Speaker 1 (00:00):
Paulina.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
So I left New York on Saturday before one of
the biggest events to happen in New York in quite
some time, which is the Knicks win in the NBA Finals.
You now are saying that you lived in New York
for a month.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, yeah, like six weeks. Who's counting?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Apparently you yes.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
So then you're saying now that you would like to
fly there on Thursday after the show to attend the
World Championship Parade.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
You know I would do it.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
What is it with you in New York? First of all,
this is the most New York passion I've ever heard
from you.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Second of all, like this like.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You've always been one to try and like pull up
on stuff late and then leave early so you can
say you were there. But like really, but what is
this thing with you now, like trying to just show
up to places for fifteen minutes and leave like someone
got some flight benefits or something. Because now all of
a sudden, it's like you went to Disney for twenty hours.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah. I don't understand that one.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Well that one. I also have a kid who was
a homebody. She's you, just a two year old she.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
But we went them all the way to Florida. We
stay for a little longer than that.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
That's like driving from meatless suburbs. That's that's how it feels.
Two hours is nothing to me.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
To pack up everything and then take your child to
another state for less than a day seems seems like
a lot of work for for a parent.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yes, I'm not a normal mom. I'm not. I'm not
a cool mom either, But I'm.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Just a mom that has a backpack and a and
a free flight treadit.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, you want to hear to New York for just cause?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Because I've never one time heard you say one thing
about the New York next never actually never. I think
last year throughout the finals, I didn't hear you talking
about it.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
No, I mean nix and four, but that didn't happen,
you know nix and five.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Did you ever hear her say Nixon four or five?
Never heard it?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I thought I texted to the group. I texted it
to our poem. I had a poem.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
I had a high cool.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
But I'm trying to understand, like what the motivation is.
I guess I could see fomo, but you don't. You've
never expressed interest in this team before. So how could
it be fomo something that you never cared about before.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I feel like I I'm not like a hype beast
when it comes to like clothing or like Jason, just
like items that drop at like dunkin.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Donuts, I don't want that. I want to be in
the moment somewhere.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Like truly, like I will pull up, like you said,
for twenty hours or whatever it is like just to
say I was there and like vibe and then I'm done,
like my social battery dies, like I'm over it and
I want to just drive home.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's a fly. Oh, like, rethink trips, rethink live? Why
do trips need to be like you have?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
What are we to have?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Is Jason home?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Why?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
He likes, Yeah, there is something between a week and
a half and twenty hours. Yeah, especially when you have
to load up. I mean it's like it takes what's a.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Shorter You're the first person to ever say that.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
But I don't want to go.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
He doesn't want to go at all. Right, So it
was Jenny this weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I mean it's I also say that going to New
York to be part of the of the NBA Finals
Championship sort of parade festivities is going to wind up
being so much effort, because I mean, if you're going
to stay in a hotel, that's gonna be wildly expensive.
If you're gonna take an Ubert, that's gonna be wildly expensive,
trying to navigate just to get anywhere near seeing anything.
(03:17):
I mean, you're like, this is gonna be a lot
of effort for something that you've never expressed an interest
in before.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I just want to be a part of history.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
You know. I can call up some of my people
out there, see if they could pick you up from
the airport, Like, let's make this track.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Nobody gonna pick you up. You love me there, I'm
going to do that.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Everybody knows that I'm definitely not going to JFK. I
know they're not.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Mistake once going to JFK.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Made that mistake one time, and have never one time
asked anybody from New York to pick me up. Never, never, never,
one time, even when they've been like you want me to,
I'll be like no, I mean, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
It's like Chicago, and I don't know about other big cities,
but if you come to town and I really like you,
I'll send a car for you. If I don't really
(04:09):
like you, then i'll see where I see it, because
like that's you're asking. What you're asking for, depending on
when you arrive, is a four or five hour commitment
of my day.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I'm sorry, I don't have it.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
My favorite part of this whole thing is that she
keeps saying my kind of town. But that's just a
natural song about Chicago across that's my favorite part. Okay, there,
that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, that what's about New York? That one is actually I.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Heard the hell out of it when I lived out
there and the taxis in the subway Taylor shut up, honestly. Yeah,
it's it's not her best word that.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I feel like you could just watch on TV and
be very much a part of it and then you
don't have to do all of that.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I was trying to go this weekend of the Puerto
Rican party out there.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You're not going because we have work on Friday.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I don't. That's why I'm not going.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You're expected to attend.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yeah, that's that's what you're not going. I have a job,
so I can't go.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I would love to go, just so you would like
to pull up to be part of history upset.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
No parades are no, you.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Know, I think I think that's going to be a
total crap show. And I think you really gotta love
it to want to be there. And I also kind
of think that like people like us who might want
to see it but like don't love it, maybe should
stay out of this one. Because New York is the people.
Is it one of the biggest cities. If not, it's
not the biggest city. I think Tokyo is bigger, is
whatever the case may be, very big city, and there's
(05:28):
gonna be millions of people who really do want to
be there because they've been lifelong fans. And then are're
gonna be people like you and me and me with
our little we got on fanatics a little. Knicks had
on Nicks Camp little but dazzled Knicks championships ships on
your shoulders and we talk about that too. What was
U with the bedazzled championship shirts? I did not like
those at all. I don't like, guys, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We shouldn't cinch at the waist the women's the gear
that they make for sports. We shouldn't be dazzle we shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Like who gave Jalen Bruntsman and Hardy championships? Like when
did that come.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Back on that?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, your profile is a little different than than the
men on the team that were wearing people say, go
to the hurricane celebration instead, less chaos.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
How about that? There you go? There you go?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I mean, I hope so love me somewhere. I'm there.
Let's do it? Can you go with me? Would you
actually go with me? Used to live out there?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I have to work, so yeah, I guess I could.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Maybe I'll be some more riding.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Right, we are all over the place going on. I
can't do it. I'm into a city near you.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I just have you ever attended something that you wanted
to go to that you really had no association with whatsoever?
Like I can I M, well, I do that every week.
I hate that, true. Yeah, I mean, if you were
attended like a sporting event. I'm trying to think if
I've ever been to something that was a really big
deal that I had really absolutely no tie to.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I just wanted to say that I went. I can't
say that I have.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You're right, because like a parade is not something that
I'm going out of my way to attend unless I'm
really passionate about the you.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Wouldn't go to your own parade, You know.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You're right.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't like I don't like people enough for them.
The last time I attended a parade that wasn't the
Pride Parade, and I've been to many a Pride parade
is maybe when the Chicago Cubs won the World Series.
I went to that because I was into that. I've
been a lifelong Cubs fan. That was a big deal.
Oh yeah, And I didn't really even go to that.
It was on the street kind of like two over
(07:31):
from mine, So I stood on someone's balcony and watched
it from above, which was way better, way better, because
there were a gazillion you could There was no way
I could have done anywhere, Like you couldn't get unless
you were there, like the night before for that. You
weren't getting anywhere to where you could actually see anything anyway.
So I kind of saw it and I was able
to watch on TV and like see what happened. I mean,
(07:52):
you would go to a Lion's parade if they won
the Super Bowl? I don't know, Jason, go to a
you go to a Britney Parade if there were one.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Her comeback parade, but you wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Show regular and parade just because there was one. You
wouldn't go to that. Absolutely not see. I do too
many parades because I have Tom's going to a praide
by choice. Oh wow, Well welcome for all that. Anyone
who listens to us is a New York Knicks fan.
I mean, we have a lot of Carolina Hurricanes fans.
I'm very excited. I know Kaitlin now all of a
sudden is excited about it.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
My little money makers I call them.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I'm not trying to yuck your yum.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You know, you go and celebrate whatever you'd like and
experience whatever you'd like. I just I think this is
a big ask of everyone.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I think so too. Times Square on Thursday, go New.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
