1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,439
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Slum. I'm fourteen years old, well almost fifteen,

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: and I love the NBA. Today on the show, we

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: have one of the most recognizable players in the league.

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Some have called him Pi Griffinith and even the Rim Reaper.

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: Today we had a one and on Blake Grift.

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: So.

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: I've heard a rumor that during your rookie season with

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 1: the Clippers you were forced to carry around adoor the

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: Explore backpack and you had to have your teammates sweaty

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: socks in the backpack. Is that true?

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: Uh? The backpack, Yes, is true. The contents of the

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 2: backpack sort of varied at first. I had to carry

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: like playing cards for the older guys they played card.

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: I don't think I ever had dirty socks in there.

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to feel like DeAndre Jordan, I know who's

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: smell the worst.

17
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: But I guess yeah, it wasn't the If you like

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: lean into it and you just go along with it,

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: it's not as fun for them. But if you're like

20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: upset that you have to carry this backpack, then they

21
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 2: get more joy out of it. So I just kind

22
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: of leaned into it and was it pink? It was pink. Obviously,

23
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: just had Dora and boots on them.

24
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. But if your rookie season you were hurt to

25
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: you have we heard on the bench when you were

26
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: like no.

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: No, no, yeah, that would just staying on the bench

28
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: with the backpack. Yeah, no, thankfully, not on the bench

29
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: just when we traveled.

30
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean, people wear some interesting things in their hurts,

31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: so you still would have probably you somehow would have

32
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: been on like like lead to report fashion for your door.

33
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: The explorerbackpack would.

34
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 3: Have been like on the conservative side of the door

35
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 3: explorerback deck.

36
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: By the way, Kyle Kusma was going to listen to

37
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: this and be like, oh, I should do that, And

38
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: we're just like a Dora sew or something.

39
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 3: It's the next trend exactly.

40
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: We're trendsetters. Okay, So, as you know, I'm fourteen years old,

41
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: but I'm about to be fifteen and I'm going into

42
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: ninth grade. I know that you were homeschooled until about

43
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: eighth grade. So my normal question would be, you know,

44
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: I want to know everything about you when you were fourteen,

45
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: but I guess your life is a little different because

46
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: you just entered something that people had been in since kindergarten.

47
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: So just I want to know everything about your eighth

48
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: and ninth grade years.

49
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: So homeschooling for me was like not that crazy because

50
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: we had some friends at homeschool and they just like

51
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: didn't play sports.

52
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: They didn't I had a neighborhood full of kids.

53
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: My brother and I played every sport you can imagine,

54
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 2: so we were just constantly around kids, so it wasn't

55
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: too strange for me. My mom was a school teacher,

56
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: so the way she set it up was very Obviously

57
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: we didn't go from class to class, but we had

58
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 2: we went subject to subject every single day, same one.

59
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 3: You know. She had a lesson plan. We followed that.

60
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: So the best part about it was we started like

61
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: eight thirty and I was done around like twelve twelve

62
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: thirty every day. So my brother and I just like

63
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: did whatever. We'd go play outside, we play basketball, whatever

64
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: sport we were playing at the time. Wait for the

65
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: neighborhood kids see at home, play with them, and that

66
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: was kind of our day.

67
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: You entered like traditional school in eighth or nine into

68
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: eighth grade? Yeah, and what was that? Like? How tall

69
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: were you then?

70
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: I was probably like five eleven maybe like and then

71
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: grew to probably be like six one. I was like

72
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: six to one at the end of eighth grade, and

73
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: I was like six six at.

74
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: The beginning of that because of your hype, Did you

75
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: think you could make it to the league.

76
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: It was like a dream, but I wasn't. I was

77
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: like a I don't know, I just never it didn't.

78
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: It wasn't like a reality until it truly became a

79
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: reality for me. I was just always like somewhat skeptical,

80
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 2: but it was always a dream.

81
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: I feel like once you hit six six, you were

82
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: probably like, wait, this is actually probably.

83
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 3: Really the person goes up every every like inch taller

84
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 3: you get.

85
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, okay, so obviously in Oklahoma, Okay, see

86
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: is fairly new. So what team did you What was

87
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: your childhood team?

88
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: Honestly, growing up, it was more about like players because

89
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: back then, like we didn't have the league League Pass

90
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: to like be able to like watch every team. I

91
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: didn't really get to go on the internet and watch

92
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: like highlights. That wasn't like really a thing when I

93
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: was growing up, So I would just watch like the

94
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: national televised game. So I was like when I was young,

95
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: it was Michael Jordan and then it was like Vince Carter.

96
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: We would get like Lakers games next game. So I

97
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: was just kind of like watching players. I didn't really

98
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: have that like true affinity for a team.

99
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: Who was your favorite player?

100
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: My favorite player is Michael Jordan.

101
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: Always classic, very predictable. I was hoping you would say something.

102
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: Totally random, but something like Muggsy bogues.

103
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: Okay, don't no need to disrepect Muggsy. Fun fact, I

104
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: was actually for some wild reason, he posted a picture

105
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: of me on Instagram.

106
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: All right, well, let's hear the other story for that.

107
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: So I was at NBA Cares Day and I was volunteering,

108
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: and I don't know, he just like took a picture

109
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: with me. And then the next day I like looked

110
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: at his Instagram and I was like, did he post that?

111
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: That's so weird. But yeah, but Muggsy shout out, you

112
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: have good social media manager.

113
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: And he's a very nice guy, very nice guy.

114
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: So as you know, currently with AU and e y

115
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: b L NBA Prospects five Stars, four stars, they're playing

116
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: each other. They all they all know each other now

117
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: because they're going to the same place as like Peach

118
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: Jam and stuff like that. When when you were fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,

119
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: what players did you play man?

120
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 3: Everybody?

121
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: I mean, Derek Rose, Kevin Love, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Chandler

122
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: Parsons was a good friend of mine, like kind of

123
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: on the ey AU circuit at the time. Almost every

124
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: like every any guy that's like around my age.

125
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Was it obvious when you were there, Like if you

126
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: were like playing against Katie, was it just like obvious,

127
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: like you just knew at that moment that he was

128
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: gonna make it?

129
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he I mean he was like kind of

130
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: the same player. Like his games. I remember when you'd

131
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: play against his games, like the gym would be packed.

132
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: And he also played on a really good team. I

133
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: think Ty Lawson maybe played on his team played in

134
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: the NBA for a while. There was like tons of

135
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: guys on his team, So anytime you played those guys,

136
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: you always knew.

137
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 1: Like, were there any guys that were like drastically worse?

138
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: Like was crazy enough? But Kyrie you were like, wait,

139
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: he made it because when you saw him when you

140
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: were younger, that was crazy.

141
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: Uh nook, Like he was always really good from the beginning.

142
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: I think I probably was one of those guys that,

143
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: like I wasn't ranked until my junior year, so I

144
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: don't know.

145
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: I was sort of somewhat of a late bloomer.

146
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: But there's guys like that for sure, Like that, you

147
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: didn't really like Jimmy Butler, I don't think was really

148
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: like highly touted, even like Damian Lillard. Damian Lillard, Steph.

149
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Like people well because Dell, but like still he like

150
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: on his like it's not Max Preps, but whatever the

151
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: website was, he didn't even have a.

152
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: Picture for sure.

153
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, there's definitely guys like that always kind of

154
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: pop up. But there's also guys who are like super

155
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: highly ranked that it's hard to see that when you're

156
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: in high school and you're like competing against them, but once,

157
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 2: like as you're older, like now I look back, I'm

158
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 2: just like, man, you just can't take anything for ground.

159
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: Speaking of Steph, when Oklahoma played David Davidson, he dropped

160
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: forty four Okay, but you won. You had twenty one

161
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: rebounds and twenty five points. Right, did you in that

162
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: moment where you like, this kid is going to be

163
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: the greatest shooter ever? Is that just not when you're

164
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: like he was so young, you know, no one really knew,

165
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: but could you see that playing against him?

166
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: I mean, you knew he was going to be you

167
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 2: knew he was a great shooter. That was like our

168
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: whole scouting report coming into it. And the crazy thing

169
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 2: about that game, he had a good game, the whole game,

170
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: but like he really kind of went off at the

171
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: end too, and it was like it was one of

172
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: those moments.

173
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: Where it was like and they say, he's not clutch.

174
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy, that's crazy. That's a whole different thing.

175
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: See, you guys heard it here. Blake Griffin thinks Steph

176
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 1: Craz's clutch. So now you can't even debate it. Okay,

177
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: so let's move on. Now I heard about you when

178
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: you were a kid. That's cool, right, But now I

179
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: want to hear about your life as you grew older. Okay,

180
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: So the classic question, what was your welcome to the

181
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: league moment?

182
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: Welcome to the league moment?

183
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: We were playing It was a preseason game and we

184
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: were playing San Antonio. In San Antonio, I'd grown up

185
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: watching I read like a bunch of David Robinson books.

186
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: I had grown up watching him play.

187
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: For a long time. Tim Duncan play for a long time. Actually,

188
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: the first NBA game I ever went to was a

189
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: Spurs game. I was like nine years old, and I'm

190
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: warming up on one end and I just kind of

191
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: like glanced down at the other and not even thinking anything,

192
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: and Tim Duncan is like, you know, forty feet away

193
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: from me, like warming up, going through this whole thing,

194
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: and like, for some reason, that's when it like hit me,

195
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: that's crazy. I can't believe I'm about to do your stackshot.

196
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: I was like I had to like pull myself back

197
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: together and like, you know, keep warming up. But I

198
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: didn't really have one where it was like in the moment.

199
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: Of the game and well, you're lucky because your rookie

200
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: season was so dull and it was like everyone else

201
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: who's like puny little rookies and people were like dunking

202
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: on it. You were you were dunking on the vegan.

203
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: It was a little bit. I still had some moments

204
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 3: where you're just like, man, this guy is.

205
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: So good less than others, so let's be honest, less

206
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: than oother.

207
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 3: I appreciate it.

208
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: So I asked you what you're welcome to the league

209
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: moment is. But I think personally, as an LA kid,

210
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: I think you're lucky because you were drafted to the

211
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: Clippers and like Ella's a pretty fun place to be

212
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: drafted to. That's immediately like, come on, you're in Hollywood.

213
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: So instead of what you're welcome to league moment, what

214
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: was your welcome to LA moment? Like when was it

215
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: like you were drafted, you came to LA and you

216
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: were just like, I'm here, this is cool.

217
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

218
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: It's interesting that you say that, though, because at the

219
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: time when the Clippers got the first pick, everybody was

220
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: telling me to like take a stand, not not tell

221
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: the Clippers not to draft me. They'd had like a

222
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 2: long string of number one pick sping bus, they'd had

223
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: a you know, they had made the play, they'd made

224
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 2: the playoffs once in however many years.

225
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: You did bring them to the playoffs for the first

226
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: time since two thousand and six.

227
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: You know your stats. I don't know my welcome to LA.

228
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: I think like playing probably playing like in Staples against

229
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: the Lakers at the time when we first started, like

230
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: the Clippers, weren't you know, we we sort of got

231
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 2: it going.

232
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 3: But it's not it's not like the Lakers.

233
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: Was there anything with the celebrity.

234
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: Though that Like, yeah, I remember Jack Nicholson gave me

235
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: a little fist bump one time, like after I'd had

236
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: a dunk right before halftime, I was putting my mouth

237
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: beast down. I was walking by him, you know, you said,

238
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 2: right there by the away bench, and he gave me

239
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: a little fist bump and he didn't say anything, but

240
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: he kind of like did that, And I was like,

241
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: I love.

242
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you're drafted to the Clippers and

243
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: not like I was going to say the Magic, but.

244
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: I didn't want to, like oh right right, yeah, like

245
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: awkward with the.

246
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: Magic, but like it's true. I mean it would be

247
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: cooler to be you do want to alienate yourself.

248
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 3: To Magic fans?

249
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I still love you. That's pretty cool.

250
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little different.

251
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: Okay, So who is like a player that you go

252
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: up against that's it's not like an All Star but

253
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: every time he just guessed you like he's it's like

254
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: an underrated.

255
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: Player, uh like in my position or just in general,

256
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: just like.

257
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: In general, that's tough.

258
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 2: Uh So last season, Ish Smith, who actually played with

259
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: in Detroit two times. He actually he started out the

260
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: season with Charlotte and then finished the season with the

261
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: Washington Wizards twice in the second half, particularly in the

262
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, just destroyed us, like destroyed us. We had

263
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: a chance in both games. We didn't have a great

264
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: season last year, but he's one of those guys that

265
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: he's a guy that I always point to that's like,

266
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: you guys don't understand how good these guys are. Like

267
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: somebody who like isn't as well known, is just such

268
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: a good player and killed us two times in one

269
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: season with different teams in the same.

270
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: Way and we couldn't do anything. Yeah, he's great. He's

271
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 3: a great guy.

272
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: Should I get a jersey?

273
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: Yeah? Should get it Ish Smith Smith jersey.

274
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: Okay. I'm a really big Warriors fan, And something I

275
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: like to do is I like to get jerseys of

276
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: players that probably no one else has, not like no

277
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: one else, but like I like to be like, look

278
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: at me.

279
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: I like that.

280
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: So I rock a want Asconna Anderson a lot because

281
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: he was just traded to the Lakes Lakers, and I'm like,

282
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have bought jersey, but something about him leaving

283
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: that makes me want to buy a Dante DiVincenzo jersey.

284
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: But then I'm like, he's probably gonna leave two or

285
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: like a Quandary Weatherspoon, like, come on, that's so sick

286
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: if you rock that.

287
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like it's almost even better if they're like

288
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 2: if they're there for life, then it allows more people

289
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: to get that jer That jersey is.

290
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: Like theminga rookie. Come on, Like that's that's big time.

291
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: And like people in like ten years people are like, oh,

292
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: look at my comminga Jersey. I'm like, yeah, well when

293
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: comingo was, I mean, well, we know he's amazing, but

294
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: like he doesn't have his big of a role because

295
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: the Wars the Warriors, and like I I had a cominga.

296
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: Jersey and you have a wand just gone away Jersey.

297
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: Not that many people can say that.

298
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: That's why it's big time. I really wanted a Gary

299
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: Payton in the second Jersey, but he's now on the Trailblazers,

300
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: so I guess it was just meant to be that

301
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: it didn't come in time.

302
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: You know.

303
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, let that be a listen though exactly. I always

304
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: always pull the trigger on that one. Does sound fire chios? Yeah,

305
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: another great guy.

306
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: True, well you probably know better than me, but I

307
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: feel like he just seems really cool.

308
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

309
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: I played with him in Brooklyn, not this past season,

310
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: but the season before. It's hilarious and a really really

311
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: good basketball players.

312
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: Yes, he's only five eleven.

313
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tiny cheese what we call cheese.

314
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: So this is by far my favorite segment. Let's just

315
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,320

345
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: to be the end.

346
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he also like appreciates shoes that you just like,

347
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,120

350
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: I didn't see that. That is smart, very smart.

351
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: You should look it up. Who is the funniest current

Speaker 3: DeAndre Jordan?

354
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: Interesting? What's like the funniest thing he ever did? When

355
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: you were in LA? But it has to be appropriate

356
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: because I am still a kid.

357
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously.

358
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: I don't know I don't think it's just like a

359
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: He's just like has the ability to talk to everybody

360
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: or make everybody laugh. He's like one of those glue

361
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: guys on a team that sort of keeps everything like

362
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: and keeps people together.

363
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: Okay, Which NBA player is the best singer?

364
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 3: I would say Victor Oladipo.

365
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: I guess did you see him on the mask singer?

366
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 3: I did.

367
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: I saw a clip of it, but I didn't watch

368
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: the mask. He also has like an album, he does, Yeah,

369
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: he has an album. And one day we were at USA,

370
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: like doing in Vegas at USA like training camp, and

371
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: he was like just like singing, just like kind of

372
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: to himself.

373
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: Was like, Wow, Which NBA player is the best rapper?

374
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: Because that can start controversy.

375
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: Oh, that can't start controversy. I'll go with Dame Lillard.

376
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: I like, I feel like the other answer is slightly

377
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: problematic right now. You know what I'm saying. You guys

378
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: get it, get it, you get it.

379
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I'm just gonna keep going. And Andre

380
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 3: Drummons pretty good. Andre Drumm's pretty good too.

381
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: Which NBA player could run for president and win?

382
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 3: Chris Paul or c J McCollum probably.

383
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: Like a Christ of all. That is a really good call.

384
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: I feel like most people that I've asked said Lebron,

385
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: but I think Chris Paul because Lebron it's like some

386
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: people hate him, some people love him, whereas Chris Paul. Like,

387
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: I've never seen anyone who just like hates Chris Paul.

388
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been his teammate, like some refs, some refs,

389
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: but a lot of refs. Hey, that's only one vote.

390
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. That's true. It's true.

391
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: And he's been all around the league a lot of

392
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: different states. Would he would get their electoral college.

393
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: Votes and he was the NBPA president for while.

394
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so you were the rookie of the Year

395
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: and ESPN named you one of the top fifteen best

396
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: rookies of all time. So in this past NBA season,

397
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: if you like, not Adam Silvana, any of the journalists,

398
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: if you got to choose who the rookie of the

399
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: Year would be, would you still give it to Scotty Box.

400
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: Oh Man, Uh yeah, he had. I mean he had

401
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 3: a really good rookie year.

402
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: I thought I thought, uh, Cave Cuttingham had a great

403
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: rookie year too, it's just I don't I don't know

404
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: what we're doing with these awards, like.

405
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: Especially Rookie of the Year.

406
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: Like a lot of people's thing was, well, Scottie Barnes'

407
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: team is better than CAD's. Yeah, but like as a rookie,

408
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: like aren't you just supposed to be having like a

409
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: great season. I still think Scotty Barnes deserved it, but

410
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: I also think, like Evan Mobley is really I'm a.

411
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: Huge believer in that the NBA awards are corrupt because

412
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: most improved player I will I live by this. Jow

413
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: shouldn't have won. He is on a normal progression of

414
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: an NBA star. Jordan Poole went from playing in the

415
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: G League to being a starter in the NBA finals,

416
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: going back to the Wars. But it's not I'm not

417
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: being just okay, but it's not just about the worst.

418
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: Same with Desmond Baine and he I mean, Joe actually

419
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: gave the award to Desmond Bain after I don't know

420
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: if you saw, but like same with Desmond Baine. It's

421
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: these guys who went from me second round picks late

422
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: first round picks in the G League then being big players.

423
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: Jaw Is incredible, but he's he has a normal progression,

424
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: Like he went from like Rookie of the Year to

425
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: an All Star. Like next he would probably get MVP,

426
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: but that doesn't make sense.

427
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: I actually do agree with you not to take anything

428
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: away from Jaba.

429
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: No, of course not.

430
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: He had an unbelievable year, but you're right, he like

431
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year to All Star to like it's

432
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: tough to give somebody a Rookie of the Year and

433
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: then I also a most improved player.

434
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: It's like if they gave you most improved Player during

435
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: your like rookie season because your first season didn't play

436
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: and you'd be like, I mean, yeah, technically I improved from

437
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: sitting on the bench.

438
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, this guy didn't play at all last year,

439
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 2: and look at him now.

440
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: He went from not playing to un that's amazing. So

441
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: now we're going to move on to our final segment.

442
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: It's funnycause we talked about Muggsy Bogues very short, the

443
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: shortest player to ever play in the NBA, Maneu Bowl

444
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: the tallest player to ever play NBA. So we're gonna

445
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: go with Muggsy or Maneu, two very different things. And

446
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: I want to hear your choice.

447
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,920

00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 2: always go see salt cream and cookies. But I tried

473
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: it last time.

474
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: I think my dad may have gotten like olive oil

475
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: from there once. That was a really.

476
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 3: Question interesting I got to talk about.

477
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: It was like, that's not that's clash, no choice I left.

478
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: It was like, I'm not sleeping in your house.

479
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 3: You know what I'm driving home?

480
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Michael Jordan or Lebron James? Oh, I love you though.

481
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, listen, when you have to pick one, it's

482
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: not like that you're saying one's bad.

483
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: And like, I, as a Warriors fan, personally believe that

484
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: Steph just ruined Lebron's chances of being the greatest of

485
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: all time. I mean, they both have four rings.

486
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 3: Is this a Warriors podcast?

487
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: It's not a Warriors podcast. But if the Warriors wanted

488
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: to sponsor me, I wouldn't say no.

489
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, we got to get a

490
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: Warriors player on.

491
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: I know if you would love to text one of them,

492
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: that would be great.

493
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: I'll try. I'll try.

494
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: Great, that will work well for me. Another high five? Okay,

495
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: Zion or jaw oh Man.

496
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 3: I mean I think you just got to go.

497
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 2: I think you gotta go job just because he's we

498
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 2: haven't seen Zion play.

499
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 3: I love Zion's game.

500
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: Giving Zion the most important player wouldn't be crazy because

501
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: he's had a different progression, but.

502
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: He's still he's averaged like twenty. I guess if he

503
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: went from like I don't know what he averages, but

504
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 2: he went from like twenty to like thirty, I guess.

505
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: But still, it's like you should probably give that award

506
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 2: to guys who, like, you know, went from like seven

507
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: to fifteen or like twelve to twenty, you know.

508
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: And I also think something about him is like people

509
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: didn't realize when he played how good he was. He

510
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: was the youngest ever starting All Star and yes that

511
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: was because someone was hurt, but like, still he's is.

512
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 3: That jar or wait oh Zion really?

513
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: Yeah? And like he's done so much he just hasn't

514
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: been able to show it. But Jaw's jaw.

515
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 3: Last season was Yeah, he was, he was, he was great.

516
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. New York or La La good? You know what,

517
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: you get another high five for that one. I love

518
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: New York City, but like La is the place to be?

519
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 3: No, yeah, they're both great.

520
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: Rinaldo or Messy.

521
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 3: Oh messy.

522
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: I saw a TikTok yesterday and it was parking spaces

523
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: at the Nike headquarters and your parking spot is next

524
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: to Ronaldo. So maybe he crashed his car in two

525
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: years after he heard that you think messy.

526
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh that's cool. You set me up with his question.

527
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ronaldo just swam right into him. Oh maybe like

528
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: in six months, I'm going to be able to get

529
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: my permit and Ronaldo can give me my lessons and

530
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: I'll be like, I think we should go to the

531
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: to the Nike parking lot and then we'll just go

532
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: like straight into your car.

533
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 3: After we do this podcast, you're gonna advocate this.

534
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: It would go viral on TikTok and I would film

535
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: it so like I've again, not a good decision, but

536
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: probably would go viral.

537
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 3: You hear that drivers drivers instructor.

538
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: That's not good Doris Burke or me.

539
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, come on.

540
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: My guy. I think that's a really good way to end,

541
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: Blake Griffin. You heard it here first people. I'm pretty

542
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,320
