Chapter 1: Who is missing from the show and why?
shadow show shadow show shadow show shadow show shadow show shadow show shadow in it shadow in it i would like assistance from the group here today and zaslo thank you so much we broke glass in case of emergency zaslo's been on a heater here for months and he can't show up for work enough in enough places to get money because he wasn't even supposed to be here today love money
Well, that seat is usually occupied by somebody who also loves money. And there has been some turbulence in the air that people are asking about. Where's Stugatz? Where's Stugatz? I was just talking with Zaslow and Cody about how lovely it is to watch them build businesses. That Zaslow's got his show and it's a business. Cody's got his show and it's a business.
And Stugatz has his shows and they're a business. And so... We haven't reported this because people have been yelling and screaming in public, wondering about Stugatz and Stugatz has been missing a lot. But Stugatz wants to follow his daughter around late in life.
And Stugatz is signed here to a contract that allows him to live the rest of his life the way that he deserves to, that he's earned because this thing has been built so that we can all get to freedom. But his freedom makes it so that we need him after the single biggest thing the Knicks have done in 25 years.
And he simply can't physically get here because over the last four years, it's been hard to physically get him here. So I ask you, Mike, what am I to do today as the Knicks have not felt this good in 25 years?
that viewing experience of new york boston is going to resonate across the country as a big series because holy shit new york's an underdog what are you talking about new york the knicks have been a laughing stock for twenty five years and they've got this they've got the champs on the brink with the smallest conqueror that there is in the sport. That dude, Jalen Brunson, has become a superstar.
And I tried to tell this story last week and never got to the ending. When game one happened, I didn't know who to root for. At the end of the game, I found myself rooting for Boston because I've hated the Knicks for a long time. And I'm like, wow, I did not know that was there. That's surprising. And then game two started. And I'm like, I'm falling in love with Brunson. How is this happening?
How am I falling in love with a Knick? And from right then on, The next three games, I find myself, I want Boston to cry. What I want the most is for Boston to cry.
Boy, did you turn that around.

Chapter 2: Why are Knicks fans suddenly so excited about the NBA playoffs?
I slept so well. When's the last time? Hold on. Get in that position again. And when is the last time? That's every Panthers night, right?
Oh, you better believe it.
Okay, so I thought I was good with money. Turns out I was really good at ignoring it. Like how am I spending this much on delivery or Uber or that one shoe store that I buy too many shoes from?
