Chapter 1: What is Magic City and why is it famous?
Did you ever go to Magic City Strip Club down in Atlanta? Ah, man. I don't know if it was around back when I was in the 90s. There was one that we went to down there with the NBA players. The Gold Club. The Gold Club. That's what it was. That's where all the Knicks were, right? Wasn't that the big thing with the Knicks back then? I think there was a huge all-star game down there.
Chapter 2: How did NBA players interact with strip clubs in the past?
And like I was saying before, I don't know if you were here last week when I was telling the story, but Somebody called in and said I was mentioned in the movie Air about Michael Jordan. I said, well, I had the same agent. Right. David Folk. Yeah, why get mentioned in the movie? But I would hang out with all those NBA players in the 80s and 90s. Right.
We'd go to all the different all-star events and stuff. appearances and things like that. Yeah. Right. So Magic City is a famous club. We were down in Atlanta. I mean, I tell you, if I went, we did not go. I guess the most famous one where I had been was Vegas and the Spearmint Rhino. I guess it was probably the most famous strip club. I know Magic City is a very... Spearmint Rhino?
Oh, yeah, yeah. You don't know the Spearmint Rhino? I do not know the Spearmint Rhino. Very famous. Very famous in Vegas. I know the Dollhouse. The dollhouse. You don't know the dollhouse? How do you not know the dollhouse? Well, it was on Long Island. Sunrise Highway. It was pink. Well, I'll tell you. I don't know the dollhouse because it wasn't alive. That's why.
But I remember when people talk about it, that it was open, but it was not open when I was anywhere near old enough to go in there. And then the dollhouse in Fort Lauderdale that Al mentions all the time. It's in that song. Oh, very famous place. Indeed. So Magic City is so famous that the Atlanta Hawks are having a Magic City night at the arena.
This would have totally been a Sports Minute spot for you. 100%. You would have been licking your chops for this one. So they have the hoodies that they're putting out and everything. And Luke Cornett, he is not a fan of this at all. So Luke Cornett comes out and says... Let's see. I'm reading from TMZ here. Spurs. He's now with the Spurs, Luke Cornett. Are they playing the Hawks in this game?
I don't know. No, it's the Orlando Magic to capitalize on. Oh, I see. Why would Luke Cornett get involved and say something? Well, because he's saying that this is a terrible look for the NBA and what type of message does it send to women? He goes, the NBA should desire to protect and esteem women, many of whom work diligently every day to make this the best basketball league in the world.
We should promote an atmosphere that is protective and respectful of the daughters, wives, sisters, mothers, and partners that we know and love. Regardless of how a woman finds her way into the adult entertainment industry, many in this space experience abuse, harassment, and violence to which they should never be subjected. He continued and went on and on.
Well, I got to say that is a tremendous, tremendous statement. It is. But are they going forth with it? Oh, yeah. And is the NBA sanctioning this? Everything's good? Oh, yeah. No, I mean, everybody gets good. I mean, the tickets sold out very quickly. Apparently, everybody, what was it, 90% of social media positivity that the organization came out. Incredible implants.
And said, you know, I mean, it's a business. It's open. Nobody is, well, you would hope not, at an establishment that is this famous is being held against their will there. And many of these women go on to become doctors. Indeed. Or famous actresses. Or Cardi B. Yeah. Cardi B was a stripper and moved on. Okay. So, yeah, I mean, I obviously.

Chapter 3: What is Luke Cornett's opinion on the Atlanta Hawks' Magic City Night?
I mean, some people do like taking their clothes off. You may not be one of them. No, I do not. No, I do not. Not at all. By the way, I burned very quickly. Even with 50 SPF. Really? Still got burned. Yeah, but you got that Italian olive skin. It was just a long winter, man. Very long. No sun. No outside. Just lit up like Dan Patrick's office. And just lit him. You see that story? Yes.
He's burning incense. His office caught on fire. Yeah, well, he's got all that stuff around him. Yeah. He's got so... I have a lot of stuff. Man, that guy's got a lot of stuff. He's got a lot of stuff. So anyway, yeah, I mean, is... I just feel like Luke Cornett's, I appreciate his, his statement, the way he feels about it. But I mean, I don't know.
It feels like it's a little bit missing the mark with this one. I mean, the, the people, I mean, people that are. Yeah, but he has a reasonable take on it. So I'm not like totally upset by it. No, I'm not. I mean, and he's allowed to have a take on it. Sure. And I think it's a respectful take. It's a respectful take. Yeah, absolutely. But they ain't stopping it, Luke.
They're going magic city night.
Chapter 4: Why do some people criticize the NBA's partnership with adult entertainment?
Now, the thing would be if he had a game there and he said, I'm not playing in it because of what you're doing around the game, that would be interesting. The fact that he's not playing in it. Yeah, true. So are there going to be a lot of Magic City dancers there, I guess? No, no, no. I don't think that. No, no, no. No. I'm not dancing without their tops on. No, no, no.
Nobody is representing the club. I don't believe there will be any female dancers from the club there. And it's interesting that it's Magic City Night with the Orlando Magic coming to town in Atlanta. Yeah, that's why they did it. I know. But so why are you promoting the Magic when you're the Hawks? Well, they're just using the night, you know, and it's sort of like, I don't know, whatever.
Why don't they have live Hawk Night or something? And I guess the second... What? Huh? What did you say? I didn't say anything. You said... I said what? Well, you said something about symbolism. Cultural institution is what they call it. That's what they call it. The second most famous thing they're known for. Chicken wings. Right, lemon pepper.
Chapter 5: What does Luke Cornett say about respect for women in sports?
Very large breasts. Yeah, lemon pepper wings. Yeah, so T.I., the rapper T.I., you know, he's talked many times about the famous chicken wings, exclusive merch and more. So, yeah, it's a famous place. So it's a cultural institution is what it is. So they're teaming up with him. And we team up here with, what is that? What is it? Gallagher's? Gallagher's 2000, 3000. Hey, big boy. Yeah.
Hey, big boy. A gentleman club for today, gentlemen. Yeah, for today's gentlemen. That smell good. Hey, big boy. What you're doing? It's like that particle commercial on TV. They have like the three models. Oh, if you smell this good, you're a gentleman. You know, there is a... Do you know this audio, Eddie? I just popped in my head because they're talking about Gallagher's 3000. Is when or 2000?
When Minko was reading a read and then halfway through realized it was a strip club? Yes. Do you have any... It's like, oh, and you're going to go there, and it's going to be a great place for you and your family with the dancers and what? This is a strip club. I don't want to read this.
Chapter 6: How has social media reacted to the Magic City Night event?
That's what he said. Yeah, whatever it was. I think Monzo gave him the read. Gentleman's Club. Gentleman's Club. The hottest exotic entertainers from around the world. This is a strip club.
remember this oh i don't know how long ago was that a story a day is definitely oh my god you remember that it was recorded in studio c it was just funny piece of audio i'm doing a commercial for a strip con i don't want to do it he's like there's one he's like oh like a little kid in there it's just oh it's so good I'm doing a commercial for a strip club. Exotic dancers. Lemon pepper wings.
Big butts. Big boobs. So are the Hawks sold out? Yeah, I guess so. Wow. They've done well. So if you go to this Hawks game and it's Magic Night against the Orlando Magic, what are you receiving as a patron? Are you receiving like a hoodie or something? Well, the hoodies, you can buy the hoodies. Okay, you can buy the hoodies. Yeah. They're serving the wings.
I guess they have some of the DJs who play music at the club will be at the game playing music in between things. Okay. So you have that. It'll feel like a strip club. Go shizzle. Go shizzle. So how much do you think the club has paid the Hawks to be able to do this? Straight cash, homie. It's got to be a lot of money. It's got to be a big, big number, man. Well...
I would say for an NBA team to accept this, I'd say it's got to at least be half a million. Maybe we can ask my buddy who's part owner of the team. Oh, that's right. Yeah. I didn't even think about that. You should have. You know, Jamie Girtz is one of the owners of that team. Yeah, I know. She threw out of the owner's box. I wonder what she thinks about this.
Does she have the same take as Luke Cornett? No, I actually saw a quote from her. She's very excited about it. All right, great. Look at that. This is a strip club. I don't know if you have the full audio of that. There's one more piece in there that's great. I don't want to do this. He really sounds like a four-year-old where he's like, I don't want to eat that or something. This isn't good.
He's like, I don't want to read that. Well, I mean, let me ask you a question. I guess you could say I wouldn't want to read it, right? He didn't read it. Oh, he didn't read it.

Chapter 7: What special promotions are associated with Magic City Night?
I mean, they did not use his voice on it. I think they went with Paul R. Zuman. Oh, okay. Exotic women. Lap dances. Big booties. Large breasts. Champagne room. Well, he has more of an exotic voice than Minko does. John Minko. Go into the back room. Get a bottle of champagne. Let them steal your credit card. That doesn't happen at these places. Come on. No. These are big businesses. We're okay.
Everybody's fine. If there was one, if the Knicks were to partner up with a New York Gentleman's Club. Scores. Is scores still popular? I remember them and Howard Stern show had a big thing back in the 90s. There's the Hustler Club over here. Larry Flint's Hustler Club. Yeah, that's on the West Side Highway. It looks like a palace. Yeah. That could be one of them.
I don't know what the most famous strip club in New York is these days. Scores was definitely it there for a while. That was the one. They were smart because they teamed up with Howard during his heyday, and everybody went to Scores. And then the Hustler Club, you see when we're driving out of here. You see it. Yeah. I don't know any other one. I don't know. I didn't even know that.
I thought there was Flash Dancers or something. Yeah, that's one. Isn't that down here? You know where you know that from is on all the cabs. That's right. The yellow cabs all used to have the Flash Dance thing on the top of it. Right. I remember when I was living in here, young guy, single, you'd get in those cabs, and then they'd try to, like, hey, what are you doing tonight? I don't know.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of the Atlanta Hawks promoting Magic City?
That place was a little dicey. And then there was the one underneath the bridge. It's got a funny name, too. Scandals? Yeah, I think it might be scandals. I was going to say excuses. It's something like that. Like regret. That was the one Minka was doing the read for. Oh, that's what it was? Yes. Scandals. That's how it's labeled. Under 9th, 59th Street Bridge. Scandals. Bring some cash.
See some boobs. And watch a game. The hottest exotic entertainers from around the world. Around the world. Give me a Brazilian. Scandals, yeah. Oh, Connie Johnson. Yeah, back in those days, like those, you know, early 20s living in Astoria, me and Monzo. I don't know if Sal really partook. He was not as...
adventurous but me and monzo definitely went to riviera on steinway street and definitely went to scandals 100 that riviera man that was a little sketchy yeah we definitely look like marks in that place i'm surprised we didn't get clubbed by a poacher and skinned you know i am i'm surprised we made it out of that place I think we might have gone back to, like, I don't know.
You do dumb things when you're young, you know? Yes. A couple drinks. It's like, ah, wasn't that bad, was it? Whoa, no. Oh, man, you knocked Rick Pitino's head off. That's not a good sign. I mean, and it broke. Well, that's not my fault. You just knocked it off. Look at that. Do you have any glue? That's poorly made. You had it on an unstable surface. I decapitated Rick Pitino. That's not good.
No. That's not good. Do you have any crazy glue or anything? I don't have any glue, no. Somebody has some glue around here. We could tape it back on. You have some tape? I mean, Martin Travers could probably make his own glue back there. There you go. I'm sorry, Rick. This looks more like Frankie Valli anyway. That's what I was saying the other day, that Rick's got to be really happy with that.
Scotch tape? Yeah. Here we go. I'm sorry, Rick. I like Rick a lot, obviously. He's a good dude. I cannot believe you just knocked the pedal. I didn't. I slammed the desk as like a joke about something, and then it fell. It's poorly made. You should have never put it there. Well, I was highlighting him. Ah, it's not going to work. See, his head's too heavy. Hold on a second. Hold on.
Well, I can't, you know, if you had mine, man, there's no way. Let's just do it this way, maybe. Put it here and here. And then... There's no way. I got an idea. You have an idea? Yep. Okay. Attach it here. Okay. And then here. Look at that. Careful now. You just put it in front of you now. I fixed it. I figure we like to have something up here that reflects the moment in the sports year.
Obviously, March Madness is right around the corner. Can you zoom in on that, Stephen Waldron, please? On this whole mic? Here we go. Let's put one on the side here, too. By the way, you weren't here yesterday. We had a guy calling from Florida who was homeless, and he had a song called Cool Names, and he included Stephen Waldron. Did he? Yeah. I mean, that's perfect. Look at how it fixed that.
You would never know that the head just fell off. I mean, that's a great job of slapping that thing together, if you ask me. Well, temporarily. Yeah, that's a bad one. I mean, it's poorly made. The thing can't just fall down and decapitate the guy. I mean, it's not on me. I mean, it is a delicate bobblehead. So they canceled that card night, by the way? I guess the thing got too crazy.
