A Podcast more or less about Pickleball
00;00;00;02 - 00;00;22;18
Speaker 1
My parents are in town. Yes. Right. So I'm used to alone. And then my dad's always snacking, and there's a lot of chewing noises in the midnight. Cold? Everything's cold. It's always cold. And then my mom and I, she brings Tootsie Roll pops with her like lollipops. As for dessert every night, and she, like she is in. Sucks hanging for for a while.
00;00;22;19 - 00;00;45;25
Speaker 1
Your father hits one of the poles in the garage. Can you believe it?
00;00;45;27 - 00;01;11;04
Speaker 1
Welcome back to another episode of Certified Nasty. I am your host, Matt Menasha, alongside, as always, Jalen Adler, Jalen Brunson, Adler. People say you've been undersized your whole life. That's right. I overcome just like him. But yeah, there's a difference. He overcame you under came I guess what you under came. Look it up and now. And now you're here.
00;01;11;07 - 00;01;15;11

00;01;30;07 - 00;01;34;01
Speaker 2
We do. And you know, I just realized we got a nice Nick orange color here.
00;01;34;02 - 00;01;35;00
Speaker 1
They did that on purpose.
00;01;35;02 - 00;01;35;15
Speaker 2
Makes sense.
00;01;35;17 - 00;01;44;10
Speaker 1
Our crack staff here Patrick Patrick's matching. He's got all pink. He's got a girl dad sweater on. So everything going in your life? Good.
00;01;44;16 - 00;01;53;01
Speaker 2
Honestly, man, like it was. It's been a great few days. I mean, like, it was an early birthday present for me to have the Knicks birthday. Thank you. Thank you very much.
00;01;53;07 - 00;01;54;24
Speaker 1
You said it for senior pro.
00;01;54;29 - 00;01;57;00
Speaker 2
I did. You know I can't wait. I kind of wish.
00;01;57;01 - 00;01;57;22
Speaker 1
I thought.
00;01;57;22 - 00;01;58;06
Speaker 2
You're already.
00;01;58;12 - 00;01;59;10
Speaker 1
I'm 47. Oh, okay.
00;01;59;10 - 00;02;03;00
Speaker 2
Sorry. That's all right. Yeah, I know it's a comment. I know, I know, I know.
00;02;03;00 - 00;02;05;18
Speaker 1
I thought I was thinking this was the big 55.
00;02;05;18 - 00;02;27;09
Speaker 2
Oh no, no, I under came that I am not there yet. Yet I've been dealing with this stuff all my life. It's all good. So they they won. They want like here's the thing, the Spurs. I would be so disappointed if I'm a Spurs fan because they clearly have the better team in terms of talent. Wembley is it for the future?
00;02;27;11 - 00;02;51;07
Speaker 2
Sure. I just think his frickin attitude, man, like he is, he could have been the next Jordan, the next LeBron, the next like in terms of being embraced and be loved by the fact that I think he I think he lost the narrative. I think he has come across like such a dick, such a dirty player. Right. He his PR team better be working 20.
00;02;51;08 - 00;03;03;18
Speaker 1
4/7. Someone's going to go to him after this final and be like, look, it's just was not good for your image. We need to get you back. Like we need to figure this out. Like what he said in the press conference was all horrible. It's like a he tried.
00;03;03;18 - 00;03;12;25
Speaker 2
To people. He had a family kicked out of the Ritz in in New York, apparently. Like they went up to him, said good luck tonight. And they were actually San Antonio fans.
00;03;12;29 - 00;03;13;11
Speaker 1
And he got.
00;03;13;15 - 00;03;34;03
Speaker 2
Kicked out and he had them kicked out. Listen, all I know is he was throwing elbows. He tried. I've never seen somebody he he did the most non basketball move step ever at OG's knee trying to take out his ACL. Right. And he did. And he Brunson he threw him down. So all I'm saying is I actually thought I was kind of a Wembley fan like going in I'm like this guy's amazing.
00;03;34;03 - 00;03;54;00
Speaker 2
He's the face of the league. He's so good. We've never seen a talent like him. His attitude is terrible and they have no closures on their team other than maybe Dylan Harper. Nobody knew how to close. And the Knicks, Brunson stepped up. Had the superstar game he needed to have. I felt like he was good, but this was the game where he really put them.
00;03;54;00 - 00;03;54;21
Speaker 1
On 45.
00;03;54;21 - 00;03;56;18
Speaker 2
Points, right? Most everybody.
00;03;56;20 - 00;03;57;18
Speaker 1
Like a workhorse.
00;03;57;18 - 00;03;58;13
Speaker 2
He's a workhorse.
00;03;58;18 - 00;03;59;27
Speaker 1
And his dad was a pro player.
00;04;00;06 - 00;04;03;04
Speaker 2
That played for the next and was on that team back in like 99.
00;04;03;06 - 00;04;10;29
Speaker 1
And it's amazing that his dad got him into basketball like so early and pushed him as hard as he did. Already being a pro.
00;04;11;00 - 00;04;27;11
Speaker 2
I've always wondered this question about the pushy father versus the laissez faire father, and sometimes it works. Sometimes it depends on that dynamic and how that kid is going to turn out. And I'm sure you've seen it in tennis. I saw it with different sports growing up. Like, I don't want to be a dad. That's like pushing myself.
00;04;27;11 - 00;04;41;00
Speaker 1
Like, I think it depends on your on the kid apparent, like, well, you don't know yet. You don't know, you don't know, you don't know. But either you push your kid and they're not the kid and it doesn't work, or you push their kid and they are the kid and it makes it. But you always need to push your kid, right?
00;04;41;00 - 00;04;41;18
Speaker 1
Someone needs to.
00;04;41;18 - 00;04;55;12
Speaker 2
Push the kid. I am not a psychologist, but I bet you at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. I think you do whatever you want as a parent that kids going to be great or he's not, or she be based on that person's, you know, inside. Right.
00;04;55;14 - 00;05;04;18
Speaker 1
So I was I was watching videos that they were that I saw on Instagram of him working out as like a young kid and running up backwards, up the thing, back.
00;05;04;18 - 00;05;06;03
Speaker 2
And forth, being a good attitude.
00;05;06;04 - 00;05;18;10
Speaker 1
For sure. But I don't think a young kid necessarily knows how to push themselves that hard until someone makes them push that hard. Like, you don't know your limits. You don't know that you can run up. I also.
00;05;18;10 - 00;05;36;13
Speaker 2
Heard I listened to the pod with Drew Baird and Connor Hanson while back on the pickleball, or some giving them a shout out, but they're great tennis players. One was just naturally gifted, and Baird, who never really cared about practicing, never really cared about drilling and just kind of did it. And maybe he started caring later in his teenage years.
00;05;36;13 - 00;05;52;15
Speaker 2
Whereas Hans grew up in a tennis family and just couldn't get enough and worked his ass off. I don't know if Baird would have been better if he was more pushed. I think at the end of the day, you do what your job as a parent, and if you're a good parent and you have a good relationship, you'll find those levels as to when to pull back.
00;05;52;16 - 00;06;07;04
Speaker 2
The relationship that the Brunson's have is clearly unbelievable and special. And even now there was an interview where they're talking about the greatest Knicks, and his dad was like Patrick Ewing, still the greatest. Like he wouldn't even. And Jalen is just sitting there. But like.
00;06;07;10 - 00;06;25;25
Speaker 1
Jaylen, Jaylen seemed so focused on the work and on the process. Like he's not someone I don't think no ego that's gonna celebrate this like a little bit, but not like he's like it's what he expected it to happen because the work he's put in and it's like, all right, now we need to focus on the next. Like, I just think he's a processed guy.
00;06;25;25 - 00;06;36;14
Speaker 1
You don't get that. This was the end goal. Not that it was the end goal, but this was the destination. There's there's still more work to be done. He I think he loves the work more than this. This.
00;06;36;16 - 00;06;37;16
Speaker 2
Oh yeah. The opposite.
00;06;37;16 - 00;06;39;12
Speaker 1
And he loves this chip on his shoulder.
00;06;39;15 - 00;06;44;07
Speaker 2
You know when I was practice we talked about it's like yes, we talk about practice.
00;06;44;13 - 00;06;51;20
Speaker 1
And did you see Stephen A Smith. He went on. So he went on ESPN yesterday. Jalen Brunson and Stephen Stephen Smith. He's like.
00;06;51;22 - 00;07;01;22
Speaker 3
I gotta give an apology on national on national television. And I say it with all sincerity.
00;07;01;25 - 00;07;03;27
Speaker 1
And he's like.
00;07;04;01 - 00;07;09;07
Speaker 3
He's like, I gotta give I gotta give this cat an apology. He you know, I said I didn't believe in him, and now.
00;07;09;07 - 00;07;09;25
Speaker 1
He's whatever.
00;07;09;26 - 00;07;11;04
Speaker 2
And then.
00;07;11;07 - 00;07;13;08
Speaker 1
Just like I did.
00;07;13;10 - 00;07;14;11
Speaker 2
Was he right there in front of him?
00;07;14;11 - 00;07;25;01
Speaker 1
Yes. And he didn't give a shit. No. People. It doesn't seem like they they, they with Stephen a that much because he, he is just like a he's a showman at this point.
00;07;25;03 - 00;07;33;06
Speaker 2
Oh no. Nobody respects him in terms of like actual NBA talent. Right. He's a guy that I think he averaged one point a game in college or something. So it's like.
00;07;33;07 - 00;07;39;21
Speaker 1
But but but you would think like Brunson just one he's on first take like he like barely even looked at Stephen.
00;07;39;26 - 00;07;40;28
Speaker 2
Did he think they did.
00;07;40;28 - 00;07;43;16
Speaker 1
He didn't even nothing which I thought was like really cool.
00;07;43;18 - 00;07;55;02
Speaker 2
He's just so humble so cool. And I think he is a microcosm of what this Knicks team was, which was a collection of of team players that never had a ego.
00;07;55;03 - 00;07;56;02
Speaker 1
Salomé.

Speaker 1
This thing out quite well, might I add.
00;08;56;21 - 00;09;04;11
Speaker 2
Matt, there's a tanning salon just around the corner that we, So. Yeah. Happy about the Knicks, I think. I think they got a good shot to repeat.
00;09;04;12 - 00;09;05;24
Speaker 1
Can we stop talking about the next.
00;09;05;25 - 00;09;06;01
Speaker 2
Yes.
00;09;06;01 - 00;09;12;05
Speaker 1
All right, so of what's going on? My parents are in town. Yes. Right. So, yeah, they're staying with me.
00;09;12;05 - 00;09;12;23
Speaker 2
That's interesting.
00;09;12;24 - 00;09;24;25
Speaker 1
Which is I'm used to alone. And then when you wake up and there's different noises in the house, like chewing. I don't like these noises. Like, maybe it's like I have an issue. I have OCD or something, but like.
00;09;24;27 - 00;09;29;18
Speaker 2
Maybe machine Sound Machine will change your life. Just let that play. And you just hear.
00;09;29;21 - 00;09;30;12
Speaker 1
During the day.
00;09;30;14 - 00;09;32;08
Speaker 2
No. When you're sleeping. Oh, you're talking about.
00;09;32;09 - 00;09;32;21
Speaker 1
I don't.
00;09;32;27 - 00;09;35;12
Speaker 2
During that. You're talking about just sitting around the house. You're hearing.
00;09;35;13 - 00;09;37;16
Speaker 1
Why would I hear chewing when I'm sleeping? I don't.
00;09;37;16 - 00;09;40;10
Speaker 2
Know, maybe they get up early and they're eating breakfast in there. Loud.
00;09;40;10 - 00;09;44;14
Speaker 1
What are you in my ear? That would be, I would hear chewing from, like, a two way.
00;09;44;16 - 00;09;45;17
Speaker 2
So you're just talking about.
00;09;45;18 - 00;09;45;22
Speaker 1
Just.
00;09;45;23 - 00;09;49;24
Speaker 2
Because you ate meals with them, it doesn't mean they're living with you. And that's the thing.
00;09;49;24 - 00;09;51;20
Speaker 1
That's there's there's. Yeah, it's.
00;09;51;23 - 00;09;52;01
Speaker 2
Meals.
00;09;52;01 - 00;10;01;12
Speaker 1
With them. And then my and I eat meals with them. Yeah. And they're always my dad's always snacking. And there's a lot of chewing noises. And midnight. And then when I'm on the, when I'm on the phone I love my parents, by the way.
00;10;01;14 - 00;10;07;22
Speaker 2
With the thought of them not staying with you, like, do you know. Okay, so you're 100%. They're staying.
00;10;07;24 - 00;10;08;28
Speaker 1
We have a guest. Guest?
00;10;09;02 - 00;10;10;05
Speaker 2
I know my parents would never.
00;10;10;08 - 00;10;18;21
Speaker 1
And then of course, they. I need to call the plumbing because something now is wrong with the shower in their mind. And that's something wrong. Oh, it's.
00;10;18;23 - 00;10;20;17
Speaker 2
Remember I was supposed to stay there. Yeah.
00;10;20;18 - 00;10;27;12
Speaker 1
Never got something now. Something. No, they did get fixed. But now they're saying something's wrong with the shower. Now they're saying something's wrong with this thing.
00;10;27;13 - 00;10;28;20
Speaker 2
So are they showering in your shower?
00;10;28;25 - 00;10;29;27
Speaker 1
No they're not. They're still showering.
00;10;29;27 - 00;10;30;28
Speaker 2
They're. They're not showering at all?
00;10;30;29 - 00;10;48;28
Speaker 1
No, not at all. And I brought them. I don't know, it's a lot, you know, there's a lot of noise. They to it as your parents age, they have. Quirks that you really notice and they're stuck in their ways and they're they're not really going to change. And that's okay. You know, you got to restaurants like the first table.
00;10;48;28 - 00;10;53;27
Speaker 1
You're sad. It's never good enough. It's got to be a different table. You need to be in this area. Oh, it's loud in here.
00;10;53;28 - 00;10;54;24
Speaker 2
What about the cold?
00;10;54;24 - 00;10;56;07
Speaker 1
Everything's cold. It's always cold.
00;10;56;07 - 00;10;58;11
Speaker 2
Are you are you having to keep the air?
00;10;58;12 - 00;10;59;18
Speaker 1
Actually, I haven't turned it on.
00;10;59;19 - 00;10;59;26
Speaker 2
Oh.
00;10;59;28 - 00;11;05;22
Speaker 1
So because it's too cold. And then my mom at night. The only annoying thing she does. Because, like, when I. I mean.
00;11;05;25 - 00;11;06;15
Speaker 2
I'm just.
00;11;06;18 - 00;11;14;27
Speaker 1
One of many, but she. She brings Tootsie Roll pops with her like lollipops. As for dessert every night and she like.
00;11;14;27 - 00;11;15;12
Speaker 2
Oh.
00;11;15;15 - 00;11;22;12
Speaker 1
She in sucks. Thank for for a while. And I'm like. And I'm on the phone or I'm watching.
00;11;22;15 - 00;11;24;18
Speaker 2
Do you say something? Yes, mom. That is.
00;11;24;19 - 00;11;25;13
Speaker 1
And she's like, why does.
00;11;25;13 - 00;11;26;21
Speaker 3
It bother you? You shouldn't let it.
00;11;26;21 - 00;11;32;16
Speaker 1
Bother you. I'm like, it's disgusting. Am I? Then my dad laughs. And so it's a little thing.
00;11;32;18 - 00;11;35;16
Speaker 2
That does sound tough because now it sounds like she's purposely tortured.
00;11;35;17 - 00;11;42;24
Speaker 1
Yeah. And then they, they parked in the lot and my garage and then like, your father hits one of the poles in the garage. Can you believe it?
00;11;42;25 - 00;11;46;28
Speaker 2
He actually. Yeah, I figured that would happen. That's why we put the padding up.
00;11;47;01 - 00;11;51;22
Speaker 1
Yeah. No, but it's it's been it's been nice fun. They've been watching me play paddle daily.
00;11;51;22 - 00;11;52;29
Speaker 2
And where are you playing paddle?
00;11;53;01 - 00;11;54;04
Speaker 1
I'm taking them to Jamie Fox's.
00;11;54;04 - 00;11;55;11
Speaker 2
Tomorrow night. Oh, nice. Yeah.
00;11;55;12 - 00;12;02;09
Speaker 1
Wow. My mom's like, do I need to look up movies that he's. I don't know anything about Jamie Fox. And I'm.
00;12;02;09 - 00;12;03;01
Speaker 2

00;12;03;05 - 00;12;07;27
Speaker 1
I'm like, I'm like, he's not. You're not going to go in there. And he's going to be like.
00;12;08;00 - 00;12;10;00

Five movies.

Imagine that. Imagine that. She she spent hours like researching and she doesn't even meet him like. But so you think there's going to be a formal intro, like. Yeah, of course.
00;12;22;00 - 00;12;31;03

00;12;31;05 - 00;12;35;22
Speaker 2
He does not need to be like, I'm a huge fan of you in, you know, in living color.
00;12;35;23 - 00;12;43;17
Speaker 1
My dad wants to talk about a living color. All right. Well, and my dad's like, he's like, do you think that'll annoy him to, like, he doesn't want to revisit old days. And I'm like, he actually loves talking about it. Does he?
00;12;43;18 - 00;12;44;05
Speaker 2
Yes. Okay.
00;12;44;05 - 00;12;46;05

Speaker 2
Oh, if you put me with James, I.
00;13;20;07 - 00;13;21;11

Speaker 2
Dude, that would be amazing. Yeah, I.
00;13;23;05 - 00;13;24;20

Already know him. You played with him.
00;13;24;20 - 00;13;25;14
Speaker 2
And he's a good player.
00;13;25;19 - 00;13;27;27
Speaker 1
You guys are the same skill guitar wise.
00;13;27;28 - 00;13;29;21
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah, same hair length, right?
00;13;29;22 - 00;13;31;00
Speaker 1
Exactly.
00;13;31;03 - 00;13;50;21
Speaker 2
Actually, thinking of hair, by the way. Real quick. And we'll get to the Milky event. But one of our producers, Greg Messina, it was shown to us at our little pre rundown meeting over breakfast. Thank you chef again for breakfast Andy. Andy. Thanks chef Andy. Patrick. So Greg you guys know Greg always had long hair. He got a haircut recently.
00;13;50;23 - 00;13;57;29
Speaker 2
Look at this. And we look at it and it looks like he was in The Princess Bride right. Like it's one of those cuts where it's just it's mushroom.
00;13;58;02 - 00;13;58;20
Speaker 1
It's insane.
00;13;58;26 - 00;14;15;20
Speaker 2
And we're like, this is a joke, right? This is AI. And he's like, no, no. And we're like, is he acting in some movie? He's like, no. Is this what he wanted? No, no. $130 plus tip for what we're going to show you is one of the most ridiculous haircuts ever. And because he's such a sweetheart.
00;14;15;21 - 00;14;16;00
Speaker 1
He didn't.
00;14;16;00 - 00;14;19;24
Speaker 2
Say anything. And he's a, like, a pleaser, right? He just accepted it and tipped the.
00;14;19;24 - 00;14;20;17
Speaker 1
Guy and walked.
00;14;20;17 - 00;14;22;28
Speaker 2
Out as opposed to being like, what the fuck, dude?
00;14;22;28 - 00;14;26;03
Speaker 1
And then he ends up, someone had to have someone come over to his place.
00;14;26;03 - 00;14;28;02
Speaker 2
Right immediately. Right after that.
00;14;28;04 - 00;14;29;20
Speaker 1
The hair can't be seen in publicly.
00;14;29;21 - 00;14;30;25
Speaker 2
Neither 130 bucks.
00;14;30;26 - 00;14;32;13
Speaker 1
Did he have to pay a second time around?
00;14;32;14 - 00;14;33;17
Speaker 2
But he did.
00;14;33;20 - 00;14;34;04
Speaker 1
Or is it like.
00;14;34;05 - 00;14;42;24

Speaker 2
Be a lot of great Griffin club.
00;15;27;00 - 00;15;31;03
Speaker 1
Mookie Betts, obviously the whole bunch there. Yeah is going to be there. His own events.
00;15;31;03 - 00;15;32;15
Speaker 2
Crazy crazy. That's funny.
00;15;32;22 - 00;15;39;07
Speaker 1
He's gonna be on the same core at the whole time, not rotating around. I might be on the same court with Jamie the whole time. Not rotating around.
00;15;39;08 - 00;15;41;05
Speaker 2
Oh, that's kind of a, you know, big.
00;15;41;05 - 00;15;42;29
Speaker 1
Boy people. People want to see Fox.
00;15;43;06 - 00;15;49;00
Speaker 2
Oh, so you're playing with Jamie, correct? Oh, so that's why you've been. That's why you've been going over there so much? Because you want to make sure he's informed.
00;15;49;01 - 00;15;55;22
Speaker 1
Yeah. We're getting lessons in. I want to make sure he's comfortable and ready to go comfortable. You know, you got to take care of your people.
00;15;55;22 - 00;15;59;24
Speaker 2
So I didn't realize you were even playing in it this year because last year you didn't. That's correct. Okay.
00;15;59;26 - 00;16;00;16
Speaker 1
All right. The power.
00;16;00;18 - 00;16;03;21
Speaker 2
Any particular reason? Like don't you want to be emceeing the whole time?
00;16;03;28 - 00;16;11;06
Speaker 1
Doing both. You know I do. I do the intros. I'll be mixed up during. I'll hop on and off. But, it'll be a round robin.
00;16;11;08 - 00;16;12;18
Speaker 2
Everybody plays everybody.
00;16;12;21 - 00;16;30;12
Speaker 1
No, no, no. That would be great. How many teams? 2220, 22. On ten courts. So so so two teams will sit every round. I need to figure out how I want it to do it. We have only an hour and a half ish to play, and then you go into quarter of semis and finals in between the semis and finals, we'll do a little auction because last year people left.
00;16;30;13 - 00;16;30;21
Speaker 2
Yeah, you.
00;16;30;21 - 00;16;33;18
Speaker 1
Got so we'll make sure they stay there.
00;16;33;20 - 00;16;35;13
Speaker 2
In order to enter you must bid.
00;16;35;20 - 00;16;42;14
Speaker 1
And the and the intro is going to be much shorter this year. It's going to be like one line about the celebrity and then it's going.
00;16;42;14 - 00;16;43;07
Speaker 2
To be bowling.
00;16;43;08 - 00;16;45;01
Speaker 1
With pro.
00;16;45;03 - 00;16;53;20
Speaker 2
Yeah. That show last year was insane. When I think about it it took so long, right? I mean, it was fun, but no, no, I'm saying but I'm saying like, that's a smart move.
00;16;53;21 - 00;16;54;09
Speaker 1
Yeah. It's just going.
00;16;54;09 - 00;16;57;15
Speaker 2
To be learn from the like and the parking will be better, I'm sure.
00;16;57;16 - 00;17;04;10
Speaker 1
Lead singer of maroon five, James Valentine, and his pro Jason Arthur. Boom. Done. You know we need 22 of those. And that's it.
00;17;04;12 - 00;17;12;25
Speaker 2
That's it. And we I mean, you can almost already have us all out there and just say boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, literally, instead of the that's going to save you to 20 minutes.
00;17;12;26 - 00;17;15;21
Speaker 1
Yeah, I may do that. We may we may have them all out there.
00;17;15;22 - 00;17;19;12
Speaker 2
I think that's a good idea. And by the way, that sets up a group photo right there too.
00;17;19;14 - 00;17;19;26
Speaker 1
Yes, yes.
00;17;19;27 - 00;17;24;04
Speaker 2
Everybody's already in position for the group photo. Yeah, that took a long time.
00;17;24;06 - 00;17;32;07
Speaker 1
I may so I may have everyone out there, but I need to have them out in the order. That's fine to that. They need to be in so I can read my list.
00;17;32;08 - 00;17;35;11
Speaker 2
Have somebody with the list helping you. I'll help you.
00;17;35;11 - 00;17;35;21
Speaker 1
Yeah.
00;17;35;25 - 00;17;37;09
Speaker 2
I'll help you. I'll get everybody in position.
00;17;37;09 - 00;17;41;09
Speaker 1
Good, good. Call out. Awesome. Yeah. The guy, Mike Mahan, who's a great friend.
00;17;41;10 - 00;17;41;24
Speaker 2
Remember? Mike.
00;17;42;01 - 00;17;43;03
Speaker 1
Mike. Mike. Saman.
00;17;43;03 - 00;17;45;07
Speaker 2
But last with Freeman Davis last year.
00;17;45;09 - 00;17;49;07
Speaker 1
Yes, but last year, Mike ruined the whole parking situation.
00;17;49;07 - 00;17;52;24
Speaker 2
I remember I thought it was toe, but it was. No, it was. He left his Tesla or something and.
00;17;52;27 - 00;17;55;03
Speaker 1
With no one could get in it in front of LA.
00;17;55;04 - 00;17;56;03
Speaker 2
I don't know.
00;17;56;06 - 00;18;01;07
Speaker 1
No one could move. No. No one could move. It was out of control and we couldn't get to him. And like.
00;18;01;08 - 00;18;02;24
Speaker 2
Did he get an invite again this year?
00;18;02;24 - 00;18;07;02
Speaker 1
He almost did last minute, but because we needed to fill. But he did not.
00;18;07;05 - 00;18;09;15
Speaker 2
Said like, yeah, he kind of fucked up the parking lot.
00;18;09;16 - 00;18;12;19
Speaker 1
He fucked up the parking. Tio Tio came a little late but then couldn't park.
00;18;12;20 - 00;18;12;27
Speaker 2
No, no.
00;18;12;28 - 00;18;13;19
Speaker 1
I bet it was later.
00;18;13;19 - 00;18;17;11
Speaker 2
It was a domino effect. All right, so we're going to clean up some of those things.
00;18;17;11 - 00;18;19;13
Speaker 1
And clean up some of them. Be fun and move on.
00;18;19;14 - 00;18;22;08
Speaker 2
I'm excited. Hopefully the weather is good. It is LA. It's going.
00;18;22;08 - 00;18;22;18
Speaker 1
To be great.
00;18;22;19 - 00;18;30;09
Speaker 2
It'll be fine. No I'm excited man. And again, I always appreciate being included in these things. And let's see what else.
00;18;30;10 - 00;18;32;16
Speaker 1
What else do we have to talk about.
00;18;32;18 - 00;18;43;14
Speaker 2
Well I guess we can talk a little bit about pickleball. Good. There was a there was a big trade recently. Columbus got Tyra Black. Yeah. Any thoughts on that?
00;18;43;15 - 00;19;00;23
Speaker 1
Well. And wasn't she injured, though, before this trade? She's, like, taking some time off. Yeah. So is that why Dallas traded for her or traded her away? Do they think she's joined the sliders? I understand, but they they. Dallas took who?
00;19;00;25 - 00;19;02;06
Speaker 2
Zoe and cash.
00;19;02;07 - 00;19;04;14
Speaker 1
Is that right or Danielle. Sorry, Danielle.
00;19;04;16 - 00;19;09;06
Speaker 2
There'll be other trades that come from this because this really kind of shores them up.
00;19;09;09 - 00;19;10;26
Speaker 1
For sure. But who?
00;19;10;27 - 00;19;16;26
Speaker 2
Harrison. Tyra. Well, Columbus. They're better team now. That's a team. That's one gold medal.
00;19;16;28 - 00;19;21;22
Speaker 1
Dallas I'm concerned because Tyra is not playing and she said she's taking some time off.
00;19;21;23 - 00;19;23;29
Speaker 2
So you think the injury is a potential.
00;19;24;01 - 00;19;28;15
Speaker 1
So, yeah, maybe it's a season ender in Dallas. Was like we know that she's not playing.
00;19;28;15 - 00;19;32;04
Speaker 2
On usually like medical exams. Like, you know I don't know.
00;19;32;04 - 00;19;33;13
Speaker 1
How serious.
00;19;33;15 - 00;19;42;08
Speaker 2
In the NFL. Like they go through serious tests. But let's assume she's healthy and going to play shores up their team makes them a real contender. Yes. Do you think?
00;19;42;11 - 00;19;44;23
Speaker 1
Yes. Because who else is on Columbus?
00;19;44;25 - 00;19;53;25
Speaker 2
Andre and CJ yeah it's good. Paris team makes them top three. Yeah for sure. So I don't know. But anyway.
00;19;53;26 - 00;19;58;15
Speaker 1
I'm a mad drops and Palm Beach rolls guy you know dude. Me too. Those are my two teams.
00;19;58;15 - 00;19;59;04
Speaker 2
I know.
00;19;59;06 - 00;20;10;24
Speaker 1
Yeah. So Columbus sliders receive Tyra Black and Dallas Flash receive Danielle Townsend and cash. I mean, people are saying Danielle is kind of the future. She's like, plays like a dude.
00;20;10;24 - 00;20;11;26
Speaker 2
So then it might not be.
00;20;12;03 - 00;20;12;23
Speaker 1
Maybe it's better.
00;20;12;23 - 00;20;16;27
Speaker 2
For injury. It might just be. They really are betting on her potential.
00;20;16;29 - 00;20;18;27
Speaker 1
For sure. Plus a combo of injury.
00;20;18;28 - 00;20;19;07
Speaker 2
And.
00;20;19;07 - 00;20;19;25
Speaker 1
Maybe.
00;20;19;28 - 00;20;24;11
Speaker 2
Yeah, maybe she's not ready to hit the ground right away and they want to get quick results. Who knows.
00;20;24;12 - 00;20;29;09
Speaker 1
Yeah MLP is interesting. I mean we're we're mid-season tournament is coming up in July.
