All right, everybody. Just finished recording with a slew of guests. And while that was happening,

0:07.5

a couple of news events happened. The first is absolutely terrifying. And that's that Brony James,

0:14.5

obviously, LeBron's older sons suffered a cardiac arrest one day during a USC workout. It is

0:19.3

in stable condition and out of the ICU. And there's really, it's just absolutely terrifying.

0:28.7

And all you can do is send your good thoughts and your good vibes to Brony and LeBron and Savannah

0:37.1

and their whole family. Because that is real life. All this other stuff that we're talking about

0:43.1

as nonsense, this is real life. And this is a kid who is starting along what is supposed to be

0:52.0

and hopefully still is a very long journey to carving out his own legacy as a basketball player. A kid

who by all accounts, it's not as if I've watched Brony James play a lot is about all the right stuff

1:31.4

to see anything like this. Obviously, it's very, very scary, no matter who it is. And best wishes to

1:36.8

everybody. The second and much less important thing that happened when we were recording is that the

1:40.5

Celtics and Jalen Brown according to Wode have agreed on a Supermax extension,

1:47.4

$304 million over five years. That is the richest contract in NBA history.

1:53.0

According to his agent Jason Gleushan, talking to Wode.

1:57.6

This is a, I've been saying for a month that this deal is coming that do not read anything into

2:03.4

the fact that it hasn't happened yet, that they're just negotiating all the bells and whistles that

2:07.4
