The Bill Simmons Podcast is brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network, where we put up a new Rewatchables on Monday night. It's The Gambler with me and Chris Ryan. It was a one for us. We had a great time. 10-minute serial conversation there.
You can find all of it on the Ringer Movies YouTube channel. This Monday coming up, we are going to do a Christmas movie. We did Home Alone 2. It was with Kyle Brandt. It was the first time we'd ever done a podcast together in the same room. So that part was fun. But this is, we had a blast doing this one. So that's coming on Monday. You'll be able to watch that actually on Spotify. And you can watch that on the Ringer Movies YouTube channel as well. You can watch all the videos from this podcast on the Bill Simmons YouTube channel. And we just launched a Ringer TV YouTube channel that's got the Watch app. It has the Prestige TV pod, has a bunch of fun Hall of Fame stuff and like direct to video stuff that we did. That's where we did the Landman thing last week.
So please go subscribe to that as well. We're also brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook, where we've been doing these 30 on 30 profit boost tokens every Friday. I've been boosting 30 point scores for you. If they get to 30 points and you bet it, you get boosted. I tweet out my picks on Friday and I did really well the first three weeks. Last week was not well, but it was weird. It was one of those weeks where there wasn't a lot of scoring. So be sure to claim the PBT, place your 30 on 30 bet for Friday. Just look for 30 on 30. on the FanDuel Sportsbook app. Coming up, gonna talk to House and Big Waz about the NBA Cup. Big picture, did this work? How can we fix it? What should it look like next year? So we did that. And why has the NFL cast such a shadow over the NBA?
It makes me mad. Anyway, we talked about that too. Then House stayed for million dollar picks. Then Peter Schrager came on to talk about dysfunction with the Jets, the weird Christmas schedule, and all the strange coaching stuff that might be happening pretty soon. It is all next. First, our friends from Pearl Jam. All right, it's 2 p.m. Pacific time. Joe House is here because we're going to do Million Dollar Picks in a little bit. Big Waz is here. He was just in Las Vegas for the NBA Cup. Is it still going or is it finally over?
I mean, I was only there for the semifinals. I got back on Sunday. But it's done. The Bucs, I heard the Bucs won in Giannis. Played well.
Oh, is that what happened? Yeah. So walk us through the Vegas piece of this and whether it's a good idea, because I really I really want us the three of us to help the NBA. I think the NBA needs help in a bunch of different ways with their scheduling and some of their idea generation. But what what worked for you in Vegas and what didn't work for you?
