00:00:00.000 So, two things.
00:00:01.440 You know how the NBA debate is always, well, who's the greatest of all time?
00:00:04.480 LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Kobe, all this stuff that you hear?
00:00:07.860 Okay, so watch what Michael Jordan did on the same day of the NBA All-Star Game,
00:00:13.260 which is the first one I haven't watched since I was 12 years old
00:00:15.600 when I first came to the state.
00:00:17.120 So, this is Michael Jordan's team, okay?
00:00:21.100 Rob, do you have him at the finish line celebrating, doing all that stuff?
00:00:26.620 Okay, when they were celebrating?
00:00:28.580 I have the trophy ceremony.
00:00:30.800 I can find that clip.
00:00:31.640 You can play this clip here.
00:00:32.780 So, do you have the clip of the driver winning, or we can't play that clip?
00:00:35.900 I don't know if we can play that.
00:00:37.040 Okay, you can play the celebration.
00:00:39.180 So, yeah, here's Michael Jordan winning.
00:00:43.620 Obviously, guys, he's not driving winning.
00:00:46.100 His team won.
00:00:47.040 Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:48.120 Lane, Michael Jordan has made his way here.
00:00:51.320 Sir, we talked before the race.
00:00:53.220 Four horses in it.
00:00:54.560 You are a Daytona 500 champion.
00:00:56.640 How does that sound?
00:00:57.300 I can't even believe it.
00:01:00.180 I mean, it was so gratifying.
00:01:02.240 I mean, we had four guys that were really fighting, that was helping each other out.
00:01:06.000 I mean, you never know how these races are going to end, right?
00:01:08.580 It's like you just try to survive.
00:01:10.320 And, you know, I thought Riley did an unbelievable job by pushing at the end.
00:01:15.260 You know, that shows you what teamwork can really, really do.
00:01:17.380 I mean, he doesn't get enough credit.
00:01:19.800 He won't get enough credit.
00:01:20.820 But we feel the love.
00:01:22.800 We understand exactly what he did.
00:01:24.400 And, I mean, we just hung in there all day.
00:01:27.120 I mean, great strategy by the team.
00:01:29.860 And we gave ourselves a chance at the end.
00:01:32.040 And, look, I'm ecstatic.
00:01:34.100 I mean, I don't even know what to say.
00:01:35.600 It feels like I won a championship.
00:01:37.160 But until I get my ring, I won't even know.
00:01:40.000 All right.
00:01:40.220 What size ring do you wear?
00:01:41.420 Did you tell me?
00:01:41.840 Size 13.
00:01:42.480 He knows.
00:01:43.580 He knows.
00:01:44.960 Been there, done that.
00:01:46.500 Been there, done that.
00:01:46.540 Been there, done that.
00:01:47.100 By the way.
00:01:47.540 And then go to – so you see the spirit, the energy.
00:01:50.160 And then go to LeBron's interview, Rob, about, you know,
00:01:53.380 says he's unsure, NBA 24th season.
00:01:56.080 Go ahead, Rob.
00:01:57.060 What do you want to do?
00:01:59.600 Yeah, I mean, I want to live.
00:02:02.660 When I know, you guys know.
00:02:04.500 I don't know.
00:02:05.780 I have no idea.
00:02:07.020 I just want to live.
00:02:08.960 That's all.
00:02:09.300 Did he say, I just want to live, Rob?
00:02:14.560 What an inspirational, motivational message.
00:02:17.120 I just want to live.
00:02:17.900 By the way, NBA All-Star was this weekend, and nobody knew about it.
00:02:21.600 And on the weekend, Michael wins the championship.
00:02:24.340 And I told this to a guy yesterday.
00:02:26.960 Do you know when's the last time I wore a Lakers jersey?
00:02:30.280 Day before LeBron went to the Lakers.
00:02:32.780 Day before?
00:02:33.760 Day before LeBron went to the Lakers.
00:02:34.900 That's it.
00:02:35.400 Okay.
00:02:36.060 Now, don't get me wrong.
00:02:36.820 At the house, I'll put on a Kobe jersey.
00:02:39.420 You know, whatever.
00:02:40.620 But the next time you're going to see me wearing a Lakers jersey.
00:02:45.000 The day he's gone?
00:02:45.620 The day he's gone on the podcast, I'm not wearing a suit.
00:02:48.180 I'm wearing a Lakers jersey.
00:02:49.800 The stories that come out about, you know, Jeannie Buss talking about what it was like
00:02:53.800 having him as a superstar and all this other stuff.
00:02:56.680 Anyways, look, credit.
00:02:57.900 Lived a long time.
00:02:58.700 Did what he did.
00:02:59.240 The other day, there was a clip that Austin Rivers caught a rebound, and he was furious
00:03:03.440 saying, what are you doing?
00:03:04.280 Look at the leader's bulletin.
00:03:05.260 I'm about to get a triple-double.
00:03:06.300 Let me get my triple-double.
00:03:07.860 If at this age, after this many years, you care about triple-double, man, we got bigger
00:03:11.740 problems.
00:03:12.660 Adam, your thoughts on this?
00:03:13.780 When Michael Jordan's still in the show.
00:03:15.560 Well, Michael Jordan's the GOAT.
00:03:17.300 And, you know, they say in the famous Ricky Bobby movie, if you ain't first, you're last.
00:03:21.960 And Michael Jordan is numero uno.
00:03:24.520 He's the GOAT.
00:03:25.180 He's the guy.
00:03:26.340 And now he's taking over NASCAR, apparently.
00:03:28.800 You know, he's doing his pick and roll.
00:03:29.940 I would guess that he would go into NASCAR.
00:03:31.100 No clue.
00:03:31.920 No clue.
00:03:32.620 I mean, obviously, he wasn't a baseball guy.
00:03:34.160 Red-blooded sports.
00:03:34.960 What's that?
00:03:35.740 Red-blooded North Carolina?
00:03:38.000 Hello?
00:03:39.060 Talladega Knights?
00:03:39.760 Going to NASCAR?
00:03:40.640 Shake and bake?
00:03:41.560 Listen, every morning, I know this.
00:03:43.720 Michael Jordan wakes up every morning and pisses excellence.
00:03:47.340 He thanks the Lord, dear Lord, baby Jesus, eight-pound, six-outdoor, Lord, drinking
00:03:52.360 his Mountain Dew, doing his NASCAR thing.
00:03:54.540 He doesn't know what to do with his hands.
00:03:56.580 Shout-out to Ricky Bobby, but Michael Jordan is the GOAT, and now he may be the GOAT of
00:04:00.440 NASCAR.
00:04:01.420 This right here.
00:04:02.400 By the way, these things cost $700 for each to make.
00:04:06.100 They're all custom-made.
00:04:07.260 Listen to how heavy it is.
00:04:08.440 Ready?
00:04:09.800 Oh, man.
00:04:10.180 This is very heavy.
00:04:11.080 You can hurt somebody with this.
00:04:12.840 Someone officially crossed 5,000 Menecht, the fastest in the history of Menecht, even
00:04:17.680 faster than me.
00:04:18.500 She crushes it on Menecht. 0.76
00:04:19.780 She keeps winning the super heavyweight champion of Menecht on a monthly basis.
00:04:24.660 Shout-out to Lindy Lee. 0.57
00:04:25.740 Lindy.
00:04:26.100 She just crossed 5,000 two weeks ago, and she's already at 5,514 Menecht that she's
00:04:32.960 done.
00:04:33.540 Lindy, this is on its way to you.
00:04:35.640 For some of you guys that have questions, especially the conversations we have with
00:04:39.080 Lindy, ask Lindy about the room she's been in with Hillary, Kamala, all these other guys
00:04:42.720 raising money for the Democratic Party.
00:04:44.520 She's got a lot of insight.
00:04:45.900 Congratulations, Lindy.
00:04:46.940 You officially get the first.
00:04:48.180 Now, the next one is the black one, which I just crossed 10,000 Menecht myself, so this 0.73
00:04:53.160 also happened.
00:04:53.880 This works.
00:04:54.380 It's funny when I'm looking at how much, the amount of, you know, connections you can
00:04:58.600 build with people, but respect to Lindy.
00:05:00.880 Also, you know who quietly just passed Menecht yesterday at 5,000?
00:05:04.180 A guy named Adam Sosting just passed 5,000.
00:05:05.640 Oh, there we go.
00:05:06.580 But yours will come in.
00:05:08.960 He just crossed 5,000 Menecht.
00:05:10.200 I sent it to you yesterday.
00:05:11.880 Yours is being customly made.
00:05:13.300 Lindy, this will be shipped out to you here very soon.
00:05:15.800 You're amazing.
00:05:16.420 Keep at it.
00:05:17.300 And by the way, guys, just recently, Andrew Wilson is now responding on Menecht.
00:05:21.560 Alex Jones is on Menecht.
00:05:22.660 He's got a bunch of different people.
00:05:23.680 If you guys want to ask him questions, Kasperi and Emily, Austin, Cuomo, a bunch of these guys
00:05:28.040 responding to Menecht.
00:05:29.320 But Lindy is officially at 5,000 plus Menecht.
