Feful terms at mintMobile dot com d Hey, Isabella, you know how when people lose their fantasy football league sometimes I don't. ctually I never w How did I not see that coming? She's absolutely right. Well Let me explain to you then sometimes. When people aren't as good at fantasy football as, say you, they lose their league. And the way that the winner gets something, the loser usually has some sort of a task that they have to complete something embarrassing or something difficult to do. We've seen before guys have to go to like waffle house and eat waffles and stay there for twenty four hours. We saw one I saw one this weekend that caught my eye. I wanted to share with you. So this came from at to the Ta on Instagram. They're golf content creators. and they have a ten man league And they posted a video of the guy who came in Tenth Having to go trick or treating door to door. Now in June That's I full cost for him knocking on people's doors. And the rules are that he couldn't stop doing this mortifying task until he got ten pieces of candy That sucks. No one has candy right now I mean, some of us keep candy on deck all year round then again, getting me to give it to you dressed as a wizard in the mid middle of the day at the beginning of June. I can't imagine how long he must have been out. It was kind of unsafe. I feel like people are kind The other thing is like sometimes everybody's got ring doorbell cameras now. and I feel like if you knock on someone's door, they're immediately like you can be S real danger So all right, so I guess you'll just have to keep winning, so we don't ever can't relate too much to this gold open. I'm so sorry. Sorry, sounds miserable for you, but It doesn't really relate to me. Let's do a podcast This episode is presented by Xfinity. Hello God, what a podcast we have today. Hi and welcome to Casuals, the sports podcast that's for everybody.

Well, this is the podcast for you. It's called Casuals. I'm Katie Nolan. I host it, and boy do we have a lot to talk about today. We've got the Nix exxcitement, New York City is a buzz. Game three and four at MSG on Monday and Wednesday of this week. We will talk about everything going on around the Nicks and in New York City. We also have the Stanley Cup A series that nobody was very excited for the Stanley Cup fininal between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Kights But it has actually been one of the most incredible series that we've ever seen. and we will also at some point get to discussing the concept of a Hall passass. It is a sports podcast that really covers all of our bases. Let's start though by meeting the people we're going to talk about all this stuff with. We got our casualties, the production crew here at Sies XM. We're missing one still Chris is, I guess off for the year? I don't know when he's I hear he's gonna be back next week, but we've got two of our wonderful cualies casualties today. We have Isabella ourports newbie. Hello and Nicks fan And've got bu,,,, Rrady. holding it down for the boys my best Boy representation, it's important. It matters Fally our voices get to be heard. Yes, finally, but not a lot. not mostly us. Or you, we can hear from you. If you want to reach out to us, we love to hear from you. ourur email is casuals with Katen Oen at G gmail d. com. Our voemail is six four six eight zer one zero zero four three on IG and TikTok We are at casuals, the podcast. Let's go ahead and start off here by talking about Isabella's New York Ks. Game two, Friday night In San Antonio, the Kicks stole game one, and we said if they win game two and then come back to New York with two games in hand, Well, that's exactly what they did. They won one hundred five to one hundred four on Friday night in San Antonio. This was obviously a couple days ago, old news, but I did want to mention for anyone who hadn't seen it U justust a crazy game The spurs closed in on the Nicks. the Nicks were up by I think like fourteen in the fourth quarter and the sppurs closed that gap really quickly. But what it mostly came down to the memorable play that I think a lot of people will recall from this game is Viictor Webinyama trying to pass the ball to Castle his teammate who had been kind of calling for the ball, but at the moment that he turned to run is the moment Wemby threw the pass. and so it bounced off of Castle's back, Brunson got the turnover and it was a bit of a mess. I will say, did anybody hear The French call? No, I didn't. off this play. Okay, so Viictor Wiminama is French he's got a renewed interest in France, I guess, about basketball, of course. So the French broadcast of the turnover. let's just take a listen to that O movie This the test of order Who's different Jessir Hes not about no no. You we are We are for theicto Stehen Castle Stehen Castle down. It's when you hear him go, Oh, o The translation there they said, he didn't see him Oh. Man. U prettyretty brutal, fununny Pretty brutal I'll be How much you use that as your Rosetta stone for f? Yeah, it's what made me go. Maybe I won't just pick it up once I'm over there. I thought that I could hear French people talking and I would just know what they were saying and then listened to that And I couldn't tell when they said Stefan Castle, I couldn't tell that's what they were saying. So I think I'm screwed I think I really got to get back into I got to get my what's the one everyone uses now, Isabella Do a lingo? Yeah. They have French on there? I don't know I gott to get that little bird on my phone. on So that was the big play, I think we all remember from that win Isabella A fun one A fun one, but also o my go. crazy, I was literally biting my nails. L it was just like It was really scary. I will say did win and Yeah. But I did I would feel bad. I bad. If I were to give like a neutral perspective, yeah, I would feel bad. a tough way It's just a tough way to lose it, you know, especially when Wemby's kind of been putting the whole team. on his back but don't feel too bad for him. I saw this clip. this made me laugh so hard, Isabella. Weemby arrived to MSG. I believe this was over a weekend I saw that at some point. This made my heart sore. So this is what we're about to listen to is going to be sound of MSG employees, people who work at the garden seeeeing Wemby in person walking through the belly of the stadium floor what I assume is their first time seeing Let's take a listen Pase are alone. bless you! Oh my goodness A you is tall, Sugar so Oh, bless you. They are like, W. You are big. They're like, I didn't say I was in expand I work here, but I could easily be swayede. You are very tall so funny. Yeah. Of course the big, I think the big story everybody saw, what everyone was talking about was that the celebration after Game two, which again was in San Antonio. spilled out into the streets of New York City. I saw a video of people that were projecting the game onto the side of like a brick building and people from neighborhoods had come out, brought their chairs out and were watching the game together as a neighborhood. And then of course there was the watch party outside of MSG that they had discussed canceling because the crowd got kind of rowdy, I guess around the other series that they've had watch parties, but they did end up having it U and you know, people were just out in the streets celebrating each other Isabella, what did you see anything that was like your favorite Your favorite moment from the celebrations after game two? There was a lot, but there was one where this guy was like standing on something and he just kept going Wemby Pussy Lakers pussy. likeike he was just labeling all these different things that didn't even have to go do with the game just kept saying pussy afterwards. It was really funny. The one that I saw that I that everybody seems to have as the new rally and cry for the Kicks and I'm sure you've seen it. Let's play the clip of the You know which one I'm talking about My mayor Muslim, My bag' Jewish, My Christian New York. You love it? I love it. You love it I love it so much. I want it to be Nixon three I've seen it already on merch. like people are already wearing the hats and the shirts with the whole quot. that Is that jinxing it? New York is getting a little bit dangerously close to jinxing it. And I listen, I do not want to be the lady reigning on a parade. okay? I don't want to which will be ironic in a second. just I don't want to go like, hey guys, don't enjoy it. I love enjoying it. And I actually think you can say Nixon for it's a It's fine But just seeing everybody shift from Nixon six to Nixon four. and then after the game, after game two, because I just leave ABC on because it was whatever I'm doing other stuff, and they do the local news. And the local news, of course is New York City news because I live here. And the Nix excitement has taken over even the news broadcast, The Weatherman's hyped, shhout out Lee Goldberg Ryan doing sports. He's hyped. He's in San Antonio. Shadeay B in Wam, one of my favorite anchors is at the desk. And then they go to the weather with Lee Goldberg and he's telling us the weather for the next week and Sha day says Well, that seems like we'll have lovely weather for that parade. We're going to be playing. I don't like that. It's too much Dan and I both looked up for what we were doing and we were like, hey guys Chill out Chill out. Don't don't You cannot jinx it. There's a fine line between like hyping yourselves up and thinking you're going to sweep and like Taking it for granted and jinxing it. so anything could still happen For the listeners where you are, of course, annoying. Game three has happened. For us, it has not happened yet, but it is happening tonight. To wrap up the celebration after game two I saw Between the my Mayor Muslim my Bagel Jewish, and then there was also, I don't know if you saw that humanoid robot in Jj An Anobi jersey like dancing for people with in Tims And I was seeing a bunch of these and I was kind of collecting them to talk about them here. But then I bumped into something that made me go, well, wait a second. And normally I would have noticed this. I'm a little disappointed in myself that I didn't But someomebody pointed out that in these videos, they're all wearing knicks jerseys that have a certain gambling company logo on the jersey. is not on the official Nicks jersey And somebody suggested and this is maybe a conspiracy theory, that a lot of these videos are being created by peopleeople who are being sent out to create viral content on behalf of that gambling. I wouldn't be surprised though I know me neither, which is kind of depressing. deress. kindind of makes me want to, you know, because it's like Okay. So now I have to question the joy that I'm watching and go, is this real Or is this a prediction market trying to get me to U their product. I'm sure like the excitement and everything of the people is real and like what they're doing is real, but I wouldn't be surprised if was like handing out rand Jersey yeah. goodood point. Yeah, yeah, yeah That be' here here because they know that these people outside MSG are going to be doctors that I would be more okay with if we find out, not like we ever would that Not only did that bleep them all, by the way, that they put the jerseys on people, but also sent that guy and wrote that line. thenen I would go like, h I kind of like that. Yeah. So Stay away. This one's real for sure. Did you know I forgot the Governor's Ball was this weekend. Just big concert. I mean, I wish I gotta remember to do this so I can get tickets to these things every now and then. I never go to anything. But anyway, Govern's Ball usually you have to finish up at midnight because of who knows, sound ordinance, blah, blah, blah with the city The Nicks after winning game two. and DJ Chris Lake was in the middle of his set or about to wrap it up at Governor's Ball. When he got a call from somebody important and he announced it to the crowd, this was awesome. Take a listen. You're not going to believe this. so we just got a phone call from the mayor saying because of the Kick's winning We can keep going tntil twelve thirty aead of Iit That's sick an extra half hour. Somebody said I'm thinking of the introvert who was counting down till midnight when they could get home. This the person in the crowd who's like, all right, five more M Donna just made with with that one guy, but fans of everybody else. also Brilliant because everybody was spilling into the streets in Manhattan Mom Donny or whoever is in charge of this was probably like, um and Gvernor ball Governor's Ball's about to get out. So things are about to be even more overrun with people. And he probably was like, extend that half an hour, have them announce it. They'll love it. It'll be a big win and we can sort of get everything else handled so that we're not dealing with influxes of people the exact same time Friday Governor's Ball headlined by Lord Cat's Eye and Pierce the Vil. Yeah. That is a Isabell and I knowhere near it. All over the place. I completely forgot. I think Saturday got rained out. Rain was crazy here this weekend. It was not raining, and then all of a sudden, it was like so much rain. and then it was over Um So you know, shout out to the people at Gvern's Ball. People are being brought out into the streets by the Kicks. Everyone's coming together over the Kicks. In fact, we're seeing random celebrities who have probably never had any reason to interact with each other comoming together over the next, right, Isabella Oh yeah, with Chalamet and Fat Joe Yeah together and you're just like, okay. Okay you two love the guys now. Love that they're besties. We saw them getting off of a not we weren't like there. We saw a video of them getting off of a private jet together, saying Nixon four. Speaking of Chalay I have to tell you this, Isabella, because if you hadn't seen this, you're really going to love this You saw that he posted a picture on his Instagram story after game one. He was at game one in San Antonio And he posted a picture of him with two big plastic bags of ice on his knees while resting on a couch in his Nick's playoff shirt and He said, people underestimate the wear and tear On the body of a fan throughout the playoffs, self care is important posted these on his Instagram story. I bumped into a tweet Over the weekend from this girl named Alina. It's at every time I say somebody's at name on the podcast, I worry that I'm saying something offensive that I don't even understand is offensive. So hopefully that's not what's happening here. But her username is at Das Gps. and she said this My mom, a Nicks fan, but a Nicks fan in a way where she don't know what the fuck is going on and still thinks ewing plays for the team. Tell me why she texted me this AM and it's the picture of Timothy Shehalmy t know I didn't know Shammot was an actor too She thinks this is who Shamit is Timothy Shamot, I guess. You know what? hell yeah? T Shamet. She's like, look at him with the ice on his knees. I didn't know he could act. I love Shamet Fantastic. One story we can talk about with Game three because again, it's happened where you are but not here are the ticket prices We knew We've we've been new in New York, everything is more expensive. And so of course, with all the excitement around the Kicks making it to the finals, the tickets to finals games in New York are absurd. The cheapest ticket that we found available today Monday as of nine AM Eastern Ticket master is five thousand two hundred and twelve dollars fifty four cents in section four hundred eighteen You also have to buy too. You can't go buy yourself, you have to buy too. So the get ines are more expensive. I did look too. If you just want to go solo. It's like six grand. That's crazy And if I'm sure you could find somebody to go with you, but you got to pay ten grand. The most expensive ticket available as of nine AM this morning, Monday morning on Ticketmaster, one hundred forty thousand dollars hundred how do you one hundred and forty three, one hundred and forty thousand and forty three That's right L. Thank you. What seenty and seventy five cents. And that's in section eleven D, which is two rows off the court. And again you got to buy two. So that's two hundred eighty thousand dollars and you're not even in the first row You're going to be two rows two to three rows. I think Normies like me don't have access to where you buy the front row tickets. I'm pretty sure. Oh, you think that's what they don't put them on ticket, master You think you got to like. I don't think Ben Stiller if he doesn't feel like going is just like, hey, let me just throw these up on Stubhub and see what I can get for him. Well he could but he doesn't And you wouldn't, actually. The average ticket price for game three and four at MSG are six thousand four hundred and eighty seven and seven thousand one hundred sixty three dollars respectively, according to data from TiickPick. It is the most expensive average price ever recorded for an NBA final, the next closest was game five of the twenty twenty four Celtics Mab series and that was going for two thousand seventy two dollars average. So that's less than a third And that's the next most expensive razy. Absolutely absurd how much money this is costing. Every other game in the all time top ten came in under eight hundred dollars. And according to Stubhub Mondays, game three is actually outpacing demand for each of the last two Super Bowls. So Demmand is high, tickets are expensive And man of the people Josh Hart from the Kicks had something to say about this ahead of game three I kind of wish the ticket prices weren't as crazy as they are. I feel like a lot of people who are I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time. Unfortunately, aren't able to get into the building with You know, the cheapest ticket seven, eight thousand dollars. so its just That's ridiculous. but You know, it should still be rocking, but obviously Ws are a lot cheaper Me too, Se. Definitely Isabella sameame. We're still trying to sneak her in Anyone has an easy access door for me go? Or we could put you in one of those like forg hardw. Yeah, yeah. We'll put you on like a cart and hide you underneath. There's aanriginal movie that' tell me how to dig exactly. Totally. I'll watch the Italian job tonight, see if I can come up with anything U You know who thinks that isn't ridiculous? You know who thinks that the ticket prices aren't ridiculous? Who Thanks for asking. Who would have the worst take ever? President Donald Trump. He was asked about the fact that he's going to be attending the game while the average New Yorker has been completely priced out of attending. And here's what he said. Everyday Americans can't afford these sporting events. much much television sort of semi free to watch it on television, but it game wasn't a big, if the team wasn't a big success, you could go very easily. So you know you can do that too, but that's the way life is. the way life is That's hey, that's just how it is, baby deal with it. Also shout out to people asking him important questions on a plane. Love the sound we get from Air Force One, that's just like But if you didn't hear me, he said, you can watch it on TV. It's sort of semi free to watch it on TV which is it's not it's not really semi free, I guess is right. That's the way life goes. If the team wasn't a big success, you could go very easily. And to that, I would say to the finals I mean, I could get tickets to see the wizards play in the twenty twenty six NBA finals very cheap. Right because well, I'd actually say he couldn't because they don't exist. They If the team's bad, they're not going to make it there. So But let's not nitpick. He's going to say enough dumb stuff throughout this podcast. We really don't have to zoom in on that Of course the big headline Trump and New York mayor Zoron Mamani will attend game three. I'm seeing them lump together in headlines. Hopefully they're not actually together game, but we'll get into it. Do you think M D downny would sit courtsside? No, I actually have intel on that that we'll get to in a little bit. He said that he he said today in an event that he bought his tickets from MSG And they are standing room only and he will be standing for the entirety of the event. So I don't think that they would be T. Do you think Trump will be court side? No. No. he'll be up in a booth. I mean, in a, I always say booth in a box, right? He'll be up in a suite. and I think for nothing else other than he won't want people to watch him try to get up and down out of a chair because that doesn't go well for him these days Like I think I'm dead serious. I think the optics, he would not allow that many cameras to watch him try to stand up and sit down Yeah Otherwise the vanity of it, I would totally buy it that he'd want to be there front and center for all of it Yeah, I think it'd be very distracting to have him courtide. Yeah, hopefully he's up. be distracting that in a box. Yeah, and ain't that the way.. They've announced that those with tickets to the game will have to deal with heightened security and long lines. The Kicks have said to ticket holders, please arrive two hours early and don't you dare bring a bag Like I want to bring a bag. I have stuff. I've got about even if it's clear, think I think you could probably bring one, but I from what I saw, it was like do not bring a bag. They also said anythingthing you bring you can't have, we won't store. So we will throw it away. So if it were me going, I would just Bring nothing, I guess Um They've canceled the watch party outside of MSG. As I said before, they've been really wishy washy about this anyway throughout the post season because look, when you tell New Yorkers to gather outside They show up and things get a little out of hand. After game two, according to the New York Times, on Friday, a party held outside the garden devolved into chaos. seventeen people were arrested, nine others were issued summonses for disorderly conduct. A police union leader said that one reer who was charged with punching a twenty three year old female officer, also bit A second officer So that kind of just feels like that guy's problem. It just feels like a one That guy's a donon't let that guy go ever anywhere. mayaybe put that guy somewhere. That second officer he bit was also a horse and The Secret Svice basically said, this is too risky. You can't do this outside of the garden when the president is inside on Monday. and all of that is to say people are still going to be outside. Yeah. saaw them today saying goo to Bryant Park. which is like, yeah, okay, people will still fly if they win, people will still just naturally be pulled gravitationally. towardsG We also had two separate parties call into to the radio show today, fan service on Mad Dog Sports radio, Noon to onene easastern every single day. Some two people, two separate parties call in and say they were driving in to go to Legends, which is a big sports bar right near MSG. and it's like, that's That's also going to be overrun. It's a block away. They put up a wall AroundSG, there's like a glass wall they've constructed today They're closing down streets starting at four o'clock. so now that I mentioned that, we gott to hurry up because we got to a pl to includ We got places to be. Isabella where Let's talk about where you've been watching. So let's start on Friday. Where did you watch Game two? When I was leaving here on Friday, you were debating staying out here and hanging out with people in New York or going back to New Jersey to watch it at home, which you have been doing. What did you end up doing? I ended up going home One And mayaybe the most important reason is I left Hello Kitty at home And so a part of me was like, I have no problem with leaving watching the game somewhere else. It's just that Hello Kitty is the crucial element. So she's been a part of it. She's been a part of it and I just couldn't trust my Nick hating boyfriend to You know, set alone in the apartment with her and give bad vibes and set her up on the couch to put her where she needs to go and dap her up every time the Nicks gets some point. Exactly. So was like ust just gonna go Okay. All right. well before we talk about that, I will say I texted Isabella to find this out over the weekend and the She sent back a picture that genuinely made me cry a little bit because I'm looking at it and I'm like, that's a orts fan I said, where did you end up watching? And she sent a selfie of herself with Hello Kitty in the back. She's thrown up a peace sign with Kitty. And I noticed she's got a hat on. Oh embroidered hat that says finals or nowhere. Yeah Me too. for later. It's I was like, I'm so proud. This is the sweetest It made me so emotional. I was like, lookook, this is Look at her. Thanks, mom. Yeah. You're welcome, sweetie. Okay, so game three, Monday night, what is the plan for tonight? I'm gonna go meet up with my brothers in Brooklyn and we're gonna go to a bar and watch the game. Okay, and you have Kitty I have Kitty with you. I have my finals or nowhere hat and I also have my jersey ellia. Oh my. So I'm gonna change at the end of the day and go over and meet with them. Okay, I'm very excited. I'm a little nervous so I'm getting home. because I do have to go home through Penn Station Okay. so Wish me luck, When you say have to, I mean you could haveave you considered a workaround I have, but honestly, it's going to be a little bit longer and I'd rather just deal with the issue and then be able to go home or direct Okay, you know? Well, maybe I should say this off podcast. But if anything happens and you need a place to if you're stuck in New York City, just text me. Okay and come hang out with me and D. I' say the first one felt like an invite that she just didn't pick up on. What?. Do you have any other do you have an alternative plan? No, I mean I just like maybe take the ferry. I was gonna say go down, take the ferry instead and then take an Uber from Jersey ust like a backup I' a plant. If you get to MSG and it's like yeah, crazy. Well, because my thought was if it is gonna be more tame. in terms of like Getting into Penn station Maybe it won't be as bad as because of like not allowing to have people be that close And that's so cute. And that's such a cute little thought you're having. But I do think what with the MSG being Pen station and the game getting out and all those people including the president having do we think he leaves early Yeah. I think old people in general do leave early.all games Iszy? I don't know that we ever see him past whatever, you know, like second, third quarter of the stuff that we've seen him at. So I can't imagine You can even stay for the whole thing. It's kind of like a Not to let him off the hook. But let's talk about the Trump of it all because we keep reporting whenever he goes to a sporting event that like Donald Trump is the first sitting president to attend the It's been a bunch of them. There was the twenty first sitting president to attend a Superpowl. We had the US Op first sitting president to attend the US openen. There was a college football playoff championship game and it keeps being reported like it's like look at him. He's the first. Like he's broken through some sort of a when really It's because there was never it's not a good idea. The reason no other sitting president is going to these giant mass events for fans is because it complicates things, times A million in terms of security, in terms of just the logistics of running the event. I know one woman I saw tweeted like, hey, I went to the US open and Trump being there screwed it up. Remember that crowd of people that were outside trying to get in to the venue? But they couldn't because Trump had to get the secret Service, whatever they had to do I don't think anyone goes, wait, what how does that change security? You know if a president is gonna to be somewhere? hell if like a governor's gonna be somewhere? You usually have to like cleared first because security locks down. And so yeah, he is the first president to go sitting president to attend the NBA finals. and that's for a good reason. I wish that he would stop Coming to stuff like this, it's Ruining it for all the fans that spent a ton of money to go. Now that's just according to me. acccording to Adam Silver the commissioner of the NBA. fans are actually going to be Okay with it. He said, quote I'm sure there will be announcements about coming early, but I think fans are very understanding of that. They recognize that it adds to the bigness of the event. First of all, bigness, we all talking like him now Ps feel like they can bigly enjoy it because it's the bigness Second of all, fans are not going to be okay with this. It's annoying that people have to come in so early to go to a basketball game and that they can't bring a bag and that they have to plan addition to spending half of what they make in a month on a ticket They now have to deal with the fact that this guy who And it's just frustrating because I feel like the vibes right now are high at least right now where I am, pre game three. vibes are high. Everybody's talking about New York. I'm seeing there was a guy today when I came out of the subway that was just sitting a line of three young women waiting to buy a Nixs hat from them. There were just six Nick hats on the ground of the sidewalk And this guy was just like selling everybody wants the markup on old Nick merchandise that you can find at like consignment shops in the city. Huge percentage points. Everybody wants Nick stuff. Everybody wants in on this Ns thing And Isabella last week we talked you were talking about bandwagon fans and you were like, I don't have an issue with this. I think it's weird when people police who can be a fan and who can't. I say everyone should be allowed to join the bandwagon. And I'm with her on that. I feel like there are some exceptions, but in general, it never really is worth it to ask somebody why, how long they've been a fan, where it started It's just not worth it. It's more about all of us coming together in unity. and that's what we've seen everybody doing in the streets of New York. The vibes are so high, Natives, transplants, people from all boroughs, even New Jersey The Sixth borough of New York City are all coming together to celebrate the Kicks in the streets And I just fear that this Trump of it all. Now he has said he's going to game three and maybe game four Okay So What I'm hoping has happened is that Is that maybe and I don't Isabella block your ears? What? I'm kind of hoping the Nicks lose game. What the hell? That was me I know And have already happened so it won't matter, I guess. But I'm just kind of hoping that they lose game three so he doesn't come back for game four because I don't I just I know he's ruining it. He's ruining it and And I went back and forth on this and I know people will go like who whoa, it's so stupid. But like I kind of I kind of am really hoping. I kind of need the Nicks fans to boo Trump in that building I think they will That's the only way to get him to not come back The outcome of the court doesn't matter to him. It's whether or not don't say they love him. The only thing he cares about is if people are going to him. Okay, but here's the thing. I think he'll like it I don't think we've ever him in a small basketball sized arena with people having the opportunity to boo. It's usually like outdoor at a football stadium where some of the are large where the sound doesn't travel as well This has the ability to I know, but I just feel like everybody likes just the center of attention, like even if it's bad Yeah. Wellm I'm hoping they do it because here's the thing. you look at those ticket prices and you're like, those aren't necessarily New Yorkers, the average New Yorker in there. becausecause here's thing about New York you guys New York hated Trum before Trump was president. New York has hated Trump for such a long time. I know Adam Silver came out and vouched for him said he's a New Yorker. He said I think President Trump is very much a New Yorker, and I'm thrilled that yet another New Yorker wants to participate in the enthusiasm and joy around this next team. Donald Trump was a New Yorker Okay, But then he's Floridian now He's Florida claims him. New York does not claim him. And that happened again before the presidency. It was just the way that he was. Nobody he was a joke. Nobbody in New York lied Donald Trump. So while I'm with you that he's from here, I say he's no longer a New Yorker and I hope that New York, who I really associate with like keep that same energy. I'm like really hoping that tonight becausecause to have rejected Donald Trump before the presidency, but now too bend a knee would be very embarrassing. and it would be N not just a vibe killer, but it would be like a real I think we've got an opportunity for this to be culturally significant If they boo him tonight And um Again, it has happened, so it's not worth dwelling on here, but it is what I'm hoping for. He's not a New Yorker and another thing Adam Silver said is that he's a Kicks fan. He said Before he ever ran for office, he was a big Kicks fan. I've been with the league for a long time. I was there at many Kicks games with him in the old days. He attended many of our drafts when they used to take place at Madison Square Garden. and he actually appeared in one of our I love this game spots when I was running NBA entterertainment. years ago. I watched it. I looked it up. It's like him It's u Dave Chappelle You got Ray Romano sitting on the set of everyverybody loves Raymond. Okay. And everybody else is the at the arena At the arena. So it's either Rano or the guy who plays him or who he plays on TV. It's the Ray from the show. everybody loves. And then Uma Thurman holding a basketball for what appears to be the very first time in her life And at the end of I couldn't figure out that was ttil you wrote that it was omotherermm. Yeah, She just was like, I love this team and you're like, okay, whatever. And then at the end it it's Trump on the court and he goes, if you don't love this game, you're fired I wish that was where our interactions with him. That was two thousand four, two thousand five. I wish that's where it all ended. But okay, so Adam Silver has argued he's a New Yorker. I disagree. Adam Silver argues he's a Nicks fan. Let's see what Ns fan President Donald Trump has to say about this current Nicks playoff run. I Nick fan for a long time. and I'm also a Jim Dolan fan. He's a nice guy. o He's been a long time wanting to win and he's He's a competitive guy and he's got a team that's amazing. You know, they I don't think they've lost a playoff game Can you imagine that? Yeah, you would have to imagine it because that's not true That's some they haven't lost a single playoff game. not true. Big, big Nicks fan Donald Trump. I know he has other stuff going on, but you would think comes to the post season, you'd be familiar if you were a big fan with team has been doing. I also do love and he said I'm a Jim Dolan fan. He's a nice guy, okay St riding me. Okay, Leave the guy alone. He's nice, okay? So what is music sucks? Simple man who loves blues guitar and surillance technology. The guy likes to wear a Fedora and he can rock it. Why not? I like James Dolen. So su me. If any of you ever defend being friends with me like that, I would go, please just, I'd rather you not. I like Kat Nola. Hey leave Katieer. She's nice, okay? She's fine. She's okay U, Listen, like I said before, I'm on record as being against policing your fandom. I think in general, Anyone anywhere. can love any team for any reason And most of the time, the answer to the question of how did you become a fan? Why did you become a fan? How long ago did you become a fan is not more important than the sense of community that we're all here to feel most time. Adam Silver said, quote, I think sports in particular is something where we can emphasize what we have in common, not what pulls us apart. It creates a sense of belonging. And while I agree that is true, it's only true to me for anybody who like isn't the most powerful man in the country who seows division any chance that he gets. This guy is pretending to love the Kicks so that you won't reject him in the hopes that you won't boo him Pay for's ticket, He's there iss a guest of the owner who Even Nicks fans probably don't like very much And so while normally I am against quizzing people on their fandom and holding their feet to the fire In this specific situation I think it's not only okay, I think we must I think we must Ask Donald Trump the age old question Name three players. I think somebody has got to get Donald Trump on camera and they've got to go, you love the Kicks. Ooh, Donald nameame three players, which actually I don't know if you guys saw this, but hurricanes, Carolina hurricanes fans did this. to a North Carolina politician who is trying to capitalize on local support for the team over the weekend. So Tuesday night before game one of the Stanley Cup final North Carolina politician Michael Watley, he is a former chair of the RNC, and he's currently running for Senate He posted a graphic on Twitter in support of the hurricanes. But eagle eyed hurricanes fans noticed that the player on this graphic did not resemble Any actual players currently play for the Carolina Hurricanes. I assume it was AI generated and The day after at a campaign event or whatever, reporters got a chance to ask Watley about the graphic, and here's how that went I saw you post about the Carolina Hurricanes. Yep. Who are your three favorite hurricanes players? Yeah, I think we like them all Is a favorite player? Look, I think that that's a team that's loaded. They're playing offense really well. I'm excited about how it do. Wow Uh, you know, I, uh, uh uh likeem all I like Michael Bolton song. Yeah, I like them all. and you know, that's a team that's loaded. They're playing offense really well 's the first thing I say when asked about my hockey team. Well, I really like the way offensively they're moving the puck And so excited to see how sorry, you cannot pretend to be into the sport for your own benefit without naming three players. It's a rule, I believe is allowed. That's been used against women and fans that don't seem like typical fans for so long for no reason. And I've stood in opposition of that. But I would like to come back out in support of the Name three players quiz to anyone who's trying to pose as a sports fan to get your vote or to capitalize on your interest and how much you care when really they can't be bothered to even just read a recap. Read a recap of the game You know what I'm saying? You're a North Carolina politician. You can't name a single person on the hurricanes when they've made it this far andnt we're in the last round off the hockey playoffs, Name three players. Donald Trump, you love the Kick so much Name three players. And that's again, just for people like that But that lady who thinks Timothy Chalam is Landry Shammit? she can stay. Yeah. I'm fine with her. I love her. She brings good vibes. She's there for positivity. She's going to she's hoping Landry Shamot wins an accademy award. And I'm love that I'm in support of that for her It's the ones who claim to be fans that aren't fans that I really think we should. Now here's my biggest worry about tonight is that because if New York fans Dan mentioned this to me Isabella, he said if New York fans boo may retaliate pololitically out of anger to New York. If he's rejected from a place he considers home, he could, you know, do that thing he does where he takes it personally. Right. And so somebody said that it would be smart of M, Donnie because you know, they've got a weird in weirdly loves Mom Donnie, even though Mom Donnie, like told him he could call him a dictator, which was like and They it would be someone said it would be smart if the two of them appeared on the Jumbo Tron at the same time together because then the reaction will be different like on a drownout. It would drown each other out. like the people that were upset would be And I that please say that hasn't happened. I know it's over by now, but I'm hoping that is not what happened. Again, he paid for his own tickets. he says, one thousand dollars ish that he got standing room only from MSG. Um And we will we'll just see how it goes. Basically my point is if you guys can beef with Elmo You can stand up to Donald Trump. If you guys can stand up to Elmo from Sesame Street Which they did, game one before game one Elmo tweeted I just hope Elmo hopes both teams have fun.uck off It's a bullshit take. He said, Elmo just hopes both teams have fun. And here are the reactions from Nicks fans. The New York City Department of Transportation said Don't make us take this down, bro. with a picture of the Sesame Street sign that they put up at sixty third in Broadway NYPD newews tweeted, just like in Times Square, we think this ellmo is an imposter. Tomato, tomato, tomato. Let's try too hard for NYPD news The official account for the Empire State Building said, you picked the Kicks. Let's be for real, Elmo was like, okay, Empire State Building, you got inside Intel? Somebody named A the Benches Clear said, Don't you dare forget you root your roots, you little red fuck. My favorite one Favorite one And then at Bow Loves You said, quote, This isn't the time for sportsmanship, Elmo. These streets ain't sesame which I thought was fantastic. So then after game one, Elmo tweeted, Nicks. that last message. Elmo didn't mean to spur you on. So where do you stand? Again, we don't know And I guess technically he stands W his legs between whoever's arm it is that's up inside. I don't he doesn't stand as as a puppet. But yeah, where are you Elmo Wh side are you on? Are you with New York? O are you against them He hasn't tweeted since. so If you fan and if you can say it to ello three players, Elmo. Elmo name three players Elmo name three players right now If you could stand up to him, you can stand up to the big guy. Elmo's my president Okay, let's take a quick break when we come back. I'm going to attempt to walk Isabella through what happened in game three of the Stanley Cup final because it's maybe one of the craziest games I've ever watched with my eyes.

Now listen, I know heading into the Stanley Cup final when we found out that it was going to be the Carolina Hurricanes against the Vegas Golden Kights. A lot of people myself included were like onn the matchup. We were like Mh, what is this Stany Cup And there was a conversation about what I always hate now as it goes back to ratings. Won't anybody think of the ratings? And honestly, I don't care. You either want to watch it or you don't. It's a good matchup or it's not. The ratings I don't care about, but the rating should be up Believe it or not, this series has turnurned out to be Historic All of the games. Game one Vegas became the first team in the one hundred eight year history of the Stanley Cup fininal. to win game one on the road after facing a multi goal deficit. They were down by a lot. They were on the road. They came back. they won. they're the first team to do that in game one In game two Carolina became the first team in eighty two years to win a cup final game after trailing by multiple goals in the final ten minutes of regulation. They came back and won that game. That was a thriller. This is the first time in Stanley Cup final history that both teams staged multi goal comeback wins in the first two games of the series Already, the table was set Comeback wins. This is a crazy series. Now Isabella, a fun story I wanted to make sure you saw Game two During that comeback that Carolina had, big comeback for Carolina, they come back and win. A Kannes fan and parody account who I believe hosts a Panththerers podcast, not Dave Canalis tweeted at nine fifty five PM Eastern Carolina scores two goals to tie the game in the third I will get a warning flag tattoo Do you remember on the radio when I showed you the Carolina Hurricanes logo secondary logo? And I was like, do you like this? And you were like, I see it, It's a flag. That's the warning flag logo So they of course then Do go on to score those two goals and tie it in the third And so the next day, he tweets That he did it, that he's a man of the people and that he got this giant, it's on what appears to be the back of his bicep That ugly you're making a face. you hate that loga Don't like it. Wait, does the original logo have those bo those black boxes in there? M Oh I guess it's their warning flag of when a hurricane is coming. It's a cool symbol. It's just like really you got it really big. Guys, I can't logos, I'm sorry. I really can't I will say I maybe want to step back a little bit on my point of like sports tattoos in general. L it just it just depends on how it is because I saw some sports like I saw some Nickc tattoos that people got over the weekend and I was like, that actually doesn't look that bad. Okay, she's coming around. But it's just the logo itself. it's I don't like it. I like it. Okay, fair enough. tootally fair enough U So two huge comebacks in game one and two. you would think game three could not possibly top those games and yet somehow It did. So pre game, it's in Vegas. If you don't know, which most people don't. Vegas goes incredibly Vegas at the beginning of the game. They did a full Like stage presentation on the ice. This lady is dangling from the ceiling and singing. It is like full Vegas kitch before the game. Also, Brady, I don't know if you saw Dan Hausen M You've been updating Isabella on Danhausen and all of his curses Did you see pregame at Vegas Nicks are thirteen andzer since Dan Hausen, the WWE demon has cursed H took the curse off of the Nicks. That's right before game three, Dan Hausen curse the Carolina hurricanes Okay, Isabella. So you know that going in. Carolina is cursed. Okay by Danhausen right before this game. curursed by Danhausen? Car Dan Hausen said the same way he took the curse off of the Kicks. he cursed Carolina And he said, like, Carolina's cursed, curse, curse, curse, Dan Husen on the jumpotron. So we go into this game, Dan Hausen has cursed Carolina. And the first period, nothing really happens. It's tied nothing, nothing. It's back and forth, everybody going at it. One thing that is worth mentioning Do you remember on Friday or whatever, we talked about Braden McNabb from the knights and how he took a puck M eighty seven miles per hour off of the center of his face. Yeah. It came up under his visor and cracked him eighty seven miles an hour between the eyes at the top of his nose. He left the game in the first period. this was of game two. And a lot of people were like, no chance he's come. He went to the hospital, whatever Played in this game. He was there. He had a full cage on his helmet. So like no chance for a puck to sneak in, a full metal cage. And when they showed him I have the link in there for you to take a look at. They showed him up close. Take a look at his nose. It is like Frankenstein back ono his face Isn't that crazy? Oh my Godd, it's like I know. Looks like when like the dolls were like sewn back together. What's the character from Nightmare before Christmas where like she's sewn parts of her body are sewn back together. Yeah It's exactly like hockey they call this an upper body injury. It's his whole nose stitched on in like cartoon stitches. It's a different color than the rest of his face. And if you watch that video, it appears he is breathing through his mouth tire game. He's just like I just h existing when I have a cold. I. Rearly does not work any. I will say the job looks really good. Well done. Really good. A really And let's give a round of applause for I assume the plastic surgeons who had to get involved in that. But he played in the game. That's the only takeaway from the first period. So the second period starts, okay? Isabella, Vegas Scores . Vegas scores But they immediately pull it off the board. It gets ruled no goal because they were off sides. So never mind, it's still zero zero Vegas scores again Now this is a Vegas home game, so the crowd is going nuts Vegas scores again And the refs have to come out and say, actually no goal goalender interference. So that's two goals they've scored. The crowd has celebrated and then they've been so the crowd is like pissed and they want to win Then somebody scores the first goal, opens up scoring for Vegas. It's one, nothing Vegas And then Mitch Marner Fom the Vegas Glden Kights you remember Mit Marner Isabell Dan famously said he's pooping. used to play for the Toronto Mapleeafs The knock on him was that he could never get it done in the post season Earlier this postseason, he got a hat trick, which is three goals in one game After that first goal was scored In the second period, Mitch Marner had three consecutive goals what they call a natural hatrick, a natty hatty because it was three goals back to back to back. All him Three in a row. He did it in a little bit over six minutes and This is the first historic moment of the game is the fastest hat trick in Stanley Cup final history All by himself, three goals. It's now for nothing Vegas And I just mitch Marner. I mean, boy is he pooping I also am trying to think if Toronto is good luck Chuck If he left Toronto, you know, they say goodood luck, Chuck was a guy you date that then you go on to marry. you go on to like find your true love after you date this person. feels like he left Toronto I saw these stats. He has had as many points in the second period of this game. as he had in five separate years of playoff runs with the Leafs. In those playoff runs combined, Mitch Marner scored ten goals In this one This one current post season He has ten goals. This is his second hadrick of the post season And it just feels like he is pooping. He's pooping. He's pooping everywhere, Mitch Marner. A, Vegas is his laxative. I guess so. It just set him free. and now he's off here just loose. So the third period starts and it's four Nothing Vegas in Vegas. In fact, it could have been six nothing because they scored those two goals they took back. So if you're Carolina You're feeling pretty defeated. it feels kind of over not helping the situation, Carolina pulled their starting goalie So that never really happens. goalie is in there and he hasn't played in about two months. Now his name Brendon, Bussy. loveove it It's dis spepelled B USSI. He used to be on the Bruins. He was on the Bruins for a little. Mostly know that because that's the jersey Dan wanted. when he said, you a goldie named Bussy. And I was like, it's bussy. It's technically busussy. But for me It's close enough. To have a goalie named Bussy, I'm rooting for you. just because You know what I'm saying? So anyway, he hasn't played in two months and he's in net. So also so depressed. we don't get to explain to Chris what that means. Because you think he doesn't, he wouldn't know. I think there would be no chance. I wonder what they call it in Australia Oh, it's definitely got toa work. All right, you're marking that. Yeah. Anyway we explain Isabella explains to Chris instead of the other way around. Also crazy that Chris has been gone and we're basically a basketball podcast now. But anyway, I. So it' it's getting late. It's like ten PM. They've got their backup goalie in, it's four nothing Sddenly guy who you got the tattoo that you don't like Dave Canallis, He tweets. It's ten twenty PM Eastern. He tweets, If the Carolina hurricanes sccore four goals in the third period to tie the game I'll get a stormy tattoo Please for the love of God And you'll remember Stormy is the mascot that until we said something The Hurricanes didn't even have him like a page for him with a fake biography on his website. stormy The uh the the rain pig, the The ice hog. Iice hog. Ice hog So he said he would get a tattoo of Stormy if they come back So at some point in this period Well, it's still for nothing. Mitch Marner fame is on a breakaway and somebody from the hurricanes interferes with him. Now Isabella in hockey when you're in a breakaway by the way, is you're alone It's just when you see one guy on offense with the puck headed towards the net and he has sort of broken away from all the rest of the players. So it's basically one on one. It's the player who could score the goal and the goalie If you interfere if somebody from comes from behind him and like tries to trip him or something. then you're awarded a penalty shot which is like in think of the mighty ducks when they or think of even like shootouts in overtime, it's just you and the goalie with the puck and you basically get a free chance to score. So it's Bussy, who has not played in two months. getting a penalty shot from Mitch Marner who has scored who just scored like the fastest hat trick in Stanley Cup final history Bussy makes the save Merner does not get the goal Okay, and then All of a sudden, with thirteen minutes left in the game Jordan Martinook scores for Carolina So it's four to one Dan at this point has left the room, he's playing video games and I went Here comes Caroline Joking thirirty seconds later Taylor Hall makes it for two Interesting. As I'm trying to explain, I'm like, no wait, Dan, it's for two now Here comes Carolina. He goes, hold on, I'll come out before he even gets out there Ten seconds later, basically. Jordan Stall scores Now it's four three Three goals in thirty nine seconds for Carolina. whichich is a new another historic moment, another record, fastest three goals in Stanley Cup final history. So now it's four three and we got a little bit over like twelve minutes left. There was some controversy with some penalties called Vegas gets a power play, Everybody's nervous because Vegas scored their first goal on the power play and maybe Carolina is going to challenge it, but if Carolina challenges it Then it goes from being and if they're wrong, it goes from being five on four to five on three, which is a crazy disadvantage. So they don't challenge it, they survive the power play and it's back to even strength Then becausecause Puck don't lie either. That same call gets called on Vegas. They get called for delay of game And so does Vegas challenge No Cortarella has learned his lesson maybe from the last game, he decides not to challenge on that power play Carolina scores, it's tied. It's tied for four. It's tied for four and there's a little over a minute left in the game How king crazy is that They come back to tie the game goes into overtime. U first overtime period, twenty minutes, noobody scores. And then in the second overtime period, Vegas endnds up scoring. The puck goes past the net bounces off the boards bounces off a Carolina deffender's leg into the back of the skate of our boy Psy and then off of his skate into the net. So just like a crazy a last shot of happappy Gilmore def like bouncing off of to go into the net Bummer That's how they ended up losing it. And it's also kind of a bummer because the big comeback then ends up meaning essentially Nothing because they came back, but then they lost anyway Um But I still like it because it's still history Yeah And also, there will always be a lasting memory of it happening because um two guy, not David Canalis after what he said about if they come back, I'll get a tattoo. He got it. He did get it. So if you can just take a look at that photo of his stormy tattoo. Oh God You like it? No The problem is also that this man was giving a last minute tattoo appointment. so you know he's not He's not booking your artists that are booked up months in advance. Maybe he's got a tattoo guy that he knows and goes to. Maybe it's a good they've got a good friendship Aually What's up? I kind of don't mind stormy Let's unpack this. I kind of don't m a stormy tattoo tattoo.. Tell me why. I don't know, it's kind of fun. I like when people get animals tattoos. Totally. Now it is directly next to the other tattoo. Is that adding to your enjoyment of it or I mean it makes the other because it's like I don't know. there's just some kind of other things distracting from the ugly one. Yeah You know what I mean?? But I also don't love that it's Carolina centric. Yeah I feel like you are really trying over the last few weeks or so, really trying to bait a test like a Mrs Met tattoo. Like you are really really dipping your toe in that water For logo tattoos. What do you guys think about sports logo tattoos? I don't really mind a mascot tattoo. No, no, no, no, no, I would never, I would never already have mses Men console. I don't need what're going to say out my tramp stamp. I already got her down. I will seearrs. Mett holding hands down there, Wh I love actually. Let's just embrace Wimsy. I do love he's getting these done quick. He is not waiting and dragging it. sometometimes people go, I'll eat my hat. And then they go like, well I said that, but I'm not obviously gonna eat it. This guy was like, nexte day I'm in the tattoo plor. Here's the proof I already got it I was hoping I don't know if you guys saw, but stormy. After the win in game two when Carolina came back, Stormy in celebration took his tarp off. Hell ye. So as a mascot, he took off his shirt and we But he's got a zipper down his front. Oh, where are the nips? And it's like Stary, I don't think if you should know the zipper is there and then maybe don't take the shirt off. like what What a cheap. It looked like a it in the b. But the zipper Yeahah, he looks like he's had some extensive surgery, which Stormy, I'm glad you're still with us after they had to cut from your Thorax all the way down to your Knowing what grritty looks like shirtless too, it just feels like there's some detail missing Yeah, well, gritty is considered, you know, gritty knows that his shirt's coming off. Gritty was born to take a shirt off. So when you lift up G take a sh shirt off too If you lift up Gy If you lift up Gritty's shirt you see that he's got a belly button. Now we've got the Pride belly button today because it is June We celebrate Pride Month here. and But yeah, Gritty at least considered, hey, when I take my shirt off give him something to talk about. Stormy was like, I just ripped this off and now everybody knows I got open heart surgery Kind of fascinating. So that's the hockey Isabella Is that enough to sell you on it to watch Yeah, you would have to watch. And they're not on the same night as Nicks games. They've considered Okay. It's usually they alternate. They've never been on the same night and I don't think if they go if both of them go seven I don't think they ever conflict. So you can watch. other ones. Yeah, it really is just like not being able to see the puck that kind of turns me off. Yeah If that's not enough to get you into the Stanley Cup final What about could the star power the raw star power in the building of these games into it. We've had star powerower in the building for these games So NHL's Instagram account has been actively for each game of the Stanley Cup final pushing out post that is a, you know, a gallery of all the stars that are coming through into the VIP seats and doing their headshots, you know, everybody in attendance. L like the Kicks have theirracy Morganans and Ben Stillers and Timothy Chhalam, the Maris Harges, the everybody all the Kicks fans showing up here The NHL posted the stars are out for games they don't show them on the broadcast who we got We had, and I'm going to read them in order. The stars are out game one Shane Boyle. Wh Corey B and Alicia Ocoin Tiana Robiard, Katie Feeney and Gabby Gonzale. The first names I recognize, I will say Austin Kroll Cole Jernstead and Henry Markin Olivia Ludfalla Sabrina and Lex, no last names given Con Kannapel Okay, we know that one. Joe Felix. Yeah. Katie Fey and Gabby Gonzaallez again for a second picture. Dan and Chris Powers. And then John Shire from Duke. So I'm at two of these names. Yeah. This is a real Curtains for Zusha moment. Curtains for Zooa, Kasemog and Bat boy I caught flipping a grunt and I'm like, Who went to what and did where now? Did they do this for every are there other stars in the Oernlando Mendoza. Okay, that's name we know. Game two in Carolina. they changed the verbiage to no shortage of stars at L Nova center. So went from the stars are out to no shortage of stars No shortage of stars Dan and I know then that's a band James Lafferty Good old Canadian boys Wait that's aam Ward. Okay, But not the quarterback Cam Ward. Who then Cam I think there's a hockey cam worard. Stehven Colletti. one, We're one. Shot out program Dan Morgan, who I'm pretty sure is the Carolina Panthers GM. you can play linebacker there.'t count Ashley Sanchez And then guy who was the best college basketball player when I was twelve, Anton Jameson. Okay. And he was busy, but he came. So that's pretty cool Game three in Vegas. We're in Vegas, we have bigger stars. We have Kinsley Wolansky and Vince Sant We have G fllip We have Nick Carter, whoo is that Nick Carter? Okay. Okay. Mark Williams Fernando Mendoza, actual star That's my celebrity Caln Cho. The Las Vegas Raiders, but definitely not Max Crosby, Ashton Gent or Brock Powers and Charles Como Hey So he's abouts out Has' it really moved the needle my They couldn't put so beyond to come. I was assuming. I read these names and I'm like, ly isabll one I got to go I don't. I feel like it's try a game that I would like in person that way they would sell me on it. Yeah, we can do that. We got toa give the NHL a heads up because the stars will be out then. Yeah, well get we can this has taught me, we can get you in the Instagram post when we go to a game because the stars are out tonight Also, you saying Fernando Mendoza reminded me that before the game Both of these teams happen to have the same Um ritual that they do You know, sometimes they'll come out and have somebody ring a bell or they'll come out and wave a flag. bothoth the Vegas Golden Knights and the Carolina Hurricanes Pul they like crank An alarm of some sort like siren You gott to really crank it And I continue to be made extremely uncomfortable when people do that because if you crop the video properly, it just looks like these famous people are furiously jacking off. And it's just an image that I'm sorry I can't get out of my head. a Fernando Mento'a really fucking going for Really heckking going at it. Really heckking hain' at it You know? So anyway, that' it happened at the hockey That's his throw arm, right? He's got toa be careful Yeah. Wait, which end does he have to be careful with it Whatever. You can't do it with his non dominant arm. That's called a stranger Cam Ward, former goalie for the Hurricanes. Okay, deserve j. That does make a lot of sense and famous to them The stars are out to them, That's fine Shout out Stehven Coti Um Okay That's h We've spent the entire podcast talking about two games essentially. And so yes, we know we're at about an hour, but surely we've got to get to some other stuff. So let's have a little bit of fun here. I saw three Count them three Taylor Swift Sports Stories this week. Are you guys ready to go through these? Sure. Great. number one Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey might be getting married at MSG. I have seen this reported and I still Don't. belieelieve it This is from TMZ sources with direct knowowledge tellell TMZ that between eleven hundred and twelve hundred people will show up at MSG july third to watch the couple become husband and wife. We are told that Taylor and Travis have gone to great lengths to ensure privacy, and that includes communicating with invitees by text rather than physical invitations, which feels like a huge faux pas to me. You can't text invite somebody to your wedding even if it is at MSG It's like put it on paper, spepend a bit As we reported, this is still from TMZ, the advantage of MSG is that there's no windows from which photographers can shoot pictures of the event. And there is also underground parking so guests can enter and exit without crowds converging on them which is true But it is also I'm sure there are so many other venues where you could find something like that. It's also a mass transit hub in the center of a bustling city can't imagine that the underground parking that gets them safely from one to the next isn't bothered by the fact that it's like I shouldn't be going to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's wedding venue during my commute. It just doesn't feel right to be like, oh yeah, that's the place I go and get a mixed salad from the This is where I go and get an auntie Anne's on my way to the train. I can't imagine that this is where they're going to get actually married. Do you guys think this is like an elaborate ruse Yeah, Sheen is like a massive historic coastal venue in Rhode Island. like Where I think Kennedys have gotten married. Yeah Yeah a massive Beautiful sprawl Why are we going to MSG for what it's worth is you know, historic in its own way, but it's not Like it's not like a dream wedding venue. It's a dream I don't know like Nick's Wizards on a Tuesday venue, like so much unimportant stuff has also gone on there that it feels like that they would be so mundane to get What is the when would game seven be if the finals goes to seven because I don't it wouldn't bump into July We're way too early g couldn't possibly It be june nineteenth. Oh yeah amb be in San. Isabella That's exactly right. Of course it would be I'm just processing that Beautif U Okay, so yeah, there's no issue that it would bump into that now. what about World Cup? July third, where are we at with the World Cup? Be you'll remember they're shutting down Penn station four hours before game time of every World Cup game that happens over at Met Life Stadium. So while not necessarily MSG related, it just feels like it adds to the cluster fuck Well, we're in the round of thirty two acc. Lets just say it's inconsiderate. Let's just how about we just say that? Go ahead and say it. make It's inconsiderate. How? I don't care You're w in a public transit station that thousands of people use every single day because of what? You don't want paparazzi taking pictures of your wedding. They're get it Boomerasyasin Taylor Swiftry Isabelle's sh Who Travis Kelsey's on that list too Who said that he's not on that list? Travis, sorry, Travis Kelsey. Absolutely. All three of you Watch out You what were' saying Brady, round a thirty two They're going to be the round of thirty two, but that would be there's the only New York New Jersey game is Sunday on the fifth. Okay. So they would be clear by two days. Friday, july third a wedding and a wedding on a Friday If this turns out to If this is just a concert, I'm going to be pissed. If this turns out to be some sort of a variant of a vinyl I would be so pissed. Okay, we have more Taylor Swift stories though. And this is somebody else, I guess profiting off of her. I guess somebody is selling the chair that Taylor Swift sat in at game three of the Eastern confonference fininals. You'll remember that she went to the game in Cleveland with Travis Kelsey. This is where we saw her W him chug a beer in a way that was kind of interesting. A website called the realalist, therealist. com is auctioning off that chair courtside seat that she sat in. It is a padded folding chair that has been certified and authenticated as the chair she actually sat in. They are the official memorabilia partner of the Cavaliers Nothing on this post indicates it's for charity or for a cause. It actually doesn't even mention Taylor Swift's name. Let me read to you the actual listing, as one of the most recognized and influential artists of her generation occupant of this chair has earned worldwide acclaim through a career defined by commercial success to start with critical recognition and multiple Grammy Award victories. Her attendance reflects the cultural reach of the NBA playoffs and the significance of the Eastern Conerence fininals as one of the most visible events in sports. So they don't even mention that it was her and it's currently bidding opened up I saw at one hundred bucks and now this says as of noon Eastern, bidding was up to six thousand dollars Yeah, what type of person is paying six thousand dollars for Taylor Swift's foolding chair A swwifty or Incredibly big creep The world's biggest creep A really lonely person. A really creepy guy who wants to catch a sniff. I don't know. It's just the first thing I thought of like a padded chair. Why else But it's gotta be a swwiftty, right? Like a di. I would hope That would be the That's the saddestiece of Taylor Swift memorabilia Swiftie could buy though, because it's just a chair. Here's the thing when we talk nothing It's not even autographed or anything. Right. She just just have to take their word for it. We just have to take their word that it was her ass on this chair for like three hours. And suddenly that makes it valuable to a Swifty? Y. And yes, no I don't know how much out for his weird. I don't know how much swift you're paying attention to. but yeah, I have an autographed album in my wife's office. And how much did that cost went to charity It went to charity, you were happy toay whatever. I will also very good foundation. When we talked about this on the radio today, it said that the current highest bid was at eight hundred dollars So up I believe that probably it being reported on then got it out of the realm of just creepy people who bumped into it and were interested in being creepy. And once somebody saw that it was only going for eight hundred bucks, they were probably like, oh I would get this and then I bet the bidding too off So that I bet it's Swiftty's. It's gotta please for the sake of me sleeping tonight. this is just sweet young thirteen year old girls who love Taylor Swift and their parents are bidding on the. It can't be a weird guy. Yeah, that's my favorite version. Right love Taylor Swift. Isabella and Katie's version is Isabella and Katie's version is that it's just a cute little girl who loves Taylor Swifiss. Yeah. ye That's that's you sweet. Rrady, What if we just leave it like that? Okay? ifistillers chair from game four also up for sale. Okay, how's that doing three hundred andy five dollars. Come on. Come on, takeake a sniff. I sureure it smells lovely. And I would take a sniff of that severance.er's ass is like no value. Like that's just the price of like a nice folding chair.'re lening,'t l' barely sitting during the game. That's so truly standing most of the time. so you're not even gonna get anything from it Oh, ye, yeah. Okaykay, that's two Taylor Swift stories. And here's the third. And look, I don't know. this one just me weird. I kept seeing this interview get clipped up and posted in my timeline. and I just kind of want everybody else's read on it. So this is an interview that Jenna Sims did with People Magazine. Now, Jenna Simmss, if you don't know if you're tuned into golf, that's Brooks Keepka's wife And I first ran into her during the Masters. She did a lot of like getet ready with me for the Masters. and she caught a lot of flack from people that don't watch golf or whatever being like, you, this isn't how we dress for the Masters U thought that was unfair flag. Now should catching a little bit of flack for this. And again, I want to see how Isabella and I guess also Brady feels about this. I don't know much of the story makes it into the sound, but she's talking about Travis Kelsey and how she was going to meet him one day at an event and how she was so nervous. Let's just play the clip, Jenna Simmss on Travis Kelsey That was a couple of seconds after I met Travis Kelsey. I planned my outfit. I was so excited to meet Travis Kelsey. I mean he's my home. And Brooks knows that. And Brooks was like, you are ridiculous. I dress this for the day, just like I dress for today. A little more sport here than I would have normally gone in this type of But he was so nice. so sweet He met our nany, He met C crew, Obviously Brooks, He played withrooks. That's how I met him Okay. And so if you can't hear when she kind of whispers it, she says, he's Mahall passass. And that clip doesn't show it, but the clips I bumped into over the weekend did, she says Hall passass and how he is hers. Allah. She keeps saying, well, because he's my haall passass And does she not know what Hopepast means? Because for those who don't It is a person that you have previously established with your partner. You are in a committed relationship and you and your partner have discussed that if you were to ever meet this person You're allowed to have sex with them. Now I think originally This came from people who, let's say, didn't get to meet famous people all the time It would be like, you know, you and your boyfriend in whatever town and you'd talk and it was a joke. It's a running joke because obviously there's no way even if you do get to meet, let's say, justin Timberlake, there's the odds of you, a person who bumped into him at a meet and greet, getting him to sleep with you anyway are not as good You know what I'm saying? So there's your haul path. There's sort of no and we will get to who it would have been. This is a very complicated Now The assumption there kind of being that like, I love this person. I'm such a big fan. And if I could, I'd sleep with them kindind of dicey when you are the wife of a pro golfer and you're gonna meet a lot of famous people It just something struck me the wrong way and I'm wondering if I'm just being a monster here and she's just having fun and I should relax But it's like Travis Kelsey is famously about to get married to one of our biggest pop stars that we've ever seen goo in an interview and keep saying about how nervous you were to meet him because You want to fuck him so bad and your husband said you could which in no way accounts for like if any of the other couple involved would be interested in this arrangement. I just it just felt like Does she not know She's saying? Yeah I feel weird? am I nuts The concept of it is like a it's like a like a whimsical hypothetical talking points. Like it's like something you joke around about like Right because it's never going to happen. If by God's chance somehow like you encounter that person, that typically would mean that you no longer have that conversation that become that hypothetical is no longer hypothetical because that person exists in your circle. And Yeah, now that person exists in their circle and she's like still my haulpass. I know ands like she' sending the signal out. But also just like it's not just continuing to have him be her haulpass. She is on in an interview with a celebrity magazine going like, I'm allowed to fuck this one. And it's like says Wh I know I'm taking it too seriously, but it's just this is something I've thought about a lot because I've been asked this before' like, who's your haallpass? And once I reached and me, we're talking about me, okay I' famous. Once I reached a certain level, it was like this goes away. This doesn't count anymore because I could meet these people I don't want to have to be uncomfortable around them because of a it's like a whatever like I got to meet Method Man recently. Yeah I know. I've had a crush on metethod Man since I was twelve. He's cute. It makes absolutely no sense that a child in suburbia such as myself was a huge metethodman fan. Unfortunately, it just is what it is. I loved him And then now of course, he has aged. wine w. And so when I found out that I was going to an event that he was going to be at And I was going with Dan. I was like, this is I had to wrestle internally with like how do I handle this? How do I carry myself in this situation? The answer was I just went like hi and couldn't make eye contact. I just mostly looked down and kept going like, I really like you and you are great. And thank you for making music. and I just for having me here. And this is and thank you and hi And so that's how that went. But I certainly did not come here and go like guys I'm seeing my hall passast tonight. Yeah, because like it's different Yeah, I don't know. there's just like a certain level of awareness that you feel like isn't there and you're like re I don't know. may maybebe heard him or have a thing going on. Maybe Travis is into it. I don't and maybe Taylor likes it. I don't know. I just know I wouldn't poke the hornet's nest of Swift. They are not like known for being chill online. And you are out here in multiple clips getting pushed to the top of my feed saying you want to sleep with her almost husband. I feel And then the interviewer was like, you got to get invited to the wedding and I'm like so I don't think so after this. I can't imagine hit by a Swifty with a folding chair I mean, a six thousand dollars folding chair Make a count Okay, one more little thing before we get to a list of things we're not going to talk about because we don't have time And this is our sort of in honor of Pride Month, which I said, we loudly and proudly celebrate here. Also, while we're talking about Swifties, I do have a question to the Swifties if they're listening slash watching. I've been given a wonderful gift from the Trevor Project, a charity I care very much about who helps members of the LGBTQ plus community, the youth, if they need crisis intervention or just support in a difficult time And they sent me because I played for them on Jeopardy, they sent me a friendship bracelet I don't know what the u Eetiquette is, when you put on a Frenchship bracelet, is it supposed to be right side up to you Or is it supposed to be right side up to me? Let me know because I'd like to wear it properly. But anyway, we love the community here. We love Trevor Project. Go donate to them if you have money and you want to. Friday night The Dodgers held Pride night There' stadium twentyenty nine out of thirty MLB teams do a Pide night. The only team who remains unwilling to do so, the Texas Rangers, they will instead have a what's it called, Brady Faith and family I mean the fact that they can say that. The opposite of gay pride is faith and family makes me so fucking mad, it's not constructive. It makes me so mad it wouldn't be good mad for content. It's just angry because those two are not opposites. You can be about family and faith and you can also support and be a safe space and be an ally for members of the gay community I digress. So the Dodgers had their pride night and the entire team wore a special pride logo on their hat as part of the festivities Every single person on the Dodgers wore this hat Except for two Pitcher Blake Tinan who came in in relief and outfielder Alex Call They wore the team's standard white logo Now whenever somebody does this, people online always like to come out and yell and say like he doesn't have to believe in what you believe. He's entitled to you can't force your agenda onto him. And so just to address that up top, I want to be clear, the agenda Pride Night Ports Qote unquote agenda is just that like I'm okay, It's okay that you're gay It's not saying I'm gay. It's not saying let's all be gay. It's just S it could If it worked on you that way, Brady I was informed by the try ins and calls of the world that it says everyone must be gay. All it's saying is like, hey, if you're gay If you're out or even if you're not out You're welcome here It's you're safe here Dodgers. are on your side. We are a safe space for gay people. I actually saw an ad from another country this Pride month. put that in really stark focus for me, It was just all these little instances of when a pride pin made a gay person feel at ease without having to say anything. It's like two people sitting on a train and feeling like they've got to cover up who they are. It's like a lesbian couple getting into an Uber and feeling like they can't hold hands once they're in the Uber, but then they notice the guy pride flag in the front seat and they hold hands and they go back to being a couple. It was like really touching. It really made me see that like, oh, that's exactly what it's for. It's to let people know that like There's not hate for you here just because of who you are and who you love and how you were born And so if that's what it means, right? then what not wearing it means is that Blake Tryinan and Alex Call are not safe spaces for LGBTQ plus people And they want you to know that. So I'm here to let anybody know. if you are a casual who's maybe not tuning into baseball like that, mayaybe you can't name a million dodgers. I do want to let you know that Tryinin Alex Call from the Los Angeles Dodgers are not safe spaces for members of the LGBTQ plus community. If you if it matters so much to you can't even put the hat on, that is what you're trying to say, right? So I'm happy to help you amplify that message, Blake and Alex. They are not safe spaces for gay people. Not against hats, though, because Blake Trinan famously did write Charlie Kirk wrote it himself. Charlie Kirk on the side of his hat. in September of twenty twenty five. So it is okay to put other stuff on the hat could not just put on a hat that has a A flag that lets people fans, fans of yours, supporters of your team. Lets them know that, hey, I respect your humanity. And as much as you're a person with rights, so am I. We can both be people with rights. That's not how again, Blake Trinan T R E I N E N and Alex Call, C A L L. U That's not how they feel. They don't feel that way. and I wanted to make sure that Everybody heard that. Sf here? that okay? Yeah? Fantastic. So it's about the nicest way you could put it about Blake Trinan. Yeah. Brady, you said something about the men's national team soccer and Pide jerseys. I didn't see that. What was that The hold when they played their friendly against Germany. didid they win? Saturday? They did not, but they played really well. Anthony Robinson had possibly like the greatest American goal I've ever seen. just a rocket off of a volley.. They lost to one, played well, kind of like they hung with one of the big boys in the world in Germany. Nice. The whole game though, they' wearing their away kits which are the Navy blues with the stars, the homekits are the whites with the red stripes But Navy Blue with the stars and they're a special Pride edition So on the back where they would usually have just silver numbers with the player's name, it was U The number inside was just made up of the Pide flag So on the back, it's like, you know, the regular Navy bllue jersey and then just the big rainbow prize like number popped off the back. They looked Awesome. and Antine Robinson scored that goal. I immediately went to Fanatics, went to U.S soccer I'm gonna to buy one of these Like this is the coolest looking jersey. Let's just remember like this epic goal in American soccer history. for this international game. st thirty five dollars more for the Pide jersey than the regular jersey. I can get past that. You know what? I can get past that. Wait any did it say anywhere on it? like the proceeds maybe go towards somethingomething I don't Mbe didn't check. I I didn't check. I won't say they. I would And I think there's a good chance they would. I would hope. Charge me for pride. That's allrazy. Keep going. More importantly Not available in any size larger than medium Do better US soccer. You got big allies that want to speak. Wait a sec, I can't get an XXL ally I just want a single a ally jersey. likeisten We cannot let the big ones support the gays. We It can only be little people. That's crazy. Okay so it's like good news, bad news I guess on that But the journey looked awesome. The whole team. I'm going to check and see if that goes towards charity because if not, charging thirty five dollars more feels criminal. That' It's just a jersey L priceing's weird 'cause it's like the blank jersey with no number on it. And now it's I'm sorry, thirty five dollars more than how much for a regular So the pricing goes for the regular USA jersey is one hundred bucks. too get a player name and number on it is one hundred and thirty bucks And this would be like if they're not like fabric sewn on. it's not like embroider it's just screen prurner on and then one hundred and sixty five for the Pride jersey Crazy Well, look it up while we do our next segment. We've talked about this before. This is a new thing you're going to see a lot here. We've got there's look. We're doing our best. There's a lot of sports news all the time. We will very shortly hear at a time where we're dying for more sports news, okay? But while we're in the thick of it in the NBA finals, in the Stanley Cup fininal, a lot of time is spent on like one game and we're going to miss a lot of stuff. Since casuals is your home for theoretically, if you're a new sports fan and you want to know everything going on across sports, we do want to let you know. We're just not going to talk about them. So we've come up with this new segment inspired by, I would say, friend of the show. friendriend of the show. sure. Bill Belachk's girlfriend Jordan Hudson We're not talking about this. We're not talking about this. So first thing we're not talking about. Mira Andreva won the women's title at Roland Geros. Andreva wins her first major singles title at nineteen, becoming the youngest women's champion at Roland Geros in thirty four years N' not talking about this. We just don't have time. sorry we're not talking about this. Also, Alexander Zarev won the the men's French Op singles title, his first major. he beat Flavio Caboli. I watched that I watched that But that's not who I was rooting for. But anyway, he wins his first major and unfortunately not talking about those right. We just don't have the time and Jordan and we are sorry. Also, Texas won the womomen's College World sereries. We've been following that one with you here on casuals. They swept Texas tech. for their second consecutive title. So it turns out eating Ladybugs is actually ot not talking about this. we can't, sorry, we don't have time. And then speaking of Texas tech, or I guess not speaking of Texas tech Brendan Soreorsby. Texas tech quarterback who was caught gambling in a number of ways But the headline one was that it was on his own Team Um he's being allowed to play football again. Texas tech. quarterback has been granted a temporary injunction by a Texas judge that prevents the NCAA from punishing him for violating its rules on sports gambling, leaving him open to play in twenty twenty six. And according to Brady, yes odds. on whether Brendon Sooresby will play college football this year. Unfortunately, N' not talking about this Because I have a lot to say. That's fucking crazy. Speaking of gambling ruining sports, I don't know if you guys saw Pat McAfee is going to be hosting a game show on Thursday of this week between his show's cast, who my fiance famously refers to as his organ donors. He says that everybody on Pat McAfee's show looks like they were chosen because they were matches for Pat McAfee, should he need an organ in a pinch So between the Oregon donors and the cast of NFL liive, it's going to be a family feud style rip off. and the explicit purpose of this event is to encourage fans to quote unquote trade on it liive. on draft Kings Okay. not talking about this. We certainly are not talking We are not talking about that. I have seen those commercials though, during the finals that are just them saying Draft Kingings now available in all fifty states. and then they name the states where gambling isn't legal And they say, you can have it there whichich is like, shouldn't that be raising ome giant Carolina alternate logos, Just some giant red flags, please U The bears. Okay, this I don't the bears, I guess are getting close to moving to Indiana. The board of Directors announced this is the Chicago Bears, the football team.. Theyve The board of directors has announced they have, quote, voted to advance our stadium development project in Hammond, Indiana. That makes me think of a Nate Bargetetti joke. Are you saying Hammond Hammond, Indiana. This comes after the spring session of the Illinois legislature. I know we all have the fantasy Leagues that we're in. It concluded with no solutions and no new legislation available to allow the bears to proceed with the stadium project in Arlington Heights, Illinois. This has gone back and forth so many times. I do not understand the law of it. Seeing a lot of people report on it like it's definitely happening seeing a lot of people report on it. likeike there's no way it could possibly happen. And so because of that Not talking about this. That's right. Imagine Kayleb Williams getting the mad in cover with him jumping over the Chicago skyline and the curse is on Chicago and not Kayleb Williams. Actually. I feel like Bears fans would take that. If you gave them the option, they'd go That would suck, but at least Caleb's going to have a good season. So hey, if they win, who cares? I guess, I don't know. I againain ' not talking about those. Thank you. And then the last one I have this is because I just saw this before I sat down. Congratulations to Golden Tempo. who won the Kentucky Derby about a month ago. They skipped the prekness, but then won the Belmont stakes as well. So it's not the triple crown Because again, they did not race in the preakness, but it's is a double crown They got a double crown My state not, you know, M theyay not good enough for you, Golden Tempo? They did We're not talking about it. We're not talking about it because we don't know if the double crown exists or not. So congratulations to you for that Golden tempo Okaykay, that's everything. We've covered everything. The only thing left to do is tell you if You wanted to watch some sports this week. What sports could you watch? I got a funny feeling, since this one's done by Brady, it's gonna be college baseball heavy as it should be.
