And you're currently watching them battle the all-time greats on the 40th season Survivor Winners at War. He's also a pretty decent hooper, at least according to his Instagram account. It's Wendell Hall and Wendell. What's up, man? Hey, thanks a lot. It's great to be here. I appreciate it. I hoop a little bit. I play survivor a little bit. Yeah, yeah. Well, this is a real treat for us because we obviously do an NBA show we have for over 10 years now. We're diehard NBA fans. We've been blessed to interview Hall of Famers, you know, MVP's, the next generation of stars. We've covered All-Star Weekends. We've been in the locker room for championship teams. And all of that fails in comparison to how excited we are to have on a survivor winner in yourself. I'm dead serious. Like we are Survivor. It literally feels like a Hall of Famer is in here. I know. Oh, man. I know. Like, I've gotten a wedgy from Shaq live on the air, and I couldn't care less. This is way more exciting to us. So we really appreciate it. Again, I appreciate you guys having me. Those are wonderful words of encouragement. I hope I live up to, you know, being you guys' guy out here. But, yeah, it's good to be here. It's good to be back in Atlanta. I went to Morehouse.

1:34.9

Nice.

1:35.3

And so I have a whole lot of college buddies that live down here.

1:38.8

And because for my work, I build and design furniture at Beave Unlimited. I always have a lot of deliveries down here. So I'm down here like three, four times a year. Wow. Yeah. And you live in the Philadelphia area. Yeah. How long is that drive? That can't be a... You know, that's not a couple hours, man. It's not down the street. It's not 39 days. I get that, but that's not short. It took us 14 hours yesterday, but usually it takes us around 11. There was some traffic and some not so wonderful weather. But you got here safe. Well, again, we appreciate you coming in here. I know that you're, so what are you going to be doing besides the delivery this weekend? Just having fun, catching up with friends? Yeah, we have a whole itinerary. We have all the bars we're going to hit. Okay. I try to make sure, because I only come for like three, four days, I want to be able to squeeze in enough eateries because Atlanta has great spots and enough bars and everything. So I always call my buddy Mark and ask him where should we go on each specific night? Tonight's Top Golf.
