• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to follow up real quick. I talked about, well, you
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: were talking about the World Cup and the price of tickets,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and then I followed up with, you know, the Knicks
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: are doing something really cool. I really didn't get into it,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: but I want to dive into this. So at least
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: five hundred kids are getting in free when the Knicks
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: take on whoever they play, the Spurs or the Oaklhoma
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: City Thunder in the ANBA Finals, and they're giving out
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: five hundred tickets to underprivileged youth in New York City
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: for their home games. It's all courtesy of the Garden
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit that, of course serves children
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: facing illnesses, homelessness, extreme poverty, and other obstacles across the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Tristed area.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: And we know all about the Garden. That's wonderful.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, we just had our boy, mister McDaniels, the mc
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: yeah in here talking about it. And the foundation will
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: receive two hundred and five tickets per home game for
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: games three and four. But if the series goes to
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: six and seven, no, it be just six. I'm sorry
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: because seven would be at the other team's place. They'll
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: get seven hundred and fifty tickets for game six. There's
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a game six of the Garden. So anyway, a great
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: thing they're doing there with the Garden of Dreams. And
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I've seen prices of court side tickets for a Knick's
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: final game. I saw seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I've seen Excuse me, I've a website had with some
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of us want to get a house. I know what
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: twenty five hundred dollars for nosebleed seats in some situations.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of these are, of course resale,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: but that's the only way you're getting in pretty much
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know, I know, but.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Get blown away. I'm sorry. Okay.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Money can't buy happiness?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Yes again?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Or can it? Because what makes you happy?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that right now.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, there is a whole study about truly, we
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: do have to understand what makes us happy. There's studies everywhere,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: and one right now is saying that people can't even
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: pinpoint the last time they had fun, Like we're having
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: less and less fun in our lives, which isn't healthy
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: because part of here is to find our love and
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: our joy. Right. So there's a New York Times bestselling author.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: His name is Arthur Brooks. He's also a Harvard professor.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: He studies the science, if you will, of happiness, and
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: he says, yeah, money can make you happy up to
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: a point. And here's what he's saying. You need enough
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: money to eliminate sources of misery. Meaning if you're not
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: worried about paying for your health care, food, or safe housing,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: money is then bringing you happiness. Right, This makes sense absolutely,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: because you're not worried about those things. Now, he said,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: after that, it's questionable. He's like, then it depends on
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: what you're spending your money on. He feels it's empty
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: if you're going out there and you're spending your money
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: on watches or cars or bigger houses. He doesn't believe
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: this is what or stuff. He said, it's not fulfilling.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: So once again we're being reminded the happiness comes from
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: spending time with our loved ones. So experiences, Okay, spending
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: time together, whatever it is you enjoy, if you can
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: get into that next game, go for it, go on
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: vacation together, just having a good experience together, buying time

• 3:17
  Speaker 3: to pay someone to do the household chores.

• 3:23
  Speaker 2: time some pressure.
