1:27

one hand I feel like I should do the intro

1:29

and just talk about all the pageantry and stuff. But

1:31

on the other hand I feel like people want to

1:33

talk about the basketball first. I feel like I should

1:35

get to the basketball before I get to the jokes. Should

1:37

I like get to the jokes before I get to the basketball?

1:40

I mean your call like people

1:43

are clearly wanting to talk about the basketball. But

1:45

the pageantry of the Olympics it's like you

1:47

know it's better now than never because you

1:49

know that shit is moving. The Olympics just

1:51

go so fast. You know what? Yeah

1:54

we gonna make it. Yeah it's a T

1:56

Sean. We will get to the Olympic basketball

1:58

team in a second. I

2:01

don't know how many of you who

2:03

are watching this, listen to this, or

2:05

whatever it is, have been to Paris.

2:08

Like I think that a lot of

2:10

people have, we make mistakes in what

2:12

our assumptions are about what everybody has

2:14

experienced. And if you have not been

2:16

to Paris, I will say, find

2:18

a way to make one like you went to

2:21

Clark Atlanta University. It is the dopest city in

2:23

the world, at least as far as I'm concerned.

2:25

I have been to Paris twice now. I

2:28

really enjoy it. I think the thing

2:30

about Paris is there's something to be

2:32

said about a city that has just

2:34

made a decision that they are going

2:36

to invest a great deal of effort,

2:38

of energy and resources toward being beautiful.

2:42

Right? They very much so believe in

2:44

their own personality and their kind of

2:47

style of life, and they've leaned in

2:49

it. And look, they don't care if

2:51

we think they lazy. You know what I'm saying? We

2:53

don't care if we think, smell a little funny in

2:56

here, right? They ain't worried about none of that stuff,

2:58

man. They just live in life in the way that

3:00

France lives life. Sean, I don't know if I told

3:02

you about this, but when I was in Barcelona, I

3:06

wanted to go watch Spain and France. They were playing

3:08

in the Euro, but quite honestly, I really want

3:10

to go watch Spain play because I wasn't really

3:12

rooting for them. Because like, if I'm going to

3:14

be honest here, you know what I'm saying? I

3:17

in international competition, I typically root according to

3:20

like my geopolitics, if I'm being honest, and

3:22

I don't think either one of them got

3:24

their politics really on hit. But

3:27

you know, I was rooting for the black

3:29

people like that's just kind of when it

3:31

comes down to France got them in that

3:33

in Bape. I like him. The black part

3:35

is entirely coincidental. But anyway, I

3:37

couldn't figure out where to go to watch

3:39

the match. I was trying to Google and

3:42

get it figured out. But I was on

3:44

a train. I was getting ready to go

3:46

somewhere and I saw two dudes and they

3:49

had on blue French

3:51

jerseys. And

3:53

I was like, oh, I don't have to

3:55

just watch this with the

3:57

Barcelona, you know, the Spanish fans. to

8:00

ignore the absurdity of the idea that they

8:02

have sanded for the Eiffel Tower. Like

8:05

that's, have you seen them where they fence

8:07

it at Versailles? Yeah, I mean

8:09

the location is, you

8:12

really can't beat it as a city and the fact

8:14

that yeah, you get these photos of LeBron on a

8:16

boat with the flag. Like it just adds to it.

8:19

Yes, although I gotta say, can

8:22

I be honest here? I guess it's

8:24

good that LeBron is the flag bearer or

8:26

whatever it is, but like given our nation's

8:28

history, this

8:30

big old boat, like with all these black people on it,

8:33

with the American flag. It

8:38

might be a tough scene to some people, you know? Yeah,

8:40

I'm glad I noticed the Olympics. You

8:43

know what I'm saying? Like I'm glad I understand

8:45

what the context is. This could go

8:47

another, or what if it was LeBron

8:49

at the front of that boat and

8:52

he was the Toussaint Louboutur of

8:55

American history. You may not know who Toussaint

8:57

Louboutur is. Look him up. I'm

9:00

gonna understand what an absurd statement that I just made,

9:02

but that would be funny if somebody else at the

9:04

flag bearer of LeBron took it over. I'm the captain

9:06

now. I mean, I guess

9:08

he probably wouldn't sound like that, but at

9:10

the same time still, it'd be I'm the

9:13

captain now. Yeah, Toussaint Louboutur, among

9:15

G's, look the man up. Haiti.

9:18

Wow, that's one thing they didn't mention in the opening

9:20

ceremonies, by the way. There was no discussion of the

9:23

Haitian Revolution, but they did discuss the French Revolution. And

9:25

I don't know if you guys peep that. You see

9:27

that where they had all the

9:29

Marie Antoinettes with the head in hand

9:31

while the heavy metal bag, Gojira was

9:33

out there playing whatever they heavy metal

9:36

song was. Yo, they had, first of

9:38

all, I didn't know France did metal,

9:40

number one. Number two, what I love

9:42

about that is something that we greatly

9:45

underestimate about the French. Every

9:47

year, they celebrate that time that

9:50

they cut the Queen's head off.

9:54

Every year, it is a

9:56

national celebration of that

9:58

time that we went. and

10:00

we chopped the Queen's head off.

10:03

We did that. We run this,

10:05

which is a way at all

10:07

times to tell everybody we

10:09

did it before, we'll

10:12

do it again. What

10:14

an amazing flex before the world.

10:17

We got them in checkup there.

10:19

We did it before, we'll

10:22

do it again. With French medal playing

10:24

in the background, that's just hardcore. Yes.

10:27

You know, like it couldn't be more hardcore. Yes, yes. They

10:30

are hardcore people, man, right?

10:33

They passed that torch around. Tony

10:35

Parker got it. I hope Brent Barry isn't

10:37

a Celine Dion fan because I'm sure he

10:39

missed it. That

10:41

too much? Was that too much? Did

10:44

I go too far? Okay,

10:46

good to know, right? But no, but they had him.

10:48

I think they have Marie, Marie-Jos Perrec.

10:50

I ain't seen my girl, Sir Yabonalee out there.

10:53

I think they could have found a way. Not

10:55

gonna lie. The French, yo, the

10:57

French are much better about giving props to

10:59

people from other countries, right? Like, you know

11:01

how they love Josephine Baker? Apparently they feel

11:03

the same way about the doll. They putting

11:05

the doll into ceremonies, I guess, because he

11:07

won the French Open so many times. I'd

11:09

be damned. I don't care.

11:11

Like, America is not doing that. They

11:14

ain't about to act like you from here if you not. No,

11:16

and they're championing people,

11:20

I guess if they did it in France or

11:22

who have some sort of connection. But yeah,

11:24

I know they're big stars. They're swimmer who's

11:27

like the next Michael Phelps, but

11:29

outside of that, I don't know how

11:31

many more standout athletes they have. Well,

11:33

Victor will be there soon, right? Certainly.

11:37

I mean, I imagine on some level they could

11:39

have had Rudy Gobert out there, but somebody might

11:41

have dunked on him, like right there in the

11:43

opening ceremonies in front of

11:45

everybody. That was entirely possible. Another thing happened,

11:48

by the way, beyond, oh, Celine Dion, I

11:50

wanna get to that. You mentioned Celine Dion.

11:52

And I vaguely was aware

11:56

of her having the health issues, because she

11:58

ain't really my jam. So

12:00

I hadn't really been paying attention, like the

12:02

idea that I haven't seen Celine Dion in

12:04

a while means nothing to me. But Celine

12:06

Dion and her inclusion in the way they

12:08

included her pointed out something that is very

12:10

important and I guess it's probably in a

12:12

way says to Ralph and the doll. I'm

12:14

pretty sure that after all these times of

12:17

whooping ass at Roland Garros that he speak

12:19

good French. Because this is what I think

12:21

people need to understand. Being French is less

12:23

about being anything than it is about speaking

12:25

French. Or at the

12:27

very least giving French the

12:29

old college try. That's what

12:31

it is. Celine Dion is Canadian

12:34

but she is a quépecois. I

12:36

believe is how we would say

12:38

she's a quépecois. She speaks French

12:40

and she got up there and

12:42

she sang and she's singing in

12:44

French. Sean I didn't understand a

12:46

single word of what she was

12:49

saying but I don't really think

12:51

that was the point. No, it

12:53

was just the impact of her

12:55

being there. Yes and even with

12:57

me not fully understanding what we're

12:59

talking about with the impact, right?

13:02

The emotion of the

13:04

moment was written all

13:06

over her the

13:09

whole way, right? Even

13:11

without with me not having a great

13:13

grasp on exactly what was going on

13:15

with her. You could see it all

13:18

over her face that she was dialing

13:20

it up almost like it's

13:22

it's dialed it up like watching a

13:25

great athlete you know might not have

13:27

another game like this, right? Like watching

13:29

Nola Ryan's 7th no hitter and if

13:31

you could see it on his face

13:33

he knows that this ain't gonna happen

13:35

again, right? She was so swept up

13:37

in it. Everybody was and it was

13:39

just like, yep this is very Parisian.

13:42

This is they've nailed this for themselves.

13:44

It's something to see a singer of

13:46

her caliber who's performed massive arenas performed

13:48

everywhere look nervous and feel the sense

13:50

of the moment and like yes to

13:52

your point like you might not even

13:54

know her situation but you felt that

13:57

it was something greater than what that

13:59

actually is. actual moment was. It

14:01

was. It was. Now, there's also like

14:03

the just getting reacclimated to the Olympics

14:05

and things I hadn't noticed. I was

14:08

hanging out with the homie Roy Wood

14:10

on Saturday and I don't

14:12

know if you guys know this. I don't

14:14

know if anybody else had noticed this but

14:17

did y'all know that

14:19

they not wearing headgear in Olympic

14:22

boxing no more? I

14:24

actually I had no idea. Is that is

14:26

that for sure? They're just full of. Yo,

14:28

I was watching on Saturday and them

14:30

dudes was out here fighting with

14:32

no headgear and I'm like wait

14:35

a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a

14:37

minute. You telling me that they out

14:39

here fighting for free with no headgear

14:41

on. That's very almost anti Olympics like

14:43

the Olympic boxing has always been headgear.

14:45

It's always synonymous with that. Yeah, I

14:48

had no idea that they scared these

14:50

cats out here risking risking concussions. No

14:52

headgear but see here's what makes it

14:54

wild. I saw

14:56

some of the lady boxing. They

14:59

had headgear on. Interesting.

15:02

And I tell you this too. I

15:04

don't hear nobody out here talking about

15:06

no gender equity in these times. You

15:08

know why? Cuz boxing without headgear in

15:10

the Olympics is stupid. That's the

15:12

dumbest thing I've ever heard but I

15:15

watched a match. It was a Mexican

15:17

woman from the United States against a

15:19

woman from I can't no no

15:21

this is a different fight. This is like a woman

15:23

from Turkey and I wanna say the other woman was

15:25

from France. No, the French

15:28

woman fought the American woman either way. It was two

15:30

women out there fighting. Dude, I have

15:32

no problem admitting this man. Lady boxing

15:34

made me feel uncomfortable. Uh

15:36

I feel the same way with MMA as well.

15:38

It it's a little it's a

15:40

little too rough and I don't know what that

15:43

says about me giving all the you know gender

15:45

aspects but it just doesn't sit right at times.

15:47

When it says about you is that you've been

15:49

socialized in this world the same way that I've

15:51

been socialized in this world and it's a little

15:53

rough to watch but this one man, this lady

15:55

was out there fighting. She fought like Muhammad Ali

15:57

man. She had her hands like down by her waist.

16:00

It was like just snapping them jabs. They

16:02

were like, they was scrapping. Like I watched

16:04

some lady boxing before. I feel like the

16:06

improvement that we've seen in the quality of

16:08

lady boxing is not terribly different than the

16:11

improvement that we've seen in women's basketball. Like

16:13

they play in a whole different game now

16:15

than they used to play out there. But

16:17

no, they were down there, they scrapping it

16:19

out. They were trying to make it happen.

16:21

But yeah, no, that was not comfortable. That

16:24

was not comfortable for me to watch. I'm

16:26

trying to get in and watch some of these randoms. I

16:28

watched some swimming. Have you watched any of the swimming? Yeah,

16:31

I watched, I mentioned him earlier,

16:34

Leon Garçon or Marchand, the French

16:36

phenom who beat Michael Phelps's like

16:39

world record that stood the test of time for like,

16:41

I don't know, 20 years. I

16:44

saw him last night win the 400 I am the medley, but

16:47

yeah, it's crazy to see

16:50

how fast they, oh, like, you know, like

16:52

it, it's just ridiculous. Yeah,

16:54

I have an observation I want to make

16:56

about the swimming and watching it. You remember

16:58

when it was a little while ago where

17:00

Michael Wilbond made everybody mad where he was

17:02

talking about how he didn't care about exit

17:04

velocity or like stats in baseball. And

17:07

like all the, all the baseball nerds

17:09

put down the lotion and came and

17:11

was like, hey, Michael Wilbond. And, you

17:14

know, and they just, they, they just

17:16

jumped on top of him basically for

17:18

being like an antiquated dinosaur and all

17:20

this, except I'm watching the

17:23

swimming and they got so many

17:25

statistics that are running on

17:27

the screen and so much data

17:29

that it was actually confusing me,

17:32

right? So they got the replays or whatever. And

17:34

look, I'm okay for world. All

17:36

I really need is the world record.

17:39

And if you want to give me

17:41

the world record split, yes, that's fine.

17:43

Otherwise you giving me, I

17:45

don't understand why you giving me all these

17:47

graphics when all these numbers, when there's a

17:49

whole last high-class athletic event right there on

17:51

my screen. Like I don't understand why you

17:53

don't think that this is enough.

17:55

I don't, I don't, I

17:58

just need to know who in first. Who is second?

18:01

Who in third? Right? I don't really

18:03

need to get down to the nitty-gritty

18:05

of it, but it was so confusing

18:07

at one point where as they're swimming,

18:09

they're giving me data on like how

18:11

many meters per second people are swimming,

18:13

except the person who in a given

18:15

moment might be swimming at the fastest

18:17

meters per second may not be the

18:19

person that's in first place, but it

18:21

feels to me my brain is going

18:23

to make that person into first place

18:25

because you're telling me that that person

18:27

is going the fastest and all of

18:29

this and I don't need any of

18:31

it whatsoever. If I'm watching swimming, I

18:33

just need them to swim and to

18:35

me I think this is what Wilbob

18:37

was talking about with some of this

18:39

unnecessary use of statistics. Like if you're

18:41

giving me something that is actually helping

18:43

me understand what is going on, that's

18:45

fine, but for example a stat like

18:47

exit velocity, it doesn't help me understand

18:49

what's going on. You know why? I

18:51

can tell he just knocked the shit

18:53

out the ball. I heard it. I

18:55

know what a screaming line

18:57

drive looks like. He tore the cover off

19:00

the ball. That is as much as I

19:02

need to know about the specificity about somebody

19:04

knocking the shit out of basketball, okay, baseball.

19:06

That's about all I need. That's the same

19:09

way I felt about all those numbers they're

19:11

giving me about these people as they swim.

19:13

I don't need all that. This is not

19:15

an intellectual

19:18

endeavor for me. I am enjoying this.

19:20

Like it is a contest. It's cool

19:22

and I can tell everything I need

19:24

to tell by looking at who's ahead.

19:26

Now if you want to tell me

19:29

how many laps are left, that would

19:31

be very helpful for me to know,

19:33

right? Give me things I

19:35

need for context and then think

19:37

long and hard about things that

19:39

you just might want to tell

19:41

me, right? That's how this manages

19:43

to go. But my head was

19:45

spinning, just trying to keep track

19:47

of all this information and all

19:49

this data they're giving me and

19:51

they swimming in a pool, Sean.

19:53

That's it. They swimming in a

19:55

pool. It ain't hard to figure

19:57

out. It's an eye test. You

19:59

know, you literally see who's winning.

20:02

And I think it got confusing

20:04

last night because NBC always obviously

20:06

wants to highlight the American swimmers.

20:08

So, like, you know, there were

20:10

the top three swimmers who have their, like

20:13

you said, the meters per second or whatever

20:15

on their lane, but then they always had

20:17

it for the U.S. swimmer no matter what.

20:19

So there was just, like, extra numbers that

20:22

made my brain hurt and didn't really help. In

20:24

theory, it's like, okay, that guy's in first and

20:26

that guy's in second. And that's it. I

20:29

always do laugh at there's always one or two

20:31

guys who are leagues behind the

20:33

competition. That's my favorite thing of swimming. Yes,

20:36

you know what it is? Because getting to

20:38

the Olympics is a big deal, man. Yeah,

20:41

you know what I mean? Like, just simply

20:43

going to the Olympics is

20:45

a big deal. The other thing, though, that got me about,

20:47

like, the data overload as I see this and I think

20:50

about it is I say this many times and this is

20:52

the truth. The Olympics is sports for people who don't follow

20:54

sports. You are never going to be able to convince me

20:56

that the average viewer of the Olympic gives a damn about

20:58

all that data that they throw in out there. You're

21:01

just not. That's

21:03

not why we come to the

21:05

Olympics, really. Speaking of

21:08

22:38

Sean, I was watching the professional basketball game at

22:40

the Olympics. You know,

22:43

I don't know why people get mad at me

22:45

at saying this. I want to be very clear

22:47

about what my point is about the Olympics and

22:49

Olympic basketball. Is that to me, if

22:51

the Olympics are not the height of competition in

22:53

your area of sport, then it shouldn't be in

22:55

the Olympics. I don't think golf should be in

22:57

the Olympics. Djokovic and Nadal

22:59

were playing. I think they're playing today in the

23:01

Olympics that they played today. I don't think that

23:03

should be. Yeah, I don't think that should be

23:05

in the Olympics. Like, I just don't think those

23:07

kinds of games are supposed to be there. If

23:09

you want to have the basketball, that's fine. But

23:12

I think it should be like under 22. And

23:15

I think that would actually be much better. Hey, it'll be

23:17

better for America. Because if you make it under 22, it

23:20

fits better for the viewing experience for most people

23:22

watching the Olympics. And I think this is a

23:24

big part. You will promote

23:26

the sport's younger players. You'll

23:29

wind up with the occasional 18, 19-year-old super-fee,

23:33

like Cooper Flag, for example. If

23:35

you did under 22 this year, I bet Cooper

23:37

Flag somehow winds up making the team. And

23:40

you build the sport, and you go in that way. That's

23:42

my issue. People thought I was hating on LeBron when I

23:44

talked about that with the flag bearer and everything else. I

23:46

didn't think Coco Golf should be. I really didn't understand Coco

23:48

Golf carrying the flag. But I didn't think that she should

23:50

have been out there carrying the flag. I don't think she

23:52

should be there playing tennis. I

23:54

just don't think that's what the Olympics are for.

23:57

But anyway, we get this basketball, and it could

23:59

be very interesting. interesting, right? We had Serbia

24:01

out there. It was Yokich. You know

24:03

what that game looked like, Shaw? It

24:05

looked like what the faculty versus students

24:07

basketball game must look at for like

24:09

eighth grade at IMG Academy. Yeah. Where

24:11

like there's there's there's there's one teacher

24:13

and he's excellent and he does all

24:15

the old man stuff from the high

24:17

post and gets looks for the other

24:19

teachers but on the other side is

24:21

a bunch of future pros, right? And

24:23

they held it together at first until

24:25

America broke free and it dawned on

24:27

the just how demoralizing it must be

24:30

to play for one of these other

24:32

countries like Serbia or honestly even Canada

24:34

or anybody else to where you go

24:36

out there, you get past tip off.

24:39

You guys are hanging tough. You keeping

24:41

the game close. You know what I'm

24:43

saying and then next thing you know,

24:45

they go to the bench and who walks in Kevin

24:48

Durant. That's

24:51

who walks in the game. Yeah, Kevin Durant was just sitting

24:53

over there and not doing anything and they were like, hey,

24:55

do you like to play some basketball? And he said, sure,

24:57

I'd love to play some basketball. It was

24:59

incredible before the game hearing Carath Burke, the

25:02

reporter being like, he is clear to play.

25:04

He won't start. Who knows how many minutes

25:06

he gets and he just didn't miss his

25:08

first like five minutes back. Didn't miss. I

25:10

mean, did he miss at all? I don't

25:13

think he did. He missed a shot. If he did,

25:15

I didn't sure didn't see it. Okay. One field. Okay.

25:17

He was eight for nine. I believe. Yeah. I

25:19

damn sure didn't see that shot. He was in

25:21

there. Cash money. LeBron was cash money. I told

25:23

you it was like that game. I went to

25:25

a Barclay center. I went to see the Lakers

25:27

and LeBron went like nine to 10 for three,

25:29

but nobody was there telling me stats. So I

25:32

didn't fully grasp it. I'm like, damn, people really

25:34

excited about LeBron making threes. They all standing up

25:36

every time he gets the ball. Broad was like

25:38

the thing I hadn't really thought about because LeBron

25:40

hasn't played in the Olympics now in so long

25:42

because he didn't feel like his resume needed the

25:44

padding until now, but LeBron

25:47

being out there and being guarded

25:49

by some dude from Serbia, a

25:51

yo bitch or a yo judge,

25:53

you know, well, he an itch

25:56

and then whatever it is, he a itch. I looked

25:58

up and down that box score. It's a

26:00

lot of scratching going on. You know what I'm

26:02

saying? He, like I really hadn't given a lot

26:04

of thought to the idea that this is the

26:06

first time and who knows how long the LeBron

26:08

Doesn't really have ten eyes on him at all

26:10

time. Like this is as easy

26:12

as it'll ever be for him He doesn't

26:15

know anything about what this is like and

26:17

he and Kevin Durant were cash money They

26:19

beat Serbia by 26 points

26:22

and in line again With

26:24

what I always say about Team USA basketball

26:26

where in the end all we really do

26:28

is look for a reason to be salty

26:32

The majority of the discussion after the

26:35

game is about the fact that Jason

26:37

Taitl did not play I Would

26:40

like to make a couple of points about

26:42

Jason Taitl not playing in this game Point

26:45

number one is this an

26:48

exhibition tour or is this a basketball team?

26:50

Because if it's a basketball team really only

26:52

eight or nine guys are supposed to play

26:55

Not everybody's going to wind up getting in the

26:57

game, right? And the whole point of

27:00

all this stuff they doing and all these

27:02

summer tournaments they play and everything else is

27:04

to stop treating This is like an exhibition

27:06

tour or coordination and to treat it like

27:08

a real basketball team and on a real

27:10

basketball team Somebody like him might not play

27:12

because the whole team is full of somebody's

27:15

like him except for the fact Shawn

27:18

Derek white got 16 minutes and so

27:20

people were not like really

27:23

yeah Yeah,

27:26

that's right hit people funny except when you listen to

27:28

Kurt talk after the game He

27:30

sees tatum as a four. They got remember Jason Tatum is

27:32

like 610 He

27:35

sees Jason Tatum as a four and if

27:37

you see Jason Tatum as a four then

27:39

yeah They got a lot of they the

27:41

problem is this They see

27:43

Jason Tatum as a four and they have

27:45

a lot of guys who are better at

27:47

four Than Jason Tatum is even if you

27:49

might think that Jason Tatum is a better

27:51

player I think

27:54

that part of it also probably has to

27:56

do with the fact that I Don't

27:59

I think it's unfair to call Tatum a

28:01

ball stopper. Like I don't think he

28:03

has that kind of game, but Tatum

28:06

has a little bit of a problem

28:08

that Joel Embiid has a lot of and that

28:10

I think is ultimately gonna result in Joel Embiid

28:12

not playing much anymore, which is this thing runs

28:14

through me and if the ball doesn't

28:17

run through him, I don't really know if he

28:19

knows exactly what there is to do. You

28:22

know, like one thing about Team USA that is different

28:24

than just about every other team, probably in the Olympics,

28:26

and Team USA would probably be better if it was

28:28

run this way, teams are supposed to run through players.

28:30

Like I did a pod the other day with Marcus

28:32

Johnson and Chris Johnson and that was one thing we

28:35

talked about was that he's like, Marcus Johnson was saying

28:37

how he loved to see that team run

28:39

through Steph. Yeah. Right?

28:42

But generally speaking, a team runs through its

28:44

best players like Slovenia gets themselves to silver

28:46

medal games and major tournaments because they run

28:48

it through Luka. Right? Team

28:50

USA is a bit different, right? It's a

28:52

bit more of a democratic sort of a

28:55

feel. Steve Kerr likes his basketball good and

28:57

democratic and Steve Kerr gonna play Derek White

28:59

and Steve Kerr love a role player. He reminds me

29:02

a lot of myself, right? Like that's the way that

29:04

Steve Kerr happens to do this. But what that's gonna

29:06

mean from time to time is a dude like Jason

29:08

Tatum is not gonna play. Now you can make the

29:10

argument that he could have got Jason Tatum into the

29:12

game because it was a 26 point game and

29:16

that gets me to my point, which is why are

29:18

y'all finding something to whine about when they won a

29:20

game by 26 points? They

29:23

won a game by 26 points, Jason Tatum didn't get

29:25

in the game. Y'all just need something to talk about.

29:27

Y'all can't talk about the fact that they won by

29:29

26 points. Like I'm sure he's a little salty, but

29:31

he's gonna win gold. That's all you showed

29:34

up for. Yeah, like he's going to

29:36

get in from time to time, but this

29:38

is not, it's almost, it's

29:40

very, it's akin to the

29:43

discussion of all-star snub. Like,

29:47

all right, so who we taking out the game? Right?

29:50

And then it gets to be a

29:52

little bit trickier, right? But I'm looking

29:54

at this. There's nobody that

29:56

got minutes that I'm saying definitively

29:58

shouldn't have got. for Jason Tatum.

30:00

Are y'all saying that they

30:03

should have should have thrown Jason Tatum some pity minutes,

30:06

right? They should have gave him five minutes so he could get

30:08

out there. Is that what y'all are saying should have happened? Uh,

30:11

Steve Kerr said today that Jason Tatum will get

30:13

minutes against their next game against South Sudan. So

30:15

he has that going for him. Yeah, cool. Go

30:17

ahead. But nobody cares. Like, and that's what I

30:19

guess I am blown away by the idea that

30:22

anybody's trying to masquerade as though they really care

30:24

about him getting minutes. Cause tell me this, if

30:26

the point is they could have gave him some

30:28

minutes cause it was a 26 point game. Um,

30:32

ain't no, ain't no

30:34

Hallie hive. Nobody cares about

30:36

Tyreese Halliburton. I heard one

30:38

person yet completed Tyreese Halliburton ain't get into

30:40

game. Have you? I haven't heard a single

30:42

peep and it was funny. There was this

30:44

clip of Team USA entering the arena and

30:47

you know, the crowds are cheering for all

30:49

the basketball players they know and Tyreese Halliburton

30:51

walks by and it goes silent. Yes, he

30:53

does. Y'all know he's, he's

30:55

learning. He's learning. Like I used

30:57

to learn or it still happens

30:59

to be like, if I'm somewhere with a

31:01

professional athlete, it is a quick

31:05

lesson in how famous I am not.

31:08

If I am with a professional athlete, I'll

31:10

be taking pictures with my thumb

31:13

and the picture will be of you and

31:16

the professional athlete that I

31:18

happen to be standing here with. That's

31:21

how that's going to work. That's

31:23

how that goes. You get humbled

31:26

and that happened to poor Tyreese Halliburton and he

31:28

seemed to be okay with it, right? He seems

31:30

to be happy to be there, but if your

31:32

argument is they could have found room for Tatum

31:34

cause it was a blowout, I feel like they

31:36

could have found a couple of minutes for the

31:38

homie Halliburton too. Am I wrong here? Am

31:40

I wrong? No, I mean, yeah, I

31:42

think the complaints are super one-sided because he

31:44

just won a ring and it's like, like

31:49

you said, those narratives shouldn't transfer over to

31:51

the Olympic games, but yet that's all that

31:53

happens when you have professional athletes playing in

31:55

these games. Well, think about this for a

31:57

second, right? What if this

31:59

is... in part why they bring

32:01

no Jaylen Brown out here to

32:04

the Olympics. I don't know if you guys saw

32:06

this, but Grant Hill said there was no conspiracy

32:08

theory that he just didn't, you know, they just

32:10

decided to put Derek White on the team and

32:13

Jaylen Brown got on and tweeted during the game

32:15

that Grant Hill called him a conspiracy theorist and

32:18

he was mad about the fact that he

32:20

was called a conspiracy theorist, which I don't

32:22

believe is what Grant Hill said about him.

32:24

And I'm like, Hey man, I don't know

32:27

how important this is to you, but this

32:29

is not boding well for you in 2028

32:31

brother. Like, like, this

32:33

is not the way to do it. Yeah.

32:36

No, no, this is not the way to

32:38

do it. This approach is, is not the

32:40

one that you should

32:43

have. Like I feel very confident telling Jaylen

32:45

Brown that what he is doing right now

32:47

is hustling backwards. But I will tell you

32:49

this, do you remember when

32:53

they announced the women's team and

32:55

one of the arguments that off the

32:57

record was being made in reports was

33:00

that the Olympic team did not put

33:02

Caitlin Clark on being remember at that time, Caitlin Clark

33:04

was not playing nearly as well as she did when

33:06

they went hit their Olympic break. But

33:08

the argument was that one of the arguments was don't

33:11

put her on the team because they don't want to

33:13

have to hear what comes from fans. If she does

33:15

not get to play and people were like, Oh, that's

33:17

a silly argument to have this, you know, silly argument,

33:19

except you're not the one that's got to put up

33:21

with the people. Right. All I'm

33:23

saying is this is what happens

33:26

when Jason Tatum doesn't play. All

33:29

right. In a 26 point win, this is what

33:33

happens when Jason Tatum doesn't

33:35

play. No, nobody wanted to

33:37

have to deal with the one of

33:39

Caitlin Clark doesn't play stress, especially when

33:41

they go be racking up a lot

33:43

of 26 point wins. A

33:46

lot of them. Yeah, I

33:48

see what they were talking about. No

34:01

ad breaks this week so we're going

34:03

right into if you hadn't heard Bo

34:05

got three good stories for you. Let's

34:07

start with this one. In April of

34:09

2023, a new song featuring Drake in

34:11

the weekend began percolating on TikTok, Spotify

34:13

and YouTube. Millions listened

34:15

to Heart on My Sleeve until it was taken

34:18

down days later because what appeared to be a

34:20

collaboration by two of the most popular musicians in

34:22

the world was in fact sung by AI voice

34:24

clones. Since then, excitement

34:26

and terror over music generating AI have

34:28

escalated. YouTube, TikTok and Meta

34:31

all have AI generated music and audio

34:33

experiments, and two startups, Udeo and Suno,

34:36

have garnered perhaps the most attention and

34:38

scrutiny in the space, including lawsuits for

34:40

major music publishers. Artists

34:43

including Will.i.am have described AI as ushering

34:45

in a renaissance, while others fear that

34:47

the technology will replace a fundamentally human

34:49

drive to make art. But

34:51

there's a lot more to making a song than just

34:53

making it sound good. There are

34:56

complex decisions, personal experiences and a person's

34:58

embodied voice and performance that matter much

35:00

more than an MP3 file. If

35:03

anything, according to musicians and researchers I spoke to,

35:05

AI is good at recreating

35:07

sounds, but not bending the rules to

35:09

make new ones, which is exactly what

35:12

makes sensational songs and era-defining genres. Plus,

35:15

fears that a new technology will upend the

35:17

nature of music long put AI. People

35:20

said similar things about phonographs, national radio

35:22

networks and autotune, but those didn't change

35:24

the nature of music, so much has

35:26

caused musicians to adapt. Even

35:29

algorithmic music is centuries old, from pieces in

35:31

the 1700s that used rolls of dice to

35:35

randomly assort songs, or John Cage

35:37

using the E-Ching to randomly compose music in

35:39

the 1900s. Now that

35:42

doesn't mean there's nothing to be worried about. Phonographs

35:44

did, after all, in the short term, put a

35:46

lot of live musicians out of work. And

35:49

today's fear is not that AI music

35:51

startups like Udeo and Suno will replace

35:53

human art itself, or change the

35:56

nature of music, but that their products will

35:58

make music and art faster. creating a

36:00

way with the jobs of sound engineers, for

36:02

instance, or those who compose background music, and

36:05

that those AI tools were trained on a

36:07

work of the same thread musicians without their

36:09

permission. AI then doesn't pose

36:12

a threat to human creativity so much as

36:14

to human jobs. Is that a

36:16

question of aesthetics so much as a question of

36:18

labor? Yeah, well, I think there

36:20

is a labor argument to be made that

36:22

there'll be certain tasks that the computers or

36:24

whatever are able to do. Like I get

36:27

that. But I think that we

36:29

were tapping into a much more important question,

36:31

which is why it is that people make

36:33

music in the first place. And I would

36:35

argue that people primarily throughout history have made

36:37

music because they wanted to be heard or

36:39

because they had something in them that they

36:41

themselves wanted to hear. Do you realize how

36:43

badly somebody had to want

36:46

it to make the first

36:48

pipe organ? Right? Like

36:50

for somebody to say to themselves that, you know

36:52

what I'm saying? And all the work he took

36:54

to calibrate it and you know, and to tune

36:57

it and to scale it and get all this

36:59

stuff done to make it as to what it

37:01

is. But the idea that people had these sounds

37:03

in their heads and they wanted so badly to

37:05

be able to express them that they

37:07

made the tools that were necessary for the

37:10

expression of whatever this into list thing was

37:12

that was lighting their brains on fire that

37:14

we could do, you know, put a scan

37:16

on their brains and we could see the

37:18

thing lit up in 50 different colors. Right.

37:21

Like think about what the drive was that was necessary for

37:24

you to do that. What's happening in

37:26

part with music, especially because so much of it

37:28

has become commodified and in the name of money

37:30

is that I feel like we

37:33

looking at a lot of people make music

37:35

that don't necessarily love it. And by having

37:37

some difficulty along the way and the ability

37:39

to make the stuff, you whittle out the

37:41

people that really ain't about it. Like are

37:43

you really going to go through all these

37:46

things that you have to do to

37:48

make music if you don't actually love it? It's

37:50

kind of like I say about living in New

37:52

York. Living in New York is not

37:54

for people who like it. It's not for people who really

37:56

like it. It's for people who love it because all the

37:59

trades that you're looking for. you're gonna have to

38:01

make unless your bread is super long.

38:03

All those trades that you are gonna

38:05

have to make, if you don't love

38:07

it, it is simply not worth doing.

38:09

But if you do, ain't nothing else

38:11

gonna hit like that. And so what

38:13

for me becomes the case in listening

38:15

to music and talking to people about

38:17

music, or just even the way that

38:19

people online have conversations about music, is

38:21

it doesn't sound like people who actually

38:23

love music. Like when they start

38:25

talking about the things that they listen to back in the

38:28

day, or what they're into, or how they're rivals, shuffle, whatever,

38:30

the game is now set up to where you

38:33

ain't gotta love it. Like even the way that

38:35

you consume is no longer dictated by love. My

38:37

buddy Roy made the point once on here, he

38:39

said he used to be to get involved in

38:41

a discussion about music, you had to spend $12.

38:44

You had to make an investment, you had

38:46

to have some skin in the game. And

38:49

now so much about music does not require

38:51

having skin in the game. And the AI

38:53

thing is another example of not having skin

38:55

in the game. So Mateo is correct that

38:58

the AI is not gonna be able to

39:00

come up with what the next thing is

39:02

because it doesn't think that way, it works

39:04

off of what's already been done. My question

39:07

is however, who is giving a fuck about

39:09

what the next thing is? Because

39:11

there's no reason why we're hitting hip hop 50 and

39:14

this is still such a dominant art

39:16

form in this society. The new thing

39:19

should have been come by now and

39:21

it hasn't. And we have to ask

39:23

ourselves why. Yeah, I think it's like

39:26

you said, music shouldn't be easy to

39:28

make. And now people are

39:30

looking for easy ways to make the thing

39:32

that took years or

39:34

generations to make. I always

39:36

go back to like, your favorite

39:39

movie Amadeus and how Mozart broke

39:41

the rules. He broke

39:43

the rules of what people thought music was

39:45

for decades, centuries. And I don't think there

39:47

is that anymore. No one's trying to break

39:49

the rules. Everyone's trying to stay within the

39:52

box of what's been created. Everybody

39:54

thinks they know what works. They

39:57

got, we got all this data to tell.

40:00

you what works and you can't find out the

40:02

thing that's outside the sample unless you try it

40:04

but you got all this data to tell you

40:06

not to. We'll see. We'll see

40:09

how many more Drake AI versions we'll get

40:11

in the next couple months because yuck. Yep.

40:14

Alright, here we go. Next track. I'm

40:17

Anna Olchek. I report on trends in

40:19

business and tech at Business Insider and

40:22

I'm here to talk with you about

40:24

why there's a surge in American seeking

40:26

secondary passports. I

40:28

recently spoke with Henley & Partners, a global

40:31

firm that helps people acquire citizenships

40:33

from other countries. They

40:35

told me there's a big uptick in

40:37

demand from American clients. The

40:40

firm saw a 125% increase in applications

40:42

in the first quarter of 2024 and

40:44

that number increased

40:47

again by 86% in the second quarter. The

40:51

manager of Henley & Partners New York

40:53

office, Judy Gaust, told me a primary

40:55

reason for the increase is political instability.

40:58

She said that clients from both sides

41:00

of the political spectrum are worried about

41:02

the upcoming election results. The

41:05

other big reason Americans are looking for

41:07

an escape is the rise in anti-Semitism.

41:11

My reporting with Business Insider highlights the

41:13

story of a New York family who

41:15

just finished their application process for a

41:17

secondary passport in Antigua. The

41:20

father I spoke with grew up listening to stories

41:23

about the Holocaust and now he

41:25

fears that Jews are back in the same place

41:27

they were pre-World War II. He

41:30

said he's afraid of political extremism on

41:32

both sides and feels intimidated by

41:34

what he called a mob mentality of protests

41:36

in New York City. He

41:39

also mentioned it's becoming more common in

41:41

the Jewish community. Several

41:44

of his Jewish friends and acquaintances are

41:46

getting secondary passports to Portugal, which

41:48

is another common location. It's

41:51

not all doomsday scenarios. Some people

41:53

are looking for retirement homes or

41:55

to diversify their assets. But

41:58

many Americans feel they need a backup. up

42:00

plan in this political climate. I'm

42:02

just going to make this point right here because

42:04

I ain't advising nobody to move to no other

42:07

country, all of this stuff, whatever it is, right?

42:10

I will just simply say I find it

42:12

very interesting that we refer

42:14

to the people who come to our country

42:17

as immigrants and we refer to ourselves when

42:19

we leave this country as expats. You

42:22

a immigrant, dog, and it's okay that

42:24

you an immigrant. I'm just making the

42:26

point that people

42:28

leave their home countries all

42:31

of the time. We

42:33

just live in the country that

42:35

gets the people who leave their

42:37

home countries all of the

42:39

time. Like I don't, I would assume

42:41

that no other country has kind of

42:43

the inflow to outflow ratio as it

42:46

relates to immigration is this one. Like even

42:48

somewhere, it's called it like the UK where

42:50

a lot of people immigrate to go there,

42:53

but I imagine also just because of the nature

42:55

of how Europe is, a lot of people also

42:57

leave to like go to other places, you know,

42:59

for a number of reasons, but all

43:01

the things that go down in other countries and

43:03

all those circumstances that leave people to look up

43:05

and be like, you know what? I

43:07

don't think this is working for me

43:10

here. All of them can possibly happen in your own country.

43:12

I just kind of felt for the longest that this wouldn't

43:14

be that kind of place or at the very least that's

43:17

not what the branding of the place is. And so people

43:19

don't see it that way, but no, all that stuff can

43:21

happen to you at the crib and a

43:23

lot of people are looking around and they

43:25

say to themselves, Hey man, I don't really

43:27

so much know how this thing is going

43:30

to go. And they putting in

43:32

their paperwork in these places. And

43:34

I can't say I don't understand what they're talking

43:37

about. And I don't think that is the

43:39

meanest thing in the world to say, because once

43:41

again, people from other countries do it all

43:43

the time. Like Sean, I don't,

43:45

I don't think, I don't think your people are

43:48

originally from New Jersey, like

43:50

from the soil. Yeah. My

43:53

parents, 1.5 generation is what the Korean

43:55

community calls it. You know, like they

43:57

came here early enough that they are

43:59

citizens. but they have the

44:02

culture of Korean born and raised. I

44:04

got brought up the expat immigrant thing.

44:07

It's so funny to me that those

44:09

are pretty much the same words, but

44:11

there's different connotations between different cultures of

44:14

those words. You know, yes,

44:16

some look bad. Some things are

44:19

things we say about other people. That's

44:21

just that's just what it is. Some

44:24

things are not about ourselves. All right.

44:26

Here's the last clip. Hey, this is

44:28

Peter Kafka from Business Insider. And I

44:30

recently wrote about Apple's Apple TV plus

44:32

streaming service, which makes a lot of

44:34

good TV shows that a few people watch. It's

44:37

been in business for five years and it's

44:39

had one breakout success. That's Ted Lasso. It

44:42

also makes movies that don't make any money. The most

44:44

recent one is Fly Me to the Moon, which came

44:46

out a few weeks ago and did really no business

44:48

at all. And so the

44:50

question I always ask Apple and people who know Apple is,

44:53

why is Apple running a streaming service? It's

44:56

spending billions of dollars on this stuff, but that's

44:58

still much less than its competitors. And it's got

45:00

a fraction of its competitors' audiences. The

45:03

common argument you hear from people is that Apple does

45:05

this because it thinks having a service with high quality

45:08

shows and movies enhances the Apple brand

45:10

and that gets people to buy more stuff from

45:12

Apple. But again, it's hard

45:14

to enhance your brand with a streaming service. If

45:16

no one has ever watched the stuff on the

45:19

streaming service. Now, maybe tellingly,

45:21

it looks like Apple is starting to ask

45:23

that question itself. It's at least trying to

45:25

get the services to stop spending wildly all

45:27

the time. For instance, Severance,

45:29

a dystopian office workplace show, is

45:32

going to cost an astonishing $20 million

45:35

an episode for its second season. That's

45:38

what HBO spends on a show about dragons and

45:40

there are no dragons in Severance. Now,

45:42

to be clear, Apple can afford to keep doing this forever.

45:44

This is a company that makes $100 billion a year in

45:47

profits. So

45:50

I think it's telling when they say, hey, maybe we

45:52

can tap the brakes on this a bit. Thanks.

45:55

You can read the whole article at Business Insider.

45:58

So let's take a moment, Sean, to appreciate. the

46:00

phrase 100 billion dollars

46:02

in profit a year. 100

46:05

billion dollars profit. If

46:13

it was a million, I'd be like, whoa, that's

46:15

a lot. I was just watching something about how

46:17

you can live in Vietnam on $950 a month.

46:21

All right, I know this is clearly

46:23

not an apples to oranges comparison, but

46:25

just think about what I just said

46:27

here, 100 billion dollars a month in

46:30

profit, where they're like, yeah, we can

46:32

make movies that nobody, like, you know

46:34

what they are? Apple treat

46:37

its movie situation like David

46:39

Lillard treat rap. I

46:42

just enjoy doing it. Sure, I'll pay for some

46:44

beats, do all this stuff to make it happen.

46:46

What else am I gonna do with all this

46:48

money? Oh, it's like, it's out of pocket, it's

46:51

a hobby. It's no big deal, you know. Just

46:53

something to throw around, you know what it is?

46:55

It's cool, like in the end,

46:57

fundamentally, it's cool. Now, I also think it's entirely

46:59

possible that there's something to it for Apple or

47:01

even Amazon, you know, and the stuff that they're

47:03

doing. And if you think that

47:06

somehow the existing studios are going to have trouble

47:08

later and that you'll be the only person that

47:10

still has the money to fill the void, like

47:12

how many years down the line are you willing

47:15

to spend this money for that reason if you

47:17

make 100 billion dollars in profit? Like just the

47:19

thought that one day you're gonna look up and

47:21

like MGM's gonna be for sale or something like

47:24

that. And then you decide to be the people

47:26

to wrap it all up. I don't know, but

47:28

I do know, as he said, I ain't never

47:30

watched none of them things. I ain't watched Ted

47:32

Lasso neither. I ain't never watched none of them

47:35

shows and people don't come up with. It's funny

47:37

for me, because I actually do like a lot

47:39

of the content on Apple, Severance being one of

47:41

them, Ted Lasso, Slow Horses is great, the presumed

47:43

innocent. But it's like, they don't do any marketing.

47:46

They hire these

47:48

prestige actors on insane

47:50

budgets. And then you find out like

47:53

two months after the show and

47:55

then you're missing out on this

47:57

cultural Game of Thrones moment

47:59

that HBO. Yogets or or whatever

48:01

because no one's watching the same stuff anymore.

48:03

There's just too much shit going on Yeah,

48:05

I mean I heard everything you were saying. I was like I

48:08

ain't never heard Right any

48:10

of those yeah is that you're talking about Alright

48:19

both following the conversation with Dominique

48:21

last week's Fox with Friday the

48:23

time you Trash talked or

48:25

been trash talked in the game or

48:27

a sport by whether you were

48:29

a younger person Or you were

48:32

the old person trash talking a youth Got

48:35

some entertaining answers for sure. Hey,

48:37

what up, bro? It's Julie in DC

48:39

so I'm here to call about some trash

48:41

talk from the older relative. So

48:44

I went to fam you Got there

48:46

freshly 17 just legit

48:49

learn to play space and like the first couple

48:51

of months. Oh shit It's pretty fun. So

48:53

I go back home for a winner and

48:55

I'm playing some my kid in West Virginia And

48:58

my old uncle says to me. Oh

49:00

this my fucker. Thank you. Not a place face He

49:03

got a dick the size of a click but now he

49:05

wants to go to the table the big boys and I'm

49:07

like Okay, okay.

49:10

Watch me beat your ass ran boss in

49:12

the first day. He was right. He was

49:15

right Oh Wow,

49:18

I was waiting for something else from him Wow,

49:21

that's that's how West Virginia gets down, huh? Okay

49:24

Whoo, it's funny too cuz I for the audience. I

49:27

asked Bo I was like, do you think this clip

49:29

would be okay? It's like yeah, let's just play it

49:31

and it certainly was ended up being funny Well specifically

49:33

because you know, I like to hear these for the

49:35

first time with everybody else He's a bit the word

49:37

clip would be appropriate. I was like, yeah, yeah, go

49:40

ahead with it It never dawned on me that the

49:42

context would be in a game of spades. I'll

49:44

be honest with you I didn't know what the

49:46

contents could possibly be but here we are. Here's

49:48

the next one. Hey, what's that nimble? This

49:51

is late California

49:53

hopefully my dad's listening talking

49:56

about trash talk between me

49:58

and him in the game So

50:01

growing up, my dad was a Madden king, and

50:03

he was the type that would beat me 100 to He

50:07

was a character building kind of fella.

50:10

And so eventually that had to come to

50:13

an end. When I was about 12 or

50:15

13, I started hanging. I'm beating grown men and

50:17

Madden. Well, unfortunately for

50:19

him, one of those grown men had

50:21

to be him. And we

50:24

didn't talk disrespect smack. But

50:26

let me tell you, my dad has probably told me

50:28

the words shut up only

50:31

about three times in my life. And

50:33

one of them was there in a game in

50:35

Madden. Because I completed a nasty

50:38

comeback and started winning,

50:40

you know, first half, it was all rainbows

50:43

and butterflies. But that third quarter,

50:45

he started getting quiet. I started talking a little

50:47

bit more. And that

50:49

fourth quarter, when I started completing my comeback,

50:52

my dad hit me with a shut

50:54

up. And I'll tell

50:56

you, the piercing of

50:59

that shut up damn near

51:01

may cost me the game. But

51:03

I pulled off the doves. But after

51:05

that, I learned, OK, this trash talk don't

51:08

necessarily work both ways. All

51:10

right, both. There

51:13

seem to be an implicit or else.

51:15

Yeah, a heavy, a heavy or else.

51:17

Yes, like implied or shut up. I

51:20

still your pops. It's still your pops. All

51:22

right. Who's our last

51:24

one? You don't know. Long time listener. Breeded

51:28

five stars because I'm not a heater. Also,

51:31

in answer to what was that?

51:33

I think it was I guess

51:35

yesterday or yesterday's probably by the

51:37

time you get this question. What

51:39

was the time when an older

51:41

person talked trash to me and

51:44

I was too young to understand that the year

51:47

was 1996. I know that might not be far

51:49

away for you. But for me, I was five

51:52

years old. The game was in

51:55

a sublet and it didn't

51:57

really require that much skill play, but I

51:59

was kind good at it. And

52:01

this is me in the FSC of figuring

52:03

out that the Cowboys were a good team.

52:07

And I'm a Dyer Cowboys fan.

52:09

And I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

52:11

So you understand how that works.

52:15

And I heard things

52:18

being said after I

52:20

think I was up 14 that

52:22

I had never heard

52:24

before. This was my uncle,

52:27

by the way, a man who had

52:29

watched me growing up and

52:31

knew I was a Cowboys

52:33

fan, just talking cash trash

52:35

about how Troy Aikman

52:37

was a bitch. And

52:39

he hated Michael Ervin. This is the first

52:42

time I figured out Michael Ervin did coke,

52:44

but that's how I digress. That's

52:46

all. Keep up with the good work.

52:49

That was the first time that I

52:51

learned Michael Ervin did cocaine. That old

52:53

man decided he was going to let

52:55

you know right then and there, like

52:57

nothing was hard. Nothing was off guard.

53:00

Wow. What a time shot. What

53:02

a time. But ladies and gentlemen, thanks
