He'll let Shrek I value. And then we'll take it higher. Oh, we're gonna rock it down too. He let my take.. Is anybody barstown sports? Welcome to part of my take. Today is Friday, May 26th. And the Boston Celtics are back alive. PFT, you are sitting next to Hank right now, the smile on his face. Well, don't touch me. Hank just touched me. Yeah, so PFC, we will talk to Hank because he now gets to golf in the month of June. Everything, anytime you think Hank is down, he bounces back, he wins, he stays silent when he loses, then he comes back and just fucking yells in our face when he wins. PFT, let's start though, you and I are you now very nervous because you have the bet for the heat to win this series and you bet him up three. Oh, yeah, it was a plus expected value on the bet, by the way. I had some smart guys sit down after the fact crunch the numbers for me. I was getting 10% return on investment. It should have been about 5% given the history of the NBA and three nothing leads. So it was a sharp bet. I don't regret anything. I'm a I'm a process guy. Not a results guy. The process was right. I make that bet 10 times out of 10 in the future. But now I've kind of shifted my paradigm, Big Cat. And, you know, you're a good friend.

I'm a good friend. My good friend Hank, I would gladly pay $10,000 for Hank to be allowed to golf with me in the month of June. I want those friendship moments. I want Hank to be happy. Hank and I are going to be stuck here in Chicago on our island for the next month and we're going to be bonding and what better place for the fellas to bond than on a golf course. So if it's $10,000 cost to be friends with Hank for the month of June, well, then I guess I'm he's a he's a he's a prostitute. He's a friend prostitute for me and I'm paying $10,000 to spend time with this month. So I'm happy he's gonna be able to do that. I'm, I'm, it is tough being in the same room as him though.

Yeah.

When he's gonna be able to do that. I'm, I'm, it is tough being in the same room as him though. Yeah. When he's experiencing satisfaction and enjoyment. And I mean credit to Hank because it is, it's tough being a Boston sports fan for about a week. It looked like his team might lose in the playoffs. And that's hard, that's hard man. You got to battle through some shit Hank. So, you know, you've seen your adversity. You might be coming out the other side. I agree with Jake that game six is game seven. Tonight was game, it was game six, even though it was game five tonight. The Celtics won their game six, game five, and now it's up to the heat to win their game seven, game six. And the Celtics killed them from the jump. It was an electric crowd. They were hitting everything. It felt like there was like there was even a little bit of a moment where the heat like, oh, maybe they'll come back. No, not to be. I don't think Jimmy Butler played in the fourth quarter. It felt like everything was going in for the Celtics felt like they were at their level. I think there's a stat out there that when they hit over 40% from three, they're basically an unbeatable team. They did that again tonight and you had like everyone, like Marcus Smarthead 23, Derek Whitehead 24. Everyone was chipping in. It wasn't just Jason Tatum had to take over the whole game. Four out of their five starters were in 20 plus points. I tweeted during the game that I was happy that Hank gets to golf and then as soon as we pulled up this river side to record and I saw his face smile, it broke me because the guy, he just, you know, he skirts away from the losses and he gets to relish in the wins and here we are and Hank is all the way back. And I do think I still think it's probably a coin flip, but you can't deny the fact that the Celtics, it feels like momentum has shifted all the way back. And now it's a two game series. And if the Heat Don't Winning Game 6, it is big, big, big trouble. Hank, I mean, I'm happy. I'm very happy for Hank, the person.

I'm honestly sad, though, for the listeners of the show, yeah, because while Hank's going to get to enjoy himself, it does mean that their courting quality is going to suffer. The audio quality might suffer. Yes, he gets hands going to be working, you know, maybe two or three days this entire month, because he's going to be on the course the whole time. So just bear with us, AWLs. We love you.

And I hope that you can stand to listen to this podcast even though the quality is going

to be absolute shit with Hank just being not focused at all on his job.

Verbal meme, Hank, it is work, work, life balance.

And it's just the picture of like the future that meme, you know, like what the world would

be like if Hank was work

work. It would just, it would just be a wonderful world where we probably have the greatest guess. We probably get Kevin Durant on the show. I think how to do work work in June. But I mean, between his busy golf schedule and also making the trip to Miami to get his suit out of the ceiling that he left down there, I don't think Hank's going to be in the office So, but seriously though, Hank, congratulations.

I'm very happy for you, you shit.

Yeah, so go ahead.

Thank you.

Go ahead. to get his suit out of the ceiling that he left down there. I don't think Hank's gonna be in the office at all. So, but seriously though, Hank, congratulations.

I'm very happy for you, you shit.

So, go ahead, Hank.

Go ahead, push it in the kind of words. I will say that it's really not about me. It's not about golf. That's a side story, that's a side quest. This is all about the team. about the Boston Celtics. The jobs are finished. If the Celtics lose the series, I'm not going

to be happy on the golf course. I'm going sad we need to Win this series Sad on the golf course. Yeah, I'm not I'm a team player. I've entirely been focused only on winning the series I honestly forgot the golf thing was even a factor But I will say it was nice having. My golf game was kind of in a coma on life

support for the last two weeks. And you could have caused that last two weeks. No, I know, but like it was like, you know, am I ever going to see this person again? He's on my support. He's a vegetable. He might not wake up. Well, I did beat you. Yeah, you're right. And it's nice. Don't spoil the video. Okay. I beat He didn't, but I didn't.
