WEBVTT - I'm Not Sitting Next To Her! 

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sitting next to her. It's one more thing.

0:00:04.080 --> 0:00:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm one more thing. So I got some good stuff

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>here of Bill Maher had some funny stuff Friday night

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>about college graduation season. We'll get to here in just

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.080
<v Speaker 1>a second. I'm not setting not setting next to her.

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm referencing the New York's Knicks New York Knicks games.

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>So the New York Knicks are good again, and they're

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>in the West or the Eastern Conference finals for the

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>first time in a quarter century. And it has become

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>like star studded. You got to be there, as always

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>happens anytime a New York team gets good, right. But

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I was reading this thing from uh, Howard Stern the

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>other day. He was actually talking about it on his show.

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:43.559
<v Speaker 1>I guess I don't listen, but I was reading it,

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>and he was talking about how if he ever couldn't

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>sit in the front row, he wouldn't go, he would

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>realize that, you know, he's got to retire or whatever. Wow,

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>And it got into the whole how that whole thing works.

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>And I've always kind of wondered about that. It was

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>true with the Lakers whenever they get really, really good,

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, Jack Nicholson famously or whatever, but not like

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Madison Square Garden because there's just just just it just

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 1>always seems to be a bigger group of celebrities in

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that front row and Madison Square Garden when the Knicks

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>are hot and the competition is so high, because it's

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>so condensed there in Manhattan, and I was a little

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>reading a little bit about how that whole thing works,

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and there is like a special its own thing is

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>that front row because like I was watching last week,

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>like did Timothy Shallomey decide that day he was going

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>to the game, does he have season tickets or what? No,

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's its own thing. It's its own like

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>super rich famous people broker thingy, and they all get involved.

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Now nobody quite knows who makes the cut and doesn't

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and who who's in control of the gate keeping on that. Okay,

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I was just gonna ask, do the Knicks run that

0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 1>or it doesn't seem to be It seems to be

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>a third part things somehow, okay, which I gotta believe.

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's all kinds of things involved. There's just money.

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>There's just flat out how much are you willing to spend?

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Then?

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>There's also Madison Square Garden slash the Knicks. It's a

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>better look for them to have certain people on the

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.919
<v Speaker 1>front row than other people, and that matters to their

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>money too. Wow.

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 2>So you think there's somebody who if you know, the

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 2>guy who owns four or four dealerships in the Tri

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>state area, calls up and says, yeah, I'll give you

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.639
<v Speaker 2>a ten k apiece for those seats. They're like, no,

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 2>we got to keep those seats open in case a

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:35.399
<v Speaker 2>big name called.

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 1>Well certainly, now, I gotta believe ten k is incredibly

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>low number.

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>You never the number is, but you'll reject a successful

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 2>businessman while waiting all the famous TV chef.

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it's probably more like one hundred k. But

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you want Timothy Shallomey and whichever Jenner that he is

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>dating right now, you want them on the front row.

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Who does the Knicks? I gotta believe they're not running

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the ticket. I gotta believe lots of people do. And

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 1>it all factors in together. The Knicks want it, Madison

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Square Garden wants it, tn T wants it. It's better

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>for T and T, it's better for so many people.

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.079
<v Speaker 1>It's got to all fit together.

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.959
<v Speaker 2>Somehow, Well, I'm trying to I'm trying to puzzle out

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.959
<v Speaker 2>who Why would the person who actually has those tickets

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 2>give a crap? It could be it benefits them to

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 2>keep it like so attractive that Hollywood stars go, So

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I would only sell them to the Ford, you know,

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>franchise e guy. If there are definitely no stars who

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 2>wanted to go tonight.

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, well, now that Howard Stern talking about how you

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>know they make a decision and who gets to go

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and who doesn't whoever they is because he used to

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>be on the front row a lot when the Knicks

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:46.839
<v Speaker 1>were really good.

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Billy Crystal, No, Billy Crystal was a Clippers fan, right

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>la Clippers but.

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Like soapers, Yeah, the coming weeks, it's going to be

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>very competitive. Timothy Chlamy is a good example because he's

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>like giant movie star young. He also has been a

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Knicks fan forever. There's a cool picture last week of

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>him as like an eight year old getting an autograph

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>from Amari Stottemeyer when he was a Nick back in

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the day. And so now he gets to sit in

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.719
<v Speaker 1>the front row without he's a big star with one

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>of the Kardashians. And then her sister. So that's a

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty good get for whoever's benefiting from this. Yeah, Tracy

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Morgan's always there. That might just be money though, because

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 1>he got that two hundred million dollars because the Walmart

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 1>truck ran into him and almost killed him, so he

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>got too. So he's so wealthy. Combination of celebrity and

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the amount of money, Yeah, he gets.

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:43.919
<v Speaker 2>His calls are turned right away.

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>John Stewart was in the front row, Drake was in

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the front row, and it's the front row part is

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 1>pretty small. Well, Joe and I have been in the

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>front row for Sacramento Kings games, which is you know,

0:04:55.839 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 1>like in terms of competition wise so far that but

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>but it's a pretty small number of seats that are

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:06.159
<v Speaker 1>available for your front row seats. Yeah, it ain't a lot.

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 2>And people talk about who's in the front row.

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you know who that is?

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you know who that is?

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>There's a big difference between sitting in the front row

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and the second row. Yes, front row, your feet are

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>on the court, everybody can see you. Second row not

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 1>the same. But it'll be interesting to see now that

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>they're in the East Coast Finals, who who who manages

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>to squeeze out who for those front row seats? Who's

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the old director that was famously Spike Lee. Spike Lee's

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>still in the front row. Yeah, Kardashians and Tim Shallowmay. Though,

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 1>that's that's pretty that's pretty good. That's pretty heady of

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 1>coming Kardashians. So I realized they're like global whatever they are,

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>But come on, they're La.

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:47.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 2>The thing I was wondering, La Royalty should not be

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 2>in the front row the next game. That's just wrong.

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>The thing I was wondering about is uh, well, it's yeah,

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>it's because the ones dating Timothy shallow May, I think,

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>is how they in. But what I was wondering about,

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 1>do you have any say who you're sitting next to?

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>If I'm paying one hundred and fifty thousand dollars or whatever,

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe I don't want to sit next to I would

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>want to sit next to Tracy Morgan, but maybe you

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want to sit next to Tracy Morgan. I would

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.359
<v Speaker 1>think it would be hilarious. But or whoever it is,

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if you have any say whatsoever? You just

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 1>show up wondering yourself, what giant famous celebrity am I

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be sitting next to right.

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just sice. I don't know.

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I noticed Chalomey has like the very middle, like the

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>exact like your half court. Somebody decided he's that guy,

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 1>the it guy for that.

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, oh, I congratulate him. Try not to catch

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 2>a ball in the face, because man, they whipped that

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 2>thing around fast. So yes, Bill Maher doing his thing

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Friday night, found this fairly amusing this graduation season.

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I guess it's may going to my nephews next week.

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Uh high school?

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 2>High school?

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, uh huh. So that means we got the insufferable

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>college graduation with the speeches from people that I usually

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>find annoying. I get to listen to that.

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Here's absolute requirement. They're left of center.

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes, fantastic.

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 4>What happens during graduation season, as we know, is the

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 4>kids to go out there and it became a tradition

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 4>to put the message that you want to greet the

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 4>new world with on the top of your cap. So

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 4>every year, Sigma tradition here that we show you some

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 4>of the caps that we've seen.

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>What you like, you'll see. Okay, for example, I.

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Used I used AI to write this hard. I did it,

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 3>mam and elon, We'll hate America for food? Oh, I

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 3>think I see that on a hab Luigi.

0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll wait for you.

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Pronouns they have job prospects zero ZiLs Yes, living my

<v Speaker 3>tent from the quad to the sidewalk. Wow, maga the

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 3>whole time and no one found out. Now, thanks Bill Bellich.

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Wow, I like will hate America for food?

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Fine. I got a picture of my son's graduation cap

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 2>when he graduated a number of years ago from college

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 2>with this useless degree. Oh my god, you can ask him,

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 2>well you could? You could apply that to what percentage

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.200
<v Speaker 2>of degrees are close to useless?

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Half or more? Sir, I'm going to go two thirds.

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.439
<v Speaker 1>At this point in the university I near me and

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the degrees, I'm thinking two thirds.

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Nobody learns, nobody teaches, nobody studies.

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Who just loves that? Who's happy to have you because

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>you spent four years with your down trodden this or

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.199
<v Speaker 1>that studies? How does that help me as the employer

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>my son?

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 2>His graduation cap thingy was actually a quote from The

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Big Lebowski, which is maybe a paraphrasing of Nietzschee. But

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 2>it was a picture of Walter John Goodman from the

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Big Lebowski and the caption was if you will it, dude,

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 2>it is no dream. That was his graduation statement. Fantastic, ambitious, ironic.

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Big Lebowski related, all y'all get out there and support yourself.

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>That's what I want to see. That's what more graduation

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 1>speeches from celebrity should be. I want you all y'all

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>to go out there and support yourselves. Okay, but if

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you can't blame white people, you so, you don't need

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 1>to throw that in. They've been learning that for four years. Yeah,

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you need to add that on it.

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Just reminding them on their way out the door.

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Now, don't forget.

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.959
<v Speaker 2>As a woman studies major, I ended up on this show.

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:25.439
<v Speaker 1>So there you go, useless. Well, I guess that's it.
