Hello, welcome to the Whoop Collective podcast. We talked about the NBA, which we're doing

0:11.0

on Saturday. No, it's not Saturday. On Sunday evening and afternoon. Joining me from London,

0:20.0

England, you know, I just want you to know something, McMahon. I was ready to not do this

0:24.7

this week, but Bontemps said we got to do it. And so I always listen to Bontemps. I never, never

0:30.7

question them. So here we are. Joining us from London, England is Tim Bontemps. You didn't say

0:37.2

where you were, Brian. Yeah, we got to give the people what they want, which is the bot. So

First of all, to the pod. All right. Jackson's joining us from Connecticut. Thank you very much.

1:47.2

Okay. So we have a slow period here in the NBA. A lot of people are in vacation, like Bontem Sennheye,
