Thank you to them.

Awesome time with them.

We also are going to talk some college basketball.

We have some MLB signings and some update on the uniforms.

Apparently, you can see everyone's dong every year per Darren Revelle. Maybe we should call him.

Welcome to Part of My Take presented by DraftKings Sportsbook.
Today is Monday, February 26th. And boys, it's happened again.
We got a court storming problem. We've got some discourse when it comes to storming the court.
I think that nature kind of has a way of healing itself sometimes. When fans storm the court and the fans get injured, I think that's good.
Yeah. I think there should be a rule that if you're a player and a fan comes at you, you can just go hog wild on them.
The free fight rule that I've had for a very long time. Let the players have a free fight.
But, yeah, we had a great Saturday of college hoops.

We can get to some of the other games, UConn and Villanova.

But the big story that captivated the country for, I don't know,

three or four hours was Duke getting their – or Wake Forest storming the court on Duke,

Kyle Filipowski getting maybe injured.

Have we had an MRI with him yet? I don't think he's that injured. I haven't seen it yet, so I guess he sprained his ankle.
He may or may not have sprained his ankle, tripping the guy. Shoving someone, yeah.
He stuck his foot out. The guy went flying, which is awesome.
But yeah, then after the game, he just said, yeah, it felt personal. It felt like they were attacking me.
And then the overhead camera. I don't know.
Have we always had these overhead cameras? Like we saw that with Caitlin Clark, right? Yeah. And now we see it here.
I think it's just installed strictly to review Courtstorm. It's installed so that when a player says, oh, my life was threatened, we can zoom in and be like, no, actually, you were the one shoving.
Yeah. Which I don't.
Listen, that was a bang, bang play. I don't know if I'm going to go all the way and say that Kyle Filipowski

was like actively trying to push someone.

It was a bang-bang play.

I love court storming.

I'll always love court storming.

It's part of college basketball.

It's part of – like it's unique to the sport and like students getting excited,

college kids being idiots.

I'm in for all of that because I once was a very, very dumb college student

and I don't forget that even though those years are very long ago. We did storm a court like a year ago.
Yeah, we did, and that was fun. Well, that was when Wisconsin won the Big Ten.
Yeah. Outright.
Share of it. Yeah, Darren Revelle tried to – because he said that guys should – it was assault and that it should be criminally prosecuted and all these ways everyone came up with ways to stop court storming so as a as a big j journalist myself what i did was i went back and i found all the times darren revell cheered about a court storming and i just retweeted them into the timeline and then he was like didn't you do a show court stormer or storm chasers i was like yeah and it rocked yeah it was awesome it's fun but again when you do it you have to be ready to deal with the consequence yeah if you go on the court you might it's like the harambe rules you run you run into the gorilla nest you might somebody's gonna get shot the the big story for me um outside of the fact that it was just reminding me that like a ton of uh reporters for a given sport don't like the fans and like actually look down on them which always just baffles me uh was i was just missing coach k so much in this moment this was a moment built for coach k he would have probably gone into the the wake forest locker room he probably would have actually scheduled maybe a lecture on monday at wake forest to teach a class at center court yeah he would have he would have he would have gotten everyone off the would have scolded them.
He would have asked for the microphone. And then he would have given us a press conference where he was, you know, screaming and yelling and being upset.
Not screaming and yelling, being his. You know how Coach K used to say.
He gets smarmy. He screams without yelling.
He gets real disappointed. Yeah.
Like everyone. Coach K thinks everybody in the world is his son.
Right. And so he gets to talk to them like that.
And he would make sure to avoid all questions about the actual game and losing to Wake Forest. And I missed him.
I missed him in this moment. John Shire tried his best to give us a Coach K impression, being like you have to ban this forever.
Meanwhile, I think Duke is the one student section where, like, the students basically touch the players when they're inbounding a ball. Yep.
But I wish Filipowski didn't get hurt. I hope no players get hurt.
I do think you probably need to – Wake Forest maybe probably should have – I think there was time on the clock when the players were on the – Yeah, the clock had expired. That was excessive.
But other than that – It was a false start. Figure out a way you know get i think creighton did it perfectly where they basically just walled off the entire yukon bench when they stormed the court don't get rid of store uh court storming don't do that i agree that's the one thing that like everyone who's trying to to tell you that there should not be court storming they're fucking losers and they probably went to like syracuse or northwestern uh that's a shot at you Jake and don't remember what it's like to have fun in college I actually think that what coach K would do would be their next home game Duke's next home game he would lecture his fans yes as an example be like we're better than that we don't need to do what the Wake Forest of the world do we expect to win here at Duke and you're endangering yourselves and your opponents, and more than anything, you're selling the reputation of your school if you do this.
So he would give a big lecture to Duke. That is just 100% a slap in the face to Wake Forest.
And how many court-stownings are there in a year? Like 100? I don't know. There's a lot.
Yeah, so we're trying to find a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist. Yeah, Wake Forest was, they were fast.
The fans were on were on it they were all over it uh you got to wait till the clock expires and then i agree that the way that they walled off uh yukon is the right way to do it so they can all the players can you know file calmly off the court but in a situation like this like if filipowski intentionally tripped the person that was sprinting full speed by the the way, that takes balls to just sprint full speed across the court.

Yes.

I'm okay with that.

I am too because guess what?

This is what happens when a Kaitlin Clark is a similar situation.

When you take a terrible loss and then you have fans in your face,

that's an emotional moment for the players too.

So I'm not going to go like, oh, Filipowski, how could he possibly do that?

Again, bang, bang, play.

I think he's probably fine. I think it might have been a phantom roll of an ankle.
Like, oh, shit, we lost, and I just shoved the guy. Possibly, ow, my ankle hurts.
Ow, my arm, Rodney Dangerfield. Yeah, it's like if Grayson Allen was complaining about a bruised shin bone all the time, he'd be like, well, it's because you stuck your foot out and did it.
It's a very smart play by him i think it's like you can change no one's talking about the loss yeah talking about court storm it is a it's a heady play it's a very duke play and guess what no matter what we say what we do kids are going to still rush on the court after big win at home yeah especially on a saturday correct it's just gonna happen it's gonna and it's gonna rock and those are memories that those kids will have for the rest of their lives. They'll be like, remember that time we dummied Kyle Filipowski? Yeah.
That was sick. There's one on the record.
I'm pro court storming. You came across, there was a moment in time where you and Darren Revell were lockstep in your thoughts.
It was like you, Darren Revell, Seth Davis, and Jeff Goodman all being like, this is disgusting. I don't think, I don't think Jake is proourt storming.
I think he's like, yes, it happened, but were there insider agitators that were telling the kids to storm the court? I am pro-safety. I didn't want anyone getting hurt, students or players.
You were quick to jump on the, oh, my God, this is so bad. He got hurt.
The students ran at him. Yeah, until we saw the overhead.
should have waited that's on me storming the court with you guys in Madison was one of the most fun experiences oh so you are a hypocrite too I never said I'm anti I am pro, students should have fun but this is Wake Forest administration's fault for not having a security plan like you said, Creighton had a perfect plan plan. If Wake Forest has his plan, you have to come with the plan.
Duke's coming to town. I don't really.
I don't even. Really, the issue is Wake Forest not being good enough at basketball.
To believe that a chance to win. To have it.
There's another two people who are talking about that. Oh, here we go.
Here comes the word. Hank, I didn't know if you were a Duke fan or a Nova fan.
We'll get to that. Philly Hank is, like, sprouting a rose petal from concrete.
I don't blame the security either because they're probably getting paid, like, seven bucks an hour. So pay them more? Yeah.
I don't know. I'm not going to blame some dude in a yellow coat who's getting paid minimum wage and has a bunch of kids running at him.
The university should have had a better plan. Sure.
You were for a moment there. It was a group of big J journalists who fucking suck eggs, and you were in that group.
That was a fact. I mean, you don't release a notes app if you weren't in that group.
I prematurely made a mistake, but I own it. I don't double down.
I know what I'm wrong. Jake, it's always better to be right than to be first.
Yeah. You're absolutely right.
And I was first. Yeah.
I was right in first by saying the court storming rocks no matter what. You know what? I might be anti-safety.
Yeah. I kind of am too.
Yeah, Jake. I kind caught AM too.
Fine. Yeah, this is what being a man is all about.
You got to take chances sometimes. Yeah.
If you're a fan, how many times are you going to get that opportunity, if you're a Wake Forest fan, to beat Duke on your home court and then just go balls to the wall, sprinting full speed, right in the thick of the game? I'm doing the bare minimum right now of being like, well, you really should wait until the times. Fuck that.
Run at any time. Yeah.
Anti-safety. As soon as the game feels like it's over, fucking storm the court.
And you know what? I bet you if you ask that guy on Wake Forest, if he ended up getting injured, if he's got like a torn MCL or something, he would be like, yeah, it was worth it. It was worth it.
I'd do it again. The one Wake Forest guy who patted Filipowski on the back and Seth Davis was like, did you see him try to shove him? Oh, the second guy.
Yeah. Jesus fucking Christ, everyone.
My attention should have been on the second guy. I would have had more of it.
But that guy didn't even, like, he touched him. I guess you can't touch him.
Yeah, he definitely did. But no, you should be able to touch him.
Fuck it. Let's have chaos.
That's the thing. If you want to touch the players, they're going to touch you, too.
Yeah. I'm cool with that.
And next thing you know. I'm very much cool with that.
People are either beating each other up or beating each other off. Yeah.
So either way, it's going to be fun. Either way, yeah.
I just don't want court storming to ever stop. And every time one of these situations pops up, it's like all these big J's just show up being like, this has to stop.
These guys who are sitting in a press box who don't remember what it was like to have fun. So do it safely, fine, but keep doing it.
Do it more. Agreed.
Do it harder. I like seeing storming a court like this way more than I like seeing that guy and his girlfriend or wife or whatever calling Kevin Durant a bitch, and then Kevin Durant walking over to, that was the funniest clip ever.
That was bad for podcasters. They called him a bitch, and and then he walked over to the woman and the woman was like here shake my hand and then they're like well his her her brother died and i have a podcast yeah it was the only thing missing was if the woman was maybe skinnier and the man was fatter it would have been a episode of part of my team yeah yeah spent like six years calling him a bitch then being, please come on our podcast.
We were too. That was us.
We want to have him on the podcast to ask him if he is a baby back bitch. Yeah.
No. We don't.
I think I've since changed my tune. He's not a baby back bitch.
I just wonder. Some people are asking that.
Yes. Some people have talked about it.
And the people that we're talking about are, that's us six years ago. Right.
We're talking about it. Correct.
We've stance more facts came out jake so we've updated our minds and uh i hate that i keep bringing up ravelle but he's when he when i retweeted all his old tweets and people are like dude was this you he's like yeah 2021 times have changed he's experienced personal growth since the year knew him yeah Yeah. That works when you're like 16 to 25, not when you're 45 to 47.
When they're trying to cancel you for like high school tweets. What? Yeah.
When they're trying to cancel you for like high school tweets. Yeah.
Revell had a, that was in his pre-woke moment. 2021.
Way different. What rocks is that you can always blame anything that happened in 2020 or 2021.

Like I had COVID at the time.

Yeah.

But yeah, it was a great weekend of College Hoops. Feels like we're getting ready for march uh big story in college hoops this weekend rick patino brought the white suit i know and he looked good and they won and he apparently he had to hit up a tailor and bribe a tailor to make this suit for him shout out john fanta he was he john fanta got the whole story yeah that's like i mean this is why john fanta exists it is and this is great reporting on his part yeah and patino in the white suit looks fantastic big win i wish i had known that patino was wearing the white suit you have to bet on the white suit it it camouflages all the stains for rick and so he's out there looking his best oh our stalker did hit me up he's like oh he say? Let me read it.
He was like, this is what winners do. Yeah.
I mean, yes. I respect Rick when he's wearing the white suit.
This guy doesn't understand that we like Rick Pitino. You have to like Rick Pitino.
He's good for college basketball. Yeah.
Hold on. He texted me almost immediately after the game.
It felt like it might have been just Rick from. Oh, yeah.
You see what winners do? Go out and back it up against your friend McDermott. We had Greg McDermott on once.
One time, yeah. That's what happens when you poke the bear.
No coincidence there. Looking forward to seeing you in Chicago for the game on the 5th.
So, if I'm reading this correctly, credit to us. Yeah.
Credit to us for getting the best out of Rick Pitino. Yeah.
You're welcome. You're welcome.
The guy who keeps stalking me. The Rick Whisperers.
Yeah. So we had another big game.
Nova-UConn. What happened? So I didn't catch that one.
I was at a bar that didn't have TVs when that game was going on, and I haven't checked the scores. Well, good news, PFT.
It was dubbed the no-l So no one lost. Okay.
Yeah. But somebody had to lose.
Yeah. So the way I saw it shaking out as the game was, we were talking about, we were previewing it last week and Danny Hurley tweeted out a Game of Thrones meme with him.
He was pissed off because they just lost to McDermott. So you felt like something big was coming from UConn, but I feel like this was a really no-lose situation for Villanova,

who'd be playing like they had every opportunity,

no expectations.

Correct.

We're on Villanova.

So at the very least, I expected them to keep it close within probably 10 points or so.

No, unfortunately, they got absolutely boat raced.

And Max was very upset.

I think he might still be upset.

Was it a beatdown?

It was a beatdown of, yeah, it was a beatdown.

Well,

Well,

Thank you. and Max was very upset.
I think he might still be upset. Was it a beatdown? It was a beatdown of – yeah, it was a beatdown.
Tristan Newton had a triple-double. They were actively – like they were kind of toying with Villanova at the end.
They kept him in until the end, like, and every time he passed the ball – he was one assist away. Every time he passed the ball, like the crowd would go crazy, and then finally he got it.
I was behind because I caught some guy picking his nose very aggressively.

So I had to rewind my TV, normal stuff, on a Saturday night.

So I was like maybe a minute behind.

And so I'm watching the end of the game with two minutes left.

And I was like, he's not going to get this because they're going to pull everyone.

And I texted the group text being like, well, at least no one got a triple-double, Max. And then, like, right away it happened because I was behind.
And I was like, whoops. And then Max just went nuclear, just deciding to.
And then Hank jumped in. Hank's a Villanova fan now.
If you had been up to speed on the game, you would have never known to say that. I would have never known to say that.
And Hank was texting being like, I fucking pray that Villanova plays the Badgers in the tournament.

Why is this a rivalry now?

The Badgers are not good, by the way.

They're going to be in the tournament.

They're not good.

The minute I said I was becoming emotionally vulnerable, they stunk from that moment on.

So they actually made it very easy for me.

So my expectations are low.

But Villanova, I don't know if they'll be in the tournament.

First four out? Actually, three quad one games still left on the schedule first four out so right now if the tournament started they would not be in I but they got the according according to Joe Lennart like that doesn't mean anything well I mean he's usually pretty right that is incorrect right now Blake has them in the tournament and it would be a it would be would be disgusting. He would be very disappointed if they didn't make it.

But you've got to worry about the bubbles, so why are you coming at me?

I was upset.

I was emotional.

Yeah?

So how are you feeling now?

And, Hank, is there a beef now?

No, I was just with Max.

He was in a bad place.

I was trying to fire him up.

I was also just trying to fire him up as a friend

and also just to get some spiciness in the group text. Actually, I just actually i just got text from blake he he's listening live he's got great ears uh he has them as the uh one of the final four into the nit so oh no nit that's his nit bracket max said i pray we play you as a 12-5 pray hank said mega max lock of the millenn Millennium, Nova versus Wisconsin.
Me and Hank were being boys. Out of nowhere.
Hank and I were being boys. So that was your first Villanova game you watched, Hank? Yeah, I'm trying to get back into it.
It was the tweet I thought was a little over the top. Obviously, you like that out of your coach with the Game of Thrones tweet.
It was like 88% of the public money was on UConn. It seemed like a letdown spot.
It seemed like everyone was like, oh, my God, he put out this Game of Thrones tweet. They're going to kill him.
And, you know, Big East, rivalry, big spread. But Danny Hurley backs up what he says.
I know, but I was just thinking. He said that Madison Square, he said, no, he said you can get us now,, get us now because you won't get us later.
And then he was completely correct in saying that. And I was thinking Big East basketball, it's going to be close, rivalry game.
And then Villanova, I think, shot 7%. So he thought it was a letdown spot for UConn after they were coming off of a letdown.
Yeah. Yeah, but it was a letdown after.
Yeah, it was a double letdown. Also, shout out game day to having Danny Hurley shoot half courtcourt shots, and he immediately just yelled, fuck! I love that.
Like, as loud as possible. I love that.
Also, I heard a rumor that College Game Day was not allowing Max. I heard the same rumor.
That they were not, they're not in the interest of, they're not interested in promoting part of my take. Yes.
And so for all the people that showed up with Max has... I got tipped off.
They were confiscating those

signs. Yes.
ESPN is...

Swear to God, Max.

Max is in ESPN's pocket. Really? Someone

DM me and said they brought a sign and they took it.

Yep. I heard that too.
So they'll let you

do football game day. Yes.

But they won't let students bring in

fans to basketball. They were trying

to hire me at the time. Also, how do they know that's

part of my take? Max Soto's...

I mean, everyone in that booth listens to us.

Max, are they trying to hire you at the time. Also, how do they know that's part of my take? Max, Soto.
I mean, everyone in that booth listens to us. Max, are they trying to hire you? Shout out Kevin.
Shout out Kyle. Who else is in that booth? I don't know.
Or in the truck. But ESPN.
There's probably a Joe. What up, Joe? ESPN probably sees all the Max memes, and their next big move is to hire Max.
Yeah. At ESPN.
Ooh. Yep.
Just make him a meme. So wait, Max, back to the game.

Yeah.

Can we start with the game?

What?

What do you think?

You got to the game real quick.

Is it a make or miss league?

Yeah.

Shooting 12% from three is not going to win you basketball games.

Max was sitting at the bar, but you know when you stand on the bottom of your chair so you're even taller? He was doing that yelling at the TV, and I just kept looking at the bartender and being like, what? What is going on? Credit to me, Max. I told you before I didn't do the thing I was going to do, which is going to be very mean, because you guys were at Declan's.
One of my very good friends owns the bar, and I was going to have him go over before the game and be like, hey, if UConn covers, paying for the entire tab just to have everyone root for UConn at the table didn't do that so credit to me yeah at least I wouldn't have had to pay for the tab and I realized what I should do if that ever happens again is I should actually make it like shots for the entire bar yeah so the whole bar roots against Max. I would leave.

I'm going to do that.

I'm going to do that.

That's what I thought you were saying at first when you were like, I was going to cover the tab.

But no, you were just paying for Max's table.

Yeah.

Well, he was with like 10 dudes.

So I was going to just get all the dudes.

It was a great Saturday up until that.

And then you woke up this morning,

you put on your Sixers shirt,

and you're like, it's going to be different today.

Belt to ass.

I mean, no, Sixers suck. Yeah, no, you can't even get that from them.
So, Nova, in or out? They're going to be in. It doesn't help.
They started the day yesterday at first four out. They finished the day at first four out.
They can't lose to Georgetown. That would be a quad three or four loss.
That would be very bad, Max. Georgetown's a must-win.
You need a resume builder. Well, that's not going to be a resume builder.
No. Give me a resume.
No, they have three quad one games after that. Okay, win some quad one games, Max.
If we win. It's not hard.
If we beat Georgetown and then win two of the next three, we're in. Go do it.
It's not hard. Max versus Pug next week.
Huge bubble game. Yeah.
Seton Hall. Do it, Max.
Go win some quad one games. Quad two games.
That's all that matters this time of year quad one and two yeah yeah yeah okay uh should we participate in the in the difficult discussion that's happening across michigan regarding tom iso yeah it's over you think it's over i was a really bad loss tom iso um we were very early on this take which we made uh i think being sarcastic that he's overrated. Now it seems like the world's catching up to that take.
It feels like we lost Kay, we lost Rory Williams, we lost Boeheim. Boeheim, by the way, getting like a Boeheim day this quick.
Yeah. That feels weird.
He's got to let a little time pass. He was very upset he got fired.
Yeah, I think Izzo, that was a really, really bad loss. Things are tough right now for Michigan State.
I feel bad for him. If you're Michigan State and you have Big Brother win a national championship in football, you were pointing at basketball.
You were like, well, it doesn't matter where basketball school. And then to have this implode on him.
But I feel like with I to, would they fire Izzo? No. You have to let Izzo walk on his own.
You have to be like, well, we'll fire you if you don't retire. Yeah.
He will gracefully go away. It's not like you can, there's no retirement home for coaches to be like, we're sending you to a home.
Right. We'll look after you.
Right. No, he'll, yeah, he'll have to, they'll do it right.
All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.
Only one Reese's peanut butter lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter. And only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and three grams of sugar.
One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick me up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout. One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut and blueberry cobbler.
Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on Amazon.com. I have a trivia for you, PFT.
Okay. I'm going to list some names, okay? Jeff Capel, Kenny Payne, Hubert Davis, Earl Grant, Adrian Autry, Damon Stoudemire, Micah Shrewsbury, Kevin Keats, Leonard Hamilton.
Okay. What are those? Guards? No, those are acc head coaches who happen to be black okay that was actually a graphic on espn interesting acc coaches who happen to be black happen to be like they just stumbled upon it with a coincidence i don't know what the fuck that was that's wild they it's way better to say say black head coaches who happen to be black.
Yeah, we're putting up this stat. Isn't this a weird coincidence? Whoever made that graphic is so scared of language that they went with happens to be black.
So why would you make that graphic if it happens to be? I don't know. It was one of the weirdest things ever.
I thought it was Photoshop when I first saw it, but then I saw it everywhere. I was like, this actually was put on air.
I love that. Happens to be black.
I kind of love it. You know what I was thinking about the other day? You remember back in, when was that? Was it 2020? Maybe before when ESPN had the guy named Robert E.
Lee? Mm-hmm. Or his name was Bob Lee, Robert Lee.
Yeah, Robert Lee. And he was going to announce- Asian dude.
Yeah, he's an Asian guy. He still calls games for them.
Yeah, he was going to announce a game at UVA. And they moved him off the assignment because his name was Robert Lee.
Jesus. We were insane for a little bit there.
What was the DJ who ended racism? Didn't we get over this? Who was that? At the MLS. Oh, yeah no david gett david gett uh-huh just shout out george floyd shout out to his family shout out to his family keep playing the start of that clip real quick the uh but yeah happens to be black that is you gotta you gotta pause and be like what am i saying with this yeah their head coaches first head coaches first.
And they also, it's just a coincidence.

They just happen to be black. They just are black.
And we put them in a graphic together. To show that they all happen to be black together.
Yeah, David Guetta. Maybe they meant to say happy to be black.
Yeah, possibly. All right, yeah, here's David Guetta ending racism.
It is in honor of George Floyd. and I really hope we can see more unity and more peace when already things are so difficult.
The memes that I watch is like once a week. So, shout out to his family.
And here's the beat drop. Bam.
And it's got the I Have a Dream. Yeah.
Get the confetti and the NOS going Yeah he remixed MLK Bang there it is. See you, racism.
Now we party. Yeah, see, like, whoever wrote that happens to be black, they should have just been like, dude.
Someone in the truck should have just been like, hey, dude, don't you remember David Guetta? Yeah. We've been through this.
We did this. We're good.
The graphic show said it happened to be black, but actually, I don't see color. So who knows? Crazy.
Crazy. All right.
Any other college basketball? I want to see what happens to be Polish. Happen to be Italian.
Happen to be Italian. Anything else before we talk some other sports? And I do a quick ad.
I think that was all college basketball. Houston Baylor was awesome.
Well, until the one Baylor player. He lost the ball.
They're just kids. Well, no, he missed a free throw, and then he lost the ball, and then he made a terrible foul.
Yeah, his controller got unplugged. Yeah, that was one of those moments, too.
I went and saw Migration. Everyone should go see it.
Great kids movie, and I was watching that game underneath while my son was sitting on my lap watching a kids movie, being like, this fucking asshole just lost the ball. God damn it.
I knew he was going to miss that foul shot. Oh, well, he was like a 57%.
100% he bricks that every single time. Yeah.
But yeah, that was a great game. I bet on Houston in that game.
And I got a future on him. So I'm just rooting for them to win no matter what.
So they didn't cover. Then the brick.
Then the buzzer beater that't what a wild ride yeah to get the spread it was crazy hey it's ria from tricks in the office it's officially mini skort season and abercrombie has the ones to go out in their scarlet mini is a classic it's one of those skirts that fits the outfit vibe for any plans and i'm excited to style their new sienna skort it's a little flirty, and it's perfect for date night.

I'm going to just ask him how many years he went back to look at penises through pants. He probably is not going to pick up after last time.
Well, he's kind ofton for punishment what if there's a game and it's raining and someone always sends him clips of this show how see through are these things going to get seriously this will be a wet t-shirt contest I don't think he's picking up he's probably going through years and years of penises. Yeah, he's – I've reached Darren Rebell.

Okay. And the honorable mentions so far are the Lighthouse and Chris Long.
And Bethel Johnson.ris long was not on it i did uh do some reflecting i did some research yes i did reach out to chris uh i apologize for my comments towards him he is on the honorable mention list can we make a quote card out of that i apologize to my comments towards chris long yeah hank lockwood because he's he heard what you said and he he asked you he's like keep my name out your mouth and it dawned on me that hank has become florio hank lockwood is doing you're doing fan fiction you're trying to get clicks off his name well it wasn't fan fiction it is a fact that uh he did play for the eagles the next year and he is very good friends with lane johnson but so i kind of uh but there there was reports there was articles that were written that he was like he hated that lane johnson said that he disputed all the claims that lane johnson made that i kind of you know memory hold yeah memory hold and i was just like he's friends with lane johnson he loved it when he said that he definitely agreed not the case and i apologize also you forget that the lane johnson quote was not even the lane johnson quote because we said i heard it we said it he had kind of agreed with it and had like not really like jokey agreed with it then coward said that like did a whole segment about it and then it just became fact yeah it's actually kind of funny that we were the start of that story and then hank is somehow mad at chris long yeah you were sitting in the room you got that story really wrong okay so you take it back Chris Long honorable mention Patriot Yes That's good And then in the number 4 spot Okay wait Do 6 and 5 again Dante Hightower 6 Okay Title off 5 Did you watch the other 2 episodes I did watch the other 2 I am a little upset They kind of just yada yada'd 2003 and 2004 2004 uh-oh which the whole series is called dynasty the the first three episodes were great and then at the end of episode three they were like yeah they won in 2003 won 2004 dynasty happened and it's like yeah that was the the other two are the or what make it a dynasty yes and that was you know they went on a 21 game win streak they were dominant there was the whole there's a lot of lore in those two seasons with the Peyton Manning and a lot of

the playoff wins Brady becoming you know a superstar that I didn't appreciate them just

like basically they spent 40 minutes talking about deflake eight five minutes or spygate yeah

five minutes basically just a quick highlight package of oh three oh four and I would have

liked them to reverse it this documentary is maybe not off on a great foot in terms of who's highlighting. I would have liked a, I want some more biased direction in this documentary.
I haven't watched yet. Seems like they're making a documentary for the masses, which I guess is what you're supposed to do.
I was just expecting pure Patriots

porn and that

expecting to be, you know, days

and days of porn

and it was just, they just were like, yep.

They did like a full episode on Spygate, basically.

And I had forgotten some of the details

in Spygate. Do you remember

like after the story came

out that they were videotaping stuff illegally when Mangini kind of ratted him out to the New York security? The next game that the Patriots had, they brought down these giant electric boxes on the sidelines that were frequency readers to make sure that you didn't have Ernie Adams talking to Bill Belichick during the game. They treated it like it was West Germany, East West Germany, East Germany in the middle of the cold war at rules where they were checking into everything.
And then Belichick's explanation about the spy gate stuff. He's like, yeah, you know, I had a different interpretation of what the rules were.
And then they, they read the rules for him and he was like, yeah, well you can read it one way. We read it another way.
They were just, there was a lot of cheating going on. The, um, so I, you know, I, I, I'm not a doctor.
I just stayed at a holiday and last night i did not i have not watched it i'm gonna watch it i did read a jerry thornton blog though and he was like why was there so much time spent on drew bledsoe and bill parcells right yeah and it's like that is weird that they would do that and not talk about winning the superbowls which my fear now since you know's called Dynasty, they just glossed over Dynasty Part 1,

is that they're going to gloss over Dynasty Part 2

and then just talk about Belichick and Brady for like...

How many episodes are there?

Ten.

So they can't.

So there's going to be a full episode on 28-3.

But they did a full episode leading up to the...

What the hell is this?

Why do you put this on the Zang Florio?

Oh, hey, Florio!

People are watching on anywhere where we have it, Rumble, YouTube. I mean, this is a great photo.
You have to be watching this episode right now. Hank Florio.
That is a fucking nightmare image. You look like the shadiest lawyer of all time.
Hank Florio. That's a that's a weed law.
That actually is going to give me nightmare. That's a lawyer that specializes in driving while stoned.
Who made that? AI? Shane, yeah. Shane just made that? Oh my God.
Shane, I. No, memes made it.
Memes, send that to all of us. I need that.
Hank Florio. Okay, so by the way, Darren Revelle texted me back saying, I don't believe you.

So, he's hip to us.

Don't believe you the what?

That I was going to actually ask him a question and not hang up on him.

Which he's right.

I would have hung up on him.

Maybe.

No, I definitely would have.

I would have said, how many cocks have you looked at to try to carry the water for Michael

Rubin?

And then you've been like, uh, bang.

Would have been great. We'll get him again uh okay so hank six and five dante hightower yep tylo okay four four recurring guest oh i think it's friend of the program jules great guy jules gritty receiver basically fought through seven concussions against the Seahawks.
Chris Hogan. Made a miraculous catch against the Falcons.
Super Bowl MVP against the Rams. Wow.
Julian Edelman. Wow.
He's four. I think that's fair.
Okay. There's going to be a lot on Julian in this documentary, I'm sure of it.
Two feels like more. At least three.
Hank is nothing but honest with this, and I feel like, yeah, Gronk is, without Brady and Gronk together, I don't know if you get the second part of that dynasty. Mount Rushmore.
He is on the Mount Rushmore. All right.
He deserves to be. And who's your honorable mention this week? Chris Long.
Or today? Oh, Chris Long. He wasn't on it.
Oh, he wasn't. All right.
He was on dishonorable mention. Has anyone gone from dishonorable to honorable no chris long hernandez should be dishonorable yeah yeah you should do we haven't ruled him out of the list oh yeah you're right we still have 10 through it it's eight to go well he was never actually convicted his conviction was vacated so that's true in the eyes of the law not a murderer would be cool if he was number Of himself.
And he just went purely on, you know, upside.

It was there.

Okay, so Wednesday we'll get number three.

Who's defense?

Defense.

Who could it be on defense?

Will Fork.

Will Fork, yeah.

It's going to be Will Fork. Or Brewski.

Or Vrabel.

Is Hank going to have an all-white top four?

Uh-oh.

Yeah, we've got to have a conversation about this, Big Cat, because I don't think this. I was in New York for a long time.
Bad sports town, shitty sports teams, bad fans. I've really enjoyed my time in Chicago.
It is a great sports town. You can feel the energy in town around these teams.
People are excited. Hank is doing his who's back.
He literally looked online and was like, I need something for who's back. What's the last thing that happened? No, this is a fair...
This is a bad sports town moment, in my opinion. Patrick Kane, Red Wing, first game back against Chicago.
Yeah. I was there.
You were there? There were actually a lot of Red Wings fans there. Like, a lot.
The first goal was very loud. Like, all right, so I took my son.
It was an incredible night. I got a little misty-eyed when they did the Kane video tribute.
It was Chelios, Jersey retirement. I had to watch the Chelios, Jersey retirement at home because there was no chance I was getting a four and a half year old to sit through all that.
We went to ice cream maybe eight minutes into the first period to try to prolong staying at the game. The Kane moment was incredible.
He's everything. He's the best American hockey player.
He's fucking three cups. He's just showtime big moment after big moment i saw the overtime goal he scored overtime goal and basically got a standing out yeah i mean it's it's the blackhawks are bad right now they've they they're going for lottery balls i also think they were a lot of red wings fans there that people don't realize because the first goal that might be a bad sports down in its own well yeah it could be uh the the first goal telling us retirement night the first goal my That might be a bad sports sound of its own.
Well, yeah. It could be.
The first goal. Telling us retirement night.
The first goal, my son stood up and cheered. So he's actually a bad sports sound because he was confused because other people were cheering.
He just heard the horn and was like, this rocks. Now, were they cheering for the goal? Were they cheering for Patrick Kane? Or were they cheering for the draft pick? Both.
All three. I mean, Patrick Kane is like, yeah, I get it.
Sure. They're really bad.
They're the worst team in the NHL. Patrick Kane is the best.
He had double standing ovation. He went out.
That's all fair. And went back.
He deserves all the standing ovations. You know what we should do? But once the game starts, it's like that's where it's like you got to, you know, that happens.
We're tanking. They come back and they give them the standing O and then once the game starts, they start booing.

Well, we're tanking.

Oh, there was a lot of Detroit sucks chants going.

What we should do is how Hank's doing, like, the top 10 Patriots,

like the dynasty in his eyes.

We should do our list of top 10 guys that played for a shitty team in your town

that you rooted for the hardest when they left.

Yeah, I still root for Patrick Kane.

Not as much now on the Red Wings.

I did last year for the Rangers.

Yeah, okay. Bad sports sound.
That's fine. I mean, Patrick Kane is like, he's the best.
I don't disagree with that. He's going to get his jersey retired.
Once the game starts, you want to win the game. They're so bad, though, Hank.
But they don't want to win. They don't want to win.
I guess. I guess.
Celebrini. It's embraced a big...
Give me something. It's a tank for Celebrini.
Give me something. Something.
I need something. Suck weenie for Celebrini That's what we've been doing all year Idiot Suck weenie for Celebrini It's a very popular hashtag Yeah Dummy It was an incredible night though And we also have Box of the Year nominee So I was lucky enough to My son is going to be Very jaded Because he was able to take a picture with Wayne Gretzky tonight, which is crazy, his first hockey game ever.
But there was a box at the game that was Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, John McEnroe – I was only in there for like two seconds, but Wayne Gretzky, John McEnroe, Mark Messier, Kid Rock, Theo Epstein, Cindy Crawford. It might have been Box of the Year.
It would have been Jordan, too, if he was supposed to be there, right? Yeah. And Jordan also released a very funny video on a golf course, and he started with – they played it on the Jumbotron at the United Center, and he just started with, hi, I'm Michael Jordan.
It's like, okay. We know.
We know. We know, dude.
God, I would have been so starstruck by Kid Rock. Oh, that means Kid Rock's definitely getting fucked up in town tonight somewhere.
My wife was like, how long were you in there? I was like, we actually were only in there for like 90 seconds because I got the picture with Wayne Gretzky, said hello, but we had to leave because my son was like, Kid Rock, I think he was smoking five cigars at the same time. I love that.
It was so fucking smoky there. My son was like, I want to go home.
So, yeah, he's a bad. My son's a bad sports dad.
He also kind of a tough moment for me when I bought $200 worth of 50-50 raffle tickets. He's like, what do we win? I was like, no, that's not how it works.
You win the ability to try to get to you. That's we have.
We win this. We haven't won.
But OK, I understand your sentiment. You just completely forgot Suckweeney for Celebrity.
Yeah, just I think at some level if you're if you're in a game. It's so good, man.
I fucking love that guy so much. I love him.
I got misty eyed. That was my who's back was sports feelings because I was literally sitting there being like, God damn it.
He rocked so hard. And it was like having a guy play for your team and being like that guy, whenever you need a big moment, he always delivers.
There's just no better feeling as a sports fan. I hope to experience it.
It's like that guy will always show up when you need him to show up. Jules.
Yeah, you're number four Patriot. Okay, PFT.
My who's back is flacco the owl yes r.i.p kind of back maybe not so really back dead flacco the owl died r.i.p unfortunately flew into a building in new york so sean mcdermott needs a new like pre-season pump up speech for the bills yep i think he'll just do a graphic on flacco um so he he's been uh capturing the hearts and minds of New Yorkers for the last like two years. He's a Spanish owl.
Excuse me, Eurasian. I'm a Eurasian, yeah.
Eurasian eagle owl. He's an immigrant.
Yeah, he's an immigrant. And he escaped the Central Park Zoo in New York when somebody cut his netting in February 2023.
And then he just chilled in Central Park like a mascot flying around, dining on the biggest, fattest, dirtiest rats in the world. Is there a chance? How did he die? Did he leave a suicide note? How did he die? Yeah, because it feels like maybe he just was sick of all these New Yorkers taking pictures of him.
So I believe he flew into a building. Yeah, he flew into a building.
Idiot. Yeah.
It's a building, dude. So they said that there was a substantial hemorrhage under the sternum and in the back oh they did an autopsy on this fucker yeah it's a fucking owl yeah so he flew into the side of an upper west side building imagine being the window washer and you did like a great job and you're really proud and then you you rappel down to like the next floor and then flacco i bet you that love owl in the world i bet you that apartment's probably gonna go above asking now you think so yeah think so? Yeah.
This is where Flacco. What if it crashed through the window? What if it broke the window? Yeah.
Most famous New York desk, John Lennon, Flacco the owl. Yeah.
So RIP Flacco. I know everybody was really sad on Saturday morning.
So I don't want to piss off the Flacco the owl people. Very sad.
I do love animals. Some of the reactions were a little crazy yeah so I saw this one and um I couldn't tell if it was satire but it definitely wasn't but it was great satire if it was uh this person said late last night I saw the news that flack had passed away from a building collision it It seriously felt like I collided into a wall myself.
Just completely stunned to read those words. What an unfortunate tragedy.
Rip Flacco will miss you. Is it really a tragedy when an animal dies? Like, is it a wild animal? Harambe, again? I guess.
Yeah, I guess. That's all the lion.
I guess I just never was a Flacco guy, So it's like, I don't know. People love this fucking hour.
There was a vigil. I'm not going to hate on people because people should enjoy.
I'm a big believer in people enjoy whatever they want to enjoy. But saying it felt like I collided into a building too.
Yeah, it's a little bit much. Yeah, that was heavy.
That was heavy. So apparently he didn't break any.
Actually,, something's up Oh, is it Epstein? It says he didn't break any bones But he sustained massive hemorrhaging inside his body This seems like somebody else had a hand in it We need to check the flight logs Where's Hillary? Yeah Where's she been at? Was Flacco on the list? She'd been somewhere in the woods walking around. This owl probably had information that would have led to the arrest and subsequent conviction of Hillary Clinton.
Yeah. Interesting.
Do you think Hillary and Bill, like, late at night, like, Hillary's just like, so, what have you been doing? Maybe. There's got to be an awkward silence at some point where you're just like, so yeah, that time you said you were going on business trip.
Where was that? Yeah. Or why did you have to put a cigar in an intern's vagina, Bill? That was some really awkward moments like in their marriage where they're just sitting there.
Yeah, never mind. Yeah.
I don't want to talk about it. We don't need to get into it because I like doing the show and I hope none of us gets killed oh no I was saying that's what they would say never mind I don't want to talk about it yeah probably because Bill doesn't want to get killed yeah so I feel like well there was a hilarious Valentine's Day post from Hillary to Bill the other day and it was just like my Valentine after all these years and they're like smiling at each other you there's no chance they love each other right it's a work relation zero percent chance that they're in love with each other but yeah flaco let's let justice for flaco i'll i'll stand with the people who uh listen it's you know it seems fishy the fact that he died by flying into window and didn't break a single bone yeah and there's a lot of people in new york city and there's a lot of people who you know they need to find an owl to be their life.
Yeah. So I understand it.
Yeah. It's no different than our sports teams.

Or... new york city and there's a lot of people who you know they need to find an owl to be their life yeah so i understand it yeah no different than our sports teams or harambe or harambe yeah yeah but that was a little says murder a little satire yeah and a little satire and shot he was murdered wait what wait huh harambe was murdered there's no question cold blood i feel like blood.
A gorilla. A gorilla.
I feel like this owl, this OWL, got murdered too. Yeah.
I'm going to look into it. All right.
My who's back. Good who's back.
My who's back is Cam Newton. Yeah, big time.
Holy shit. Don't fuck with Cam Newton.
He was at a seven-on-seven tournament he was throwing, and there was a fight video that got released, cam newton somehow fought off well i guess not somehow because he's a fucking monster and a like beast of a human uh he fought off three guys with his hat never being touched the hat never got knocked off the the hat it had the tassels on it it remained perfect i it it should count as you knocking cam newton out if you knock his hat off yeah that's that's the rule dak prescott could never by the way i would like to see like next rough and rowdy logan paul versus cam newton no punches just try to steal his hat cam newton beat the fuck out of no you'd be no punches just try to get the hat try to get the hat can't be done it was it he there was one moment where he had a guy in a chokehold and then was just ragdolling another guy with his other arm. It's just awesome to see.
I don't know how this all started. They're probably talking shit about the hat.
Yeah, and these guys being like, yeah, three on one. We can get Cam Newton.
And Cam Newton just being like, no, you can't. Yeah, Cam Newton's first ballot, like, don't fuck with me guy.
You would think, too, if you were trying to fight Cam Newton, you'd be like, you'd just have a quick second where you'd say, oh, yeah, he used to do this to NFL linebackers. Like, run them over, make them look like little boys, little boy ass play.
Why would we try to fight Cam Newton? Yeah, a lot of people are saying, like, this might hurt any aspirations he has of a comeback. I think it helps it.
I think it helps a lot. He didn't make any business decisions during this fight.
No. Those three guys are just idiots for picking on you.
Morons. Morons.
Cam Newton was like 6'5", 6'6", probably 250 pounds. Don't fuck with Cam Newton.
Yeah, he's a shit brick house. Yeah.
Has he put out a statement on it with a weird font? I don't know. Maybe that was a fight over the font.
It might have been. Yeah.
By the way, so we were talking about Flacco the Owl. There's been another animal that we've discussed on this show recently, the pregnant stingray Charlotte.
Oh, yes. Yeah, the dude in that.
Where is it? It's in North Carolina. Hendersonville, maybe? Okay.
Yeah, the dude who works there being very nervous. So Charlotte the Pregnant Stingray has still not given birth,

which makes me think this might be a publicity stunt.

RG3.

RG, exactly.

Like, is she really pregnant?

And there was a great-

She could be body shaming.

Yeah, she might just be fat.

She might have just gotten fat.

She's going through menopause.

Back off. Add this to the list of great black sports online's headlines okay of all time no no no sports online who happens to be black experts on if a shark had relations with a female stingray who is pregnant even though she hasn't seen a male stingray in eight years video that's a great headline shout out robert little yep oh gee he's been on the internet for a long one of the best ever read headlines yeah uh yeah that we need to we need a conclusion to this otherwise she's just fat she might just be fat she's fat uh okay jake finish us off my who's back of the week is this league we had a brawl on friday night oh yeah between the heat and the pelicans and it was exciting yeah a lot of suspensions jimmy butler wait i thought you were pro safety oh interesting hypocrite but it sounds like no one got hurt no one got hurt someone could have gotten hurt yeah could have i wouldn't have the same tone yeah i don't think you can i don't think you can celebrate this brawl t culture the right jake yeah he quite everyone trip people no trip people no i'm excited for celtics hank to be back well you're well you're gonna hear it in a minute but yeah yeah um they are really good but yeah it was exciting jimmy beller said it's that time of year he's starting to lock in since i put the heat on the hot seat on the show a month ago they're seven and two good job jake starting to lock in and uh yeah it was a crazy brawl crazy brawl yeah there was a couple wasn't there another brawl too the fires rangers fight rock Oh, yeah, that was incredible.

Now, here's Derek White and Peyton Pritchard. Okay, we now welcome on two very special guests from the Boston Celtics.
It is Derek White and Peyton Pritchard. First of all, thank you guys for coming by.
And Derek, I've met you before, and I'm happy that you're here right now because you contributed to a very embarrassing moment for me. I don't know if you even remember it, but it was surviving Barstool, and I got eliminated in the first day, so I was staying at a hotel, and celtics were playing i think you guys were pre-season yeah we've been nicks in the pre-season yeah and we got in the elevator together and i was like uh i have a podcast and my producer's a huge celtics fan and you just go yeah i know and i was like fuck i feel like such an asshole so uh i think should we credit plate griffin for getting you guys to listen to pmt is that who we need to credit um actually my god paul over here okay he was the one that sent it to me first and uh he's like you got to watch the fastest two minutes and so i used to watch that and then i was like let me just keep watching see what's going on and uh just been a fan since so love that respect that's awesome so you're aware of hank and his his uh celtics fandom yeah yeah yeah so i i knew all that i mean big cat got in the elevator but he had like headphones in so i'm like i don't know if i should say something yeah i was thinking the same thing like he's in we kind of stood in opposite corners of the elevator kind of just like kind of looking at each other i was like uh yeah so i'm a big fan but uh i don't know what to say it's like i'm a big fan but i don't know what to say when you see hank on the his feet on the wood, you know, like sitting courtside, are you like, I got to show out tonight because Hank's here? It's like when guys see Drake on the sidelines.
Yeah, you always want to show out for Hank. Yeah.
Do you guys know when you guys were in the finals, did you see Hank almost take a – was that in the finals when he pump shot it? He did a pump fake with the ball. The ball rolled to him in the middle of the finals, and he pump faked and had the whole crowd going crazy what game was that uh what game was that game four five four yeah yeah yeah it was nice pump fake he's the mellow yeah it would have gone in sounds like you guys don't really know you know the vibes that hanks i didn't see that one yeah we lost that game so i don't know if it helped or hurt us yeah that's probably hurt yeah if he shot it and went in that would help yeah no chance yeah sure should have shot it yeah um i want to talk to you guys about something that is i guess everyone's talking about right now after the all star game um it was not really a game as much as it was like a lot of offense we've figured out some ways where we can fix it most of them are stupid as shit and probably won't work and your guys had like is there a way that you can fix the all-star game because i do have one suggestion uh to add to it, but I want to hear you guys go first.
Also, Derek, you should have been an All-Star. Facts.
Yeah, yeah. I appreciate it.
That would have fixed the All-Star game. Yeah, that would have fixed the All-Star game.
You would have tried hard. Yeah.
Yeah, so what's the fix, Peyton? Do you think there is a fix, or is it just guys don't want to get injured? Putting money up for the winning team? Yeah. Yeah.
Well, my idea was that the losing team had to pay the winning team because then it's money both ways because then guys would actually be upset if they lost like they have to pay like someone has to go and pay lebron five hundred thousand dollars yeah so what amount per person i think it's 500 each yeah it's got something big yeah it would also be very funny if adam silver was like you guys stay out of the gambling app stay out of casinos also if you're an all-star you're forced to bet the other guy 500 000 to make our game better yeah uh my suggestion would be that the winning team everybody on that roster for the winning team gets like 10 tags from the nba's main account on instagram for the rest of the year along with a link that will allow people to slide into your DMs more easily.

Like highlight reels.

You get like 10 highlight reels for the rest of the year.

That's pretty good.

What do you think about that? Just for the winning team?

Just for the winning team, yeah.

Losing team gets low light reels posted.

Every missed shot, yeah.

Whatever it takes to make it entertaining.

I was thinking, too, losing team can't tie their shoes for the rest of the season.

Do you guys think? I mean, that would probably be an injury waiting to happen. I don't like that.
Okay, all right. As long as we win.
Yeah, yeah. We're working.
I'm fine with that. So we got the video right there.
That's Hank on the sidelines. It's on this monitor right here.
Right here. If you want me to lean forward, yeah.
I hate that because that was actually off of my turnover. Oh, no.
It's okay that I remember that. You almost got an assist.
You're like, who's that fucking guy? Oh, man. That's very funny.
If you shot it and you made it in Steph's face, that would have went crazy. Now the crowd would have went nuts.
They can't kick you out if you make it, right? No. No.
If you miss, if you airball, they kick you right out. That makes sense.
Yeah. So the other question I had to just start about the NBA right now, the thing that people talk about a lot is the scoring is crazy right now.
From your guys' perspective, because you've been in the league for a little bit and you obviously have been playing basketball your whole life, is it a problem or is it just everyone's so skilled that it's like we're trying on defense but guys are just so goddamn good? I think a little bit of both. I mean, especially, like, as it goes on, like, in the playoffs, like, you'll see more defense, more intensity on both sides.
So especially, like, in the playoffs, like, there is defense. But there's just so much space now, and you're giving these star players so much room with four shooters around them.
Like, it's really hard to stop them or slow them down, especially when they get in a rhythm. So it's just the space and everything, the rules of the way they are, it's kind of impossible.
But, I mean, once the playoff starts and it gets a little bit more physical, it'll definitely slow down, and that's really a different ballgame. Yeah, did you guys notice it right when you got to the NBA? Like, Peyton, you played at Oregon, and then you get to the NBA, and it's like, wait, everyone can make shots everywhere? Because it does feel the nba is like every guy on the bench can make shots for sure i kind of noticed it like in college it's like i don't know if you noticed it but like you turn the ball over in the nba it's almost like a guarantee three ball or like to the rim right college you might you know people can miss you also have like two or three people in college you can help off of right Right.
And you also have no three seconds in the key. Right.
You got a big that's just sitting there. So I think it's way harder scoring in college than it is in the NBA.
Yeah. But it's just the different rules as far as that.
Yeah, and college refs also are terrible refs. I mean, that's a fact.
They just call charges everywhere. Yeah, they're just addicted to calling charges.
Yeah, you can say it now. Like you're not in college.
Yeah, you can say it. You're like, yeah, college ref can say yeah college refs pack 12 refs pretty bad yeah and that's why they got rid of the league they did well for us so we won a lot so i didn't complain there you go yeah you're a big 10 guy now yeah yeah you got i mean that's that's real basketball that's we're playing in like the 50s so you gotta be ready for that did you uh my oregon question is like you, you had to hate that court, right? I mean, it's hard.
I didn't actually notice it, but – On TV? Yeah. On TV, it looks weird, but you never notice it playing, but I didn't mind it.
Did you – because you played at Colorado your last year, Derek. Did you notice it when you get there? You'd be like, this is – what is going on here? You don't really notice it that much, but, like, when we had shoot around, I was like, what are we doing? Yeah.
It looks doing it looks dirty yeah looks like somebody spilled something on it i mean i do look horrible on tv yeah it looks horrible on tv i do like it when it's like you know 10 p.m and you got bill walton calling a game and it does feel like you're taking acid with him and you're like okay this makes sense but when it's like a prime time game you're like i don't want to watch this what's going on that's true yeah derek you went to Colorado uh were you did altitude affect your shot at all because I'm all I'm always thinking about altitude in terms of football right you always talk about the altitude games going to Denver but it's got to make a difference in basketball right um I don't know about the shot um I mean I'm from Colorado so I never really knew the difference but yeah when people would come in and like they can't breathe like that is real. But I don't know if it really affects the shot.
Maybe. I don't know.
I never really thought about that. The less wind resistance.
Yeah, just a little bit. For a guy like me, I'm money down at sea level.
You see that. But if I go to Colorado, I might be able to dunk.
You might be better enough. Good point, Peyton.
So we've got a member of the podcast, Hank, that thinks he's going to be able to dunk by the end of the year, the calendar year. He's about five inches away from the rim right now.
And he's just going to train like hell, just work out the legs, build up some beef in the quads, the hamstrings. And so I guess you've got to get, what, like eight inches above the rim to be able to dunk? Do you think he can do it? How old were you guys when you first dunked? Good i was late um probably like 16 okay 15 15 16 and what what changed where you like couldn't dunk before and then what'd you work on to be able to i think the answer is genetics i just got above the rim yeah pretty much it yeah i gotta ask about the hat too save the bees i I just saw the hat in my house.
I like the colorway. Okay.
It fit the outfit at the time, so I just went with it. Okay, you're not a bee guy? No, I don't even know what the hat's for.
Perfect hat. Fuck them bees.
All right, I got a tough question. On a scale of one to 10, how awkward is it Coach Missoula's obsession with the movie The Town? How often does he bring it up? He doesn't really bring it up with us that often.
Okay. But I think it's a media thing.
Yeah. He never is like, this is like, you know, you're going into like a game seven.
You're like, we're robbing a bank, boys. It's no big deal.
We've done this a million times. We've only seen one clip.
Yeah, he showed one clip of it one time. The whose car are we taking? No.
No, that is his favorite line though yeah uh it was the note yeah the note the car the they left the note on the car yeah um yeah other than that he doesn't really he does wear that shirt a lot whose car we taking yeah yeah it's definitely his favorite show or movie but yeah you don't hear about as much as the media it is probably a media obsession because the other one was that he does – what does he do, Taekwondo?

No, Jiu-Jitsu.

He got choked out.

Or he was trying to get the guy out.

Yeah, and I think there was a story about how he got – the story about his Jiu-Jitsu coach flying out like every time that he needed him

was nuts.

But I guess – I mean, he's a tough coach.

Like you guys – when you guys like – when he took over the job, we were like, this guy's played, he's a tough coach. Like, do you like playing for a guy like that? I mean, he definitely expects, like, I enjoy it because he expects you to play hard.
Yeah. You know, sometimes I feel like in coaches in the NBA, they get in the NBA mode of, like, the season's long and stuff.
He doesn't really care, like, back- anything. Like he's trying to win every game and you can feel his passion towards it.
So I really respect that out of him. Yeah.
Was there a moment for each of you guys where you realized that you could play in the league? Where we could? Yeah. Yeah.
Like growing up. Like right now, after you get drafted, right? After you enter the NBA, I assume that everything's a little bit new.
There's there's some uncertainty there right because you haven't played against this level of competition yet maybe in the back of your mind unless maybe you're supremely confident in your own abilities but I would assume that there's like something in everybody that's like I don't know let's see if we can do this and then there might be a moment where it clicks and you're like oh yeah I belong here yeah definitely I mean my first year I was basically in the G League the whole time and um like when I did play in the NBA which is like garbage minutes like here and there so um it's kind of like in the back of your mind like do I really belong here like especially a kid like like I was from D2 like the D1 like late like some people like they come to the league like yeah this is what I've been destined to do or not and so um definitely was the time was like do I do I really belong here and then uh probably like the playoffs like I had a good first round and I was like oh yeah I'll be here for a little bit and that kind of just clicked from there yeah did you have one Peyton where you're like yeah I belong here probably like right when I got to the Celtics is playing against the guys preseason stuff becauseseason stuff, because I played right away. Yeah, I kind of thought that.
Yeah, because Derek, you had the famous pop quote when you got drafted by the Spurs, and I think the story goes that you played well in your first preseason game, and then someone asked what your role was going to be, and he said, get towels and water. Yeah.
That's got to hurt. Yeah.
And I was like, I thought I played pretty well. Maybe I'll find here and there.
And, yeah. And I saw that.
I was like, oh, this is going to be interesting. Way different from anything I've ever experienced in my life before.
Do you think that was good? Because it feels like Pop is a guy who, like, he doesn't want to throw you into the fire. I would assume that would be a good thing for a rookie who's like, I don't know, you know, what's going on here.
Yeah. I mean, it makes sense.
Like, we had DeJounte, Patty, Patty Mills, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Dana Green. Like, there's all these guys that have done so much in the league before me.
So, like, he's not going to just throw you out there if you're not ready. And, I mean, I was just trusted because the Spurs has had so much success developing players.
And so I knew that I was going to be sent to the G League eventually and just try to embrace it and make the most out of it.

Did you ever interact with Kirk Goldsberry?

Do you know him?

No, I know it is.

He was like the vice president of being a nerd for the Spurs.

Yeah, he was chief nerd.

Chief nerd.

I like his numbers.

Yeah, he does the graphs.

Yeah, so what do you guys think about that, about basketball analytics?

Do people, does a nerd ever come up to you and whisper in your ear,

like, hey, this is your corner, you need to shoot more here or like this is you should change your game in this way uh not necessarily like these are what you like you know where you like to shoot from so you don't really need someone to tell you but i want to say someone's like maybe you like break down the numbers like oh you shoot this much from the corner and or what percentage so like they don't really come up to you saying that like they don't really want to get in your head and whatnot so yeah but you know like where you want you where you want to be at and where you're comfortable at and and so you just try to get to there yeah i've heard a lot of stories about san antonio about how uh pop's a big wine guy he loves wine he'll go out take people out for the most expensive bottles that you'll ever find did he ever take you out for dinner like were you part of a team dinner where he just opens up the wallet and drops 20 bottles of wine on the table? Yeah, all the time. Like, especially, like, we stay in the city after a game.
Like, it's a team dinner and all the wine. And, like, one time I was, like, my rookie year, I was, like, no, I don't want to drink anything, like, trying to be a good guy.
And he was, like, oh, come on. Like, you're going to have a glass of wine with us.
Like, this is part of the gig. And I was, like, all right.
And then ever since then, like, I just started getting more into wine. and like if I have a question of wine with us like this is part of the gig the gig and i was like all right and then ever since then like i just started getting more into wine and like if i have a question about wine like i'll call pop and he'd be like no don't drink that drink this and so he's big into wine that's awesome i know a lot of nba players have gotten to wine recently is that is that something that you found is like more and more popular over the years yeah i think it's really the the big thing i mean especially after a game it's just nice to have a glass of wine.
Yeah. Just kind of relax.
They should let players in the All-Star game drink wine during the game. I mean, LeBron was probably drinking wine.
He was probably drinking wine. Yeah.
Peyton, when you were at Oregon, a lot of guys, obviously in the NBA now, they don't stay for all four years. Did you sense it from the fans that they were like, all right, this guy's been here for too long? Because I looked up my old tweet, and I had one that I said, is this Peyton Pritchard's last year? I swear he's like 28 years old and has been playing for the Ducks for a decade.
Get him off my TV. Yeah.
My bad. I feel like it felt like that because I started as a freshman.
Right. Yeah.
And we went to the Final Four that year, too. So I feel like it's like a good thing people think of because it means you're probably winning and you're on the big games a lot.
But I don't know. Yeah, definitely.
I felt like I was there forever. I noticed that you changed up your shoe game recently because I think the first time we saw you play Meaningful Minutes for the Celtics, we were like, why is he wearing black shoes all the time? Black shoes are slow.
I've seen that. They actually weren't black.
They were like dark green. But the problem was I had a couple of good games in them.
Yeah. So I'm like.
That's all it takes. They are slow, though.
They look slow as fuck. My dad used to always say that.
Yeah. Black shoes look slow.
Yeah, sure. Yeah.
I only wear white ones now, really. Yeah, I noticed that.
I think we talked about that on the show. We're like, I like where Peyton's going with his career because he's not wearing those clunky-ass black shoes anymore.
Yeah. Looks like he's running through cement.
Yeah, I switched them up. This is the high-level analysis you get on this show.
Yeah, you can listen to J.J. Reddick talk about off-ball defense all you want.
We're going to talk about how slow you look when you wear dark-colored shoes on this show. Yeah, and you got way better when you started wearing white shoes.
Facts. Yeah.
Speaking of which, the details, the important basketball details that we always get into in the show. Derek, why did you decide to cut your hair? Well, I told my boy, like, Christmas of that year, I was like, after the year, I'm doing it.
And then after we lost, like, I was just sitting there kind of just depressed and just, like, cut it. And then it just happened and just been rocking the bald gang forever now.
Yeah. Yeah, it's a good look.
It is a good look, yeah. Some people hang on way too long and then you're like, probably should have done that a couple years ago.
I'm talking about myself right now, but I just wear a hat. So I respect the fact that you're like Belichick, cut it one year too early instead of one year too late, right? Yeah.
I mean, I walk ahead all the time, so they didn't really change much. Like, really just on the basketball court is really people notice it.
Yeah. Who's the one team that you guys like to beat the most? Ooh, good question.
Does it rhyme with Philadelphia? Winning in Philly is fun. Yeah.
Yeah. You guys do it a lot.
That rivalry That rivalry you can feel is just different going into that building or when they're playing us in Boston. Do you think it is a rivalry? Because at some point they would have to win, right, to make it a true rivalry.
It's a fun game. Wait, were you guys on the Celtics when the Sixers hit the cannons too early? No.
That was all time. That was Philly that did that? Yeah, Philly hit the cannons and then they lost in overtime.
Yeah, I've heard about that. You got second place and they celebrated it? That's wild.
Yeah, in a playoff game. I can't believe that.
That was pretty bad. That's embarrassing.
That was really bad. How good is Jason Tatum? Are you on the court ever kind of zoning out being like, damn, he's good? know like maybe you're like oh shit i wasn't paying attention that possession so i was just watching him just be awesome he's phenomenal yeah i mean at his size the way he can dribble and move and and being able to hit threes and and get to the hoop it's i mean he's one of a kind yeah so yeah off that question so you guys obviously like you have Jason Tatum, you have Jalen Brown.
They're kind of the stars on your team. How do you stay like in rhythm if you're not shooting for an extended stretch? Because that like we've had this debate with people before that sometimes the NBA turns into like one-on-one where a guy's just going off.
And you're like everyone else has to stay in rhythm somehow how do you do that yeah I think that's like a very underrated skill yeah if you don't touch the ball a lot yeah um but I think especially this year like we're doing a good job with like everybody's involved um it's not just JT or JB um I mean we got a lot of weapons so everybody's involved we each each got the freedom to attack and do whatever we need to do. But yeah, it's definitely an underrated skill of just being ready.
Whenever you finally get the ball or the ball comes to you, the ball might not come to you for 10 possessions in a row, but you still got to compete defensively and then be ready to knock it down or make a play. So's definitely one of the the tougher skills that nobody really talks about that um it's hard to stay in rhythm especially people have had the ball in their hands their entire life right so it's definitely an adjustment but especially this year I think we're doing a good job just keeping everybody involved and everybody just feels like uh they're a part of the offense yeah yeah I mean it is it it definitely like no one really talks about or no one really like compliments guys who are able to be just in rhythm even though they haven't been part of the offense for a couple possessions and you're right i didn't even think about the part that like you guys were obviously incredible basketball players your whole life and then you get to the nba it's like wait i was the one who was taking all the shots i had 50 ball screens at.
Yeah. Yeah, now it's somebody else.
Yeah. Last year in the playoffs, you guys obviously were in the Eastern Conference Final.
Didn't go well. I'm not going to bring up painful memories.
But I had two questions about that series. One, our boss, Dave Portnoy, tried to take credit for putting together a team dinner.
Do you guys know that he put together a team dinner in Miami when you – I think you were down 3-0.

Did you know he did that?

I didn't know that was him.

Okay, so it looks like no credit given.

Yeah.

In Miami.

Went to that little sushi place where we sat off top.

I didn't think that was after game three, though.

It might have been game four after game four.

But he basically was like, if they win this series, it's all because of me.

That was before game five.

Maybe, yeah. Or before game six.
Before game six. Komodo.
Komodo. Oh, yeah, yes.
He knows those guys. So, yeah.
Did you know that he was the one who hooked that up? I did not know. Okay.
It was good and a lot of food. Okay, all right.
So, yeah, he was walking around being like, when they come back, it's all on the start of the championship DVD. So, that's what he was saying.
That and Topgolf. Yeah.
Oh, Topgolf.

Topgolf brought you back.

And then the other one, Derek, when you hit the game winner in game six,

which was incredible.

First of all, walk me through how, like, that happened because it was, like,

off of a rebound, no time left.

Like, did you just – it was just all instinct, I'd assume?

Yeah, pretty much. I mean, I was taking it out, and out and I remember there was like two seconds or however much they added on um so I was like we got a lot of time so like I was expecting like someone to take a dribble or something but when we talked about in training camp like in the game offensive rebounds are huge and so um the shot went up and I just was like you might as well crash and it bounced right to me me.
And then, yeah, that's just instincts. And, I mean, I felt pretty confident I got it off.
But you're kind of just sitting there waiting. And I feel like that five seconds was like five hours.
Yeah. It was great.
I bet you there was a lot of dads across America who were like, see, that's why you offense. That's why you crash the boards.
That's why you follow your shot. Like, that was, you were everyone's, like, favorite player that night.

And then the other thing in this shot, our producer, Max, we have a video up.

So, he is a diehard Sixers fan.

He hates the Celtics.

He hates Hank.

He hates pretty much everyone, and all he does is lose.

So, this is his replay of what he's rooting so hard for the heat in this game.

This is his replay of what he's rooting so hard for the heat in this game. This is replay of watching your shot go in.

So go ahead, play it.

And no one asked him to take the video.

No one asked him to take the video.

He was just like, I'm going to film myself.

I had a couple beverages.

I think it was Memorial Day weekend.

Yeah, your cheeks are sweating.

Yeah.

It was hot.

No!

No!

Did it count?

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

I need a rolling.

I need a rolling.

I need a rolling.

I need a rolling.

No way.

No way.

No.

Oh, he got one.

No!

Oh. That was against the entire city of Philadelphia, too.
That was against you. That was him.
You crushed. You ruined his Labor Day.
Yeah, no. I wanted you guys to lose for sure.
That's funny. Yeah, that's what sports does.
It brings us all together and gets kissed by your boys in the middle of the... Max, do you have any questions for them because you hate the Celtics so much? I don't know.
Like, what's it like? I mean, you got to hate Sixers fans more than anyone, right? They beat you all the time. I hate you, but it is definitely a different atmosphere in Philly but I hate them it's fun like I said earlier it's definitely fun playing there yeah I mean you guys just beat the shit out of us all the time it sucks Hank what do you got? Hank is a die hard Celtics fan he actually like now that the Patriots stopped winning Super Bowls, I think the Celtics are his number one easily.
Yeah, I mean for

a while. I feel like the

same core team, the

biggest unexpected storyline for me

has been like Porzingis and Jalen

Brown and how tight they are. I feel

like they're like a buddy cop

friendship, which no one

really expected. Is it like that? Like were you guys

surprised at like how tight they are and like do they act like they're like you know brothers in the locker room and stuff i mean i feel like i wasn't surprised i mean they they do live in the same apartment building yeah uh but no they're jb and kp have wrote like just easy going and like get along with everybody great personality so once i met k, he was going to be a great fit to the locker room because he is a good dude. Yeah.
Yeah, they're always next to each other. So you got no choice but to become friends, and they were just playing well together.
KP makes life easier for everybody. Yeah, for sure.
Does KP do things in practice sometimes where you're like, holy shit, that dude's still got some incredible athleticism? We don't. I mean, in the games, but practices, we don't really do live stuff or anything like that.
That's a bad question. Bad question.
But he is 7'4 and can shoot from anywhere. In games, it's incredible.
I definitely wouldn't ask that. Unless he gets a switch, you're like.
I feel like his body was just... They just kind of put him in suspension last year where he was on ice for a year playing with the Wizards.
And then they're like, okay, now he's fully healthy, ready to go. He actually had a great year last year.
He killed us last year. Yeah.
Hank also, he just told us before we started taping this that if you guys don't win the title this year, he's going to shave his

face into

soul patch. Yeah, never said that.

He's like all in. All in.

Didn't you say that? Nope. You want to say it right now?

No. For the guys.

Right here. You believe in the Celtics, don't you?

You don't believe in us? Yeah, you don't believe in them?

Unless you believe in us. Come on!

Come on, you don't believe in them?

I believe in you guys. So then you would do it if you believed in them.
Yeah, I believe in you guys. What about Hank? You can follow Derek's lead, and if the Celtics win the championship, you shave your head.
Oh. I'll do that.
Okay. Okay.
All right. We got it.
We got it. And if they don't, soul patch.
Yeah, I'll shave my head when we win. Okay.
okay. When they win.
Do you have any other crap? No, it's we. Is it we? I've wondered about that, like with diehard fans.
Can they say we? For sure. It's the city.
Yeah. Yeah.
You put so much heart and soul into it. Yeah.
Do you get mad, though? Because what I do is I say we when it's going well, and then when it's bad, I'm like, they. Yeah, that's not either right or – My other question was Jeff Van Gundy because he obviously just came in late.
Does he work with the players or does he work with the coaching staff? Because it's not a coaching role. I don't really know what his role is.
I just know it's like, yeah, Jeff Van Gundy is a Celtics staffer, but what does that mean? Yeah, he's mostly with the coaches. But, like, he's just around practices, and if anybody has anything, they can go to him.
And he has a great basketball mind, and so just adding him has been, I think, great. But I think he's mostly with the coaches, Steph.
How many – does Brad Stevens ever draw plays for you guys? Or is he just obviously, you know, he's in management.

But does he ever come down and is like, hey, try this?

Not that I've seen, but I'm sure him and Joe talk.

Yeah.

Because I played with Brad for my rookie year.

So he's definitely really smart in that aspect of like the game and like the plays and all that.

Like Brad is a genius.

Yeah.

When you guys like would go on a losing streak or anything, would he ever just be like, Indiana would pay me $150 million right now if I went back to college? You think they would? Yeah, they definitely would. Desperately.
He never holds that over you guys? He's like, I can be living in Indiana, $150 million, no problem. No, I think he enjoys it in Boston.
Yeah, I mean, he's got a pretty nice life i would say i i like that's the indiana basketball they just he is the guy that they just put out there they're like brad stevens will just come and save everything it's like i don't think he's leaving yeah yeah i don't see it happening yeah i think being in the front office would be an awesome gig yeah just watch basketball and you're like here's what i would do different especially for a good team yeah you'd be like yeah see we're one minor tweak and i think i could solve this yeah what are the differences in coaching style between brad eme and joe oh good question i guess that's only for me yeah uh hmm we do fmk for those three if that's right i Brad is – I mean, there's definitely similarities to all three of them.

Brad is, I would say, a little bit more laid back, obviously really smart.

Imei was more tense, would you say?

Like, I don't know.

You guys got an edge when Imei took over it felt like especially defensively yeah i i think definitely did i think uh joe's like a balance between the two of them like he would he worked under brad so i think he took a lot of that stuff and then and joe was already like you know kind of like a psycho in a way like he's very like mentally in, and he expects that a lot. So he has that part of E-May in him too.
So he has a little bit of both. Yeah, I mean, I would expect you to be pretty locked in and going aggressive when you have the town just playing on loop in your brain.
For sure. The more I think about that, I like that strategy where it's like, I'm going to tell the media something just ridiculous about myself.
We fell for it. And then that's all the idiots in the press room ask about it.
Talk to me more about the town. Yeah, we fell for it.
And meanwhile, they're not asking about anything else. He does, yeah.
Yeah. When you guys saw Ime having a little back and forth with LeBron, were you like, I'm not surprised at all? No, not at all because I knew he didn't like LeBron.
I mean, I believe that LeBron would have, I think Emei might have beaten him up if they let them fight. Head to head.
Yeah, it feels like Emei is a pretty tough dude. It'd be interesting.
Yeah. I'd pay to watch.
Maybe Rough and Rowdy. Maybe we'll get it going, Rough and Rowdy.
That'd be good. Speaking of the town, what are you guys' favorite Boston movies? Ted.
Ted. Ted, okay.
Ooh. That's a wild card.
I kind of like Good Will Hunting. That's a classic.
Yeah, that's a classic. It's not your fault.
How about them apples? Yeah. Uh-huh.
I'd just go see about a girl. Yeah.
Yeah. A lot of classic lines of that one.
I went on my first date to Good Will Hunting. Didn't go well.
It didn't? No, it's got a bad connotation in my head, yeah. Oh, damn.
A girl broke up with me at the ice skating rink right after the movie was over. It was tough.
Oh, shit. So you never watched it again? I never watched it again.
I should go back and see it, but it would bring up a lot of painful memories, but jokes on her because I dated all her friends afterwards. Nice.
To get back at her. That's awesome.
Yeah, it is awesome for you. Thank you I touched boobs when I watched water boy in the theaters.
That was pretty cool. That is cool.
Yeah I do with it. Yeah, I don't know if it was the first time but it was definitely awesome That movie I didn't watch much of that movie.
It's funny movie big moment. Yeah I got another serious basketball question for you for you um how far in advance do you pick out your outfits for the tunnel walks oh p p probably does them more than me it's like 30 minutes before i head out yeah more of a sweat pants kind of chill yeah and we'll edit this part out if the answer is not correct but when you were in that boy dad sweatshirt that was not because you're a boy dad that was because you listen to the podcast.
I am a boy dad. Okay.
So I just had my second son. And so my wife bought it for me.
And I was like, after he's been in the group. But it's also Little Sass.
You love Little Sass. I actually didn't know it was Barstow.
Okay. But now you love Little Sass.
Now you love Little Sass. And you wish you had found out about him early.
Yeah. I should have done my research before wearing it.
Yeah, yeah. I am a fan now.
Yeah, that's good. That's a good shirt.
That's huge. Good answer.
So the stretch run, you guys obviously were taping this in February. How is the stretch run in the NBA when you know you're a really good team, you guys are the one seed, you know you have the playoffs, is it hard to keep focused down this stretch where it's like we're going to be playing meaningful basketball for a very long time? And, like, these games in the middle of March, do they kind of drag sometimes? I mean, I think the one difference about this team this year that I noticed is, like, everybody really, like, loves basketball.
So, every day, like, when she said, like, everybody's, like, kind of excited to play. And, like, it doesn't matter if it's really a back-to-back or, you know, we've had, like, five games and seven nights.
Like, people are, like, motivated. Yeah.
I'd say the toughest stretch in the NBA is probably, like, the week or two before All-Star break. Yeah.
Like, it's not halfway. Like, we've played the majority of our games.
And so, you know, you're just tired. And people got their vacations booked.
They're looking forward to get to the sun. So I feel like that's the toughest stretch.
I mean, after this, now we're just trying to prepare for the playoffs and make sure we play in the best basketball we can to get to the real basketball. Yeah.
Does it affect your preparation for the playoffs at all with the play-in tournament where you don't know who you're going to until like the last minute? Nah. Take anybody.
Yeah, not really. What about the in-season tournament? Did you guys, like when they announced the in-season tournament, did you care about it? And then once you started playing in it, did your level of how much you care about the in-season tournament change? Yeah, when they first announced it, I was like, what is this? But it was actually pretty fun.
That game against Indiana that we lost at Indiana, Indiana has never been that loud before in the games I've played there. It was just a different level.
So I think it was a success, and it was a lot of fun. I think they did a good job, and it's going to just be around forever now.
Yeah, people are pumped. We actually have a colleague here, Mark Titus, that has a great idea for how to switch up the NBA a little bit, make things more exciting.
One night per year, there is one breakable basketball goal that you can shatter the backboard at, but they don't tell you where it is, but it's just in some arena somewhere in the league. Do you think that would get the guys pumped up? Yeah.
It depends on like a basic dunk. If it's a basic dunk and the backboard breaks, then you're just like, ah.
That would be a letdown. Yeah, you're right.
It would have to be a good dunk that broke it. Have you guys ever broken a backboard or a rim? No.
Just let nerf one. Yeah.

That counts.

That's got to be a great feeling, though, if you're able to shatter one.

Yeah.

Hank, before I ask my last question, do you have any other questions?

No.

That was it.

I was going to talk about the fashion questions.

I feel like it's you, JB, and Tatum are always going for it.

And then some guys, you know, Derek and Horford,

just roll up in their normal fits. Yeah.
Time fits. Yeah.
Drew comes with some good outfits. Yeah.
KP, he's so tall, but he always rocks the, you know, wears the, rolls it out. He got a little style.
He's wearing suits to games for year and the year. Have there ever been any misses where some guy wears something he thinks is going to look really awesome and then you guys just all clown him? I mean, I've definitely missed my time.
I look back at some of my old outfits and I'm like, what the heck? I'm going to look it up. Yeah.
Did the boys. What was the locker room after that when Drake was chirping you? Well, I didn't know whether to take it as a compliment or was he trying to diss me? But I mean, at the end of the day, Drake so i was like whatever it's compliment all right last question roback question r-h-o-b-a-c-k dot com promo code take 20 off your first purchase q-zips polos hoodies joggers shorts everything roback.com promo code take uh do you guys want to guarantee a title it would help the podcast and we've been very nice to you guys we're gonna put everything into it to win one okay and what about you Derek yeah I agree with what he said okay so if I said you guys are gonna win the title guaranteed would you agree with that won't be because of a lack of effort okay okay so halfway there if you don't win a title How how does how disappointing of a season is that it would definitely be disappointing that kind of sucks though like i i know that's the right mentality for a player to have but you can have a great season what are you honest right now yeah no i am no i'm like uh anthony rendon like the game comes after faith and family yeah um but like if you have a great season you don't win the title you're like well that was a waste of a year to me like i i don't have that mentality which is probably why i'm not in the nba where i'd be like yeah uh i had a lot of i made a lot of friends this year yeah in the league so it's not a good time yeah i don't know i would say it's a waste yeah it wouldn't be a waste it just writes this makes the story better when we finally do do it yeah that's true and we we got enough because we'll just do a quote that says, we're going to win the title guaranteed and then not for lack of effort in really small print.
And then it will say Peyton Pritchard in big print and then Big Cat in small print. Yeah, or it can be- So you just have to figure out who said what.
You'd be like, we're going to win the title this year. That's a guarantee, Dash, PFT, and Big Cat.
And then in big letters, while they're interviewing Peyton Pritchard. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's sad.
Our chances. You're not adding Derek in there at all? Yeah.
Just Peyton. Yeah, just Peyton.
You fell for it. Oh, I had one last, last question.
How awesome of a teammate was Blake Griffin? Because we love him. He's the best.
He's kind of our best friend. Us too.
Yeah. Why doesn't he still play basketball? I don't know.
We begged him to. We've been begging him to.
I'm begging him to. Come back to Boston, Blake.
Do you guys still continue to beg him? I text him actually a week or two jokingly, being like, coming back for one last ride. And what do you say? He says he's enjoying his life.
I kind of want to FaceTime him right now and make him come back to basketball. Yeah, quit enjoying your life, Blake.
But if I FaceTime him and he doesn't pick up, it would be disastrous for me. You should try.
I'll do one more question while you're doing that. If there was a button that you could press and you win an NBA championship, but someone somewhere in the world dies, but you don't know who.
Do you press that button?

I've seen this movie before.

Then they give that button to another person.

Yeah, you got to be wary about the button. I remember that movie.

I touched a vagina during that.

Yeah.

That was a joke.

Oh, he did pick up.

Hey, these guys miss you.

Why don't you keep playing basketball?

Is it because you can't dunk? Oh, man. No, I wish I hadn't picked up.
Come on. Peyton Pritchard said he texted you last week saying, come on back.
Yeah, yeah. We talked quite a bit.
I'm just enjoying life right now, guys. I told you.
It's a bad answer. All right, fine.
Well, we got to get you back on soon. The question was, how awesome is Blake Griffin as a teammate? And they said, the best.
Oh, nice. Yeah.
Appreciate that, guys. Yeah.
You're welcome. I'll demo you later.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, Blake, I got one more question for you. Do you guarantee the Boston Celtics win an NBA championship this year? I think, yeah, they're my favorites.
Okay. Okay, so yeah.
He said, yeah, we'll end the sentence after, yeah. I don't guarantee you.
I don't want to put bad juju on them, but yeah, they're the heavy favorites in my mind. Okay, so why don't you come back and win a ring? Oh, man.
Is it the not dunking thing? Because we can tell everyone you can still dunk. If you get that out there and enough people start tweeting about it, then maybe I'll come back.
All right, no problem. We will do that.
You can still dunk. All right, bye, Blake.
Thank you for picking up. All right.
Did you ever hear anybody yell at Blake like, congrats on winning Blake of the Year to him? All the time. Yeah, all the time.
Every game. Blake of the Year blank oh our fans are the best but they can sometimes take things too far we had that with max homa who yeah we had to get them to stop yelling at him homosexual no no pervert pervert you don't say anything pervert so that was our fault because we called him a parvert and everyone's like oh you're perfect no it didn't work out that way uh all right well derek peyton thank you so much best of luck rest of the season hopefully you guys win it all otherwise hank's gonna have to get that soul patch so right hank we got it oh if you do shaved head yeah yeah yeah all right thanks guys derek white and peyton pritchard were brought to you by Proper No.

Okay, we have two Monday readings. One is Memes sent us a story from Reddit.
I want to do that second. The first one I wanted to share with you, PFT, from the people that brought you Travis Kelsey inventing the fade.
We have a new phenomenon, thanks to Taylor Swift fans. It was a headline that reads, Taylor Swift fans drive new travel trend of gig tripping.
Okay. How does it work? Can I guess? You could take a guess, but you will be wrong.
Okay, so if you're a fan of Taylor Swift and you want to go see her perform in concert, but her concert is not in your hometown, then you would make a trip to go see her play her concert somewhere else. Kind of.
Okay. Gig tripping, this is from the article, gig tripping combines travel with music with people willing to merge vacation plans with a music event.
Okay. This has literally never been done.
I've never heard of this. So you take a vacation and your vacation is going to a different city and seeing a concert.
Correct. Now, am I, full disclosure, slightly triggered by this being a Grateful Dead and Fish fan? Maybe.
But gig tripping has been invented by Taylor Swift fans. According to Skyscanner, 44% of Americans are willing to fly short haul to see their favorite artists while 18 will go the extra mile with long haul flights and it goes on to say with kids and adults alike looking for swift tickets travel company travelmation is seeing an increase in gig tripping requests uh i just booked a family on a European trip built entirely around Taylor Swift.

This is literally what hippies have been doing for decades and decades and decades and decades.

Gig tripping is one of the hottest trends in travel, and much of it is thanks to Taylor Swift.

She's creating an industry, yeah.

Adam Duckworth, president and founder of Travelmation, said,

We have clients booking trips all over the world this year.

Gone are the days where people see their favorite artists at the local venue gone gone people don't do that anymore usually it was just if you're if your favorite band is playing within 20 miles from you you go otherwise never i have seen some of those clips of people on planes and they're all going to the taylor swift concert and that i would rather be on a plane with 75 maxes housing like what is 150 sodas.

I would much rather be on a plane like that than a plane of Taylor Swift. I'd rather be on a plane with the pilot as Flacco the Eagle.
Wow. Sorry.
Yeah. Apologies Flacco people.
They're willing to travel as far as necessary to experience these high energy shows. and it goes on and on and tells you how gig tripping is now

a thing thanks to Taylor Swift fans are traveling to see Taylor Swift multiple concerts never been done like I saw that she was performing but it's in a city that I don't live in there's got to be a way for us to get there I can't believe this is a real story that travelmation guy did was he he was he literally just woke up yesterday like he was born yes oh no no travelmation guy this is his business yeah he sells these trips and so he's like this is a great news story and then he found some reporter that need to fill copy yeah like i've got a great i got a scoop for you um my business is doing very well would you like to write about it it's a good scoop i I was reading this as the Arthur meme, just shaking my fist. Very mad.
Like, God damn it. She invented everything.
Well, no, Mincy actually invented gig tripping. That's true.
That's true. In two ways.
Yeah. Yes.
All right. Here's Monday reading number two.
This is from memes. Boyfriend 28 male keeps sneaking plastic food onto my 25 female plate okay so we've been i can already tell you i'm on the guy's side yeah so we've been together 14 months and he's a great partner overall he has a stable respectable career that he enjoys nutritionist he's very caring in most ways well i didn't even i i skim this the fact that he's a nutritionist makes it even funnier uh and he's doing this he's very caring in most ways we have similar goals for our lives but he's got an odd sense of humor sometimes especially about one particular thing he has access to a seemingly unlimited supply of plastic foods and he keeps sneaking them onto my plate at meals.
I saw the humor in it the first time.

Plastic. to a seemingly unlimited supply of plastic foods, and he keeps sneaking them onto my plate at meals.

I saw the humor in it the first time.

Plastic scoop of cottage cheese

replaced my real cottage cheese at breakfast,

but I have lost count of the number of times

he's played this prank on me.

There have been plastic turkey slices on a sandwich,

a plastic chicken tender coated in buffalo sauce at a restaurant. You sneak it onto her plate? This guy's awesome.
Even a plastic deviled egg. Swap at my friend's wedding.
Okay, so without seeing the plates of food, I kind of have to blame her. Yeah.
If you're this easily trickable, what are you a labrador retriever this is this is a trick that you could play in your dog quite successfully on your girlfriend who's what 25 years old 25 i'm questioning her eyesight the sandwich is the only one i'll have her back sandwiches you slip something in the sandwich that's kind of fucked up yep it would be yeah all right but i think the one that irritated me the most was when he wrapped a real banana skin around a plastic banana and put it back with the rest of the bunch on my counter. He says he just means it as a little joke when I've asked him to stop, but I'm getting paranoid when I eat with him.
What if he takes it too far and I choke on a fake cheese cube? The weirdest thing is, I don't know where he gets these. As I've seen his bank statements, there's no indicator he indicator he's buying them himself okay so what you're going to want to do is go deeper into his bank statements and don't look for like prank things that he's purchasing at like a joke store the man has a 3d printer yeah he bought it i think he bought a 3d printer just to fuck with you not only that but you kind of said it at the beginning he's a nutritionist isn't he probably making videos where he's like this is what you shouldn't eat he might be but if it's plastic again with a banana he put a fake banana in a real peel and you saw it and you were like oh this looks like yeah this is i agree with you it's got to be you got to pay more attention to your food also i'm a i like this guy because he he knows the art of comedy he knows that that it's funny the first time.
Then it's not funny for a really, really long time. But it will get funny again.
It gets funnier the less funny that it gets. But he's still doing it.
Yeah, and it makes him laugh. Isn't that like, what are you going to stop him from finding joy? I really think he got a 3D printer and he's's just printing up fruit all day long.
Hey. Which is awesome.
He could be printing guns. Yeah, it's true.
So he's just, this is actually a good thing. Is it illegal for guys to have hobbies anymore? No, I mean, apparently it is.
Apparently it is. I wouldn't do that with Hank, except for weed.
This guy rocks. Give him a bunch of fake nugs.
We could get Hank. Hank would just power through a fake chicken tender.
Yeah, Hank doesn't pay attention. By the way, we tested some new stuff for Pardon My Cheese Steak.
You had to leave Pieta to do your stream, but we have some new menu items that are going to come out. They're going to be incredible.
One of them was a buffalo chicken tender sub. It had zero heat.
No, it's hot. No, I tried all these things.
Hank cried. Yeah.
He was like, it's so hot. It was not spicy at all.
And I had to tell the chef, I was like, he cannot be the person who decides whether something's spicy. It was a perfectly normal buffalo sauce.
Yeah. Perfect.
Hot. Too hot.
My mouth is still recovering. Still recovering.
How was golf today what'd you guys shoot we had we played golf today yeah how'd you shoot yeah no shot in february in chicago yeah but how'd you guys play golf today so what was the scores shot shot a shot shot another shot after hundreds oh yeah jake what were the scores 99 for me 105 for hank 113 for pft okay that's how it was a tough day i had like four good shots that's fine i came to the realization today that um like i used to hate water on a golf course now i like water because at least it's not trees yeah when you hit into the trees then that's that might as well be a three-stroke penalty you gotta go for it you just gotta just drop it yeah like found it they also shut off the water fountains oh yeah. Oh, yeah, because it's February.
