I'm a little bit sad about that 'cause it was such a great time, but uh don't have my podcast candle around me 'cause I'm at this I'm in I'm in the office, which we haven't decorated. We decorated on that side, which is kinda hard to see, but I brought in all these decorations and everything. But I'm missing my podcast candle. I miss you guys. How are you guys doing? You
kinda look like you're
horrible in there.

I do have though?
And I got quite good at it. I'm trying to
uh I've had this in a box for a few years, but
what's in the
box? I found my uh fidget spinner. Oh. Which I got quite good at. I was able to like do it on the you know, like kind of I don't know, rotate it to different fingers and balance it
and all that stuff. But yeah.
So you're like a twelve
year old? Is that what you're
doing?
Brendan Nunes from the King's Pulse podcast or something like that. Uh Brendan, how are you? Something like that. I'm doing
well. Um Yeah, a little thrown off by flexing being good at a fidget spinner. I don't really at means.
Like I've never really seen anybody like do anything spectacular with it, but my little
brother used to like collect them um when he was younger and had a ridiculous amount of them. Yeah. It's like a shuriken. Yeah. A what? Shuriken.
What is that?
A ninja star. It's the same thing that you said.
Okay. Oh. All right. Look at Brennan getting all technical. Uh sorry, we've been off for a bit. Um over the last two weeks. I uh clearly have had shoulder surgery. Um, I'm on the mend. I'm not quite there yet, where I can't really reach the computer with my right arm still. Um Sean had bottle rock and uh Brendan has been growing out his hair.

Yeah, a little over two weeks away from draft day.
Yeah, I mean, I've been writing a bunch of profiles on sort of the guys that the Kings could consider pretty much everybody outside of the top four, whether it's Darius Acuff, Kingston Flemings, Mike Hill Brown Jr., uh Keaton Waggler, we're getting to Labyron Phylon. La I think I said his first name right. LeBaron. I knew that I'd said it wrong. Um yes, LeBaron.
Chrysler LeBaron. Oh, I knew about that. Oh, well then you should have known that that was his name. Then it's your fault.
Yeah, I didn't know that, but we'll pretend like I did. Um, I watch all these games on mute with like my lo fi in the background. So the names the names kind of come at the end, to be honest. Uh what do you
mean your lo fi in the background? What does that mean? YouTube a little bit of lo fi, Sean. You know what lo fi is? Uh like a like a like a sound, like a little hum or like like white noise?
No, no, no. It's not like Kid Cuddy humming in my ear.
