WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.360 This is a downbeat on ninety seven to one, the Freakinderella coadd of one 2 00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:22.320 time. Okay, so wow. We like to evolve topics on the downbeat 3 00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:27.120 every day. And we spent a few moments earlier discussing a massive liquid heroin 4 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:32.799 bust in one and a half tons worth of liquid heroin that happened in a 5 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:39.119 big old federal drug sting up in Oregon and Washington State. I think we 6 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:43.079 put the call out earlier. It's like, man, if you have done 7 00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.000 heroin in the last forty eight hours, please call in or maybe in the 8 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.759 last you know, forty eight months. Who knows? And I believe JJ 9 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:54.399 says, we've got somebody on the phone right now that might can speak to 10 00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:00.320 with the via personal experience to this matter. Is that correct? Yes? 11 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:07.319 Hello, how do we got? Hello? Hello? Hey man? What's 12 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:14.519 your name? My name is Brandon. I'm doing all right. I'm doing 13 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.319 all right. I'm actually I'm not in the forty eight months you know category. 14 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.560 But I'm a recovering addict, always will be. And I used to 15 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.760 used to use about ten years ago as heroin, but three years ago was 16 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:32.640 mess. So I've kind of gone through the ringer on both ends, and 17 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.000 yeah it sucks. It's a huge thing in the area. Let me ask 18 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.959 you this real quick. So this report was about liquid heroin. We're idiots 19 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.840 self, admittedly, what do they do? You know what they're they're talking 20 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.680 about? When it's described as liquid heroin. I've always seen it, you 21 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:55.480 know, depicted in television with either a powder or some kind of like black 22 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.560 tar type of thing that's in an aluminum foil. You heat it up, 23 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.120 you smoke it, you melt it down, you shoot it. What's the 24 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:06.719 deal with liquid heroin? Do you know anything about that? So basically it 25 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.680 starts out, you grind it down into a paste or a powder, more 26 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:15.759 pure stuff is usually more like a paste from like Mexico, and then basically 27 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:21.080 they break it down into its more potent parts into the liquid form, and 28 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.879 then that way so somebody can add the additives to it like they do with 29 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.719 mess with spentanyl and all that. They send it to somebody and they break 30 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:35.520 it. They mass produce it into even more amounts of what you would call 31 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:40.840 black tar heroin or this regular street heroin. Basically they triple quadruple the amount 32 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:45.639 of that liquid heroin. So when you get this liquid heroin that say, 33 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.360 you know from this drug bus, is it like ready to go, You 34 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.759 load up your syringe and you're good to go, or does it need to 35 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.039 be diluted with some other type of solution. It really depends on how big 36 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.039 of a party animal you are. To be honest, well, I'm a 37 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.719 massive party animal. I don't know. If you listen to the station. 38 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.599 If you have years of being able to get your body used to the poison 39 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:07.520 going in, you can do a lot of nuts things. But if it 40 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:12.039 was just you going off the road and using one of your first time, 41 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:17.080 you basically immediately overdose, like it's just so pure. So when you were 42 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:23.360 doing absolutely pure heroin regularly and you wanted to get acquire the heroin for a 43 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:28.400 weekend of partying, what does that cost you? And I guess how much 44 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:34.120 do you get in a Luckily this is ten twelve years ago. I actually 45 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.240 used to run it in Dallas. I would run it for people from from 46 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:45.199 trap houses. I was I was the only person with a vehicle and so 47 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.159 I was the one who would take it to the get it, take it 48 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.759 into the apartments and all that kind of stuff, and be in the apartments 49 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.800 with people with guns and all that kind of stuff, and they'd be buying 50 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.000 either twenty capsules because people basically buy pill capsules, empty them out, and 51 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:02.080 then refill them with paramount experiences in that way. How long was your addiction 52 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:10.719 to to to heroin specifically about a year? About a year, so you 53 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.680 would you and when you did take it regularly for that year, you were 54 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:18.240 shooting in your arm. I did on occasion. That wasn't my main use. 55 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:24.319 I usually snorted it, okay, And is it is it moretent if 56 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.480 you shoot it directly into the bloodstream? Oh yeah, oh a dozen times 57 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:34.519 easily, like way, way more potent. It be like the difference between 58 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:40.560 o'duels and with heat. Damn. So, so why wouldn't you just shoot 59 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.199 I'm sorry, but why wouldn't you just shoot it all the time? Because 60 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.120 it kills you. I mean it's slowly. You can feel it burning your 61 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.319 veins on the inside of your body. If you don't get a correct mixture 62 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:56.120 like it is, it hurts. It's not it's not always an apusics experience. 63 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.959 Like there's people who miss and then they have to get their arm removed 64 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.800 because they've gotten infection, and infection in their blood that makes their arms swell 65 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:12.600 up to look like Popeye. It gets very bad, very quick. But 66 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:18.639 it's so I don't want to say great, but obviously I mean I have 67 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:26.480 I have done everything under the sun besides medical prescribed you know, addictions. 68 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.600 I don't. I don't. I've never had a pill addiction, and I'm 69 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:34.040 luckily I've been clean and sober fully for three years. But uh so, 70 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:41.600 it's it's never worth it. Would you say that when you were using heroin 71 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.319 for the for the year. Is it one of those things where you have 72 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.959 to have it to function like You've got to be pretty much in some form 73 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:55.519 of of heroin buzz the entire time you're awake. So the different the difference 74 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.199 between it like it. That's also a dependence of how long you've been doing 75 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.480 it. For For me, for the year, it was more of what 76 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:10.560 you did to not do anything, because once you once that's it is so 77 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.000 much of a downer if you if you do it on a regular basis that 78 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:19.040 you're basically like a sleep walking like you're almost like in a coma, walking 79 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:24.639 around like you nothing, nothing you can do is right. If you want 80 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.240 to go get something to eat at a restaurant. Don't go do it while 81 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.040 you're while you're high, because you're never going to actually make it to the 82 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:35.000 restaurant usually unless you have a buddy who's sober taking you. All right, 83 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:40.160 I could whip you one hundred questions, but when you when you stopped, 84 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.920 was it cold turkey? And then how'd that all go? It had to 85 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:47.199 be. Uh. The house I was staying at got busted while I wasn't 86 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:53.720 there, and I had to just stay with a friend or he was a 87 00:06:53.720 --> 00:07:00.360 friend in high school, and basically that was when I switched to me because 88 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.040 he didn't have arolin and I couldn't find it, and so I had to 89 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.920 basically go off with heroine cold turkey. He took care of me and then 90 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.120 got me on the mesamphetamines, and then I got into a giant head on 91 00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:19.279 collision on Preston between Friscoe and prosper and Eldorado, got careflighted and woke up 92 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:23.680 in the hospital a day later with my family around me, and they took 93 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:30.040 me home and I was cold turkey from there. I unfortunately relapsed four years 94 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:34.480 ago for a year, but I'm good now. Did you ever get in 95 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.160 the system, I mean so this, did you ever get arrested? I 96 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:44.360 never. I never got arrested for possession or for using or anything like that. 97 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.079 I got tickets for a marijuana pipe while I was using one time. 98 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.480 They found it in my vehicle one time, and it literally was not mine, 99 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.240 like I would admit I was using at that time, and it was 100 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:59.480 not mine. One of my buddies had accidentally left his box the goodies underneath 101 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.240 my seat my truck, and I got pulled over because I would fallen asleep 102 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:09.800 at the wheel and ran a curb in a curb Jesus and I got pulled 103 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.199 over. They did a sobriety test on me, deemed that I was definitely 104 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:20.319 intoxicated in a way which I was, and was driving without insurance, no 105 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.120 license and the rent and it was a stolen vehicle that I had just bought 106 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.879 that I didn't know it was stolen, and the registration was out wheels off. 107 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.759 Yeah, but three or sober? Right? Yeah? All right brother, 108 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.799 that way, Yeah, of course of course inside. Yeah, man, 109 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.080 that's crazy. Yeah, you know, it's cooler than drug use. 110 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.600 Listening to the downbeat on ninety seven in the Freak every day I get take 111 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.759 it to me all I've got to take it to me off like three different 112 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.879 times. Now there you go. All right, we're gonna let you go. 113 00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.799 Thank you so much. Interesting, have a wonderful days. There you 114 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.320 go. How about that evolve the topic Mikey. I was going to offer 115 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.840 him tickets to see Australian Pink Floyd, but he I think that might make 116 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.919 him relapse. Yeah, yeah, I think that thought better. He runs 117 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:15.480 out of the arena during Comfortably Numb? Is there? Just is? It 118 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.799 got wild graphics at the Crocodile Hunter. It's interesting that we went on in. 119 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.799 Yeah. See, we learn, we learn together, we learn, 120 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:28.440 we learn as a family. Yeah. So MAVs have three games this week, 121 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.320 in the week proper because they played tonight. They played at six pre 122 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.799 game five thirty here on the Freak. They're in Philadelphia to take on the 123 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.840 seventy six ers, who are gonna be without Joel Embiid. Kyrie's probable, 124 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.679 so a good chance you get him back. No Lively, no excell to 125 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.639 night. Maxie and Luca are questionable. The MAVs also play tomorrow night. 126 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.679 So it does feel like in a situation where Luca may not do the back 127 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.759 to back, but he also might. The Mavericks have lost seven out of 128 00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:00.879 their last ten. Thursday is the trade deadline. This is the most important 129 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.840 week of the year for the Dallas Mavericks. It will tell them a lot. 130 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.200 Now. They can't do much in the trade on the trade market without 131 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.120 including players because the only first round pick they have available to trade is the 132 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.279 twenty twenty seven first rounder, which a team might take. But they don't 133 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.559 have first round picks for the next couple of years. But they do make 134 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.120 trades at deadlines. We've seen it here. We've seen it twice with Nico 135 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.639 with and Kyrie being the big one obviously. Brad Townsend wrote the Dallas Wanting 136 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.480 News some names PJ. Washington, Kyle Kuzma, Daniel Gafford, Miles Bridges. 137 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.000 She had some names out there from Charlotte and Washington that might make a 138 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.000 little bit of sense and might take a player back. There's been a little 139 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.279 talk about Dory and Finney Smith as well, but Brooklyn's been asking for a 140 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.159 ton for him, so I don't know if that's gonna work. But the 141 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.159 Mavericks have. They got to get Luca and Kyrie playing together. Clearly, 142 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:58.600 we all know that it's good news that Kyrie is probable tonight. But this 143 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.039 week is gonna determine a lot about what they do, I think, because 144 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.039 Thursday's the trade deadline, and I think it's very clear they have to do 145 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.399 something. Yeah, they've lost six of eight and they just look, it's 146 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.799 been a month since they basically won a game big Yeah. I mean even 147 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.679 their wins are two points, four points eked out kind of victories. So 148 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.080 I'm curious. I will say it's fun to be a MAVs fan in that 149 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.879 at least there's been big deals the last few years, whether they be off 150 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.399 season or trade deadline. I mean they've they certainly aren't scared to make make 151 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.279 moves and show Luca that they're willing to make moves. So it's happened. 152 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.600 But there's been a bunch of news on this team that I feel like I've 153 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.639 been dangled trade bait for a few years now. So I mean, I 154 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.000 think if you can pull the trigger, it's Thursday, what's on Thursday after 155 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.320 Thursday, I'm not a short time, Okay, find the time. What's 156 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:54.039 the strategy though, in making a move if you don't have any if you 157 00:11:54.080 --> 00:12:00.200 can't get your existing players on the floor because everybody's hurt all the time. 158 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.120 Well, Kyrie has heard all the time and hopefully comes back, and we 159 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:09.840 just got Maxi, but back after always seems like an extended amount of downtime. 160 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.120 He's always questionable. Yeah, he was great the other night, knocking 161 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:18.039 down threes. Traded on two pm Thursday afternoon Exam, who you know, 162 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.159 was proving to be seemingly a pretty integral component of this team. You haven't 163 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.879 seen him much, so it's like, what do you do? You know? 164 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:30.399 Are you? Are you? What are you trading for to replace guys 165 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:35.720 that that are playing that have been healthy with with better or just different people 166 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.120 and just nurse this thing along until everybody is healthy. I don't know. 167 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.879 To me, it's just impossible to have any read on this team when every 168 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.440 night it's oh, well this guy's sitting out or we don't want to play, 169 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.679 you know, Kyrie or Luca in a back to back and maybe Max 170 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.720 he's coming back. I don't know. Just so many injury questions that I 171 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.159 don't know what the point is really of, unless it's just an obvious they 172 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:03.919 just need practice help basically. Yeah, like we're two guard heavy guard dependent 173 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.799 and if you count I mean, you know, even Josh Green or JANEA. 174 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.399 Hardy, like those are the kind of pieces that might have value somewhere 175 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:16.000 else. And we can thin out the guards a little bit and get something 176 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.440 in the front court. Because if Derek Lively is really your only weapon, 177 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:22.320 the thing that you can count on, he is so young and we're getting 178 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.799 more out of him than we probably should have this early in his career. 179 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.360 I mean, that's the real wide viewpoint is I think, turn some of 180 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.159 that backcourt into front court help, and like, look, Luca's gotten better 181 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.399 and the team has gotten worse because he's had no help. And I don't 182 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.360 know, he's new here, and you like to give him time to sort 183 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:46.440 it out. Is Grant Williams someone someone might want, you know, I 184 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.080 don't know. I mean just dangling out names here because it worked so far. 185 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.919 And Luca's playing forty minutes a night, dragging the team up and down 186 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:58.000 the court, and it is can't last like that. Gotta get Kyrie back. 187 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.200 Hopefully he plays tonight. We'll see where Luka goes. Now. I 188 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.679 was out at a fancy dinner Saturday and got in the car. I was 189 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.960 like, oh my god, they blew a twenty five point lead. What 190 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.840 Yeah, why I was at the game, Kevin, No way, I 191 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.360 was at the game, Danny, Mikey, you had tickets. I had 192 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.720 tickets, and I wasn't just at the game. I did something that I 193 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.159 have never done in my life. Nosebleed, Mikey got to sit where normally 194 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:30.879 courtside cash does. That's exactly right. Uh So for the second half of 195 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.440 the game against the Bucks on Saturday night, Christina and I sat in a 196 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:41.000 row one a whoa the very front row at at alas Mavericks game, across 197 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.720 from the scores table or on the side. Oh no, we were on 198 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:52.320 the on the baseline, so we're basically where Cuban sits, Okay, directly 199 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.519 Caddy corner from that, Okay, like the kind of the flank area of 200 00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:03.120 the baseline. Yeah. I had a ma a man with a little mop 201 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.320 sitting in front of me who would run out there and mop up the sweat 202 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.840 every time the team ran to the other side of the floor. If someone 203 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.120 urinates on the court, yeah, I would imagine they're gonna ahead and get 204 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.360 that. Probably call a time out if it's a full urination. Yuck, 205 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:22.080 banging official time out there how'd you acquire these seats? Our friend Bob Rigotta, 206 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.080 who is the CEO of Jacobs, which is a very large company in 207 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.679 town here, they have a suite and I didn't I didn't even know they 208 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.039 had these seats, but we got to their suite. He's such a sweetheart, 209 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.720 a great friend of a friend of all of ours. He invited us 210 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.720 to their suite and watched the freight. When the game started, he said, 211 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.399 all right, me and Cash are gonna go down, and then you 212 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:43.320 guys can go down in the second half. I'm like, ah, yes, 213 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:48.279 good going down. I didn't know what that meant, but I waited 214 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.440 for them to pop out of the tunnel. They pop out of the same 215 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.240 tunnel the maps run out of, and then I watch them and they keep 216 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:58.440 going and then they sit front damn Morell and I'm like, oh, we're 217 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.240 going down. I wish that i'd have known. I would have looked for 218 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.960 you. All right, what did you text me? Oh? Yeah, 219 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.240 I don't know why. I didn't know until they sat in the seats, 220 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.519 and I'm like, oh my god, did you not bring your phone to 221 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:15.080 the floor, Yeah, to take some pics. He wasn't thinking about appeasing 222 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.120 Danny. That's not what his goal was. I'm not a look at me 223 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.679 guy, Danny. If it's just me looking at you, that that's fine. 224 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.799 I didn't take any pics. You tell your selfies, dude. I 225 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:27.440 took a picture of Christina and I because she asked, and the game's going 226 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:32.279 on in the background pretty much. Yeah, And then she tweeted it out. 227 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:40.559 Did did you cram it? Yeah? Yeah, that was my question. 228 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:45.320 So Mikey bro after the game, did you cram it? That is 229 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.519 what? Did you gram it? Insta Graham? Did you post your little 230 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:55.039 picture of you and your sweet girlfriend? One of the greatest misunderstandings and radios 231 00:16:55.080 --> 00:17:00.120 and Norm and Bassett were working together and they were talking about late nights or 232 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.880 whatever in the as a player in the clubhouse in Arizona, and Norm asked 233 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:11.440 basic, did you see down? And Bassik heard it very differently, did 234 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.200 you see Dong? Did I see Dong? Told me about the Dong pound, 235 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.839 So I'm not answering if I crammed it or not. She may have 236 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.759 instagrammed it. Yes, she did take some video of Yanna's scoring and then 237 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.160 like my she clicked over to me. It was unbelievable. It was whatever 238 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:32.079 you dream of or think of. It was that damn good. It is 239 00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:33.720 a whole different thing. I mean, you could see the game better from 240 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.680 the suite, or from the seats or any hell in the three hundred section. 241 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:40.400 You can probably see the game itself, bet well, in a different 242 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:45.359 way. I've never sat that close, and I mean you I told Christina, 243 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.640 we sat down like head on a swivel. Yannis may run full speed 244 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:53.160 and steam into you, you know, like just a reminder like stay, 245 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:59.680 yeah, exactly, do I get your little makeup mirror open and fixing some 246 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.839 can see me. What are you doing? You might get your nose broken 247 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.240 tonight. She ready, she did. We'd had some drinks in the suite, 248 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:10.599 so she was in a good way. And she did mention just being 249 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:15.480 that close to Maxie like three times, I'm okay enough, Luca yan like, 250 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:18.599 hell, he's doing the same time. He's right in front of you, 251 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.440 and she's staring at Maxie the whole time. And the third time she 252 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.279 mentioned it, the Bucks were shooting a free throw, so the other guys 253 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:27.400 are kind of lined up and Maxie is like bent over at the waist with 254 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:33.839 this firm apple bottom sticking out and she's like, man, Maxi's right there. 255 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.200 I'm like, stop looking at his can. It's five feet away from 256 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:42.240 Penis. She's looking at Maxie's bud. He's just making the call me sign. 257 00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:47.559 Yeah. He turns around and does the call me at her. It 258 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:51.720 was incredible for the reason you would guess, being that close to Yannis. 259 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:53.519 They were the Bucks were scoring our direction that time, and they scored a 260 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.039 plenty, and see Yanna just freight train his way. He scored forty eight 261 00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:00.359 in the game, just to see him freight train his way to the bucket 262 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.200 and no one can stop him. And I imagine on TV it was quite 263 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:07.759 obvious that no one can stop the Bucks, but stopping Giannis is a different 264 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:10.200 story. And hell, Luca was matched up with the one I want a 265 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.680 couple of times, and it was a straight drive. By what it was 266 00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:18.720 different about that perspective than maybe watching it, you know thirty hearing things, 267 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.000 yes, hearing them talk to each other, calling out switches, bitching at 268 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.480 referee, seeing Luca do the referee bitch. And granted again we're on the 269 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.160 buck side, so you know, Luca was doing most of his bitching on 270 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:30.880 the other side. When he thought he got foul. But just to hear 271 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:34.640 them, to see their faces when they give up a bucket and know that 272 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:38.720 they could have done better or defended better or slump shoulder is happening again. 273 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:45.079 Communication with the refs, the ref's communication to the players. It really really 274 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:51.839 cool to see size. They look so huge, unbelievable to speed size. 275 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.119 Yes, the speed and size, The fact that these are damn near three 276 00:19:55.200 --> 00:20:00.920 hundred pound men running bull ass speed on a hardwood floor out into each other. 277 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.400 You see now when you get that close. The amount of contact that 278 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.319 Luca or any of those guys take on any given play. Yes, they're 279 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.519 beating the absolute thunder out of each other. More violent than you even can 280 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.799 acknowledge. Like Powell got rammed once and he was holding his back and then 281 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.039 it's like, no, you're not even going to the sideline. Like they're 282 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:21.599 not faking it. No one's being dramatic. I mean, Luca might have 283 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.079 elements of drama, sure, and there is embellishment that certainly helps you to 284 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:30.519 call sometimes, but these dudes are getting destroyed on most plays and to see 285 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.240 them just kind of God. I just took a knee to the thigh. 286 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.240 Oh, it doesn't matter. The next play has already started. Were there 287 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.839 when Yannis kicked Luca in the stomach or was that the first half? I 288 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.000 think that was first half because I remember watching that on the screen more than 289 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:51.000 I more than watching it. But to see like Damian Lillard who is controlling 290 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:52.400 the ball and he gets to the top of the key or kind of to 291 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.240 one of the corners, and his eyes are kind of really wide, and 292 00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.920 see what he's looking at. Man, you never see this stuff from another 293 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:06.400 angle, and just just the chaos between him and the basket and knowing the 294 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.880 simplicity of the game is we need to work together to figureut how to get 295 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.599 this in that and to see him trying to instantly decode what's in front of 296 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.480 him and decide whether to drive, and then you do drive, the help 297 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.000 shows up. I'm describing basketball, I understand, but to see it that 298 00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:23.240 close is really a cool perspective. Another thing, doesn't the court feel too 299 00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:29.559 small for them? Like there's like the court should be bigger considering how big 300 00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.559 these dudes. Yeah, the size was amazing. Just I couldn't take my 301 00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:36.039 eyes off Yon. It's just just how like buff his shoulders are and how 302 00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:41.079 gigantic he is, and even Luca lucas another thing. I thought, the 303 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.480 idiots who are like Luca's fat, like they're all so lean. Yeah, 304 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:48.559 and Luca is like slightly less lean than this different body tie, right. 305 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:53.240 But I remember being in the locker room in the playoff years and and the 306 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:57.559 playoff years, well the championships, and I had a moment where I was 307 00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:02.039 just standing behind Tyson chan Or He's getting dressed, and I swear the waist 308 00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:06.200 was so small. He's so lean, but he's just a giant of a 309 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:11.759 dude. Luca is so damn fit. It's so stupid for us in from 310 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:18.240 a microphone, Kevin, I got to do it one time years ago with 311 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.960 Mike Reiner and the traveling teams. Radio didn't come with the team, so 312 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:27.720 there were two open slots and Followell hooked us up with scorers table seats, 313 00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:32.759 and we sat at the damn scorers table for the entirety of this game. 314 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:36.079 And I can't remember who we were playing, but it was one of whoever 315 00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.240 it was. Earl Boykins was on the team. Okay, okay, So 316 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.640 Jason Terry is having one of his streaky jet knights where he probably went off 317 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:47.640 for like thirty nine. You know, those happened a lot, and it 318 00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:51.640 was later in the game and the other team had kind of just like the 319 00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:55.559 wave the white flag. Terry was still going bananas. And Boykins comes in 320 00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:57.200 to check in, and we were right at the at the place where players 321 00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:00.799 had to come in and and and you know, check in and kneel down 322 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.200 or whatever. So you're kind of like, if there's somebody waiting to sub 323 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:06.279 in, you're kind of having to look around him a little bit because they're 324 00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:10.640 right there. And Earl Boykin's work walks up somewhere late in the third quarter 325 00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:14.000 and goes to check in and looks at me and Mike and he goes, 326 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:17.839 now, I gotta go in and guard him. Really yeah, right, 327 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:21.839 Okay, there's a lot of fan communication I don't have as Bobby Portois, 328 00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:26.640 no, somebody that some fans were just kind of riding and that player got 329 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:30.720 it was it wasn't by the ports And he just kept looking at him, 330 00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.599 winking at him. When he was leaning over at the free throw line not 331 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.920 shooting. He would kind of look up and listen and then no, it 332 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:41.839 was no, but it was cool just to see that. When they left 333 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.559 the floor. The MAVs lost again and they were They walked out right next 334 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:47.920 to us. On my Christina, go try to get high fives, you 335 00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:49.279 know whatever. They'll still do a sad high five on their way out. 336 00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:52.599 I mean maybe else there's no other sport where you can get that close to 337 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.599 that type of actions. Maybe you shouldn't. Yeah, but she told Lucas 338 00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.200 she loved him. He didn't, he didn't really act. She told Mark 339 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:07.039 she loved Cuban and he Frankenstein walked right past us. She told Maxie happy 340 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.920 belated birthday because she knew from the Today game his birthday. I'm like, 341 00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.319 did you really? Her telling Luca that she loved him was just a distraction 342 00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:21.079 so she could receive the air drop contact from Maxie's phone, and then they 343 00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:26.519 tapped phones as they Butyrie was cool because he was not dressed out obviously, 344 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:29.200 and he hugged his daughters. Really yeah, his daughter was there. I 345 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:32.880 don't know if it's a wife, girlfriend, someone else. And she got 346 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:34.799 a high five from Kyrie as he was walking ice. It was amazing. 347 00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:37.559 Man, It's a once in a lifetime thing. Yeah, I'll never do 348 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.119 it again, but it was so cool when I got to we hat tax 349 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.000 from someone. I think he was right there. I said, I was 350 00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.599 maybe a few rows but away from Mikey. It was weird because the cameraman 351 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.240 was facing k Ray, but as soon as she popped on screen, Mikey 352 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.680 shoulder tackled her and jumped in the camera shot wearing his Dallas Observer T shirt, 353 00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:57.880 which I do wear every day. That I elbow her out of the 354 00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:06.839 way, pushing the shirt up to the you're ironing it, ironing myke Dallas 355 00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:08.920 deservery shirt. Well, thanks our buddy, Bob, And uh yeah, 356 00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:14.400 they collapse again and they're up twenty five and you end up getting smoked. 357 00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:18.640 It's so frustrating. And all week leading up to Thursday's trade deadline, we'll 358 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.160 certainly be touching on things they need to do, absolutely and cutting a game 359 00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:25.559 tonight at six here on the Freak pregame at five point thirty.
