

Which is not sad because. The voice guy. Yeah. Some people do die.

Yeah. Yeah. Cause I'll never forget that one. Like they did an interview with this guy and he was like the guy that did movie trailers forever. I can't believe him for getting his name.

And that was the Mercury rising one. Is he just goes. They call it Mercury because it rises to the top. The other guy cutler who does the ESPN voiceover stuff.

He was he's like one of the nicest guys ever. And he's hysterical because he's got this unbelievable voice. Like these guys. I know I have a deep voice.

But like the guys that are really trained as voiceover guys. He just when they talk, they're like, who what is this? Like this isn't human.

But this how this is cutler guy talks. You know, he would he would say like, you know, all right, what do we got here? A couple liners. All right, what do we get?

We got San Antonio San Antonio. Okay. Uh, we get Steve in the Banshee. Okay. All right. That's the midday. All right. Cool. All right. Three, two, one.

Check out San Antonio. One, one, five was Steve in the Banshee.
