What is discussed at the start of this section?
Welcome back to The Toast. Happy Monday. I'm back in New York City and let me tell you, the city is alive. It's a lie. People in the streets, like, it's literally, you know that scene in 500 Days of Summer when he finally gets laid and he leaves the house and there's, like, a musical going on outside? There's, like, a flash mob, the birds are chirping. That's what it is. First of all, it's just, like, gorgeous outside. Every single person is, like, in an amazing mood. There's a real, like, familial sort of energy. Like, everybody's high-fiving.
Everybody's wearing their merch. Everybody knows each other's names.
Literally. Like, fists pounding. You know, you see businessmen. Yeah.
non-businessmen like non-businessmen it's electric that's so beautiful it really is I'm like getting really swept up in it do you feel like a part of something major because you are Yeah. And you know, I know you had to go back for like other things, but you actually like had to be there for this moment.
Of course. No, it was not an option to stay in Florida one minute long.
No, no, no. You have to be there and like experience the camaraderie in the community.
The next one on Friday night and then tonight is game three. So they're up to zero. You have to.
How does the energy of New York City influence the conversation?
It's the first one to four. Yes. The next the next two games are at home. So like. I don't see how the Knicks don't sweep Knicks in four. Like I don't know how they lose two games in a row at home. Like they're obviously winning tonight. Like there's so much excitement.
Yeah, but sometimes like when you have everything at your back, like that's when it goes wrong. But also wouldn't it be fun if they don't win in four? They win still the series, but there's more games like in this feeling goes longer.
Like, yes, but then they win in Kansas. Where's the game? San Antonio, which is like not so the vibe.
Yeah, they should win here. It behooves them to win here.
And they need to win here because not only are they like prized to win, but they're also currently on track to match the NBA record. So they have not won. They have not lost a game. And I think maybe 12. This is their 12th win in a row in the playoffs. The last time that happened and the only other time it happened was 2017 with the Golden State Warriors. So if they win the next two, they will match the record for like 14 games in a row. So it's kind of like, it's just, they sort of like have to, they really have no choice.
And for her story.
And for Ben's story. Like there's no option other than winning these next two games. How is Ben's story? My husband is living in a dream. He has never been in a better mood. He's a delight to be around. It's affecting all, business, social, he's firing on all cylinders. He's literally never, ever been happier. And you know, it's infectious. Like I'm into it. Like let's fucking go. I'm watching like edits on TikTok, like Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton, like is Jalen Brunson reincarnated? Like I'm so in it. I see that. Everything I do is for the Knicks.
Like I just, people in New York are just, we're not okay. And I say, wait, yeah, I'm in it. It's very exciting. And I feel like other cities, they get this a lot and maybe they've taken it for granted and there's a lot of different sports where you can get it. I guess like New York always has like the Yankees. and the Yankees like stay winning, but it's different. No, it's not like, this is so different. Yeah. No, but it's, it's very, very cool to see. Yeah.
Very cool to see. And like, we were out and about all weekend. Like everyone, first of all, we only dressed Fu in like his Knicks merch and all the kids, everyone at the park, everything is Knicks. Like it's just. Knicks mania. it's nicks mania it's so much fun like this is the most fun i've ever had um it's just beautiful i'm really happy for my husband i'm happy for him too yeah this is huge major do i look different today no okay i am different inside or outside outside
