We're back. We're back. It's a dead guest. I'm through and it's raw. It's you and me only this week, Raw. That you doing.

0:20.8

I'm good, man. How are you? Oh, I just, I couldn't be better. It's five million degrees outside, ball-sickingly hot. We're going to step outside and everything will be drenched within eight milliseconds. It's going to be great. Can't beat it. Can't beat it. We're still in pollen season here, which is cool, because you're getting like little bits of allergen just landing on your shit

0:40.8

every moment that you're outside. Either way, it's great. I'm glad that we're recording indoors today as opposed to usually where we do it in the middle of an orchard.

0:48.9

Yeah, my wife who always gets allergies in fall and spring, at one point, she was like, I think the pollen's done. I was like, famous last word. And she was like, no, no, no. And then she was like, at chew, chew, chew, chew, chew. Yeah, we did, we tried to be, like, sophisticated adults during the long weekend. We went to, like, a little euro style bar and and we're like sitting outside,

1:11.1

which I seldom do.

1:12.1

Very nice, like sophisticated little glasses

1:14.5

and like little fucking nubs

1:16.2

of like yellow wads of sneeze material

1:19.0

like from trees just kept landing in our shit.

1:21.9

I had to keep picking it out of my drink.

1:23.8

It was a really nice reminder that

1:25.0

everything is unlivable

1:27.4

when you get to a certain age. I get like a film of it on my car. Yeah. Yeah. I'll park on the street. So I'll walk outside and it'll just be like my car will net. My car is red, but in the spring it's yellow. That's terrible. That's like classic. So that's a very easily accessible suburban sense memory for me. They're like, oh, this is probably really bad. Anyway, I'll just go on breathing it in. And hopefully cross-country practice will go well. I'm convinced my wife gave me allergies because I never had allergies before I got married. And then I got married. And my wife, who has allergies. That's part of being in a relationship, though. I think that's beautiful that you guys can share that. Like sympathy allergies. That's the same way that she now like screams about Stefan Diggs around the dinner table for no reason? She does not do that. But that would be a fair trade. But I'll be like, my eyes are a little itchy. She's like, you got allergies, just like me. You're one of us now.

2:18.5

That's right.

2:19.9

That's exactly how it comes.

2:24.8

By the time this post, the NBA finals will start tonight.

2:30.9

It is actually yesterday, but they're going to start tonight with the Raptors, the upstart Raptors, who won four in a row to shut down the bucks, going against the Golden State Warriors, who will still be without Kevin Durant, at least for games one and two. And I believe, Roth, for the entire series, I don't think Kevin Durant is coming back to you. I would be surprised if he did. Not because I think he, like, doesn't want to or, like, whatever. It seemed like a bad injury and the idea that you somehow just like shake it off in half the usual time because it's the finals.

2:54.5

I don't know. want to or like whatever. It seemed like a bad injury and the idea that you somehow just like

2:51.3

shake it off in half the usual time because it's the finals. I don't know. I think there's still a

2:56.0

chance that Boogie Cousins plays, which would be interesting. But yeah, I'm not expecting Durant.

3:01.7

Also, I agree. I think Durant is too injured to play. I don't think he's like saving himself for

3:05.9

James Dolan. Like as much of a butthead as he can be. I don't think he's like saving himself for James Dolan. Yeah, right.
