00:00Your Sixers are playing tonight, which is really cute that they're in the play-in.
00:03That's so awesome.
00:04I wonder if—you think they sell that game out tonight, by the way?
00:06Yeah, it's sold out.
00:08I know it's sold out.
00:09Maybe not?
00:10It is.
00:10You think they have the open seats?
00:12It's sold out.
00:13Are you sure about that?
00:14Yeah.
00:14Because I went online just to see what it would cost to go.
00:17Yeah, it's stubbed.
00:18And it's kind of embarrassing.
00:19What's the thing?
00:20If I may.
00:20What do you think they get in price for—I know it's not officially a playoff game.
00:25Yeah.
00:25But it's essentially a playoff game.
00:27Because if you lose, you're done.
00:29No.
00:29Right?
00:30They're not.
00:31If they lose, they're stupid to play.
00:32If they lose, they're stupid to play.
00:32If they lose, they're stupid to play.
00:33If they lose, they're stupid to play.
00:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:34If they lose, they live to fight another day.
00:35Yeah, they're not, though.
00:35But if they lose tonight, it's an embarrassment anyway.
00:38They might as well not show up for the next game if they lose tonight.
00:40What do you think the get in price is for that sorry basketball team you root for?
00:44Well, being that it's a city of champions, we don't really take—we don't really get excited
00:47about this, you know, 40 bucks.
00:50Is that right?
00:50Yeah.
00:50Why would you get excited about a playoff game when you're used to champions?
00:53You're not used to championships with basketball?
00:55I'm on a couple of Super Bowls.
00:56In football, yeah.
00:57All right, we're the city of champions.
00:58Yeah.
00:59You're the city of eight champions.
01:01No, champions.
01:02Plural.
01:02Your hockey team sucks.
01:04No, they just made the playoffs.
01:05Your baseball team stinks.
01:06They're about to beat the Penguins.
01:07Okay.
01:08Baseball team's going to win a division.
01:09They're defending NFL champions.
01:11And your basketball team's in this embarrassing playing tournament.
01:13They're in a tough spot.
01:14Yeah.
01:14And he has $26 to go to the game.
01:16Yeah, that makes sense.
01:17And some tickets have been found for as low as $2.
01:20Yeah.
01:20And I'm saying to myself, what happened to the great sports city of Philadelphia?
01:24They're smart.
01:24I could go to a Sixers playoff game for $2?
01:26No, see, this is the problem.
01:28$2?
01:28I know you're used to the Knicks, right?
01:30And right now the Knicks are good.
01:31But to the guard, it doesn't.
01:32Like, the seats don't care.
01:34Because people just go to the guard.
01:35They just go to the game.
01:36Every game.
01:37Whether they're good or not, people just go.
01:39Yeah.
01:39In Philadelphia, we have a discerning eye.
01:41Is that right?
01:41Yeah, like Knicks fans go to the bar.
01:43Discerning eye?
01:44Yeah.
01:44The Knicks fans go to the bar.
01:45If the girls are 10 or 1, they don't care.
01:48It's warm.
01:48That's how Knicks fans work.
01:50Sixers fans go to the bar.
01:51They only want the best.
01:53Is that right?
01:53So we're not going to tolerate this and go heavy to a play game.
01:56Have you been to Kensington?
01:58Have I been to Kensington?
01:59Have you walked the streets of Allegheny?
02:00I don't walk the streets.
02:01I don't go to Kensington either.
02:03I don't need to see those zombies.
02:05Okay?
02:05I go around Kensington.
02:06Yeah.
02:07I go around Kensington.
02:08The discerning fan in Philadelphia.
02:10That's right.
02:10Shoving cheesesteaks down their fat girlfriend's gullets.
02:13Nope.
02:13And dropping $10 to go to a playoff game.
02:16Not a playoff game.
02:16I know what's going on in Philadelphia.
02:17It's not a playoff game.
02:18I wouldn't want to be a part of this generation.
02:21The Philadelphia sports fan is really losing out to New York these days.
02:26Oh, yeah?
02:26And to Boston these days.
02:27Which New York team wins?
02:29What happened?
02:29What was the last New York championship?
02:332011.
02:34Huh?
02:35What happened?
02:36Huh?
02:36It's been a few years.
02:37Oh, it's been a little while.
02:38It's been.
02:382009.
02:39No, no, no.
02:39The Giants.
02:40Giants won before the Yankees.
02:412011?
02:42Yeah, 2011.
02:432011.
02:43Yeah.
02:44Yeah, I don't know nothing about that kind of drive.
02:452011.
02:46I don't know nothing about that kind of drive.
02:47You know what it is?
02:47Because we got so tired of winning all the time.
02:49Oh, yeah.
02:50Sure.
02:51That we were like, yo, let those five people in Philadelphia have some success.
02:54I'm going to say this out loud.
02:55Yeah.
02:55New York sports and the New York sports fan.
02:58Yeah.
02:58Right?
02:59Has gotten complacent.
03:01Complacent?
03:01Complacent.
03:02I don't think we've gotten complacent.
03:03Why are you okay with not winning?
03:05We're not.
03:06The Yankees don't win all the time.
03:07The Yankees don't win all the time.
03:09And you, you're the main culprit in this.
03:11Yeah.
03:11They make the playoffs every year.
03:13Every year.
03:14So what?
03:15Where's the parades?
03:16Where the parades?
03:17Yeah.
03:17You've helped these people.
03:18Your Hall of Fame career has been 99% positive.
03:23Yeah.
03:23But 1% you've made these people complacent.
03:26Okay, losing.
03:27And Citrus fans not going to the playing game.
03:30Sure, they're not complacent.
03:31Not complacent.
03:32Because why would you want to go to that game?
03:33So your revolt against the Sixers' bad play is by not showing up.
03:38Yes, that's the only thing you can do.
03:39It's the only thing you can do.
03:39All good.
03:40What's the spread in tonight's game?
03:41They favored?
03:41They are two-point favorites in the game tonight.
03:43Oh, so it's basically a pick-em game.
03:44So barely even favored for the home playoff game.
03:46Yeah, without Embiid.
03:47You don't know how this game is going to go.
03:48Oh, yeah.
03:49No, Joel Embiid tonight.
03:50That's why I forgot.
03:51He never played.
03:51They wouldn't be in the play if he was healthy.
03:54Could you imagine, by the way?
03:55Because, look, Philadelphia's an Eagles town first.
03:57That's a fact.
03:58No one's going to argue that with me.
03:58Yeah, just like this is a Yankees town first.
04:00It's a Yankee town first, 100%.
04:01Yes.
04:02Here it goes, Yankees-Giants.
04:03In Philadelphia, it kind of depends on the season.
04:07It kind of goes Eagles-Eagles.
04:09Right.
04:09If I'm being fair about it.
04:10It can be.
04:11But Phillies right now are clearly number two.
04:13Yeah, Phillies are because they have a legitimate shot to maybe win a division or certainly get
04:16in as a wild card this year.
04:18And they are a good baseball team.
04:20I'm kind of busting your chops on that.
04:21But it is interesting.
04:23Could you imagine Philadelphia if the Eagles' best player played as little as Joel Embiid
04:31has played in their career?
04:32No, they cut him.
04:33He wouldn't even be there anymore.
04:34Yeah.
