Stompin’ at the NBA playoffs

WEBVTT

1
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:15.400
Welcome back to a live recorded show
as opposed to the past future. The

2
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.519
past couple of weeks, we've been
revisiting older episodes because I was in Europe

3
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.879
for a month. You were there
during Sheffield. I was there during Sheffield,

4
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.000
and I obviously didn't. I'm not
going to drag my wife to Sheffield,

5
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:33.840
sheffields of City. Yeah. I
saw that Omar was there and yeah,

6
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.320
him and Eric Helms went out.
I think for a little content and

7
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.320
project. We watched it here a
little bit. We had it on in

8
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:47.320
the gym. Powerlifting is a interesting
thing because they like hype that up like

9
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.600
crazy, and it was cool.
Yeah, but like still I think it

10
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.840
was like, you know, and
this is the same conversation we've had with

11
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.520
many guests on here, Garrett and
others when we're talking about Girl in the

12
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:02.920
Sport had like eight thousand views maybe
on You Too Live and you're like,

13
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:04.680
oh, I'm not supposed to be
like a super Bowl. Yeah, and

14
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.040
we and how much money did they
spend on that? Yeah? Right,

15
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.519
if they spent whatever the prize money
was one hundred fifty k or something,

16
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.239
that's not a good return when you
imagine probably double that for the venue.

17
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.319
And the flying people in right,
you would you hope they would at least

18
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.359
fly those kids in the athletes and
give them a hotel or give them a

19
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.319
something, a stipend to travel.
Yeah, it's just like, man,

20
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.359
we're so we're still so far off. It's just not fun to watch.

21
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.319
And I'll argue that to the day
I die, Like, I want to

22
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:38.480
watch it, but I know the
people, I know the people competing,

23
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.640
I know the ins and outs.
I don't know, I'm not I'm not

24
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.159
gonna watch it if I don't know
the people people competing, or if there

25
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.040
isn't a record up. Yeah,
honestly, like, and it's just not

26
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.040
that exciting. I say that as
someone who because the baseball season started while

27
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.519
I was in Europe and so the
timing was off. I mean I could

28
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.439
have I could have watched like the
MLB package, I could, I could

29
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:01.799
have watched it, but like,
I'm just gonna stay up all night to

30
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.480
watch game. Even that we talked
about it too. The NBA and the

31
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.919
MLB seasons are just so long.
So I love basketball, but I'm I'm

32
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:14.080
not going to really watch. Yeah, major League Baseball games are about a

33
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:15.879
half hour shorter this year. Because
of the rule changes. Yeah, but

34
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.199
even then, what there's fucking one
hundred and eighty per team or some crazy

35
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.520
shit, yeah, one hundred and
sixty two. Yeah, there's so many

36
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:28.400
games, like I'll follow even this
NBA season. I followed the Kings obviously

37
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.520
because it's a first good season a
long time. Jim and I just went

38
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.680
to the playoff game last night,
but like, yeah, I'm watching like

39
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.000
the box score, I'm not gonna
you can't watch every game, and then

40
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.240
even if you do want to watch
every game, Baseball might be different in

41
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.719
this regard, but like, guys
aren't just going they're just not going that

42
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.159
hard in basketball because they can't.
They can't, like you can't and survive

43
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:51.960
the season. Yeah, and you
can't like give that much, like meaning

44
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.000
teach game, like you can't play
your hard out like yeah, injuries,

45
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:59.360
but then let alone just like because
yeah, every game matters, but some

46
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.280
you know, you're you're somewhere in
between a coast and hitting the gas,

47
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.080
like you're not peddled to the medal. But that's what makes playoffs so fun,

48
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:08.240
right, Yeah, it's all crazy. Yeah, because last night it

49
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.960
was like there was no it was
relentless. Yeah, especially the Kings.

50
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.000
I mean they're they're playing like their
entire life depends on him. Then it

51
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:16.520
does in some sense. Right,
they win, they probably get they get

52
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.080
money bonuses, They're more likely to
get signed to our team or whatever team

53
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.960
wants them next, like your career
is on the line. Plus Mike Brown,

54
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.319
the coach Coach of the Year,
which is amazing, has done such

55
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.159
a good job of like tying them
all together and wanting to win, being

56
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.560
a part of something bigger than themselves, like Mike Brown. Mike Brown,

57
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.759
for those that don't know, was
the main coach a coach Lebron too a

58
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.360
bunch of titles in Cleveland. He
actually backed up Kerr. I forgot.

59
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.919
I think there was controversy. I
think maybe when Lebron left he had a

60
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.719
little bit of like, um bad
look on his name. I think it

61
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.560
was just because Lebron left, and
then the Calves sucked and he coached them

62
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.599
for like a year, you know, so he went back to an assistant

63
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.919
role with Steve Kerr. I think
he won a championship with them, and

64
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:59.520
then I think this is his first
lead role since then. And obviously,

65
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.719
yeah, Coach of the Year brought
a tenth seed team to the third third

66
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:08.800
seed already went in a playoff series
potentially, but like, yeah, there's

67
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.439
just like so much more meaning in
what's going on and for the city.

68
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.120
But his praise of the city's really
cool. That's something that kind of gets

69
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.800
me fired up, because like Cleveland's
a big sportstown, yeah, you know,

70
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.160
and like Sacramento is not really a
sports town. It is a basketball

71
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.439
town, but it's not really a
sportstown. No one ever thinks about it,

72
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.639
and we've been here and we don't
even think. That's not the first

73
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.560
thing that pops in our head,
although the Kings fans are crazy, but

74
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.800
it's cool to see the city come
alive. And it's obviously the first playoffs

75
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.920
just NBA history for all the Kings
were going to move or be sold what

76
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.120
I guess seven years and year ago, really goddamn. Yeah, it's been

77
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:48.079
a ten years ago ish and there
old arena was cool, but it was

78
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.560
really old. It's from the eighties
when they moved here from Kansas City,

79
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:55.399
and it was out by our airport, which isn't far from Third Street,

80
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.319
but it's ten minutes. It's kind
of in the middle of nowhere. It's

81
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.040
a bunch of McDonald's and random shoot
out there a regular suburb. Six years

82
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.360
ago, seven years ago. Then
we built an arena downtown, or at

83
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:09.439
least opened after saving the team and
keeping them here. And obviously we had

84
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.480
the biggest rout in all sports playoffs. But just to remind you Warriors fans,

85
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.720
you've also had that same drought,
all you shit talkers, you were

86
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.959
also seventeen years not in the playoffs. But beside the point, and then

87
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:24.160
I love stats. You know,
people just come with all these arguments.

88
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:30.879
Yeah, who's the little political fucker
facts over feelings. I don't like that

89
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.120
guy, But that statement is great, right because everyone's always spitting all this

90
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.759
bullshit. But then Warriors fans don't
know what's going on. Shapiro, it's

91
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:42.160
Shapiro, but whatever. Yeah,
but it is true. And so beside

92
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.360
the point, Um, yeah,
we had a long drought. And so

93
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.480
to see the arena, which is
dead middle of the city, right by

94
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.680
Third Street, less than a mile
maybe a mile, um, like,

95
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.680
just have so much life about it. It's really fun to see. So

96
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.360
we went to the game Saturday.
I think you were either flying or on

97
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.040
your way back. I know I
was home on TV. Yeah, we

98
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.000
we went to because there's a viewing
party outside. I see everybody in a

99
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.279
good mood in this city alive.
And then and then going to the game

100
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:09.600
last night, it was it was
cool because I can't quite remember, but

101
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:14.480
I'm pretty sure I probably went to
a playoff game and the two's the oh

102
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.720
Ones at some point. I've only
been of the three major sports in America.

103
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:24.000
The only playoff game that I that
I've been to was a Niner game.

104
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.639
Oh really yeah, yeah, Niners
Vikings years ago. I don't think

105
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.959
I've been to probably only basketball.
I went to a calvs. Raptors game

106
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.439
when I was visiting our omar and
they just happened to be in town.

107
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:39.000
I bought a ticket, but the
hype even then wasn't the same. You

108
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.959
know, Toronto was in a sports
town to say, particularly sports zone.

109
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.639
But the seconds are crazy. And
going back to Mike Brown, who coached

110
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.199
Lebron Freaking James, you know,
he's talking about how crazy our fans in

111
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:54.000
it are and how loud our stadium
is compared everywhere else. I literally did

112
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.040
a laid we dipped quick after the
game. Game ended at what maybe nine

113
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.920
forty five or something. Yeah,
we were at our bikes because I live

114
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:06.000
closish um hauled as home literally went
to bed, uh, because I'm normally

115
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.040
about at eight and it's already ten
and my ears are ringing like I went

116
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:14.120
to a rock concert an experience at
all, and I you know, I've

117
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.920
talked about the fact that I have
a hearing loss, speaking of which and

118
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.439
I wear hearing its okay, everybody
should know that. Um. And it's

119
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.800
really sort of the upper range that
I'm that I'm missing now. Yeah,

120
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.360
and uh, I had to go
in yesterday because like while I was gone,

121
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.720
one of my hearing has decided to
just not work correctly. And then

122
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:40.399
I got home and it healed itself, but I'd already made disappointment, so

123
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:44.360
I went in to deal with whatever
and the euro air. Yeah, and

124
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:46.639
I don't know what it was,
honestly, I don't know if it was

125
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.680
that it was the difference in in
you know, it's like the power conversion

126
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:55.439
or it's possibly but I don't think
so. Um. But there's a little

127
00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:00.199
like plastic dome thing that sits on
the or silicone dome thing that's lent top

128
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:05.319
of it keeps stuff from getting into
the hearing. It just guts whatever and

129
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:11.360
um, so the tech is looking
at at you know, not the one

130
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.279
that was that I was having trouble
with it. The other one. She's

131
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:15.959
like, where's the dome on that? And I said, I don't know.

132
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.560
I had trouble putting on the last
one. I have no idea where

133
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.680
it is, just like maybe it's
in your ear, and she looks in

134
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:26.920
my hair and there it is and
it's gotten stuffed way back in there.

135
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:33.559
So it's like next to my um
takes my ear drums to take me downstairs

136
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.240
to a to a E and d
who a doctor you know who showed me

137
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.759
the inside of my ear, which
was really interesting and he pulled it out.

138
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.200
It was Yeah, it was a
whole effect procedure. Yeah, it

139
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.679
was a whole experience yesterday. Yeah. That's like kids. Why kids always

140
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.960
like kids and dogs? I don't
know why, but it's something I've never

141
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.080
experienced where they just shove things in
holes. Yeah, I don't know why

142
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.440
kids do that, but I know
my um, like I think my cousin

143
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.960
had a quarter, not a quarter
with like a penny or nickel, like

144
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.559
so far up as schnas and he's
like three you know this is years ago,

145
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.559
but they had to go get surgery
and ship or dogs always hear about

146
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.639
dogs doing that stuff. I'm like, she just watched her dog, Like

147
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.320
I just watched my dog. Right, I'm gonna make sure he doesn't doesn't

148
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.399
make sure that there's not stuff out
that they Yeah, yeah, obviously I

149
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.279
don't have perfect dogs. They're they're
eating their toy and then I see that

150
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.279
and I take it away from him. Yeah, Like, how's your dog

151
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.440
always got how do they have like
a hot wheels in its stomach? Yeah,

152
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.159
that's a really good question. My
um my younger grandson. I think

153
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.080
maybe it was an eminem or a
jelly bean or something like that put it

154
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.080
up his nose, had to go
to the doctor to get it out.

155
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.399
That's just so weird. I picked
my nose as a kid, but like

156
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:43.120
and as an adult, like,
you got a boogie, you get it

157
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.200
out. But I've never shoved anything
up there. Yeah, it doesn't feel

158
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.039
natural. You picked, You picked
your nose and you got that one.

159
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:56.080
Yeah. Yeah, I didn't choose. Uh, we should talk about the

160
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.840
fact that you should fill me in
Like we're doing a dog adoption of it

161
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:01.559
right here. Yeah, we're doing
to try to do a bunch of cool

162
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.399
ship. So a member of our
shout out to Kaylin in Avey's class.

163
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.960
I don't know why, Dan too, Dan, obviously Kalin probably even you

164
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.840
over me and my network in Zack. I know like people, but I

165
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.440
don't know people, and so like
Kaylin's another one like Dan who just knows

166
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.440
everybody. Yeah, and so I
don't know if I brought up the idea

167
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.919
to her or she brought because I
had the I probably brought up the idea

168
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:28.159
to you a long time ago,
but I had in my head. She's

169
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.519
like, oh, I think I
know someone on the board of our local

170
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.799
animal shelter as I did. Let's
rock. And then she didn't even let

171
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.320
me help. She like handled it
all. And so it's not set in

172
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.320
stone. We have a meeting Thursday, but we have second Saturday here.

173
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.240
So every second Saturday the month third
Street, we try to open our doors

174
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.879
to the community and have a free
training day from eight eight am to noon,

175
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.120
just allow people that either want to
visit don't live close. I've never

176
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.000
experienced a gym like this, maybe
can't afford it, whatever it might be,

177
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:01.000
come experienced the community and so it's
been going great. It's been growing

178
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.519
with the help of Team ABC,
Bass, etc. Started at you know,

179
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.320
maybe we had ten people show up
kind of for a day pass and

180
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.799
the energy is good now. I
think I counted the other day, we

181
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:11.879
were like forty people in here at
one second. So then I was always

182
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:18.159
thought and Second Saturday in Sacramento pre
COVID was probably over a decade ago,

183
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:24.200
started as an art show and local
businesses would allow artists and different companies to

184
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.600
do pop ups within their stores,
and people would just kind of store hoop

185
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.600
and look at these exhibits, and
that was called Second Saturday. It was

186
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:37.200
mostly art driven. I don't correct
me if I'm wrong, but I don't

187
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.559
think it's a thing anymore since the
pandemic. It's actually string. Yeah.

188
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.639
And then it transformed. It's less
artcy and now it's more just township,

189
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.200
community ship. Yeah, there's yeah, the galleries have openings, but that's

190
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.879
yeah, there's all sorts of other
stuff. Yeah. And then there was

191
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.480
our Street, which is like our
historic street is one of our kind of

192
00:11:54.519 --> 00:12:00.720
bar areas, restaurant entertainment. They
got a small concert hall. They started

193
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.440
to shut off the street and do
a huge fare over the summers and I

194
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.240
think that's on a second Saturday.
Anyways, I thought that would be cool,

195
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.039
and how do we build that into
our community, give back a little

196
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.320
bit, help, a little bit
whatever. So we're gonna have one of

197
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.639
our animal shelters bring out some dog
goes. They're gonna set up just you

198
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:18.720
know, I don't know, a
playpen or whatever the heck they do.

199
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:20.000
I don't know, on leashes on
a tent, I don't know, but

200
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.919
just a way to promote the local
dogs. We're having, you know,

201
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.240
hundreds of people come in on a
Saturday. The animal shelter can promote it.

202
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.519
And it's right down the street,
which makes sense. They even said

203
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:31.240
that they're like, oh, if
one of the dogs gets adopted, you

204
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.200
guys are so close, we just
go grab another dog to get adopted,

205
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.919
and so that should be May tenth. Yeah. Yeah, they're literally on

206
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:41.120
the other side of the freeway.
Yeah. Yeah, it's a little hard

207
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:45.000
to get to, but just because
the director out, but they're a rocks

208
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:46.879
throw from us, so we're gonna
do that. Then we're trying to just

209
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.440
set up a little bit more vendory
fun stuff with some vintage boys in June

210
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.600
obviously good company and a lot that
I do, and everything has to do

211
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.960
with um kind of calm ends,
building your clothing, feeling good about your

212
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:03.759
clothes. And I've worn vintage clothes
for a very long time. And there's

213
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:09.080
a huge vintage community everywhere now it's
popping off, but in Sacramento. So

214
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.519
I had some of those boys,
some local kids, and trying to see

215
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.399
if they want to do some pop
up to continue to hopefully help their business

216
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.240
in some ways and to spread good
cheer and good vibes. So yeah,

217
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.440
we'll see, we'll see where the
summer takes. It's now that the weather's

218
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.039
nice. That was kind of what
I was waiting on before I try to

219
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:31.600
implement some of this fun stuff.
Is that it's just been cold. Yeah

220
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:33.960
yeah, And so like, who
wants to stand out there all morning when

221
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.120
it's cold. Nobody? Yeah,
absolutely, nobody. Winding it back just

222
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:45.600
a little bit, there was an
article in Today's Washington Post. The headline

223
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:52.120
is Sacramento King's spark hope for cities
post COVID revival. I agree. I

224
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:54.879
mean we've seen it obviously firsthand from
ourselves, you know, opening the gym

225
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.720
and how difficult that's been. And
I don't think it was difficult. I

226
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.039
think it's more difficult one than I
thought, and then two, it's more

227
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.600
difficult even in hindsight. We're often
things seem better in hindsight. Yeah,

228
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.440
it's almost worse than hindsight when I
start to look back and how stupid it

229
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.639
was. But even seeing the gym
become alive, we have a lot more

230
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.639
college students, we have a lot
more gen pop. We have just a

231
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.879
lot more members, and the vibes
are really high. And then driving around

232
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.039
the city, you know, Jim
and I both live in the area,

233
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.440
the amount of apartments that are going
up, businesses that are trying to going

234
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.600
up, there's plans for new restaurants, there's plans for new grocery stores.

235
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.279
Which was the pace we were at
in twenty eight twenty nineteen. The city

236
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.960
was becoming a lot of ties to
Austin, Texas. A lot of growth

237
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.080
was happening. Overall, We're a
small city, you know, I think

238
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.279
by pure Sacramento it was like five
hundred thousand people were not a very big

239
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.159
city. Obviously it expands and we
have suburbs, but to see that,

240
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.159
there's just no way you can't really
like tie dot for dot business wise,

241
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.519
probably with the Kings being successful,
but like a sense of unity obviously helps

242
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:13.480
an excuse to go out downtown.
Every single bar on Saturday was packed to

243
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.879
the brim with people watching the game. Obviously, ticket prices are a little

244
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.600
spending now, so a lot of
people can't go. Plus it's limited,

245
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.159
it's eighteen thousand people or whatever.
But to see the local businesses, to

246
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.480
see you know, even little things
like Shack and Charles Barkley talking about the

247
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.399
Kings, it like feels kind of
weird, you know, I'm watching all

248
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.159
the highlights and and seeing things on
Twitter. It's just, uh, it's

249
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:41.440
different. But it's good for the
city for sure. Yeah. Bill Simmons

250
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:46.879
tweeted during Saturday's game, if um, it's right at the end of the

251
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:54.759
game, he said, if if
Steph Curry sinks a three, that wins

252
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.399
this game, this game is the
best game of the season. And even

253
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:03.120
if he doesn't, ye Like,
Yeah, it was intense and last night's

254
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:04.519
game was in some ways better.
Yeah, it was really intense last night,

255
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.879
a little bit more back and forth. We had a lot of bigger

256
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.000
runs last night. I think that
without looking at the stats, like the

257
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.879
entirety of the game Saturday was a
little bit closer. This one had some

258
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.519
like ten point runs and some comebacks, a little bit of drama with the

259
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.480
Draymond Green things. I don't know
if you guys are basketball fans or sportsman's

260
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:22.120
out there, but um, yeah, I don't know, and I haven't

261
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:25.960
watched basketball like that in a long
time. And I had like the two

262
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:26.840
K view. You know, I
don't know if you're playing two K,

263
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.679
but like it's like a perfect bird's
eye view. It's our upper decks tall,

264
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.240
but it's really steep on purpose,
so no one's ever obstructing your view.

265
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.440
Like I can see a perfect court, like unless you see forty Yeah,

266
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.600
that's only on the floor. I'm
not down there. Like the view,

267
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:47.200
the engineering of this arena is insane
actual and so like my view is

268
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:49.840
so good to like watch it.
I kind of watch basketball like I watch

269
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.039
powerlifting, like you don't really watch
as a fan. I watch as like

270
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:59.600
coach kind of. Yeah. I
mean that that upper level view lets you

271
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.519
see plays developing like you were looking
at a white board. No exactly.

272
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:06.519
Yeah, I like the perfect angle
and even like which I didn't notice for

273
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.799
the first time, not that I
haven't set up or deck, I for

274
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.519
sure have at some point, but
um, I could see the arc of

275
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:17.200
the ball. I could see the
bar the ball path like perfectly, Like

276
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:18.440
I could see a release his hand
and that it's gonna be a miss.

277
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.279
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah. I was only a couple of times

278
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:27.880
shocked that the baskets were made when
when shots were taken, which is just

279
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.960
so different from even being on accord
playing in a big arena like that.

280
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.079
I don't know if anyone played basketball, but the depth perception is so hard

281
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:38.240
when you play in high school and
majority of colleges unless you go to Kentucky

282
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:42.759
or something, but even that's rare. Um, there's there's a backdrop,

283
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:45.640
there's something behind the hoop, right, and so you take that out,

284
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.839
and it's so hard on the backboards
obviously see through. Even if it wasn't

285
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.640
see through, it was white.
Like your depth perception so hard. I

286
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.400
played at like Sex State a couple
of times, UM, which is bigger

287
00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.160
than a high school arena, but
not NBA, and yeah, your depth

288
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:03.000
perception gets fucked. That's why.
Um, in baseball they have a hitter's

289
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.519
backdrop, so like, yeah,
it makes sense, like beyond beyond the

290
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.880
picture, way on the actually on
the other side of the stadium. It's

291
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.599
just it's so solid. Yeah,
yeah, with your eyes a long yeah,

292
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.880
because otherwise you can't actually, you
know, the depth perception is just

293
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:18.400
not there. You can't figure out
what the hell the ball is. Yeah,

294
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:25.359
it's hard. Um, what was
I gonna say? Uh? These

295
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:30.279
games have been not without controversy where
I'm alluding a little bit to the the

296
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:37.079
e forty thing and we were just
hearing a firsthand account of it and from

297
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.200
someone here at the gym, and
there isn't any clarity at all. It's

298
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.039
actually what the hell happened? And
you never know, right besides the person

299
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:51.000
chirping out him and whoever he's chirping
back out. It is kind of funny

300
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.599
to me, like now there's like
this NorCal thing going on. But it's

301
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:57.359
never been a rivalry, not really
no, Yeah, because like when we

302
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:00.720
were good, they were trash,
like in the nineties, were both kind

303
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:04.119
of trash, like you know what
I mean. The rivalry means you're going

304
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:07.200
head to head all the time.
And they've been good for for the last

305
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:14.000
few years. Yeah. And and
the Kings suck. Yeah, they drafted

306
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.119
Steph Curry gave him two years and
then he started a run, so he's

307
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:19.440
probably been good. Yeah, the
Warriors been solid eight eight years. The

308
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:25.599
King's obviously been pretty bad for fifteen
years and not good for seventeen plus.

309
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:29.480
So you know, yeah, what's
the rivalry? Yeah there is one,

310
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.200
and everyone here is like A's fans
and Giants fans and Niners fans like that's

311
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.200
you know, that's what I like
about Norkel, Like Norkel is the one

312
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:40.279
thing. Yeah, you know,
it's kind of one unit. I will

313
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:45.440
say though, that Steve Kerr is
he said that if if the Kings beat

314
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.240
them this around, they're not going
to be like norcl cheering for the Kings.

315
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.200
It's like, damn, yeah,
that's my stop. Yeah, come

316
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:55.839
on, Stevie, who does he
want to cheer for? Is he?

317
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:57.240
Is he a? No, he's
an Arizona guy. He's an Arizona guy.

318
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:02.799
Yeah. I was gonna say he
gives h East Bay vibe. I

319
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.720
think that he and Tom Tolbert both
played with Kenny Lofton. Oh maybe at

320
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:12.319
Arizona. That's funny. Yeah,
I was just Kenny Lofton fan because Cleveland

321
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.000
Yeah, um, yeah, I
don't know. And Mike Brown and Steve

322
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.559
car obviously really close, I think, but anyone who knows what he's saying,

323
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.440
he could have just said that in
jest, and even not like who

324
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:23.680
you're gonna share for anyways, he
just yeah, it's all just Lakers.

325
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.279
Yeah, it's all trash. Yeah, I think the Lakers are up though.

326
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.039
I think the Lakers are up to
Yeah, this is the first year

327
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.200
in a while I feel like the
West at least it's into CUPO. I

328
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.880
know this Eternal Basketball podcast or right
everyone, Um, this is what's going

329
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.200
on with us right now? Yeah, yeah, this is what we're gonna

330
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.880
talk about. Yeah, Milwaukee,
uh into CUPO and injured and besides Milwaukee,

331
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:48.559
the West is like a coin flip, kind of feels like March madness,

332
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.640
like anybody could win. Yeah,
and I said that. I said

333
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.279
that two months ago. I said, man, that's great that the Kings

334
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:56.720
are in third, but we're gonna
have to play the Lakers, or we're

335
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.039
gonna have to play the Warriors.
And no one wants to play Lebron or

336
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.880
Curry. I don't care if the
teams are in shambles, you never want

337
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:06.400
to play one of those guys.
And so yeah, that's where we are

338
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:07.920
now and the same thing. Yeah, the Lakers could have a little upset.

339
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.359
I think they're the seventh or eighth
seed, and who knows, who

340
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.359
knows what happens at least a little
bit more drawn out, like Philly's really

341
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:17.960
good, Boston's gonna be good.
He'll probably be them too in the Eastern

342
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:19.839
Conference, but who knows, but
the West. That's kind of what makes

343
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:22.880
the playoffs fun. The football was
a good season like that, you never

344
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.440
really knew what was happening. Warriors
had trouble scoring last night when Curry wasn't

345
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:29.519
on the court. Yeah, they
kind of do. I think Pool is

346
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.480
a little overrated, and honestly,
the Kings are a really tough matchup for

347
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:37.880
anyone because we have two or three
guys that can cover a lot of positions

348
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.599
and are really good defenders. We're
just long and athletic. Like as a

349
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:48.359
player myself obviously not in the NBA, but like the playing against Malik,

350
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:55.079
Daron Fox and Davis Mitchell would be
just like a nightmare because they're just up

351
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:59.759
in your grill. They're they're energizer
bunnies. They're long, they're really athletic,

352
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.039
and all three of them are they're
just guarding you all day like that.

353
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:06.319
Curry was tired. Yeah, you've
never seen Curry tired before, and

354
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.680
Pools looks like nothing. Last season, they thought he was gonna be the

355
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.400
next steph Curry. This season,
he looks like a fucking bench warmer.

356
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:14.799
Yeah. Um yeah, we were
up in their grills. The Kings are

357
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.599
tough, man, The Kings are
a tough matchup, and we shot terribly.

358
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.079
If you look at the box of
my god, yeah, if you

359
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:26.559
look at the box score. M
besides maybe turnovers, the Warriors won last

360
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.720
night. Yeah, yeah, they
shot better, they scored better, they

361
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.440
rebounded better. Um, kind of
the untangibles what we had. We played

362
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:38.160
a lot of tough the we warm
out fouls a little bit. But then

363
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.240
even that, everyone's bitching about like
the calls, and there was too many

364
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.000
calls in my opinion, like the
rest early in the game. Yeah,

365
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:47.200
the rest needed chill, But it
was on both sides. I think,

366
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:51.839
I think, uh second half fouls
like twenty six Warriors twenty five Kings.

367
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.680
So if you're looking purely analytics,
um, it's not like it was that

368
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:57.319
biased or anything, but the rest
were just kind of ruining the game.

369
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.079
They were ruining the flow. For
sure. I do feel like and I

370
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.319
don't know if this is something that
happens. I was speaking out of my

371
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:11.279
ass here, but I feel like
the financial condition of every referee for every

372
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:18.119
major sport should be examined before they're
allowed to officiate in playoff games in terms

373
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.279
of gambling. Yeah, yeah,
just like what the what does their finances

374
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:26.720
look like like? Are they having
big influxes or outflows of cash? Yeah?

375
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.440
I haven't heard yet. Yeah,
for sure, and especially after that

376
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.039
documentary came out. I didn't finish
it. Um, I haven't seen it

377
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:34.119
yet. We have to watch it. Yeah, maybe we do a podcast

378
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.559
on it. Have you seen air? No, it's just in the theaters,

379
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.200
but it's coming to Amazon. Yeah, I think I definitely want to.

380
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.279
I've heard that. I've heard mixed
reviews. I think. Um,

381
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:47.680
a couple of members told me it
was really good, and they all know

382
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:51.200
I'm into sneakers. But then I
read a bunch of like sneaker blogs on

383
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:53.319
it and they said it was good, but they were they wished it was

384
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.680
a little more sneaker driven, where
it turned into like a business drama,

385
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.440
which is cool because that's what it
was also, I'm sure I'll enjoy it

386
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:03.240
either way. But yeah, for
those that don't know, it's like the

387
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:07.240
I think it's the Nike Jordan recruiting
story. Yeah. Um, there's a

388
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:11.119
lot of cool stories like that,
Like Alan Iverson has one too, I

389
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:14.519
think. Um. They played a
little bit of it, which I liked

390
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:17.680
in the Serena Williams movie. Yeah, they were talking about the back end,

391
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.240
like signage and what it looks like
and what the money looks like.

392
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:26.400
There was a little bit of it
in um Showtime, Game Time. Oh

393
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.880
yeah, whatever the hell it's called
yeah, the Lakers fictional series. Yeah,

394
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:34.920
yeah, Magic Converse. Um.
Yeah, because it's it is,

395
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.599
it's it's like such and that's what
I like even about lifting. But that's

396
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:42.119
what I like about basketball, is
like the culture is deeper than just like

397
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:47.079
twos and threes. Yeah, the
culture is about sneakers, it's about business,

398
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:52.440
it's about music, it's about cities. So I saw a fantastic example

399
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.359
of that um in London. It's
actually it was also in New York at

400
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.680
some point it was called Beyond the
Streets and it was a um uh,

401
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.799
they basically took over this entire gallery. There was like thirteen thirteen rooms in

402
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:12.599
this in this gallery in London.
It was um the Origin and um Evolution

403
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:18.440
of Graffiti Art. Oh. Um, I might have seen that in la

404
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:21.559
You may have. Yeah, I
just watched a documentary on it too.

405
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:25.200
Um. I this is the first
time I've ever been to an art exhibit

406
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:27.000
that I bought the book. It's
not here yet, but you liked it?

407
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:30.759
Oh fuck? It was so good, dude, I wonder if it.

408
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:34.400
Yeah. It was right next to
Barbara Brigade. Oh really, right

409
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:38.200
next to and we went this is
seven years ago, six years ago,

410
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:44.400
Okay. And then the documentary I
just watched, Uh, was about be

411
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.200
Real and Cypress Hill, but it
was about there, Like first DJ,

412
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.440
this what I text you and Eddie
to watch. Uh. Do you watch

413
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.720
it? Yeah? And it actually
it's about music, and it's about culture

414
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.680
and it's about graffiti. But what
it's really about is their DJ like passion

415
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.799
for photography. Oh wow. Yeah. And he had an exhibit here.

416
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:08.039
Uh. And obviously a bunch of
like streetwear guys that I follow and ship.

417
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.599
But I'm pretty sure that's what I
saw. I might be wrong,

418
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.319
but it has obey. It had
a bunch of things. Yeah. Um,

419
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.079
there have been actually, I think
a couple of different versions of this.

420
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:23.640
There's one that was in LA that's
all Beastie Boys. Um. I

421
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:29.720
was a random, huge fan of
and and part of this one UM featured

422
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:34.720
beast Boys stuff. But it was
like how how graffiti culture started and how

423
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:38.720
it was initially tied into the punk
music. Yeah, I think that then

424
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:44.680
it evolved into being tied into into
hip hop and then fashion. Yeah,

425
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.559
and it was crazy. I might
be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this

426
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:49.960
is what I saw or or like
the beginnings of it, like eight years

427
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:53.519
ago, because now it looks like
it's a big old deal all over run

428
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:59.519
DMCA costumes because they were sponsored by
Adidas for years, yeah, which is

429
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:02.359
crazy. Yeah. They might have
been the first rap group to have stuff

430
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:03.880
like that. Yeah, now it's
not uncommon. This is kind of the

431
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:10.599
first viral um uh graffiti ever.
C that is God like clearly all the

432
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.039
stuff that that led to, like
banks and some of these huge Ye.

433
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:18.480
I saw a couple of Banksi's because
we went to Bristol, which is where

434
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:23.880
Banksy came from. Yeah. Yeah, the UK obviously not known for like

435
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.720
hip hop in the street culture because
like a lot of it obviously was.

436
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:32.480
It was created in New York and
then Los Angeles and spread to different cities

437
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:36.599
atlant et cetera. But um,
I think they've done a cool job of

438
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:41.400
making it their own over over time. Clothing. Some more of the run

439
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.400
DMC stuff actually sneakers signed, and
it's kind of like the same sneakers I

440
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:51.359
have on d Yeah for sure,
Yeah they Yeah, I love this stuff.

441
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:53.720
Yeah, I know. It was
great. I was like, of

442
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:57.359
all the things that I did in
the whole month that we were in Europe,

443
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.799
that was the thing I wish you
guys were there for, yeah,

444
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:06.839
because you would have that. And
we and one day, um, early

445
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:11.519
in the trip, we went to
Portobell Market on a Saturday, which is

446
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.839
a neighborhood but it's also like a
giant street market. It just like that

447
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:19.920
closed the street down and it's the
booths all the way down and then there's

448
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:22.920
like Finch's clothing stores and high end
restaurants and all that kind of shit.

449
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:29.440
And I would say seventy five percent
of the people that I saw, of

450
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:33.440
all ages, were fucking dressed to
the nines. Yeah, And I don't

451
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.960
mean that they were like wearing fancy
shit. Probably that they were wearing like

452
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.920
full on, like head to toe
planned out outfits. Yeah, it was

453
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.880
like curated and thought exactly exactly.
I was blown away by that we were

454
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:52.359
walking around like our jaws on the
ground Jesus Christ, like like the creativity

455
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:59.119
around putting that together and having to
just be so you know, perfect.

456
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:02.240
I think a lot of people that
aren't into clothes or like, like I

457
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:04.519
said, it's so tied to basketball
for me and hip hop that I just

458
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:07.559
grew up loving basketball and then you
turn to hip hop and then you turn

459
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:11.240
to sneakers and you turn to clothes. Like it just there's no way about

460
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:15.319
it. But a lot of people
that don't look at that or like go

461
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.960
to that, or grew up in
that, or don't like it. I

462
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:25.240
think sometimes misinterpreted that it's like gate
keepee. But to me, and I'm

463
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:29.119
no voice in the fashion industry by
any means, but to me, it's

464
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:34.640
literally just about like building your own
confidence and then like having fun. Like

465
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:40.000
you don't you don't have to like
follow rules, you don't have to wear

466
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:44.480
a certain company, you don't have
to wear a certain style. It's just

467
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:47.839
about like, all right, what
pieces do you think are cool? Like

468
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:49.160
it could. It could be as
easy as that. All art can be

469
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:53.559
as cool as that music anything.
It doesn't have to have this deep meaning,

470
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.200
this deep story. It could just
be like, yeah, man,

471
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:00.680
I think that's cool, right,
Yeah, just I think that looks cool.

472
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:03.359
Okay, Then fucking wear it if
it makes you feel good. This

473
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:07.640
is how I wanted to represent myself. Yeah yeah, I saw I saw

474
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.599
whoever this guy wear that? And
I thought it was cool. And I

475
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:12.319
found this hat and reminded me of
that, so I wore it. Yeah,

476
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:15.160
fucking do it if it makes you
feel good. But that's all it

477
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.559
really is to me, And I
think that's where it ties into sports,

478
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:25.079
is like confidence. You know,
baseball, golf, basketball, it doesn't

479
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:26.920
really matter, but you gotta like
really believe, you gotta like hype your

480
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:30.000
own shit up. We talked about
a little bit how egotistical that one golfer

481
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.880
was in the golf documentary, but
like you kind of need that, Like

482
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:36.440
if you think you're gonna be the
best and you think every SHOT's gonna go

483
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:40.240
in, like you kind of have
to do everything in your life like it

484
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:44.240
will. You can't just like you
can't walk around all sad with your head

485
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:48.000
down, all scrungy and then expect
to step on a basketball court and think

486
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:51.240
you're a god, right, Like
you got to kind of walk the walk

487
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:53.119
and really live that. And I
think that's where the clothes kind of come

488
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:56.359
in because it is obviously things we
wear all day every day. So as

489
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:59.720
soon as you wake up, you
got the music going, you put on

490
00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:03.240
your sneakers, you choose your fit
to look good to go to the arena.

491
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:06.640
I read a big article. I
forget what the blog is. Maybe

492
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:08.880
it's both I don't really know a
Stanza and it's not both of these nuts,

493
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:14.039
but it's both of something. It's
like bof and it's about how the

494
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:18.279
tunnel walk in basketball over the last
four years into yeah yeah, and like

495
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.440
it was kind of always a thing, like I always put out my outfit

496
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.119
going to the games, and you
pack your bag and you get ready.

497
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:29.599
But like the NBA, maybe it's
just because of a newer generation or like

498
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:33.279
their ties to fashion or their ties
to who knows what, but yeah,

499
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:37.119
it's it's like a yeah, it's
a red carpet walk every time you get

500
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:38.240
down the tunnel, which is I
think it is a cool thing. And

501
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.839
then the NFL obviously does it a
good amount. I'm sure baseball does it

502
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:44.519
a good amount. Of Baseball it
started doing it more this year than I've

503
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:45.799
ever seen before, because I mean, all those guys watch each other,

504
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:49.039
and a lot of these guys grew
up, even though they're so specialized,

505
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:52.119
a lot of the guys grew up
playing all three sports. Yeah, yeah,

506
00:31:52.160 --> 00:32:00.559
a lot of them did. I
think that this is something we've talked

507
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:07.839
about in terms of powerlifting gear or
just you know, not not not like

508
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:12.960
equipment, but like you know,
your shoes or your shorts or your belt

509
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:21.279
or whatever whatever that Um it's like
putting on a costume when you're playing a

510
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:23.839
role. Yeah yeah, yeah,
if you don't think you can pull seven

511
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:28.200
hundred, but then you build some
confidence by your outfit, your sneakers,

512
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.160
your belt, Yeah, you're more
likely going to pull seven hundred, there's

513
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:34.640
just no doubt. Yeah, it's
a little bit of a placebo effect.

514
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:38.359
But like it what the things that
build your confidence that don't hurt anybody else

515
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:45.160
or like gravy? Right? Yeah, I wonder what the origin for lack

516
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.000
of a better term of like wearing
suits and business meetings are, like if

517
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:52.079
it's related to that oh, I
think it probably is right, like to

518
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.039
show your wealth, yeah, or
something like if you go way back to

519
00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:59.839
whatever the fuck it's fourteen hundred or
something. Yeah, it's like to show

520
00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:01.960
that your success well even now,
right, Like realtors and people will drive

521
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:06.359
a fucking Lexus because they're like,
hey, I know what I'm doing right,

522
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:08.440
Like this is proof that what I
do works and what I'm about to

523
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:13.240
sell you or tell you works I
remember talking to my dad because he did

524
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:16.799
outside sales for a bunch of companies, but and that he would get like

525
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:20.880
car stipends, right because you'd have
to go drive to a reno and sell

526
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:24.599
whatever. And my dad was like
he read a lot of books like that,

527
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:28.799
although he wasn't a big reader,
he would read like leadership and selling

528
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:30.799
books and stuff. And I was
with him shopping for his last car,

529
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:35.279
which I drove for a long time
afterwards. But I remember him talking about

530
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:37.880
that a little bit. And I
don't know if he's right or wrong,

531
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:38.720
but he was like, yeah,
I don't really want to come in with

532
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:43.000
like a Benz because then it's like
I'm, you know, going too hard.

533
00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:45.799
He's like, I just want something
like clean and normal but nice you

534
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:49.160
know, and so he shows like
a upgraded like Subaru or something and reliable.

535
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:53.680
Obviously he wanted something normal. But
the psychology of all that definitely plays

536
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:57.400
a role. And I think everything
we do, and that's again why I

537
00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:59.799
like clothes, right, Like,
yeah, you wear a suit, you

538
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:01.920
nice, you feel nice, You're
going to go in with confidence and maybe

539
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:06.319
a smile on when you go to
your big lawyer's meeting or whatever. But

540
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:09.599
it's a little bit like armor,
Yeah for sure. Yeah. Like I

541
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:12.880
think, like you said, like
playing of characters is really good. I

542
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.800
think it was Kate Spade quote and
I whip this out and people like,

543
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:17.119
how the fuck do you know that? I'm like, I don't know,

544
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:20.480
I just reach it, Like,
why do you know a Kate Spade quote?

545
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:24.440
I think it's Kate Spade. She
said something like, um, don't

546
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:27.679
quote me on this quote because I'm
gonna butcher the fun out of it.

547
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:30.880
But it's basically like we play dress
up when we're age eight, and I

548
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:34.840
believe that we should never stop or
something like that. Yeah. Yeah,

549
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.280
like why wouldn't you want to dress
or pretend the role that you want to

550
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:39.800
be? Yeah? Another one that
thinks and I know you don't like it

551
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:43.440
that much, But pursuit of happiness
I think I think about that, Like

552
00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.880
he's always run around in a suit, and obviously, poor guys, is

553
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:49.320
the only clothes you had at the
time. But he's like trying to like

554
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:51.400
like fake it so you make it
type role. Yeah, you know,

555
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:55.000
he's in these huge Wall Street esque
meetings in San Francisco trying to become the

556
00:34:55.039 --> 00:35:00.239
guy meanwhile sleeping in a subway,
but he's putting on the suit. I

557
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:01.639
think there's a scene where the guy
asked him to grab a coffee or pay

558
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:05.719
for his taxi and it's his last
five dollars and he just does it just

559
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:08.960
to believe in it. Like it's
a little like manifest worldly. But I

560
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:13.760
do kind of believe in all that
because I think it Whether you want to

561
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:16.199
believe it actual, that's fine with
me if you're all spiritual and whatever.

562
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:21.320
But I think if you love to
like kind of bleed down to reality,

563
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:27.039
there's applicable things that work there too, Like the pure confidence, just confidence

564
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:30.199
is going to take you further than
not. Yeah, because so much of

565
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:35.280
like a first impression is about about
confidence. It's like striking the right tone

566
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:39.840
with people and yeah, so all
these folks that I'm seeing and these totally

567
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:45.159
fitted out like you, and you
wonder like, is that do they dress

568
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.400
like that every day or do they
have one outfit like that that they want

569
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:50.719
to be seen in. Yeah,
yeah, you don't know. And then

570
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:53.480
and then what I wonder is why
why they are not here? Or like

571
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:58.840
why why did that city it's Paris
was the same kind of thing too.

572
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:01.360
While that it was it was not
all concentrated in one place, but it

573
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:07.199
was h I mean all ages again, all ages, Like it's probably more

574
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:10.239
likely in New York, in LA
Yeah, maybe even San Francisco than Arkansas.

575
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:15.239
But I wonder why even that is, Like it is it superficial because

576
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.400
there's probably there may be a fact
of that too where you're literally just because

577
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:22.199
then there's people that buy product belts
and Gucci bags that that can't afford it

578
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:27.639
and they're just trying to like fake
that role rather than I do think.

579
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:32.360
Yeah, like building your confidence through
expressing yourself or being comfortable, it's probably

580
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:36.079
a fine line there. Yeah,
it's not necessarily the cost of what you

581
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:42.039
wear, and it's something I don't
know. I've been deep into succession this

582
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:47.840
season is it's nuts, and they
talk about how because the characters are super

583
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:52.039
super rich, but they're wearing very
plain looking stuff a lot of the time.

584
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:57.320
But it's incredibly expensive, plain looking
stuff. Oh yeah, yeah,

585
00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:00.599
I know I've known guys like that, but I've also known guys one of

586
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:04.559
the richest people I've ever met in
my life. Yeah, I drove an

587
00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:08.440
eighty five Volvo and wore a flannel
shirt that probably it wasn't one of those.

588
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:12.599
It probably did cost fifteen dollars from
Costco. Yeah it was. It

589
00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:15.480
was a Penduleton and not a not
a you know, yeah hidden Gucci or

590
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:21.000
yeah whatever. Yeah, it is
funny how old that works. Yeah,

591
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:24.440
So to bring it back around a
little bit to a fitness thing, but

592
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:30.199
it is about appearances. I saw
this on Jordan Feigenbaum's Instagram today. The

593
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:38.480
question is whether you would rather look
jacked and not be that strong, Oh

594
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:43.960
yeah, or be strong and not
look that jacked. I mean that's the

595
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:47.280
old school bodybuilder versus powerlifter, right, Like the new school powerlifter is jacked

596
00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:51.159
because raw just makes you that way, and people are so precise. Y're

597
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:52.880
trying to get in a weight class, so you look like a russ orhe

598
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:58.079
and all these guys of Bob Matthews
there they look the part also, and

599
00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:02.800
so that argument's kind of nil and
void now. And I guess to back

600
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:07.000
on my body bodybuilder friends, A
lot of them are strong, just don't

601
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:12.119
display it. Yeah, right,
Like I'm sure Phil heath Bench is well

602
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.039
over four hundred pounds when he wants
to dig in. Bradley Martin is a

603
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:17.840
good example that dude can throw around
weights. They are. It's a freak

604
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:21.480
though, Yeah, yeah he is. And it's all close more closely related

605
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:24.800
than we thought. Larry Wheels,
although talk about controversy or boy Larry,

606
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:30.079
Okay, Larry dive in because I
don't know. There's clips going around.

607
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:32.519
I don't like to talk about it
too much just based on clips. I

608
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:35.960
normally like to do research and I
haven't yet. I haven't had time because

609
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:38.480
I think it came out yesterday.
But he did a podcast with Bradley last

610
00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:46.079
week, and he's very open about
his recreational drug use, and I think

611
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:51.400
just talking about how crazy, and
I think I get where he was going,

612
00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:53.159
but it is weird. And I've
talked about this with Barred a lot

613
00:38:53.199 --> 00:39:00.840
on YouTube. How um and maybe
I'm too traditional or old school with it,

614
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:04.280
but I think you know, the
spider Man ship, when you when

615
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:07.559
you get great power, you get
responsibility. And so when you get a

616
00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:12.159
big following, you have a responsibility
to at least try to set some standards

617
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:15.960
and at least think about what you're
saying to who. Right, we don't

618
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:19.199
know who's listening to this. It
could be a four year old, you

619
00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:21.199
know, we don't know. It
could be an eighty year old, it

620
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:24.559
could be someone whatever. We won't
apologize for the swearing because we carry an

621
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:27.639
E for that, but beyond that, yeah, and even beyond that,

622
00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:30.760
Yeah, it gets so much worse
than swearing, right, Like they're talking

623
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:35.199
about yeah, like irresponsible drug use
or irresponsible Yeah, are you promoting drugs?

624
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:37.800
Are you talking about drugs? Are
you educating? And basically he says

625
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:45.960
that trend it's worse than I don't
know if he does say ketamine for sure,

626
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:47.159
but he claims other drugs, And
I'm like, well, like,

627
00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:51.559
now what are we saying? So
now are you like promoting ketamine? Like

628
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:54.960
what's going on here? That's a
good question and just how casual people talk

629
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:57.880
about it, and I know it
probably is casual for them, right,

630
00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:00.840
because they all do steroids or everyone
around the parties on whatever drugs, and

631
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:05.880
so the more you're exposed to something
more casual, it becomes I understand that.

632
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:09.440
Um, but if you're talking to
millions and millions of people, impressionable

633
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:15.760
young people, maybe we should watch
our What is that show that's primarily like

634
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:20.719
retired bodybuilders talking about shit that they've
done. That's a podcast or a real

635
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:22.320
show podcast, I don't know,
but it's a podcast, but it's also

636
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:25.000
like a video thing. I don't
know. It sounds funny though, Um,

637
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:31.599
podcast and video are the blinds are
blurred right now? YouTube, just

638
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:42.119
while I was gone, implemented um
a category for podcasts, so we're like,

639
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:47.119
we're we're currently in it are our
feed is identified as a podcast feed.

640
00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:53.000
Theoretically you could get featured at some
point or whatever on there. There's

641
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:58.920
a podcast page just like YouTube dot
com slash podcasts. Most of the ones

642
00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:01.599
that are in there are not podcast
interesting from my perspective. Yeah, it

643
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:06.280
just shows. Yeah, yeah,
I guess that line is very great now,

644
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:08.320
right, yeah, because like the
barber of a Gate show, I

645
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:13.000
do, they just call it a
show, but basically a ten minute podcast.

646
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:16.559
Yeah, right, but yeah,
what's the line? Doesn't matter?

647
00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:20.280
Does it not matter? I don't
know the bodybuilding one that you're talking about,

648
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:23.360
but everyone I thought five years ago
everyone out of podcast, Yeah,

649
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:28.559
and then everyone not didn't and then
now yeah, everybody's got one. Yeah,

650
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:30.800
because there, I mean, there
is success to it. But then

651
00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:32.320
yeah, not to open this thing
up to a whole another conversation. But

652
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:36.840
we've talked about it two or attention
spans or like ten seconds or like two

653
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:39.360
hours, which is weird because Verence
is like all TikTok. Yeah, that's

654
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:44.320
ruining our attention span. But podcast
viewership I guarantee as high as it's ever

655
00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:47.159
been. Yeah, And I mean
I think that we would probably this is

656
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:52.079
crazy, but but probably true.
Like we used to do a longer show.

657
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:53.440
If we did a longer show,
we might be better off. I

658
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:57.760
maybe. Yeah. I don't know
either. I just don't have the desire

659
00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:00.480
to do a longer show. Yeah, at this not forge of the game,

660
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:04.159
Yeah, not forced for sure.
Yeah, I mean we could come

661
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:07.039
up with a lot of category shit
to cover every time, and we could

662
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:10.039
do you know, we can make
it last longer or live streams. Yeah,

663
00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:13.920
and streamers go eight hours a day. Yeah, and I don't.

664
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:16.000
I have no criticism for any of
those people. That's if, you know,

665
00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:19.480
if they could do it and they're
comfortable with it and they're putting out

666
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:22.360
good content and people are enjoying it, that's great. It's just not for

667
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.119
me at this point. It's a
lot not for me at this point.

668
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:31.360
But yeah, I mean, I'm
going back to the question about what you

669
00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:36.360
look like. I mean I never
felt like I looked like I was particularly

670
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:39.280
strong, and I wasn't terribly terribly
strong, but I but compared to the

671
00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:43.719
like the average person probably yeah,
way stronger. That's the whole thing too.

672
00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:46.440
Yeah, if you compared to the
average, I think top one percent,

673
00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:52.079
like two twenty five bench press yea
world, Yeah, which is crazy.

674
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:55.800
I saw a lot of like very
in shape people while I was gone

675
00:42:55.800 --> 00:43:00.639
to I was you see fear of
fat people in Europe for whatever reason.

676
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:04.760
I just overweight. I don't know
what I'm supposed to say, but like

677
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:07.840
fat's fine, fat, Yeah,
that's fine. Yeah, And I don't

678
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:13.440
even I don't know why except maybe
just so much more walking. I think

679
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:16.079
walking for sure for sure. Like
the portion thing I've heard that like they

680
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:21.039
come over here and they'll see like
our portions at a restaurant, they're like

681
00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:24.480
goldly cow here. Yeah, but
I so much as walking. Um,

682
00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:28.519
there's no city you walk here besides
what maybe even San Francisco. They don't

683
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:31.199
walk that much. Like it's New
York and it's Manhattan. Yeah, it's

684
00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:34.840
Manhattan. It's not even all over
the boroughs. And then that's it.

685
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:37.000
Like I imagine Chicago. You're driving
Boston, I've been to. Most people

686
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:40.840
are driving. I am downtown Sack. But then our weather has been crazy.

687
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:44.800
Yeah. I lost about seven pounds
while we were gone. You said

688
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:49.800
twenty thousand stead of average twenty thousand
steps a day. That was a lot.

689
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:51.960
Yeah, I mean, and it
is that easy when people want to

690
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:53.880
talk about losing weight. You get
up your steps, man, you get

691
00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:57.800
a long ways. Yeah, no, it really, it really makes the

692
00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:00.320
difference. It's it's it's not as
important is what you eat, but it's

693
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:04.079
almost as important. That's what you
eat. Yeah. Yeah, you can't

694
00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:07.679
one for one counteract shit. But
I know my cutting and I've been waiting

695
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:09.519
for it because Bart keeps Bart's gonna
try to do a bodybuilding show. I

696
00:44:09.559 --> 00:44:13.480
don't know if that's a spoiler.
Sorry, Bart, He's gonna try to

697
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:15.800
do a body million show, I
think, and so he I'm handling him

698
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:19.880
at his meat this weekend, and
then I think he's cutting crazy and I

699
00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:21.719
was like, we're I'll cut with
you, like just to show support.

700
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:23.039
I was like, but I need
some sun because the only way I do

701
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:25.519
it is when I walk him bike
ride right, Like I've lost some weight,

702
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:30.199
I'm down, I'm down ten pounds
since December, but like to really

703
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:32.800
cut, I need sun to make
me want to go outside. Like even

704
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:36.320
this morning, I was debating it. But it's fifty degrees still. I

705
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:37.960
looked at the thing. I was
like, I don't know if I'm gonna

706
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:39.840
ride my bike in fifty degrees,
like my hands get cold. Then I'm

707
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:43.119
in here cold. Ye, Like
it's just too much. But if we

708
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:45.719
get into some sixty seventies, which
I think are on the way again,

709
00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:49.800
yeah, it makes it so much
easier to walk bike just yeah, be

710
00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:52.119
outside. I was gonna, I
was actually gonna go out this morning,

711
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:58.719
but I didn't. I got involved
in looking at different things and and just

712
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:01.000
didn't go. But but you know, it's not gonna get so hot today

713
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:02.719
that I want to do it later
in the day. No, yeah,

714
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:06.199
it'd be nice. Yeah, and
yeah, I'll just do cardio inside rather

715
00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:07.800
than outside. But it is much
easier outside. You get a little sun

716
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:12.719
and breathe. Yeah. Well that's
all I got about all I got for
