Coming up, I'm going to talk about a new sport I just heard about, basketball. It's next. We're also brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network. I put up a new Rewatchables last night. We did Someone to Watch Over Me. It is a movie with Tom Barringer, Mimi Rogers, and Lorraine Bracco from 1987, directed by Ridley Scott. It is an absolute cable classic. It was a one for us, for me and Chris Ryan.
I broke down during this pod about as hard as I've ever laughed during a podcast. Uh, it gets super goofy. And, uh, after we do one for us, we always like to do a giant movie. So a giant movie is coming next week. Stay tuned for that. I hope you're checking out the ringer.com.
Hope you're checking about all of our, uh, ringer podcast stuff, the bill Simmons, YouTube channel, which we go live on Sundays with Priscilla. We kind of staggered it. We did a late live and an early one with Priscilla and van on Sunday. That was super fun. Fan duel, by the way, I've been working with them. we're going to start this new gimmick on Wednesday with Lakers-Timberwolves game five.
You can tail or fade my pick. Each week, I'm going to pick a player prop I'm going to go in. I'm going to say what I think is going to happen. You can either believe me or not believe me. I just hit on Sunday, I hit a plus 921 four-leg parlay. It was pretty impressive, I got to say. Let's see if I can keep the momentum going.
So I have LeBron over nine and a half rebounds, I think is going to be the one. You can either back me or you can go against me. But if you do it, FanDuel is offering you an opportunity to have a 50% boost Either way. So you win if you like what I thought or you want to go against what I thought. Anyway, check out Fando Sportsbook on Wednesday to see what boost I'm betting, what bet I'm boosting.
I just told you what it was. And then you can apply that profit boost. I love when the customers ride with me. I've been decent. So there you go. Coming up on this podcast. Kurt Goldsberry and I, we watched four basketball games. I was watching some hockey too. And we're reacting right afterwards to everything we saw.
And then a little bit later, Zach Lowe, he came on last week on a Tuesday and we banged something fun. We did it again this week. We want to talk about Draymond Green and we want to look forward to Timberwolves Lakers. So that is the podcast today. First, our friends from Pearl Jam.
