Let's make it happen. You had nothing but glowing things to say about him, and you defended him personally when it.

Was against the sons. That's what made me angry about it, because I did time for him.

You were in that box.

I literally did time.

You were in the box, so you had to put him in the cage.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I did time.

I know. For him. You paid money out of pocket.

Pocket. For him? Hit me with this. To be your own people, say less.

The Pat Bev pod, With Rowne- With Roon. -the Lakers Revenge.

My boy got a ton of energy right now. I literally just walked out of practice. Yeah, yeah. You got a ton of energy right now. Is it too much? No, it's perfect. I want to give a shout out. I was with one of Kevin Hart buddies yesterday.

Which one? Spank? They called him Spank.

Yeah, Spank. Yeah. He introduced him to a lot of guys who watched The Pot and it was moving real fast last night. To those guys, I know you all watched the pot. I wanted to show you all some love. I have a shout out to Spank, too. Shout out to Kevin Hart, too.

He owes.

You one. Who? Kevin Hart? Yeah. Yeah, but they've been doing a lot of stuff with, I don't know, I think they've been on Strike, writer Strike, and a lot of guys weren't working. Yeah, they come around to it. Shout out to Kevin Hart.

Shout out to.

Kevin Hart. Shout out to Drake, too. That new album with sick songs, Steria, I was sick. Sick song, scary hours, OD.

The song with J. Cole, people don't realize he went on the same rhyme scheme the whole song. Both of them are back and forth on the same.

Rhyme scheme. You haven't seen anything like that in a while.

That was beautiful. That was.

Like free-waving. I'm living like I'm in Carlito's Way.

Oh, my God. But that's the same rhyme scheme as fuck... Oh, my God. It's just they're trading back and forth. They didn't even get to Carlito's Way until like 10 bars into it. You know what I mean? They just hit every possible iteration of that beautiful rhyme scheme, dude.

I know we're going fast, but we're going to go back to the Lakers.

Belt to ass.

Yeah.

Belt to ass. It must have felt good.

No. Great.

Because Jordan is a podcast historian. He pulled the clip of you saying.

Hey.

The Lakers are stamped now, and I'm going to be.

On them. For sure. I didn't want to guard anyone else but Austin Reeves last night. I didn't even want to guard LeBron James. Lebron brought it up, I'd fuck that. I got AR. I got him all gang blown. How dare you come in Chicago in my hood and hit me with the too little? Don't think that I'm going to come for your neck. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it was good. It was good. It was good competing. It was good that I did it to Bron, and he came back and did it to me, and that led to a year later of good competition. Yeah, it was fun. It was fun. But the Lakers banged up. They got some guys missing. Rui gave them some. You know what I'm saying? Vando. Vando. They got some guys missing. But yeah, we went out there and made it a belt to ass.

The biggest loss of LeBron James' career.

Yeah, I didn't know that until recently. I just heard about it.

How does.

That make you feel? It doesn't make me feel any type of way. I'm just happy that we're able to play some good basketball, hit some threes.

You were really shooting that thing, but it's the time of year when your legs get.

Back on it. Yeah, but it's funny because I'm at shoot around the day before yesterday. I'm in there getting a little extra work in. I understand that obviously as a basketball player, you want to go out there and you want to do everything right. You want to defend, you want to score, you want to shoot threes. As every year, my numbers always start down. I'm shooting and Nurse walks, he's watching me shoot. He walks past me. He goes, I need you to start taking more and making more threes. I don't give a fuck how old are you? How long have you been in the league? A coach said something like that to you, it gives you a boost of confidence. Then one of my other coaches, he go, I need you to take at least five threes a game. This was in the same day and a half stint. It felt good. It felt good to make some. It felt good to play well. It felt good to play well on both sides, not to just play well on defense. As a basketball player yesterday it was really good.

It seemed like the Lakers were trying to not guard you.

Yeah, interesting. Very interesting. They know I'm a gamer. I'm a gamer. You know what I'm saying? You can get up for Detroit. You feel me? But the lights, camera action, them big lights on. I'm going to be fun, bro. So yesterday was fun though. It was swaggy. It was fun.

You took it personally that they didn't want to guard you.

No, I didn't take it personally, but when I shoot for three point percentage, I wouldn't want to guard me either. You know what I'm saying? I can't be naive to everything. You got to go with what you think is your game plan. But that was a bad game plan.

Obviously, that's a.

Bad game plan. Yeah, that's a bad game plan. I've told you, I'm a bad bet. For real. I'm a bet against me. A bad one. But it comes with it, though. So he had to take away something and had to give away something and they gave up the three-point shoot in Patrick, brother. It's not bad, but yesterday it was.

But then you get the confidence to start stepping back. Not only spotting up.

But stepping back. Yeah, it's on now. Yeah, it's on. Yeah, it's on. And for me, I just need to see one or two go in. And they just started from OKC. One went in, OKC. It felt good. I think another went in and out. Another one was short, but okay, cool. Just seeing one go in to school as a hooper. Now okay, cool. They done. You know what I'm saying?

They came back from a commercial break. You were talking to Embiid, maybe a half time or something like that. All kinds of pantomimes or some shit. You are charging up Embiid. Do you remember what you're saying?

I don't remember.

Just talking your shit.

Yeah, just talking shit. Yeah, talking with shit.

Also, LeBron James, I think he had zero rebounds for the first time since maybe 2008. Was it something.

Like that? I mean, but they've been on the road. You know what I'm saying? They just played Cleveland in a tough game. Obviously, they can't come play us. So I gave them a lot of credit. They banged up too. Damn, they're 40 years old still playing basketball. It's unreal to me. It's unreal to me. First and foremost, like, unreal. He goes up, he asks about my daughter. I told him about the knee injury. He didn't know. He don't you tell me that. I asked about Bronnie, prayers up for Bronnie. Hope he's coming back soon. Prayer is up for my daughter. Hope she's coming back soon. It's always when we meet. I was literally my big bro. It's different. It was good seeing my old teammates, though.

Yeah, what are some more interactions? Fill me in.

I'm curious. D-low, I ain't fucking guard D-Low, bum-ass. I'm guard AR tonight. I'm on some shit like that. I'm making it obvious. What does D-Low say? Shut the fuck up. We're just going back and forth, you know what I'm saying? But it's all love. It's just friendly competition.

That's how it's supposed.

To be, right? That's exactly how it's supposed to be. You know what I'm saying? I got a chance to get AR back a little bit. I know him, and if I know him well, he is chopping his iron until when we played him in March. I'm, shit, I got the leather belt out also. I'm sharpening my shit too. You know what I'm saying? I know the game going to be- Leather, sharp and leather. I know what I'm saying? I know the game going to be lit next time we play him. I'm excited.

I can't believe that you already have the date circled on your.

Calendar March. No, every time I've seen the Lakers until I retire, whatever team Austin Reays is on, I'm on his ass. Because of this? Because of that. That's all it is because of me. It could be anything. For me, from him in Chicago, in the hood, the same street I went to high school on, you're talking about the project buildings that they knocked down is right behind us. He did that in the hood. You got a lot of balls, but say less.

He must not have known that history.

No, it's cool. It's cool. He go field draft from now on. I'm picking his ass up 94 feet. I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck straight up. It's not personal, just business.

Every social media account picked up that interaction. They didn't really pick up the threes as much if you're watching the game you saw, but they said it got chippy back and forth. They don't really seem that chippy. What was said, though?

None. I got a real good... If you watch the play slow, I close out on them, boom. But I close out on going left. He loves to go left. People don't know that he goes left. He gets to grab your arm, go left, pump fake to his hezy pool. I sit on the left hand for a second and a half, but then you quickly see I switch right back to the other side, make him go right, which he don't like doing. But I'm also using the sideline and baseline as my help defender. Also, I know the shotclock coming down, so I know it's going to be either a fade or some type of something. I know you can't pass in that position. So when I go open left, I second go off shot clock. I cool about eight seconds left. I switched my footwork. Now I'm sitting right. Now I got a good two seconds for him to adjust to that and see what he going to do. He tried to swipe through. That didn't work. I got a little bit of that. I seen Cove. I'm like, all right, Cove. Cove. Come on. Tack his ass.

You said.

That verbally? Yeah, come on. Trap his ass. You deep in that corner. It's trap his ass, for real. Right. Cove got a hand on it, made a good play. But it weren't the play I was worried about because I knew I was going to have a good play because he just banged the three on me in the second quarter, I believe. Like dead in my face, top of the key. So it weren't the three I was worried about or the shot attempt because I knew that shit was going to miss just because of the position he was in. It was the bump after. The bump was crucial. Yeah, the bump was needed.

And you stood there like a brick wall in front of a train.

Yeah, good bump too. But then you didn't see that I put my hand up. You know what I'm saying? But I got a little elbow to the head as he walked through like this. I clipped him. You clipped him? I clipped him. Good call. I clipped him. I clipped him. Yeah. But no, it was fun. It was fun. It was fun battling against the Lakers. It was fun being prepared. It was fun winning. It's always fun when you win.

I think preparation is the key to that sentence because it seems like you guys were super prepared and you even heard about.

How-but you got to think that preparation comes from like, nurse like, I need some pad, what you think? Practice more. You what? We got to practice more. Our schedule. Yeah, but we got to practice more.

What does that look like? Longer practices and additional?

Shorter, we just in the grind right now. But the grind pays off. You beat a good team. Okay, I see you on the road. You beat a team. You can say what you want about the Lakers, bang it up or not. They can go anywhere and win any game at any time.

Hall of Fame.

Is on that team. You feel more prepared. Yeah, your legs might be a little heavy, but that might give you some shooting legs, too. You know what I'm saying? A little stronger legs, too. We practicing a little bit more.

Paul Reed seemed to have a scouting report on Anthony Davis. Oh, yeah.

He what? I thought it was a joke. I'm talking to him beat on the bench. Hey, Jay-o, I thought that was a joke. No, that shit was real. Oh, yeah, Paul Reed, you got some nuts on you. I like it. Yeah. I guess I'm rubbing off on my teammates.

All this nuts and rubbing off talk.

Yeah, it's popular shit. I love it.

Exactly. I think that it's fantastic to see. Then you gave the biggest hug to your buddy, Anthony Davis.

He didn't want to.

Touch me.

He didn't want to touch me. He was literally pissed off. That clip was killing me. I told him, How dare you all leave me open. I'm going to take this game personally anyway. He was like, Come on, Pat. I don't want to hear that shit. I what? I still love you. Ad, that's my dog.

You pouched.

On him. Yeah, that's my dog. Ad, a little five.

Yeah, season high for Pat Bev, but also a ton of offensive rebounds, filling out the stat sheet. What's the key to offensive rebounding from you?

Just tenacity? No, a lot of guys in my position don't go. That's exactly what it is. They don't go. I don't expect the guy to point guard to go offense or rebound. I just like to stick in there and get a couple.

Every game I'm on social media and all I see is people like, Why wasn't Pat Beav a six or sooner? Why weren't you in Philadelphia sooner? You're made for this city. You're cast of the fucking.

Streets of this city. I fucking love this city, man. I didn't understand what Draymond Green meant when he said it like, I'm happy for you, Pat. You go into a city where they go appreciate you. I didn't understand that until me actually playing in Philadelphia. Even more than Chicago, this city really appreciates me. The small things I do, you know what I'm saying? I'm on a basketball court. Yeah, I'm a fucker for them. I'm in the vibe right now.

I think that you got to hear that when you came out of the game last night. Pretty nice ovation. Oh, my.

We don't fuck that ovation. You had a Jaylen Hertz ovation. Oh, my. You weren't there.

That's a.

Pop, though. Yeah, you weren't there, though.

It was crazy.

Od. It's probably the loudest I heard that play.

This city loves Jaylen Hertz. Yeah, the shots.

Of Jaylen Hertz. I don't know if you watched the pod, but yeah, it's just Jailen Hertz.

He just does everything right. You could tell his mentality, his mindset are exactly what you want from a professional.

So, Chad, Ocho Cinco was there. I know he going to be laughing when he watched this shit. Ocho Cinco was there. I got a fan of Ocho Cinco. You know what I'm saying? I'm a big fan of this.

Funny.

Guy. But before I go greet Ocho Cinco, I think the guy, Jackson Hayes, greets him first. Now I'm sitting there looking at Ocho Cinco like, Fuck, what are you talking to him first for? You're supposed to hold on. What's up, Pat? I didn't even say what's up to him because of that.

Sauer.

Graves. I looked at him, he talked to him. I looked at him. I pointed him like, Jackson, what the fuck are you doing? He looked at me, Come on, Pat, not walk off.

Because you already knew him, or it's just like the seniority in the league type.

Of thing? What did you talk to him for about?

He had that good dunk in the preseason a couple.

Of years ago. He's seven feet tall. He's supposed to have a dunk or two. What are you talking about? He talked to Jack's Hayes for the game. I'm not talking about. He talked Jack's Hayes before the game. He's whatever. I'm not talking. You are Jack's Hayes.

Oh, Joe Cienco. You're on notice right now.

I don't know why you did that. Figure out.

The peck and order.

And you looked at me, too. Chat? Oh, he did? And his homie was like, Come on, Pat. I know. Fuck that. I'm not talking. You all are weird now. I'm not talking. He's all typing out. I judge people by they homies, and they look like they were homies. Based off that, I'm cool. What was his homie like? His homie, they look very excited to see Jack's a fucking haze. Fuck out of here. You all killed me, bro. There's people.

I saw a Philly writer, Kyle Newback, pointed out that you switched your song after they make a shot.

Yeah. Chicago is not my vibe. The bang, bang, shoot of my bang, bang is not my vibe. You know what I'm saying? I told him to put on some of the Google dogs. I ain't hearing them yet, though. I think he transferred me and gave me some little DMX or Philly song. It works, though. I just don't like the Chief, Keith. I fuck with.

Chief, Keith. I think they have a Stylis P song. It's the.

Stylis.

P. Stylis P, yeah. Which is cool, but not Philly.

But it's better than Chief, Keith. I don't want people to look at me and just think.

Well- They'll reduce you.

To- Yeah, that's not my cup of tea. He didn't know, though. He was just doing Chicago.

Of course. But it would be nice if you had some Gugudol's plan.

Yeah, chill, chill.

You said it. I'm just reporting what you're saying. What's the process like when you want to switch a song like that? Who do you.

Talk to? Check it out. Truestory. We're playing against Minnesota Timberworth. Let's change the subject. Yeah, that's cool. We're playing against Minnesota Timberworth. Truestory, right? And for me, I look at the schedule, I got two of my young boys coming up.

Aunt.

Shay. Aunt Shay. I think the end of the first quarter. Aunt got the ball in the ice or garden him. He looked like he was tired, but that's still not an excuse. I think he dribbled past the. Mind you, they beating the shit out of us anyway. Play it well. I go, Damn, what the fuck are you doing? Go at me. You what? You want that? What the fuck do you mean do I want that? It's Mr. Miagi versus Daniel-son. Yes, I want it all. Go at me. I see Shay for the game. Mind you, I'm in Toronto shopping. I run into Ms. Gilger, Shay's mom. I don't know if she's Shay's mom. She just hit me with the hair. Thank you for helping me. Thank you for what you've done to my son. Ma'am? She had my last name, it's Gil. Just like, ha. No, you guys did all the hard work. That's easy. She's not. But thank you for being a good vet. I see Shay, we had that conversation. But good luck tonight. I told you about that luck shit. I might believe in luck, you know that. The work. He went at me every time.

I saw on the inbound, he bumped you in the chest.

For him.

Every single time. You guys were going back and forth talking shit.

Every time. He went at me every time. Sometimes he want a certain guy. He want a certain guy with a switch that he call up. But for the most part, when I was guarding him, he made moves. He got to a spot. You feel me? He feel me like he went at me. I respect it.

Yeah, which of those two games you want to talk about first? The T-Wols game or the- T-Wols.

Let's go T-Wols, yeah.

T-wols game. Obviously, that T-Wols team is playing their ass off.

They're a team of four.

Teams right now.

They elite, real coach. You could tell that it's better the more they play together. And they're still missing J. Mcdaniels. The T-Wools look nice. They look nice. They are nice.

I see T-Wools fans being like, Covington and Pat Bell should still be on the wall.

These are lifelong rules. Yeah, but then I hear a couple of T-Wools fans saying, No, Pat Beck talked shit about our franchise. I'm like, Damn, I thought it was all love.

In some ways, you're talking shit about what people should have done, but at the same time, you're like, that's an elite team.

Yeah, very elite team.

And so did Ant go at you the way that you wanted the rest.

Of the game? I mean, he was here. He was having his way at game, so you can't even say that. But he had opportunity to go at me and he didn't. I didn't like that.

Was there any dialog about what you had said about the Wolves with the other guys on their team?

Hell no. I talked to Cat, Cat texted me out the game. I spoke to Cat, Dad. Hell no.

What did Cat say?

What's up, bro? What do you mean what you're supposed to say?

I didn't know if he was like, You're right. I should have.

Chocked him. No, ain't nobody even really talking about that shit no more. That's just pod talk. That's just shit that motherfuckers talk about that they want to say that they've spoken around their friends. They're just happy that someone finally brung it up. But no, it's always little. Cat the homie.

What about Rudy?

I don't talk to Rudy. I talked to Mike Connolly. I'm a Jersey Exchange man. Certain people they be I don't talk to.

That Jersey Exchange was sick. That's love. Where's the jersey now? Are you framing that? Where do they go?

Yeah, I'm a framer.

Cool. I like that Thunder roster.

I do. I do, too.

I think that they just really have... Most ofthe way a mature roster, most of the way a mature roster. Most of them.

Yeah. Well, Coach Two, he does a really good job there, too. I think I seen San Presti in the hallway walking through. I told him I'm a big fan of work. Huge fan. I love the way he do things. I don't even know how you do things. I just like the every year, even if they have a fall year or fall couple of years, they come back and they get better and they get picks and they get young guys and they had Russ and they had James and they had Reggie Jackson, they had Katie. You know what I'm saying? Now they got Shay, they got Chet, they got Josh Goudie. I like what Precious always does, but okay.

Yeah, they just seem like they have a really complete, exciting young roster. We talked before the season about whether it's a Chet or a Womenyama thing, but Chet seems like he's fucking... I mean, he's like a 90, 50, 40 guy.

He played well. He played well. It didn't feel as dominant, but it was dominant. Because you so worried about Shay that you forget you look at him. You're like, Oh, they had a check out at 25. What the fuck? But no, he showed love after the game. Me. I don't talk to a lot of special young guys. I don't even shake their hands. Probably Shay and all my young guys, he made his way to be like, Yo, Pat, what's up? I'm like, that's what's up. That's what's up, Chat.

He's confident.

Yeah, hell yeah. I like him. I like his game too. But I had to ask Shay about him. What's up? He the real deal. Shay was like, No, Pat, he is an N-I-G-G-A. I say, Oh, all right, cool. That's all I need to know. Congratulations, Chat. Yeah, welcome to the militia, my boy.

Here's your card, my friend. Card carrying whatever he said.

Yeah, right. Sure, that's enough.

I said whatever you said. I'm not saying I would never let the road go down. But I think it's enjoyable to watch that team. Yeah, I even got a text from Graham Bennett before the game. He said he was looking for you, but I didn't run into you. But it would have been nice to see you guys. Hey, guys. Let's take a second and talk about Lightbox Jewelry.

But also the Boston date, I think, looms because it seems like that's a little bit of a clash of a Titans thing that's going on developing.

No, the most important game right here is Pelicans.

One at.

A time. I'm not always one at a time, you know that. So I can't even look at it, Pelicans.

Well, how would you guard, Zion?

I'm going to help. I'm going to fucking help. Help. I try to front the post, make a hard on him so he don't have to catch it. He catch that motherfucker. Come help me. Yeah, I ain't a fool. I'm a smart defender. Help me.

Because he is well built. But then I get.

In the game, I'd be like, I don't want no fucking help. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, I say it now.

Right. Yeah, that's honest. That's keeping it real. I think that he is obviously a physical specimen that you want to see healthy if you like basketball. Then Brandon Negrom also is just a pretty underrated player.

Yeah, B. Yaka who? Yeah, he go.

He's not going to be physically dominant, but I think skill wise.

He's skill wise. He's right there.

Very skilled player. One game at a time.

Always.

Just one game at a time. Always. But except for when you're looking to head to March for the next Lakers game. Sure. But I mean, are there certain games that you circle on the calendar? Or is that every game is created equal?

I circled that Austin Reeves game. It wasn't even the Lakers game. It was Reeves game. I took you out. You know me like... You feel me? You step on my shoes. You feel me? Look at me the wrong way. I'm going to feel some type of way. I've been thinking about that shit since it happened. I spoke on it a little bit. I only spoke on it a little bit. You feel me? He did that shit in the hood in Chicago.

Did any of your friends give you a hard time about it? No, because they knew. It's just completely personal.

They knew. They knew. Oh, it's wrong, motherfucker. You don't do that, man. But say less.

Hopefully, he comes at you next time and it can be a clash of the Titans. Yeah, I.

Hope so.

I really hope so. I think that it's a nice budding rivalry. Why not?

Why not? Why not have a little- It's to hold me too.

Right. You had nothing but glowing things to say about him, and you defended him personally when it was.

Against the Suns. That's what made me angry about it, because I did time for him.

You were in that box.

I literally did time.

You were in the box. You had to put him in the cage.

No, no, no, no, no. I did time.

I know. For him. You paid money out of pocket.

Pocket for him. Hit me with this. It'd be your own people, say less.

Yeah, I hope after the game he was like, He's.

This tongue. He's this tongue. I'm pointing at my folks during the game. Van Doe. We're all at two little shit at now. Victim. Another victim. Come on. We're all at two little shit now. Keep that same energy. You know me? Yeah.

What is Van Doe saying?

What? What? Shout to Van Doe. He's fly as hell, too.

Always. He paid for it all himself, I heard, which I think is cool of him. And B-D passing the ball.

He like that? Shout out to Danny Green. I'm a boy of Danny, yeah, man.

Yeah, he's... And Bid seems like he...

Yeah, he was triple-double, three-quarters.

And he had to assist away from two other triple-doubles. It seems like he's really putting an emphasis.

On his- Well, the spacing is good, though. We're making it easy for him, too. He gets it, we push it. They want to help, everybody just ready to shoot. Ready to shoot three. If they don't help, there's no way he can guard one-on-one.

I've really enjoyed watching his dynamic with Nico, the way that they're touch-passing between the legs. They're globe trottering it up out there a little bit, just trying to be creative and fun with the basketball.

The French connection. You like that? Damn. Nico has been great, though. Shout out to my boy Marcus Morris. He played great, too.

He's burning it up. The Clipper's fans are steaming mad that he's playing so well.

Why?

Because they traded him.

Clipper's trade everybody.

That's what the Clipper's do. Trade to Shay.

Trade to you. Gallop. Gallop. Everyone. Downtown, Lou, me.

Everybody. Everybody. Trade everybody, trade for everybody. I think that you look at the Shay trade in retrospect, and man, that looks great for Oklahoma City.

I know, but I got a question. Looking at the trade now. I know you always ask me the basketball question, so I'm going to ask you a basketball question. Okay. Looking at that tray now, who won? Would you rather have Kepp Shay and those picks for Paul George?

Definitely. Definitely. It's not any type of personal shot at Paul George, but you look at Shay's production and his ceiling and what you can do, and they have done with the draft picks, I mean, the draft picks allow you to trade for another player like that. And I don't think that the Clippers, if they knew a Shay was going to turn into, would have ever made that trade. Now, in retrospect, it's like you have a player of the archetype that you're looking for already. Why are you getting rid of him? I guess Paul George is a little bit more established at that point.

But at the same time. I think it was Kauai, too. I think coming in, you get these tough guys. I think they think they need more help than what they really need. So outside looking in, Kauai probably didn't know the makeup of our team. Honestly, after that year, we took Golden State six games with starting two rookies. We only need it one more guy. We don't need the guy. The guy added with Galinari, Shay, Sham, Mee, Lutris. We were happy as fuck. We got Paul George too. This is going to be even more crazy. But we were just thinking like, man, we get one main guy. It's a wrap next year. You know what I'm saying?

I think sometimes when teams try to overstuff, it's like a sandwich with every ingredient in it. This shit is not going to taste good.

Yeah, but like I said, it's all about matchups too. They all it's all about matchups. They, a team with all that can pose to having one of the best matchup problems in the NBA. In retrospect, you got to take the good with the good, the.

Bad with the bad. Hey, guys. This winddown is brought to you by Pi Wine. Where's my Pi Wine? There it is. Pi-wine. Pi-wine. Pizzas. New side piece, Pi Wine. Oh, my gosh, I wish you could feel how crisp and cold this feels in my hand. It has me, Jones, and to sit cross-legged in front of my television with a extra large pizza pie like I'm freaking Kevin McAllister. Only the thing is I'm grown up now and I can have a little adult bevy whenever I'm enjoying pizza. That means I'm having some sweet sour wine that's made by pie wine. Pie wine, pizza's new side piece, gluten-free, it contains alcohol. And every one of these bad boys, every single can has two glasses of wine in it. And one of the best things I love about pie wine, which by the way, is a Shark Tank certified product, went on Shark Tank, got an investment. But you can actually be an investor on pie wine and get a slice of the what is it? A $42 billion pizza industry? I mean, let's be clear here. What better option and offer is there than being able to enjoy a nice alcoholic beverage while also being an investor in that company?

And Pie Wine is offering you that. At the very least, you can enjoy it every single time that you have a nice, sweet, delicious pizza pie. Pie wine, they have it in multiple flavors. Everyone is as good as the last. You go to piewine. Com, find out a bunch more. Enjoy your pie wine today. What we're talking about? Paul George, I saw a clip that he had yesterday, a quote, when he was talking about Russ getting into it with a fan and he was defending Russ. He said-.

Yeah, I.

Didn't see that. What happened? So a fan was talking to Russ as fans do, and Russ was going back and forth with a fan. Paul George's sentiment was basically what other line of work do people come and chastise you while you're doing your job? I disagree with that, to be honest with you. I think it's part of the experience of having a bunch of people who want to come watch you at your extremely high.

Paying job. But the payment has nothing to do with it. I think it does. But it shouldn't.

I don't know. I think it's part of this. It's part of this bargain, this Faustian bargain that you're taking part of.

Just because a person gets paid a lot, that means that someone, it gives them a okay to heckle them?

Yes.

That's some of the dumbest shit I've heard.

Why?

Because when Elon Musk walks down the street, you all go heckle him?

I think he definitely gets lit up. I think that if... Look at Elon Twitter. People are like.

Fuck you. I can't say this and that. Yeah, obviously, that's Twitter. I'm not talking about Twitter. We're talking about personal, interpersonal. We're talking about, You see me.

But Elon Musk doesn't do anything where people buy tickets to come see him.

Okay, well, name someone else.

I think if you're a surgeon and you do a bad job at your job, someone can come in.

Like-who said he did a bad job at his job? That's my thing. What does the bad come from?

But two teams are competing against one another. So you're allowed to root for your own team.

They play... Where did they play yesterday? In L. A?

I'm not sure.

I didn't know that. Okay, I think they played in L. A.

I just.

Don't understand this. I don't understand. You can see me at store, won't autograft. You can see me in game, call me asshole, call me trash. But when you see me at store, it's not that energy. That's the problem. Then you mix that other problem with courtside and a ton of drinking and a ton of booze and a ton of beers and Whit game. I think that's the problem.

Do you think that a stadium should just be people sitting on their hands and just like clobbing when.

Things are good? No, but it should be alcohol limit. It should be alcohol limit. You feel me? It should be alcohol limit. For any motherfucking thing. You drink too much alcohol.

They cut off beers at the third quarter.

Okay, but before I don't even think they did that. So just imagine, my fucking just hammered in the fourth quarter. Overtime, good game. That boo turns into fuck you. You know what I'm saying? That's what it turns into. I know we don't like to speak about it, but that's exactly what it turns into. That's all because of the Devil's Juice, aka, Liquid Courage.

Yeah, I think that when someone's watching a game, though, they're trying to affect the outcome of the game. They're trying to throw off the opposing player, and they're trying to be like, I'm trying to help my team win, so I want to throw him off of his game a.

Little bit. But that's where boo-oo come from. But more alcohol gives you, Fuck you, Westbrook, or you're trash, or this, or that. It gives you liquid courage to give you more things.

What if someone says he's too little or he's soft?

No one says that. He was not drunk.

Does that cross the line to you?

No one says that until they're drunk. That's my thing. It's not about crossing the line. Okay, you're only saying this because you drunk. Because if you seen me, you were just sitting right here first quarter. I was just going through the whole lay of the line. You don't say a word. You get two, three beers and I'm two little these, two little these, all that. What that shit was when the game started.

Do you think if people are sober and they still want to talk shit like that.

It's okay? People not talking shit like that because they're sober. Because they wouldn't say that if we ran to each other on the street at a store, dropping our kids off. You wouldn't have none of that energy. Only reason you have that energy because you know it's during a game and you're tipsy a little bit. That's the only way you say that.

I think it's an interesting debate. I think that in some ways that's part of the man in the arena type of thing where it's like you are the one who gets the glory and you are the one who gets chastised when things go bad.

Yeah, until you have kids around. See, you're mixing an adult game. You're putting kids around mixing with adults who are also drinking. So not kids here what? You're cheering. I don't know, we might be on the road. We might be in Detroit. You feel me? Kid Detroit Pissons fan, right? He hears drunk guy. Now, Kid thinks that's okay. That's the issue. It ain't the drunk guy who's on Twitter. Trash, ass, woo woo. It's the 14-year-old kid is. Now, Kidd takes that same stuff that he knows, goes back, takes that to high school. Motherfucker might whip his ass. Now, Kia get ass whipped based off what drunk man was talking about in the game. That's what I'm talking about.

Yeah. I have no problem with Russ ever going back at somebody-.

Because I had a kid tell me in Atlanta, Pave of your trash. I literally turned around. Look like who the fuck? But the way he said it was very disrespectful.

I turn.

Around, I see a kid. I literally walk up to him, You don't have to do that.

You don't have to do that to be cool. I think you can embarrass people who are like that because they don't realize that you're a.

Real person. Yeah, but if they see their homie friend doing, their uncle doing, their dad doing it, it becomes okay. Yeah. I'm just only doing it because my dad know you're doing it because you're a drunk dad, or you're a drunk uncle, or you're a drunk friend's dad, or you're a drunk mentor. That's the only reason you're doing it. You know what I'm saying? It's different. It's just different.

Yeah, I think that it's a.

Very- I still got boo, OKC. I'm like, Damn, it's been eleven years. The lady who's worked there when I was a rookie 11 years ago, she, Oh, Patti. Lady had to be, I don't know, 75 years old. Patti, it's good to see you again. How you been? She always wears the basketball earrings. Yeah, see, every time she always speak, we always chat it up. It's good to see you playing. Good to see you still here. Good to see you here, ma'am. Thank you so much. People still booing me, eleven years. Two, three coaches later, a whole fucking roster later, they still booing me.

I feel like you're good with Russ. I feel like everybody should just be.

Like- I'm looking at them like, Come on, you all. It's been eleven years. I'm like, So what? Yeah, booing you. But think about that. I think that went over your head a little bit because you was about to go to the next level. Think about that. Where does that come from? Where does that come from? Eleven years?

Yeah.

That comes from... Eleven years ago, a 16-year-old kid was five.

You're saying that it's passed down generationally.

Now you hear me. Where did you get it from?

Totally. But I think that's part of what makes.

Sports fans- A 22-year-old was 11-year-old.

But that's something that sports fans share in some ways, like passing down phantom from one to another.

Yeah, I'm cool, but we human also. I ain't asking for a pass. I think that's definitely fair. Boo the shit out of me.

Or recognize.

People's humanity. I play bad when I get boo, you know what I'm saying?

So does Al Warford. He blew.

Me a kiss. Yeah, just don't be disrespectful. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's all Westbrook. I mean, Westbrook trying to say just don't be disrespectful.

I think that that's fair. I think that that's definitely a fair situation. The Orlando Magic, are we ready to call them good?

Chill.

Okay. How was your Thanksgiving?

Great. I had the kids over. Sister over niece over. Favorite cousin over. How do you.

Pick your favorite cousin?

Everybody know my favorite cousin is.

The most loyal.

Oh, really? On the asset list?

Yeah. Her name is Monique.

Monique. She's not the cousin that you beef with last year? Yeah. Oh, really?

We put our differences aside.

Wow, that's incredible. How many people were over?

Two, three, four, five, six, chef seven, eight, nine people.

That's nice.

It was solid. Chef was on the ones and twos, boy, he was mixing.

What's the best way to season a turkey?

I don't know. I asked my chef.

Is it like... How do you make sure it's.

Entirely seasoned? I don't know. I asked my chef.

How do you make sure the turkey is entirely seasoned? Brine it. Turkey base it. Old school shit that I'm talking about. Okay. He does it a new way.

I got to go.

Find a seasonant. I got to go. That bev has to go. It's road trip time. I'll go. Talk to you guys soon.
