1 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,199 Welcome into a special edition of Clips and Dip. I'm Adam Oslin. We 2 00:00:11,279 --> 00:00:16,640 got Charles Mochler, Will Up Dick is here and your iconic voice for your 3 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,640 Los Angeles Clippers. He's got pipes in his throat more golden than the Larry 4 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,320 O. B It is Brian Seaman joining us. Brian, what's good. 5 00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:29,239 How's your off season been? It's been good. It's good to see everybody 6 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,000 here. I've tried to keep up from Afar with Clips and Dips, so 7 00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,520 I appreciate what you guys do here during the off season, and I'm happy 8 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,520 to be joining you. I think this is my first time on here. 9 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,399 If I'm not mistaken. We waited in Adam's never asked me. I kept 10 00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:44,840 asking him like can I come on? And He's just like, we got 11 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:50,880 you know, we got some other people from this week. We never never 12 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,479 Please come on next week too, Brian. So let's catch up on lost 13 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,880 time here. Speaking to that, you know, there's been a lot of 14 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,520 negativity about last season with Clippers Nation. It was a tough one to watch 15 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,599 because of the expectations going into it. A lot of said maybe it's the 16 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:11,120 most disappointing season in Clipper's history relative to those expectations, you could say, 17 00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:15,000 but just kind of summarize the season and your thoughts on it, as we've 18 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,280 been doing this autopsy now for a few months here. I mean, I 19 00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:21,359 went into the season thinking that this was going to be a team that could 20 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,680 possibly win sixty games, even with the big boys taking nights off the roster 21 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,280 top to bottom. I loved it. I thought they were going to be 22 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,680 ready to go. I thought that the injury year give guys like Terrence Man 23 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,400 a little bit of more ownership coming into this year. And just I was 24 00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:41,200 so hyped up, and I was telling people privately, you know, I'd 25 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,239 be like, this is it. If we don't win at all, something 26 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:45,799 terrible has happened. I'll tell you that right now. It's what I kept 27 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,640 saying. And my wife's side of the family, they're not into sports all 28 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,799 that much, but I kept telling Mike, well, we're going to win 29 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,120 it all, There's no question about it. And so I think at one 30 00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:56,519 point in time, we're barely five hundreds, Like, how's it looking, 31 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,319 I'm like, yeah, you know it is. It's going there. We'll 32 00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:04,480 see how it all goes. But I was disappointed too, and I've mentioned 33 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,319 this before. I just thought the competitive integrity was not there every night, 34 00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:12,240 and it needs to be there. I love the regular season. I'm a 35 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,800 believer that it creates habits. I'm a believer that it creates a mentality. 36 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,800 And when you look at teams that have won it all those starts, I 37 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,960 mean, I bet you could go back and look at the last ten to 38 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,919 fifteen champions and their starts are like fifteen and two, twenty and three. 39 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,120 I mean, the Warriors did it a couple of years ago, Denver had 40 00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:32,639 a good start, The Bucks a few years ago were terrific. It's important 41 00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:37,080 and it's important that you take that mentality. For eighty two games. We 42 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,560 know Kawai and PG are gonna miss time, but everybody I just kind of 43 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:45,039 felt like eased their way into the season and I just had a hard time 44 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,120 feeling like this team was going to ever get over the hump. And if 45 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,039 you compare last year's team to the one two years ago that maxed out their 46 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,759 talent, the competitive integrity was never questioned, and when they lost by twenty, 47 00:02:57,759 --> 00:02:59,560 you're like, yeah, man, they these guys are laying it on 48 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,280 the line very night, Like Reggie Jackson should have been in traction much of 49 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,960 the season two years ago, right, and this dude, I remember there 50 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,360 was a game in Portland where he winds up on his back. I think 51 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,400 he's I thought he had a broken back, and he comes out and he 52 00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:14,919 plays the second half of that. I remember thinking, Okay, well tomorrow 53 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,400 when he wakes up, I think we were in Utah and he's he's gonna 54 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,039 be hurting, and I see him and he's like, I'm playing to night, 55 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,560 buddy, And it was just like nothing to him. And that's the 56 00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:28,159 spirit that I love and I want to see more of. And I'm hoping 57 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,759 that last year was humbling. Now that said, we get to the playoffs 58 00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:35,479 should give me a healthy PG. We're beating Phoenix in five. No one's 59 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,280 telling me any different than that. And I respect what the Sun's did. 60 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,479 The let's go and so I mean, like, I don't want to say 61 00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:44,120 like it was a disastrous season and they didn't know what they were doing, 62 00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:46,199 but they have a healthy team, a healthy Kawai and PG. They're winning 63 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,520 that series and who knows what's going on after that as they start to gain 64 00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:53,759 some confidence with russ In in that starting role. But it was. It 65 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,879 was a disappointing season with all the expectations that they had, and I'm hoping 66 00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:02,879 that that few rules them in this offseason and it fuels them when training camp 67 00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:08,080 opens on October three. What's that like for you, Like, you know, 68 00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:11,360 you're close to the team, you're a broadcaster that you're there night in, 69 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,680 night out. You know, like there are certain expectations that aren't really 70 00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:18,439 being met. Like is your goal to just like try to keep bringing the 71 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,800 energy for the fans and hope that things turn around, or what's it like 72 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,680 when you're sitting in the chair there. It's a good question, you know. 73 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,240 I definitely feel the frustration because I love the team too, and I'm 74 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,399 rooting for the team. I'm rooting for a good game, and there's a 75 00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:35,199 third team that I'm mooving for, and that's the fans. I want them 76 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,319 to have a great night. I want them to have something to cheer for. 77 00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:42,639 You know, they have been starved for success. We've had so much 78 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,279 hype around the team over the last decade and they just haven't been able to 79 00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:47,800 get over the hump. So when I start seeing that, I'm like, 80 00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:53,360 I feel down. I get upset. But at the end of the day, 81 00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:56,240 I still love what I do, and I'm that's the only place I 82 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,000 want to be is in front of a table with a microphone and watching a 83 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,040 basketball game. So it's not all doom and gloomy, even though it isn't 84 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,000 going the way that I wanted to go. And you know, it's funny 85 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:11,399 because in my normal life, I'm probably not the most optimistic person, but 86 00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:14,800 I'm an eternal optimist when it comes to the Clippers. I'm like, this 87 00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:16,120 is the game. Okay, that one play is the game. It's going 88 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,800 to turn the whole thing around. We're going ten and oh the next two 89 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,720 weeks. Well that clearly that never happened last year. But that's how I 90 00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:26,319 was like that when in the Chris Cayman years, like when we had Barrett 91 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,480 Davis, I'm like, oh, here we go. We might have lost 92 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,279 seven at all, but we just beat the worst team in the league, 93 00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:34,560 and now it's going to be giving us confidence. I stayed there all the 94 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,879 time, and so I don't know if that's just a genetic deficiency that I 95 00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:43,439 have or just an eternal love for the Clippers probably calling me call him be 96 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,480 there. Well, it's funny because your spot. For those of you don't 97 00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:49,399 know, Brian when he's broadcasting is right in that kind of like the perfect 98 00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:54,519 seating, basically halfway up that first bowl. It's wonderful if you sit in 99 00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:58,480 that section. Sometimes in media you're joined by Lawrence Frank, who is a 100 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:05,199 very enthusiastic watcher of the game and that so that's got to be I don't 101 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:08,800 know. For me, it would be hard if he was like if like 102 00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:12,800 your boss's boss's boss's boss was right in front of you during that. But 103 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,199 he's so focused that seems like it's not that big of a deal. But 104 00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:16,600 he's a great guy. Yeah, And I don't know, And I think 105 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,680 I feel that he understands the job that I have to do, and he 106 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,720 knows that if I have a question about, hey, how are we going 107 00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:28,160 to handle this, he gives me an honest answer, like he's Those guys 108 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,279 are great to all of them. I love the organization. I get that 109 00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:35,759 we haven't achieved what we're trying to achieve, but there are so many mountains 110 00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:40,720 that this organization had to climb and concker and part of that is winning a 111 00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:43,240 title. But in order to win a title, they had to make this 112 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,240 a place, a destination they had to give not only players, but front 113 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,759 office staff. Business side is great, Like, the whole organization is run 114 00:06:50,959 --> 00:06:55,040 so well. It's a matter of time before it all comes together and we 115 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,240 get to where we're going. But guys like Lawrence, we had, Michael 116 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,439 Winger, Mark Hugh's trend reading. Lee Jenkins sits in those seats every once 117 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,959 in a while. I mean, I just look over at Lee and I'm 118 00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:06,839 like, I can't believe that guy's in our organization. It's so awesome that 119 00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:11,519 the brain power that we have and the wisdom that we have. So I 120 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,560 actually love that Lawrence sits there. Sometimes I'll go down there and ask him 121 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,920 a question and I can tell within two words he's pissed or he's willing to 122 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,399 talk. So that's gonna see. I hope everything's good. I just walk 123 00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:24,519 away and act like I had a phone call or something. You know, 124 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,000 I'll get out of the way. I was one sitting in his seat in 125 00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:30,040 meteor row, which was very embarrassing. I felt a tap on my shoulder 126 00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:32,120 because there was no name tag, and I was kind of like and I 127 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,000 was like, oh, it's Lawrence Frank, I will move, sir, 128 00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:39,720 all right, Brian, So you mentioned it a little bit earlier, but 129 00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:43,480 talking about Paul George not being able to go in that first round series unfortunately 130 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,680 against the Phoenix Suns. But let's play things forward as we go back to 131 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,519 what he said on Monday on his podcast, he said he's gonna be on 132 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:56,319 his bully s this season. Normally I'd say shit like I just did now, 133 00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:59,040 but we got Brian Semana, So I'm gonna try to be more buttoned 134 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,319 up here in my undershirt. So Paul George said online that he is going 135 00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:09,199 to be on his bullys this season. How does that manifest itself? Because, 136 00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:13,279 to his credit, after what happened in the bubble in twenty twenty, 137 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,240 he came into the twenty twenty one season said he's gonna be on guys all 138 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,720 year long, and he was very good and helped lead them to the Western 139 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,560 Conference finals. So we're are we hoping to see from Paul George? Well, 140 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,519 I feel they have to know that this is this is gonna be a 141 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,199 possible last head, Like they have to know that if this doesn't happen, 142 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:35,679 that we're going to start getting kind of shopped around. That's just my opinion, 143 00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:39,320 I think he has to know that as well, so I would say 144 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,480 it's going to go well in that regard. But in my opinion, why 145 00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:45,879 would you ever get off of it like that? When I heard that, 146 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,279 why would you not just be this guy all the time? And I feel 147 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,799 that, you know, PG is so talented and has everything you could ever 148 00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:56,879 want. If he had Russell Westbrook's determination, we'd be talking about a top 149 00:08:56,919 --> 00:09:01,679 five player of all time. And and to me, if you have this 150 00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:03,759 whatever you want to call this mentality coming into this season, great. I 151 00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:07,600 mean, I thought he was just okay last year and he was an All 152 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,919 Star, Like, I thought he was good, Like I didn't think he 153 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,080 was the dominant player that he had kind of talked about it, yet he 154 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:16,200 still was an All Star. So I'm excited to see it. And I 155 00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:20,000 really hope that they feel some urgency, like, hey man, the window 156 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,200 is closing, like it isn't staying open forever. And he had mentioned that 157 00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:28,480 last year. So let's hope that he lays it all out on the floor 158 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,039 this year because they need it. And if he does, you're you're looking 159 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:39,039 at an All NBA selection at the very least. That's how talented he is. 160 00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:43,360 Are we worried that he's going to just become a literal bully and maybe 161 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:46,679 start panting people or shoving people in lockers? And how would the team spawn 162 00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:50,000 to that? You know, I'm just trying to see how that would go 163 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:56,799 over with Russ, like like, hey, what are you doing? I 164 00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:00,440 mean top of you know, I'm trying to think of who else he secret 165 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:07,919 channel would be occupied? A people getting away from PG put Suran rap on 166 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:13,559 the damn toilet, just ruining everything. Brian, have you ordered your James 167 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,840 Hardingersey yet? Or are you gonna wait for that whole trade to go through? 168 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:18,759 Yeah, I don't know what number he's gonna wear, so I'll just 169 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,600 I'm waiting for that note. You know, we're all waiting to see if 170 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,039 it even happens. And I watched your show last week, and I mean, 171 00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:31,519 I don't know. I just don't know how Philadelphia has an ounce of 172 00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:37,000 leverage like anything on so many levels. The player is on an expiring deal 173 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,080 in his mid thirties and can still contribute at a high level, but not 174 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,799 the level that we are used to seeing. He's called his shot about the 175 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,399 team. He wants to go play for But the thing to me that's the 176 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,679 biggest driver for this if you're Philadelphia is, Dude, you've got Joel Embiid 177 00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:58,360 in the middle of his prime. You cannot waste a game playing cat and 178 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,759 mouse with it. With a team that knows that you're up against it. 179 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,519 The Sixers are going to have to figure something out immediately, and and it's 180 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,039 it's I don't see a world in which they're going to get that Godfather offer. 181 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,039 I don't see how that's going to happen. But listen, I don't 182 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,279 like to speculate about this stuff, especially because I'm a team employee. But 183 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,840 all I know, I just all I know is what you guys read, 184 00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:22,480 what I read. I actually never ask the front office about what's going on. 185 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,120 But you could just see what the cards are. I mean, it's 186 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,080 like you're playing poker and you know the other guy's hand. I know you 187 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,000 don't have two aces. So I'm not going to be afraid of this pot. 188 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:33,200 I'm gonna do what I need to do to get what I need. 189 00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:35,480 Darryl Moray is a smart guy. Maybe he brings in a third or fourth 190 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,360 team to help kind of create some riches in that deal for Philadelphia. But 191 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,320 to me, the time is ticking for them. They cannot waste Joel embiad 192 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,600 he's already kind of hinted he's willing to go somewhere else, you know. 193 00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:50,919 I mean, you've got to be careful. You've got a generational talent like 194 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,320 Joel embiid, he can't let it go. So not to speculate too much, 195 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,360 but what would a player like James Harden bring to this Clippers team. 196 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,519 Well, I think he would fit well. I think he'd fit pretty well 197 00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:09,120 here. His skill set. I think he would fit well given that he 198 00:12:09,159 --> 00:12:13,960 would be the third maybe fourth guy. You know, it depends on where 199 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,639 you rank Russ and how many touches he's going to get, you know, 200 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,519 as Norman Powell on the floor at the same time, because in that sect, 201 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,919 I mean, I think I think James could fit in well. It 202 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,279 seems like he's you know, as Doc Rivers would say, he's over himself. 203 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,399 I think he's ready to just to come in and play all role. 204 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,960 If he's a fifteen and eight guy, that's success to me, Hey, 205 00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:37,279 you know what I mean, Like, you know, and a guy that 206 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,360 can kind of you know, you would have two interesting players and Harden possibly, 207 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,159 and again this is speculative, but you have a guy that can really 208 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,000 organize the offense and create shots for himself and his teammates. But then you 209 00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:50,679 have the other guy in Russ, who's the leadership quality that this team I 210 00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:54,960 feel has been missing really since the start of this two one three campaign in 211 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,320 twenty nineteen. And I think Russ being there for a training camp and and 212 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,720 I talked to that him, you know, I mean I was I was 213 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,480 concerned is a good word. When Russ was brought on for so many reasons, 214 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,159 and I was always want to be clear, like the guy showed out 215 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,879 and taking the contract that he did with the Clippers shows you that he just 216 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,960 wants to be loved and he just wants to play in a place where he 217 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,840 thinks he can find success in the role that he's given. So you, 218 00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:28,879 if you were like me and you kind of like kept Russ out here, 219 00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:31,960 give him a hug. No. I think he's I think his leadership through 220 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,480 a training camp and his mentality through a preseason will be infectious. And I 221 00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:41,559 think that's that that missing piece. I think Pat Beverley did a great job, 222 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,720 but Russ can do so much more. On the floor, and I 223 00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:48,960 think it's going to be great. Now, I want to be very clear, 224 00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:52,159 Pat Beverley might be my favorite all time Clippers, So that's O shade, 225 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,000 and I love, love, love Pat. Also, he was always 226 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,200 good to me, but just what he did in that twenty eighteen nineteen year 227 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,320 was so much fun. Anyway, hard that's right, I heard that one 228 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,240 before. So I think Harden's a good could be a good addition. You 229 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:11,440 know. I've always been a fan of his skill set, so it'll be 230 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,840 curious to see. And you've got a guy in Tylu that I think and 231 00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:18,519 we'll talk about this later about attacking the regular season and having more urgency, 232 00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:20,840 but I think Tyler is going to be able to put him in a spot 233 00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:26,360 to be very successful and very tricky to deal with, especially when Paul George 234 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:30,200 and Kawhi letter on the floor at the same time. Yeah, you bring 235 00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:33,279 up Tylu. We recently got some word that it seems like Kwai should be 236 00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:37,039 ready for training camp. If that's the case, like, how do you 237 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:43,679 think this team do we see a different approach to that first, you know, 238 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,360 twenty or thirty games. If we have a healthy Quai in training camp 239 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:52,120 and do you think that that could have any sort of impact on on these 240 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,679 sort of contract negotiations that are not necessarily under the clock. They're both on 241 00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:00,279 their contract for another season, but from from what we've heard at least, 242 00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:03,159 there hasn't been a whole lot of movement there. Yeah, I don't know 243 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,080 anything about I don't even know how I feel about a contract extent to be 244 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,840 honest, like I mean, I just I know the work that Lawrence in 245 00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:16,679 that front office have done the predates Kawai's arrival, and I'll just be honest. 246 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,799 For me, I have eternal trust in what they're doing. So if 247 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,559 they say we're going to sign these guys to three or four year deals, 248 00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:26,279 then that's the right move. I just I believe that I believe in them. 249 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,519 Others can say they don't, that's fine, but I do. So. 250 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,440 I don't know really where I said. It was kind of like what 251 00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:33,559 Chris Paul was like in twenty seventeen. I didn't know if I wanted in 252 00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:37,480 the comeback, if I wanted in to go. It's not because I didn't 253 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,559 think he would help the Clippers win, but at a price tag at that 254 00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:43,639 age when we've been missing games, I was like, you know, I'm 255 00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:46,000 good either way. I know if we see if he stays, we'll have 256 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,960 a chance to win games. If he goes, we'll have a chance to 257 00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:52,799 actually rebuild hit the reset button, which we did beautifully, like you couldn't 258 00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:56,080 have asked for it any better. So, you know, I don't know 259 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,840 how the beginning of the season goes. I I just want to feel like 260 00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:07,360 they are crazed and desperate to win. We know Kawhi is gonna miss twenty 261 00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:12,120 games, probably more. Pg's gonna miss fifteen to twenty probably, but there's 262 00:16:12,159 --> 00:16:15,639 still enough talent on this team to win a lot of games. And I 263 00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:21,519 just I want the desperate urgency. I want them to feel like this is 264 00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:25,720 indeed the last dance for these guys if they can't get it done. I'm 265 00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:30,600 not saying that it is, but I need that urgency every single night because 266 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,440 it just wasn't their life. There was so many games I walked away staking 267 00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:37,759 my head, like what I mean the Denver game in early I want to 268 00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:40,720 say it was early January where the players got benched. There was a game 269 00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:42,759 in Cleveland. I mean, it was it was just rough. I was 270 00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:45,840 just there were so many times I just felt like they weren't out there trying 271 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,840 to win and trying to play as hard as they could. That has to 272 00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:55,039 be that happens to every team, including the Denver Nuggets who want it all. 273 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,519 I just felt it happened. I felt like it happened like two or 274 00:16:56,519 --> 00:17:00,360 three times a month, and that was too many times. Yeah. I 275 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,759 like what you said about kind of playing like crazed, like we need like 276 00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:07,319 an an incredibly determined version of those guys. There was a cool story to 277 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,599 kind of talk about some of the younger guys and like focus and you know, 278 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,799 bringing the energy. I don't know if you saw it. Law Murray 279 00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:18,200 tweeted out a really cool anecdote from the Drew League when Musa Diabat was playing 280 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,319 in it, where a coach posted that he was like, I had an 281 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,200 NBA guy on my Drew League team. Well, I had to sub out 282 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,119 because he wasn't you know, he was making some defensive lapses. And he 283 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:30,480 said when he was talking with Musa, Musa was just locked in on his 284 00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:33,680 eyes. He was saying yes, coach, yes, coach. He internalized 285 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,400 that he went to the bench, he was still cheering and bringing guys up 286 00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:38,640 that same coach had college guys on the team who we did the same thing 287 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,960 with who were not as enthused and didn't reciprocate those same streeling Musa did. 288 00:17:44,319 --> 00:17:48,400 How can some of these young guys maybe help with the energy, And I 289 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,599 mean Kobe Brown's been talked up, I mean a fair amount by this by 290 00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:55,200 this team so far. Like what are you looking forward to from some of 291 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,559 the young guys and what they can bring because playing time it might not be 292 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,920 as as some people want, but given these Clippers goals, having that energy 293 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,519 around should help too. Yeah, you know, and Mussa could be a 294 00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:08,359 guy that gets in there a few more times than he did last year. 295 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,920 Remember he won that Portland game in Portland early in the season. Came in 296 00:18:12,599 --> 00:18:17,759 the whole fourth quarter and it's funny if you go back and watch. And 297 00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:22,240 I only know this because Ty was talking about it on the plane. He 298 00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:26,000 says, go watch the tape. I'm out there telling Mussa literally every board 299 00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:27,480 that it needs to be on it be two feet outs. He had to 300 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,480 direct him, like literally, like an orchestra conductor, because Mussa wasn't like 301 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,880 totally aware. And that's not because he's not a smart guy because he hasn't 302 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,240 been playing with some of these guys, but he's he's kind of all over 303 00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:44,200 the place defensively, but his energy was so infectious and he deserved the game 304 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,279 ball and then some he was awesome. But the guy that I feel like 305 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,920 needs to really make a show is Brandon Boston. I'm curious about him. 306 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,119 This is his third year. I've talked with Lawrence in the past about developing 307 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,319 younger players, and he's always said, I need to see something by the 308 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,839 third year. There's not a skill set piece that Brandon Boston doesn't have. 309 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,559 Offensively, I've seen him in practice. He's got all the tools. Can 310 00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:10,720 he put it together in a game? Can he play a team game? 311 00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:12,759 Let's find that out. But there's a lot of talent on the back end 312 00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:17,119 of that bench, you know. I'm curious about Jason Preston. I thought 313 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,119 he was okay. I thought he had some good moments in Summer League, 314 00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:22,920 you know. And Kobe Brown. I mean, there was a couple of 315 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,200 games there You're just like, well, what's the deal with this dude? 316 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,200 Can this guy actually cracked the rotation? That's how good he looked in Summer 317 00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:30,400 League. But then you look at the depth chart ahead of him. You 318 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,680 know it's going to be an uphill battle. But you know they've got some 319 00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:37,839 young talent going forward. I just I agree. I don't know if they're 320 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,599 going to see it. Put it this way, if they do start seeing 321 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,559 a lot of time, something probably happened to get that time. That's not 322 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,200 great, you know what I mean, unless there's some crazy surprise in training 323 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,200 camp that some of these guys get into the rotation. Yeah, we'll see 324 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,920 a video of Kobe Brown dunking on Kauai practice and I was like, well, 325 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,039 I guess he asked to start. Now, coming up, we have 326 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:02,680 some fantastic Clippers fans question that we did have to curate because shockingly, Clippers 327 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,599 Twitter isn't as positive as real life Clippers fans. But before that, we 328 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:08,880 have some ads coming up. We've got to keep the lights on. They've 329 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,240 been a little loud, so if that's been your case, go ahead and 330 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,759 turn them down a scoche. But after that, we are asking Brian Seman 331 00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:22,160 your fans submitted questions. Ads coming up in three two one. All right, 332 00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:26,440 we are back. This is a season two episode seven of Clips and 333 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,880 Dip. We're joined by Brian Seman, Brian, thank you so much for 334 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,599 being on here. Number seven with Brian. Now there we go. Will 335 00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:37,440 What is this question we got from Clippers Twitter power user Justin w at La 336 00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:42,240 Clippers film who Brian I believe you've met before I met he is? He 337 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:49,000 is a basketball savant. Yes, I really respect his opinion absolutely, Justin 338 00:20:49,079 --> 00:20:53,279 asked members of the franchise. We've we've heard about it from Tyler, Lawrence 339 00:20:53,279 --> 00:21:00,680 Frank. We've talked about respecting the regular season again given the health concer you 340 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,240 know, with some of these guys, to what end, like, can 341 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:08,160 we really achieve that? Can they achieve that goal? Well, if the 342 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,839 goal is to win sixty games, that's gonna be tough to do. To 343 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:18,680 me, it's a mentality. It's a it's a crazed urgency. It doesn't 344 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,799 matter if Kawai and PG are having those load management moments. I get it, 345 00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:26,319 it's it's going to happen. It's it's unavoidable with these guys, but 346 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,920 uh, you still need to have this mentality. That is just Gopher broke 347 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,359 every single night for who is available to play, and it just was so 348 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,240 hit or miss. I just didn't know what was our identity. Last year, 349 00:21:41,279 --> 00:21:45,440 I did not know, and so that can't be the case. Now 350 00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:48,960 they have got to be able to come out and and just give you everything 351 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,640 they have. It's impossible to quantify. And I can see that my video 352 00:21:52,759 --> 00:21:56,799 is frozen. I don't look like I've been hanging out with Cheech and Chong 353 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,319 the whole time. But you know, I lost by train of thought there 354 00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:07,720 but went up and smoke it did. But I just I need to see 355 00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,079 a mentality every single day. I was gonna say, it's like, I 356 00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:15,599 don't know how how you can quantify it, but I'm telling you from my 357 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,119 front row seat, seventy five percent of the time, the team that plays 358 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,240 harder wins. I just believe that, no matter who they're up against, 359 00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:26,000 I believe that that is the case. And I just want to see them 360 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:30,400 play hard every single night. That's a good call. We talked a little 361 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:36,160 bit about Russ Jesse season, who I believe was Jesse. Beer kind of 362 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,839 asked, you know, what was your perspective of seeing Russ welcome to the 363 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,119 team. How have you seen kind of the team change? And we all, 364 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:47,240 I mean, I shared your thing when when we brought Russ on trepidation. 365 00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:51,000 I would say, from my perspective to put it politely, given what 366 00:22:51,039 --> 00:22:56,559 we've seen so far, but he does bring something that evidently Paul, George 367 00:22:56,599 --> 00:23:00,519 and QUI need to kind of lift them up. You mentioned the training camp 368 00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:03,079 thing. Having a full training cam is going to be good. But could 369 00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:07,200 the Russ experiment really have gone, I guess, any better than it did 370 00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:11,480 when them that last season. I mean, outside of the first five games. 371 00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:15,200 I don't think so, because I think he brought exactly what the Clippers 372 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:22,240 needed. He is the physical embodiment of what I'm talking about for the Clippers. 373 00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:26,640 Russell Westbrook has never taken a playoff in his life. He has never 374 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,839 had a game where he's just kind of gone through the motions. Yes, 375 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,200 he's had games where he hasn't been efficient. I can promise you it wasn't 376 00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:38,000 because he didn't prepare mentally or physically. It just wasn't there that night. 377 00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:44,279 And even though I had my reservations about Russ when he came here, I 378 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,759 always respected the way that he played. In fact, if you want to 379 00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:49,680 go back to the twenty fourteen playoffs, Kevin Durant is the MVP, and 380 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:55,680 I remember talking with Doc Rivers before like the playoff series had began, and 381 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,319 he said, I said, how do you slow down Durant? What's your 382 00:23:57,319 --> 00:24:00,359 biggest keys? Like Durant is and we got to pay attention to him, 383 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,960 but the head of the snake is Russell Westbrook. You take him out, 384 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,920 you can start derailing everybody else. And I think that's probably his impact has 385 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,839 probably changed than it did, you know, maybe say nine years ago. 386 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:17,079 But this is a guy that I love to see play as hard as he 387 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,160 does. And I don't think he's going to let anybody else off the hook, 388 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,839 you know, and I love it. I think it's easier for him 389 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,599 to look leaders or leaders they're going to lead. And I don't think he 390 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,160 felt uncomfortable when it came in there, but it's a different vibe what he's 391 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:36,599 coming in to, a whole new blank canvas to be able to say, 392 00:24:36,759 --> 00:24:41,640 this is how we're playing, this is what I expect from you and everybody 393 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,279 that's played with him. Again, whether you're a fan or you like Russ 394 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,240 or don't like Russ, I have yet to see a teammate say I didn't 395 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,359 like playing with Russell Westbrook. In fact, it's the best teammate I've ever 396 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:57,960 had that is almost unanimous throughout his time in the NBA. So I sense 397 00:24:59,079 --> 00:25:03,240 that he's going to have much bigger imprint leadership wise, because it's going to 398 00:25:03,319 --> 00:25:07,400 be more comfortable for him. So I thought he was received very well by 399 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,880 the players. Tylow loved him. I mentioned this story a couple of times 400 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,240 at the end of the year, but I'll say it again here. I 401 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,720 remember it was maybe the last game of the season. We're playing the Blazers, 402 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,000 and somebody asked Chauncey Billups about Russell Westbrook and he says, you know 403 00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:25,079 what, I don't know if it was a great fit a couple of months 404 00:25:25,079 --> 00:25:27,759 ago, but the Clippers needed a point guard and a leader, and Russ 405 00:25:27,759 --> 00:25:33,000 needs some Russ needed somebody to give him a hug. And that's what he 406 00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:36,880 did. And the results speak for themselves. And like I said, I 407 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,880 was really concerned about it, and I am not concerned. I thought I 408 00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:45,400 ate my words. In fact, Adam, Adam and I. Noah Eagle 409 00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:48,960 was the adult in the room with Adam and I when we were commiserating about 410 00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:52,759 about Russ, and Noah's like, well, listen, man, whether you 411 00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:55,079 like him or don't like him, you need to understand that he's gonna be 412 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,400 on this team, and you need to do it. You need to you 413 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,839 know he's going to be here and to do your job. Well, you 414 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,440 need to let it go. And I go, you know what, you're 415 00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:04,200 right, You're absolutely right. And then it was like that moment. I 416 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,200 think that was maybe like before the Memphis game where he scored like forty one 417 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,759 points or whatever it was. It was a crazy outing and I kept looking 418 00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:15,359 back at Noah shaking my head, like you you're supposed to be twenty four 419 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,599 years old. How are you the adults in the room. My god. 420 00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:22,119 Anyway, he put Adam and Eye in our place pretty quickly, guys beyond 421 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,920 his ears, Noah Eagle, We got your Voice of the Clippers, Brian 422 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,920 Semen on CND taking your questions right now. Clip check. Nick asks this, 423 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,119 Brian, what was your favorite moment or moments or game in your time 424 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:41,200 on a Clippers broadcast so far? Oh geez, I truly do love them 425 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:47,279 all. Any any of the comebacks are fun, Like the twenty point comebacks 426 00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:49,920 are always a blast. And it's not because you know you're gonna win when 427 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,799 you're down nineteen. I mean, like it's there's so much like, there's 428 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:59,599 so much hope, I guess, and hope is always I think the driving 429 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,079 emotion in sports, like you just are so hopeful, whether whether it's the 430 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,759 twenty eighteen nineteen season for the Clippers and you're hoping that they can get a 431 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,559 run into the playoffs, you're hoping that they can get a big free agent 432 00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:14,400 in this the hope is so much fun. And in a microcosm, let's 433 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,519 say you're down thirty five in Washington, you cut it to twenty five, 434 00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:19,319 you cut it to fifteen. Now you're hoping that they can pull it out. 435 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,960 And then once that hope is like now a fact that it happened, 436 00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:29,359 there's so much joy after the fact. It's such a buzz after the game 437 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,640 is over in the bus, you know, with the with the players, 438 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:33,880 especially when you do it on the road, and I feel like we've done 439 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,599 a lot of them on the road, so you know, sometimes we go 440 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,599 back to the hotel and the Clippers will rent out the bar and you'll sit 441 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,039 there with the players and the coaches and just it's like a little mini celebration. 442 00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:45,680 They're not celebrating a title, but it was a job well done that 443 00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:49,759 night. So those are my favorite moments. But I'll be honest, I've 444 00:27:49,759 --> 00:27:53,039 got just the best job in the league. I sincerely believe that I just 445 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,119 love every day that I go to work, and I love the days where 446 00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,359 we're not working and I'm prepping. I love days like today when I just 447 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,480 get the talk hoops in the middle of the offseason. I have either made 448 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,000 a deal with the devil or I was born under a lucky star. It's 449 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,799 one of the two things that I'm afraid to find out what it's all said 450 00:28:10,839 --> 00:28:14,440 and done. I got lucky getting to work with Brian, and I'm partial 451 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,839 to his thirty one point comeback call against the Golden State Warriors on the radio 452 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,880 back in twenty nineteen. That is an all timer. I usually reposted that 453 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,759 follow out of May on the Anniverse for every year because I just love it. 454 00:28:25,759 --> 00:28:30,400 Plus the last of the Mohicans music I put her an it wasn't thick 455 00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:34,920 enough. Will so Andrew in the eight one eight wants to know, of 456 00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:38,960 all the players on the team currently, who do you think would make a 457 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:45,400 good color commentator? Wow, you know, I don't know him well enough, 458 00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:51,480 but he's got the gift of gab and that is Bones Highland. Oh 459 00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:55,920 so Bones can really he can really chat and it's I mean, in all 460 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,440 the good ways. He's a he's got a real gift of gab. I'll 461 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,000 tell you any story, though, who would you say would be the most 462 00:29:03,079 --> 00:29:07,440 challenging in your estimation? Who would be the word the tough? Everyone would 463 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,720 say Kauai. So here's the story. So to be clear, I don't 464 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:17,039 bother Kauai. I just it's a lot of art work. It's not all 465 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,480 it's a lot of work to get not a lot of answers, and I 466 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,039 don't want to. I don't want any bad vibes from him to me. 467 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,240 And then if he didn't like answer the question like they from me to him. 468 00:29:27,279 --> 00:29:30,640 So I just kind of I get it like I get it with Kawai. 469 00:29:30,839 --> 00:29:34,359 So we're in Utah middle of the season last two years ago, so 470 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,519 he's out all year, and like I said, I kind of just keep 471 00:29:37,559 --> 00:29:41,119 my distance with Kauai. Every once in a while, I'll give him a 472 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,160 what up when he's on the bus, but that's it. So we're in 473 00:29:44,319 --> 00:29:48,119 we're in the team dining area. It's just me and Kauai and Kawhi is 474 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,480 clear across the room and I'm just minding my own business, and all of 475 00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:55,799 a sudden, I feel this tap on my shoulder and he puts out his 476 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,279 big giant fish. You can't see me because I'm frozen here in time, 477 00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:02,559 and I'm like, look, I'm like, oh, hey, what's up 478 00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:03,680 guy? And I kind of pounded his fist back, and I'm like, 479 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,160 I look at the chef. I'm like, what was that? What happened 480 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,359 there? And I'm looking around and see if I come on some kind of 481 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,200 camera show or whatever. So I get on the bus for a shoot around, 482 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,640 and Frittella was with us, and he goes, and by the way, 483 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,799 Mike Fritella was one of my favorite all time human beings ever. I 484 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,440 just I love him with all my heart for so many reasons. And he 485 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,440 sits down. He goes, well, mister Seman, I had a very 486 00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:33,440 interesting conversation with one Kawhi Leonard And I'm like, you did, I said, 487 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,359 I had a really long conversation with him too. He gave me a 488 00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:38,480 fist bump and he, you know, the bizarre didn't understand the dry humor 489 00:30:38,519 --> 00:30:44,160 there, That's fine, he goes. Kawai was really interested in where we're 490 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,240 sitting, and I'm like, oh, that's okay, great, Well did 491 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,920 you tell him were because we're in Utah. We're very high up in Utah. 492 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,839 He's like, I told him where we're sitting, and he said that's 493 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,200 good to know. So a couple of days later, I go up to 494 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,519 one of our PR people, Dennis Rodgers, and I said, Kawhi's asking 495 00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:06,799 a few times now where for Tello sits. And Dennis goes, oh, 496 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,359 yeah, I think he wants to do a game with you guys, and 497 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:15,680 I'm like yes. So initially I'm like, how awesome. And then I 498 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,599 start thinking, I'm like, does he know he has to talk? Like 499 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,519 does he know He's like I can't say, hey, Kawhi, what are 500 00:31:22,559 --> 00:31:26,240 your thoughts on the team where they're going to play eighty two games, forty 501 00:31:26,279 --> 00:31:29,640 one at home and forty one on the road, Like that's kind of my 502 00:31:29,759 --> 00:31:33,440 fear, and I think that people would tune in and be like, hey, 503 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,559 I want to hear what Kawai says. So now I'm starting to feel 504 00:31:34,599 --> 00:31:37,960 pressure, like I don't know, I'm not going to make him the butt 505 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,279 of a joke. I'm not gonna like be I want him to look good. 506 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,720 So I'm really panicking about this, and so we're coming up with her. 507 00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:48,400 He wanted to do it on the road where we were a courtside so 508 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,519 that he could just slide over and then go right back to the bench without 509 00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:56,119 fans bothering him. And we're about four days out and we're going to Denver. 510 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,079 This would have been in twenty twenty two. And we're going to Denver 511 00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:01,599 and they're like, yeah, I think this is gonna be the game. 512 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,079 So I'm stressing, like I'm like, what am I gotta come up with 513 00:32:05,079 --> 00:32:08,920 fifty questions for a five minute interview? And I think. We get on 514 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,279 the plane and I'm like, I don't get like nervous, nervous, but 515 00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:15,359 I get anxious for games. But I'm nervous. And then I finally go 516 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,160 up to Dennis and I'm like, hey, man, it's to borrow that 517 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,880 d He's like, oh, yeah, quite a side. He's not gonna 518 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,440 do it. He's not coming to the game. So it got I was 519 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,039 like building this whole thing up. I'm like, oh my god. And 520 00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:28,319 I was partially relieved, although I think it would have been fun. And 521 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,640 I've talked to the players to a man. I'm like, is he really 522 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:35,480 funny? They all say, hilarious, He's the funniest dude in that locker 523 00:32:35,599 --> 00:32:38,240 room. I think you've probably heard the Tyler story about air balls this week. 524 00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:40,599 I mean, it's I'm gonna airball again. He's like, I'm not 525 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,119 running, I'm not doing that garbage. But so anyway, that would have 526 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,480 been a test for sure, but it would have been a good one. 527 00:32:47,519 --> 00:32:52,200 I think that's awesome. Man. Hopefully something like that could happen. That 528 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,599 would be a trip. I also love Mike for Tello too. Mike for 529 00:32:54,680 --> 00:33:01,440 Tello is the only commentator who draws up ball play, which I love. 530 00:33:01,519 --> 00:33:05,920 I'm being since I love like, that's the stuff you don't usually see. 531 00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:09,920 Ethan Chan wants to know. So we kind of talked about the good moments, 532 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,599 right like when you're, you know, doing a comeback. How do 533 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:19,200 you keep your composure when things and this is this is Ethan Chan's words, 534 00:33:19,559 --> 00:33:22,440 how do you keep composure during the calls in the clutch when things go horribly 535 00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:28,920 wrong for the team. I still believe that they can get it done, 536 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,839 unless it's obviously the last possession of a game or you know whatever. I'm 537 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,200 just I'm only focusing on I think they can get this done. I'll be 538 00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:43,119 honest. Like the first couple of times I was at the Timberwolves back in 539 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,680 six oh seven, so it's the last year Garnett is with the Wolves before 540 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,559 it goes to Boston. And there were three games, and they were my 541 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,680 first three NBA games that all came down to the final possession, and I 542 00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:59,279 literally felt like I was having a stroke, Like my right hand was tingly 543 00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:01,400 and I'm like, how am I gonna what am I gonna say? Oh? 544 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,319 My gosh, you know, And I had I had some people that 545 00:34:05,359 --> 00:34:07,719 I worked with that weren't not necessarily great human beings, so they were always 546 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:12,960 nitpick what you do. So I had that nervousness going on. Yeah yeah, 547 00:34:13,039 --> 00:34:15,360 yeah, Adam was, well, thank you for bringing that up. 548 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:22,679 Thank you. That's another segment. Yeah. But now when we get in 549 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:27,280 those clutch moments, like I just I feel alive, Like I just love 550 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,719 being there. I don't always nail it for sure that that's that's going to 551 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,760 be the kay, but I feel great. So when they are not playing 552 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,280 well, I'm still a believer. Alright, we Hey, it's only a 553 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,679 one possession game or Hey, you know, we came back from thirty five 554 00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:45,280 points guys in a half. This is nothing. We can figure this out. 555 00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:47,559 So I'm just happy to be honestly, it just comes back to the 556 00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:51,519 joy of the job and the luckiness that I know I have. So I'm 557 00:34:51,519 --> 00:34:55,119 not going to get so pissed off that you sons of bitchiness make a regular 558 00:34:55,159 --> 00:34:59,719 pass for crying out loud. You know, I'm never going to be that 559 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,760 way. But I sometimes I'll just look over at my partner. I'll be 560 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,920 like, man, that was not a good play. That was just not 561 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,199 a good shot. But like I said, I'm so thrilled to be there. 562 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:13,280 I don't ever get too mad. Tony Lou wants to know how you 563 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:19,159 work through having different floating commentators and color analysts next to you, and just 564 00:35:19,199 --> 00:35:22,280 how do you adjust. Mike Forrotelo is very different than Jim Jackson. You've 565 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,760 worked with Don McClain. It times like it's been a revolving door, but 566 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,960 you make it seem like it's all family either way. Well it is, 567 00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:34,199 And so I mentioned Mike Fritello, let's sew Don McClain, Corey mcgetty, 568 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:42,760 Jim Jackson, Chauncey Billups. So let's go back to nineteen ninety the NBA 569 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,960 on NBC. It's the first year. Now it's Marv and it's a guy 570 00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:49,360 named Mike Fortello, who I knew from the Atlanta Hawks. I grew up 571 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,559 in the Midwest, so they had TBS, which was the Hawks superstation. 572 00:35:52,679 --> 00:35:57,480 Yeah, and so they syndicated that throughout the entire country. So I was 573 00:35:57,639 --> 00:36:00,840 very aware of who Mike for Tello was. I did not know he had 574 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:06,679 such a great dry personality. So I'm I'm in my early teens and I'm 575 00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:08,360 watching Mike for Tello, and I'm actually, by the way, I was 576 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:13,360 dating my wife at the time, so if my wife and I've been together 577 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,679 forever, so we would be watching NBA on NBC and Mike for Tello would 578 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,679 be on, and I would just hang on every word because I'm trying to 579 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,599 learn about the game. You know, it's nineteen ninety. There's no Internet. 580 00:36:24,639 --> 00:36:28,760 I don't know anything about anything else other than what I'm watching. For 581 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,280 Tello would diagram the place. He'd tell you where you're supposed to be. 582 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,519 Why this was working, and I was enamored with it. So fast forward 583 00:36:35,559 --> 00:36:37,719 a couple of years nineteen ninety two. I'm in Iowa Big ten Country. 584 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,599 Who's the best player in the country as two people, Don McLean and Jim 585 00:36:42,679 --> 00:36:45,760 Jackson, And I'm watching these guys, and I'm telling you, I was 586 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:51,079 such a basketball and m a basketball junkie. But I loved college as much 587 00:36:51,119 --> 00:36:52,719 as I loved the pros. Back in the nineties, that's when it was 588 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,840 at its peak. So I knew litter a good college basketball school or kid. 589 00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,800 I don't know if you know this. I went to the Harvard of 590 00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:05,079 Lawrence and it's a University of Kansas. It's state education, but don't let 591 00:37:05,079 --> 00:37:07,440 it fully. I was there for five years. I was so great. 592 00:37:08,119 --> 00:37:12,079 But I would watch Jim Jackson on Big Monday, and then I'd stay up 593 00:37:12,159 --> 00:37:15,119 late. I'd watch Don McLean and Tracy Murray and Jerald Madkins at UCLA. 594 00:37:15,519 --> 00:37:20,559 So all these people have been and I mean, like I'm hand on a 595 00:37:20,599 --> 00:37:22,519 bible. I'm telling you, man, like I watched these guys when I 596 00:37:22,599 --> 00:37:28,119 was a kid. And I remember the first time Don McLean was in the 597 00:37:28,199 --> 00:37:30,719 media room and I've been in with the team for maybe a year, and 598 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,280 he shows up what he needs to show up, and I think he showed 599 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,800 up early on this day, and Don has a what they call the resting 600 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:43,000 bitch face, where he doesn't look like he's a very warm person. Sure, 601 00:37:43,079 --> 00:37:45,719 I need to be very clear, he's an awesome dude. So he's 602 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,480 got this like look on his face, and he comes up he goes, 603 00:37:47,559 --> 00:37:52,599 are you Brian Seman, and I'm like, oh shit, yeah yeah, 604 00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:53,920 but he goes, was listen to you on the radio. You do a 605 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,519 good job, keep it up, and then he just walks away and I'm 606 00:37:57,519 --> 00:38:00,480 like, yes, yes, that was a good interaction. That's awesome. 607 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,719 So, uh, Don is just awesome. So watching him at UCLA. 608 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,079 I actually was a UCLA fan growing up in Iowa and would go to their 609 00:38:09,159 --> 00:38:14,760 NCAA tournament games when we were on spring break because I loved watching Don and 610 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,880 and and Tracy Murray was one of my favorite players bombing from deep. So 611 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,079 I'm going around the block to go next door. The answer is I love 612 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,960 all these people that I get to work with. I watched Chauncey win UH 613 00:38:28,159 --> 00:38:32,159 Finals MVP in two thousand and four, and I just appreciated that grinding Detroit 614 00:38:32,199 --> 00:38:37,280 Pistons squad. So to be able to work with all these people and have 615 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,400 like be on a tech thread with some of these guys. It's crazy to 616 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,719 to Mike for Tello. I've been at his house, he's he's been in 617 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,599 my car, he's he tells, you know, he talks to my boys. 618 00:38:46,679 --> 00:38:50,400 I mean, it's I leave the house and I'll tell my wife. 619 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:51,920 I'm like, oh, by the way, I'm only going to work with 620 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,760 Mike for Tello. I've worked with the czar for two hundred games and it's 621 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:59,920 still a pinch me moment. So if it sounds like it's family, because 622 00:39:00,119 --> 00:39:04,039 in my heart they really all are. I love them all and I just 623 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,039 there are there's different personalities and I like that, I really do. And 624 00:39:07,079 --> 00:39:12,440 I like to have fun with Jim. I know, bizarre doesn't understand anything 625 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,840 that's not basketball, So there'll be no pop culture references. Yeah, with 626 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:20,039 Mia Frizello, and I think that's great. You know. I just have 627 00:39:20,199 --> 00:39:22,559 I just I sincerely me and I keep saying it. I just have the 628 00:39:22,559 --> 00:39:24,639 best job in the world, and I'm so blessed, and I just love 629 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,480 all these people. Anybody they throw at me, I'm gonna know where their 630 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,800 background is and I'm just gonna have a good time with them. It's just 631 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,000 been. It's been a really fun ride here these last four years. And 632 00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:37,800 there is a saying about Don McLean and this comes from the Petruss of Money 633 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:43,880 show. The next ass he kisses will be the first. And we love 634 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,719 Don getting his staff of approval. That's the best feeling of the war. 635 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:51,360 It was pretty good man. And plus he knows he knows the game as 636 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,480 well as literally anyone that's walked the face of this earth. So if he 637 00:39:53,519 --> 00:39:57,480 gives you a blessing, you've earned it and it's it's a good feeling. 638 00:39:58,159 --> 00:40:00,159 Well, Brian, you said, the last four years on the broadcast have 639 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:05,199 been a blessing for you Clippers fans everywhere. We're so lucky to have you 640 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,960 and everything you bring to the game. That you make the comebacks better, 641 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,880 you make the losses better too, which I think is probably the best mark 642 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,000 of a commentator. Are you going to be back for the preseason games? 643 00:40:15,559 --> 00:40:19,119 Are you going to be doing the game up in Seattle? Or are you 644 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,239 not getting paid for the offseason, which I believe we are doing. I 645 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,880 gotta change that picture. Hold on, I keep trying to make the camera 646 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,400 work so I don't look like I'm Now you're looking good on our that's the 647 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,119 worst one, and I'm going to keep it there. I think we are. 648 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:40,440 I think we are doing games in Hawaii, that's where training camp is, 649 00:40:40,559 --> 00:40:45,280 which we've done a couple we did that in pre COVID, and then 650 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:50,079 we are doing a game in Seattle, and then after that. I don't 651 00:40:50,199 --> 00:40:53,400 know. Last year if we don't have the schedule yet, like we don't 652 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,679 have any idea what it is either. But last year KATLA did all of 653 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,480 the preseason games, which it's basically a Bally's production that they put on the 654 00:41:02,519 --> 00:41:07,960 air for KTLA, So it's all kind of the same pieces from a production 655 00:41:07,039 --> 00:41:09,880 standpoint. So I'm looking forward to it. I don't know. I want 656 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,199 to say maybe October ninth is our first preseason game, but I don't know 657 00:41:14,199 --> 00:41:16,440 if that's been released yet. I'm just grasping at straws there, but I'm 658 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,119 looking forward to it. We're going to build out as breaking news from Brian 659 00:41:20,159 --> 00:41:23,519 Seman, thank you for that. Before we get out of here, can 660 00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:28,679 we just get let's just get a couple positivity thoughts for Clipper Nation right now. 661 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:34,199 I will Adam correct me if I'm wrong. Things feel a little down 662 00:41:34,199 --> 00:41:37,480 in the offseason dumps a bit for some some Clippers fans. Brian, what 663 00:41:37,559 --> 00:41:42,280 can you say to lift these people up? I just feel good. I 664 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,639 mean, I'm glad to hear Paul George is angry, if that's the word 665 00:41:46,679 --> 00:41:50,440 you want to use, if he's going to be back on his bs as 666 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,639 he said. I think Kauhi will be just fine coming into training camp. 667 00:41:52,679 --> 00:41:58,639 But I mean I really believe it. Like to me, one of you 668 00:41:58,679 --> 00:42:00,559 know what, if you ask me, the biggest missing ingredient to me has 669 00:42:00,639 --> 00:42:07,199 been a rock solid truth telling leader in the locker room. I'm not sure 670 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:12,360 they've had that with Kauai and PG. Those are That's not their role. 671 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,639 That's not who they are, you know what I mean. And you can't 672 00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:19,719 do that and have it be sincere if that's not who you are. So 673 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,440 they have a guy like Russell Westbrook in the locker room from day one, 674 00:42:24,039 --> 00:42:28,159 not allowing slippage. You know. I remember Scotty Brooks when he was in 675 00:42:28,199 --> 00:42:32,119 Oklahoma City said we never had a bad practice, and he touted it because 676 00:42:32,159 --> 00:42:37,840 of Russ and his just no nonsense attitude. And I think everybody bought in. 677 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,719 Kad obviously did too, and they had a great team there, but 678 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:44,039 I think Russ is that backbone of leadership. And if you'd have told me 679 00:42:44,159 --> 00:42:46,800 in February that I'd be singing Russ's praises as the biggest reason why I think 680 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:51,039 the Clippers are going to have a different year this year, I'd called you 681 00:42:51,079 --> 00:42:53,679 crazy. But I think leadership has been the missing ingredient and I think they 682 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:58,760 found it. And who knows what happens with the James Harden situation. It's 683 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,400 all speculative, but I think this team has enough talent to really make some 684 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:06,000 noise in the Western Conference. If they play with a competitive edge, I 685 00:43:06,039 --> 00:43:08,199 think that they're going to be just fine. And I look forward to kind 686 00:43:08,199 --> 00:43:13,039 of a clash of the Titans between Denver. Obviously, what Phoenix did is 687 00:43:13,079 --> 00:43:16,679 fantastic. Dallas really picked it up later in this offseason. I thought they 688 00:43:16,679 --> 00:43:20,760 would miss the playoffs for sure. Now there are to me, they're They're 689 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,719 in the top four spot. It's gonna be interesting to see Lakers got Lakers 690 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,599 maintained and maybe got a little bit better as well. The West is tough 691 00:43:28,679 --> 00:43:30,119 this just in but I feel great about where the Clippers are. I really 692 00:43:30,159 --> 00:43:34,159 do. I'm excited to see where they go with this. Will you here, 693 00:43:34,159 --> 00:43:37,239 I gets out? Yeah, will send us out where I'm hyped up. 694 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,400 I want the I want game one tomorrow. Now after this interview we've 695 00:43:40,599 --> 00:43:45,880 managed to get through the audio is well, you're one left. Will He's 696 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,519 too conscious of his background noise. I got, I got one. I 697 00:43:50,599 --> 00:43:53,639 got one lingering question, Brian. Yeah. I heard you on a podcast 698 00:43:53,679 --> 00:44:01,079 on a broadcast one time say that you don't like soup, any soup, 699 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:10,920 and Chauncey has never fixed movies like to eat. I'll tell you a podcast 700 00:44:12,519 --> 00:44:15,960 about what I will not eat, and soup is on that I don't. 701 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:22,639 It's no soup. No, it's chili soup. Chili's not chili's. It's 702 00:44:22,639 --> 00:44:24,960 just saying his favorite episode of Seinfeld. I think you know it. Yeah, 703 00:44:27,159 --> 00:44:30,719 I have. I've I eat chili. I'm telling you my diet is 704 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:36,239 brutal. It's it's awful in terms of what I won't eat and how limiting 705 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,960 it is. But I've never had chicken, noodle, soup, vegetable soup, 706 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:44,119 nothing, nothing, I won't. I just it's weird to me to 707 00:44:44,199 --> 00:44:46,880 eat. To eat liquid with a spoon is just bizarre to me. I 708 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:51,679 just don't understand it man, so soup with a straw yea or name. 709 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,159 Maybe it's I'll put that one in there. I'll put that one in there 710 00:44:57,199 --> 00:45:02,840 for a minute for min milkshake for the middle ground. Yeah, we love 711 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:07,519 Brian Stephen and despite the audio issues, this is, without a doubt, 712 00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:10,400 my favorite episode of C and D so far.
