Share your story with Kobe. I want to know the Kobe Bryant stuff. Because I, you know,

you know, Kobe and I, you know, we had a, oh, we had a. Oh, you interviewed him.

Yeah, we have a very, very good relationship. It was a devastating day for us when we, when, when, when it happened. And, you know, he was, he's one of a kindman. I mean, I'm a, you know, I'm a, I'm a die hard, die hard, Kobe fan and what he did.

So, but what's your story with Kobe?

He was, he did. So, but what's your story with Kobe? He was one of a kind, bro. And I'm going to lie. I mean, he was when he was coming out of high school, because that's when I first got a chance to meet him, when he was actually a high school senior. And another true story. I did not think he was going to be as good as, because he was very good in high school.

But I was always like, ah, his jump shot isn't quite there.

And I'm thinking like, you're going to the NBA, like shows how much I know about freaking basketball.

Because also, you can never measure someone's work ethic.

Yeah, that's he is in Laura Marin.

So that was the Kobe that I got a first chance, got a chance to meet.

His cousin slash friend, he said he was his cousin.

I think that's right.

Played for my high school team.

And he was like, listen, you know, Bean and I are going out to a movie.

You want to come out?

I was like, yeah, of course.

So I'm a high school senior.

Cobb's a high school senior and our buddy's high school senior.

We go out to a movie, go buy our movie tickets, sitting there getting popcorn.

And this was, I'm trying to remember if he had just declared for the draft,

or he was right before he declared for the draft.

But Kobe was the thing in, you know, the suburbs of Philadelphia and everywhere else, but, you know.
