Right and shit. Betho Doudan,This is our guy, host of
Lakers post game on seventen ESPN playby play for Golden Boy Boxing Ondaz own
Instagram, Betho vision our guy Garcia. How long have you known Beto Duran?
(00:22):
Maybe around fifteen twenty years away,right, Betho, Yeah, man,
day one years, day one.What were you two guys getting into
back then? Nothing? Yeah?Right, Model citizen Benza. Where's the
suit? You can't get into anythingin his suit? No, here's the
thing though, there weren't a latinosback there. So it's just me and
Jeff. So we knew to behaveat the Lakers press room, brother Ah
(00:45):
smart smart play smart play Lakers homeopener tonight versus the Suns. I think
we got this right, yo,Betho. As Lebron being the oldest in
the NBA officially, bro, whatcan we expect from Lebron tonight? Al
Right, Lebron James look either histwenty four year but if you add all
the playoff games, all team Usathe Olympic stuff. He's probably been around
twenty five years as a professional.So Lebron James is going to be about
(01:10):
thirty minutes at the expectation for him. He's still a freak. Spend billions
of dollars making sure that his bodyis in great shape. But Lebron isn't
the Lebron of a few years ago. But if he's still on the court,
he's still somebody to mess with,huh. You know the other day
against the Nuggets, you know,Lakers kept climbing their way back into the
game, but it was kind oftough to watch Lebron leave in a critical
(01:30):
moment. How much are we goingto see that this year? Because the
plus minus favors the Lakers when Lebronis on the floor. You know,
yeah, that's the thing. Lebronis going to change the game because you've
got to pay attention to him.So, like I said, he's gonna
play about thirty minutes a game.That's where they want to have him because
this Laker team is pretty good andyou should see them at least get to
the Western Conference Finals as expectation.Again, if everybody stays healthy, but
(01:53):
Lebron isn't going to be your dudewho's carrying you forty plus minutes, So
they want to keep them in atime limit somewhere around a thirty minute ring.
Sure, And you know you sayhealthy, right, I think of
Anthony Davis. You know who canbe healthy and mister glass and hurt himself.
You know that can happen respectfully,respectfully, respectfully stap it. But
(02:15):
yo, So I mean what happensthere, right? And is a lot
expected from Anthony Davis to do it? Is in his prime, They gave
him all that money. It's essentiallyhis team. Lebron has said, hey,
this is your team. It's timeto take charge. So the other
night he only had uh, seventeenpoints in the first half and zero in
(02:35):
the second half. You can't dothat. It's like you're gonna lay out
a track and all of a suddenyou only do half of it, like,
oh, I'll get to it later, Like no, no mind,
you gotta finish the whole song.Yeah. Yeah, you gotta do that
every single time, every single night. So he can't be the ad that
disappears. If you're gonna think you'rea championship team, the dude has to
bring in every single line. Sothe second half zero points the other night,
that's terrible, it's unacceptable. That'snot who is gonna be. And
(02:57):
if he's doing that, then forgetforget it, like you ain't even gonna
worr about the playoffs because these guysneeds to show up every single night.
It's his time. You know.Anthony Davis is just like Letto. He
could be really great when he's herein the studio, but half the show
he's gone. So it's like,you know what I mean, like Anthony
Davis and lets you from the sameclub. I know, I don't know.
(03:19):
You know what, if I'm achettle, that's cool because you're calling
me Anthony Davis. If you're AnthonyDavis, you're calling me exactly that Edo
is a brokecast Anthony Davis. No, you know you you call a d
mister Glass. Let's just mister assn. Meanwhile, he's giving blood somewhere right
(03:39):
now. You're doing something nice.What's up, Jack bet? If I
send you my fantasy basketball roster,you can help me af throughout the season.
The first time I'm in the fantasyleague. So the idea of what
I'm doing, I guarantee you,you know, way more than me or
Jeff, because you actually care aboutyour team. Me and Jeff, you
(04:00):
know what we're gonna do. Yeah, that looks good. That looks good
because the old guys we're like,yeah, where's he worthy at? You
know, like you you care andyou're gonna win. So no, I'm
terrible. That's a good move.She always asked me for help to and
you know, I tell her thesame thing. I'm busy driving around my
kids to basketball practice. I don'thave time for fantasy. Right. Jeff's
(04:21):
kids will know way more than us. They would know. He did say.
He did say that. You knowthat the boys were gonna help me.
You can pay them in prime,you feel me, prime drinks,
gift cards and you're good. That'sright, that's right. Hey, Bethel
Austin Reeves, I mean this guy'sa hooper. Yeah, I mean he's
gonna do it this year. Thedude is a scratch golfer, so don't

from a small town. Remember therewas the rumors that he was Yeah,
there was a rumor that he wasdating like Taylor Swift, Like that was
made up by a Clippers employee justbecause they did that, right, Austin
Reeves. His brother even said,like, we know this is a lie
because there's no way you even goto a bar, Like, there's no
(05:05):
he doesn't go anywhere. This guy. All he cares about is hooping,
about playing. He's gonna be yourthird option, He's gonna get the he
got the big contract. He canshoot, he gets down and if you
talk to him, he still hasthat like little Southern twine to him.
But it's not like he came outof nowhere. This dude was a big
time college athlete. He's a ballerand he knows what's up man Like.
He's such a cool dude. Yeah, he practices that mama mentality. Dude.
(05:29):
I mean when you're not drafted andyou come to the Lakers and you

brought in some fresh talent, youknow, from the bench and the second
unit gave Vincent cam reddish some ofthose people like a scale of one to
ten, Like, how would yourate the Lakers bench this this year,
because that's gonna be a big factor. Bro. The second unit's got a
uh, they're good, but yougot to figure somethings out. They left
(06:14):
around a seven. That what wesaw the other night. When you know
Lebron goes off, these guys needto step up. And you have guys
that have been around the league andnot to pick the junsters, but they're

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
