How did Brook and Robin Lopez's childhood shape their relationship?

Dan Le Batard 0:04
Kings Network.
Brook Lopez 0:25
Welcome. I am very happy, excited to talk to both of these guys about their relationship. Robin Lopez, Brooke Lopez, you know how many years you have in the league together, right? Do you know the combination number of years in the NBA? Do you know the number?
Stugotz 0:37
I was always a fuzzy, so I left all the math stuff up to him.
Brook Lopez 0:40
He's 16 years. He's 18 years. It's a remarkable story. Twins, congratulations on all your success. I know you guys want to talk about comic books and Disney. We will get to that because I suspect you're overgrown toddlers in this way. Your love of Disney. is very strong.

What unique experiences did the Lopez twins have growing up?

Brook Lopez 0:58
I haven't seen a lot like it. We'll get to that in a second, but I wanted to talk to you first about your relationship. So, Robin, what would you tell me is your relationship with Brooke? How would you articulate it to somebody who's a stranger?
Stugotz 1:11
How would I articulate it? I would say it's very active through Facebook Messenger. Um, we have, we don't have our own one-on-one. We do have our one-on-one chat because everybody, you know, everybody has chats, but the most active chat we have is a group of three or four friends. We don't really mess each other one-on-one, but through that group chat, um, we rib each other. There's nothing super genuine exchange. I don't think anything needs to be, but, um, yeah, that's what I would say. Yeah, I mean, it's funny because, like he said, it's never really direct. Even if he's in the chat and I need something from him or I have to say something to him, it's, hey, Ryan, or hey, David, how about this idiot over here?
Stugotz 2:06
Can you tell him this? Or I need this guy to do this.

How did their love for Disney and animation begin?

Stugotz 2:08
Why won't he listen to me? You know, stuff like that for some reason. And Of course, we're closer than close can be, but we also don't really speak to each other that often. It just kind of makes us out to be cowards, I guess.
Brook Lopez 2:22
I don't think I'm understanding, though, because insults are the language of intimacy among men very often. I don't understand why you wouldn't be talking directly to each other.
Stugotz 2:36
Um, I don't know. I guess you're going to get some exclusive stuff here because this is exclusive to even the two of us. We can really air it out right now. Like, what's the deal, Robin? What's the deal, Robin? I've been waiting years to hear that. Wow. A real non-answer.

What are the Lopez twins' favorite Disney memories?

Stugotz 2:52
Not even an answer, just a non-answer. Um... I don't know. Maybe it's just that I don't ever want to seem like, you know, I'm asking him for something or bothering him. So they're being a burden at all, you know. We always know that we'll be there for each other. We got each other's back at a moment. So it's drop of a hat. If anything needs to be done, anything needs to be taken care of. You know, if something were to go down and, you know, us two kids grew up in North Hollywood and then have pretty much, you know, had silver spoons the rest of our life. Not silver spoons, but we've been comfortable. We've, you know, we are. Copper spoons? Copper spoons. Yes, yes.

How do Brook and Robin balance their NBA careers with personal interests?

Stugotz 3:38
Our mom, you know, sacrificed everything to, you know, make our lives comfortable and to make ends meet. But, you know, if we were to somehow end up on the street somehow and it went down, we'd be there for each other. That's what I'm trying to say. What it kind of reminds me of, because definitely growing up, I think you were the aggressor, you were the bully.
Dan Le Batard 4:00
Yeah.
Stugotz 4:00
He doesn't deny it. Yeah. What it reminds me of is Maid with Children. I think somebody, a creator on that show, succinctly summarized the family saying, they're always at each other's necks. Of course, I'm paraphrasing. They're always at each other's necks. But when somebody attacked the family, the family would respond as a whole.
Brook Lopez 4:19
But even though you're one minute younger, you are the little brother in this.
Stugotz 4:25
I'm the baby brother in the whole, yes. The dynamic, yeah.

What challenges have the Lopez twins faced in their basketball careers?

Stugotz 4:28
To my mother, to my older brothers, yes.
Brook Lopez 4:30
And so how does that work? Take me through the earliest forms of this. Like when you're the little brother growing up, how does that, I mean, you're a minute younger. You're not really the little brother.
