Monday Memory! HBD #SamMitchell wins #NBA coach of the Year! First #Raptors coach to win this award!

good morning Raptor freaks Lexi outs here and it's a Monday moment Monday morning and uh we're doing a Monday moment a memory uh and it's also Sam Mitchell's birthday so we're celebrating Sam Mitchell's birthday today and also recognizing him as the first coach of the year ever in the Toronto Raptors history um I'm wearing an Atlantic division claim shirt which is appropo to Sam Mitchell in his tenure as the coach of the Raptors because the first time we ever won the Atlantic division Sam Mitchell was our coach in fact that's part of the reason why he won the coach of the year is because he took us to the top of the Atlantic division the competitive Atlantic division although it wasn't as competitive for a while in the middle there and you know they took notice they said wow this Raptor coach really turned this team around with Chris Bosch and them and uh we need to recognize him so Sam Mitchell became the first of three coaches of the year in Raptor history and uh I'm kind of proud of that honestly I remember that time I was very proud when Sam Mitchell won coach of the year because it it was like another milestone for the young Raptor franchise it was another uh uh uh symbol that we're starting to get better and better and that you know in some ways that was awesome so yeah happy birthday to Sam yeah I you know he's a controversial guy in some ways he's from Columbus Georgia which is a neck in the woods around Tallahassee Florida so I have one of my best friends down in Florida is from Columbus and uh I know I know quite a bit about that area in in Georgia the the southwestern part of Georgia it's a very interesting part of Georgia it's kind of where they would have the Duke boys would have lived and the the Duke boys it's right right around where Dukes of Hazard happened in real life if it was happening in real life was right there around where Sam's from but yeah uh you know what listen he's a controversial guy in Raptor's history because of some of the stories we've heard about his coaching style because of his turn coess on broadcast at times but you know in some ways we got to celebrate Sam as a part of our history also and I've been very hard on him definitely on this channel I have really much so much in some ways i' I've I've uh tried to tell TSN to get rid of him because of some of the things that he says and just ah he's infuriating sometimes but at the same time also once again he is our first ever coach of the year he's a part of our history so in some ways we got to we got to celebrate him also I mean the way I may celebrate Sam Mitchell today may be similar to how I celebrate Vince Carter later this year it's just like all right yeah let's celebrate all right Trevor's here first let's look at what the commissioner of fun Trevor Jay has to say today such so great with uh what he does for this channel TR Trevor just he's got so much stuff behind the scenes going on I'm telling y'all for this channel that you guys will be shocked and and and you'll be very very pleasantly surprised some of the things Trevor does to help me out with this channel I appreciate you Trevor so much uh good morning family dirty water doesn't stop plants from growing so don't let negative words stop your progress I love that I love that yeah you know I was actually watching some YouTube channels yesterday about homesteading and how people hook up their water systems in their house from like their shower and their laundry and they let that water be reused coming out into the yard and feeding the plants this is exactly what Trevor's saying in real terms that your dirty bath water your dirty laundry water well it's still good to the plants they still grow and this is for real but I know what Trevor's saying in real life too is listen don't let the naysayers and the negative nines take you down and just realize that you can grow through that that's part of the growing process the dirty water and the nice Pure Clean Water feeding you also so there you go but yeah you could really use that water reuse it again and man you could actually you know that's the best thing when you multi-purpose stuff when you get a lot a lot of use out it it's better than waste some people wasting water just running it down the tap not doing anything why are you running the water in the sink Johnny I don't know I forgot to turn it off well what the hell is wrong with you let's turn this water off it goes on the water bill son and you know some people will be getting that water and they'll be using it and wash their body and then they catch it and it goes out in the yard and it feeds their plants too so yeah it's pretty good Trevor saying that I don't really care for Sam Mitchell he always stabs the Raptors in the back this is why we have a a LoveHate relationship with Sam Mitchell is because he has two personas in some ways he's a Harvey Dent a Twoface yeah a Batman reference I just made yeah in some ways he's a certain kind of uh media personality up here on this side of the Border when he's on TSN and talking to the Canadian audience and then when he's on the states on NBA TV and he's speaking primarily to the americ audience yeah he he kind of changes his tune in some ways we've heard Sam Mitchell propagate the the the the the storyline that Canada's very cold and in some ways why would people want to go there and stuff like that well you went here Sam you had a good time you were very successful here in fact you had the most success in your coaching career ever here in Toronto you're a coach of the year here man come on man why do you want to tell people down there it's too cold up here why do you want to tell people up here oh it's Canada though seriously man you're above that you know you came up here you spent time here the other thing I don't like about uh what he says down south is he's very negative about the Raptors down there like and I get it maybe he's just a tough dad kind of Coach he's like you guys aren't good enough I gotta get y'all whipped into shape and he's kind of trying to tell them you know tough love it's like Raptors you need to do better in this way and this way and this way it is kind of his energy that he he comes with the coach's energy of criticism and that when he is talking about the Raptors on television maybe it comes from a good place in his heart that he does want them to get better but sometimes he just cold and mean to them and he's like he says stuff like well we'll just have to wait and see and hope that they get better or something like that I'm like oh my gosh Sam Mitchell oh my gosh but yeah I get you on this Trevor I've heard Sam Mitchell stab the Raptors in the back and I know you're exactly right

done exactly what they needed to do coming in they brought the goods this was no no no no no hype train of [ __ ] these these young ladies came in for real and they did something they changed this league they did it just like Larry and Irving did in the 80s for the NBA they they came in they dominated they did amazing stuff that that bounce pass that Caitlyn Clark had in transition oh my gosh and then her teammate did a really crazy flip over the back pass to the third person to lay it up I was like holy crap the wmba is badass that is an amazing play what the Indiana Fever did this weekend with that bounce pass almost full-court bounce pass by Caitlyn Clark she can't just shoot she could pass too apparently and then that crazy flip over the shoulder pass to the third player for the fever who laid it in that was such a beautiful play that is the biso game that is the beautiful game WNBA this is what we want more of on the NBA is the sharing of the ball and the the foresight to see where it's going I love that stuff so much I'm gonna enjoy covering this WNBA Toronto team so much because the basketball is so beautiful in the WNBA and Angel Ree and Caitlyn Clark you have elevated this league this season I thank you thank you you are bringing the eyes eyeballs and the and the money to the league and it's amazing Angel Reese fantastic accomplishment I don't know how she

anyways that's right yeah happy birthday Sam Mitchell I know I've been hard on you in the past in some ways you are a part of Raptor's history and institution and are broadcasting in some ways reluctantly I'll say that I mean I have to say one of the things I like about Sam on the broadcast is he's wild in some ways he he's the kind of person will say something that maybe somebody shouldn't say on the broadcast because he's a little off script and uh you know that kind of Charles Barkley element to the to the broadcast is kind of fun it's just I don't want them dissing the team just remember that Sam Raptor fans love their team this isn't the era back in the day when you were the coach and Raptor SS were kind of like ah we don't really care about the team we just like watching the NBA no no no we're in a new era we really love our team and respect the team because the fans respect want you to respect the team and if you're not you're not at least being respectful to the team uh you know you can say critical things but just be smart about it just be smart about it because we do get pissed off at you especially when you do stuff South of the Border like when we see you gotta understand Sam we have Internet up here and we see all the clips of what you're saying down on NBA TV and you can act like oh I'm in Canada I could be this way but if I'm in the US I'm on TV I'm in this way you got to realize we're watching either way that's all I'll say to you right now Sam Mitchell as far as that but happy birthday we love you man and some way we love you but we hate you most saying thanks for what you brought to the Raptors that's right in some ways he was kind of the first little blip up there in coaching Excellence we've had three coaches of the year since Dwayne Casey Man in some ways I believe Dwayne Casey is the greatest coach in the history of the Raptors Nick nurse obviously the championship coach and a coach of the year for the Raptors also three WIS men three coaches of the Year Sam Mitchell Dwayne Casey and Nick nurse and you know what we're gonna get a fourth one and his name's going to be rakovich and that's going to be coming down the road watch it's going to be coming that's right Monique is saying 34 days until Raptor's preseason oh you got the Charles Oakley number before the season starts the preseason starts 34 days Charles Oakley oh I love it I love it I love it Guardian Transit wants to know if there's any coloo news all right Guardian Transit good morning to you sir I will go and look real quick I'm just going to Google his name and let's put in news we'll hit the news item and we'll say no nothing since a month ago nothing since a month ago the update is that they're still reviewing it there's nothing and I told y'all I'm sorry I said we probably will know about Christian by the end of August well I was wrong I don't know why they're taking so long on this in some ways it doesn't benefit uh Christian very very much doesn't benefit him uh and then of course if the Raptors are trying to retain him it doesn't benefit us either is there let's Brian W assist is this a weird thing where Adam Silver and clutch and Rich Paul are manipulating something so maybe they're thinking that Bobby and Messiah will use up all their cap space maybe they'll use their last roster spot which is still open right now guys they still have one roster spot that's wide open right now uh because they're going to see maybe they're playing some chicken they're like oh Raptors why don't you go ahead and pick up that last player for your uh training camp roster uh no we're good we're gonna wait a little bit we're gonna go oh you sure you you sure you don't want to pick somebody up right now n we're gonna wait we're gonna wait a little bit we want to find out about a young Christian that's right oh okay that's why you're waiting yeah we're waiting we're flexible we're smart yeah we plan ahead we're not like Rob penka we actually think about things ahead of time and try and get things organized okay but you're sure you don't want to go get uh somebody like uh I don't know uh uh let's see who's out there still yeah that's exactly right we don't we don't we're waiting to see what cologo is doing okay chill out I don't know is there some sort of weird chicken game going on between that and that and what I'm talking about I don't know I have no idea once again I'll say this no news on coloo is bad news because that they either they know already and they just hiding it they don't want to tell anybody or it's just taking for so damn long like it shouldn't take this damn long to figure out whether a man has fit to play in the NBA this is crazy I've never heard this take so long like this it's like come in let the doctor see him check his heart get him to run around a little bit and uh see how he's looking after that check his heart again come on you know how to do this Fitness to play panel just clear the man and let us know what's up because we need to talk to Rich Paul if you're G to clear him is what I'm going to say right now yeah yeah I don't know what it is some sort of weird game of chicken Guardian Transit I have no idea right now uh Kareem Thomas is here good to see our junk Champion full ass the butt dier yes uh cool cat left over 80 points on the bench yesterday sparing me Elimination alyo to her I survived a first round embarrassment listen n this league is no embarrassment it's good competition if you win or lose and listen I listen cool cat maybe she fell asleep at the wheel the exact wrong time to put her roster in but you know what it is what it is Kareem and you know what it is what it is that's part of playing fantasy and winning is you got to pay attention you got to play your team and if you don't you're asleep at the wheel well things like this happen so in some ways that's just how it goes and you are going to the next round my guy and you're gonna be playing against trivia Champion Commissioner of trivia David Sabor in the second round yeah that's a headyy task Kem this is serious stuff but if you get past that one you're in the championship round my guy and you'll be playing for that WNBA championship of course on the other side of the bracket I won I beat MJ fiery saera and uh Meredith did take care of business in his game against James so yeah we've got the second round set up for today starting today it's gonna be Raptor streak versus Meredith and David versus Kareem in the other brackets so congratulations to the team moving on well let's see who's going to be playing next W Monday for the last week of our WNBA Fantasy Playoff week yeah we'll see who's playing next week for that cup between the four teams two teams will be eliminated this week that's right Kareem that's right uh Kareem's also saying Sam Mitchell had some great quotes especially that z0000 rant no he's he is badass like honestly in some ways listen without knowing all the turmoil on the team when he was coaching the Raptors he from the outside was like fiery he was like somebody who stood up for us he was somebody who was passionate he was somebody was like getting good results like seriously him winning Coach of the Year wasn't a fluke he really was coaching his ass off and making the Raptors improved quickly around that time in fact the first year he came in they were really really bad but he turned it around the second year and that's part of the reason why he got that coach of the year is because they had the difference they saw the first year and how much the Raptor struggled and they saw how much he turned it around for them in the second year and they said boom you won the Atlanta division you're a coach of the year and that's how it all went down like that so it's interesting because later on we find out that he was kind of a little bit too like uh involved in the players lives and there were issues behind the scenes some of the players did really not like him when he was our coach so it's a weird thing with Sam and I in some ways I understand his personality he's very contener he's very shoots from the hip tells it like it is kind of guy and I respect that in a lot of ways I really really do but there's lines you can't cross and in some ways I think because Sam was a former player in some ways he has an ideology of how NBA players are supposed to act and when he was around some of the generation that he was coaching in the late 2000s on the Raptors he probably didn't agree with how they were changing and stuff like that we got to remember Sam had a hard road to get the NBA he started out in the CBA guys he had to play in the the CBA teams before he got a chance to play for the Minnesota Timberwolves and he took that chance and when he was a player he's very synonymous with the Minnesota Timberwolves team he had two different stints there with a Indiana Pacer stint sandwiched in the middle there and uh you know people remember him as a player also it's not like he was a scrub he actually was in rotation and he was playing in starting at times also he was very influential and and key to Kevin Garnett's career because uh the second time he came back to the Timberwolves Kevin Garnett was there as a rookie out of high school and uh one of the biggest mentors to Kevin Garnett in his early NBA career was Sam Mitchell so you know there there's a lot to him it's complicated in some ways he's a man who came the hard way into the NBA and carved himself out a 10-year career and that's amazing in some ways it's like these guys that don't get drafted these guys that have to go down to the the lower league and fight their way up and then they stick in the big league those are guys that really are working hard and doing some crazy stuff so in some ways you got to respect Sam Mitchell's player career because he overcame the odds he overcame the odds that's right that's right fy's here happy happy Monday and good morning fam from MJ good to see you checking in from the Ottawa region uh MJ love you so much and uh good game shaking hands good game good game uh Monique is here saying that uh Team Canada won in the wheelchair basketball par Olympics yeah I saw your post in our Facebook Chat Mo and I was very impressed with the score apparently they won 81-49 so the pair Olympics are going on in France right now and Team Canada's wheelchair basketball team beat the hell out of Spain yesterday so that's pretty cool that's very very cool yeah 80 80 crazy 81 to 49 they doubled them up they doubled them up good so you go Canada's wheelchair basketball team badass keep giving me updates on how those things are going uh with the team Canada stuff at the par Olympics for sure for sure let let me know yeah FY saying congrats Lex on winning the past fantasy round you're welcome MJ ah your growth as a fantasy player has been so monumentally amazing this season and I continue to want to watch and see how you do especially with the NBA season coming up next but yeah I have a lot of experience playing fantasy sports fiery I've been playing them pretty steady since 2005 so about 20 years of play and I've won all four major sports championships in all kinds of different places public leagues private leagues yeah I have a pretty high win percentage when we I play Fantasy so and I have not won it and done as well with the Raptor freak leagues and that's just a testament to how uh competitive and good you guys are at Fantasy stuff like usually I'm like one of the most dominant fantasy players in any League I'm in but having David and Meredith and uh uh Jason Dukes saorin all you guys are the champions that have been in our fantasies like Jason Dukes was the first NBA champion Meredith the WNBA champion and then Peter saborn win it this this past year yeah I'm not I'm not winning anymore in the fantasy because you guys are good is what I'm saying right now yeah yeah Wayne's here good to see wayne strainer the sergeant Wayne strainer y'all Wayne's birthday's coming up y'all uh not ranking him but I thought BR Butch Carter was a good coach apart from the off course nonsense he made good decisions he never worked again so that's a tell on his character yeah yeah I think that you hit the nail on the head with the last part yeah yeah I think that it was such a a bad controversy behind the scenes he was toxic and people kind of kept away from him at that point of course once again the reason why Butch Carter worked for our team was his Indiana Connection in some ways originally John bov was thinking about hiring him to be the president of the Raptors in the beginning because they all went to Indiana U well what happened was BAU was forced out but Isaiah was still around he was Indiana and so was Glenn Grunwald Glenn Grunwald was also Indiana so a lot of the reasons why Butch Carter was hired is because of his old alumni ties with Glenn Grunwald that's a lot the reason why Butch Carter was hired but you know he I think you're right there was a period in time where Butch Carter as a coach seemed like he was doing really really well but the butch Carter era and the Lenny Wilkins era kind of bleed in together for me in my head because like in some ways Butch started to set up the Vince era but Lenny really came in and picked them up and got them the furthest with the the Series against Allen Iverson in the Sixers in 2001 so it's a you know I get them confused to an extent and I remember Lenny and the way he handled himself you know Butch you're right Butch is an underrated coach for the Raptors in some ways I don't see him as a totally unsuccessful coach for us he found success he won games for us and he was started he was one of the first successful coaches for us I think he was maybe the first one we could say buch Carter was the first ever successful coach of the Raptors the guys before were not know no they weren't Daryl Walker and uh Brendan Malone no no no they weren't they weren't uh let's see uh Andrew saying what's up y'all hope everyone had a good weekend well it's still going up here in Canada we're off again today and nobody's working there's nobody driving to work outside my H uh house like going down the road but no everybody gets another day off today Andrew we're just sitting chilling today that's right congrats to Team Canada wheelchair basketball kicking butt 81 to 49 wow wow go easy on him is what I'm saying there yeah Kem saying was Butch Carter a player like his brother Chris in Minnesota he played basketball to the Collegiate level but I don't think he ever actually played in the NBA let me go look at that you you're you're asking me a question let's go fact check why not I can get on the internet I know how to type let me see what's up here where's Butch Butchart wait I don't want to see it in the news I want to see his Wikipedia Wikipedia Wikipedia uh yeah he did play in the league but it wasn't for long that's right I remember him playing the league he was on the Pacers he was on the Lakers he was on the Knicks he was on the Sixers and uh he he's played from 1980 to 1985 so he was in the league for about five years in the early 80s and so yeah he did play in the league for a little bit there but he wasn't in football like his brother Chris Carter that's right his brother was Minnesota Vikings uh wide receiver Chris Carter Butch Carter's brother that's right that's totally true Monique saying hey everyone please educate yourself on spinal cord injury month this month so September is spinal cord injury Awareness Month y'all so yeah I'm with Mo on this exactly you know listen I've said this before in the last month or so listen the you know we need to be for

gonna be able to be here right now so I'm gonna go ahead and handle the classic card real quick Rand said happy birthday to all the September Born may you be blessed with abundance and overflow you are uniquely Special Love yeah Libra Libra Nation we love you there's also a lot of uh Virgos still uh born in uh September uh yeah so yeah Virgo n Virgo season still on and then the Libras will start at the end of the month but yeah September people are awesome I've always had very good friends from the month of September some very very close personal best friends are born in the first week of September and uh Beyond like yeah yeah some really really close friends of mine slug saying I'm patiently waiting for the 30th anniversary jersey released well I I could tell you what's going to happen slug Dey it's going to be that purple purple front blackback it's going to be that Vince Carter Jersey and we're gonna see them on 10 10 or 12 games of the season that's it you're not gonna see them all season it'll be on select dates and in fact we know the dates of when they're going to have the purple front blackback jerseys on so I could actually tell you the first time they're going to wear them is going to be on Friday of the first G week of the season when we play Philadelphia here in Toronto uh that will be a classic jersey game and they will be wearing the Vince era jerseys I'm telling you right now that's what they're going to do it's not official it's not uh for sure but I'm pretty good at uh uh predicting things and I'm pretty sure this is what's happening so yeah it it'll be the Vince Carter Jersey it'll be it'll probably be very much the same looking Jersey just a little updated and it may have the 30th Anniversary patch on it and but yeah it may not be that much different than the ones that Vince wore in 2001 around that time so yeah I'm thinking it's going to be that and the first game will be Philly they're gonna wear them against the Lakers also the week after that when the Lakers come and play their one game in Toronto in the beginning of the Season they'll be wearing them then too so yeah that's that's the info right there man yeah they're not just for tournament play they're actually gonna have something else for the inseason tournament these will be for regular season games spread out over the whole entire season and if you want to know it is specifically when the Vince Carter game is it's a Cleveland game in February the if they're they're gonna honor Vince Carter on February the 12th just before All-Star break it'll be a second night of a back-to-back game against the Cleveland Cavaliers so if you really really want to know when to go to see Vince get honored that's the game and that game they probably will be wearing the the the Throwbacks but they don't they didn't say that for sure but the Vince Carter game is February the 12th against the Cleveland Cavaliers if anybody in Raptor nation's trying to buy tickets and get ready for the season that's the information right there and people are saying well what are they gonna honor Vince why know because I'm listening to Messiah and what he's saying he said we want to honor Vince on the 25th anniversary of his dunk competition well that date is February the 12th 2025 so that is why I know that Cavs game is the game that they're going to honor Vince at so just just so you know guys uh Cowboy saying okay cool also Koko is with clutch right maybe LeBron is trying to keep him for the Lakers he is with clutch that is something that makes me very worried or wondering what the hell's going on with him but what can we do in some ways we've seen good signs that he is leaning towards returning to the Raptors since he's been around the Raptors mostly at Summer League he's still interacting with a lot of our players on social media he seems to be a big fan of shamsh not just because they're cameroonians but who knows maybe they're gonna be teammates real soon so I don't know we're g have to see what happens we're gonna have to see what happens I'm going to guess slug Dey that our NBA cup stuff is going to be very similar to kind of what we did last year it'll be black and gold kind of stuff I hope that they bring that Court back out it'd be a damn shame if they only play two games ever on that beautiful black court that we had for the inseason tournament last year the Raptors had the best n Season tournament Court last year I'm sorry that's just the damn truth and a lot of people around the league will agree with us so I say don't spend the money on making a new for all of a sudden for the NBA Emirates cup go ahead and get that one from last year out and we'll wear black and gold Again In the End season tournament so that that's kind of where what it's looking like I mean who knows maybe they are gonna waste money and spend a whole bunch of money on a brand new crazy ass Court like that but I wouldn't if I was the Raptors I would use that badass Court you used last year and uh just keep going with it and maybe you change the jerseys you can change the jerseys a little bit but don't change the court those things are expensive and that Court was bad B ass you can use it some more for a couple more years I'm saying that right now yeah yeah G's here G's saying Maximillion 7eleven just put out an RJ 2324 highlight reel fire fire yeah I love all the highlight reels we've been getting all summer 9005 stuff uh Emanuel Quickly's best assist Scotty Barnes this Chris buet that RJ this yeah it's good stuff definitely get you through the SE

let's go amoon giant all right let's go with the classic card let's see who's going to get this today let's see who's going to get the classic card today la la la la la la who is that let me see who that is first um oh wow okay this is a good one this is a good one we'll see how good everybody can do on this all right here we go here's the classic C first person write the name in uh spelling May matter actually I'm in charge so I I I adjudicate as who gets it in first all right listen listen y'all can see who that is it should be easy seriously it should be easy in some ways you got the don't look up the number in the Jersey there we go Isaac now you did misspell his name but that's exactly right that is Derek Fischer guys you could tell from the distance or maybe Isaac has this card Eric Derek fiser uh Isaac I'm gonna give you 100 points 100 points to Isaac Campbell for the classic car of the day let me go just write it in real quick yeah tomorrow guys we'll have trivia uh I'm gonna write up the questions later today David's gonna help me and uh we're gonna get that all figured out so let me just put in a classic card uh for Isaac 100 points on what he did there very very good job Isaac Campbell uh let's see yeah not too messing around Derek fiser fiser spelled without the sea uh and Isaac Isaac got it and uh we're gonna give him 100 points 100 points there you go Isaac getting the classic card of the day it is Derek fiser of course Derek fiser was involved in that crazy [ __ ] with Matt Barnes or was it Matt Barnes I forget who it was it was somebody somebody there was some sort of fight over a wife or something like that but yeah there's Derek fiser of course he was a coach in the league also in some ways we haven't seen Derrik Fischer around anymore I think he got in trouble because of his liaison and the NBA kind of is like yeah we don't want your energy around the league anymore man because like uh you know you kind of you you did something to somebody's wife and uh that no no big no no no no no no no no wait why did the screen go dark like that that's weird all right anyway we'll keep going it like it went shaded it's very weird yeah yeah all right let's see Isaac's Isaac's saying farmer Isaac I like that uh will done well done well done well will done well done uh Cowboys saying did you see that uh shamay Prince shamay was the first player to go straight from the Africa league and the first from Cameroon to skip the NCAA I think correct me if I'm wrong something like that yeah they said this on draft night uh Cowboy that the the first player to ever go directly from Africa to the NBA with no stops with a Prep High School this is like he didn't come over here and play in a high school like Scotty at Mount verd or anything like that no Sunrise Academy for him no us uh or Canadian High School no prep school no College Years in any college thing came straight from the basketball Africa League to the NBA and that is an unprecedent path to get to the league and in some ways maybe this is scaring some people that they're saying uh oh these these African guys are going to start coming straight here uh oh uh oh you know I don't know we'll have to see I'm excited about it shamay is going down a path nobody's ever gone before and that's part of the reason why he has to be successful Bradley is if he comes over and he's no good then he's gonna hurt other young men from coming behind him with the same path so there is some pressure on him for this for this reason that's right so yeah it is true exactly what you said right there Wayne saying it's very difficult for former players of the Raptors to diss the organization because they're treat with respect and gratitude those the dis Raptors are really few and classless I love what Wayne's saying here and I agree with him you know listen Canadian people are amazing Canadian people are so nice and very very kind and in some ways our organization is topnotch we go above and beyond to take care of these players and that's why people like Dennis schuder even though he may have gotten the raw into the deal last season he said the Raptors were so good to me and I can't be mad at them so you're right and maybe it was was a period of time in our franchise where things weren't run as well and maybe that's like when Vince left or things that happened around Sam Mitchell and the the Raptors in the Chris Bosch era where people would be like yeah I hated being here for this reason or this reason but that's not the case in the Messiah era everybody who's come to the Raptors while messiah's been in charge has been pampered and treated a topnotch A++ plus plus as the franchise takes care of their players so I think you're exactly right on this but over time there's like you know older players they're young were when we were younger as a franchise that have kind of negative thoughts or feelings about things and it may be because we didn't have the Excellence of uiri as the leader and well I think you're right and you know honestly once again when people are dissing Canada just because they think it's cold or the taxes or this or that it really just shows ignorance because once again Minnesota's cold and honestly in some ways the way the money is set up between the United States and Canada these us players are making money in the whole exchange rate in some ways it's actually a financial benefit to play for Canada's team so yeah it's a weird situation it's not like they're getting paid in Canadian dollars they're getting paid in American dollars and they can spend the American dollars in Canada and if the Canadian dollar is not as good as the American dollar they're making a lot of money and they're having an easier time with their lifestyle in Canada so yeah I agree with you Wayne on this it's an older thing with the older players but even the younger players that started in this team in the beginning like Damon stmy Tracy McGrady uh people like that have only good things to say about Toronto and there's only a few Knuckleheads and there's different reasons why some of these Knuckleheads don't like Toronto and Canada some of it because a low IQ some of it's just pure xenophobia stuff like that yeah yeah yeah that's what I'm saying right there uh let's see good job Wayne with that comment I'm gonna go ahead and give you a dunk because I agree with it I agree with what you're saying I agree with what you're saying let me see where's Wayne there's Wayne right there we're going to give him a three 103 you got that hot 101.3 101 103.1 hot 103.1 we got all the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block every hour uh fiery saying gotta go mow the lawn fam see you tomorrow at trivia there you go all right Scotty say you gonna mow your lawn you mowed your lawn really I did that once I came in Scotty Barn's twitch after I had mowed the lawn out here and I said Scotty I just mowed the lawn and Scotty was like really into that he's said you just mow the lawn cool Raptor streak cool he's like in he was interested in my chore I was like yeah I just came back in from mowing the lawn and and Scotty said Raptor Street were you mowing the lawn I was like yeah I was mowing the lawn it's that great Scotty Barnes twitch moment with raptor streak talking about me mowing the lawn so yeah get out there and mow the lawn MJ that's right uh be nice to the little animals though I was mowing the lawn one time this summer and I ran over over a mole and I felt really bad felt really really bad but he survived he's all right but I think he I messed up his legs so he started running really weird after that but I seen him in the yard like a couple days later so he's still alive which is good which is good and hopefully he's still having a good life but yeah be careful there's little creatures out there you don't want to just be a mean destructive crazy person with the the lawnmower look out for the little little little creatures that's what I'm saying yeah Kareem saying what's your honest opinion if Prince went to NCAA do you think he would be lottery in 2025 I think he would be top five in 2025 NBA draft and my being biased so you talking about Prince the purple one the great uh When Doves Cry dream if you will a picture of you and I engaged in a kiss the smell of your body covers me can you tell me can you picture this you talking about Prince wait a second Prince is dead I think he might have been able to make uh basketball because he was very good Prince may have been short but he could play some ball apparently according to Kevin Garnett and Rick James and uh uh Charlie Murphy yeah yeah yeah he could play he could play uh you're talking about all rich of course uh so let me let me switch to seriousness here uh would he be a lottery pick in 2025 I think he would be a lottery pick next year I think that Messi looked at the legalities of how soon canay who drafted shamay and I want to jump on getting him before everybody body else comes in and tries to get him next year so in some ways it's it's shown by him getting drafted right at the end of this draft two picks before the end of the draft that uh Messi's jumping in line and he went and grabbed him ahead of everybody he paid a million dollars to do that too he spent a million dollars sent it to Memphis Grizzlies and asked for their pick and they took it and they got their guy and that's all that matters in some ways this is yugiri saying I ain't gonna miss out on the next Giannis no no no no I seen what happened with Giannis I wanted to draft him I wanted to move up well that action where he you know he had to move up well he couldn't and the Milwaukee Bucks got in a come up he wasn't gonna screw that up this time so he jumped in the in the queue he jumped ahead and he went a year ahead actually because yeah I think next year this guy would be at the top of the draft board next year I don't know where he would play this next year if he wasn't coming to us playing this rookie year with us maybe he's still in basketball Africa League playing another year over there maybe he does come over to the states and plays at a college for one year and yeah I think you're right K this is a good question I think that uh shamsh uh with one more year being in a 19 next year he might have been a a lottery pick I think you're right I think you're right I think you're right you think he'd be top five I don't think that that I mean we don't know I mean they're looking at the prospects for next year Cooper flag Dylan Harper uh you know I think that he looks like he's pretty Bonafide stud like blue chip Prospect uh just by his body and his athleticism so I could say sham Shay probably would be up there in a year from now yeah I think you're right Kareem I'm gonna give you a dunk for a good little mind exercise if not a miss a chance for me to make Prince jokes and sing wi dubs cry so yeah here we go let me see where is that uh 250 I'm gonna give you a two two-pointer so you're at 250 250 all right let's see wayne saying where I am Isaac wrote the name before you presented the card Lex how is that possible well say this that you may not be live uh uh Wayne you got to make sure you hit in the corner you see the red button that says live you got to make sure that says live so hit the little live button in the corner because you may be watching me a little bit behind and that may be why uh Cowboys uh uh waving to shamay hi shamay a straight msai pick Let's fing go he's gonna be yeah I'm I'm excited about it he's down at the lake shore at OVO Center hopefully he's not interacting too much with that uh system you know down there that one that what is it the the Noah system yeah I know about the Noah system maybe that Noah system needs to go out in the the lake yeah hopefully he's not using the Noah system turn it off when Alish is in there we don't need it telling him how to shoot just let him go by fi and uh turn that damn machine off the Noah system yeah stay away from the Noah system is my advice for a shamay Tom duk's got him the farmer out there that's right and the the goal the gold that's right there's Darko too I see Darko there too that's cool cool Neil's here good to see Blackhawk in the house he's saying Derek Fischer hooked up with Matt Barn's ex-wife that is why Matt attacked Derek Derrick was coaching in the WNBA until he got fired yeah he was the coach of the LA Sparks and uh yeah that's that's kind of what happened I don't know if they were it was his ex-wife or was his current wife because I don't remember I don't remember exactly but yeah that was the whole issue there and Derek then Matt Barnes is crazy he drove like 300 miles to punch uh Derrik Fischer in the face it's kind of crazy he like got in his truck and he drove a very long time sometimes when you're walking or driving you get time to think and you kind of cool down no this guy was a full head of steam he he crossed state lines just to go knock this guy's block off he was so mad at him yeah Matt bar Barnes will talk about this I'm sure maybe not he he probably doesn't want to talk about it anymore but he's so outspoken on podcast I'm sure that he's told his account of this story before very much somewhere somehow uh Cowboy saying have fun uh I candy tractor eye candy make you make your do a quick uh look around the yard to check for rocks and sticks he's saying he he's his tip is to look out for the rocks and sticks the pine cones and mine is look out for the little animals look out for the little animals and and try to be nice and in some ways less is more when you're cutting your yard I like to cut nice lines and I even keep a meadow like a wild Meadow where I don't cut at all and it's amazing the pollinators and the nice native species of plants coming up and it just makes the whole yard healthier and some people say well you gonna have more bugs Lex no there's an a balance you can find if you do this right where you'll have enough dragon flies and uh birds and different things that will be in your yard that will take care of the pests of the mosquito so listen don't be afraid to grow a little bit part of your yard maybe a little bit further away from the building and allow for natural wildlife and natural insects and everything to come around because that's a healthy yard healthy art is not a monoculture lawn that is finely manicured and is just like Blades of grass no that's no good for anybody that just makes looks good to you but to me I'm about on natural and let those wild native plants and wild insects and species be thriving because you'll find a Natural Balance in it at some point and I'm telling you we didn't have really bad problems with mosquitoes this summer because we had so many different insects and birds eating them and taking care of it for us so it's really really good really really good uh let's see David saying are there any miners in here I might be a little loose lip today okay David's traveling on the bus and that made me a little he's got to get from Ottawa to Toronto and we know the last time we was on the bus he was pretty revved up so yeah I don't think there's any miners in here no I don't know anybody got a pickaxe oh all right let's see Cowboy saying Wayne dap Isaac is from The Matrix he's from the future Isaac is Neo he's got the little glasses in the trench coat he's that in the Matrix yes he's gonna be like from the bullets y'all see this thing behind me I dug this up I dug this up recently I was going through some old stuff look at this badass inflatable finger you could get from the arena from way back look at what that logo says it says purple fever in some ways it's the pointer finger but it almost looks like that one finger salute yeah yes it's like I could say one finger salute but yeah anybody's jonesing for the purple fever there's your purple fever old school uh artifact from Raptor's game probably like 20 years ago uh one of these inflatable fingers you blow it up with a little straw and then you got it on your hand and you clap them together trying to mess people up at the free throw line but yeah look at that purple fever Raptor's uh purple hand with the finger out there yeah I picked my [Music] nose yeah I put it in the backdrop we got that in it back there now there's going to be things added behind me all the time uh because I'm I'm unpacking more of my stuff and I'm finding more and more of my old Raptors artifacts from back in the day that's right that's right let's see uh uh fiery saying I don't see a Nuggie yeah Nuggie the ruggie is not here right now right now we'll have to see yeah Nuggie is not here and I don't see Amit I know amit's not a totally a minor uh but I do I found out more that like there are people in my family that watch me and I want to say hi to Thomas I want to say hi to Keegan and Jarrett I want to say hi to all my cousins that watch the channel in the scene yeah you guys are awesome and I love you guys all y'all that enjoy the Raptor freak Channel and probably hear more than you need to but yeah that's how it is uh FY saying you should be good David let it out let's go yeah I think he's he's okay but we never know I have it marked to nobody uh under 18 should be watching me I do not let YouTube Market this to children just so y'all know this is an adult Channel but in some ways if their parents are allowing them to watch my cousin Kristen's saying yeah you can watch Thomas it's fine then there's no problem so Thomas I love you man and thank you for watching me and uh it was really cool that you got to see my parents recently at the wedding out west so very very cool and my mom was touched that you came up to her and said I watch I watch Lexi on uh on YouTube he's amazing I love the Raptor streaks so y there you go so let's just say yeah there's probably are miners watching from time to time just so yall know and in some ways I've tried to temper myself from cussing so much I'm failed at it a lot but uh you know in some ways I'm trying I'm trying in some ways we're just free flowing talking about whatever we're gonna talk about this is just how it is yeah yeah and David is getting da from cowboy and I don't know what that is Tom that looks like some sort of McDonald's character from the 70s like is that Grim's cousin I don't even know what that is that's really crazy he saying oh boy Lex singing my CE to leave wait whoa whoa wait a second I do a pretty good Prince seriously you can't get mad at me I can can do a pretty good Prince seriously she wore a Rasberry Beret the kind you find in the secondhand store a Rasberry Beret I think I love her oh when she walk come on now fiery don't hate on My Singing come on now yeah Cowboy saying I said it before and I'll say it again the best $1 million Messiah ever spent was paying the Memphis Grizzlies to get the right to draft Alis sh at the end of this draft that we just had this summer yeah yeah I think Cowboy's right we're gonna be saying this years and years to come and uh Cowboy you keep saying it seriously you keep reminding us that's right uh Wayne saying fiercely you just became my conscience later got to go now Mo the lawn my lazy ass son refused to do it yesterday bummer yikes you know I really do limit how many times I mow I'll mow like I'm not allowed to mow more than once a month in fact I was going to tell myself you're only going to mow once this year but I have mowed like uh two or yeah and I really am not mowing the whole thing I'm mowing little sections of it in different and often it's for different reasons like there's one area that I got to clear out a poison ivy so I got to mow that out for that but yeah in some ways it's good to leave a natural Terrain in your yard if you can leave a pollinator strip of wild flowers so that the bees can come and do good things now if you have a garden somewhere else in the yard this is really good good for it trust me if you leave a wild strip in your yard so I I applaud anyone who's able to leave a little bit don't mow the whole thing and let it grow up naturally and see the beautiful wild flowers that will come up especially if you plant them yourself you could plant your own little wildf flower garden pollinator Garden do it seriously it'll help our world with food production the bees need the pollination to do what they need to do so yeah and Wayne's going to get out there and start M the lawn too now all right right all right Scotty be proud Scotty be proud everybody mowing their lawn today let's see Blackhawks saying the NBA players their taxes are based upon the state they resid in so if you play on the Raptors but live in Phoenix the taxes are based upon Phoenix instead of T dot RJ and bushe pay Canadian taxes okay that makes sense now think about SE yakum SE yakum had a residence down in Orlando and Florida has a crazy state tax so it could have been seak was really doing pretty good if his he's getting taxed to the Florida tax code so that's that's the kind of stuff that's interesting news Neil and that makes sense David saying on a brighter note I saw my third new bird species of the Year an Eastern kingb Bird that's the third one of the season the other two were at your place Lex the eastern bluebird and the Fly Catcher that's awesome so the Acadian Fly Catcher And that Bluebird we saw when we went for that walk you and Peter and I that's awesome I love that so much I'm really getting into the birds more my dad brought me back some bird books from my uncle and Winnipeg on this trip they just came back back from so we're learning more and more and yeah the feeder's out there and it's getting a lot of attention I've been really really enjoying seeing more and more new Birds but yeah so you saw an Eastern king bird very cool David we're definitely gonna have to hang out and go bird watching again soon I know that's we're nerds like that that's right he's got the little tweet Twitter bird the parrot the Swan and Cowboys all about the birds too Swan Miss Swan that's right uh smooth saying didn't Matt Barnes sleep with dererk Fischer's wife or was it the other way around it was the other way around Dereck fer slept with Matt barnes's wife that's what it was yep the other way around that's right uh and they got married all right Omari wants me to sing Diamonds and Pearls Amari I hope you're having a great long weekend my guy oh man I'm always thinking about you Amari hoping all the best things for you my guy all right listen all right I don't know many of the lyrics so I'm just gonna sing the title and the way that they did it on the song because I don't know the lyrics to that song it's not that it was new generation Prince and New Power Generation I didn't really listen to as much then I was more Revolution Prince and also Prince just kind of on his own but yeah all right I'll try and do this all right all right diamonds and pears just so I know the song I'm sorry I can't go any further with it but I'll do other print songs if y'all got any more Prince uh uh requests I'll do more I'll do more I know I love the Batman album that was such a good album when Prince did the Batman album in 1989 with bat dance and uh every time you do me such a rush oo it goes right through me lemon crush this was cool man and that Batman album was good I'm telling y'all right now bat dance oh that's such an underrated album uh Blackhawk saying I believe Derek said something to Matt's twins that was the reason he attacked Derek wow in some ways I I don't know enough about this but in some ways I don't want to know more about this this is a people's personal business in some ways it's none of my business it's ancient history at this point h honestly because it's all happened and gone a long time ago but wow that makes sense if Derrik fiser was saying something out of pocket to Matt's kids that he got mad yeah smooth saying marriage born out of cheating a that's why I don't believe in marriage respectfully wow smooth brown man with a strong opinion you know in some ways I can see why you say that I say that myself in some ways too but yeah it is what it is it's crazy Wayne saying overrated smooth overrated okay all right I mean listen you know it's good to have a lifelong partnership but you in some ways you don't need that piece of paper it's good to have it for tax purposes I don't know and just kind of like run the-mill things but also people are common law they still get a lot of those benefits as long as the government knows some people have said you know I don't need to get married because I love you honey and I don't need to do that to do that I don't know it's everybody for themselves and how they want to handle their lives but I can understand listen I was married I'm divorced now so I can understand what y'all are saying I can understand what y'all are saying let's do the Instagram stories real quick we got Gary Trent Senor and I thought he had Co at first because he's got a Gary Gary's got a swab up his nose I'm like oh crap Gary Trent Senor gone got covid something like that but no he put they put another one up the other nose they're waxing his nose hairs out of his nose and he's like getting it's painful I can tell they like put this hot wax up his nostril and they're rubbing it all around up there to get all the little nose hairs and they rip it out and he's like oh that's all Shack of the Mac big old Gary Trent senior a little bit te eyed from he's like oh it hurts my eyes are uh uh crying it's so funny it's it's a lot more uh safer work uh this time MJ so don't worry you won't be uh scarred if you go in and see Gary's uh new Instagram stories he's showing the work afterwards he's like man it's got me crying he like they ripped out all their hairs and then he's got this girl who's a little bit plus-sized doing crazy backflips like a ninja would and it says always believe in yourself and never give up it's pretty cool and then there's here's one with what you are talking about Gary Tren senior saying it's like a weird little white kid like going oh wow it's saying her her is saying you're the only guy I talk to and and then me like oh wow yeah this is kind of what y'all are talking about slim duck has got this funny picture of this little kid making this funny face in a seat belt and it's saying me looking at the mfer who decided to sit by me when there's a 100 empty seats oh I get along I know what you're saying about this Chris bue on TTC you'd be riding on a bus there's every seat on the bus is open but somebody wants to come and sit right next to you in your vicinity I'm like seriously could you just like go and take a section of the bus over there please I've never understood that and people that do that seriously I don't and then uh here's one where Chris is saying dad on how was life after social media and the guy is like uh on the computer and he's uh kind of dialing up like getting online or something like that I don't know what's going on there exactly Norman pal still in Hawaii he's doing some uh uh workouts and he's celebrating AA Wilson 41 points 17 rebounds on his Instagram one month until training camp and well Norman's already at training camp he's like a month early there's a really nice Baseline 360 Jam by Norman in his highlights on his Instagram right now very very cool stuff by Norman pow at the University of Hawaii hanging out in Hawaii right now early uh precious has got some wine on blast Silver Oak wine from Silver Oak sellers so check that out Jamal shed once again making his pictures so small I can't see what you're posting man because you make them so small he's saying that he had good ball in August so it sounds like Jamal shed got some good workouts in as a player in August so he's saying goodbye to August and hello to September Pascal seaka putting on blast Real Madrid I guess Mai did something and there's he's celebrating this the football and Legacy Scotty's got a nice picture of Scotty and summer mode with the glasses and the swim trunks at the pool yeah wake up it's the first of the month September 1st yesterday so there's your Instagram stories a little light on the Instagram stories it seems like a lot of the main Raptors are very radio silent right now so maybe they're finishing up their offseason of seeing people and being around people and then they'll be coming to Toronto more and more of them we know Scotty is in Toronto already uh and I'm sure a lot of the Raptors are already starting to come towards our city to get ready for training camp so who knows some of them may be coming in just to get acclimated as rookies and get set up with their place and kind of get their life oriented for the season as new Toronto Raptors and then some of the older guys that have been around the team for a while you know RJ's probably hanging out with all his friends in the 905 uh and his friends around Toronto before the season starts stuff like that who knows maybe some of them are going down to the CN Just Like Old villain Dylan Brooks who knows who knows that's right that's right Omari saying I love it I'm having a great weekend hope everyone here is enjoying the Monday off there you go Omari y'all seriously if y'all need a place to stay whether you need to rent a place or you are about to buy someplace with a mortgage Omari Parsons is a mortgage broker and he can help you out on the west side of the GTA around London and Waterloo and Hamilton and uh at toico massaga you know if you need help finding a place to live Omari Parson is your guy so look him up and he can help you find a place to live whether it's to rent or to to buy for mortgage he is that guy so talk to Amari please uh smooth saying yeah lifelong partner if you're lucky enough to find that person you know it's tough you know the thing is that we're all people that change and we are transitory as people sometimes people just aren't the same person as you met and they just change in different ways and that it's just natural in some ways I believe what y'all are saying is right it's in some very very rare to have somebody in your life for so so long in fact I was just talking to my parents yesterday they went to this wedding in Manitoba just last week and they were celebrated as the longest standing married couple at that wedding 54 years my parents have been married and uh you know that's a very big accomplishment in today's world there's so much out there that D pulls people apart and to be able to stay together like that is really really not easy and so in some ways I'm very very proud of the years my parents have had together because in some ways that's uncom in in today's age and that's sad it shouldn't be like that but once again like everything out there there's forces out there trying to divide us and pull us apart and it's harder than ever to stay together and it's tough whether whatever it is you know yeah it's tough uh Blackhawks saying Matt is remarried and became a proud girl dad this year there you go Matt Barnes uh moving on with his life from that hood rat is probably what he say Amari saying my nose and ear hairs are out of control I have droopy eyebrow hairs too that I can see my in per my periphery well all right that may be TMI Omari but listen maybe you need to go like Gary's dad to the nose people and get that hot wax up your nose now it's a little uncomfortable it looked weird when he was doing it because you know that wax that's in like The 40-Year-Old Virgin that they rip off of Steve Carell's back he's like a you know that's the same stuff they're using but up your nose so just imagine that and the other thing I worry about that for Gary Trent Senor is you know those nose hairs in your nose have a function they're not just there to annoy you because they grow L out of your nose and bug you no they're supposed to catch particle it and dust and also keep insects out of your nose so if you pull all your nose hairs out of your nose you ain't got no protection so I say look out Gary Trent Senor and don't get no particl it up in your nose is what I'm saying particl yeah yeah yeah there you go there you go um yeah and Cowboy's laughing yeah and uh smooth took his message back he's saying anyways I'm sorry I'm a little crazy today all right let me keep going on the uh what we got okay happy birthday 26th birthday to Nel Alexander Walker guys Team Canada's Nel Alexander Walker is 26 as of today of the Minnesota Timberwolves we' like to celebrate our team Canada guys just just as much too and of course once again I said Sam Mitchell's birthday is today happy birthday to Sam Mitchell he's turned UH 60 uh 61 today he's 61 I think 61 or no I think I think he's 60 he's 62 today no he's 61 he's 61 today is that right yeah he's 61 61 years today Sam Mitchell former coach of the Raptors uh coach of the year in 2007 uh guys I've got a very interesting thing coming up on this channel we're gon to be releasing the season 8 premieres of the Kensington variety VIP Club starting next week you're going to see some things on the YouTube channel where it's like going to have premier coming up and you guys can watch them when they come out I have not I got to thank Paul B for converting the files from Instagram to YouTube so that I can post them on YouTube and uh we'll be starting to post them on the five-year anniversaries starting next week for season eight of the Kensington variety VIP Club this is stuff that's never been released on YouTube until next week so this is gonna be brand new stuff uh coming out it's gonna be coming out just like uh the other stuff in the community tab so if you want to watch the old Kensington variety VIP Club and uh that's where to find it right there yeah so he was saying I have to go and look at your old videos yeah they're fun the the fiveyear an anniversary of the championship year is all there in some ways there's a playlist that's available that you can look at and you can see them all in a row they're short they're not very long you could probably watch like 20 episodes in the length of one of my streams like in two hours so but they're very interesting and in some ways the reason why I did it was to capture that time and place in uh the world in 2018 to 2020 in those two years A lot happened we won a championship in Toronto we had the pandemic they legalized cannabis in uh Canada and uh you know all this stuff is captured on there so in some ways that show is a time capsule of the way life was pre- pandemic pre- championship and then afterwards on both so it's a very interesting thing and of course because it's filmed in the convenience store in the historic Kensington Market in downtown Toronto that very very amazing neighborhood uh there's all kinds of interesting people that are on the show all the time because basically I was working in the convenience store that was my job I selling cigarettes Lottery uh all kinds of drinks and a customers would come in and I do games with them it was kind of like the Cash Cab he like oh you just got in the cab and you're on Cash Cab we're gonna ask you trivia questions it was we drive you to your destination well I'm doing the same thing to people in the store I'd say yeah you want to buy this Fanta well you can get this Fanta for free if you answer a trivia question so that's kind of what that show is about it also has some really funny like banter like a bargaining like i' take uh goods from the store that were expired and my boss said I could do this and like haggle with people for lower prices so there's there's a lot of different things and there's regulars on the show that were on all the time like Martin and Johnny and Lon and uh Steve and you get to even see some of the Raptor freaks on the show you see like Stevie r you see Nako the nacho show up on the show sometimes so it's kind of cool to see where I was at five years ago and so much has happened since then in fact in the later seasons of Kensington variety VIP Club I show me in lockdown after I go home from the store and I can't work in the store anymore because I don't want to because I'm like yeah I'm not gonna mess around the store and deal with a thousand people every day during the pandemic so I went home and I filmed a lot of episodes in lockdown at my house uh which are it's a very interesting transition and it really does get a real snapshot of those times in 2020 2020 uh 2019 around that time yeah Monique saying uh W stream W Vibes go rap Just For Life After free crew crew strong I agree with you Mo and thank you so much for being a big part of it Wayne saying getting rid of nose hairs is a bad idea it's a filter all all needed is trimming not total removal uh I thought a big man would know that money does not equal common sense as for usual yes she's he's disappointed Gary Trent senr that he's waxing his ear ear his nose hairs right on out yeah it's not a good it can be tough because in some ways that P passage that goes into your nose goes straight to your brain and yeah just think about it that way gross all right let's see what else do we have to do I think we're gonna have a quick stream today guys there isn't a whole lot of news it's kind of slow and it is a long weekend so I don't I don't know if I have anything else to do right now unless anybody else has a question or anything they want to say I'll do it wrap up and we'll get out of here uh let's see Sam Mitchell once again you are a Raptor's uh coach of the year you're a history part of our history uh coaching the Raptors during the Bosch years and U yeah up and down kind of thing with us in some ways there's a lot of things I love about you I love your personality in some ways and I love the way that you won the Atlantic division uh when you did and got the coach of the year but also at the same times don't be a two-c don't be a Harvey Dent and please remember that Raptor fans can hear you no matter where you're broadcasting from if you're down in the states don't assume that we're not seeing you on NBA TV because we are trust me we are seeing you and that's why Raptors fans the last couple years have signed petitions and said we don't want Sam Mitchell on the TSN broadcast anymore we don't want it to be like this Sam we want it to be where we're cool with you we don't mind you being the hard ass ordinary coach as long as it's good constructive criticism and that's fine but just putting down the team just for the hell of it kick it while it's down no that's a turnoff to most passionate loyal Raptor fans just so you know Sammy that's right that's right there yeah Mike's here good to see logical Raptor fanatic checking back in reese versus Clark WNBA is going wild at the moment yeah it's really good they've got some good momentum going into the postseason and maybe more and more eyes and people turning on the TV to watch the WNBA action
