I was wearing sneakers. Oh, wow. That changes it, doesn't it? Yes. Not naked. They just tease it from a Florida man. That's all the way.

We need an open. Welcome to PTI, boys and girls in today's episode. Doc Rivers is out. The NBA playoffs are set and Alexander O'Etkin says he has not decided whether he's retiring.
