podcast network where we put up a new rewatchables on monday night we did can't hardly wait which was the height of the teen high school movies in the late 1990s it was me and joanna robinson you can watch that as a video podcast on spotify you can also watch that on the ringer movies youtube channel if you miss celtic city on hbo and on max we put up episode seven which was the uh
the very depressing 1990s, including Rick Pitino, who's in the documentary, and Ryan Russillo. You've heard him on this podcast, but he was in there as well. You can check out the first seven episodes of Celtic City on Max. So there you go. Coming up on this podcast, I'm going to talk to Kurt Goldsberry about the playing games tonight, Tuesday night.
Some awards stuff, some best shooter stuff, some playoff stuff. And then after that, Nikon President WWE. He comes on at least once a year. We talk wrestling, we talk UFC, boxing, and a bunch of sports media stuff. So that's the podcast. First, our friends from Pearl Jam. All right, taping this a little after 10 o'clock. Just watched Gold State hold off Memphis in the playing game.
It was a fascinating one. Kurt Goldsberry, I love the playing game. 8-9 is great. Super fun. We get a blowout. We get a fun game. We get some young trade rumors coming out of the first game and then the second game. Memphis, a team that I was not a huge fan of, who I think is now 12 and 18 in their last 30, put up a spirited fight.
There's a couple moments of this game where I was wondering if Golden State was actually going to blow this and be in this bizarre scenario of losing to San Antonio, losing in overtime in the last day of the season, then blowing this Memphis game at home, and now all of a sudden fighting for their lives just to play OKC, who just won 68 games, but instead they escaped. Now they play Houston.
What was your big takeaway watching this game?
Oh, it shouldn't have been that close. It was a frustrating game for both teams, honestly. And Steph Curry, I mean, two giant threes. You know, I think he's bookended his season before the season, that masterpiece in Paris. And now to wrap up the regular season and secure the playoff spot for his team, two just classic Curry threes when they needed him most. It was an incredible moment.
