1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: I'm not sitting next to her. It's one more thing. 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: I'm one more thing. So I got some good stuff 3 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: here of Bill Maher had some funny stuff Friday night 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: about college graduation season. We'll get to here in just 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: a second. I'm not setting not setting next to her. 6 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: I'm referencing the New York's Knicks New York Knicks games. 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: So the New York Knicks are good again, and they're 8 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: in the West or the Eastern Conference finals for the 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: first time in a quarter century. And it has become 10 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: like star studded. You got to be there, as always 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: happens anytime a New York team gets good, right. But 12 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: I was reading this thing from uh, Howard Stern the 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: other day. He was actually talking about it on his show. 14 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: I guess I don't listen, but I was reading it, 15 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: and he was talking about how if he ever couldn't 16 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: sit in the front row, he wouldn't go, he would 17 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: realize that, you know, he's got to retire or whatever. Wow, 18 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: And it got into the whole how that whole thing works. 19 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: And I've always kind of wondered about that. It was 20 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: true with the Lakers whenever they get really, really good, 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: you know, Jack Nicholson famously or whatever, but not like 22 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden because there's just just just it just 23 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: always seems to be a bigger group of celebrities in 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: that front row and Madison Square Garden when the Knicks 25 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: are hot and the competition is so high, because it's 26 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: so condensed there in Manhattan, and I was a little 27 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: reading a little bit about how that whole thing works, 28 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: and there is like a special its own thing is 29 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: that front row because like I was watching last week, 30 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: like did Timothy Shallomey decide that day he was going 31 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: to the game, does he have season tickets or what? No, 32 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: it's it's it's its own thing. It's its own like 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: super rich famous people broker thingy, and they all get involved. 34 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: Now nobody quite knows who makes the cut and doesn't 35 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: and who who's in control of the gate keeping on that. Okay, 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: I was just gonna ask, do the Knicks run that 37 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: or it doesn't seem to be It seems to be 38 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: a third part things somehow, okay, which I gotta believe. 39 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: You know, there's all kinds of things involved. There's just money. 40 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: There's just flat out how much are you willing to spend? 41 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: Then? 42 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: There's also Madison Square Garden slash the Knicks. It's a 43 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: better look for them to have certain people on the 44 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: front row than other people, and that matters to their 45 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: money too. Wow. 46 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: So you think there's somebody who if you know, the 47 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: guy who owns four or four dealerships in the Tri 48 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: state area, calls up and says, yeah, I'll give you 49 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 2: a ten k apiece for those seats. They're like, no, 50 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: we got to keep those seats open in case a 51 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:35,399 Speaker 2: big name called. 52 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: Well certainly, now, I gotta believe ten k is incredibly 53 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: low number. 54 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 2: You never the number is, but you'll reject a successful 55 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: businessman while waiting all the famous TV chef. 56 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's probably more like one hundred k. But 57 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: you want Timothy Shallomey and whichever Jenner that he is 58 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: dating right now, you want them on the front row. 59 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: Who does the Knicks? I gotta believe they're not running 60 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: the ticket. I gotta believe lots of people do. And 61 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: it all factors in together. The Knicks want it, Madison 62 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: Square Garden wants it, tn T wants it. It's better 63 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: for T and T, it's better for so many people. 64 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: It's got to all fit together. 65 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 2: Somehow, Well, I'm trying to I'm trying to puzzle out 66 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 2: who Why would the person who actually has those tickets 67 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: give a crap? It could be it benefits them to 68 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: keep it like so attractive that Hollywood stars go, So 69 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: I would only sell them to the Ford, you know, 70 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: franchise e guy. If there are definitely no stars who 71 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: wanted to go tonight. 72 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: Now, well, now that Howard Stern talking about how you 73 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: know they make a decision and who gets to go 74 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: and who doesn't whoever they is because he used to 75 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: be on the front row a lot when the Knicks 76 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:46,839 Speaker 1: were really good. 77 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: Billy Crystal, No, Billy Crystal was a Clippers fan, right 78 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: la Clippers but. 79 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: Like soapers, Yeah, the coming weeks, it's going to be 80 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: very competitive. Timothy Chlamy is a good example because he's 81 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: like giant movie star young. He also has been a 82 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: Knicks fan forever. There's a cool picture last week of 83 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: him as like an eight year old getting an autograph 84 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: from Amari Stottemeyer when he was a Nick back in 85 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: the day. And so now he gets to sit in 86 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: the front row without he's a big star with one 87 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: of the Kardashians. And then her sister. So that's a 88 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: pretty good get for whoever's benefiting from this. Yeah, Tracy 89 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: Morgan's always there. That might just be money though, because 90 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: he got that two hundred million dollars because the Walmart 91 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: truck ran into him and almost killed him, so he 92 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: got too. So he's so wealthy. Combination of celebrity and 93 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: the amount of money, Yeah, he gets. 94 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 2: His calls are turned right away. 95 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: John Stewart was in the front row, Drake was in 96 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: the front row, and it's the front row part is 97 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: pretty small. Well, Joe and I have been in the 98 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: front row for Sacramento Kings games, which is you know, 99 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: like in terms of competition wise so far that but 100 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: but it's a pretty small number of seats that are 101 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: available for your front row seats. Yeah, it ain't a lot. 102 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 2: And people talk about who's in the front row. 103 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: Do you know who that is? 104 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: Do you know who that is? 105 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: There's a big difference between sitting in the front row 106 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: and the second row. Yes, front row, your feet are 107 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: on the court, everybody can see you. Second row not 108 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: the same. But it'll be interesting to see now that 109 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: they're in the East Coast Finals, who who who manages 110 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: to squeeze out who for those front row seats? Who's 111 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: the old director that was famously Spike Lee. Spike Lee's 112 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: still in the front row. Yeah, Kardashians and Tim Shallowmay. Though, 113 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: that's that's pretty that's pretty good. That's pretty heady of 114 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: coming Kardashians. So I realized they're like global whatever they are, 115 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: But come on, they're La. 116 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 3: Oh. 117 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: The thing I was wondering, La Royalty should not be 118 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 2: in the front row the next game. That's just wrong. 119 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: The thing I was wondering about is uh, well, it's yeah, 120 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: it's because the ones dating Timothy shallow May, I think, 121 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: is how they in. But what I was wondering about, 122 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: do you have any say who you're sitting next to? 123 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: If I'm paying one hundred and fifty thousand dollars or whatever, 124 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: maybe I don't want to sit next to I would 125 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: want to sit next to Tracy Morgan, but maybe you 126 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: don't want to sit next to Tracy Morgan. I would 127 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: think it would be hilarious. But or whoever it is, 128 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: I wonder if you have any say whatsoever? You just 129 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: show up wondering yourself, what giant famous celebrity am I 130 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: going to be sitting next to right. 131 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, just sice. I don't know. 132 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: I noticed Chalomey has like the very middle, like the 133 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: exact like your half court. Somebody decided he's that guy, 134 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: the it guy for that. 135 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh, I congratulate him.
