Speaker 1: ask the bosses, but I think we keep winning, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Podcasts of the Year, how can
Speaker 1: they say no? Jack? Right? Shout out to Melbourne, Australia,
Speaker 1: shot out to Sydney, Australia. I played out death. Is
Speaker 1: that when you said you had to shoes? We Caangaroo
Speaker 1: one time because he was working with you. Welcome back
Speaker 1: to What's burning Jack, what's good cold? With my brother?
Speaker 1: And join this fall weather? What's good with you? Man?
Speaker 1: I can't call it. Let's get to it man. The
Speaker 1: week ahead. We got some industry matchups this week, starting
Speaker 1: with the MAVs and Sons. They will play Wednesday in Friday.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that matchup first and after. Do you
Speaker 1: feel either or both of these teams are legitimate top
Speaker 1: four seeds in the West. But let's get to the
Speaker 1: match up first. Chris, Paul Luca, donches you know what
Speaker 1: type of matchup it is. It's gonna be a point
Speaker 1: guard battle. Which point guard can carry their team to
Speaker 1: win or will they seem to win. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a good matchup. We love to see it. But the
Speaker 1: question you was asking me, Phoenix has proven to be
Speaker 1: a top four team, but Dallas has a lot more
Speaker 1: to prove to be a top four team. I like
Speaker 1: the match up, um I I can see them possibly
Speaker 1: splitting uh this one one. Sons are hot, MAVs are
Speaker 1: playing well too, Um, you know that the Sons have
Speaker 1: been doing all this without eight and so when he
Speaker 1: gets back, expect them to continue to pick it up.
Speaker 1: As far as if I see either one of these
Speaker 1: is a top four seed, I would probably have to
Speaker 1: go with Phoenix. You know, but again, this might be
Speaker 1: the year that Lucas really steps you know, steps up
Speaker 1: and get the rest of his team. Obviously Luke has
Speaker 1: been playing great, but you know, get the rest of
Speaker 1: his team going, which is a true sign of an
Speaker 1: m v P, and they can steak into the top four.
Speaker 1: But if how to choose one today, I would probably
Speaker 1: say Phoenix. Next up, Sixers Nuggets, Battle of the big
Speaker 1: embad versus joke it Which big man do you feel
Speaker 1: like we'll carry his team further this season? Man, it's hard.
Speaker 1: It's hard to say. When you got two big men
Speaker 1: that's that's that dominant and that really can do it
Speaker 1: all on the court, It's gonna go down to which
Speaker 1: a big man is the most dominant that night. It's hard.
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to say, because both of these
Speaker 1: guys can get off and carry their teams two big wins.
Speaker 1: But if I had to pick one, I go with him. Beat.
Speaker 1: I think in Beat is gonna it's gonna have a
Speaker 1: better game. He's gonna be on the road, so I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have more to prove. I love. I mean,
Speaker 1: these are obviously the two best big bigs in the game.
Speaker 1: Joke it. You know what he's about. Um In Bead.
Speaker 1: I love him Beat, and he's finally able to stay
Speaker 1: somewhat healthy. To me, he's the most skilled big in
Speaker 1: the game. So I love when they beg against each other.
Speaker 1: Um going into Denver is always a tough place to play.
Speaker 1: With that said, I'm gonna take Denver that night home court.
Speaker 1: They've been playing solid and uh again, you know what
Speaker 1: your lungs do when you go out there, especially with
Speaker 1: the r lugs used to do. We go out there,
Speaker 1: Lakers Celtics Friday. The rivalry continues. Celtics little inconsistent shoulders
Speaker 1: playing well. LA just continue to be very inconsistent. Braun
Speaker 1: is still out day to day. What do you think
Speaker 1: about this matchup right now? Neither team is really where
Speaker 1: they're capable of being. Yeah, I think right now it's
Speaker 1: better for the Lakers because we know what Bron gonna
Speaker 1: bring to the team. We know what Bron gonna do
Speaker 1: this gives other guys and the guys they acclimated to
Speaker 1: to really get a field for this team and get
Speaker 1: to plan with a D and Russe and Melo get
Speaker 1: them all playing together. So I think it's it's not
Speaker 1: a bad thing that Brons out right now gives the rest,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And it gives these other
Speaker 1: guys a chance to step up with the Celtics. They
Speaker 1: still still trying to figure out who they are. You know,
Speaker 1: guy's been Andrew Brown is injured again, so that team,
Speaker 1: that team is really up and down. But I think
Speaker 1: the Legers are pulled that game off in Boston, and
Speaker 1: I think rus will have a big game. See I
Speaker 1: kind of counter back on what you say, and I
Speaker 1: I I get what you're saying with Braun being down
Speaker 1: and you know what he can do. But I also
Speaker 1: think playing with Bron is a lot different. So I
Speaker 1: think the new guys like Russ need to be playing
Speaker 1: with Braun to really see what it's like to play
Speaker 1: with them, because you know, Russ is a different player
Speaker 1: when Braun it hasn't been playing and then when he
Speaker 1: does play, So to me, I feel like for that
Speaker 1: chemistry to really get going and where this team needs
Speaker 1: to go. Lebron needs to be out there with these
Speaker 1: new guys because you all know, like you know, guys
Speaker 1: like us, we're seamless. We can fit into any situation
Speaker 1: to play with any superstar. But sometimes it's hard to
Speaker 1: it if you're another star, as these guys are, It's
Speaker 1: hard to play with superstars. So you know, I think
Speaker 1: you see two different Russes, and Russ is still trying
Speaker 1: to figure out what is the best Russ for the Lakers.
Speaker 1: So I think he obviously needs this time with Lebron.
Speaker 1: But with that said, you know, Celtics continue to be inconsistent.
Speaker 1: You you're here and talks now about possibly Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: for Jaylen Brown? Is it time to give up on
Speaker 1: the Brown Uh Tatum wing combo? So I really think
Speaker 1: this this team is you know, very talented, but you know,
Speaker 1: just no consistency and it seems like no chemistry and
Speaker 1: rhythm with that squad. So we'll see what that has
Speaker 1: to look like on Friday. What are some of your
Speaker 1: came back on this this Laker Celtics. What are some
Speaker 1: of your favorite moments or moments to stand up to
Speaker 1: you the most throughout this just just the history with
Speaker 1: Bird and Magic and also um the finals between Kobe
Speaker 1: and Kjina. I think that was big. Growing up, you
Speaker 1: always watched the heard about and watch the Lakers versus Celtics,
Speaker 1: heard about Bird and Magic and I they always battle
Speaker 1: with each other, heard about Bird left hand shooting and
Speaker 1: all that type of stuff. So but we didn't really
Speaker 1: get a chance to see that, but we really got
Speaker 1: a chance to watch in person Kobe and Kobe against
Speaker 1: the Celtics and those and those games. So that was
Speaker 1: that's what That's the big games to me. I agreed. Question,
Speaker 1: do you remember Lakers versus Celtics the video game? Do
Speaker 1: I do? I remember? Hey, that's when the hoop games
Speaker 1: first started really starting to be cool. Man Laker, Celtics,
Speaker 1: Bulls Blazers, all that kind of ship was hard back there.
Speaker 1: That was dope. Next up on the radar, presented you
Speaker 1: by DraftKings Warriors at the top of the NBA with
Speaker 1: an eleven and two record, uh steps playing another planet,
Speaker 1: passing Ray Allen for most all time three pointers made.
Speaker 1: Thoughts on this team, who isn't fully healthy yet? And
Speaker 1: the way STEP's been playing. Steph is just picking up
Speaker 1: where he left off last year. He was at the
Speaker 1: m v P level last year, and he's starting the
Speaker 1: season off on that same note. I think he's just
Speaker 1: carrying his team and then and bawling out right now,
Speaker 1: is that Clay get back, because you know, you know,
Speaker 1: it's gonna take a minute for Kay to get his
Speaker 1: feet get his feet were to get back to being
Speaker 1: comfortable on the court, catching the ball, moving and all
Speaker 1: that starting and stopping. It's gonna be a minute. So
Speaker 1: you know, he still got to carry his team for
Speaker 1: the bulk of the season. But for the most part,
Speaker 1: these young guys are coming on. Gary Payton Junior is
Speaker 1: playing well, and you got all all those other guys
Speaker 1: coming in and playing well. So steps playing great. But
Speaker 1: this team as a hardest playing well. Yeah, I agree,
Speaker 1: this team is playing really good. And I think the
Speaker 1: only question for me is Clay has been out for
Speaker 1: two years, so will Clay come back? And you know,
Speaker 1: normally when the situation at that, there's a little nagging
Speaker 1: ship that will hamp for you. So I hope he's
Speaker 1: able to work through all that. Uh. Interesting to see
Speaker 1: wise man get back on the court. You know, they
Speaker 1: played their rookie a little bit last night in the
Speaker 1: Charlotte loss. He was really active long and can play
Speaker 1: some good defense. They've got a lot of good pieces
Speaker 1: on this team, and I think probably the most important
Speaker 1: piece and guy they need to play the way he's
Speaker 1: been playing as Andrew Wiggins. Andrew Wiggins is always like, damn,
Speaker 1: he's so talented, but what there's a butt. But I
Speaker 1: really think this team has him confident, believing in itself,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna need his twenty to twenty two points,
Speaker 1: not just in the regular season, but in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And I think it flashes last year in the playoffs
Speaker 1: he played really well and played lock up defense too.
Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna be a key piece to
Speaker 1: what they're doing. But you know, Jordan Pool, Gary Payton Jr.
Speaker 1: You know, all these kids are really bringing a lot
Speaker 1: of energy, man, and obviously Draymond is being Draymond. So
Speaker 1: this team is gonna be really scary once they get
Speaker 1: healthy and and and it's good to see because you know,
Speaker 1: they went from a dynasty to walking doormats and now
Speaker 1: they're back, and it's it's always dope to see people
Speaker 1: bounce back like that. Next up, Secure the Bag presented
Speaker 1: to you by moneyline. We've got some ship going on, y'all.
Speaker 1: So the NBA has launched a probe into the Chicago
Speaker 1: Bulls of Miami Heat involving Lonzo Ball and Kyle Lowry
Speaker 1: allegations of tampering surrounding early contracts. The maximum fine for
Speaker 1: this can be up to ten million dollars per team,
Speaker 1: possible suspension of executives forfeit draft picks and even avoiding
Speaker 1: contracts and violations are found. This sounds serious. But to me,
Speaker 1: if you think about free agency, as soon as free
Speaker 1: agency hits, any of those contracts that are like bang
Speaker 1: bang bang bang right after it comes, obviously these motherfucker's
Speaker 1: have been talking. So to me, I think this is
Speaker 1: dumb because you can't even if it's not executives talking
Speaker 1: to players or agents as players talking to players. So
Speaker 1: I kind of just think this is this is stupid
Speaker 1: because you can find this really across the board, and
Speaker 1: they're singling out, you know, two of the bigger free
Speaker 1: agent moves this year. But if you think about it, like,
Speaker 1: how are the any of these contract is happening as
Speaker 1: soon as as soon as free agency hits, So this
Speaker 1: is something that's been going on. For a long time.
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to single out these two teams,
Speaker 1: which is dumb. Uh Jack, What do you think? Well,
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you, bro. I mean, it's no way,
Speaker 1: like you said, these teams can make these deals and
Speaker 1: sign guys right right after the den I mean, right
Speaker 1: when it's time to start signing guys, when it's time
Speaker 1: all these free ages up, and they and they haven't
Speaker 1: talked to the ages I talked to these players. That's impossible.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think somebody saw Team Matt,
Speaker 1: somebody saw him bringing this up and trying to bring
Speaker 1: up some mess with these two teams. I think it's
Speaker 1: just somebody who didn't get one of these players. Always
Speaker 1: lied to somebody made a promise and they didn't get
Speaker 1: what they wanted, and now they saw to try to
Speaker 1: bring it up to bring up dirt on these two teams.
Speaker 1: And that's what That's what it all boughts down. Like
Speaker 1: I agree, they got they got a Karen. They got
Speaker 1: some Karen executives crying to the league because they were
Speaker 1: supposed to get one of these players. With salaries at
Speaker 1: an all time high. Do you think something like this
Speaker 1: can prevent free agents from securing the bag. I think
Speaker 1: it'll be crazy to see one of these big players
Speaker 1: lose a contract of a contract get voided over something
Speaker 1: like this because they spoke to somebody or had a
Speaker 1: conversation with somebody, not knowing that it would come to this. Bro.
Speaker 1: I think that would be crazy. I I don't think
Speaker 1: it will go smooth. I think it's start a lot
Speaker 1: of chaos because it's never been done before. Because we
Speaker 1: know people talk all the time. Yeah see, I don't know,
Speaker 1: And really should a player lose his money because the
Speaker 1: front office violated and rules, like, there's no rules for us,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like guys throughout the season
Speaker 1: in the summertime are always talking about joining up or
Speaker 1: where they're gonna go next summer, all this kind of ship.
Speaker 1: So that's common talk amongst players. So there's no real
Speaker 1: you know, that's just is what it is. Whether it's
Speaker 1: rule with it or not, it's always gonna happen. But
Speaker 1: at the front office fox up, how can they take
Speaker 1: the money from the player. That'd be crazy. But I
Speaker 1: guess we'll just have to see. Hope these guys keep
Speaker 1: securing their bag and if the teams get fine, they'll
Speaker 1: be all they got a lot of money. This Thursday,
Speaker 1: November eighteen, we dropped the fair Band Bleak interview. Really
Speaker 1: got to know the little helped me better? Great interview.
Speaker 1: Check out the teaser. What was your welcome to the
Speaker 1: NBA moment? I had a few, but the first one
Speaker 1: was preseason. Um again, I was trying to make the team.
Speaker 1: It was like our second to last preseason game. We're
Speaker 1: playing the Clippers, uh CP, Blake and all them. I
Speaker 1: was like, like I said, I was the third point guard,
Speaker 1: so you know, I usually ain't checking into like the
Speaker 1: second half of the game, and me and Kyle we're
Speaker 1: not really that that close at this time, so I
Speaker 1: didn't know he wasn't playing. You know, guy's donna play
Speaker 1: all the preseason games. So we're standing in the huddle,
Speaker 1: um case, drawing up to play, and he write my
Speaker 1: name on the board just before the tip off, and
Speaker 1: I'm looking like fun, like, yeah, y'all, we wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: tell me I was starting. So I'm taking I'm taking
Speaker 1: my warm up and stuff off. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get ready. So I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: bet so now I'm out there. I'm nervous as hill
Speaker 1: and this Chris Paul, you know what I'm saying, This
Speaker 1: is this is CP for me. This is like this
Speaker 1: as good as it gets. So man, he wasn't even shooting.
Speaker 1: I think he had like thirteen points at half time.
Speaker 1: He was double crossing me, spinning me around. They used
Speaker 1: to run a little high the little high double drag
Speaker 1: at the top Blake in DJ, and he was rejecting.
Speaker 1: I was trying, man, I was spinning around. I was
Speaker 1: so lost, and I just remember being in the locker
Speaker 1: room at half time. I was just like, yeah, this
Speaker 1: is this is a different level right here. He wasn't
Speaker 1: he wasn't even like trying to be No, he wasn't
Speaker 1: even killed. But he knew that I was a rookie,
Speaker 1: so he was like he was letting me know. Next up.
Speaker 1: Fan questions at s J c oh one, who is
Speaker 1: current Who is your current m v P so far
Speaker 1: this season? Good question. I'm going with Steph right now.
Speaker 1: I gotta go to stuff right now. The way he's playing,
Speaker 1: they got the best record the league. Like I said,
Speaker 1: he picked up from last year when he played the
Speaker 1: v m v P level last year. I think He's
Speaker 1: the MVP so far right now. I love it and
Speaker 1: I'm not even mad at that, but I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with k D UM. I think there second in the
Speaker 1: East right now. Um, with all the fucking mess they've
Speaker 1: had over there, Harden hasn't been playing well. He's finally
Speaker 1: starting to get his his game together, but Katie has
Speaker 1: been consistent leading the league and scoring, shooting percentagers or
Speaker 1: where they're at and then above. Uh, it just seems
Speaker 1: like with all the rule changes and the ball changes,
Speaker 1: the only one that hasn't been effected this year is
Speaker 1: you know, Stephen in KD although steps three point shooting
Speaker 1: percentages down a little bit, so tough question. Either one.
Speaker 1: I'm good with, you know, either one of those guys
Speaker 1: being it, but uh, in my op, I think it's
Speaker 1: Katie right now. Next fan question, a tone of less assin.
Speaker 1: How wonderful is it for you to see Carmelo athlete
Speaker 1: shutting up to meet it with his great start off
Speaker 1: to the season. Oh it's beautiful. You know. We we've
Speaker 1: had this conversation. We finally added on the show. We've
Speaker 1: been fighting for this dude since the okay see ship happened.
Speaker 1: But it's great I mean to come to l A. Uh,
Speaker 1: and you gotta think he's got a lot of personal
Speaker 1: ship in his life. That's in the media right now too,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So in l A that's
Speaker 1: only magnified. But he's been able to come off there,
Speaker 1: shut all the noise up, and play great basketball off
Speaker 1: the bench, accepted his role mentoring younger players and shooting
Speaker 1: the ship out of that ball man. So if I'm
Speaker 1: very happy to see what Mellow is doing right now,
Speaker 1: the best way to quiet the dials and shut him
Speaker 1: up is to go out damn ball. They used to
Speaker 1: always say that, next up, Mr Darren underscore dancer. I
Speaker 1: have two questions for Stephen Jesse Jackson. Which would you
Speaker 1: rather see happen? Kevin Garnett get traded to the Warriors
Speaker 1: or the Malice in the Palace never happens. With that choice,
Speaker 1: do you believe you guys would have won an NBA championship?
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Oh. I have to pick one, though,
Speaker 1: Which would I'd rather see right to see happen? That
Speaker 1: might be one of the best questions we've ever had.
Speaker 1: The brawl was kind of inevitable, like something was going
Speaker 1: to happen. That year with that team. Eventually, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: not the brawl, maybe it happened at the club. Just
Speaker 1: something's gonna happen, you know what I mean. It was
Speaker 1: just too many real ones on it. That team was
Speaker 1: going to derail. Too many project babies on that team,
Speaker 1: man it with too many projects babies. So but if
Speaker 1: we could have got Kevin Garnet to that, we believe
Speaker 1: team championships in our review, we was gonna touch a trophy,
Speaker 1: whether whether it was the Western Conference Finals trophy or
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals trophy, we was going to touch the trophy.
Speaker 1: We I just don't know which one man kg to that.
Speaker 1: We believed team would have been unbelievable. But then you
Speaker 1: also think if if the malice never happened, you know,
Speaker 1: you're the trajectory of your career changes too. You get
Speaker 1: to save some some bread. They don't that, they don't
Speaker 1: hold sh against you, so you're making All Star games.
Speaker 1: So that's a that's a tough question. Yeah, that is
Speaker 1: a tough because we've damn show was gonna win the
Speaker 1: championship that team, Matt, Yeah, y'all was tough. Next fan
Speaker 1: question at a sign dot goard dot Nick one big
Speaker 1: purchase you regret, man, I truly have to say I
Speaker 1: never was really crazy with my money and bought jewelry
Speaker 1: or too many cars or crazy houses. I probably say
Speaker 1: the one regret during my career if my money, is
Speaker 1: I was just too giving. I gave a lot of
Speaker 1: people a lot of money, so I would probably say
Speaker 1: that would probably be my regret. Wasn't so much me
Speaker 1: spurging on anything because I wasn't really like that. I
Speaker 1: would just say me just be given to to forthcoming
Speaker 1: to to help try to help so many people. I
Speaker 1: think the dumbist purchase I've ever bought was I was
Speaker 1: too influenced by rap music. Box and jay Z was
Speaker 1: talking about a portion nine eleven and I wouldn't got
Speaker 1: that ship and forgot I six eight and they felt
Speaker 1: like I was riding up my like my ass was
Speaker 1: hitting the street on every bump. Man, I got rid
Speaker 1: of ship three days later. It was the dumbest move ever.
Speaker 1: I had to stopped taking rap music so serious. Well
Speaker 1: that's when you was a rapper though, too. I was
Speaker 1: j C B Underscore thirty five. Have y'all been on
Speaker 1: college hoops? What do you think about Seattle's next superstar? Polo.

Speaker 1: to jump the gun, but I've been hearing about him

Speaker 1: four years. He's like, yeah, we got someone specially who's
Speaker 1: going to be a star in this game. And I,
Speaker 1: you know, I started checking him out. Jackie came out

Speaker 1: benefited the Wizards. Montrose Harold's averaging eighteen and nine, Kuzma's
Speaker 1: averaging fifteen. I think he's right below a double double
Speaker 1: spencer Dinwoody. You know, people forgot about him what he
Speaker 1: was doing in Brooklyn before he got hurt. He's at sixteen,
Speaker 1: five and five and KCP is rounding it out with
Speaker 1: this team. What kind of NOI do you feel like
Speaker 1: they can make in the Eastern Conference? Jack, they can,
Speaker 1: they can make big noise. They definitely, And I think
Speaker 1: the big the first step of them is getting into
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you know, and and and and seeing one
Speaker 1: and trying to upset somebody in the playoffs. But I'm
Speaker 1: really happy for Montres. Bro. He really got screwed in
Speaker 1: l A. You know what I'm saying back fact, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about Matres. Happy birthday to his mother because his
Speaker 1: mother and my mother birthday was on the is uh
Speaker 1: what we said that we gave him shouts out a
Speaker 1: week a part in the same month. So happy birthday
Speaker 1: to my mother. Happy birthday. Yeah, he gave his mom
Speaker 1: a shot out yesterday. But I'm having him dog because
Speaker 1: he deserved it. Um, he had to get a chance
Speaker 1: to ball and beat him. He's helped me turning this
Speaker 1: team around. And uh we talked about him allowed when
Speaker 1: he was with the Lakers, how he could have helped
Speaker 1: that team and they didn't use him. So to see
Speaker 1: him to get to Washington, to get it, to get
Speaker 1: a chance to play and beat him again, it's good
Speaker 1: to see Bro. Yeah, I mean, I love what this
Speaker 1: team is doing. You know, Bradley Bill is stugged this out.
Speaker 1: You know, we've all been talking about where is he going,
Speaker 1: what's he gonna do? He stayed loyal, but it's it's
Speaker 1: crazy to me. How you see from the first wave
Speaker 1: of of a Lonzo ball brandon Ingram, Julius Randall. These
Speaker 1: guys leave the Lakers and go on to get big contracts,
Speaker 1: most improved, you know, really start to spread their wings.
Speaker 1: And now you're seeing it with this wave of Lakers
Speaker 1: that just get Trady. No, Kyle Kuzma, is you know
Speaker 1: at fifteen and ten almost Montreal like Montreals, Like you
Speaker 1: just said, I didn't get utilized, right k c P.
Speaker 1: You know how many big shots he hitting the finals
Speaker 1: for that that that championship Laker team. So it's crazy
Speaker 1: how when these guys leave the Lakers they're able to
Speaker 1: kind of really find their game or get back to
Speaker 1: what they used to be. So kind of interesting take,
Speaker 1: but you know, definitely happy for this team. Um and agree,
Speaker 1: you know, making the playoffs is the first step, but
Speaker 1: I definitely think this team has you know, it is
Speaker 1: going to be a scary out come playoff time. Man,
Speaker 1: So Jack, I think we might have something to do
Speaker 1: with this, although you know they've both been training and
Speaker 1: and and and been in the space for a minute.
Speaker 1: But we got Darren Williams fighting Frank Gore. That fight
Speaker 1: has officially been announced on the undercard of Paul Fury. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Showtime pay per view December eighteenth in Tampa. Thoughts on this.
Speaker 1: I hope they got us done as promoters for the fight,
Speaker 1: because we damned so help promote this motherfucker. When we
Speaker 1: was talking to Darren, you know what I'm saying, we
Speaker 1: we we spoken into fruitionous. So I hope we get
Speaker 1: some promoters paper, you know what I'm talking about. But
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good fight, bro, I'm happy. I'm
Speaker 1: happy for both of these guys. We both know they've
Speaker 1: been training. Um, you know what I'm saying. The NFL
Speaker 1: gets the NBA, it's gonna be good to see. Uh
Speaker 1: I don't I don't hope. I hope both of these
Speaker 1: buzzs go out there and put on the great performance.
Speaker 1: Nobody get hurt. But you know, I'm pulling up for
Speaker 1: Darren of cour Us. Yeah, obviously I'm a big, huge
Speaker 1: Frank Gore fan too, because you know, he was our
Speaker 1: he was our running back out here in San Francisco
Speaker 1: for a long time. But yeah, obviously gotta go with
Speaker 1: uh D will to represent our sport. But I think
Speaker 1: this is dope, man. I wish they could have fought
Speaker 1: some other people first before they got to each other.
Speaker 1: But they're starting with each other. But this could be
Speaker 1: a new tread man. So excited to see what this
Speaker 1: is about. Man, well, I hope you enjoyed this episode
Speaker 1: of What's Burning. You can catch What's Burning every week
