00:00Championship rundown. Is it 13 or 14? I took, I said this to you, Kevin, like a 13 Boston
00:14championships since 2000, you can't throw Michigan. I don't know. Like I know what everybody
00:18for me personally, it has to count. So yeah. 14 world championships, zero for you, Kevin
00:25did. And what do you got? Like two, four thank God for the Blackhawks, three for the
00:30Blackhawks, one for the cubs, one for the cubs. Right. I knew white socks obviously,
00:36but that doesn't. Yeah. Yeah. That's the other thing. We'll get into it all. But introducing
00:41high noon's all. What's the other thing? That's the other thing. Well, I mean, the Lakers
00:47aren't tied. Like they weren't tied. Like the, the, the bubble doesn't count. I, and
00:53LA can't really take, I guess the Lakers franchise can say we had 16 champion, a 16
01:02championship, not 17 bubble doesn't count, but Minnesota, those should count for LA.
01:08But if you do that, then you're starting to do like, how many are we counting for when
01:12there was like six teams in the league? Well, no, you count them all. Well, I mean, for
01:19LA late, like if you, if I'm a Boston Celtics fan and they played in Omaha, I don't really
01:26count that towards the city. Yeah. Yeah. We need to split hairs between 17 and 18. Do
01:32we really? Well, the Lakers don't have, but yeah, yeah. And let's say the bubble doesn't
01:37get, it's about the Celtics. It's time. Finally ditch the vodka, iced tea, the high noon's
01:43I'm going to actually, we're going to be doing, I believe kind of Boston tea party later in
01:49the month, which will be fun. It's time to find additional sugary malt-based teas. Try

02:13I just said to Kevin, I was like, I don't know why I didn't expect it, but I saw his,
02:19he texted me. He was like, of course, Dave wants to do a rundown. I saw that before.
02:23And I, I don't know why I didn't even, I don't know why I didn't expect what am I not going
02:28to do a rundown? I know, I know. I just like in my head, I was like, Oh yeah, of course
02:33he's going to, but I just, I, I maybe I fell asleep at the wheel for a second. It never
02:38gets old boys. This is, I think it does get old. No, no, I can't sleep. Like I last blaming
02:46you. I just don't think it doesn't get old. Possible that like your brain is not reacting
02:52the same way it did. No, no, no. It is. It is Kevin. It's not, it's not even blogging
02:58Dave blaming you. It's just not possible. It absolutely is possible. It's the same thing.
03:03Like, like a hundred dollars doesn't mean anything to you anymore. No, no, no, no. Because
03:07you're wrong. Let me tell you. And I don't fake it because this, this was an anti-climatic
03:12demolition job. Right? So your reaction, you can't like, I'm not going to have some crazy
03:17celebration. I'm just saying that remember, remember who we beat, remember who we beat.
03:25And I tweeted yesterday, I won't trash Kyrie anymore. He went with the apology. I'm a different
03:31man, whatever it is, but this was important. He stomped on the logo is we like him or LeBron.
03:40Those are the only two guys who bring in and added to the NBA finals. And we beat one of
03:46my arch nemesis is so thoroughly. So what do they bring a little, a little, like a little
03:56added juice to it. And a lot of my championships have had that, whether it be deflate gate,
04:06spy gate, whatever you there, there's always something going on when we win world championships.
04:13So it adds that extra or whatever you call it now it's different. But when, when you're
04:24on top, it's still, I couldn't sleep last night. I'm watching every highlight was swinging,
04:29singing sweet Caroline. I'm watching that five minute video, some Celtics account put
04:34together. Everyone doubting this team. I'm going back and look in what I said. And I
04:38gotta be honest. Nobody was more correct about this team than I was. You, we, we forget.
04:45People are saying, don't resign round to the max. I said, you have to, I have a video where
04:51I'm like, you got to resign both and just sprinkle. I said, when they got drew holiday,
04:56they went on the championship. I said it when I, when the Porzingis thing was done, I said,
05:03I don't know. I said, I like Marcus smart. I'm going to reserve judgment till the end
05:10of the season to tell you whether I like that trade.
05:13I'm here to say, I like that. I like what they did there. I liked that trade. I like
05:19everything they did and it doesn't get old. It really does. It, it, it, it's hard to describe
05:25Tom Brady. My favorite banner is the next one, but this wasn't, I mean, they just destroyed
05:31everybody. I, I actually, I understand what you're saying, Dave, just because I saw when
05:35I woke up, I saw like my timeline was just your retweets of like that, like post game
05:41where you're just watching everything, everything. I got a question for you, Dave, who do you
05:44think is having a worse Tuesday morning, Marcus smart, or EMA, Adoka, Adoka, probably.
05:53I mean, like if the guy isn't horny, he's, he's a championship winning coach. Yeah. Because
05:59you like Marcus smart. I mean that team, they made, they made a hard decision and it was
06:05the right one. I clearly things had to be changed. I don't know what Grant is in Williams
06:11and like, I don't know what they're doing in the locker room. I think they're friends
06:17with Tatum, but Grant Williams, Grant Williams went from, remember Grant Williams not only
06:22went from the cell, he left Dallas. He went to Dallas and then ended up on the Hornets.
06:26So he had both his teams playing in the finals. Yeah. Stray Lakers in the, in the locker room.
06:32What the fuck is that? Yeah. I don't, I don't know what any of it was. I do think even still
06:37the Celtics I'm hearing a lot of like, well, they didn't play anybody. Shut up. This is
06:41one of the great, great teams of all time. They're great in the regular season. They
06:46dominated the playoffs. I don't care. Don't talk to the audience. This team will go down
06:50in history as one of the best teams of all time. It'll be interesting to see the, because
06:58it's the only sport I feel like they care so much about like, and like series MVP and
07:04stuff, how Tatum and Brown coexist after success, you know, nobody else has been able
07:10to, I was trying to think of teams that have been able to do it long-term without clearly
07:16having the alpha and nobody really has survived that.
07:20Right. They, they did though. I feel like they went through the hard part and now Tatum
07:24is about to get paid. It was funny. I do think that Jalen Brown deserved to win the, I thought
07:29you could argue it. I thought the votes were far more. What was it? Almost 50. No, it was
07:35like, Oh, I saw one guy vote for Tatum. Well, it was closer than I thought. I thought it
07:40was, I don't think so. The, I mean, game three, Jalen Brown, like that's where the series
07:46ends essentially is like, you know, when you go back to Dallas and it's two Oh, and the
07:51home team usually has extra juice and Jalen Brown in that second half ended Dallas's season.
07:56So I think he deserved it. I also thought Tatum was, he, he was doing a little extra
08:01at the end to try to get, like, he was playing ISO ball for the last like 10 minutes trying
08:06to get some points going, but I think it had already been decided. He had a spectacular.
08:09Oh, he was great. I mean, he was spectacular. He was all over the place. Yeah.
08:14There's something there between them, but it's, I think it's blown out of proportion,
08:20but there is no other team. Like you'd have the shack Colby and they couldn't do it. I
08:24saw a stat that they're the only, the Kauai Raptors and the Pistons are the only two teams.
08:32And now the Celtics in like 35 years to win a championship with nobody on the team has
08:38an MVP, a defensive player of the year, a rookie of the year, a finals MVP. Like they're
08:44the only teams, but even those two teams that you mentioned, I clear alpha dogs, like Kyrie
08:48I say, I say it was the alpha dog. No, I'm talking about like the, Oh, he's talking about
08:56the Ben Wallace. Yeah, no. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. They didn't, they didn't, but they
09:02also didn't have two players. I don't think on the level of, yeah, they just had one or
09:09it's spread out amongst your whole team.

10:15I think the banner 18 and you know, what's lost. We've been doing this so long. People
10:23don't know. I invented cue the duck. It's crazy. You did. And I don't know whether posting
10:31the Giselle dance is inappropriate. Now that used to always be kind of the warmup. Like,
10:38you know, I think she's out of the, she's out of the family now. Yeah. I, yeah. You
10:43can't maybe, you know, his girlfriend have a dance.
10:48I'm sure she does. She's on the dance team. Let's, let's see if someone can find a dance
10:54of her dancing. I'll, I'll put that one. Someone find her doing. It's tough to beat
11:00the Giselle one. Just the, just in Rio DJ. And you guys know what you've seen a million
11:08times. We know it. It really is one of those. She was just going to ponder it things. How
11:13about that guy who didn't think it was humanly possible? That was crazy. That's how many
11:19it was. That guy's like, you know, you don't, you can't count championship from other city.
11:27There's no way you got 13 championships since 2000. It is crazy. And it is one of those
11:33things like the Celtics was so good. And I don't even one day, I'm going to do that.
11:38I'm going to do that for you guys. I'm going to write a blog and then rank them all one
11:41through 13, 14 of count Michigan. But the style in which you win plays a huge factor
11:53and in the, how you remember it. And there's not a defining really moment for the Celtics
12:00because they kind of smushed everybody like this series didn't have a championship as
12:04you probably have.
12:05It was the, it was the, like the defining moment is crazy to say, but it was probably
12:10the Jalen Brown three against the Pacers. Yeah. Yeah. Right. To send it to overtime.
12:15Yeah. Yeah. That was game one, I think. Right. So it was like, Oh, what's going on here?
12:21Yeah. That was a defining moment.
12:22How do you, I'm seeing a lot of people give Brad Stevens the props he deserves for like
12:27building this team. So it's not like he's being forgotten, but how do you think he
12:30feels on a day like this? Cause he is getting, I'm seeing a lot of it, but it's, it's just
12:35not yours, but it is yours.
12:36No, it's his it's he built the team there. You're not, but that's what he wanted. That's
12:42what he wanted. He was there. He built the team. He built the team. I don't know. I'm
12:45still trying to think the red Sox had a couple kind of very memorable. And then I feel like
12:52almost boring. They just steamrolled just passed over Kevin's question just to be like,
12:57let me talk, go back to more. Well, I mean, it is his team. I'm trying to think it's not
13:03your, you're not on the team. It's not your championship, but I mean, he put it together.
13:06Yeah. And it was his choice credit, but you don't get to do it. You know, you don't get
13:10to enjoy any of it. You just get tweets online. Like, okay, great. But you're not there. The
13:14Patriots beat in Carolina was a good game, but not overly memorable. I mean the Celtics
13:20beating the Lakers, Paul Pierce, the wheelchair. Very man. I love Paul Pierce, by the way.
13:26I love ex athletes who root for the team now, like a fan. Like I love that. The Bruins very
13:34memorable. They, the Sadeen sisters Vancouver burned themselves down the city. Obviously
13:42Malcolm Butler, that's probably one 28, three, I think my internet red Sox come back against
13:51the Yankees down three. Oh, I mean, you really could go and say, and I'm not talking, what
13:57are like the top five, 10 most memorable season championships. They may all be Boston forever
14:09in the history of sports. Well, Malcolm Butler, you can argue is one 28, three, three Oh red
14:14Sox Yankees. You could argue that's one, two, three in the history of sports right there.
14:21Wait, what was the first one? Malcolm Butler interception greatest play in the history of
14:25Superbowl. I mean, I think the other two are better. Yeah. 28. No, that just the fact we can
14:34talk about that simultaneously dance at that stuff, the beat. And you said, I think the other
14:39two speaks to like, we gotta be better. Kevin, we had Bali. There's nothing Dan. It doesn't
14:49matter what we do, man. It's not matter. That was the funny answer that I was like, yeah,
14:55Malcolm Butler tough to beat. And you're like 28, three. Incredible. Yeah. The other two,
14:59I mean, in a three Oh two, I mean like every single championship is like its own 30 for 30.
15:08That's what makes this one. This one's not a 30 for 30. What do you just smush people?
15:13What do you think about people claiming that Tatum has negative aura?
15:19I don't even know what that means. You do know what that means? A bad aura. Why? No,
15:25well, he just quoting angel Reese for his big post-game quote. Oh, that's going to put Dave
15:29in a pickle. Oh, Angel Reese. Yeah, that's, I mean, what are they going to say now? How did
15:39you screw up the hero? Say now that's what he did. And I was going a million miles per hour.
15:44I was high on that. Kevin did the Derek white shirt heroes die, but legends can't remember.
15:53That doesn't surprise me one bit. That's a phrase that Dave messes up. I was going a million miles
15:58per hour. That cigar made me so high. Like whenever I don't really see Johnny lit the wrong
16:06end. Yeah. Scars. I'm not a cigar. I always screw up the scar, but I, a lot of things I'm yelling.
16:13I'm getting cigars going. I'm high. Are you crazy? You put up heroes die, but legends live forever.
16:21It's not a bad quote. I would almost want that shirt now.
16:26Dave, are you going to party with the team tonight? I have been contacted. I'm debating
16:33about it. I don't know. We'll see. Cause that, wow. You like, it would be an incredible night.
16:43Eddie and climb might be like, what's this guy doing? Yeah. We got a dozen of more
16:48noodle tomorrow. It's like, well, he just doesn't care. Yeah. It's a real tough spot.
16:54Are you not a fence? Well, he's not captain of the year. He's not captain of the year,
16:59Kevin. I don't care about those types of accolades. I don't know. Like, I don't really
17:05know anybody. I mean, I know Derek White's the story I've talked to him. I know you've had him
17:08on the show, but like Tatum occasionally likes us who would be awkward for you. If Al Horford
17:16sister was there. Yeah. She hates me. She hates you. She hates you. She hates all of us. I'm
17:26happy for Al Horford. That was me too. Like that. I don't think I'm going to say something here.
17:30I don't think Al Horford likes his sister. Now you're definitely not partying tonight.
17:36She's just so in your face about everything. And he seems like you're going to ask him too.
17:41If you go, he will. I love Al Horford. I love, I love Al. His dad's at every game. Seems like
17:48nice guy. His sister fucking hates our guts. It, everyone has a sibling. I would just like
17:54take it down a level for a second. Yeah. I love you. I don't like you. You're a pain.
17:59Yeah. So it's like a fucking my homes loves the brother. I was like, come on. Like one time,
18:05can you not be like creating controversy around me? So just the weirdest thing in the world that
18:10for the longest time, everyone thought it was his girlfriend. That was such a weird
18:13dynamic that everyone's wife and she always had to correct.
18:17Listen, I feel like I've never, I don't say anything. Kirk went at her one time. I mean,
18:21she's taken no less than a thousand shots at me or Barstool. I don't reply because,
18:26because Al it's like, so whatever. She hates everybody. She hates us. She, she, we, we could
18:33be, she has an image of myself and Barstool that's in her head that will never change.
18:38And she doesn't like it. So yeah, I don't know. It's crazy. It's just, they, they always win.
18:47They always win. Oh, and you won $1.5 million. That's probably the best bet I've ever made in
18:58my life. Like the, to, I mean, I've won obviously the big bets, but I had to, for like Yukon,
19:06I had to put 600, but I had to put 600 to win that. Like this was 16 to one because it was
19:13with Scotty, with Scotty. When he was on a Saturday morning at Stu Finer's house.
19:19That's where I placed that bet in big cat's cave or whatever he calls it.
19:23Dave, I was thinking last night too, about the guy you told me about at the final four.
19:28What a night for him. The guy who, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw him. He won over a million
19:33too. He, he, Kevin, there was a guy who, who we met at the final four, who every single bet he
19:38made from like literally the start of football season all the way till now, he would just add
19:45the Celtics to win the championship. So he would bet literally like Rams minus two and a half
19:50against the Seahawks parlay with the Celtics to win the championship. So he had just a hundred
19:56just open till the Celtics won the title. And it, by the way, the Celtics showed how much
20:02Vegas always knows the Bay, the Celtics were a monster favorite for basically all-star break
20:09on like a ridiculous favorite. And it wasn't close. It just wasn't there. I mean, they,
20:14they weren't threatened at all. And that's that wall. Great. Will be when I put my
20:22list together, which we'll put this title kind of towards the bottom, right? Championship Kyrie.
20:27I think this is dead last. I mean, Kyrie, by the way, didn't even put up a fight.
20:32He just rolled over. It's almost like not, he got, he was so bad. He was, he was not putting
20:40up a fight. He was like, actually apologize. I had that one game when he was like telling people
20:45the one I was at to get louder. And he said the five leaving the most parties, like I was a jerk
20:51when I was in Boston, I wasn't ready for it. And he sucked. I hate that. It's like, whatever
20:58you're mature and you showed growth, but that's not, you don't, you don't get to do that. And
21:02then just like slither your way out of, of the beating that you deserve. Yeah. I mean, he, he
21:06wanted Owen something. I know he's one in 14. They won the one game since the logo stopped.
21:12He still hasn't won on the guard. So it's just the mortal combat, like total victory. It was
21:18it would have been interesting if the Mavs had ever gotten a lead in the series or Kyrie had
21:23played well, what he would have, how he would have acted. Cause it like, he had no leg to stand
21:27on. It was just over. There were almost no meaningful shots in the series. No, like the
21:35game three Luka fouled out. Like that was, that was the game where it's like the Mavs got that
21:40big comeback. We're down three. And then he falls out. It's like, that was the moment. Yeah.
21:44Because they were down 20. If they come back, Celtics blow that changes the series. But
21:48in that happened with the law, it's still, I mean, it was still like seven, eight point
21:52game down the street. There were, there wasn't, it was a, it was a uneventful thrashing is what
21:57it was. So, all right. I'll see you guys in Chicago tomorrow. The dozen ZD go by this thing
22:07is just a gas machine. And also I don't, I that's the rundown.
22:13But you can't say the curse of Penn. Like since I've gotten the company back, I've won everything.
22:20I have, it's right back. It's like, I have a video that I'm working on right now. And,
22:29and I think it's exact. Like, I think we restarted time. I think it's like that happened.
22:35Celtics in oh eight. I think the Yankees are going to win the world series this year. And I'm like,
22:39right back in hell. Oh no. Restarted. The Yankees win the world series, Kevin. I mean, they're out
22:46of this. Yeah. But you got the grimace. I got grimace. I was like, yeah. Mets fans are talking
22:50about grimace. And he's hanging banners 40 games over 500, but I got grimace. Did you see
22:59since grimace? They're undefeated since grimace through the first.
23:05Sarah, the wild card. And they did, I know this is day is run down, but Kevin,
23:10the wild card in baseball is they screwed that up so bad. Dude, the Mets are so bad.
23:14The Cubs are so bad. There were two games out, but two games out. They're so bad.
23:19Like I wouldn't even want to be in the, in the playoffs.
23:26No, it's, it's insane. I saw it the other day. It was like the Cubs are in last place,
23:30the NL central. And they showed the wild card. It was like, we're two and a half games out. It's
23:33like, this is the, you ruin the playoffs. That's not a playoff team. Yeah. And if you do make it,
23:38you just get, it's like, it's like, it becomes basketball. It's like the 18th. It's like,
23:42see you later. Yeah. All right. Well, I'm sure. Well, we'll see you in a couple of months. I'm
23:47sure. I mean, Drake may not be good, but he probably will be. I'm telling you, we restarted.
23:54It's like, there's been a tear. It's got to be the worst feeling ever. It is. It is. It's like,
23:59I just had to live through it again. The other thing, thank God. I, you know,
24:02what I think about every day in these moments, like the only thing that makes me, so I don't
24:07actually kill myself is that I benefit financially from all this. When you're just a regular, like
24:12New York sports fan, if you're just a regular New York Jets, Mets, Knicks fan, it's like,
24:16you get nothing from it. It's the word I feel for those guys. Those are the people
24:20who are suffering the most right now. There's just nothing. Yeah. Go buy a shirt, buy all the shirts,
24:27literally all the shirts, buy every single shirt. All right. See ya.
