Coming up, we're talking basketball and we're talking some Celtics. Is it over? All next. We're also brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network. We put up a two-part Star Wars rewatchables on Monday. You can watch the whole thing on YouTube on Ringer Movies or you can watch this video podcast on Spotify. We're sticking with the 70s all month. I think that's what I've decided.
We're doing Death Wish on Monday, which is... Just an unbelievable movie with Charles Bronson. So that's coming Monday night. You have the whole weekend to watch it. I think it's on Pluto. It's on a couple of places. So Death Wish coming on Monday night. The Celtics might have a Death Wish. We're going to talk about that later with my dad.
He was at game one and game two and he gives us his in-person scouting report. Coming up first though, Big Waz, Joe House, we're back. We haven't had the three of us together on a podcast since our worst contracts draft, which I sent to the Pulitzer Committee. It didn't get picked, but we're going to talk about Golden State, Minnesota.
We're going to talk big picture, Denver, OKC, Cleveland, Indiana, Game 3, Celtics, Knicks. And that is all next. First, our friends from Pearl Jam. All right, we're recording this a little after 8 o'clock Pacific time. Big Waz is here. Joe House was supposed to be here. I think he sprained his MCL. He got injured. Somehow, anytime House is on any other podcast, his Zoom works.
And then when he's on mine and it's later at night, no Zoom. I'm just going to assume alcohol. That's where I've landed.
A lot of martinis for the big guy.
I'm not surprised by that. Well, he's got a big lottery coming up with the Wizards on Monday.
