All right, not bad, Mike. That's his third one right here. 905. Willie and Jerry and for Boomer and Geo built, Ford Tubb Studio. 888-808-101-19 is the number. CBS Sports Network with a shot of the Christmas tree. So that's kind of cool. You ever get out there? What's that? Do you have to do that, the tree? Uh, no Never

0:24.4

Never So that's kind of cool. You ever get out there? What's that? To do that, the tree?

0:37.1

No. Never? I mean, I've seen it, but I've never showed up for the lighting. No, my kids have never seen it. Oh, okay. Yeah. My wife loves it, though. And she takes it as well. Your kids have never seen it. Well, she'll take my nieces to go see it. Okay. Yeah, but I'm... What about you taking the kids' old ice skating?

0:39.8

So we did roller skating not too long? all your kids have never seen. Well, she'll take my nieces to go see it. Okay. Yeah, but I'm... What about you taking the kids' little ice skating?

0:39.9

So we did roller skating not too long ago? Okay. That was brutal. Well, it's not, if you don't know how to do it, it's not easy. None of us, but they were, you know, they have that competitive gene. They didn't get off the ice, so I spent half of the time kind of holding them up, going around the ring, wearing ourselves out.

0:55.6

It was brutal.

0:56.4

All right.

0:56.8

So we won't be back. That's it. That's awful. Yeah, they didn't have to figure out of them themselves. Funny. I'm not doing that again. All right, we've been, as you can imagine, all over the map, a lot of football once again. We have not gotten to the basketball, which I want to give the Knicks a couple of minutes because I know they lost last night. So maybe it seems like I'm going to pile on. Not at all. I actually think when I watch this team, you can't. Well, I mean, people could say, well, they do like one thing a friend of mine said when it came out that Brunson and an Obie weren't playing yesterday. It was that they're giving up the game. No, they did not give up that game at all. Matter of fact, that's a tie game in spots in the third quarter. And if it wasn't... They were down 16 going into... Well, they were down 16, came back and tied the game. And then they were down 16 again. They ultimately lost by whatever it was nine or ten. But what I took from this game was without Jalen Brunson and without O.G.

1:46.3

Ananobe, you are seeing the depth of this team because they were more than competitive.

1:50.4

Again, that's a tie game late third quarter.

1:52.9

And that was withstanding Anthony Edwards just playing out of his mind in the third quarter.

1:58.2

And then Julius Randall had a monster.

2:00.0

Yeah, which, fair enough.

2:02.1

He didn't start off well because I think he was like three for 11 behind the arc.

2:05.7

And then the fourth quarter, he was just coming downhill and the Knicks couldn't do nothing. And well, he was doing everything he wanted to do. Yes. Like they couldn't stop him. even when he would get into some traffic in the paint he had some sort of little move left

2:17.3

move right step back make the shot.

2:19.7

But like I said, what I took from it was you had Carl Anthony Towns played one of his

2:24.7

better games.

2:25.2

He had 40 points.

2:26.8

I thought watching the pieces that you wouldn't necessarily see play as much as they did,

2:32.5

like Cola getting the start.
