I’m not doing an official episode of my Strangers podcast this week, because my wife and I are on a ski trip and I sat in as a guest with the Celtics Reddit Podcast last night - so instead, please enjoy this video of my wife trying to guess the names of the Celtic players.  Keep in mind, I’m a completely obsessed Celtic fan who watches every single game on the couch while she sits next to me playing candy crush... and she’s been to multiple Celtic games in person.  You’d think she’d know their names right?  Let’s see:

My wife would guess “Rondo” for everybody, I think. On the current team, she probably knows that there’s a player named Kyrie, but she couldn’t pick him out of a lineup.

Historically, I’m confident she could identify Bird and Shaq. She knows Pierce, KG, Rondo and McHale exist. Other than that, I’m skeptical.

This is fake news.. "sometimes the passer doesn't shoot so good". He's like as close as 6"10 dudes get to 40/50/90.

My wife hates the Celtics. Rather she hates my obsession with them.

My daughter, however, knows every single player, and followed the team even while studying her fellowship in China last year.

I trained her well.

When my GF and I first started dating, she watched a Raider game with me. When I asked her about it, she said, "Everyone dresses up like it's Halloween."

Lol

Lol this is good. My fiancé did not grow up in the US, so she took a liking to the Celtics because basketball was still a novelty when we started dating. She loved Isaiah when he had his breakout year.

I think she knows Kyrie, Gordon, and of course Brad!

TP LarBrd. Watching Celtics games is a hurdle I have yet to correctly jump over in relationships. I either get too quiet or too loud. I honestly prefer to watch games alone so I can think about the game and see the entire floor. It is not a great habit for date nights lol

I died at "the guy with the bad hair that makes winning plays" and "that's the guy with the awesome hair that never moves... he also has a lot of daughters" ;D

Also, I caught the "That's Jaylen Brown, he's a future star (potentially)." I will whip (a clipped version of) this quote out every time you call him a future solid bench player.

That’s a self portrait my wife made of herself as a logo when she ran a cake business.

I wonder if LarBrd's wife pulls his ear every time he calls Brown a solid bench player lol

My wife knows every single Celtics player, and a good deal of the rest of the league too!!!

... I really hope I meet her soon. I'm a bit lonely these days.

Have to give my ex wife her propers, as she knew who the Celtics were by sight and who was good and who sucked when they played. My poor ex wife. She had three brothers and a dad who were crazy Boston sports fans. Then the poor woman married me, a sport nut, and had three sons who love everything sports.
