00:00okay so
00:06last night i was perusing heat reddit and i saw this i didn't believe it i kind of dismissed it
00:13britney i was like i'm looking at my heat reddit he read it's one of my favorite places to be
00:16now
00:16mind you i am locked out of my twitter right now which is very annoying so i only have a
00:19browsing
00:19account which is basically just still like i was wondering oh i'm locked out they're like check
00:25back with us in seven days i'm like how about double middle fingers i was i mean just like
00:29are you kidding me what kind of website is this seven days it's ridiculous what is it would you
00:34like me to mail uh my identity you could get that in seven days i could get that to you
00:38i could get
00:39physical things in less than seven days it doesn't matter you know what i don't care um but last night
00:45i was jealous because i was locked out of social media and i would have loved to i would have
00:48loved
00:48to be on twitter reacting to this last night it was so reddit has this post and i'm like that's
00:55not
00:55real that's fake and what it was was a post where it had lebron james introductory press conference
01:07scheduled for july 27th it was a live stream that was upcoming and i'm like that's not real and then
01:15people started and so i i dismiss i'm just whatever all right people are people have gotten too far
01:20i can't you know i've already gotten to the point where it's like i've heard lebron james is making
01:26his decision today like i mean uncle on those tweets everybody so i just you know i think we
01:33all had a little bit of lebron fatigue after he didn't make his decision on monday we're like you
01:36know when it happens it happens okay i'm just that's where i was at so i see that i'm like
01:41that's fake
01:41and then i just start getting bombarded with dms last night you know people are hitting me up on
01:46instagram hey you see this you see this you see this and they're all sending me different screenshots
01:51they're sending me like some guy has it on computer some guy has it on phone i'm like whoa okay
01:56i guess
01:57i gotta look into this and then the real crazy thing is somebody had last night i don't remember if
02:03it
02:03was like heat central but somebody had the link and you can click the link and it like pops and
02:09then
02:09like slowly like well and then it goes private you know it's kind of like they tried to take it
02:14off
02:17i don't know what to make of it i don't know what to tell you guys you know the heat
02:22they had given
02:23a statement to uh anthony chang was the first guy i believe who got a comment shams has gotten a
02:30comment that this was a mistake by somebody in the social media department in anticipation if
02:40lebron james were to choose the miami heat if that were to happen they just happened
02:48to schedule for the possibility now this is where my bulb leaf detector goes off and i love you guys
02:54listen everybody knows that department everybody knows you guys know i love you it happens to the
02:59best of us we've mislabeled podcasts we've put curses over the air we've all made mistakes okay so
03:05everybody who knows knows i love this first of all i don't think anybody deserves to be fired over
03:10this i don't think anybody deserves to lose their job over this because this is good news i don't
03:14know why we're all upset lebron james is lebron james this is the first smoking gun that we have that
03:19lebron james is choosing the miami heat and i and i good news oh yeah first of all like anybody
03:25who
03:25thinks if lebron james made up his decision britney okay let's say theoretically lebron james gives the
03:31call last night to rosa goes hey i'm gonna make my decision tomorrow riley gives the call to
03:36whomever and they you know let the people know who let the people know right you're telling me
03:43lebron james is gonna go change his entire play after mulling over this decision for weeks
03:49lebron james is gonna change his decision because his press conference date got leaked why he's a free
03:55agent who cares he's not like it's not like he left a team who's he offending you know what i
03:58mean
03:59himself his ego it's great news yeah i got you but like i think it's a funny thing i think
04:05it's
04:05funny i think you're lebron james you make a joke about it right out of the gate on monday when
04:09this
04:09press conference obviously is so you actually think that this press conference is happening
04:14britney i'm sorry and and and it just you just don't do as somebody who posts on social media and
04:22posts live streams and posts all this stuff who the hell schedules something for a matey
04:29nobody on top of nobody i 1000 agree with you and i also think that at 11 o'clock at
04:37night
04:39what social media person is testing the waters of this youtube like at 11 o'clock at night like you
04:46have a whole work day ahead of you tomorrow right that to me shows that you were scrambling
04:50you're kind of putting pieces together you just got this news you're trying to figure things out
04:55and that's how things slip to the cracks now i will play devil's advocate here okay and say
05:02it is standard procedure for news outlets and these types of organizations to prepare for
05:11case scenarios where these players are or this big news is going to hit you know as like i remember
05:19working i mean going to school and they teach you like you have a skeleton like you have a skeleton
05:24sure um i saw that draft on the side and you keep it there so that way once the news
05:30breaks it's like
05:31you're immediately posting that and it's a hypothetical thing sure i saw a lot of that argument yesterday
05:37uh barry jackson put out that argument i know ira has been on here and he's talked about i have
05:42drafts
05:42for each story here's the problem with that okay there is no other scenario to have like you would
05:49like those types of things they're talking about like espn probably has packages to go already
05:55lebron goes to the heat lebron goes to the warriors all of them of course because they have to be
06:00a
06:00breaking news entity with a lot of options on the table the miami heat there's only one scenario
06:07you're having a press conference for lebron james and that's if you're getting lebron james
06:10no i it's hard for me because i'm trying i'm the thing is is i don't want to hype myself
06:16up and get
06:17excited you should and then just be disappointed that that it wasn't true and that they were telling
06:22the truth and it was just practice and a test for the hypothetical possibility that lebron james
06:28comes to me i mean i can't like the way in which i jumped out of my bed last night
06:33when i saw
06:34this news and i called like everybody i knew and i was like are you guys seeing this like this
06:40is
06:40crazy and the cover oh oh there's no other option the heat don't have a press conference
06:45if he goes to the warriors there's not a pat riley press conference says hey we didn't get lebron james
06:51so no that doesn't pass the smell test to me it's it's okay i guess you have to do something
06:55now here's the funny thing now i don't know what to do with because this could go a lot different
07:00ways people today have gone on linkedin and they went to the miami heat job application no they didn't
07:07i swear to god they didn't swear to god and the miami heat have listed two openings on the jobs
07:16a director of youtube strategy and a junior social media content creator and i had this was another
07:23one i had to go check that it was real because i saw this i'm like that's not real that's
07:27real now
07:28that's so bad for the record this has been these got reposted yesterday about 18 hours now you said
07:3511 this kind of leaked a little earlier than 11 when it first hit the internet um i don't think
07:41it was
07:4118 hours i don't know so it could just be a quinky dink but i will say here's the thing
07:46whether they
07:48either need somebody now nobody should get fired over this i just want to say i want to shake that
07:51person's hand whoever did this i want to shake their hand i i want that person give that person
07:56put that month of the rafters to me but what if they're wrong they're not wrong they're not wrong
08:01no what if it's not true we're getting lebron james i don't know what to tell you
08:06if liroy was here you're just you're we're getting lebron james i don't know what to tell you
08:10we're getting lebron james this is i feel like i'm aiding and abetting a criminal because
08:15i unfortunately am too much of a heat fan to not be excited about this
08:19i don't know what to tell you like we're getting lebron james like the heat just can like
08:23you want to know why everyone you want to know why they're sitting they're pissed because like
08:26oh no they know we're getting lebron james now because we're getting lebron james and
08:32whether okay this goes two ways either the miami heat unfortunately and wrongfully let go of that
08:38person they shouldn't have done that um or that means they don't have people doing the right job
08:44doing that job yeah because here's the funny thing here's the funny thing people are gonna
08:48blame an intern on this let me tell you something right now no intern is handling that kind of
08:54it's not even that britney you want to know what it is and this is the facts of it that's
08:58a mistake
08:58of the old an old person makes that mistake that's the truth i'm telling you right now and people don't
09:04want to hear this because people always blame interns it's true young people don't make that mistake
09:09mistake the old make that mistake you want to know why because i know the old don't know how
09:15to use social media and they don't know how to make youtube posts so i'm telling you one thousand
09:20percent whoever is covering that job for todd the intern that they haven't hired yet or whoever they're
09:26going to pay whatever college kid they pay out of barry university for that job that was not the
09:32mistake of a young person that was the mistake of someone who is older because whoops no it can happen
09:38trust me you can switch i'm like oh i hit scheduled or i hit unlisted youtube's buttons are very close
09:45they're very close but i mean that is not an intern mistake that is somebody who's covering for we don't
09:52have an intern or a junior media person yet so i'm telling you right now dude also like what junior
09:59media person or intern is handling something as serious as a lebron james press conference well it's
10:04not like honestly that's that is what you should you know that's that's basically like hey that's
10:10really serious that's a lot of sensitive information it is sensitive information that's fair that's which
10:15is why again i think this is a mistake that's what i'm saying like it has to be somebody you
10:19know and
10:20when they go to them they say hey why did you do this they're like that's todd the intern's job
10:24i don't exactly know why the heat would need to to have that ready to go because you can make
10:30a
10:30youtube link in three seconds but but as exactly what i was thinking but as jfig points out listen
10:38do you have i don't know if you guys saw dave mcmenaman yesterday dave mcmenaman
10:43he's a lebron mouthpiece espn reporter um been covering lebron basically since his second
10:50sit in cleveland right he said yesterday that gms were already complaining to him who are like we
10:57have family vacations planned so let's just say let's say the heat know lebron is going to make
11:03his announcement on sunday okay they know they know okay press conferences the next day okay or friday
11:10whatever lebron's gonna make his announcement we're gonna do it on monday because training camps all
11:15start on wednesday let's you know nfl training camps start on wednesday we can all move on with our
11:21summer but the heat like any other business they're like hey we know lebron's making his choice
11:26let's get ready uh joe the youtube guy is like well i'm going to the keys for a few days
11:34while i wait
11:34for lebron james to choose come to my heat i'm gonna prepare and have this ready to go posted now
11:42we're
11:42ready to rock oops i forgot to hit unlisted and i know that this seems stupid because it sounds like
11:50oh basketball no it feels like we're we're like pulling out that shirt i don't think it is
11:56britney not everything in an organization a basketball organization is oh my god it's it's
12:02we all think of the heat as it's running all the time these are still regular people who go there's
12:08the majority of the people they have cubicles they clock in they have businesses they have vacation days
12:15and if you are trying to just cover your bases because hey i'm not going to be here until
12:22saturday and you know i just want to make sure this is good to go and i could find some
12:26things
12:26you just put it maybe you're a person that just like preps things i could easily see this happening
12:31after they get news that lebron is coming to the heat so hey i want to shake that person's hand
12:36again because we're getting lebron james i don't know what to tell you guys like if you need more
12:40confirmation that we're getting lebron james i don't know what else you other than lebron just saying
12:43hey i'm going to miami you got me got me i don't know you know i i can see both
12:51sides of it that's
12:51the problem it's like i can see that it's a mistake and we are getting lebron but i also can
12:58see where
13:00there is just an over preparedness happening and there was still a mistake on that end because like
13:06my my thing is is like lebron famously didn't tell miami that he was going to go there
13:16in 2010 he told him the day of like an hour before he went and made the decision on tv
13:22i've heard that
13:23argument too here's the other thing this is why that doesn't smell past the smell test again this
13:28goes back to this and this is why i don't think it's going to scare off lebron when lebron had
13:32the
13:32decision there was going to be genuine consequences of hate for that decision cleveland was going to be
13:38cleveland was and was going to be furious okay it was going to have a bad reaction for people
13:46he's not he may get some of that from cleveland i know that there's some radio hosts who are like
13:53grow up all right go get a binky get a snuggie calm yourself and go watch the door sanders tape
13:59okay
13:59you'll be fine you had lebron twice all right you won a championship all right everybody up in
14:05cleveland needs to calm down there's no fan base he's really gonna anger if he lets him know hey
