| 0:00.0 | All right, we are very excited to be joined by a man of many tastes. |
| 0:04.8 | Sports is one of them. Our good friend, Ben Shapiro. I didn't even need to intro this guy. |
| 0:09.6 | Just wake up and go outside. It's been, uh, Ben, it's great to see you, my friend. |
| 0:13.2 | Great to see you too. Definitely. It's um, a bracket style situation that we're about to go through. |
| 0:19.4 | And I do want to preface it. And, and we kind of talked about this a little bit earlier. |
| 0:24.2 | The difference between a sports movie and a movie about sports. |
| 0:29.0 | Right. You want, can you, it's, it's an interesting topic because I think there's |
| 0:32.4 | some movies that can fall into categories. How do you define either or? |
| 0:35.8 | Right. So sports movie, if you define it narrowly, a sports movie is a movie that is |
| 0:41.3 | actively about the things that are happening on the field. So, for example, on your list, |
| 0:45.4 | your 61 is a movie about what's happening on the field. It's whether somebody's going to hit 61 |

| 0:58.4 | you know, how is he in the boxing ring? And so there's some movies that seem to be kind of both, |
| 1:03.0 | right? Like Rocky is kind of both. It's about what's happening in the ring. It's an inherent part |
| 1:06.2 | of the plot that's really important. But it's also mostly what's happening outside the rick. |
| 1:10.4 | Um, but that that's kind of a hard divide because the, the ones that are kind of like the purest |
| 1:13.5 | sports movies be like Miracle 61, like things where the actual sporting event is the, is the plot |
| 1:18.5 | point that that matters the absolute most. Hoosiers probably goes on at a list. Um, so the field of dreams, |
| 1:23.7 | arguably not a sports movie. I feel that field of dreams really much more about the relationships |
| 1:27.6 | and really much more about him and his dad and all that kind of stuff. So David, you brought up |
| 1:30.7 | the Big Lebowski a bowling movie, not 100% of bowling movie. I didn't have any part of this list. |
