I firmly believe when you look at our team that we had last year, I think we're a top five team of all time of all time. That's that's big teams really stood no chance. You've seen that in the super bowl. Like, I mean the score finished what was 40 to 20 something, but in reality it was, it wasn't even, it wasn't even really a game.

It's cool. Anytime you could just chill with your teammates. I feel like this helps us in the future when we're grinding in camp or in those big games. But it's an honor, man. I'm happy that you guys are doing this. You guys... are inspiring a lot of people, especially kids. So I'm happy to be on here with my guys and talking ball.
Talking ball. Talking everything. Talking everything. Everyone will talk about it. First guest. We're still kind of working through the kinks. I'm excited, too.
I'm getting to see, like, a different side of you guys. Once we start, whatever, our personalities start showing a little bit, you know? I see you. So it's crazy though. Cause like I see your personality more like this guy, like when he first came, he was quiet, quiet as hell. So like to see him doing this and like, you gotta get him out of my shell.
All right. What is exciting you this week?
You got the NBA playoffs.
You got a team.
Um, no, not really. I never, even like once Kobe left the league, I never had a team. I was a Colby and the Lakers fan.
