  Speaker 3: You know it's a game of runs. They were to
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: run early.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: We knew we were gonna go on our old runs.

  Speaker 3: We know what it felt like for us, What.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Did it feel like for you?

• 2:58
  Speaker 3: That's about the World's amazing. Every one seriously going to

• 3:05
  Speaker 3: By Washla film fixing stuff. We messed up long to
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: be down twenty nine.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: In the first place and coming out and just being
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: aggressive from the start.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Congratul us to see you, ge I gotta tell you.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Listening back to that for the third time this morning,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I'm so happy for Mike Breen. Breen was on this
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: show just last week and he and I have been
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: dear friends for decades and his best friend was Bernard McGirk,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: my late great partner who passed away tragically five years ago,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: and Mike and I keep in touch. Mike listens to
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: this show every day, every day. I mean, if he's
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: on the road doing Oklahoma City usedon, he's not listening.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: But as long as he's in New York, Mike and
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: his lovely wipe Roe listen every day. And he calls
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: me once in a while to yell at me, could
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: you please stop saying blah blah blah, you're the best
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: in the business. You really are, sid you don't need
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: to say that type of things. Every now and then
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Brinie gives me some advice. But this poor bastard has
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: been sitting there for a decade and on those lousy teams,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: you know, the Phil Jackson days, the Lowry Brown days,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the Isaiah Thomas days, and calling lots of nick losses
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: and embarrassing losses. So I know that Ogan and Obi
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: was the star last night, the crowd chanting O g og.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: But he's really happy for Mike Breen. I'd love to
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: see the Knicks win it for him.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Clyde, he's part of that broadcast Broadcrest CUD but he's
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: got two championships, you know, and The beauty about Fraser
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: is he stayed here. He didn't leave. You didn't moved
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: down to Plantation or d Rile. He stayed here. He's
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: been doing nickname since, so I'd be happy for Fraser too.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: But man, just an unbelievable win. And I did speak
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: to Craig Carton earlier w b N Hall of Fame legend,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: who had the chance to talk to Jim Dolan on
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: the fan yesterday. But I got to talk to this guy.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: He as far as I know, in terms of Nick
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Banns forever, he's the longest. Also on his way of
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame one of these days, still on
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: the fan, but on this show weekly, my dear and
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Joe Bningo, Joseph, I've seen a lot, you know, the
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: comparisons made on this show this morning. Jim Lawitz actually
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: tested me and he said, you know, my home run
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: against the Braves in ninety six, that spectacular David Tyree
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: catch setting up the Plazago Boris touchdown with the Giants
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: beat the Pots in that Super Bowl, the ground Bowl
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: that Mookie Wilson hit underneath Bill Buckner's legs, and all
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: those are being mentioned this morning when we talk about
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: the og tip in last night. What do you think
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: about all that?
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: Well, first of all, let me say this, bro. You know,
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: when you when you have to slay the dragon, okay,
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: and this is a fifty three freaking year dragon that
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: needs to be slayed, and the ghosts is still flying
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: around Madison Square Garden. You have to do it in epic,
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: historic fashion. And we saw this last night, the greatest
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: comeback in the history of the NBA Finals. They looked
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: like they were dead in the water. San Antonio couldn't
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: miss it got in the first half. The officials are
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: calling everything, doing whatever they can, you know, to screw
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: the Knicks here, including what they did to call Anthony
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: Towns two minutes into the game. And I don't want
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: to get into all that. The officiating has been a disgrace.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: So you have to.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: Overcome the Spurs, and you have to overcome the officials, okay.
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: And the fact that the league now is in love
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: with Win Bayami. He's now the face of the league.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: He's the posted child of the league. And to come
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: back like they did last night with all that working
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: against them, Bro, with all that karma against them, you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: this is how you slay the over five decade Dragon,
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: just don't believe. I don't know what else to say.
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: The only game that I can compare this to is
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: a Nick fan who's seen it all. Okay, you got
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: to go all the way back to the first championship
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: Game five at the Garden, tied to two with the Lakers.
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: Willis Reed goes down his knee. You know, he goes
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: down with that knee injury. Right, looks like it's all
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: all but to Nixon down twenty plus points whatever it
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: was in that game, and they came back behind the
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: Busher and Bradley and Dave Stoleworth, you know, going up
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: against Wilt. They came back to win that game. And really,
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: in essence, that's the night they won the championship, because
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: if they didn't win that game, they're not winning the title.
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: That's the only game I can compare as far as
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: the Knicks to the what we saw last night, just
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: you know, one win away from the title. Sid, I
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: don't know. I can't play. I never thought i'd see
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: another championship any of my teams in my lifetime. I
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: got to tell you that never. And this is incredible.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: You said it on this show. Many, many times. He said, Sid,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the worst part is I'm in my seventies now, and
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: you know my teams are the Mets and the Knicks
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: and the Jets and the Rangers. And my fear is
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I'm going to die, which You're never going to die
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: because we love you too much. But he said, my
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: fear is I'm going to die and none of my
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: teams are going to win. I think you first told
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: me that on maybe a couple of years ago. If
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I would have said to you it was going to
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: be the next right, Not the Yankees or in the
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: World Series just two years ago, Not the Rangers who
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: are a Stanley Cup contender just two years ago, the Knicks.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: You might have thought I was crazy. But of all
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: those teams that you follow, you're a metman, not a
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Yankee fan. Of all those teams that you've loved your
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: whole life and follow, would this be the most special?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I know, the Rangers have only won one Stanley Cup
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: in like ninety years, the Jets that haven't been to
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: with Super Bowl since Super Bowl three, we're going on
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: sixty one. But would this be the most special for you?
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah? I mean it's pretty special. Shit, I mean I've
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: been in Nick fan since nineteen sixty two. You know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: I used to go to the old My father would
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: take me to the old Garden, the double hat. You
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: can't believe that they would double at his NBA double
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: head his back then. The NBA was a non entity.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: Let's be honest about it. When I started watching basketball, bro,
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: the NBA was a non entity. How many years would
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: the NBA Finals on tape delay? Think about that tape,
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: the lay tape, the lay when the Knicks won the
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: title in nineteen seventy, that game was that game was
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: an television on regular time.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: So my guess is, as Pete Morgan just pointed out
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: after the merger Julius Irving, that kind of started the trend.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: But really the NBA got big with David Stern and
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: all those drafts, Magic, Lowry Bird, Isaiah Patrick, Ewing, Michael Jordan.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Fair to say, Joe bningo that that's when the NBA
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: started reaching brand new levels.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Well, I think it all started with Bird in Magic.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: That's when it really started. Said, you know, that's what
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: it really took off.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Seventy nine eighty, That's right, that's exactly when it started
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: to take off.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Yep. And even that first year, even that year nineteen
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: eighty when Magic won his first championship when he beat
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: the Sixers and he beat Doctor J and Kareem was hurt.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: That great game six Magic had forty two points and
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: all of that right that game was on tape away.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: So you're even going into the eighties. Wow, and you
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: had these final games on tape away. I mean it
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: was It's a it's a disgrace. So that's where the
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: NBA was, and it's certainly come a long way from that,
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: there's no doubt about it. But uh, you know, I'm
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: speechless what we saw last night. I mean, I can't
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: believe the Knicks are gonna win a championship. I just can't.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: I never thought i'd see it win again. You know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: all the pain in the ewing years, and are Charles Smith,
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Reggie Miller, Michael Jordan, you know these suspensions against the lead,
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: they heat you know, Halid Burton last year with the
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: ball going up and coming down. Man, there's a lot
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: of a lot of ghosts that's got to be that
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: are gonna finally get buried. It looks like Sid.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Does look that way, And like you talked about the
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: way they've done it, coming back from twenty two Game
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: one against Cleveland, coming back from twenty nine last night,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: and they've had games where they're just blown out the competition,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: and they've got games where they they win by one point,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: they sneakle went in. So they've won really in all
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: kinds of fashion, which I guess has to go back
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: to Mike Brown. You know, I have discussed this before.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: The only other two coaches, well, the only coach to
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: win a championship, of course is are Red Holtzman. But
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Riley got there, Jet Van Gundy got there. You're gonna
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: pl but Mike Brown now in the same sentence as
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: those three, but specifically Red Holtzman as a guy that's
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: won an NBA championship with the New York Knicks. That's
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: another one you never would have bet on years ago.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah. You know what's interesting too, Let's be honest about
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: this too with Mike Brown. Bro. Look, when they got
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: rid of Thibbodeaux, he wasn't their first choice. The first
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: guy they wanted was Jason Kidd. That's the name you
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: heard that Leon Rose wanted. They couldn't get him out
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: of his contract in Dallas he got fired now, but
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: he couldn't get so Mike Brown wasn't even the first choice.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: And it's just incredible what's gone on this year. You
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: got to get Brown on. And I thought one of
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: the big moments of this game last night when he
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: went the Jose. How big was Jose Alvarado last night?
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: And this game said he comes off the bench, he
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: plays him in the fourth quarter in the back court
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: with Brunson. Alvarado was huge. He had a monster three
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: that cut it to one at one point in the
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: fourth water. It just seems every time, you know, every
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: time that there's some kind of you know, chaos or
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: things aren't looking good, Brown presses the right button, and
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: last night it was it was Jose Alvarado. I mean,
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: it's just incredible really.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: And they got some luck too.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I brought up these great New York sports moments. Moki's
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: cround ball underneath Phill Buckner's legs. But you know, Bill
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Buckdam had to live in Boston for a long time,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: death threats, His life was miserable. Same thing with the
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Philadelphia Philly closer Mitch Williams coming up to the home run
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: to Joe Carter in the World Series, the same thing
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: with Scott Norwood missing the field goal against the Giants
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: and the Super Bowl with the Bills. I got a feeling.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Dearon Fox walks up the airport in San Antonio late
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: last night, earlier this morning. He's got the rebound, he's
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: got possession of the ball, he's got a one point lead.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Why would you take a shot at that point?
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Why? Yeah? Yeah? And a great block by Annonobi there,
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: who just was magnificent last night. And you know, maybe
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: og has moved to the top for the MVP in
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: the serials. I mean maybe, I don't know. I still
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: got a feeling Brunts is gonna get it, But maybe
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: maybe he's moved to the top. And let's be honest
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: about this. To Sid, Okay, this San Antonio team, Okay,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: you gotta get him now, because nobody's beating this team
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: going forward. Yeah. Wem Beyam is twenty two, Dylan Harper
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: is twenty one, this kid Castle is like twenty three
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: to twenty four. Who's beating his team?
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Nobody?
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: This team is gonna They're gonna beat a team to
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: beat for a long.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: For a decade. They could be a team for a decade.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: The knixt window is now. They could be that team
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: for the decade. Oklahoma City is pretty young too, by.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: The way, Joe, Yeah, but I you know, look I
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: said this before. Wem Beer Yama is the face of
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: the league. Now, okay, this is the guy. Let's be honest.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: This guy should have been suspended sid He finally got
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: a flagrant last night. He did the same thing he
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: threw brunts into the ground in Game three. They didn't
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: call anything, right, they didn't call anything. He would have
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: easily been suspended for a game because hey, what is it.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: I think it's three flagrants in the playoffs and he
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: gets suspended. He gave that guy who was it read
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: from Minnesota and he gave that elbow two in that
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: series against against the Timblewolves. So the league loves when
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: they're never suspended. You know, that's not happening.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I will say this when they finally did, because you're right,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: he could have been suspended. He's been doing a lot
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: of this thirty stuff for games. When they did, in
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: fact stick that flagrant foul on him on Towns in
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: the third quarter, that is exactly when the score was
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: eighty one fifty two. The Spurs had the largest lead
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: of the game, a twenty nine point lead. When Wemby
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: got called on that flagrant file, that's exactly where the
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Knick started to turn the whole game around.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great point, no doubt about it. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: give town some credit too, man. I mean, you know,
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: he hadn't had a basket in the entire finals in
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: the fourth quarter. Think about that until last night. He
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: hit a big three, big step back three. He had
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: a big two as he went to the basket as well.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: Give him some credit last night too, in that fourth quarter.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: He was one of the kind of an unsung start
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: in this game last night. But look, I mean, this
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: is historic. There's no other way. The city's going to
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: be crazy. I don't know what to say. They're gonna
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: have a parade that's going to be the all time parade.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: It's going to be almost impossible to get to get
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: anywhere near anything at that parade because there's gonna be
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: three four million people there. There's no doubt about it.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: This is the city's team, this is the city's game.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: We're waiting a long, long, long time. Most of the
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: Knick fans haven't even seen a championship. I was fortunate
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: enough to see two right now.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: These young kids, yeah, these younger kids as anything. Yeah,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: these young kids getting drunk and starting fights and hitting
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: cops all over the city. These losers that are making
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: us look like La and Detroit the last couple of nights.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: That's why I wasn't upset when they canceled the outdoor
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: watch party, because we look bad every night. They have
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: no idea what it's been like with this Nikoboker team.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: And you're right. I think you made this point earlier.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: The Jets and the Giants, they split this city, more
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Giant fans, but it's close. The Mets and the Yankees,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: they split this city more Yankee fans, but it's close.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: There is no splitting the city with the Knicks and Nets.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: It's all Nicks. So you're right. Somewhere between three and
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: four million people. The question is, first time in fifty
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: three years, will one Joseph Arthur Beningo, who has been
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: scared to death of New York City since COVID, will
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: you make the trip into New York City.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm the only I'm not scared of that since COVID.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: I'm scared of that, since the mayor, since your I'm
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: scared of that since your buddy man Daddy.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: How great By the way, how great was that yesterday
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: with Jim Dolan on your station on the band with
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: our good buddy, Craig Carton said what I've been saying
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: for a month. Also about Kathy Hulkle. He said, quote, Mom,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Donnie's not a Nickson. I love that.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Of course he's not. And what and look at it, loot,
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: what was this last night? I mean, God, you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: I'm talking to a couple of my buddies who went
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: into the city last night to watch the game of
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: the bar or whatever. They got the whole area around
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: the garden cut off. The lines are unbelievable to try
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: to get into the go What the hell was meant
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: me doing? Don wasn't there last night. It wasn't like
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: the president was there for this game last night. What
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: is he doing? Sid?
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know. He's terrible And poor Jessica Tissue. I
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: love Deally, who's a great police. Yeah, but she's getting
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: homered because she stands with him, she works for him.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: So like Dolan, he took a couple of shots at
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Tish yesterday on the band, I'm like, no, no, no, no, No,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: it's not Jesse. It's the dick bag mayor, mayor Mom, Donnie.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: He's the problem in this city, not all police commissioner. Okay,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Joe on the way out here. Is there any scenario Chobeningo,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: you're one of those guys. It's a disaster. Oh, this
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: is gonna be bad. It's never gonna happen. Is there
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: any scenario where you can see the Knicks losing the
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: next three?
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: No? No, I mean they could very well lose Game five.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: I mean I kind of expect that they might. I
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: kind of want to see them winning at the garden.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: Sid to be honest with you, I want to see you.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: I want I want to win it at home. But
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: I can't see them losing this series now, I gotta
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: tell you. I mean, if they had lost last night,
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: I would have you know, I would have been very
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: concerned that they weren't gonna win. I mean, you know,
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: how do you lose? Now? I mean, and honestly, and honestly,
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: let's get it done Saturday night. I don't even I
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: don't even I don't even care anymore. Just just get
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: it done. Let's get this thing over, Let's get that
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: banter up to the rafters that we've been waiting for
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: for you know, five plus decades. It's time.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: So take me to Mawan, New Jersey. In the final
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: couple of seconds, the beautiful.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Polation is funny. I'm getting text all night. My daughter's
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: texting me. She's screaming as they and making the comeback,
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: and I'm just sitting here saying, man, you know this,
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: they gotta win this game. You know, I'm not even
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: getting crazy, even when they cut it to four, you know,
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: even even when Alvarado made that three to cut it
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: to one, even when Brunston made the play up to
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: give him the lead for the first time. And you know,
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: in the entire game, I'm like, I even get nuts
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: until finally A and ob we made that tipping when
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: it was over there is one point two s you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: knowing they gotta win this game. So it wasn't until
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: that moment when the buzzer sounded that I'm like.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Wow, because because you've seen somebody heartbreaking losses with you
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: talked about earlier. So take me to Mawa this week.
• 19:16
