  Speaker 1: Are you there's no change? There's zero chance I'm sitting

  Speaker 1: with President Trump.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Funny I got. I got a call of sex this weekend.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: That was the surreal that I saved. Actually number one,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I got a phone call from Randy Levine telling me
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: he missed me.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on, that was pretty awesome.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Did you get a similar call? Is that right? And
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I got a check from President Trump saying I had
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a season seen you and said I've blown him off
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: for four days, so you get to sit with me.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: See, Craig is a genius. He listens to the first
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: forty five minutes and he just capitualized everything I said.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: At six o'clock this morning. You want this is why
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: your whole baby?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, probably got Trump going to the game time and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: all that. You ever will be all up in arms
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, Stephen A. Smith was yelling and screaming at me,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: telling me the Knicks are gonna lose because Trump is
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: showing up.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Smith who I door is also the same guy that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: said Jalen Brunson couldn't play basketball. So let's throw our
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: role on Steven A's take on the Knicks and his
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: performative fandom. Uh if I may okay? That being that,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that being said, Trump was at MSG in twenty twenty
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: four for UFC three or nine. He was at MSG
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen for UFC Q forty four. First president
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to ever go to a UFC event in person. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: guess what Nobody complained about how hard it was to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: get into the building. And he wasn't sitting in the box,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: he was sitting cage side.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: That's true. But but you would, but you would admit
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that the UFC, while big, is nothing compared to the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Knicks in this city.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I mean no, the New York Knicks have done something
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you and I dreamt about for fifty years. And you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: takeover New York City, Junior. Is different in New York
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: when the Knicks are good and obviously playing for the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: potential of winning a championship. And I can tell you
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: that I've obviously done sports a long time, You've done
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: sports a long time. We're both New York born and raised.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: This is what we always dreamt of, and we've seen
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: nothing like.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: This, never nothing like this, like from a.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Fans Stampoin Johns Prade in twenty eleven was great, but
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it was another Giants Prague. Nankees Praying No. Nine was great,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: but it was another Yankees prayed. They both got a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: battlet's to say, I don't know, seven fifty a million
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: people can out for him, which is still awesome. But
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: if the New York Knicks finish this off, you're gonna
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: see something the likes of which we've never seen, could
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: never imagine, but we've dreamt of it for a long time.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Su No, the Yankees jew just tonk with two million,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: But I think you were the one who said it,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and you're right. The Yankees and the Mets they split
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the city. The Jets and Giants split the city. And
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: outside of Evan Roberts and two or three Orthodox Jews
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and that's about it. Nobody looks for the Brooklyn Nets
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: in the city. They're on Nick bands.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Sure, that's don't exist there in the relevant franchise. They
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: were in Jersey, they are in Brooklyn, right. New York
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: is a Nick town, full stop.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: So you will you were really adamant and you were right.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I gave you credit. You deserved it. They were gonna
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: sweep Cleveland. I know you were nervous down by twenty two.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't hear you. Unfortunately, the day before this series started.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Do you say the same thing about this series?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: No. I said Nickson five, and I had some rules
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: which probably aren't fair for predictions. I said, you were
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: not allowed to pick the Nickson six because if you
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: picked the Nicks and six, it's because you just didn't
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: have the backbone to say five, right, You couldn't. You
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: can't pick the Spurs and seven because that's stark right.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't allow people to make those predictions, so I cannot.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And I said Nixon five, and it looks like it's
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: going to be Nixon four. I think to that'll be
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the hardest win for them in the series. But if
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: they get to win tonight, it's a sweep.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable, Chraig. If they sweep after being down two to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: one to Atlanta, they will have won fifteen consecutive basketball games.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, they weren't this. There's no way anyone could
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: have predicted this. There's no way.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Nobody do you could be the biggest homer in the world.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: And you could not have predicted with a straight face
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: or even joking that after being down two one, the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Knicks would run off fifteen consecutive wins. I think it's
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: only done one at the time. I think the Warriors
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: did it.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They did do that. You're right, You're right, the Warriors
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: won fifteen straight. Let me tell you how big. Let
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: me tell you how big this nick one is. And
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you can appreciate this because I say this not to
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: patronize you, because I do love you, but I do
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: believe you're the best sports talk radio guy, not just
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: send New York, but in the country. I think you're
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the best. But and you know, in New York you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: got the Yankees, and the Yankees are still king. The
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Knicks are right there, the Giants. Yankees are still king
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the Knicks. This story is so big no one even
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: cares that Aaron Judge is hurt. Nobody.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: No, you're right, Like it happened last week while I
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: was on the air, and while you mentioned it, obviously
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you talk about the you know how the ramifications for
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the Yankees. It's okay, and right back to the next
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: and yeah, I hate like I hate to have the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: hackey lazy radio stuff like who's the new King of
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: New York. It's a stupid conversation to have. But I
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: will tell you this, when An exploses out when you
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: could put Jalen Brunson as the third greatest nick of
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: all time, I think that's a fair conversation.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He goes right over you when you're putting up behind
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Walton Willis, Right, Yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: That's right. Frasier, who for me is number one? Off?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: You think it's Willis and that's fine, But those are
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the top two guys for sure, and then it's gonna
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: be Jalen Brunson. I think he absolutely jumps over Patrick
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Ewing because he's got the trophy that Ewing done.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Now I agree with you see, and one of the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: arguments that Steve and I and I were having. You know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: they canceled the watch party outside the garden tonight, Craig,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: there was still three big watch parties, Woman Rink and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Brian Park and Brooklyn Bowl, so they canceled. But and Steve,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: when I was talking about Trump, listen to me, Okay.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: We had two opportunities after NBA Finals road Winds on
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Wednesday and Friday to act like human beings and not
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: be La and not be Detroit. And we failed. Twenty
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: six people got arrested outside the Gardon on Friday night,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: these punky kids. And I said this to Steve and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: he got mad at me. He said, grow up. But
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I'm right. These kids they never watched the Knicks. They're
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: not the Knickson Trail places in November like you and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I are doing, or the Knicks and Grizzies in December.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they smoke a big joint, they
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: have a beer that they buy some jersey for forty
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: bucks a day before the sticker is still on the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: damn jersey in the hat and now they're die hard
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Nick mans. I'm not buying any of this, any of it.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I look, there's a group of kids that are
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: out there, for sure, that are out there because it's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the place to be and there's a gathering. You're gonna
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: see the same stuff for the three places you mentioned.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I think there's a decent number of legitimate Nick fans
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: that are out there. But you know, you know, you know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: jumping on top of ambulances and destroying cars and property,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: not because you have the ability to do so, because
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: you got eight thousand people next year. He's not representative
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: of the Knicks fan and now, look, there's plenty of
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: places to gather to watch it. The fact that the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: city denied them the permit to do it out of
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the alleged, you know, concerns for the safety of the president.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if that's the cause or reason behind it,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: But I also don't care that much because people will
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: find a place to party. Yes, I know two of
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: my sons. One lives in the city in Murray Hill.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: The other one you know, is home. I just graduated college.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: They'll be in the city time because that's where people
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: want to be because it's an event the likes of
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: which we've never seen before. Now, obviously you tell them
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the dad, be careful, look out for this and that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: But wherever they're gonna be, there's gonna be a lot
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: of effic people around. Then that's just jumping up and
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: down dri long celebrating something we've never seen before.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Mike, my son, who loves you, Gabriel. He has a
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: little friends, thank you, thank you mine too. So he uh,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: he has this little friend, his name is lad. They
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: were foty years old. He became friendly at the JCC
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and Boca Craig and they still keep in touch. When
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: we go to Florida, Gabe make sure he sees Lead.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Long story short, Lead is his mom and dad flow
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: him in today so he can go into the city,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: like you're talking about your two boys and watch the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: game somewhere and they don't care it is.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: And every bar's got to watch party. Every bar has
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: got some kind of wing and beer promotion, and every
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: you know, business to have a TV onto the window.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: And you know, in a weird way, the closest thing
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I can remember, I think you'd agree with me on this.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: The eighty six mess kind of had this juice, you know,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: because it would be the first title.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Since uh.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Almost right, so they have that they you know, the
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: city rallied around that team because of the personality around it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: But this will dwarf that. I think we're looking at
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: three million people out the prey. Yes, there'll be some
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: issues tonight for sure, as people party, and that's who
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: you have to accept that because young people immature and
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: they'll be drunk and stoned and on you'll molly and
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: everything else. But it doesn't take away from did I
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: say Molly? Yes? I've done it.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I'm me too.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I once woke up in a Vegas strip club. I
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: was given to those love dances.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I the good old days.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to We're going to enjoy it. Man,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I don't like you know, just gonna be idiots out.
