The Celtics are a super young core and they will definitely be back in the Finals

It's like, they're super young and they're going to be back. And the position [Brad Stevens] is in... he is now going to be able to help the team get better through the front office. It's not drastic changes. Don't need to be made.

The Celtics did not return to the Finals in 2023 (lost in ECF), though they eventually returned and won in 2024. In the immediate aftermath, the 'no drastic changes' part was mostly true but they did trade for Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday later.

Will Zalatoris has to figure out his putting based on vibes

I actually afterwards said that Will Zalatoris has to figure out his putting... I do strokes gained by vibes. He missed a big putt. He, I would say he lost somewhere around $50,000 worth of strokes gained for me personally.

While Zalatoris had positive strokes gained putting for the tournament, his stroke is famously unconventional and 'twitchy,' leading to the common perception Big Cat is voicing.

I will bet Will Zalatoris for every Major until he finally wins one

I am now financially and emotionally attached to Will Zalatoris to a level that I will bet him significantly for every Major, until he wins one. And if he just becomes one of those guys that never wins one, well, my kids won't go to college.

Will Zalatoris did eventually win his first PGA Tour event (2022 St. Jude), but as of mid-2024, he still has not won a Major (though he has many top-10s).

The US Open should only be won by Americans

Not to be xenophobic, but the US Open should be won by an American. So as far as I'm concerned, Will Zalatoris is the champion.

The US Open is an open championship for all nationalities, but Big Cat is jokingly arguing for national exclusivity because he lost a bet.

I am rooting for the Dominican Republic over Team USA in the WBC because they are more electric

The Dominican team is electric and I like to be entertained when I'm watching sports. This tournament's for entertainment. I want to watch more games with the Dominican Republic team. I want more. I'm rooting for the USA correctly, but I respect the hell out of the Dominican team.

This is a subjective rooting interest.

I need to get into a car accident that totals my car so I have an excuse to buy a new one

I need to get in an accident that totals this car so that I have no choice but to get a new car. I want to get a sick car. That way I don't even have a choice.

Hank did not total his car in a planned accident shortly after this.

The altitude on airplanes causes people to cry during movies

I was tearing up [at the F1 movie]. It's the altitude. The altitude. I didn't even like the movie that much, but the end got me and they like, oh, it's 'cause you were on a plane. That's a thing.

There is scientific evidence suggesting that low air pressure and lower oxygen levels at high altitudes can affect mood and emotional regulation.
