0:06The Bill Simmons podcast brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network, where we put up the re-speed on Monday.
0:14Includes maybe the hardest I've ever laughed during a rewatchables.
0:18It was me and Sean Fennison and Chris Ryan.
0:20Great podcast.
0:23Another banger coming next week.
0:26Monday, Apollo 13.
0:28Yeah, it's been one of the more requested ones that we've had over the last few years.
0:33So Apollo 13, you have a few days to watch it.
0:36Go check it out.
0:37And then Monday we'll have that.
0:39Next week, I'm all football next week, just so you know.
0:43The fantasy guys are coming on Tuesday.
0:45Danny, Danny, and Craig, we're going to do the My Guy Fantasy thing.
0:49Cousin Sal Thursday, we're doing, I think, NFC win total over-unders, which we've done every year since 1872.
0:57And then Sunday will be the other conference for over-unders.
