TFO #296: What Would You Do If I Was Over Right Now?

Keenan

Carl was right bout KAT being gone in the off-season

Orlando Bones

Never read the comments. It’s so much healthier and positive than I imagined I like this show and don’t mind that they have a chattier approach. Maybe fewer paraphrases of what anonymous freaks say on the internet. Plenty of pro commenters worth taking down

Ew Narsty

Dallas fans thinking the Flagrant Ones are too whiny, idk y'all

Mark Andrew

They are easily the two coolest Boston fans ever but they are still Boston fans—they have to do this.

Mark Andrew

Agree ppl are very very weird

slimthiccyaddle

Damn think I might actually be done with the pod. Shit is just a whiny bummer now.

Mark Andrew

The worst fanbase vs a top 5 worst fanbase. And these playoffs started w/so much promise to have a franchise that hasn’t won in recency to get a ring. Oh well at least the Flagrant Ones is a funny podcast. Thx fellas! (v weird reading the comments yikes!)

Alex Dalir

Kyrie is not a villain unless you are a supporter of the genocidal Zionist regime. Luka sucks and I want both teams to lose the finals. Never Celtics.

Richard Murphy

this podcast used to have jokes! it used to be funny! it used to be more than an airing of grievances! what happened to the pod that i loved???

Kevin Potter

I deleted a bunch of other comments about Carl calling Dallas fans fucking assholes and whatnot because apparently Kyrie and Luka are listeners and they use it as fuel like Kendrick uses Drake diss tracks. I honestly do wish Carl understood that nobody is trying to convince him to like Luka. We’d love to convince him to be funny or talk about actual basketball games and not just his interaction with the 10% of any group of fans / people that are idiots - which he can’t figure out how to block for some reason? We get it Draymond, you hate Rudy, it’s not fun to listen to you go on and on about it.

Andrew Doerfler

Basically agree in theory with Hayes' Celtics as heroes argument but as a Sixers fan I can't get there, especially after Horford's Philly stint. So I'm just rooting for close fun games.

Antonio Whitehead

This is one of the first times I've read the comments here and it's like stepping into The Twilight Zone lmao. I thought this episode was fun! The bit that the episode title comes from was an all-timer!!

Andrew Carlon

*every single week now

Andrew Carlon

Carl doesn’t even watch the nba lol

Logan Axberg

Salt and vinegar chips don’t have vinegar, it’s just citric acid

Hailing from Smakamuthafukka, WI

The irony is thick in these comments

James Macek

Unashamedly a massive Luka fan by blood, and everyone I know who hates him and the Mavs are hoping Luka destroys Tatum. Hayes has his work cut out for him re The Reclamation.

JayK

I mean they spent an hour whining about the NBA and saying they were going to stop watching - so legally we are allowed one hour to do the same about the NBA podcast

Conor Sullivan

Wow people are very salty about their imaginary friends’ bball takes around here

Rocco

I came to leave a comment about why I don’t like Jason Tatum but after reading all of these other comments, I’ve decided that I like him now because he’s presumably never complained about a podcast.

Kemp Pettyjohn

This podcast is such a bummer now. You are three extremely funny men! The NBA is fun! It doesn’t have to be like this!

MC Cresher

37:08 Definitely not true about Horford's stint on the sixers lol.

Max W

They need Kelsey back!

mo burns

what happened to the show i love? no bits. no characters. no songs. just complaining and reheated simmons/russilo takes.

Joseph

Agreed. There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding that people generally don't hate the Boston players/teams, they hate Boston fans.

Steven Clifford

I'm just sad that Carl did a badass E40 impression and nobody picked up on it lol 😆

Andrew Kane

I’m sure it was because of the studio being booked or something, but pretty funny that Ref Kevin ended the episode as soon as they started being critical of Doris Burke.

Derek A Arnold

Exactly. How has no one realized everyone's whining about Luka's whining is way more tiresome than the initial bitching? Every star complains. I love Carl but I do wish the old head anti-euro thing was more bit than bias

Josh VanValkenburg

JayK

Boston fans love to do this so they can revel in their persecution complex when they win (which the Celtics will pretty easily in all likelihood). Philly fans do this as well with 1/10th of the success. I hate Lakers fans but at least they know they’re obnoxious.

JayK

The Luka stuff is a little hyperbolic to me, he’s like what, 5% more whiny than Lebron on the court? It’s annoying to watch but by all accounts he seems like a nice guy off the court and all the other players in the league seem to like him. They talk about him like he’s said/done some fucked shit off the court - which you can easily say about Ant or Kyrie who they praise (and I like both those guys!). If Luka released a video of him filming a bunch of gay guys and said “what’s the world coming to?” I don’t think they’d forget that

James Debo

I also have to disagree that he's likable. He's very pouty and doesn't seem to be affected emotionally whether they win or lose. It's like he took all the bad traits from his idol Kobe and left all the fun stuff on the table

James Debo

Wait Carl doesn't read these comments????

Paul Jacobson

hearing hayes say that people are giving the pacers credit for competing with boston and that boston are frauds or whatever has me convinced that one's social media feeds just show them the negative stuff about your team, because all i've been seeing is that the pacers run was fake because of the injuries (granted most of that is from bucks and knicks fans, boston fans/people that watched the series have been giving the pacers credit)

Jamie Jones

It is truly bizarre to listen to lifelong Boston sports fans seemingly bewildered to learn that people don't like Boston sports teams

gobiasChindustries

I just want to see the iconic statue of Luka taking a stepback three and whining to the refs before the ball even leaves his hands

Kevin Potter

Sammyfein

I am once asking you to tenderdize the ngnocchi

mo burns

carl: i haven't been watching also carl: *gives the hottest, most impassioned, wrongest take of the episode*

Travis Glidewell

Give the Clips a year or two and Carl will be begging to jump on a bandwagon with some optimism.

JayK

Al Horford ended TJ Fords career and Porzingis has his sexual assault case so there are legitimate reasons to hate the Celtics players. Also between this pod and BS I’ve been listening to Boston fans complain about people not liking their team enough for years now - ENOUGH!

Mike Smith

At first I wanted Boston to lose, but now I don't want Carl to lose his smile

pugilistatrest

As another Cavs fan, ainno fn way im typing out that last sentence.

Caleb Giordano

I remember when the Mavericks used to be Sean's favorite team, now all of a sudden he's a Celtics fan, man what happened?

JakeBasner

Sliding into Carl’s DM’s to try and convince him to be a Pistons fan so he can be as unhappy as me all basketball season

Henry Martyn

I'm a Cavs fan so I have a soft spot for Kyrie, but the idea of seeing Lucas dumb fat fucking face win a ring is making me dry heave. Go Celtics

Drew

Why I think people don’t like Tatum is that he’s never consistently the best player on his team. So people think his team success is because his teammates are just better and he gets bailed out from having bad games affect the outcome of most Celtics games.
