00:07Okay, thanks a lot leaning

00:10He's in China China. That's right. That's unfortunate though. I mean

00:15a long time ago

00:16Like it's not it's like if I tell you four months in advance

00:19Hey, we're gonna do this and then like someone gets you a month in advance

00:22I don't believe leaning got that. No, I got that check. I mean leanings, you know, they got the Jimmy Butler shoe, you know

00:30Yeah, I think what about uh, I tried to purchase leanings. I

00:35Have a pair of leanings. I have a pair of leanings purchase it or were they given to you?

00:39No, I purchased actually because I used to like when I first went D Wade first came out of leanings

00:44They were ridiculous. Like you had to order them from China and they were like

00:48And I but I got some leanings on Amazon leaning offers discounts and

00:55Recommended product prices footwear making it easier to shop for men related products

01:00Yeah, I'm like 129

01:02To fourteen hundred and ninety nine dollars. Yeah, probably depends on like the you know, I mean frog was probably buying dead man shoes

01:09So, you know, I did see a guy at the gym like a week ago. He was wearing yellow Jimmy Butler leaning

01:16I've never seen anybody wear Jimmy Butler's right now

01:19If you want to buy some leaning the one that Jimmy Butler's wearing the South Beach

01:25They are on sale. I think they're good-looking shoe. No, they are good-looking

01:28Sure, they're good-looking. You can get them for the low price of

01:31$175

01:32I mean like but for a signature shoe, that's what a signature like a LeBron cause you know

01:36Those shoes are cheap as hell. Nobody buys them. Yonases. No, I have I have a pair of Greek freaks

01:41You get Yonases for like $40 leaning has Batman shoes

01:46I like those Anthony Edwards. Oh

01:49Here you go. Do you think like cheese blocks?

01:53Leaning way of way to dude. Would you like Jimmy Butler? Are you like a way of Wade?

02:0012 team no sleep. That sounds cool. Yeah, weren't they called stingweeds when they first came out?

02:08I remember he was on an episode of tanked because what they did was I love tanked tank was a great show

02:14Tanked on the animal planet. No, it was a show about a bunch of brothers who they ran an aquarium business

02:21Fancy aquarium and they it became super popular like they had

02:26Every year they were doing every year. They get bigger and bigger stars like they did a Shaq aquarium. They did

02:33Anthony do one with when they hit with UD and they had

02:38Somebody over his house the basketball player over his house. No, that was a different thing

02:42You're thinking of Nate Robinson. Hey, I was like a Cribs version. Yeah, and we got to see you D shark tank

02:48I don't believe I don't know if you needed tanked, but I don't believe there was an episode about it

02:51Okay

02:51But there was one episode where D Wade was doing a leaning launch event and the shoe was called the sting Wade and this is

02:59Just throwing money

03:01Leaning told the tank guys. Can you make us a stingray tank for the event? They're like

03:08Yeah, just for the event can we have an aquarium and I guess what waters they did it oh my god

03:13Oh pretty stingrays to nothing like a good stingray. I believe that thought that show ended in disgrace

03:19I believe the husband and wife got into a domestic dispute. Oh

03:23I'm looking at Jimmy Butler's ending of

03:26Jimmy Butler's

03:28One dawn one coffee. Oh

03:32How much is the coffee?

03:34Coffee is probably more expensive than the same price 157. Um, but anyway, so yeah gore on draggage now

03:41Who is gonna be there Chris Bosh?

03:44Not playing but he'll be there. Okay. Yeah, this is something that I've I need clarification

03:48He's not playing the initial reports were that he's like, I'm still ready to play and then also he's not somebody

03:53No, what happened is a couple of heat Twitter accounts. No, no shade guys heard

03:59They had said that he is confirmed to play which is not what it says on his website it just says

04:06Confirmed attendees and Chris Bosh was on the list Chris, but the heat is gonna be Chris Bosh

04:11I believe Lou all dang is gonna be there building and then Spoh is going with Chris Quinn

04:17Yeah, see that was my question because I saw the initial reports and then I saw them walk it back with the the follow-up reports

04:23Well, my first thought was let's say, you know hypothetical world

04:26He goes out there balls out crazy amount of things that were you would want the heat to inquire about bringing back Chris Bosh

04:32Do you think that Riley's like?

04:34No, I don't

04:35Know I don't think he owes us a couple games. No, I don't think I don't think that's true

04:41I'm just saying like they jumped the gun on that like they basically said like I don't I don't even know if Joker's playing

04:46I don't know who's playing in the game

04:51There's always the risk like I don't know if they go away but the point and also by the way, isn't he 40 now?

04:55I know he's got some in the tank

05:00You know, there's enough basketball players in the world you don't have to go and ask

05:06Him if you've got a couple of minutes, well, I'd rather him than Drew Smith

05:16So Goran Dragic is retirement event is this weekend in Slovenia his official retirement games

06:02It's over to Slovenia. He was genuinely moved that we dress like a dragon, you know

06:07That was one of those things that was supposed to end an embarrassment for me

06:09Yeah, and it really everything backfired on us. It really meant a lot to Goran Dragic that I

06:15Went outside the arena in a dragon costume and said welcome home Goran

06:20That meant a lot to him. And then I remember there was one where he came back at the Bucs

06:24Yeah, and he just like you just saw his little adorable Slovenian face peek out from behind the corner

06:29This gives me a little wave

06:31Just want to pinch his cheeks. He's great the best perfect bro. Look, this is a simple you can take Turkish Airlines
