  Speaker 2: like Vince Vaughan.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's I've had a few moments where

  Speaker 2: Had we do?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Had we do? What a beautiful line from Vince Vaughn

  Speaker 1: to say, how did we do? Well?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: For those that don't know, your name is not Vince Vaughan,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: it is Brad Blanks. You've been on New York City
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Radio for twenty five years, used to be on PLJ
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: back in the day. You've been a good friend of
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: ours for almost twenty five years.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, great, Dice.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: You worked with the legendary Scott Shannon. So it's all
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: about radio and our connection. Yes, but I wanted to
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: bring you in here because you were at the next
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: game last night, and you have so much to talk
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: about because we have questions.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, kill that d you get in there. I was
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit sneaky.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: I bought a ticket three weeks ago, so I got
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: before the Knicks had actually got through to the safe.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So I saved up my money, bought the ticket solo.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: I've become like a scientist of the secondhand market, trying
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: to figure it out. And don't get me wrong, you know,
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: by the weekend that ticket price had five xed and
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: I could have sold it on the weekends out, could
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: have cashed out for tens of thousands of dollars.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And I was behind the basket still like Section one
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: oh two.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: But yeah, prices were crazy, and then they dropped after
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: the third game, obviously, but I said, I'm not missing this.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: So I've got to be at an NBA Finals home game.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: You know, it's a history.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I love New York.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: I've been here twenty five years, and as an Aussie
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: that grew up loving America, I've got to be in
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: the NBA Finals, which is a pivotal game, and I
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: feel crazy that it actually went the way of the
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Knicks after what was going on early.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're the game, You're down by the next
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: were down by twenty nine point.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: What was the feeling of the.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Do you guys know when you've been in the garden
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: before the energy gets sucked out?
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: You know New York fans have just going what is
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: happening here? And we all start having side conversations like
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: they had. Everyone's checking their phones.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Thought about leaving the people?
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple of people. You see, few people thinking
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: about leaving. I didn't think about leaving. I went to
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: the bar. I stood up there in the bar and
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: made of mine when we're just like what's going on.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: There's just pockets of people that are just distraught. At halftime,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: and then even in the third quarter, it was still
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: chipping away, you know, eighteen points, nineteen points, you'd think
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: you're going to run, and then they come back again,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: get a basket in and you're like, oh, this is crazy.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: And then it was probably like ten ten minutes to
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: go in the fourth quarters when the run really started,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: and when they were fifteen points down, the stadium came alive.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: That arena, ye, sorry, that we arena. Thank you good. Good, Yeah, sorry,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you're good. So I was he blaming the Australia reind
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: me a Scott shadd and then you would call me
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: up on that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: That's good, that's good legendary radio stuff there yea, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: then the and then then the eruption started and everyone's
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: thinking something can happen here. But it's that optimism that
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: everyone sort of jumped on each other and started egging
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: them on. But the best, my favorite part gets the
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: seven points down and by this stage people are going bananas.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: And I looked down and I see Taylor Swift and
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: her girls, the Haime sisters, and Mariska Hargate was really
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: she was. Her and Taylor were hugging all night, which
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: was wonderful. They all started dancing, and they asked Ben
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Stiller to he was filming The Knicks, and then they
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: asked him if they could film.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Taylor goes Ben, Ben, can you film film usk? So
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Ben starts filming these girls all hugging, which was.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Well, back, I've got a good I've got a long
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: lens cubby, a long lens on my Apple life.

  Speaker 4: Right, I've got I just loved that moment of them
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: celebrating the victory and it was and then we get
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: down to that final play when Brunson went for it
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: and he's our captain clutch and it bounced off the
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: rim and.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Just flew, flew through the air. It was biblical of nowhere, nowhere.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But there was.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: So much disbelief afterwards when it happened. Everyone's like what
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: they heard. The garden was shaking, shaking, feel it, you
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: feel it, yeah, moving and just but just like it
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: was such an emotional comeback that we couldn't believe it.

• 4:35
  Speaker 4: it was great to see like other sidelines you get.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I saw Larry David. He was denying people of high fives.

• 4:42
  Speaker 4: to high.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Five, and.

  Speaker 4: I love seeing Jerry Seinfeld's face light up, and yeah
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: it was.
• 4:51
