00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into Clippers Talk. I'm Adam Osland, and all right,

2
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>giving the magnitude of our guests today, I'm gonna cut

3
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the shit and not get into a bunch of stuff,

4
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna tease out for later in the show.

5
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.599
<v Speaker 1>We're just gonna dive right in here as I'm joined

6
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:19.039
<v Speaker 1>by a comedian for the people who's genuine, relatable and

7
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.839
<v Speaker 1>down to earth, blue collar you could say, but hell no,

8
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about. Jeff Boxworthy joining the podcast right

9
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>now is one of our own Clipper Nation. He's a

10
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 1>Clipper super fan that we are lucky to have on

11
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>our side. Of course, you know him from shows like

12
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 1>The League, Human Giant, Beep, Black Monday, The Popular How

13
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.119
<v Speaker 1>Did This Get Made? Podcasts, and of course he's the

14
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 1>only legacy character. He's been in both Twister movies, some say. Plus,

15
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>he's got a New York Times best seller out titled

16
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.479
<v Speaker 1>Joyful Recollections of Trauma. It's the wonderfully talented Paul's here

17
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>joining me here on Clippers Talk. Paul, thanks so much

18
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 1>for doing this.

19
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 2>Adam, I am thrilled to be here, and I gotta

20
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.280
<v Speaker 2>tell you, you know, this is maybe the first time

21
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 2>that we've really talked talk to seeing each other of talk,

22
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 2>but you have accompanied my rides home from the stadium

23
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>in moments of joy and defeat. You have been a

24
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>consistent voice for me, and I just want to say

25
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 2>thank you. I think Clipper Nation need to say thank

26
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:20.760
<v Speaker 2>you for an even keeled voice in the times of

27
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>despair and even in the times of triumph. We have

28
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 2>to just ride. We got a long ride ahead of us,

29
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 2>and you are always guiding that train perfectly.

30
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, those times of despair are usually when I'm

31
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 1>talking to Sean from Englewood, so I appreciate the kind words.

32
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>We're hoping for better rides home this upcoming season. We're

33
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.879
<v Speaker 1>going to get into all of that, because if you

34
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 1>guys weren't familiar enough, Paul is a real hooper. He

35
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>knows ball. We were talking the DMS during the playoffs.

36
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 1>He has a high level basketball mind. So I'm gonna

37
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>pepper him with a ton of Clippers questions here. But

38
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I do want to start with your career, and I

39
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 1>want to start with the league.

40
00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Now.

41
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.799
<v Speaker 1>Admittedly I had a bit of a strain relationship with

42
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football and stop playing in two thousand and seven,

43
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 1>the scoring system. Oh yeah, yeah, you know, I would

44
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>say I started the rehabilitation a little bit sooner than

45
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>some maybe, Okay, but I didn't watch the show because

46
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I heard how good it was for my best friend,

47
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>who religiously watched it, and I was scared if I did,

48
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I'd get back on the train be addicted once again

49
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>to playing fantasy football and the scoring system, the head

50
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.199
<v Speaker 1>to head scoring system, I just hated. I couldn't take

51
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>it because I'd end up like thirteen points and then

52
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 1>still miss the playoffs somehow, Paul.

53
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Look, this is no nothing incap plated sports more than

54
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 2>fantasy football. Right. You could have everything on your side,

55
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.120
<v Speaker 2>one thing goes south and you're done. You're just done.

56
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>And you know, it's something that I have been doing

57
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.680
<v Speaker 2>now for a long time. I never played fantasy football

58
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 2>before the show started. Now I can't stop playing fantasy football,

59
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>mainly because people keep on asking me to be in

60
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:05.560
<v Speaker 2>their leagues. But it really there's so many variables to

61
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 2>this game, and it's not unlike it's not unlike basketball,

62
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 2>it's not unlike any sport where like it can go

63
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 2>south at a moment's notice. You could come in a

64
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 2>percentage point behind and lose that week. It's infuriating. It's frustrating.

65
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 2>You could have a great season and just have one

66
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.400
<v Speaker 2>weekend where somebody goes off and knocks you out of

67
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. It is a disgusting sport. And the worst

68
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 2>part about it is listening to other people talk about

69
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>it because it's it's so personal. It's like listening to

70
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody tell you their dreams. It only matters to you,

71
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 2>but we all can understand the pain and the anguish

72
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>of subbing. And thank god sleeper. I love the sleeper

73
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>app for Fantasy. Tried it for basketball, don't know how

74
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel about it, but love the sleeper app for NFL.

75
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 2>Now they have an auto sub, and thank God for

76
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.919
<v Speaker 2>auto sub. So now I don't have to worry if

77
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 2>if I woke up ten minutes later and somebody is

78
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.280
<v Speaker 2>inactive who was supposed to be active the entire week.

79
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Like finally, I have a little bit of like okay,

80
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.240
<v Speaker 2>like I can rest easy. But this is a panic

81
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 2>that just sets in and lives with me all year round.

82
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned you're in a few different leagues because people

83
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>ask you. You're probably too nice. I know, our guy

84
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Mockler has you in one of his leagues. How

85
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 1>many leagues are you in now? When you went from

86
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 1>none to what ten thousand?

87
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, I've cut it down in the years

88
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>that post week because honestly, at a certain point, I'm

89
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.399
<v Speaker 2>just I'm not there. I'm not mentally there. Plus, I

90
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 2>have two kids. I have an eight year old and

91
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.199
<v Speaker 2>a ten year old. I'm not sitting on the couch

92
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:42.399
<v Speaker 2>watching football all sunday. I would love to, It's not

93
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.639
<v Speaker 2>an option that's afforded to me as a parent. I

94
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.480
<v Speaker 2>gotta go out. I'm going to soccer games, I'm going

95
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 2>to basketball tournaments. I'm out and about. I'm not like

96
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not gonna come home and watch them on tape.

97
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 2>So I'm really like, it's not like Clippers. My wife,

98
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 2>my kids like Clippers. They'll let me get away with

99
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 2>that football. I can't just be like. So my knowledge

100
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.800
<v Speaker 2>of football has suffered for sure. I have like ct

101
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.160
<v Speaker 2>from playing fantasy. So I think I'm about I'm in

102
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.959
<v Speaker 2>about like five leagues now, four or five. Yes, man,

103
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>you know some are gonna like. But my only requirement

104
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 2>now is if you're you have to be on the

105
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 2>sleeper app for me to join your thing. Because I

106
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.639
<v Speaker 2>can't be jumping around to Yahoo and then going over

107
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>to ESPN and then no one stop shopping for me

108
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>is what I need?

109
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.639
<v Speaker 1>So I think you had people hooked with the league

110
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 1>starting with the Eskimo Brothers.

111
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.399
<v Speaker 2>What Yeah, When did you know you.

112
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Had something special here that could last seven seasons?

113
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 2>You know? It was always something in the back of

114
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 2>my mind that I had confidence in because the creators

115
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.279
<v Speaker 2>of the show, Jeff Shaffer and Jackie Marcus Shaffer, they're

116
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 2>married couple, both brilliant writers, but Jeffy come out of

117
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Seinfeld and Curb, and his approach to the show was

118
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 2>very similar to Curb, just having a great premise, you know,

119
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>terms like the Eskimo Brothers and stuff like that, and

120
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 2>then letting us improvise around it. So we really got

121
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>to bring a lot of ourselves to it. But then

122
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>when you look at like the work that He's come

123
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 2>from and Jackie come from this giant comedy movie background,

124
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.319
<v Speaker 2>they were they had the football goods and they had

125
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.959
<v Speaker 2>the comedy goods, and very rarely do those two paths

126
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of cross. I've seen a lot of mediocre fantasy

127
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 2>football comedy content, so I felt like when I knew

128
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 2>something happened was in the second season because everyone had

129
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 2>watched the first season on Netflix and after we had

130
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 2>already been off the air, and it felt like there

131
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 2>was an energy Oh when you guys coming back, when

132
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.000
<v Speaker 2>you're coming back so much so that when it hits

133
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 2>like August September, everyone seems to be rewatching it again,

134
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.839
<v Speaker 2>which is which is something I love. You know, it

135
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 2>really is truly a show that I love doing. I

136
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 2>love that cast. I miss it. But we kind of

137
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.160
<v Speaker 2>got out when the getting was good. It was in

138
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.240
<v Speaker 2>a little dark in the football world for a bit,

139
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.040
<v Speaker 2>like it was Goodell, you know, look, there's a lot

140
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>of things going on, and you know, I think the

141
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.920
<v Speaker 2>last season had me reenacting like a fight that ray

142
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 2>Rice had with his girlfriend and an elevator in Las Vegas.

143
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I don't know. Now, we got out before

144
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.600
<v Speaker 2>we had to make any comment that we might regret

145
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>about Colin Kaepernick, Like, like, I feel like we we

146
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 2>avoided some of the bigger controversies that happened for a

147
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>couple of years there.

148
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>How do you guys take me behind the scenes a

149
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit with that process of scripted but semi scripted

150
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.879
<v Speaker 1>where you're still ad libbing a lot. How does that work?

151
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>How do you find that balance? I guess, well, you know, it's.

152
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.439
<v Speaker 2>An interesting way of doing a show. It actually is

153
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 2>something that that is not really done. You know, it's

154
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 2>basically Curb in the League and maybe like a little

155
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:56.600
<v Speaker 2>bit of Reno NW one one. We're really base in this.

156
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.560
<v Speaker 2>But I would almost say that Curb in the League

157
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 2>fall in different category because they are tightly scripted episodes

158
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.680
<v Speaker 2>as far as what is the plot, who's in this scene,

159
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.120
<v Speaker 2>where are we going? Like the episodes. You know, I've

160
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.560
<v Speaker 2>written a handful of League episodes, and it was harder

161
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.959
<v Speaker 2>to write than an actual script because what you really

162
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.800
<v Speaker 2>had to do was create enough stuff so the actors

163
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>myself included, when you got on set you had enough

164
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.399
<v Speaker 2>to work off of, but also not enough that you

165
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 2>couldn't go off and explore tangents like stuff like I

166
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:30.240
<v Speaker 2>think in like like I think I did this thing

167
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:32.279
<v Speaker 2>about like oh I'm Jack the Ripper, I'm cutting up

168
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 2>losers and stuff like that's not in the script, but

169
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:36.039
<v Speaker 2>then we get to go off on that or like

170
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 2>there was a thing where I'm running a marathon. Now,

171
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:39.879
<v Speaker 2>like when I said I'm running a marathon, They're like, oh,

172
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.879
<v Speaker 2>what a marathon. That bit was in the script. But

173
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 2>then because I had this prop in my pocket called

174
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:49.399
<v Speaker 2>like like, it was like it was a gunk or

175
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 2>junk like and I was born junk a spunk in

176
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.519
<v Speaker 2>my mouth, like that became a thing that we would

177
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.639
<v Speaker 2>run with. So really it was like if you just

178
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.759
<v Speaker 2>improvise the beats that were in the exact script, not

179
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.000
<v Speaker 2>the lines, because there were really no lines. There was

180
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.120
<v Speaker 2>more of a suggestion of dialogue. You would have a

181
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.159
<v Speaker 2>really funny script, but the power of the show was

182
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.480
<v Speaker 2>having a really funny outline that then we could expand

183
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:17.080
<v Speaker 2>and find different things on. Sometimes we'd stay very clean

184
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.200
<v Speaker 2>to script. Other times we'd go off on these big tangents,

185
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.759
<v Speaker 2>and then those tangents would actually develop into other plotlines.

186
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Like there was a joke I made one time with

187
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:28.039
<v Speaker 2>one of the girls in the show, the young girl,

188
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and I said, she said, oh, you're bald. I'm like, actually,

189
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm not bald. I have clear hair. It was just

190
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.200
<v Speaker 2>like a joke that I made to make Jeff and

191
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Jackie laugh, and then they left that in the show,

192
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 2>and then like five episodes later that is now a

193
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.240
<v Speaker 2>part of my character. So that was something that was

194
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 2>really funny, Like they would really always be incorporating stuff

195
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.720
<v Speaker 2>that we used into the show, and it was this

196
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.720
<v Speaker 2>really amazing process, and you never knew what they were

197
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 2>going to use until you WoT to show that weekend

198
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:02.720
<v Speaker 2>or you know, that Wednesday, or whenever it came out.

199
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:04.159
<v Speaker 2>You'd be like, oh, well they use that instead of that,

200
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh they should have used this. There's so much stuff

201
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.440
<v Speaker 2>that was, you know, on the editing room floor. If

202
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>you ever got the DVDs, you'd see tons of extended

203
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:13.879
<v Speaker 2>episodes and deleted scenes.

204
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of DVDs, I feel like some are missing from

205
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>your catalog. I'm still trying to find Human Giant Volume

206
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>two stuff in high quality, because I swear to God,

207
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 1>the rob hu will skit where he cut his junk

208
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.559
<v Speaker 1>off for social media cloud. I know where I was,

209
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I know who I watched that with the first time.

210
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Like that is probably one of the funniest things I've

211
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 1>ever seen in my life.

212
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:39.960
<v Speaker 2>And it's hard to find. It's incredibly hard to find.

213
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we're in this world right now where if

214
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 2>you're if you're even a casual fan of Hollywood, you

215
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:52.279
<v Speaker 2>will know that these big streamers are essentially just big

216
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.639
<v Speaker 2>corporations that are looking to cut costs wherever they can.

217
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.759
<v Speaker 2>So you have a show like Willow on Disney Plus,

218
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:02.279
<v Speaker 2>a week after it finishes airing, they pull it off

219
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.159
<v Speaker 2>Disney Plus. You can't get it anywhere else. It's just

220
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 2>gone or raised from existence. And you know, we were

221
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a victim of that because they

222
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:14.759
<v Speaker 2>offered us a third season. Aziz had gotten parks and

223
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:16.720
<v Speaker 2>rec we were a little bit nervous about, well, do

224
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.879
<v Speaker 2>we have enough to do a third season? We said no,

225
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.519
<v Speaker 2>and they said, all right, well we're gonna pull off

226
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:25.120
<v Speaker 2>season two. So season two is lost to the masses,

227
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:29.200
<v Speaker 2>but we have the masters. We recently found them in

228
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 2>a storage closet on Broadway in fifty second Street. But

229
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.240
<v Speaker 2>we were hoping that, you know, like a place like

230
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Shout Factory that does like these amazing re releases of

231
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>like UHF and stuff like that will come and we

232
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:49.320
<v Speaker 2>could actually put together like a definitive Blu Ray Season

233
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.279
<v Speaker 2>one season two. I keep on saying it until somebody

234
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:54.840
<v Speaker 2>hears it, but we're going to try to really release

235
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>it and give it its proper due with tons of

236
00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 2>extra stuff that we have.

237
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Let them know because it is a legendary sketch comedy show.

238
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Those who saw it remember it. Well, it's interesting you

239
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>bring that up, and it's hard to find. I'm a weirdo,

240
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.159
<v Speaker 1>so I get upset when I hear like music overdubbed,

241
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.480
<v Speaker 1>of this generic stuff over DVDs because they couldn't get

242
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the royalties for the original music on like a d

243
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Austin's Creek episode or something.

244
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Even that bothers me. Well, here's the thing, and the State,

245
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 2>the sketch comedy show. The State fell victim to that.

246
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:31.559
<v Speaker 2>So when you watch their show, it's completely overdubbed. They're

247
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.919
<v Speaker 2>even dubbing their voices because they were mixed in with

248
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:38.440
<v Speaker 2>the music. It's a mess. We came in at Human

249
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Giant right at the time of iTunes starting and YouTube starting,

250
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.840
<v Speaker 2>and there was a big mandate you have to clear

251
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:49.600
<v Speaker 2>all your music. So everything that we have is completely cleared.

252
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:52.879
<v Speaker 2>It is completely free and legally we own it. It's

253
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the right We did it the right way, and we

254
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:57.200
<v Speaker 2>still can't get it out. But I know what you're saying.

255
00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Like shows like Moonlighting and SETV, they all kind of

256
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.360
<v Speaker 2>fall into this. They did for a long time into

257
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.840
<v Speaker 2>this category where you. Yeah, you had to change everything,

258
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:10.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, so you have that, you have shows just

259
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.519
<v Speaker 2>being disappeared, to mean, even Black Monday, which is a

260
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:16.120
<v Speaker 2>show we did for three seasons on Showtime. When Showtime folded,

261
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Black Monday just went away. I mean, hopefully we'll go

262
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 2>to Hulu, We'll go to Netflix. But it was one

263
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:24.840
<v Speaker 2>of those it's a bummer because it's a great show

264
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 2>with great guests, and you know, going back to great guests,

265
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.879
<v Speaker 2>a Human Giant we had everybody will aren't at Michael Sarah,

266
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Fred Armissen, Andy Samberg, Like we were packing that show

267
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.000
<v Speaker 2>with like all these amazing comedy people. So even from

268
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.600
<v Speaker 2>that perspective, when you look at it, you're like, holy shit,

269
00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:43.279
<v Speaker 2>these guys really like we did. We hosted MTV for

270
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hours and people were just coming in that

271
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.240
<v Speaker 2>were just watching live on TV in their hotel rooms,

272
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.639
<v Speaker 2>like it was. John Krazinski came in and took the

273
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.759
<v Speaker 2>studio hostage. We had bands like masted On playing, and

274
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.679
<v Speaker 2>we had like actors from the Wire just because we

275
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.840
<v Speaker 2>liked the Wire. You know, it was it was a

276
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:00.039
<v Speaker 2>real wild.

277
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:04.799
<v Speaker 1>Time hashtag Human Giant Forever. And then the movie that

278
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>could have been the laptop gets stolen multiple times.

279
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.879
<v Speaker 2>My gosh, yeah, you know the store. This is a

280
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.039
<v Speaker 2>nuts story. So you know, one of our fans of

281
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:18.960
<v Speaker 2>the show was Ben Stiller and this producer that Ben

282
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:21.720
<v Speaker 2>worked with, Mike Rosenstein. He's amazing. He produces the Eric

283
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Andre Show. Now made this great movie called Have a

284
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Good Trip, all about like LSD and mushrooms, and Mike

285
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:31.399
<v Speaker 2>showed it to Ben. Ben was like, we are one

286
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.440
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent on board. Whatever you guys want to do,

287
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.960
<v Speaker 2>let's go do it. And we had this idea, like

288
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:39.600
<v Speaker 2>a an idea that took place at a comic con

289
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.360
<v Speaker 2>where you know, I played my own twin Rob was

290
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:47.559
<v Speaker 2>like a like a Michael Knight from Night Writer type

291
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:51.840
<v Speaker 2>of like David Hasselff kind of hacked an actor and

292
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:55.080
<v Speaker 2>it was just kind of like heist and in kind

293
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.799
<v Speaker 2>of a little bit of like using internet fame to

294
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.200
<v Speaker 2>get back in the good races of America. So that

295
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.519
<v Speaker 2>was like the plan and asas was kind of behind

296
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.240
<v Speaker 2>this big giant issue that we had.

297
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's a damn shame the what If series?

298
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, and it got And so both times we've

299
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.080
<v Speaker 2>written a bunch our laptop got stolen and this is

300
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:17.320
<v Speaker 2>again before the iCloud and all this sort of stuff,

301
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:19.600
<v Speaker 2>like we didn't back anything up, we lost it. So

302
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>then we got another computer started doing it, and then

303
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:26.120
<v Speaker 2>our director's car got broken into and that loptop was stolen,

304
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:27.679
<v Speaker 2>and we're like, all right, if this start has been

305
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:29.919
<v Speaker 2>stolen twice, maybe it wasn't the movie for us to do.

306
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.679
<v Speaker 1>This is fair. The movie gods have spoken here. Yeah,

307
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.879
<v Speaker 1>the podcast gods have spoken, and they have declared how

308
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 1>did this get made to be one of the greatest

309
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>shows of all time? Oh? Earlier today I'm listening to

310
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 1>because I watched a lot of stupid movies, like you

311
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:49.519
<v Speaker 1>guys doing the Room, and I know you have a

312
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:53.559
<v Speaker 1>virtual live tour right now, and Troll two's coming up

313
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.080
<v Speaker 1>on Friday, which of course is an all timer that

314
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.559
<v Speaker 1>you're doing. I was listening to Shark Attack three meg ladon.

315
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I think you're.

316
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Alive internationally over in Europe for that one.

317
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, what a poll by you guys.

318
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

319
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, well, you know, actually that was a

320
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:10.919
<v Speaker 2>all right. So we have an amazing producer. Her name

321
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.320
<v Speaker 2>is April Hallie. She has been finding these movies for us. Now.

322
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:18.960
<v Speaker 2>The interesting thing about that that Shark Attack three that

323
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.639
<v Speaker 2>was actually in the States. But here's the thing that

324
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:25.759
<v Speaker 2>was interesting. It was the only show that we ever

325
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.919
<v Speaker 2>have done where we were a part of a festival.

326
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.000
<v Speaker 2>So people weren't buying tickets to come see how did

327
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.480
<v Speaker 2>this get made? They were just coming to see a show.

328
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.480
<v Speaker 2>And I think they saw, Oh, it's Jason Manzukis, it's

329
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.799
<v Speaker 2>June Diane Rayfield, it's Paul Sheer, let's go see this

330
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.919
<v Speaker 2>comedy show. And we were so nervous, right, I don't know,

331
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.440
<v Speaker 2>like what this is. We we did a little informal

332
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.919
<v Speaker 2>poll like the audience. It was like, you know, of

333
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.759
<v Speaker 2>the small house as far as how many people could

334
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.360
<v Speaker 2>actually even fit in there. And I would say like

335
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.759
<v Speaker 2>one third of the audience knew what the show was.

336
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.320
<v Speaker 2>The rest of them did it. And we're like, oh man,

337
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:58.679
<v Speaker 2>we got to walk them through Shark Attack three. Thank god.

338
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Shark Attack three is pretty easy to explain. Tsunami happens,

339
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Sharks get stuck in a supermarket. There's your movie, and

340
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.200
<v Speaker 2>then a bunch of supermarket workers, including a a guy

341
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:16.200
<v Speaker 2>who's holding a supermarket up for ransom or taking you know,

342
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:18.599
<v Speaker 2>stealing the cash registers. Is in there as well, wild

343
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:20.079
<v Speaker 2>movie absurd.

344
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I would like to pitch you something since I have

345
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:27.200
<v Speaker 1>you locked in the elevator for a second. I would

346
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:31.119
<v Speaker 1>love to hear a how did this get made? Type

347
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:34.759
<v Speaker 1>of episode regarding a Clippers roster, maybe, like how did

348
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:38.319
<v Speaker 1>this team get put together? Why are they drafting all

349
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.240
<v Speaker 1>over Candy? Why is Pete Chill cut on this team?

350
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Brian? Like, what are we doing? Guys? I don't know.

351
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:47.839
<v Speaker 2>Here was the thing. Here's what I'll say about that.

352
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.039
<v Speaker 2>It would we would have the same amount of confusion

353
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.200
<v Speaker 2>as we did about Shark Attack Free. Like sometimes there

354
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.799
<v Speaker 2>are no good answers to these questions like this is it? Like,

355
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's amazing. I came from New York. I

356
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:03.839
<v Speaker 2>grew up in New York. I was a Knicks fan

357
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.119
<v Speaker 2>my entire life. Came out to LA and really wanted

358
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.720
<v Speaker 2>to have a team that I would you know, that

359
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:11.559
<v Speaker 2>would be a part of my life as I lived

360
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:13.319
<v Speaker 2>out here. I knew I wasn't going to go back

361
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 2>and wanted my kids to be invested in the team.

362
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:19.200
<v Speaker 2>And you know, so I got involved with the Clippers,

363
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:22.200
<v Speaker 2>but I had no knowledge of like their history. I

364
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.039
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, I like Blake Griffin. He seems cool.

365
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.000
<v Speaker 2>This is interesting, Like you know, there was like a

366
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:31.359
<v Speaker 2>newness to it. And man, when I read The Curse,

367
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.200
<v Speaker 2>that is a that book is just I mean that

368
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.240
<v Speaker 2>is talking about it. I mean that is a how

369
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.880
<v Speaker 2>to this get made? Of the Clippers? The every element

370
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:41.839
<v Speaker 2>of it is like I had to put it down

371
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.519
<v Speaker 2>at points back. I can't take any more of this.

372
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.079
<v Speaker 2>This is just It is a tragedy. I mean, this

373
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:51.799
<v Speaker 2>is put this up next to like Shakespeare's greatest works.

374
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.039
<v Speaker 1>It seemed to be cruel and unusual punishment until Steve

375
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:58.119
<v Speaker 1>Balmer came along with this scene. In the last ten years,

376
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:00.000
<v Speaker 1>he has them pointed in the right direct.

377
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:02.200
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned coming over from New York.

378
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Did you have to shed any past fan ships or

379
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.680
<v Speaker 1>allegiances to the Knicks or the Nets, or was it

380
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:09.000
<v Speaker 1>that easy to come as a no?

381
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, I will always be a Knicks fan

382
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:15.400
<v Speaker 2>at heart in the sense that I love the Knicks.

383
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:17.039
<v Speaker 2>I grew up with the Knicks. But I love like

384
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:22.359
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Ewing, John Starks, you know, Charles Oakley, like that

385
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.799
<v Speaker 2>those were my Knicks, right, I love like that team

386
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:30.880
<v Speaker 2>was amazing, and then the Knicks kind of did that

387
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:36.240
<v Speaker 2>thing to me. That almost it's almost an unlike. Well,

388
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.039
<v Speaker 2>it's interesting because it's very similar to the Clippers. You know,

389
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:43.799
<v Speaker 2>you have this weird owner that's kind of manipulating things.

390
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes they're reaching the right way, sometimes they're not. They're

391
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.960
<v Speaker 2>so close, they're so far away. And it was a given,

392
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:50.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, give and take. And I thought when I

393
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:53.359
<v Speaker 2>came to LA that, oh the Clippers, what what a relief.

394
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:57.079
<v Speaker 2>They're on the upward. You know, got Doc, got Blake,

395
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:01.519
<v Speaker 2>We're going and and you know, still there were some issues.

396
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.480
<v Speaker 2>You know. The one that I have had the hardest

397
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:08.839
<v Speaker 2>time kicking ultimately is the Jets. I haven't really found

398
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:14.400
<v Speaker 2>my team. My kids love the Kansas City Chiefs, so

399
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I'm a Chiefs fan. I'll be a Chiefs fan.

400
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:19.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't have an LA team. I would like to

401
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:24.079
<v Speaker 2>have an LA team. My wife won't let me root

402
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:28.200
<v Speaker 2>from Matt Stafford because he didn't like Matt the way

403
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.559
<v Speaker 2>that Matt Stafford laughed when that purporter fell off stage

404
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:32.599
<v Speaker 2>after they won the Super Bowl. Like She's like, Noah,

405
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.839
<v Speaker 2>I can't room for that guy. So we are a

406
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:37.799
<v Speaker 2>little teamless. But Aaron Rodgers, you know, look, I could

407
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:40.759
<v Speaker 2>check in on the Jets like Aaron Rodgers perfect example, like,

408
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:43.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, just like that's Jets in a nutshell from

409
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:47.839
<v Speaker 2>Gino Smith and every person that was going to be

410
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:51.279
<v Speaker 2>something it turned out to be nothing. And I was

411
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:53.400
<v Speaker 2>a Yankee fan growing up. But Yankees now I feel

412
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:56.960
<v Speaker 2>like it's too cliche to even like because when I

413
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:00.160
<v Speaker 2>was growing up, it was like Dave Winfield and Don

414
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.720
<v Speaker 2>and and you know, it's like and it wasn't like

415
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:04.880
<v Speaker 2>the you know, and then of course it became like

416
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:07.680
<v Speaker 2>the Derek Jeter. But now it's like, oh, it's it's

417
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.119
<v Speaker 2>like the Lakers. The Lakers of baseball is the Yankees,

418
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, And so it's hard to be like, I'm

419
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:16.119
<v Speaker 2>a Yankees fan baseball kind of an I'm out the

420
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:16.559
<v Speaker 2>door on.

421
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Is it strange at all? Have you caught any agree

422
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:23.720
<v Speaker 1>for taking any s from Lakers fans celebrity friends, because

423
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:26.759
<v Speaker 1>the majority of them are Lakers fans. Here, if you

424
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.599
<v Speaker 1>are famous in LA, you're a Laker fan. You're not

425
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:33.440
<v Speaker 1>with the Clippers. How's that relationship been like for you?

426
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:35.319
<v Speaker 1>Have you had any interesting interactions?

427
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:39.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, when my when the Clippers do something that

428
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:43.319
<v Speaker 2>is bad or bad to my Laker fan friends, I

429
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:46.920
<v Speaker 2>get my phone's blowing up everything. You know, it's like

430
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:50.519
<v Speaker 2>what you signed hard and what you got Westbrook like

431
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:53.920
<v Speaker 2>that kind of you know, everyone's got a pipe in,

432
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:58.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, even like Bomber says, there's too many yurinals.

433
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:01.599
<v Speaker 2>What you know, it's like it's anything to engage and

434
00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:05.480
<v Speaker 2>enrage me. I will say this in the comedy scene,

435
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.519
<v Speaker 2>there are a lot of Clippers fans. I think that's

436
00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:13.839
<v Speaker 2>because comedy people are underdogs. They root for the underdogs.

437
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:17.240
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to root for like the the jock, right,

438
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:19.119
<v Speaker 2>you want to be the person who kind of comes up.

439
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:22.759
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I've said too much. I'm gonna keep

440
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:24.480
<v Speaker 2>on repeating it because people hate it when I say it.

441
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:28.799
<v Speaker 2>But I would say this, the Lakers are a Hollywood

442
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:33.799
<v Speaker 2>team and the Clippers are an LA team, and and

443
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:35.680
<v Speaker 2>there is I think there's a truth to that. I

444
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:39.200
<v Speaker 2>think even now at the into a dome like that

445
00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:42.759
<v Speaker 2>is I think very much what we're trying, what we're

446
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:45.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of pulling across, it's like it it does feel

447
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:47.160
<v Speaker 2>like you're going to a movie premiere. Sometimes when you

448
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:49.240
<v Speaker 2>go to the Lakers games, they drop the curtains. You're

449
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:52.960
<v Speaker 2>watching a trailer for you know, you know whatever some

450
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.920
<v Speaker 2>you know Michael Bischer battleship too, you know. And and

451
00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.160
<v Speaker 2>then meanwhile you have the Clippers who you go to

452
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:01.920
<v Speaker 2>into a dome and they have every jersey of every

453
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.839
<v Speaker 2>like high school squad and and you know, you have

454
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.319
<v Speaker 2>Bomber like working about buses and getting people into the

455
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:11.759
<v Speaker 2>stadium in thirty dollars seats and about the fans. They're

456
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:16.359
<v Speaker 2>redoing the the the parks across the country, like you know,

457
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:19.720
<v Speaker 2>I've made across LA. It's like they're investing in LA

458
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:21.359
<v Speaker 2>and I think that that actually is paying off huge

459
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:22.680
<v Speaker 2>dividends with kids and everything.

460
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it feels like a ground roots movement. We know

461
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:28.119
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers have the past, who's going to have the future.

462
00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:29.759
<v Speaker 1>And with the Clippers having their own home now with

463
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.039
<v Speaker 1>into a dome, I believe I had some intel on this.

464
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>You've gotten a tour, a private tour of into a dome?

465
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:37.359
<v Speaker 1>Is that has that occurred yet?

466
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, like so I not as so much a private tour,

467
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:43.279
<v Speaker 2>but I got to be at the end of a

468
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:46.480
<v Speaker 2>dome the night that it opened, the Bruno Mars night,

469
00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:49.920
<v Speaker 2>so I got there before anyone was let in and

470
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:55.680
<v Speaker 2>to see it completely like literally completely empty, but ready,

471
00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:01.160
<v Speaker 2>like ready to go was a mind blown experience. You know,

472
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:04.279
<v Speaker 2>of course check out my seats, my season tickets. I

473
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:09.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, I love the club level stuff. I the screen,

474
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:17.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't I can't express to you why it's so amazing,

475
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:24.039
<v Speaker 2>but holy cow, when you see that screen, it is unbelievable.

476
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:26.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't like it sounds silly, like

477
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:28.119
<v Speaker 2>when I heard people talking about the screen, Oh, the

478
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:30.200
<v Speaker 2>screen and the screen, like, yeah, who cares the screen?

479
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:33.160
<v Speaker 2>I've been to Doubt, I've been to the Cowboys Stadium.

480
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:35.839
<v Speaker 2>I've seen that screen is unlike anything I've ever seen.

481
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:40.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the clarity, it's close, it's small, it's intimate,

482
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:43.319
<v Speaker 2>the remote controls and the like. Everything is done to perfection.

483
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:47.119
<v Speaker 2>And I love that they are just rocking through concerts

484
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 2>right now to get it ready. Like I feel like

485
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:51.119
<v Speaker 2>by game day it's everything's gonna be ironed out and

486
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:51.559
<v Speaker 2>ready to go.

487
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.559
<v Speaker 1>It's almost feeling like augmented reality, like we have some

488
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:57.960
<v Speaker 1>other lens when we go into that arena and we're

489
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:01.160
<v Speaker 1>seeing something that is not supposed to be real. But

490
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:03.279
<v Speaker 1>caliper Nation is benefiting.

491
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.400
<v Speaker 2>When I got a last year, maybe two years ago,

492
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.960
<v Speaker 2>my friend Phil Lord, who you often will see court

493
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:15.759
<v Speaker 2>side there Lord Miller. They you know, Lego movie twenty one,

494
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Jump Street, Spider Verse. They invited him because he has

495
00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:23.640
<v Speaker 2>these amazing seats to take a look at the boxes,

496
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:26.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, at the into a Dome. So they basically

497
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.279
<v Speaker 2>created an into a dome across the street from Crypto

498
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.319
<v Speaker 2>and you could walk around and that was really interesting

499
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:36.200
<v Speaker 2>because you know, they're selling this high level boxes and

500
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.440
<v Speaker 2>what you saw on there was I mean, it really

501
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:41.119
<v Speaker 2>blew my mind and it got me excited about this

502
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:44.519
<v Speaker 2>world that Bomber was building because the person said, you know,

503
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Steve Bomber is the type of guy where you'll say,

504
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:49.519
<v Speaker 2>well this, we love this, and we also love this,

505
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:52.839
<v Speaker 2>like pick one, and he's like both. And that's what

506
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:54.400
<v Speaker 2>it feels like. When you're in the into a Dome.

507
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:57.200
<v Speaker 2>It's like, oh, it's not like no expense was spared.

508
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:00.119
<v Speaker 2>It was like no two expenses were spared. Like every

509
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.599
<v Speaker 2>thing feels like it's this and that, you know, And

510
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's what is kind of overwhelming about it,

511
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:09.319
<v Speaker 2>but also incredibly personal and small and fun.

512
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:13.960
<v Speaker 1>He's delivered on everything within his control. There's nothing you

513
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:15.720
<v Speaker 1>can do about some of the injury luck the Clippers

514
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.440
<v Speaker 1>have had, but when it is in their control, I

515
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.720
<v Speaker 1>feel like they have had this franchise you know, at

516
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 1>the top when it comes to taking care of the

517
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:25.759
<v Speaker 1>fans here, I want to get you.

518
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I will say this taking care of the players, Like again,

519
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:32.359
<v Speaker 2>injury things are out of our control. But practice facilities,

520
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:35.240
<v Speaker 2>the way that they built this facility, the stuff they

521
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:37.039
<v Speaker 2>have there, Like you know, when you talk to like

522
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:39.880
<v Speaker 2>people like Reggie Jackson would say, like what goes on

523
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:42.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, behind the scenes in that you know, Like

524
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:45.279
<v Speaker 2>it sounds silly to say, but like every type of

525
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:46.960
<v Speaker 2>peanut butter you would possibly want when you make a

526
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 2>peanut butter and jelly, these small things that I think

527
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:53.279
<v Speaker 2>make a huge difference to players, like like it makes

528
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:57.160
<v Speaker 2>you not only you know, it's a reason to play there,

529
00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:58.720
<v Speaker 2>it's a reason to do it for me. I know,

530
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:00.799
<v Speaker 2>when I get to work on a set that's got

531
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:03.480
<v Speaker 2>great stuff, it's like it just makes the entire experience

532
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:05.799
<v Speaker 2>more enjoyable. And when you're busting your ass like these

533
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:08.039
<v Speaker 2>guys are, to also be taken care of on that

534
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:09.480
<v Speaker 2>level too, is pretty amazing.

535
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Great selling point for free agents and Clippers. I hear

536
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the uh, the road locker room team is actually well

537
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:20.000
<v Speaker 1>taken care of too.

538
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of course, because that's that's how you do your fishing,

539
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:27.759
<v Speaker 2>right You get people go, oh man, what's going on here? Right?

540
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Like and and of course it would be it's only

541
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:36.160
<v Speaker 2>smart to really take care of both sides because you like,

542
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:38.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, Bomber can't go out, no one can make

543
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.640
<v Speaker 2>a you can go out and say, oh hey, come

544
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:43.440
<v Speaker 2>over to us, come come play, you know whatever it is,

545
00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:46.240
<v Speaker 2>but you can show them what it would be like,

546
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:47.200
<v Speaker 2>you know.

547
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Not tampering, just to have locker room for the road

548
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.799
<v Speaker 1>team exactly speaking about this Clippers team, what's to come

549
00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:58.480
<v Speaker 1>this season? But also I want to go back a

550
00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:01.160
<v Speaker 1>little bit because my last episode we were talking a

551
00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:03.480
<v Speaker 1>lot about Paul George in recent comments he made or

552
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:06.000
<v Speaker 1>his father made on podcast P and some of the

553
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:09.319
<v Speaker 1>disappointing comments he made regarding them being the B team

554
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:11.880
<v Speaker 1>in LA.

555
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:16.759
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you this, you will not find a

556
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:20.880
<v Speaker 2>bigger PG defender. I love PG. I think that PG

557
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:26.000
<v Speaker 2>stepped up when Kawhi went down. I thought PG took

558
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the leadership role on his back. He led the team,

559
00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:33.359
<v Speaker 2>made people play well, He had an energy, he had

560
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:38.279
<v Speaker 2>fun I was a supporter of PG. Were there issues

561
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.720
<v Speaker 2>with him, absolutely, like anybody right, No one's perfect, right.

562
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:44.279
<v Speaker 2>But he did his job. I thought he was a

563
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:50.319
<v Speaker 2>team player. Everything that he has done in this offseason

564
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:57.480
<v Speaker 2>has soured me so greatly on him because it's revisionist history.

565
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I know as a podcast P fan, he's gonna talk

566
00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:05.759
<v Speaker 2>some stuff, and you would say, like PG, go to

567
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:08.880
<v Speaker 2>media training, figure out what your thing is, because here's

568
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:09.279
<v Speaker 2>the thing.

569
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:10.440
<v Speaker 1>LA.

570
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:15.839
<v Speaker 2>We're chill, it's cool, nice weather, weed is available. You

571
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:20.079
<v Speaker 2>go to Philly, those fans are cold. They got an edge.

572
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:22.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm from the East coast. Philly's got an edge. New

573
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:25.599
<v Speaker 2>York we think we got an edge. Philly got an edge. Right,

574
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:29.680
<v Speaker 2>it's cold, and they take it's it's what they got.

575
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:32.519
<v Speaker 2>There's no two teams, you know, even in LA. Even

576
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:34.759
<v Speaker 2>in California we got like five teams. They was like,

577
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:38.599
<v Speaker 2>it's all or nothing. He makes one comment on one

578
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:41.319
<v Speaker 2>podcast and then a week later pulls it back and

579
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:44.759
<v Speaker 2>says something else like they're gonna eat him alive. And

580
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:46.119
<v Speaker 2>I feel like there's a part of me it's like

581
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:49.359
<v Speaker 2>somebody send up a warning flag to PG because his

582
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:54.240
<v Speaker 2>exit here has been bad. I also think and I'm

583
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:55.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna go out on a limb and say one more thing.

584
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:57.640
<v Speaker 2>I know you don't want to talk about it. I do,

585
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I do, please, I will say this. Where I find

586
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:05.200
<v Speaker 2>it to be irresponsible is as somebody who has a

587
00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:09.640
<v Speaker 2>podcast go back and edit it out, go back and

588
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:12.200
<v Speaker 2>say not everything is for air, you know what. We

589
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:14.720
<v Speaker 2>may be pushed too hard there because I think at

590
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.039
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, when the facts are there,

591
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:19.759
<v Speaker 2>the facts are there, and I think that a lot

592
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:22.119
<v Speaker 2>of people have. If you it's just like do you

593
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:24.000
<v Speaker 2>want to dig a little bit deeper? I think everyone

594
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:26.000
<v Speaker 2>wants to make a point. You let them go for nothing.

595
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:28.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like, well, but what what was the other option? Right?

596
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:32.640
<v Speaker 2>We get tied up in contracts that then we can't

597
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.880
<v Speaker 2>make another move, And in my opinion, we ran it back.

598
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:40.759
<v Speaker 2>We ran back three times. It didn't work. It couldn't work.

599
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Did it work in moments, yes? Could it work maybe,

600
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:45.839
<v Speaker 2>but we tried it for three times. Like at a

601
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:49.200
<v Speaker 2>certain point you have to go, maybe we should date

602
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:51.880
<v Speaker 2>somebody else. Has nothing to do with PG. It is

603
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:54.920
<v Speaker 2>about the organization. And we made a move that yes

604
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 2>we got nothing back, but we do have next year

605
00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:59.799
<v Speaker 2>next free agency where We're not going to be tied

606
00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:03.119
<v Speaker 2>up in contracts like we have an old team. I

607
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:05.119
<v Speaker 2>mean that's everything too, we have an old team. Like

608
00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:08.559
<v Speaker 2>that was I think a forward thinking move, and everyone

609
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:11.440
<v Speaker 2>looks at it so myopically like we should have just,

610
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:13.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, we should have just gotten something. We should

611
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:15.599
<v Speaker 2>have gotten a why don't get a you know, it's

612
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>like it's like it's it's not like it's like it's

613
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:21.519
<v Speaker 2>a lack of knowledge of even how like contracts and

614
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:24.359
<v Speaker 2>the NBA works. It's who was even out there that

615
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:27.960
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna get this package from Golden State That is nothing.

616
00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, is that would be like, oh, well, you

617
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:34.359
<v Speaker 2>got this kind of crap package. It's like, all right,

618
00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:35.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

619
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Better to get flexibility. That's what they got and Nick

620
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:42.440
<v Speaker 1>batoon back Aaron Derek Jones Junior, a guy who just

621
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:44.160
<v Speaker 1>locked up Paul George Chris Dunns.

622
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:44.720
<v Speaker 2>A great move.

623
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Looks like they actually have an identity for the first

624
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:48.839
<v Speaker 1>time I can say in a while, Paul, because to me,

625
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.279
<v Speaker 1>it's always felt like they have one with overwhelming talent

626
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:55.680
<v Speaker 1>when it's available. But I don't exactly know what type

627
00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:57.960
<v Speaker 1>of team they are now they're leaning into defense.

628
00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me let me bring one thing to you,

629
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:04.359
<v Speaker 2>because somebody articulated it to me the other day and

630
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:06.519
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was a beautiful way of talking about

631
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:11.640
<v Speaker 2>this team. There. I think, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna

632
00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:13.279
<v Speaker 2>review what this person said because I think it's just

633
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:15.079
<v Speaker 2>a good point and I hadn't really heard it say.

634
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:19.160
<v Speaker 2>The team really was built around Kawhi, And the mistake

635
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:22.400
<v Speaker 2>with that is that Kawhi fits in wherever he is

636
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:25.079
<v Speaker 2>fit in on the Raptors kind of perfectly. He fit

637
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:29.359
<v Speaker 2>into their system. It wasn't built around him, and the

638
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:33.680
<v Speaker 2>team probably should have been building around uh PG in

639
00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:35.480
<v Speaker 2>a weird way, right, and then Kawhi could have just

640
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:37.960
<v Speaker 2>sought it in and fit really well. Instead, they kind

641
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:42.359
<v Speaker 2>of built around Kawhi. I think for Kawhi's style of play,

642
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Harden is a better partner for him. I think that

643
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Harden played really well for us last year. It took

644
00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:49.440
<v Speaker 2>him a beat to get used to it. But I

645
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.160
<v Speaker 2>also think it was tricky to figure out where his

646
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.839
<v Speaker 2>place was within those three. I think this year is

647
00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:56.559
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a lot cleaner. I think when you look

648
00:32:56.559 --> 00:33:00.000
<v Speaker 2>at the playoffs, I think Harden PG had no excus

649
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:04.519
<v Speaker 2>use not to step up with Harden, who was playing

650
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:07.759
<v Speaker 2>at I thought max efficiency in the playoffs except for

651
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:11.200
<v Speaker 2>one game, you know, Harden at one bad game, because

652
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:15.319
<v Speaker 2>the same can't be said for Peach had two good games. Yeah,

653
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:18.440
<v Speaker 2>and so now I feel like, all right, we're gonna

654
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:22.039
<v Speaker 2>be like these are guys Harden will take that, like

655
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Harden will play his side, or you can play hard offense.

656
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:27.039
<v Speaker 2>And I like it. And then we have these guys

657
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:30.359
<v Speaker 2>who actually want to play defense, because that's been this argument, right,

658
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm too tired to do both, you know, we

659
00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:35.160
<v Speaker 2>need to. Like, so we got Harden, who's gonna be

660
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 2>our point guard, you know, got that. We got Kawi

661
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.880
<v Speaker 2>will do his thing. But I like this build. It

662
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:44.400
<v Speaker 2>reminds me of not in well, I mean a little bit.

663
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:46.400
<v Speaker 2>It reminds me of the twenty eighteen twenty nineteen team

664
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:48.920
<v Speaker 2>where you have like these guys you know, like Trez

665
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:52.519
<v Speaker 2>and uh you know and Pat Bev. You know, these

666
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:56.119
<v Speaker 2>guys who are you know, just pushing their way in

667
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:59.440
<v Speaker 2>making it known, being a menace, making it hard on

668
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:03.319
<v Speaker 2>other teams. I still think we're lacking that, like powder

669
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Keg guy who I think and I would love it

670
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:12.039
<v Speaker 2>to be bones, you know. I I hope there's I

671
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:16.480
<v Speaker 2>hope there's room for bones on this team. I think

672
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:18.719
<v Speaker 2>there could be, you know, I don't know. I mean,

673
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:20.840
<v Speaker 2>but we have a lot, We have a lot of guys. Unfortunately,

674
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.480
<v Speaker 2>our young guys get kind of tossed to the side.

675
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:27.039
<v Speaker 2>I love tea man. There's a lot of good stuff

676
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:31.079
<v Speaker 2>surrounding this team. It's just like, can we get over

677
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:33.199
<v Speaker 2>whatever issues held us back? We know that during the

678
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:36.960
<v Speaker 2>doc era there were locker room issues, right, I feel like,

679
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:39.599
<v Speaker 2>if I'm reading the tea leaves a little bit, there

680
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:44.039
<v Speaker 2>were locker room and front office issues last year. I

681
00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:46.320
<v Speaker 2>don't know if that's gone away, but maybe it is.

682
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:49.360
<v Speaker 2>I think we've we've gotten rid of some stuff we've

683
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:53.159
<v Speaker 2>had some like was it addition by some traction we've

684
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:55.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, And and I think we're playing with a

685
00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:57.079
<v Speaker 2>bunch of guys who just want to prove a point.

686
00:34:57.159 --> 00:34:59.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm glad that we kept Norm Powell. I'm glad

687
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.760
<v Speaker 2>that we've kept a bunch of these guys.

688
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I like, sorry to tell you guys, Paul Sheer knows

689
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:08.079
<v Speaker 1>the ball. Yeah, it's a great analysis. I feel in

690
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:11.840
<v Speaker 1>a similar similar way with you about more defined roles

691
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:15.119
<v Speaker 1>with Kawhi next to James Harden, where you know who

692
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:17.639
<v Speaker 1>James Harden is. I don't know, or I didn't know

693
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:20.039
<v Speaker 1>who Paul George was going to be each and every night.

694
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:21.679
<v Speaker 2>Is he going to play like a superstar?

695
00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Is he going to just try to blend him play

696
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:24.079
<v Speaker 1>like a role player?

697
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Who is he?

698
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:28.320
<v Speaker 1>And then you have this I don't know, redundant or

699
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:32.239
<v Speaker 1>similar skill set with Kawhi Leonard where James Harden and

700
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Kawhi are so different in the way they play, and

701
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Harden has always elevated guys around him so well. Before

702
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:41.199
<v Speaker 1>it beats Zooboss went down with that cap injury I

703
00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:43.239
<v Speaker 1>think in early January where the Clippers went to that

704
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:44.880
<v Speaker 1>rut for about a month and a half playing five

705
00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:47.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred ball, he and Harden had a great connection going.

706
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking forward to that now with Big Zoo being back.

707
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Well Zoo you know has been I mean knock on

708
00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:57.800
<v Speaker 2>wood like, he's very injury not and the team that

709
00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:00.400
<v Speaker 2>gets a lot of injuries, he is very very rare

710
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:02.840
<v Speaker 2>to get him that one playoffs with the Sons. I

711
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:05.320
<v Speaker 2>forget the year, I mean all the years blend together now,

712
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:10.280
<v Speaker 2>But but I agree with you. I think the thing

713
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:16.599
<v Speaker 2>that again, I don't know that. I watched PG talk

714
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:21.880
<v Speaker 2>to Serge Ibaka about a game, and it was like

715
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.280
<v Speaker 2>watching two people speak a foreign language. I did not

716
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:26.960
<v Speaker 2>understand what they were like. I'm like, wow, they are

717
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:30.679
<v Speaker 2>at such a high level of discourse about what's happening.

718
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:33.880
<v Speaker 2>But I can say that it felt to me always

719
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:38.079
<v Speaker 2>like PG needed permission to step up. I think Harden

720
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:42.199
<v Speaker 2>reads the room and goes, Okay, that's not working. I'll

721
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:46.519
<v Speaker 2>take over and and you know, and I think that

722
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:48.440
<v Speaker 2>you know where we'd gotten into trouble in the past

723
00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:50.920
<v Speaker 2>two is you know, Kaui is known for that amazing

724
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:52.840
<v Speaker 2>shot that they took on the you know it was in

725
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Toronto that you know, following that fade it goes in,

726
00:36:56.679 --> 00:37:00.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, that beautiful shot. But there was a period

727
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:02.119
<v Speaker 2>of time where we're like, just give the ball to Kwai,

728
00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:07.039
<v Speaker 2>let it go. And I don't think that Harden will

729
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:10.559
<v Speaker 2>always give it to him, nor do I think that

730
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:12.599
<v Speaker 2>Kawhi will take it from him to be like I

731
00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:14.519
<v Speaker 2>got this last shot. I think that there's a little

732
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:17.599
<v Speaker 2>bit of a different mentality between those two guys. It's

733
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:20.000
<v Speaker 2>like they're both not afraid to take the shot. They

734
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:22.480
<v Speaker 2>both can give and take, but they're not waiting for

735
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.159
<v Speaker 2>somebody to say, Okay, it's your turn, now it's my

736
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:27.880
<v Speaker 2>turnout where I felt like sometimes the PG Kawhi connection

737
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:30.320
<v Speaker 2>felt a little like Tiki Taky like that.

738
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you know it's underscored by coach flu having

739
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:36.320
<v Speaker 1>it to tell Paul George, you're one of the best

740
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:38.400
<v Speaker 1>players in the league. I need you to be that guy,

741
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:40.760
<v Speaker 1>not somebody who thinks of himself as a number two.

742
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Because skill set wise, you can do everything. So what's

743
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:45.760
<v Speaker 1>the issue here? So no one should have to tell

744
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:47.800
<v Speaker 1>a guy that you're paying that much money to be

745
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:50.719
<v Speaker 1>a superstar, that you are a superstar. It is clear

746
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to everyone, so take over in those moments. And I

747
00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:56.079
<v Speaker 1>do think that two man game people are calling it

748
00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:59.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty one with Uno, with James Harden, with those number

749
00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:01.360
<v Speaker 1>two with Kawhi Leonard. I don't know what the new

750
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:04.079
<v Speaker 1>nicknames are going to be. Two and three connection era

751
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:06.840
<v Speaker 1>is over, So yeah, uh, what did you think about

752
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:09.119
<v Speaker 1>if East a Zoo Boss Game resigned on that deal,

753
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:11.920
<v Speaker 1>because to me that it still feels like a steal

754
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:14.239
<v Speaker 1>having him on the team, even for this number that's

755
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:15.760
<v Speaker 1>coming in after this season.

756
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:22.320
<v Speaker 2>A no brainer, A no brainer right the to me,

757
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Zoo is a completely underrated player, even though when you

758
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:31.000
<v Speaker 2>look at like the list of stats, when you look

759
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:33.960
<v Speaker 2>at the rebounds, when you look at his percentage points

760
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:37.400
<v Speaker 2>across the board, he is in like the top five.

761
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Like it's like it's interesting. He doesn't make noise, but

762
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:44.360
<v Speaker 2>he is a dominant force in the league that no

763
00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:48.239
<v Speaker 2>one really recognizes. I think he is amazing for a team.

764
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:51.639
<v Speaker 2>I think that whatever Harden did with him. I had

765
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:54.840
<v Speaker 2>heard that Hardened after practice would be all right, Zoo,

766
00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:56.639
<v Speaker 2>you're with me, and they would practice for two more hours.

767
00:38:56.679 --> 00:38:59.159
<v Speaker 2>And he saw that out there. You saw that connection

768
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:02.840
<v Speaker 2>between the two of them and only going to get better,

769
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:06.360
<v Speaker 2>you know. And I just hope that we still have

770
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:11.800
<v Speaker 2>more years of Harden kind of being as good as

771
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:14.599
<v Speaker 2>he is. But here's the thing. I've grown to like Harden.

772
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:16.920
<v Speaker 2>If you told me two years ago like Harden, I

773
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:19.639
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be so psyched. But I do believe that like

774
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.719
<v Speaker 2>his style play fits in really good here. He's somebody

775
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:26.760
<v Speaker 2>who's happy here and he doesn't play like this is

776
00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:28.559
<v Speaker 2>gonna say that people will roast me for this, but

777
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:31.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel like he plays hardball, like where it's like, oh,

778
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:33.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm worried about him getting like he's got his own

779
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:35.639
<v Speaker 2>pace and static. He's somebody that I feel like can

780
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.280
<v Speaker 2>exist a little bit longer in this game. Like so

781
00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:40.320
<v Speaker 2>his age doesn't worry me. I'm not like, oh, he's

782
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:43.320
<v Speaker 2>only got one or two more seasons left. I don't know.

783
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm wild for saying that. Maybe I've just drunk

784
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:49.639
<v Speaker 2>drunk the because I have to. You know, it's a vision.

785
00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:52.440
<v Speaker 1>It's not getting worse, Like he can read the game

786
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:53.119
<v Speaker 1>as well as.

787
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Ever, and I just feel like he he sets a

788
00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:58.880
<v Speaker 2>tone and in a great way, the way that you know,

789
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:02.559
<v Speaker 2>the way Step sets a tone, Like he just has

790
00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:08.400
<v Speaker 2>a a confidence to him, and even when it's not working,

791
00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:12.679
<v Speaker 2>there is something like like I don't there's moments with

792
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:15.079
<v Speaker 2>certain players on this team in the past where I'm

793
00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:19.000
<v Speaker 2>like it's not working, but yet like they don't seem

794
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:21.519
<v Speaker 2>to acknowledge it's not working, like I think Harden does

795
00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:23.639
<v Speaker 2>seem to. Like Harden will be like, oh, yeah, this

796
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:26.400
<v Speaker 2>is not working for me. I'm gonna not take fifteen

797
00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:29.119
<v Speaker 2>more shots. You know. It's like it's like he like,

798
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:30.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, and that's what I what I really love

799
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:34.039
<v Speaker 2>about this past season was like the way that norm

800
00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:37.679
<v Speaker 2>would we would be tanking, you know, it would be up,

801
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:40.199
<v Speaker 2>we'd be down, and then you know, and then and

802
00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:42.760
<v Speaker 2>then norm would come in and just be this silent,

803
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:46.800
<v Speaker 2>this this assassin just get us back in the game

804
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:49.079
<v Speaker 2>every time. But it was like that was you know,

805
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:51.039
<v Speaker 2>for them to just be like, we're just feeding, We're

806
00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:53.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna feed you. And he That's what I love about

807
00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:55.119
<v Speaker 2>Norma is that he could just come off the bench

808
00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:57.920
<v Speaker 2>and and knows his role gets right in. It doesn't

809
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:00.760
<v Speaker 2>need any ego stroking. He's just he's a player.

810
00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:05.599
<v Speaker 1>Really interested to see how he We mentioned Zobots, Terrence Man,

811
00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:08.559
<v Speaker 1>guys like that having bigger roles this season, you would assume,

812
00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:11.800
<v Speaker 1>of course without Paul George or more opportunities to score

813
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:16.679
<v Speaker 1>and get buckets. What are your overall expectations for this season?

814
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:20.440
<v Speaker 1>What's their ceiling you think, Paul, because we mentioned James

815
00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Harden and Kawhi Leonard, I don't think when either of

816
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.519
<v Speaker 1>those guys have been relatively healthy in their careers, their

817
00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:28.880
<v Speaker 1>teams have missed the playoffs. So this is you would

818
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:32.480
<v Speaker 1>hope that they're healthy enough they can both play sixty

819
00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:35.519
<v Speaker 1>plus games this season. Should that be the case, where

820
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:36.639
<v Speaker 1>do you think this team ends up.

821
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:42.320
<v Speaker 2>I think we've opened ourselves up to a really interesting roster.

822
00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:45.960
<v Speaker 2>It feels like an ego less roster in a way.

823
00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:51.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious about, you know, Button coming back. I love him.

824
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Interesting they came back, When he came back, and how

825
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:55.800
<v Speaker 2>he came back. I don't know if there's anything more

826
00:41:55.880 --> 00:42:00.400
<v Speaker 2>there underneath it, but he's back, and I'm excited for that.

827
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:04.480
<v Speaker 2>We need that. We've missed that last year. I think

828
00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:08.199
<v Speaker 2>that it will be a fun season for everyone who's

829
00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:11.360
<v Speaker 2>predicting that we're going to be twelfth or thirteenth, I

830
00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:16.920
<v Speaker 2>think that's absolute insanity unless something goes horribly wrong. But

831
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:20.559
<v Speaker 2>this is a team that is going to be a

832
00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:23.840
<v Speaker 2>defensive pest. You are not going to want to play us,

833
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:27.400
<v Speaker 2>and I think that that's what we need to lean into.

834
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:29.559
<v Speaker 2>That identity is what we need to figure out. I

835
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:34.559
<v Speaker 2>think that Tie, in a weird way, has a lot

836
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:38.039
<v Speaker 2>more landscape to play with. He doesn't have to worry

837
00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:42.159
<v Speaker 2>about a dissatisfied Russ. He doesn't even have to even

838
00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:45.760
<v Speaker 2>worry about it. Dissatisfied Marcus Morris, I know, has been

839
00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:48.199
<v Speaker 2>gone for a little bit, but like you know, or

840
00:42:48.320 --> 00:42:52.400
<v Speaker 2>and he doesn't have to know PJ Tucker, Well, yeah,

841
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:55.280
<v Speaker 2>but PJ. Like, here's the thing about PJ. It feels

842
00:42:55.320 --> 00:42:58.920
<v Speaker 2>like PJ could be dissatisfied and they're like that whatever.

843
00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:02.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's like you know, and by the way

844
00:43:02.039 --> 00:43:03.880
<v Speaker 2>they put him in, they put they played plaoffs and

845
00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:07.719
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't bad, like like you know, he wasn't but yeah,

846
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:10.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, right, it could have been worse. And I

847
00:43:10.920 --> 00:43:13.880
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like some egos have been released. I

848
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:17.559
<v Speaker 2>think that it's a cleaner relationship with our two guys,

849
00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:20.719
<v Speaker 2>and I don't see anyone else on the team worried

850
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:22.840
<v Speaker 2>about it. I feel like what I'm actually interested in

851
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:26.559
<v Speaker 2>is what what are the who am I looking out for?

852
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:29.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking out for too. Mobamba does like that's interesting

853
00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:31.719
<v Speaker 2>to me. You know, I want to see if that's

854
00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:34.199
<v Speaker 2>a guy that we can really rely on. I mean,

855
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I still miss Hertenstein, you know, I feel like, you know,

856
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:40.920
<v Speaker 2>what a bummer, I mean to trade him for a while,

857
00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and then you know, and by the way,

858
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I've never heard picked all your guys. Man, we took

859
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:51.800
<v Speaker 2>all your guys. I love Reggie, love Reggie. Reggie worked out,

860
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Reggie worked out. But you know, but I'm looking at it.

861
00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, all right, this is this is this is

862
00:43:56.920 --> 00:43:59.480
<v Speaker 2>an interesting team. You know. I love how co You know,

863
00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Coffee to me is a fun guy. He I think

864
00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:05.039
<v Speaker 2>really stepped up last year. I love the new guys.

865
00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:09.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious camp Christy, like, there's a lot of lot

866
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:11.639
<v Speaker 2>of interesting stuff. By the way, and now this is

867
00:44:11.639 --> 00:44:14.400
<v Speaker 2>where I get to be a bad Clippers fan. Who

868
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:16.880
<v Speaker 2>is the dude who went off in Summer League that

869
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:19.960
<v Speaker 2>we all loved? And Jordan Miller? Jordan Miller? What's going

870
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:21.639
<v Speaker 2>on with Jordan Miller right now? And I'm sorry that

871
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:24.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm not I am Do we know as he is?

872
00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey, you were the one with him on the red carpet. No,

873
00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a training camp guy. He's on a

874
00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:34.440
<v Speaker 1>two way contract right now. I think it's gonna depend

875
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.360
<v Speaker 1>on how this season goes. Like he's in a position

876
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:41.239
<v Speaker 1>on the team where there are some wings that he'd

877
00:44:41.239 --> 00:44:44.000
<v Speaker 1>have to fight through to get playing talent. But I

878
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:46.559
<v Speaker 1>think Paul, if he bawls out a training camp, if

879
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:48.920
<v Speaker 1>he looks good at Hawaii after dominating in the G

880
00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:50.639
<v Speaker 1>League last year, it wasn't just Summer league.

881
00:44:50.679 --> 00:44:52.519
<v Speaker 2>He was averaging twenty two points in the G League,

882
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:53.760
<v Speaker 2>that's eighth in the league.

883
00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Then he dominates summer league. It's like you have to

884
00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:58.840
<v Speaker 1>throw more challenges at him and see where his ceiling is.

885
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:00.599
<v Speaker 1>I think if he plays really well on training camp,

886
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:01.880
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get a shot.

887
00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:05.840
<v Speaker 2>That And that's the attitude that I want this team

888
00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:08.119
<v Speaker 2>to have, right And I feel like that's what we

889
00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:12.039
<v Speaker 2>get with Derek Jones, with you know, Chris Dunn. Like

890
00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:14.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, you know, we're in the zone where

891
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.119
<v Speaker 2>it's like all right, and I do and I look,

892
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:18.480
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot you know, there's some been some tricky

893
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:21.639
<v Speaker 2>pickups too that we've had, right, some pickups of guys

894
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:25.119
<v Speaker 2>who have a little bit of a pass that's like oof,

895
00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:29.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, and you know, or or it's like is

896
00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:30.800
<v Speaker 2>this second chance a minute? Like you know, we can

897
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:34.960
<v Speaker 2>lean into and find some some you know, sign find

898
00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:37.320
<v Speaker 2>some diamonds in the in the in the rough, you know.

899
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:41.880
<v Speaker 2>And I just feel like chips when we are playing

900
00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:45.119
<v Speaker 2>not for the chip, but with a chip on our shoulder,

901
00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:47.320
<v Speaker 2>we're a better team totally.

902
00:45:47.599 --> 00:45:50.719
<v Speaker 1>They have been able to outperform expectations. You mentioned guys

903
00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:53.159
<v Speaker 1>talking about them being the twelfth seed, not even being

904
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:56.079
<v Speaker 1>a playing team this season. I don't think that bulletin

905
00:45:56.119 --> 00:45:59.360
<v Speaker 1>board material will be lost on this Clippers team. I

906
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:03.159
<v Speaker 1>don't think missing out on playing in Team USA, even

907
00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:07.840
<v Speaker 1>for someone who is so hyper focused and meticulous about

908
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:09.960
<v Speaker 1>everything he does and doesn't hear the outside noise and

909
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:12.440
<v Speaker 1>isn't on social media, I don't think Kawhi Leonard is

910
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:14.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna forget about missing out on that time at TMOSA.

911
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Here's the thing, chances are there is going to be

912
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:23.159
<v Speaker 2>a season where Kawhi is rare to go. And by

913
00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:25.599
<v Speaker 2>the way, last season he was great, you know in

914
00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:27.880
<v Speaker 2>that new blow up, like what he's got, like, let's

915
00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:30.239
<v Speaker 2>just call it. Let's call it out for what it is.

916
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:36.519
<v Speaker 2>He is. You know, he's got a degenerative knee disease. Right,

917
00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:39.360
<v Speaker 2>that's just that's just the what it is, right, It's

918
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:42.760
<v Speaker 2>it's not can't heal, It's got to be managed. I

919
00:46:42.760 --> 00:46:44.559
<v Speaker 2>think he's doing a great job at it. So anytime

920
00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:46.559
<v Speaker 2>anyone goes, oh, he sits, he sits, he sits. But

921
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:51.599
<v Speaker 2>every person that wants to talk about Kawhi, why would

922
00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:55.239
<v Speaker 2>you sign that guy? He's always getting injured. Every person

923
00:46:55.239 --> 00:46:59.119
<v Speaker 2>who says that is also the same person who says, well,

924
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:00.920
<v Speaker 2>they should trade him to the Warriors. Oh, they should

925
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:02.800
<v Speaker 2>trade him over here. Why we would take him? The

926
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:05.400
<v Speaker 2>reason why you want to take him is because you

927
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:09.400
<v Speaker 2>know what we know, which is but the one year

928
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:12.639
<v Speaker 2>where it doesn't happen or you know, it's the year

929
00:47:12.679 --> 00:47:15.320
<v Speaker 2>that you have to be like whoa, And it sucks.

930
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:18.880
<v Speaker 2>It sucks for him that he is so good and

931
00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:22.039
<v Speaker 2>is dealing with this chronic thing. But that's what it is.

932
00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:25.400
<v Speaker 2>It's not He's not streak closed, He's not anything. He's

933
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:28.880
<v Speaker 2>the only guy I've seen that like I feel like

934
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:31.599
<v Speaker 2>like Lebron like understands his body, but he just has

935
00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:36.679
<v Speaker 2>dealt that hand. That's his hand, unfortunately. But the upside

936
00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:38.280
<v Speaker 2>is just as high as the downside.

937
00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:42.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, when Kawhi is healthy. I think Lawrence Frank

938
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:43.960
<v Speaker 1>said it best when they signed him to that three

939
00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:47.639
<v Speaker 1>year extension this past season, is like anybody can get hurt,

940
00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:50.159
<v Speaker 1>but not everyone. When they're healthy, can be a top

941
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:53.280
<v Speaker 1>five player in the league and be I think a

942
00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:55.760
<v Speaker 1>top ten player all time when it comes to a

943
00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:58.400
<v Speaker 1>playoff series. I don't know if there's ten guys I

944
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:00.639
<v Speaker 1>would take over Kawhi Leonard in that setting, like he

945
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:02.119
<v Speaker 1>is a killer.

946
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and we're talking about a killer at this age. Like, again,

947
00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:11.599
<v Speaker 2>you take away the injury of the same injury, it's

948
00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:14.320
<v Speaker 2>always the same injury. It's a variation of the same injury, right,

949
00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:17.719
<v Speaker 2>you know. It's like like but it's like he was

950
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:20.440
<v Speaker 2>putting up those numbers, he was playing to that high level.

951
00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:24.400
<v Speaker 2>It's not like he's getting worse. The injury is what

952
00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:27.400
<v Speaker 2>has to be managed, not It's not like, oh, well

953
00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:31.440
<v Speaker 2>he's getting slower, he's getting his this he's he's the guy.

954
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:35.039
<v Speaker 2>When he's the guy, he's the guy. And you know, honestly, like,

955
00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:38.679
<v Speaker 2>if you're betting on this team, that's the bet you

956
00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:39.159
<v Speaker 2>gotta take.

957
00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm with you. I don't want to let you

958
00:48:42.880 --> 00:48:45.039
<v Speaker 1>go before asking you about the book, not that you

959
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:47.199
<v Speaker 1>need any help promoting it for me. You've been on

960
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Compare and everything, and it's a New York Times bestseller,

961
00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:54.800
<v Speaker 1>but Joyful Recollections of Trauma, Yes, because it's an autobiography

962
00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:57.400
<v Speaker 1>and I know there was some heavy content in there

963
00:48:57.400 --> 00:49:00.440
<v Speaker 1>and difficult subject matter, and you were very revealing, like

964
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:03.880
<v Speaker 1>is there a balance between the cathartic nature of it

965
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:07.079
<v Speaker 1>and just being so open and vulnerable.

966
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, you know. Look, my goal is this. I

967
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:14.519
<v Speaker 2>am a comedian, I'm an actor. I'm first and foremost.

968
00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:17.880
<v Speaker 2>My job is to entertain, right, And that's how I

969
00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:21.280
<v Speaker 2>took this book. I'm gonna talk about stuff that's maybe dark,

970
00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:24.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe a little bit difficult, but I give you one

971
00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:26.159
<v Speaker 2>sentence of that and the next sentence is going to

972
00:49:26.199 --> 00:49:28.039
<v Speaker 2>be a joke. It's a balance, right, And I feel

973
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:30.840
<v Speaker 2>like that's what I really strove to do. Like I

974
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:32.800
<v Speaker 2>when I was writing it, I was thinking about how

975
00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:35.000
<v Speaker 2>would I tell you this story. I'm gonna make it fun.

976
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna just sit here and trauma dump on you.

977
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:39.679
<v Speaker 2>The book isn't therapy. The book is, if anything, a

978
00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:42.719
<v Speaker 2>reflection of therapy. And also like looking back and having

979
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:45.920
<v Speaker 2>these kind of insane fun moments and different backdrops are

980
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:49.000
<v Speaker 2>put behind them. So you know that was my job

981
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:52.679
<v Speaker 2>is to make this book a fun read and maybe

982
00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:56.559
<v Speaker 2>it will take you to different spots. And that's good too.

983
00:49:56.599 --> 00:49:58.519
<v Speaker 2>I think that, you know, I think you can. You know,

984
00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:03.320
<v Speaker 2>it's joyful recollections. Trauma not just trauma. You're just trauma recollections.

985
00:50:03.360 --> 00:50:05.679
<v Speaker 2>You know. The audiobook is super fun because we pop

986
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:07.599
<v Speaker 2>in clips from how did this get made? There's some

987
00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:11.000
<v Speaker 2>live readings of it, but yeah, it's it. To me,

988
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:13.840
<v Speaker 2>it's it's I've been so thrilled to hear people's reactions

989
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:16.599
<v Speaker 2>to it, and everyone's reactions are completely different. The only

990
00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:19.599
<v Speaker 2>person that I need a reaction from, though, is the

991
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:22.159
<v Speaker 2>people I dedicated it to, which was I dedicated it

992
00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:28.000
<v Speaker 2>to Steve Bomber, Tylu and the Clippers organization. I put it.

993
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:30.320
<v Speaker 2>It's in the back of the book, you know, and

994
00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:32.199
<v Speaker 2>I and I made sure it's in there. I wanted

995
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:34.639
<v Speaker 2>to tell Bomber and Tie that when I saw them

996
00:50:34.639 --> 00:50:39.199
<v Speaker 2>at the Bruno Mars thing, but I acted too cool.

997
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:41.840
<v Speaker 2>And I appreciate how I acted because there's also a

998
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:43.960
<v Speaker 2>whole section in that book about how I embarrassed myself

999
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:46.199
<v Speaker 2>in front of people I really like. So I played

1000
00:50:46.199 --> 00:50:48.239
<v Speaker 2>it good. I got a high five from Bomber because

1001
00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I fact checked or I name checked. Go Factor Yourself

1002
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:56.039
<v Speaker 2>or his new web series, which is amazing to watch.

1003
00:50:56.119 --> 00:51:00.920
<v Speaker 2>If you've not watched it, get on his fact based

1004
00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:04.760
<v Speaker 2>YouTube channel show where he's just like laying down information.

1005
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:08.280
<v Speaker 2>It is awesome and I love time. I love time.

1006
00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:12.159
<v Speaker 1>God bless Steve ballmer TYLERU, the Clippers organization. I wanted

1007
00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:14.159
<v Speaker 1>to ask you this because I've always wondered this with

1008
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:16.440
<v Speaker 1>comedians and I've never had a chance to really talk

1009
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:20.119
<v Speaker 1>to anyone like this in this format. How do you decide?

1010
00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:20.920
<v Speaker 2>You know?

1011
00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:23.679
<v Speaker 1>I know it's different for everyone. Louis c. K may

1012
00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:26.639
<v Speaker 1>say some stuff that nobody else is gonna say. Uh,

1013
00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:29.920
<v Speaker 1>how do you decide where your threshold is, what's permissible,

1014
00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:33.920
<v Speaker 1>what you're okay with? Like obviously no Clippers shokes, But

1015
00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:35.079
<v Speaker 1>how do you decide?

1016
00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:39.239
<v Speaker 2>You know? I think you know, for me, different points

1017
00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:43.159
<v Speaker 2>in my life, I will probably find different things funny. Right.

1018
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I hope to always mature, help to always grow. But

1019
00:51:48.400 --> 00:51:51.679
<v Speaker 2>I think I was taught very early on that you

1020
00:51:51.719 --> 00:51:57.199
<v Speaker 2>punch up, you don't punch down. And and I hope

1021
00:51:57.239 --> 00:52:04.079
<v Speaker 2>that if I am if I'm saying something that might

1022
00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:07.039
<v Speaker 2>be controversial, if I'm saying something that may not be

1023
00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:12.480
<v Speaker 2>a popular opinion, that I am smart enough to defend

1024
00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:15.360
<v Speaker 2>it and not just take a very cliche point of

1025
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:17.239
<v Speaker 2>view about it. I think a person that I look to,

1026
00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:19.400
<v Speaker 2>and again I'm not a stand up, but the person

1027
00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:22.360
<v Speaker 2>I look to that does that really well is Bill Burr.

1028
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Like he will say some very divisive things, right, But

1029
00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:31.679
<v Speaker 2>at the end of fifteen minutes, when he explains why

1030
00:52:31.719 --> 00:52:35.719
<v Speaker 2>he said that thing, if you don't agree with him,

1031
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:38.000
<v Speaker 2>you at least see his point. And I feel like

1032
00:52:38.079 --> 00:52:42.079
<v Speaker 2>that's like and I think that. I think where comedy

1033
00:52:42.119 --> 00:52:47.880
<v Speaker 2>goes bad is when it's lazy, like and oftentimes lazy

1034
00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:54.239
<v Speaker 2>points of view, like when you look through your history

1035
00:52:54.440 --> 00:52:57.719
<v Speaker 2>of oh that person was canceled for this joke or this.

1036
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you're finding anybody can't for any jokes.

1037
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I think what you're finding people getting ripped apart for

1038
00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:10.239
<v Speaker 2>is being lazy, not actually having a fully defined point

1039
00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:13.360
<v Speaker 2>of view. It's like it's like there are these hack jokes,

1040
00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:15.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, like I when I was growing up, it

1041
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:19.000
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, these types of people are bad drivers.

1042
00:53:19.039 --> 00:53:20.880
<v Speaker 2>It's like it's it's like where I grew up with

1043
00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:23.320
<v Speaker 2>like polish jokes. It's like, well, what are we doing?

1044
00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:26.119
<v Speaker 2>Like it's like it's just it's not interesting. It's not

1045
00:53:26.159 --> 00:53:27.920
<v Speaker 2>a point of view, it's it's it's just kind of

1046
00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:34.280
<v Speaker 2>like different, different, different, different is bad. And so yeah,

1047
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:36.760
<v Speaker 2>so I think as long as you you could say

1048
00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:40.920
<v Speaker 2>anything you want, as long as you aren't lazy about

1049
00:53:41.159 --> 00:53:43.079
<v Speaker 2>you know about saying it, and I think that that.

1050
00:53:43.079 --> 00:53:44.559
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of people are go, kude, there

1051
00:53:44.599 --> 00:53:47.239
<v Speaker 2>anything anymore. It's like you could say whatever you want

1052
00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:50.400
<v Speaker 2>because there are movies like you know, you look at

1053
00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:53.159
<v Speaker 2>like something like Bruno or Borat, and like these movies

1054
00:53:53.199 --> 00:53:54.960
<v Speaker 2>are saying the people always said like, oh, you can't

1055
00:53:54.960 --> 00:53:58.519
<v Speaker 2>make Blazing Saddles again you could. That movie has a

1056
00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:02.159
<v Speaker 2>defined point of view. Borat has a defined point of view.

1057
00:54:02.280 --> 00:54:04.760
<v Speaker 2>South Park has a defined point of view. Like these

1058
00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:08.920
<v Speaker 2>shows know what they're saying. I think where comedy gets

1059
00:54:08.920 --> 00:54:11.039
<v Speaker 2>in trouble is when you don't know what you're saying

1060
00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:15.519
<v Speaker 2>and you're just saying something for a reaction, for titillation,

1061
00:54:16.440 --> 00:54:17.199
<v Speaker 2>beautifully put.

1062
00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm gonna use that for the

1063
00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:20.639
<v Speaker 1>teas or the Paul George Parker, I've got a lot

1064
00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:24.239
<v Speaker 1>to pick at here he is the great pulse Here again.

1065
00:54:24.840 --> 00:54:27.679
<v Speaker 1>The book is Joyful Recollections of Trauma and check it

1068
00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:36.119
<v Speaker 1>an all time banker. When it comes best of the

1069
00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:37.079
