and the Warriors kept the receipts. This is Game 4 of the 2022 NBA Finals. Welcome to Games with Names. I'm Julian Edelman. They're Jack and Kyler, and we are on a mission to finding the greatest game of all time. We have a great episode coming up with hilarious comedian Blake Anderson.

And if you haven't already, drop a like and subscribe to Games with Names. Let's go. Games with Names is a production of our. heart radio. Strike. The strike was. Because I work out Fox and I do the pregame show. And so that's a different sector.

But there's still like the Hollywood sector on the Pico campus or whatever. So there would be like fucking strikers out the whole time like looking at us all wrong going into work. I'm like sports, bro. Yeah. We're doing sports. Peace. I stand with you. I'm a man of the people.

Yeah. Fuck. You were a scab. I was a scab. I said, I'm not Doug Flutie. I'm not Flutie. Dude, Flutie was a scab.

Dude, he was a scab. Oh, for you. The NFL scab. Floody's my boy, though. We got to interview him at the last Super Bowl. That guy is cool. Dude, he's a stud. So I'll tell you a Flutie story.

Okay, I like this. I like this. So I'm sitting in, we're sitting in the locker, or we're sitting in the training room, and there's a huge rainstorm in Boston. And we're all sitting there. and they're reporting on it

and one of the streets is over flooded in Boston and all of a sudden you see fucking flutie in a canoe in the background. He's like, what's up? And everyone's like, that's Doug Flutty. He's in the... He's like a flute. He's an insane surfer.

Is he? Yeah. He does give that vibe totally. He has good flow too. Great flow. He's a stud athlete at like everything. Yeah. Like, I don't know.

Is there such thing as like quarterback brain? Like the bro, He was like a computer. Like his knowledge was crazy. Like it just felt like when you talk to him, he just the way he talked about the game was insane. I guarantee if you sat down with a cornerback, you would not,

you would say yes, there's definitely a quarterback. Okay, okay, that's what I thought. That's what I thought. Well, those motherfuckers are athletic. Yeah, yeah. That's all you need to be. That's why I was surprised.

I was like, wow, this guy is like hyper-intelligent towards the game. like, but I guess you have to be. But so who's the quarterback? The dumbest quarterback? No, who's the quarterback brain? Marcus Russell. In your group of comics.

Oh, like, in my squad between me, Ders and Adam, or you're saying like, yeah, and your squad, who's the quarterback brain? Oh, man. I mean, Ders is the most intelligent as far as like, yeah, yeah, I would say Ders. Because he breaks down, like, movies and, like, he attacks things from a writer's perspective. So, like, he was kind of the one who was, like, breaking down the formula of comedy. Why you watch a TV show and an episode is good, there's usually, you can break it down, why. Which is, like, a quarterback because he has to know conceptually what's going on with everything.

Right. At the line of scrimmage, the offense, the line, the running back, the receiver. So that's the quarterback break. Yeah, Durs is definitely the quarterback. Ders is the quarterback. Yeah. He's using that term. Quarterback brain. I like that.

Quarterback brain, we gotta use it. Bro, I don't want to out. Flutty. You remember his rider when he came on the pod, though? What? Remember his, like, rider, like the things he wanted us to have for him? What was it? Five hour energy and starburst.

I was like, bro. I like Flutie. He's stone. That's like the most stoner thing ever. But he's just, I don't think he is at all. I think he's anti-stone. I believe it. He's like full, what is it,

eugenics? Yeah, he's been Frank Thomas, bro. You're still bricked up. And your girlfriend, like him too. No low tea around those guys. We were grilling him about that because when we did the Super Bowl show,

we took our testosterone test and I scored the lowest unfortunately. But I took it early. I was tired. But yeah, so we were like, you should maybe get me on a cycle or something. but you just become the third guy in the commercials. Hey, hey, Doug.

I'm in a canoe. Seriously, bro. All right. Welcome to Games with Names. Today we are looking at Game 4 of the 22 NBA finals. Yes. Between the Warriors and Celtics. Wow.

With Blake Anderson from Workaholics himself. I'm hyped. I'm so juiced. I needed this in my life as a Warriors fan. I actually watched it last night and it brought me back to just such a happy place. It did it?

I think 2022 might have been the greatest year ever. Why? I feel like, you know, we were like just kind of like hot out of like COVID. So like I was done with like just doing puzzles all day. We were back in the streets. Like sports were firing on all cylinders.

We had like the year before to clear all the air and we were just back. We were back at it. Boy, were we? I just remember as soon as like the regulations and everything left, there was like a renaissance. Everyone was just getting hammered. People were fighting at stadiums. People didn't know how to react to people.

Yeah. It was like a fun time. Yeah. I mean, I was just like for a year just listening to like rush and doing puzzles. That was it. So once the, once the chains came off, I was ready to party. Perfect. Parties. I mean, geez. In one sentence, why did you pick this game?

Steph Curry is my battery. Steph Curry is your battery? Yes. He's like, just watching him again, like, I don't think Steph really looks back on his career because it's not time yet. He's not done yet. Still going. And neither do I. So that, as a fan, I don't really like look at what he's done. But when I watch vintage Steph Curry, it's so invigorating.

Like he is just like, he's just the man, dude. He's the man. He makes me feel more alive when I watch him. Is this the greatest game of all time? This game, it's so hard to pick one with Steph. Like he has so many great games. But I like this game a lot because you can just sense the fear the Celtics have of Steph becoming Steph.

What is the greatest game of all time? Any sport? That's a really, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a puzzler. The greatest game of any sport? That's what this podcast is kind of like. It's kind of like you during COVID. We just sit and listen to Rush and try to figure the puzzle out of what the best game of all time is. The best game of all time is. The best game of all. time. I mean, look, the one that's just coming to mind just because I think it will like,

everybody as people from the United States might be able to agree, like, remember the in the Olympics when it was the Steph Curry game against France? That game was pretty sick. Steph Curry and LeBron. And LeBron. And finally had a chance to root for LeBron. Like, of course, I'm a LeBron hater sports-wise. I love LeBron. I think he's, well, I think Steph's the goat. but LeBron is one of the greatest, if not the greatest basketball player athlete of all time. But I have never got to root for him. Yeah. I mean, that's what's been really cool about all this baseball, baseball classic, the Olympics with the hockey team in the future or the spring Olympics coming up with the basketball.

Spring Olympics. Spring Olympics will go off. It's just like flower picking. Yeah. It'd be safe. But you get to root for guys you normally hate. Yes. That's the beauty of it.

It is. That's why I kind of get bummed at like all-star games across the board with all sports are kind of like losing luster. But like back in the day, all-star games as a kid, like that was you got to root for people that you admired or hated. They were like the opposite end of the, you know, they were on other teams. So it was just like a cool moment where people came together. That's what life should be about. 1,000% Yeah, coming together.

Now, take us through your sports fandom. You're from the Bay. I am. Who are your teams? I am a 49er, Oakland Athletic, Warrior Shark. That's it. That's almost kind of like a

Long Island person that likes the Giants and the Mets. That's kind of weird. Because I'm a Bay guy, I'm a West Bay kid. You're conquered where De La Salle was. Absolutely.

The elite high school that everyone heard about. We beat them in improv, though. We did beat them in improv. You had an improv against the team? Yes, we had an improv. Devil Mountain Improv League. Mount Diablo, yes. Or how we say it, Diablo, Mount Diablo.

We got to hear more about this league. That's crazy. Yes. So you guys just sit and improv against each other? You would go to the schools and you would do an improv show, like whose line is it anyway? ways or whatever. So we pulled up to De LaSalle. See, this is how gangster we were, dude. So I was pretty good at improv. Yeah. Clearly you guys have improv. Yeah. We would pull up to schools, like,

whether it's like Ignacio Valley or De La Salle. And people at their schools would be there like with signs for us for Clayton Valley. Because they were like, you know, like Blake and Teddy and Kyle are really funny. Wow. Yeah, we flipped. But isn't, but isn't, acting so subjective? How do they grade it? No, no. You watch the Oscars, man. It's, it's competition. You have to approach acting, not as an art. It is a sport. It is a sport. That's some Salomey brain right there. I love that. There's winners and there are losers. Is there a trophy or belt? There was a trophy. Actually, what you would win is a bottle of gold shlogger. And yes, we weren't, we weren't legal. We weren't allowed to drink it. And actually, James Fester took the bottle and he

threw it out of a van because he didn't want us drinking it. Still pissed about that, dude. You guys literally got a bottle of gold dust? Gold slugger. Remember it had the gold dust. Yeah. It had real gold. We could have siphoned the gold and like made money or something.

The fact that James threw it out the van was absolutely, it like broke my brain. I was so mad at him. But he was so against underage drinking. And shout out to James. Shout out. That's probably the best thing for it. Yeah. Like honestly, you're a good dude.

But like, I wanted to drink that gold slugger so bad. It's a great. It's cinnamon flavor. It's filled of golden slug. Yeah. Is there uniforms? Like, I'm really, I can't get past this improv team competition. Our school did have uniforms.

Yeah, we had, like, red jerseys. You could, like, you could choose what type you want. You could have, like a basketball, like, like a tank top. You could, I went with soccer. It was really cool, dude. You have an awesome. That's so sick. Shout out Tom, Tom Wills, my theater teacher.

Let's go Tom Wills. How that out, man. I was a gangster. Did you play any other sports or anything? Other sports? I mean, we were put that in the sport category. Theater sports.

I grew up playing soccer. Soccer? Yeah, yeah. And I did a little bit of baseball, but I was, I wasn't good. I was bad at baseball.

So what position in soccer? I was actually a fullback. I played defense. And then, you know, as you get older, they started move me up to like sweeper because I could cover a lot of ground.

But I wasn't, I kind of would get scared when I got to the goal. Like I didn't know how to put the ball in the net. Yeah. But I could take it all the way up the field. He just couldn't finish it. Yeah, just like, then I'd be like, what do I do now?

Just kind of kick it out of bounds. Kind of like the fast kid from a D2 Mighty Ducks who had all the speed, but he couldn't stop or score. Yes, exactly. So you have speed? Yeah, I was pretty fast. That's Rodriguez. Rod Rodriguez. Yeah, I was pretty fast for a while.

And then I don't know if I'm fast anymore, though. Now that I'm a grown man, I don't think I'm that fast. What's up with Oakland losing every sports team? It truly breaks my heart. I don't, it makes me so sad. When I think about it, it just breaks my heart because I feel like what's going to happen to Oakland? Like, it's losing its entire identity. It's so sad, dude.

It is. It's like ripping the heart out of the bay. It's Oakland and San Francisco, and that is what it is and the fact that there's no team. left in Oakland is just so sad. Like, what's going to happen besides it turned into like a weird, like, artist community? Or it just goes away. Yeah, it's a sad thing because, I mean, I was a West Bay kid and I was diners, giants. But everyone always had love for the A's.

It may have been the hat. It may have been, you know what I mean? All time. All time hat. And the Warriors. Basque, Oakland, come across the bay to the San Fran. Have you been? to that arena? The new one?

I haven't been to the new arena. Is it good? I have. Chase? Yes, I have. It's fucking sick. It's not Oracle, though. It's not Oracle. Oracle was like, it's the same thing with, like, all the new arenas. It's like, to me, I describe them as they kind of feel like airports, you know? Yeah, because you can self-check out and do all the crazy shit. Exactly. Exactly.

Hit the Hudson News. Exactly. It just doesn't feel like alive, like, and it's part of the city or the town or whatever. It just, yeah, but the roots, do you, do you mess with the roots, the soccer team? I'm more of a rev's guy. Oh, okay, cool, cool. Roves guy, revolution. Yeah, the earthquakes. The quakes, yeah, I'm down for the quakes, down for them. But yeah, like Oakland Roots play at the Coliseum, like, so at least it's not like, man, completely deserted. The Coliseum, bro. I played a game, I got to play in the Coliseum. You did? Doing what? Football. Oh, yeah.

I'm like, I forgot where I was. That's right. You had a wonderful one man. The Raiders used to play there. I'm like, because I played like a celebrity softball game there. I'm like, did you do like a celebrity softball game?

Nah. I forgot. I forgot that the football team also played there. Yeah. I mean, it was, there was a true home field advantage in Oakland, man. My mom or the jersey almost got killed.

Oh my God. Dude, it was so sick how, like, the baseball diamond would be in the middle of the football field. Like, that was so special. It was special, but it was terrible for the athletes. What was the deal? Were the groundskeepers just like, fuck it? No, it's because they were in both seasons. They're like, yo, they're playing.

You guys wrap it up. Wrap it up. The A's have to play tonight. Yeah. But hockey and basketball can do it. Yeah, but you can't put, like, sod grass on the dirt because it would be a looser grass. so then you could blow out a knee or something. Okay.

I guess I see that. Or just man up, dude. Or just man up. Or just man up. Or just man up. But if you get a little raspberry from the dirt, some could say that's manning up. You're doing that.

Some can say that's manning up. That's cool, man. What's your, what's your Mount Rushmore or the Bay? Athletes, you're saying. Just the Bay. Just the Bay? Bay Area.

as clam chowardy sourdough Matt Dre. What is that? E40, absolutely. Look, I think of people. So, yeah, I'll say E40. Steph Curry. Ricky Henderson.

Ricky. Who's going to get? I'll go. I'll go MacDray, for sure. MacDray? Yeah. That's a good list. No, no Joe Mortier.

Oh, dude. I love Joe. I love Joe. I was a Joe guy. Oh, me too. Joe Montana was the absolute goat. But I also really loved Ronnie a lot. Who didn't?

I played a regular season with his pinky cut off. I know. That's real bay. Real crazy. That's real cray. That's real cray. Now, how do you be a Niners fan when you're from the East Bay? Just because the Niners were that sick?

It's just how my father raised me. Raised your, that's how it goes. If you look at, there's like he was a good dad like that. that like he would dress me up in all, in all Niners stuff, put like a Budweiser in my hand. There's plenty of like, Mr. Anderson rules. Yeah, yeah. There's plenty of photos of me just like head to toe Niners gear with a beer. And I'm three.

I miss the 90s. Yeah, it was good. I missed the 90s, especially in those old Niners. The old Niners gear was sick. You probably had the gold jacket. Remember the gold? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

That's Mando. Man. It's Mando. Mando. You got to have the gold jacket. Is there a celebrity Bay chat group?

Like a Bay celebrity chat group that you're in or anything? You know? Like are you fans with any other? Like there's no group. There should be a Bay Area group chat. That actually would be really dope. Like from time to time

like Andy Sandberg will hit me up because he's Berkeley. Like I'm homies with like Bay Area rappers like Pila. and all that, but that's mostly just like through like DMs. There's not like a Bay Area of like group techs, which would be

off the chain. We need to get it going. I know. I might join it too. That would be cool. You got to be the starter. Yeah, you guys got to be the starters. I got to start it. So we just I couldn't be the starter because I have too much Boston now. Yeah. Yeah. What's the deal? Like, I still love. I mean, I grew up

loving the Niners, Giants. Yeah. Warriors until they got good. Yeah. Because I left when they got good. I went to college and then I moved to Boston and then I'm like I wasn't going to stay up until 12 o'clock to watch a game. I know. It's so crazy watching sports on the

East Coast. It's insane. Like, you forget how nice it is out here that you can like go to dinner after football's done. Yeah. Out there. You're on the couch all day long. Maybe get a brunch in, but you're on the couch all day long watching football.

Doesn't sound terrible. I know, but maybe, you know, Sunday, you get a nice Sunday dinner with the family, seven, eight o'clock. I mean, I think I'd rather watch live sports than whatever the fuck I'm watching on YouTube at night. Like, now I just go down a hole of like, what's the best frozen food at Trader Joe's?

It's like, what am I doing? What am I watching? Those ass browns? I think it's like the Indian food. Oh, yeah. Like the butter junkie. I like the Tiki masala burritos they got. Do they have them still have them?

Kind of fire. Yeah, they're here. I don't think they discontinued. Sometimes they like find glass. in their food. Yeah. It's chill. What was the chili,

My latest episode is with Noah Kahn, the singer-songwriter behind the multi-platinum global hit stick season, and one of the biggest voices in music today. Noah opens up about the pressure that followed his rapid success. his struggles with mental health and body image, and the fear of starting again after such a defining moment in his career. It's easy to look at somebody and be like, your life must be so sick. Man, you have no clue.

Talking about the mental illness stuff, it used to be this thing that I was ashamed of. I'm just now trying to unwind this idea that I have to be unhealthy physically or in pain in some emotional way in my life to create good music. If someone says that I did a good job, I'm like, yeah, I'm good. If someone says that I suck, I'm like, I suck. Getting to talk about this is not common for me. Right now I need it more than ever.

Yes, dude. He pulled up legend. Love that guy. Literally one of the funniest stand-up comedians of all time. He is a funny MFer. Dude, very funny. And actually, you know, it was like a booze cruise, but Swartson's like straight and narrow now.

Thank God. Because of his health. Yes, because of his health. Thank God. He wanted to let everyone know. It's not because he did anything. is because of his health. Yes, and we're all happy for him.

Very happy. And he was good on the cruise. He stayed, he was kind of like the spirit guide. Like he, he knew what he was talking about. The Shaw? Yeah. The day before. The shaman.

Too much Iranian. That's a word guy. That a word guy. He, uh, the day before we had to leave, he like took me aside and he's like, just so you know, if you're not off the ship by seven, they will beat the four. fuck out of you. Like, take it seriously. Like, get out of here. Be ready to go.

And I was like, that's cool because I would have slept in for sure. 1,000% you got to. So I spent the whole last night just like stressing, like packing like at 3 a.m. Like, oh God, they're going to kill me. I'm going to get left in Mexico. Which wouldn't be terrible.

Right now? We pulled up during that. Oh. Like when the whole cartel thing was going down, Like my mom's, like, texting me. My dad's texting me like, are you sure it's okay to go to Cozumel or whatever? And I'm, like, looking at CNN, but you don't really get any sort of like, what's it called? News?

It's, uh, hard, uh, you don't get any sort of news? Give me some answers. No, what's it? Reception. Reception. Oh, there is. Reception. Reception. Come on, man, you get news.

They're like, hey, beer bongs on the deck. You get news. You get news. no, no reception. So I'm like, I don't, I don't know. We're just going to go. And we, it was, it was lit. Senior frogs was popping off, dude.

Sure, there were armed guards everywhere in the streets with machine guns. But that, to me, that feels safe. And it brings the excitement up. Yeah, it's like, maybe we can get these guys to do a shot. Like, come on. Dude, senior frogs, we're all family. Come on. Dude, I love senior frogs.

All-timer. It's the best. So what is this comedy cruise? You guys go on a cruise and everyone, what do you perform on the cruise? We did, um, we did two live podcasts and then it's basically just like drinking games. And then we got a ton of like really awesome stand-up comedians

and a couple musical acts as well. That sounds awesome. Dude, I was like dreading it because I'm like, oh, we're trapped on a boat with like fans who could be insane. Yeah. But everybody who came on the ship like was so cool, man. It just was like, it was a great time. You know, when you're like around people and everybody's just like, the vibes are good

and you just come out of it being like, yeah, man, this can work. Yeah. Like, people can be cool and it can rock and we can all just be happy. Yeah. It was very, it was very uplifting. That sounds so fun. How was food? Food was mid.

Never been. Never been on a cruise. Me neither. Honestly, I didn't eat that much. I just had like pot stickers here and there. It's a solid go to. Dude. That's a solid.

You can never, you can't fuck up a pot sticker. I mean, there's good pot stickers and there's bad pot stickers, but even a bad pot sticker is like a size of pizza. It's good. Exactly. So it'd be like, I'd be passing and I'd say, oh, pot stickers and just handful of cowl. And then other than that, it was like buzz balls and beer. Hell yeah.

Man, just getting lit. Dude. V, V lit. V lit. Now, can you smoke on those things? You can't, which is crazy. I think there might be smoking cruises, maybe. or like you just wait until you get to Mexico

and then it's just bong rips and then you're back. It's mostly edibles. It's edible. Probably pens. Yeah, but they even like the pens. They're like, the trip on pens.

How are they going to see you outside? I see, I'm pictured, I never went on a cruise. I'm picture. Me neither. Oh, you weren't there? I wasn't there, bro. If you saw me, you didn't see me. I'm thinking of Titanic where they got a lot of time outside on the deck

and it's outside at night. They're smoking. They were totally over on Titanic. A lot of time off boat and titanium. They were bonged. They were like, dude, wait. You know, like most of the iceberg is like below?

He's like, nah, that one's small, dude. Ah, I think it's bigger on the bottom, dude. Just go around it. All right,

we're going around it. Yeah. Sick. Just driving it like his little cutless, cutless, Supreme. Yeah. Back up,

back up. We hit the bird. We hit the bird. Ghost ride the fucking ship. Damn, ghost ride the ship. Okay, we could throw a Bay Area cruise called Ghost Ride the Ship. That's whole.

Right there. Like honestly. E40. Before hologram Mac Dre. We'll throw a Mac Mall. Too short will be in there. Too cheesy. We'll bring Jerry Rice.

He's in. Joe Montana. Let's go. A hologram of Dwight Clark. Howie Long. This is all. Uh, who's captaining the ship? Clay Thompson.

He loves the ocean. He loves the ocean. He used to drive to work on a boat. I know. And then he started riding a bike. That's sick. Not school. Dude, I honestly, I know that that cruise would sell out so quick.

I'm getting straight one, 106 KMEL fucking summer fest vibes. Dude, at 949, wild 949. Kiss FM. 98.8. get at me. Rennell in the morning. Can't go wrong. We're a now in the morning.

Raised me. Raised me. Oh my God. The oldies. Look at Captain Clay. There's our captain. I love him. You know what?

I might have to take back Dre off just to put Clay on my Mountain Rushmore. Dude. I hate that I'm saying that, but I love Clay Thompson with all my heart. I love you, Clay. You are a great person. We did a commercial with Clay and his people sent a deck, like a five slide deck on how much he loves the ocean.

That was it. That's all it was, which is pictures of him on the ocean. like this being like, Clay loves the ocean because it's wet. Clay loves the ocean because he eats the food from it. Dude. Five pages. I love that.

Dude. Shout out to Anta, his shoes. Onta. The Chinese brand. Boom. I think they're paying him like $30 million a year for them. They say they might get Steph now too. See?

The rumors. That's smart. I love that. Why retire in Florida when you can just go to China? Do Chinese food? China is the Florida of Asia. Duh. Yeah.

I thought that was V. Vietnam. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Vietnam is definitely the Florida. Or Thailand's in there, too. Thailand could be like the Bahamas. South of the States.

Dude, I'm dying to go to South Asia. Everyone that goes to South Asia say it says it's so cheap. It's fucking awesome. Food's great. I'm like afraid to go there because I think I'd like it too much. And that'd be like one of those like just like white hermit crab men. Those ex-pat crazy. Just like here he comes.

and saying, yeah, pot stickers. I don't know if they're called pot stickers. Lady boys. They're definitely called dumplings or some sort. Yeah, I think pot stickers is like an old word. Yeah, I think that's... I might be canceled off of that. No, you're cancel all the pot stickers.

I hope not. Gioza. Gioza. My boy. My boy. Gioza. Hit me with the Gioza. Tell me when to Gioza.

Tell me when to Gioza. Dude, everything's a... You could bay anything up. Honestly. You literally could. The Bay Area is so good at branding. It's crazy. I still, I'll get in a wormhole like you said when you're on YouTube.

I'll get a wormhole just listen to the E40 speak. Oh yeah. What are you talking about? Dude, he through my childhood, every CD in the back said, wait for E40's dictionary book of slang like coming to bookstores. I don't think he ever dropped it. He needs to do it. Yeah, it's time.

That'd be a New York best seller. Oh, top of the charts. Oh, my. my god. Come on. You get a yang. What an only eat, motherfucker. Gooda. Guda. That white, what was that? My ghetto report card when that came out? I was rocking that in Ohio. People look at me like, what the fuck are you listening to you? That's so cool. Everyone who's not from the Bay hates Bay music. They used to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It infiltrated like, I feel like DJ Mustard, for what it's worth, he has a Bay Area sound and he was kind of. But then again, I'm, I'm,

in such a California bubble. I don't, I'm so West Coast, dude. See, I went, when I went, I never left the West Coast and I went to college. I was 19 in Ohio. Swag. And all the guys were from like Maryland, Florida,

Georgia, Texas, some from Ohio, and no one. They're like, you guys are so weird. You guys are so weird. You guys say hell all the time. It was just like, no one fucked with it. Now it's changed. it's become cool.

Yeah, but that was also what was cool about. That was the cool of it that no one fucked with it but us. Exactly. We wore our weird. We're like, we're happy to be weird. That's kind of like what Mack Dre was like the poster child for. It was like,

whoa, what's this like weird hip hop guy who's doing Molly and wearing huge sunglasses and still pretty active in gang culture as well? It's like, what the hell? Just it didn't add up. It didn't make sense. In Kansas City.

Casey took out Dre, bro. Took out our guy. It's crazy. Crazy. Can you walk us through how you guys formed the workaholics group? I mean, it started in community college. That's where I met. Orange.

Orange Coast Community College. Go Pirates. Coast of Mesa. Shout out. It's the Bay of L.A. Great mall. Great mall, great mall. I met Adam in community college in improv class,

and it was kind of a moment where, like, you know, coming from my high school, I felt like I was pretty much the funniest guy at school, but then, like, you know, you go to college and people from other places and was like, whoa, this dude is actually really funny. Like, holy shit, maybe we should be friends. And kind of, like, talk to him and found out, like,

he used to film stuff with his homies and make sketches back in Omaha. And then that's like what me and my boy Kyle used to do and conquered. And it was kind of like, well, maybe we start shooting stuff together. And what, like, they ended, Adam and Kyle ended up moving to Hollywood. And I stayed back in OC. And that's where Adam met Durs at Second City. And they started to film stuff. And it was kind of like, well, there's still this dude Blake in Orange County who,

maybe we can get him involved. So we just started shooting sketches and putting them on YouTube. Well, first it was MySpace. Yeah. And like just having other... Tom. Yeah, Tom.

Top eight, maybe. Still top eight, baby. Yeah, it was just weird. It was cool to be able to put... Because we, you know, we were filming stuff and just there was nowhere to show it. Public access maybe. Like, but nobody's watching that.

But then when you started with the internet and YouTube, like you started getting views, people started to like watch you. It was like, holy, like this, maybe this is the way. Yeah. I mean, pioneers. Yeah. Low key.

Low key, very pioneering. It was. We, it was very too short in that way. We got it out of the trunk, man. We were really independent hustled. You know, it was funny because when you brought up like, when you met Adam and he was like, you were the funniest guy at your school. And he, like, then you meet people from other school.

It reminded me of when, you know, when I went to call, and you're playing football and you're like, I was a baddest motherfucker on my high school. Then you see some other dude like, oh that motherfucker he was a badest high school

and his high school. And then you like, it creates almost like a cool competition steel on steel versus steel that makes everyone better. Yeah, dude. Like it,

I kind of expected myself to not like Adam because it's like, wait, this guy maybe is funnier than me. Like, but it wasn't that. It was like,

oh shit. like what if we combine forces? What if we click up and like make something together? Yeah. And that's where it was like, oh, cool, man. That's what it's all about. Like, thank God I didn't go to the community college in the bay, DBC. DVC.

I went to CSM. Yeah. I felt like I just would have probably just been with my same homies from high school and not expanded my horizons. So taking that sort of small leap to go to, Post-a-Mesa was actually a pretty big jump in my life. 1,000%? Yeah.

That's awesome. Yeah, man. It's cool. Did you guys actually live in that house? We did. Yeah, we lived in Van Nuys together. That's the house we shot workaholics in. So me, Adam, Kyle, who's Carl, the drug dealer,

and he's the director of most of workaholics. Has since gone on to do Happy Gilmore, too. Shout out to Kyle. Shout out. Kyle. He directed Jules in the commercial. He directed me in a Verizon commercial. Yes, I remember we were grilling him because Kyle, like, doesn't know any sports at all.

It was like, dude, like, come on, man. This is like a cool opportunity. It was fun. I think we had, I was on a big letter or something. There's like a big Verizon sign with, what's her name, the funny S&L chick? Kristen Wig. Years ago. This was, I think this was like eight, eight years ago.

Oh, it'll come to me. I forget. A Verizon commercial. Oh, so. Cecily's strong. Oh, yeah. Very funny. That's cool, man.

How was Kyle? Was he adornment? He was cool. No, he was really cool. Too laid back? No. You know, as an athlete, when you go on sets of things, you don't know if you're getting everyone's real how they are with the actor. Right, right, right.

Because they're still like, oh, this guy's an athlete. Right. Yeah, that was it. Dude. Look at you. That's all CGI. Is that the Coliseum? You weren't there?

No, that's all green screen, baby. Damn. That's Hollywood Magic. Movie magic. That is a real letter though, right? Dude, we had to do our thing on a big ass, like, letters. Like, I was Donald Duckin. It's like Sesame Street? Full. Have you done Sesame Street?

No. Dang. No. I didn't know they're still wrong. Yeah. It's on like Max though now, I think, right? It's on HBO. Yeah, I don't need on PBS. Is it on PBS? Now they're so nudity? No, no. That's cool. Sesame Street, HBO, Max. The Cookie Monster doesn't eat cookies anymore.

more though. He's vegetables, I think. That's ridiculous. It used to be a country. You have the kids, you kind of get it. Because the sugar does, it is addicting for these little fucks. Hey, man, that's my biggest cross to bear is sugar. Sugar. You're a sugar fiend.

Oh, man, I love sugar. What's your favorite sugary thing? I love, like, sour candy. Oh, my God. I just will smash like Sour Patch Kids. But I go deep, man. It's bad. I was always a sour punch person.

I like Sour Punch way better. a sour patch. Yo, they used to have these things called punchies. They were like... The cut up ones. Yeah. I just liked the...

I liked it better. I thought they were a little sweeter. Look, that's a good product. I'm not gonna dogg on that at all. I'm not gonna dogg on that at all. The sweet father. Oh, yeah. So good.

You're the sweet for the sugar dad. Sugar, Dad. You didn't want to say Daddy so bad that you called... You said Sugar Father? What did you say? Sweet father. He's a sweet dad.

He's a sweet dad, man. You can call me sugar daddy. It's fine. Sugar daddy. Sweet father. Sweet, I am your father. I'm watching those right now with my kid. Star Wars.

Star Wars. Watch all the Star Wars. From the news. Well, we're starting from chronological order. Or from the timeline. I'm sorry. So we started episode one, two, three. That's a bummer.

Dude, she's into it. Really? I wasn't that crazy into it as a kid, but it's been fun to get into it. I loved Star Wars. I was like, all in. When I saw Chewbacca, I'm like, yeah. It's fun to rewatch them in order. Oh, yeah, no, those movies are cool.

Like, I like the Podracer one. Yeah, and she's so, like, infatuated, like, wait, so... Anakin's bad because he wanted to save his wife? Dang. You know what I mean? The dark's, like, learning the way of the Sith. She's like, but that's saving his wife. Dang, that's heavy.

Wasn't that heavy. I was like, yeah. Then why are you crying? Why are you talking about it? I just like the pod races, okay? What about Jar Jar Jar? She, in her out on Jar Jar Jar Beech. She, I don't think she really cared about him.

I don't, she was all about, she, I think she fell in love with the love. Because she's nine, turn in 10 and like, Patamee and, Anakin story. And there's a meme going around with the kids about Darth Vader with his helmet off. So she's like super infatuated with like, wait, this guy's hand. He's like good looking. And Darth Vader's ugly. And then we saw when he gets all burned up, she goes, oh.

Yeah. That's how he becomes Darth Vader. Yeah. And he probably started eating candy too because he's a little heavy when he gets the. He's a sugar dad. He's a sweet father. He's a sweet father for sure. He's a sweet father.

It's impossible. It's literally impossible. So we would be, Driving into L.A. to the improv to go see comedy, Adam would do stand up. Like, he'd kill the set. We'd be like, yo, we got a pool. Like, it's a pretty big house.

They're like, all you have to do is just get on the freeway, drive for 30 minutes and go to Van Nuys. And everybody would be like, yeah, no, that's not happening. So the parties were just us playing beer pong together. Standard. It was cool. It was young 20s. That's what it was, right?

Yeah. But we could not get. any sort of function going, except for the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl people would come out for it. Subi. We always threw really good Super Bowl parties. Why? How?

The story of the sport's most consequential driver strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F-1 career, a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better, and plenty of other mishap scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, dumpster fire for more

My latest episode is with Noah Kohn, the singer-songwriter, the multi-platinum global hit stick season, and one of the biggest voices in music today.

Noah opens up about the pressure that followed his rapid success, his struggles with mental health and body image, and the fear of starting again after such a defining moment in his career. It's easy to look at somebody and be like, your life must be so sick. Man, you have no clue. Talking about the mental illness stuff, it used to be this thing that I was ashamed of.

I'm just now trying to unwind this idea that I have to be unhealthy physically, or in pain in some emotional way in my life to create good music. If someone says that I did a good job, I'm like, yeah, I'm good. Someone says that I suck. I'm like, I suck. Getting to talk about this is not common for me. Right now I need it more than ever.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I love ordering for the group. Yeah. He's very good at it. He's very good at it. That's very good. And thinking about everything and getting everyone.

And when I see the order when people are eating and if everyone is satisfied, feel so happy inside. I see it. I see it in your eyes right now. I don't know. I think food's my love language.

Hey, that for a lot of people, that's a very strong love language. You know, because I enjoy food and when you see others enjoying the food, mm-hmm. Like that's sick.

It gets you going. I don't. I never really asked, like, what's your, like, what's the secret to it? I just enjoy and take part of it, but like, break it down for them. What goes into the order? It's like how some people like hear colors. I get, like you. They get inside the mind of the mask.

I hear appetizers. And not just with the types of food, but the amount. You're like, oh, that one needs to three because I know that's going to be the winner. It's just, you know, it's a refined thing over years of doing. Art, meat, science, all that. What's your Mount Rushmore of appetizers? Oh. These are hard questions.

That's like when you ask me, What's the greatest game ever? Like, I mean, an app. Okay, healthy? I'm saying. Well, I'm just saying, because you always throw a one healthy thing in there because there's always going to be one person,

like, I'm a gluten-free. It goes like a hummus plate of some sort. Okay, okay. Or with, like, the dipping vegetables in like a grilled pita or something. There we go. I'm a huge... I mean, mozzarella cheese sticks.

Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. I used to eat them so fast that I choke on them. I threw up in a chili's two separate times because I just, I just would inhale them. And then they would get lodged and my mom would have to like pull it out of my throat. Not a cheese pole. That's how good those are.

There's, you ever read Ospie? Uh-uh. Ospie's right down. There's like, it's an Italian joint around here in L.A. And they have like this fancy mozzarella stick that my daughter loves. It's a provolone like circle. like cylinder. Or like whatever disc.

Hello. And it has a good vodka on there. So I put that in like the mozzarella stick game. Okay. Wings. I wing. Wings are always a killer. But I got to go three flavors. You always go with a barbecue, a buffalo.

And then some sort of dry rub just to get everyone happy. Absolutely. Some people. Some people don't like them. I also, I had an attempt. Italian joint, a pizza is an appetizer to me. So you get the smaller pizzas, one slice per person, just so we're not rookies. We don't get full on the pizzas because we're in the pasta and the parm and, you know, the Conte comes.

You just said one of the most gangster-ass things I've ever heard. You said a pizza is an appetizer to me. Just as an appetizer. That's gangster. I mean, if you're at the Italian joint, we're not at a pizza joint. Right, right, right, right. We're not at a pizza joint, but some of the Italian joints have like the thin pizzas. It's a good appetizer.

Two salads. One kale, one Caesar. Caesar, everyone loves. No anchovy. Can never have anchovy. There could be a kid there. The original Caesar was not made with anchovies. No, but it does have anchovy paste in it.

Okay. Hey, go off, King. What do you got? That was a topic of conversation the other time we were having a Caesar. Yeah. I didn't know that. was it. Are you sure it's in the Newman's own dressing? Yes. That's crazy to me. It's invented in Tijuana.

That distinct taste that makes it separate from ranch. I still just can't wrap my mind around that. You never see? I know that it's in a Caesar. I know anchovies has at some point along the Caesar lineage became an ingredient. But no one every, like, 90% of the Cesar's I don't have it. It's in the dressing. After you eat it, kind of like smell your breath. Yeah. You can smell. Yeah. That thing that makes it different than ranch. That's also egg yolk in the dressing. You're saying Caesar is just ranch with anchovies in it?

Pretty much, bro. That's true. I don't know. I digress. And yorks. Keep cooking. Yeah. Yeah.

It's a white dressing with some tams. That's not as great as ranch. But it's pretty good. Pretty good. But it can be better than ranch in very specific instances. No, it's not better than ranch. The only thing that's good in the Caesar that you think is better than ranch is the crouton. Oh, yeah.

I do love a crouton. What about that, that thin, the parmesan? Tuesdays fire too. I mean, guys, stop fighting. Do you like, do you like shredded? Do you like the big like, like, slices of the Parmesan? Like when it's like a, like it looks like a patch of skin. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know about that. I like that. Because then you got to use your fork and knife for salad. Yeah. What are we doing? You're cutting the cheese on a Caesar.

We've taken out a wrong turn sometimes. I mean, the apps can go on for days. The salad words continue. Wait, you're only at three right now. We're three or four. No, you've got. I think you went, did five. You did hummus. You did a little mitch. Hummus, mozzarella sticks, three types of wings,

salad. And a pizza. And a pizza. Blake, we gotta get yours, man. Blooming onion. Ooh.

Come on. Good. But that, the sauce is everything. Oh, yeah, it's the best. Like,

probably like a Tex-Mex egg roll. Wings, for sure. Oh, I forgot. Potsiekers are mine, too. Yeah, Gyoza, please. Sorry.

Please. We've advanced. And, What else would be a, I mean, a really dope appetizer? I just like French onion dip with like potato chips. Love, yes. Red Sox have unbelievable French onion dip. Really?

Yeah, in the boxes. I've never been to a, I've never been to a Red Sox. You got to check it. That's pretty tight. It does seem pretty cool. It's just so old, it's cool. Yeah, I love. Like that Wrigley, you know, they're in Wrigley and Green Bay, these like old.

I really want to go to Green Bay. I think that would be a blast. I wanted to just be on the back of some big grizzled dudes Harley and just ride up to a Packers game. Have a brought. Eat a casserole. Yeah, that would be so fun. All right, let's go back into time.

Real quick, I want one question about the house that you filmed. Did you charge production for that? Well, that's kind of how we settled on filming there is, you know, we shot basically a five episode short, short episode thing for YouTube. and that's what Comedy Central saw. And it was like, well, when we got Greenlit to do the production, they're like, you know, where do you want to film it?

And we're like, oh, we'll go take a look at houses and stuff. And we saw some that were cool, but we're like, hey, if we film at our house, will you pay the rent? And they're like, yeah. And we're like, we're shooting here. Let's go. We're shooting here.

I mean, oh, yeah. That's smart. To kill two birds is one stone. Yeah. And we also, you know, we didn't know if we were going to get multiple seasons or whatever. So it was like. free rent for a year? Yeah, at least we get free rent for a year.

Talk about quarterback brain. Let's go. Quarterback brain. That's quarterback brain in the whole field. Big quarterback brain, dude.

Dominion was out. Number one movie. I don't know that one. They're unwatchable. I forgot. Is that a Chris Pratt vehicle? It might be. It might be. After the one where they went to San Diego, I got out.

Remember they went to San Diego in three? Yep. I think that was my last one too. One was legendary. Of course. Ninety-four, we were both kids. Yeah, I saw it in the theater and I had to close my eyes through the second half because I was so scared. Terrified.

Terrified. And I, everybody at school was talking about it. So, like, I had to pretend like I sat through it. But, like, literally I watched it all right there. Oh, yeah. Like the velociraptors were. So real. Dude, if it ain't got Wayne Knight, I'm out.

My role in Jurassic party. Wait for You by Future and Drake featuring Drake was the number one song. Top Gun Mavericks saved the movie studios this year. Bob's Burger movie Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Burn style Shout out to turnstile Those are the homies too Is there a role you missed That you wish you would have got? Just Joker Yeah just being the Joker You went for the joke now

No I was about to say I lost the Heath Ledger I was thinking If you never moved the other one with the other guy, Joaquin Phoenix. It's pretty big role too, I guess.

Yeah. You want an Oscar for it? Yeah. How I got these? Yeah. That would be cool. Jeez. Speaking of TV,

but weren't you just on Celebrity Jeopardy, bro? I was. That was, I kind of how did they go. How was it? I got in the last place, but I answered the second most questions correct. Volume shooter, let's go.

I put up numbers, but I didn't know how to do the daily doubles, man. Oh, man. Really bad. Were you going to mall? Were you going for them? No, I was super skittish. I was like,

what was your daily double question? The one that I missed that I like really bet on was the answer was Leif Erickson. It was a Viking question, which Ders is like Norwegian and like I feel like it was set up for me but I just,

I couldn't summon Leaf Erickson. All I could think was Eric the Red. Eric the Red. I don't remember what the club call. Can you get that phone or friend category on Jeopardy? Yeah. That would have combined. Just take a piece of...

Ogar? What was that one? There's a Vikings show. I was watching that for a while. It was like 10 Vikings show and they're all the same. Yeah, they're all pretty legit, right? They're all good. But they all have like the same characters too.

Yeah, all the like Von Erickson's and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's hard to differentiate. Did you go... Was it a true daily double? I think that one might have been because I was... I had to catch up.

And if I would have got that one, I think I would have won. I was a clicker. The clicker seems really hard, too. I was good at that. Oh, dial. You know, I grew up, I grew up playing video games. So, like, my, my thumb is fast. Yeah.

Like, I can. What was your video game of choice? You know, played a lot of Contra growing up. Metal Gear Solid is probably the best game of all time. Smash Bros. Smash Bros. Yeah. I play a lot of video games.

Just like incredible. Like his parents were there. It's like, good for you, man. He's working the claw. Yeah. Like, he was doing the claw. I think he invented it. The claw, dude.

Anytime you see a kid with the claw, you fucking, just get out of the room. Yeah. Wait, let me see how that one go? The claw is where they used both of these fingers for the triggers. Yep. Oh, instead of just, uh, yes. Instead of holding your controller like a normal human, they like hold it like this. Yeah, and they claw, and they use their index fingers for the joystick.

Yes. And so they can get these ones. If you're using claw or keyboard, get the fuck out. Dude, I'm not playing with you. I'm a man. This kid was so nice at the game. Like, just incredible. Like, everyone's on the keyboards.

Yeah. It's like cheating. I don't know about that. I've never done it. I don't know about that life. I don't know about that life. Yeah. I love proud video game parents.

That rocks. Dude, like, that is so cool. Like, could you imagine, like, punishing your kid and being like, get inside and play video games. Like, cracking the whip on them? Like, what are you doing playing kick the can? You can't be a pro kick the can player? No.

Get your ass in there. Go to war. I want you to go do the rice buckets for 10 minutes. Yeah. Get your fingers. I want rice. Get the claw. Claw grip.

We need iron claw. The 90s fucking hand thing. You got to do that in between games. Drink a Mountain Dew. I need some gamer fuel, son? Isn't that cool? Oh my God. That rocks.

Yeah. I love that. All right, Jackie. Let's jump into the game. Should we talk about the Celtics real quick? Yeah. 51 and 31. This is the first year, the Emey Adoka era.

Oh, yeah. The short era. JV. What happened there? Yeah, what happened, Eme? Oh, boy. J.B's fifth year in the league. J.T.'s fourth. We kind of measured things around here by the Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, pre and post, all that. Notable assist. No, I do at least. Damon Stottemeyer was on this staff. Will Hardy, the current coach of the Jazz is on this staff. And of course, Joe Missoula, our man, friend of the show was also on this staff. Marcus Smart, DPO Y this year. He was locking everybody up. And then in the midseason, a trade that will change Celtics history forever. We got Derek White, baby. from the San Antonio Spurs.

Shout out Brad. Brad went out and got him. J.T. was balling out this year. Average in almost 27 a game. J.B. almost 24 a game. This was a heck of a Celtics team. Young guys first trip to the finals this year. So really coming together and jelling and making it work, baby.

Won the East beat the heat, got to the finals. What were your thoughts about these Celtics? Didn't like them. Not really. No. We have hard for now. so I'm learning to like him. I'm a Tatum guy.

I think Tatum's dope. I also like Jalen. He's cool. I mean, when you beat a team, because the Warriors win this series, like I don't hold resentment because like, so it's fine.

Yeah, this is cool. Fine with me. But it's like almost, I can, as a Bay Area person, when you're in the middle of a dynasty, somewhat. Yes. And you look over probably to the,

East Coast. We're the West Coast. Everyone kind of takes the West Coast like we're secondhand sports citizens and shit. I bet you there was some sort of like, oh, we're about to, yeah, everyone talks about this being the class of NBA. We're about to show them. Was there any of that kind of like, fuck, fuck the old time.

You know, was there any of that? Yeah, you know, like. Skittity scat. Well, like weirdly, like, you know, living in L.A., there, of course, is like a ton of Celtics resentment. I never really held that. Like, I kind of grew up, like, thinking Larry Bird was really dope. Yeah.

But I... We didn't know that, though. Yeah. Because we were so bad for so long. Oh, terrible. I remember walking around Sun Valley Mall. You could buy season tickets to Warriors game for $25. They were selling them out of binders.

Yeah. Like, they were begging people. They were begging people to go to games. I got my Spree World jersey at a Ross. Dude. For like eight bucks. Yeah. It was sick.

And it was like, I think it was a little fucked up. If it was at Ross. I think the lightning bolt was a little jacked up or something, but it was... Honestly, I might have to kick Clay off and put Spree well in my Mount Rushmore. Legit. Spree, baby. Yes.

Is that way from Davis? Barron Davis. Love BD. Would he dunked him? Oh, the dunk heard round the world. Oh, that was over, what, AK-47 or one of those dudes? Yes. All-timer.

That was the best Dunkin Warriors history. There was a, probably the second best Dunkin Warriors history was the series before this when Wiggins dunked on. I think it was Luca. Oh, it was a sick dunk, dude. That's when I was like, we're going to win the chip, dude.

Like, Wiggins is clicking. We got this, dude. Bro, how insane was he that whole playoffs? It was unbelievable. He was the second best player behind Steph. Like, and, you know, we were normally used to, like, Clay being the guy,

but Wiggins, like, stepped up so hard. It was insane, bro. Like, unstopable. Hold on it. We got to look at this. Have you done any crossover in Boston? Like, comedy stuff. Have you ever hung out in Boston?

I have spent, I've been to Boston like twice. I spoke out of college. I can't even remember what college it was, but it was like a while back. There's like Harvard. Harvard, MIT, maybe. Harvard?

Yeah, yeah. It's not in Boston. It's just outside of Boston. I spoke at Harvard, weirdly. Some little school or something. Yeah, they were asking me about appetizers. I was like, okay, sure. Yeah, no, and then I forgive why the other reason I was there.

I think we, oh, we went to Medford. Medford. Nice. We did the pod there. Yeah. And that was actually the first show. That's what we kicked off. It actually, we got COVID from there, like, immediately.

Oh, no. First show out. But it was a great show. It was a blast. Hey, Boston will give it to you. Dude, Boston's cool, man. I'm into it. What's up with your thoughts on Jalen Brown and Tatum?

You like Tatum. I do like Tatum. Yeah, I think they're cool. I think that I... They're not the Splash Bros, though, huh? No, I mean, yeah, they don't have, like, they don't, They don't have traction for me. They're kind of like plain Jane.

They need a hook. Yeah. Like, I know they're both ballers for sure, but they're, and I guess I like that. Like they're kind of unassuming, but there's some about them doesn't, they don't, they don't got the hook. Well, Jackie, why don't you break down the guys that do have the hook? Why don't we break down these warriors? Yeah. Now, come on.

Talk to Bob. I got to talk some Warriors ball, 53 and 29. This was a year, like, no matter who was on the roster or what? What the record was, the doubt was still everywhere, man. They hate like, oh, these guys are washed up. Steph can't do it anymore. Clay's been too injured. It was just like hate, hate, hate, hate, everywhere.

It was insane. Doubting him third year at the Chase Center started out so hot, 18 and 2. Steph, this was the year he broke the record for most three-pointers in NBA history, passed Ray Allen. Clay made his return. He's been out for two years. The Achilles and the ACL back to, I don't know how you come back from that. He's just a beast.

Jordan Poole, breakout season. Who? Everybody was a pool boy this year. 18.4 points per game coming out high. He was like... Wait, did... He left the team though, right? He did.

This was free. Is this one great, Draymond beat him up? Free, pre-smatch. The training camp after this. Yeah, we were running high and then Draymond punched pool and everything has been in shambled since. Kind of an AD, B, C sort of thing.

It really was a fork in the road for everybody. Man. We'll be right. back after this quick break. I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies.

We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F-1 career, a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this. I'm better. And plenty of other mishaped scandals and sagas

that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no grip on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A silver 40-caliber handgun was recovered at the scene. From I-Hart Podcasts and Best Case Studios. This is Worshack, murder at City Hall. How could this have happened in City Hall?

Somebody tell me that. July 2003, Councilman James E. Davis arrives at New York City Hall with a guest. Both men are carrying concealed weapons. And in less than 30 minutes, both of them will be dead. Everybody in the chambers ducked. A shocking public murder. I scream, get down, get down. Those are shots.

Those are shots. Get down. A charismatic politician. You know, he just bent the rules all the time. I still have a weapon, and I could shoot you. And an outsider with a secret. He alleged he was a victim of flatdown. That may or may not have been political.

That may have been about sex. Listen to Rorschach, murder at City Hall, on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast. My latest episode is with Noah Kahn, the singer-songwriter behind the multi-platinum hit Stick Season and one of the biggest voices in music today. Noah opens up about the pressure that followed his rapid success, his struggles with mental health and body image, and the fear of starting again after such a defining moment in his career.

It's easy to look at somebody and be like, your life must be so sick. Man, you have no clue. Talking about the mental illness stuff, it used to be this thing that I was ashamed of. I'm just now trying to unwind this idea that I have to be unhealthy physically or in pain in some emotional way. my life to create good music. If someone says that I did a good job, I'm like, yeah, I'm good. Someone says that I suck.

I'm like, I suck. Getting to talk about this is not common for me. Right now I need it more than ever. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What a wild moment. Absolutely. As a Warriors fan, like, how do you even process that? We could, like, we could have ran it back.

Dude. We could have got five. but Draymond Punch Jordan Poole at practice and then they leaked the footage The part of the game is that How do you leak the footage from practice? Who did that? I thought about that

Like where I was at If that was leaked someone would have been missing Yeah someone would have been killed Like you got what You guys get in TIFs on a team right? All day long right That should have never been exposed to the world That was bullshit

Because then you have to have to address it like because then like it's a distraction yeah and the internet be like why'd you let him hit you like you're a bitch all this and then like the you know it it's just it sits off a chain yeah i know it's like whatever happens behind closed doors between a team should only be known by that 100% i'm with you it's oh and i i i guarantee i mean draymond he gets a lot of backlash and all all this stuff but he's definitely the straw that stirs that drink absolutely keeping the ship going because you know you know step's not really when he talks everyone listens, but he's not talking all the time probably.

Clay, he's out, you know, doing Clay things. He doesn't seem like a talkative guy. You need to have one guy like Draymond. This was like crazy to me, that whole thing. That, it was the one time I was like, I can't back Draymond anymore. I was like, I kind of wanted him off the team after that.

You wanted him off the team? I kind of did. You thought pool was that good? It's just like, you, I love Draymond. You know, you could stick him on anybody. I like watching him like stop on Sabonis's chest and choke. Like, kill everybody. But don't hit the homie.

Maybe the homie need to get slapped. Football's also a little different too. Here's footage of Julian fighting someone on his team. That's Stefan Gilmore. His first A.M. Pass. What are you doing? He was holding. So I wanted to show him what he was doing to me.

Okay. Okay. So you're the Draymond. No. No, but you know, this kind of stuff happens at practice. We're professional athletes. We're competing. Well, that's what's weird, too, is like,

Dremon anytime outside of her. Dude, what are you doing? I ripped a dread out. Oh, man. I took one. I taped it to the back of my helmet. Dude. A day.

Shake them dreads. I like it. That's one of my boys now, but. Well, that's cool. Gilly. Football is different. Football is different. Football is different.

Yeah. I don't know. just like, and anytime Draymond's not on the court, he seems like the coolest normal cat, but like, I don't know. I also like that about him. When he gets on the court, he's an absolute monster. He has no control. Or he's, maybe he's controlling his chaos.

This is true too. Maybe one of the all-time, love him if he's on your team, hate him if he's not, guys. Absolutely, that guy. Absolutely. I'm all in on Money Green, but this year I was kind of, or the year after this, I was like, dude maybe we have to move on it's tough man especially you're the guy the aggressor you punched the guy on the face and then you get to stay and they ship the other guy out it's just wild I got a question for you how do you think clay feels being probably the second best shooter in the

history of the game playing with Steph do you think he because when you watch those two play the splash brothers for like eight nine years I mean it was all day not just Steph no play was out there, that quick-ass release. Dude. Man, that would have been crazy. The fact that they were both on the same team at the same time is absolute insanity. And most people are in agreement that Clay has a better like shot for him than Steph. Yeah.

Like he's like a true pure shooter. But also I think like as far as like what you're saying, like the egos on the team are so in check. Like everybody was just, it's just a really, really. special team. There's a reason they're a dynasty. Like, it's just like, I, I couldn't ask for more as a fan. Like, everybody's humble. Everybody, like, felt like they were for each other, you know? Nobody, Steph is not the guy who's like, I'm the goat. He never is that guy. He just lets his game talk for him. And I think everybody, like, follows in his greatness. So, I don't know.

Who's the Steph Curry of Comics? Ooh. The Steff Korea comics? I was going to say Jim Carrey, but I don't know. I don't know. I love Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey rocks. He just makes all his shots.

Well, then who's the Clay Thomas? Those comics. The Clay Thompson of comics? The quiet, unassuming will forte. Ooh. I like that. Who's the Draymond Green? Rodney Dangerfield.

Andrew does Clay. Hello. No respect. No respect. There are you. These guys? I have. I've hung out with Clay

like pretty notoriously. On the boat? No. At like when they won the second championship, I went to the bar with all the team and Clay got me in. That was so cool. How cool was that? Oh, dude.

The best. Just unreal. Unreal. Plays the man. Now, before I move into the game, I'm going to give you one more, one more chance to state your case,

why Steph Curry is to go. I think that of this time when there's so much stuff you can be distracted with and you can be so much of like a persona and care about so many other things besides the game, I think Steph keeps like such a crazy good head on his shoulders and he doesn't, he makes his teammates better. He just makes his teammates better.

And that's what makes the greatest player of all time is you not only are you the best, but you make everybody better. And that's what he does. 1,000. That's awesome case. and he's revolutionized a game. Now there's 73-pointers a game.

It's crazy. Literally. Literally. He's insane. And he's the most fun player to watch. And he's humble, great dad. Like, he's just a lovable dude. He's the man. He's so electric. Love Stephertless. Steffertless.

Well, I think, I think Kenny the Jet might have coined that. Oh, shout out. I don't know how I've heard that. I love that. I love the jet. Should we get a little lead-up of this game? Lead up. All right. So coming in, the Celtics were the two-seat in the east. Warriors were the three seed.

Warriors got through Dallas and five, Memphis and six. Celtics, on the other hand, seven game series back to back. Be Milwaukee beat Miami. So I had to go through some wars of attrition to get there. But in this series, we're talking about game four today. Celtics take game one, warriors take game two, Celtics win game three.

So it's up two to one. This is a pretty pivotal game coming up here. I remember three to one in a seven game series. Yep. I remember them all. I remember them all because the first ones, I was watching publicly, and then after they lost game three, that's when I'm like, I got to start watching these at home alone.

That's a big question. We love breaking out. You tell a lot about somebody how they watch games or choose to watch games. Yeah, game one, I watched with homies at my friend's house, and the Warriors were like, were winning that game. And then somehow the Celtics won, and it was like, what the hell? What the hell just happened? Game two, you were expected to win.

And then game three, I watched at Burger, she wrote, Great Smash Burger. I watched it publicly. I told the homies, come on, let's go. Because I was like, I think we're going to win this game. And we didn't. And then I was like, I don't think I can be around people anymore. I have to really focus up. Did you go over to, you know what you should have done when you're at Burger She wrote?

At halftime, when it was going down, you should have went right next door to Eskwella and got you a little bean and cheese burrito. Look at my man go. Look at my man go. They have really good bean cheese burrito. They also have really good meatchalata. Mutiladas. They also have good little hard shell tacos or fire.

Boy, do I know. It's fucking $35 for a burrito. I mean, Jesus Christ. What are we doing? What are we doing? What are the, dare I say? God, they're so fire, though. They're really good.

It's a great one-to punch. It really is. It is. Now, there was a lot of shit being talked between the Celtics fan and Draymond Green. Yep, he became the villain there. Where do you draw the line in

with the trash talk? The sand. Where do you draw the line? I say it's all it's all all play Go play yeah all play go for it There's there's full like the full arena Malice in the powers we're ready I love that I love that shit

I think we do need a little less buddy buddy We need a little bit more grit like that I'm not saying full riots but like I need a little something more in there Too much buddy buddy nowadays Look I think sports are so important For people to like get out all of that stuff But it has to stay in the game

It can't come out outside of it. of the game. Right. So when Blake's sitting court side at the Warriors because you're friends with Clay. Right. Are you heckling? No, no, I'm respectful. I'm not like a...

No, I'm more uplifting to my team. I'm not really a like tear the other team down. It's a good fan. I'm with you. Yeah. Thanks a lot of balls to like be courtside and be talking smack. Dude. Or not really maybe.

Yeah. It's a bad move. No matter what. I'm always mad at refs. Even if I'm sitting court, I'm saying, what the, we get our eyes checked over here.

Come on blue. I'm calling him blue. Well, if it's egregious, yeah, you got a, you look like a principal over there. What the hell? That was a ball.

The cops. Arguing balls and strikes it up. That's like. All right, let's get into this game here. You filmed the hype video for this? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Chase? Yes, yes. Which I was like kind of nervous for because, you know, when you, like, put yourself out as, like, the face of a squad, and if they lose, people start to call you, like, a jinx and stuff. But I was like, I just, I went. I was like, sure. What do you say?

I think I was just gassing up, like, Steph Curry and stuff. I don't know. Did you give, like, let's go. Yeah, I was like, everyone does that at the end. Warriors, warriors. I'm sure. I'm sure it was stupid. It obviously worked.

It worked. It did. It did. It did, man. And trust me, I'm so glad because my cousin would be like the first one to be like, stop. You're making all our teams lose. He's still pretty on me about the 49ers.

What'd you do with the Niners? Well, it's just I go to, I went to the damn Super Bowl in Vegas and they lost. And my cousin's pretty convinced is because of me. Isn't your uncle the guy who also sold him the property of where their practice facility is near the power plant? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Oh my God, bro. So that's why they're getting hurt. Yeah, we're melted.

Uncle built the thing over there? We're melting bones. From the inside. The ligaments, bro. From the inside, so dry from the power plant. They're tearing them left and right. Our bad. Sorry.

We got to make a living. I'm sorry. Jack it in the game. Oh, man. Let's get into this thing. From the get-go, it was out to a hot start. The Celtics got out to a hot shooting start.

Celtics were hot. Got up 11 to 4. Kind of kept this. The whole first half was kind of this. Celtics go up 5 or 6. Warriors cut it. Warriors go up 2 or 3. Celtics cut it, go back up five or six.

But the turnovers kept coming back to bite the Celtics. 16 in this game. Those kind of always open the door for a Warriors run. But Curry and Tatum doing a little dual action in the first. Both had 12 points. Grant Williams ends the first quarter on a buzzer beater to go up 28, 27. Derek White comes in in the second half. It gets some good spark going for the seas.

That was still when Derek was in his six-man roll. Gets a good spark with him in, but the Celtics end up maintaining that lead. 549 at the half. So Derek White actually, he used to have beautiful long hair. Yeah. Then he cut it after the series. Well, he always had kind of an odd hair line though, right? I mean, it was creeping.

Yeah. We don't talk about that, but it was beautiful long hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is something dramatic that had to happen to you for you to cut your hair? Ooh. Losing like an Academy Award. Yeah, I think it would be like if they like, I know I said Joker, but if they asked me to be like Mr. Freeze, I think I would shape my head for that.

Because come on, man. from Arnold to me Hell yes I mean that would have been sick I'm in I'll shave my head for that Full shave How long have you had the long hair

Ever? Ever I used to have a fro In high school But like I would cut it down When I would visit my dad Because he was like Kind of like

Wanted me to be presentable Yeah But then once I got to college I'm like I'm not cutting it anymore And I've kind of had it Long ever since Was that the day That your dad knew you were a

man. That's right. You stood up to me, son. You grew your hair like a girl. Now you're a man. I love you, son. Damn right. That's how I showed it. So a half time at this game, how are you feeling when you're alone in your apartment

because we're not with any of our friends? My apartment, the apartment I go to to watch. Not my home with my family. Daddy's going to his sports apartment. to yell at walls. Oh, that would be amazing. Where's dad? Dad's at his apartment.

Can we get one of those two? Yeah, we should. We should have a sports apartment. There's just holes in the wall. Yeah, you could, yeah, drywall just just one folding chair in the TV. That's the punching wall. You got four TVs to break one.

Breakaway TVs. Bring in the next one. Costco. Costco card on me. I will, I rewatch this game last night. And Curry was coming back from, like, an injury because Horford, like, landed on his foot. Yeah, left foot injury, game three.

Yeah. Yeah. And everybody was kind of waiting to see, like, you could feel Boston, like, holding its breath. Like, they're like, is Curry going to be Curry? And he was like, he came out kind of slow, but he was showing little glimmers. And, like, as a Golden State fan, like, you know, once Curry flips that switch, like, it's an avalanche after that. So it's kind of feeling good. Like you felt like Curry had had the look in his eye

because he also gets super hype. Like he was like yelling at one point in the first quarter. And you're like, whoa, if Curry's already there mentally, I feel like the Celtics are in trouble. Like he was hyped. When Curry gets in that mode, you're like, oh, he's not going to let his team lose. So you thought in the first quarter you had it in the bag by then? Yeah.

Because Curry was already in like go mode. and I'm like, he will find it. He will find it. He was fully like going at the garden crowd, like letting him know like, this is our house kind of, oh shit, oh, God. Like first quarter.

Yeah, like first quarter of three, made time out of, never been to the garden, have you? Never been to the garden, have you? Never been to the garden, I would love to. I would love to. I've been to a Knicks game.

I mean, Madison Square is awesome too. Yeah, it was really rad. Yeah, I mean, that's, you're in the mecca. That's a fun environment. Yeah, I love it. The garden. Yeah, it's like kind of, of dark in there.

You're like, are you not paying here? Not anymore. It's not the old garden. Yeah, it's like maybe they didn't pay their electricity there or something. There's so many renovations

going on, the power. It is weird the ring is now that do that where he shut like all the lights off. Well, at the Lakers show, it's only on the court. Everything else is dark.

M.S. G's doing a little bit of theater. Yeah. There was just a hockey game where they turned the lights off during the play because they thought their goal happened and they were supposed to turn in all red

and stuff. It was like during like it was a college hockey game. A pivotal moment too. Yeah, yeah. And then it like ended up going into like overtime and they lost because of that. Which kind of gives me. Is it rigged?

No, it just makes me think of the New Orleans, San Francisco game. Yes. The momentum. Yeah, that was. The momentum. Bro.

We've had so many shots. We've had so many shots at winning the Super Bowl. You were at that was a really have. Really have, man. What's up with these Niners? I don't know. It's really trying my patience. And I really like this group of guys.

I want Kittle to get a ring so bad. Are they close? They are. I think they got a shot this year. I do. I'm feeling this season. Trent Williams, they might be getting cut for that $39 million cap space they need. I know. We just got to believe in Brock. We'll believe in Brock. Mike Evans is fun.

Yeah, that's cool, right? Mike Evans is great. But I just don't want to see his hamstring near that power plant. This guy's got chronic hamstring. It's not the bones. It's the tendons, bro. It's the tendons. You can have all my tendons. Well, it's pause.

Would you give him your tendon for a Super Bowl? Real fan. Absolutely. What's the, what I would just have to, I couldn't run anymore. What? I don't know. I'm not a doctor. The sweet father.

Sweet dad. Oh man. Coming out of the half here, same story as game one through three. The Warriors own the third quarter. That was what got the Celtics in this thing. We always. The third was our quarter. Steph pours in 14.

Notorious. Unbelievable. I don't know what Steve Kerr was doing to those boys in the locker room, but... Dude, also, Steve Kerr got, like, angry. He got a tech in this game. And I think Steve Kerr might be the scariest angry person. Like, when he gets mad, it's like seeing like a Mormon person get mad. Like, he's not supposed to be mad.

Right, because he's so even keel. Yeah. Always. He just gets red hot, dude. Remember when he, like, smacked the, clipboard and shattered it. It freaks me out. Yeah, I think he has a lot of pent-up anger. I could see that. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You bury it down and it's going to come out at some point. Yeah. I love Steve Kerr. I do too. What a great guy. He seems like a really great guy. I don't know. I was thinking I got a few Mormon friends. Have I ever seen him get mad? Mormons don't. They're really sweet human. They tend to be really nice. They're really nice. And they all have really good like basketball courts at their churches. It's great. Mormons love hoop, man. Mormons can ball. They usually have big calves, too. Good rebounders. You ain't never seen a racehorse with Cavs.

Right. That means he can't ruin fast. Exactly. You can hop, though. That's what Dio's. Jimmer's got that shot, baby. Dio, where's your Kaz? You ain't never seen a racehorse with calves.

True. Dion. Love Dio. Blake, you're another guy. I feel like that's pretty even killed. It never gets pissed like that. What is, is there anything that gets you,

Steve Kerr-level, break a clipboard mad? What makes you mad, Blake? It, like, honestly, the time when you see me most passionate, is when I watch sports. Hell yeah. Yeah.

Like basketball, like this run, like I'm, it's kind of bittersweet that the Warriors are like the Dynasty is dying out. But like I used to like be at such a high clip watching Warriors games.

It was like unhealthy. 86 of them? Oh, dude. Every single one of them. Just yelling at my TV. Like getting psyched. Like those, some of those rocket series,

it was just like, oh my God. It would be like that flip. into my pool every time they like because I get superstitious too and James Hardin would be foul baiting and you're just like yeah it's like Steph Curry only makes threes when I jump in the pool so I just be canning balling in the pool every time he shoots the ball. That's real sports fandom behavior right there. What's your favorite moment from this game? I mean I think okay look I even wrote it down on the 37th point it came off of a Steph Curry rebound put back and

And I was like, that shit is so cool to me, dude. He was just getting like hustle plays out there. That's when I'm like, 10 boards in this game. Steph was getting on the glass. Unbelievable. Yeah. And he had a hurt foot too. That was that Jedi mind shirt shit.

They were also, Steve and them were kind of playing in the media. Like, we don't know how he, weren't they? Yeah. Steve Kerr. Yeah, for sure. And this was also before the game, a little tweak. Didn't mention this off the rip. I'm Luke Wilson.

Lewis Hamilton, Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. Wouldn't you know it? Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. The story of the sports most consequential driver strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career, a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both?

He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this. and plenty of other mishaped scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, gumster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A silver 40-caliber handgun was recovered at the scene.

From IHeart Podcasts and Best Case Studios, this is Rorschach, murder at City Hall. How could this have happened in City Hall? Somebody tell me that. Jeffrey Hood did it. July 2003, Councilman James E. Davis arrives at New York City Hall with a guest. Both men are carrying concealed weapons.

And in less than 30 minutes, both of them will be dead. Everybody in the chamber is ducked. A shocking public murder. I scream, get down, get down. Those are shots. Those are shots. Get down. A charismatic politician.

You know, he just bent the rules all the time. I still have a weapon. and I could shoot you. And an outsider with a secret. He alleged he was a victim of flatdown. That may or may not have been political. It may have been about sex. Listen to Rorschach, murder at City Hall,

on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast. My latest episode is with Noah Kahn, the singer-songwriter behind the multi-platinum global hit Stick Season, and one of the biggest voices in music today. Noah opens up about the pressure that followed his rapid success, his struggles with mental health and body image,

and the fear of starting again after such a defining moment in his career. It's easy to look at somebody and be like, your life must be so sick. Man, you have no clue. Talking about the mental illness stuff, it used to be this thing that I was ashamed of. I'm just now trying to unwind this idea that I have to be unhealthy physically or in pain in some emotional way in my life to create.

good music. If someone says that I did a good job, I'm like, yeah, I'm good. Someone says that I suck. I'm like, I suck. Getting to talk about this is not common for me. Right now, I need it more than ever. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Otto Porter Jr. started this game. We'll be right back after this quick break. Otto was the, so pivotal. Like a lot of like the role. players on the Warriors don't get enough credit, but Otto was huge. I mean, this was the case in point, like Gary Payton

the second, Otto Porter, Andrew Wiggins. They were the guys that were like, as a Celtics fan, I'm watching this. I'm like, who are we letting these guys beat us? Kavana. Looney, bro. Huge in the fourth. Dremont didn't play that much in the fourth in this one. Kavan got in there and gave some serious minutes. Drayman was cold to this one for seven, but

Looney came in and gave huge minutes. It was unbelievable. In the fourth, their third quarter, I got to say, plus 49 in these first four games. Warriors just owned that quarter. Jesus. That was the story of it, man. It was always the third, man.

Always the third. Steph put in 14 in the third, another 10 in the fourth, put him up six with one 10 left, another Steph, dagger three, held the Celtic scoreless for the last five and a half minutes outside of that Al Horford three

that cut it to three with under a minute left, but that wasn't enough. Kvon Loney layup, icees it pretty much. Final score 107. 97. 107.97.

Not up the series. Dude. 2.2. Steph finishes with 43, 10, and 4. They didn't lose again. They did not lose again after this. It was such an important series for this team and for Steph Curry to win because there was all the chatter about like the KD stuff and all that. And just like this was the most fulfilling series win.

Absolutely. Like it just felt good. It just felt really good for Steph. to have this moment. And remember the most sinister when he was like, that's like you just go down in history. Yeah. You know, this is,

like I said earlier, I became a Boston fan when I moved out there. And that was, when I moved, the Warriors were trash. I was in college and that's when BD dunked on the dude and I loved him with BD. Yeah. And then they got good and they got KD and you know, I was always a KD fan. But

then it was almost like unfair to to root for them. Everyone would be like, oh, you're a Warriors fan. So then, you know, I gravitated towards Boston. But this championship, this last one, like you just said, it made me feel like, oh, they weren't supposed to do it. And then I gravitated like, man, that was really cool to see Steph get this. Yeah. Clay get this off his injury. There was a lot of shit that had to happen for them to get this win. Yeah, man. It was like, because you're right. Like in the beginning, the Warriors, like their first championship, it was kind of, of like the people were behind the warriors.

And then they became like sort of this evil empire. And then with like KD, they were just inevitable. They were too good. They flew too close to the sun. But then like this one, yeah, felt like people kind of started to come back like on the ship and be like good for Steph. Like he just had to shut so many people up.

And it was he just had to do it. It was perfect. How did you celebrate at the sports department? Blooming onions everywhere, dude. Just on deck. Apps on deck. Just throwing blooming onions off the balcony. I actually went to the parade for this.

That's right. Oh my God. You're on the coverage too. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. Where do they have the parade? It was just right in the heart of San Francisco, dude.

It was so cool, dude. Yeah. Like, it's just really, like being in the Bay Area and like just when everybody's there in a good mood, like even all the homeless people are like having a great time. You're like, dude, this is what it's about. Yeah. It was just like a huge party and everybody's psyched about the same thing. It was just like, it was just really beautiful.

And like just as somebody from the Bay Area, you know, like it just, it's just such a awesome city. And when everything's like, when everybody's winning, it feels good. Were you at the Super Bowl that saw for the Super Bowl in San Frang? I was. I was. I didn't go to the game, but I was around. Yeah, I wasn't. There was same kind of feeling.

Yeah, the city was beautiful, man. It was bumping, it was kind of clean. Oh, I went on Bart to go see my mom in Concord. It was a brand new train. It was beautiful. I was like, how could people talk shit on this city? It's so, so cool. At the end, though, it started creeping back.

I saw it creeping back at the end. Immediately, it was like, right? It was like, oh boy. Oh, boy. Saw a couple of drones, the city drones that are chasing everyone now. Yeah, dude. Yeah, don't get me wrong. It gets normal.

out there. But for that week, it was beautiful. Man, you forget, man. The city is really cool. The food is great. Yeah. Just the look of the city is beautiful. Like, you see it from different areas. San Francisco and the Bay. Really, really special place. Very good. Shout out, man. Yes. But putting a bow on this bad boy, Golden State would win games five and six to win their fourth title in

eight years. Steph got his first finals MVP. And then, as we mentioned earlier, you had the pool, Draymond drama carrying into the next season. GP2 left in free agency, which is a bummer. And then mid-year next season, Joe Missoulu would take over a Celtics head coach. The next year in 2024, the Celtics would win Banner 18 under Joe and get back. Another ring in the garden, baby. Another ring in the garden.

Hang another banner. Would you take a punch from J-Mond for another title? Hell yeah. Yeah, just making it sure. I thought so. Just locate my jaw, man. Let's go. Let's go.

Take my ligaments, whatever you need. Let's name the game Score the game Is this the greatest game of all time? Let's score it. Decimals are encouraged. These are some names that we came up with. If you have a specific name

that you have in your head already, we'll use that, but we came up with the Steph Curry game. The Curry Classic. The series shifter. The pretty ship. The petty ship. Or the petty ship.

And the silencer or something else that you have. I got it. The chef's kiss. Oh. Jeff Curry with the sauce. Yes. I love that. It's a great name.

That's a great. Thank you. That is all time. Thank you. Stakes. Did you just come up with that or did you, were you thinking about it? I just came up with that. Wow.

Thank you. He's very impressive. He's got his comic writers, man. They're fucking. I'm going to need to up my score. Improv guy. He's got the shit. Improff.

De La Salle, sorry about it. Let's go. Dela. No. Yeah. You won every football game, but you didn't win the improv game. You remember when they lost to Bellevue, Washington? What the hell?

When did that happen? That was like their first loss in like 20 years. I remember that. Oh, man. My school, Clayton Valley, our team was so bad. Now they're like a charter school and we're hell of good. Yeah, we're paying kids now. That's so cool.

I know. I should have played football. I know, me too. I should have been born 10 years later. Stakes, zero to 10 decimals encouraged. 10 being great. Zero one being nothing. 10 is the highest stakes?

The highest. I would say this was a 8.2. That's an integrity score. You got more games, not game seven. Still a finals game, though. Yeah, but this was, yeah, we needed it. You needed this. I'm going to go with the 8.1.

Okay, okay. I like that. I was going with 8.0. Look at 8.0. Look at us. The star power of this game, zero to 10 decimals encouraged. I mean, I giggled when I saw Bialica come out.

I forgot that guy existed. He's dropping the score for me a little bit. So I'm going to say the star power is at a seven. Seven. And that's on Bialitza. Oh, got anyone on the wood in here? 21 Savage and Little Dirk were on the wood.

If that, if that, we count celebrity fans. I'm going to drop mine as six. 21, 21. Oh my gosh. I mean, you got some all time greats playing in this game.

You know, you got Steph, play, Wiggy, Tatum and Brown. Those are big name guys that are still playing at a high level. I'll go with the 8.1.

I like that score. Okay. You think Gary Payton's dad was in this game, too? Was the glove there? I don't know. He was there. And he's from the bay. The glove is there.

This is in Boston. This is in Boston. Yeah. Never mind. Never mind. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Front row 40 is not there.

GP, the glove is not there. And 8.9. 21 was doing a lot of heavy lifting for me. I also had 8.9. Steph Curry. Come on. Let's go. What happened to the streets?

The gameplay of this game. Like how it was visually going back and forth. there's 10 point lead by the Warriors. There's a six point lead by the Celtics at the end. Dev dropping 43. 43 on a broken foot. Steph was out of 10 for me, but overall gameplay,

I'm also going to give it 8.5. Celtics missed a lot of shots. Turn the ball over 16 times, sloppy basketball. But they both had 16 turnovers. The Warriors always have so many turnovers. That was always the Achilles heel. so that that that's okay.

But they make so many threes. I'm going to go with a 8.5 as well. Shout out Ocho Cinco. At a 7.8. At 7.5. It was a homer score. The name, the chef's kiss. I'm going to have to up my name score.

I know that much. Zero to 10. 10 being amazing. Also, it's the cultural relevance of this game. It's not just like, it's like how much you think about it, how much it means to sports history. Hmm. Okay.

I'll give it a nine because I don't think it was the most important game in Warriors history, but it was very important. I think it's 8.6. I'm staying right up there. Okay. All right, I'm an 8.0. I'll keep it there for now, I guess, but what did you say? The Steph Curry game, everyone's like, oh, man. That's 6.1. It is an 8.02. What's it on the list?

This is going to be our new 58th game. It's just ahead. the 2012 ASC Championship Ravens versus Patriots and Jeff behind Super Bowl 53 Patriots versus Rams. And just below the Broncos versus the Niners. Great Super Bowl. Super Bowl 24. Great Super Bowl.

Wow. Dude, look at your guys list. This is insane. We've done some good games with a lot of awesome people. Whoa. How many keep going to the second age? Yeah, we've done 132 games. Whoa.

Hell yeah. Wow. You guys even do some UFC fights? Yeah. We did Laird Hamilton did the Millennium Wave. Yeah. He was out there in Tia. Wait,

which one is suck at San Fran? 49ers versus Rams. Who was that? Oh, that was Cooper. When they beat the Rams on the way or the 49ers on the way to their Super Bowl. They needed. Oh, I was at that game.

Wait. How do you think about the score? Did we do, okay? Yeah, that game was pretty good, though. But yeah, forget that game. I hate that game. If you want to get back at Cooper Cup, you can go buy a Starbucks. He's got a coffee brand.

Oh, yeah. All right. Super Bowl. Two-time Super Bowl. Two-time Super Bowl. Champion. Still too soon. I still too soon.

I can't argue. Cups a maniac, dude. He's good. He's good. Blake, we miss anything from this game? No, you know, I think we, I'm glad we touched on the anger of Steve Kerr. Yeah, dude, I think we did pretty good on summing it all up.

I'm glad we gave Wiggins some love and Looney. What a time to be alive. I'm just so happy that I got to rewatch that. Like I said, I don't do a lot of rewatching of sports because I still feel like the Warriors have a little gas in the tank. But going back and really observing that team, they are such a special team, dude. And it was fun to watch.

I was stressed all over again. I punched a hole in my home. No. Sports apartment. I should have took it to the apartment, man. But you went at home? Yeah. That's real anger.

Dude, on a sports classic, I knew we win at the end. And I still was like, Clay! Last question before we let you go. Everyone go check out this is important, unbelievable podcast. Thank you. Very fun.

A lot of important things. Whatever's important. That's what they're talking about. Absolutely. But the last question that we ask all our guests, what do Bay Area sports mean to you? That's my Tom Rinaldi. Getting serious.

Moment of levity. You know, it's just, it's, it's, it's my identity. It's how I identify as a Bay Area person. I think that sports are just so intertwined with the pride of the Bay Area and the pride of who I am as a person, as a Bay Destrian. It's just, it's just, it's, it's our culture. It's who we are.

So like, when we talk about like teams leaving Oakland, it really is like ripping our guts out. But I'm very proud to be from the Bay Area and I'm proud of all of our sports teams. Hell yes. And just for clarity, we don't ask everyone in Bay Area Sports. We like something specific to them.

Like, what does football mean to you? Tom Rinaldi. That was a great time. That was a great time. Shout out Rinaldi. I appreciate that. I like, you know, Blake. Blake cleared something up for us. Baydestrian.

Baydestrian. We got some flack the other week. Bayerian. No, it's 100% Baydestrium. Baydestrian doesn't sound great. You can ask Mr. Fab. Okay. Blake, thanks for coming on, bro.

Dude, what a pleasure. Thank you. Man, what a fun game to go over, man. It was, I forgot this game before we did it. And then I watched it. I was like, oh, yeah. I remember I forgot. As a Celtics fan, it broke my heart to relive this.

Because the self has done this game. I know, I know. The Celts had this game. I know. We had the freaking series. And this was the turning point of that. It was. And this is potentially one of the reasons why Marcus Smart didn't, wasn't on the team the next year.

I know, man. Breaks my heart. Because Marcus Smart was a dog, man. I know. He was so high when he was high. But he had his, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah. But he was a fun player to to root for.

He was hitting some big shots in this one, some runout dunks. It was. He was on, man. But damn, that third quarter. A Bay Destrian Blake. That's what I'm going to call Bay Destrian Blake. You got to get the Bay Area group check on. Yeah, I know, but I'm not like, I love my Bay Area teams, but not like I used to.

I feel you. You know? Because not you're Boston guy. Well, I genuinely, I genuinely have relationships with people in all of the. those organizations. Oh, totally. And I have not one, I mean, a couple with the Giants maybe, Niners, a cup maybe, but not like the root, like I've done charity events with the

Celtics and charity events with the Red Sox. You know, so like it's, I know. And I know some of those guys that are working and you want to see that, I don't know, it's tough, but probably can't start the Bay Area chat, but I could jump into it. Yeah. You still got Bay Area. I wouldn't start it. I could jump into it.

You still have Bay Area Code? No, I got a 6-1-7. You were 6-1-7. I thought so. Sorry, not to dox. You got a 6-1-7. Yeah. But thanks again to Blake Anderson. What a guy.

I would love to hang out with him. Me too. I'd like get him back on here. Let's do the sports apartment. Let's just watch him over. Yeah. We need a sports apartment. You think he got bad that I said apartment?

No, I think he was hilarious. Everyone was like, I thought he said. You know why you said apartment? Because I tracked with you. It's because we feel like this game was farther back than it was. So, well, so often we're, talking with celebrities. We're talking with games that are way younger, right? So you were

thinking, you were thinking him in community college, walking the next game way back when, but this was three years ago. Yeah. Yeah. But hey, it made it for a great fucking bit. That'll be the third NutHouse show. Yeah, sports apartment. We'll do the sports apartment. Yeah, Ed, make that a scripted show. I don't care. Scripted series, scripted movie? It's hard to make scripted. We can make audio

or maybe it's just a show. You're right, sports department. We just bring up a camera. You're like the Dave and Benny Blancke have show. I'm a little sad. that I didn't know Bay Destrian. Yeah, I didn't know it either. See, that's when you know. It's a bunch of Bayerians.

It's a bunch of Bayerians. We didn't know Bay Destrian. That's a, that's so bay. It is. When you say, he rolled right off the tongue for it. He has said that. Ugh. Bro.

God, I can't stop thinking that sports apartment now. It's like the, it's like the main version of a Pietitare. Like for like, you know what I mean? Like an author or whatever, like a Piatere. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Nah, we just go and watch the ball. Man.

That was fun. We got to do it. Can we please do it? What? Sports department. I mean, we'll look into the budget, Bob.

I mean, there's a housing. I know, I know. Housing prices right now. I got you. We're all except. We kind of did it, Jack,

when you were in the Airbnb when you were out here. This is true. This is true. Sports apartment. It didn't. No wools in the wall, though. Got to be able to make holes.

You got to be able to put holes. Yeah. You can just like rig up some drywall. Yeah. I'm just knocking through. It's like it's a karate. A sports apartment is basically a rich man's garage. Yes.

Goals. All men or the man cave. Right. It's a detached man cave couch or man cave garage with your own means. That's a rich man thing. But there's something about a man cave which is like polished and nice. I feel like you need it like gritty and dirty and like a fridge that runs like You know, the toilets running.

It needs to be like the unfinished basement at Danny and Mendoza's house that we used to spit, chew in and play ping pong all night. Cement, dust, shit everywhere. Yep.

Spitting on the walls. Minimal, minimal. Punching things. Weird items in the refrigerator. It needs to be nun chucks, a boxing bag, along with the speed bag, and maybe a slip and slide in a patch of turf. Can we get a weight bench in there? No. Maybe we'll see.

Squat rack. Oh, sorry. Yeah, you said that's right. Rusty. Yeah. Rusty is like half a jar like Mount Olive Pickles. Yeah. A couple of stray beers. Oh, you got sick fridge. Oh, you got sick fridge. I love good fridge. For sure. And you have refreshment fridge that has glass opening because we have glass open. But when it comes to food and drink, everything has to be. We do take that serious side of the sports department. Yeah. Our sports department's even fancier than I imagined. Yeah. No, it's not, it's just the lodging for the food and drink is...

Okay, we take that seriously, but that's... Yeah, actually, we'll get a Yeti. Oh! Maybe we can get a brand deal or something. Huh? Maybe we can get a little brand deal in there somehow. We were this close to getting a Trader Joe's brand deal. We were really close. We were talking about the hash browns and the frozen food. Yeah.

Got out T.J's. Well, he brought up Trader Joe. Yeah, but then he shit on it, so then there goes that deal. Oh, I didn't say. We'll edit that out. We'll cut that out. What did he shit on there. I forget what he said. He said something. He did say Jules was a...

Oh, because they find glass and something. their products. Oh. Yeah, but that happens in every product in the store. You know what you're getting into? You're a little glass.

You've never even a little glass. Hey, man, I'm just exfoliating my gums. Come on now. Yeah. Relax. We'll be right back after this quick break. I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies.

radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Freaking, uh, oh, wait, there was one more thing on the projo. Uh, sports apartment. The cruise sounds insane. The cruise sounded unbelievable. But you gotta hang out with your fans for like three straight days. I mean, and maybe get the neural cars. The Gras had a cruise.

He did the Gron Cruise. That's true. Dude, what would it take for you to go on a cruise, Jules? I don't know. I've been kind of watching these cruise commercials and they look kind of sick. I do, but like, probably amazing for like a big ass family. I guess.

You know what I mean? Like, because look, we're not yacht people. No, I'd like to be. But the boat thing would be awesome because you know that the kids are gonna, like Lily would love to go on a boat with her cousins and maybe a friend where they have a fucking water slide

and you know what I mean? Stupid shit like that. Like kids love that kind of stuff. I wouldn't say like Cruz if I'm taking out like a babe. Heck no. But like family stuff? Yeah. the cruise is almost, I've thought about the cruise as of last three months. Really?

Not like to go on them, but like, I've thought like, man, I think they would enjoy it. You don't have to think about logistics. And it's pretty practical in pricing. I'm not saying it's cheap. Yeah. Not saying, but like in comparison to like having boat, fun. Yeah. It's all in one.

That's like kind of, it's reasonable, I think. There's a ton of people and you don't have to think about logistics for a cruise. That's the only thing COVID's fucked it up for me. Yeah. And dude, remember they get those people who got the neurovirus? on there they were pooping in buckets. And that carmel and ever since that. I was like,

oh, come out. And then I've saw some of these. From the hit documentary, The Poop Cruise. Oh, that was a crew. They all they made a talk about that?

Yeah. Oh, I think it's called the poop cruise. And then they also had the, um, that sounds kind of fun. There's been some videos of the cruise that I've got, had some of the hard waters.

Yeah, bro. Like, I don't know. It's sketchy, bro. Anytime. I feel like the train wreck. I got friends that have,

like the parents going a lot of, and people love cruises. I know, but it's like, it's almost like a, you're either a cruise person or you're not. It's like one or the other. It's in the same vein as like Disney World. We're like people though.

I feel that. But the cruise is kind of tight. I don't know. Do you think it's an American that you got to go once in your life? Like you got to try it once or are you fine with not trying it ever? I don't know. Probably got to try it. Yeah.

I don't know. I'll get claustrophobic though. I don't like. I don't either. And you got to get some of those, I've seen some of those cabins they put you in there like in the whole of like, you're deep down there. No windows, nothing.

No, bro. We're freaking rose. Yeah. We're gonna be where Rose was if we're going on a cruise. We're in a Jackie. We're going with Rose. And the Titanic people up top if we're going on a cruise. Shut up.

We'll spend another G. Whatever it takes. I got to see some water. Do you know the Titanic would have been fine if they just hit the iceberg head on? Really? The fact that they tried to move and it scraped all along. No way. They would have.

Because the Titanic had a special technology that had these like lock systems underneath that it would have been able to contain the water if it hit it head on. But then because it scraped all the way through. It would have stopped it. It wouldn't have been great, but it wouldn't have sunk. That mass, it would be like, yeah, but they could have contained it. It was the fact that they got skimmed and it sliced the whole edge.

It could be four of the compartments. Yeah. And it hit five. Yeah. If they didn't turn, they would have been better off. I don't know because I think that would have been just like straight. Like it doesn't stop.

and it keeps crushing. Like you can't. That's just straight physics. Yeah. I'm picturing like those crash test dummy type vibes. Yeah. Like you'd rather get punched in the gut or like stabbed all the way through your gut? Ooh.

Probably neither. Whichever would make a good movie with Leo? There's a lot of conspiracies about that Titanic. Are there really? I didn't know that. Tell me two of them. Well, there's like some important people that were on there. that went down.

Oh, shoot. That, like, for, like, some diplomatic shit. Okay.

How did you know about that? And I love, I love Titanic history. There's a... That's, like, the main reason I like James Cameron because he does so much Titanic stuff.

He likes spirit. Did you know, did you know that this is... He's invested billions of dollars into, like, these submersibles that go in... Out of, out of Woods Hall.

Yeah. Belmouth. Did you know that the... They actually make a great movie. the discovering of the Titanic was actually like government secrecy. So Robert Ballard always wanted to go find the Titanic, right, do a whole expedition, but he couldn't get the findings for it, the money for it. But there was a nuclear sub that sank, an American nuclear sub that sank in that area,

so that the government paid him to go find the sub. And they said, if you find this sub with proprietary technology before the Russians get it or whatever, will also fund your expedition to get the Titanic. So he found the sub first that never was news, and then he found the Titanic afterwards. Well, a piece of it, because they didn't find both sides for a long time. Yeah, well, the whole thing in the early 90s when they, like, found it or whatever. Was it early 90s? I think so.

They even late 80s. I thought it was, yeah. Because when did Titanic come out, like mid-90s, early 90s, the movie? Oh, they found it 85. Oh, wow, that long ago. Yeah. Holy smokes. Would you rather spend a week?

on a carnival cruise in the cheapest room. Your solo, by the way, cheapest room inside the hole, like no windows, nothing, or a one-day charter in one of those sketchy submarines where the guys can throw in it

with like a game, PlayStation thing. And just implode? It might. It's kind of sketchy, but you're only down there for like a day, like part of a day.

I'm going to the cruise for a thousand. But you've got to stay in a whole week, bro. Some people... You might get neurovirus. When you go on cruises, I learned this. Sometimes when you're in the middle and the hole,

you feel less of, the swaying of the boat. So a lot of people actually request that shit because they get sea sickness. Same thing with the plane. Like when you're in the aisle, you feel less than when you're on the window. Huh. So you're picking the week on the cruise Solo Dolo? It's genius room.

Yeah, I'm not going into a summer. And then dying. It's only like a couple hours of your life. And you might could be like a sick story out of it. Jack is low key on some suicide. No, no, no, no. No. No. And anything going underwater, I'm not getting in it. I know. It's just like sick to brag like I was on the ocean floor.

station was a logic controller. How deep are you going? Are you doing it? It was a Mad Cat's controller. God. One of the worst. This accessory is not supported. No more Titanic talk.

Even though I did, like I always thought like, what if they, why couldn't they just go down there and attach a bunch of crazy like balloons? Oh. And just explode them up. You know what I mean?

Like the titanic. You go down there and you, to try to lift the whole thing. Oh, like it's a pressure thing right now, I think. a pressure thing that it would just kind of disintegrate the boat wait what are we talking about

getting the they'll never be able to get it out the bottom yeah because it's been so like like almost preserved in the higher pressure salt water at the bottom if you were to bring it up it would just like fucking disintegrate really no shock I'm just trying to remember

the heart of gold got out I'm paraphrasing from a discovery channel for the hard of 20 years ago as best as I can better than I got oh it was never in Heart of the ocean was never in it. What's the heart of the ocean? Oh, the diamond from the movie. Oh, shoot.

Yeah. I fucking love that movie. Billy Zane. Man. I haven't seen it in forever. Great movie. Remember back on the VHS? It was two VHS.

Two VHS. That was crazy. That blew my mind to the kid. I do. And gangs of New York was two VHs. Gangs of New York was two age? That's the late era of VHS. Yeah.
