Hip and the Lip

The Hip dumbfounds the Lip with James Harden’s best impression of the “black hole of basketball.”  They segue into NFL “championship sunday” including the Hip’s donning of his “legal fedora” that perfectly captures the bounds of OUTRAGE towards the blown PI call in the NFC game.  The Lip bemoans yet another Pats appearance in the “big game” due to an OT rule which he demands to be changed, while the Hip takes a “too bad” angle while providing a “proof is in the pudding” stat of how the Pats kept wunderkind Pat Mahomes in check.  The PREVIEW begins with the boys concurring that Todd Gurley must show up for the Rams to emerge victorious and the perhaps the Hip has more faith in “boy wonder” Sean McVay than the Lip. The Lip asks viewers to watch the “fat guys” in the middle when the Rams have the ball and yet again singles out Aaron Donald.  Ultimately the Lip goes against every fiber of his being with his pick, while the Hip is still bedazzled by the uncanny prowess of the sideline general of the Rams with his pick. The guys cap off their “bowl” preview with a prediction as to the “real star” of Super Bowl 53, a former Hip fantasy favorite, and a national sensation in the CBS booth to which the Hip asks, “Why didn’t anyone else do this before?”  A brief “best team in NY” soliloquy from the Lip, and the Hip’s follow up to his Michigan b-ball (over exuberant?) unrecorded hot take from last episode. The HMOZ features a less than Romo-esque performance at the Pro Bowl, plus a “lewd” segment on Arizona politics that might make you just a bit turgid!
