Speaker 3: foot down and really make a bold make some bold
Speaker 3: predictions that we can revisit at the end of the season.

Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Even though Metherurin was not looking great in the Summer League,
Speaker 7: I think I.
Speaker 2: Think they're gonna be great.
Speaker 5: And he didn't close strong last year, but I feel
Speaker 5: like I feel like he's a player, he'll figure it out.
Speaker 5: And yeah, thirty five wins last year.
Speaker 4: M hmm, well year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Pacers. I talked to my U, one of
Speaker 5: my two Pacers fan friends this weekend, and he's like

Speaker 3: the greatest impact?
Speaker 4: What's a trade?
Speaker 3: Everyone's just like, you don't realize this is that's enriched

Speaker 5: I think Grant Williams is going to get Dallas up
Speaker 5: into the playing tournaments.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Superducer Jabbari is big on Dallas's off season.
Speaker 5: I was not, but I think their off season was
Speaker 5: better than their season.

Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you want to peek, Well, no one's playing.
Speaker 7: Wait you see what they did off the court? Should

Speaker 7: into the shooting gall alley shooting.
Speaker 4: Yeah you did? Yeah, did it again?
Speaker 9: Crossfire? There we go, crossfire, hurricane Josh.
Speaker 3: Now this is the fastest segment. Now we're going to
Speaker 3: ask you a question. You're gonna just respond react, just
Speaker 3: chest past from that. Yeah, exactly, don't cloviate, don't expand
Speaker 3: on your answers. And Jack and I start talking, just
Speaker 3: cut us off, be rude.

Speaker 7: You're supposed to keep us moving here.
Speaker 9: Yeah, this is gonna have it go wrong, sport.
Speaker 4: We're talking about the wrong sport. Okay, yeah, really, let
Speaker 4: us wander off. Yeah, I know, I.
Speaker 3: Know, but here we go, Josh question. Oh actually, uh,

Speaker 8: Brian, start the claw.
Speaker 7: Brian's not even here, Miles, Well, he's here in spirit.
Speaker 7: Well that's all that matters.
Speaker 4: You want to go first or I go first?

Speaker 2: know where I am.
Speaker 3: All right, I get it, I get it, Joe Biden,
Speaker 3: we're all up in there, all right. So Josh, we're
Speaker 3: asking each guest which young bombs will have a breakout.
Speaker 4: Season in twenty three twenty four.
Speaker 3: Some of the guys we've been tossing around our Tyrese Maxey,
Speaker 3: Al Shanngoon, Austin Reeves, Kate Cunningham.
Speaker 4: Uh, who's throwing in the mix?
Speaker 7: The k am looking like you just came down off
Speaker 7: the mountain, you know. Yeah, he is looking rough.
Speaker 8: Jack.
Speaker 5: This is for you. I think it's gonna be Tyrese Maxey.
Speaker 5: I think it's the I think it's the year of Maxie.
Speaker 2: What I'd like to hear?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'd like the year max we'd like to Yeah,
Speaker 3: give show. Tyres isn't your kid's favorite player.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he loves it. The only player he knows in
Speaker 7: any sport. And so if you know baseball is on,
Speaker 7: he's like, where's Maxie? So yeah, we're working on some
Speaker 7: things with him.
Speaker 5: He learned about all sports from Bo Jackson and Dean Sanders.
Speaker 2: He's like, well, you should play both of them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Guys did it thirty years ago?
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's the problem.
Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, Josh, I have a magic wand you
Speaker 7: can have any player's skill set for a day. Who
Speaker 7: are you choosing? What skill set are you?
Speaker 2: Are you picking from them?
Speaker 5: I want I want that Aaron Gordon prime dunk contest
Speaker 5: dunk ability.
Speaker 2: Is this the second Aaron Gordon we've gotten?
Speaker 4: I think so it is?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Aaron Gordon's perimeter defense defense?
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, they said, just like the gritty perimeter defense
Speaker 7: and fundamental.
Speaker 5: I just want to be able for one day to
Speaker 5: guard across five positions.
Speaker 2: In the NBA?
Speaker 4: What what kind of dunk would you be doing? What
Speaker 4: are you trying? When you got that kind of list?
Speaker 5: I would want to jump. I would want to do
Speaker 5: one of those jumping over a guy or jumping over
Speaker 5: a thing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, wasn't that birthday cake one or was that his opponent?
Speaker 7: I feel like there was one in that dunk. It
Speaker 7: was him and Zach Lavine, right yeah, and like one
Speaker 7: of them blew out a birthday cake.
Speaker 5: It was a cupcake, right yeah?
Speaker 7: Jerald with a candle, yeah yeah, never ignore me.
Speaker 3: Yeh when he blew the candle up. Where are we at, Josh, Josh,
Speaker 3: you got to keep this segment.
Speaker 8: Going, you know, get up there.
Speaker 5: As my producing skills, they're rusty. I've been on sea.
Speaker 3: Oh, here we go. Who do you pick in their
Speaker 3: ultimate peak? Prime Shack or prime Hockey?
Speaker 5: Oh? I esthetically I prefer Prime to watch.
Speaker 7: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: That's all.
Speaker 5: Okay, rapid fire, that's my whole answer.
Speaker 4: But why is that?
Speaker 5: Is this a trick?
Speaker 4: No asking? Just like I've never heard of this player?
Speaker 4: I like Shack. I'm a Lakers fan. I only know
Speaker 4: Laker players, so I was like, who is this guy?
Speaker 5: I think Shaq was so exciting and dynamic and dominant,
Speaker 5: but like Hakeem played with the level of there was
Speaker 5: like so much finesse to his game and played great defense,
Speaker 5: which I always give extra points for.
Speaker 3: This guy sounds almost made up, Josh, And I'm gonna
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go ahead and made up this guy.
Speaker 8: I didn't make it what you said him to me.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 9: You gotta keep this segment going, Josh, this ship your miles.
Speaker 8: Next question, you can.
Speaker 7: Take two players from all of history you create your
Speaker 7: Mad Boosti's edition NBA JAM team.
Speaker 2: Which two players are you taking? Oh?
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm going from the world of NBA Jam to
Speaker 5: start like NBA Jam. Sean Kemp is unstoppable and he's
Speaker 5: on this team. I'm just keeping him in that world.
Speaker 5: And then I think it's Steph Curry and Seawan Camp.
Speaker 5: I think he's Steph.
Speaker 7: Curry's Curry and big like a Curry and somebody who
Speaker 7: could just like chuck you across the court like that.
Speaker 7: That seemed to be such a great skill that you
Speaker 7: really needed in there.
Speaker 3: I was gonna go with Jeff Hornise and Grimace from Mcdonmmer's.
Speaker 7: Similar thinking, the same same thought, Yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 5: The Grimace is like he's got touch around the basket.
Speaker 2: Like surprising, surprising.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't run.
Speaker 5: A lot of place for the Grimace, but he's got that.
Speaker 4: They need to they need to. Yeah, they're not seeing
Speaker 4: what I'm seeing I guess. Okay, how about this. You
Speaker 4: can again?
Speaker 3: Now you have superpowers, You've got a time machine, you
Speaker 3: got all that Bill and Ted's phone booth. You can
Speaker 3: place any former Celtics great on next year's roster.
Speaker 9: Who are you adding to the mix?
Speaker 5: So they need they need like toughness and grit and defense.
Speaker 2: And Marcos Smart.
Speaker 5: Who which I think they call Bill Russell two point
Speaker 5: oh yeah, but I mean I gotta go Bill Russell.
Speaker 5: Like Bill Russell team. There's no to them on the
Speaker 5: defensive end. But yeah, you know what, Marcus Smart. Bill
Speaker 5: Russell's number two. Okay, good, He's.
Speaker 7: Always been number two behind him. And finally Jack, which
Speaker 7: is me or Miles that other guy over there.
Speaker 5: I have to pick one of the two of you,
Speaker 5: and I don't. There's no parameters.
Speaker 4: The question is Jack or Miles?
Speaker 2: Do you just call him John?
Speaker 9: I said, Josh, don't try and establish dude.
Speaker 5: If I have to pick Jack Miles, I'll kill myself.
Speaker 2: John.
Speaker 4: We'll take that. We'll take that, Josh.
Speaker 3: We're going to ask you a question. Don't think too quickly.
Speaker 3: Just chest pass us the ball right back with your answer.
Speaker 3: Don't expand upon it because we like to get through
Speaker 3: as many questions as quickly as possible, and we want
Speaker 3: to keep our record attack. So if we start blow
Speaker 3: viating or expanding, we need you to come in interrupt
Speaker 3: and say, hey, get the steam.
Speaker 4: And look, you've been on you know, been on TV.
Speaker 4: You've been in the hot seat before. Yeah, network broadcast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, uh so I guess we will get into it.
Speaker 4: Are you ready?
Speaker 7: I'm ready to Can I start with the first one
Speaker 7: because I have it?
Speaker 4: Well, hold on?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you do it?
Speaker 8: Start the clock?
Speaker 4: Oh wow?
Speaker 3: Yeah, see they gotta I gotta get people's attention out there.
Speaker 7: Literally a lot of people have stopped what they were
Speaker 7: doing and looked over here.
Speaker 3: You guys, there's a podcast happening over here.
Speaker 8: Check it out.
Speaker 7: Try and make your way through the care We should
Speaker 7: have opened with Brian start the clock, all right. I
Speaker 7: have a derivation on the what teams we want to cover,
Speaker 7: So we're talking teams we want to cover in the
Speaker 7: off season.
Speaker 4: Obviously we have.
Speaker 7: Like the Spurs, okay, see Magic Sons, the Rockets, Portland,
Speaker 7: and the Mavericks.
Speaker 8: So far.
Speaker 7: You have the opportunity to either add a new team
Speaker 7: that we should be covering and like paying attention to
Speaker 7: in the off season, or take one of those teams
Speaker 7: off because I have some on that.
Speaker 8: List in the list one more time.
Speaker 7: Spurs Wemby Okay, see chet, those aren't going anywhere.
Speaker 2: I don't care if you tell us to get rid
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 7: The Magic Suns, Rockets, a lot of young pieces Portland
Speaker 7: Scoot Mavericks.
Speaker 8: I'm ready to get the Rockets out of that. I
Speaker 8: am too.
Speaker 10: Yeah, my dirty work, Yeah, no way, yeah, because I
Speaker 10: think what they did was add kind of not boring
Speaker 10: but less intriguing players at positions where they had more
Speaker 10: intriguing players, and Dylan Brooks are going to be less
Speaker 10: touches for your Jalen Greens.
Speaker 4: You know, yeah, I think I think that's the right answer.
Speaker 3: Let's see, you can place any Formers, Blazers great on
Speaker 3: next year's roster, any of them? Which former person he's
Speaker 3: taking out the time machine and putting.
Speaker 4: In that jersey?
Speaker 7: Bill Walton seventy seven Walton Okay, yeah, yeah, was he good?
Speaker 8: It's really good. He was really good.
Speaker 5: Good.
Speaker 10: I think he would like expand the mind ke Walton.
Speaker 8: Did I say Bill Walt and then.
Speaker 4: When he was just born in seventy seven, what.
Speaker 10: Luke Walton's arm tattoo personified playing on our tune.
Speaker 8: I think you got a seventy seven Bill Walton out there,
Speaker 8: just moving the ball around the offense.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, with the mind expanding.
Speaker 7: I don't think there's ever been like somebody who was
Speaker 7: openly like into psychedelics in the.
Speaker 10: League is criminalized in Portland right now, he would have
Speaker 10: a different time.
Speaker 4: He's coming back around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he has like his best game games
Speaker 3: and areas are like Psilocybin's legalize, like Golden State.
Speaker 4: He's just going off.
Speaker 8: Land all the time.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna all right?
Speaker 7: What's your all time Blazers NBA Jam squad?
Speaker 10: Oh my god, actual people are like, woo what I
Speaker 10: put on there? Okay, recency bias? Put Scoot and Jade
Speaker 10: and Sharp on there right now, just dunking. If I
Speaker 10: have to take recency bias out of it, it's Damian
Speaker 10: Lillard and Chide Wallace.
Speaker 3: Oh clears for to add that in NBA Jam to
Speaker 3: kind of make like NFL Blitz where there's also like
Speaker 3: unhinged like fine.
Speaker 9: Defense to But it was like that was one of
Speaker 9: the best skills you could have.
Speaker 2: It's just like, you know, check them across.
Speaker 3: Yeah, burn right through somebody. Okay, how about this best
Speaker 3: NBA city to catch a game in? And when you're
Speaker 3: in that city, what's the best meal you can have?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 10: I mean I have have to evangelize for Portland Oregon
Speaker 10: here and let me lay out. I'll give you another
Speaker 10: option after that, but let me lay out the argument Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 8: Other than our soccer teams, it's.
Speaker 10: A one town. It's a one team town, you know
Speaker 10: what I mean. Blazer's fans are passionate, even when they're bad.
Speaker 10: You're going to see people who really care about the game,
Speaker 10: but who for the most part, aren't jerks. And then
Speaker 10: after the game, you can take yourself to a little
Speaker 10: restaurant called Canard, which is my favorite restaurant in the world,
Speaker 10: and get yourself some high end steamburger sliders cassle but
Speaker 10: like high end amazing dessert.
Speaker 8: The food is fantastic.
Speaker 3: I remember you reminded this to us when I was
Speaker 3: there recently, and I did not go, oh yeah, made
Speaker 3: a mistake in.
Speaker 8: A Blazers game. You got a whole season in front
Speaker 8: of you to do.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, And if you didn't have to evangelize for
Speaker 3: your town.
Speaker 8: If I didn't have to evangelize for my town, I'm
Speaker 8: going to say.
Speaker 10: Something a little bit sacrilegious right now, go ahead, I'm
Speaker 10: gonna do it.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna say, go see a Laker.
Speaker 4: Games about.
Speaker 10: Because of Twitter, I think Laker fans get like a
Speaker 10: bad rap sometimes because Laker fans.
Speaker 3: Is also just terrible. Any group on Twitter is getting
Speaker 3: a bad rapp But if.
Speaker 10: You as a Blazer fan, this again, this hurts for
Speaker 10: me to say that is a fantastic fan base.
Speaker 8: They're great. They like understand the game, They're passionate.
Speaker 10: They get like they have like in depth smack talk,
Speaker 10: you know what I mean, Like if you make fun
Speaker 10: of Sam Perkins or whatever, they're going to understand what
Speaker 10: that means. Like what Like, they're up for anything. They're smart,
Speaker 10: they're passionate. And then after that, Oh, what's my favorite
Speaker 10: restaurant in LA? Right now, you come over to my
Speaker 10: house and I'll cook you up something on the backyard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll put We'll make sure we have Ian's address
Speaker 3: in the show description.
Speaker 4: Guys, so you guys can pull up anytime. Okay, literally great?
Speaker 8: Yeah, all right?
Speaker 7: If you could add one skill set from a player
Speaker 7: for a day.
Speaker 4: What player would it be in?
Speaker 7: What skill set?
Speaker 8: Any player skill set?
Speaker 4: Like it's like a like mic type situation.
Speaker 8: Will be Aaron Gordon's Slam.
Speaker 4: Doctor modern day Aaron Gordon.
Speaker 10: I mean maybe even like four years ago, like the
Speaker 10: peak of the slamdunk contest. Yeah, just three point shooting
Speaker 10: his friend setting now really but like especially if.
Speaker 11: It was me and my current body, Yeah yeah, right,
Speaker 11: all of a sudden, I like walked into a twenty
Speaker 11: four hour fitness like walked into a game, and like,
Speaker 11: cause do that say it like that.
Speaker 3: Because hold on, man, we're about to finish this game up.
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 10: Ok one second though, and then just like go do
Speaker 10: something like insane.
Speaker 8: I mean that would be right here or it's Pier
Speaker 8: on the Depo second voice, and those are.
Speaker 3: The wow beautiful wow, like honey, if you could okay,
Speaker 3: how about this, if you if like, of all the
Speaker 3: highlights that have occurred in NBA history and basketball history,
Speaker 3: if you could embody a player within a highlight and
Speaker 3: be like, I physically can experience what happened in that moment?
Speaker 4: Is it the same thing now?
Speaker 9: Is there so biased?
Speaker 10: But it's the bad it's the bad shot it's not
Speaker 10: even the Houston one. It's the one over Oklahoma City,
Speaker 10: just because of everything that happened after that, the arena
Speaker 10: going crazy, his family being courtside, the team dog piling
Speaker 10: on him.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the meme happening immediately.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, two different memes, three different memes, actually, like three different.
Speaker 8: Memes from like one shot.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 8: And that maybe I might actually start crying.
Speaker 10: Yeah, please, I think that will be it.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: And finally Jack or Miles.
Speaker 8: Oh, I got to pick it to a Jack or Miles.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh god, See this is tough.
Speaker 10: This is tough because Miles, we have a we have
Speaker 10: a relationship going back.
Speaker 8: We're friends, friends with your wife. Jack. Jack is related
Speaker 8: to doctor Jack Ramsey namesake. Yeah, I gotta take the ore.
Speaker 3: Wow, the diplomatic, but the difference, I mean the listeners.
Speaker 3: The listeners will respect that Jack and I so much. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: we think that's a that's just a bunch of bold.
Speaker 8: But a good deal is when nobody's happened.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Brian start the clock.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 7: He even cleared his throat t yell at Brian, do
Speaker 7: you're gonna go?
Speaker 4: I would you like to go? Where should I go?
Speaker 7: To?
Speaker 4: Myles? I think you did that last time. I feel
Speaker 4: like you're setting me up.
Speaker 2: Oh, I would love it for you to go.
Speaker 4: That's like when you made me eat that burger and
Speaker 4: you put all those spicy chilis in it, and why
Speaker 4: don't you pick a bite? All right, here we go
Speaker 4: first one up, I will go emon.
Speaker 3: We're gonna be talking a lot about teams we want
Speaker 3: to cover in the off season, Spurs.
Speaker 4: Or obviously want to talk about them. Uh, what's a
Speaker 4: team you're expecting things from?
Speaker 3: We've talked about obviously the Rockets, Portland, Magic, et cetera.
Speaker 9: Who else should we be keeping our eye on?
Speaker 13: The Mavericks. That's the first team that came to mind.
Speaker 13: And now I don't think so because they seem boring.
Speaker 4: But sure, okay, now what is it about the maver
Speaker 4: We're talking about Kyrie?
Speaker 13: And I'm just like, are they bringing him back?
Speaker 6: They have to?
Speaker 13: Does he want to be there? He's got to?
Speaker 4: It seems cut and dry, right right, Mark?
Speaker 7: I think Cubans I love that ad.
Speaker 3: I think I was actually mad that it felt like
Speaker 3: the image of his face that was burned onto the
Speaker 3: bun was like done in post and they didn't actually
Speaker 3: burn it into the piece of bread.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like my response.
Speaker 7: I was like, you didn't even you didn't even singe
Speaker 7: the bread properly to have his face on this done
Speaker 7: and post he is, I'm sorry, min, you got to
Speaker 7: keep this.
Speaker 4: You got to keep this going. We have to keep
Speaker 4: this going.
Speaker 13: Sorry, But then I would have I would have walked
Speaker 13: away without that tidbit. And now every time I see
Speaker 13: the commercial, it's going to be.
Speaker 9: They're messing around with you.
Speaker 7: Why would they be called mars Cubans if my face
Speaker 7: isn't burnt onto them. I'm just saying exactly.
Speaker 13: I'm really bad at keeping it going.
Speaker 7: Okay, any former Raptor great on next year's roster? Which
Speaker 7: former great are you adding to this mix? Oh, Kawhi
Speaker 7: Leonard is good at basketball?
Speaker 9: Or Kawhi Leonard like time machine Kawhi Leonard?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, he was pretty good back then. It's a
Speaker 7: good it was a good answer.
Speaker 8: What happened?
Speaker 13: You know what? Like, can I get like Elijuan with
Speaker 13: one hundred when he joined the Raptors he might have
Speaker 13: been thirty five?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but take peak, I don't Can we
Speaker 2: get to the time, can we get a ruling?
Speaker 7: Do they have to have been at their peak time
Speaker 7: as a raptor in.
Speaker 3: Order to it's their time as a raptor or change
Speaker 3: a proof we've just heard.
Speaker 7: Oh, so can be Hakeem. This is a great an
Speaker 7: you can time machine. Wow, that's a new dimension to
Speaker 7: this question. Now it's everybody's forgotten since he got hurt,
Speaker 7: But Kawhi for the first two games of the postseason
Speaker 7: was the best player in the NBA.
Speaker 2: Of this pause season.
Speaker 4: It's so wild.
Speaker 2: He's still so good if he is healthy.

Speaker 9: You know what I had when we did our live
Speaker 9: show in Toronto?
Speaker 8: I have.
Speaker 13: Okay, Yeah, those were good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't realize and then we don't need another question.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm also the like the West Indian food, like the
Speaker 3: Caribbean food over there.
Speaker 4: Love that that's we had lunch. We had fantastic bread stuff.
Speaker 7: In Yeah, I love the city of Toronto, some of
Speaker 7: my favorite people the whole world.
Speaker 13: Question number six, are we coming back to Toronto?
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're definitely going back. We might just move there
Speaker 7: and make our show permanently part of that. And with
Speaker 7: that question we brings us to the final question. Jacker
Speaker 7: Miles will remind you that I was the one just
Speaker 7: saying all the nice stuff about Toronto. I'm Jack, Jacker, Miles.
Speaker 4: Giles, Giles Mill, who's that? Who's that?
Speaker 13: It's a combination. Actually, let's go back to talking about
Speaker 13: Parochis and and.
Speaker 4: Oh you mon, I love that. Okay, that was That
Speaker 4: was a great diplomatic answer.
Speaker 3: We appreciate you going right down that you couldn't choose
Speaker 3: one of your favorites.
Speaker 2: That I got it.
Speaker 4: Fine. Who do you think of Giles?
Speaker 7: Is also pretty fun?
Speaker 2: But of the two, if.
Speaker 7: We want sort of Giles, are you emphasizing more than poutine?
Speaker 13: If I really had to.
Speaker 7: Pen and I think we know what that means?
Speaker 4: You ready? Oh wait? I thought too much? Yes, I'm ready.
Speaker 4: There we go, Bryan, start the clock. Okay, Jack, are
Speaker 4: you gonna go first?
Speaker 2: Or oh I'd love for you to go first.
Speaker 4: Miles.
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go, Busy what is your favorite NBA
Speaker 3: city to visit and what is your must have meal
Speaker 3: in that city?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 14: Man, uh, probably San Francisco and must.
Speaker 4: Restaurant the best?
Speaker 2: What's your favorite what's to San Francisco?
Speaker 4: To go to Proger and forget forget the name of
Speaker 4: the rest.
Speaker 14: I think it's something simple as like Mama's or something
Speaker 14: kitchen or bakery or something. But it's like this breakfast
Speaker 14: place that people stand outside and line fork and so
Speaker 14: I just love breakfast and I like, you know, yeah, yeah, what's.
Speaker 4: The way, what's the what? What makes it?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 4: What are you getting at the really well made breakfast food? Okay, okay,
Speaker 4: I love breakfast food.
Speaker 7: I loves you hate the Courage bagels in La Miles
Speaker 7: If you had that, I've got Courage bagels. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: I just had that for the first time this weekend.
Speaker 7: I ate like five bagels at a birthday party. I
Speaker 7: was like boxing the kids out. I was like no,
Speaker 7: They're like, oh no, all right? Is he? First of all,
Speaker 7: you got to keep us more on track than that.
Speaker 14: Don't not the best with these speed of these questions,
Speaker 14: like I try to think about it and maybe don't
Speaker 14: have something on the top of my head, but I'll
Speaker 14: try harder.
Speaker 7: All Right, we're talking teams that we want to cover
Speaker 7: in the off season, you know that that people might
Speaker 7: not be paying attention to, but just like previewing them.
Speaker 7: I think so far we've discussed the Spurs, shoe In, Okay,
Speaker 7: see shoe in. What's a team that you're expecting is
Speaker 7: going to be interesting to watch next season that you
Speaker 7: know people might not have their eye on.
Speaker 4: Orlando Magic.
Speaker 2: Orlando Magic be passing the ball to you.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Wow, what is it about Orlando?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 4: This is the slowest game ever.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 14: Well, first of all, I really hope they drafted Sar
Speaker 14: Thompson because I think he's going to be really good,
Speaker 14: as will his twin brother Amen Thompson. But in today's
Speaker 14: NBA front court, maybe two through four combo of Plo,
Speaker 14: Bang Caro, Franz Wagner and Sar Thompson would be absolutely
Speaker 14: like it's It would be great for somebody like I
Speaker 14: exposed to for example, so many options, so many things
Speaker 14: to do with that trio. They have everything except Ben
Speaker 14: Caro probably not as great a shooter.
Speaker 4: Thompson going to be a good enough shooter.
Speaker 14: He's actually really good shooting the ball right now and
Speaker 14: everything else that they can do, and their approach to
Speaker 14: the game.
Speaker 4: Like, I think that's going to be a really fun group.
Speaker 14: And even somebody like Markel Foltz who's not really required
Speaker 14: to do as much, he's having a lot of fun
Speaker 14: over there. And if you give him more talent around him,
Speaker 14: he's going to be, you know, even better. He's fun
Speaker 14: to watch. And so I think Orlando, and it's not
Speaker 14: just a Florida bias because I'm not a huge fan
Speaker 14: of Florida right now, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 7: As a Sixers fan, I've never heard of this Mark
Speaker 7: hell Foltz a little bit you're talking about, but he
Speaker 7: sounds like.
Speaker 4: I know not of this man. By the way, the
Speaker 4: restaurant or his shooting is on Washington Square. That's there,
Speaker 4: It is there, it is. That's what I love that.
Speaker 9: Sorry, we got to keep this second.
Speaker 4: I'm it's all good. It's all good. I gotta ask
Speaker 4: you this question.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 3: You can go back and attend any single playoff game in.
Speaker 4: NBA history, any game. Which game are you choosing? Do
Speaker 4: I know what's gonna happen?
Speaker 13: Like?
Speaker 4: Do I know the result?
Speaker 2: It's a great philosophical question. Do we memory what?
Speaker 4: Wow, Oh yes you don't know.
Speaker 7: Super producer Jabari's coming through saying, yes, you are a
Speaker 7: Biff Tanner in this.
Speaker 4: You got you know the Sports Almanac.
Speaker 14: I'm gonna go ahead and say Kobe's eighty one, especially now. Uh,
Speaker 14: you know, I remember where I was, and I do
Speaker 14: not do that very often, because man, my memory is
Speaker 14: terrible long term. But I was at Hard Rock Hotel
Speaker 14: and Casino when I got a text.
Speaker 4: I forget who the text was from.
Speaker 14: See, somebody sent me a message and said Kobe has
Speaker 14: seventy and I said it was a fact, and I
Speaker 14: just stopped everything I was doing and just went to
Speaker 14: the middle bar and h TBS that had the NBA
Speaker 14: TV on. And it wasn't the most entertaining of finishes,
Speaker 14: but I know if I was there, I think I
Speaker 14: would have had just a lot of fun watching that,
Speaker 14: because I mean, you know, it's that, and it's it's
Speaker 14: will and so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's probably my answer.
Speaker 7: There are very few like flashbulb moments of like any
Speaker 7: any pop culture in my lifetime, but Kobe getting eighty one, Like,
Speaker 7: I remember where I was when I found out that
Speaker 7: game was happening, and like running to the TV and
Speaker 7: Lebron going off against Detroit for that first time when
Speaker 7: it was like, oh, okay, so he is right. I
Speaker 7: know that could like to say that now that he
Speaker 7: really is him all right? Is there a single NBA
Speaker 7: player you would take right now over the chance of
Speaker 7: taking Wembayama with the first pick this summer?
Speaker 14: I would say, I don't know how many people you've
Speaker 14: asked this question, but I would say most people would
Speaker 14: lean toward taking the short thing, right. So if I
Speaker 14: could switch that for I mean, who is the youngest
Speaker 14: up and coming star. I probably don't want to get
Speaker 14: Jason Tatum right If I could trade it right now
Speaker 14: for Dakola Jokic, is that an option?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Jokich is an option. And I feel like we
Speaker 7: haven't had anybody heading in the playoffs. We hadn't anybody,
Speaker 7: say Jokic, and I feel like he has played his
Speaker 7: way into that seems like the right answer, or at
Speaker 7: least a completely valid answer.
Speaker 2: At this point. It's like, oh, yeah, that's yeah, probably
Speaker 2: makes sense right.
Speaker 14: Because I mean every for everybody that thinks though he's
Speaker 14: definitely gonna get hurt if his body type, like you
Speaker 14: don't think the people around him wo have been like
Speaker 14: nurturing him and taking care of him and wanting him
Speaker 14: to be this next great thing, have not considered that
Speaker 14: possibility that maybe they should train him properly so that
Speaker 14: he doesn't get hurt or it's there's technology to sort
Speaker 14: of predict these types of things and knowing what to train.
Speaker 14: Like I think more than ever now you can't really
Speaker 14: make that argument, Like you can't really make that prediction anymore,
Speaker 14: because even if he does have some sort of like
Speaker 14: nobody thinks chet Homegrid's done right, He's just oh, all right,
Speaker 14: early first year, got a bad, unlucky injury, whatever, he'll
Speaker 14: be fine. I don't think you can predict injury with him.
Speaker 4: And you know, in the NBA.
Speaker 14: With the way it protects its offensive players, now, like
Speaker 14: what are you going to do against him if he
Speaker 14: rises up from distance, Like you have to get entirely
Speaker 14: out of his way unless you can block that shot. Yeah,
Speaker 14: And so I think he just provides too many possibilities
Speaker 14: and we've seen too much of an evolution of the game,
Speaker 14: like Yannest. You know, obviously, if I think if if
Speaker 14: we redraft, he's number one in that season in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 4: But I think even if we don't know how good he.
Speaker 14: Can be, I think just his body type and his
Speaker 14: personality probably from an interview, gets him drafted in the
Speaker 14: top fifteen this year. You know, right, Yeah, I don't
Speaker 14: think anybody's passing up that possibility just because it's it's
Speaker 14: so unique, and you know, even with a guy like Jokic,
Speaker 14: you just don't know.
Speaker 4: He could get hurt anytime too. Yeah.
Speaker 7: People talk about like his size and health and they're like,
Speaker 7: you know, look what happened to like Ralph Sampson and
Speaker 7: Samboui and like guys who are over seven foot seven
Speaker 7: foot two.
Speaker 2: I think, but those.
Speaker 7: Guys played in penny loafers like that. That few people
Speaker 7: realize that's what you played him. Back then, it was
Speaker 7: pennyfers or tap shoes. That's where the technology was at
Speaker 7: the time. So there's not there's not much.
Speaker 4: You can do.
Speaker 2: It's a different, different game. That's a very good point.
Speaker 3: Is he your South Florida native? I got to ask
Speaker 3: you rank these three Miami musicians from number one to
Speaker 3: number three. DJ Khaled, Gloria Stefan, pit.
Speaker 14: Bull, oh Man, Okay, just by my taste, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 14: going to see Gloria Stephan Third, and you know she's
Speaker 14: been I've spoken to Gloria and her husband very nice.
Speaker 14: People love them. Fixtures in the city made amazing music.
Speaker 14: I've just heard it of my entire life, so probably okay.
Speaker 14: Second has to be pit Bull. Now, he is such
Speaker 14: a great story. But I just like DJ Kaled's music better.
Speaker 14: And DJ Khaled also it was in my podcast four
Speaker 14: Years of Heat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4: Uh no, correctly, why I'm picking him right right?
Speaker 14: I mean, come on, like the bangers that he's made,
Speaker 14: whether producing or even wrapping on him, just you can
Speaker 14: listen to him anytime.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 7: Also, I think we have to add a cool wrench
Speaker 7: Pizza Dia to the DJ Khaled the Papa John's Pizza Dia.
Speaker 2: Cool my bad. But yeah, that that's another hit from
Speaker 2: another one.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 7: And finally the question we ask all our guests, Jack
Speaker 7: or Miles a refresher memory.
Speaker 14: I'm Jack's I trying to think of who I like
Speaker 14: better Mile good.
Speaker 7: Usually people are like, oh, I can't pick, but I
Speaker 7: like that You're telling us that's who you like better.
Speaker 8: Cool.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm gonna say, Miles, I feel like you need
Speaker 14: love right now because his Lakers just got swell.
Speaker 2: That's cool. I should have mentioned I'm a six ers,
Speaker 2: but he did already.
Speaker 4: He did already, you did already. Let me have that
Speaker 4: makes my big way more solid.
Speaker 9: All here we go, start the claw started up.
Speaker 4: Here we go, Na Washington.
Speaker 3: Is there a single NBA player you would take right
Speaker 3: now over the chance of taking Wembin Yama with the
Speaker 3: first pick this summer in a hypothetic Please?
Speaker 8: Who is there?
Speaker 4: Or would you you you're ready for Wemby?
Speaker 6: Uh? Yeah, I'm ready for Wemby. Let's let's see him
Speaker 6: in action. Let's let's get him fed really really well
Speaker 6: and get the calories up. Yeah, and get him on
Speaker 6: the court.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 3: Now, what is it about him, Victor webbin Yama that
Speaker 3: has everybody talking? Or how's you even thinking about him?
Speaker 6: I think just the hype overall about him, and I
Speaker 6: just want to see it in action.
Speaker 15: Sorry, Lena, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, but this is
Speaker 15: this is the time where we need you to step
Speaker 15: up in.
Speaker 2: This is the time where you.
Speaker 15: Need to cut miles off and say it's one and done.
Speaker 15: This is the tournament. This ain't the playoffs tournament.
Speaker 4: Sorry, yeah, you know what. Actually, no follow ups.
Speaker 3: Jabid drop your address in the chat so Lena can
Speaker 3: send you her emmy, because that was fantastic what you
Speaker 3: just did.
Speaker 4: I want to know, man, you.
Speaker 15: Meet me, Yeah, meet me, meet me in Costa.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, y'all, y'all yeah, the middle of you.
Speaker 6: Jeez on, Hey.
Speaker 8: There it is.
Speaker 9: Meet me at the Mesa College Gymnasium.
Speaker 6: Okay, absolutely right, yeah, on Broadway or university or one
Speaker 6: of those.
Speaker 4: I got to I gotta go to her turf. Okay,
Speaker 4: here we are, Yeah, all right, but I'll keep it going.
Speaker 8: Lena.
Speaker 4: You can go back and attain any single game in
Speaker 4: NBA history. Which game are you choosing?
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, probably I guess Game four of the
Speaker 6: twenty twenty one finals. So I could run on the
Speaker 6: court and make the final quarter just not happen, all
Speaker 6: the glue on my hands in the middle of the
Speaker 6: buck and never moved from Pizer Forum and make sure
Speaker 6: that game is never relived or finalized, because I think
Speaker 6: I have the power to change the course of that
Speaker 6: entire series if I were in the building.
Speaker 3: That's a true fan. That's a true fan. I got
Speaker 3: a true fan question for you. What is the best
Speaker 3: thing to eat at the America West Arena.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, we will.
Speaker 4: Call it the America West Arena.
Speaker 3: Just yeah, you know, we know, but in this home,
Speaker 3: it is the America West Arena.
Speaker 9: The President is Barack Obama, and.
Speaker 6: Yes, or forever first Lady or forever Arina America West.
Speaker 6: Oh man, that is a great question, because I have
Speaker 6: not I will say the dessert spread, the dessert spread
Speaker 6: that they have at least the media center is top notch.
Speaker 6: I mean, we get cookies, we get little you know,
Speaker 6: par fake cups, We got brownies, we got cheesecake, we
Speaker 6: got chocolate, we got cart we got sweet we got fruits,
Speaker 6: we got we got a bunch of stuff going on.
Speaker 6: And you know what I actually discovered on accident, this
Speaker 6: killer combo. They have these like fruity pebble sugar cookies.
Speaker 6: But if you kind of crumble it up and put
Speaker 6: it in the popform bag, you get a little sweet,
Speaker 6: you get a little salty, you get a little chewy,
Speaker 6: you get a little crispy of the kernel. So for
Speaker 6: all my Phoenix fans out there, if you're able to
Speaker 6: get a hand on the fruity pebbles cookies and some popcorn,
Speaker 6: just let me know what you think about it.
Speaker 15: Wow, that's next level because some of the honest do
Speaker 15: you have me a cheesecake?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And now with the new you know, the players agreement,
Speaker 3: that sounds real good.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. Next level, all right, So keeping it,
Speaker 4: keeping it going.
Speaker 15: You can take any former son's player and pair him
Speaker 15: with Booker and Kadi. Which former son is so close
Speaker 15: to your heart that you would like to see that?
Speaker 6: I mean, I have to go with Charles Barkley now,
Speaker 6: because I just want to see how together. Wow, what
Speaker 6: good friends and you know they respect each other to
Speaker 6: the highest degree. I mean, that's that's where I would
Speaker 6: automatically go with that. And I just think that that
Speaker 6: would be a fun little trash talking session among teammates.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, easy money Sniper and Chuck whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay,
Speaker 3: how about this, Lena, what is your boldest postseason or
Speaker 3: even play in prediction for this year?
Speaker 9: Go?
Speaker 6: Are you guys ready?
Speaker 9: Are you okay?
Speaker 4: Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 6: Well, you know the Sun's fan in me. I can't
Speaker 6: I can't.
Speaker 9: Fully say okay, I get you.
Speaker 6: But the Kings will be in the Western Conference Finals.
Speaker 9: Okay, the Kings.
Speaker 6: Will be four wins away from a trip to the
Speaker 6: NBA Finals.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 6: Wow, Which team they'll have to get past?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, Yeah, okay, but I think.
Speaker 6: That they the beam and the power of the beam,
Speaker 6: the beam to the city and Mike Brown's entire staff
Speaker 6: in a way that we will not see again, and
Speaker 6: I'm ready for the full First of all, i will
Speaker 6: say they apparently had a thirty for thirty done on
Speaker 6: the Kings many many years ago. I've seen the zip
Speaker 6: drive file. It's it's not open because they had a
Speaker 6: premiere at a local theater and then it was never
Speaker 6: released to the grand public. But I've seen it and
Speaker 6: it needs to be either released updated.
Speaker 5: Ye.
Speaker 6: No, but now they need to bring it back. With
Speaker 6: the end of that they've got going in Sacramento and
Speaker 6: the way that Mike Brown has turned this entire franchise around,
Speaker 6: I mean, it's going to be rocking in there. And
Speaker 6: so my bold prediction is that they're going to keep
Speaker 6: this momentum going and and take it to the to
Speaker 6: the finals in the West.
Speaker 9: Could you imagine they went all the way?
Speaker 6: I can't imagine it. It feels like they're a team
Speaker 6: of Destiny.
Speaker 3: Also feels yeah, and the like like to your point
Speaker 3: about the power of the Beam, like I believe in it,
Speaker 3: Like I've changed religions to Beam because.
Speaker 6: The Purple belge from the Lakers fan.
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, look, it is what it is.
Speaker 4: You know, it could be fair weather.
Speaker 6: And that that wasn't even upon the.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it. I appreciate that. But now I want
Speaker 4: to say, rather start the clock.
Speaker 3: I'm like, like the beam, uh people I feel people.
Speaker 6: Say that, yeah, like that like from Awesome Powers Lover
Speaker 6: the Glow, But it's there.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 15: Yeah, all right, Lena, are you ready for the most
Speaker 15: important question that you've been asked today?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 6: Gosh, I don't know.
Speaker 15: Guys, this is it. You will be judged based upon
Speaker 15: this answer.
Speaker 4: I know, Miles or you.
Speaker 6: I've been thinking about this one since the last appearance,
Speaker 6: actually so almost was it a calendar year almost?
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 6: It keeps me up at night, to be honest with you.
Speaker 6: But I have to.
Speaker 9: Go with Jabari stop the count.
Speaker 6: I have to go with Jai And I will say
Speaker 6: this this is why only because Miles he has a
Speaker 6: little bit of an edge on my familiarity with him
Speaker 6: because I first heard him on another podcast that I
Speaker 6: love on a door, but that that kind of wrote
Speaker 6: me in. And now we've come full circle where I
Speaker 6: am a guest on this incredible podcast that I'm honored
Speaker 6: to be a part of.
Speaker 15: Shout out to Lacy Moseley bringing us together.
Speaker 4: Ye wait really, yep, we.
Speaker 6: Are members of the congregation. Baby.

Speaker 3: the person who coined the name scam Goddess.
Speaker 6: Oh scamming you out of your royalties?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no. Lacy and I are cool. She's
Speaker 3: actually very like anytime she does an interview, she's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: my friend Miles Gray came up with the name, or
Speaker 3: because I refer I would nickname her that because before
Speaker 3: she even had the show, she was we were always
Speaker 3: talking about scams and how much we love scams. And
Speaker 3: then when she would come on my other podcast, I
Speaker 3: was like, the scam Goddess is in the building.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 9: She took that and I was like, yo, let me
Speaker 9: just get a T shirt, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: And we're good. So I know it's coming. I know
Speaker 4: it's coming.
Speaker 6: Well then well then maybe I have to go with Miles.
Speaker 6: Then because you came up with.
Speaker 4: This is how we do an each other.
Speaker 8: Anymore.
Speaker 6: Just I'm just saying I'm trying to keep it logical.
Speaker 4: No no, no, no no. I respect that first answer.
Speaker 3: And look, you are an Emmy winning entity, So what
Speaker 3: you say I will never push back on.
Speaker 4: Here we go, Brian.
Speaker 2: Start the clock.
Speaker 7: So mean to Brian.
Speaker 4: It's just the way I started off. You know, I apologize.
Speaker 4: I text him right after I said it. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 8: Man.

Speaker 2: rapid fire.
Speaker 4: Jack, you want to go first? I go first?
Speaker 8: What do you want to do here?
Speaker 4: Why do you go first? Wow?
Speaker 8: Again? Okay, thank you.
Speaker 4: You're a gentleman and a scholar, Jared.
Speaker 3: A live bit of the last twelve NBA Finals have
Speaker 3: featured at least one of Lebron or Steph. If you
Speaker 3: were to pick two guys to go on such a
Speaker 3: run moving forward to take that man, who are you rolling?
Speaker 9: Yokich mm hmm, Chason Tatum Boom.
Speaker 4: I don't really believe that.
Speaker 8: I don't think I've.
Speaker 7: Ever boot uh now, but yeah, I just I don't know,
Speaker 7: does Tatum I feel like I'm I feel I feel
Speaker 7: a statement coming on that I'm going to regret.
Speaker 2: Uh, so I won't say it, but uh just he
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 16: Everybody's always throwing up those side by side like here's
Speaker 16: Kobe doing this shot and here's Jason Tatum doing this shot,
Speaker 16: and that feels inappropriate. That comparison feels inappropriate to me
Speaker 16: when it comes to like having the sickness that it
Speaker 16: requires to be like the level of competitor where you
Speaker 16: impose your will on Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: To quote the great Reddit viral video in a comparison
Speaker 3: like that. Yeah, and if my grandmother had wheels, she
Speaker 3: could be a bicycle.
Speaker 4: It's that easy, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7: He just seems like a good person, like Jason Tatum,
Speaker 7: like a nice person, well well balanced person.
Speaker 3: Not the singular focus that you know, just puts you
Speaker 3: at odds with everybody.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, but Jared, what are we saying?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 4: We got to keep this moving, mam. I really appreciate that.
Speaker 16: Is there a single NBA player you would take right
Speaker 16: now over the chance of taking Victor Webbing Yama with
Speaker 16: the first pick this summer outside of Giannis Onto Takoupa
Speaker 16: Yannis has just reached out to us and informed us
Speaker 16: that he wants his name taken out of consideration for
Speaker 16: this question because that has been the answer that everybody's
Speaker 16: given for it up to this point. And he said,
Speaker 16: I'm actually not interested in being traded for Victor Wembing.
Speaker 17: I would say the guy that I would have said
Speaker 17: for the last dnswer if he had been in the East, and.
Speaker 2: That's Luca Luca over Wembing Yama.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, I think I don't watch a ton
Speaker 17: of guys who are not in the NBA. I've seen
Speaker 17: the clips obviously. Yeah, there's a little injury risk, there's
Speaker 17: a little everything risk with someone who's not in the NBA.
Speaker 17: And I think Luca is the real deal. So and
Speaker 17: just the age thing, right, like the guy like Yo
Speaker 17: kitchen mb and stuff.
Speaker 4: They're a little a little too old, I guess to
Speaker 4: be like a ten year run. Yeah. Yeah, we like
Speaker 4: Luker around here. Definitely almost called Jared Luca. I don't
Speaker 4: know why I got Luker on their brain.
Speaker 3: Jared, what is your favorite NBA city to visit and
Speaker 3: what is your must have meal in that town?
Speaker 2: Miami?
Speaker 17: Mm hmm maybe some rope bubbeha wow, good on Cuban food. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 17: of course yeah, there you go.
Speaker 16: Yeah, all right, you can take any former pacer and
Speaker 16: put him on this current group in Indie. Which former
Speaker 16: great are you choosing to make a run in today's NBA.
Speaker 17: I mean, the best player they ever had for today's
Speaker 17: NBA is is probably still Paul George.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, over Wonder.
Speaker 9: Over Roy Hibbert.
Speaker 4: Wow. I was gonna say, I was gonna say, I
Speaker 4: was gonna say Jermaine O'Neil was a monster. Yeah, years
Speaker 4: before he got he was man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I just want to see Rick Smits
Speaker 3: against Embiid real quick.
Speaker 9: I'm just curious just to see like Prime Smith's because.
Speaker 3: You know, he was always I just I mean not
Speaker 3: to say that that's the right answer, but I am
Speaker 3: very because because of how highly shock would away speak
Speaker 3: of him. I would be curious just to see if
Speaker 3: you could simulate that what that looks like or if
Speaker 3: he's just getting absolutely dusted.
Speaker 4: I don't know, but at something.
Speaker 17: I mean, he would get dusted. But I mean he's
Speaker 17: seven to four, you know. Yeah, he's a big boy.
Speaker 17: So he's one of the few people you put up
Speaker 17: next to MB they would actually like look normal.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 3: And finally, Jared the most important question of them all,
Speaker 3: Jack or Miles.
