1
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: So losers, What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know

2
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: the most about sports, so I'll give you the sports

3
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: facts by sports opinions because I'm pretty much a sports genius.

4
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, I'm Eddie and I know the least

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: about sports. But I'm your average sports fan, your sports watcher.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: I just don't know the who's who's are, the what's

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: what what if? Y'all it siss and I'm from the North.

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: I love the shotgun white clause. If you do the

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: same hashtag, it's sore losers, shotgun basil. Oh many to

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: day yesterday, tough day yesterday, weird day today. Um, we

11
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: want to kind of sure respect to Kobe. A lot

12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: of people were doing second shot clock violations. They were

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: doing backcourt violations because that's an eight second count his

14
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: jersey number. And we thought, hey, we'll come on here,

15
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: we'll say hello, and then we're gonna shut up for

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: twenty four seconds, just because I don't really know how

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: to so we can respect the man. So we respect

18
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: the man, and we can kind of you know, that's

19
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: what we can do. And so hopefully you'll stick with

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: us and we're gonna be quiet for twenty four seconds back. Oh, okay,

21
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: I'll sell you one of the cool things I did yesterday. Okay,

22
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: one of the coolest things is being a dad, you know,

23
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: and here in this news. And and my my youngest son,

24
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: he's six, so he didn't really know who Kobe was. Um.

25
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: And then my foster son, he he's four, no idea

26
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: who Kobe was. My my twelve year old. He knew

27
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: who Kobe was, but didn't know anything about him really

28
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: because he just I guess Kobe was really in his

29
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: prime when we were I guess in college, high school. No,

30
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: because he well college in a little bit after college,

31
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: because he went to the n b A, I believe,

32
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: because he's the same age as you. He's a year

33
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: older than me. So the way I look at is

34
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: he was I mean playing that. That's the weird that.

35
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: The weird thing about Kobe, like I want you to

36
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: get your story, is we saw his entire career. Most

37
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: of these players, like Jordan's, we didn't really watch basketball

38
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: when we were six seven until we're like ten eleven.

39
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Then when you start following it, he's already into his career.

40
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: We saw Kobe from the start to the finish, and

41
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: so that's why. I don't know if that's why it

42
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: made it a little more hit home for me yesterday

43
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: because you saw him from a seventeen year old coming

44
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: out of high school to playing his entire career with

45
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: the Lakers. I don't know, but so, yeah, your son

46
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: didn't see him in his prime. But I just got

47
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: I got to describe Kobe to my kids, and that

48
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: was a cool moment because I didn't really think too

49
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: much about Kobe other than he was one of the best.

50
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: He was after Jordan's was the best basketball player on

51
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: the court. Um. And so explaining to my kids who

52
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: he was and and describing his his grind and because

53
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: I mean, every time they didn't interview Kobe, they he'd

54
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: always talked about how much he practiced and how much

55
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: he's spent off the court just kind of just just

56
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: working on things constantly. And that's what was stood out

57
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: to me about him. And it was cool just showing

58
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: to explain to my kids who he was. That's and

59
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I hated Kobe the basketball player because

60
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: you're we're Spurs fans exactly. As a Spurs fan, he

61
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: was public enemy number one because because no, because you

62
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: did not want to face him in a series because

63
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: he could just take over everything and dominate. And as

64
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: him playing for the Lakers, I hated him, But at

65
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: the same time, I respected how hard Kobe Bryant played.

66
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: Every single night. He was out there to slit your throat.

67
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: He wasn't out there to make friends like they chumming

68
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: up and you know he would say hi or whatever

69
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: you see him talking about. But he had that killer mentality.

70
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,119
Speaker 1: He wanted to be the best and he was gonna

71
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: stop at nothing to be the best. And that is

72
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: what I loved about Kobe Bryant. You always heard that

73
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: he never rested on his laurels. He was always in

74
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: the gym, working harder to get better. Because as a kid,

75
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Jordan's was the be all, see all, the most amazing

76
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: human to walk the planet because he was Michael Jordan's.

77
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: Then you have Kobe come in and he was not

78
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: shy about he wanted to be known as the best

79
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: of all time, and he worked so hard to be

80
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: one of the best of all time. And so I

81
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: had so much respect for Kobe the basketball player, but

82
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: I hated him because he was so freaking good. You

83
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: know what, he did so well was he as much

84
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: as people hated him as a basketball player because they

85
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: were fans of other teams and they never wanted to

86
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: face him because I did, I did. I'd always be

87
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: like my mom. She in Spanish, you say pincha lunch

88
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: box and it's like another word for saying like f

89
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: and lunch box like he got us again. And my

90
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: mom would always say chick Kobe man like. That was her.

91
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: She would text me chick Kobe like and it's it's

92
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: a short way of saying Kobe like got us again.

93
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: And she would always say that. And as much as

94
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: people disliked him on the court, there was nothing about

95
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: him that was unlikable as a person, Like, he was

96
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: never a person where you'd be like, I can't stand

97
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: Kobe Like as a person, right, he never rubbed you

98
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: the wrong way, And it just rubbed me the wrong

99
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: way because he was still because he was so good.

100
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: But as a superstar, that's that's hard. Either you're that

101
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: real likable star or that person that everyone hates so

102
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: much that you're famous, you know, And that's something I

103
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: think he did so well. Became such a hated person

104
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: on the basketball court, but yet a likable person to

105
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: everyone in general. And it's pretty amazing how the you

106
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: hear all these stories about younger players coming out, and

107
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: that's that they were talking about. Should they have canceled games?

108
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: Just absolutely? You thought so, right, Oh for sure, dude.

109
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: Those announcers that said it feels a little weird playing

110
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: these games, I'll be real with you. Here's my thing.

111
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: You can't cancel the games because a former player died.

112
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: In my opinion, Kobe Bryant, the competitor, would want basketball

113
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: to go on. The ultimate competitor in him would want

114
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: to see the game played. If we stopped basketball for

115
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: every time a great died, we would have a lot

116
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: of canceled games throughout the season. I understand this was

117
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: a tragic, tragic occasion, and he has recently retired. So

118
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: as I watched the games, I started to realize how

119
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: hard it is on these players because a lot of

120
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: these players, Kobe was what they saw as a kid

121
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: and made them want to make it to the NBA.

122
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: Correct Like Joel Embi tweeted out that he watched the

123
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: NBA Finals in two thousand and ten, I believe it

124
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: was and that's the first time he picked up a

125
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: basketball after watching Kobe. He said, Kobe made me want

126
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: to play basketball after watching him in the finals. That's

127
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: when I went out and started shooting hoops. Yeah, the

128
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: majority of players playing today grew up watching Kobe. He

129
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: was because these kids, the younger people, they didn't see

130
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: Jordan's they didn't know Jordan's they see highlights on YouTube,

131
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: but they watched Kobe in their living rooms when they

132
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: were kids. They had posters of Kobe on their wall.

133
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: So it was tough. But I don't think canceling the

134
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: games would have been right. I think that the same

135
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: way I didn't think that they should have been canceled.

136
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: I mean, things just really shouldn't stop because someone leaves

137
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: the world, you know, Like I think, like Lunch said,

138
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these people would want the

139
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: game to keep going. Don't stop the world for me

140
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: kind of thing, you know, like I love the scd

141
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: um you know, run out of the shot clock or what.

142
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: I love those respect things for him, because you do

143
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: take the time to remember the great Kobe Bryant. Awesome,

144
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: But the games, I guess it did. It could feel weird, right,

145
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: It could feel weird for some of these announcers and

146
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: a time wasn't in the building, but the guy said,

147
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: he goes it honestly, doesn't feel like we should be

148
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: playing today. I feel they were fifty fifty they I

149
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: think they were strongly considering canceling the games. Whatever they did,

150
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: they did awesome respect things that were good. They didn't

151
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: cancel the games. Fine second the eight second that was

152
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: a awesome That was good stuff. Now when did Kobe

153
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: were eight early in his career? That you'll have to

154
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: look up. I don't know. I don't know why he switched.

155
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't remember exactly why, but because thinking

156
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: about it, yeah, I do remember him wearing eight sometimes

157
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: and we sometimes, but I don't remember when that shift happened.

158
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: And man, it was just like one memory like Kobe, Like,

159
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: this is what to me sums up Kobe, how tough

160
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: he was, how good he was, and how much of

161
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: a competitor he was. He blows his achilles on the

162
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: court when he gets fouled. He's he he knows he's out,

163
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: Like he's done. He gets up, is free throws, he

164
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: drains both free throws and then goes to the the locker room.

165
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: Remember that, like you have a blown achilles. Dude, like

166
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: just go to the locker room. But he's like, no,

167
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: I got fouled. I'll take my free throws. Then you

168
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: subbed me out because he knows he's gonna be out

169
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: for the next year. He and he stands up there

170
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: and drains them. Unreal. Yeah, I thought no, I was

171
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: just gonna say, we play this clip, this clip, and

172
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: then had me loadus pretty legit. And this is an

173
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: interview I don't know. I just saw it on Twitter.

174
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: I wish I could give credit to where it came from,

175
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: but someone recorded on TikTok and this is Kobe Bryant

176
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: talking about why he takes a helicopter to places in

177
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: l A, you know, after school activities, all that fun stuff,

178
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: even on weekends. But then traffic started getting really really bad,

179
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: right and I was sitting in traffic. I wanted up

180
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: missing like a school play because I was sitting in traffic,

181
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: and these things just kept out and I had to

182
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: figure out a way where I could still train and

183
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: focus on the craft but still not compromised family time.

184
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: And so that's when I looked into helicopters and be

185
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: able to get down and back in fifteen minutes. And

186
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: that's when it started. It's of My routine was always

187
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: the same. Waits early in the morning, kids to school,

188
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: fly down practice like crazy, do my extra work, media,

189
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: everything I needed to do, fly back, get back in

190
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: carpool line, pick the kids up. And my wife was like, listen,

191
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: I can pick him up. I'm like, no, no, no,

192
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: I want to do that because, like you know, you

193
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: have road trips and times are you not you don't

194
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: see your kids, but you know, so like every chance

195
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: I get to see him, to spend time with them,

196
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: even if it's twenty minutes in your car, like I

197
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: won Dad. Damn, dude, that's a good club serie. It's serie.

198
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: Having him talk about did you know about his helicopter

199
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: before this? No, you didn't see I always knew that.

200
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: They said he wrote a helicopter to the games, and

201
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: would he landed on the Staples Center. I don't know

202
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: where it lands. I didn't know. I have no idea, Like,

203
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works. If there's a certain

204
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: section you can land it in, or you can land

205
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: on any building the practice facility, because it sounds like

206
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: he took it to practice every day. Dude, he was

207
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: taking it to his daughter's I think I get to

208
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: have a helipad to like land it. Right, there's helipads

209
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: and a lot of those skyscrapers, so something next to

210
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: or Staples Center. He just dropped it on top and

211
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: got out. But you think about it, he must have

212
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: taken thousands of thousands of pound thousands. And then you

213
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: get into the reports that all the other helicopter, like

214
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: the L A p D, their helicopter crew like there

215
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: was grounded because of fog exactly, it was unsafe to fly.

216
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: So then party you think, I hope that I hope

217
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: they're going to find that there was something wrong with

218
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: the helicopter. Well they did. They said it descended very

219
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: very quickly. But I don't know if that's because they

220
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: couldn't see and they were trying to get below the fog.

221
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I don't want to speculate, but

222
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: I in my deep down heart, I hope that it

223
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: was something wrong with the helicopter and not pushing to

224
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: get through the fog. I mean, they're all trying to

225
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: make it to practice, like I, come on, just go

226
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: through the fog, coach. I don't I don't know if

227
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna find something wrong with that helicopter. I don't either,

228
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: because I hope they showed the route. It was the

229
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: weirdest route I've ever seen. It's almost like they circled

230
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: l A. They were just trying to get around this.

231
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: They were waiting it out. That's what I read. At

232
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: one point they just circled for fifteen minutes. What I

233
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: read is they were waiting out the fog. And they

234
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: said you should probably land because I heard audio from

235
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: the tower from the air control or whatever, and they

236
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: were saying you should probably land. I think Van Nice

237
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: was the nearest airport Van Nice. I think, uh, where

238
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: they can land. It said, it said, just hang out

239
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: for a little bit and then we'll get you whenever

240
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: there's clearance to Van Nice. And then I think that

241
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: was the end of the transmission that I heard. But gosh,

242
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: she and that's what it's just and and and it's

243
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: sad that, you know, Kobe and eight other people died

244
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: on this plane or this helicopter crash. And it's sad

245
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: because they're adults, but it really the kids. Yeah, I

246
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: was talking to my wife about this too. Like you know,

247
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: with Kobe, he lived his life. He lived half of

248
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: his life, you know, for forty one years old. You

249
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: live half of your life. He he succeeded at what

250
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: he had tried his hardest to ever do. He played basketball.

251
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: He was an amazing basketball player. He showed his daughters,

252
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: except I guess his newborn daughter. What you know what

253
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: a man is like? I mean he was. He was

254
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: there for his daughters as much as he could. So

255
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: he lived his life. His wife's gonna miss him, his

256
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: daughters are gonna miss him. But he lived his life.

257
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: Where it hurts is the kids that die where you're

258
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: just like man, we have no idea what they could

259
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: have done in life. I can't imagine his daughter like

260
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: pretty damn good at basketball too. I was watching some

261
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: clips of her. I mean, I don't know what a

262
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: w NBA player looks like. At she was probably gonna

263
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: be a w NBA player. She could have been the

264
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: greatest girls basketball player ever. Some of the stuff I

265
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: was seeing. She had a sick little spin move. Her

266
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: goal was to go to Ukon play in the b

267
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: n B A. And I think he was on Jimmy

268
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: Kimmel recently maybe, and he was talking about, Hey, you know,

269
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: you guys gonna keep trying for a boy you gotta

270
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: have a boy to carry on your legacy. And he said,

271
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: you know that's funny. People come to me all the

272
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: time and they say, you gotta have a boy to

273
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: carry on the legacy, and he goes, my thirteen year old.

274
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: She's always like he yo, yo, don't worry. I'll take

275
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: care of the legacy. I got that. And so it's

276
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: the kids is what breaks me up because now a dad,

277
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: you see things totally different. Like Kobe lived his life,

278
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: he got to experience so much and he had so

279
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: much more to do At forty one years old, he was,

280
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he just won an Oscar last year. Like

281
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: his transition out of basketball, he wanted to do so much.

282
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: And he said, in twenty years, do you want to

283
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: know be known for basketball or investing? And he said,

284
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: I hope investing. That means I was successful outside of

285
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: the arena. And he had just he's just released. There

286
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: was some stuff in the media where they're saying where

287
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: he scored that seventy game or whatever, Oh the dude

288
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: he scored it on? Who was the guy that he scored?

289
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: One of them? It was so in anyways, he got

290
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: put up seventy three one game and they go, hey,

291
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: how many olives do you want your drink? And he's

292
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: like seventy three. Did you see that clip? They just

293
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: recently released that because it was I guess the anniversary

294
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: of when he put up seven four points, and so

295
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: it was I don't even know who was Garden him?

296
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: Was it? Uh? You guys didn't see the I know

297
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: who you're talking about, but he didn't get all the points.

298
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: It may have been Jaln Rose. It was Jalen Rose

299
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: Rose And there was recently that and then Lebron passed

300
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: him on Saturday? Crazy? Is that the night before Lebron

301
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: passes Kobe for third all time on the scoring list,

302
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: and he's thereby? Was there? Right? I believe? So? Yeah?

303
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: And so that's what I mean, Like, it's just he

304
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: was there. It was in away game. I don't know

305
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: if he flew to Philly or I read something. No,

306
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: he wasn't there because he tweeted, he goes, I don't know,

307
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's just so weird. And in that

308
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: clip that we played a few minutes back, just to

309
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: hear him talk about listen, I had to figure out

310
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: how to still be good at my craft. But it

311
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: sounds like how important it was to be a father,

312
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: to be there in the carpool pickup line, to keep

313
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: it regular, to see his kids because he knew that

314
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: he traveled a lot because of work, that those days

315
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: that he was there, he wanted to be there. And

316
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: people always say to like, oh, that I was watching

317
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: interviews and they're like, oh, Kobe was the happiest I've

318
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: ever seen him. Yeah, you know, and it's like, yeah,

319
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: usually when when people get to spend time with the

320
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 1: people that they love, their families, their their their kids,

321
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: like that is the happiest time you'll ever be, not

322
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: the dream that we're chasing, you know, because we get

323
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: caught in this whole thing of chasing your dream whatever.

324
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: But really the ones that really need you are at home.

325
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: So that's that's where it hits hard. Yeah, And then

326
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: I wanted to say f you to TMZ, like I

327
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: don't know how we can regulate this whole media circus,

328
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: but man, TMZ, you should feel terrible about yourself today,

329
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: Like you should look in the mirror and be like,

330
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: is this really how we want to do things? Because

331
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant's wife had to find out from Twitter that

332
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: Kobe and her daughter were dead. The police hadn't even

333
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: notified them, and TMZ is tweeting it out like that

334
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: just to be the first news outlet. Yeah, it's always

335
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: a race. It's always a race to be the first

336
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: one to to have the news. You were in news.

337
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: How does TMZ get that before? Police have no idea

338
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: to the police may know, but they have to go

339
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: and confer. They probably know who's on board because there's

340
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: flight records. Things like TMZ doesn't confirm anything. They just

341
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: roll with it, or they have an inside sources and

342
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: the police will not confirm until they notified next to kid,

343
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: So they have processes they have to go through. TMZ

344
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: doesn't care about notifying next to kid. They just get

345
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: a report and they put it out and they say,

346
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: here you go. You can find out via Twitter. Well,

347
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 1: they were definitely incorrect reports. Some were saying all of

348
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: his daughters were on the planet. They were saying none

349
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: of them saying the problem they were saying Rick Fox

350
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: was on board, Oh I never heard that. Then they

351
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: were saying there was five, and then all of a

352
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: sudden it was nine and you were like, what there

353
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: was nine people on that small Hello. The problem with

354
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: the whole race to be first. You start getting your

355
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: facts wrong, You start, oh I heard this reported, Well

356
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: that's wrong. What a different kind of life though. They

357
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: just hop on a helicopter and boom, go to practice.

358
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean, so he took that thing all the time,

359
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: all the time. But it's a it's a very dangerous

360
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: mode of transportation, very dangerous, and I mean it sounds

361
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: like to do he saw a guy in the news

362
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: saying that it was the safest, the safest aircraft out there. Well,

363
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: that one is, but uh, in our other show, Amy's

364
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: husband and then also my fiancee's brother is a pilot.

365
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: Helicopters is the most dangerous one. One wing goes out,

366
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: you can they go down? Yeah, there's not multiple inste Yeah,

367
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: it's not like an actual plane. I mean, wing isn't

368
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna fall off of a plane, but one of those

369
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: spinny things does off of the hell I've ever been

370
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: on a helicopter. I've been on it. One time we

371
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: were in Alaska, my wife and I we took an

372
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: Alaskan cruise and you could helicopter up to the top

373
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: of this mountain and go do the dogs the mush

374
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: you know where they do like that I did a rod. Yes,

375
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: and we got in that helicopter. We went up and

376
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: we were thirty seconds to our rod. My wife listen

377
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: to me, goes, this doesn't feel very safe. And we

378
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: said after that day we would never get another helicopter. Yeah.

379
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever been in one. That's why

380
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: my parents put me one when I was really young. Really,

381
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Yeah, I don't remember getting in one

382
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: of those things. I always have him in Gatlinburg. When

383
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: you're riding in helicopter Vegas helicopter, the hoover. Do you

384
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: they have in Hawaii? They're They're popular in Hawaii. I

385
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: had those in Hawaii, but my chick said no, she

386
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't do one while we were in Hawaii. And I'm

387
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: sure he probably had the safest. He probably had one

388
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: of the best pilots. We We don't know what happened,

389
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 1: but it was. It was just a weird day. Like

390
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: I I, it hits you weird man, it does, because

391
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: i'd see in our lifetime. Was he the biggest sports

392
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: star to just abruptly dine? Yeah, yes, you had the news.

393
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's like shock, complete shock and awe was

394
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: for me. Anyways, top of mind is when the stuff

395
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: came out about Tiger that was like, oh my god,

396
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: oh my god, he get hit with a golf club.

397
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Tiger. And then I mean this yesterday

398
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: was like what yeah? And then I thought Tiger got

399
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: kind of screwed yesterday. He's walking off the course and

400
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: he said he could hear people on the back nine,

401
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, do it for Bomba. And he was like,

402
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: I mean people yell stuff all the time. So I'm

403
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: just thinking, okay, and he said he comes he's walking

404
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: off the eighteenth green when someone told him, and then

405
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: the reporter asked him, hey, so you know, what's your

406
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: reaction to Kobe's death? Right, Like, I mean, he pros right.

407
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: I don't remember what he said, but I'm just like

408
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: reported as a terrible ask. Did he know that he

409
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: found out maybe ten seconds fifteen seconds before, that's what

410
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: he says. I don't know. Maybe he knew earlier in

411
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: the round. And he's just saying that if there was rumor,

412
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, people yelling at at the course, but they

413
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: like he said, people were yelling in the back nine

414
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: do it for mom? But because they were on the course, yes,

415
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: But he said, but to me the reporter, like, come on, Like,

416
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: do you really need to ask him that? Like, like

417
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: ed he said, it's the race to be first. It's

418
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: like the race to get Tiger's reactions. Let him have

419
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: a minute to process it and understand what's going on

420
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: and talk to people and maybe decompress from the round

421
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: and sit in the locker room for a minute and

422
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: read about it or reach out to people. But to

423
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: ask him, right, I don't know. It just it felt

424
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: weird to me when he found out ten seconds before.

425
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: I'd say, it's difficult for most people to deal with death.

426
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: Reporters people I was watching anchors on TV. They were

427
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: just over the place. It's fine if they're crying, but

428
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: there were some almost they were a rough. It was

429
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: tough for because it doesn't happen that often. Where do

430
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: you have to deal with the crazy death that's not

431
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: everyday news. You know, somebody you're close to, everybody's affected

432
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: by It's weird to handle death. Honestly, it is. It is,

433
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's amazing to see how universal Kobe

434
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: was as an athlete. How many people outside of basketball

435
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: scores a goal, holds up the two and four, you know,

436
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying he was a transcendent athlete that people all

437
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: around the world love to watch play basketball. It's just well,

438
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: the thing too, you know, It's like I saw a

439
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: lot of tweets come down and just like, you know,

440
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: let's not forget the other people on board, you know,

441
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: and all that, and and I'm not We're not forgetting

442
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: those people. The thing. The difference is we didn't know

443
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: those people, and we didn't know Kobe personally, but we

444
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: grew we grew up with Kobe. And here's the thing.

445
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: And I heard somebody say this a long time ago,

446
00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: UM about about music, UM talking about UM music, And

447
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: they were talking about letting music and entertainment and television

448
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: and people into your home. Like who do you let

449
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: into your home? People that you listen on the radio, Um,

450
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: people that you watch on TV. That's who your home

451
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: is exposed to. They become part of your family because

452
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: you watched them every night. We we grew up watching Kobe.

453
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: Everyone as kids. We grew up watching Kobe play basketball.

454
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: So even though we didn't know him, we felt like

455
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: we knew him. He grew up with us. Kind of

456
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: like what you were saying, we saw him from the

457
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: very beginning. We let these athletes into our hearts because

458
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: you believe in it gives it's it's an escape from life,

459
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: like it's your like, oh my gosh, you you attached

460
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: these people. And we got an email from this guy, Kinny.

461
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: He said, with the passing of Kobe, it makes me wonder,

462
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: who did you guys grow up idolizing as athletes? He said,

463
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm twenty years old, So Kobe was the dude for

464
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: us growing up playing bass ball, he goes playing basketball,

465
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: we would imitate Kobe. We we Kobe was everything to us,

466
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: and then playing baseball, they would imitate Albert pool Hols's swing.

467
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: Playing backyard football, we thought we were Randy Moss or

468
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. And he said, it's amazing how much these guys,

469
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: these athletes impact us and kids and how we feel

470
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: it when they pass away. And he just thought he

471
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: wanted to know if there was any other guys that

472
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: we idolized growing like who we looked up to as athletes?

473
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: Like who are those guys? For me? The first one

474
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: was Bo Jackson because he played football and baseball. I

475
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: was like, this dude is amazing. Now I didn't necessarily

476
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: imitate him because I was nowhere, but he didn't have

477
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: like a different A little different, yes, but he was

478
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: the first athlete I remember going, that's unbelievable. I want

479
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: to do that. Then the swing was Ken Griffey Jr.

480
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm mean that is what we would sit in the sideyard,

481
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: even though I was right handed. We would all imitate

482
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: Griffy Jr. The smoothest wing. Everybody want to be Griffy

483
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: playing center field, make an unbelievable catches running up the wall.

484
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: And another one was Dion Sanders football baseball. Loved the

485
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: double athlete, thought, oh my gosh, if I could do that.

486
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: And of course basketball for me was Michael Jordan's. I

487
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: had a Michael Jordan's tearaway basketball rim in my house.

488
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: We'd play two on two nerf basketball. Amazing. Yeah, Mine,

489
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: for sure, it was Joe Montana football. I want it

490
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: was Joe like I think they called him Joe Cool

491
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: or whatever because he always kept as cool. I love

492
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: that about him. He wasn't cocky. He just won. He won,

493
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: and then then he gets older, you know, he just

494
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: became a good father figure and all that. Joe Montana

495
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: to me growing up was who I wanted to be like,

496
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: that's a perfect example of awesome athlete and a great person.

497
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: Um MJ for sure for basketball. I mean, come on,

498
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: growing up dude that he was, he was, he was

499
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: in he was it, you know. Um, I didn't really

500
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: have a baseball player one though. Maybe Ricky Henderson just

501
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: because he hauled asked he's just fast man. He referred

502
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: himself in the third person. Ricky Henderson refers to Ricky

503
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: Henderson as Ricky Henderson. That's funny. I didn't even didn't

504
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: know anything about it. I didn't A buddy of mine

505
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: who was a big fan of Nolan Ryan huge growing up,

506
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: like as kids, Nolan Ryan was his favorite, and he

507
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: wrote to his fan club and Nolan Ryan sent back

508
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: an autograph picture. I was like, dude, that is legit.

509
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: You know what. I love Ricky Henderson. I'm gonna write

510
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: his fan club. So I wrote his fan club and like, hey,

511
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: will you send me back an autograph picture? Nothing? I

512
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: read something of a famous athlete or maybe it was

513
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: a reporter. Uh. They said that they wrote to uh

514
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: Kobe when they were eight years old, and they got

515
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: a card signed by Kobe back in the mail three

516
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: weeks later, and it was like his thing to us

517
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: to give shoes to people enough to like go to

518
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: high schools or whatever, see young kids playing basketball and

519
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: give him shoes. I think I heard Lebron say that

520
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: he got shoes from Kobe. They were his shoes and

521

Speaker 1: gave Lebron pair of shoes. There are one size too small.

523
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,520

524
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: shoes anyway and play a game with him. So he did.

525
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: He played the next game with him. What about you, Ray,

00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: a weird It's one of those guys that I looked

546
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: forward to their Hall of Fame speech because some of

547
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time I look for, Like I

548
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: thought that would be a great speech, and I mean,

549
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: now we'll never hear it, and in all the athletes

550
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: praying tribute, and I thought it was kind of cool.

551
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: Kendrick Perkins has been kind of going back and forth

552
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: with Kevin Durant on Twitter. They've been kind of beefing,

553
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: and yesterday he Kendrick Parkins got on Twitter is like,

554
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: you know what, kay D, I want to apologize, Like

555
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: whatever I did to hurt you is wrong, and I

556
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: apologize and I hope we can still be boys and

557
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: bury this like it opened your eyes. And this is Eddie,

558
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you this because you have older kids.

559
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: What I don't know what you do as you're going down,

560
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: Like I just that, like going down the helicopter, you

561
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: gotta think the speed that it was going. It was

562
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 1: going down two hundred miles an hour, right, I mean

563
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: it's a role. Imagine yourself in a roller coaster ride

564
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: and coach. I mean you got to think that people

565
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: were shifted. It's not like it was like perfectly upright

566
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: it was. I mean, you don't really have chances to

567
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: grab on anything. They were on a damn roller coaster

568
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: two d miles an hour towards the ground. I don't know, guys,

569
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: Like I said, it dropped four thousand feet like that,

570
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: So I get on. I mean, we we fly a

571
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: lot for work, like a lot, and every time I

572
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: get on a plane, I don't I don't worry about

573
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: it because I do try to live my life every

574
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: day thinking that is it is my last day, you know,

575
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 1: and especially when you fly. I mean I've had thoughts

576
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: in the air too, like wow, what if what if

577
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: this plane goes down? I want to make sure that

578
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: my kids will always remember me in the best way.

579
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: My friends, you guys will always remember me in the

580
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: best way. But you got the they'll come out with

581
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: us as well too. You know, he was sitting next

582
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: to his daughter. The people it seems that were in

583
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: the all everybody had somebody they're sitting with. It seems

584
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: like the one guy had his daughter, Kobe had his

585
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: daughter and dad and a daughter. The one lady was

586
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: a coach, yeah, and then there was an assistant, a

587
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: female coach, and then Kobe and his daughter. I feel

588
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: like Kobe and his daughter were sitting right next to

589
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: each other, and I mean they went down together honestly.

590
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: You know, they were grabbing each other, so that's that's perfect.

591
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: They ended, you know, in each other's arms. Yeah. I mean,

592
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: I guess my in is is I just don't let

593
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: death scare me, because it's it's the people you leave

594
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: behind that are gonna deal with it. You know, when

595
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: you die, what do you You don't You don't deal

596
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: with anything. You're you're done, You're gone. So you want

597
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: to have give them peace. You want them two remember you,

598
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: and you want your death to be meaningful. You know,

599
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go, you want like like like you

600
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: just said, KD, like you want stuff like that to

601
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: happen because that that way, your death isn't just in vain,

602
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: You're just not. Your life was wasted like he did

603
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: good things. He made people push harder. I don't know

604
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: his family, but I'm sure he did stuff for his

605
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: daughters and his wife that he's gonna leave behind. That's

606
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: how you live your life. It's not about the crasher

607
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: or just dying instantly because you just always have to

608
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: be ready. You always have to be ready for that

609
