Hello and welcome to group chat. I am Justin Barrier and joining me, Rob Mahoney, Jay Kyle, man.

Rob, did you have a nice quiet weekend with the kids, uh, go to the park or anything?

You know, I did. It was a great time for the whole family. Uh, it's just nice to have bits of

information dropped on you at work. Revelations about your own life,

including the fact that I'm a father. And I've been waiting for the two of you to congratulate

me. So thank you. How many texts did you get about that? It was a lot. Many people we work with.

It brought out people from the woodwork of all aspects of my life in ways I never could have

anticipated. So thank you to

everyone who reached out. Honestly, it's been a, it's been a very fun couple of days. I was kind of hoping good points you make either. It's always something like that. That's always when you get a bunch of texts. It's never like, hey, that was good. It's always like, what? Yeah. Sorry, Justin. I was going to say, it's just, I was hoping that, like, Bill knew something that we didn't, right? That you actually do have kids that you've been shielding from us,

specifically. I was going to say it's just I was hoping that Bill knew something that we didn't, right? That you actually do have kids that you've been shielding from us specifically so we won't bring him up on the podcast. Yeah, I'm actually expecting junior style. Like I am planning to give birth myself. I was waiting to tell you guys at the right time, but this is it. You know, I am pregnant with meaning here in the playoffs. I'm very excited to talk basketball with you both, and I'm excited to be a dad. Well, Kyle, you are a man of children. What did you do this? Child. Okay. You can't be calling someone a man of children. That's not what you want. No. No. Children of men? You know, I just, I watched a lot of basketball.

It's balancing, you know, there's a lot of bike riding.

I think Sundays are harder work now than ever, because you got to wear people out,

which ends up being good for you.

But yeah, so, but it didn't stop me from grinding the tape.

We were in there.

Did you get any shots up, like our guy, Bernie Sanders? His mechanics, I mean, if you put us side by side and voted, like, who has the most, you know, like, prototypical, you know, what you would, you know, aspire to. He had a nice, like, sort of 50-60s rec league set shot. I thought Bernie was getting buckets.

That was uncut.

Look good.

Completely.

I would love to see some early like intramural foot.

I guess that's impossible because cameras literally didn't exist when Bernie Sanders

was playing intramural basketball.
