24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,800

45
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: how did you How did you end up co hosting

46
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: on Gil's arena?

47
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: How'd I ended up?

48
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 3: Well?

49
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: I did a couple of shows for Josiah. First he

50
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: was on another podcast, and then Gil. He would invite

51
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: me over and we would just talk about the game sometimes.

52
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: And then my girl occasion, she was you know, she

53
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: thought it would be great for me to do it.

54
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: At first, I wasn't really into it, like, you know,

55
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: I didn't want to really sit there and talk about

56
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: the game and talk about the players and things like that.

57
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: But she thought it would be great open therapy for me.

58
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: And you know, Gil being Gil, he set it up

59
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: the right way and everything else was everything Shack.

60
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: I know you were motivated early on by if people

61
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 4: were ranked ahead of you or if they were drafted

62
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: near you.

63
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: Uh.

64
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: From what I'm seeing online, Brandon's going through it right

65
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 4: now with his draft class. I feel like the two

66
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: thousand and nine draft classes kicking each other's.

67
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: Out right now, and I just want to make sure

68
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 3: we're okay.

69
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me, yeah, tell me who's involved with that,

70
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: because I see some things, but I want I want

71
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: to hear all the names. I want to hit the rules.

72
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: I want to know what's going on and I want

73
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,360

Speaker 2: But but one thing I did say. I said all

108
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: these guys had better careers than me. Of course my

109
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: career was cut short because of my achilles, but I'm

110
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,720

112
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: I like my chances because the thing that scares me

113
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: about that game is when both of y'all get hot,

114

116
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: the other two. I know who they are, respecting them,

117
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: but I've seen you when you get hot, what you

118
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,960
