Hello beautiful people and welcome to our Humble of the Bo, the Thunderdown.

On this watch Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025.

This program begins now.

Football!

It is magical and we're lucky to talk about it every single day, but I'll tell you what, the NBA brought it last night, the NHL brought it last night, the MLB is obviously cooking with fire, and we're about a little bit over 24 hours away from week eight of the NFL season kicking off. We're in the middle of a great time for you live. We're appreciative of the fact that we get to do this. We'll have Shom Sharani are joining us in about 15 minutes or so. Can't wait to catch up with him about all the NBA stuff that we need to know after an exhilarating start for the association yesterday. I mean, they had a double overtime thriller and then into the late late night. They had Steph Curry and Luca putting on a show. Now granted, that Lakers team certainly looks a certain way without LeBron James on that particular court. But Luca looks a little different too. 40 plus points, obviously one rebound or assist or forget away from a triple double.

And they look great.

But Hemie Butler and Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors appear to be the real deal.

But nobody, and I mean nobody appears to be able to topple this Oklahoma City team

and what SGA was able to do in that first game.

This whole Houston Rockets with Kevin Durant dynamic is certainly awesome. And I love the fact that Kevin Durant gets to experience a new city and do a new thing with a new team and earn his rank. He's still an absolute dog. They got Big Turk on their team too. They got this big Turkish fella. Sengen. Sangu. Sangu. Big Turk. I'm sorry. Ball. This guy's an absolute ball. Houston Rockets were a good team. Young team. They get Kevin Durand. He's obviously a weapon. They're going to be good this year. They losing a heartbreaker to this Oklahoma City team. And at one point during this game, Alex Cruso, yes, that guy you're talking about, tried to go over top of three dudes in overtime. Okay, in a two-point game, Caruso's going for it. They all got maximum confidence over there because they obviously just won the title. The Dorcher Chamber is still locked down. And SGA can get a bucket whenever he has to. The NBA had a hot start. They got a lot of games today.

We appreciate them doing that.

And then in the NHL, there was a magical moment up there in Boston.

Now, we'll obviously chit-chat about that in a matter of moments.

We have 12-year NFL vet, Super Bowl champion, player coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

the Jackie Moon of the NFL, if you will.

Ladies and a gentleman, Akew Shepley. Hey, Kew. How you doing, Akew? Great boys. You're a big NBA guy. I know you were all excited and jacked up. You've always been a big time Jordan's Bear and LeBron guy since the beginning of time. And since the beginning of that conversation started becoming a daily conversation on sports television channels all over the world. Last night he debuted his commentating stuff.

Now, that was alongside an entire NBC package that I think did a fantastic job in a rollout.

It felt big.

Ty Toreko's voice on it makes it feel big.

And then Maria Taylor is obviously synonymous with massive moments. She comes like college game day now she's on Sunday night football football night in

America host and halftime show hosts she feels like she's a part of something big then you
