Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to season three,
episode nine of Clips in Dip. Two of us are
wearing new hats. If you're watching us on YouTube, you
can see that, which is very fun. If you're listening,
maybe you can hear us how much different we sound
with the new hats. I don't know. I'm Chuck Mockler,
joined by William Uptyke and Adam Austlin. We're gonna be
talking pretty awesome into It Dome Tour. We got the
first opponent of the into a Dome era was revealed
today as well. For listening to this, Thank you. If
you're watching, thank you as well. Adam. Will Before we
get into it, there was an earthquake today, did you
You guys are all good? Nothing in your house fell over?
How are you coping? I stopped working because I was
working from home, and I was like, I have no
I can't work after this, Adam, how's your house?
Speaker 2: That's a work atzer at all?
Speaker 1: Right? Miles?
Speaker 2: Is okay? I did for I did, for a second
think that my seven hundred square foot apartment was hit
by a day drunk driver, just for a second, because
I've had that sensation before when there was an earthquake here.
It's just it can be really jarring in this particular
building because it's all brick. So I felt it. I
felt it more than I did the one last week.
I was slightly concerned. The intensity of it and the
length of the earthquake just seemed to be worse than
last week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, how you how did you handle it? Did
you freak out? Run around in a circle?
Speaker 3: No, I didn't freak out. But this was one of
the like for where I'm at, one of the bigger
ones I've experienced. Like my ship was rattling all over
the place. But yeah, I'm good, I'm doing fine. I'm coping.
Speaker 1: I'm coping day by day.
Speaker 3: We all find ways, you know, we find our ways
to move on.
Speaker 1: Each day it gets the leasier, still hard, you know,
the first quake is the deepest. All right, let's hope
there's another one next week. But before the earthquake happened
this morning yesterday, us three got to go on a
pretty well all three of our first times at the
fully established into it dome, A pretty sick ass. Where
the hats came from, That's where the hats came from,
A pretty amazing tour of into it Dome, and I
have to say, I don't think this space needs any
more promotion. But I didn't really have expectations going into it.
I knew it was gonna be awesome, but the level
of attention to detail was fantastic to see. And this
is very simple to take. You are so much closer
to the court from every seat possible in a way
that I found striking.
Speaker 3: I think that is maybe the most impressive takeaway from
the whole thing. I mean, we'll get into it, because
there is a lot of stuff that's actually impressive, you know,
Like I was, you know, jazz to see the new place.
You know, I didn't really have like super high expectations,
like what can you really have out of the stadium.
I would say that this definitely exceeded all of them.
But yeah, the most impressive thing is just I don't
know that there really is a bad seat in the house.
We were shown We started the tour with quote unquote
like the worst seats, and you're considerably closer. You're at
like fifty feet closer than you would be in comparable
seats and staples and due to the pitch of the
way the seating is arranged, like the view is just
so much better. It is. I mean, honestly, it is
wild to see how different it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, Adam, what was your favorite part.
There's so many insane things just kind of like just everywhere.
Speaker 2: I guess, no, I guess we got to start with
the most important, vital part, the most basic part of
having an arenas being close to the action and having
good seats. And they nailed it. They got it in spades.
I have never experienced being at the top of an
arena or a stadium before and feeling that close to
the floor. Ever, it was astonishing. Mouth of gate. I
was walking around and I just kept saying, I'm so overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: I'm so overwhelmed.
Speaker 2: This is so crazy. I didn't expect it to be
like this. It really is. We walked out and we
were even talking about, you know, for how cheap those
season tickets would be for seats even at the very top.
I mean, that's a deal that might be worth looking into,
you guys like us.
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely, I was like, this is and you
got the atrium out there, there's like a nice uh,
there's nice outdoor space and all that stuff. We got
to see every single I mean, we got to see
areas of the stadium where I don't think we will
ever sit, that being the Lexus Lounge, which is a.
Speaker 3: Cool I mean which shout out, shout out, James L. Brooks.
If you listen to this and you are like a
Quartzez ticket holder, get at us. You know, if you
ever don't want to go to a.
Speaker 1: Game or something obvious, Yeah, if you ever, if you
ever miss, if you ever get tied up or something, We're.
Speaker 3: Not too proud to bang. We would definitely, you know,
do some light bagging to get those tickets.
Speaker 1: Sure, for sure. And the seats are great. The Lexus
Lounge was like being in a very fancy subway bar,
like not sandwiches, like an old subway like that was
the vibe. It was like old twenty It was like
gold stuff. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Our tour guide, who asked to rename nameless, describe it
as like a brasserie, like a French brasserie. And I
feel like that is one nailed it.
Speaker 1: Adam, how often are you going to try and sneak
into the Lexus Lounge as much as I can.
Speaker 2: I'll be a stole away. You guys got to bring
a big suitcase and just pull me in there. I
was impressed. It was beautiful. In the hallway where the
players walk through that you can see glass in between
you and them. But as you're sitting there dining, drinking, socializing,
you could just watch the players I guess, go out
onto the court or walk back near the practice center.
It's it's insane.
Speaker 3: And just a heads up if once again, if you
aren't listening to this, and for some reason it happened
to be a be seated Lexus. In the Lexus quartside club,
there is glass that separates there. There's a hallway where
the players will go that that goes through the middle
of this lounge, and there is glass set up that
is retractable. And essentially they're going to try to go
no glass for the few games, for the first couple
of games, but if someone fucks it up, there's gonna
be glass.
Speaker 1: So if you're.
Speaker 3: Listening to this, just don't fuck it up, man, Just
play it cool. And if there can be no glass
and you can just have the players, you know, go
through the tunnel directly through the middle of the lounge
and you can just be cool about it. Try to
act what I'm saying does act like you've been there before,
you know.
Speaker 2: Just give a high five.
Speaker 3: You don't need to get the autograph. It doesn't need
to be yea.
Speaker 1: Let them do their things.
Speaker 3: Otherwise, cross to get it, you know, a new caviar
or whatever they eat over there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for the people for what I assume most of
the our listeners experience will be. I have no disrespect
to our listeners, but I don't think the majority of
them are sitting in the Lexus lounges. That would be
groundbreaking news to me. If we have that demographic, they
should be giving us more money if that. If that
is the case. But the normal, the regular fan is
going to have such a close experience. Everything is close by.
I don't know how to describe how they figured out
how to use space so effectively at the end to it,
don't There is so much stuff packed in. You feel
close to other things, but there's space. You're never far
away from a back through. Even the club seats are
like you still have a kind of an area. You
can go back and maybe not be as into the game,
but you're three steps away from being you know, fifteen
rows up, which in the end of it, Dough is
like being on the fifth row at Staples is kind
of what it felt like in terms of angle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know a lot of season ticket holders were
kind of disappointed that their seats were going to be technically,
you know, like further back or a little bit seemingly
a little bit less desirable. And I hear that out.
You all deserve the best, even rocking with this team forever.
But I do encourage you to check out those seats
and let us know what you think, because you know,
I was honestly impressed just how much closer the views
were and how much better You're not just closer, but
every viewing angle is just is just better than it
is at Staples. I mean, once again, I guess I
just wasn't really prepared for how different, like a completely
purpose driven stadium can really be.
Speaker 1: In baseball stadiums. It's like you're white.
Speaker 3: On top of the action.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just can't be oprah stated or emphasized enough
how much closer you feel to the floor, meaning how
much more of an impact you can have on a
game bringing your noise level to it. I'm really interested
to hear how loud it is going to get in there,
like what type of acoustics are we going to experience,
because nobody will know that until the first event. I
guess Bruno Mars on Thursday. But even that situated in
a different fashion than how it will be for a
Clippers game. So when the wall is fully there and
everything's ready to go for the Clippers, we'll be able
to get a good test on just how many decibels
we can get it too, because I'm from Zacramento and
I remember Arco Arena used to be talked about as
the loudest arena before there was okayc which I think
would be considered the loudest arena maybe now. ARCA used
to get up to like one hundred and ten decibels
or something like that, and they used to measure it
NBC for games. It was a little gimmick thing, We're
at the loudest arena, A go arena. This is gonna
be It feels like the sound is going to stay
there and remain there and just be deafening for the opposition.
Speaker 1: I cannot. I mean, yeah, we are. Our guide was
telling us, you know, they had some some amount of
fans in there kind of doing like a decibel test
at one point and she said that even it was
like six thousand or something like that, and she said
it was just it was incredible. So yeah, well, to
your point, like baseball stadiums are the only stadiums I've
been to that are that specialized, like a newer baseball
park like pet.
Speaker 3: Cot, but you're not on top of the action.
Speaker 1: Oh no, not at all, but just in terms of
like like yo, they rotated the seats twenty three degrees.
You know, like that's kind of as far as it's
been for me at like a specialized park. So yeah,
just see. And the connection to California, the high school
jersey thing is like that is really cool to see
in person, the big main wall with all the high
school jerseys and.
Speaker 3: They got every team in California except seven high schools.
So you should hit up. You should have hit up
into it app if you happen to be on a
tour whatever, you can tap on the thing to see
all the schools and see if your high school is there.
But if for whatever reason, once again, if you're listening
and your high school is not being represented, uh, I
encourage you to reach out because you deserve a spot
on that wall.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you seven schools? They can they got
to get these jerseys in.
Speaker 2: They're tardy. I don't like it.
Speaker 1: No perfect attendance for these schools.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's just gonna be a phenomenal place for Clippers.
Speaker 3: Any I guess what we haven't considered is these seven
schools play skins is their home uniform. There's there's not
a jersey involved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Kanye's school. It's like a weird, experimental.
Speaker 2: All time quarterback all time skins exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if if you knows, let us know, if you
were on a tour, what you liked, what you thought
was the coolest thing. A lot of a lot of bathrooms.
That was true, there were a lot of bathrooms there.
Speaker 2: It feels like almost a basketball theme park. It feels
like something you've never really experienced before, because I don't know,
I've never been to a place that is a plaza
like that that could have so much potential just in
that area. I guess Jurassic Park is kind of like
that up in Toronto. I haven't been, but I don't know.
This is this is different than anything, at least in
southern California.
Speaker 3: That we've experienced. Another thing kind of separate from I
know we've been talking about like the Ian arena experience,
which which is really great is there is just this
large community space outside, like people outside of the arena
where you know, we saw some kids playing on one
of the playing on one of the courts out there.
I guess there's gonna be like some restaurants where they
are going to feature some sort of like local local
restauranteers and chefs and like give them some sort of
staff and like some sort of support to be able
to make stuff like sort of a quantity. But it's
really cool to me because even at LA Live, which
there is like a whole ecosystem around the stadium which
I do really enjoy, it's not like in any way
really related to the gameste you know what I mean. Yeah,
like sometimes like and like sometimes they might have playoffs
off on a screen, but I gotta be honest with you,
most of the time you're out there, they're not even
like showing the game or anything like on the big
like on the big screen across like directly across from
Staples there on LA Live. So I I you know,
I see the potential that we don't know yet like
what that's actually gonna be, but I see the potential
for that being kind of a cool space and kind
of like an extra sort of experience, maybe even if
you don't have a ticket, you know what.
Speaker 1: I mean, standing room hangs out in the playoffs, I
guarantee you during Yeah, they're going to have like the
c or some weird nickname for like that area.
Speaker 2: It feels like the expansion pack to game or to
set those up or something.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. It's like, do you want
the basketball ship sculpture out front?
Speaker 2: You're like, oh yeah, cool. It just it just adds
to all of it and takes away from nothing.
Speaker 1: It just is so bad. Yeah. Yeah, there's so many things,
but there's no frills. Is what is? They did such
a good job. I mean, I do feel like there's
there's chargers in the seats, there's fan but like it's
all things to keep you focused on the game. You know.
It's not like there's not like weird distractions like oh
you can go do like speed pitch or whatever. You're like, no,
they want you to be in your seats. They want
you to get your stuff and go back to your
seats and enjoy the actual game.
Speaker 2: Didn't we hear on the tour that.
Speaker 1: Controllers might be a frill.
Speaker 2: Crypto had three levels of sweets. This just has one.
This is more about the focus on getting people in
the seats and join the game. Everything is catered towards
getting you back.
Speaker 3: In your seat as fast as possible.
Speaker 2: Efficiency is the name of the game in the NBA,
with analytics and with the into it dome and the
way it was constructed.
Speaker 1: Apparently, and getting in and out. We did see some
stuff online there were some people frustrated about like the
whole system or whatever. You don't have to do the
facial recognition thing if you don't want to, and downloading
the app.
Speaker 3: Is pretty easy.
Speaker 1: You just download it. I don't know what else to
say about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all of us ended up making a purchase at
the Flagship store, so we all we all just ended
up doing the thing. And I'm just glad it's out
of the way. So when I do go to a
game as a fan or whatever, like, I'm just I'm
just already set up. I don't want to get into
the data privacy thing because that's like a larger conversation
that that's for our.
Speaker 1: Other podcast data.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do have a lot of cameras. Oh boy,
are there a a lot of cameras at the Into
It Dome. I like it that there are. There's so
many in the Lexus Lounge, and I think that's good
because I think very rich people should be monitored like
that because we don't know what they're doing. They can
be weird, little weirdo sometimes.
Speaker 2: Is this about Is this about the class again?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean maybe, I hope we don't have to bring
that up again.
Speaker 2: Dock yourself accordingly.
Speaker 1: But the Flagship Store was awesome. The Flagship Store ruled.
Speaker 3: Also, this is like stupid, but I thought kind of
a nice touch was like a every seat does have
a charger in it, and this was like a big deal.
I guess to Bomber that, like that's not just limited
to like a premium experience, Like even if you're in
the three hundreds or whatever in the aerial last seat,
like you have a charger. And at the store you
can't pick up a charger for five dollars, which is
uh for a stadium. I feel like a pretty good
move as I am someone who is you know, frequently
having a dead phone and no charger.
Speaker 1: Real hot girl? Shit, dude, Sometimes.
Speaker 2: Am I getting a charger for five bucks? From I
getting a hot dog for five bucks? What am I
doing today?
Speaker 1: Why not? Both? But Yeah, the store was great. They
have every I did not, so I say I did
tell Will it was cool that they had every jersey.
I did not see PJ. Tucker's jersey, but they did
have like mobomb but they just have every jersey at
the team store is also a very cool move. Yes, absolutely,
and we learned too the surprising kind of fact. Maybe
Niko batoum number three selling jersey right now by like
an incredibly large margin between him and four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently it's James hard number one, Kawhi number two,
Nico number three. A lot of people are saying, oh,
so everybody likes James Harden much more than Kawhi. I
was like, well, Kawi has been on the team for
a while, a lot of people probably have grant, this
is a newer, different jersey, but you probably are still
more inclined to go for a newer player with that
newer jersey that you didn't already have a jersey for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Harden, as I would say, works harder at
his reputation to sell, you know what I mean, Like
Harden has a huge presence in China, like Kauhi is not.
You know, the Kawhi brand isn't as big as Hardens
I think for the average NBA.
Speaker 2: Fan, but though it is not shocking being there, right, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, yeah, he's got the international boost, he's a fan face,
he's the most fan favorite, and since like he's all first.
Speaker 2: Team Clippers role player fan favorite. Right in just a
short amount of time.
Speaker 1: The mount rushmore of Clippers role players is a has
one hundred percent has an ECO on it.
Speaker 2: And he's only this will be his fourth year as
a Clipper. It's pretty incredible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who do we think number four is?
Speaker 2: I think Will nailed it.
Speaker 1: I think it's man Terrence that makes sense, man.
Speaker 2: Zoo Powell, kai Joon uh.
Speaker 1: I mean, once you're that low, wouldn't be crazy to
think that kai Jones is the eighth highest selling jersey
on the team or whatever.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what if one of these young probably
selling more than that's a good call. Okay, Yeah, if
one of the young guys has a breakout season all
of a sudden, they can certainly crack the top four.
Speaker 1: You can get a Kobe Brown jersey there, they have
it on the wall.
Speaker 2: I was surprised that not only can you customize jerseys,
but hats basketball so you can get stuff inscribed on them.
Speaker 3: Oh, tattoo, you can get a tattoo there, they'll touch up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever you need. Uh Clippers Champions twenty twenty five tattoo. Yeah,
we'll already got it.
Speaker 1: If you're listening and you get to this is our
your tattoo, you can come on the show, scum hang
for an episode. We'll do it live.
Speaker 3: I needed a new lower back piece.
Speaker 1: It's the cover up the Chevy logo. I went to
school with someone who had a Chevy logo lower back piece.
It was a bold choice. But she loved.
Speaker 2: Trucks, like the ribbon bow tie thing or like like
a rock under a Chevrolet.
Speaker 1: It's the bow tie dedicated. There's gonna be a preseason
game happening into It on October fourteenth. I'm gonna try
and be at that. Gotta see the preseason into It
run preseason wall.
Speaker 2: I hope we got the radio broadcast for that.
Speaker 3: Is that a dry run?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: The dry run with yeah a little more skin in
the game.
Speaker 1: No one ever got back to us where preseason basketball
ranks between uh G League during the season summer league.
In preseason it's third, right.
Speaker 2: Your order?
Speaker 1: Do you think preseason basketball is?
Speaker 3: To me, it's above summer. I just think it's a
little bit more exciting, Like, I just think it's more
exciting because you know you're gonna see some of the
some of the guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you see a starter, I think it can't
be last. If Kawhi Leonard, who has played in preseason
with the Clippers before, plays, can't be third.
Speaker 1: Well, the level of play, it's not what it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter the level of play. Converta SEVERER league?
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1: So Coui plays two minutes and then from there Kai
Jones takes the rest of his minutes.
Speaker 2: I mean he was gonna be there in summer league
if didn't have the turn ankle.
Speaker 3: Let's see a significant do that's true?
Speaker 1: Well, we should be at the preseason. That'll be sick
coming up, we're gonna talk about they revealed the first
opponent into it, and I'm we'll see how we feel
come opening night. We're gonna do an audio break and
then we'll be back audio commercial going up in three
two one.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back into Clips and Dip. We just
talked about into a dome in our tour slash takeover
of it. Now we're talking about taking on our first
opponent in the into a dome, which I guess we're
getting a slow release of the schedule right now, maybe
maybe one game at a time and tease this out.
Speaker 1: I have year so much.
Speaker 3: Clippers are taken on their nemesis Phoenix signs.
Speaker 2: Are they kind of they're one of their rivals. They
have to be considered that they've lost to him two
times in the playoffs. Yeah, they've only played I think
one other teams playoffs. Yeah, I know, it's just it's
kind of crazy to think about. No, they're they're pretty
hate Herble. I think Clipper Nation does not like Phoenix.
This has been this way for a while, going back
to losing Game seven and O six the Ewing play.
But a lot of people just don't like Devin Booker,
especially sure because he's so damn good lucky. I'm excited
for this because it's not This is more interesting to
me than just getting the Portland Trail Blazers and a
free win. It into it the first game.
Speaker 1: I'm different. I'm built entirely different. Give me that, give
me that one, give me that one, and oh I
just want the one and oh an easier one. To know,
this could very much be a win. I don't want
to make it seem like that, but it would be
pretty cool.
Speaker 3: I mean, I kind of like that. It's like putting
into a dome to the test, like how much can
the fans, you know, like bring energy and stuff to
the game, especially for a team that I mean will
hopefully have a full and healthy training camp in preseason.
But you know what, it is a new look. There
is going to be It's not gonna be the same
starting lineup, but some significant changes. So I think, you know,
it kind of puts it in the hands that some
of you out there.
Speaker 1: You're putting it on the fans. We lose, Willis say,
it's because the damn fans were bringing.
Speaker 2: Basically, just can't have a performance like Phoenix did against
the Dallas Mavericks and that game seven at home where
they got smoked. Can't have anything like that.
Speaker 1: That'll happen. No, that won't happen.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna it's gonna have some real intensity.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's well because remember we had a lot of
Murray on here, I think before the season last season,
and we were talking about some of these easier matchups
that you see in the beginning of the year. It's
not the same team that you're playing at the end
of the year, right, Like it's a team that's still shicken.
It's the first game of the season. Anything can happen, right,
Like Portland is bad, but they're a lot worse later
in the year than they are like the first game,
just because of that kind of and the health level too,
Like you.
Speaker 2: Got better though as the season went along. He was
rough to start, yes he was, but this is great.
Speaker 1: This clears out too. It's gonna be the only game
in LA that night, per law Murray. Someone on Twitter
was complaining that it's on the second night of a
back to back, but that is categorically untrue, right because
this is an opening night Celtics Knicks and then.
Speaker 2: The Phoenix play.
Speaker 1: Maybe let me check, Shams is going to tweet out
every single game one at a time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this slow faucet drip, that's right. Schedule so much
release the crack.
Speaker 1: And Timberwolves at Lakers, Kings at Celtics. That's what we
have for the opening night schedule. From what Shops said.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you got the defending champs and Lakers get interesting.
Uh so we know for sure it's on a back
to back for either team.
Speaker 1: I mean not for sure, but nothing's been I feel
like maybe we would have known because the Clippers. I
think we would have known if the Clippers were playing
on Opening Night. It would be insane for the NBA
also to have the Clippers play on Opening Night. Yeah,
like draw you know what I mean, That'd be some real,
like fueled by Shoden freud ratings, like.
Speaker 2: If they cared about into a dumb enough to do that.
But I don't see it happening.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Either way, I like the matchup. I like I like
that at this time, it counts type of thing. It
feels like a real you know, Phoenix wants the opportunity
to play spoiler trying to get back after having a
really bad and rocky year last year. Year swept out
of the playoffs on seremoniously by the Minnesota and Wolves.
So they're gonna be looking to get their lick back.
As Patrick Beverley used to say, And the Clippers are
looking to establish something and hopefully it's not just an
identity but a home court advantage in their new home.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Will is going to be coming at the fans
who were not loud enough for that way. Yeah, I'm
excited to see Terrence Man, you know, put up twenty six.
That's going to be crazy. See the controller in your seat.
Speaker 2: You can eject other fans if they're not.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the controller in the seat thing is maybe
a little so it like helps you do like participation
stuff on the board.
Speaker 2: That's a long time coming. Honestly, that's a good point.
That's really necessary.
Speaker 1: People have been clamoring for that. They had it, They've
had it in airplanes for decades. You think they would
have put it in stadium seats.
Speaker 2: You can play Keno at places with stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Well, do we have an other hosts trying to say
what's up right now?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Do show your dog? Dude, if you're only listening, you
can't see Will's Q dog?
Speaker 2: Is that the dog from something about Mary coming for
my neck?
Speaker 1: I'm excited opening night, not basketball wise, there's gotta be
like we were talking about the last minute. There's gotta
be some fast kind of thing happening on the giant
community space at opening night. Like Opening night, I feel
like even if you don't have a ticket to the game,
if you live close enough, there's gonna be stuff to do.
It's gonna be absolutely crazy around that in that community space.
Speaker 3: Or flip a car for the flippers, or flip a.
Speaker 1: Car for the clips. Dude, the clip flip over under
knee and ankle injuries on the community court, uh, game
one three and a half.
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm kind of interested in how they do this.
I'm guessing that they're gonna shut the court down on
games they have to. Yeah, I think that that is
going to be one part of the community space that's
probably changed a little bit when the when the games
are going on, or maybe when it gets dark out.
I don't know. Yeah, but they're gonna have to figure
out something about that.
Speaker 1: Or keep it open or just go crazy keep it open.
But I don't again that my ability seems crazy.
Speaker 3: I don't know either way. I want Coopers fans to
go so crazy that they got to start greecing polls
and Englewood or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some people aren't Clidt. But yeah, I did wake
up today and I was like, damn, that was such
a cool stadium. I can't wait to be back. Which
I haven't really thought about a stadium before.
Speaker 2: It was a surreal tour.
Speaker 1: It was weird in a good way.
Speaker 2: We don't normally feel that important, but yesterday was well,
that was awesome.
Speaker 1: Fans yelled at clips and dips, so thank you for
yelling at us, and we were walking by that.
Speaker 2: It is going to be a scene there during game day,
and I'm gonna guess it's just gonna be another form
of the event and there will be plenty of people
that go there, go there just to hang out, not
to go to the game, but almost like a tailgate
type of feel to it, you know, yeah, because they're
gonna have it on a huge projector right that screen.
They can put it on the screen that's by the
basketball court. I'm guessing right, I.
Speaker 3: Would imagine, Yeah, almost like the tagline the marats, they're
not there to work, they're not there to shop. They're
just there.
Speaker 1: If you Oh. Another thing that I liked at the stadium,
they're growing their own like strawberries and time and stuff
in the coolers. Which is interesting. I want to know
how much they're supposed to.
Speaker 2: It feels like the Martian or something with Matt dam
quantity does not appear to be there so far.
Speaker 3: But I'm sure they correct that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, the preseason. You know, they gotta see
how much stuff, how much they can bring. Yeah, anything
else really about the stadium or opening night. Kind of
just a quick bite episode here. Not a whole lot
of stuff going on, Nick, but Tum got bloodied in
the Olympics of the silver medal air in the gold
medal game. That was pretty crazy to see. Hats off
the team France, But you know us say, I don't
know what to say.
Speaker 2: The deck was stacked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, against the US playing the playing the host nation.
Huh okay, sure, that's that's how it shakes it.
Speaker 2: Hey, Wemby, in four years, woo baby, it could be
in four years, everybody's gonna be licking their chops because
Lebron's not going to be there. STEP's not going to
be there, Katie's not going to be there. It's gonna
be different. That may be the time where the international
teams are.
Speaker 1: Going to be like Aunt and Jaw leading the way
and job Triple J.
Speaker 2: Devin Booker could still be there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be like thirty mm, it'll be.
Speaker 2: Max Christy, yeah, Kobe Brown, it'll be the Clippers plus
the rest.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Kai Jones. All right, I think that about
wraps up. We're gonna let people get to their week.
Thank you everyone who hung out on the live stream
last Friday. That was a fun time. Someone said that
we shouldn't have complained about Someone's like, how are you
complaining about Christmas Day games? I was like, A, we
can complain about anything. B Adam has to work on
the Christmas Day games. He should have a day off,
just like the players. I think that's fair. It's Christmas.
Speaker 2: I look at it. I'm good either way. It's kind
of fun Christmas Day games. And then if you have
it off, that's cool too, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Adam playing both sides masterful gambit will if people want,

sarcastic people, but we don't have enough glowing things to
say about into it, don't. We really don't. It was
are away mind blowing to be there, especially again to

seat in the house, that actually is telling the truth
this time.

be next week. Thank you noyone for hanging out and
