0:00.0	What's up, everyone, welcome into the Denver Sports Podcast.
0:14.8	I'm Harrison Wind.
0:15.8	As always, we are presented by Breckenridge Brewery, the official beer at DNVR.
0:21.0	If you stop by the DNVR bar, right where I'm at today, right below me,
0:25.4	you can get a Breckenridge Brewery Christmas ale for six bucks all month long.
0:32.8	And that's a great deal because I don't know if you've had the Christmas ale.
0:36.7	It packs a punch. You have two of those and you've had the Christmas sale. It packs a punch.
0:38.5	You have two of those and you're just like, it's like 7%.

1:41.2	and we'll get to that in one moment. To start off this show, though, I kind of wanted to just give the state of the Nuggets through 22 games.
