Have you ever wondered what a sandwich sounds like?

Not much to it is there?

Unless of course it's a Walker's sandwich.

Mmm, that is good.

Now that's what Asani should sound like.

Go all crisp in with walkers.

Delicious.

That is true.

And, oh, by the way, he may be the only high school interview that we've ever done in the

history of this program way back

in the day. I'm talking about Kevin Love. Kevin, it has been a long minute, actually, since you and I last spoke. What's going on? How are you? Everything's going well, Jim. No, it's great to be back on the show. I was just thinking of that high school interview. I'm not kidding. I'm I'm 37 years old now, 18 years in the league.

I know I'm dating myself, but I'm like, it's been 20 years of coming on the show. Bro. It's incredible. Were you actually? Were you actually just thinking, Kevin? Because if you weren't, I can help you. Alvi, hit it. Yeah, and one more thing. December 15th, my high school team, Lake Oswego, is playing at Pauley Pavilion. So everybody who's listening to be there, and thank you very much for having me, Mr. Rome. Wow. Mr. Rome, isn't that great? I mean, it's not, but it is, right? Hey, my respects. I love it. Mr. Rome. It's so incredible. Time, man. What a poll. That is an amazing poll. That is an amazing poll. And I'm kind of racked my brain, Kevin. I really don't know that we've ever had a high school player on before. Granted, you were the top player in the nation, and you were all the rage. But, man, you were very respectful. Still are. But you really were as a young man. I was raised right. My mom and dad did a great job, but again, it was, you know, I was extremely excited to come on the show. Obviously, I've been a fan and watched you even prior to that. So that was, that was big for me. I'm like, I'm going on the Jim Rome show. This is, this is special. And being in high school, like, those type of things are huge in those moments, right? So, you know, being on a show like that at that age is, it wasn't lost on me. I appreciate you, dude. You actually, you were going on Mr. Rome show, but I appreciate that very much. Kevin loved joining us. Hey, Kevin, it really is amazing. Like, for instance, after spending the last three years with the heat, you were traded to the jazz this summer. And when that trade went down, there's speculation that maybe you might negotiate a buyout because the team's rebuilding, that clearly is not the case. I mean, you don't need to be doing this. Obviously, you love ball and you still have a passion. What is driving you? Why are you still doing this? I still love the game. I mean,

I do believe that especially in the last probably five, maybe six years, you know,

it's my role has changed. I'm very honest with where I'm at in my career. I'm still with

Walker Kessler going down, our franchise center, you know,

playing more minutes now because of that, but still able to impart my wisdom for over 18 years
