Hello and welcome to another edition of the next film school pregame show.

My name is Andrew Claudio, aka GMAC, and it's time to preview the next upcoming matchup on Thursday night against the Denver Nuggets.

I'm going to make this intro and eventually the outro a little bit shorter.

Feeling under the weather, but got a jam-packed episode that I think you're going to enjoy.

Ryan Blackburn returns to the show from Mile High Sports.

He hosts two different shows for them.

One, of course, is the Pickax and Roll podcast, an official Denver Nuggets podcast, which is

what you're going to get from him, Denver Nuggets expertise, which they just won the title.

So we get to find out what that's like to be covering a team that just won a championship.

And then, of course, the Bruce Brown of it all, I had to have the

conversation with a Bruce Brown expert. They may have swayed me a little bit, but, you know,

I still maintain my issues, but I'll let you hear the conversation when it comes up. And then he

also hosts a podcast called the Allie Oop podcast. He goes to all the different markets and interviews different beatwriters

from different teams, kind of like a pregame pod. So shout out to Ryan. Thank him again for

coming on. And here is my conversation with Ryan Blackburn of the Pickaxon Roll podcast,

previewing the next matchup on Thursday night against the Denver Nuggets.

Enjoy.

He covers the defending champion Denver Nuggets.

It's the first time I get to have a defending champion on the show.

He is Ryan Blackburn.

Ryan, welcome back to the show.

And it's the first time I've had you on since the Nuggets won.
