Transcript

My husband's asleep, but the Knicks have come back. There's four minutes best, and they're down by four. So I'm running out of my apartment to go to the sports bar on the court. We're down by one with a two minutes Thirty eight seconds left. We're up by one. I'm so glad I got out of bed for this. Eeli got out of bed. So it's Eli heard the screaming from our apartment tier ran down, like, out of bed. He was already asleep when I left. Next, but I was asleep. Sadly, though, the bar that we just ran into doesn't play any songs, so we'll have to sing Jay z and Alicia Keys at home.
