00:00Giannis, he was on his brother's podcast, Thanesis, and he was asked about life in Miami
00:08because there was a video of Giannis recently of him shopping at Costco, and everybody was
00:14like, Giannis shops?
00:16Like, he goes to Costco with his kids?
00:19That's adorable.
00:21But Giannis was asked about this, and he goes, he loves it.
00:26He loves grocery shopping.
00:27So here was Giannis on his brother's podcast.
00:30So we saw a video that went viral.
00:33You're in Costco, and you're grabbing things.
00:35You know, everybody was like, oh, he's in Costco.
00:37You know, regular stuff.
00:38I'm just thinking, like, regular stuff.
00:39But then I want to ask you, like, how is it, you know, life?
00:41I mean, I know it's been, what, a week now?
00:43Not even a week, like, being in a big city.
00:46It's different.
00:47I think Miami's way more faster pace than Milwaukee.
00:51Like, I don't live downtown, so I'm able to, like, have, like, a little bit of peace and
00:55quiet.
00:55But, you know, I'm a dad.
00:57I'm a regular guy.
00:57Like, I go to Costco, and I try to get stuff.
01:00Yep.
01:01You know, like, once I walked in there, I, like, had people coming up to me.
01:04It's like, what are you doing here?
01:06And I was like, I'm just trying to feed my kids.
01:09You went to, like, you go grocery shopping?
01:12I was like, yeah.
01:14But the craziest thing for me is because you guys know, like, I'm off my social media when
01:18I'm preparing for the season.
01:20I walked in the practice, and Pat Riley came up to me.
01:22He was like, oh, yeah, I saw you went to Costco.
01:24I was like, what is he talking about?
01:27How does he know that I went to Costco?
01:28I was, because you hear stories about Pat Riley that he, like, you know, runs the city.
01:32He knows everything.
01:33I mean, like, about Costco, how, you know?
01:36And then I realized that he went viral.
01:38Yeah, this is what I do.
01:40I love the fact that Giannis thinks that Pat Riley has the birds watching Costco.
01:43He does.
01:44He's being watched.
01:47Costco's plain.
01:48That's clean for Riles.
01:49He wanted to know if he was at Tootsies.
01:51Riles is not wasting intel on guys.
01:52He's like, no, man, you were on the internet.
01:55That's so funny.
01:56Yeah, if he was at Booby Trap and all of that, that's when Riles would be like, Giannis, we need
02:01to talk.
02:01Man, I wonder how many runs he has to do to Costco a month.
02:05I mean.
02:06He's a big kid.
02:07He's a big kid.
02:08That's what I'm thinking, you know?
02:10That's the wholesale on that.
02:12You know what is crazy about Costco?
02:14Costco does this thing now where, like, they do, like, the strip cart scan.
02:20They're, like, going over.
02:21They got, like, the guy going,
02:25scanning all of your stuff.
02:27And then he goes, all right, you're done.
02:28I was like, whoa.
02:30I was like, that was a little crazy, man.
02:32He goes, go pay over there.
02:34Done.
02:35Don't you like that?
02:37I was just taking it back.
02:38It was the first time I had been through that.
02:40Like, I think they changed systems.
02:41Because it was, like, normal.
02:43Like, oh, you just go to the self-checkout or you go over to the thing and they go, boop,
02:47boop, boop.
02:47Now it's like they got a whole thing where they take the radar gun and they're scanning the whole cart.
02:51Because you don't really take – you don't get bags at Costco.
02:54You go and get the old boxes.
02:56Yeah.
02:57But I don't – you know what?
02:59I'm not that far away.
03:01So I don't even need boxes.
03:03I just throw it in my car.
03:05You know, I'm not doing that much shopping to where I need to get boxes and all that.
03:12Restaurant Depot is the same way.
03:16You just got to go out there solo with your ribs underneath your arm and, you know, your waters and
03:23stuff like that.
03:24The thing with Giannis is, like, I've seen the viral videos of Messi.
03:27But, like, if Messi really wanted to, I mean, he could throw on, like, a hat and a hoodie.
03:33And he could kind of incognito.
03:35He's kind of blended.
03:36He's tiny.
03:37What's Giannis going to do?
03:39Giannis doesn't even bother with disguise.
03:42He's like –
03:42Do you think that he hits up the little stands?
03:44Because, you know, if he go around people, they're going to say, hey, you play basketball?
03:51And then he'll answer and everybody's going, aren't you, Giannis?
03:54Nope.
03:55I'm an electrician.
03:58Do I think that Giannis hits up the sample stands?
04:00Yeah.
04:01100%.
04:02Yeah, of course.
04:04I think Giannis is one of those guys.
04:05He's going to – he's, like, a scavenger hunt.
04:07It sounds like he really likes Costco.
04:08Because there's people who like Costco.
04:10There's people who love Costco.
04:11You got to get that Costco hot dog.
04:14Oh, yeah.
04:15Those things are delicious.
04:16Got to.
04:17For, like, $1.50?
04:19I'm winning.
04:21I'm winning.
04:22Lucky I don't get one on the way in.
04:26Pat Riley's like, man, I can't even go shopping without Pat Riley spying on me.
04:31It's on the internet, man.
04:32He goes, oh, yeah.
04:36So adorable.
04:37He was that scared of people.
04:38If he lives down there where he lives, is he the most famous person down there?
04:45No, there might be some more famous people.
04:47Right.
04:47There's a lot of money down there.
04:50But is he the most recognizable right now?
04:52Because he's seven foot.
04:53Because he's seven foot.
04:55Like, I mean, even if you have actors or actresses, I'm sure they can, you know.
05:00He can get away with it easier because they're regular people.
05:04He's a giant.
05:05And also, it's sound based on Iguanagate that his kids aren't going to let him not go.
05:10Like, some of their kids are like, well, you're not not going to Costco.
05:13I want to go to Costco with you.
05:14So, he's going to Costco.
05:17It's a giant.
05:21Oh, man.
05:24Rob Howard says, I still like to hear Giannis say Goosey's Galore in both English and Greek.
05:29I don't know how I'm going to get him to do that.
05:31Yeah.
05:32Just ask him.
05:33I don't know.
05:34I don't know if he wants to talk to you anymore.
05:36Tobin's afraid that he could have a very good relationship with Giannis.
05:41Like, they could be.
05:42Yeah, he's afraid because then if he has a good relationship with Giannis, he can't.
05:48There's no criticizing Giannis.
05:50Oh, that's not true.
05:51Oh, really?
05:52Oh, please.
05:52He loves.
05:54He loves the whole team.
05:55Do you understand the true art of the flip?
05:58He's going to flip.
05:59He can say anything.
06:00He'll wiggle out of it.
06:02But there's certain guys he won't want to flip off.
06:05I'm very charming.
06:07Yeah, that's what Jimmy said.
06:09How did I end up?
06:10It ended up with him in Golden State with an extra $60 million and then him winking at
06:15me when he came back.
06:16Boink.
06:17He's like, that was good.
06:19Way to start that.
06:19You helped me out.
06:21Yes.
06:22Thank God.
06:23There it is.
06:25I mean.
06:28It's tough.
06:29It's tough.
06:29What's going on with poor Zingas?
06:31They found him yet?
06:32He's sick.
06:33Still sick?
06:34What's going on with that?
06:36I ain't paid $20 million.
06:37That's wild, man.
06:40Steph Curry, I'm telling you.
06:41Oh, Jesus.
06:42I'm telling you, dude.
06:42This is not going to go well over there.
06:44What are you doing?
06:46It's not going to go well.
06:47You sound like Cool Runnings when they talk about the Swiss.
06:50Enough with the damn Swiss.
06:52I'm just saying.
06:53It is.
06:54I'm looking at all the point guards out here and I'm like, all right.
06:58The funny thing about it is the only person that really got what I said was Vlad.
07:02Of course.
07:02The brother.
07:03I don't know.
07:04The Swice.
07:04He's like, enough because he kept trying to copy the Swice team.
07:09Why don't you go after Kyrie?
07:10That's the more.
07:13Hey, I got to tell you.
07:14Could you imagine Kyrie on this scene?
07:17That would be scary.
07:18That would be very scary.
07:19I've been saying that all the time.
07:21I wouldn't want that.
07:23Because look, not only that.
07:25Think of what you got coming off the bench.
07:29Well, you'd have to trade some of that off the bench.
07:32Yeah.
07:32You're not getting Kyrie.
07:34You're not giving up.
07:34Because you got to match the salaries.
07:36So that's the only thing with Kyrie.
07:38That would suck.
07:38Because you can't get.
07:39The first one is go with Bobby Portis.
07:42Yeah.
07:42You can't get and not give, you know.
07:44Well, it would be.
07:45I'd imagine you'd have to give up.
07:47Wiggy?
07:48Wigs.
07:48I mean, they could do it.
07:50They could match it.
07:52I don't like it.
07:53Leroy doesn't like any time of his favorite.
07:55I mean, you could match it if you did Davion, Jovich, and Bobby.
07:59But you're taking.
07:59I mean, that's a lot.
08:01It's three pieces.
08:01Well, I think you need Bobby because of the length.
08:04I really do.
08:06I'll tell you who I'm keeping my eye on.
08:08And I don't know if they're good or not because it kind of sounds like maybe there's a little something
08:11there.
08:14Let's look at my eye on Dame.
08:16I knew you.
08:16Dame doesn't make that much money.
08:18He doesn't make that much money.
08:19He doesn't make that much money.
08:20He doesn't make that much money.
08:22Relax, Leroy.
08:23Let him explain.
08:23He doesn't make that much money.
08:24So I feel like you could do a one-for-one trade.
08:27Now, you have to deal with that rat bastard Joe Cronin.
08:29I don't know where they're at with that.
08:31But that's the one I'm keeping an eye on because things are a little bit frosty in Portland.
08:36They might lose the team over in Portland.
08:38Why do you pull in a Greer?
08:40No, no, no.
08:40This is a good move.
08:41What do you mean?
08:42There's three guards in Portland.
08:43Yeah, they're overhauled on guard.
08:44They have a gluttony of guards.
08:46They got Scoot.
08:46They got Ja.
08:47They got Dame.
08:48They got Drew Holiday.
08:50You know, so I was like, yeah, that's what I'm looking at.
08:55They still got Sharp?
08:57Do they have Shaden Sharp?
08:59I don't know.
09:01It's a good question.
09:01Because if they do, that's five guards on that rotation right now.
09:04Where is Shaden Sharp?
09:05But they do have a plethora of guards.
09:08Yeah, but is Dame the guard you want?
09:11Like at this point?
09:12It's not necessarily about like, he's not perfect.
09:15But again, I'm talking about salaries.
09:17Yeah, but you don't even know if he's healthy.
09:18But again, I'm talking about, again, I understand.
09:22But I'm not having to do a three-for-one trade there.
09:24Like I could trade this.
09:25I could do a trade of like, hey, him and a young guy.
09:30And that's your deal.
09:32Instead of having to trade three of my guys.
09:35Because I think he makes, what is he, 12, Vlad, or 16?
09:37I forget.
09:39Because he's still getting that Bucs money.
09:42That's right.
09:43He is.
09:44He was brought up.
09:46I think he makes, I can't remember if he makes
09:4812 this year.
09:49I think it's 12.
09:50Yeah.
09:51Like 13.
09:53So that's why I'm looking at that.
09:55Yeah, I understand.
09:55He's coming off of an injury.
09:58But Kyrie makes triple that money.
10:00That's all.
10:00It's just hard to make the deal.
10:02I think if you wanted somebody talent-wise,
10:06yeah, you'd take Kyrie.
10:06He's coming off of an ACL.
10:07He's been basically out for almost a year and a half.
10:10What about Drew?
10:12Drew Holiday?
10:13Yeah.
10:14That's an interesting one.
10:15I don't know what his salary is.
10:17What does he make, like 20?
10:17He might be making like 29.
10:19I don't know what his deal is.
10:20He might be making 29, 30.
10:22Because he got a deal from the Celtics and Dan was moved.
10:26I don't know what his deal is.
10:27So I'd have to look at that one.
10:28But the Dame one's just fascinating to me because of the money.
10:32And the reason is, I wouldn't think that Dame was ever going to leave Portland again.
10:37But Portland might lose their team.
10:39There's a lot of drama going on with Portland and the new owner.
10:42Wait, from the Carolina Hurricanes?
10:44Yeah, the Carolina Hurricanes owner.
10:46Did I just get away from him?
10:47No.
10:48He's demanding they give him a new stadium, a new arena.
10:51And if they don't, he's like, I'll leave.
10:52Is he going to go to Seattle?
10:53I don't know.
10:54That's a good point.
10:55I don't know where he's going to go.
10:56He might go to Seattle.
10:58But that's true.
10:59The Seattles, he could just bring them to Seattle.
11:01Dude, if they lost Portland, that would suck, though.
11:03Portland's kind of got like a romance to it, does it not?
11:06I mean, that's the team they have.
11:07It is.
11:09Well, they got the Timbers.
11:10What do they call that soccer team?
11:12Yeah, I mean, they got the Timbers in soccer.
11:13But basically, the Seahawks is their football team.
11:18But that's in another state.
11:19Could you imagine if you were a new owner, they already hate you, and then you also chained Damian Lillard
11:23again?
11:25Didn't you fire the whole radio staff and everything like that?
11:28I think they did.
11:29Yeah.
11:29They've done that.
11:30The coach is on a one-year deal.
11:32He doesn't believe in paying coaches.
11:34That's crazy.
11:36Head coach on a one-year deal.
11:38Well, they wouldn't extend Tiago Splitter, right?
11:42Yeah, he's on the Bulls.
11:43He's the Bulls coach.
11:43Right, I know.
11:44He's the Bulls.
11:44Took him to the playoffs after they lost Chauncey to a rest right before the season.
11:51Crazy.
11:55There's a person who doesn't understand what a coach actually does.
12:01He's one of those people that thinks anybody could do it.
12:03Right?
12:04Or he's a guy who doesn't want to be paying three coaches a lot of salaries.
12:08Then pick a better one.
12:12Mike, I don't know what to tell you.
12:14Or be patient with him.
12:17Shoot it.
12:17Albie says, Kyrie to the heat.
12:19Bye, Jovich, dude.
12:23One of us is going to lose a favorite.
12:26Wiggins or Jovich?
12:28Well, I got to tell you, I think when they get to those negotiating tables and they say
12:31for Jovich, they're like, mm-mm.
12:33Unless Jovich has a great start to the season.
12:35Yeah, but they need more of Jovich than they do of Wiggins.
12:39Well, I would think if you were them, you would want somebody younger.
12:44Right.
12:44Because you got Cooper Flagg.
12:47Now, they do have, you know, you got, maybe Dusty May wants Vlad Golden back.
12:52Ooh, that's right.
12:53Is he in Chicago?
12:54No.
12:55He's in Dallas.
12:56Dallas.
12:56He's in Dallas.
12:58He's in Dallas.
12:59And he took some of the heat staff with him.
13:03So, and they got Masai, Masai Ujiri is their GM now.
13:06Yeah.
13:06But he's doing the thing.
13:07Like, they're very like, oh, we love Kyrie.
13:09We love him.
13:10That's what you say.
13:11That's what you say.
13:12When he's the only old guy on your whole team, no, you don't.
13:15He's the only one.
