And we got Zach and memes back from San Antonio. It's going to be a great show and it's brought to you by our friends at Chevy, our AWLs, know that Chevy Silverado is the official truck apart in my take. That's because Silverado is a truck with grit that shows up every time, built a hall toe and take a beating, but smartware accounts with modern tech that makes life easier.

home and gear tackling home projects and doing the work that never stops because the grind

doesn't take breaks and neither does Silverado check out the current offers and build your Silverado at Chevy.com. Okay, let's go! Welcome to part of my take presented by draft kings. The crown is yours. Today is Monday, June 15th, and the New York Nix are NBA champions. Congrats. memes, Zach. They were in San Antonio on Saturday night. We're going to talk about all of that. The New York Nix though complete an incredible

run. They lost three total games in these playoffs. Two of them by one point to the Atlanta Hawks, one by four points to San Antonio Spurs, Jalen Bronson, the NBA finals MVP much deserved. A team that was just pretty awesome, big moment after big moment down all the time, heart of a champion and they I mean incredible performance like they just that was a that was a

thrilling five game series but also kind of never doubt because the Nix were just better and tougher

in the big moments and the spurs didn't have that. Yeah, I mean the crazy part about this series was the comeback and every single game at the next one. This was from the ESPN analytics. So the spurs had a 91% chance of winning game one midway through the third quarter. They were up 13 points.

They had a 99 point 6% chance of winning game four, up 20 points with 933 left in the fourth, and then a 95 point 4% chance of winning game five, up 10 points with 754 left in the fourth. And the weird thing was in this last game when the Nix went down, they were down 15 early. It really did feel like the Nix had them where they wanted them. Yeah, I know it's it's cliche to say that, but as I was watching, I was like, oh, this is playing out perfectly for the

Nix and it's a testament just how gritty they are, how well coach they are. They've got a special team and goddamn if that wasn't the best offensive rebound I've ever seen Mitchell Robinson on that free throw. It was just man handling Wimbie. Wimbie's going to come back next year. Hey, Wimbie don't don't go to a monastery. Maybe this officer just go hang out at like a golden caral. Yeah, put on like 60 pounds, because Mitchell Robinson just ate him up. Hey,

ran out of gas and just wanted it more. I want to talk about the spurs, but we got it. We got to give the Nix all their flowers and talk to you guys about what Saturday night was like I can say to Antonio, but Jalen Bronson in the in the close out game to score almost half of the points for New York next year. He had 45 that one possession where he broke Wimbie down and got to the

“rim and it just that was the difference. I know that the Nix as a team like I think cat broke the plus”

minus record and a playoff run OG, you know, the tip in, McCail bridges, Josh Hart never seen

rebound. He didn't think he'd get the whole team was incredible. But Jalen Bronson as like the closer guy who when when shit gets tough, you just know he's going to be able to get to the basket. You know he's going to be able to make plays complete ice in his vein. He's a winner. He want a high school championship. He wanted a college championship. He wanted an NBA title. He's a winner through and through and yeah, he deserves it. And listen, I was I was definitely in the

cap of like having a small guard. It's it's going to be tough to win a title. The Nix deserve all the credit in terms of the roster construction, putting just incredible wings around Jalen Bronson and being like, hey, we can play team defense. Then when Jalen Bronson needs to be the clutch, the the

“most clutch player, the best player in the world in the fourth quarter. He can do it. I think he broke”

the record for most fourth quarter points in a playoff run. I think it was I think he's one AI is two in that finals run and then MJ is three and people are saying like in terms of road close out games. This is like 98 Jordan like like having you know when Pippin's hurt and like having to score more than half of your team's points and having to basically be your entire offense. He was that good.

He deserves all the credit in the world. It's an incredible story and he's I have this question

because I haven't seen anyone talk about this or ask this question. Is he the best Nick of all time? Oh yeah, I don't think anyone's broken that. I don't think anyone's actually asked that question. So let us be the first to ask it. I think he's the best he's the best little Nick of all time. The tired wired debate is tired is Jalen Bronson the best Nick of all time wired is Jalen Bronson the best free agent of all time. I would actually take it one step forward. I'd say is Jalen Bronson

“the best New Yorker of all time. Did you see the mean that Stu Finer sent me this weekend?”

He'd think he sent it to everyone. I don't know if you guys like this. I tweeted it out and then I saw you tweeted out right after me because he was so funny that he just sent us the uh with the the cropped meme with the the volume. The volume up. It's the New York city's six families, Gambino, Genevieve, Bonano, Luchezie, Colombo, and Bronsini. Yeah. That's it. He's the six family New York. I think you know there's all the other statue talk is going on right now. We're jumping to the statue.

Do we want the Jalen Bronson statue? Do we want the entire starting five statue? Who do we want on the statue? My idea was New York should just make a giant Jalen Bronson jersey. Like I'm talking 200 feet. Don't talk about number 11. And put it on the statue liberty. Hang it from her. And then replace the torch with the basketball. Yeah. Yeah. I like that a lot. It's it's just crazy. I mean then you were saying it with the analytics stuff. But it's as simple as

the next had the number one three and fifth biggest comeback wins in NBA final history. Yeah. In this finals. One three and five in one single finals. It's it was cool to see New York just go crazy.

Two point about cat. He's the first center in the history of the NBA that shot 40% or sorry 50%

40% and 90% for the shooting splits in an entire championship run. He was awesome. I mean I know he got thought he was in foul trouble the last two games. But it doesn't really matter that you can point to the

running offense through him, may having him be a distributor and like them taking off. And I had the Hawks were their last serious, you know, that was the last serious sweat. They were down two one to the Atlantic Hawks. CJ McCollum might be the second best player in the NBA. It really is it is one of the funnest championship teams I can remember watching since like Detroit Pistons. In terms of just like everybody buying in. Yeah. And you've got you've got obviously your stars

Josh Hart incredible gritty performance, Mitch Robinson incredible gritty performance.

Grant theft Alvarado, incredible gritty performance. All of them literally sham it. I know he got hurt at the end and he, you know, didn't have like the same. But there was that stretch where the Landry shamit was just the best shooter in the world. Did you see James Gollan had asked the team before to to hold off on coming during the playoff run? Maybe that work. Don't come. Yeah. Don't come. Here's a crazy stat. The spurs led for 72% of the finals.

Think about that. That's crazy. The spurs led for 72% they lost four games to one. Yeah. What was the quote? One B. Again, we're going to get to the spurs. I will defend when be a little bit on the quote where he said like we dominate. What was the exact quote? Was it like we dominated the most of the series or something? If you watch the clip and not and don't just read the quote, that was, yeah, he said we absolutely dominated for most of the series.

I have some criticism from when becoming. This actual quote is such a big case of a guy's

second language. Because you could see in his response, he was kind of struggling to figure out

exactly how he wanted to say it. And his bigger point was not that they dominated and they should

“have won the series. He was like, we dominated for most of the series yet we still lost. That's how”

bad we were in the other points. Yeah, which is true. They did dominate for most of the series. But their other points at the, like, the closing time was so atrocious that that's why you lost the series. I also, I know there's people who, uh, Hank, who will say that the spurs are the biggest choke artists. And that was like a choke. I, they're definitely is something to be said for Jalen Bronson in this New York next team. The way they came back, not just in this series, but

in the Cavs series. And last year, memes taught us that the Celtics taught them how to, how to come back in games. Like, yes, is there a part of it that the spurs are too young and they choke? Sure, the nicks are also winners. Like, that's, I think that supersedes any choking is that the nicks are a team that is unflappable when, when the minutes get crunched and you're in, like, these must win, must pocket situations. Like, those are the, a team that has that DNA is going to win.

“And that's what the next half. And there was, I mean, there was definitely moments like the,”

the, the one B pass was a choke. The, the last night, or Saturday night, the, I think it was, I can't remember who was, was it's Seth Castle who Bronson missed the fade away on the, uh, on the baseline spurs basically had the rebound go off them. And, and I think it was Castle who's foot was out of bounds in the battle. That, yeah, the cell and his, his foot was out of bounds. Like, how are you fucking doing that? You've finally got to stop and that happens. There's also a choke. There's also

really missing the free throws. Yeah, he didn't want to be there. Those are, those are choke moments for sure. He was gasped. But yeah, this, this, this memes, we've gone too long without asking you. You are officially a winner. Officially in winner. Uh, I just want to congratulate all the other next fans out there. Wow. And especially the Met, Jet, Nick, Islander fans under the 140, you are finally a champion. Okay. Congrats to you. Here you go. Whoever you may be. Wait,

memes don't include you. That would include me. That was the first one. That's the first one I ever seen. And it was, it was so worth it. This was just the greatest run ever. And being at that game last night, just Jalen Bronton would just turn into Michael Jordan. Yeah. Every, every other person on that floor was so bad. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't a terrible offense. Wasn't a great game. That was the first one. Yeah. But yeah, Jalen Bronton, for him to do this and have this game

in a close out game in the NBA finals. Like, as if there was even a question where he would go

“down in terms of, like, New York, Nick, lower. Like, that's what an awesome way to finish it out.”

Also, the next never never faced elimination. Like, that champion, if you're a champion and you never

had to play in a elimination game and you were 4-0 and close out games, that's super impressive. Well, I guess we will never know if he has the clutch to you. Yeah. Because he never had his backing into a wall. Yeah. What are you thinking about, memes? No, that's a good point. What will

a game seven, we'll find out. It was the layup when they were, they cut the lead to six.

“We all, all the next fans just turned around, looked at each other. They said he's about to”

win. When he broke Wemby down. No, I was right before it. Yeah. It's Johnson had to use the time out. Everyone just looked at each other and said it's about that. Yeah. So, I want to hear about about what you guys saw at the game. Like, walk me through it. When you get to San Antonio, what was the vibe like on the way to the game? Well, can I just know Jack real quick, so I got some, I Steven Shea was the third in this group,

which is maybe my favorite trio. And I want you guys to tell us everything, but I just wanted to set the stage that Steven Shea did. I asked for a little bit of details from his perspective. And he said that as a group, maybe a little bit go towards the introvert, no alphas in the group, and that it was very difficult to make decisions at the beginning of the day because no one wanted to step on each other's toes. Yeah. I guess what he said that finally, by Saturday night,

they kind of figured it out and had a good group communication wise. I'll cut in there. We still never

figured that part. I just looked at you guys. So, and guys all not wanting to make any decision. Everything we tried to do, Steven Shea would suggest something. I'd be like, I'll do whatever you guys want to do. And then we'd look at Zach and be like, yeah, I'm in. You guys are just kind of floating. There's a lot of exciting things. Everything took 15 minutes to figure out. It's like, whichever way most people are walking, we're just going to go there. Okay, start at the beginning,

though. So, Zach, the outfit, the travel outfit that you packed. Yes, sir. The shorts. Yeah, I didn't really have to show you such a point of contention on the shorts. I thought those were a good move for a plane. You know, you get the sweat pant material, so you're comfortable. And then they're not pants. So, they're still breathable. And we're going to like a warm climate. I thought it was like a good move. They just looked at big shorts. They looked like jinko shorts.

They're definitely big shorts, sir. Zach, what'd you, because you guys had a 7 a.m flight. And there was, there was nervousness that you were going to maybe miss it because you responded to a text at 11 30 at night on Friday night. So, everyone was like, oh, he's up to late. What did you eat at 6 a.m.? Breakfast. I got a, of course, one Lunchable. Mm-hmm. That's good. 6 a.m. Meal. The dunk in line was

“pretty long. I was going over here. Yeah, just double up on lunch early. I mean, I think that's a,”

no, I know. I'm saying that's a great. That's a solid start to the day. I would enjoy the championship start to the day. It was the hand. I do prefer the turkey, the turkey over the hand, but the ham still good. So, the, the fact that Che was so, so confident going into this game. I know you guys were probably a little bit more nervous than Che, at least originally, being around him. Did you guys get more confident before the game? I was already pretty confident.

We were going to, we were going to win. But he, he doesn't really talk like that. You know, like, he, he'll just, he'll do it on the act. But yeah, he won't, he, he's not that confident when he just talk and do it regularly. No, he, and he, but he, he said he was like next in five, he said that two weeks ago. And so he, he felt it, he bet it, he felt it. What, uh, what happened on the plane? There was an alarm that went off that maybe scared some people?

Uh, yeah, that was a mistake. I said a bunch for the, to wake up because, you know, a big day, we're going to really have been trying to work on that. I've been doing, been doing okay with that. Uh, and I just had one down the list. You know, when you scroll and you said them all, one way down the list caught me caught a hanger. I was up at a, went too far down that list. Yeah, caught a hanger at the end. I was able to address it pretty quickly. A few hours too late. So,

it was, it was so loud that one guy just screamed, we're going down. That guy was being, I see where he's coming from. He didn't think we're really going down. He's joking. Yeah, it's my fault to, to put that kind of noise in his ears, but he just kept saying it afterwards. And I was like, well, now we're doing, now we're doing boy who cried wolf on the plane. Well, now he's the jerk. Yeah. He double jerked me. Yeah.

But that did turn off pretty quickly. It was just like, he was like, I would just like to apologize to everybody. So that was good. Do they clap for you? No, plans are not someone to play around with. I don't take that lightly at all. I completely understand that. So you guys land. And you have a few hours before game time. You have San Antonio is known for its Mexican food, great Mexican food. You land in San Antonio. You get a bunch of recommendations from the AWS I assume. Where'd you end up,

what Mexican joint did you guys end up eating at? So we did, we're deciding between Mexican and barbecue. We decided to go to Mexican. We took two steps outside of our hotel and we went to Margaritaville. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Respect. The Mexican. Yeah. Margaritaville is

listen, people laugh at it. Margaritaville is delicious. Jimmy Buffett never told a line his life.

Never did anything bad. As far as I'm concerned, the man was a saint. And the Margaritaville restaurants

“are no exception to that. What did you guys chose? Right. What did you guys get for entrés?”

Steven Chase said they have the best nachos, they are pretty good. So you got those. I got the cheeseburger paradise. Smart. Yep. And then I ran like an appetizer trio. Nice.

All right. So then you go, you're going to the game. You guys assume you get in the game early. Like vibes or what was the percentage of the next fence? It did look like 50/50.

Well, we ate so much we had to nap first. Oh, okay. Listen. That's NBA players do that.

They nap before the game. We had to. Then we did show up at like six o'clock. We were sitting right next to the inside NBA. That was pretty cool. Steven Jay kept trying to get selfies with Shad. That was very fun. Yeah. Larry O'Brien. That was a lot of fun. But it was just a lot of

“lot of sitting around. It's six o'clock somewhere. That's what they say. So a lot of sitting around.”

And then what are you going to say, Zach? As soon as we got into the arena it was there was a next chance of going on. Yeah. The ratio was very a 10% away from a home game. 10% away from a home game. It was unreal. Did you see any any of the celebs there? You see Shalomai? I saw Billy Baldwin after the game. Oh, that's right. Yeah. That's it. He lost her. I thought it was everybody knows Billy Baldwin. Yeah. You say hi. Yeah, I would just say it in the next one.

He wasn't he was a court side. He was, but that was one that's one of us. It's knocked down.

Oh, all right. So the game starts. I just told you that when they were down 15, I thought the mix like this is the perfect spot for him. Where you guys nervous when they went down. When they were down 16, I was nervous. I was like, all right, this is just going to be a loss. I generally thought that just because the bench had zero points. Everybody was playing so bad. The offense looks so broken. And it just didn't look, didn't look right. And then they cut it to five. And then that's

“whenever we're just like, all right, we've been in the spot a million times. Right. And at five,”

you were like, we got this. We got this. The guy next to us also just he was hammered and just kept saying, we got this. We've been in this position. We're down by. We heard it one thousand times. So, so you win. What what's going on? I mean, you guys stayed in the arena assumed for a while

for the trophy presentation. It's got to be one of the coolest things. We'll see your team

at a game lifting the trophy. You're a winner. And you got to be there for it. So I stayed up top and they went down. I just want to take it in. I was a little surprised. There was no confetti. I thought there was going to be a confetti, no confetti. But it was just really cool. Every everyone stormed down. And it was just, it was just really cool. Yeah. And so, um, were there serious? I cried. Is that because you cried? Uh, I'd not cry. No. Yeah. They were just

smiling. I'm, I'm a cryer. That's probably like the overload of estrogen from the nipples. But, mm-hmm. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Yeah. I cried. What, what do you do? No. Fuck it. Dude. Absolutely no shame. And I saw the pictures that I can chase. Like the smiles were as wide as you could possibly get. It was unreal feeling. Absolutely unreal. You know, once a lifetime opportunity in the building like that was crazy. Yeah. Yeah. They do the trophy presentation. They go to go off the MVP

channels on the stage. They're bringing over the families and everything. So like you just see the full scope of like what this moment really means to them. And like, I don't just seen a real time in a super special man. Yeah. I also just want to call out that you guys are dealing with all this. Maybe what, you know, it might be the most magical sports night of your entire life. And memes still had the presence of mine being a good friend that he is to text happy birthday Hank.

Yeah. That was right. Right in the middle of the celebration, which I thought was awesome. Yeah. You became a winner on Hank's birthday. Well, I forgot to text them the morning of. Yeah. Right. Right. I just had to make sure before the day. Yeah. And that was the best time because it was like memes has so many other things that he could be doing right now. He just won a championship and for you to think in that moment to text Hank and be thinking of somebody else.

Hey, shout out Hank. I thought that was really nice. Yeah, Hank's nice enough. He says have a birthday to me on my birthday. So I have to reciprocate that feeling. Yeah. All right. So you

“guys leave the arena and you almost got mugged by a group of people with baseball bats?”

No. So it took us like an hour with the Savannah and Anna's playing because Steven said that there was guys walking around with baseball. The Warriors. There were a few guys who got beat up with bats and then the cops were kind of like, hey, if you guys go back up top because it's like a river walk and there's like an elephant, like the street, the street level, you could hear that like the street level wasn't the safest spot. There's a lot going on. And at a certain point, these two guys walk past

us and like, yeah, the police are just saying, if we go up there, there's something to help you. Like, so don't go up there. Pretty much. Zach is right. The spurs hands are just trying to get their gap back from all the videos that were going viral. Yeah. But like, there was really like if you were wearing a next jersey, don't go street level. Steven told me that there was a moment where there was like a bunch of guys with baseball bats standing on a bridge and you guys,

they were looking one way and you guys were able to run behind them the other way? Yeah. It was essentially like a video game. We walked. There was like hundreds. If not thousands of spurs fans facing the one direction. Yeah. So we all looked at each other and said,

Like a golden eye with the guards and like, look, don't wake daddy. Yeah. There's one

“drunk eye under the bridge and just goes, are you guys next fans? And we're like, nope. And we're”

sure. Kept walk. All it would have taken was one person to be like, hey, there's next fans. And we would have just been sprinting down the river. I love that. I love that. I love that. I love the video game. Like the analogy there that they're all locked in on some. So as long as you don't make a noise. And then if they all come at you, there's a barrel. So just shoot that barrel. Yeah. I'll explode. It sounds silly. But almost like we had a tiptoe. It's like, wait, they can't

look this way. Like this can't really be what's going on right now. But we got, we got to just get past not swiftly quickly. And I guess, stealthily. And what's the site I heard about memes they threw a bottle and you got cut? Yeah, we walked, we walked by a bar and it's a two, two story bar. They saw we were in blue. Said that we said we're next fans, see something splash in the

water. And we're like, what the fuck was that? Then second bottle comes in, smashes on the ground,

goes into my leg. I'm fine. It was a scratch. But scar. Yeah, they threw like three or four

“bottles. And honestly, it was a good throw. Yeah, it was from this thing. It was a pretty good shot.”

Yeah, that's got no eggs. They were agging people, there was eggs. Like it spurs fans just had flags outside their car, just honking and like throwing eggs at people. But nobody tried to flip through eggs and you'd be like Henry Lockwood since his record. No. No. Couple guys did say it. But then they weren't weaponized. They said it. Like, oh, you know, watch out for the eggs. And then no eggs, though. They said mentioned Hank by name, one guy in the arena did.

But he did it. Like, he didn't do it as like, foot shoulder or like he wasn't on a myth. He, there was no world he had an impocket. He was kind of saying it like lightheartedly. Like, hey, right, you know. Yeah, it would be a shame if you guys got egg. Yes, that was cool.

All right. So, I mean, sounds like an incredible night. The only other story I got from Jay that I wanted to

bring up was, well, Zach, you, you met a lady who wanted to go on a date with you this morning. And you, you, you, you, you go center. Well, uh, I, I talked to her kind of like in passing like, we talked about probably three, four minutes, one, two long. We're maybe going to do brunch. I just stayed up way too late watching, watching highlights. So then we'd go to brunch. Okay. And then the other one was Zach, uh, there was an attractive lady in the lobby. And memes and Jay were going

up. And apparently Zach went up to talk to the attractive lady. And then from across the, the lobby, a guy yelled out, hey, that's my girl. And Zach just sprinted away. I didn't sprint, but like, oh, sorry, scurried. Scurried away. I probably did scurried. Oh, right. Okay. There's a lot of the tensions were high yesterday. Okay. Hey, that's my career. I asked about getting more of it. I wouldn't sure what was going on.

Yeah, I was staying loaded with one of the, like, hey, there's another bar around. We're trying to see if we go get some drinks because everything closed at two, which we weren't super aware of. And she's like, yeah, we could do this. We're trying, she's like, we're trying to figure out the same thing. I was like, okay. And then this guy that was already sitting with two women like across, like what essentially I guess is like a breakfast. Anyway, who told I was about seeing like a

breakfast little spot? He like shout out, hey, that's my girl. And he was always sitting with women.

So I didn't think he's been serious. I thought maybe we were friends. And then he said it again. And I just pivoted, walked to elevators. And he's like, I know you could hear me. And then I just instantly just started scanning the key. Yeah. And I went, I went to the, I went to the hotel room. Oh, man. I didn't confront him whatsoever. Yeah. I swiftly elevated. And yeah, I mean, the whole, the whole night, it was the next, listen, I know there's some people don't like New York City.

“I don't know how you could hate this actual team. If you want to say anything about the fans,”

it's fine. The team, like even, even Mike Brown doing the corny who let the dogs out was funny. Like, I made me laugh. It was ridiculous. We're going to save me. I got, I got to tell the Steven Chase, Scott Foster story. Oh, okay. So we're leaving for the game. We see Scott Foster staying in our hotel. Steven Chase walks up to him and try to get a picture. Instead, just slap some on the back and just says, go make New York proud. Oh, Steven is the freak who would like recognize Scott Foster

just walking in street clothes for sure. What a night. What a great night. Yeah. Congrats. I'm so glad that you guys got that. It really is, it's special that you guys were there. Yeah, absolutely unbelievable. I can't say thank you to everyone involved enough on real day. Shout out to Tick Pick. Shout out to Tick Pick. Huge shout to Tick Pick. I, I'm, I'm indebted to Tick Pick. And you guys for the rest of my life. Shout out to sex virtual. Yeah. Yeah, especially for the happen on 613. I know what 613.

Hakes birthday. That's right. No, the day the next one. Oh, yeah. The day memes became a winner. memes the only one who's who's officially checked off his, his New York's resolution. Yeah, first

started the sample. Yeah, yeah. Hank, you haven't really said much. Yeah, I know you talk a lot in

“these episodes. And you know, you're a big basketball guy. And I know you've got a lot of thoughts”

about the New York next in New York sports and general and your friends, Zach and memes. So what's going on that head? I'd like to start by saying the trying to like hold it over my head that they want to memberate as a 30 now 33 year old male. I don't care about my birthday. Right. My, my birthday does not mean anything. What about 40th birthday? They want to, my birthday that hurts because it was like, I don't, I don't care. It's just another day. It's not even your birthday. It's not me. It's who cares.

Congrats to the next day or the better team. Are they won? They won the most games. Oh, are you going Kenny Hackens and on? Let me like it was like it was like it was, you know,

and like you said second language, like it was the quote reading the quote is like that's such a

loser thing to say. But it was so true that it was a five game series. The spurs could have won

“all five games easily and it lost four to one. So it's a championship. It's frustrating. It was”

frustrating to watch. But at least in game five, I knew I didn't even like get excited because it was even though they were up in that fourth quarter. There was zero doubt in my mind that the next we're going to win that game. When we miss free throws, they, you know, Taren Fox was still just he thought he was the guy again taking terror. Like not even terrible shots. They were just missing. They missed open shots. Missing layups. Zero clutch gene. And yeah, congrats to the

to memes in Zach and New York. Wow. And I can tell that you don't care that was on your birthday because it's the first thing that you brought up was how you don't care. Well, no, I just know that's the thing that you guys are trying to do. No, we're not going to keep trying until we bring up. Six or five memes day. Also your birthday. Sure. Well, it was your birthday. You didn't even know when my birthday was it, and it doesn't matter. You don't have a birthday anymore. Right. So I'm

never going to forget your birthday because it's actually just memes day. That's fine. Are you nervous

that memes is now a winner and you're a loser? No, but if we're doing a one of you done for me lately scenario just this year, we're just talking 20 to 26. Your loser memes is a winner. Is that a statement of fact that you guys are losers too? I agree. No, no, listen. In fact, that's fine. But you and memes have a special rivalry hatred for each other. Yeah. He's Jason Tatum, Torres Achilles, he came back. They still, they still made the playoffs. They,

you know, it's going to be a fun end of the end of the decade. Oh, okay. So get it. Yeah. It's sure. Well, it's it's one one. It's one one. Yeah. I mean, I did think that memes brought up a good point when he said that the Celtics kind of taught the nicks how to become champion. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I don't really understand like the like what this has to do with me with this has to do with the Celtics, the nicks beat the sixers. And yet somehow it's like Mr. Bingbong Jerry talks about me.

memes talks about me. It's like no, memes. There's other, there's other rivals on the end. I can't have it birthday. That was it. In this series. Teams have to, you know, it takes experience in the NBA more so than other leagues, I think. And what they did against the Celtics last year, I do think had a direct impact on what they were able to do in the playoffs this year. Yeah. Good for them. They won. They won the NBA championship. But you also said they kind of did it. I didn't. Well,

you were like, yeah, they didn't. They could easily lost all five of those games. That's it. There's not a factor fiction. They weren't the best team. Maybe it's also because you just kept on saying how much you hated at like all this going down. And we're very, you like, this is going to suck amount on when we hate the spurs. I can't believe they did this to me. I didn't, I did not say I can't believe they did this to me. Okay. Well, all right, sorry that you didn't say exactly that

that may have been worse in the round corner three. I'm sick. You're sick. Yeah, it was, it was

“it was a brutal series, but it's over. So let's golf. You have to at least love Josh Hart. I did love”

that. That was an incredible. I did love that quote. Like that was just you. That was a hat tip. Yeah,

and nothing nothing but respect for for that quote. Josh Hart just said he, after or this morning, he tweeted, he was like, now like the only thing left to do is golf on him to get the exact one. Because it's just so it's so perfect. Now we play golf. Just got to figure out where to get a golf membership in New York. I bought some motion. Tough city to get a golf membership too. I wonder if he's going to get caught in any courses. I think he's going to be like, here in Chicago Obama has a

locker at every single course. Yeah. Just so they can say like, yeah, Fibamba shows up. He's, he's a member here technically. That's in New York. He's going to have a membership at every

they're about to have like one of the best celebrations of all time. Being like college boys,

you went to school together. You're probably party a lot played a lot of beer pung back in the day to the celebration after winning an NBA championship together with your college buddies has got to be the drunkest week ever. Yeah. They're going to have an absolute blast getting after it. Yeah. And like I know people will talk about there were some bad videos in the past two weeks with the next events. It's actually really funny to look back and be like the next lost one

game of consequence and they all lost like they could not handle the losing game three. But in terms of overall, like I saw so many videos that were heartwarming, awesome,

“streets just alive in New York. People singing chanting like, that's what happens 53 years.”

I saw a crazy stat. The time between this championship, June 13th and the last championship

the next winning in 1973 was a longer amount of time than the next winning their first championship

in 1970 and Babe Ruth's first game as a Yankee. That's wild. Yeah. It's a long time. 53 years. That's a full two generations. I don't even know how generations work. But yeah, it's a long time. It's a long past time. And much like heart had one request, Jalen Brunson's request was he wants to be on an episode of SVU. Yeah. Which is that's an awesome request to have shout out you. Also kind of weird energy by his dad to say that Patrick Ewing still the best Nick. That was kind of weird.

I think he was just trying to get Jalen Brunson focused on next season. Yeah, just bust his balls a little bit. Yeah, just get him to get him lock back in. Yeah, it's not true. It's just objectively not true right now. Kachel and Brunson won a title. Yeah. And he did it. And like, yeah, that that free agency's free agent signing changed the course of the next franchise. It really did. Like he and I know they had to do other pieces. And again, Leon Rose deserves so much credit because every piece that they did,

every every move they made along the way, they got chastised like the quality of the talent. So they got chastised for that. The Kale Bridges, everyone's like that's too many picks came up, but they built a perfect team around Jalen Brunson and his strengths with elite guards,

“a stretch center and cat and, you know, an absolute dog and Josh Hart and that's what you get”

an unbelievable championship. So much like we're having to debate on whether or not Jill and Brunson greatest Nick of all time, which I look forward to hearing that for the next six months. Oh, yeah. Does this also mean Nico Harrison worst general manager of all time? Oh, yeah. Some of you, some mention. Oh, yeah. I think for his legacy, it's got it. You got to be one one now. Was he, was he the GM when Brunson walked? I don't know if he was, but there's Nico Harrison

fights back about this and says it was more Cuban. Got it. That's right. Well, that's not what say, too. It's not what's Nico Harrison. I knew there was a little something, but yeah, they had both those guys pretty insane to think about. And Jalen Brunson just a winner at all. He's done. I mean, is the max is the villain over team. The 2016 2018 is that three-year stretch, the best college team of all time. Now they have an NBA title, too. I mean, it's the only college basketball team that

have two national championships and an NBA finals. Right. And there was only one college basketball team to beat them in the tournament. That's pretty crazy. That's probably the best team of all time. What team was that? That was the 2017 Wisconsin back. We don't count. Yeah. Actually,

“I think it's my wins wherever I get them back. Would J, right? We're the only ones who stop them.”

How come they didn't win free? They just dominated the NBA. Yeah. They had the biggest margin of victory. I believe in the history of the NBA playoffs. How come J, right, couldn't win three championships? Badger's got the way. Yeah, badger's got the way. And we sang Luigi this weekend. Yeah, man, Gianna. Everything's coming up. Everything's coming up, cats. Everything's coming up. Hank, so are you? I know you just wasn't your your favorite

sporting event to watch. Are you going to, how long is it going to take you to get over this? Are you already over it? You already moved on. Because memes will be reminding you that he's a winner. Yeah. I mean, it is what it is. It's it's probably till, you know, the season starts next year. Because then they can be like that's the past of the past. Is there a part that you can say all summer? Deep down in place you don't want to

talk about is there is there a part of you that's like, what if everything's just flipped? No. Okay. How concerned would you be if like week one of the. Listen, you guys don't win

shit. So you'll never say it. Don't ask the question. I don't ask the question. I don't know. We

don't know to myself. Hank, you're living the past. Okay. I've got a shame. It's it's all flip. Hank, it's that. It's you can't take it away. Can't take it away. Yeah. Maybe like one of the just win the

the three Super Bowls after parties I got to go to like I will no matter what, even if you have to

go to work, we never win anything. I will have memories that you can't take away. Right. So yeah,

there's one chance. But you can't be scared. Like that's that's I'm not scared. If it happens, it happens. But like I'm not worried. I'm not going to be like, oh, I'm scared that everything's flipped. I would say, well, no, I would say one way to find out. Deep down in places you don't want to talk about. No. Like deep deep down late night. You wake up at two in the morning to take a piss and in the back of your idea, like fuck, what if it flipped? No, because

memes have you thought about the roots of the jazz? What if it's? I have thought about that. What if it

“flipped? Dude, at living next life would be sick. What if it flipped? What if the whole thing flipped?”

Well, I am a winner. I think you're officially a winner. Very much qualified winner.

Hank, what would you think if week one of the NFL season you woke up and the jets went by 50 and then you lose to the seahawks by 50. At that point, we talked about dual 50 burgers, dual 50 burgers. Yeah, at the dual 50 burgers. Yeah. That would be like maybe there's a glitch in the major. Okay. One more small points. That would require the jets to do a 50 burger. One more small point of order. You did say that you do soggy sorrows. Did I?

It's the next one. When did I say that? You said that you do soggy sorrows. Do tell me when. I don't remember a few weeks ago. Did he say he would? I recall him saying anyone else. I want to say yes but I can't. Why would I say that? Because you didn't think the next we're gonna win, duh. I just don't remember saying that. Like if you say one of the boots

“remember him saying it? I don't it doesn't make any sense for me. I think I can see you saying”

you'll do soggy sorrows. I mean like that doesn't make any sense. What? What? Meaps. You just said somebody's got to say something. I don't recall. I don't recall. That means what were you getting it? What was somebody's got to say something? Somebody's got to back up heafteaks. I don't remember. I don't remember. I don't remember if he did or not. I don't remember. Yeah. I'm gonna say he did. I'm gonna say he did. I'm gonna back up heafteaks. You know what? I think doesn't have to do it.

Yeah. You know what you did? No, you know what? It happened on his birthday. Was it? Was it like hey if the next win at all? I'll do soggy sorrows. Was someone like that? Oh yeah. That actually sounds like the quote. Now that you say I don't remember the quote. Yeah. I think we were doing the podcast. Yeah. Yeah. I'll do soggy sorrows. Yes. Good call. Do you want me to do soggy sorrows? I want to know what you said it. I don't think he said either. I was trying to just

“try to gaslight you and I think maybe he did say it. I'll do it. Max, I didn't say that. You're making”

that part up. You're doing that real quick. Wait, wait, wait. I do have a question for Hank though. In all seriousness. In all seriousness, Hank. Is New York the team? That's the one that then winning a championship affects you deeply on a level that no other city. If they had one, would affect you on? Oh, I think the Cleveland was tough. Sixers would have been bad. Sixers would have been worse. Yeah. Like I don't think that this is as low as I can get. I mean it's fun. I feel like

I mean you guys were here like the city of Cleveland wanted to kill me in 2016. Yeah. I did. I did. I don't want to see any like any team from the east, but yeah, those specifically the next sixers now the wizards. Yeah. Well, that's right. Why did the city of Cleveland want to kill you? I just talked a lot of shit on that entire run and just said it was a trash city and the fans are losers. So when they won, it was they was I got a lot of a lot of mean things were said to me.

That was the beginning of this podcast and I realized kind of the the reach that we had because of the death threats and things that were being said to me. Of what I thought were like offhanded comments about just like the city of Cleveland being a joke. Yeah. You still believe this? Yeah, I mean it was more liberal on like that's again like that's where I was like I was talking about liberal on and then and also the city. Yeah, and then they put the city still you still think

but actually we're not realizing that Hank would never have realized that he hates the city of

Cleveland if it wasn't for the Brown. I mean really Cleveland is a city like it's it's it's it's fine I won I won live there. So I think it'd probably be filly number one like filly

wouldn't be a championship you'd be down way worse than the next, right?

Probably probably equivalent like I would be rooting hard for them against them every single game and then it would suck to watch them win. Yeah. Yeah.

“I forgot about how much you should on Cleveland back of the day. Okay.”

of I assume the NBA finals uh hold on for achieving open I don't have it all right here we go winners dads who coach their kids with brownson okay yeah I was just going to say the entire uh like the uh the fundamentally sound New York Nick's hustling um dads across America are probably like hey yunkster yeah this is how you play basketball yeah uh short chubby guys you can do it Mark Cuban said brownson was chubby draft war room okay cat nobody will remember his two point

MPX winning uh win horse has a quote winning a championship means you never have to apologize that's

that's true mm and then Scotty Barnes Max future faceless like Scotty Barnes Wemby not for sure the future faceless like so could be skyburns yeah losers uh monks yeah about time tough tough behavior from a monk about time we knocked those losers down a peg

“uh I think this one I actually he I put in his head but Rutgers because the fact they didn't”

make the tournament with Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey is still insane and it's crazy hospitality people getting jumped no handshake line which we'll talk about in a second and then this one I completely agree with the New York debts they they honestly should just move that should be the

to try state area mm that is going to want to root for the net no absolutely not how are they going like how how are they going to sell season tickets no he was buying those tickets no it built a super team and got stopped by COVID twice mm they try to be they did twice remember we broke her off they got they got kg and pop ears yeah but they were so old I know but they've done it like they've done the all in here are guys twice do times if it wasn't for that for Kevin Durant's foot yeah

for just as little toe who knows what happens with that same I feel yeah I feel awful for imagine being in that span like living in Brooklyn last night I saw yeah there are you I guarantee if you're in that span living in Britain you probably just got swept up yeah you probably were just like

you know what I'm never going to win one yeah there was a video there was going to be from fort green

which is like like half mile from where the nets from life yeah yeah that's just going nuts yeah you just have I mean Frank congratulations Frank Fleming oh man I don't champion I don't know what you

“do you just you have to I think I honestly think the the league should look at making the nets”

either the vagus team of the sox yeah they tried they tried to come into New York and they tried to take over or go back to New Jersey it just it last night was it should have been either the last straw for that franchise I call them the New York nuts the second to go to the Brooklyn nuts yeah because they forgot it's no big ears yeah it's like insane yeah they can't even they they they even know their own role they're like we're just asking for one bird also what a terrible name

for a team too yeah the nets they gotta go back to they just gotta go back to they gotta go back

to Jersey like at Jersey they at least they have yeah that was the thing it's like the devil devil's fans right like there's right you know they can at least get fans away from the Rangers and Islanders just like hey we live in Jersey Jersey Pride you got to do it got to get back the spurs let's talk about them uh whenby tough tough finals oh do you mean do you mean victim Wimbledon yama oh yeah that was gonna be by who's back skip alice fucking still got it

great job skip we can still got it victim Wimbledon yama just when you think the guy might you know the game might have passed him by he comes out there and just drops a bomb like that it's perfect on on Wimbledon the way that he uh he carried himself in the press conference after the games the

exact quote was victim Wimbledon yama the alien has a lot of earthling tendencies hmm yeah without a

great can I say not a great series for Wimbledon yama in terms of clutch moments in terms of maybe pushing shoving flop and whatever you want to say there's one thing that I I will push back on I don't give a fuck about the handshake line when the other team is celebrating their title I understand it was a difference like he didn't actively like it wasn't a piston situation where he walked off while there was still time on the on the clock I if I just won the MB title

I'm not going to look to shake the hands of the loser like that one I had no problem with they're celebrating yeah like yes he should you know he should have done he should have given credit to the next in the post game I don't think he did that but in terms of like stopping to try to find the guys as they're dogpiling on each other and having this moment that's a little awkward I don't really think that that that that that that one doesn't bother me down yeah like interrupting the

dogpiling your referee and football right pulling guys off the pile right I want to shake your hand yeah I mean obviously in hockey it's the greatest traditional sports that's fact the post daily

“cup handshake line doesn't get a suite in that I think that Wimbledon is just a bad loser which is fine”

and I don't mean it like that's certainly as a knock against him because there's a lot of guys who are great competitors that are bad losers hmm and I think Wimbledon might be one of those guys he did say I mean we we talked about one of the quotes where he was making it seem like maybe they were the better team but he did say I was not ready to win a ring that's obvious in terms of desire to do well intensity and effort we were at the good level I was at a good level but

experience it's mistakes we don't lack talent we don't like ability we just make too many mistakes and I make too many mistakes he's right yeah he's 100% right I think that like it's gonna get overblown because he did kind of sound like a jerk after a few of these games and he didn't have like any humility after losses in which he played a pretty big part of you know he was bad why the last time he's definitely the reason why they were there right but he's also the

reason why they lost and he did not really seem to take a whole lot of accountability after some losses and so people are listen to him and they're turning on him which I get I just think he's a

“bad loser I think he hates losing and I think he's still gonna be great and he's gonna come”

back stronger and he's just gonna be you know a force in the league for a long time but this this series it didn't it didn't him no favors it would have been better for him to lose to the

about the thunder the spurs play a very aggressive handsy style of basketball as well refreshing people were were were kind of sick of Darren Fox was so so abysmal I don't even like he might have to just come out and say that he needs like some crazy surgery after this because and and the fact that he was just still in the games and shooting and I know they tried to they they started playing Harpermore Steph Castle kind of faded at the end I still feel highly on

him but like overall this is why you don't see teams of the NBA winning when they're just so

“young like you have to lose before you win that's just the history of the NBA I know I've talked”

about it a million times but the reason why I have is because it's the truth you can't there

there are few and far between there's maybe a couple spots in NBA history where you can point to and be like yeah that team was just all you like even magic people like oh magic one is first year we had creed like having a team that has not been through the wars trying to figure out how to win these like when we said it after after the Western Conference final he celebrated a little too much closing out games having gas in the tank learning how to like keep that energy

to a good level you saw Jalen Branson I Jalen Branson did not change his facial expression for two months he was the same guy for two months straight and that's what it takes to win a

title and the next went through it and lost the last few years to get to this point where they

would do what it took to get over on top of the mountain so yeah I don't I think the spurs I think we all freak out like someone pointed out and it was good I can't remember I'm sorry some treat it but

“like the whole Mitch Johnson thing as well do you remember in 2011 it was I believe 2011 yeah”

Eric Spolisher was said to be like the worst coach ever when when when when when the heat loss of the maps in the finals and then what do you do you got better and he ended up being one of the best coaches in the NBA I think Mitch Johnson had a bad series I don't think Mitch Johnson's going to have another bad series here and I mean like he's going to learn and get better just like when

be just like Harper just like castle all these guys just maybe maybe get someone who can be a backup

center and give you meaningful minutes because Luke Cornet that was rough to watch I don't think he's ever held on to a ball before but yeah the spurs are going to be fine overall it isn't interesting that after the game you've got guys talking about Dylan Harper being upset with playing time and you've got guys that are that are talking about like it certainly seems like there were some efforts to possibly play Dylan Harper more but then there was the understanding that that's really

going to piss off Fox yeah and then you're pretty much having to give up on Fox yeah if you start to

“bench him which oh no which you should you might you might want to do that yeah it might not be a bad”

thing to do it you're trying to win an NBA title I think I think like Harper and Castle together are awesome yeah they're really really strong duo and adding Wimby getting stronger hopefully a little bit flatter for another offseason and the spurs will be great they'll be back Hank you're officially out on Wimby Choker can't win the big one done I mean I think they're going to have to get they're going to have to get a whole a new look team like they got to get rid of Fox which is tough because it's going

to contract yeah there's three guys in the NBA making more money than him next year Jason Tadam SJ and Kevin Booker that's it each and I just don't like I like he played so bad sorry that's $2.920 there are 30 so they have demons like the players on that team young yeah they made to the finals yeah that game they're going to be seeing ghosts like that's going to haunt them I that's going to haunt them in the playoffs for years to come I don't think everyone just assumes you know we

talk to them shall ask you oh it's not how many titles the thunder going to win it's you know are they going to be the greatest team of all time they're not back and when it's assumes one is going to be back I think that performance in the finals is going to haunt him and them for more than people give it credit for well I the thunder is an inch I mean the thunder I think the injuries I think thunder if they were fully healthy probably would have beaten the spurs and that

might have stopped us from having this conversation about the spurs like embarrassing themselves in the NBA finals because they would have probably been taken down by a more veteran team which that's what happened when they hit it when they played the next I think they'll be fine though I don't think that I mean it's a true test of what if Wemby's going to be one of the all-time greats like will this haunt him or will he just get better I think he's going to get better and I think that

the team is going to be yeah they're obviously going to make some changes no team stays the same

I I I realize the levels he's got a new team new coach true true Mitch Johnson stanks

“but you do remember that was sure did he blow three of the biggest I mean it's an NBA”

finals history three of five I am not defending him in this series he was horrific in this series I'm just saying it would be smart for the spurs to be like hey let's see if he can grow from this and not just be like hey the young team with the young coach we got to change everything I would run it back if I were the spurs maybe not with the iron fox but again you don't know how how how do you do that yeah I guess a lot there's a lot that we don't know about what goes on behind the scenes

but I would I think that they they choked away utterly choked away at least three games yeah like completely blew it and again in game management and also in terms of just brain farts in big moments just like really really stupid shit that you don't see out of smart teams at win but again I go back to just the next the next the next being in that position where they're they capitalize on it I keep just as much credit to the next as I like I'm not going to say the

disperse choke this series and the part of winning is being good at the end of the games yeah

“I think that yeah there's three games that only the spurs could have lost that also only the”

next could have taken advantage of right right it's like he was pretty shocked it's all perfect storm yeah yeah okay any other last thoughts on the NBA finals great season memes Zach you guys are winners champion winner winners now you're going to go back to back sure I feel like you say anything once you want to get on yep right there's only one scene they can go back to back now Zach what does this mean for mellow's legacy I'm still

processed and everything okay well I'd like it answer on what it means for mellow's let's see I was going to run the superhero just confirm superhero so did you see mellow said like I think there was a quote that he was like yelling out orders uh during the comeback game with me like he was on the baseline let me see that or like that coaching him up is like almost like verbal uh facilitating this recommendation yeah does um does winning a championship like this

and actually experiencing top of the line joy with an awesome fun entertaining team that was just fucking dominant does that make you look back at all it like uh linsean and to be like what the fuck worried why don't we go some crazy back then oh yeah this I think this is like one one like

how to win a championship like like where we all basically the the dumbest people in the world

when Kevin Knox had one good summer league game he was a he was good in that summer was actually it was more than one game but yeah it is funny to think back and I'm not I'm not saying you that's every fan yeah yeah everywhere but it is funny to look back and be like oh shit that's this is what good basketball looks yep all that other stuff that we thought just really bad yeah but

“but and that's what you do as a sports fan you delude yourself into thinking that no matter you know”

like one one small stretch of something out of the ordinary is like that's what the rest of your life is gonna be like and maybe we we'd we'd figure something out and then when you actually do have that success later you realize oh yeah this set this looks absolutely nothing like that two weeks stretch that I thought that same how it was going to be a Super Bowl win in quarterback oh this is good Stu finally said about Wemby's quote we absolutely dominated for most of

the series he said he's absolutely right now get down on your knees with your shine box and make sure our trophy's spotless for our parade Thursday douchebag. Wemby on his knees is taller than Stu way way taller way taller still could not polish Stu's shoes he'd have to be laying down on his belly it is so funny how fast like Wemby became such a villain it was instant and I like it yeah it's this and this is a great series for the NBA yeah

we got great storyline the trophy was on the court we love that it did feel special felt really

special is Wemby confirmed playing next year oh oh because he said see you never so you never

never feels like maybe forever for a long time yeah could you be in a temple permanently yeah like East Ventura yeah maybe maybe comes back with like a monk son prodigy I didn't even think about that but you might be right mm yeah okay that would actually dad kickass if the spurs got rid of fox and then they just had a dude in like a robe on the bench next to Wemby at all times or if they got rid of fox because they're like we need someone better and then Wemby's like

and Brandon Busy the the night's got busied big time busied they got a busied busied the the the the entire series basically flipped when Anderson got his bell rung on that was a game three and like oh yeah this goal either we're about to put in his better than everyone else and it just

I it was incredible Stanley Cup final we had like four or five games that were just

“peak the hockey just craziness intensity come back skulls over time I I don't remember”

Stanley Cup final where I like I was so convinced that the nights were the vastly superior team well for the first three games no then what happened was the third period of game three happened yeah and we said like if the if the hurricanes if they win this it's over it turns out it was over because the nights just gave up that massive lead yeah at that moment I feel like the hurricanes were like okay we can do this and the nights the but whole tight the little bit yeah and then it was just

all kinds from that point on but dominant dominance similar to the to the next dominant dominant run from the hurricanes they lost three games as well right yeah today I think they went sweep sweep five games six games so yeah good for Jordan stall too yeah I mean they were and also good for hurricanes fans they they they were kind of the joke of the league not not in they like terrible team way but like a joke of league in that every year and get to the conference final then get

absolutely smashed and no one took them seriously and then they just got on this dominant dominant

“run and bussy you have to wonder like what does the series look like a bussy never comes into it”

also what does the series look like if the if Carter heart maybe gets bench at some point also yeah what is what do our lives look like with no bussy I can't even remember what it was like before bussy no I'm I'm sad that all the playoffs are over though that it is a little Hank it's a little sad it is sad I told me for a game seven I was too it would have been nice to have a game seven but the nights are just not like I felt like the hurricanes dominated that series

like I said from from that third period on even the lost that third game they were just the better team overall so yeah congrats to her kids and Jordan Stahl is I believe the oldest cons might trophy winner in the history of the HL he deserves it so good for him and then Rob Brenda Moore to do it as a player as a coach pretty cool yeah pretty cool moment for for her against fans and know that they are Duke basketball fans for the most part no there's a UNC I'm

willing to overlook that and say congratulations against fans UNC and Z state I bet you there's a lot of NC state yeah probably yeah cuz roll it yeah I can deal with that it's actually probably not a lot of Duke because Duke's a lot of out of state okay well for the Duke fans yeah we talk you guys yeah I'm willing I'm willing to be the bigger man but if you are Duke fan just know I'm a little bit less happy for you also I feel like Duke like true true Duke

douchebag fans they they're only sport is Duke basketball there is no others the brotherhood do you know I mean it's a sport it's life yeah yeah or it's Yankees likeers Duke yeah it's

“right I think Duke basketball fans also tend to enjoy the fact that all the players on the”

team like have to go to class and they have to take take test and shit it's like I like I like to only cheer for good students yeah not much for pro sports man myself that's pretty pretty sick

cup is always so fucking sick yeah Brad Brinn and more the 2006 has 20 years ago yeah

captaining the hurricanes 2006 then coaching the hurricanes in 2020 to a six pretty damn awesome and I love that he's always got the little little peppy little pew and his hair yeah it's good yeah little skull and soul and pepper okay what do you guys what what's we talk about next we talk about uh world cup we talk some cup we talk some cup we talk some cup we're the best team ever I believe I believe that I believe that we might be good I believe we might be good listen I don't

care if paragray stinks they don't yeah I don't but I'm saying I don't even care if you if someone say hey you know paragray actually stinks I don't give a fuck we would be in every single team in the world on Friday night that was the best I've ever seen US soccer play in any game ever it was

it was it was incredible it was a fun brand of soccer um they're calling it the pochitino pentagon

that's that midfield I listen I was I've been skeptical pochitino because I've been let astray many times by by whoever's the coach of the US uh depenagon was sick depenagon was great so it was really sad depenagon is Pulicit Balagan McKinney Tilman and Tyler Adams dude Balagan just dominating the middle of the field and then with desk making the runs down the outside

on Saturday morning and I came away even more impressed when I rewatched it I'm not saying we're

“going to win the world cup because there's a lot of good teams there's a lot of teams out there”

that are better than we could but the way that we played yeah Friday we could beat any team in the world if we played like that yeah that's not saying we can do it eight games in a row but we can beat any team in the world if we played that style that much pressure I like I loved at the very beginning on the kickoff we just sent it down the field out of bounds because we said fuck you we're gonna press on you guys in your own end and that was the most impressive thing I thought like

if we lost the ball in the attacking third we would just swarm and and counterpress back and more times not win the ball back though the pressure was just it was suffocating it was an

awesome brand of football ball balligan is a striker that we've never had before a guy that can

absolutely finish and he is just his dynamic up front I'm so glad that he chose to come back home to the United States because he was like oh maybe I'll go to Nigeria maybe I'll be England whatever so glad we got that guy back I mean the fact that the the reason why we have them in the first

“places that his mom was too pregnant to fly yeah she was too fat to fly yep I think she showed up”

to the airport and then like no you can't we're too pregnant to fly she didn't live in America then she had to stay give birth that's awesome yeah I remember when you do that more often I remember when we we had him when we like the US national team made the announcement that we got balligan because I think it was on the same day that there was a little oopsie from one NBA player in Memphis and we said that's balligan those those are two of drama dance favorite things and that

was an amazing day for US soccer to get him and Pulitzich is just I think he's healthy we put him

in half time I think it was just like a precautionary thing that the way that we have him creating in space connecting with balligan is going to be tough for any team to defend they're that good like where where what you saw it's not a fluke because Paraguay I believe they gave up the few schools in South American qualifying last year so even though they didn't finish at the top South America it was like Argentina and then everybody else grouped up together they had the best

defense in South America and listen will this some of this look bad yeah but this is what I just want to roof for an exciting team and I saw this that in six of the the US has been in 11 world cups in six of the 11 that we've been in we've scored less than four goals in the entire tournament that we've been in yep we scored four goals on Friday night and we just want goals and we could have had more yeah and we could have had a lot more we were being nice to them I

made a list of the top five US soccer performances that I've ever seen in my entire life how many are ties none of them are ties whoa not even the one against Portugal none of them are ties that was six top top how many are lost top we'll get to one of them's a lot we'll get to that I know which was a top five top five US soccer performances of all time in my lifetime minsteem number five dose a zero in the 2002 world cup when we beat Mexico as dose a zero uno that was the first

one and that was in the knockout stage that was awesome number four the one nothing lost to Brazil in 1994 the knockout stage on the 4th of July number three and Brazil would go on to become World Cup Champions out year number three the one nothing lost to Germany in 2002 so which we actually should have tied but it's a handball that didn't call on the box but it pulls it number two the two nothing went over Spain in 2009 and the Confederations Cup semi final

there were the number one team in the world we beat them we go to the final we were up to nothing against Brazil at halftime then Billy Mays died and then everything fell apart and Brazil scored three goals on us in the second half that makes sense and then number one

was the game against Paraguay in the world cup I've never seen the US look that good at soccer

and it was it was awesome to see I loved every second of it the defense looked amazing Chris Richards was probably the best defender on the field and then also Tim Riem had a great game of those old and he slow he still played really really good so now we get Australia and the soccer rules and no problem we're so good we're so fucking good at soccer they're fast Australia's fast or defense is not also georena had had a sick ass goal at the very end

“that was cool to see I'm just going to enjoy being cocky for a week I believe I believe this team”

we don't have a week now that we have a four one in our back pocket yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna be cocky about it it was an awesome game it was I we don't like to play the ratings game but I think it did draw more more eyeballs in the United States than any game in the NBA finals which is pretty crazy whoa Hank did you watch the game no how's the concert how's the concert

I'll I'll tune into some soccer this week okay did you watch into highlights the game no

“you should watch highlight to phone can I pitch you on something we were really good can I”

pitch you on something soccer we play a real team all tune in okay soccer has decided that they're going to do quarters now except they're just pretending that it's not quarters they call them hydration breaks even though I think it was like 75 degrees in LA and indoor stadium yeah they're doing quarters now so kind of night you can go take a piss break they just found a way to get more ads in our face it sucks yeah they just so fucking stupid told us there's gonna be

hydration and they keep running the clock which I yeah whatever they do hydration and then it cuts to three commercials every time yeah it's crazy also who's back the week linen down of its hair looks incredible it does yeah it's all natural they run the clock yes hybrid it's three minutes it's the stupidest part of soccer dumbish shit ever back the referee keeps track on his own

“little personal watch down in the field so there's no official clock max so they just add an extra like”

it's always an extra three after time yeah how stupid is that just fucking call time out

give give the kids some more slices and Oreos and let them get back out there take well you do me fair will you commit to watching 10 minutes of highlights from this game just tell me 10 minutes why don't you cover the let's go to soccer bar for out a mm he's got he's got he's got to see let me show you a video he's got a see this weekend but I will not be in Chicago hey I'm telling you I agree with you for the most part that soccer can be very boring sport and very frustrating

watch this team is not boring this team is fucking awesome the Japan Netherlands game was awesome yeah let's there's some really cool games this week there there were there were some there's some fun game world cup is the best I listen I'm not the biggest soccer fan if you can't get in on the world cup you got you just you're just not sports fan I love the rivalry we got Scotland fans versus the son mm they did they were not ready for the United States son uh Lexi Lollis versus Latin and

Terry on the funny thing about Lexi Lollis versus the world yeah Lexi Lollis his ego is what people think's Latin's ego is and then's Latin's like why are you saying this you're not Latin you're not allowed to think like this only me and then oh I love Japan the Japanese fans they were in Dallas they weren't Jerry's world today they were playing against Netherlands they they bring their own trash bags into the game so they can clean up the stadium after the games over mm they I also saw

the one Japanese fan that uh so so we talked about the Germany fans who listen whatever what

everything about the viral tweets of them being like hey here's a gas station this is incredible

instant 5,000 reachweets by the way I have no ill will towards those those kids they basically realized within the first two days of being in US that through Elon Musk paying people on Twitter they can basically pay for their entire software by just going to waffle house and hitting send tweet yeah I did like though the Japanese guys you guys see the Japanese guy who uh filled up on ships yeah chips and chipped himself to death mm that's funny I mean listen I chip myself that's all

time so this was what he said he said it was a tweet from this Japanese guy said USA a Mexican restaurant we had not yet ordered anything and the food was already arriving chips salsa unrequested free I stopped the waiter we have not earned these they just come with the table man they come with the table in my land hospitality is a debt every gift creates an obligation weighed carefully returned in the proper season with interest of feeling here the gift arrives before you have even proven

you can pay for your dinner there's not an appetizer there's a declaration we trust you eat I ate with the gravity the moment deserved and then I must report this calmly the basket emptied and a new one appeared did we refill the waiter said it's bottomless bottomless they have wells of salsa

“the supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors have imagined I think it's obviously”

a little fake but I don't give a fuck cuz this is we all chip ourselves does to death and then my friend warned me don't fill up on chips dude to late I had accepted three baskets honored demanded each one be finished and unfinished gift is insult by the time my actual food arrives I was a ruined man yeah listen we understand chip bottomless chips in salsa and I still chip myself to death all the time I do love all these people coming and and see and how awesome I like the sweetest check that was like

covered our eyes we're like oh shit oh shit yeah I'm sure if we had sound on Joe Rogo be like that's not in yeah Joe Rogo's tie by the way is he ever had one that was a Merrill Hodge

“tie preposterous it was it was the Merrill Hodge tie which is you have you have to tie it up so”

high to get the big knot that you want yeah that you have no choice but to have the shortest tie it didn't even be clear as bellybutt and Joe Rogo is not how do I put that he's um is about my height yeah so that tie was very short very short very short tie Hank you're who's back of the week who's back of the week is Jackass yes they have a new movie coming out in theaters I feel like

fucking best remember when they they put their dicks inside like little puppets so it looked like mice and then they put the mice into a snake pit into the snake bit their penis that was the best move the giant hand that was so good yeah it was good okay sorry my his back at the week James Harden James Harden is back got arrested on Saturday on a charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon in a motor vehicle according to the Harris County District Clerk's office in the

this mean unlawful carrying of a weapon in a motor vehicle I looked into it he had a gun that he's

allowed to have basically there's really no gun that you can't have in Texas uh he just didn't

have it in a holster in the car oh and so they arrested him for that and apparently the cops do that if they're just like if you're being a dick or if there's a reason why they want to take you in maybe they suspect you or something else okay and they see that you don't you don't have

“it in a holster dull arrest you for that very hard to make that that charge stick yeah um so I think”

James Harden I'm gonna say free James Harden okay I don't think I don't think that of all things that you can be mad at James Harden for this is like probably 50th on the list yeah every every playoff game that he's had is worse than him carrying a gun without a holster in his car listen

I'm gonna go basically fully off of what you just pulled me and none of my own research uh I

agree free James Harden and Hank agreed to do saggy sars free James Harden yeah both those things happen what do you think about James Harden? free James Harden I guess he goes to jail will you do saggy sars yeah okay yeah wait he was held on a hundred dollar bond so they were just trying to they were trying to humiliate him yeah they're trying to embarrass the man yeah it was just sitting out it was just how to gun out it was a naked gun he had a naked gun in his car basically

the stripper of guns was in his car and had no clothes and they arrested for it because they're haters

“yeah that's what I'm gonna say the Harris County police are haters okay my who's back the week”

I've two uh first is Kentucky sports radio we are hosting Kentucky sports radio on Tuesday tomorrow please listen we do this I think we've done it eight out of the last nine years our good friend Matt Jones Kentucky sports radio he goes on vacation in the summer he lets us host for a day it's very fun we also please we want to talk to real Kentucky sports radio callers so let those people call in we will run the best Kentucky sports radio calls on Wednesday

on the black like you get how are you supposed to hit that he threw a 15 strikeout

Maddox and a Maddox is under a hundred pitches complete game he never got to a three ball count

he gave a one hit to Kyle Schwab route one hit all game he had 15 k's he had 26 uh swing and misses he is in the last eight starts he's seven and oh point one seven ERA of the top ten fastest pitches this year how many do you think he's throw all of them he threw a hundred and four hundred five miles an hour I think of like the fact the fact 50 fastest recorded pitches ever by a starting pitch I think he has like 45 of them listen and I I hate the birds but

one thing that I I can't stand is and and people doing this like wow he's gonna get hurt fuck off dude he's like this is insane what we're watching just enjoy it you don't have to wish injury on a guy no he's awesome insane he is remember when he made he made the all star game and everybody's like why are we putting this kind of it's literally yeah yeah remember who complained it was the Philadelphia Phillies yeah well that's the show that you got shoved

he he he pitched in four games yeah but he's good yeah listen very good yes but that is not that is not what an all star is what is an all star someone who's like displayed something throughout the entire season not someone who just got called up that happens to be very good but if like that good but it's about like what you have done in the first half of the season not what you have

“done in the last month but since he's I have a yes see that's what yeah but since he's I get it”

he did not deserve to be an all star last year yeah I stand by that the pitches and say I have an uncomfortable conversation starter I'd like to ask real quick the yeah I mean it's it's it's not 0.71 0.17 ERA that's just put your hands up and be like what we're witnessing something that's just insane insane 80 strikeouts in this last eight starts um is this

Paul schemes like what do you do if you're Paul schemes right now I mean that was the quickest

Jacob is Rowski is the most electric arm in baseball it's not it's not close right now I just yeah Paul schemes is an absolute stud I was making the equation which has argument two weeks ago and it's like right it's miserable I was like it's a miserable I was like it's a miserable Rowski this is unheard of what he's doing right now who do you think should have won nationally player the month and may max well Christian percentage I did win yeah they didn't give

a run but would you would you would you trade that for the all star game last year what would you trade that in L player the month for the all star game last year I don't care if this one of them is I yeah would you you cared a lot I I currently do not care sure okay I don't care wait Max that came on Friday night when Jacob is Rowski through a complete game did you guys get a hit yep all right great not a no hitter shout out shoreber there you go see how easy that is

you ask me a question I answered right I know I'm and I'm telling you that's not a matter for the record Max doesn't care you guys did not get no hit on Friday night nope didn't I feel like a problem dude he's a problem how you feeling about the fight and we got to we got to pick up a right hand bat we are only right hand bat just went down today trade traders got to pick it up

“that's what I think about the fills right now let me talk about clapping for there's going to”

need to be some clapping because he has like the worst OPS in baseball right now no no that's got some cuts yeah I have a few if you on that list guys want guys wants Suzuki say yeah yeah all Philly's Twitter is is asking for him he's he tweaked his knee today I think so which was bound to happen having to play right field every day Zach go ahead but yeah Jacob is Rowski like if you are if you're a casual baseball fan if you're not someone who's tuned in like it's it's

insane what he's doing right now and again I fucking hate the bruise but even I have to be like tip my hat like I don't even know what to say it's so it's so ridiculous watching some of these pitches in the speed and and his numbers in the last eight starts are just out of this world he's given up one run in eight start he's given up one run since May 1st stupid that's stupid okay Zach finish off my who's back the week this week is uh people with uh Puerto Rican descent in their

heritage because I did what uh what a lot fans did last night I was falling a lot of the guys after they won I saw uh Josever auto ended up with a Puerto Rican day parade and it just looked like an

“absolute blast oh yeah I think we got to have more parades more reasons to celebrate because it just”

looks so much fun yeah food festivities floats I mean look like great day and everything any other parades you want to send this month uh why we need they're gonna have the uh and eggs are gonna have parade is what that would be so you see guys you have the other parades you guys what are the parades you think of in June uh pride parade oh yeah I got the pride parade

price sick never been to one shout out to shout out to those parades um all parades yeah those are

like super inclusive parades shout to those uh the Mexican independence parade in Chicago that you would like that Zach it's it's crazy mm-hmm are you allowed to go as a uh yeah you could just to help celebrate right there's no like mm-hmm I'd have checked it out hangouts they don't have like a yeah there's no color wheel they look at and they're like hey fair Zach also is back the week and then you're I do have a good you go and then I have a one oh my that would check

how you off there oh oh so the other one is just uh the Japanese fans because I thought it was sick they're helping to put up the arena yeah and James um James Walt James got in there with the back

“and they're using the celebrate and they're using a cleanup I think it's a beautiful thing I love”

that bringing the bags yeah filly fanciety that just just for their own puke it's good call yeah yeah I guess if you had the puke it would be nice do it a bag mm-hmm Zach who's back the week the Great Lakes you guys were all the way right about the Great Lakes we're talking about it so hopefully right for you don't know Zach has lived in Chicago for 13 months now and I didn't realize this because we went and did a fishing competition uh a week and a half ago but I

didn't realize two days before that we went to the Madden Premier event at Navy Pier

that was the first time you had seen Lake Michigan like Lake Michigan I so our team months that was

the first time you'd seen Lake Michigan I think I saw a piece of the lake when we went to that golf course no that was after it we did when we were to sure acres you saw we walked out and saw it no no no we did a golf video like a year ago I think it was like a head to head match up

from a distance like he saw it you could like hear the lake but you couldn't really see it by the way and I I know people there'll be people memes remember when memes tried to basically take down Zach's entire life that was crazy yeah two weeks ago that was for saying I was nuts sometimes you guys you guys know you guys won the table you mean you could you at least admit you overreacted yeah okay but anyway great went memes for the for the for the the memes when he's angry people

the world to be like exact putting on a bit right now it is not because memes you could

“test this when we went to I took you in Zach to Cubs Metz in I believe it was like late April”

and Zach had never been to rig leave though Zach doesn't affect an inside guy I'm pretty

open about being in the house a lot yeah yeah I think there's a lot of other guys who are also kind of inside most of you never seen the lake you live like four miles from Lake let way less in that but what direction does your window face like compass wise I'm not sure actually if you know because the the sun I get early sunlight so I have to be facing dessert you know face the lake you live three miles from Lake yeah everything's super relevant really close I am on foot

guy a lot so I wouldn't have I'm not usually busing out of quick three yeah I did see the river what the route the river to the river shake I've been there a couple times now but yeah the scale of the lake and even here once you see the green all the way around you don't really know how big it is what the map there you could have just said this is an ocean yeah you could take

some of their blindfold and their walk them there it's an ocean you guys were always right about

the scale of the lake and how sick it is calm great for a reason and so I was I was being a hater I was early hater when I found out about the lake why would you hate on the lake because people were saying there was beaches too and then I googled the beaches and it's they're parking lots not all that some have sent I know now for a couple years ago maybe that was last year right yeah can that was awesome yeah shut the lake I'm gonna recommend you you try looking

east at some point from your apartment maybe see some of that water it does it this time of year it looks like almost tropical depends on the time of the day I got no water from viewpoint I

“would have seen I think I would have seen I I looked at the window my desk faces the window a lot”

Bingbong Hank oh man I feel like you're not happy to see Jerry

no well maybe not happy to see mr. Bingbong but Jerry's here Jerry congratulations one to night

what a series how you feel incredible I feel you know I gotta tell you first of all

to hear like Hank and mr. port noise appreciate everything that he does they're hatred for this like watching all of mr. port noise posts on ex about like the city burning down and like celebro and all of them oh well no but he owns like I appreciate all he does well you're really salty today it's unreal genuinely curious I've never seen you so angry like the inside I like it I like anger Hank he's back finally we finally got something out of them oh this is proof of life this is so exciting

finally um to see all there like hatred of all of this it's really I'm not gonna say it's the best part because that would be too hatred or even act like they live rent free in my head it is so fun to watch them just melt down to just feel the negative energy just just vibrating off of Hank right

and it never happens yeah it never happens it now does June 13 will live forever it is

“a lot of teams have won championships June 13 I think this is a lot of a lot of bulls”

change there there it is it is a very common end of the NBA regular season like very very crown of champion yeah except for 2020 yeah you know just to let you know I'm not that much of a hater I I wasn't even I I know I did a video for Hank's birthday thanks for quote yeah quote tweeting it let me move closer you have there was like wait for him wow Twitter like that video if you watch that video it just scroll till like the craziest porn bots I've ever seen

like I did something about that video got like in the album yeah in the album three it is so

exciting what a run it's a historical run yeah it really is and um it's a run it's a historical run

you've got to admit that postseason wasn't sane if you bet the nicks money line and they were

“underdogs for I mean for every spurs game they were an underdog were they not they were favorites”

couple falls yes they were but they were during the games yeah we're down double digits ever again I got to tell you I know this is a gambling podcast and if anyone has a problem they should call 1 800 gambler but can you imagine if you just hammered that money line every time they were down by over 20 points over 15 someone did the math I saw it was if you bet $100 the first time they were down and he did that every single time they were down at their lowest point you would

1 24 million this is what's so insane this is what's so insane watching that game for a

go to a bar in Los Angeles it's called 33 taps there's a group of people called left post nicks it's so much fun it's thousands of nicks fans there was not a doubt in anyone's minds that they could come back in this game I know that's insane to say but we all thought it when we were watching it and and I have to say um like a personal story about something that happened with it I'm so pleased to say this nicks post season run has made my daughters my vapid southern california

daughters who are surrounded by lakeers fans surrounded by lakeers fans this run has made them their 17 nicks fans for life they would go to parties and they'd be the only people rooting for the nicks because their dad is from New York and they know their dad is in San Antonio watching the game and all that stuff and my daughter called me up this morning and was like hey we went out we watched the game that was so crazy they were down by 15 and my daughter plays volleyball pretty

pretty competitively and she said dad how did they keep winning from behind so much and I said I'm not kidding guys because it all comes back to part of my take I said Charlie that's her name I said they have grit they have grit it's like in that game for when when when when Brunson went into the huddle he said hey guys smart basketball that this is we can do this and if there's just it's when they when they're down by more than double digits is when they start to really play

we haven't seen and I'm I'm actually gonna praise Hank a little bit I mean red socks being down three out of the Yankees and whatever year that was oh three oh two whatever or oh four you know twenty eight three I mean this is they have grit yeah it's and it's and my daughter because my daughters I'm volleyball teams that just they lose they lose they lose they lose and I was like hey honey when you're down by six points and all your girlfriends like look at each other and you're like

about we're just like we're not gonna win this and that's it let's just let's just play this out they don't do that that's when they say all right we can win this thing and she said how do they do it and I went if I had the answer to that I would be Phil Jackson or I would be Phil Bellachek you're welcome Hank I'm trying to make you feel better it it just it's it's this team has that magic that we live lifetimes for in sports this team has that magic is chill Brunson it's not just

chill no I don't say but Jalen Brunson is what starts it it's everyone believes because Jalen

“Brunson believes and I think everyone falls like follows something like that but let me just say”

something else about this team everyone stepped up yeah I haven't had moments yeah yeah no I'm not saying I'm not saying I'm not saying obviously had moments who's the upper right now yeah moments I'm not saying that Jalen Brunson I'm saying Jalen Brunson is revamped yes you're trying to grab it Jalen Brunson has like a singular belief that I think is infectious to everyone else where it becomes a culture of oh yeah

enjoying it I got a question for Jared if we when we look back on this 30 years from now and you know

“we look back on some of the old championships and we remember certain teams because of how they”

won the things that they did to win I feel like this New York next team will be one of the teams

that we look back on and we think of first we think of this era basketball just because of the

crazy comebacks that they had because the storylines surrounding it in New York with a fan base it hasn't won forever killing people and I feel like this would be the one like one of them I'm not standing on am I right we look back on 2020's basketball yeah and we might think about the New York next first oh yeah let me tell you what's really different about this team because I don't know probably not a prisoner in the moment like not that's not just because of just happened I was talking

Jared I said Jerry I got a question he wasn't talking to you I guess you might not pick come on I mean let's have a day you know let me tell you the most interesting thing because I don't know much about the business side of like basketball but I know that the the GM or the president is a former agent of heroes yeah and I know that that golden state run was run by a former agent too right

“so I think this is going to be the the beginning of we're going to start to see sports agents”

start to run it's a little bit I think they know things that about money and about all that stuff also a lot of people were shockingly on roses white hey a lot of people saying that Hank Hank I got to get you yeah Hank I got to give you some props uh um Tom Brady took a pay cut to make sure he was surrounded by talent yeah obviously Jalen Brunson did the same thing I don't personally know of anyone else in the NBA who's doing what Jalen Brunson is doing

um I hope this becomes I hope for everyone's fan basis sake this becomes a uh a habit because man it feels good well he he bet on himself too because I think I would imagine the amount of money he's going to make the rest of his career after being the guy who delivered a championship to the next after 53 years will probably surpass what he left on the table

in terms of the NBA pay the next pay agreed and incredible I know he's listed a six two

and I don't mean this is a hater the guy six foot it doesn't matter he is a month he is a I'm just so happy I can say he's on he's he's with me that's my guy he's on my team that's a great polo by the way oh yeah you were awesome yeah no I've wore this to game one and Sanitoneo um I wanted to wear something that said nicks but I didn't want to die I do have to admit like I do want to apologize to all Sanitoneo fans what happened in New York was terrible you were

correct Hank um and the people of Sanitoneo treat of me was such kindness what a what a town it's funny I read that one post that I don't know if it was Zach or someone said that they wouldn't let Zach and Steve and memes into a bar with their nicks gear on and someone threw a bottle at them but the bottle didn't hit them only a piece of glass cup one of them but everybody's okay I mean it I I wore this I got this for Sanitoneo and um I the nicks just kept

winning with me wearing it so I haven't I didn't wash it once I just haven't and the nips don't poke through it all of this yeah we've had some some bad visuals recently on the program uh in terms of just not you oh but just other people on the show I just know if you have memes and nipples oh really like do you work out you push ups me yeah um natural bro it's just natural yeah yeah yeah yeah this is me not on the gear what you're not on the gear no no no no no no no

that's stuff like like you guys on the jab no no no I'm all good that's just me what a time

uh what an exciting time it's just what a run it's just but by the way now finally I know what

it feels like you know I gotta tell you when the giants beat the patriots it feels like a fluke it it just does it feels like I can't believe that they won this game um hey boy shake your head this is like this is like different you're a fucking jets fan I I know but I mean I what does that have to do with anything well as a jets and you root against any boxed in teams you just do I just do it if they're playing the patriots yeah and by the way I want to say as you're

closer you're rooting for the giants by the way fair thank you so much for ruining my let's start with the game c_e_ stroke that was really that was uh that was really helpful in comedy their head I'll let it go this time what would you think about birthday for you will he's just a worse birth that you've ever had a delight you know great question no really great question now when you were a fucking pop it is pop it yeah we got you a shit little pop it yeah

“I'm looking back uh some other games you I remember in NBA history that took place on June 13th”

couple bowls Boston Celtics Golden State Warriors oh Warriors a hundred four Celtics 94 came five

right what there's let's start giving out the truth let me let let me say something also about the next

“winning this because um please the game I did go to was game one at the frost center arena again”

gorgeous town sanitoneo highly suggest moving there it looks seem beautiful by the way really I'm married you're gonna move there well listen I'm married two supermodel everyone knows that look it up but beautiful women down there when I went out like gorgeous very friendly smiley I'm into that hole like short shorts cowboy boots look it's like a look it's like a vibe that said you walk into the frost center arena center um they have all those

spurs trophies in there and you forget how many championships that franchise has won yeah and there is something to be said about the spurs way and it's in I gotta tell you it's intimidating it is it is intimidating when you walk into that house and you see all those championships I do want to say in terms of when being I'm not mad at how he acted I get it he's a young guy he plays with patch it passion any of us any of us would give a a testicle to have that guy play

with our franchise he is uh he's incredible I do feel like we're getting Jordan like for those two

years that the pistons just beat up on him once he unlocks it man that whole team was good I am shocked they did not win more games I again if I could explain to you how the next one those games I would I would work in professional sports I don't know how they won it's something it's the magic it's the magic that keeps the lights on in this place yeah magic I want to hear you say there is magic surrounding this next team no I mean they won the championship you guys

with the best team to share hey I want you to say you guys play the young you play a super young team that could not close a game but do you think like that's not magic you played a team that was like average age 21 years old but you had me no experience and completely choked every game in the finals okay that's not magic coming back you guys won coming back game one give two game three fine that game four come back and then it happens again last night in game five just to get back

on you making that joke about the jets and the giants thing Hank being that you're just vibrating hate right now the reason why the nicks are so special is I'm sorry to say I don't know care if I'm offending nobody's really in that's fan you know like that that franchise just hasn't caught on yet your other jets are giants in your other mats are yanky sand but everybody's in nicks

“in everybody and that's why it is there's there's there's one team I drove in here in New York”

is a basketball city yeah that's the sport of the city and who's able riders from Brooklyn and just like I don't know guys there's just a magic there there's just a magic there it's just

just I'd agree listen I'll be the first everyone to go around the room I'll start I think

there's a magic surrounding this next team pft I mean you can't you can't argue against that yeah the the leads that they came back it was it was absolutely it's like they didn't wake up until they were down 15 yeah when they were down 15 you're like they actually have them right where they want that's a magic max I'll say destiny vibes yeah team of destiny so yeah hey yeah I said I said no no magic no magic what a fucking grits you're the grinchy stalled the

championship man you really I don't know there's nothing like you like I don't know this is nothing to do with me not just admit it was magic you just came on here and talked about me this is this is this is a no a Jared and Mr. Bingbong sorry because of the fucking sixers no Mr. Bingbong started like two seasons ago with the Celtics oh no it was the six yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but then but then Mr. Bingbong really came you guys beat the sixers where no the Mr. Bingbong went to college

became doctor you didn't even play the Celtics this year doctor this is where Mr. Bingbong was born Mr. Bingbong also is very obsessed with Tiffany Gomez so Mr. Bingbong was born at the betkala when the nicks beat the Celtics oh yeah yeah yeah and no one thought the nicks were going to win

and I actually took the nicks for the points because I was like oh they're never going to win

“and then the nicks came from behind to beat the Celtics in that game one that's how they learned how to win”

these types of series that say Bingbong hanky hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey stop listen I'm very proud of how Mr. Bingbong is obsessed with Tiffany Gomez but Jared's not it's not it's just the character right no Jared's obsessed with Tiffany Gomez she is the coolest girl I mean Tiffany if you're listening hanky you blew it you blew it I met her in person I introduced her to two of my friends and Dallas we went out and my friends were like holy shit who is this and I didn't

tell them like who what Tiffany was famous for and all that stuff but it was pretty funny when we went out um we all had a couple drinks and Tiffany alluded to something with how Tiffany found her

hold on a second are you the crazy plane lady who is just so funny that we were there she's like

ah and um yeah I mean it didn't deter them she was uh what a beautiful girl I I thought it was interesting that I liked that story that my friends didn't know I didn't like tell them that this was the lady who was made famous for making a scene on a plane and they didn't know it and Tiffany sort of wanted to talk about it I thought that was an interesting story God you are so angry on your birthday come on birthday boy cheer up earthy who cares about your birthday after

“you're 18 years old I mean let me sort of like important like you don't you go to like”

basketball robins you get a free scoop of ice cream or something like you can do whatever you want you can show your legs to get free scoop of ice cream at 30 month flavors should birthday you're the birthday boy bing bang you blow it uh Jerry what did you think about Hank's uh shot at mr. bing bang there about your standby me tour which you're that is why you're here you have a show in like 45 minutes it's kind of like show we're touring we're selling out we're selling

standby me live dot com we go from city to city don't taste coming tonight I think I think uh um date is coming tonight um it's it's so funny we show stand by me which for a lot of your young listeners was a really classic movie that was bored of when I was a kid and it's really quite touching let's hear Hank make a negative snide marks good black or white felt this it's classic it's a lot of our co-stars passed away and our director has passed away from a grizzly

“murder and he jokes you want to make about that Hank so we're going on to that's what I thought”

shut the fuck up Hank god Hank you know I came in here I thought this is going to be fun and you just fucking riled me up immediately anyway we're going on tour we showed the movie we have a talk back with the the cast it's really emotional and sweet and fun and we have a really fun time and uh go to stand by me live dot com we got five more dates coming up in the fall love and and it's great and we're in Chicago for the night and uh if you guys are done well now you you already miss a show

like I actually got to run over uh all right rowback question are you show b c k rollback dot com promo code take uh how much off uh twenty percent off twenty percent off uh Tuesdays polo's hoody shorts y'all got a lot of stuff yeah roback dot com promo to co-take roback dot roback dot com promo co-take uh hey why don't you get the last question because you thought I said to Hank before when when we step in the studio I said hey you're going to sit on the couch and sacks not here yet they're coming back from senator Tony I said hey you'll do the lot roback question with windy

and he's like okay I got it because wind horse was definitely going to come on tonight oh let me just say what we're speaking of horse I want to say what one last thing yeah this is before our time before any of us was we're born I love horse racing there was a race horse named secretary it we're all familiar with it steroids okay we don't know that because there was no testing back then but secretary it was known and such a fun horse because it came it just came came from behind another horse far lap they came from behind they like to let the pack go out and then in the final stretch boom they would win that thing

“that's what the nicks are they're like they're like a horse that loves to watch the pack go okay and now I'm going to win”

and I feed off of the crowd and I feed off of it I want to say something else about MSG and this is going to really upset Hank a friend of mine who was there a good buddy of mine just in Christian I give him a shout out a childhood friend of mine

it's also fun too because when your hometown team wins piece of my friends from third grade that are calling me up we're talking

for an hour and a half last night about this I haven't seen this guy in 40 years we're talking on the phone a tour on the phone cord around our fingers talking about how special this was he was that phone cord he was at game four yeah I got I got a hard line shut the fuck up Hank I got that's crazy I got a landline shut the fuck up Hank um just in my buddy Justin was in MSG for game four a landline connected to an actual like wall yeah said he had your shut the fuck up Hank um and Justin said to me I was in that I was in MSG for game four

he said MSG one that came for them they when when we went to the line and he shot those two shots he said I'm telling you MSG got in his young mind MSG got in his head he missed those shots this is everyone contributed everyone even the OG tip just like do whatever they just the tip let me I want to see what it feels like giving me a ring oh no look at me take me no look at me

couple of the take because it's follows all right Hank you're a bad question

“I'll just ask the question shut the fuck up Hank hey man go ahead”

there's been uh there's been eight different NBA champions last eight years who do things got the best chance to win the next one I got to tell you great question great question thank I would have said the spurs at the beginning of this series that relevant to the question I would have said the spurs at the beginning of this not at the beginning of this championship series yeah nobody's saying the he thought the spurs could win

this one but after watching the next after watching the next yeah after watching the next they have that thing that I can't explain to my daughter what it is think of a team where you can't explain think think of the patriots when they came back 28 to 3 can you

“explain how that happened can you explain how the patriots beat the seahawks can you explain it Hank”

you're about cheating by by no guys shaping their defense ahead of time come on seriously how how did how did the patriots win those games can you explain it believe they believed don't you think there's a magic to that team Hank a special something that is just indescribable it's like looking at James yeah but those teams they had they won multiple it's like they can do it again like if this happens again in a couple years like then maybe there's something with
