00:00We've been yammering. Let's get the rats off a ship. What do we got today? Jennifer guys
00:05have been yapping. Well, do you guys want to see a video of J.J. Reddick being a liner
00:12already? It's day one. He wasn't happy with the basketballs. His team was shooting. All
00:20right. What is let's let's hear from Lakers coach, podcaster, JJ process of generating
00:28threes. Look, the paint was open the second half. We took, I think, 19 threes in the first
00:33half, which is right on pace to kind of where we want to be for our season average in terms
00:38of a full game. And we got great looks. And there was even some threes there in the second
00:45half that I thought were were wide open and we just could knock them down. I'm going to
00:50send in a request for the league tomorrow that we can play with Warren in basketballs.
00:57I'm not sure why we're playing in real games. I'm being dead serious. I'm not sure why we're
01:01playing in real games with brand new basketballs. Anybody's ever touched an NBA ball brand new.
01:07It's a different feel and touch than a worn in basketball. I didn't realize it till a
01:11time out. There's a long rebound. I grabbed it. It's like, what? Why are we playing with
01:15this ball? Give the guys the opportunity to pick a good basketball. You think I'm joking?
01:24No, I'm positive. Erotic. I'm positive. You're not joking.
01:30Can I just say this? I would be rats off a ship if I was all about what Tobin's going
01:42to be about, but I do know from a standpoint of playing with a new cause, a new football
01:51or basketball has wax on it and it makes it kind of slippery. Yeah. And so like for
01:57example, kickers, kickers get their game balls the week previously. And basically what they
02:05do is they inflate them super, super big, soak them in water, then deflate them, dry
02:16them off and then scrub the wax off where they do. They typically do. Like you go to
02:22before the game, you go before the game, like you see like two, usually the star players,
02:26they go with the refs, they pick a basketball, right? Maybe they just used all new balls.
02:31Did they use a different basketball because of the brawny thing? Like, were they trying
02:33to usually you get to work, you get to work game balls in ladies like previously, like
02:39they may send you like 15 or 20 balls to work in that week. Okay. But did the Celtics cause
02:47the Celtics had a three point record yesterday? I don't know. It couldn't, I don't think,
02:52I'm thinking he's just talking about his game. I don't know if they did it everywhere, but
02:57they usually let you work the balls in a lever. I get that. I get it. That's the first game
03:03of the season. What, like what, like what use balls are there? They're going to use.
03:08No, no, no. They still, they still, they still get to use the work, the balls on, get that
03:12wax off of them. Dude, that wax is slippery. No, I get that. But I'm just saying, I understand
03:19it's a new season. I'm going to expect new balls. Yeah, but just be, wait, wait, wait,
03:25wait. See, we're talking about two different things. You can have a new ball that's worn
03:29in a worked in. You see what I mean? No, I get that. But I'm also thinking that they
03:34haven't played basketball on that court maybe in like three or four months. So you know
03:39what I mean? I got you. Um, but I would say he, I can't be rats off a ship about his point
03:47because I understand what he's talking about, but Tobin's going to be rats off a ship because
03:52it's so cute. Come in with all that. He thought about JJ Reddick about the Lakers. They stunk
04:08shooting the ball last year. Maybe they just think it's shooting the basketball this year.
04:13New balls, old balls, worn in balls, wax balls. I don't know. Bluetooth. I can be our
04:27answer for anything. What are your, uh, what are your rats, Jennifer? I don't know why
04:32I kind of just want to say rats off a ship. You want to know why? Cause it's enough of
04:37them already. Vlad. Yeah. I'm a bit at rats off a ship on that because I'm saying like,
04:46what are you expecting to have old balls? Like what are we doing here? Like there's like,
04:50no, it did not old balls, but they do get an opportunity to work them in a little bit.
04:55How long did you get that way? You, you know, to get that wax off the basketball,
04:59you almost have to scrub them. How long you need to scrub them balls? Uh, probably a couple of days.
05:05I think I'm going to investigate the balls, the heat game tonight. You might have to,
05:09you might have to wait. No, here's what you need to do. You ask them, okay. Do they send you the
05:18balls and give you an opportunity to get the wax off? Or do they just, you know, because guess what,
05:24you know, what else doesn't hear the wax, you know, when they put that talcum powder on their
05:27hands, it makes it even slipperier. So yeah, I'm telling you. Thanks. You can throw it up.
05:41Jfig. It's fine. Point for
05:49puts on Twitch. Tobin's going to walk into the locker room asking
05:53here to investigate the balls. It would be out on the court. Hey, you, you did this. Hold on.
06:02You did this to you. Don't blame it on me. Don't blame it on anybody else. You did this to you.
06:10Then when you want people to say, Hey, I'm a, uh, I'm a, uh, investigative reporter.
06:16This is what you get. Cause you're also the same guy that said,
06:19let's go get some RuPaul, RuPaul's pouches. So the sales meaning to that.
