I mean, dude, can you at least 5 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,960 pretend that you're awake, that you at least care a little bit 6 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,680 about? It's only like, you know, guys 7 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,680 that you might drafted #2 wow, we'll get to that. 8 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,760 Combines on fire. Sonny Styles is flying up the 9 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,000 board there, which makes it very interesting for everybody 10 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,400 picking in the, I don't know, 2 through 5 or 6 or seven spot. 11 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,600 Anyway, got a lot to do. I want to get to LeBron. 12 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,320 Something I saw yesterday. It's a no rules Friday. 13 00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:07,840 So what we doing a no rules Friday? 14 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,360 Obviously what I'm doing the show. 15 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,160 Yeah, I want to stay on on topic. 16 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,120 I want to stay on point. No rules Friday basically is 17 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,880 your opportunity and J Rod knows this. 18 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,240 He's got the license to do it. When when there's a comment, 19 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,200 just pop it up, even if it's a little bit off topic. 20 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,280 I'm going to bounce around a lot. 21 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,040 We got a lot to do today. But before we do that, so I told 22 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,880 you the other day that two point OBT and Sal live is officially 23 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,360 locked in and it is April 2nd. You guys wanted us to hit Long 24 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,480 Island. We're coming out east here we go 25 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,000 Long Island strong BT and South 2O the live show, the first one 26 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,680 was in New Jersey. Aaron Boone grow through was 27 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,680 phenomenal. Sold out. 28 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,760 This one is a great venue with OK he's, which I know really 29 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,920 well. I spent a lot of time with OK 30 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,280 he's when I was younger and I know Mike's done a bunch of 31 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,160 shows out there in the past with WFAN. 32 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:01,720 So we have, and I also told you that there was a guest that we 33 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,800 were trying to secure. We have gotten that guest. 34 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,840 And I also told you that when I tell you who it is, it's going 35 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,800 to blow your mind. I'm not going to tell you today 36 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,560 with Sal is on vacation somewhere in the Caribbean. 37 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,720 So he's going to come on my show like I was on his show last 38 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,040 week. He's going to come on the show 39 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,120 either Monday or Tuesday, depends upon when he gets back, 40 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,720 you know, from the beach and from his family vacation. 41 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,600 And we'll announce it together. You are going to love it. 42 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,600 This place is going to be absolutely dripping with energy 43 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,880 and fun. The start of the Yanks of the 44 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,640 Mets season. Speaking of the Mets I put up 45 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,240 it's some other content yesterday dropped yesterday my 46 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,240 old time post 1980s Mets lineup that's up there as well, much 47 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,480 like the Yankees is up there. So if you guys want to dig into 48 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,000 that go get it have a little fun and also and and Jay Ron let me 49 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,280 pop you in for a SEC. I never thought that I would do 50 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,960 this. I really I can't believe I did 51 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,800 it what's up brother? I can't believe that I did this. 52 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,720 I I vehemently protested this. So like they would even say 53 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,440 WFAM. Hey, you guys really got you 54 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,880 guys should really get on TikTok now I'm good like I'm not 55 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,160 getting on Tik. That's not happening. 56 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,560 I'm not doing it. I'm not gonna have it. 57 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,680 I have no interest and in my mind TikTok was always like dumb 58 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,200 videos that I have no interest, you know, watching at this age 59 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,240 and content that is not interesting to me. 60 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,920 I did a little more research that I think it's a great tool 61 00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:25,120 for the show obviously unleashed some great content. 62 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,080 There's some other stuff as well. 63 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,840 So anyway, Long story short, I I opened up a tick tock account. 64 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,360 I forgot though I I don't know Jay, I don't know have you seen 65 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,640 it yet? I don't know if it's under BT 66 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,520 Unleashed or if it's under Brandon Tyranny. 67 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,600 I honestly forgot what I did. I'll try to pull it up now and 68 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,120 then. We cannot let the people know. 69 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,440 But you know, great idea starting the TikTok. 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,640 I mean apparently like my brother was showing his friends 71 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,120 the channel the other week and the first thing they said was 72 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,040 got to get on TikTok. I know, I know, you know, I like 73 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,200 to be an independent thinker. I don't like to subscribe to 74 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,600 groupthink, but there are certain things that just make 75 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,280 sense in terms of additional traction for the show and doing 76 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,800 what we are in the process. So doing we'll hit 17,000 Subs 77 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,800 by the end of the weekend and you know that's that's the 78 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,800 number that I'm proud of. That's that's all because you 79 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,240 guys out there supporting the product, supporting me 80 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,640 supporting you know what me and J Rod are doing here. 81 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,800 So that's great. And then obviously, what, when 82 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,280 we get to 20 GS, which we will by the start of the baseball 83 00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:24,240 season, I've got to come up with something fun. 84 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,720 I, I do think at that point something else. 85 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,640 I know I'm hitting you with a lot of, you know, non content 86 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,040 stuff, but I wanted to catch up on a few Hey to no rules Friday. 87 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,840 I'm doing what I want. The I always do what I want 88 00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:38,080 anyway. But the digital store should be 89 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,160 operational, should be up and running by certainly the BT and 90 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,720 South show on April 2nd. Certainly it's, it's our hope, 91 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,800 but it's our, it's our belief that it will be ready for the 92 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,400 start of the baseball season, a Major League season in late 93 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,360 March. So I would think that they'll be 94 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,520 some Unleashed merch over at Mulcahy's. 95 00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:58,480 And then obviously just to finish the thought, once we get 96 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:04,320 to 20,000 Subs, you know, maybe whomever is actually #20,000, 97 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,360 you know, you get hooked up with a free BT Unleashed hoodie or 98 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,160 mug or maybe a little bit of everything. 99 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,120 So it's going to be a great store. 100 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,240 Different, you know, different colors, different stuff and and 101 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,280 away we go. So all right, let's jump into 102 00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:19,200 the show, man. It is a no rules Friday. 103 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,520 I'll get to the I'll get to the Glen stuff. 104 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,200 I'll get to something on Nolan McClain, something on Giancarlo 105 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,920 Stanton bouncing around a little bit today. 106 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,960 Let's start by bouncing here. All right, now, I, I remember 107 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,400 attacking this, I don't know how long ago it was, but there was 108 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,840 rumblings. And it's not new. 109 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,800 There's been rumblings for a while. 110 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,320 Maybe LeBron James will be interested in joining the 111 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,480 Knicks. And then yesterday, I'm sure you 112 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,320 guys saw this, it got a little bit more traction. 113 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,080 Listen, I always only speak for myself. 114 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,600 So maybe you guys are going to vehemently disagree with what 115 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,680 I'm about to say. And while I'm going to still 116 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,800 speak for myself, I do still feel pretty good loosely 117 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,360 speaking, for the real Knick fans, you know, not those of you 118 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,920 who are oh wow, LeBron at the Garden. 119 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,520 That would be amazing. Oh wow, what a way to captivate 120 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,840 A and and culminate a great career. 121 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,040 I want no part of LeBron James of the Knicks. 122 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,360 Let me be very clear about that. I'm not interested. 123 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,920 Matter of fact, I'll take this step further. 124 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,320 Not only am I not interested, I vehemently oppose it. 125 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,520 Don't want them don't care not interested. 126 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,120 Now I actually think that he's going to wind up with the 127 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,040 Cavaliers. I've always thought that it 128 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,760 would be and and it would be pretty cool from from a just a 129 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,600 basketball storyline point of view. 130 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,120 Go back where you started, go back home, you won the 131 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,960 championship there. You know, that's a team that is 132 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,200 is getting better and better. They got some young bigs, 133 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,160 obviously got Mitchell. They moved on from Garland. 134 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,840 You got Harden. I don't know if LeBron wants to 135 00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:44,800 play with Harden. I don't know that, but it makes 136 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,880 a lot of sense where LeBron and I do think to be fair to LeBron, 137 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,320 it's not that I don't want him with the Knicks because I think 138 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,400 he'd be a ball hog or unable to, you know, acclimate to the 139 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,600 whatever culture the Knicks have or whatever they try to do from 140 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,120 an offensive perspective or defensive perspective. 141 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,280 It's not that it's more personal, quite frankly, just, 142 00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:08,680 you know, just to cut the nut. You know, I am, I am not very 143 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,200 petty in life. Like I don't hold on to grudges. 144 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,720 I really don't. I mean, unless it just crosses a 145 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,800 line that is just irreconcilable, like we can't 146 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,800 fix it. We can't, you know, and, and 147 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,160 thank God, I really haven't had that happen much in my life. 148 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,800 And hopefully that continues. You know, I believe you try to 149 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,760 do right by people that generally people try to do right 150 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,640 by you. Trollers aside, haters aside, 151 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,480 whatever that means nothing in my world. 152 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,920 I really don't care. But like you, it, it takes a lot 153 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,880 for me, either in the sporting sense or just on a more 154 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,480 important human level, day-to-day interaction for me to 155 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,800 write you off, right? That's, that's not how I'm 156 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,000 built. That's not what I'm about. 157 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,160 That's not what I believe. That's not what I espouse to my 158 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,080 kids. You know, keep an open heart, 159 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,680 keep an open mind. I'm not trying to get preachy, 160 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,480 but I want to set this up the right way because I don't want 161 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,880 this to come across as, you know, just blind LeBron hate or 162 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,960 oh, BT can't stand LeBron. You know where I stand on the, 163 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,080 on the GOAT conversation? He's not one. 164 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,760 That's Jordan. He's not even #2 for me, that's 165 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,520 obviously Kareem Abdul Jabbar who gets grossly overlooked and 166 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,600 glossed over for some stupid reason, probably because he 167 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,400 played a long time ago. Whatever, he wasn't a dunker, he 168 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,360 wasn't like fancy and, you know, didn't really jump off the page 169 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,680 like maybe a Kobe who was a killer or even an AI for some of 170 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,680 you guys or Shaq as a you know, as as a big with flair and you 171 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,680 know, and and I don't even think he's as good as magical bird. 172 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,400 That's not really the point. This is not about do I think 173 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,520 that he can make the Knicks better? 174 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,440 I I do, but what I don't want to have happen, right? 175 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,480 And this is going to sound so counterintuitive to what we 176 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,680 think about as sports fans, because if you think about every 177 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:49,400 conversation that we have, really it's all rooted in 178 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,600 getting to a championship destination. 179 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,240 Like you set the sporting GPS. And, you know, whether it's me 180 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,520 touching on Nolan McLean in a bit or me touching on Jean 181 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,640 Carlos Stantons, you know, flare up with the with the elbow, I 182 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,760 mean, God with the elbows again. And the quote, yes, they can't 183 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,560 open a bag of chips or a bottle of water. 184 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,320 All right, good luck. I mean, let's go in the World 185 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,920 Series with that guy. But every conversation is really 186 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:18,880 rooted in the ultimate belief or hope or destination of getting 187 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,640 to a championship. So. 188 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,480 And I do think that LeBron would make them a better team because 189 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,400 he's a great passer and I think he'd probably fit in pretty 190 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,120 well. But what I don't want to have to 191 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,680 do, and this is where I admittedly get very petty, I 192 00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:35,160 don't want to have to be beholden to LeBron James for the 193 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,680 rest of my life. Like, if he comes because the 194 00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:39,440 Knicks are not winning a championship this year, you know 195 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,400 how I feel about that. And I think it's going to be a 196 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,560 premature exit. I think that that's going to 197 00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:49,680 lead to massive, colossal offseason changes. 198 00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:51,680 I think there's a good chance Mike Brown's gone. 199 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,840 I think there's a good chance that, you know, a really good 200 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,760 chance they make a serious push for Giannis when they can 201 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,480 recruit more teams and do more things during the summer, blah, 202 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,960 blah, blah. All things we've hit. 203 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,640 But LeBron James, where all of his basketball genius and 204 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,800 greatness had a chance, right? To come to the Garden when we 205 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,640 were at our lowest point and nobody had the balls to do it. 206 00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:17,640 Except the Maurice Stoudemire, who obviously is nowhere near as 207 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,280 good as LeBron. But I've always got respect for 208 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,320 him. A matter of fact, I've got his 209 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,600 jersey hanging in the man cave downstairs, you know, with 210 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,640 Mattingly and with Namath and with Ewing and with some Bobby 211 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,400 Jones, some others golf stuff. And it's not up there because 212 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,080 he's on that same tier in terms of being my favorite player or 213 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,880 being a great, great local player. 214 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,680 For me, it's because he had the gumption to take a swing at 215 00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:43,960 something that basically nobody else wanted, a part of nobody. 216 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,880 The Knicks were toxic, and I understand that. 217 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,320 Dolan was a mess. The roster was a mess. 218 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,520 It was a constant recycling of coaches and GM's and players and 219 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,640 messaging. It was, I mean, the Knicks were 220 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,600 a fucking disaster, as we know, and he didn't want a part of it 221 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,200 and, and I don't begrudge him for that. 222 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,240 But now I don't want you. I don't want you now I don't 223 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,120 want you waltzing in and looking at Madison's with the greatness 224 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,480 of Madison Square Garden, the building itself, the character 225 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,240 and the great ghosts and the great batters that hang in the 226 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,080 rafters there from all the Knicks and all the Rangers to 227 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,920 Billy Joel to Lou Cordaseka. I think Fish is up there for 228 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,160 some. I'm not a fish guy at all. 229 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,840 I remember one time I was dating this girl and she was a big 230 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,160 fish. Fish. 231 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,040 Uh oh, that's not good. No, a female fish fan. 232 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,600 Uh Oh yeah. I just not watch out. 233 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,920 Yeah, no, it didn't last very long by by design there. 234 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,920 But and I remember she actually made a fish tape for us a 235 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,200 million years ago. For you. 236 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,640 Yeah, for me, I never listened to it once. 237 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,240 Like, I don't know, not not not to get off track too much here, 238 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,280 but are you, first of all, you're a big musical guy. 239 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,800 Are you a fish fan at all? I had, listen, I had like my 240 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,960 week. You did like 18. 241 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,920 Yeah. I mean, so my roommate was into 242 00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:02,040 it at the time. He showed it to me. 243 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,720 But then I grew up. All right, well, to me, you 244 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,160 know, fish is is is kind of like Grateful Dead, although 9 layers 245 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,040 below Grateful Dead. I love grateful. 246 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,840 Dead. Well, yeah, Listen, there's a 247 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,080 couple of the songs that I like, the mainstream ones that are 248 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,640 phenomenal, incredible, incredible music. 249 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,080 Legacy, obviously, but you know, it's it's you know, it's the 250 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,840 Stoner, it's the, you know, the lazy, I don't know, the Jesus 251 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,880 sandals, the just sloppy. It's just not me, man. 252 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,760 But and not to disparage you, if that's that, that's your thing. 253 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,840 I got you. So anyway, I checked out a fish 254 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,000 immediately and fish is up there in the rafter somewhere, I 255 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,400 believe. But the point is the garden is 256 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,800 rarefied space. The garden is a even though 257 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,360 there's not many championships there, as we know, the garden is 258 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,440 a is a palace and a collection of everything that is good and 259 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,560 powerful about sport. And I don't need somebody who's 260 00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:00,080 on his last legs going to mid court or right before the game 261 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,920 starts and throw the powder in the air. 262 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,560 Look at me, the self glorification. 263 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,920 I'm not interested. I don't want LeBron. 264 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,280 I'm not I'm not even open. Now you guys can hit me with the 265 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,240 text and I'll start reading some. 266 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,160 Keep that up there, Jake. You can obviously try to 267 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,000 convince me. You can. 268 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,080 You can present your argument or your your rationale. 269 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,400 I'll respect it. I'll just disagree. 270 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,680 There is nothing that anybody in the world could say that will 271 00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:29,200 change my opinion on one thing, LeBron James to come to the 272 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,080 next. I'm not. 273 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,720 I'm not even remotely remotely open and I'm a pretty open 274 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,440 minded guy. Not even remotely open minded 275 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,320 enough to entertain or entice myself with the notion of that 276 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,280 happening. To the point, and this goes back 277 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,560 to what I said before about the counterintuitive nature, like 278 00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:49,960 every conversations about trying to get to a championship, even 279 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,720 if you told me that. And and there was a contract in 280 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,560 front of me right now, right on my old Steve Summers type legal 281 00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:59,200 pad, which is to my right with all my notes, right old school 282 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,480 in that regard. And it said LeBron James will 283 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,200 come to the Knicks and the Knicks will win a championship 284 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,760 and all you have to do is sign it. 285 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,760 I would not sign it. I I would rather go down, I 286 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,160 don't want to say with class, because Lebrons a class he got. 287 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,200 It's not personal in that regard because he's been in the the 288 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,000 guys been in the spotlight for 20 something years. 289 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,040 He's never had one misstep really. 290 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,560 You know, he's a great player. He's a great family person, At 291 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,960 least it appears from the outside looking in, it looks 292 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,760 like he's an incredibly present dad. 293 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,960 Look, and I I that stuff matters to me. 294 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,160 I don't want him now. And it just goes back to the 295 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,880 simple thought and and and you know, me not forgetting me not 296 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,640 being so desperate where when I was desperate and LeBron could 297 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,000 have helped and save us and elevate us at the height at the 298 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,360 apex of his superpowers, LeBron snubbed, snubbed his nose at us. 299 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,080 I don't forget that stuff. So not interested. 300 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,920 You might be interested. I am not all right inside the 301 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:56,640 MLB. What's going? 302 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,160 But I appreciate that. Let's get the text rolling here 303 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,280 on a no rules Friday. BT what's up? 304 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,880 This is just is this just a New York show or will you be talking 305 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,240 more macro specifically when baseball returns? 306 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,480 Great question. I'm actually really happy that 307 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,520 you asked that. It is a it is an 308 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,080 all-encompassing show that's obviously going to be rooted in 309 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,680 local stories. But you know, like, I'm not 310 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,880 going to get on the air and I'm trying to give you a good 311 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:28,440 example here, like a week into the baseball season and ignore 312 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,280 Otani or ignore some of the good stories that that. 313 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,640 I mean, I, I love baseball, so I'm going to include a lot. 314 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,320 Football's obvious going to be as macro and as national as it 315 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,080 could be. Same with college football. 316 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,040 College hoops will slant a little more towards St. 317 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,120 John's, obviously. But when we get to the big 318 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,760 dance, that'll change. I think, you know, any big 319 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,360 transformative trade in the NBA or any of the other sports, it 320 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,760 will always be front and center. So I mean, you, you can, you can 321 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,960 kind of describe it however you want, But you know, big picture, 322 00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:02,840 as we build this out and get more and more and eventually, 323 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,360 you know, I've had sound on as a guest, but start rolling in the 324 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,160 guest and start talking about some different things and and 325 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,560 expanding the parameters of the content. 326 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,800 I don't think that'll sound solely like a or as much of a 327 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,200 local show as it sounds now. So hopefully that answered the 328 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,660 question there. There you go at slay. under 329 00:16:19,660 --> 00:16:21,120 score, kids, slay. What's going on? 330 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,200 LeBron can't win with Luca. How's it going to be with 331 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,880 Brunson? All right, Was the hashtag, Was 332 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,480 the King no longer? He's got a surrender, That 333 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,520 crown, I would imagine. Right. 334 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,360 So, well, I mean #1 let's see how the season plays out. 335 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,040 And again, I don't think the Lakers going to win anything 336 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,480 this year. But yeah, I'm that Luke is also 337 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,440 a horrid defender. He's a chucker. 338 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,800 They don't have enough around those guys to win a 339 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,960 championship. The Western Conference is very 340 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,040 good. They're they're young, they're 341 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,680 they're good teams are very young and very well coached. 342 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,240 So I think that's a little unfair. 343 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,080 I did win with AD, you know, now that was in the bubble and you 344 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,400 want to say, OK, it's a little bit of a different pursuit of a 345 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,680 championship. Sure, unique circumstances, 346 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:04,839 sure, but it's still a championship. 347 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:06,119 But I'm not going to take it away. 348 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,079 Like, I, I think it's probably more fair to say that if he and 349 00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:13,319 Luca play together for, you know, they had a good 3-4 year 350 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,720 runway where it didn't happen, then you can make that 351 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,599 definitive claim that all right, it it didn't work out. 352 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,280 Like, you know, I'll just bring it back to the Knicks for a 353 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,319 second here. Like if they don't win this year 354 00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:27,200 and you know, I don't think that they will and they decide to run 355 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,720 it back next year, which they won't with maybe just an 356 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,640 ancillary 7th man or sniper off the bench, whatever. 357 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,880 But if everybody's back, you got Brunson, you got Cat, you got 358 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,960 OG, you got Bridges, you got Deuce back healthy. 359 00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:41,760 Yeah. You find a way to keep Alvarado. 360 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,000 I don't know. I'm missing one or two guys. 361 00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:47,320 Josh Hart, obviously, and and they run it back, you know, for 362 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,000 a year or two. Well, then you can clearly say 363 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,520 this group's not good enough to win. 364 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,760 I don't think it's good enough to win because I've seen enough 365 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,920 evidence to the to the contrary, you know, whether it's defense 366 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,760 or whether it's coaching and coaching with with Mike Brown, 367 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,240 but also coaching with Tom Thibodeau. 368 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,440 I I need to be fair to all the participants involved. 369 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:10,080 I'm going to need a little bit more than a year or two to, to 370 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,840 make that that definitive claim there, whether it's LeBron or 371 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,120 somebody else. But I have seen enough of the 372 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:17,320 Knicks. I'm, I'm, I'm rooting, I'm 373 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,960 hoping, but their holes to me are fatal. 374 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,360 So that's how I feel about that. Let me get James 555K. 375 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:26,440 Jimmy, what's going on? No rules Friday on a leash. 376 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,040 I, I think the people will say they hate LeBron on the Knicks 377 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,720 now, but if it actually happens and you see him in the Garden, 378 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,320 it would be a different story. It would inject a lot of juice 379 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,120 to the team. I don't need an injection of 380 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:40,920 juice. I I don't, I'm because there's 381 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,520 plenty juice around the Knicks. The Gardens, always the Garden 382 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,600 was sold out when you had Eddie Curry and Quentin Richardson and 383 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,800 a broken down Stevie Francis and a nutty Mulberry on the team. 384 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,080 And can I just say one thing to this? 385 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,840 I don't have this written down. I didn't plan about this. 386 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,840 Just popped in my head. And I hesitate to say it, but I 387 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,240 think it needs to be said. And it's not even really 388 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,120 pertinent to today. But if you watch the Knicks, 389 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:09,040 you've seen this more and more. Now, one thing that I think 390 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,000 Steve Cohen's done a great, I think Steve Cohen's done a lot 391 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000 of good things, But one thing that I think is phenomenal is 392 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,120 that he's found the way to connect to the Mets past, right? 393 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,360 So they had the old Timers Day and they got the retired numbers 394 00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:23,520 up there and they connect to the heart of the fan base of the 395 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,280 franchise, which was a very smart move because there was a 396 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,520 disconnect there. The Will Ponds Dodger fans, we 397 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,160 know the story right now. In recent years, the Knicks have 398 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,920 done that as well. Now you always saw, I shouldn't 399 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,120 say always, but you know, you would see Patrick there here, 400 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,360 you know, once in a while Bernard King once in a while. 401 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,120 BK is my all time favorite Nick. You know, Pat's there as well, 402 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:48,480 but I love Bernard. He's my first favorite Nick. 403 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,360 So Bernard's there. But now you know, you start to 404 00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:56,400 see during some of these big games like you see like 10/12/15 405 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,720 former Knicks and, and again, I know that this is going to sound 406 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,800 harsh and just me, but I, and I don't mean it that way, but I, I 407 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,440 do mean what I'm about to say. Why are all these guys who did 408 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,640 nothing for the team there front and center? 409 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,840 Like, I don't know, Marbury was a great player and I watched him 410 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,400 at Lincoln. Matter of fact, the kid that I 411 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,600 played with and against CYO basketball back in the day, 412 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,200 obviously back in the when the dinosaurs were roaming the 413 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,400 earth, my former teammate and somebody I played against was 414 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,320 Stephon Marbury's backup at Lincoln. 415 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,600 I mean, that's so I really followed that team. 416 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,840 And plus Marbury was amazing at Georgia Tech, Timberwolves, 417 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,240 Phoenix Suns, even with the Nets. 418 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,120 But I mean, when I think Stephon Marbury and the Knicks, all I 419 00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:43,680 think of is bad stuff. There's not one good moment. 420 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,960 There's not one good continuous sequence where I'm like, yeah, 421 00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:49,120 Steph is a nick. I don't want to see Steph 422 00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:51,440 Mulberry there as a Nick. I don't I don't need to see it. 423 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,680 You know, you see these guys yuck in it up. 424 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,760 I mean, by the way, half the time they look like they're out 425 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,600 of their minds, which is which is fun. 426 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,800 I'm not knocking him for that. But if you're going to include 427 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,080 the Knick family, can we at least up the ante a little bit 428 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,160 and and bring in some royalty, you know, keep it limited to 429 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,280 Patrick? You know, let me see Derek 430 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,440 Harper there once, you know, we got to resolve the situation 431 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,960 with Charles Oakley, which at some point, hopefully, we will. 432 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,840 I got no problem with Amore there because Amore was, you 433 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,560 know, as I said before, he came to try to save the Knicks. 434 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,200 And I respect that. And he played hard and his first 435 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,040 year was great, was a baller and his body betrayed him. 436 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,280 Whatever, but some of these other and I know he does some of 437 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,360 the games and and I know he was a good shooter. 438 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,720 I don't need to see Steve Novak there. 439 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,600 I just don't. I don't know. 440 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,120 It just diminishes. I don't know. 441 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,920 I know that that probably sounds whatever, but yeah, it's like, I 442 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,440 don't know. Imagine like if the if the 443 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,680 Yankees were awful forever, like the Knicks were right. 444 00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:54,560 And I I know it's you're watching the game. 445 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,480 You're not courtside. You know, yeah, you can sit on 446 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,600 the right behind the Yankee dugout, but it's not that is 447 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,000 jovial. It's a totally different 448 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,440 experience. But imagine seeing. 449 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,720 Hey, look, Hensley Mullins is celebrating the three run home 450 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,160 run by Aaron Judge. Wow. 451 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,360 Wow. It is Steve Sachs. 452 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,600 Oh, wow. You know what I'm saying? 453 00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:16,320 I don't know, it just it just hits me the wrong way. 454 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,480 It just, it really shouldn't bother me to be fully 455 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,680 transparent. Like I know that that it 456 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:27,240 shouldn't, but it does because I never stopped watching the 457 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,520 Knicks. Like matter of fact, I was doing 458 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,920 a lot of the broadcast back then. 459 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,400 I was doing the pre and the post game show and the halftime show 460 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,800 for, I don't know, 5-6, seven years, whatever it was and 461 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,920 started with Larry Brown and then obviously after that. 462 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,000 And those teams were just wretched, man. 463 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,600 There were a lot of good dudes on like bring back David Leake. 464 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,600 I see David Lease in courtside. You know, I just I'm not going 465 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,800 to believe her anymore, but it's just it bothers me. 466 00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:56,240 All right, at Avery Summit BT what's cooking salary cap wise? 467 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,720 Who is he replacing? Yeah, they'd have to obviously. 468 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,840 And, and I've, I've got a direct answer for you. 469 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,040 If they would have to, they'd have to basically get him to 470 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,680 take a veteran minimum. That's the short answer. 471 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,640 So I would, I'll address it right there. 472 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,000 There's always getting big money and you're not going to get rid 473 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,560 of important pieces to give him big money. 474 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,600 So the only way it would happen is if LeBron took a vet minimum 475 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,920 and you know, maybe that's the crack in the door, like that's 476 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,200 the ray of sunlight. Like if I saw that and he took 477 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,280 truly the veteran minimum and I maybe at that point I could 478 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,760 maybe, maybe, maybe, probably not. 479 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,120 But maybe I could say to myself, all right, man, he really wants 480 00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:39,480 to come here. He's making 1.92.7, but 3.1, 481 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,840 whatever the hell the veteran minimum is because there's no 482 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,080 other way that they can afford him based on their current 483 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,960 finances. So yeah, if you took a small, a 484 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,800 small money deal, the numbers just don't work. 485 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,720 Forget the conversation. Hashtag be real. 486 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,760 I don't think that you need to forget the conversation because 487 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,640 it was somewhat of a newsworthy item. 488 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,120 Thank you for that. But I disagree with the notion 489 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,080 that it was not it was not a pertinent topic or it's not 490 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,000 somewhat plausible to discuss. Like I'm not sitting here 491 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,560 saying, Hey, maybe the Knicks can get Shay, you know, Shay 492 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,400 Gill, just Alexander next year. Hey, maybe that could happen, 493 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,360 you know, or, you know, maybe the Knicks can get Doncic next 494 00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:15,920 year. No, I mean, talking about a guy 495 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:21,880 who the reports are, the stories are the speculation is, is that 496 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,480 he's done with the Lakers and more so the Lakers are done with 497 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,600 him. You know, and that the the the 498 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,760 wording that I guess the phrasing was he views the 499 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,440 Knicks, the Cavs, and there was one other team, I'm forgetting 500 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,200 who right now of the Warriors that he views as attractive or 501 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,040 potentially attractive or desirable, you know, 502 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,000 destinations to finish out his career. 503 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,080 So I'm not making it up, man. I mean I got nothings to talk 504 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,560 about than to make stupid stuff up at John Horvath 542. 505 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,200 Having LeBron, although still a good player, will be equivalent 506 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,720 to how fans were with a rod. Respect but tired. 507 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,520 I don't agree with this at all and that's just because I know 508 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,960 Alex and friends with Alex. I don't see that at all. 509 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,160 Respect but tired of the antics and glad when he retired. 510 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,520 Well, I mean are you talking about Alex at the end? 511 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,880 Because that I would have to agree with. 512 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,680 It was, it was, you know, it's time for Alex to to move on. 513 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,360 The Yankees were done with him. He was pretty much done with 514 00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:18,560 baseball. You know, his body was betraying 515 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,040 him. The story and and his history 516 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,400 was very, you know, publicly played out. 517 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,360 Yeah. And it did get a little 518 00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:27,280 overwhelming. And when you can't produce the 519 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,680 way he once was with multiple MVPS, by the way, as a Yankee 520 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:31,720 and. Oh, yeah, yeah. 521 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,120 He basically turned into Reggie Jackson in 2009 to help. 522 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,480 And, you know, him and Matsui. Matsui won the MVP, But Alex was 523 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,080 a freaking beast where his heartbeat finally slowed down 524 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,360 and he went from basically batting, what, 8th or 9th 525 00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,720 against the Tigers when Joe Torre dumped them down there? 526 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,520 My God, you remember that to an all time moment and a legacy 527 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,720 that is now clearly defined as a New York Yankee. 528 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,920 You know, I'm not saying there's no complications when you 529 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,600 evaluate what Alex was with the Yanks and you know, the Jeter 530 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,880 stuff and the Tory stuff. And but listen, I've talked to 531 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,360 Alex about this on my show and off the air, and he's been very 532 00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:12,440 transparent about this with the document and with the 533 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,080 documentary. Pardon me, Alex versus a Rod. 534 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,000 And I remember watching it. I remember texting him saying, 535 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,480 dude, I'm so happy you did this because there's certain people, 536 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,520 right? I get to that as well. 537 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,760 Keep that up. There's certain people out there 538 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,800 that are, I think, inherently good, but just trip over 539 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,480 themselves and get in their own way and complicate their own 540 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,840 world and that's Alex. Like to me, Alex is just an 541 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,120 inherently good dude. Cares about kids, cares about 542 00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:42,640 youth baseball, you know, great teammate. 543 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,080 I mean, the guys he played with Canola, I mean that mean or Jeet 544 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,440 or whatever, but those guys love them, right? 545 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:49,920 Great player. Everybody knows that. 546 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,520 But Alex just made life tougher on himself. 547 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,880 I'll tell you the truth, this is true. 548 00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,720 So I don't know how it started. I do actually. 549 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:06,360 So Sal was out. This was it was during the 550 00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:09,200 summer because I remember when I actually met him for the first 551 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,920 time, it was the the, the day of the MLB trade deadline. 552 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,800 So anyway, so I get a text message during the show. 553 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,120 I'm on the fan and it's somebody who know, I know very well in 554 00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:24,000 the business, friends with known him for a while, very good 555 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,440 friends with Tiki. That's how I know him. 556 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,480 Ron Berkowitz, great PRPR magician, and he really helped 557 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,720 rehabilitate Alex, You know, in terms of the image and the 558 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,120 repackaging and being transparent and being honest and 559 00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:39,880 owning stuff and understanding. Yeah. 560 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,760 I mean, people think some people think what they do because you 561 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:44,760 kind of made them think that way. 562 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,720 Anyway, the text message, I go to a commercial break and it's 563 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,920 from Burke and he's like, hey, he's like, hit me up after the 564 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:52,960 show. I got to run something by. 565 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,800 It's pretty important. Anyway, I'm like, yeah, no 566 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,800 problem. And talked to him a little bit. 567 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,280 So I was like, huh, that's pretty interesting. 568 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,920 So I I called him on the way home and he's like, hey, just so 569 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,200 you know, Alex was listening to the show today. 570 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,680 He's a huge fan. He loves you. 571 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,000 He loves BT and Sal. He's listened to you for a long 572 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,000 time. And I'm like, I'm saying to 573 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,960 myself, how much is he really listened? 574 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,720 But that is you get to know how looks like. 575 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,400 There's no detail. He he like, he just immerses 576 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,120 himself in every little tiny granular thing. 577 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,560 So Burke wasn't talking smack anyway. 578 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,520 He said he really appreciated what you said about him on the 579 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,920 show today. He happened to be listening. 580 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,680 And I'll tell you what the topic was in a moment. 581 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,960 He loved to meet up for lunch, take you to lunch. 582 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,960 And I'm like 100% man. No, don't. 583 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,880 No doubt. Now, I'm not thinking that it's 584 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,600 going to really happen. I mean, he owns the T Wolves. 585 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,600 I mean, he's Alex Rodriguez. Why is he going to take me to 586 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,360 lunch? There's a little nobody. 587 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,360 So I was obviously amenable to it, but I just didn't think that 588 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,600 would happen. Anyway, Burke and I go back and 589 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:55,920 forth and then I think there will yeah, I said, hey, if Alex 590 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,600 is comfortable with it, put him on a text thread with me and you 591 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,000 and we'll get the ball rolling. And then Alex and I can set 592 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,400 things up so you don't have to be involved with 1,000,000 text 593 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,400 messages, right? He's like, alright, So we asked 594 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,160 Alex and then he, he puts us, us, the three of us on a text 595 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,600 message. And then Alex and I kind of step 596 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,520 into our own text and start to develop our own relationship. 597 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,640 So I go into the restaurant he meet he beat me there and he's 598 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,520 with his cousin who's great dude, and he stands up and and 599 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,760 and I've been around him in the in the locker room, not much 600 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,600 because I wasn't really in the Yankee locker room much, but 601 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,240 enough like I knew he was a big dude, even bigger than I 602 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,400 remember, and I'm like 6 two and a half 220. 603 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,200 This guy's a freaking beast, man, still jacked. 604 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,720 Anyway, he stands up to greet and he gives me, you know, like 605 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,800 a a good squeeze, like a little bro hug. 606 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,160 I'm like, I was going to be blast right. 607 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,640 So we're talking about a lot of stuff. 608 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,760 And then he says he had already done his homework and we were 609 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,520 talking about, he tells me voluntarily that he's like, you 610 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,400 know, and I don't, it was very interesting how we went right 611 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,800 there kind of early in the lunch. 612 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,000 I don't even think we'd ordered yet. 613 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,840 And he's, you know, it took me a while to get to a good place, 614 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,560 you know, a lot of, a lot of therapy. 615 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,720 And it really taught me to open up and look in the mirror and 616 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,720 I've got to own some shit and, and change some things. 617 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:08,880 I'm like, wow, that's awesome, dude. 618 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,920 And he, he actually told the story and he word for word, he's 619 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,600 like, I, I remember back in the day, you called me corny. 620 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,840 He's like, you act and I guess was in the newspaper, something 621 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,680 I, I don't know. And I did because that was when 622 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,360 he was sunbathing in Central Park. 623 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,000 I'm like, this guy's a cornball. He just gets in his own way. 624 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,840 What are you doing, dude? And he remembered that. 625 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,600 That's the kind of research that Alex does. 626 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:38,160 So anyway, once we got there and, and I and I got to see, you 627 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,040 know, what kind of person he was, we really became friends. 628 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,880 We went to his Christmas party, my wife and me and Sal and 629 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,760 awesome was just texting the other day about something. 630 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,880 And and I say that because I know that was a long winded way 631 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,720 to get there. But the one of the previous text 632 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,360 said, you know, you, you kind of like it to LeBron. 633 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:57,120 I I don't see it that way at all because look, Alex came here and 634 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,080 willingly move to third base when he was twice as good as I 635 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,280 mean, come on, who's the better shortstop, Alex Rodriguez or 636 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,240 Derek Jeter? And that's what I was talking 637 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,920 about on the air. It Oh, it came up where Jeter 638 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,720 wasn't going to old timers day and I got on him a little bit. 639 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,800 I thought it was weak. You know, I just I know you 640 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,680 don't want to go out there, wear a uniform and and play baseball 641 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,280 to look bad like Joe DiMaggio. All right, fine. 642 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,080 Show up, man. Show up. 643 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,280 You the captain. And it bothered me, right. 644 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,600 So he heard that and I and then I, you know, like I said that 645 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,560 about Derek and then I guess somebody called up and they 646 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,400 said, oh, Jeter couldn't, you know, Alex couldn't shine 647 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,640 Derek's shoes. And that started this snowball. 648 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,440 The phone calls like, and not everybody was, was, was in 649 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,280 agreement with that previous call, but it was about that. 650 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,720 And that's that's the segment that Alex heard. 651 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,440 And and I just I don't think it's any anything close to to 652 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,320 LeBron at all because LeBron will be coming here at the end, 653 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,240 you know, kind of cherry picking a good team. 654 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:57,400 Alex went there knowing that the Yankees had won in 96 in 98 in 655 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,400 99 in 2000, got to the World Series in O3 should have beat 656 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,920 the Morelands young pitching staff beat him. 657 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,560 Whatever. He wasn't afraid of that 658 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,840 challenge. Like it's almost like Lebron's 659 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,400 trying to beat the savior. And LeBron at this point is on 660 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,480 the 17th hole. Alex wasn't even making the turn 661 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,080 yet in terms of where he was as a professional athlete. 662 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,520 So no long answer. Disagree. 663 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,480 Add Anthony Bolton or Botton 1364. 664 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,000 You know, if LeBron came here even on a vet minimum and they 665 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,640 won, the narrative would be all about him and that he saved the 666 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,640 Knicks. I'll pass on that. 667 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,840 Amen. And that's what I said a month 668 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,240 or so ago when this came up. Yes, I completely agree with 669 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,960 that. And that's what I don't want. 670 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,560 And that's why I use the word beholden. 671 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,960 I don't want to be beholden to that dude coming to save the 672 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,760 Knicks. Oh, look, The king rolled in, 673 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,240 brought the Knicks their first championship since 1973. 674 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,400 Not interested. I'd rather lose with, and I mean 675 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,760 this. I'm not just saying this. 676 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:01,720 I would rather lose with grace and pride and dignity and not 677 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,200 begging this guy to come save us. 678 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,880 That's how I feel. You might disagree. 679 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,600 That's OK. All right. 680 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:20,360 So I did the video of Aaron Glenn yesterday is just it's 681 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,240 really one of the most it it it's just I mean, I I don't even 682 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,800 know how to describe it. Dude, you fell asleep at the 683 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,960 fucking combine. You fell asleep. 684 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:39,640 What and it would be bad enough if the punters were working out 685 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:45,240 or the kickers or, you know, the action hadn't started yet. 686 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,920 The Jets have the second overall pick. 687 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,240 They just got a horse in the middle, which it at which And I 688 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,400 really like that. I like it. 689 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,480 I like it for Tennessee as well. Go back to Sala, a year 690 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,400 healthier. But The Jets weren't going to 691 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,000 pay Jermaine Johnson, neither would I. 692 00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,600 The player they got back has multiple more years of 693 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,680 controllability, was a second round pick, is a whole hell of a 694 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,000 lot cheaper, and addresses a pressing need. 695 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,679 And if you're gonna play a lot more 3/4, which they obviously 696 00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:14,840 are based on the hires they've made, well now that makes a 697 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,880 world the sense. I I love what The Jets did, but 698 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,040 but also if I'm a Titans fan, I'm like, God, I can get behind 699 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,360 this. Either way, the guys that were 700 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,120 working out when Aaron decided to take a little snooze, take a 701 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:33,560 little nap were guys that I promise you that's the position 702 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,800 The Jets are going to draft. They're not taking a wide 703 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,000 receiver or two. They're not taking an offensive 704 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,679 line. But at 2, you know, as much as I 705 00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:44,880 would be cool with taking Caleb Downs at AT2II, I don't think 706 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,120 that they will so that they're not taking a safety at 2. 707 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,080 They're not taking a tight end to two. 708 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,560 You taking an edge or a linebacker and Sonny Styles, 709 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,520 Joe, you know, very quick aside here. 710 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,240 Very interesting with, you know, I I would be more than OK with 711 00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:01,960 Caleb Downs going to and I've said that for a while. 712 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,400 But you know, and I'm not just falling in love with the 713 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,240 numbers. There was a thought like the 714 00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:08,320 measurables. There was a thought by a lot of 715 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,600 people who follow this and that's all they do for a living 716 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,000 that excuse me, meaning that they watched every snap of Sonny 717 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,680 Styles's career and every snap of the Buckeyes this year where 718 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,160 they really thought, I won't say the majority, but a but a good 719 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,160 amount. He was the best player on the 720 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,320 field on defense, him not downs, nobody else. 721 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,480 It was Sonny Styles. So that's very interesting. 722 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,240 Now you know, Ruben Bain, I think he's dropping a little bit 723 00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:36,440 Short arms. I whatever third shortest arms I 724 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,360 think in the history of any defensive end, whatever the stat 725 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,520 was, you know, and it's bad enough to have short arms if you 726 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,200 got to reach for the check and get the money clip. 727 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,000 You can't be having short arms when you try to disengage with 728 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,240 some 330 LB monster who's trying to push you into the second 729 00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:53,760 level and you try to get around in that that hand manipulation. 730 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,680 I I know, again, I know it sounds like stupid and I 731 00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:03,080 remember who the hell was it? I think it may have been Marcus 732 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,200 Mariota. Yeah, so for about 7 years I did 733 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,040 ATV show on on CBS Sports Network called tops that are the 734 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,600 pregame show. Had a lot of fun doing a good 735 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,000 crew and I worked with with Adam Shine, Amy Trask. 736 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,160 I worked with Bart for two years on TVI think Bart was maybe 3. 737 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,640 My guy Fletch and I love Bart too. 738 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,960 Big Dog London Fletcher, Chris Sims was there a couple of 739 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,120 years, a bit of a rotating a panel of of fantasy people, all 740 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,600 talented. Anyway, one of the really cool 741 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,960 things was because the the Heisman Trophy would be awarded 742 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,480 on Saturday night, New York City. 743 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,320 The studio was in Manhattan and obviously the Heisman Trophy 744 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,960 winners in Manhattan spending the night and then making the 745 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,280 tour, making the rounds the next day. 746 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,000 We would every year that I did the show have the Heisman Trophy 747 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,040 winner come in with the Heisman Trophy, do a segment. 748 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:51,640 I mean, it was great. I've got to pick. 749 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,160 I'm going to actually find some of these pictures and I'm I'm 750 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,280 going to get them up at some point. 751 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,560 Not today. I'll get him to J Rod. 752 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,360 He'll put him up. I remember meeting Jameis 753 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,640 Winston Baker, Kyler Murray. Who else? 754 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,840 I don't know if this conversation was about Mariota 755 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,120 because then when I come back and I'm I'm doing the show with 756 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,720 Tiki at this point. National, national Radio and I 757 00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:17,840 went up and I put my cause Boomer, we talk about hand size 758 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,640 and ass size and all that stuff. And you want a quarterback with 759 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,080 a thick and Phil Simms loves that. 760 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,400 And if it's good enough for Phil, his quarterback is good 761 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,200 enough for me. Like if you're light in the ass, 762 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,760 that's not good. Zach Wilson Anyway, hand size 763 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,360 matters, right? 10 inches, 10 1/2, whatever it 764 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,800 might be. And I remember going up to 765 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,320 actually, it may have been Baker, now that I think about 766 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,440 it, whomever it was, and actually said, hey, put your 767 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,040 hand up right now. I don't have small hands. 768 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,800 I don't have gigantic hands. They got good enough hands, 769 00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:48,800 right? So I come back and I guess 770 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,440 somebody told Tiki that I did that. 771 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,200 Tiki's like, dude, you, you measuring hands? 772 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,400 What are you doing? Yeah, I'm desperate for a 773 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,640 fucking quarterback. I mean, I'll measure everything 774 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,720 except except one thing. I'll measure. 775 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,160 Take your shoes off. Do what? 776 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,480 Let's go. How big are you? 777 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,080 I'm desperate. I'll measure anything and and 778 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,200 and and it was funny with that, but the the you know, the the 779 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,680 measurables at the combine and I'm into the combine. 780 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,320 I've been watching, I've been reading those guys worked out. 781 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,960 Those were some eye popping off the charts number yesterday, 782 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,360 specifically with styles. But the point is with Aaron it, 783 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,640 you know, again, even if it was a punter or kicker or running 784 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,160 back who The Jets aren't taking in the first round, but somebody 785 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,240 will take love in the first round. 786 00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:36,040 Jets won't. I don't know, I always get on 787 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,680 Woody Johnson, but like like if I'm Woody, I I call him up and 788 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,960 if I'm Mooji, who's been doing some really good things like do 789 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,720 what I mean, come on, man, you can't have the jokes right 790 00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:49,640 themselves like you now the light and I don't even watch 791 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,680 late night shows anymore. I think it's all boring and I 792 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,240 think they all stink right. I used to watch Conan. 793 00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:57,200 I used to love Letterman. I used to watch Leno big Conan 794 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,960 fan by the way. I thought he was the wittiest. 795 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,520 Actually, I know Letterman's perceived to be the best 796 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,200 Carson's before my time. I don't want number one. 797 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,160 I'm just too busy and why am I going to watch it if I could 798 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,520 just see a clip if I want to on social media. 799 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:15,960 But back in the day, when those shows really mattered, the, you 800 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,040 know, The Jets would just help write the jokes. 801 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:24,120 And here's another one. I mean, we're trying to escape 802 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,080 being a prisoner of being the punchline. 803 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:33,240 And when you have the head coach and he's fell asleep, man, this 804 00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:35,480 is not getting hijacked for a second. 805 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,720 You watch it. That's why I started the show 806 00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:39,840 the way that I did. He's like this. 807 00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:45,440 And his eyes are visibly shut while he's looking at the field, 808 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,840 visibly shut. And then they open. 809 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,840 And then he looks around and then he knows, oh, boy, that's, 810 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,800 that's not good. And now he's like, you could 811 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,560 tell what's going through his mind, what's racing through his 812 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,760 mind. All right, you know it. 813 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,840 And it's just, I mean, I, I can't even yell about it. 814 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,640 I'd like to. It's disgraceful. 815 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,360 It's embarrassing. It's on brand, you know, for The 816 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,320 Jets. But we're unkillable here, man. 817 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,120 We're trying to bust out of this. 818 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,680 You know, look what I'm wearing today, my Joe, my, my Joe Kleco 819 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,960 Hall of Fame sweatshirt, you know, from The Jets trip that I, 820 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,200 that I LED, that I, that I had when we went to Canton and Revis 821 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:24,800 as well. But he left, you know, he left. 822 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,440 So I don't, I don't love the way Revis. 823 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,160 I don't love Revis the way some Jet fans. 824 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,360 So I just don't. I'm sorry. 825 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,120 When you win a Super Bowl with the Pats and you're Darrelle 826 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:36,160 Revis and then you come back and you're out of shape and you're 827 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,200 slow and you're disinterested. I mean, I could certainly 828 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,560 delineate the two and say Darrelle Revis was the best 829 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,400 quarter that I've ever seen. I know Dionne, I know a few 830 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:46,200 others. I get it. 831 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,400 That's how good Darrelle Revis was. 832 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,920 But I don't view Revis the same with the same affinity with the 833 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,640 and, and I really didn't even like, I watched a couple of 834 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,960 years of Coleco, but I was young, so I didn't process it 835 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,680 really the way I did with Revis. Obviously, I don't feel the same 836 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,480 way toward Revis that I do with Joe Kleco. 837 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,680 Joe Kleco is a Jet. I don't care that he finished up 838 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,160 one year with the Colts, whatever it was. 839 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,080 Kleco, Jet. I know some of you will disagree 840 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:16,280 with this, you know. But to me, Revis, Jet, but also 841 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,080 a world champion with the team that I hate and then I'm very 842 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:25,200 jealous of, to be very honest with you, J Rod is J Rod. 843 00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:27,400 What's up. J Rod, what's up, brother? 844 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,040 By the way, how was dinner with your parents last night? 845 00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:32,040 It was good, very nice, great to see the fam and CT. 846 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,000 Then I had to just like, skirt right back, back down to New 847 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,160 York. But you did. 848 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,040 You did. You did. 849 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:38,680 Now do you have a car? What'd you do? 850 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:39,960 You did an Uber train. What'd you do? 851 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,920 Train Metro North. I'm like, honestly, I'm like a 852 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,600 40 minute ride back to my childhood home from Grand 853 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,200 Central. So it's really quick, it's 854 00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:49,120 really easy. Yeah, no, I get it. 855 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,320 I'm just a car guy. Even when I lived in Manhattan, 856 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,680 excuse me, for 9 years, I had a car. 857 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,080 Now I needed, yeah, well, I need to get to St. 858 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,480 John's and I but even and I of course wasted money even back 859 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:00,800 then paying for the stupid garage. 860 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,680 But I what I would do because I wanted to have a car. 861 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,920 I would play golf a lot on Saturday and was back in the day 862 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,640 every Saturday morning, every Sunday before I'm coaching, 863 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,680 before kids, before I'm married, every Saturday and Sunday I'm 864 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:12,880 going to play.

I think since I've been here 884 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,920 though, I I guess I really have enjoyed the public transport. 885 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,280 I mean, you just see some wacky stuff, so. 886 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,640 Enjoy is enjoy is one way to describe it, yeah. 887 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,080 Troy, I guess I'm it's kind of like because I guess I'm kind of 888 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:22,480 like a dude. It's like when I go on the 889 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,840 subway sometimes it's like Disney World, like you're going 890 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,320 Oh my God, there's Mickey Mouse. Oh my gosh, there's Elmo. 891 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,840 Like so. Oh my God, there's a splasher 892 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,920 with a with an axe.

The boss no. 895 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,400 Buff fact the boss. No, go the boss. 896 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,360 That's where the creatures have. Not even about that just I I 897 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,880 like I don't get car sick, but like the smog and just all the 898 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,280 bus God Almighty, the bus. Now I will tell you this. 899 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:57,120 There's a reason why I have, I'm not going to say an aversion to 900 00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,800 public transportation at but that's how I had to get to high 901 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,200 school. So when I when my mind and I 902 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,080 don't know, I did take the train all the time when I lived in 903 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,120 Manhattan. I mean, that's the but you're 904 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,800 drinking, you go, you know, get into the Garden to work, get 905 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,520 into because the Garden, you know, doing the Knicks and St. 906 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,920 John's, but also my old radio station 1050 was at 2 Penn, 907 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,520 which is the Garden. So I would take 5 or 6 stops 908 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,040 coming from the Upper West Side and it was perfect. 909 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,800 Man comes every 5 minutes, Boom, boom money. 910 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,480 But I did it all the time. But when I was going to high 911 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,640 school, I may have said this once or twice. 912 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,040 I don't know if I said it here, you know how I got to high 913 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,680 school everyday. So I'm going to tell you real 914 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,240 fast. I would have to take and have to 915 00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:43,760 walk across the street, take one bus to another bus to a train at 916 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,760 Kings Highway. All right, the Q train, which is 917 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,400 the express, the D was the local whatever coming from, you know, 918 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,040 Coney Island. I get it at Kings Highway, and I 919 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:59,560 would be on for at least Avenue H Church, Parkside, Beverly Rd. 920 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,160 Cortelu Rd. you know, a bunch of others. 921 00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:08,320 At least 10 stops and at least 40 minutes, at least 45 minutes 922 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,120 straight shot. Yeah, but then I'd have to get 923 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:15,600 off at W 4th St. because. And then I had to connect to an 924 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:21,120 F train, take it one stop and then get to Union Square and 925 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,960 then walk in the freezing cold. That wasn't a long walk, but it 926 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,640 was an annoying walk at the end of this freaking journey just to 927 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,800 get to school, which I didn't even want to get to. 928 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,960 All right, there's one thing if you if you, if you're going 929 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,120 through that, to go and do something fun like go to the 930 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,440 Yankee game or something. I'm going here to go. 931 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,520 I got, I'm going there to study Latin, which by the way, I 932 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,280 failed. I'm going there. 933 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,240 I'm going to a school with priests. 934 00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:49,600 I'm terrified of, you know, I'm going to a school with no girls. 935 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,160 Oh no. Yeah, old boys, old boys, 936 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,200 private man. Speaking of, I think we've got 937 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,080 some Xavier High School representation in the chat here. 938 00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:57,960 What? Do we got here? 939 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,560 What do we got here? Oh Rob Ryan what up there Robbie 940 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,640 77 O 6 here was scarred by trading it to Xavier every day 941 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,400 in the late 80s Class of 92. That is the year after me that a 942 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,200 boy love it. Hey, keep marching, keep 943 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,240 marching men for others. We had a bunch of expressions. 944 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,720 So check this out. So you you had to they call the 945 00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:23,000 jug like instead of detention. Catholics, Jesuits, a lot of 946 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,960 Jesuits will remember this and not just Xavier. 947 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,360 Justice under God was the acronym, right? 948 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,920 Juj. But our Dean of discipline, who 949 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,320 I mean when I tell you I love this man outside of my dad, the 950 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,840 most influential man in my life. And I really mean that. 951 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,520 Like he willed me to graduate from there. 952 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,760 Like I really there, there were multiple times I should have 953 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,360 been kicked out. I'm just going to keep it real, 954 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,680 right? So his last name was Gregory. 955 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,360 Mr. Gregory, rest in peace. God, I I love that man. 956 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,920 I love him. Just what phenomenal human. 957 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,640 And so it was justice under Gregory at our school, but just 958 00:46:58,640 --> 00:46:59,920 under God. Anyway, if you did something, 959 00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:02,640 whatever it was, if, if you wore an earring to school, which I 960 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,720 tried and then obviously had to stop, or if you didn't shave, 961 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,720 which I never had to worry about because I didn't have to shave 962 00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:10,920 until basically slightly after high school. 963 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,440 If you could believe it, if you didn't have a tie, because we 964 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,880 had to wear a blazer and a Letterman sweater like it, it, 965 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,600 it was, it was a lot. You had to write down these five 966 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,640 things, right? So you go to detention and I 967 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,720 forget what they were. One was hair must be neat and 968 00:47:24,720 --> 00:47:28,920 properly cut. 1 was like I, I really forgot. 969 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,520 I forget them. And you you could not leave 970 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:36,520 until you finished writing them. And I mean double sided and it 971 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,160 wouldn't take 6 minutes. It would take like 52 minutes, 972 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,160 48 minutes. And that's why Bart Simpson. 973 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,320 Yes, yes, yes. That meme resonates differently 974 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,840 with me. That's why full transparency, 975 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,720 that's why I was kicked off the basketball team, which to this 976 00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:54,480 day kills me. I mean, obviously you guys know 977 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,360 I played baseball, but I love basketball and I and I made the 978 00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,080 team. It wasn't great, but certainly 979 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:00,400 good enough to be on the team for sure. 980 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,840 And because I was always in, in junk, always in detention, I 981 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:09,520 would for my entire first year, I went to practice late every 982 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,800 single day. And then finally the coaches 983 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,280 were like when I went out for JV, they're like, no, you got to 984 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,320 get your stuff together. We're not taking you this year. 985 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,760 And I was, I was broken. It killed me because then 986 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,800 shortly after that, you know, I, I wound up growing to almost 63 987 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,240 and I could shoot and I wouldn't have been the star on the team 988 00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:28,720 at all, but I would have played and I would have been, I may 989 00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:30,320 have been the best 3 point shooter on the team. 990 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,920 I may have been like Timmy was a really good shooter as well. 991 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,800 The point is, is that I associate transportation like 992 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,960 that with bad stuff. Even though without Xavier, I I 993 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,600 wouldn't be here. I, I mean that I would not, I 994 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,800 would not be here. But God almighty dude, I just, I 995 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:50,200 resent, I resent looking at buses that and trains it. 996 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,080 It scarred me. Dude, stop. 997 00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:55,120 That's too. So Rob Ryan was right. 998 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,640 Some true, some true scarring from the trains here. 999 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,720 We got one from Enzo the picker. I don't know if you know what 1000 00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:07,360 this would mean BT my father worked in the 63. 63 I guess. 1001 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,120 63rd precinct I'm guessing. There you go. 1002 00:49:09,720 --> 00:49:11,560 Respect. Shout out NYPD. 1003 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:12,640 Love it. Absolutely. 1004 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,720 He's got to mean that he's got to be the 6th 3. 1005 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,080 Yeah. I mean, it's funny too, because 1006 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:21,040 when, when I think about how my children will go to school, I 1007 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,360 mean, I live if if they go to the public school, they very 1008 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,400 well might go to private for sports, whatever that's down the 1009 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,800 road. But that is if they stay here. 1010 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,720 It's a great school. What's the reason we built the 1011 00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:34,000 home here? It's it's a mile, 1.8 miles 1012 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,000 away. You know, they're there in 6 1013 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,400 minutes. It's it's, it's like, it's a 1014 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,320 world. I can't relate to what I think 1015 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,520 about, you know, when you see, I don't know why this movie popped 1016 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,400 #1 because I was in love with the with, with the actress who 1017 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,280 who passed away. She had a heroin overdose. 1018 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,960 She really fell apart. Got a good 80s movie for you? 1019 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,720 One of those romantic comedies can't buy me love. 1020 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:58,040 Haven't seen it. OK, when you get a chance, look 1021 00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,560 at the, you know, do a little Sir. 1022 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,400 You can even do it now. You can even pop it up if you 1023 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,960 want. The blonde, the lead blonde, 1024 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,120 Patrick Dempsey, who's obviously very famous. 1025 00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,960 Patrick Dempsey is a is a great actor, very famous. 1026 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,120 He was in it and I'm forgetting the the actresses name. 1027 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,200 Blonde hair. My God, I was I was madly in 1028 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,560 love with her and I love the movie. 1029 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,000 Right. And I think they were in 1030 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:20,760 Arizona. Amanda Peterson. 1031 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:22,440 Yes, there. Rest in peace. 1032 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,880 Heroin fell apart. Yeah, and horrendous. 1033 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,720 And to me, I remember what part of the reason I love the movies 1034 00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:31,480 because number 1. I loved her and it was funny. 1035 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,960 The music was good. But also I'm like, what kind of 1036 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,560 campus is this? It was like a public school in 1037 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:41,720 Arizona and they're all sitting outside with cactuses or cacti, 1038 00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:44,680 whatever, and like this beautiful dirt bait, like 1039 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,520 beautiful baseball field and sick looking football stadium. 1040 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,560 And not only did I have to take trains and buses to go to 1041 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,520 school, I had to take trains and buses to go to baseball 1042 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,800 practice. Because you got to understand, 1043 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,320 dude, Xavier is in the middle of Lower Manhattan on the West. 1044 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:06,760 W 16th, W 16th, 30, W 16th, right off 6th Ave. not far from 1045 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,600 Union Square. There's no fields there. 1046 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,280 So we'd have to take. Yeah, they had these, like, 1047 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,320 white vans, which sometimes we had because sometimes rugby had, 1048 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,400 or sometimes whatever. But if you didn't get the van, 1049 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:19,760 which we didn't get, we got them for games all the time. 1050 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:24,960 But for practice, we're jumping on a bus to go to practice, you 1051 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,720 know, on the on the on the east on on the East River Drive. 1052 00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:29,920 So we're going from the West side to the east side. 1053 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,080 And that's something that, you know, Tupac would sing about. 1054 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,880 Oh, man. Anyway, that's a long tangent 1055 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,640 about about public transportation. 1056 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:38,800 I didn't even know how it started. 1057 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:40,160 That's an old rules. Right, Yeah, who? 1058 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:41,760 Who knows? Buds No rules. 1059 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:43,840 Screw them. Screw them, TA. 1060 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:45,920 That's right. That's right. 1061 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:47,360 Well, I no, no, don't say that, dude. 1062 00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:50,000 I've got respect. To all the workers, yes, told 1063 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:51,960 the employees. Yes, the Union. 1064 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,680 Yeah, the concept, the public transport concept. 1065 00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,520 How about a monorail like in Disney? 1066 00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:58,880 Can we get that thing going at some? 1067 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,600 Point over near Yeah, we need. That that was awesome. 1068 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,040 All right. Still is at Jason DL-V9. 1069 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:09,080 And what do you think of Stanton baseball rating Yankees 4th in 1070 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,640 the division. Well, I mean, what do I think of 1071 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,560 Stanton? I I think it's a problem, which 1072 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,040 I thought it's a problem for years and it's not. 1073 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,080 If he's healthy, will he perform? 1074 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:22,960 He does, but he can't run, they can't feel, he can't throw. 1075 00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:25,360 He's a righty bat that they sorely need. 1076 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,080 So I wanted the Yankees to get Bichette. 1077 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:32,680 And then I think that it's I appreciate his honesty. 1078 00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,720 And I'm also not here to just disrespect Giancarlo Stanton. 1079 00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:38,200 I'm not going to bag on him. Like it's easy to make make 1080 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,880 jokes, you know? But honestly, with what he's 1081 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,480 dealt with, Fizz, it's not his fault that his body's falling 1082 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:48,760 apart now. And I, I, I myself, I'm not 1083 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,000 trying to start trouble here. I'm really, I'm not looking to 1084 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,160 go viral. So I'm prefacing this with my 1085 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,880 honest opinion. I don't believe that he's a 1086 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,040 product of any sort of chemical enhancement. 1087 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,800 I don't, I don't think he's, I know he looks like Zeus, you 1088 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,960 know, and some people have said, well, no, I, I never thought 1089 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,160 that. All right, I just think that he 1090 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,360 was and Tiki used to say soft tissue because I used to pull my 1091 00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,360 I used to have some hamstring issues even in college, right. 1092 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,800 And he would say about guys that he played with in the NFL, soft 1093 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,440 tissue, bad cell guys, meaning you could look like a powerhouse 1094 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,320 and you could be sculpted like Zeus and you can look the part 1095 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,920 in the weight room. But when it's time to run those 1096 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,120 soft things, the ligaments, the tendons, all that stuff, right? 1097 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,240 You know, it's a little tight and it's it's a product of a bad 1098 00:53:33,240 --> 00:53:35,440 cell. You're a bad cells guy or just 1099 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,880 being, you know, wired tightly with those things. 1100 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,240 I just mentioned the ligaments of the tendons and with the 1101 00:53:41,240 --> 00:53:42,840 elbow. That's that's what I believe it 1102 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,360 is. I, I just think that while he 1103 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,960 got some incredible gifts from God, he's 65. 1104 00:53:49,240 --> 00:53:51,120 You know, he's got incredible vision. 1105 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,400 He's got credible bat speed. Nobody hits the baseball 1106 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,240 consistently. I mean, he would just look at, 1107 00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,880 you know, exit velocity. He's always there. 1108 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,880 Judge is always there. Alonzo's up there, quite a bit 1109 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,280 of few others, but I mean, it's always Giancarlo Stanton. 1110 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,040 I mean, hits lasers, man, when they go out. 1111 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:11,240 They did never like that, that, you know, touching the skies, 1112 00:54:11,240 --> 00:54:13,520 just scraping clouds. It's always fume. 1113 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,320 It's a freaking missile at 118, whatever it might be. 1114 00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:21,320 So I respect Giancarlo Stanton. It's never a hit piece or oh, 1115 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,480 here's an easy joke, because I know how hard baseball is and 1116 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,880 I'm not going to turn into that. I've never been that guy to just 1117 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,240 shit on somebody because their body betrays them. 1118 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,680 Maybe because my body betrayed me on a much lower level in 1119 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,960 terms of talent. And I understand how much it 1120 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:39,800 sucks to go through injuries. I mean, it absolutely sucks. 1121 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,400 I want to write this something down so I don't forget. 1122 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:49,880 So, you know, he very easily could have tapped out and, you 1123 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:54,280 know, missed multiple seasons or this guy just fights to get back 1124 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,600 because he's a pro. So I respect them and I'm 1125 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,640 rooting for him, but in the same breath, he's been a source of my 1126 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:06,360 consternation specific to baseball because he's gotten in 1127 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,080 the way of other things that I think would have made the 1128 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:13,400 Yankees champions, whether it's Bryce Harper, Seeger, you know, 1129 00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,400 Machado, lesser extent, things like that. 1130 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:19,040 You know, that's a problem. Maybe even Beau Bouchette this 1131 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:23,920 year, you know, I don't know. I, I, you know, what do I think 1132 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,360 in terms of the Yankees being 4th in the division? 1133 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:30,040 First of all, the Yankees have the second shortest World Series 1134 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:31,920 odds and they I think they've got the second highest win 1135 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:33,760 total. Now, that doesn't mean that's 1136 00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,520 going to happen. Yanks will be a playoff team. 1137 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,040 Yanks will be really good and they'll be really, really 1138 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:39,560 dangerous once that pitching staff. 1139 00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,000 If it does come together, it's going to be the best in baseball 1140 00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:44,600 if things go the way we hope that they go. 1141 00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:46,760 I don't give a shit who picks him forth. 1142 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,800 Whatever. Oh wow, some some website has 1143 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,680 him forth or you know some I don't. 1144 00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,400 I don't care. I don't care if they're first. 1145 00:55:54,400 --> 00:56:00,840 It doesn't matter to me. All right, Anthony OU 812. 1146 00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,280 Thank you for that. And what's going on, buddy? 1147 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,520 I think that's a new one. And are you new pop into the I 1148 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,080 don't think I've really read that that handle too often. 1149 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,920 And by the way, when you when you hit me up, whether it's a 1150 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,480 super or or not, let me know where you guys are. 1151 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,120 I do want to get a sense. I said that a while ago. 1152 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,360 I haven't said it in a while. I want to know where you guys 1153 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,920 are coming in from. Anthony at OU 812. 1154 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,600 As I said, if you're Leon, are you fearing for your job now? 1155 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:25,760 No, no, I mean, it's a good question. 1156 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,440 Like in terms of is he going to be around much longer if this 1157 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,480 doesn't work out? I mean, you can make the case 1158 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,520 that he shouldn't be because the big bullet was the Bridges move 1159 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,200 and Bridges is not what we thought he'd be. 1160 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:41,760 And, you know, big money to Ogi, like Ogi. 1161 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:46,560 Do I like OG that he'd be a little bit more the catish. 1162 00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,440 You know, you just, you know, I'm just not a cat guy. 1163 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:53,000 You know that. He's made some shrewd moves, 1164 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,720 very shrewd, but he's also made some moves that, you know, will 1165 00:56:56,720 --> 00:56:59,000 probably prevent the Knicks from winning a championship. 1166 00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:02,680 Hey, by the way, I'm all right. So let me get one more here. 1167 00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:07,160 By the way, at B Kleiner. You think I'm overly critical of 1168 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,880 cat? All right, who has arena said 1169 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,400 has been top two in his position the last eleven seasons? 1170 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:14,520 I'm not. I don't judge him on what he did 1171 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:15,880 in Minnesota. I don't care. 1172 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,920 All right, I like Gilbert arenas. 1173 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,920 He's got some he's got some strong opinions. 1174 00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,000 Man, that is a guy that you don't mess with. 1175 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,480 Man, that story with the gun in the locker room with and then 1176 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,480 was that Critterton? Oh, well, that was crazy. 1177 00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,920 All right, check your I'll check your check your DM for an invite 1178 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:31,800 to a game. I got you. 1179 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:36,600 Appreciate that. No, I mean, listen, it's my job 1180 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,160 to give opinions and my opinion is, is that Karl Anthony Towns 1181 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,480 is not good enough to be the second best player on the team 1182 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:44,520 that's going to win a championship. 1183 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,800 I stand by it. I'll take this to the end of the 1184 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,680 earth. But what I'll also do if I'm 1185 00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,640 wrong, I'll man up like a lot of people don't. 1186 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:54,640 I will willing and happily and willingly raise my hand and say, 1187 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,480 wow, I was wrong. I'm surprised, you know, for two 1188 00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:02,280 months Cat played inspired, buttoned up offense and defense, 1189 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,840 avoided the stupid fouls, particularly on the offensive 1190 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:09,800 end, which is still an issue. You know, got back on on 1191 00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,160 defense, got back in the play on offense rather. 1192 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:13,680 And that's that's been less of an issue late. 1193 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:15,640 There was a sequence early this year. 1194 00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:17,440 They were like 3. I know you guys saw this on 1195 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,680 video on social media three times Cat and I don't mean like 1196 00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,400 it was a fast break. I mean, Nick's got the rebound. 1197 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,800 Nick's are initiating the offense at the other end. 1198 00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,480 And you know, Cat is just then he's 10/12. 1199 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,560 I remember I counted one out 12 seconds later, slowly crosses 1200 00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:36,000 midcourt. And wow, thank you for gracing 1201 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,080 us with your presence and entering the frame. 1202 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:42,240 You know, I know cats good.

I had a double hernia when I 1236 01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,040 was, and I don't remember this. Mom tells the story. 1237 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:24,640 I guess I was about two and they used to mess around. 1238 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:27,120 They called me Bam Bam for a minute because if you remember 1239 01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,640 the Flintstones, when Bam Bam was hungry, Bam Bam like he 1240 01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:34,640 would bang his little bat, whatever his little club, Bam 1241 01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:36,920 Bam like he was trying to alert. He couldn't speak, I guess, and 1242 01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,800 alert, alert his mom that he wanted some Wilma. 1243 01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,800 And I guess I was trying to do that with my high chair. 1244 01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,760 That was my way of saying I'm hungry. 1245 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,400 And I would try to like, not only lift it up over my head, 1246 01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:48,800 but I would, I would get it off the ground. 1247 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:50,840 That. And in doing that, I actually 1248 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,680 had a double hernia. Yeah. 1249 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,560 That had no impact on my life, thank God, athletically or 1250 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:57,240 otherwise. But that was the first. 1251 01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:58,440 That was the first should have known. 1252 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:02,360 All right, Double hernia, about two, Thank God. 1253 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,440 There's a long run with nothing. But then with now it gets now it 1254 01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,280 gets rough. So my senior in college, Tommy 1255 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,320 John surgery, you probably know that you, I actually, I don't 1256 01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,920 know if you know that had Tommy John surgery, right? 1257 01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,280 My and then years later, I'll tell you how many years. 1258 01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:22,480 So that was my senior year and then when I was in Detroit. 1259 01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,920 So probably about five years after that, maybe a little less. 1260 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,680 No, definitely less. About 3 or 4 years after that, I 1261 01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,120 had a second procedure on my elbow. 1262 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,960 Same surgery, you know, same. Not not as invasive as Tommy 1263 01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:39,040 John, obviously, but they had to clean out some bone, you know, 1264 01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,640 some loose, loose bone bodies, whatever they call the medical 1265 01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,480 term I'm forgetting right now, but not a big deal. 1266 01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,240 But boom, second surgery on the elbow. 1267 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:53,400 Then when I was in my early 30s I ruptured my Achilles playing 1268 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:59,040 basketball. That was the fucking worst bro. 1269 01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:01,800 Yeah, I can imagine. I mean, so just like playing. 1270 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,840 I mean what pick up or some sort of. 1271 01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,880 Deal, I was in the league, I was in the league and I was in the 1272 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:07,960 league, bro. Yeah, I'll tell you the story 1273 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:08,960 real quick. This is wild. 1274 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:13,080 So there's I I'm sure it's still out there for a long time it's 1275 01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,920 league that was based in Manhattan called the the, the 1276 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:17,840 urban professional League, right. 1277 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,680 And there was like the, the top level, which was like a lot of I 1278 01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,760 remember at one point there was a lot of guys who played in the 1279 01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:25,760 Big East. I I don't mean like, you know, 1280 01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:28,840 Alan Iverson guys, but guys who wound up going to Wall Street, 1281 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:30,680 maybe played a year or two overseas. 1282 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,440 I mean, Ballers, bro. I mean, I couldn't even, I 1283 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,680 couldn't even, I couldn't even run a layup drill with these 1284 01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:37,960 dudes. Like they were, they were real 1285 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:39,800 players, right? That's not the league I was in. 1286 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,400 I think that was like the A or the one division. 1287 01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:46,040 We were in the next one, right, Which was really, really good. 1288 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,240 And I remember we were really one of the only white teams in 1289 01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:54,240 the league, right? We had a kid, Maddox. 1290 01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,520 What a baller bro. And he, he played, he played 1291 01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,160 Scranton. Where did where did where did he 1292 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,480 play Hamilton? He played at a small D3 school. 1293 01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,120 Not, not in great shape, you know, I mean a great guy, but 1294 01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:10,360 not like he was yoked or like 656 feet, you know, didn't look 1295 01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:14,400 incredibly intimidating, would range the moment you walk in the 1296 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:18,280 gym would, would routinely bang in, I mean, against defenders 1297 01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:21,840 who knew they had to stop him. 25 footers, just an absolute 1298 01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:23,840 beast, right? So we had a really good team. 1299 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,040 Another kid who played at Lehigh, another kid who played 1300 01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,080 at Scranton, you know, we were good. 1301 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:32,800 Anyway, so I remember we're playing at this gym in Manhattan 1302 01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:39,120 and I remember there was 2 refs and one was on the far side, so 1303 01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,600 on the weak side because I had the basketball and the other one 1304 01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,800 was right underneath the basket working the baseline. 1305 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,120 And I, I take a three and they say when you rupture your 1306 01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,600 Achilles, you feel like somebody kicked you in the back of the, 1307 01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,400 of the heel. You see a lot of people kind of 1308 01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,600 look back like what was that? Because it's such a foreign 1309 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:59,000 pain, you don't know what it is. So anyway, so I rise up, shoot 1310 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200 the three and I, I don't know if it was on the way up or on the 1311 01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:06,320 way, I really don't know. But I remember this is very hard 1312 01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:08,520 to describe, but it's, it's sounds like, Oh no, there's no 1313 01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,040 way this happened. Trust me. 1314 01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,760 This is what I recollect. Time basically stopped and I 1315 01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,720 remember in my mind for I missed the shot. 1316 01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:20,320 Of course, like, you know, the indignity of it, you're on the 1317 01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:21,680 floor in a minute, you missed the shot. 1318 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:23,400 Although I could chew, but I missed it. 1319 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,520 And I'm saying I'm like, oh shit, I just got foul. 1320 01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,240 Nice. I got 3 foul shots coming OK in 1321 01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:32,560 a nanosecond or whatever duration of time equates to 1322 01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:36,400 immediately. And as I'm coming down, I 1323 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:41,120 remember looking at the referee on the baseline like this not 1324 01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,120 moving. And I'm like, oh, that what that 1325 01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:47,120 I don't think I was fouled. Bang hit the floor right. 1326 01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:51,360 And I'm like, what the fuck was what was that? 1327 01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,760 And I'm, I remember trying to get up now I'm on the, I'm on 1328 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,920 the three-point line right at on the left side, on the left wing 1329 01:04:57,920 --> 01:04:59,680 right. And I try to stand up. 1330 01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:03,400 I fall right down and and then but I'm determined. 1331 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,720 I'm like I'm getting up. I am, I'm getting up no matter 1332 01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:07,960 what. I know I'm done and I think it's 1333 01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,800 my Achilles, but I'm I'm like, I'm getting up. 1334 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:14,000 I'm walking off the court. Got a nice little, little Kobe. 1335 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,880 You know, it's a foul shots. I didn't even get the foul 1336 01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,360 shots. Kobe got to the strike. 1337 01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:23,400 So anyway, I as I'm trying to get up, I can't get up and I'm 1338 01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:27,240 like scraping and scratching and clawing on the court. 1339 01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,160 I still couldn't stand. I wound up at the other foul 1340 01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:31,800 line. I basically. 1341 01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:35,200 Crawled. The entire length of the court. 1342 01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,600 And then I just surrendered. I'm like fuck it, I'm done. 1343 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,200 And the ambulance and they came and they put me in a in a 1344 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,800 wheelchair and they wheeled me out and then and then yeah, 1345 01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,680 yeah. So anyway, Toby, John, a second 1346 01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,640 procedure on the elbow Achilles. Then I had back surgery. 1347 01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:53,440 They had back surgery about 7 or 8 years ago. 1348 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:58,920 So, you know, I, I tried to really look at injuries on the 1349 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:02,320 professional level, not a scrub level like me on the 1350 01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:04,720 professional level #1 with intelligence. 1351 01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,400 And I also studied a little kinesiology in, in college. 1352 01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,240 So I know the body fairly well and I've had a lot of 1353 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,360 procedures. And when I have a procedure, I 1354 01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,120 do my homework, I do my research. 1355 01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:16,840 And you know, anyway, I think it gives me depth on the air and I 1356 01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,920 can kind of communicate things maybe a little bit more 1357 01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,120 effectively than some schmo who's sitting in front of a 1358 01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:22,920 microphone and never played a dead thing in his life. 1359 01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:24,440 Anyway, that's the quickest side. 1360 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,920 There's a lot of those people in the industry and, and I think 1361 01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,680 that it gives me, it's kind of a weapon that others don't have. 1362 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:35,800 But I really do try to like approach somebody like Stanton 1363 01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,280 with, with sensitivity because nobody wants to get hurt. 1364 01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,960 Nobody, you know, and it's easy. Oh, a bag of chips and all the 1365 01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,520 stuff and they can't get over the bottle of soda. 1366 01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,520 Do you think the guy wants to go through life like this? 1367 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,760 If Stanton was healthy, he would have forget about trying to get 1368 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,640 to 500, which he will. He would, he would have flown by 1369 01:06:56,640 --> 01:07:00,200 6. He would have flown by 600 home 1370 01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,720 runs. So, you know, get that up there 1371 01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:04,040 for me, Jay, will ya? All right, I go. 1372 01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:05,200 We're doing that at the same. Time. 1373 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:06,840 Come on. Jay's a mess today, man. 1374 01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:07,960 There we go. I'm just kidding. 1375 01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,400 At Michael. Michael Mara. 1376 01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:13,640 What up, Mike? Oh, I would take Reggie. 1377 01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:15,720 Thank you for that, by the way. I'd take Reggie over Winfield in 1378 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:20,440 your post 1980 Yankee lineup. Is Dirk evicted Dirk's 2011 NBA 1379 01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,080 Finals run the best Finals run in the last 20 years? 1380 01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,120 I mean, that's those are two very different questions. 1381 01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:29,760 I don't know. I love Dirk Nowitzki's 1382 01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:34,560 phenomenal God, he's you know, it's funny, I think in my mind, 1383 01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:39,800 right, I think that Kevin Durant is the best pure scorer in the 1384 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:41,560 history of the NBAI believe that. 1385 01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,680 I believe Dirk is second. Now I know you're going to get a 1386 01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:48,720 lot of Jordans because you think scoring you get Iverson, you 1387 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:53,720 going to get Kobe, Bernard King, if you're old enough to have 1388 01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:55,560 watched him. When I, when I, when I talk 1389 01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,360 about like old encompassing, I'm talking about 3 level score. 1390 01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,760 Now, it's not Michael's fault. You know, when he was coming up, 1391 01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:03,640 you know, Dean Smith wasn't going to let you shoot those 20 1392 01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,160 number one. There's No 3 point line that 1393 01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,960 didn't come until 87 when Michael was already a couple of 1394 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,480 years in the NBA. So he wasn't raised there. 1395 01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,560 I guarantee if Michael was coming up playing AAU now, he'd 1396 01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:16,800 be the best player but be the best shooter as well because he 1397 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:20,279 put the work in. But three level scores, you're 1398 01:08:20,279 --> 01:08:25,439 open, crush it, get to the foul line at will, pull up mid range, 1399 01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,840 deadly like Duran, and then obviously, you know, get into 1400 01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:32,479 the rim, flush and finish him. And I've got to give Carmelo 1401 01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:34,120 some love here as well. You know, I'm not the biggest 1402 01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,479 Carmelo Anthony fan in the world for a lot of reasons that, you 1403 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,279 know, basketball reasons. That's it. 1404 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,399 I'm not going to reset them now, but Carmelo's on that list too. 1405 01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,240 And so is Dirk. I mean, Dirk was such a great 1406 01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,840 scorer and and really one of The Pioneers. 1407 01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:52,319 Like, you know, if you think about the way Steph Curry helped 1408 01:08:52,319 --> 01:08:55,200 transform the game from a pure shooting prowess, like the first 1409 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,840 thing all these kids do nowadays, even even my son, you 1410 01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:02,720 know, 7-6 years old, seven years old, you walk into a gym and you 1411 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:04,600 fling one from behind. You know, you're probably 1412 01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:08,640 shooting from your your belt and you try to hit a 23 footer. 1413 01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,520 You know, most kids are air balls, but they do that because 1414 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:15,640 they watch the NBA and they see guys shooting from down 50 1415 01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:18,640 threes a night a lot more, oftentimes more in terms of 1416 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,720 combining that with both teams. So that's what they're used to. 1417 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,279 That's why, you know, a lot of kids are chasing power because 1418 01:09:24,279 --> 01:09:26,520 they see they're heroes hitting home runs. 1419 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,240 And guys who strike out aren't penalized. 1420 01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:30,680 They aren't scorned by the media. 1421 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,720 It's accepted. Oh, you hit 2:30, but you're on 1422 01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:38,000 pace or your, your OPS is 920 or 870. 1423 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,760 That's fine. No matter you struck out 182 1424 01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:41,560 times. We're fine. 1425 01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:43,600 Gave up basically 200 empty at bats. 1426 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,399 We didn't advance a runner or do anything, but we're OK with 1427 01:09:46,399 --> 01:09:47,800 that. And a lot of the young baseball 1428 01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:49,240 players kind of think that way as well. 1429 01:09:49,359 --> 01:09:51,319 So you're basically a product of what you grew up with. 1430 01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:55,160 And Steph changed the game shooting it in terms of depth 1431 01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,280 and, and just, I mean, in the in the gym range, that's where the 1432 01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:02,600 where it comes from. And Dirk and Durant to me 1433 01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:08,400 evolved that all the round, you know, all-encompassing get to my 1434 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:12,520 spot, whether it's a quick pull up like KD or fall away off one 1435 01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,880 leg with Dirk 611 seven. No, Dirk was 7 feet. 1436 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:17,800 It was 7 feet. You're not blocking it. 1437 01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:21,200 That changed a lot of the game. Now I think if you look at maybe 1438 01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:25,600 from a handle point of view, you know, maybe an AI, some other 1439 01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,600 guys that had sick handles. But yeah, I mean, just to answer 1440 01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,360 that part. All right, what do we got here? 1441 01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:33,200 T Mac was every bit as good as KDT. 1442 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,000 Mac was different than Kevin Durant. 1443 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,160 You should know that. Tracy McGrady. 1444 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:45,040 I'll give you 2 guys that I think or, you know, kind of, I 1445 01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,560 don't want to say forgotten, but certainly overlooked in the 1446 01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:50,480 pecking order, the pantheon of greatness. 1447 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,600 T Mac is one of them and the other is Penny Hardaway. 1448 01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:57,520 You know, and it's funny, I talk about prototypes here, like Dirk 1449 01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:01,200 and and and Steph as a shooter, you think about and and magic 1450 01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,800 was the true first prototype, but Penny could shoot a little 1451 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:05,560 bit as well. Shoot better magic for sure. 1452 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,080 And Penny comes in, was Penny 68? 1453 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,200 Whatever he was maybe 6-8, I think. 1454 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,240 Can you imagine if Penny and Shaq would have figured things 1455 01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:16,360 out and Shaq wasn't, you know, chasing the money and chasing 1456 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:17,720 the glitz? And I love Shaq. 1457 01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,560 I but you know, I get it. You want to you want to leave 1458 01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:21,600 Orlando. I love Orlando. 1459 01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:23,360 I've got relatives in Orlando. I love Florida. 1460 01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:25,160 He wanted something bigger. I got it. 1461 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:26,520 You know, Jerry West did his thing. 1462 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,120 I got it. He convinced him to go there. 1463 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,360 But imagine if they both bought it. 1464 01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:33,200 Same with Kobe and Shaq. They would have won more. 1465 01:11:33,440 --> 01:11:38,640 But imagine Penny and Shaq growing together with a trust 1466 01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:43,400 and a bond and a maturity and a basketball IQ and synergy and 1467 01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,320 sensibility. My goodness, yeah, Penny's a 1468 01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:49,480 guy. We, we were really deprived of, 1469 01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,080 of some amazing basketball with Penny. 1470 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:54,040 I'll throw Grant Hill out there as well. 1471 01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:58,680 You know, Grant was able to recreate kind of somewhat what 1472 01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:02,360 he was all the round killer, just a great player. 1473 01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,480 That's those who think like you didn't see those kind of players 1474 01:12:05,480 --> 01:12:09,240 when I was growing up, like you had some guys that could do a 1475 01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:11,680 little bit of everything like Bird could shoot, Bird could 1476 01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:14,800 rebound, Bird could pass. You know, Bird was an underrated 1477 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,800 defender in terms of the passing lanes, maybe not so much on the 1478 01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:20,960 ball, but he actually made a couple of all defensive teams 1479 01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:22,920 and and you don't really associate that. 1480 01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:24,800 But Bird wasn't a great athlete that he was. 1481 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:26,320 He was a subpar athlete for sure. 1482 01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:33,400 Those couple of guys like a Penny AT Mac Grant Hill 676869 1483 01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:36,360 handle, pass, finish, shoot, unbelievable. 1484 01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,640 And that's really where, you know, the globalization of the 1485 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:43,480 NBA and the the branding and the expansion going back to the 92 1486 01:12:43,480 --> 01:12:46,120 Olympic team. That's why guys like Dodge and 1487 01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:47,920 all these other foreigners come in. 1488 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,040 They're just, you know, they're they're 68. 1489 01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,200 They would have been playing power forward back in the day. 1490 01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:54,560 Now they're basically playing point guard. 1491 01:12:54,560 --> 01:13:00,720 Some of these guys at Steven Smith 4724 Philly staff's going 1492 01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:03,080 to be the best in baseball. Harrisburg, PA. 1493 01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:04,760 All right, I got you. It's going to be really, really 1494 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,960 good. And listen, ultimately, and 1495 01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:11,600 that's all the short list of, you know, contenders as I as I 1496 01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:15,760 say confidently and and but hopeful, but confidently as well 1497 01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,320 that I think the Yankees what it's all not not to start the 1498 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:19,560 year. Yanks will have the best 1499 01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:23,080 rotation of baseball because the Yankees will trot out Max Freed 1500 01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:26,760 to start and and again, it doesn't matter June July I'm 1501 01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:30,200 talking about when you get to Pennant race stretch time, 1502 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:35,400 October baseball eventually. How about a rotation with I 1503 01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:37,360 mean, I could I could symbolically put Derrick Cole 1504 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:39,920 one, but I'm not let's go with freed one. 1505 01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,640 Let's go with Garrett Cole 2 let's go let's go with 1506 01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:47,800 Schlittler 3 All right, and then let's go with a Roldan 4. 1507 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:51,200 You know, I mean there's there's I know the Phillies are really 1508 01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:52,400 good. I do like their rotation. 1509 01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:54,120 I agree with that as well. By the way, Speaking of 1510 01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,680 pitching, this is a may. I can't wait to watch Nolan 1511 01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:58,800 McLean pitch this year. So he's on the bump yesterday. 1512 01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:03,760 56 pitches, 36 strikes, right. If one walk. 1513 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,000 I think that's his last start before the WBC. 1514 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:07,000 I'm pretty sure it is. Yeah. 1515 01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,000 It's got to because it's starting what, March 3rd. 1516 01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,520 And I'm, I'm excited for the WBC judge, the captain, Corbin 1517 01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:17,400 Carroll McClain, Bryce Harper. Let's go, let's go, Team USA. 1518 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:18,680 Let's win it. That's great. 1519 01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:20,240 It's great. I do enjoy it. 1520 01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:24,360 His sinker. This is interesting to me. 1521 01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,280 So again, the numbers in the spring, whatever. 6 strikeouts, 1522 01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:28,720 one walk. OK, we know Noel Mcclain's 1523 01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:34,080 really good, but his sinker hit 97.9 mph yesterday. 1524 01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:37,040 That is that's frightening to think about. 1525 01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:38,880 You know, if Nolan McClain stays healthy. 1526 01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,800 And I was watching Sports Night last night and he was talking 1527 01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:44,400 and I remember seeing him earlier in the spring where the 1528 01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:46,280 Mets just got down to Port Saint Lucie. 1529 01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:49,000 And he was talking about like, you know, hey, what, what, what 1530 01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:50,520 are you had some experience last year? 1531 01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:52,960 Where do you go from here? What's the next step? 1532 01:14:53,440 --> 01:14:56,000 And you know, it's amazing because we talked about hitters 1533 01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:00,200 going to school or somebody like Nolan McClain, the amount of 1534 01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:03,480 school work that he did and homework in terms of spin rate 1535 01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:09,280 and arm slot and consistency stride. 1536 01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:11,440 I mean, that thing is measured to the inch man. 1537 01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,440 Like when you see, I saw something, I wish it was on my 1538 01:15:14,440 --> 01:15:15,760 phone. I would just pop it up and show 1539 01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:17,680 you there. What you know, when you say like 1540 01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:21,320 a hit chart, the spray chart, so and so 180 three hits and they 1541 01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:24,120 have every little dot, you know, home run, red, blue, single, 1542 01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:26,320 double, whatever it might be. And you get to see art. 1543 01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,000 Are they predominantly pull? Do they go the other way? 1544 01:15:29,480 --> 01:15:32,800 Are they balanced there? And, and you know, I, I love 1545 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,960 that stuff, but I don't really look at this as much. 1546 01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:38,520 I just kind of stumbled upon it. They had every of the 50 1547 01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:41,080 something pitches that Nolan McClain threw yesterday for the 1548 01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,880 Mets. They had like dots, not his arm, 1549 01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:45,480 just like a, a almost like a graph. 1550 01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:47,960 And they had all the let me just do this draw it. 1551 01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:49,320 I'm going to draw it out for you for a second. 1552 01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,400 So it kind of looked like this, right? 1553 01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:56,240 Take a second there. Now that's even bigger than than 1554 01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:58,160 it is, right? That's that's not even being 1555 01:15:58,160 --> 01:15:59,560 fair to it, but I'll just keep it moving. 1556 01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:03,840 They had something you guys see that see all those dots that is 1557 01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:07,760 representing the arm angle, the absolute spot where he released 1558 01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:09,720 the baseball, right. Sorry for that, right. 1559 01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,880 Got to get OK right there. And by the way, it was a lot 1560 01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:14,520 tighter. It almost looked like a golf 1561 01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:16,880 ball like they were that actually I did a horrible job. 1562 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:18,760 Now that I look at it, there was almost no variance. 1563 01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:24,600 It was repetition and precise exact release point, literally 1564 01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:28,400 to the 8th of an inch. And you think about it. 1565 01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:32,760 And I tell the kids this when we had practice the other day and 1566 01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,880 and this is, you know, this is good if you if you coach kids, 1567 01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:38,520 if you coach your son, your daughter, whatever what AI don't 1568 01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:41,480 have a baseball. So I'll take my my baseball like 1569 01:16:41,480 --> 01:16:42,960 globe. I have baseballs over there 1570 01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:45,120 anyway, So I got this. We'll we'll wait for the for the 1571 01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:49,400 office, right. So the move over here for you so 1572 01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:51,960 when you I was telling this to one of my players on my team 1573 01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:54,480 really, really good player plays third place second place a 1574 01:16:54,480 --> 01:16:57,240 little short, really good hitter you know one of the stars on the 1575 01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:00,640 team excellent player excellent kid and he's got a tendency. 1576 01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,440 You know, obviously you want to get it more up here bang right 1577 01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,560 every once in a while he throws the ball here and what's going 1578 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,680 to happen when you release the ball here just based on physics, 1579 01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:12,320 the ball is going to kind of go up the line. 1580 01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,840 So if you're playing third base, let's take Michette who's 1581 01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:16,560 getting, who's getting used to a new position, right? 1582 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:21,520 If he throws and his, his arm angle is almost, I don't want to 1583 01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:24,120 say going toward third base because he's not not an idiot. 1584 01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:25,880 I mean, he's a professional baseball player. 1585 01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,400 So it's going to be subtle, but the subtle, the subtleties 1586 01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,600 matter. And if you've been #1 you want 1587 01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:32,360 to have a four seam grip. So it's going to go straight 1588 01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:35,640 another two seamer. But if, if it's a little out of 1589 01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,440 slot, it's going to go up the first baseline. 1590 01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,320 And conversely, if it's a little bit the wrong way, you going to 1591 01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,240 pull it going to almost like yank it down like you would a 1592 01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:47,360 slider or a curveball, and that's going to go toward right 1593 01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:49,400 field. So when it when it gets away 1594 01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:52,880 from you from a righty throne is going to go that way versus that 1595 01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:53,480 way. All right. 1596 01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:57,680 And I mean, obviously Nolan McClain knows that. 1597 01:17:57,680 --> 01:17:59,920 But I mean, it was, I mean, I'm geeking out here. 1598 01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:04,120 But it was fascinating to me to see that little speck of dot, 1599 01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:08,480 like it was barely decipherable that there were 54 little dots 1600 01:18:08,480 --> 01:18:09,760 there. It literally looked like a 1601 01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:12,000 little ball. I'm like, Oh my God. 1602 01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:16,920 And the amount of attention to detail frame by frame and the 1603 01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:20,640 physics and the analytics department, that's how these 1604 01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,760 young players operate, man, it's crazy. 1605 01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:26,400 So when people protest some of the Ogs, and I guess I'm an OG 1606 01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:32,000 by at this point, I guess you know, the, the older baseball 1607 01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:35,680 fans, not all of them, because I don't protest the, the, you 1608 01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:39,000 know, the invasion of, of analytics and the analytics 1609 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,320 overtaking the game. And I do push back with certain 1610 01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,600 things. Launch angle I can't stand, but 1611 01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:49,280 the the the like this, this is the only thing that they know 1612 01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:53,080 Like, and in five years there'll be less pushback. 1613 01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:55,560 In 10 years there'll be less pushback. 1614 01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:57,600 In 20 years there'll be no pushback. 1615 01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:03,360 I think inside of 20 years, 0 pushback at Charlie F6675 Yep, 1616 01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:05,280 Jays rotation. I know, I know, I know. 1617 01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:07,320 That's a good rotation as well. I mean, I'm not really worried 1618 01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:09,000 about Max Scherzer. I'm not really worried about 1619 01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,160 Barrios either. Barrios pardon me then. 1620 01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:13,600 No, it's not right there with the Yanks are better. 1621 01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:15,800 What? It's not because what happened 1622 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,920 last year was that two games that the Yankees, well, first of 1623 01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:21,880 all, Max Free got lit up #2 Toronto was better. 1624 01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,600 So I'm not going to, you know, mess around there. 1625 01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,960 Toronto was better. They were a better lineup and 1626 01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,000 made more contact and they just played better and they kicked 1627 01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,400 the shit out of the Yankees all year, regular season, 1628 01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,440 postseason. But last year the Yankees gave 1629 01:19:36,440 --> 01:19:39,280 the baseball to and I like Rhodon and I believe in Rhodon. 1630 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,080 He's good, but he did not pitch ball against it and Louis Hill 1631 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:44,080 got lit up and Max Freed was awful. 1632 01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:46,560 I mean, so you'd have to think even though Freed had a 1633 01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:49,600 horrendous playoff performance with the Braves as well, but so 1634 01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:51,840 did Gerrit Cole against the Red Sox and the wild card back in 1635 01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:53,600 the day. It it's going to happen just 1636 01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:55,920 like a star, like Judge is going to go one for 17. 1637 01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:57,840 It's baseball. There's a there's a high rate of 1638 01:19:57,840 --> 01:19:59,840 failure. But this year, and that's why 1639 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:02,360 I'm excited about the Yankees rotation at the end of the year 1640 01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,520 when Cole gets reps and he come, he's already hit 97 on the gun, 1641 01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:08,760 by the way, so. They're going to have to hit 1642 01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:10,280 more, more benchmarks than they will. 1643 01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:13,000 I think Eric Cole's going to be, I think Eric Cole's going to be 1644 01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:14,040 Eric Cole. I just do. 1645 01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,680 And instead of giving the baseball to Louise Hill, whether 1646 01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:20,160 it's up in Toronto or in Detroit or in Fenway or, you know, up in 1647 01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:23,920 Boston or down in Baltimore, you know, Pete's there and they they 1648 01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:26,160 made some moves as well. They should be better than they 1649 01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,040 were last year. The Dodgers in the World Series, 1650 01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:31,280 the Phillies in the World Series, the Mets in the World 1651 01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:33,520 Series, the Padres in the World Series, whatever. 1652 01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,520 I don't know if I said the Braves, the Braves in the World 1653 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:37,840 Series, you're not giving the baseball to Louis Hill. 1654 01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,040 You just not he might be coming out of the pet. 1655 01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,560 And if Louis Hill is getting the baseball, then something 1656 01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:46,440 seriously went wrong with the Yankees ability to get healthy 1657 01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,760 and to have that that rotation that I think will be the best in 1658 01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:51,040 baseball. That's what I think. 1659 01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,280 All right, let me see. What do we got here? 1660 01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:55,120 Got to put on the the OG glasses. 1661 01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:57,160 BT any faith in the Knicks tonight? 1662 01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:00,480 I see Brunson going off for 30. Yeah, I mean, whatever. 1663 01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:05,040 I I've always got hope for the Knicks Like, but like the way 1664 01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:07,120 that they've looked. Let me see if I could pop this 1665 01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:07,560 up here. Hold on. 1666 01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:08,880 Let me just look at this for a SEC. 1667 01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:10,480 I'm gonna start wrapping things up. 1668 01:21:10,480 --> 01:21:13,480 Let me see. Got to AG, got to LeBron. 1669 01:21:13,480 --> 01:21:17,280 Nicks hit a little Stanton hit a little Noah McClain hit a little 1670 01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,360 Sunny Styles. No rules Friday. 1671 01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:20,920 Got a bunch of texts. Yeah, I think we're humming 1672 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:23,320 pretty good. Let me just I want to I want to 1673 01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:25,760 have this as an exact. I know the Rockets game and then 1674 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:27,280 the Bulls game. I just want to look at one more 1675 01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:27,840 thing here. Hold on. 1676 01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:33,040 All right, All right, hold on. Yeah, All right, I I know 1677 01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:34,720 they're playing the Bucks. I don't need that and I need the 1678 01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:36,480 next schedule. All right, so here we go. 1679 01:21:36,480 --> 01:21:41,240 All right, all right. So obviously, I mean, the 1680 01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:43,240 Pistons game was a disaster. You know that. 1681 01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:46,680 Then great comeback down 18 or 19 against the Rockets. 1682 01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:49,480 That was fun. Alvarado at the end and Brunson 1683 01:21:49,480 --> 01:21:51,320 hitting clutch shots, really fun. 1684 01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:53,880 Just a great game. And then I know the Bulls stink, 1685 01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:56,760 but they showed character next day, you know, getting on a 1686 01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:59,320 plane, going out to Chicago. You know, it was a pro. 1687 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:01,440 It was a professional win. Like, they they found a way to 1688 01:22:01,440 --> 01:22:03,760 get the job done. I'm not going to criticize them. 1689 01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:05,520 And Oh, that's right. And then the Cavaliers 1690 01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:08,120 absolutely stomped them out. I mean, yeah. 1691 01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:10,680 I mean, I think it'll be. I don't think they're going to 1692 01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:12,720 destroy the Bucks. I I don't even think Giannis is 1693 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:14,560 playing tonight. I don't think. 1694 01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:17,720 I mean, you should win. I mean, jeez, I mean, what the 1695 01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,800 hell, man. Come on. 1696 01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:24,400 By the by the way, J Rod, I want to know what the plans are for 1697 01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:26,840 the weekend here. Stanton's going to get to 500 1698 01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:28,160 home runs and then the Hall of Fame. 1699 01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:30,680 There is not a chance in hell the Yanks retirement is number 1700 01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:31,800 stop. I mean, I'm going to get you 1701 01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:33,840 know, well, you know what I was going to say I'm not reading 1702 01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:35,560 anymore, but it looks like your next point is kind of an 1703 01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:37,880 agreement with me. It's getting out of hand. 1704 01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:41,120 A rod deserves to have his number retired way more than CCI 1705 01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:44,280 agree with that. If not, just take down the O 9 1706 01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:46,320 banner. Yeah, I mean, obviously what's 1707 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:49,480 going on with the Yankees and a rod is petty or really the 1708 01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,440 Yankees toward a rod, not Alex toward them. 1709 01:22:51,440 --> 01:22:53,120 That's on the Yankees more than it's on Alex. 1710 01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:56,840 So I don't have an issue with C like I didn't see that when I 1711 01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:58,400 saw the news. I didn't say like, wow, they're 1712 01:22:58,480 --> 01:23:00,720 they're they were tyrant C CS number. 1713 01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,000 I didn't have that reaction because CC was a beast. 1714 01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:07,480 He also did a lot of great things for other teams and he 1715 01:23:07,480 --> 01:23:10,120 should be a Hall of Famer and Yankees wouldn't have won the 1716 01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:11,400 old nine World Series without him. 1717 01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,800 We all know that, right. But I do think that we've 1718 01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:16,800 lowered the bar a little bit. I I do. 1719 01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,600 I mean, you know, Paul O'Neill is one of my favorite all time 1720 01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:24,360 players. I don't know, I didn't really 1721 01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:27,960 feel that as much. I just feel like when somebody 1722 01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:31,560 retires a number, you, you just, you watch. 1723 01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,480 You know, I remember when the Yank, when the pardon me with 1724 01:23:34,480 --> 01:23:37,840 the Knicks, raised Ewing's number to the rafters. 1725 01:23:38,440 --> 01:23:44,080 I was working in Las Vegas when he came back to the Garden as a 1726 01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:47,480 Sonic in that hideous Saskatchewan. 1727 01:23:47,480 --> 01:23:51,880 I don't know, snow creature thing, Chewbacca, you know what 1728 01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:54,960 that they like what that mascot was the green uniform got Pat. 1729 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:56,880 I mean, Gary Payton looked good in green. 1730 01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,120 You know, Sean Kim, deadlift shrimp, you know, guys like 1731 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,760 that. Dale Ellis, you know, Patrick 1732 01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:03,960 did not look good in that uniform. 1733 01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:05,080 That was not a good look for Pat. 1734 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,880 Neither was the Magic one. But anyway, I'm living in Vegas 1735 01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:09,680 and I remember my my boys were going out. 1736 01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:12,440 Nope, I'll meet you out. Patrick's coming back to the 1737 01:24:12,440 --> 01:24:14,760 garden then. That was, that meant a lot. 1738 01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,160 And then when he came back to the garden, had the number 1739 01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:19,480 retired. I think that was O3, I think. 1740 01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,120 And I was working in Detroit and it was a national game. 1741 01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,720 And I remember sitting on my couch and I had tears in my 1742 01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:28,760 eyes. I'm like, man, I wish we could 1743 01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:33,200 have won one for you. Pat, my guy, love #33 jeez. 1744 01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:37,000 Like that's what you're supposed to feel when a number goes up 1745 01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,320 there. It's it's got to be the highest 1746 01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:42,120 level of sacred achievement. And I feel, and not just the 1747 01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:45,640 Yankees, but I feel like we've diluted it over time. 1748 01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:49,240 First of all, the grand standard, the standard bearer 1749 01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:52,360 for greatness, literally the Baseball Hall of Fame, the 1750 01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:56,520 museum, they they started this Harold Baines, even a guy like 1751 01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,840 Bijio, I know he's got the 3000 hits, but Don Sutton, Burr 1752 01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:03,400 Blilevin, like, I come on, man, I got to look out there. 1753 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:07,680 I got to see Mike Schmidt.

He's a great family man. 1768 01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:52,200 He's got sons of big time ball players. 1769 01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,560 He's he's he's a real 1C CS a dude, man. 1770 01:25:55,640 --> 01:26:01,720 I really, I love CC and I but when I saw that I, I didn't, it 1771 01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:03,960 didn't resonate with me the way it did for some others. 1772 01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:07,400 I just remember being a kid. All right, cracking the day 1773 01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:09,400 again here. I remember being a kid and like 1774 01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:13,840 watching Yankee Old Timer's Day and seeing the Mick come out and 1775 01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:17,280 Yogi and Whitey and even Don Larson. 1776 01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:19,560 Now, Don Larson wasn't that kind of player, but you know, the 1777 01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:21,200 perfect game in the World Series. 1778 01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:23,240 Like, wow, Oh my, that's the guy that I read about. 1779 01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:23,880 Look at him.

More No than yes. 1787 01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:46,520 Like O'Neill. Like one or two others, maybe 3. 1788 01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,760 It's getting a lot of hand.

Exactly. 1813 01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:45,560 And then you get to play on the courts they have there, like the 1814 01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:48,920 basketball Hall of Fame courts. Sometimes they have like AAU or 1815 01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:50,680 like high school games going on there. 1816 01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:52,800 So cool spot. I mean, you get to see all the 1817 01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,920 jerseys, nothing, you know, insane, but it's like an 1818 01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:58,160 interactive thing. Definitely good for like kids 1819 01:27:58,160 --> 01:27:59,920 for sure. If I ask you what's your 1820 01:27:59,920 --> 01:28:01,760 favorite all time throwback jersey? 1821 01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:02,960 Any team? What is it? 1822 01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:06,160 Anything jump out? I'm thinking Vancouver 1823 01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,280 Grizzlies. You like those? 1824 01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:10,200 Oh, I thought. They were so clean. 1825 01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:11,200 Go ahead, go ahead, go. Ahead. 1826 01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:13,360 I like that one. Old. 1827 01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:17,480 The did like the Timberwolves, have a good Yeah, like the KG 1828 01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:19,280 Timberwolves. Those were pretty tight. 1829 01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:23,400 I love the Grant Hill Pistons. I hated those. 1830 01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:25,800 I hated those. OK, wait, wait, wait. 1831 01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:26,880 The teal ones. The. 1832 01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,920 Teal ones and the white ones, and then I'm gonna throw, I'm 1833 01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:34,280 gonna throw a crazy, crazy one for maybe my old time favorite. 1834 01:28:34,440 --> 01:28:36,440 They're pretty hideous. Yeah, good answers. 1835 01:28:36,440 --> 01:28:38,120 By the way, look at J Rod stepping up. 1836 01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:38,680 Nice. What? 1837 01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:40,640 This is where you're going to get me hyped up. 1838 01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:43,360 Again, I love it. Talking old time jerseys. 1839 01:28:43,440 --> 01:28:46,440 Let's go man. The Gilbert Arenas O 7. 1840 01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:49,280 This one's ugly gold Wizards jersey. 1841 01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:50,960 I remember those. I remember those. 1842 01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:52,360 They're like, they're just different. 1843 01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:53,680 Yeah, Yeah. I didn't think you were going to 1844 01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:54,760 say that. Listen, it's your opinion. 1845 01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:56,480 I respect it. Some of those are really good 1846 01:28:56,480 --> 01:28:59,240 ones. I like the now the Bullets, the 1847 01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:01,320 when they were still the Bullets back of the day, the Washington 1848 01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:03,440 Bullets and the first the Baltimore Bullets and then 1849 01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:05,240 Washington Bullets and then the Washington Wizards. 1850 01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:08,560 Like the Wizards jerseys are wack, but when they bust out the 1851 01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:11,320 the red, white and blue ones that were emblematic of the old 1852 01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:14,280 Bullets ones, I love those. I'll tell you what, there was a 1853 01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:16,880 version the other night when the Knicks play the Cavs. 1854 01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:20,440 They were a little more orange than usual, so they weren't the 1855 01:29:20,440 --> 01:29:24,320 exact replication, but I'm going to throw some like Mark Price, 1856 01:29:24,480 --> 01:29:28,560 Craig ELO, Ronnie, Ron Harper, and the orange ones, the orange 1857 01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:30,320 ones. Yeah, those are classic. 1858 01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:32,240 Those were tight. I'll give you a couple of 1859 01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:34,280 baseball ones. I like the old Seattle Mariners 1860 01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:37,440 with the pitchfork. Like the early, early days, like 1861 01:29:37,440 --> 01:29:39,160 the late, well, late 70s, early 80s. 1862 01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:42,440 Those were pretty sweet. I mean, the Yankees have the 1863 01:29:42,440 --> 01:29:44,240 best uniform in sports. They just deal with the pitch 1864 01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:45,800 stripes. What else? 1865 01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:47,480 What else? I just don't we could we could 1866 01:29:47,480 --> 01:29:50,240 do a show on this. I just I just didn't like the 1867 01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:52,400 now you're talking the Grizzlies. 1868 01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:55,720 Well, Sharif Abdur Rahim, that kind of like that era. 1869 01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:58,360 Definitely I can see it. I just didn't love it. 1870 01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:00,320 I didn't know. What about the Raptors, did you? 1871 01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:02,800 Did you like the Raptor? The purple like the Vince Carter 1872 01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:04,680 Raptors, definitely. With the dinosaur. 1873 01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:08,720 Yeah, yeah, dude, I see. That's The thing is just like I 1874 01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:11,880 think I'm a fan of those like 90s jerseys with like the kind 1875 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:14,160 of corny emblems on them. Like I think they're they're 1876 01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:16,960 just very emblematic of the time period. 1877 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:18,360 Yeah, very childish. I agree. 1878 01:30:18,480 --> 01:30:19,880 Yeah, exactly. Exactly. 1879 01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:22,320 Oh. Man, that's good stuff. 1880 01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:25,520 You love the VC? Yeah, yeah, I got one more you 1881 01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:27,760 want to throw out before we get the the weekend plans here. 1882 01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:32,800 Let's. Go OK, like 60s, not like 1883 01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:36,280 Minneapolis Lakers or anything like that, but like when the 1884 01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:42,320 Lakers maybe that early 2000s O 4 Lakers Pistons finals type 1885 01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:43,920 yellow and purple where they were just. 1886 01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:46,040 Like. They were very strong. 1887 01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:48,000 Yeah, they were, they were more, they were brighter. 1888 01:30:48,040 --> 01:30:50,680 They they popped more time. I, I those were sweet. 1889 01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:54,000 And yeah, when you say the Pistons, I, I that just remember 1890 01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,480 I worked in Detroit and we were begging them to go back to the 1891 01:30:56,480 --> 01:30:58,760 old logo, which they used now and then. 1892 01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:01,760 They they, yes. And they eventually did. 1893 01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:04,440 I just never liked like the carburetor. 1894 01:31:04,440 --> 01:31:06,600 I understood what they were going for symbolic. 1895 01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:08,880 I didn't like, did not like that at all. 1896 01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:11,360 Definitely. Cleaner now, I'll say like, NBA 1897 01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:15,040 jerseys certainly have a greater, like minimal approach, 1898 01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:16,160 I feel like. Today, you know what? 1899 01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:17,840 That's that's, that's a pretty good observation. 1900 01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:19,280 I agree. They were very cluttered for a 1901 01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:23,520 while and I think you have to make a case that the Seattle 1902 01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:26,280 SuperSonics jerseys are about as clean as it gets, man. 1903 01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:29,200 Yeah, they were gorgeous. And like they probably had the 1904 01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:31,240 coolest, you know, like that, the Space Needle. 1905 01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:34,000 Such a cool logo so. Yeah, well, no, no, I'm even 1906 01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:35,960 talking about I, I don't, I don't love the needle. 1907 01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:39,400 I'm talking about even like the like the white with like Xavier 1908 01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:42,600 McDaniel. Oh yeah, yeah, with like the 1909 01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,080 white and the green stack on it, yes. 1910 01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:48,000 Yeah, Gary Payton rocked the camp, you know, for a little bit 1911 01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:49,800 and and I'll blow your mind here. 1912 01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,000 So I mentioned earlier we talked about, you know, the NBA, 1913 01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:53,440 whatever, some some basketball stuff. 1914 01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:55,960 And when I was doing the Knicks pre and post game stuff for a 1915 01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:58,760 bunch of years and the halftime show, Gus was calling the games 1916 01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:02,400 with John Andres Love John, his wife actually texted me the 1917 01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:04,320 other day. She's beautiful, beautiful 1918 01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:06,560 family. John was loved that guy. 1919 01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:08,680 And like John really showed me the ropes. 1920 01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:11,800 I remember getting on the team playing for the first time and 1921 01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:15,920 John saying in a very stately voice, OK, Brandon, and not like 1922 01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:17,440 talking down to me, really trying to help me. 1923 01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:19,800 OK, Brandon, this is this is where we sit. 1924 01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:22,120 And you know, we don't go back toward the players and the code. 1925 01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:24,880 Like give me the lay of the land a little bit like, yeah, get on 1926 01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:26,320 the first bus, not the second bus. 1927 01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:30,080 So anyway, I'm in, I'm in Seattle. 1928 01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:33,120 This this will blow your mind and I want you to look it up. 1929 01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:35,640 Yeah, I want you to look it up before we get out of here. 1930 01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:38,720 I'm going to say that the year was O 5:00. 1931 01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:41,600 I could be off on the year, all right. 1932 01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:45,840 Kevin Durant's rookie year was with the Sonics before they 1933 01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:47,840 moved to. In O 7. 1934 01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:51,800 Was it that late? Yeah, he got drafted in O7. 1935 01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:53,840 There you go. All right, OK, there you go. 1936 01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:54,800 Good correction. Thank you. 1937 01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:59,160 And so I guess it was O 7 and like the way the Knicks 1938 01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:01,240 broadcast team, even though I was doing the pre the post in 1939 01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:04,240 the half and they had all their their real play by play guys. 1940 01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:08,160 I think Crispino was doing boxing, Kenny Albert was Marv 1941 01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:11,600 was gone. Kenny had Rangers just had some 1942 01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:13,640 national thing. So they knew I did St. 1943 01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:16,160 John's. They're like, hey, you know, we 1944 01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:17,400 think you can do the job. You can. 1945 01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:19,960 We think you could fill in. So I wound up doing like 11 Nick 1946 01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:21,360 play by play games. Wow. 1947 01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:24,560 Yeah, yeah. Like I went to Atlanta. 1948 01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:26,760 I went to Seattle. I'll finish that story in a 1949 01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:30,800 second. Philly, Houston against the 1950 01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:32,160 Rockets. It was it was amazing. 1951 01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:34,640 I don't I don't think it was particularly good, but it was 1952 01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:37,120 humbling and awesome and just Milwaukee. 1953 01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:38,640 I did a game against the Bucks in Milwaukee. 1954 01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:43,680 So we're I'm doing the Sonics game against the Knicks and 1955 01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:47,800 Kevin Durant hit a game winner. I don't think it was a three. 1956 01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:51,320 I'm almost positive it was a longest jump shot and it may 1957 01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:53,280 have even been overtime to beat the Knicks. 1958 01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:56,760 So they only play twice a year. This should be a pretty easy box 1959 01:33:56,760 --> 01:34:01,000 score to find. So go to O 7 Knicks Sonics, find 1960 01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:04,160 the game in Seattle that was like Marbury and those guys were 1961 01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:08,480 on that team. Kevin Durant iced it and won it. 1962 01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:11,920 I I think it was at the buzzer and if it was like a tick or two 1963 01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:15,800 before. What's coming up TDIH Kevin? 1964 01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:18,240 Ugly arena, by the way. Ugly arena. 1965 01:34:18,760 --> 01:34:20,960 Ugly arena, bro. Key arena. 1966 01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:23,880 He was on. He was on Seattle. 1967 01:34:24,480 --> 01:34:26,720 On Seattle and it went over the Knicks. 1968 01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:30,080 Yep so 2000 and it had to be 7 because the next year I believe 1969 01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:32,880 they moved to OKCI. Only did one game in Seattle. 1970 01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:36,040 It was his rookie year. This must be a deep cut because 1971 01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:39,440 I am not. I mean, I'm seeing one against. 1972 01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:42,240 Based on historical records from Kevin Durant's, he led the 1973 01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:45,720 Seattle SuperSonics to a victory over the Knicks with a crucial 1974 01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:48,120 performance on February 2nd, 2008. 1975 01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:51,160 The Seattle SuperSonics won 86 to 85 there. 1976 01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:53,440 That has to be That's the game. Yeah, yeah, that's the game. 1977 01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:56,400 No, but no over overtime, right? No overtime. 1978 01:34:56,440 --> 01:34:59,040 That's the game. That 8685. 1979 01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:01,560 God, I'd love to hear my call. That must have been horrible. 1980 01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:05,360 I was just figuring things out. Pull it up somehow. 1981 01:35:05,480 --> 01:35:07,400 I don't know that you can. I wish that you could. 1982 01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:09,520 Well, maybe I wish you can. It's probably pretty bad. 1983 01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:11,280 All right, hit me with the plans real quick. 1984 01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:12,720 I got to run.

But my night tonight is going to 2032 01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:11,320 be different. Awesome kind of special. 2033 01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:13,560 So it's just me and my daughter for a couple days, right? 2034 01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:17,640 She's got softball practice.

And they're younger too, so 2043 01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:39,760 that's kind of surprising. Like that's good that they're 2044 01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:41,680 not like picky about it or anything like. 2045 01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:44,760 No, no, they eat it. They, they started with sushi, 2046 01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:45,960 like because they wanted the rice. 2047 01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:49,240 And now it's certainly my son is more into the sashimi, which is 2048 01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:52,320 as you know, without the rice. You know, he like I'll get, I 2049 01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:54,760 mean, obviously salmon and whitetail and some of the 2050 01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:56,840 basics, but I'll get fluke. I'll get some other stuff too. 2051 01:37:57,120 --> 01:37:59,720 He doesn't really like the fluke, you know, and she's kind 2052 01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:03,280 of more like California rolls and salmon and and salmon. 2053 01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:06,280 But she in her mind, she's because we'll also get sometimes 2054 01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:09,680 like if we order in sushi, which we do once a week, she'll she 2055 01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:12,640 still thinks that because it comes from the sushi restaurant 2056 01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:16,480 that like chicken and broccoli or, or fried rice is sushi. 2057 01:38:16,680 --> 01:38:20,040 I'm like, no, that, that that's chicken and that's rice and the 2058 01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:24,120 fish not cooked is sushi. So I got that going on tonight. 2059 01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:26,360 I can't wait. And then my parents are coming 2060 01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:28,560 in.

That's actually a different 2089 01:39:34,280 --> 01:39:37,200 conversation for youth sports. But you date literally you're 2090 01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:40,680 watching on the perfect game and perfect game's the best. 2091 01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:43,560 But you're looking on the website or on on the on the app, 2092 01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:46,280 obviously on the phone and it'll say like, you know, Joe, Joe, 2093 01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:47,720 Joe Smith. I was going to say Joe Schmo, 2094 01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:52,520 Joe Smith, 63 mile per hour fastball and then you know, 49 2095 01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:55,640 mile per hour change up like it literally immediately every 2096 01:39:55,640 --> 01:39:58,240 single 1 immediately it deciphers immediately. 2097 01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:00,680 It's it's crazy. So that's that's that's what I 2098 01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:01,920 got going. I got to do a couple things 2099 01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:03,640 around the house. I want to squeeze in a workout 2100 01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:06,520 today because I'll be busy tonight and tomorrow with my 2101 01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:08,400 daughter J Rod.

So don't just keep your nose 2109 01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:27,960 planted in the pool table tonight. 2110 01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,080 Make sure you look up and take stock of what's around you 2111 01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:31,080 buddy. Got to. 2112 01:40:32,440 --> 01:40:35,320 Trust me, from somebody who who's been there, you got to 2113 01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:39,240 Pool's not going away, bud. The pool's there forever, but 2114 01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:41,480 that's right. Are you good or the fish? 2115 01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:44,200 May I am? Awful. 2116 01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:47,600 I'm awful. I feel so bad. 2117 01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:51,240 You're doing funny again. So I start. 2118 01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:53,360 I mean, I started two months ago maybe. 2119 01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:56,680 So I'm. I'm fresh, I'm fresh, but I've 2120 01:40:56,680 --> 01:41:00,160 got a buddy, the guy you know my friend who donated the other day 2121 01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:05,120 who sent the Super chat and he started same time and he is 2122 01:41:05,120 --> 01:41:07,600 disgusting. Like he last week. 2123 01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:09,960 I mean him and I, we went on like a six. 2124 01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:13,080 We ran a table for like 3 hours. We did like a six game win 2125 01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:14,040 streak. But. 2126 01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:18,120 I had a couple closers in there, but it was a, you know, he was 2127 01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:19,680 hitting some nasty shots, but yeah. 2128 01:41:20,480 --> 01:41:22,720 Carried the male. Yeah, definitely, I was. 2129 01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:26,040 I describe it, he was like LeBron in that game seven. 2130 01:41:26,040 --> 01:41:28,720 I was Kyrie Irving. Like, well, that was kind of the 2131 01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:31,280 way. Well, I mean, I mean, it sounds 2132 01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:32,840 like you were more like the 8th man. 2133 01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:34,760 Kyrie Irving's a little bit ambitious. 2134 01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:38,560 There maybe like Iman Shumpert. That's, that's what I'm looking 2135 01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:41,400 for. I'm not, I'm not very good 2136 01:41:41,520 --> 01:41:43,040 either. You know, I'm OK. 2137 01:41:43,040 --> 01:41:45,000 I'm not going to overstate it. I'm really I'm much better in 2138 01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:48,240 darts and I'm and I play a lot of ping pong like I'd rather 2139 01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:52,440 play ping pong for an hour and and throw darts then not that I 2140 01:41:52,440 --> 01:41:54,440 don't enjoy pool, but I'm not I'm not great. 2141 01:41:54,920 --> 01:41:56,120 I'm not great in Pool.
