Sending into the Weekend, now streaming on Apple TV Plus. You're the Marine. Yeah, you the ex-con.

Yeah, I did time, but you only got to cast aspersions at me. From the director of Mr.

And Mrs Smith and the Bourne Identity comes a new film. It's your first job. I know what I'm.

Doing A little Late for a Career Change, starring Matt Damon. Everybody in New England is after us and Casey Affleck.

The Instigators Redditor now streaming on Apple TV Plus. Okay, let's go, boy.

Boy.

Now in the street, there is violence and lots of work to be done.

No place to hang out or wash in. And then I can't name all under sun. 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 a part of my take, presented by Marshall Sports.

Head, let's go hank, let's do it hank. I think you're gonna look good, hank.

Watching the show, I don't, he's shaving it right now, live on air, he's gonna look good.

Other sports? I think, you know, it's I'm a man of my word. This show is built on being a man of your word. I said, I was going to do something, uh, and I'm doing it, so, you know, at someone.

Someone here has to be accountable. Yeah, it seems like you should just celebrate what you're doing right now instead of trying to make a pointed reference. Well, I don't want to do it like.

You know, some people when they don't want to do it, they just kind of avoid it or say, blame other people and say they can't do it. No, it's memes fault. I don't really want to be doing this.

You can appreciate that I would do it as a man that knows how tough memes can be to work with. Memes ruin the scheduling of the perm, but this isn't about my perm, Hank, this is about I didn't, I didn't bring up your perm.

Be a bald guy, yeah. Memes said, Uh, when you? when we went down to just this, so you got, you got it, obviously buzzed first, now you're getting it fully shaved, memes said. If you just added, uh, some muscle, you'd just be every dude from Long Island.

The eyebrows, I think it really exposes how I don't know I gotta do something with them. We can clean them up, yeah.

You guys have golfed together a couple of times, everybody Hank knows has played golf with him at some point. Yeah, yeah, who doesn't go off with their barber?

Best score? Thank you, you do look good. There is like a slight prison vibe going on, yeah.

Be honest with me, I don't, I don't need to hear that shit. I know I look like a like a psychopath.

SHANK LOCKWOOD Yeah, I feel like if I see this guy, he's wearing a Celtic jersey, probably has a knife in his belt. But I do think you look good. And the way that you can tell that you actually look good is because right when you started to get shaved, memes goes off, fuck, he actually looks good.

That you look okay, yeah, yeah, I mean, if you again, when Derek White and Pritchett were here, if you told me right, then that the Celtics would win the championship. I just have to shave my head. I'm making that bet 10 times at a time.

All right, so we'll, we'll update once you get fully shaved. Uh, we do have news, we have. J.J. Redick is now the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Anything. It's important to have representation in the media. So growing up, if you're a kid out there with a podcast, you can look at J.J. Redick and say, I too. One day can coach the Lakers. And I mean, a little behind the scenes here. But this kind of means that that Tommy Alter is the secret advisor to the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. So I think that that makes us very powerful, too.

Come on this show. Uh, now that he's the Los Angeles Lakers head coach, you think he's going to pretend that we never existed? Yes, probably. I think that's a safe bet. I think he'll still throw us a bone once in a while.

Champion precedent's been set. It's a good point. But also at the same time, there might be a guy on the team that probably doesn't want him to come on to part of my team. He already was doing.

A podcast with that with said guy, Oh, are you talking about Lebron? Yeah, actually, that's that's our true representation. We could be LeBron as well, we could.

Could be LeBron, I'll be J.J. LeBron gives me visibility because you can be a podcaster that loves to drink. Yeah, and now I'm like, okay, I could also be a multiple time NBA champion.

Yeah, exactly. So I mean, good for JJ, Congrats to JJ. I think we all thought this was going that way. It is a very weird story on the surface level.

Talking about right now, do you think they're going to keep the podcast going? I think they have to. And then maybe this was just this, might've been a play by both of them just to increase the podcast numbers, true?

How about we just work together? For the Lakers, that's a great fucking point. PFT. And I want it on the record that, uh, we've always done this podcast. Natural, we've never, we've never dated Taylor Swift.

Run the ball every day. That's all we do, and we do the podcast because we do the podcast.

Yeah, while Hank gets his head shaved. Yeah, we're not about gimmicks. No fuck that.

Yeah, we need to figure out. We were talking about maybe Hank dating Beyonce, stealing her away from Jay-z as a possibility, uh, maybe Max hooking up with Sexy Red, maybe maybe memes getting Cardi B pregnant. Yeah, but I just thumbs up that.

I could see Jake, I could see Jake being the first. What would it be, though? What would he? His wife would be? The president? Yeah, the first dude.

See that happening? Very cool. Jake Yeah, very cool. Um, it was not. It was very nice to see all the all the love and support that Jake got to.

It a lot, yeah, it was. It was one of those moments. We. We've been doing this for a long time and we're now faced against the juiced ball. Uh, podcast era. But we have, I think through the years, uh, built a community and fans that will ride with us no matter what. And we we love you so much for that.

Listens to the show? Yeah, we, we appreciate that, and Jake, I talked to him earlier, he really, really appreciates everybody.

Yes, um, okay, what else we got? Oh, the Pistons fired their coach. I think that this makes the.

Job opening in Detroit way more attractive because you can go there for a year, get fired and still get paid for the remaining four or five years that you have on your contract. Yeah, that's.

A destination I want to part of. How much money is Monty Williams made in the last few years to not?

Coach a lot, not as much as what I, yeah, I mean, I would. I think he's a great coach and I think that somebody is probably going to hire him, uh, for a decent job in the near future. But getting paid money not to work is the American dream. And so that's ultimately the best thing that you want to be looking for when you're a coach, which is why I would want to coach the Pistons. Yeah, get.

Fired six years, 78. Uh, and a half million dollars is the contract he signed last year. Was it six years? I don't know. It was 78 and a half million.

Million to not work and you can move out of Detroit, and that is the best deal ever.

You had no longer have to coach a 14 win team. That's so good the Pistons are. I do feel a little bit bad for the Pistons, just in the fact that we talked about it. When they did the lottery, um, they've had just the worst lottery luck possible. Because they've been the worst team in the N.B.A. for three years running and they keep getting the fifth pick, yeah.

Uh, like, have a Twitter account or a Twitch stream with polls on it. They should just have that run the Detroit Pistons and make all the personnel decisions, all the, uh, rotation adjustments, just have it be done by committee of Pistons fans. I like that a lot, I like that a lot.

But yeah, he's living the dream, he's, he's able to do, uh, nothing, and get paid millions and millions of dollars. My hair is fucked up right now. Damn same.

You got to get a little tan on, but that'll happen, but don't get burned. Yeah, what are?

You going to do about golf, are you going to wear a hat? cause you can't wear a hat now? As a bald man? Oh, I'm wearing hats all summer, but then every time you take it off, you're going to look crazy.

We'll clean them up. How long till the hair grows back to what it was before you shaved it? two months? JOEL Yeah, okay.

Yeah, he is, he's got that testosterone bump and throw big summer of hank, summer of hank, um.

Other stories I had, I'm going to get some two pays. Yes. Finally, some experimentation I love.

That, uh, the golf visor that's got the funny spiky hair poking through. yeah, like yellow hair.

That'd be good. Look on you. Did you guys see the N.C.A.A is trying to screw up the tournament again? Yeah, 72 to 76 teams.

Hank, you look like you're ready, man. I'm ready. Anything for the team coach? yes.

Uh, coach wants to say something to you though. Hank. Yeah, hank, I forgot to tell you this. The.

Other day, but I saved a seat for you on the duck boat with me. Tomorrow, let's go on the coach's.

Duck boat, Are you serious? Yeah, he can't wear a hat, right? no.

That's no pro or sunscreen, whatever you need, whatever you need, oh.

Coach, you're the best. I'd love to have you. Uh, spend the day with us. I appreciate it.

That's be there. Thank you. It's incredible. you're the best coach. Thank you so much for hopping back on to to offer that.

Be tough to beat the make a wish allegations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Hank, do you have a strategy?

In terms of, uh, how are you going to pace out your drinking? No, okay, that's a bad strategy.

Yeah, you just got to go for it. The other special guest we had was, um, our good friend Max. I wanted to see what his take was on that I had him join the join the Zoom as well.

Refusing to, Oh, come on. This is the equivalent of when he takes off his headphones and just sits.

Back, he doesn't want to give the people what they want, Max.

Why? Where is he? He? Just like, 10 minutes ago, he said, I'll be in in five minutes, it just hasn't joined. I see his name.

Right, damn, that sucks. I told him to join. All right. Well, we'll get, we'll get our thoughts.

From Max, he might've joined and then and then left. What can we do with it? Thread them up, hank, are you? Are you thinking they look too bushy?

What it is, you're just not used to it. It's fine, it's all about, I mean, I don't really give a.

Fuck, I'm going to be on the duck boat, I really just don't. I mean, that means you're going to be on the duck boat with the trophy at some point, yeah.

Yeah, if you're a cool hang, do you have any like any thoughts? In the off chance that this hank go say a word on the microphone? This is crazy. No, I'm not going to do that.

Going to be respectful, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm coach's guest. I can't. I gotta be somewhat, somewhat in control, but good luck, who knows? I mean, this is might be the biggest day of your life.

Mean, I can't, you're going to be. I actually can't believe that you're going to be. They're in a parade and a championship. God damn it this guy bro, thanks, he's on the team.

That'd be fucked, but Hank, you're going to be great, you're going to be great on this boat.

I love Hank too much that when he said it, I was actually pumped for him. Yeah, well.

There was some confusion. There was a lot of confusion in the past two days. Yeah, cause I I someone had Dave, like, I think, sent the wrong text to someone. It was like he's all set with Missoula.

Heard anything? So no, yeah, yeah, and I also, uh. I had Caitlin Walker book a couple of flights to make sure you get there at nine 30, and she accidentally sent it to your email.

There at nine 30.

I'd for 6.

Absolutely well, yeah, you're going to be. I'm very jealous of you. Hank. I think that this is going to be the best day ever you're going to. It's going to be surreal the entire you might.

Whole thing, it's real. My life is. Oh, here we go, we got the extra special guest, all right, Max, here he is.

Hey Max, where are you? Where are you? I'm having a sick vacation right now. Yeah, what? Driving across the country and moving?

Hank's looks like an alien. Well, all right, thank you. At least someone's honest, uh, Max.

Um, what you missed, cause you were, uh, in the middle of moving, in the middle of summer. Um, and you're what you're driving all the way from New York to Chicago this weekend.

Uh, no, I just drove from wait, Yes, Saturday, okay, Saturday.

So we need, yeah, we need you for something, so we need you to, uh, get clips for the social account for the part of my take social account. Because, um, Joe Missoula just joined the show and he, uh, asked Hank to be his personal guest on his duck boat.

Wait, what?

Thanks for the parade. He's going to be on Missoula's duck on the boat with coach.

So what am I supposed to do? You have to watch every second of it and get every clip of Hank.

There's going to be some great clips of Hank tomorrow.

So I just wait a minute, something just happened here.

What happened? Can you hear me? Yeah, we can hear you.

Is it worse now? No, you're fine. Okay, it's never good. Um, wait, so I just have to watch Hank on the duck boat.

Yeah, you got to make sure you get every clip.

What does that even mean? He's going to be? He's doing his own clips.

No, no, no, no, no, no, yeah, the TV footage like, he'll probably be on Sports Center, he'll probably, you know, I'm going to be all over that, for sure.

Sure, you're there watching anyway, yeah, and any of the clips that people post on social where they tag you in it. If you see any good, if you're at the parade and you get a good video of Hank, tag Philly Maze. To make sure that he can see it and then he can repost it from all our socials.

Yep, yeah, really excited. that sounds great, yeah.

Four months, yeah, but he, well, no. Missoula said. He can't wear a hat tomorrow.

Okay, so tomorrow will be the last time that we see Hank without a hat for the next four months.

Well, yeah, and you'll see a lot of them tomorrow, cause you're going to get all the clips.

Right, it's a good trade, though, you know? Yeah, yes.

I'm definitely going to do that, cause Hank's going to be doing a lot of awesome stuff that winners do, chugging beers and he's going to be so happy. So we want to make sure that people.

See that for visibility.

Yeah, it sounds like you are, you'll. You'll maybe get invited to a parade someday.

Almost, almost dead when?

Yeah, were you going to get invited to the parade? Oh, not the not the parade.

But was Sirianni going to have you next to him? No, Sirianni probably doesn't like me. Yeah, big Dom does, though, big Dom.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, listen, that's the thing. Like, Hank just won a title and he's going to be on a duck boat with the coach of the Boston Celtics. But at least you text with big Dom.

Wait, so you're going to be like, on the boat, yes, he's going. This is why we need all the.

Clips Max because it's such a personal guest he's literally on a duck boat with.

MISSOULA I thought you were on a draftkings boat. No, he's on the boat with the coach.

Of the Boston Celtics that just won an N.B.A. championship with multiple former Sixers.

Players, the trophy will probably be in Hank's hands as he raises it. And people cheer at some point tomorrow and you have to be there to get the clip.

Clips of Hank with Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum. Yes, Hank might even give a speech.

So you need to be diligent.

Work I've ever done for this show. Okay, good, good, good.

It's Friday, right? is Friday a weekday or a weekend? Hank is Friday a weekday or a weekend?

It's a weekday, it's a workday. Yeah, it's a workday, you've got to be working about that.

Yeah, true, true, it's a good point, yeah.

We don't want to put you on a pip, I want to be all over it. Okay, great, great.

With Joe Mazula.

When it all sunk in for Max, where I actually thought you were crying.

For what I mean, it's whatever I already I didn't know he was going to be on.

The duck boat. I knew he was going to be on this. Yeah, well, good luck with the move, Max.

That sounds fun, too. Yeah, I'm jealous. Honestly, as fun as my day sounds, I'd rather kind of be.

If I could switch with you, I would, yeah, moving, driving, yeah.

All right, thanks Max. all right. see you Max. have a good one.

You're on the boat. It's it's a the bus meme where one guy on one side is Max, and he's in the dark, gloomy side of the bus. And he's driving across the country in 95 degree weather, sweating, moving, and then on the other side, it's literally Hank Lockwood on the Champion's duck boat.

Yeah, man.

Maybe one thing, Summer of Hank, one thing, maybe you can investigate for me. Boots on the ground during the parade. How do duck boats work? How can you drive a car into the river and then it just works as a boat?

On a boat, basically, and you just pull the wheels up, yeah, but what about the engine? Doesn't the engine get in the water, put the engine up high?

The Yeah, so this is all things I need to know about the duck boat. There's engines in boats.

I'm very curious about how it works. Can't. Aren't there, like, some cars that can do that? Yep.

Planes, some planes, some planes on the water. Yeah, yeah.

More about the duck boat experience. All right, um, we were talking about the uh, NCAA tournament. The NCAA is trying to move the tournament to an expanded field. This is going to suck.

Yeah, so 72 to 76 team tournament plans is what they're trying to do. Yeah, by eight.

They're planning on, uh, changing it by four or eight teams. 64 teams is perfect. It's well, I like the 68 we had this debate, but the six, yeah, they just don't need to add.

More bubble teams? Yeah, we don't need that at all. Also, you know, what's good for the tournament is having debates about bubble tea, correct?

Is the idea that we have that you? If you have a certain allotment of bubble teams, if you want to expand it, eight teams, all eight of those teams should have to play.

Right after the brackets announced, Yeah, I like that. They maybe they do, like almost a second conference tournament, except it's just for Bubble team, that's the.

Part That's a bubble conference, everyone has a chance to get in. Yes, what the con?

Perfect system. Yeah, you're like giving an extra conference tournament to team, yeah.

Um, all right, do we have anything else? Uh, before we get to our interviews? Um, are the Yankees and the Orioles done, being being beating each other? I don't know.

Pegging each other? I don't know that. I think they're pegging each other pretty hard right now. They are doing a lot of pegging. Uh, yeah.

Maybe the pegging will stop. Yeah, I'd agree with that. Oh, I did have one more thing. This is, uh, this is to bring it.

Hank and the boys, Oh yeah, this is my fire fest. It was okay. We'll save it, we'll save it.

Right, I mean, it's not even a fire fest, no, but it's a very funny thing that you went mega viral without realizing it this week. Yes, uh, okay.

You're the Marine, Yeah, you're the ex-con. Yeah, I did time, but you don't got to cast aspersions at me. From the director of Mr.

It's your first job, I know what I'm doing. Oh, Late for a Quick change, starring Matt Damon. Everybody in New England is after us and Casey Affleck. What are you doing?

Taking notes on a criminal conspiracy, the instigators read it are now streaming on Apple.

TV plus summer is the best way to run the way you want, dial it up with new challenges and programs and bring your workouts with you. To make the most of outside sunny days with the beautiful summer weather, I've been trying to stay consistent with my fitness just to stay in shape for beach season.

Slash running Okay, here he is, NBA champion Derek White.

When Joe put the pressure on him, it was going to get done. Yeah, yeah, he had no choice. I got a.

Question for you just about anatomy really do you consider is the face part of your head?

Does that mean the beard, too?

So, Derek, do you have any tips for Hank once he goes full? because Hank, have you ever been fully shaven? Bicked? No, never. he's never. So. Is there anything that you need to tell him?

Probably put some sunscreen on your head. you don't want to get a sunburn on the head.

I don't know. Enjoy it, enjoy the process. Yeah, does he have to put like moisturizer?

Lotion, anything like that, any special care? Yeah, yeah, moisturizing lotion. You know, you don't want to be looking ashy on the top of your head.

But it looks, yeah, yeah, he's going to look good, so Derek, you look good. I just saw that big smile.

I mean, at first I thought like my whole tooth was gone. I'm like, my tooth is gone. I'm like, Oh no, it just chipped. I'm like, Oh, let's go, yeah.

This is maybe a really dumb thought that I had in the moment. But you win a title, it's the peak of your professional career, you probably can't be happier. Was there a small part of you that was like, God, damn it?

Pictures or anything. I didn't smile at one picture. Yeah, I closed like the entire time and like, for that moment, I was like, Yeah, I wish my tooth wasn't, yeah.

Lot of fun, yeah. What was the environment like in the locker room afterwards? Who was who was?

Celebrating the hardest.

Hard? Yeah, yeah, I mean, it was an incredible season, you guys accomplished so much.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, I felt confident going into the playoffs and I was excited to to play playoff basketball. I mean, there's nothing like it. And so I felt confident going in and just wanting to just do whatever it takes to help us win.

Ride, Yeah, is there? I I would imagine. Not because you just won a championship, but will do you think there'll be a moment in the next couple of days where you're like, Man, I wish we had a game.

Been so much fun these last two months. Yeah, no, but like being around the guys and like just the the team that we had, it was just a lot of fun. So I, I won't miss that part of it, but I'm really going to enjoy this championship. I can't wait for the parade tomorrow, it's.

Going to hopefully not get too lit. No, it's got to get too lit. Hank will make sure that it gets, yeah, get, get all the way lit, come on.

A good enough team where you might get back here again, but you never know, so you have to celebrate.

It like, It's your last time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, so during the finals, you guys are obviously already such an accomplished team with such good players. I don't know how much like a pregame speech matters, or if coaches even bother giving pregame pump up speeches and delivering certain messages. Or if it's just like, you know, your assignment, we've worked on this, go out there and let's execute. But did did coach give a pump up speech before the last game?

We had Nick Lavery come in and talk to us and he's talked to us throughout the whole year. Um, super bad-ass, uh, green beret, uh, amputee, like, went to war, he's crazy story, um. But he came in and talked to us and was just like, I'm looking at some soldiers right here.

We were going to win at that time. Yeah, you could feel it, yeah, what? Uh, what was the vibe like on Friday night after you guys lost in Dallas?

Yeah, um, I mean, honestly, I think, like before the game, everything's like, just like you're like, oh, it's almost over, like you can, like, just see it. And then like, you just get your ass kicked and you're just like, what just happened? But, um, I mean, I was like, Hey, we're still up three.

Let's do it. Yeah. I wonder, like, is that a human nature loss? In a way? In Game Four where it's like, you, you all say the right things, you think the right things, but it's pretty, it's, I would imagine. It's impossible not to have a creep in the back of your head where you're like, we could win a title tonight and having like the planning in the back of your head.

And then having that reset probably helped. Yeah, yeah, I mean, like, especially because I mean, outside of Drew, we'd had one before. And so, like, you just kind of, like, you kind of look ahead and there's still a really good team.

How good Peyton Pritchard is with 0.

That's like, my one thing like, I, I missed about it, cause, like, he subbed in for me and I like, walked straight to my teeth. And I just hear, like, I'm in the tunnel, I just hear the garden erupt and I'm like, what happened? And someone just like Peyton?

Yeah, is there a small part of you that's like, Man, how come he's better than me? In the last, like just second of every quarter? What is it about that? Is it? I know it's something that you guys practice, right?

That one earlier in the finals. But he's been doing it all season long and like everybody knows. Like into the quarter, like, you get the ball to pay and he's just gonna make the shot, obviously, and like, it's unbelievable. Yeah, there's two things.

He's really good at making those shots and also, uh, shooting free throws blindfolded.

Yeah, tough loss for us still to this day. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The Celtics took all year. Yeah, we're actually NBA champions. Yeah, yeah.

I do have a little bit of a bone to pick with you, though. Because, uh, when you came in in February and I told the story how I was in an elevator with you in, uh, October, yeah, it was October. And I, I awkwardly was like, Oh, yeah, our producers. A big Celtics fan. You're like, I know who you guys are. Um, why didn't you tell me then that you guys were going to win it all? That would have been nice.

I feel like you had a good feeling about us too. Yeah, I mean, I thought you guys were the best.

Team I Uh, I did think the Nuggets were the only team that would have given you guys a series, but I still, even if the Nuggets had made it, I think you guys would have won because you proved it out all year long. So it was, it was pretty like there's. There's very few titles that you can really look at. And I know that people will say, Oh, the East is easy, but losing three games in the playoffs is like, that says it all, right there.

A fun year like we never really had, like a drought like we were just consistently. Uh, that team and I mean, just to be able to win a championship is is unreal, yeah.

Do you think about that? Uh, like comparing yourself in this title run that you went on to other title teams in the past and just how you would stack up to other teams. Or are you just focused on enjoying how good it feels to win a championship?

Yeah, I mean, you, you think about it, you're like, I mean, we're one of the all time teams. Um, obviously I'm biased, and so I'm gonna say, but uh, just you. You think about it like you are just enjoying it like it didn't matter.

Was a report that came out, I think it was last weekend. I don't know if it's been updated yet, but apparently you're under consideration for the Olympic team. Um, to fill in for Kawhi if he can't make it. Is that something that you're thinking about, and is that, uh, is that any like? Has that progressed at all since last weekend?

That's funny, cause when that report came out, like that was when I found out about it, too. So I was just like, Oh, really like, Uh, I haven't heard anything. Um, so, but if I do get an.

Opportunity to play for sure. Yeah, yeah, great. By the way, J.J. Redick was just named a Lakers head coach.

Yeah, yeah, right, okay, but you can do the NFL.

I could do the, I could do the NBA. You just be like, Hey guys, hustle, rebound more.

Just roll the ball out there, here you go, right, what? Just make some threes.

Hey, it's a make or miss league. Got to make your shots. That's all I would say before.

Before every game to the guys, here's how I would coach the Lakers. I'd say, all right, LeBron, Um, we're drafting your son, so you're happy now.

Job Probably not, probably not. They don't want me all right.

Yeah, um, I mean, I, I thought about signing an extension, uh, before the season started, and um, and when that like deadline passed, I hadn't really thought about it too much. But, um, I know my agent and, uh, the team are going to talk. And I mean, I'd love to stay in Boston for as long as I can. And um, I'm hopeful everything's going to work out exciting. And uh, but yeah, at the moment I'm just going to enjoy the championship and we'll worry about.

That later, Yeah, Oh, I have a. I heard your kid screaming in the background. I have a dad to dad. Question Um, have you had that moment where you, like, had to get back into dad life? And like, take care of, like, clean a diaper or something, and you're like, God, damn it.

Yeah, this morning I had a had a change of, uh, a poopy diaper. I'm like, there's nobody else around me, like, I still gotta do this, yeah.

I would definitely, if I want a championship like I at least get a week. Yeah, let me get someone to help me out here. I just want to ring, yeah.

It's like, that 50 cent tweet like, Fuck this, I'm too famous. Yeah, that's probably good to.

Bring you back to bring you back to like, level like, Oh yeah, I'm still a dad. Yeah, the kids.

Change your perspective and, like, when you need it the most, that that's what they're here for.

Yeah, wait, how old is your oldest? Two? Okay, so you got to win some more so they can have, you know, clearer memories.

Youngest is seven months and he wasn't at the game, so I'm like, now I got to get another one.

For you, Dax? Yeah, yeah, Dax a fair weather fan. I don't know.

The court with the confetti. Yeah, yeah, like I got, I got a bunch of pictures and like, he was there when I was doing the interview and everything. So, um, that's gonna be pretty.

Cool to look back on, That's awesome, that's really cool. I got some advice for you during the parade. So there's always, it feels like there's always one player on a team, uh, right after the winning championship. They might be in the middle of a contract negotiation.

At that point, yeah, I just told my boy that, like earlier today, I was like, every parade, there's always one lie, at least out there. I'm not trying to be a part of that, yeah.

Also, do you could do a little bait and switch where you're like, uh, like Steve Kerr did it, uh, in the I think it was 97.

You get them like that. That's an all time. I don't know, I got to think of something.

Pretty creative to top that, but yeah, yeah, that one, yeah, yeah, yeah, so um, with, uh.

With the injury that was that, uh, happened to KP, we were talking about it before. Game was a game for game three. We didn't think that he was going to be able to play on that at all and he's still out there, running around. Did you get a sense for how bad that injury was, and, uh, was it something that you were surprised that he came back from?

Uh, yeah, I, I still don't know really what it was, um, and what it is. And so you could just tell he, like, really wanted to play and like, a game three, like he was out with a game for like. They said he was active. But like, I'm like, I don't know how, how well you're moving right now and shoot around, uh, but with KP, you never really know. Like before game one, he wasn't moving too great and then he has a crazy first half.

Us out, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you talked to, uh, Blake Griffin at all?

Have you spoken with him since you won? No, I haven't spoken to him yet. But I know that would be great that if Blake was on our team and he could have a ring for his great career, but um.

What I said, I told you guys, he should have a ring. He said. No, I think he should have a ring. Yeah, I think Blake deserves a lifetime achievement ring, yeah.

You know, I'm sure that we can send them one. Yeah, let's make it happen. Uh, so right.

Right now, Hank is still waiting to get his hair shaved. Right now, he's just he just looks good. I think I just got a good haircut and a beard trim, and then he sent the barber on his way and.

Said, Okay, that your service is no longer required. Yeah, he looks awesome right now. this is the last. you're going to look awesome. I'm excited.

I mean, just at first like, moment when, like, they just go straight over, they like. I was like, damn, this is really happening. But I mean, I, I'm cool with this, so I think Hank's going to be.

Great with us. Yeah, good, good showers are going to be so easy now. Hank, you don't. You don't have to worry about shampoo, conditioner, you just get in, rinse, get out through.

Also find, like a whole community of women that love bald men for a whole summer summer hank.

Back on, you might get hired as the D coordinator for Pete Carroll. Yeah, all these things could.

Happen, it could happen. Yeah, oh, streamline less. He's making progress.

Made a lot of progress in the last couple of months. What like six inches, four inches of vertical sex, so you're tracking to be able to dunk? Yeah. Speaking speaking of the, uh, the executive side of things, did, uh, did Brad Stevens? did he show up in the locker room?

He getting torn up after the game. Uh, yeah, he was there at the beginning, um, and then, like we had media, I didn't see him again. So, um, we might've snuck out the back somewhere, I think.

If there's one person I want to see absolutely hammered at the parade, it's Brad Stevens. Yeah, that would be, that would be very funny, that would be fun, so you'd probably get a cop, would probably come up and id him.

How does it work with Brad Stevens? Cause he obviously, like, picked you out and traded for you and saw in you, like, what you've become as a player. Is there a special bond with him? Where he's like, you know, obviously there's other guys who believed in you, but he specifically was like.

Derek White is a perfect piece for this team. Yeah, yeah, no, it's been amazing. Uh, I mean, he's a great basketball mind.

Well, Derek, this has been awesome. We really appreciate you taking some time. Uh, especially.

With a busy week, I got one last question. Hey sports fans looking for a new show to binge? Check out Mr. Throwback on Peacock. Follow Danny A. down on his luck memorabilia dealer looking for redemption by reuniting with his middle school teammate, NBA legend Steph Curry.

Who do we think is going to be drunkest at the parade?

So my dad said, he's like, I just seen a Reddit post and I was one of the top vote getters. Okay, are you going to be up there? I was like, Uh, I mean, I could see that, so yeah, probably, I'll probably be up there.

Yeah, Wisconsin guy, yeah, he can drink, yeah.

Like, Eastern Europeans can really put them back. Yeah, they got a high tolerance, so they're probably not. He's not going to be the drunkest, but he might have the most to drink, yeah.

This will look normal. Yeah, he's the most likely for me to like crowd surf. Or like, you know, a clip of someone throwing them a beer or something like that. Yeah, gronk style on the boat.

Oh, this podcast is brought to you by eHarmony, the dating app to find someone you can be yourself with. Have you ever been on a date where it feels like the other person is speaking an entirely different language, not actually a different language? But it's like you're both just completely not getting each other. I've been on a first date before with a woman that didn't like golf. She was a workaholic, she didn't like vacations, and it was clear she didn't get my personality. And it showed.

And now here's Adam Thielen.

Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, Miss Carolina. Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen and we're also. Adam Thielen is about to get ready to play in the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in Tahoe, which we will be there. So let's start there. We got some football questions, but let's start with golf. What are we thinking going into this? Are we thinking you're going to win it?

Well, unfortunately, I can't. Uh, I can't give a guarantee. Uh, you know, three young kids at the house makes it a little difficult to give a guarantee. But I will say I'm never going into that tournament thing. I'm not going to try to go win it. So, uh, I'm going to do everything I can. I got to simulate the house.

Life, Yeah, we're, we're so pumped. This is one of those events that we've, like, circled for many years, being like, why aren't we out there? and finally we're going to go out there.

So I'm a one right now. I started the season as a zero, cause I usually grinded down to about a zero going into Tahoe, and then I played maybe one round after Tahoe. And then it's like, Boom, training camp, don't touch a glove for six months.

So you actually could win this thing. Who would you say is your biggest competition?

So there's like 10 guys, probably maybe a few more, that have legitimately have a chance to win. You know, I think every year it's pretty much Marty Fish. Um, you know, Mark Mulder Smoltz, um, you know, Pavelski. I mean, there's, there's, there's more guys, but those are the guys that kind of usually win it or are right there at the end. I mean, obviously Curry won it last year, he won't be there, but um, but he's always a guy that's that's in the top 10..

And then I probably won't finish. Do you think maybe your dad's lying to you? Maybe he's just jealous that you're so good at golf, so he just tells you that he gets all these holes in one?

So that way, just it pisses you off. Well, that's a good point because every time I play with him, he thinks like, you know, I, my brother? The strongest part of my game is I hit the ball a long ways. I always said since I was little, even when I was 150 pounds soaking wet in high school. Um, and so my dad, whenever he plays with me, he thinks that he's going to, like, try to, like, hit it as far as me.

That I've got these whole ones, just so I have something. Yeah, yeah, uh, all right.

Uh, how much did it suck? Yeah, it was brutal, it was brutal. Um, you know, losing in any, you know, sport, obviously, or anything you do, losing is never fun, especially when you're a competitor. Um, and especially when you put so much into it, right?

Lot of that last year. Yeah, I like, and I obviously it's kind of a jokey question, but I'm more like, cause we're, we're obviously sports fans, we're watching all the games.

Yeah, 100. And then on top of that, like, you know, you should be a good leader. It's not. It's not what you're doing when you're winning, it's what you're doing when you're losing.

Lot of blessings, yeah. Is there something that you're working on this off season? Cause NBA players are always like, you know, I'm going to add this element, this wrinkle to my game. You've been in the league for a long time.

Your career? Yeah, for sure, I, I, and people are probably gonna laugh at this. I just saw a thing that came out saying that I'm the oldest active wide receiver in the NFL, which is wild, but I don't feel that way. But. But in that being said, I, I want to be the fastest I've ever been.

It sounds like you're 36, 37, you're 33, and that's going to be the oldest receiver in the NFL. That's kind of wild to think about. And when you came out of college, so you were undrafted, uh, and having to grind to make the Vikings. We've talked to our good friend Will Compton, he's kind of given us a peek behind the scenes about what it's like being an undrafted guy. And having to prove yourself all the extra stuff you have to do, especially that first year, what was the process like of you trying out for the Vikings?

Being undrafted, obviously now that I like, look back at it, it probably makes me more anxious or anxiety, or, like, uh, nervous, uh, looking back at it. Then I wasn't the moment in the moment. I was just like going to work, playing football, having fun. Not even really thinking about getting cut or what that looks like as an undrafted guy, especially. But um, but yeah, it's a wild process.
