game four is on abc7. they got on a good scrimmage, we're days away from their ninth playoff journey. would you believe it? in the last 11 years. >> to be where we are and have a chance is all we wanted. we've done a lot of things to persevere in the regular season. i am proud of our guys. now we have our opportunity. >> we got a chance to make a run. it is exciting, a testament to our team, our character. and i think the best times are ahead. >> the idea that you are who you are and you try to be the best version of that going into a series, to get off to a good start. and then you hope that you have the iq and ability to make adjustments whenever necessary. we love the playoff atmosphere of that, but you do not really try to outsmart yourself going in. >> larry, you talked about the roller coaster ride and that was one of the questions i asked the coach. it was this the best team,

version of themselves we are going to see? andrew akins missed a quarter of the season, gary payton got into the mix later. i believe they are as whole and healthy as they get. that is the spot you want to be in, no injuries. andrew wiggins, it will be interesting to see him integrate himself back into the lineup. >> is kind of similar to last year where steph curry was out of the playoffs, dream on green was out and than they got together for game one. all right, here we go. back to when the title. i'm just wondering, if you think the average person, if we set out for two months and then tried to play playoff intensity basketball, but andrew wiggins is busily going from his couch to the playoffs. any idea of how he is going to be used? will they start him? i know steve does not like to give out a lot of details. >> he did not give out details unfortunately for me. we did not see the practice or the extra stuff. it was close to the media. i would imagine they put him a minutes restriction. whether he starts or not, he

might say in the pregame. waiting to see about andrew, but having him in the lineup whether it is 15 or 20 minutes, defensive guy, he can get you a bucket. it will be interesting to see how his conditioning is, but to have them back out here, that will be so helpful as they're trying to make this title defense. >> absolutely, especially try to slow down the kings. anchor, we will see you at 5:00 and 6:00 is well into course you can watch the game of the warriors and kings series right here only on abc7. saturday night, coverage begins at 5 p.m. putative buffet 5:30 and then stick around for after the game with larry and the rest of the gang. we will have the highlights in the live post game analysis and interviews. more sports news, the installation of a pitch clock by major league baseball is really speeding up the games. there is one downside. it turns out that games are shorter by an average of about 31 minutes. so ballparks are getting less money at the concession stands, especially lucrative beer sales down. so to combat this, for teams are

extending alcohol sales through the season. teams including the giants and the a's stop selling alcohol after the seventh, but they will change that to try to up the revenue. >> where there is a will, there is a way. >> up next, health, wellness and more. the one-of-a-kind event in the bay area designed with you in mind. >> elon musk, a late night sit down as he muses about his time at twitter. the move he calls painful and why his

basic things about men, popular idea is men go to their cave. you come home as a man and need time to recover. women go i want to recover with you, i want to talk with you, we need to be together and that is what she needs. years later, i am now giving a biological understanding. women need estrogen to cope with stress which happens when they're talking to you. >> is that what it is? >> men it needed 10 times more testosterone than a woman to recover from stress, so when we are not talking our testosterone goes up. say you are watching the news, relaxing, working out at work all day. this downtime allows his testosterone to recover and then he can come back into the estrogen world of connecting with his wife. if women do not understand that, they take that personally. >> it's interesting that there is a physiological reason. >> there is biology to this and when she is talking to penny on her stress level, the more words she can get out to a receptive listener is important.

you cannot be rolling your eyes and making jokes. a receptive listener, her estrogen goes up. when that goes up, her stress hormones go down. this is simple biology. >> i wish i was writing this down because it is very applicable. let's talk about the new living expo because you are headlining saturday. are you going be focusing on this? >> keeping the passion alive in a relationship seems to be one of the big issues that people have. they want to bring back those wonderful feelings they had in the beginning. then some basic skills that i teach couples to do that. >> like what? >> like affection. one of the things mena do not realize is women keep score. we know they do, but we do not understand this core system. little things on venus will say all acts of love, big or small have the same result. in terms of estrogen going up. you can give her 50 roses, that is one point. give her one rose 50 times, that is 50 points. you go to work, work hard, you figure that is at least 50 points. that is one point. that is an act of love and we are not that way.

when a woman acknowledges us or appreciates us, we give them 50 points. actually, if we make a mistake and are 20 minutes late and they saved it's no big deal, i know you tried, you will give her 50 points for that. women only give you one point for that. >> sounds like a completely unfair scoring system, i think we need to revise like major league baseball. some changes here. what else can we expect? >> it is a whole world of all kinds of creators who have different ways to be healthy in your life. yoga classes, meditation classes, health classes. the whole range is there. it is like going out, it's like disneyland for wellness, disneyland for wellness. >> that is a good tagline. it runs friday through saturday, you can get more information at new living expo.com. you can see it right here, john, can i book you for the next three hours or so? i just have so many questions. >> go to ted talk john gray and you will hear a fantastic free

that is the reason. in rough nobles a normal year at twitter would be four and a half billion of revenue, four and a half billion in costs. it was like a nonprofit. they were roughly breaking even. >> rustling bankruptcy? >> those are rough numbers. revenue dropped from four and a half billion to three. and expenses went from four and a half to six, creating a $3 billion negative cash flow situation and twitter having $1 billion in the bank. four months to live. so unless drastic action was taken, the company would die. the company is either going to go bankrupt or if we do not cut costs immedialy, this is not an uncaring situation. if the whole ship sinks, nobody has got a job. >> what were the levels of staff and what are they now? >> i think we are u

1500 people at this point. and it was i think 7800. i think it was just under 8000. >> 8000. ok. it has it been hard at laying off that many people? >> yes. not fun at all, it is painful. >> i mean, i guess in what way do you feel like you need to speak to people when they leave? >> it's not physically possible to speak to that many people. >> you talked about that being tactical, has that been the hardest thing a motion only? >> it's one of the hardest things. the pain level of twitter has been extremely high. this has not been some sort of party. so

situation the last several months, not an easy one. apart from the pain, it has been quite painful, but i think at the end of the day, it should have been done. where there are many mistakes made along the way? of course. and -- well. i feel like we are headed to a good place. we are roughly breaking even. i think we are trending toward being positive soon in a matter of months. the advertisers are returning. i think the quality of recommended tweets -- we take a lot of feedback from people who looked at the open source recommendation algorithm, we have made a lot of improve men even since that being open-source were going to keep doing that. i am not ceo anymore. >> what are you?

>> my dog is the ceo. he has taken over. >> that was elon musk' the new twitter ceo kind of sort of, not really. they dress like elizabeth holmes. as for the bbc, he confirmed twitter will change its label from government-funded media to say it is publicly funded instead. a lot going on with twitter and elon musk at all times. >> free forms popular show single drunk female is ready for its ease into debut and we got ace peak from the big apple with the feeling weighed down by a backedup gut" miralax is different. it works naturally with the water in your body to unblock your gut. ...free your gut. and your mood will follow. ♪
