How y'all doing today? Chilling, man. I wake up every morning, hit my knees, and I pray. That's your wake-up song? Because I finally made a way. Nah, don't sing Rod. You're not allowed to sing Rod. I've been running up that keg, lil' mama. You sang Petey Pablo in here, though. Hell nah.

Waking up to Petey Pablo was crazy. Sing that North Carolina shit. Man, I ain't never wake up there. Shout out to Winston. Shout out to Winston, man. Listen, man, a lot of basketball

I took care of last night. A lot of 2B originals, for sure. I ain't even gonna call them doubleheaders. 2B originals last night. Crazy basketball. We're gonna start off

with the Cavs, man. They stay unbeaten, man. 119-113 got the Bulls out the way yesterday. 12 and on the season. It's the best start since that, you know what I'm saying, historic 2015-16 Warriors team. How y'all feel about it?

Talk to that. That's the assistant coach over there. Yeah. I mean, I said they was going to lose last night. I just tried to, you know, be a little different, go against the grain for once. But the Cavs are serious. They taking care of business.

They beating the teams they're supposed to beat. And then when they play really good teams, they show up and they winning those games too. I think they serious this year. Most definitely. Like you said, when you start off like that, you have to beat the teams you're supposed to beat. Those be the games that you drop off random Monday night,

you on the flight dealing with the Bulls. But listen, Donovan Mitchell led the way last night. Smooth, easy 36 piece. So, I've been having that conversation. My boy been killing, man. I like Donovan Mitchell led the way last night. Smooth, easy 36-piece. Since I've been having that conversation, my boy been killing, man. I like Donovan. Yeah, I think Donovan Mitchell, he's starting to kind of solidify as the top two guard in the league.

I mean, undefeated team, getting 36 points last night, leading his group. I'm starting to believe it. I mean, I don't think my Donovan Mitchell and A.E. take is too off now. I think it's starting to come to the light. I think ESPN's starting to give them some love, so we'll see how it go. And last night,

it's on the screen right now, but come on, bro. John Moran had two 360, but the one Donovan had last night is crazy, bro. That's insane to do that in a real basketball game. Like, driving through the middle, switching hands, that's nuts. He must have heard me when I said he ain't been getting in his bag lately. His athletic bag.

He been disrespecting his athleticism like my boy went in the dunk contest. He been playing under the rim. Yeah, MVP Donovan, man. He gotta be a front runner for MVP, him and Yote.

Now, all right, now we hear about this conversation. You said two guard. Is he the best two guard in the East? I won't even go into NBA. Is he the best two guard

in the East right now? He the best two guard in the league right now. Now, that's wild. Forget the East. He the best two-guard in the East? I won't even go into the NBA. Is he the best two-guard in the East right now? He's the best two-guard in the league right now. No, that's wild. Forget the East. He's the best two in the league. Who's playing better than Donovan Mitchell right now? He's off to a great start. You know what I mean?

Shout out to DM, man. The real DM. You know what I'm saying? But I'm asleep, bro. I'm asleep. Not the best in the league. You know, it's still in. And Shea.

You know what I'm saying? But he holding it down. He holding it down. Yeah, he holding it down. He leading his team. Donovan Mitchell's not better than Shea Gilchrist. Okay, so who's our top three? Because we ain't even mentioned Book at all.

I've already said it. I don't know. Book who? Oh. Who? They used to play for Clemson. Booker T! Oh, he's calling a damn, damn book.

Shout out to Michelle Beal. We love Devin Booker, but top three, not right now. Ooh, that's tough. Bradley Beal, not right now. It's low. They low. You know what I'm saying? They in that top 10 for sure.

But it's led by Shea and Donovan. I'll give it to Donovan for sure. Now, a lot of talk has been on the internet. You know what I'm saying? Hey, don't forget, they point guard. He killing two. GG going crazy. They saying, who's the best guard on that team between the two?

It's Donovan, bro. Oh, it's Donovan. Okay. Darius Garland, Indiana kid, but Donovan Mitchell is the one on that team. How crazy would it be for them to start the All-Star game together? I mean, obviously, I know it takes a lot to get to that point, but that would be crazy if somehow they progress all the way through and they start an All-Star game together.

That would be fun. Well, if they keep going and kicking ass the way they are, you can't deny it. No, you can't. Hopefully, they go on a run where they win 15, 16 in a row. And then we start talking about, are they one of the best teams to ever start like this? I mean, obviously they are right now. But

what'd the Warriors go? Like... We'll have to check it out off him. They was close near the double. Like, they weren't in the 20s by that point, but I think they was... They was crazy. But they had multiple of those runs where they would just... It was 24? They start off 24-0? Jesus Christ.

I knew it was around the 20 mark, but that's... But then they had another insane run, too, after that. So, I don't know. That's a different team, though. 24-0 is crazy. It is crazy. But didn't y'all have, like, a whole month where y'all didn't lose a game, basically? Yeah, that was light shit. We went 18-0. That's tough.

Player of the month and shit like that. I was player of the month. Our team was. Our team was. They went as a unit. We did. So, who got that trophy at the crib? shit like that. I was player of the month? Our team was. Our team was? They went as a unit. We did. So who got that trophy at the crib? I got one. Okay.

I mean, I was player of the week during that week too, some of them weeks. Turn me up. Okay, we're looking at best starts in NBA history. The Warriors was 24-0. Obviously, they lost the finals.

The Rockets was 15-0 in 93-94. They won the Washington Capitals. Jesus Christ. Who the hell was born then? Yeah, that don't count, bro. Bill Russell. That was before Bill Russell, bro. He said it was born then.

Yeah, I don't know where they was playing them games at, boy. I'm sure it was some crazy fans in that. 0-2-0-3 in the past. They went 14-0. They definitely lost in the conference finals. But yeah, I mean, Cleveland's right there, almost in the top five. All they got to do is string together a couple more wins, but they got, they went 14-0. They definitely lost in the conference finals. But yeah, I mean, Cleveland's right there almost in the top five. All they got to do

is string together a couple more wins. But they got a couple tough games coming up. They got to play at Philly and the Celtics next week. Oh, 98 Hawks. Oh, 98 Hawks.

Look at my boy, Steve Smith. Okay, Steve. Was that Mookie Blaylock? I don't know who was on that team. I'm going to go with Mutombo.

R.I.P. Had to be. R.I.P. the legend. I know he was on that squad in 98. That's crazy, man. But listen, we got to keep showing love for the Cavs. They're handling business, and they're doing it the right way. The Bulls, we'll talk about them a little bit later,

but obviously I think that's going to be a team that they're going to have to just go ahead and… Yeah, go ahead and blow it up. Yeah, man. Let people fly, bro. Get in these sweepstakes, man. Yeah, go ahead and blow it up. Send Cooper Flag a shot rack. To Chicago.

I like Ace better in Chicago. You said what? I like Ace better in Chicago. Okay. I mean, they just drafted a kid that kind of similar to not Ace. He's not as good as Ace or Cooper. What's the dude named Matisse or something? Yeah, I know who you're talking about.

Yeah, signed with Reebok. I think Ace is just ready to— He signed with Reebok?. Yeah, signed with Reebok. I think Ace is just ready. He signed with Reebok? Yeah, he signed with Reebok. He's in league right now. Ace could have went to the league this year. Most definitely. If you get an opportunity to get him,

you don't worry about who in your roster. You make that play. Yeah, I mean, him and Cooper, they both NBA ready. They was ready. For sure, man. Shout out to the Cavs holding down. And B, back tonight, man.

First game against the Knicks, man. How y'all feel about this matchup? First time we get to see Embiid and PG together. Unfortunately, Maxie's still out. I want to see Embiid versus Cat. That's the matchup you're looking to see? Yeah. Yeah, I remember those days.

That's when Tua T called his first concussion. I ain't had no concussion. You see how a man handled Paul's Embiid. He grabbed Embiid and fell to the ground and hit his head. You crazy. I threw MB. Weight room. Wrote a clip, Luis.

I ain't gonna lie. I said, my nigga just grabbed one of the biggest people in the league. He playing crazy out there. I was. I don't know what I was thinking. He was like this. But the whole thing, I was laughing the whole time. I'm grabbing him like, calm down, bro.

Like, what you on? He like clapping. I'm laughing. Like, he comical, bro. I rock with Embiid, though. He funny. For sure, man. How do y'all expect this team to respond?

You know what I'm saying? First game back, PG obviously with him. What do y'all expect to see? I don't know if they get a dub and I guess a Knicks. They're looking for a win back. Well, both of them are. But what do y'all expect to see out of this team? I don't know if they get a dub and I guess the Knicks, they're looking for a win back. Well, both of them are, but what do y'all expect to see out of this team? I don't know. I just want to see

how him and PG mesh together. I wish Tyrese was there. I mean, they crashed my boy out, but I'm interested to see how them two figure it out tonight. It's a big game to figure it out, so I wish they was playing the Hawks or something, but...

A little tune-up game. Yeah, because I honestly think B might try to go at your boy. I think he's going to try to kill Cat. I think he's going to be on a minutes restriction because, I mean, he's probably going to play four or five minutes at a time. I don't think we're going to see much out of him. He's liable to kill still,

but I don't think we're going to see much. I think the Knicks are going to beat him. But I want to see PG be more assertive and more aggressive. I think PG needs to have one of them nights where he go for 30, 35. And B, he's going to do his thing. He probably still get 20 and 10 in limited action, but PG got to go off. He got to go crazy.

We can't be dependent on Jerry McCain, even though he's been hooping. Can't depend on him to be the third option on that team. Yeah, that's really interesting that you say that. I was just thinking about who they have available and how they should run. Obviously, a lot more open shots going to happen with them being back. But just the sets that they run, I know we got to see Tyrese back. But like you said, you got capable guards who can run offense. Let him get some.

But PG has to be ultra, ultra aggressive for this to work. Now for the Knicks, you know what I'm saying? They looking like they need to do what they need to do tonight, take care of business. I don't know. I don't know. They play that chemistry out, though. Yeah, they played well last night. I mean, when they played the Pacers, they scored the ball.

They probably got a guard, man. Yeah. They lost the game, right? Yeah. I'm off. I forgot. But, I mean, Pacers, every squirrel find a nut, every post. Third and the East respectively.

Hey, man. Third and the East. That was the weakest saying. Nah, it's supposed to be every blind squirrel can find a nut, but I ain't want to call them blind. I ain't want to do that because I ain't want to offend nobody. But every squirrel do that. Every squirrel, every Nick, it all every squirrel

every Nick it doesn't matter oh man that nigga's comical he butchered that I ain't butchered I was about to say a blind squirrel

can follow it up but I was about to be like damn I ain't wanna say that it is what it is bro every squirrel follow it up I be sure everybody gonna get a win

one day love who you wanna love the Knicks the Knicks gotta figure it out though, bro. They gotta figure it out. It's still early for them too, but they in more trouble

than the Sixers are. Let JB cook. That's what needs to happen. Let JB cook. Y'all were successful when y'all let JB cook. They gotta find some rhythm with

they two and three guard. Two and three. Like, Miles Bridges got to figure out his role on that team. And OG, he got to be a little more aggressive. You know what I mean?

Like, he played well against the Pacers, but that got to be a consistent thing. Yeah. They have a lot to figure out. You call me Miles Bridges, that was funny though.

Markel Bridges got to figure out. Markel, them Bridges. Both twins. Evil twins. Shout out to my rapper. I'm just calling him the rapper. My house of rapper.

They need a real two guard on that team. And that's what they probably should have kept. I mean, we've farped on there enough. We ain't going to go back on that point.

But they need a real two guard on that team. Trying to make a small 40 or two on that team. The spacing hasn't been the best. And again, the ball needs to be in J.B. Hens. Because they're successful

every time he gets to. Every time somebody else get going, they haven't been winning games. So, figure the ball needs to be in JB's hands. They're successful every time he gets it. Every time somebody else gets going, they haven't been winning games. So, figure it out. Get well soon. Thunder beat the Clippers

yesterday, 134-128. SGA career high, 45. He did something crazy yesterday. That's his career high, 45. I'm so shocked. He averaged 30. I wonder how many

above 30, between 30 and 40 point games he has. Because I agree, he's always above that mark. So for him to only have that is like career highs crazy. The average 30 and only have 45. That is your career highs crazy.

You consistent as hell. Elite. That's why I can't put Donovan above him, bro. The shit just different, bro. Shit different. Donovan been doing it longer. But for the time that Shea's been in the league compared to Donovan's time in the league

and that gap, Shea get my vote every time, bro. Donovan ain't never been in no MVP talks. He is right now. Wake up in the morning, hit my knees and I pray. You gave it to him, Shaq, but still.

Ain't nobody else gave it to him, though. They should have got MVP last year. I'm still on that way, too. Come on, man. I love Donovan, but I'm sleep, bro. Nah, he should have been MVP. That was my vote last year. Mm-hmm.

But who am I? I was just shaking that crash out for the game. Alec Grinsley, him and Donovan. Listen, man, they gave you a little help last night. I know, man. Some people sold. It was cool. Who sold?

We didn't get that. Yeah, we didn't get that. Good well sold. Cam Thomas. Cam Thomas sold. We here. Him having 17 pissed me off yesterday, bro. Good game, Cam.

How much did you need him to have? I think I needed him to have 30, bro. So we was 13 away. But you know, it's okay, bro. Everybody bound to have a bad game. We was 13 away. Best not to charge this money on a Monday. It's alright. I can't wait to win these parlays here, man. They're never gonna

hit. They're never gonna hit. We on drag kings every day until they hit, baby. Check out my parlays. I got the realest. What's the team parlays? Nah, I only bet in-game shit. Are you live betting?

Yeah. Okay. I can tell y'all who's going to make an assist to who first played the game. Because he's rigged. Check in with me. He got the script. I won 100 every time I did that. Don't worry about it.

Respect. While he was playing. Team Porter. Hey, if they didn't catch me, they caught him. While he was playing. T-Porter. Hey. They didn't catch me. They caught him. Wake up in the morning. Hit my knee.

That was before draft day. But, hey, if NCAA killers get in this season, y'all think he'd get an EVP? No. Nah. That's crazy. They don't want to give it to him, bro. I feel like that's not fair.

The shit he did last year is still to get it. But Yolk is. Come on, man. You ain't win last year. You ain't going to win this year, brother. It's pretty much over with. I haven't met you and Yoke. So what would he have to do to get MVP this year?

If they finish top one, two, three in the West, he averaged 30 plus again, like what has to happen for him to be in the circumstance? They would have to be one and two. Yoke is going to have to get hurt. Yeah. Damn. I see that too, though.

That's crazy. I don't want him to get hurt. They asked Yoke's coach last night, why are you playing him so much? He said, do you see his paycheck? Fuck out of here. Facts. Here we are.

I tried to vouch for you, Nasty. What would you do with $60 million a year? Who, me? I don't know what he's making. I'm just a lot of numbers. Yeah, $60 million. Well, we'll have a safe freak-off just to

get the party started. You know what I mean? A safe? What is a safe freak-off? I know this is a 520. This is a 520 event. Consent only. I got $60 million, so y'all can keep your phones in your hand. I don't even care.

You know, sometimes I've been to a party where you had to throw your phone in the bucket. Nah. Oh, you've been to those parties? Yeah, I've been to one. I'm not going to say. No, no, no. I didn't make it to the dealer. But I have been to one but I have been to one.

I have been to LA. Shout out to my dog, Neil James. We did go to one of those parties.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.

Shout Neil out, it's crazy. it wasn't like super super insane but it was up so the first it was up well it was after a couple drinks baby your head is crazy no but i'm gonna take care of the family of course you know i'll get my people straight after a couple drinks. Baby, your head is crazy. Nah, but I'm going to take care of the family, of course. You know, I get my people straight. If I get $60 million,

we're going to fuck around and be somewhere else at $520. But then we're going to celebrate it with the freak-off, though. I'm not going to the freak-off. Jeff's going to help me assist. No, I'm not. Pause. No, I'm not. No, I'm not.

I won't be at the party. Who's going to be the DJ? You. No, I'm not. Paul, no, I'm not. No, I'm not. I won't be at this party. Who going to be the DJ? You. No, I'm not. You're going to see the picture. Mike, the DJ, photographer. Oh, freaking Mike, the DJ. No, we need him on the camera. We're turning back into the linear.

Sierra, it's okay. We can talk about this tomorrow. We'll continue this tomorrow. Good, 520. Respect. So look what happened. We're talking about XJ getting MVP. We ain't getting tomorrow. Respect. We can talk about SJ getting MVP. He ain't get a max deal. It's going to be his last deal.

Shay, come to the party. It's going to be worth it, baby. That MVP feeling could never. Oh, man. Y'all are crazy. Wake up every morning, hit my knees and I pray that I hit the lottery.

All right, listen, man. OKC 92 right now, they're going to be without Chet for maybe about at least eight to ten weeks. What does the team need to do to stay going forward, man? I don't know. They got to figure it out, bro. They got to get Hardenstein back. So he should be back in a couple of weeks, right? Uh-huh.

I'll get him and get him adjusted to everything going on at OKC. They still got enough talented pieces to be winning games. Obviously, you see what Shea did last night. But he going to have to go into MVP form like he did last year and start killing. Obviously, he started with this 45-point game, but he going to need a lot more of those. And Hardenstein coming back.

Hardenstein, I heard everyone say his name when he come back. He going to feel the little boy not having shit. For sure. And the only reason I asked about the MVP in closing is because if he carries him without Chet like it's gotta be more respect

because obviously I mean they gave him a lot of respect for being very very good last year but if he carries his team bro with virtually no relative help

or another potential all-star for a long time bro they gotta show him some love bro yeah I mean if they stay top two top three in the east I mean west

I think he'll get that I think so most definitely keeping it in the East, I mean West, I think you'll get that. I think so. Most definitely. Keeping it in the West yesterday, Kings versus Spurs, man. Spurs got the win, 116-96. Wimby had 34 yesterday. He woke up. It hit six threes.

He woke up. That's crazy, bro. I think he's been struggling this year. Yeah. He needed a game like this. He woke up. Definitely. Hey, man.

The way that he plays basketball is so crazy because what other player you know can get you six blocks and six threes, bro? Like, it's just unreal. Like, he ain't even really figured it all the way out yet. And when he does, bro, it's going to get spooky, bro. I kind of think he's figured it out. He's just having a little rough start to the season.

Like, you can see it in the Olympics last year or this or this year i mean he was doing his thing bro he ready to you know turn the corner for sure but the team's so sad bro it's hard bro maybe he just tired of playing with these i was about to say it because we don't know his personality for real and i think he's like i think he a winner for real you know know what I'm saying? So it's probably a major adjustment for him coming to play with a Pittsburgh team like that, bro.

He competitive as hell. You can tell for sure. Yeah. I mean, the way he talk and the way he shows on the court that he wants to win. He's super competitive

like you said, but moments like this is what we expect from him. Six blocks, six threes. He's like got an unreal talent. His length, his size, his paws, that's nuts. Six blocks, six threes. He's got an unreal talent. His length, his size, his pose, that's nuts. I don't know.

That was crazy. But the alien that he is, unicorn, whatever you want to call it, is unbelievable, bro. Yeah, the crazy part about it is it's cool that he ain't playing with nobody that he really cares about right now, so bro, run it up, bro.

Go crazy. So then when you get with all the talents you need to win, bro, they're going to instantly go into championship mode, bro. But he definitely going through a little bit of a sophomore slump, but damn, that roster got to get better, bro. Go crazy. So then when you get with all the talents you need to win, bro, they're going to instantly go into championship mode, bro. But he definitely going through a little bit of a sophomore slump. But damn, that roster got to get better, man. They all win be something, bro.

I mean, you got to, I'm not saying here rookie duties, but you got to go through the storm a little bit. But I think if they don't get no pieces around him soon, he'll be asking to leave, bro. Nah. He don't have a choice. I'm going to say the unfortunate part about Wimby is he will be in San Antonio for another five years for sure.

Why? Max, everything. He got two more years. He's going to be there for another seven at least. Yeah. He's getting the max good for sure. He's getting eight years out of that, man. I mean, but he don't have to stay, though. No, no, he don't have to sign that if he

don't want to. He's going to turn down two years. He's going to be a restrictor. He's going to be a restrictor. If you're restricted, they can match it. You can't. He's not leaving. They're not giving him a chance to. He's going to get every penny sent in the world from that team. I hope so.

You know how it goes. You sign that rookie extension, and then you ask for trade. He's going to sign that. Smile. Be happy. He ain't ever getting traded. They're going to bring some pieces in there. They're going to get another nice draft piece. They already got Stephon Cass. He's going to sign that. Smile, be happy. He ain't ever getting traded. They're going to bring some pieces in there. They're going to get another nice draft piece.

They already got Stephon Cass. He's going to be a good player. They're going to get one more piece. He's going to build. Yeah, they're going to build off of that. He's nice. Yeah, they will move that team before they let Wim be. They ain't not bullshitting, bro.

They showing up on market, bro. That's a market that love basketball. I mean, we don't like the Spurs that much because they're a little bit boring, but they got a tradition of history. They fans spend that paper. They ain't letting that go down. I mean, we don't like the Spurs that much because they're a little bit boring, but they got a tradition of history. They fans spend that paper. They ain't letting that go down. That's crazy.

Get 100. We got to score 100 tonight. Damn, I just want to – man, we need a college high. I want to make sure his head is in the right place man it is he getting paid and that's what Mike Muller said about Yoko

he said about Chauncey bless you but I mean I think he that's hard bro that has to be a hard job bro well I always wonder this and I mean even I can ask you this

as a coach like when you are used to winning or having successful situations when you go into another situation where it's like alright I got to teach y'all how to be good but it's like not resonating for a while how's that feeling because you so used to things going away and you know how you would play in those moments

how's it related and try to translate that to victory for like your teammates that's the hardest thing to do to try to get somebody to tap into something you truly believe in I think you see a lot of potential in somebody to try to get somebody to tap into something you truly believe in. I think you see a lot of potential in somebody and trying to be able to get that out of them is kind of tough. So especially if you played at a high level, that's the hardest thing to try to remove yourself from it. And then just try to coach what you can coach.

And coaching that team, you probably got to remove all his habits that he did. He tried to remove them from himself and try to like embrace everything they're going through. Most definitely. And it's got to be frustrating because like

Chauncey was a champion. Chauncey was a successful basketball player. Great habits, great player. The way he played was the right way. He probably like,

I'm seeing y'all bullshit, y'all day-to-day. I ain't trying to mess up y'all life, but I got the recipe what works and what y'all doing don't work,

but you can't, like you said, you can't infringe too much. And honestly, it's a player's league. Like, even like from high school, you can coach as much as you want to do. When a player get on the court, players going to do whatever they want. I can tell you this, this, this, this, this. Like, make this happen.

Do this. This read right here. When they get on the court, all hell can break loose. And they can do whatever they want. They can stop listening. You take them out. You got to sub somebody else in, and they can do whatever they want. They can stop listening. You take them out, you got to sub somebody else in and they might do something else.

So you got to have like a lot of discipline with the group. And you know, that's a young group you got over there. They all still trying to learn how to play and develop to be good players. And they all trying to get paid. So when you got a bunch of young dudes

trying to get paid, they worrying about their stats and what they could do. And that's the same thing about coaching a high school team or a college team. They all trying to get somewhere. They trying to get a scholarship or make it to the NBA. So you got to find the right kind of guys that fit what you want to do. But Chauncey didn't get a chance to pick his team, though.

He definitely didn't. And I got to ask this. It's probably an unfair question. Even if you look around with the NFL and stuff, with Mike McCarthy getting a lot of blame and stuff for the Cowboys sucking. Can you blame the coach for lack of discipline, even though you can tell the coach is doing the best he can to set a coach or they're just not buying in? Like, is that a flack more on the coach or is it a flack more on the environment or the situation that the organization is like, let go? You got to put it on the coach though because you can set how you want.

You can set the standard. This is what we do. You might take a hit with some of the top players or the people who might not want to buy in but you're just going to

take that hit. You might have to sit them down but you can't do that in the NFL. People make too much money but like on a smaller scale like a high school

or a college you might have to set an example like alright he ain't buying in we're going to have to go on a different route and it starts with management though more on professional sports you might have to set an example like alright he ain't buying in we're going to have to go on a different route and

it starts with management though more professional sports like if the upper management is rolling with the head coach then you can you can establish a coach

like Pat Riley and Eric Sposher they're on the same page so the head coach is going to be a thing like the Bucks I don't know

you can tell so the owners and the GM and the coaches they all got something else going on. You can tell the owners and the GM and the coaches, they all got something else going on. So you can tell though. That's interesting, man. Get well soon, Chon.
