1
00:00:01,640 --> 00:00:04,600
What's going on everybody what's
happening Happy new year to you 

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,440
welcome back to unleashed about 
the what the 4th of the 5th show

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,640
we've done so appreciate you 
guys hanging out. 

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,000
I got to tell you I mean I'm I'm
just I'm absolutely fired up 

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,040
about Mendoza. 
We'll get to some other stuff 

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,880
how the Yanks and the Mets 
whiffed on of my obviously the 

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,480
story with Heyman about the 
Yankees, maybe be an interest in

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,360
Bichette got some hot stove for 
you. 

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,040
But you know, listen, I I don't 
need to see anything else from 

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,720
Fernando Mendoza. 
He's got it all. 

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,680
I mean, he's big, he's good 
athlete, incredibly accurate. 

12
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,120
But most importantly, and This 
is why The Jets need to do 

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,560
whatever it takes to get this 
guy. 

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,120
And I'll get into the Raiders, 
the complications there and 

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,720
obviously the Giants at the 
giants lose and then the giants 

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,680
are I'll get into all those 
different machinations. 

17
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,800
But think about this guy the the
thing that's been so elusive for

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,160
the Jet quarterback, all right? 
They've had guys that can throw,

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,720
I mean, Zach Wilson can throw 
it, you know, across an ocean on

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,120
on the run. 
Sam Darnell had a pretty good 

21
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,440
arm, pretty good athlete as 
well. 

22
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,960
They've had guys that timed well
at the combine that threw well 

23
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,960
at the combine. 
You know what The Jets never 

24
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:12,440
have. 
The Jets never have a sound 

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,000
decision maker. 
Oh, yeah. 

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,440
By the way, also has the 
requisite physical attributes to

27
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,200
be a stud. 
Mendoza's the guy. 

28
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,080
I mean, that that's it. 
That's all there was doing. 

29
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,000
Yesterday was a phenom day, you 
know, Nurse the hangover late 

30
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,280
night the night before yesterday
was a gift from the sporting 

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,040
college football NFL gods. 
As much as this year, at least 

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,120
with The Jets and the Giants, 
has absolutely sucked. 

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,720
Pretty much like every other 
year. 

34
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,040
You could just sit down on the 
couch and you can get in a 

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,040
little Dante more, see what he's
got. 

36
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,560
If you haven't watched them yet,
which I have, but many of you 

37
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,440
kind of just let make more, 
maybe not many, some of you 

38
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,920
jumping into this quarterback 
evaluation pool now and then 

39
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,640
right after that you get to 
watch Fernando Mendoza 

40
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,680
absolutely toy with an Alabama 
team. 

41
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,760
Now, let me at least just get 
this out of the way because I 

42
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,000
know we didn't play well, they 
didn't score, he got hurt. 

43
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,520
I actually think not for The 
Jets at 3:00 or wherever they 

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,000
might be. 
I actually think Ty Simpson is 

45
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,080
better than some of you think. 
If you've watched Alabama this 

46
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,800
year. 
They just, they can't run the 

47
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,120
ball. 
I mean, they're asking this kid 

48
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,800
to throw the football 7273% of 
the time, which is just 

49
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,760
untenable. 
So he is, I actually think if he

50
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,160
comes out and there's somebody 
in that, you know, 131518 range,

51
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,640
whatever, I wouldn't go nuts if 
somebody took him. 

52
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:32,360
I wouldn't I wouldn't proclaim 
that it was a bad pick, put it 

53
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,520
that way, just because he didn't
do anything yesterday And 

54
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,320
Alabama is just a a shove of 
what they used to be. 

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,040
But to me, and again, you had to
have watched Mendoza for most of

56
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,960
the season, even going back to 
the game with Oregon early in 

57
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,600
the year, rainy, which obviously
portends, you know, you would 

58
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,160
think good things in the 
inclement. 

59
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,520
Especially I think every jet 
home game it's raining. 

60
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,880
The inclement weather at 
MetLife, the winds, the 

61
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,360
wrongness, the chill like he's 
played well and it's very tough 

62
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,320
conditions, right. 
So I checked that box a long 

63
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,480
time ago. 
Now we don't even know if Dante 

64
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,560
Moore's coming out right. 
We don't we don't know that. 

65
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,120
But yesterday in that game. 
Am I missing so I am missing 

66
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,240
super chats. 
I want to make sure that guys I 

67
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,800
got to figure this out all right
so as I do this yeah, for one 

68
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,280
Brooklyn boy to another. 
You know what good job on that 

69
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,480
cold keep pop those up for me. 
That'll make it easier for one 

70
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,560
Brooklyn boy to another. 
Wishing you nothing but the best

71
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,160
BT I appreciate that telly lot 
77 Thank you salute get the word

72
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,400
like subscribe If you're on X 
and you're seeing this for the 

73
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,880
first time, obviously at some 
point jump to my YouTube page 

74
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,200
and and like it and subscribe it
A lot of different content out 

75
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,920
there and I'll tell you about 
something that doesn't pertain 

76
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,040
to the New York sports scene 
that that I did as well. 

77
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,160
That is up there, but I'll tell 
you about that later. 

78
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,880
All right, so the the play early
in the game, it's third down, 

79
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,160
it's third and two Indiana's 
pinned at their own 10. 

80
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,400
It's now I knew Indiana was 
going to win, but you know, you 

81
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,520
never know. 
You have an early wacky 

82
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,520
occurrence and and they are 
young athletes and sometimes 

83
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,920
young athletes process pressure 
differently. 

84
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,640
They could be a little fragile 
or they can be emboldened 

85
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,560
depending upon what happened. 
So if if, if, if Indiana punts 

86
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,360
early and you know, at that 
point, Alabama would have had a 

87
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,839
short field because they would 
have been punting basically from

88
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,680
their end zone, probably get 
around midfield. 

89
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,320
You don't really know where the 
flow of the game is going to go.

90
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,440
And and not so much about that. 
I care that Indiana won, 

91
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,480
although I was absolutely 
rooting for Indiana because I 

92
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,320
love the story and it's just 
amazing that third down play 

93
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,240
third and two. 
So subtle. 

94
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,640
And this is the thing that and 
I've already been sold on 

95
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,240
Mendoza. 
But when you see stuff like 

96
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,200
this, this is what should tell 
you. 

97
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,160
This should be the guy. 
And by the way, also the guy for

98
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,720
the Giants, which I'll get into 
in a minute. 

99
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,080
But this is what the New York 
Jets never have. 

100
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,680
They never have a guy on 3rd 
down. 

101
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,600
And by the way, Indiana number 
one in the NCAA in 3rd down 

102
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,960
conversion rate. 
Now, I know they run the ball 

103
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:01,240
well. 
I know they've got a great 

104
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,200
coach, so the schematics are 
fantastic. 

105
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,440
But that is, I can promise you 
this, when Mendoza goes to the 

106
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,200
NFL, they might still be really 
good on 3rd down. 

107
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,080
They're not going to be #1 you 
could book that they're #1 

108
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,960
because Mendoza anyway takes the
snap and he does a conventional 

109
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,200
drop and he's kind of flown out 
to the right a little bit. 

110
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,920
And you know, somebody on, on 
Alabama, I, I think it was ADN 

111
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,000
kind of cracks through and is 
coming at him now. 

112
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,240
You have two choices. 
You can either speed things up 

113
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,680
and get sloppy and, you know, 
make a bad throw or maybe try to

114
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,040
run it and maybe get stopped or 
maybe try to run it and get it. 

115
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,320
But what I loved about that 
play, and you know the play that

116
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,360
I'm talking about, it was the 
least amazing play that he all 

117
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,040
that he made all day, maybe all 
year if you really like in terms

118
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,640
of his highlights. 
But it was the play that once 

119
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,840
again should tell The Jets that 
this is the dude that you want 

120
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,680
leading your team period. 
I don't want to hear about 

121
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,040
pumping to 2027 and when you've 
got the three first round picks 

122
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,960
and arch, who's looking better 
and better and better. 

123
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,120
I get that this is the guy now. 
How do you get your hands on 

124
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,040
him? 
I'm not entirely sure I've got a

125
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,960
plan. 
I'll divulge it in a moment. 

126
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,880
But on that roll out, you could 
see the defender coming out 

127
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,240
coming at him and as he's going 
like in in a, in a, in a 

128
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,840
straight line toward the right 
hash at the last second, he's so

129
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:27,400
quickly processes that this 
dude's going to either back down

130
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,640
my pass or get me. 
You actually see him kind of 

131
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,480
just flow backwards, maybe a 
yard and a half, maybe 2 Max. 

132
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,520
It was subtle. 
And as he does that and creates 

133
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,240
that extra space to get the ball
off, he jumps off his off 1 foot

134
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,280
like Jeter in the hole and he 
throws a dime, not a laser, but 

135
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:48,520
the plate 'cause he didn't have 
to. 

136
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,400
The placement was a keyhole. 
There was one place to put that 

137
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,080
football and Mendoza put it and 
it was amazing. 

138
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,320
It was absolutely amazing. 
And those are the things, you 

139
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,440
know, if if I'm Moody and I'm 
watching this sometimes, I don't

140
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,200
need to see anything else. 
He's 65, he's 225. 

141
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,960
He runs well enough. 
He's a great kid. 

142
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,480
He's never going to get in a 
lick of trouble. 

143
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,680
You never have to worry about 
that. 

144
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,440
He's a phenomenal teammate. 
And and you know, by the way, 

145
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,600
when you you look at his body 
type and this ties into Dante 

146
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,840
board a moment. 
He went, you know, you could 

147
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,800
give him 2-3 years in the weight
room. 

148
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:26,520
He's going to be 65235 easy, 
easy, and he's going to carry 

149
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,120
that weight easy. 
It's not going to be like trying

150
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,240
to stack, you know, 12 lbs on 
Zach Wilson's tiny frame. 

151
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,560
This is a big dude. 
This is a real man. 

152
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,320
And this is the quarterback that
I want for the New York Jets 

153
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,880
period. 
All right, Robert, Robert Huares

154
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,480
or Huertas. 
Thank you, Robert. 

155
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,120
Hey, BT Jets fan here. 
I think we need a new owner. 

156
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,120
While I mean, that's a given, I 
mean, I could do an entire five 

157
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,280
hours on how I wish Woody 
Johnson didn't own The Jets. 

158
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,160
He's awful and we and our own 
stadium, that would be nice as 

159
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,040
well. 
It will always be Giants 

160
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,680
Stadium, despite being called 
MetLife. 

161
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,480
That part I disagree with 
because where I used what was 

162
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,440
it, 5B or 5C, wherever I used to
tailgate for those couple of 

163
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,440
years that I had the tickets 
with Parcells for The Jets, our 

164
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,160
spot like 40D, right? 
Was staring at that now. 

165
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,320
I mean, I've got great respect 
for the Giants, but from my 

166
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:21,200
perspective, staring at that 
ugly Giants Stadium neon sign, 

167
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,200
that was Giants Stadium, they 
would just wrap it in green when

168
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,800
The Jets showed up to play 
football. 

169
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,400
So no, no, it's not the Giants 
Stadium. 

170
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,320
It's The Jets and the Giants 
Stadium. 

171
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,480
And it sucks both ways. 
When the Giants play there, it 

172
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,799
sucks. 
When The Jets play there, it 

173
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,280
sucks. 
Yeah, at night it looks a little

174
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,720
bit better because you got the 
neon. 

175
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,280
Whatever. 
They're not getting a new 

176
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,640
stadium anytime soon. 
And it's not Giants Stadium, 

177
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,520
it's MetLife. 
Now what's going on here is the 

178
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,280
what the hell is that? 
Why is that popping off? 

179
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,960
Oh, now, oh, now we see if you 
guys can see the amount of 

180
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,600
technology that I that I have in
this room. 

181
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,680
It is. 
And the problem is, is my son's 

182
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:06,280
going back to school on Monday. 
You know, usually the kids are 

183
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,400
holding me like God, get out, 
just go back to school. 

184
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,240
Mommy and daddy got to get back 
on routine. 

185
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,880
Come on, get out of the house, 
come back, get, you know, get 

186
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,960
back to the practices and the 
games and the Daily Slate. 

187
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,920
And I'm, I'm, you know, I'm 
lamenting when you know, he's, 

188
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,480
you know, and my daughter as 
well. 

189
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,040
But I'm like, that's my 
producer. 

190
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,160
Maybe we just maybe we do home 
school, get this thing running. 

191
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,000
OK, So you ask me. 
Well, genius. 

192
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,280
All right, You you love Fernando
Mendoza. 

193
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,240
You love them. 
Well, how are you going to get 

194
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,720
them? 
Because the Raiders are going to

195
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,360
pick first, obviously, in almost
all probability. 

196
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,160
So let me at least give you 
this. 

197
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,520
I don't want to assume that all 
of you know this. 

198
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,120
I know that some of you do. 
I get that. 

199
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,240
Bottom line, there's an 
infinitesimal percentage that 

200
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,840
The Jets get the first pick. 
Of course, that's our luck, and 

201
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,720
they won't get the first pick. 
But the way they could do it is 

202
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,320
Jets lose to the Bills. 
There's not a safer bet in the 

203
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,400
history of football then that. 
A freaking chance in hell that 

204
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,600
the now the Giants seem to win a
couple of games that they 

205
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,000
shouldn't and over the years and
The Jets did do what the with 

206
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,320
the Rams in the Lawrence 
sweepstakes. 

207
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,720
But generally, like when The 
Jets bleed out, The Jets at 

208
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,400
least give us the gift of 
bleeding out and not messing 

209
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,520
things up. 
So they're not going to mess 

210
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:17,600
this up. 
Not going to beat the Bills. 

211
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,400
Now when they lose to the Bills,
the Raiders and the Giants, OK, 

212
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,480
obviously if they win, well now 
The Jets are or and even 

213
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,160
potentially the Browns. 
And then of course, you 

214
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,680
incorporate like if things went 
incredibly favorably for The 

215
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:34,320
Jets, which there's like less 
than a 1% chance that'll happen,

216
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:36,680
then you would also have to look
at strike the schedule. 

217
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:38,080
I don't want to bog you down 
with that nonsense. 

218
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,320
They're not going to get the 
first pick. 

219
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,800
So it would take an act of God, 
which will never be bestowed 

220
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,280
upon The Jets, I'm sure to get 
the first pick. 

221
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,160
And it would take an act of 
cruelty for the football gods to

222
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,120
not pick, to pick worst and 4th.
So where they are now third, I 

223
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,280
think that's where they're 
picking. 

224
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,280
And maybe there's an outside 
chance they pick 4th. 

225
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,960
Listen, I do think that where's 
the, what's the numbers here? 

226
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,120
Yeah. 
I mean, I think there's actually

227
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,760
a slight chance that the Giants 
can win. 

228
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,760
And I actually think that 
there's a slight chance that the

229
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,320
Raiders could win. 
Who knows what these teams are 

230
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,760
constructing in terms of trying 
to, you know, flush these losses

231
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,360
down the shoot as much as they 
can. 

232
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,360
I I don't know the whole Max 
Crosby thing with the Raiders. 

233
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,240
That was pretty interesting. 
So, you know, the Raiders right 

234
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,160
now, they're taking on Kansas 
City. 

235
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,040
Vegas is 5 1/2 point dogs. 
I would think that the Chiefs 

236
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,760
will somehow find a way to win 
it. 

237
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,800
A grotesque bet. 
The under ugly, you know, low 

238
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,480
scoring eyesore of the game. 
Raiders, obviously. 

239
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,000
Pardon me, Dallas, I'll be 
taking off the G men. 

240
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,200
Giants are plus 3 1/2. 
I would flip a coin. 

241
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,200
I think of all the teams, I 
think the Giants probably have 

242
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,040
the best chance to win that 
game. 

243
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,920
Giants, The Jets a shot, 6 1/2. 
No way. 

244
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,280
Tennessee at 42. 
Touchdown dogs at Jacksonville. 

245
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:58,400
Arizona, They don't need a 
quarterback anyway. 

246
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,400
Well, they might need one down 
the road. 

247
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,680
They won't. 
They won't draft one this year. 

248
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:04,840
They just drafted Kim Ward. 
Arizona, they might take a 

249
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,360
quarterback at the Rams. 
They'll lose that game. 

250
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,040
And then when you get below 5, 
you're looking get the Browns at

251
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,440
six. 
They need a quarterback. 

252
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,800
The commanders don't. 
New Orleans might, Kansas City, 

253
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,160
Cincinnati. 
All right, so that that's the 

254
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,960
stuff there. 
Now, how do you actually get 

255
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,760
assuming this plays out, Raiders
one, Giants 2, Jets 3. 

256
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,600
How do you actually get this 
where the The Jets can entice 

257
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,480
the Raiders enough to actually 
make a trade with them and maybe

258
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,960
even somebody else behind The 
Jets. 

259
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,760
But this is where all the assets
that Muji collected obviously 

260
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,520
very, very favorable for The 
Jets if they want to jump in, 

261
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:45,240
you know, to to to to the top 
spot. 

262
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,040
Well, first of all, you've got 
to at least hold on to the 

263
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,760
notion. 
And this is a beautiful thing. 

264
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,280
There aren't many teams Dumber 
in the NFL than the New York 

265
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,720
Jets. 
Here's one. 

266
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,640
It's the Raiders. 
I don't care if they're in 

267
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,200
Oakland. 
I don't care if they're in 

268
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,360
Vegas. 
They are dumb and they are bad. 

269
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:06,560
And they are also still because 
of because of Davis, you know, 

270
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,680
they are still beholden to 
certain things that at least at 

271
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:14,880
from a, a, a player 
characteristic interpretation 

272
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,560
point of view as they scout 
these players. 

273
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,080
I, I don't think it's completely
impossible that the Raiders take

274
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,760
Dante more. 
I, I really know number one, you

275
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,880
think about the proximity the 
state of Oregon to the state of 

276
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,920
Nevada. 
Now, if it's me, I, I wouldn't 

277
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,360
let that factor into the 
decision because Mendoza is just

278
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,920
better period. 
But you never know what the 

279
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,280
Raiders. 
Now let's say the Raiders this 

280
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,640
morning and there was a report 
that they might be considering 

281
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,040
more. 
Again, you throw it out there, 

282
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,040
you entice teams to make trades.
You can't get too wrapped up in 

283
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,880
in that nonsense there. 
Much like with Boris and the 

284
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,520
reports and all the baseball 
stuff floating out there, 90% of

285
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,480
it's a bunch of bullshit. 
We all know that you got to be 

286
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,960
smart to sort through it. 
However, I do really think that 

287
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,920
they could be that they can fall
in love with Dante Moore if they

288
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,080
haven't already and they're 
playing each other next week in 

289
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,000
the semifinals. 
You'll get the Mendoza morphing 

290
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,920
more match up. 
And honestly, it's going to 

291
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,960
sound crazy. 
I actually almost want, even 

292
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,400
though I'm really rooting for 
Indiana. 

293
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,000
I just love their story. 
It's amazing. 

294
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,880
Hadn't been to the Rose Bowl 
since, what, 1968? 

295
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,360
I mean, it's always Bobby Knight
Hoosiers basketball. 

296
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,040
It's great to see that and their
coach is phenomenal. 

297
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,640
But if Oregon were to win and 
Dante Moore was to shine, that 

298
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,160
might be like the the final 
impetus #1 for Dante Moore to 

299
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,320
declare that he's coming out. 
Because that still has to 

300
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,200
happen. 
Now, if that doesn't happen, 

301
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,280
we're screwed because then 
they're definitely taking 

302
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,480
Mendoza. 
And if more does come out, you 

303
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,120
know, I, I, I don't know what 
the exact calculus would be for 

304
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,320
the Raiders again, Is it 
geography that could sell some 

305
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,720
more tickets? 
Is it they think he's a slightly

306
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,160
better athlete? 
Is it that now this this part 

307
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,160
could be true? 
And this is where I think 

308
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,800
there's a just enough viability 
to the possibility the reports, 

309
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,600
or at least the industry 
speculate. 

310
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:05,880
I wouldn't call it a hard 
report. 

311
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,520
I'd call IT industry speculation
that the Raiders might take 

312
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:10,800
more. 
He's young. 

313
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,920
He is 20 all right now. 
He's also pretty light and in 

314
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,480
terms of weight, 63, he's 
2O42O5. 

315
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,880
You know, and, and, and you 
know, how much functional weight

316
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,680
can you pop on that kind of 
frame now and not have it 

317
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,960
adversely impact his, you know, 
his measurables as he gets 

318
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,320
deeper into his career? 
I don't have that worry with, 

319
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,840
with Mendoza because he's 
already carrying around 225 S to

320
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,800
me to get, as I said before, 
232-230-3235 in 3-4 years. 

321
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,800
That's a given. 
The weight room, nutrition, just

322
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,960
a little change of, of how he 
trains and how he approaches his

323
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,280
career, his job. 
I think that that's very 

324
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,080
plausible. 
It's going to happen and I don't

325
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,640
think he's going to lose 
anything more. 

326
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,600
I, I don't know, but what the 
Raiders could be thinking here 

327
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,760
is that because he's so young, 
that there might be some much 

328
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,120
more untapped potential that 
they might be willing, if they 

329
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:12,320
are enticed enough to maybe say,
you know what, we view both of 

330
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,520
these prospects kind of the 
same. 

331
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:20,280
Maybe we like Mendoza a little 
more for 2026, you know, maybe 

332
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,360
we're convinced that more in 
2028 and beyond, you know, a 

333
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,880
couple of years down the road 
can be slightly better or 

334
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,760
comparable. 
Well, I mean, you know, if you 

335
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,560
start knocking down that door 
with multiple first round picks,

336
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,200
the Raiders just might be dumb 
enough to do it. 

337
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,680
They really, really might be. 
And and if that's the case, I 

338
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:44,600
mean, it's I trust Muji 
completely to be able to do 

339
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:45,760
that. 
I really do. 

340
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,480
Let's see here, guys. 
Let's see Brad from Miniola at 

341
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,640
Brad Kaufman 3582. 
Appreciate the Super chat there.

342
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,760
Hey, we're figuring this out. 
Give me money. 

343
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,960
Give me money. 
Hey, how easy is this? 

344
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,200
You know, I'll leave the fan. 
I set up shop in my office. 

345
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,720
People give me money. 
Brad. 

346
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,680
Brad from Miniola. 
I can't wait for the phone 

347
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,400
calls. 
And I and I could and I could 

348
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,280
spit, oh, can spit that fire the
way you get that you got this BT

349
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,200
to the moon. 
No doubt. 

350
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,240
That is the goal. 
That is the objective. 

351
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,160
Now we have I, I should tell you
this, we have already secured 

352
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:21,960
and I want to be upfront with 
you guys as I always and it's 

353
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,240
not going to happen tomorrow. 
Well, tomorrow, Saturday. 

354
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,599
So it's definitely not going to 
happen tomorrow. 

355
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,680
It's not going to happen Monday.
It is going to happen where you 

356
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,720
will have an ability to call BT 
unleash. 

357
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,920
That is something I want, that 
is something I need. 

358
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,000
That is something we're doing 
period. 

359
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,080
Nothing like nothing else like, 
well, maybe, maybe it's going to

360
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,720
happen. 
I just can't tell you exactly 

361
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,640
when. 
Now we've already secured the 

362
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,080
phone number. 
That's already done. 

363
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,480
We already have the number. 
So there's things behind the 

364
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,400
scenes I won't bore you with. 
You know, you technical people, 

365
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,680
you can probably imagine mixers 
and other laptops and a full 

366
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,640
time producer when my son's, you
know, not in science class as a 

367
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,800
fifth grader. 
So these are all things we got 

368
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,160
to figure out and we will. 
But yeah, I was pumped. 

369
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,080
I came in this morning to get 
ready for the show. 

370
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,960
And listen, I'm, I'm still 
sitting here watching YouTube 

371
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,720
tutorials how to make this 
better, how to do all the things

372
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,360
we're going to do. 
And it's it's a product like the

373
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:19,040
monetization process for YouTube
is not easy. 

374
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,880
And it's a little overwhelming 
when you go from, you know, a 

375
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,720
conventional terrestrial radio 
job, which I've had my entire 

376
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,800
life to opening up this broad 
new world, which is amazing, a 

377
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,240
little daunting and less 
daunting by the day, but amazing

378
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,120
to me because I got no limits 
now. 

379
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,040
I could do whatever I want, 
whenever I want with whomever I 

380
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,800
want, to whatever extent I want.
Yankees fire somebody, bang, 

381
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,760
we're live. 
God forbid, I don't even want to

382
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,000
say somebody gets hurt for the 
Knicks. 

383
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,680
Knicks make a trade, boom, we're
live. 

384
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,960
Jets make a trade, bang, we're 
live. 

385
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:56,000
Shane gets fired, which won't 
happen, but should boom, we're 

386
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,520
live. 
So I'm loving it, but I'm 

387
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,120
figuring things out a little bit
still, as as you guys can tell. 

388
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,840
But when I signed on today, if 
finally I finally had that last 

389
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,440
level of monetization like 
you've got to hit. 

390
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,160
I hit the I hit the benchmarks 
immediately thanks to you guys 

391
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,560
and I didn't do anything. 
You guys supported me 1000 Subs 

392
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,760
right away, 4000 viewing hours 
right away. 

393
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,160
And then what happens? 
And I understand it's a process 

394
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,440
where then YouTube's got to dive
in there. 

395
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,960
People have to dive in to make 
sure it's all legit. 

396
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,440
There's no like fake subscribers
or fake likes and comments like 

397
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,680
I mean, I mean, if I get to that
point, then I'm just, I'm just 

398
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,920
leaving the business all 
together because then then 

399
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,680
something went really wrong. 
Then I will become a coach like 

400
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,280
I used to think about back in 
the day, right? 

401
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,880
I'll be, I don't know if I might
have to move, but I I would 

402
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,000
switch careers. 
I'm, I'm kidding the this is 

403
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:47,840
great. 
This is great. 

404
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,440
I, I, I'm really, really 
enjoying this. 

405
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,000
I'm really, really loving it. 
But when I came in today, that 

406
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,760
last evaluation on, on their end
popped and there was like a 

407
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,440
little like, I don't know, a 
little metal. 

408
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,320
What am I going to do with that?
But a little metal that said, 

409
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,600
Hey, you know, you're fully 
cleared. 

410
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,680
Then you got to start checking 
the million freaking boxes. 

411
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,360
You got to start linking bank 
accounts, which is what my wife 

412
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:08,440
is doing right now. 
I'll tell you, it's a family 

413
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,840
show. 
It is. 

414
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,160
Well, at least it's a family 
operation there. 

415
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,360
There are a couple of curse 
words. 

416
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:15,720
So I try to keep it. 
You know kind of clean, but 

417
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,840
sometimes things just happen. 
Let's see here all right, so I'm

418
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,640
figuring out the Super chats. 
I'm seeing a bunch. 

419
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,280
I don't want to ignore you guys 
Armand. 

420
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,040
I mean 20 bucks that's 
incredibly generous. 

421
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,200
Thank you very much wish you all
the best. 

422
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,820
I really really, really 
appreciate that at Nate under 

423
00:20:32,820 --> 00:20:35,800
score Jets listen to you all on 
on different platforms growing 

424
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,080
up in New York City. 
So you probably go back to my 

425
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,840
days at 10:50. 
Wow, maybe the wheelhouse, maybe

426
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,040
the Nick pre post game show on 
MSG God, I was horrible at that.

427
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,480
I had no idea what I was doing. 
YouTube's the most enjoyable way

428
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,000
to continue and consume things, 
in my opinion. 

429
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,840
You know you're going to kill a 
BT. 

430
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,360
That's the objective, no doubt. 
All right, Who, man, 4766? 

431
00:20:57,360 --> 00:20:58,520
What are these things popping 
up? 

432
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,240
Look at this. 
I love, love the action. 

433
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,920
It's like when I'm playing 
blackjack in the casino. 

434
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:05,000
I got two hands and all the 
little side bets. 

435
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,560
A lot of things happen, and I 
like this. 

436
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,520
The busier the better. 
This fits my mind. 

437
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,640
All right, BT what's the plan 
for The Jets if more doesn't 

438
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,400
come out and Mendoza goes to the
Raiders? 

439
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,880
OK, Well, at that point, and 
that is a very important 

440
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,400
question in this equation, 
Obviously, if Moore plays really

441
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,800
well and he played OK yesterday,
he was he was fine. 

442
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:32,280
He was good. 
If he comes out, then if he 

443
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,080
comes out and the Raiders don't 
take him, I'm not taking Dante 

444
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,840
Moore for The Jets myself. 
I'm not doing it. 

445
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,040
I'm I'm just not. 
So I'm going to pass on that. 

446
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,120
And now I'm open for business. 
Oh, the Browns, you know, 

447
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,680
whomever the Cardinals, you want
him. 

448
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,520
Guess what, I might take him. 
You know, now I hold you hostage

449
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,160
and I need multiple first round 
picks and maybe a good useful, 

450
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,880
young, cheap, really productive 
players too as well. 

451
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,840
And I'll build out my roster and
whatever, I'll just I'll get a 

452
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,360
bridge quarterback and I'll go 
to work in 2027. 

453
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,240
Like that's the beautiful thing 
about this guy's like the The 

454
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,520
Jets really do control now, not 
2026 as much. 

455
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,200
They absolute, and I've said 
this, 2027, whatever they want 

456
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,120
to do, they could do. 
And I mean anything. 

457
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:23,000
All right, this year, most of 
what they can do they can 

458
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,720
control, except forcing the 
Raiders not to take Mendoza 

459
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,960
because if they are really truly
compelled to do it, which I'm a 

460
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,040
little less certain that they 
are, then maybe others. 

461
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,280
Well, then there's always an 
Ave. for dialogue. 

462
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,080
There's always a means for 
conversation and there's always 

463
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,040
the ability to present somebody 
with a deal that they can not 

464
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,880
turn down. 
And that would be that onus is 

465
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,160
on The Jets, not me, not you. 
We can scream and shout all we 

466
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,360
want on BT Unleashed, which I 
will, to do it, but it's up to 

467
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:55,600
them. 
Jets got to have the appetite to

468
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,320
part with that draft capital. 
You know, hopefully Woody just 

469
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,680
stays out of it and sitting on a
beach somewhere in a hammock, 

470
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,400
not getting in the way. 
Woody, just stay out of the way,

471
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,480
right? 
Just stay at it. 

472
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,200
Let let the football people let 
them work. 

473
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,160
You can watch, you know, you can
even come into a room and poke 

474
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,880
your head in. 
Don't say a word. 

475
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,720
Don't get involved. 
Cut the checks, as they used to 

476
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,400
say, Go make yourself small. 
That's an old school expression,

477
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,800
a kid. 
Go make yourself make yourself 

478
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,880
small. 
So I think these developments 

479
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,520
are incredibly encouraging like 
I am. 

480
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,200
I am really excited for the 
future. 

481
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,480
You guys know that Now when you 
look at Mendoza just in terms of

482
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:37,800
pure stature, 65225 more 632 O 6
but he is young and that Ty 

483
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,400
Simpson 622 O 8. 
He is obviously a couple of 

484
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,960
tears down from from where those
certainly from where Mendoza is 

485
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,920
and to me even where Dante Moore
is now this one coming in from 

486
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,920
Joe that is a a tricky handle to
read. 

487
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,600
So Joe, I'm sorry about that at 
Joe Huby. 

488
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,560
I'm going to go with that. 
My bad buddy. 

489
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,240
Why is Gruden not a legit option
to replace Aaron Glenn? 

490
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,440
We need a real proven next level
coach who specifically has 

491
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,440
quarterback coaching experience 
to turn this offense around and 

492
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,240
develop these quarterbacks. 
OK, thank you very much. 

493
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,240
I appreciate that, Joe, Listen, 
I the number one, I want to roll

494
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,400
back with Aaron Glenn because I 
just don't think there's enough 

495
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,960
evidence that he can't coach now
if there's not a whole lot of 

496
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,800
evidence that he can. 
To be fair, it's a very nuanced 

497
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,240
statement. 
But and and I've done this on 

498
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,240
previous show. 
So I don't just want to always 

499
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,120
reset points and be repetitive. 
I want to push this thing 

500
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:31,640
forward. 
But Joe, to answer you 

501
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,120
succinctly, but but directly, 
you know, nobody's if you think 

502
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:38,240
that Mike Vrabel's going out 
with this Jets team that they 

503
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,120
ran out this year, the last, I 
don't mean the first, you know, 

504
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,760
789 weeks of the season. 
I'm talking about the the 

505
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:48,040
whatever roster you call that 
the last month or so when their 

506
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,840
point differential was the worst
in December in NFL history. 

507
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:53,680
Well, I think you're just 
delusional. 

508
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,920
You can only do so much. 
This is not high school where 

509
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,960
you take the air out of the ball
and you try to, you know, keep 

510
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,840
it in the 40s because you don't 
have the athletes. 

511
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,600
Even that's hard to do. 
But maybe a great coach can do 

512
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,440
that. 
We're a great high school coach,

513
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,720
whatever. 
In the pros, you either have 

514
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,720
great talent or you don't. 
And if you have good talent 

515
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,720
versus great talent and you have
a great coach, will that good 

516
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,960
talent can elevate When you have
shit talent and they have none, 

517
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,720
They have none. 
I mean, they're too many of 

518
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,000
their starters or backups and 
then too many of their backups 

519
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,400
should be taxi players, as I've 
said. 

520
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,920
So I I would not make the move 
from Aaron Glenn and I don't 

521
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,000
believe that they will. 
I don't care what reports are 

522
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,360
out there. 
I'm not here to, you know, dump 

523
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:38,920
on somebody's reporting. 
I don't do that unless I hear to

524
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,880
the contrary. 
And I'm not an NFL reporter and 

525
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,520
never pretend to be. 
You know, if I tell you 

526
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,400
something like Jazz getting 
traded at some point, that's 

527
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,080
because I'm hearing that. 
Or a couple of years ago when I 

528
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,560
knew Saint John's was going to 
go after Rick Pitino, it's 

529
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,640
because I heard that. 
Like if I tell you something 

530
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,400
like that, it's because I know 
it. 

531
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,640
Now, that doesn't mean that 
things can't change in terms of 

532
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,240
opinions or whatever. 
You know, negotiations can't 

533
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,440
breakdown. 
But I but I'm not here to break 

534
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,360
news. 
I'm here to provide content and,

535
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:08,600
and let it RIP and get loose and
have a blast with you guys and 

536
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,600
grow this thing out. 
So I'm not going to refute 

537
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,520
reports, but I myself, I, I 
just, I find it almost 

538
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,120
impossible to believe that under
any fair measurement, any, under

539
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:25,400
any fully transparent and on the
up evaluation that The Jets 

540
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,560
would look at Aaron Glenn and 
say there is no way we can bring

541
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,720
him back for year 2. 
I just think that that's unfair.

542
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Now. 
I also think it's misleading or 

543
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,480
misguided or even just overly 
ambitious to say, Oh yeah, 

544
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,040
there's there's a lot of signs 
here that Glenn is the guy. 

545
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,920
I don't really see any signs 
except that the pen, well, 

546
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,160
special teams was great. 
Penalties did go down about 7 or

547
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,680
8 spots in the NFL. 
And those are little things that

548
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,040
I wanted to see corrected, which
have been corrected. 

549
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,960
And Oh yeah, by the way, The 
Jets have what, number 7, I want

550
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,240
to say the number 7 rushing 
offense without a threat in the 

551
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,400
passing game, without Garrett 
Wilson for two months with an 

552
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,960
undrafted rookie quarterback. 
I mean, I don't know what you 

553
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,800
guys expect, but you got to get 
back to reality. 

554
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,240
And the reality for me is they 
are not going to move on from 

555
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,520
Glenn. 
They should not. 

556
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,280
And even if they did, Gruden 
would not be my target. 

557
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,920
He he just wouldn't be. 
I like John. 

558
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,560
I think he's awesome on TVI love
his quarterback stuff when he 

559
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,360
does the the film session with 
the players. 

560
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,480
I, I think, I think that Jon 
Gruden's NFL success, honestly, 

561
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,320
is widely overstated. 
I think it's vastly overrated. 

562
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,400
He won with somebody else's 
roster with the Tampa Bay Bucks,

563
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,680
right? 
And then he hasn't done a damn 

564
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,160
thing since. 
I mean, really had a lot of 

565
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,000
middling seasons. 
Can you really tell me that not,

566
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,600
you know, all the stuff with the
emails and what happened with 

567
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,600
him, with the Raiders, Not to 
defend him there at all, but do 

568
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,480
you actually think that he had 
the Raiders on course, like on 

569
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,640
this trajectory to become one of
the best teams in the AFC? 

570
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,720
The answer is absolutely not. 
So I know we fall in love with 

571
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,040
the name and the presentation 
and old school gruff guy. 

572
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,880
Like it kind of reminds us a 
little bit of Parcells and the 

573
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,080
way it used to be. 
I'm just not feeling it. 

574
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,600
Like if if that's like if they 
decided to fire Glenn. 

575
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,120
And again, I mean, really 
nothing would surprise you with 

576
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:14,480
this team. 
But like if they did, then you 

577
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,360
got to go out there. 
You got to make a trade for 

578
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,080
whomever loses the Steelers 
Ravens game or Lafleur, you 

579
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,920
know, if that ends really, 
really poorly for the Packers, 

580
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,680
Like that would be my plan. 
But I don't really dive too 

581
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,320
deeply into it in terms of 
bandwidth and and energy because

582
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,440
I just don't think it's going to
happen. 

583
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,040
I really don't you know, I I 
don't believe it's going to 

584
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,000
happen. 
Wow, these super chats. 

585
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,280
I love this. 
How about this at Armand Dash 

586
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,000
Dutta, very generous. 
Thanks, man wish you all the 

587
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,080
best. 
I appreciate that. 

588
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,960
The other thing too. 
Now let's incorporate the giants

589
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,480
here, right, because you're 
sitting there and you're 

590
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,240
listening to me talking about 
how the The Jets need to go and 

591
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:55,520
make that massive swing for 
Fernando Mendoza, which I stand 

592
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,120
by 1000%. 
I don't care if he goes 11 for 

593
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,280
17 with a pick and a fumble 
against, you know, against 

594
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:08,520
Oregon and they lose the game. 
I will not change my opinion on 

595
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,640
by far who the best quarterback 
is and what and who I want The 

596
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,520
Jets to get if they could. 
Again, you can't force teams to 

597
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,440
trade. 
You can only entice them enough 

598
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,440
to think about making a trade 
with you. 

599
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,880
So now the Giants are going to 
get in the way here. 

600
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,040
Now, I also think the Giants 
could win this weekend. 

601
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,880
I really do now, what, 3 1/2 
point dogs, Dallas at home. 

602
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,120
Who knows where Dallas's head is
now, Dallas will score. 

603
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,000
But I mean, it's not 
inconceivable that the Giants 

604
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,000
make some plays and they win. 
Now, I like Jackson Dart a lot. 

605
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,720
And this was this was probably 
when I go back to the party that

606
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,360
I was at on New Year's Eve, 
right. 

607
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,880
I think the thing that was 
brought up to me the most by I 

608
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,320
like that like the con might by 
the fire pit inside when the 

609
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,200
wipes were doing their things 
and we were doing we were doing 

610
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,200
basically just getting messed up
and hanging out. 

611
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,280
I I really think that it was the
jet like the Jackson dork 

612
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,920
conversation was what we talked 
about most of the night. 

613
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,480
And when there were a lot more 
giant fans there than jet fans. 

614
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,520
I love Jackson dork. 
I think Jackson dork is is 

615
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,120
awesome. 
I I think Mendoza is bigger, 

616
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,920
stronger, sturdier. 
I think that Mendoza is more 

617
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,960
accurate. 
I think the darts more dynamic. 

618
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,360
I think that I think they're 
both now Mendoza's like the 

619
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,760
choirboy and Dart is, which is a
good thing. 

620
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,320
I mean, you wouldn't mind a 
little more pizzazz, but 

621
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,480
whatever. 
Dort has that pizzazz, but which

622
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,520
is good. 
And that that juice and that 

623
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,520
that energy, that bounce, that 
that modern athletic 

624
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,720
relatability that I think feeds 
into the entire locker room, 

625
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,720
which I've talked about. 
And that's important. 

626
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,640
You know, the white guys, the 
black guys, those who were 

627
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,360
devoutly religious, those who 
aren't Republicans, Democrats, 

628
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,560
centrist, like the best 
quarterbacks connect with 

629
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,040
everybody. 
And I think Jackson Darts got 

630
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,160
that gift. 
I really do. 

631
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,520
So I'm a huge fan of Jackson 
Dart. 

632
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:59,080
However, if the Raiders take 
Dante Moore and I'm the Giants, 

633
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,800
I'm taking Mendoza. 
I'm taking Mendoza. 

634
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,520
And, and I, I don't mean I'm 
going to just present the 

635
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,800
illusion that I'm going to take 
Fernando Mendoza. 

636
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,280
I'm flat out taking Fernando 
Mendoza. 

637
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:14,920
And the only way I pivot at the 
last conceivable second is if 

638
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,880
somebody, and that would 
probably be The Jets or somebody

639
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,080
else gives me an offer that is 
like, and even from The Jets, 

640
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,960
like there's got to be limits. 
Like you're not giving up five 

641
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,000
first round picks or four of the
five that you have and you're 

642
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,440
not giving up. 
Well, you're not giving up four 

643
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,640
first round picks in two seconds
and Garrett Wilson, like you're 

644
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,960
not doing something stupid. 
But if somebody was compelled to

645
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,480
do that and I'm the Giants, 
well, then obviously you make 

646
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,880
the trade. 
But if it's not enough equity 

647
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,560
that I think is going to 
completely overhaul my my roster

648
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,040
and just give me this incredible
infusion of of, of potentially 

649
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,760
because it's a crapshoot, great 
young players that are 

650
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,000
controllable. 
I'm making the trade, you know, 

651
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,440
And again, this is coming from a
massive Jackson Dart fan. 

652
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,720
I, you know, when I say I'm 
making the trade, if if I'm just

653
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,280
pushed to a spot where I have 
to, then I will. 

654
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,520
I'm not looking to move on from 
Dart, but I'm looking to be open

655
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,640
minded. 
And if somehow Fernando Mendoza 

656
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,560
falls to two, I think you have 
to take him now. 

657
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,320
That's what I would do. 
Do I think that the Giants would

658
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,280
take him? 
I don't, I don't, I don't. 

659
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,080
And I think part of the reason 
is, I mean, again, did the fact 

660
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,560
that Joe Shane's going to be 
here is is just comical. 

661
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,560
But if we all know, going back 
to Hard Knocks, who was the one 

662
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,040
pushing for Jackson Dart? 
That was Brian Dabel. 

663
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,120
Now, that doesn't mean that 
Shane is not impressed with him 

664
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,160
at all. 
I'm not implying that one bit. 

665
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,800
But he's a little less married 
to the gentleman who stood up on

666
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,480
the desk and said we need this 
guy, guys, let's stop messing 

667
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,800
around. 
Get this guy, get he wanted to 

668
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,400
take him third overall. 
Dabel did. 

669
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,200
And you got to give Joe a little
credit here. 

670
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,800
He showed some restraint and he 
got Abdul Carter, who was a 

671
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,440
disaster for the 1st 13 weeks of
the season. 

672
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:00,600
Don't tell me about the 
pressures. 

673
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,280
Get to the quarterback and make 
some actual plays when you the 

674
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,120
third overall picked and you 
want and you want Lawrence 

675
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,120
Taylor's jersey number. 
Give me a break. 

676
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:08,720
But now we're starting to do 
that. 

677
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,840
And, and I I always thought 
Abdul Carter was going to be 

678
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,160
phenomenal. 
A little worried about some of 

679
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,760
the stories, maybe some of the 
the the habits or the, you know,

680
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,640
habitually being late or falling
asleep in a meeting. 

681
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,800
Those are some flares that, you 
know, another reason why the 

682
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,080
Giants got to bring in a big boy
coach, somebody who's done it. 

683
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,440
I mean, that that's one thing 
that they have to do. 

684
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,480
So you never really know what 
the Giants are thinking these 

685
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,280
days because the Giants have 
been a train wreck like The 

686
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,560
Jets. 
But I just I think for the Giant

687
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,600
now that again, they'll present 
this as as an option. 

688
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,320
Yeah, We're open everything. 
Sure, Sure. 

689
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,440
Yeah, Yeah. 
Do I really think that they. 

690
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:45,760
I don't think that they would 
take them. 

691
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,400
I don't. 
I'm just telling you what I 

692
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,000
would do. 
I really, really would. 

693
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,360
All right, I want to jump into 
something else here very 

694
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,960
quickly. 
We've got two other things for 

695
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,120
you. 
You know, I got the thing that 

696
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,160
bothers me right about the MI 
contract. 

697
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,720
And by the way, keep chiming in 
on The Jets. 

698
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,440
I mean those and the Giants and 
the coaching stuff and the 

699
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,720
quarterbacks. 
I'll get back to some of the 

700
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,200
chats there and some of the 
messages if you're new to the 

701
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,639
show. 
Thank you. 

702
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,320
I appreciate you guys joining 
me. 

703
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,000
What do we got a number of live 
watches here all right 2600. 

704
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,960
We got to get that up. 
Let's go spread the word. 

705
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,159
If you are new and you have yet 
to subscribe by all means, 

706
00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:21,920
please do like it subscribe and 
get comments going. 

707
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,600
That's how we get the the 
interactions, the algorithms, 

708
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:29,040
all these things that that we 
know you know fuel the YouTube 

709
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:34,400
machine real quick here. 
How about Rich Rich Rich Squires

710
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,880
986? 
What's up Rich Rich rocking that

711
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,800
beard huh? 
Rocking the Yankee cap as well. 

712
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,040
That's why you know Rich is a 
good man. 

713
00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:43,080
Congrats on the new channel BT 
Yankees comment. 

714
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,600
I'm going to get to that in a 
minute but here we go. 

715
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,639
What the believes going on with 
Cashman? 

716
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,960
He's willing to give 18 1/2 for 
a crap starter for three years 

717
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:53,520
but he passes on 330 ERA Solid 3
or 4. 

718
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,199
Hashtag sell the team. 
I listen. 

719
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,880
I mean, come on. 
Maybe I really haven't done it. 

720
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,320
Well, I don't think I have. 
I know I haven't. 

721
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,800
I haven't done it on YouTube. 
Maybe I need to do it on BT at 

722
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,400
least once, you know? 
So I just, you know, tap into 

723
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,200
the oath, the old sound bite, 
the old drop. 

724
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,400
Brian Cashman has not earned the
right to rebuild the Yankees the

725
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,960
way the Yankees need to be 
rebuilt. 

726
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,080
That said, three years ago, 
maybe 4. 

727
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,520
At this point, who the hell 
knows? 

728
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,280
Anyway, I stand by that Brian 
Cashman has not done a good 

729
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,640
enough job, period. 
Now, I'm also not going to yell 

730
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,120
and scream because Brian Cashman
is not going anywhere right now.

731
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,040
And to me, that is one thing 
I've learned when, when, when 

732
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,240
it's clear that something that 
we want to change is not going 

733
00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:38,600
to change. 
I mean, I'm going to hit a limit

734
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,400
as to how far and how 
aggressively I can protest it. 

735
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,200
You know what I mean? 
Like if, like, if we're not 

736
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,800
sure. 
And not that I was, let me take 

737
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,840
Tom Thibodeau. 
I wasn't sure what the Knicks 

738
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,440
were going to do. 
I said straight up when they got

739
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,720
bounced, said it to Sal. 
I wouldn't bring it back. 

740
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:56,960
I would move on. 
Love, Tom Thibodeau, massive 

741
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,400
respect. 
Got to move on. 

742
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,720
Here's why ABC boom, they did. 
It's working out pretty well. 

743
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:04,120
We'll see where it takes them. 
But that was different because I

744
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,560
thought that there was a a point
of reflection with the Knicks 

745
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,200
upstairs that that that was 
certainly in play because there 

746
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,120
was enough smoke throughout the,
you know, little snippets here 

747
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,280
and there. 
If you're a big Nick guy, you 

748
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,280
know, there were a few points 
where, hey, if this road trip 

749
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,240
early, if this road trip doesn't
go well and there's some 

750
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:23,000
rumblings, Nick's might move on 
from Tom Thibodeau. 

751
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,360
I'm not talking about that. 
I'm talking about a man who's 

752
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,960
been in the organization since 
the 90s, since the 90s. 

753
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,680
And he's done it. 
You know, he's a Hall of Famer, 

754
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,120
Brian Cashman. 
He's done a great job or he did 

755
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,280
a great job. 
Now I just think he does, you 

756
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,160
know, a good job and I want good
with the Yankees. 

757
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:43,800
I want great because that's what
the Yankees used to tell us. 

758
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,680
That's what their demands were. 
That's what their expectations 

759
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,280
were. 
Lose the World Series to the 

760
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,040
Marlins, failure. 
Lose the World Series in O1 to 

761
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,080
the Diamondbacks failure, get 
knocked out by the Tigers or you

762
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,320
know whomever else to get 
knocked at failure all those 

763
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,080
years, right, The Astros, Dallas
GEICO failure. 

764
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:02,800
All right, man, I'm just doing 
what you're telling me. 

765
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,680
So it is a failure when they 
don't win. 

766
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,520
They haven't won since O 9 
either way. 

767
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,720
What what is he doing? 
I, I, I don't, I don't know. 

768
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:11,480
Here's about a damn thing. 
Now. 

769
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:20,200
I'm also not going to become 
unhinged yet yet. 

770
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,920
That's the operative word yet 
because there are still a 

771
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,880
multitude of things the Yankees 
could do, as I've chronicled 

772
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:32,080
here on this channel, beating 
Unleashed, that will enable the 

773
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,680
Yankees to be in position to 
truly be a championship team, 

774
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,960
which right now they're not. 
And when I say truly be a 

775
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,760
championship team, you know, be 
the best team in the America 

776
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:41,760
League. 
Not going to be easy. 

777
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,320
Toronto's really good. 
Trust me, I know. 

778
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,120
And the other teams in the East,
the entire East has gotten 

779
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,000
better. 
The entire East has just taken a

780
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,160
massive step forward. 
Yanks have kind of laid out, but

781
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,200
if the Yankees get Bichette, the
Yankees get another arm or if 

782
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,920
the Yankees get Bellinger and 
another arm like I've I've laid 

783
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,040
this out and I'll get to the 
Bichette to to the Bichette 

784
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,200
stuff in a second. 
But you know, to answer that 

785
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,200
question, I I don't really I 
don't know what they're doing. 

786
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,160
I don't know what they're 
thinking. 

787
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,320
They're just I can only tell you
what I would do. 

788
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,080
Like if I own the Yankees, man, 
I would just go full freaking 

789
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,720
bore. 
I would say enough for this 

790
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:10,920
bullshit. 
We're winning. 

791
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,360
Screw the Dodger. 
Who do the Dodgers think that 

792
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,640
they are doing what we used to 
do? 

793
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:20,560
No, we're coming for you. 
Evil Empire, my behind, I mean 

794
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,840
they're kind of slinking in the 
side door. 

795
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,120
I want to see the stormtroopers,
you know, kick the door down and

796
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,040
I want to see Darth Vader come 
in with that red sward and start

797
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,960
whacking people left and right 
to take it over the ship, take 

798
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,760
it over the planet. 
They haven't do it. 

799
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,160
They don't do that anymore. 
You guys know that. 

800
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,640
So as I said, I wasn't get get 
worked up. 

801
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,520
I guess I get a little bit 
worked out because it's it does 

802
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,520
bother me, but there are things 
that they could do and until 

803
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,600
they don't do them, I'm going to
reserve my final assessment of 

804
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,080
the Yankees offseason until that
day. 

805
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,440
Now, I'll give you a little 
snippets here, a little dribs 

806
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,040
and drabs there, thoughts on 
what they should do. 

807
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,120
You know, analysis on young 
players. 

808
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,360
I mean, I, I love talking 
baseball. 

809
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,360
You guys know that as as much as
anybody, as much as anything, 

810
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,600
you know, family aside and, and 
religion, all that stuff, 

811
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,160
There's nothing, I don't think 
there's anything more that I, I,

812
00:39:11,240 --> 00:39:14,920
I enjoy then either being on a 
baseball field watching a 

813
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,840
baseball game or talking 
baseball and basketball is 

814
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,720
pretty damn close to I'll talk 
baseball everyday. 

815
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,000
So it's not that I don't want 
to, but I've got to at least 

816
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,320
maintain a level of not even 
respect, which I try to do 

817
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:33,760
anyway, but like a level of of 
understanding that that that 

818
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,640
it's it's not over. 
Like they can still do things 

819
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,200
here. 
And I think that they will. 

820
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,360
There's no way the Yankees, even
though I talked about this 

821
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,560
yesterday, there is no way that 
the Yankees aren't doing 

822
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:43,920
anything else the rest of the 
way. 

823
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,920
I mean, if that happens, 
whatever I say is going viral 

824
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,440
and I'm not even going to try to
go viral. 

825
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,760
It's just going to happen. 
Let's see Aaron from Australia. 

826
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,960
How about the the Bubba Gump 
1972? 

827
00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:01,520
Australia, let's trip on above 
me. 

828
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,640
What's up dude? 
Australia. 

829
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,840
I want to go to Australia that 
is just so far away. 

830
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,000
But a beautiful country. 
Awesome. 

831
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,680
Thank you, Aaron, and glad you 
have a new home. 

832
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,600
Now. 
We needed Sal and and and get 

833
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,320
the talk back in the calls. 
Let's go Mets. 

834
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,400
So I was I reached out to Sal, I
mean a couple times, but the 

835
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,280
other day I said we got to get 
you as a guest next week. 

836
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,320
So he's going to come. 
I don't know the day. 

837
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,480
I don't know the time. 
I've got to even figure out how 

838
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,920
to get the guest on the show, 
which we will do the rest of 

839
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,840
this weekend. 
But you know, unless something 

840
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,200
changed on his end, which I 
don't anticipate, we're going to

841
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,680
get Sal up on the show and 
that'll be next week. 

842
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,200
And speaking to Sal, I was 
checking this morning. 

843
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,480
There are there are only a 
handful of tickets for the BT 

844
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:48,600
and Sal live show with Aaron 
Boone on January 22nd it at the 

845
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,160
Vogel Theater in Red Bank, NJ. 
It's going to be awesome. 

846
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,840
Be up on the stage, food, booze,
Frank Sinatra impersonator. 

847
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,960
Obviously Boonie, me and Sal 
smack him around with the card 

848
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:01,720
game as well. 
No way we're losing that night. 

849
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,880
I mean, there's no way. 
Like it's one thing like we 

850
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,040
couldn't lose when when Boone 
challenged us and came into our 

851
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,440
old house at the fan and 
challenged us in the baseball 

852
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,760
card game and I love Boone. 
Boone went not all for one. 

853
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,040
Boonie went over 2. 
Sal beat him, I beat him. 

854
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,800
So that was our turf then. 
This is our turf that night. 

855
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,960
We can't let Aaron come. 
He's a proud man. 

856
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,280
So I wouldn't I wouldn't doubt 
if he's doing some homework, 

857
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,080
there's no way he is coming in 
and beating us on stage in front

858
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,680
of a live audience. 
That's going to be streamed by 

859
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,480
the way, too. 
So that that's going to be a lot

860
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,760
of fun. 
All right, let's see. 

861
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,880
OK, getting a lot of that stuff 
there. 

862
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,800
All right, So very quickly the 
my contract, right? 

863
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,160
This is the one thing now I'm 
going to get on the Yankees for 

864
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:45,640
this and I'm going to get on the
Mets for this. 

865
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:51,400
See the Yankees and Mets, 
they're not they're not cheap, 

866
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:53,800
all right, even though whole 
house cheap. 

867
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,880
That's an idiotic statement 
because they're not and the 

868
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,000
payroll backs that up next 
statement. 

869
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,360
Oh, I don't know, Cohen maybe 
just bought the Mets just to get

870
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,080
the Metropolitan Park and get 
those casinos and the the Soto 

871
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,760
thing was just a little 
enticement. 

872
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,000
Now he's done spending back to 
the Wilpons. 

873
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,680
Honestly, you're a clown if you 
think that. 

874
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,280
I'm sorry if you think that. 
I can't help you. 

875
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,560
If you think that and that's 
your opinion, fine. 

876
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:20,560
That is not my opinion. 
What my opinion is, is that 

877
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,960
neither team is dumb, although 
sometimes they do very dumb 

878
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,160
things. 
Neither team is cheap. 

879
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,280
What the problem is with both of
these teams is neither one of 

880
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,080
them has an ounce of creativity 
structuring these contracts. 

881
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,760
How come the Dodgers find a way 
to defray money and and defer 

882
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,760
money? 
How come the Astros? 

883
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,880
I'm like, I thought we were done
with the Astros. 

884
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,320
It's one thing, you know, for 
Altuve to know what pitches come

885
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,920
in and for those idiots to bang 
trash cans and for them to cheat

886
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,240
their way to titles and rob 
Baron Judge of another MVP. 

887
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,960
Like that's bad enough. 
Now we got to sit back, you 

888
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,160
know, my dinner own business, 
getting ready to get into the 

889
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,160
new year. 
You know, hot stove's been 

890
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,000
quiet. 
I got to see a my signs. 

891
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,840
A three-year deal for peanuts 
with opt outs after each year. 

892
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,080
Why couldn't the Yankees or the 
Mets do that? 

893
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,240
Could somebody tell me? 
All we heard was not Yankees 

894
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:15,600
really aren't connected to a my.
Now, after the initial surge of,

895
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,080
we thought that they were. 
And then really for the last 2-3

896
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,840
weeks, there was not a shred of 
evidence that a MY was ever 

897
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,240
coming to the Yankees. 
And if you thought so, you just 

898
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:28,160
weren't paying attention. 
All right #1 #2 there, he was 

899
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,720
never connected to the New York 
Mets either. 

900
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:35,880
When when you do a contract like
that, especially for these two 

901
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:40,280
teams right now, the Yankees 
have some interesting barriers 

902
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,800
in the sense that, all right, 
Cole's not going to be ready, 

903
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,400
he's making big money. 
Roldan's not going to be ready, 

904
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,320
he's making big money. 
Well, that's the exact reason 

905
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,960
why a three-year deal with an 
opt out would have been 

906
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:55,520
fantastic because if am I would 
have been OK with that and if it

907
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,160
was presented to him by the 
Yankees, I would have to think 

908
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,080
he would have been OK with it. 
Well, guess what, if he has a 

909
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:06,920
kick ass year, you know top ten 
Cy Young, you know three. 

910
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,680
I'm going to go on twos. 
Let's let's he's not Yamamoto, 

911
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:16,600
but three-point O 9 ERA and 186 
whiffs and a WHIP barely over 1.

912
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,360
And all the measurables are 
good. 

913
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,800
All the analytics are good and 
it's justifiable to opt out of 

914
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,920
that deal. 
Guess what, he opts out and 

915
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,440
you're not stuck with the money.
But what you do have number one,

916
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,640
you're actually doing something 
right for your star right 

917
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,800
fielder who's getting older by 
the year. 

918
00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:36,040
I mean, can you start doing 
something right for Aaron Judge?

919
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,600
I mean, I was begging on that 
the other show. 

920
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,880
It is it's amazing to me. 
This guy doesn't say a word. 

921
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:46,040
This guy is is is is an amazing 
human being and this guy is by 

922
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,840
far the best player I've ever 
seen in my life. 

923
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,720
And the Yankees are dragging 
their feet not being I don't 

924
00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:54,120
mean spending money. 
Understand the difference not 

925
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:58,160
being incredibly proactive and, 
and like doing things that, I 

926
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,600
don't know, maybe gives Aaron 
Judge a chance to join the likes

927
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,600
of Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra.
I mean, could you do that for 

928
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,920
the guy? 
Because he could have taken $400

929
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:10,600
million and left and got to San 
Francisco and he decided not to.

930
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,240
And this is how you pay him 
back. 

931
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,320
So whatever that that that 
bothers me, right, that does 

932
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:19,080
bother me real quick at beater 
car, a long time fan been 

933
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,960
listening to since 10:50 even 
before the show with Stephen A 

934
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,880
Wow, you are you are an OG. 
You have been around the minute.

935
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,400
Thank you very much. 
That's phenomenal. 

936
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,200
Glad you're doing your own 
thing. 

937
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:31,920
Didn't have a choice. 
I had to get it going. 

938
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,200
I'm thrilled I did. 
You are the epitome of New York 

939
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,920
sports fandom. 
Bless you and your family. 

940
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,720
Thank you. 
I really appreciate that. 

941
00:45:37,720 --> 00:45:40,640
We appreciate that. 
And like in terms of being, you 

942
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,680
know, as you say, the epitome, 
you know, I, I don't know. 

943
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,360
I mean, I'll, I'll let others 
say, you know, what I do well 

944
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,320
and, and what I don't do well. 
But I, I do think the one thing 

945
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,840
that, that most of you have 
always felt that have listened 

946
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,240
to me is that I love what you 
love. 

947
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,560
Like, I might not love the Mets 
if you're a Mets fan. 

948
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,720
I mean, I love the Giants if 
you're a Giant fan, but I just, 

949
00:45:59,720 --> 00:46:02,760
I just love the New York sports 
machine. 

950
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,000
And I think that you can tell 
that it's innately in me and 

951
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,680
it's not bullshit. 
It's not like faking it. 

952
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,320
It's like this stuff, This is 
what I wanted to do. 

953
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,320
I think you guys know that I'm 
not going to get into that whole

954
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,360
thing again. 
Now you know that this is what I

955
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,440
wanted to do. 
So I think that there is. 

956
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,280
I certainly hope and I believe 
that I'm proud of this, that 

957
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,720
there's an element of 
authenticity and there is 

958
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:26,920
certainly transparency. 
And if I make a mistake, I'll 

959
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,760
raise my hand, take the L like 
the Lindor stuff, just hitting 

960
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,480
from one side all those other 
day, other things I've been Zach

961
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,520
Wilson messed up my bed. 
I'll take ownership of it. 

962
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:36,840
I think you guys appreciate 
that. 

963
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,120
I I really do that. 
This one's about Bichette. 

964
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,600
I'll read it. 
I'll get to it after at Brendan 

965
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,320
3297. 
What's up BT our Yanks are 

966
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,560
finally linked to Bo. 
I've only been saying it for 

967
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,760
about a month now. 
Maybe more Bo's three or 

968
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:53,480
younger, three years younger 
than belly. 

969
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,440
Our infield could use the All 
Star caliber bat. 

970
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:56,680
Not to mention that he's a 
righty. 

971
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,280
Absolutely. 
Who knows, maybe Dominguez Jones

972
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,760
pans out in left field this year
also. 

973
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,760
Thank you for that, Brandon. 
I appreciate it. 

974
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,600
I'm going to actually address 
the the the Bichette stuff in a 

975
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,600
minute here. 
But think about this too. 

976
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,600
All right, this really bothers 
me back to the of my stuff. 

977
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,160
If it was like five years or, 
you know, ridiculous money. 

978
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,080
All right, I can see the Yankees
taking a pass. 

979
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,040
I can see the Mets taking a pass
as well, but when you have a 

980
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,920
player who flat out said I don't
want to join the Dodgers, I want

981
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,120
to beat them. 
And you want to talk about 

982
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,560
Central casting one O 1, 
especially from the Yankees 

983
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,600
point of view, you know, because
the Dodgers beat them in the 

984
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,560
World Series and it was a slop 
fest with the errors. 

985
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,640
It was embarrassing. 
Then the Dodgers were talking 

986
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,360
shit about the way the Yankees 
run the bases and the way the 

987
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,760
Yankees play. 
So to me, that would be my 

988
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,960
motivation. 
Like if I was Hal, I would just 

989
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,240
be intensely the moment I wake 
up. 

990
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,680
What can I do today to stick it 
to the Dodgers? 

991
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,240
But that's me now. 
So the the thing about the my 

992
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:55,040
deal, though, is it it would 
have kept everything that 

993
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,160
they're trying to keep in terms 
of the integrity of the payroll.

994
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,720
And I know they've got some 
young pitchers that they really 

995
00:48:00,720 --> 00:48:03,840
like. 
Now, if he had a bad first year 

996
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,520
and he doesn't opt out, all 
right, well, that's the price 

997
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,480
you got to pay for business. 
You're the New York Yankees. 

998
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:09,880
You got the Twins or the 
Pirates. 

999
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,000
Big damn deal. 
You can't absorb it. 

1000
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,160
And Oh, yeah, by the way, 
because he's a Japanese player 

1001
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,320
now, I don't know, but this is a
fairly educated guess. 

1002
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,640
You're going to be able to 
monetize that, you know, 3040% 

1003
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,360
taken right off the if you have 
a Japanese player making $30 

1004
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,560
million a year, what do you 
think you're getting back? 

1005
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,320
And he's doing even even if he's
not doing well, because when he 

1006
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,280
when he first signs, there's 
going to be an infusion of 

1007
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,680
Japanese advertising dollars. 
So if you pay somebody $30 

1008
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,040
million from Japan, and even if 
they're like, say, if they're 

1009
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,920
more like a Rabu than Yamamoto 
or a Rabu more than Matsui or 

1010
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,400
even Tanaka, you're still going 
to make some of the money back. 

1011
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,760
So it's not like even paying $30
million, the merchandising, the 

1012
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,240
globalization of the game, It's 
just, I don't, I don't get it. 

1013
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,200
While they weren't in on this 
one, I just don't. 

1014
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,920
And let's say everybody says, 
well, he's not quite like 

1015
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,360
Yamamoto. 
What, what if he actually is? 

1016
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:07,240
And what if with coal coming 
back healthy, imagine a 

1017
00:49:07,240 --> 00:49:09,320
rotation. 
Now this is fairy tale 'cause 

1018
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,200
he's not, he's not coming. 
But this why it bothered me. 

1019
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,920
Imagine, imagine I'm talking 
about in like June, July, when 

1020
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,280
the rust is off and everybody's 
healthy and now it's full go 

1021
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:26,160
right coal freed Yamamoto. 
Oh, Yamamoto. 

1022
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,240
Oh, my. 
Roldan, Schlittler, Schlittler, 

1023
00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:31,400
Roldan. 
Go. 

1024
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,160
Guess what? 
Oh, Clark Schmidt's coming back 

1025
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,360
from Tommy Johnson in August. 
We're going to put you in the 

1026
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,080
bullpen. 
Will Warren. 

1027
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:38,600
Pretty good rookie year. 
You know what? 

1028
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,000
We'll put you in the bullpen for
a little bit. 

1029
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,440
We're going to get another 
bullpen arm. 

1030
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,480
And oh, yeah. 
By the way, we got Bichette and 

1031
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,680
we did these, you know, these 
other things that we've done. 

1032
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,480
We're now in a position to win a
championship. 

1033
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,480
Yeah. 
I don't know and and like for 

1034
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,840
the Mets, to me, you can make a 
case that's almost more than the

1035
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,520
Mets were never remotely 
connected to him. 

1036
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,600
Almost more appealing from the 
Mets perspective to have been on

1037
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,520
in on on my on this kind of a 
deal because you got McClain, 

1038
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,040
who you know, I love right by 
Mets need pitching. 

1039
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,800
I mean, you know, news at 11 
news flash, breaking news, like 

1040
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:14,320
if like they they need pitching 
in the worst conceivable way. 

1041
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,320
If their pitching staff is 
wretched right now. 

1042
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,480
I mean, the Mets right now are 
not a good roster, right, 

1043
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,280
Although I do like what they did
and I do understand what they 

1044
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:24,880
did. 
I'm talking about right now for 

1045
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,160
2026 Mets going nowhere. 
I think we all know that I could

1046
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:29,040
change. 
But right now. 

1047
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:33,480
So if I'm the Mets, I'm sitting 
there saying, all right, school 

1048
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,520
ball hasn't been dealt yet. 
All right, I'm not giving up 

1049
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,160
McClain for a rental. 
Some of you would I wouldn't 

1050
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:40,960
he's that special. 
I love him right. 

1051
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:48,880
So by signing a my I don't have 
to give up Tong or sprout. 

1052
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:53,240
So when school bull is 
available, I I have those in my 

1053
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,320
like that's still at my 
disposal, That's still in my 

1054
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,280
trade arsenal, not to mention 
Jet Williams and Ben, whatever 

1055
00:50:58,280 --> 00:50:59,680
else they might want to do trade
wise, right. 

1056
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:05,560
So you just you buy you buy a 
potentially really, really good 

1057
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,560
pitcher. 
It's not the five years that 

1058
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,640
Sangha got 3 and it could be one
or it could be two because you 

1059
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,080
can opt out. 
He could after each year. 

1060
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:15,720
So you insert them, you know, in
in the rotation. 

1061
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:17,000
Yeah. 
You want to mess with. 

1062
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,240
Clay Holmes is pretty good. 
He was the one guy who pitched 

1063
00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:21,440
fairly well in Miami that last 
series. 

1064
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,520
I thought he had a pretty good 
year converting from reliever to

1065
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,000
starter. 
And I thought that he would. 

1066
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,160
I like Clay Holmes. 
He's fine, you know, middle back

1067
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,760
of the rotation guy. 
But you could have had like 

1068
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:36,880
McClain and Amai and Peterson 
and whatever and and and Holmes 

1069
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,760
and and obviously Manaya like 
you going to piece something 

1070
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,040
together. 
Not that you can't still do it 

1071
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,760
because you can still get 
Peralta, but to get Peralta you 

1072
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,560
got to give stuff up. 
And I, and that's what I don't 

1073
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,760
get. 
You have the chance to get 

1074
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:53,360
somebody who can be really, 
really good, like the 

1075
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,080
statistical equivalent of a 
pitcher, maybe slightly less 

1076
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:58,520
than Peralta. 
I mean, Peralta is really, 

1077
00:51:58,520 --> 00:51:59,880
really good. 
I'm not going to say he's going 

1078
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:03,640
to be quite like Peralta, but 
80% of Peralta or 75% of 

1079
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,360
Peralta. 
But you just spend the money. 

1080
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:09,480
You're not giving up any draft 
picks or any any, any minor 

1081
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,200
leagues and any prospects. 
So you can still do the school 

1082
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:13,720
bull stuff. 
You can still do something big 

1083
00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:16,520
at the trade deadline. 
I just both of these teams 

1084
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,000
missed the mark and both of 
these teams better find the way 

1085
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:28,320
soon to figure out how to begin 
thinking in a modern way and 

1086
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,840
constructing deals in a modern 
way. 

1087
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,360
Like I still think they're 
thinking the old way. 

1088
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,840
Well, the AAV five years, you 
know, like, come on, man, you 

1089
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,320
got to get with the you got to 
get creative. 

1090
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,120
Teams are beating you to the 
punch. 

1091
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,120
Hey, the Red Sox did it with 
Bregman. 

1092
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,360
They did it. 
They did they did it last year. 

1093
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,520
And it might work out because he
very well might go back there. 

1094
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,240
So I was very disappointed, not 
surprised because I knew it 

1095
00:52:52,240 --> 00:52:54,440
wasn't coming here, but very 
disappointed. 

1096
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,640
It just, I don't know, I thought
it would give the both teams 

1097
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,560
potential top of the rotation 
arm while preserving the the 

1098
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,800
stable of young players. 
To me, it would have made a ton 

1099
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,520
of sense. 
They didn't do it. 

1100
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,760
And I just, I, I really, I, I 
don't understand why. 

1101
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:14,560
I really, really do not let me 
see here at Dan M, there's a lot

1102
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:15,800
of letters and whatever they 
are. 

1103
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,080
So not trying to just omit that 
day. 

1104
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,120
And I don't know what that is. 
Does anybody ever try to listen 

1105
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:25,320
on Spotify? 
For some reason, it it's never 

1106
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,880
live. 
It always uploads the episode 24

1107
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,640
hours later. 
I have a sense whose fault that 

1108
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,280
might be, but I'm not going to 
call around. 

1109
00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:38,640
That could also be a Spotify 
issue, which we're also new to. 

1110
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,720
So we are up on Spotify. 
We will eventually be up on 

1111
00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:45,480
Apple. 
So just the visual of, pardon 

1112
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,240
me, the audio elements are 
there. 

1113
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,360
I don't really know how Spotify 
works in terms of the download 

1114
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,360
and the upload. 
And when we when we do what we 

1115
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:56,000
do on on our end, which we've 
done for the 1st every episode 

1116
00:53:56,240 --> 00:53:58,640
since we did that about not 
every, I shouldn't say that 

1117
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,920
three episodes, I believe we're 
up. 

1118
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,560
So we just started that after a 
few of the first shows, you 

1119
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,920
know, as we try to get out, get 
out of the out of the batter's 

1120
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,800
box here. 
But I don't know if, if Spotify,

1121
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,680
even if we do what we're 
supposed to do and we and we 

1122
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:16,400
did, does it take a full day for
Spotify to, to download that? 

1123
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,560
I don't think that it does. 
I don't think that it should. 

1124
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:24,000
And I again, I I surmise whose 
fault it might be, but we're 

1125
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,120
going to keep that one in the 
family and we're going to 

1126
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:33,200
hopefully rectify that. 
Oh my God, you guys are nuts. 

1127
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:38,480
Let's see here is gay is Gabe. 
I don't know what that what that

1128
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:46,160
means. 
How about you guys really 

1129
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,200
hitting up the Super chats? 
That's absolutely fantastic. 

1130
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,520
Thank you guys. 
My God, I remember how daunting 

1131
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,280
it was when I was trying to 
figure this out and I and I was 

1132
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,720
laughing and you guys who saw 
the first couple of the first 

1133
00:54:55,720 --> 00:54:59,560
show in my basement and my poker
in my poker room, which was it 

1134
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,240
was cool, but the audio wasn't 
great. 

1135
00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:04,720
The Wi-Fi wasn't great. 
I I wanted to get this more my 

1136
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:09,360
office, the my son's like, oh, 
dad, enable this, enable that, 

1137
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:10,880
do this super chance this some 
shit. 

1138
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,440
Like dude, can I please get on 
the air? 

1139
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,840
Can I, I just got to see a green
dot at me. 

1140
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,920
I got to know we're live. 
I got to have a little lighting 

1141
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,200
that I'm capable of turning on, 
which I have the microphone. 

1142
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,360
That's simple because I've used 
it for unkillable for the old 

1143
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:28,000
stuff on Odyssey with The Jets, 
which I now do here Ditto I mean

1144
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,160
come on, let me figure it out, 
but we have figured out oh, 

1145
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,960
while we're doing that. 
So I want to give you guys a 

1146
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,040
little look behind the scenes. 
I just have to find the the 

1147
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,840
picture. 
Pardon me, I'm really really 

1148
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:45,000
excited for this all right, 
that's not it all right, let's 

1149
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:52,200
see hold on guys all right. 
So what we're doing is, and it's

1150
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,720
going to take number one, we 
have to make it. 

1151
00:55:54,720 --> 00:56:01,600
And that I would say is probably
about it's, it's only because 

1152
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,400
one of my good friends runs the 
business. 

1153
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,640
It's probably going to get to go
to take like two or three days. 

1154
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,120
So I'm just finishing up on the 
concepts. 

1155
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:09,720
That's really the only hold up 
here. 

1156
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:14,160
But eventually what we're going 
to do is behind me is going to 

1157
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,280
look like that. 
All right, I put this on social 

1158
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:17,440
media. 
You guys have seen that. 

1159
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,320
That's going to be the backdrop 
and it's going to go from the 

1160
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,000
top of the wall. 
You see the St. 

1161
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,560
John's Biggies Championship, you
see the Emmy up there, Shout out

1162
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,920
to me with the Emmy. 
Kidding, but be above the 

1163
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,080
bookshelves. 
It is going to actually look 

1164
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,640
like that. 
So it's going to look really, 

1165
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,320
really nice and I'm really 
excited about it. 

1166
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,320
Now I've got to find a way. 
Am I going to actually drill it 

1167
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,680
into the top? 
I won't do this, but drill it in

1168
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,560
and be able to pull it down? 
Is it going to be standing with 

1169
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,360
some, you know, some pictures 
that actually supported? 

1170
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,360
I'm not 100% sure yet, but that 
is coming. 

1171
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,320
So I really do like this 
backdrop and many of you have 

1172
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,160
comment by the way, let me know 
what you let me know what you 

1173
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,280
guys think about this. 
If you like this, I'm going to 

1174
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,280
do it anyway, but I am I am 
curious. 

1175
00:56:58,720 --> 00:57:01,160
I mean that that was one that I 
kind of tinkered with a little 

1176
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,120
bit here coming out of the wall,
BT unleashed. 

1177
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:07,280
These are all things that we are
finalizing as we build this out.

1178
00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:11,120
I do like myself. 
There's a part of me that kind 

1179
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:12,040
of likes. 
Let me see. 

1180
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,000
I'll just do this for a second. 
Like you could go up there. 

1181
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,080
Like you can see that was that. 
I told the story, throwing out 

1182
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:18,520
the A, the pitch of the A's 
game. 

1183
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,600
That's an autographed picture 
underneath it from Bob Feller. 

1184
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,760
Obviously the Donnie jersey 
picture, DiMaggio, some other 

1185
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,920
stuff, whatever, some some St. 
John's bobbleheads. 

1186
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,360
Coach Carter, SEC to rest in 
peace, Coach Rick, all that 

1187
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,280
stuff. 
But I do like the 

1188
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,080
personalization and many of you 
have said like, and I actually 

1189
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,400
took a few things down. 
I've got a box in in on the 

1190
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,360
other side of my my Home Office 
where it was almost just too 

1191
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:44,880
busy. 
It was too noisy. 

1192
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,000
I wanted to clean it up a little
bit and I did. 

1193
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,840
And there's still a lot of 
things up there that you can 

1194
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,240
kind of see like that. 
Nick basketball is signed by 

1195
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,240
Clyde Frazier, some other stuff.
And I know that you guys like 

1196
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:57,960
that because I've gotten a lot 
of comments from you where you 

1197
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,000
said, you know, wow. 
As I've gotten as I've kind of 

1198
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,360
watched these pods here and, and
the shows on YouTube and more 

1199
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,480
familiar with the setup, I find 
myself bouncing around the 

1200
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,400
shelves and focusing on certain 
things and wondering what it is 

1201
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:12,360
and where you got it. 
And there's going to be some 

1202
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,960
storytelling too. 
I told you the story about how I

1203
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,480
actually got the Hank Aaron 
baseball, but I didn't get it. 

1204
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,320
My dad got it years ago when he 
was playing softball for the 

1205
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:26,000
police team and they went to 
Ohio and they got rained out and

1206
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,960
he met Hank Aaron at a 
steakhouse that night. 

1207
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,160
You know, a couple of guys for 
the, for the NYPD softball team 

1208
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,760
went there to play, went went 
out to eat and he got the Hank 

1209
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,240
Aaron ball. 
And when I was like 9 or 10, I 

1210
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,560
went down to the basement. 
I went to his trophy case. 

1211
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:43,360
I took it and I was throwing it 
on the on the on the concrete 

1212
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,120
doing short hops like I was 
Bucky Dent or who were probably 

1213
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,120
more like Greg Metals with my 
buddy Tommy. 

1214
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:49,880
And I basically scuffed up the 
baseball. 

1215
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,600
And then all those years later, 
and amazingly, my dad didn't 

1216
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,040
flip out. 
He only got mad at two things, 

1217
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,280
school or disrespect, like 
towards an adult or everything 

1218
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:02,560
else he was pretty cool with. 
And he didn't get mad because 

1219
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,920
he's like, I, you know, I love 
baseball and I was I was 

1220
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:06,680
playing. 
But what I did all those years 

1221
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,120
later, my first radio job in 99,
I had a chance to meet Pete 

1222
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,600
Rose. 
So I got a ball signed by Pete. 

1223
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,840
And I said, I said, hey, dad, I 
said, you know, I know you got 

1224
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,560
the old time home run leader, 
his home run, his ball. 

1225
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:20,560
Now I've got the hit king. 
Here's it. 

1226
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,200
This is for me. 
And ironically, he's got the 

1227
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,960
Pete Rose and a couple of years 
ago, he wound up giving me the 

1228
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,280
Hank Aaron Ball when we moved 
into our new home. 

1229
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:29,880
So those are kind of the 
stories. 

1230
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:31,960
I'll take you behind the scenes 
and share some of that stuff, 

1231
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,840
which I really enjoy. 
The other thing, and I'll give 

1232
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,520
you something on Bo Bichette. 
Read some more stuff, read some 

1233
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,840
more comments. 
Make sure you guys please like 

1234
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,560
subscribe. 
I want to. 

1235
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,280
We're already kind of getting 
towards 12,000. 

1236
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,320
I, I was thinking about going 
higher and I might, but I want 

1237
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,880
to be by at at least I, I think 
this is short changing it quite 

1238
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,280
frankly, but I want to be at 
least by 20,000 subscriptions by

1239
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,240
the end of January. 
We've got a whole month to get 

1240
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:00,480
9000, like we got 11 in five or 
six days. 

1241
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,480
Now the world's going to have to
get out there more. 

1242
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,520
Most people who follow me 
regularly have already 

1243
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:07,880
subscribed. 
So I don't think that it's going

1244
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,640
to be flooding in. 
Yeah, maybe you will. 

1245
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,960
I hope it does. 
But I think 20,000 is a good 

1246
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,440
target for the end of the month.
Hopefully we blow by it. 

1247
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:15,800
But to do that, I'm going to 
need your help. 

1248
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,160
You know that. 
And and that's what we'll do. 

1249
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,240
And what are the other things 
too on this channel? 

1250
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,120
I did it on Instagram a few 
times, like if I would drop my 

1251
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,440
son off usually at football 
practice because I don't I don't

1252
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,200
really watch many of the 
football practices. 

1253
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:29,680
I don't want to be up his 
behind. 

1254
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,560
Let him let him do his thing. 
I don't coach football. 

1255
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,440
Go out there, you know, learn 
how to, you know, take 

1256
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,240
instruction, which he does well 
from other coaches. 

1257
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,480
And you know, just you don't 
need daddy up behind every 

1258
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,920
practice, right. 
So anyway, I might, I might drop

1259
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,760
him off where he goes with his 
buddy, his best friend. 

1260
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,480
And sometimes when I would drop 
him off, I would do a little 

1261
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,560
video right in the parking lot 
in my phone and I would put it 

1262
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,480
on on Instagram. 
And it was always about, you 

1263
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,080
know, I mean, once in awhile, 
like about The Jets or 

1264
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,040
something. 
But it was generally, it's 

1265
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,200
always about something with 
youth, youth sports. 

1266
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,040
And those of you who know me 
know it's a tremendous passion. 

1267
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:05,840
You know, I coach, you know, I 
play Division One, you know, my 

1268
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,760
background and I just love it, 
right. 

1269
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,920
And one of the things that that 
I've always been very mindful of

1270
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,080
because I know when you get into
it, I'm not going to spend a lot

1271
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:14,280
of time on this. 
So if you're not into youth 

1272
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,320
sports here, I'm not going to 
belabor this now. 

1273
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,440
I'm just getting to something 
else that is on the site. 

1274
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,000
All right. 
And then I will do with some 

1275
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,520
good frequency here. 
I want to make it easier for you

1276
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,640
because I know when I was 
playing ball it was a totally 

1277
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:30,880
different world. 
Now, when you are a parent and 

1278
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,800
your son or daughter is just, 
you know, once you get past that

1279
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,520
T-ball stage and it's like, OK, 
my son or daughter, they could 

1280
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:37,800
play a little bit. 
They're pretty good. 

1281
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:39,800
They like the game. 
Where do I go? 

1282
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,160
What am I? 
Am I going to travel? 

1283
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,640
Am I going to club? 
What kind of bat do I need? 

1284
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,240
Is it AU trip? 
Is it USA? 

1285
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,360
Is it a drop 10? 
Is it a drop 11? 

1286
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,760
Is it a drop Bay? 
What's the BB core like? 

1287
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:52,400
I remember getting slammed with 
the stuff. 

1288
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:55,280
I'm like, what? 
And you know, again, it's coming

1289
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:56,920
from somebody who played 
Division One. 

1290
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,880
I had, we had like one bat in 
1st and 2nd grade. 

1291
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,360
I remember like all the, because
my dad was the coach, all the 

1292
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:08,280
coaches got this green military 
sack, which I guarantee was from

1293
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,080
Vietnam somewhere along the way,
guaranteed two or three. 

1294
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,360
They weren't even helmets. 
They were like ear flaps, right?

1295
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,240
And I think, I think the first 
year the bats may have even been

1296
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,440
wooden, you know, And then I got
like, you know, Black Magic 

1297
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,520
Easton, if you know, you know, 
the Easton Green 1, whatever. 

1298
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:29,040
But it was just kind of easier 
to navigate playing youth sports

1299
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,600
back then. 
And, you know, he's 10, my 

1300
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:33,720
daughter's nine. 
I've coached, I've watched 

1301
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,320
enough, you know, I think I know
the game and I think I know the 

1302
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,760
terrain, certainly in New Jersey
and even on the national level a

1303
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:40,520
little bit because we've done 
some national events. 

1304
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,880
I want to make your 
indoctrination into youth sports

1305
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:49,120
as easy and as enjoyable as as 
it could be because it's 

1306
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:50,800
overwhelming. 
And listen, I'm going to get 

1307
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,400
into some, some episodes where 
I'm, I'm going to flat out flat,

1308
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,560
flat out tell you about some of 
the mistakes that I made. 

1309
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,800
I've done a lot of things right?
Live and learn, made a couple of

1310
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,400
mistakes and I'm going to be 
very transparent with that 

1311
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,960
stuff. 
So I did a week, I did a, a 

1312
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:07,520
show, it's probably about 40 
minutes an episode on the 

1313
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:12,840
channel and it's about 
basically, I don't want to give 

1314
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,800
it away, but the do's and don'ts
as you get ready to start the 

1315
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,120
journey, just having your little
1, and I mean like little, this 

1316
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:21,760
is not about all the best club 
team. 

1317
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:27,160
This particular 1 is about your 
daughter or your son is 545. 

1318
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,320
You just starting around, you 
know, messing around in the yard

1319
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:30,920
to just get ready to go to 
T-ball. 

1320
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:34,400
It's really the the earliest 
indoctrination to that. 

1321
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,080
So go check it out if you're 
into it. 

1322
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,360
And by the way, with that stuff,
I'm going to have coaches on, 

1323
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,040
I'm going to have players on. 
That's going to be pretty 

1324
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,120
interview heavy as well. 
I think that's a really 

1325
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:48,680
important aspect of it for sure.
What else we got here? 

1326
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:53,400
I don't. 
OK, Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep, 

1327
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:54,680
Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep, 
Yep. 

1328
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,000
All right, Super chats go yeah, 
go to the front of the line. 

1329
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,240
And guys making no money right 
now. 

1330
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,200
Let's get them live. 
I mean, I just started this 

1331
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,880
thing, you know, Yeah, I'll 
figure all that stuff out 

1332
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,400
another time, but I I just I'm 
sitting here and I'm yesterday 

1333
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:10,920
was very interesting sports day,
right? 

1334
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,800
All the Mendoza stuff. 
Got to watch Dante Moore, Ty 

1335
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:15,680
Simpson. 
You heard what I said about The 

1336
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:19,440
Jets and even the Giants laid it
out there, touched on a my. 

1337
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,160
And now let me wrap it up with 
Bichette. 

1338
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:28,760
All right. 
Now I think that the Yankees 

1339
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:32,160
interest in Bichette is real 
enough. 

1340
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,800
Where there's a chance he's a 
Yankee. 

1341
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,640
I know many of you. 
I'm not going to take the bait. 

1342
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:39,720
I'm not going to be fooled 
there. 

1343
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:41,040
I get it. 
Been burned before. 

1344
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,400
Understood. 
You know, how many times have we

1345
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:47,400
heard Brian Cashman say doing 
got to do due diligence? 

1346
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:51,240
And I think many of you right 
now might be thinking that 

1347
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,440
that's what this is not Yankees 
just kicking the tires put out 

1348
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,880
the presentation that they're 
they're taking a swing so their 

1349
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,040
fans can't turn on them much 
like they hey, we gave Soto a 

1350
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,160
pretty good offer. 
Mets just came in the game a 

1351
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,600
little bit more now. 
Hey, we gave Yamamoto actually 

1352
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,400
the Yamamoto deal was the 
highest AAV Yankees and Mets got

1353
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,240
played in that negotiation. 
He was never coming here. 

1354
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,000
But at least by the Yankees 
doing that and probably knowing 

1355
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,120
that he was always going to go 
to the Dodgers on some level, 

1356
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,520
the Yankees were able to say, 
you know, we tried, we gave the 

1357
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,040
highest AAV just went to the 
Dodgers, whatever. 

1358
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:26,200
I don't necessarily think that 
this is it or this is the same 

1359
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:27,960
thing. 
I think that there's real 

1360
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:31,200
genuine interest from the 
Yankees part to Bouchette, 

1361
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:34,160
because really, it makes too 
much sense for it not to be. 

1362
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:38,400
Guys, if you really think about 
this, what do the Yankees truly 

1363
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:40,840
need #1 they need a righty 
stick. 

1364
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,960
They need and they need a righty
hitter and preferably a righty, 

1365
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:46,760
you know. 
All right, Stanton, what do you 

1366
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:48,200
mean? 
Let's let's get past the usual 

1367
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,960
50 or 60 missed games. 
Stanton comes back, runs into a 

1368
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,560
bunch of bombs, all right, and 
whatever. 

1369
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:54,560
All right, great. 
Can't run, can't feel, can't 

1370
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:55,680
throw. 
When he hits a home run, it's 

1371
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:57,720
awesome. 
I mean, it's he's holding them 

1372
01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,480
back, right? 
I don't mean that kind of righty

1373
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,160
bat. 
I mean the kind of righty bat 

1374
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:04,200
that can flirt with 300, you 
know, and is going to give you 

1375
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:09,840
the at bats that, you know, 
maybe my first second year DJ 

1376
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:13,680
Lemahieu, but even more punch 
like that kind of that kind of 

1377
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,640
presence. 
And you know, I, I he's not a 

1378
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,040
perfect fit at shortstop. 
He can play shortstop a little 

1379
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:22,720
bit this year when Volpe's 
getting healed and Caballero 

1380
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,560
stays in that super, super sub 
kind of a role that will be 

1381
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,320
fantastic. 
But I think it fits the Yankees 

1382
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,400
plan. 
And I I've said this as early 

1383
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,760
and as before as any before 
anybody when McMahon's you can 

1384
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,840
even trade McMahon because he's 
only making 16 over the next 232

1385
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,040
total. 
But you so if you don't want to 

1386
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,600
trade McMahon or, or, or maybe 
if nobody wants to trade for 

1387
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:47,720
McMahon, then what you do is you
have Bichette at shortstop now 

1388
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,920
and then when McMahon's contract
is up, boom, he slides over 

1389
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:55,040
perfectly to third base, right? 
If you could play shortstop, 

1390
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:57,400
even if you were a little 
deficient, which he is, you can 

1391
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,720
handle third base or you could 
have him. 

1392
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:02,920
And then obviously when Lombard 
is ready and that's that's a 

1393
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:04,440
key, that's a key cog in all 
this. 

1394
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:08,440
Like if Lombard's the real deal,
it changes so much for the 

1395
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,040
Yankees. 
If he's not, if he's, if he's 

1396
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:15,600
another in the long line of all 
right, little over height, here 

1397
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:17,560
we go. 
Not really what we thought he'd 

1398
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:20,240
be, which I think he's 
different, but we'll see. 

1399
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:24,920
I've said that before, but not 
as much as I've said with him. 

1400
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:26,640
I do think he's a little 
different. 

1401
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:28,640
We'll see. 
But if he's the real deal, you 

1402
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,960
got Lombard, Lombard at short, 
you got obviously Bouchette at 

1403
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:34,040
third base. 
And then if Volpe can get on 

1404
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,120
base a little bit more, boom, 
you kick him over to second 

1405
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:38,560
base, you trade Jazz. 
And I've said that they're going

1406
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:40,480
to trade jazz, and I believe 
that, and I believe that they 

1407
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,760
will. 
And you could trade Jazz for 

1408
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:47,000
maybe a starting pitcher. 
You could trade Jazz for maybe a

1409
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:51,880
left fielder. 
And a, a relief arm, you know, 

1410
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:55,040
and you could also, there's, 
there's a lot of things Yankees 

1411
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:56,840
can still do. 
You could trade for Kwan. 

1412
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,560
You could give those young guys 
some running left field, whether

1413
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:01,240
it's Jones or Dominguez, see 
what happens. 

1414
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,160
It just really I, I think 
Bichette just changes something 

1415
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:08,320
about the Yankees like 
Bellinger. 

1416
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,680
I want Bellinger back. 
I, I mean, I, I'm, I'm not going

1417
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:12,720
to jump through hoops to get 
Bellinger back. 

1418
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,520
Let's not go nuts here. 
I do think that the Bellinger 

1419
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,479
aura has has been a little 
overstated. 

1420
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:19,960
I mean, come on, tap the brakes 
man. 

1421
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:22,960
He never hitting forty, never 
hitting 35. 

1422
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:25,000
You know you're not going to hit
320. 

1423
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,600
You never going to I don't think
he's going to ever have an OPS 

1424
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,880
in the, you know, mid to highest
900. 

1425
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,880
He's not that guy. 
He's a really good baseball 

1426
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:36,560
player who fits New York, who 
judge wants back, who could play

1427
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,920
basically 3 or 4 different spots
and he's got great value and 

1428
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:41,240
he's going to put the bat on the
ball. 

1429
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:42,760
Pretty good wheels, winning 
player. 

1430
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,319
He fits culture guy. 
I want him back, right? 

1431
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:47,000
And I think many of you do as 
well. 

1432
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:48,840
But he doesn't change the 
Yankees. 

1433
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,200
He just keeps the Yankees where 
they were. 

1434
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:55,600
I think Bichette changes the 
Yankees in a way that will be 

1435
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:59,000
palpable. 
I mean, that guy, he is, he's a 

1436
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:01,960
dog. 
And AO Bellinger's a grinder and

1437
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:03,399
really good, but Bichette's a 
dog. 

1438
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:07,240
Like Bichette's the kind of guy 
that, you know, you run him out 

1439
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:10,279
like in that first or second 
spot, man, oh man, He's just, 

1440
01:09:10,399 --> 01:09:12,920
you know, you can do so many 
things lineup wise. 

1441
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,160
He's he's and I was actually 
spent a fair amount of time 

1442
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:20,359
yesterday on savant looking at 
his his hit chart. 

1443
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:24,240
And now some of you who do this 
love the deep dives know this 

1444
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:25,319
already. 
Some of you who don't. 

1445
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,880
He is very efficient going to 
right field like and by the way,

1446
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,720
you don't flirt with 300 and 
have those kind of years as a 

1447
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:33,880
righty if you can't go the other
way. 

1448
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:36,359
So if you thought the Bichette 
was a Deadpool hitter, like 

1449
01:09:36,359 --> 01:09:39,359
some, some, you know, some 
players, then you just, you 

1450
01:09:39,359 --> 01:09:44,120
knew, like if you if you thought
that, then he wouldn't have the 

1451
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:46,240
hitter profile that he does. 
It's just, it's just not 

1452
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,160
congruent. 
You know, you got to go the 

1453
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,240
other way. 
You got to hit with two strikes.

1454
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:51,920
You got to go foul pole to foul 
pole. 

1455
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,720
And that's one of the reasons 
why Aaron Judge, you know, it's 

1456
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,240
gone from it in 270 to winning 
batting titles because if it's 

1457
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:00,400
outside, he's on the laying off 
of it or he's going to drill it 

1458
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,640
to the right center gap. 
The seats are down the line and 

1459
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:04,360
that's why Judge's average has 
gone up. 

1460
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:08,400
So let me present this to you. 
Is there a world, right? 

1461
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,400
Because I do think that 
Bichette's in play. 

1462
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,440
I do. 
Is there a world where in some 

1463
01:10:13,440 --> 01:10:17,880
order one, I'm going to jot this
down 12345 and I'm just going to

1464
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:22,160
throw the names Bichette. 
Now, this is fairy tale land, 

1465
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,360
but I'm going to do it for a 
minute because this would be a 

1466
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,120
World Series team. 
Got him. 

1467
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:33,040
Obviously you got a little rice.
You got a little stand over 

1468
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:34,280
here. 
Stand whatever. 

1469
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:40,040
I mean, it is not inconceivable 
that the Yankees top three 

1470
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:43,280
hitters, if they actually just 
had the guts to do this could be

1471
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:51,240
Beau Bichette righty, Bellinger 
lefty, Judge righty, Ben Rice 

1472
01:10:51,440 --> 01:10:54,920
lefty and then Stanton plugs in 
five hole, whatever, you know. 

1473
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,640
And then it does so much number 
one, you're not as lefty late 

1474
01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:59,880
and Bichette's just a better 
pure hitter, blah, blah blah. 

1475
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:01,880
All those things I've already 
discussed. 

1476
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,720
But then the other thing that 
you do, and this is like this 

1477
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,480
has to be done. 
I want to see Grisham bat first 

1478
01:11:06,480 --> 01:11:08,240
this year. 
I I just don't want to see him 

1479
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,400
bat first. 
So if you make these moves here,

1480
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:16,480
then you it, it, it puts Grisham
in a place that he really should

1481
01:11:16,480 --> 01:11:18,800
be at. 
You know, put him in the put him

1482
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:20,720
in the seven hold against tough 
lefty. 

1483
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,320
You know, you won't even put him
5 or 6 against against him. 

1484
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:25,160
That's fine. 
Just can't be batting first, 

1485
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,200
second or third. 
It's just that's not how you win

1486
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:30,920
a championship with Trent 
Grisham, who couldn't even bat 

1487
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:34,400
203 of the last five years. 
Whatever it is, he's your lead 

1488
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:37,240
off hitters gonna bat second. 
No, it's taking the cheap way 

1489
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,040
out. 
And you know what's crazy about 

1490
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,000
this? 
Like if the Yankees didn't 

1491
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:46,120
miscalculate, which they did, if
they didn't miscalculate the 

1492
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:49,640
Grisham qualifying offer, then 
what I just presented to you, 

1493
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,360
the Bichette, Bellinger, Judge 
Rice, etcetera, so on and so 

1494
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:58,800
forth, possibility would be much
more plausible because the $22 

1495
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:03,080
million that they're giving 
Grisham, all right, could have 

1496
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:06,000
been spread out. 
And then it's just it, it, it's 

1497
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,120
how they messed that up is 
amazing to me. 

1498
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,360
The levels that they 
miscalculated that. 

1499
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,400
And again, I know what Cashman 
said. 

1500
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:18,000
I you know, I don't know. 
And listen, Aaron Boone's even 

1501
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:21,160
told me when I push back to him 
with Grisham, he's like, dude, 

1502
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,160
you're wrong. 
And and I and I listen, he's the

1503
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:24,160
manager. 
I get it. 

1504
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,520
And it's not just him blindly 
defending a player because we've

1505
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:31,120
had very honest conversations. 
I won't divulge who about 

1506
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,080
certain players where he's like,
yeah, he's just, he's never 

1507
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:34,200
going to be good at this or 
that. 

1508
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:36,680
He straight up says, dude, you 
know, you, you sleeping on 

1509
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:40,240
Grisham. 
And I'm like, dude, he had it's 

1510
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,200
190 every year, you know, except
last year. 

1511
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,400
You know, the one thing that he 
did say, which I think is fair, 

1512
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:49,240
doesn't change my opinion. 
I would have brought him back, 

1513
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:52,880
but his defensive metrics 
absolutely dropped pretty 

1514
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:58,360
sharply a year ago and he had a 
hamstring issue and in center 

1515
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,240
field when you're getting less 
action than first base catcher, 

1516
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,320
shortstop third, you know, you, 
you have a rough month where you

1517
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:06,520
just not getting the balls that 
usually track you got to take a 

1518
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:10,440
little bit of a downturn. 
So I, I do think we've overdone 

1519
01:13:10,440 --> 01:13:11,960
that. 
I'm, I'm with Boone on that 

1520
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,360
where people now say, oh, he's 
falling off the, you know, off 

1521
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:17,200
the planet defensively. 
No, he has not. 

1522
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:21,320
He did have a year that was 
identifiably a little bit 

1523
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,200
different than the previous one 
defensively and the other ones 

1524
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:27,120
where he want to go glove, but 
he can still get it in center 

1525
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:28,000
field. 
That's not my issue. 

1526
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,920
My issue is strikes out a ton, 
can't hit lefties, don't want to

1527
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,440
hit in first or second. 
You know, that's my problem with

1528
01:13:34,440 --> 01:13:38,080
him. 
So but full transparency, boom 

1529
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:41,320
pushes back on that one with me.
He definitely, definitely does. 

1530
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:43,280
What else do I want to let you 
guys know? 

1531
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:47,480
Obviously like and subscribe I 
told you guys about there was 

1532
01:13:47,480 --> 01:13:49,320
another suite that was sold 
yesterday. 

1533
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:52,640
So there's really only a couple 
of BT and South Show tickets to 

1534
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:58,120
liveshowmyconcerts.net coming up
on January 22nd with me and Sal 

1535
01:13:58,120 --> 01:13:59,880
live. 
The aforementioned Aaron Boone 

1536
01:13:59,880 --> 01:14:03,120
going to be a blast. 
Touched on the MI contract, the 

1537
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:06,160
Yankees and the Mets, their 
inability to be creative and 

1538
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,320
just have some forethought. 
Like it's like, it's like this 

1539
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,160
shit sneaks up on them. 
Oh, you know, all these teams 

1540
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:13,960
have started to do these, these 
these these creative contracts. 

1541
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:17,640
Well, how about you, you go to 
school and you actually change 

1542
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:19,280
your ways and you start doing 
it. 

1543
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:22,440
And and that's part of the 
problem with the Yankees. 

1544
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:24,720
I mean, I can't, I can't start 
launching into this because this

1545
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:26,720
will be another hour. 
But what are the things that 

1546
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:30,320
really bothers me about them? 
Not the spending that it's it's 

1547
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:32,360
how they spend, not that they 
don't spend. 

1548
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:36,280
That's obvious. 
But there's just too many voices

1549
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:40,680
in that building that have been 
espousing the same thing for too

1550
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:42,480
long. 
And I know that they brought in 

1551
01:14:42,480 --> 01:14:43,960
Sabian. 
I know that they brought in no 

1552
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:47,480
Mormon IA couple of years ago. 
I mean, do they really let those

1553
01:14:47,480 --> 01:14:49,040
guys eat? 
I I don't, I'm not saying that 

1554
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,520
they mute them that it would 
that was just hirings to pacify 

1555
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:54,480
us and shut us up. 
But the Yankees, and this is a 

1556
01:14:54,480 --> 01:14:56,320
compliment in a lot of ways. 
The Yankees have been incredibly

1557
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:59,840
stable all these years. 
And the Yankees of all the 

1558
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:02,360
because the Knicks have just 
started this of all the teams 

1559
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:04,560
here, they're the one team that 
you know is showing up and you 

1560
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:05,720
have a chance to do something 
with. 

1561
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:07,720
So let's not get a twisted with 
the Yankees. 

1562
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:10,560
They're not what they used to 
be, but they're certainly not 

1563
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:15,120
the way some of you either self 
loathing Yankee fans or Yankee 

1564
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,800
haters position them to be. 
That's just not accurate. 

1565
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:20,240
It's wildly inaccurate to be 
more specific. 

1566
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:24,040
But I think that they're too 
married to their old thoughts, 

1567
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:28,200
their old concepts. 
And you know, I, I think that 

1568
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:31,360
that's one of the reasons why I 
have led the charge for some new

1569
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:35,400
blood in the front office. 
You know, I think again, Brian 

1570
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:38,360
Cashman's a Hall of Famer. 
It's, it's never personal. 

1571
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,200
I like the guy. 
He's he's a Pitbull. 

1572
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:42,560
He's scrappy, he's incredibly 
successful. 

1573
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:46,280
But he's also been approaching 
building a championship team the

1574
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:47,920
same way. 
And it has not worked. 

1575
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,880
And it's not just getting 
sometimes the wrong guys. 

1576
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:54,240
Now you're seeing the new wave 
of these other teams that are 

1577
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:57,560
adjusting with how they do the 
contracts and how they pursue 

1578
01:15:57,560 --> 01:15:59,880
certain players. 
The Yanks aren't doing that and 

1579
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:02,320
and I don't know why. 
And the Mets didn't do it either

1580
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:04,760
with am I and as I outlined 
before, if you missed, you can 

1581
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:06,280
go back and rewind it. 
They're watch it. 

1582
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:09,640
I I thought the Yanks and the 
Mets for him to sign for three 

1583
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:13,840
years, $63,000,000 with opt outs
after one and two and neither 

1584
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:17,240
the Yankees, the Mets to be 
seriously seated at the table is

1585
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:21,440
the height of irresponsibility. 
It is just mind numbingly dumb 

1586
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:24,760
and lacks vision and it's 
anything but proactive. 

1587
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:26,960
So I wish I had a better answer 
for you. 

1588
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:29,440
I don't. 
I don't run the Yankees. 

1589
01:16:29,440 --> 01:16:31,280
I'm not their GM. 
I don't run the Mets. 

1590
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:33,480
I'm not their GM. 
I'm just telling you what 

1591
01:16:33,480 --> 01:16:36,920
bothers me. 
Is there anything that I missed 

1592
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:39,560
here? 
Let's see here. 

1593
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:41,320
This was on. 
It's early. 

1594
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:43,880
That's on. 
Mendoza. 

1595
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:46,840
Yeah. 
JP, girl. 

1596
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:47,280
Dad. 
What up? 

1597
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,120
JP? 
And those who look really great 

1598
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:50,400
against families look great all 
year. 

1599
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:51,240
Good. 
Good reads. 

1600
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:53,200
True. 
Good arm, good mobility. 

1601
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,680
I wasn't impressed with Moore. 
Yeah, I wouldn't let the Dante 

1602
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:57,880
Moore game anyway. 
Again, he was OK. 

1603
01:16:57,880 --> 01:16:59,480
He had one good half, one bad 
half. 

1604
01:16:59,960 --> 01:17:02,880
Now he's young, he's 20, hasn't 
played nearly as much football 

1605
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:07,200
as Mendoza has. 
So I would not give up on Dante 

1606
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,040
Moore. 
I don't want The Jets to draft 

1607
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:13,160
him at three if he comes out and
and Mendoza's gone because I I 

1608
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:14,440
need a little bit more of a sure
thing. 

1609
01:17:14,440 --> 01:17:17,040
And to me, there's no doubt 
Mendoza is the sure thing. 

1610
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:20,760
Now I'm not saying he comes in 
and he's Josh Allen right away. 

1611
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:25,800
I could promise you from a 
decision making perspective, he 

1612
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:29,600
is absolutely the guy. 
The processing, the 

1613
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,360
identification, no doubt at 
Nick. 

1614
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:37,400
LFGM rooting on those Metsies. 
I don't know what's up Nick. 

1615
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,640
I don't understand how anybody 
that has seen Dorp play a full 

1616
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:41,840
game could say they should take 
Mendoza. 

1617
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:44,600
He hasn't taken a single snap. 
One of the most annoying takes 

1618
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:47,640
going around as of recently. 
All right, Nick, I get that. 

1619
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:49,320
I appreciate the pushback. 
I really do. 

1620
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:52,200
Now, I prefaced everything that 
I said about Jackson Dort. 

1621
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:54,800
I love the kid. 
But when there's somebody else 

1622
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:59,040
that you see that you might have
access to that you love more and

1623
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:03,840
is bigger and stronger and less 
athletic, but not it's not like 

1624
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,360
Eli versus Michael Vick 
disparity. 

1625
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,120
I mean, Mendoza is a good 
athlete, ran A-47, change, 

1626
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:10,120
whatever. 
It is pretty good for a 

1627
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:11,960
quarterback, man, that's pretty 
good. 

1628
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,560
I think Eli ran a 449 and old 
miss and those 2/10 of a second 

1629
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:17,200
that matters. 
Escape ability, getting out of 

1630
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,240
the pocket, stepping up, making 
a play. 

1631
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:21,600
Like it doesn't seem like 494 
sevens a lot. 

1632
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:25,200
Trust me. 
It is like if you want a 7 O in,

1633
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:28,520
if you know you're going 60 yard
dash for baseball, say you run a

1634
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:32,720
7 O, you run a six 679. 
I mean, that is probably that is

1635
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:34,880
the dead is all the world unless
you're a first baseman or a 

1636
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:38,120
catcher, maybe even a third 
baseman, like those two, those 

1637
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,400
2/10 of a tick. 
It matters, dude. 

1638
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:45,320
And when you're big and he's 63 
and he's 240, he's two 25226 now

1639
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,120
and he's going to put on that 
weight and like easily and 

1640
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:52,640
naturally and won't prevent him 
from being the maintaining that 

1641
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,280
athleticism. 
I don't there's nothing else I 

1642
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,080
need to see. 
I just think he and I again, I 

1643
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:00,240
love dart. 
I I just think that Mendoza 

1644
01:19:00,480 --> 01:19:03,800
processes better. 
I think he is physical. 

1645
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:05,680
I know he's physically bigger 
and stronger. 

1646
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:08,920
And, you know, I don't get it. 
You haven't heard me get on dart

1647
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:12,640
too much about playing 
recklessly because, you know, 

1648
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:14,520
you got to let a wild dog eat 
sometimes. 

1649
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:15,920
He's got to go out to the 
schoolyard. 

1650
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:17,480
He's got to figure out what's 
out there. 

1651
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:20,600
And eventually, you know, 
another Pitbull is going to 

1652
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,040
who's a little tougher is going 
to get him and he's going to 

1653
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,480
say, all right, maybe I maybe I 
shouldn't do this anymore. 

1654
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:29,240
Like to think that Jackson darts
not going to learn that he's got

1655
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:31,560
to slide and get out of bounds a
little bit more. 

1656
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:33,400
I think that that's just 
irresponsible. 

1657
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:34,920
I think that that's unfair to to
dark. 

1658
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:37,080
He's going to learn that and 
he's going to do that. 

1659
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:41,000
Even with that being said, the 
things that Mendoza is better at

1660
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,760
or the things that win you that 
keep the drives going. 

1661
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:47,120
You know that third and three 
tiny window perfect read 

1662
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:49,280
immediate dissection. 
It's Mendoza. 

1663
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,080
That's the guy that I want. 
I want him for The Jets and if 

1664
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:55,320
the giants were to have access 
to him I would take him and I'm 

1665
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:57,560
not into the hot takes. 
I have no time for that. 

1666
01:19:57,560 --> 01:19:59,960
It's a waste of time. 
I can't stand hot takes. 

1667
01:19:59,960 --> 01:20:01,760
I really now. 
It's one thing to have a dumb 

1668
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:03,160
take. 
I'll have plenty of those. 

1669
01:20:03,480 --> 01:20:06,400
It's one thing to have an 
erroneous tape be proven wrong. 

1670
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:09,240
I've already have and I will 
continue to have plenty of 

1671
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:10,720
those. 
I'm not a hot take guy. 

1672
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,200
I actually loathe the hot take 
machine. 

1673
01:20:13,440 --> 01:20:16,560
It is lazy, it is juvenile, and 
it is just something I'm not 

1674
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,800
interested in doing. 
All right, so this is not a hot 

1675
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,640
take. 
This has been well thought out. 

1676
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:22,320
Go. 
And if you don't, I know this 

1677
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:26,960
sounds corny, Go check my ex. 
Go back months, months ago when 

1678
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:30,480
everybody's now jumping in. 
Oh, giant should take Mendoza. 

1679
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,920
Look what I said months ago 
about Mendoza months ago, not 

1680
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:38,120
weeks, months. 
So this has been a well crafted,

1681
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:42,520
well calculated well, I've 
explored, you know, route that 

1682
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:44,360
I've taken to to formulate my 
opinion. 

1683
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:47,360
Doesn't mean I'll be right, but 
that's absolutely my opinion. 

1684
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,200
Let's see subdivisions. 
What's going on. 

1685
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:52,840
BT Happy New Year, Chris, your 
Evans friend, I think. 

1686
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:55,760
Oh yeah, All right. 
I know this guy, the Twitter 

1687
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,400
stats guy. 
Yes, I remember going to I think

1688
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:02,320
you told this Evan hit like 112 
whatever it was O 87 in Twitter 

1689
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:04,200
baseball. 
I think it's pitching stats for 

1690
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,960
OK hope 26 brings you and the 
family happiness helping the 

1691
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:08,920
best of luck. 
Love the new podcast. 

1692
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:12,640
Great job sometime come on my 
show. 

1693
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,160
Thank you man I I appreciate 
that Chris. 

1694
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:18,120
Thank you very much. 
Yeah, I I think that I 

1695
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:20,120
definitely remember you because 
you called me and Sal and you 

1696
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:21,800
gave us the numbers and we were 
having fun with that. 

1697
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,720
I don't know if you're the same 
guy that Evan references from 

1698
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:28,400
time to time, like talking 
sports at the bus stop. 

1699
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:30,760
If you are, well, then I 
definitely know you. 

1700
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:33,040
And even if you're not, I know 
you from when you called us at 

1701
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:34,440
the fan and and all the Twitter 
stuff. 

1702
01:21:34,440 --> 01:21:35,720
That was funny. 
Oh, my God. 

1703
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:39,920
I mean, yeah, we've all seen the
video of of Evan running down 

1704
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:42,560
the line. 
He's hey, give him credit, man. 

1705
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:43,560
He's out there. 
He's playing. 

1706
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:47,960
He is at Samuel Lamb. 
D2 S love listening to you, BT 

1707
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:49,840
keep being you doing what you 
doing. 

1708
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:53,360
Yeah, thank you. 
And the day that the day that 

1709
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,000
I'm no longer me is the day that
honestly, I stopped doing this 

1710
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,440
really, you know, I, I, I think 
that it's, I think that it's 

1711
01:21:59,440 --> 01:22:01,640
very easy. 
I think it's hard to do a good 

1712
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:03,640
show. 
I think it's hard to, to pump 

1713
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:08,080
out meaningful, interesting, 
thought provoking content. 

1714
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,400
And that's like, that's my 
challenge to, to that. 

1715
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:13,440
And that's one of the biggest 
challenges of anybody in the 

1716
01:22:13,440 --> 01:22:16,360
business. 
It's not hard for me to be me 

1717
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:19,960
because I pretty much what you 
see here is it's kind of who I 

1718
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:21,520
am. 
And again, yeah, there's a 

1719
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:23,760
heightened presentation. 
I know I'm doing a show. 

1720
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:26,600
You know, you're a performer. 
I mean, literally you're 

1721
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:29,000
performing. 
So yeah, like, I'm, I'm not 

1722
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,440
walking around the house, you 
know? 

1723
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,600
You know, You know, even though 
I do talk with my hands a lot, I

1724
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:38,080
can't help it and I won't 
apologize for it, but I, I, I 

1725
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:44,880
get, I get on this show and just
me and I I think that that's one

1726
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,480
of the reasons why it's it's 
worked for my career so far. 

1727
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,040
And that's one of the reasons 
why I know it's going to work on

1728
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:52,960
YouTube, because this is a world
with no boundaries. 

1729
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:56,120
I mean, you know, and you know, 
unless you guys know I have love

1730
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:58,040
for the fan, I've always I'll 
never say otherwise. 

1731
01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:00,960
I loved it there. 
It was unfortunate the way it 

1732
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:02,960
ended, but it's all good and we 
have certainly moved on, as you 

1733
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:05,440
can tell, and and I'll still do 
some shows with the fan. 

1734
01:23:05,440 --> 01:23:08,000
I love Chris and Hurley. 
I've known forever a lot of 

1735
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,240
respect for those people. 
I don't ever wanted to get 

1736
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:13,320
twisted, right, But I've moved 
on because they moved on, right,

1737
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:17,880
in terms of the full time role. 
But the thing about this is 

1738
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:20,320
that, you know, I, when I was on
the fan, like if you're at a 

1739
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:22,800
certain part like of Connecticut
or yeah, I know the apps are 

1740
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:25,440
amazing and all that stuff and 
the Odyssey app really is good. 

1741
01:23:25,440 --> 01:23:28,760
You can get us anywhere. 
But there's certain places where

1742
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:30,640
even if you're driving to 
Manhattan, some of the radio 

1743
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:34,160
stations don't sound as crisp 
here to be able to do this, you 

1744
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:37,240
know, and then eventually build 
out the studio and add some 

1745
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,240
elements like guest and like 
holders. 

1746
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:42,400
Like, I mean, this is this is, 
this is a dream job. 

1747
01:23:42,480 --> 01:23:43,520
Yeah. 
I just got to make it work 

1748
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:44,760
monetarily. 
And that's what we're doing. 

1749
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:48,080
We're grinding, man. 
There is no, oh, wow, this is 

1750
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:49,720
easy, man. 
I haven't made a freaking penny 

1751
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:51,320
yet. 
I mean, I guess today with, 

1752
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:52,960
with, with the Super chats and 
that stuff. 

1753
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:57,240
But literally before today it 
said 0.00 in terms of 

1754
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,120
monetization, because until 
today, I wasn't monetized. 

1755
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,600
So it is all in. 
And this is this. 

1756
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,360
It is my mission. 
As I said many times, it's not a

1757
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,080
hope, it's not a focus, it's not
a belief. 

1758
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:11,960
It is a mission. 
It is a mission to make this 

1759
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,480
amazing and we're going to and 
we're going to do it together. 

1760
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:17,800
I firmly believe that with 
everything that I have. 

1761
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:22,400
How about Tim, Tim Thomas, you 
know Fugazi, are you Timmy? 

1762
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:25,160
Tim Thomas 8544? 
If you get the reference, you 

1763
01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:27,920
get the reference. 
If The Jets don't get Mendoza, 

1764
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:29,640
what are your thoughts on 
getting a quarterback via free 

1765
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,600
agency or trade and use the 
draft capital to build around 

1766
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:34,680
the quarterback? 
Yep, I kind of hinted at that 

1767
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:35,800
before. 
Absolutely. 

1768
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:40,800
Now, unless The Jets, I don't 
want them to do this, but if 

1769
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:45,080
they fall in love with more and 
more is coming out and they want

1770
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:47,600
to take him to three, all right,
I'd give it a shot. 

1771
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,480
Not what I would do right now. 
Still early in the evaluation 

1772
01:24:50,480 --> 01:24:52,080
process. 
He's got a big game next week 

1773
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,680
against Indiana. 
The combine, the interviews, all

1774
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:57,320
the stuff that they'll go 
through, the daily dissection 

1775
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:00,360
and the hit pieces on all the 
prospects and the way it works, 

1776
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:03,520
it's so unfair to these kids. 
You've got other GMs like a 

1777
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:07,160
character assassinations, hoping
that teams will get scared off 

1778
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:09,800
and somebody will drop. 
Like imagine being that 

1779
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:13,040
reprehensible of an individual 
where somebody was worked their 

1780
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:18,080
entire life running hills, 
lifting quarterback coaches, you

1781
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:23,640
know, grinding 7891215 high 
school at college, and you've 

1782
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,800
got the audacity to plant the 
story that's not even true 

1783
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:29,600
because you want it to work 
favorably for you on draft day. 

1784
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:32,800
Where's your scruples? 
You have none the sad part is it

1785
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,720
happens all the time. 
But no, I would be very OK with 

1786
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:39,640
that and obviously fields is 
gone find the stop gap and then 

1787
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,320
attack it in 2027. 
Yes, yes, yes, yes, no doubt 

1788
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:47,640
about it all that that wasn't 
you OK subdivision. 

1789
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:50,440
All right, so all right. 
You were oh, you were the 

1790
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:54,400
evident the Isles game when 
Yeah, when he puked it. 

1791
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:58,680
Oh my God, yes. 
And by the way, Evan's an I got 

1792
01:25:58,680 --> 01:25:59,720
love for Evan. 
I like Evan. 

1793
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:02,920
I got my fat my fat butt on the 
Backpage of the paper. 

1794
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:05,840
You did WF fans. 
Not the same without you and Sal

1795
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:08,600
Kudos. 
Listen, I I you know, that's up 

1796
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:10,680
for you guys to determine and 
interpret. 

1797
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:14,280
I appreciate you saying that. 
I've I've, I've always thought 

1798
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:17,560
in my mind that BT and Sal was 
the kind of show that ex like 

1799
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:20,920
the exact kind of show that 
should be on WFAN. 

1800
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:24,360
But WF fans going to be great WF
NS going to be fine. 

1801
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:27,560
I'm doing my thing and they are 
going to be fine because they're

1802
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:29,760
WFN, the number one sports 
station in the country. 

1803
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,000
What else we got here? 
What else here? 

1804
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:34,560
You know, why don't we start 
how, how long have been going 

1805
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:36,520
here? 
An hour and a half pretty much 

1806
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:39,640
what we do well over 4000 live 
viewers. 

1807
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:43,480
So I wonder how many of you are 
watching on X Obviously look at 

1808
01:26:43,480 --> 01:26:47,080
the analytics after how many of 
you are watching on on YouTube. 

1809
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:49,800
We are something else. 
We got to figure out which we're

1810
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:51,640
almost there. 
We're going to link this to 

1811
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:55,240
Instagram as well. 
I, I honestly don't know if I 

1812
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:58,160
get on TikTok. 
I say that now I've always like 

1813
01:26:58,360 --> 01:26:59,720
you know, I got to get on 
TikTok. 

1814
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:03,880
I just, I don't know, to me, 
like TikTok comes across as and 

1815
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:07,720
I, I really do speak from a lack
of like knowledge on this. 

1816
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:10,480
This is my perception. 
I've never been on it, right? 

1817
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,440
Some of the shows in the past 
that I've been on there was 

1818
01:27:13,440 --> 01:27:16,280
like, you know, hey, kind of 
let's get the TikTok. 

1819
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:19,880
I didn't, I never had an 
account, maybe a couple of 

1820
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:23,000
contributions, maybe a producer 
uploaded something and never my 

1821
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:24,880
thing. 
When I think it's, and maybe 

1822
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,000
this is an erroneous read on my 
part, but when I think of 

1823
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:33,000
TikTok, I just think of just 
like stupid infantile stuff that

1824
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:35,600
I just don't really have any 
time or desire to jump into. 

1825
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:38,560
But I mean, if it's going to 
help grow the show and I know 

1826
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:41,800
that it's incredibly viable in 
that regard, maybe I'm going to 

1827
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:43,440
have to reconsider that. 
But I know we're going to 

1828
01:27:43,440 --> 01:27:47,920
definitely do Instagram and, and
obviously integrate callers, 

1829
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:52,640
integrate guests and, and I'm 
really looking forward to doing 

1830
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:54,880
that. 
So it is a it is a new year. 

1831
01:27:55,000 --> 01:28:00,400
It is a new day is a new chapter
for me and I am so excited and 

1832
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,960
I'm so locked in and I am on a 
mission. 

1833
01:28:03,440 --> 01:28:06,320
You guys know, you know, the 
more you like, the more you 

1834
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:09,280
subscribe, the more you comment,
the more we get, you know, 

1835
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:11,680
thrown around that algorithm, 
which obviously is very 

1836
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:14,960
important to get this show going
and make it bigger and bigger 

1837
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:16,680
and bigger and bigger and 
bigger. 

1838
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:19,000
And you know, I, I should 
probably tell you guys, it's 

1839
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:23,920
like I, I'm not doing this 
wasting time waiting for the 

1840
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:28,280
phone to ring just to jump Mike.
And and then I see you this this

1841
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:33,480
is what I'm doing and it's 
awesome in terms of having fun 

1842
01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:37,240
and just the new world has been 
been pretty good to us so far. 

1843
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:40,120
So I'm excited here. 
All right, any other let's let's

1844
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:43,360
get one of these here. 
All right, this one is a Dan Dan

1845
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:45,480
Heiston. 
What do we got 2742? 

1846
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:48,400
I appreciate that. 
Now that's a super chat, right? 

1847
01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:51,760
What maybe my producer could 
just just type on the screen. 

1848
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,240
What is the difference between a
super chat? 

1849
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:57,480
I look like such an idiot 
asking, but I think that's part 

1850
01:28:57,480 --> 01:28:59,880
of the appeal of this, right? 
What's the difference between a 

1851
01:28:59,880 --> 01:29:03,320
super chat and a super sticker? 
I know the chat you could read. 

1852
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:05,360
Hey, it's great still being able
to listen to you BT looking 

1853
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:07,720
forward to hearing from you for 
a long time. 

1854
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:10,000
Happy new year. 
No doubt about it, Dan, happy 

1855
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:12,800
new year to you as well and your
entire family. 

1856
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,160
I I do. 
I'm sure it's a very simple 

1857
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:16,840
answer. 
If we by the way, even if one of

1858
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:19,680
you know what the answer is, 
what the differentiation is 

1859
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:22,920
between a super Chad and a super
sticker. 

1860
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:24,920
I think the quicker I figure 
that out the better off we'll 

1861
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:25,480
all be. 
All right. 

1862
01:29:25,480 --> 01:29:28,200
What is it Friday? 
We got one more that popping in.

1863
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:31,120
I want to show you guys love 
here, BT happy new year. 

1864
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:36,480
This one's from Brooklyn Blaze 
son is that I know that handle 

1865
01:29:36,480 --> 01:29:39,120
from somewhere Happy New Year to
you and the family going to kill

1866
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:43,120
it in 2026 and beyond WF fans 
lost and YouTube gates. 

1867
01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:45,320
Oh, I know who that I got you. 
Thank you very much brother 

1868
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:47,480
appreciate that. 
I definitely got you no doubt. 

1869
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:50,640
What else did I want to tell you
there told you about the couple 

1870
01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:53,800
of tickets left for the BT and 
live show BT and Sal live show 

1871
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:56,600
like subscribe told you about 
the youth content. 

1872
01:29:56,800 --> 01:30:00,720
You don't want to check that out
if you and I did it now and, and

1873
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:03,480
it aired yesterday, I did it at 
this point of the season and end

1874
01:30:03,480 --> 01:30:07,480
of the calendar year because I 
know as many of you, you know, 

1875
01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:11,000
Santa brought a lot of stuff, 
you know, a lot of baseball 

1876
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,760
equipment. 
And there is definitely there's 

1877
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:15,520
no guarantee he's going to be 
Aaron Judge. 

1878
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:18,440
And I think if you try to make 
your child Aaron Judge, probably

1879
01:30:18,440 --> 01:30:21,280
the wrong thing to do. 
But I, I do think that there's a

1880
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:26,680
path to go on that that I went 
through and did a lot of things 

1881
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:29,680
right, did a couple of things 
wrong that I really think that 

1882
01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:32,640
you can learn about. 
You know, and I look at this 

1883
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:36,200
channel, especially the youth 
content stuff, but I look at 

1884
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:38,360
this channel because there's 
going to be days where there's 

1885
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,440
issues, not that I'm going to 
shove politics down your throat,

1886
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:44,400
but there's going to be deeper 
issues than than sports that I'm

1887
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:47,840
very qualified and very excited 
to talk about. 

1888
01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:50,960
Now the difference is I'm going 
to be open minded and I'm not 

1889
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:54,000
going to shut down some people 
like other people do like it, 

1890
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:57,280
which I think is the height of 
of stupidity. 

1891
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:02,360
Like if you're a sports person 
and you are so outwardly against

1892
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:05,920
one side, think about how dumb a
business decision that is. 

1893
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:08,520
Even if you disagree, you got to
show respect. 

1894
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:10,680
You got to welcome that. 
You've got to invite that 

1895
01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:13,520
conversation when it's 
applicable, not shut out of mean

1896
01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:15,560
every day. 
Nobody wants to hear that, but 

1897
01:31:15,560 --> 01:31:18,680
the appeal of this channel is 
the ability to do that because 

1898
01:31:18,680 --> 01:31:21,920
as many of you might not know, I
literally watch the news every 

1899
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:24,400
single night and I watch 
multiple networks to get both 

1900
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:28,320
sides like I, I am in tune with 
this world because this world 

1901
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:31,160
has a lot of problems. 
And it's, you know, I don't, I 

1902
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:33,520
don't know what I could do, but 
I'm going to, I'm going to die 

1903
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:35,480
trying. 
Make sure this world's better 

1904
01:31:35,480 --> 01:31:38,080
for our kids because some of the
things that's happening now in 

1905
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:41,720
this world, I mean, it's, it's 
dangerous stuff. 

1906
01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:44,280
All right. 
And I, I, I talked to was a guy 

1907
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:47,480
who's been on the air for 20 
something years doing shows and 

1908
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:50,720
guy who's loud and passionate 
and love sports and know sports 

1909
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:52,760
and maybe a guy you want to have
a beer with somebody think is 

1910
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:54,320
cool. 
Hopefully all those things are 

1911
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:56,160
true. 
But I and A lot of I would have 

1912
01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:59,280
come to you as a dad and 
certainly as a human and and 

1913
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:02,360
that's where I really think it's
certainly where I hope that this

1914
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:06,360
channel is going to hit a level 
that is different than it's 

1915
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:08,520
certainly any anything that I've
done before. 

1916
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:10,240
Stanford down. 
What's up? 

1917
01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:14,720
Stanford, Arkansas checking in 
one of the 51 of the one of the 

1918
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:18,640
43 states that I have been to. 
So what's going on Listening 

1919
01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:21,800
from Arkansas huge Mets fan 
shows have been awesome hashtag 

1920
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:23,680
let's go Mets. 
Thank you very much. 

1921
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:26,800
Yeah, it's funny. 
I'll, I'll post some some polls 

1922
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:29,480
too of other you as you go 
through the YouTube page, right.

1923
01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:32,800
And one of the posts I dropped 
just to kind of get a sense of 

1924
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:34,480
where we are and maybe get away 
from sports. 

1925
01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:35,840
As I said before, once in a 
while. 

1926
01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:39,400
I ask you how many, how many of 
the 50 states have you been to? 

1927
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:43,960
And I'm at 43 now. 
Haven't been to Alaska. 

1928
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,560
And I almost went to Alaska with
St. 

1929
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:49,680
John's man, the great Alaskan 
shootout years ago. 

1930
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:52,600
I think Jarvis was still the 
coach and I couldn't swing and I

1931
01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:55,400
had I had obviously radio 
responsibilities, TV 

1932
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:58,720
responsibilities and I just 
couldn't go been to Hawaii, but 

1933
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:01,720
like Alaska, somewhere where I 
want to go like halibut fishing,

1934
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:04,640
salmon fishing, some sort of 
like you, you go to Alaska, you 

1935
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:07,640
got to do an expedition and and 
that's that's what I've got to 

1936
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:08,760
scratch up. 
That's going to be tough. 

1937
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:12,160
But yeah, I've been to Arkansas.
I appreciate you really reaching

1938
01:33:12,160 --> 01:33:14,760
out. 
That's great at scooter 

1939
01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:17,400
Adventures, Florida, BT 
Unstoppable. 

1940
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:20,440
I'm a streamer from Florida. 
Couple of things I would like to

1941
01:33:20,440 --> 01:33:23,400
share to you about You Tube 
streaming. 

1942
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:27,360
You should accept the PayPal as 
well scooter, like I said one 

1943
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:31,320
one one thing at a time brother.
I do not pretend to think that I

1944
01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:35,240
have figured out this YouTube 
game yet I have not like I don't

1945
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:38,080
I don't even know I think I know
the answer, but I'm not even 

1946
01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:39,880
sure because I've never done it 
when I end the live stream, 

1947
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:42,760
which I'm going to do in a in a 
minute or so, I don't know if I 

1948
01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:45,560
go to my analytics page, am I 
going to am I going to actually 

1949
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:47,040
see the money from the Super 
chats? 

1950
01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:48,960
I don't know, I I don't know how
it works. 

1951
01:33:49,440 --> 01:33:51,720
Hopefully my wife was able to 
link up the bank account 

1952
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:53,600
properly. 
I mean, does it take a day? 

1953
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:54,960
Does it take a week? 
I don't know. 

1954
01:33:55,320 --> 01:34:01,960
Old new stuff. 
Vincent M4TA BT Best friends 

1955
01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:04,400
with Sal. 
Best friends with Sal. 

1956
01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:07,680
Here you go Vin. 
I've known Sal since 7:00. 

1957
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:11,800
I loved your show and it was the
most authentic show since Mike 

1958
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:13,600
and the Mad Dog. 
Keep it going. 

1959
01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:16,960
Number one, you deserve a prize 
for being friends with Sal for 

1960
01:34:17,440 --> 01:34:19,000
40 years. 
I'm kidding bad. 

1961
01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:21,160
You guys know I love Sal. 
I got a lot of love for Sal. 

1962
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:26,360
And you know, I remember it got 
hijacked one time. 

1963
01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:27,920
I don't know how, I don't know 
by whom. 

1964
01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:32,600
I don't even care. 
But I was making we were talking

1965
01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:35,120
about our show when a caller had
said, you know, you. 

1966
01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:38,840
And by the way, not not just one
caller, a lot of people said you

1967
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:42,240
guys and written, you know, you 
have a sound that was like most 

1968
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:45,720
like Mike and Chris. 
It was a sound that was like 

1969
01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:49,120
that, that old schoolish WFAN 
that a lot of you love that 

1970
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:54,320
stuff that made it WFAN, you 
know, and it was never like a 

1971
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:57,080
comparison, like, you know, 
where Mike and Chris, I mean, 

1972
01:34:57,720 --> 01:35:01,000
Mike and Chris are legends. 
I'm starting to show on YouTube 

1973
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:02,200
here. 
I I I get it. 

1974
01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:04,320
Like there's the hierarchy, 
there's the industry. 

1975
01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:08,240
Let let legends and the mikes 
and the Chris's and the I misses

1976
01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:11,280
and you know, the WFA and 
legends who are on their little 

1977
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:15,040
schmooze, Little Joe B little 
Boomer, like different different

1978
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:17,400
spots, different, different 
people for sure. 

1979
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:20,040
Mark churn off. 
Of course, I'll throw Dove on 

1980
01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:21,720
there from behind the scenes. 
My guy Dove. 

1981
01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:24,800
Shout out to him as as he steps 
into a different stage of of his

1982
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:26,840
career as well. 
He's finished up at the fan. 

1983
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:30,200
He was there since 87 day one, 
1987. 

1984
01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:31,640
So a real shout out to Dove. 
I love him. 

1985
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:35,720
He's a good man. 
And it was never about like, Oh 

1986
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:37,440
yeah, you know, wait, wait, 
wait, wait. 

1987
01:35:37,440 --> 01:35:40,080
We didn't have 10% of the 
popularity of Mike and Chris, 

1988
01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:43,080
but it was never about that. 
It was about the the 

1989
01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:47,360
unpredictability that I think 
that our show had and and that's

1990
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:49,560
something that I am really proud
of. 

1991
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:51,920
Like there's no doubt the show 
had juice. 

1992
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:54,280
Like there was never going to be
a situation ever. 

1993
01:35:54,440 --> 01:35:56,920
And I'm not saying every show 
was an A+ because every show if 

1994
01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,920
we tried to make it that, but 
that's just not the reality of 

1995
01:35:59,920 --> 01:36:02,000
of entertainment and and content
producing. 

1996
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:04,880
There's going to be some shows 
that are AB minus and we're like

1997
01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:06,880
that. 
Will that that last hour was OK,

1998
01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:09,800
let's go. 
The gold is an A+ doesn't always

1999
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:13,400
happen right, But there was not 
once where we mailed in the 

2000
01:36:13,400 --> 01:36:14,880
show. 
There was not once. 

2001
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:16,560
We just just got on the air. 
We were like, you know, let's 

2002
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:19,200
just fuck around today and let's
just, we have nothing to do. 

2003
01:36:19,480 --> 01:36:21,440
You know, let's just take a 
couple of calls and let's just, 

2004
01:36:21,440 --> 01:36:24,600
you know, talk about whatever. 
You know, if anything, sometimes

2005
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:28,040
we maybe we dug in too deep and 
went too hard and just created 

2006
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:30,560
something that was almost, you 
know, too combustible. 

2007
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:32,800
And maybe we shouldn't have done
that for that topic. 

2008
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:33,800
I don't know. 
I don't even know if that 

2009
01:36:33,800 --> 01:36:35,640
applies. 
But I would much rather be 

2010
01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:40,960
guilty of that than just coming 
in and mailing through and, and 

2011
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:43,600
just, you know, gliding through 
a show. 

2012
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:47,800
And I, and I think really, and I
know not everybody was a fan of 

2013
01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:48,560
the show. 
I get that. 

2014
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:51,400
I'm not delusional, understood. 
But I think those of you who 

2015
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:55,520
really love BT and Sal 
appreciated that energy and that

2016
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:58,520
juice and that like that we 
looked at as if we had a 

2017
01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:00,280
responsibility. 
You know what I mean? 

2018
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:02,640
When you get a piece of real 
estate at that station, 

2019
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:05,840
especially two guys who grew up 
and always aspire to be there 

2020
01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:09,400
and be on the air there, you get
a microphone and you don't bring

2021
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:11,680
it everyday. 
Shame on you, shame on you. 

2022
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:15,640
So you know we couldn't control 
everything, but what we could 

2023
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:19,040
control we absolutely control 
and we're about very proud of 

2024
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:20,760
it. 
You know all right, let me get 

2025
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:24,160
rolling here guys, do me a favor
get this out to everybody. 

2026
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:26,360
If you're on X appreciate you 
guys watching there. 

2027
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:29,880
I have 4500 eyeballs on this. 
Not not bad, not bad. 

2028
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:33,080
I want to get you eventually 
more and more and more and more 

2029
01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:36,080
the gold would love to get and 
this is the objective and I I 

2030
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:39,440
believe that we will at least 
20,000 subscriptions by the end 

2031
01:37:39,440 --> 01:37:43,200
of the month. 
We're at 11 almost, I don't 

2032
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:47,240
know, almost 12 now, whatever it
is after 567 show, something 

2033
01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:48,920
like that. 
Just rolled it out and we rolled

2034
01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:51,480
it out during the holidays. 
So many of you are away. 

2035
01:37:51,480 --> 01:37:55,600
So don't assume we're just not 
kind of in touch with your usual

2036
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:58,400
listening or watching habits. 
Hey, if you got a buddy who 

2037
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:01,840
loved, you know what I do on the
fan or love my work or you know,

2038
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:03,760
and they're away and they just 
got back and they don't know 

2039
01:38:03,760 --> 01:38:06,240
about this new endeavour, tell 
them, let them know, share it, 

2040
01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:08,800
you know, get that out there. 
And we're going to obviously get

2041
01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:10,320
this streamed up on on Instagram
as well. 

2042
01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:14,800
As I said, Yep, I get it. 
Hey, Tommy Sullivan 2726. 

2043
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:16,680
Yep, love the show. 
Thank you very much, Tommy. 

2044
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:19,360
Listen everyday, let's hope the 
Yanks wake up and do something 

2045
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:21,600
soon. 
I've touched on that extensively

2046
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:23,480
today. 
I've touched on that before. 

2047
01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:28,280
And while I am this close to 
unleashing and unloading on the 

2048
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:32,000
New York Yankees, if they don't 
do anything else the rest of the

2049
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:35,080
winter, I'm not going to do it. 
And I'm not going to be that guy

2050
01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:38,440
just to be that guy because 
there's still moves to be made 

2051
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:41,440
and I think they'll make at 
least one of that could set 

2052
01:38:41,440 --> 01:38:45,200
themselves up to be still 
really, really viable. 90 

2053
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:48,680
something wins, puncher's 
chance, make a mid season trade,

2054
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:50,920
whatever that now that that 
shouldn't be the goal. 

2055
01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:54,560
Admittedly, it should be to 
obliterate everybody and win the

2056
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:57,000
World Series like it used to be 
the stated goal. 

2057
01:38:57,240 --> 01:39:00,680
But I mean, we have to adjust 
off of their adjustments, right?

2058
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:03,640
So again, just to yell at 
something that has not fully 

2059
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:05,960
come to fruition yet, I'm not 
going to do that. 

2060
01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:10,080
It is a Friday. 
No shows over the weekend unless

2061
01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:12,160
there's breaking news. 
I might wait. 

2062
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:14,520
Do I even have? 
I might, you know, I might hop 

2063
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:17,400
on Friday after The Jets game, 
Sunday after The Jets game. 

2064
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:21,080
I might, might do that. 
Obviously, if somebody signs 

2065
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:23,680
Yankees, you know, Bellings or 
Bichette make a trade, whatever.

2066
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:27,440
Same with the Mets firing, big 
injury, Joe Shane gone, whatever

2067
01:39:27,440 --> 01:39:31,120
it is when I'm not in my 
conventional time slot, which is

2068
01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:34,520
10:00 AM almost every single day
here on the YouTube, on the 

2069
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:37,600
YouTube channel on X and 
everything, I will just pop in 

2070
01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:39,320
and I'll let you know. 
I'll tweet it out. 

2071
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:40,720
I'll let everybody know. 
I'll give you an alert. 

2072
01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:42,480
We're going live. 
And that's one of the great 

2073
01:39:42,480 --> 01:39:46,080
functionalities of being able to
do this, to be able to connect 

2074
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:47,280
whenever I've got something to 
say. 

2075
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:49,600
So I want you guys to have an 
awesome weekend. 

2076
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:53,400
Thank you for making the roll 
out of the show rewarding, 

2077
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:56,240
helping me kind of grind through
some of the glitches, 

2078
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:59,200
understanding that there's going
to to be some glitches. 

2079
01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:02,520
It is what it is Every day we 
get a little further past that. 

2080
01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:05,280
So hopefully had a great new 
year celebration. 

2081
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:07,880
Can't wait for Monday. 
We'll put a wrap on The Jets and

2082
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:09,120
the Giants. 
We'll see if the Yanks and the 

2083
01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:11,720
Mets do anything. 
Johnny's tomorrow I'll be at the

2084
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:13,560
Garden 12 noon tip against 
province. 

2085
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:15,600
They look pretty good pretty 
good against Georgetown. 

2086
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:18,840
They did and I like the way they
look the 1st 13 or 14 minutes. 

2087
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:22,680
But Zubi was more assertive. 
Zubi was looking for his which 

2088
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:27,200
was part of the problem early on
and and guys deferring a bit 

2089
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:29,480
They they don't look the. 
The way I thought they would, 

2090
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:33,560
but for a good chunk of that 
Georgetown game, after a sloppy 

2091
01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:35,600
start, they started to show some
signs. 

2092
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:38,320
So I would imagine they'll 
handle Providence fairly easy. 

2093
01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:41,040
Tomorrow I'll see you at the 
Garden and I will catch you on 

2094
01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:44,280
Monday right here, BT Unleashed.
Unless something breaks, then 

2095
01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:46,120
I'll catch you when I catch you 
guys. 

2096
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:48,320
Have a great Friday. 
Have an awesome weekend. 

2097
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:49,680
Really appreciate you guys. 
Thank you.
