Hello and welcome to the Modern Maker Podcast. Today is Thursday, January 30th, 2020. Today I'm here

with Bin Ueda from Homemade Modern. I'm Mike Montgomery from Modern Builds and Chris

Salimony from Four Eyes Furniture if you guessed by the fact

that I'm doing the intro is not here again.

Chris is uh he's just busy he just got he texted us and said, hey, can I just skip this one and I got a million things going on?

I think he's trying to get a Kobe Bryant tribute project done.

R.I. Geez. I. I know crazy right? Like it's so weird. I mean

Kobe's always been the player that I most this sort of identified with just because he's he's actually one day younger than me he was born like the day after me

You've mentioned that so yeah he was always a player when he retired. I'm like oh sh like I'm old

Yeah, so yeah it was it that was so surreal you just don't you don't expect him to go before like Bill Russell not at all yeah. Yeah, I know.

And for me, he's like that whole era of Kobe, Derek Fisher, and Shaq.

That was like the era of Lakers that got me interested in basketball, them, and Alan Iverson on the 76ers.

So yeah, it's crazy.

But yeah, the thing people always say, because it's always true, is it just makes you realize time short get everything done tell people how you feel

about them mostly on the good side I hope but yeah yeah it's it's it's just

another one of those things that like a you know no matter

It's just also surprising to that you know people that have sort of the world at their

fingertips when sort of tragedy happens to them.

I think there's this sort of perception that the more successful and famous that you are,

the more you're insulated from hardship and tragedy, but no, not the case.

So we should all just feel grateful for for everything we got

and in every day that's right and keep two feet on the ground yeah helicopters man
