So, yeah, I thought the sound that you guys had was the sound that really went viral. You didn't. You had a different sound, which was good and informative. Yeah, great, but not what we talked about.

That was a great video. It was a great video. It was informative. It wasn't the point I was trying to make, because the one I was trying to make when he said, LeBron came here, and I said, but it's not LeBron's way, it's Pat Riley's way. It's not Dwayne Wade's way, it's Pat Riley's way. It's their organization. You're just going to have to accept that at some point.

They're going to do it how they want to do it. And so for Jimmy Butler... Who I see a lot of people. I do have a question. I see everyone has been repeating this. They let Jimmy Butler do way more than they let LeBron and Wade and Zoe and Shaq do. I've heard that repeat that exact same way, same phrasing, multiple places, multiple people. But everyone dances around it.

What exactly did they let him do that they didn't let the other guys?

But Dan, there's a couple of things, right? Number one. By the way, Udonis was two years ago. That wasn't last year. But number one is the part about this. Chris Haynes talked to you guys the other day, and I was shocked that not only no one on this show, but nobody outside of this show reacted to this thing.

The part where they said Jimmy Butler and Pat Riley have not spoken, have not texted, have not met face-to-face, had not, excuse me, from at least the end of the season, which was in April, to the January 2nd meeting where they were like, you're not giving us enough. That is staggering. I remember speaking to Ramona Shelburne. Years ago, I was on the jump.

Ramona Shelburne broke a story at the top of the show that Magic Johnson, president of the Lakers, had not spoken to Luke Walton, head coach of the Lakers, for two weeks. And I was like, what? How is that possible? And I said, man, Luke, better get your resume ready. When that happens, this is a massive fracture. That was two weeks.

Now Chris Haynes is telling me six months these guys haven't communicated?

That's not what happened. What happened is you guys thought, or the organization thought, yeah, the reason he broke up with all those other people is the stuff that we love. Right? We love that he's demanding. We love that he goes out there and gives it his all. We love those things about him.

It must not have been a challenge. That he's not afraid of confrontation, which, Dan, in today's league, more than ever, having people who are not confrontation-averse is such a game-changer. Because everyone's passive-aggressive and in their feelings. I love that.
