Speaker 1: of the season, and because we knew you were coming.

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: We thought we got to get this guy a Weggie,

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: so we got one last night, Leggie number thirty five.

26
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: This is a bit of a crazy one, Grayson Allen.

27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: He's going to see that the shot clock is expiring,

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: so he chucks it up and sticks it. Wow, thirty

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: five thirty five Leggies, Lee, look at this pace we're on?

30
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: Sixty three? Is that a new record? With that be

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: and your record and what it's the record?

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be. What did we hit last during

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: last year?

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 4: Was forty eight?

35
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 3: Different?

36
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: One was the record?

37
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: I think the year prior is sixty three would be

38
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: the exact same.

39
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: Okay, nice, right, Wow, it's been a good year for Weggies.

40
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: I can tell that's a unique one too. Oh yeah,

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: we had it wasn't like a dead play, so it

42
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: does count. Oh yeah, check the rules.

43
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: He was getting the shot up. Yeah, we had it

44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: tweeted to us.

45
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 5: But phn X guys, because it was Wow, a wild

46
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 5: alley you've missed and Grayson Allen with the leaner wedgie

47
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 5: three two to one on the clock. I'm just gonna

48
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 5: stick it right there, so I'm just gonna lean so

49
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 5: it's perfectly that guy took twenty threes last night.

50
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: One of them was away.

51
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, you stick any wedgies lately?

52
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: I haven't, but I've seen a few along the way. Yeah.

53
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: That was so international legend.

54
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 3: Yes, and it remains a universal hilarity of seeing people

55
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: try to dislodge a wedgie. It was one in Hong

56
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: Kong actually, just recently where they lodged it in the Honestly,

57
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: it took him ten attempts to wow.

58
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: Well, look, the last time we had you on No

59
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: Dunks was October twenty twenty two. It's like three and

60
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: a half years ago. That was your goodbye episode. Yeah,

61
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: you talked about following your two great passions, yeah, basketball

62
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: and traveling, and your goal was to head out and

63
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: play twenty games in twenty different cities across twenty different country.

64
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: It is the twenty twenty twenty Challenge success.

65
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: Yes, in terms of getting that done quicker than I

66
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: thought too. I wrapped it up in fourteen months and

67
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: I was like, oh damn, now it's basically yeah. I

68
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 3: was like, okay, that's not quite down I thought of it.

69
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: I thought it'd be way more like, oh my god,

70
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: you know, three and a half years later, I'm up

71
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 3: to eighteen. You know, that's what I thought. Things happen

72
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: and I've got a few offers and a few opportunities,

73
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: and then situations have evolved and I got it all done.

74
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 3: And so that's when I got to the point I'm like, hmm,

75
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 3: I can't just now say all right, I'm going to

76
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: go to thirty or forty or you know, I get

77
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: sort of is different. So I was sort of rebranded

78
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: to this new basketball passport, which which I'm doing now,

79
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: which is like trying to incorporate everything related to well

80
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: basketball and passport. And so I'm still you know, the

81
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: primary goal remains trying to get it on on a

82
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: streaming service, you know, to Netflix, h Ted, Sarandos. He's

83
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 3: been emailed a few times, so we probably alone.

84
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: Netflix, don't come.

85
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: That's it.

86
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: That's literally, that's what I'm saying. That's what you guys

87
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: basically did for the score. If I remember directly, and

88
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: it worked, it's all right, Tea surround us start coming,

89
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 3: Boom doesn't get rejected, and his little icon pops up.

90
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 3: So he's had a few week mails and.

91
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: So the ideas still packaging footage or the concept I

92
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: gas and then maybe can make it into a.

93
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: Shop, everything everything like it incorporates everything, Like it's not

94
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a huge mark for watching a

95
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: middle aged man just play pick up alone. So I'm

96
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: trying to explore you know, culture and courts and pick

97
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: up runs and people and local icons and things like that,

98
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: and I really think there's a series there. So I'm

99
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: still just just waiting for that reply from mister set.

100
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: Were you shocked by the response of people, like you said,

101
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: it took you not as long as you thought it

102
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: was to hit the twenty countries, like people trying to

103
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: like help you come here like whatever.

104
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that still happens now, you know, people are

105
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: still like, come out here and do this, and we're

106
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: going to do that, and we're going to do this.

107
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: And then so I'm you know, I'm certainly inspired and

108
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: encourage and motivated by the amount of support out there,

109
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: but I'm also still basically building it all myself, and

110
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 3: so that's that's the biggest challenge, is like trying to

111
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: like I when I came back from the first trip,

112
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 3: I had this big one all set up from Croati.

113
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: I was going to tell the story, but trying to

114
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: wed at that and put it all in together. That

115
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: was just a little out of my range.

116
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: That's the tough part. That's the hardest, showing up and

117
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: playing bass.

118
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's sort of that's fine, but also because I'm

119
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: shooting a lot of it just on my phone, and

120
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 3: so you've got to have it different for the for

121
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: you know, what works for you know, YouTube and things

122
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: like that. So that's that was obviously something that I

123
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: realized like, Okay, I probably can't do that. So instead,

124
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 3: I'm going to try to incorporate all the aspects of

125
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: what I'm trying to do and build those into little

126
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 3: stories and you know, get that in front of the

127
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 3: right person.

128
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: So how many countries since you did leave the show

129
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: there in twenty twenty seven, I've been twenty seven different

130
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: countries you travel to and done some sort of like yes.

131
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: And yes cities. It's like probably thirty five or something

132
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: like that. But yeah, twenty seven different countries.

133
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite? Well?

134
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 3: So, I mean it's funny when you said that in

135
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: the dark. I'm like, man, if I tell him the

136
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: real answer, he's not going to be happy. The real

137
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: answer is they're all amazing. I wouldn't be really because

138
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: because every every single country has been unique and special

139
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: and fun. And I'm like, damn, I can't say that

140
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: cause squites will get angry. Yeah, so that all right,

141
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 3: all right, I'll bring back and I don't do you

142
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: could still do the top five, top five, top five,

143
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: So I thought, you know what, I'll email it to JD.

144
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: And it worked effortlessly and smooth.

145
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: That's why I'm lated here today.

146
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 3: I've got my I've got my top five for you. Okay,

147
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 3: there we go.

148
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to get the custom stingers favorite countries on.

149
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: And this was hard because again, like everywhere I've gone,

150
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 3: people have been incredible. People have welcomed me and showed

151
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: me around, and I'm like, I don't want to I

152
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: don't want to sort of separate people or cities or countries.

153
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 3: But I decided, you know what the hell, let's go

154
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: for So at number five, this was just over two

155
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: years ago. I was in beautiful Kenya and this court here,

156
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: the Emoja to Court, is what they call the Rucka

157
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 3: Park of Nairobi. Now this is one that Giants of Africa,

158
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: which Massiya Jurry is the president of. He built this

159
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: incredible court there in Emoja and so We hosted a

160
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: clinic and played a game at night, and it was

161
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: not just like a pickup game. This was like a

162
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: tournament where there was referees and prizes and teams and

163
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: people actually usually have that tournament on a Saturday night,

164
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 3: but they moved it to a Friday night for me. Yeah,

165
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: I was going to the Massamara the next day, but

166
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: all right, we'll do that. And playing under lights there

167
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: with the crowd and everything like that. It was just

168
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: such a cool experience, especially you know, I chose that

169
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 3: one because you know, Kenya is not automatically where you

170
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: associate basketball, you know, like like that, and that was

171
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 3: such such a cool experience because they had to take

172
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: me into this special area and I was there and

173
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: had all the jerseys to give away and stuff like that,

174
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: and the clinic was incredible. It was about a million degrees.

175
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: So they like ruled up the red carpet for you too.

176
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they did, and they changed they did.

177
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: They were excited top Yeah.

178
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. And Will, who's a big fan of the show.

179
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: He's I'm certain he's going to be watching it. Will.

180
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: Will was instrumental in making that happen happen, So yeah,

181
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: that was that was just a really really special moment,

182
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: a great experience, and the athletes out there were great

183
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: and also playing pick up, which was which is interesting

184
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: because depending on where you play, you know, sometimes it's physical,

185
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: sometimes people call fous whatever. In Arabia it was physical

186
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 3: and there was no special treatment on the court for me,

187
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: like I got whacked a few times and hell yeah, yeah,

188
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: you were the people playing because well the players were older.

189
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: The clinics, the clinics that you can see were a

190
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 3: lot of those young kids. So this was like a

191
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: full d thing or afternoon tonight. Yeah yeah, yeah, because

192
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 3: with your crocodile dundee hat not there, I didn't, but

193
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: in Zambia I did because it was even hotter down there.

194
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: I had a hat and sunglasses on while I was playing,

195
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 3: and it was like ten o'clock in the morning. It was.

196
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: These I love everything. We love every time we see

197
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: you playing so much. Have you ever gotten injured on

198
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: any of these games?

199
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: Well? I robed the ankle a few times. Yeah. Yeah.

200
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: It's curious because, like I mean, I don't know how

201
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: your insurance is when.

202
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 3: You're traveling, but you know, no, no, I mean, yeah,

203
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: the ankles have been rolled a few times, but you

204
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: know at this stage they just sort of roll back

205
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 3: into places.

206
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: Well, man, I'm going through it right now. Four times.

207
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that was number five, now number four, Yeah,

208
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 3: that's right now. This one was just last year in

209
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 3: Argentina and onue os Ares the team down there. Tarzan,

210
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 3: my friend Tarzan help me organize that.

211
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: People that people.

212
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, now this one was huge. And this was just

213
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: to Christmas. I think this was a December twenty seven.

214
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: And then so Tarzan and I because we were in

215
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: Lima anyway, and I was like, all right, I'll just

216
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: sip over to Buenos Aires. And he put a message

217
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 3: out in his group chat and said we're doing this.

218
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 3: And that's how many people to kran like this was

219
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 3: another tournament that just went on and on and on.

220
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: When you say a tournament like this is what I'm wondering, like,

221
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: who is like somebody has to take control. So he

222
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: was just like swung in from the jungle.

223
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, he around, he organizes all of that, and

224
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 3: and that was just an incredible night as well. And

225
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: Argentina is such a fantastic basketball country and and yeah again.

226
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,479
Speaker 1: There on the Genobli.

227
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 3: Court is so beautiful and I never quite know how

228
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: many going to turn up it. Sometimes I'm like, you know,

229
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: if we get ten, great, we can have a run.

230
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: What is the fewest in Dubrovnik. I had a lot

231
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: of people say they're coming. You've all seen that really

232
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 3: cool court. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I had a lot

233
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: of people say I'm coming, and I put up thinking

234
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: my stories and people saying yeah, I'm coming, I'm coming,

235
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: and I took it down because it's not a great

236
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: court for pickup. It's just a beautiful court. And three

237
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 3: people turned up and two of them are injured, so

238
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: shut around.

239
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah there's probably eating in this photo.

240
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot.

241
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And that was just a great night. And yeah,

242
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: really really special court and great experience out there. And again,

243
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 3: the amount of people who I meet at these who

244
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: know the show, who have you know, followed the show,

245
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: followed the starters of the Basketball Jones. That's what's truly incredible.

246
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: People will bring up something that the Basketball Jones did.

247
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 3: Like someone said, like I remember the first interview you

248
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 3: did with Tony Parker, and I'm just like, oh my god,

249
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: you weren't there. Yeah, so yeah, that's Argentina.

250
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 4: Did I know that you had called manager nobly the Doyen.

251
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 3: Who liked my video from me too. Yeah, so that's

252
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: that's a very very cool number three in South America too.

253
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 3: This is in real Digennio, just another Like it's very

254
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: hard to really articulate how much fun these are. When

255
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 3: I turn up and people organize a run and we

256
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: go out there and play, and hooping is just hooping.

257
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: Once you get on the.

258
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: Court and you know, universal language, and before nobody like again,

259
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: very people are very generous. They come up and say hello,

260
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: and they follow me or the show whatever, and then

261
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 3: once you play, then it's like all right, let let's

262
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 3: go out and and it was really really cool.

263
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: I would imagine some people are like, like they want

264
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: to test you little bit. I mean, you're traveling the

265
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: world playing basketball. There's a little bit like, well let's

266
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: see what this guy's got. It's sure good. Do you

267
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: feel the pressure?

268
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: Not really, because like I can shoot. I know I

269
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 3: can shoot. I'm not driving, I'm not going in the lane,

270
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not I'm not like Kyrie trying to

271
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 3: like bust anyone down.

272
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 4: I know.

273
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who do that stuff where

274
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: they're like they want to show this because I'm like,

275
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: if I get a shot off, I know I can

276
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: hit that shot there.

277
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: What is what is the best you've ever played?

278
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: Would you say the probably Shibernik in the summer, just gone,

279
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: I just got hot downtown. Yeah it was great, it

280
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: was great. Yeah.

281
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: What was the worst?

282
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: Well, there's probably plenty of those. But again, like it like,

283
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 3: I'm not trying, you know, this is not about me

284
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: trying to play basketball, you know, so I'm way more

285
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: interested in just like again the big community and people

286
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 3: coming out and supporting it.

287
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: But look, you're making an Instagram real, there's going to

288
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: be a bucket or two, and this is.

289
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: The odd one or two number two. This one was

290
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 3: in Belgrade and this one is Calummeington Park and this

291
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 3: is just look at this unbelievable setting. And this one

292
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 3: actually came after Dubrovnick. So when no one showed up

293
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: into Brovnick the next day, I was on the DMS

294
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 3: everyone and who said they were coming to Calummeton Park?

295
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: Are you coming? Are you coming?

296
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: And a bit more of a turn.

297
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: Actually a lot of guys that had left as well

298
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 3: at this point. But this is what's cool because this

299
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: is only like four thirty in the afternoon as well,

300
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 3: and I was in November, so it was a chilly day,

301
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: but it was perfect because it wasn't raining. As long

302
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 3: as it's not raining, it's fine. And those guys all

303
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: stuck around and it was just so cool. Those courts

304
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 3: are amazing. Belgrade is such an incredible basketball city. Serbian

305
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: people are so welcoming. They still smoking a lot of restaurants,

306
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: which is it's like going back in time. You know,

307
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: you go to a restaurants, it's like, but no throwing up.

308
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: Well no, but all the secondhand smoke was enough. But

309
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: I mean that whole Balkan region is incredible. But Belgrade

310
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 3: itself was amazing and we had a great crowd turn

311
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: up for that and just had a lot of fun.

312
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 3: And again, when you get photos like that, you're just like, wow,

313
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 3: that is just on the iPhone, just off the I

314
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: don't know who took that. I don't know someone someone

315
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: who was there, because there's a lot of guys who

316
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: you know, shoot their own stuff and then they just

317
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: share those photos with me. So yeah, a lot of

318
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: great guys that This was the one where they all

319
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 3: bought Banana's form, which was great, and yeah, I got

320
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: a weird photo where we were sort of like we

321
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 3: were sort of trying to do a high five, and

322
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: I had my arm around. We ended up just looked

323
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: like we were like slow dancing in the photo, which

324
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: is great. So you're still eating bananas. Of course. I

325
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 3: was going to get the potassium and magnesia mat. And

326
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: then number one, this was just recently in the summer. Yeah, Beijing.

327
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: And there's the reason why that girl there, Hannah. This

328
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 3: is quite an incredible story. I'll try to keep it

329
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: somewhat concise because it's long. But I was supposed to

330
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 3: go to Beijing in May, and then I got the

331
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: opportunity to do ESPN stuff for the conference finals, so

332
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: we postponed it. And then I was going to go

333
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: to Beijing, and I went in September, and I was

334
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 3: talking to my friend Johnny Yang out there, who's also

335
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: no doubt watching, and he said, oh, the courts closed

336
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 3: in until from the start of August to the end

337
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 3: of September. And I'm like, oh, my god, da kidding me,

338
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: you know. Anyway, so I scrapped Beijing. I wasn't going

339
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: to go, and I had another trip to Hong Kong.

340
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: That's why I was going to just leap frog it

341
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: up there to Beijing. Anyway, this other person I follow

342
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: on Instagram was shooting around one day at that court

343
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 3: and I messaged him and I said, I thought that

344
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: was closed. He said no, I just walked in and

345
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: shot around. So I message Johnny back and I said,

346
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: can you Johnny if it's open? And he said, yeah,

347
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: it is, and so I was like, all right. Then

348
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: I hastily, I hastily booked this trip to Beijing, and

349
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: my friend Justin, who's also watching.

350
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: Everybody that's stooting in, just really hit the lake button,

351
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: subscribe and ready.

352
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: But if it wasn't for those people, I wouldn't be

353
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: doing that. That's how they're That's how they're that's how

354
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 3: it's all.

355
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Coming to staying with these people when you go on

356
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: this trip. No, you're just booking a hotel.

357
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 3: Anyway. So so Justin was going to come, but then

358
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: in May he was going to come, but then in

359
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 3: September he couldn't because his wife was about to give birth.

360
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: Excuse me. So I went, I was going to Beijing

361
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: by myself. So I turn up and the court is

362
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 3: like forty five minutes away from my hotel now it's Beijing.

363
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, there's thirty million people. This is going to

364
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 3: be chaos. But their traffic is incredible. It just flows.

365
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: But the communication was a bit of an issue because

366
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 3: like that court doesn't show up in yeah, And so

367
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: I was like, Shao Gong Park is this huge park

368
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 3: where they had the Winter Olympics. You might have seen that, right,

369
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: And so I said, all right, take me to Shogun Park.

370
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 3: And so I went there and I got there and

371
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 3: the guy's just like, here you are, and I'm just like,

372
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 3: I couldn't say pouring with rain, and I'm just like,

373
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: what the hell's going on? And of course your phone

374
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: doesn't work the same way. You have to get this

375
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 3: this ecin right. So it did work, but it wasn't

376
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 3: like it's not you have to change things in your

377
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: fame anyway. So I'm on the side.

378
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: I was thinking for a second, I'm like, maybe he's

379
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: stuck here forty five minutes as the city center.

380
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: Anyway, So this lady walks past against pouring rain, and

381
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: I'm just like, hey, you know, hoping she speaks English,

382
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 3: and she did. She was perfect, and I said, I'm

383
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 3: trying to go here, and she's like oh, you know,

384
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 3: I don't know where that is anyway, jump in in

385
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: another taxi. They got me somewhat close and I could

386
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 3: see the towers and I'm like great, and I go

387
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: up and it's all like sort of fenced off, and

388
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 3: these these Chinese guys are there and I'm just like,

389
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: you know, you know, I have my ball and that.

390
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: They're just like looking at me, like what are you doing?

391
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 4: Man?

392
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: It's like pouring with rain. Anyway, this girl out of

393
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: nowhere just sort of popped up and I could see

394
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: she was interested in learning or practicing her English, and

395
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 3: she said what are you doing? And I said, yeah,

396
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 3: I'm trying to play basketball in the tower there, and

397
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 3: she's like, she's like, you know anyway, So she's she's there,

398
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 3: and then she's talking to the guys and they're like

399
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 3: they're like, well, you know whatever, it's training. But you

400
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: have to pay to go into all of these courts

401
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: and it's only a dollar. But it's like, you know,

402
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 3: you have to be using the restroom. Yeah, exactly now

403
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 3: because my bank I can't access my bank account right

404
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 3: to get the q RK. It's only a dollar. Like

405
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: I'm hitting like the button on my banking out to

406
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: try to get the you know, you got to get

407
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: the password, the code, but it wouldn't come because my

408
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: phone wasn't received, so I couldn't get in right pouring.

409
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: The crossfold, well, this is the of this.

410
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 3: I'm barely even like the tenth of the way through it.

411
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: In the tower.

412
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: I can see it anyway, this is anyway. After about

413
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: an hour, I'm just like, oh my god, you know,

414
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 3: it's still pouring the rain. And I said, I'm going

415
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 3: to come back tomorrow. Is there any chance you can

416
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: come back tomorrow and basically be a translator And she

417
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 3: was like yeah, yeah, no worries. And I'm like okay.

418
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 3: And so the next morning it was dry, which was

419
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 3: which was idea anyway. So she sent me a message

420
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 3: said I'm going to the tower. I said, great, I'll

421
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: meet you there. Same thing with the taxi. I'm like,

422
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 3: I got nowhere in here, no in here the tower

423
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: on the first go. So I had to call another

424
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 3: Diddy and I'm like and I'm trying to show in

425
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 3: photos of like this is where I'm trying to go,

426
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 3: and the guys they're just like, yeah, there's no clue anyway. Eventually,

427
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: like Hannah sent me a pin from her phone and said,

428
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 3: just tell them to go there, drop it. Yeah, And

429
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 3: so I did that and we got to the tower,

430
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 3: but she was on the other side of Shaogung Park

431
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 3: and I was right near the tower anyway. I could

432
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 3: see them, and I'm like, oh my god, I'm here.

433
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: I mean, no matter what, I'm walking in. There's a

434
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 3: couple of guys there and I'm just like waving them,

435
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 3: you know. And I get there and the court is

436
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 3: all fenced off, like just fenced off, and I'm like,

437
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: you've got to be kidding around the tower or okay. Yeah,

438
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 3: So there was no access. It's not getting and there's

439
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: a lot of construction workers doing all this stuff.

440
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: Did you think for one second what if they go

441
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: through the scale and up and drop it?

442
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 3: So I'm there and then and then I said to

443
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 3: Hannah like I'm here, and so she started walking over.

444
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: But I was talking to the guys and I'm again,

445
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, can I just go in there

446
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: and shoot? And they're just looking at me whatever, And

447
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: so I call up my friend Johnny Jang and I said, Juddy,

448
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 3: can you talk to these guys and just let him

449
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: know what I'm trying to do yeah, And so he

450
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 3: talked to them and they came back. They said it's

451
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 3: closed until two o'clock in the afternoon. So I'm like,

452
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: all right, it's ten in the morning or whatever. I'm like,

453
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: I can wait. And then Hannah turns up again out

454
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 3: of nowhere, and I said, I said, listen, I just

455
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 3: spoke to my friend. He said, they're not going to

456
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 3: open it till two o'clock. Is there any chance you

457
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: can just talk to them? And so she talks to

458
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,479
Speaker 3: them and this sort of managerial guy comes out and

459
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 3: he just goes, yeah, yeah, and they just let me

460
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: in from the person exactly didn't even have to pay

461
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 3: my app ready, But I was like, it probably won't work.

462
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: They let me in. So Hannah had just done amazing.

463
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 3: Then I said to her, any chance you could stick

464
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: around and just shoot me shooting around for him?

465
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: Two of you in this call and the podcast listener

466
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: explain what the hell this even?

467
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: So this is an old cooling tower, a nuclear cooling tower.

468
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: Now this was built itself around nineteen seventy five, but

469
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 3: the whole area was like, it's over one hundred years old,

470
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: and so they shut it down a few, probably about

471
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 3: twenty years ago or so, and they've used this now

472
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 3: that the Olympic skating you know, what do you call that,

473
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 3: you know.

474
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: Sloped the hill?

475
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right next to it. So this

476
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: is what they used for the Winter Olympics. And so

477
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 3: now they put this incredible court in there, and there's

478
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 3: like three or four other towers and so they have

479
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 3: other different activities in there, but this court is just unbelievable.

480
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: Like and I remember the video you share, like this

481
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: sound it makes balanc and stuff.

482
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. And so my gift to Hannah was a

483
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant Phoenix Sunni's jersey thanks to Stateside Sports dot

484
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 3: com dot A you. I always have a jersey like

485
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 3: that to give away. There was no one else there,

486
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 3: and I'm like, she deserves it, and she got it.

487
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 3: And so yeah, just just like this is where I

488
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 3: would have loved to have had, especially JD there.

489
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: What would have made this story even.

490
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 3: Better would have just been filming the sort of like

491
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 3: you're so close struggle. Yeah yeah, and just like, oh

492
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 3: my god, is this gonna I'm in Beijing, I've got

493
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 3: no one here to help me, and I got it done.

494
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: Wow?

495
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 4: Did you shoot the ball as high as you possibly could.

496
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 3: Yes, I tried. What I was trying to do was

497
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 3: bounce it off, to bounce it in. Sure, I couldn't

498
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 3: quite get the answer after McDonald's. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And

499
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: I was also exhausted. It was it was so hot,

500
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 3: I was dehydrated. I was dying for a pee, but

501
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 3: I couldn't leave because I wouldn't be able to come

502
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 3: back in. And yeah, it's great.

503
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: It is all of the top fine.

504
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was Yeah, it was tough,

505
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 3: but it was fun. It was fun to put that

506
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 3: one together.

507
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: Right, because it's because it was such a challenge in

508
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: that one to actually make hap. I can't believe you

509
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: went and then left and get back and I guess

510
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: you just have to trust these people you're just meeting

511
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: for the first time.

512
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: Like so much of it is just like, you know what,

513
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 3: I'm just going to go and see what I can do.

514
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 3: And you know, the amount of people who I've had

515
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: just said hey, can you just shoot me? Shooting for

516
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 3: a bit people were like yeah, okay, and then after

517
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 3: ten minutes like al right, I'm done, get out of here.

518
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: Is that the most challenging thing with this whole thing,

519
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 1: the like just having somebody shoot things like the like

520
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: what you know, you're basically a digital content creator, but

521
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: like you don't have a huge team.

522
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: I have no team at all.

523
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 4: No.

524
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 3: I think the hardest thing like like it's no challenge

525
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 3: for me to go to places like I love it

526
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: and I turn up. And part of that is like,

527
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 3: let's just see what happens, like embracing the uncertainty of like,

528
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 3: hey man, I don't know what's going to happen, but

529
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: I'm going to turn up and see. But I think

530
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 3: probably more challenging for me is when I've had deals

531
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 3: or agreements and then they're falling through, you know, closing

532
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: the deal and things like that. And sometimes things get

533
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 3: right up to the end and you think this is

534
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 3: a done deal and it doesn't happen for one reason

535
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 3: or another, and you know, but everything's a lesson in

536
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 3: that sense. You know, you learn and you just think, Okay,

537
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 3: did I maybe did I do something wrong? Did I

538
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 3: was too aggressive or not aggressive enough, or you know,

539
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 3: did I not lock in that agreement early enough or whatever?

540
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: And but that's fine. You know, it's like you just

541
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 3: keep on going.

542
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you're still doing it, you're obviously still enjoying

543
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: it enough.

544
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: Well. Again, so much of it is like because people

545
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 3: keep saying, hey, you want to do this, we want

546
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 3: you to do that. Then there's offers and there's things

547
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: like that, and so trying to make it all happen.

548
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 3: But the main goal right now is not necessarily more content.

549
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: That's trying to build out the content that I've got

550
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 3: into the dock and pitching that around. I pitched it

551
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 3: to a couple of places last year and still none

552
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 3: for at the moment, no takers. But but I'm still

553
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 3: going to keep trying because sure again, like like with

554
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 3: you guys, I do think you know, twenty years ago,

555
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: like what were you guys thinking at the time, you know,

556
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: like we.

557
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: Just put up the first pilot episode.

558
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 3: That's all it is cut that, yeah, you know, and

559
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 3: it took like four years before you sort of harassed

560
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 3: the score and you got there. And so that's the

561
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 3: way I'm sort of am right now. It's like every

562
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 3: time you get a knock back, you just go, Okay, well,

563
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 3: I'm just going to try again for someone else. And

564
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 3: I've got a couple of actives out there, and we'll

565
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 3: see where they go.

566
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 4: From why do you picked up any international trash talk

567
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 4: in your journeys.

568
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 3: I've been called the crazy gringo in Brazil. I think

569
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 3: I've heard a few choice words.

570
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 2: From time to time.

571
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 3: I haven't been able to necessarily translate them all. But

572
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 3: that's the thing is to do. When you step out

573
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 3: on the court, you hear a few things and you

574
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: hear a few words. And that's what I love about it,

575
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 3: is like all the niceties go away once you start playing.

576
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: People want to when absolutely they do, and like you're

577
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 3: saying before, pep want a chance to me, they also

578
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 3: want to sort of show off to as well. So

579
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 3: you know I've had are happening. Yeah right, that's right,

580
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 3: And you know, people, hey take me in this, take

581
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 3: me we'll see.

582
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: What was your most viral video, would you say from

583
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: this entire experience?

584
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 3: It was in Belgrade? Actually, yeah, that one had about

585
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 3: three million views and that was at that Courtington Park.

586
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 3: And you know, because again, like I'm not trying to

587
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 3: show off my own highlights all the time. I'm trying

588
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 3: to tell stories about what that court means and the

589
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 3: people there and what basketball means and how those people

590
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 3: relate to each other and communicate with each other.

591
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong. One of the coolest things

592
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: I thought was, like some court you went to that

593
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: was pretty run down and like falling apart. I think

594
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: because you went to it, maybe there was like some

595
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: support online to get it redipt.

596
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well this is in Zagreb, actually, JD, that's a video.

597
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: We can talk over it, I guess. So this was

598
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 3: in Tushkanik in Zagreb, and zag Croatia is a huge

599
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 3: basketball country anyway, and I played a game there and

600
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: the person who was helping me organize it said, that

601
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 3: court's really run down. You might want to play at

602
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: a gym, and I'm like, no, I don't want to

603
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: play indoor jams. Like this is the whole thing is

604
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 3: like the storytelling. And so that court where we played

605
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 3: was just falling apart. And it's where Sabona, the team

606
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: that Dras and Petrovitch played for first played back in

607
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 3: nineteen forty eight. It was a tennis court and these

608
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 3: two local change it into a basketball and then in

609
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 3: twenty eleven, Derek Rose was out there and they renovated.

610
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 3: It was beautiful, but it just they just left it right.

611
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 3: And so I put up my video and I said,

612
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 3: this is a historically important court, and people from some

613
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: bona said, oh, the government saw it and they're going

614
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 3: to renovate it. Oh core, that's pretty hard impact, man,

615
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 3: I know, like that's the sort of genuine impact that

616
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 3: I'm trying to leave behind, like so much better than

617
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 3: the way that I that I left it, and that

618
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 3: story was going in it was so great and I

619
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: was like, we're going to have a big opening and

620
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: everything like that. And then something happened there. I don't

621
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 3: know exactly, although I have a fairly strong idea what happened.

622
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: Once government money gets involved, then you know a few

623
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 3: people got their hands in the cookie jar there. And

624
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 3: so the court is beautiful, but it did happen, like

625
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 3: absolutely happened. Yet it was supposed to be a lot

626
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 3: better and bigger than it was, but that didn't happen.

627
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 3: But I played there in the summer and it was

628
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 3: it was awesome. So to have that sort of impact,

629
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: it was like, you know, that's that's what I like

630
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 3: to talk about.

631
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Yeah, you must remember that. You must feel that,

632
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 5: oh for.

633
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: Sure, for sure. And and other people have since contacted

634
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 3: me and said, hey, can you come out and do

635
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: a video on hous because we're trying to get some

636
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: funding as well, and you know, so that's the sort

637
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 3: of stuff where I'm like, Okay, this is where I

638
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: can take it as well. And this is part of

639
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: the pitches too, Like Ted Sarandos at Netflix dot Com

640
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: is like, listen, you know, this is not just about

641
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: me playing basketball, as I've said, It's like, listen, this

642
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 3: is the impact we can have, yeah, of course, and

643
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 3: seeing what when kids can turn up and play and

644
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 3: really love the game and have good, high quality facilities

645
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: and if I leave balls behind and things like that,

646
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: it's like, that's what I'm trying to do, you know.

647
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: And look, the balls don't last five minutes. I mean

648
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 3: they're brand new balls thanks to spauldingland Tam.

649
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: Get your.

650
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 3: Your preyers, n you know you can't there's obviously you

651
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: can't do too much more than just do that. But

652
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: that's that's something like that is where you feel like, right,

653
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 3: that's you know, really impact.

654
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: Are you an incredible packer now? Because of all the.

Speaker 6: Travels m or nasting interesting that well, I always like

656
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 6: you have to do you travel with a basketball? I

657
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 6: travel with several balls most of the time, so deflated yes, yeah, okay, yeah,

658
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 6: yeah yeah, and thanks to Spoiling Latam for those, because

659
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 6: everywhere I go I try to deep in the way surprise,

660
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 6: you know, half court competition or something like that.

661
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 3: But you have your own ball, well, I usually just

662
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 3: have one of those balls that I played.

663
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: I always wonder that.

00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:29,520

Speaker 3: reason if I lose my luggage or whatever.

671
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, the ball, you know, gotchay, You got a little

672
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: pump in the ball.

673
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: Got a little pump, gotcha? Yeah yeah yeah.

674
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: In addition to obviously the basketball passport or before the

675
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty twenty you were doing some work for ESPN Australia.

676
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: So ere a league action. You know, how did that

677
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: come about? And how fun was that?

678
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: Well, same thing you were league. Shout out to Mike,

679
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 3: he's probably watching. He's a big fan of the show. Yeah. Thanks.

680
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 3: He sent me a message and said, hey, you want

681
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 3: to come out and do some euro League stuff? I said, yeah,

682
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: of course, and so I did some stuff with them.

683
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 3: Mike's no longer there unfortunately. But yeah, I haven't done

684
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 3: any of euro League stuff this season, but hopefully I do.

685
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 3: It's it's a great league a sense, there's a little

686
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 3: bit of anxiety right now, that's your opinion.

687
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they they're going to do there, so I'm

688
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: not sure exactly suit's coming.

689
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 3: I mean, one huge thing for euro League happened in

690
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 3: the positive was the Barcelona apparently has agreed to a

691
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 3: ten year license, which is huge. However, Real Madrid apparently

692
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: is likely to join the new one, so that's massive

693
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 3: because those are the two teams especially you need. And

694
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 3: if you've got one and the other one's got the other,

695
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 3: I'm not sure how that's going to work. But I

696
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 3: know those other teams, like the Greek teams and the

697
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: Serbian teams, Italian teams, like whichever way they go is

698
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 3: going to determine which league succeeds and which one fails.

699
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 3: And and I think I think you're a league sensing

700
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 3: a little bit of anxiety because the NBA and FEVER

701
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 3: together have got you know, obviously financial resources and the

702
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 3: ability to make it happen. So we'll see.

703
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: You're also a regular down at the Fortress in Atlanta. Yes, yes,

704
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: light of clips of your talking to Jason down Yeah

705
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: from Melbourne, from Bendigo actually shout out Dice, Yeah, there

706
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: you go. How fun has that?

707
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 3: It's been unreal. In fact, just last week the Pelicans

708
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 3: were here and I saw our old friend John a. Yes,

709
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 3: I swear to god, that was the first thing we

710
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 3: talked about. He must have seen some of my stuff.

711
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 3: He said, you've got to play with Adam Sandler, and

712
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: I said, I said, yeah, of course, I would love

713
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: to it.

714
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 1: He goes.

715
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 3: He always takes his dog with him. Shout out to

716
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 3: John he's great. No, yeah, he's great. Joel chatting to

717
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 3: him and absolutely. That's the other thing is the amount

718
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: of people who you see again the show. The starter

719
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 3: is seven years ago. It feels like people still remember it,

720
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 3: you know. And yeah, so I've spoken to a lot

721
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 3: of players and coaches and people who you know, just

722
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 3: remember me and remember the show. Kyle Lowry, of course,

723
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: favorite Kyle. He's great, He's always got lots to say.

724
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 3: Had a nice little video of him. Just before Vincent's

725
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 3: number got retired. I think the Sixers were going to

726
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 3: Toronto and I chatted to him and I saw him

727
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 3: before the game and we were talking and I said,

728
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 3: I said, you've got a couple of minutes after the game,

729
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 3: said yeah, no worries, And so I went and after

730
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 3: the game he had two plates of food and I thought,

731
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 3: but now he doesn't really play all that much, and

732
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 3: so I thought, I thought, maybe I could just do

733
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: the thing. And he said, I'll just you know, eat

734
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 3: and watch ower and clean up. And I waited, like

735
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: forty five minutes. You had to juice that boost, man.

736
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: I think it was also in the playoffs of the

737
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: photo can. I remember tweeting this and people got to

738
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: kick out of it. There was a shot of Spike

739
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: Lee on the broadcast and who was behind them? But

740
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: Speke Lee was the tweet spelled l E I g

741
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: H and got some numbers. But yeah, you're at some

742
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: of these posts.

743
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 3: That all the Nicks and Paces series. Yeah, it was

744
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 3: an incredible series. And that was Australia, Australia. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

745
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 3: I did a couple of games of the Knick Celtics

746
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 3: prior to that. Yeah, so yeah, great experience. I mean,

747
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 3: you know Madison Square Guard. Have you ever been to

748
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 3: a game there?

749
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: I actually have it? Am I wrong?

750
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: No, you're not.

751
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: I'm not wrong those years telling everyone you got to

752
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: go to the Necker.

753
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 3: Now Belgrade's own arena when it's a when it's a

754
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 3: Red Star versus Partisling, that's the one that you sort

755
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 3: of have to compare it to because that's just insane.

756
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: Is that the one that brain Wenthors just went, yes, yeah.

757
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But but Madison Square Garden, I mean,

758
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 3: the nixt they should have won that series, you know,

759
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: but honestly, that Tyrese bombed that sent the game to overtime.

760
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 3: What an incredible moment to be there for that and

761
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 3: to experience that. So yeah, it was awesome. It was

762
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 3: really really cool.

763
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: Or obviously running a little longer, I want to get

764
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: you guys have any more questions about les you know,

765
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: basketball passport.

766
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 4: Where are the Hoopers at? Where was your best game?

767
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 3: Again? Very very tough. Probably probably Brazil just athletes hoopers.

768
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: And then maybe the football translates.

769
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 3: They play with a sort of flare, you know, Croatia

770
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 3: in the Balkan regions. Tough, good, you know, teamwork basketball there.

771
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 3: First game over played in Lubliana at Luka Doncic just court,

772
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 3: the beautiful court there and I thought, we'll play five.

773
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 3: We had a lot of guys and everyone's going five.

774
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 3: No one plays five, all three on three. Yeah, And

775
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 3: so they ended up playing five for me. But I

776
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 3: was like, no, it's fine, we'll play three because then

777
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 3: more people can play. But what you learn from three

778
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 3: on three is it is actually a better format for

779
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 3: pickup because you stay involved in the player. Sure, sure

780
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 3: you pick up here, you know and everywhere. When it's

781
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 3: five and it's full court, it tends to be a

782
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 3: little bit of one on one stuff, whereas three on

783
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 3: three if you're if you're lazy on defense, your man's

784
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 3: going to cook you straight away.

785
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: And were you playing the three on three rules where

786
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: if you score it's like sort of live ball. You

787
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: got to get it past three point in the Olympics.

788
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: It depends on where you are.

789
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 3: It depends on where you are, Like in Croatia, you

790
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 3: check the ball at the end, right, so if you

791
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 3: score it, they take it out and throw it in

792
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 3: from there.

793
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: But in become the baseline, Yeah, on the.

794
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 3: Baseline, But in Belgrade I think it was you check

795
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 3: it at the top. So you're always trying.

796
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: To like, what are the rules, what's the weirdest rule

797
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: in all honesty of all your international pickup games. So

798
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: you're like, what or like scoring or whatever, checking for

799
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: me is sounds weird unusual.

800
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I get I guess trying to figure

801
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 3: out because sometimes it's like make it, take it, and

802
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 3: other times it's just like if you make it, the

803
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 3: other team just gets the ball. You're just going to

804
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 3: be ready for that.

805
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: Are you doing here?

806
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? But overall, I mean it just sort of depends

807
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 3: where you. Like, I've played legitimate games like Mexico City

808
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: we had refs and like that, but that was awesome

809
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: because it's outdoor. Guys are stepping in, taking charges on

810
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 3: the concrete and stuff, and I'm like, wow, you know,

811
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm trying to avoid any sort of any

812
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 3: sort of injuries through that. Yeah. Yeah, it's great.

813
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 4: That's like from country to country, you know, just judging

814
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 4: by the photos, some places play maybe we're wearing different jerseys,

815
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 4: but a lot of places are still playing shirts versus skins.

816
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: Yeah.

817
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, for the most part, it happened quite as often here.

818
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: No.

819
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, someplace I've been, like in Peru we had like

820
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 3: sort of bibs and then actually in South Parliament in

821
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 3: Brazil we had bibs as well, but then most of

822
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 3: the time it's just sort of shirts and it's like

823
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 3: sort of colored or just you know. Yeah, like in

824
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: Brazil it was all skins down there, but they got

825
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 3: great bodies and.

826
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: What's next, like must visit play country left.

827
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 3: So there's one in China. There's another one. There's this

828
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 3: cave court and I was trying to get to that

829
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 3: on this last but it's not easy to get to.

830
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 3: It's not like you just jump on a train and

831
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 3: you're there.

832
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: It's like that's the most fun rate now for you,

833
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: Like these really unique different courts.

834
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Like I say, I'm not really interested

835
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 3: in indoor courts, as beautiful as they may be. And

836
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 3: you know like Madison Square Garden. I mean like if

837
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 3: I could do a video there, of course I would

838
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 3: do that. But this one in China, that's like in

839
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 3: a cave that's been dug out and it's just like

840
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 3: the echo and there looks right and this is like

841
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 3: in the remote China, is not in the city or

842
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 3: anything like that. So that's the one I'm trying to

843
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 3: get to. Spoke to Jimmy Butler about that last year

844
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 3: because Jimmy, Jimmy travels. He loves to travel. Jimmy loves

845
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 3: to travel. And after the Warriors were here last year,

846
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 3: I spoke to him about that and then after we

847
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 3: stopped filming, I said, where are you going this summer?

848
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 3: And he said, oh, there's this court in China, this

849
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 3: cave and I said, I know that one. Yeah, he

850
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 3: went to China, but he didn't go out there. So

851
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 3: but again I think, yeah, and it's hard, it's hard

852
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: to get to so that's cool. Yeah, yeah, it would

853
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 3: be awesome because apparently it's sixteen degrees celsius, so what's

854
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 3: that about? Fifty five or so fahrenheit like all year round,

855
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 3: middle of winter. Some of the way that it's like,

856
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 3: you know, just is in the cave that it doesn't change.

857
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 3: But there's a court there and that's where I'd love

858
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 3: to do a clinic. That would be great because nobody,

859
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 3: I would think, would speak English out there, and so

860
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 3: that's where the communication of the game at the ball

861
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 3: is like basketball is the language. Like you can host

862
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 3: a clinic when people because most of the time people

863
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 3: don't speak English as their first language. And that's what

864
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to say. Is like we can teach

865
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 3: through body language and movement and non verbal communication to

866
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 3: still achieve something. Yeah, absolutely, well, that's cool.

867
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 2: Come out on ted surrenders that netflix you and Jimmy.

868
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: Well that's right there, and Lee traveling or the hell Yes,

869
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean, let's get into a little hoopstock here with you.

870
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: Last night and I can't believe we timed this perfectly.

871
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: There was a game in Berlin, yeah, yesterday afternoon, and

872
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: it was an entertaining one and late in the fourth

873
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: quarter we had Anthony Black Euro stepping his way through

874
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: four defenders for an insane dunk versus the Grizzlies. Like

875
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: he basically dunked on the entire team here. It's in

876
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: the running for dunk of the Year. And this was

877
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: a tie game a couple of minutes to go again,

878
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: international game, Absolutely.

879
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 3: Huge, absolutely massive because he gets it clean as well.

880
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 3: And that's the thing is you see those four dudes

881
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 3: trying to stop. Yeah, that was so cool, big big

882
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 3: win for the magic In the end, ye down that

883
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 3: one and yeah, right, there's the there's the viral.

884
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: I mean, he has to have that hanging in his

885
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: house by the end of the week. Like you're probably

886
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: not gonna have a better shot from you playing basketball

887
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: if you're Anthony Black.

888
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

889
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 5: I like how he just got over the rim because

890
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 5: he kind of hit it at first but got it

891
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 5: over That made it perfect.

892
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: He said he hadn't jumped that high since like his

893
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: high school days or something like that.

894
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 4: He said, okay, yeah, I mean that was like five

895
00:40:59,200 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 4: years ago.

896
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a very young guy still.

897
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 4: It was didn't make the top five in dunk score

898
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 4: from last night. Yeah, this is his nineteenth of forty

899
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 4: one dunks via dunks. Yeah, well it's broken exactly right. Yeah,

900
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 4: Dunk photo of the Year, the top five of last Yeah,

901
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 4: like everything, every team's dunks.

902
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know the dunk score, Yeah, not all that well,

903
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 3: but I know all that.

904
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: Don't know the formula, nobody. We've been still trying to

905
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: figure it out. JD show last night's games, please if

906
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: you will. I don't know if there's any of you

907
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: guys want to touch on. We had the Spurs beat

908
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: the Bucks. The big story from that is Wemby and

909
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: Kelton Johnson going bald, yeah, shaving their heads, and then

910
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: a couple of the jackals the Spurs support section did

911
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: that thunder beat the Rockets. Like we said, the Magic

912
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: beat the Grizzlies. Nicks lose again, Oh, Hornets wax the Lakers.

913
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: Oh good one between the Suns and Pistons. Celtics came

914
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: back to beat the Heat, Mass beat the Jazz, and

915
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: the Blazers beat the Hawks. Any of those games leads

916
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: that you either caught or you want to address.

917
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 3: Well, the Hornets are just crazy, an't they. I mean

918
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 3: they smoked the Thunder by what twenty What was that twenty.

919
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 4: I don't know what the final score was.

920
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, if if LaMelo Ball actually becomes a

921
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 3: serious player, because it feels like he's just playing three

922
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 3: on three himself with his friends, but he's got that

923
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 3: unique style. He hits those crazy shots, but it just

924
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 3: feels like he's not fully committed there to the team.

925
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 7: I love Brandon Miller and rookie beautiful shooter of the.

926
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 3: Basketball honestly, like he's probably going to beat Steph if

927
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 3: he keeps going, like in terms of most most threes

928
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 3: by the end of his career, he's already he's already.

929
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: Go on already on piece. Yes, because Steph obviously.

930
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 3: Started slow rookie and it could be playing for twenty

931
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 3: years nineteen or I guarantee this, he's going to get

932
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 3: the single season record soon. Four hundred and two is.

933
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: Then Okay, now, now that's a little more interesting. But

934
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: I'll bet you a banana that three is a step.

935
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 1: I'll take that. I'll take that.

936
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 3: We'll be back in twenty years to cash in on it.

937
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 3: But I mean, like it makes sense because yeah, Steph's

938
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 3: first couple of years, he obviously wasn't the steff that

939
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 3: he became, and they're going to be dude who just

940
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 3: come into the league just firing away. And that shot

941
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 3: is so clean as well, Like it's not like he

942
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 3: has to work on the mechanics and what he was

943
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 3: the fourth pick I think in the draft last year. Ye,

944
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 3: so you know, I mean like I always think, you know,

945
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan said, like when when he retired, they said

946
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 3: he was us think anyone would better than he was, Well, yeah,

947
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 3: they will be at some point, you know, because Jordan

948
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 3: was better than everyone else before him, So it's going

949
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 3: to happen. I think the same thing here with someone

950
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 3: like Conkinent. Maybe he doesn't, but I'm just so far,

951
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, that shot is already as clean as anything.

952
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely any of the games from last night, you guys

953
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: wanted to touch on or something from a game I thought

954
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: a big time win for the Warriors.

955
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 4: They played a really ugly for the first quarter, but

956
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 4: then they picked it up on defense. Then Lee's traveling

957
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 4: partner Jimmy Butler an awesome game, finished with thirty two,

958
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 4: eight and four and a couple of steals. In January,

959
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 4: he's got his highest points per game, his highest usage.

960
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 4: Two of his five thirty plus point games this season

961
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 4: have come in January. When Jimmy scores twenty or more,

962
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 4: the Warriors are thirteen and eight. They're ten and eleven

963
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 4: when he doesn't score twenty or more points. So I

964
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 4: think he's I don't know if rounding in the form

965
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 4: is the right word, but understanding that he needs to

966
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 4: be a consistent presence next to stuff because you know

967
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 4: Steph is going to perform. So if they can get

968
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 4: a good performance from Jimmy as well, and then like

969
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 4: one other guy, the Warriors can be good. And the

970
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 4: other guy last night was Pajemski nineteen points eight of

971
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 4: nine from the field, and he was just making ridiculous

972
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 4: shows like crazy angles, old man moves, and then he

973
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 4: was just hot and couldn't miss in the second half.

974
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 4: So a nice win for the Warriors and an ugly

975
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 4: one for the Knicks.

976
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 3: I thought, Yeah, the Knicks, I think they're going to

977
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 3: fall off a bit. I think they have Yeah, yeah,

978
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 3: I mean's injured again and honestly, you know Brunson in

979
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 3: that game, Yeah, I think part of this guy's back

980
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 3: to what I saw in the playoffs there again, a

981
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 3: Tom Thibodeaux team did a fantastic job to get the

982
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 3: Knicks there, but he just drove those guys into the ground.

983
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 3: And you know, I wonder if that he's going to

984
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 3: have an impact on there.

985
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: But Mike Brown has changed that up and it's trying

986
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: to get a little bit more from his bench.

987
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but it just sort of I'm just

988
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 3: they just look exhausted again to me. You know, you

989
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 3: don't think it's like could be mid season, Malise and

990
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 3: you know that could be, but I don't know. It

991
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 3: just it just feels like they're just I think they're

992
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 3: going to run out of gas possibly.

993
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: And look, Cat is playing poorly right now. We had

994
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: him on the All Star team yesterday when we made

995
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,439
Speaker 1: our PEX, but like I mean, last night dreamont Green

996
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: like he loves trying to test him and try and

997
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: punk him. I think even Jimmy gets in on it,

998
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, those two special.

999
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing with Cat. I think that sort

1000
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 3: of weakness has never fully been addressed by him. You know.

1001
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 3: But when he decides to play, he's still awesome. But yeah,

1002
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 3: not sure, not not convinced on the Knicks.

1003
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, that's not a lot for the All Star Game,

1004
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 5: especially with the way the Knicks are following, and when

1005
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 5: the coaches at the ballot and they look at it

1006
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 5: and they see, oh, the Knicks are drop in here.

1007
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 2: They're not number one anymore.

1008
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 5: They're literally dropping three four as the Celtics prop over them.

1009
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 2: So now, good night without Jayleen Bruns. And that's for sure.

1010
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the Warriors. Becuz forward Jonathan Kaminga

1011
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: demanded a trade on Thursday, the Davy became eligible to

1012
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: be moved. This is from Anthony Slater and Champ Sharon

1013
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: Yeat ESPN. So Kminga couldn't be traded until January fifteenth

1014
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: due to the two year, forty eight point five million

1015
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 1: dollar contract he signed last September. Following an extended period

1016
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: of negotiations. Were you surprised that Kaming and his team

1017
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: are saying on the day he could be traded, I

1018
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: want out of here.

1019
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 3: Yeah no, I mean, this story's been going on for

1020
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 3: so long, this is this was all well, maybe not

1021
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 3: on this particular day. He was going to say it,

1022
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 3: but the Warriors really only signed him as an asset.

1023
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:52,959
Speaker 3: So I tried him.

1024
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: Right, but then played him yeah early for.

1025
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, he's a good player. He's got talent, but

1026
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 3: he can't seem to get it together, whether that's a

1027
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 3: personal thing with Steve courtr or he just can't seem

1028
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 3: to find some consistent rhythm. I think he'll get something

1029
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 3: on the market there, but he needs to find the

1030
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 3: right situation I suppose.

1031
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, such a unique scenario there, especially because it's a

1032
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 5: team option on his contract for next season, so a

1033
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,760
Speaker 5: team can really play it how they want.

1034
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 2: To play it. Oh we don't like this guy, see ya.

1035
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 5: But there's other options out there, like Anthony Simons dropped

1036
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 5: thirty nine last night. So the kaminga thing. The Warriors

1037
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 5: teammates playing it so nicely, so well, Draymond Green getting

1038
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 5: interviewed about it. I wish the best for John thinking like,

1039
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 5: not bad, nothing at all. Jimmy Butler with his new haircut. Also,

1040
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 5: I wish the best for John think Mingga. Jimmy Butler's

1041
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,919
Speaker 5: had two haircuts in two days. I mean he's now

1042
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 5: got the braids dropping rather than letting it free. He's

1043
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 5: doing his mid season thing. Somebody's got to take him.

1044
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 5: Somebody's got to take HIMINGA, but what are they getting back?

1045
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: Very very animal, not a lot of demand for a

1046
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: thin KAMINGA and B. You are not trading in a

1047
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: power position if you're the Warriors, knowing full well, like

1048
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: everybody's like, you don't even want them. Yeah, you're saying

1049
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: all the right things, but you don't even play them.

1050
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be there and you don't really

1051
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 1: want them, So why would we offer you anything of note?

1052
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: But we'll see if it's still the Kings that want them,

1053
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: or if there's another team, or if it's a three

1054
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: team deal. They say reportedly they're prioritizing expiring contracts. That

1055
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: to me, even it's like we don't even expect them

1056
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: whole lot like anything. Give us some contract that's going

1057
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: to come off the books at the end of the

1058
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: year and we'll make it happen. Yeah, because he's buried

1059
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the bench. So we'll see if

1060
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: it happened toon because we haven't obviously talked to you

1061
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: in a long time. It was the biggest surprise from

1062
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: the first half of the season to you. Team player storyline.

1063
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 3: Well, the Celtics have been incredible considering Tatum is not there,

1064
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 3: and by contrast, the Pacers have been so bad. Now.

1065
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 3: I know, obviously ty Reese is not there and Myles

1066
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 3: Turner's not there, but they made the conference finals, they

1067
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 3: were half away from winning the championship. They shouldn't be

1068
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 3: this bad, right, And again, the things that stood out

1069
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 3: to me was just how deep they were in the playoffs,

1070
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 3: Like Rick Carlo played everyone and everyone seemed to contribute.

1071
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 3: So I think they're nine and thirty two or.

1072
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: Three game win streak.

1073
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 3: Can you be so bad? Whereas the Celtics without their

1074
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 3: number one start, Jalen Brown. I mean, Jaylen Brown's got

1075
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 3: to be in the MVP. He's at the table, my friend.

1076
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,399
Speaker 3: But also just the way that he's he there's been

1077
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 3: no excuses out of Boston whatsoever. There's like and if

1078
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 3: they get Tatum back, which I know is not confirmed,

1079
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 3: but he may come back, especially if he comes like

1080
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 3: a month before the playoffs. The Celtics are probably well

1081
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 3: not maybe favor of the Pistons have been really good,

1082
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 3: but I would be pretty happy with the selfish if

1083
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 3: they get Tatum back with fresh legs and enough time

1084
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 3: to get him conditioning up.

1085
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: I think there was a clip of Teatum last night.

1086
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: I saw the lip breaders saying he said, I'm ready. Yeah,

1087
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: so when he could be, I'm ready to eat after

1088
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: the game.

1089
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 2: That was with your fan, right, I think getting a

1090
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 2: lot of good live breading last night, moan stuff as well.

1091
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 5: The practice Yeah, yeah, was that yesterday or I think

1092
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 5: that was actually the day before, But yeah.

1093
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: Are you surprised or were you surprised at all? I

1094
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: should say about the Hawks treating Tree around the Hawks

1095
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: a lot, So this.

1096
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 3: Was This was there last year as well, and coming

1097
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 3: into pre season as well. It was almost awkward at

1098
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 3: media day, you know, because he didn't get the extension

1099
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 3: and no one really expected them to sign him to that.

1100
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 3: And then once the season started, they got off to

1101
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 3: bat start, then he missed all that time and they

1102
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 3: were better, and it was just clear that it was

1103
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 3: like it's time to move on, and Jalen Johnson is

1104
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 3: clearly the number one guy there. Now. He's been great,

1105
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 3: his defense needs a lot of work still, but I

1106
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 3: think it just came to that point where it's like

1107
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 3: they can't do anything else with trade, like they can't

1108
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 3: bring him off the bench or have him as the

1109
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 3: two guard or anything like that. So it was time

1110
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 3: to move on. And Yeah, it's very interesting being around

1111
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 3: a team because you do pick up on a lot

1112
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 3: of things. You hear things, you talk to people, and

1113
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 3: you can just sort of sense. It was like, yeah,

1114
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 3: they're going to try to move off him, but not

1115
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 3: in a not in a way like it is with

1116
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 3: Kuminga where it's like, you know, there's clear tension there.

1117
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 3: It's more like, out of respect, we'll try to find

1118
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 3: a situation that works for you and works for us.

1119
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 3: And he's at the Wizards, I.

1120
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: Mean, contract extension to lead a young team again, and

1121
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:26,439
Speaker 1: maybe it works out for him.

1122
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe it does, maybe do a little bit of

1123
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 3: a nothing. But that's the other thing. Actually, been around

1124
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 3: the scene, I got that the Wizards were talking to

1125
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 3: the Hawks and CJ was the deal coming back, and

1126
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, can I tweet that and He's like, well,

1127
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 3: I wouldn't tweet it yet because it's not like it's

1128
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 3: it's sort of preliminary stages that I'm sitting on it.

1129
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, I've got a scoop.

1130
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: I've got it would have been your bigger scoop since Josh.

1131
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 3: And so I was like, damn, And I'm very careful

1132
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 3: because you don't want to you don't want to go

1133
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 3: out that and then it just goes to nothing because

1134
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 3: then it's like you haven't got any intel, you haven't

1135
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 3: got any connections. And so when it came out when

1136
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 3: Steiny was the one, I think who first, I was there,

1137
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 3: but I had in fact, I mean again I'm not

1138
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 3: going to say I had the whole deal, but I

1139
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 3: know it was like because I was surprised, I said

1140
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 3: the Wizards and said, yeah, that's that's the Wizards and

1141
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 3: the Hawks talking and it's likely to be see Jay

1142
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 3: as the primary piece coming back. Man, I've nearly got

1143
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:23,280
Speaker 3: a scoop.

1144
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 4: Scoop, I mean you had it, you just.

1145
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I did.

1146
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 3: And I was like, because if again, if if that

1147
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,959
Speaker 3: just doesn't happen, then you just look like an idiot. Yeah,

1148
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 3: you know, you've got to be locked in on it.

1149
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: Okay, speaking of like Clarkskuys that you talked to just

1150
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: started this because of your ESPN fan base and all

1151
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: that you do talk to days and dannels. Have you

1152
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: ever talked to him about improving his three point shot?

1153
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 3: You give him some much, you know, we we we

1154
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 3: I mean serious, Well, I don't give him tip, but

1155
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 3: I mean he's struggle eleven why I don't think he's

1156
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 3: made one in a month. And the one thing I

1157
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 3: will say about him is I'm surprised that the results

1158
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 3: are bad because he works so hard on it. I

1159
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 3: see him working with Kyle korre for I see him

1160
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 3: practicing it. He is one of those dudes at the

1161
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 3: end of practice continually working on it. The mechanics are fine,

1162
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 3: but it's the confidence and the way that he the

1163
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 3: way that he shoots it. It's almost like he's going

1164
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 3: through a checklist, like Okay, square up, you know, leg here,

1165
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 3: elbow in shot, release, follow through. You can almost see that,

1166
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 3: whereas someone like Kevin Huerta, the bulls are here not

1167
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 3: long ago watching him warm up, and it's like he's

1168
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 3: actually a really beautiful shooter of the ball because he

1169
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 3: just catches it and it's like rhythmic. And so one

1170
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 3: thing I would say to Dyce and if he ever asked,

1171
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 3: is like you just step into it a little bit

1172
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 3: more rather than sort of catch and then go through

1173
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 3: the shoot and release. So but again it's it's he's

1174
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 3: a young player and the confidence is obviously not there

1175
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 3: with it, but they need him to start making those shots.

1176
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of people are pointing out here

1177
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: because he obviously helps in a lot of other regards,

1178
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: but in today's NBA, like you've got to be able

1179
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: to hit at least be somewhat of a reliable threat.

1180
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 3: Last year he hit a huge one in Boston, he

1181
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 3: hit a huge one in Madison square guns, so he

1182
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 3: can make them. But right now that confidence is not there,

1183
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 3: and what teams are doing, as of course everyone's seen,

1184
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 3: is they're putting like a big on him and saying

1185
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 3: shoot he's but the difference between him and Tony Allen,

1186
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 3: he's like, okay, fine, I'm not I can't shoot that.

1187
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 3: But he's also making his impact. His assists the right

1188
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 3: up evan career high and he's got that little flow

1189
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 3: to that little mid range push shot that is still

1190
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 3: effective enough. But until he can really make them defend

1191
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 3: him on the three point line. That's going to be

1192
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 3: something he has to work on.

1193
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 4: Based on all the teams you've seen down at the Fortress,

1194
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 4: who's been most impressive to you as as a team

1195
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 4: you're watching that now this team might be the champions.

1196
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 3: Well, the Pistons, Yeah, yeah, Kay cunningham Man, he is

1197
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 3: so smooth. He's he's a bit of Damon Litit, He's

1198
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 3: a bit of Brandon Roy Like. He's just he's just

1199
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 3: got that ability to get where he wants to, to

1200
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 3: make a shot, take a shot, he passes while he

1201
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 3: trusts his teammates. And you know, because first couple of

1202
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 3: seasons he barely played and the Piston feels sucked and

1203
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 3: even two years ago they lost twenty eight in a row.

1204
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 3: But now, like when he's got the ball in his hands,

1205
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 3: it's like it's like he's in his back and he's

1206
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 3: so much fun to watch and I love just watching

1207
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 3: him warm up and go through his routine. A lot

1208
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 3: of guys it's funny you see him and they just

1209
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 3: shoot three pointers and then they go back and do it.

1210
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 3: Caid works on everything, both hands, little flickers, little floaters

1211
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 3: off the backboard, mid range to step backs, free throws,

1212
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 3: long three, short threes, like everything, and I'm really really

1213
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 3: happy to see where they go. They were honestly like

1214
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,919
Speaker 3: two or three shots away from knocking out the Knicks

1215
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 3: last season. It was a hell of a credit like that,

1216
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony Towns like sort of falling out a bound

1217
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 3: shot was one and then the last player I think

1218
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 3: was a foul and Tim Hardaway that was not called

1219
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 3: that again. If they got it back to New York

1220
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 3: for Game seven, the Pistons were very comfortable there. So yeah,

1221
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 3: really like the Pistons believer.

1222
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 5: He's dunk last name three of sixteen, but it's great

1223
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 5: to see that all those other guys win the game

1224
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 5: for him.

1225
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah against the Yeah, yeah, they still win it.

1226
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,439
Speaker 1: And KEI it will be an All Star, no doubt.

1227
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: This in two twenty six in l A.

1228
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 3: Uh, well, well so last week he's going you weren't

1229
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 3: there last year. I was there last year. I'm not

1230
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 3: sure if I'm going on not this year. But the

1231
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 3: Pistons were here just before the All Star teams were

1232
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 3: announced and they played, and after the game, I spoke

1233
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 3: to him and I was talking to him and he

1234
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 3: was great, and then after what they said, listen, Kate,

1235
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 3: I don't have a vote for the All Starts name,

1236
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 3: but if I did, you would be on my list.

1237
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 3: Thanks my man, great? Great?

1238
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah? Yeah.

1239
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 4: How do you feel about Jalen Duran's physique?

1240
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 3: Yes, he's a Yeah, he's a He's one of those dudes.

1241
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 3: You know when you're down there and most players are

1242
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 3: sort of a little bit thinner in person, you know,

1243
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 3: like there's no real sort of He's one of those guys.

1244
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 3: He walks out and you're like, oh my god, imagine

1245
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 3: you have to defend that. Yeah, you know, yeah, you know.

1246
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 4: I mean those two guys cunning Ham in during both

1247
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 4: killed the Hawks when they played it. It's just like

1248
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 4: they're mustling everybody out of the way and give their

1249
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 4: spots no problem.

1250
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 3: Vibes with him beside, Yeah, I thought I.

1251
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 5: Thought of you because I was close to the Pistons

1252
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 5: bench and I saw that body come close. I got

1253
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 5: reminded of when we were by the Hawks bench and

1254
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 5: Duane Deadman came and scared the crap out.

1255
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were terrified.

1256
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 5: You're more scared of just doing Deadman in general, not

1257
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 5: his body type, right, like bigger than yeah.

1258
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's and he's got the big thoughts as well.

1259
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: A beast. I brought up Kadan the All Star Game

1260
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: because I wanted to get your opinions on the USA

1261
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: versus the World format. I feel like this is something

1262
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: you probably talked about years ago when you were on

1263
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: the starters, and so now we're getting it. We still

1264
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: are maybe a little unclear of how it's gonna work,

1265
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: but we have two American teams and this World team

1266
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have this like funny little round robin,

1267
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: I guess. But what does Leelis think?

1268
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 3: Well, the truth is, it makes no difference what the

1269
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 3: format is. If the players don't play preach, they don't care,

1270
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 3: and they don't care, and so this is the sort

1271
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 3: of thing that it's like, Okay, maybe there'll be a

1272
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 3: little bit of like, hey, we've got to beat the Americans,

1273
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 3: you know, Yeah, but I don't think so. Because I

1274
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 3: asked Nikola jokicch I said, hey, what do you think

1275
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,919
Speaker 3: of the new format? He's like, I don't know, it'll

1276
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 3: probably stink like the rest of them.

1277
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: He doesn't help that he.

1278
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 3: Does, and that's but that's what it comes down to.

1279
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,919
Speaker 3: It's like they don't care, and so it doesn't matter

1280
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 3: what gimmick you do, how you do it. If the

1281
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,479
Speaker 3: players aren't interested, they're not going to try.

1282
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: And so how do we make the players interested or

1283
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: is it impossible?

1284
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 3: I think it's impossible at this point because there's no

1285
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 3: there's no stakes in it. So you have to put

1286
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 3: stakes in it. Money is not steakes, like you have

1287
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 3: to put something on the line where it's like again,

1288
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 3: I know people throw the baseball. They don't do that

1289
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 3: in baseball though anymore, But there has to be some

1290
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 3: incentive that is not financial that it's like, okay, if

1291
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 3: we win, then then if you are the Nuggets and

1292
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 3: they're what second or third in the West right now second,

1293
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 3: and it's like, well, if we play the Pistons or

1294
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 3: the Celtics, whatever, we really need home court advantage.

1295
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: You need like okay, so your kitchen, Jamal Murray, maybe

1296
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: try harder.

1297
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 3: But then but then you know, you would hope, like

1298
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 3: shake your they would do you rate.

1299
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: The All Star is generally coming from better teams near

1300
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: the top of the conferences, like everybody's playing.

1301
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 3: We need the players to feel like we've got to

1302
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 3: win this game, and they don't and then they're not

1303
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 3: going to and again like it's like the whole NBA Cup,

1304
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 3: like paying guys half a million dollars now, sure, but

1305
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 3: they don't care.

1306
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: You don't think the NBA Cup ramps up the competition

1307
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more.

1308
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 3: Like Adam Silver is trying things, given credit for that question,

1309
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 3: but the biggest problem still is tanking. Which teams are

1310
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 3: tanking and he likes to follow the soccer modules a

1311
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 3: lot of the times. Right now, you can't have a

1312
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 3: promotion relegation. We know that doesn't work, which is a

1313
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 3: big thing in.

1314
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: So maybe we can once we get this whole.

1315
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, but what I would do instead is there's still

1316
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 3: an incentive to lose. There's still a chance, like hey man,

1317
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 3: we could get the number one pick, like who cares.

1318
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 3: I would be more extreme and say, if you finished

1319
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 3: last in the East and the West, you don't get

1320
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 3: a draft.

1321
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: Pick because it's trying to help these bad teams.

1322
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 3: But that's the problem that these bad teams like it's

1323
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 3: good to be bad. And so if you say, hey,

1324
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 3: listen to you. You know, if you're the Paces, and

1325
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 3: I think it is the Pelicans right now, it's like

1326
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 3: the Pelicans already just threw away their draft pick, which

1327
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 3: was just insane. But it's like it's like, no, you're

1328
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 3: not going to get rewarded for being an incompetent franchise

1329
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 3: again and again and again. Okay you So.

1330
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: Then the compromise then is and we're not the first

1331
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: to say this, like the idea of like you can't

1332
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: be in the lottery or that top five or top

1333
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: three whatever we make it multiple years in a row.

1334
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 3: That's another.

1335
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: If you're one of the bad teams, maybe you get

1336
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 1: a crack at a number one, pecked out, turn your

1337
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: franchise around, but you can't keep getting bites at the

1338
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: app And the.

1339
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 3: Reason the reason, you know, like in in relegation in soccer,

1340
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 3: it's devastating for the teams because they go down, they

1341
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 3: get less money, they don't get the TV deals, right,

1342
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 3: so it's devastating for them. And those teams at the

1343
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 3: bottom are desperate every single week to not be in

1344
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 3: that position. The fans don't want to be there, right,

1345
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 3: You want the Pelicans to be like we've got to

1346
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 3: win this game tonight rather than to the league.

1347
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 2: No.

1348
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 3: No, that's where it's like if we don't win, we

1349
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,919
Speaker 3: don't get our draft pick. You know, again they've given

1350
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 3: away one, So there's punishment there rather than an incentive

1351
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 3: like yeah, but who cares, We're still going to pick

1352
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 3: no worse than fourth or something like that. But the

1353
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 3: other one is like, yeah, you can't pick in the

1354
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 3: top ten, you know, three years in a row, because

1355
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 3: too many franchises are being rewarded for just disgusting play

1356
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 3: and bad management.

1357
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: And I think you don't think that's the players as

1358
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 1: much as you think it is your absolution. Yeah, sitting guys,

1359
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: all you're injured.

1360
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 3: Like imagine Man United, right, had such a bad season,

1361
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 3: having a bad Imagine that it's such a bad season,

1362
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 3: got relegated, and then they go, yeah, well you get

1363
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 3: Ronaldo though, because he's the next available and you can

1364
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 3: you can sign him. Like it would be like, well,

1365
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 3: that's that's dumb. Yeah, it's dumb. It should be like, no,

1366
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 3: you were bad, you badly manage your team. You get

1367
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 3: punished for that, rather than oh you land like the

1368
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 3: Hawks for example, you know, like getting Resachet, who's been okay,

1369
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 3: you know, he's still got a lot to work on.

1370
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 3: But you get Cooper Flag one side and wemban Yama

1371
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 3: the other. And it's like you shouldn't just luck into those,

1372
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It should be like it

1373
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 3: should be a real lottery for one right, So thirty teams,

1374
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 3: two teams don't get a pick, twenty eight full on lottery.

1375
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 3: Whoever gets it gets a pick. I just I just

1376
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 3: think that why not because right now it's these flattening

1377
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 3: the lottery odds. But teams are still tanking, and teams

1378
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 3: are like, oh, this guy's injured, we load managing, we're

1379
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 3: doing all that. It sucks when you go to a

1380
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 3: game and there's a lot of dudes missing.

1381
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: Leella's bringing the hot tea.

1382
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 3: I think it is time to actually do something meaningful

1383
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 3: and punished teams.

1384
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, well see, let's hear what the people think out there.

1401
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,120

1408
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 1: the second half here, Let's get to Worst of the Week.

1409
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, The worst of the week.

1410
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 3: This week's worst of the Week.

1411
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 5: It's a pretty polarizing story about Michael Jordan's appearances on

1412
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 5: NBC this season because he was labeled as the special

1413
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 5: consultant coming into this season, and Mike Rico, the person

1414
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 5: who interviewed him on his appearances so far, came out

1415
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 5: and said, basically, this week, we're only getting everything from

1416
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 5: that one interview for the rest of this season. So yeah,

1417
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 5: people expected it, but there will be more clips from it.

1418
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 5: Mike Rico said, I would love to interview him more.

1419
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 5: Would have been better if we got to interview him

1420
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 5: more and get more Yes, but is.

1421
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 2: Some Michael better than no Michael.

1422
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 5: Absolutely, So he didn't absolutely one rule out that we're

1423
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 5: never going to see Michael Jordan in a different, uh

1424
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 5: setting than that one interview that he did.

1425
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 2: But he basically said that's it.

1426
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it.

1427
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 5: He told Jimmy Chraeney have SI Media, that's our one

1428
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 5: interview special consultant Michael Jordan.

1429
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 2: Yes, saw what you got.

1430
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 5: And we'll show some more clips a little bit later

1431
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 5: on in this season when he'll voice his opinions on

1432
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 5: the current state of the NBA. So we'll get more

1433
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 5: of that. But that was polarizing as soon as that

1434
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 5: was released, people either mad or defending MJ because it's MJ.

1435
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 5: What are your guys thoughts?

1436
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with Mike Tarico.

1437
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 4: Any MJ is better than no MJ, which has been

1438
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 4: basically the case since he retired. But it's disappointing to

1439
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 4: think that they I mean, I guess they talked one day.

1440
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 4: They just chatted Mike and Mike.

1441
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and they got together for two days.

1442
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 4: And then an hour and forty five minute interview the

1443
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 4: next one, which they will sprinkle out here and there.

1444
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 4: It's still the point now where I forget that Michael

1445
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 4: Jordan is a special contributor to NBC. It's like, oh wait,

1446
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 4: they rolled out another insight to excellence. It's actually kind

1447
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 4: of similar to me to the way the inside the

1448
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 4: NBA guys are at ESPN right now. It's like I

1449
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 4: forgot that they're working for ESPN because they never work.

1450
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1451
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 4: You know, so these are kind of hallmarks of an

1452
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 4: older generation, and you can tell that like Amazon specifically

1453
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 4: is going for younger guys that just got out of

1454
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 4: the league. Peacock is kind of caught in the middle,

1455
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 4: I think of like the old and the young. But yeah,

1456
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 4: I would like to see more MJ for sure.

1457
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: But not a shock that this is only Yeah, what

1458
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 1: have your been opinions on Michael Jordan's like sort of

1459
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: thing here, and and I want to get your thoughts

1460
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 1: on Amazon their coverage and Peacock and NBC.

1461
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I honestly think the coverage from both of them, NBC, Peacock,

1462
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 3: Amazon or it's been a breath of fresh air. I

1463
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 3: agree absolutely. I when T and T lost it, it was like,

1464
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 3: oh damn, it feels like the NBA's home and TNT

1465
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 3: and they did a great job. But I think Amazon

1466
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 3: especially has said, hey, we're going to do something really

1467
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 3: really specially. We're going to put a lot of effort

1468
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 3: into a lot of investment. And it's been really good,

1469
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 3: really good to see. And the same with NBC. I mean,

1470
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 3: the nostalgia, you know, kind of all brought us back

1471
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 3: and it was like, awesome, we're going to see it

1472
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 3: on NBC again. And the Michael Jordan stuff, I mean, look,

1473
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 3: I feel a bit sorry for him because he kind

1474
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 3: of is he knows everyone's just hanging on every single

1475
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 3: word that he says, and I think that makes him

1476
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 3: somewhat of a prisoner of his own success in that

1477
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 3: sense that he almost doesn't want to he doesn't want

1478
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 3: to turn into a pundit. By Charles Barkley where he's

1479
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 3: asked about everything, and he'd be asked about political stuff

1480
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 3: and things like that. So I think he likes to

1481
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 3: be like, I'll do it, but it's under this sort.

1482
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 1: Of it's recorded, we'll clip it out, I'll look at

1483
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: it or not.

1484
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 3: But nothing he doesn't want. You know, he's not looking

1485
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 3: for viral fame or anything like that. We want to

1486
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 3: hear from him because he is so insightful. I mean,

1487
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 3: we all know what Michael Jordan means to basketball, so

1488
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 3: we all dine to hear from him. But I think

1489
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 3: he's like, you know, I don't want to give away

1490
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 3: that power that he has. I guess you know.

1491
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 5: That, and so we won't see him a lot. That's

1492
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 5: the way it's going to be with Michael Jordan. You

1493
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 5: mentioned that it's a special contributor. I called him a

1494
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 5: special consultant because it's like contributing, I mean.

1495
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: Bare minimum.

1496
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:16,679
Speaker 5: But it is very refreshing to see modern NBA players

1497
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 5: jump on the desk, whether it's for Amazon or NBC.

1498
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 5: I hope that Amazon or NBC they keep it kind

1499
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 5: of nimble, like maybe this guy, maybe this person isn't

1500
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 5: working out and they change it up because that's the

1501
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:30,760
Speaker 5: problem with the greats of Ernie, Chuck and Check. They

1502
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 5: just have done it for a six billion years.

1503
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 1: Is good.

1504
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 2: He is really so good.

1505
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: I think I think the Amazon crew, this Prime crew

1506
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: is fantastic led by Taylor Rooks and then like you said,

1507
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 1: Wade Haslam, Blake Griffin key player. Then they have all

1508
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: these other people they plug and play like it's not

1509
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,680
Speaker 1: rock and science, it's you can inform us and it

1510
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,759
Speaker 1: can be entertaining. It should be both.

1511
01:08:58,360 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 3: And have you know.

1512
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 1: Funny yourself, like obviously the tn T guys have you

1513
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,799
Speaker 1: know mastered, especially with Chuck being a great good sport,

1514
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:08,679
Speaker 1: a good sport about it. I love what I'm seeing

1515
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: from that. And we know people that are obviously a

1516
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 1: part of that production too. And it's no shock that they're

1517
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: trying to like replicate as much as you can for

1518
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: a younger generation. What made or any shock Chuck and

1519
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 1: Kenny like so special and I think they're doing that.

1520
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it. I think it's so good. Michael

1521
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 3: Jordan was in Croatia last summer when I was there,

1522
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 3: I tell you, man.

1523
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: Trying to get on the yacht.

1524
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was looking for it. Yeah, if I'm in

1525
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 3: a court one day and all of a sudden he

1526
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 3: just walks in. Imagine that, what was he doing in Croatia? Oh,

1527
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 3: he's always there. He always goes to summary. He takes

Speaker 3: and Iceland baking.

1635
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,600
Speaker 1: What do you prefer what do you prefer playing on

1636
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: rims with no mesh, no net? So just bear rims

1637
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:07,559
Speaker 1: or I guess like tattered or like even like chain.

1638
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 3: Oh no, there's got to be some sort of net, and.

1639
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:12,639
Speaker 1: I hate playing on just yeah.

1640
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. I always pack a couple of nets too, just

1641
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 3: in case damn travels with you're getting up there. Well

1642
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 3: that's the problem in Argentina. Last year I was out

1643
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 3: of court and I couldn't get up to put the

1644
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 3: net up, so I had to go without unfortunately.

1645
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's your one of your least favorite things

1646
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 1: to a court.

1647
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, disgusting. There's there's a feeling when you hear that. Yeah,

1648
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 3: you know, just just see the net, you see the

1649
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 3: see the reaction of the net when the ball goes through.

1650
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 1: Playing that sound again? That was nice? Was it Germany? Quickly?

1651
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: If I'm wrong? Where was it? There was like one

1652
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 1: of these weird ass nets that you played on, Like

1653
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't a mess or anything like that. Yeah it

1654
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,599
Speaker 1: was Germany. Yeah, but how would you describe it? It

1655
01:15:55,680 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 1: was like it's rock solid, like not messed, Like what

1656
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: do you say?

1657
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,640
Speaker 4: It's like there's like a basket almost Yeah, yeah, like

1658
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 4: a plastic basket.

1659
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 3: I don't know that that is worse than no net

1660
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 3: at all, because the ball goes up and just like

1661
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 3: like around like that. Yeah, yeah, thats a lot of

1662
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 3: ny balls, that's what you're saying. But that's in Germany,

1663
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 3: like they just decide we're building a net and a

1664
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:19,639
Speaker 3: rim that's going to last forever.

1665
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: Engineering it is and I'm not great to play that

1666
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:26,280
Speaker 1: awful It looked.

1667
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was gross. It was gross. Yeah. And my

1668
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 3: friend Conrad, who's certainly watching as well, because every time

1669
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 3: you go to a new country, you never want to

1670
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,120
Speaker 3: insult anyone to say that, man, this sucks whatever. But

1671
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, this sucks, but unique.

1672
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: Like that to me.

1673
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, but not a good unit, that's not that's like,

1674
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 3: get rid of that.

1675
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 1: The one thing you haven't liked. I've always wanted what's

1676
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: your what's your opinion on because like I've played on

1677
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 1: courts like this in Europe in countries where it's obviously

1678
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 1: the key let's call it the cage basketball net, but

1679
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 1: then the built in like little soccer.

1680
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, do you feel about that? Well? I mean

1681
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,719
Speaker 3: I understand why it's there, and it doesn't necessarily impede

1682
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 3: the basketball. So it's like, fine, okay, so I thought

1683
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 3: put up with it?

1684
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, something weird about it, yes, I mean, but.

1685
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 3: It's just the way they do it. I guess I'm

1686
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 3: just more interested in in that in some of these

1687
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 3: places like Austria, that they have basketball courts, you know,

1688
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 3: so that that's where they're graf Yeah yeah, yeah. I

1689
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 3: spoke to Yaka but about that too, because they have

1690
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 3: the cages out there. Yeah he said, yeah, it's just

1691
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 3: the way the ball doesn't.

1692
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:37,799
Speaker 1: The big like you're talking legit coat.

1693
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

1694
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,559
Speaker 1: And what what was your favorite thing you've done not

1695
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:44,679
Speaker 1: basketball related?

1696
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? I would say in Zambia the Victoria Falls there,

1697
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:52,480
Speaker 3: like these falls are you know, like Niagara Falls and

1698
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 3: you go into the water there and you can dangle

1699
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 3: over the edge.

1700
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah remember that?

1701
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, that is trippy looking it is, and what's

1702
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 3: holding you there is just two big men holding your ankles.

1703
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 3: Whoa yeah yeah, yeah serious, Yeah, I'm one hundred percent serious.

1704
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 3: That's it.

1705
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 1: Like, so you you can't see them in any of

1706
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: the photos around because that's part of like the holy account.

1707
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: That looks like you're just lavit eating sort of and

1708
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 1: that's people are just holding your ankles.

1709
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 3: You say anything, I don't think so.

1710
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the popular streamer's name, Kai.

1711
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he just did this. So there's two things. It's

1712
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 3: like the Devil's Pool where you can go right out

1713
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 3: and you sort of go into like a like rock

1714
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 3: pool and you can stay in there. But when I

1715
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 3: was there, it was too dangerous because it was like

1716
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 3: the water was overflowing, and so you just do the

1717
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 3: dangling over the.

1718
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:45,600
Speaker 1: Edge because that.

1719
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 3: And that someone's going to go over sooner or later.

1720
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 3: Because there's a rope you can sort of hold to

1721
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 3: get out to where you need to go, but to

1722
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,440
Speaker 3: where you need to go, you still are walking untethered,

1723
01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 3: you know, to get over to where the dudes are.

1724
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 3: And I was lucky I was there by myself. I know,

1725
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 3: I was there by myself, and there was a couple

1726
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 3: before me. And even though I got there and I'm like,

1727
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:10,719
Speaker 3: I'm not doing this, and I said, you guys go first,

1728
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 3: and I saw them do it, and I thought, okay,

1729
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:16,479
Speaker 3: I'll probably be okay. But you get out in the

1730
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 3: water there and you're like, man, one little slip, one

1731
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 3: little thing, and you know it's absolutely yeah, yeah, that

1732
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 3: that was that was a cool experience. Just recently, a

1733
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, I was in Belize. I was

1734
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 3: swimming with sharks. I like to promote it like I

1735
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:55,200
Speaker 3: was swimming with sharks because I was. But they're nurse sharks. Shark, Yeah,

1736
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 3: that's that's what I say. But nurse sharks are not really.

1737
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:00,719
Speaker 3: I mean they if you they called nurse sharks because

1738
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:03,439
Speaker 3: it's like a mother nursing a child that they suction

1739
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:06,600
Speaker 3: their food. Right, So if you put your finger there,

1740
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 3: they could they could take your finger off, but you

1741
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:12,440
Speaker 3: would have to sort of jam it in there. Yeah,

1742
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:17,760
Speaker 3: what about you. It depends on how London things funds.

1743
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, but it's cool because you can see

1744
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 3: sharks in the water and you're just like, yeah, I'm

1745
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 3: in there with them, but they're not. They don't know,

1746
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,639
Speaker 3: they don't care, they're not. Ok that's pretty cool.

1747
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great, but okay pick them all.

1768
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 5: visiting the Rockets. Should be a good one. I'm considering

1769
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:46,560
Speaker 5: the Rockets coming off that loss yesterday against Okay, see.

1770
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 2: Shaye talking trash to Kevin Durant.

1771
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 5: Have fun with that seventh seed, buddy, that was very,

1772
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 5: very funny. It's interesting here, Skeetz, you got Houston. You

1773
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 5: think they're going to bounce back? I don't know what

1774
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 5: I do too for some reason, just that just to

1775
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:02,599
Speaker 5: fight just to be in a good float.

1776
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 2: Tray. You got the Wolves who are playing well.

1777
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that the Rockets are favored.

1778
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: That's what I was too. I was shocked by the

1779
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 1: line and I was like, that's why I'm going.

1780
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 2: Houston three and a half points.

1781
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 5: The Rockets are favored at home, so they got to

1782
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 5: win by four or more.

1783
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,480
Speaker 2: The Wolves they're playing.

1784
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:21,280
Speaker 4: Well again, they're playing wide surprise, they're going to be

1785
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:22,679
Speaker 4: the more rested team.

1786
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird to me.

1787
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 1: Lee, who would you take care?

1788
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:27,840
Speaker 3: I would probably go to the Wolves. Okay. I think

1789
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 3: saying you're saying like back to back Anthony Edwards is wheel.

1790
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:34,120
Speaker 3: I mean they can't play the Howks. They can smoke

1791
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 3: everyone else. Sometimes, as I was, assuming everyone's playing, I

1792
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 3: say the Wolves. Yeah, I'm surprised the Rockets are favored

1793
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 3: by that. So I'll go with you Trey on that one.

1794

1799
01:22:56,120 --> 01:23:01,519

01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 3: the stuff with Jaunty billups and yeah, like I'm just

1801
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 3: like that's the tip of the ice purs Well.

Speaker 1: worst pick them? You ever did pick them pay off?

1810
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:35,439
Speaker 3: You ever did the the what's it called wet suit?

1811
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: The stinky you were just swimming with you have to

1812
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 1: put on a wetsuit. The water was yeah, water is beautiful,

1813
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 1: but that was your worst pick.

1814
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 3: That was the smelliest of it was just uncomfortable as claustrophobic.

1815
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:56,760
Speaker 1: Literally like kind of your chest waxed on the aira.

1816

Speaker 1: You had a crazy haircut. You ate hot peppers was great.

1817
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 3: The chest waxing was actually kind of fun, like I

1818
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 3: recommend that I recommend doing that pleasure. It was just

1819

1820
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 3: was kind of nice, like after after the redness went away,

1821
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:16,280

01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 3: your clothes right now, right, and you're not naked. There's

1831
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 3: the two the Eurasian and the American like like plates

1832
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 3: meat there, and so you go snorkeling in them. Now

1833
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 3: it's Iceland, so it's always cold, and you just have

1834
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 3: your clothes. You put a suit on over the top

1835
01:24:58,960 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 3: and you go out and do it.

1836
01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 1: It's so you didn't mind that now you have your

1837
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:03,560
Speaker 1: clothes on.

1838
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1839
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. The only problem is they say go to the

1840
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:09,639
Speaker 3: toilet before you go, because once you're in it, you're

1841
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:11,240
Speaker 3: in it. You can't get out of that until you're

1842
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 3: out of the water. And you put it on and

1843
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 3: then you go through the safety and all that, and

1844
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:17,280
Speaker 3: so it's cold and you know you're like, yeah, there's

1845
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:20,519
Speaker 3: no release valve. But you said you're snorkeling, and like, yeah,

1846
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 3: but I mean you're snorkling on the top of the water,

1847
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 3: You're not What about your face then, yeah, well your

1848
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:27,680
Speaker 3: face is only uncovered, so oh it is uncovered. Yeah,

1849
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 3: I mean it's cold, but it's it's not you know,

1850
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 3: probably what you think, because the rest of you is

1851
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 3: just bone dry.

1852
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:37,559
Speaker 1: Until you piss yourself.

1853
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, the only thing is then you're like, all right,

1854
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 3: I got to get this off, so I can.

1855
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 4: You know, tie here in the stream team says, how

1856
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 4: about the time you had to eat fast food for

1857
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:48,719
Speaker 4: an entire.

1858
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 3: That was gross? Yeah, you haven't had a taco? Bell

1859
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:55,680
Speaker 3: said never, I've never had it. That was the only

1860
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 3: tumble I ever had it.

1861
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 1: Have you gotten sick on any of these trips, like

1862
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:01,559
Speaker 1: eating something that maybe you push the limits igne traying?

1863
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no quite Seria levels of sickness. But yeah, the

1864
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 3: odd upset stomach from time to time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1865
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 3: I mean in Nairobi there's a restaurant called what's it

1866
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:16,520
Speaker 3: called their Carnivore. It was just meat after me, crocodile,

1867
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 3: it was zebra, it was everything. It was great.

1868
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you got maybe a little sex too much meat.

1869
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably probably. Well, it wasn't too bad. It was

1870
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 3: just like it's a little a little uncoupled. That's a

1871
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,600
Speaker 3: thing sometimes when you're out there by yourself, you know,

1872
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 3: there's no roxy to be like, can you just go

1873
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 3: and get me some cumes?

1874
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 1: Lowly at all?

1875
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,800
Speaker 3: Not really, no, I mean I think sometimes when you

1876
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:45,120
Speaker 3: get back to the hotel, you just want to see

1877
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:48,680
Speaker 3: your boys and yeah, yeah, but not other than that,

1878
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:50,679
Speaker 3: I mean like, oh your family.

1879
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:51,680
Speaker 1: You didn't mean us.

1880
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 3: I you know, it's one of those things like because

1881
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:00,120
Speaker 3: I think it looks like I'm just out there playing ball,

1882
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 3: have the fun and drink, but I'm actually working pretty

1883
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:06,519
Speaker 3: much every day to try to create you know, the content.

1884
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 1: So you'll go do this, you'll go do the pick

1885
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 1: up run, you'll go do an I say or whatever,

1886
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:11,600
Speaker 1: and then what you're back in the hotel and like

1887
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:13,720
Speaker 1: all right, uploading maybe start.

1888
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 3: And chopping well, and often times you're invited out for

1889
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 3: a dinner or a drink or something like that. So

1890
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:21,599
Speaker 3: it's it's it's not like and I don't have many

1891
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 3: days where I'm just doing nothing. If I go to

1892
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 3: a trip, it's like all right, I'm doing this and

1893
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 3: this and this and then this and this, So I'm

1894
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 3: not just like hanging around and so yeah, there are

1895
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 3: times where you would love to just come home and

1896
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:34,280

Speaker 3: to nineteen days. Yeah, that was that was But it

1901
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 3: was also if you're going to go that far, you know,

1902
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 3: like like Belize was only three days because it was

1903
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:50,559
Speaker 3: right there, got it all done. But I try to

1904
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:53,000

Speaker 2: It sucks, man, it sucks somebody else on the period.

1982
01:31:38,960 --> 01:31:41,320
Speaker 3: It's the company is fine itself. But he was great

1983
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:44,800
Speaker 3: because like he was thorough and he like, every time

1984
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:46,720
Speaker 3: someone say, pays for an airfare or hotel for me,

1985
01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:50,679
Speaker 3: I'm supposed to document all that, and so I would

1986
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 3: say stuff and he would just like do it for.

1987
01:31:54,280 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 1: Picture you keeping track of Okay, okay, good answers, guys.

1988
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:04,719
Speaker 1: Next one the Milano, Cortina, twenty twenty six. Winter Olympics

1989
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:07,280
Speaker 1: are right around the corner, like a couple of weeks.

1990
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:09,960
Speaker 1: We got the skating, we got the skiing, we got

1991
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,840
Speaker 1: the hockey, all the good stuff. And I don't know

1992
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:15,840
Speaker 1: about you guys, but I can't wait to get hilariously

1993
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:19,800
Speaker 1: invested in athletes and sports that I won't think about

1994
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 1: for another four years after this February. But I want

1995
01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:26,720
Speaker 1: to know what's the most exciting Winter Olympic event to watches?

1996
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:31,120
Speaker 2: There's only one. It's hockey. Is there any other sports

1997
01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 2: that they play? Let's be honest, I don't know if

1998
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:34,880
Speaker 2: there is one.

1999
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:36,639
Speaker 5: We're getting up to the NBA All Star Game where

2000
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:38,559
Speaker 5: it's USA versus the world.

2001
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 2: Will it be good? Who knows?

2002
01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 5: I do know that every country's gonna be fighting for

2003
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:45,599
Speaker 5: two weeks during the hockey tournament. It's going to be good,

2004
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:48,200
Speaker 5: kind of like the you know, the four that they

2005
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:50,479
Speaker 5: had last year at the All Star Game, Like the

2006
01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:51,599
Speaker 5: four countries that they played.

2007
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:53,599
Speaker 2: This is going to be even better.

2008
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 1: Are you worried about the rink? A lot of issues

2009
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 1: over there. It's not like regulations.

2010
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:02,439
Speaker 3: I don't know.

2011
01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:04,960
Speaker 1: They're having a lot of problems you got all these

2012
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:09,479
Speaker 1: professional athletes playing on this potentially crap ice here. I

2013
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see, we'll see. Okay, but hockey, why

2014
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 1: have they why can they not do it?

2015
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:14,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

2016
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:17,719
Speaker 1: It's something about the size of it is the real issue.

2017
01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:21,519
Speaker 1: Like they screwed up building it. Yeah, which can matter,

2018
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 1: I guess. So anyway, what about you? It can't say hockey,

2019
01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:24,639
Speaker 1: all right.

2020
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:29,360
Speaker 4: Okay, I wasn't gonna snowboarding halfpipe. I love it, especially

2021
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:31,360
Speaker 4: back in the Sean White days. He's he's out of

2022
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:34,599
Speaker 4: the game now, but uh, him doing his moves was awesome.

2023
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:38,960
Speaker 4: And I always love that they give the snowboarders like

2024
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:43,280
Speaker 4: a cool outfit, like once upon a time, the US

2025
01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:46,840
Speaker 4: war jeans for their board, the war pants that look

2026
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 4: like jeans, so they try and make them a little

2027
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 4: counter cultury, and I just think it looks awesome and

2028
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:53,760
Speaker 4: it's got the element of danger of like you know,

2029
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 4: falling onto the edge of the half pipe. Super impressive.

2030
01:33:58,040 --> 01:33:59,080
Speaker 4: What these guys and girls do.

2031
01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:01,919
Speaker 1: Chloe Kim, I was going to say she's the superstar.

2032
01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 4: I believe Japanese man won the gold medal the last

2033
01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:09,200
Speaker 4: time around. So learned some new people because you know,

2034
01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:15,160
Speaker 4: I'm not checking in on the off season snowboarding's.

2035
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:18,760
Speaker 1: You'll be like a half pape expert for two weeks. Yeah.

2036
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:21,960
Speaker 1: What about Julie, what what's your favorite Winter Olympics?

2037
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:23,880
Speaker 3: Well, I still like the speed skating because they just

2038
01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:26,000
Speaker 3: go around around, especially when they put their hands on

2039
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:27,960
Speaker 3: the on the ground, you know, as they're going around

2040
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 3: the curve. And of course the first Australian to ever

2041
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:33,559
Speaker 3: win a gold medal was Steve Bradbury in I think Utah.

2042
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:35,240
Speaker 3: I think it was Salt Lake City in two thousand

2043
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:35,559
Speaker 3: and two.

2044
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 1: Is that the one where everybody crashes?

2045
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:41,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, right on the last turn, he's coming fourth, they

2046
01:34:41,479 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 3: you crash out, he's over the line. And I think

2047
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 3: it was the next day a skier for Australia. Kurston

2048
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:52,400
Speaker 3: Marshall think it was. She won gold and she was

2049
01:34:52,439 --> 01:34:54,679
Speaker 3: gonna be the first Australian to win winter gold.

2050
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:57,639
Speaker 1: She got pipped off before.

2051
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:02,800
Speaker 3: Imagine your whole life. You're literally one second away from

2052
01:35:02,840 --> 01:35:05,760
Speaker 3: maybe winning a gold and then you get wiped the

2053
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 3: other dudes.

2054
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, is that.

2055
01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:09,800
Speaker 5: What you did when we were on the ice in

2056
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:11,000
Speaker 5: twenty sixteen at the.

2057
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:13,920

01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:19,000

2060
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:22,240
Speaker 8: got taken out. Yeah, I think, yeah, I actually really

2061
01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 8: hurt my kname that Yeah?

2062
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:27,639
Speaker 5: Wow suit somebody Nathan Phillips square Yeah, good call.

2063
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 1: All right. Final question. You guys don't even know this question.

2064
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:32,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't in the dock. It comes by way of

2065
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 1: author Chuck Closterman. Have you ever touched a horse? Have

2066
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:39,120
Speaker 1: you ever actually had your hand on a horse? Task

2067
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:39,720
Speaker 1: will start with.

2068
01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:40,960
Speaker 2: You, Chuck.

2069
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:43,800
Speaker 5: That's a really good question, because I really have to

2070
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:46,479
Speaker 5: think about it. I got to say yes, but I'm

2071
01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:50,639
Speaker 5: not positive. Okay, of course donkeys do they count? No,

2072
01:35:53,680 --> 01:35:56,400
Speaker 5: I've ridden donkeys, have touched camel. I think I've touched

2073
01:35:56,400 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 5: the horse, but I could I could be wrong.

2074
01:35:58,439 --> 01:35:59,040
Speaker 2: I could be wrong.

2075
01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:02,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's like those feels like there's those breeds in

2076
01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:07,559
Speaker 5: between donkeys and horses. Even there's like there's something they're

2077
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:11,519
Speaker 5: like larger than a donkey, smaller than a horse that

2078
01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:12,519
Speaker 5: I've ridden as well.

2079
01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I'm not I'm not certain. I've

2080
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:17,840
Speaker 2: never fed one like cam Stewart, never owned one like Caward.

2081
01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:22,360
Speaker 1: It might be Okay, what about you.

2082
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:28,600
Speaker 4: Tre horses many a time, ridden horses a lot. My

2083
01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:30,639
Speaker 4: girls like to ride a horse. You know, if we're

2084
01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:34,439
Speaker 4: at a fair, they got a horse carousel. These horses

2085
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:37,479
Speaker 4: walking as slow as you can imagine. I'll hop on there, okay, yeah,

2086
01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:39,040
Speaker 4: all right, I'm a.

2087

Speaker 2: Yeah.

2090
01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:51,720
Speaker 3: I was riding on the beach in Portugal only a

2091
01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:55,679
Speaker 3: couple of years ago. We're just walking, But in Australia

2092
01:36:55,720 --> 01:37:00,400
Speaker 3: I rode one like yeah, I've done that too, so

2093
01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:02,840
Speaker 3: I'm terrifying. Yeah, I love it. I love when you

2094
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:04,760
Speaker 3: get that rhythm with a horse and you you know,

2095
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:06,880
Speaker 3: you just lift yourself out of the saddle in your

2096
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:07,679
Speaker 3: white come why.

2097
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like avatars.

2098
01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:12,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I wish if you could plung into a horse,

2099
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:16,040
Speaker 4: that would change my opinion on him completely. I did

2100
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:17,080
Speaker 4: a beach horse recently too.

2101
01:37:17,120 --> 01:37:17,920
Speaker 1: I forgot that.

2102
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I.

2103
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:21,519
Speaker 3: Think it wouldn't be great for a horse because it's

2104
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:23,479
Speaker 3: so they probably hate it. Yeah.

2105
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:26,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I've ridden something on the beach too.

2106
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:30,559
Speaker 5: I don't even know it was a horse. Donkeys, there's

2107
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:31,439
Speaker 5: big donkeys out there?

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah I touched the horse?

2114
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:53,479
Speaker 1: I mean, did you This was a funny clip going

2115
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:56,080
Speaker 1: viral Chuck Closterman, he was talking to Bill Simmons about

2116
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:58,880
Speaker 1: they were I guess they were getting into the why

2117
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:03,320
Speaker 1: the popularity of horse racing has like plummeted, real Chucks.

2118
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:06,600
Speaker 1: Whole thing was like way back in the early you know,

2119
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:10,560
Speaker 1: nineteen hundred. It's like you took horses as transportation, you

2120
01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 1: had them on the farm, like people were more familiar

2121
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:16,840
Speaker 1: with horses therefore you cared more about racing them and

2122
01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:20,160
Speaker 1: then But you could quiz a lot of people nowadays,

2123
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:21,880
Speaker 1: how many have actually touched a horse?

2124
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:27,439
Speaker 3: Yeah? A diet. The races is incredibly fun, absolutely socially
