• 0:43
  Speaker 1: We are coming to the end of our week and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I am, when I say overjoyed. I am looking forward
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to celebrating Juneteenth this week. I'm looking forward to sleep.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I am looking forward to family these next couple of weekends. Wow,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: not even the next couple of weekends. This is actually
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: one of my last weekends to be able to just
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: like sit, chill, sleep, work on things. I always tell
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: people when I'm not like working during the weekend that
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I'm working on my real life, so like things outside
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of entertainment media related stuff.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: You know, you gotta deal with your real life too,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: as you're dealing.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: With your dreams and chasing your dreams and all the things.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: So just getting like real life affairs in order. Yeah,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like really looking forward to Adult Team, and I'm
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: never looking forward to Adult Team, but because I've had
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to put so many things on hold just because of
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: like time and stuff like that, I'm just looking forward
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to knocking stuff out, but really looking forward to sleep.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: We are gearing up to head on out to the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: BET Awards in about a week and that is going
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to be no stop. Although I have a break in
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: between the BET Awards in Essence Festival, yes we have. Oh,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that is going to be NonStop. So I've been learning
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to better pace just my time and days and being
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: very honest with myself about you know, yo, I need rest,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: like I need sleep, being very honest with myself about that,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: because I'm not my best when I'm not well rested.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: And I think for a while getting you know, trying
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to get everything in older and like stay on the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: bead and do all these things both in real life
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and at work. You're like all right, cool, like I'll
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: be up all night figure and it's all if I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: had to.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: And then during the day.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: What I've noticed about myself is the delivery and just
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: just me in general. I'm not the same when I'm
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: not fully rested. And the older I get, the more
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I just I appreciate it. Kevin Hart was talking to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Michelle Obama and they were talking about the different things
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that actually like change in your life as you get older.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: And I'm not as old and.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: This is no shade to or for ever first lady,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I'm at as old as anybody that sat down in
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: this conversation. It was Michelle Obama and her other Craig
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Robinson for that podcast. In my opinion, Kevin Hart was
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: on the podcast. He was a guest. I'm younger to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: all three of them, but with them talking about how
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: things change when you get older, felt it that's take
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a listen.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: It's the things that break down, right, and the definitions
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: form the words, you know. I think that's the funniest
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: thing that I found about getting older, is that you
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: have a word and reason for everything, you know, because
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: right now I'm losing mobility and my elbow. So what
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: they said to me, is that, like you just you
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: look for so much information. Yeah, so apparently I don't
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: have the same recoil that I did, so I have
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to basically extend my elbow but over extend to get
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the full the full variation of use.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: But other than that, I'm fine. Yeah, other than that,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: but when it rains.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: It tightens up, Like it's that you turn into that
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: And what did you say? You can't eat anything to
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: the point where you put lemon and water. God, Lemon's
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: gonna mess up myself simply I cracked up that way.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: You're much more regular, you know. Every sometimes it's like.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I told this and so long, like I'm not having
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the issues that they're talking about.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: But you do realize how much your body.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Changes, Like even me, like being like out all night
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and being able to just like go to work in
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the morning. Like I feel like the last time I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: was able to successfully do that and not be like
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: sleep walking and barely making it throughout my day, it
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: was like two years ago. But the matter of like
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the matter of two years has changed my ability and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: my thought process around rest because my body screams at
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: me when it needs it, So take care of yourselves,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: prioritize taking care of yourself, and a lot of times it's.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Easier said than done.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Majority of the time, like probably ninety five percent of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the time is easier said than done. But we talked
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: about this before, stealing them little pockets of joy stealing them.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So that's what I'm getting ready for, basically, to spend
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: this weekend just recuperating and catching up on things that
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: have nothing to do with the latest news and trending topics,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: but real life. Deal with your real life, y'all. You
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: gotta deal with your real life agitation and dreams or
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: they catch up to you. Things catch up to you.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Speaking of catching up to you, let's get on into
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the latest because what has caught up on us here
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: in New York City is the parade. So the Knicks
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Parade is going down. It is finally here. I feel
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: like we've been talking about this for about a week
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: or so now. Ever since the Knicks won the championship
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: game against the Spurs in Game five, Mom Donnie, who
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: is our mayor here in New York, is already saying
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that this is slated to be the biggest parade that
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: New York has seen in the city's history. This is
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the first parade that the Knicks have seen. But this
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: is the biggest parade in New York City history. And
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: when I say big, they're estimating. I think I saw
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: earlier like one point seven million people to be here.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I feel like New York is kind of underestimating the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: amount of people. You guys, got to think about it, right,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Like the FIFA World Cup is going down, That's happened
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: at MetLife Stadium right.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Over here in Jersey.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: You have people that are traveling into the city, even
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: if they don't go to the parade, They're traveling into
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the city just because they want to just like be
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: here and witness the vibes of everything.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Literally today not today, you could take that out here.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Literally yesterday around like four or five o'clock, there were
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Knicks fans that were camping out on the parade route.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Just so they could get certain seats. Literally, like people
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: did interviews with them.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Let's say, listen, this is about to be so serious.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I feel like we're going to at least see a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: good four million people trying to figure out the city.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: They're shutting down like Major.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: At seven am today, They're shutting down Major streets. You know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: people are not even trying to drive into New York
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: City at all. I am still very undecided on if
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I will even attempt to At this point, it's like
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to watch the watch the parade
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: from within the parade or anything like that. But I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: was thinking about just being in the vicinity to be
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: able to like see all of the people.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: And all of that. Ah, that might not I don't
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: know anymore.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's gonna be so insane that it's
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: gonna be one of those things that like you will
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: get a better view and vision of from the outside
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: looking at, if I'm being honest. So I still don't
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: know where I was gonna land. But it was announced
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: today speaking of the Knicks, that they will be headed
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to the White House. Now we saw with the Super
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Bowl when the Eagles won the Super Bowl, speaking of
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, had like a million people at their parade.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: So you can get a million people in.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia, you can get way more than one point seven
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: million in New York for the Knicks, especially with the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: FIFA World Cup happening right here in Jersey. Just a
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: little side note, but yes, so James Dolan, he is
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: one of the leadership over there at the next and
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: he was on a radio show yesterday he made the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: announcement that the Knicks have accepted the White House invite.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Let's take it are you're looking forward to the celebration
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: at the White House.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: The As a matter of fact, thank you for asking
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: me that we just did receive an invitation from the
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: White House, which we accepted. We still have to figure
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: out the details, etc.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: But you know, yes, of course.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, look, I invited the President yes
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: to come down for the game, right. He is a friend.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: I've known him for thirty for thirty years, and I'm
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: very proud to bring the team to the way.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: He said, you were privileged.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Ow a sitting president came to the garden, first time
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: ever for a final scam.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: First time ever for any NBA finals.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: That's right, and then you guys get to go back
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: and be celebrated for the entire country to see at
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the White House.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: At I brought up the Eagles because you guys will
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: remember Jalen Hurts. A ton of other people decided they
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: weren't going to go to the White House. The report
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: at the time, when you know, I think it was
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: about twelve players who decided not to go. The report
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: at the time was like their schedules didn't align or
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: something like it was like scheduling conflicts. But we all
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: know what that is. Like people don't want to be
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: aligned with Trump in his White House. And even if,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: like I've saw a reporting that this will be a
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: historic White House visit, because there's been no NBA team
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: during this administration's time that has made it to the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: White House. Because the last team that could have went declined,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: nobody wants.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: To be aligned with that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Like even if you're just looking at it as a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: neutral you know, I just want to go see the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: White House, which honestly, in twenty twenty six, I don't
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: think that there is a neutral way to just say
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I want to go see.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: The White House.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Like if you go and you see the White House
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and you take the pictures and you do all the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: things when the Knicks go to visit, politically, you're picking
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: aside one hundred percent. So I think we're going to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: see a lot of players opt out, Like I doubt
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: like especially from that like starting five start and six
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: line up, the like the Cats, you know, the OG's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: like you're going to see a lot of people opt out,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: even if because we don't know a lot of it,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: We don't know everyone's political views. But even if they're
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: political views align with Trump and s administration, You're going
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to see a lot of people about like people just
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: don't want It's like, this is such a celebration time.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It's like, I feel like, why bring all that smoke
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to yourself? Like why But James Dolan and President Trump
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: are you know, longtime friends. Dolan is the reason why
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Trump was even invited to the game that he did
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: attend during the finals. So I'm not surprised here. I
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: think what is going to be more surprising And honestly,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even know if I would
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: say it would be more surprising. But I think the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: next thing to watch out for is who announces that
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: they're actually going to go or you know, lack thereof.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: But in the meantime, getting back to the celebration, Yeah,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it's wild here in New York yard.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: I mean they have Nick's trash cans. I saw you
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: know it.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Because when if you guys are listening to this episode,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: this episode is going to be taped prior to the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: parade actually happening, so things are just being anticipated.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Like you have.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: People currently right now that are paying seven hundred and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: fifty dollars are more. There are people standing in line
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: along the parade route for people who have paid them
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: more than seven hundred and fifty dollars to stand in
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: line just so people can get to certain spots along
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the parade route. Like this is about to be insane now.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing that they're going to do, you know, the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: security checks on the streets. I know they're shutting off
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: like canal streets in certain areas and like other big
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: streets in certain areas. But and they're telling people, you know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: not to bring certain type of bags to the parade.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: But like, to be honest with y'all, like the parade
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: root isn't even that long, and then it ends at
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: city Hall, which is where they'll get the key to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the city the next team. Right, to be honest with y'all,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's going to get to a certain
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: amount of people where it's like, how can you control
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: this amount of people? Ten thousand police officers on the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: street is a lot of police officers, but it's not
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a lot compared to the amount of people I think
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: we're about to see here in New York. We are
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: about to it is about to be insane. So we're
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: making predictions now of how many people we think we
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: will see. I'm guesstimating anywhere from two zero point five
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to four million people.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Y'all, let me know what y'all think.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Get out there in them streets, get in the tweets,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: let me know what y'all think, because I'm telling you, guys,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I really think that New York is underestimating how like
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: they're saying, this is like the biggest. But the way
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that I'm talking about the preparation, there's a lot of
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: preparation happening that started as of today. I saw next
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: jerseys being hung. You know, bear kads are set up,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: people are announcing who are on their floats. Fat Joe
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: is talking about you know, he's doing the hip hop
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: float for MSG. He talked a bit about that. Let's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: take a listen. But with all that being said, security
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: measures set up and everything, I still think that people
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: are underestimating what this is about to be like. But
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: we'll see. We listen, I'll be back in my next episode.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Before I close the tail, I want to add something
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to the White House part. So once I saw this
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: interview from James Dolan, I actually reached out to the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: White House.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: I've been reaching out to.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Them since the Knicks won the championship that I could
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: be in the queue for when it was announced or
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: when it was decided whether they would accept the invite
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: or not, because I was trying to announce it myself.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Y'all know me always reaching out, but hadn't hear back.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: So when I saw the interview that James Dolan did,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I reached out to them, and then I heard back
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: from a White House official on background, who you know.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: They basically said to me like they've been in contact
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: with the next and the looking forward to the team coming.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Because we were like Dolan gonna go by hisself. No,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: they said they're looking forward to the team. That means
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: they've been told that players are going.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: To go up. So we'll see.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I tell you guys, every single episode, y'all could be
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: anywhere with any old body talking about all of the things,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: but you guys, she was to be right here with me,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: my low riders. I appreciate, y'all. I'm one of the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: rose that this has been another episode of the Latest
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: with one the rosa I'll catch you guys, and my
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: next one
