With the Knicks winning, we debate if the Jets are the last impossible team in town that desperately needs their own Jalen Brunson. Jerry's update brings us Mikal Bridges downing 9am tequila and making goat noises to Coldplay on IG Live, before we hear Michelle Beadle and Draymond Green weigh in on the Spurs skipping postgame handshakes. We then revisit James Dolan's pre-playoff address and recap the Mets getting crushed 12-0 by the Reds, closing the hour by discussing NJ World Cup commutes with Yussef in-studio getting ready for Morocco.

Jerry starts with audio of James Dolan addressing the team before the playoffs started. Kenyon Martin said Jalen Brunson should not pay attention to anything Becky Hammon has to say. The Mets were shutout by the Reds, 12-0. Stephen A. Smith called UFC at the White House a ‘great, great event'. Jay Williams called it a better event than the NBA Finals. OK, terrific.
