0:03
Speaker 2: He s marks amone on sevent tenor.
0:13
Speaker 3: Wow, beautiful sunny day to day and tomorrow we'll talk
0:17
Speaker 3: about the Knicks. We'll get to Elon Musk, we'll get
0:20
Speaker 3: to a Platner and a whole lot more. You know,
0:24
Speaker 3: this is going to be a parade, a big parade.
0:26
Speaker 3: It looks like it'll be Thursday morning.
0:28
Speaker 4: We're gonna be sure some additional details over the next
0:30
Speaker 4: few days, but it is going to be on Thursday.
0:32
Speaker 4: There's going to be a ceremony at City Hall. Then
0:34
Speaker 4: there's going to be a ticker tape parade the first
0:37
Speaker 4: time in Knick's history, and we're also going to be
0:39
Speaker 4: presenting keys to the city to the team.
0:41
Speaker 3: It's the Canyon of Heroes. They always say, down the
0:43
Speaker 3: Canyon Heroes. That actually goes up. It heads uptown. It
0:47
Speaker 3: starts at the bottom and heads up to City Hall.
0:50
Speaker 3: Do you know that the Knicks, each player will get
0:53
Speaker 3: a bonus for winning the championship. You know how much
0:56
Speaker 3: the bonus is? Seven hundred and seventy thousand. Each player
1:01
Speaker 3: gets almost a million dollars three quarters of a million
1:05
Speaker 3: dollars as a bonus. President Trump described the next championship
1:10
Speaker 3: run as maybe the greatest of all time. Sent them
1:14
Speaker 3: a great message. Now, of course you had some mayhem afterwards.
1:19
Speaker 3: In the Times Square area forty second Street down to
1:22
Speaker 3: Grand Central, sixty three people arrested, four stabbings, one shooting.
1:28
Speaker 3: But this was a pleasure compared to Chicago on a
1:32
Speaker 3: typical Saturday night. Ten members of the NYPD were injured,
1:38
Speaker 3: including one officer hit by a glass bottle. Was pretty
1:41
Speaker 3: ugly stuff. Now. Setting buses on fire over turning buses
1:46
Speaker 3: that kind of sleep were buses that were being used
1:49
Speaker 3: to transport World Cup soccer fans to MetLife Stadium. So
1:53
Speaker 3: you know, we got surveillance video over every inch of
1:55
Speaker 3: the street, and if you look at the video, you
1:58
Speaker 3: can clearly see the faces of the idiots doing this.
2:01
Speaker 3: So hopefully they will all be tracked down and arrested.
2:05
Speaker 3: One bus was completely torched after these maniacs lit pieces
2:09
Speaker 3: of clothing on fire and tossed it inside. Again, hopefully
2:13
Speaker 3: they'll find and track down every single one of them. Yesterday,
2:18
Speaker 3: the UFC fight last night at the White House, I'm
2:21
Speaker 3: looking people that were there posting video, Spectacular staging production,
2:27
Speaker 3: really really amazing, night and it went on for hours. Now,
2:32
Speaker 3: this is very upsetting to democrats and liberals. They never
2:35
Speaker 3: heard of UFC fighting. They don't know what it is,
2:38
Speaker 3: you know, especially the media types. They all live in
2:41
Speaker 3: the middle of Manhattan. They live in the middle of
2:43
Speaker 3: d C, the middle of Beverly Hills. They've never been
2:46
Speaker 3: to actual America. They don't know what a wah wah is. Seriously,
2:52
Speaker 3: they don't never heard of it. They don't know what
2:54
Speaker 3: the olive garden is. They've never been to one. They've
2:57
Speaker 3: never heard of it. Had no idea about normal America.
3:01
Speaker 3: They've heard of NASCAR, they don't know that anybody actually
3:04
Speaker 3: watches it. They don't imagine anybody actually goes to it.
3:09
Speaker 3: It's actually the number one spectator sport in America, NASCAR,
3:13
Speaker 3: but they don't They don't know about any of this stuff.
3:15
Speaker 3: So they certainly don't know anything about UFC fighting. They've
3:19
Speaker 3: never heard about it, and they thought this was disgusting.
3:23
Speaker 3: Look at this PBS. You know, they have a PBS
3:26
Speaker 3: News hour. You want to see some slanted you want
3:30
Speaker 3: to see some biased, slanted news one night, put on
3:33
Speaker 3: that PBS News Hour. It's on every night. So on Friday, Night,
3:37
Speaker 3: and they only have like the most left wing kooks.
3:40
Speaker 3: If they have anybody they call a republican, it's always
3:42
Speaker 3: like a New York Times republican, which means a left winger.
3:47
Speaker 3: It means it's a very biased left winger, says David Brooks,
3:51
Speaker 3: the real left wing New York Times columnist. Actually now
3:54
Speaker 3: he works for The Atlantic, which is the most biased
3:58
Speaker 3: left wing publication on earth. And then from MS now
4:02
Speaker 3: Jonathan k Part by the way, two very nice guys,
4:05
Speaker 3: but the most slanted left wing guys. So that's who
4:09
Speaker 3: they have on and they're denouncing UFC fighting and they
4:13
Speaker 3: said it chose the cultural decline. It's unconscionable. Now, all
4:19
Speaker 3: these people denouncing it. When Biden had that that trans
4:24
Speaker 3: those topless tranny people dancing all over the White House topless,
4:29
Speaker 3: and remember they painted the south of southern part of
4:32
Speaker 3: the White House. They painted it red, white and blue,
4:34
Speaker 3: and they painted the column. It was disgusting what they
4:38
Speaker 3: did to the White House. And these trans people, topless
4:42
Speaker 3: trans women or I guess there were women, I don't know,
4:45
Speaker 3: but topless dancing with Biden all over the White House lawn.
4:49
Speaker 3: I mean, you couldn't found anything more unpresidential than this
4:53
Speaker 3: whole thing. But you know, it's all these same people.
4:56
Speaker 3: David Brooks, Jonathan k part never mentioned it, never did it, never,
5:00
Speaker 3: never denounce it. But they said, this is the cultural
5:04
Speaker 3: decline of America. They said John F. Kennedy brought Robert Frost,
5:09
Speaker 3: Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein to the White House. He also
5:14
Speaker 3: brought Judith Exnerry. He brought the Marilyn Monroe into the
5:17
Speaker 3: back door. Remember Pixie and Dixie, the two hookers he
5:19
Speaker 3: had on staff who would swim with him in the pool.
5:24
Speaker 3: And now we have cage fighting. Don't say America's don't
5:28
Speaker 3: anybody say America's not in cultural decline. Well, but again
5:33
Speaker 3: they're unaware of what goes on in America. They don't know.
5:36
Speaker 3: UFC fighting is a very, very, very big deal in America.
5:39
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of it though, I'm not a
5:42
Speaker 3: big boxing fan, but that looks a little more, a
5:45
Speaker 3: little more dignified, a little more elegant. But they're barely
5:49
Speaker 3: wearing gloves. They're punching each other in the head, and
5:52
Speaker 3: they're kicking each other in the stomach. To me, it's
5:56
Speaker 3: not the greatest sport. But what do I know. So
5:58
Speaker 3: On Friday, Elon mush becomes the first trillionaire in the
6:02
Speaker 3: history of the world, the first trillionaire ever. It was
6:07
Speaker 3: an amazing feat, especially for a guy that came to
6:10
Speaker 3: America with nothing, an immigrant, an African American immigrant, comes
6:15
Speaker 3: here and becomes the first trillionaire. How much is a
6:18
Speaker 3: trillion dollars? Well, think about it this way. One million
6:23
Speaker 3: seconds ago, it was June first, a billion seconds ago.
6:32
Speaker 3: It was nineteen ninety four, a trillion seconds ago, it
6:37
Speaker 3: was thirty thousand BC. So with a net worth of
6:42
Speaker 3: over a trillion dollars, Musk hast more money than one
6:47
Speaker 3: hundred and ninety seven countries than the domestic product of
6:50
Speaker 3: one hundred ninety seven countries. There's only twenty one nations
6:53
Speaker 3: on Earth richer than Elon Musk. Musk could also think
6:57
Speaker 3: about this. He could purchase every single franchise in the NFL,
7:04
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball, NHL, and NBA, and ten of the
7:09
Speaker 3: world's most valuable soccer teams and still have four hundred
7:13
Speaker 3: billion left a trillionaire, it's a hell of a lot
7:18
Speaker 3: of money. But Democrats went nuts. Jimmy Kimmel in absolute rage,
7:27
Speaker 3: foaming at the mouth on TV Friday, yelling and screaming
7:32
Speaker 3: and lying. Of course, I don't think he's lying. I
7:33
Speaker 3: think he's just stupid. I just think he doesn't know.
7:35
Speaker 3: A lot of these people just repeat things they hear
7:37
Speaker 3: on the left wing media. So he's yelling and screaming
7:40
Speaker 3: about how Elon Musk paid no taxes, came here and
7:44
Speaker 3: did nothing but take from this country. All he did
7:47
Speaker 3: was take. This, of course, is a total lie. Nobody
7:50
Speaker 3: in the history of America or probably the world, ever
7:54
Speaker 3: paid more taxes than Elon Musk. He pays billions and billions.
7:58
Speaker 3: He's the single biggest tax pair in history. Now, Tesla
8:02
Speaker 3: might not pay tax but Tesla, believe it or not,
8:04
Speaker 3: doesn't make a profit. You know when they said Amazon,
8:08
Speaker 3: why didn't pay any taxes? The first ten years of Amazon?
8:10
Speaker 3: Why is it paying taxes? Because it's losing like one
8:12
Speaker 3: hundred billion a year. The reason they're losing they keep
8:15
Speaker 3: pumping the money back into the company. They don't take
8:18
Speaker 3: any of it. They just pump it back into research development.
8:21
Speaker 3: But Kimmel fuming, Bernie Sanders yelling this, there's a call
8:26
Speaker 3: to action, a call to action. Just have to stop
8:30
Speaker 3: people from being successful now, remember when Elon put that
8:34
Speaker 3: stock out, he becomes a trillionaire. But forty five hundred
8:40
Speaker 3: of his employees became millionaires. Forty five hundred, four hundred
8:44
Speaker 3: of them now worth over one hundred million. And when
8:47
Speaker 3: I say employees, forty four hundred became millionaires. If you
8:52
Speaker 3: look at the list, some of them are, you know, plumbers, electricians.
8:56
Speaker 3: Here's one guy, Trevor Heath. He was gonna take a
9:00
Speaker 3: job at General Electric, but apparently his parents convinced him
9:05
Speaker 3: to go with Oh no, his parents wanted him to
9:07
Speaker 3: go to a General Electric. He wanted to go to SpaceX.
9:10
Speaker 3: His parents said General Electric, it's more stable, go there,
9:13
Speaker 3: but he didn't listen. He went to SpaceX, stayed there
9:17
Speaker 3: twelve years, which gave him over one hundred thousand shares.
9:21
Speaker 3: They pay a lot of the employees, all these employees
9:24
Speaker 3: in stock among salary. They also give him stock. So
9:28
Speaker 3: at one hundred thousand a share, he's now worth seventeen
9:32
Speaker 3: million dollars in his thirties, seventeen million. He's now semi retired.
9:38
Speaker 3: This happened to a lot of guys. There's a plumber
9:41
Speaker 3: there who all of a sudden ended up with ten
9:43
Speaker 3: million from his stock. But they were just going crazy. Bernie.
9:48
Speaker 3: It's a call to action, AOC. Elon Musk is not
9:53
Speaker 3: a scientist, he's not an engineer. He's a billionaire con
9:56
Speaker 3: man with a lot of money. None of this is true.
9:58
Speaker 3: This is actually insane. This to talk. Paul Krugman. You
10:02
Speaker 3: remember that bug eyed, weird looking with the crazy eyes,
10:06
Speaker 3: that New York Times economist who was always wrong about everything.
10:09
Speaker 3: Anytime he predicted a collapse, the stock market would boom.
10:12
Speaker 3: Anytime he predicted a boom that would collapse, always wrong
10:16
Speaker 3: every time. Paul Krugman said, the shows it's a rig
10:20
Speaker 3: system that Elon Musk would become a trillionaire. He called
10:26
Speaker 3: SpaceX a Ponzi scheme. This is insane. CNN and ms
10:32
Speaker 3: now pundits called Musk a white supremacist. Actually one of
10:39
Speaker 3: them was on with Scott Jennings yelling that Musk is
10:43
Speaker 3: a white supremacist. So Jennings said, you might want to
10:47
Speaker 3: hire a lawyer right now. You might need a lawyer
10:50
Speaker 3: for that comment. But he's a guy who came to
10:55
Speaker 3: America with nothing, just a backpack. He and his brother
11:00
Speaker 3: started a little company called Zip two. I don't know
11:02
Speaker 3: what the hell did. But four years later he sold
11:06
Speaker 3: Zip two for three hundred million dollars. I mean, the
11:09
Speaker 3: guy's a genius. He's a genius. A little young, little
11:13
Speaker 3: guy sells his company for three hundred million. Then he
11:16
Speaker 3: started a company. He co founded a company called PayPal.
11:21
Speaker 3: PayPal revolutionized digital payments. He later sold PayPal to eBay
11:26
Speaker 3: for one point five billion. Took all that money and
11:30
Speaker 3: bet everything on Tesla and SpaceX. Now the guys had
11:34
Speaker 3: a bunch of failures. You know, you gotta remember every great,
11:37
Speaker 3: great success, Steve Jobs, everybody, every great company's had massive failures.
11:42
Speaker 3: That's how you learn, That's how you do stuff. You know,
11:45
Speaker 3: you do one hundred things, five to ten of them
11:48
Speaker 3: absolute failures. Same thing with Trump. Guys had I think
11:52
Speaker 3: it's one hundred and seventy two companies. You know, each
11:55
Speaker 3: project's a separate company. Four of them went bankrupt. Was
11:58
Speaker 3: it was all Atlantic City, which is a very low
12:01
Speaker 3: record for bankruptcy. Most companies. Apples had more bankruptcies Google.
12:06
Speaker 3: Google had one of the biggest bankruptcies in history. Remember
12:08
Speaker 3: the Google glasses. That was like a twelve billion dollar
12:11
Speaker 3: loss right there, that one thing. But Musk was an
12:16
Speaker 3: incredible worker. He worked insane hours. He slept on factory floors,
12:20
Speaker 3: office floors. He was constantly told everything he was doing
12:25
Speaker 3: was impossible. But he not only changed the world, he
12:28
Speaker 3: saved lives. He invented unbelievable stuff. Whatever that thing he
12:34
Speaker 3: invented for people that are paralyzed, so they can do stuff,
12:38
Speaker 3: change their lives. Starlink has saved lives all over the world.
12:42
Speaker 3: That's used in war zones. Ukraine used it to survive.
12:46
Speaker 3: It's used all over the place. But Democrats hate this guy.
12:50
Speaker 3: Here's Liz Warren. You see it's up on her Actually
12:53
Speaker 3: you can go to my Twitter. You can see it.
12:56
Speaker 3: It's Liz Warren calling a Musk a free denouncing him.
13:03
Speaker 3: But she's recording it in the back of her limo
13:05
Speaker 3: while the chauffeur is driving. If you're on my Twitter,
13:09
Speaker 3: also look at that video for getting off her private jet.
13:13
Speaker 3: We know how Elon Musk made all this money. As
13:16
Speaker 3: we said earlier, how did Elizabeth Warren become a multi millionaire.
13:21
Speaker 3: She's a multimillionaire on a government salary. Could she explain that?
13:28
Speaker 3: I remember, Musk is the biggest single taxpayer in history
13:31
Speaker 3: and her salary every cent of it forever paid for
13:35
Speaker 3: by taxpayers. As Musk said, if you could die from irony,
13:40
Speaker 3: she'd be dead already. So unbelievable. Now, Democrats, we'll back anybody, anybody.
13:51
Speaker 3: They don't care who it is. They're not about character
13:53
Speaker 3: or any of that. The backing Graham Platner, who's got
13:58
Speaker 3: a giant Nazi tattoo in the middle of his chest. Uh,
14:02
Speaker 3: he's got an incredible track record of terrible behavior with women,
14:08
Speaker 3: cheating on everybody, sexting and texting with all kinds of women. Uh.
14:12
Speaker 3: The only Democrat who'll be honest is Fatterman.
14:15
Speaker 5: This is a guy that's been dropping picks on Kick
14:17
Speaker 5: for a decade. You know, and now you're you know,
14:20
Speaker 5: you're a journalist. You all know what Kick is for,
14:23
Speaker 5: and you know they have six significant problems about being,
14:26
Speaker 5: you know, the predator's predator's playground for there. You know,
14:30
Speaker 5: why can't someone perhaps you ask him why did you
14:33
Speaker 5: choose Kick of all the different apps?
14:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently it's a app where you meet very young women.
14:39
Speaker 3: But Democrats don't care. Now listen to Hakim Jeffries, not
14:42
Speaker 3: the brightest guy in the world, but uh, they ask him, Well,
14:47
Speaker 3: he'll support Platner. He was a little evasive.
14:50
Speaker 6: Does Graham Platner have the character to be a US Senator?
14:53
Speaker 2: Leader?
14:53
Speaker 7: Jeffries, Well, first of all, I thought you were going
14:56
Speaker 7: to say, the big news of the week is the
14:58
Speaker 7: Knicks winning the NBA champions You're going to get to
15:01
Speaker 7: that first time in fifty three years.
15:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, But he kept ducking the question. This morning, he
15:07
Speaker 3: appears on Good Day in New York wearing a Nick's
15:10
Speaker 3: hat and a T shirt and that cheap plant, pandering,
15:16
Speaker 3: hustling politician. Hey, when we come back. Oh, by the way,
15:21
Speaker 3: Scott Shannon will be with us a little later this hour,
15:23
Speaker 3: the Great Scott Shannon. We'll talk to him about the
15:25
Speaker 3: Knicks and other stuff coming up. But we'll take some calls. Next.
15:29

Speaker 6: Hello? Mark Antony jury, the black boy that was convicted
16:05
Speaker 6: of murder had three non white jurors a black perspective, jura.

16:13
Speaker 3: and white.
16:14
Speaker 6: What is all the well, yes, I know, Well that's
16:16
Speaker 6: the race hustlers, a concern that there were no there
16:19
Speaker 6: were no blacks on the jury. There was a black
16:21
Speaker 6: perspective juror who said, I could never send a brother
16:25
Speaker 6: to jail. So what do these race hustlers want? Do
16:29
Speaker 6: they want jury nullification for someone who white?
16:35
Speaker 3: What are you talking about? I mean, everybody goes into
16:38
Speaker 3: court has a lawyer. The lawyer picks the jury. His
16:41
Speaker 3: defense lawyer decided, you know you can, you can pick
16:44
Speaker 3: people and reject people from the jury.
16:47
Speaker 6: Of course, Mark, I'm not complaining in Suffolk County. What
16:52
Speaker 6: excuse me?

Speaker 3: we don't have actual phones anymore. There's no actual I mean,
17:44
Speaker 3: here's what this looks like a telephone, but everything in
17:48
Speaker 3: it is digital and our phone calls are actually running
17:52
Speaker 3: through an Amazon cloud. I have no idea how this works.
17:57
Speaker 3: And as you can hear, it doesn't always work. But
18:00
Speaker 3: uh so you get sometimes this weird distortion, and then
18:04
Speaker 3: sometimes it just speeds up people. I don't know why
18:06
Speaker 3: it doesn't. Oh, we got Mike back. Let's try it again. Mike.

18:32
Speaker 1: it got me homesick before the cats is down on
18:35
Speaker 1: Cats is delicatessen.
18:38
Speaker 3: Okay, but wait a minute, he's implying the real kats
18:41
Speaker 3: is Delhi from Manhattan open to Connecticut. I don't think
18:45
Speaker 3: that's the case. There's something called cats Yeah. I didn't
18:47
Speaker 3: think so either.
18:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, although I heard they'd taken their they're going on
18:52
Speaker 1: a road show and they're going somewhere like Milwaukee or
18:55
Speaker 1: someplace still. Yeah, like some booth convention or something.
18:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's food convention. But Katsus is merely doing a
19:02
Speaker 3: pop up, you know where They opened for a day
19:04
Speaker 3: or two.
19:04
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, But it got me homesick for them, and
19:09
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you had a favorite I used
19:11
Speaker 1: to go when I worked at Channel eleven. I would
19:13
Speaker 1: go over to Sarges once in a while. They were okay,
19:16
Speaker 1: it wasn't katz Is. The certainly wasn't kats as the Drawmi,
19:19
Speaker 1: but do you have a particular one that you love.
19:22
Speaker 3: Sarges is very good, and out of all the legendary delis,
19:25
Speaker 3: it's the only one that's still there. It's on the
19:27
Speaker 3: third app was it third and thirty four thirty sixth Yes,
19:31
Speaker 3: and they still have the sandwich. It's like a foot high.
19:34
Speaker 3: The greatest of all, of course, was the Carnegie Delli
19:36
Speaker 3: in its heyday because it was not an incredible deli,
19:40
Speaker 3: but late at night that's where everybody would gather, all
19:42
Speaker 3: the comedians, everybody, and I'd sit there with him for hours.
19:47
Speaker 3: The great whoever was in town, appearing wherever, would show
19:50
Speaker 3: up at the Carnegie Delly around eleven or twelve at night.
19:53
Speaker 3: If you go back and watch the Woody Allen movie
19:55
Speaker 3: Broadway Danny Rose, they show that in the movie.
19:59
Speaker 1: But I remember being in the Congi one day and
20:02
Speaker 1: it was a table of Japanese tourists and they ordered
20:04
Speaker 1: one of the like the you know, the biggest sandwich
20:07
Speaker 1: they came. They would they went crazy. It was the
20:09
Speaker 1: most exciting thing to watch them go completely nuts over
20:12
Speaker 1: the sandwich at the Carnegie.
20:15
Speaker 3: Yeah no, And people say, why in the Carnegie or
20:19
Speaker 3: a Sarges or any why do they make the sandwich
20:21
Speaker 3: a foot high? Why did they put so much in?
20:23
Speaker 3: Nobody could eat that? And Leo, the great owner of
20:27
Speaker 3: the Carnegie, explained to me one day, you can charge
20:29
Speaker 3: like double or triple. Nobody can complain because you're giving
20:32
Speaker 3: them their money's worth because they can't eat it.
20:36
Speaker 1: Does exactly sawmy sandwich last time I was at Cats
20:41
Speaker 1: and that eight years ago, ten years ago, it was
20:43
Speaker 1: like twenty bucks or something. Twenty four bucks was Strami sandwich.
20:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, we cats just doesn't make it ridiculously big. But
20:48
Speaker 3: the Carnegie even sarges it's really big. But it's like
20:51
Speaker 3: they could charge it for two sandwiches even though you're
20:53
Speaker 3: only eating one. But a great point, Mike, You wait
20:57
Speaker 3: a minute, we lost them. Sorry about that. Let's go
21:00
Speaker 3: to Richard and Bayshore. Richard, how you doing very well?
21:04
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark. This is democrats can tell us telling
21:07
Speaker 2: us they're going to pack the court and then the filibuster.
21:10
Speaker 2: If we get a nice majority in both houses, why
21:12
Speaker 2: don't we pack the court?
21:14
Speaker 3: They're gonna do it anyway. Yeah, you know, we don't
21:16
Speaker 3: do stuff like that. I say. We Republicans don't do stuff. Yeah,
21:21
Speaker 3: Republicans don't do stuff like you remember, for many of
21:25
Speaker 3: these Republicans, they're like country club types. It's just government,
21:29
Speaker 3: you know. For Democrats, it's like warfare. This is like
21:32
Speaker 3: their religion. This is like twenty four to seven they'll
21:35
Speaker 3: do and that's why they'll do anything crazy. It's like
21:37
Speaker 3: a crusade for them. Traditionally, Republicans are kind of like
21:41
Speaker 3: you know, like the bushes. They'll show for a few
21:44
Speaker 3: hours during the day, then it's back to the bar again.
21:48
Speaker 3: And most Republicans are more private sector oriented. They don't
21:53
Speaker 3: worry about transforming. But Democrats government is their whole life. Hey,

22:49
Speaker 3: I was never a basketball fan. I don't think I've
22:51
Speaker 3: ever watched a basketball game in my life, but I
22:53
Speaker 3: got hooked on the Knicks. I'm watching every minute of
22:55
Speaker 3: the game.
22:58
Speaker 2: You're a little late getting on the train, I guess. Yeah.
23:03
Speaker 2: The train left the station and you're hanging on the kaboos.
23:09
Speaker 3: I'm sure I'm not the only one who wasn't really
23:11
Speaker 3: a best.
23:12
Speaker 2: There there were. There were plenty of new fans, believe me.
23:17
Speaker 2: Fifty three years went to eleven presidents, the internet, smartphones, COVID,
23:23
Speaker 2: and finally the Knicks are on top of Cain.
23:28
Speaker 3: Do you know the last time they won to last
23:30
Speaker 3: time they won the championship, the number one record was
23:32
Speaker 3: tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree.
23:35
Speaker 2: That's correct, that it's correct. You know, it's kind of
23:39
Speaker 2: weird too, because, uh, it's the wedding season right now,
23:44
Speaker 2: and every Saturday all around the country there are weddings planned.
23:51
Speaker 2: When people and all the fans, you know, all the
23:56
Speaker 2: Knicks fans, when it came time to wait a minute,
24:00
Speaker 2: we got to go to that wedding. Holy crap, and
24:04
Speaker 2: uh we we were Trivisa and I were like that.
24:07
Speaker 2: So a friend of ours, one of the marraw boys, Steve,
24:12
Speaker 2: and his wonderful wife Nancy. They've got six kids, good Catholics,
24:18
Speaker 2: and they're five of them are girls. So he spent
24:22
Speaker 2: a lot of money on weddings. This was his last one.
24:25
Speaker 2: Cassidy is their name and and it was at the
24:28
Speaker 2: Sat Saint Regil's ballroom. You have been in that hotel?
24:32
Speaker 3: Yes, there block away.
24:36
Speaker 2: So I'm sitting, I'm thinking, what the hell am I
24:39
Speaker 2: going to do that? And I called the bar. There's
24:43
Speaker 2: a little I got a nice bar there the King
24:46
Speaker 2: this cold Yeah, so I called. I said, you guys
24:50
Speaker 2: are going any TV's ready to go for the game
24:52
Speaker 2: that goes So we don't have televisions in the King
24:57
Speaker 2: cold bar. Thank you for calling.
25:01
Speaker 3: So wait, wait it's it's twenty twenty six. You can
25:05
Speaker 3: watch on your phone.
25:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, but that looks a little rude, I wanted.
25:10
Speaker 3: Yeah.
25:11
Speaker 2: So when I got there, I saw Steve and I said,
25:16
Speaker 2: they're going to be offensive. If I got my father,
25:18
Speaker 2: he said, you're not gonna have to worry about that, man,
25:21
Speaker 2: I got you taken care of. He had made arrangements
25:24
Speaker 2: that have two big screen TVs, put one on eat,
25:29
Speaker 2: one on each side of the bar for the up
25:31
Speaker 2: in the ballroom.
25:33
Speaker 3: So excellent.
25:34
Speaker 2: I looked at her. But the problem. There was one
25:36
Speaker 2: other problem though, they had where I didn't go to
25:38
Speaker 2: the postgame party. Uh, they have those alleys, they have
25:42
Speaker 2: these extra parties, but there were a lot of people
25:45
Speaker 2: from different places around the country that came in for
25:49
Speaker 2: for the groom, Max and Cassidy really both of the
25:53
Speaker 2: school and all that. But the problem and a lot
25:57
Speaker 2: of these people were they had to go to the
25:59
Speaker 2: postgame party and then they had to go to their hotel.
26:04
Speaker 2: But the problem is if you recall what was going
26:07
Speaker 2: on in the street, in the streets of New York,
26:11
Speaker 2: these poor people. Couple from Minnesota, Were you gonna be
26:15
Speaker 2: all right? I said, Well, if you don't mind seeing
26:18
Speaker 2: school buses go up and play it, you don't have
26:20
Speaker 2: a good time.
26:22
Speaker 3: Well, and uh, hey, what about that the World Cup
26:25
Speaker 3: FIFA that I can't get into. I can't watch that.
26:28
Speaker 2: I got nothing on that.
26:30

26:34
Speaker 3: am I supposed to root for?

26:48
Speaker 3: of those parades.
26:50
Speaker 2: No, I never have. I've seen them. I'm watching them
26:52
Speaker 2: on TV. But it's it's gonna be. They say it's
26:55
Speaker 2: going to be the biggest ticker taby parade her.
27:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, you think, There's actually no such
27:04
Speaker 3: thing as ticker tape anymore. They don't have stock tickets,
27:06
Speaker 3: so they have to buy this fake ticker tape and
27:08
Speaker 3: throw it. But it's now metallic and the glitters. It
27:11
Speaker 3: looks much better.
27:12
Speaker 2: Now. Do you ever look back, You ever look back
27:14
Speaker 2: at all the different events that were covered. I mean
27:18
