They took it as Rob Palenka saying, you know, my friend doesn't know how to do this.

So this story is shared.

That's amazing.

So this story is then, you know, in the fact-checking process, this was the Lakers' response, quote, to make it appear that Jeannie does not understand basketball and that she needs mansplaining to inform her about pick swaps is false and outrageous, and any assertion that Palenka did not understand pick swaps sufficiently to explain that Jeannie Buss is, quote, outrageous, and, quote, falsely portrays Palenka as unknowledgeable about NBA contracts, something that no one has ever claimed about him, and is utterly ridiculous to suggest about one of history's most successful basketball agents, end quote.

I will tell you.

So this was around 20.

This is like when Stephen A. I live in New York.

This is ESPN Radio.

So this is when his the beginning of the comeback.

Right.

He was kind of making his way back to ESPN.

So he was hosting a radio show there.

And anyone who's interned for radio knows that job means often going to get snacks for the host.

So Diet Coke for Michael K, but Stephen A, cheese doodles.

And the problem, I quickly learned, it was every show, but I quickly learned that cheese doodles are not one of those chips that are like regularly available at every bodega.

You have to go actually searching for cheese doodles.

So I would go, ESPN Radio was above Penn Station.

I would go into Penn Station and go searching for cheese doodles.

And also, and I wasn't on purpose, but Stephen A, he often, I think he would often underestimate the cost of some of the food he would ask us to get him sometimes.

Yeah.
