Speaker 1: a little bit of your time and man, enjoy this

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: spand with us. First off, I got an opportunity to

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: play in the Reggie Jackson Celebrity Softball Classy yesterday in

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: the historic Oakland Coliseem.

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 3: Great time.

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: Man.

19
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: They had obviously mister October, Reggie Jackson, Ricky Henderson, Barry Bonds,

20
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: jose canseco H. The list goes on of legendary guys.

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,279
Speaker 1: Dennis Eckersley, Quick Story, J T. Snow and Taro Owens

22
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: almost got in a fight first inning, you know, competitive

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: t o is and j T. Snow is playing first,

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: and someone threw the ball way over JT's head and

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: JT didn't chase that ship at all. He's like, I'm

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: come on, man, it's a celebrity game. So the right

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: fielder had to come get it. We got a triple

28
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: out of it, so to go.

29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: I didn't.

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: I didn't know if to was serious at first, but

31
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Ti I's like, what the fuck, why did you get it?

32
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: And they start going back and forth. You know me,

33
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm an ass, so I start gassing a little bit,

34
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: but I'm walking back to my side, so they really

35
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: starting to go at it. Two batters later, To at

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: shortstop gets the ball and throws it way over JT's head,

37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: way over JT's head, and JT, like half ass jogs

38
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: to go get it.

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: So I'm laughing.

40
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: They're like and then.

41
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: JT starts talking back to t O Karla's motherfuckers like

42
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: they're really going at it, so that the inning splits.

43
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: They go back in the in the day they had

44
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: to be separated. I'm over on the other side laugh

45
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, this is a charity game, but

46
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: these motherfuckers about to fight. I say all that to say,

47
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: our team won Jose Canseego hit the most home runs,

48
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: astronomical moonshots. But it got me thinking to a bigger

49
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: piece of Oakland history in what Oakland's kind of going

50
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: through right now. Man, In the last five years, the Oakland,

51
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: the city of Oakland, the town has lost the Raiders,

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: the Warriors, and now the Oakland A's. And as someone

53
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: who was born an hour from there in San Jose

54
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: and grew up an hour from there in Sacramento, Oakland

55
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: has been a kind of historical spot for sports. And

56
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, through those three teams, there's been ten championships,

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: starting in the early sixties and obviously as late as

58
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: now with the A's departing to Sacramento for a couple

59
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: of years before they finalized their situation in Vegas. But

60
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: as a sports fan, as someone who played in the Oracle,

61
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: this is a hard this is a hard situation.

62
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: You know.

63
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: And my brother Ray Young, who was with me yesterday,

64
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: grew up in Oakland, and although we had a great

65
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: time at the game, it was kind of bittersweet from

66
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: a standpoint of used to find the Warriors, the Raiders

67
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: in the Oakland A's all in the same parking lot

68
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: and whether the team was good or bad, the fan

69
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: base never waivered. Some of the best fans in the

70
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: world are from the Bay Area. Sending my love out

71
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: to the Bay Area, man, particularly Oakland. Something good has

72
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: got to be coming because a lot of bad shit

73
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: has been happening lately. I talked to the security guards

74
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: there that were there at the Oracle, and you know,

75
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: everyone's optimistic about what may come there or not. And

76
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: one of the guys like, you know, it doesn't matter

77
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: what chemistry, but the crime has to subside, like it's

78
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: just it's it's it's it's crazy out there right now.

79
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 4: Man.

80
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: So send a lot of love out to Oakland and

81
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: the Barrier in general, and man, something good to come

82
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: to you guys. Let me introduce one of my young homies,

83
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: one of my brothers, Trevor Resa.

84
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, shoot, young homie. Man, I'm down there forty.

85
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: But I'm about to be forty five. He's still my

86
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: young home.

87
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 4: I feel you though.

88
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

89
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: That's a big dog, all right.

90
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: So, trev we're a week in the NBA season. You know,

91
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: some teams have have come out the gate strong, some

92
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: teams have sputtered.

93
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: A little bit.

94
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but before we actually get into what's going on

95
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: in the NBA. I think we got uh, I think

96
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: we got the mail bag coming in.

97
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

98
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: Normally he has dope, but today today he has mail.

99
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

100
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So this first mail bag is to Joel Embiid

101
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: from Back to Backs.

102
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: Let's see what's happening.

103
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, dear Joel, I hear you're done with You're done

104
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: with me forever. I've had some long standing relationships with

105
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: your contemporaries. This is the first time I've ever been

106
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: told I'm ugly. Back to back seems a little salty

107
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe put down the Shirley Temple and hit

108
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: the track. Oh bag is out here tripping, with all

109
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: due respect, back to.

110
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 5: Back, back to back. One's get back, Trev.

111
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 3: Back to back death. He wants to get back, Trev.

112
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: I heard, you know, Joel NB came out very early

113
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: on a couple of weeks ago and said he will

114
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: not be playing in back to backs, not only this

115
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: season but forever. I think that rubbed a lot of

116
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: the older rog's the wrong way. You know, KG has

117
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: spoke on it at length. Shaq didn't like it. You

118
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: hear the rumblings on all the networks. What was your

119
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: thought when you heard Joel come out very early and

120
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: say that he's done with back to backs, and before

121
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: you go, so him not playing back to backs would

122
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: eliminate him from fifteen games off the rip. So fifteen

123
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: times they have back to backs, he wonn't play in those.

124
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: He's already sat out what two of the three first

125
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: three games they've had When you initially heard this statement,

126
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: what did you.

127
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 5: Think initially when I first heard that he's already backed

128
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 5: out of back to backs? It just where's your mental

129
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 5: toughness in first? How much do you let a game? Second?

130
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 5: And you know, what kind of message are you sending

131
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 5: to the people coming in? You know, where are you

132
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 5: taking our league? You know, as one of the best

133
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 5: players in our league, where are you taking this?

134
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: There's no question about how talented he is. I mean

135
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: his skill set, he's arguably one of the most skilled,

136
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: if not the most skilled big on the offensive end

137
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: we've ever seen, you know, played in the Olympics. But

138
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: the knock on him is he's never really been able

139
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: to get through a season. And you know, we've seen

140
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: this talent where he'll drop seventy or have a you know,

141
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: could have been possibly a two time MVP, a one

142
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: time MVP, but it always looks like he's almost dragging

143
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: the leg or playing on one leg. So I understand,

144
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: how do I preserve this? And do you guys, you

145
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: motherfuckers want it now or do you want in the playoffs?

146
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: I think regardless, people are gonna, you know, uh complain

147
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: and you know, you know whether their reasons are just

148
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: or not. But if I'm management, I'm thinking, well, obviously,

149
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: I want you to play as much as you can

150
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: during the season, but the most important part now is

151
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: we need you in the playoffs. You know, we add PG,

152
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: we add Caleb Martin. I think they have a pretty

153
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: solid roster. Resigned Kelly oubre Tyrese Maxey just dropped forty

154
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: five although on thirty seven shots, as you pointed out earlier,

155
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: what is your thought obviously.

156
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 4: On the shoot off?

157
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely every you know, you know the big guns are down,

158
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: but you know, can this team with Joelle not playing

159
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: in back to backs? Obviously, to this eliminates him from

160
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: all awards, right, he won't be able to make any

161
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: award MVP, Defense, offense, all NBA.

162
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: He will be eliminated.

163
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: But at this point in his career, what does he

164
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: make ten years in about Yeah, it's about ten years

165
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: in treving your opinion. I mean, did the accolades mean

166
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: short or now is championship or nothing?

167
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: Man?

168
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 5: I think again, as a competitor, you play the game

169
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 5: to do all of those things the other players, Right,

170
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 5: that's a super talent. So you know we want to

171
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 5: see that on a nightly basis. The only time we

172
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 5: don't want to, you know, see it if it's you're

173
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 5: injured or you know, you you have something like really

174
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 5: really really wrong with you, but to just sit out

175
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 5: or just completely like cancel out back the backs, that

176
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 5: kind of.

177
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: If you're in the locker room, I mean you you

178
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: would be a you know, if you this is one

179
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: of your final stops on your twenty year career and

180
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: you hear your your you know, your your your best player,

181
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: say this, like, what's your mind set in the locker room?

182
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 5: He's not here for us for real. It's just that's

183
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 5: to me, it's just selfish, you know. And uh, players

184
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 5: understand that that played for a long time and that

185
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 5: maybe on their last contract or they actually are competitors,

186
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 5: they're gonna feel the same way. How do you build chemistry?

187
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 5: How am I gonna listen to you telling me what

188
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 5: they're doing, you know, not even fucking playing on the

189
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 5: back to.

190
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: Back or like, how does that?

191
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 5: It fucks the locker room up too, you know, if

192
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 5: you have vets that are you know, strong and understand

193
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 5: what it takes to win, or come you know, come

194
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 5: from playing with other players that actually fucking cared about

195
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 5: practice and getting better. How can I listen to you

196
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 5: if you telling me one thing but you sitting on

197
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 5: sideline half the time.

198
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: Let me be the devil's advocate. Obviously the knock on

199
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: him has always been tremendously talented, but doesn't really work

200
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: in the off season. But I will say there were

201
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was whispers, but they said that,

202
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, he dropped twenty pounds if I'm not mistaken

203
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: coming into this season. So my question is, maybe did

204
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: he hurt himself getting himself in shape? And that's the

205
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: thing whatever at the end of the day, trip, this

206
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: motherfucker just can't stay healthy and I'm gonna have to

207
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: play through pain regardless. But do you really want me

208
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: to go through this shit during the season or do

209
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: you want it in the playoffs?

210
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 5: Right now, everybody's DNA or physical makeup is different. But

211
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 5: we can't really say that because we're seeing somebody playing

212
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 5: the game for twenty two years and take care of

213
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 5: his body like no others, you know.

214
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 4: What I mean.

215
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 5: So if we're comparing somebody's talent to somebody that grey

216
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 5: who actually has the work ethic and all the things

217
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 5: that come with it, you feel cheated a little bit.

218
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: Can you imagine like an embiid with the Lebron taking

219
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: care of his body, or a Kobe off season where

220
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: like he could be the greatest player of all time

221
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: if he put that work in before the season, if

222
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: his body was able to put that work in before

223
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: the season and then have that carryover in the season.

224
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 4: Seven for a two guard for real?

225
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: For now, So before we get out of this topic trail,

226
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: I mean this team healthy or him being as healthy

227
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: as he can be, Paul George coming back as healthy

228
00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: as he can be, Caleb Martin, Tyrese Maxi Oubre some

229
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: good pieces. Where do they fit in the Eastern Conference landscape?

230
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 5: Again, it depends on how far your leaders can take you.

231
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 5: If their leaders are stepping up to the plate showing

232
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 5: them that it's a mental thing to get into game

233
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 5: fifty six don't feel well.

234
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: Not a sprint, right, you know.

235
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 5: So it's the long game and it all depends on

236
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 5: what their two big guns or you know, their core players.

237
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that'll be interesting. Man.

238
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: I think healthy this team is the top three team

239
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: in the East. But you know, pg's healthy health has

240
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: been definitely better than it's been in the past. But

241
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: Embeid is obviously the key to that team, next to

242
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler from h Town, Jimmy from A So I

243
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: think this is I missed it, but I heard that

244
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: there was some shit about the Rockets wanting Jimmy.

245
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 3: Obviously.

246
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: We had a conversation with Zoe this past offseason and

247
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: Tim hard Away and they both said there was a

248
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: little bit of friction between Pat and Jimmy. You know,

249
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: Jimmy came out and spoke talking shit during the playoffs

250
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: to a playoff. I don't remember exactly who it was,

251
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: but Pat came out and said, like you, basically, you

252
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: shouldn't even be talking if.

253
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 3: You're not in the playoffs.

254
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: I think Jimmy has antics about him that probably rubbed

255
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: people the wrong way at times, as we all do.

256
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: Pat had goddamn had enough. So you know, Obviously they're

257
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: going into this season with the uncertainty of whether, you know,

258
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy being thirty five, his final year of his deal,

259
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: is he someone they're going to lock up for the

260
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: remainder of his career or does he float out to Houston.

261
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: Let me read this real quick. Dear Jimmy, I remember

262
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: like it was yesterday you growing up in Tomball. That

263
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: what it was you growing up in Tomball, just down

264
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: the way.

265
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: The weather is good, the food is fire. As Trevor Reza,

266
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 3: come on home, this kid misses you. Always love h Town.

267
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: Love a lot of love. Trevy, you had you had

268
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 3: a nice run in.

269
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: Before we get to this Jimmy ship, talk us about

270
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: I never I mean I played on a lot of teams.

271
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: Houston wasn't one of them. Talk to us about what

272
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: did I you missed?

273
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 5: Missed out on a real real good time man. Just

274
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 5: great people, loving people. You know, they gonna let your

275
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 5: ask know when you're not doing what you're supposed to do,

276
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 5: but they always don't treat you with respect and love.

277
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 5: You know, the food is great, like that young person said,

278
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 5: and you know to me, it was a.

279
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 4: I loved it, great time, great time.

280
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: So this Houston team, man, the young team built for

281
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: a big move. You know, uh, Jalen Green got an

282
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: extension sengoon to me a top three or four center

283
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: in the NBA for sure right now. And I'm gonna

284
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: argue with whoever wants to argue once I look at

285
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: his stats. But just off pure youngster talent, mean down low,

286
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: Jabari Smith who was a top pick, Tarry Easton, Cam Whitmore,

287
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Thompson van flu. They just picked up the

288
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: white boy from Kentucky Shepherd read Shepherd, nice, very nice.

289
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: If this, if this Houston thing starts to get some

290
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: more legs on it, who would be someone you'd be willing.

291
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: To part ways with?

292
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: They also have a twenty twenty seven pick swap from

293
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: the Nets in the James Harden deal. So who would

294
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: you who can you package up?

295
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 3: Plus is.

296
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy but Yeah, it is Jimmy Butler. Good, great point, Dylan,

297
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler's thirty five traff, still a leader, still a star.

298
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: Are you packaging up young talent and draft picks for

299
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: him to try to make a run in this this

300
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: this tough young Western conference?

301
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 5: Man, I would, honestly if I'm if I'm Houston, especially

302
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: because what Jimmy brings to the game, the mentality that

303
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 5: he brings to the to the game. I feel like

304
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,239
Speaker 5: it mirraged their coach with just how tough.

305
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 4: And hard knows he is.

306
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 5: You know, no bullshit type dude, want to get wins,

307
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 5: will win at all costs, you know what I mean.

308
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 5: But I feel like it would be a good move

309
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 5: for all the players involved, especially because Houston has that

310
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 5: young talent.

311
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: Who would you put you speak about all players involved

312
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: with would would you put Jalen Green in that?

313
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: In that trade? For what?

314
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Green twenty two twenty three? Would you put him

315
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: in that? Obviously he has to wait a little while

316
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: because he just got his extension, but would you wrap

317
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: him up and and maybe him someone else in a pick?

318
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: Would you give up?

319
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, young, very talented, But like you said on

320
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: the flip side, and I think you made a great

321
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: point earlier, him going into that pat Riley Eric's Spolster

322
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: system could be the best thing that ever would be.

323
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 5: Best thing for him for sure, especially because they have

324
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 5: a program that they've been running for before he was

325
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 5: born for sure, So him going into what they do,

326
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 5: I think it matches perfectly because again, it's a beautiful

327
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 5: place to be South Beach.

328
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

329
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 5: You know, the heat culture and what they have and

330
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 5: his talent match together. It would send his game and

331
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 5: his career into completely different I.

332
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: Think it would tighten his mental for being around that.

333
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: Not to say what Houston has around him isn't right.

334
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: It's proven what Miami puts around their talent and the

335
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: way they buy in and understand how to take them

336
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: to the next level mentally as players, Jaden Green in

337
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: a Eric Sposter pat Riley system would be he would

338
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: go to ano level. I would completely agree with you.

339
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: So let's keep an eye on that to see. You know,

340
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: it's very early on, but let's see if if Jimmy

341
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: coming home grow some legs, more letters, some more ship

342
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: came in.

343
00:16:53,880 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, okay, let me see. Okay, let's go trauble

344
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,080

00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 4: Ain't chient Rome from?

346
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:06,080

Speaker 4: There's two ancient room from d Wade?

348
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:09,639

Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, y'all just gonna have me out here cold Turkey. Okay.

350
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 5: Dear Julius Julius Caesar, I need to get with you

351
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 5: and your people a sap. I just had a statue

352
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 5: unveilain and they mixed me up with Laurence Fishburn, Miami's

353
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 5: best d Wade.

354
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: Trav This was crazy.

355
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: This is crazy, and it's crazy because you know, I've

356
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: got to know d Wade a little better post career,

357
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: and I hit one of his closest people last night

358
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: and we were kind of talking about that. I told her,

359
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: I was like, who do I got to slap over

360
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: this d Wade statue? And she started busting up. You know, obviously,

361
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: we look at the video now and first and foremost,

362
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: congratulations to our brother d Wade.

363
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 4: One of the Yeah, deserve it well does that?

364
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: One of the greatest, one of the greatest players of

365
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: all time, top three two guards of all time. Argue

366
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: with your mom, one of the greatest to ever do

367
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: a competitor, uh and even better person. But you can

368
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: see Trevor when he's kind of looking at this statue.

369
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: Obviously this is a moment to shed a tear and

370
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: kind of reminisce. But then he saw the facial structure.

371
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: This motherfucker right here. He's like, that's not.

372
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 4: Me, man, that's a strong job, crazy man.

373
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: That's my question is can they can they cut the

374
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: head off and keep the body man and redo the

375
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: face and whoever did this this statue, I'm sorry, bro.

376
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say nothing crazy because he might have

377
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: known the artist, and I don't want to offend nobody,

378
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: but that that that that needed some work.

379
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I would agree to me personally.

380
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 5: I'm just happy that the statue moment when he hit

381
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 5: the game winner on me at point four in the garden, So.

382
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 3: That wasn't the one.

383
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just you.

384
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 5: Know, you could do a little bit better with the

385
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 5: with the facial features and you know the jar line,

386
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 5: just cup him out a little bite.

387
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: He deserved better, definitely deserve better.

388
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: But again that doesn't take away from obviously, you know,

389
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: getting this is the first statue. If I'm not mistaken

390
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: in front of that arena, no better person to represent

391
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: that than him. When you speak heat culture, Dwayne Wade

392
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: comes to mind. So salute to our brother, two time champion,

393
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: three times, three times, the NBA champion, NBA Hall of Famer,

394
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: Wade County. You got your statue, bro, but let's see

395
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: if we can chop that head off and let's get

396
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: second team All American on that.

397
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

398
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so obviously again, salute to our brother d Wade

399
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: for the statue, but right now we got to put

400
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: you in probably the top three worse.

401
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: And this is with love, bro, I love you, I

402
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 3: love you.

403
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: It's not your fault, right but you know, tra have

404
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: some other statues to come to mine. Or David Beckham,

405
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: he had a rough one, Ronaldo rough one. So right

406
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: now we gonna take it to the streets, y'all tell

407
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: us d Waye, Ronald or Beckham? Who needs to do over?

408
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: Who needs to do over?

409
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 5: The next one? To Nicola Jokice from floor spacing, Oh damn,

410
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 5: coming out players heads.

411
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 4: They saying, ain't no snipers over there.

412
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 3: That's what they're saying. That's what he said.

413
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 5: Okay, dear Nicola, you've been getting all the praise three

414
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 5: m VPS championship. But something's a little bit different about

415
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 5: this season, isn't it. You think floor spacing grows on trees.

416
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 5: Good luck this year. You'll need it warmest regards floor spacing.

417
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: You know obviously kcp out russ In, but I want

418
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: to back it up a little bit further to Tim Conley,

419
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: someone you knew well you had in Washington. Bill this

420
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: roster with Denver the championship roster, and he left the

421
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: year they won, and since then, Calvin Booth came in

422
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: and they've declined. They lost Bruce Brown, they've lost Jeff Green,

423
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: They've lost KCP. I know they lost someone else too.

424
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: There was one more guy I want to say they

425
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: lost now I mentioned Jeff Graham, welly more another was

426
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: a shooter, you know. But you know, obviously our young

427
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: boy Peyton Watson is getting more minutes over there now.

428
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: The Brown kid what's his name? From Kansas? I like

429
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: Christian Brown. You add someone like Russ you know, who

430
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: is an ultimate ultimate team player, but not a shooter.

431
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 1: They're packed in right now, you know, they're packed in

432
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: right now. The only guys that are really shooting in

433
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: is Jamal Murray is a shooter. Uh, Michael Porter Junior

434
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: is one of the streakiest shooters in the game. Someone

435
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: he can knock it down. But there's not a ton

436
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: of space out there for Jokics to operate. They've got

437
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: off to a zero to two start. Trepp thought, just

438
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: the way this roster would you say, it's gotten better

439
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: since the championship, but.

440
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 5: The worst it's gotten better and again every year I

441
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 5: feel like in the NBA, you can't take steps backwards,

442
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 5: and shooting comes out of premium. So if you don't

443
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 5: have shooting, you don't have spacing. And like you said,

444
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 5: it's early in the season, but without the space and yo,

445
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 5: kids really can't be who he is for real. So

446
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 5: you got to get some shooting over there in Denver,

447
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 5: and you gotta get it fast or else you know,

448
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 5: it's going to be a regression.

449
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: You know, Denver was number four in the league in

450
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: three point shooting the year they won the title. They

451
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: finished tenth in three point percentage last year. Currently they're

452
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: twenty fifth in three point percentage and last in field

453
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: goal percentage. So they're just not putting the ball in

454
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: the basket. So this's gonna be some interesting to watch.

455
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: Strev Obviously, you know Murray hasn't been playing well. Came

456
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: out the gates SEC. He's playing well to start this season,

457
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: but hasn't necessarily played well last year, didn't play well

458
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: in the Olympics.

459
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of him, but we will have

460
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: to keep an eye on it.

461
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely gotta play better.

462
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 3: Appreciate you, bro see. We'll talk to you next week,

463
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 3: all right, buddy.

Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate it.

514
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: So big news coming out of Game two, obviously, Freddie

515
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: Freeman Grand Slam. Game one, came out hit a home run.

516
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: Game two a lot of home runs left and right.

517
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: But Otani's injury was kind of the topic out of

518
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: game two. Do you have any inside information? Will he

519
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: be back game three?

520
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: No, he is.

521
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 7: He actually didn't get as hurt as bad as we thought.

522
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 7: I mean, the whole city panicked for a minute, But

523
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 7: I mean, what for seven hundred million, you got to

524
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 7: come out with one arm one r Yeah, you got

525
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 7: to come out of with one arm and play for it.

526
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 7: So he's in the game. I think the Yankees gonna

527
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 7: have a big problem tonight.

528
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: Thoughts on just you know, Dodgers have been at the

529
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: top of the you know, the top of the league

530
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: the entire season, but getting hot at the right time

531
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: is essential. And you know, the way their bats have

532
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: been going, and then they're pitching has been shown up

533
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: as well. But they've just been hitting the shit out

534
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: of the ball. Home Runs are flying out of the park,

535
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: left and right, all through the order are hitting the ball.

536
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: So your thoughts going into Game three confident?

537
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 7: I mean one through nine, I mean, I think we're

538
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 7: the best in the business right now. If the top

539
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 7: of the lineup doesn't get you. The bottom of the

540
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 7: lineup is gonna get you. The bottom doesn't get you.

541
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 7: The people on the bench are gonna get you. So yeah,

542
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 7: we're we're in a place where they have to start

543
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 7: hitting and not us.

544
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Judge's been struggling. I expect Judge to bounce out

545
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: of his slump. Some other guys have been picking up

546
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: the slack. But they're definitely gonna need Aaron Judd if

547
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a chance to come back in this year.

548
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 7: Yes, and he's been playing well all year. So baseball

549
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 7: is a funny sport.

550
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:38,479
Speaker 5: Man.

551
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 7: It can break your heart. You know, one day you're up,

552
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 7: the next day you're sitting on top of the world.

553
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 7: It really only takes one hit from him. So if

554
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 7: we pitch, if we pitched the way we know to

555
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 7: pitch to him, we'll be all right.

556
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: I played a little baseball my day, and they used

557
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: to have slump busters. What would be your slump buster

558
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: right now? If you're Aaron Judd to get you back

559
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: on track.

560
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: And it could be anything.

561
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 7: I am actually sitting on off speed pitches to get

562
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 7: out of slumps. That's what you're supposed to do, Okay,

563
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 7: supposed to sit on off speed to get out of slumps.

564
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: Speaking of pitches and off speed, you and Ray are

565
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: full of shit, first and foremost. Let me just start

566
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: by that. So I'm gonna talk to you guys, and

567
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: we're gonna get this on camera. These dudes said that

568
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: they can hit a ninety mile an hour fastball, which

569
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: probably one percent of the population can, and they think

570
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: they're in that one percent. So we got to bet.

571
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: What do we say? If you lose, you gotta paint

572
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: Nate Nate's nail. You you have to pain and you

573
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: have to scrub Rais back.

574
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: No, I don't get out like that, but I know

575
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: I'm hitting.

576
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: So you really think you can hit an absolute and

577
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: Ray does to like you guys are saying this so confident,

578
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: like I'm laughing, Like.

579
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 3: There's no way in hell you can hit a ninety

580
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 3: mile hour fastball.

581
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give you a thousand dollars and then

582
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: turn you guys owned a hundred push ups if you lose,

583
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: and we could break them hundred help wherever you want it.

584
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 3: I won't make you paint nail.

585
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 2: Yes, and I need this on video.

586
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 3: Oh, it's definitely gonna be on video.

587
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: Okay, and I need to get paid.

588
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll bring the money to the game.

589
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: It's no doubt for me.

590
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 3: It's five.

591
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: And you're gonna hit a ninety nine fast off? Why

592
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: is the hell don't start that ship? So five pitches,

593
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: five pitches, and all you gotta do is hit one.

594
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 7: I can't hit off live pitching, obviously, so it has

595
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 7: to be like a batty cage.

596
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, here we go.

597
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 3: Okay, what what?

598
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:21,960

Speaker 2: It sounds like a little.

623
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,160

00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 3: a fuck.

629
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: When no one says I know my dog, everyone says,

630
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: can you just apologize?

631
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 2: Qu JJ.

632
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 7: You're doing a good job, baby, keep it up. You

633
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 7: know how we are. We're kind of finicky here. I

634
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 7: see you lose a couple of games, jass to be

635
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 7: out of here. Okay, so right now you're doing well?

636
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 7: Just a kind of yeah, be out of here, man. Okay,

637
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 7: So you're doing well. I'm happy to see it. It

638
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 7: is only three games.

639
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: It is so. But what I'm seeing so far, the

640
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: players look like they respect him, which is what I

641
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: first foremost.

642
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think everybody thought wasn't going to be, that

643
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 7: wasn't gonna happen. But he's here now, he's part of us.

644
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 7: He's one of us. We have to get behind him

645
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 7: and until otherwise, I'm gonna give him a pass.

646
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: Okay right now?

647
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, paid you a lot of money, JJ.

648
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: I knew he would be successful. Obviously we're three games in.

649
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: We don't want to jump off the bridge already. But

650
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: JJ moves around with an arrogance and a confidence because

651
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: he does the work.

652
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 3: He moved that way as a player.

653
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: You know, a quick story, and I've told this JJ

654
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: would be the one guy thought I would never fuck

655
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: with and play with them twice in one of my

656
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: closest basketball friends.

657
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 3: To this day.

658
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: So JJ is someone that comes off a certain way

659
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: into but when you know him, I mean, the dude

660
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: is always a consummate professional, beautiful mind when it comes

661
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,479
Speaker 1: to X and o's. But you know, I think what

662
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: you said is the most important is getting that respect.

663
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: No one's been able to crack the code with that

664
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: locker room, that they've had. Although they won a championship,

665
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: it's always just kind of been some shit after that.

666
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: And I think he came in with the respect of

667
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: the guys. But I think more than anything, he's empowered

668
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis is at what about thirty four

669
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: right now in twelve, and we're not saying he's gonna

670
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: stay at that number all though. I don't think he's

671
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: gonna dip much lower. I think he'll be a twenty

672
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: nine or thirty point a game score if he can

673
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: stay healthy this year. Broun is able to kind of

674
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: pick and choose his spots. He doesn't have to be Superman,

675
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: and I think this is what the fan base have

676
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: been asking for for a while, that Ad has to

677
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: step up and be the best player on this team,

678
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: and bron can be Braun. I loved what Broun did

679
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: in the Olympics. Obviously, with a little bit more scoring,

680
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: I think if he can be that Swiss Army Knight

681
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: for this team, the Lakers are gonna have a chance

682
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: to I don't want to jump out and stay championship yet,

683
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: but I definitely think they're gonna be a really strong team,

684
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: and there's no telling you know, maybe at some point

685
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: you guys will make a trade and add another piece.

686
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts of, you know, early three games,

687
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: end of the season, but just what you're seeing from

688
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: that team, the execution on the offensive end, the way

689
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: ads playing, the way Bron's playing, Austin Reeves eighteen six

690
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: and six, Hachi Morris being been solid. Got some guys

691
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: on the bench that are hurt, They're going to be

692
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: coming back soon. So thoughts on your Lake show.

693
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 7: You know, for me, I expect everybody to do their

694
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 7: job like Lebron and Ad expect them to do their job.

695
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 7: Now for us the real Laker fans, who is the

696
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 7: new guys that's going to be our new X factor?

697
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 7: Who's off the bench. What is our second team going

698
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 7: to look like this year? And so far some of

699
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 7: the guys are looking pretty good. You talk about connecting,

700
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 7: you talk about Austin Reeves, We're talking about all these guys,

701
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 7: but we need them to step up consistent. Yes, because

702
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 7: a D and Lebron they're getting paid millions of dollars

703
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 7: to play the way they play.

704
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: But who's going to help us?

705
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: So normally you feel like you need that third option.

706
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: I think Julania mentioned that earlier when we were kind

707
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: of prepping for this, who's that third option? And to me,

708
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: until they bust a move, I think the third option

709
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: could be by committee. You know, d Loo is very streaky,

710
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: someone that can get hot, Austin res is averaging eighteen

711
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: six and six, and then the role players being the

712
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: role players they gave Vincent's the connect. I like the

713
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: young boy from Tennessee. Obviously, Browny went down to the

714
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: G League, but kind of finding out who else is

715
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,239
Speaker 1: gonna round out that bench. You know you they got

716
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: some guys that are injured right now that'll come back,

717
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: but I mean three games in, it's early. We're not

718
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: gonna go crazy. But I love what jj JJ is

719
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: giving that team an identity. Absolutely and shout out our

720
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: man Baron Davis. He said he caught JJ at the

721
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: car wash the other day this weekend and he was

722
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: watching film.

723
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 3: He's a student.

724
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: What's the backup center for us? Name Jackson Hayes.

725
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 3: I like him.

726
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: I think he's the guy.

727
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: That like I like him because that can slide a

728
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: D to the five. But he's really he reminds me

729
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: of a is it. I don't want to say, Tyson Chandler,

730
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: maybe like a young DeAndre just really bouncy rebound block shot,

731
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: rim threat runs hard player, not a crash dummy in

732
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: a bad way, but it'll run through a fucking wall

733
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: for you, tough kid.

734
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: Yes, we need a fow. We need him to file somebody.

735
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: I like him.

736
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 3: I like him a lot so Laker fans. Man, there's

737
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 3: some hope this year.

738
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: It is early.

739
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: The guys thought it was over this summer when they

740
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: signed that. Everyone was, fuck, what the fuck? This is

741
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: White Rising. She don't deserve this ship. Although JJ did

742
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: go Jay's Smooth. You went from coaching your son to

743
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: the fucking Lakers.

744
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is.

745
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: Amazing and unheard of. But man, I'm really happy for you, bro.

746
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: You know we've already talked and good luck this year.

747
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna need you to pull up on us one

748
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: of these mornings, though. But man, Gina, we appreciate you

749
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: our weekly LA check in from the most notorious LA

750
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: hater of them all, David.

751
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 2: I appreciate you not showing your ankles while I'm up here.

752
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 7: Sorry, okay, all today, man, we appreciate you coming in

753
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 7: man absolutely for.

754
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: The final segment of the show, we got a Draftking

755
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: segment my weekly NFL picks. You guys, I'm a huge

756
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: NFL fan, and as long as I'm allowed to lone

757
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 1: my girl doesn't bully me, I'm gonna watch NFL all Sunday,

758
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: watch a Thursday night, Monday night.

759
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 3: I'm a big NFL fan.

760
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: So we wanted to start doing our weekly picks, and

761
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: I don't really know too much about the plus minus

762
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: all that shit.

763
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 3: What does Shaq call it? Shaq called what what? Yeah?

764
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: BPB and w B yeah w WPB. We're gonna start

765
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: doing our weekly picks. The teams I'm rolling with this

766
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: week obviously, you know I'm a die hard Niner, so

767
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: ten out of ten times I'm probably gonna pick them,

768
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: but they're not on our list this week. So let's

769
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: see who we got. First off, we got the Broncos

770
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: at the Ravens Ravens minus eight. I think both teams

771
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: are five and two, but I really like the Ravens man.

772
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: I like what big fellas brought, what's his name running

773
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: back Derrick Henry, what he's been able to do leading

774
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: the league, and rush I'm not mistaken. Lamar Jackson is

775
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: one of the best in the game. Two time MVP,

776
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: so I really like where they're going. So I'm gonna

777
00:35:53,719 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: take the Ravens at home minus eight. Next pick Lions

778
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: at the Packers. Lions have been playing well. Green Bay's

779
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: at home. Packers are minus.

780
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 3: Four Lions is four and a half.

781
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: Oh, so Lions are minus four lions going into Green Bay.

782
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna take I'm gonna take the Lions

783
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: minus four and a half going into green Bay. I

784
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 1: like green Bay young quarterback over there, very bright future.

785
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: I think Jared Goss got these guys playing really well

786
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: right now. So I'm gonna take the Lions minus four

787
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,880

00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: It's the Falcons are minus two and a half points.

790
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: Although I feel like Dak might have a bounce back game,

791
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: I just have too many friends that swear by the Cowboys,

792
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: and I like fucking with them, and I love when

793
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: they lose.

794
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna.

795
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,760

796
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,359

797
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,840
