Chapter 4: What were the highlights of the Knicks parade?
United States and Australia. The last match against Paraguay, prime time, big numbers. Scotland and Morocco, Brazil and Haiti, Turkey and Paraguay. Those are the matchups here. Paulie, any idea why USA is going to play at 3 Eastern time?
Yeah, you'd think also because of the location, you could go as late as you wanted in the day and do it at 8 p.m. I know it's a holiday for a lot of people, but the bar is opening early on the West Coast. It's tougher. I think it's going to do a lower rating.
Well, it'll do a lower rating because if it was in prime time, you're going to have more eyeballs here. So just doing the math, afternoon, who's going to be able to watch? And, I mean, it's a good excuse to take a lunch break and not come back. Yes, Todd?
And for those heading to Lumen Field where the Seahawks play, it's actually Seattle Stadium because of those FIFA rules.
Oh, that's right. Yeah, so far, it's just the Los Angeles Stadium. Yeah, Paul?
The Patriots Stadium, what is that called these days? Where the New England Patriots have Gillette. They have on every single seat Gillette Stadium. Someone had to go around and put a piece of blue tape on every single of the 60,000 seats in that stadium.
How long does that take?
Is it just one guy? Let's say 20 seconds a seat, 70,000 seats.
I don't know if this is like Lambeau where they say, hey, who wants to shovel snow? And you go in there and you get to say you shoveled snow. I don't know if you have a tape guy or guys where you go, all right, guys, come on in. And then you have, you know, 50 tape guys taking down a section or two. All right. What's poll question for the first hour of the program?

Chapter 5: Why was Patrick Ewing disrespected at the Knicks parade?
Okay, you ready, Dan? Think about your answer.
Which would you rather have happen?
Your favorite football team wins the title or Super Bowl this upcoming season, college or pro, your favorite football team, or the USA could win this World Cup. You get to choose. Well, I don't have any favorite teams in NFL or college, so I would say USA winning the World Cup. To see that in my lifetime, that would be pretty amazing. Todd, Broncos or Team USA winning?
I will take a fourth Denver Broncos Super Bowl title over Team USA World Cup. Sorry. Dylan, how about you? Raven, Super Bowl, or it's tough not to pick another Super Bowl. I might go Team USA World Cup just because I think it's in America. We can then say it's staying home because I know the English love to say it's coming home. I think that'd be fun. How about you, Marvin?
The 49ers win the Super Bowl. Okay. Well, that was quick. Paul, the Bears win the Super Bowl.
This is as tough of a decision as there is, and I wrote it. I would pick USA because I think the Bears have other chances. One out of every four years. This would be really special. Also, as a producer, you root for the best stories. So I would go USA winning the World Cup.
Yeah, I would too. But once again, I don't have a favorite team. If you said, oh, the Bengals winning the Super Bowl, they've gone to three of them and played really close Super Bowls. But I'd be fine with the USA World Cup. How about you, Dylan? Well, I think it very much depends on who you're a fan of. Like what's been your Super Bowl or national title drought? amount of time.
Yeah, if you're a Lions fan and a Buffalo Bills fan... It's a no-brainer. No. Vikings fan. I would also probably still take a Ravens Super Bowl. But if you're a Seahawks fan, are you rooting for repeat? Or are you rooting... Is that you, Todd?
That was me. My mic wasn't even on.

Chapter 6: How does the Knicks parade compare to other championship celebrations?
And if you're a true patriot, this year is the 250th year of America. Oh, curveball. Come on. My country, tis of thee, sweet land of liberty. Todd, you're not singing. Of thee I sing. Treasonous Todd over here.
But for someone that's not a big soccer fan, it's just unheard of to me that someone would pick that over a college or a pro championship.
Yeah, but I'm thinking about the country.
I understand.
I'm thinking about a lot of people, Todd. You being selfish. True to form.
I'll take the sport with the two-minute drill over the end. It's over. Extended minutes. We don't know how many minutes. We're going to play. We're going to play forever. We're not going to play. It's just going to end abruptly.
I would think you would like the hydration breaks that they have. I do like the hydration. They would have, like, now, didn't they used to have, like, orange breaks or, you know, you get oranges or slices or something there? Sandwich break? Yeah, Paul? So the back story on hydration breaks, Qatar gets the World Cup.
Of course, it's a million degrees.
I'm rounding up in Qatar during the World Cup matches. And they had to do hydration breaks for safety. And somehow this got kind of grandfathered into this World Cup. And now they do two commercials each one.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Knicks parade organization?
Okay, now we're ready to go back on the pitch with our hydration break. Hydration, how are you? Yes, Dylan. It would be great if it was like a youth soccer break where it's like some poor mother forgot she had to go get three dozen oranges and is at the grocery store at 7 sprinting over to the sideline. Rice Krispie treats for everybody. Oh, that sounds good, actually.
Any other poll questions here? Oh, Paul, okay. I have another one based off USA versus Australia and my past experience dating.
Which nationality of bro would you not want talking to your wife slash girlfriend when you walked away to the bathroom in a restaurant?
Australian, French, Italian, other?
I'd say Australian. That's actually the answer. Yeah. I mean, I've witnessed the Italian talking to my wife. A little handsy. Yeah. Who was the guy who played at North Carolina? Was his name Hansy Nod? Like he was a seven-footer. I don't think he was any good, but I thought they had a guy named Hansy, like G-N-A-D, Hansy Nod. Does that sound right? Yeah, Paul? You got hit in the nods one time.
I was once on a second date in New York City, Dan, and I somehow brought this girl to an Australian bar. It was just, we're walking down the street. Every guy in the bar looked like Chris Hemsworth.
All the eight packs of abs.
I barely made it out alive. That's the genesis of the poll. I remember I was taking out a girl, and she was a reporter before I met my wife. And a friend of mine found out that I was going to take her out for drinks, and he loved her. He thought, oh, my God, she's beautiful. And I said, well, why don't you join us, Chris? Chris has an accent.
It didn't take long for Chris and this news reporter and I was the third wheel. They're making out in front of me. That's how bad it was. It was like a handoff.

Chapter 8: How do fans feel about the Knicks' parade route and organization?
I was like, wait a minute. I invited him. Hey, all right, I'm leaving. And then nobody said anything. God, I should have had an accent. Yes, Marvin. Does it work the same way overseas? With Americans? Yeah, if Americans go overseas. I love his American accent.
I've never heard somebody say, unless you're from Texas, if you got a southern draw, maybe they would think that was cute, but I can't imagine somebody. Like, I'm from the Midwest. We don't have an accent. So nobody's going, man, I love the fact you don't have an accent. Yeah, Paul. I think the Australian accent is the one seed, though, right? Yeah. Yeah. I knew a guy in New York City.
He was originally from Australia. He became a fireman in New York City, and he was jacked. He had to fight women off. He had to leave the country to get away from all the women that were after him. Todd, is there a guy named Hansi Nod?
There was a center on the German basketball squad, finishing 7th at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Hansi Nod, if you're pronouncing it right, later turned into coaching in Dusseldorf and had several stages with the German Basketball Federation.
It's Dusseldorf.
Want to call it Dusseldorf?
Yeah.
Dusseldorf. And I was a salutatorian. Participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympics with the German Basketball Federation. Dusseldorf.
Hansi Nad. It's Beijing. Did he play at North Carolina? Did he play college here? I don't know how in the hell I came up with Hansi Nad. But... It could have been the other Hansi. Okay. Yeah, Paul. Are you thinking that one guy in North Carolina, Gert Hammack or something like that? No, no, because we're talking Hansi.
