  Speaker 1: Mikey A. Why is this upset you so much?
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Who cares? I mean, you know what it is.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: It's the NFL is always trying to shove Giants cowboys
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: down our throats and the fact that they take the
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Sunday night game of week one. Just think about how excited,
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: how much anticipation.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: There's going to be for that first Sunday of the NFL.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: And then you're gonna get a couple of teams that
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: are okay playing on Sunday Night, Like, come on, give
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: me a prime time matchup?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, you're getting America's team, You're getting market number
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: one in this, so I'm told, and that's what Sunday
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Night is thinking. And you're getting John Harbaugh's first game
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: as the Giants head coach, I think, you.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Know, I think plenty of people they're going to be
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: into that, they'll be jacked up for that.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: And I think, yeah, No, give me, give me two
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: teams that that I care about. Give me two teams
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: that I think could could actually be there in January
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: and February. Don't give me two teams that you tell
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: me every year are going to.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Be there, because they're not. But I think we have
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: no idea who's going to be there January in February.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: If I told you Seattle was going to be there
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in January and February before the season of the room, right.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: But if I told you you're going to have a
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Ram Seahawks, I can't play the Seahawks because they're playing
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: obviously earlier. But if I told you you're going to have,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: you know, Ravens and Steelers.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I don't even want the Steelers now. I'm tired of
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that myself.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Ravens Chiefs, give me Ravens Chiefs.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: To mike Ya's point, let me let me try to
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: help mike Ya out here.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Last year, this first Sunday night football game was Bill's Ravens.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: And if you think about it, that might have been
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: the game of the year. Yeah, we don and it
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: was kind of all downhill from there.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, we thought in the first half the Ravens
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: with the team to beat, they were going to the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: super Bowl. And then we thought after the game that
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the Ravens were done and the Bills with the team
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to beat and they were going to the super Bowl.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Neither of them made it to the super Bowl.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think you get I'm not upset about
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: it too, not as much as Mike certainly, But I
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: think what it is saying is early on the Giant's
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: going to be a primetime team this year. Because if
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: that's the first Sunday night game where it's not to
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: your point, if you compare it to last year's two
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: national powerhouses that people expect to compete legitimately for the
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: super Bowl going at it on Sunday night football, that's
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: what the week one Sunday night football matchup should be.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: This is a big market Giants, big market Cowboys whatever,
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: going against each other. But I think it's more telling
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: about the hardball led Giants, with Jackson Dart being in
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: the NFL's mind, more of a primetime show, which I'm
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: excited about. I just don't know if I would have
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: that matchup out of the gate on the five Sunday
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: Nightndays the first Sunday night of the year different so
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: Monday night maybe first Sunday night.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I would do so.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: NFL, the NFL often wants market number one, and there
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: are two options that they can go to and market
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: number one, and unfortunately for the NFL and everyone, one
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of those options is the Jets.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, they're not going to go there.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: You know, Sture, you've been betting a lot longer than
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I have. If there is a place to place a
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: bet on who the Jets first round first game matchup is,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: please let me know, because I would put a mortgage
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: payment down right now. Their first game is going to
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: be at Tennessee, just because I know they play them
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: away and they're going to try and shoe horn us
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: into It's a solid revenge game that's gonna happen. I
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: would put I'm calling it now, Jets Week one matchup
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: at Tennessee, one o'clock on CV.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: That's a win. I mean, listen, you might.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Need Mike to tell us. Am I in the minority here?
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Like I love the NFL. The schedule release and who plays,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: who win does absolutely nothing for me.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I love it. I mean I think you're in the minority.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you're on the minority.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I'm excited.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I'll be I'll have spreadsheets, I'll be ready to go Thursday.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: He is so wrapped up in the Knicks nothing else
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: matters to him right now they're off Thursday.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: Just just looking at what your fall Sundays and it're
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: gonna look like in Thursday nights, all this matchup and
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: that I love him. And now I'm not as nuts
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: as some people who go to the next level, but
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: I do think it's to me, it's a fun thing
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: where you can envision what your fall is going to
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: look like with all these great matchups from September through February.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: And Taylor, if you need, if you need something to
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: get excited about when we get back to God bless
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: football after Thursday, we get to bring back that's a game.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Oh wow.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, Taylor is hoping the first month of the NFL
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: season doesn't mean he'll be coming off a Knicks championship
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: in a parade right past the Wells. Fargo and the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Yankees will be headed into the bone season. Taylor won't
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: pay attention until football to the Yankees season is over right,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: Dog get me started on the Yankees.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Yankees git anytime they play a good team.
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: Ah, come on with the Yanks.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: You should let the Yanks breathe a little bit, focus
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: on the schedule. Release you got your knicks. Let the
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: Yankees breathe until the postseason. He can get excited about them.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: They'll be fine.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: What happened over the weekend, tal And just they got swept.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: They got swept swept by the Brewers.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the Brewers are The Brewers are the exact same
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: team that the Yankees got shoved into a locker against
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: with the Blue Jays, where they have great pitching, they're
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: gonna put the ball in play. It's the Yankees kryptonite. Oh,
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: we're not playing the freaking Baltimore Orioles and the Red
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Sox anymore. Now we're playing competitive teams. And once we
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: play competitive teams, this is this is schedule. These losses
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: in for the Yankees every time. These are the exact
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: teams that crush the Yankees.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Thank god we have the Mets coming up. Oh god.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: It was a great quote from booming after the game.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: You know, Yankees are now one and eight. You guys
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: are won to eight against teams with a winning record.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: He's like, we're good. We're a good team, all right,
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: but it is You could see his frustration because it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: been the same kind of theme for a while now.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: The Yankees are bullies. They hammer all the bad teams.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: They bludged the bad teams. They play a good team.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: They have a little bit of an issue. I think
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: this year it's different, But it was funny to see
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: Boone's frustration with it after they get swept. I mean,
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: there was a tight series. They're losing these game one
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: run games against the Brewers.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: Just so happened.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: It wasn't their weekend, that's all.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Taylor, you have a blow to you And
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Taylor has a glow.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: You guys see the glow.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: It's not the knicks, by the way, like the did
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you sit on Like what happened? Did you lay on
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the fucking sun over the weekend?
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: Like big weekend for boating?
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Oh really?
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Really? Whose boat is he? Oh?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's that's why we got the picture of Taylor
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: sleeping on the boat.
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: What happened?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Why were we you sleeping to a bunch of your
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: party the night before.
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: So I just have a very low social battery almost.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Think of it like an iPhone that's like twenty years old,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: you know, the battery health, like my battery health. When
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: I go out, it starts on about ten percent. It's
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: it's it's pop up low percentage, go to low battery
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: mode very early.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I understand that, Taylor.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: I want to pay you a compliment. You're a brave man.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I mean to be on a boat with Israel Gutierras
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: and take your shirt off in front of that guy,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: that guy take it no like hey could for you,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: because I would be wearing a down parka. If I
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: was on a boat with Eazy Goudieraz and he took
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: his shirt off, right, No, no way.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't dare take my shirt off. Let's be honest.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: You and I aren't taking our shirts off. If anyone's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: on that boat.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Oh I don't care.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: I don't care.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: But if he's got an extra ab.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I'm getting it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: No, no thanks.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Waite, Taylor. So I just want to get back to this.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: So you have about twenty to thirty minutes of social
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: interaction inside of you and then once that's over with,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Once you get that over with, you just fall asleep.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Like yeah, so is He and Anthony had their friends
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: on the boat. My girlfriend was on the boat too.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: We were in the water, like docked and and I'm
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: on the sand talking to some people and the conversation
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: reaches a certain point and I kind of look at
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: people and say, hey, we just we just reached my
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: limit here I'm going on.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: They were in the middle of they called about.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: The dog you gotta go has an alarm that goes off.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Somebody was in the middle of their sentence and I said, oh, sorry,
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: I hate to cut you off.
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: There, we're at capacity.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: When the battery is recharged, you can finish, put a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: bookmark in it, and finish after taking a nap.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you ever win the lottery, just hire
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: an umpire from your softball league to follow you around
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and just go time.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I think that matters.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: It sounds great, but my thought process goes to, Okay, well,
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: what is your girlfriend thinking that I'm with you, I'd
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: like to check out and go take a nap. How
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: does your girlfriend respond to that?
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: So she's the social one she handles, she looks at
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: it as.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: She handles the talking where where a pair.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: She handles the social responsibilities.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: See that would not fly for me. My wife be like,
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: what are you doing? You gotta come on, we're here.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: You got you look like a grump. You're not happy
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: to be here. I go, there's a reason why I
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: look like that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not happy?
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Oh so I look like the truth?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, I look how I feel? Right?
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: Why do you look so miserable? Why do you think
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: I look so miserable?
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Do the math.
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: That's not that hard to figure out.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: But I wouldn't be able to get away with that,
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Like Taylor take a nap.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: But you're married, he's got he's got a girlfriend. You're
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: married with a kid. Big different, even worse.
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: I should be able to do that at this point.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: I already put in the work. I put in the
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: hard work trying to get my wife to marry me.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: And then, because that's it, he can be put in
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: the work.

• 9:44
  Speaker 1: In the middle of his sentence, Taylor is still trying
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to woo this person, and yet he.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Doesn't give him bleep because falls asleep. You're right, I'm sorry.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Either we're talking about Jalen Brunson or I'm done with
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: this conversation, right.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: And you know is he ain't talking about Brunson. So

  Speaker 6: block from my house here. I want to get out

  Speaker 1: Would you rent the place out though, to a soccer fan,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I mean to get top dollar for that?
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: Potentially, Yes, we have to. We have to consider that
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: you should.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Rent it out and not tell your wife and just
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: have two strangers kind to show up to the house.

• 10:49
  Speaker 3: and I was I spent an absorbent amount of money
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: for these tickets.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: But I am drawing the line.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I am not spending one hundred and fifty dollars per
• 10:58

• 11:00
  Speaker 3: take the train in. Now that I hear you live

  Speaker 3: of sal uber situation where I drive to your house
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: and then you drop me off.
• 11:10

  Speaker 4: I won't I won't charge.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: As much as Metlafe.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that, Yes, but possibly he needs

  Speaker 1: If you looked up crafty in the dictionary, Sal, do
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you know what you'd see?
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: What's that stue?
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: A picture of Jalen Brunson. I didn't need to set
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: it up that way. It was ridiculous. I'm sorry I
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: did that for you. Philadelphia getting their home arena take
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: it over by Nick fans pathetic.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: You know what the P in Philadelphia stands for? Sal
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: what's that pathetic? It was right there for you. I mean,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: what's the matter with you? Wake up?
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: After careful consideration, Philadelphia is great Sports City. Card has
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: officially been revoked. They can reapply when the Eagles report
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the training camp. They're not good Eagle fans either. Philadelphia
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: fans are disaster, they really are. I mean, winning's not
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: enough for them.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: Eagles might be going the wrong way too.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Who knows, they might be putting on the pole of
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: the Eagles going the wrong way.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Taylor May Sixers Flyers both getting swept in the second
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: round the New Philly Special It's good Joel Embiid saying
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the season was a success minutes after getting swept in
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the second round.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: The E, M and B and EMB stands for embarrassing.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Joke for a city whose idol is a fictional boxer.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia didn't put up much of a fight.
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: They should take that statue down.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Hey, don't bring Rocky in this. Yeah he's still.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Why yeah, why are you getting Rocky? Like? Why does
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: why do you have to take the statue down?
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Because Sally was saying, oh, it's not on the the
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: Sixers fans. It's on the Sixers. What they quit down
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: three to zero in a series like like they had
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: no chance for a comeback. You guys all run up
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: these Rocky stairs, Oh praise all hail Rocky, and then
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: you quit it the first time of adversity six Ers.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: But it's not Rocky's fault.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: They don't deserve the statue.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: I think is what give us that statue? The statue
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: stain Taylor.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Listen, when we have the parade past the Wells Fargo,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: we could take take the statue, just take it with us,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: take it with us back raid route, and just take
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: it back with us.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: At so one point, Rocky belongs to New York more
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: than he does Philly. I love that idea.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Put it on the pall. Should the Rocky statue be
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: moved to New York?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: It's a great question.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: The biggest winner from nick seventy six ers was the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Hawks for winning two games since true credit to Mike
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Brown for finally getting Karl Anthony Towns more involved in
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the last seven games. Knicks fans have only been saying
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: that all year. Cat I love the Taylor. It's Taylor's observation.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: But Nick fans honestly think they're a better coach.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: They're better coaches than Mike Brown.
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: They do.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: They don the WFA and call line right now would
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: win Coach of the Year.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: I think, yeah, probably it has been all regular season.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: I'm sure. See, we told you this is what you
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: should have been doing. Thanks for waking up and listening
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: to us and some hosts. Some hosts I'm sure taking
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: credit for it today. See I told you, Mike Brown
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: listened to us. You finally got Cat.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Moore involved, Yes, named the host gohead. I don't know.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: I haven't listened in a year.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: He still.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: I couldn't tell you a lineup after I got booted.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: He's still scored. Oh my god, I love that. When
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: will you go back? Ever?
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: Like, just not anytime soon?
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Fitting that the last.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Basket scored in the Knicks sweep of the Sixers was
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: by somebody named Broom.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Lamello Ball naming his son the one ball, the one ball.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I thought that was Lance Armstrong's nickname. No good from
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: somebody with the last name Wiener. Good luck once you
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: get to middle school, low one ball?
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: What is he thinking?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Will one ball the Reds are a dead last in
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the NL Central. What would be the third best team
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: in the Major League?
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: You know what they say, So what's that? That's baseball?
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: That's baseball, way, Taylor, Are you telling me right now?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: They're dead last in the NL Central but will be third?
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Where?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: What do you mean third best team? They have the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: third best record?
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: They would they would have the third best record in
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: the in the American League if they were an American
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: League team, behind the Rays and the Yankees.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, so American League all right?
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Uh sabers Canadians chippy it is? It was I'm confused
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: by the Reds observation. Mike y y, there is dead lass.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: It says, this is why you're supposed to write them
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: back and give notes back where we could have caught this.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: A little earlier.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Right now, I'm lashing out, it says MB. Yes, I know,
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: it says MB.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Last out right, you're lasting out at me for not
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: correcting your work. I'm so proud of you.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: I want to hug you.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, sees garbage time lineup would be a playoff team.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: That is so true, a two seat Perhaps Sam Presty
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: should get a statue outside the Thunders arena. Sam Presty
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: is the best in the game, right sal He's the
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: best doing.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: It right now.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: Sure, well, I mean, I don't know Leon Rose making a.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Man Lakers Thunders. I know Game five is if necessary,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: but if we're being honest, game four doesn't feel necessary either.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers the rare team that's played ten playoff games
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and still hasn't.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Had a series start yet. It's true they haven't started.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I don't want to road again. I mean, it's.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Funny once every few Sunday afternoons. You once every few
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Sunday afternoons, of my apologies, you could set your watch
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to turning into CBS, to tuning into CBS just in
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: time to see Ricky Fowler blow a random tournament event.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: It's a tradition, unlike any other. Taylor wrote the observations
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: this week. I did not proofread them. I should have,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: but Taylor wrote him. I didn't proof read him.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: But he is right.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: It's a tradition, unlike any other watching into CBS to
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: see Ricky Fowler blow a random tournament that nobody fucking
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: cares about.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, I like Ricky Fowler.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Taylor. Oh, he used to be something.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: I mean, was he ever something?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Really? Yes, he was. He was a top ten golfer
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: at one point.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: Ever won a major.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: He never won a major. He flirted with winning a major.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to him. He kind of
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: went away for a year year and a half. I
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: think he was a rider Cup teams though, like Britney
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Foller was a good golfer. Megan Grant passing Lauren Espinosa

• 22:04
  Speaker 1: before it's too late.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: He's right about that.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: You want to lose one before you get to the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup, you do, I mean the Hurricanes.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: They start to think it's too easy. It's not that easy.
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: What would happen to the Knicks?
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: It's been that easy. Yes, they had well right the way. Yeah,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: out of the web.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Hey Netflix, I will always skip the intro. Don't even
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: bother asking me. The next time I don't skip the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: intro will be the first time. I like a good intro.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, guys.
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: I mean always skipped the intro.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: You're on your own.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I'll watch it once, just to see what it's all about,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: and then I never want to see it again.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Recap.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: Ye, the only intro I won't skip is sopranos normally.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, Taylor put it on the pole. Do you like
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: a good intro?
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: I do. I like them.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: The Yankees getting swept by the Brewers. You know what
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: was on the menu in Milwaukee, sound sausage, some humble.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Pie, Oh yes, tailor sold of shade. There are more
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Yankee Brewers observations here.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Jesus Spencer Jones striking out in fifty five percent of
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: his at bats.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: You know what the essence Spence Spencer Jones stands for?
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Sound strikeout? Okay, Oh, I didn't like that. You had
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: the answer.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: The Washington Wizards winning the lottery. You know what the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: W in Washington or Wizard stands for. I don't won
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the lottery, Malika Andrews.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's right there for you, dude.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Malika Andrews saying the W in Washington stands for wow
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: after they won the lottery.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, Malika, get your own material. I'm okay with her
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: stealing my material.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: It's for so it drives me crazy. If the NBA
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: lottery was fixed the NBA didn't get the message.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: Such a boring lottery.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: It's terrible.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: It does grisly jazz.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: It's only exciting with the nigger.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: I haven't cared about the lottery in years. I'm worried
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: about the Eastern Conference finals.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Come on, I'm worried about the finals. Yeah. Right.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: People were like, maybe the Warriors will jump up to one,
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: maybe the Heat will jump up. The Thunder had a
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: chance to move up in the lottery. A lot of
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: a lot of potential moves. Where if the lottery was fixed,
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: you think the NBA would try to get involved.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: A little bit and not give it to Washington.
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: Correct.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, the Kings won only twenty two games just to
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: end up with the seventh pick. Their fans are in hell.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Speaking of hell, are Briles sound though? Are the we
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Ken observations very exciting? Landon Donovan is with us. He
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: was asking us Nicks questions right before we got started here.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: He is with us on behalf of Nest Cafe Espresso. Keg,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: what are you doing with them? Landing before we get
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: to the Knicks and maybe some soccer.
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: Well, I grew up with next Cafe. My mom had
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: it in the home growing up, so it's nostalgic for me.
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: But as we get to.
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: The Knicks, imagine the Knicks playing four times a day,
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: every day.
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: For thirty nine days.
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: It's just what the World Cup's going to be this summer.
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: And we have an ability to talk about soccer twenty
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: four to seven, and I think the best way to
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: do it is with Nest Cafe and connecting before the game,
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: after the game, continuing to talk about this sport.
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: That I love so much.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: How many espressed espressos does Landon Donovan have in a day, Well, when.
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: I'm working the World Cup, it's going to be like
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: two or three. As you know, when you're working sporting
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: events like that, it's a grind. So I have the
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: the amazing opportunity to call the games, but it's a
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: lot of work and nes Cafe helps me stay energized
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: throughout it.
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: Land and I got a bunch of World Cup questions,
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: But I really want to ask you a next question
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: because you're asking about the next He's excited level of fandom.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: How excited are you with him?
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm just I like to see teams that have
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: perpetually suffered do well. In some cases, I've gotten to
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: know Jerry Ferrara, who was Turned On Entourage pretty well,
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: and he's a die hard Knicks fan. So we were at
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: an event last month together and he has so much
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: anxiety around this, so to see them doing well makes
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: me happy for him and happy for Knicks fans.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Landon, we're running into a problem where we would love
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: to sit court side at a Knicks playoff game, but
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: we don't really have an inn. You could stroll into
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: Madison Square Garden tomorrow and they'll put you right there.
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: That's right. Could we come to the game with you potentially? Maybe?
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: What do you think I mean we need?
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you need to call Jerry. I think we can
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: get you.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Wait, you've never sat court side for the next game? No, sir, really,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I would love to. Yeah.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: You know what I would actually prefer to do at
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: MSG is go to a Billy Joel concert.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Really, can you help me do that?
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Uh? Listen, you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. I'll
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: get you to Billy Joel. You get me court side
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: for a next game, and we're good. I'll take pre season.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Landed.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Have you been frustrated because I've been railing against US
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Men's soccer, and I'm sorry to do that, okay, but
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you and tell you because
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I've been hearing since the nineteen eighties that this is it,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: this is the soccer splurge, that we're finally going to
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: see the explosion of men's soccer in the United States,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: and yet it's never happened, and I'm wondering why it
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: hasn't happened. And if you're frustrated over the fact that
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: it hasn't happened.
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: Yet, well I view it a little bit differently.
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: And this is not believe me, not drinking the kooli
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: because I'm as critical as anybody. But we want things
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: in society to happen right away, and the reality is
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: if you look at bejor League Baseball, the NFL, the NBA,
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: in the early days, they weren't what they are now, right,
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: so this takes time to build. My frustration is in
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: two thousand and two I played in a World Cup
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: in South Korea. We got to the quarterfinals, and that
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: is still the furthest we've ever got. And so my
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: frustration is not about off the field and the growth.
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: I think the growth of soccer in this country has
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: been amazing, it's more on the field. Why we haven't
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: eclipse that? And there was a study just came out recently.
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: They asked, I think it was a thousand Americans what
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: their favorite sport was. NFL was number one, as predictable,
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: NBA was number two, Soccer was number three for the
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: first time, ahead of baseball and hockey, And so the
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: sport is growing off the field. But my frustration sometimes
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: lies with why haven't we achieved more on the field.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Why haven't we.
• 28:56
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna stay off my soapbox here, but I'll keep
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: this breeze.
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: The reality is is you have to develop players that
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: are capable of playing at a world class level, and
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: we just haven't done that. We had more world class
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: players twenty years ago than we do today, and youth
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: soccer and youth development in this country needs some work.
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: So we have to do a better job of that,
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: and that's how you get players that can succeed at
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: this level.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: Landy, what do you think are realistic expectations for the
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: US entering this World Cup? Because every time I hear
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Poach talk about this team, he's not really getting me
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: excited when he's like, we don't have any top one
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: hundred players.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: He's low expectations.
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: You don't have to have top level talent to succeed,
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: like look at the Knicks.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just kidding.
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: If you have, especially in soccer, if you have eleven
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: men or women who play well together, if they have
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: enough quality, you can succeed. Our two thousand and two
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: team was a great example that we didn't have any
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: top fifty players in the world on that team, but
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: we were successful because we were a good team. This
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: team has better players than any team we've ever had
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: on the men's side, and so if they're able to
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: get that part right, continuity and playing well together, they
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: can do very, very well.
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: They have a very favorable group.
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: We should get out of our group no problem, and
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: we should probably win our group, and from there that
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: sets you on a path that gives you a really
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: good chance to go deep into the tournament.
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: That kind of scares me, to be honest, to say
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: that a US team should get out of the group
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: or should win the group, Like I don't know, I
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: don't know what.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Nobody's saying it, but I think you're saying soccer fans
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: could take some solace in this team is good enough
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: and they're set up correctly for them to have a
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: good World Cup.
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and they look you have to perform right that.
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: The reality with soccer, not dissimilar from the Olympics, is
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: every four years you have the ability to do something
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: really special that grows the sport more than anything in
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: the prior years could do. So they have an opportunity
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: this summer, especially with it being on home soil, to
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: really push the sport forward.
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: Landon obviously played in World Cups, attended other World Cups,
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: and it is such you know, it is the world
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: sporting event, right, but it feels like, and correct me
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: if I'm wrong here, it feels like it's getting some
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: bad pr here in North America just from some of
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: the whether it be the cost situation, ticket prices, transportation,
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: what have you. For Somebody who has the perspective of
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: understanding how massive these events are, are we getting prematurely upset?
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: Will it live up to, you know, expectations of this
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: event that we love here in our country or in
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: this continent, or is it you know, is some of
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: the things that are approaching as its tournament approach is
• 31:43
  Speaker 10: really questioning or questionable Rather.
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: Yes, we're going to have the level of excitement and
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: it's going to meet and exceed the expectations. Every World
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: Cup I've been a part of since I can remember,
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: there's this quiet.
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: Period about a month or two before the World Up
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: where there's.
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: No qualifiers, the rosters haven't been announced yet, the teams
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: have already been drawn into.
• 32:05
  Speaker 9: The groups, and so there's really nothing to talk.
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: About, right, and so you start to hear blurbs of
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: disappointment or this or Every World Cup I've been a
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: part of has been spectacular. There's been no issues, and
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: I fully anticipate the exact same to happen this summer.
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: Once we get into June, all of this will dissipate
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: and and people be really excited to connect around this
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: beautiful game.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: Landon, you had a loan spell at Everton. I'm a
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: Liverpool guy. But what we'll save that.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Worse?
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Could you explain to people in the US that maybe
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: aren't following the Premier League that closely the disaster that
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: would be Tottenham getting relegated and going down.
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I'll equate it to your neck of
• 32:53
  Speaker 9: the woods. It would like it would be like the.
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: Yankees finishing in last place and playing in Triple A
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: next year because of that. And so in the soccer world,
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: if you finish in the bottom three of the English
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: Premier League, you move down to the division lower. And
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: so can you imagine the Yankees playing the you know,
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: Hot Tucket Red Sox every game or during the year
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: next year and some other team coming up that is
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: the equivalent of it. And so there's a massive story
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: going on in England that Tottenham, one of the historically
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: best teams, may end up getting relegated to a division below.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Land In we'll get to Taylor's soccer roles that he
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: wants to apply to us sports in just a second.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I am wondering if you could explain to the audience
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: here the difference, at least from your perspective of playing
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: in a World Cup soccer game as opposed to any
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: other soccer match.
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah, again, I'll use sports analogy.
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: So Yankees, Red Sox or Nick Knicks, Nets or Nick
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: Sixers or you have that pride and that passion for
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: your city and your team, and we have that with
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: regular soccer matches with our club teams. The difference in
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: a World Cup is you're putting national pride on top
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: of that.
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: So when you think about the.
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: Greatest college football rivalries and the intensity and how the
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: fans feel, now add national pride to that. And so
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: if you get a chance to go to a game,
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: I would absolutely recommend people do it because it is
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: unlike any sporting event you'll ever see in your life.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Landon.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: The one that I really want to bring over is
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: players going on loan where teams like the Marlins need money. Yeah,
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: so they could just take like, you know, twenty million
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: dollars to loan out some of their best players.
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: The Yankees, You think that could work in American.
• 34:36
  Speaker 9: Actually, I actually love that.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I guess I love it in all sports.
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: Or it's it's more like, if the Yankees have a
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: really good prospect, but he's you know, sitting behind Aaron
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: Judge and he's not going to play for two, three, four,
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: can you loan him to a team that has less
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: money that you know and needs him and let him
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: play there for the year.
• 34:56
  Speaker 9: I think that's a great idea.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Who's not a threat, like, you know, he's not a
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: threat to you?
• 35:00
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: You want maybe to the other conference or the other
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: the National League or you know.
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah, last quick thing landed is there. If there's a
• 35:07
  Speaker 10: guy on the team who would be more of a
• 35:09
  Speaker 10: household name by the end of this World Cup on
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: the US team, who would.
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: That be, Well, there's a few who some people will
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: know are people who fall soccer, Christian Polisic for sure.
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: I think Weston McKenny, who plays in Italy as well
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: for Juventus. He's playing literally the best soccer of his
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: life right now heading into the tournament. And he's also charismatic,
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: very like good on camera, fun to be around. I
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: think if he performs well, he could absolutely be the
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: breakout star for our team this World Cup.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Right, final question, We'll get you out of here and
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: promote nest Cafe one more time. We play a game
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: around here. PK for your life? Okay, you have to
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: choose a guy to take a penalty kick and your
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: life depends on it, all, right, Messi or Ronaldo?
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Which one? Messi? Ronaldo? PK for your life. It's a
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: tough one.
• 35:55
  Speaker 10: Yes, I take either, but feeling pretty good about your life,
• 36:00
  Speaker 10: I'll say Messy because he's won.
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: A World Cup, so he can handle the pressure, and
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: he's had so much pressure on him his whole career.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: All right, Len, we appreciate the time.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: One more time on the way out, if you don't mind,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: please promote what it is you're doing with Nest Cafe.
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: There were encouraging people to connect through the game that
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: I really love. And there are going to be four
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: games a day for most days. So wake up, have
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: a coffee in between the games. Connect you have you
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: know both of the haves, and think of this as
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: your third half where you're talking about the game and
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: connecting with people you love, using this cafe to help feel.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: You all right, and we appreciate it. You're great. I'll
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: be in touch with you about Billy Joel work on
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: the Nick floor. Seats for Meerica.
• 36:41
  Speaker 10: Yes, American sports heroes should always get tickets to whatever
• 36:45
  Speaker 10: MSGV I think.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Landon doesn't realize he can walk into the Mecca today
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: and sit court side.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: He doesn't realize what a hero he is. He does it.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Landon, Ip, You're right all right. Thank soon.
