as hot as far as we

2:31
Today's show we had quite the
2:33
weekend. Because. I.
2:36
Had it's called a vow renewal, but
2:38
it appeared to be a wedding because.
2:40
We. Didn't have an official wedding a
2:42
lab and years ago. The. Very
2:45
quick version of it is. Demands.
2:48
A. It was
2:50
Maybe. I'm. Trying
2:52
to think of i'm the best
2:54
weekend of my life certainly. I
2:57
think it was the best weekend. For.
2:59
Us collectively as a family. I will
3:01
talk more about it later, but you
3:03
go ahead And since you were prominently
3:05
involved gave you got the speeches kicked
3:08
off and frosted. So your thoughts on
3:10
the wedding week and that We just
3:12
said. Oh was
3:14
amazing it was amazing and in just
3:16
been a was young people that I've
3:18
seen or maybe you haven't seen a
3:21
long time do they use. very galvanizing
3:23
brought everybody closer. And. Dumb.
3:26
And it was like it was or
3:28
even my wedding. And it was one
3:30
of the grays weekends of my life
3:32
as well. I'm I'm I'm I'm still
3:34
feeling so energized from it and I
3:36
was good to see everybody as they
3:38
do Five me go on erosion. Oh
3:41
yes I know, I mean the boot
3:43
on while standing up there was perfectly
3:45
fine. like a so was my thoughts
3:48
as the wedding or nice little data
3:50
to the outfit. So as a player
3:52
knows amazing who's great. Odds shows
3:54
are unbelievable weekend Danny bark and to
3:57
I mentioned before was. Ah
3:59
another it was go best man along
4:01
with the man's a we It's so
4:03
here's what I want to do because
4:05
say such a big sports day. If
4:08
you have any wedding, vow renewal,
4:10
personal life, weekend, the thoughts or
4:12
questions That's what we'll do in
4:14
the sea blocked. For our
4:17
respect the audience's busy time because we
4:19
have an awards bell, we have the
4:21
playing games. We have all that will
4:23
do all of that for the first
4:25
couple sex, all segments of the show
4:27
and then will do all things wedding
4:29
related, weekend related, vow renewal related or
4:32
in the see block. So. Let's.
4:34
Get to the top of the show and we
4:36
have. When or go home
4:38
basketball and night and then also when
4:41
and maybe have to go home basketball
4:43
tonight demands a lead us off. Or
4:46
is it seems like everybody in the
4:48
media's gonna really bad case of galaxy
4:51
brain who a splitting the idea that
4:53
L A should intentionally lose to trotted
4:55
face O T C and Round One
4:58
but Diseases Alleys best shot considering they
5:00
haven't beaten Denver's since twenty twenty two
5:02
at but now Denver's also and play
5:04
in the worst basketball with Last month
5:07
and a half or so. But
5:10
yeah, are you gonna have it? Isn't this
5:12
Be a yet another category to take by
5:14
you sir? Okay so let's address. All. Of
5:16
this. The. Idea that the
5:18
Lakers should. Throw. This game.
5:21
To. Get on the opposite side of the bracket
5:23
of than as the nuggets. Is
5:25
wrong on every account. Okay,
5:29
It's. Wrong on this account because
5:31
if the way of. The
5:34
play and worked was. There.
5:36
Is no Nine Ten? And.
5:39
The seventy game is just for
5:41
the winner gets the seven and
5:43
the loser gets the eight. Then.
5:45
I would at least engage in the
5:47
thought exercise of it where you're locked
5:50
into the playoffs it's just for seeding.
5:52
Then I would engage in the thought
5:54
exercise of a i still. Would.
5:56
Not endorse it more on that in a moment.
6:00
What? I would engage in it. But.
6:03
If the Lakers lose this game which
6:05
they could do by the way, The.
6:08
Idea that they would lose it
6:10
intentionally to set up a door
6:13
die game that would be either
6:15
against the Kings. Who
6:17
swept them this year? The
6:20
Kings who for some reason a d
6:22
have a lot of trouble with those
6:24
European centers. Man, now I doesn't bode
6:26
well for him against Joe. it's more
6:29
in that moment, but the bonus kills
6:31
him. The games again
6:33
the games and I know the Kings
6:35
or of Missouri voter and the Lakers
6:37
would be favored the mood Kings employee
6:39
great lately but that's a do word
6:41
I game against a team that has
6:43
beaten you every time you played this
6:45
your or. Adored I
6:47
game against Steph Curry. Who
6:50
you just saw a week ago
6:53
that seemed can. Have
6:55
the greatest shooting night Nimby a history
6:57
which is what they did you. A
7:01
week ago when they beat you. When. They
7:03
shot over forty threes and shot
7:05
over sixty percent on on the
7:08
idea that you would opt in
7:10
do that scenario purely because you're
7:12
so scared of the nuggets. Is.
7:16
Ludicrous on it's face. But.
7:18
The other reason it's ludicrous is
7:20
this: Unless.
7:23
Your. Only hope. For.
7:25
Making the finals is.
7:28
Well. Maybe someone on Denver
7:31
will get hurt. Which.
7:33
Is a crazy reason to believe
7:35
you can do it. Unless.
7:38
That is your hope. Or. Plan.
7:42
You've. Got to play them early.
7:45
Slightly. There. Is
7:47
no. Ifs ands
7:50
or buts about this point. That.
7:52
I said. Three. Weeks
7:55
ago and people thought I
7:57
was going galaxy brain. But.
7:59
Eat There's. Any way
8:02
you slice it. Logically,
8:05
Sound. If
8:07
you are going to have to
8:09
play Denver at some point to
8:11
make the N B A finals.
8:14
right? Now is when you want I'm.
8:17
You win tonight. You.
8:19
I have Wednesday off Thursday off Friday
8:22
off and then, depending on how the
8:24
brackets set, maybe Saturday off. Arm.
8:28
You. Will have three or four days before
8:30
game one. The.
8:33
Way the first round is spread
8:35
out. You. Will have
8:37
two or three days
8:39
between other games. Le
8:42
Bron is currently
8:44
playing out of
8:47
his mind. You.
8:50
Are a healthy. You.
8:52
Are rolling. You. Have
8:54
all of these things working for
8:56
you? So. Again,
8:59
you might say Nick the Lakers
9:01
cannot beat the Nuggets and that
9:04
might be true. Okay,
9:07
But. It's
9:09
obviously not a zero percent
9:11
chance. And so
9:14
the question is. Does. That since
9:16
get bigger and this is Weidman
9:18
talking about for three weeks. At
9:22
what point in the post season would
9:24
you have the best chance of beating.
9:27
right? Now. Because
9:30
you know what? The conference
9:32
finals are every other day
9:34
and that's after. Thirty.
9:37
Nine year old year twenty one Le
9:39
Bron. Has already been. In
9:43
off mode for a month
9:45
and likely exhausted. Why did
9:47
the Lakers. Last. Year.
9:50
Lose. All four of those games
9:52
against the Nuggets because they were all
9:55
close going into the fourth. google.
9:57
Braun ran outta gas, Why
10:00
was that will part was because he
10:02
was dealing with an injury, but another
10:04
bar was because he was six weeks
10:07
into the playoffs. So.
10:11
If your. Goal
10:13
for the Lakers. Is
10:15
simply. Have.
10:17
The playoffs. Last.
10:19
As long as possible than yeah,
10:22
You. Don't want to play Denver and
10:24
Round One, but if your goal for
10:26
the Lakers is that, have a chance.
10:29
To. Actually, Make.
10:32
The finals and win a
10:34
championship. Then.
10:37
You have than the best thing you
10:39
can possibly do is beat New Orleans
10:41
tonight. And then take
10:44
Denver on. And take your chances.
10:46
And the New Orleans by the way,
10:49
I. I want to talk
10:51
about what this game means for Zion
10:54
for a moment. Because.
10:56
I on has had. Some.
10:59
Rough moments this year against
11:02
the Lakers. Won
11:04
a lot of people thought was. Kind.
11:07
Of the low point of his. Own
11:10
careers too strong. But.
11:12
Of his season. Was. That
11:14
playing game against the Lakers.
11:17
When. He had thirteen points. They got
11:19
annihilated in the twenty five minutes he
11:21
was on the court. He was a
11:23
minus thirty three. I since I'm a
11:26
plane in the and season tournament game
11:28
I misspoke. And.
11:32
Thought other times that Zionist played
11:34
this year into the Lakers. he
11:36
played well once. Are
11:39
actually played well twice even though they
11:41
last saw. One. Of them
11:43
got blown out. But then game eighty
11:45
two which was a big game for
11:48
the Belgians. Le. Bron locked
11:50
him up. And. That
11:52
was some nels, man. Le.
11:54
Bron and Years Twenty One
11:56
Aids, Thirty Nine Guarding Xy
11:58
on the athletic. The norm number
12:00
one pick who should be entering his
12:02
prime. Le. Bron, having thirteen
12:04
assists at half time, doing everything
12:07
he wants and Zion once again
12:09
looking out of his depth. Is
12:11
a big moment for Zile. To.
12:14
Big moment. Now long flips
12:16
and Long will go at the miles
12:18
along with Zion. A player
12:20
that plane barely whenever as in David
12:22
is played the most games of his
12:24
career in law careers as yours but
12:26
he's been bang doubly least easy that's
12:28
going to be concerned going into the
12:30
plane and further was so. So.
12:34
She's. Been healthy this year. The back
12:36
spasms. Are. Obviously a concern
12:38
zap at the tail end of game
12:41
eighty two, but I would expect him.
12:43
To. Emin He said he's gonna play. I
12:46
would expect him to play. I don't think
12:48
that he's going to miss this game. And.
12:52
Whoever loses this game obviously we'll have
12:54
another chance with a home game against
12:56
either Sacramento or Golden State. But.
13:00
This. Could be a big moment for
13:02
Zion. And the
13:04
but listen, the Pelicans, much like the
13:06
Timber Wolves, are trying to work in
13:08
their second best player and Brandon Ingram,
13:10
Karl Anthony Towns and there have been
13:12
some fits and starts with it. Ah,
13:16
There. Is one more fall of demands? a
13:18
weird kind of about the Denver side of
13:20
things. Let's get to that for removal. He
13:23
on the diverse I was when bees of set of
13:25
Denver's A Game of the Year. I.
13:28
Don't know what was the game of the year, but it was
13:30
one of the most. Impactful and important
13:32
results. And it's one of
13:35
the reasons why Denver to
13:37
me. Is. A
13:39
little shaky. They.
13:41
Win that game that control their own destiny
13:43
for the one seed or up seventeen in
13:46
the fourth quarter. And
13:48
the spurs without the want a great
13:50
or without so han without somebody else.
13:53
Come back and beetle. Don't. De.
13:56
Monte Grandma Busy Blows Calvin Johnson! Thank
13:58
you Daniel! And though.
14:00
Denver. It's. Not
14:03
the Denver's play poorly but didn't
14:05
present some odd losses. That
14:07
one in particular. And. So.
14:10
These there's a chance Denver's cottages like
14:12
North The gas Tuesday's you know? A
14:16
very data with. No
14:18
because they wanted to one seat. They.
14:20
Beat Minnesota's out was supposed to lock
14:22
up the one season. all you gotta do
14:24
is beat the damn Spurs. Who.
14:27
Won twenty games this year and wording I'm
14:29
playing all their best players to. They have
14:31
such a home court advantage with that altitude,
14:34
all of it and. Denver.
14:36
V I interest in Denver rightfully so.
14:38
Was not scared of any body. Denver.
14:41
Does not want the Lakers in Rome. One.
14:44
Not. Because they're afraid of them because that's
14:46
a pain in the ass mantra. The
14:49
i mean they're they're even even if you
14:51
don't beat him to go into the psych
14:53
around will exceed exactly right and was at
14:55
all of them as if minute segment know
14:57
it would be the ceremony of a run
14:59
and so. For. All those read
15:02
like I'm just. The. Lakers need to
15:04
handle their business with. The other reason lakers
15:06
me to win tonight is get those extra
15:08
time off. You. Don't want to
15:11
play the night in out you know, go all
15:13
out. Lose it. Then. You're playing
15:15
in a true game seven scenario during
15:17
I Thursday and then starting off your
15:19
post season Sunday. You know he would
15:21
just a couple days and so I
15:23
think like yours will win tonight. I
15:26
think le Bron. This. Is the
15:28
first time. Le
15:30
Bron goes into a post season
15:33
healthy. Since. They
15:35
won the title. They.
15:37
Won the title and Twenty Twenty. Twenty.
15:40
Twenty One. Solomon Hill had
15:42
done that. Somersault.
15:44
Into his ankle. He
15:47
was gimpy that old post or that
15:49
first round. And then Anthony Davis got
15:51
hurt. Not first round disaster. Twenty twenty
15:53
do they missed the playoffs. Twenty.
15:56
Twenty Three. See. At
15:58
he was wearing a walking boot. Leave
16:00
before the post season demands a
16:02
dealing with that plantar fascia in
16:04
his foot. And.
16:06
If you remember last year the other story
16:08
last year with the playoffs I have some
16:10
of my i was. Le. Bron
16:13
was having is worse three point shooting
16:15
season and fifteen years he had a
16:17
run in the playoffs where he was
16:19
like one of twenty three from three
16:21
opposites going on right now. Where
16:23
he's having the best three point shooting your
16:25
of his career. And Le
16:28
Bron. The last seven games he's played.
16:31
He had a Career On Earth
16:33
rewrite Season I Forty. He.
16:36
Is averaging thirty.
16:39
Seven. And ten.
16:42
On. Sixty three percent from the
16:44
field. Fifty one percent from
16:46
for it. So.
16:49
Well for those reasons,
16:51
Like. I don't know, Man
16:53
it is. This.
16:56
Is when is one of those answers as read
16:58
over him? Those are for the last. How longer
17:00
was it. The
17:02
last ah last seven games. Coffee
17:05
Filter has a thirty points,
17:07
seven rebounds, ten assists sixty
17:09
three percent from the field.
17:12
Fifty. One person when referring. To
17:15
that does that include the nine of ten
17:17
from three games. And
17:19
well, not all. And.
17:21
So we'll We'll see. But.
17:24
I am. I'm optimistic
17:26
about the Lakers chances to night.
17:29
And they win Tonight will do a
17:31
full blown Lakers Nuggets preview on Thursday.
17:34
Art Nets. Are services east
17:36
coast or that the heap headed to the
17:38
Philly in the seven a game. Of
17:40
Phillies favored but in be to tweets
17:43
his knee and you are killed Killed
17:45
to tell you can count on play
17:47
on Jimmy Sites boucher the Celtics be
17:49
rooting for you. Or
17:51
do you. Want to play
17:53
the. You
17:55
want a so you go me One of my
17:57
only why you want to badges were as again.
18:00
Where do you really want real quick?
18:02
We should acknowledge it is for whoever
18:04
loses this game. Doesn't lose the next
18:06
game to Atlanta Chicago. But we're crossing
18:09
them out. Were saying Atlanta Chicago's got
18:11
no chance to You're going to play
18:13
either Philly or Miami. You say you
18:16
want Miami? Why. He. Adds
18:18
a stranger, I think that there's a little bit
18:20
as shoes to playoffs every with a craft. an
18:22
avid last year like come on. Now. Going
18:24
to have these guys pop out of the were and do
18:26
all the stuff they did last year. Of
18:28
and I do think the Celtics can get
18:30
over the have this year. And.
18:32
If you're definitely at least not lose to the
18:34
heat. But yeah
18:36
I think I think silly with him be
18:38
back as a little dangerous as think that
18:40
he would stay healthy throughout the series. By.
18:44
And I had much. I'd much rather play the
18:46
heat and than silly. Okay,
18:48
well so be careful what you wish for. Their.
18:51
Because. Either at By the way,
18:53
I think you're right, I know Philly
18:55
like playoff experience isn't isn't the best
18:57
or their playoff performance should I say.
19:00
So. Let me just over that. it.
19:03
Let me just give you. Thought.
19:06
Celtics. With pay them
19:09
and brown. What? It's been
19:11
like in the postseason. Okay, In
19:14
twenty eight seen. They. Beat
19:16
the Sixers four games to one. And.
19:21
Ah twenty twenty. They.
19:23
Lose to the heat. For. Games
19:25
to do. In
19:27
twenty twenty, do. They. Beat
19:30
the Heat for three in a game
19:32
that Jimmy Butler in game seven had
19:34
a three pointer to win the game
19:37
near the buzzer and missed it. And.
19:39
In Twenty twenty three, they beat
19:42
the sixers for three and then
19:44
lose city heat for three. So
19:47
they see. Played. On top every
19:49
time and beat them twice. The. Sixers
19:51
have never beaten up. With.
19:54
All that more when I left out sorry
19:56
in twenty twenty when they lost to the
19:58
seat, they swept the sixers. Round One.
20:01
So. There since stayed on brown been
20:03
together. there are three and own the
20:05
playoffs against the sixers and one and
20:07
do against the Heat. With. That
20:10
said, I think you're right. That.
20:13
Philly would read that Boston
20:15
would rather play Miami, specially
20:17
because Miami has not looked.
20:21
Anything like. Even right, you
20:23
know, For. Yep, Play Miami. Anything
20:26
like regular season Miami. Over last
20:28
couple years your they have been,
20:30
they haven't shown you that gear.
20:34
But. In beat the and be thing is
20:36
tricky and I'm interested to see it because
20:38
his numbers have been awesome since he came
20:40
back from injury. But. You
20:42
left a couple games like he got
20:44
hurt again and then came back. Injuries
20:47
been such a big part. Of
20:49
the story of his career, he
20:51
seems a little heavy right now.
20:53
I because. Of you know all
20:55
the time or more. Do it. And
20:58
so. Let. Me ask a
21:00
different question. Like
21:03
I. As since a
21:05
different question I think. It's.
21:07
To the prizes. Same answer like who are the Knicks
21:09
rooting for tonight Because they're going to play the winner.
21:12
And. The answers as they're probably also
21:14
rooting for Miami. Either.
21:17
Way. Whether it's
21:19
nick seat which is old school.
21:21
Nineties. Rivalry or Knicks Sixers
21:23
which is a nice eighties rivalry.
21:26
We're going to get a great
21:28
round one A on that side
21:30
of it and a bit Boston
21:32
Miami. That has been the story
21:34
of these are gone the last.
21:36
You've got. Twenty.
21:38
Years It feels like dating back to
21:40
Le Bron and the Big Three and
21:43
all of It or Boston Philly which
21:45
is another all time great in be
21:47
a rivalry doctor Jay and Bird so
21:49
that will be saddle be great. I
21:52
think Philly has. The.
21:54
Highest upside. Of.
21:56
Those teams by far. But.
21:59
We've never the scene and be
22:01
make round three. We've never seen
22:03
a bead with a great playoff
22:05
run and it seems like it's
22:07
always been hampered by injury. And
22:10
so. There. Is just
22:12
some holdings learned or see. We
22:14
also runs says and sounds like
22:16
you think Phillies fans should be
22:18
fairly concerned with and beads with
22:20
the Beatles. Will. Yell and
22:22
Yell. And I mean you're optimistic
22:24
that he came back couple weeks
22:27
for the play offs, but. He
22:30
as a as great as his
22:32
numbers or if you've watched there
22:34
have been some concerning signs. ah
22:36
I'm. Or it. let's go into
22:38
the Warriors. Or azores
22:41
of facing to road elimination Game says
22:43
to make the playoffs of the first
22:45
comes again Sacramento now wants to nights
22:47
of a winner. Not you've got no
22:49
got you've got no faith a Golden
22:51
State would ring. How far to
22:54
the Warriors? Have to make it through the playoff
22:56
runs? are running back next year. Oh.
23:00
That's a great question. So
23:05
much as play to sell. They.
23:08
Beat Sacramento. And
23:10
they beat New Orleans or the Lakers.
23:13
Than. They would be playing. I'm.
23:16
Okay, See. They
23:18
beat them. If
23:22
they do all of that, Make.
23:25
It round to like they did last
23:27
year but that includes you know, upsetting
23:29
the number one seed. Then.
23:31
Maybe they run it back. If.
23:33
They do all of that and
23:35
then beat the Clippers or the
23:38
Mavs in round two. And.
23:40
Make the conference finals then. they
23:42
definitely run it back. But.
23:44
None of that matters because they're not
23:46
winning tonight. Like
23:48
of which is I'm okay I
23:51
it ended Kings I understand the
23:53
kings have not been good since
23:55
the injuries. I don't dispute
23:57
that. But. In.
24:00
The war years. After.
24:04
The Warriors beat the Lakers. They.
24:06
Had at all. Sit. Now they're forum. As.
24:09
Long as they went three and old rest of
24:11
the way they were gonna move up to the
24:13
seven eight. They. Were in great position
24:15
to as you know I have two
24:18
chances to win one. And
24:20
what they did after that. Was. They
24:23
played a Portland team. That.
24:25
Was to and twelve and it's
24:27
previous fourteen. That. Was not
24:29
trying to win games. And
24:32
that game was tied. With.
24:34
Six minutes left. They. Escape
24:37
was a victory and have to
24:39
play staff thirty seven minutes to
24:41
get it. And
24:43
then the very next night. They
24:45
play a New Orleans team and get
24:48
v. And now
24:50
they find themselves as the Tim
24:52
Seat. Going. To
24:54
Sacramento. Where.
24:57
Is you're a Kings fan? Winning.
25:00
Tonight. And
25:02
eliminating the warriors. Would. Honestly
25:05
probably be. The. Best moments
25:07
for your franchise in twenty
25:10
years. Even. If
25:12
you've years in the next rotten lose been
25:14
a blind. Yeah. And
25:16
because you get to say demands a big
25:18
as i think. That. If the
25:21
warriors lose scenario is why
25:23
we split that team of
25:25
yeah ssssss is Not last
25:28
game ever. With
25:30
that clay and dream on together. Could
25:33
be. And in the lol
25:35
our new seem. Fair.
25:37
Think about that man. That.
25:39
Like that his son idol. I
25:42
don't think. This. Has
25:44
gotten I since a enough coverage because we
25:47
just got set wheezes kneel on Friday. As
25:49
of Friday evening we thought the workers were
25:51
going to be in the seventy two kids
25:53
will send them an allotted time. I.
25:58
The. Wars of to. The have point
26:00
favorites right? So. They're the
26:02
spend all their slight favorite. Snack.
26:05
Quite a coin flip accordent Vegas, but it's
26:07
close, right? So.
26:12
There. Is. Around.
26:14
A coin flips chance. That.
26:16
The final game. That.
26:19
Klay Thompson and Steph Curry ever
26:21
play together as teammates. Is.
26:24
In. Ten hours.
26:27
They're the biggest! I'm one of the
26:29
greatest rose ever. right? Path
26:31
yes, one of the greatest
26:33
diners Season M B A
26:36
History or. Dog.
26:39
In this order, This
26:42
Russell Celtics Eleven titles and thirteen years.
26:44
H. I'm doing this on top my
26:46
head, but I'll have. I'll get it.
26:48
The Russell Celtics Eight. Eight straight titles,
26:51
eleven titles, and thirteen years. They're number
26:53
one with a bullet. right?
26:56
That second grade is dying to see.
26:59
Are Jordan's Bulls. Six.
27:02
Sidles and eight years. The.
27:05
Third Graders dynasty ever. Are.
27:09
The Magic and Karim. Letters.
27:13
Were. Five titles
27:15
in a decade. And
27:19
the fourth graders dynasty Ever. Are
27:22
The Steps play Draymond
27:25
Warriors. Where.
27:27
They one for rings.
27:30
Winter. Six finals. In
27:33
a ears. And. Then
27:35
rounding out the top five would be the
27:37
shack cove the Lakers. Three.
27:40
Straight titles for finals overall
27:42
and five years. So.
27:45
The greatest dynasty this league
27:47
has seen. Since. The
27:50
Nineties. Ai
27:53
and. You.
27:56
Could. See the final last gasp of
27:58
it. This. And.
28:02
I by the way. The. Other layer
28:04
to that is this. If
28:07
they get cooks that not as they get
28:10
cooked. if they lose. And.
28:12
Clay's a free agent and signs elsewhere.
28:16
What? Is steps do. What?
28:19
And we talk to others world
28:21
like distaff say. And he
28:24
can do whatever he wants. but the step
28:26
prioritize. The. Best possible
28:28
chance at winning more
28:31
championships. Or. Those
28:33
employees would. Le Bron gives them a lethal
28:35
shooter. This. Or
28:37
that, yeah, that would you Listen, I don't
28:39
want Le Bron to stay with the Lakers
28:41
for the rest of his career, and I
28:43
don't want steps they with the words the
28:45
rest of their career. My my favorite fantasy
28:47
scenario is because the only way seven Le
28:50
Bron could ever team up. His.
28:52
Own like neutral ground. Like.
28:54
Subs I'm gonna go to Le Bron. similar bronze like
28:56
a source of seems so the team that makes the
28:59
most sense the mods a for them to do it.
29:01
Is. The. Charlotte Hornets.
29:04
And. Here's why. Step.
29:07
Is from their. His. Dad played
29:09
their. Stuff. Gets to do a
29:11
little homecoming and Le Bron gets to be
29:13
like hey, Michael. Jordan ran
29:15
the seem for twenty years, living on
29:18
made themselves want a words or as
29:20
franchise all come here at forty years
29:22
old and show you what winning babbel
29:24
looks like. That's it. That's a dream
29:27
scenario. not gonna happen. But the point
29:29
is this. you know what? is that?
29:31
what matters most up and there's no
29:33
judgment there. But. Financing.
29:37
is true with the Warriors and
29:39
winning championships. Are now
29:42
contradictory ideas? Are
29:44
very quickly. Let's go on the Masters corner
29:47
just for a moment. Died.
29:49
Odds time for the golf corner or.
29:52
Couldn't do any more. I'd rather be an
29:54
usher study Schaeffler one the masters. but could
29:56
he be a golden to? The answer is
29:59
no. Phil everybody in on
30:01
what happened this weekend. Oh
30:03
I'm me. What happened as we can is ah
30:06
the best player in the world played like it.
30:08
And ran away with the masters. And
30:11
he turned a one shot lead going
30:13
into Sunday in to kind of a
30:15
snooze or by the second half of
30:17
the back nine. Birdies.
30:19
Fourteen or fifteen. and sixteen
30:21
other guys kind of fell
30:23
apart. The. Dot non Schaeffler
30:26
stories of course Tiger who
30:28
played a great Friday round
30:30
three even barn terrible condition.
30:33
Brutal conditions to break the record
30:35
for most consecutive made gods and
30:37
then. Immediately. You.
30:40
Know. He. And. His. Body gave out
30:42
what are you gave it his all that the
30:44
me finish last place. Of all the people who
30:46
did make the cuts there is a weird. Le.
30:50
Bron Tiger. Make.
30:53
The Cut at the Masters play the
30:55
Nuggets in round one. Corollary of is
30:58
there a scenario where the Lakers do
31:00
get the Nuggets in round one? Le.
31:03
Bron. Empties the
31:05
entire clip. Knocks
31:07
off the Nuggets. And then
31:09
just gets. Beaten and round to.
31:12
By. Either Phoenix or Minnesota whom you know
31:14
what I mean like doesn't like that he
31:17
raised his I do it Zahab the a
31:19
good that's kind of like tiger. Played
31:21
great for the first two rounds and
31:23
then finished dead last in the term.
31:26
Like. He was really is clearly at a
31:28
goal reached in the rivers body. Were watching
31:30
the the the Masters up in that room
31:32
and I saw his name was getting I
31:35
was like always placed persists because he was
31:37
laughing and he was actually like sixty third
31:39
of the guy response of my exactly no
31:41
I agree to Monday's like all leftovers I've
31:44
seen tigers name on the leaderboards. we're watching
31:46

31:48

deadline because I don't have one. Honestly,
37:52
What? The. Come on. N.
37:54
B A Pr. I.
37:56
Put my time and. I
37:59
have. The Own: My
38:01
expertise and dedication. Hundred.
38:04
And twenty people have a ballot. The.
38:07
Idea that I don't have one. It.
38:10
I'm not going as you say shit with your Le
38:12
Bron boys. Well.
38:14
You know, so that's interesting. So.
38:17
We're going to talk about that in a
38:19
moment because I do think there's some bias
38:21
happening here, but not in the direction people
38:23
think. Well, let's get right to it. Demands
38:25
a ah, So. What's the First
38:27
war during the start? With. Saw
38:30
his Mvp first or in your ballot is
38:32
a thanks to those watching on you tube
38:34
are going to show a little graphic in
38:36
there was listening on the on the F
38:38
you got Luca one the wanna go on
38:40
by wanted to go all field I've you
38:42
know you go okay I'm all in all
38:44
joke is yet to you got as see
38:46
a it's three. Ya to set
38:48
for in Branson. As far as. Okay,
38:53
So. Brunson.
38:57
Shout out to him. The.
38:59
Knicks. Despite. The injuries.
39:02
Despite. Not having another in
39:04
my opinion all star level player.
39:08
Jail. And Brunson. Like
39:10
through all sorry level player carry them
39:12
to fifty wins. See.
39:14
To me is like a better version.
39:17
Of the Celtics, Isaiah Thomas the year
39:19
he came in fifth place, an Mvp
39:22
voting. Exempt is better
39:24
than that, I d and sturdier.
39:27
A and I'm okay. With.
39:29
Him taking Tatum spot on
39:32
the Mvp balance Janice. Despite.
39:35
The team being on, you know,
39:37
a little underwhelming. His numbers are
39:39
bananas. As
39:41
see you hadn't mvp caliber
39:43
season. Carrying the thunder
39:45
to one seed. A
39:47
and. Being. Is
39:49
the only superstar on that
39:52
team but he dealt with
39:54
to storage years by to
39:56
historic players. And. Luke and
39:58
joke. It's. A. And.
40:00
Ultimately, What?
40:04
Broke the time for me because Luke
40:06
and Yogis were that close. Was.
40:09
The. Unprecedented. nature.
40:12
Of what Lugo did this
40:14
year, the only players. Since.
40:17
The merger. To. Average more
40:19
points per game Them Luca. In.
40:22
Any season. Party
40:24
did it twice. Coby did
40:26
it once. Jordan did
40:28
it twice. You. Then
40:31
add as. He did it
40:33
efficiently. With. Nine rebounds
40:35
and nine assists the game. And.
40:38
And this part is key. We.
40:42
Have never seen Kyrie Irving.
40:45
Be. A consistent part of
40:47
winning. With. Out
40:49
Le Bron James guiding. And
40:53
I thought that this may have seen
40:55
was not going to be able to.
40:57
and the mods a at we have
40:59
a decade of diaries career before and
41:01
after Le Bron where he just wasn't.
41:03
Couldn't be a part of winning. And
41:06
Luke I helped unlock the best
41:08
of Kyrie. They. Played excellent do
41:11
with each other. Is the last two months of
41:13
year they might have been the best team in
41:15
the league. So. I
41:17
gave luke of the slight nod over joke
41:19
it's go ahead. Of owning a
41:21
few points with the with your list
41:23
here. oh I'm so the disease fair
41:26
to give you the full credit for
41:28
crap for Kyrie also or with that
41:30
like know who got his has carry.
41:32
On. His team. Oh. And
41:34
like the only guys in your garage homered.
41:37
right? I mean you're on says guy. right?
41:40
Here what are you have your eyes of their
41:42
five an easy that home food out that he
41:45
of as they are I understand but but they
41:47
won the same amount of games. They. Both
41:49
want zero and one T V of
41:51
is it does. The West was so
41:53
much tougher and soda with his Dallas
41:55
Won fifty. I'm in the next one
41:58
fifty and so I. No.
42:01
I. Mean, I shouldn't I want? and. I.
42:04
Think Bronson had an amazing your. There's no
42:06
way you can argue. Bronson is the Mvp
42:08
of the league, but go ahead keep going.
42:10
For me I am to thought so you're
42:12
You're okay with Local being the five seed
42:15
one a couple years ago. you know, slashers
42:17
you had issues with. York is being six.
42:21
Beings in those were years ago as right. Hold on, Let me
42:23
let me respond of that. Well.
42:26
This is now. Light.
42:29
Assert. Circular logic? right?
42:32
You can't argue. The door
42:34
was old, been fairly. For.
42:38
A joke, it's but no one else can
42:40
walk through it. Like.
42:42
I did not like. A
42:45
six seed winning league mvp a couple
42:47
years ago. But. Now that
42:49
president has been set. Like.
42:52
The So What Are we talking about? That. It's.
42:54
A joke it's hadn't won that
42:56
in be be thin Gavin Lugar
42:59
maybe would be fairly not really
43:01
eligible but she did and now
43:03
to of the last seven Mbps
43:05
have been sick seats of rough
43:07
one of those succeed and joke
43:09
it's did say and I will
43:11
say something else. That. Jokes:
43:14
It's fans. Might. And Daniel
43:17
might not like others might not like,
43:19
but I'm totally comfortable with it. And
43:22
this is what I said last year about him Be.
43:26
A bit is razor thin.
43:29
I. Am totally fine with
43:31
it going to. The.
43:33
Guy who hasn't won one yet. Now.
43:37
Unlike years passed, A
43:39
joke. It's wins it. I got no problem with.
43:42
The. Guys. Has a. More
43:45
than credible case as the single best
43:47
player in the league though the scariest
43:50
team in the league. See.
43:52
Is the key to everything. The.
43:54
Guys with three mb bees
43:56
or magic bird and moses.
43:59
Yo. The is already better than
44:02
Moses. Probably.
44:05
He's. At least yeah, I've yeah, brought
44:07
a probably is. And so. If.
44:10
Is. It is. He deserves to be more in
44:12
that someone were the ones that were the
44:15
nuggets. Those two taught those two back to
44:17
back can be Pc Yokosuka. So.
44:19
They were the six seed for
44:21
his second Mbps. And. They
44:23
were the three seed for his
44:26
first Mbp. So.
44:28
They were with standards know, Lucas sandwiched in
44:30
between the two of those. Correct.
44:32
Move on. And.
44:35
And so but again, like I. I
44:38
think logo was at the best season of any
44:40
body. I
44:42
think that joke. it's. It's.
44:44
Like a fifty one forty nine thing.
44:48
And as see a is a. In
44:50
my opinion and I know Thunder fans
44:52
friday upset with me on this. I
44:55
think Sch any won't be. Clearly.
44:57
You'll get some first place votes. Buying.
44:59
He should be a unanimous third
45:02
place. Meaning. There's.
45:04
No way you can vote him lower
45:06
than third, but I also don't think
45:09
there's you can make a case. He
45:11
was better. Than. Lugo were joke.
45:13
it's. I'm. My
45:15
sorry I good there that are the best
45:18
record in the rye of Tatum on earth.
45:20
Do you have him right outside of Sixer
45:22
Woods was so he would be right outside.
45:24
It's Six and you'll see on when it
45:26
comes to first team all and be a.
45:29
I. Give Tatum some love. So.
45:32
It's a little contradictory to some people.
45:34
Did not have your. Mvp.
45:36
Ballot be the same as your first the mall and be
45:39
a. But I
45:41
am doing some lifting on
45:43
jail and bronze since value
45:45
because of what the team
45:47
situation was vs. Tatum Steam
45:50
overall being so dominant an
45:52
overwhelming. Ah, And.
45:55
So no, I just thought those
45:57
five guys had better seasons. Then.
45:59
Day. Alright, let's go to the defensive player
46:01
the year. For defensive
46:04
player the years you've got Anthony Davis
46:06
said one you get when be at
46:08
to and then you've got go Barrett
46:11
Three. This saw really as a
46:13
story about her. Guy. So
46:15
all I did to about his
46:17
family. Now. I saw. It does
46:19
briefly that the Things That Go Bears
46:21
Year Part I A I didn't read
46:23
those stories are Miss Quarter, but it
46:26
seems like when Rudy was a child,
46:28
he dealt with some horrible racism from
46:30
inside his own family. Ah
46:32
Woods is just about as sad as it
46:34
gets. I've heard that holes for but I
46:36
saw to on or it. So.
46:38
Here's the deal. At
46:42
the Lakers. Team deep and has
46:45
been average this year. Without.
46:47
Anthony Davis. It's a
46:50
total and utter framer.
46:53
I think. See.
46:55
Is. The. Best, most
46:57
impactful defender in the league.
47:00
And the fact that Go Bears
47:02
won this award three times already
47:04
and when bees team won twenty
47:06
games. You're twenty one games
47:09
is enough for me to give it a
47:11
Anthony Davis. And the fact
47:13
and be can dislike this. But.
47:16
This is part of. The. Math
47:18
that I have on it. If
47:20
Anthony Davis doesn't win this year, I
47:24
don't know when he's going to win. Because.
47:26
As soon as. When
47:29
bees team is decent. He's
47:31
just gonna when. I
47:33
don't know. Five straight six straight like I
47:35
don't as I don't know what's gonna stop
47:37
him from winning defensive player of the year.
47:39
So all three of these guys are more
47:42
than worthy. I think
47:44
that because. The entirety
47:46
of the Lakers being
47:48
passable defensively restaurant a
47:50
Anthony Davis' shoulders. I
47:52
I'm going to give it to him. Ah,
47:55
Ai me that that closer space on
47:58
those yeah you have no. Although
48:00
follow ups? okay now. Before.
48:03
We get the all and be a team's
48:05
by the way. a reminder in the chat
48:07
of give any questions about the wedding or
48:09
vow renewal. Anything personal life related will get
48:12
to those in the see block. But now
48:14
the really fun stuff the All and Be
48:16
A seems let's do it. Or
48:19
so for your first team you
48:21
go move as Ga Yeon is.
48:23
Tatum, your kids, Are.
48:26
Your as I can go and start. oh no no no
48:28
don't know that much as. So. Let's
48:30
just start their. A
48:32
and. Go. From. Go.
48:35
From there. So. Luca
48:37
Sta. John
48:40
is t them joke. it's to me.
48:43
That is. Incredibly easy.
48:47
Everyone is going to have Luca
48:49
as see a joke. It's. And
48:52
then John as Tatum and Brunson are
48:54
going to be the three guys for
48:56
two spots. But. The Celtics
48:59
were. A sixty plus
49:01
when otter juggernaut. And
49:03
because of that. In my
49:05
opinion they have to have to. At
49:07
least they have to have someone on
49:09
first team all in be A. So
49:12
I kind of split the baby to
49:14
be fair and put Tatum first team
49:16
all and be A and put Brunson
49:18
second team all and be A with
49:20
Bronson getting the fifth Mvp spot right?
49:23
Now. To second team. Where
49:26
I have brunson in Edwards is my
49:28
guards. And. I know that it
49:30
can be position was but I wanted to
49:32
at least for the first and second seem
49:35
stick with two guards, two forwards in a
49:37
center. Brunson. As Edwards or
49:39
my guards. Le. Bron and Duran
49:41
or my forwards and Anthony Davis'
49:43
my center. Anthony
49:46
Edwards adding speaks for himself. They.
49:48
Were in your content And for the
49:50
one seed he had some of the
49:53
moments of the year. his numbers are
49:55
unbelievable add more than kept them afloat
49:57
with out. Karl Anthony Towns.
50:00
We already have talked about Bronson. Anthony
50:03
Davis. My defense blurred years. Orphans of Numbers
50:06
are great. So. It's really
50:08
about le Bron Durant's and
50:10
co y. Two. Of
50:13
those three guys to get
50:15
the final forward spot. Or.
50:17
The final two forward spots. And.
50:20
I think it is crazy. How
50:24
many people have Le Bron Third,
50:26
seem. To. I
50:28
understand the case or Durant's. I
50:31
don't understand the case for cola. I
50:34
don't know. What? Color
50:37
wise. Was. Better at
50:39
this year than Le Bron. consistently.
50:42
So. Regular numbers weren't many
50:44
words. But. So
50:46
not really, though. I
50:49
mean so that the seem. That.
50:51
The teams overall record. The.
50:53
As if The clippers? one. Three.
50:56
More games the and the Lakers
50:59
did but why also missed for
51:01
more games than Le Bron did?
51:04
Look. One of the bronze wins the
51:06
in season tournament when doesn't count
51:08
For some reason it's not. It
51:10
is a game that happened as
51:12
what is not in the standings
51:14
bomb. So. If we look at
51:17
it. Too and
51:19
played seventy five games. Le.
51:21
Bron Seventy One Ply Sixty Eight.
51:23
So during wins that category. Points.
51:27
Again, Durant's. Twenty
51:29
seven A game. Le Bron. Twenty
51:31
six. For. Y twenty four
51:33
different ones. That category. Blue.
51:37
Le Bron. As per game, Le
51:39
Bron wins assists. Le Bron kills
51:41
them. Field. Goal percentage. Le
51:43
Bron beat some both affected field
51:45
goal percentage. Le Bron been some
51:47
both through shooting percentage. Le Bron
51:49
be them both. You. Want to
51:51
goto the of. Advance. That's
51:54
that's box score. Plus minus:
51:56
Liberals are both voip. Le
51:58
Bron beat them both. P
52:00
or Le Bron beat some
52:02
both. They all three have
52:04
a you seem to warp.
52:07
Yeah. Value over there really isn't player. But.
52:10
Not an old I just as a new and
52:12
all learned. This. Close
52:14
it. Dumb. So. For. All those
52:16
things. So. I.
52:19
I actually some people's and by the
52:21
way. Is Hors de
52:23
Vinci of rating. They are all
52:26
applied identically at one fourteen. That's.
52:29
The one category work. Why actually in that
52:31
kind of team based as well soon on
52:33
the court with were caught So Le Bron
52:35
I'm sure benefit from having a Anthony Davis
52:38
on the court. I am senate or of
52:40
rating network Why actually shown to the most
52:42
his want one for the brown one twenty
52:44
two Ramp one eighteen. I'm.
52:47
But. Defensive Backs plus minus.
52:50
Le. Bron be some both. I don't know that that
52:52
passes the I debts but that would have this.
52:56
Windsor's. Costs of
52:58
Goods Why we're equalizer eight point nine
53:00
the bronze a point five during to
53:02
the point three. So I just think
53:04
Le Bron had a better season than
53:07
Gli Leonard. And I don't
53:09
know the of. Argument.
53:12
Against it. And you can
53:14
say that Anthony Davis is better than
53:16
pulled as in Paul George? Sure, but
53:18
the rest of the Clippers roster as
53:20
far better than the rest of the
53:22
Lakers roster. So. Bilingual
53:24
branch to be second team all and be A
53:26
and what I actually think has happened here. Is.
53:31
There. Was some concern that all the brawn
53:33
even if he has a bad year. Because.
53:35
He's Will Braun and because he's old is gonna
53:38
get graded on a curve. I actually think he
53:40
was great it down. I. Think
53:42
because he's in your twenty one and is
53:44
the oldest guy in the league know people
53:46
have shown was designed Zoom with this
53:48
is what would you say. Oh
53:51
side of say we already to give
53:53
you more awards Burgoyne yet Voyager and
53:55
the. And it was like what last
53:57
year Le Bron was of fringe role in Be
53:59
A. Hi this year old be worse, but
54:01
he's better than he was last year. He's
54:04
not hurt, he played more games. He's having
54:06
the best three point shooting your of his
54:08
career. Skis, battles and Gwi Leonard. He's.
54:11
Is flatly better. They employ Leonard.
54:14
Gotten. Right? A So bosom. So with
54:16
that said, Le Bron and eighty both
54:18
making the second team and and being
54:20
in the eighth seed sky crazier. And
54:22
you've got brown and and you're tough
54:24
for submissions. And. Yours I
54:27
was. So. Let
54:29
me explain that. know get a third team in a
54:31
moment. I don't have a
54:33
problem with that because. This.
54:35
Lakers team. Once Darvin Hand
54:38
stops being a dope. And
54:41
is the first Fantasy games that year.
54:44
They're starting their worst line
54:46
up and Torreon Princes family
54:48
involved since then. They've
54:51
been one of the best teams in the late. Served.
54:54
They've won eighteen of their last twenty fourth.
54:56
Since the twenty four and twenty five start,
54:58
they've been outstanding and I just think they've
55:00
been to the best and players in the
55:02
league. So. People.
55:04
Can parse it? That's fine. I think they've
55:07
been to the best simpler recently. Third team.
55:09
Staff. Booker.
55:12
Hawaiian Paul George
55:14
were. The. Easiest
55:16
ones and then. The.
55:20
Final spot came down
55:22
between these following people.
55:24
The. Air and Fox Jaylen Brown
55:27
timer is Albert and tell
55:29
Obama Garo when be go
55:31
bare demands as a bonus
55:33
in Zile. Nine.
55:35
Guys for one spot. I went with
55:37
box. And I know some
55:40
Kings fans will say it's a bonus is
55:42
more deserving than Fox. Maybe I'm holding some
55:44
bonuses playoffs up against them. Halliburton was not
55:46
the same guideposts injury and I understand the
55:48
argument. The Celtics one sixty four games. they
55:50
should have two guys on there. I thought
55:53

some of the nicest thing she's ever said

1:01:22
as pretty button down. You.
1:01:24
Know what I mean. It's not
1:01:26
conservative in her politics, but conservative
1:01:28
in the a political sense and
1:01:30
senior that the time of her
1:01:32
life. it seems like ball and
1:01:34
of ball ball and was really
1:01:36
making everyone have a bowl and
1:01:38
so that that was like. Such.
1:01:41

1:02:29
I was super terrify? If I'm being honest
1:02:31
with you. I was very terrified of into
1:02:33
the moment that I started speaking. Actually up
1:02:35
into about like the last hour and a
1:02:37
half. Strange to the. Arm.
1:02:40
But. Up by yeah who's I was really
1:02:43
scared but I just could not not give
1:02:45
a speech. My sister out there and do
1:02:47
they do. Banal was really glad
1:02:49
that I did have given it. A
1:02:52
thought as I was very well spilled of

last one on table like five minutes before
1:02:56
I gave a speech with. Feel.
1:02:58
Really ideas? Even know? ah, Judy
1:03:00
Greer out and you didn't I
1:03:02
suppose. I knew you were nervous
1:03:04
about it because you had told
1:03:06
me. And. Then I knew you
1:03:08
were nervous about it because of how you
1:03:11
started. But. One year starting
1:03:13
zone seem nervous at all. You.
1:03:15
Know anyone who has him, so that
1:03:17
argument was smooth. You. Seems
1:03:20
only gone for organizer was a market
1:03:22
for to isolate everybody here love each
1:03:24
other as since I use. My
1:03:26
career but also was weird for you. Also
1:03:28
because some of coworkers were there. You're like
1:03:31
boss, Yeah says boss is. there is usually
1:03:33
some your and I mean there's that element
1:03:35
of it. Ah, I'm. But. Also,
1:03:37
one thing that I don't know if you
1:03:39
gave yourself credit for. Because the way
1:03:42
the speeches at the wedding worked was it was
1:03:44
just are three gets. It. Was the
1:03:46
mods a D or Indiana gave speeches, You're.
1:03:48
The only one of the three who didn't read. You.

1:03:53
I thought you knew you and you know how you
1:03:56
want to lay my head in. Wrong? Wanted to touch
1:03:58

1:04:00
soar you're going tell I. Really
1:04:02
great art. maps. Got a question?
1:04:06
Which. Of your kids had the best speech. So.
1:04:09
I there wasn't a best speech. But
1:04:12
they were all. They.
1:04:15
Would to me the speeches were the best part of
1:04:17
the whole night. Ah, Because
1:04:19
it was so impressive watching the
1:04:21
three of you. Ah,
1:04:24
I'm. And. Demands a relaying
1:04:26
a story that I did not
1:04:28

1:04:30
I'm glad that I'm older it yeah
1:04:32
exactly Yeah arm biggest in and it's
1:04:34
funny how like life embarrassing works is
1:04:36
this is like a. You. Know
1:04:39
what they call these days a core
1:04:41
memory for demands. It seems like like
1:04:43
you get you vividly remember the details
1:04:46
of it. What led up to it
1:04:48
All pieces of. It. I.
1:04:50
Have no recollection of even the
1:04:53
Vegas parts of it. I just
1:04:55
didn't know what happened. Ah, I'm
1:04:57
A and. Seat. Hearing that.
1:05:00
Dnr. The.
1:05:03
In his impressive ten year old. And.
1:05:05
It enters. The. In of
1:05:07
saying to me the day before. She
1:05:10
was like idling my speeches. Funny enough,
1:05:13
And. I'm like baby. Don't go for funny,
1:05:15
go for sincere and sweet. And
1:05:17
she was like know everyone likes Bonnie.
1:05:20
And. I'm like. It's. Really hard to
1:05:22
be funny. Like. Being prepared
1:05:24

looks and else used to feel
1:05:45
about it and else he feels
1:05:47
about it now and they're d
1:05:49
aura. Do. Your
1:05:51
as speeds was. Maybe.
1:05:54
The most heart wrenching because I
1:05:56
know who is powerful, right? Ai
1:05:59
and. Why am I don't
1:06:01
think the audience new was a couple
1:06:03
lines of her speech. More
1:06:06
the opening lines of her
1:06:08
college application essay. I will
1:06:10
say what lines they were but it was. I
1:06:12
knew that that was kind of a wink and
1:06:14
nod to me that I guess I knew it.
1:06:17
And you know she and I knew it. And.
1:06:20
Say one other thing so do your.
1:06:22
I talked about some things that see
1:06:24
dealt with in middle school from like
1:06:26
a bullying perspective. A
1:06:28
and. I didn't
1:06:31
know it until. Two
1:06:33
hours later, But.
1:06:35
Shortly after the speech is Deanna
1:06:37
was crying. Crying. Like
1:06:40
a really hard. And.
1:06:42
It was because she didn't
1:06:44
know. That. Her big sister has
1:06:46
ever been bullied and it was so
1:06:48
like. Moving. and taught
1:06:50
the like moving and emotional for
1:06:53
her that she started sobbing about
1:06:55
it and so like that level
1:06:57
of like sibling connectivity and whatever
1:06:59
it was. It was really a
1:07:01
beautiful. Part. Of the brought
1:07:04
them closer experience earth or
1:07:06
hundred percent. Of I'll try
1:07:08
to go fast reflexes ago to get to work.

strongly about. You know, a
1:08:14
couple things, but mostly I followed. Her
1:08:17
lead on it. And
1:08:20
