00:01The Knicks to me is like the Forrest Gump kid in every high school.
00:05That kid that's just like a little off, a little disadvantaged,
00:09like you never know if that kid is going to get it together,
00:11but you love them, you want to see them win.
00:14To see the Forrest Gump-ass Knicks put it together this year is just like,
00:18it warms my whole heart, body, spirit.
00:25Knicks fans are a specific species of human that should be studied.
00:30It's special, man. They're crazy.
00:32They're crazy.
00:39We are winning!
00:49Chef Eddie Wong, I am a writer, director, chef, and long-suffering Knicks fan.
00:58I was the biggest child Patrick Ewing fan.
01:01I followed him from Georgetown to the Knicks,
01:04and that is how my love affair with the New York Knicks began.
01:08I do feel my love of the Knicks drove me to make New York my home.
01:13But man, I don't think I was ever going to see a Knick team this good.
01:18Like, this is beautiful basketball these boys are playing.
01:21I was at game one of the Eastern Conference Finals last year
01:24when the fucking Indiana Pacers came back and beat us double OT.
01:29That was the worst game I've ever watched in real life.
01:32I felt like I was part of that loss.
01:34I feel the stink on me, and I'm just like,
01:37I'm not coming back to the Garden until we win.
01:43Okay, so my first fiancé's father gave me this Frasier jersey.
01:51It didn't even fit me. It was way too big.
01:54I took it as an insult that he bought me a jersey like three sizes too big.
01:59When we went down to the Hawks, one to two games, I gave this jersey to this man.
02:06And since then, we have reeled off 12 wins in a row.
02:09This is Ray Frasier. Ray, would you like to say something?
02:13Go Knicks.
02:13This is Ray Frasier for theawiree feeler.
02:14He's got 12 wins in a row.
02:17He's so deeply in love with this team.
02:20I truly think that them being in the finals right now might be more important to him
02:24or more memorable to him than the birth of our son.
02:28I really think that, and now that I've been with him for so long,
02:31that doesn't even upset me.
02:33Like, this team means everything to him.
02:41The goal when we opened Bauhaus was creating a community spot
02:45where, like, all our friends who come and hang out,
02:47we were like, it's going to be a party every night,
02:49and of course it's not.
02:50People have jobs and they have things to do,
02:52and now it is a party every night.
02:56There's a lot of discourse about, like, New York is dead
02:59or it's New York has changed,
03:00and I think we can kind of see that that's not the case at all.
03:05New York is very much alive,
03:06and I think the Knicks being in the playoffs
03:07and having this run has really brought everyone together and outside,
03:11and I think the party is not over.
03:27being a fan of the Knicks is signing up for pain.
03:46anyone who has been a Knicks fan for a minute and signed up for this life,
03:52I believe them.
03:53they're Promethean.
03:57And to wake up potentially one day and the Knicks be champions would just be like,
04:03the boulder is off my back.
04:06I don't feel like I'm starting every day 10 points down.
04:11the thorn in my side is gone.
04:14Everyone, I love you.
04:18Honestly, I just, I love you.
04:22That's it.
04:22Like, I love these guys so much.
04:24I don't even want to meet them.
04:25I don't even want to be in the same arena.
04:27I'm just watching and just praying.
04:28It's like, please, please do this, guys.
04:31And I believe in these guys.
05:12I was not born the last time the Knicks were championed.
05:16I don't know what it would feel like.
05:18I don't know.
05:24Tears of joy.
05:25I think he'll shut Bauhaus down.
05:27I truly think he'll cancel his book tour.
05:29He will be in New York and he will have 75 Knicks jerseys on.
05:34I will just be quietly laying on my floor,
05:38just like soaking it in for the entire year.
05:44It's unbelievable.
05:46It's unbelievable.
05:57Global Knicks Nation will explode.
06:13F**k you, friend.
06:14Yeah, go cry to your mother, b**ch.
06:18There is no doubt.
06:18I have time.
06:18But I should go keep ozone.
06:21I feel like I'm going to be Catalonia when you're watching.
