Chapter 1: What was the highlight of the NBA Draft?
Uh, PG-13, I think you only have to be 13.
All right, different example. If the elders of your synagogue pronounce you a man, you're certainly mature enough to play the ball.
That's 13, too.
John, what do you have against 13-year-olds? I was old enough to be tried as an adult at 13, so don't tell me an 18 or a 19-year-old isn't mature enough for the NBA. You were in a prison at 13. No, no, no, John. I was tried at 13. They never found the weapon, man. It's amazing how far a little cash-a-roo will go in the criminal justice system. Corruption. Here's the point, John.
We need to get these kids in the NBA, because if they're anything like me at that age, they're going to need a lot of cash. Go Wizards!
Thank you.
Can I tell you something? Yes, tell me. That was exhilarating. Now I know how my son feels. I do that to him, and then he tries to do that to me, and I think like, oh, I feel young again. Is this now, did that tire you out at all? Because now I feel like this is not enough refreshment for you. Does this seem like, how big is your mug at home? It's actually about that high. About that thick.
So this is more like the thing you rinse your mouth out with after brushing your teeth? No, this would be like a shot glass. Even though I don't drink in public. It's more like a shot glass. And I can barely lift mine. So you can see there's differences with you. How are you doing, by the way?
Is it hard for you right now? You look still like you could play. Actually, I'm living fabulous. I'm comfortable in my own skin. I'm staying out of trouble. I'm working on my Ph.D. I graduated May 5th. I'm still sexy. I still have some firmness in my ass when I touch it.

Chapter 2: What are the age requirements for the NBA Draft?
Well, not countless. Isn't it just Jeremy Lin?
Countless players, Trevor. Okay, look, the Year of the Monkey happens every 12 years, okay? So we need to fix this right now, or this is just gonna keep on offending people, okay? And we can't move Chinese New Year because it's based on the moon, okay? There's nothing we can do about it. So, I suggest you guys just move Black History Month. What? No, no, no. Whoa, Ronnie.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, we can't just move Black History Month. Sure you can. Why do you want February anyway? It's like the coldest and shortest month. Yeah, sometimes it's missing a day. It's like a bad month. Look, I can't believe you guys were suckered into taking February in the first place, all right? Why don't you take something like May?
It's got 31 days and there's no monkey-based holidays, all right? It's beautiful. You know, Ronnie, I see your suggestion, but I wouldn't count on that happening. Look, Trevor, all I'm saying is black people, listen, we're all on the same team here, okay? We're not your enemy. We've already proved we can work well together in rush hour, remember? Yeah, that's right.
Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan kicked ass, conformed to racial stereotypes, and respected each other's holidays. Ronnie, don't you ever touch a black man's holiday. Trevor, we're not trying to touch your holiday, okay? Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? Oh, nice, nice. That's Rush Hour. That's what we did. It was Rush Hour. Oh, yeah, that's right. It is from Rush Hour.
I didn't even realize. See? It's bringing us together already. Oh, it really is. That feels good. Thank you so much.
Ronnie Chang, everyone.
Thank you.
