| 0:00.0 | So for you, I'm curious, because what, your first, with your first TV game last Christmas, Miami game? Oh, wow, you remember that? See, I'm tapped in. You are. My dog. So it's been an interesting arc for me. That was not my first, but it was probably like the biggest one. But that game actually ended up being terrible too. Yeah, it wasn't great. |
| 0:22.1 | Yeah, I don't know about NBA TV so much anymore. We'll see what happens. I'm open. I'm doing some with us this upcoming season in February. So do you like radio more? I just think radio's so pure. You take away all the extra stuff. And I get it. Like the TV, the money's better in TV, blah, wah, wop, all that. |
| 0:38.9 | But, like, Tyler and I better, TV, blah, wah, blah, all that. |
| 0:38.9 | But, like, Tyler and I |
| 0:40.0 | really lucked up in, like, broadcast sort of soulmates. We have so much fun. We're on the same page. Like, the chemistry was instant from, like, the beginning. I just, I really enjoy where I am. And this run that y'all are on. So we'll see what happens. |
| 0:51.7 | I even like national radio, though, too. |
| 0:53.1 | I just think radio is so pure. |
| 0:54.3 | Do you think that you would be in this line of work? that y'all are on. So we'll see what happens. I even like national radio, though, too. I just think radio is so pure. |
| 1:12.6 | Do you think that you would be in this line of work for a long period of time? Or do you ever think about, like, coaching or do you ever think getting back on that side of basketball? I think about coaching, like, if we decide to start a family, like that, like being a part of the kid's life in that way. But like going to coach collegiately or like no some seats get too high and it's too much going on pass hard pass |
| 1:20.2 | i think so what if it was georgetown nah mm-mm well i'll pull up and be a loud, rowdy fan. |
| 1:28.4 | But no, not like coaching. |
| 1:30.2 | I think if I was going to coach, it would be like AAU high school level, and that would be it. |
| 1:34.8 | I feel you can teach more with that level, too. |
| 1:36.6 | I feel like... |
| 1:37.0 | And I still have fun. |
| 1:38.3 | All you get the more asses. |
| 1:43.6 | Because what, high school A.U, like, that was like the last time it was just, basketball was just fun. Like, not that it's not fun, but it was like. You're not playing for that.

| 2:01.2 | You're just out there hooping with your friends and then you like... I mean, back, it's probably different now, though. Social probably has made it very different. Yeah, I agree. Especially with NIL and... Yeah. I just, to me, those were not only the formative years in terms of your basketball career, but like my bridesmaids were my AAU teammates. |
| 2:19.0 | Like that's when I met like my closest friends to this day. So what team did you play? Homemade name. My home girl's dad started our organization. Ball skills. One more time.
