It's a JFK revenge series.

It is, and we're ready to go. The N.B.A. finals are set. We had a moment, so we obviously had a week with Memorial Day.

Never been swept. That's important, It's important to keep a clean sheet on the sweeps. Adam SilVeR Very happy that we at least got one more game a little closer.

We still do.

We still do, still do. It could have been worse. They called him Scott Foster. Everyone was like, Oh, Scott Foster, the extender.

Yeah, I'd say they're not happy right now.

But getting to a Western Conference final? If you look at perspective in the Giannis terms, it was a good season for you, a good year.

They lost to a team that couldn't beat them.

Yeah, that's true. And also if you're a Timberwolves fan, God bless you because you have to root for Karl-Anthony Townsend he must be so infuriating to root for.

He got some stat padding tonight.

I'm just saying he is probably the hardest player to fully delude yourself into getting behind in the NBA.

Rudy Gobert's Pretty Fire.

But also, that's what I'm saying.

They're on the same team, I know, but I feel like you can be like Rudy. We don't expect anything from him on offense.

Which was a weird strategy. When they were like, let's run the offense through Rudy. In the first quarter, I think he had like six or seven shots.

They'll never see it coming. Yeah, but yeah. Karl-Anthony Townsend. To his credit, he played really, really well in Game 4, He did, he had a great Game 4..

Bounce back game.

He could not be as bad as he's been in the past, and yeah, he had that blip, that was his legacy. Game, yep, game 4..

And also, like, cannot wipe a smile off his face.

Yeah.

I was saying this, I can't remember, I didn't remember when I was saying this. Because it feels like all these weeks have just blend together. But when they show like going into break and they do the bumps and it's like Luka, like staring at someone.

Yeah.

This is my pumped up face.

This is my three-point dougie.

Yeah, he's kind of smiling and you're like, God damn it. Yeah, they were stat-padding tonight, also the Timberwolves. You lost the game the minute you went with those jerseys.

Terrible jerseys, terrible you got the good classic ones. Well, it's two things.

Max, I saw your face after I looked at him a little more, Max can't speak. So when I sat down next to him to watch the game, he's like, I was like, Yeah, the jerseys.

Yeah, jerseys are terrible.

That's exactly how it happened. He couldn't get it out, but I know his brain so well that when we flipped on the game, he just started making grunts. I was like, Max down, boy. I know the jerseys are different.

Those are okay, they're not back-against-the-wall jerseys. No, those are Game 2 jerseys, yeah.

Preferably, a game 2 of the season, yes, October.

That's an in-season tournament jersey. Yes, that's what you should be wearing that for. And then they made their half-court logo bigger, which is stupid. I like it when it's the only small logo in the league.

Another logo three Hank. I was saying before, we should maybe get some headphones for you for the Luka Glazing, so you can put them on so you don't have to hear.

No, bring it, give me one of your last couple.

This game was over, Get them in. This game was over. When Luka Doncic outscored the Timberwolves in the first quarter by himself, it's true he could not miss.

That's so many feet, yeah.

So it ties Steph Curry for most feet on shots made in first quarter playoff games.

It's huge.

On record.

In history.

Curry did it versus Boston in 2022.

I mean, that's incredible.

Those are the two best.

165 feet of shots, that's a lot of shots, Hank, that's a lot of feet.

So many feet.

You know how many feet the court is? 99? I think it's 94, right? Yeah, 94 feet.

That's a pretty impressive stat. Also. Are you okay with the glazing?

No, again, like, you're not gonna have many left, I want you to get them in while you can.

The Tuesday night's game, I know the Mavs lost and it was. I do, like, put a little, what are you gonna say?

I'm just, I don't know how you're gonna glaze Luca from Tuesday, but.

Yeah, I am, don't worry, I'm gonna land the plane and I made fun of the.

That's a pro, that's a pro Glazer, that's a what? No, I don't know.

What? Go ahead? No, go ahead, you're not getting upset, though.

Go ahead, Jay Glazer.

Yeah, I'm a pro glazer, okay? I do give the Timberwolves a little bit of credit for not giving up because they gave up tonight. But they didn't get swept. And I made fun of the Anthony Edwards quote.

And he had that kick out, drive pass.

Oh, the kick out drive pass that's going to go down as one of the best assists that will never show up. Yeah, it was one of the best passes I've ever seen, hit it off the back rim.

He threw a lob that Derek Jones was behind the three point line. Uh, when he when it released his hands, or, yeah, when Luca threw the ball and it was just a perfect, perfect pass. Luca's really good. Max I mean, uh, Hank, I just said, Max, he's a good player.

They're a good team.

Uh, he did have a really good point. He did have a heat check of a lob tonight, though. Yeah, he was feeling himself in the lobs a little bit. And he threw one that went, I think it went over the backboard, yeah.

It's a great lob, great, lob, good, all right. So that was my glazing of Luca.

Most feet and lob He had 20 feet worth of lobs.

Hank's acting all cocky right now. He was watching that game.

Oh, I wanted a good game, I wanted to keep watching basketball. I don't want to wait another week.

This is pathetic, what the T-Wolves are doing.

You're afraid of Luca, though.

I'm not. I knew we're playing the Mavs. There was no doubt in my mind we were playing the Mavs, yeah.

But you saw what Luca did in the first quarter.

Back to fiction, that was an embarrassing, disgusting performance in a elimination game from the Timberwolves.

Yeah, no, especially the second half when they were stat padding, I agree, but it was also the game was over because Luca.

That's just unbiased.

But you agree that the game was over when Luca came out and said, I'm going to beat the Timberwolves by myself in the first quarter.

I mean, the series was over when they went up 3-0.

Right? But that was when you go up 3-0 and then you lose game four. And then you go back to the other guy's gym. And it's like, Okay. If the T-Wolves come out hot here, we could have a interesting scenario. Luca basically shut that all down by himself. It was like, there's no, I'm giving you no hope, I'm giving you no chance.

It's a lot of feet.

It's a lot of feet.

Who the fuck tracks feet?

Jerry.

Who? But it's a lot of feet.

It's a lot of feet.

If there was, I will say that they're.

I love that Hank's getting triggered by him.

Yeah, you have the opposite of a foot fetish.

165 feet is just you're mad about that.

The Celtics almost did it last year, and obviously it's never happened in the NB.A. but when it does happen in the N.BA, it will happen. Almost like it did last year. And I thought, potentially maybe this year, where it's going to be the home team. If the Timberwolves win tonight, they somehow win game six, they have home game seven. Hank's very selective in his.

He's very selective in his opinions about feet because he does not like the feet stat, but all he thinks about is Kyrie Irving's feet. On Lucky's face, you can't count one foot and then not count the other. Do you not like feet? Is that why it didn't work out with him?

I've never been a foot guy. I don't really understand the appeal.

But 165 feet, that's a lot of feet, that's a lot of feet. Hank, you bring up a good point that the 3-0 coming back, it's very, very hard to do. Never been done in the N.BA. The only solace that I think Minnesota fans should have tonight.

I don't think there's a word to describe, we need to figure out, like we need to maybe invent a word like the Germans would do to describe Carl Anthony Towns. And how frustrating it is to watch him, if you're a fan of his, and to see how aloof he is in the biggest moments.

Well, I also. Carl Anthony Towns is a self-proclaimed best big man shooter of all time. I feel like you have to have post moves, like really good post moves, to be able to say that, to claim that.

Right?

You're just a tall shooter.

Otherwise, he's just kind of like a chubby Kd.

Right, you're a tall shooter.

Yeah, that's it, but you're not a big man. No, there's a difference between being tall and being a big man.

Yeah, back someone down in the post. But the solace for the Timberwolves fans because this was a very fun season. And it got a little crazy. With the Anthony Edwards hype, which was not Anthony Edwards fault, not Timberwolves fans fault, media, I took some blame for it as well. I fell in love with watching Anthony Edwards play basketball. This actually, in a weird way, you didn't have a classic Minnesota loss.

I think if you get to game seven and you get blown out like you did tonight, that's a Minnesota loss.

Yeah, but this was not a Minnesota loss. Because it was like, you know, you had the moment, like, Oh, we won one game, who knows what's going to happen? And then it was just over.

It's just the better team won.

Yeah, it was just over.

Well, that's it.

Anthony Edwards still doesn't know if they can beat him.

That's right, didn't get swept.

Didn't get swept. Kyrie also is playing insane basketball right now. Kyrie's a great player. Derek Lively is back, which is very important. I think he's their leader in plus minus.

Back, way back.

He posted it, I said, See you in the finals, all right.

I love that, all right, so let's talk about the finals.

Let's talk about it.

Let's talk about the final.

Can I glaze Lucky real quick?

Yeah, yes.

Let me glaze lucky, please, all right. Kyrie Irving has lost his last 10 games against Lucky.

And the Sage, remember, he saged it.

He saged it, yeah, but that Sage didn't take.

Sage didn't take. Do you think he'll resage?

I think he should resage.

Oh man.

You think he's going to resage?

What will you do if he resages?

I mean, saging is whatever, spiritual, I don't really have a problem with that.

But what would you do if he resages? Because that might be the sage that takes.

No, I mean, that's, it's, I think you believe in that, that's all for you, like that.

This could be a mistake.

The only way to defeat Sage is with crystals. Yep.

You got to give me the jerk off crystals.

You got to get some.

We could resage right back.

Oh yeah, get some sage for the gambling cave.

A few stages I will.

Hank, are you going? are you going to be on the wood at any point in this series?

I don't think so well, hey, I don't think Dave's inviting me. But even going to the Games, the schedule does not line up great for anything.

So you couldn't even sage if you wanted to.

We'll see, I mean, we'll see. I got to, I got to. The schedule sucks for me going being able to go to a game. Which I'm sure everyone was wondering, Yeah, I'm sure everyone was curious, like how, how that was going to factor in, and that's the answer.

What about in a week?

It's not good for that either. Until, like, Game six, game and Game three, we're, I guess, Dave said it, we're going to the Brady.

What?

Or Game Three?

Why would they do that? Wednesday, June 12th is game three, Friday, the 14th.

Yeah, so why would they do that? because they try to do 612 for Brady, I guess.

Why wouldn't they just do it in the middle of the day?

That's what I thought it was until today.

It's at night.

According to Yeah. I was listening to to Kirk and Dave on The Name Show, and Kirk was like, it's at night. It's supposed to end at nine 30, which I guess will be like, it's at Foxborough.

So you're going to be with the lighthouse? Yeah, oh, that's nice.

Yeah, that's nice, good consolation prize. Yeah, that's huge.

Don't bring it up on the Jumbotron.

You should move it.

Yeah, I'm curious, I don't know what they're, I'm. I'm curious what they're going to do. I thought it was just like a day ceremony.

You'd be in a suite.

I don't know.

If you're in a suite, then you're fine.

I don't know what Mr. Kraft's got in store for us.

You said a lot of bad things about the dynasty.

Yeah.

It'd be a shame if Mr. Kraft got ahold of that. Before you were his personal guest, what were you saying about him getting jerked off? I had nothing.

Oh, do you think? uh, you think Joe Mazula's jujitsu instructor is just?

I said it, not you. Hank, Hank loves Mr. Kraft.

Uh, what do you think? Well, I'm not going to say it again, all right, I'll say it again. You think Joe Mazula and Giselle had the same jujitsu person?

It is possible. I mean, what are you going? what is it?

UH, 612.

What is it?

It is Tom Brady's retirement ceremony and who invited him induction into the Hall of Fame. Well, not me personally.

He should have invited you personally.

The Brady four were invited, yeah.

You went to, you went to prison for him.

I did. Let's start with the finals.

Did they drop those charges, by the way?

Uh, in Florida, yeah.

No, no for another one hank when Hank got arrested.

Oh, oh, yeah.

Drop those.

Yeah, six months, no bad behavior.

Nice.

Nice.

Uh, Hank, how are you feeling? I? I'll say this right now, I have to look into this series some more, I have to crunch.

You've been saying that for a month.

Well, the series hasn't started, true. I'm going to look into some series, but I'll give you my gut knee jerk prediction, which I will not be held to cause.

I, I'm thinking Celtics and six.

That's my gut knee, Jerk.

I think it's going to be, it's going to be a role player series, I think it's going to come down to. You know, our demons will start. Obviously. Stop Kyrie and Luke as much as they can. They're going to make them, you know, pass the ball. Their guys have been hitting shots all playoffs if they can, but it's going to be the same for us.

The way we have better role player, the way Luke has been playing, the way Kyrie's been playing. I think this is a weirdly like Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown. Like, they are going to step up to the challenge because it is the ultimate challenge of these two guys and Luca especially being anointed, the number one guy.

They know Kyrie, Jalen Brown has played Kyrie, he knows he knows his game, he knows what he's got to do. They, you know, match up in practice for years.

Wouldn't, could you say the same, though?

Oh, he didn't think about that.

Yeah, cause Jalen doesn't like. Sometimes it takes a while for people to realize he can't dribble left.

Yeah, but it's Jalen. neutralizing Kyrie is better for the Celtics than Kyrie neutralizing Jalen. That's true. That's, if they neutralize each other, then the Celtics come out on top.

I think the Celtics have a better, uh, like depth and and Drew Holliday is going to be important in this series.

Drew Holliday and Porzingis That's the biggest difference. That's what makes me feel much better about this series, even though I felt pretty good against the Warriors. But Drew, Holliday and Porzingis, just make, you know, are going to be the reason we win that.

What's your knee Jerk gut reaction?

My gut reaction is Celtics in five.

Love it, love it.

I think so I'm a bigger Celtics fan than Hank is. I guess, yeah, he said. Cause like, I was thinking about our role players, and I actually think that they're. I would say that Jalen over cancels out Kyrie.

Max just put up a stand, I disagree.

What do you disagree with, Max? what do you think?

I think that this is going to be a very close series, it's going to come down to very tight games at the end. And one team has two guys that have proven to be excellent closers against very good teams in this playoffs, and the Celtics have looked a little iffy.

I mean, that doesn't sound like Max came back.

We were down in the fourth quarter and three games in the Eastern Conference finals against.

Shit, pacers.

They made it to the Eastern Conference finals. Max.

Yeah.

Playing against four teams who didn't have their best player.

You know what, Celtics in four?

I mean, listen, the Mavericks, like, you can't debate.

Like, did the Celtics close? you? said that they had better closers? Did the Celtics close those games or not? Fact or fiction?

One of the patients just gave them the game.

Okay, so it wasn't so like if a closer comes in and makes no outs.

Yes, but it's you can't watch those games. And you watch the Mavericks and you see what Kyrie and Luca did and hit incredible shots against, like all odds to win those games.

What about when the Celtics were down three with, didn't have the ball with eight seconds left and won the fucking game?

The patient talk about it.

Got it, got it. So now it's nothing to do with Jalen Brown, nothing to do with the Celtics, just the Pacers threw them the ball.

You know what, the Pacers lost that game.

But if Jalen Brown misses the shot, you had to make the shot right, correct.

Correct, that's a good, that's a good shot.

I think the harder you work, the luckier you get. How about that? And one team has lucky on their side, and that's the fucking Boston Celtics. To me, this is lucky legacy, it's a lucky legacy series.

I said it Tuesday, though, you can't, you can't ding the Celtics for who they play when they've been, they lost two games.

They're the best team in the N.BA, what about the regular season? Max, does that matter? Did they just play tomato cans then to you?

I mean, I've heard you say that, but with that, said Hank, you have to say like, when someone says who's been more tested in these playoffs, the Mavericks have been more tests for sure. So it's a fascinating series. Because it basically is like, if you take who the Celtics have played and you're like, will they be up for the Mavericks test? There's a chance like, Oh shit, they're nowhere near the Mavericks. I don't think that's what's going to happen, but it's like. The stakes for your happiness are so wild right now. Because you could either win a championship or you could get absolutely clowned on the internet.

And that's why, Max. Something you'll never understand, like, you just have to go all in. I'm not going to be scared, I'm not going to be worried about it.

I disagree with that, Max goes all in all the time, He goes in all the time. I will disagree with that. He goes in all this.

I'm looking at Game six right now, Game six NBA finals, if necessary, Thursday, June 20th, in Dallas, Texas.

Yeah, well, that's, they're all show recording days like that's where it's like, I don't want to, you know?

You don't want to rob the people.

Ask for a vacation.

I appreciate that.

No, I'm not talking about vacation, I didn't say anything about vacation.

Where's Game Seven? When's Game Seven?

I don't have that in front of me right now, but I do know that. Game six.

I think game seven.

Game five is Monday in Boston, Sunday, the 23rd.

Sunday, the 23rd.

Tickets are fucking insane.

We'll be at the Beer Olympics. You hell, yes, I'm so pumped.

That one.

You could go to Dallas and do the show.

Oh, you're, oh, that one you were going to go to game seven.

Well, I mean beer Olympics.

No, I'm talking about Game six.

Yeah, okay, down.

Under certain circumstances.

There's a certain person that's not going to like hearing this. What? I have a lot of confidence in your trivia team.

Oh my god.

Oh, that would be so fucked.

You guys are about to go on a magical run. Yeah, yeah, game seven.

I mean, yeah, we're also not going to.

So Vegas, you won't go to Vegas with us for Beer Olympics.

I'll come Monday.

You're backing out, it sounds like he's backing out.

We need you for the show.

You just said I could go to Dallas, but I can't go to Boston.

I think there's more content to be had in Dallas, that's true.

Also, you could go. That would be hilarious if you won the N.B.A. finals while we were in Vegas. And you could just do like a one man like party, go to Hawkinson.

He's like, they probably fly out, not actually.

Yeah, they definitely would, they'd probably be.

We're not getting ahead of ourselves, we're not we're focused on Game One, we're focused on Game One.

You think the Celtics are going to fly directly to Vegas that night? They might.

Maybe they do, like they usually go after the parade, so you have to stay in Vegas, you can stay in Vegas.

No, I don't think so. I think this is appropriate. It's cocky hank.

I don't give a fuck if the Celtics what you just said, the happiness thing is true. If the Celtics lose this championship, it's going to be embarrassing. Just retire from the internet for the summer, probably until the next basketball season.

Wait, so you'll just go silent when your team loses.

They're talking about the podcast Max, which is my job.

Not just silent Max, he's also talking about. He's going deaf too, got it, got it, he's not going to hear or see and blind.

He can't type.

They're talking about actually speaking words, you're talking about social media, which is not part of my job.

Yes, it is.

Not my personal.

Yes, it is, 100 it is.

Is it?

100 it is. He's just screaming back here. They track that. yeah, they track that when you ask us to, you know, retweet the dunkumentary.

I didn't ask that.

I will if you dunk.

I'm just so excited, okay? So I'm excited to see Hank with so much on the line, that's going to be a real treat.

It really is because if the Celtics had been tested along the way in the Eastern Conference finals, again, not their fault. And you get to the finals like, Oh man, they lost this everyone. There are so many people who are entrenched with, like, the Celtics are not good and the Mavs are way better.

I'm pretty sure. I mean, you tell me, you guys are unbiased more than me. But it feels like the general public. It's like 80 20 Mavs or just not Celtics.

Yeah, because the Mavericks, I don't know.

No one wants the Celtics to win. What do you know?

The first line will get, Whose line is it anyway?

I think Celtics minus three and a half is maybe like five.

See, I think they're, I think, I think once we get to it, what is it?

Sick.

See, I, I, I. I think the Celtics, as weird as the Eastern Conference playoffs have looked because of all the injuries and all the teams going down. Like, Celtics are still a fucking awesome team. They this is a very even series. Yeah, that's why I haven't Celtics in seven.

With the Mavericks, it's like, Luca is so fucking good, you can't deny how good he is. He's just at the top of his game, at the top of the league, and he's also a dick. So a lot of people they appreciate him for how good he is, but they're also like, I wish he didn't scream at everybody all the time.

Although it was awesome when he screamed at that fan tonight saying, Yeah, who's crying now, motherfucker?

Yeah, it was great, it was great, but but it's not like they're America's sweetheart.

No, but if you pulled the general public, who do you think they would choose?

I don't know, I think pretty close.

Yeah, I don't think, I don't think you're right on that.

All right, yeah, I mean, I'm biased. I mean, no, but I'm saying as a fan, like a rooting interest, like a fan, just a yeah.

Rooting it?

Oh yeah, and I'm not talking about like, maybe they're going to win, but like, they want to win.

I think it's probably close.

You were, you were two and a half points off on that line.

Yeah, I have too much respect. I've been listening to fucking these donuts over here.

I've been glazing straight, glazing. Luca should be allowed.

No, I know, but I've been. The glazing has has infiltrated, got in my hair and like, it's got in my ear. And it's made me think that the baths are maybe are better than they are.

You got Luca come in your ear. yeah, get you towel.

I also, it would be funny if the if the Celtics win this. We said this a couple, maybe last week. But the Lakers would have lost to the maximum amount of teams. Yeah, which would be very funny, cause they all Lakers fans were like the Nuggets were were the only team that could beat us as a bad matchup lost the Nuggets.

I have a very serious question about this if the Celtics win.

Yeah, take Vegas for sure.

If the Celtics win, does Blake Griffin get a ring?

No, I would say no.

You don't think so.

I have a very serious answer why.

Because everybody wanted him on the team this year.

I would love for him to get a ring, but I don't think Blake would take it.

I think they should give him one.

I don't think that would be a pity ring.

Yeah, they should give him one.

Was he in preseason camp? He should go to a game, you should get him to a game.

But you have to wear like a Blake Griffin jersey, and you have to sit like, have a pacifier and have the announcers think that you're his son.

You have to be like Deuce Griffin. Is that Jason Tatum's son's name? yeah.

Yeah, yeah, Deuce Griffin.

Deuce Griffin Just walking around, just high-fiving players, it's fun. Get like headbands signed.

Yeah, get on the court before the game and shoot around, running around.

You got to put, you got to put little, you got to put sneakers on your knees and walk around on your knees the whole time.

And be like, sprinting, but never dribbling the ball on the court.

Do it right now, let me see. You take off your shoes and put put, put your knees into your shoes. Can you do? You have this angle?

I think you could pull it off.

This is the best N.BA preview finals preview of all time. Just saying that right now, we're going to have our solo on next week, yeah.

Yeah, there he is, there's Deuce Griffin.

Deuce Griffin.

He's adorable.

He gets to go to every finals game. Deuce.

I just know that I like to ride with our guys on this show. Blake is rooting for the Celtics, He is a Celtic right now. Um, in in spirit. And we've got, uh, we got White, we've got Pritchard, and I like Joe Mizzou a lot.

Joe Mizzou I. I'm basing this all off, although Jason Kidd has been on the show.

That's very true, yeah.

Uh, I'm basing this just all off of. There's no heart or love, it's just brain. I think the Celtics are the better team in a seven game series. I just do.

Same.

Yeah, all right. Well, we'll find out. I'm going to crunch more data, though, so that's again, and don't, that's my knee, jerk.

I'm excited, I'm excited, I'm excited, I'm not going to say I'm nervous.

One strategy I actually the one only betting strategy I think I have for this is. I think I'm just going to bet whoever loses game one because I do think it's going to go seven. Yeah, so no matter who loses game one, I'm just going to bet that they're going to trade games back and forth.

There are enough really good players on both sides where it's like, Zach, you can't count either team out. I'm just going on vibes right now, I'm going with my heart, not my, not my head.

That is crazy. Dragon Ball Z. What is that?

I was trying to think of what it meant to weapon. I think it just means like, practicing.

Vrabel did it to Belichick.

Weapon? He did, yeah, he stole time from him.

Stole time? This is, yeah, what's that? uh, what's that confusing movie that Christopher Nolan made?

Tenet.

Interstellar tenet.

Interstellar, no tenet, no, was it?

It's tenet.

The most no before that tenet Nope.

Tenet was the weird one.

There was another one.

Tenet.

Not interstellar memento. Nope, that is also time.

Kind of well the guy had tenet.

Interstellar inception inception.

Oh, that's dreams, he's weaponizing dreams.

But memento as well.

Missoula definitely weaponizes dreams.

Tenet is weaponizing time.

I never saw it, so I can't speak to it again. This is great. NBA preview Which Christopher Nolan movie is most like the Boston Celtics? Okay, all right.

Okay, uh, should we talk some other sports?

Let's talk football.

Yeah.

Hard knocks.

Yeah.

Chicago Bears Yeah, Windy City.

Yeah.

Caleb Williams Yeah, Matt Dweeber.

Wait, Yas lakeshore drive. I'm excited for that.

Yeah, the lakeshore drive in the opening montage is gonna be great. The shot of Lake Michigan Sears Tower panouts.

First time it's ever had it in the Bears franchise. We all kind of assume this is gonna be the case. Because Hard Knocks has these rules where if you are a playoff team, you can't do it if you, which is like all the interesting teams.

I think it was originally. If you're a playoff team, you can choose to not do it right, they ask you, but then no team wants to do it.

If you have a new head coach, you can't do it. So I think that the decision was basically like the Giants, the Saints and the Bears.

I have a theory. Do you think that the Bears didn't fire Matt Eberflus because they wanted hard knocks?

No.

You don't think so.

No, I do not. I don't think any team wants hard knocks, I mean.

Maybe, maybe, maybe.

Listen, everyone picks, but.

I'm excited to watch the Hard Knocks Bears.

Try and get that new stadium. Yup, buzz, yeah.

By the way, I think the lawmakers in Illinois have gone on vacation for the rest of the summer. Shout out, Hank.

Yeah.

Like, this could go south.

Yeah, people are going to get pumped for these bears, though. Oh yeah, it is.

I mean, I'm already, there's nothing hard knocks can do that, I won't already be thinking in my head.

I can't wait for the fashion episode with Caleb Williams. They're definitely going to go out to, like some designer stores. Follow him around for a day.

Him and Roma Dunze being best friends already.

Have him try some stuff on for the cameras. Yeah, do a little catwalk, yup, that's gonna be good.

Ryan Pohl's getting to work at like four in the morning, which I respect. Hard working guy, genius. Yeah, I'm excited.

You should be.

I'm very excited.

But you should also be very wary of the fact that hard knocks makes us amped up for any team.

Oh, no, pft. I'm so scared that I might be like, way over hyping the bears going into September and then they don't do well. When has that ever happened?

Not you, not you, everybody else having the expectation they already are.

They're already like, over eight and a half win total.

In seasons past, Damn with the Bears, you've been pumped up for the bears, but everybody else has been like, Uh, maybe pump the brakes a little bit. This time, everyone's going to be like, bears, bears, bears.

You do realize there's literally nothing that can happen in this course of hard knocks. And then the season that hasn't already happened to me, like, what, what's the worst thing that could happen? I become a laughingstock of the internet. Oh, welcome to every football season.

Yeah, I'm just saying hard knocks.

Yeah, that's why, that's why it's like, I'm at the point where it's like, I have nothing to lose. The only thing I could lose is just going back to where I've been.

It does give your enemies more ammunition in terms of memes.

They have all of it.

In terms of things to bring up, they have all the stats.

Don't go wrong, PFT. They have the stats, I know, 3,000 yard passer.

Listen, I'm with you. I think the bears are going to be good. I'm excited for hard knocks. They're a fun team, their offense seems like they're incredible.

That's a lie.

One.

That's a fucking lie, one. Everyone in this room wants to see me get crushed. Everyone who's watching this wants to see me get crushed. That's a lie.

I root way harder against everybody else's teams. You're the team that I root the most for out of all the teams that I want to see lose.

I think that's right, I reciprocate that the two.

They are very satisfying.

Where they like, squash a candle.

Yeah, we got to get on some oddly satisfying stuff on this show, yeah, on the socials.

Yeah, I watched one where they it's in my algorithm, I'll start sending over my algorithm's just tits and just tits. I was thinking, what else it is? But it's not even food. No, it's not even food.

Any dogs?

I think I've just basically curated just tits, uh, the they shave soap bars. You ever watched that one? Yep, that one rocks.

About cleaning rugs?

Yeah, I like that, that's cleaning rugs.

Biggest waste of water I've ever seen.

Have you watched the-.

I watch them all.

Have you watched the lawnmower guy who just shows up to random people's houses? He is the best.

The guy cotton clogging drains.

Oh, the drains, dude, I have two drains in my back patio, and I have I won't clean up the back patio. Just because every time it rains, it gets clogged. And I can just scoop it and I'll put it, like, right next to the drain, just so I can watch it.

Yeah, the leaves, yeah, the leaves and all the gunk in there. Yeah, yeah, the lawnmowing videos are very satisfying.

Or it's like a person has passed away and let, Yeah, so they'll go to the neighbor and be like, Hey, can I clean this up? Yeah, this is a hard knocks preview. Well, there will be.-.

There's definitely going to be a grass cutting scene. Yo, yeah, at the beginning of Hard Knocks, the smell, the sprinkler.

So many drone shots of the lake and the river. Yeah, yeah, listen, I'm going to be excited to watch it. And again, there's.-.

Team's going to go to the Sears Tower, 360 Tower.
