I hope everyone had an amazing, amazing holiday, 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.400 you know, spend time with your family. I think you know, 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.600 we all understand the importance of that, especially being stripped 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.280 of it, you know, quite a bit in the last 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:23.040 couple of years. So hope everyone had an incredible holiday. 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.080 And I hope you are excited for this episode as 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.480 excited or more excited than I am. But I am 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.080 extremely excited. So I think that will be tough so Jackson, 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.480 what you got for us? Let's hear what the people 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:39.120 wants to hear. Okay, first up from at I'm shy 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.840 Labs on Twitter. I'm gonna slightly change the question because 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.000 it's sort of uh was asked before Christmas? But what 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.000 is the best gift that you gave a member of 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.600 your family this Christmas season? And also, as part of that, 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:56.160 what is your favorite UH holiday family tradition? I think 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.400 the best gift I gave my family this Christmas season 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:05.120 it was a dog, um and that is for my 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.480 entire family who lives in the household with me, how 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:12.360 my fiance Hazel, my three children, Nana as well, although 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.520 Nana probably doesn't want a dog, but Nana doesn't hate dogs. 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.520 But I'm not sure she's gonna care too much about 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:21.680 this dog because Nana and baby c are super tight, 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.280 so bringing another baby in the house, I don't know 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.239 how Nana feel about that. No, but honestly, the dog. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.040 My Hazel has been talking to me or trying to 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.480 get me to agree to having a dog in the 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:38.880 house for three years, and my my children love dogs. 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:43.600 Um DJ loves dog, Olive love dogs. Cash does not 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.240 like furry filling things. And I'm not sure how she's 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.680 going to feel about this dog. It's like any furry 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.680 type thing she touches, she like pulls her hand back, 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:59.560 So I'm not sure she's going to I mean, I'm 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:03.840 not sure or how she's really going to grow with 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.240 this dog, Like I just don't. I don't. I mean 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.800 we'll see, like does she adjust to it well? But 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.160 every time she touches it or fur like things, she 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:16.000 pulls her back, so we'll see. Um, But that that 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.320 was the gift. I think that was the gift of 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.720 this year, where like they're all in heaven, they love it. 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.080 They all been asking for a dog forever. And the 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.560 reason I wouldn't agree to the dog because my mom 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.880 is like allergic to dogs, and so I know my 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.039 mom won't come out, like and I love when my 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.200 mom come out and visit, and I know my mom 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.360 won't come out if we have a dog. So now 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.560 I'm not. So now I have to figure this out, 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.320 Like what's gonna be to deal with my mom coming 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.919 to visit, Like is she just going to in our 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.400 in our building with she can stay in like another 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.320 little apartment type thing. But then it's like she's never 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.719 coming upstairs, so are we just like it's the whole thing. 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.960 So that was the hesitation on getting the dog. But 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.360 that was the best Christmas gift for the family. And 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.560 I think you get did you get a hypoallergenic dog? 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.440 Did you try to What kind of dog did you get? 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.480 I don't think it's it's a golden dudo. I don't think. 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.560 Yeah you got are they hypolergen it? Yeah? Yeah, My 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.760 mom is also literate to dogs. We got a Labradodle 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.080 many years ago for that exact reason. So you should 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:22.600 be fine. Oh, I don't know. My my mom, I 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:24.920 don't know. She's not going to believe the dogs hype 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.479 of outgen but we'll see. Um. So yeah, I mean 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.560 that that's that was the gift. And I think a 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:35.840 Christmas tradition I'm ashamed to say this. Um, but other 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:40.719 than opening gifts these days we don't and wearing like 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.920 our Christmas with jams when we get the chance, and 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:47.280 just you know, really diving into like hanging with the 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.680 kids and like them opening those gifts and playing with 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.320 those gifts in the ascitement of that, you know, having 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.680 some milk and cookies. We don't have really many holiday 0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:00.480 or Christmas traditions. Now, I had Christmas traditions on up, 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.880 but now that I've been in the NBA for ten 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:07.000 seasons and nine of them, I've played on Christmas Day. 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.799 So the entire time of me having my own family, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:16.800 I'm playing on Christmas Day, So not really many tradition 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.640 because sometimes I'm on the road. So like, how do 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.279 you still and so I think more so just like 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:26.159 spending that time together, um, opening some gifts, uh, having 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.680 our pjs on, and you know that's that's kind of 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.360 what it has to be for now. That's that leads 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.040 me to a question from from me. I'm going to 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.919 jump the line on all of the Twitter questions from everyone, 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.640 but I've always been curious someone like you who's played 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.720 on Christmas so often, what is your Christmas Day schedule? 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.320 Like do you still get to do presents with the family? 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.320 Like I guess it depends on what time your game is. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.160 I'm like curious, how that how you navigate Christmas on 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:58.440 a game day? So, um, in situations where the game 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.320 is a way, uh, we tend to do it either 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.720 before after Christmas where we're open to presents and kind 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.560 of celebrated. If it's Christmas Day. If it's a home game, 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.480 it's a little different because you can either do it 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:16.040 before or after. But it's always tell people planning on 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:20.200 Christmas Day is like as an athlete or as an 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.920 NBA player, it's like the best thing ever because you know, 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.400 like it is as big of a regular season game 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.920 as you're gonna have, like Christmas Day, the whole world's watching, 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:36.840 you know it, Like everyone's home, everyone's watching. That's just 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.000 the way it goes. I mean, growing up for me, 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.480 when I remember like getting eating food and getting stuffed 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.960 and then like landing on the floor next to my 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.080 grandfather's lazy boy. He was sitting a lazy boy and 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.480 lay out and fall asleep and we watched games all day. 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.440 I would lay on the floor, stuff, fall asleep still 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.520 and just watch games all day. And so like everyone's 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.920 watching on Christmas Day because everyone's home, everyone's with their family, 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.680 and and there's marquee games on Christmas Day. There's matchups 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.360 that you want to see. I think that league does 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:11.000 a great job of that. And so when you're home, 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.320 you can either do it before or after. But then 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:19.200 what plays and what plays and what takes or what 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.680 plays a part and what you can do is the 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.720 time of the game. I've had a very early game 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.760 at home. I've had the latest game at home. And 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.560 so when you have a very early game, then you 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.320 just wake up, you go to the arena, you could, 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:35.800 you know, handle your business, do your work, and then 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:37.800 you come home and you have the rest of the day, 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.839 you know, to celebrate Christmas, which is what I enjoy 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.800 the most. When you have the latest game on Christmas Day, 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.520 it really sucks because you still spend your whole day 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.360 preparing for a game, so you can't really indulge in 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.120 whatever it is that you want to indulge in, spending 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.360 time with your family and really being in that moment 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.720 because again, this is probably the biggest game of the 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:06.160 regular season. You're locked in and focused on that, and 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:10.079 so the latest game sucks. I've had both of them. 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:11.760 I've had a very early game, I've had a very 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.160 late game. And the one that I enjoyed the most 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.080 was the earliest game was the early game. You know, 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:21.240 for instance, this year playing in Phoenix on Christmas Day, 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:26.160 which was two PM game as far as specific standard 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:32.720 time goes, but three pm UM Mountain time. ABC game 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:37.079 time outs are longer. The game ends at uh five 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:43.680 forty five mountain time, six pm and ended, you know, 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.920 so all of a sudden hour and a half between 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.480 media getting to the airport actually taken off and get 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.600 home and then get home at n And so for 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.800 us this year, um, we celebrated on Christmas Eve because 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.360 our flight didn't leave to a PM on Christmas Eve 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.400 and go to Fenn to give guys sometime with their 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:06.120 families around the holiday. Um, and so we celebrated on 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:10.079 Christmas Eve and kind of had that entire morning, the 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.520 entire day to celebrate the evening until I had to 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.800 leave to the for the airport. But I think, you know, 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.559 it's a very dicey situation because as I said, it's 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:25.200 the best you know, it's the best game. Like it's great, 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.280 you want to play in that game. But on the 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:31.439 flip side, it sucks because you end up altering your 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.000 family time. You end up uh the same time that 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.200 everyone just gets to sit at home and relax and 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.560 enjoy their family. You don't get that, you know, and 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.160 like like we're not paying holiday time. You know some 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.320 people work on holidays, Like they we're not paying holiday time, 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.760 We're not giving anything extra for that, Like it's just 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:55.640 another like just another game on the schedule, except what 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.960 it means to you as more right, Like you know 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.320 it's a bigger game. You know, the lights are bigger soul. 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:03.600 That's all about what it means to you. But we're 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.040 not compensated for playing on Christmas Day, So you know, 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.160 on the flip side of it, it it sucks. Uh, kind 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.120 of sucks a little bit for your kids. Uh, it 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:12.920 sucks a little bit as far as your family, just 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.640 your family as a whole goals. It sucks as a 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:19.240 human and just want to like enjoy Christmas as everyone 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.959 gets the opportunity to do. But I wouldn't trade that because, 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.559 like I said, as a competitor, Uh, the stages, when 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.440 the stages as brightest, that's when you want to be 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.520 out there. And like I said, until you get to 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.400 the playoffs, there's no bigger stage in a regular season 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:38.719 game than Christmas Day with everybody watching. And so to 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.280 giving a curse the good, bad and the ugly, but 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:46.000 like I said, I'll take I'll take the bad and 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.760 the ugly because you you put that work in, you 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.040 want to shine bright on the brightest stage that you 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:56.800 could possibly shine. On. So as a competitor, you enjoy it, 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.120 but the human side of me, I hate it. I 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:04.880 like that. That's insightful stuff. Next one from at Maverick Records. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:09.760 What's on your pregame playlist? What's on my pregame playlist? 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.559 I don't know, Maverick. I don't really have a set 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.240 pregame playlist per se. I think for me it's um. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.160 You know, there are you play eighty two games. There 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:23.160 are some games that you're extremely hyped up for. Um. 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.760 And when I am extremely hyped up for a game, 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.520 I like to play slower music nineties R and B 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.600 kind of slow it down because I have to like 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:36.160 keep myself here. Uh, I'm already jacked up, and I 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.840 go start playing on some music. I'm ready to jump 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.079 through this glass window right here, like and just like 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.240 what like let's go, like it's time and I should 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:48.920 be too amped up. And and when I'm too amped up, 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.760 it works against me. Now you're pressing, you're filing because 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.400 you're overreacting to something. You know, it just it starts 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.760 to work against me as opposed to work for me. 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.839 So when I'm already super empt up about the game, 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.720 I'm gonna listen to some nineties R and B slowed 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.240 down a little bit, kind of chill kick back. But 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.000 if it's one of those soft Tuesdays and you're playing 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:18.560 against somebody who shouldn't be that bad in the NBA, uh, 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.400 then I gotta turn me on some some you know, 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:26.160 some some some music that I get me there. Uh yeah. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.320 I mean at times it's different though, like then at 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.319 that point, like you know, it's some possible Drake colds 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.360 from Drake, some little baby, some dumb baby, you know 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.679 jay z uh, you know, just stuff that like get 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.520 you gone, get you moving a little bit, you know, 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:43.160 like I kind of bring you into yourself. You know, 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.640 you you're kind of feeling yourself now and they can 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.360 kind of give you that little boost. So I think 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.520 for me, it's no set playlist, and I kind of 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.680 vary on the mood that I'm in that day and 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:58.160 how I'm feeling about that particular game. Okay, next one 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:03.040 from at Matt Bullymore. Who is the funniest guy You've 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.319 ever had in the locker room? I'll let you include 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.920 teeny say if you want, but either Warriors or Temu say, 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.320 the funniest guy I've ever had? In the locker room. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:17.000 The funniest guy I've ever played with for two different reasons. 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.240 One is Nicky Young because he is just a character 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:25.400 and like funny, like that's just who Nick is, like 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:30.920 why he super funny character. And Brandon Rush and for 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.200 two totally different reasons. Brandon Rush is very funny but 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:40.920 unintentionally like not trying to make you laugh. Pretty quiet guy, 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:48.920 but when he speaks hilarious, like unintentionally hilarious. So I 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:52.000 would say those two guys, but in very different ways. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:57.280 Like Nick is funny, he's in your face, he's intentional, Um, 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.480 you know, he's like, that's just who Nick is. He 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:03.080 liked to last clown althought he's not like class clown 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.920 per se, but you get where I'm going with it. 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.680 He's like the guy that's in the mix and like 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:12.040 always into something. And then Brandon Rush is unintentionally just 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:16.360 one of the funniest guys I've ever been around in 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.960 the Rush. That's a deep cut from shout out Brandon 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.720 Rush from at Optics Splendor. Who is the best trash 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.200 talker in the league, Well, the best trash talker in 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.040 the league. Uh, I think you're you're you're a subscriber 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:36.000 to this podcast. I hope you're you're. I hope you've 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.520 I hope you're a weekly listener. And if you are, 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.240 you haven't you get the opportunity to listen to the 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.640 best trash talk in the league weekly. I don't think 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.560 there's any better trash talkers in the league than me, 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:54.120 and I stand on that, like PEPSI I guarantee it 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.960 you heard. You heard what Frank Lucas said. I stand 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.920 by my product. I guarantee that. No. But I think 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.720 there's some guys who are good trash I always tell 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.360 people and they don't. I think you started to realize 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:10.040 that now with like the more he talks on Twitter 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:14.560 or the more you he's caught saying stuff to fans 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.880 in the stands. Katie I've always said told people like 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.120 Katie was one of the biggest trash talkers to me 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.240 since I came into the league, like always half been 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:30.600 but all he wasn't always like outrearly to where you 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.440 can see it. But if you played against him, you 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.240 new and and it would be like disrespectful stuff like hey, 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.480 who is this? Katie would turn to do the round, 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.200 like trying to look at the back of his jersey, 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.760 like see his name on the back, Like Kay would 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.400 saying stuff to people and you're like, yo, you Kevin Durant, 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.160 Like there's not really much I can say back, like 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.440 what like what what are you going to say back 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:54.920 to Kevin Durant? I always have something to say, and 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:59.440 I probably said something first knowing me. But Kay Katie 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.520 was one of the ben and Katie got like these 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.520 one liners like oh he drunk at the bar like 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:06.600 K hit somebody with a cross and he drunk at 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:12.760 the bar like like K got one liners for days, 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:18.600 like I played dominoes a lot. E forty got crazy 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:22.119 one liners. Gary Payton got crazy one liners like Katie 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.800 got one liners for days. And so I think if 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.639 if I'm not going with myself, I would have to 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:31.040 say KD for sure. It's it reminds me the way 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.520 you described me at kind of like Larry birdish where 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.800 it's just like he's always like who is guarding me? 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:37.919 Like what who is this that you're sending at me? 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.760 You know who are you? And again, what were you 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.520 going to say to Larry Bird? Like oh, you're not nice? 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:47.320 Like like some dudes talking you like bro, you trash, 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:50.600 like why are you talking to me? Like, but like 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.080 Kevin Durant talking like what are you gonna say? Like, Bro, 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.720 you can't dribble, like, you can't shoot, like you can't check, 0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:00.680 Like what are you gonna say? You gotta be real creative? 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.680 And so for me, you know, so I can create now, 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.399 like and so I can go there with him. But 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.040 like Larry Bird, like what what what are most people 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.480 gonna say? Right? If so, if you're not witty enough 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.440 to just come up with comebacks like that, ain't got 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.359 nothing to do with Oh, bro, you suck or like 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:20.800 or you can't do this and you can like, if 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.679 you ain't witty enough to come back with to have 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:28.480 comebacks that's not like those things, then you screwed. And 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.080 so I think that is that's definitely a good comparison 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:33.880 for what I know of Bird, right, like I never 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.200 played against Bird, for what I've heard, what I've seen, 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.480 I think it's a pretty good comparison. And obviously two 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:44.160 great basketball players, yes sir uh. Next one from at 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.000 Jake vs. Mingo? Who is your favorite player to guard? 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:57.600 My favorite player to guard? Um, my favorite player to guard? 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.840 It is also Katie and the reason my favorite player 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.680 to guard is. I think for me, that's the toughest challenge. 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:09.760 Uh Is I can't Like what can I do to 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.600 make it hard on Kevin Duran? He sees right over 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.840 the top of me seven ft. Uh. He's probably a 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.880 little quicker than me. He's probably a little more athletic 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:22.680 than me. He's probably a little faster. So I'm supposed 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.240 to lose that challenge, Like I'm supposed to lose that battle. 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.359 What can I do to change that outcome? Can I 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:33.720 take on that challenge that we all felt at um? 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.280 Can I be successful in taking on that challenge? Like 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.879 I think for me, guarding the best and taking on 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:44.000 that challenge of the best score to do it like 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:50.320 that's fun, Like I enjoy that, and more importantly, I 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.840 get better guarding him because if I can do some 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.600 things against him like that opens up some things for 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:57.439 me to be able to do against anybody, you know. 0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:00.240 And so I think you always want to play the best, 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.399 and you like always want to like take on that 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.080 challenge of the best. And I think Kevin Duran is 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:09.040 the greatest score we've ever seen. How the opportunity to 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:12.600 guard that guy, it's incredible, And so I'd have to 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:16.080 say that's my favorite guard, because how many how often 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.200 do you get to say I guarded the best or 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:20.920 I went head to head with the best, as said, 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.080 thing like, you don't get to say that often. So 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:26.960 you know, I've had times where like I played good 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:28.840 defense on him, I've also had a time where he 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:32.679 put fifty four up on It just is what it is. 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:36.240 But I enjoyed the challenge because it doesn't get any 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.480 better than that when you're talking about scoring the basketball. 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:44.280 Next one from at not Max heinrichs, what's your favorite 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:49.600 restaurant in SF? Slash Oakland. My favorite restaurant in San 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:54.000 Francisco slash Oakland, and I don't want to spend any 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.280 Bay or your residence. I know those are different places, 0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:59.199 but that's just the question that at Max asked. Okay, 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.920 definitely two totally different places. I think. For me, I 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.600 don't eat out a ton. I have a chef, and 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:07.560 so when I eat out, I mostly eat out on 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:09.240 the road. It's funny because I was just having a 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:12.040 conversation with a couple of my homies last night and 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:14.560 we were talking about restaurants, and one of one of 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:18.600 my homies was telling me, there is this new tie 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:21.520 restaurant out in water the Creek, like I think you 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:23.919 like it. The vibe is nice, like good food, like 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:27.360 I think you love it, and I'm like And then 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.919 we started talking about restaurants, and I actually said to 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:34.920 them last night, like I can't I have a few restaurants, 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:36.680 Like if you come into town and you asked me 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.480 where should I eat? Like I have a few go 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:42.080 twos that like I can point you in a great direction. 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:44.800 But most of the time when someone coming to San 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.840 Francisco or into the Bay and they asked me, like 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:49.960 where should I go eat? I hit up Mark Spears 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:55.000 Because Mark Spears he knows every restaurant around here. He 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.800 has relationships with the owners like Mark Spears, and he 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:02.119 will never leave wrong like you, I can hit Mark 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:04.080 Experience and be like Mark, I'm looking for such a 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:06.840 such type fool with such a such type vibe, this, 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:11.000 that another, and right off back he like go here 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:14.359 or send them here? And like every time I asked Mark, 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.359 whether I go or I send someone rave reviews and 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:22.000 so like Mark Sperience is the guy out here if 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:25.120 you need to know, like he knows everybody, He knows 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:31.000 all the spots. Chill spots. Restaurants like Mark Sperience just 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:35.000 has a great feel for and a great like he 0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:39.320 just knows everyone and so um, I always go to 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:42.160 Mark Sperience. But if I had to say which one 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:50.600 is my favorite? Hum, that's such a broad question because 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:55.200 like you got favorites for different reasons, right, Like my 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:59.040 favorite breakfast spot may not be my favorite raw spot, 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:02.040
