 We get to talk basketball, I love it. Yeah we do, we get to talk basketball. By the way, in case you were living under a rock best, highlights best name, Pukinakua, had a hell of a breakout year. Okay, no press cover. I mean look, that's a valid question, but we got you here, we're going to talk some hoops. We'll get to some football at some point as well, but in Utah, you played high school ball? About 100%. Tell me about your game, your position. I honestly, not a lot of tall people in Utah. I think I might have played the four at 6'1, yeah. It's crappy. Yeah exactly, but I think I was like, I like to say I'm versatile, I got some shooting out. Defense is probably my strong suit, I play with speed, but basketball, I play in a wide receiver, I got lateral agility, I don't know how consistent my shot is, but I'll knock it down at the free throw line for sure. Okay, there you go. Now I look good, count on the gimmies, I'll get the gimmies, I'll get the gimmies. I looked up your high school stats. Oh wait, wait, don't say it, don't say it. You had a handful of games with 20 plus points. Did you, in high school, did you have games to, you know, aspiring NBA player, or was it always football? I played for XMLE, I played in the Ditas, Gauntlet and stuff like that, I wanted to play, you basketball, everybody always told me I was better at football, so I just, I stopped putting extra time to get shots up in the gym, I was like, let me get on the football field. And I'm not 6'7 either, so I was like, they're like, hey, you can't play the four for us, you're 6'1, and I was like, all right, that doesn't make sense, coach, that's valid. Makes sense, and as basketball, or any of that training or your childhood plan, has that helped you on the football field at all? No, 100%, like I think as a receiver of how press release, like a release is at the line, it's like, that's your crossover, you're a double up, like I try to get cooped to play with me all the time, because those are the same movements, like if I, and then especially running like some of our pivot routes, like our return routes, like that's a, if you've got a good basketball pivot, like you know how to put your foot in the ground, like you can run routes for sure, for sure. If you lace them up right now. Here we go. Give you 30 minutes in the NBA basketball game, how many points you're putting on the board? I think I could get 15 for sure. Here we go. 30 minutes, 30 minutes, if I'm gonna play, do I get subbed out? Okay, no. So 30 minutes of yours, you think you can make a jump first? No, no, no, no, I'm fast, I can dunk, I can dunk for sure, like, oh yeah, I mean you're ready to go, yeah, you're ready. What are you talking about? Yeah, I'm shooting left, maybe if I get a wide open corner three, I'll take one, but like, it's gotta come in the rhythm of the game. You think you can catch a fast in NFL? Yeah, 100%. I like that, all right, see? See, cool, cool, yeah, all right. At least she sees it both ways though. He go with me. You clearly, give somebody, as you go, the quarterback, he's gotta make it easy for you, but you got it. Yeah, that's what it, that's what it is. I know what y'all got, I've seen the lateral movement, y'all be doing that. Let's go. Happy Lewis right now. Finally, that's two days in a row that I can play in NFL. I am, bro, like, you tell, like, that's why I got Joe coming in here today. I'm like, if you just throw a jump ball, I get the five yard bump, I get the physicality of it, but like, I'm so much taller than the quarterback, like I can just catch a lob, like a jump ball. Red zone stuff, but I think the physicality like contact balance, like, would be a little bit different. When you have pads on you, a little bit heavier. I struggle with all that. There's that. I think that's the consideration, but like, you guys go high point of rebound every, like you take the rebound, that's going high point of ball. It's also illegal to touch me when I go for that rebound. Yeah, that's true. Minimal contact, cannot touch me when I go get that rebound. Yeah, I guess that's part of the hard thing. And then, yeah, landing is not easy. Landing is gonna be a problem. Now, growing up in Utah, does that automatically make you a jazz fan? No, I was actually born out here in Las Vegas, so I got to pick my sports team. So that was a nice part of growing up in Las Vegas. I did become slowly a jazz fan, but I love watching basketball anyway, so. Who are your guys going up? Do you love watching play? I'm a LeBron Stan, like, Legote James. Like, I'm out there in LA now, so like, I'm at the side, I love watching him. But I used to be, I love Russell Ressberg. I love watching him play too. There we go. The energy that the passion he plays with, then he's just going full speed all the time. I feel like, when people ask, like, what it looks like when I play football, I think I would be very similar to Russell Ressberg. Speaking of, uh, speaking of Brian, earlier this year, he called you Puka Danchi. Hi, I'm G. Big-time compliment coming from him. Have you had an opportunity to meet him? No, I've been to a couple of games. I've been to court side, like, they played the Knicks, they ended up losing, but he saw me right behind the court side season. He's like, hey, you caught the touchdown? He was at me after the Browns game, but man, I'm jumping up and down. They're losing the game, everybody's like, what are you doing over here? I'm like, LeBron, he's talking to you. You got an icon down. Yeah, I was like, he's talking to you. How did you not meet at that one? That feels like the one that should have been. I know, they ended up losing. So yeah, I mean, it's the same thing. I've even, y'all would've came to the game, yeah. Give me a different football. We play 82 times, 5,000 weeks to get over it fast. By the way, the video, that went pretty viral of you, your shopping with your girlfriend, right? And you're, by the way, nothing wrong with this. I think most of us who are bored while somebody's shopping have done this, but you're busy watching highlights of what brought it. That was the night LeBron hit the game when Frito's there against the Warriors. You look miserable by the way. I know, you're like, why the hell am I here? We, that was shopping for her today, that day. So I wasn't miserable, but it wasn't my shopping. Good answer. Those are the days you give her your credit card. Oh, oh, oh. You stay here at home, babe. Day. See, I do be playing the game, but see, I get my gaming at the late night hours. The sweat's beyond in the middle of the day, so that's why I stay out of that lobby. Wait, wait, how long have y'all been together? Two years. He's still got, yeah, he's still got it. He's still got to do shit like that. Yeah, yeah, he has to try it. We've entered a new world as I got into the NFL, that's all. It's like the whole thing. There's a guy on the Warriors, Santos. I don't know if you've seen this dude, but a lot of people think he's your doppelganger. I don't know if you agree. It's kind of weird when somebody else tells you that. I mean, yeah. I got my hair up right now, especially got to get with the clean shave face. Like, uh. It's kind of there. If they need somebody to come off the bench and get five rebounds for them, use five pounds. And 15 points. I'm telling you, I could run up and down the court and get layups made of me. Dude, this would be the year they need you. I could do it. I would set great ball screens for Steph Curry. Clay Thompson, you can come pick and pop anytime you want, dog. There you go. Got you. That's kind of good, actually. Yeah, it kind of does look good. Okay, let's talk football for a little bit. You obviously had one of the best rookie seasons of all time. All time. Congrats on that. Appreciate that. It was fun to watch. What was your expectation going into it? You weren't on first round pick you like, so how did this happen so quickly? Shoot, I guess the environment I landed in definitely allowed me to thrive in it, but my older brothers went undrafted in the NFL, so to be drafted was like, oh, I just want to make sure I make the team. I'm going to do everything I can to make the team. And then I remember they threw me a pass in OTAs before we got the pads on. And I just remember thinking like, that was such a clean catch. I transitioned, I made a move on the safety. And I was like, holy cow, like, that clicked in my head. I felt like, yeah, it was a moment of like, what I'm doing is working. Just one day at a time from there on. That's awesome. I was a late second round pick. Draft Day was kind of an experience for me. It didn't really go my way, but I was 17 years old. You were a fifth round pick. Did you keep tabs on every receiver that was picked before you? Oh, I love that. Do you have that chip on your shoulder? I definitely do have that chip on my shoulder, but there was no sort for that. I'm a competitor at heart, so I know like when we go out there and we're in between those white lines, I'm going to let you know that if you didn't pick me on your other team, that was a mistake. But I feel like I landed in the right spot. I'm blessed to be where I'm at, but I know the guys who went before me. What's that feeling like to finally get that call and relief? Man, it was, I was sweating bricks, man. I had five other teams call me the day before, like Saturday was the third, the day of like the fifth round, the last couple of picks, and like, they're like, hey, make sure you're watching them. Like, I've been watching the whole week, don't I? What's your week? I've been sitting here like, ready when you are. I'm like, what did I say to that? Okay, can we, that lion's situation. That's a tough game to go into because America had fallen in love with them. Y'all knew Matthew Stafford was going to get booed, right? Like, nobody was kidding themselves. No, yeah, we just, Come on, come on. I mean, I'm like, look, I'm a fan first. I boo things, that's what we do. But I'm reading things, I'm like, does he think they're not going to boo him? How was it? Was it weird? It was that as a competitor, like at a sports fan, like that was the best environment to be. To go in a way, a way territory and have everybody rooting against you and to feel like, okay, the 53 guys we got in the Rams uniform, like that's who we're rocking with and we're going balls to the ball. You just said it. You just said it. You just said it. It says F every day. We're rocking. It was a fun, it was a crazy environment. But it was, it was fun to watch. I mean, it was just a tough, and you guys got hot. Like this, this is not the Rams team that started the season, the end of the season, because I think a lot of people thought, oh no, they don't have it this year. What was the change? I don't know, I guess I don't know what it was like in the year before, but I know when we came back from the buy, just like, I feel like we're on our team really connected. I don't know. I think everybody got some time away from each other. So sometimes that's actually dice during the season. We got that little week away and then we came back and everybody had a singular focus. I feel like we all plugged into the same outlet. We're all tuning in the same channel and we were able to start moving in sync. All right, you brought these. Tell us what these are. Yeah. This is Pepsi Zero Sugar, a wild cheer. Beautiful move. That's right. The red and the blue complement each other so well. Because it makes well with Tequila. It does actually. So that's why I brought them. All right, here we go. That's why I brought them for you. This week on Saturday, I'm going to be out in front of the horseshoe. It's Sip City secrets. So if you guys got some secrets, something you need to get off your mind, you can come bring it over there to the Big Pepsi Vault. We'll be out there. When you confess and share your secret, right? Are you going to give us the secret? The sharing is nice. Got a dabble in it. Hold up. People are going to go to the... It's soda channel. ...to give their secrets. Yep, confess your secrets. It's going to be written. Oh my. And then visit the secret. You don't have to worry about like everybody. It's going to go in the vault as well. It's like a confession. It's a confession. You get it and it'll be locked up in a way. And then you'll have a chance when you confess. Your secret doesn't got to be anything too crazy. I know we're here in Vegas. You've got time. You got to talk to him. But you'll get a code and you'll have a chance to win some Pepsi gear and some Super Bowl gear as well. And then also I'll be hanging out there if you got to want to come and hang out. I don't know. I'm sure there's a lot of other things going on too. He doesn't have to spend a time in one day for all his secrets. You know what? I finally got some sleep last night, Pugas. I'm actually feeling fresh. That's good. I love to do that. I worked out this morning. Worked out in months. You know what? I played with Saekwon two nights ago. He taught me how to play. And this guy is an absolute freak. He played with him. No, I haven't. Absolute maniac on an offensive amount of money and he didn't win. At least he guys had a good time, right? Anyway, well, I'm not saying the value. I'm just saying what he started with, he doesn't have that currently. Pugas, it's been a pleasure. You were absolutely joy to watch this season. Good luck next season. It's just gonna get better. That's what we're here to say out loud. I love that. We're at take quick break.
