Speaker 1: I'm not sitting next to her. It's one more thing.
Speaker 1: I'm one more thing. So I got some good stuff
Speaker 1: here of Bill Maher had some funny stuff Friday night
Speaker 1: about college graduation season. We'll get to here in just
Speaker 1: a second. I'm not setting not setting next to her.
Speaker 1: I'm referencing the New York's Knicks New York Knicks games.
Speaker 1: So the New York Knicks are good again, and they're
Speaker 1: in the West or the Eastern Conference finals for the
Speaker 1: first time in a quarter century. And it has become
Speaker 1: like star studded. You got to be there, as always
Speaker 1: happens anytime a New York team gets good, right. But
Speaker 1: I was reading this thing from uh, Howard Stern the
Speaker 1: other day. He was actually talking about it on his show.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't listen, but I was reading it,
Speaker 1: and he was talking about how if he ever couldn't
Speaker 1: sit in the front row, he wouldn't go, he would
Speaker 1: realize that, you know, he's got to retire or whatever. Wow,
Speaker 1: And it got into the whole how that whole thing works.
Speaker 1: And I've always kind of wondered about that. It was
Speaker 1: true with the Lakers whenever they get really, really good,
Speaker 1: you know, Jack Nicholson famously or whatever, but not like
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden because there's just just just it just
Speaker 1: always seems to be a bigger group of celebrities in
Speaker 1: that front row and Madison Square Garden when the Knicks
Speaker 1: are hot and the competition is so high, because it's
Speaker 1: so condensed there in Manhattan, and I was a little
Speaker 1: reading a little bit about how that whole thing works,
Speaker 1: and there is like a special its own thing is
Speaker 1: that front row because like I was watching last week,
Speaker 1: like did Timothy Shallomey decide that day he was going
Speaker 1: to the game, does he have season tickets or what? No,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's its own thing. It's its own like
Speaker 1: super rich famous people broker thingy, and they all get involved.
Speaker 1: Now nobody quite knows who makes the cut and doesn't
Speaker 1: and who who's in control of the gate keeping on that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I was just gonna ask, do the Knicks run that
Speaker 1: or it doesn't seem to be It seems to be
Speaker 1: a third part things somehow, okay, which I gotta believe.
Speaker 1: You know, there's all kinds of things involved. There's just money.
Speaker 1: There's just flat out how much are you willing to spend?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 1: There's also Madison Square Garden slash the Knicks. It's a
Speaker 1: better look for them to have certain people on the
Speaker 1: front row than other people, and that matters to their
Speaker 1: money too. Wow.
Speaker 2: So you think there's somebody who if you know, the
Speaker 2: guy who owns four or four dealerships in the Tri
Speaker 2: state area, calls up and says, yeah, I'll give you
Speaker 2: a ten k apiece for those seats. They're like, no,
Speaker 2: we got to keep those seats open in case a
Speaker 2: big name called.
Speaker 1: Well certainly, now, I gotta believe ten k is incredibly
Speaker 1: low number.
Speaker 2: You never the number is, but you'll reject a successful
Speaker 2: businessman while waiting all the famous TV chef.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's probably more like one hundred k. But
Speaker 1: you want Timothy Shallomey and whichever Jenner that he is
Speaker 1: dating right now, you want them on the front row.
Speaker 1: Who does the Knicks? I gotta believe they're not running
Speaker 1: the ticket. I gotta believe lots of people do. And
Speaker 1: it all factors in together. The Knicks want it, Madison
Speaker 1: Square Garden wants it, tn T wants it. It's better
Speaker 1: for T and T, it's better for so many people.
Speaker 1: It's got to all fit together.
Speaker 2: Somehow, Well, I'm trying to I'm trying to puzzle out
Speaker 2: who Why would the person who actually has those tickets
Speaker 2: give a crap? It could be it benefits them to
Speaker 2: keep it like so attractive that Hollywood stars go, So
Speaker 2: I would only sell them to the Ford, you know,
Speaker 2: franchise e guy. If there are definitely no stars who
Speaker 2: wanted to go tonight.
Speaker 1: Now, well, now that Howard Stern talking about how you
Speaker 1: know they make a decision and who gets to go
Speaker 1: and who doesn't whoever they is because he used to
Speaker 1: be on the front row a lot when the Knicks
Speaker 1: were really good.
Speaker 2: Billy Crystal, No, Billy Crystal was a Clippers fan, right
Speaker 2: la Clippers but.
Speaker 1: Like soapers, Yeah, the coming weeks, it's going to be
Speaker 1: very competitive. Timothy Chlamy is a good example because he's
Speaker 1: like giant movie star young. He also has been a
Speaker 1: Knicks fan forever. There's a cool picture last week of
Speaker 1: him as like an eight year old getting an autograph
Speaker 1: from Amari Stottemeyer when he was a Nick back in
Speaker 1: the day. And so now he gets to sit in
Speaker 1: the front row without he's a big star with one
Speaker 1: of the Kardashians. And then her sister. So that's a
Speaker 1: pretty good get for whoever's benefiting from this. Yeah, Tracy
Speaker 1: Morgan's always there. That might just be money though, because
Speaker 1: he got that two hundred million dollars because the Walmart
Speaker 1: truck ran into him and almost killed him, so he
Speaker 1: got too. So he's so wealthy. Combination of celebrity and
Speaker 1: the amount of money, Yeah, he gets.
Speaker 2: His calls are turned right away.
Speaker 1: John Stewart was in the front row, Drake was in
Speaker 1: the front row, and it's the front row part is
Speaker 1: pretty small. Well, Joe and I have been in the
Speaker 1: front row for Sacramento Kings games, which is you know,
Speaker 1: like in terms of competition wise so far that but
Speaker 1: but it's a pretty small number of seats that are
Speaker 1: available for your front row seats. Yeah, it ain't a lot.
Speaker 2: And people talk about who's in the front row.
Speaker 1: Do you know who that is?
Speaker 2: Do you know who that is?
Speaker 1: There's a big difference between sitting in the front row
Speaker 1: and the second row. Yes, front row, your feet are
Speaker 1: on the court, everybody can see you. Second row not
Speaker 1: the same. But it'll be interesting to see now that
Speaker 1: they're in the East Coast Finals, who who who manages
Speaker 1: to squeeze out who for those front row seats? Who's
Speaker 1: the old director that was famously Spike Lee. Spike Lee's
Speaker 1: still in the front row. Yeah, Kardashians and Tim Shallowmay. Though,
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty that's pretty good. That's pretty heady of
Speaker 1: coming Kardashians. So I realized they're like global whatever they are,
Speaker 1: But come on, they're La.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 2: The thing I was wondering, La Royalty should not be
Speaker 2: in the front row the next game. That's just wrong.
Speaker 1: The thing I was wondering about is uh, well, it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's because the ones dating Timothy shallow May, I think,
Speaker 1: is how they in. But what I was wondering about,
Speaker 1: do you have any say who you're sitting next to?
Speaker 1: If I'm paying one hundred and fifty thousand dollars or whatever,
Speaker 1: maybe I don't want to sit next to I would
Speaker 1: want to sit next to Tracy Morgan, but maybe you
Speaker 1: don't want to sit next to Tracy Morgan. I would
Speaker 1: think it would be hilarious. But or whoever it is,
Speaker 1: I wonder if you have any say whatsoever? You just
Speaker 1: show up wondering yourself, what giant famous celebrity am I
Speaker 1: going to be sitting next to right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just sice. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I noticed Chalomey has like the very middle, like the
Speaker 1: exact like your half court. Somebody decided he's that guy,
Speaker 1: the it guy for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh, I congratulate him. Try not to catch
Speaker 2: a ball in the face, because man, they whipped that
Speaker 2: thing around fast. So yes, Bill Maher doing his thing
Speaker 2: Friday night, found this fairly amusing this graduation season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess it's may going to my nephews next week.
Speaker 1: Uh high school?
Speaker 2: High school?
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh huh. So that means we got the insufferable
Speaker 1: college graduation with the speeches from people that I usually
Speaker 1: find annoying. I get to listen to that.
Speaker 2: Here's absolute requirement. They're left of center.
Speaker 1: Yes, fantastic.
Speaker 4: What happens during graduation season, as we know, is the
Speaker 4: kids to go out there and it became a tradition
Speaker 4: to put the message that you want to greet the
Speaker 4: new world with on the top of your cap. So
Speaker 4: every year, Sigma tradition here that we show you some
Speaker 4: of the caps that we've seen.
Speaker 1: What you like, you'll see. Okay, for example, I.
Speaker 3: Used I used AI to write this hard. I did it,
Speaker 3: mam and elon, We'll hate America for food? Oh, I
Speaker 3: think I see that on a hab Luigi.
Speaker 1: I'll wait for you.
Speaker 3: Pronouns they have job prospects zero ZiLs Yes, living my
Speaker 3: tent from the quad to the sidewalk. Wow, maga the
Speaker 3: whole time and no one found out. Now, thanks Bill Bellich.
Speaker 1: Wow, I like will hate America for food?
Speaker 2: Fine. I got a picture of my son's graduation cap
Speaker 2: when he graduated a number of years ago from college
Speaker 2: with this useless degree. Oh my god, you can ask him,
Speaker 2: well you could? You could apply that to what percentage
Speaker 2: of degrees are close to useless?
Speaker 1: Half or more? Sir, I'm going to go two thirds.
Speaker 1: At this point in the university I near me and
Speaker 1: the degrees, I'm thinking two thirds.
Speaker 2: Nobody learns, nobody teaches, nobody studies.
Speaker 1: Who just loves that? Who's happy to have you because
Speaker 1: you spent four years with your down trodden this or
Speaker 1: that studies? How does that help me as the employer
Speaker 1: my son?
Speaker 2: His graduation cap thingy was actually a quote from The
Speaker 2: Big Lebowski, which is maybe a paraphrasing of Nietzschee. But
Speaker 2: it was a picture of Walter John Goodman from the
Speaker 2: Big Lebowski and the caption was if you will it, dude,
Speaker 2: it is no dream. That was his graduation statement. Fantastic, ambitious, ironic.
Speaker 2: Big Lebowski related, all y'all get out there and support yourself.
Speaker 1: That's what I want to see. That's what more graduation
Speaker 1: speeches from celebrity should be. I want you all y'all
Speaker 1: to go out there and support yourselves. Okay, but if
Speaker 1: you can't blame white people, you so, you don't need
Speaker 1: to throw that in. They've been learning that for four years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to add that on it.
Speaker 2: Just reminding them on their way out the door.
Speaker 1: Now, don't forget.
Speaker 2: As a woman studies major, I ended up on this show.
Speaker 1: So there you go, useless. Well, I guess that's it.
