00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: It's like when I'm hosting the podcast.

00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: Anyways, I like it.

43
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, we've had a bit of an adventure here

44
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: so far. In Houston. We got in yesterday. Uh, the

45
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: four of us me, jd Ashua, and Jerome went and

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: saw a screener for Air coming out. Whoa again, Michael

47
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: Jordan Air movie. If you like basketball, which you probably

48
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: do if you're here, worth seeing.

49
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: For sure spoiler alert.

50
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: In the end, Michael Jordan signs with Adidas. It was

51
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: it was a surprise.

52
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 4: This movie.

53
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: I was surprised, but I thought a good twist.

54
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: But no.

55
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: We enjoyed the movie.

56
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: The one part that was very weird, Like I said,

57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: this was a screener, so we were very lucky to

58
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 3: be there in the first place. As the movie was

59
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 3: getting started, the security guards came out. The most classic

60
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: good cop bad cop I've ever seen in my life.

61
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: The first guy comes out, He's like, hey, can I

62
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: have your attention? How old were you when you got

63
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: your first pair of Jordan's and what color were they?

64
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: What how much do they cost? This was a security guard.

65
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: He was doing it like Crown Blue, which I thought

66
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: was hilarious.

67
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: So he said the snatch people are sixty five books

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 3: talking inflation right away, and then the bad cop came in.

69
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, yeah, if.

70
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: We see you with your phone out you'll be escorted

71
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: from the premises immediately. And to tell you how serious

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: they are about it, it'll be a fifty thousand dollars fine.

73
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: For going to see a movie. Man, it is a siner.

74
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: It's a screener. Oh you don't want you know. I'm worried.

75
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: You've already said too much. I think I have hardy.

76
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: I gave away their whole twist at the end is

77
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan in it? Is that rumor true? Nothing

78
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: I can't tell. I don't want to go to jail

79
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: for talking about this movie, you know, Okay? But yeah,

80
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: we went. We saw it. It was fun.

81
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: I would recommend it to basketball fans.

82
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: Certainly.

83
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 3: It has got an incredible eighties soundtrack. And then after

84
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: we had a great moment when we called a lift.

85
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: The lift came four men getting in. No problem, says

86
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: it fits. Four.

87
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: Opened the door. The driver says, I only take three.

88
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: It's like, what, who got left? It's only four of us? Well,

89
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: Ashweller got left behind.

90
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 3: Oh that's okay, already, nobody got left behind. We said, okay,

91
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: we all got left behind. She left, and as she

92
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 3: pulled away, Jerome noticed that she was driving a Toyota

93
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: rav four and said.

94
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: All right, it's not called a RAF three.

95
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: Nice nailed it, nailed it, so burned to her five

96
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 3: star review.

97
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: Though for Jerome on the joke, good stuff, good stuff,

98
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: Just sharing stories because why not, that's why we're here.

99
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: Has anyone been to Old Vegas show A hands? Yeah? Oh,

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: everybody's like, I guess. I say, I did, yes first time.

101
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: Usually you know, you do the strip whatever, but I did.

102
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: I did frequent Old Vegas last night, and I just

103
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: have three quick stories. If you've ever gone to the

104
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: I guess it's called the Fremont sort of light show.

105
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: You've probably seen photos of it. It's like it's almost

106
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: like a tunnel, but it's all like projections. I didn't

107
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: realize that was a party. I thought it would just

108
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: be a lot of people like standing around looking at

109
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: cool lights, you know, and taking some photos. It is

110
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: a party in there, and within ten minutes this is

111
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: what happened. Does anyone remember the clip with Kevin Garnett

112
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: on his old show Area fifty or Area twenty one

113
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: where there was like these bendy guys that came in

114
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: and were like bending their legs over their head. I

115
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: gotta get that.

116
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, I think we should have that clip just

117
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 3: like playing in the background for us for every live show.

118
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: Put that than the notes for later.

119
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: But basically those guys were there, the bone Breakers themselves.

120
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: There was a guy on the ground first minute within

121
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: walking into this Fremont experience, a guy with those legs

122
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: over his head so his butt's right there, and another

123
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: guy playing the bongos on the guy's butt, and it

124
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: was like there was no like, I couldn't put money anywhere.

125
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't like I.

126
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: Like, maybe there's just one place you cut out.

127
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: Do you take the card? So there was that. Then

128
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: there was a fight. We tried to get White Castle.

129
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: That's there. Wait what there's a white Castle in this

130
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: on this little part? Okay, yeah, fight broke out in

131
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: white Castle. So that was fun. And then the final

132
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: one I thought you would like this. We had gone

133
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: into one of the casinos and I think somebody was like,

134
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: my buddies were using a washer. I'm just waiting sort

135
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: of buy the slot machines. This guy saddles up next

136
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: to me, taps me on the side. I turned to him.

137
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: He doesn't say a thing. He holds out his palm,

138
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: and in it is a light bulb. He does not

139
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: say one thing. I look, I go, that's a nice

140
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: light bulb.

141
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 4: And he just.

142
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: Goes houts it back in his pocket and walked away.

143
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: And so then my friends come out of the washroom

144
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: and I said, what my old show, you can boo that?

145
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: And of course I had to tell him like what

146
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: just happened? And I was like, but I'm like, I'm like,

147
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: am I so old is like someone showing you a

148
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: light bulb like code for drugs or something. Now I'm like,

149
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: must be. But my friend went up, I said, that's

150
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: the guy over there, he's sitting over there. Go ask

151
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: him to see Go ask to see his light bulb.

152
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: Paul went up, Hey, I heard you get a light bulb,

153
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: just pulled it out his pocket, shout it, put it

154
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: back and that was it. So that's the Freemont experience.

155
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: So highly recommend it if you want to see some

156
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: ass bongos, a little fight in white Castle, and a

157
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:57,360

00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: around a little bit, but you've been here for a

209
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: while in the city of Houston.

210
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

211
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: Correct. How long are we talking.

212
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 4: Along as time? Probably like fifteen twenty years?

213
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: Okay, so from the good Rockets days to the today's

214
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 3: Rockets today's Rockets days.

215
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, nice, Yeah, let's just jump into that. Okay,

216
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: another brutal year here for the Rockets. What are we at?

217
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: Nineteen wins? I think, well, I think the Spurs twenty

218
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: yeah times for them, this is like three years running

219
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: now and you've been covering them the entire time.

220
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 4: For the athletic yes, I have, so I've to. So

221
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 4: you're gonna leave through all that.

222
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 5: Bad basketball and just praying praying for Victor I guess you.

223
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 6: Know so.

224
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: And see what happens all I mean, obviously the Rockets

225
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: have some young prospects, like do you think do you

226
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: like which ones? I mean, if you got into almost

227
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: ranking them in terms of like that's a cornerstone, that's

228
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: a building block, Like how would you almost go one, two, three?

229
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: At least how the Rockets? You think? Look at it?

230
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 5: If it's me I'm going one Jabbari Smith Junior. I

231
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 5: think that people gonna because you know this is Alprin

232
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 5: Shangoun town.

233
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not a good love I think.

234
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 5: I think Jabari has the ability to be that dominant

235
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 5: two way player, especially defensively when you can regard one

236
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 5: through five.

237
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 4: Not not yet, but you see the early signs.

238
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 5: And obviously Alprin Shangoon is there too as well, just

239
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 5: being that foundation building block and offensive hub, a passing wizard.

240
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 4: And then obviously Jalen Green.

241
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 5: You know, you got a guy, a young, talented athletic

242
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 5: score who wants to be the guy but still kind

243
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 5: of taking those limbs trying to learn the way of

244
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 5: the NBA and trying to.

245
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 4: See how things can go.

246
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 5: But those two guys, and you have guys like Taris,

247
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 5: and you got a lot of things.

248
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: There's talents. I was saying at the start of the year,

249
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, I went to a couple of Rockets games.

250
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: There was one in Atlanta, I caught another one. I'm like, oh,

251
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: I think this is like the must watch League pass team.

252
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: Like we knew they weren't gonna win a lot of games.

253
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: But that lasted for like a week. And then they

254
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: became like the least watchable team and it felt like

255
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: so like that, I think that's almost like the disappointing part, right,

256
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: like the one thing, Like the losses are one thing,

257
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: but it's like sometimes at least if they're playing exciting

258
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: or it's fun up and down, but it's been been

259
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: rough going.

260
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

261
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 5: So like just over the last three years, you've seen

262
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 5: different versions of this team. You know, they've all been

263
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 5: a bunch of young guys coming through. But I think

264
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 5: the biggest thing for those guys is trying to build

265
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 5: towards the future and seeing what they can be because

266
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 5: I know, you guys know back in the day twenty eighteen,

267
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen, twenty nineteen, these guys were perennial contenders trying

268
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 5: to get on the brink of that NBA championship and

269
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 5: you know, the Wars you know, kind of had a

270
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 5: way about it.

271
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 4: But yeah, they.

272
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 5: Want to get back to that point, and I think

273
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 5: you have to take your lumps. It sucks right now

274
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 5: because you fans have to pay your money and.

275
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 4: Go and watch a shitty team, But.

276
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 5: If you can, if you can squit really hard, you

277
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 5: can see what they want to be They're gonna have

278
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 5: a bunch of cap Space this summer, you know, if

279
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 5: they get victor if they get schooled.

280
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 4: Who knows right and things cutch up? Jayalen Brown's in

281
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 4: the mix too.

282
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: Well what about hold hey, Beach Stephens later, man, hold

283
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 3: your questions please, we will have Kelly here for that.

284
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: What about James Harden returning cap Space? Because you, I mean,

285
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: you broke this story correctly, so like like how did

286
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: that come about? I mean, and also you really believe

287
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: this is a possibility.

288
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you know three years ago he left and

289
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 5: everyone remembers, you know, COVID and the height of the

290
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 5: COVID pandemic and James wallin, you know, trying to get.

291
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 4: His way out of Houston.

292
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 5: But on the way out, you know, the sense that

293
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 5: they got was this was more of a see you later.

294
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 4: You know, James loves the city. He loves Htown or

295
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 4: what it means to him.

296
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 5: He has businesses here, his families here, a lot of

297
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 5: organizations here, and he wanted to go leave and win

298
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 5: a championship. Obviously, if it does happened in Philly, you know,

299
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 5: I don't know where else do it at that age,

300
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 5: but he does want to end his career I think

301
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 5: in Houston. So coming back now to a team that

302
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 5: needs him desperately. They don't have a point guard right now.

303
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 5: You know, they need some kind of leadership, some kind

304
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 5: of guidance. And this version of James averaging what elevenis

305
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 5: is a game. He's taking a step back to allowing

306
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 5: be to be that guy. And if you can squint

307
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 5: again and think can he step back and let guys

308
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 5: like Jalen Jabbari those guys flourish, then it kind of

309
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 5: makes sense because that's.

310
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: The immediate concern, right is like Hardy comes back and

311
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: it's like sort of back to and it's like, oh,

312
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: these young guys maybe aren't getting the touch and stuff

313
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: like that. But you're right, he has changed his game

314
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: a little bit in Philly, but he also has Joel Embiid.

315
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean he's got shan Gun. It becomes

316
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: a Houston.

317
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: You know a lot of people call Joe El Embiid

318
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: a poor man's outprint.

319
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: Shangun's not right.

320
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 4: I think Wikipedia might be somewhere over there.

321
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe in this room they do.

322
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 3: Actually, So it seems like next year Rockets team is

323
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: gonna look a lot different.

324
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: You're mentioning the Caps space.

325
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: They've had a lot of young guys in and out

326
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 3: for the past three years, and it definitely feels like

327
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: changes a top as well, maybe in the coaching staff,

328
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: maybe in the front office as well. Are they trying

329
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: to get back to the playoffs next year or at

330
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: least play in respectability sort of, or what's the goal

331
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 3: you think?

332
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 5: I think once you've gone through three years of this,

333
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 5: you want anything as far away from this as possible.

334
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 4: So I don't think.

335
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 5: I don't think they want to go from what twenty

336
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: wins to twenty seven to twenty They want to get

337
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 5: to a legitimate no upper thirties, sure, flirting with play

338
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 5: and stuff like that. So to get there, you're gonna

339
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 5: need some help, you know. It could be a Jaylen

340
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 5: Brown as people talking about it, could be you know, James.

341
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 5: You know, they need help and all shapes and sizes,

342
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 5: and that's kind of why you see them wanting to

343
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 5: flip the page and talk about someone like a Nick

344
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 5: Nurse potentially or somehow.

345
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: Dare you take my coach? How dare you come on

346
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: this stage and take my coach? Yeah? Yeah, I really

347
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: under said.

348
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: In like a Nick Nurse a Scottie Barnes, Okay, relax,

349
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: point guard Fred Vancleet.

350
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll see. Do you think do you think Steven

351
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: Silas is probably gone as Rockets head coach or any chance? Yeah?

352
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 4: I think I think so. I think.

353
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 5: You know, everything's been building to this point of flipping

354
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 5: the page. And Steven's a great guy, great great guy,

355
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 5: great guy to be around. He knows the game. But

356
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 5: for three years they've been the worst team in the league,

357
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 5: and you have to build winning habits at some point, right,

358
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 5: And I think as an organization, if you're an owner,

359
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 5: you want to flip the page. You want to clean house,

360
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 5: and you want to you want to get guys in

361
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 5: there that have been there before and done that. Yeah,

362
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 5: and Nick Nurse has done that.

363
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: Hey, it's shady again. The audio cramped out again for

364
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: about thirty seconds, so there's some missing audio here. Apologies

365
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: for that. Picking it up at the next question.

366
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: Are they fun to be around? As like a beat writer?

367
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: All these games?

368
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 6: Are they They're young, they're vibrate, they're active, they're they're lit.

369
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

370
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: Who's funny? Like, who's funny on the team?

371
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 5: Who's fun Yeah, he's funny.

372
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 4: He's funny. Who else is funny in the team. He's hilarious.

373
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 5: Oos is actually alreadily funny.

374
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 4: He's hilarious.

375
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: That's good. So it's like, at least even though they're

376
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: losing all these games, they're enjoyables around.

377
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 4: You're gonna have fun something.

378
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

379
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 3: What are the reactions when like opponents would come through

380
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: and kind of after the game, they'd be like, they

381
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: gotta get some vets in here.

382
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 4: I mean a still I have a one story.

383
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 5: So earlier in the year, Klay Thompson, remember he was

384
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 5: struggling to the point where people were saying should come

385
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 5: off the bench or whatever.

386
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 4: They come to Houston. He goes like forty two. I'm

387
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 4: talking to him the lockerroom. He said, I needed that game.

388
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 5: So that's been kind of like a theme all year

389
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 5: where you see some random guy go off or trying

390
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,239
Speaker 5: to find their groove back just playing Houston is it's

391
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 5: kind of it's it speaks to kind of how the

392
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 5: mood was early on, where teams were coming in expecting wins,

393
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 5: and now it's been a bit different where the Rockets

394
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 5: are playing kind of hard and trun but every guy

395
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 5: that's come in here, said, these guys need older guys

396
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 5: around because everyone knows how the game works. You know,

397
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 5: you need older vets in that locker room that can

398
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 5: teach you what not to do, like just how to

399
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 5: be a pro and how to build winning habits. And

400
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 5: they don't have that. They have Buban, but he's nice guy.

401
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: He's given acting lessons, which is nice.

402
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 6: You're still dribbling, but to have someone, to have someone

403
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 6: in the trenches with you is you know, you can't

404
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 6: even speak to hounds harden that.

405
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 4: So they kind of need that.

406
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: They need, like you're saying, maybe it's hardened. But the

407
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: lowry type, the Mike Mike Conley type exactly. Somebody to

408
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: be the sort of the parent and I guess sort

409
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: of in the locker room and guide them. While we

410
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: have you here, Kelly, we thought we could do a

411
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: little up down report. Yeah, let's do it. Oh yeah,

412
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: you've ever played dumb step here this? Yeah, you gotta,

413
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: I gotta play along.

414
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 3: If you're here in the audience, let us know you're

415
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 3: ups and downs as well, Kelly.

416
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: A lot of these are Houston theme.

417
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 3: It's so it'd be good to actually get your take

418
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 3: on as somebody who knows Houston. Our first one is

419
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: more this weekend's Houston theme. Are you up or down?

420
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: Do you like college basketball, NCAA basketball in general?

421
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm down. I'm down on college basketball.

422
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 3: When you watch a lot of NBA, you can see

423
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 3: the difference the shot making.

424
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 4: It's it's kind of like Houston's.

425
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: I watched enough of this. Do you think the Houston

426
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: Rockets would win March Madness of when everybody does that?

427
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they would.

428
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: Okay, I agree with that. I agree. I'm up on it.

429
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to the game. Come on, let's go. We're

430
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: gonna see something historic tonight. Yeah, I couldn't tell you.

431
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: Well, Mott Butler is all I the game winner.

432
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: That's the thing. The tournament is awesome. You can't deny it.

433
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 3: Mistakes are so high, but you know, I tune in

434
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 3: for the tournament only, tournament only.

435
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: Baby. The women's final was amazing. That we've got a

436
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: great two tournaments.

437
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, to be quite honest, and hopefully we get another

438
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 3: classic just like they had in the women's game on Sunday. Yeah,

439
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 3: I was watching on the plane.

440
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: That was awesome.

441
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: Hey, if you if you trash talk for an entire

442
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: tournament and then you lose in the last game, you're

443
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 3: gonna get trash talk.

444
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: All I learned when like this controversy happens is there's

445
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: so many losers out there that don't play basketball. That's hoops.

446
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: That's what we do. That's all you do. You talk

447
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: your ship, you do that stuff like that was a

448
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: nothing burger, Now what a burger's later? Oh yeah, we'll

449
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: get to it. We'll get Yeah, Okay, let's go, next one,

450
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: next one.

451
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: The Rockets have been wearing these green and gold throwback

452
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 3: uniforms this season. They are a throwback to their San

453
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 3: Diego days.

454
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: Uh you like these, Kelly? Yeah?

455
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

456
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: I think I feel like split reactions here.

457
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: We're seeing Yeah I am, I'm way up on this.

458
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 5: You gotta have that, and then you have that little

459
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 5: the standard ad, Yeah you gotta, you gotta, you gotta line.

460
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm way up on these. I said it at the

461
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: time when they dropped. I think they look amazing now.

462
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: The the like the bands around the waist, it's a

463
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: it's a weird choice, but the actual lower waist. Yeah,

464
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: the waist is definitely a choice. And Jillen Green just

465
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: seems in like especially in these photos in these jerseys,

466
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: just seems like the coolest guy just like he's cool?

467
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: Is he cool? I mean, I'm talking to the guy

468
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: Shade's on right now, you know, cool man? He's okay? Good?

477
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,480

Speaker 1: the middle of a bunch of people. I think the

481
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,919

Speaker 5: You I know this.

494
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 3: I'm ambivalent on Travis Scott.

495
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: So I went through some of these topics while we're

496
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: out on these weird hikes were doing the other day

497
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: with my buddies. Because you're out there for a long time,

498
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: you need things to talk about. I brought up Travis Scott,

499
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: my buddy Grish, your buddy Grish, our buddy Grish. He

500
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: said that Travis Scott is just a rip off of

501
00:23:53,320 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: Asap Rocky. Absolutely not, I was. I turned around on

502
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: that hike. I turned around and went home five miles in.

503
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: I just walked. I didn't even see the canyon. Yeah, okay,

504
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: So I just want to as is.

505
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 5: Known these days as Rihanna's baby deck.

506
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: So that's well, Travis Scott's still making music. Okay, Okay, underface, Grish,

507
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: suck it, Grisha.

508
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 3: That's why we put this one in here, just to

509
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 3: settle that argument.

510
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: You know what, Grish is up on tight hiking chirts.

511
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: He loves a medium. He thinks he's a little smaller

512
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: than he is right now, but he's a sh medium.

513
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 3: I thought he got pecan plants and may looks like

514
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: he's been doing bench press for six months.

515
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: Great.

516
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: I think Grish is watching live right.

517
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: Hopefully I was being a supportive friend.

518
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm like me, but a perfect segue. Yeah in the

Speaker 1: What what is it? Where is it? It's just that

533
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: we actually have a question.

534
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 5: Who where is cowboy fashion actually applicable outside of the farm?

535
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 7: Well, Bruce Hey, Bruce Brown, CMA musical CMA is Yeah.

536
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 3: Look, I would love to be able to just wear

537
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 3: a casual cowboy hat, but it's impossible. Man, Like can

538

00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 3: over and there's a guy in a car with a

542

Speaker 3: cowboy hat on.

543
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: That'd be insane, but I get out it would look tough.

544
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: Can we take a second, though, to appreciate Matt Austin

548
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: it. It feels like but I notice it every time I

549
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: see it, like Bruce Brown showing up the games.

550
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,520

Speaker 4: I was pretty good quid ship.

566
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: That was pretty good space travel.

567
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 4: You're dead out otherwise I'll stick to you know.

568

00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 4: to space.

571
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, on the next pick and payoff that we never

572
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: do anymore. Send my ass to space or the loser

573
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: to space or space. That's a strict punishment. But no,

574
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: we're going big. I mean, uh, not to get real here,

575
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: but humans, we explore space, the final frontier.

576
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 3: That's right, man, he's a spin right now.

577
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: I literally think of dreaming. I don't even know. It's

578
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: kind of went on.

579
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 3: A spirit walk to the National Parks in the United

580
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 3: States and said, not big enough, take.

581
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: Me to outer space. I never stopped looking down from

582
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: the sky. I didn't see the canyons. Actually just looking up.

583
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: I gazed into those starry nights and I just wanted

584
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: to be a part of it. Yeah, okay, what are

585
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,239
Speaker 1: what are you up and down on I'm up.

00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 3: do it.

588
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 4: I can do it.

589
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: That's what I've always said.

590
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 3: But soon, someday, someday we'll have the opportunity.

591
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll be forced to because we've yeah, from losing

592
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: to pick and payoffs. Yeah, yes, that's why I put

593
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: so much effort in. I keep picking the rockets, so

594
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: I keep losing. I can't even cover. Oh my good, Okay,

595
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: next one, all right, next one?

596
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: Also space related, the saying Houston we have a problem.

597
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: See, I knew this was going to be the regts.

598
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 3: Why everybody's down, because it was a misquote made for

599
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: the movie.

600
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right.

601
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 3: Oh just kidding, you're just down because that sounds ridiculous.

602
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 3: It just sounds dumb as ill do people say it

603
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 3: all the time though here.

604
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 4: Nobody says that's yeah.

605
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: So I knew this was going to be the crowd

606
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: was going to be down. I think everybody that doesn't

607
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: live in Houston is up. I think it's great. You're

608
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: probably right.

609
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: I already pro everybody in Atlanta says nobody calls it

610
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: hot Atlanta. Yeah, and everybody from out of Atlanta calls

611
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: it hot, so it's much the same thing.

00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 4: Damn.

Speaker 4: Yeah, Jeff Bagwell is that guy legend.

623
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,959
Speaker 3: I played first base as a youngster, so of course

624
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 3: I tried the line the wide stands.

Speaker 4: it's like this abstract thing. Okay.

658
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 5: In and out is like an abstract restaurant. It's not

659
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 5: a real it's a rush. It's all everyone's fighting for sake.

661
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: had it before. And we actually went today. We had

662
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: a little time before the show.

663
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 3: There's one just up the road, like a ten minute

664
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: walk walk, yeah, exactly. We we got got to the

665
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 3: closest when we walked, and as soon as we got

666
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 3: to the parking lot, we saw another restaurant across the

667
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 3: street that was open and we went across.

668
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: The Okay, okay, that was It.

00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: Felt like the biggest water Burger dis of all time.

670
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 3: When we were living it, I was like, this is great.

671
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: We're gonna get content. We're gonna have a nice slow

672
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 3: mo shot here of me eating.

673
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,080

674
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: across the okay I mean, and there was a no

675
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: dungs fan behind the bar. So it worked out long term.

676
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 3: But the thing I really love, huh well Cantina Barbara.

Speaker 1: Yeah, what what was your go to order at Burger?

681
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 4: You gotta go to Waterburger at like three in the morning.

682
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: So that's when the burgers are extra.

683
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 4: Get you a teketo, get you.

684
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,880

685
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: we had another m flight the water Murger for breakfast. Baby.

686
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: All right, moving on astro turf. Nobody likes astro turf

687
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: up or down. You probably were thinking, there's no way

688
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 3: they're gonna ask me if I like ask you.

689
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 4: This is crazy. But I'm actually I want to say

690
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 4: down on astro turf.

691
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 5: W It's like if you play like sports, like soccer,

692
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 5: it's it's very easy to get hurt.

693
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 4: Ye ground abstract.

694
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: At just like an In and Out Burger as an

695
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: abstract restaurant.

696
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: This is abstract grass. So okay, I'll ask a dumb question.

697
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: I assume the Astrodome had AstroTurf in it. You bet you.

698
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm up on astro turf, little swerf. Here the Toronto

699
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: Blue Jays one back to back world series also playing

700
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,320

00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: to it. Okay, okay, yeah it is dangerous.

702
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 4: I'm with you.

703
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 3: There was a Chicago Bear who blew out both of

704
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: his knees on one play because of astro turf back

705
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 3: in the day, which was bad. But you can't go. Yeah,

706
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 3: that's the that's the Here's that you don't have to mow.

707
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:50,520

716
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: woman fight over a neutral hoodeye.

717
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 4: It was awesome.

718
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: Yes, let's go. Oh my god, maybe that's the Uptown report.

719
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: But we're not done. Let's get to a let's get

720
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: to a little beach step in, guys, live beach step in. Yes,

721
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: this is where we go to answer your questions. Maybe

722
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: you got a question for Kelly the Rockets, but the NBA.

723
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: We'll get Jeromes mic working here. I don't think it's

724
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have to yell at it. Okay, what

725
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. Here we go. So if you have

726
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: a question, put your hand up and just stand up.

727
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: We'll point at you and you'll yell at us. Go ahead.

728
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: Why he's from San Antonio, everybody relaxed, respect respect right, Okay, okay,

729
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: who would you like to see? I'll repeat the questions

730
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: for some of the people listening. Uh so, yeah, who

731
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: would you like to see on the rockets to sort

732
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: of guide them to win? Some veteranship Maybe not hard that.

733
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 5: I know if first people were kind of clamoring for

734
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 5: like a Patrick Beverley type, just because of that mentality

735
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 5: he brings. But I do think and Pat Bev is

736
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 5: always gonna be loved to Houston.

737
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 4: Ye, but I do think that Mike.

738
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 5: Conley would be a hand in glove because he's such

739
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 5: a smooth, cool operator. He understands what guys need to

740
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 5: do to be in a chance to win. And I

741
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 5: think for a team like Houston, if you're not going

742
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 5: to have, you know, an all star type name like

743
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 5: a Van Fleet or you know, like a James Harden type,

744
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 5: you do need a guy that's been there and done

745
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 5: that to kind of get guys organized. So I think Conley,

746
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 5: Pat Bev those kind of guys.

747
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 4: Who have been looking for it.

748
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 5: Could have been Lonzo, but you know he's hope he

749
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 5: gets better.

750
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: Don't don't get that have Lonzo for sure, no problem.

751
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, I agree with you.

752
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 3: Conley great connector, Patrick Beverley, great connector. They both had

753
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: an impact for the Balls and the Wolves, respectively.

754
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: Let's get another question here, right yeah, fine, go ahead?

755
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 4: Yo.

756
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 9: Oh shit, Kelly, this is your life.

757
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Kevin Porter Jr. You have not named him once

758
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: on this stage. Surely, no, no, no, no, for sure, for

759
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: sure right right.

760
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 5: I think I don't think he's a point guard. I

761
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 5: think I think he can be a six man. I

762
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 5: think he can be a great, a good wing score

763
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 5: because he does know how to score.

764
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 4: He is athletic.

765
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 5: He still struggles with efficiency and you know, defense, not

766
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 5: kind of intangibles, but he is a good enough player

767
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 5: to where if he's not tasked with doing everything every

768
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 5: time I'm down the floor for everyone else, he can

769
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 5: have that pressure off.

770
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 4: Of his shoulders and just revert to scoring.

771
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 5: And he can still make those passes to make those

772
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 5: secondary tertiary reads, and he can still be a contribute

773
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 5: on on a good team. But he needs a lot

774
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 5: of veterans around him, because, as you've seen, when you

775
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 5: try and be the guy and have everything on you,

776
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 5: it's not gonna look great. So he might not be

777
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 5: the point out of the future, but he still has

778
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 5: a place on this team.

779
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 4: He can have his team.

780
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 3: Is he like the most divisive guy on the Rockets

781
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 3: as a player, because I feel like I.

782
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: Christian Wood. Oh that's a good question. Okay, Christian Wood,

783
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: you would say but this year.

784
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 4: But this year, I wouldn't call it divisive.

785
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 2: Uh.

786
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 5: He's definitely grown a bit in terms of his maturity

787
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 5: from last year.

788
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 4: For sure.

789
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 5: There haven't been too many of those you know incidents,

790
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,959
Speaker 5: what you hear of, you know, like last year where

791
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 5: they got suspended for a game. He hasn't been that

792
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 5: kind of guy, and I think that's credit to him

793
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 5: for trying to dig deep and look eternally and trying

794
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 5: to get better and prove himself. He's young, He's a

795
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 5: kid totally, and you know, as a young player in

796
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 5: this league, when you around losing so much, it kind

797
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 5: of has a trickle down effect on everything else you do.

798
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 5: So getting other guys in that have been there and

799
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 5: can help bring that culture up, we'll do wonders for him.

800
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: Person. Good question, Good question. Let's go front row astros. Oh,

00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,799

Speaker 5: Fand still I would assume Jayleen. Oh Ja, Yeah, I

815
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 5: would assume Ja. But there are there are still some

816

00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: H of course, Elijah.

818
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 5: Like I saw a Chandler Parsons jersey the other Days jersey.

819
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 4: I was always confused.

820
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: Don't get that guy on Astro turf Man smile.

Speaker 1: Okay, good one. We'll go Rockets shirt there.

824
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, yep, yeah, okay.

825
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: When was the last time you felt nervous? It was

826
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: a wild story you just shared crazy story. But the

827
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 1: last time you felt nervous around a player and you're nervous,

828
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday.

829
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 4: I had to talk to Lebron for the story I'm

830
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 4: working on about.

831
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: Well, hold on, let me get that for you there.

832
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 4: Let me pick that.

833
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: Lebron's pretty good name. Yeah, I put that in your bucket.

834
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: Not bad.

835
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just talked to Lebron for this story I'm where.

836
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 5: It's actually on Jabbar's defense. So, so the theme is

837
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 5: this year, I've been asking some of the league's best

838
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 5: defenders for advice on how to go from you know,

839
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 5: bad to good to great. Right, So talk to Draymond Green,

840
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 5: talked to Myles Turner, talked to Marcus Smart, so Bridges,

841
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 5: McCall bridges.

842
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 4: But I still was.

843
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 5: Missing one guy, and who better than Lebron James. So

844
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 5: I not to wait because you know, they blew them out,

845
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 5: they're leaving, trying to stop them. He kind of turned,

846
00:41:54,960 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 5: what's so, you know I never interviewed Lebron. You know,

847
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 5: he's such a that kind of figure.

848
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, he walks into a room and it's

849
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: like everybody stops.

850
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

851
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,720
Speaker 5: I did my thing, but I was nervous, as Hill Wow,

852
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 5: so that was yesterday.

853
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: Okay, did he give you a good answer?

854
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 4: Yeah?

855
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 3: So you probably loved being asked about like something technical

856
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 3: basketball work, right, Like not about being the best scorer

857
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 3: or trying to get into the playoffs, actually about basketball.

858
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 3: What about you?

859
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: TK? Is anyone coming to mind.

860
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was like nerves or anxiety

861
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 3: or excitement, but I remember being like so excited when

862
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 3: Candace Parker came to our studio for the first time.

863
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 3: She's one of the all time great Chicago basketball players.

864
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 3: Like we were in high school about the same time.

865
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: I went to college a few miles up the road,

866
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 3: so I saw her play in high school. She became

867
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 3: a legend in the nca double as there you go,

868
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 3: go Valls, became a legend playing in the WNBA, and

869
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 3: then she started like doing media stuff at Turner. So

870
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 3: she came through our studio once upon a time. I

871
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 3: just remember being like, I can't believe we have Candace

872
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 3: Parker here.

873
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: She's like, could be the goat. She's my goat.

874
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 3: Maybe not everybody else's, but that was one of the

875
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 3: most exciting guest I thought we ever had.

876
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, my answer will be the first player we ever

877
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: interviewed Tass and I in a subway sandwich shop Tony Parker,

878
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: and he was great, don't get me wrong, but like

879
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: we were shitting ourselves, like and it was so weird

880
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 1: and we're asking him about his favorite subway sandwich and

881
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: my hair is cret it's it's a wild clip. But yeah,

882
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: most honestly, I will. I mean, you can speak to

883
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: this better than we could because you speak to more players,

884
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: but they aren't really easy to talk to. I think

885
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys in the league in a sense,

886
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: like you're not nervous.

887
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

888
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: Also, I'm older than all the u It's like, why

889
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 1: am I nervous? It's weird.

890
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 3: Do you have you ever had a good locker room

891
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 3: running somebody mad about something you wrote?

892
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, actually yeah, no, no.

893
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 3: Boba, there's nothing bad a yeah.

894
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 5: But uh, I think a couple of years ago, it

895
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 5: was after the the Rockets had lost to the Wars

896
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 5: and think it was twenty nineteen, and you know Clinkapillow

897
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 5: at the time, he had his car vandalized by some

898
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 5: very passionate fans and it was crazy because they they like,

899
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 5: they vandalized the car, but they didn't take anything.

900
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 4: From the car like kind of sending the message.

901
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 5: So you know, I reported on that and I got

902
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 5: a very immediate and swift response.

903
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 1: Really yeah, and what was the read like, just don't

904
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: like put my no, No it was from him? Was

905
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: it was just from the rocket? Yeah, so it's just

906
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: like this just looks bad.

907
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 5: It was like it's a legal thing and it's a

908
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 5: whole like like I understood it, gotcha, you know, I

909
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 5: was just doing my job just yeah, right, and it

910
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 5: was actually trying to you so what but yeah, like me,

911
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 5: the good thing about my standing with the team is

912
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 5: that I've built these relations for a long time. So

913
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 5: even if I write something bad like critical, it's not

914
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 5: coming from a meat like It's coming from an objective place,

915
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 5: right understand Like you know, if they played a shitty

916
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 5: game or something like that and I talk about it,

917
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 5: they know where it's coming from.

918
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to just bash them for no reason.

919
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

920
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: You've been there through thick and thing. Yeah, you got

921
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: the relationships right.

922
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 5: So because it didn't like if I just go out

923
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 5: and say, oh, these guys will suck every day, Yeah,

924
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,000

Speaker 1: I'm reading about the Pistons and Rockets because you guys

930
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: are such great talented writers, not because they're winning games, like,

Speaker 4: Wait wait wait say it again.

938
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: Say that question again. Where would like where would you?

939
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: Where would they hang the Kelly Eco jersey? Because like

940
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: you frequent that place a lot or you're such a

941
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 1: good yeah, diehard patron.

942
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 4: Bank of America.

943
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 1: You go in, who goes into a bank? That's crazy man,

944
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: and all that on your phone.

945
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 4: Now, I value the person's a person.

946
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: Experience respect the Bank of America. That's awesome, that's a

947
00:46:59,560 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: good que.

948
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, I've become close to being a regular

949
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 3: at two places, one called folk Art and one called Scimps.

950
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 3: So either of those two places, I'm either getting a

951
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 3: cheese steak or a room and it just depends.

952
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: Okay. I said this on a podcast recently, and I

953
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: didn't like it. The Classic Factory JD's garage to my house,

954
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: there's a McDonald's right in the middle, and I'm done

955
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: work right around lunch every day and it takes a

956
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: lot of willpower to not go through that drive through,

957
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: but of course I do every once in a while,

958
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: and they always say to me, we'll see you tomorrow.

959
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, So I'm like gonna peek in there.

960
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: My jersey's gonna be hanging in a McDonald's between my

961
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: house and JD's. So that's my answer. Good question, good questions,

962
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: good question. Yeah, do a couple more if anybody's got them,

963
00:47:48,440 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: wait in the sort of back there. Yeah, okay, So

964
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 1: I'll just say it for everybody listing of the three

965
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: Texas teams. We're talking Spurs, we're talking Rockets, we're talking MAVs,

966
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: who are amazingly out of the play in right now. Yeah,

967
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: which of those three is set up for the best

968
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: and brightest future.

969
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 4: Wow, I think here, I think.

970
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: Houston, Okay, we go, there, we go.

971
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 5: I think if you have you know, sixty million in

972
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 5: cap space and you have a potential top three pig,

973
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 5: you have a bunch of young guys that are talented.

974
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 4: They just need some molding, I think you do have

975
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 4: a better future.

976
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 5: Than a team like Sanntwini was kind of stuck in

977
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 5: the mud with the rebuilding, a team like Dallas, who

978
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 5: god knows.

979
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: What they're going two months ago? Dallas is the answer

980
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: now who knows? Yeah? Yeah.

981
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 5: So it's like I do think that the out of

982
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 5: all three teams, the Rockets do have the brightest future

983
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 5: of those teams.

984
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: Fair enough, who do you think is gonna win the

985
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: title this year? Who would you be? Back in the

986
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: West feels obviously wide open.

987
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 5: And it's shout out to Francis because he has, you know,

988
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 5: a podcast on But he and I have been going

989
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 5: back and forth on this, and I think at one

990
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 5: time I thought it was going to be the Warriors,

991
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 5: because how could you be that.

992
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 4: Team four times? Right now I think I'm leaning Phoenix.

993
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:17,959
Speaker 4: I think.

994
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: They look good one drip place, it.

995
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 3: Looks unstoppable, go to defense somehow, so son.

996
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: Who would you have from the East? Who would you

997
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: have coming out of the East? Kelly?

998
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 5: I mean Milwaukee is the sexy answer, but don't forget

999
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 5: what Boston can do to those guys.

1000
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: All right, so Sun Celtic's action here in the finals,

1001
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 1: let's do let's do one more? Yeah over here, Houston shirt.

1002
00:49:59,520 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1003
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: Facts question, what's your.

1004
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 4: Two years? You know what I'm saying.

1005
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: Okay, young young player, let's say to two years or less.

1006
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: That is a hell of a prospect.

1007
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 4: Damn, that's a good question.

1008
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: Players, they have some good players.

1009
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 5: I like Caid, I like Caid, I like Bank Carrol

1010
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 5: he's injured, that's cool. You know what I'm gonna go.

1011
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 4: Walker Kessler.

1012
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: Building Rob Walkers that coming. Take it to the bank, Kelly, America,

1013
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: take you to do Wow?

1014
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like.

1015
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 5: I just love the way he can control a defense

1016
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 5: at that young age, and at the center position.

1017
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 4: That's the most important part of it.

1018
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 5: Setting a defensive scheme of the center has to be

1019
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 5: defensively viable. So if you know Walker Kestler, obviously he's

1020
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 5: still pretty raw, but we've seen enough this year to

1021
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 5: say this guy can be the backbone of.

1022
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 4: A good defensive team.

1023
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 5: Sir, just continue to build around him the ad guys

1024
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 5: that can do other stuff.

1025
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: Like he immediately gives your team an identity, no doubt

1026
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: about that. That's a good answer. Who you got probably

1027
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: Boncaro for me.

1028
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I just think he came into the

1029
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 3: league as a guaranteed number one guy.

1030
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: Look the part right away.

1031
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:36,240
Speaker 3: He's obviously had some troubles with a longer season, lost

1032
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 3: the jumper about halfway through, but the way he can

1033
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 3: get to the foul line as a rookie feels like

1034
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 3: he's already played five years in the NBA, not to

1035
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 3: mention he's humongous handles the ball. I think he's an

1036
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 3: incredible player to me, probably the best guy out of

1037
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 3: the last couple of drafts.

1038
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 1: But maybe it shouldn't be a hot take.

1039
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 3: That a defensive center would be the building block, because like,

1040
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 3: if you have a defensive center, your team is going

1041
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 3: to be good. And there have been so many not

1042
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,439
Speaker 3: super skilled guys who have had it so a huge

1043
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 3: impact on that end of the court that it's probably

1044
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 3: they are overlooked for a guy like Jalen Green who's

1045
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 3: got sexy handles, right, and you're just like, okay, he

1046
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 3: can cook.

1047
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he could be a superstar someday.

1048
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 3: But the guy who is actually an all defensive player,

1049
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 3: that's a worthy bet.

1050
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: I'll go Scottie Barnes play the Homer card here. Yeah,

1051
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean I think he's had obviously lulls and lows

1052
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: and trying to find a spot with the Raptors. But man,

1053
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: the games where he is on his whole thing is

1054
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: like he's like half a sleep sometimes for a quarter

1055
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: and then it like clicks in and he just takes

1056
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: over a game. So as a young guy, I think

1057
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 1: it's pretty promising. But we'll end with that one. Guys,

1058
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: give it up for Kelly Eco killing it. Make sure

1059
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,800
