  Speaker 2: to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman was black.

  Speaker 2: let's hear from Andrew Luck.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody happy. June puts a smile on.
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: My face every time. What an ally of that guy?
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: Love him.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: You asked me what Andrew Luck was doing these days.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: He's the general manager of Stanford Football.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Ah, you didn't know that, Huh?
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I know he had something to do
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: with Stanford. I didn't know there was a GM, but
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: I guess he was ahead of his time.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, he's the GM of Stanford Football.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: We have an NBA Finals coming up here, Nixon Spurs
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and is he. I have no idea what is going
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: on with Taylor here, But last night he sends me
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: a text and he says, hey, Stu, do you mind
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: if I go to New York City for the NBA Finals?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Go up to New York?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, yeah, like, if you're talking about the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: week after this one when the knickser at home playing
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: at the Mecca, absolutely yeah, you should be up there.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: And he's like, no, I'm talking about the entirety of
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the NBA Finals. I need to be in New York.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: And I'm not certain what the angle is. All I
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: know is he wants to be in New York at
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a time with a Knicker in San Antonio.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: So is he. It was less asking for permission and
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: more telling Stu, hey, my plan is to be in
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: New York for the NBA Finals.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: But so question for me, if you don't mind, why
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: do you have to be there for the road games?
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: You just want to experience the streets of New York
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: if they win one of those games.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I don't want to look back on this series twenty
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: seven years from now, if that's if that's how long
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: the Knicks go in between finals appearances where we have
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson. I'm thinking we're gonna be back next year too,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: So that aside, I do not want to look back
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: thirty years from now whenever and say, man, I wish
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I was I was in New York for the finals,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: So I'd rather just be there from the start.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: So you're checking off boxes here.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: You don't want to look back thirty years from now
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: and say you weren't in New York when the Knicks
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: were in San Antonio.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: But right, it doesn't make it. What will you be
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: doing in New York.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: He's close to the action. He wants to feel the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: buzz of the city, even while the Knicks are playing
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: on the other side of the country.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Closer to the action if he stays here in South Florida.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: There's something special about walking down the streets of New
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: York City, Yes, and seeing somebody in a Josh Hart
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: jersey and gone, right, let's go nixt baby. Yes, And
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: you don't get that in South Florida.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: I mean you'd kind of do. It's kind of the
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: New York light if you will. If you go down
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: to Miami, well, no, just go to Boca.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, yes, just walk around my neighborhood, everyone's wearing
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a NEX jersey.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Go up to Palm Beach and it's one hundred percent
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of the people wearing a NEX jersey.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mikey, Hey, I'm wondering if Taylor can do the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: show from Boca.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: What I'm wondering is if this is a good idea,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: because I believe that it is.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: If Taylor goes to New York, and I'm okay with it.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: By the way, I told Taylor I would never get
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: in the way of him wanting to go somewhere because
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: we could do the show remotely, even though the show
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: is better when we're all here doing it together.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: But I don't want to be that guy to Taylor.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: But if Taylor is willing to go out during the
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: live radio show before Games one and two and walk
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: around the street and play some games of one table
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: with fans wearing Knix jerseys, now you would have to
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: organize these fans in advance. It's live radio. You don't
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: want him to say the wrong thing. You have to
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: gather them up, get them in line, and say I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: going to you. You you, But I am down for it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: If we can go live on the radio radio show
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: two Tailor walking around around the garden.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Just talking to Nick's face.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: It'll be funny if everybody just tells him, Hey, you
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: know the games in San Antonio tonight, right, buddy?
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Is he?
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: The other reason why Stugats is very hesitant to say
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I can't go to New York, right, is because he
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: would be doing the hello pot meat kettle thing.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, no doubt right. I said I wouldn't
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: do that to you. Like the amount of times I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: was denied doing my whole show because we couldn't do
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: it remotely. It's frustrating, and so I swore to myself
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I will not allow that to happen to Taylor.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm only going to bring this up, stud because
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: I see it on the on the topics sheet here. Yeah,
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: and there's one thing that says it's from Taylor. He
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: got maximum stew Gats and we still haven't talked about it. Yes,
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: I know exactly what he's referencing. Taylor. Would you like
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: me to set this up? Or would you like yourself
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: to set this up?
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Unless you guys think I am not self aware, I
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: too know exactly what it is, all right, So you
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: say it at the same time on three Ready.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean at the same time.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It's a bit wordy for us to be saying at
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the same time, but I am. I don't mind you
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: guys going down this pan tell us, well, so it's
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: gonna it's gonna, you know, revolve around the Final.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Four Northwestern a trip to Chicago.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I told Taylor, come out to Chicago, let's watch the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Final four.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: We'll go to a Knicks game in Cleveland.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Women's Lacrosse Final.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Four, Women's lacrosse Final four, Daughter one or second national championship.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I told Taylor, Like I thought, Taylor was under the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: impression that I was, you know, because I'm in the
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: middle of all of this, of everything going on, that
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I'd be booking flights, hotels and all this stuff. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I don't mind paying for his trip, but I'm just
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: like thinking to myself, Hey, can you pay for it
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and then I'll reimburseh you after the fact. That wasn't
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: It was a miscommunication. And really where everything got thrown
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: off is that Rachel got hurt right before the semi
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: final game, and.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: That through the entirety of my weekend.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Though yes, I didn't know that, yes, yes, so well
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: mat Let's hear Taylor's angle.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm certainly listen.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I am certain this is a better, more entertaining angle,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: whatever angle he is about to give you, because I
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: came off very defensive and I was just explaining away
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: what Taylor is about to tell you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And yes, thank you for asking, is he? She was
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: bummed that she had to miss.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: The final for she couldn't play in either the Final
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: four game or the National Championship.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: She is bummed, but she's of course happy that they
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: won a Natty.
• 6:24

• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Okay, I'm in on that. I would like to do that. Secondly,
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: there's an element to this that Taylor didn't mention, because
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: you only told me this part, and this to me
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: is the best part. Good, all right, So Taylor, him
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: and I were walking out of the studio last week,
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: last time I was here. I guess it was right
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: the last day we worked.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, and how you feeling by the way.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: You know, just a little remnants, just got to get
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: some of the spackle out of the lungs, that type
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: of stuff.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: You told me eighty five percent before.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I prefer when you come into a very small room
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: with me, you just lie to me and tell me
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: you're one hundred and ten percent you were good.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm one hundred and ten percent not contagious. And
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: whether or not that's true, I don't know, but I'm
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: super confident about it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, goot, so okay.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: But we're leaving right and we start talking about it,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: and Stu says, I've been looking into court side seats
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: because I know Taylor has never experienced that and it's
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: something he would want to do. And I was just,
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: first of all, in my head, I thought it was
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: Nicks because this was at the time where all the
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Knicks Finals prices were just through the roof, and I
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: was just like, whoa, Stu, do you even are you
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: even gonna get access to those? He's like, what do
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: you think I can't afford it? And I was just like, no, man,
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: I think you can afford it. But you're gonna throw
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: throw down for Taylor, throw down for his girlfriend, throw
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: down for you on court side seats in the middle
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: of you know, your final four weekend. YEA, sounds like
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: a lot, right?
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: It was a lot, uh And they caused a lot,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: but it was in Cleveland. Keep in mind, no, right, right,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: wasn't at the Mecca, so it was a bit more affordable.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: Uh, and I had too.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I wasn't accounting for Taylor's girlfriend to go, so I'm
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: not certain how we would have figured that out. Perhaps
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: it would have been me and Taylor's girlfriend. The other
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: seat was in the four hundreds.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I have only myself to blame in this entire.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: You.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, because Stugott's leads the league in gestures.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, I thought that matters.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, really it is last, but he leads the
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: league in gestures.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Yes, I do.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: It would have been a great weekend.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Next time, just booked the goddamn thing and come out
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: and join me for the final four.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, what do you do with.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Also the tickets? Taylor? Also, next time, just book the tickets.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Doesn't matter what the cost is.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: He's got you listen. But you guys know this about me.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: It's not gonna you know, always go according to plan.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be the exact way you wish
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: it would go. It's not going to be terribly professional.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Just get yourselves there and eventually I will pay you back.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: And listen, if you get there, you're gonna have the
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: week end of your life. Okay, because once you're there,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: it's out of my hands. It's in Abby's hands, much
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: better hands, my wife, and she will make sure that
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: everything is taken care of it. In fact, next time
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: you send Abby that itinerary, don't send anything to me.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: All right, This.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Means I'm definitely going to Tahoe, whether you say yes
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: or not.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Yes. Well, at one point Abby turned to me and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: she said, what happened to Taylor?
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: And then at that point Steve Gott said, you know
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: what I should respond to his text message?
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Man, those poor dogs sitting in they hated you for
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: however long they were in there, and for nothing.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: So Taylor, I'm sorry about that, but you did get
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: maximum Stu gotts. I wasn't trying to do it. I
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: wanted to enjoy that weekend with you.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I know for a fact you did not have any
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: ill intentions. That's why when my girlfriend on Saturday and
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Sunday by the pool is mother f and you under
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: her breath, I'm like, you know what, Steve Gott's heart
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: it comes from a good place. Yes, he just like you.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Just you just kind of have to know what you're
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: getting in.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Right, Listen, I'm not booking flights. I mean, go ahead, Mikey.
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: We know that you don't mean it. We don't know
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: that you don't this time that there's no like you
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna fuck with Taylor
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: and I'm gonna tell him to do that. You know
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: that's not what happening.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I would like to not have to hold
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: your hands through the process of this. Okay, it's just
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Stu invited me to Chicago. He invited my girlfriend. He said,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: We're going to a Knicks Calvs game and just believe it.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Hop on the bird, get to the three one two
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: area code and I'll.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Take care of the rest. All you do is get
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: yourself there.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: That's it's a slippery slope. That is. Any time you
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: mention anything from these, I'm just going to book everything
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: necessary and then send you an invoice and be like,
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: can't wait.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: But I forgot one of the excuses he gave me, right,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: So one of the excuses he gave me it was
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: the Final four weekend. It was Maryland, North Carolina, John
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Hopkins and Northwestern. Oh yeah, he said, let's wait until
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: after the national championship is set because John Hopkins and
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Maryland once those two teams lost, they'll be clearing out
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: and they'll opening up more hotel rooms for you guys. Yeah,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: so then it's easier to book hotel rooms and we
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: don't have to worry about will there be a room
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: or won't there be a right?
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Yes for us, and by us, I meant you, easier
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: for you to book a hotel room, easier for your
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: girlfriend to book a hotel room. The other reason I
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: was saying that is in the event, well it's Evanston,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: so there's not that many And in the event that
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Northwestern had lost that game, there's no way of sticking
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: around to go to Cleveland.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: That's a good point, thank you.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: You know, had they lost the semi final game on Friday,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: there is no reason to stay there anymore. And I
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: was hesitant to make you come all the way out
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: there when I was thinking to myself, Hey, if they
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: lose tonight. Now thankfully they did it, I am hopping
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: right back on a bird on Saturday to go home.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: You know, Evanston is all of thirty five minutes away. Yeah,
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: he can stay in Chicago.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: Be just fine.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: It's tough. It's longer than you think.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: My text message is with stew I know his daughter
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: was on Northwestern, but I feel like a part of
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: him was secretly rooting for Northwestern to lose on Friday
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: so he didn't have to circle back with me on
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: these plans and be like, oh, buddie, Rachel lost, Like
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: we're going home, We're on the next flight away.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have me rooting for my daughter to be
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: devastated so I could avoid paying for you to come
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: up to Chicago.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Got another year, Yes, I believe it. She's already want
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: to clean your right.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: Anyway, So, Taylor, you will be going to New York tentatively,
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: not to any games, not any games.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I've been priced out of the Garden tickets, but just
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: to be in New York, be in the atmosphere, being
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: the mix per se.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, how far do you live from Madison Square Garden
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: and tail it?
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: About thirty minutes?
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, I mean close close enough, I guess to the action.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Are you agreeing to do that before games one? In
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Game two even though they're in San Antonio? Just to get,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: you know, man on the street type stuff. During the
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: radio show, I go out to Taylor and he's on
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: seventh and thirty third and sees a guy with a
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Nick Jersey yacht and he's like.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, one table, Brunton or Patrick Ewing?
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: Who gets it?
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: Or in New York you can't put Brunton versus anybody.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: He's taking that table. Yeah, I'm a team player.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So you'll do that live during the show.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: But that means you have to go a half hour
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: in and a half hour out in traffic to get
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: to the Mecca to do something that may.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Or may not be good on live radio. I have
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: no idea. Yeah, you're right with it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just to be in the mix.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: I love running the subway. So that's what I miss
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: the most living in Miami. Really, I miss public transportation.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: I love public transportation.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Yes, it's now. Miami's public transportation is awful though, right,
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: that's what he says.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, Miami's is awful. What's the other things you
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: missed most about New York? Public transportation was certainly one
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: of them. Of the food was the other food?
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: People caring about sports?
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Where does this rank this moment in time for you
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: as a sports fan. Obviously the Knicks up there. It's
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: your least favorite Yankees team ever, even though they're doing fine. So,
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: but I'm just curious where does this rank, Like, when
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: have you been happier than now? And when have you
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: been comparable?
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I don't think in my adult life, I don't think
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: I've ever been as happy as I am right now
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: and as hopeful as I am right now. Like when
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I was growing up and the Yankees were going through
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: their dynasty, I was, you know, in elementary school, middle school,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: not being able to fully go out and like celebrate
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: the wins. And as a Yankee fan, I kind of
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: grew up spoiled. I just kind of assume the Yankees
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: one world series every year. With the Knicks, I understand
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: the pain of the Knicks, and it's almost more rewarding
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: in that sense.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: How do you show happiness, Taylor, because we wouldn't know
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: one way or the other if you were happy.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: He gets a microphone and he speaks behind it. He
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: fist pumps a lot.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: He does do that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, So my question is you couldn't go out
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: and celebrate that Yankee dynasty.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Did your parents not let you have.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Any Shirley Temples or what's going on there that you couldn't.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Go out and celebrate?
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: That would be me.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or am I going to go to celebrate the
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Yankees winning Chuck E Cheese?
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe you yeah, where a kid can be a kid.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: But I want to go. I want to go to
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: New York mostly and go out with my friends and
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: be there and celebrate the Knicks with people that I
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: know are like minded about the Knicks.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, Now what he's protecting against is me telling him
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I'll meet him somewhere.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: Now this makes so much more sense too, because I
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: think we just confirmed that his girlfriend's coming in to
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: our place to watch the NIXT game one, So now
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: it makes sense he's going away. Yes, but I would
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: tell Taylor, hey, Alehouse after the game, let's go celebrate
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: and then not show up.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so real friends won't.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: Do that to us.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: You'll take care of the tab or his younger friends
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: won't do that to him.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Is he?
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: What a great NBA final? It's the final that I wanted.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: You have this wonderful team in the Knicks that somehow
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: has become America's team, and you have an alien. You
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: have the best player in the sport who is way
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: ahead of schedule here Wemby and the San Antonio Spurs.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Dylan Harper is the guy that keeps me up at
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: night as a Nick fan. That guy is so good
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and so fun to watch.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: But what a great NBA finals for the fans, for
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the NBA it is fantastic. You have this great team
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: in the Knicks with a great player in Jalen Brunson,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: and you have this guy who feels like he's here
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: a bit too early, but he doesn't feel that way.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: He feels like he should be here now and feels
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: like he should win the NBA title right now. And
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not certain he's wrong.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: By the way, when Wemby walks through the door, he
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: can be both early and late. It takes so long
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: to get through that door. You know what this one
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: reminds me of. It reminds me of the nineteen ninety
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: one finals. It was MJ's first finals against Magic in
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: the Lakers, and just in terms of feeling right, like,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: everybody was like, Wow, this MJ guy is going to
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: be something. He might take over the league? Is this
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: his time to do it? And you know he had
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: just gotten past everybody in the Eastern Conference and then
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: you're about to face this whatever, five time champion in
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: Magic Johnson and Glamour franchise. Obviously, the Knicks haven't won
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: the way the Lakers have, so that doesn't really match up.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: But the Wemby an MJ thing, because as you state
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: every single time as a fact, if he didn't retire,
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: it'd be eight straight championships, doesn't it kind of feel
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: like if Wemby wins this one, it'll be eight straight
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: championships for that guy. Yes, but it also feels like
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: we're still we still love the novelty of it. We're
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: still so enamored by looking at it that we're cheering
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: for him. Right by next year that's over. Yes, by
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: next year, everybody's cheering against Wemby, and please, can somebody
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: stop this alien? Right now, it still feels like a novelty, like, Wow,
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: I want to see this guy beat all the odds
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: as a twenty two year old carry a bunch of
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: twenty and twenty one year olds with him to a championship.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: That's going to seem like something we haven't really seen
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: since he be Magic Johnson. But even he had Korea,
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: So that's kind of interesting.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: You're saying that he's popular now, people will root for
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: him now, but should he win this one, people will
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: start rooting against him because their fear is that he's
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: going to prevent their team from winning any NBA titles.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: It's the anti dynasty crowd. This is why dynasties are
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: good for the league, because the opposition is hung up
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: on one opponent. Man, We've got to get past those people,
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: otherwise they're going to dominate. And that's what it feels like,
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: is on the way, the same way it felt like
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: with MJ more so than any other person we've seen,
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: even last year with Shaye, we were like, man, is
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: this going to be a dynasty? I'll have to pump
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: the brakes. This one seems kind of inevitable.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Who should be the favorite in this series?
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: That is such a great question, just based off the
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: last two weeks of action, because if you're just going
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: by box scores, scores and point differential, probably looking at
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: the Knicks and saying, man, you can't argue with the
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: team that is this hot, and if you look at
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: their matchups in the past, or if you just look
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: at the actual play of how they defend wemby, whether
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: it be og who does most of the damage Jared,
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Like I told you guys last week, big strong body,
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: not afraid of that guy, then you could see a
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: more reasonable way of them dealing with Wemby. However, we
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: haven't seen this motivated. When we say alien about Wemby,
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: it's not just ability, man, because that dude is just
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: treating this game like he's like never you know, it's
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: the most important thing in his life, and it is,
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: and so yeah.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: He's treating it the way fans want him to treat it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: He will exhaust everything in his arsenal to try to
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: win this thing, and if he doesn't, that just means
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: the Knicks are like otherworldly good. So that's the reason
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: why I don't favor the Spurs. I'm sorry, don't favor
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: the Knicks, and I think the Spurs should be favored,
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: but I don't think it should be by much.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Excellent answer here This sound courtesy of the Mike Francesa
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: podcast Mike frances trying to figure out who should be
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: favored as well.
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: Here's the latest numbers. Let me give them to you. Uh,
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: Game one the Spurs of four and a half point favorites.
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: What's it for the series?
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: I love this chests? Wow?
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: What enjoy the dead ever, it's nice, that's what makes
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: them great.
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: Number one, the pope and for the series.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: Yes, how you know you're listening to greatness.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Uh, I'm surprised you don't here twenty shares.
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: Twenty I'll see it.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: The anticipation, I'll see it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah. For the series, A quarter hour buildings is participation.
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: I see you in the see the next of four
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: and a if on the dog for game one, I
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: don't see. I don't see for the series yet.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: He's still looking.
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: That's what I'm looking for.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: You know, let him look.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: Take your time to the bathroom if you want.
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: To get they work on a series right now. I
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: expect them to be moderate, not crazy favorites, because I
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: think the Knicks have shown enough that there'll be enough
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: make money. I don't think they'll be big on the dogs,
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: but I think they will be on the dogs for
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: the series. They should be with the extra game and
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: everything else. So I would expect that spurs four and
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: a half point on the door of favorites in game one.
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: And I'm waiting on the series right now. As soon
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: as I get it, I will give it to you.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Hold on, I mean this is honest, producer, I mean, seriously,
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: what do you means, it's great. Let me give them something.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, or don't or don't I mean, just don't
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: give him anything? And what and this this, this is
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: what he produces, and it's fucking magical.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: It's still going, isn't it. Actually?
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Look he's looking he's looking for the season.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: Listen, he's looking for series odds right now?
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Did you hear that.
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: We have it or we don't have it? I don't
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: see it yet. I thought we'd have it by now.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: Just cut all that out.
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: I'm still waiting for it.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: We'll wait all day.
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: That's what I had. But it's not coming up. He says,
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: championship line. Then it doesn't come up.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, I want to scream because I know. I
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: just want everyone to know. This is not edited at all,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: none of it. It should have been.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Yes, we're still playing.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I think found.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: He's about to finish this.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: Off series line is not up yet.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: Now, dismount what a payoff? Confirmed?
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: That's twenty shares.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: You have.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: People probably sit in their cars in deep thought saying, wow,
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: what happened to the radio, And then all of a
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: sudden he just popped back on.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: And I'm telling you what Mike is thinking he'll never
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: say this, is he?
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, he is thinking about taking a machete and
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: just sticking it right through his producer's eye when the
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: show is over, because you can't leave your host dangling
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: that long without giving him the series odds for crying out,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: lad or you can, and that producer deserves a Marconi.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Anyway, It's exactly what you said. As I was driving in,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: I'm listening to this podcast, and about three times during
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: that three minute sound I had to check to make
• 26:49
