So I'd rather only use one ply the rest of my life than go to that watch party. So I got an email from the Knicks saying, hey, we're opening up Madison Square Garden for a watch party. I'm not the only one. I think if you bought Nick tickets at any point, you probably got the email. So I clicked on the link thinking, you know what? Maybe I'll go. Maybe I'll go to the garden.

So when you log in and you're like trying to buy tickets, they put you in a queue.

0:35.9

On that line, I was 117,000. So you need to buy tickets to go to this thing? Yes. So it's not just a, hey, come join us. We'll have the concessions open. You have to buy ticket. You buy the tickets. I think they all go to charity. So it's a great cause. It's not overly expensive unless that's changed for the finals. And so I was thinking of going. I clicked on the link. And once I saw I was on.

1:13.8

Or wherever you want. home run against the Brewers. A part of the story was the reaction at City Field at the

1:11.6

watch party. Yeah, I know, you're right. Or wherever you were. It's a small part of the story. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it's the lead part. It is wherever you work. Because I remember that was on a plane. Yeah. When that happened. There you go. You always want to have boots on the ground. Now, we can't be perfect at it.

1:24.4

But then when I saw, I was 117,000 fun line.

1:30.2
