In 2022...

the great New York Times journalist, Cashmere Hill, who literally wrote the book on facial recognition.

Her book is called Your Face Belongs to Us, and I recommend it.

Yes.

She actually broke the story that Madison Square Garden, also Radio City Music Hall, the various properties owned by Dolan, were excluding not just the lawyers who brought lawsuits against them, but every lawyer in their firm.

And she called me up for comment.

And this is where we get the headline, Ben chickened out.

That's right.

I sued the CIA, the NSA.

I traveled to Yemen to take on the case of Anwar al-Awlaki's family.

I've been to Guantanamo.

I've been to Moscow.

And I told Kashmir Hill she should call the Electronic Frontier Foundation because it's based in San Francisco and they're Warriors fans.

They would get exactly the same quote, and they'd get it from someone who didn't depend on going to the garden 12 times a year for happiness.

Yes.

But, you know, you and Noah shamed me.

Fear, but let's also give credit where due.

Grudgingly respected as well.

I actually think his band doesn't suck.

We'll get to JD in a straight shot.
