What is the main focus of today’s Kings Beat episode?
Welcome to the Kings Beat Podcast. I'm James Ham, a Kings Insider for ESPN thirteen twenty and the Kings Beat. Joining me today, we've got KCRA three, Sean Cunningham. Sean, how are you?
I'm good. It kind of looks like I have a virtual background, but I don't. I'm at work. This is a nice little uh interview room that we do. Uh usually more so for politics. If you ever see Ashley Zavala grilling a political pundit or politician, it's usually with this in the background. So um I'm gonna try not to mess up this room. I can't light my candle. I did see this candle behind me though. I'm very tempted. I think it must be a prop though, but I'm okay.
It's very symmetrical behind you. Like everything is like you might be a little off centered.
Oh well, that's my fault because I look at me, I'm trying to adjust and Scouts on TV. I have to I have to try not to bump this table because this table is very, you know, look at that. See there?
It has an earthquake in downtown Sacramento. You heard it here first. Uh we are, of course, also joined by Brennanis from the King's Pulse podcast, something like that. Brennan, how are you?
I'm doing well. Doing well. Back from my Brazil trip. Uh hopefully got a tiny bit of color. It were starting from a really low start. Um so attempting to not be reflective anymore. Um doing well. Doing well. Glad to be here, fellas.
I've lived uh over fifty years being reflective. There's nothing wrong with with being, you know, basically trans translucent. Yeah. Yeah. Um
So tell me about Brazil though. Did you accomplish everything you were looking to accomplish? What was the uh uh I remember you're gonna hit some dunes, I gave you some shit about uh being last in your group while you're admiring the scenery around you and filming a social media video?
Yeah, I was writing this like ATV through these insane dunes that it feels like you're on another planet. Um, and it it's called Len Soyce, if anybody wants to look it up. Um, it was extremely cool. Apparently, so you get you gentlemen have probably seen this. You know, in Infinity War, they go to a scene where they're talking about like a soul shard or something like that, and it looks like they're showing a different planet. It's like dunes and water, and they Put this like purple filter over it. Well, anyways, that is the same place. Um, very cool. I was riding through, and Sean gave me a bunch of crap for being at the back of the group, like I'm supposed to be speeding through all this or something, taking my time and taking in the scenes.
Um, but was all good. Went to a little bit of a smaller city, um, at least not like you know, Rio type of thing, um, San Luis, which was very cool. Little wet and uh hung out for a while before we ended up over at those dunes. It was all great. I got a candle.
Out there, fellas. So what's in the uh what's in what's in it?
Yeah, yeah. Sean, I swear that this looks prettier than you would think. Uh Sean claims it looks like something else. You could probably guess if you're on the YouTube side. Smells great. Um I'm not usually like it's it's a little more lemony. I'm not usually a like fruit scent guy, but uh this one smelled pretty good to me. Can we call you uh Brazilian Brendan now? Sure. My last name's Portuguese, you know. Oh. Listen to a lot of Portuguese. I'll tell you that. When I got when I got back to LAX, I wanted to hug the first guy that spoke to me in English. Oh. It was great. That would have been awkward. It's a great how warm was it? Warm. Uh everybody else was complaining more about the warmth than me. So like it was definitely warm, but I think I expected worse.
Definitely a little humid, but never rained while we were there. It's except like twenty minutes at a random point. Um, but yeah, no, it was great. It was great. Made it back just in time for the draft.
