  Speaker 1: The great Adam Schefter is with us. It's been a
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: while since we have spoken to him. I am delightful.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I am filled with with just happiness by seeing his face.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: He looks rested, he looks great. He's in some sort
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of dungeon. But Taylor was upset with you, and I
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: didn't notice it until now because he saw you on
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: McAfee and you were wearing an Oklahoma City Thunder jacket.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: You still are and this is next time. Man. Come on,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: we're two games away from the NBA Finals. What do
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: you do with Jefter?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you exactly what under it stew Gut's.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: The other day, I was on McFee. I was wearing
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: an Indiana Pacer sugirt. I had a friend who used
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: to work for them, and he sent me a couple
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: of shirts and I was wearing one on McAfee. And
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: as I was on the phone with Maciviee doing my interview,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: my friend Matt Tumblson from the Oklahoma City Thunder and
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: she's like, why are you wearing Pacers gear? The Thunder
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: is still playing. I'm like okay. He's like, are we
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: gonna sing some gear? What's your d if? The Knicks
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: want to send me gear, I will wear it on
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: this Dude Guys show. I'll wear it on MacFee. But
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: then haven't sent me any gear, so I don't know
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: any nixt gear to wear. So Oklahoma said he sent
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: me gear, I wear what sent to me Stu guts.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, So he's telling me to back the fuck off
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: essentially is what he's doing right now.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: And you're right. I'm sorry. I apologize.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if people want to send me stuff like that,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: like Matt was kind enough to do, I'm happy to
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: wear it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: This is going to really like a tailor is going
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to be surprised by this. This is inside our industry.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: But Matt Tumblson is one of the great media relations
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: directors in the history of sports.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Is that fair?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Oh oh yeah? Absolutely absolutely love the guy.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, schefter, How excited are you the next year?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: You've been a Nick fan your entire life.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: We have spoken to you about the next I believe
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you took your dad to a game last year. I'm
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: not certain if you're taking your dad to a game
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: where if you've taken your dad to a game this year,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But how excited are you as a lifelong Knicks fan,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I know we should be talking football. I don't really
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: care right now, it's next time. How excited are you
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that we're too gay games away from the NBA Finals.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: It's funny, you asked, because it was this time last
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: year where my father was turning eighty and I took
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: him to Game one of the Knicks Pacers, and that
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: was when they were up by seventeen in the fourth
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: quarter whatever it was, and Halliburton hit that jumper that
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: bounced up to the roof of Madison Square Garden before
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: coming down. I still don't know how that shot went in.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: And now that night, I said to my father on
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: his eighth birthday, I'm like, the Knicks lost this game
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: and they just lost the series. And that's sort of
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: way that I felt after Game one this year, where
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: the Knicks rallied back from twenty two down with seven
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: plus to go in the fourth quarter, they won the game,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: and they won the series, and that night, in my mind,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: now maybe we'll be proven wrong, I'm gonna guess not.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I think that the series sworn that one night, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I can only imagine what it's going to be like.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: You know, if New York gets to the finals. What's
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: the last time there in the finals against the Spurs, right,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: what year was that?
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Ninety nine, the twenty seven years, And I remember them
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: in the finals against the Rockets the year of the
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: OJ Chase.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Everybody would always remember that. So it's not often that
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: they get there, it's less often that they win there. So,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think everybody in New York, the New
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: York metropolitan area right now is all fired up about
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the Knicks.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Do you think Nick fans are going to be satisfied
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: by just getting there?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Or do they have to win it? Because I'm terrified
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: of Wemby.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, well, that's that's the downside of getting to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: the finals.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: If they get you got to play someone good.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Or the Oklahoma City Thug. Like, both of them are
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: tremendous teams, and I think the Knicks would be underdogs
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: against both, right, Like, would they be favored to be
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: either of those? Deep? No?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: No, no, that would have you taken your dad to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: a game?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: No? No, he's in Florida and hetern eighty last year,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: so no, and no one's invited us this year, So
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: that's the way he kind of goes, Right.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: How often do you get invitations and just close mailed
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to you. I mean, how often does that happen, just
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: like a package shows up in the house that it's just,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you know, a box full.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Of clothing from somebody who wants you to wear their stuff.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I believe that it's the only reason that my wife
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: still remains married to me today, wagging the mail on
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: a regular basis and there's nothing that gets her going
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: quite like swap arrives in the mail that she didn't
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: have to pay for, and I would say it arives
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: on an almost deal, like here's here's our ice cream,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: here's our shirt, here's like maybe unbelievable how much stuff
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: comes in the mail on a regular basis, Like if
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: you had said to me I was growing up, Oh yeah,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: you know, pair of sneakers will arrive in the mail,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Like hey, it's just I can't even believe how much
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: stuff there is that comes in the mail and how
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: much it pleases my wife.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: Adam, do you have do you have a line where
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: you'll draw on the sand of things you won't wear,
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: because I'm imagining as a Michigan alum, if somebody sent
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: you Ohio State stuff, you're not wearing that not publicly.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Now, did I would get all sweated up in it. Yeah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I'm not coming on your show and wearing it on
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: your show, Nor am I wearing it on McAfee.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Has this been?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like I ask you this every year, but
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: from uh, from a news standpoint, has this been the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: busiest off season you've ever experienced?
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: No?
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no like that. It's just the league
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and where it's at. Like every year you know that
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: it's going to be busy, and I don't think this
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: off season is compared to other off seasons. But the
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: what you're what you're touching on is that I believe
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: that the amount of interest in the NFL grows every year. Yes,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: you're really hungry. Anything tastes good, so there are a
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: lot of people that are hungry for information, so they think, oh,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: we never taste anything like this before. But yes, there
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: have been fees, slight, this informational feast served every offseason,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: bigger feast, better feasts. But because people crave it so
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: much these days, it might feel like it's been the busiest,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: but it has not been in any way, shape or form.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: In my mind.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: You would have Adam for as good as Nick fans
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: are feeling. I think Giants fans feel worse because Robertson
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Harris tears his achilles. And then your report where it
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: seems like everybody's unsure when Malik Neighbors is coming back.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: What have you been hearing with that situation?
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: That one I think is problematic in the sense that, again,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: if you just look at it, he's coming off the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: ACL injury, there was the surgery, there was another surgery
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: to address the scar tissue, the stiffness that had developed,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: and now they're saying they're hopeful that he's ready for
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: opening Day. But it's certainly I don't feel like anybody
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: seeing that with any degree of confidence. And so the
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: more that comes out with a player that great, that talented,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: who means that much to the franchise, to me, it
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: sounds like it's ambitious to think that he'll be ready
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: for Opening night right now against the Cowboys, and I'd
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: love to be proven wrong there right now.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Are you surprised Joe Shane received an extension as the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Giants general manager? Is that just a product of the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: two of them spending time together and liking each other.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I think that Joe Shane played it the right way. Okay,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: smart enough to recognize that when John Harbaugh comes in,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do whatever I can to serve him,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: to compliment him, to make sure that he has wherever
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: he needs in getting acclimated and building this roster. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: it's not about me anymore. It's about him. It's his team,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: it's his organization. And I think he was the one
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: that went to Baltimore to pick him up, to initially
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: fly him back to the Giants head quarters for the
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: first and he was the one that spent time with him.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: He was the one who's smart enough to sublimate his
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: ego and recognize that he takes a back seat and
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: everybody takes a back seat to John in that organization.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Right now, he played the right way and he got
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: rewarded for him.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Is Joe Burrow right and saying this is the best
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Bengals team he's ever had since he's been there, he's
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: been to the Super Bowl at him?
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, look if he's wrong during the season, but
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: on paper, it's great that he feels that way now
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: because they got to make him happy. Then they got
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: long term issues, so they they've done what they needed
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: to do this offseason. And we'll see what that means
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: once the regular season begins. But they've had a good offseason.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Adam, have you heard any whispers in Dolphins camp about
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: people feeling worse about Malik Willis after they saw that
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: first pitch by him?
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Pitch goes up there amongst the worst first pitches I've
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: ever seen.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, Steven A.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Smith. Right, I'm trying to think of who else has
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: put themselves on the wall of shame with first pick.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Malik Willis is up there. He believed all the shame
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: with all those other people who have thrown Dona Rye. Yeah, yeah,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: it was not it was. It was not a great pitch,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: but fortunately throwing football is not baseballs.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Right. Have you thrown out of first pitch before?
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I never have, really, I've never been asked to throw
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: at a first pitch. Yes, maybe one day. I wonder
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: what the pressure would be like that comes along with that.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, you seem surprised that you haven't been asked to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: do it yet, And I'm also surprised by it by
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the way someone should have asked you.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: By now, I mean, you're Adam fucking Schefter.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I don't I'm not surprised by that you know, you know,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Stu Gotts, I'm more disappointed that you talked about us
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: going to a Nick game together. That would be a
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: great time. Nobody, nobody, those people are sitting court side.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: All these people that are on those seats like they're
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: showing Steve Levy in some last night on TV. I
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: haven't gotten invited.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Right like if you well, no, but hold on, Levy
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: was court side. There's no way Levy was court side,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: But it looked like he was. He had his son
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: there last night. He put him on TV. Yeah, yes,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: maybe he bought the ticket. I don't know.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: All right, So listen, here's the deal. If you want
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to come to Cleveland. I'm in Chicago right now.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I'll meet you. I'll get you to court side seats,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: me and you in Cleveland if you'd like to do that.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I'm joking.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: If the Knicks make it to the NBA Finals, I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: can't guarantee court side. I will buy me and you
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: two tickets. We will go to a Knicks finals game together.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Is that fair?
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: That'll be fun. That'd be fun.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, but not court side.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: But but do you have Knix connections that you get
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: like upgraded seats. You pay for the seats, but upgrade seats.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, I can get us court side.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, how about this, Let's let's let's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: make this deal. I get us to court side. You
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: pay for the tickets.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Of you know how much those courtside take. It's gonna
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: be for the finals. I do not willing to divest
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: my ira for Knicks Championship.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Take it all right, So let's settle, like on the
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: fifth or sixth row, I'll buy.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, deal, deal, I'm in.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: We're gonna make this happen.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I'm going to a Knicks Finals game
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: with Chapter. I always thought i'd go with my dad,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: but you know what a baling on my dad. I'm
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: going with Jefter.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: That's it, Stu.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: I'm looking on the secondary market right now, and row
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: four across from the nixt bench h one and ninety
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: four thousand dollars.
• 11:42

  Speaker 5: New York City. Patrick Ewing walks in. Jalen Brunson walks in.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: Who gets the table?
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Wow? You know I've had the occasion to meet both
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: individuals and both have been exceedingly generous. Patrick Ewing sat
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: down with my daughter when he was coaching in college
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: basketball at Georgetown and couldn't have been nicer. And the
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: day the next one, the lottery stutsho, that is Nick fans.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: That was like the greatest day ever, right, yes, of course, yes.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Jaylen Brounsey came down to a Monday night football game.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I was in Philadelphia for a Falcons Eagles Monday night
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: game and and Jalen was at our set and we
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: spent about fifteen minutes talking him and his dad and
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: he was really great. So just like I, I didn't
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: give up, I didn't pick JJ, I would to hear
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: these two men that, you know, Jalen the hopes of
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: nixt title knicks titles hopes rest on his shoulders. I'm
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: giving up my seat. I'm buying them both lunch.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: You don't have a seat for crying. Now you're terrible
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: in this game.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know who else in the restaurant, but I'm
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: telling you, get the hell up. We got Patrick, Jewey
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: and Jalen.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: You're kicking someone less important. Chefter's Deli sounds great, like
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: a nice little Jewish deli.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Right, I'm all in for it, So let's go, right.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, Adam, you can only have one. I keep doing that.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: We're putting them in such a bad spot. But Michigan
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: wins the National championship. They just wanted a basketball They
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: win a football national championship, or the Knicks win the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: NBA title, which one nixt Come on, He's thinking, wow,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I mean you just saw Michigan win one.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Well you know what. Michigan's won a football
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: championship a basketball championship. I was fortunate enough to be
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: at both, and in fact, there aren't many people in
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: the face of this earth that have been at both
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Michigan basketball titles Seattle eighty nine, Indianapolis twenty twenty six,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: and I failed to go to the ones that they lost.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: So I my record at Michigan National Championship basketball games
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: just two and zero. So if they earned Detroit in
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: twenty seven, I will have to be there again as
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: their unofficial good luck charm. It's so great when they
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: win the national championship and it brings so much happiness,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: but it has been so long since the next of
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: one one as well. I wouldn't want to deprive anybody
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: in the state of Michigan, nor in the New York
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: we along with a championship. So I would never never
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: prioritize over the other, especially if I'm not giving preferential
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: treatment to Desmond Howard or jaj McCarthy or Patrick Ewing
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: and Jalen Brunson, like I'm not doing that. Like there
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: are too many people that it would mean too much
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: to that. I'm not going to deprive them of any happiness.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: All right, sorright, we get the point. He's lousy at
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: this game.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, were you surprised one year fifty five million dollars?
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: God, that's a lot of money, man.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: You know what, first of we won MVP last year. Yes,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I think it's a rule when you win MVP, you'd
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: probably get your contracted justice and addressed the next up
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: seasons and then just to quinch it, they go and
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: take a quarterback at thirteen. So if the quarterback is
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: a little salty, right how they use their thirteenth overall pick. Well,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: that is just a final reason to address his contract
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: and to make sure that he's happy going to the season.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: They give him the new deal. He's deserving and worthy
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: of that new deal, and they get that taken care
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: of as they should have.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: A question as it relates to Taylor here, would you
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: judge someone at an open bar wedding who steps up
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: to the bar doesn't order any sort of alcohol, only
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: orders a Shirley temple.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: By the way, like that may be me. I'm not
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: going to get a Shoy temple, but I get sparkling
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: water like I don't like drink going to a wedding
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: this freaking in Chicago. If judge the person who orders
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: a Shroy temple, they need to be judging me as well.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: And I hope that nobody cast judgment on the fact
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: that I'm going to an open bar and I'm not
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: getting alcohol.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Taylor, you have found the kidred spirit of my life.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: My point was just that Shirley temples get shamed, and
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: sometimes a Shirley temple, sure the temple just hits the spot.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: No, I got no issues with that at all, right,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: And I applaud it, I approve of it, I respect it. Yeah,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: you know, my wife and I have been together twenty years.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Do you know any times she has seen me intoxicated
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: in twenty years?
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: How many?
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Zero?
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: When's the last time you've been hammered?
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: College? Probably? Yeah, I just don't do it right. It
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: just doesn't happen much anymore. And yeah, like probably should
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: loosen up and I would drink every now and then,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: but I just I don't need it right too happy
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: with that or anyway?
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and you're too busy too. I mean, who
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: has time for drink when you're as busy as you are?
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I gonna get.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Early the next morning. Usually it's like if I drink
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: and we're not gonna feel great the next one, I'd
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: rather just get my day go on the next day
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: and not have to drink. So, you know, Holliday, we
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: can it be a nice reason to drink tonight or
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: at that wedding I'm going to go to tomorrow?
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Probably, Well who's wedding are you going to? Tomorrow?
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Can you tell us one of my college roommate's daughters
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: is getting married in Chicago.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Oh nice, you gotta stroll up to the bar and
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: order a Shirley Temple or what.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Probably stroll to the bar and order a Shirley temple.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Compliments to you guys.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, wait, where is she getting married?
• 20:23

• 20:32
  Speaker 3: What are you in struggle for?
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: So?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I'm currently at Medill right now at Northwestern University. My
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: daughter plays in her fourth Final four today. Northwestern is
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: taken on John Hopkins. Carolina is playing in the early game.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: If Northwestern wins, they play in the championship game in

  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, but I just gave you an out
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: on the wedding.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, but you know I'd love to do that,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: but I'm going to be there for a very brief period,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: like I was supposed to potentially going today, but I'm
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: here because my wife can't go. She's gonna stay by
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: and take care of our dogs. So I'm going one
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: night drink Shroy Pound Schroy Temple's at the bar by myself.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: So if Northwestern doesn't win today'stude, guys, yes, you go
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: home tonight.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Well that's a good question. Because the Knicks are playing
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland. Cleveland is not very far from Chicago. I'm
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: thinking about having Taylor come up here and he and
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I go to game games three and Game four together.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: That'd be pretty awesome, right, Yes.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: And cheaper taking you to MSG. Yes.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: By the way, I'm just trying to think. Actually, my
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: June is really June is very busy. I was gonna say,
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: if you want to go to the road game to
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: see as the New York prices, we can do that too,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: But I just don't know to be able to make
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: it to Oklahoma City or San Antonio.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: No, and I don't want to go to those places.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: So I'm listen, I'm gonna honor it.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm telling you right now, Okay, you and I
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: go into a next game. I don't care what I
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: have to pay. I'll pay it. I'll figure it out.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I'll take out a second mortgage.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: I don't care. There you, Adam.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: What will make my day tomorrow is if you just
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: if you just text us a picture of your Shirley
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Temple and it says sources, I just ordered a Shirley Temple?
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Can you do that?
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Probably get a sparkling war of a splash of like
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: something in there, like splash of like some and a
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: great virtuice or or whatever.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, uh? Are you a guy who will tear
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: up the dance floorida wedding?
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: No?
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: No, will you dance it all?
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Maybe a little bit? Maybe a little Yeah, it's possible. Well,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: you know he used to dance more and drink more.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: In my twenties, right, yes, Are you a guy who's
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: going to like, like, how is this going to be
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a celebrity wedding. I'm just trying to get to the
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: bottom of whose wedding it is really is what I'm
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Celebrity wedding.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: No celebrities.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: I have not been to many, if any, celebrity weddings.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: No, No, it's funny because you know, Mike Ola Junior
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: got engaged, he's going to get married, and we had
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: him on the air. He thinks, now, listen, he's a
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: rookie at this, and perhaps you can explain it to him. Okay,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: he thinks he's going to have a pool party wedding
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: in which everyone could wear bathing suits, including Ed Orgeron.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: He hasn't run this by his wife to be yet.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Can you tell him that's not happening.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: I would say that whatever he thinks he wants and
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: what he thinks he will have meansletely nothing compared to
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: what his wife is thinking and wanting and desiring for
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: her wedding. This is not Mike's wedding day. This is
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: her wedding day. Doesn't matter what Mike wants. Fife wants
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: and I've never met her, but most women I've met
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: have not dreamed of getting married in the pool with
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: everybody swimming and jumping in and doing cannonballs. Most women
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: have envisioned for their wedding day. Now, maybe his wife
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: is different, Is Beyonce is different. That is entirely possible.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: But I'm gonna guess he's going to have a wedding,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: just like you had a wedding, just like I had
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: a wedding, just like everybody else has had a wedding,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: and they're not going to be Withspito's bikinis on.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, I at one point too had a dream of
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: stan Ban Gundy doing a cannon ball into.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: A swimming pool at my wedding, and my wife nuked it.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: But you do agree that if ed Orgeron and Brian
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Kelly were indeed in bathing suit's pool side doing cannonballs,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: it would be the greatest wedding of all time, right.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: It would be an awful fun time. I just don't
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: think it's gonna come off that.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Way, Okay, Nick w and four?
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think four.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Probably fine, gentlemen.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Are you think four? Well?
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I think four. Taylor thinks five.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I think five.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, we're getting carried away. We're getting cocky. We haven't
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: won a game on the road yet.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Played great like they doesn't play great. They played great
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: at the end of game one, they played great in
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: the third quarter on Thursday, and I didn't play great.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: So far Cleveland's been playing with them, so yes, yeah,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: I think I think five games then Cleveland comes out
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: and plays a good game on Saturday, and then New
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: York gets serious and gets it done. That's my guest.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: We'll get you out of here.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: On this note, Taylor thinks it brunts in if the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Knicks win the title, Brunton goes automatically into onto the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Knicks Mount Rushmore.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Do you agree?
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Yes? If they win a title? Absolutely? Now again, who's
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: on there today? I would say today on that Mount Rushmore,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: you're thinking championship, So I'm thinking it's Willis Reed, Dave
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: de Busha, Dave de Busher, Wolf Frasier, Bill Bradley? Like
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: is that? Am? I am? I off there?
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I think the only the only person people would put
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: in there is Patrick Ewing over one of them?
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: That's it?
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, who are you benching? Who are you benching over there?
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: No, it's a good point.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: The four guys you name won a title, so and
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: they were all great players, they weren't you know, they're
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: not slouches here, So I mean, I guess.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: You, I guess I guess Joan makes it. But over
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: which one of those guys?
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: You gave me?
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Who was it?
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: De Busha, Willis Reed, Fraser who was the fourth Bradley.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe Bradley.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe Bradley, Yeah, maybe Bradley. And then if Brunson goes in,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: who's coming off?
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Ewing?
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Right, maybe you're you're not taking Dave Busher off. You're
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: not taking off, You're not tell you yeah, brunts are
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: route like over ewing. But like that's I know it hurts,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: but that's probably what it is.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: You're saying with such pain, and so am I I
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: almost don't want to win the title now.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, by the.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Way, like King should have gotten consideration to be on
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: their time. Great, of course, but there's no postseason success
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: to put in there.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, Taylor thinks the fourteen Days of Insanity should be there.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: No, I don't know. If I get carried away, he
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: was like, no, no, no, no.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: No, no, Now I've gone too far.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Adam. We love you, buddy. It's great to see you. Look,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: See you go to the finals. That's gonna be awesome.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: No, we're going to the finals. And I listen. I
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: didn't want to say this, but I'll say it now. Okay,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: if you're serious about this, I will get us in
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the first fifty rows of that arena.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: But I also sent the text Okay, I sent the.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Text uh to someone at the Knicks, asking if the
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Knicks pull this off, can he get me and shift
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: on the parade wrap?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: And his response was yes, how about that?
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, exactly, exactly.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, I was on the parade rap with Lebron J
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: when the heat won it. I mean I got my way, Schefter,
• 28:02
