• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Chuck Norris was chasing the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The rex was
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: not chasing the jeep. Murray Murry, you there. You love sandwiches. Huh,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: let's go to eighty.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: It was bo.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Wow that Prime Time. Maybe I had a crush on
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Betty Rubble.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman was black.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: He caught them the game last night, although they won
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the game. You're listening to Stu Gotsen Company.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: It is two Gotts, a company presented by FanDuel and
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: the FanDuel sportsbook. We are now, I don't know, forty
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: eight hours removed from the Knicks winning their first NBA
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: championship in fifty three years. Were exhausted around here. Me
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: and mikey A were laughing. Normally, the Knicks aren't good.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Normally we have nothing to carry us this deep into
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: the summer. That Knicks have carried us, Mikeya all the
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: way to football. I mean, we are close to college
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: football and the NFL. I'm normally done with my sports calendar,
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: married me this far. They've never carried me this close
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: to football. It's very exciting it is.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: I will say this, Jalen Brunson changed my life because
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: he gave me a month of content that I and
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: no other year have had and I appreciate that. Thank you,
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: Jalen for all you've given me.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: The good news is we're closer to football, or the
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: bad news is we missed half of our summer. Jesus
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: sorry anyway, Taylor, what's going on with the Knicks? They
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: seem to be enjoying this very much, and they should be.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: I'm happy before.
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: The Knicks are living their absolute best life right now,
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: whether it's on the Jimmy Fallon Show, whether it's going
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: on Good Morning America, the Today Show. The Knicks are
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: having the time of their lives right now. And there
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: have been some videos that have come out of Jalen
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: Brunson giving a toast at a bar, and in the
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: toast you could hear him very clearly say we're toasting
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: to fuck Wemby.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: That Jesus Christ. He's feeling so good about himself.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: And there's people on both sides that one. I don't
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: think somebody should be recording those kind of settings, and
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: the team should have those moments to themselves.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Taylor, I got news for you. This team has signed
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: up for being recorded all the time. I don't care.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: No I do. I do agree to a certain extent.
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: You're a public figure in the most populated city in
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: the world, Like yes, people are going to go out
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: and record you. There's two sides of it, where some
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: people are like Jalen Brunson should act with some more class.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: You don't have to say fuck Wemby. The other side
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: of it is Knicks fans saying Wemby was a bit
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: of a punk where he walks off the court the
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: way he acted the series. He doesn't shake hands to
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: the Knicks after they win the championship. I just want
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: to say I love the rivalry. I am all for
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: more rivalries in basketball. If Nick Spurs becomes this big
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: rivalry because of Wemby, because of Jalen Brunson, because of
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: this finals, I'm all for it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: I gotta say I don't want to hear about Jalen
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Brunson in his class. Okay, series was over, Jalen Brunson
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: sought out Wemby, tried to shake his hand.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Wemby wanted nothing to do with it.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Johnson, Brunson still patted.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Him on the back.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Wemby walked off the court like Isaiah Thomas and the
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Pistons did against the Bulls after losing finally to the
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Bulls in the NBA Finals.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Jalen Brunson tried to do the classy thing when you
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: were supposed to do the classy thing.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: You know who wasn't classy Wemby.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: And so you know what Brunston is doing now, while
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: he's getting hammered all over Manhattan, he is chanting fuck Wemby,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: And I'm all for it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Good for him, yep.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: He's only doing privately what Wemby did publicly, which is
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: just agitate the other side. That's all he's doing. I
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: got no problem with Jalen Brunson in a bar saying
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: fuck Wemby, you know what, because Wemby spent the entire
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: series saying fuck the Knicks.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, you reap what yourself yep. I Also I'm with
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Tailor on this.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I have no problem with Wemby assuming some sort of
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: NBA villain role because the NBA needs that, It's always
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: needed that. And if Wemby wants to be the face
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: of the league and not liked. Man, is that a
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: great thing for the NBA? It really is. Who would
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: have thought the Knicks would be the lovable team in
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: this scenario.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: That's the problem, because I think a lot of neutral
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: NBA fans are looking at it and saying Wemby was
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: very unlikable this series. He if you go to a
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: Game six, you can make the argument that Wemby should
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: have been suspended because they missed a couple of flagrant
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: fouls on him. The other side of that coin is
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: you're looking at who you would be supporting if you're
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: not supporting Wemby, and it's like, yeah, I don't really
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: want to support the Knicks and those fans. So it's
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: like it's a pick your battle, and you're losing the
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: battle no matter what you pick.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: This is a perfect storm for the NBA. Because my wife,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: who watches zero basketball at the NBA level, turned to
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: me and good, why is Wemba Mama such an asshole?
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: And I was like, first off, it's web Bin Yama.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Secondly because he just is Apparently that's what the foreign
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: players are, And she said, well, can't the NBA do
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: anything to stop it, And I go, why would they
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: you're talking about it, You're talking when would you ever
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: talk about this? This is what they want.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Right, by the way, it wasn't just Wemby. It wasn't
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: just the fact that he's a foreign player. None of
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: the Spurs, including Stefan Castle, Dylan Harper, no one was
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: shaking hands after the game, right Taylor.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I mean the Spurs just got off the court. The
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: only one.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: That I've seen reported to shake the Knicks hands was
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: Luke Cornett. And Luke Cornett, you guys know my stance
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: on former Knicks. All former Knicks earned a title. So
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: Luke Cornett, I think he was shaking hands because by
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: my personal record book, Luke Cornett did win a title.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Really wow.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: So he didn't shaken he was celebrating, right Yeah.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Can you explain that out further?
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: You saying just because he merely shook hands after the No.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: No, So this this is part of the era you
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: missed as a Knicks fan. Luke Cornett was on some
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: of those Knicks teams that were winning like twenty to
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: twenty five games a season. I think it was I
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: think it was the next starting center at one point gee,
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: some some absolutely terrible teams.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: This is why we never made it this close to football.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, our season normally checked out after the draft lottery,
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: like like we would see where the Knicks finished in
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: the draft lottery. Oh, they have the best odds to
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: getting the number one pick or the number two pick.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: Of course they fall down to number three. That's that's
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: where our season normally ended before Jalen Brunson got it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: So you're saying the K and Cornett stands for Nick
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: for life, right, Yeah, he's.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: The great Nick except for that time he pushed Josh Hart.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: He's not a great Nick.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: He's an okay Nick that he just feel like giving
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: a ring to because he shook some people's hands after
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: the series.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: If we're being honest, I think even saying he was
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: an okay Nick is doing a lot of work for him.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: He takes it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: He would sign up for if you called his Nick
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: tenure okay Nick.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: But if like Cornett's friends were evesdropping on your conversation
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: and they came home and said, hey, Luke, I found
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: a guy who said you were okay as a Nick,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: he'd be like.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Huhh really wow, I'll take it. That's great. No one's
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: ever said that about me before. Is that fair?
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: That is more than fair. He spent two seasons with
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: the Knicks, in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen and then twenty
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: eighteen twenty nineteen. He averaged six point nine points per game.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: All this is interesting, Mikey because you have this team.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: The expectations were not so huge for Jalen Brunson, for
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Josh Hart, for McHale Bridges. We'll get to him at
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: just a second. No one's enjoying this championship more apparently
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: than McHale Bridges. We'll get to him. But it's all
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: about expectations. A lot of things in life are about
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: expectations and what expectations people have for you in your
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: particular field. And the expectations for Jalen Brunson were never
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: lead guy in a championship team and the biggest market
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: in the world. And the expectations for Wemby since he
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: entered the NBA was this guy's gonna hog all the
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: trophies eventually.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And he might still do that. But I think that's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: why you have this Nick.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Team as a lovable team, a team that the country
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: has really rallied behind because you have a bunch of
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: guys who weren't supposed to be lifting the Larry O'Brien
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Trophy and they did it against the guy we call
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: an aliot. Think about that, right, that has to factor
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: in as to why the Knicks are lovable and Wemby
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: is not liked.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: Right now, the only player on this Knixt team that
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: probably entered their NBA career with title type aspirations was
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: Karl Anthony Towns when he goes one coming out of Kentucky.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: But then even Carl Anthony Towns has been picked apart
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: so much in his NBA career. This guy's too soft.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: The whole Jimmy Butler fiasco in Minnesota where Jimmy Butler
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: has has this display of embarrassment with him where Jimmy
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: Butler just takes four random guys and says, I'm gonna
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: play you guys and we're gonna beat you guys before
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: before he leaves there, and you're you're looking at somebody
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: like Karl Anthony Towns, where yeah, he had these expectations,
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: but even even somebody like Karl Anthony Towns how to
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: rebuild his reputation and now going forward for the rest
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: of his career. Like Karl Anthony Towns is a New
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: York Knicks legend.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no question, They're all legends, every one of them.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Michale Bridges, we give a five picks for him. He's
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: he's a legend. But no one is enjoying this more
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: than Mikail Bridges.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: What is he doing right now? Taylor? Like, what has
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: he been doing since they won the NBA jam be
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: jip drinking?
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: Mckel Bridges has not had I don't think mckel Bridges
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: has stopped drinking since since they won the title. He
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: was on Instagram Live yesterday. He these are all the
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: things that happened on his Instagram Live. He shouted out
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: Atlanta for pissing him off and turning him up. He
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: called his teammate Ariel hit Poorty thirty five and joked
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: that Porty lied on his birth certificate. He called he
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: called Jalen Brunson the goat and said that his big
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: ass head needs a statue outside Madison Square Garden. Yeah,
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: he kept referring to Victor Wembinyama as the French Prince.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: He confirmed that James that James Dolan told the team
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: not to have sex for ten weeks.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: I love that James go tole It is getting so
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: much credit from the players, by the way, for delivering
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: a great, passionate speech right before the playoffs started. They
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: won four of the last five in the regular season
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: and then lost what four games in the postseason?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Crazy.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: He He admitted that he could have played better and
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: still has more to prove In New York. He said
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: he wishes he was in the room when Coldplay made
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: the song Lost. That one was kind of out of out.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Of left field, weird, good song, though.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: Do you wish you were in the room when it
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: was made?
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: No, I don't care. I'm just glad they made it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: I enjoy the song. I don't have to be in
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: the room when they make it. I just I enjoy
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: the song, that's all.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: I'm not as big of a music person as you like.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: You're well documented traveling the country to see Grateful, Dead,
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: Dead and Company. I don't think there's a song that's
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: ever been made where I would be like I wish
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: I was in the room to see when it was made.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Wow, oh man, you are wrong about that, by the way, real, Mike,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: is there a song where you wish you were just
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: kind of sitting around listening together.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can think countless Dead songs.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: I'm just trying to think, like, I don't know, was
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: there so Sweet Home Alabama?
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: That one Wasn't that one is a response to a
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: Neil Young song?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I believe it was.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So I mean that they were.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Angry to Heaven.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know all the music. I like,
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: it's like like Pearl Jam, Like, I'm sitting there, going
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: you really want to be in the room while he's
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: talking about the stuff he's talking about. No, I think
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: I'm good.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Is it a drunk brag that he was in the
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: room during Cold Play? I'm not certain how exciting it
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: would be. Actually, I take it back. If you are
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: sitting there and you're a fly on the wall and
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: led Zeppelin is putting together Stairway to Heaven. I'm not
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: certain Taylor knows who led Zeppelin is. I am not
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: certain he's ever listened to Stairway to Heaven. But if
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: you are indeed a fly on the wall and you
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: love music, you're a fly who loves music, and you
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: get to hear them put together piece together Stairway to Heaven,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: that'd be pretty cool.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: Right, this might be this might be a situation where
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: you guys could you guys could pitch this to me
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: all day and I'm just never really gonna see your
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: side of this argument.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: You would be in the room where the Knicks a
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: figuring out how to get Jalen Brunson.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Is my god.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: I would pay top dollar to be in Leon Rose's
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: office when he was negotiating. Yeah, Jujus Randall for Karl
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: Anthony Towns trade.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Right, Mikey, you'd rather be in a war room than
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: be in a room where someone's making a song.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Correct, Oh, man.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Give it. Get me in the room where they're like, hey, guys,
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: I think we should draft Zach Wilson.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: This is why I think we should.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: I would love to be in the room just to
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: watch everybody else's face when they go.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: No, yeah, I'm thinking about Matt Rushmore.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Rooms for Matt Rushmore, Monday on a Tuesday. You gotta
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: be honest with you.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Don't do that one.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: It's a good one. Don't do that.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: So mckel bridges, he keeps going on on this drunken rant.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: One of the comments that he made is Becky Hammon,
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: A lot of people are it's just Nick fans writing
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: in his chat, and the Knicks fans are basically saying, like,
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: you know, bleep Becky Hammon, bleep Becky ham And to
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: mckel bridge's credit, he comes to Becky Hammond's defense and says, like,
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: you know, she's a real one, like people should respect
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: her basketball opinion. But then he also says this about
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: how maybe it fueled this next title.
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: I appreciate Becky no cap the words she said, well,
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: can't win with JB being you know, one A one B,
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: he too little.
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: That didnt fuel that?
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Bro Okay, what y'all say?
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: What he say?
• 14:34
  Speaker 9: I know him because he ain't gonna tell y'all.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, he know that. He knows what she said.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Just do that and go beat him?
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: Go beat?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Did he turn that into a like like was he
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: singing there? What was he doing? He had background music?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, so.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: What you were listening to is mckel bridges is at
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: like a party at like some kind of apartment or
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: he's at his apartment and he's just listening to music
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: in the background and he's just talking to his phone
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: on this Instagram live. But I think there is some
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: credibility to what he's saying about Becky Hammon. Where Knicks
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: fans when the Knicks win the title, Knicks fans first
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: thought isn't hey, let's go out and let's celebrate this title.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: Knicks fans first thought is, let's get our pitchforks out
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: and let's criticize Becky Hammond for critiquing our best player,
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: for being proven wrong about our best player. I think
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: Knicks fans, as a voice for Knicks fans, I think
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: we should celebrate Becky Hammond today.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Really, how would you like to celebrate her? I mean,
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: what are you thinking here?
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: There's a world where Becky Hammond never says these comments
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: about Jalen Bronson, because Jalen Brunson his entire career, has
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: has heard everything. He's too small, he's not athletic enough.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Those comments have fueled him. Anybody who said something negative
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: about Jalen Brunson, we should be celebrating today because without
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: those comments, there's a chance that maybe the Spurs are
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: the champions, maybe the Atlanta Hawks are the champions.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: So you're saying anyone who doubted Jalen Brunson, anyone who
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: said a bad word about Jalen Brunson, all that he
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: used all of that is fuel as gaso lead to
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: prove all the doubters wrong. And therefore, those people who
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: were critical of Jalen Brunson, they deserve to be along
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: for the ride with the New York Next They contributed
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: in some small way, is what you're saying.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: And I'm glad you said along for the ride because
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: I think they should be on the float. I think
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: they should have their own float, a float, a float
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: of haters. It's it's Nick Wright for saying that Jalen
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: brunson sweepstakes was the worst sweepstakes of all time. It's
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: Dan Patrick and Michael Wilbon saying that Jalen Brunson might
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: not even be a two on a championship level team.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, Stephen A.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: Smith comparing Jalen bruns Into He's not even Kevin Durant,
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: He's not even Kyrie Irving.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Stephen A.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Smith, to his credit, apologized to Jalen Brunton yesterday.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: He had him on first agg Well, he had no choice.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: He was wrong.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Jalen Brunton's holding up the trophy and he's one of
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: the best players in the NBA. What would Stephen A.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Smith do otherwise? I mean Hey, I'm still entrenched. You
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: can't win an NBA championship. I feel like I'll be
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: sitting there on the set with the Larry O'Brien trophy.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: Your move would be to just spin it into now.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Do it again? I would yeah, back to back ye
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: bah blah.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: One championship, bo Jalen. Listen, A lot of guys have
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: won one, but only a special few have won multiple championships,
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: and only a special few have won him back to back.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, how about that? That's how I play it.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: So a parade float of haters? I like this levator
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: should be on there? Who else should be on there?
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: Hmmm?
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: He ham in. I think Nico Harrison has to be
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: on there, and he does.
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: Anybody whose comments even slightly fueled this where I think.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: I think if you asked Steven A. Smith, Hey, Stephen A. Smith,
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: you're gonna be in the next parade, but you're gonna
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: be on a float of haters. I think Steven A.
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: Smith signs up for that.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: I don't think it is second I feel it. I
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: think it's like, can I get a throne?
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: I guess listen, no, he's getting exactly Taylor is giving
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: him granting him exactly what it is. Steven A has
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: been asking for the entire time some degree of credit.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Yes, so Taylor follow me down this path. If all
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: these haters fueled Jalen Brunson, which eventually led to him
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: winning the title, and you have been nothing but staunchly
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: supportive of him, did you hurt their chances for.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: I knew you were in I knew you're for this.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, he's prepared for he prepared in the mirror for this.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I'm so proud of him. He's thinking about where people
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: can give you, where they can get me, where can
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: you get And he's.
• 18:57
  Speaker 10: Got prepared responses for reaching every scenario of where he
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: went wrong.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Yes, I'm happy not to disappoint him. Let's go.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: The key thing when you have haters is you need
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: a few people in your corner that are gonna defend
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: you without question. You need that unwavering loyalty to some nights,
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: maybe Jalen Brunson is having doubts in the gym like
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: man Becky Hammond might be right, I might be too
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: small to win a championship. And then what is Jalen
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: Brunson See in section seventeen, row D me saying Jalen,
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: you could do this, buddy. We know and we believe
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: in you. We know you could do it. And then
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: what does Jalen Brunson do? He wants to prove those people.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Right, right, But the people who believed in Jalen Brunton,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: they're gonna feel jipped.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: They're not on the parade float. There's nothing for them.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: I mean most people, the people who are critical of
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: brunts and get in the parade, and the people who
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: supported him get nothing.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: I mean, while I would like to be invited to
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: the parade and be on the float next to jail yet,
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: that would be great. Jalen Brunson in five games, this
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: NBA Finals has given me the gift of a lifetime.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: I am as forever an NBA champion. There's nothing anybody
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: could do to take that away from me. I'm looking
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: at you guys like I know how much you guys
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: love the Jets. There is nothing I would love more
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: than to see you guys reach this level of success
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: and be able to feel this level of joy. Because
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: once you once you, once you experience this level of joy.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: It's it's something I wish for all my friends.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: I've been going through it with you. What do you
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: mean I've been in Nick fam longer than you have.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Why are you the only one experiencing joy here? And
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I'm not what is happening?
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I did it?
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: No, no, but the Cornett stands for Nick for life.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: We'll got to Bill Simmons in just a second. Here
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: he stole something from us. We're gonna play it in
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: a minute. I'm not certain he knows he stole something
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: for it. And we do this all under the umbrella
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: of Taylor. You tell him we love Bill Simmons.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: We love Bill Simmons, We respect the Simmons sports guy.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: We read all his columns growing up.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, he wrote the book of basketball.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: But Mikey, why is Taylor acting like he's the only
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: one who has some level of feel good with the
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Knixt winning an NBA title. He's like, if you guys,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: you know, right before we broke there, Hey, if you
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: guys could feel what it is that I'm feeling. I
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: am feeling it. I've been feeling it the entire playoff.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: It means more to him, Mikey, You're making a face
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: like it means more to him.
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: Listen, I'm not saying you're not feeling happy. I'm not
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: saying you're like, man, that feels good. Yeah, but Taylor
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: is just on another like. I would hope, and Taylor
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: did allude to this earlier. I would hope that if
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: the Jets won the Super Bowl, Taylor would feel for
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: me the way I feel for him right now, which
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: is I am just so happy you got to experience this.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, If the Jets do win a Super Bowl, are
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: you gonna call me and say, hey, I want to
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: go down to Jersey. I want to feel with this team.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: I want to feel the buzz around East Rutherford.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: What are you gonna do?
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: There's no way New York City is going to allow
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: the Jets to have a parade.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: In their city. Not happening, No way.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: No, I don't need to go to East Rutherford to
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: feel the tension and and the oil.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: I'm all right, listen, I'll con see. This Knicks championship
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: met more to Tailor than it did to me.
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: He didn't sit through any of the pain I did.
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: He wasn't there wasn't even alive when John Starks. He
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: wasn't alive when the Knicks were up three to one,
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: headed three to two, headed back to Houston. And lost
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: Game six and Game seven. You weren't there for that.
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: I was alive bad years. I was alive. I just
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: wasn't able to fully pro because I.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Was one year old.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: But the next I mean I was one years old
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: with the next one title seventy three. I don't sit
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: around saying I was here for nineteen seventy three.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I wasn't.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, I was negative one with the the Jets
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: one an NFL championship.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: I thought you were like seven when that happened.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I was negative three. No, we weren't seven. I don't
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: know why. I think Mikey's the same age as what's
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: going on with Bill Simmons.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: So Bill Simmons on his podcast, he did not do
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: this with any aale intentions. He opened it up to
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: the mailbags. You could write in questions to Bill Simmons. Yeah,
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: somebody asked Bill Simmons a question I was listening to,
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: and I was like, why does this question sound so familiar?
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: So Mikey played the sound.
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: James who says love the pod, Thanks James.
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: With Brentson winning a title on NYC, my friends and
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: I New York dantivs have been debating who is the
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: top dog of the city. The debate falls largely and
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: Jeter versus. While Fraser edgton Stone, I introduced the backroom theory. Essentially,
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: Jeter and Brunson walk into a restaurant at the same time.
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: Who does the owner give the back room?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Two?
• 24:10
  Speaker 9: This is just a great way of framing Brunson versus Jeter.
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: And I'm gonna throw Aaron Judge in there too. Let's
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: say Aaron Judge is there too, and all of them
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: there's one back room for ten ten seats.
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: Who gets it? I think Brunson gets it now.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, Bill, thanks for listening. We appreciate it, really,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: but no, nope, nope.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: We love you. Bill Simmons.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Read all your columns, big fan, been on your pod,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: You've been on this pod. We were friends at one point.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know what happened, Okay, but no, absolutely not.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: That is a.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Stolen idea, intentionally stolen by Bill Sibbons.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I don't care what he says. I don't care how
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: angry he gets at me.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: There was no way Bill Simmons came up with that
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: willy nilly off the top of his head, and all
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: he did was take our reservation and turn it into
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: a back room.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Get the hell out here, Simmons enough.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: As the person who planted the seed that eventually grew
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: into the mighty oak that is one table. Do I
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: get any royalties from the Bill Simmons podcast for the
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: fact that he's now doing back rooms as opposed to
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: one tables?
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, and listen, that's the trick of the trade.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you someone who has stolen many, many, many
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: segments from Bill Simmons and others. All you have to
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: do is put a little twist on it. It goes
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: from one table to a back room, and you make
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: it seem like a youers. I get it, been there,
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: done it, But no, because I've done it. I have
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: the experience, and I know what it takes, and I
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: know what it sounds like.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: That's a stolen idea from Bill Simmons.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: So I love how much Bill Simmons sounded like he
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: liked this idea.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Stu.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: I think as the olive branch, Bill Simmons has to
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: come on studiachtson company and he has to play one table.
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: Then then I think will bury the hatchet.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: All right, So Bill, this is an invitation. I've tried
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: to reach out to You know you're listening. Yes, I've
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: already tried to reach out to you a thousand times.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: You're already listening. You might as well come on and
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: join the show. I mean, so, here's the deal. If
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: you come on and play one round of one table
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: with us, take about a half hour, maybe forty five minutes.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: But if you do that, we will allow you to
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: play one room without criticism for the remainder of toime.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: How about that back room?
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: So the table is in Boston, David or Tees walks in,
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: Tom Brady walks in?
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Who gets the back room?
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: Who gets the back room?
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: This is a good way to do it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: You know, they walk in, You have a host, he's
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: standing there. There's only one room left. It's a back room.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: It's a room for ten people. Each of them walk
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: in with ten people, ten family members. Who gets the room?
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: Is that what you're asking?
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So who is it in Boston? David or Tees
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: walks in? Tom Brady walk tom Brady really even though
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: he left for Tampa Bay.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would have said it was tom Brady. Tom
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Brady had but tom Brady's kind of been burning some
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Boston bridges and I think David Ortiz has done nothing
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: but ingratiate himself into that Boston. I'm gonna go. I'm
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: gonna go David Ortiz poppy.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Right, But does the host of the restaurant care about
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: the bridges that Brady has burned?
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: He only cares about the six Super Bowls? Right, I mean,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: that's it Bear.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, But David Ortiz broke the curse.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's true.
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: Yes, beating the Yankees on the way.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: But six super Bowls, Mikey six?
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: All right, So I'm saying, Brady, Mikey, say, Ortiz, are
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: you breaking the tie?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Taylor? Who gets the back room?
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: I think because of the factor that he left for
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: Tampa Bay and made such like Mikey said, it did
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: feel like he burnt some bridges to a certain extent
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: where this past Super Bowl he didn't even come out
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: and say he was rooting for Drake May and the
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: Patriots because we think he didn't want to see Drake
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: May start to, you know, reach reach some of that
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: legacy that Brady had. I think it's or Teas all right.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, you guys have voted me, it's Ortez. I
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: love this game. What a great idea by Simmons. Yeah,
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: how about that back room?
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: So when I was listening to the podcast, I believe
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: it's Joe House who was on the podcast with him.
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: I would have to double check that. Joe House said,
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: if it's a back room, why doesn't Aaron Judge, Jalen
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: Brunson and Derek Jeter all look at each other and say,
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: let's just share the table. And I was listening to, like, what,
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: you can't share the table?
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Now, you don't share the table.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: That's why we did one table right, exactly round table,
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: but because he didn't want to steal it, he expanded
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: it out to one room.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: It's much easier to share a back room than it
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: is to share one table.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Of course, if they walked in together Brady noor Tez,
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: they'd be like, hey, there's one room left, let's just
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: hang out together. Yes, but one table's different. There's intimacy
• 28:53
