Doome Thursday night for the christening, 42 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.000 the opening ceremony. Not only that you went to the 43 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.159 show afterwards, you saw the Bruno Mars show. I know 44 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.319 there was a hiccup. I want all the details on this. 45 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.599 Was it the face scan technology? Were they able to 46 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.759 rectify it in a swift manner. How did that go? 47 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:29.439 What was it like? 48 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.840 The experience in general was awesome. Man, that was my 49 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:40.960 second time that I had been into it. And yeah, 50 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.639 you just you just feel the presence of like the Clippers. 51 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:50.280 Even with a Bruno Mars concert, there was hiccups. It 52 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:52.919 had to do with the face scanning, and it just 53 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.199 really created like a little log diamer. That's all. It 54 00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:00.280 really was. Things that I feel will be so it 55 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.240 out by the by the opening night against the Suns. 56 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.159 But yeah, I was there. It was cool to see 57 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.039 some of the Clippers there. I mean, you you would 58 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.840 like to see like you know, Kawhi and Harden, but 59 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.560 some Clippers were there. You really felt what it meant 60 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.159 to be in that moment, right like it was a 61 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.919 landmark Dave for for Clipper fans and just the franchise 62 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.800 in general. And it was cool because you had that 63 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.879 part of things, and then you also had the people 64 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.360 who had no clue what the Clippers were, didn't even 65 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.639 care about the Clippers. They were like, it's Bruno. I'm 66 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.159 trying to hear twenty four carres in there. That's all 67 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.400 they cared about. So yeah, it was like a mix. 68 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.520 But I think the biggest takeaway was like everybody was like, 69 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.000 this arena is crazy. It's crazy, it's awesome. It still 70 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:56.919 has that new arena smell. Yeah I'm a Bruno Mars fan, 71 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:02.199 so that that added to it. But yeah, every time 72 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:03.599 I go back to the end of a dome, it 73 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.919 just kind of it's it's so crazy when you when 74 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.719 you factor in like where I sat to witness like 75 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.400 Clipper games and concerts the last few years, it's a 76 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.719 it's a difference. Man. The moment you sit in your chair, 77 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.560 You're like, wow, like this is this is new, this 78 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.839 is the fresh, this is invigorating. I had a great time, 79 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.519 and yeah, I'm planning to go back on the twenty third, 80 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.279 at least I'm trying. I'm trying to get off work now. 81 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.279 But uh yeah, no, I had a great time man. 82 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.720 And yeah, to answer the swiftly part, it was it 83 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.759 was pretty swift. When you're there, it doesn't feel as 84 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.879 swift because, like you know, you're standing in the line, 85 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.959 and as you're standing just more people are starting to come. 86 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.120 You would like for that process to be in and out. 87 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.920 But like I was talking with my brother about it, 88 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.639 and the second night of the Bruno Marsh concert, you 89 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.800 didn't hear much of that at all, And then he 90 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.519 had they had shows going on this past weekend. You 91 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.759 didn't hear anything about that at all. Olivia Rodrigo is 92 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.240 performing there tonight, so I'm assuming that's gonna go over 93 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.240 swiftly and well, So, yeah, I think that was kind 94 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.519 of like the first night thing. I mean, I know, 95 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.720 for me, I expected it because it's like a brand 96 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.560 new arena, a brand new app. Even just reading about it, right, 97 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.399 you're just like, what like face scanning, Like this is 98 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:28.439 how we're going to do things. It was a brand 99 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.879 new experience for me, So I I knew if I 100 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.560 was gonna have like some kind of trepidation regarding it, 101 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.360 it wouldn't surprise me that there would be hiccups alone way, 102 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.319 And I think Balmber kind of alluded to it during 103 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.160 the ribbon ceremony, if I'm not mistaken. So yeah, no, bro, 104 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:45.680 it was. It was great, man, it was great. 105 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.560 I can't wait to go back a little bit of 106 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.920 patience Clipper Nation, let him work out the kinks. But 107 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.079 by October twenty third, you would expect it to be 108 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.959 smoothed out for opening night against the Phoenix Suns. 109 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.160 It into its home. I need to know this. 110 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.000 I heard from Brian Seeman late night. He texted me 111 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.360 at midnight. It was madness. I can't wait to be 112 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:07.040 here for a basketball game. What was the sound? What 113 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.800 was the sound like in the building compared to Crypto, 114 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.759 compared to other venues. Maybe the Form, which I think 115 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.759 has really good sound, Crypto not so much. Once the 116 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.360 crowd fills in, it kind of muffles it. How was 117 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:25.399 the sound and into it though? It was a THHX quality. 118 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.600 Crystal clear and loud? I mean I don't I don't 119 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.759 really have like a deep dive on that. But other 120 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.560 than like, it's just loud and you feel you feel 121 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.879 it like it's it's a much closer I think you 122 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.759 just said it with the Form. I don't know. If 123 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.680 you've ever watched the show at the Form versus a 124 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.079 show at Crypto, you kind of can feel the difference, 125 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:52.959 much more intimate. Yeah, it's loud, man, it's jumping, and 126 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.319 even in that scenario, it's kind of like you I 127 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.560 don't know, because like you would you would would hope 128 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.879 that waiting outside uh to get in when damping things 129 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.680 for people and it didn't. They got in. Once Bruno 130 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.480 got on, it was loud. Man, that's that was just 131 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.879 like my biggest takeaway. It was super loud. So yeah, 132 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.839 what be Seen said is true. Man, I can just 133 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:21.040 imagine a Clipper game or a playoff game, especially like dude, like, 134 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.759 that's that's a real home court advantage right there. So yeah, no, 135 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:29.079 super loud, super crystal clear. I had a few drinks 136 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.079 in me, so you know, thank it with thank you 137 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.639 for how you want it. But no, it was loud 138 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:35.439 and it was great. 139 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.480 Did Bruno acknowledge the Clippers much? 140 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.279 Did he's say anything, Hey, I used to be a 141 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.439 fan of this team, but I might be converted to 142 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.959 the Clippers now or so. 143 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:49.759 He didn't. But what he did acknowledge is he acknowledged 144 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.279 in the middle of his show he was like, hold up, 145 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.519 hold up, that we're making California history. We just opened 146 00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.040 it endto a dome. I need everybody to go crazy. 147 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:02.120 Da da da, And then towards the end he acknowledged 148 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:05.120 he thanks Steve Balmer for giving him the opportunity to 149 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.040 open it to a So that was real cool, real cool. 150 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:10.720 How was the traffic on the way out? 151 00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.720 Where did you park and how quickly were you able 152 00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:16.519 to hit the freeway to get out of there. 153 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:25.399 It wasn't quick. Wasn't quick, but I haven't been so far. 154 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.839 But it wasn't like, I don't know, like it was 155 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.600 to be expected. It wasn't quick, but it wasn't like 156 00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:35.440 super drawn out. I don't I don't know that the 157 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.799 garage the name of the garage yet that I parked it, 158 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:44.039 but it's right by. Uh shit, I forgot. I parked 159 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:45.679 there for the tour that I. 160 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:47.320 Went on as well, the West Garage. 161 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.960 Maybe I think that's that might be what it is. 162 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.080 I would have to look at my emails. But no, 163 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.600 the traffic was was regular. 164 00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:58.039 I'll take that. 165 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:02.519 Yeah, like like it was, I don't know, like if 166 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.440 you've been to like a Dodger game, or even if 167 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.000 you've been to like a Clipper game, to a lesser extent, 168 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.559 like it's nothing like you can't manage like. I saw 169 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.559 that on Twitter as well, where people were just like, oh, 170 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.000 this is just gonna be super packed trying to get out. 171 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.559 I didn't experience that. I didn't experience that. It wasn't 172 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:23.440 like an in and out thing unless you decided to 173 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:27.080 like lead the concert early, but like, no, you it 174 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:28.639 was pretty pretty smooth, don't. 175 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.159 People got home in an orderly fashion, nothing too unusual 176 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:33.200 or out of the ordinary. 177 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:34.000 That's all we want. 178 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:35.120 That's all we want. 179 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.279 Uh. 180 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.440 What are some of the keys for you within too 181 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.159 a dome and the difference that's going to be made 182 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.639 there for Clipper Nation and experiencing basketball at this place. 183 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.320 For me, the biggest key is going to be the people, man, 184 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.919 because it falls on us as fans. To me, that's 185 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:02.320 the biggest key, right, Like Bomber has done its part right. 186 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:06.039 He's created a more h for lack of a better term, 187 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:09.200 but he made an environment where you could be more 188 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.159 into it. And once you once you get there, you'll 189 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.480 see it. Like even the super high not super high, 190 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.519 but like even the highest sections you feel like you're 191 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.480 much closer to the action than you would be at Crypto. 192 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:27.120 You've never experienced a basketball game the way you're going 193 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:31.039 to experience that into it. Just sitting in my seat 194 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.879 for the tour, I was like, wow, Like just the 195 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:40.320 halo is crazy, and yeah, like every seat in the 196 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:45.639 arena you feel like you're on top of the players 197 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.399 and it just really creates a home court advantage. You know, 198 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.159 we were saying it felt a little bit like the 199 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:57.879 Lone Beach Pyramid. The best ways I could explain it 200 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.240 is the Lone Beach Pyramid and combined with San Diego State, 201 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.240 combined with the Utah Jazz That's kind of how it 202 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.639 looked and felt with the arena. And yeah, I think 203 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.600 Valmer achieved what he set out to do, which was 204 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:16.799 create an environment that incites fans to want to be 205 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.399 a fan. And I think that's what's what it's going 206 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.039 to come down to. It's a state of the art, 207 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.759 billion dollars you go through, you can see your high 208 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.440 school on the wall, like it. It's crazy. You can 209 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.519 go on and on about all of the things and 210 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:32.159 all of the features of the arena, but if we 211 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.519 don't bring it as fans when it comes to providing 212 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.639 that home court advantage for the guys, and it's like, 213 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.879 you know, but I do think that's going to be 214 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.600 the biggest key fans night in and night out on 215 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:49.200 that Monday night versus the nets. Are you guys going 216 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.600 to come out and yell to the top of your lungs. 217 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:57.120 Because I'm a true believer in home court advantage. I've 218 00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:01.240 seen Clipper crowds at Crypto very underrated. So I'm excited 219 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.480 to see what a really good crowd at into It 220 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:08.320 is gonna look like. But yeah, it's gonna fall on 221 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.159 a fant of me. That's gonna be the most important thing. 222 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:14.120 I'm gonna make a prediction here based upon what you've said, 223 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.440 what I heard from Brian Seamen, what I saw when 224 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.000 I went and visited Okay, because Brian said they had 225 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.960 six thousand people there for a test run scattered throughout 226 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.000 the arena, which holds about eighteen thousand in full capacity. 227 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.600 He said, I believe the decibel level that it got 228 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:35.960 up to was one twenty one forty is a jet engine. 229 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.799 I remember it being one ten up at our Coole 230 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.120 Arena where I'm from back in the day during the 231 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.720 Cowbell days and the heyday for the Sacramento Kings was 232 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:44.639 see Webb in the curw. 233 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.840 It was definitely if six. 234 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.960 Thousand people can create one hundred and twenty decibels near 235 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:58.639 the floor, eighteen thousand, I'm gonna say this is gonna 236 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.639 end up being the new loudest arena when Clipper Nation 237 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.080 brings it, they're gonna be able to reach magnitudes and 238 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:09.200 sound decibels that we haven't heard even in places like 239 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:10.840 Okay See that are known. 240 00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:15.120 To be loud. I don't I don't disagree, and honestly, 241 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:16.960 I don't even think it's going to be that hard 242 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.559 of a feat as long as, like you said, the 243 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.720 fans bring it. It's like like the little stuff like 244 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:27.559 everybody knows now about how there's charges at every seat. 245 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:29.879 You go and get something to eat, the game clock 246 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:31.879 is right there learning you like, hey, you need to 247 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.200 get back to your seat. It's really a mecca for basketball. 248 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.360 It's really incites you to be a fan. And those 249 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.879 are things that have never pretty much ever been done 250 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.440 in a basketball arena. So yeah, no, I would see that, 251 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:51.519 and I don't disagree at all. I honestly would be 252 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.799 shocked if we weren't the lotest arena in the league. 253 00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.120 Hopefully our guys come through and provide the product on 254 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:03.639 the floor, because we do need that as well to 255 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:06.399 make it, you know, work between the fans and the players. 256 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:10.000 But no, if if the fans bring it, I don't 257 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.360 even think he's going to be close. Man, Like maybe 258 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.759 I'm gassing it a little bit, bro, but like he's 259 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.360 not lying. Like when I was at the Bruno Marshall, Bro, 260 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:23.200 it got so loud and I can just imagine how 261 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:27.840 mind you, this is a Clipper arena for like a 262 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:31.960 pop star, a Clipper arena for a Clippers basketball game. 263 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:33.480 So they had to reconfigure it. 264 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.679 The wall was down, they had to make it for 265 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.080 the concert right, right. 266 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:41.480 And so and then if I'm not mistaken, for the 267 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.679 concert venue, you do have to cut out a certain 268 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.679 amount of seats just for the same in a sense. 269 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.840 So yeah, man, there's nothing like a basketball venue, a 270 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.360 venue that was made for basketball and having that basketball 271 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.480 team that I just I just think this guy's the 272 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.840 limited in terms of noise noise, noise noise. 273 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.399 You know, I always say, bring the mother f and 274 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.200 ruckus come on. 275 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:08.200 Man, Like I always say. The loudest game that I've 276 00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.720 ever been to in my life was Game six in 277 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.480 the Semis in twenty twenty one versus a Jazz. I 278 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.360 was close enough to where it literally felt like the 279 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.159 ground was shaky and I can literally see the Jazz 280 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.159 players like, yeah, you're in. You're in some shit, you 281 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.679 know what I mean, Like like I think we can 282 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.279 eclipse that. So yeah, bro, I'm looking forward to him. Man, 283 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.600 I'm looking forward to him, and guy's the limit in 284 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.799 terms of the voice that the Clipper fans can bring. 285 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.559 For sure, I know a guy on good authority that 286 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:40.399 can back you up on that being one of the 287 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:44.720 loudest games ever at Crypto because big brother Jake Warner, 288 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:48.159 the head engineer for the Clippers radio station. He's also 289 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:49.480 worked for the Lakers in the past. 290 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.679 He has worked he continues to work with the La Kings. 291 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.000 He's seen Stanley Cup final games there, he has seen. 292 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.960 He was at Game seven Lakers Boston. 293 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:01.240 He said, the. 294 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.840 Only game he'll be on the pod soon. The only 295 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.799 game that was louder, that got louder in that arena 296 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.120 that he could remember was Kobe's final game again also 297 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.000 against Utah in twenty sixteen. 298 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:13.840 That's it. 299 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:17.320 That's it outside that it's game six, Clippers coming back 300 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.399 down twenty five. Terrence Man with thirty nine against Utah 301 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.879 to advanced in the Western Commerce Finals. 302 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.960 No, you know, to be fair, that was like the 303 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.759 first home game in which what was it like COVID 304 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:32.480 had kind of lifted a little bit and. 305 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:34.200 It still wasn't full capacity. 306 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:38.120 Yeah, yeah, that's it wasn't full capacity. But like I 307 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.200 just remember the Mavericks had like sell our crowds and 308 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:46.000 then we had like cut out cardboard fans and then 309 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.320 Game six was like the first game where we could 310 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.399 actually have like a decent showing in terms of fans, 311 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.759 and we brought it that night, and so yeah, I 312 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.120 think we can eclipse that easy so Withinto It. So yeah, 313 00:16:59.120 --> 00:16:59.879 I'm excited. Man. 314 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.639 I think I saw the cardboard cutout from three minutes 315 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:03.480 of a Baby and the jazz. 316 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:08.279 We're seeing some ghosts then too. That's an old weird rumor. Okay, okay, okay. 317 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:10.880 Jamal Christopher is our guest here on Clippers Talk. I'm 318 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.200 excited for this. I'm excited to have him tonight. We 319 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:15.079 still have a lot to get into here. I wanted 320 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.119 that first hand account of Into It during the first 321 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.960 concert with Bruno Mars. But I want to go back 322 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:24.960 a little bit further before we project and talk about 323 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:28.960 this season with some predictions here. Because you had been 324 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.119 for so long, Jamal one of the good soldiers for 325 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:38.920 Paul George, battling people online that were overly negative about him, 326 00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:43.880 talking about his inconsistencies, talking about his playoff lows. You 327 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.279 would stand up for him, and you would bring up 328 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:50.119 how nobody talks about Damian Lillard and some of his 329 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.240 playoff low points. Nobody talks about Jimmy Butler and that 330 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.039 series he had what in twenty one or twenty two 331 00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.559 against Milwaukee, and you would defend George. 332 00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:02.880 When did you turn? 333 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.480 Was it after the playoff series against Dallas where you 334 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.440 just couldn't defend it anymore? Or was it the day 335 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:13.400 of where after everyone knew he was leaving and it 336 00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:15.839 was obvious and the Clippers put out that statement that 337 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.759 they're no longer pursuing bringing back Paul George. You ethered 338 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:21.279 him on X something good. 339 00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:26.039 You can lie that was one. 340 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:28.599 Hey give yourself credit. 341 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:30.640 I have it. 342 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.240 I have it right here.
