- 1:04Speaker 2: speech a couple of years ago up there for Teddy's
- 1:06Speaker 2: talking about the war in Israel, and I looked over
- 1:10Speaker 2: at Tracy and he was crying, I mean legitimate tears

- 1:18Speaker 2: This guy's funny. He could talk about his bulbous penis
- 1:21Speaker 2: on How with Stern make us all laugh. But there's
- 1:24Speaker 2: a lot of sides to Tracy, And of course we're
- 1:27Speaker 2: all thrilled to death that he's with us, because we
- 1:29Speaker 2: know he went through a horrific accident. But he's still
- 1:32Speaker 2: here and he's still a great actor and a great
- 1:35Speaker 2: comedian and quite frankly, a fine person and a great
- 1:38Speaker 2: nick band. My favorite celebrity nickman is joining me right now,
- 1:42Speaker 2: the great Tracy Morgan. Good morning, Tracy, How are you? Powell?

- 1:56Speaker 3: Is there?
- 1:57Speaker 2: I don't know, Trace, I get the feelings like this
- 2:00Speaker 2: competition amongst you and Spike and Timothy Chalomae and now Seinfeld,
- 2:06Speaker 2: and I don't know. It's like new celebrities that are
- 2:08Speaker 2: coming along. You've been there, you've been there all along.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Is there a competition between the celebs court side of
- 2:13Speaker 2: the nicknames?
- 2:14Speaker 3: Absolutely? Not absolutely. We all love each other, man, we
- 2:18Speaker 3: all travel together to the games, the away games. We
- 2:21Speaker 3: love each other and we love our team. And that's
- 2:24Speaker 3: the one common thing we have in common, is that
- 2:27Speaker 3: we love our team.
- 2:29Speaker 2: You cry me Saturday celebrity.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Yeah, when people call it celebrity fans, I don't really
- 2:35Speaker 3: understand what that means, because to me, the true celebrities
- 2:38Speaker 3: are the ones that sit way up top.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Those are the celebrities, the blue seats. That's right, true fans,
- 2:47Speaker 2: that's right, You're right about that.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Did you want that a way out in left field?
- 2:52Speaker 2: Yeah? Did you want? Did you cry on Saturday night
- 2:55Speaker 2: when the next one? Honestly? Did you cry?
- 2:57Speaker 3: Absolutely? Absolutely? Before the game was over, I started breaking down.
- 3:02Speaker 3: I started cheering up, And not just for me, but
- 3:05Speaker 3: for the old timers that have been there and stayed
- 3:09Speaker 3: the course and never waived, the people like sime Fell,
- 3:14Speaker 3: the people like Spike, and the old timers, the unheard,
- 3:19Speaker 3: the unsung heroes of the game, the fans that have
- 3:24Speaker 3: been there since seventy three, and we, I mean the
- 3:27Speaker 3: young fans. We will have our own fight with the team.
- 3:31Speaker 3: We will have we will go through our own thing.
- 3:33Speaker 3: But to have stayed there all those years and then
- 3:38Speaker 3: finally you see it. It was incredible for me. I
- 3:45Speaker 3: was happy for them.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I was happy for you, to be honest, I was like,
- 3:49Speaker 2: look at Tracy. You know, listen, I've been to the

- 13:35Speaker 3: That's your heart, right, that's it what the Knicks was
- 13:37Speaker 3: the team that we had to finish the job, and
- 13:40Speaker 3: we did it. This is the mecca.
- 13:42Speaker 2: This is it, right, this is it now, Madison Square Garden,
- 13:46Speaker 2: that's it. This is the Mecca.
- 13:48Speaker 3: Is better when the Knicks are winning. NBA is better
- 13:52Speaker 3: because the Knicks are musty TV. Let's face it. They
- 13:55Speaker 3: are off Broadway.
- 13:58Speaker 2: You're right, they're right there, right there. That's a good point.
- 14:02Speaker 3: Anything there for you. We got girls, we got gambling,
- 14:05Speaker 3: we got liquor, we got basketball. Is all broad with.
- 14:08Speaker 2: And no one knows this, but Jalen Brunson could very
- 14:12Speaker 2: easily be taking the poop out of your toilet easily.
- 14:17Speaker 2: My guy, that's your guy. You love him, so he's
- 14:20Speaker 2: your favorite Nick right right now?
- 14:23Speaker 3: I mean New York City loves him.

- 14:27Speaker 2: I mean, everybody loves Brunton.
- 14:29Speaker 3: Yeah, the team brought the city back together. You think so?
- 14:33Speaker 2: You think you think that every.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Culture, every color, everybody's hugging each other and loving each other.
- 14:40Speaker 3: There's a few always going to be a few bad
- 14:41Speaker 3: apples and the punch. For the most part, the city's happy. Yeah.
- 14:46Speaker 2: I think you're right. Yeah, but here's the question. But Trace,
- 14:50Speaker 2: but Trace, you mentioned nine eleven, So I was here,
- 14:53Speaker 2: not eleven in New York City. I was on the radio.
- 14:55Speaker 2: It was a day after the Giants played the Broncos
- 14:57Speaker 2: Mother Night Football, nine eleven, two thousand and one, And
- 15:00Speaker 2: that happened, and the city came together like we are now,
- 15:04Speaker 2: but only lasted a couple of weeks. That's my fear.
- 15:07Speaker 2: These things do bring the city together, but people tend
- 15:10Speaker 2: to forget pretty quickly.
- 15:12Speaker 3: Trace. Oh no, I don't think people are going to
- 15:14Speaker 3: forget this.
- 15:15Speaker 2: No, okay, all right.
- 15:16Speaker 3: I think people are going to get the fifty three years.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Yeah, that was miserable.
- 15:21Speaker 3: That's what they are going to forget.
- 15:22Speaker 2: That was miserable.
- 15:24Speaker 3: So I'm always remember to win, but we're going to
- 15:27Speaker 3: forgive them fifty three years. Yeah.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna tell you this you walk because I
- 15:31Speaker 2: gotta wrap this up. But you need to be there
- 15:33Speaker 2: on Thursday because I know that you're a humble guy
- 15:36Speaker 2: and you don't take yourself all that seriously, which is
