Chapter 2: How does Michelle feel about storming the field in sports?
You can give him a lightsaber if you want. Otherwise, he's got his nice cane. I keep the cane up. Just keep us all humble.
You know, how about the books? Pick one of the books there that you that you like that has some sort of meaning to you of any kind. I'll filibuster for you here.
So, you know, I like that. I like the big bad book of Bill Murray just because I think all things Bill Murray. And then honestly, I like, hold on. There's two of them, right? Because they were written by friends. And you guys know how it is when friends write books. You're like, all right. So my buddy Bill Schoening covered the Spurs.
He did radio for the Spurs for like, I'm not even kidding, 30 something years. He just retired, like just retired. And Josh Wolfe is my guy. And I will read anything that he puts out. I go see him whenever he's in town. You know, he was a single dad for a while. And that's not usually the way that goes. So he's got cool stories to tell.
Let's put up on the screen here Zion. No, no, no embarrassment here. Zion with the skinny arms here. Zion has lost a ton of weight. Zion is as unique a basketball player as there has ever been. And I do wonder, even though I never fat shamed him, I do wonder how much strength gets lost with him being this kind of skinny. I don't know enough about the human body and what it takes to be him.
What are your thoughts when you see Zion Williamson looking like this?
Well, as a person who treats her body as a temple as well, I can tell you that when you lose weight, you don't necessarily lose the strength because he's look, he's got he's got all the advantages. Us mere mortals could only dream about a chef on hand. I'm sure whenever he needs it, if not provided by him, the team for sure.
They are surrounded by trainers and nutritionists and the best of the best in the world of physical being. So I don't think he's I think if anything, he'll be faster. I hope that this will keep him from from being more injury prone. You know, I think he looks great. I think he looks the way we always wanted him to look. And that's horrible to say, because who am I to say what we want?
But but you guys know what I mean. As fans of the sport and the fans of Zion, I think this is sort of the dream is like to streamline it and get get strong. And, you know, the pictures are, by the way, some of these pictures coming out of these media days are wild and It's just ridiculous.

How are you, Captain Slappy?
Stoogatz. Is this Chum Bucket? This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stoogatz.
Michelle, can I ask you some life advice that I'm curious on? Oh, God.
Yeah, because I'm killing it. Go ahead.
Well, no, no. This is more like I'm interested in your perspective on this because I had an incident about a week ago, and I feel like you might have some insight on how I should handle this situation. how long should I have phone numbers for and how often should I purge phone numbers?
Not including death, because I feel like death, I wouldn't purge numbers just because I wouldn't want to lose the contact. Now, here's the specifics of this scenario where I thought I should probably start purging and getting rid of some numbers. So about a week ago, I tested positive for COVID. So I did what I thought was the responsible thing.
And I reached out to coworkers cause I had been at the office. I didn't think that I had that obviously. And then I said, you know what, let me go to a minute clinic. I'll get, you know, checked out. I probably have like some sort of, Like cold, flu, whatever. And they're like, oh, you tested positive.
So I'm like, I should probably text my coworkers and tell them, hey, just a heads up, if you're not feeling well, you should go get tested just in case and take the proper precautions here. So I texted, instead of texting, we have a lot of people here. So instead of texting like, 15, 20 people on one chain.

Chapter 4: What are the expectations for the San Antonio Spurs this season?
Not dead. But this is great. This is a person of the opposite sex. So then I like look the person up and this person, me and my wife work together at the mall. So she knows this person. So then in my head, I'm like, I wonder if this person now is going to reach out to my wife and be like, hey, your husband's been texting me and he's telling me he has COVID. And then it'll be a situation.
What is the advice that you need from Michelle?
Well, I'm trying to paint the picture accurately so she understands the conundrum that we're in here. Yeah. And then when I checked her Instagram, I'm like, she's like in Asia right now. I don't think she's going to get this. Hopefully she's changed her number. In that case, I've now texted a total stranger telling them that I have COVID and they have numbers of my coworkers too.
So what is the, I guess, line on when I should probably just remove contacts to protect myself from myself? I don't know.
You know what, now that you're saying, I don't think I've ever deleted a number. Me neither. Because I don't, so you know, you have those friends that constantly are changing their numbers. So I always put their new, I put their name with like the new date. So I know whatever the last number was.
But do you delete their old one? don't I'll just have like this person new and then I'm like yeah I will literally never need their old phone number but then they've got a new one afternoon so I'll either put like new new or new 2025 and then was like Chris new after Chris new 2025 like I don't know
No, I put the actual date like Sean Elliott is known for changing numbers a lot. So I constantly I'm like, I don't know. Like right now, I'm not even 100% sure which of these is the current one. If maybe there's even a new one. I have no idea. I would never delete anything because why? But at the same time, you should mess with everybody in the send her a picture of your wee wee.
And let's get this thing started now that you want to not ask this advice.
That is a terrible idea.
