Congrats Hank. The summer of Hank is upon us. It is nigh the long, long drought for Boston all the way back to 2018 is finally over.

Five and a half years.

It's really incredible that you survived this long, maybe the biggest drought of your entire life, as a sports fan.

I think it is.

I'm so glad that it's over because you must have been in hell for those five and a half years. But the Celtics, they did in five games, you thought they'd do it in six.

I bet them to win it under five and a half games, so that's just false.

You said on this very show.

Yeah, I did say on the show six.

Listen, hank, this is going to be a hank wet suck fest. you don't need to come in hot right now.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Congratulations Hank. You're better than us as a sports fan. The city of Boston is better than us as sports fans. I'm very jealous of everything you've gotten to experience, but you had a great team.

He's the best player on the team.

Jason Kidd was 100 correct. Congratulations to Jalen Brown. Very happy for you. Hank, Yeah.

Thank you, Hank, thank you.

Tell us, tell us before. By the way, for people who are wondering, we're going to tape after the Stanley Cup, so you'll hear us react to Game five. If there's any. If the Panthers end up winning and everyone's like, why didn't you say Panthers as well, we will.

One more thing real quick about Jalen Brown, You know how? I know he's the man and he's batman on that team. Yeah, he wore the wire.

Yeah.

He wore the wire, and Wendy taught us that's the man, The man is the wire, yeah.

I do think they kind of switched that person game by game, but that's fine. It was a great night. There's truly nothing better the day after, you know, as fun as it is to win a championship. That night. You don't go to sleep until, like, 2am, you watch every video.

Well, you think Brad Stevens is the greatest GM of all time?

I think he's got to be, he's in the conversation.

All time one title.

He is in the conversation, we are having the conversation.

Well, we'll see. The team is set up for a great, great run, which is the most exciting part.

Oh, you're thinking about the next one?

I am thinking, I mean, you have to think about the next one. It's like, we made it to Game 7 last year. Jason Tatum rolled his ankle. They almost came back from 3-0..

Maybe a mini-dynasty?

Maybe a real one, oh.

No, I'm saying already a mini-dynasty.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no.

I completely agree with Hank that he is laser-focused on the next one. He is wearing a shirt that says Banner 18 on it.

Well, yeah, you've got to celebrate him when you get him.

Shouldn't you wear a shirt that says Banner 19?

Question mark.

No, I like. The Celtics had a blank banner in their practice facility.

Well, they're going to have another blank banner. Yeah, okay. The game was never really in doubt, it was the Celtics coronation.

Uh, it turned into a little bit of it. Was Lucas Stat padding, yeah, and then Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum just going for that.

Trading off I so, but yeah, you guys, I mean. The Celtics were the best team by far in the N.B.A. this year. It showed in the regular season, it showed in the playoffs, they had an incredible run.

It's gotta be Odoka. Marcus Smart is definitely happy, probably a little bit bittersweet, obviously, but.

Odoka just had to not be horny.

Yeah, Odoka dropped, fumbled the bag. Marcus Smart. It wasn't really his choice, but he does get to say, you know, he helped the culture. And and Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown. He was instrumental in their, you know, upbringing as players. So he, you know, I'm sure he's happy for them. Obviously it's it is. It is sad.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would probably agree with that. Marcus Smart, though. Not a great day either.

But and they needed the guys who they brought in for him, yeah, to get over the hump.

Yeah, although.

Drew Holliday was the difference maker.

Drew Holliday was incredible. I still Bucs fans will get mad. I still think that like, I don't understand that.

Yeah, they just gave him away.

I and they let the Celt, I know, they didn't directly trade him to the Celtics, but they opened the door for the Celtics to get him.

Yeah, kind of a head-scratching move on that one. But KP Christophs Porzingis, he did play, Hank was right, they they got him in the rotation.

QUESTION Yes, well, let's glaze a little bit more, Max, you want to glaze a little, you got to say something.

Do you want me to get sentimental too? Yeah, get sentimental.

And then I have some, some followup questions.

Big Cat remembers he was there when I started at Barstool, basically for the first year, two years. I was thinking I was getting fired every step of the step of the way. So I was like, trying to think of things to do so that I could get some level of job security. At the time, there was no Celtics blogger, so I started blogging the Celtics Big.

Some say that you had a process and you trusted it.

Big time, yeah, that's where Brad Stevens and Brad Stevens the craziest part. He developed them as a coach, like he knew Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum as a coach, he developed that team.

Can you even truly say that you have a great culture, though? If you do things like not even give Grant Williams a tribute video, you didn't see that he was. He was pissed about that, he said. I was pissed. I was definitely pissed about not getting a tribute video.

Did you see the video of Jalen Brown walking past him?

Yeah, I saw some of that.

There was, like, Jalen, Jalen Brown and, and, uh, Grant Williams, like, Reconnect. He was walking down a hallway, just giving people high fives, and he gave him a high five. Like he was just like a security guard or something. And then talk to, like a lady with her baby for for way longer than he, acknowledged Grant Williams.

That tribute video needs to happen for Grant.

Yeah, do you think he did?

GRANT WILLIAMS Everyone's ragging on that game seven against like he did have a huge, huge game for the Celtics, game seven against the Bucs. It's why would you go to that?

Yeah, I don't know.

Why would you go to that?

I don't know, do you think Jalen Brown was the deserving MVP?

Yeah, I thought the votes, they put the votes out. I think it was, you know, seven or eight to four, or you know, he had three or four more, which is, which is fair. He's performed slightly better in the finals. I also. Jason Tatum did lead the team in points, rebounding and assists for the playoffs.

We would never do that, yeah.

Yeah, and we would never do that.

I do think Jalen is clearly the better player.

I do think, uh, I don't think Andrew Wiggins ever won a Finals MVP.

Oh, Steph Curry won that, I thought he won.

Yeah, Steph Curry won that, uh, I do think Jalen Brown was deserving MVP winner. Because if you look at this series, which wasn't really competitive. The only time that you could point to it and say, Oh, this was the game that I thought the Mavs would win. Or, you know, be at least up for, was game three. Going back to Dallas. And his second half in that game basically ended the series. Yeah, like he, he, he single-handedly ended the series there, so I I do think he should have won MVP.

That picture.

You can't get emotional about that, you're, you got, you got a cold heart.

All time picture.

Uh, Max, I would like to hear you, maybe compliment Hank.

No, thank you, I would like to pass on that.

Okay, all right, Max is passing.

Max, What were your thoughts?

Celtics won.

Okay, that's good thoughts, that thought.

That's that, that's what's going on in this head.

Not a lot going on that. Are you happy for Hank?

No.

As a person.

A little bit.

No, you're a max.

Come on, come on man.

I can't do this, Max.

That's bad karma, but that is Billy's scumbaggery.

That is a billion championships, I don't, I'm not like, happy that you got your one championship.

It's not like you've never won.

I mean, you did beat Patriots in the Superbowl couple.

We did, um, no, I don't, I don't care, but you, the way you were saying that, you were like everyone doubted, doubted them, said that they couldn't win a championship together. That'll be great when that story is said about Embiid.

Maxie.

MAXIe Yeah.

But like, I feel like he's had four teammates that he actually has just run out of town.

There's Al Horford, there's true holiday.

Jimmy Butler.

This is your moment, Hank, why are you doing this? Don't let them drag you down. This is your moment.

Yeah, no, you're right, it is.

You don't think that'll be a story of everyone being like, Oh yeah, everyone said. Embiid couldn't win, win the big one and then he wins the big one.

Yeah, you're right, it is, there's not, there's nothing better than that moment. I'm not going to say I hope it happens for you, because it's probably not. But there is nothing. You're right, that there's nothing better than than when people say that.

So you're thinking mini Dynasty loading?

I'm already thinking, I was looking at that picture and I'm like, the best picture ever is going to be when it's reversed. When we win another championship. Jason Tatum's the playoff, the finals, MVP.

Oh so, you're, it sounds like you're building a wedge. So you are thinking about how Jason Tatum needs to win a Finals MVP to be on the same level?

I'm just thinking of how, like, how sick that picture will be.

You think Tatum will play well enough in the future finals? Of course, okay.

It's interesting, though, because it's the day after you guys win a championship and you're already thinking in the back of your head. This kind of stinks. That Jason didn't get MVP.

Tatum needs to get one to even it up.

Yeah.

That's kind of what you just said.

It's like there's a rivalry, it's like there's a mini Philly Boston rivalry.

No, I, I, I'm just thinking of, then then what? What do they say? The the cause? It's crazy how quickly people jump to that.

The tension, though, on when they were announcing the finals. MVP was the best part of the game. Oh yeah, like that was the most thrilling part of the game.

I also think if I could be, like, a little bit serious about basketball here, I think that that does a disservice to the Celtics as a whole. Because if you just take Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum, and you put those two up against some of the other big twos in the league. I don't necessarily think that they're the best two in the league. I think that there are some other teams that might have better, well, they are right now better duo No, no, the rest of the Celtics.

They're the Pistons.

Oh, like the, uh, the mid 2000s Pistons.

That's correct, that's this. They ended star, they ended star power. what need need star power to win finals last night? Yeah.

If you were to take like the starting five, even the top six or seven guys in the rotation. The Celtics are without a doubt the best team in the N.BA. Like, their depth is insane, they're very, very good. So when you boil it down to Jason or Jalen, you know which one of these guys is going to be the guy that that single-handedly carries. That's never going to happen with this team.

Right, oh, and that's the beauty. It's a it's a team sport. Like, I don't root for one of them more than I root for the other.

It sounds like you're just rooting for the Celtics.

No, I want that to happen just for the media, cause then it's like, this is what they're going to run run with for the next year.

You are the media.

Yeah, you, you are the media you host.

I'm not running for it, I'm happy for the Celtics, I'm happy for the team. It is like, like I said, Brad Stevens deserves as much credit as anyone like.

Brad Stevens made the moves to get Sam Hauser was incredible. Uh, hitting threes the do you want to do the reveal?

The shirt reveal Yeah.

No, take off your hat and show everyone the shaved head.

Uh, no, but I do have a plan.

Oh, okay.

Okay, plans are important.

I'd like to hear this plan.

I have volunteered myself.

Oh, you're going to do charity, you motherfucker.

To go to, uh, long enough, the first home game banner night, and I'll be in attendance with a fully bald, shaved head during football season. Yeah, wow.

Also, the opposite of charity.

Yeah, yeah.

That is, I thought he was going to do like the Loves for law.

His hair is not long enough for that.

I was nervous and he was going to flip it on us.

Locks lockwood for for love.

See, big cat. The thing about me is when I know we actually might get my hair, I'm going to give it to charity because I want people who are less fortunate to have have my hair. Hank doesn't think about other people that way.

I don't think anyone wants to say.

So hank you, you, you deserve, uh, your happiness, uh, again, I don't.

I don't know, does he?

No, he deserves to, he deserves his happiness, the happiness that he has. There's something to back it up.

Yeah.

I'm not wishing for him to be happy, but he deserves the happy.

Are we saying he deserves it in terms of his work?

So actually, yeah, you know, he deserves to be happy right now.

Because of what happened, I also think five and a half years is a long time. You put in, you put in the grind, so respect.

That's crazy and and and there is like, like I said before, like the Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, people can do revisionist history. But there was a very big debate of whether those two guys can do it together and they proved they could.

Did you like Jason? Uh? Jalen Brown holding up the trophy with his left hand.

Yeah, I like that, um, cause he can't dribble his left.

He's the Finals MVP, that is true.

He is the finals MVP, which is pretty crazy. It's actually the most amazing thing ever.

Worth the wire?

To be the finals MVP without only using one hand.

Yeah, imagine if he could use to be every MVP.

Uh, can I? Well, let's talk about the Mavs real quick.

Um, also the clip. And again, I shouldn't, I shouldn't, it should be positive. Oh, and I got. People were mad at me for, Wait, what are you going to say? Did you see the video?

You liked that?

I liked it, Yeah, I liked it a lot.

You liked it a lot.

I liked it a lot.

He also kind of you sound like you're getting horny right now.

It was I, and I didn't want to, even, you know, I was. I was just tweeting about the say it, but it was. I watched it many times.

He gave a little shout out to the fans, too on the way out. I feel like the rivalry is over.

It's a hundred percent over, he hasn't won in Boston, and it's like, he, you know?

One in 13.

One in 13.

In Boston.

So so what I was gonna say with the Mavs? As bad as that finals was, I feel like you can. I would buy stock in Luca because it feels like he's getting shit on. He's 25 years old and he's made all N.BA, I think four out of his first five years. Something like that and Derek Lively is going to be really good for a really long time. They probably need to add a couple more pieces, but.

Did you hear what he but Mavs fans like?

What?

At his press conference after he did the I might be a free like, I got some things to think about.

Oh, I didn't see that.

What does he have to think about?

That is what they say when they're might be doing, be free agent or something. Oh, interesting is that.

I don't, I don't know.

That's what they are saying when they might be doing free.

I think Luca just needs to get in better shape cause he this entire finals. Every first half. He was the best player on the court and then he would start to fade. And that is credit to Celtics defense, which is phenomenal. But either way, I would be buying stock in the Mavs because as much as that sucked. And you were far away from winning the title, cause it wasn't really a competitive series.

I mean, Derek Lively, Yes, I. I don't know if you're going to get the same Kyrie and Luca Magic at the same time that we had.

I don't think it's, I think Luca is going to be. Luca is the the path that Luca is on. He's going to win a title I would put, I'd, I'd bet it right now, Luca will win a title.

I think you probably will, I just don't know if it's going to be with Kyrie.

Yeah, it doesn't matter, I'm just saying, like, Luca is the Mavs can keep Luca. You should be like, if you're a Mavs fan, you as much as today sucks. Usually like, Well, we have Luca. So we have a chance to win a title. Essentially for the next seven to 10 years, yeah.

I mean, the way that your team's constructed you, you, uh, silenced a lot of critics. When you beat the Timberwolves, when you beat the Nuggets, or no, the Timberwolves beat the Nuggets, you beat the Timberwolves. That was a big series for you guys. It's not a fluke that you're there.

Yeah.

You're, you're that good offensively and the defense is pretty good, but the problem with the Celtics is they're just too deep.

Uh, what are you finding, hank you finding this?

Trying to make sure he said that.

I don't think he did, I don't see it.

I have one thing that we didn't talk about, actually, memes brought this to my attention.

Okay, cause I have another thing that's maybe going to get a little negative that I don't. Maybe Hank should leave the room.

Okay.

For, but go ahead.

Well, mine is the Jason Tatum. Kevin Garnett, Yes.

So that was it, that was what I was going to say. Hank, would you like to speak at all about the fact that Jason Tatum has negative aura?

I think we have a real life, uh, case of this in our own own crew. And it's just something with the younger generation. Like everyone, it's just all nostalgia. And today's day and age is just, you know, they wear the old jerseys, they just remake the same movies.

Oh, you mean, with your own shot at memes?

With our own crew, who do you mean?

Memes speaks in memes, memes does speak in memes.

Thinks in memes, Yeah.

He thinks in memes.

So you think Jason Tatum speaks and thinks in memes?

It just didn't feel authentic, which, again, this is very nitpicky because they just won the title, they did.

They did do it.

They did do it.

He said We did it.

They did it, and then he also did the Kanye at the after party.

Oh, that was a he's just, yeah, speaks in memes, yeah.

He speaks to me.

What was the Kanye?

It was like, uh, everyone was wondering what would happen if we didn't win the title. I guess they'll never know.

Oh, okay, for a second.

I thought, No, not the other kind.

He might've, like, thanked his doctor, I'm not going to say what kind of doctor.

No, no, no, no, no.

Uh, it was, Uh, he, I don't. honestly, I don't. I don't. I don't give a shit if he doesn't have aura.

No, no, nor should you, but it, and he does. Would you? Well, I don't know, I don't know if he has aura. Jalen Brown has aura. Jalen Brown has aura.

Wearing the mask.

Yeah, something about Jalen Brown, he like, he seemed very cool.

Yeah.

What would you say? Jalen Brown has more aura than Jason Tatum.

No, oh, I think they have equal aura.

You do.

That's now you're not just, yeah.

How can you have the same aura when Jalen Brown has a Finals MVP?

I would say that Jason Tatum, I feel like you either have aura or you don't.

Right, and Jalen Brown has it, and Jason Tatum doesn't.

You can have negative aura.

I think it's a rare thing to have.

Yeah, almost as rare as winning finals MVP.

I'd say, exactly as as rare.

Yeah, so when? So they both have no aura.

I'm not trying to shit on either, I'm not trying to say he has no like me. Yeah, Jalen Brown has a little more aura, but they both have aura. He's trying to drive a wedge.

I think Deuce has aura.

Deuce had the best night of his life.

Deuce has way more aura than his dad. Yeah, yeah.

There is, I mean, it's like, Yeah, he, that kid got to. He was an NBA champion last night.

No, listen, no one cares. Like Jason Tatum doesn't care that people are making fun of him online right now. He just won the title, who cares?

It would be funny.

But it was, it was a crit.

It was a little bit of. He's like refreshing the timeline, seeing all the memes, and he's immediately like, put down in the dumps. Yeah, with the trophy, it's like, shit, they're clowning me.

What did, what did he say when he tried to do the KG?

The best, he said, we did it.

We did it, we did it.

And but they did.

Right?

He looked up the same way the KG did.

Yeah.

It looked like he practiced it. When I want just an authentic moment there, like he'd just be authentic and be like, that, fucking that was fucking awesome.

On the flip side, the picture of him throwing deuce is the most authentic picture, I agree, and that's one of the best pictures in sports history.

That that had a little aura to it, right? It was more deuce, but that had aura.

Yeah, it wasn't the most natural moment, yeah.

Okay, there we go.

We got that. You don't think texting Kobe and then posting a screenshot that's not Aura.

I don't think so.

No, you think? he? texted Kobe.

It is cool, though, looking back at the tatum. Uh, when he tweeted it, LeBron asking for a follow, that's one of my favorite.

Yeah.

When he, Uh, let me pull it up.

And they had Jalen when, Jalen Brown, I think it was right after he got drafted, or before he got drafted and he went to the finals. When the Warriors were playing and they were following him for like, NBA TV or some, you know, piece. And he was just like, I'm this is, I want to get here, I'm going to get here.

Yeah.

And like the young Al Horford, the picture, you know? Cause I'm very happy. He was on the Celtics with young Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown and left, and somehow the teams let him come back.

Right, and he, what happened when he left?

He signed a huge contract, got a fat bag, fat bag from the Philadelphia 76ers.

They didn't have any other players that they were going to give that bag to.

Yeah, no, I mean, it's a great, I mean, the N.B.A. champion and college champion. Like it was a good, good, good signing for them, bad organization, so they didn't work out. But it's just a miracle that he got back basically for nothing, which again is Brad Stevens.

Yeah, the Jason Tatum tweet to LeBron was when he was 14 years old, he said. King James follow back It's Larry Hughes nephew from St. Louis, and Aben R.J. little cousin and Justin's son. Follow back.

I love that and the Matthew to Chuck.

What'd you say?

What is it, isn't it spelled?

Learn puck, Yeah.

He gave him a shout out afterwards. He's like, get another one for a kid from St. Louis.

Yeah, well, that video is the virus.

Yeah, no, it is. It is well and we'll put in I love basketball in a second.

But yeah, my guy Matthew to chuck.

So you're okay with just the allegations of negative aura?

But you also literally just said that the picture of him and Deuce was Aura.

That's a picture, though.

That was also because of Deuce.

Minus. But Deuce had the aura he's or the Explorer.

So he's got aura DNA, he's got aura in his DNA.

No, it could come from the mom. No, it could come from the mom.

It's true.

It could come from you, inherit that from mother's side. Yeah, yeah, you know, he's got aura.

I'm pretty sure he was concussed.

Yeah.

Cause he, he did not. He was like dead pan, and we were talking about it in the gambling cave. It has to suck. I know that it's obviously incredible to win a title, but you win a title and you're like, this is going to be the best week of my life. We're going to go party.

Yeah.

This fucking sucks.

Like, you've gone all your life with a great smile, and then you get ready to take the most important picture of your life. You're holding up the N.B.A. trophy.

He did no teeth.

That's bad ass, though.

Yeah, it is, it is cool, and it's a hockey guy move to say, like, Yeah, I'll give up.

And those are the pictures that get like, hung up in bars forever, like it's always like the cool, like bloody or like whatever, like, that's that's a bad-ass picture.

But that does have to suck, though, deep downwards. Just like, God damn it, I wish my teeth weren't broken.

I feel like that's like a after the parade, cause he's going to have adrenaline. They went to Miami, they I like they, I think, Wind Horse said. They wrote on the whiteboard before the game flight to Miami at noon.

They had it booked. I like that.

That's pretty cool.

Happy 617 day also.

Yeah, 617 day, pretty impressive.

Are you guys doing championships every time the cicadas come out?

No, that's way too much time.

No way too much time in between.

Yeah, I hope not. This is, and it is like the last two championships.

What?

2008 16 years, yeah.

Skaters are 17.

But yeah, I don't want to. I hope we don't wait this long. It is again that that 2008 Celtics team is is when I, you know, fell in love with the Celtics and really started following them after that.

And front runner.

A little bit, for sure.

God forbid, you root for a team that's good.

Yeah, I mean, I was like I was 13 years old.

It wasn't like I was like, Max is really hurt right now, he's in, he's just.

Were you just like a diehard Sixers fan when you were 11?

When I, Yeah, I was of every sport when I was a Celtics fan, but I wasn't. I'm not going.

To sit here and pretend like I was like watching every game and following it after that season, I started following it forever and here on out.

So yeah, you and I are just different, that's fine.

He's hurt, he's a hurt animal.

Um, but it was great that they won one, they're legends forever. It did, you know, it does feel, and they say it that it, you know. They should have won more, they could have won more, so hopefully that doesn't happen again.

What did Dave say afterwards? Heroes die, yeah.

Said he got a little too high from the cigar. What happened with Donnie lighting the scar on the wrong end?

That was great. I don't know what he was thinking, I think that's just just Donnie being Donnie.

Did you guys go party?

Uh, no, I played pinball here for like, an hour and a half. Oh, that's beautiful. Drank some, uh, coors lights.

You also just showed up very early today, earlier than usual.

No, I go to the same time, I go to the gym eight to nine, then I walk in.

Yeah, man, you were here earlier.

Pepping your step?

So much, I mean, it's it's the best.

Yeah, it's getting nice.

I didn't sleep.

You're watching every highlight.

All right, we've done enough of this, we already did this. Come on.

You get any nice texts?

Yeah.

Uh, who anyone? Congratulate you here.

I did not, Jake texted me, Big cat texted me. I think that's it.

Wow, I verbally congratulate you. The first thing I said when I saw you was, what?

Yeah.

You said, and you did at halftime when you left the office.

Yeah, oh yeah, I did it early.

So Memes and Max did not.

Memes and Max did not. Memes was Memes was quick to post. You know, the third share, yeah, but the Bald head got rave reviews.

So yeah, it does, it's nice, good.

Oh, how about Missoula, by the way, coaching on a torn meniscus?

I know.

Fucking beast.

Yeah, we'll ask him.

Yeah.

Yeah, so, uh, okay, we're going to take, I mean, we can keep going.

I can, we can honestly talk?

No i do.

I do have one more stat here. So Peyton Pritchard, Yeah, the king of last second shots in the gambling cave, we called it before it happened.

Yeah.

The slow-mo cams that are great, uh, I mean, it just takes like 10 steps. Yeah, knowing that in and cause in real time, it doesn't. You're not going to catch that, but when they have the N.BA Phantom cam, it's great to see.

Yeah, uh okay. So we'll talk about the Stanley Cup and then we're going to do Hot sequel, Okay, pft.

That was the series.

That's what they kept on saying, I love that. They're like, don't let it, don't let us drag you back to Edmonton, don't let us do it.

So Connor McDavid should just do that every single time, if he's capable of doing that, just do that more. And I think that's the key to the game, not to get old, technical and in the weeds when it comes to hockey strategy. But just have Connor McDavid go one on four and then make a sick pass at the end, and that's pretty much unstoppable.

Yup, easy, and actually even the even the end, when when the goalie gets pulled and you're like, Okay, game's over. The Panthers survived. Like multiple times, where I thought there was going to be an empty netter and kept you on the edge of their your seat. And it was just a great, great hockey game.

I'm, I'm, I'm putting this on the nation of Canada, our hat, our neighbors to the north, uh, Canada, do the right thing, give us seven games. This is a legacy series for Canada. Need to need to just buy some time before we get into dog days. If the hockey is going to be this good, I want more of it.

I agree, I agree. Um, what did Connor McDavid? he had? Uh, what do you have?

I think two goals and two assists.

Yeah, he was crazy.

Uh, the the save that could Chuck made at the end is going to not be talked about. Maybe, you know what? I actually think that now that I'm saying it, uh, we'll say nobody's going to talk about the contract save. A lot of people are going to talk about that part of it. But it was awesome hustling at the end and he should have knocked the net off. It's mornings.

Great hockey, great fucking hockey. And we got a game six dragging all the way back to Edmonton on Friday night. Uh, before we do hot seat, cool, thrown back to ourselves. Hank, I know that we talked about Aura. Have you seen the video that is now circulating?

No.

Oh, can I send it to you and get a live reaction? Max? I'm sure you have seen this.

No, I feel a reach.

No, it's not a reach at all, it's not a reach at all. It's just a mashup. It's a fun mashup and I want you to watch it. And everything I said stands.

This is after what we talked, we talked about all of it.

I know we did, but this is the new mashup that I didn't realize is all of it.

What are they going to say now? Like, Steph Curry is not the only person that said that there's no like, it's a. It's a video of Jason Tatum saying what they're going to say now, and then Steph Curry saying it. I would have to imagine that said, in, like a majority of Championship locker rooms after win.

No, but it's a little bit tougher after he's already done it two other times in the same.

Night with other people, the KG one. He didn't say anything is possible.

He did.

He, he said he was trying to do.

His body language.

Art is interpretation, you're interpreting that way like that's he didn't copy Kevin Garnett. If you're saying that. Steph Curry has trademarked the phrase What they going to say now, that's crazy.

That was what was there, was there another one in there.

No, this is a good video.

This is a very interesting video and it's from a Hater report. I'm going to have to give Hater Report a follow.

Yeah, it's pictures of him hugging the trophy, and then a picture of MJ and Colby hugging the trophy.

Every fucking player, that part, that part was a reach, that part was a reach, that part was a reach. I completely agree.

You know what he did right after he won?

What are they going to say now?

Hank, You know what he did right after they won, he sprayed champagne.

Yeah.

Oh what, yeah.

Just like just I can think of a couple of guys that have done that.

He sprayed champagne.

LeBron Michael Jordan.

Yeah, I mean, it's, it's probably a reach. I'm just, uh, I just. It was going viral on Twitter, so I thought we would talk about it, but that's fine.

Yeah, no, that's fair.

I do like the caption.

I don't think Tatum should apologize for anything. I'm on your side, Hank, I'm just pointing this out.

Are you saying that? What they're going to say now is is Steph, I can't get over that one like that one is such a reach.

I think Steph Curry has a trademark.

I can't even like.

What they going to say now, Have you heard it?

What they going to say now?

All right, let's you know what. Google will decide, what they.

See what the Google trend on that is.

There's probably a book written about it about, like, the Fucking First.

First hit is Steph Curry.

Wait, hank.

I'm saying Jason Tatum.

Hank, what were you going to say? There's probably a book written about it.

Yeah, about like the fucking St. John's Chicago men's basketball team from 1990, or something like.

What they going to say now? St. John's, Chicago.
