00:00:00How would you describe the quality of basketball between

00:00:03Orchester, New York and Kirkman?

00:00:06It's ugly basketball.

00:00:11Not a lot of talent. It is not great basketball at all.

00:00:15Oh! Gotta be an offensive foul!

00:00:19This is glorified pickup basketball if you even want to call it that.

00:00:25Yeah, the rivalry between KMS and New York has grown.

00:00:30They don't like us.

00:00:32These bitches.

00:00:33The Barstool New York City team is a bunch of lip service.

00:00:36These fatzos and freaks.

00:00:38We don't like them.

00:00:39You sent out that rolling for you?

00:00:41Snack called scuffing!

00:00:42He shoves Gus to the floor!

00:00:45You know, the five for us in game two is so different because we're playing for

00:00:48a guy we knew, a guy we're friends with, who died.

00:00:51Marty's saying, don't foul.

00:00:52What are you doing? Oh, why are you going to get open?

00:00:54Takes the three.

00:00:56Air pose!

00:00:57Yeah, Kirk.

00:00:58Kirk in his hands! Game over!

00:01:02Barstool New York is stunned!

00:01:04Stunned!

00:01:09This is a huge mental game here.

00:01:11This is bigger than just the games.

00:01:12This game, I think, is going to be ugly.

00:01:15It's a real rivalry.

00:01:16Well, Dave being there changes the rivalry in a way that becomes now me versus Dave.

00:01:21Fuck you, motherfucker!

00:01:22Expect Kirk.

00:01:23Kirk, Kirk!

00:01:24Shut the fuck up, you bald fuck.

00:01:26Everybody up.

00:01:27Shut the fuck up.

00:01:28Then go home.

00:01:28I hope someone close to you dies.

00:01:29I'm glad your parents are dead.

00:01:30You're such a belittling cocksucker.

00:01:32I don't care if you own the company.

00:01:33You're like anybody else.

00:01:34You can get knocked on your ass, too.

00:01:36Shut up!

00:01:36Okay, go ahead.

00:01:37You little bitch.

00:01:38You work for me.

00:01:53I try to get here like two and a half hours before the show starts and just come in,

00:01:57just kind of prep topics, see what Kirk's tweeted about, see anything on the internet if that interests him.

00:02:01Make sure the guests are good to go.

00:02:02Today we got Blind Mike and Gus in.

00:02:06There's no pre-show banter.

00:02:07There's no, hey, how's it going?

00:02:09How was your weekend?

00:02:10How's this?

00:02:11It's just all just, if he wants to ask me how my weekend was, he'll ask me on the show.

00:02:15Everything's always on the show.

00:02:17I try to get here about 30 minutes to an hour just to be safe, make sure everything's all set.

00:02:21It's always good to be early, be prepared.

00:02:22You never want to be the guy that shows up late, especially for Kirk.

00:02:25That's like, that's bad.

00:02:36We're good?

00:02:42We are live.

00:02:43Huh?

00:02:43We're live, yes.

00:02:44We're live, all right.

00:02:44Good morning.

00:02:46Oh, an unusual morning in show history.

00:02:48I don't think we've ever had somebody else in the room, a producer, watch, I don't know,

00:02:51Gus is, nobody happier than Gus would talk about himself, am I?

00:02:54I think he's going to be heavy in this documentary.

00:02:56Yeah, it feels like he's going to be, it's like American movie.

00:02:59I'm about to shock the world.

00:03:06How would I describe Kirk Minahan?

00:03:10A psychopath entertainer who sometimes gets lost in the shtick.

00:03:16Ladies and gentlemen, all rise!

00:03:20The Kirk Minahan show is difficult to define, I think.

00:03:24I'm not particularly concerned about the size of my audience.

00:03:26I don't particularly care about my audience.

00:03:28I shouldn't say that.

00:03:29I get frustrated with them.

00:03:30They are the wildlings.

00:03:31Like, you have the wall where civilized humanity live, and then over the wall,

00:03:37you have wildlings who are not part of the civilized world.

00:03:41They're mutants.

00:03:42They're online trolls.

00:03:43Their only king is the king of the north, which is Kirk.

00:03:47Our show is about us.

00:03:48It's a very insulated thing, and then we sht on other things.

00:03:51You know, the show's Barstool, other things in the world.

00:03:54So it's pretty cynical, but it's completely unique.

00:03:59I thought we had good practice last night.

00:04:00High intensity, Gus and Justin.

00:04:02Yes.

00:04:02Good practice.

00:04:03Everyone seemed focused.

00:04:04The challenge for me now is now we're playing the Russians again in the gold medal game.

00:04:07Like, we have to find a way to re-motivate these guys.

00:04:11It's going to be my greatest coaching challenge and my greatest coaching success, I think.

00:04:14Yeah.

00:04:15Well, my basketball career, I played, you know, high school, I was a pretty good prep

00:04:18school player, and I didn't play forever.

00:04:20And then we started playing in the league last year.

00:04:22Uh, Coleman, we kind of, it was founded because Coleman was so bad.

00:04:26Coleman, my former colleague back behind the glass, uh, he was in a basketball league,

00:04:31and we all called bullshit on it.

00:04:33My friends and I had a league called the SAC league, and we'd play three-on-three basketball,

00:04:37we'd do drafts, we would live stream it.

00:04:39Eventually that turned into that coming up on the show.

00:04:42You know, the shot from the corner hit the side of the backboard.

00:04:45Like, I was at the top of it.

00:04:46He literally looks like Sandy Lyle from Long Game Public.

00:04:48Yeah, it's unbelievable.

00:04:49There's, there's tough days.

00:04:50You're going to play a league around here, Coleman?

00:04:52I really want to.

00:04:53No, my friends are-

00:04:54We're still a KMS team.

00:04:54We'll find the league.

00:04:55I'll play.

00:04:55I'd love to.

00:04:56I'll play.

00:04:56Let's go.

00:04:57Oh, we'll get our asses kicked.

00:04:59And we were just off to the races from there, and we really didn't look back.

00:05:02Hello, everyone.

00:05:03We are live in Belmont, Massachusetts, as the KMS basketball team takes on the U30 Prodigy

00:05:09in their season opener.

00:05:11We developed that team through third chairs that were coming in on the show.

00:05:15Guys involved in the show.

00:05:16So the roster of the team, other than me, I would say Beanbag Ron.

00:05:19Beanbag Ron!

00:05:21Wow, that's a big shot!

00:05:23Splash from downtown!

00:05:24Endless motor.

00:05:25Recovering alcoholic, I think for now.

00:05:27I don't think it'll last, but that doesn't matter.

00:05:28My friend Mutt, can't shoot, doesn't have a job, will die alone.

00:05:33Jonan Warren, he's called Jonan Warren because he plays like a woman.

00:05:36Again, that's old school thinking.

00:05:37That's how we do it.

00:05:38Pat Ford's a blimp.

00:05:39We call him Playoff Pat because he never plays well in the big spots.

00:05:41Kind of a sarcastic nickname.

00:05:43Mick, who is Dave Portnoy's enemy.

00:05:46I hate this kid.

00:05:47Like, I do think he's an anti-Semitic piece of shit.

00:05:49Wow!

00:05:49Okay.

00:05:50Jack Coleman.

00:05:51He plays physical and is a closet homosexual.

00:05:53Obviously, Cinemalords news is a huge part of the show, a huge part of the team.

00:05:58Justin Trudell is my producer.

00:05:59Fuck!

00:06:00And we have Gus.

00:06:01Oh, my goodness.

00:06:04Oh, what an effort by Gus!

00:06:06The KMS basketball team is definitely a bunch of misfits that have somehow joined together

00:06:11and become one.

00:06:12Uh, not a lot of talent, not a lot of brains, but heart.

00:06:16This team has heart.

00:06:17Wide open.

00:06:18Coleman thinks about the shot.

00:06:19Drives in.

00:06:20Looking for the foul.

00:06:20Yeah, he might have got hit there.

00:06:22Cinemalords.

00:06:23That is not good.

00:06:25Thanks.

00:06:25Oh!

00:06:26Oh, I like it though.

00:06:27That's an error call, but that's okay.

00:06:28Team KMS will take their second loss of this season.

00:06:32We lost every game in our league.

00:06:34We were playing a league where guys were super talented, so I thought it'd be competitive,

00:06:36and it was.

00:06:37We battled, we hung in there, and it got a lot of attention, a lot of buzz in our games.

00:06:42Kirk's basketball team is the greatest basketball team that's ever been.

00:06:44It's the funniest shit out right now.

00:06:47I'm addicted to watching the Kirk Minahan basketball team.

00:06:50Kirk, your basketball team?

00:06:52Yep.

00:06:52You like this team?

00:06:53Kirk, you had him, Swinton.

00:06:54I saw him running like suicides, gross.

00:06:56Yeah, right.

00:06:57On Memorial Day.

00:06:58Yeah, Memorial Day.

00:06:59Kirk's practices were harder than the games we played.

00:07:02He likes to run practices like it's a real game, because once you're in the game, you're used to it,

00:07:07and he's not afraid to push you to your limit, whether mentally, physically.

00:07:10He's not afraid to throw some elbows.

00:07:11You're fucking standing there, you're fucking rebounding.

00:07:14Don't stop, stop, stop.

00:07:16Don't stop, all right.

00:07:17There's moments where Kirk has literally thrown me to the ground, or hammered me in the gut or

00:07:23something as he's trying to make a move, and that's what he does as a coach on the court.

00:07:28He's banging with the rest of us, just trying to get the best out of us, I think.

00:07:32Great board by Sinema, oh, Patrick.

00:07:35Great effort from Patrick as they hit the deck.

00:07:37Oh, this guy and Kirk getting, they're charring at each other here.

00:07:40Kirk Mahan team is all about loyalty.

00:07:43So if one person shoves someone, their whole team will be on the court to fight for that guy.

00:07:48I think there's another technical.

00:07:51The Augustus guy is a fucking maniac on the court.

00:08:02Gus, he's got an injury.

00:08:04Gus hits the deck.

00:08:08Oh, Gus hitting the floor.

00:08:10Good hustle from Gus.

00:08:11If you watch a basketball game where Gus is playing in it, he's going to hit the ground

00:08:16multiple times.

00:08:17I'm a physical guy who's 5'10", maybe $1.60.

00:08:20I don't have a lot of mass to me, and a lot of these guys, you put someone who's 6'2",

00:08:23240 next to me out, yeah, I'm going to get sent.

00:08:26I've ruptured my bursar sack in my elbow.

00:08:29Before the season and before the games, my doctors told me if I reopen my elbow,

00:08:33I could probably need surgery on that, so I'm a walking medical case.

00:08:37Over to Mutt, Mick.

00:08:39Butterfingers, oh, that's got to be a foul.

00:08:41Mick got banged up a little there.

00:08:43They got Mick, who's got Crohn's disease, and the team might actually kill him.

00:08:48They had an intervention being like, he might die.

00:08:51Yeah, so I have Crohn's disease.

00:08:53I've got diagnosed it when I was 19.

00:08:55I kind of hit a crashing point.

00:08:56It was last summer during the basketball season.

00:08:57I was just, I was 110 pounds.

00:08:59I was miserable.

00:09:02What?

00:09:03I'm dying, Kirk.

00:09:04You're sick.

00:09:05Let's go.

00:09:05You're sick right out of here.

00:09:06I mean, you're getting the ball.

00:09:07Let's go.

00:09:07Me and Kirk had gotten into basically almost a fist fight.

00:09:10Yeah, we're screaming at each other face to face.

00:09:11Yes or no?

00:09:12Yes or no?

00:09:12Don't say anything.

00:09:14Yes or no?

00:09:14Don't say no part.

00:09:15You understand?

00:09:15Yes.

00:09:16Yes.

00:09:17I appreciate the guys putting up with me the last year on the team.

00:09:21Couldn't really do much.

00:09:22Just kind of was a guy bitching on the bench, so.

00:09:24I think Mick is a giant piece of shit.

00:09:26I can't help it.

00:09:27I like Mick.

00:09:28I think, you know what, Justin, I think you do too.

00:09:30I don't.

00:09:30Justin, you're a piece of shit.

00:09:31That's all I'm going to say.

00:09:32Give me an example.

00:09:32Don't Mick.

00:09:33Don't take it on Mick.

00:09:34Don't take it on Mick.

00:09:35You fucking.

00:09:36It stemmed from, I guess, the producer search.

00:09:39He was making up lies that the Saudi Arabian government was breaking into his house trying

00:09:44to stop him from releasing a podcast series.

00:09:46He's just, he's a liar.

00:09:48He's a troll.

00:09:49He just made up lies that I'm a racist.

00:09:51He was calling out my family members.

00:09:52He says it was all in jokes, but I just think Mick is a giant hypocritical piece of shit.

00:09:57I'm willing to kind of like put that aside for this game, but I don't like him.

00:10:01Do you have any internal beef with anyone on the team?

00:10:04No.

00:10:05No, I don't.

00:10:06I think a lot of people would think I would say Justin right now.

00:10:09I don't think he's the biggest fan of me.

00:10:11I think he probably hates me, which is fair.

00:10:14But I don't have anything, no, I have nothing against him.

00:10:16Nothing against Gus.

00:10:17Guys have had problems in the past.

00:10:19Just pass it now.

00:10:23Cliff, what'd I say?

00:10:24Cliff, there's like 10 turnovers.

00:10:28Huh?

00:10:29Is it 10?

00:10:30Is it 10?

00:10:31I said it was 10.

00:10:32Is it 10?

00:10:33Kirk wants no nonsense.

00:10:35He's just no bullshit.

00:10:36He's a dictator.

00:10:38Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler.

00:10:40It's his way of the highway.

00:10:42If you're on Kirk's team, you better get in line.

00:10:44Because if you don't, you are off that team.

00:10:48Keep shooting though.

00:10:49Shoot that.

00:10:52It's progress.

00:10:53What?

00:10:54What'd you say?

00:10:57Who can't shoot?

00:11:00Get out of here.

00:11:02Go.

00:11:02Goodbye.

00:11:07You out of here?

00:11:08Get out of here.

00:11:09Fuck out of here.

00:11:11We don't talk shit about our guys like that.

00:11:16It's our manager, Brando.

00:11:17Pull it.

00:11:18Pull it.

00:11:20Hey, you see that, Brando?

00:11:22Brando.

00:11:23Brando, you see that?

00:11:25Who made a shot there?

00:11:27Pat made a shot.

00:11:28Yeah, get the fuck out of here.

00:11:29We got practice.

00:11:40First practice, 9 a.m. today.

00:11:42Hubbs is here.

00:11:44Fucking day one of war here.

00:11:47Next month, just got to dedicate my life to this team.

00:11:51This is ridiculous.

00:11:52We're in like Brooklyn at 9 in the morning.

00:11:55If Rigo tries to run a drill, no.

00:11:58What's up?

00:11:59How we doing, baby?

00:12:01Great.

00:12:01Yeah, how you feeling?

00:12:02Great.

00:12:03A lot of energy this morning.

00:12:04Yeah, listen, I got a game to win.

00:12:06We got a game to win.

00:12:07This is real stuff.

00:12:08It's weird in terms of leadership.

00:12:10I'd say we're kind of 180 different than KMS over there.

00:12:15Guys, what the fuck?

00:12:16God damn it, Cliff.

00:12:17Marty, I would say, is the voice of the team.

00:12:21I wish Rigo kind of vocalized a little bit more.

00:12:23But if I had to pick somebody, I'd say it's Marty.

00:12:26Listen, we still are missing Rigo.

00:12:30I think we're going to start with some suicides.

00:12:36Let's go.

00:12:37Come on.

00:12:43The New York team, if you look at us and look at our past

00:12:46and look at how we play sports, we are the more athletic team.

00:12:50Nick Mulcahy is probably our best offensively.

00:12:52Very well-rounded, can rebound, can shoot.

00:12:55Jet ski, I like to compare to like a Russell Westbrook.

00:12:58Insane motor, crazy athleticism.

00:13:02Marty is very deceptively athletic.

00:13:05In his head, Marty may be the number one scoring option.

00:13:08I think Marty looks to shoot first.

00:13:10And I think Marty is a shooting guard.

00:13:12I don't think Marty is a point guard.

00:13:13And that's not his fault.

00:13:14We just don't have a point guard.

00:13:16Who's going to bring up the ball, Hubs?

00:13:18And then Ken Jack's on the team.

00:13:20He's not very good.

00:13:21I think he knows that he's not very good, but we need team morale.

00:13:24He's our bench.

00:13:25If anyone gets hurt, he's going in.

00:13:27I was not in any sense expecting to be like some sort of big contributor.

00:13:31I hadn't played basketball since like high school.

00:13:33So I was just like, it'd be fun to go out there and play a little bit with some friends.

00:13:37We started this team, I think about two years ago.

00:13:40And it was just because Dana wanted to play basketball.

00:13:43Dana was trying to get a team together and we're going to film it for content.

00:13:47Like, that's great.

00:13:47It's me, Dana, Marty, Mulcahy, Jetsky, those guys.

00:13:50We had a meeting right before our first game.

00:13:53And there seemed to be like a good amount of guys.

00:13:55I'm like, what if I just coach?

00:13:56You got to set back screens, all that shit.

00:13:58We'll be fun.

00:13:59I think I might end up being the coach.

00:14:00Yeah, that's fun.

00:14:01As coach, I'm going to be in charge of taking players in and out.

00:14:04You can, right now you can be the coach.

00:14:08I am the coach.

00:14:09Chris Clemmer brought less to Barstool New York as a coach

00:14:15than I think any human on earth could have brought.

00:14:18I don't think he knows a lot about actual coaching.

00:14:21He definitely looked the part.

00:14:22I gave him the nickname Autistic Brad Stevens.

00:14:24He couldn't get the grasp sense of spacing or even a pass cut replace.

00:14:28Like, like just little shit, you know?

00:14:30I mean, you got to give us something as a coach.

00:14:31Clemmer hasn't looked down at this end of the floor

00:14:33fucking one time.

00:14:34Triangle and two is the play.

00:14:35I think he would scout and go Grinnell system.

00:14:37They have five guys.

00:14:38Don't worry about the Grinnell system, Rico.

00:14:40Worry about making some fucking shots.

00:14:42My relationship with the New York team was tumultuous.

00:14:45There's no water.

00:14:47Guess what?

00:14:48You're water black.

00:14:49Relax.

00:14:49Sit down.

00:14:50Make your free throws sound.

00:14:51You got to contest those shots, Billy.

00:14:54You got two arms.

00:14:55Use them.

00:14:55Clemmer's just physical comedy because of the way he looks.

00:14:58Like, you see Clemmer and you're like, holy cow.

00:15:00Look, what a weird looking guy.

00:15:02He's just kind of existing without really doing too much.

00:15:05He's just there.

00:15:06Damn it.

00:15:07I fucking saved him.

00:15:08Six fucking weeks.

00:15:10I didn't know much about Clemmer before he started working here,

00:15:14but Kirk does this like rotating third chair on his show.

00:15:17And he was a guest on there a lot.

00:15:19Keep behind the curtain.

00:15:20Chris, good to have you back.

00:15:21Thank you, Kirk.

00:15:21It's been a while, right?

00:15:22When was the last time you were here?

00:15:23December.

00:15:23I've been listening to Kirk since he was on Boston Radio.

00:15:26Always been a fan of Kirk.

00:15:27Reached out to Kirk Van Handen Show and said,

00:15:29hey, if you ever need a guest producer, I'm down to help.

00:15:31Kirk thought I had a kind of a weird voice, kind of a weird energy,

00:15:34and then ended up bringing me into studio.

00:15:35And then I ended up doing the show every week for about a year.

00:15:38He was like the guys on Kirk's basketball team.

00:15:41Idolizes Kirk.

00:15:43Will died for him.

00:15:44We should have known something was up that his loyalty is to Kirk, not us.

00:15:47Like, he didn't give a fuck whether or not we won or we lost.

00:15:51I feel I was an okay coach for Barstool NYC.

00:15:54Definitely could have been better.

00:15:58For the record, Amadi didn't ask what time anybody can make this practice.

00:16:02I am completely off soda since the announcement of the game.

00:16:06It is a tough, tough battle.

00:16:08It doesn't help when Clemmer keeps buying them for you

00:16:10and leaving them on the desk.

00:16:11I have sniffed them.

00:16:13I have not sipped them.

00:16:14How are you feeling, Bosco?

00:16:16What's your thoughts on the team?

00:16:18Give us something.

00:16:18So listen, I know I break balls.

00:16:19Like, we got to run.

00:16:20I think we just need to run actions.

00:16:23Pass, cut, fucking ghost.

00:16:25Same thing, like, pass.

00:16:26So how about you show people here?

00:16:28All right.

00:16:28We need Rico to do more, which is what he has been doing.

00:16:31He's training with, like, 15-year-olds on Staten Island every weekend.

00:16:34Our game plan needs to be ball to Bosco.

00:16:41Rico has an extremely high basketball IQ.

00:16:44Pass, right?

00:16:45Marty jumps this way.

00:16:46Pass.

00:16:46It's the obvious screen away.

00:16:47Instead of the fucking screen away, bang.

00:16:49Free space.

00:16:50Now we go this, and I can move here, and we got an option.

00:16:52Instead of the flare, bang.

00:16:53Now we're looking at that.

00:16:54Bang, bang.

00:16:55And now we're going this way.

00:16:56Whatever.

00:16:57If I'm hot today, you're hot today, whatever.

00:16:58Instead of the pick, I'm slipping down.

00:16:59I can reset when the guy adjusts.

00:17:01Here we go.

00:17:01We got Pat in the fucking post on a mismatch.

00:17:04Can't overcomplicate it.

00:17:05It's just simple shit like that.

00:17:07I think everyone at this point knows that in Rico's mind,

00:17:11he's a Division I college basketball coach.

00:17:13You would leave Barstool right now to be Alabama's head coach.

00:17:15We all know that.

00:17:17He'll say no, but he would.

00:17:18We did the Barstool Invitational, and Rico was a mop boy.

00:17:22Rico went to our editors and asked the mop to be edited out

00:17:30so he could send these to college basketball coaches around the country

00:17:34to make it look like he was on the court coaching people up.

00:17:38As you can see from these photos.

00:17:45There you go, two points.

00:17:46We have four practices until KMS.

00:17:48We got to fucking stick my fucking fist so far up on his ass,

00:17:52he can never walk again.

00:17:54That's what we need to do, all right?

00:17:54Yeah.

00:17:55Yeah, the rivalry between KMS and New York has grown.

00:17:58The first game happened because KMS started live streaming the games.

00:18:02And I remember I was watching, and I was like,

00:18:04we have two teams, why aren't we doing this?

00:18:06I want to play with Kirkman and Hampton.

00:18:09Right now I'm calling them out and saying,

00:18:11I want to play, not even to beat them,

00:18:14because we're going to beat them.

00:18:16I just need to see it with my own eyes on a basketball court.

00:18:19The Barstool New York team wants to challenge us to a basketball team.

00:18:21This five right here?

00:18:22No, no, sorry, Clemmer.

00:18:24The Barstool New York team, Clemmer's team,

00:18:26is going to challenge our team to a game.

00:18:28We have to win dirty if we play them.

00:18:29Yeah, yeah.

00:18:30I just got a text message from Kirkman and he's accepting the challenge.

00:18:33Accepted.

00:18:35Let's go, boys.

00:18:35Let's go.

00:18:36There will be casualties in this battle.

00:18:40We are live in Berlin, Connecticut, as Team KMS takes on Barstool New York.

00:18:46What an atmosphere, Josh.

00:18:47I mean, so many Minifans here.

00:18:48This place is pretty packed.

00:18:50Every seat is full right now.

00:18:51We showed up to this gym and right away we were getting chirped by people.

00:18:56We thought we were going to show up to this game.

00:18:57No one's going to be there.

00:18:59What are you like in the game tonight?

00:19:01I don't know.

00:19:02I just like Kirk Minahan's show.

00:19:04It's like brides and beers.

00:19:05I can never get enough.

00:19:06Who's the guy in cargo shorts?

00:19:07These are European.

00:19:08Oh, that's Sinema, right?

00:19:10Jesus Christ.

00:19:10Yeah, he has such part of his uniform.

00:19:12He has to wear them.

00:19:12Clemmer's guaranteeing a double-digit win.

00:19:16You didn't talk to the guy about the cargo shorts?

00:19:18That's his trademark.

00:19:18He has to wear cargo shorts.

00:19:20Yeah, that's his trademark.

00:19:21That's all he wears.

00:19:22I feel great about my guys, you know?

00:19:24I mean, obviously, me personally, I had some brutal foul shots the other night.

00:19:29But I've been working on it, you know?

00:19:31I think we're ready.

00:19:32I think it's going to be a war out here.

00:19:33In preparation for the games, I definitely was watching the streams.

00:19:36Kirk tries to fight a ref in the first minute of every single game they have.

00:19:40He doesn't get tossed because he's Kirk.

00:19:42The moment you let them in, you lose yourself for the game.

00:19:46That's why in game one, we had Billy.

00:19:48Like, even in warm-ups, we lost Billy.

00:19:50These guys have talked so much fucking shit.

00:19:54Kirk's talking about rearranging my face so my parents can't recognize me.

00:19:59Oh, I hear things about you.

00:20:00Oh, I hear things about you.

00:20:01Oh.

00:20:03You just got to do your best to not let it affect you.

00:20:06And it's very difficult.

00:20:08The ref's betting on the game.

00:20:09Full disclosure, I am a minute fan too, so I'll keep it right down the middle though, all right?

00:20:13No, no.

00:20:14God damn it.

00:20:15I go into every game just to ref the game of basketball.

00:20:18I don't have any ulterior motives.

00:20:20I don't have any favorites.

00:20:21I just try to make sure the game flows.

00:20:28Make it fucking feels.

00:20:30Here we go.

00:20:31And the tip-off is one.

00:20:34Marty Mush pushing it up the floor here for Barstool New York City.

00:20:37When the game started, we realized that they were double-teaming Dana because he was our best player.

00:20:42Basically, I was like a Make-A-Wish kid out there.

00:20:44It was wide open the entire time.

00:20:46And I just kept hitting threes.

00:20:48Over to Hubs.

00:20:48Marty.

00:20:50Got it to go.

00:20:51Marty Mush got it.

00:20:52He can nail it and he does.

00:20:54Gotta get a man on him.

00:20:55He's unbelievable in this first half.

00:20:57I think I hit like eight threes against them.

00:20:59I played unbelievable.

00:21:01The cinema lord's wide open for Patrick Ford.

00:21:03Takes it.

00:21:03Nails it.

00:21:04There you go.

00:21:04This is what we need from them.

00:21:06Yes.

00:21:06These role players.

00:21:07Time out by Clemory.

00:21:08Didn't like that open wood.

00:21:09Didn't like it.

00:21:10They're talking.

00:21:11They're fucking tired.

00:21:11They're tired.

00:21:12The guys.

00:21:12Go, go, go.

00:21:13Let's go.

00:21:13We're going to win the game.

00:21:14Okay?

00:21:15We're coming in just two minutes.

00:21:16Okay.

00:21:17Cut ball slow off.

00:21:21It was actually getting a little dicey.

00:21:22We needed a bucket.

00:21:25Tommy makes a nice skip to me across the court.

00:21:28I dish it right into Billy.

00:21:29I make a beautiful backdoor cut.

00:21:31Beautiful cut for Rico.

00:21:33Hits the deck and gets the foul.

00:21:35As I'm up in the air, Gus, with no control of his body, turns his back, ducks.

00:21:39Immediately, I was worried about my face and my teeth being in the back of my head.

00:21:43Got up, was kind of in the moment, shoved him.

00:21:45He shoves Gus to the floor.

00:21:48Shoves Gus to the floor.

00:21:49That's got to be a technical foul.

00:21:54Gus definitely undercut him.

00:21:55That is not a good look.

00:21:57Rico is pissed off.

00:21:59He looks like he's bleeding from the mouth a little bit.

00:22:01Things can happen, a mistake.

00:22:02Like, you can knock a guy down if you lose control a little bit.

00:22:05A dirty play like that is no means for it on the basketball court.

00:22:08No place for it.

00:22:09I mean, it was a dirty play.

00:22:10It's just Gus being Gus.

00:22:12The guy is not all there.

00:22:14I've watched him play.

00:22:15I've heard he has had, like, a stroke or something.

00:22:17And I don't think his body works normally anymore.

00:22:20I wasn't trying to go look.

00:22:21I was saying that.

00:22:22I wasn't trying to go look.

00:22:24An unfortunate play happened.

00:22:25I tried to get out of the way and protect myself.

00:22:27Took him out.

00:22:28Both teams got rejuvenized after.

00:22:30We made a nice comeback.

00:22:31We got the game close.

00:22:32Marty Mush just going to dribble the ball out in solidarity here.

00:22:3711-point win here for Barstool, New York.

00:22:40After losing the game, I felt pretty mixed because we battled back.

00:22:42We were down early and we got it down like six or eight points.

00:22:45And we were never in that position before.

00:22:46And we kind of crumbled.

00:22:47That was a little ugly.

00:22:48I want to see how that turns out.

00:22:50Rico looks like he's hurting over here.

00:22:56I've never seen.

00:22:57His face was red.

00:22:58He was biting his lip.

00:23:00He was spitting everywhere.

00:23:03And I thought he was actually going to kill Gus.

00:23:06I absolutely should hate Gus the rest of my life.

00:23:08Absolutely.

00:23:09Brutal, brutal play.

00:23:10You know, just if you're going to do that, you can't be on the basketball court.

00:23:13I was trying to take a charge.

00:23:15Then I knew that I saw the foul coming back in.

00:23:16So I tried to pull out.

00:23:17It didn't look delicious for you.

00:23:18No, I feel bad.

00:23:24Barstool, New York won 49-38.

00:23:27Also, let's talk about the Rico Gus thing.

00:23:29Did you guys see the clip?

00:23:29Yeah, that was crazy.

00:23:31Gus the bus undercut Rico.

00:23:32Rico face planted little brouhaha.

00:23:35I'm glad it happened because I was laughing, but cheap shot can't have it.

00:23:39Like Rico just drove his knee into Gus's shoulder.

00:23:42It really hurt Gus bad.

00:23:44But Rico's a history of doing terrible things.

00:23:46I've never seen Rico do anything nearly as dirty as what Gus was doing.

00:23:50Is Gus now in an arm?

00:23:51Both in a sling!

00:23:52Both guys have injuries, so.

00:23:55What's your injury, Gus?

00:23:57It's a ruptured bursa pad, and I chipped both the bones in the elbow.

00:24:01So, Gus, get that fucking sling off right now, buddy.

00:24:06I swear to God.

00:24:06Rico's shoulder is hanging on by a threat.

00:24:08I think Gus is a dirty basketball player and has the intent to injure.

00:24:13Okay, okay.

00:24:14Gus, do you agree with that?

00:24:16No, I don't.

00:24:16I, it wasn't an intent to injure because I, well, I mean, but what about the, what about

00:24:20the play the week before?

00:24:21Over to 22.

00:24:22Bounce pass over to eight on the transition.

00:24:25Oh, that is a tough foul.

00:24:27Well, you got Rico blogging like, Gus is a lousy dad.

00:24:29My dad shot hoops in my dad.

00:24:31My dad played catch for me.

00:24:32Did your dad teach you how to throw a fucking can at somebody at work?

00:24:36Go right to your fucking face.

00:24:37You understand that?

00:24:38You fucking understand?

00:24:39I'll fucking put it right through you.

00:24:41You're stupid fucker.

00:24:42I love Rico, but what the fuck?

00:24:44I need to be in a good, I need to be in a good spot with Kirk.

00:24:46When that does it, the HIPAA, the HIPAA goes through the roof.

00:24:49My relationship with Rico is complicated.

00:24:51We have been up and down 40 times in the last six years, 50 times.

00:24:56You're so fucking dead to me.

00:24:57I don't understand what happened.

00:24:58You fucking lied is what happened.

00:24:59How did I lie?

00:25:00You're going to keep that.

00:25:01Ikerk, he's like me, a firecracker.

00:25:05Little things can piss us off.

00:25:07Once the game starts and the ball tips, that's it.

00:25:10He's on the other team.

00:25:11He drives me crazy.

00:25:12He's a little brother element to it.

00:25:13But I'm going to enjoy seeing him get his leg broken.

00:25:15That's for sure.

00:25:22Oh, great rebound by me.

00:25:23I got a box elbow on Tommy.

00:25:25Tommy's out there too, Jesus.

00:25:26This is wild that we played this game.

00:25:28Oh, here's the Gus player Rico laying him out right there.

00:25:31That's so great.

00:25:33Marty killed us in this game.

00:25:35And Mulcahy was very good.

00:25:36Mulcahy, I think, is your best player.

00:25:37I'm sure he'll play well.

00:25:38We got to figure him out.

00:25:39These guys were gassed at this point.

00:25:41We just kept playing his own, which was a mistake.

00:25:43And here's Sinema right here.

00:25:44Sinema cuts to the basket on, I don't know who even that is.

00:25:47Oh, it's Mulcahy at all.

00:25:48Sinema had a good game.

00:25:49We played in the league and Sinema was pretty good.

00:25:51But this was actually the best game Sinema played.

00:25:54He played really, really well in this game.

00:26:00I was running on a Saturday morning and Justin called me.

00:26:04Very rare on the weekend he would call me.

00:26:06And he was crying and I said, what's going on?

00:26:08He said, I don't know how to tell you this,

00:26:09but Sinema Lords passed away.

00:26:13Sinema Lords, Nick Soares, he was a third chair.

00:26:16He would come on the Kirk Minahan show and talk about movies.

00:26:18He was a member of the KMS universe.

00:26:21Oh man, I'm just happy to be here.

00:26:22Every time's a great time.

00:26:23Just cool to mingle with fucking fellow lunatics

00:26:26who all just enjoy the same thing.

00:26:28He was one of the funniest, nicest guys you would have ever met.

00:26:32He won Minna Fan of the Year and he was a big devoted fan of Kirk.

00:26:36The first time he ever came on the Kirk Minahan show,

00:26:38he was wearing these long cargo shorts and it looked like it was halfway down his ass.

00:26:43And Kirk goes, well, what's with those cargo shorts?

00:26:45He goes, I always wear cargo shorts.

00:26:48So when we got the basketball team together,

00:26:51Kirk said that Sinema Lords can be on the team with one condition.

00:26:54He always has to wear the cargo shorts.

00:26:56How will the car go if that's good?

00:26:57I got a pair that's already pretty beat up and I can hike them up pretty hard.

00:27:01So we'll still be able to be able to get them off.

00:27:06We're good.

00:27:06He gave 150%.

00:27:08If other guys are giving 110%, Sinema gave 150% in every single game.

00:27:13Takes the three.

00:27:14Sinema off the backboard.

00:27:16Banks it in.

00:27:17No Sinema's basket.

00:27:19Mutt saying, let's go get this crowd into it.

00:27:21First, everybody to like somebody is so rare.

00:27:23Everybody loved him.

00:27:24He's just a wonderful guy.

00:27:25There's just a heart.

00:27:26It still is heartbreaking that he passed away.

00:27:30The response the last couple of days has been incredible.

00:27:33Unbelievable.

00:27:34He was telling his family yesterday.

00:27:35I mean, I expected it to be big, but this has been insane.

00:27:39Yeah.

00:27:39We were kind of kicking around.

00:27:40Marty and I kicking around playing another game this year.

00:27:42And then it kind of faded away.

00:27:44And then Sinema passed away.

00:27:45I texted Kirk.

00:27:46I was like, hey, we should play a game for Sinema Lords.

00:27:50We can do something like raise money, sell shirts, whatever.

00:27:53And Kirk loved the idea.

00:27:54And that's kind of how that came to fruition in the second game.

00:27:58So I sent out an email to everyone in production and the content and said,

00:28:00hey, look, we're playing team KMS.

00:28:02We need players to potentially fill roster spots.

00:28:05When we played these first two seasons and that game,

00:28:08everyone was kind of gaining interest.

00:28:09Like, damn, I would love to play in the next one.

00:28:12We're like, oh, yeah, great.

00:28:13We're going to have like a big tryout.

00:28:14This is going to be very funny.

00:28:15I said Clemmer should make cuts.

00:28:17We showed up.

00:28:18It was me, Hubs, and John Rich, and Clemmer.

00:28:22We sent out a company email twice.

00:28:26This is the group.

00:28:27I was more wanting to see if anybody else wanted to play on the team with us.

00:28:30And I guess the answer is no.

00:28:32One of the saddest days of my life, actually,

00:28:36that I spent an hour playing basketball with Clemmer.

00:28:38Oh!

00:28:42Morale was low after that because I kind of came in being like,

00:28:45where the fuck was anybody?

00:28:47So we're now trying to figure out anyone that can play.

00:28:51So we went after Pat.

00:28:52We're like, we need someone tall.

00:28:54And Pat was always like a good player.

00:28:56And then Steve, he played D1 lacrosse.

00:28:59We finally convinced him to play.

00:29:01It was like we had to convince people to play.

00:29:03It wasn't like it was like, oh, we're so excited.

00:29:05I think everyone complained about the game.

00:29:08We have pretty good jobs here at Barstool.

00:29:09You would think people would want a chance to play basketball for content.

00:29:12They had tryouts to Team KMS.

00:29:14You had to line out the door.

00:29:15Here we are, big tryouts.

00:29:17There's about 70 people coming up.

00:29:19There is a lot at stake.

00:29:21Two to three slots open to make it on the KMS.

00:29:24Dream team looking for a huge game against Barstool.

00:29:27Dream 10.

00:29:28Starting with suicides.

00:29:29Kirk is not playing around.

00:29:31Looks like Quidditch guy's got an injury.

00:29:32He's playing through it though.

00:29:33Quidditch guy, get off the court.

00:29:34Somebody go in for him.

00:29:35You got some of the juice coming?

00:29:37Uh, Miranda showed up late.

00:29:38Overslept.

00:29:39They worked third shift last night.

00:29:40What would you do if you were me?

00:29:41You'd throw me out?

00:29:43Hang in there, buddy.

00:29:44Thanks for coming.

00:29:44There were guys who were way more skilled than the guys we picked,

00:29:47but you had to have a link to the show.

00:29:49Some guy comes up and says,

00:29:50a fan of the show, but I don't know you.

00:29:51I felt like that was bullshit.

00:29:52I found out that the ref, Moe, tried out for the Kirk Minahan team,

00:29:58which is crazy.

00:29:59Obviously, I consumed Kirk's content.

00:30:02He said, hey, all Minna fans go out there.

00:30:04He didn't pick me, which is fine.

00:30:05I'm a competitor, man.

00:30:06I love basketball.

00:30:07And I think I would have helped that team a lot if I played.

00:30:10So within the spirit of the team, we had Matt from Providence.

00:30:12Nice three right there by the guy in the black Nike shirt there.

00:30:15Matt from Providence.

00:30:16That was a good shot.

00:30:18Steve from Gloucester.

00:30:19Steve from Gloucester.

00:30:22Oh, boy.

00:30:22Yeah, somebody has suicide in over a decade.

00:30:24So yeah, Kevin from Bristol.

00:30:26Kirk, we've got Kevin from Bristol pledging to retry out again.

00:30:29All right, yeah, I guess one more show.

00:30:32He's hurting.

00:30:33He is grimacing.

00:30:35Cliff, a guy we added as well.

00:30:36Inexcusable by Cliff right now.

00:30:38Cliff, what the fuck?

00:30:40He's hurting.

00:30:40Donnie.

00:30:41How about Donnie?

00:30:42Okay.

00:30:42I will say Cliff didn't smell like cigarettes.

00:30:45And then Kevin Soares, who sent his brother.

00:30:47Did you send his brother here?

00:30:48Yeah.

00:30:49Yes, sir.

00:30:51Once he tried out, I said, there's no way we're not adding him.

00:30:53Cinema on three.

00:30:54One, two, three.

00:30:54Cinema.

00:30:55Cinema Lords, who was a big part of the Kirk show.

00:30:59You know, he was super excited when he first got, you know, called on.

00:31:02And he did a great job.

00:31:04And everybody loved him.

00:31:05And I was very, very proud of him and very happy for him.

00:31:08And it sucks, you know, now that he's not here.

00:31:11When I heard the show talking about his spot on the basketball team and stuff,

00:31:15I definitely wanted to try out.

00:31:16And I'm just glad that I could, you know, try and fill his shoes on the team as best as I can right now.

00:31:21Good evening, Minna fans, and welcome to KMS Basketball as they take on Team Pissed.

00:31:29I am Joshua Kamara alongside James Burke here, weeks away from the Barstool Clash, June 9th.

00:31:37We did a couple scrimmages leading up to Barstool, one of which we got blown up by 60,

00:31:41one of which ended before halftime in a fight.

00:31:43It's a big fight, Kirk.

00:31:45Yeah.

00:31:45That looks like a Game of Thrones battle.

00:31:52Hey, look, yeah, I mean, chippy game, and yeah, somebody took a cheap shot at Gus.

00:31:57Just kind of a careless play.

00:31:59Mick.

00:32:00I don't think he appreciates.

00:32:02Oh!

00:32:04Oh, Mick trying to get into it.

00:32:05Mick throwing.

00:32:07Look at this.

00:32:07It is now a scrum.

00:32:08Oh, boy.

00:32:10This is insane.

00:32:11This is nuts.

00:32:12Yep.

00:32:13Yeah, fights like to follow us around.

00:32:15Some kid came from behind me, shoved me down to the ground from behind, and launched me.

00:32:20That happened because early in the game, I was shoved in the back, and as I went down,

00:32:24my legs went up and got tangled.

00:32:27Oh, all right, so he's kicking in there.

00:32:31Yeah.

00:32:31And then he picks the legs up.

00:32:35That's not a great angle.

00:32:36I'll grant you that.

00:32:37I would not put this guy in a basketball game.

00:32:39Like, he's proven time and again.

00:32:41He may actually hurt somebody, and nobody actually wants to get hurt.

00:32:45Kirk will say he can't control himself.

00:32:47He doesn't control his body.

00:32:48But Kirk wouldn't care.

00:32:50If Gus went out and maimed somebody, he wouldn't care.

00:32:53It was not my intention to trip him.

00:32:54As I said, I got pushed in the back, and as I hit the ground, my legs just kind of flail up.

00:32:59Even before that, Cliff threw a basketball off someone's head.

00:33:02Like, just spiked a basketball off some kid's head.

00:33:04Oh, he whipped the ball at his face.

00:33:09But the lasting image I have is Justin Trudell jumping in, ready to kill someone in that fight.

00:33:14The team storming off the bench, and then a referee saying, I'm too old for this.

00:33:18I got to work tomorrow.

00:33:19The game is over.

00:33:20I don't know, James Trudell.

00:33:20The ref's putting on a jacket here.

00:33:22But you saw teammates support each other, which is what this team has done since Kirk put it together.

00:33:27In that moment, that fight, I was like, we are fucking together.

00:33:30You cannot break us.

00:33:32Hey, Barstool New York better be ready, because these boys are, uh...

00:33:34They are on a mission to win that game.

00:33:36One, two, three.

00:33:37Sit up!

00:33:42Guten Tag from the great city of Berlin, Connecticut.

00:33:47I'm Ted Sellers, here with Bobby Costa and Brando.

00:33:51And we are so excited to bring you tonight's action.

00:33:54The marquee matchup of this basketball season between Team KMS and Barstool New York City.

00:34:01It's a long way from Watertown, but it sure does feel like a home game here.

00:34:05This is what it's all about.

00:34:07This is cinema's jersey, and that is, at the end of the day, what tonight is all about.

00:34:13Team KMS going to get, hopefully, their first win to honor their brother Cinema Lord here.

00:34:19Here's the Barstool team.

00:34:20Good luck tonight, boys.

00:34:21You walk into this arena.

00:34:23You have Cinema Lord's family who's all there.

00:34:26The energy's high.

00:34:27You know, you can just feel the eyes of a thousand Minifans just fucking beating on your back.

00:34:32Like, they all want to say something, and you know what they want to say.

00:34:39We were a prey, and they were the Predators just about to beat the shit out of all of us.

00:34:43What did you tell me you just did?

00:34:44Oh, just gave Clemmer the finger.

00:34:45Attaboy.

00:34:46Yeah.

00:34:46Good job, Mayo.

00:34:47Prove reaction as Chris Clemmer walks in.

00:34:49Nothing but cheers, I imagine, right?

00:34:51Giant cheers.

00:34:52See?

00:34:52Exactly.

00:34:52Giant cheers.

00:34:53Game two between KMS and Barstool, I think we're looking at this like,

00:34:57all right, we'll go down there, we'll beat them because we beat them last time,

00:34:59then we'll just get back in the car and go home.

00:35:01You know, we're playing this to beat Barstool, New York.

00:35:03You know, they talked all this shit about us, and I'm still kind of like,

00:35:05nah, Sinema would have gave 110% in this game.

00:35:09I want to play hard for him still, and I want to get a win for him still,

00:35:12because he's not here and isn't able to do that.

00:35:15When I heard that a player on the team had passed away, I was like,

00:35:18oh, there's a little bit more riding on this than just a regular game.

00:35:20I mean, it doesn't matter if they took us seriously or not.

00:35:23There was one team that was ready to play, and one team wasn't, plain and simple.

00:35:26Nice. Josh, I will say this is a different Barstool, New York team than last time.

00:35:31Speaking of that, we've got Marty Mush pushing the tempo here.

00:35:36I completely underestimated the competition.

00:35:38So I think the first three plays of that game, I think I had two turnovers.

00:35:42A lot of physicality early, James.

00:35:43Hey, a little zone defense here from Team KMS.

00:35:46Great defense. Here we go, Max. He's all over him.

00:35:50Oh, yes. There we go, ladies and gentlemen.

00:35:53Yeah. Pat's not used to that.

00:35:55This is a huge mental game here.

00:35:57This is bigger than just a game, and it seems like it is getting to Barstool early.

00:36:01Very defensive game, James.

00:36:03I would let this kid shoot all day.

00:36:04James, not a fan of the Jetski.

00:36:07He is all over the place, yeah.

00:36:09Oh, he takes it. Nails it.

00:36:11Yeah. That was in my face, too.

00:36:12Big three there. Seven-nothing.

00:36:15Gotta score, James.

00:36:17Kurt kind of looks over his shoulder and he's like,

00:36:18where's Kevin? Where's Kevin?

00:36:20Get him in the game. I want him in the game.

00:36:21Munt down low. Great cut from Kevin.

00:36:25Beautiful. Kevin just fitting.

00:36:28First set of money gets the first one.

00:36:30He's playing really hard.

00:36:31First basket and a great pass there from Matt.

00:36:35He's a little gashed right now.

00:36:37There were a few rebounds we got, a few putbacks.

00:36:40They made me feel really good about our chances.

00:36:41Be like, man, we're just better here.

00:36:44Here we go.

00:36:44Mulcahy. He's really kind of orchestrated

00:36:47a lot of their offense here on the flip side.

00:36:49You can feel the intensity, Josh.

00:36:50Good take there.

00:36:51Little middie gets it.

00:36:52That's too easy.

00:36:53Mulcahy.

00:36:53Hey, watch here. Watch here.

00:36:56Rico read it like a book and nails the three.

00:37:00Wow.

00:37:01And he just high-fived the ref.

00:37:05Time out Team KMS.

00:37:06That's a hustle play by Rico.

00:37:08Caught them sleeping.

00:37:09Rico turned around and high-fived me after a three.

00:37:12Another ref might have thrown him at that point from the game.

00:37:14It was a great play by him and a great three.

00:37:16So I let it slide.

00:37:17Rico was hot.

00:37:18That was, you know, Clemmer's fault for not putting Rico back in.

00:37:22And I think he might have made a difference.

00:37:24And here we go, Josh.

00:37:25Oh, boy.

00:37:27Checks in.

00:37:28Number 12, Gus.

00:37:30I'll be watching Gus closely here.

00:37:32Yes.

00:37:32See, Bosco not on the floor.

00:37:34Just want to point that out.

00:37:35So I came out for a minute.

00:37:36I was like, I'm not getting hurt.

00:37:38Also, if they put him on the court for a long period of time,

00:37:40that's their own fault.

00:37:41He sucks.

00:37:41We got up to a 15-2 or 15-4 run.

00:37:43We're not playing great offensively.

00:37:44We're playing really well defensively.

00:37:46But you have a guy like on KMSL, like Matt from Providence,

00:37:49starts shooting some baskets and starts making some stuff.

00:37:52It is now an eight-point deficit here for Team KMS.

00:37:55Oh, that's a...

00:37:56Oh!

00:37:56Got to be an offensive foul.

00:37:59Offensive foul!

00:38:00And it's going!

00:38:01Yes!

00:38:03Drawing an offensive foul from Okae.

00:38:06He is confused.

00:38:07That's what Gus does.

00:38:08That's what Gus does.

00:38:09He put his two arms out and just drilled them in the chest.

00:38:11We start to freeze up.

00:38:12And then we start to maybe run out of gas.

00:38:15He's going to take them here.

00:38:16Yeah.

00:38:16That's good defense.

00:38:17Good defense.

00:38:18There we go.

00:38:18Great defense from Kirk.

00:38:19Pat, I would say that he's better at eating pussy than he is at layups.

00:38:25That last four minutes of the half really started to crumble a little bit.

00:38:31Then when Matt from Providence hit the fucking buzzer beater shot

00:38:3410 feet out of bounds after the whistle,

00:38:36like, I knew we were fucked when we came back out.

00:38:38Oh, he got it!

00:38:40He got it!

00:38:41If it counts, he got it off the backboard!

00:38:44Mulcahy in disbelief!

00:38:45Oh, Gus hitting the deck somehow!

00:38:49Pat from Barstool asking, saying, hey, there's no way!

00:38:53We know at least one of the refs is going to be crooked.

00:38:55One of the guys tried out for the team.

00:38:58He tried out for the team, and then he's a ref?

00:39:00That's fucking insane.

00:39:02That looked like he was good.

00:39:03Oh no!

00:39:03Let's go.

00:39:04He, jet ski, getting into it, Mick!

00:39:07As soon as, like, I pushed Kirk off of me, all the minute fans swore me.

00:39:11I felt like I had just been converged on.

00:39:12Instantly, you could see, like, in their eyes,

00:39:15if anyone lays a finger on Kirk's bald head, like, we are going to spill blood for him.

00:39:19You have to let the scuffles take place.

00:39:21If it gets out of hand and escalated, that's fine.

00:39:23I mean, I put myself in between, like, four of them.

00:39:26I got hands coming across my face, you know,

00:39:28but you have to let it play out because it's for contact.

00:39:31I feel like the call came in from up top.

00:39:50Someone pinged the refs and was like, all right,

00:39:52we got to make this a little bit more competitive.

00:39:54The one picture of me, like, arguing with the ref,

00:39:57and he's just like, hmm?

00:39:58Oh, I don't know.

00:39:59I'm Kirk's guy.

00:40:00No matter what was going to happen, it wasn't going to go our way.

00:40:02I'm a certified ref.

00:40:03I've been doing it for a long time,

00:40:05so we just try to make the game flow the right way.

00:40:06I thought we did a good job.

00:40:08They are rattled.

00:40:09They are absolutely rattled.

00:40:10KMS heads to the locker room here.

00:40:12Wow, James.

00:40:15What an ending to the half, Josh.

00:40:16My God.

00:40:17Crowd loves it.

00:40:26Guys, they are fucking disasters.

00:40:28We might as well just stay in the main game.

00:40:30Yeah.

00:40:31Yeah, right?

00:40:31Yeah, absolutely.

00:40:32You know, the vibe for us in game two is so different

00:40:34because we were playing for a guy we knew,

00:40:36a guy we were friends with, who had died.

00:40:38There was no way we were losing that game.

00:40:40I didn't care what the score was after five minutes,

00:40:42after 10 minutes, after 20 minutes.

00:40:44We are winning this game for cinema.

00:40:46All right, cinema on three.

00:40:47One, two, three.

00:40:47I really feel good about this team.

00:40:58And here they come again.

00:40:59This is more than a game.

00:41:00And the way these boys are playing, it just shows.

00:41:04Four point deficit for team KMS as they get the ball over to Kirk.

00:41:09Looking, Matt from Providence takes it.

00:41:11Matt is here, ladies and gentlemen, saying I can't hear you.

00:41:17Big shot, they're down one, 15 to 14.

00:41:20This place is going nuts.

00:41:21This is just not our night.

00:41:23This is not going to go our way.

00:41:26You have guys struggling to make layups, like Marty or Pat.

00:41:29Like, those are easy layups.

00:41:30We seem to make a million times before.

00:41:32We got rattled and we took our foot off the gas.

00:41:35We never really found ourselves offensively after that.

00:41:39Fired up, transition, Pat.

00:41:41Oh, pushing Mutt.

00:41:43Travel, wow.

00:41:44Traveling violation.

00:41:46Pat, not happy, he's clapping at the ref.

00:41:48Yeah, no space.

00:41:49Some type of offense.

00:41:50Bean bag, great defense.

00:41:52Oh, that's a travel.

00:41:52Oh, traveling violation.

00:41:55He cannot figure it out.

00:41:57Having been down 13 and really not feeling out of it,

00:42:02knowing that our shot was going to come back,

00:42:05the moments kept coming together correctly.

00:42:07Double-teamed back to Mutt.

00:42:08Mutt's had some good looks.

00:42:10Oh, Kirk gets the wide open look.

00:42:12Now's it.

00:42:12Captain Kirk says, I can't hear you.

00:42:14Get up.

00:42:15Let's go.

00:42:16Minifans, get up.

00:42:18Looking for the leak and he gets it.

00:42:19Tied up here in Berlin.

00:42:22Kirk says, come on.

00:42:23I mean, they are in this team's head.

00:42:26Onto the shot.

00:42:26Matt, middie, gets it off the bounce.

00:42:30Matt from Providence.

00:42:32You can easily tell Matt from Providence,

00:42:33this new player was like, the guy.

00:42:35Our Zone did a bad job of covering him.

00:42:37Obviously, you have a coach who doesn't even know

00:42:39really what those are and can't really decipher

00:42:42in a game situation of what to do.

00:42:44Here we go.

00:42:45Can't let the emotions get too high.

00:42:48Barstow, New York, driving there.

00:42:49Oh, great defense.

00:42:52Look at this.

00:42:52Oh, they're shoving each other.

00:42:53Mulcahy and Matt.

00:42:57Nick Mulcahy, basketball IQ high.

00:42:59Ability to shut out the crowd and to not get rattled is low.

00:43:03It's going on to the floor.

00:43:14Completely went nuts.

00:43:18You can kind of tell that, you know, Nick was there with us.

00:43:22We couldn't hit layups.

00:43:23We couldn't hit free throws.

00:43:24We couldn't hit jump shots.

00:43:25And everything was kind of falling in their favor.

00:43:28Matt has played every minute, by the way.

00:43:30Steve inbound and still over to Rico.

00:43:32He can shoot it.

00:43:33He nails the three.

00:43:35He says, look at it.

00:43:37He's all fired.

00:43:37A noise from the team KMS and their fans.

00:43:40Off the mark.

00:43:41Rebound, Matt.

00:43:44Over to Patrick Ford.

00:43:45Askin, you shall never see.

00:43:47Hey, rebound.

00:43:48Be back, run.

00:43:50Be back, run.

00:43:51Great play.

00:43:52Over to John and Warren.

00:43:54Yes.

00:43:55And it crashes in.

00:43:58Barstool, New York looks stunned.

00:44:01Driving.

00:44:01Driving takes it.

00:44:02Can't.

00:44:03Gets his own rebound.

00:44:05Foul.

00:44:05Gets it.

00:44:06And one.

00:44:07Matt from Providence.

00:44:09Josh, what an atmosphere here, man.

00:44:10This place is loud, dude.

00:44:12So many minutes.

00:44:13Can he hit it?

00:44:14Lefty.

00:44:15Nails it.

00:44:16Oh, there you go.

00:44:16Can't give this team second chances here.

00:44:18Maybe that's when he needed off the back.

00:44:20Three point game, Josh.

00:44:23Three point game.

00:44:24Patrick, a little.

00:44:25Oh, he gets it.

00:44:26Time out Clemmer.

00:44:27Yeah, he's good shots.

00:44:29Clemmer didn't say a word to us.

00:44:30Keep doing what you're doing.

00:44:31You know, you have Rico on the bench.

00:44:32There wasn't a real cohesive nature as far as who's capable of what.

00:44:36So it's like, all right, well then, how often do I use Rico here?

00:44:39Rico also told me before the game he didn't want to play a ton.

00:44:42If they wrote a movie about, in the beginning, like sports movies for kids,

00:44:45the team that has no chance and then wills their way to a championship at the end,

00:44:49that's kind of what they are.

00:44:52John's going to be shooting these.

00:44:53Still in one possession if he hits it.

00:44:55And he does it.

00:44:56John and Warren ice in his veins.

00:44:59Go clean.

00:45:00Got to get out on Marty.

00:45:01Block winning.

00:45:01Got to get out on Marty.

00:45:02Marty dribbling over to Chetsky.

00:45:04Oh, wow.

00:45:05That could have been a travel too.

00:45:06Oh, do not give him the shot.

00:45:07Pass back to Marty.

00:45:08He hasn't hit it all game.

00:45:09Off the mark.

00:45:10Rebound.

00:45:11Matt.

00:45:14And it looks like the dagger to the heart of New York City has punctured the wound.

00:45:23Nails it.

00:45:24Four points.

00:45:25Kirk, very happy.

00:45:30The crowd fired up.

00:45:31This is unbelievable, Josh.

00:45:33This is just goosebumps.

00:45:34Rico takes the three.

00:45:36Air pulse.

00:45:38I just immediately started choking up a little bit, you know.

00:45:41Game over.

00:45:43Barstool New York is stunned.

00:45:45Stunned.

00:45:49What a moment.

00:45:50Kirk running around.

00:45:52For cinema.

00:45:54Wow.

00:45:56Everybody fired up here.

00:45:59This is what it's all about, Josh.

00:46:02The celebration was great.

00:46:03Kirk running around, going over to my family.

00:46:06My kids were there.

00:46:06My wife.

00:46:07My kids are crying.

00:46:08My wife's crying.

00:46:09Kirk holds me and my father's arms up to the crowd.

00:46:12It was just bigger than basketball, as you've said.

00:46:15Cinema lords.

00:46:16Yeah.

00:46:16Cinema lords.

00:46:18Cinema lords.

00:46:18I'm just going to let that.

00:46:19Everyone can hear that, man.

00:46:20Cinema lords.

00:46:21Cinema lords.

00:46:22What a moment.

00:46:24And it was just a surreal moment.

00:46:26And I'll never forget it.

00:46:28I will never forget it.

00:46:29And neither will my family.

00:46:32This has got to be up there.

00:46:33One of the greatest moments in KMS history, man.

00:46:35One of the wildest weeks.

00:46:36This team couldn't have come together any better.

00:46:39From start to finish, they were all united.

00:46:42Both teams showing a little bit of gratitude again.

00:46:44Bigger than basketball.

00:46:45Respect to Team New York, man.

00:46:47The unfortunate thing is, it is 1-1.

00:46:49No.

00:46:50No.

00:46:50No, Marty.

00:46:50No.

00:46:51So the game ends.

00:46:53They win.

00:46:54They're running around the court like they literally have won the NBA finals.

00:46:58I went up to Kirk after.

00:47:00I was like, just want to let you know, like, usually when teams go 1-1, there's a grudge match.

00:47:06He goes, absolutely not.

00:47:08One of your players has to die for me to play a third game.

00:47:11I'm retired.

00:47:13I'm retired.

00:47:14I think, no, I'm retired.

00:47:15I'm retired.

00:47:16I stood there thinking I'm never going to be able to top this.

00:47:18So walking away, it seemed like the right move.

00:47:25Why would I ever play a game again?

00:47:26I understand.

00:47:2750 years, like, this was, this was not, they were side characters last night.

00:47:31This was a KMS game for cinema.

00:47:32I am never playing a game again.

00:47:34After the second game we lost, you can see Clemmer smile.

00:47:38He was smiling after we lost.

00:47:40It was like, what are we talking about here?

00:47:43I'll just say he was happy we won last night.

00:47:45Yeah.

00:47:46I'll leave it at that.

00:47:46People can come to their own conclusions.

00:47:49You know?

00:47:49I don't know.

00:47:50I retired from NYC coaching them on the right home.

00:47:53And he was like, I'm good.

00:47:55That's, that's it.

00:47:56We're never going to play again.

00:47:57I'll never coach again.

00:47:59Next morning, Kurt calls me, asks about a recap of the game.

00:48:01We're just calling to make sure you're okay.

00:48:03We saw you resigned last night.

00:48:05I did.

00:48:06I realized the game, you know, passed me by.

00:48:09Not a great job coaching by me.

00:48:11And he asked me, do you want to be GM of this team?

00:48:13Will you accept a role with us?

00:48:15As a GM?

00:48:16Yeah, GM consultant.

00:48:18Oh, sure.

00:48:19Yeah, I'll do that.

00:48:19Wow.

00:48:20That's breaking news.

00:48:20Here we go.

00:48:21This motherfucker agrees to be their GM 14 hours after us.

00:48:26And we never talked about him.

00:48:28He said he quit.

00:48:30But like, we didn't get to offer him to be our GM.

00:48:32He never talked to the team.

00:48:34He just accepted the position.

00:48:35I mean, you took a new job?

00:48:36Yeah, I mean, the one was offered to me.

00:48:38I mean, like, I don't think people want me to do.

00:48:40Old Chrissy Clemmer, the world's biggest scumbag.

00:48:44He saw an opportunity to jump ship to what he thought was a better situation,

00:48:49and he took it instantly.

00:48:50I don't think Barstow, New York, respected Chris Clemmer.

00:48:52Team KMS respects Chris Clemmer because he's part of the team.

00:48:55We respect each other.

00:48:56I think he's happy to be part of the team.

00:48:57Thrilling to be part of the team.

00:48:58How do I reckon help?

00:49:00Well, do you have any ideas?

00:49:01I know you said maybe if you re-practice or I was going to stay with these guys.

00:49:04I'll stay here till 9 o'clock. We haven't been doing that long.

00:49:06I'll stay away with the guys and work them out.

00:49:07Okay.

00:49:08How about if I can help?

00:49:11That's the big difference.

00:49:11He's now welcoming the family that respects him.

00:49:13He has found a home where he was born and, you know, where he's going to die probably.

00:49:18If you ask him, like, who he's thankful for in his life, Clemmer, it's Kirk Minahan.

00:49:22Kirk has given him a new life.

00:49:24You cut Clemmer, he bleeds KMS, right?

00:49:26Sir.

00:49:27I didn't take the GM job at KMS to fuck New York over or even to play New York.

00:49:32I would never coach against you guys.

00:49:34You're the GM against us.

00:49:36You're building a team to beat us.

00:49:38Well, are you guys playing again?

00:49:40You sound like you guys didn't want to play again.

00:49:42Of course, after the game, of course you're high.

00:49:44Of course we're playing again.

00:49:46You're playing again?

00:49:47Yes.

00:49:48And I got pissed off.

00:49:49I said, that's not going to happen.

00:49:51So from right there, I'm on a show.

00:49:53I said, you know who would be a great coach?

00:49:56Who's got the best eyeballs for basketball and great for talent?

00:50:01Dave Portnoy.

00:50:02I would like Dave to coach, I think, because one, we need someone that we listen to.

00:50:06I almost want to call him right now and be like, Dave, you've made $500 million in your life.

00:50:12How much would you need to coach one game?

00:50:15I think it's $500 million.

00:50:16I think we should call.

00:50:16I think it's double up.

00:50:19It would be tough to get that much revenue for one of these days.

00:50:21Should we call?

00:50:22No.

00:50:23I am just saying the hypothetical.

00:50:24Want me to text him?

00:50:25That's crazy.

00:50:26I texted Dave.

00:50:27I said, what would it take for us, for you to coach our basketball team?

00:50:32Oh, breaking news.

00:50:36Wow.

00:50:38New Barstool New York has just acquired their coach, Dave Portnoy.

00:50:44He said, yes, I will coach one game.

00:50:47That's good.

00:50:48Wow.

00:50:48That's how you go, boys.

00:50:50Wow.

00:50:51That's how you go.

00:50:52You go for the top.

00:50:53Fuck you, Clemmer.

00:50:54Our coach is going to fucking bring us to the promised land.

00:50:58I couldn't believe it was live on air.

00:51:00I couldn't believe he said yes.

00:51:01New York needed a fair shot.

00:51:03They were robbed by Clemmer, and I had to give him a fair shot.

00:51:07I mean, bringing in Dave as a coach completely changed the dynamic of the New York team.

00:51:09But first of all, they now have a personality, a guy they've built.

00:51:12The team has an identity.

00:51:14It's Dave.

00:51:14Once Dave jumps in, then it becomes like a challenge.

00:51:17I can't then back down because we're in the middle of this thing.

00:51:19Now that Dave is head coach, I think he changes the rivalry.

00:51:21He puts more chips on the table.

00:51:22You know, him and Kirk battle.

00:51:24Him and Clemmer go head to head.

00:51:25He knows me and Kirk used to be aligned.

00:51:27It just puts all the chips on the table and makes this game even more of a spectacle.

00:51:31This one's for the guys.

00:51:33I mean, this team's been challenged.

00:51:35Our greatness has been questioned.

00:51:36This win has been somehow attempted to be invalidated by these bitches,

00:51:41by these fatzos and freaks and homos and just like Jews.

00:51:46Just like enough.

00:51:47Am I right?

00:51:48I truly think that this third game, we're just a pawn in their game,

00:51:53and it's them two just to beat them.

00:51:55I have a bunch of demands, obviously,

00:51:57because we have all the power at this time.

00:51:58Obviously.

00:51:59Well, we have all the power because we won.

00:52:01We don't have to do this again.

00:52:02These other guys don't work for the company.

00:52:05I think $50,000 is a reasonable price for the team.

00:52:09If we win, I'll take $40,000 and then I'll spread the $10,000 among the other guys.

00:52:13I wanted the rosters frozen.

00:52:15I didn't want Dana playing.

00:52:16I didn't want Dave adding fucking Kevin Durant or something.

00:52:18This is the roster I played the last game.

00:52:20This is our roster.

00:52:21I wanted the referees to stay the same,

00:52:22which I think they still should because it's good content.

00:52:24I guarantee you two things.

00:52:25Number one, we're going to win.

00:52:25Number two, Rico's going to get hurt.

00:52:26Right.

00:52:27See, this will play well in court, Kurt.

00:52:30This will play well in court.

00:52:32Because you said it now three fucking times.

00:52:34Three fucking times.

00:52:35You're willing to fucking hurt me.

00:52:36That's low and you fucking know it, even for you.

00:52:39You do not fucking try to hurt someone on a basketball court.

00:52:41I mean, I can't be more confident than I am that I'm going to get into Rico's head already.

00:52:45I mean, I can break him in 30 seconds.

00:52:47So yeah, he's going to be taken out of this game.

00:52:49That's for sure.

00:52:49I would say, Rico, can you have a little sense of humor?

00:52:52I'm not going to try and hurt you, dummy.

00:52:53We're trying to have some fucking fun here.

00:52:54But you already did.

00:52:54You sent out that rolling fucking snack-caught scumbag last year and

00:52:59fucked me for the whole summer.

00:53:01The one bone I've broken in 37 years.

00:53:04That kid should not fucking play.

00:53:05He's a liar fucking ability.

00:53:07And you fucking know it.

00:53:08Me and Bosco are thick as thieves right now.

00:53:11Dave's his guy.

00:53:12Dave pays his salary.

00:53:13Rico would not make 30 cents anywhere else.

00:53:15I think Dave is a rider, yeah.

00:53:17I think Dave has had many opportunities to put me out on the street and has always kept

00:53:22it on because he knows, you know, deep down, I am ride or die for him.

00:53:26I might not always show it.

00:53:27I definitely could be a pain in the ass to him.

00:53:29But deep down, he's a top, top-tier rider.

00:53:31Dave, I'm on a no-tolerance physical, like, is that waived?

00:53:36Yeah, that'll be waived.

00:53:38Oh, oh, oh, no, oh, no.

00:53:40Dave as a head coach is interesting.

00:53:42I don't think he'll be the single practice.

00:53:44I'm not even sure he'll be at the game.

00:53:45I would not be surprised if he was on Zoom.

00:53:46Dave, what makes you think you're going to be that different than Clemmer?

00:53:49Like, putting pressure on guys?

00:53:51That's a tough question.

00:53:52I can't.

00:53:53I don't consider myself or fashion myself.

00:53:56I'm not the next Red Auerbach or I'm not, you know, Phil Jackson or anything.

00:54:02But I have eyes.

00:54:03Like, I've seen enough games to know, hey, Bosco's the only guy who's hitting the rim or

00:54:08hitting shots consistently.

00:54:09Maybe let him shoot more.

00:54:11We're going to play harder for Dave than we even thought was humanly possible to play for Clemmer.

00:54:18We have a vocal coach.

00:54:20We have a coach who knows basketball.

00:54:22We have a coach who's not afraid to make adjustments on the fly.

00:54:26If something's not working, switch it up.

00:54:28I think Dave is going to call plays and call timeouts, sit people.

00:54:31I think he's actually going to take it very seriously.

00:54:33Clemmer was so bad that just having somebody with a pulse and wants to win should make a big difference.

00:54:39Last night, we're walking out after our matches and Clemmer is talking to Dave and

00:54:47talking about the Pick Central show they do.

00:54:49And Dave's like, oh, it's a monster show.

00:54:52And Clemmer's like, oh, thanks.

00:54:53He's like, oh, by the way, my contract's up July 15th.

00:54:55Do you want to talk about that?

00:54:56Dave said, let's wait till after the basketball game.

00:54:59Oh, fuck.

00:55:01What is he implying? Did I throw the game to get a contract?

00:55:04Why would Dave resign me if I threw a game?

00:55:06Why would you resign someone like that?

00:55:07So that's not going to help me.

00:55:08So if anything just gives me fire to beat them by more,

00:55:11to be like, you can't let me go now.

00:55:12So no, that has zero, zero impact in how I'm going to do in the NBA

00:55:17except for just to try to win by more.

00:55:18I'm embracing Clemmer right now.

00:55:21We have a long, complicated history,

00:55:22but this would be a great moment for Clemmer to finally pick up a win.

00:55:26And by the way, I'll announce this as well now.

00:55:28I hope you're okay with this.

00:55:29Well, actually, I have something to say to you, though, about that.

00:55:33I was honored, right?

00:55:34Kirk writes me, I need you to be the assistant coach on this team.

00:55:37I said, I really love the idea.

00:55:40I know you're going to make me go to practice.

00:55:42He said, one practice and on the bench at the game.

00:55:44I said, done.

00:55:45So I added Ryan Whitney as a chemistry guy.

00:55:47Flat-out chemistry, good vibes.

00:55:48Everyone likes wit.

00:55:49Huge KMS fan.

00:55:50Let's go, boys.

00:55:52Fuck Barstool, New York.

00:55:53Pure vibes, pure chemistry.

00:55:55100% approval rating on the team.

00:55:57This game, like last game, we're like, oh, we love cinema.

00:55:59We're going to try to keep it classy.

00:56:01If we need to fight, we'll fight in this game.

00:56:02I had no problem.

00:56:04We got no problem doing that.

00:56:05Well, after Clemmer left, someone tweeted to Gaz saying, oh, get Meek Phil should be a coach.

00:56:17And then Gaz tweeted out the Meek Phil signal.

00:56:20Once Dave got the head coaching gig, like he took something to offer,

00:56:23I was in his reply.

00:56:24I said, if you need an assistant, I'll be there.

00:56:26He said, I like it.

00:56:27Let's do it.

00:56:28So you know what?

00:56:29I'm an assistant coach now.

00:56:30Clemmer, Kirk, you're not going to know what's going to hit you.

00:56:32I'm going to have my boys ready to roll July 28th.

00:56:35Fuck you, Clemmer.

00:56:37I'm not really sure what Meek Phil, what his role is on the team,

00:56:40because I don't know what he knows.

00:56:41I think his job is there because Clemmer hates him.

00:56:44I chose Meek Phil because Meek Phil asked.

00:56:47So it had nothing to do with trying to get into Clemmer's head?

00:56:50No, why is there a Meek Phil-Clemmer rivalry?

00:56:52There's nothing I want to do more than crush that Benedict Arnold

00:56:56motherfucker on the basketball court.

00:56:58So I think Meek Phil's responsibilities is to be the liaison

00:57:02between what happens at practice and tell Dave.

00:57:05I've played CYO basketball, and I've been watching basketball

00:57:08for 20-plus years, so I know a decent amount.

00:57:10Meek does have like superhuman, almost neurodivergent ability

00:57:15to focus in on certain things.

00:57:17Baseball, OnlyFans girls, Twitter handles.

00:57:19Like, he knows certain things really well, and I think if he applied himself

00:57:23to pick up basketball schematics, he could be a great assistant coach,

00:57:27which he has been.

00:57:27He's put some plays in.

00:57:28This is a play I'm not sure if you're familiar with.

00:57:31Rick Carlisle ran at the end of the Eastern Conference Finals last year,

00:57:33got a game-tying shot.

00:57:35Inbounder there, and it's just four verticals.

00:57:39Really simple.

00:57:41We did start the practice off of Meek Phil doing a play of four verticals,

00:57:46and it was just a crazy inbound play.

00:57:48It's an interesting first play to learn to the team.

00:57:50It's just like a prayer play.

00:57:52Thought we'd run like a set or something in the half court.

00:57:55It seems like to be something where there's two seconds left for running this.

00:57:58But like, hey, that might happen.

00:58:00Meek knows best.

00:58:00Meek's my coach.

00:58:01I listen to my coach.

00:58:04The time is a flat circle because you're on the grill.

00:58:06I want to try this with actual defenders on the court.

00:58:09So, five interns.

00:58:13I need you to try to play defense back here.

00:58:15Boys, you ready?

00:58:16Fuck me.

00:58:21Bosco, I'm pulling you.

00:58:24Hubs, check in for Bosco and do what he did.

00:58:26Better.

00:58:27It's getting cold.

00:58:28It's a fucking...

00:58:31We have to run the play until we make a basket on him.

00:58:33They're running a fucking...

00:58:34What the fuck is this?

00:58:34Well, Bummer never did this.

00:58:37The most frustrating part about these practices is that Rico has so much basketball knowledge,

00:58:43but he's taking a back seat to Meek because he doesn't want to, like, upset the chain of command.

00:58:49It's like, Rico, be fucking vocal, dude.

00:58:52Rico and Phil have quite the history.

00:58:55And Phil is really good at getting under his skin as he is getting under anybody's skin.

00:59:02Phil, like, are you...

00:59:06I'm going to just walk out, Phil.

00:59:08I'm going to walk out.

00:59:09I'm going to walk out.

00:59:10You're a fucking piece of shit.

00:59:11Have a nice conversation.

00:59:12It's a piece of shit.

00:59:17Not a good shot, Rico.

00:59:19Pass the ball.

00:59:21Shit.

00:59:22Bosco, pass the fucking ball.

00:59:24It's all off the ball.

00:59:28Oh, shit.

00:59:29I never had it.

00:59:30My bad, home.

00:59:33Bosco, I'm killing the turnovers.

00:59:35He just loves to be like, I'm just doing my job.

00:59:37He loves to fucking get under your skin.

00:59:39But yeah, he's on the staff.

00:59:41You listen to the staff.

00:59:42I think Bosco's looking for his shot too much.

00:59:44Bosco shot too much?

00:59:46No, he's like, like, two or three of your looks were contested.

00:59:50I do want to try to distribute more.

00:59:53We need, like, high noon can, Rico.

00:59:59To be getting in our face, telling us what to do.

01:00:02Because that's a guy who we're going to listen to.

01:00:04And that's a guy who knows what he's doing.

01:00:16I tweaked my groin last practice.

01:00:17We're going so hard.

01:00:18Was that terrifying?

01:00:19Yes.

01:00:20Did I see the game and my ability to participate, perhaps compromised?

01:00:25Yes.

01:00:26Pat, you had the worst practice because you got hurt.

01:00:28There's definitely always injury worry and we're a month away.

01:00:31A lot can happen.

01:00:32We can't afford to have six guys and be playing full court

01:00:35and trying to push the ball like we want to.

01:00:37Like, we're going to need all seven guys that can contribute

01:00:39and give it every little ounce they have.

01:00:43You're all better than Ken Jack.

01:00:44How about that?

01:00:44Because he actually showed up.

01:00:47Yeah, that's true.

01:00:48So, I like this group.

01:00:50I like this team.

01:00:51I think we crushed Kirk.

01:00:52Like I said, Pat, you had the worst practice.

01:00:54You got hurt.

01:00:54Don't do anything until July 28th.

01:00:56I want you in fucking bubble wrap.

01:00:57I don't want you fucking, I don't want you anything with that groin.

01:01:00That's fair.

01:01:01New York on three.

01:01:02One, two, three.

01:01:03New York.

01:01:05So, at practice, I noticed Ken Jack wasn't there

01:01:08and I heard he wasn't at the previous one.

01:01:09My flight had been scheduled to depart on Monday

01:01:12and I had to shoot, edit, produce.

01:01:14So, I had to do all that and then make my flight

01:01:16and I just couldn't weasel in time for it.

01:01:18And so, I missed that one.

01:01:20And then there was on Monday, I was out of town,

01:01:24just couldn't make it to the practicing time.

01:01:25So, I called Dave yesterday.

01:01:30Hello?

01:01:31Uh, coach, we have, um, I have something to tell you about the basketball team.

01:01:34Hello, Phil.

01:01:35Coach, you're still.

01:01:37Yeah, go ahead.

01:01:38So, um, practice I thought went really good yesterday.

01:01:41There's just one note I want to make.

01:01:43Uh, Ken Jack has missed the last two practices

01:01:46and I don't think he's committed to the team

01:01:48and I think we should just cut him off the roster.

01:01:53How many guys we got?

01:01:54We have, he's, without him it would be a seven-man rotation.

01:02:00Without him it would be seven?

01:02:02Yeah.

01:02:04All right, let's cut him.

01:02:06Sounds good.

01:02:07All right, bye.

01:02:11All right, Ken Jack.

01:02:12Got to come to practice if you want to show up.

01:02:14You got eight guys.

01:02:15Why would you get rid of something?

01:02:16Meek Phil called me and he asked.

01:02:18He said, this guy skipped practice.

01:02:19Twice, I heard.

01:02:20Twice.

01:02:21Can I get rid of him?

01:02:22He's not showing what we need in this team.

01:02:24I said, sure.

01:02:25It's tough, uh, because in my mind I don't see the reasoning behind it.

01:02:30Cutting me gains nothing.

01:02:32You lose something.

01:02:33You lose at least someone there supporting and helping.

01:02:35And again, I was ferrying people back between this.

01:02:38You're losing something, but gaining nothing.

01:02:40The best ability is availability and you were not available.

01:02:43So, um, enjoy the summer.

01:02:48Sometimes you gotta make tough calls.

01:02:49That's what it is.

01:02:50It is a perfect Meek Phil thing to do, though, to immediately call Dave and then cut Ken Jack.

01:02:56So, we're getting the full Meek Phil experience.

01:02:58I didn't know he was getting cut.

01:03:00All of a sudden, I saw a graphic that we cut our guy and now we only have seven players.

01:03:04And also, one of our players did get hurt.

01:03:07And an important player, and I'm not sure how he's doing right now.

01:03:10So, we might have six.

01:03:12Yeah, I mean, we had a big injury.

01:03:37It's gonna be tough.

01:03:38Yeah, it's gonna be tough.

01:03:39But you can't, I mean, you can't like that injury either.

01:03:43No, I agree.

01:03:44I agree.

01:03:45I'm open.

01:03:45I mean, I'd be open to like, honestly, like, try to figure something out.

01:03:49Not Pat Beverly, but something to make.

01:03:51What about Dana?

01:03:53Here's my proposal.

01:03:55You know, I like Dana.

01:03:57Dana plays.

01:03:58I get my refs.

01:04:02Deal.

01:04:03Deal.

01:04:04Deal.

01:04:05Okay.

01:04:05Done.

01:04:06Fine.

01:04:06Fine by me.

01:04:09We're on offense right now, right?

01:04:11Full court.

01:04:11We're on offense right now.

01:04:13Okay?

01:04:14Right?

01:04:14So, what happens if we miss?

01:04:15We get the rebound.

01:04:15What are we doing?

01:04:16We're hauling ass down there.

01:04:17Hauling ass down there.

01:04:19And fighting your guy and setting up, right?

01:04:21That's it.

01:04:21Does that make sense, Clemmer?

01:04:22Absolutely.

01:04:23I don't want to add anything to this.

01:04:24Are you here for any reason?

01:04:25I am.

01:04:26I just walked back in.

01:04:27I'm here to help.

01:04:28How came from where?

01:04:29I just, uh, did.

01:04:31What were you doing?

01:04:32They were asking me questions.

01:04:33I've never seen intensity like this.

01:04:44I've seen NHL teams getting ready for the playoffs practice.

01:04:48And then I've seen the KMS basketball team.

01:04:50They got this guy, Matt, from Providence.

01:04:52He's a monster.

01:04:53He can shoot.

01:04:54They got this guy, Beanbag Ron, running around.

01:04:57Good job, Ron.

01:04:58That's it, Ron.

01:04:59Nice look.

01:05:00The game is now in the past.

01:05:01It's a great win.

01:05:02We won that game for Sinema.

01:05:04We're still playing for him.

01:05:05But this game, now we're playing for ourselves.

01:05:07We beat them by 17 points in 75% of the game.

01:05:11And they think they're better than us.

01:05:12And we didn't play very well.

01:05:14Now we can prove to them, and we're done.

01:05:16We beat them again, which we're going to do.

01:05:17We're going to beat them by much more than we did a month ago.

01:05:19I think they can try and mix things up.

01:05:20But again, they have seven guys on this team.

01:05:22So they're limiting what they can do.

01:05:25You know, they'll play some man, but they're going to play some zone again.

01:05:28So we just need to play harder and smarter.

01:05:30Sinema on three.

01:05:30One, two, three.

01:05:31Sinema!

01:05:32Good job, guys.

01:05:34New York's going to win game three.

01:05:36I think we'll win by double digits.

01:05:38If we win, there will hopefully be a picture of me and Dave embracing on the sidelines,

01:05:43much like Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan, down in the basement in a big, prominent spot.

01:05:48No more excuses.

01:05:49If we win this game, you've got to give us respect.

01:05:51We've been shit on enough.

01:05:52Now it's time to say, no, this is who we are.

01:05:54We're going to punch you in the mouth again, and we're going to beat you again.

01:05:57Let me tell you, New York office, we need a win.

01:05:59We need a win in the worst way.

01:06:01If we go 15-2, we're not blowing this game again.

01:06:04I don't think they have a scorer that can beat us one-on-one.

01:06:07I don't think they're just a very good team in general.

01:06:08Team New York thinks we're a joke.

01:06:10Team New York thinks it was a fluke.

01:06:12And I think we're trying to prove that it was not a random win, that we are a better team than Barstow, New York.

01:06:17There's a fucking ton at stake here now with Dave involved.

01:06:20I would say pride's at stake.

01:06:21Everything's at stake.

01:06:22You've got to play like it's the last day on Earth.

01:06:24Egos are high.

01:06:25Emotions are high.

01:06:26Everything's high.

01:06:27And yeah, some of these guys have quit.

01:06:29They've been fired.

01:06:29They come back.

01:06:30We fight.

01:06:31They come back.

01:06:31But they know, you know, I love every guy on this team.

01:06:34They drive me crazy, but I would do anything for them.

01:06:37These guys playing for a cash prize, I don't know what's going to happen.

01:06:41Because the rivalry just got way more serious with the cash prize on the line.

01:06:46The crowd is going to be nuts.

01:06:47Kirk's crowd always is.

01:06:48Barstow, New York, their fans are going to show up more than they have because this is a rubber match.

01:06:52I think it's going to be wild.

01:06:53It's going to be fucking wild.

01:06:54Dave's on board.

01:06:55Whitney's on board.

01:06:55You look at all the people coming into this little world of basketball, it means a ton.

01:07:00So the rivalry is fully on.

01:07:01If they lose this game after talking all this shit of asking for a rematch, of getting Dave involved,

01:07:06and they lose again, that sucks for them.

01:07:09Now they're angry.

01:07:10They have Dave.

01:07:11Now I think this will be the chippiest game of all.

01:07:13This game, I think, is going to be ugly.

01:07:15I expect a brawl in this game.

01:07:17This game is about Dave Portnoy versus Kirk Minahan.

01:07:21I'm a soldier in this game, and I will put a knife through that team to win for Dave.

01:07:26And this game three is going to be an absolute war.

01:07:29I mean, Dave would not jump in if I wasn't on this team.

01:07:31That's a fact.

01:07:33And I then wanted to play because he was in it.

01:07:35So ultimately, it's going to come down to me versus Dave.

01:07:38So yeah, I think everyone's kind of on our board.

01:07:40And Dave's going to try and fuck with my team.

01:07:42I'm going to try and fuck with his team.

01:07:43So ultimately, whoever wins that battle wins the game.
