The Celtics are off to another hot start, but Shamrock talk not so much. As forewarned travel plans for both Jake and Mom have stifled us out of the gate this season. That being said we found time to sit down and chat about the first four games of this season. Mom will be in Europe next week, so we will not be hitting to our weekly scheduled broadcasts for a couple more weeks, but we will get there!Additionally, we recorded an in-person episode after opening night, but it was never posted due to Jake's move back to Argentina, but we added it at the end for anyone who is pining for more Shamrock Talk.
The leaves are falling and the regular season is speeding towards us. We. Are. Back. Season 3 of Shamrock Talk is here and its going to be bigger and better than ever.

The plan is to record Sunday afternoons and have the pod out one Monday mornings. The internet's #1 mother-son Celtics podcast is back!

Well I just found out there was an error uploading our last episode and it never posted. We're a real professional production here. Well we're back anyway to go over the Celtics splitting the first two games with the Sixers!
I'm just going to start giving these morning generic names so people know what to look for. We discuss the Celtics Game 4 win and look at what may lie ahead. We also touch on what's going on around the NBA Playoffs and Ime's new gig.
The 2023 Celtics pulled one of their classic moves. As soon as they look unbeatable, they make sure to let you down. We discuss the Celtics Game 3 against the Hawks!
Well we promised you a podcast after each game. We lied. We discuss the Celtics 2-0 start against the Hawks and the playoffs around the NBA. The playoffs are officially here!

Jake is finally back in Boston, but Mom has left for Arizona. No agenda, no plan just Celtics!

Joe Scott joins us again as our first repeat guest to discuss the Celtics post All Star break run, his disdain for Grant Williams, and life as a father.

We apologize for the absence, but after a multi-week travel whirlwind we are back. We discuss the Celtics performances since our last podcast and well as the NBA trade deadline madness and aftermath. We will be back next week and back to our regulat scheduled program. Go Celtics!
The C's are back to their winning ways in the midst of an 8 game winning streak. We discuss the craziness of the win over the Warriors and the depth the Celtics have that is causing some players to get buried on the bench.
We are exactly at the halfway point of the Celtics regular season. We go over our preseason predictions to see where we stack up. We also discuss the debacle at Oklahoma City and Jake's love for the Kendrick Perkins broadcast.

After taking a week off for Thanksgiving, we have plenty of games to talk about. The season is just over a quarter of the way through and the Celtics have the best record in the NBA, is this team for real or is the other shoe eventually going to drop?
Mom is sick this week, but she is battle through injury just like the C's. We run through the slate of teams that were unfortunate enough to play the Celtics on Pritchard Appreciation Week.
It is the Karen's birthday edition of Shamrock Talk and the Celtics have gifted her with 4 wins in a row. We break down each game, including an in person birthday viewing. We also dive into our second edition of opponent of the week, the Malcolm Brogdon injury, and the NBA landscape.
This week we bring on our first guest of the year as Cody Lockhart joins Jake and Karen! We quickly cover the Wizards snoozefest before getting to the juicy two overtimes games against Cleveland. We also discuss the Nets and Ime Udoka fiasco.
After a week delay due to a number of excuses from Jake, we finally kick off the 2022-23 season. We give our takes on the Celtics first four games with our usual off-topic banter.
The 2022-23 season opener is less than a week away. We talk the Preseason so far and make our predictions for the Celtics and the league.
Ime Udoka did something and were not sure what, but it doesn't sound good. We make our return for the 22-23 season slightly earlier than expected to fan the flames. We also discuss the injuries to both Rob Williams and Danilo Gallinari.
We are back! After a quick recap of our Allstar Break predictions we are on to 2022-23. We discuss the uneventful draft, the free agency splashes and finally a full summer league and roster breakdown. the Shamrock Talk 22-23 Calendar has begun!
After 4 days of depression we finally pick up the mics to eulogize the 2021-22 Celtics season. But we are not ones to dwell on the past, we are on to the offseason and start to ponder the biggest question marks for the Celtics heading into the summer.
Well, this is it. The Celtics must win 2 games in a row or the Warriors are NBA Champions. After last nights performance we aren't overly enthusiastic about those chances.
The Celtics have taken a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals, but given the Celtics history this playoffs, we are still on edge about Game 4. We still can't believe the Celtics are here and the stress levels are only raising as the games go on.
Even two games in it feels surreal that we are in the Finals. What's the over/under on Draymond Green technicals the rest of the serie, like 5?
Recorded hours before Game 7 between the Celtics and Heat we give our thoughts on the last few games and trying to conjure up some luck before the do or die game tonight.
We are backing recording remotely after Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. We go through all three games and vent our frustrations with the Celtics Game 3 performance.
Its our first in person episode! Setting up cameras and microphones takes more work than you may think. We discuss the Celtics bounce-back game 2 and all of our in person podcast woes'
The Celtics drop Game 1 against the Bucks at the Garden. Jake tries to stop Mom from hitting the panic button after a frustrating offensive performance
We give a quick conference semifinals preview including some fan mail and "bold" predictions
It's official. The Boston Celtics have swept the Brooklyn Nets to advance to the second round. Remember when Kyrie left the Celtics, or when the Nets beat us in 5 last year, or when the Bucks and Sixers tanked their last games to avoid playing the Net? Well we do and oh boy does it make this feel good!
It's Saturday night, Jake is pouring drinks, and the Celtics take a 3-0 lead! Life doesn't get much better than this.
We're back! Jake has once again moved apartments and has been living without wifi. Meanwhile Marcus Smart is the defensive player of the year and the Celtics are up 2-0 on the Nets.

The Celtics sat Tatum and Horford against the Bucks, scheduled rest or deliberate loss to avoid the Nets? Now with only one game remaining on the Celtics schedule there are still a million different playoff scenarios and we can't seem to keep track. And why does the TNT broadcast keep showing Shaq's feet!?
We're staying in the kitchen and recording another episode. We recap the Celtics close loss to the Miami Heat as well as all the other recent wrinkles in the Celtics playoff picture.
After a dark day for Celtics nation, we are joined by our second guest in a row with Massachusetts CYO legend Joey Scott. What does the Celtics playoff lineup look like without Rob Williams? Should the Celtics drop games to avoid the Nets? Should you bet the over on Pistons wins next year? All your questions answered!
We cap the Celtics West Coast roadtrip with our first ever guest Connor Surro! We talk through the Celtics undefeated roadtrip, Scal and Perks broadcast performance, and how the Celts stack up in the log-jammed Eastern Conference

As the sun sets on Mom we discuss the Celtics loss to the Pistons, our lack of interest in All-Star weekend, and how we can catch up with JJ Redick's podcasting skills. We finish up with some rest of the year predictions.
The Celtics can't stop winning. I mean what do you want us to say, we just couldn't miss against the 76ers tonight. This is starting to remind me of the '58-'59 team.
Our producer (my Dad) wasn't here to set up mom's mic so shes using her iPad internal speakers, but the show must go on! In what could be our best episode yet we discuss the blow out of the short handed heat, the Celtics finally winning a close game, and our first ideas for merch.
We're back for more. Episode 2 features slightly less technical difficulties, an agenda-less Celtics discussion and a quick review of a Colombian beer. Only the highest quality insight from the Worlds #1 Mother-Son Celtics Podcast
It wasn't without its technical difficulties, but we finally recorded our long awaited first episode. Jake and Karen discuss the origins of the podcast, the Celtics annihilation of the Kings, and whats coming down the pipe for the Green.
