All right, so we're moving to our number three. Nice to have you here. Good afternoon. I am Jim Rome.

Now, I want to say to you that I'm live in Southern California, but you might be watching this or hearing it. And maybe I'm not live. I'm saying it and I'm live. But I want to make that point. All right, so my thanks to Eric Musselman, EP Musk, already on X, quote, thanks for having me on. No, thank you, Musk.

That was by design.

My feeling was, you know what the show needed? muscle men, EP Musk, already on X quote, thanks for having me on. No, thank you, Musk. That was by design.

My feeling was, you know what the show needed. I needed some of that EP must energy, some of that EP must juice. Because when must says, and that also was by design, when I said must, if you're

working 14 to 16 hours a day, that's not unusual to me, especially during the portal, but I know how you are with your workouts. Ever since I've known must, he told me years and years and years and years ago, I work out two hours a day, every single day. Because if I want to go to dinner and have a piece of bread, I want to be able to have a piece of bread. But he does it for a lot of other reasons. But he's always had that regimen. So when he said to me today, and Mus, must is like one month younger than me. No, he's not going to run me. I'm the host. It's just for perspective. I tell the story.

So must is working out two hours a day in the gym seven days a week.

Not even a day, not even one day off.

Not even that on the seventh day, I don't work out because he's never going to rest on

the seventh day knowing must the way I know must.

But on the seventh day, he's still in the gym.

Lifting for an hour, getting cardio in for an hour, but even that's not enough. He's got to walk the

strand because he's back in Cali. And I think that's probably good for his mind. But he's not

going to just walk the strand and tune out. He's going to work his phone.

The guy has no downtime ever. Never seen the guy look better. So must and I go way, way, way back.

Must and I met when we were both 23. And the way we met was I was still in Santa Barbara. I had not

gotten to San Diego yet. Must played college basketball at the University of San Diego.

And of course, the dad was a famous coach, an NBA coach.

And I met Musk because I read about Mus' in Sports Illustrated.

Musk was the 23-year-old general manager and coach of the Rapid City thrillers of the CBA at 23.

And he was a maniac.

Like he was doing, he was turning the roster over every single day.
