The Lakers leave the series three to one. Game five.

It's Wednesday, Nla, Joe. I thought Lebron said the temple early about high. They were on some bull drive. He was on some bull drive early and his teammates followed suit. The only guy that came to play the night was d A. Yeah, this is what we've been looking for. Nin to twelve, one on one from the free throw line, ten rebounds, you only had two turnovers. This is the da we were looking for. Yeah, everybody go ahead, Joe,

You hear me, Hey, yeah, give them a look, you give them a little life.

Hey, they gonna play better. It's probably the best game they played all series.

It is.

But you said something very interesting, Joe. When you give them life, you gotta jump on them and not give them a reason to play. They gave him a reason to play. Yeah, all of a sudden, you started turning the ball over. I don't know why, Marcus, Marcus, how many times are you gonna try to jump to throw the ball out of bounds and they're gonna bring it back. Now you've done that. That's about the third of the

Joe, Oh, Joe, And so you let them play.

Okay, I'm gonna give you guys five minutes to try to cut this thing down to ten and then we'll go from there. But what had you seen. They couldn't make a three, They couldn't make any shots. They just constantly turned the ball over. They shot good from the floor when they weren't turning it over. When you have twenty turnovers and with five minutes still to go in the third quarter, you're not winning that game.

Period.

It's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough. You put so much pressure on yourself. Man, I thought the Lakers would have, you know, came out on and really tried to put these boys away. But obviously, like like I said, man, you hey, you give a young team like this who hadn't made shots this whole series, Ojo, Now they started to make a few shots.

What's gonna happen? Get excited, get confident, you go.

But also also, Uncle Joe, you know, we can't discredit God damn the Rockets now, especially defensively. We're talking about all the turnovers that the Lakers had, some on their own, but hell, crashing, the crashing, the goddamn boards. The defense that the Rockets played made the Lakers turn the ball over most of the time. There were there a few, there are a few casions Lebron turned over. There a

Yeah, I mean, let me let me have that. Yeah.

I feel you on that, Ojo. You definitely got to get a rockets, credit bro. They came and they competed. I mean, at some point they was gonna have a pretty decent game, and tonight was the night.

Yeah.

Matter of fact, I think the Lakers was chilling you hear me, Joe Welling, Hey, corporations, sponsors, they had bills to pay.

So we don't we don't.

We don't want to sweep this thing.

We don't want to Let's get let's get the boards a game and extended a little bit so we can keep making his money. I understand that I'm not listening. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Conspiracy theorists. I'm just I'm just come on that.

Hey, listen, I agree with you on the bottle lebron and them turnovers and eight turnovers. You know that The disheartening thing is it's because you know, he know better. Yes, you know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, I'm sure if he looked, if he sees the stat sheet, he gonna tell him say, he gonna man, ain't no wearing here. I could be out here getting no eight turnovers. I gotta be better because we put the ball in your hands. He that just can't happen for them to.

Win, No, Joe, he tried to damn a three quarter court bounce pass between two defenders and try to hit Ruy on a dead sprint.

Hey, hey, hey, you know he think he got a little magic get him now, Yeah, I know he think he got a little magic getting But at.

That point in the game, was it what's the reward?

Oh yeah, you're like, oh, you see that pass, but you turn it over and the thing and and and and look you think you shoot fifty percent. You shot eighty one percent from the free throw line, which isn't bad. You rebounded the team, but you turned the ball over twenty three times. The uh the Rockets had seventeen steals.

Yeah, seventeen steals.

Yeah, that's crazy.

They were competing. They were competing today.

And this is not to take anything, but the Lakers weren't competing. You can't tell me you saw you've we've seen the Lakers over the last week, the last week.

The society lived last week. So it's eight days. Yeah, you tell me, at what point game did you see them?

And you're like, oh, man, they didn't compete like they did Game one, Game two, they damn sure didn't compete like they did Game three, because Game three, they they were down six with under thirty and they came back.

You won.

That is competing. That what that performance that they put on today? Yeah, I don't know what that was. All you did was give this team confidence. Not this team believed they can beat.

Your assay, you gonna have you, Hey, Joe, Oh Joe, they're gonna catch Hell close them if they try to close, they're gonna catch Hill on Wednesday night, you think so?

Oh yeah? Yeah?

And kt KT playing Wednesday.

Hungh, he probably should be yeah yeah, hey.

Hey, Lebron was probably tired, Uncle Joe, you think you think you were signed?

Of course, because he came out trying to facilitate. He was trying to get everybody else going first, and then he's like, okay, when y'all need me a little late, but then it's too late. You're already down fifteen, you down seventeen, it's too late now.

Yeah, you out of rhythm? Yeah, hey, Lebron is a rhythm guy.

If you notice Lebron games, when he's going good, he'll be able to keep it going. But he's not one of those guys that cannot that that doesn't get it good going early and then be able to pick it up. That's not what he is, nah, hey, and that's why that's why he got off to that slow start when he came back early in the year.

Uh.

You know, obviously the Lakers have been playing great. You got Luca and Ar leading away, and he didn't want to get in the way of that. And that's what I was telling you. I'm like, Man, he come out with this facilitating mode early. It's hard for him to kind of get in rhythm and get going when when he needed to. That's why the first what the first twenty some games, he was asking like eighteen to twenty points, you know, when it could have been it could have

Fellas.

Yeah, I think I said, I'm telling you what I think they think. Oh, I think I'm saying if they feel like KD gonna be ready by Wednesday, man, that's that's that's that's a few days KD.

Gonna be ready.

I think they really feel like if they can go to LA and get one just to bring it back to Houston.

Yeah, hey, un you said something interesting too, man, you said something interesting. You think about Lebron when he came out of high school and where his game was high, his game has evolved to this point, And you just said something that I would think because he's so good at what he's what he's done, being able to evolve, being able to adapt, you know, to to change, and the way the game has changed, and as he's gotten older, his game has had to change along the way as well.

And you said he's a rhythm guy.

That he can't he can't facilitate and just pick up and just pick it up right away. That he has to have himself in the rhythm just to get going. You would think someone like him doesn't need that.

Nah, it's hard, it's hard, O Choe.

He needed to see a couple of shots go down early, yeah, and then you know he got I mean, I think he had a couple of assists before he even took any shots. Yeah, and then he got a couple of shots, and then he went back to facilitated. He smoked another layup kind of got him out of rhythm. He smoked two layups got him out of rhythm. As a guy, if you kind of like out of rhythm, you just need to see the ball go in. Yeah, And once he sees the ball.

Go in, I was like okay, because I was like, okay making his free throws tonight.

I was like, okay, that's a good side there. You're not you're not clanking the free throws. And then for whatever reason, he just couldn't get anything to fall. U turn around, his turnaround wasn't going. Then he get it back again and he hit the side of the backboard. The three ball didn't fall for him. It was just they were just out of source tonight. And there's yeah,

So it's a lot on his plate. But give the Rockets credit.

The Rockets like, we're not getting swept, We're not going down without a fight. This is what I may have been trying to compete. Whatever happens happens, Just compete and let the chips fall where they may. You see guys getting on the floor. You see guys getting in the passing lane. You see a lot of deflections. That means that they were competing tonight.

Yeah, and you don't see guy, you don't see the rockets out there with too much indecision on what it is they're trying to do. They're very decisive on their shot taking, you know what I mean, being aggressive, attacking, attacking the guys on the offensive end and defensively, they just more physical on the picking rolls, on the switches. You know, they just trying to cause havoc man and to to kind of go back to Lebron.

He don't.

It's like when he started the game, you can kind of tell what kind of night is gonna be for him, because if he's not assertive right away in the first five to six minutes, Ojo, you can tell like he's just coming out picking rolls just to pass. He ain't coming out yes, be aggressive or none of that. He just coming off to make a play, make a pass. And it's kind of maybe it was fatigue that that that's kind of got him. I think these couple of days of rest, you know, a guy like that, obviously

And and and uh and and debate in Golden State. They brought game six back. Now the pressure, all that pressure is on Golden State. They don't want to come back.

No, sil.

Remember no team has ever come back from O three. Now, eventually it's going to happen. We've only seen it in I think one sport. I think baseball. The Yankees was up three to zero on the Red Sox. Red Sox came all the way back because as you lose games, pressure more and more pressure starts to mount. Yeah, hey, damn, okay, they ended up getting one. Now they come back, they get another one in your place. Now you got pressure on you. They go back and get another one. At

Here.

He coming up that pick, looking to get downhill, and yeah, he might pass it, but it's gonna be a lobbed to d or Jackson Hayes because he's gonna look pressure, look to put pressure on the defense.

He's got you, he's got you.

He got and Joe, they got forty eight hours the rest right. Yes, they're gonna be fine. They gonna they're gonna close it out.

Then think about it. They probably gonna have aar probably gonna come back. I was I could see a scenario where r is playing. Yeah, I think are gonna come back.

Hey, Joe, I don't think that's smart though.

He ain't got but a real real.

I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

I mean, i'd rather, you know, reserve yourself, just stay all over health to get all the way back healthy.

Just wait for the next series because i mean, look, listen, you can't change that on yo. Hey the series three one.

Now you know the Rockers don't have enough firepower to come back from you.

You make it seem like the Lakers got a full got a full roster if you do realize most of these guys started the backups.

Right, yeah, yeah, okay, Hey, hey, word on the street is Steven Adams over there looking good too? So hey, hey they get they get a couple of guys back, a couple of venching guys back.

O yo, yeah, anything a shake, bro.

Game five is a pivotal game for the Lakers, and I'm gonna just keep it real. If I'm if I'm the Lakers, I'm throwing, I'm throwing the whole kitchen.

Sing bro, I'm treated like Game seven.

Hell yeah, I ain't trying to go back to Houston, bro.

All best off.

Hey man, he was the ref to knight Man, who was the ref acting like he like like he another player would it looked like, man, yeah, hey, he has serned himself too much into the game.

Just man, come on with what we doing?

O Joe? O Joe.

He trying to He's trying to take his ass home. They out here trying to fight. It's the end of the game, game over. With all this test stocks strong out here. You got guys who want to get a chance to play, you know, shout out to him.

I got three row and Nick Smith Jr. To raizor backs for the Lakers. They got a chance. Hey man, hey, it's a lot of test star strom sitting over on that bench.

Bro, Hey, show coach, I'll compete, trying to ref trying to go home.

Joe, Yeah, you ain't.

Trying to go home, so he ain't. He ain't for the deal with all that, y'all. Every trip down court, somebody in each other's face trying to fight. Damn, you gonna take your and to the back, You take your ad to the bank.

We go home tonight. You're right, that's that's basically what he said. Hey, you get out, get out?

Oh you w t Yeah. I don't want to hear it now, don't know.

Ain't no explaining, man, We got three minutes left and the last fol trip. It's almost being a little little scrap man.

Please don't sit back there now.

Hey, hey Joe, he looking at like what I do. Don't worry about it. You figured out in the back.

Listen.

The only one, the only one that was worthy of being thrown out was eight. And I'm not sure why he threw his elbow up there like.

That, because he got because if you look at a slinsh and goon, he's always trying to dis lodge you off that square. If you notice he's coming in right and he hey, his little body, I mean you look at it up top of me, like he ain't got nothing, but he's got a little body.

If it's little, all his strength is in his little body. If you notice he comes in, he moving guys off that spot. Yeah, hey, this is this is it made dokah. This is the type of guy he is his Hey, look, he been trying to get his player, especially these young guys, to take on his personality, you know, junk it up, you know, making an ugly game.

Bro.

Stop letting these dudes just get to the spot, you know, push shove, catch you at the catch him at a three point line making work to get to this block. Hey man, when you look, when you look at all these series in the NBA, the physicality just goes up by by each and every game. How many times y'all we see somebody on the floor tonight. Hell how many

Now, we ain't going. We ain't going. You're gonna put this ailbow?

Would you say Joe didn't not finna come in here?

What swag and surf all game?

You know?

Yeah?

Hey, hey, hey, Joe, I made told him we ain't finish see this tonight.

Now, none of that. I want to see if you do that one time, I'm snatching your ass out the game. I none of this. Yeah, none of that.

Yeah, yeah, hey, y'all see at the end of the game. Yeah, they couldn't even walk to the locker room and the boy walking by the up in their shoulders and everything. Man, we gotta get into your head, yeah, we we gotta find some way to gain an edge over you Lakers.

Even though y'all up in the series. We just want a game.

I got my young boys who gaining super confidence from this hey man, who knows? Who knows what can happen in game five? Let's let's see, let's do all the little things we can to piss them off. I don't care what it is to aggravate them, you know, make them get out their game. You see Aiden went to the back. Let's see we can get somebody else kicked out.

And the thing is, you see, uh Luke is getting hard and harder for Luke to put them numbers up.

Eh yeah, yeah, hey the physicality.

Physicality, and what do they do on the other end, they're tacking it. Yeah, they're not letting them rest. They put who they put in the pick and roll every time him, Yeah it is him or eighting because they know Aiden wants to drop, so they know they're gonna be get able to get any shot they want. If they want to get a three, they want to get a one, a one dribble inside the three. Gonna be able to get that because eight and he's not wanting to come up now. He wanted to catch it.

Yeah.

Yeah, And when you look at when you look at Luke Canard. He was due for, you know, a game like this, Okay, I mean hell. He had been shooting fifty three fifty four from from the field and from the three, averaging twenty one a game in this series.

So I kind of I ain't.

Gonna say I expected it, but I didn't expect for him to continue to play at that level. Now, going back home game five, I can see him picking back up, you know, getting things going again, getting things ripped up, because they all lost a lot of minutes in that game four, I mean game three.

Yeah, they're on the older side. They're not young, like like those guys in Houston. How all this Thompson twenty one? Shin Goon probably ain't more than twenty four to twenty five. Yeah, and them boy got batteries in their leg. Yeah, sill Man, what shin gooon is?

Twenty three? How all this Thompson? He came to twenty one? Yeah about twenty one?

Only twenty three?

Twenty three Smith Smith cannot be Lebron played against Smith junior. Lebron played against his dad.

I did you.

Play His dad played at LSU when I was in Arkansas. Thompson's twenty three Shoon twenty three, Howl Smith Smith twenty two. Damn So the kid that Lebron's son damned old than those guys, so he old him to be their dad. He out there playing against them, man, them leg think them leg don't bounce back like that him, who you are you infit the bounce back like that, that kind of those kind of minutes under that kind of intensity.

Right, it's tough, bro.

It's tough because you because you probably not probably, but you're playing more minutes than you played in the regular season because oh.

Way way boy, they kept Hi Moron thirty three, thirty four Joe. Yeah.

And and it's way more intense, you know what I mean, Like, it's way way more inten it's way more physical, you know. It's it's hey, man, it's rough. It's rough when you get older and you playing all the minutes. We seeing Lebron defining, you know, father time, which is great to see. I enjoy watching him play, but you know, at some point sometime it kind of catch up with him. But I think on Wednesday, for sure, Game five fellas, he'll

Stem, the massage therapy, the stretching.

He probably gonna sleep in his hyper Yeah, he probably gonna sleep in his little hyper bear chain.

Oh that yeah, yeah, I.

Think it was Tiger that had his whole Tiger had his whole bedroom hyperbaric did it?

Yeah? You ever did that? You have in that hyper bed? Yeah, I've been in the hyperbag chamber. I used to be in it all the time.

Yeah, oh tell you no, sir, Joe.

The extent I went was the cold tub hot about contrast, back and forth for about five minutes, five minutes cold, three minutes hot, five minutes cold.

I did it.

I did it about.

Maybe about four times, back, back, back and forth and everything. Yeah, all that hyper hyper hyper what you said?

Yeah, I ain't with that. But when TiO, when TiO was with us, Joe, yeah, h boy, he do not play boy.

He had the hyperbaric chamber. He had all types of all types of gadgets and caps and capsules.

I'm like, man, what is you doing? Oh yeah, hey, he don't play about it.

You think they do it? What you think these guys doing now? Hyperbaric chamber red light therapy south south bound, Brandy.

All those quarterbacks doing it, all those guys doing it, that's what they're doing it.

I mean, think about the kind of money you make it, right, why would you not do it? Yeah, you're right, trying to prolong their career. Yeah.

If somebody say, okay, I'm making here, I am how old Chase twenty six, I'm making forty million twenty six, who can say I can't be making forty.

Five at thirty thirty? Hell?

Yeah, and you know, and you know more, now you know more. A lot of this stuff that's coming out wasn't no red light when we came in. Wasn't no hyperbaric chamber when we came in. And as guy started to understand, man, what y'all do you know? That's why everybody goes tray? Where do you think? Where is the the Olympic training facility? There is in Colorado Springs? Yes, altitude over seven thousand. It forces your body to produce more red blood cells because of oxygen.

Yes, sir.

So when you go places, what you see you see Sebastian Sale sub two minutes two hour marathon.

Oh yeah, yeah, ran twenty six point where twenty six miles at four thirty three a mile.

That's crazy.

He was Trent that came in third.

He went sub two minutes, I mean two hours one fifty nine thirty one and another guy went two hours in twenty five, two hours and thirty something seconds.

You heard me, huh you know how? You know how fast? Four minutes and thirty seconds? Every mile is hell.

It's not just one o jo, it's mile after mile, mile after Yeah, I'm talking about you booking.

You gotta be booking.

You gotta remain consistent and once you catch that rhythm, you got to stay there the whole time.

And what stayed there?

Where is he from Kenya? Where did they come from the real valley East East Africa? The legendary kept Kano. They trained at altitude. That's why everybody go to Big Bear, to the boxers where they ojo Big Bear ma'amo. They go to flight, they go to a flax that Arizona, Yeah, seven thousand. They go to high altitude training. It forces the body. You see them they put these masses on because it forces your body. Absolutely accident. Most of the work.

Tell.

The shoes weigh as much as they do, and the shoes weigh ninety seven grams, so they two hundred grams to shoe.

So they left the three hundred grad with shoes on. Yeah.

Yeah, now they're gonna have people to go out there to buy those hot five hundred dollars shoes.

Y'all not fit to run that? Okay?

Hey, that's years and years and years and years of training, years of training.

Hey, hey, that's helldo that was the guy? Hold on?

Yeah?

What that?

Yeah? I think it was the guy. One of the guys.

This was only his first marathon and he was like two hours. So the marathon, you get kenyms and you get the Ethiopias.

Yeah, that's it. He matter of fact, women and men, that's it.

Hey, you probably know better than I do when it comes. And let's say, for reference, the Boston Marathon. Yeah, how many miles is the Boston Marathon.

It's twenty six miles. That's a marathon.

Twenty six miles, okay, yes, and.

That guy just ran a mile. He just ran twenty six miles to less than two hours.

Jesus Christ. Do people understand how far twenty six miles.

Is, well, no running, I think they do when you driving twenty six miles is far? Yeah, But then to keep the pace that he kept every mile for two hours, it's insane.

He's probably running. He's probably running about twelve twelve point two. Just go, hey, just get on your treadmill, turn it up to twelve miles an hour, and just got to stay there as long as you can.

Boy, that's a whole sprint.

But what are you telling?

Everything is a sprint now? It used to be the sprints wor a sprint. Now everything is a sprint. The eight hundred is a sprint, The mile is a sprint, the steeple chase is a sprint. Everything is a sprint.

Look at the women. The women broke the world record. She went to fifteen.

Damn.

They had like six guys at the half marathon was like an hour at the half.

Man, what you gonna eat before something like that? He said he had two slices of bread, he had honey, and he had tea. Wow, that's what he said.

He consumed. Man, that's crazy.

Look, I don't know how you guys have done it, but I've had my heart rate up damn near max one hundred. I will say one hundred and seventy five one hundred and eighty hundred and ninety beats for two and a half hours.

What you're talking about?

If only thing she won't take back is something like like juices or something other than that, anything that that's in a bag,

Some things was.

Said per the Berna phone, and I guess they traced it back to kat I don't know.

I don't know. Chat y'all would know more than I do. Joe, maybe that's something you.

Uh uh, because the other night, I didn't see Katie on the sideline. Now, I saw him tonight on the sideline, but I don't remember seeing him on Friday night.

Joe, did you see do you know? I don't even think he was there. I don't think he was there.

Okay, okay, yeah, okay, but he definitely was there to night though, Okay, yeah, I.

Saw I saw him tonight. I saw him tonight. I don't know. I just I don't. I don't know. I don't either.

You're talking about the Burner account. They talking about it. You talking about burn a phone.

The burn account that he was tweeting from. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah.

I mean I've heard a little bit about it, but I don't really know much about it. I'm gonna be honest with you. And this was reached this was this year, right, Yeah, I think this was around the All Star game.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean so he used a burner account just to defend himself.

Probably, yeah, defend himself. And I guess he said something critical about his teammates. What I think he was critical of his teammates.

So you think they take you think them, especially the young dude, y'all know, they take offense to that. They may not come out and say it, but when you're young, man, you you you hear some you know, any any negative criticism.

You know, young guys like that Joe like that that they probably look up to.

Oh yeah for sure. And it's your teammate, Hell yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean we all would have felt so type of way if our teammate says something about us, because this is the family. Your you know, your family say something about even though that's not blood. But you're in the mere fact because we always take the high road with our family. We might not like the guy, but he the best guy. He the best teammate X Y and Z we've ever played with.

I don't rock with him.

He got something going on his place. I ain't going right. That's just the way it is. Everybody. Look, we can be I'm friendly. That doesn't necessarily means i'm your friend, right, that's an l y friendly friends entirely two different things. Everybody in your workplace you're not friends with. You might be friendly, you might be cordial because you see that person on a daily basis.

I ain't gotta rock with everybody.

Wow, Hey, I think people need to be a little bit more. I too.

And Joe he had Katie had a burner phone, right, But yea, he was one of the few. Joe I'm about one of the few. We talk about, one of the greatest scores of all time. One of the few players, regardless of sport, that sit there and engage with the fans. I mean literally sitting there, engaged with the fan, whether it's negative or positive. You know, Katie gonna go back and forth with you. You talk a little trash, You're gonna talk trash back.

Oh, he definitely will, and he always he.

The fact that we talk about this ain't just no regular athlete.

We talk about a superstar.

He's sitting there engaging with us common folk, you know.

So, oh he definitely, Oh he definitely. Oh he definitely definitely.

You say something slick to it, Oh, yeah, he coming at he gonna see it if you write something slick about him.

He's gonna say yes, yes, yes, I think I think that's dope.

I wish I wish more of the superstar athletes were a little bit open and show their personality a little bit more, you know, a little bit often. But they just you know, you know how they they know how they look at us common folks. Man, They don't they don't mess with.

Us like that.

Both stuff that have been in school, Like bro, we can't don't let them drag you down to their level, right because sometimes sometimes that's all people jumping on there to do you try to get you to say something.

You go to a game, they're trying to say something to you to get you out of character. So the best way to stay in character is to not deal with them.

What's the funny thing about it is when I go back and forth, see I'll be on that, I'll be on a cursion Joe, Joe, Joe, I'll be gonna you say something to me, I'm gonna say something back anyway.

And that's really not me going out of character. That is my character. Yeah, that's always been me. So it's like okay, yeah, that's old shoe.

Well, as a fan, the only thing they're trying to do really is get your attention. Yeah.

And once they get your attention, and now they feel like they got you. You feel me, they'll say any damn thing to get your attention to.

Hey.

Hey, I'm gonna tell you it's some fans I ain't who do their homework. Boy, Hey, hey, I'm serious. And when you come to town, yeah, they gonna know, and they gonna, hey, they gonna have signs up, they gonna be calling your name, and yeah, they gonna do their part.

They know if you got the kids, you know baby mama, they know you know he you mad and you did something slick. It's a different It's different now. I remember when I first got into the league. You know, you might do a little something, report to see you. That wasn't nothing.

Yeah.

Now people, I mean the fans, fans wouldn't even put.

You out there like that.

Now the phone everywhere, man, and.

Now with the camera phone, think about it, camera phone, and and and and what they call that thing?

What I don't have? What I don't have? The uh no?

The what is it?

Email? Email?

Think about how many? Think about how many? How many email and cell phones? Then brought men and women down. He got email, get you Hey, you said you said something perfect? Boy, they email, That's where they get you at See.

You know people don't got to check your phone no more, bro, when they got their email, because they can get all your messages, text messages, phone calls. If they get your email, you think you you want to Yeah, they know every movie.

Boy, they get that forensic and pull up everything. Hey, they pull up every picture you have since Twitter twelve. You think I don't know, I don't know what with cameraphones really came came into existence or whatever.

But I'm saying they pull up everything. Is it a cloud somewhere.

Joe might not be on your phone, but the cloud, and they'll reach up there and pull it out on yours. Hey, it made the world smaller when everybody got the phone, Boy, it did? It seems like automatically assume that when you out because you have you don't have, you know, uh, in a public place the right to privacy.

Not at a public place you're trying to be a hotel. Hotel is private property. So there might be a situation with you know what we see going on with with Brabel, he has I got an expectation of privacy. I got expectation. This is a private property. He's like, you're shooting somebody at their home. I got an expectation of privacy here. Yeah, but you know them people don't care about that. They don't damn day, don't damn.

That I seen old Joe is at the Low's Hotel, that you're trying to be you and trying to be Low.

Just what did they see you there?
