Hello, welcome to the collective podcast. We talk about the NBA which we are doing on

Tuesday afternoon. Joining me from Los Angeles, California. She's in the radio station, the

SPN radio. She's about to go on the air. It's very hard to get a hold of the

two people we have on this pot. It takes a lot to make this come together. Thank

you Ramona Shelburne for finding a little bit of time for us.

It's really just for you, Brian.

Like, you ask...

What about Mark J Spears?

Not for Mark J Spears?

And I can find each other all the time. Like you have a

you have trouble finding us. We can find each other at any that's the

mayor. You guys just right. You got a direct line. You're like the mayor of

LA Spears from Manscape is like the mayor of the

entire West Coast. Actually Spears worked in Denver and worked in Boston and

L.A. and like he's got lots of spheres of influence.

Hello Mr. Spears how are you?

I'm just enjoying y'all give me some love man I just I'll just take the love.

So Spears you had an interesting story today that's on the front page of the SPN.

You went to, I think it was the press conference yesterday in San Francisco. They announced that the San Francisco is going to host next years as in 2025 next season's all-star game.

Adam Silver was there for that. And then you had an interesting conversation with him. I don't know if it was before or after the press conference. I wish you could tell us about that conversation because you got him to say something that was pretty interesting.

Yeah, no, you know, we try to do our walking talks after everybody's done, right?

I didn't want to throw much more questions.
