| 0:00.0 | It's episode 1299, and it's a relevant podcast here in Orlando. |
| 0:10.6 | I'm your host Cameron Strang. |
| 0:11.5 | And joining me from Loverland, Virginia, it's Jesse Carey. |
| 0:14.0 | Hello, hello. |
| 0:15.2 | From Nashville, artist, producer, Mogul, Derek Miner. |
| 0:18.7 | What up, Do? |
| 0:19.7 | Welcome back. |
| 0:20.4 | And just down the street there, our managing editor, downtown Emily Brown. Hey, y'all. Derek, I hate your hat. So just we'll get that out of the way. Wait, what's wrong with that? How can you even tell what it is? Because he pointed it out before we started recording. I had to let him know. I had to let him know. Look, I still believe we, you know, we're down to one. I still record it. By the time they hear this, it'll be there's three one or two, too, exactly. But, hey, look, I still believe. I believe in Cade Icewood. You know what I'm saying? We lit. So it's, you know, we hear. Jalen Duren going to get it together. He's not going to let Wendell Carter Jr. baby him for the rest of the series. So, you know. This podcast is a house divided right now, listeners. It's Tobias Harris's going to hit some more shots. He actually been playing pretty good. He's been doing 20 a game, 19, a game. |
| 1:11.9 | So I like our chances. |
| 1:13.8 | I like our chances. |
| 1:14.2 | I like it because it's like we're watching 80s, 90s basketball where they let them play. |
| 1:19.7 | They get a little chippy, you know. |
| 1:22.9 | Well, the fact that Jalen Duren, the All-Star Center for the Pistons, used to date Angel |
| 1:30.3 | Reese. |
| 1:31.2 | And now Wendell Carter Jr., the Center for the Magic, currently dates Angel Reese. |
| 1:37.4 | And Angel Reese is talking trash on Twitter about Wendell Carter, Jailen Dern just adds a whole other level of chippiness. |
| 1:47.1 | I need that to be the bulletin board. |
| 1:51.0 | Like they need to just put eight. |
| 1:53.8 | Like her, |
| 1:54.2 | her and Winnie Carter Jr. |
| 1:56.3 | Holding hands at like a date or something. |
| 1:59.3 | Just put that on the bulletin board for the pistons. I'm going to be honest. Win this for Jalen? I wasn't tracking with any of these names except for Wendell Carter Jr. And I could not figure out why until you mentioned Angel Reese. And I was like, oh, I've seen their tweets. So now I'm invested because unless the players have dated a Kardashian, I don't really care about any of these players. What's happening with Magic Pistons is like what's happening with Summerhouse. So the drama of a love triangle. Yeah. So there you go with a little fighting and a little basketball thrown in. So it's like summer. I think we need the drama of the triangle offense or something. So we can go ahead and get this done. |
