0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 1>of the broadcast asked how bad was that? I'm usually

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 1>no good in many respects, but my zincoff needs a

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of work, a lot How you're doing out there,

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>seventy six ers pod people, Brian Seltzer bidding you hello.

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Thank you as always for checking out our stuff here

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>on the seventy six ers podcast network Feed. One of

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the big things that comes with the gig that I

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>am privileged to have is you get to talk to

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>people a lot, oftentimes informal settings in an interview, and

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>one of the inherent challenges that I love about interviewing

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>people is trying to uncover over the course of an

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>interview a piece of information that someone hasn't heard before

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>that leaves the listener coming away from it thinking, you

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>know what I learned, something I found out, something new

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>that I hadn't heard before. So that's one part of

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>the challenge. The next part of the challenge is once

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>you do uncover that compelling tidbit, you get this rush,

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>at least I do, of excitement. You're like, yes, I

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>found it. This is the nugget that's going to draw

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>people in. But once you discover that, you've got to

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>attack it. Not in a real aggressive sense, but you've

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>got to go after it, mind it even further and

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>try and really flush out a story. And that's one

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>of the things that I really love about the conversation

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>we're about to hear between our Lauren Rosen and the

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>one and only Julius Irving here. It is if we

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>can just start off something that I've had the pleasure

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>of speaking with some of our current sixers and some

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>alumni as well about, it's the importance of voting. Obviously

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 1>this year feels particularly important. But when it comes to

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>using your voice and voting and making that opportunity something

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>that you seize, why is it so important to you

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>to vote well? This year in particular, it's it's the

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 1>most important election that you know, I've ever I've ever

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>seen it, and I've ever thought about because of all

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the various things that are going on in our country today.

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm I'm a senior citizen, and uh I

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>can you know, think back to you know, the days

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>when you know, voter suppression existed in the seventies and

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>eighties and in different forms than what you see today.

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>And it was an interesting time because you know, athletes,

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>athletes usually steer clearer politics came up at a time

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>when when athletes weren't encouraged necessary to go out front

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and take political stands. That was mostly what the agents

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>fed the athletes and said, you know you uh, now

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you can't do both. You know, we we like democrats

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and Republicans. We want democrats and Republicans to wear our

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>sneakers and to you know, where our gear and to

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>uh to grant us endorsements or what have you. So,

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I know, in my in my twenties and thirties, when

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I was a professional basketball player, uh, you know, there

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.039
<v Speaker 1>were only a couple of times I think, you know,

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I really liked the Kennedy family. Uh, so I was

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>public in terms of supporting the Kennedy's. Uh you know,

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>they were somewhat you know, my heroes during the day.

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>They followed you know, my my my love of Abraham Lincoln,

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know, my love of several political figures, giant

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>political figures which were you know, great in my eyes.

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>But you know, today it's it's different. Uh, you know,

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the having a platform and and speaking out on it,

0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>going out of your way, uh, reaching in your pocket,

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and donating to the cause that you believe. And you know,

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>these are all things that athletes and entertainers alike move

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 1>towards instead of moving away from. You've talked about this

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.599
<v Speaker 1>a little bit when the players were in the bubble.

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>But when you talk about how guys from your generation

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>were maybe not encouraged to make their views public, it

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>seems like this generation of NBA players has sort of

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>tossed that to the side. For the most part. There

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of guys that have been really vocal,

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 1>especially this year. Are you proud to see that? What

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>does it make you feel when you see the younger

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>guys being so vocal and outspoken. I feel a great

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>sense of prime I think that you know, this has

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>been something that has evolved out of many, many circumstances,

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 1>many many conversations, many meet and greeds, many you know,

0:05:54.920 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>situations where incidents have occurred that have affected family members.

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>So you know, there's there's so many athletes who are

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:10.919
<v Speaker 1>out front because you know, they've they've been scarred, you know,

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.359
<v Speaker 1>by some of the social injustice issues, some of the

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>political politicizing of situations, and you know, this generation, you know,

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>they're standing on the shoulders of previous generations. And I

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>think those previous generations have you know, allowed them to

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>have pretty good job security and and a lot of

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>free time with what to think about what they want

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>to do. And what they could be doing with their lives.

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>One of the Sixers who's been pretty outspoken is Matis's Bible,

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and I had the pleasure of going to vote with

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 1>him and some of our other Sixers staffers this weekend,

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and something we discussed was how important it is to

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>step into the booth educated and just make sure that

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.559
<v Speaker 1>you do your research on the candidates that you're voting

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 1>for and the questions on the back of the ballot.

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 1>How important is that research component to you? Well, you know,

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I think for the major elections, you know what, you're

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the White House and the Senate um and then as

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>you go down the line and you deal with the

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>sheriff of the county and a controller and the tax

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>collector or whatever many down the line, stuff is no

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>branding because there's only one person in the ballot, so

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>you so you only have one choice. But in terms

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>of the major choices, and I voted yesterday by mail,

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>so I was just kind of happy to, you know,

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>fill out my ballot and I go over to the

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>post office and I was gonna put it in the mailbox,

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>but the post office was still open and when they

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 1>saw me come up, you know, heykay, whatever. It's a

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>one guy. You know, he comes out and he looks

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>at it and whatever. He said, I'm going to take

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>special care of this and make sure it gets to

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>where it's supposed to go to. So that was. That was.

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a great moment and make you feel like you

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>know you're you're you're an insider versus an outsider, because

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't say for sure over the years that I've

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 1>been really you know, all that dedicated to casting a vote.

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned your levels of dedication to casting a vote.

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember the first time that you voted yesterday? Wow?

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>And why is that? Uh? For some of the things

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>that I said previously, and and I wasn't so sure

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:36.080
<v Speaker 1>that the vote counted, that an individual's vote counted. That

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously an endorsement, you know, stuff that people

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>could be inspired by, people could question or support. And

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:56.959
<v Speaker 1>uh so, so my my politics were somewhat limited to that,

0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, where I would try to be an inspiring

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>inspiration force if I like someone, I just didn't go

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 1>strictly down the party line or whatever. So you know,

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I've been to White House a number of times for

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a variety of reasons, and the last time was while

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 1>President Barack Obama was there and we were granted an

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 1>audience and you're in the Oval office, and my family

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:26.680
<v Speaker 1>and I you know, spent quality time with him. So

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the voting piece, Yeah, it really didn't hit me till

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, last well the last four years. In the

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>last four years, I was like, you know, you you

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>you've been involved and you've been a player and you've

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:48.080
<v Speaker 1>been a participant, but you really haven't voted. So so

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>now we checked that box. I think you bring up

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 1>a really unique point because you have been very vocal,

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and you've been active in the community, and you've made

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.559
<v Speaker 1>a lot of change and supported some really important figures.

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>But to now sort of level with everybody else, maybe

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>people that don't have as much influencer pull in the

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 1>world the way that you do, and just vote and

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.319
<v Speaker 1>just make sure that your voice counts the same way

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.559
<v Speaker 1>as every single one of them. How does that make

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 1>you feel to sort of be a part of things

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.600
<v Speaker 1>on a high level, but then also boil it down

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and do what everybody else is doing. Yeah, yeah, I

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's uh, you know, being at one with the masses.

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:30.079
<v Speaker 1>And you know, if you think about the forefathers in

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>this country, and you know that the goal was to unite,

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to be the United States of America, to you know,

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>be everybody, to be you know, harn a common level

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>with common goals and common opportunities. And so when you

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 1>go out and voting, you know, yours is one of

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 1>even though it's you know, tens of millions of votes,

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.679
<v Speaker 1>it is putting you on a level with the masses.

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>You talk about those masses. What do you have to say?

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a message to maybe the young docs

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>out there that don't think that the that the voice

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>counts or aren't planning to vote, Um, would you try

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>to persuade them otherwise? Uh? You know, I think at

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:21.559
<v Speaker 1>this stage the action is louder than the words, but

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the words are still necessary. And I mean it's not

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>necessarily something that I want to make a pivot and

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>devote my life too. But in terms of time, timing

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>and opportunity like this, uh, you know, to to get

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>on and do this inter be with you And I

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>think this is a great thing. And I think those

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 1>who hear it, and you know, they'll they'll judge in

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 1>their own way in terms of how they're affected by it,

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 1>but hopefully they have a positive effect, Well, you're doing

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>this with us today has been really special. And if

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I may shift years just a little bit, somebody else

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>who has been very outspoken when it comes to speaking

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>up for what's right is Doc Rivers, the new head

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 1>coach of the seventy six ers. What was your reaction

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 1>when you found out that Doc was coming aboard? Fell

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 1>out of my chair. I was like, whoa man, that's awesome,

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, for him to be available and

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>for the decision we made so quickly, it was a

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:30.680
<v Speaker 1>no brainer to get him in. We worked together before.

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, I was a senior VP of the Orlando

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.439
<v Speaker 1>Magic while Doc Rivers was a coach down there, so

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>he was getting his speed wet and we got a

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 1>chance to know one another pretty pretty well, living in

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Orlando and spending some time out of the golf course

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.199
<v Speaker 1>and spent a lot of time in the gym with

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the guys. So so I am amped absolutely that he

0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 1>is a coach of the Sixers. You know, had a

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>great relationship with Brett Brown. He did a fine job

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and it was just time to move on with no regrets.

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Understanding that you know, the ultimate goal is the ultimate goal,

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to win the championship and Doc has been there,

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:21.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think he's going to provide the right type

0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 1>of leadership and decision making that will get the Sixers

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.679
<v Speaker 1>over to Hump. And when the two of you were

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 1>in Orlando together, that was obviously the beginning of his

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>career as a head coach and that it's been a

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 1>very illustrious career. What did you see him early as

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>a young head coach in this league? Well, you know,

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>a guy who's not afraid, for one thing, I think

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 1>he I think he made it as as a player

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 1>because of his driving, his determinations as well as his talent,

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>and he's not afraid to succeed. So uh, you know,

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>when the big moment comes, I think he'll do his

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 1>part and we just need to, you know, condition the

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 1>others so that everybody's doing their part. You know, front

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 1>officers doing their part because ends up doing their part,

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, everybody's everybody's doing their part and that's

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 1>how that's what makes it all come together. And this

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>group of players in particular, what do you hope that

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 1>they gain from Doc's wisdom? I think a sense of

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>pride for one thing. You know, it was it was

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>a great disparity between how team played on the road

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>versus playing at home. You know, amped up, excited, enthusiastic

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>at home and you know, winning ninety plus percentage of

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the games, then going on the road and land eggs

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and the Eggs gotta go, you know, I mean, you

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 1>have to defend the Ford at home, but you have

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 1>to you know, defend your own personal pride and your

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 1>record in your position in the playoffs when you go

0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 1>on the road. So so to become road warrior is

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I think if he could instill that in them and

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>encourage better performances on the road, you know that that'll

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 1>be huge just in terms of win loss record in

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 1>our position being in the top four in the in

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the East. And on a more personal note, obviously Doc's

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 1>nickname is a direct homage to you and your success

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 1>and talked about how he's been such a big fan

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 1>of yours. Is that like wild to you to think

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 1>about the impact you've had and now having it come

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 1>full circle in Philadelphia. Well, you know, there were a

0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:45.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of docks before me. So the fact that advocate

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, doctor J and Heath, doctor G with doctor

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Glenn or whatever. That that's that's how that's why that's

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 1>how we're gonna have to do it in Philadelphia. You know, it's, uh,

0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:58.800
<v Speaker 1>let's keep the J out there, let's keep the G

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 1>out there because it's so many docs throughout the world

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.600
<v Speaker 1>and we got to give them their props too. So

0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>if we go with doctor JA and doctor G, you're

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>cool with having two docks in Philadelphia. Very cool with that,

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Very cool with that. I mean, there's space for everybody. Okay. Well,

0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>all I have left to say is I personally really

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you having this conversation, and I think that the

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>folks that listen to and watch this are going to

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 1>feel the same way. So thank you so much once

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>again for doing this today. Well you're welcome, and it

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:37.240
<v Speaker 1>was enjoyable. Thank you. Love that a full endorsement. Two doctors.

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:42.240
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, it's kosher copasetic. Everyone's cool with it. From

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 1>doctor J to doctor G. I think we can now

0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 1>finally consider the matter case closed, no more debate. We

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 1>can call him doc as I think we should. That's

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 1>my stance on it, Doc Rivers, Doctor Julius Irvin. There

0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 1>is room, as doctor J said, for two all right,

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 1>great chat between Lauren and doctor Jay covered a lot

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.639
<v Speaker 1>of important matters, the foremost of which is making sure

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.440
<v Speaker 1>that you vote, drop off your ballot at a box

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.679
<v Speaker 1>in your designated area, or get to the polls on

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:21.280
<v Speaker 1>November third, this coming Tuesday. Crazy that the election is

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 1>upon us, this soon. Also crazy that in a matter

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:26.960
<v Speaker 1>of days we are going to be sitting right on
