The Bill Simmons Podcast, live on Netflix, a rare morning podcast. Kirk Goldsberry and Chris Ryan are here. Wanted to mention we put up the last episode of From Hell on the rewatchables. We did Pacific Heights, and I thought we had escaped from hell last month, but apparently we did it, because I have a story for you guys. So I'm just gonna, can you clear out for me? Yeah, it's all you. Just play some bass as I talk to the audience.
So I didn't have a reaction pod to this Jaylen Brown trade yesterday, because I was getting a colonoscopy, and it was supposed to be last week, and I screwed up the prep, and the time they had was July 1st at 3 p.m. Pacific time. And if I didn't take that time, I would have gone July 15th. So I'm like, all right, you know what? Like I can do a Thursday pod. I'm gonna get knocked out. So I'm watching the World Cup game, and then go in. Had a very similar experience to UCR, where the guy said, right as I'm about to get knocked out, he's like, where do you think LeBron's going?
I'm like, oh, maybe Denver.

**Kirk Goldsberry** (3:26)
And then I'm out.

**Bill Simmons** (3:28)
Wake up, and all I wanna know is what happened with the World Cup game. And the guy's like, oh, they just had penalty, there's a penalty kick, and actually saw the penalty kick and whatever. Come out, my wife's waiting to pick me up. And she goes, they traded Jaylen Brown. I'm like, I had just woken up from anesthesia, and I'm not, as you guys know, not really coherent. And I'm like, where'd he go? She's like, to Philly for Paul George and two first round picks.
And I'm like, I think I'm dead.
I think I died. The anesthesia killed me, and now I'm a dead person. And I'm like, and I'm just trying to process it. And it's, you know, it's like I have a head injury. And I'm like, is there more, are there more first round picks?

**Chris Ryan** (4:20)
Did they get the Clippers first?

**Bill Simmons** (4:22)
And she's like, Zoe's really upset. So now my daughter, who likes Jaylen Brown, and I'm like, all right, can you read me what the trade is? And she reads me the trade. And then I stumble out of this hospital place.
So when this trade happened at 320 Pacific Time, I had a camera in my ass and I had Paul George being rammed up my ass. And that was happening at the same time. And that's how I'm gonna remember July 1st, 2026 So we're driving home and I'm like, I'm like, should I do an emergency pod? And my wife's like, no, you're like, barely coherent.

**Chris Ryan** (4:59)
You probably start giving me your social security number.

**Bill Simmons** (5:03)
I would just be like, ah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So anyway, that's my story of finding out the traits. See, our story was a little more pleasant than mine because he had just finished, they had talked the Thrones pod, Van and Jomi. You tell the story.
