Speaker 1: The Lakers fell to the Warriors last night on Tuesday
Speaker 1: night on the home floor at the Crypt. Yeah, somebody
Speaker 1: told me that the Warrior's gonna make twenty six threes
Speaker 1: and Draymond is gonna be five or five the first half.
Speaker 1: Steph Curry is gonna be five or five or six
Speaker 1: or six. Klay Thompson always shoots the lights out of
Speaker 1: the building when he comes uh for the most part.
Speaker 1: During this week's episode of mind Game podcast with Lebron
Speaker 1: shares with JJ Reddick, he explained why it's so difficult
Speaker 1: to guard Steph. He said, guarding step is uncomfortable, and
Speaker 1: the problem with guys in our league, they're not comfortable
Speaker 1: being uncomfortable. And that's why Stephan Golden State was all
Speaker 1: will always be relevant because they play an uncomfortable style
Speaker 1: of play. When ask if he hates the Warrior style
Speaker 1: of play, Lebron responded, I hate it when you don't
Speaker 1: have the personnel to match up.
Speaker 2: I hate it. No, No, that's facts. Right, Steph has
Speaker 2: been a.
Speaker 4: Unique He's been a unique star that no one has
Speaker 4: put the emphasis on. And that is his conditioning. In
Speaker 4: this movie, we we have scud none. We have changed
Speaker 4: the lead to mimic Golden State Warrior Steph Curry without
Speaker 4: dissecting Steph Curry for who Steph Curry is.
Speaker 2: Yes, he can shoot the ball, that's not his skill.
Speaker 2: His skill is he's very.
Speaker 4: Great moving without the ball in inpeckable shape.
Speaker 2: Right. That allows him to move and move like he.
Speaker 4: Has the Rip Hamilton mixed in with the Miller, the
Speaker 4: Reggie Miller. Right, you have a guy who's moving one
Speaker 4: hundred miles an hour all the time. So you if
Speaker 4: you're not in shape his shape to keep up with him, right,
Speaker 4: you are not comfortable guarding him. And the problem that
Speaker 4: is the problem with him that he himself, by far
Speaker 4: in the last ten years and then nine to nine
Speaker 4: ten years, has been probably the most in shape basketball player.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like his usage of running and moving without them
Speaker 5: the ball is on another level and that is what
Speaker 5: makes him great.
Speaker 1: And how do you keep because when we get tired,
Speaker 1: we're not the same people. You don't can't you can't
Speaker 1: run the route with the same ferocity. That's why when
Speaker 1: guys run a couple of goals in the two minagery,
Speaker 1: they tap the head and they come out and somebody
Speaker 1: else comes in.
Speaker 2: He has to maintain that pace.
Speaker 1: And you know, he might start he might start at
Speaker 1: the top, and then he'll go up under and then
Speaker 1: he'll come through.
Speaker 2: He just weave his way through.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's in and out of traffic, and you
Speaker 1: could never relax with him. The moment you relax is
Speaker 1: that's when you get bit. It's kind of like playing
Speaker 1: Steph curR is like being a snake handler. If you
Speaker 1: ever relax, you get bit. You relax, he's gonna splash
Speaker 1: your three in your eyes. And then when you try
Speaker 1: to overplay him back door and then he lays the
Speaker 1: ball up.
Speaker 2: So it's so hard to be right with him.
Speaker 1: And yeah, we've never seen we've never seen anything like him.
Speaker 1: He's so great that they she's changed the way the
Speaker 1: league plays. Everybody wants to find Steph Curry. Everybody wants
Speaker 1: to find out they can launch up three and you
Speaker 1: gotta sell you gotta sell them five guys.
Speaker 2: That shooting threes. Yeah, yeah, I can tell you right now.
Speaker 4: The problem with that is you're never gonna find another
Speaker 4: step Courry because you.
Speaker 2: Rest too much.
Speaker 4: You got too many days off, right, he ain't taking
Speaker 4: a day off.
Speaker 2: From uh from cardio.
Speaker 4: No. This reminds me of Steve Nash when we when
Speaker 4: we had to guard Steve Nash the week before we
Speaker 4: got to them, I was doing extra trademill stuff even
Speaker 4: though we're gonna have three or four games before we
Speaker 4: get into them, because I do it. Every time we scored,
Speaker 4: he was gone. So for the most part, I'm always
Speaker 4: in full speed. There was no walking the ball like
Speaker 4: for me to get rest, I had to walk the
Speaker 4: ball up right.
Speaker 2: I had to wrestle offense against Steve Nash.
Speaker 4: Right, that's the same thing with with with with with Kurby.
Speaker 4: You have the rest on your offense because when he
Speaker 4: has the ball, you're you're, you're, You're in full speed
Speaker 4: the whole time.
Speaker 2: So and the problem is it's just not steph it's play.
Speaker 2: Also Also that's the problem.
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's a pawn and it's like, you
Speaker 1: know what, there's a gator in there. Okay, I see
Speaker 1: the gate over there, but it's that damn, it's two
Speaker 1: of them, two of them and that's the problem. And
Speaker 1: then you had Kevin Durant. That's I mean, it was,
Speaker 1: it was, it was, it was. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: it's just amazing. But I'm gonna just be honest with you.
Speaker 2: We ain't worry about them right now. Okay, we're not
Speaker 2: worried about all they.
Speaker 4: Shotting and shooting that they did they timp spots.
Speaker 1: Steal yeah, yeah, we uh we didn't. They didn't have
Speaker 1: it last night. De loc didn't have it going last night.
Speaker 1: Lebron Lebron was what thirty three, eleven and seven played.
Speaker 1: Prayed played really well. Uh Reeves played really well, but
Speaker 1: we needed we need to deload and hit some of
Speaker 1: them threes early to match, and every time they got
Speaker 1: it close, they got it to four.
Speaker 2: And then GP GP the second he hit a couple.
Speaker 1: Uh Wiggins couldn't miss from three last night. You I've
Speaker 1: been I can I can tell. I can tell the
Speaker 1: way the game said when Draymond hit that's here we go.
Speaker 1: I said, if Draymond hit the what the hell you
Speaker 1: think Stephen Klay gonna do if he.
Speaker 2: Hit them like this is listen. I was hoping Phoenix lost.
Speaker 2: I hope they have I was hoping they lost, but
Speaker 2: they took that win on.
Speaker 4: And this is getting crunchy because Golden State got three games,
Speaker 4: that Blazer's Pelicans Jazz, which bigger win, all those.
Speaker 2: They gonna they canna if they get Now.
Speaker 4: This is the problem, this is this is what's relicans. Okay,
Speaker 4: this is what's good. If if New Orleans loses to
Speaker 4: Golden they got to play Golden State and the Lakers.
Speaker 4: If they lose the both of us, they can be
Speaker 4: in the eight seed. Phoenix can go to the sixth seed.
Speaker 4: We can get the seventh seed. We need to be
Speaker 4: seventh seed. You need to win one game and you
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. And and I think that's what's gonna
Speaker 4: happen because because.
Speaker 2: New Orleans, New Orleans have what they got three more games?
Speaker 4: Yeah right, they got Golden State, Lakers and what the Grizzlies, right, yeah.
Speaker 1: The Lakers. The Lakers got the Grizzlies on Friday. We
Speaker 1: got the grit we got so we got two games.
Speaker 1: We got the Grizzlies and the Pelicans left. Where do
Speaker 1: they play the Pelicans in New Orleans? They don't even matter.
Speaker 1: We were smacking both of them. But they need to Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: We So what happens is if Golden States beats Great
Speaker 4: is least.
Speaker 2: Who else plays again?
Speaker 4: Go to State has Grizzlies, we have If Grizzlies lose
Speaker 4: two more games, they are no never mind because they
Speaker 4: only got they only got thirty two losses and.
Speaker 1: The Lakers got thirty four right of thirty five. Huh
Speaker 1: Lakers got what thirty four thirty five? We got thirty five? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So they need to lose out. They need to lose out.
Speaker 4: But even if they get to the seventh spot, if
Speaker 4: we can get to the sixth fot because Sacramento has
Speaker 4: they got Sons and the Blazers.
Speaker 2: So they go one and one and we go too.
Speaker 2: And oh they needed that. They needed one of those games.
Speaker 1: They either needed the game last night or the game
Speaker 1: that AD went down in preferably. We were trying to
Speaker 1: we're trying to get out of Denvisie. I'm so we're
Speaker 1: trying to get out of them. Aside, you mess righting,
Speaker 1: you mess right to be out of the NBA. I
Speaker 1: you'll be out to you be out to play here,
Speaker 1: play out. We can't get out to play it. We
Speaker 1: we were good, we solid, everybody, everybody to play in
Speaker 1: solid uh NBA Scouts project Bronnie James to be a
Speaker 1: Patrick Beverley two point zero according to the latest project
Speaker 1: projection from Scouts, Brownie upside compared to veterans like Patrick
Speaker 1: Beverly and other small defensive oriented guards. The ringer said
Speaker 1: James project as more of a disruptor. Comparison is like
Speaker 1: beads of Patrick by Beverly, Devion Mitchell, Norris Cole. Beverly
Speaker 1: has had long had the longest career of the three
Speaker 1: because he's the best shooter of thirty three point shooter
Speaker 1: from three, but all three were respectable defenders. Brownie will
Speaker 1: follow in their footsteps to catch on on with a
Speaker 1: winning team.
Speaker 2: What you think? What do you? What do you?
Speaker 1: What do you think? What's his what's his upside? What's
Speaker 1: the best Brownie can be?
Speaker 4: Oh, it's difficult because he has a Westbrook engine right,
Speaker 4: so he has a forty three inch vert. He has
Speaker 4: all the fast touched muscles, so he has Westbrook's engine
Speaker 4: in him right. He uses a very defense. He can
Speaker 4: pass the ball, he has great vision. He knows how
Speaker 4: to plays very unselfish, which he's too unselfish. He can
Speaker 4: hit the shot didn't didn't shoot very well and in
Speaker 4: college so far. But when when he turns it on,
Speaker 4: he turns it on, he can be He can be
Speaker 4: a more explosive Drew Holiday type of player.
Speaker 2: Okay, right, Patrick Beverley is defense. Patrick Beverley was a score.
Speaker 4: But Patrick Bedley didn't have the the the physical tools
Speaker 4: to be a be a good offensive player right in
Speaker 4: at the NBA level.
Speaker 2: I mean, he averaged thirty seven in high school.
Speaker 4: But uh, to be a guy you can get like
Speaker 4: you're there's gonna be times where.
Speaker 2: You get a switch on Ronnie. Ronnie's taking it to
Speaker 2: the basket right, and he can jump.
Speaker 4: So he's not offensively minded, but he has the tools.
Speaker 4: So the people he named the people they name that
Speaker 4: he can his game is after He's way more athletic
Speaker 4: and skilled than those guys.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you think he'll be a first round, late
Speaker 1: first round pick this year or is he going back
Speaker 1: to school?
Speaker 4: I think it's one of those things where you test it, right,
Speaker 4: this is the advantage. This is the advantage that we
Speaker 4: these kids have today. I'm going back to school, but
Speaker 4: I get to test it now. If I test it
Speaker 4: and ace to test, I'm saying, I'm staying in the draft. Right,
Speaker 4: There's been guys that they were projected late first the matrix, right,
Speaker 4: Sean Mariy late first round, had a standout workout lottery right, right,
Speaker 4: he had he went from late first to a lottery pick.
Speaker 4: So you know, he goes out there and he starts
Speaker 4: showing that his real attribute.
Speaker 2: You start putting him against other players that's.
Speaker 4: Supposed to be drafted in the first round, right, and
Speaker 4: he can put himself against some of those guys and
Speaker 4: he's ding up and getting to the basket. He can
Speaker 4: shoot in the draft. But for the most part, you
Speaker 4: go and test the waters. You go back to school.
Speaker 4: You got Musclming coming in. Offensively minded guy, plays four guards,
Speaker 4: up tempo, shoot a lot of threes, probably put some
Speaker 4: more offense into his mind, where, hey, I need you
Speaker 4: to be more selfish, right, I need you to selfish
Speaker 4: And let him average about anywhere from ten to sixteen
Speaker 4: next year and then into the draft.
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook says he's the best NBA's bench player. He said,
Speaker 1: ain't nobody better than me coming off the bench, and
Speaker 1: this league Russ Preus provided. Russ has provided eleven point
Speaker 1: per game five rebounds and a little under five assists,
Speaker 1: often providing the spark off the bench with his energy,
Speaker 1: attacking and aggression and playmaking. Is Russell Westbrook the best
Speaker 1: player off the bench this season?
Speaker 4: Okay, well, okay, you have to put it in the
Speaker 4: context that he is putting it in right.
Speaker 1: First, he's the most you know, he's the most accomplished
Speaker 1: player coming off the bench. He's not better this year
Speaker 1: than Malik Monk coming off the bench.
Speaker 4: But but he don't have Milik Monk's time. You give
Speaker 4: him Elik Monk's time, He's gonna be better than Milik Monk.
Speaker 2: That's what he's that's the energy's saying.
Speaker 4: You know right now, with the time he has and
Speaker 4: the team he has, he's averaging eleven four and five.
Speaker 2: That is not Westbrook, right right?
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, with the number that but for the
Speaker 1: amount of time that he's getting, I mean he's got
Speaker 1: decent numbers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you know.
Speaker 4: The Westbrook that he's saying that I got, I got
Speaker 4: three other Hall of Famers playing.
Speaker 2: I have to sacrifice.
Speaker 4: You put me on the bench, you give me bench
Speaker 4: time with the elite guys who's getting bench time?
Speaker 2: Oh I'm blowing in numbers out of the way.
Speaker 4: I'm age eighteen seven and seven and stuff like that,
Speaker 4: So I understand where he's coming from.
Speaker 2: Where he's coming from.
Speaker 4: When it comes to this game of basketball, and we
Speaker 4: talking about going out there playing, Ain't nobody coming off
Speaker 4: this bench.
Speaker 2: Better than me? Right? Yeah, playing twenty two minutes.
Speaker 4: But I'm playing twenty two minutes because I got James Harden,
Speaker 4: I got Paul George and Kawhi in.
Speaker 2: Front of me, right, That's who I got in front
Speaker 2: of me.
Speaker 1: I don't him with Norman Powell might be better than he is.
Speaker 1: Right now, do you know how many minutes Norman Power
Speaker 1: you to night?
Speaker 4: But but but Norman Power is supposed to score. My
Speaker 4: job being to score. My job is to give Norman
Speaker 4: powder ball. I'm spoking, I'm giving him the ball. That's
Speaker 4: why he looks good. But if you want me to
Speaker 4: go out there and get you a twenty and cut
Speaker 4: everybody off, yeah, we might not win shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, show you what I got to take twenty six.
Speaker 1: Norman Power averages twenty six minutes a game. Maya, I
Speaker 1: don't think Russ is that? What is Russ?
Speaker 4: Russ might be like eighty twenty two twenty two. Yeah,
Speaker 4: what is malikue Monk? I mean, Monk might be at
Speaker 4: like twenty eight. I got to be a twenty eight.
Speaker 4: I mean it don't look like minutes a league Monk player.
Speaker 4: Malague was balling for he tweet that knee. I mean,
Speaker 4: he was going crazy. He was gonna win it. And
Speaker 4: I still believe he will win six Man of the Year.
Speaker 4: I think he's done enough. Milik is the only.
Speaker 1: Average twenty six minutes a night only only, but you're
Speaker 1: the go to guy.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a good but that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: There's a difference Malik coming in as a go to
Speaker 4: score or Russ book is I'm running the team.
Speaker 2: But two different jobs. You know, it's two different jobs. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that has to do different things.
Speaker 1: But I think Russ in his role, uh does a
Speaker 1: great job. Malik in his role. I hated to see
Speaker 1: Malik go, Damn. I wanted to Kim stay with the Lakers.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine him coming off the bench with the Lakers.
Speaker 4: But then that's who we need, That's what we need
Speaker 4: off the bench right now.
Speaker 2: Who I mean we we.
Speaker 1: Normally we had we had good production with Ruin coming
Speaker 1: off the bench, but now the guy that was started
Speaker 1: in front of the road was so bad we had
Speaker 1: to put Ruige to the starting lineup. Oh man, I
Speaker 1: can't wait that Christian Woods put that Damn.
Speaker 2: I can't wait till he get back. Are you coming
Speaker 2: back this year?
Speaker 4: I think he's still I think he's still in Porto Ranch,
Speaker 4: stuck at the girls house, still trying to find himself.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you don't. Jumped the fence and got it
Speaker 1: tired and flat. The man put him on, put him on, float,
Speaker 1: put him on.
Speaker 4: I don't trust the dude who don't know how to
Speaker 4: serve a person where you know where she lived. She
Speaker 4: knew how to jump your damn gate and take your
Speaker 4: license plate off, but you don't know to serve her
Speaker 4: with no papers.
Speaker 2: Come on, doll, Yeah man, y'all did I mean come on?
Speaker 4: She em?
Speaker 2: How about this way? As she jump your gate? Got
Speaker 2: you're looking at the wrong house. Stop looking at her house.
Speaker 2: Look at your house. She's somewhere high in your garage. Damn,
Speaker 2: but I can't find look look on your cabin.
Speaker 1: But they got to they got a kid together, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I think a lot of that has
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 2: I don't you know, I don't want to be the.
Speaker 4: One to put put my put my kids mom in jail.
Speaker 4: And I you know, I mean, I really, I mean sometimes,
Speaker 4: you know, sometimes you have to do what you have
Speaker 4: to do.
Speaker 2: But I was always conscious of that.
Speaker 1: Now I'm not so sure it was always reciprocated, but
Speaker 1: you know, I'm very I was very conscious of, like,
Speaker 1: damn that my kid was gonna grow up, go grow up.
Speaker 1: Was they're like, my dad put my mom and had
Speaker 1: my mom put in jail. I had my mom arrested,
Speaker 1: and I did. I didn't want that. I didn't want
Speaker 1: that on my conscious. But I also, you know, jumping
Speaker 1: the man fancy scratching his car and not doing all
Speaker 1: kind of poolicees next time out for that.
Speaker 2: Don't don't be don't don't don't be that.
Speaker 4: You know what the problem is with that, We have
Speaker 4: a conscience when it comes to in the court said this,
Speaker 4: they said, they're starting to lean to the less of
Speaker 4: the two evils, and the less of the two evils
Speaker 4: is the man.
Speaker 2: Usually, when the man is coming.
Speaker 4: To court, he's fighting for fifty to fifty mm. When
Speaker 4: the woman is coming to court, she's fighting for old custody.
Speaker 4: One every single time right, So the less of the
Speaker 4: two evils is the person who wants to have a
Speaker 4: fifty to fifty. So with that, so with the two mindsets,
Speaker 4: that's a different playbook.
Speaker 2: Right. Your job as the woman, you're trying.
Speaker 4: To put me in jail so you can get full custody,
Speaker 4: that is right, as long as I am unfit. You
Speaker 4: So your job is to find me unfit, to find
Speaker 4: out what kind of dirt to try to make me
Speaker 4: go crazy so you can get the full custody because
Speaker 4: the full custom comes with a better check.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right, So there's things.
Speaker 4: As men, we're not going to cross those lines because
Speaker 4: we do have a conscience.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I just like even men who won full custody, right right,
Speaker 4: the ones who won full they still gave back some Yeah,
Speaker 4: because I mean shit full cousin just took away to pay.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to take your responsibility away, right right,
Speaker 4: You're trying to take the responsibility and the money.
Speaker 2: Like that. Okay, you can get the money, like I
Speaker 2: do you get the money? Can I? Now? Can I
Speaker 2: be the father? Yeah? That's the thing.
Speaker 1: I mean you have to let I think the thing
Speaker 1: is gila, Like you know, you when you're young and
Speaker 1: you know, are you arguing? Are you arguing? Are you
Speaker 1: disagreeing to be right or to do right? Because if
Speaker 1: we're trying to make a city, if we're trying, if
Speaker 1: you're trying to be right, it ain't gonna because sometimes,
Speaker 1: you know, you get to say your head. I just
Speaker 1: want to be right. Are you arguing to be right
Speaker 1: or arguing for right? Those are two different things. Now, Gila,
Speaker 1: I don't think that.
Speaker 2: Listen, well, I can only.
Speaker 4: Speak for myself, and I think for the most part
Speaker 4: the course are starting to really understand that the men want.
Speaker 2: To do right.
Speaker 4: All men for the most part, want to be in
Speaker 4: their children's lives.
Speaker 2: They just don't want to deal with what comes the
Speaker 2: other side of it.
Speaker 1: But it shouldn't cost me for it shouldn't cost me ten, fifteen,
Speaker 1: twenty thirty thousand a month to be.
Speaker 2: In my child's life.
Speaker 1: Now, I ain't got no problem paying if you can
Speaker 1: show me, say well, Shannon, baby formula costs fifteen thousand
Speaker 1: a month, okay, and parables is another twenty another twenty
Speaker 1: five miles a month. This is why I need forty
Speaker 1: five dollars for the key. Okay, boom, I come on.
Speaker 2: Now, I was in.
Speaker 4: I was in, I was in, I was in court,
Speaker 4: and we were doing family the family therapists, and and
Speaker 4: I said, this is not a this is not a
Speaker 4: parenting issue.
Speaker 2: This is a money issue.
Speaker 4: I said, all these women and men in here, this
Speaker 4: is a fight about money.
Speaker 2: This is not a fight about parenting.
Speaker 4: If you took money out of the equation and said, hey,
Speaker 4: why can't this person take care of their kids, they
Speaker 4: don't have an answer for you. The excuses is coming
Speaker 4: because there's a money attached to it. Take the money
Speaker 4: away from this, this fatherhood.
Speaker 2: You take the money away from it and say let's
Speaker 2: be parents. There wouldn't be no argument because I was
Speaker 2: a great parent when we was together. Now all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, now yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right, yea.
Speaker 4: Right out of garantee, because I can tell you for
Speaker 4: one thing, if you give the man the kids, he
Speaker 4: ain't gonna be asking you for no money. He's not
Speaker 4: gonna be sitting there trying to put you on child
Speaker 4: support and do all this stuff. You don't even exist
Speaker 4: in this this moment. You want to see your children. Okay,
Speaker 4: Other than that, we can get a n name, can
Speaker 4: get it made. Our mother's gonna do that we have
Speaker 4: health when you have the children, you're taking us to
Speaker 4: court four responsibilities because obviously you can't do it on
Speaker 4: your own.
Speaker 2: And that used to be my argument. Well, if she can't.
Speaker 4: Take care of the kids and she needs my money,
Speaker 4: won't you give the kids to me?
Speaker 2: I don't need her money. It's easy like that.
Speaker 4: If the person who can take care of the kids
Speaker 4: without the other person should be primary.
Speaker 1: Right, and then they normally give that, they normally give that,
Speaker 1: normally give they normally give that to the woman.
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, you're taking my money to make her primary. Shit,
Speaker 4: don't take my money to make her if she can't
Speaker 4: sell it. If you can't take care of the kids
Speaker 4: by yourself, then give it to the parent who can
Speaker 4: and then you go from there.
Speaker 2: That's yeah. But once once it becalled a pocket book. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well we're gonna lose. That's a fight.
Speaker 4: There's always a fight over money. That's the fight. Is
Speaker 4: not about the responsibility of the kids. It's the fight
Speaker 4: about the money of it. If you take money out
Speaker 4: of it, you too child support out of trust me,
Speaker 4: there's gonna be some dead beats out there, right for sure.
Speaker 4: Out there for sure, But for the most part you
Speaker 4: would get it right when you take out the money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I may everybody. Everybody knows me. I got a
Speaker 1: big heart. I ain't got no problem with the money
Speaker 1: because I can go make some more of that. Just
Speaker 1: show just show me where the kid needs this, and

Speaker 1: my sisters, my kids. That's that's about. That's about all
Speaker 1: my mom. That's about all I got. And granted because
Speaker 1: it's always falls around, but it's made the twelve. I
Speaker 1: can always, I always, I always remember that one. But man,
Speaker 1: but hey, we raised I got three great kids. My
Speaker 1: daughter graduating mad school, uh my son, I'm I'm a grandpa,
Speaker 1: and uh my oldest man.
Speaker 2: I ain't think we're gonna be here though, Gil.
Speaker 1: I ain't think we're gonna be here the way we
Speaker 1: started out, it is started out good, but we ended
Speaker 1: on a good note.
Speaker 2: We ended on a good note. It started off good,
Speaker 2: let's start off good. And it started off good, but.
Speaker 1: We ended on a good end, a good and at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, give us what it comes
Speaker 1: down to. So uh we we we're great. Now we
Speaker 1: have a relationship. We can pick up the phone and
Speaker 1: call uh. And I think that's what it should be.
Speaker 1: And you know, for the kids, especially as as the
Speaker 1: kids started to get older and they could comprehend, like
Speaker 1: what we what were we arguing about? I mean, and
Speaker 1: for me, it just got to the point, yeah, look,
Speaker 1: if this is gonna if this is what's gonna make
Speaker 1: you happy, ain't gonna keep you know, keep you from
Speaker 1: I'm having to pay because sometimes you hey, you paid
Speaker 1: ten to keep them paying twenty mm hmm yeah, even
Speaker 1: though you even though you know, bros, take it, take it.
Speaker 1: And so now you know, the kids like hey. But
Speaker 1: I think the thing is they did a great job.

Speaker 1: if my kids didn't turn out to will that they
Speaker 1: did all the money I had to pork over. But
Speaker 1: they did a great job. They did a great job.
Speaker 1: And I think the thing is that they explained to
Speaker 1: the kids that look, the lifestyle that you do enjoy
Speaker 1: is because your daddy is so focused in doing what
Speaker 1: he does. And as they got older, they really understood.
Speaker 1: They really understand now because they're adults and they gotta

Speaker 1: gotta pay a card note and they gotta and they
Speaker 1: gotta do all that thing. They're like, well, damn, daddy,
