I was actually going to ask how, if you view yourself as a sports podcast.
For someone who didn't want to come in the booth.
Or is it just so we don't ask him questions?
Oh Gott, ja.
Icon. Living. Yeah, I don't have one. Entrepreneur. Wow, okay. Is that a good one? Yeah. Global citizen. Yeah, it doesn't really fit, but to actually answer your question before you get to your point, I still start with either retired or former athlete. Or depending on the room, retired WNBA player.
Not really.
No, I don't think so. Okay. I haven't given it much, I haven't given it deep thought, but no.
On some level for you to enjoy now? Yeah, it is. I think there's a thousand positive things to say about it. Really everything we're already talking about. The businesses that are going to grow, the sport itself, all the things. The only negative for me personally is like, it would have been much easier to capitalize on all this as a player. I can tell you that.
It is what it is. It's not, what are you going to do? You can't change it. It's like classic. You just have to move on, let go. But I do have moments where even though the podcast doesn't feel like a grind, it's still not playing basketball. It's still not going to play the game. Even though having companies or doing speaking engagements or commercials don't feel like grinds.
Every now and then they do. It's still not playing basketball. So yeah, it would have been wonderful to be able to capitalize on all this as a player. Just because that's what I was born to do. That's why I don't think I want to let go of it.
I don't even know what the reason would be. It is totally not comparable. And there was a boom. I know it's not. I'm trying to make it. And there was a boom. And now whatever you made on your last film, people are on a regular, on average, are making ten times that. You wouldn't be like, oh dang, I was born in the wrong year. That's all I'm saying. That's fair.
It's not, but it's like you can't go back. There had to have been all of us before in order to get to this point. So there's something, you know, the Billie Jean King of it all. So there's that. But yeah, would I love to play basketball and get compensated?
Okay.
Oh, I'm not complaining. It just would have been a lot easier. Because the hard's not as hard when you're doing the thing you were meant to be doing. That is true. Even when it's hard.
Yes, please.
Walked right into that one.
To add to that, is it just when the subject is involved? Is that like the hard line?
Right, but is that the only one?
You came in hot.
No, that would never be me regardless. Maybe in a playoff game. I also am just like so... I'm just so immune to the regular season.
