| 1:26.3 | yeah we're talking about Reggie's Island. |
| 1:28.0 | Today's episode, I want to talk about the players on the team that are playing right now that will have a role on next year's team. Because right now, we're not seeing Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, Derek Lively, not playing. The 2026 first round pick, we don't even know who's going to be yet.
