It's a surprise party. Happy 47th birthday, Subway. Young Hollywood is here celebrating with Blake Griffin. Let's go do some slam dunks and eat some sandwiches. I am here with Blake Griffin. How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

You were making sandwiches earlier. What is the Blake Griffin special and what's it called? What's the Blake Griffin's signature sandwich?

I do either oven roasted turkey or oven roasted chicken. On wheat with spinach, tomato, onion, avocado, and vinegar and oil.

Do you ever vary from that?

Not really. I normally stick to the same thing. It doesn't disappoint me.

I want the Blake Griffin power and dunking ability. What kind of sandwich would you make me to give me more power and more speed and height?

Oh man. Um It's a good question. Uh maybe like a BLT or something. I like the BLT.

Yeah. I knew that. I I just I just knew that somehow. So yeah, maybe a BLT. Could you throw a little avocado on there for me?

Of course, of course. We can do whatever you need.

Some peppers?

Uh maybe not pepper, but That might slow me down. Yeah. We want to keep you like streamline, ready to ready to play.

I know they designed an app for you. I put my face you did it on your body. Yeah. How did it turn out?

I think it looks kind of natural actually.

Oh really? Yes. All right. But can you give me some real life tips? I mean, I don't even really know how to hold the ball to like to be able to dunk well. I look like I have the skill. Why are you laughing?

I'm not actually. I was just you. Um, yeah, I wouldn't say it's so much about holding the ball. I would just say it's about jumping as high as you can.

Okay, should I try? I mean, you have heels on right now. Do you want to hold the mic?

Sure. I just don't want anybody to fall.

Okay. Oh dear. That was actually really impressive because she had heels on and didn't fall. That's what I was worried about the whole time. So, will I be a new clipper as of of this season?

Yeah, we'll see. I can make some phone calls.

Could you? Could you bribe a few people for me? I can try. You give them free Subway for life.

You'll you'll have to try out, but we'll see.

The Olympics. I know you couldn't go. Thoughts on them? Were you watching every moment? How how was what were your thoughts on the Olympics? I know I know it's the one time where you no matter what team you're on, you're going to root for the for the USA.

Yeah, I mean, I watched all the games. Um it it was sad not to be there, but you know, at the same time, all those guys worked so hard. And um you know, they played so well and then they deserved all that. So, it was fun to watch.

So, when you say it's hard not to watch, do you sometimes have to turn it off? Or are you riveted?

Um, well, it was you like I would have done that differently. Um, it was just, you know, I I had planned on being there and and, you know, was looking forward to being there. So, um, you know, watching was just a little tough at times.

Does it make you want to get out on that? Because I know you you start training again in October. You start your training camp. I know I'm sure you're eating fresh and you're working. Every day. Every day. So, how do you do that?

Uh, Subway. 24 hours a day, three three meals a day, Subway.

And what's the when you're in the off season? I know you've been sort of rehabilitating, but what's the workout come October, what's the workout going to be?

Uh, come October, you know, we'll start training camp. We actually go to China for a week, a little over a week and play two games over there. So, um really just kind of getting into the season and and really, you know, being conditioned for the start of the regular season.

Were you surprised by the Steve Nash trade, by the Dwight Howard trade?

Um, the Dwight Howard trade, I'd kind of heard was going to happen. Um, the Steve Nash thing, I I can't remember where I was, but when I heard about it, it was definitely surprising, but it's great for them. Great for, you know, basketball in L. A. , and it'll make uh, you know, make for some more exciting games.

I know you've said before that it's sort of when when you know that a team is sort of upping their game, does that fuel you more? Or do you sort of focus on your own team and your own thing?

Well, I mean, you focus on your own team and and what's going on within the program, but, you know, when you're preparing for a game against whoever it is, um, it definitely definitely adds to it. Um, you know, so, you know, if we're playing the Lakers, that that's definitely going to, you know, be exciting, but, you know, there's there's 28 other teams we have to play as well. So, we can't just focus all our energy on one team.

Have you tried the breakfast sandwich here, by the way?

I have. It's actually really good.

Really?

It's really good, yeah.

What what's on it?

I get just like the flatbread and turkey, egg white, and sometimes cheese, sometimes not cheese.

You ever do the breakfast for dinner thing?

Um, I do I don't know if I've done it at Subway, but that's a good idea.

Do you think? I might do that tonight. Really? You have I inspired you, Blake Griffin?

A little bit.

Was it my impressive jumping skills?

No, it was really Yeah, yeah, that that inspired me, but really just posing the question, have you ever eaten breakfast for dinner? Really? That was all I needed.

It's not often that Blake Griffin makes you a Subway sandwich. Happy birthday, Subway.
