Speaker 1: Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 2: Love the media day, Jimmy Butler has returned, and Dame
Speaker 2: has finally moved, and we've got a bunch of new
Speaker 2: faces in new places as we head into preseason basketball.
Speaker 3: I wonder Jimmy's look was something that he improvised on
Speaker 3: the move because he was feeling and chemo like. What
Speaker 3: you get with that look if Dame had gone to Miami,
Speaker 3: thinks good point.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll be able to discuss that and plenty more
Speaker 2: with super producer and local san Fernando Valley legend Jabbari
Speaker 2: Davis on today's episode. I'm Miles Gray and I'm Jack
Speaker 2: O'Brien and this Skeys Jack bat Man speak, Steve Damby driving,
Speaker 2: Spinny Curry, stop Murry from downtown again.
Speaker 1: Be honest, look, show time.
Speaker 2: What you got, Jabbari?
Speaker 1: It happened well, well, well.
Speaker 2: Just as we ended last week's episode. Okay, Dame traded,
Speaker 2: Oh there is It wasn't the Celtics. Wasn't the Celtics,
Speaker 2: although they made out okay and that whole thing. But anyway,
Speaker 2: should we where where do we even start? Jabari?
Speaker 4: You're here, I mean we're here.
Speaker 5: We can start right there and you know, shout out
Speaker 5: to all other you know, San Fernando Valley legends. I'm
Speaker 5: just gonna call both of you guys the same into
Speaker 5: the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 1: You've been there a couple of times.
Speaker 2: Jack, we got to take you to Daglas and give
Speaker 2: you a baptism by fire at one of the greasiest
Speaker 2: Hamburger stands in the valley.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a five pound bag of potatoes in the form
Speaker 5: of French fries with everyone.
Speaker 2: For like two bucks and the and the tatiki saw. Anyway,
Speaker 2: Doglas hung right now, so that sounds good to me.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Dame and how I'm about to buy
Speaker 2: a Cream City Dame Lillard jersey, even though they I
Speaker 2: think didn't the league ban those jerseys or they said
Speaker 2: they couldn't wear him anymore.
Speaker 3: Anyway, my initial thoughts on this trade was very happy.
Speaker 3: So such a fun place for him to end up.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Not, you know, it's not a like imbalance of power
Speaker 3: in the East because there's still like other good teams,
Speaker 3: but they are and and you know defensively that hurts
Speaker 3: them to lose Drew and get Dame like Dame is,
Speaker 3: you know, not not the best defensive player. Drew is
Speaker 3: one of the best perimeter defenders. So like there there's
Speaker 3: a they take a couple of steps back on d
Speaker 3: while taking like five leaps forward on offense. And it's
Speaker 3: just fun. Like it's a more fun league when Giannis
Speaker 3: is free to dominate. It's a more fun league to
Speaker 3: have someone like Dame finally in a position where he
Speaker 3: might win some titles. Yeah, and Milwaukee is a fun team,
Speaker 3: Like I'm here for it, very excited, and I was
Speaker 3: just relieved he didn't go to the Celtics. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: they happier if they hadn't made another.
Speaker 5: Move well quickly before we switch, you know, before we
Speaker 5: transition to the Celtics. You know, just piggybacking what you said.
Speaker 5: It's not only a lot of fun, it's a situation
Speaker 5: where you like, you know, exactly as you put it,
Speaker 5: it doesn't really throw off the balance. You know, Milwaukee
Speaker 5: was going to be competitive regardless. One thing that I
Speaker 5: hope it did is I hope it eliminates the question
Speaker 5: that was already circulating about, you know, about Giannis and
Speaker 5: where he might go. It's like, first of all, the
Speaker 5: guy's under contract for at least another couple of seasons.
Speaker 5: But secondly, you know, as basketball fans. While yes, the
Speaker 5: trade talk is fun or you know, free agency talk
Speaker 5: is fun, but I'm actually, you know, I'm reaching a
Speaker 5: stage where I'm like, no, I'd rather them stay. You know,
Speaker 5: if they go, you know, that's great, but I'd rather
Speaker 5: see like a story like Gianni's continue. I'd like I
Speaker 5: would if ultimately it winds up, you know, being that
Speaker 5: you know, he retires there or wins another ring there
Speaker 5: or whatever the case may be, that's great, but I
Speaker 5: just hope it extended that and we don't have to
Speaker 5: have that conversation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I love that. It's like all around,
Speaker 2: it's like good feelings. Like Blazers fans are like, man,
Speaker 2: it hurts, it hurts, but also would love to want
Speaker 2: to see him on a team like that want it,
Speaker 2: like we want that for Dame.
Speaker 3: I'm glad it wasn't the Heat. You know, they had
Speaker 3: to just they like they they were not happy with
Speaker 3: the idea of the Heat just getting to like force
Speaker 3: their hand in this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, And then I think, but then on
Speaker 2: the other side, you I can also see the like
Speaker 2: the pain from the Bucks fans of seeing Drew Holliday go.
Speaker 4: I also I feel that because I wasn't like.
Speaker 2: Drew saying like he wanted to retire and like like
Speaker 2: he was like, I'm here the day.
Speaker 5: Before the digital was the day the day the deal
Speaker 5: was made. He you know, he was saying, you know,
Speaker 5: this is the only place I want to play. I
Speaker 5: want basically essentially, I want to retire here, and you know,
Speaker 5: it's a business and I get it, but yeah, that
Speaker 5: does kind of suck for him in particular.
Speaker 2: Right, Like, is it am I like putting my old
Speaker 2: head hat on real quick? Does it feel a little
Speaker 2: bit like how like when KG left Minnesota to go
Speaker 2: to the Celtics, where people so like, you know what,
Speaker 2: we're not we we wanted to see you do well,
Speaker 2: but we're not totally mad about that. Like it kind
Speaker 2: of has that sort of energy behind it, unless I
Speaker 2: completely misread that trade at the time.
Speaker 5: Oh you mean the Dame situation Like yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Like day like where it's like people just being like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of kind of what needed to
Speaker 2: happen for him, Jack.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you've heard anything different, but that's
Speaker 5: pretty much the reaction that I saw on the timeline.
Speaker 5: That's the reaction you know, of the folks that I've discussed,
Speaker 5: you know, discussed it with, you know, offline. You know,
Speaker 5: nobody's mad about it. It isn't you know, and I
Speaker 5: won't even point to anybody else. It is in a
Speaker 5: situation where you know, it's him latching on or you
Speaker 5: know whatever. Look, he ended up getting traded there. You know,
Speaker 5: he's a great he's an all timer. He's joining in
Speaker 5: all timer. Let's you know, let's see, let's see what
Speaker 5: they can do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think I think it's just good for
Speaker 3: for everyone. And yeah, poor Portland fans are great. Like
Speaker 3: Portland fans, it seems like it's all love, I mean exciting.
Speaker 2: It's also super funny, like because you know, not be
Speaker 2: lurking on Twitter and other places where fans talk and
Speaker 2: like it's interesting to watch. Like Blazers fans look at
Speaker 2: the odds that Vegas has got them, like you know
Speaker 2: what the twenty eight and a half wins is now
Speaker 2: what they're projected, and they're like yeah, probably, Like but
Speaker 2: you know what, it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 3: Though they're gonna hit those are gonna be hitting different.
Speaker 5: I mean, like we can be honest about it. Look,
Speaker 5: while I was absolutely one of those folks like, hey,
Speaker 5: just take the Miami deal, just get it over with,
Speaker 5: that was just for my benefit. Portland made the right decision.
Speaker 5: They wound up with a pretty good haul all things considered,
Speaker 5: especially in a situation where everyone knew that he wanted
Speaker 5: to be moved and everyone knew that he pretty much,
Speaker 5: I don't want to say he had the leverage, but
Speaker 5: they weren't going to bring him back into the mix.
Speaker 5: But being able to enter the scoop era with you know,
Speaker 5: DeAndre Aiden and with you know, with Malcolm Brogden, if
Speaker 5: he winds up staying or if they ended up getting
Speaker 5: another piece for him with the pigs that they got,
Speaker 5: as well as the swaps, I think Joe Ronan and
Speaker 5: that Berlazers, you know, front office did a fantastic job.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I wouldn't know anything about that.
Speaker 3: You know, we we are also being held hostage by
Speaker 3: a player who has a little less leverage than Damian.
Speaker 1: Lillard in the Philadelphia seventy six ers. But we'll see,
Speaker 1: they'll probably work something out. Yeah, Jack, come on, everybody,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: I'm over of a jersey.
Speaker 3: Every everyone except the Celtics fan, which is why this
Speaker 3: next trade her.
Speaker 1: Is so bad.
Speaker 4: Drew Holiday, It's so I love Drew Holiday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love him too. Yeah, bean Town baby, that's
Speaker 2: where he's at.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: It's uh, it's what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 4: What shall we do with this one? Because it's they also.
Speaker 2: Look potent Boston Now I feel like, okay, so it's
Speaker 2: Boston and Milwaukee right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure, it seems like it. I mean,
Speaker 3: everybody's like already talking about when are their matchups because
Speaker 3: it really feels like it's uh, you know, uh bilateral
Speaker 3: powers in the Eastern Conference. The Western Conference is stacked too.
Speaker 3: The league is stacked. It's gonna be it's gonna be
Speaker 3: a lot of fun, fun teams.
Speaker 1: And then even not.
Speaker 3: At the top, I'm so excited to see Webbing Yama
Speaker 3: and what he's gonna do. Right, but this one, as
Speaker 3: you can see, I'm trying to change the subject already
Speaker 3: because this one hurts.
Speaker 2: This is real man. Him and Derek White.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the Celtics had this thing that was like
Speaker 3: a little secret in my heart that was giving me hope.
Speaker 3: That was like they have made a mistake. They've miscalculated
Speaker 3: in being like we're sending our alpha dogs away so
Speaker 3: that these other two better players will automatically magically become
Speaker 3: Alpha Doux And I don't think that's ever how it works,
Speaker 3: like you know, Michael Jordan, Yeah, they were that way
Speaker 3: from the start, and so so it just it seemed
Speaker 3: like a miscalculation.
Speaker 5: On their end.
Speaker 1: And then and then they go and do this and totally.
Speaker 3: Yeah, prat stevens Man doesn't doesn't miss very often.
Speaker 5: You're being professional about this. I was straight hated, like
Speaker 5: straight Hayden, because Drew is the exact type of player
Speaker 5: that they needed. Yet you know, there were a lot
Speaker 5: of questions marks, or at least some question marks about
Speaker 5: the decision making down the stretch of games. You know,
Speaker 5: some of the shot selection. You're not really going to
Speaker 5: have that issue with Drew, and he's gonna lock down
Speaker 5: and give them to you know, give them the defensive
Speaker 5: presence in the backcourt that they you know that they
Speaker 5: were losing. I hate this deal simply because it made it.
Speaker 5: I didn't think Boston was truly going to be a
Speaker 5: contender even with all of that talent. Now, yeah, they're
Speaker 5: right there, if not in the driver's seat. You know,
Speaker 5: they're vying for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's they're gonna be very good.
Speaker 3: And like, also this puts them in a position where
Speaker 3: they have like a veteran who it's gonna be easier for.
Speaker 3: Like there's less pressure on Tatum and Brown to like
Speaker 3: become the alpha dogs, like as like in a vacuum,
Speaker 3: you know, suddenly like they have to be the leaders.
Speaker 3: And like I I thought that that was one of
Speaker 3: those things in my backfire a little bit, but now
Speaker 3: it just seems like just the perfect move they never missed.
Speaker 3: What a great franchise must be nice for you Boston fans, man,
Speaker 3: it really must be uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean yeah, Like it's funny because before
Speaker 2: I'm like, let's hang number eighteen up, baby, And I'm like,
Speaker 2: now all the Celtics fans are like, let's hang number
Speaker 2: eighteen up, baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, glorious.
Speaker 3: A couple of days where I was like, this is
Speaker 3: Milwaukee's the best team in the East, Like this is
Speaker 3: gonna be nice going into a season without Boston being
Speaker 3: like the presumptive like dominant favorite.
Speaker 6: And.
Speaker 1: It was just it was two days. Yeah, right now
Speaker 1: that's over.
Speaker 5: At least you weren't jumping the gun saying things like,
Speaker 5: so Milwaukee runs the East, so some of us, you know,
Speaker 5: we weren't as causes.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, but shoutout fellow brill and Drew Holiday, you know, yeah, man.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's like it's wild too, Like that was
Speaker 2: wild to just see like the Bucks fans really hurting
Speaker 2: after that one though, too, Like everyone was like, I
Speaker 2: we love him.
Speaker 4: He may have given us our one of the greatest
Speaker 4: plays in Bucks.
Speaker 1: History, but it's gonna be hard to hate him, but
Speaker 1: you know, we'll find a way.
Speaker 2: Well, it's wild too because everyone is like the respective teams,
Speaker 2: like especially like Bucks fans, like, man, when he comes,
Speaker 2: we are getting out of our seats and we were
Speaker 2: applauding that man, like this's just there's no other way around,
Speaker 2: Like there's no there's no ill will going that direction.
Speaker 2: It's more like heartache, which those are the hardest traits,
Speaker 2: like when you're just kind of broken as a fan,
Speaker 2: like I don't want to.
Speaker 4: See them in any other uniform except hours.
Speaker 3: Sounds like the Bucks fans could you could learn a
Speaker 3: thing or two from Philadelphia seventy six ers fans? Okay,
Speaker 3: psychological terrorism.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, oh, they left.
Speaker 1: They think they're better than you is your family? How
Speaker 1: are they?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 2: Well, so what they got now there's no more time? Lord,
Speaker 2: he's out, so now so what kp Al Horford?
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, probably coming off the bench with Horford.
Speaker 5: They probably need to still solidify that position if we're
Speaker 5: being recognized the names or you know, you know, popular names,
Speaker 5: but they're gonna need so they're gonna need some depth there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah maybe, Yeah, if Porzingis doesn't stay healthy all season,
Speaker 3: like that is one kind of weak point in what
Speaker 3: seems to be a pretty bulletproof roster. But like you know,
Speaker 3: he's he's not a he hasn't stayed healthy for a while.
Speaker 3: So well, we'll see how it goes. Because they don't
Speaker 3: have a lot of biggs, but I also feels like
Speaker 3: bigs who can get you stops on defense with that
Speaker 3: much offense spread around the perimeter, Like you can bring
Speaker 3: somebody in and figure that out if you need to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that they they got. They got Winyan Gabriel.
Speaker 2: They just signed Whenyan Gabriel, so you know, maybe maybe
Speaker 2: he'll help out.
Speaker 3: Man, I am so bad at knowing who any of
Speaker 3: these players are who are.
Speaker 2: Not like he signed former Laker great oh Wyan Gabriel. Yeah, okay, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it wasn't like yesterday when you're like, y'all, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna lie. I have no idea who Devin Vassal is.
Speaker 2: Devin Vassel is that I would say vasl just to
Speaker 2: not make it a medieval slight or insult term you vassal.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, Chelsea.
Speaker 3: The post from Woe like he's being signed for like
Speaker 3: so much money and he's like he's a key part,
Speaker 3: like one of one of the cornerstones of the Spurs
Speaker 3: franchise into the future, and I was like, I don't
Speaker 3: know who that man is.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5: In fairness to you, the last couple of years have
Speaker 5: been some lean years in San Antonio, so yeah, now
Speaker 5: that's bad and they developed their player as well, and
Speaker 5: now and now you know, it's all mystery box situations
Speaker 5: for us. So I'll look forward to that with San
Speaker 5: Antonio this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's uh, it's a it's a bridge over
Speaker 2: River Qui because it's been some lean years, if you know,
Speaker 2: is that what you meant? The Okay? Who also did
Speaker 2: Lawrence of Arabia see David Lean for all my film
Speaker 2: I Cinema buffs out there. That was for y'all. I'm
Speaker 2: also a referen to the YouTube viral video Unforgivable.
Speaker 4: All right, let's take a break.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's come back, talk some more trades after this.
Speaker 1: We're we're back. I think we're back.
Speaker 2: I think we're back too. So yeah, what about Dominaton
Speaker 2: Is he dominating DeAndre?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: His well that back fully, we were talking about that tattoo,
Speaker 2: had not seen it before, did not quite put it together.
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's in Portland. He's had some really warm
Speaker 2: words to say, like he's like the second I got here,
Speaker 2: it just felt like love. He's like, I feel like
Speaker 2: where I'm supposed to be because I felt like in
Speaker 2: Phoenix he was doing stuff like they don't even want
Speaker 2: me here man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it constantly in trade rumors.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, and like outwardly it's just like it's
Speaker 2: just it's hard being years. So I feel like maybe
Speaker 2: this is this is a healthier move for him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's always good to be somewhere where you feel
Speaker 5: like you're wanted, but in particular for him, the reason
Speaker 5: why I thought it was it's a good deal is
Speaker 5: while yes, the core group is all pretty young around him,
Speaker 5: he's in a he's in a unique position to where
Speaker 5: like in year four or five or he can be
Speaker 5: the veteran voice like of the contributors. You know, he
Speaker 5: you know, he really had, he really has that opportunity.
Speaker 5: So I hope for his sake, it's it's not a
Speaker 5: matter of just you know, just words. You know that
Speaker 5: sounds good. I would love to see him be dominant
Speaker 5: and uh, you know, help them get past that twenty
Speaker 5: eight point five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's if that learning curve might be. We've
Speaker 2: got a lot of a lot of young guys too.
Speaker 4: But I feel like Scoot, you know, he's not I
Speaker 4: feel like the time in the G League counts for something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a veteran presence.
Speaker 2: On some level. But yeah, it's like it's like while
Speaker 2: it's I think like at media Day they're like he's like.
Speaker 4: I'm not Dame, I'm Schoot Henderson. And you're like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: good for you. Carve your own identity out, sir, carve
Speaker 4: your own identity out.
Speaker 1: What caught you guys' attention for media day?
Speaker 2: Like the can't think of anything kinds best if you
Speaker 2: ask me.
Speaker 3: Got Jimmy's hair. Oh, Jimmy's look overall ball out boy.
Speaker 3: Uh true, truly the internet undefeated in terms of coming
Speaker 3: up with the ball out boy nickname. Jimmy Butler, undefeated
Speaker 3: in terms of one upping himself from.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because he went from wig to just like, let
Speaker 4: me just press.
Speaker 5: My hair real quick.
Speaker 2: Give you this version a little bit. Yeah with the
Speaker 2: with the fake lip rings. I hope there there are
Speaker 2: some rule doesn't come down that prevents this from happening,
Speaker 2: because this is one of you're like, in a way,
Speaker 2: it makes media days like Christmas for fans like Cole,
Speaker 2: here's the new Jimmy. What do we got?
Speaker 3: The key question is because like as anybody you know
Speaker 3: what watching in the playoffs and you know, they would
Speaker 3: show his player photo fors yeah, from that year and
Speaker 3: it was the long wig picture. Is his picture this
Speaker 3: year going to be ballout boy?
Speaker 2: It looks yeah, he took he took.
Speaker 5: The team pictures in the with that hairstyle.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, that's going to be his hair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because if you look at like what the official
Speaker 2: twenty three twenty four season headshot is, it is one
Speaker 2: n this except I feel like he could have had
Speaker 2: his hairstyles do some light last looks before, but it's
Speaker 2: but it's poppin' apparently. I think. I don't know if
Speaker 2: this is true or not, but they said they updated
Speaker 2: his two K photo.
Speaker 5: Also, that is fantastic to this. I might buy two
Speaker 5: K just to play ask him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to have to have Emo Jimmy, you gotta have it.
Speaker 3: So yeah, not only shouldn't they change the rules to
Speaker 3: prevent this, they need to, like other players need to
Speaker 3: step up. Yeah, other players need to start stepping up
Speaker 3: and just like make this like a day where you
Speaker 3: get to show your inner whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly where it's like, well, I can't play with
Speaker 2: lip rings obviously because they're not allowed, but this is
Speaker 2: this is who I am with, you know, double zero
Speaker 2: gauges in my ears or need it?
Speaker 5: Jack to answer your questions was absolutely you know, obviously
Speaker 5: the Jimmy situation. But I don't know if you guys
Speaker 5: saw the clip of Dame he was a he was
Speaker 5: It was at media day you speaking to Chris Aines. Yeah,
Speaker 5: the way that story broke out, that's definitely my moment of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because apparently Dame had a bit of a prank
Speaker 2: played on him by one O g Andobi.
Speaker 4: Let's hear from Dame himself.
Speaker 7: We were having a full conversation and we were just
Speaker 7: just talking. Well I forgot what we were talking about.
Speaker 7: But you had to get off abruptly, like you you
Speaker 7: got obviously explained it. For my point of view, it
Speaker 7: was like a nervous reaction you had. You have to
Speaker 7: get off abruptly. Can you take people?
Speaker 5: Behin to say?
Speaker 2: Is what happened?
Speaker 7: What led to that abrupt into our conversation.
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously I didn't know what was Everything was
Speaker 8: up in the air and I was on the phone
Speaker 8: and I just got a random text from og like
Speaker 8: welcome to Toronto. Yeah, he was like welcome to Toronto.
Speaker 8: And he always like messing around, like joking and stuff
Speaker 8: like that. We trained together in the summer a little
Speaker 8: bit and he texted me like welcome to Toronto. So
Speaker 8: I was like, man, let me call this dude and
Speaker 8: see if I finally called him.
Speaker 5: He didn't answer.
Speaker 2: Then he called me back he was laughing. I was like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: leave Toronto alone.
Speaker 1: Leave Toronto alone. Man, that's your city.
Speaker 3: Why why are you dropping welcome to Toronto pranks on people?
Speaker 5: I think it probably was related to Dame's dating specific
Speaker 5: or the rumor being floated out there that he specifically
Speaker 5: didn't want to play there. Yeah, you know, I think
Speaker 5: it's the great you know, the great city of Toronto.
Speaker 5: You know, if you guys want to host us host
Speaker 5: mad Boosties at leap point.
Speaker 3: That was I think that was the best stop on
Speaker 3: our TDZ World Domination tour.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Toronto was. That was wild went off.
Speaker 2: It was also I've never again and I hate bringing
Speaker 2: this up, but like fantastic people, some of the most
Speaker 2: warm and warmest, kindest people.
Speaker 3: You'll need so leave them alone. Exalt their new God.
Speaker 3: Grady Dick, please please, yeah, day, Maybe you should be happy.
Speaker 3: Maybe you should have. Maybe the prank was that you
Speaker 3: got so excited you were going to Toronto.
Speaker 2: You know it is.
Speaker 1: Should we take one more break and come back and
Speaker 1: close out? What do we think? Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. We'll be right back and we're back.
Speaker 3: We're back and well hell well, well, Jabbari Davis, you
Speaker 3: have been.
Speaker 1: I believe the phrase is hoisted on your own Petard.
Speaker 2: Yes, Sir Jean Luke Petard.
Speaker 3: If I may the torture box, the saw torture game
Speaker 3: that you've designed for others has snagged you yourself, Jigsaw.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like to play a game. We play a game,
Speaker 1: your own game.
Speaker 5: I would love to.
Speaker 2: Well, guess what You've entered the fourth quarter. It's time
Speaker 2: for the rapid fire round of questioning. You already know.
Speaker 4: We're gonna chest pass you the ball. Don't make long
Speaker 4: winded answers.
Speaker 1: Don't.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're not biting. We're not biting on the
Speaker 2: jab steps. Okay, speaking of jab steps.
Speaker 3: By the way, this is episode eighty one, the Jalen
Speaker 3: Rose episode, right, yeah, the.
Speaker 2: Fake hair episode.
Speaker 4: So let's get into it.
Speaker 2: It's time for the fourth quarter.
Speaker 5: Brian, that's right, Brian.
Speaker 3: Oh, Jabari is such a sad look for you coming
Speaker 3: in and just be like yeah, like doing doing like
Speaker 3: sort of a hype man bully thing.
Speaker 5: You know, there's always other that secondary guy that doesn't
Speaker 5: really get name credit or anything, but he just gets.
Speaker 1: Caught by Brian.
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, like, usually you're so mean and
