20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. Before we get to the first

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: one tasks, something came up on this morning's daily show, Lee,

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: you were talking about the Sun's mascot, Go the Gorilla,

23
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: and I said, there's a weird reason why he became

24
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: the mascot and I couldn't remember right on the spot,

25
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: but I looked it up, had a couple people tweet

26
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: at me and slide into the Instagram dms.

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: So here's what happened with the gorilla.

28
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: Ly just a fun story, it's pretty crazy when you

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: think about it. For the first eleven seasons of their

30
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: existence in the NBA, the Sons had no mascot. There

31
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: was an early attempt to have this sunflower costume, but uh,

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: never cool, so probably a good idea. Then in the

33
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: winter of nineteen eighty, a singing telegram was sent to

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: the arena in a gorilla con and security saw him

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: the gorilla and suggested, hey, stay for a little bit,

36
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: entertain the fans during the breaks, and he kept coming

37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: to the games until he was officially invited to become

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: the Son's real mascot, and I didn't stop the early

39
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: Apparently there's been three people that have played go the Gorilla.

40
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: So hopefully those people that have previously been the mascot

41
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: get some Supreme clothing, some babe clothing, the coolest nikes.

42
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: From this endorsement deal that we talked about. So there

43
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: you go.

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 5: Well that figures too, because if they've been around since

45
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty you said, yes, a gorilla forty years, so

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 5: you get a good stint there if you are a goerrilla.

47
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 5: I mean you're going on average, what thirteen years as

48
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 5: your runners to guerrilla. Yeah, I think I think it's

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 5: you know, it's like the Godfather. You just pass it

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 5: down in your family, you know, And so I think

51
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 5: it's a pretty tight fit. It's pretty tight unit.

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: The Gorilla dudes, yeah, I mean, yeah, only three of them.

53
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how up to date this Wikipedia article was,

54
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: but let's say it's even four. You're right over in

55
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: the span of alright, yeah, forty years. That's a long

56
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: time bouncing around in a gorilla costume. But there you go,

57
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: Sonny Way, a little mascot facts for you there, Tassy.

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 4: All right, let's get into the first one here. I

59
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 4: appreciate that. I appreciate those mask effects. This question, Lebron

60
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 4: may hate. Kevin Durant may have hated Today's Daily Show.

61
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 4: Lebron's gonna hate this one. We're screwed, everybody, all right,

62
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 4: First one, good day, no dunks. There are still so

63
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 4: many potential playoff matchups out there. My question, if you're

64
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 4: the Lakers, do you prefer to a avoid the play

65
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: in and face the Clippers or Nuggets in the first round,

66
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: or b fall into the play in to snag the

67
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: seventh or eighth seed and face Phoenix or Utah in

68
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: round one, if, of course, La can get through the tourney.

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: He ends it with my God, I love the NBA

70
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: right now, even as a Raptors fan that's from Mike

71
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: and Calgary. Just can't get enough of the scenarios. And

72
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 4: I guess the stacked Western Conference. Even though he's a

73
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: he's a Raptor man. So what do you think, Skeets,

74
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 4: what would the Lakers prefer in or out?

75
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask y'all a question, Okay, a hypothetical

76
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: Lee specifically to you. All Right, the scenario here is

77
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: that a super villain has abducted your family. He has

78
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: taken them hostage. He has your boys, he has Roxy,

79
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: He even has the guy that comes and helps you

80
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: fix the holes in your roof.

81
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: Okay, it's got everybody that you look.

82
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, So this super villain you know, gets you on

83
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: the phone and says, look, you can get them back.

84
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: They're fine, I'm not going to do anything to them.

85
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: But you have to complete one of these shooting challenges.

86
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: And you have two options. The first one, Lee is

87
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: you have to hit six out of ten three pointers. Okay, sixty.

88
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: The second option, he says, because he's diabolical, says, you

89
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: must hit five out of ten three pointers. But before

90
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: you shoot those threes, you got to step to the

91
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: free throw line and hit at least one of two.

92
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: Which one are you doing, Lee? Either the free throw

93
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: it's just got to hit one or two, and then

94
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: you got to hit five or ten three pointers or

95
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: just straight up you're shooting the three ball six or ten.

96
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 5: See if you're family man, Yeah, I'm going to the

97
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 5: free throw line because I always feel like before I

98
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 5: play pickup basketball, I like to like knock in maybe

99
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 5: ten from the free throw line just to get that

100
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 5: radar locked in. Really, So it's amazing how like sometimes

101
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 5: I've turned up late to like pick up ball, and

102
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 5: you don't get those warm ups in and your shots

103
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 5: off the whole night. But you get those warm up

104
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 5: shots in and you're like, Okay, I'm feeling good. I

105
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 5: do get a bit of a sight a first, so

106
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 5: then I'm knocking in a free throw and then I'm

107
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 5: going to that left corner. So I'm going to that

108
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 5: left corner, and that's where I have to knock in

109
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 5: five out of ten, and I'm like, yeah, I think

110
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 5: I can hit five out of ten once I've seen

111
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 5: it go through. I've seen that the arms straight and

112
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 5: I've seen the I've seen the ball go through the net.

113
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: So okay, yeah, Well, the reason I asked you that

114
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: is the first option with the Lakers is avoiding that

115
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: play internet and just facing the Clippers or Nuggets. You

116
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: gotta win basically four out of seven games there in

117
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: the first round series. That's like fifty seven percent right

118
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: of winning that the games in a series like that,

119
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: let's rounded up, make it sixty percent. The second option

120
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: is the Lakers fall into the play Attorney and you

121
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: got those pesky free throws where you say, it's the

122
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: loneliest place in the world. My god, a supervillain has

123
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: your family. There's gonna be some pressure on you there.

124
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: And then the reason I made it five out of

125
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: ten threes is because of Mike's like theory here and

126
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: many others going well, it's an easier first round challenge

127
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: to have the sons of the Jazz. Now I wholeheartedly

128
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: disagree with that. That's why I took it from six

129
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: to five. Just to make this a weird, weird hypothetical

130
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: for Lee, who then got into the mechanics of getting.

131
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: To the gym. Yeah, you gained him an opportunity to

132
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: go to a hypothetical free pro line, thinking you wouldn't

133
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: take it. The guy can't bypass a regular free throw line.

134
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 3: Now you sent it into an imaginary one.

135
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just think this is silly.

136
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: I don't think you are actually going to take those

137
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: freezos because the truth is, it's still you got to

138
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: hit six out of the ten three pointers there, so

139
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: why are you adding even more shots? More things that

140
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: could go wrong there at the line. Maybe it's windy

141
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: outside ly, maybe the ball's a little sick, maybe it's

142
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: a slick, maybe somebody's distracting you.

143
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: So no, test, I mean to answer this.

144
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: I think it's like, first off, you're disrespecting the hell

145
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: out of two of the best teams in the league,

146
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: the Jazz and the Suns. And yeah, okay, I get it,

147
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: they haven't done very far, the experience isn't there. But

148
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: still I have no problem, you know, wanting to face

149
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: the Clippers or the Nuns because I'm in I'm in

150
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and nothing could go wrong in the play.

151
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: In tournament is what I'm getting that. So what do

152
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: you think to you?

153
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: I have a say, yeah, I'll make my answer quick.

154
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: I went a similar route. Lebron James has done this

155
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: now for eighteen seasons. I'm sure he prefers the same

156
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 4: rhythm of a series that he knows, which is lose

157
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 4: the first game and then crush you the rest of it,

158
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 4: rather than, you know, whatever happens in it. One game

159
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 4: scenario could be a bad, could be two game scenario

160
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 4: where yeah, he still might not be up to snuff. Listen,

161
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 4: I think they would get through the play in tournament

162
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: and play the Suns or the Jazz, which I would

163
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: be very excited to see. But you're eliminating that uncertainty

164
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 4: and you're just going with what you know. So yeah,

165
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: I wanted to include this question because, yeah, everyone is

166
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 4: talking about it. It is interesting, but I don't think

167
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: there's any chance, even though I think it would help

168
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 4: just to get a couple more games before facing a

169
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 4: real good Phoenix Suns team or a real good Utah

170
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 4: Jazz team. I lead with the Suns because I would

171
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 4: be more scared of the Phoenix Suns right now than

172
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 4: the Utah Jazz. But I think that could help Lebron,

173
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: but either way, he would rather just be in the playoffs.

174
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 4: What do you think, Trey?

175
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think y'all nailed it, because Lebron has already

176
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 3: said he doesn't know if he's going to be totally

177
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: healthy for the remainder of this year. Maybe he came

178
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: back too early in the first place. Now you're adding

179
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: an additional one two games to Lebron's workload, and anything

180
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: could happened to that, you know, Like I mean, I

181
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: don't really think the Lakers would be phased about having

182
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: to win one game and then go on to the playoffs,

183
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: but anything could happen in that one game. Lebron could

184
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 3: sprain his ankle again. Ad could get hurt and go

185
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 3: down for the remainder of the playoffs. If you're eliminating

186
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: just one extra forty eight minute session, you gotta do

187
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: it unless you're Lee Ellis and you want to get

188
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: your free throats in even while everybody's waiting for you

189
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: to just come on and play the court. No, no, no,

190
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: I gotta get my cider ready. I gotta get my

191
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 3: radar locked in here. We're trying to play. We got

192
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: nine guys.

193
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: Let's got here first.

194
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, nobody wants to go into the play

195
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: in tournament because anything could happen. I don't really think

196
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: the Lakers are totally phased about having to play any

197
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: of these teams that are going to have home court

198
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: advantage against them in the first round of the playoffs.

199
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: They just beat the Nuggets without Lebron, so they gotta

200
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: be feeling pretty good there. And the Clippers, despite the

201
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: fact that they've been playing some pretty solid basketball, there's

202
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: still the Little Brothers in La. Surely the Lakers would

203
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: love to take it to them. So you know, I

204
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 3: think they're just got no want to go straight into

205
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: the playoffs if they can lee.

206
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 5: What do you think, Yeah, it's the same because you know,

207
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 5: let's just say you had a jarm around or something

208
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 5: like that, just absolutely have the game of his life

209
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 5: in that elimination against the Lakers. Lebron just doesn't want

210
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 5: to have to go through that. You get a little

211
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 5: bit of a safety net by automatically going to the

212
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 5: playoffs that you can lose a game or two or

213
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 5: three and still advance, But the potential of losing one

214
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 5: game and being eliminated from playoff contention is not something

215
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 5: that Lebron. You know, he doesn't feel that at his

216
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 5: stage of his career he should even have to really

217
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 5: contemplate that he should be automatically, and that's why I

218
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 5: think he's also made those comments about the playing tournament

219
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 5: because he knows the Lakers are a little closer to

220
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 5: it than he would like them to be. But I

221
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 5: think ultimately they'll be safe anyway, So it's a bit

222
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 5: of a moot point.

223
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: Next question, Hey, dudes, Since Lucas crazy three point floater

224
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: to help the Mavericks beat the Grizzlies a couple of

225
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: weeks ago, I think the Devin Harris half court shot

226
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: has been mentioned like four or five.

227
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: Times on the show. At least a handful of times.

228
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't know about four or five, but as a

229
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: Mas fan, I've always been very fond of Devin Harris,

230
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: but I think to most NBA fans he's probably just

231
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: a guy. And maybe even venturing into journeyman territory has

232
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: got me thinking which NBA player has the biggest disparity

233
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: between how good slash successful they were in their career

234
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: and how often you guys talk about them Because of

235
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: some random play or moment churn up thunder thighs flossom.

236
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: That's from Adam So TK, why don't you get us

237
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: started here with this one?

238
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: Well, much in the same manner of Devin Harris, Trevor

239
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 3: Booker is a guy that we bring up quite a

240
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: bit around here. He averaged six point nine points per

241
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 3: game during an eight year career. That's nice. He was

242
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: a nice role player. But just like Devin Harris's half

243
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 3: court shot, Trevor Booker also hit one of the craziest

244
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 3: shots in league history, so he comes up quite a

245
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 3: bit on the show, all thanks to the no looker Booker,

246
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 3: a shot we actually tried to recreate way back in

247
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 3: the starter's days and worth another look.

248
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: By the way, again at that Booker. If you didn't

249
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: see it was Friday night. I mean, it's unbelievable, that's

250
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: at But we wanted to know just how difficult this was,

251
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: So before tonight's show, we took it over to the

252
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: court here in the studio and took a couple of

253
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: cracks at it. We got up there for us, looked

254
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: pretty good. All of us had to go. I went

255
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: a little long, not bad. I don't know, like how deep.

256
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 3: Are we are.

257
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 5: We sort of wear.

258
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 3: Bookers about the hash mark about defense.

259
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: Thing's got a little wild. Traysan was block.

260
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: Google was called for a foul.

261
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: We called for a foul, but look, we did have

262
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: some success cash.

263
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: But I thought tasted a little better, a little more

264
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: lime drive boom oh yeah, very nice, and he was

265
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: a little more pumped up.

266
00:12:50,080 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: So it is it is, And.

267
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 4: I guess he wanted to end on a celebration. I think, well, yeah,

268
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 4: it's the editing choice there, but nice, nice rolling the start.

269
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: Actually looking at it again, I don't think we were

270
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: for far enough away there. Booker is a little more out,

271
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: isn't he like when we saw that it was pretty deep.

272
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: We were a little closer to the key. But yeah,

273
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: we knocked a couple of them in.

274
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Trevor Booker, you know he basically at this

275
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: point he only comes up when we're talking about the

276
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 3: no looker Booker. But I feel like we haven't even

277
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 3: seen that shot attempted again since that went in with

278
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 3: Trevor Booker. Maybe it has happened and nobody cares because

279
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 3: it's hard to make and probably it ends in an

280
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: airball most of the time, But to actually make it

281
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: to get it off in time. With regards to the

282
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: shot clock crazy stuff.

283
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 4: That was a bounce pass, right, just yeah, okay.

284
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's why we were bounce passing it

285
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: to each other.

286
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 4: I've forgotten about that.

287
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, nice, it's a great, great answer. Lead You

288
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: have any other players that come to mind?

289
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, mine's not a play, but it's more a game.

290
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 5: And it's a rookie Brandon Jennings and he's seventh game

291
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 5: where he had a fifty five point explosion because I

292
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 5: remember before the season when he got drafted because he

293
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 5: went to Italy. Remember he didn't go to college. He

294
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 5: was like, I'm going to get paid rather than go

295
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 5: and play in the college system. So he came over

296
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 5: got drafted by the Bucks, and I think I told

297
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 5: our old friend Dan Loraima from the Score, and I said,

298
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 5: watch you have for this guy. I think that experience

299
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 5: is really going to help him. He merely had a

300
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 5: triple double in his first game, seventeen points, nine rebounds,

301
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 5: nine to sis. He had thirty two points. I think

302
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 5: the night before the fifty five, and after that fifty five,

303
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm telling you, man, the next Allen Iverson.

304
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 5: This guy's better than Alan Iverson, you know, because he's

305
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 5: got the three point shot. He's a better shoot than Ivesan,

306
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 5: but he's about the same size. He's also got a

307
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 5: bit of spunk about him, you know, like he's got

308
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 5: that confidence where he's like, I'm not playing college, I'm

309
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 5: not going to the traditional route. And then he just

310
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 5: exploded onto the scene and it was like, oh, he's

311
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 5: rookie of the Year for sure, maybe an All Star.

312
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 5: But his career, he's only thirty one. It feels like

313
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 5: he's been out of the league ten years, you know,

314
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 5: because he stayed there with Milwaukee. I think he turned

315
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 5: down a contract extension for after a while, they traded

316
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 5: into the Pistons, and then he sort of just bounced

317
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 5: around a bit. He went back to Europe. So, you know,

318
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 5: I just sort of feel when you see a rookie,

319
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 5: you know, maybe a little bit like LaMelo Ball doing things,

320
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 5: it just sort of for me, brings back like that

321
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 5: that the Brandon Jennings. Just for a while there, he

322
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 5: looked like an absolute steal from the box and he

323
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 5: was going to be a superstar. But his career sort

324
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 5: of sort of fell apart pretty quickly. Actually like in

325
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 5: terms of like that was his peak in his first season.

326
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 5: After that he kind of dropped off of.

327
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: Well, that's the weird part. His peak was in like

328
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: the first two weeks of his first season, and then

329
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: it just only went down because well, yeah, not many

330
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: places to go after you score fifty five.

331
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: There, No, that's that is a good one.

332
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: He definitely it's nice that his name is coming up with,

333
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, fifty point performances and stuff like that. Yeah,

334
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: he was just on some list he was. I guess

335
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: it was who was the young guy that.

336
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 5: Just went for Kevin Porter?

337
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then of course it's who was it Lebron?

338
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: It was him. It was Brandon Jennings.

339
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: And there was one more guy that had gone yea

340
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: for fifty that young it was a Teetum No Luca

341
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't think it was Luca.

342
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 4: They're those super big.

343
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it was. Yeah. Anyway, Jennings was in the

344
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: mix there for that one. Good one. You have a

345
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: you have one to us?

346
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, sorry Booker, it was Booker Books the book. Yeah, well,

347
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 4: speaking of Devin's Yeah, the emailer wrote in about Devin Harris.

348
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 4: Did Devin Harris get a fifty he had a monster game.

349
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 4: Maybe it wasn't right.

350
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: I don't remember fifty.

351
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 5: I think he had like a forty, like six or

352
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 5: something against the Mavericks after they tried it him. I

353
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 5: remember that he had the sort of revenge game. Yeah.

354
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an interesting it's an interesting guy because he

355
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 4: was an All Star for one year, traded for Jason Kidd.

356
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 4: A lot of definitely a lot of hype around Devin Harris,

357
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 4: but never yeah, never never developed into a star star.

358
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 4: But yeah he was. I really did like him. I

359
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 4: thought he was going to be super good. And it's

360
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 4: it brings up the definition of a journeyman Devin Harris.

361
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 4: I guess he kind of fits that profile, I guess,

362
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, he wasn't.

363
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 3: A got an All Star appearance though, so yeah, he

364
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: does have one All Star appearance. Man, this guy wore

365
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: all blue jerseys wild stuff. When you look at him

366
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: on Basketball Reference, Navy, Navy, Navy, maybe Navy light blue.

367
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: But he also played for like the Mavericks like three different.

368
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: Times, right, And I think that was the whole thing.

369
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: I believe that was included in the email.

370
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: We edited it out, but yeah.

371
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 4: I'll throw in another blue jersey. The Wizard's Ugly Blues.

372
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 4: A guy played in them, Michael Ruffin. Every year around

373
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 4: March or so, the it's the anniversary of the ridiculous

374
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 4: play where in two thousand and seven Raptors Wizards whiz

375
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 4: up three time ticking down. The buzzer is gonna go

376
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 4: off or Michael Ruffin can just hold the thing and

377
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 4: get fouled. But instead he throws it up into the air,

378
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 4: not high enough for the buzzer to go off, just

379
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 4: low enough for another guy to catch it, Morris Peterson,

380
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: and fire it in from like thirty five forty fat

381
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 4: an inexplicable move by Michael Ruffin. That's what I remember

382
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 4: Michael Ruffin for. And going through this, I went back

383
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 4: and I saw Gilbert Arenas, who was a teammate of his,

384
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 4: and his quote on the play. He said, quote, how

385
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 4: does the strongest man on the floor at that time

386
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 4: throw it five inches? All he had to do was

387
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 4: hold the ball and they foul him. How does he

388
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 4: throw the ball after all them push ups in whatever

389
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 4: he did in the weight room. Pretty funny quote there.

390
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: Thanks yeah about.

391
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 4: A memorable memorable oh mo people.

392
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, absolutely, I'll go with a former Raptors player,

393
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: though he was definitely a journeyman. He played on a

394
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: lot of teams, and I think he came to mind

395
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: because there's another version of this guy in the league

396
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: right now, Mike James. We had a James in the league,

397
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about the old Mike James, who had

398
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: like this weirdly great season for the Raptors where he

399
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: scored over twenty points per game. And we're not talking

400
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: in like twenty thirty games played the entire season for

401
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: the Raps, you know, missed a handful that started seventy

402
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: nine games and was a twenty point per game scorer,

403
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: and you know, it was like pretty lights out from

404
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: three point Land if I remember. And that is just

405
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: really really weird. But he played for a bunch of teams.

406
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: I know he left at one point, went and played

407
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: international ball and sort of came back and had a

408
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: cup of coffee with like your bulls tray, and then

409
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: I think he played for the Mavericks two and stuff

410
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: like that.

411
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: So I'll just go Mike James.

412
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: He just comes up a lot again, sort of helped

413
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: out by the fact that there's another Mike James playing

414
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: on the nets right now.

415
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: I'll be honest.

416
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: When I saw it the first time, I was like,

417
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: no way, that can't be, Like you're kidding me, Like

418
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: this guy loves Basketball's like Jamal Crawford type. It was

419
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: like he's back in the league. But no, the younger

420
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: Mike James. But both little little pit bull type guys.

421
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: So there's some similarities, I guess. But what a magical

422
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: season that was. Test Mike James was the best player

423
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 1: on the squad.

424
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I felt like that he was on the team

425
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 4: for like five, six, seven years with the amount he set.

426
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 2: Us back played one year.

427
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I felt like he was there for It was

428
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 4: literally one year. That's weird. Next email here, Hi not Dunkers.

429
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 4: I grew up a Blazers fan, and I remember in

430
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 4: the early eighties in the Jim Paxson era, Yes, that

431
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 4: was the thing. We had a sensation by the name

432
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 4: of Billy ray Bates. He was a jeerbug, high flying

433
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 4: fireball explosion. He was Sean Kemp mixed with Charles Barkley.

434
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 4: But his NBA light faded fast and soon he was

435
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 4: out of the league. Do you all remember legendary players

436
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 4: from your favorite teams whose light went out too fast?

437
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 4: For anyone outside of local coverage to really remember, really

438
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 4: remember that's from James in Portland. Oh we're talking old

439
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 4: raps here.

440
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: I got a feeling you're gonna pick the same guy

441
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: as maybe me.

442
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 4: But go ahead, Okay, let's let's say his first name

443
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 4: on three one two three ke Keon.

444
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: Good for a year and a half the Raptors and

445
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: then yeah he was gone, but you go ahead.

446
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 4: He was gone, right, No, he was. He was definitely

447
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 4: one of them. He was. He was before his time.

448
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 4: I don't know why he was before his time. He

449
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 4: was just good.

450
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 5: I mean he used to shoot the three a bit though,

451
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 5: didn't he as well? Like that for me going not well,

452
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 5: but but he sort of yeah, he sort of shut

453
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 5: it was he was.

454
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: He was like obviously a lanky, explosive big guy. It

455
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: was light on his feet. Yeah, he was in applauding center.

456
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: He has the record still, I think for the Raptors

457
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: franchise record for blocks in a game, which I still

458
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: believe is twelve.

459
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that's been beaten.

460
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, twelve, Yeah, the game. And maybe it was before

461
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 4: his time because he invented the trunk. He had a

462
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: he had a huge trunk any of those those highlight

463
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 4: reels from the early Raptor days, which I can't believe

464
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 4: Ken Clark was only there for one year because he

465
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 4: sort of left an imprint on my brain the way

466
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 4: he don't know. He's just a pretty unique, really really

467
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 4: thin six eleven guy that was superuper athletic, and it's

468
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 4: it's wild to think he was out of the league

469
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 4: by twenty nine. And yeah, he kind of around a

470
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 4: little bit, only one year with the Reps, but yeah,

471
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 4: he was. He's the first guy for me. And another

472
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 4: guy is Charon Right, who I thought was gonna be good.

473
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 4: He was like he was just he was a beefy

474
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 4: man number six pick in ninety four out of Clemson.

475
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 4: The Sixers traded him after a year and a half

476
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 4: to the Raps. I think he had some some weight issues,

477
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 4: but then he had a car accident in the off season.

478
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 4: He was on the way to a clinic and a

479
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 4: basketball clinic, and then he was never the same. He

480
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 4: tried to come back, but I've you know, back in

481
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 4: the post days, I was just a fan of Charon

482
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 4: Right in the way he can move those toutsies. So yeah,

483
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 4: two different dudes for me, But a decade, not a

484
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 4: decade apart, but years apart. I thought could be could

485
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 4: be really good. Charon right, great name too, Keon Clark,

486
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 4: great name too.

487
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: It's a great name. He was good, though, man, And

488
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: that one, yeah, because he played like basically a year

489
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: and a half because he came over in a trade.

490
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: Then he played a full season for sure for the Reps,

491
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: and it does feel like he was there a lot

492
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: longer too. But he was a respectable like eleven and eight,

493
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: like a block and a half a game, and he

494
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: played even better if you remember task in the playoffs.

495
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: He was really good versus the Pistons in that five

496
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: game series loss. He put up nineteen and sixteen in

497
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: a Game four, like a must win game four to

498
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: give us a Game five and a chance at trying

499
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: to get past the first round of the Pistons there.

500
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: But he played really good in Game five too. He

501
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: obviously came up short, but he was damn good. And

502
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: then yeah, flamed out of the league, had a lot

503
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: of issues after the league. He went to prison for

504
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: a while for at least a couple of years. I

505
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: believe he's out now. I think he's an Illinois boy.

506
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 3: Isn't he exactly right? He was gonna be one of

507
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: my answers for a question later. He played on the

508
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 3: same high school team as my cousin were from the

509
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 3: same hometown, actually, Keon Clark shout out Danville, Illinois. Yeah

510
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: he was great. He was a good player, really good player.

511
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 3: And then yeah, he fell off because of the off

512
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 3: court issues.

513
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, yep, Lee, do you have an answer, Well, mine's

514
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 5: actually similar and similar in the way that this guy

515
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 5: just burst onto the scene, but then his career got

516
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 5: deryl because of off issues. And that's Richard Dumas the Phoenix.

517
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 5: One season in Phoenix there was incredible and then in

518
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 5: the playoffs, in the finals against the Bulls, he was

519
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 5: almost the son second best player there. He put up

520
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 5: some really big numbers and you know, but he had

521
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 5: some substance issues and was out of the league for

522
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 5: I think the following season, and then he sort of

523
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 5: did come back, but you know, he just was sort

524
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 5: of couldn't couldn't quite get back there. But I just

525
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 5: remember in that final, was like how incredible he was,

526
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 5: and I was like, man, this guy is a legit

527
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 5: star and they picked him up. I think he was

528
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 5: a mature age rookie when he did play there in Phoenix,

529
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 5: but that was it. He basically had one decent season

530
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 5: in the NBA, one really good I think he made

531
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 5: an All Rookie team, but he just couldn't quite, you know,

532
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 5: sort of keep his life together off the court, and

533
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 5: that ended up costing him what would have been I

534
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 5: think a pretty decent NBA career.

535
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: M I remember I had his rookie Corde that was

536
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: around the time that I was in the Cards. That

537
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: was like one of my prize possessions. I loved him

538
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: as a player. I was like, this guy's amazing, this

539
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: guy's be so good. And then yeah, I didn't check

540
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: the Beckett on that one. On the Richard Dumas card.

541
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: I can't imagine it's going for a while nowadays. But anyway,

542
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: that's a great answer, Entray, Do you have one?

543
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben Gordon. He was the original CJ. McCollum basically

544
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 3: for the Bulls back in the day. Drafted number three,

545
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 3: which is something I kind of had forgotten by the

546
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: Bulls in four, made the All Rookie Team sixth Man

547
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 3: of the Year in his first season, the only player

548
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 3: to win that as a rookie Bulls went to the

549
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 3: playoffs for the first time since ninety eight. He was

550
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 3: really good for the Bulls, kind of putting them back

551
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 3: on the map for the first time after the Dynasty era,

552
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 3: eighteen and a half points per game forty one point

553
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 3: five percent from three point. He was an early step

554
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 3: back jumper practitioner. He invented. He's kind of credited as

555
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 3: the guy who invented the high hands fake, where you're

556
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 3: dribbling it looks like you're gonna shoot it, and then

557
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 3: suddenly you're taking off somewhere else for a shot. I

558
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 3: would be curious to see what Steph Curry thinks of

559
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 3: Ben Gordon, because he's got a lot of Ben Gordon

560
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 3: moves deep in the bag. But the Bulls struggled in

561
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 3: the seven eight season. They had that huge lottery bump

562
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: to draft Derreck Rose number one in eight, which meant

563
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 3: that time was limited in Chicago for Ben Gordon. He's

564
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: one of the rare guys to sign a qualifying offer

565
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: prior to his fifth season. He bawled out twenty points

566
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 3: per game in eight oh nine forty one from three.

567
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: Signed with the Pistons after that, and it was pretty

568
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 3: much a disaster. Never got higher than fourteen a game

569
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 3: with Detroit, though he did score the ten millionth point

570
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 3: in NBA history. That's a thing. Anyways, three seasons in

571
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: Detroit for Ben Gordon, two with the Bobcats, one for Orlando,

572
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 3: and then he was gone. And much like these other

573
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 3: guys you have mentioned, he has had off court issues

574
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 3: as well since leaving the NBA.

575
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: Did he ever.

576
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: Play for the United Kingdom in any international play or no?

577
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 2: I know he was eligible.

578
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if he did.

579
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was eligible, right, yeah, yeah, I

580
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: think that is right, But I don't know if he played.

581
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: Maybe some in the stream team can let us know.

582
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: Great answer, That was a fun question. Good one, James,

583
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: good stuff, and I saw the stream team dropping some

584
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: great answers as well. Keep it up, guys, all right,

585
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: next one though, Hey, no Dunk's crew. As a Kings fan,

586
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: this season has been a rollercoaster of a ride. But

587
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: nothing hurt more than when I would tune in to

588
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: a good old Classic after a Kings win and hear

589
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: Trey shoot down Skeet's excitement for my team to make

590
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: things worse.

591
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 2: It turned out that Trey was right.

592
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: Kings still suck, but as the universe would have it,

593
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: And the weeks went by and the bulls suffered loss

594
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: after a loss. I listened with a joy to hear

595
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: Trey officially announced that the bulls are.

596
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 2: Officially not back.

597
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: I let out a maniacal laugh and thought to myself,

598
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: damn it, Tray, you asked for this one. My question,

599
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: when was the time you felt no remorse for somebody

600
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: and it didn't even feel bad? Turn up love you guys,

601
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: be a b Yeah, bulls are not back. That is

602
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: from Forest in La. My answer to this is short

603
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: and sweet and to the point. I didn't feel remorse

604
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: at all and didn't feel bad at all. When Trump

605
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: got COVID, I was like, that's interesting. Oh so that's

606
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: my answer. Did I celebrate it? Maybe no, but I

607
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: sure felt no remorse for that news breaking. So Leli,

608
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: you got an answer.

609
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 5: Ah, yeah, that's a great one. I don't know if

610
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 5: I could top that one. Mine's a little deeper, a

611
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 5: bit of a longer story, going back to the days

612
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 5: when I used to work in a hotel in London

613
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 5: and worked in the in the four yer bar there,

614
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 5: and we used to have freemasons come in and they

615
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 5: would meet there and the new recruits would always have

616
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 5: to sort of buy the drinks to sort of you know,

617
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 5: start the night off, and they had a tendency to

618
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 5: be very rude to the bar staff. And you know,

619
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 5: often in Europe and Britain is you don't run up

620
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 5: a tab. You sort of pay for your drinks as

621
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 5: you order them. But in this instance, because there were

622
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 5: so many other guys coming in, they would run up

623
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 5: a bit of a tab. And this guy often happened.

624
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 5: But I remember one guy in particularly was exceptionally rude

625
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 5: one night, and so as he was ordering drinks I

626
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 5: just decided to add a few extras to his tab,

627
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 5: and by the time he actually got his bill, it

628
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 5: was significantly more than what he had ordered. And he

629
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 5: was very embarrassed because he didn't want to look cheap,

630
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 5: but he also didn't want to pay the bill. And

631
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm happy to talk you through. But

632
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 5: they had to go off their dinnery meeting thing as well,

633
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 5: and we can go through the bill one by one

634
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 5: of it, and he was just fuming, but he didn't

635
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 5: want to show that in front of the new potential

636
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 5: you know, team that he was about to join.

637
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: Wow.

638
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, And so so he was there and he's like, well,

639
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 5: you know this person, that person. I said, yeah, this

640
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 5: is the bill man, this is the bill here. If

641
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 5: you don't want to pay it, you don't have to.

642
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 5: I'll just go and get the manager and you guys

643
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 5: can talk it over like. And he's like, no, no, no,

644
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 5: I'll pay it. I'll pay it, but I'll I'll talk

645
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 5: to him afterward. You know, he was he was trying

646
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 5: to say face there, and it was just like, if

647
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 5: you weren't so rude to me, you probably wouldn't have

648
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 5: had to pay for about another fifty drinks on top

649
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 5: of what you already ordered. Anyway, he ended up paying.

650
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 5: He did not like me. He didn't leave a tip,

651
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,959
Speaker 5: but I like to think he tipped the hotel for

652
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 5: the service instead. So yeah, I was happy to just

653
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 5: get that one over him. And you know, just don't

654
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 5: be rude to the waiting stuff or the or the

655
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 5: bar stuff. And it might have happened to you.

656
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: That's a good you know, lafe tip there. How many

657
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: drinks did you actually add though you didn't have fifty?

658
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: It was.

659
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, like his bill would have been close

660
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 5: to like he was probably expecting about one hundred pounds,

661
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 5: and I'm telling you it was well over two hundred pounds,

662
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 5: which is a lot when you're paying only two pounds

663
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 5: fifty for a pint at the time, you know, two

664
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 5: or three pounds, So.

665
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 2: For every drink, you were just adding another one.

666
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 5: At one point, I was just like bing bing bing

667
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 5: bing bing bing bing like this because he was because

668
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 5: he was he was that guy. He was doing the

669
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 5: like other people were at the bar and he was

670
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 5: trying to sort of talk over them to get drinks

671
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 5: and stuff like that. And I'm like, there's other people here.

672
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 5: You don't you know, you don't know. They're not even

673
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 5: staying in the hotel as well. They were just like

674
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 5: renting one of the rooms at the back. So and

675
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 5: I just knew as well, like the management of that

676
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 5: hotel were just awful, so they wouldn't have had any

677
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 5: idea what was going on. And you know, I just

678
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 5: had a little bit of fun with him, and I

679
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 5: knew he wasn't going to tip me, so I was like,

680
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 5: you're paying one way or the other to me, or

681
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 5: you give the money to the hotel, whichever you choose,

682
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 5: I'll choose for you.

683
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: Hey, nothing free about these drinks. Mason said that while

684
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: he was walking out the door. Have an answer to this.

685
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 4: Uh, well, yeah, when I broke my leg, I broke

686
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 4: the old femur. When I fell my one leg, the

687
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 4: broken leg was supported by the other one because I

688
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 4: was on my side, so the the broken leg was

689
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 4: on top. And I was laying there waiting for the

690
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 4: ambulance to come, and there was one guy who were

691
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 4: playing with that continuously told me, you gotta get on

692
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 4: your back. You gotta get on your back. We got

693
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 4: to see the you gotta see your like we got.

694
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 4: You gotta get on your back. And I said, I literally,

695
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 4: I can't like my leg is in two pieces and

696
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,239
Speaker 4: it's being supported by the other one like I just

697
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 4: I it doesn't work. I can't like it's I literally

698
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 4: like I carry my head. And he just because the

699
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 4: ambulance took so long, he had a lot of opportunity

700
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 4: to bug the crap out of me while I was

701
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 4: on the ground. And so at one point I said,

702
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 4: all right, I'll like I tried. I tried multiple times,

703
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 4: and I I got like a little bit further the

704
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 4: one the one time when I finally gave it my

705
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 4: all for whatever, stupid reason he wanted me to. He

706
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 4: wanted to examine me. He's not a medical doctor. But anyways,

707
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 4: I yelled out in pain. I had never been in

708
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 4: more pain, and uh so I was pretty pissed. So, yeah, know,

709
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: I got all short up, all good, you know. Months

710
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 4: months months later, got back on the ball field, and

711
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 4: then that same guy got injured pretty badly. It was

712
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 4: probably it was probably an ACLU, but I didn't feel

713
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 4: any remorse whatsoever seeing it happen. I mean, we weren't

714
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 4: the best of buds. And yeah, he caused me serious pain,

715
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 4: probably twelve months earlier.

716
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: So anyway, did you tell him to get on his back?

717
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 4: No, No, I said, I'll call the ambulance, because that's

718
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 4: what you should do. Yeah, shouldn't tell me to get

719
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 4: on your back, non professional practicing doctor.

720
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, TK, what's your answer to this one?

721
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 3: My answer for this one is Lee eating the hot

722
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: peppers for a pick and payoff, no remorse because of

723
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 3: the confidence he went into this pick and payoff. Hot peppers. Oh,

724
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 3: they were hot. They were hot. We all tried them,

725
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 3: you know. Probably towards the end of the show, the

726
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 3: last few minutes, I was an instant sweatfest. As I

727
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 3: am anytime I put a spicy food near my body.

728
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 3: But man, when the peppers are so hot that lee

729
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 3: was like dry heaving and uncontrollably hiccupping. I just thought

730
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 3: it was hilarious because you know, what's not gonna last forever.

731
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not gonna be permanent, damn it. But

732
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 3: oh it's brutal when you're going through it, but it's

733
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 3: hilarious when you're seeing one of your buddies go through.

734
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 5: It and you think water is gonna help, but it doesn't. Know,

735
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 5: You've gotta You've got to sort of not even drink

736
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 5: the milk, just have it in your mouth to try

737
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 5: to cool it down. But it's hard to just sort

738
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 5: of let it sit in your mouth there like that.

739
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 5: Ah yeah, man, that was It was like hallucinogenic almost

740
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 5: in that sense, because it just, oh you just feel

741
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 5: your body's just like what the hell is going on

742
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 5: in here? But uh, yeah, that was fun one. Actually,

743
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 5: I yeah, I.

744
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: Thought you were gonna go with the other one, the

745
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: pick and payoff where he had to eat something, and

746
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: I felt no remorse. It was the banana challenge. And

747
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: the reason I had no remorse is because this guy

748
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: said he had swear four bananas in the morning before

749
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: a day he knew he was gonna have to eat like.

750
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 2: Ten bananas on the show. That's what you said. You

751
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: said you eat three.

752
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 5: But no, no, I definitely ate three in the morning off.

753
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 5: But I don't think I knew that was I think

754
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 5: you did, because I'm not sure. But yeah, when I

755
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 5: when I saw them coming out, I was like, oh, yeah,

756
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 5: I had three. I remember. I remember being banana hungover

757
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 5: for like three days after that, just not having a banana,

758
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 5: and I thought, I wonder if this is gonna like

759
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 5: put me off bananas, but oh got me back in

760
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 5: the end.

761
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: But that clip is up on our noduct YouTube page

762
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: of Certified Classic, and I did title it Banana Man

763
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: eats a dozen bananas or twelve bananas. And people were

764
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: upset because they're like, in the clip, you don't eat

765
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: twelve bananas, you eat night. But then I say in

766
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: the comments, he did eat three the morning, so he

767
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: sort of did. It doesn't sounds funnier the night.

768
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 5: A few people go ahead, just gonna say. A few

769
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 5: people message me after that saying watch out for your

770
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 5: potassium intake.

00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 2: You know, beus just laugh, sit off bananas for dessert

772
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 2: that day.

773
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna not feel remorse for when

774
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 4: Lee had to eat fast.

775
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 2: Food that one too. Yeah, he put us a wetsuit on.

776
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: What about that one?

777
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 4: Well, we ate the fast food. Didn't you eat like

778
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,479
Speaker 4: a steak? JD's gotta chime in on this one. Didn't

779
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 4: you like a steak? That morning?

780
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 6: It was the it was the poutine eating contest, and.

781
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 4: Oh, that's what he is.

782
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 6: He knew that he was gonna have to eat an

783
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 6: entire thing of poutine. And I look over at him

784
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 6: less than an hour before going on it, like forty

785
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 6: five minutes, and that he hadn't even start. He was

786
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 6: ordering this thing. I'll take a jumbo steak. Meetiums like,

787
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 6: what are you doing?

788
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: Man?

789
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 6: Like it was And then of course during the contest,

790
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 6: he's like, takes a few bites and then he just

791
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 6: pushes the pushes the done. It's like he had no

792
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 6: intention of participating in that at all.

793
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I because the lady came around with the

794
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 5: menus and the steak was like forty five dollars and

795
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 5: I'm like, I mean we allowed to waters.

796
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: I was there.

797
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 2: I remember this so vividly.

798
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: You were ordering us going, you know, we're about to

799
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: eat a bunch of poutine, Like the whole is to

800
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: like try and chow it down.

801
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, but you know, you know when you're hungry,

802
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 5: it's like, I know that this probably will cost me

803
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 5: later on, but I can't wait that long. I've got

804
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 5: to bridge the gap here. It's just I'll eat the

805
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 5: steak first and I'll deal with the fries and the

806
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 5: gravy and stuff later on. But I also knew you

807
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 5: guys were also eating the poutines. I was like, I

808
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 5: can slip.

809
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 3: Put in that category turnovers in Fantasy. The one thing

810
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 3: I remember from that poutine challenge wasn't the poutine like

811
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 3: a million degrees, like the.

812
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 2: Hardest of all time?

813
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 3: It was possible, I think.

814
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 5: I think that was actually when we're in the wrap

815
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 5: in Toronto for Game five of the finals, and remember

816
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 5: then and the raptor came out and he brought the

817
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 5: proutine was piping hot because he poured the gravy on it.

818
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 5: Remember we were eating it on TV.

819
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: That's what I remember, because we eat poutine on live

820
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: television twice that.

821
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: Clip.

822
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 5: We are like, were like great poutinecause it's raining, it's fun,

823
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 5: and it's.

824
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 4: Like, I couldn't the Raptor that. You couldn't deny the

825
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 4: Raptor mascot coming out with pooutine on TV. So you

826
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 4: had to just suffer through some paper and heart gravy.

827
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: He poured it, he poured it out.

828
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were on that little tent and that right. Yeah,

829
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: it was like one of our last I think we.

830
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 5: Sort of had some idea he was going to do something,

831
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 5: but I don't think we knew it was that. And

832
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 5: it was like when it was there, it was perfect.

833
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 5: That's a bit of a cold day food. And then

834
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 5: it was just like you're eating well, oh I hate

835
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 5: the burnt topic.

836
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: It's like you're just rubbing your tongue a lot. All right, great,

837
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: great questions here. That's an awesome batch. It's like a

838
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 1: good batch of poutine. These questions we got the curt Well,

839
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't eat it for a third time

840
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: on TV. But there is a clip of me asking

841
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: Chuck Swirski what goes in the poutine to test his

842
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: Canadian ness. So we talked about poutine a lot on

843
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: this show. I just watched that clip. Somebody shared it

844
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: with me. The other day and uh, chuck like he

845
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: knows the answer, but he's like really weird about it,

846
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: and he says the first two things a lot of No.

847
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: No, he didn't make that joke. I forget about how

848
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: he said it.

849
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: I think he just said, well, you got the Kurds

850
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: and then you got the great I think yeah, and

851
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: then and then he goes, yeah French Fries, all.

852
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 4: Right, next one. Hey, no, gunks. We all remember random

853
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 4: players for relatively personal reasons. One of mine is Andrew Bidam,

854
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 4: the first player in NBA history to be younger than me.

855
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 4: Of course, now the majority of the league is younger

856
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 4: than I am, but at the time, the fact that

857
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 4: someone younger than me was in the league seems so weird.

858
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 4: For that reason, I've always felt connected to buying them anyway.

859
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 4: What about you, guys, do you remember the first time

860
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 4: someone younger than you played in the NBA or any

861
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 4: other weird, weird reason why you feel a personal connection

862
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 4: to a certain player. Thanks for the great work that's

863
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 4: from Nicholas in Quebec City League. What do you think

864
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 4: you know?

865
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 5: There's been a fair few sort of the next Jordan's

866
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 5: coming through over the years, and one of them. I

867
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 5: remember was a young player by the name of Kobe

868
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 5: Bryant and I was twenty when he was drafted. He

869
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 5: was eighteen, and someone said, oh, this guy is the

870
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 5: next Jordan, and I'm like, ah, we've heard that before.

871
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 5: But for some reason, that one sort of did stick

872
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 5: around a little bit more. But again, because I was

873
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 5: twenty and he was eight in I was like, man,

874
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 5: when I was twelve, I was going to the NBA.

875
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 5: Here I am at twenty, I'm pretty much almost retired

876
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 5: from playing basketball myself, and there's an eighteen year old

877
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 5: kid just coming through to play in the NBA. Let's

878
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 5: see if he lives up to it. Well he did

879
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 5: alright for his career, but really for me, it became

880
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,439
Speaker 5: more of a thing when we were at Summer League

881
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 5: in Vegas and we would get some of those guys on,

882
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 5: some of the rookies who were like nineteen years old

883
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 5: or twenty years old, and you know, up close, a

884
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 5: lot of them hadn't even really like shaved, and that

885
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 5: they had this cleanest, freshest face, And here we were

886
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 5: sitting there. I was like, man, I feel old sometimes,

887
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 5: especially guy like Zack Lavine. I remember when he came

888
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 5: on and he looked just like a little kid up there,

889
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 5: and I was like, wow, man, I mean, you know,

890
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 5: I was sort of late thirties, I guess when we

891
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 5: were out there in Vegas, and that to me was

892
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 5: when I was like, man, it just passed me by.

893
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 5: I always held out hope that maybe I could break

894
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 5: into the NBA, but it wasn't gonna happen. But then

895
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 5: seeing those young kids with their fresh faces, and I

896
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 5: was like, this is so daunting, you know, to be

897
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 5: you know, like such a great talent you're in the

898
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 5: en BA, but just having lived that life as well,

899
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 5: sort of your twenties and thirties, Like, man, they got

900
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 5: so much life to live here, these guys, they got

901
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 5: so much putin. Yeah, and they just just look like tiny,

902
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 5: young little babies out there, and you know that's what

903
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 5: you know, I know, that was the other It'll be

904
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 5: just just you know, when the cameras are on. Sometimes

905
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 5: those guys were great before we went live, but once

906
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 5: the cameras are rolling and stuff, you could see a

907
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 5: couple of them two a little bit intimidated by the

908
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 5: atmosphere of the crowd and being on TV and stuff.

909
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 5: Who was someone was texting their mum. I think before

910
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 5: they were coming on and saying I'm going to be

911
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 5: on TV, that might have been Zach Lavine actually, but

912
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 5: you know, it just it just sort of really hit

913
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 5: home more of being right next to these guys on

914
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 5: TV and just seeing how young they still looked.

915
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll jump in with a guy whose birthday is

916
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 4: close to me. You were a month apart. So I

917
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 4: just always connected myself to Jose called her own. I

918
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 4: guess he was hanging around, you know, the NBA for

919
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 4: a long time in his thirties. I was trying to

920
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 4: hang around, not make the NBA likely, but just hang

921
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 4: around athletically, and so yeah, I think I always connect

922
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 4: myself to him because we're really close, and Beyonce as well,

923
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 4: because we were both all three of us were born

924
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 4: in the same year, about a month apart. So me,

925
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 4: me backed and.

926
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: Jose and Jose gool DK what's your answer?

927
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 3: Devin Harris is actually one for me because Laura was

928
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 3: in like class groups with him when they went to

929
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 3: school together at University of Wisconsin. So this is a

930
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 3: Devin Harris household. And also all of the high school

931
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 3: guys in the two thousand and one NBA Draft. This

932
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 3: was not the first high school draft, but it was

933
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 3: the first one that had a high school player go

934
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 3: number one. That was Kwame Brown and coming in this

935
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 3: was like, this is going to be the class. This

936
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 3: is what we've been building towards being able to draft

937
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 3: all these guys out of high school. That was my

938
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 3: same year I graduated high school. Class of one. We

939
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 3: were a hype man. Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, Eddie Curry

940
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 3: designed a jop, huge names. These guys are all going

941
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 3: to be stars. Didn't quite end up that way, didn't

942
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 3: quite go according to plan. I guess of all those guys,

943
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 3: Tyson Chandler, I had the best career of all those

944
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 3: high school guys. But from a standpoint of players in

945
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 3: the one draft, who had the best career and didn't

946
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 3: attend college, gotta be Tony Parker way down there in

947
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 3: the second round. Had an incredible career. He's going to

948
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 3: be a Hall of Famer, where all those high school

949
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 3: guys not so much.

950
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's funny you said, Tony Parker. That might

951
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 1: be my weird connection. Being the first NBA athlete star

952
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: that we ever interviewed, way back as the basketball Jones

953
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: in a subway sandwich shop down in Phoenix. But I

954
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: also have a strange personal connection to a guy I've

955
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: never met, but you have Lee clip.

956
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 3: I like you.

957
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 5: It made me feel good, Johnny.

958
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 2: There's something I love about that.

959
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: Again, I've never even met Johnny Flynn, but I think

960
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: that's how I felt when I first met Lee.

961
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: Ellis explained it. I'm laughing, what the hell they do say?

962
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 2: I like you so.

963
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: That I'm going with Johnny Flynn even though I I

964
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: know we just played that recently, but I love that

965
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 1: clip so much.

966
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wish he'd stuck around in the league, Johnny,

967
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 5: because maybe he could have been my guy, you know that. Yeah,

968
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 5: he went to play for Melbourne too, so we got

969
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 5: a bit of a connection there.

970
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

971
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 3: What did you say to him that made him feel good?

972
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 5: I think I remember saying something about his speed being

973
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 5: like Usain Bolt.

974
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's compliment in the world.

975
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 5: There might yeah, there might be. I wonder if that

976
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 5: clip is out there somewhere. The whole thing I can't remember,

977
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 5: but it was something like that.

978
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: It was definitely like every single photo you've ever taken,

979
00:45:58,760 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: you must yourself.

980
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 5: But I had I had a drive from the Score

981
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 5: and a Fried somehow, so I lost so much of it, unfortunately,

982
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 5: but it might be at this I'll see if I

983
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 5: can dig it up.

984
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, let's see at that clip up.

985
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever even seen that full clip.

986
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 2: Oh I don't know.

987
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because hold on, was that clip

988
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: for the Basketball Jones or that was like you at.

989
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:26,720
Speaker 2: The score doing something else?

990
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 4: Was he at the score?

991
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 5: Was that the score?

992
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: It was?

993
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 2: It was the Basketball Jones.

994
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't like we I think it was.

995
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 6: I think it was one of those times where we

996
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 6: gave Lee a couple of questions to ask people over

997
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 6: a few weeks kind of thing every time it was

998
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 6: down there. So so you may have been interviewing him

999
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 6: separately and then he attacked on our questions.

1000
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 4: Is that ye possible?

1001
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, definitely, because I did like that Hollywood thing

1002
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 5: and then I did the super Bowl thing, so it

1003
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 5: was more likely that he was in one of those. Yeah.

1004
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I'd love to make that a certified classic

1005
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: if we can, so try try and find that. Maybe

1006
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: Dicky has it in the basement. Okay, a couple more

1007
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:14,479
Speaker 1: questions here, I'll go next.

1008
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 2: What's up? Peeps.

1009
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: So a few weeks ago I had to do my

1010
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: military service required for all Taiwanese citizens. While I was

1011
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: in the army, I wasn't allowed to use my phone much,

1012
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: which means I couldn't listen to the Not Dunks podcast.

1013
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: On the day I finished my time in the army,

1014
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: I didn't wait a second. I turned on a classic

1015
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: the moment I got on the bus for the way

1016
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: home after two weeks of not listening to the podcast,

1017
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: that moment was glorious, like a cup of coffee in

1018
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: the morning. So here's my question. What was a time

1019
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: y'all had a similar feeling when you got to do

1020
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: something you weren't able to do for a while.

1021
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 2: This is from.

1022
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: Peter, of course in Taiwan. Shout out to Peter TK

1023
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: get us started skates.

1024
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 3: I love Opening day, sun Ah, the grasses vibrant, the

1025
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 3: boys are all buzzing. I'm talking, of course, about the

1026
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 3: first spike Ball game of spring. No good to finally

1027
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 3: get out there over the weekend. A little rusty, no

1028
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 3: doubt about it. By the end of a couple of hours,

1029
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 3: we're dropping cute Steves and Grizzlies and big boppers. Before

1030
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 3: you know what the bud MUDs squishing between your toes

1031
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 3: were destroying Grisha's lawn. Oh, glorious stuff. Spikeball season is

1032
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 3: upon us finally.

1033
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was nice to get out there.

1034
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: I was sore for two days.

1035
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie man totally.

1036
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: You know you're getting old when you're sore after playing

1037
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: spike ball for two days. Tess, I don't know. You

1038
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: said you were feeling it a little bit.

1039
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 4: I guess well, the uneven ground on Gricio's grass got

1040
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 4: my ankles a little bit. I just got all the

1041
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 4: dirt out of all the crevices of my feet, like tall. Look,

1042
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 4: it took forever. It's under nails under. But man, you can't.

1043
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 4: You can't wear shoes.

1044
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: No, those barefoot rules. That's h that's truly. When spikes

1045
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: season started, yeah there was talk, but people were in cleats,

1046
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:06,439
Speaker 1: but no kill each other. All right, Lee, you go next?

1047
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: What's your answer?

1048
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I went up to the outdoor court just

1049
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 5: up the road from my place not too long ago,

1050
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 5: because the hoops are back up and I've been shooting

1051
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 5: on a small hoop with a small ball mini ball

1052
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 5: now for over a year. So getting the big ball

1053
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 5: back in your hands and shooting it like it felt weird.

1054
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 5: I had to sort of adjust again.

1055
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: You just started the free throw line as well.

1056
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 5: They're unforgiving. You've got to swish themwhere else you're just

1057
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 5: clunking them all afternoon. So but it definitely felt an

1058
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 5: adjustment was needed to have to shoot the sort of bigger,

1059
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 5: heavier ball again.

1060
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 3: And but it was great.

1061
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 5: Took the boys up there, we took the scooters up

1062
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 5: there as well, took the soccer ball. We just ran around.

1063
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 5: We had the whole court to ourselves. It was awesome.

1064
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 5: So just great to be back a little step closer

1065
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 5: to being able to play against just some other people

1066
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 5: on the court and having a game of basketball again.

1067
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: Right, so you just shine around. You didn't get into

1068
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 2: a one on one or a little shooting contest with anybody.

1069
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 5: No, there was no one else there. So so the

1070
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 5: boys were trying to shoot that little mini ball onto

1071
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 5: the big hoop. Obviously the nine year old did okay,

1072
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 5: the four year old was way too far out of

1073
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 5: his range. But just you know, seeing the hoops back

1074
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 5: up again, because when they went down, I was like, man,

1075
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 5: this is this is hot, isn't it to see when

1076
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 5: you got a coot there and you just can't go

1077
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 5: and shoot around even outdoors.

1078
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, we're back, We're back, baby, We're back. Task

1079
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 1: Gun answered, Well, sure.

1080
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 4: After we moved down here in twenty thirteen, down to Atlanta,

1081
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 4: I stopped playing softball. But a couple of years after

1082
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,879
Speaker 4: that I got back up north of the border. Got

1083
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 4: to put on the cleaves, got to put on the

1084
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 4: old glove, the old bat and glove. Yeah, I spit

1085
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,919
Speaker 4: on the hands, put some sunflower seeds in the mouth,

1086
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 4: and then just then just sit there while everybody else

1087
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 4: goes to bat, and you just sit there and play

1088
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 4: in the field more. You don't get the ball. Softball,

1089
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 4: you know, it's much you do about nothing. You just

1090
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 4: you get ready for it. Nothing happens out there. No,

1091
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 4: it was great. You know. I played softball, baseball basically

1092
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 4: every year in my life, so it was weird not

1093
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 4: playing for a while. And then I got some some

1094
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,960

1096
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 4: that day. That was a bad day down here. So

1097
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 4: they didn't invite me back that I just randomly parky.

1098
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a bad day.

1099
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: How are the seeds?

1100
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 5: How are the seeds?

1101
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 4: Salty?

00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 3: Salty?

1103
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 1: That's a cool jacket, man, give you that.

1104
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 2: That was awesome.

1105
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: You just do you wear that around just normally or only?

1106
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if it's nice. It's a classic baseball

1107
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 4: very classic puff puff you know, big puffy on the

1108
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 4: outside and then the elastic band on the waist. I

1109
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 4: like it, not gonna lie. You feel a little bit

1110
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 4: a little bit douchey wearing it, no doubt, Like I'm

1111
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 4: not necessarily on a team. I mean it is my

1112
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,000

1114
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 4: jacket from a long time ago.

1115
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, all right. I mean my answer is something

1116
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: that I might be doing soon and I haven't yet,

1117
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: And it is maybe going to a sporting event, thinking, thinking,

1118
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: thinking of going to a baseball game, maybe this weekend.

1119
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: I haven't got a ticket yet, but uh still not

00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 1: Like what's.

1121
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 5: The what's the bride's capacity yet? I think they might be.

1122
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,760
Speaker 1: I think they're over fifty percent. They might even be. Really,

1123
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Yeah, they were for a while. I know,

1124
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: I know, and you know you're feeling a little more confident.

1125
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,479
Speaker 1: Of course, double back stuf. You still got to, I believe,

1126
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: wear a masking that when you're not drinking or eating

1127
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,160

1128
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But well, I'm thinking it over. Maybe

1129
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: if the weather's nice there on a Friday night. Oh,

1130

Speaker 4: Maybe? Last one? Last one? Hey, guys, I was having

1159
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 4: lunch out the other day and I ordered some savice.

1160
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 4: As I was enjoying this marvelous dish, which is probably

1161
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 4: my favorite food. Can't help but laugh while reading this.

1162
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 4: I remember that Lee's wife, Roxanna, is from Peru, the

1163
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 4: country that invented this great dish. I felt so grateful

1164
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 4: that Peru exists and provided humanity with this tasty recipe.

1165
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 4: My question is simple and not basketball related. What's a

1166
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 4: food or beverage you love so much it made you

1167
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 4: grateful for the existence of the country it originated from?

1168
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 4: Love you, guys. That's from Mohammed Hassan. Can't wait to

1169
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 4: see a photo of Lee eating savice? Here we go.

1170
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 5: Oh no, I don't have a photo of that.

1171
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: Actually, yes, hold on, it was also invented in Peru,

1172
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 1: I believe, so, yes, yes, I know had the greatest

1173
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 1: savice you've ever had in prew. I didn't know it

1174
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: was created there at least.

1175
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I didn't even know it existed before

1176
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 5: I met Roxanna Rah. And then then it's kind of

1177
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 5: you know, because there's like corn and stuff in there

1178
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 5: and and silantron. I'm like, oh, I don't know, Bethy's.

1179
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 5: When it's done properly, it's incredible. But it's like it's

1180
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 5: see to me. You know. When you first sort of

1181
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 5: start backpacking, a lot of people say you can live off,

1182
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 5: you know, ten pounds a day or ten bucks a

1183
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 5: day in this country you only eat this and that.

1184
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 5: But eating is like one of the most amazing parts

1185
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 5: of the travel experience. Like you want to eat the

1186
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 5: local food and try their drinks and all that stuff.

1187
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:23,919
Speaker 5: So you never want to skimp on the food. You're

1188
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 5: just you know, when you're in a different countries, like

1189
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 5: just give me something that's local and it's great.

1190
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: Okay, what would you skimp on? Then if you are

1191
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: traveling because you are the internet, well.

1192
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I I've stayed in hostels where you stay with

1193
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 5: like twelve other people. Completely, it's incredible. What you actually do.

1194
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 5: You just leave. There's usually no safes and things like

1195
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 5: that of the room. It's just basically you put your

1196
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 5: passport under your pillow or or just in your bag

1197
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 5: and you just hope that other people won't steal it.

1198
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: I feel like that's changed maybe a little bit since

1199
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: you were traveling the globe.

1200
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 5: Yes, so, but I guess I remember in Scotland one

1201
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 5: time and I was just like, you know, like you

1202
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 5: just just all right, I'm out. You know, everyone sort

1203
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 5: of knows. Maybe it's that sort of mentality, like we're

1204
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 5: all in that same boat, but you're still trusting complete

1205
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 5: strangers to not just you know, steal your stuff. But

1206
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 5: you know, the French, we know, are famous for the

1207
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 5: s cargo, the snails. Yeah, but that sounds gross to

1208
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 5: eat snails. But I went a little one time, this

1209
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 5: place a couple of hours out of Paris with a

1210
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 5: friend and he was like, you've got to try the snails,

1211
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 5: and I'm just like, I don't know, I don't know.

1212
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 5: Went to this restaurant that he knew, and these snails

1213
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 5: were amazing, amazing.

1214
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,760
Speaker 2: Covered in butter, butter and garlic.

1215
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but not that gross, like you know, slippery.

1216
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 5: It's like octopus. If octopus is done properly, you know,

1217
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 5: it's not chewy and it's not tough, like it's pretty succulent.

1218
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 5: And these snails were and I remember just like because

1219
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 5: you just gorge on them as well after a while

1220
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 5: when you're drinking. I must have had thirty snails that

1221
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 5: day and it was just like wow, I can't believe

1222
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 5: if I was anti snail and now I'm pro snail.

1223
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 5: But I think outside of France, I don't think I

1224
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,399
Speaker 5: would eat snails. I just don't think so. So, but yeah,

1225
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 5: it's it's funny. It's funny like that. I mean, like

1226
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 5: if someone says, hey, I'm coming come over to my place,

1227
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 5: I'm cooking snails, I'll be like.

1228
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 2: Good, make them exactly like you just have them.

1229
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 5: I know, I know, but it just it just I mean,

1230
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 5: if they're experienced at making them, you know, maybe, but I.

1231
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: See like a resume or something, kitchens you've worked in

1232
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: corn disgusting snails.

1233
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 5: Okay, once you get started with them, though, I mean,

1234
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 5: it's just like, okay, they are good, and yes, sure

1235
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 5: you know, you know, you see the shell and everything,

1236
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 5: so it's not like they're like hidden in a rice

1237
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 5: dish or a pasta dish or anything like that. It's like,

1238
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 5: I'm just eating snails. But we've had a few crona

1239
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 5: bergs as well that day. So are you know.

1240
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,960

1241
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, thanks. I remember we had them in grade

1242
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: eight in French class.

1243
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:05,919
Speaker 2: I think we made them.

1244
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: Uh now, they probably weren't as good as your trip

1245
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: to France early, but I remember us doing that in

1246
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: class once with our French teacher. No, that's sort of strange.

1247
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure that I can'dn't believe that was legal somehow,

1248
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. Can you just straight up serve snails

1249
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: in a grade eight French class?

1250
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 3: Yes?

1251
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 4: So I dissected a worm in grade Yeah, probably we

00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 4: did a frog snails?

1253
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,520

1255
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 3: wouldn't eat snails outside of France, acclaim on par with

1256
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 3: Matt Austin once telling me that he was one of

1257
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 3: the first people in North America to eat brusketta. What

1258
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:54,919
Speaker 3: what we were growing tomatoes? I'm her garden. At first,

1259
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 3: he tells me I got garbage seeds. He's like, you're

1260
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 3: not getting good tomatoes here. There's no way you got

1261
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 3: to get your tomatoes from Europe. Okay, fine, I don't

1262
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 3: have a packet of seeds from somewhere else. I got

1263
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 3: one packet, buddy. And then he starts telling me that

1264
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 3: he thinks he's one of the first people to ever

1265
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 3: eat brescutta in North America. That's crazy stuff to me.

1266
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1267
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: I've heard him say this before. I don't know if

1268
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: it's a bit with him. I could never tell. Actually

1269
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: don't think it is. I think he truly believes it. Yeah,
