Ah, yes. Good morning, everyone. It is a Friday. We did it, everybody. We made it to Friday. That's right. Give it up for Friday. Everybody loves a Friday. What kind of person doesn't like Friday? What a crew we got here today. Roy and Jeremy and Tony and Mike. I don't know if this crew's ever worked together yet. We'll find out. Dave. Dave is... Dave is here as well. Hello, Dave. How are you? Well, I'm doing all right, as well as can be expected. I can't see that it's Friday because of the Canadian wildfires. I'm in Pittsburgh, PA, don't you know? And boy, it is apocalyptic here. All right. So what does that mean? Because I am hearing about like you go outside and is the sky like a different color? Yes. It's orange.
And, you know, you know, it's obviously 9 a.m. and it's it's orange outside. But also when you walk out, it smells like fire. We're not we're nowhere close to Canada where I sit right now. The air stinks of fire. It's wild. All right. But can we can we make sure everything's clear for for Sunday afternoon for the World Cup? Are we going to be good there, Mike? It's supposed to rain and clear out some of that smoke. But yeah, I mean, Dan. Smoke on a mic. Yeah, Dan's happier than a pig in shit knowing that climate change is coming to the World Cup final. Why don't we just take, you know, the brand Big Ass Fans? They have them at all the stadiums. They're literally called Big Ass Fans. Why don't you take a bunch of Big Ass Fans, right?
And we put them on one side of the stadium and we all kick them on. That's great. And then it just blows that way and trying to blow the smoke the opposite way.
Yeah. The hurricanes.
It was too far. Bomb the hurricanes.
Too far.
That's what I'm saying. So we got a lot to get to here today. The biggest news. I mean, I know there's World Cup, there's climate change, but let's get to serious stuff here. Right across the street at Kaseya Center. Tony, you were there yesterday, right? I was in the building.
Yep. I was in the building. Giannis, Bobby Portis getting introduced, No. 7 and No. 95.
Jeremy was also there, and all the luminaries of the Miami sports media scene were there in the building.
I didn't have to go because they come to me. We'll get to that coming up. What do you got for us here? Do we have something from you, from your adventures yesterday at the arena? Obviously, as you guys know, I've been all in on the heat this week.
Went to junior camp, got the invite there, hopefully moving over to camp coming up in the earlier part of August and September, try to get to real camp. But I was able to schmooze enough to get into the Giannis press conference. I'm going to see if I can get a question answered. So we put a little package together to see if the boy could get in there and get a question for number seven. All right, a huge day in Heat history. We're introducing Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis. We just heard Bobby talk. Giannis is coming up next. We're going to go get some food. Go look around the arena a little bit and then come back. This little Mediterranean spread. It's the perks of being in the media. You know, you get certain things.
The food is one of them. We've ingratiated ourselves with the heat. Obviously, summer leave over in Vegas. I've proven myself at junior camp. Now I can get real camp. We're trying to do all these things, try and get a Giannis interview one-on-one. I feel like we're close.
Right now, I'm going to do a little bit of eating, probably a little bit more schmoozing after this, and hobnobbing to see if we can land a Giannis interview.
Welcome again, everybody. I just want to recognize a few people first. Mariah, his wife, over here sitting next to the vet. If anybody has a question for me or Spoh, we'll answer it, and then we get out of his way, and you can alter yourself. Wouldn't that be good? Anybody? Yeah, Tim. Hey, Coach. When, ever since you got here.
Hopefully, you know, the player that I am, I can feel right in, and I can play tomorrow.
