Today on the podcast recap game five is this thing in every bull now as golden state taking

0:15.2

the three to lead will explain why that feels that way but why it could be wrong and all

0:18.7

the other stuff around it. We got was big was coming to hang out and will update approval

0:23.5

ratings for eight NBA players he does the weekend shows and also full court fits and a heavy

0:30.8

life advice. Is that it? It kind of feels like it's it. After the end of game five golden
