Thursday, March 26, 2026 - Part 2

The views and opinions expressed on analyzing this are entirely those of the

on-air participants and do not reflect those of the station's board, management, staff, or underwriters.

And we're back here, I analyze this one, thank the Virginer's house in authority, and for making it, making Mr. Executive Director Alexander available to meet him for the first time, and I'm looking forward to talking with him.

And before we get into our conversation with Dr. Grinsey, I'm Center for the Arts, we got Mr. Lopez and Underline for Virginer's Board on Power TARDIS, so updates for us. Good morning, Madam Corporate Communications Director, how are you?

Good morning, I'm doing well, thank you, how are you doing today?

I'm good, I'm good, glad to hear your voice.

Appreciate it, I appreciate the time as well.

We had mentioned yesterday and a couple days prior that we had hoped to be able to end the restoration with the bring-on line of unit 15.

However, when crews began the starting-up sequence last night, they did find that the oil pump was defective, delaying progress.

And so they did continue to work extensively throughout the evening yesterday to address the issue, but they made the decision to complete the replacement this morning, which they have done already.

But they wanted to ensure that they didn't run into any fatigue-related risk last night and then show the job was done safely.

So lots of progress has been happening. Yesterday also completed the reassembly, of course, before the restarting process.

Now the full procedure is a very lengthy one when it comes to restarting. It can take several hours.

The unit is still expected to return to service by early evening today once all the safety checks are finalized.

So until that does occur and unit 15 is back online, we do have a tentative rotational outlet schedule in effect for the same time as St. John district.

And it has changed a bit as we've been pretty consistent over the last few days on the same schedule, but we do have some changes today, or hopefully what is the final day of rotation for St. Thomas and St. John.

Okay. Do you want to give that right now? Absolutely. All right. So we're anticipating the schedule is going to begin about 930.

Now this does depend on low demand. So it may be slightly delayed, but once it does begin the initial outage from 930 to 1130, and it's going to be theatre 8B.

That includes honors retreat, hospital ground, line of Robert, Megan Bay, Pizza Borg, Polly Borg, Skyline Drive, St. Joseph and Rosendoll, Wind Borg, and Fender Plaza from 1130 AM to 130 PM, theatre 7A.

That's Agnes Fancy, Altona Wellguns, Bon Resolution, Carat Bay, Content, Dorcia, Halby, Mahagini, Miran Hoi, Stool Borg, St. Peter Mountain Road, Crown Bay, Marina, and Miss an portion of Niske Center and North Star Village from 130 PM to 330 PM, that's theatre 8A, including a portion of Niske Center,

Savan, Anas Fancy, Content, Garden Street, a portion of Hospital Ground, Linton, Fancy, a portion of Mahagini, a state, as well as Harborview, Backstreet, Vesta Gata, from 330 PM to 530 PM, that's going to be theatre 6A.

Bon SRAN, Borough, Botany Bay, Born Field, UCI, Crown Mountain, Portions of Content, Fortuna, Hope, Limburg Bay, Portions of Niske Center, Santa Maria, Scott Free, Portions of Stool Borg, Photo Town, and Water Island, from 530 PM to 730 PM, theatre 10B, including a State Bakaro,

untilies, BCB, Bolongo, Borough, Portions of a State Thomas, Green Key, Marina, Portions of Haven, PMP, Garden, and see you home, from 730 PM to 930 PM, including theatre 7B, which is 1st Avenue, 6th Street, 7th Street, 8th Street, 9th Street, 10th Street,

Lockhart Gardens, Dunhu Bay Path, as well Harris Court, Puebloam, hometown gas station, Mandal, Wheatley Center, Portions of a State Thomas, Sugar State, Grappoon Hill, and Teber & Harmony.

This time may also include theatre 8B, only as low demand, from 730 PM to 930 PM, portions of energy treat, portions of Tannenberg, portions of Hospital Ground,

Nine of Robert, Maffali, Megan Stil, Megan St, excuse me, Polybog, Pizza Borg, Ross, Tannenberg, Skyline Drive, the Denders Plaza, portions of Wynn Borg, St Joseph & Rosendoll, as well as Emancipation Garden Park, and lastly from 930 PM to 1130 PM,

theatre 7C, including portions of energy treat, portions of Cassie Hill, portions of Dunhu Bay Path,

four Wynn's Plaza, Hidden Valley, new to two, old to two, seven days, portions of Smith Bay, to two High Rise, Cassie Hill, portions of Emerald Hill,

Freedom Doll, and Margarita Vale.

Restoration may be delayed, upwards of 15 minutes, and if we happen to have any changes to the rotational out of schedule, we will send those out via the WAPA Alert.

Now, we have seen over the last few days some extenuating situations where a theatre is impacted, that's not part of the rotation.

And we do also send updates about that via WAPA Alert indicating what we have been not caused, and hopefully when possible, or always when possible, sharing when the estimated time of restoration.

We may still have outages beyond the schedule, but we'll be sure to keep already updated about those.

So, let me run through this real quick. 930 to 1130, 8B.

Right, and that's not said mostly?

Yes.

Okay, 1130 to 1130, 7E.

And that's the include soulbook on the area.

Yes.

130 to 330 PM.

That's 8E.

Right?

That's Pasad Niskey, and that will be the French down area down there by...

That's the Van Gogh.

That's the Van Gogh.

So Van Gogh, Van Gogh, Van Gogh, Van Gogh, Van Gogh, Van Gogh, Van Gogh, Van Gogh.

And then 330 to 530.

Feed a 6A.

That's border on one west-hand side, UVI.

Coenters down the side, right?

Yes.

And then 530 to 730.

Feed a 10B.

You said Baka with us.

The south side, by Frenchmen's reef on that area over there.

Yes.

Until he's...

Until he's heading south, heading out east.

And then 730 to 930.

Feed a 9B.

And maybe portions of 8B.

Right?

That's Sugar State.

And the whole area there?

Wheatley?

Yes.

7B and 8B.

Okay, so it might be 7B and 8B.

Okay.

And then the Anna's retreat area from 930...

That's country.

930 to 1130.

And what feed is that?

7C.

7C.

Okay.

All right.

And that's...

That's the country, right?

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7 rotation periods running between 930 to 1130.

That's cool.

930 to 1130 in the morning and 930 at night.

Okay.

All right.

So I think we've informed the people to the best ability and hoping to rectify the problem

by when you go wait for a part to come in or you'll get a part and they're working on it.

They got the parts.

They're working on it.

And we're staying early evening, but we're hoping it's up and running before them.

Okay.

General Peterson, thank you very much.

Appreciate you.

And informing the...

Allowing us to help you inform the public as to the rotation schedule given what the problems are unit 15 providing to the water and power target.

Thank you very much.

Absolutely.

You're welcome.

All right.

All right.

That's not General Peterson.

Director of Corporate Communication from the Virgin Islands.

Water and power at 30.

Good morning, ladies.

Good morning.

Lisa Morthurst.

How are you?

Good morning.

Good morning.

You want to introduce your guests?

Yes.

Absolutely.

Good morning, everyone.

And we also have someone on the lane.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, we do.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Introduce yourself, sir.

Thank you.

All right.

Take care.

Here in St. Thomas.

Okay.

How are you?

Good.

Okay.

So Lisa, we're going on big expansion project.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

So good morning, everyone.

My name is Lisa Morthurst.

I'm the executive director of CMC Arts.

And I have with me here a board member, Stephanie Felix.

She's here in the senior.

Good morning.

Thank you for having us.

Good morning, how are you?

And yes, we are here with some very exciting news.

We are expanding to St. Thomas, St. John Water Island area,

to provide access to the entire Virgin Islands,

to our programming, our arts programming.

Awesome.

Felix, how are you?

I'm doing well.

I'm excited.

I'm happy to be here to support CMC Arts.

And this expansion is very, very, very good for the Virgin Islands.

I was talking to Lisa when I first joined the board.

I grew up on St. Croix.

Who is Stephanie?

Who is Stephanie?

If you're okay, get to know Stephanie Felix.

Oh, good morning.

You did?

The local question.

The local question.

So I'm born and raised cushion.

Who's up here?

Hope here.

Me and Julio Felix are my parents.

They worked at the hospital and the psychiatric unit.

Once upon a time when we had that.

I went to Ricardo Rich's.

Johnny's Woodson, Central High School.

A carib.

A carib.

True and true for the rest of my life.

I love CMC Arts.

Thinking about when I was a child growing up in Ricardo,

a field trip to a place like CMC Arts would have been the highlight

of my entire elementary school experience.

And it's now the highlight of the experience for 2000 children.

I visit the museum.

It's phenomenal.

I left most of my adult life in the state.

So New York, Austin.

Yes.

So almost 20 years.

I came back home about two years ago.

And the first thing that came to mind is how can I be of service

to the community and take everything that I learned,

the wisdom, the experience, the love, pull it together,

and do some good and CMC Arts came up in my mind.

So I reached out to Lisa and said, hey, you know,

I want to be a part of the board.

And she said, yes.

And we've been incredible partners since.

And things are just continuing to grow and expand.

One of the goals we talked about when I first joined is in 50 years

for CMC Arts to be a hub of art and culture in the Caribbean.

And this is a wonderful, exciting step in that direction.

You're into art.

You're into art.

If you're into art.

I'm into art.

Yes.

So my background is corporate.

I worked in finance tech.

But there's always been an undercurrent.

You know when you're a child, you just playing with things, crafts,

and I've always loved it.

And so it's nice to come back and bring into my life something I've always enjoyed

but haven't always had the time for.

So art and creativity.

And I think, if you think about the expansion, moving into St. Thomas,

this idea of one version, which I know Lisa will talk about,

when I think about what connects the islands, isn't it, you know,

our culture?

And art is a big part of that.

And so we were excited.

Tell me about Jay.

That's your name, Jay.

Jay.

Jay.

David.

David Sheer is on the call.

So David Sheer is part of 15 and 9 LLC.

Who are our wonderful partners.

Who really are providing this opportunity for us.

And it's been a joy working with 15 and 9 LLC.

And I'll leave it to David to talk about the project a little bit more.

Mr. Sheer, good morning.

Good morning, sir.

So about two years ago, we've had a 50-year relationship with St. Thomas.

And so five zero newcomers to the islands.

Okay.

And so we purchased a building on Main Street, a cost-and-pomp passage,

that was in terrible condition, hadn't had anybody in here in 15 years,

and was really ruined by the hurricanes.

And we made a commitment to take this historic building

and try to convert it into a venue for the citizens of St. Thomas.

And we've done that through the help of the historic committee,

and Sean Krieger, and everybody down here.

And so we're now at the point where we can now utilize the space for what our vision was.

And we got introduced to Lisa and CMCA, and my wife and I,

and our other partners, fell in love with the idea of trying to expand

the studio or the museum to St. Thomas.

So that's where we are, and we've worked out a relationship.

I am now on the board of CMCA so that I can try to help guide,

as best I can, the expansion into St. Thomas.

And that's where we are, Neville.

It's been a really, really nice relationship.

And the idea of bringing a museum and culture and alternative experiences

for both the kids and the adults and the seniors really is exciting to us.

Lisa.

Yes, sir.

William L.

Timing.

Well, it's a little bit serendipitous really.

You know, this was on a long wish list.

We would entertain the conversation once in a while, you know,

as a far off future.

And then we met David and Carol Scheer and 15 and 9 LLC.

And it's just an incredible opportunity and too good to be true to say no.

We couldn't say no.

We have to try.

So here we, here, the opportunity landed in our lap, and here we are trying it.

Let's feel like the board comes up with this move ready for this move.

The board is more than ready.

We are asking for the dates of the open in the launch.

You know, I've been Lisa knows.

I've been texting her all week with ideas about membership and growth

and how we communicate this diversionally.

So we get them as excited as the board is and the CMCR's wonderful staff is.

And make sure that we continue the messaging of this being a community effort, right?

Because CMCR's has been based on St. Corey.

Now we're expanding to St. Thomas.

What does that mean?

It means one of Virgin Islands.

It means that we're continuing to spread our culture throughout the Virgin Islands,

bring the young people into the fall and then eventually continue to expand throughout the Caribbean.

And so this is a big vision.

And it's incredible to see us making such a huge stride towards it.

And right now, because I think we need more opportunities for people to hone in on creativity and community.

And CMCR's offers that in St. Corey.

No offer in St. Thomas.

And St. John.

Absolutely.

And Water Island.

And Water Island.

And the BVI.

And the BVI.

And whoever else wants to come.

Yes.

Yes.

That's awesome.

Wow.

So from a time length standpoint, how do you want to go about making this a reality?

So the build out is actually close to being finished.

And we are hoping for a soft opening this summer.

We get our sea legs on and in time for high season December.

But that all relies on finding the right person to manage the space.

So we will do a big push for job search.

So we are currently looking for a museum manager.

To manage the retail museum store.

Which mirrors what St. Corey looks like.

So it will function exactly the same way.

And the gallery space.

The programming for the exhibitions will still be generated through.

I'm the lead for the exhibition.

So it will still generate that way.

But this museum manager will need to facilitate.

Okay.

Take a break.

We got the CMC arts.

A curbing museum center for the arts here joining us.

They got a big expansion project taking place.

It's downtown.

Downtown Main Street.

Downtown Main Street.

So we'll take a break and be back right after this.

I'm going to get something like a morning David.

How are you?

I good morning.

Oh, the better part of David Sheer is on the line as well, right?

This is Janet.

Janet Cook right next.

Surprise surprise.

This Janet Rutney.

Yes.

Yeah.

Hey, Mommy.

Janet Cook Rutney.

Thank you.

My artist full name.

Janet Cook Rutney.

Mommy, how are you?

I'm well thanks to you.

When you're going to look, how come you're going to look up

I ain't here for me in a long, long time.

What's up?

Well, I've been busy making art.

Oh, you sound like, you sound like Luther in 48 hours

I've been busy.

Yeah.

So I like that.

I like that.

Yes, I have that.

How's the family?

Everyone's well.

Thank you.

Let's go tell Andy.

Tell Andy, tell my name.

Sick.

I said, hello.

I will.

I will.

He might even be listening.

Good thing.

Good thing, good thing.

So you're excited about this project in same time as

where you can show off all that beautiful work of yours?

I'm absolutely thrilled.

I mean, I'm over the moon.

I just think it's an incredible thing.

I know that our dear friends, the late candy out water shields

would be so thrilled.

You know, she founded the Caribbean Museum Center in St. Croix

over 30 years ago.

And she passed away last year.

I know she would be so happy to see this expansion,

this huge success from what started out basically in the basement

of this beautiful building in St. Croix

that had to be restored thanks to Warren Mosler and others

and has become an incredible exhibition space,

a museum, a place of contemplation,

and all sorts of wonderful things.

And now we're going to have an actual museum in St. Thomas,

which is throwing.

There's been nothing like that since the Fort Close.

It was a little museum and a fort for a Christian for years.

And that hasn't been functioning.

So we have no real museum in St. Thomas.

And a museum, you know, is very different from commercial galleries

and showing art and gift shops.

And, you know, a museum is, you know,

it's a special place that houses all of the artifacts,

the history, the culture, the best that's been produced in a place.

Well, there was a time when Senator...

My name is Jackson.

My name is Jackson Wantit,

a retrofit or whatever the word, appropriate word is,

Desi Antoneo's job is school.

I thought that was an excellent idea.

I think the RT Park wanted to piggyback on that as well.

Yes, it is a wonderful idea.

And I think that he and I think Nadine Marchana

are working on that.

It's not an easy thing.

No.

It was a lot of struggle for years finding funding and everything, but it's so worth it, and I'm just so happy that

Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts is coming to St. Thomas, because then you're not starting from the ground up.

Mm-hmm, this one. David, David's here already did that park.

No, we're grateful. We're grateful. What's it? 15 at night, baby?

15 at 9 LLC. 15 at 9 LLC. And you know, Neville, the reason why I asked Janet to join the call is

because once again, Janet Cook-Rutnik is at the root of great things happening at CMC Arts.

She was instrumental in working with our founder, Candia Atwater Shields, right from the beginning,

to bring up CMC Arts. And now she has, she is the connector between CMC Arts and 15 at 9,

David's here on the call here. So we're grateful, Janet. Thank you very much. Thank you for that, Lisa.

It's, I'm grateful to everybody for carrying this this forward. I'm here speaking primarily

as an artist from that perspective. That's my intention. And the importance of the museum,

this museum, and a museum to me is the fact that without this kind of context, it's not possible

to show a lot of the work that contemporary artists like myself are making.

You can't show these installations and a lot of the things that I produced with colleagues,

with collaborators for the transfer project that we started in 2000. And we received our first

grant from Candia in support. And we presented many shows over the years that worked Frederick

in St. Croix and that Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts. As I said, even before the building was

restored, we didn't have a second floor. Recently I was asked to present something for transfer

at the St. John Historical Society. So I put together a presentation showing highlights from these

exhibitions. And for example, we worked a lot with the travel ID papers that were issued in 1918

to Virgin Islanders wanting to travel to the mainland Europe wherever. And at that time,

one year after transfer, at the time of transfer, the Danes had no idea who was here in the Virgin

Islands where they were from, how many people, there were nothing. So these travel ID papers,

I don't know if you've seen them, had all this little descriptive information and these beautiful

portraits. And this is on like an eight and a half by 11 piece of paper. So these portraits were small,

but they were beautiful and very poignant. So we took, we took a lot of those images. We had them

printed on, sorry. Janet, David is still working on the space. So that's what you're hearing in the

background. I'll probably go ahead. Oh, sorry. So anyway, we printed these tiny photos on eight and

half by 11 sheets of transparent mylar. We sketched them together and hung them in the gallery.

And they were four by five foot transparencies that created these beautiful shadows on the wall.

You could walk through them. We did videos based on the original footage from 1917, all sorts of

projects. These are not things that can be shown in a gallery, for example. They're not necessarily

for sale. A museum contains artwork that is beyond the scope of a picture you put in your wall.

So that's why it's so important to me to and other contemporary Virgin Islands artists. When I say

contemporary artists, I mean artists who are working with whatever means photography, video,

paint, collage, installation, to show the concept, the idea that is what the work starts with oftentimes

conceptual work, reference, referencing history, culture, you know, the environment, all sorts of

issues. Wow. Miss Felix, that's near and dear to you, huh? Yes. Thank you for asking because that's

what's on my mind as I'm hearing her talk. It's so much more than most people think. Like artists are

history, you know, talking about transfer day and who we are as a people and the fact that the museum

creates a space for us to tell that story in a more expansive way that you might then you might

see at a gallery. It's powerful. It's a force. It's a place to generate conversation and talk about

the past and the future as well. It's all of it kind of coalescing in one space and so I just

saw appreciate listening to Janet Cook right next speak and have that reminder right because we

talk about the kids and we love the kids and we talk about these these pieces but there's so many

different elements that go into what the museum is able to do and the space that is creating and I

think you'll see also in the press release in addition to a job opportunity to call for artists and

creatives and maybe interested in showing up and this is I mean it's a it's a win across the

board for everyone for artists, museum managers, people that care about the culture,

the care about our history, that care about our future. What are we doing on Tuesday?

Is there anything that's going to be done on this transfer day or that's something that

I'm just caught right now just talking about going forward in terms of no we don't have

things planned. Nothing planned for Tuesday. Okay, okay, good. So Mr. Rodney, you're

you're there's cook right next to your head. You excited about the same time as project?

I am thrilled as I said I'm just thrilled that we're able to present this just as a left speaker

said I'm so eloquently about what a museum is and what it does for a community and for the soul

so I'm really excited about it. I didn't think it could happen as fast and it's only because of

Lisa and the Caribbean Museum Center and their staff and you know their their interests and

and ability to do this. It's phenomenal. It's pretty impressive.

And the students. As far as I'd like to just say sorry I didn't have that yes. The next year

Neville will be the 110th anniversary of transfer. So perhaps we will we will do something

make a presentation but it's it's really interesting because that's the role that a museum plays

in things for example that we chose that my collaborators and myself chose transfer as a place

to sort of begin with an exploration of migration and identity which are big issues of course

in the world and also in the Caribbean. As a starting point and there were still people

a number of people I interviewed Ursula Krieger, Auntie Sula who at that time was 107 she'd been 15

at the transfer so the it's not that far in the past you know there are still memories and so

the work that we did was to sort of reconnect that those and live and breathe breathe air

into life into these stories and images to reconnect with that part of our history.

So maybe next year we'll we'll do another presentation.

Mm-hmm, that makes sense. The new location will be housed within the 15 and 9th historic

redevelopment at 15 Drone Against Gata. Our revitalized main street property that blends heritage

architecture with modern retail and community focus space designed to support local businesses,

artists and creative enterprises. The development is a part of a broader effort to restore

Shaola Mali's historic district while strengthening its economic and cultural vitality and this

makes all the sense in the world Lisa. Thank you. We think so. We're extremely proud to be expanding

our programming to the entire Virgin Islands so it means a lot. You know our mission is Caribbean

wide. Our mission is to preserve and promote the art and culture of the Caribbean and so this

this excuse me this gives us an opportunity to finally serve our entire Virgin Islands for the

first time. So from our timeline when we're looking for opening it. So we're looking our goal

is first off opening the summer. Okay. And then you know we'll we'll do some ribbon cutting when

when we feel ready but to have doors open and available to the public the summer is the goal.

It absolutely requires a highly skilled manager to run the space. So we are we are looking. You can

find that job posting on our website cmcarts.org and if you go to go to career interest on the

website you'll find it there. This is a high-level managerial position and I know somebody's out

there. We have a lot of fun at our it's not really a job it's a passion and so step up somebody's

out there. We need you. I was thinking about says Lisa was talking wanting to really share with

the listeners what we envision kind of like the vibe for the space you know and synchroi it's

almost always an open house at cmcrs you have children come in you have workshops you have music

it's constant I think the vision for St. Thomas is also the same. So for thinking about this

opportunity which is a phenomenal opportunity you're going to be here at the you know the ground floor

building up think about it also as like a cultural curator a type of role right when you're stepping

into we want to create a space that feels inclusive and there's a good vibe it's creative people

feel welcomed you can go in there and get a gift or do a workshop we bring in the children and

they're learning ceramics or stained glass we want to create that same type of energy in the new

space so we're looking for people that are open to stepping in and lead the charge to get that done

yeah absolutely absolutely well I want to come in now how you thank you going forward and feel

free to reach out to us in the future to let us know what we could do to continue to support you

when it's the last time you stop by the museum cmcrs the last time we see you now he loves that conversation

I see a spark so I don't know if that's good or

miss right Nick I want to know one of you one of your fans one of your fans said that your

pieces should be a permanent thing at the career museum center for the arts I hope you notice

that I deflected it was a good deflection so we're good Lisa Lisa um text me just now and she says

she just thought she'll be permanent uh looking forward to talking with all you gotta get again

right Kevin Durant Kevin Durant Kevin Durant and he plays right from Texas correct

you're right Texas one year and and he won all the player the era was in his in his freshman

outside outside of DC DC come from a mount mount something mount mount Zion or some Zion something

uh in in the Maryland area so check this out Lolo he's off he was off for the whole night at one

point I believe he was three for 14 right yeah and the the dead behind and I want to audience

this outscore um Minnesota 13 to 2 to send the game to overtime at 95 95 scored the first 13

points of overtime Lolo so in effect that was an extended 26 to 2 run leading by 13 with 247 to go

in overtime and Minnesota come back and score the next 15 points and win that game I've never seen

anything like that never in a hot way you start to rock it it's my enough one I mean it got to win

by one I want to to win your money yeah to lose money on a game like that you know Lolo they played

against they played against yeah they played against your new york mix about a month ago

they were leading by 18 points in the fourth quarter and last game Kevin do I he's a good player

but you can't win with him though you can't win with him as your best player is what you're saying

no you can't win there as your best player he did before the ball too much yeah he really he really

don't have that that that that I got a tech third you like to play the game right if you're open

give it to you yeah but he's such a sharp sugar he should be more greedy I agree to you do you know

that it should be like it should be like a pose there that we call never he's not my will you be

the same originally Pee we but but the but the second make me come because he don't pass the ball at all

yeah we'll be the same yeah but they say but how are nice though yeah we love that you

love that I'm Pee we have better farms and everything but Pee we was more hungry for the game yeah

yeah and Willy Boat was more yelling yelling for me oh gosh we got a Willy Boat a pretty jump shot

pretty jump shot good farm oh he had one he had one a Yankee looking shot he had a correct release what

while he was getting a lot of Houston type jump shot yes wow he didn't arch it to the beginning but

straight shot what release oh you are like you are like injury shoot down I don't know you know

who's one of the purest shooters in the basketball I've ever seen and don't get enough credit the

purest missing I could think the purest shooter well I think this one well I think now he

had a he he was he was a way name he was a mid-range specialist I'm talking about a man that

goes shoot from all over 30 feet 30 feet yeah I'm going go on more like 25 feet oh god you're measuring

no let me see jump shot jump shot he had oh I'm a value was a shot shooter but this one this one

actually had two names the names he parents give him and the names that he took for his religion

oh yeah man very sharp he's one from LSU oh my gosh yeah the originally known as Chris Jackson

but he took his name Mark mood Abdul Raouf Lolo Lolo he had the prettiest and the release was perfect

everything everything and when and you know that he went slam dunk competition at six one or

however how I hate he was when he being in high school yeah money what you would remember he

was Chauvin he was Chauvin in high school you know yeah all the time all the time LSU was big at the

mouth LSU he way Shaquille and I do this Stanley Roberts they had a big big team but but

but but to lose how Houston lose them game last last night really shows the importance of why

you need a good conductor oh my god and every team yeah because if that boy didn't get hurt

Fred Van Vliet they would have been right up there with San Antonio and okay see this year

yeah because there are a couple of complete points yeah I think I think if I take off you see if I

take off I think five five four years and take off about 60 points I could play point

bonion was a strange boy leave he wrote the symptoms he cleared the heart he was

defensively trying to check some of the things I might have got got but you know and he

might be laughing we have you see that when you got going to say well then you want in the

don't think I don't think Boosa is that good. I know he's great. I

know he's great. I don't like him because he don't jump to

the roof, but he's so fundamentally song and does

everything right? I love his game. He's fundamentally, he's

fundamentally like Duncan. That's a closer, Duncan. But a lot

of people ain't close to Duncan. You know who don't come

but he's fundamental like Duncan. He can't he can't jump. Never

I see some seven photos in the blocking shot. No, no, Virginia

never Virginia step outside. I hit the J. I bet you won't be

the first pick in the job. Probably not the category I'm

probably picked the boy. This I'm tough from the from from

probably is the best player in the job from BYU. The boy from

Kansas. The boy from Kansas did himself a disservice how he

manages for season. Do you know what? Which one? Yeah,

Richeson or something, right? That's your name, something.

Peter. Peter said, he doesn't. You're right. Yeah.

Yeah, but uh, so we name, uh, also, so, so three

number one seeds make it. Oh, somebody in that coat, uh, I

Florida. Florida was a one seed to write. Yeah, so they

lost. So we got Duke against in Jones and Michigan against

Yukon in the East in the South. Iowa and Nebraska. And then

we got Illinois and Houston. And then in the West, we got

Arizona and Arkansas. Texas and Purdue. And then in the

Midwest, Michigan and Alabama, that can be a very good game

and Tennessee and Iowa state. Don't come come to in

with a blue gene against Duke. You know, St. John's can't

get can be do they'll get bloke. Alright, alright, you can

get bloke. I mean, I know I know it's pretty I know and I

all that stuff nice but don't get bloke. Well, don't get

bloke. Do come blow them up. Do your blood bloke, no team.

Duke blowing. Without without a cushion in the line up, they

kind of blow that note. You got that point there. Tell it

before the cushion. No way. Name, um, that way. Name son,

Taj, Taj, Taj, Taj Abraham Sun, Ralph, Ralph, Ralph Abraham grandson, Patrick Nobongo, sometimes I think he named it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, he got big, he got big, he got big, good man, he got big, it's a good time in the year man.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's a first-round player if you come out this year, but I think he might want to do one more, no.

What do you think?

I don't like your game.

I don't think you're ready for the food yet.

A lot of these children ain't ready for the food, but the money is so big, little.

And they say he's going to get lost in the polls.

If he goes to the run, if he goes to the run, he gets lost in the polls.

But you know something?

The game's so good.

We didn't have it like that.

As a lot of shops might kill them, make sure they're a bit above.

They can play in college now.

Okay.

A quick question for you.

What do you guys think about Wembee saying the criteria for the MVP is flawed?

Is he correct?

Yes or no?

Yes.

I agree.

100%.

Okay.

Look at that.

Look at that.

30 shots a game.

That's ridiculous, little.

I know, Victor is the best player in the National Park.

No, no, no, no.

No.

He's the best two-way player.

The best player is a dude named Nicola Yochuch.

No.

He don't have to score.

He doesn't have to score.

Yeah, I'm going to have to score.

I know they do this nice one.

Gotta go, little.

Okay.
