Hey there, Nick's fans.

Hey there, Knicks fans.

How you doing?

It's your boy, Jonathan Mackey, with you for another episode of the Nix Film School podcast.

Today is a special one because this has become something of an annual tradition here at

Nix Film School.

And I'm not talking about just the guests that we have on who obviously we love.

And as I've spoken about many times, has meant a great deal to me and all that he has done for me personally over the years.

But just he is, he's as good as they come when it comes to a local beat reporter,

or really any, any reporter anywhere, because he is very rarely, if ever wrong and gets a lot of stuff right.

And of course, I'm talking about Ian Begley.

And I always love having Ian on.

He's kind enough to join us quite a bit and kind enough to have me on his show,

the putback as well.

But these shows that we do on the eve of free agency and the draft are just really good

because there's a lot of stuff floating around this time of year.

Much of it is, I won't say nonsense, but, you know, there's just, there's a lot of people

with a lot of different agendas putting a lot of stuff out.

And I love being able to talk to Ian, you know, in mid to late june because it it gives me and i'm sure this is the case for a lot of

you listening a real sense of what is real and and what is not and um you know i i always say

and i'm sure i will say it to him i'm actually recording this intro before I have the conversation with Ian.

So I'm sure I will repeat this to him, which is that Ian Begley always knows more than he says.
