Speaker 6: It's been Monroe, Louisiana for four of those years. And
Speaker 6: it's seven and a half hour drive, so try to
Speaker 6: go once a month. So dude, I put some miles
Speaker 6: on the car.
Speaker 5: Love man love her man love.
Speaker 1: He's like, but and I told him second time, at
Speaker 1: least don't let me be naked when you have Doug. Dude,
Speaker 1: we're not there right now.
Speaker 6: We'll get to it.
Speaker 1: So, uh, she had picked our places in like Little
Speaker 1: Rock I think was an option, you like Little Rock, Texas, Memphis, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Lewis and then any far far Ones Orlando was like
Speaker 1: the furthest and that we mainly just put that because
Speaker 1: like worst case, like Disney man, yeah, Disney, I mean
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, like Disney World. So without saying
Speaker 1: it though, but she has her place, did she pick it?
Speaker 6: So we we were battling between what do you mean
Speaker 6: battling like we were like we were trying to decide
Speaker 6: where to list, like where, So you're listing in order
Speaker 6: and then they're listing in order when they kind of
Speaker 6: match them, yes, exactly, and so it already done, like
Speaker 6: have any idea say that?
Speaker 5: And Nashville was not an option.
Speaker 8: No, not for pediatrics, stupid kids, kids, all right, So
Speaker 8: go ahead, and so you're listing them, and so you
Speaker 8: are deciding on.
Speaker 5: Your order mm hmm.
Speaker 1: And in your version, what did you want to be
Speaker 1: number one?
Speaker 6: So at first I wanted it to be Memphis because like,
Speaker 6: her family's close to there, and like I'm closer to
Speaker 6: Nashville that way too, And so then we went to
Speaker 6: Saint Louis to do a second look. It was also
Speaker 6: Valentine's weekend, so we were like, we'll just also make
Speaker 6: a trip out of it, and so we went there
Speaker 6: and just the vibe of like not turning the street
Speaker 6: and worrying about your safety was a little bit better.
Speaker 1: Wait, have you been okay anyway better or better?
Speaker 6: No? Better? Though? What as far as for her going
Speaker 6: to the hospital, like when she did her like that
Speaker 6: specific block, exactly got it, okay, exactly, you drove the route, yeah,
Speaker 6: okay her, Yeah, because yeah, when she did her little
Speaker 6: rotation in Memphis, she had to like get up at
Speaker 6: like four in the morning and like literally step over
Speaker 6: homeless dudes to get to the parking lot and like.
Speaker 1: That that's okay regardless.
Speaker 6: Yeah, anyway, I hear you. Way as far as vibes is, like,
Speaker 6: it's it's an hour. It's an hour further way further
Speaker 6: away than Memphis is to Nashville, so it's like four
Speaker 6: and a half hours from here, and the like living
Speaker 6: lifestyle there like just seemed a whole lot better as
Speaker 6: far as like people were actually going out and doing stuff.
Speaker 1: And I think it was just where you were looking
Speaker 1: at that block at that time though, because you're like
Speaker 1: people had on hats. I'm like, no, dude, that's just
Speaker 1: weren't people in hats where you were. That's true. But
Speaker 1: I hear you, Yeah, so you from your experience, you
Speaker 1: like this doesn't mean picked it, but you liked, say
Speaker 1: lois over Memphis now and you guys is ranking for sure,
Speaker 1: and so but now you're wedding on their ranking to
Speaker 1: come back. Yep, exactly, and you get the rankings back.
Speaker 1: And it turns out, which, by the way, if Reid
Speaker 1: was going to live in Memphis, we're going to find
Speaker 1: a way from to You don't be here a little
Speaker 1: bit close enough, close enough. I can't be here all
Speaker 1: the time. Obviously he's got a life. It really felt
Speaker 1: like if Memphis was going to be But apparently there's
Speaker 1: a homeless person that.
Speaker 6: Shook the whole that one guy.
Speaker 1: Dang it, So what happened.
Speaker 6: So it turns out I'm going to the lou Baby,
Speaker 6: I'm going to be a cardinal.
Speaker 1: No, no, you're not going to school there.
Speaker 6: No, I'm not signing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they also have the Rims.
Speaker 6: Yeah we do get we do get tickets to the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: So you're moving to St.
Speaker 6: I'm moving to St.
Speaker 9: Louis.
Speaker 6: And dude, we've been on the freaking grind trying to
Speaker 6: find a place and it's kind of a nightmare. But
Speaker 6: we were like, do we do we buy? Do we
Speaker 6: do we rent? And so I think we're just gonna
Speaker 6: rent for for the first year and try to figure
Speaker 6: things out because I mean, no, no, we don't care
Speaker 6: about this part.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like what kind of bed do we?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Which part of wayfair? No, we're going Wait so
Speaker 1: you are when is your last day with us?
Speaker 6: Last day here would be made for some of the
Speaker 6: moving is probably going to be like that May third weekend.
Speaker 1: And how sad are you because there are sacrifices? Yeah, obviously,
Speaker 1: how sad are you because you have to leave this?
Speaker 6: I'm extremely sad because I mean as far as like
Speaker 6: like being around like you guys, and like the connections
Speaker 6: I've made and just being able to do cool stuff
Speaker 6: like freaking go to California and potentially go to a
Speaker 6: razorback game is like when when do you ever get
Speaker 6: to do that sort of stuff? So like, that's that's
Speaker 6: going to be sad, But I'm just I'm also excited
Speaker 6: to just kind of.
Speaker 1: Figure out of the super Bowl. I took him to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. I know that's three weeks ago, and

Speaker 9: a lot going on, so I can't I can't take
Speaker 9: too long to enjoy the moment.
Speaker 3: We got to hit the ground running. But I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Chuck, I believe said that when he was working as
Speaker 1: maybe it's just an sid that you're playing then for
Speaker 1: him while he was there and got to know you
Speaker 1: as a player.
Speaker 3: Is that true, that's true? Yep, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: It's just so cool to be able to wear your
Speaker 1: logo again, like again, after you've done your thing. You
Speaker 1: play ball at the highest level, played overseas, but you
Speaker 1: get to where your logo. How quickly did this come together?
Speaker 3: It was quite a long process.
Speaker 9: I knew there was a chance just with Coach Hamilton's
Speaker 9: age and Coach Hamilton's a mentor of mine, so we
Speaker 9: kept in close communication throughout the years, both when I
Speaker 9: was playing professionally overseas and in the minor leagues of
Speaker 9: the NBA, and as my coaching career got started, he
Speaker 9: was He's one of my mentors. He's a close friend
Speaker 9: of mine, so he helped me in a lot of
Speaker 9: different ways as my career began to take off in
Speaker 9: the NBA and through that, you know, naturally he's hit
Speaker 9: a point in his career where eventually you got to
Speaker 9: you got to move on to other things. And he
Speaker 9: had such a good run and so successful on and
Speaker 9: off the court, so I knew, you know, just timing wise,
Speaker 9: there could be a chance.
Speaker 3: But it's never real until it's real.
Speaker 9: So over the past you know, six months to a year,
Speaker 9: it became it began to be a little more real.
Speaker 9: And then once the actual interview process took place, you know,
Speaker 9: I felt like I got a good shot at it,
Speaker 9: and I was fortunate enough to get the job.
Speaker 3: And and here we are.
Speaker 1: Did Coach Hamilton ever just sing to you? Because he's
Speaker 1: singing to us. He put us in a room, he
Speaker 1: just let his I mean, he gave us to go
Speaker 1: to three minutes. He ever do that when you're playing
Speaker 1: with him?
Speaker 9: Yeah, So I told him one of the first things
Speaker 9: he needs to do in retirements get singing lessons because
Speaker 9: he enjoyed singing and I don't know how many people
Speaker 9: around him enjoy the singing. But he's such a kind heart.
Speaker 9: His gospel music, he's always playing music. He's got a
Speaker 9: great spirit about him. But yeah, he's gotta he's got
Speaker 9: to work on the work on the chords a little bit.
Speaker 1: Does that help you? And do you think that helps
Speaker 1: the organization? That and I hate to use the word blessing,
Speaker 1: but that there was a positive relationship and you played
Speaker 1: for coach Hamilton and now you're succeeding coach Hamilton.
Speaker 3: Yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 9: Coach Hamilton I talk almost every day since getting the job,
Speaker 9: and he's been a huge supporter both just with my
Speaker 9: mental stability.
Speaker 3: I told this story the other day.
Speaker 9: He called me a few days ago and he always
Speaker 9: checks in, Hey, how's the recruiting going. Do you need
Speaker 9: any help, do you need any relationships I can help
Speaker 9: you with? How's your staff coming along? And so I
Speaker 9: thought it was one of those calls and he said, Hey,
Speaker 9: can you send me your wife's phone number? I think
Speaker 9: I have it the same one. And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 9: why do you need Stevie's phone number? And he's like,
Speaker 9: because I want my wife to call her and just
Speaker 9: mentor her a little bit. And I'm worried about her
Speaker 9: and the kids and the transit. So that's that's the
Speaker 9: type of guy he is, right, He's he's as selfless
Speaker 9: as they come.
Speaker 3: He always cares about other people.
Speaker 9: And it's been a huge blessing, like you said, not
Speaker 9: only just just to be okay with my hire, but
Speaker 9: also to support me in a lot of different ways
Speaker 9: as a young head coach.
Speaker 1: Portal just opened up. That's that's. I live in a
Speaker 1: town called mounta Pine archis on They released the water
Speaker 1: from the dam like once a year fully and it
Speaker 1: was like, whoosh, I gotta imagine that's what day one,
Speaker 1: Day two of the Portal's like.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's a lot of preparation and legwork leading up
Speaker 9: to the portal. Right, you're having conversations with agents, with coaches,
Speaker 9: with former coaches because you can't contact the kids until
Speaker 9: they're officially in the portal, which opened yesterday at midnight.
Speaker 9: So there's a lot of preparation leading up to it.
Speaker 9: But then once this thing, like you said, it's like
Speaker 9: a damn that you can't turn it off.
Speaker 3: Right. I told this story to one of our coaches.
Speaker 9: I woke up this morning in my right elbows on fire,
Speaker 9: right just like, and I.
Speaker 3: Couldn't fare what happened.
Speaker 9: And then the first call I got, I went to
Speaker 9: put the phone to my ear and I realized I'd
Speaker 9: been on the phone for about fourteen hours a day before,
Speaker 9: and so I had to go find my EarPods because
Speaker 9: my elbows it feels it feels like a steak knife
Speaker 9: center right now.
Speaker 1: So I have what they would call tennis elbow. For
Speaker 1: playing pickleball, you have portal elbow. We need to start
Speaker 1: naming that. For coaches, you have portal elbow at this point,
Speaker 1: So correct how many hours of the day? And I
Speaker 1: appreciate you talking with the story because I know right
Speaker 1: now it's a very intense time for everyone because of that.
Speaker 1: How many hours of the day now are you talking
Speaker 1: with a player, an agent, a parent about what next
Speaker 1: season is going to look like?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's constant, and our staff are assistant coaches have
Speaker 9: done a great job lining things up, but they're constantly
Speaker 9: They'll walk in the room. I'll be on one call
Speaker 9: as soon as I finished that. Hey, we got this
Speaker 9: guy in the line. This is who it is. This
Speaker 9: is why you need to talk to him. We watched
Speaker 9: their film yesterday. You approved of the player, you think
Speaker 9: you can fit of what we're trying to build in
Speaker 9: our vision. You need to talk to him for ten minutes.
Speaker 9: And then that's just a constant back and forth. And
Speaker 9: in between, you know, you're back in your town where
Speaker 9: you played in So there's a lot of relationships, a
Speaker 9: lot of close relationships with people I care about that
Speaker 9: want to stop by the office, and so you don't
Speaker 9: want to be disrespectful. But at the same time, you've
Speaker 9: got to build a team, you know, or you're going
Speaker 9: to be kicking yourself for the next ten months that
Speaker 9: we missed out in this guy, missed out on this guy.
Speaker 9: So it's I'm going a thousand miles an hour right now.
Speaker 9: I keep using the I'm just swimming in the deep end,
Speaker 9: you know. And but I'm super grateful for the staff,
Speaker 9: my assistant coaches. They're doing a phenomenal job and without them,
Speaker 9: I couldn't get any of this done.
Speaker 1: I want to ask a culture versus a short term
Speaker 1: success question, and I'm hoping I'm asking in this in
Speaker 1: a way that comes off as somewhat intelligent. Year one,
Speaker 1: with you being the head coach of Florida State, obviously
Speaker 1: you have a culture to build, but obviously college basketball
Speaker 1: has changed where it's kind of like European basketball whe
Speaker 1: everybodys on a one year contract for lack of a
Speaker 1: better term. You have a culture you want to build,
Speaker 1: but you also need really good players. Where is your
Speaker 1: line right now of you need a certain type of player,
Speaker 1: but you also need a player that's really good that
Speaker 1: may not exactly be the culture you're looking for.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm a big believer and culture drives success, right
Speaker 9: the process of the way you do things brings the results.
Speaker 9: And any coach considering to talk about culture, and any
Speaker 9: coach considering to talk about I.
Speaker 3: Want to win this many games.
Speaker 9: But that is a daily commitment to a certain standard,
Speaker 9: a certain set of values you have starting with me
Speaker 9: and my staff and everyone in this building, and as
Speaker 9: we build this team, those are the type of players
Speaker 9: we need to bring in that we think can uphold
Speaker 9: those standards in the locker room. So Bobby, of course,
Speaker 9: there has to be a level of talent to win games.
Speaker 9: But talent can only get you so far. You know,
Speaker 9: it can only win you so many games. If the
Speaker 9: locker room is disconnected, if there's not a commitment to
Speaker 9: a championship culture, those championship results will never happen. So
Speaker 9: I'm a big believer in surrounding myself on my staff
Speaker 9: with the right people who are about the right things,
Speaker 9: and then through that, through our evaluation, through our lens
Speaker 9: gathering intel, you can tell really quickly if a kid
Speaker 9: has that and fits that or he doesn't. So those
Speaker 9: are the type of kids we're going after. Obviously there's
Speaker 9: a baseline level of talent that you have to have.
Speaker 9: But if there's a kid that's a little more talented
Speaker 9: but doesn't quite fit with what we're doing, or a
Speaker 9: kid that's a little less talented but he's a really
Speaker 9: really good character, hard working, high IQ kid, we're probably
Speaker 9: be going to go after the ladder.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be candid with you here, and I well
Speaker 1: appreciate any response you give to this. But I know
Speaker 1: in the booster world, especially when it comes to in
Speaker 1: io and collectives, and et cetera that we're all having
Speaker 1: to learn and deal with. I am a I would say,
Speaker 1: semi significant booster at the University of Arkansas. I'm not
Speaker 1: John Tyson. I don't have six million dollars to pay
Speaker 1: a coach. But there are times where, let me say
Speaker 1: this in a way, I feel like I say it
Speaker 1: that I there is money that I give to my school, right,
Speaker 1: and so it's hey, can you help here?
Speaker 3: Can we help?
Speaker 5: There?
Speaker 1: Are you having to create new relationships for that new
Speaker 1: part of college basketball now, specifically when it comes to
Speaker 1: making sure these players get in.
Speaker 3: I owe money first, Bobby, I don't.
Speaker 9: I don't know if I could sense a little bit
Speaker 9: of hesitation in your voice. But if Arkansas is not
Speaker 9: treating you right, you can always come over to Florida State.
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm telling you basketball, I treating me a good football,
Speaker 1: streaming me good basketball and treat me like crap. But
Speaker 1: I hear you, Thank you, Gus.
Speaker 9: If there's any level not satisfact just coming on the course, State,
Speaker 9: You're welcome anytime.
Speaker 3: But no, it's it's been. It's been. Uh, it's been good.
Speaker 9: That there's a lot of built in relationships from my
Speaker 9: playing days with donors, with boosters, with faculty, with administration.
Speaker 9: Michael Alford Our ad has been incredible. Peter Collins, the
Speaker 9: head of our board, has been incredible connecting me with
Speaker 9: the people I need to talk to, and a lot
Speaker 9: of these people at some level I already have relationships with,
Speaker 9: so it's easy for me. It's not a transactional conversation
Speaker 9: with a lot of these people because I know them
Speaker 9: and they know me and they know what I'm about.
Speaker 9: So it's it's I never want to be that guy
Speaker 9: on the corner asking for money. You know, hey, hey,
Speaker 9: we can't do this without you, because they're aware of it.
Speaker 9: You know, with without donors, without boosters, without the fans
Speaker 9: having equity in what we're building, we don't have a team.
Speaker 9: And so everyone's aware of it. Everyone's been super supportive.
Speaker 9: We're trying to do this the right way, but we're
Speaker 9: also trying to give back. Right there's this perception in
Speaker 9: collegiate athletics right now that it's just we need more,
Speaker 9: we need more, we need more, And it's like, okay, well,
Speaker 9: what can we give you?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 9: How can we build this relationship so it makes sense
Speaker 9: for you, so you feel like you have equity in
Speaker 9: what we're building.
Speaker 1: And you're playing time at Florida State and then you're coaching,
Speaker 1: or even you're playing time overseas and you're playing in
Speaker 1: professional basketball. Offensively, what are you doing at Florida State
Speaker 1: that you have taking from taken from all those different
Speaker 1: elements or are you still running basically the same thing
Speaker 1: that you ran as the point guard at Florida State
Speaker 1: back in the day.
Speaker 9: No, it's going to be much different. And that's no
Speaker 9: disrespect to coach Hamilton or his staff. I've just been
Speaker 9: trained as a coach in the in the NBA ranks,
Speaker 9: and it's a different style. We're heavy on the analytics
Speaker 9: game and using data to drive what we're doing and
Speaker 9: support what we're doing. At the NBA level, obviously you
Speaker 9: have much more resources, right There's there's literal scientists on
Speaker 9: your staff that we just don't have in college. But
Speaker 9: there is a baseline level of belief in terms of efficiency,
Speaker 9: in terms of what my basketball philosophy and way I
Speaker 9: want to teach it. So the way I tell recruits
Speaker 9: and their parents and their agents, it's going to be
Speaker 9: a mesh of an NBA style, but in the college game.
Speaker 9: So it's going to be a little bit faster and
Speaker 9: a little bit more pace, a little bit more space,
Speaker 9: less posting up, more three pointers, more offensive rebounds, and
Speaker 9: those things generally lead to more efficient way to play.
Speaker 9: And then within our evaluation, what type of kid can
Speaker 9: support that?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 9: We want to help these kids get to professional sports, right,
Speaker 9: and I know what it takes to get there, and
Speaker 9: I know it takes a stick because that's my foundation
Speaker 9: of coaching. So how can I put these kids in
Speaker 9: the best position possible So when scouts come watch us play,
Speaker 9: they can see it, right, they can see, oh, this
Speaker 9: kid could actually work in our system.
Speaker 3: That is usually not the case in college.
Speaker 9: Usually we get these kids in the NBA and the
Speaker 9: draft profs and in the first week of training camp
Speaker 9: and they have no idea how to play.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 9: It's like you're rewiring the player and now you can't
Speaker 9: play a total NBA system in college.
Speaker 3: There's a few nuances that you got to tweak.
Speaker 9: But for the most part, and like in the SEC,
Speaker 9: you guys playing, Alabama's doing a great job.
Speaker 3: Natos has done a great job. He's brought in an
Speaker 3: NBA staff.
Speaker 9: He plays a modern style of basketball with his pace
Speaker 9: and the way they play and the way they move
Speaker 9: the ball and the way they cut. And there's other
Speaker 9: schools that are trying to do it with their hires,
Speaker 9: but not many colleges have not only the ability to
Speaker 9: do it, but just a basic understanding of Okay, this
Speaker 9: is where these kids are going. Maybe we should help
Speaker 9: with our system to get them there.
Speaker 1: You mentioned natos and natos. I think about just looking
Speaker 1: at the shot chart and it's all underneath the goal
Speaker 1: or it's all three pointers, right, and so not a
Speaker 1: lot of mid range When I think of Alabama great athletes,
Speaker 1: not a lot of mid range. And if I'm going
Speaker 1: to be extremely technical and ask the question that I
Speaker 1: want to know from you, as there's a lot more
Speaker 1: handing off and the ball holder also screening, but it
Speaker 1: brings an extra defensive player to the player holding the ball.
Speaker 1: What are your thought because it seems like that's more
Speaker 1: than ever you have. You have guys handing the ball
Speaker 1: off as a pass, but again you're bringing an extra
Speaker 1: defensive player to the player holding the ball. You do it?
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on that philosophy? Where do you fall on that?
Speaker 9: Yeah, some of it's personnel driven, some of it depends
Speaker 9: on you know who's on your team and what style.
Speaker 9: I've seen more heavy pick and roll teams be really successful.
Speaker 9: In Sacramento with the Kings, we had a guy named
Speaker 9: Demonta Sabonis, and obviously we surrounded him Darren Fox from
Speaker 9: Leak Monk, all these guys that could shoot, pass, and dribble,
Speaker 9: which is what I'm going to try to do here.
Speaker 9: But Sibonis was very good with the ball as a center,
Speaker 9: so we I think several years in a row we
Speaker 9: led with dribble handoffs and handoff actions, and we were
Speaker 9: very low in our pick and roll actions just because
Speaker 9: the ball naturally found Sibonis so often.
Speaker 3: That is something to an extent I'll bring to Florida State.
Speaker 9: Most coaches spend a lot of time in their defensive
Speaker 9: preparation on guardian pick and rolls because it happens so often.
Speaker 9: It's a little bit trickier guardian dribble handoffs because usually
Speaker 9: you know, if you think about a big or even
Speaker 9: a guard guard guard handoff, if you mess up that coverage,
Speaker 9: the guy dribbling the ball can just keep it in go,
Speaker 9: and that's not the case in the pick and roll,
Speaker 9: so the guy with the ball is live you know,
Speaker 9: and it's just a little more complicated to guard that
Speaker 9: what I do believe, and some again, some college are
Speaker 9: doing a lot of NBA teams are doing it the.
Speaker 3: Ball and body movement.
Speaker 9: So there has to be a constant movement, a constant
Speaker 9: flow of cutting towards the rim in an aggressive manner
Speaker 9: to collapse the defense to put a threat on the rim,
Speaker 9: and then respacing out the backside.
Speaker 3: So think about defensive structure.
Speaker 9: I know I'm getting a little technical and nerdy here.
Speaker 9: You got to protect the paint, which means helps got
Speaker 9: to come, which means at one point you have two
Speaker 9: guys on you, and then as as the guy with
Speaker 9: the ball, you just got to make the right play
Speaker 9: over and over again.
Speaker 3: Sometimes the right play is for you to score.
Speaker 9: Most of the time it has helped comes the right
Speaker 9: plays to find the open guy and create another advantage
Speaker 9: on the backside.
Speaker 1: I've got like five more minutes with you. I have
Speaker 1: a play suggestion. I was like, maybe you tried out
Speaker 1: early on. I just don't know why it doesn't happen
Speaker 1: and I've only ever had happen to me during pickout
Speaker 1: because I suck. But it works. It's called the three
Speaker 1: point airball alley oop. Now follow me here, coach, imagine this,
Speaker 1: because I'm the one shooting, I'm the one shooting three pointer.
Speaker 1: That's the airball. But if everything looks like a three
Speaker 1: point shot with one of your best shooters, one of
Speaker 1: your higher percentage shooters, he purposefully is shooting an air
Speaker 1: ball to where your other the back cut knows it's
Speaker 1: an airball, jumps up times it. Everyone else takes this
Speaker 1: three pointer. He there's an alley oop.
Speaker 5: They're just sitting there. Why don't people run?
Speaker 6: The three ball?
Speaker 1: Air ball alley oop is the greatest play ever.
Speaker 9: Bobby, I'm gonna have to think about that a little more. Yeah,
Speaker 9: exactly could that could be a potential for a first play?
Speaker 9: You know what I was when I was coaching in
Speaker 9: Golden State. You know we had all these shooters Steph Curry,
Speaker 9: Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, and the list goes on. But
Speaker 9: we used to talk about this reminds me. We used
Speaker 9: to talk about the Flying V right, the Flying Ducks
Speaker 9: from the Mighty Ducks, and we said, what if you
Speaker 9: just put four guys in front of Steph right and
Speaker 9: a flying V and you just worked your way down
Speaker 9: the court and a flying V until Steph got close
Speaker 9: enough to the three point line where he could shoot it.
Speaker 3: How would you guard it right?
Speaker 9: And so this, Bobby, you could be I still got
Speaker 9: a spot on my coaching staff open.
Speaker 3: You could be an assistant coach for me.
Speaker 1: You can't afford me. I'll be honest with you at
Speaker 1: this point. You can't afford me. But but I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: if you have one of your one of your shooters,
Speaker 1: everything looks the same and he purposefully is shooting an
Speaker 1: air ball to the point where one of your big
Speaker 1: guys knows it's an airball coming. Time's it right, because
Speaker 1: that's all a rebound is, is timing it right and
Speaker 1: dunks it when you use it. Coach, I just want
Speaker 1: you to text me and be like I used your play.
Speaker 1: Was it could be in like, no, not even acc game.
Speaker 1: It could be like you're playing the high school. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Tallahassee High. You let me know because I think that's
Speaker 1: the pointy, Okay, come on. Two final questions for you, coach.
Speaker 1: The first time you put on that logo again, was
Speaker 1: that a moment for you? Was it like a like
Speaker 1: a ceremonial thing, Like I'm the coach. Now, let me
Speaker 1: put this on.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there was a lot of emotions over the past
Speaker 9: few weeks. My wife was an athlete here too, she
Speaker 9: was a swimmer. So everywhere we've gone, both as a
Speaker 9: player and as a coach, we brought Floria State with us.
Speaker 9: You know, our kids. My son last night facetimed me
Speaker 9: in his Florida State pajamas, which he's.
Speaker 3: Had far before I got the job.
Speaker 9: So really, the most emotional moment probably with this whole
Speaker 9: process wasn't the press conference, wasn't addressing the team. It
Speaker 9: was when we got off the plane in Tallahassee and
Speaker 9: Michael Alford, had our athletic director, was with us and
Speaker 9: our family, my wife, my three children. We got the
Speaker 9: plane and at the at the private airport, I don't
Speaker 9: know how many people, probably seventy five to one hundred people.
Speaker 9: The band was there, the cheerleaders were there, you know,
Speaker 9: all fans, some boosters that I know, and it was
Speaker 9: it was emotional. I don't I don't cry much, but
Speaker 9: I was very close and my wife's just you know,
Speaker 9: full emotion.
Speaker 3: My kids are looking around like where are we right now?
Speaker 9: You know, like we're trying to explain on what Tallhassie
Speaker 9: was and they're walking into this like, you know, incredible
Speaker 9: moment with the band plane And that was when it
Speaker 9: really hit me.
Speaker 3: Is is pretty awesome.
Speaker 9: You know, I get to come back home and and
Speaker 9: and put this logo back on it. It means a
Speaker 9: little more than a normal coaching job, you know, you
Speaker 9: just have a little more invested in the situation. So yeah,
Speaker 9: it's been It's been great so far, man, Bobby. I'm
Speaker 9: super excited to be back.
Speaker 1: One comment, final question. There's a gas station New York campus.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with it because you put all the stuff on,
Speaker 1: like the desk on the end, and it just wrings
Speaker 1: it up automatically. You've been do you know that gas station?
Speaker 1: It's right there by campus. Then I get a candy
Speaker 1: bar up a little water there and it goes He's
Speaker 1: like as a seven eleven whatever was like fort dollars
Speaker 1: twenty nine cents. Nobody even said a word to me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, what the crap just happened in
Speaker 1: Tallahad So a big shout out at the gas station
Speaker 1: near campus. You're gonna see a coach. You've been gone
Speaker 1: long time, You're about to be reintegrated and then.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you trust me that in the three point play
Speaker 1: is the two things you're going to remember me before
Speaker 1: the final thing is we did an ideal here. We're
Speaker 1: talking about if we take one skill from any person
Speaker 1: and we just had it automatically and didn't have to
Speaker 1: be sports. But I picked Steph Curry's ability to shoot.
Speaker 1: Can you just tell me what he was like to
Speaker 1: be around and watch him do what he does?
Speaker 9: Yes, Steph, there's a reason they won all those championships
Speaker 9: and a lot of people talk about his skill, which
Speaker 9: we can discuss here in a second, but truthfully, as
Speaker 9: a person, as a human, he is one of the
Speaker 9: best people, the superstar and not one of the best
Speaker 9: people that I've ever been around. You know, he knows
Speaker 9: and he shouldn't. He knows my kids' names. He's been
Speaker 9: over to my house to like have card game, you
Speaker 9: know what I mean? Like that, He's just he's a
Speaker 9: good dude.
Speaker 3: He asked. He asked about Stevie.
Speaker 9: Every time I see him, he genuinely cares about people.
Speaker 9: And that's what makes him so special as a leader
Speaker 9: of that organization is he invests in his teammates he
Speaker 9: invests in the staff, he invests in in the ownership
Speaker 9: and the community. And when you have someone as talented
Speaker 9: as Steph, to me, maybe the most skilled player in
Speaker 9: the history of basketball in terms of his shooting.
Speaker 3: Ability, his ability to score, his ability to dribble, pass,
Speaker 3: all of it.
Speaker 9: And then you add that to his character and the
Speaker 9: way he represents himself in the organization on a day
Speaker 9: to day basis. Like I said, there's a reason they've
Speaker 9: been as successful. And there's a lot of people around him,
Speaker 9: the Draymonds, aclays, Steve Kerr of course what he's built,
Speaker 9: but Steph is the engine that makes the car go,
Speaker 9: and he is truly It was incredible for me as
Speaker 9: a young coach to not only coach him, but to
Speaker 9: learn from him.
Speaker 1: Shooting. He just shoot all day? Is that what he does?
Speaker 1: He just shoots all day.
Speaker 9: You know, he's pretty structured in his workouts. He's got
Speaker 9: a great routine. He doesn't he shoots a lot. Now,
Speaker 9: he shoots a lot, but he makes so much. It's
Speaker 9: kind of a thing. Once he gets in a rhythm
Speaker 9: and he feels really good, he'll just he'll cut it.
Speaker 9: But sometimes that takes a little bit longer. To get
Speaker 9: to Usually it's you know, fifteen twenty thirty minutes. They
Speaker 9: play so many games at that level. When you're playing
Speaker 9: three four games at night, you can't spend hours and
Speaker 9: hours and hours shooting like he did when he was younger,
Speaker 9: just with how many miles he's had on his body.
Speaker 9: But his routine, he might be no. No, he definitely
Speaker 9: is the most consistent, hardest worker I've ever been around.
Speaker 3: But he also works smart.
Speaker 9: You know, he's not just going to be in the
Speaker 9: gym for four hours wasting his time. It's a game
Speaker 9: like preparation and focus and intensity to his workouts that's
Speaker 9: truly impressive.
Speaker 1: Well, it's like me in this interview, I'm in rhythm.
Speaker 1: I'm quitting because I'm like feeling it. I'm like, why
Speaker 1: keep on right now? I got it all day. This
Speaker 1: is awesome. Hey, congrats, it's super coold. Love to see
Speaker 1: people go home and do their thing. We're rooting for you.
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for said anyway. I've got a lot of
Speaker 1: great relationships over there. We want to come when you
Speaker 1: got to start next season. We definitely want to come
Speaker 1: and check out a game and mostly just get free gear,
Speaker 1: but still we want to be there, so coach, congratulations.
Speaker 1: It's a hectic time right now, but we're looking forward
Speaker 1: to next season and I hope you have a great
Speaker 1: rest of the week.
Speaker 3: Bobby, thanks for having me on. You're welcome anytime, all right.

Speaker 1: We spend a lot of time talking about read already,
Speaker 1: let's do a little bit more. We're doing this part
Speaker 1: of the show from Los Angeles. I filled in for
Speaker 1: rich Eisen this morning and the Tuesday morning, So depending
Speaker 1: on when you hear this, but as soon as we
Speaker 1: land in Los Angeles, and it is a long flight,
Speaker 1: and I mean it's just about the longest flight you
Speaker 1: take from where we are, we land and we're staying
Speaker 1: at an airport hotel. I mean it is right next
Speaker 1: to the airport.
Speaker 5: But you can't hear airplanes, which is kind of cool.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. I expect you're right all night.
Speaker 1: But I've never stayed as close to an airport in
Speaker 1: a hotel unless I was being forced to lay over
Speaker 1: in a city and they gave me a free voucher, Like,
Speaker 1: this is the closest I've ever stayed to an airport.
Speaker 1: And so we get here and we type in hyat
Speaker 1: because that's where we're staying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's like eight hyatts. We didn't know.
Speaker 1: So we go to the wrong one and we're already
Speaker 1: tired long flight, and we have all oli our bags.
Speaker 1: We're ubering and we're like, we're here to check in.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, you're at the wrong one, and we're
Speaker 1: like great, and then Red goes, I lost my phone
Speaker 1: in the uber.
Speaker 6: It's about to happen, man, I fell, it slipped right
Speaker 6: out of my buck and he goes, and I had
Speaker 6: all my phone catching pants too. Do I only buy
Speaker 6: pants with zippers if they're not jeans, but like any
Speaker 6: kind of like joggers, they have to have zippers, like
Speaker 6: pocket zippers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So not only am I having to find
Speaker 1: a different hotel that we're in, now I got to
Speaker 1: track down and reads Uber drivers.
Speaker 5: And all this on your phone, one phone for all
Speaker 5: of this. We have all of our bags, and I
Speaker 5: would have helped you, but you had the Uber app,
Speaker 5: like you had to do it.
Speaker 1: I had to find the new place and find his phone.
Speaker 1: I didn't have a phone.
Speaker 6: I couldn't help you know.
Speaker 1: That's the point. And not only that, what made it
Speaker 1: even more difficult is our driver was Chinese and her
Speaker 1: English very limited.
Speaker 5: So you actually talked to her on the phone, right.
Speaker 1: Yes, And she was just trying to because I pushed
Speaker 1: the button that said lost an item, please call us,
Speaker 1: and then she calls me. And a lot of times
Speaker 1: when you're an uber, you don't have to talk to
Speaker 1: the person much. You can or you don't have to.
Speaker 1: I would think, when the language isn't the same, even
Speaker 1: if I'm in another country, you just don't talk much
Speaker 1: because you'll have.
Speaker 5: To and no need. You're good, you can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well now we had to. And we weren't
Speaker 1: even looking at each other. And she was trying to
Speaker 1: read her number back so we could save her number
Speaker 1: to text her. She couldn't understand me, I could understand her.
Speaker 1: We're yelling at each other, thinking that the yelling helps.
Speaker 5: I heard you at one point say and these weren't
Speaker 5: the numbers, but you're like okay, you're like, any write
Speaker 5: this down seven four nine six, and you're like, you
Speaker 5: only gave me four numbers, what's the rest.
Speaker 1: So we're trying to drag down Read's phone. We end
Speaker 1: up having to leave Reid's phone and say leave it
Speaker 1: at the front desk, and we hope that happens. And
Speaker 1: then we're like, Read's going to give you a big tip.
Speaker 6: Oh god.
Speaker 1: And so he did get his phone back, miraculous.
Speaker 10: I did.
Speaker 6: It felt good to not have a phone for a
Speaker 6: little bit, to be honest. I was also kind of
Speaker 6: expecting to have like some sort of like text when
Speaker 6: I got back, and I just I guess nobody wants
Speaker 6: to talk.
Speaker 1: Oh that's the worst when you lose your phone for
Speaker 1: a long time.
Speaker 5: But it was a long time.
Speaker 1: Wow, Like, man, I'm gonna have to get any real
Speaker 1: respond to a lot of these messages and you have nothing.
Speaker 6: I know, like, okay, well that's anti climbactic.
Speaker 1: We did get it. I went to bed at about
Speaker 1: six pm because it's eight pm our time. My wife
Speaker 1: called me though it was like tornadoes. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: I'm on the phone with her. We're both watching different
Speaker 1: news feeds and YouTube videos, and she's got the dogs
Speaker 1: and I'm here kind of feeling guilty, and so finally
Speaker 1: fall back asleep again. But we wake up to go
Speaker 1: over to Eisen show this morning and read's like I
Speaker 1: had a crying baby all night.
Speaker 3: I guess, screaming baby.
Speaker 5: You're having a bad trip, mat you, Hey, if you'd.
Speaker 6: Be quiet my here right now.
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't think most people stay in this hotel
Speaker 1: more than one night.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't think so mine by the airport.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My theory is you only stay here if you're
Speaker 1: staying here at night, unless you're us. My room still
Speaker 1: hasn't been cleaned, and it's like four pm.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they're still working though I saw them in
Speaker 5: the hallways.
Speaker 1: But my point is if people aren't in it for
Speaker 1: multiple nights, it doesn't matter, so they probably don't rush
Speaker 1: to clean it earlier. Because the people aren't staying two
Speaker 1: nights in the rooms that do get cleaned earlier, those
Speaker 1: people in first through, So why would they be in
Speaker 1: a rush to clean the rooms if it's not a capacity.
Speaker 11: But screaming baby absolutely horrific. That's their door right there.
Speaker 6: I know you can't. I mean, if you're listening, you
Speaker 6: don't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't even the one next to the bed.
Speaker 1: It's across the room.
Speaker 6: It's like we share a room.
Speaker 1: Did you bang?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: I didn't. I kind of felt bad because, I mean,
Speaker 6: that baby was screaming for like three hours straight and
Speaker 6: then it stopped for like an hour, and then I
Speaker 6: woke up at four and it was screaming again. And
Speaker 6: you could you could hear like Blippy or some sort
Speaker 6: of like kids TV show just blaring in their room
Speaker 6: that they're trying to get the kid to be quiet.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that doesn't work.
Speaker 6: They also didn't speak English, so they were like yelling
Speaker 6: words at the baby in a foreign language.
Speaker 1: Because you could have helped maybe if you knew what
Speaker 1: they were saying or what maybe what is it? What's
Speaker 1: the context of that one.
Speaker 6: I was also kind of worried that, you know, they
Speaker 6: were gonna harm the baby or something. You know.
Speaker 5: How so it must have been loud for you to
Speaker 5: be on the other side of the room in your
Speaker 5: bed and you you're able to like pick up all this.
Speaker 6: I honestly I thought it was in the hallway, and
Speaker 6: I thought like people were making a commotion, like about
Speaker 6: to fight outside. It was so loud and it was
Speaker 6: so frantic.
Speaker 1: It sucks for the parents though, right, because they don't
Speaker 1: want the baby to grow sex with the baby.
Speaker 5: Of course, secks for Reid. Well, it's funny you say, like,
Speaker 5: did you knock on the door, Like what are you
Speaker 5: gonna do? Like, there's really nothing you can do in
Speaker 5: this scenario.
Speaker 1: Put in air pods. I did.
Speaker 6: I put in air pods for about an hour and
Speaker 6: then got freaked out because I was so isolated. I
Speaker 6: thought I was.
Speaker 11: Gonna miss my alarm, so I took them out.
Speaker 1: Huh, like with my AirPods. I sleep with air pods
Speaker 1: in sometimes.
Speaker 6: And you can still hear your alarm.
Speaker 1: They always say us fall out?
Speaker 5: Does the alarm? Does the alarm go off? In the
Speaker 5: air pods?
Speaker 1: Great question, because I put well, I put one in.
Speaker 1: I sleep with one in sometimes. My wife has no
Speaker 1: problem with me playing a podcast under my pillow out
Speaker 1: loud doesn't bother with the phone out no pods, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't bother her because I used to be let's
Speaker 1: watch TV until I fall asleep and leave it on
Speaker 1: all night.
Speaker 5: So it's a wind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big win compared to that, so she
Speaker 1: doesn't really mind it at all. But sometimes if she's
Speaker 1: already a slop, I don't want to come in and
Speaker 1: like turn it eye because I think it'll wake her
Speaker 1: up as opposed to her falling asleep with it on.
Speaker 1: And so I'll sleep with one AirPod in on my
Speaker 1: left side because I sleep on my right side for
Speaker 1: the most part until I go to my back. But
Speaker 1: it always falls out the middle of the night, so
Speaker 1: then my alarm will go off. But to be fair,
Speaker 1: my alarm never wakes me up maybe once a month,
Speaker 1: because I wake up two hours before my alarm, like
Speaker 1: nervous that I'm going to oversleep every single day in
Speaker 1: my life.
Speaker 6: See, Eddie was saying too that like because of the
Speaker 6: time zone here, he wouldn't even worried about his alarm
Speaker 6: In California.
Speaker 5: I wake up like at you know, regard no alarm.
Speaker 5: I'll wake up eyes open six am.
Speaker 1: That's a good point because we're two hours back and
Speaker 1: it's such a quick trip. Yeah, so it's not been
Speaker 1: the easiest trip for Reid. He did say though, that
Speaker 1: he saw the Kobe Bryant statue today we went. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was cool, really cool.
Speaker 5: It's really cool. Man, Like that's pretty new, right, Like
Speaker 5: I don't know when they threw that one up a
Speaker 5: couple of years ago.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, it's definitely newer than the rest.
Speaker 5: So it's pretty cool. And then there's a Shack one
Speaker 5: that's really cool too.
Speaker 1: He's dunking like he double arm, double hand.
Speaker 5: Double hand, he's got wings, he's got to sticking out.
Speaker 5: And that one's like further back closer to like just
Speaker 5: the it's over like the entrance just.
Speaker 11: Was connected to the building.
Speaker 5: H's connected to the building, which is really cool. That
Speaker 5: one's cool. And the Jerry West Magic Johnson, which is
Speaker 5: funny to see Reid out there because he's just like,
Speaker 5: who's that? That's cream? Abdul Jabbar read.
Speaker 6: I didn't you could. Some of those people you can't
Speaker 6: really tell.
Speaker 1: You know, you could tell because of the statue, but
Speaker 1: you're not a big sports guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I wouldn't know.
Speaker 5: And then he goes to the hockey player, who's that?
Speaker 1: I knew it was Retzki.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we had a little lesson while we were out there.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I was like your little your little child taking out there.
Speaker 5: And Jerry Jerry West though he knew he's like a
Speaker 5: logo man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know that was the statue of him
Speaker 1: doing the logo pose kind of. I mean, it's not
Speaker 1: really a pose, but.
Speaker 5: That kind of I don't know if it is the
Speaker 5: exact same one, but it's it's just his you know,
Speaker 5: his iconic move of he's like just going for charging
Speaker 5: for a layup or something like whatever that logo thing is.
Speaker 1: If I did look to see the Dodgers do play
Speaker 1: tonight the Lakers. The Lakers play tonight too, man, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I can do it. It's so late.
Speaker 5: It Oh what time do they play? I'm here, that's
Speaker 5: like seven.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, but by the time you get back, it's
Speaker 1: ten or eleven, which is like one o'clock our time.
Speaker 1: And then I got to get back. Now, you and
Speaker 1: you guys do whatever.
Speaker 5: I told as I looked up tickets and like, back
Speaker 5: up against the wall, the very last row in the arena,
Speaker 5: it's like one hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: I don't know who's been paying for ubers or food
Speaker 1: when I'm not around. So I said, both of you guys,
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks. You did it, Yeah, to your venmos
Speaker 1: so you can always go. Thank you man, if you
Speaker 1: want to get no, we use that. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: you could use that, because I don't know who's been paying.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers are playing to night too, you said.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that apparently is a nightmare to get out of. Jeez,
Speaker 1: la Is. It's hard for me because I get car
Speaker 1: sick and I hate traffic. I'm not from here. I
Speaker 1: don't like it, so anytime that it's a difficult car situation,
Speaker 1: I don't like it. So I choose tonight go Sunday ight.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind it. I think we could have gone
Speaker 1: to a game Sunday night. Yeah, but if you guys
Speaker 1: want to go go, I'll just go to dinner with
Speaker 1: our buddy myself.
Speaker 5: Honestly, this whole trip has been like read what do
Speaker 5: you want to do? Because reed like Red say he's
Speaker 5: only been to la once, you know, like we've been
Speaker 5: here a lot, and like like, I want to go
Speaker 5: to Venice.
Speaker 1: Beach, so we Yeah, you guys went to a muscle beach, right.
Speaker 5: That's yool, dude.
Speaker 11: It's like it's like a movie set out there, people rollerblading.
Speaker 5: This whole town is a movie set.
Speaker 1: You and in this town. There are lots of movie sets.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's very true. What's funny is Reid, I guess
Speaker 5: since he was a little boy, he said he's wanted
Speaker 5: to go to Venice Beach to see the skate park.
Speaker 5: Like there's because at Venice Beach it's got the beach,
Speaker 5: of course, but then you have the muscle part where
Speaker 5: it's like just a big open workout area and then
Speaker 5: there are roller skaters. There are skateboarders in there. There's
Speaker 5: like just a bowl, like big swimming pool like bowls everywhere,
Speaker 5: so skaters are doing tricks, and Read's like, I've always
Speaker 5: wanted to come here, And he spent about thirty minutes
Speaker 5: trying to find someone to ask if he can borrow
Speaker 5: their boards so that he can drop in.
Speaker 6: I didn't do it, though I would have dropped in,
Speaker 6: no doubt, I would have dropped in.
Speaker 5: He was on a mission.
Speaker 1: Why did you go buy a board, a cheap board.
Speaker 6: That's a good question.
Speaker 5: I told you that I could have.
Speaker 1: That'd have been a place that it'd be worth it
Speaker 1: to do it, and you could have taken it back
Speaker 1: easily tomorrow, returned the board, No, taking the board back?
Speaker 6: Return it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, Yeah, that's about that because it's not like
Speaker 1: you have to check it or anything. Yeah, crap, sorry,
Speaker 1: buddy man.
Speaker 6: I mean that's that skate park is like iconic. If
Speaker 6: you like grew up skating, you knew that skate park.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I didn't grow up skating. Yeah, the
Speaker 5: whole place is pretty iconic. Like you walk out there
Speaker 5: and you're like, oh, I've seen this in a movie.
Speaker 1: Oh that area. Yeah, and you said they filmed White
Speaker 1: Man can't jump out there too.
Speaker 5: Yeah. The they have like the basketball court area, there's
Speaker 5: probably I don't know ten hoops and we looked it up.
Speaker 5: That's exactly where they filmed it.
Speaker 1: Okay, well we are going to leave this part. We're
Speaker 1: going to put this part in the episode. And that's all.
Speaker 1: I got nothing else. I'm lam sure all we came on?
Speaker 1: Why do we come on? Because we're in La No.
Speaker 1: I feel like we had a purpose. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: the purpose was what.
Speaker 3: I don't know, talk more about Reid.
Speaker 6: Is that what it was?
Speaker 1: Well maybe it was. Yeah, we had the podcast coming up.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, maybe that's what it was.
Speaker 1: And then also say read lost his phone in La yep.
Speaker 1: And then also that read.
Speaker 11: Hey shout out LJ.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 11: That's the guy I met at the skate park dreads.
Speaker 6: He was a low He thought I was.
Speaker 5: A local, Like have you done this in California?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I mean he was asking where I was from
Speaker 6: stuff like that, and he was like, you ever go
Speaker 6: to this once?
Speaker 5: Pottle of here.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh no, man, this is my first
Speaker 6: time out here. And he was like, oh you ever
Speaker 6: tried that California weed? And he hands me his blunt.
Speaker 6: I was like, I'm good man, I appreciate it, though.
Speaker 1: Wow right there, dude.
Speaker 5: I just let them have their moment.
Speaker 1: Man, I feel like we should do at least one
Speaker 1: sports thing while we're here. Since the sports fair enough.
Speaker 1: Should they ban the toush push? They're talking about it
Speaker 1: now in league meetings, Eddie.
Speaker 5: Your argument you made is pretty valid as far as
Speaker 5: just like entertainment value and making it dramatic, and that
Speaker 5: doesn't make it dramatic.
Speaker 1: And I think there should be limited toush bushes. I know,
Speaker 1: I don't think they should eliminate it. The people that
Speaker 1: are upset about other people that can't do it, but
Speaker 1: I think you only get X amount a game.
Speaker 5: Oh man, I say, just let it let it play
Speaker 5: the way it is.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 5: I like that only Philadelphia is the one that can
Speaker 5: do it.
Speaker 1: They are having league meetings now and that was one
Speaker 1: of the topics that they're discussing. I don't think it'll
Speaker 1: be eliminated this year. I think that it probably will
Speaker 1: eventually be eliminated or they won't because they don't want
Speaker 1: the Eagles to feel attacked. They probably will not say
Speaker 1: no more tush pushes. They'll probably say no more and
Speaker 1: they'll do it roll league wide. No more grabbing another
Speaker 1: player and pulling them or pushing them forward, because I
Speaker 1: could also be like grabbing somebody that's behind you and
Speaker 1: pulling them into the end zone, right like. I think
Speaker 1: they'll just reevaluate that definition.
Speaker 5: And if they do do the verb, do they do
Speaker 5: the words like that? I think that would be good,
Speaker 5: that'd be okay. But that is but that is being
Speaker 5: in the touch put.
Speaker 1: It is kind of boring to watch touch push that one.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: Yes, I also yes, I also don't think you should
Speaker 1: be penalized though if you think of something within the.
Speaker 5: Rules, it was genius.
Speaker 1: They had the right pert. They still have the right
Speaker 1: personnel to do it. You can't do that without a
Speaker 1: quarterback like Jalen Hurts, who's super correct, and other people
Speaker 1: have tried. I mean the Bills kind of tried with
Speaker 1: Josh Allen playoffs Patrick Mahomes. They don't do it at
Speaker 1: all because you got her to do quarterback sneakes. So okay,
Speaker 1: there's our one sports thing in this segment. What would
Speaker 1: you like to say?
Speaker 11: I was just want to say, how many touch pushes
Speaker 11: do you think should.
Speaker 6: Be allowed in a game?
Speaker 5: One?
Speaker 6: Just one per team?
Speaker 1: Right, I would say this is one and a half.
Speaker 1: I would allow one a half.
Speaker 5: One and a half or.
Speaker 1: I think there could be part of the rule to
Speaker 1: where if you're inside the three yard line you could
Speaker 1: get too in a half if it's within the same series.
Speaker 1: But I think just for fourth downs on like the
Speaker 1: thirty eight yard line and then a fourth down again
Speaker 1: on the Yeah, which is what that just gets to
Speaker 1: be boring? Yeah, I think, yeah, that would be how
Speaker 1: I would probably make sense. I think everything should be illegal, dude,
Speaker 1: I think illegal, no legal, everything like pds, all of it.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: I'm like, in one player gets spikes on their shoulder pads,
Speaker 1: it turns into what's the mel gives a movie from
Speaker 1: back in the day, mad mad mad gosh, those pads no,
Speaker 1: like you know how I'm madden.
Speaker 6: Like, at least when I used to play, you could
Speaker 6: like take your whole team and push them to the
Speaker 6: left with just like one dude running behind.
Speaker 11: Like I think that should.
Speaker 6: I mean, I think you should do that.
Speaker 1: I don't even understand how woul happen in real life.
Speaker 11: Though, really, I mean I just say, everybody go left.
Speaker 1: And then you follow, like, oh, like the student body
Speaker 1: like that used to be the play, Like student body left.
Speaker 5: Was everybody everyone, You just run behind everyone.
Speaker 1: It was like old college football. Oh really, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: wishbone kind of what happens.
Speaker 5: You're right if you can execute it, hey man, within.
Speaker 1: The rules, Within the rules. I did want to follow
Speaker 1: up on a story. I said that I was going
Speaker 1: to tell an accent story because I was talking about
Speaker 1: being in Germany, and I referenced it's fine line and
Speaker 1: another country even here on a microphone here in.
Speaker 5: Where are you going with this?
Speaker 1: Well, I gotta be care. I don't want to get
Speaker 1: canceled basically, okay, and I don't think I'm going to,
Speaker 1: but what will happens? I'll use Germany as an example,
Speaker 1: everybody speaks English basically when you travel through Europe. Okay,
Speaker 1: And it's not like I missed a world traveler. In
Speaker 1: the last few years. I've been doing stuff like this.
Speaker 1: This is kind of crazy. And my wife gets a
Speaker 1: bit irritated at me when one of these other countries
Speaker 1: when they speak English and I speak English, but yet
Speaker 1: I still try to meet them in the middle.
Speaker 5: You try to speak They're broken.
Speaker 1: English kind of so obviously they have an accent, but
Speaker 1: they do speak English, and sometimes not the best. Sometimes
Speaker 1: these verbs are in weird places. And can you do
Speaker 1: a German accent at all?
Speaker 5: Oh, like a German speaking English?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yeah, just you go with that though, go
Speaker 1: with that and ask me, ask me, And this is okay.
Speaker 1: I swear to you. This is what I do when
Speaker 1: I'm in places, and I'm not doing it to be funny.
Speaker 1: I'm doing it because I tell my wife a medium
Speaker 1: in the middle, because if they speak in this accent
Speaker 1: and they're speaking English, they this is how they know
Speaker 1: it and.
Speaker 5: Hear it their English.
Speaker 1: Yes, so this is going to be we're doing improv. Uh,
Speaker 1: you're working at a hotel, I'm a German, you're a
Speaker 1: German at a hotel. I'm rolling in with bags? Oh okay,
Speaker 1: and I'll go first. Hey, we're here to check in.
Speaker 5: What do you want to say?
Speaker 1: I didn't matter. You're working the desk.
Speaker 5: Is this all these bags you have?
Speaker 1: Yes? These bags that I have here are the bags
Speaker 1: and you can leave them here or we can takes
Speaker 1: him with us.
Speaker 5: Have you already checked in?
Speaker 1: No? Have not checked in? Dunk?
Speaker 5: This is bad. This is what you were doing. This
Speaker 5: is bad?
Speaker 1: Is it because I'm just I was like, no, that's
Speaker 1: that's the point of it is best. The point of
Speaker 1: it is, Eddie. If I were speaking Spanish but I
Speaker 1: don't have the accent and I know Spanish, I was like,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh uh, and you talked back to
Speaker 1: me and like an American accent in Spanish. It would
Speaker 1: help me know that because that's how I talk in it.
Speaker 5: But but why are you struggling with words that you know?
Speaker 5: You're like, how do I say? Like you speak English?
Speaker 10: Dude?
Speaker 1: That's kind of why I pissed my wife off. That okay, okay,
Speaker 1: but I don't do it.
Speaker 5: How do you say?
Speaker 1: But I did say, like I think it's it's it's
Speaker 1: a dunk DUNKA yeah, I did say that, but part
Speaker 1: of it, I'm like to back, you can go to
Speaker 1: the room, dunka uh good dog. But I do all
Speaker 1: my English in their acts.
Speaker 5: Interesting. I mean, that's kind that's kind of you.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm trying, like I'm leaning in to
Speaker 1: make it easier for them, because they've leaned in to
Speaker 1: make it easier for me. I don't feel like i'm
Speaker 1: doing now. I will say this, and I don't like this,
Speaker 1: and this does not make me a good or bad person.
Speaker 1: And I don't do it on purpose. But I also
Speaker 1: do it at Chinese restaurants in America.
Speaker 5: I know here that's different.
Speaker 1: I don't mean to, but it's just natural that if
Speaker 1: someone comes up, I'm not gonna do the Chinese one
Speaker 1: will get me canceled in South. But let's just say
Speaker 1: I'll do Mouse. But imagine if Mickey Mouse were actually
Speaker 1: someone of the Chinese restaurants, speaking in a Chinese accent
Speaker 1: but doing but speaking in English. Okay, They were.
Speaker 10: Like, hello, would you like some sweet and sour soup?
Speaker 10: And if you would, thank you for coming to the restaurant,
Speaker 10: And would you also like with your food, would you
Speaker 10: like some uh beef broccoli in the N I answer back, yes,
Speaker 10: I would like, but I'm only doing it because I
Speaker 10: feel like they know because obviously they don't have a
Speaker 10: full grasp of the accent, so I'm trying to meet
Speaker 10: them at their accent.
Speaker 5: You don't think they understand you if you spoke regular English.
Speaker 1: Though, I think, And here's the reason my answer is no.
Speaker 1: When I lived in Texas my friend group and Eddie
Speaker 1: can speak to this, I was the minority.
Speaker 5: Oh, we were all Mexican.
Speaker 1: Everybody was Mexican or black, but me and all the
Speaker 1: Mexicans that were my friends or span X, but they
Speaker 1: even call themselves Mexicans.
Speaker 5: We're in Hispanics, but like we're I would say that.
Speaker 1: He'd be like, is fanic. I'd be like, why don't
Speaker 1: we canceled? They're like, well, what are we going to do?
Speaker 1: Cancel you with your friends? And they'd be like, we're
Speaker 1: just Mexicans. And so when you guys would speak Spanish
Speaker 1: fast with the Spanish accent from Mexico really struggled. If
Speaker 1: you spoke it a little slower and not as accented,
Speaker 1: I could understand it so much better.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you're saying that if you spoke English regular
Speaker 5: like this, like we're talking real fast.
Speaker 1: If I'm meaning like slang, I'm like chill, that's lit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even I talk fast naturally as a human anyway, if
Speaker 1: I'm talking to them like this here but it's not
Speaker 1: like they come with bags up to the room, but you.
Speaker 5: Could say like to that point, you could say hi,
Speaker 5: I'm here to check in.
Speaker 1: But then I feel like you're talking to him like
Speaker 1: the child. Yes, and I felt like that too, like
Speaker 1: I'm talking down to them ye like, and I'm already
Speaker 1: appreciative they've learned English.
Speaker 12: And so do you think any of them were like,
Speaker 12: where's this dude from? Like I can't he's not American. Well,
Speaker 12: I think they thought I was a vampire in German.
Speaker 12: It's because my accent back sounded much much more Transylvanian
Speaker 12: than German.
Speaker 5: I mean, I want to suck you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, my god.
Speaker 1: So all I'm saying is I don't. I felt like
Speaker 1: I was doing the right thing. It annoyed my wife,
Speaker 1: which she would be like, please stop doing that. How
Speaker 1: would she talk to like a normal human? And then
Speaker 1: even at restaurants like don't do that, don't do it
Speaker 1: because I don't mean to do that. At Chinese restaurants.
Speaker 1: It's just my heart is so big it is, man,
Speaker 1: Thank you, that's all I wanted to say. All right,
Speaker 1: theme song out, Theme song out, We're done. Thank you
Speaker 1: you guys, have a great rest of the day.
Speaker 5: You too.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: If I'm a bad person, I'm sorry. I don't mean
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 5: No, you're kind.
Speaker 1: You did it for them, your heart's in it like
Speaker 1: you have the right mindset. I'm misunderstood. Yes, that's what
Speaker 1: it is. Thank you, and thanks again to coach, and
