God, I really did not start exercising at that point. I look like fucking shit in a basketball jersey. That's the first thing I saw when I saw you on stage, I was like, you look lean. Like your face looks skinny and like in a good way.

I was like, I finally started doing weights, dude. It's why my neck isn't fucked up anymore. But, dude, the Rizler, that was a fucking hilarious game, dude. I still get fucking, I still get shit. Yeah, the Rizler, the crowd went nuts. I mean, you think, they love him. You think, you think, like, Amari or any of these former players get a pop? And then the Rizzler comes out.

You're like, this is the fucking star. He's one of our society is a funny kid. It's broken. The kid's going to be like Drew Barrymore, though. He's going to be fucking, he's going to be fucked up. I mean. Someone had a good point that said he's like, very much like an 80 star, like, celebrity. The difference is he doesn't have a talent.

Yeah. I mean, that's the weird thing is like, usually you have to have some talent. He's got no fucking talent. He just does this shit. Like, we had to, we had to, we had to tell. Greg Fitzsimmons on with him and they were like, but what does he do? And we're like, we can't explain it. Like we try to explain the Rizzler to a

60 year old guy. I was watching it. Explain it. So like, how did you book them? Wait, are we on already? Yeah, we're going. How do we book the Rizzler? We, I don't know. We, yeah, I played in this. We kept thinking how funny the Rizzler is and Mark and I kind of became obsessed with just

a child who's famous for just this and being cute and chubby and we just liked it. And then I played in the MSG game with him. Do we have to check the files for you? The files? You know. Cute chubby kids?

Cute chubby kids. That's my type. No, he was on our team. Bit of a defensive liability. Don't want to call him out. I was like, you got to pick up Amari on defense. Jesus. It's three feet tall. These games are humiliating because like I can't check.

I don't care if he's 50. I'm not checking Alan Houston. The hell is happening. This guy doesn't miss a shot. So you're talking about the. Celebrity Knicks game. Yeah, I use the word celebrity very lightly because I was called. What are you talking about?

You and the Rizzler, big man. Big time. Let's go. Oh, and that boom dad. The guy was like, boom. Big A.J. baby. Bring the boom.

Yeah, my mom. I put my mom and my friend Chase to that game, that, that charity game for Guard of Dreams. And my mom was like, why are they famous? I'm like, it doesn't just forget it. It doesn't matter. The crazy thing is that the social probably popped insane for their channels. Totally.

And they got every bit of what they wanted out of inviting all those people. Oh my God. Look at him. Yeah. True Detective, season four, right there. This is the crew. The Rizzler and Amari. All right.

Let's start this thing. Let's start this thing. Ready? Give you a... Today we are looking at the first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs, 76ers, first the Knicks. Game two. with the one and only

starter of this show. Helped us start this show. Helped us get this show on the go. Killing it right now in the comedy world. We had some memories together. We've had some memories. A lot of memories. Sam Marell is here in the house.

He's back. He's back. Sammy, in one sentence, why did you pick this game? Well, it's a recent playoff game with the Knicks. It's like I'm thinking of my high points as a Knicks fan. The LJ 4.4. play was in contention. I wasn't at that game. I was at this game. So this was like crazy to be at

this game for, you know, Philly, definitely in Northeast rival. And this series really made me hate Joe L. Embedde. Like every Knicks fan's like, fuck, you hear fucking B chants. And there's little kids being like, fuck in B. And you're like, hell yeah. So yeah, I mean, this game was epic. all the analysts always picked the Knicks to lose. Healthy Embed is obviously a problem, but he's never healthy. And it became kind of a dirty series. And B, there's a famous picture of him trying to pull Mitch's leg down. There's the, he kicked Hardinstein and the nuts.

We were down. This game was supposed to be over. And we went up 2-0. So it was a pretty badass start to the playoffs. Is it the greatest game of all time? No. But I wasn't alive for the greatest Knicks game of all time. What is it?

Willis Reed limping out of the court and the Knicks. beating the Lakers in the finals. That's the iconic Knicks game. We haven't won in over 50 years. So as Knicks fans, we'll take a first round playoff game. That's what we take? Hey, we ask all our guests. You know that, you know that.

So what are you doing in L.A.? What's this? Netflix is a joke. How's this been? Dude, it's been a lot. We did the, I was, first year, I was invited to the brunch this year for the Netflix festival. We made it.

You see some really famous people. Oh, what is the Netflix brunch? I've heard about this on social. What is this? It's at Ted Sarandos, his home. So it's like a beautiful, beautiful home. Yeah. Is it overlooking something?

Is it like, does it have views? Are we views? I mean, no, it's like classic LA party where you're like, I've heard of these parties. So we're, we're hidden. Are we hidden? I didn't even know where we were. Exactly the house you want to go to. Yeah.

I was blindfolded. And, no, I got there and it was Eddie Murphy, Seinfeld, Letterman, Sandler, like every big dog in comedy. jelly roll every big comedian and uh but it was pretty cool yeah it was it was wild so what is this it it kind of reminds me of like the owner's meetings yes you know the head coaches all get together at the barbecue at you know j's barbecue or whatever they have the the team photo like who is like who's the big dog running the brunch like who's the comic that everyone's like surrounding who's the guy that you you're this is your first one so you're kind of new Yeah, I mean.

Who's the, who's the big swinging dick in there? It's probably what, Jerry or? All those guys. Sandler? All those guys. Yeah. When you're talking to them, you just feel people like, and it's like a hot girl at the bar.

You're like, I better, I better close quickly here. You're like, I got impressed Sandman here. But, yeah, the Seinfelds,

they offered to fly me back on their jet to New York today. Why didn't you go? Because we're doing this, dude. Let's fucking go. God, love that.

You know what's great about the Seinfelds too? She goes, My friend goes, I'm with my friend Mark Norman. He goes, it was an empty gesture. I go, I don't think it was empty. I think the Seinfeld, we start talking like him. I think the Seinfelds wanted to fly me back. And he goes, it was empty.

I go, it wasn't empty. And then I get back to the hotel and Jessica Seinfeld text me. So you're coming on the jet tomorrow morning. I go, I'm doing Julian Edelman's podcast. I can't. And she writes back, I love him. She follows me. Yeah, she's a fan.

So they got her. Let's go. Let's go. Man. He recently turned us down to come on the show. Jerry did. Hey, we'll get Jesse. You'll get Jerry at some point.

We'll get Jessica. Jerry could hit a Mets game or something. You'll get him at some point. He's a pro's pro. I mean, you know, it's Jerry fucking Seinfeld. It took years of us to like nudge him to get him on our pod, but he did it. It was a great episode. It was a good one.

Jerry's, he's awesome. Classic. Was Chappelle there? He was. Chappelle, so I didn't say anything. I was a little uncomfortable because I recently text him to be the movie that you're in. Julian is, I made a movie. It's going to be on Netflix next year.

Julian is incredible in the movie. He steals. He's so funny in the scene to the point that like I send it to my manager recently a cut. And she goes, holy shit, Julian Edelman. That's the text I get. He's so fucking funny in it. And I took a swing. Chappelle's given me his phone number when he's drunk.

And I'm like, instead of being like he made a mistake, I'm like, time to cash in. So I had an idea that Chappelle bumps my friend in the movie. And I pitched it to him and left. me on red. Wow. So I was like, let me just try to avoid him at this party and the rest of my life. So you didn't say anything to him? No.

He's been very friendly. No, he didn't see me. But I, uh, I'm trying to dodge. He's, he's been very friendly in the past where like he'll see me and stuff. Be like, oh, really funny stuff. And I'm like, oh, yeah. Instead of thinking like, this guy's drunk and probably said that to everyone, I was like, I am pretty funny.

And then, uh, yeah, I threw the Hail Mary text. Oh, my. Hey, you know what if you don't ask? You have to. Amen. You don't ask them yet. What did Jordan say? You miss 100 shots you don't take or is that right?

That's right. That's one of the greats. Yeah. You miss 100% 99% of the shots you don't take. What Chappelle says when he's drinking too. I don't keep, yeah. No, I, yeah, I gave it a shot. But, you know, but the movie's really good.

So what do you do at the brunch? Do you guys just eat? What's the spread? A lot of stress eating. I'm going to be honest. The, it felt like they were pandering a little bit to the black mediums with the spread. Fried chicken, waffles.

I was like, if you get grape juice, I'm going to call you racist. I swear to God, grape soda, sorry. But, you know, it was, I mean, look, who doesn't love fried chicken and waffles? I had a ton of it. It was pretty good. I was hoping for a little more of a brunch spread because it was in the afternoon. It was hot as hell. Louis C.K's eating the fried chicken.

He's sweating through the shirt. I was like, this feels like an episode of Louis. He's just, I'm like, I'm like, Louis. You're sweating everywhere. You've got to wear a dark shirt to these things. But, yeah, no, it was, it was like, who's who is who. It was crazy. Amlet station?

No omelette station. I was hoping for an omelette station. I wanted an omelet. I love an omelette station. Who doesn't love an omelage station? You feel healthy. You get to customize. Customizing is huge.

It's everything. Or even Courtyard Marriott's got an omelette station. Now come on now. Does it? I don't know. Some of those. Some of those do, I swear. But then they hit you with that bill.

Oh. The hotel I'm out right now, it's fine. It's not super fancy or anything, but they had a buffet. And then you get hit with that bill and you're like, oh, this was all you can eat. It was all you. It was price. food is expensive right now. It's crazy. It is outrageous. Wait, is Netflix planned for the hotel? No, but they give you a good, and I'm with Mark, who's the cheap. Mark Norman, one of my best friends, is the cheapest dude on the planet.

So he, oh, it's insane. So he finds a deal. He's like, I got us a deal. So his manager booked my, I'm like, that's not his manager's job. But he's like, book Sam's room too. So I got a deal. Good deal. Yeah, Mark is always working it. Man. So what else do you do in Netflix is a joke? week. I'm doing, apparently I'm doing a crowdwork show for with Burke Kreis. I hate, I'm so sick of crowd work, but I'm doing a crowdwork show for Burke Kreischer. And, uh, it's burden shack. I was like, we'll see what happens. I'm a little nervous.

I've never met Shaq. I was supposed to do his podcast last year and I got COVID and I was like, I don't want to kill Shaq. I feel like if I go there and like, you know, they must have like a big guy. You feel like you get him sick. It could be bad. That was like the thing that came out when, when, I played during COVID.

Yeah. So, like, the thing was, was, you know, how are the big guys going to handle it? If they get COVID on the field, they, we might have someone drop, die and die on the field. Like, it was all because of the big guys, you know, their whole system. Yeah, it was probably bullshit. But I, yeah, I just was like, ah, I don't want to be that. I didn't even feel that bad, but I was like, I don't want to give it. You just feel like a dick if you give it to someone.

Oh, yeah. So you got a diesel. Crowdwork. How do you prepare for crowdware? You can. You just got to read the room, I guess. Yeah. So we did that.

We did the show last night you were at. And I did, uh, I popped up on Mark's show and I, I was supposed to do one of Matt Rife did a show. And I was doing a podcast downstairs at the store. There's too much going on. So Matt's like, I guess said to someone in,

he's like, come up, but we were doing a podcast with Bobby Lee. So I couldn't get out. And, uh, I bailed on that. And then they replaced me with Kevin Hart. So I was like, all right,

you won that trade. That worked out. Uh, and then, uh, yeah, and then I'm out of here tomorrow. I'm,

I'm only here a few days, but L.A. for a few days. It's like it's so much drinking and so much. Like after I saw you guys, I ended up at the store. Yeah. And I saw like every comic was hammered. And I ended up going on stage at 2 a.m.

at the store, uh, store, uh, that was pretty fun. That's got to be fun though. It was a good crowd. Is this a Super Bowl for comedy now?

No, there's no. What is the Super Bowl? Comic Con. No, Comic Con. Is there a comic con? I guess,

uh, no, the Super Bowl. A different type of comic. I guess it's just, just when you do a special. That's like your Super Bowl, you know? So this is kind of, what is this like in the NFL? Is this like draft night? There's no, no, there's no equivalent. It's the week before the Super Bowl. It's the way. All the parties. All the events. No, I just taped a special. So I feel like I

got no material. I feel like I'm in that point right now. And it's like, so this feels like the off season for me right now where, you know, after I taped a special, I was running on the road so hard. My agent was like, please just take, I'm off the, it's a bad sign when your agent is like, stop. So I started. He's like, take time off and just live your life. And then I just got hammered for like a week straight. And my stomach was feeling fucked up and I got an endoscopy. And the doctor's like, you need to stop drinking for at least a month. And I was like, I need the road. The road was keeping me alive. Dude. Yeah. So you're, so how do you prepare now? Like how do you get ready to get new jokes after doing a special? Is it just, you're just part of living?

You live life. You just got to like, that's what all the guys I look up to have told me. They're like, get off the road and live life and get stories and like feel stuff. And yeah, I just tape the new one for Netflix. And then I'm, I've got like maybe 12 minutes of material right now. You know, it takes like a year and a half,

two years to write a new hour. And I feel like, uh, it'll get there. It just, it takes time, man. It's like,

a half two years to make an hour. Yeah, because you just want to make sure it's polished and you want to take it throughout the country. And at this point I go, I tour the world. Like, you know,

I'm going back to Europe this. I went to Europe last year. Where? Last year I did all over Europe. I did like London, Paris, Dublin, Berlin. Amsterdam is always great. I love your, your butch, the butch poster. Yeah, where else?

All over. Liverpool was wild. I had like an all-nighter there. That was- Do any soccer games? I didn't. My buddy runs Newcastle and he used to work for the Knicks. So he offered, but we couldn't make. It's tough.

They keep you on a schedule. I mean, you guys, your comics life is so crazy. You guys are on the road 24-7. Yeah, but you guys are doing the road and you're, like, you're in pain. I mean, it's, it's athlete is, I can't imagine, especially what like the NBA players do, where they're the schedule, the amount of games in the year. It's a lot. It's all crazy.

But then, yeah, and this year I'm going back and I'm doing like starting in Lisbon. I'm going to places I just have never been. I've never been to Poland. I've never been to, I've never been to Vienna. I've never been to Budapest. I've never been to Croatia. Be careful in Poland. Yeah, really?

Auschwitz, bro. Jesus Christ. They're doing it again? I don't know. I mean, have you seen the world lately? No, I know. Oh, my. I feel like the places are anti-Semitic now are like, are almost like surprising.

Like, it's not the places you would just think. No, the, the countries that are, we won't get into this one. Bronx is to try the hamburgers in the gas stations at Poland. That's what he says. Yeah. They're supposed to really good. Damn. Yeah, well, Jules and I are like the two spectators.

this is like a spectrum of what a Jew can look like. Like tall. I remember changing next to Julian when we would bank these shows back in the day and being like, I got to get my fucking life together. You changed next to this guy. You're like, holy shit. He's not talking about my piece. I'm talking about his piece too.

I'm trying to find a way to get my piece to look more like Jules too. Oh my God. No, it's a weird time in the world. It is. It is definitely a weird time. That's why comedy is so great because it gives us a way to get away from everything. It gives us an outlet to laugh at.

at ourselves, laugh at people, and kind of just have that con. Huh? We need it. That's what Ted Sarando's. I talked to him for a bit yesterday. I'd never met him. And he goes, you know, I'll always defend comics because we need comedy. And, you know, you even look at something as terrible as the Holocaust, we got jokes out of it. And I said, almost seems like it was worth it. You know? And now, now you're running around. Netflix is a joke. Yeah. You see every comic. You're a big, ball. knower. You know Ball. Yeah. Who are other comics that know Ball? Other comics, you know Ball. You know them. Santino, Andrew Santino, Dan Soder,

Chris DeStefano, Chris Rock knows Ball. I mean, he's always at games and stuff. And, geez, I'm trying to think. Sandler. Sandler knows Ball. Sandler knows. Sandler's got weird allegiances, though. Sandler's like, Yankees, Jets. That is weird. It's from New Hampshire. New Hampshire. Yeah, but like, yeah, it's usually Yankees' Giants, Mets, Jets.

I mean, thankfully, Yankees, she gets, Mets and Jets is tough. Oh, yeah. I remember walking around the city with Julian, we remember we'd be like tearing it up some nights and people would be like, fuck you. That was me. It's kind of a cool

level of, because like you know you're a beast when you're in another city and they're like, you piece of shit. You fucked up my Sundays. Like he's at that level of like trolling New York fans. But they're always nice at the end. Totally. They always busts. But they always show a level of respect.

No, well, you can. I love the New York fans. We had to respect the Patriots always. I mean, you guys, your teams were incredible, man. Like, have you been seeing the content on these Knicks fans lately against Philly? Yeah, we got to dial it back a little. It's the best. I want to see Sam in one of those sidewalk talk videos.

I'll do it. I love Knicks fans. But like, you got the premature celebrations, like, don't jinx us. Be respectful to these other fan bases. Like, yeah, I hate the Sixers. But I respect Tyrese maxi a lot. Like he's a hell of a player. Edgecom's very good.

I just really don't like Joel and Bede. And some of these Knicks fans, it's like, dude, there's too many, there's too much talk after every game I have to hear. Like I hate these fake fans too, like the Stephen A's who are just trashing the team all year. And then they're like, my Knicks. And we're like, oh, Knicks fans don't like Stephen A. No, I know. Knicks fans look at Stephen A the way.

He's like, is he a Knicks fan? Yes, but he's a Knicks fan the way like Epstein's a Jew. technically, but we're not thrilled about it, you know? He gives us a bad name. There's so much talking. There's so much like every game. It's like, like, are the Knicks fucked? Is Mikhail Bridges worth the five picks?

We did it. So just let it be. And also, they always turn on Mikhail and then what did he do to the Celtics last year? Oh my God. Game one and two. Game five, those, those Jay. Think about Mikhail Bridges' jump shot. It's so weird.

You don't sometimes when he's like in motion, he looks like Kevin Durant. but when he's like catch and shoot, he looks like Bill Cartwright with that weird fucking release. You're like, so you never know what he's going to give you. I mean, so we're feeling good about the Knicks going into this thing.

As long as OG is healthy. If he's healthy, I feel great because OG is our, he's our MVP right now. Get that Amy right. The two-way play of OG out of Nobby is, I mean, I love that guy.

He's got, he's like emotionless. My friend said he was at a dinner with him and he was explaining all the antics of the Knicks and, you know, Brunson's like a psycho just cutting his steak. Josh Hart's like, you know, doing his thing. And then he pans over and OG's got his hood up playing like PSP or something.

He's just locked in. He's like a kid. He's just like, I got to just focus at all times. And I mean, he's, like, reminds me a little bit of Kauai. He's so he's so ice cold. I love him. We'll be right back after this quick break. Get rewarded just for shopping with Simon Plus.

I think, well, I don't know when this episode comes out, but yeah, comes out in two weeks. I feel good about the, yeah, hopefully I feel good about it. You know, Embedd is so good when he's healthy, but he's never healthy. He hasn't been healthy for five straight games in years.

That's insane. It's insane. And he's, it's one of the ultimate, like, sad people might talk. about him the same way you talk about a guy like grand hill or penny hardaway who like should be you know their talent is as good as anyone penny but you know yeah penny so differences penny and grand hill are just way cooler personalities and b it is just such an unlikeable personality to me he's hard to root for oh yeah plus he wears sketches what are we doing does he wears sketches so does he wear so don't oh gee wears okay all right the sketches are cool i think hey how he long wear sketches i won't say anything

about sketches that they wear are kind of cool i think they look better than you think they Yeah, the ones, and Julius Randle does too. We still have love. Julius was on this team that we're talking about in this game. I mean, the Knicks are, yeah, we're... Are we ready? I feel good. Detroit's going to be tough.

Detroit completely owned us this whole series. They've got the toughness, Detroit, to give it a run. But, dude, as every Knicks fan says, everyone's better than Jalen Brunson until it's time to be better than Jalen Brunson. He's unreal. guys remember how much I was hiking. You were talking about five years ago. I was so hyped.

Hiked. I was like, I was like, bye, chill. Here's my logic. A lot of people shat on Brunson when we signed him like he's overpaid, which now is like the funniest thing ever because he took a pay cut to be here. It's one of the best contracts in history.

He's overpaid, whatever. But to me it was like, even if he's just at the level he was in Dallas, he's the best next point guards in Marbury. Even at that level. So even there, I was like,

we got a stud. So I thought his floor was going to be incredible. And then I saw his work ethic and I was like, and also I've talked to some guys who are like he's impossible to guard. Because his combo of just toughness and quickness and footwork. Like he reminds me a little bit of Kobe, just the footwork and the personality, that killer personality. So yeah, I always believe in Brunson. Cat looks unbelievable. OG is a two-way killer, just a monster.

Josh Hart, the Swiss Army knife. I miss a couple guys in this team. We're going to talk about, of course, I miss Hardinstein and Dante and those guys. But, uh, how is this city right now with all the Knicks fever? It's on fire. It's on fire.

Spring. New York is a basketball city. Like you can tell New York's a basketball city because think of what real estate costs in New York and then you can't walk a few blocks without seeing a court. That tells you everything about the, it's in the fabric of the city. We love basketball. So,

uh, when the Knicks are good, it's different than when the Yankees are good, or when the Giants are good or when the, you know, the Rangers are. good. We all,

are never good. The Nets are the ultimate, sad way. Like, you got Kevin Durant, you got Kyrie, you got James Harden, and still people were going to games.

Getting a guy like KD and not, it was like Denzel doing community theater. You're like, what are we doing here? This is such a fucking waste of Kevin Duran, who's like all time, you know? All time.

But insane, you live in New York, your whole life. Do you know any Nets fans? No. And if, and if you know there. There you know.

No. I mean, if you know them, they're like New Jersey Nuff. fans. They grew up in Jersey. And that I can respect. But at that point, you're like, this team moved anyway. I mean, no, the Nets in the early 2000s owned us. I mean, Jason Kidd in his prime, people don't give

him his due as an all-time great point. He was the championship a couple times. He got cooked both times. But that wasn't his fault, man. That team was sick. Kenyon Martin, they, Kenyon Martin and his prime was like a monster. No, they were, they were badass. And they killed us every year. But, no, they've been a joke ever since. Brooklyn, that arena. It's the Liberty's arena, dude. Like, I'll go to a Liberty game. I don't care about the Nets. Man, New York's popping.

You got to explain to me the experience of sitting on the court in Madison Square Guard. I've been denied. Dolan didn't let me go sit there. Because you're a Boston sports legend. He literally denying me. And then I heard he actually denied McAfee. Oh, really? Also, like he, this is like a thing. He doesn't. You guys are in New York sports guys. That's all 1,000%. He won't let you.

come in if you're an opposing fan and sit on the court. And I'm Matthew. Maybe I'm a Dolan guy now. I like that. I like it. I'm into it. How do you, how do you deal with getting your tickets? They let you in your, you know, New York guy. What do you buy in these things? I don't question it. I'm shocked. They let me do it. But yeah, they're just like, they're like, you want to come tonight. I'm like, yeah. So, uh, my boy Chase was at this game with me. He's a huge Knicks fan. He's like a psychotic fan like I am. He's obsessed with Walt Frazier. He's obsessed with just a Knicks culture and every team.

I think that this game, he was rocking a, we always wear this brand bacher back pages. They make funny Nick shirts and stuff and it was a captain clutch. Yeah, look at my boy Chase's right there before he got his hair transplant. So he's gonna be mad at this pick. Do you go Turkey or US?

He went US. Nice. Yeah, he kept a local, but yeah, he's rocking his. And then I'm got the old Stark shirt on, slam, got to rep my boy. I love John Starks was like my childhood hero. I remember you always talking about him.

Starks. And you love Starz. I love seeing him. Courtside nowadays. Oh, he's just the most beloved and he's so nice. And yeah, man, I did a gig for the NYPD at the Garden and not the easiest set I've ever done. But Starks and Marbury were laughing. I was like, that's like gets you through it.

That they're laughing. I'm like, oh, God. And then Chris DeStefano went on after me and just he knew it was a tough gig and he saw me like just do what I could to get him. He opens with like three minutes of like, you guys are heroes to applause. I was like, you pandering cunt. How dare you? I give him so much shit after. But the lineup was like me, Chrissy, Fat Joe, Cindy Lauper,

and John Fogarty from CCR did an hour. And he was 80 years old. He was incredible. He was unreal. But yeah, it was definitely like, the community there is so cool. The Knicks legends are so nice. Like you can't, Walt is the most humble legend,

Walt Frazier. Always looking fresh. Always looking incredible. Are you dapping up Shalomey and Stiller? I've never met Shalem. Stiller's really cool. Stiller's a really nice guy. And I took my mom to a game recently.

And Stiller's just chatting on my mom. I was an old New York lady. So he's chatting her out for a while. Let's go. He's the night. I thought he got a little too much shit for this Met Gala thing. I would never go. But I'm also would probably be a way worse husband than he is.

He's probably going for his wife. That's what he would realize. He had the orange tie. And the friend. He said the friend who owns the table. But I bet his wife's like, I want to go to the Met Gala. We go to, you go to every game. And like, but yeah, if it was...

I heard the explanation. He hasn't been in 10 years. Timothy Shalameh's invited every year because he's Timothy Shalamee. But isn't Stiller really famous? Huh? Stiller's freaking Zoolander. I know. Gaylord Fawker.

Come on, man. The Met, like he hasn't been invited in 10 years. Like, he's only going because a person, his friend, bought a table. Okay. What they do is they sell these tables to like real rich people and they invite people to come with them. It's just a world that I have no interest. in like basketball I have so much interest in and especially the Knicks being good to me there's

no better place in the world than like being in a Knicks game in the playoffs like the energy is just outrageous like yeah sometimes they'll hook me up with tickets but I will buy them also like I I bought I bought tickets on the road for this run and I had to cancel one because of a family emergency but I will go I'm going all the way with this team baby I love this team what's the Mount Rushmore of courtside celebrities for the Knicks or in general let's go Knicks first I mean, you got to get Spike is due just for like being there forever. You guys ever chop it up on the court? I've never talked to Spike.

He's on the other side usually, isn't he? I don't know. I'll go wherever they put me, so I don't know. Never talked to Spike. God, I don't know. Jason Morgan? It's hard to do four because there's so many diehard fans. It's just like always like, you know, Stiller's great, obviously.

Tracy Morgan's great. Cherippa, Edie Falca, all those like, Susie Esmond's hardcore. I like Susie a lot because I saw her at a Rangers game and it was right at the next trade deadline and we both were like not speaking and she's like, what's wrong? And I was like, just worried they're going to trade OG. And she goes, that's why I'm not speaking.

She's like, he's my favorite player. So we were just both freaking out. And I remember talking to one of the Knicks front office guys, he goes, we're not trading. I was like, oh, good. Hell yes. And inside scoops? That's how big Sam he is now.

He's getting inside scoops from the GM. It wasn't a GM, but it was someone in the world and he was like, he's safe. He goes, the Knicks, the Knicks love him too much. I was like, all right, because I'm such a big OG fan. And, yeah, I don't want to trade. I love Kat, too. I don't want to trade anyone.

I like our team. I think, I think this team can do it. So, uh, that's part of being a fan, though. You always, you always believe in the guys. Are you sure Susie going full Susie on the GM if he did trade OG? Yeah, she would be like, you fuck. You four-eyed fuck. Yeah.

Now, we got to ask you about the Giants. Are you been following them at all? Harball? Yeah. I like the hiring. I mean, how do you not like it? You know, I mean, Jesus Christ, he's not banging a reporter. That's a good start already, right?

He's not banging a married pregnant reporter. You got to be like, that's a good move. Hey, just boat trips, man. You know what guys do on their personal time is what they do on their personal time. Just happen to run into each other out of this. You know what? He's the thing about Rabel. He made the Super Bowl.

Like, you can't fire a guy after making the Super Bowl. That's true. Although, what is it with Boston Post? How about I'ma Yodoka? I know, bro. It's not great. It's not great. Is there something in the water in Boston?

I know. The water is a little funky. It ain't great. I love that dirty water. Man. He made, John Farrell, yeah. I think we got a cool young quarterback, a cool young running back. You know, mixed it up this year.

But yeah, I feel good about the Giants. I think it was weird because they were two and four last year before the injuries happened. Right. And it felt like a good two and four because the vibes were good. And when you're young and you're building to something. thing. I think it's cool, you know? So, yeah, I was, I was fine with it. I like the direction they're headed. What do you think? I'm excited for him. I like Jackson Dart. I like that they signed Isaiah likely, a really good tight end, big target down the middle of the field who didn't get utilized a lot

because of Mark Andrews in Baltimore. So he has a lot of juice. Actually have him on my fantasy team. So John Harbaugh, if you're listening, please. He's a Boston guy. Huh? He's a Boston guy. Yeah, he went to, uh, Amber. He would he go to coastal Carolina, but he's from Boston. Everett? Yeah, I believe so. You got some Boston badass as in New York. Cam Schlittler from the Yankees, Boston guy. Yeah. That guy's a killer. Oh, yeah, no, yeah. I just met who's that young, the young stud for the Boston Red Sox? I met him

at Strega. Roman Anthony? Hey, Roman Anthony. You guys, he's 21 years old, dude. It's so crazy seeing these athletes now, isn't it? They look like, do they look like kids do you? Oh, yeah. I feel like I'm too old to be like, do better. You feel so weird. Like now it's it's to a point where You know we're both hitting 40 here I know man soon and

And these guys are like damn near 20 years younger than you Yeah it makes you feel like a loser I know it's weird to be like yeah good kid good kid I barely made it to the bagel shop I'm like you need to run faster on the court Yeah it's sad It is sad now let's get into some comedy craft talk What's one of your favorite jokes that never worked

I got a couple Okay I got two I'll give you two One is it never really works. In one week, I had maybe my three favorite standups compliment this one joke and it still never worked. It was a tell Chris Rock and Louis C.K. All were like, that's a good joke. And the joke never, it just wouldn't work.

The joke is my friend. No, this is a joke. I was dating a girl and she was always cleaning up after me. And I didn't ask her, do she'd just be clean up? God, you're a slob. Why don't you hire a cleaning lady? And I say the same reason I'm going to prostitute. You're crushing it.

You got to read the city. Never worked. I liked it. I love that. I'd want also about my biological dad and my, I was raised by my stepdad and he, you know, had to legally adopt. That's the whole thing. You know, you have to sign, you have to get the biological father's signature so that you

can legally adopt. So it's kind of like the opposite of a UPS package. You're like, here's my signature. And I do not want this. It's another one. I think people got too sad. You know, I like,

both of those are great. You guys know me. That's right. I'm like, I'm okay. I think people are like, are you okay? I'm like,

of course I'm okay. I'm joking about it. So I'm actually, I lucked out, you know, the way I was raised. But those are two that I feel like I liked.

And, but just because you like it doesn't mean it's going to totally make the hour. No, no. What's one of your favorite jokes that you've heard

from another comedian lately? Lately? Lately. Oh, okay. Damn. Or just ever. Or ever. Any Davidel joke. Davidel is the funniest dude I've ever, you know, Chris Rock, Davidel like always kind of, oh, I love, I love Greg Geraldo, RIP. I thought he was so great.

So he had a joke I love about the Civil War letters, about how he read a book and all the Civil War letters written. The kids in war, they're like 15. They'd be like, they all sounded like, you know, these worldly men, but they were like 15 in war like, my dearest Hannah, the morn finds me wrath by the fire at pangs of your absence. I bear your cherished memory with me as I fight the tyranny of I battle the forces of tyranny and oppression and then he goes, think what your normal letter now sounds from a guy in like Iraq.

Dear Marie, it is hot as fuck out here. My balls are sweaty because I'm in the dessert. That always got me. The dessert got me good. So that one, I love jokes that are like really smart and really stupid at the same time. So that one always got me. Any of Rocks, you know, like those two 90 specials

from Rock like I think are like all time. Atel, one of my favorite jokes ever is David Tell. We remember when you're young and you think your dad is Superman, but then you grew up and you realize he's just a drunk who wears a cape. Just like, because that's like, that's like a profound sentence.

That's brilliant, but it's also the silliest and dumbest. Like, I love that. Any Atel, I tell us so many jokes he just like threw out that I'm like, I would have been so proud to write that joke. And he's like,

yeah, it's not good. But yeah, he had one about, he had one of his last special that just killed me about, he's in the subway sandwich shop and it's just him and the sandwich guy and he goes, hey, take the gloves off.

I don't know why that just killed me. I was like, yeah, just the silliest fucking joke. So yeah, any Attel, Intel just throws away jokes. I'm like, that'd be any comics like favorite joke. And I pop in, I'm like, he's still the funniest comic ever to me. Jersey mics.

Oh, God. I love Jersey mics, dude. I've never had it. It's so good. It's so good. I think. I think it's like, and you get cheese egg?

Oh, dude, I love, I love all the Jersey mics, man. Got out of Mike's way. I was a Subway kid. Yeah, I was too,

but I'll be honest, I was always so much more pumped if I was like anywhere I saw Quiznos. Quiznos hit so much hard. Subway had the branding. They had Jared, for sure,

who at the time we thought was a great dude. We love Jared after that. We all fell for it. We all fell for Jared's kind eyes, but it turns out they weren't kind. Not at all. Turns out he was a pedophile. That guy,

bad guy, Jared. But, uh, no, that, uh, I mean, and they had Clay Henry for a minute. Remember that guy? Got real big on burgers and fries, but now he's down to a smaller size. They were really pushing it as a health food item subway. That's how they got it. I thought it was, I thought it was healthy. That's why I ate it was a weight though. He did lose the weight. Didn't Jerry even think about that. He's a 12 foot hoagie. How was it healthy? It was like, he was like, this is bullshit. I was

like, oh yeah. It is a 12 foot piece of bread. And we thought now it was actually like anti-car. That was, that was I ate at all. I loved subway, dude. But it. But Same. What is the other ones though? Blimpy. There's another. There's Jersey mics. Blipies.

Jimmy Johns. Jimmy Johns is good too. Jimmy Johns was getting big when I was in college. Look, I like them all. I liked them all. I liked them all. But Jersey mics kind of to be was,

that was the most pub for for sure. It stuck around too. All right. Before we jump into the time the place, the game took place, let's do a little athlete association with some comics. Okay.

I'm going to give you a comics name. You tell me what athlete they remind you of. Okay. All right. Let's go Mark Norman, your best friend. Ooh, Mark, an athlete. This is a tough one. I mean,

the first one that jumped out, the first one that jumped out to me is like Tony Hawk, because Mark is a skater. Yeah. That's the only skater. He's a good skater. He's a good skater. Tony Hawk even, like, gave him some props.

Tony Hawk gave him props, which, like, made his day. Mark is so new to sports. Like, he's not, he's in a sports now because of me. So, like, I got him in a, in the Knicks. He watches games now on the road.

He gets pumped. That's a good comp though. An extreme sport guy? No fear either. He's at no fear. Tony Hawk didn't have any fear. Mark says whatever. Mark's also like relentless.

So he's got like a little bit of like Cal Ripkin in him. Oh, I like that. Never missed a game. Cow Ripkin. Iron man. Norman, Norman doesn't say no to anything to his detriment. So he's like in the he's those two. That's Cal Ripkin and Tony Hall.

Kevin Costner. What about Joe List? Joe List. He was great last night too. Joe List. Yeah, craftsman. Joe's like a craftsman. So he's like just, you know, for some reason it's popping in my head is like a Ray Allen. Because he's a Boston guy. Ray Allen's a pure shooter. But he can do other stuff too. Like Ray Allen wasn't just a shooter.

People forget he was also like bucks Ray Allen had handles. He was fucking, I mean. He can drive baseline on you kids. I love the shit out of Denzel. So I said, did you see? I saw recently Spike Lee talking about the game that I love that you saw that yeah with Denzel he wouldn't he wouldn't get skunked or he wouldn't get skunked I kind of love that Denzel is just like he's just yeah he's supposed to lose 11-0 and he got game and Denzel just started scoring and Ray Allen's

like what the fuck he's never been a movie she was like what the fuck's happening and Denzel's like I'm a list I'm a fucking losing by 11 but yeah I love that that made me just love you know like Denzel and Nicholson are like those two iconic type guys we really like you know they love hoops. You know that like it means something to them. I love, like I remember reading the Chinatown book, The Big Goodbye and Nicholson's like a psycho like Polanski's trying to call him to said.

And he's like it's the fucking playoffs. Yeah, like a TV in the trailer. Yeah. I love that. What, uh, DeVito came on here. Whoa. And he told us a story where they were doing what did it?

Cuckoo's Nest. They were doing Cuckoo's Nasty. He's martini. Martini, all-timer. He was doing it in Portland and John or and, uh, Jack. Jack. asked him to go to the Portland Trailblazer game and this was before

if DeVito was like anyone. Wow. And he's like, fuck you, I'm going Jack Nichols. I'm going to Lakers game or a ball game. It goes there and he said it was just like a spectacle when he walked in. Everyone, you know, he's fucking Jack, you know, so everyone knows him. He's got, he's the A's A's of lists. And basketball wasn't what it is now. No. Like Nicholson

like, he was on the ground floor. He was ground floor. He walked in getting standing ovation he's on the jumbo tron and fucking DeVito right before the kick or the tip off spills his coke all over the floor and like they had to

pause the game everyone's looking at him he's embarrassed as a shit and Jack's playing it cool they had to stop the game to clean it Danny DeVito you're freaking idiot what do you do no he goes like this they finish it up

and I guess he looks at him he goes A D, you want another Coke? You know, it was fucking insane. That's the fear. Like, you feel so blessed to be down there, but then you're like, don't fuck up somehow. You know, like, we've all seen that Larry David episode where he stretch his leg.

Like, don't do that shit. Tracy Morgan threw up all that. And that was awful. That was crazy. Man, I feel bad for Tracy. We'll be right back after this quick break. Get rewarded just for shopping with Simon Plus. Don't miss Memorial Day sales at Simon,

I mean, I feel bad, but the first name that popped.

that was Tony Sir Gusto. That was just 100%. Because he's a Baltimore Ravens. It's just because of the Ravens. It's just works. It's Janus meets Sir Gus. Because Janus is a Greek freak and so is stuff. So you got to give Stavves of session with Yanis.

I love. So I just associate him with like a Raven and Janus probably. Bill Burr. Oh, he's like old school. He's like an old baseball guy. For some reason, this is weird that first name, but like he's a boss guy for some reason. It's weird because they both.

were Yankees too, but the two names that popped into my head were Boggs and Clemens. I was just going to say way Boggs. Yeah. Because Clemens, I'm in a hot head. So is Burr. Oh, yeah. Like, don't piss off either of them. Like, Clemens will fucking throw a bat at you, Piazza. That's Burr, like, I piss bur off where I'm just like, this sucks. It does. You're just yelling at you. You're like, dude, what I, I made a fucking, I remember I did

his podcast once and we were, I made it, I, I, I poked him. But I didn't know he's going to snap this hard where, uh, you'll hate this too. I said that one fucking Seahawks Super Bowl The Patriots guy, that was a lucky one. And he goes, what the fuck? And I was like, oh boy, turned into 20 minutes of him just screaming at me. I'm like, I just mean it was lucky because they had Marshauna.

They didn't run it. And he goes, they fucking prep for that every fucking day of the year. And it got to a point where I turned to his producer like, and the producers went, I was like, yeah, it was 20 minutes of bird just screaming at the top of his lungs. Yeah. And at a certain point, I'd just be like, Bill, I'm just a fan. I don't really care.

I was just poking you and he's like, yeah. I didn't even poke him and he came in here for the first 20 minutes and made fun of my shoes, Colin, pretty much insinuating that I was gay or a nurse. Perhaps a gay nurse. There's no escaping it. Those bossy guys, boom bird, Bobby Kelly, that whole era of like Colin Quinn, Keith Robinson is the filling of it. All those guys, you can't get out of a beating.

I don't know how it came up. No matter how hard you turn it with. I don't know. Are those fucking nurse shoes that does exactly what you did? Just goes in on the shoes kills me. Love Bill Burr. Shane Gillis. Okay, this is a weird one because he's not, he's a Philly guy, Shane.

Right. But I'm giving him Babe Ruth. Because Shane is an Ironman with drinking and he still delivers. That's what Babe Ruth was. You're like, you're the best right now and you're still fucking hammered. So I go to Shane. You know what he does that really fucking annoys? By the way, he texts me after this game because of Philly that we're going to talk about.

Oh, yeah. He goes, fuck you. That was a foul on Josh Harden Brunson. And I had to be like, it probably was. I was like, no, it wasn't. But it was. He's right. And, yeah, so Shane, I go Babe Ruth.

Shane does a thing that I hate with drinkers. He counts your drinks. He's bigger than me. So yes, he can drink way more than me. He's so much bigger than us. Does he know ball? Yeah, he knows ball. Shane knows everything.

But I feel like Sixers are like his fourth favorite Philly team in all honesty. When I think Shane, I don't really think Sixers. He is a fan for sure. Like he loves Embed and he loves a team. But I feel like Shane is. like Eagles, Phillies and Flyers before the sixers in terms of his fandom. And he would admit that probably. But yeah, Shane is, he counts your beers.

She'll be like, you're almost done with that one, right? Get him another. I'm just like, oh, God, I remember I was at competition. I remember I was at something once in Nashville. And Shane just happened to be there. And there was like a private post Malone concert that I, the bus and guys brought me to it. Oh, nice. They brought me to, they're like, you want to come with?

And I was like, okay. Shane's there. every time he would like feel your beer it's getting light. It was the butt lights that are even like covers so you can't see where you're at. He could just tell it was almost done. I'm like, dude,

I got a fucking 6 a.m. flight. He's like, one more, more. He gets you hammered every time. He's Babe Ruth. I mean, we were hanging with him that. We got hammered. We got hammered. He didn't do us any favors.

No. What about Dan Soder? That's a good one. Soder is, uh, Niners. Yeah, I think nineers and nuggets. So it's weird. We had them on,

the whole step dad living in here. Yeah, it's weird. That's a weird combo. He's a wrestling guy too. He loves wrestling guy. God, that's true. Yeah, I mean, it's tough because I don't know if this is totally accurate. I always think macho man with Soda because he does the incredible macho.

So do it. Soda is like one of those comics where he could have just done impressions in his act and become huge from it, but he didn't want to. It's like the Jim Carrey thing where it's like Jim Carrey can do all these great impressions, but then he doesn't even need to because Soder's material is so good too. So, I mean, damn, I think like Niners like Montana and Rice, but then I also think like a little yokic and a little macho man. It's like I can't pin down one with soda.

What about St. Oh, another mechanics guy. Nah, Yogi Berra? Yogi Berra? No, who? Well, you can't give a Mets guy, Yankees guy. I feel like I can't give him. I can't say Keith Hernandez.

He popped into my head. I just watched that episode. Not, I was going to say Daryl Strawberry, no. no he's good to his wife Piazza Piazza's oh I love Mike I'm a Yankees fan but I love Piazza I think everyone did

How about how about Shia La Buffke calling him out the other week You remember that? That's right Yeah Mike P called out Mike Piazza He didn't give him an autograph When he was a kid That will fucking hurt you

I remember Clarence Weatherspoon did that to me As a kid and it hurt But then I also remember the Knicks Who were like cool to me as a kid And like Alan Houston was really cool Oh yeah So was I remember a couple guys not doing it

And I don't want to call him out Because there's probably been a time or, but if it was a kid, you pretty much always signed, but you never know. You never know. It was Phil Mickelson for me. Turn me down.

Really? Yeah. Turn out, he's a dick anyways. He turned you down, but not the Saudis. That's got to hurt. Damn, that's, uh, you know, uh,

I'm trying to think, Seinfeld's definitely another, like, ledge. You've got to be a legend. Yeah, it's like, I'm thinking of like old school, like, it's almost like,

this is a weird one for Jerry, but I almost feel like it's a, uh, like a Kareem or something. Yeah. Because the Skyhook, he invented a new thing. Jerry kind of invented a new style stand-up. Jerry was, you know,

he would give credit to like Jay Leno and Robert Klein and stuff. But, I mean, I feel like people sometimes like give Jerry shit like his style, but I'm like, dude, he invented that style. He really kind of did. And he's still doing it at the high level. So, yeah, and it's still at a high level. So, like, to me, it's like the sky. hook's timeless. I think Jerry Stiles

timeless. So I'll give him that. Just saw an in living color clip of Jim Carrey doing Seinfeld in the back alley. Have you seen that clip? No, I haven't seen it. It's on the living color. He's got like Costanza guy and he's like trying to

I don't know. I can't tell the story. I'm not good enough. But it was funny. Don't look it up. Let's go look it up. All right, let's go back into time where the game took place. This game took place April 22nd, 2024, not too far ago. Not too far ago. Not too long ago. Yeah, pretty recently.

And some of the pop culture, we got Civil War was number one movie. Never saw it. It was like an 824 movie. Yeah. I heard it was good. I think it just depressed me too much. I mean, yeah, I don't want to. That's too real. That title just sounds like, I don't want to sit through this shit. But I heard it was about a reporter. It's about like the reporter's perspective on the tragedies of what's going on. So it was kind of, it was, it was fun. It was hard. It was good perspective to like look into like what the people capturing the war look like.

Yeah. Too real. I couldn't get, I couldn't get amped up on it. Yeah, it was hard. It's like seeing a movie called your dick doesn't work as well as it used to. Too real. Yeah, but it's 824.

Number one, it's too sweet. It's 824 and it's got Robert Pattinson in it. Like, all right, maybe I'll see it. Take this blue pill. Just a lot of apologizing the whole movie. He's like, sorry. It's not usually like that. I remember that song too sweet.

That's a cool song. It's a good song. I like it. Did you watch the Dune's, Dune 2? I didn't see the second. I saw the first. Pretty good.

I liked it. Yeah, it was fun. It's not my, I feel like I'd never got into the books and I feel like a lot of the people are into the books. But I, I,

yeah, Shalama is good. He's a good actor. I don't like sci-fi stuff and I didn't read the books, but I still liked them. That's what I heard. I heard they're cool.

The second one is cool. They're visually pleasing. It's like a Star Wars kind of thing. I love Star Wars. You know what I mean? Who doesn't love Star Wars? I love Star Wars. They made too many.

I liked the original's the best, but like, I thought the new one where they all die was cool. Do you see that one? Yeah. That was the best. I think that's really good. I just watched the whole timeline. They all die, guys. Just watch the whole timeline with Lily.

She's getting into it. Star Wars? Nine years old. That's such a cool time, man. That's such a cool that you get to. But we went from episode. We did it in chronological order. So we started when Anakin was.

little boy and turn into Darth Vader and all started because there's a fucking meme going around of Darth Vader around her school. She's like, dad, I want to watch the Star Wars. What is this? This guy's so creepy. And then she falls in love with Anakin and then he turns into Darth Vader. She's like, what? What's going on? I'm going to prepare for relationships in life. Exactly. Exactly. You think he's sweet, but he turns out to be a piece of shit. The new Anakin's going to be the Rizzler in the next series. Yeah, what's wrong with this guy? Oh, so what were you doing in 2024? around this time. You just had Amazon.

Yeah, I just taped an Amazon special, which is I think gonna be on my YouTube channel in July so if you don't have Amazon. Yeah, I like that one. That was a cool one. I like that. I like my new ones, I think is better.

I like my new one a little better. They're all good. Thanks, man. Yeah, I like the Amazon one. That was fun. So, 2024. Fallout came out.

I never, I watched like an episode or two. I couldn't get into it. I love that actor, Walton God. Guggins. I couldn't get into it. It's hard to get into shows.

I mean, I just watch movies. because if I don't like the movie, I'm like, that's an hour and a half. But some of these new shows, it's a commitment issue. It really is. Like, that's why I'll, I know I'm going to fall asleep within 25 minutes. Yeah. So I'm not going to start a whole series.

It's going to take me five nights to watch one episode. I might as well just do a movie. Yeah. It's crazy. Sam says that the last two series I've invested in only because of Gaggans, White Lotus and this fallout. If Gaggans won't watch either. It's huge with the video game peeps.

Yeah, and I didn't even play the video games. Yeah. I'm just here for Gaggins. I'm watching the 1923 right now. Oh, I heard that's good. I like it. He's a good guy. I like Sheridan.

Yeah. Oh, man, one of my favorite movies, He's He's Heller High Water. He wrote that? Underrated. He's got a niche right now. Wind River.

Awesome. That whole little like country thing going on. He's cool as hell. I like his stuff. It's like, show Yellowstone will turn you into a Republican. They're just like, they're trying to take this white guy's land.

This is messed up. No, he's a, he's a, the other one he did Wind River was amazing. Awesome. I think he's made some, Caitlin Clark came out.

Number one. Number one. That's another way to say that. Oh, shit. Yeah. Caitlin's heart went to the WMBA. Oh, she's awesome. Number one, baby.

Seriously, she's brought in so many eyeballs to the league. And they just got their. Getting everybody paid. Everyone's getting paid now. Unbelievable. Yeah, she's a killer. Yeah, the Liberty are, they disappointed in the playoffs last year. I love Sabrina.

Are you watching WMBA? Yeah, I'll go to games sometimes. I think it's fun. I like Sabrina, Brianna Stewart's amazing. Oh, Stuart. You know, John Kell Jones. I like their team. I think they've, they won the title the year after this, I think.

So, yeah, they got eliminated this year and the ACEs won last year, but yeah, the Liberty of the year before. Yeah, I'm into it. The season's kicking off here soon? Does the respect level just go through it? Like, when you're sitting on the court watching these, I mean, these girls are huge. They're like six foot six. Yeah.

I mean, it's real basketball. How is it? That's probably where, that's where I always get my sense of how the sports. sport is when you get to see it up close in person, nothing like that in basketball. How is it with the W. They're awesome, man. Sabrina's a shooter. It's crazy. I think she went one for 19 in the game they won the championship. So it's crazy to shoot that. You're like maybe the best shooter in the league and you just shoot like absolute shit, but they still won. So, uh, I work out with her with Sabrina. Yeah, she's awesome. She's over at Churchill everyone. A few years back,

she used to come there a bunch doing her rehab. She's a monster. Just all her exercise. It's so, she's really like discipline, determine. Yeah, it's growing. I think the league's growing. It's good. It's like, you know, and, uh, did the Celtics won NBA championship? Didn't you just hang out with Jalen Brown recently?

It was a while. I would, I did some fashion show at, uh, at the Apollo. My two things. Fashion and the Apollo. Uh, and it went as well as you think it did. Uh, I, yeah, I did not open on a good, about showtime at the Apollo. It's Super did it.

Oh, nice. Yeah. he puts you in his clothes and he put me like a giant fur coat. I was sweating. I think my opener was, may I haven't sweat like this since I had unprotected sex with that QAnon chick. Silence. I was like,

oh boy. So I'm just trying to like fucking get him back. And not my crowd. And then you bomb. And then Jalen Brown from the team you hate walks in the room. Like how could this night get any worse? Give you the look at to be awesome. He was like,

he was like, he was so nice. And he was like, dude, that was, I thought he was going to be like, you suck. But he was like, that was really funny. And then I was like,

thank you, but fuck the Celtics. And he was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And I was like, Brunson's going to get you. And he was like, Brunson's really good. But then he was like, but we're going to beat him. And he was, he was so nice. He was actually a really cool guy. He's awesome.

I love Jim. Jay, the comedian who's legitimately obsessed with Jalen Brown. So Sam J. Had her on the part. She's obsessed with Jalen Brown. So that was, that was cool to see her so happy. Man, boy. Finger on out.

Yeah. All right. Let's jump into these Philadelphia 76ers, Jack. All right, let's get into these sixers, 20-24-sixers. A lot of similarities to these current sixers, 47 and 35, Nick Nurse, first year of the Nick Nurse era.

Remember, Doc was there before that. Nick Nurse is so annoying. He's really annoying. He just only, he just complains nonstop. Incredibly annoying. Yeah. Body language, facial expressions. Everything about Nick Nurse really annoys me.

I'm sorry, when you're already unlikable and you have a chin goatee, it's not helping your case, you know? And I, I mean, I will give him this. He was a coach on one of the coolest team. that won a chip in the last 20. I think the two coolest chips of the last 25 years in the NBA

are the Dallas Mavs Dirk chip and the Kauai Toronto Raptors chip and he was a coach of the Raptors team. So I got to give him that. That road for... We were just talking about that. It's the craziest road maybe ever because, yeah, I mean,

but Dirk is like, how do you not love Dirk? The coolest. Pau and Kobe. Brandon Roy and Aldridge. He swept the defending champs. which is insane. And then it was the young OKC Thunder. Yes, with Hardin Westbrook and Dr.

It was the next year they went to the finals. But yeah, and then he took down the fucking the heedles. That is unbelievable. What a run. People don't give Durk enough credit for that. No. Absolutely insane. Back to these Sixers.

They were 17th in total off and 16th. The Devin was right there in the middle of the pack. Started out hot. Then, of course, 2913 dropped a little in January because of course, in Bede hurt. Nothing new there. when 11 and 22 without him. Tores Mnftius, but he'd come back.

This was Tyrese's real breakout season. One most improved player and really solidified himself is the star that he is today. He's unreal. And you can't hate on him. Like, as I said about Embedde, I never liked Embedd because of like, you know, the complaining and the flop, he flops.

And I know people are going to like, you root for Jalen Brunson. He doesn't flop a quarter as much as Joel Embed. And he's half his size. I mean, when you're 7-1, 300 pounds and you're flopping, Like it's it makes you unlikable. And I can't deny his talent, but Maxie just to me seems like a more likable star. Like he's just, he's incredible. How annoying are our Philly fans?

They're tough, man. I mean, I'm dreading the comments for this episode. Like I should have been, they're probably going to docks my family, these fucking people. They're animals. Like the Pacers fans are annoying, but they're less annoying. Philly fans are, I would say, as tough as it gets. I was a very unique rivalry for you. That's very specific Nix Pacers.

Yeah, well, the weird thing is like, Knicks, Philly, and Celtics. I feel like the fan bases all kind of hate each other. Right. But I have this weird thing with like, I like performing in Philly. I like Philly people. I think they're all very similar people.

Yeah, well, that's the thing I do. Amazon special. I taped it in Boston. I love Boston. The Wilbur. Which there? I tape the Wilbur. Yeah.

I always have love performing in Boston. Boston people to me are like, so they're funny. They're funny is in their fucking bones. Like that kind of Irish Catholic, like this, fucking cack suck. Like that energy is always funny.

And it always gets a laugh. So I just, I love Boston people. I love Philly people. But I mean, this is this fan base is tough. Now when you look at this team, what are you looking at?

What two players? What two players? I mean, yeah, it's in B&MACSI. Obviously, Tobias Harris has had kind of a sneaky good career. But he didn't scare us in this series.

Kelly Ubray played very good defense on Brunson, you know, long defender, but Brunson still cooked them in this series. Like the last few games, he was just dry. Yeah, it was like 36 a game in this series. And yeah, Buddy Heald kind of looks like fucking Simple Jack a little bit with that teeth.

Big Jomper's. Yeah. Amazing shooter though, Buddy Heald. And no, this team doesn't really, they obviously at full strength with MVP level Embed, they're scary, but Embedde is, as I said, never really healthy. Does he piss you off more than any other NBA player, Embeddead? He's up there.

I'd say it's like him and Halliburton, but I can't call, as annoying as Halliburton is, I can't call him unethical. And Beat feels unethical. Halliburton's more of just like, you don't know how to defend him because he's so unorthodox. That shot looks weird and he's clutch.

So Halliburton's really annoying. I don't like him. I don't like him beat. Obviously, we all think Tray Young's annoying. The Hawks team we just beat wasn't that unlikable, though. No, it's weird to see them without him. They were trying to turn CJ McCollum into a villain. And I was like,

he seems kind of cool. always like CJ. Like in the presser, he's like, I'm a nice guy. I have a family. I have a family. You're like, so what, what? I don't have kids. I'm a piece of shit.

What the hell does that mean? Father of one here? Yeah. I mean, what the hell? Trey Young was such a great foil to the New York. I just loved. I just loved that sidewalk. DC, which makes me so happy.

He's rotting away. Rotting away in D.C., see you buddy. Golly. Jackie, jump into these. It really was. Unbelievable. Let's get it. Sammy, you help me out here with these guys.

But 50 and 32, first time when in 50. games since 2012. This was when Tibbs was in his third year back in the Tibbs era. Big trade with Toronto this year, a guy we talked about earlier, picked up OG, had to get rid of quickly RJ Barrett in a second round. That hurt. That hurt. I mean, quickly.

Quickly. I love RJ and quickly. And quickly, I remember, wrote like this Players Tribune piece. Yep. And it made me like, oh, I love that guy. Like I think he's, he reminds me of Maxie. I know they're boys that they both went to Kentucky, I think. And quickly actually reminds me a lot of Maxie.

They both play the game with a lot of joy. They're both incredibly likable. They're both really, really talented. So losing quickly, that hurt for sure. But the moment we made that trade, I was like, I love the move. I just thought OG was going to be a stud. I thought he was exactly what we were missing. Like 90s Knicks were all about defense.

We were missing a shutdown guy. So yeah, OG was incredible. And the sad thing is we never got to see this team at full strength because Randall was so fucking good for us. and in this run when we had the starting lineup of Hardenstein, Randall, OG, Dante, was it Dante or it was either Dante or Hart starting in Brunson? It was Dante and Hart was off the bench, I guess. And Mitch off the bench, like, holy shit, we're fucking, we're pretty tough, you know?

So, yeah, I mean, we never saw this team at full strength because of Randall's shoulder. We'll be right back after this quick break. Get rewarded just. for shopping with Simon Plus.

I adored Isaiah Hardinstein. He was one of my favorite Writers.

Got a good Jew name too. Yeah, he's not a Jew. He's actually, he's blacked actually. Yeah, he's a light's not there on black shoes. We got Amari, but he is a I have fears. Shout out. Hardinstein was a great player, man.

I mean, he did everything we loved. Hard defender, beautiful teardrop, amazing passer. Played really well with Brunson. So, yeah, we miss Hardinstein. and uh... Devinchenzo, we can't not talk about this fucking guy

who balls out this game. Dante, speedy recovery. We still love Dante and Julius in Minnesota. But yeah, Dante was just the big ragu, the flamethrower.

Like, how do you not love this dude? All heart. This was that V1 of the Nova Knicks, man. This was it. I had a good Villa's shirt. Good fellows,

but it was good villas. It was Hart Brunson and Dante. And now they make it with Michaele. How was you say, then you had in Michaela? But, yeah, no,

we never got to see the four, the four V'll, Villanova guys together. But yeah, Dante was, he was big time. He was awesome. Now, when did you fall in love with this specific Knicks team that pretty much is transformed into what they are today? When did you know that this team was going to be?

Because this is when they all started knocking off. And Nick started being good. Well, it started with Julius Randall. And your Brunson take started to sound good. You got to respect Randall for coming here. You know, we, there was all that talk that the Knicks were going to get K.D., Kyrie and Zion. That was all the memes.

And then we didn't get. any of them. We got Julius Randall. There's a Greek freak talk. And we got like, and what? And then the Greek freak talked to New York was somewhere in there. I was part of the Greek freak talk. I did his benefit with Hussein and I was like, he was like, you a Bucks fan? I was like, no, I'm a Knicks fan. He was just like, and I was like, I'm a New Yorker, dude. And he was like, well, I might end up here next free agency. So I went everywhere. I was going to like part of my take. I was like, Yonista the

Knicks confirmed. And literally every fan was like, shut the fuck up, you idiot. And, And, you know, I was all hyped for Janus, but I liked the way things worked out. And Randall, we were foreseed with Randall. You know, we didn't have a lot of young players in that team. But then the year after we got Brunson and that's when it, that's when I was like, this is something. This is it. Yeah, for sure.

What a squad. And then a little foreshadowing here, a little foreshadowing, deep cut stat. First and offensive rebound rate is Nick's team. But we had Hardenstein. We had Mitch and Josh Hart is like the best rebounding guard in the league. I mean, this was, it was a tough, that's why I said this team never got, because we couldn't resign Hardinstein.

So we never got to see this team at full strength. And I think this team could have won one. I do think they had the weapons. Obviously Boston this year was stacked. Like Porzingis, the poor Zingis was looking really good. That year, Holiday didn't look old yet.

Orford was still a problem. Like, this was a tough Celtics team. It was a tough Celtics. But I do think this next team never got, this team fell apart physically this year because of injuries. and, you know, we didn't get to see them. Yeah, but this team walked so the team that we're watching right now could run.

Totally. And hopefully fly. I hope so, dude. Damn, your Boston audience ain't going to like that. But I'm with you. I hope so. It made me feel better last night, though. I was down the dumb still about the seas and Samson.

You'll be all right. You'll be all right. Yeah, I mean, I think you guys are just young now. You had to rebuild because you had to get rid of Horford and Porzengis and Holiday. But you still got, if you still have Tatum and Brown as a starting point, you're still, and, you know, Derek White's great. I mean, he was a little cold. I know, that just doesn't ever happen.

We just launched a beer together. I hope he was. I didn't have the Celtics play. It's literally just all three is all game. I know. And we get it, Missoula. You like the town. Everyone likes the town.

You're not fucking special. Stop pandering. Guys from me. We all like the town. It's from Providence. No one wants to say. I was very intimidated. I wanted to,

I didn't say anything around Joe. I was scared. I love Joe. He's scared the heck out of me. And I still love him. He's an intense Joker. He is, but I love it. But you're right, Sam, just, can we go to the rim a couple times?

Can we, we just go to the rack? You need a big man. You need, I know. I like the Vucevic move, but then also, he could another guy who just launched a three. Right. And he never really got working into the rotation in the playoffs. You're honest, bro.

I don't. I mean, but then we gotta give up J.B. I don't want to do that. Well, maybe it's Tatum. Everyone's saying it's J.B., but what? Yeah, I just don't want to. I'm so a tad.

I don't want to give up anybody. I feel the same way. You know what I mean? You grow with your guys. Yes. So they make fun of Knicks fans because we don't want to trade Brunson for anything. But it's just like, yeah, but we, you know, we fall in love with these guys. And we, and we were with them through the thick and the thin.

And that's what fandom is all about. So, yeah, you don't want to just trade for the new shiny piece. Because if the new shiny thing doesn't work, then you lose so much morale as fans. Morale and capital. Yeah. And we get attached to these guys when you're growing with them and you're getting close. I don't know. I just hated the first round exit.

Let's get a game lead of Jackie. Give us one of the storylines going to the lead up. of this bad boy. Philly was a seven seed here. But they weren't a real seven seed because Embed was hurt. So they were like, it's one of those annoying seven seeds. Three.

A lot of people picked them to beat us as people always are like the nicks are going to nick and they always go against us. But we were definitely scared. I mean, they were, we know what Embed is. Yeah, you're right. It's a weird quote unquote seven seed. Undefeiting the month of April,

which was huge coming into this thing. I think people were saying we should lose so we could not. But Tibbs will never do that. Oh, come on. He's like, we're not ducking. I can't believe they fired him after this year. I don't like ducking. I think it was next year.

Yeah, but I don't like ducking teams. I think it's bad. It's like tanking. It's just bad juju. Stop doing that shit. Bad jujujujuv. Plus,

Tibbs is going to have you in there doing defensive slides at 5 a.m. I know. He's fucking. I love Tibbs. He's the man. I like a coach who looks, who you know has never been married and there's nothing else. Like there's,

you know he's all in on every play. He's like lived with his mom still. Did he or I think or she lived with him? something crazy. I have to look that one up. I think she lives with him. I don't think he was getting paid pretty well. That'd be weird if he just lived in her basement still.

So meekloaf. They had to play in the play-in game here, beat Miami. Close win, 105, 104. Play-in series this year was electric. Playing tournament was awesome this year. Nicks were the two seed here. Again, 50 win team, six and two of the month of April coming in with some good mojo. New York took game one, 11, 104.

Squandered a 13-point lead there in the third. but hung on, still had the win. M.B. tweaked his knee in that game one. And then something that would carry over in the game two a little bit. J.B. was struggling from the floor a little bit. Brunson, that is. Which is unlike him, but... Yeah, but he made up for it.

Made up for it at the line. And with clutch shots. Do you have like a pregame routine when you're watching these games now? Especially here, you're at the game. Like, how does the day in the life of... Playoff Madison Square, garden, Sam, like, what are you doing early in the day? Are you texting your boys? You're getting your fit ready. My whole crew and my whole, like my lawyer, my agent, everyone in my crew is diehard Nix fans.

I love this. So everyone, I'm literally watched the game the other night with my lawyer out here in L.A. He's my boy. We became tight. He's awesome. And then, uh, you know, my agent's a psycho Nix fan. My, all my good friends are psycho Nix fans. And yeah, it, to me, it feels like when you have like a big gig at night, you're like, just stay active during the day. So you're not thinking about it. I like, Because I love, I get anxious. I'm anxious today about the game. And an early tip out here. Yeah.

Early. How do you like it out here? Like that. It's cool. It's cool because it never interferes with shows. So I don't mind it. And I kind of like it because like you can pop into a bar at like 4 p.m. And you can get a seat.

So I like that. And you get and you can like watch. You can go to a dinner after all the games are done damn near. Yeah. It's cool. I like it. You ever have a really New York night salmon like go from the game to the store? The seller.

Yeah. I remember Mateo Lange, who's my neighbor once. He's, you know, gay guy doesn't watch sports. Not the gay guys don't watch sports, but he's one of those gays, you know, where he's like, you know, he's like, we'll go. And he's literally like, he's a joke about it in his act now, how he's like, him watching the game with me is like me watching with a girl where he's like, he's like, heart is cute, you know?

He's just watching the game. And we went straight from the game. We went straight to the game. He does have a nice butt heart. Yeah, for sure. Oh, speaking of a nice butt, Kyle Lowry too, in this game. Oh, my God. Yeah, the butt.

The Ebutt. Yeah. Mateo and I went straight from the game to the cellar and we were like riffing on stage. Oh, that's awesome. So it's fun. Yeah. So I've done that. Yeah, a couple times with Mark.

Hell yes. Yeah, we've done that. That's such a New York. There's something about walking downtown after the game and just feeling the city energy and be careful on 7th Avenue. But if you're up for it, it's a beautiful thing. All the joy, you know, it's cool. Are you walking to the cellar?

Are you getting on train or you going Uber? Train or walk. But I'll, yeah, I'll walk down. It's like a mile and a half. It's not that bad. And on a nice night. It's kind of, it's a nice thing. You get to feel the energy.

I love walking this. I love walking. I'm a big walker. That's right, baby. Should we get in this game a little bit? Get in the game. All right. So Philly starts this thing out on 11 to 2 run.

Take the first quarter, 25, 18. Kind of hold this 7 to 10 point lead for most of the first half. Brunson's still struggling from the floor offensively. Nick's get on a little run at the end of the second to cut this thing to four at the half. 53, 49, sixers at the half. Half time. Do you guys have like a place to go? court side.

Yeah. So they take really good care of you. You get to go to this cool sweet. But my thing is like I, if they're hooking you up, especially just because I'm a fan, I don't want to miss any. Some of these people get kind of lost in there because there's so much, you know, there's free food and there's so much talking. I'm, if I'm with a friend, I'm like, we're pissing and we're going right back.

You know, so I go. Maybe a beer. Yeah, maybe a drink. Sometimes I'll do like, I'll mix it up. Sometimes I'll do like a gin and soda, you know. Road soda. Yeah. Yeah.

You know, I'll do sometimes. I'll do like, I was doing this sometimes. I was doing an apparel spritz. Nice. Just because I was like, I can drink a lot and not get drunk. So I'll still behave. Wasn't it sprit season, baby? Sprit season, baby.

But yeah, I'll do, you also want to do a scotch and soda, something like that. So, yeah, so we were, uh, we're in and out. We're, you better be right. Because I don't want to miss the first. Some people take their time coming back in the, and I'm like, this is disrespectful. It's ridiculous. To the team. You got to be respectful to the team.

You're watching on TV in the third quarter starts. The whole front row is empty. Yeah, but we're in Miami bad. Miami is the real. Oh, that's terrible. Miami. they show up in the second. They show up in like midway through the second.

Hey, we got our white on though. We got our linen. It's a white out. That's how they are with comedy shows in Miami too. They come 40 minutes late on blow. It's the worst fucking crowd ever. I hate it. But, uh, you know, I like Florida, but I did my last special in Tampa.

I got a lot of love for Florida. But Miami, cool city, but not a good place to do comedy. I can see. I mean, yeah, why did you pick Tampa, by the way? Great, great theater. Great comedy crowd. Tampa's just cool, man. I like Tampa.

It's no Naples. Three quarters of it is like New Yorkers and Bostonians. Exactly. Yeah, it's a lot of Northeast people. I feel like, I don't know. I like the energy, but yeah. It's chill. We rushed back to the game.

I think we were next to like Action Bronson or something. Maybe. Let's go. Yeah. Another great Nick fan. Yeah, a lot of hardcore fans there. And yeah, I mean, it was, it was stressful because you, look, we were the two C, but you don't want to split with Philly.

No. And it felt like a game they were going to win. So, yeah, I mean, God, Josh Hart had 15 rebounds. That's what I'm talking about. What do you think at a half time with the Brunson struggles? Are you thinking he's going to kick it up in the second? Yeah, I did. Because Brunson is like, it's weird to say this, but you kind of never worry about him.

He's such a high IQ player, as is Josh. I mean, they're very, sometimes Jalen will get criticized for like Hero Ball, but you'll kind of know, I mean, yeah, he did not shoot well this game. Look, eight for 29. Yeah, and then over the course of the two games, he was 16 of 55, which is just. But then the second. The rest of the series, it was like unstoppable. So the thing about Jalen is they were throwing a lot at him.

They had Ubrae on him, who's 6-7. They had a lot of, you know, Maxi's a good defender too. They were throwing a lot at him, but he always adjust and always adapts. And he did this series as you saw, he just took over. So, yeah, we were never, you're never that worried about Jalen. No, and then in the, you know, in the clutch, no matter what he's shooting for the game, you know, it's scary. He's going to get you.

He did it here. And it rattled in. It was like a weird kind of bounce. He got the shooter's touch, baby. touch. So yeah, that was, we were worried, but it was never like, what are we going to do? You know, and also, you know, we didn't have Randall this series. Obviously, losing an all-star level player is going to put more pressure on your other star. So now, how are you, you're watching the game and you're super invested. Oh. I mean, you won't even leave for the halftime thing, right?

You're coming back 15 minutes early. Yeah. Wouldn't time for the third quarter. Like, when are you able to throw up these live tweets that we always see? Maybe like a timeout or something? Time out? You definitely don't want to be on your phone during the game. No, I don't want to be that. Straight timeout or TV timeout? Yeah, yeah, for sure.

Now, is it better from home or in person, the live action tweet? Oh, I usually don't tweet at the games, but I think I was really angry during this game. There was a little ref tweets. There's a couple of reps. What did I say? These refs stink.

I said that? Yeah, that was at, uh, that was four 22, 24. Yeah. Apparently Kyle Lowry gets 14,000 game. That was also tweeted out. Here's the thing about Kyle Lowry. But he's that butt, man. Yeah, he's got literally, he's got airbags to take a charge every time he falls. But no, Kyle Lowry's tough because he's such a, he's hard not to respect. I know. He's, he was the second guy on that championship team. He's all with the Raptors,

with Kauai. Right. Him and Young Siakum. Amazing team when you look at it now. But. And then all the Rosen years. And he played with Nurse there. And he's a Philly guy and a Nova guy. And he's back home now. And Lowry's a pest. Like he's so physical. He's the dude you play with in pickup. Who's smaller, who just keeps slapping your wrist.

And he's like, dude, that was a foul. And he's like, yeah, right. But for some reason, the refs are doing that too.

He made me crazy. So, yeah, that series. And also, Lowry is like a big game guy. So he was kind of at the tail end here. You know,

he's still playing, but he's older now. But he's hard, he's another guy, he's hard not to respect. The little guys who just play their fucking guts out, you know?

You hate him. he's on the other team. A lot of people love Julian. It was like the same thing. Julian was not the biggest guy, but he just fucking found a way. And that's how Lowry is to me. It's true.

I sent Sam the Al Pacino heat meme when we were talking about Kyle Lauer the other day. Oh, you got your ass. And you got your head all the way up it. All right. You picked this game for the last 24 seconds. For sure.

Oh yeah. Right. Why don't you give us the walk through these last 24 seconds? Break it down for us. What's going on? Down by five with 30 seconds left. Only been done five times, I think.

Yeah, I mean, in the modern NBA with the threes, it's a little more likely to happen now. But yeah, it was still like, yeah, we didn't feel good, obviously. Brunston hits that three that rims in, which was like, okay, we got the bounce. Then it was, this is the famous play. The heart steal from Maxie. Brunson and Hart are just fucking like, yeah, are we fucking attacking them? It was like a fuck, probably was a foul. But they're just fucking wailing on them.

But the boys play. Let the boys play. And we get a steal. Missed the shot. Dante misses, but this is, Hardinstein's kind of the unsung hero of this game that no one talks about. He gets the offensive rebound.

I think he gets the OG who somehow kicks it out to Dante, he's a shooter. He's like, I miss one, but no hesitation. Just right through the net. We lost our fucking minds. And then here's the thing, though, the game's not over. This is like the LJ four point play where he hits the three and gets foul,

but you've got him, still got to make the free throw. Okay. So he hits the three. I believe we're up, what are we up one? What are we up one? Right, we're up one point. Maxy so quick having a great game as you can see 35 points comes off the pick goes to the rack

Hardinstein again heroically swats it off the backboard we lost our minds and that was when we knew we had them so that was holy crap what a game to be at and to see it up close that was that's why I picked the game Garden's going fucking nuts right now a playoff win with two huge plays with two guys who aren't on the team anymore that was tough oh you see me cheering I loved it there's Sammy I am

Sam Rick Brunson, the whole crew, baby. The squad. Are you like almost making out with your boy after this or what? Like how excited. This has got to be insane. We were losing our minds. This is the most important Nick game you've seen in your real life at this point. Oh, I'd say so.

Yeah. And we were like, oh, wow, this team is, it's that thing we're like this team, it's Goonies never say die. That's what it is. It's like, when your team doesn't quit, you're just like, oh, that's everything. Because that makes you believe always when they believe and when they believe and when the team represents the city like that's why we fell in love with the 90s nicks the anthony mason's and charles oakley's and patrick ewing's and john starks like these guys derrick

harper they were they were just tough and they played like they gave a shit and that's how this team plays so you know i've told this uh to jocelyn when i met him i was like that's why we love you so much and like we just want them to know how much we appreciate it as new yorkers you know i didn't hear any of that i just instantly when you said guineas never say die i went to Brad, I didn't know you had braces. Remember that? When he kisses the young girl, that's the best part. Oh, dude.

The movies. I had an older brother like that. I was like maybe what his girlfriend's to kiss me in the dark. Like Sam tweeted after this game, wow, this Knicks team just keeps finding away. Love this squad. Summed it up perfectly.

That's a real Magic Johnson tweet. I'm really not taking any bold takes. What a great game. I love Magic Johnson's tweets where he was just like, The Knicks won the game tonight. And you're just like, yeah, that's what happened. I do the same thing. How about this LeBron James?

Great player. Well, it's like, what can you say at a certain point? Like Brunson and these guys, they just, like, I just like, you just keep doing it. Bruns, it's the same thing about OG. You're just like, wow, I fucking love this guy. Like some of these guys, they just, you can't believe they're on your team.

We were bad for a long time. So when they're good, you just, you want to soak up every minute. Is this the craziest game at the garden you ever been to? It was, I mean, when Dante hit that shit, you feel the building shaking. That's the crazy thing.

You hear about stories that Walt Frazier will tell, like when Willis Reed came in the building and he goes, it was so loud and the building was shaking that they, they were like, I can't believe, like,

I'm scared the building's gonna collapse. That's what it felt like, honestly. I do a thing when players are shooting free throws where I just will just like, get up and stomp because I do feel like you feel it on the floor. Oh yeah.

It's annoying. And that's, I mean, when everyone's doing that, you're like, this is fucking crazy. So yeah. Did you talk shit to

any of the Philly players during this? Not really, but... Not like a fuck you or mean look. More talking to the refs. I'll talk to the refs. Some of them will give you a look too. It's funny. Like Tony Brothers always is just like, shut up.

Yeah, he always just looks and be like, ugh, this idiot. But yeah, I'm like, come on, call it fair. You see, know what you gotta do? Sammy? Yeah. You got to invite these refs to one of your standups. You butter them up a little.

It happened once. It happened once? No, not my... But one of the refs came over to me. I was like, I'm a huge fan. and I was like, then call the game fair. And my mom was next to me and she laughed. She was like, she was like, just say thank you.

I was like, call it fair. If you are a real fan. He's a fan. He's a fan. I was like, call it fair. Oh, I love that your mom. We won the game. Yeah, my mom was like, you're a psycho. Like something's wrong with you.

I was like, I'm a fan. I'm a fan, ma. Where did you celebrate after this? I don't remember. I don't remember what we celebrated. Yeah, it was a good night. Yeah, it was a good night. We definitely were just like, what the fuck.

What the fuck just happened? That was, it was one. It was one of those nights for sure. I'm just picturing like Dick Bavetta front row at the comedy seller watching Sam show. Oh, yeah. Dickie B. God bless. We'll be right back after this quick break.

All right, put a bow on this bad boy. 104, 101. Nix win it. Take the series, ultimately, and go win this thing in six. They fought. They fought. Maxi took a game from us. I mean, it was not an easy series. As they always do.

And then just to clarify and stress how insane that comeback was, it was just the fourth time in the play-by-play era, dating back to 96, that a team has won a playoff game after trailing by at least five points in the last 30 seconds. Jesus. Only other times, Miami. against San Antonio in game six

with 2013 finals. Larry. Golden States overtime win over New Orleans in game three, the 2015 playoffs. Kobe's game winner to beat Phoenix in game four. I remember that one.

That was sick. Pretty crazy, bro. That was a cool Phoenix team too. Good company. Yeah, that was like Marriott. When he hit that, when he kind of, Kobe just dribbled right and fucking hit that right on. Was it Rajabelle?

I think it was. Yeah. Great memory. Holy smokes. Shout to Raja Bell. You clearly miss Tibbs a little because you I love him. I love tips.

Yeah, he was hard. He got the short end of the stick last year. He did. It's a tough thing to lose. And he brought us back to relevance and his disciplinarian style. Like, I love it. I love a guy who feels like he cares and screams at you. It feels like Pacino and like any given Sunday or something.

You're like, this dude gives a fuck. It really does. So yeah, that hurt. That hurt for sure. But also like, you know, Brown is doing a good job right now. It's a tough business. I know. It's a tough business, man.

Tough business. And then lastly, before we go to name this game and score, this game. Sam, what do the Knicks mean to you? They mean a lot. I mean, name, we name the game. Yeah. I think it's the Dante 3. Okay. Because the different shenz-oh, it's not the game. Right. It's the three. It's like the shot. Dante 3. I like that. And look, we get, we get a little bit of bias with Mike Breen did a double bang here when he hit the bang, bang! And a lot of those are Knicks games. That's true. Because he's a Knicks fan. But he, as a pro, he hides it, which I respect. But, you know,

It's so funny. Reggie Miller's on these games now. And I feel like he's really hamming up. He's like, the Knicks are good. But we know he hates us. We know it. So he'll let it slip out. Anytime Atlanta went on a run in that series,

Reggie Miller would be like, this could be it. I wouldn't be like, Reggie, shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up, Reggie. But, yeah, Dante, I mean, the fact that Dante hit and the fact that Breed's calling it

was pretty special. And I think it's the Dante three. The Dante three. But Hardinstein is the unsung hero of this whole. like two sequences and Hardinstein knows I'm glad he knows how much

I love him I hate that he went to OKC because he's we know how essential that guy is to a defense and like what a glue guy he is he's a hell of a player Not the worst place to go to though

I mean dude Jesus crime and I can't stand watching I hate it Sam I absolutely hate that brand of basketball get to beat you with bats and then if you breathe on Cheegelis Alexander they're just like See ya

you're out of the game yeah I hate it It drives me up a wall. She is like probably the best player who I like watching the least. Yes, that's a great way to play. A lot of people say that. All the basketball heads say that. He's an incredible talent, but I just like, it's not, yeah.

The val baiting, it's like a terroristic act. I hate it. I hate it. Absolutely hate it. It's not a fun team to watch. I like watching Ant. I do like watching it. He's fine.

And brings it, maybe. He's also, um, everything. Athletically a freak. Yeah, I'm a, I'm a fan. He looks like George. a little bit. And he's great in that Sandler movie. Oh, he's a late. Great. He's hilarious in any that's a really good clip. Really good. And that

the Spanish dude did really good. The main guy. Yeah, yeah. He acted his balls on. That was a great movie. Oh, uh, we gotta score this game. Is this the greatest game of all time? Let's score. I mean, it's clearly like, look, this is my bias here, obviously. So stakes. Stakes, zero to ten. We, we encourage. You can't give it. It's probably like an eight because

like, look, if you lose it's one-one, but I just think losing this game, you can't go higher than eight. it did feel like a big loss going you have home court against a team with a guy who's still an MVP like yeah he's hurt but he's still I think he dropped 50 in one of the games this series I mean he was a problem still so stakes you're given an eight yeah is that is that too high or well that feels right good I'm going to 7.9 okay shout out my brother's birth year 7 6 we're in the same ballpark okay right yeah I told you mine's going to be a little

higher yeah and I'm going to be higher in star power too what's the star power zero to 10 decimals encouraged. You were there. I was there. Oh, you know what? So we can count. Yeah. Oh, then go fucking like 9.5. Because you know, all the like rock was there.

You know what? No, fuck it. Go 98. Yeah. Just rock's there. Stiller's there. This is fucking legit. It's MSG.

It's MSG. And fucking Brunson, Joe Ambide. You know, like Maxi's a star. You guys are going to be comically low what you give it. I'll give it 8.5. All right. It's still, I mean, it's the garden playoff. I got tickets so really you shouldn't be able to go higher than 8.5.

No way. Out of 7.5. The gameplay of this. I mean, this was incredible to watch. It was, it was, but it was really the last minute because it was a tough game to watch. Because Brunson, as I said, shot 8 of 29. So I'll say gameplay factoring in the ending. I'll go like 8.5.

I like that. Because I don't want to go too high because the whole game was. And I hate, no one talks about this. But when your team is good, it's kind of a miserable experience. When your team sucks, you're like, I'm playing. with house money. When your team has expectations, you're like, I don't have fingernails left. I'm fucking panicking. This sucks. I think I'm going eight seven. I mean, wow. Okay. Maybe I undersold this. Last shot. Whenever you have like that five second thing,

we'll always remember that. Yeah. Do you go too low? Maybe I should go like eight, nine. Because I like eight nine. Because I think that ending was insane. Anytime you got a walk off anything, that that race game, that always raises the gameplay. Now the name of the game, the Dante, I'll give it like, you know what? There's like a different rating for New Yorkers and just sports fans because this isn't like the catch. This isn't like, you know, I can't do that. But it's like, I think I got to go like eight five here because every New Yorker knows it. Every New Yorker, like when we lost Dante, it hurt.

Oh, it really hurt because he was only a Nick for one year, which is crazy because of how much we loved him. Like he was he was such a beloved player and New York's got so many Italians. So, like, they were like, Dante, we got a guy. So that was tough to lose him. Yeah, God. I still root for him every, every game. I know. I hate to see that Achilles.

Oh, that hurt. I'm going 8.4. Okay. I mean, look. 7.3. I know. Kyler's bringing us down on this one. I'm bringing us down.

That's fair. Where does it rank on the list? So it's a 7.96. It's a huge for. So it's our tide for our. 67th game with the Miracle in Miami, Doug Flutie, BC versus Miami in 1984. Oh, Dale Mary.

I don't know about that. Can you see, a little love? The Veritec Arod fight. Oh, wow. Casey Affleck? A Casey Affleck. You can see here. Oh, man.

He's awesome. Oh, it's also tied with game three of the 2002 Easter Conference final first round. What game is that? Let me see this one. That's got to be like the Spurs or something? Is that the Lakers? That's the new one with North Davis?

Wait, where is this? Oh, first round. Sorry, I thought it was finals. First round is, damn. Did we just do that with B.D? That was the Baron Davis. Oh, Baron Davis was money, dude. That guy had a bag for back in the day.

He was one of the first point guards with like hops. We were like, holy shit. It was like that era of point guards where you had like Steve Francis and Marbury could jump out of the building back then, you know. BD was dunking on Carolinko. That was so cool. That was the, that was when I liked the Warriors. The Warriors were sick. And then after that.

I moved to Boston and I never like, you know, then they got really good and I kind of never got to see him. But you like that word, I could see that. BD. Spreewell before him. Those like, they were shitty. Run.

Yes. Those were the fun warrior teams. But the Warriors teams now, it's like I just feel so, I'm so envious of those fans because like, you got Curry. Yes. And Draymond is like,

you hate him if he's not on your team. But if he's on your team, he's like. Draymond green is a fucking. He's unreal. He's the guy. He's the ultimate hate him if he's not your team, love me like,

yeah. To a T. But I would love him if I was a warrior's guy, for sure. Yeah. I hate that they're a little bit of a shell of themselves, but still. Like a waning dynasty of save Kerr, whatever. That's how it always ends. I know.

But I love those teams. Nothing lasts forever, boys. Nothing lasts forever but love. I don't think we missed anything. I think we nailed this, dude. Yeah. We miss anything? No, I think we got it.

It was a special night. I mean, anytime the Knicks are in the playoffs, I'm just like, I'm loving it, man. It's like you feel lucky to be watching. and a fun team and like, you know, the world's a fucked up place. So we're grateful for sports that brings us together. And, uh, yeah, no, we love basketball in New York.

Now, amen. In that red cup last night at your special over in at the, what was the United? Yeah, yeah, when I was performing. Yeah, was that a bodega cat in there? I was drinking a bodega cat and, uh, and Coke. I like a whiskey coat.

It was hitting last night. The bodega. It was hitting Rachel made a good one. I was making, I was making a bodega cat. Jackie. I'd say that. and pass it up when I saw it sitting there. Yeah, no, I loved it, man.

I saw Jackie on tour. We were in Charlotte. That's right. You know what happened that night to me? That was when you almost died on the way to Richmond. I texted you. Yes, I was like, dude,

so I did a tour bus for most of the tour, but the first one was like just four or five nights. So I was like, ah, the bus is really expensive. So you find ways. Like, yeah, let's just do a sprinter van after the show, which is a little annoying because I like the tour bus

because you could sleep on the bus. You wake up in the next city. You can go to the YMCA, play some ball. Yeah, baby. You know all that. Get a schvitz in. I get a schvitz in.

You heard that bit. Yeah, I heard that one. So then, um, you watch two guys, such each other off? I don't know.

That's gonna be in the next special. That one. Got to wait for that one. That's not the one coming out soon. But so then, um, we're on the road and Gary Veter and I, you know my boy Gary.

And we're in a sprint advantage, just Gary and I head to the next city late night. And it's like, we're all tired. We're like, let's watch this, let's watch one of the Oscar movies we haven't seen. It was that,

it was when the substance just, came out with Demi Moore. So we throw that on. We're watching the back seat. The driver, like, we would have fallen asleep. We weren't watching this movie. So shout it to this movie,

which we didn't enjoy. We were like, this movie sucks. But we didn't like it. So it was keeping us awake because we were like, this fucking sucks. What the hell? And then the driver just falls asleep and just drives us right off the fucking road.

And we're like, dude, dude, dude, what the fuck? And he's like, we're like, ah, we had to grab him and he woke up. He finally, we're off the fucking road. We're pulling to a rest area and another car pick us up. We're like, nah, we're taking another car. Dude, when I was texting with you and Brian, I'm like, holy shit.

I know, man. That's terrifying. That was like... Shout out to the substance. Shout out to the substance. Got this alive. She was looking all flaky in that thing. Oh my God.

That was like, bro, I, that was scary. That was crazy. And I wasn't even there and I was like, my heart was racing when you texted me next thing. You know that? You probably had some bodega cat in you. I did. Nerves were nice and calm to handle the situation perfectly. I just got in a huge wormhole of listening about this cook on the Titanic that drank

so much whiskey that he was able to tread the 28 degree water for fucking four hours. What? And he survived. Holy shit. You saw that?

You heard it here. Alcohol's healthy. Alcohol saves lives. Bodega cat for you. Bodega cat. Everyone go check out his podcast. We might be drunk. You got to come back, man.

I got to come back. I got to come back. It's always fun. I'm on the road. I'm not doing a ton, really. I'm doing Verona, New York, the Turning Snow Casino. It's a cool casino.

And then, yeah, I'm doing it Europe. I'm going on. all over Europe. So I'm starting in Lisbon. Then I got Athens. Budapest. Holy shit of my numbers bad in Budapest. You want to see a sad seating chart. Because you never know where, and then like Zagreb, Croatia, I've sold a shitloader. You never know where you're going to have an audience. That's why you take a chance. Croatia's beautiful. That's what I've heard. And I also just like, I just wanted to go to these places. Yeah. I'm hitting like, you know, uh, Stockholm again.

That's right. Sammy, thank you for going on. Love you, dude. Love you, bro. Great to see you guys. Thanks, Sam. Man, it's always great to get the insight of Sam because Sam's like our ultimate, like, insider to the comic world. He is.

He's our portal. It felt like we were getting the band back together, too. It did. Like old times, baby. Down on Canal Street. Man. You know, like, it's so fun dropping his name. It is.

To the comic world. There is some way. Like, that's my like, oh, yeah, I'm boys with Sam Marell. Dude, I fucking love Sam. That guy's so talented. Like, you know what I mean? Like, any comic. Like, he's a comics comic.

Oh, for sure. Is he a comics, comics? He's a comic. I think so. I think he's widely well regarded as, like, one of the better joke writer comedians. Joke writer comedian. Oh, unbelievable. He talked to comedians.

They say that. I mean, Mark are both like joke writers. I mean, I shouldn't say that. I mean, as a, you know, as a roaster. Don't roast me, bro. Honestly, we, I should start retaining the comics. You could start retaining anything. Yeah, that would be great.

That would be great. But the retaining of retention, shout out. This is, we're comic eccentric. Yeah, we are. We're comic adjacent. We're good in every hood with all comics, man. Where's gronk? I don't know.

Not word guys. Not word guys. Man, well, I love you. I'm a little discombobulated because I'm, I feel like I'm a little thirsty and need a little rehydration. Killer segue.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Completion percentage is up. Oh. There you go. Those are hard.

Before is good. Those are hard to catch. I got to really watch them. You know what you got to practice. What you're crazy. I tell the young kids, you don't catch the ball with your hands. You catch you with your hands. eyeballs. And that's just a reminder

to myself. Just like I have to remind myself every once in a while I got to get one of these liquid IVs, put it in the all-inclusive, awesome little holder, rip, tear, and let's go. And bear which is rare. And we go. I'd like to give two shakes.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and nine. Now I'm ready. He's back. What do we got? What do we got? Oh, do you know what we got? drink up and lock in because it's time for everyone's favorite game. We all know it is, do you know ball? TM trademark. That's a good one. Do you know, do you know ball? We got to do stuff with that.

I suspect we can. We got to do something. It's probably already taken. Shane Gillis beat us too. Our favorite game, do you know ball? The game where we answer football questions so thought provoking that you'll need a liquid IV. By the end. Let's get into it.

Guy, guy, you want to lead us off? No, you go. All right, first. And do you know ball, Jules? What is it? What is it? What is a football cliche that drives you nuts?

Something you hear people say over and over again. They're just like, oh, okay. Yeah, it is what it is. It is what it is. That's what it is. Oh, God, I believe it. Coaches and is it is, it is, it is what it is. It's such a nothing say.

It's like, all right, just don't say anything then. It is what it is. Look, fellas, it is what it is. Clicay. What else? What are other cliches? Like a scrappy gym rat. That's in there. Thinker, three-bow player. Oh.

I gotta take it one day at a time. One day at a time. Coach's son. You're just basically describing a white professional athlete. Is that the cliche? That's what you said. Those are the guy. They play the game the right way. Yeah, they play the game. right way. They're quicker than

fast. They're high motor guys. Definitely wasn't coach's son. He's not going to wow you in gym shorts, but let me tell you, he's not going to make a mistake. High football IQ. Oh, my God. I love those. That's a cliche. That's a great cliche. It gets me every time. You got to get Nikovic for that one. Oh, boy. He will go off.

Imagine if he had tats, sleeves. Ninkovich thinks if he had sleeves, he'd have 30% more money. And why didn't he investor himself. He just, I guess he was... Chris Long did.

Chris Long. Chris Long made a lot of money. Ninkle's sleeves. That's what Nico used to say. If you're a white guy, you need to have a sleeve to get paid as a D-end. Look at it. What a take. Oh my God. That is an unbelievable take. Does Trey Hendrickson have had to?

I don't think he does. Max Crosby does. Max, for sure. Max's added up to his... Henderson, but, you know, he's also had a... You know, yet they didn't want to pay him. Yeah. But he got paid.

He got paid. He got paid. Okay. We'll be right back after this quick break. Get rewarded just for shopping with Simon Plus. Don't miss Memorial Day sales at Simon Premium Outlets and Mills.

Biggest no-no for rookies in the NFL locker room. Biggest no-no for NFL rookies in the locker room. Don't be coming in and touching the radio.

Oh, yeah. You're in the weight room. Don't be touching the radio. Okay, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, don't be heard, be seen. We got a whole lot to learn. And I, I, I, I honestly think the young, like, I don't know, I haven't, I was just getting, I was, I've never been in the NIL locker room. But I, I, I really do think these, these younger football players are, are smart enough and, and, and read the,

room so much better than what a lot of guys did back in the past. Not in these last five. I think they're going to. I think they're going to, you know, because they hear the whole, the whole saying that, you know, these guys saw this, that, you know, they don't know how to get work. They can't get yelled at. They can't be coached hard. You know, I think they're smart.

I think the newer players are so much smarter and so much. more informed on the craft. Like even now from 15, 20 years ago, like from when I got into 20 years before that, it's like there was like three dudes. Now everyone's doing the best thing for everything. And they all ultimately are going to see these contracts that are so big that I think they'll fall online.

So be seen. Don't be heard. Don't touch the radio. No bird watching. Yeah, you can't. But who knows? Who knows? It's a different locker room now.

You know, birds have rights, too. Thanks. All right, next one. You put, say you put Patrick Mahomes on the current New York Jets. How far do they go? I think they, I think they may get to the second round of the playoffs. Are they winning to- All about the quarterback.

I don't know if they win division. They're wild card. They're definitely in playoff. They're definitely maybe probably winning a playoff game. Because they have a pretty damn talented. They had first picks for the last 12 years. Garrett Wilson. Garrett Wilson,

Breeze Hall. I think they got some really good linemen. They're a quarterback away. And the defense, you got Aaron Glenn getting that defense situated. They got a lot of like really high draft talent. That's a question. That's a good question.

Hypothetical. You know, and Patrick does move the needle that much. Yeah. And like a belief that you can win too. Yeah. If Patrick, if Patrick,

Mahome walked in that locker. room, everyone there would think that they're going to Super Bowl. I mean, they did that with Aaron Rogers. Yeah, but if they would have got, if they would have got, if they would have got Aaron seven years before, it would have been different. I mean, I agree. I agree. My home's not even 30 yet. I agree. I mean, yeah.

He's 30 this year. Pat, I think he's going to 30. That sounds right. I mean, he's still pretty young. Yeah, he's 30 right now. Yeah. 95. Yeah, I mean, it'd be a crowded room, though, with, you know, he'd have to compete with Kate Club, Nick and break.

Cook and Bailey Zappi as well and Gino of course but I think he could win that job. Knowing the Jets, who knows? You're starting a franchise and you can pick any defensive player in their prime. Who are you taking?

Lawrence Taylor. Game record. Game record. Lawrence Taylor. I don't know. I mean the football that the college football, like the when you go to like knowledge for football

and the university I studied of knowledge of football was under Belichick and I may have been I'm so biased to it because it's all I heard in fucking meetings about this guy, Lawrence Taylor. And then you watch the film,

you hear the stories, you watch the man speak. I, defensive player, it's got to be LT. You know, Ed Reed's in there. Ray Lewis is in there.

Yeah. Those are some of the guys that I played against. Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett, Julius Peppers. Reggie White Reggie White

But I think I'm going LT I'm with you I was trying to think of any secondary guys Beyond Revis like a Would you do a Troy? I mean beyond Ed Reed Would you do a Revis or a Dion or Troy

I think I think you need If I'm building the defense Or you got to have either A guy that will absolutely wreck the game Or a green dock guy Which could be a safety or that middle backer I'm with you

Someone's going to get everyone communicated and lined up. You're either got to have like LT, like someone that's either just going to fucking wreck it or someone that can get things communicated. I'm with you there. So I don't know. That's a great question. I like that one too. I'm probably going LT. I like that answer.

All right. I still get LT highlights on my Instagram all the time. It's crazy. Got to stop and watch them. Uh, next one, Jules, and do you know ball? Will we ever see a Super Bowl played outside the United States? Yeah, probably. In our lifetime. And where?

Where and where? Where and win? I don't know. Probably what, 10 years? With the 10 years? And where? It all depends. That's a tricky game because a lot of these stadiums are being built to be promised to have a Super Bowl. Yeah. Right. So it's kind of like, well, when's that time, that break going to go and when are they going to be desperate to really try to expand the game? Not desperate, but take the next level of expanding the game. Because that would be the next level. You know, is bringing to London or London. And London's got to Mexico.

Mexico City? London. It would be like. Mexico, you know, yeah. London time change, I guess. Yeah, you do it at London. London feels like the moment. Yeah, because you can do it one o'clock Super Bowl.

You make it a night game in London. And then an afternoon kickoff in America. Yeah. They go for that old school? Make it like an, if you made it like an 8 o'clock or 9 o'clock game in London, that would be three in the East Coast. Yeah, maybe the TV part is why maybe they, Right. That's my biggest hang up.

Yeah. It's just, it's tough with the TVs. Yeah. And then also the promising for, that's, you look at the, there's 12 new stadiums that are being built. And didn't Miami just lose their like rotation to be in the Super Bowl. Did you see that? Oh, I didn't see that.

Yeah. I think they got knocked out of the like, the regular rotation. But 11 of those 12 are indoor facilities, indoor stadiums. Yeah. The only one that's not is Buffalo. Are they getting one? They're not getting one. What?

They're not going to school, are they? Buffalo. No, they probably won't because of that. But that's why all these teams are trying to get the indoor Chicago, Minnesota, like even Kansas City. Is Chicago going indoors with that new one? I hate that. I just hate it. Everyone talks about the NFL turning more to basketball and all this with the rule changes.

Look at the venues, man. On top of the rule changes. Play everything indoor. The elements are part of football. Yeah. I don't know. You start getting these gambling things involved. A lot of people are pissed off about that Denver

Pets matchup because of that weather. I think Denver, are they getting an indoor stadium? Are they? I don't know. Their stadium is relatively new. Well, so was the Titans.

20 years. The Titans are getting a brand new indoor stadium. That's going to be sick. They got the same, they got a stadium the same year as the Patriots, same stadium. It's crazy to think Gillette's kind of old, Matt.

Yeah, it's 20, 25, 25 years. Is. Yeah, they said Miami's, they're eligible. Don't ever, Mr. Kraft. Don't ever build a dome. Seriously. Don't. It was big when you guys went to turf.

You weren't there, though, right? It was before you when they switched the turf? No. You were there when they switched? No, it was always turf when I've been there. There was like a bad playoff game against the Jets and they're like, fuck this shit. We're putting turf. Yeah.

Anyway. Did you compete? Wow, you should ask this one. Okay. All right. Hold on. Hold on. Talk about bird watching.

Hey, now. Did you compare That's a great one Did you compare your pee To the urine charts In the locker room On a regular basis Or did you guys have the charts

Just to check your hydration You had charts on all your urinals Being a good teammate You know it's like You're not a good teammate If you're yellow You essentially know With the color of your pee hit

I was always a very hydrated guy Yeah What's the weirdest color you've ever had? Oh dude Close to brown bro We're talking earth tone stuff Yeah An Umbre.

Umbra. Umbra. Yeah. It was not a... But very rarely. That was before I got introduced to liquid IV. That was way before. Training camp is when you can sometimes get the dark pee.

Yeah. And that's why they do it because, you know, you go out and say it's 92 degrees, full padded practice, like 80% humidity. It gets pretty not like Florida humidity, but it gets humid in the Northeast. You could lose 12 pounds. You can lose 12 pounds of water. So you have to drink, I think, 12 ounces for every pound you lose to get your pee back. That's a lot.

So they monitor that with the athletes because when you're really dehydrated, you're susceptible to pulling your hamstring. Soft tissue is like on high alert. So that's why the pee charts are theirs. It's not like just like, oh, this is going to make you think correctly. No, this is because this guy's contract is worth $35 million over five years. Drink some fucking water. Drink some water because we do not need you getting hurt in practice.

With something you can control. Yeah. Now it's a meaningful chart. Yeah. All right. What's a T chart? We used to guys, guys would get so mad with the P charts because we used to have to pee in a cup for hydration. If you were on like the list, like, because they'll monitor you.

and then they'll, like, for the first, like, week, and then they'll kind of have a, a database of who is a non-hydrator and who is. Who's a bitching. You're a non-hydrate. Yeah. And so then you can put in the program for non-hydration. So, like, usually some of the big guys, you know, they got to go in or like a guy that, you know, pull the hamstring.

They have to show their, they got to, like, prove that they're hydrated. Here's a dumb question and you don't have to answer for like drug tests Yeah Did you have to have a spotter? What I mean? Like someone's like actually sees your dick peeing? So when you get a drug test

Depending on testers But you have to there'll be two Two drug testers You have to pull your pants down to your legs Like like fully exposed Kindergarten style Oh We're all the way down

And you're got Donald Duck You're at bare ass cheeks you have to like sometimes depending on the tester you they're sitting in watching you yeah just to see there's any like devices or anything you have to you have to show you know i think it's they're different with each guy yeah and depends on if you've had yeah yeah yeah remember the whizinator remember that uh ontario smithy had that back in the day he got caught with the fake one you're doing oil change the whizant mountain state what uh did you guys ever peek in the garden style in school back in the day

Did you? No, never, never, ever. Never. Ever. I had an older brother. I was like pretty. It was always very jarring to see back in elementary school. How we were supposed to be.

It's like, bro, yeah. My elementary school was really old and had asbestos everywhere. So literally they tore down the next year. You're in one of my friends at my newer school, kindergarten. I'm like, bro, pull up your pants. Yeah. It's like, what is this, bro? Like fourth grade.

Go through the gate, dog. We had the fucking, our urinals were like the ones that like go all the way to the floor. Oh, yeah. You know those ones. It's like, and like, I was like, I don't know if you would be aware. I was a kind of rotund kid. So I would wear shorts. The shirt is husky.

You wear like a 30, 32 inch as like a, you know, sixth grader. Yeah. Like those pants go really low to your knees and they go out far. So like every time it was always like a challenge not to piss on the bottom of my shorts. Because the journals on the fucking floor. Can we update these journals? Oh, they tore it down. Shout out Lanzer.

Oh, my God. All right. Last question. Sounds like a biohazard site. Jeez, Louise. Oh, the faucet exploded on me. I was watching my hands. This is not dribble.

Oh, goodness gracious. Last one, Kyga? Yeah, you take it. Which one you like of these two? Oh. Oh, then let's do the two. Let's see both. All right, Jules.

Second to last one. Give us an NFL team that might surprise some people this year, in your opinion. Minnesota. Ooh. Little Kyter. I think Kyler Murray's going to do well.

They just signed Jennings. You're going to have three really good receivers. Kevin O'Connell. B-Flow on the other side. I think they're going to be dangerous. It all depends on... This is a great opportunity for Kyler Murray to be one of those guys, the Sam Darnold,

the Baker Mayfield, fresh start, new ecosystem, kind of cornered animal mentality. Like, this is your shot. You know, it's either going to... And so I think Kyler, he's short, but he can make every throw. He throws the ball over a middle for a smaller guy,

and he has elite legs. He's an elite quickness, you know. And with Kevin O'Connell, I think Kyler's a smart guy. I know there's all the shit on, he plays the video games, he doesn't study, but I think he's genuinely like one of those kids that gets bored with homework and shit, probably,

like back in the day, or like, he was probably, it was probably pretty easy for him. like a smart kid. Yeah. You know, so he had the luxury of playing video games

because he, you know, I don't know. I just think, I think him, Justin Jefferson, Addison, Juan Jennings,

who's our, TJ, who should, who's, Hawkinson, Hawkinson. I was a T.J. Housman's out of it.

They got to add. Hudson and they're just picked up Jennings. Jennings. That's a great sign. They have, if they can, they can get it going. That's their running back.

Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones. he's getting there. He's, you know, he's got some, he's got some miles, but he knows how to play.

Yeah. They probably pick someone, they pick someone up. Yeah, and Jordan Mason. Jordan Mason's been pretty good. Aaron Jones, yeah,

he's still there. Who'd they pick up in the draft? Let me see. That's a hard division, though, you know, but I think they're getting harder. They got a defensive tackle

out of Florida, Caleb Banks in the first round, a linebacker at a Sincere in the second round. They went defense heavy on the first three. What did they get in free agency? Let me see.

They moved on from their GM this spring too, so I'm sure there's a little bit of... John Jennings was the big one. Shured up the defense a little bit, signed James Pierre, there are Thomas, Eric, a lot on the defensive side of the ball. Brought back Carson Wentz.

No, is there any offense alignment? They drafted. Harrison Smith is retired. Yeah, he had a great career. Shut out Harrison Smith. What a career. smart football player I think on the AFC side

I think the Chargers are super Really With Mike McDaniel I mean I'm excited to see them too You know but look They gotta stay healthy It's time They gotta do it

Like it just be the team of potential You gotta fucking do it at some point It's Year 3 Harball This is gonna be a big year I think that he's gonna get it going But like they got to stay healthy

And run the ball with Hampton the shirt too. We got Hampton. They also have Nahy, Nargey Harris. Yeah. Gotta stay healthy. That's a big thing.

That's always, that's always like the word, that's a cliched too. I know. It is. One of those, you know, hey,

you know, if this, if we stay healthy, we'll be good. Well, look, let me tell you something. You're not going to be healthy.

You know, the teams that know how to build the depth, have good role players. Those are the teams that usually keep it going. one. But I think Minnesota, and I agree with Chargers, they could be good, but I'm, they still got like, yeah. I think I'm excited to see Minnesota. I want to see Kyler. Kyler went 7 and O year two with Cliff. I don't think it's fair to put him in the Sam Darnel conversation because Sam Donald was

kind of a bust before he got to Minnesota. Where Kyle Murray, I don't think, Kyler Murray, I don't think is a bust. I just think it didn't work out in Arizona, but he had like good seasons. He was a great player. And he's thrown. Yeah. I think if you look at Kyler, Murray. I was here and I think he's got the same quarterback rating as Matt Stafford since he's been in the league. You know, like, he's an efficient guy.

He just has to stay healthy too. You know, I want to see them. I think they're going to be fun. They'll be fun to watch. Drafts with a good running back out of wake to Desmond Claybourne. There you go. That could be good for the backfield. All right. Last one. Jack. Or I'll do it. Yeah, lay it on me. Will Tyreek Hill end up

with the Chiefs of the season? I heard did he soft for That's what the rumors are. An inside source told us. But some chiefs insiders are saying they think it's about a 55 to 60% chance he ends up there. That's what...

Like pretty, like, stoncly say we've moved on from Tyree Kill. He did say something along those lines, but I... But you know if Patrick was like... Some of these... Yeah, but it's also like... You'll see in training camp. Yeah. Who did the...

They brought a receiver in. They brought running back. They brought Kenneth Walker in. Who did the chiefs bring in? They drafted. So they got Rishie Rice. He got Jalen Royals. They got Cyrus Allen, Xavier Worthy. Tyquant Thornton.

Let me see who they drafted. Chaddy O'Shea's their coach over there. Wait, he's with the Chiefs now? He's a receiver coach. Oh, shoot. I didn't even realize that. I like what they're doing, though. We'll see if Andy Reg will stick to it.

Andy. They could use a little juice in that wide receiver room. Andy loves to throw the ball. You know, but are they going to zig while everyone zags? Are they going to go just running the football with Kenneth Walker? Mahomes is hurt. Grab coming back. You know, start them out slow.

Yeah. Yeah, they drafted pretty heavy defensively. Well, they lost a lot of guys. I know. Lost both their corners. New Duffy. L.A. And surprised Chris Jones is still there.
