MalikHOST
You know, even, like, we-- Wiggins isn't, like, a big-time shooter.
MalikHOST
You know, Sam Houser's there.
MalikHOST
Like, Sam Houser spacing the floor there would look really good.
MalikHOST
If you can get a defensive four, that would make a lot of sense as well.
MalikHOST
You know, a guy like Jonathan Kaminga to get downhill could make a lot of sense.
MalikHOST
And again, you do need to keep that into consideration that there's only so much cap they can spend.
MalikHOST
I think Isaiah Joe makes sense here.
MalikHOST
Let's go, uh, you know what? I may go Sam Houser.
Jack SimoneHOST
Maybe we'll start talking elsewhere.
Jack SimoneHOST
Sam Houser
Sam LaFranceHOST
was a Heat guy, right? And then they got rid of him.
Sam LaFranceHOST
No,
Sam LaFranceHOST
Or both.
Jack SimoneHOST
No, no.
Jack SimoneHOST
I think Sam Houser was a Heat guy, but then he swapped.
Jack SimoneHOST
I don't think they let him go.
Rich ShertenliebHOST
There was like a, ooh, no, not a layup.
Rich ShertenliebHOST
And then it was like, as I said, it's Sam Houser walking as if it's slow-mo, as if it's the opening of Reservoir Dogs.
Rich ShertenliebHOST
I was just like, this is so embarrassing.
Rich ShertenliebHOST
Oh, my gosh.
Jeff GerstmannHOST
This is it.
Jeff GerstmannHOST
For f- not, not that there will never be a Grand Theft Auto VII, but for the remainder of the Rockstar brain trust, for the amount of money that they have put into this thing, for the amount of time that they have put into this thing, for the amount of time that, uh, someone like Sam Houser has put into running Rockstar for all of these decades, right? To me, this feels like the last time anyone is gonna get away with this.
Jeff GerstmannHOST
That's not me saying GTA VI is a failure or anything like that.
Jeff GerstmannHOST
I think it will be [laughs] a fucking massive success.
NickHOST
a lot of good players that you can throw at this thing, right? So I did ask the question of what you would want the star lineup to be.
NickHOST
There was, like, no Sam Houser in any of those lineups, which I understand.
Sam LaFranceHOST
Man, do I love to
NickHOST
hear that.
Ryan KnightHOST
He can't be a 30-minute night to guy because of health risk, because he can't shoot free throws, because he can't play with that same motor that long.
Ryan KnightHOST
But between those two guys, I just couldn't get over not putting them first, let alone a Sam Houser that I'm high on, much better defensively than people give him credit for, shoots 39% from deep.
Ryan KnightHOST
You mentioned guys like Hugo that they're big on, Jordan Walsh that they're big on, Mike Conley.
Ryan KnightHOST
If he's going to be the third stringer, is a solid third stringer, albeit at 38 years old, is a guy who can come in and rally the troops, make smart decisions.
Mike JHOST
We're going to get Cyberleak.
Mike JHOST
We're going to get Cyberleak and we're going to get Sam Houser.
Mike JHOST
We don't want to get subpoenaed, okay? We're going to have them battle together.
Mike JHOST
Anyway, thank you guys.
speaker_9HOST
They sad.
B HenHOST
Sam Houser is a quality player.
B HenHOST
You switch-
speaker_9HOST
Sam Houser cool, bro.
B HenHOST
Boy, he can shoot like shit.
DJ WellsHOST
Nah, we can stay here.
James CrosslandHOST
And I guess the fundamental question is, who are the people who developed Grand Theft Auto? What has informed this very dark, criminal, violent vision of America that they've depicted over the years?
Bob WhitakerGUEST
Yeah, well, the developers of Grand Theft Auto are two brothers from London, Sam and Dan Hauser.
Bob WhitakerGUEST
Sam is the eldest brother, and he's kind of the...
Bob WhitakerGUEST
I guess we could call him the producer of the game series, more focused on the business side, more focused on the technical aspects of game development.
Bob WhitakerGUEST
And then Dan, the younger brother, he's really more interested in writing and narrative.
Bob WhitakerGUEST
So when you think of... you know, as you mentioned, the kind of wit and sarcasm and, you know, this kind of approach to American life, that's really Dan Houser coming out.
Bob WhitakerGUEST
And so these two, born and raised in London, they live near a video store in London.
Bob WhitakerGUEST
So when you're talking about where does this kind of sarcastic view of American life come from it comes from American films and film culture and so these two brothers living in London kind of developing their keen interest in American life and American culture went on to work for a game design company based in Scotland called DMA Design and they started working on this game called Race and Chase and which was essentially a cops and robbers game, which Sam and Dan essentially took over development of and turned into the first Grand Theft Auto game in 1997.
Matthew JudgeHOST
Like, he, he's been in, like, 1,000 different things, and this was just one of the things he did.
Matthew JudgeHOST
He's just like, he's like, "I'm just gonna be Sam Houser.
Matthew JudgeHOST
Why not?" And like, it's, it's just such a wild movie.
Matthew JudgeHOST
I'm gonna do, like, a, a commentary thing on it for my YouTube channel and kinda break down the parts that I find really funny or unintentionally funny.
