66
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: where we always do it.

67
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: Big Bang.

68
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: There was a second delay, but he's there. Sponsored by

69
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: our good friends at DraftKings where we do some of

70
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: the odds and we teach you the odds and all that.

71
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: And so our question today from DraftKings is which conference

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: is the favorite to win the NBA title next year?

73
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: So you get all the teams from the East or

74
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: all the teams from the West, which conference do you

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: believe is the favorite to win it all next year?

76
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: And what's the odds on that?

77
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: Well, now you have to guess what the odds are

78
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: gonna be. So you guess, and then I'll tell you

79
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: the odds.

80
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: I we'll go Western.

81
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: The West is plus one hundred, bet one hundred, you win.

82
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, go well, I know what it means now, okay,

83
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: plus one hundred with me and I bet one hundred,

84
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: win one hundred.

85
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: Okay, So this one's tough.

86
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 3: Bon on could it be minus one hundred?

87
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: So the East is minus one twenty.

88
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: So that means if I explain.

89
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: That one minus one twenty means you have to bet

90
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: one twenty to win one hundred.

91
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: Adam, I'm glad I got I'm gonna be a DraftKings

92
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: expert because of you. I never knew what all that

93
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: stuff meant.

94
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: And that means that the Eastern Conference is actually the

95
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: favorite because you have to bet more money. Now if

96
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: you bet one hundred, I think it'll be something like.

97
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: You win eighty. Okay, but the.

98
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference because because Boston is the favorite, they're the

99
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: favorites to win it all. Do you agree with that?

100
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: I actually do. I never understood it, but I do

101
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 3: agree with I know people like Boston in the East,

102
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: but I'm thinking Denver is gonna make some noise.

103
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: So you would actually bet on the West.

104
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm a bet on the West because Denver Phoenix

105
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: a lot of teams, and then you got the and

106
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: then you got the all hype teams. Yep, Minnesota.

107
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: As that has repeated and three repeated. When you look

108
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: at this Boston team, do you see a team that

109
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: might be poised to repeat?

110
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 3: No, because even though they have the championship, see I

111
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 3: would like to see And the reason why I said

112
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 3: the other day was a boring finals, and it really

113
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: was because when you When Boston won, they had to

114
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 3: go through all the tough teams. Okay, you don't beat

115
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: all the teams in your conference, but now you face

116
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: the mightiest of the other conference. Boston had it easy.

117
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: It's not their fault, not their fault. I don't care

118
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 3: they won. However, I would have liked to see them.

119
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: New York was banged up.

120
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, new York had banged so but they they want it,

121
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: they want a square. But there's still a lot of

122
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: dollars sow.

123
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: Your reasoning is Boston still very talented, but their road

124
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: will likely not be as easy next year.

125
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: Their road was too easy. So when their road stiffens

126
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 3: up and they don't win, then we could really then

127
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: that statement will be verified. Now if they win next

128
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 3: year with all these with all these teams, healthy got

129
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: to give them their respect. But you know how us

130
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 3: haters and as commentators do. Okay, you got one win,

131
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: two win two, So if so, if you want to

132
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: impress me, I'm impressed by this year, but this year

133
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 3: is alreadys over. So if you want to impress me, so,

00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: quick and utter extinction. The middle part the spinning dimes,

161
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: the definition of next. This man went to China and

162
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: left the earthlings perplexed. Few years later, three titles, two statues,

163
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: and suddenly the haters don't know where their doubts are buried.

164
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: Let's get our hands fucking together on the big pod

165
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,240

Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neill is ripping down the Atlanta Highway right now

168
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: at about one hundred and twenty miles an hour in

169
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: a hellcat.

188
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: China's been amazing, man, It's been a great experience having

189
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: an opportunity to go abroad to do something completely different

190
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: from what we're normally used to seeing professional athletes do.

191
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 2: Having that opportunity to be able to do that has

192
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: been It's been super rewarding, and I'm deeply humble that

193
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: gave me the opportunity to be able to live in dislight,

194
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 2: to be able to experience all of what I've been

195
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: able to experience, to be able to share, to be

196
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: able to have this conversation to talk with you guys

197
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: about China. You know what I'm saying. Who would have

198
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: thought that these type of conversations will be taking place

199
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: in the now?

200
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: All right, Stefan, we have a big break question from

201
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: the general, because of course, where there's Shack, there's the general.

202
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: What was the breakout moment in China when you realize

203
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: you were the man there who What was the moment

204
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: where you went, damn, I am him in this country?

205
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: You know what?

206
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: I never felt like I was him. I always felt

207
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: like there's more. And I think after we won the

208
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: after we wont my third championship, when he built the

209
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: museum on the main road of Beijing, which is the

210
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: most expensive road on the earth, five kilometers away from

211
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: Tenement Square. When he did that at the Beijing Post Office,

212
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: and when he made that, that's when I was like,

213
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: this is a little different. They literally start sending people

214
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: from America to film film what was going on. They

215
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: were like, Yo, this is like your building a shrine.

216
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 2: And I'm like, what are you talking about. It's like

217
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: you got a cold following going on right now. I'm like, nah,

218
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 2: this is all love right here. So you know when

219
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: that happened, that's when I was like, this is this

220
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 2: is a little.

221
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: When when he came into the league and he got

222
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: paired out with KG, because I know that you're someone

223
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: that loves that perfect combination of big and guard you

224
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: and Penny, You and Kobe. What did you think of

225
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: their connection?

226
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: It was scary, very scary. The only time you don't

227
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 3: get really scared is because the supporting casts wasn't there yet.

228
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 3: I want to disrespect them. They are really good players.

229
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: But they they could always make the playoffs, but they

230
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 3: they weren't there yet and mine wasn't there yet either.

231
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: So but a guy like him and they can get

232
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: open anytime and get his shot, and he got the

233
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 3: New York Flare definitely got to worry about a mean,

234
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: little skinny dude like KG that want to fight everybody

235
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: and talk and could step out and played the new wavement.

236
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: So they were done every time we played. It was

237
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 3: a tough matchup, let me say that. But you know

238
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 3: we got them because they had Rashad McCants and all

239
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 3: those guys sticking me in, you know, but they if

240
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 3: I think, I think, if you you put them to

241
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 3: with three or four veterans that have been there before,

242
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: and you know, they definitely win a championship.

243
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: What did you think of their swag as someone that was.

244
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 3: Crazy and then because you know it was it was

245
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 3: different swags sort of like sort of like me and

246
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 3: Penny Marlburry New York and to be to be to

247
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 3: be a guard in New York is tough. You're gonna

248
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: get Felipe Lopez and all it, but so to make

249
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 3: a name in New York is touched up. We got

250
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 3: a name coming out of New York.

251
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: You can play.

252
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 3: And KG was just different because big man. But he

253
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: started doing stuff that a big guy like me wasn't

254
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 3: used to. He used to going out guarding the guy

255
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 3: every possessions. And then and then he was mean and

256
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 3: he was from the hood and he had that dog

257
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 3: in him. Very very difficulty to play. And and and

258
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 3: we got lucky a few times because you know, they

259
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 3: him and Derek Fischer. Heat would kill Derrick Fisher. KG

260
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: would kill our kill. But you know, the edge would

261
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 3: come like I had a Rick Fox, I had a beach.

262
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 3: Shall guys been in twelve thirteen years extra stuff, so

263
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 3: they were definitely dangerous and you know scary. This episode

296
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: I live in Brooklyn. I took my six month old

297
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: son last week to Coney Island to go to the aquarium.

298
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: And so I thought about your journey. And here you

299
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: are New York, most diverse place like in the world,

300
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: and then you go to Georgia Tech, which is predominantly

301
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: African American, predominantly black. Then you go to Minnesota, where

302
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: it's like all white people, and then you're in China,

303
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: where you're like the fewest of the few. And as

304
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: I thought about that, I feel like you have a

305
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: really unique perspective on interacting with human beings. I feel

306
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: like you've seen everything. You've seen adoration, You've seen people

307
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: cast aspersions on your name. You've been a majority, you've

308
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: been a minority. What do you think you've learned just

309
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: about humans over this journey?

310
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: Growth People are still unpredictable from the good and the bad. Instinctively,

311
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: people tend to grasp towards what's actually been told as

312
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: a whole, opposed of thinking for themselves and I think

313
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: for me my journey, you know, I went, as you said,

314
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 2: I went from New York, where it's basically a Meltain

315
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: pie culchurally. You know, you got Black, White, Chinese, Puerto Rican,

316
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 2: you got all different races that come from out of

317
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 2: New York. And then to go to Atlanta where it's

318
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: predominantly black, but still white people there as well, was

319
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 2: you know normal because I was I was used to

320
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: that vibe. I was used to being, you know, interacting

321
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: with a bunch of black people at once, but not

322
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: as many, you know, going into Atlanta where it's like yo,

323
00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 2: it's really down south, and then go to Minnesota where

324
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: it's predominantly white, six percent white people. You know, that

325
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 2: was a big culture shock moment for me because all

326
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: of those different things happened in a short period of time,

327
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: and me leaving New York, going to Atlanta and then

328
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: staying in school for only like four or five months,

329
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: and then going into the NBA, going into Minnesota. So

330
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 2: you know, that was that was a big challenge, was

331
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: a super big thing for me because I wasn't used

332
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: to it. It was something that was completely different from

333
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: the norm of how I lived my life. So yes,

334
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 2: It was definitely a culture shock moment. Not saying the

335
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: people were great, people were amazed and the fans were great,

336
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: but just going from one environment to another environment within

337
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 2: a four month frame, four to five month frame, it was.

338
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: It was. It was a big challenge.

339
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: I it's crazy to me that you and KG were

340
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: the same class of high school and then during the

341
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: draft you get traded for Ray Allen, you go to

342
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota and then you team up with him. KG is

343
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: somebody that you really need to prove to him went

344
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: just on a human level that he should respect you

345
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: for that equal respect. And I was curious, was it

346
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: like that between you two from the jump? Were you

347
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: guys always in sync? Because I feel like if you

348
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: are not in line with KG, he will he will

349
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: motherfuck you to the end of your time. When you

350
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: look back at that dynamic, it seems like this awesome

351
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: buddy cop duo. But what do you look back and

352
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: remember the most about it?

353
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: We just I would just go with what my mom says.

354
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: She said, Stephan, ain't nobody you and Kevin y I

355
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: had the best chemistry. Nobody you know had better chemistry

356
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: than you guys on a basketball court, and you know,

357
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 2: playing with keV, it was like, you know, playing with

358
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 2: my mind on a court, Like he knew what I

359
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 2: wanted to do, and I knew what he wanted to do.

360
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: He knew when to throw me to basketball. I knew

361
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: when to throw him to basketball. I knew when he

362
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 2: wanted to go. He knew when I was going. You know,

363
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 2: it was just we just knew. We just we just

364
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 2: had that vibe. We had that that chemistry on a

365
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: court where you know when you when you when you're playing,

366
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 2: you don't have to think, you know what I'm saying,

367
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 2: You could just throw the basketball and it's like you know,

368
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: when you throw the basketball to a WI receiver, you

369
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: know he's going to be there because that's the route,

370
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying on the court. We just

371
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 2: we just knew what to do on the court. If

372
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: it didn't and it was right away, it clicked right away.

373
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: It wasn't like it took time. It was already automatic.

374
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: One of my favorite advertisers that you work with is

375
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: Carnival Cruise Lines, and I have a perfect itinerary that

376
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: I've planned and I want to write it by you,

377
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: But first I'm curious what was your most memorable Caribbean vacation.

378
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: I know you're a man that loves the Caribbean. Was

379
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: there one that stands out the most?

380
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 2: You know?

381
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 3: It's crazy about the carnival cruise lines. I'm on it

382
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: all the time and people don't even see me.

383
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: What do you hide in the smoke stack?

384
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 3: No? You know, first of all, I can't hide. Okay,

385
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: so you know, I uh, I'm the I'm the master

386
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 3: of being invisible. For example, if you live in a

387
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: town that's busy, you don't go outside when it's not busy. No,

388
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 3: if you live in the town that's super busy, don't

389
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: go outside.

390
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: When it's no busy. Crazy Okay Yah.

391
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: My point is I always I don't sneak on because

392
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: I can. I walk on and I stay in my room.

393
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: I watch movies, and then around eleven or twelve, everybody's sleep.

394
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: I'll walk around, go eat, I go play some ball.

395
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: I'll stay out a couple hours, go to my room

396
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 3: at two, wake up at six. I'm I'm at my

397
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 3: destination in Miami and I live in the Bahama, so

398
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 3: people don't I probably only got caught twice being on

399
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 3: the ship, but I'm owner ship all the time.

400
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: So everyone out there, if you take carnival cruise lines,

401
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: there's there is a bamas.

402
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: There is a.

403
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: Chance will be walking around at weird times. I like that, okay, so.

404
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 3: And I always got one of these in my hand too.

405
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: Baby that a little carnival yetti my cool refreshing drinks.

406
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: So if I planned out the perfect carnival cruise vacation,

407
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: itinerary first from what I saw, I want to start

408
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: my fun on bolt the words, the world's first roller

409
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: coaster at sea. Have you been on this roller coaster?

410
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 3: I cannot fit on the roller coaster, but I've seen it.

411
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 3: I've seen it at the beginning. I've seen people ride it.

412
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: It's very enjoyable. I wish I could ride on a

413
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 3: roller coature, but wait, gravity wouldn't want to do it.

414
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: You ever been on one in your whole life?

415
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 3: No, of course I've been on it. Like I'm saying, like,

416
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 3: once I hit that three hundred pound mark, which was

417
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: like third or fourth of year, I had to stop riding.

418
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: So after that I would go paddle boarding through the

419
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: crystal clear waters of Half Moon Key, get a little

420
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: bit of armwork out him. Then I jump off of

421
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: a catamaran and I'm gonna snorkel through the clear waters

422
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: and turks and CaCO shack. That sounds pretty good. Ooh,

423
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: he's got the glasses so you can see through the water.

424
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 1: After all that shack you're gonna need, I'm gonna get

425
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: my sandwich fixed at the Big Chicken restaurant on board.

426
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: You have Big Chicken on the Carnival cruise line.

427
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: I will have Big Chicken, but I'm not gonna be

428
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 3: selfish the there's a lot of great restaurants on there.

429
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: Choose anyone, choose fun. Make sure you choose Carnival, baby.

430
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: And then afterwards, I'm gonna go get some laughs at

431
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: punchline or comedy club. I didn't realize there was a

432
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: comedy club on the Carnival cruise lines, with endless options

433
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: to choose from. No one does fun like Carnival.

434
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 3: That's Carnival CFO. That's short for Chief Front Officer. It's

435

Speaker 3: blissful relaxation at Cloud nine, spy venture off ship and

440
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: explore ancient mind ruins, or just kick back and do

441
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 3: nothing at all on the pristine white sand Caribbean beaches.

442
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 3: Take an ATV ride through the jungle, or dive into

454
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: You know, after spending you know, thirteen years in the NBA,

455
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: learning about earthlings, as you said, learning about different people,

456
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 2: learning about how people operating, how they think, how they feel,

457
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: how they move, the intellect withinside of humans, learning about

458
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 2: how people formulate their thoughts about their opinions that they

459
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: have from what they saw, like learning about how people,

460
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 2: you know, made these evaluations and calculated so calculated. And

461
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: then going to China, big whirlwind, big whirldwind, because now

462
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, you went from you went from New

463
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: York to Atlanta, Atlanta and Minnesota. Now you going someplace

464
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 2: where they don't speak the same language as you. So

465
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: how about that, buddy, Let's see you figure that one out,

466
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 2: you know. And I think for me coming to China,

467
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: it was more of like at that time, me having

468
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 2: an opportunity to be able to find myself, learn about myself,

469
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 2: grow within myself, and in that process, you know, when

470
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:31,959
Speaker 2: I came to China, I literally was like I just

471
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: want to play basketball because I was at that point

472
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: because I was in such a disarray of so many

473
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: different moving pieces with the next and going to Boston,

474
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: you know, not being able to perform doing how I

475
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: wanted to perform, and then not playing for a while,

476
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 2: and now I'm getting an opportunity to play. So when

477
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: I got here, I was super depressed. I was basically,

478
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 2: you know, in a space where I didn't want to

479
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: play basketball. You know, a lot of things weren't going

480
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 2: in the way how I had won it. So I

481
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: was like, man, you know, I'm getting this opportunity to

482
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: go play basketball in China, and here I am, you know,

483
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: amongst people who I can't communicate with, but they showing

484
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 2: me mad love. You know what I'm saying. From the

485
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: moment that I landed, the moment that I got to China,

486
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 2: it was nothing but love. And it's been that way

487
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: ever since.

488
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: It's I remember, I remember that entire movement. I remember

489
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: everything on U stream. I read an article on like

490
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: the New York Times from those years ago when you

491
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: went on u stream and they literally documented everything you

492
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: said that It was like he said he liked bugs

493
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: Bunny more than whatever. And now everybody is going live

494
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: all the time, but we had never seen an athlete

495
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: going live, and it I remember it was it like

496
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: you stream dot TV and I just.

497
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 2: Felt like you did justin TV first, which is twitch

498
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: on Gosh, and then then then I went to I

499
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: went to U stream, and I went to u stream

500
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 2: because the dude justin he didn't want to play ball

501
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: with me, and I was like, all right, well I'll

502
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: go on another platform. That's funny, unbelievable.

503
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you were figuring out platforms before people

504
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: even knew they existed, and now it's a billion dollar industry.

505
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 2: Trill, I got.

506
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 6: A right. So my man, my little brother hot Son,

507
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 6: he told me that his grandmother, who's almost one hundred

508
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 6: years old, show him. When you can't get your voice back,

509
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 6: take some and swallow it and it'll help you.

510
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: During that time when it when they first started popping,

511
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: I was like, yo, it's like three million people watch

512
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 2: me sleep at one time. This is really gonna evolve.

513
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: And it's people were People were like Stefan Marbury is

514
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: losing his mind. He's letting people watch him sleep. And

515
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: now it's like come and watch Kay sinnat and and

516
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart sleep with ten billion.

517
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: You know. But you know at that time, you know,

518
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: I was talking to my friends and I was like,

519
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: I'm not doing anything that other people won't do. This

520
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: will be part of everyone's lives eventually, and as we

521
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: see it now, but you know, not everyone was clairvoyant

522
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 2: enough to actually go into that space to actually feel

523
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: or think that way. Doing that time frame of when

524
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: all of what was going on, but the people who

525
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: were creating the platforms like, it's one guy that really

526
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: is doing this stuff, and nobody could actually tell me

527
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: what to do because it wasn't like I was trying

528
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: to utilize it in a way to basically monetize and

529
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 2: you know the old stud I was just doing it

530
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: because it was a platform where I can control my

531
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: own narrative and I could speak my own truth about

532
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: what was actually going on. So that's why I was crazy.

533
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 2: I was crazy because I was eating vasoline. I said, dude,

534
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 2: your mom smoke cracked and your popstick heroin in his arm.

535
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: You're talking about me eating vasoline. I was like, nah,

536
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: so you know doing it. So I was like, yeah,

537
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 2: if you think that I'm crazy because I'm crying because

538
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: I'm listening to a gospel song and my dad just

539
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 2: passed away, I was like, okay, so I'm crazy for that.

540
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: I was like, you got guys crying because they lost

541
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: the championship in the game, in the basketball game, But

542
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: you say that I'm crazy, I'm like, okay, So you know,

543
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: I think during that time, I felt like during that time,

544
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 2: people didn't know when I actually was going crazy. When

545
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 2: I was going crazy when I was laying in my

546
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: bed and I couldn't get out of my bed, and

547
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 2: you know, depressed and stuck because I had just lost,

548
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 2: you know, my coach one week, my aunt the second week,

549
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 2: and then my Pops the third week. So I lost

550
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: the person that taught all my brothers how to play

551
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: basketball and myself, my aunt, then my pops. So at

552
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 2: that time, you know, basketball wasn't It had no relevance

553
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: in my life as far as how I wanted to

554
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: live or how I was thinking or anything. I was

555
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: just like a mute. My kids was like, Dad, you

556
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 2: gotta you gotta get in it. You gotta take a

557
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 2: shower at least that come on. And I was just like,

558
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good. I'm not going over. So it

559
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 2: was the point, you know, but you know, when you're depressed,

560
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: and during that time, I didn't, I didn't feel or

561
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: think that way, but I just was sad and I

562
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 2: was hurt, and I was all of these different things

563
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 2: that come with the emotions of losing people that you love.

564
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: So you know, when I had the opportunity to actually

565
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: release from all of that, that's when I was like

566
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: moving through my depression, through all of what I was

567
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: feeling through, through not being in a position to play basketball,

568
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: not being able to sign another you know, I was

569
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 2: used to sign the max contracts. I couldn't even get

570
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 2: a contract at this time. So that is, you know,

571
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: my brands, My brand is failing. Like literally, I'm watching

572
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: it because all of what's going on. So that was

573
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,239
Speaker 2: the time when I was silent. But when I was

574
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: on Live, I was like, Oh, you think I'm crazy

575
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: right now, I'm like, Oh, you don't know what crazy is,

576
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So I was like in

577
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: a whole different mind frame in mind space as far

578
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: as moving forward in my life. And then this came out,

579
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: and that's what I really.

580
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: I never realized because everything from that Live was put

581
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: out like clips and there's no backstory, and so I

582
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: honestly didn't know until right now that the reason you

583
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: were crying.

584
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 2: Is because you lost somebody.

585
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: And I think it's very interesting that the story behind

586
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: Alan Iverson's practice rant is he lost his best friend

587
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: that day, but we didn't find that out till years

588
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: later with the documentary. So all we're seeing is two athletes,

589
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: same draft nineteen ninety six you guys played each other

590
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: at MSG like the storyline through line is crazy and

591
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: all we do is take these moments, but we don't

592
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: look at the backstory of the human behind it. And

593
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: now because the conversation has changed so much and we

594
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: actually look at the humans and not just the statistics,

595
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: now we can sit back and go, man, we misread

596
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: that completely. But you and iversire it. It was so

597
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: similar around the same time too.

598
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting because you know when people formulate

599
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 2: their opinion about how they feel and what they think

600
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 2: based upon what they were told, there's literally no stopping

601
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 2: it until something like this happens. But me, I was

602
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 2: the type. I didn't feel like. I didn't feel like

603
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 2: I didn't care enough for everybody to know that I

604
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: was listening to a gospel song and my dad passed

605
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: away and I was thinking about that. I didn't really

606
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 2: it didn't really matter to me how other people thought

607
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 2: or felt about me feeling the way how I felt,

608
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: because that's my feeling. That was my moment, and it

609
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 2: wasn't where it destruct me to where I collapsed, and

610
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: I was no about the you know, I said I

611
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 2: wanted to kill myself, but I was like I'm still here.

612
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: I didn't do it. I said, me feeling like I

613
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 2: want to kill myself and me going to kill myself

614
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 2: is completely different. So you misread me saying, yeah, I

615
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 2: feel like I want to kill myself because that's how

616
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 2: I feel because I didn't want to deal with what

617
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: it was that I was dealing with. Mental illness is

618
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 2: a real thing, and my mental at the time when

619
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 2: I lost the people who I love, that was my

620
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: feeling with my dad, and then and then when we

621
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: buried my dad. After we buried my dad, my mom

622
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: checked into the hospital and she was on her deathbed

623
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: and I was just looking at her like come on, laughing,

624
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 2: like come on, mine, there's no way you're about to

625
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 2: do this.

626
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:58,959
Speaker 3: It's like it's no way.

627
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 2: And the doctor was like, it's not really looking good.

628
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 2: And I was like what, And it was like, this

629
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: is normal when a spouse loses, when they lose a

630
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: spouse at this age, this is this is a normal

631
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 2: thing that happens. And my dad and my mom they

632
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 2: were married for over fifty years, so you know, the

633
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 2: ideology and what I grew up, you know, thinking and

634
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: learning from being in a household where I had my

635
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 2: brothers and sisters. I had my mother and father. Even

636
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: though we were in the projects, my mom and my

637
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: dad never made it feel like that. So we were

638
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: a really close net family. And then when the leader

639
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: went down, it was like you can feel the collapse, you.

640
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 6: Know what I'm saying.

641
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: And that's when, you know, I started to basically parallel

642
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: with parallel myself with you know, my family members, and

643
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 2: we pushed each other to get through what we were

644
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: going through because it was a brand new experience.

645
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: And now two decades later, your son is a preferred

646
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: walk on at cal Berkeley, one of the highest institutions

647
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: in the world. Across the country, from Coney Island, from

648
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: coast to coast. Your son is now going to be

649
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: trying to play basketball with the cow Golden Theirs.

650
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: That's insane, it is. It's great, you know, and we

651
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 2: talk about it. He just my son was just here.

652
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: We were shooting a commercial for one of the milk

653
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 2: companies here and he flew here and we were talking

654
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: about his transition into going to school, and you know,

655
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 2: he fell into a very peculiar situation with him going

656
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 2: through you know, going through COVID and then he had

657
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 2: served you on his hip. So he literally missed like

658
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 2: two or three years, like about two and a half years,

659
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 2: three years where he wasn't even able to play high

660
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 2: school basketball. So I was telling him, I'm like, dude,

661
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 2: for you to get this opportunity, one to be able

662
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: to go to CAL, one of the most prestigious schools

663
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 2: that you could possibly go to as far as academics,

664
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 2: for you to get accepted into the school one right,

665
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 2: for you to get accepted, and then for you to

666
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to be able to go play after

667
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 2: you not having the time that every other kid had

668
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 2: playing high school basketball getting ready to go to college.

669
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like, I couldn't even imagine

670
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 2: only playing three years of high school basketball. I was like, man,

671
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 2: just basically my freshman year, I missed my southomund you know.

672
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 2: So it's like, for you to get this opportunity, it

673
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 2: shows your work ethic, It shows you know that you are,

674
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 2: that you've been positioned, you know, as far as your

675
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: academics to be able to be placed in a situation

676
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 2: where you have the opportunity to go to a school

677
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 2: such as CAL. So it's like it's a blessing, you know.

678
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 2: It's a blessing and you have the opportunity. You don't

679
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 2: have any pressure. It's not like you're a kid who

680
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: got a Magian scholarship and you're top top recruiting and

681
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 2: you know what projections is for you to go top whatever.

682
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: I'm like, you're not in that situation. I was like, so,

683
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: you know, I told him when he was having it,

684
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 2: when he had his surgery. I was like, dude, you're

685
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 2: a late bloomer and I have to tell your son

686
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: that it's hard. But the reality is, if I don't

687
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 2: tell you, you won't know because you will think and

688
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 2: believe something else. So for him to be able to

689
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 2: have this opportunity to go to cal which just we're

690
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 2: super thankful, and to be able to witness it and

691
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 2: see it and to have played against these guys.

692
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: Dude now standing at seven foot one from Newark, New Jersey.

693
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: He has a doctorate from eighteen different universe.

694
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 6: Oh you hit.

695
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: Him, big fellow. What's good?

696
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 3: So I apologize. I was doing the camp for kids.

697
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 3: I started taking pictures with the kids and I didn't

698
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 3: want to leave no kids out. So I was like,

699
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 3: you know, Kenny called me Curtsey. You know you got

700
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 3: step on on the thing, so thanks, thanks for waiting

701
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 3: for me. Question. We both had the affordable shoe line.

702
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 3: I said, you're doing the glasses. Now, where'd you get

703
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: your business acumen from? Like, you know, it's crazy before

704
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 3: you answer that. Somebody asked me the other day if

705
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 3: I met Q Tip, and I'm I'm and I was

706
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 3: thinking about the superstars that I know haven't met Stefan.

707
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 3: I've been knowing you for twenty years. I think I

708
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 3: only seeing you about eight times. My brother no, which

709
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 3: is weird because you know, somebody asked me all to

710
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 3: day because you know Trump Coal question about to get

711
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 3: in on the thing. He's like, do you know Q Tip?

712
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 3: And I started thinking, I'm like, damn, I only hung

713
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 3: out with fight twice. It's two times studio and only

714
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: make youtub twice. So now that I'm thinking, Stephan, I've

715
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 3: always seen you eight times. That's that's that game.

716
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: But we kicked it. We kicked it one time with

717
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 2: your man stutter and l A. We ate that mister

718
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 2: child one night and you had you had you had

719
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: to you the first one I seen with a sprinter

720
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 2: decked out. Actually, but now we didn't. We never really

721
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: kicked it other than that one time, but I always

722
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 2: paid it close attention to everything that you you've done.

723
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: Obviously the whole planet sees that it's not it's very

724
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 2: hard not to see that. But my business actor, like

725
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 2: you know, for me, I just I always had to

726
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 2: do it from the mud. So when I did all

727
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 2: of the things that I've done, I'm trying to to scale,

728
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 2: you know, like what you did with Walmart with your shoes,

729
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: I tried to do the same thing. Obviously mine's then

730
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 2: do as well. You know, after playing and then not

731
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: playing and then coming back here, coming to China was

732
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 2: part of the next wave, the next part of me

733
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 2: bringing my brand back to America. Basically learning everything that

734
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 2: I needed to learn here in China, from sourcing, from production,

735
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 2: all of the different things I learned. It didn't know

736
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: none of that before when I first started my brand,

737
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 2: but now fully equipped to be a vertical platform, you know,

738
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: trying my heart is to be like you.

739
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate that, you know. I always somebody told

740
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 3: me something very important. One day. Everybody eats, and I

741
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 3: know they were trying to make it a competition thing,

742
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 3: but it's not a competition. There's enough like you from

743
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 3: the hood. I'm from the hood. You got a building

744
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 3: and I got a building, and we both doing the

745
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 3: same thing. That's all that mattered. So I was proud

746
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 3: of you, and I kind of almost went through what

Speaker 3: you went through. Like once I stopped playing, you know,

748
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 3: they kind of you don't think they, you know, forget

749
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 3: about yourself. I had to, you know, switch some things up,

750
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: allow myself with the bigger company, and I'm still going off.

751

Speaker 3: I'm not even sure because you know, crazy thing is

788
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 3: I didn't even ask for that. Like I'm over there

792
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 3: to the ceremony and they unveiled that day, I was like,

793
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 3: I don't believe I have a statue in China, but

794
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 3: ma Verry one too, like you have. You've had a

795
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 3: lot of success over that. Everyone say, I'm happy for you, brother,

796
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 3: I'm proud of you. And despite all the BS, you know,

797
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 3: despite all the BS they put us through, you don't

798
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 3: have a championship if you don't have a ring over here.

799
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 3: Forget all that you was a great high school player,

800
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,959
Speaker 3: you was a great college player, you was a great

801
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 3: NBA player, And I think you're Hall of Fame Worgy.

802
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 3: That's coming from the hard not just because podcast.

803
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: Right there, and then.

804
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 3: I always I always thought like that, right, but I

805
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 3: never said it. And the reason why I'm gonna start

806
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 3: saying it now because we had Ai on my podcast,

807
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 3: and you know Ai, and I asked him because you know,

808
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 3: I kind of went viral one day for saying I

809
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 3: was scared of Michael Jordan. It's not that I was scared,

810
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 3: it was like I couldn't believe I was there and

811
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 3: I did, like three hundred days earlier. This dude was

812
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 3: on the wall now, so I was kind of nervous.

813
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 3: We asked Ai, was he nervous at anybody? And without

814
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 3: no hesitation, he said, you as any player, like when

815
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 3: you first saw at your position or any position. That

816
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 3: like when you when when you first arrived in the NBA,

817
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 3: It's like, oh my god, there he is.

818
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 8: Stephan Mayon Berry Maulberry. Stepan was just so strong and

819
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 8: powerful and fact, you know what I mean, Like he

820
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 8: was cool, step step dride to bully me man.

821
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 3: And I never knew that, like I used to watch

822
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 3: your battle court. But with no hesitation. Hall of Famer,

823
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 3: the Great Ai said, I feared Stephani, my brother. So

824
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 3: when he said that, it just solidified what I said

825
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,479
Speaker 3: to you. So again I apologize for being late, my brother.

826
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 3: I'm just so proud of your national for you and

Speaker 2: got my own brand. I'm still doing my own stuff.

835
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 3: Okay, Because I would like to propose a I would

836
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 3: like to propose a Reebok versus or Shack brand versus

837
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:50,240
Speaker 3: your brand with tournament three four parts of China.

838
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: Easy. You let me know, yo Shaq, and I gotta

839
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 2: I gotta give you. I gotta give you yours too, man,

840
00:47:56,120 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 2: because what you've done for not only basketball, but for

841
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 2: the coature.

842
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 3: Man.

843
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 2: You know, you you change people's lives, man, and it's

844
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 2: it's a blessing. I know your mom, Your mom and

845
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 2: my mom they used to go to the Mother's convention

846
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 2: all the time and they used to always kick it.

847
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 2: So you know, whenever I see you, I see your mom.

848
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 2: So it's all loved. Just so you know that I

849
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 2: appreciate that, my brother, Shack.

850
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: You bring up a great point though about the Hall

851
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: of Fame, because it is the pro basketball Hall of Fame,

852
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: and we see this all the time with guys international. Well,

853
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: then we need to take in what Starbury has done

854
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: because he went over there and became one of the

855
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: greatest players in the history of the country. That should

856
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: absolutely play a role in a possible Hall of fame.

857
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 3: But I had to. I had to change my perspective

858
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 3: because you know, and and Stephan, I don't understand what

859
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 3: I'm about to say. When you were a great player,

860
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 3: you always get caught up in what they say. And

861
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 3: for some reason they based us on championships, so you know,

862
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 3: winning three in a row and went in four. Now

863
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 3: that I'm part of the club, I actually started thinking

864
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 3: like them. So I was like, oh, if you ain't

865
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 3: got no ring, you can't be a Hall of fame.

866
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 3: But Adam, I think it was you there, Perker. Now

867
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 3: I said, this is the basketball Hall of Fame, because

868
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 3: again I remember, this is no disrespect the great Bill

869
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 3: Walden rests in peace. He don't really have great legendary numbers. However,

870
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 3: if you go back to what he's done in high school,

871
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 3: in college as well as the pros, it's you know,

872
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 3: professional numbers don't matter. So when you say a guy

873
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 3: like Bill Widen as a hall of famer, I understand that.

874
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 3: And then Isaiah said the best there's two hall of fames.

875
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 3: There's a hall of fame for people like us. That

876
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 3: was a bad mofos. Shot your mouth and then as

877
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 3: a basketball Hall of Fame. So Stephon Starberry should definitely

878
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 3: be in the Hall of Fame because he was the

879
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 3: bad mofolks hurt your mouth. No, you don't have any championships.

880
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 3: A lot of guys don't have championships. But he's definitely

881
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 3: a Hall of Famer. And I hope you get in

882
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 3: and if they ever asked me, you definitely get it

883
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 3: because well because one, I'm gonna keep it real. It's

884
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,280
Speaker 3: a lot of people in there that they're in. Stefan

885
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 3: has to get in period. There ain't nothing to talk about.

886
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 2: Appreciate it.

887
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 3: Hey, mans is hard. I don't care what I said.

888
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 7: I got some new ones for you too. I got

889
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:31,280
Speaker 7: the choice too. We got ski goggles all that. Sure,

890
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 7: actually actually know what? Actually No, I don't want you

891
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 7: to order them.

892
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 2: Tell people how they can get these dot com.

893
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,240
Speaker 3: And are they on Amazon?

894
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 2: They come? They coming? Sure, they come.

895
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:53,959
Speaker 6: Now.

896
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: I want more than anything is I want to find

897
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: a way to go with Shaq to Bay and to

898
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: walk around the streets with stuff on our roll. I

899
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: feel like that would be the craziest thing to watch.

900
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 2: That's that's out of control, that's that's not They're be

901
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 2: mad at us if we did that. Police to be
