Speaker 1: Welcome in to an off season edition of Clippers Talk.
Speaker 1: You may be watching this on YouTube. You may be
Speaker 1: thinking that you're watching this on the Clips and Dip
Speaker 1: podcast page. Well, I've gone solo, Me, Chuck and Will.
Speaker 1: We've all broken up familiarity, breedze, contempt. No, it's nothing
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: We were on a break.
Speaker 1: I just I gotta get more stuff out. There's so
Speaker 1: much to talk about with this team, and so little
Speaker 1: time before the season starts just two months away. I
Speaker 1: thought I would start my own YouTube channel connected up
Speaker 1: with Clippers Talk, which is already something you could subscribe
Speaker 1: to on Spotify on iTunes. We've been doing this for
Speaker 1: some time now in a five seventy LA sports. You're
Speaker 1: a home with the Clippers. So we'll have it in
Speaker 1: podcast form audio only, and then we'll have the vodcast
Speaker 1: is what they call it. Yeah, we'll have that too
Speaker 1: at follow Adam a on YouTube, just like my Twitter
Speaker 1: x handles at follow out of Ma same thing on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Some people want me to put it on TikTok too. Well,
Speaker 1: they don't like long form videos. And even though I'm
Speaker 1: doing some shorts and I'm showing you some behind the
Speaker 1: scenes stuff with my life. I think I took a
Speaker 1: video of my sister earlier that was kind of weird.
Speaker 1: She was holding a Chicago Bulls starter jacket. Even though
Speaker 1: I'm doing other things, maybe some fitness advice on my
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, I just look. I'm trying to make sure
Speaker 1: that we don't run into the same problem that we
Speaker 1: are right now with streaming. The rebundling must start because
Speaker 1: I am so damn tired of having to go to
Speaker 1: five different places to watch TV shows, to watch movies.
Speaker 1: Nobody likes it. I know we all wanted to cut
Speaker 1: the cord. Initially, we were wrong. We have to admit
Speaker 1: that now, so I'm not going to do the same
Speaker 1: damn thing. There's just two places to find me and
Speaker 1: at follow Out of May is the handle for both
Speaker 1: on YouTube now and on x been there since two
Speaker 1: thousand and nine or something like that. Got my birthday
Speaker 1: balloons on Twitter recently. So This is an off seasoned
Speaker 1: edition of Clippers Talk edition and edition with some of
Speaker 1: the guys that are now on the squad some of
Speaker 1: the guys who are gone. We'll talk about some of that.
Speaker 1: We've discussed it at nauseum.
Speaker 2: Paul George PG.
Speaker 1: Thirteen with CND with Chuck and Will on the Clips
Speaker 1: and Dip podcast. Still, I think I have a few
Speaker 1: more things to say. I think Matt Moore might join
Speaker 1: me from HP Basketball because we got into a Twitter
Speaker 1: spat recently, so that could be entertaining a little back
Speaker 1: and forth, a little embraced debate. Speaking of more on
Speaker 1: that in a little bit here with some comments from
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith. I put out a tweet earlier at
Speaker 1: follow out of May. That's really the only reason I'm
Speaker 1: doing this episode. I just feel compelled to talk to
Speaker 1: you right now. I get these urges to want to
Speaker 1: talk more and more about the Clippers, and sometimes I
Speaker 1: can't wait for Chucking Will. I just got to go
Speaker 1: and I have the capabilities here, got the microphone, got
Speaker 1: the HD stream going, and a little bit of a
Speaker 1: show for you, even though we're two months away from
Speaker 1: being it into a dome. If you haven't gotten the
Speaker 1: tour yet, I have not checking for that email.
Speaker 2: Or I gotten it back yet. No, maybe they fired me.
Speaker 1: No, I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get some video
Speaker 1: for you add into a dome. I'm not Carlo Jimenez
Speaker 1: with the tiktoking and the snap faces and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: and I can't edit the way he can, but I
Speaker 1: can do something. I could do something for you. I
Speaker 1: just want to bring you more and more Clippers content,
Speaker 1: and that's really what this channel is about. It will
Speaker 1: veer off into some other areas and maybe I'll be
Speaker 1: talking about Game of Thrones later or anything like that.
Speaker 1: I just earlier today. It was a little bit impulsive,
Speaker 1: but I made the commitment to be involved with social
Speaker 1: media more for a year and just see how it goes.
Speaker 1: See if I can grow the account at all. See
Speaker 1: people care, if they're interested, if they.
Speaker 2: Want more Clippers Talk from me.
Speaker 1: There is an off season edition. We won't have any
Speaker 1: Clippers basketball Summer League's over two and a half muscle
Speaker 1: the season stars. But again we got a pretty good
Speaker 1: I don't know, we're poor myself in the audience here.
Speaker 2: We've been doing this a long time.
Speaker 1: Those of you that have listened to Clippers Talk, the
Speaker 1: Official Clippers podcast and show prehalf in post is what
Speaker 1: I like to do. It is one of my favorite
Speaker 1: things in the world. And every postgame show with Clippers
Speaker 1: Talk where we take callers, we'll be doing that here
Speaker 1: so much, just podcast form. Maybe at some point I'll
Speaker 1: do some live streams and stuff, but every show ends
Speaker 1: up at Clippers Talk on Spotify, on iTunes, wherever else
Speaker 1: you find it now on YouTube and video form. If
Speaker 1: you want to see me wearing a black tank top
Speaker 1: like I'm Pat McAfee. It's not homage to him or
Speaker 1: anything like that. It's just really damn hot lately. And
Speaker 1: you know, I roll with the original pms. Not the
Speaker 1: original original, but the show Petro some money show. Those
Speaker 1: are my guys. Pat McAfee's fine, whatever, don't care.
Speaker 2: I will go after somebody else.
Speaker 1: Though a little bit later here in the show, I
Speaker 1: do feel you know what I'm gonna get you right now,
Speaker 1: some type of way over a tweet I saw a
Speaker 1: little bit earlier.
Speaker 2: If you're looking at my account at follow out of May,
Speaker 2: I gave it a retweet.
Speaker 1: It came from I had to double check this NBA Central,
Speaker 1: the Dunk Central, which I think, while an aggregator does
Speaker 1: not put out, you know, fake tweets. Barry mccochner stuff,
Speaker 1: who I do like and I've interviewed before, but it's
Speaker 1: not a fake account like MLB Facts with an X
Speaker 1: that says Mike Trout has missed the last three thousand
Speaker 1: games straight. It's an MLB record. It's nothing like that.
Speaker 1: Now there is another one called NBA Central.
Speaker 2: I think that.
Speaker 1: Tries to throw people off, like a fake WOJ account.
Speaker 1: But this one, NBA Central, is legit. How do I
Speaker 1: know it's legit. Well, it's got one point six million followers.
Speaker 1: I've got like less than twenty right now on YouTube.
Speaker 1: I'm just starting. Give me a break. But the content
Speaker 1: that they put up earlier today comes from First Take,
Speaker 1: And while they didn't post the clip, they posted a
Speaker 1: snippet a quote from Steven A. Smith, something we've seen
Speaker 1: many times before because one of his favorite people, for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, to go after is Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 2: Full disclosure. I met Steven A.
Speaker 1: Smith one time at Fox Sports Radio back when he
Speaker 1: was there. I went and got him pancakes late night
Speaker 1: from someplace. He was nice, much quieter off the air,
Speaker 1: and by all accounts, really good guy behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: Of course, you don't get to see that side of him.
Speaker 1: You get stuff like this, him saying, quote Kawhi Leonard
Speaker 1: invents ways to get her.
Speaker 2: Now, am I part of the problem too?
Speaker 1: Because I am dunking on that comment and using it
Speaker 1: to create my own content.
Speaker 2: Here a little bit.
Speaker 1: We were all guilty of it from time to day time.
Speaker 1: But this is not the first time that stephen A
Speaker 1: has said this about Kawhi Leonard or something to this effect.
Speaker 2: Remember after you got hurt, tore the.
Speaker 1: Meniscus right knee in game two, might've actually tour it
Speaker 1: in game one, played through it in game two, wasn't
Speaker 1: able to go the rest of the series against the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns in twenty twenty three in the first round, well,
Speaker 1: he said he should retire. Then Kawhi Leonard came back,
Speaker 1: had one of his best seasons last year. Ever regular
Speaker 1: season wise ended up I think at sixty seven and
Speaker 1: sixty eight games played before. Unfortunately then he was swallowed
Speaker 1: up again or swollowed up again. But he had a
Speaker 1: stretch that was historic. I was chronicling it saying Kawhi
Speaker 1: for MVP with a hashtag all over Twitter. I was
Speaker 1: trying to make sure everybody knew just how efficient he was.
Speaker 1: Where over a thirty game stretch, he set the all
Speaker 1: time efficiency record an NBA history over that long of
Speaker 1: a period of time, shooting shooting splits of fifty seven
Speaker 1: fifty one ninety fifty seven percent from the floor, fifty
Speaker 1: one percent from three ninety percent for the free throw
Speaker 1: line over a thirty game span. God Tyr is just
Speaker 1: scratching the surface of what he was doing. Basketball deirvana
Speaker 1: was being reached. It was unbelievable. And I've said this
Speaker 1: before and I'll say it again because I'm hoping for
Speaker 1: it to happen again. When Kawhi Leonard has gotten hurt,
Speaker 1: he has come back stronger and a more efficient player.
Speaker 2: That's a fact we've seen.
Speaker 1: People always talk about the run in twenty nineteen with
Speaker 1: the Toronto Raptors. The numbers he was putting up in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one with the Clippers were even better in
Speaker 1: the playoffs before he got hurt. The numbers he just
Speaker 1: put up last year coming off the meniscus.
Speaker 2: That's the best regular season stretch up.
Speaker 1: His career, and people slept on it. They weren't paying attention.
Speaker 1: Why the Clippers were at the top of the conference
Speaker 1: for about two days if that, and then they went
Speaker 1: through that swoon in January and February dropped down to
Speaker 1: fourth place. He gets hurt on March thirty first, apparently
Speaker 1: against the Charlotte Hornets. Was out after that tried to
Speaker 1: give it a go in the playoffs. And this is
Speaker 1: kind of the crux of the issue here. This is
Speaker 1: where I have a problem with Stephen A. Smith. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to go after him like he went after
Speaker 1: Kalmi Brown, but there are I'm sure people in the business,
Speaker 1: in the industry that feel the same way about him
Speaker 1: and his ran about kawme because he does stuff like this,
Speaker 1: and I get it. He is ESPN and this is
Speaker 1: how he gets paid, and apparently he's damn good at it.
Speaker 1: He's the highest paid person there. But he says ridiculous
Speaker 1: things for attention. Quote Kawhi Leonard in Ben's Ways to
Speaker 1: get hurt, quote Kawhi Leonards to retire, he finds a
Speaker 1: polarizing subject. This is what.
Speaker 2: Gets me going.
Speaker 1: People act like there are actually classes on sports media
Speaker 1: and broadcasting and journalism. There are classes out there. I
Speaker 1: think my friend Rob Parker teaches one of them. Maybe
Speaker 1: a usc love Rob the hobmong the YouTube at some
Speaker 1: point on clipper Stock. But there are actual sports media
Speaker 1: classes out there, Like it's not obvious what Stephen A.
Speaker 1: Smith is doing, Like they have to teach you a
Speaker 1: class about what's happening here. The jig is up, guys.
Speaker 1: It's pretty obvious to everyone, at least it should be.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lay it out for you.
Speaker 2: All you do to gain attention.
Speaker 1: Is get on a big enough platform, say some inflammatory,
Speaker 1: usually inaccurate things, some low information takes about a polarizing
Speaker 1: team or polarizing player, teams like the Lakers and Cowboys
Speaker 1: or Patriots, or players like Tom Brady and Lebron James.
Speaker 1: And what you do is you split the audience into two,
Speaker 1: not in a bad way, not like you're talking politics
Speaker 1: and you're gonna lose half the audience. You actually gain
Speaker 1: both sides because you garner attention from the positive side
Speaker 1: of the group that likes what you're saying, loves that player,
Speaker 1: loves that team. If that's the angle you're taking, say,
Speaker 1: it's I don't know, Skip Bayless defending Michael Jordan as
Speaker 1: if his legacy hasn't been defended enough all the time.
Speaker 1: It is a religion for some of these older gentlemen
Speaker 1: saying get off my lawn, or shaking their fists of
Speaker 1: the clouds, get off my clouds. Kind of what they're saying, the.
Speaker 2: Old ways were better.
Speaker 1: I think their nostalgia tripping. That's beside the point. Half
Speaker 1: the people are going to agree with them and they're
Speaker 1: gonna get attention off of that.
Speaker 2: The other half.
Speaker 1: They're gonna hate what they're saying, but they're gonna hate
Speaker 1: watch it. They're gonna continue to watch to hate watch
Speaker 1: like I have with somebody shows I should have gotten
Speaker 1: out of earlier, like The Walking Dead, like how did
Speaker 1: I make it to Season seven? Stupid Mayer and stuff,
Speaker 1: and then Nakan the Bat that was a pretty good
Speaker 1: tease of whoho is going to kill? But they killed
Speaker 1: two people.
Speaker 2: This is what sports media has become.
Speaker 1: Just talk about someone polarizing, talk about a team that
Speaker 1: people love to hate and some people love to love,
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys, and you will get your audience. And
Speaker 1: it's so simplistic and so it's sports simpleton. That's what
Speaker 1: it is, sports simpleton talk. I hate it. I've been
Speaker 1: asking for this for a while. I've been waiting for
Speaker 1: a hot take bubble to come. Maybe it's happening Skip Bayless.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's retiring or just leaving FS one,
Speaker 1: but people are patting him on the back, like Nick
Speaker 1: Right and saying he carved out a lane.
Speaker 2: Nick right.
Speaker 1: I think acknowledge that he might not have a job
Speaker 1: or be in this business and the manner he is
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for guys like Skip Bayless. I think
Speaker 1: it is some of the downfall of sports talk, of commentary,
Speaker 1: of analysis.
Speaker 2: If you want to call it that.
Speaker 1: Some people call it journalism. The landscape has changed so much,
Speaker 1: but it's just so transparent what's going on. It's so
Speaker 1: easy to be divisive. I don't see it as talent
Speaker 1: so much. It's just a formula for success, an easy
Speaker 1: one that they've been writing for so long, like a
Speaker 1: bad dose coin or something some whacked out crypto Kanye coin.
Speaker 1: What is that still around? Do I still have some.
Speaker 2: The bubble may be happening before our eyes.
Speaker 1: I think people are starting to tune out guys like
Speaker 1: Steven A a little bit more. I think the rating
Speaker 1: can say that, I don't know if it's a cry
Speaker 1: wolf thing. How many times do we have to hear
Speaker 1: false narratives and inflammatory speak and outrageous takes when we
Speaker 1: know better. Granted, sometimes once in a while it's entertaining.
Speaker 1: He was screaming about weed. Lay off the weed. I
Speaker 1: once in a while, Max Kellerman saying I want a
Speaker 1: goadala that gets used in the DJ beat, But I
Speaker 1: think it's just so appealing to the lowest common denominator
Speaker 1: that I think is starting to smart and smarten up.
Speaker 2: And I'm hoping.
Speaker 1: Because I really changed things here with my one reach
Speaker 1: wheet of the Steven A. Smith quote regarding Kawhi Leonard saying,
Speaker 1: quote Kawhi Leonard events ways to get hurt, and me saying,
Speaker 1: Kawhi is trying to give it a go in Game three,
Speaker 1: as I posted the clip of him hanging on the
Speaker 1: rim against the Dallas Mavericks when he probably shouldn't have
Speaker 1: been playing at that point, but was trying so hard
Speaker 1: to go for the Clippers. He was laboring out there,
Speaker 1: noticeably gimpy, limping around, and he caught that alley from
Speaker 1: Paul George, who I don't know why he was throwing
Speaker 1: him an lu if he knows Kawhy is hurt.
Speaker 2: Kawi went up and.
Speaker 1: Got it, and then he hung on the rim, afraid
Speaker 1: to land. It looked like because of that impact on
Speaker 1: the force of hitting the court on his right knee.
Speaker 1: It's hard to watch, it's painful to watch, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure it was painful to be out there.
Speaker 2: And he was.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me he's inventing ways to get hurt. Don't
Speaker 1: tell me he doesn't love basketball. Don't tell me he
Speaker 1: isn't trying to win a championship for the Clippers. His
Speaker 1: body has betrayed him. Yes, that's a fact he's been
Speaker 1: injury prone. It's a fact he hasn't been able to
Speaker 1: close out a season the last four for the Clippers.
Speaker 1: No one is more upset about this than Kawhi just
Speaker 1: because he's not holding the press conference, just because he's
Speaker 1: not putting the press sho release out there on social media.
Speaker 1: And I know he doesn't need me defending him. But
Speaker 1: when you see Lawrence Frank out there talking about Team
Speaker 1: USA sticking up for his guy and Kawhi, you knew
Speaker 1: who was disappointed I'd being able to play. And we've
Speaker 1: talked about what seems like a double standard. Kevin Urant
Speaker 1: didn't play at all in exhibition games that for TMOSA
Speaker 1: this year, but they kept him on the team. Okay,
Speaker 1: didn't seem like much of a collaborative effort with Kawhi
Speaker 1: Leonard and the Clippers for why he was left off
Speaker 1: Team USA.
Speaker 2: Different subject for a different day.
Speaker 1: We talked about it on Clips and Dip with til
Speaker 1: Marrazari a couple of weeks ago. But he wants to play.
Speaker 1: You don't got to kick a guy when he's down.
Speaker 1: That's what Steven A. Smith is doing. And it's just
Speaker 1: so weak and just it gets me irked because he's
Speaker 1: gonna get eyeballs over and a lot of low level
Speaker 1: NBA people are gonna be like, yeah, Coawha never plays,
Speaker 1: he can never play. You can never make it through
Speaker 1: the playoffs, make it through the regular season. It's like,
Speaker 1: what do you want to do? Scream at his knee
Speaker 1: stop swelling, and what can he do outside of put
Speaker 1: the work in, do his best, be prepared for each
Speaker 1: and every season. I mean, now we see we hear
Speaker 1: the same people who are giving him grief for allegedly
Speaker 1: load managing when I think he was hurt. You saw
Speaker 1: him limping around the twenty nineteen finals, was coming off
Speaker 1: that injury. Load managed the first couple of years with
Speaker 1: the Clippers. It's like, yeah, I think if there's anyone
Speaker 1: who's rightfully load managing, I think it's a guy like
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard. I think it's someone who's one of the
Speaker 1: greatest NBA players at his peak in a high leverage
Speaker 1: situation in a playoff series.
Speaker 2: That we've ever seen.
Speaker 1: I think there's probably a top ten all time playoff performer.
Speaker 1: You look at his numbers over his last sixty playoff
Speaker 1: games since he became an undisputed Number one was San
Speaker 1: Antonio in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: Ridiculous numbers.
Speaker 1: Over thirty points, over fifty percent, shooting about forty percent
Speaker 1: from the outside. He's a playoff all time riser. But
Speaker 1: to continually harp on it and go after him for
Speaker 1: not being out there doesn't really help the situation much.
Speaker 1: He wants to be out there. If his body allows
Speaker 1: him to be out hit there, he'll be out there.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know a guy like Steven A.
Speaker 2: Smith who.
Speaker 1: Seen some of his basketball highlights. Not that I say,
Speaker 1: because you know who am I that would be.
Speaker 2: Hypocritical of me.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you got to be a professional basketball
Speaker 1: player to criticize guys. But I'm saying, if you're going
Speaker 1: after someone for trying to play, playing through it, being
Speaker 1: injury prone, no fault of his own, his body betraying him,
Speaker 1: that might be crossing the line. As someone who didn't
Speaker 1: play at the highest level that suspect to me. But again,
Speaker 1: the attention is going to be there regardless unless we
Speaker 1: get rid of this hot take bubble world we have
Speaker 1: been living in for far too long now. It would
Speaker 1: be great to have some more honest sports takes, like
Speaker 1: how is Tim Leagler not the most well known basketball
Speaker 1: guy on ESPN. He's brilliant. He's hopefully going to be
Speaker 1: calling a lot more games next season. I don't know
Speaker 1: why that hasn't started up before this him as the
Speaker 1: color commentator. Fantastic, He's an actual basketball analyst. Instead, we
Speaker 1: have to listen to stephen A and Kendrick Perkins routinely
Speaker 1: get the facts wrong and just spit out hot take
Speaker 1: after hot take, with Bob Myers trying to join them,
Speaker 1: I don't know, reduce himself to throwing out hot takes.
Speaker 2: It's tough.
Speaker 1: I love the TNT guys, I also feel like they
Speaker 1: could do a little bit more basketball analysis. I understand
Speaker 1: the point of their the most entertaining of the hot
Speaker 1: take artists out there, and they are Sometimes they sound
Speaker 1: pretty well informed and like they don't actually watch games,
Speaker 1: and I think they've admitted that many times before. Still,
Speaker 1: they are the most entertaining studio hosts in the history
Speaker 1: of existence. That's not the case with Stephen A. Smith.
Speaker 1: A lot of these guys are just living off of
Speaker 1: saying inaccurate things for far too long. And I just
Speaker 1: did not like what he said about Kawhi Leonard over
Speaker 1: the last week and what he's been saying about him
Speaker 1: now for a couple of years. How is he the
Speaker 1: guy to tell someone else to retire a professional athlete. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't as hot in here earlier, but
Speaker 1: now I'm kind of kind of getting myself worked up
Speaker 1: a little bit here.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: He's the best at his craft. This is what he does,
Speaker 1: this is how he's made a living. Doesn't mean it
Speaker 1: can't push back, not that Kawhi needs my help. And yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm using him for content, just like he does
Speaker 1: with other stuff. Ah, it's tough not to well. I
Speaker 1: have to live with those double standards sometimes rules for the.
Speaker 2: Not for me.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm not telling any professional athlete to retire, not
Speaker 1: in a position where I'd feel comfortable ever doing that.
Speaker 1: But the clickbaiting, the aggregating, this is what works.
Speaker 2: I'm hoping.
Speaker 1: I'll play less of the game myself and just talk
Speaker 1: more Clippers basketball as we move along here. I do
Speaker 1: want to talk with I believe he's at HP Basketball.
Speaker 1: Matt Moore. Yeah, Matt Moore, NBA writer for Action Network HQ. Now,
Speaker 1: we did get into a debate about Paul George or
Speaker 1: he said something that I found to be a little
Speaker 1: bit off, and I'll just give you a preview of
Speaker 1: that in case I have him on later this week.
Speaker 1: I am efforting that conversation, but he said something to
Speaker 1: see the effect of what they'll miss most is Paul
Speaker 1: George's leadership. I'm not sure that's the case. They will
Speaker 1: miss Paul George. I think on the court is basketball talent. Yes,
Speaker 1: there's no way to replace that guy. However, the way
Speaker 1: the Clippers have pivoted pretty impressive. From the front office.
Speaker 1: I have to say, I'm a big Lawrence Frank guy.
Speaker 1: Let Lawrence Frank cook. This offseason. You got to see
Speaker 1: him a little bit less restricted with some of the
Speaker 1: moves he's been making and how he'd liked to build
Speaker 1: the team because they're under both aprons. So am I
Speaker 1: excited for Clippers basketball? Yes, this defensive oriented team that
Speaker 1: we're gonna be looking at this year, It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: You can win a lot of games on defense, God willing,
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonards is healthy, James Harden and the Clippers still
Speaker 1: have enough on the offensive side to scare a lot
Speaker 1: of teams in this league. I just want to see
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard be healthy. That's what we all want.
Speaker 2: I think we all want.
Speaker 1: Well, this has been an off season addition of Clippers talk.
Speaker 1: I'm oudam Oslin and these impromptu episodes could just be
Speaker 1: happening now. I don't know. I see something else on
Speaker 1: Twitter gets me going. Somebody was telling me about Kayi
Speaker 1: Jones and how he should be the starter. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: try to put that to rest. As the rumors are
Speaker 1: eat to Zubots, you know, contract extension, who knows could
Speaker 1: be coming. We just saw another big man and Jared
Speaker 1: Allen get paid in the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it beats
Speaker 1: Zubots top five room protector has been pretty much the
Speaker 1: entire time he's been in the league so far. So
Speaker 1: maybe I'll address that a little bit later this week.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just like the freedom to be
Speaker 1: able to crack a mic and turn it on whenever
Speaker 1: I feel like it. If you're listening to this on
Speaker 1: the Spotify side, on the iTunes side, on the podcast side,
Speaker 1: well that's cool, but maybe give me a subscribe on YouTube,
Speaker 1: check out the video, maybe watch clips and dip. I
Speaker 1: don't normally wear a tank top on there a jersey.
Speaker 1: I have one before Dick Povetta. But yeah, I'm in
Speaker 1: rare form in some ways going after the sports media landscape.
Speaker 2: On the hot take bubble.
Speaker 1: That may have just popped a little.
Speaker 2: Bit, a little a little bit of the air came out.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Skip Bayless is probably gonna go back
Speaker 1: on ESPN. He mad Dog and Steven A. Smith will
Speaker 1: endlessly going after one another. Oh that would be painful,
Speaker 1: and mad Dog's another one. Yeah, I don't want to
Speaker 1: have to light up too many people here. I could
Speaker 1: just start playing clips, but then I may copyright stuff YouTube.
Speaker 1: I don't know how all this works. You guys know
Speaker 1: me and technology. We're trying to figure things out together,
Speaker 1: our relationships. A little bit afraid. Until next time, this
Speaker 1: has been Clippers talk. I'm out a Mason, I'll talk to.
Speaker 2: You later this week.
Speaker 1: More
