  Speaker 3: will mess everything up. Says fall. The says fall Yeah.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Jalen Bronson then passed the ball. The shot twice as
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: much as everybody else. O g Anob had twenty eight
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: points and thirteen shots. Jalen Bronson had thirty two points
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: or twenty five shots. It was like he was trying
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: to win MVP. It's not how they played the first
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: two games, but it's all about Trump. Trump ruined this
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: president Donald Trump and I guess showed up. The disrupted, the vibe, disrupted,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: the momentum, disrupted everything and the new York next fall
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: because of it.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: It's all his fun cop in the building tonight. If
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: we lose, Trump's fault. He made that claim on this
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: show now in all penness, he had done it on
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Instagram before, but he did make that on air claim
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: with us on Monday, and then the NIXT did lose,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: and now he blames Trump. So Trump was very nice
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: about stephen A on the Tormac at Kennedy after the game.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: He said, look, he's not too bright, but he's a
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: nice guy. Now today on Truth's Social President Trump opened
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: up a can of whoop ass on Smith. He repeated
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: the low IQ, but he said he's he's dumb as
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: a box of rocks and would make Joe Biden's debate
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: performance against me look good. I gotta say, Lewis, that
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: may be the worst thing you can say about anybody,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: because that was about the most embarrassing moment in TV history.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Forget it right, But Biden, that's a bad analogy.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: So stephen A, you know, he's all happy that that
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: pret Trump is even talking about.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: That's all he cares about.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: So we bring on all these sports guys on this
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: show because I still love sports. We cover sports on
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: this show, as well as Boomor and Jail. But we

• 3:09
  Speaker 4: having a great time here ten years or what are

• 3:16
  Speaker 4: happy for you. And you're doing the TV stuff still
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: and you know you're young and handsome and you still
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: wear those Michael vic jersey.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: So you're done with that? Is that over?
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: No?
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: No, no, it come on. I see this twenty something
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: years ago after the dog fighting and I moved on
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: from Michael Viacon.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: No you didn't, No, you did not. You still wore
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: it well, did I?
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: I don't remember that?
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: No, No, I mean you gotta understand.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: You're walking in with a Michael Vick jersey at East
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Cauzari's walking in with a Dan Marino jersey, Dave Bunzell's
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: wearing some unknown soccer player jersey.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: This was a place of business. Yeah right.
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: What I will say is those are my fondest memories
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: of being in the business twenty something years ago, hanging
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: out with you guys. You were on the air, we were
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: behind the scene, but just the camaraderie that we shared.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: I missed that terribly and I loved it so much,
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: and really for me, is somebody. You were my favorite
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: on air personality, you and Dog growing up listening to
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: you too, so becoming friendly with you over the years,
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: it's been it's been great.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: So I miss I miss it too. And by the way,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: sounds not just saying that. He told me that many
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: many times over the years. He looked up to me
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: and he loved me, and he loved Dog. And it
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: is different. You know, the old place in Historia Queens
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: and I miss will complain about the mold and it was,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: you know, it was a terrible, terrible shape. But we
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: were a family. And I've done a lot of shows,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: a lot from Hudson Street, the the new it and
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: it's just not the same. It feels like like you
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: were in an office building. And I'm still you know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: I'm best friends with Craig Carton. I love Chris Olivero,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I love him the gloves and those guys are still
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: my buddies. But the whole atmosphere changed when you went
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: from that dungeon basement and Astoria to an office building
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: in Manhattan, right.
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, one hundred percent. It was not the same. So
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: for me that once we once they decided to move,
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: it was the old days, the good old days were over,
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: just felt more corporate and business like. Yes, well, I'm
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: grateful that I had the opportunity to work with the legend,
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: whether it was Imis there and hanging out with his crew,
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: obviously Mike and the Dog, my two favorites, you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: getting a chance to work with those guys, you and Jody,
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: you and Joe, you know, you being a part of
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: the I'm stood to me, those are the glory days.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: I agree with you, those were the glory days.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: But I'm glad you got a shot at the midday
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: show and you guys did a very good show, you
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: and Brandon. But again, you're still doing a terrific job
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: on your own podcast. So let me get right to it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Stephen A is blaming the next He's not alone blaming Trump.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I should say Spike Lee got Moron, He's doing the
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: same thing. And then you get Max Kellerman and I said,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: this morning sound, I said, if you showed me one Republican,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: not even Maga, take sid Rosenberg out of it. I'm magga.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I'm good friends with Trump. He texted each other pint.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Just give me a Republican who's saying the same thing.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I give you something, now, Stephen A. Smith, there's not
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: a hater.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: He's not.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: He's on News Nation with Bill o'reiley talking up Trump
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: every now and then. He seems to me a little
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: more common sense. But he's certainly not Maga Trump and
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: the other guys Kellerman, Spike Lee, they hate Trump, so
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: it's easy for those guys to say something as silly
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: as we lost because Trump was in the building.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: That is ridiculous.
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: No, yeah, but this is he's executing the plan perfectly.
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: Think about it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: Steven A.
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: Smith, who's a fake Knicks fan. He's not a real
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: Knicks fan. Dan, he's not bluing him.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: Come on, he's not a real knicksan. I'm not buying
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: that nonsense. Do you think Stephen A. Smith is wearing
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: the losses the way.
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: Real Knicks fans have worn losses for the last twenty
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: something years. I'm calling BS on that, But I.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Give him credit because he's executed the plan perfectly.
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: Think about it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: It's one thing to get the attention of the national
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: media or the players. He's got the attention of the president.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: The President's talking about him and tweeting about him. That's
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: a win for Steven A. He's won. Obviously, Trump had
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: nothing and I'm not political at all. Trump had nothing
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: to do with the Knicks turnovers and sloppiness and the
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: bad officiating. They lost the game to a good team.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: That happens. It's not Trump's fault.
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: But man, maybe I wish I was smarter like Steven A. Smith,
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: be able to get the president's attention. Blame Trump sure
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: was in all his ball.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: It's a good job he did.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: He got the President talking about him now two consecutive days,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: and that's really what he wanted. But let's get to
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: what you just spoke about, which was Brunson thirty two
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: points on twenty five shots. Brunson has had one good quarter.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: That's the bottom line. He's on a magnificent season. We're
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: all ready to put bruntson ahead of Patrick Ewing as
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: the third greatest nick ever behind Fraser and Willis, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: he might deserve to be there when it's all said
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: and done. But he has not had a good series.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: He's had three relatively in effective games, and the officiating
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: was an issue in Game three. And like you said,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: San Antonio is a really good, young, physical, big basketball team.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: So what do you expect to see tonight, Game four
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: at Madison Square Garden.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: I think Tonight's city just comes down to what you
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: believe him. I believe the Knicks are legit, and I
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: believe they're the better team in this series, and they
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: were going to win this series from the beginning. I
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: believe that they're gonna have their best effort tonight and
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: bounce back. The old reaction is ridiculous. They win two games,
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: everybody's calling sweep. They lose a game, now it's oh,
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: come to Spurs. You're right, the Knicks have not played
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: their best game yet. Brunson has not played his best
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: game yet in the finals. Is that a credit to
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: the Spurs?
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: Sure?
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: I think a part of that is credits to the
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Spurs defense, their physicality, Wenby's presence in the middle. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: though fully expect that they'll bounce back. Also, Brunton has
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: not been shooting the ball well, so we can credit
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: the Spurs and their defense and the physicality. He's had
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: some good looks that are just not going down right
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: from the beginning of the games on, and they've been
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: a little uncharacteristic with the sloppy play. So I think
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: that that loss in Game three kind of woke them
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: up a little bit. Maybe some of the pressure is off,
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: not having the anticipation of the first finals game at
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: the Garden in twenty seven years, the expectation that the
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: Knicks war in fact gonna sweep after they go up two. Oho,
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: that's now out the window. And tonight maybe they get
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: to relax a little bit and just play basketball, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: I expect that you'll see their best effort led by
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: Number eleven, who I do think has surpassed Patrick Ewing
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: and I think, when all said and done in this series,
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: will surpass Mark Messier and join the ranks of Eli
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: and Jeter as a New York sports god.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: I know the Rangers are not as popular though I'm
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: mentally popped on New York guys as Nickabockers. But unless
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: he delivered a Stanley Cup, the only one we've gotten
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: in ninety years, so that's a big one. I'm not
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: there yet, not there yet, but I hear you he's
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: going to be in rare upied air. There's no question
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: about that, and I agree. I think they'll play well tonight.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: You think Mike Brown does anything different, You know he
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: went to Lantry early last game, but just got about
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: three minutes. He took him right out, he went to
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: the bench. You think Mike Brown does anything different, No.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: I think the one thing I'd like to see from
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: Mike Brown is getting call Anthony Towns more, having him
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: be a little bit more aggressive. I love the fact
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: that he's so unselfish, and the Knicks play well as
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: a team and have been unselfish together, a good ball movement,
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: all that stuff. Then, especially if Brunson's not going to
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: Bronson's best ability, they need to get Carl Antony Towns involved,
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: specifically in the fourth quarter. So that would be something
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: where I'd just be nudging him a little bit to
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: be a little more aggressive and less passive.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: If you've got a shot, shoot it, dude, it's okay.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: And same thing we're going at. When these guys dribble
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: in the paint, then they dribble right back out.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: Go at him.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Let them block a couple of shots. That's fine, throw
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: an elbow at him.
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: So maybe a little bit more aggression in the paint
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: going after Wemby and then specifically with Karl Anthony Towns
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: being less passive. Outside of that, though, I think the
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: Knicks has just got to keep doing it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: Remember they played three day one two of these games.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Like the Spurs are good.
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: This is what happens in series.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: I know, Nick fans don't understand this series. Do go five,
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: six or seven games. It hasn't happened for the Knicks
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: this year, but it might happen in the NBA finals.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: All right, sound, where can people find that great podcast
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: if you always listen to you on a daily basis?
