Speaker 3: I mean, okay, yeah, we guys, we're focusing on two
Speaker 3: teams that we never talk about on this podcast.
Speaker 4: Well, at the very.
Speaker 1: Least, we're gonna focus on one team with a fan
Speaker 1: of the team, and I think we can put that
Speaker 1: in a.
Speaker 2: Breakdown column because we do want to.
Speaker 1: Talk about the state of the bottoms with comedian, writer
Speaker 1: and EP Josh Gondleman.
Speaker 2: On today's episode. I'm filed Ray and.
Speaker 3: I'm Jack O'Brien and this is.
Speaker 4: One days.
Speaker 2: Driving spinning.
Speaker 3: Curry, a three corner stop curry from downtown again. Be honest,
Speaker 3: look out, shoot time what you go?
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, Gondleman, the God is joining US Celtics
Speaker 1: fan from the Massachusetts Boston, Massachusetts. There from the Boston area, Connecticut, Yeah, Providence. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm from Bangor, Maine, but shut up, bang Yo. I'll
Speaker 1: play hockey there a few times. But anyway, Yeah, Josh,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. Man, like Jack and
Speaker 1: are huge fans of yours, but like We've never reached
Speaker 1: out until we started in the basketball podcast.
Speaker 2: So it's really great to have you on.
Speaker 5: Man, thank you so much for having me. I'm really
Speaker 5: psyched to do it. I was so thrilled to be asked.
Speaker 4: I love to.
Speaker 5: I'm psyched to talk with you guys, and I love
Speaker 5: to talk to generally, so like, let's yeah, I love
Speaker 5: to and I'm I feel like it always gets contentious
Speaker 5: because I'm from the Boston area, so people automatically are like,
Speaker 5: I'm predisposed to hate whatever I have to say, so
Speaker 5: I'm like always kind of have like, right, my my
Speaker 5: guard up.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just a Celtics Josh, Yeah, I was. I was
Speaker 6: a fan of yours. I was rooting for you.
Speaker 2: We were all rooting for you.
Speaker 3: We thought you were a Knicks fan for some reason. Yeah,
Speaker 3: in New.
Speaker 1: York, I hung this up in your honor, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like New York Knicks Jersey. So you know,
Speaker 1: now I have to put this one up just to
Speaker 1: kind of bring it back.
Speaker 2: That hurts. No, no, no, my bad, my bad, It's all
Speaker 2: wo I love it.
Speaker 5: I mean I grew up probably like eight nine miles
Speaker 5: out of Boston and grew up a Celtics fan in
Speaker 5: kind of the Twilight of Larry, Like I knew that
Speaker 5: Larry Bird was great, but not from any evidence of
Speaker 5: watching him play basketball during my lifetime, right because because
Speaker 5: I was born just early enough to watch the like
Speaker 5: backbrace years and just late enough to fully miss the excellence.
Speaker 5: And they weren't like YouTube compilations you go into. You
Speaker 5: just said to like listen to old men.
Speaker 1: Tell you about how good he used to be, right,
Speaker 1: or there's like weird VHS tapes that like had your
Speaker 1: team's just because I'm kind of the same way with
Speaker 1: like the Showtime Lakers, Like I was born in eighty four,
Speaker 1: so my life basketball consciousness doesn't really fully developed TI
Speaker 1: about nineteen ninety and that's yeah, born thing. And I
Speaker 1: was like, and I was like, man, Larry, I'm like,
Speaker 1: how come Larry Bird not playing again in this game?
Speaker 2: That was the question I always asked myself as a kid.
Speaker 2: I'm like, isn't he good? I thought he was on
Speaker 2: the Dream Team. But yeah, totally, I totally feel that.
Speaker 4: And you get those those vhs.
Speaker 5: Those are so great, the high VHS is and you
Speaker 5: man similar to like best of Phil Hartman snl hs.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, right, best of Michael Jordans.
Speaker 6: Yeah, two Tom Petty songs for some reason, for real,
Speaker 6: for real, I had so I had so many Michael
Speaker 6: Jordan's just highlight tapes. And then dazzling dunks and basketball
Speaker 6: bloopers was another one of my favorites.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're huge.
Speaker 5: Yeah, VHS bloopers were like the family friendly faces of Death.
Speaker 2: Yeah, truly where it's like because I remember like there
Speaker 2: was one like I loved bloopers.
Speaker 1: Like I think maybe that's like your first entry point
Speaker 1: where you've like on a ven diagram. You're like, you
Speaker 1: like sports and comedy, therefore you love bloopers totally.
Speaker 4: Someone just front rim of dunk and fall on the back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like laughing, You're like, no, he actually he
Speaker 1: had a lot of herniated discs.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm how Larry Bird got hurt?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah right, So tell us like a little bit,
Speaker 1: what's your evolution? So you said you kind of missed
Speaker 1: the Larry the peak Larry years, and then from there
Speaker 1: were you in and out of basketball you were just
Speaker 1: always focused on that.
Speaker 5: I was mostly pretty in I was like a kind
Speaker 5: of across the board New England sports fan, and I
Speaker 5: think as as I've grown up, it's like mostly Celtics. Now,
Speaker 5: I like check in on the Red Sox, but it's
Speaker 5: I'm not I don't pay for the baseball one whatever.
Speaker 4: It is identical baseball games a year, but.
Speaker 1: You are required once you pay for it, you are
Speaker 1: required to watch every game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, every single.
Speaker 5: Is my personality where I'm like, if I'm not watching,
Speaker 5: not extracting the maximum value, I have like a real
Speaker 5: capitalist attitude towards my gott to get them all in.
Speaker 4: It's so I'll check in with that.
Speaker 5: My my dad and my sister a big Bruins fans too,
Speaker 5: so I like keep current on that. But the Patriots,
Speaker 5: like NFL stuff has kind of fallen away as it
Speaker 5: is clear that it's more of a moral hazard.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like the teams were pretty bad through
Speaker 5: my youth, I mean basically across the board. But the
Speaker 5: Celtics were pretty bad and then started ticked up a
Speaker 5: little bit. Had some playoff runs in the early aughts
Speaker 5: when I was in high school. That was pretty fun. Uh,
Speaker 5: the Paul Pierce Antoine Walker years.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was my dad. My dad was a coach
Speaker 6: of those teams. Wait, Jim, Jim O'Brien, Oh yeah, oh yeah, of.
Speaker 4: Course those are some fun years.
Speaker 3: Of course we have the same.
Speaker 2: How can I I've forgotten I know it had something
Speaker 2: to do with you, Jack.
Speaker 4: In high school, I did.
Speaker 5: I played basketball until I played JV sophomore year and
Speaker 5: that was even that was like a mercy non cut
Speaker 5: by the coach and got more into like high school theater.
Speaker 5: But this is like exactly my vibe in high school.
Speaker 5: I was in Fiddler on the Roof in junior my
Speaker 5: junior year in high school, and I think it was
Speaker 5: Celtics either Celtics six ers or Celtics nets in the playoffs,
Speaker 5: and people didn't have smartphones, so that people in the
Speaker 5: intermission couldn't find out the score. But I could because
Speaker 5: I was backstage where the computers were in school. So
Speaker 5: I saw that the Celtics won. And I played model
Speaker 5: the Tailor. If you're familiar with Fidder on the Roof,
Speaker 5: as I imagine all your listeners are tailor Mary. Hell yeah,
Speaker 5: we had a non Jewish heavier and I.
Speaker 2: This day, I'm trying.
Speaker 4: You have a convention, right, yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, And and I played, so I played I married
Speaker 7: one of the daughters whatever they one of the characters
Speaker 7: comes into my like tailor shop and it's like, do
Speaker 7: you have my.
Speaker 5: Vest mussel the tailor and I went, I was supposed
Speaker 5: to just be like uh huh and then give it
Speaker 5: to them big huh and you know, but instead I went,
Speaker 5: I like kind of cheated up to the audience and
Speaker 5: went the shamrock green One and Wow.
Speaker 4: And my dad was an audience like, nice to see
Speaker 4: what I was doing.
Speaker 3: Nice son killing it up there killing it up.
Speaker 5: He's doing he's like sports center and green One.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 2: That was a wordsmith at a young age.
Speaker 6: They beat the Sixers Detroit and then lost to the nets.
Speaker 3: They could not get past the nets.
Speaker 5: It might have been it wasn't a se is when
Speaker 5: though I don't think it was.
Speaker 4: It was definitely nets are sixers.
Speaker 3: But yeah, green One, Yeah, allow yourself, just a real torp.
Speaker 1: What's what's it like being in New York? You know,
Speaker 1: like because I know you know New York Boston sports
Speaker 1: they say, no, it is that one building actually over
Speaker 1: a hundred hundreds.
Speaker 3: On the top. Yeah, you see these things.
Speaker 4: Just everything's open late now it's I've always grown up.
Speaker 5: Red Sox Yankees is a rivalry that people care about
Speaker 5: a lot in Boston, and then in some parts of
Speaker 5: New York they care, but not everywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, But do you find yourself like, because I
Speaker 1: feel like Nick's culture is I'm born and raised in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, but always had like one toe in New York,
Speaker 1: like my whole life.
Speaker 2: Whether that's because of hip hop.
Speaker 1: Because of the midst of hip hop, really that's all
Speaker 1: that was like the entryway to meeting Like I love
Speaker 1: New York and.
Speaker 2: Cheese, hip hop chop cheese.
Speaker 1: Obviously the stairways exactly, you know, smoking law and optimos,
Speaker 1: but like the whole thing, Like, I just feel like
Speaker 1: that Nick's fan culture is really intoxicating. And I imagine
Speaker 1: someone who works in New York with New Yorkers and
Speaker 1: things like that, does any did any of that rub
Speaker 1: off on you? You kind of like you sort of
Speaker 1: see that, You're like, that's fine for you, But I'm.
Speaker 5: No, I enjoy it like as an ambiance, right, like
Speaker 5: I enjoy when the Knicks are good.
Speaker 4: It's like fun that people are in a good mood.
Speaker 5: It's also there's no I don't think there's any fan
Speaker 5: base in sports that that rings more out of less
Speaker 5: than the next Like people were like.
Speaker 4: This is our year.
Speaker 5: Yea, It's like yeah, five seed and that's baby, and
Speaker 5: it's so it's like really fun just because the Knicks fans.
Speaker 5: It's such a New York thing, where like any Knicks
Speaker 5: thing is the greatest thing going, even if it's kind
Speaker 5: of middle of the road, or even if.
Speaker 4: It's like still emerging or on the decline.
Speaker 5: And they'll and New Yorkers like I will say this
Speaker 5: at this point because it makes sense for context.
Speaker 4: But and it's a show that no longer exists.
Speaker 5: But I worked for Jesus and Marrow for their their
Speaker 5: run on Showtime, and they're such big Knicks fans and
Speaker 5: whenever they would be they beat the Celtics game one
Speaker 5: of last season and they were just like talking cash
Speaker 5: and I was like, come on, I was like, this
Speaker 5: is this is like the high point of your season though,
Speaker 5: and they want a playoff series and you know they
Speaker 5: it's they're they're they're a fun team.
Speaker 4: But it is a fun on Beyonce, just in the city.
Speaker 5: Where people are like the Knicks, baby, we're back. What
Speaker 5: does back mean to you?
Speaker 2: Just in the in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I remember that series against Atlanta like two years ago,
Speaker 1: all the side talk videos that were coming out of
Speaker 1: outside MSG were I've never you thought they won the
Speaker 1: chip the way that entered's like Spider Man was out
Speaker 1: there break dancing with Hennessy and I was like this
Speaker 1: is great, like yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Love it so much fun. And then they just got
Speaker 4: uh they lost.
Speaker 5: In the first round people, and then they immediately they
Speaker 5: go Nicks fans go zero to sixty and then they
Speaker 5: go sixty to negative sixty immediately.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just like yeah.
Speaker 4: Like Julius, if Julius Randall.
Speaker 5: Misses another three pointer, I'll kill myself on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Line to say take it in, God, make it in.
Speaker 2: You're like right, really take me now. Yeah, I'm ready.
Speaker 2: I'm ready to beat Yamah.
Speaker 4: I'm ready to see you.
Speaker 5: I thought I was ready when Patrick Ewing left, but
Speaker 5: now I'm really ready.
Speaker 2: I'm really ready.
Speaker 6: Brunton is probably the player I'm most jealous, so, like,
Speaker 6: I just I feel like I have just an unwavering
Speaker 6: confidence that he's gonna like do something great for that team.
Speaker 6: For some reason, he just like is so such a
Speaker 6: winning player. Wherever he goes, he just like finds a way,
Speaker 6: And I don't know, I feel like they get the
Speaker 6: right piece around him that I know people are gonna say,
Speaker 6: like Embiid and I am now a Philly fan.
Speaker 3: Josh uh and he yeah, well we'll get to it.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I feel I feel like they have a
Speaker 6: chance at a title in the next ten years because
Speaker 6: of brunsome for some reason.
Speaker 5: I think that, like it's it's weird to feel like
Speaker 5: he's the first, like he's the cornerstone because you need
Speaker 5: like buds in plus guy better than Brunson. But it's
Speaker 5: also like that guy is so important too, right, Like
Speaker 5: if it was if it was Jalen Brunson and joe
Speaker 5: El Embiid on the Sixers instead of James Harden, You're like, oh,
Speaker 5: maybe they get that done. You know, maybe they maybe
Speaker 5: this year ends differently for them. But it's but I agree,
Speaker 5: he's really good, really fun to refer and MSG, like
Speaker 5: for all the hype about it, MSG is an awesome
Speaker 5: place to see a game, so so fun. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 5: I've allowed myself because I've lived here for twelve years
Speaker 5: now and I've allowed myself one New York team, and
Speaker 5: so I've become a Liberty fan because there wasn't there
Speaker 5: is no Boston w NBA team.
Speaker 4: So I'm all in on.
Speaker 5: The Liberty this summer. That's my whole thing. But it
Speaker 5: but I do like appreciate the Knicks. It doesn't feel
Speaker 5: I don't mean this in an insulting way to Nick Dans.
Speaker 5: It doesn't feel like a rivalry because the Celtics and
Speaker 5: Knicks are like never peaking at the same.
Speaker 3: Time the same time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're like Philly Boston is much more of a
Speaker 5: rivalry or La Boston is like the historic one tile
Speaker 5: right right obviously are you Are you.
Speaker 1: Rocking like the Rebecca Lobul throwback like at the Liberty Games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Like I haven't pulled the trigger on merch yet, but
Speaker 5: it is. I think it's next time I go to Barclays.
Speaker 5: I think it's happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in a throwback though, too, Like, let be so
Speaker 1: good I'm about this, like I'm not just rocking, like
Speaker 1: I'm I didn't just pop the tags off this thing.
Speaker 2: I've been here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna try to find one.
Speaker 6: So briefly, just like your thoughts on the Celtics off season,
Speaker 6: smart is gone good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh I feel so bad.
Speaker 5: It's I was in Oklahoma City touring for stand up
Speaker 5: because the trade came in really late and I had
Speaker 5: finished my show and I had a drink with a
Speaker 5: friend and went back to the hotel and saw that
Speaker 5: they trade.
Speaker 4: Him, and I was just like alone in Oklahoma.
Speaker 5: Like, who's up that I can text because I'm bad place.
Speaker 3: Just down the street be like you got a good one? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, shouting into Tennessee. Yeah, I feel bad.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's a good I don't think it's
Speaker 5: a good off season. I think Grant Williams was like
Speaker 5: an he he was finding his way mostly out of
Speaker 5: the rotation. It's like it seemed like he and Joe
Speaker 5: Missoula didn't see how to eye on some.
Speaker 6: They're going big Missoula. I feel like they're like, all right,
Speaker 6: these are the two guys who Joe didn't like. I
Speaker 6: thought they were gonna maybe go in the opposite direction
Speaker 6: and be like, all right, we got to find a
Speaker 6: new coach. But they are tripling down. I would seem
Speaker 6: like on thee because the.
Speaker 4: Double down was they gave him that long contract right
Speaker 4: around All Star break.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was like a four year extension or something,
Speaker 5: and took away the interim coaching title. I I don't
Speaker 5: for me the jerry is still out on him as
Speaker 5: a coach. But I don't love this like personnel philosophy,
Speaker 5: which seems to be driven by like what he's looking for.
Speaker 5: I've heard smarter people than I have said that. And
Speaker 5: uh and so I'm a little I'm nervous because I
Speaker 5: loved Marcus Smart, huge Marcus Smart fan like Grant Williams
Speaker 5: a ton and and I'm a I'm a christebs porzingis skeptic.
Speaker 3: I feel like you don't think he exists.
Speaker 4: Yes, I don't think he exists. I'm a skeptic.
Speaker 3: People.
Speaker 4: I feel like.
Speaker 5: I've seen grainy video of Chris steps Perzingis. That was
Speaker 5: just a guy in a Kris steps Porzingis costume.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 4: Walking with those in the background.
Speaker 3: It's not actually waving in the way.
Speaker 5: Come on, this is the soundstage people, That's just that's
Speaker 5: just Mike Muscala.
Speaker 1: I know you said the jury is still out on
Speaker 1: Joe Mizula as a coach.
Speaker 2: What about Joe Mosula as a comedian? Oh what do
Speaker 2: you think as a guy? Yeah, what's what's your take on?
Speaker 1: Because like whenever we're we scratched our heads those first
Speaker 1: couple of press conferences were like is he messing with.
Speaker 2: Us or funny?
Speaker 3: He's like, he seems like.
Speaker 4: A fascinating guy.
Speaker 5: He just like the first I don't know if this
Speaker 5: made it like made it out of containment of like
Speaker 5: Celtic Twitter, but people straight up were calling him Bazooka
Speaker 5: Joe for the first half of the season because he
Speaker 5: just had gum in his mouth and was chewing it
Speaker 5: like with John Wick intensity for like the first half
Speaker 5: of the season, and someone must have been like, man,
Speaker 5: you can't do that anymore.
Speaker 4: People. Your eyes are like bugging out.
Speaker 5: People think you're keeping up or something right right right,
Speaker 5: And he like got a was a jiu jitsu coach
Speaker 5: like that, he that came to some of the games
Speaker 5: and they did like five segments on him during some.
Speaker 4: Playoff and oh, that's Joe Missoula's jiu jitsu coaches. Why
Speaker 4: do we know this?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: So he just feels like kind of an eccentric guy
Speaker 5: who is like so even weirdly even keeled in press conferences. Yeah,
Speaker 5: very I'm like riveted by the Joe Missoula the person experience.
Speaker 6: He took that big swing with the only royal family
Speaker 6: He's ever heard of is Jesus married Joseph?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a huge swing, Like, are not a
Speaker 3: good bit?
Speaker 4: It's like ever, no one's ever called them the Royal family.
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4: It just like doesn't track.
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh man, but what a swing. He was like,
Speaker 6: get ready, get ready, folks.
Speaker 2: That it was chamber, but the confidence is what really
Speaker 2: threw us.
Speaker 1: We're like, no, that that's a joke or that's he's
Speaker 1: deeply serious Christian like because it's like that.
Speaker 4: That doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 3: Right right right?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I did love that the whole team was so disrespectful
Speaker 5: to the Royal family.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think there was some other comments like oh I
Speaker 5: didn't know they were there, like nagging the whole royal
Speaker 5: which I conserves it.
Speaker 4: Oh were they? Did they know all the rules of
Speaker 4: our handgame?
Speaker 1: Between Smart and Grant Williams? Though, who you think you're
Speaker 1: gonna be missing more Smart?
Speaker 4: For sure?
Speaker 1: I think what a cool question for you know, I
Speaker 1: just like, hey, Grant Williams confidence though against the heat.
Speaker 2: I meant that was almost superhero life, shid.
Speaker 5: I just you know to this season where he just
Speaker 5: like talking about big swings. He was so getting Jimmy
Speaker 5: Butler's face, which is so funny and so inadvisable.
Speaker 4: And then the like.
Speaker 5: Maybe the goofiest loss of the season was he had
Speaker 5: to hit one free throw to win a game against
Speaker 5: the Calves, and he looked at Donovan Mitchell and was like,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna make these both, and then he missed both
Speaker 5: and they lost it over time. He looked in the
Speaker 5: eyes and like said it to him and then just
Speaker 5: missed so much one they still would have won, and
Speaker 5: he would have gone like, all right, we still got
Speaker 5: the double.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Then had to do ray after I don't care, got
Speaker 1: to make both, like two, I don't break them, break them,
Speaker 1: miles y, I'm not.
Speaker 2: Gonna break them.
Speaker 4: I said I was gonna miss both.
Speaker 3: He misunderstood me.
Speaker 4: Watch me miss both?
Speaker 6: Yea, oh man, all right, I'm assuming Jalen Brown like
Speaker 6: they figured that out the everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all the rumors are like, it's just down to
Speaker 3: like a couple of details here and there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's and.
Speaker 5: I think it's it's tough for someone to walk like
Speaker 5: he would have to not want to be there so
Speaker 5: badly that he would turn down more money than anyone
Speaker 5: else could possibly give him, and and everyone knows you
Speaker 5: just you take the contract and then you're like, oh,
Speaker 5: actually I also don't want it.
Speaker 3: Also, I don't want to be here. Yeah, you guys that.
Speaker 4: When I signed it, I would like three hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, here's what I like.
Speaker 1: It's pretty normal though, right to get that max and
Speaker 1: then be like, yeah, now get me out of here.
Speaker 4: It's becoming normal.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't want to do the old guy thing of
Speaker 5: like what if what is a contract between a rich
Speaker 5: old man and a young person of color?
Speaker 6: Mean?
Speaker 4: These days?
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, I find that many. Yeah, you're going to
Speaker 2: give me that time, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd as much as I like him and would
Speaker 5: like him, do you want.
Speaker 1: To become It's just it's just becoming part and parcel
Speaker 1: of the business, you know, more than anything.
Speaker 3: You owe me. Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 3: We'll come back.
Speaker 6: Well, I will try and push past the Sixers news
Speaker 6: as much as I possibly can, and we'll talk about
Speaker 6: other teams. We'll be right back, and we're back and
Speaker 6: Joel and Bea says it's focused on warning. A title
Speaker 6: in Philly or else directly mentioned the idea of playing
Speaker 6: somewhere else. You know, Celtics fans already asking could we
Speaker 6: get him?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's come up in a group chat.
Speaker 3: Alright, weird.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Celtics Reddit was the second happened. I went
Speaker 1: to look at Celtics Reddit.
Speaker 2: I call Jack. I'm like, they're rubbing their mits over there.
Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, this this could work, this could work.
Speaker 4: And Jason and Tatum seemed to get along. It's like
Speaker 4: all these.
Speaker 1: Like they work out in the off season together that
Speaker 1: I saw that being pointed to.
Speaker 6: It does It does have the same feel as like
Speaker 6: when Durant couldn't get past Golden State and then like
Speaker 6: that was the team that had given him the most
Speaker 6: trouble to that point in his career and then he
Speaker 6: just went when he left, he went to that team.
Speaker 3: That that would make a sort of sense to me.
Speaker 6: I would have to quit this show and watching the
Speaker 6: NBA just for for like a five seasons, and then
Speaker 6: I'd come back to come back.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: Joel Embiid as a Celtic like not not saying there's
Speaker 5: any likelihood of this happening.
Speaker 4: He would just be so villainous to the rest.
Speaker 2: Of the league.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he already likes to be a villain and and
Speaker 5: like just playing for the Celtics.
Speaker 6: People are like, it would really be Wow, what a
Speaker 6: big three if embiid with the two wings like that
Speaker 6: would that would be hard to stop?
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I mean I see why you would
Speaker 1: be thinking of it as a fan, because that's that
Speaker 1: looks that looks like a little bit all right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be And I'm normally like I didn't
Speaker 5: when when the Durant rumors are happening, I was like,
Speaker 5: I don't want to hear about this. This isn't It
Speaker 5: just felt like wrong, and that that Nets team, that
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Kevin Durant Nets team just felt
Speaker 5: so cursed.
Speaker 4: But really any part.
Speaker 6: Now there seems to be something with the like teams
Speaker 6: that are like artificially put together as like a big
Speaker 6: three where they just like don't catch the same breaks
Speaker 6: as teams that are like built through the draft do
Speaker 6: or so something, because like that that just seems to
Speaker 6: be who's winning of late. It's like the team the
Speaker 6: drafts the great player like finds the finds, Yannis finds,
Speaker 6: Jokic finds you know, Steph Curry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean You're like, mercenary squad would have
Speaker 1: to be so deep for it to work, like you
Speaker 1: see it work in other sports, and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is a bunch of mercenaries.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, it's a little bit hard of a
Speaker 2: basketball for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And I don't like that.
Speaker 5: I feel like there's been so much like salary cap
Speaker 5: talk with the new CBA this this off season, and.
Speaker 4: I hate that.
Speaker 5: I get I don't care about it, especially because it's
Speaker 5: like you can trade for a guy and go way over,
Speaker 5: but you can't sign a guy and go it. And
Speaker 5: it's like, oh, but then the owner would have to
Speaker 5: pay all this money, And I'm like, pay the money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't care. What is money to him?
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't make me feel bad. I don't.
Speaker 5: I'll never feel bad for someone who owns a professional
Speaker 5: sports team having to pay forty million dollars in tax
Speaker 5: to the other rich guys in the.
Speaker 2: Weekue, right, right, right.
Speaker 1: It is funny like how sports fans immediately act like
Speaker 1: it's their money, you know.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, we can't do that, not for that, not
Speaker 2: for that, not for that. Well do you want to win?
Speaker 1: Because if the people in the front office doing they
Speaker 1: don't care then, like I said, they'll figure it out financially,
Speaker 1: but yeah.
Speaker 5: If it was my because it's also like it doesn't
Speaker 5: go the other way where they're never like because I'm like,
Speaker 5: oh I can't.
Speaker 4: If I were like they can't spend this money, they'll
Speaker 4: go into the tax.
Speaker 5: But it's never like I never have to think about
Speaker 5: what a reasonable amount is from my point of view,
Speaker 5: because if I had to pay whatever Robert Williams the
Speaker 5: third salary, you'd get paid like a babysitter hourly.
Speaker 4: About one hour, or you a pizza.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, can I get a cell phone at least
Speaker 2: pre pre pay phone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a mid mobile. The hourly rate is only
Speaker 3: for playing time. Unfortunately it's not for my game.
Speaker 1: But I could only work for forty eight minutes by
Speaker 1: that logic. Yeah, but I will drop them off at
Speaker 1: home after the game.
Speaker 2: So it sounds like you get played for every six
Speaker 2: or every five full quarters. Right, Well, we figured it out.
Speaker 2: We figured it out, yea.
Speaker 6: But yeah, that that is I think ultimately the thing
Speaker 6: that makes the conversations like the people who are like
Speaker 6: I'm a wizard with a trade machine, and like I
Speaker 6: you know, I know all these details about like what
Speaker 6: we can afford it just ultimately at the end is
Speaker 6: like or they could pay more where they could just
Speaker 6: like not play it by those rules and pay more
Speaker 6: money than you're assuming they want to pay. And yeah,
Speaker 6: then we're just talking about like a billionaire's appetite for risk,
Speaker 6: which that meends.
Speaker 5: That's my I would say, almost across the board, is
Speaker 5: my note, Just pay the money, like I don't care.
Speaker 4: I don't care, Like, well it's eighty million, I don't care.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, are you kidding? I mean that kind? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't up don't care.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sorry, I don't I can't even conceive a
Speaker 1: million dollars, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: So what yeah, fine, six, okay, sure, Like no, one's
Speaker 2: not gonna lie.
Speaker 5: Aye, all the same, all the same meaninglessness to me.
Speaker 5: And it's all and if it were coming out of
Speaker 5: like you know, the stadium, stuff is worse where because
Speaker 5: it comes out in taxes. But like we're not Kevin
Speaker 5: Durant's are getting paid out of the taxes of the
Speaker 5: people of friends.
Speaker 2: Kids aren't losing school lunches.
Speaker 1: And Tucson or like in somewhere to stay in your
Speaker 1: side because because of KD right exactly.
Speaker 5: Going to the Sorry, we're going from an old Beta
Speaker 5: Max cassette about the Soviet Union.
Speaker 4: That's our CIVIX classes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we had to.
Speaker 4: We had to create a big three over here for
Speaker 4: the because we can't.
Speaker 2: We got to get rid of eight and once we do,
Speaker 2: we'll turn the A C on here in this school.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's the deal. There's so many potholes. Every time
Speaker 5: you go over a pothole, you're just like Bradley B.
Speaker 2: What about Harden? Do you want to do? You want
Speaker 2: to talk about Jimmy hard and Jackie how.
Speaker 3: James James Hardens.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he seems like he might be coming back because
Speaker 6: I think the seventy six ers value him as a
Speaker 6: superstar and that seems to be deemed unrealistic by other
Speaker 6: teams in the league.
Speaker 2: Who's that talking?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think they're going to find what they're
Speaker 6: looking for. And it seems like after the White Party
Speaker 6: that we were all at together and bed Maxy, Harden
Speaker 6: and I, it does seem like everyone's cool enough to
Speaker 6: at least like play on.
Speaker 3: The same team.
Speaker 6: That being said, these are never James Harden's like huge
Speaker 6: leap forward seasons. The ones after he's like asked out.
Speaker 6: You know, it's usually the season where he like comes
Speaker 6: out of shape. So that that's just I'm just trying to.
Speaker 3: Read the tea leaves here. I don't really care at
Speaker 3: this point, like I've I don't know, am I a
Speaker 3: Sixers fan?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 3: The depends on what the definition of is is. I'm
Speaker 3: does it bring me joy?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Does it certainly know something to me
Speaker 2: on a very potent cellular level.
Speaker 4: Does it by a lot of my mental energy?
Speaker 3: Of sure? Yeah, of course it does.
Speaker 1: Was there talk of him wanting to reunite with Russ
Speaker 1: at the Clippers too? Like that's like a I know
Speaker 1: that's something that I was heard at all.
Speaker 6: He's got a lot of Once he was open to
Speaker 6: a lot of possibilities and it seemed like the Sixers
Speaker 6: weren't one of them, and now it seems like it
Speaker 6: might be. So anyways, Uh, summer League is what's keeping
Speaker 6: me happy just watching you know, Jabari Smith Junior, Cante
Speaker 6: George whose name I didn't really know heading into the
Speaker 6: Summer League.
Speaker 3: So Danny Ainge apparently good at this.
Speaker 6: Uh drafted George who put up thirty three points ten assists,
Speaker 6: in one game.
Speaker 3: That's just gonna be a name we have to know now,
Speaker 3: can't he George? He looks good.
Speaker 6: The Jazz look like they're like rounding into being way
Speaker 6: better than anyone could have expected at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is a twist.
Speaker 3: That really is.
Speaker 4: How how did they do this? It's bizarre.
Speaker 5: But the thing is, I think they were like kind
Speaker 5: of good last year and it's I don't know, maybe
Speaker 5: they'll be a lot better, Like they have some good
Speaker 5: young players, but it might just.
Speaker 3: Be like remember that season that was nice, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: we really put the pressure on that year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they really faded at the end, right, They were
Speaker 5: just kind of they they packed it up early.
Speaker 6: And then Cam Whitmore is I mean, I don't expect
Speaker 6: anything from the Jazz, but you know, nobody did last year.
Speaker 6: We'll see Cam Whitmore is the other one that jumped
Speaker 6: out rockets, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: This is like a genre of player where it's like
Speaker 6: based on interviews or like some character thing that they
Speaker 6: perceived like a player slides and it's.
Speaker 3: A huge mistake.
Speaker 6: I feel like every time, like the Paul Pierce getting
Speaker 6: to the Celtics, Paul George getting to the Pacers, were
Speaker 6: both examples like people have talked about like Baine went
Speaker 6: too late, Max, he went too late. I feel like
Speaker 6: Kentucky Wildcat perimeter players always go too late. But Cam
Speaker 6: Whitmore drafted twentieth Like that was the story on draft night,
Speaker 6: was like why did nobody take him? Like he seemed
Speaker 6: good Summer League, he was balling.
Speaker 3: I think he won. Like MVP of the Summer League
Speaker 3: put up twenty six points, had eight steals in one game.
Speaker 3: That's that's so many fields, that's so many steels.
Speaker 4: Wow, wow, eight single digits.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I mean it's yeah, triple double with steels,
Speaker 1: but whatever, pretty cool.
Speaker 4: Those are like my favorite stat lines too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it starts like approaching ten blocks and I'm
Speaker 5: just like, oh from.
Speaker 2: What Yeah, so strange.
Speaker 3: So I don't know those are now on the rookie radar.
Speaker 6: I feel like people that I'm going to be league
Speaker 6: passing right on a regular basis. Utah, be league passing, Utah.
Speaker 2: I mean, why not?
Speaker 1: You know, it's fun to look at fun to fun
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on that evolution if there is
Speaker 1: an evolution, yeah, but I think there is.
Speaker 5: I'm heavy on the West Coast teams for League pass
Speaker 5: because that's when I when it's not Celtics. For me,
Speaker 5: it's like late at night, my wife has gone to
Speaker 5: sleep and I'm watching game like the last games that
Speaker 5: are just on. So it's whoever's playing late on the
Speaker 5: West Coast, which is I mean, obviously it has not
Speaker 5: quite the coast, but I like that. So I see
Speaker 5: an inordinate amount, Like I imagine I'm gonna be watching
Speaker 5: a lot of Scoot this year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Scoots Scoots in there. I feel like, do you
Speaker 6: feel like you're going to watch a lot of Spurs games?
Speaker 6: Like I feel like anytime he's playing, I'm gonna want
Speaker 6: to watch for Wemby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why of course?
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, we don't.
Speaker 2: We got this.
Speaker 1: We had the privilege of seeing his very first game,
Speaker 1: which wasn't the best, when he had at Summer League.
Speaker 1: But even then I was like I just found myself
Speaker 1: barely saying anything, just looking at him, being like, wow.
Speaker 2: He's so big. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Buildings of New York, I'm not sure, oh wow, full wema.
Speaker 5: Wow the building must be seven feet five Wow. They
Speaker 5: say it's only seven to three. That's like when a
Speaker 5: building doesn't have a thirteenth floor, but really it does.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, how about this, Let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll come right back to get maybe some bold
Speaker 1: predictions from our guest before we enter the rapid fur
Speaker 1: round of questioning.
Speaker 2: We'll take a break, right yeah, oh Josh.
Speaker 1: And we are back, and you know, since we got
Speaker 1: a season coming up, we will like to have our guests,
Speaker 1: you know, put their foot down and really make a
Speaker 1: bold make some bold predictions that we can revisit at
Speaker 1: the end of the season.
Speaker 2: Just based on what little information we have.
Speaker 1: Uh and I think you know, Josh Gondolman, we would
Speaker 1: love to hear some of your boldest predictions.
Speaker 2: We're talking like like go for it. We're talking big
Speaker 2: swings like we were just talking about.
Speaker 1: Okay, So first up, broadly, what is your absolute boldest
Speaker 1: prediction for the upcoming NBA season?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 5: Okay, boldest prediction is the two part bold prediction. Okay,
Speaker 5: Luca MVP, but the MAVs are like in the play in.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Okay, yeah, okay, I have to put it
Speaker 2: on his back. Okay.
Speaker 1: Now, next one, which team or teams will have the
Speaker 1: biggest increase in wins over last year?
Speaker 2: Go bold?
Speaker 5: Oh biggest increase you know I'm gonna say I I like,
Speaker 5: haven't looked at the numbers, which makes this bold because
Speaker 5: it's stupid.
Speaker 4: But I think Pacers.
Speaker 6: Okay, I think that's Yeahcers look interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I don't know. Even though Metherin
Speaker 3: was not looking great in the Summer League, I think
Speaker 3: I think they're going to be great.
Speaker 5: And he didn't close strong last year, but I feel
Speaker 5: like I feel like he's a player. He'll figure it out.
Speaker 5: And yeah, thirty five wins last year. M M, well year, Yeah,
Speaker 5: the Pacers double. I talked to my U, one of
Speaker 5: my two Pacers fan friends this weekend, and he's like,
Speaker 5: too hype coming out of Summer League.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm a home Grin fan. I'm very excited.
Speaker 4: Yeah me too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, highlight based. I only watched the highlights of him.
Speaker 3: Watch the full game.
Speaker 2: You're any merchant?
Speaker 3: He do's?
Speaker 4: His highlights are so fun too. Yeah, he's just doing
Speaker 4: silly stuff.
Speaker 5: My favorite thing about Summer League is like really like
Speaker 5: the Summer League Championship is.
Speaker 4: Like who's worst players are the best worst player? Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Find out tonight from.
Speaker 1: Josh which rookies or rookie do you think has the
Speaker 1: best chance at beating Wemby to the Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 5: Oh, I think if I think Dame's gonna get traded
Speaker 5: and Scoot is going to put up like wild numbers there.
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean I'm going Scoot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: Also, which offseason move or moves will actually have the
Speaker 1: greatest impact.
Speaker 2: What's a trade? Everyone's just like, you don't realize this
Speaker 2: is that's enriched uranium right there.
Speaker 4: I think Grant Williams is going to get Dallas up
Speaker 4: into the play in tournaments.
Speaker 3: Okay, superducer Jabbari is big on Dallas's off season.
Speaker 4: I was not, but I think their off season was
Speaker 4: better than their season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is always what you want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to peek.
Speaker 4: Well, no one's playing game.
Speaker 2: Wait you see what they did off the court.
Speaker 3: Should we roll right into rapid fire?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Josh podcasting, Yeah, you've wandered into the shooting gall
Speaker 6: alley shooting out.
Speaker 2: Yeah you did it? Yeah, did it again?
Speaker 3: Crossfire?
Speaker 2: There we go, crossfire, Hurricane.
Speaker 3: Josh.
Speaker 1: Now this is the fastest segment. Now we're going to
Speaker 1: ask you a question. You're going to just respond react
Speaker 1: just chest past from that. Yeah, exactly, don't cloviate, don't
Speaker 1: expand on your answers and Jack and I start talking,
Speaker 1: just cut us off, be rude.
Speaker 6: Don't even take it out of the holster. And if
Speaker 6: you shoot yourself on the foot, just don't react.
Speaker 1: If you check your teeth, yeah, just beare down, just
Speaker 1: be like you know, be like plexical and g it out.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: Now here we go into the club after and you
Speaker 4: might say, yeah, having something.
Speaker 3: To did he like start crying like I would have?
Speaker 3: Or what what did he do?
Speaker 6: Does anybody we have like the do we have the
Speaker 6: oral history of that evening? But I am curious, and
Speaker 6: this is a test Josh. You're supposed to keep us
Speaker 6: moving here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this is you have it go wrong sport.
Speaker 2: We're talking about the wrong sport.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, really let us wander off.
Speaker 2: Yeah I know, I know, but here we go, Josh.
Speaker 3: Question.
Speaker 2: Oh actually, uh, allow me to actually back up a second,
Speaker 2: right start.
Speaker 3: The claw brands not even here, Miles.
Speaker 2: Well, he's here in spirit. Oh that's all that matters.
Speaker 2: You want to go first, ruggle first?
Speaker 3: Why don't you go first? Okay, So I don't even
Speaker 3: know where I am.
Speaker 2: All right, I get it, I get it. Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: We're all in there, all right, So Josh, we're asking
Speaker 1: each guest which young bombs will have a breakout season
Speaker 1: in twenty three twenty four. My guys, we've been tossing
Speaker 1: around our Tyrese, maxey Al Shangoon, Austin Reeves, Kate Cunningham,
Speaker 1: who's throwing in the mix.
Speaker 3: Looking like you just came down off the mountain, you know,
Speaker 3: he is looking rough. Jack, This is for you.
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be ty Max. I think it's
Speaker 4: I think it's the year of Maxie.
Speaker 3: What I'd like to hear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we like the year of max. We'd like to Yeah,
Speaker 2: give show Tyre. So isn't that your kids favorite player?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: He loves it.
Speaker 6: The only player he knows in any sport. And so
Speaker 6: if you know baseball is on, he's like, where's Maxie?
Speaker 6: So yeah, we're working on some things with him.
Speaker 4: He learned about all sports from Bo Jackson and Dean Sanders.
Speaker 3: He's like, well you should play both of them. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is ridiculous years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the problem.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Josh, I.
Speaker 6: Have a magic wand you can have any players skill
Speaker 6: set for a day. Who are you choosing what's giel
Speaker 6: set or you are you picking from them?
Speaker 5: I want I want that Aaron Gordon prime dunk contest
Speaker 5: dunk ability.
Speaker 3: Is this the second Aaron Gordon we've gotten?
Speaker 2: I think so it.
Speaker 6: Was?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Aaron Gordon's perimeter defense defense.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, they said, just like the gritty perimeter defense
Speaker 6: and fundamentals.
Speaker 4: I just want to for one day to guard across
Speaker 4: five positions.
Speaker 3: In the NBA? What what?
Speaker 2: What kind of dunk would you be doing? What are
Speaker 2: you trying? When you got that kind of list?
Speaker 4: I would want to jump. I would want to do
Speaker 4: one of those jumping over a guy or jumping over
Speaker 4: a thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, wasn't that a birthday cake one?
Speaker 6: Or was that his opponent? I feel like there was
Speaker 6: one in that dunk? It was him and Zach Lavine,
Speaker 6: right yeah, and like one of them blew out a
Speaker 6: birthday cake and it was a cupcake, right yeah? Erald
Speaker 6: with a candle Yeah oh that was yeah, never ignore me.
Speaker 2: Yeah when he blew the candle up.
Speaker 1: Where are we at, Josh, Josh, you gotta keep this
Speaker 1: segment going, you know, let me get up.
Speaker 4: There, as my producing skills are rusty. I've been on Star.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh here we go, who do you pick in their
Speaker 1: ultimate peak, Prime Shack or prime Hockey. Oh?
Speaker 4: I esthetically I prefer prime Hakeem to watch.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: That's all. Okay, rapid fire, that's my whole answer.
Speaker 3: But why is that?
Speaker 4: Is this a trick?
Speaker 2: No asking? Just like I've never heard of this player?
Speaker 2: I like Shack. I'm a Lakers fan. I only know
Speaker 2: Laker players, So I was like, who's this guy?
Speaker 5: I think Shaq was so exciting and dynamic and dominant,
Speaker 5: but like Hakim played with the level of there was
Speaker 5: like so much finast to his game and played great defense,
Speaker 5: which I always give extra points for.
Speaker 1: This guy sounds almost made up, Josh, And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead, And you made.
Speaker 2: Up this guy.
Speaker 4: I didn't make it what you said him to me?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: You gotta keep this segment going, Jos, This ship your miles.
Speaker 6: Next question, you can take two players from all of
Speaker 6: history you create your Mad Boosti's Edition NBA Jam team.
Speaker 3: Which two players are you taking?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm going from the world of NBA Jam to start.
Speaker 5: I feel like NBA Jam Sean Kemp is unstoppable and
Speaker 5: so he's on this team. I'm just keeping him in
Speaker 5: that world. And then I think it's Steph Curry and
Speaker 5: Sean Camp.
Speaker 6: I think he's Curry, that Curry and a big like
Speaker 6: a Curry and somebody who could just like chuck you
Speaker 6: across the court like that. That seemed to be such
Speaker 6: a great skill that you really needed in there.
Speaker 2: I was gonna go with Jeff Horn and Grimace from mcdamm.
Speaker 3: Similar. You're thinking the same same thought, Yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 4: The Grimace is like he's got touch around the basket.
Speaker 3: You think so prizing, surprising.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't run a lot of plays for the Grimace,
Speaker 4: but he's got that.
Speaker 2: They need they need to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not seeing what I'm seeing. I guess Okay,
Speaker 1: how about this you can again? Now you have superpowers,
Speaker 1: you got a time machine, you got all that Bill
Speaker 1: and Ted's phone booth. You can place any former Celtics
Speaker 1: great on next year's roster.
Speaker 2: Who are you adding to the mix?
Speaker 4: So they need they need like toughness and grit and
Speaker 4: defense and Mark Smart.
Speaker 5: Who which I think they called Bill Russell two point out. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but I mean I gotta go Bill Russell, Bill Russell team.
Speaker 5: There's no to them on the defensive end. But yeah,
Speaker 5: you know what Marcus Smart, Bill Russell number two?
Speaker 2: Okay, good, good, good the rank.
Speaker 6: He's always been number two behind them. And finally Jack,
Speaker 6: which is me or Miles that other guy over there.
Speaker 4: M h, I have to pick one of the two
Speaker 4: of you, and I don't. There's no parameters.
Speaker 2: The question is Jack or Miles.
Speaker 3: Just come John, I said, Josh, don't try and establish dude.
Speaker 4: If I have to pick Jack A Miles, I'll kill myself.
