**Craig Carton** (0:00)
The Knicks, NBA Finals, first time since...

**Chris McMonigle** (0:03)
Summer of 69 99 Prince.

**Craig Carton** (0:07)
We're ready to party like.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:08)
You came up with that all by yourself? It was a unique thought, you think?

**Craig Carton** (0:12)
No, I don't think it was unique.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:13)
You kind of like take an ownership of like, guess what I came up with? I have a great idea.

**Craig Carton** (0:16)
I've been thinking of a song, I've been waiting to see if Pete would play it, he has not so far, and if it didn't get played by tomorrow, I was gonna make sure we play it tomorrow.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:24)
Got it.

**Craig Carton** (0:25)
But he brought up a song, so I thought I'd just bring it up.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:28)
I think it's great that he brought it up.

**Craig Carton** (0:29)
What did you think of Party Like 1999? It's like a relevant thing to play.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:32)
Considering it's the last time we're in the finals but lost.

**Craig Carton** (0:35)
Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999 The ironic thing is...

**Chris McMonigle** (0:41)
Is what?

**Craig Carton** (0:41)
It was a futuristic song when he wrote it. And now we're thinking about going into the past.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:45)
Right.
Then we had the whole Y2K scare. Everybody went crazy, turn your computers off.

**Craig Carton** (0:51)
Yeah, I remember that. The world's gonna end.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:52)
All we're getting. Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (0:53)
The Y2K bug. All of our clocks are gonna go to zero.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:56)
Is that right?

**Craig Carton** (0:57)
I think that was the fear. That all the systems weren't gonna be able to go to 2000 It was gonna go from 1999 to zero.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:03)
Like a pinball machine when it gets to a million.

**Craig Carton** (1:05)
Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:05)
Right back to zero. I swear to God, it had a million points.

**Craig Carton** (1:08)
Look, it's not right.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:09)
One of those deals. Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:10)
But yeah, I thought Party Like It's 1999 would have been applicable.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:13)
What video game were you best at as a kid growing up? I mean, arcade-sized video game. Not like Nintendo and television, ColecoVision.
