Hey there, next fans.

How you doing?

It's your boy, John of the back here with you for another episode of the next film

school podcast.

If you are watching on YouTube, you will draw one of two conclusions right now,

which is that I either do not bathe on a regular basis because I'm wearing the same

clothes I was wearing for the earlier episode or the true outcome, which is that we're recording this right after we record our usual weekly pod.

So I will again say hello to Jeremy Cohen. Hello, sir.

Hello, John. Long time no see. Very long time. And the second second question is as we are about to talk about

the collective bargaining agreement is there any person in the world who could be more in

a wheelhouse than you right now yes but i will suffice. You'll suffice.

I'll do the best I can.

I'm excited to talk about the CBA.

It has some good, it has some good stuff that will potentially affect the next, potentially

not affect the next.

We'll go through that in a moment.

But first, there is something that we did not touch on in the regular episode because we were also saving it for

this show which is i'm going to say the unfortunate matter of the dallas mavericks 2003

first round pick i have a feeling you may disagree with my characterization

of that. But either way, if you maybe you've been paying attention to this thing since

September, maybe or October, maybe you're just coming around to this now. I'll just say

the brief part and then Jeremy's going to pick up with the details.
