Are You Okay with This?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:02)
Are you really okay with this?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:04)
Are you okay? Everything's gonna be okay.
Are you okay?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:09)
Yeah, I'm fine.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:11)
I'm pretty f***ing far from okay.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:14)
Are you okay with this? On the Hammer and Nigel Show.
Okay, so we just had that call, that sports call, of the grounds crew chasing around that squirrel at a Major League Baseball game last night, right? It was Jason Benetti on the call. Benetti's awesome, by the way. He is really good. He's really good. And we reposted that footage at Hammer and Nigel on X. Now, I'll see you that and raise you this one. This is being built. I've got the best sports call you're going to hear all week, and it's not the one where everybody's chasing around the squirrel.
It's from the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. The announcers are going nuts because their team has previously lost 11 times in the finals. Here's the moment they win for the first time in 75 years.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:08)
Get it out of there. Get it out of there.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:11)
They have men loose. They have 30 seconds to go.
Sounds like they were being murdered. Are you OK with that kind of sports call?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:39)
I love that.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:41)
OK.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:41)
Like, this level of, as they call it, football in Ireland is a huge deal. Like, I had no idea. When we took our trip over there, about a month ago, like, they're more into that stuff, like rugby and their soccer leagues than they are anything else.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:00)
It was a weird form of... It looked like they were playing soccer, but they were allowed to touch it with their hands and kick it and stuff like that.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:07)
So they get into it, and they gamble on it over there, and they bet on it, and they've got little casino parlors where you can do it. Not that I would know anything about that.
No, but no, yeah, this is something I'm totally OK with, because you know these announcers, they're probably like Harry Carrey was back when the Cubs games used to be on WGN. They were probably about eight or nine Guinness deep by the time the end of that game rolled around, and they were ready for a celebration. So hell yeah, that's fantastic.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:35)
A guy who makes song parodies on TikTok.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:38)
Oh God.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:40)
You might like this one. He's got one for LeBron James, who's moving to the Philadelphia 76ers. Here's part of it.
LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, are you OK with that song parody?

**SPEAKER_3** (3:25)
I stand corrected.
I may have to get a TikTok account. I don't know.
That's pretty funny. That's pretty strong. Now, look, maybe I'm just a homer here, but I'm not buying that the Sixers all of a sudden are like this big team to beat in the East. The Knicks are still the champions. They still got Jalen Brunson, who's in his prime. And as much as I hate the New York Knicks, Brunson's a dude, man. He's so good.
And listen, these Indiana Pacers are coming back. I know. I know what you're saying. They had one of the worst years of anybody in the league last year, but it was a total tank job. And they've got Halliburton coming back. It might take him a couple months to get into the flow. But I saw a video of him doing a dunk between his legs the other day. So that's encouraging. You've got a really good deep bench. You picked up Oubre. You still got TJ McConnell, Obie. I like the bench. And now you brought in one of the best centers in the league. So you got somebody that can rough up Joel Embiid, something Miles Turner used to have a problem with. So I'm excited for the Pacers. I may be more excited for the Pacers than I am the Colts right now. I know that's kind of a bummer to say because training camp literally starts tomorrow for the Colts.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:44)
We'll cross that Pacers bridge when we come to it, but right now we got the Colts ahead of us. I'm excited for the Colts season.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:52)
Like I'm excited for it, but I don't expect much.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:56)
You don't have big expectations for the Colts?

**SPEAKER_3** (4:58)
I don't, man. I just don't. I wish I did. I really do.
I hope Daniel Jones is a dude, and I hope the defense shows up, and Saul Skardiner has a bunch of picks, but it just feels like there's no mojo for this upcoming season right now. I hope I'm wrong, but I think more people right now feel like the Pacers are the story more so than the Colts. Could be wrong.
