How you doing?

I'm doing good, man.

How are, uh, how are you recovering from the, the long West Coast road trip?

Yeah, I'm a little, just got back from a three game and five night road trip.

A little bit, uh, you know, still living out of suitcase, a little bit jet lagged. We are recording this.

Prior to the Sixers game Sunday before the Charlotte Hornets, for context reasons. So I just got back last night. It a fantastic road trip for me personally. I had never been out to that part of the

country. I actually, when I was, before we get into the basketball portion, and we will get

It was a life-changing experience. Like, you sit there and you're like, I can't believe stuff like this actually exists. And I felt the same way going through the Rocky Mountains. And I'm very happy I did that. The one downside is I'm driving. And I'm a amateur photographer at heart. Like I love, I have a DSLR, I have a drone that I use to take pictures. I love
