46.509 - 60.393 Ben Soffer

So I'm joined by not only my husband, not only my business partner and life partner, but the biggest Knicks fan you've ever met in your whole life and actually one of the 20,000 attendees of last night's historic NBA Finals game. Hey, Ben, how you doing?

0

61.275 - 74.959

I must correct what you said. How are you doing? You said post-euphoria, and I want you to know I don't know when I'll be post-euphoria. I'm getting FaceTime calls like I'm Eric Adams.

75.007 - 78.877 Ben Soffer

No, it feels like it's literally your... It's my team. It's your birthday.

I'm the mayor. I'm James Dolan.

Chapter 2: Why did Selena Gomez comment cryptically on Taylor Swift's Knicks game picture?

81.284 - 107.161

I own the team. Last night was... The worst night of my life turned greatest night of my life. I left and I went into the Grand Concourse and got three rolls of delicious sushi, by the way. Shout out Tao. What they do at that stadium to have quality sushi, okay? Everybody's like, you're eating sushi at the stadium? Like, yeah, it's fucking Tao.

0

107.261 - 109.485 Ben Soffer

Yeah, it was really good. They have amazing food at the Garden.

0

110.022 - 118.052

But I'm stress eating. I inhaled those rolls. We're looking at each other. We're down fucking 30. I'm like, what are we doing here?

0

118.112 - 132.25 Ben Soffer

Okay, so there is a vlog coming and I'm going to get it out today for Patreon. I vlogged the whole experience of us trying to get tickets on Monday, getting the tickets today, the actual game, the highs, the lows, the eating. It was such a journey. We were both there last night at the garden.

Chapter 3: What incident involved Victor Wembanyama after the Knicks' comeback?

132.43 - 148.696 Ben Soffer

It felt like seriously nothing else was going on in the world except for me. The Knicks game last night. There were so many celebrities in attendance, which we're going to talk about. I want to say the pre-Fast Five banner, the stories, it's all NBA. There's not even one other story worth talking about. Oh, there's a little drama with... which we'll talk about.

0

148.776 - 165.66 Ben Soffer

And I also want to talk about Jesse Solomon. But literally the world was watching last night and we were there. And when the game started and in the first quarter and the second quarter, like genuinely like just bad basketball, like I actually could have done a better job myself. And the Knicks were just like really getting stunted on.

0

Chapter 4: What timeline did Jesse Solomon reveal about Amanda and West's romance?

165.82 - 171.047 Ben Soffer

Victor Webinyama was like seriously being so annoying. When I tell you vibes were so low. They were horrible. Oh my God.

0

Chapter 5: Who exposed the Summer House reunion leak according to Andy Cohen?

171.147 - 176.074 Ben Soffer

And I kind of wanted to leave. I was like, do we have to stay the whole time when they're down by almost 30 points? Like no, right?

0

176.054 - 182.26

We can leave. We could have left. And I actually got... I got text... Jack texted me. He's like, please tell me you stayed.

0

182.521 - 182.762 Ben Soffer

Right.

0

182.782 - 191.654

Because I've left games like that. Like, when you're down 30... Sometimes it's just not your night. You can't leave game four of the NBA finals, especially, here's the thing.

0

191.674 - 197.302 Ben Soffer

You can't leave the playoffs when it's like that. The regular game, sure. But no, by the way, nobody left. There was not one.

197.402 - 206.195

Because it was so early. We went down so early. It wasn't like, okay, it's the middle of the fourth quarter. We're down 30 and it's dead. We were down 30. Literally, we blinked.

206.215 - 206.555 Ben Soffer

Yeah.

206.575 - 207.917

And we were down 29.

207.897 - 213.002 Ben Soffer

Yeah, it was really, um, it wasn't like this one moment where like everything turned around.

Chapter 6: What are the highlights from the Knicks game discussed in this episode?

213.282 - 230.337 Ben Soffer

They were just chipping away. They were down by 29 and then it was 28 and then it was 27. It was kind of fucking painful. And the whole time I was like, they're definitely going to come back and like be like an almost, almost win. But never in my life did I think that they were actually going to win. When I tell you, I thought that the garden, like the building was going to lift up off the ground.

230.357 - 243.451 Ben Soffer

Like people were screaming and Ben takes this shit so seriously. This is like the most important thing in his life. And he was literally, it was just an arena full of people like Ben, like seriously. holding their heads in shame, crying, excited. Like the emotions were so extreme.

0

243.632 - 262.997

This is deep cut childhood trauma. Like people, no, no, really people have, I'm so fortunate. I have the greatest family, greatest parents. I don't have any of that like traditional, like Josh and I talk about this all the time. Like Josh has some childhood trauma. I have trauma with the Knicks. I swear to God.

0

263.217 - 269.369 Ben Soffer

I've been a fan my entire life. Yes. You don't have childhood trauma. Yes, I do. Let's just not be dramatic. You don't have childhood trauma. Your parents are still married. Yes, I do. Your parents are still married.

269.469 - 281.813

They are 17 and 65. I watched every single game. The Knicks in 2015 were 17 and 65. Those were my boys.

281.793 - 284.837 Ben Soffer

Like, people get molested. Like, please, don't even think about it. Don't even compare yourself.

284.857 - 294.909

Okay, you could have let me make the comparison. You had to bring it dark. You had to bring it dark. You could have let me. Okay, I have childhood trauma from being a Knicks fan. And let me tell you, I was healed.

294.929 - 295.851 Claudia Oshry

That's a better way to say it.

295.871 - 303.86

I was healed last night. Now, I want to bring it back all the way to the beginning, okay? First and foremost, I went to game one of the NBA finals.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of celebrity presence at the Knicks game?

327.612 - 328.953

You have been trying to get tickets.

0

332.058 - 341.23 Ben Soffer

I don't want to spoil the vlog as to how we got tickets. And yes, we did do pay transparency. We told everyone how much we paid, but you have to watch the vlog to find out. But things worked out really well for us, I would say.

0

341.48 - 352.754

Things worked out really well, and if I didn't go to San Antonio, we probably wouldn't have gone to game four. That's all I'll say.

0

352.894 - 354.198 Ben Soffer

I have chills. Why do you think that?

0

354.499 - 355.422

Because of who I met.

355.79 - 357.933 Ben Soffer

Oh, it's true. It's true. We got our plug.

358.233 - 360.175

Our plug was met in San Antonio.

360.195 - 364.481 Ben Soffer

Shut up, Brett. It's so true. Don't want to spoil the vlog, but Brett's kind of like a major player in the vlog.

364.501 - 374.774

Yeah, Brett is a major player in the vlog. Okay. So that was that. First, even though like whatever, it didn't work out, like we didn't get them the way that we thought maybe we would get them, your effort did not go unnoticed.
