Thank you so much for this thing. We're going to do an old mailbag edition, sort of. I got Sal here. We're going to chat at the top about some topics, and we'll do a mailbag here because I asked for questions. A lot came in. But obviously with the Knicks doing what they're doing, a couple of the things. Don't want to just make it all mailbag. So chat with Sal here from the Salakata show on YouTube, Apple, Spotify, and from S&Y. And then we will get into a mailbag. Sal, how are you? Pretty good.

Everybody's going to go back to work, back to school. It's ridiculous. It was crazy the way that worked at. It did give me a chance to watch. I think Saturday spent the whole day watching stuff. So we can get into that. But we'll start with the Knicks. You know, I said like three weeks ago they're going to the finals. I thought it would be a cakewalk in the Eastern Conference final. I didn't think it would be that much of a cakewalk.
