| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to group chat. I am Justin Varyer and joining me, Rob Mahoney, Jay Kyle, man. It's going down, fellas. It's the playoffs. I thought you were going to be yelling timber. It is yelling timber. I actually went back and watched that entire thing, like multiple times. The bigger they are, the harder they fall, et cetera, et cetera. Do you know the whole thing? The bigger they are, the harder they ball? |
| 0:38.7 | The bigger, the heart. |
| 0:40.3 | The harder they ball. |
| 0:42.5 | Crossover, pull up, swish, get the J-off, |
| 0:45.8 | Aleup, slam dunk. |
| 0:47.8 | Playoffs. |
| 0:50.0 | See, I'm more of a four minor guy, you know, |
| 0:52.1 | 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% I think, concentrated |
| 0:56.0 | power of will. |
| 0:58.0 | We need to bring it back. |
| 0:59.1 | I don't know what, what is this year's version of that song? |
| 1:01.4 | Do we have anything? |
| 1:03.4 | I don't know what the kids are listening to on TikTok. |
| 1:05.6 | Kyle, are you plugged into that realm? |
| 1:07.5 | No, I was going to say the 100% power of oil era there was the the highlight reel to |
| 1:14.3 | i don't know what the ratio what was but it was very very high i think it was on at one point probably |
| 1:19.0 | like 80% of highlight reels yeah and the percentages too you're kind of trying to keep track of it |
| 1:24.5 | it's like it's like a bernie sanders bit i'm like how are the what percentage Like, I don't, it doesn't totally make sense. But no, we need it. We need to get tapped in on what, what the kids are listened to with the, with the highlight reels. That was a special era too, because it was like, let's take this popular song that already exists. Get the artist to spend upwards of two minutes, like molding what he has onto |
| 1:46.2 | what we're doing. And then that is our opening jam. And then you have a bunch of players who |
| 1:50.8 | clearly are just with the green screen, like kind of fake dancing or giving it 10% while they're |
| 1:56.2 | dancing. And then they mash it all together. And that's your opening to the, every single game. I didn't realize until we're talking about it how much I need this back in my life. So I hope it's not too late. I hope some enterprising production assistant over at Disney, over at, I guess not Turner anymore, over at Amazon, you know, like let's bring it back. My favorite ever was the, I think it was on one of the NBA live games where I forget the group, but they put out a song that just like named teams, but the lyrics was like, what do you know about them, New York Knicks, Phoenix, Sun, Ball and Ball and Ball, and then it would just, it basically would just sub in the names. I was like, that's the dream. If you could come up with a track where you could just go in and punch the names and just print the money, that's my favorite ever. Well, that's how Montel Jordan did it, right? He was going around doing this is how we do it and just subbing out the city name, depending on where he was in the NBA circuit. It's an amazing grift if you can get it. The Ringer NBA show is brought to you by Fandul.
