What significant event is celebrated at the beginning of the episode?
Hey guys, look, we got a great episode with Ali Sadiq today. Tanya got married this weekend, they ran out of toilet paper. Or it was some ceremonial thing where I got an amazing blessing. You guys decide. Anyway, before this amazing episode with Ali Sadiq, there are some things that we have to address. Some very important things that have happened in the world. The Knicks, after 53 years, are NBA champions. I'm so excited about it. I don't, uh... I don't know. I think this is a cool moment because people have actually realized the only sport New Yorkers all care about is basketball. There are New Yorkers who care about baseball. There's New Yorkers who care about football. There's New Yorkers who care about hockey.
But the only one that all of us come together to care about as a part of every single New Yorker's identity is basketball. And that's the only sport that we can all play growing up. My high school didn't have a fucking baseball diamond You know, it didn't have a football stadium. We had a basketball team, barely. It wasn't even a home court. We had to go to this place called Basketball City. It was like a facility that we would play our home games on. And, but yeah, so it's just, it's the sport that means the most to us. And, you know, we've suffered through, you know, half a century of losing and never got... We were bitter, but we never lost hope. We never lost hope. And hope is the religion of New York City.
Yeah, not to get too, like, existential, but that is what drives New York City. Like, nobody moves to New York City because they don't have, because they just want to kind of, like, see what it's like to live a mediocre life.
How does the discussion shift to the importance of basketball in New York culture?
Like, you move here because you have hopes and dreams and you hope to achieve them in New York. And we never lost hope. It's just the weirdest thing. Like, every single year we would have this, like, delusional Knicks fan thing where, like, we're like, yeah, this is the year. We're taking it all the way with Emmanuel Moutier, you know, and Jared Jack. And shout out to both of them. Now, Enos Kanter is going to bring us a chip. We would believe. We believed every single year for 42 years of my life, 53 years of other people's lives. And I think that's fucking awesome. It makes it that much sweeter. It makes it that much sweeter that, like, every single year felt like our year. Like, I was looking through my phone.
People are sending me videos. People are sending me videos of, like, a decade ago of me going, nah, Knicks are taking it this year for nothing. And then you look at the lineups of these teams. There's no way the Knicks are taking it this year. But we believe that that is one of those beautiful things about New York. And even the people that moved to New York to make a life here, they truly believe. They believe something crazy, something magical can happen. And that's exactly right. What we all got to witness.
What are the key differences between basketball eras discussed?
Also, I'm doing this movie out in California and they shaved my mustache and it took like five, ten years off of my life. I feel like I'm on guy code again. It's absolutely insane. I don't even know if I'm looking into the right part. I don't even know where the camera is. I'm recording this on my phone, obviously. But yeah, they snatched my stash, bro. The games were nuts. We're going to get to this episode. It's a phenomenal episode. You guys are going to love it. This is the jersey that I wore when we... Finished it up. Game five in San Antonio. I was at game three, four, and five. How fucking lucky. How lucky. How incredible. Think about that. Think about that. Four was the greatest sporting event that I'll ever experience in my entire life.
I'll never experience anything like that. That is it. It's all downhill from here when it comes to sporting events. And then five was just complete euphoria. Like, I gotta be honest. The San Antonio fans were very cool. They're very sweet. They're great fans. And they're used to winning. They're not combative. But with all due respect to San Antonio fans, it was a home game in there. I mean, I'm being conservative when I say this.
