We have Carson Palmer in studio talking NFL draft. We taped it on Tuesday, but we talked about his career, his draft, what quarterbacks he likes. Great interview.

Celtics minus five and a half.

Celtics minus seven.

Wow.

Celtics minus seven in the first game, which we are very, very excited for. So go to the Barstool Sportsbook app. We got exclusives, Hank. Do we have an exclusive? maybe for Game one of the Celtics game? Oh yeah.

I'm going to have to crunch the numbers, it's going to be Celtics money line and then probably a couple player props.

Okay, I like it, so go check it out right now. The Barstool Sportsbook. Follow Hank's exclusives.

Boy.

Boy boy, homeless streets, there is violence.

And there's lots of work to be done.

No place to hang out or wash in.

And Lifeless cans games all under slot.

Oh, no.

We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher.

Oh.

We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue. It's, pardon my trade.

Presented by Barstool Sports.

Dun dun, dun, dun, dun, dun dun. Yeah, I did, too, I did, too, when you could just sit down and binge the entire thing.

And it was just it was truly like an event for freaks and weirdos, because it was like, Hey honey, uh, I got to go watch an entire N.F.L. draft all day long, like, Wait, I thought it wasn't football season. No, no, no, we're going to watch a bunch of 19 year olds get selected for seven hours and we're going to get drunk doing it.

And then we're going to scream at it when you don't pick the right 19 year old. Now I've noticed that the Draft Day takes have starting to reheat. I feel like Draft Day the movie has become more popular. It's called Classic, The farther that we've gotten from Draft Day.

They also were very early to the drone shot. If you do a drone shot of a stadium, I'm in, I'm in. I will watch just as a I will watch just like they should. Actually, you know what, all right?

PFT comatose stuck his penis in Las Vegas. Yeah, it would be incredible, it would be incredible.

All right, so we got distracted there for a second. I do think, though, that that I like.

Draft Day now the movie. But it is like, if it's like National Treasure, right? it's like if National Treasure was written in a Buffalo wild wings. Yes, yes.

All right, so draft. So we have right now two more picks, three more picks. The big story, unfortunately, is We'll Love Us has not been selected yet. Hopefully he gets selected.

That has a quarterback in place already. And then he'll get to learn, he'll get to sit behind an established starter. And then he'll get to become. He'll get to blossom and metamorphosis to beautiful butterfly on his own time. I'm sure we find out they are already doing damage control. Because we've seen tweets from Chris Mortenson saying that there were some toe concerns, so once that toe is.

Done, the sky's the limit. But listen, we are nothing but incredibly biased in all of our analysis. And we like, we'll love us. Cause he's a friend of the program, um, and so we will be rooting for him and hoping that everything works out. But I do have a spin zone.

Be like, hang in there, bud, did you tell him, like, watch your lips, because people are trying.

To read what you're saying? No. I just said, Hey, just throw on the video of me getting the lottery ball and Hank being salty as fuck. And he responded, Shit, had me crying. What a loser.

He's fine, He's fine, That's good, He's fine. He had a little laugh there.

We'll have us. Was sitting in the green room laughing about you not getting the lottery ball. We brought a smile to his face. Is that not good? Yeah, no, it's great, okay?

Yeah, that was a good move. Good job Hank. Yeah. Way to support our friends. You save the.

Guy's happiness today. Good job Hank. Yeah, you're part of the 2023 NFL draft. you can't write the story of the 2023 N.FL draft without Hank.

Love this. I love the fact that the rumor out there was. No. I don't want to, I don't want to rain on his, I don't want to pile on because, well, he's had a bad enough night. So yeah, I'm.

Happy, yeah, why not? you look happy? yeah.

Yeah, it was, it was a stupid Reddit rumor about him going first overall. Oh yeah, and that's that's what kind of calibrated people's opinions. Going into this draft, expecting him to go like top five because there's a rumor who go.

Ironclad Well, I feel like the N.FL draft is the last frontier. When it comes to people being able to try to manipulate, like how they're betting by being like, let's just start a room with this guy's going to go. No one really had, especially in this draft. It felt like it was going to be chaotic and it was kind of chaotic. So we went Bryce Young one, everyone expected that, and then we went C.J. Stroud too, which we were talking with Jeremiah and Mick Shane. Being like, it'd be crazy if the Texas didn't take a quarterback, they did the right thing.

Because if they had done that in reverse and taken Will Anderson, then the price for the number three pick would have been a lot higher. If C.J. Stroud is still on the board. So the shocker, The Texans front office did something extremely competent tonight and lost another shocker, the Cardinals.

Front Office did something extremely competent. Because the Cardinals, it seemed like they were going to take Paris Johnson at three, they were able to trade out a three to six, get a future first rounder and still get Paris Johnson. Yeah, like, think about this, the Cardinals and the.

Texans might've just won the first round draft, I think, you know, in my draft grade, I'm going to give the Texans an eight plus. Because they picked second and third and they got good players, they got probably the best defensive player in the draft. And a lot of people would say C.J. Stroud best quarterback in this draft. If you just go off based on how he played and how he passed from the.

Pocket I thought you were going to say how he played and how he passed against Georgia.

Last game, best game, that's all that matters. I actually go based off the first half of the first game. I ever watched him play, which was against Minnesota, and I was like, this guy stinks, and then he probably ripped it up in the second.

That's my impression of C.J. Stroud. And then we had Devin. So Anthony Richardson goes to the Colts. Feels like the colts were like, Hey, we're, we're done playing this old quarterback game roulette. Let's get off the carousel, let's get a young guy.

And everything that he does is going to be a highlight or a low light. It's going to be. There's going to be a clip of everything Anthony Richardson does. Because he's like, he's a player. When he plays well, it's like, holy shit, he's the only person in the league that can do that. When he plays poorly, he looks like a drunk Jamis.

Just a content machine. And listen, this is something that not every franchise gets. The benefit, I'm going to use it as a positive, the benefit of of of experiencing. But drafting a quarterback in the first round really does like, give you a new pep in your step, lease on life where you're. Like, we have at least a year to just only look at the positive and ignore.

All the negative. The entire off season after you draft the quarterback is maybe the best off season of all, because you can convince yourself of anything in that time period.

But even the first year, like if he plays, let's say he plays half the games, yeah, even if he sucks for half of those games. You can still be like, Well, you, you saw how good he was in that.

One game, yeah, and he does seem more dynamic than any quarterback that they've had in a very long time. Obviously, Andrew Luck was pretty good and he could run the ball pretty well when he played. But Anthony Richardson is like, he is. Cam Newton 2.0, Yeah.

Raiders I just, I'm, I bust all big 12 defensive players. I loved his suit, though. yeah, his suit.

His suit was awesome, he looked like a cowboy pimp. Yeah, kid Rock was just nodding somewhere that he looked awesome tonight. So, uh, I don't I. I tend to agree with you, just less on like Big 12 players, but more Texas Tech player.

Be very fun. Yeah, they're just going to run the ball, he's going to be the Larry Johnson, yeah.

Is rookie? Was that his rookie year last year? Yeah, uh, yeah. And they have, uh, drake, London.

I am. Now that we're listing all these, I'm going to start believing in the Falcons again, cause.

They have dudes good for you, yeah. B. John Robinson is Texas back. This is I think their second top 10 pick in, like, I don't know, probably the last 10 years out of Texas.

Oh, speaking of which, uh, this just triggered the fact that Bryce Young was the first Alabama player ever to go first overall. That's not true, that's a fake stat. It was, it was shown on ESPN Modern NFL. I looked it up.

When you think of all the talent that they've had, but what schools have the most first overall picks? They haven't been like an insanely great offense until recently. Yeah, but even no. But that was any defensive as well. That's not that blew my mind.

Most first overall picks Yes, there's five tied at, uh, one overall, yeah.

There's four Ohio state.

Oklahoma, Georgia, Notre Dame, USC Uh, yeah, USC makes USC always kind of makes sense. Yeah, think about it.

Think that, uh, Seahawks got a great corner in early in the first round with a spoon is a beast. So I, you texted, will love us. I texted my good friend D.K. Metcalf. He was supposed to be on the show, Uh, and I told him that they trade they took. Will love us with her with her first first round pick pumped.

Took Devin Witherspoon and then they also. They got Jackson Smith and Jigba, who people had is the number one wide receiver at 20, he, they got them. That's kind of how I think about the draft.

When I think about teams that that had multiple first round picks, I'm like, Well, they won the.

First round Yeah, yeah, exactly, you have more than one first round pick. Um, and then we had the bears and eagles trading.

CarteR Because that's just forever tied, because Jalen Carter could end up being one of the best.

Defensive tackles in the N.FL. And here's what I'm going to say is. I actually think that it was genius for the Eagles to take him in, the Bears to not take him, because everything we've heard about him, he needs veteran leadership around them. The Bears do not have that, the bears have a very young locker room.

It's doing the Eagles, give me a fucking break, God damn it. We just took Smith, too, so we're just, I love what, how he's doing.

Yes, so Max, how are you feeling? I mean, I feel great, I don't think.

I mean, a lot of, a lot of people wanted Nolan Smith at 10 if we, if we didn't get Carter there. Oh, it's very. It's basically exactly what happened last year. When we took when Jordan Davis fell, we took him and then the Kobe Dean fell, and then we took him. Okay, so you have all Georgia, so it's just all Georgia.

Out there, Yeah, all right, so Max, you feel confident, you feel good.

Yeah, I mean, it's I. I'm a big believer of. Draft day means nothing and it's fun to get excited and watch highlights. Draft days about watching highlights. That's the only thing that matters is getting a guy who has fun highlights. That you can go to bed tonight watching them and like, get you excited for the future.

Took more defensive players. Are you a little nervous that, like, what if the turf isn't great and they slip? And then you cry about it for like, a month, how it was not fair, you cried about it. No, I didn't.

I'm going to feel safe for driving around Chicago. Yes, yes, take them, yes.

Wright is what the who the Bears took. Who is was my number one offensive lineman on my big board.

Yep, you know what? He's going to be a beast. Here's a feather in your cap. Micah Parsons ever heard of him?

Micah Parsons approved No. I mean, drafting o-line is always so funny because no one knows how they're going to pan out. But you're like, we needed that, I just, that's good, that we needed.

That you just want to take a big dude who can do the splits. Uh, what was, uh, our friend Tom?

For Nelly, I said, Tell me everything, because he's he's one of those draft nerds. And, uh, I think his exact quote was, When he gets his hands on you, it's over. Okay, I like that.

Yeah, that's smart. That's what they said about BTK, too. If he gets it, if he gets his hands on.

You, you're done, that's good, love it. Yeah, uh, yeah.

Well, let's talk about the lion. yeah, the lions, basically, they just they kept trading back and.

They did some weird shit, they're playing like 1980s football. They took a running back after getting DeAndre Swift and David Monk. Have Deandre Swift signed David Montgomery. They drafted a running back at 12 and then an inside linebacker at WHAT?

Why not? If they're going to draft a running back and they traded back and they took, they ended up taking Gibbs, why wouldn't they have just taken B. John Robinson with their initial pick?

I think, uh, if I had to take a guess, they were going to take Devin Witherspoon. Yeah, and that cause that the thing that I just don't understand about the lines. They needed defense, they had a good offense last year, they need a lot of defense.

The pieces of a Superbowl team. When Dan Campbell was playing football, right exactly now, I was doubting the pigs, too. But then I saw Dan Campbell's reaction in the war room, and he basically started to wrestle everybody in the war room. He was so pumped up. So I'm like, whatever, I'll just.

I trust in Dan Jack Campbell's a great linebacker name, someone pointed out on Twitter and he went to Iowa, so it will probably work out. Academic Heisman Yeah.

So the Lions have five of the first 55 picks in this draft, which is that's good as long as you don't screw it up. It might be like giving Joe Biden more bicycles. Yeah, yeah.

Let's see what else. Oh, Billy, what do you want to talk about? Uh, will McDonald?

The fourth love it. We needed someone in the box, a linebacker, D line or an offensive lineman, and we got one. And he can jump really high and just videos him jumping huge cars, dunking, doing back flips off walls. He can, like, jump over a whole offensive line.

Isn't he like two, 40 or something like that that's still can hit? Yeah, he's six, four, two, 40, so he's not short, or, yeah?

A car? Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't. What kind of car?

No worse feeling. And then doing like a fantasy football draft and having someone pick directly after you, instantly being like, I can't believe you missed that.

They stand up and they say, Yes, yeah, that's what Belichick did to the commanders tonight.

So Christian Gonzalez was slotted to go like somewhere in the top 15 felt to 17.

Sure, I was watching the Celtics game. I, okay, we'll get to that. I give your grade A, B plus flashy suit.

Two, so that's good, that's a good endorsement, yeah, so we'll love us. Officially not picked in.

The first round that sucks. The chiefs didn't take them, she did not take him. Let's look for.

Oh, okay, he could be there. She's officially did not take them. That sucks. Uh, I would get.

So hammered, If I were him tonight, yeah, I would just boom, hit the bar right now, go.

Back to the green room, I think I think Gino Smith did again. Spin zone. I actually think like you might go to a better situation, you also people won't look at you like anything. Richardson and C.J. Stroud.

You the same way, and if you end up being good, then you can, like, call the other guys. Later, when somebody else slides in the green room and be like, Hey, it gets better, you know who's in the green room after day one four years ago? DK MetcalF Oh, there we go, yeah.

Actually a, I mean, the notables right now on the list, uh, Hennon Hooker, Michael Mayor, who was awesome at Notre Dame, Joey Porter Jr. Brian Branch, Like, there's. I'm shocked that.

The Steelers didn't take Joey Porter Jr. Yeah, there's some based off vibes. It felt like they.

Had to do that. There's some good names. Yeah, there's some good names out there, so we'll get drafted tomorrow, um, by someone.

185 million, that's a lot of money to guarantee to a running back. And I I mean, the Ravens, kind of, they fleeced themselves on that one. Great job, Raven's like who? Nobody in their right mind was going to trade anything worth anything for that guy.

Some talent around him for once, so Zay Flowers, Yeah, went. And then we had. The Vikings took Jordan Addison, which is scary to think the Vikings having like, if they, if he's a good receiver, another great receiver. I love the Bill's pick of Dalton Kincaid. Like they, what do we say over and over and over about the Bill's offense?

There are a lot of teams out there that are just trying to outscore the chiefs they've, they've given up. The league has given up on trying to defend Patrick Mahomes, with the exception of the Raiders, who, uh, who took their defensive end. But in terms of, like the Chargers bills, they're just like, you know what? We're not going to be able to limit Patrick Mahomes to under 30 points. Let's just try to score 38 and hope that's enough.

Yeah, you're, you're absolutely right. Yeah, just outscore him. Um, it's not simple.

Just more points, score more points. Uh, there was a couple other things. Oh yeah, the Packers, uh, they. I think we're all hoping that they would take a wide receiver.

Them on the butt. It was that, and then his little brother or friend jumped on him, got pulled off and they got pulled off. It's only on this couch, bro, come on, man.

You know the rules that he compares favorably to Aiden Hutchinson, I would say, in the family.

Department Yes, I would agree, I would agree. Um, yeah, that's any other big ones from the draft. I mean, there wasn't anything that I was like, shock, shock with like.

When was the last time a team took two picks in the first five? Cause I know one, I know one time that happened, it was a long time ago, like 23 years, I think.

Jake, you look it up, yeah, two picks in the first five, I think there was another one recently.

Fuck cause. The one I know was the Redskins when they took Levar, Arrington and and Chris Samuels. There was one very recently. But just seems like they're on the right track. It would have been insane if they had not taken quarterback.

Baker and Denzel Ward, 2017, Bro, Yeah, 2018, Okay, yeah.

Okay, and Max, you were now? Max has basically been like, he's had free, you know, house money for the last week. And now it's all setting in, like, Oh, fuck, I think, yeah.

The whole gambit of emotions. I'm so excited for this, for, for, for our show, because it's going to be great to watch. But Max had, he was scared then, and B got healthy in the cell. Celtics lost game five and then he got happy, and then you could tell tonight he was rooting very hard for the Hawks.

No, oh, the thing about Max is he's never been worried about this and he'll beat Hank's ass. No, um, think about me. Um, no, it's good.

We need to do a super cut of Max just pausing and being like, No, no, it's gonna be a fun time.

No, it's going to be fun. I. The last time I spoke about this series, I was a little bit more nervous, Uh, but you're not nervous now? No, I mean, it's still a. it's still a playoff series. Celtics are a good team.

No, we'll have a stream Sunday night, you'll be shaving your face on on stream, you'll be.

Shaving your face You'll be shaving your face. What are the exact? what are the exact terms? cause I'm getting confused, the exact terms of the bet.

I hope Blake has really good. Yeah, it gets in a shit load, scores, a ton, all right.

They showed the graphic earlier today of their last, like 14 clinching games, all losses. There's always a chance of beliefs. They will figure out a way to blow it. Um, but I don't know, I guess I. I just haven't experienced Leafs failure on a on a first person basis enough.

Maybe it's just, you know, one game, but it. It also is like the the Lightning had been there many times before they win this game. Six, who? Boy, that would really suck for at least chance, it really would.

For the whole series, is that fair? Yeah, wait for both of them combined, yeah.

Average times four games. Okay, yeah, so 16 points I need out of both of them combined. Yeah, sure.

I think it's 17, 16 and a half, 16 and a half points out of B-ball Paul and Blake Griffin.

Combined for me not to get a soul patch, I like that I will be in a lot of trouble if I get a soul patch when a baby's coming. Oh, those are going to be some great pictures. That's a future me problem, boys.

Uh, I've got just I've got the Sixers I'm rooting for, Josh Harris and also. But again, you don't, oh man, what you want the soul.

I don't think, I don't think, like if I close my eyes, it's like just the Howie Mandel.

Yeah, just strictly the Howie Mandel hank. When was the last time you shaved your head? No, no, no, no.

Points he literally, because then B didn't play, he didn't play. It's not going to be a sweep, okay?

I'm excited, real excited. This is bigger than the finals. Every point from B-ball, Paul and.

Blake Griffin is going to feel like a soup bowl for me. Every single point matters. Yeah, this.

Is going to be great, all right. Also, Skip Bayless weighed in and he said that the Sixers are way, way, way, way, way, way that like greater than sign. I have no idea where this is going.

Really likes it or not, everyone's beat him all right. Let's, uh, we're going to keep to ourselves.

Bad question, I would say weird question, weird question, because it's it implies that the term failure, it's kind of loaded, right? What did you fail in your ultimate goal?

Right, so he responded, Uh, quote? It's not a failure, it's steps to success. there's always steps to it. Michael Jordan played 15 years, won six championships.

Were they a failure? Uh, MJ definitely would say yes, without a doubt. If you were to ask that same question, he'd be like, Yeah, the season sucked, yeah.

That's what you're telling me. It's the wrong question, Giannis continued. There's no failure in sports, there's good days, bad days.

Now, so, if you were to say that to a group of little league kids, it's because you're trying to teach them what would be the right lesson in life. Right? Where this is, you want them to grow up, to have this perspective that Giannis already has as an adult. So it's, I guess, technically.

Well, you teach them, because they're not going to be professional athletes and they need to learn that. Like, they're the the journey and everything like that. And how to win well and lose well, and.

All that, so Giannis has almost too much perspective, right? Which if he hadn't already won a championship, I would definitely say. This is why Giannis will never win an N.B.A. championship, because he has too much perspective in things. It's like, when we're talking about Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, like Aaron, Rodgers has all the perspective in the world. Because of his psychedelic use, which is not the trait that you want in an elite quarterback. You want a guy to be a complete psycho and to say, I will literally get divorced if it means that you try to keep me from winning football games.

You're like, he doesn't have that dog in him. Well, it's, it's just it's professional sports and expectation does change, like these post-game comments. Because if De'Aaron Fox or Malik Monk said this, I'd be like, Okay, they're on the way up, they're climbing their young team. No one expected this three seat, all that. Giannis, you guys were expected to be competing for a title, you were expected to be in the Eastern Conference final. Like a bare minimum when the bracket all broke out and they lost in five.

Say we failed at getting our goal. Yeah, so, uh, really, the big winner in all this is the play in tournament. Yeah, because the heat become.

We talked about LeBron, it was one of my criticisms of coach K. When he'd have like a one or two seed and he, and after they would get bounced in the tournament, he'd be like, it's about teaching young men how to become like adults. It's like, No, you wanted to win a title, you wanted to win a title, that was the goal.

And were like, Gross, I hate that hat, but I love it at the same time. Any, any, any team that's any season that doesn't have a championship is a failure. A couple of quick notes from the game. Well, No.

I think it does depend, like, cause someone was like, Oh, well, don't you say this other series?

Last year was not a failure, but it was losing the championship.

When you're in the championship, if the Celtics lost in the first round to the Hawks.

That's a failure, colossal failure. That's a failure. Losing two games is a failure. And again.

It doesn't mean any of these guys are failures. Like it it I. I quickly realized, because, um, it was a nice, healthy debate. Uh. Then it became a semantics battle, too, where it's like, we shouldn't. This is stupid now because people are saying, like, well, I'm never calling it a failure, but it's. I think. If you're a fan of the Bucs and you like pay money and you invest your time and everything to have them be like, No, it's not a failure. That you'd be like, What the fuck, dude like, it's okay. It's not saying that you suck or that the history of, like, the future of the Bucs is ruined, or anything like that.

It's like the difference in grade school when you're a young kid. We were graded on the curve of like, G for good, or O for outstanding, G for good, S for satisfactory, N for needs improvement. And then you get above, like second grade, and the f starts to hit, which stands for failure. The Bucs need improvement, but also this season was a failure, you could also say, disappointing.

Becomes a semantics battle where it's like, How do you define failure? These guys all have reached the pinnacle of pressure. No shit, the guys who are playing on the court aren't failures. I'm.

Going to let our good friend Webster solve this one. I looked it up. No, Oxford. This is coming from Oxford. A failure is defined as a lack of success.

And be like the Bucs have failed. Well, he does have, like, he has really good perspective and he's very likable guy. But this one, I just feel like it's okay to be like, Yeah, we failed. Our goal was to win a title. Can I give you a spin zone on this one?

You know who? A minority investor in the Bucs is minority owner Aaron Rodgers Another post-season loss for Aaron Rodgers failure.

Have been way more explosive. But he should have just been like, Yeah, our coach is a failure. Because not only did Bud go to overtime with the timeout in his back pocket, I'm pretty sure they finished overtime with a timeout in his back pocket. Grayson Allen finished the game, the Bucs.

Season finished without a last shot. That was, you know, a few times in sports, I was laughing out loud at that last shot attempt. It was so funny when it got to Grayson Allen and he just didn't even get a shot off. Trying to do a Euro step with zero seconds left, it was, I was like, legitimately, I can't believe that just happened. You don't really see that in Pro.

College? Yeah. The Badgers might've done that in the nit semifinal, where they just played hot potato for the last 15 seconds. But it was. It was a coaching masterclass by Spolstra and a complete dud by coach Bud, cause he was. There was a couple of things.

I did see it in the replies, but, uh, when the Raptors were down, oh, two to the Bucks. When the Kawhi, the year they won the championship. There was a quote that, uh. The coach came in and was like, we're going to make some adjustments, and Kawhi told the coach, Yeah, the adjustment is.

I'm guarding, uh, Giannis, it is a player leak, like the best players should, if the best player, I know the coaches have a job. But like, if Jimmy Butler says to SPO, this is what we can do to score this basket, spo's like, Yeah, you're the best player. You see what you see better than I I can right now.

He did push off, but also the box we're getting every call. Did they call it? No, then he didn't push, he didn't push.

Spo put Bam on the bench and Bud then put Lopez on the bench. Lopez kind of important for a lob at the rim. Yep, kind of a guy you want out there. Like it was just doing circles around.

You hardly ever see a lob at the rim on that play with like two seconds left, that's usually not.

The goal? But it works. Jimmy, Jimmy saying this is, I think this is going to work, let's do it. Uh, spo's gotta be the best coach in the league, he's so good.

Real, Yeah, so it was from Phil Handy, he wrote this down, Kawhi said. The adjustment is I'm guarding Giannis.

That's what like when your best player says, especially when your best player steps up and is like, I'm going to do this, you know that, like, why wouldn't? That's the best coaching.

In the world, get out of the way. Yeah, so maybe again, Giannis has too much perspective. I'm going to let coach make the decisions.

Yeah, and I know obviously Giannis getting hurt changes like the course of the series. But the Bucs one single win was when Giannis wasn't playing. And they blew double digit leads and back-to-back games in the fourth quarter. When they just couldn't score, I think they scored like two field goals from six minutes on in the regulation, including overtime, like they just couldn't score when they needed to. And Jimmy Butler is the man.

Their guys were fouled out in overtime. Yeah, and you'd honest, with the most heat culture tech ever.

Going at it with Bobby Porter, which was like, that's just two dogs barking at each other, like with a fence in between. Like, I just, I would like, I love both those guys. Yeah, yeah.

It's the ultimate. Jimmy Butler has officially flipped the switch. Incredible, it's incredible, yeah.

And he has that, like, I am better than you. I'm going to take this game over on your head, like it's. There's just nothing better in sports than watching someone talk shit and then back it up.

I would like the opposite of Dylan Brooks, I would like to say directly to our audience. Part of my take is a failure because we pronounce heat culture to be dead, that's true, we failed.

I think Jimmy Butler culture is now over heat culture. No, no, no, no, no, no no, no, no no, yeah, it's Jimmy Butler culture. Jimmy Butler did that.

Like, we were talking about bowl of seat, we're like, Eh, yeah, we're probably going to lose to.

The Uh, box. But I do wonder if Giannis didn't get injured, but guess what, that just happens. And like you said, Tyler Hero's injured. He broke his hand.

I think if they make the finals okay, so so probably, I'm not going to say it. I'm not going to say probably not, I'll say it.

My lesson yet there's, there's, I am officially. Especially with the Lakers who, uh, when put out another dud, I feel like they're just. They are like the Jimmy Butler as a team, where they're just flip the switch. Like, Oh, we don't, we don't need to win Game five.

They're playing with fire. Third quarter was was a dagger for them. Yeah, they, they fought, they they would bring it back close, but after that third quarter.

They weren't going to win that game. Yeah, LeBron said. He had to be better, he's like.

I'm a failure for the good of the game. I'm hoping for the Lakers for the good of the game. Yeah, Lakers, Lakers, Warriors, Celtics, yeah.

Thing, uh, and we'll talk about Nick's calves. But Hank has never been more right about us, being light the beam guys and being so excited. And then the Warriors have ripped off three.

Straight wins, finally, one on the road. There was a material change with Darren Fox, Yeah.

Yeah, although I think I think it's just like the Warriors don't start the playoffs, still dream on gets suspended. Yeah, and then, and then they just, and then they're ready to kick it into gear, and then that last, that dagger layup that Curry made. Uh, when they were, I think they were up like four or five with like 40 seconds left, where he just ran around the court with the ball.

If the Kings advance, we're going to be caught up again on the beam team. We're going to, we're going to beam beam mania, we'll be beaming everywhere. And we're going to be, um, yeah, dude, it's going to be beam pie, yes.

Warriors take a three two lead back to the Bay. Um, never say never, but that was like the Warriors not being able to win on the road. They they checked that off and now they can win games and then the Warriors, which would be crazy if they win. They get home court in the Lakers when they get home court advantage as a six seat. The playoffs have been so awesome because we we usually don't have this.

Yeah, you know what? I think we do have to become a failure podcast. We have to just call it we are, we are.

Your face? For like, four years since you called him a non top 15 play, I said he was like 16..

Yeah, he just keeps doing it, he is. Uh, so what's a bigger failure? Purdue or the Bucks?

FDU didn't, but percentage wise, percentage wise, I think that was the fifth or sixth time, fifth time, yeah, but there's only two, one seat. This is the second time, right?

To seven versus one, but there's four one season march madness every year, they're number four, two. I would say that produce a bigger failure, which means that the Bucks are a bigger failure at being a bigger failure because they failed at being the best failure.

Uh, Nick's calves, uh, I have, so Nick's like, they're legitimately good. uh, Julius Randall, he got hurt like he's was terrible all series.

Better, they just didn't show it, the calves were better, they didn't show it, plus the effort.

The Calves did. If the Calves played their best game, they would have won that series.

But they never played their best game, but they also didn't want it enough. So it's like, it's a formula with the two things that you need to win a series that they didn't do.

They had one of them, but they were better, they were better, they just didn't play better.

But the two things they didn't play better, they didn't demonstrate that they were better. You need.

Three things you need to be better, to want it more, and then to play better. So they had one.

Of the three, yeah, so that means that the other team had two of the three, and that's why they want. That's exactly how the series, but that still means that the other team's better. But.

If the if we did it on paper or on a Excel sheet, the calves have advanced. Okay, got it, cause they.

Were more talented, got it okay, right? Congratulations to the Cavs.

To the Cavs, they were better than the Knicks. Knicks season is a failure, according to Ricky.

Rubio and Danny Green got it. That's loser talk, that is something might've gotten lost.

In translation, but it was a. It was a reporter reporting that Danny Green also said that. So they both walked in just being like, Damn, we were better than those guys, even though we lost in five games and got fucking curb stomped multiple times.

Going into the playoffs, that the Cavs would be the fun team that could go in a little run. They weren't fun at all, they weren't fun, they were not fun. If you're going to lose like that and you're going to be better, at least be the more fun team.

The Kings could, Kings would potentially lose, and we'd be like, Well, that was fun. Yeah, Cavs were just depressing and played shitty basketball. Yep, and now we have Tibbs versus Jimmy, and New York is on fire for the Knicks.

If I go, I'll be using Game Time last one to take us $20 off code PMT. So we'll see. But the tickets are pretty, pretty steep for Madison Square Garden player, I'm sure they're.

Getting insane right now. Yeah, yeah, all right. hockey playoffs, hank, we only had. oh no, we had two games.

Uh, TD Bank, North Garden. How are you feeling? Same way as the Celtics? I think if either these games go to seven, then it's a scary, scary collapse situation that, you know, neither team should be in this situation. Oh, Mark blacked out in overtime.

Standing on your feet, he was standing on his feet out there. So, uh, we already know what happened in Celtics Hawks because we we taped the beginning of the show after all that stuff. But let's just pretend that the Celtics lost, they didn't, okay.

To wear that hat so you don't even want to pretend No, the Celtics loss. I will be panicked. Shook Uh, not, not a happy camper, okay?

Meanwhile, Max is like, So how we're taping the show today because the draft goes late, we're taping this. It's like six o'clock in the afternoon or evening, uh, and then we'll tape the whole show, the beginning of the show. After the draft, after the cells and stuff. So I keep saying, we'll do all the draft stuff, stuff later tonight. And Max just keeps chiming in on the group texts, being like, also Celtics Hawks because some teams still are in the first.

Round Have you noticed those texts? I have noticed those texts I'm saving, like I said, I'm not. I'm put my focus back on being the Hawks.

Right, and you? yeah, by the time you're listening to this, the Celtics have already won. Yeah, yeah.

Right, so you're good? So there's a one. Jason Tatum over 25 and a half points. Al Horford over 15 and a half points. Rebounds. Assists Trey Young. No shimmies, I'll be rich.

Out what happened, yeah, I would say the court, uh, the court hearing that we had, I think everyone lost. Because Hank and I quickly learned that we don't know anything about law, how legal proceedings work. We just we. We both started the video just being like, All right, present your case, and then I was like, Wait, am I presenting mine?

Over each other. I. I've watched probably, uh, four to 500 episodes of Law and Order, all sorts of other cop TV shows growing up. I still have no idea what it means when you do the uh, objection, your honor. Oh, we were objecting each other back and forth, and the judge says, either overruled or sustained.

Listen, I was throwing erroneous out there, We were throwing objection, we were saying, like, court of order and all kinds of shit that made no sense. Uh, but yeah, Hank and I are in a good spot now.

Objection on myself. Where there will be a brand new graphics package put together by our amazing behind the scenes team. Uh, memes, Max, Chain and Evan. And I can't wait to see that.

And the golf videos coming out Friday? No, no, no, no, the graphics are getting announced.

Or getting revealed, uh, Thursday night? So for the golf video, No. Tonight's PM TV with the.

Court. So if you're watching this on YouTube right now, you'll notice that the graph is a little different. So make sure you also notice there's no golf video. Make sure to complain about the.

Graphics package and be like, I missed the old shout out graphics, yeah, shout out, crap you.

Got to do a great job watching this on YouTube right now and you're just scrolling around, being like, Where's this golf video? It's not there yet, just know that it'll, it'll be there next week, yeah.

Yeah, the video is not for you. Yeah, like good golf, yeah.

I said, next Thursday early drop, it'll be Thursday 500,000 subscribers, right? Yep, yeah.

Yeah, before we get to Carson, uh, Carson Palmer, actually the best redheaded quarterback playing Carson of all time in the NFL, without a doubt. He's brought to you. By C4 C4 performance energy provides explosive energy you can feel with clinically studied carnation, beta alanine and 200 milligrams of caffeine.

Okay.

It was cool, but it was different because I had agreed to a contract prior to the draft. So I was excited to go to New York because everybody wants to go to New York. That's not that doesn't get to live here. And so I went to Cincinnati to sign the contract. Like on Tuesday and then had a had a big press conference, did that whole deal. And then Wednesday flew from Ohio to New York.
