He ended up showing up for an open run and I got this witness firsthand what a NBA player looks like pretty much in front of my eyes.

It was the most impressive thing I've ever seen with my own eyes.

It was awesome.

The most serious one they did on me, they sent me out to get some chicken after a basketball game, knowing that we only had 30 minutes to catch a late night flight.

You know, he got lost.

We sent him out for some chicken.

To bring on the plane, we had chartered a flight and he didn't get there.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

We waited for about an hour and a half and he still didn't get there.

They tease me still today about it.
