The podcast is stacked for you today. I was at game three last night. Seltz up to one,

0:15.1

some thoughts on game three. David Griffin from the Pelicans. The future of this organization,

0:20.1

the terms of things around and the future that includes Zion Williamson. And David

0:24.5

Faber, CNBC, we're going to talk finance just a bunch of stuff. And, you know, how's your

0:28.8

401K doing kid and life advice. Game three in the books. I was in attendance and we now

0:35.5

have an unprecedented personal warrior's finals record of zero and three. So like I said,

0:40.4

the Celtics should have me on a private jet to every one of these games. But back in LA,

1:32.9

the perimeter defenders and the lack of resistance at the rim had Golden State scrambling.

1:37.8

Golden States. Lead was two zero. And then it was pretty much all boss. And even though

1:42.7

the end of the first quarter was, you know, double digits, fell a little bit closer

1:45.1

with 33, 22. Uh, but that felt like kind of the story. 68 points in the first half by

1:50.6

Boston's offense and plus 10 in the boards at halftime. They were plus 10, I think like
