Coming up, a wild, raucous weekend of NBA action. It's all next.
Jeder Läufer kennt diesen Moment, wenn es einfach klickt. Wenn deine Beine einfach mitgehen, der Schmerz nachlässt, die Zweifel weg sind und du nur noch das Runner's High spürst. Das ist der Grund, warum du so früh aufstehst. Warum dich ein bisschen Regen nicht auffällt. Warum Laufen zum Ritual wird. Also laufe und fühle das Runner's High. Go wild!
We're also brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network, where Avenue Rewatch was going up on Monday night. It is a one for us. It's just me and Chris Ryan. We went old school. We just picked a movie we really like that's on Tubi a lot. It's called Someone to Watch Over Me. It stars Tom Barringer, Mimi Rogers.
It came out 35 years ago, maybe even longer than that, and directed by Ridley Scott, and we love it. So we just decided to dive in. I'm going to make it up to you the week after because we're doing a huge movie the week after. So there you go. Last episode of Celtic City is going to be on HBO 9 p.m. ET. That's it. Nine episodes and we're done.
This was an episode that we worked on not knowing how last season was going to play out. And then, of course, last season played out the title. So we had to make some stuff around. But I'm really proud of this series. You can watch all the other episodes on Max. And then this will be the last one. And then binge it.
If you haven't watched it yet, maybe wait till the NBA playoffs, calm down a little bit and dive in. But we're really proud of it. If you're an NBA fan, I don't understand why you wouldn't enjoy watching this. So there you go. Coming up on this podcast.
So this is a weird one because Ryan Russell and I went live right after the Indiana Milwaukee game, which featured, unfortunately, a pretty dramatic moment. Not great for Dame Lord. But so we talked about the whole weekend and then. Me, Russell, and Ben Lathan, we taped right after the Lakers-Minnesota game and talked about the NFL draft as well. So that's the second hour of the podcast.
