Happy New Year. It is the Rhine Riscilla podcast and we are broadcasting live started at 8 a.m. on New Year's Day getting ready for these bold games.

And Kyle, I just want to check in with you real quick. I know you're available. You stayed in like an adult. Sounds like Niko to some pop to 2015 red blend.

I know I know I know people aren't going to see it, but it's just I maybe it's just your look, but sometimes I'll say something and I look at your face and I'm like, what's going on here?

No, it's never dismissive. I'm a huge Kyle fan. I just always want to make sure I'm on. Oh really? You think that I'm not a Kyle fan. I don't know how that's not how I want to bring in 2021, bro.

I just want to make sure I understand it. It looks like red blend. What is this guy an idiot? I don't know. No, no, no, no, guys are demanding more Kyle. They would like you to fill in full time and not have me be here.

So we're not going to do that today. We're not going to do that today, but we are going to set you up with today's podcast schedule as much as I love the bold games by the time you know we're taping this again.

Really early out here in the west coast and the games are about to start. I don't want to do this and then there's so many people that listen to it, not right in the moment, especially your holidays.

I probably sleep in one off here a little bit. So I didn't want to talk about these bold games that you know 50% of the audience to games could be over by the time you're listening to this. So even though with Bama Clemson Ohio State Notre Dame, I know the matchups are obviously Bama Notre Dame.

It is kind of funny. You're thinking there's more people rooting for Notre Dame today than probably ever before considering how many people can't stand Notre Dame and their brand. And then you have Ohio State Clemson where it's like, wait, do I root for Davo or do I root for Ohio State fans.

Although Clemson fans admit release the drafts aimed at me from the title game last year because I know I saw some of them as Clemson got off to a good start knowing that I was talking about it's you all year long.

So I just I'll do a big wrap up of it all on Monday. I don't want to make this super dated and start talking about college football matchups that are going to be over by the time some of you guys listen to this.

So we're going to have Adam a mean on who has had an incredible career already at a very young age. He's the full time voice now for the Chicago Bulls on television also part of the NFL on Fox.

So he's the guy that I worked with at the ESPN for a long time. He's got an incredible story. So I want to do that kind of leave an ESPN do something a little bit different with you life advice at the end.

But just a quick weekend plus now observation of the NBA. All right.

This isn't even a flagrant three or incidental content. It's just a three point study. So a little bit of math here, but not really anything crazy.

It's actually numbers. It's not even math. Okay. So as we've seen all of these blowouts going into games couple nights ago 25% of the games were decided by 20 points or more league average last year was 17%.

We brought this up before there's just nights. Yes, there are close games, but there's way too many nights you're like this teams down 40 again. And it's happening all the time. I have multiple theories.

We can talk about the quick turnaround. I know some will only say that's the only reason, but it's just not the same. I mean some teams haven't played him forever and other teams played.

You know 70 plus games out when you're talking about the Lakers and the heat. So I don't know that it's just turnaround. It could be new pieces.

I think defensive rotations are a mess for some of these teams new pieces. You know what else is kind of just sneaky weird that I keep seeing all the time.

Embounding why the fuck is inbounding so hard for you guys?

The big guy will be standing at the baseline ready to imbound after making everybody's gone. I'm seeing it constantly where they don't have their imbounds set up.
