[Assistant] Antoninus and his aides poured through the incoming dispatches and did their best to advise, define, approve, and disapprove the myriad requests for instructions, aid, and funding that came in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not content to passively react, Antoninus, especially as it related to financial matters, constantly studied the books and demanded explanations from his various provincial officials to justify their decisions and their appropriation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Corrupt officials, when discovered, were dealt with swiftly and harshly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Antoninus had no time for dishonesty or selfish misappropriation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Governance was a sacred trust that he took very seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Antoninus' concern for the welfare of his subjects, evidenced by his generous response to disasters and his intense focus on maintaining just and honest governance, extended even to a usually invisible segment of the population, slaves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Antoninus continued the trend of allowing more rights to the living engines of the Roman economy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I plan to deal more with slavery next week, but suffice it to say, following the slave revolts of the late republic that culminated with Spartacus's war,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Roman elite began to think differently about the servants who surrounded them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The belief that slaves were so much inanimate property that could be used and abused at will gave way to a more humane attitude


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During Antoninus' reign, this trend reached its logical conclusion, with the emperor codifying the idea that just as a slave had a duty to his master, a master had a duty to his slave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In some cases, a cruel master could be ordered to sell his slaves and in all cases, the murder of a slave was now considered homicide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But again, this was the logical extension of a hundreds year long trend, and Antoninus should not be considered some human rights radical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If slavery was going to survive as an institution, as the emperor felt that it justly should,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These rights needed to be extended to prevent mass uprisings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cruel masters were a national security threat, more than they were a moral affront.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taken as a whole, the picture we get of Antoninus is a man who wants tomorrow to be like today and today to be like yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was conservative in his approach to practically every aspect of his public and personal life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Believing his primary function to be the maintenance of what was already good rather than the invention of something better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to stop there for this week because while there are a few more things to say about Antoninus, specifically about his relationship with Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Severus, the men who would succeed him, there is not a ton more material to cover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, however, does present us with a nice opportunity to briefly pause our story and focus a bit on everyday life in the age of the Antonines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been a while since I've docked the SS narrative, but with 2nd century Rome existing politically, culturally, and economically at the height of its power,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems like a perfect time to put into port for a week or two and take a look around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plus, Jerome Carcapino's classic, Daily Life in Ancient Rome, focuses specifically on this period of the Empire, so it seems only natural that we should pause during Antoninus' reign to think about the bigger picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So next week, we'll start digging into social issues and religious trends and economic activities and all the little things that define the lives and livelihoods of the millions and millions of people who lived under the Pax Romana of the Five Good Emperors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last thing I'll mention is that as a few of you have noticed, we are fast approaching the hundredth episode of the History of Rome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know we are only on episode 85, but with the two part and five part shows, this is actually the 95th posted episode, and I can assure you that this is the metric I use when defining which will be the, quote, 100th episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to throw the show open to questions from the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The questions can be about anything, Roman things, podcast things, baseball things, personal things to a point, anything really, so don't feel too constrained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, if you've ever wondered about something, just go ahead and throw it out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I probably won't be able to answer everyone, but I'll do my best to pick out representative questions that mostly cover what most people are mostly wondering about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only question you can't ask is where are the early episodes, because as I'm pleased to point out, they are now all available on iTunes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm still ironing out the bugs, so the ordering is a bit off, and it looks like iTunes is doubling up downloading episodes that you already have, which is really annoying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For those of you who are newcomers, those early episodes can be a bit rough, both in terms of production and style. So please don't judge them too harshly. I was, after all, making it up as I went along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The really, really last thing I'll mention is that the Forum Galorum is also now hosting a weekly History of Rome chat that launched last week and will occur regularly at noon US Central time on Saturdays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should be there next weekend and periodically after that schedule permitting, so see you there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I see the floor like a point guard. Know what I'm saying? So my whole thing is like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Implemented it, and I'm very dis- I'm like a disrespectful coach. Like I'm the best coach to be with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, cause I'm with you, with you, with you, but if...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I keep telling you to do something, you don't want to listen? Because the biggest thing about athletes is you can have the most talent in the world, but if your IQ ain't right,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta respect when somebody know the game. Sometimes you look at something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some coaches and you be like, ah, they just balk in the balk, but they don't really know the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem with him is he needs every element to work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and so like the way he knows how to coach, everything gotta be clicking. Like you guys are clicking, clicking, clicking. You is a major, major piece to bring confidence to the Knicks to have us clicking, chilling together, believe it or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, from day one, y'all, cause you guys all played together in college, y'all start, you really like brought this gel to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be like, alright, now we going. We got a well-oiled machine here. You know what I'm saying? Everybody playing their part, but Timbs is like, and, and, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He only knows how to coach one way. He's old fashioned. He says, yo, this is how we win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what, uh, the algorithms was saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was really weird that Juju and them lost because I could have bet my whole life that they were going to play each other, right? And so that's what happened here. You know, I had been at the Rucker, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a couple of years, the, the, the, the, the pocket fell off a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so once I came in and I brought a team and I started bringing all the NBA, you know, Steph Marbury played every single game for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the seven years I coached, played every single game, never missed a game. And his brother Zach, and then so I was bringing AI in there, I was bringing...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, everybody you could think of who was just turning it up. The only guy who never came who's my brother is D-Wade. D-Wade was the one guy I chased for seven years straight who never touched a rocker. And uh, and so that was around the time Kobe came.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out there, and uh, rest in peace, Kobe. And so, you know, we, we, we was, when I, once I saw he had a team, I said, oh no, we playing the chip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We used to call him the Baby Panda. Probably one of the most skilled big man I ever seen play street basketball. He should have been in the NBA. So he had that, uh, Floddy DeVock. He had like the Joker. He was like the Joker. You know, he would pass, score, but he took him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so every game I remember walking, uh, walking out the park if we won, and all of a sudden you hear the whole crowd go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, they was pulling up in the tour bus, the Jay-Z tour bus, with everybody coming out. And every day they had LeBron, this is LeBron straight out of high school. They had LeBron, Sebastian Telfair, uh, Jamal Crawford was going crazy for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think ants won't walk up a couple of them, but, uh, the night of the chip, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was more than a garden. It was, it was, but you know, they would climb the tree, they would get on the bridge, they'd get on the rooftop. Everybody gotta see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta understand, this is what I tell people all the time, this is how I used to recruit players to play, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're super rich, why would you want to play in the street park and maybe hurt yourself or something? But I'd be like, yo, the kids that really emulate you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta understand, when you're playing on Christmas, there's a kid that goes to the park right after you play, and emulates your moves on snow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so that day we went out there and it was a blackout. It was crazy. So we out there, Jay-Z and them is out there. So it was a blackout. So there's no way to play the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so they, they go up on the radio. The only thing was working the radio and they start talking. Crazy. Shaquille O'Neal gets on the radio. Talk it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just was like overhyped. And uhm, so they got me really angry at that point. And I was like really mad. So they scheduled a game again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we show up. So all my plays, it was around the time where you had to check in to the NBA. It was training. It was like all the teams calling their players back. It was the end of the summer. My guys stood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All my guys stood, they was like, you know, because you gotta understand, you might, you know, it's the almighty Rob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Steph Mulberry, Jay-Z, I just dissed him and said, yo, don't ask me like Mulberry at the light. You could lose your life. So boy, he was ready to go. And then Smashing Telphi. We used to buy the guy ghetto Chinese. That's Steph's little cousin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We used to go to Coney Island and buy him ghetto Chinese and hang out with him and he can't play for Jay-Z. So it was like really crazy, uh, we had Carmelo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The USA was playing the Olympics. Remember it was in New York. That was the time Carlos Arroyo in Puerto Rico had won. So I had Mike Bibby and Alan Orbison waiting in the hotel on 57th to come up to the game after the first quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we was, uh- Well, you was this, like, oh, oh, four?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we showed up, and they didn't show up on the make-up game. And I think rumors are that, you know, that their players had to go back to Chicago, had to go everywhere. So we was on the, on the, uh, court for like three hours. And then finally, uh, rest in peace, Greg Maris, he said, you know, if you walk out of here, you win by four foot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and so, uh, yeaah, that was the game that never happened. They kept trying to get it to happen, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Madison Square Garden, Barclays, and whatever the case. And we was like, nah, we got to do this on the concrete. We got to take it to the HUD. Yeaah. Yeaah. But it was, it was amazing. It's a legendary story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn, but how could you? This would be cheat code these days, right? So you, uh, John Moran, if they would allow him to play, cause that's what I had to ask Stefan A.I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as a big man, damn, I would use the joker for sure. So I would use the joker, uhm, Johnnis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would have gassed Jonas to come to the Waka. Like in my day of coaching I would have, I would have been in Milwaukee, I would have been on it. His ass pause to come out there and score a, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm not, I was there at the game. I'm not talking about half court. He was, they checked it out, passed it to him and five guys would go like this and he was hitting them shit. Water, water, water, water. He scored like 80 points. I said, Oh wow. I was out there. They chased him into the truck. He had to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They was mad. They was big mad. And he wasn't playing scrubs. This is another thing. If you come out there and you play against scrubs. So what else? I said four, right? I didn't say five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jason Tate? That's a mean team. What'd I say? You?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said John Moran, Jason Tatum, The Joker, and Jonas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't say I was dirty, but we had one guy that just was to hit you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, Aaron Hamilton told me every time he played against Yao Ming because his legs were like on his back, he would miss the next two games. Every time, every time he played him, he'd be so sore for two extra games for him to come back. Cause Yao Ming was just so big and just, boo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know the game, the game is different, right? So I watch you guys play, and, and you, right, I've been trying to explain to people, like, you shooting angles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? Your shit is all angle. The way you, the way you shoot. You're not just straight up shootin'. You come into the basket in angles. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I feel like when you shoot, you gotta anticipate to help defense. The game is so different now, right? It's like you just know somebody is coming behind you, so you gotta shoot like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the angle, like, did you learn like that since you was a kid or that was something you had to adapt to in the A?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You push through, right? You push through and sometimes I see three guys coming at you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I almost was, uh, in a state of depression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm not going to lie to you, but basketball is my life. Besides, you know, I watch basketball every single day, even summer league, everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I wasn't up on OG like that, right? And so since he came, I think y'all like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 18 out of 20 games. What is it that you see, I know what I see, but what is it that you see that every time you guys play, the team gets even better?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, I think he's like circus soleil. He was out there dancin'. And he would always find the open man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, I was always impressed with his game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With how he saw the floor, you know, he's, he liked to give it up more than, than even take the shot. It's a shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, this guy, you know, that's one of the missed opportunities. Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady, I think they should have stood together. And uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost like, uh, what they had in OKC. K.D. Harden off the bench. Uh, West, like, man, they had the squad. They just ain't know they had the squad like that. You know? And so, but Vince Carter, you know, John C. Billups, you know, big game. I used to hate my man, um, the center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of Detroit, what was it? Oh man, Pam Wallace, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was strong as hell. Every time I see David Lee, my Knicks play him, they were so shook of this guy. Like, I mean, like scared. Like, you know, he would hit him and you'll see them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, it's different because like some say Mitchell Robinson is so big, but he's a, he's an original big man. So it's like, you know, he don't want to run out there to that three, but what if a Yamba's shooting them threes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To play against Shaq, when he was playing the chip against Shaq, I was like, yo, dunk on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, that would have ended A.I.'s career. Yes! Right? I told him about 30 times, he said, you crazy? He's gonna throw me into the stands!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he dunked LeBron two times in one game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's getting out of control, like he got the number. I mean, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I never liked those type of guys that jump from team to team or go somewhere weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like, no disrespect, KD, I love you. You, you're one of the greatest of all time. I never respected that. Golden State. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That move right there. You know what I'm saying? I'm just like, you know, I think you build your team. Now, if your time's up,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody wants to score 50 points in Madison Square Garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To actually be a part of winning two chips is yeaah, you gotta play the game to win the chip. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? And so it's the same thing, like you got guys who are the greatest of all time, but because they didn't get that chip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to win by a lot. Like, so if I'm coaching, like I like to win by 20 and then y'all start playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, playing the round, the passers, the alley-goos. Don't play around till we up by 20. Now, but, all I really want is one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Them guys, man, they made a big move with, uh, Jewel Holiday. That was probably the biggest move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I kind of ate my words because in, in, in, in, when you look at his whole career, he's really, really talented. And so we could have used him on the next. I just underestimated him. So this, I learned from that to just,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watch. No sir. I watch. I know who's good, who's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so what you gotta understand is that, you know, if they hot on the gram because they wore a hot outfit to the game and shit like that, that don't mean nothing. It's about the results on the court. I say that a lot about him all the time because I think, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's sad that this is where we at in America, right? Then it works against you that you're so humble. That you're so much a cool guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? Like, I don't, I don't look at it like that. I look at, and you guys had a perfect testament because you have an under man, everybody been hurt. You guys are way too little to be winning all these games the way you are. I'm telling you, but everybody plays their part to make it happen. And we got to salute the coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's style is like that and you bought into that. You know, y'all really playing some old school basketball. Y'all playing some old school basketball. And it's crazy because we thought


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? They, they, they, you know, they're getting these crappy wins. Sometimes it's ugly. Sometimes it ain't. Everyday somebody else is, is a hero. You know what I mean? That's old school basketball, man. That's not the new school. Listen, I'm a Knicks fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, since your father played, you messed up my training. You're terrible, man. You guys are terrible. But, uh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since I've seen our team travel across them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I live across the street from the arena, so it's just too many, uh, you know, the plane ride from Miami to New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the Knicks, they started with the new regime with Leon Rose and World Wide West.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was unbelievable. It was Robin Hood. It was, uh, Cinderella. It was like, you just couldn't believe it. Like, you were like, nah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was sick. It was sick. But I felt betrayed as a Nick fan when, uh, they let him go somewhere else because he, I mean, at that time he was a glimmer of hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was like, we ain't had nothing moving like that. And then you get somebody Lil' Sanity and you just trade him. That was, that was very sad. The trading of Lil' Sanity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Insane moments was watching Jordan play the Knicks, but I was, I was broke, so I would be up a deck, up a deck, and he was, he was this little. When I'm watching him, you know, one thing I do every time I go courtside is I pray a lot and thank you God, and I look up to the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the, to the Raptors and be like, yo, I used to be up there. You know what I'm saying? So I'm so blessed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be able to sit court side, but I used to be up there for that for the Michael Jordan was this little ball and in the garden, you know what I'm saying? And I used to actually scout tickets. So I've been to more Nick games than probably your average person. So I used to scout tickets in Yankees. They Tracy, Tracy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Morgan. Tracy Morgan was a scalper. I met him scalping. Tickets. It's so much fun scalping tickets. Running from the cops, hustling. You know, you buy a ticket. Somebody said, the way this works, I don't know if y'all know how it goes. Somebody bought four tickets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, if you don't know what the Apollo is, is they could be brutal to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I went over there and I won four weeks in a row, amateur night, in Harlem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And every time I replay it in my mind, they just went crazy. I don't know how to explain it to you. Every time I came out, they were just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 20 years after Lean Back, the Apollo said, yo Joe, pull up to the Apollo, let's do, uh, family, uh, Fat Joe and family. And you know, everything I do, you know, we over-promote. I mean, we work harder than everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to celebrate the fans and give them a show they never saw, like a real hip hop Hamilton and Cirque du Soleil. So we had that joint moving almost a week. I don't think the DJ test move ever had to really DJ. So every record he played, the artist was singing the record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deluxe, a dip set, Lil Ken, Mary J, uh, Mello was out there, we had C.L. Smooth do reminisce, um, M.O.P.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Peter Guns, we have Melly Mel, the OG, OG, OG. I mean, if I forgot somebody, I'm sorry, Ashanti was with us. Nature did ban from TV, so I brought the planet Earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and then we went outside because to me Harlem was, was really the thing in the eighties. So I had the whole block lined up with the old school wide-body beamers and benzes and the Suzuki sidekicks and this and that. I just wanted the whole nostalgia of like, yo, when, when the Apollo and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care where you was from, if you was black in America, you wanted to get to Harlem. And so people were free, people were stylish, people were fly. You know, Harlem is like the fashion plate. You know, a very famous story is Tommy Hilfiger used to ride through Central Park, through Harlem,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, part of New York City, but for me it was, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm still in the dream. You know, if it wasn't for these guys, I wouldn't have came out my house today. You know, it's like, no, no, I'm dead serious. I wouldn't have came out my house. I'm just absorbing it and all the right people hit me up and tell me y'all was history. You made history. And that's what I wanted to do. Give New York City one of the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest moments in hip hop history and I think we did it yesterday. It was, it was insane. And guys who didn't come, they were on the text, like Nas, 50, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I also knew, you know, I'm texting with Nas and 50 and them and they like, yo, we really, I'ma, I'ma pull up. I'ma, I'ma be like, I'm in my back of my mind, not telling nobody, but I'm like, yo, these guys step up in here, it's gonna go crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I wouldn't say still. I mean the South got it. You know, there's no question ATL got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when I heard his album, the records he was making was bigger than, you know, there's hits and then there's hits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, with that being said, let me just say, uh, Migos, uh, my favorite rap group of this whole era, uh, I think they'll go down in the Hall of Fame, um, for this era of music, you know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, these are guys that I really thought were, I really think are really, really, really, really, really dope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why fight the time when you can rewind the time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, if we're going into a money conversation, it's all the people who ever put out a product, no matter what the product was, if it was rock, if it was this, it was that, it's always a product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, so I've been getting white hair since I was 26 and I was using other products and it wasn't really right. And so I teamed up with, uh, it's a $10 billion company and said, y'all want to make a men's grooming for, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For men, you know, to get them the beard coloring or the hair coloring. And they at first told me, they were like, you know, there's no money in that. And then she went and looked it up and said, yo,

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really worth watching. Just cause like when you're playing you don't, you don't think about it. Like it's just like you're, you put in so many reps, like it's just, it's a regular thing. Like no matter, you know, what time of the game it is, if it's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once you, once you start thinking and like overthinking, it's, you're, you're, like everything you're doing, like you're analyzing and then you, it's just, there's no good gonna come out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guarding taller guys is a little more exhausting. I don't mind running around screen throwing all that. That's not exhausting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when, when you're guarding those guys who like to operate in like the post, mid-post area and you're just physical, like that's when like I start getting, I get tired cause you have to like handle getting hit, handle bumps, doing all those kind of things and it's like, if it's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I get the rebound and I just run down the court like a bat out of hell, uhm, that's when I start getting tired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The funniest thing is like, when you go to games, and like during a time-out, when they have like, when they bring a fan down and they have them shooting, you know, three-pointered a lot,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You rarely ever see someone go out there and just like make shots. Like they're like air balling shots, they're doing those kind of things. So it's always funny cause it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh now, sometimes it's kinda like, oh now you see how hard, you know, now you see how hard it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do have a question for you, right? I've always been fascinated about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you give us like an insight of like the zone that you go into when you're about to, when, you know, when you're acting in a scene or like what do you, what, what goes through your mind mentally? Like as you like process of like how you're going to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, say this line, how are you going to react this way? How are you going to show, you know, which facial expressions that like, the zone that you go into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it all depends, like this, this is my, what, seventh year in the league. TIBS is my...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fifth or sixth. Sixth head coach. Fifth or sixth. I think it was. So for me it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's interesting, just cause like I said, like everyone has their own style. He's, actually him and Stan Van Gundy are very similar, uhm, in a lot of, in a lot of ways, but uhm, just kinda like you said, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There be times where I'm wondering something, I'm questioning something, I'm just like, you know what, like, this is the scheme, this is what we're gonna do, cool. But then there's other coaches where it's like, like Tibbs, he has you prepared, but then if you have questions,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and you feel not comfortable with something, you know, we can make adjustments. Sometimes coaches are just like, I get that, but this is what we're doing, and that's it. So it's, it takes a little bit of getting used to, and I think, you know, part of it is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The longer you get in the league, you know, the more your voice is a little bit more, you know, sturdy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk. Yeah, get, I have to get, whatever it is, I have to say, I just have to get off my chest. Right. So like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, you know, like whatever Tibbs wants me to do, like I'ma go run through a wall to do it. But like, there's just times I'll just be yelling, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll have Joe Ingles on me who's like the most unathletic player in the NBA and I'll just like be in the corner with like not in action. So I'll just be, you know, I'll go into the bathtub like I got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe Ingle's on me, he can't do anything, he's unathletic, he can't da da da da. And then like, I say it and then I'm like, alright cool, then I go back into the huddle. Uhm. And he'll let, he'll let you do that. Yeaah, he left me just kinda just, cause he knows like, I'mma just let Josh just, kind of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Jaylen said, just go in the corner and yeaah, just yell and curse and, you know, throw whatever and then, he's gonna come back and whatever I ask him to do, he's gonna do it, 100%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seamless in terms of work ethic, you know, how they approach a game, you know, to, you know, to joking around. And I think, you know, that's the big thing with us is like, we, we have a good culture and, you know, obviously credit to, to Leon and Tibbs, Wes, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, you know, everything just kinda just fit in well just in terms of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, uhm, where I fit in, I think I fully, like, we get a fully healthy team. I'm the guy that's gonna go out. Defend, rebound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt like my game changed a little bit, like college I wanted to score when I first got into the league the first couple years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I just like, I wanna, I wanna play defense, I wanna score. Like that was the main thing. And then I got...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was in New Orleans and I was with Willie Green, he put me in a position where it was like, I have, it was a little bit more of like a, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playmaker, decision maker role where it was like I can get into a slot and I can attack the rim or shoot or pass into all those kind of things and I, I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Felt like I started to enjoy getting into the lane and like making assists or finding guys open, doing those kind of things. So now, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I find a little bit more joy in that and I think it's, it helps to a certain extent. Sometimes it also hinders because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll catch, I'll catch the ball and I might be open and I just, I'm not even looking at the rim cause I'm trying to find an action to get someone, like someone to shout or someone involved. So, you know, that's my style and I think it's helpful for what we have, but sometimes like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it might hinder because sometimes I'll be wide open and I'm just like, mind's going like, you know, a hundred miles out, like where, where, where can I get, where is Jaylen or where is Tay, where can I get a handoff or ball screen or whatever. And then, you know, I might be open, I don't shoot it and sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that might be the best shot we could get on that possession. That's when I say shoot the ball. Yea, and then that's when Jerelyn curses me off for not shooting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really all, like, it just, it really all depends on just like, the, you know, personnel and, you know, where you are in the season, where your team is, where, where other guys, like for example, like the first,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when Quinn was on the bench, like the first couple games on the bench, like, you know, he was running with, you know, we were running together and I was like, my biggest thing on my mind, I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care if I shoot or score the ball. Like I'm going to, I'm finding him. I'm going to find him and try to get him open shots. So it's like, you know, certain, you know, things that like now obviously we're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terrible shots, but it's always about finding like the middle ground and that's always like the constant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but like, we joke around a little, like, with each other a little bit about it, but like, we don't, like, we don't put too much into it. I think it's more internal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. You got the ruthless cause you over there counting, I was just going to let him just keep naming it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say OG, I would say Ananobe. He was really disappointed that I didn't say him by his regular name. So OG Ananobe wanted me to tell you that one of his favorite movies was A Long Came Paul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, that's, that's terrible. Just gassing up a little bit, you know? Yeah, just saying. But, now we're talking about Dodgeball. Dodgeball was like one of my favorite movies growing up. Thanks, yeah. It was one of my favorite movies.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, there was times where I'm like, yo, I should, I should get this appeal. This shouldn't cost me, you know, whatever money that it cost me. Uhm, and then there was some where they would be like, yo, you know, the, you know, a rep from the MBPA would be like, yo, so you got a tech, do you want to appeal this? And I'll be like,

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are you looking at me like that bro? I feel like I'm just waiting for you to like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were there skills that you picked up like in your youth over there that you look back now being in the league, you're like oh I'm glad that I had to do this or I'm glad that I learned this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was immediately noticeable, like, night and day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other, uh, like, uh, guys in the league from Germany, did you all grow up playing with each other?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even when the Nets are really good, New York is gonna be like a next town. I feel like they say similar stuff in LA about the Lakers. Did you feel that being on the Clippers? Like did it feel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had, uhm, Julius on and we asked like why he came to New York or why he came to New York and he said because everything that's happening now he already envisioned.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a temple. When you go there, you should not do any kind of a mischievous things because I was a kid and almost like a degree time. So when I came here.

[Assistant] We all see the beauty or fancy things outside, maybe in articles or blogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We never know the inner truth or the actual side of the entrepreneurs. So this podcast is about that. So I'll take a few minutes of my time to actually ask you and please give me the best answers that you can give.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was started in a dining table. It was just started with 20 lakhs of uh, uh, amount as an investment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I know about your journey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was a book launch. You were talking about venture capitalists at that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are not even understanding the concept of EBITDA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my overall experience, most of the startups I've seen face issues and mistakes, but when it comes to vendor management...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what I've seen so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that is the reason we at SPIO have started a new program, KS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But no one tells that my schooling or my intermediate or my graduation helped me a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I was talking about the education system and all, one of the underrated habits for everyone is book reading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of those 4-5 books which I tried to read and one of the best book is Meera Asana book, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I keep telling the guests who are sitting here, not everyone will get a chance to talk to you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is the main motto for my podcast as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could not complete the book yet, but I'll definitely complete and maybe I'll share a video or something on my social media handles. Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can actually relate to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uh, it's like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, every, every day, every minute there is a requirement of, I mean, harder, I mean, too much learning. Like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not getting a right source for learning NLP and that's a great thing from your side with respect to the book I'm talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I ask you a question like, uh, what do you look at a company's valuation or how do you define your valuation thought process? Good question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I strongly had this point to ask you. Of course, to be honest, I was very conscious until I came here. You made me very comfortable. Thanks for being like that. I'm glad. I'm glad. So, 2014 if I'm not wrong, Mr. Krishna has taken charge in the company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't play in the NCAA tournament though. Yeah, as right now it's an alternative. That's going to be tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's going to be tough. You know all them traditional coaches, they trying to win them chips. They solidify them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you said, it's a changing of the guards. Things are changing now. Like we got Nick Saban. I don't know why everybody was so mad at him saying what he was saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like yea, nigga, you had the advantage for years, but he's a hundred percent right. The climate has changed. Money changes everything. Like everything else does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nigga, you know what the vibes was. Damn, all you're gonna say, I'm surprised you wore them today. They back now, I don't even feel real no more, man. We was out on the road, he ain't have them on. They don't feel real. Damn, he ain't living his rounds? Nah, they don't feel real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He still started you. Yea, he did. He still started you. But I mean, damn, he knew Dennis since he was fucking 20. Yea. They knew each other forever. Of course they're going to have a better relationship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you mean? Who would you rather have as a point guard coming off your bench?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Off the bench? Dennis, off the bench. We'll start now like D-Low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think D-Lo get a lot of flak, obviously because of the shit that he did, but D-Lo can hoop. Like we talked about, playing with LeBron is very hard. For him to still be efficient at the times, he needs to be efficient on that team, bro, and other places and situations like D-Lo was killing in Brooklyn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] D-Lo should've just, I'm keeping it real. He should've tried to stay in Brooklyn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or stay in a place where he could be a guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] L.A. he is, but it's still Brian, still A.D., and you always gonna get the blame. Like Russ got the blame. It's always the third, fourth nigga gonna get the blame. So you need to stay in a place where you can be the guy. Like Minnesota, he was gonna get the blame cause you can never do good in Minnesota.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just being real. Like you gotta be a person. Like Aunt Edwards is such a dominant force that he can make. You need somebody just to compliment him. Like Mike do a great job of just complimenting him. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Him and Kat, you know what I mean? People don't expect too much. You know, you get 13, 14, you make your open shots. But D-Lo was like, he was there with Kat and Ant wasn't him yet. So it was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] D-Lo ain't doing this. D-Lo sad, we need to get rid of D-Lo. But when we was there, we need D-Lo, we need D-Lo, we need D-Lo. And it's like, bro, just, I told them, I told them, I said, boy, don't come over here. You won't do. They calling your name, boy. You gonna get over here. It's gonna get spooky. You gonna hate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he got somewhere where he appreciated, like right now I think LA appreciated him because he's so efficient. He can make shots. He got, he got so much game. And I think people starting to realize it like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But sometimes, you know, big cities, they just want the big names. They want trade. It just don't fit there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess culturally he don't fit there. I think the only thing that sucks about it is that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, every time he's went somewhere and got going, he had to leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, not, not that everybody got like, like, I remember at one time, nigga, she's black. Go to Orlando. Orlando is like, no, you ain't going to Orlando. Yeah. Orlando. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, you know what I mean? Everybody be like, oh, I can go here and get my shit off. Like Orlando, all right. Toronto, they put the ball in Scottie Barnes' hand. I wouldn't be mad to be, I wouldn't be mad to see D-Lo in Toronto though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be honest. Okay, so who'd I got starting at the one out there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quickly? Quickly, but, quickly nice too. And young. And young, but I'm just saying it seems like that they kinda, everybody got, it's always killers in the league, everywhere you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, they got Scoob. And they got Anthony Simons. So they're back for it already. But he would be nice in San Antonio. He would. He would play great with Wimby. I would rather see Trey Young with Wimby, but D-Lo ain't a bad second option for Wimby. I would love to see Trey Young and Wimby together. That was all, that pick and roll was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absurd. I ain't gonna lie. I am sick of seeing Wimmy get looked off for bullshit. I know we say this a lot on this podcast, but I've been watching a lot of San Antonio games recently, and they be looking him off to do the craziest shit in this unheard of. Niggas is trying to get paid, bro. Niggas is young, trying to get money. I ain't gonna lie. You know where D-Lo would be nice? Fuckin' DC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said Chicago and you say DC. No, I'm saying DC cuz...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] D-Lo, like, if you put the ball in his hands, he can make shit happen. Like, when he was in Brooklyn, and you can't really name too many other people that was on that Brooklyn team with him. Like, I don't know if Brooke Lopez or no niggas, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you look at, if you put the ball hands and just let him rock with a coach that get up and down, he's special bro. He could be special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coolz, coolz, coolz gon' do what he do. Did you see Jordan pull up all that oopz of coolz?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Him for trade, him for Tyus Jones would be a great trade. Tyus fit the Lakers more than D-Lo do. For sure. That's a terrible trade. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tigers don't turn the ball over, he make threes, he make his shots, he's efficient, and then he don't need the, he don't need the ball to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying straight up, but I'm just saying like- Make the paperwork match. The Wizards need that nigga.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lakers need Disney. Like, you know what I'm saying? The Wizards need a lot. I respect that. Yeah. That's crazy Jordan Poole coming off the bench. On that team is insane to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the fact that he came out and explained that he was just like, I got comfortable in my role and just come and do what I'm supposed to do. I ain't out here to be facilitating and running plays. I'm out here to do what I'm supposed to do. And I was like, I fuck with that. But y'all have only one team game. Do whatever the fuck you need to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they seen real fast, like you are Jamal Crawford. Right. You come off the bench, you instant offense. Absolutely. You can have games where you get 50. You can average 20 off the bench. You Jamal Crawford. And that's his career. He's going to be Jamal Crawford. And there's nothing wrong with that because Jamal Crawford has a fabulous career. He's one of the coldest motherfuckers Hoopers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's how Jordan Poole is. He wanted to call this hooper. So if you just put him in a gym, he gonna be like, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And obviously we know how that played out there, but I think that Golden State really misses him. They could have worked that out. Nah, it was not working out. No, I'm talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we got, we got in a scuffle and I might have lost the fight, but we got in a scuffle. Cool. But if you knock me out, like you put me to bed, he went to sleep. He caught him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, what? I have to come to this. You either have to let me pistol with you. Something has to happen, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had to get out of there. How, how I go to my girl? Like I'm walking in a nigga grabbing my girl ass. What you gonna do about a nigga?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'mma always, I'mma fire first. I'mma always been that person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nigga get on my ass afterwards, it's cool, but I know I got my lick in, fuck it. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He grabbed him and said, what the fuck? I'm just going to fire. Boom. Fire on him. Okay. And he might, he might be a big soft nigga. He might be like, oh shit, why the fuck you hitting me bro? So I'm going to just fire first. Bug that nigga.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the fuck wrong with you, bruh? What the fuck you gonna do about it? What you gonna do?
