And now, Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

What's up, everybody?

Happy Thanksgiving from myself and Bucky Brooks as we kick off another Thanksgiving

Day version of Move the Sticks.

How are you doing, man? Man, I'm great, DJ. I love this time of year. We talked about it on one of the last spots about just family coming together, being able to kind of reflect and count all the blessings that you've had. Sometimes life is so chaotic. We don't appreciate all the things that have kind of come out way. So this is a great time for reflection. Yeah, I think that's where we start, man. We'll get into these Thanksgiving games and the Black Friday game, which is a fun slate of games and preview those in just a minute. But I do think it is important and not just on Thanksgiving, but at all times. I think a grateful heart's a happy heart. And I know the two of us have so much to be thankful for. I don't know what the number is now, Buck. I know we're over a thousand, right? Didn't we celebrate our thousand not long ago? So we've been doing the show for over a decade. And we've been friends for over 20 years. And it's a pinch me. We have a we have a pinch me life that we get to do this, you know, five days a week. And somehow they're paying us for this whole thing. It is kind of crazy when you think about it, right? Like you kind of think about like how life takes to twist and turns and kind of push you in a position to do these things. Like like what can be better than talking about talking ball

all day every day and being able to do it with people that you're close to people that you have

a ton of respect with not just you but think about all the others who were part of the moot the sticks

team behind the scenes you're thinking about red and lance and so many other guys that pop on

it's really been a great ride and when you look at the the landscape, it speaks volumes to like our connection, but also

the help of so many of us, so many of the people around us to make sure this thing is

always going.

Yeah, I think about the thousands and thousands of shows that have come and gone during

our run here and to be able to still be doing it with the same partner in Buck. And then we've had a whole host of producers. Gavin's the latest has done a great job. They've all got on to bigger and better. I mean, he's been a nice little launching pad for a lot of these producers. When you bring that up, it makes you think about Sully and Jodakai.

Yeah.

And not knowing Joe to see.

So I think about him.

I think about TD who's going on to do great things with way sports and entertainment.

I think about all the other people that have kind of popped in and done different things.

The bill has gone on and done this stuff.

It's just like so many. Kent was involved for a good little bit. Got a lot of different guys, man. But it's been fun. And in terms of things that we're thankful for, you know what? I'm thankful. You mentioned this the other day. But I knocked out a couple guys this morning on the draft. And buck, I kind of, the reason I like doing it this way, I know some people say,
