0:00.0	Welcome to Jastown podcast, part of the Cavs Media family. I'm your host, Justin Rowan.

0:29.4	at FubotTV.com slash calves. We have got very little Cavs since we last podcast because it was
0:35.8	the All-Star weekend. It was fun seeing Jalen Tyson in the Rising Stars game. Donovan Mitchell wasn't able to advance in the three-point shootout. And, you know, the final game, a lot of fun. Didn't always follow the format. But you know what? We at least got to see Donovan Mitchell out there. He was stuck with the
0:54.3	old's. That's going to be my excuse for why he didn't win. Joining me today is a fellow old. Carter
0:59.8	Rodriguez, Carter, how you doing, buddy? Doing well, fellow old. I got to say, first takeaway,
1:06.9	free Donnie. Why are we going like nine straight minutes without him on the floor as you can
1:12.6	literally hear the bones creaking of his team as the game gets away? Like of all the people that
1:19.8	probably on that team wanted to actually be out there and playing a substantial amount,
1:24.6	I just, I need a more Donnie. And I, I, I mean, man, especially at a time
1:29.8	where the calves were so much fun heading into the All-Star break. And I just want to see more
1:35.7	Cleveland Cavaliers on my screen. And we have a couple of them competing. And I don't get enough
1:41.6	over this weekend. Now, now I have to wait all the way until
1:45.0	Wednesday. It's, it's exhausting. I thought All-Star weekend was pretty fun, though. I always think
1:51.0	it's pretty fun, Justin. It's fine. It is fine. My biggest gripe is that they keep making too many
1:59.1	changes to the format. I think the mini tournament
2:01.3	thing is great. But I think the NBA sometimes is just a little too receptive to feedback and
2:07.9	they're willing to change everything. And when you're willing to change everything because of
2:11.6	discourse, it just invites more discourse. It's like letting your kids... It's the discourse league.
2:17.9	It's like letting your kids pick what they want for dinner. It's like letting your kids pick what they want for dinner every single night.
2:22.6	Like you think that's cool. You think it's going to get people to like you more.
