This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Rich man, how was your father's day? Father's Day was great. Super chill. Went to the community pool. Had a nice day. Couldn't be happy. What about you?

but I'm still looking to learn more about this game,

1:18.4

and I still want others to come on this ride with me.

1:21.6

So even if you consider me a best ball bro,

this could be your year.

This could be the year that you officially become a best ball bro.
