Won't you guys figure it out? 32 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,760 It's easy. But Jay, Rod is going to tell 33 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,280 you right now how you guys could call the show. 34 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,640 We'll get calls early, obviously. 35 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,280 Go ahead, Jay. Yeah, absolutely. 36 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,240 So do it same exact way as we did last time. 37 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,520 We'll have the link in both the description. 38 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,320 I also just threw it in the chat so you can see it there as well. 39 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,600 You click that link, you're going to see me in a backstage 40 00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,160 in in the App Stream yard. Once you're there, you'll talk 41 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,680 to me, give me your name, where you're from, I'll send you 42 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,640 another link to this studio and we'll toss you up. 43 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,560 Yeah, it sounds, you know, if you're new to it, it sounds like 44 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,240 a little convoluted, but it I was, I was nervous isn't the 45 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,520 right word. You know, I expected a couple of 46 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,760 missteps, but there really weren't any of like it was, it's 47 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,640 actually really seamless. So the calls were great. 48 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,760 What? What do we take about 12 to 15 49 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,880 on Friday? Yeah, it was something around 50 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,480 that. Yeah, definitely went through 51 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,440 them all. And yeah, dude, they were just, 52 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,680 it was very funny. Just, you know, seeing where 53 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,600 everyone's calling in from. Yeah. 54 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,080 But also like just hearing their quotes, hearing their questions. 55 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,320 I thought it was great. Yeah, and listen, it adds juice 56 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,960 to the show. Man, that's the one thing that I 57 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,320 thought was missing. I could provide juice, you know, 58 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,840 as much as anybody, but it's the banter, it's the resistance, 59 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,160 it's the give and take That that that was like one of the last 60 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,120 things that I wanted to add. I told you guys we were going to 61 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,280 do it. So we started on Friday. 62 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,440 If you called it on Friday. Thank you for that and obviously 63 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,680 you have a chance to do it again today. 64 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,320 All right, let's get into the show here and every day on BT 65 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,000 UNLEASH.

Let me give you a heads up on 73 00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:03,120 this as well. So tomorrow night will be 74 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,000 episode #5 of The Jets Collective, the final pre draft 75 00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:10,360 conversation and show. It's an hour long, it's myself, 76 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,200 it's Rich Samini, it is Jake Asmin having a blast so far. 77 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,400 Really honored to be a part of this. 78 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,160 Really fun that they put this together. 79 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,520 It's a great collaboration. So that's right. 80 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,160 And by the way, Jake is going to be in Pittsburgh, so he'll 81 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,640 obviously bring you some, you know, on the boots or a boots on 82 00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:30,480 the ground kind of feel. And Rich has been covering The 83 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,400 Jets for basically 3540 years. Nobody's as piped in as he is. 84 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,400 So that will be tomorrow at 8. All right, man, there's so much 85 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,240 to do today. It's like I figured I'm going to 86 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,520 be starting with Dexter Lawrence like, but I but I got to push 87 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,280 that to the side a little bit. Wow, the New York Mets. 88 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:55,440 OK, listen, I I do think that it's get worse. 89 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,960 I guess it could, you can, you can lose a couple of games with 90 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,880 the Twins. So you could just lose 14 in a 91 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,520 row. I mean, I don't know what 92 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,800 boundaries the jet, the the, the the The Jets, the Mets Vadnais 93 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,120 will will take on this year. I don't know. 94 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,960 You know, I'm, I'm stunned that it's this bad. 95 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,680 I mean, 11 losses in a row is pathetic. 96 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,560 It's unacceptable. It's beyond embarrassing. 97 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,160 Like the Mets are it it in one in one swooping basically two 98 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,120 week run. The Mets are back to being the 99 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,160 Mets. The Mets are back to being a 100 00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:36,280 joke. The Mets are a doormat. 101 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,880 The Mets are a disaster. And right now the Mets on every 102 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,080 level appear to be broken. Now, now, listen, guys, there's 103 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,880 so many different ways to attack this. 104 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,720 I'm going to, I'm going to be the adult in the room here, all 105 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,720 right? And, yeah, I mean, they are a 106 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,000 punch line right now. And you've got Met fans fleeing 107 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,560 for the Yankees. You know, ever since the mayor 108 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,640 of New York hugged Mr. and misses Met. 109 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,960 I mean, the Mets haven't won a game. 110 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,480 I mean, they're, they're it's it's it's ridiculous what's 111 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,040 going on with these Mets here. But there are two aspects #1 the 112 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,960 baseball point of view and #2 the emotional point of view. 113 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,720 So do I think the baseball parts going to get better? 114 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,280 I mean, of course I do. It's got to start with Juan Soto 115 00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:25,200 getting healthy and Juan Soto getting back in the slide of #1 116 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,160 now I, I, I, I liked what the Mets did this offseason. 117 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,840 So I'm, I'm going to remain a little bit more married to their 118 00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:35,800 prospects of punching out of this then maybe some. 119 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,640 I thought it was really time for the Mets to blow up their their 120 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,760 core. They weren't winning anything. 121 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,920 They were uninspiring. They just, they weren't very 122 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,600 connected. They, they just weren't good 123 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,560 enough. They had a long runway to prove 124 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,840 that the core was championship worthy. 125 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,800 They battled, they tried, they fought every once in a while. 126 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,960 They messed around. Then they made a move where they 127 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,200 made you think, OK, maybe this group's going to do it. 128 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,880 And then the bottom fell out and then wholesale changes came. 129 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,720 So I actually thought that most of the moves were were pretty 130 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,120 good. Like when they got Louise 131 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,640 Robert, I'm like, OK, I could see that. 132 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:17,040 Where they got Bichette, I loved it when they got Polanco. 133 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,480 Now Polanco was like, I think I literally think that that was 134 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,640 the first move. And I was like, woof, is this 135 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,080 like, is this the kind of offseason we're going for and 136 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,920 start nickel and diming like the old days? 137 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,120 But when you saw the other stuff that they did, I'm like, OK, I 138 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,280 get it. A little more contact rate. 139 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:34,240 Former middle infielder, he should be able to play first 140 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,320 baseball now. He's not healthy and Soto's not 141 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,400 healthy and Bichette's a disaster and the door's a mess. 142 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,280 And Simeon looks washed. And Louise Roberts been good, 143 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,480 but you know, not great, but good. 144 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,960 Like there's really one or two Mets who were playing well. 145 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,880 So you'd have to think that that's going to to get better. 146 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,800 I mean, I was looking at some of Bichette's numbers. 147 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,280 This is ridiculous. Like if it stays like this, then 148 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,000 they're going to look like the 62 Mets. 149 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,640 Like then that's never going to rectify itself. 150 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,160 But it's not going to stay like this. 151 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,560 So it's going to get better. The question only is, will it 152 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,320 get better to the point where it's going to satisfy everybody? 153 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,080 And that's where I'm leaning more no than yes, obviously. 154 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,800 I mean, I don't care how long the baseball season is. 155 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,240 I don't care how early it is in a baseball season, you don't 156 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,200 lose 11 straight games unless you have problems everywhere. 157 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,080 You know, whether it's the starters, Sanga, who's I would 158 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,680 ship him out. I mean, Sanga, if it's not like 159 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,240 a test tube, Perfect conditions for Kodai Sanga. 160 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,240 Kodai Sanga just doesn't seem to have the stomach to get it done. 161 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,720 I mean, he's atrocious, you know, and then you finally get a 162 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,400 lead yesterday and, you know, Devin Williams flushes it right 163 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,600 down the chute. You miss play a ball in right 164 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,560 field. You don't walk somebody, you 165 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,640 don't walk Nico Horner. That the explanation by Carlos 166 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,320 Mendoza was ridiculous. All right, So all these issues 167 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,400 that are facing the Mets, don't you think that maybe the worst 168 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,320 one, Bichette, don't you think that this is going to get 169 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,080 better? He's on base percentage is 255. 170 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:12,280 What is the Anthony Volpe all of a sudden, 255, which is 170th in 171 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,680 baseball. That's an aberration to his 172 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,240 career. Not like he's 24 like the 173 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,800 Anthos, right? Or yeah, he's had one good year. 174 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,680 You don't really know who he is. Beau Bouchet is a killer. 175 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,920 Beau Bouchet is clutch, and Beau Bouchet is a gamer. 176 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,840 So what you seeing right now is not Beau Bouchet. 177 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,720 It's going to get better. His slugging percentage is 280, 178 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:40,200 three, 159th best in baseball, and his OPS is 538, which is 179 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,919 165, fifth in baseball. He's making $42 million a year. 180 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,520 See, the problem is, it's not just that the Mets are 181 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,120 floundering and that they're languishing and that they looked 182 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,440 either disinterested or disconnected or a little bit of 183 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,400 both. The big problem is, all right, 184 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:04,800 is that the general manager now I'm, I'm bypassing Mendoza and 185 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,000 I'm going right to Stearns. David Stearns is Public Enemy 186 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,800 number one in New York. David Stearns without question 187 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,440 has jumped to the top of the list as the most hated man in 188 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,720 sports in New York. It's not James Dolan, it's not 189 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,480 Hal. And Yankee fans don't even love 190 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,320 Hal. It's not even Cashman. 191 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,160 And there's more Yankee fans that are against Cashman than 192 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,880 they are against Hal. I mean, you know, it's not Mike 193 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,520 Brown until maybe they lose. Nick's look pretty good over the 194 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,960 weekend. We'll get to that good start. 195 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,520 It's not Brown now because he's just starting the playoff 196 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,960 journey. So we have to see what happens. 197 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,840 You know, the Rangers are non entities and it's not them. 198 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,040 They go nowhere. So there's nobody's mad about 199 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,000 the they were mad about the Rangers months ago, but that 200 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,200 that's dissipated. You know, it's not John Mara who 201 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,120 brought in John Horbaugh. All right, You know, listen, I 202 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,920 mean, obviously The Jets always conjure up negative energy, but 203 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,920 it's almost more like, all right, let's see what this turns 204 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,080 into war almost apathetic or whatever. 205 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,440 Like the rage, the hate, the energy, the pushback right now 206 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:10,520 with David Stearns's team that he has assembled, it is real and 207 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,360 it is a massive, massive problem now. 208 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,520 Right now, the Mets have an off day, all right, Get a little 209 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,560 gift, even even though they're playing better than I thought 210 00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,960 they would be at this point. The Twins, you got three with 211 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,280 the Twins. You've got three with the 212 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,000 Rockies. You've got three with the 213 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,200 Nationals. 2 of the worst three teams in baseball right now. 214 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,720 The Mets are tied for the worst record in baseball. 215 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,760 They're 7 and 15. They've lost eleven straight and 216 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,720 they have a -25 run differential. 217 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,440 If the Mets don't get their act together over the course of the 218 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,640 next 5 days or so, then what? I've been saying for a while, 219 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,760 I've been espousing a little bit of patience. 220 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,560 Like, hey, listen, I'm not a huge Mendoza fan. 221 00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:52,920 I like him as a person, but I don't think he's nearly as good 222 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,200 as some people tell me that he, like I hear all the time. 223 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,120 And those aside, it's not Mendoza's fault. 224 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,680 Well, whose fault is it? I mean, the Bucks got to stop 225 00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:02,320 with somebody. You didn't, you did not, you did 226 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,320 not intentionally walk somebody yesterday that a 12 year old 227 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,640 would have said let's put them on. 228 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,320 And again, it's more about Stearns. 229 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,080 But to give the manager a pass is the height of ludicracy. 230 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,160 Like, there's no way I'm doing that, all right. 231 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,000 And then even last year he mismanaged the the bullpen 232 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,480 terribly, didn't pinch run for guys when very obvious 233 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,360 situations arose. I thought he ran with Vientos 234 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,000 too much at third base late in the season when he was a horrid 235 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,960 defender. So Mendoza to me, and I've said 236 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,200 this many times, which is why we were going to split the 237 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,760 difference this year. Year one, really awesome. 238 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,040 Year 2, awful. Well, year three, let's get a 239 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,200 sense of who he is now. You can only manage what you're 240 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,360 given. All right? 241 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,560 So is this more of a Stearns thing or more of a Mendoza 242 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,880 thing? It almost doesn't matter because 243 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,600 what's going to happen is this. If the Mets lose 3 of their next 244 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,000 4 or 4 or 4, Mendoza's going to be fired. 245 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,560 Like there's no assurances that he makes it to May 1st. 246 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,000 I'm not saying that that's right. 247 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,400 But you can't lose consistently the way the Mets are losing with 248 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,520 this payroll and these expectations forever and have no 249 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,000 recourse. Like somebody's going to get 250 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,160 whacked and Mendoza is going to be the sacrificial lamb. 251 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,200 Well, again, whether it's right, wrong or indifferent. 252 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,160 But then once that happens, if that happens, and I hope it 253 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,280 doesn't, and I do still believe that the Mets will turn this 254 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,880 around more than more than most. I don't know, Maybe I'm just 255 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,960 kind of looking at some of the numbers and maybe I'm, I don't 256 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,920 know, I just think that they're starting pitching. 257 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,440 Sang aside and Peterson as well. But you got Peralta, you got 258 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,400 McClain. You know, Bichette's going to 259 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,440 start hitting. You have to think Lindor's going 260 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,280 to wake up, Soto's going to come back like there's 2. 261 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,640 Are you telling me that the Mets are the worst team in baseball? 262 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,320 Like, is this really who the 2026 New York Mets are going to 263 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,200 be? Is this what's going to happen? 264 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:03,040 So what will happen, as I just said, if they don't rectify 265 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,160 this? I mean, basically immediately 266 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,760 the manager will be fired, but that will not solve and that 267 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:17,400 will not that will not like lower the, the, the, the rage 268 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,880 and the anger. It's not really directed at 269 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,560 Mendoza and it really shouldn't be. 270 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,320 It's at the general manager because it's one thing when you 271 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,520 construct A-Team and this go, let me bring Cashman back into 272 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,080 this for a minute, right? So we've myself, you know, it's 273 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,640 not on the right, all that stuff. 274 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,400 Rebuild them the way they need to be rebuilt. 275 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,560 Like there's a lot of energy to work, but it's not necessarily 276 00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:41,560 hate. It's not vitriol. 277 00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:43,680 It's like, dude, I'm tired of this. 278 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:46,520 Like it's kind of the same thing every year. 279 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,360 Bloated payroll, but then you got to find two or three 280 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,840 position players every deadline or a couple of bullpen arms, or 281 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,200 you got two or three guys playing out of place 282 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,400 defensively, or you're a team that doesn't make enough contact 283 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,800 or whatever it might be, right? The the problems with Cashman 284 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,640 have been repeated and it's just tiresome. 285 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,480 It's like it's exhausting talking about the same things 286 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,080 with the Yankees over and over and over. 287 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,720 The one difference, though, and what makes the Yankees 288 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,960 situation, the more the Yankees are just better and they're 289 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,080 playing better and they almost always play better than the 290 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,120 Mets. But in terms of the energy 291 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,280 toward the general managers here is that the guy in Queens took 292 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,240 people that you love and shipped them out and you've lost eleven 293 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,800 straight. Like, it's one thing when we're 294 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,680 sitting here in February as the Mets go down to Port Saint Lucie 295 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,600 and we dissect, all right, here's what the Mets have done, 296 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,360 here's what their prospects are, here's what we think could 297 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,960 happen. And you're kind of going through 298 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,760 the emotions of losing people that you love watching play 299 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,600 baseball. You know, I mean, like Pete 300 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,040 Alonso and Brandon Nimbo, who was smacking the cover off the 301 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,440 ball. Brandon Nimble's hitting 325. 302 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,640 You know, that's one aspect because it's early and there's a 303 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,200 whole world of baseball possibilities in front of you 304 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,200 that are at least interesting enough where all right, as you 305 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,520 compartmentalize the emotion And then like the logic of being a 306 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,480 Met fan back in February, it unless you're a deranged lunatic 307 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,960 and many of us are with their teams. 308 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,640 I get that it's not a knock. But if you're a fairly sensible 309 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:26,200 fan, you could and many of you did take a step back and say, 310 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,040 all right, man, haven't won since 86. 311 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,360 It's a long run of ineptitude here. 312 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,760 You know, we got some good pitchers coming up. 313 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,280 We got some interesting players, got Soto Gotlandur. 314 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,760 This core that we've messed around with for a couple of 315 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,640 years is not working. So even though you resisted and 316 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,480 and would call up the station and tweet away and do whatever 317 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,640 you do, many of you, I think deep down understood that the 318 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,440 Mets had to change something. They had to. 319 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,280 I mean, what are you going to roll out a core of Vimo Alonzo 320 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,800 and, and you know, and obviously Francisco Lindor for seven 321 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,400 years, he's going to keep going, keep going. 322 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,800 Hey, hey, it's 2029. Maybe we'll win this year. 323 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,120 No, like there's there's, there's a finality to it. 324 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,160 There's an end point to it. And I thought that the Mets 325 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,200 corps hit that end point and so did the Mets press. 326 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,720 But that doesn't mean that what he did was right. 327 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,720 Hey, it's it's not my job to build the team. 328 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,480 It's my job to react to what I see. 329 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,400 And my reaction to that Mets corps was not good enough based 330 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,800 off of that reaction. My next reaction was you got to 331 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,360 mix it up and you got to do something different based on 332 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,840 what they did. My reaction to those moves were, 333 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,200 I got to be honest, I kind of like what they did, but I'm not 334 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,320 the GM, you know what I mean? I'm just sitting here at home 335 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,880 now doing a show and I'm going to give you my opinions and I'm 336 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,600 going to give you possible solutions and timelines on when 337 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,160 people should be fired or whatever it might be. 338 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,920 I'm not getting paid to build the Mets. 339 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,680 David Stearns, all right, who's a Mets fan, who's a local, local 340 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,440 guy, took the heart of the team and just ripped it apart. 341 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,839 And at the right, it seemed like the right time. 342 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,240 But eleven straight losses. And this is what's unfair about 343 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,119 this. He's not going to get fired mid 344 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,640 season. It's going to be Mendoza who 345 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,800 loses his job. So let's be very clear about 346 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,400 this. You know, there's there's really 347 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:33,000 nothing to interpret. Thus far, David Stearns has been 348 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,360 an F as the general manager of the New York Mets. 349 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:42,000 Not AD plus, not AD minus a straight up FF. 350 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,560 And if guys don't wake up and guys don't start performing, the 351 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,480 managers out and then the GM is out in the offseason. 352 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,000 That's all there is to it. That's the reality of it. 353 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,040 And that's the way it should be with those expectations. 354 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,680 Hey, listen, you want to be and, and I know that Mets fans, I've 355 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,760 always aspired to this. I get it. 356 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,520 You know, my Jet fandom is tied into like the Mets. 357 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,640 I I get it. You want to be championship 358 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,720 relevant every year. You want to know because you 359 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,400 called me up and you told me this for years on the fan. 360 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,800 You know you, you want to know when there's a big fish to reel 361 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,840 in from a free agent perspective, that Steve Cohen 362 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,680 sitting at that head of the table with that big checkbook 363 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,200 and you got a real chance to get that player. 364 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,920 Guess what? You've got a lot of them. 365 00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:32,200 And guess what, It's getting worse. 366 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,000 It's getting worse. You got Soto. 367 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,120 You went from a playoff team that almost won, that almost got 368 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:41,520 to the World Series. I'm not blaming Soto. 369 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,000 I'm just giving you the context of what's happened. 370 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,920 You almost got to the World Series. 371 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,680 You just smashed the Phillies, and then you run into the 372 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,800 Dodgers the next year. All right, the logical step is 373 00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:53,680 maybe we get to the World Series. 374 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,040 No, you win 83 games, no playoffs, and here you are. 375 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,160 You've lost eleven straight games. 376 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,240 It doesn't matter what I thought coming into the season about the 377 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,240 moves. It doesn't matter you thought. 378 00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:11,120 What matters is the Mets suck right now. 379 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:15,200 They are an unmitigated disgrace right now. 380 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:20,720 They are unwatchable. See, the Mets right now are a 381 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,640 very frightening combination of several things here. 382 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,360 Like, it's one thing to be bad, right? 383 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,560 That's that's one energy. It's another thing to be boring. 384 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,840 That's another energy. It's like, all right, if my 385 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,320 team's bad and they're boring, like a lot of times with The 386 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:40,360 Jets right where I'm watching the game, you know, it's like 30 387 00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:43,120 to 6 in the fourth ground. Like, you know what, I'm going, 388 00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:44,880 I'm moving on to another game. I'm not. 389 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,400 I'm not sitting here torturing myself watching A-Team unable to 390 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,240 move the sticks to get a first down. 391 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,640 So you could be bad, you could be boring. 392 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,160 Those are two things that a lot of teams are like the Rockies. 393 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,040 The Rockies are bad, the Rockies are boring. 394 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,240 What makes this different is that now it looks as if the Mets 395 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,840 are dysfunctional and disconnected and basically 396 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,480 broken. And when that happens and you're 397 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,160 in New York, you have as big a problem as you could possibly 398 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,280 have as a sports team. So this home stand is either 399 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,560 going to be. The elixir that the New York 400 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,640 Mets so desperately need. And they start hitting and they 401 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,800 start waking up and they start winning some games and they 402 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,720 stave off the firing squad for at least a little bit. 403 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:45,400 Or it is going to be as ugly, as ugly as sound and as ugly optic 404 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:50,040 that you can have for any team in a while in the city. 405 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,720 Like, that's where we're at. So it's your move, Mets. 406 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,760 I mean, the fans can't win games for you. 407 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:03,080 Oh my God, J Rod, what a disaster, dude. 408 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:08,720 It is just brutal out there bro. Like God almighty, they Mets 409 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,600 look awful. Also to let you know, we got. 410 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,600 Mets. We got, we got a lot of callers 411 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,920 in the queue already. Let's. 412 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,800 Top them in, man. We got people. 413 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,040 Yeah, I figured that. Let me just read this real 414 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:21,400 quick. Yeah. 415 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,400 You love you, brother. Only guy who talks sports and 416 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,280 we'll follow you wherever. I appreciate that. 417 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,120 Thank you, Jay. Thank you very much. 418 00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:32,520 Also, I want The Jets to trade up and grab downs. 419 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,920 Don't love any any any water receiver in this draft. 420 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,400 I'm going to do some draft after I'll get to the Dexter Lauren 421 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,320 stuff. I do have to do one thing and I 422 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,480 you could probably see me. I feel like I have to blow my 423 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,040 nose and I'm on camera. I no longer have a partner, so I 424 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,760 can't really hide. So I'm going to actually duck 425 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,800 this way for a. Second, I mean, it's like I 426 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,040 could just toss myself. Up. 427 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,480 Yeah, You throw yourself up there for a SEC. 428 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,120 I have to. It's been my nose is runny 429 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,240 because my you know, and I I can't it just and and let me 430 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,520 take care. Of this, Yeah, exactly. 431 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,080 Just RIP it real quick. Hello and Leaf fam, how are you 432 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,960 doing today? There we go. 433 00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:08,720 Mets, man. Mets are just crazy guys. 434 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,800 Jay. Rod, thank you very much, Jay. 435 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,360 Good job on that, Jay. Look at Jay filling in so 436 00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:16,400 seamlessly. Hey, that's what happens when 437 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,320 you go to Syracuse. That's the kind of that's the 438 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,880 kind of store that you produce. I love Jay. 439 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,680 Rod J Rod. J Rod is the UN unlabeled star 440 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,360 of the show. People love J Rod. 441 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,680 Yeah, and they should. I'm so happy for you man. 442 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,440 You doing great.

I'm trying. 446 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,120 Yeah. No, you are. 447 00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:44,480 There was a lot of moving parts that that happened behind the 448 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,720 scenes and we busted out the calls and you know what? 449 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,400 Let's do it now. Let's get to the calls. 450 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,200 We got a lot to get to. Do a little. 451 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,880 Something on Ben Rice. I got a little something on 452 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,720 Three Burning Questions. I want to get to the Dexter 453 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,360 Lawrence trade giants. Well, I saw that. 454 00:22:56,360 --> 00:22:58,160 I'm like, they got what? Wow. 455 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,120 So the as bad as the Mets are right now, that's as good as the 456 00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:03,080 trade was for the G man. All right, let's get to the 457 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,200 Colts here. What do we got, Jay? 458 00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:07,680 We've got a John from Fort Hood. Call him back again. 459 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,320 All right, Johnny is out in Texas. 460 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,200 John, what's going on, buddy? Welcome back to Unleashed. 461 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,920 How are you? Thank you, BT. 462 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,120 I'm doing good. How you doing today? 463 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,200 Awesome man. Salute to you and the boys and 464 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,880 and the women, all the troops out there. 465 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,120 Thank you. Appreciate it. 466 00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:21,200 Appreciate it. Yeah, so I don't know if you 467 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,440 remember on Friday we were talking about the decks 468 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,040 potential trade and we both agreed that they weren't going 469 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,960 to get a top 16 pick. Yep. 470 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,960 And now they ended up getting a top ten pick, which blew my 471 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,840 mind, I'm not going to lie. So what do you think they're 472 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,240 going to do in the draft on Thursday with that pick? 473 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,480 Yeah, Well, listen, I was stunned, John. 474 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,800 I was absolutely stunned, though. 475 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,360 We talked about this. If you guys missed the show, 476 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,040 show. I was flat out asked like, 477 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,120 what's going to happen with Dex? I said, I guarantee he's going 478 00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:51,720 to get traded. I guarantee there's no way that 479 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,720 the Giants are going to to acquiesce to his financial 480 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,960 demands. There was too much, too much 481 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,280 there. It's a new regime and he was out 482 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,720 of shape and he was and he's now he's a beast when he's right. 483 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,760 So Cincinnati, if he's ready to play football, they got 484 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,400 themselves one of the two or three best interior live at a 485 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,120 football. So it could be a win win. 486 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,040 But I was flabbergasted, John. And thank you for the call. 487 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,480 John. I appreciate you reaching back 488 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,520 out could work out of you. So we keep the train moving. 489 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:17,760 Jay, you can get him down. Thank you. 490 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,720 I, I thought it would be like middle part back end of the 491 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,240 draft in terms of the first round. 492 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,520 And I wasn't even fully convinced that they were going 493 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,520 to get a first round there because I remember saying 494 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,560 somebody else brought this up and I'm like, hell, would you be 495 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,440 OK? Would say 2 twos. 496 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,760 And honestly, at that point for me, I'm like, yeah, two twos 497 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,680 pretty good. So the Giants absolutely crushed 498 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,080 that. All right #1 #2 like, what do I 499 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,400 think they're going to do with the draft? 500 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,000 Well, let's say if they stay at 5:00 and 10:00, I think they're 501 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,360 absolutely going defense. And then obviously this opens up 502 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,880 a conversation for the receiver because there was a lot of talk. 503 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,480 Well, not a lot. I don't want to go nuts here, 504 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,600 but there was some talk. Maybe the Giants take receiver 505 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,480 at 5, which I thought was ridiculous. 506 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,520 There's too many good defensive players, whether it's a styles 507 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,880 or downs or maybe you trade down even there go Ruben Bayne, what 508 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,000 what whatever. There's a lot of ways the G men 509 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,040 could go. But now that you have that 510 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,480 number, that number 10 pick overall, I mean you can satisfy 511 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,880 both sides of the ball. So I don't think, I don't think 512 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,240 they're going defense, defense, I don't think they're going 513 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,920 offense, offense. I'm almost I'm I'm convinced 514 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,160 they're going defense then to offense. 515 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,040 But I wouldn't be surprised if they make another trade as well. 516 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,480 That's just a great move by by the Giants, Jay. 517 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,440 Let's get those Met calls. You got some Mets stuff up 518 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,160 there. Let's see calls or comments. 519 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,720 I've got a lot of Mets comments.

You saw the gravity that he 543 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,320 commands on the floor, particularly when he got going 544 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,760 in the second-half. My only thing with him, and I 545 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,400 know you're seeing this too, I don't know why it takes so long 546 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,880 for us to get him, to get him involved. 547 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,600 Like the first half obviously had a really poor first half, 548 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,760 but it's like it's I'm seeing it and I'm seeing certain times in 549 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,720 the game where Brunson, as amazing as he is, and he got us 550 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,240 going, obviously with 19 in the first quarter on Saturday. 551 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,320 Why does he go ISO so much and just pound the ball like it 552 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,320 seems obvious. Yeah, well, to me it's a 553 00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:05,840 problem. And listen, if you think think 554 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,360 about this, and when I say a problem, I mean, on the on the 555 00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:12,080 grandest level of problems here, it could keep them from a 556 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,920 championship. And I don't even know that they 557 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,680 have all the other pieces there. Benji. 558 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,560 And, and thank you for the call, Benji. 559 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:18,640 Appreciate it, buddy. Let's go. 560 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,800 Knicks tonight, of course, game #2 but yeah, I mean, see, to me, 561 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,000 Jalen Brunson can get a shot whatever he wants. 562 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,960 So to me, that's part on Brunson, that's part on and also 563 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,480 on coaching, obviously, like if I'm coaching the Knicks, and I 564 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,960 know this is absolutely an oversimplification, it's never 565 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,480 this easy. I get it, because teams are 566 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,200 counteracting what you're trying to do. 567 00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:44,920 So it's easy for me to say this on BT Unleashed. 568 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,720 It's harder to do with tonight when you hit the court against 569 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,840 the Hawks, right? But like, if I'm Mike Brown and 570 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,960 I'm Jaylen Brunson, like I'm getting together and I'm saying, 571 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,600 hey, let let's let's find a way to let the big goal get 572 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,840 something going early. Like let's get him in the mood. 573 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,760 You know what I mean? Like, to me, and there's a few 574 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,960 things in in basketball, like when the big man runs the court, 575 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,400 you got it. You got a reward of right that 576 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,200 that's an old adage in basketball. 577 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,160 You know, if you got a big who's going to fill the lane and and, 578 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,960 you know, get down the court on a fast break, you better give 579 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,000 him a bounce pass and let him flush it and feel good about 580 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,040 himself. You better. 581 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,480 And and you know, I also think at least with this Knicks team, 582 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:27,320 like this group, this iteration, this situation, I, I just don't 583 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,280 know why they don't come out and feature him early more. 584 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,200 Because, you know, even if I mean, I would think even if 585 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,520 Jalen Brunson goes the first 6 or 7 minutes of the game, it 586 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,520 takes two shots and the other guys are in the flow. 587 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,240 Well, then you can say I Jalen go get a quick 11 or 12 points 588 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,360 in any given quarter and he's going to do it. 589 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,480 So I I don't, I don't really understand that it's it's a 590 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,600 coaching thing. I think it's partly a 591 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,000 recognition thing. I think it's partly being more 592 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,000 demonstrative. I also think that, you know, I'm 593 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,480 not going to exonerate Carl Anthony Towns here now. 594 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,720 I know he's made some concessions to his game this 595 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,520 year. And I was all over Cat early in 596 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,320 the year and begging on him. And I stand by what I said, but 597 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,040 I'm also somebody when I see somebody trying to change or 598 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,000 embracing a different role. And, you know, I'm, I'm going to 599 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,920 give him credit. And I've taken, I've taken my 600 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,160 foot off the off the gas in terms of just, you know, revving 601 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,600 that engine and pounding on cat. Because I've seen somebody who's 602 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,280 who's tried to kind of fit in to what's going on, even though, 603 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,240 you know, that he can't possibly love the way he's being used 604 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,240 here, You know, but listen, some of the onus is still on him to 605 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,760 be a little bit more forceful than calling for the ball. 606 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,920 When you see that pick and roll, I mean, how about that one pick 607 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,200 and roll right, right at the top of the circle where Brunson 608 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,120 threw a behind the back pass and then you swing it all around 609 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,640 quarter three. I'm like, I mean, I was just 610 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,560 that was just basketball beauty. It was gorgeous, man. 611 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,600 So we'll see. I mean, there's not a whole lot 612 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:55,880 to criticize from the other night. 613 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,360 Knicks did look good. I'm not worried about the Hawks. 614 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,480 You know, initially I said the Knicks in five and then I kind 615 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,640 of amended that a little later in the week and I said Knicks in 616 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,960 six. I'll stick with Nixon 6. 617 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,400 But if they win tonight, you'd have to think that they find a 618 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,600 way to, you know, get 2 of the next three and and probably do 619 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,600 wrap it up in five. And, you know, listen, the 620 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,560 Pistons lose. That was the really big upset 621 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,080 over the weekend. So obviously basketball is, you 622 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,960 know, is off and running here. We got a lot going on. 623 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,320 It's a big week. You got the tramp. 624 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,640 It's it's a it's a lot of fun here. 625 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,400 But the thing to me is, you know, and I said this on Friday, 626 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,400 when the when the let's see, the Mets had lost at that point, 627 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,720 their losing streak was I guess it was 8, right? 628 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,960 Yeah, they lost three in Chicago. 629 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,240 And like, the one thing about where we are now calendar wise 630 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,760 is that not necessarily in the first round with the Knicks, 631 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,160 because, you know, we all expected like if God, if the 632 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,160 Knicks don't win the first round, forget about it. 633 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,120 They will. But the Mets and the Yankees, 634 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,560 who Yankees are starting to wake up, helps you play the Royals. 635 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:03,880 But the like, there's nowhere for the like, the Knicks aren't 636 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,960 going to be able to hide for the next month or three weeks or two 637 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,960 months, whatever it might be. And during this energized and 638 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,320 intensified focus on the Knicks, you know, the Yankees and the 639 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,400 Mets, they become a little secondary in the city. 640 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,920 That's just the way it goes. You know, it's middish. 641 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,040 Early latest April and Nick's are just getting going. 642 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,680 And one thing we we know about New York, when the Knicks are 643 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,120 really good and when the Knicks have a a, a chance, you know 644 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,320 what a a real chance to do something. 645 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,320 The Knicks take over. It's the Knicks show, but this 646 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,080 usurps that. Like, it's one thing if you lose 647 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,280 three of seven or you or you go three and seven or you go three 648 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,120 and five. Even if it's teams you're 649 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,320 supposed to be like one thing. That's where the Knicks will 650 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,080 kind of obscure that, you know, that shrapnel. 651 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,680 But when you lose 11 straight and now you come home and you're 652 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,280 playing a couple of teams that you should put in a body bag, 653 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,960 you know, if you're playing decent baseball, the Twins are 654 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,920 the more formidable. The three you got three with 655 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,800 Minnesota, the Rockies and the Nationals. 656 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,200 Like you got 9 games there. Like it it. 657 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:15,320 I mean, it's I mean, if the Mets go three and six, he's got it. 658 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,800 You got to find. And I don't even want to get rid 659 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,200 of Mendoza until Juan Soto comes back. 660 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,720 Like, I'd really like to give him that chance to kind of 661 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,280 rectify this, but I'm not even listen. 662 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,920 I mean, to sit here and think that Juan Soto is going to fix 663 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,840 everything about the Mets is, is ludicrous. 664 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,680 Is Juan Soto going to pitch on the days that Kodai Sank is 665 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,080 supposed to pitch? Is Juan Soto going to pitch on 666 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,200 the days that David Peterson supposed to pitch? 667 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,720 Is Juan Soto going to come in and close games? 668 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,840 Like I know that Devin Williams hasn't had many opportunities 669 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,880 and obviously gave up the Grand Slam and whatever, but you know, 670 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,240 non save situation, which happens a lot to closers. 671 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,760 I mean, Devin Williams, you you got to you got to slam the door. 672 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,840 Come on, man, you must finish that game yesterday. 673 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,120 And I don't think that there's any more frustrating way to lose 674 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:11,680 a game when when you are mired in a prolonged losing streak, 675 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,800 right? And then you'll finally get a 676 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,080 lead and then your clothes are flushes it down the shoot. 677 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,800 And then, you know, to make it even a little bit worse, your 678 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,440 manager doesn't walk somebody that we all think that he should 679 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,240 have walked. And there's just there's only so 680 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,160 many levers to pull at this point. 681 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,720 I mean, Polanco's banged up. He's not even playing. 682 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,840 You know, Soto's starting his running. 683 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,920 But, you know, I mean, at that calf, it's just it's tricky, you 684 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,640 know, and even as great as Juan Soto is, I mean, there's just 685 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,680 too many other automatic outs or situations with this Mets team 686 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:52,400 that right now, if it feels, it feels broken and it looks, and I 687 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,800 know that this is not the case. It looks too often. 688 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,560 And this happens in baseball when you don't hit. 689 00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:59,760 So I want to be fair to the Mets. 690 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,200 I want to be fair to the guys on the team. 691 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,920 Like Mets are trying. I mean, this thought that the 692 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,840 Mets aren't trying, that the Mets just don't give a shit is 693 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,679 ridiculous, right? But I, I, I listen. 694 00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:10,880 I don't want to hear anymore. I'm just tired of it. 695 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,800 I've hit my expiration point. Is anybody else exhausted? 696 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:20,560 Absolutely beyond exhausted hearing Francisco and Door take 697 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,880 accountability after a game. All right, great job. 698 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:24,000 All right, Yeah, you're going to. 699 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,400 You're going to put the thumb at your chest. 700 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,280 How about your RIP one in the gap when the game is on the 701 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,360 line? How about you make a play it 702 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,639 short when the game is on the line? 703 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,600 I mean, there's been 1-2. I'm going through my head each 704 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,800 situation. You know, whether it was getting 705 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,360 thrown out of the plate against the Pirates when he got hit in 706 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,560 the head and some people think he's concussed and stop with the 707 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,560 concussion. He's concussed. 708 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,800 I mean, if if, if he has a concussion, then the Mets are 709 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,600 the biggest idiots in the world. I mean, it was basically a month 710 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,440 ago. Like, come on, man. 711 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,120 I mean, modern medicine in the year 2026, I mean, I'm hearing 712 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,800 this all the time. Might have a concussion. 713 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,360 Well, if he's got a concussion, why the hell is he playing? 714 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,040 Would you guys please wake up and just understand that he's in 715 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,200 space for whatever reason, it is not attributable to a concussion 716 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,480 in my opinion. Maybe he's just not really 717 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,640 locked in. You ever think about that? 718 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,560 You know, maybe there's some dynamics in the clubhouse and I 719 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,240 you know that I don't know, I'm not there. 720 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,200 I don't know. Doesn't seem like a healthy 721 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,160 clubhouse, just like last year's didn't. 722 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:34,840 So I am just I am over after every single game that the Mets 723 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,960 lose, like it's no longer. Wow, what a leader. 724 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,400 Oh my God, Lindoor. What great accountability. 725 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,720 Take that thumb and put it here rather. 726 00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:47,520 No, dude, you're supposed to be the Come on, come on. 727 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,760 You don't get extra points for being accountable. 728 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,960 You get extra points for being productive. 729 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,800 You get points for doing your job. 730 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,040 You get points for hitting. You get points for running. 731 00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:01,160 You get points for fielding. You get more points for winning. 732 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,120 Right now. You're not hitting, you're not 733 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,640 fielding, you're not winning. I'm not saying it's all his 734 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,320 fault, but I just I, I watched these these post game interviews 735 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,280 on S&YI want to hear Mendy's report like I did with the 736 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,720 Yankees with boot as well. I want to get a sense of what's 737 00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:16,000 going on. Wow. 738 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,800 I mean, what amazing Francisco endures owning up to not playing 739 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,680 good Chris baseball. I mean, does anybody really need 740 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,560 that anymore? Does anybody want to hear that 741 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,320 anymore? It's old. 742 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,120 How about you perform? How about that? 743 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:34,680 How about you play like the star that everybody tells me that you 744 00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:38,240 are? Every year Lindor's a superstar. 745 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:43,920 Yet every single year with the Mets, there's something with 746 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,680 Lindor. He had a fight in the tunnel. 747 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,880 He's hitting 112 in April, whatever it might be. 748 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,400 Not getting along with this guy, Not getting along with that guy. 749 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,480 I mean enough, enough, enough. J Rod. 750 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,800 Yes, Sir, we've got a we've got a Mets question from Trey in 751 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,920 Long Island. OK, let's get him up there. 752 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,560 Trey from Long Island is on a leash. 753 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,280 Trey, what's happening, buddy? How you doing today? 754 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,640 Great BCBC, big fan, followed you around a lot. 755 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,440 Love everything that you're about basically. 756 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,120 Absolutely. My question is, there's been 757 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:22,560 three teams to make post season after losing 11 in a row. 758 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:28,280 I look at this team and I'm just so I'm like distraught because 759 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,120 this is not something that we expect. 760 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,320 It's not something that you really. 761 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,280 I feel like it is very hard to lose 11 games in a row. 762 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,760 It is. And. 763 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,680 So now I'm looking at it and yes, I hate the fact that it's 764 00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:42,880 April and we're talking about who's going to replace Mendy and 765 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:47,040 and going along this spiel. But honestly, in your mind, 766 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,480 looking at these options, I know that, you know, people are 767 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,760 talking about Kai Correa or Andy Green. 768 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,840 I know he wasn't that good with the Padres. 769 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,040 I don't know why that's the thing. 770 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,120 I get the front office, but I just want to see who do you 771 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,520 think with them going that route they, you know, end up? 772 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,840 Changing if they fire Mendoza, I mean the truth that I'll give 773 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,200 you an answer here, Trey. I think it would be Korea could 774 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,200 be Beltron. I don't I don't know for sure. 775 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:17,000 But here's the thing, this is not, you know, football where 776 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,480 some incredible scheme can kind of elevate a defense or an 777 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,200 offense, whatever it might be in. 778 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,960 And I don't want to say the manager has obviously no juice 779 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,560 because he does. You know, there's a a 780 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,920 temperament, there's a day-to-day awareness and 781 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,000 cohesion that is obviously paramount in baseball as well. 782 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,240 But if you don't have the requisite horses, if you don't 783 00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:38,720 have the pieces, and I'm not saying that they don't because 784 00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:42,160 Bichette's got to be better and Soto's not even playing right. 785 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,720 So they're going to be better, I think. 786 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,440 But you know, even if they were to bring in, you know, Davy 787 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,560 Johnson, rest in peace, like a great Mets manager, it might not 788 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,040 matter, Trey, if you just don't have the right pieces, dude. 789 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,800 So I'm more concerned about the lineup and the help of the 790 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,520 organization and the moves. And Trey, I'm going to drop you 791 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,280 because you get a little bit little feedback. 792 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,000 Thank you very much. Thanks for the call there, Trey. 793 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,040 I appreciate it, buddy. Thank you for calling in. 794 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,200 You know, there's only so much you could do. 795 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:11,600 There's only so much you could do. 796 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,880 Like if you're a basketball coach, right? 797 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,120 Say, if you're not that you would necessarily do this in the 798 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:18,440 NBA. You can't do this at the pro 799 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,240 level. But if you say if you're a high 800 00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:22,800 school coach and you're like, we just don't we don't have a lot 801 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,960 of have a lot of talent, right? So, you know, there's ways like, 802 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,080 you know, if you if you hit the court against a certain team and 803 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,480 you try to play straight up, you're going to get run out of 804 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,040 the gym and you're going to lose 100 to 100 to 39. 805 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,360 All right. So maybe one way to count their 806 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,800 balance, that lack of talent and that disparity. 807 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:43,360 Let's take the air out of the ball. 808 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,360 Not that anybody would want to play that way in 2026, but you 809 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,440 know, 5 or 6 passes, you know, limit the other team's 810 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,480 possessions, limit our mistakes, kind of negate the advantage in 811 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,960 athleticism. I mean, what are you going to 812 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,360 really do in baseball? I could be a little bit more 813 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,000 aggressive. And by the way, they were 814 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,800 aggressive that they talked about this going into the Pirate 815 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,760 series where, hey, we looked at the Pirates as a team that we 816 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,280 can run on and kind of speed them up and make some mistakes. 817 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,840 And then they send, they send the door of the double in the 818 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,200 left center gap, and everybody cries. 819 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,680 Which is because they're like, oh, it's not the right time to 820 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,720 set, which I understand it probably wasn't the right time 821 00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:21,480 to send them, but I mean, what I I what I'm saying is if you're a 822 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:26,960 manager and you just have 345 automatic outs, there's really 823 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,320 just nothing you could do. I mean, maybe spread them out a 824 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,240 little bit. He's tried to mix up the lineup. 825 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,480 Ben just hit first. I mean, door in the three spot. 826 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,960 You know, I mean, you look at the way the lineup began at the 827 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,040 beginning of the year. It's a little bit different now. 828 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,800 Alvarez, I think at one point, yeah, maybe even yesterday 829 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,720 batting 5th. I think, you know, he he had a 830 00:40:43,720 --> 00:40:45,760 couple of games where he's in the five hole. 831 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,840 Didn't start there this year. I don't have to tell you, man, 832 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:53,680 it's just it, it is, it is an ugly, ugly and more importantly, 833 00:40:53,960 --> 00:41:00,080 a very dangerous mix right now of incredibly sloppy, uninspired 834 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,480 play and anger within the Mets fan base. 835 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,120 Angry for like, it's one thing if you ship out a bunch of 836 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:12,440 hometown heroes and you win. I mean, Mets fans will get over 837 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,480 that because Mets fans are going to root for the, you know, the, 838 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,160 the Mets on the front, even though the names on the back are 839 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,960 really woven into the fabric of, you know, that, that fandom, You 840 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,280 know what I mean? Been a Pete Alonzo fan forever. 841 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,760 You've been a Nimmo fan forever. Diaz less, but whatever. 842 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,840 But those two guys, I get it. Even McNeil, some of you like 843 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,240 McNeil, whatever. But if you're going to alter 844 00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:38,240 that chemistry and that DNA and literally uproot 2 dudes that 845 00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:42,240 you drafted very early, by the way, and you saw in the draft 846 00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:45,840 saw come up through the system and both do some some pretty 847 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,440 damn good things. Even those who love Alonzo and 848 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,640 love love Nimmo. If the Mets right now had won 849 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,000 eleven straight, nobody would care what Pete's doing in 850 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,800 Baltimore or what Brandon Nimmo's doing for Texas. 851 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,920 You wouldn't care. But it's just toxic evaluation 852 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,240 of, you know, what we once had and now what we are and what we 853 00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:10,520 no longer have. It is ugly, man. 854 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,880 It it is ugly for the New York Mets. 855 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,840 Ugly, ugly, ugly. Yes, Sir. 856 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,000 Yes, Sir, we've got a, we've got another Mets question if you're 857 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,840 down to hit it of. Course, I talk baseball all day. 858 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,440 Punch him up there. What do we got, Jay? 859 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,120 We've got. Seth from Concord, NC. 860 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,200 OK, Seth, what's going on, bud? BT Unleashed, how are you? 861 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:37,520 You know, during the offseason I got ready to blow my stack at 862 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,440 Stearns for his skin flinting, undervaluing and short leashing 863 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,840 players that were that he inherits and shipping them out 864 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,240 to create a team in a grotesque, frugal, cost efficient image. 865 00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:53,000 Like he's done with this team, sabotaging it. 866 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,440 You don't make a team out of dumpster diving pieces. 867 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,280 Well, Seth, Seth, Seth, hold on a SEC. 868 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,760 Seth, I got you. I appreciate the anger. 869 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,160 You should be team's awful, but dumpster diving. 870 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,000 I mean, the Mets. Mets have a top two payroll in 871 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:13,040 baseball. But why shortchange and skin 872 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,360 Flint the contracts I mean. What? 873 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:19,760 What do you mean like this? Way undervaluing players, short 874 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,720 putting them on short three term contract year contract leashes. 875 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,680 When guys like Alonzo, for example, they're at least worth 876 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,400 another 4, maybe five years over $100 million at minimum, and 877 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,000 instead he tried to shortchange them for 70 million. 878 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,720 All right, so, so it's about Pete, but less about. 879 00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:38,160 No, it's about really about Pete. 880 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,240 Is Pete is Pete hitting 320 for the Orioles and I'm missing it 881 00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:42,680 here? He's not doing that well. 882 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,320 I'm. Saying this if it if Pete and 883 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,800 Edit stuck around maybe things would be a little better. 884 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,240 Not much but but but my point is both Stearns and Mendoza knew 885 00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:55,720 coming out last season they were going to be under the gun and 886 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,640 owning up to their mistakes they doubled down on them. 887 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,080 Stearns with his short sighted arrogance and Mendoza with his 888 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:08,160 incompetent in game gambling decisions that drive me up a 889 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,640 wall that have no rhyme or reason to the more than half the 890 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,320 time. Set this pissed. 891 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,680 I mean I. Want Mendoza gone? 892 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,720 I mean, I want a regime change when this season's over. 893 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,360 Oh, jeez, I can't believe we're here already. 894 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:20,880 All right, well, Seth, interesting. 895 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,000 I don't.

Come on now man. 899 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,520 I mean this is unleashed bro, nothing else. 900 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,200 Can you, are you listening? Can you hear me? 901 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:35,120 Yeah. Yeah. 902 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,880 No, I, I know I appreciate it, man. 903 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,160 The Mets are a a just a horrendous watch right now. 904 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,200 There's really there's zero to enjoy except watching McClain 905 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:46,800 pitch. That's fun and he is awesome. 906 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:51,360 You know, Ah, God, they are just they are terrible, dude. 907 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,760 But you really can't make this up, right? 908 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:58,480 You can't make this up. You know, I I never jumped into 909 00:44:58,480 --> 00:44:59,640 this. I just don't find it 910 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,720 interesting. Some people do and that's fine. 911 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,120 The whole Yankee met thing, whatever. 912 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,240 You know, you guys got Soto great good for you. 913 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,920 I've moved on great hitter. That's fine, but you know, it's 914 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,720 it's kind of like isn't it really like The Jets getting 915 00:45:13,720 --> 00:45:18,160 Aaron Rodgers right and then jet fans and I was a little bit one 916 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:19,360 of them here to be honest with you. 917 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,840 Oh, here we go. We got a good defense. 918 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,040 We got this, we got that we finally have a quarterback and 919 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,920 you know what this happens and that happens. 920 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,480 This is The Jets year got, you know, strutting around a little 921 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,800 bit and then 4 plays in, he gets hurt, Jets suck, people fired, 922 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,720 he's gone. Like this is this is just and I 923 00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:41,120 don't even believe it. Like I don't subscribe to like 924 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,640 football fate. I believe that success and 925 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,560 failures or curses like Joe Namath, whatever it might be, I 926 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,680 believe in you are what you accomplished is a by product of 927 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:57,760 either intelligent decisions or bad ones like James Dolan 928 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,600 finally got rid of Steve. No, this I like Steve still. 929 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,120 I used to see Steve a lot of the games. 930 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,720 Good man Steve Mills, right. Steve Mills had way too much 931 00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:07,520 juice at the garden. Never got it right. 932 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,560 Had a chance to fix it didn't work out gone right. 933 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,200 And then obviously you mess around with Phil Jackson 934 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,760 disaster, but the decision that Dolan made to bring in somebody 935 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,520 who actually knows basketball and more importantly had 936 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,480 connections around the league because that's the way the 937 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,160 league was going. That was a very smart decision 938 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,360 by James Dolan and it remains to be seen if this group can win a 939 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,520 championship, but at least they got a chance. 940 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,080 They haven't lost eleven straight, you know what I mean? 941 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:39,160 And it's just amazing how you know the The Jets do things and 942 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,000 it doesn't really work out. The Mets do things it doesn't 943 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,600 really work out. It's crazy Yankees and I and I 944 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,720 don't again, I don't really do this much, but you can't ignore 945 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,440 think about this. The Yankees get Soto, they make 946 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,400 the World Series, the Mets get Soto, they win 83 games. 947 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,800 It's just crazy. It really is. 948 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,000 All right, Jay, let's get to 3 burning questions. 949 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,760 I will get some more calls here.

Boy, I can't wait to get it 963 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:40,800 today. Yeah. 964 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,720 Oh, boy, I did. I tell you who told you I did. 965 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,440 Where should Ben Rice regularly hit in the Yankee lineup? 966 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,600 I told you he was going to be phenomenal. 967 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,480 All right, let me give you a little stat here. 968 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,320 First of all, this is just have a little fun. 969 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,560 That'll give you the answer. There are five Yankees all time 970 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:03,200 ever that have started in their first 21 games with an on base 971 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:08,160 percentage of at least 475, a slugging percentage of at least 972 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:13,680 800, and scored twenty runs or more in their team's first 21 973 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,640 games. You ready for some names here? 974 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:23,920 Babe Ruth in 1921 and 1926, Lou Gehrig in 1922, Mickey Mantle in 975 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:31,400 1956, A Rod in 2007 and Yep, ball game Ben Rice. 976 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,280 All right, so where should Ben Rice hit? 977 00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:39,000 He should hit lead off every single game and I don't want to 978 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,920 hear a booty. It's a lefty whatever put him up 979 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:49,800 there number one every single game he is at night now you know 980 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,560 the numbers last year cuz I, I bombard you with the baseball 981 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,560 salmon stuff cuz I like to geek out here and there. 982 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:59,680 This year, he's doing it again, 97%. 983 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,000 And if you follow those, you know what this means. 984 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:03,920 And if you don't, well, then, yeah, whatever. 985 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,840 Just trust me, it's good. 97 percent or better. 986 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,720 Eight offensive categories on baseball Savant, meaning he's in 987 00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:14,320 the 98 percentile in terms of all these amazing offensive 988 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,960 categories. Hey, if Voltanic can lead off, 989 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,200 then why the hell can't Ben Rice? 990 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,160 I know he doesn't run like Otani. 991 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,360 He's an on base machine. He's hitting lefties of the 326 992 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:26,320 clip. He is. 993 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,760 He just destroys righties. And here's the thing too, he is 994 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:35,240 going to stress opposing pitchers like Grisham is an easy 995 00:49:35,240 --> 00:49:39,120 out, like much easier and relative to other lead off 996 00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,720 hitters, you know, on teams that are trying to win a championship 997 00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:47,080 and easy out, Ben Rice is an incredibly arduous at bat to 998 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,840 navigate. He's going to make you throw a 999 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,400 lot of pitches. He's going to foul a few off. 1000 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,280 He's not going to chase. He's going to barrel. 1001 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,360 And guess what that does? Got it? 1002 00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,720 Breaking baseball news that makes life a little bit easier 1003 00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:06,440 for Aaron Judge, who will be batting second anytime if you 1004 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:07,960 want. Even if Boone wants to put him 1005 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,320 like fifth against lefties, I would not do that. 1006 00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:15,360 But the Yankees against every freaking righty every single 1007 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:19,800 night that they play. Ben Rice 1, Aaron Judge 2, 1008 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,720 Bellinger 3. Conversation over. 1009 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:28,480 That's it. Ben Rice is entering superstar 1010 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:34,960 territory like I told you he would #2 #2 #2 little pea 1011 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,640 shooter #2 All right, What was the biggest surprise of the 1012 00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,560 opening weekend of the NBA playoffs? 1013 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,200 There we go. Well, to me, there's only one 1014 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:43,360 option here. Are you kidding me? 1015 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,720 First of all, 7 of the 8 home teams higher seeds won except 1016 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:55,680 Detroit Basketball Pistons lost Orlando and they lost kind of 1017 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,760 going away. They lost by double figures, 112 1018 00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,080 one O 1. Listen, I don't know that that's 1019 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,240 a stunning result. I mean the magic had a lot of 1020 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,600 injuries this year. The magic are a really good 1021 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,400 tough ascending team. Like they're legit man. 1022 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,200 And and it wasn't when I say legit, like probably a year or 1023 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,440 two away from championship your regular conversation. 1024 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:20,200 But the magic are are good and Detroit did not shoot well 10 1025 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:24,320 out of 32 from downtown. And but this was not like an 1026 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,080 anomaly. It's not like the, you know, and 1027 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,480 what I mean by that is it's not like the Magic came out and they 1028 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:34,040 jumped on them 39 to 14 or 3917 after the first quarter and they 1029 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,440 just found a way to hang on. The Magic won three of the four 1030 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,840 quarters that they played. So to me, that's representative 1031 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,240 of a team that just stepped on a court and just played a whole 1032 00:51:43,240 --> 00:51:46,280 lot better on the road. So that is an easy one. 1033 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,640 The biggest surprise of the opening weekend is the Magic 1034 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,400 hanging an L on the Pistons to start. 1035 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:53,800 All right, let's get it up there. 1036 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:58,080 Number three there, J Rod, good question. 1037 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,040 How many of the top 10 picks in the NFL draft will be offensive 1038 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,320 players? I'm going to go with the number 1039 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,240 5, All right? And I'm going to lay it out for 1040 00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:10,800 you #1 well, obviously it's going to be Mendoza, but these 1041 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,120 are not in order. Although it looks, I was reading 1042 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,920 something this morning. It looks like the Cardinals. 1043 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,960 Schecter had about an hour or two right before I got on the 1044 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,640 air, I should say. So probably about 950, whatever 1045 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,480 it was. He thinks that there's real or 1046 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,600 he's hearing you know, he's not going to speculate like, you 1047 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,560 know, whatever he's hearing that Cardinals very well might take 1048 00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,000 Jeremiah Love at three. How about that? 1049 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,120 And I've been saying for a week or two now that the draft is 1050 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,760 really going to start at 3:00 because they can go a multitude 1051 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,120 of ways like they're going to react to what The Jets do with 1052 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,000 two. They could go offensive lineman. 1053 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,240 You know, there there's a thought that they trade their 1054 00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:49,080 second pick and and get into the back end of the first day at 1055 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:53,000 first round maybe takes high Simpson Anyway, how many will be 1056 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,360 offensive players? All right, Mendoza's going to be 1057 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,120 1. Jeremiah loves definitely going 1058 00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:58,760 top ten. I think Cornell Tate's 1059 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,800 definitely going top ten. I think Jordan Dyson's going top 1060 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:07,240 ten and I would say, I would say Francis Mallinola, the lineman, 1061 00:53:07,240 --> 00:53:10,400 the the monster from Miami offensive lineman. 1062 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:11,880 I think you're going to have five. 1063 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:14,640 I don't think it would be more than that. 1064 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,440 And I really think that that's a good number. 1065 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,280 I'm comfortable with that. Now, if if I had to make a 1066 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:24,280 revision when I go up to six or would I go down to four, I would 1067 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:28,520 probably go up to 6 just because you think about some other names 1068 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,080 here, like whether it's a Bailey, obviously a Reese, 1069 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:37,040 obviously a Styles, obviously a Caleb Downs, Ruben Bain. 1070 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,560 There's a lot of mocks, well respected ones that have Ruben 1071 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,840 Bain in the in the top 10. So there it is 3 Bernie 1072 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,640 questions brought to you by my friends at Sullivan Papayne. 1073 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,480 Remember the name Sullivan Papayne got to lose the border. 1074 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:50,920 Why is the border back? J Rod. 1075 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:54,080 There we go. Dude, I don't even know how 1076 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:55,840 that's I. I guess I do know how it's 1077 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:57,600 happening. I'm like instead of clicking, 1078 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,400 instead of clicking off on the burning questions, I click off 1079 00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,480 onto like the empty border. So there you go. 1080 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:04,560 OK. All right. 1081 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:06,880 How about some more calls here? What do you got? 1082 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,000 Yes, Sir, we've got James from Hoboken, NJ. 1083 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,640 All right, James and Hoboken. I told you I was just over at 1084 00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:14,040 the Dino and Harry's the other night. 1085 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,000 What's up, Jimmy? What's going on, buddy? 1086 00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:17,760 Hey, BT. How you doing? 1087 00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:19,280 I'm good, thank you. What's up? 1088 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,240 Yeah, I'm a big Mets fan and it's I don't even know what what 1089 00:54:23,240 --> 00:54:25,320 to think right now. It's it's so frustrating. 1090 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,080 This team should not be this bad. 1091 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,120 I mean, they've been they've scored like 10 runs in the last 1092 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,400 seven games. I mean, that is that is 1093 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:33,920 pathetic. And that the other frustrating 1094 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,400 thing is their pitching has actually been pretty good. 1095 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:37,600 At least they're starting pitching. 1096 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,040 They just can't score, bro. Except Sang. 1097 00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,040 Well, except Sanga. He's been awful. 1098 00:54:41,240 --> 00:54:43,360 He's had a couple bad starts, but I for the most Muslim 1099 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,640 Mcclane's awesome. Peralta needs to be a little bit 1100 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,200 better, and he's been OK, but he and he will be better. 1101 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:51,880 Holmes has been fine. Yeah. 1102 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:52,920 I mean, they're just not hitting. 1103 00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:54,240 They're not hitting at all, dude. 1104 00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:59,320 Yeah, I think I'm, I'm really sick of indoor too, to be honest 1105 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:00,920 with you. I mean, I think there's 1106 00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:02,640 something with him and the team chemistry. 1107 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,680 I mean, if you look at the last couple years, there's something 1108 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,520 going on there. I think, like, it's great. 1109 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,560 James, think about this. I I I don't know exactly what it 1110 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,240 is, OK? I don't profess to know what it 1111 00:55:13,240 --> 00:55:17,680 is, but it's something like it. There's just something Askew 1112 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,880 about the internal chemistry and connectivity, or lack thereof, 1113 00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:24,080 of the Mets. And I'm getting tired of even 1114 00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,680 having to talk about this every year. 1115 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,080 Like, imagine, like I can tell you this, if this was popping up 1116 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,960 with Aaron, I don't care how good Aaron Judge is. 1117 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,560 If this was an issue every year with Aaron Judge, the chemistry, 1118 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,000 the core, this that get him out of here. 1119 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,360 Like it's not, it's not worth the headache #1 Lindor is not 1120 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,760 good enough. He's very good, but he's not 1121 00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,040 good enough where you look the other way. 1122 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,720 It like, I'm sorry, half the guys are gone. 1123 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,080 Most of the guys are new. So what's the one commonality 1124 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:54,360 here? It's Lindor. 1125 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:56,600 Yeah. So what do you do with that? 1126 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,040 Stupid. It's it's Lindor. 1127 00:55:58,200 --> 00:55:59,080 Yeah. What do you do with them? 1128 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,040 What are the options in terms of moving on from them? 1129 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,240 Yeah. I mean, I I I don't know. 1130 00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:06,200 I mean, I what are the options? You, you're not going to sit 1131 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,680 them because there's no real options there. 1132 00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:10,920 You just got to, you got to run them out there. 1133 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:12,440 You got to trust them. I I guess. 1134 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:13,880 And, and James, thank you for the call. 1135 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,720 I appreciate it. That was actually a pretty, 1136 00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,360 pretty calm Mets fan there, pretty calm Mets fan. 1137 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,720 If I was a Mets fan, I would be absolutely beside myself. 1138 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,240 No, I I respect it. He's keeping his chi. 1139 00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:30,480 He's finding his. He's centering himself in times 1140 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,640 of in times of crisis. OK, Sensei, thank you. 1141 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,600 Thank you very much. Yeah, I just, you know, I, I and 1142 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,880 listen, guys, I understand that we do overreact with baseball. 1143 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,080 We we do. But man, you know, and I would 1144 00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:48,000 even submit that the I mean, you think about the way we react 1145 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,600 like The Jets and the Giants during down lean years. 1146 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:56,360 It is it's it's kind of easy to not relative. 1147 00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:00,000 It's not easy, but relative to this conversation, it's easier, 1148 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,520 right? Like as a Jets fan, All right, 1149 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,000 The Jets pretty much stink every year. 1150 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,120 Hopefully it's going to change. I'm optimistic until I don't, 1151 00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:08,920 until I have reason not to be, whatever. 1152 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,800 But like, even on all these down years, I put a little bet here, 1153 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,760 a little fantasy football there. Oh, Mahomes is playing all 1154 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,080 right. You got the Niners and Dallas 1155 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,160 playing at $425 and Aikman all right, You know, good 1156 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,720 quarterback play with DAC. You know other Packers are 1157 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,200 playing Sunday night, Lambeau, awesome. 1158 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,240 You know, all the Bears, They have a nice team. 1159 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,200 They're fun to watch. You know, I hate the Patriots, 1160 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:35,360 but good Patriots team with a terrific young quarterback and A 1161 00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:39,080 and an outstanding coach And Mike Frabel, at least you could 1162 00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,880 kind of latch onto other stories around the, the NFL. 1163 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:47,840 And it it does dull the pain a little bit, unless you're a, a, 1164 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:51,440 a, a crazy, dyed in the wool baseball fan. 1165 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:53,480 Yeah. Are you really watching other 1166 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,400 games? I, I Sunday night baseball, 1167 00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:59,560 Otani's pitching, you know, Garrett Crochets on the hills, 1168 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:03,680 school Bulls pitching. Yankees, Red Sox, Giants, 1169 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,640 Dodgers, Giants, Padres, Braves, Phillies. 1170 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,000 I'm not saying you're not going to watch anything but Cubs, 1171 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,920 Brewers, if the Cubs are good, some of those regional, you 1172 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:16,200 know, rivalries over the years, right, Yanks Toronto at this 1173 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:17,960 point. But you don't you don't 1174 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,920 gravitate to that like you do football stories or even 1175 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:22,880 basketball. Like all the years that the 1176 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,760 Knicks were wretched. I could still and I did, you 1177 00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,240 know, all right, Hey, is LeBron going to finally win one in 1178 00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,480 Cleveland or the Warriors dynasty, which was amazing to 1179 00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,000 watch. There's to me, it's and maybe 1180 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,920 I'm wrong, but I think it's very different with baseball. 1181 00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:41,160 Like if you're a Mets fan, you know, I, I don't know where you 1182 00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,440 seek any solace during the baseball season. 1183 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:47,840 Like I, I, except with the Mets, you know, there's, it's just a 1184 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:49,960 different energy watching these other sports. 1185 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:55,480 So I mean, this thing's I, I really, I, I just, I, they have 1186 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:59,440 to play better at home. They have to like predictions 1187 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:01,800 don't mean anything, right, Because I thought I kind of 1188 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,120 like, you know, I really like Bichette and I like what the 1189 00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,960 Mets did this off season. So I mean, so far I'm off on 1190 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,480 that. But and it's not going to make 1191 00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,040 much sense for me to drop a prediction on the Mets now like, 1192 00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,120 oh, the Mets are going to go 7 and two on this nine game 1193 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:15,320 homestand. So I'm not going to waste 1194 00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,200 anybody's time because the way they look now, I don't know what 1195 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:22,400 to expect, man. But, you know, I mean, I do 1196 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,360 think that they're going to have a good home stand. 1197 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:29,480 And then, yeah, even if it's five and four, like that's not 1198 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,960 good. But when you lose 11 straight, 1199 00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,040 it's phenomenal. So you take what you can get in 1200 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,080 increments, right? You'd have to think if you could 1201 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,320 win more than you lose over the nine games in Queens against 1202 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:40,720 three teams that are going nowhere. 1203 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:42,000 Minnesota's a little better than I thought. 1204 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,880 But big picture, I don't think that they are. 1205 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,800 You know, maybe you can start to piece something together. 1206 00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,480 Soto comes back, you have a little positive momentum. 1207 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,000 Soto's back at the top of the order. 1208 00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:56,320 You start ripping and maybe you changed a little bit, but I 1209 00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,520 really don't know. What do you got up next, dear 1210 00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:01,000 Jay? We've got Evan from CT. 1211 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,480 Evan from Connecticut. What's up? 1212 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:05,440 EV, you're on our list. How you doing today, man? 1213 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:06,320 I'm. Good. 1214 01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:07,160 Good morning. How you doing? 1215 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:08,480 Awesome. Thank you. 1216 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,400 You got me fired up this morning, I'll tell you that. 1217 01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,520 It's a great weekend. The Yankees sweep the Royals. 1218 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,880 Ben Rice is proving to the media and to, you know, to all the 1219 01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:18,800 haters that. You can hit the. 1220 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,640 Lefty, so there's no more excuse for the platoon that he can, you 1221 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,800 know, Duke could hide behind. He can hit left. 1222 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:28,280 He's got over 300 average. He's absolutely raking right 1223 01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:29,000 now. And you called. 1224 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,440 It you've been on it since the start. 1225 01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,160 He's phenomenal. I mean, the guy there's he's 1226 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,160 everything that you want in a hitter, you know. 1227 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:37,840 And by the way, and Evan, thank you for the call. 1228 01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:39,080 I appreciate you reaching out here. 1229 01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:40,880 We've got to amend something here. 1230 01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,440 Thanks, Ed. We got to amend something here 1231 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,240 like think because sometimes when you say things, even if 1232 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:49,440 they are true, it takes a while to kind of recalibrate based on 1233 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,920 some new evidence because you've said something for so long. 1234 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,920 So I will be the one since I was the first one to tell you that 1235 01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,160 Ben Rice is going to be an absolute superstar. 1236 01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:03,720 You can find the receipts if you want to, but the the the old, 1237 01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,440 you know, the Yankees can't develop position players, which 1238 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,280 I've been saying forever as well, because it's freaking 1239 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,200 true. Well, we have to at least now 1240 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,600 and serve Ben Rice like it's always like, hey, they're good 1241 01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,600 with pitching and they're pitching prospects and they're 1242 01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,080 pitching reclamation project. How about Weathers yesterday? 1243 01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,720 I know the Royals think, but he's throwing a couple gems, 1244 01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:20,640 man. He is. 1245 01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,560 He's got filthy stuff. And we knew that because we know 1246 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,400 he hits 98 as a lefty. So they had to get him healthy 1247 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,120 and get him in whatever lab they have and, and, and see where he 1248 01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,720 goes. But intriguing at least enough 1249 01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:35,040 where you see him and and he's he's he's pretty filthy when 1250 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,600 he's on. But we can say that about 1251 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:41,520 Cashman usually makes pretty astute trades or, you know, find 1252 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:45,280 certain arms under a rock in the offseason and that he's very 1253 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:46,960 good at that. Like as much as Cashman drives 1254 01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,320 me nuts. I've I've always given him 1255 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,360 credit for that because it's his absolute strength. 1256 01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,640 And then the next thing we say is Yankees. 1257 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,160 Can't you know, they always fail position players, which they do. 1258 01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:58,120 I mean, Dominguez is in the minor Spencer Jones to me as a 1259 01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,000 non entity. Bolpy has been wildly 1260 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,000 disappointing. They had Peraza, he did nothing. 1261 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,720 They play against Peraza. He looks like, you know, looks 1262 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:08,400 like Jeter, whatever you look like, right? 1263 01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:11,920 Except on that pop up. Although you did have the pop up 1264 01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:13,760 with Jeter and a Rob, but that was a little different. 1265 01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,840 You know, now you have to say it's not just Aaron Judge. 1266 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:21,320 In terms of development, like developing a young star, it is 1267 01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,960 now Ben Rice. Ben Rice listen, what I said 1268 01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,480 before the season, I said Ben Rice is going to be top ten in 1269 01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:29,640 the MVP. Ben Rice is going to be an All 1270 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:32,360 Star and Ben Rice is going to be the three hitter of the future 1271 01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:33,400 for the Yankees. All right. 1272 01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,040 Now what I'm saying today is I would bat him first. 1273 01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,280 I would bat him first just because you know, when, when you 1274 01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,720 have a young hitter, it's one thing to see like a patient 1275 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:44,120 hitter, but you want to make sure you don't jump the gun and, 1276 01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:47,240 and just kind of take the cheese too early. 1277 01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:53,440 Like his ability to manipulate the strike zone and, and very 1278 01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:57,920 clearly identify what he can square up versus what he can't. 1279 01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,720 You know, not lunging, not flailing, not expanding the zone 1280 01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:03,840 early. It just, you know, he's going to 1281 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:09,040 have a lot of 678 pitch at bats and if you could get 678 pitch 1282 01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:13,080 at bat to start a game and you know, with the pitch clock here, 1283 01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:14,920 you know, you're catching your breath, you're laboring a little 1284 01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:16,480 bit here. Oh, by the way, here comes the 1285 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,720 Jolly Green Giant. You know the the awesome arrow 1286 01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:21,480 Judge who's not even really clicking yet. 1287 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,800 He still has nine home runs after you just threw 7 or 8-9 1288 01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:28,120 pitches to a lead off guy who's either on 2nd with a double, 1289 01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,120 just went yard or on first base for the walk and now you got to 1290 01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,720 go through Judge. Well, Bellinger's going to reap 1291 01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,320 the reward to that. And obviously Aaron Judge will 1292 01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,920 really reap the rewards. And then you just deal with the 1293 01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:40,520 bottom third of the order when you get to it. 1294 01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:47,320 You know, but I if if you tell me that the next 30 games and I 1295 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,920 wouldn't do this, but I want to at least create a conversation 1296 01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,480 like, all right, you're facing a tough lefty. 1297 01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,360 You want to justify dropping Ben Rice down to 5, whatever. 1298 01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:56,520 I'm not going to waste much time on that. 1299 01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:58,680 OK, I don't. I wouldn't do it, but whatever. 1300 01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,240 Every time they face a righty, he should be batting first 1301 01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:03,640 period. That's it. 1302 01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:07,440 I mean, what else do you need to see, you know, And then what you 1303 01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,920 get from that. Obviously that residual impact I 1304 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:13,840 just described with Judge now having seen several 8 pitches, 1305 01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:17,240 the pitcher huffing and puffing, little tired pitch clock, 15 1306 01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,200 seconds, going, going, going, going. 1307 01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:21,960 Now he's got a face, ERA, Judge, guys on base, whatever. 1308 01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:26,400 But now you can then put Grisham in like that six or seven hole 1309 01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,560 and that's where he should be. He is not a lead off hitter. 1310 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,360 That's been my biggest source of consternation. 1311 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,440 And there's been a bunch with the Yankees there construction 1312 01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,920 here. But, you know, I mean, how how 1313 01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:39,640 are we going to look each other in the eye and say, yeah, the 1314 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,560 Yanks going to win the World Series when you got a guy 1315 01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,400 hitting lead off who none of none of us believe is a lead off 1316 01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,800 hitter in front of the great Aaron Judge? 1317 01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:50,520 Like it's untenable. So Ben Wright should be the lead 1318 01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,000 off hitter. And I remember I was talking to 1319 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:56,040 Aaron Boone. This was after the live show, 1320 01:04:56,720 --> 01:05:00,080 which was January. When was this? 1321 01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,160 I think he just called to check in, see how things were going 1322 01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:07,040 after the fan and everything. So I think he had just gotten 1323 01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:11,560 down to Tampa. So it was like middle February, 1324 01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:13,800 remember? Actually, yeah, it was it was it 1325 01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:17,520 was middle to late February. There was a maybe John Boy, and 1326 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,880 if not, my bad. Somebody like kind of read the 1327 01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,880 red lips, right? Anyway, Boone was in the bullpen 1328 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:29,680 and Cole was throwing and somebody thought that he said 98 1329 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,160 miles an hour, right? That's what they thought he 1330 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:33,920 said. And so when I was talking to 1331 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:35,800 Aaron, I'm like, oh, Cody, Cody Boone. 1332 01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:37,600 Jeez, Cody Boone, what are we doing? 1333 01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:42,000 Cole, he hit 98 on the gun. He's like, no, he's like, I saw 1334 01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:43,840 that going around. He's like it wasn't quite 98. 1335 01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:45,440 It was a little bit lower. Now I'm like, OK, And then we 1336 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:47,600 start talking. I said Ben Rice is going to have 1337 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:51,440 an OPS over 900 this year. He's like, it's, you know, he's 1338 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,200 like he's terrific. He goes that that's a little 1339 01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:54,520 high. I'm like, no, it's not. 1340 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:56,400 I'm he's going to have an OPS over 900. 1341 01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,840 He's like he's he's young. He's still figuring things out. 1342 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:00,320 He's like, I love him. He's awesome. 1343 01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,680 He can he can rake. But I mean, I've been on this 1344 01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:06,440 Ben Rice, you know, train. I've been driving it from day 1345 01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,000 one. Like, what else do you need to 1346 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,560 see? Every freaking ball, the guy 1347 01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:14,480 hits hard every ball. And then what's going to happen 1348 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:18,200 is as his reputation grows around the league, now they're 1349 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,480 going to nibble a little bit more and he ain't going to 1350 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,360 swing. Pitch count goes up. 1351 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,000 Aaron Judge eventually gets up with guys on base. 1352 01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:28,680 You know his, you know, it's the on base percentage for Ben Rice 1353 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,640 soars and they got a guy who's going to be top ten of the MVP. 1354 01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:33,360 You can book it. He's going to be that guy. 1355 01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:40,840 I got to tell you, I was absolutely stunned. 1356 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:44,040 By the way, if you guys are on the show, watching live, like 1357 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:46,520 it, subscribe it, check it out. If you knew, welcome to beating 1358 01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:48,160 Unleashed. Hopefully everybody is doing 1359 01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:49,320 great. Going to be an awesome week, 1360 01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:53,080 man, between the draft, between the mess of the Mets, you know, 1361 01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:54,520 a little spark. I'm not going to go nuts. 1362 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:56,520 It's the Royals. But a little spark with the 1363 01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,880 Yankees here getting the sticks going Knicks up 1 zip playing 1364 01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:02,320 tonight. Fun And all the NFL stuff will 1365 01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,360 be national. Like it won't just be Jets and 1366 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,560 Giants. But but this particular aspect 1367 01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:08,360 right here is is obviously local. 1368 01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:14,160 Very, very rarely have I been stunned when I saw something 1369 01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:16,520 pertaining recently to The Jets and the Giants. 1370 01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,480 Really, I wasn't stunned that they got horrible because there 1371 01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,800 was, you know, we were talking about that like go out and get a 1372 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:23,840 different coach and go out and take a bit whether it's Tomlin, 1373 01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,360 whether it's horrible, Like there was speculation about 1374 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,320 that. Really for a while that wasn't 1375 01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,080 stunned. I was impressed. 1376 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,680 Great move by the Giants. But when I saw the other night 1377 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,200 that the Giants got the 10th pick in the draft for Dexter 1378 01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,880 Lawrence, I was legitimately stunned. 1379 01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:45,760 And everybody that I came across this weekend, and I was watching 1380 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:49,200 baseball and softball all weekend, my kids, there were a 1381 01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:51,680 lot of, you know, a lot of people that came up and said, 1382 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,160 dude, they got the the 10th pick for Lawrence. 1383 01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,360 I'm like, I'm stunned. That's a phenomenal job by the 1384 01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:02,560 New York Giants twofold #1 they did the right thing. 1385 01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,160 He don't want to be here texting. 1386 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:05,120 Lawrence doesn't want to be here. 1387 01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:10,160 See, to me, it's sometimes you make a case and it's about 1388 01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,520 money. And I think some of you thought 1389 01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,920 that it was always rooted just in more money. 1390 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,439 I never thought that he wanted to be here anymore. 1391 01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,439 And I said that that's why when it came up on the show last 1392 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,200 week, I'm like, he's gone. There's no chance. 1393 01:08:23,399 --> 01:08:28,279 This was literally documentable. There is no chance the Giants 1394 01:08:28,279 --> 01:08:30,439 are giving him an extension. It's not happening. 1395 01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:33,760 Not with that size body, not with the, you know, the, the, 1396 01:08:34,319 --> 01:08:37,760 the fall off in play and not with the new culture. 1397 01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,640 Like if you don't want to be here, then we're going to 1398 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,439 accommodate you, provided we're not getting $0.50 on the dollar. 1399 01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:45,560 Honestly. And I thought that's what I'm 1400 01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,040 like, hey, as long as they don't get, I think I said 60, long as 1401 01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:49,520 they don't get $0.60 on the dollar. 1402 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,080 He's an ex Giant. He's going to be Dell. 1403 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:55,920 I think the giants got a hundred $1.15 on the dollar number ten 1404 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,760 pick. So what the giants could do now 1405 01:08:59,319 --> 01:09:03,920 really does change And like it, it just an it was just awesome. 1406 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:07,080 It was just a great move. And if you're a Giant fan and 1407 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:10,120 you're unhappy about this, I think you're wildly missing the 1408 01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:14,960 mark because now the Giants have a chance to they can do one of a 1409 01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:19,359 couple things here. So let let me kind of correlate 1410 01:09:19,359 --> 01:09:21,040 this to The Jets of two and 16, right? 1411 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:25,560 So for a while I've said for The Jets, obviously defensive 216, 1412 01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,520 they can do a lot of things. They can trade out then go tight 1413 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:29,760 end from Oregon. They could go corner. 1414 01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,520 I think that's in play. They can obviously trade up. 1415 01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,920 There was reports of that last week, Jets moving into the top 1416 01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,760 10 to take a wide receiver with the Commanders at 7:00. 1417 01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:40,920 We discussed that, right? So that to me, there's like 3 or 1418 01:09:41,399 --> 01:09:43,439 again, defense, defense. They're not going offense at 1419 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,040 2:00. There's only so many things I 1420 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,040 could see The Jets doing. They're not taking Ty Simpson, 1421 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:51,279 the Giants now with this move. Think about what this opens up. 1422 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:57,200 They they're to me, I bet almost every penny I have defensive 5, 1423 01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:01,480 whether or or trade out at 5:00 to still get a defender. 1424 01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:05,320 You want to get. You know, I mean, I wouldn't 1425 01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:09,040 trade out because I think the downs and Sonny Styles will both 1426 01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,760 be there at 5. You know, I don't think I wish 1427 01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:13,680 The Jets would pick one of them, but I don't think they will 1428 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,520 right now. I think it's been it's been 1429 01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,520 those are one. I think it's even though it's 1430 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,360 we've seen from some fluctuations. 1431 01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,440 I think it's going to be Reese 2. 1432 01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:29,160 I think it's going to be Jeremiah Love 3 at 4, Tennessee 1433 01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:34,720 could be could be all lineman, could very well should be all 1434 01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:36,520 lineman. And then you got the Giants. 1435 01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:41,080 And even if even if Tennessee 4 picks styles, you got downs. 1436 01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,400 If Tennessee picks downs, you got styles. 1437 01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,040 So to me, Giants are walking away with somebody. 1438 01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,720 I want my team to get that. I don't believe that they will 1439 01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,640 at #5 now the Giants, I don't know how they feel about Ruben 1440 01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,240 Bayne or some of these other players say if they're if it 1441 01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,760 barely doesn't go too, I think there's a chance Bailey, you 1442 01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:02,600 know, drops, not crazy drop, but maybe if the Giants love him and 1443 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,120 I don't know if they do, maybe the Giants could trade out of 1444 01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:07,960 five, get some more capital and then maybe take somebody like 1445 01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:10,520 Bailey or Ruben Bain. There is. 1446 01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,080 And then obviously at 10:00, you got to see what's going on with 1447 01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:17,320 the wide receiver market opens up all sorts of activity and 1448 01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:21,680 possibilities for the Giants. The Giants had that was a great 1449 01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:25,400 moment to me, that could be transformative moment. 1450 01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,440 You know, I I stopped short of saying that because it's not 1451 01:11:28,440 --> 01:11:31,080 going to include a quarterback, obviously, because Jackson 1452 01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:36,480 Dart's here and I love Dart, but you know, I mean what the Giants 1453 01:11:36,480 --> 01:11:40,840 are thinking and what the Giants are doing, you got to be beyond 1454 01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:42,280 stoked. If you're a Giants fan, you have 1455 01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:43,840 to be. All right, Jay, what do we got 1456 01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:44,520 up next? Who's the? 1457 01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:46,800 Call. We got Javier from the Bronx. 1458 01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,200 All right up in the Bronx with the people, the fresh Javier is 1459 01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:52,080 on BT Unleashed. Javier, What's going on Javier? 1460 01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:56,480 Hey, BT, how's it going? It is going well. 1461 01:11:56,480 --> 01:12:00,320 How you doing all? Right, so I have a next 1462 01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:03,800 question. So. 1463 01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:11,960 I got a question coming down to Jalen Brunson and Kat, you see? 1464 01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,720 They had amazing games in game one. 1465 01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:20,840 Do you think that there will be more games in the playoffs where 1466 01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:25,200 the next give more playing time to their backup players? 1467 01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,280 Well, I mean that that's something you got to watch 1468 01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,080 there, Javier. And and thank you for the call 1469 01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:31,920 very much shout out up there to the Bronx. 1470 01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:34,600 Javier checking in. Let me listen. 1471 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:36,680 I I think it depends on the tone of the game. 1472 01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:38,800 I mean, if the Knicks are up big, then they they've got a 1473 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,440 bench that they that they trust Deuce is going to get minutes no 1474 01:12:41,440 --> 01:12:42,880 matter what. Clarkson's going to play. 1475 01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,440 Mitch is going to play. I I don't think you're going to 1476 01:12:45,440 --> 01:12:48,560 see some out of nowhere recalibration of how the Knicks 1477 01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,000 are going to play there. They've got their big minutes 1478 01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:54,320 guys, you know, obviously depends on this Cat have foul 1479 01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:57,680 issues at at at some point he's going to I would have met like 1480 01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:59,800 real foul issues at some point. We saw that last year. 1481 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,000 We saw Brunson battle foul issues last year in the playoffs 1482 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:05,040 too. So I think it's really night 1483 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:06,920 tonight depended upon who you're playing. 1484 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:09,080 Each matchup is a little different. 1485 01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:11,560 You know, this matchup with Atlanta, who's not a really good 1486 01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:15,240 offensive team, but they've got some some challenging defenders, 1487 01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:19,440 good rebounding team. It's going to be different from, 1488 01:13:19,480 --> 01:13:22,000 you know, if and when they they say, well, let's let's deal with 1489 01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:23,880 round one before we assume there's a round two. 1490 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,280 But you know, the Celtics waiting in the weeds, whatever 1491 01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,080 it might be, that's a different team. 1492 01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,960 That's a championship team. More two way players tougher, 1493 01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:32,960 tougher matchup. That's how I think it's really 1494 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,040 matchup specific. But no, we're not going to see 1495 01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:38,760 some marked change here. Where guys like, I think 1496 01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:42,120 Brunson, as long as everybody's healthy and there's no foul 1497 01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:46,000 issues, Brunson's going to go 35 minutes a game and Cat'll be low 1498 01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,080 30s and Bridges and OG will be mid to high 30s. 1499 01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,840 And you know, Deuce will be around that 2018 to 22 minute 1500 01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,000 mark, Mitch, depending upon what's going on with Cat, same 1501 01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:57,560 thing. So, yeah, I mean, that's that's 1502 01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:03,440 the way I see the, excuse me, the Knicks rotation, Sean, B50D. 1503 01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,680 Let's see here. We should have kept Marte. 1504 01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:08,760 He was the leader, came up with big celebration. 1505 01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:10,960 Soto said the same thing. He was the glue. 1506 01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:14,720 Him and others gone, proving they got rid of the wrong guys. 1507 01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:16,280 All right now, Sean, here's the thing right. 1508 01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:21,200 So Starling Marte, come on. I I hear you. 1509 01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,480 And I know that Marte was the one. 1510 01:14:23,480 --> 01:14:26,240 I remember this last year, like when Soto went there and Soto 1511 01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:29,120 wasn't really feeling some of the vibes, just wanted, just 1512 01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:31,000 wants to hit. I mean, once Soto's not an 1513 01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:34,920 actor, he's not a performer. He's not doing a Broadway tap 1514 01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:36,760 dance out there with these celebrations. 1515 01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:41,520 Juan Soto is in his own laboratory and he is a mad 1516 01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:43,920 scientist when it comes to hitting and anything that gets 1517 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:47,160 in his way or alters his routine. 1518 01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:50,760 He ain't having like he just and I get it, he's paid to hit. 1519 01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,000 But Marte's like, come on, man. We this is kind of how we do it, 1520 01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,320 whether it's the OMG sign or whatever they might do right. 1521 01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:59,720 And that was good for the Mets and now not good. 1522 01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:03,280 Like Marte was on the team last year and then 183 games. 1523 01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:07,520 So, you know, if there was and I I just can't buy that. 1524 01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,240 You can't have a payroll of whatever the heck the Mets. 1525 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:11,840 I don't need 370. I don't even know where the Mets 1526 01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,280 are at this point. I'll say 370 and look at 1527 01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:18,720 somebody like Sterling Marte, who's been hurt a lot and 1528 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:20,960 outside of a a really good first year with the Mets and I like 1529 01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:24,880 Marte go ball, play ball player, could run, good arm, could feel, 1530 01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:27,320 could hit when he's healthy, good, solid ball player. 1531 01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:29,960 But like you should not be looking at somebody like Marte 1532 01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,480 as the reason why the Mets are falling apart if that's the 1533 01:15:32,480 --> 01:15:34,640 case. I mean, that is just hopeless at 1534 01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,720 this point. I mean, really just hopeless, 1535 01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,520 you know, And I don't believe that it's hopeless, but I'm 1536 01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:43,720 saying like specific to that. It's dire, it's dark, it's not 1537 01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,480 hopeless yet, but boy, they better start winning some games, 1538 01:15:46,480 --> 01:15:47,840 otherwise Mendy's going to get whacked. 1539 01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:53,560 Next up, what do you got Jay? We've got St. from London, UK. 1540 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:57,200 Wow, look at this class and things up here. 1541 01:15:57,440 --> 01:16:00,760 St. across the pond in London.

He seems fairly measured. 1552 01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:34,480 Listen, it is April, man, But I mean, 11 straight it is. 1553 01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:37,840 It is not a good look. So I appreciate the con words. 1554 01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:39,320 And Woody got all those jets. Let's go. 1555 01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:42,120 Yeah, man. So look, it's about pretty much 1556 01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:46,480 a lock that A.J. Brown is going to the Patriots. 1557 01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,960 With that being said, we know that Muji's, you know, working 1558 01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:54,720 the gears, shifting them and doing good stuff. 1559 01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:59,120 Yeah, I'm just thinking, you know, you look back at source, 1560 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,280 right? Or you like to call like that 1561 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:03,920 was a good pick at the time, right. 1562 01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:07,520 So I'm, I reckon I recognize if we're going to our division is. 1563 01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:08,680 Tough, right? Yeah. 1564 01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:13,720 Now we got to contain with A.J. Brown, who do you see The Jets 1565 01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:18,000 taking in terms of a corner and who would that corner be if you 1566 01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:22,040 were like I I like McCoy. I I know he's dropping a little 1567 01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:24,200 bit here. I like McCoy see, but here's the 1568 01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,680 one thing right? So I got to push back a little 1569 01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:30,520 bit on the philosophy and I do think The Jets are going to walk 1570 01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:31,920 away with the corner. I I really do. 1571 01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:33,200 So I think that your instincts are right. 1572 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:38,040 But St. where The Jets are, and I do understand a lot of moves 1573 01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:41,600 that a lot of teams make at various points in their growth 1574 01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:46,000 and their roster construction are made to be able to 1575 01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:49,960 counteract a team that is in their way to a championship. 1576 01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:53,000 The Jets are nowhere near there. So like, I'm not looking at and 1577 01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,440 I do agree, I think A.J. Brown is gonna be on the paths 1578 01:17:55,440 --> 01:17:58,680 at some point, probably within the next couple of days before 1579 01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,760 the draft, whatever draft night. But The Jets are a three win 1580 01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:04,280 circus with with with nothing until proven otherwise. 1581 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,480 I'm not drafting a corner just because the Patriots are going 1582 01:18:07,480 --> 01:18:08,400 to get A.J. Brown. 1583 01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,760 Like, I'm not going to get even though you need a defensive end, 1584 01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,000 but I I'm not just going to reach for a defensive end or do 1585 01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,240 something just because Josh Allen's up in Buffalo. 1586 01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,200 I've got to build my team and the old line is set. 1587 01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,480 And no, they need corner help. No doubt you need a wide 1588 01:18:24,480 --> 01:18:27,200 receiver #2 no doubt you need a safety. 1589 01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,480 You need another linebacker like The Jets need so much. 1590 01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:34,040 I appreciate your thought. And if you're not wrong, it's 1591 01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,080 just you're, you're speeding up the timeline. 1592 01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:38,200 I'm not there yet, if that makes sense to you. 1593 01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,800 It does make sense to me. But you know why I was speeding 1594 01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,480 up the timeline is because let's be honest, if we're at three 1595 01:18:44,480 --> 01:18:47,160 wins circles this year, Glenn is gone. 1596 01:18:47,480 --> 01:18:50,480 He's he's toast as he should be. And you know that. 1597 01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:53,480 So I'm just worried about we're going to start the whole process 1598 01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:55,200 all all over again. You know what I mean? 1599 01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:58,520 Well, to me St. And thanks for the call, man. 1600 01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,520 That is awesome. We're taking calls from London. 1601 01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:03,520 Look at this, TJ Rod, how phenomenal is this? 1602 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,400 Cooking with gas. That's all I can say. 1603 01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:09,480 Super super nice dude. Also just a great question. 1604 01:19:09,480 --> 01:19:12,000 Like I I really enjoy. Yeah, no, me too. 1605 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:13,640 All right, so. So here's the thing. 1606 01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:19,440 Like if you think about the his last point about Aaron Glenn 1607 01:19:19,440 --> 01:19:22,160 three wins circle, let's say if they're Jets aren't going to win 1608 01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,120 three games again, I just can't envision that, but it might not 1609 01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:27,320 be enough to justify retaining Glenn. 1610 01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:31,200 But let's settle on let's be ambitious. 1611 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:34,960 Let's say The Jets win four or five, right? 1612 01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:38,840 Jets go 5:00 and 12:00 and it's an ugly enough 5 and 12 where 1613 01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:44,520 Glenn is fired. OK, well, I know this is going 1614 01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:47,400 to sound counterintuitive here because it's The Jets, but to 1615 01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:52,320 me, think about how many people, I mean real coaches and, and I'm 1616 01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:55,520 hoping Aaron's the guy. I know he's a leader of men. 1617 01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,760 I don't know if he can coach, but like, I'm not just trying to 1618 01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:00,880 dump on the guy. I respect Aaron Glenn 1619 01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:04,360 tremendously. I really hope it works, but if 1620 01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:07,040 it doesn't. Think about how attractive The 1621 01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:10,840 Jets job is going to be if and when Aaron Glenn is fired after 1622 01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:13,800 his second year. You got three first round picks 1623 01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:16,720 next year. You've got you control the 1624 01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:20,120 entire 2027 draft. Theoretically, no matter what 1625 01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:23,040 the record is, you going to have access to any quarterback that 1626 01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:26,680 you want coming out of college. Financially, they're still very 1627 01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:28,520 solvent. Their finances are in great 1628 01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:29,640 order. All right. 1629 01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:34,720 And you have a good offensive line with bookend tackles on 1630 01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:36,280 each side. You know what I mean? 1631 01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:39,840 So to me that's a pretty attractive job. 1632 01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:45,920 It's not like you coming in and you know, you got a, you got a 1633 01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:52,000 Swiss cheese old line and you're $37 million over the cap and you 1634 01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:55,000 have no first round draft picks because you traded them all away 1635 01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:56,520 and none of the trades worked out. 1636 01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:01,640 It's, I know it sounds insane to say this, but The Jets would be, 1637 01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:05,520 that would be a very attractive NFL job and not just because 1638 01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:08,280 it's 1 of 32, which is whatever, 01 of 30. 1639 01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,760 Of course, a good job. It would be an attractive job 1640 01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:12,960 because it would be an attractive job. 1641 01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:15,200 All right, Next up, Jay, what do you got there, brother? 1642 01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:21,000 We've got a blind beard from 5. Blind beard from where? 1643 01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:24,240 He's calling from the financial district. 1644 01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:26,040 Oh, the Fi die? Come on, Fi die. 1645 01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:28,800 I'm not calling a Fi die, sorry. Sorry. 1646 01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:33,840 What the Hell's fi die? And I worked down there at one 1647 01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,600 point over at when I was in the IRA department. 1648 01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:39,600 All right, so blind beard, what up there Blind. 1649 01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:41,160 How you doing today?

I thought it would be a good way 1653 01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:56,520 to kick off the teeth and feel like exciting, you know, kick 1654 01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,320 off the marriage, you know, with a win and you know. 1655 01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,320 These guys stink.

Was Mr. Met? 1660 01:22:14,480 --> 01:22:18,600 Was Mr. Met maybe hitting on the on the bridal party a little 1661 01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:19,680 bit? Was he behaving himself? 1662 01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:21,400 What? He was definitely behaving 1663 01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,280 himself. You know, he he went straight 1664 01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:25,360 for my wife as soon as he got off the elevator. 1665 01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:28,040 All right, so, yeah, hopefully he has good taste. 1666 01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:30,360 I I got you. What what is I'm curious, what's 1667 01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:32,240 the going rate like? Not, not to get too personal on 1668 01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:35,240 the finance, but what does Mr. Met charge like for Bob Mitts 1669 01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:36,040 for a wedding?

I, I worked there when I was 1744 01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:42,680 trying to get into the business, Jay. 1745 01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,040 My first job was, was on Wall Street. 1746 01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,160 Really. I had no idea what I was doing, 1747 01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:50,160 bro. And I have no interest to really 1748 01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:52,080 learn what I was doing. That's so funny. 1749 01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:54,680 I'm. Like you want to laugh This this 1750 01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:55,080 is. Yeah. 1751 01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:56,880 How did I mean, how did you get into that? 1752 01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,960 I'm curious. So after my dad, my dad was a 1753 01:25:59,960 --> 01:26:02,480 detective, you know? So after that, he opened up his 1754 01:26:02,480 --> 01:26:04,240 own business, right? Yeah. 1755 01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:06,000 My dad was a hustler. And God bless him, he was 1756 01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,640 working. At one point he was working at 1757 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:12,840 an employment agency, you know, a lot in the financial sector 1758 01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:15,280 and he had multiple jobs and he's going to college at night 1759 01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,000 too. I'm like, my dad is is a worker 1760 01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:18,440 man. That's where I got it from. 1761 01:26:18,440 --> 01:26:20,480 My mom is too, but that's where I got that work ethic. 1762 01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:24,680 I'm very proud of that. And so he he had, you know, he 1763 01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:28,160 had all these connections and he kept saying, you know, because 1764 01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:29,480 he knew I wanted to be on the air. 1765 01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:31,720 And he's like, you know, it's going to not that you can't do 1766 01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,000 it's going to be hard. He's like, you know, just, you 1767 01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:36,720 know, just take the police test, you know, go just in case 1768 01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:39,480 finance. I'm like, I'm not interested. 1769 01:26:39,480 --> 01:26:43,680 I don't want to say that. But finally, you know, I, he got 1770 01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:47,320 me a good job as I was waiting to get on the air and I was at 1771 01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:51,000 Fidelity, right, The IRA department, right? 1772 01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:54,040 No idea what I was doing and what I used to do. 1773 01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:57,240 I played in the Wall Street Softball League, which was. 1774 01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:01,360 Yeah. Yeah, we had a great team and it 1775 01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,040 was so much fun. We would, you know, we were, it 1776 01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:05,960 was competitive too. We would play and then we'd bang 1777 01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:09,440 back beers after the game. Like, Gee, it was just, I was, I 1778 01:27:09,440 --> 01:27:11,000 was just a fidelity for the social scene. 1779 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:11,920 I'm not gonna lie. There, right? 1780 01:27:12,480 --> 01:27:14,920 And what I would do is, it's funny because as I was trying to 1781 01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:17,480 get my, my big break into the business, I have a journalism 1782 01:27:17,480 --> 01:27:19,760 degree, as you know, from Marist. 1783 01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:23,280 And I would write instead of like actually doing the IRA 1784 01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:27,800 work, I would write preview articles right of our softball 1785 01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:29,560 game that night. OK, it's. 1786 01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,280 A true story. And then what I would do is I 1787 01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:36,040 would take like pictures of Yankees and Mets from the 1788 01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:39,360 newspaper, right? This is what is wrong with me 1789 01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:44,480 and and cut them out and then kind of and then put them like 1790 01:27:44,480 --> 01:27:47,680 tape them to the article that I wrote and then put the article 1791 01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:49,200 that I wrote through a copy machine. 1792 01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,040 And then so then you wouldn't see tape. 1793 01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:54,240 It would kind of blend into the to the paper and then underneath 1794 01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:57,880 it I would write like, you know, so and so with a or or a recap, 1795 01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:01,120 A recap and a preview. So and so with a maybe if you 1796 01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:03,720 still Paul O'Neill right. So when you know, but a guy that 1797 01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:07,960 I played with, you know, Joe Joe X, Joe X launches A2 run bomb as 1798 01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:11,640 the you know, I mean, the guys loved it, dude. 1799 01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:14,480 They they couldn't wait. I would just walk around the 1800 01:28:14,480 --> 01:28:16,640 floor. I would I didn't do any work. 1801 01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,960 I would just basically write write ups for the softball team 1802 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:23,800 and go out, play softball and basically hang out every night. 1803 01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:25,520 It's the best it was. Cool. 1804 01:28:27,440 --> 01:28:30,240 But you didn't even catch me. If I die, I mean, come on. 1805 01:28:30,480 --> 01:28:31,720 That's that's where I'm like, no. 1806 01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:36,920 I think that's probably a my generation way of calling it 1807 01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:39,040 that area because that's just like what everyone I know, 1808 01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:40,960 they're like, oh, we grab food and five die. 1809 01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:42,320 Oh, it's so nice and five die. I've. 1810 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:43,640 Got is that what you you say it's all right. 1811 01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,640 I mean, listen, I'm not going to if that's the verbiage for the 1812 01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:49,680 young crew, I'm that's fine. I mean, I'm sure at some point, 1813 01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:52,280 you know, Soho, I I grew up saying Soho. 1814 01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,720 I'm sure at some point Soho to the older generation sounded 1815 01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:58,280 like, oh, why are we calling Soho like like to me have. 1816 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:02,480 You heard of like Dimes Square? God, what? 1817 01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:02,880 What? What? 1818 01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:06,560 Is no, no, it's not like an acronym for anything. 1819 01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:10,880 It's like people call that. It's like the area below, like 1820 01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:14,120 Valerie in Chinatown. Like South of there? 1821 01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:17,720 I don't know, but it's just like now they're just all these like 1822 01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:21,600 strange names you kind of got to get a little grasp on. 1823 01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:24,720 Oh my God. Oh my God. 1824 01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:29,040 Already must end the season. My entire team sucks at PG 1825 01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:33,680 seventeens under score 89. I mean it's I would I would have 1826 01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:35,320 to think it's going to get a little bit better. 1827 01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:37,600 I certainly hope so J rod get another cold or two. 1828 01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:38,720 Let's see what's going on with that. 1829 01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:41,000 Let's pop them up, Nick. From. 1830 01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:44,440 I'm sorry Nick from I didn't hear. 1831 01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:49,720 Nick from Let me see, Honestly, I I I don't have in the chat 1832 01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:50,800 where he's calling from. That's all. 1833 01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:52,200 I just pop up. Oh, good. 1834 01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:52,960 I can handle it. That's all. 1835 01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:53,880 Good. Nick, where are you calling 1836 01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:55,680 from? I believe Nick is up. 1837 01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:59,520 Nick, where are you buddy? I'm infied I the. 1838 01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:02,280 I actually am by walls. OK. 1839 01:30:02,480 --> 01:30:03,120 All right. No. 1840 01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:05,080 Nice. What's up, Nick? 1841 01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:09,280 I got AI got a question for you that I threw out to my friends. 1842 01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:14,800 We're all big Jet fans. Could be, could be stupid, but 1843 01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:22,320 wanted to run it by you. So we essentially have 66 top 1844 01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:26,360 picks in the next two drafts. We got the, you know, the top of 1845 01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:29,120 the second round and the two first and then three first next 1846 01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:32,400 year. What? 1847 01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:37,040 If so, the consensus is probably Ty Simpson Is the #2 quarterback 1848 01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:39,040 in this? There's no, yeah, there's no 1849 01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:41,040 probably. Whether you like Simpson, he's 1850 01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:44,560 100% number two behind. The and I don't even know I I've 1851 01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:46,040 only seen him a handful of times. 1852 01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,560 Obviously, you know, nobody knows what, what these guys are 1853 01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:52,320 going to do. But what if The Jets with one of 1854 01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:55,000 those picks, whether they trade I I don't know what they're 1855 01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:57,240 going to do. But let's say they take reset to 1856 01:30:57,240 --> 01:31:02,800 and then either at 1633, whatever they do, they draft 1857 01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:05,160 Simpson. Now you're drafting a kid who's 1858 01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:08,120 barely played college football as a start. 1859 01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:10,160 I think he only played one year as a starter. 1860 01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:11,400 Right. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, he did. 1861 01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:11,800 Yeah. Yeah. 1862 01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:13,440 At bat. But they're not taking up at 16. 1863 01:31:13,440 --> 01:31:16,240 I don't mean to jump on you and cut you off, but let's have a 1864 01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:18,640 realistic conversation. There is no chance that Jets 1865 01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:21,320 take him at 16. I don't even think that there's 1866 01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:22,720 much of a chance that they draft him. 1867 01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:25,480 I have at all. I happen to like Simpson a 1868 01:31:25,480 --> 01:31:28,120 little bit more than most because I watched him play a lot 1869 01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:31,000 and I understood that Alabama couldn't run the football this 1870 01:31:31,080 --> 01:31:32,480 year. He was, they were like, 1871 01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:34,760 statistically I've gone through this, I don't need to go through 1872 01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:37,040 it again. But statistically awful, always 1873 01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:39,040 behind the chains. He got hurt, he got sick. 1874 01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:41,600 He lost about 12 lbs. So we really withered away a 1875 01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:43,200 little bit. Then he got hurt in the 1876 01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:45,480 playoffs. I'd like Ty Simpson, he's the 1877 01:31:45,480 --> 01:31:48,240 son of a coach, but I don't like him at 16. 1878 01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:50,360 You want to tell? I don't even to me, there's 1879 01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:53,160 going to be so many good players, whether it's corners or 1880 01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:57,240 maybe even like, you know, Denzel Boston from, from 1881 01:31:57,320 --> 01:32:00,720 Washington, a receiver that you could get in 33. 1882 01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:03,240 I just don't, I think there's really any chance that Jets mess 1883 01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:09,040 around, take Ty Simpson at all. I I agree, but considering all 1884 01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:12,400 the draft capital they have, if they drafted him, let's say at 1885 01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:14,640 33, let's think he's still there. 1886 01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:19,280 I know that they need players, they need all the good players 1887 01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:22,120 that they can. Can you not draft him? 1888 01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:27,600 Red shirt him and use him as leverage for the 2027 draft if 1889 01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:29,800 we end up winning six or seven games. 1890 01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:30,880 Yeah. But Nick, hold on a SEC. 1891 01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:33,080 Nick, they think about what do you mean leverage, like to maybe 1892 01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:35,520 trade him somewhere else. Either trade him or if you 1893 01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:37,560 really like his development then he's your. 1894 01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:39,480 Then you roll with him next year and. 1895 01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:40,800 You OK first? Round picks. 1896 01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:44,440 I I would not do that. I I don't like that at all. 1897 01:32:44,440 --> 01:32:46,400 Now think about this. I don't think even if they did 1898 01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:51,440 that at 33, which is a much more amenable to that than at 16 like 1899 01:32:51,440 --> 01:32:53,200 that, there's no way that's happening, Nick. 1900 01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:55,840 So if it was at 33, I wouldn't go nuts. 1901 01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:57,680 But I don't think he's going to play much. 1902 01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:00,240 And if he doesn't play much, he's really not leveraged for 1903 01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:03,160 another team because he's not going to put much on film this 1904 01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:05,520 year. See, I think they'd be better 1905 01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:09,680 off not putting him on film this year and taking him at 33 and 1906 01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:13,720 saying like, all right, here's your your supposedly. 1907 01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:16,720 Like a red shirt year. Yeah, because listen, if they, 1908 01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:21,120 if I, I know the fans and like myself will be at games by week 1909 01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:24,480 6 saying, you know, put the kid in, but you know, then by week 1910 01:33:24,480 --> 01:33:26,360 10 we'll ruin him and it'll be worth nothing. 1911 01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:29,360 If you red shirt him and you like his development, you keep 1912 01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:31,360 him. If you if you have the number 1913 01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:34,560 one pick next year because we suck, then you could you could 1914 01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:38,240 potentially trade him and get back a first and four or a 1915 01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:40,280 couple of picks in the 2027 draft. 1916 01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:43,320 I got it. I like Nick and thanks for the 1917 01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:45,280 call there, buddy. Nick's doing a good job 1918 01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:47,160 presenting some different scenarios. 1919 01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,960 It's not a scenario that I'm really looking to subscribe to, 1920 01:33:50,440 --> 01:33:53,560 but creative and and realistic. I mean, it's not like it's just 1921 01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:57,120 some over the top, you know, preposterous presentation where 1922 01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:58,960 you're like, come on, dude, what are you, what are you doing? 1923 01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:00,920 Like, I mean, it's it's fairly viable. 1924 01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:03,760 Yeah. One thing about The Jets, here 1925 01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:05,920 we are a couple of days before the draft, right? 1926 01:34:06,280 --> 01:34:08,040 And we're still guessing what they're doing. 1927 01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:10,520 You know, for a while it was Reese, then it was Bailey, then 1928 01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:12,760 Bailey didn't go for the workout or for the meeting, I should 1929 01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:14,400 say. I don't think that's a big deal 1930 01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:18,800 at all, but some people did. But we really don't have much 1931 01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:22,160 Intel from The Jets. And as much as we want it, 1932 01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:28,080 that's such a good thing. So when I say that, like, I 1933 01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:32,080 really believe in Darren Moogie and the early signs of of what 1934 01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:35,560 he's what he's done as a young general manager coming from a 1935 01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:37,720 good winning, stable organization as well. 1936 01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:40,160 Don't forget about that. Like he was with the Broncos. 1937 01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:42,560 It's like he came to the Cardinals or, you know, the 1938 01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:45,280 Browns. It was from a pretty healthy 1939 01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:49,160 building and very well respected and young and and willing to 1940 01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:52,000 take some big swings and do some stuff inside the margins like he 1941 01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:55,200 did early in the year, picking up scraps from other rosters. 1942 01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:58,960 Whatever. I I love the fact that there's 1943 01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:02,080 just no whispers. All The Jets are doing this. 1944 01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:04,040 All The Jets are thinking about doing that. 1945 01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:07,160 Like there's a lot of conjecture because that's what you get with 1946 01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:10,800 the NFL draft. But the leaks, I mean, The Jets 1947 01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:16,040 building seems to be pretty sealed shot pretty quiet, pretty 1948 01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:19,120 business. Like what was the last time you 1949 01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:23,120 could say that about The Jets? Really of the blind Beard just 1950 01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:24,840 called this in. Thanks for having me on, guys. 1951 01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:27,280 You're awesome. J Rod BT would love to invite 1952 01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:29,440 you guys to one of my comedy shows. 1953 01:35:29,440 --> 01:35:30,880 Well, let us know where you're playing. 1954 01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:32,280 Thank you for that, Mister Beard. 1955 01:35:32,720 --> 01:35:35,600 And yeah, listen, I've been to a comedy show in a while. 1956 01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:38,920 Last one I went to. Oh my God, he just eviscerated 1957 01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:40,320 every single. I'm not going to do it. 1958 01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:42,160 Even though it's YouTube you could you get away with? 1959 01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:46,720 I mean, it was it was so vile. I'm like, I remember laughing 1960 01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:48,480 and then of course he hit me. He crushed me too. 1961 01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:53,240 I remember laughing at something that was really out of bounds, 1962 01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:56,520 man. And you know, I, I'm pretty loud 1963 01:35:57,160 --> 01:36:00,000 and it like, I think the whole place heard me because it was a 1964 01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:03,800 smaller venue and my wife gave me an elbow like, all right, 1965 01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:05,400 come on, that was funny. But you know, you don't 1966 01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:07,120 everybody need to know that you were laughing at that. 1967 01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:10,720 And The funny thing was when, and I love comedy shows. 1968 01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:12,120 I really do. I haven't seen the men. 1969 01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:16,640 I haven't seen a ton, but I love them and I was at one and this 1970 01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:19,040 particular right by Cafe Wah, by the way. 1971 01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:20,800 Oh, which spot? Which spot you go to. 1972 01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:23,520 Geez. It's like a little cave kind. 1973 01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:24,240 Of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1974 01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:25,800 What is the small? Venue. 1975 01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:27,400 Comedy Cellar. Yes. 1976 01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:29,480 OK, yes, yes. Comedy Cellar. 1977 01:36:29,480 --> 01:36:30,880 Cellar. I've been once, I think. 1978 01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:33,600 Small, like maybe 50 people were there, kind of. 1979 01:36:33,840 --> 01:36:35,960 Yep, that's it. I think I saw Mark Norman there. 1980 01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:38,440 OK, OK, It was, it was really good. 1981 01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:40,920 And and I didn't even mean to do this. 1982 01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:43,280 Like, you know, I'm certainly there to let I forget who it 1983 01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:44,600 was. Somebody from the the Stern show 1984 01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:48,400 was there that night and I guess a long time ago. 1985 01:36:48,400 --> 01:36:50,760 So I probably 20-10 something like that. 1986 01:36:51,240 --> 01:36:54,480 And the guy, he starts ragging on me, right. 1987 01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:58,720 And I actually felt bad. So he's ragging and I'm there. 1988 01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:00,640 You could, you know, despite what some people think, I could 1989 01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:05,440 laugh at myself and I can take a joke and I'm and I'm laughing. 1990 01:37:05,440 --> 01:37:08,480 I'm but I'm waiting for the joke and and he's trying to Zing me 1991 01:37:08,480 --> 01:37:12,560 with some stuff and I'm sitting there and he's and he stumbled 1992 01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:17,120 and and I I forget what it was. He stumbled and it was like he 1993 01:37:17,120 --> 01:37:19,920 just couldn't get it out. And of course my loud booming 1994 01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:21,120 voice. I'm like, yeah, why don't you 1995 01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:23,120 hit rewind on that, bro? Give it another shot. 1996 01:37:23,200 --> 01:37:26,880 Oh man yeah, yeah, yeah. And I and again, I'm I'm one of 1997 01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:28,560 these guys. I can't stand people who try to 1998 01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:31,080 ruin the night for the comic. Like that's definitely not me. 1999 01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:32,240 I'm just there to have a good time. 2000 01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:34,800 But he started ragging on me. So if we get a rag on me, I'm 2001 01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:36,320 going to I'm going to volley back to you, bro. 2002 01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:38,880 It's not my fault that you stumbling all over your lips, 2003 01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:42,120 right. So when I said that, he kind of 2004 01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:47,040 froze and and and he looked at me and he goes, I got to be 2005 01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:50,680 honest, he goes, you got me. I'm never feeling so bad. 2006 01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:52,880 I'm like, I didn't hear to I didn't come here to get you 2007 01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:54,840 myself. I don't want to doubt. 2008 01:37:54,840 --> 01:37:57,360 I won't be that guy. I'm just here to have a drink or 2009 01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:00,920 two of my fiance go out, go to have a nice dinner before which 2010 01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:05,120 we did laugh a little bit, you know, but he just started trying 2011 01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:07,880 to with zingers here. Jay and I had a, I don't know, I 2012 01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:09,520 felt, I actually felt bad though. 2013 01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:12,000 Yeah, no, I mean, it's tough because it's like you'd want him 2014 01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:14,560 to just react in a way where he knows you're just joking with 2015 01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:17,680 him. And then it's like I was, I was, 2016 01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:20,680 I was totally game for keep hitting me with zings, man. 2017 01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:23,680 Keep, you know, But when you zigging me and then you stumble, 2018 01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:26,920 you know, now I think, I think that I've earned the latitude to 2019 01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:29,920 clap back a little bit. No, I mean, you go to more 2020 01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:32,000 comedy shows to me. Am I out of bounds with that? 2021 01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:34,040 No. I mean, I think, I think it's, I 2022 01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:36,000 think it's totally fine. It's funny. 2023 01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:38,520 Like, I'd say that, man. And there are like two or three 2024 01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:40,800 kinds of comedy shows. There's like the ones you go to 2025 01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:43,880 and it's like, you know, a pretty popular comedic act and 2026 01:38:43,880 --> 01:38:46,080 you go, OK, that. Well, that's a good show. 2027 01:38:46,280 --> 01:38:48,480 Then there's like another one. It's like the Shane Gillis, the 2028 01:38:48,480 --> 01:38:51,520 stadium. But then my favorite is just the 2029 01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:56,520 open mic type, just random comedian, like the street who 2030 01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:59,480 are so awful. And it's like part of the humor 2031 01:38:59,480 --> 01:39:02,880 is kind of just watching these guys just kind of fall out. 2032 01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:04,400 Yeah, yeah. Exactly. 2033 01:39:04,480 --> 01:39:06,640 It's hard. It's cruel, but I couldn't 2034 01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:08,480 imagine something harder than stand up I. 2035 01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:09,920 Mean, I don't I you know what's funny? 2036 01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:12,280 I agree with you like you think about one of the things that 2037 01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:15,280 that I do is motivational speaking right to me, it's a lot 2038 01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:17,720 easier to get. I mean it's it's also part of my 2039 01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:19,480 natural skill set. I think I'm I'm more 2040 01:39:19,480 --> 01:39:22,400 motivational than drop drop like laugh out loud funny. 2041 01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:25,440 I think that funny moments come when I'm getting worked up or 2042 01:39:25,440 --> 01:39:26,800 whatever. I'm not saying that I don't have 2043 01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:30,080 any humor, but I'm not I'm not. I was never the kid walking 2044 01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:32,400 around cutting jokes, you know, like I just whatever. 2045 01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:37,000 And and to me, like I, I would much rather certainly deliver 2046 01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:39,920 like a strong opinion and then kind of goof off or go into a 2047 01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:44,320 room and talk to executives at Verizon or cross country 2048 01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:46,120 mortgage like motivational aspect. 2049 01:39:46,480 --> 01:39:49,280 So but so, but some people actually find that hard, OK, 2050 01:39:49,480 --> 01:39:53,280 which I get, and some people find comedy easy, which I don't. 2051 01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:57,880 I I'm getting on a stage and being that vulnerable is now 2052 01:39:57,880 --> 01:39:59,760 you're doing it on your own volition. 2053 01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:01,560 It's not like anybody forcing you to go do it. 2054 01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:05,040 So if you're not good at it and you have a shitty set and you 2055 01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:06,440 get booed, that that's your problem. 2056 01:40:06,440 --> 01:40:09,600 But ain't my problem. But that is not easy to I cannot 2057 01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:12,640 imagine that that is easy to do at all. 2058 01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:15,120 That's got to be. And then between, you know, 2059 01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:17,680 usually those lights are pounding down on you. 2060 01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:20,360 So I'd probably start to sweat. And then if I didn't get a 2061 01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:22,640 couple of laps early on, I'd start sweating more. 2062 01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:25,520 Oh, Get Me Out of here. Just start throwing tomatoes at. 2063 01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:26,880 Me, yeah. It's funny because I guess it's 2064 01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:29,960 just like your sense of humor is almost like one of the most 2065 01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:34,600 vulnerable things a person has. Like what you find funny is so 2066 01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:37,760 unique to yourself and so different than other people that 2067 01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:40,200 like, you know when you think something's funny but someone 2068 01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:42,080 doesn't, it's almost one of the most like. 2069 01:40:42,480 --> 01:40:45,240 It brings you like. Yeah, like it the air out of the 2070 01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:47,280 moment more than anything. Yeah, it does. 2071 01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:48,440 It does. I agree with that. 2072 01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:52,480 Let me get this real quick. At PG17 under score 89, Mendoza 2073 01:40:52,480 --> 01:40:54,080 should have been fired last season. 2074 01:40:54,440 --> 01:40:58,800 You know, we talked about it and some of you did call us up and 2075 01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:00,840 say, you know, I don't know what percentage it was. 2076 01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:04,320 It wasn't a massive percentage. If I had to estimate, probably 2077 01:41:04,320 --> 01:41:07,200 about 20% of you, maybe 25. We're like, yeah, I don't know 2078 01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:09,760 about me now. I thought Mendoza had a really, 2079 01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:13,960 really bad year and I documented that like on the year during the 2080 01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:17,280 year on the Fan I brought up multiple, multiple times. 2081 01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:18,480 I'm like, you can't mess that up. 2082 01:41:18,480 --> 01:41:21,400 You got to pinch run this dude. You got to you got to hit the 2083 01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:24,480 proper bullpen level. There were many situations, 2084 01:41:24,480 --> 01:41:28,640 defensive replacements, like even guys not hustling early on, 2085 01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:32,160 like Vientos early on, like I'm like, this is not exactly what I 2086 01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:35,320 expected coming off the previous season, But because the previous 2087 01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:38,880 season was good and because I I do believe that Carlos Mendoza 2088 01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:41,360 is a good baseball man, I'm like, no, I'm not going to fire 2089 01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:45,520 him now, but go back on the channel and, you know, start the 2090 01:41:45,520 --> 01:41:49,040 year one one of the shows I did was I mean this guy, him and 2091 01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:51,600 Mike Brown had the the hottest seats in New York. 2092 01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:54,880 You know, they were and they do. And Mike Brown, this is where 2093 01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:58,080 he's going to earn some stripes or Mike Brown's not going to be 2094 01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:00,360 around. And if Mendoza doesn't get this 2095 01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:03,080 thing figured out, Mendoza's not going to be around very long. 2096 01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:05,400 And that's just the way it goes. It's big business. 2097 01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:08,320 This is not the little teeny tiny Mets who are trying to 2098 01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:12,560 scrap to be, you know, a 500 team and they're spending $117 2099 01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:15,880 million, nineteenth most in baseball, you know, and there's 2100 01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:22,680 13,000 people out of the Shea Stadium, you know, in in 1978 2101 01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:25,880 when they have a horrendous team or whatever might be, you know, 2102 01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:27,840 I mean, obviously you wouldn't have that payroll back in the 2103 01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:29,240 80s or 70s, you know what I mean? 2104 01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:35,600 Point is, is that this Mets team perceptually, financially has 2105 01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:39,240 taken a massive step forward and the owner multiple times has 2106 01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:43,080 called on you to go and support his product, which you've done 2107 01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:47,160 time and time again. Mets fans flocked to Citi Field 2108 01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:49,600 last year. When Cohen said I'm doing my 2109 01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:51,960 job, you got to do yours, all right. 2110 01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:57,080 He said that you did your job. The team didn't do their job. 83 2111 01:42:57,080 --> 01:43:02,280 wins, year one with Soto waste. Here we are, Year 2, you know, 2112 01:43:03,480 --> 01:43:08,440 with a massive payroll and massive expectations, and it's 2113 01:43:08,440 --> 01:43:12,800 as bleak a situation as there is in sports right now, actually, 2114 01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:14,880 you know, because the NBA season's over. 2115 01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:17,320 So all the playoff teams are the playoff teams. 2116 01:43:17,720 --> 01:43:22,040 Hockey is what it is, you know, and the NFL draft, there's just 2117 01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:24,960 positive energy. Even the bad teams, like it's 2118 01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:28,800 the Mets and the Mets have what, the second tied for the worst 2119 01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:31,600 record in baseball. Nobody cares about the Rockies. 2120 01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:33,600 They just don't. No, no, no disrespect. 2121 01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:37,960 Colorado in terms of a national talking point, all right, when 2122 01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:41,360 you had the big cat Andres Galvarraga and Bichette and you 2123 01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:44,440 know, some of those bees back in the day ripping home runs, all 2124 01:43:44,440 --> 01:43:47,640 right, that's one thing you know, but you don't have that 2125 01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:49,880 anymore. So, and you're in the division 2126 01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:53,680 with the Dodgers and the higher high profile Padres, but the 2127 01:43:53,680 --> 01:44:00,840 Mets, it is just a sad, bleak, miserable start to their season 2128 01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:03,400 and you know, the off days coming at a good time. 2129 01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:05,040 We'll see what happens there. Brutal. 2130 01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:06,800 But man, oh man, they got to get cooking all. 2131 01:44:07,280 --> 01:44:09,280 Right. We got one caller left if you're 2132 01:44:09,280 --> 01:44:11,040 down of. Course, I was just going to ask 2133 01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:11,960 you for. All right, let me. 2134 01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:14,960 Just make sure Andrew unmute, all right? 2135 01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:16,600 We're good. Good. 2136 01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:19,480 OK. How come working out those 2137 01:44:19,480 --> 01:44:21,120 kinks? We're going to laugh at that in 2138 01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:22,840 a year or so. Andrew. 2139 01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:24,240 Where? Oh, Upper East Side. 2140 01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:25,920 Andrew, what's going on? Dude, How are you? 2141 01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:27,960 BT how we doing?

What's up, Andrew? 2144 01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:34,000 You and I have crossed paths before. 2145 01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:36,000 It's St. John's games we've I cover and 2146 01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:39,200 you obviously do radio and then I also cover them and I write. 2147 01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:41,680 So I appreciate you being a being there. 2148 01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:42,640 Nice. Dude, no. 2149 01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:43,320 OK. Not what? 2150 01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:45,160 What outlet of what? Just so I can make. 2151 01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:47,160 The Yeah, so so I write for the center hub. 2152 01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:50,240 It's a basketball website and we cover Yep, Yep, a lot of stuff. 2153 01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:51,480 And we're also gonna do the draft. 2154 01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:53,360 Nice, I, I know the website good. 2155 01:44:53,360 --> 01:44:56,040 You know, I, I, I, I actually think I know who I'm talking to. 2156 01:44:56,200 --> 01:44:59,120 I got. You OK And we've also interacted 2157 01:44:59,120 --> 01:45:01,400 in the MSG elevator, which is the worst elevator ever, but 2158 01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:03,040 that's. I definitely remember I that 2159 01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:04,840 toward the end of the year, right, yes. 2160 01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:06,880 I remember that and I said the only thing worse than the 2161 01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:09,840 elevator is The Jets, I said. That yeah, I got you. 2162 01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:11,840 I remember that. I'm not just saying that because 2163 01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:14,320 I remember that. That that elevator drives me 2164 01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:16,080 nuts. I wind up taking the escalator 2165 01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:17,840 down, but they shut the escalator. 2166 01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:19,680 It's a pain of the ass getting out of the door. 2167 01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:22,920 It really is awful. It's awful. 2168 01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:26,720 So I don't know if you heard, but Val Ackerman's retiring at 2169 01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:29,200 the end of August. The biggies just broke a memo. 2170 01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:31,720 I did not see that. Well, yeah, just broke a memo 2171 01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:34,480 that Val Ackerman is retiring. They need a new commissioner and 2172 01:45:34,480 --> 01:45:36,640 I I like Val. I think she's a smart woman. 2173 01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:39,680 I think she's a strong woman. I do not believe she's been a 2174 01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:41,200 good commissioner for the conference at all. 2175 01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:42,440 I just don't. I agree. 2176 01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:44,840 No I totally agree. I I think they need someone more 2177 01:45:44,840 --> 01:45:47,280 forward thinking and more revenue. 2178 01:45:47,280 --> 01:45:51,960 TV nil base cause the the sport's gonna sports gone crazy. 2179 01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:54,160 Oh my God, it's insane dude. It's too much. 2180 01:45:54,440 --> 01:45:58,720 My question was about the draft. So obviously both New York teams 2181 01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:00,520 have two picks in the first round. 2182 01:46:00,920 --> 01:46:03,760 Which team needs to hit on the draft more? 2183 01:46:04,440 --> 01:46:08,200 The Giants, because they have, I don't want to say a win now 2184 01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:11,160 situation, but they have a coach that feels win now with Hardball 2185 01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:16,040 or The Jets, because every time it feels like they have a high 2186 01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:18,760 draft pick, it doesn't really pan out sometimes for them and 2187 01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:21,720 they can't afford that. And Muji, this is kind of his 2188 01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:23,760 first real big pick. I guess we can call. 2189 01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:25,240 It Well, well, hold on. Why do you say that? 2190 01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:27,240 I mean, you, you just drafted a great right tackle. 2191 01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:29,560 That was a pretty big pick. Yeah. 2192 01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:30,480 Yeah, I don't. Yeah. 2193 01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:31,880 I'll give you that one. Sure, that's fair. 2194 01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:34,840 Phenomenal. No, he's very good, very good. 2195 01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:38,160 So my question is, who's the draft more important for The 2196 01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:43,520 Jets or the Giants? I. 2197 01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:47,640 I I would go with the Giants only because they have two top 2198 01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:50,120 10 picks. The Jets only have one now. 2199 01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:54,640 Not to say The Jets can't get into the top 10 again, but you 2200 01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:56,000 have a win now coach in Harbaugh. 2201 01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:58,640 They already have the quarterback with Dart, who I 2202 01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:00,320 think a lot of people believe is the future. 2203 01:47:00,400 --> 01:47:02,080 I love them. Barring injury. 2204 01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:05,640 I love them. I love the Lawrence move. 2205 01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:07,480 That was a phenomenal move by the Giants. 2206 01:47:09,720 --> 01:47:12,000 I have some concerns on the defensive side for sure with the 2207 01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:13,560 Giants, no question. It's going to be yes. 2208 01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:15,520 And the old line always needs help. 2209 01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:17,400 It's needed help for 20 years feels like. 2210 01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:21,400 But I feel like the Giants are more in a win now situation than 2211 01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:23,200 The Jets and I think they need more. 2212 01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:26,120 They're like a game breaker or two away. 2213 01:47:26,240 --> 01:47:28,640 I honestly think they could finish second in their division. 2214 01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:30,600 That might sound absolutely insane. 2215 01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:33,080 I don't think it sounds insane, Commanders. 2216 01:47:33,120 --> 01:47:35,280 And listen, obviously Daniels banged up doesn't help. 2217 01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:38,040 What what where is Dallas going? Dallas is a mess. 2218 01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:41,600 Dallas is it's the Eagles. And then you flip a coin. 2219 01:47:41,600 --> 01:47:44,880 Dallas never wins anything. The Commanders kind of like the 2220 01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:46,360 Mets, really. You think about like the talk 2221 01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:48,960 about the Mets two years ago, like the commanders, great run, 2222 01:47:49,240 --> 01:47:51,520 you know, all that stuff. And then boom, they fall flat on 2223 01:47:51,520 --> 01:47:53,600 their face for a lot of football reasons. 2224 01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:56,320 Now they've got to prove that they are more of the team from 2225 01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:58,960 two years ago than last year, and we'll see if they do. 2226 01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:01,800 But I don't think that that's a crazy assertion that the Giants 2227 01:48:01,800 --> 01:48:04,480 finishes the second best team in the NFC East. 2228 01:48:04,480 --> 01:48:07,880 I I think that there's some some validity to that you, you got to 2229 01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:10,120 pop on these picks, but I don't think it's crazy to think that 2230 01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:12,080 no. Right. 2231 01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:14,360 I, I would say the Giants, I just think it's more important 2232 01:48:14,360 --> 01:48:16,320 for them because I think there's more of an opportunity for them 2233 01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:18,320 to get in. I know the NF CS tough like who 2234 01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:20,120 who? Who do you want it? 2235 01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:21,760 Who do you want at 5 and who do you want at 10? 2236 01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:25,440 Well, I think, I think Jeremiah Love's going to be gone. 2237 01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:27,040 The Giants. I agree. 2238 01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:30,920 So I think it's a defensive player at 5, whether it's Spikes 2239 01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:35,840 or Dyson. And then ten I I think 10 almost 2240 01:48:35,840 --> 01:48:37,680 kind of, I don't want to say it's a luxury pick because I 2241 01:48:37,680 --> 01:48:40,520 don't want it to sound like that, but I think you need a 2242 01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:42,400 high impact guy when you're picking that high. 2243 01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:46,080 That's bottom line. So either O line like the big 2244 01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:47,960 guy from Miami could make some sense. 2245 01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:50,000 I was talking about him before. Yep, Yep. 2246 01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:53,000 Yeah, I think O line because I usually when you have two, I 2247 01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,040 mean this is my own opinion. When you have two picks that 2248 01:48:55,040 --> 01:48:57,200 high, I kind of like you want to go on both sides of the ball 2249 01:48:57,200 --> 01:48:57,800 there. Yeah. 2250 01:48:57,800 --> 01:49:00,240 And by the way, you're talking about Francis Moinowa, right? 2251 01:49:00,360 --> 01:49:01,680 Yes, correct. Got you. 2252 01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:04,280 Yeah. So, so I would say if you're 2253 01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:06,760 going defensive 5, I'd go offense at 10. 2254 01:49:07,040 --> 01:49:09,640 And then vice versa if you go offensive 5 if Love does fall 2255 01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:12,080 there and let's say they take them, then you go defensive. 2256 01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:13,880 Defensive 10. All right, listen, Andrew, good 2257 01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:15,560 call. Very well thought out. 2258 01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:17,680 I'm with you. I appreciate you reaching. 2259 01:49:17,680 --> 01:49:19,400 No, you got it, man. I'll see at the garden soon and 2260 01:49:19,400 --> 01:49:21,880 hopefully following the show and keep following us here. 2261 01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:26,160 Thank you. OK, so who's it more important 2262 01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:27,800 to? It's almost impossible to 2263 01:49:27,800 --> 01:49:32,760 answer. I mean, OK, so let's to me, I've 2264 01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:34,840 talked about this before. I'm going to use the word 2265 01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:39,440 pressure, right? So Seton Hall Pirates. 2266 01:49:39,440 --> 01:49:41,240 Well, did I miss something with the Pirates? 2267 01:49:41,240 --> 01:49:43,520 It's about Seton Hall Prep baseball, I think it's about. 2268 01:49:43,800 --> 01:49:47,680 Sacred Heart University when I see Oh, no, probably Seton Hall. 2269 01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:51,000 No, Probably Seton Hall. Sacred Heart, they are red and 2270 01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:52,200 red and white. Yeah. 2271 01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:53,760 And they're definitely not the pirates. 2272 01:49:53,760 --> 01:49:55,120 They are. What's their nickname? 2273 01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:57,560 I'm forgetting right now, but they're red and white. 2274 01:49:57,560 --> 01:49:58,560 They're red and white. So let's go. 2275 01:49:58,560 --> 01:49:59,720 Did I miss something with Seton Hall? 2276 01:49:59,720 --> 01:50:01,280 Anyway, thank you for that. Appreciate it, man. 2277 01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:04,400 I when when we look at pressure, think about the question I was 2278 01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:06,440 just asked there, Right? You know who's got to have a 2279 01:50:06,440 --> 01:50:09,280 better draft? Like to me, we really misuse the 2280 01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:13,040 word pressure quite a bit because if there's no fallout 2281 01:50:13,600 --> 01:50:18,160 from the wrong move or a result that is counter to what you 2282 01:50:18,160 --> 01:50:22,000 want, is there really pressure? Like who's got pressure right 2283 01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:24,520 now? The pressure right now is on 2284 01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:27,800 Carlos Mendoza. Like Carlos Mendoza better start 2285 01:50:27,800 --> 01:50:30,960 winning some games or Carlos Mendoza is going to get fired. 2286 01:50:31,040 --> 01:50:35,160 Like that is real, palpable, tangible stuff. 2287 01:50:35,360 --> 01:50:37,320 So now let's take the question that I was just asked and 2288 01:50:37,320 --> 01:50:43,840 applied to football, right? So if if Muji and you don't 2289 01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:46,880 necessarily always know right away if you whiff on, you know, 2290 01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:50,400 if you whiff on, oh, look at you right, Boy, oh boy, look at 2291 01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:52,000 this. Oh now, come on now. 2292 01:50:52,600 --> 01:51:00,920 Click by click, brick by brick. If you whiff on say, 2 and 16 or 2293 01:51:00,920 --> 01:51:02,560 you make a trade and you whiff on one of them. 2294 01:51:02,560 --> 01:51:04,640 But it's a bad whiff. Like, Mooji is still going to be 2295 01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:07,240 back because there's evidence to last year that he at least has a 2296 01:51:07,240 --> 01:51:09,640 semblance of. And I think it's more than this. 2297 01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:12,320 But for his detractors, if he were to whip this year, 2298 01:51:12,600 --> 01:51:15,000 Moochie's not getting fired. The head coach will. 2299 01:51:15,440 --> 01:51:18,160 So. But this is specific to the 2300 01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:20,800 draft. So where's there more pressure? 2301 01:51:21,160 --> 01:51:25,280 I would probably say, don't you think you have to save the 2302 01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:27,440 Giants? But not for the reason that our 2303 01:51:27,440 --> 01:51:31,040 last caller outline. Yeah, I don't really know what I 2304 01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:34,320 don't My my guess is not much, but like what kind of juice does 2305 01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:37,280 Joe Shane have right now going into the draft here? 2306 01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:40,160 I don't know. I mean, is, is Joe Shane the one 2307 01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:43,920 that built this, this this draft portfolio, like this draft trade 2308 01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:47,960 100% how involved was horrible? How involved were was other 2309 01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:49,280 people? I don't, I don't know the answer 2310 01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:52,400 to that. But like, say if the Giants with 2311 01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:55,920 at 5:00 and 10:00 or if there's an issue like Harbaugh wants one 2312 01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:58,480 guy, whatever. I I think the pressure is on 2313 01:51:58,480 --> 01:52:02,840 Shane, like Harbaugh could go. You know, listen, the Giants 2314 01:52:02,840 --> 01:52:06,640 can't stop the run because they traded Dexter Lawrence with the 2315 01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:09,800 10th overall pick, right? Which was a sheer brilliant 2316 01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:11,880 move. But say, if they don't replace 2317 01:52:11,880 --> 01:52:14,000 it with an interior alignment, which I don't think they will. 2318 01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:18,240 And the Giants defense thinks this year, but the player that 2319 01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:20,280 they draft, whether it's a receiver or whatever might be 2320 01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:24,680 old lineman is a stud. Giant fans won't, not that they 2321 01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:27,800 want to sit there for a six and 11 season, but there may be no 2322 01:52:27,800 --> 01:52:30,880 pressure on Harbaugh. Like this Giants team has been 2323 01:52:30,880 --> 01:52:33,640 trash outside of one year for a decade. 2324 01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:37,880 Terrible. So I would think Giant fans who 2325 01:52:37,880 --> 01:52:42,760 are obviously tired of watching this, but very sensible and 2326 01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:46,240 astute football fans, they know that John Horabaugh's got the 2327 01:52:46,240 --> 01:52:48,600 power and the John's going to be here for a long time. 2328 01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:52,000 The pressures on the GM, just like for The Jets, I think it's 2329 01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:53,840 the opposite. I think the pressure is really 2330 01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:56,200 not that Muji has no pressure. I'm not saying that not getting 2331 01:52:56,200 --> 01:52:59,880 a free pass, but Glenn's got to win, otherwise he's gone. 2332 01:53:00,560 --> 01:53:03,240 Like if the Yankees lose three straight after smacking around 2333 01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:06,880 the Royals is, you know, you can say, you know, get rid of Boone. 2334 01:53:06,880 --> 01:53:08,320 Like we've heard, you know, we've heard that a lot. 2335 01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:11,240 But that that that's not real. It's not going to happen. 2336 01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:14,560 But if the Mets lose 3 more, is Mendoza still coach of the Mets 2337 01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:16,480 by the end of the week? Like if they lose 3 more 2338 01:53:16,480 --> 01:53:19,040 straight, if they get swept by the Twins, is he still the 2339 01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:20,760 manager? Probably not. 2340 01:53:21,280 --> 01:53:22,960 That's pressure. That's all I'm saying. 2341 01:53:22,960 --> 01:53:28,560 All right there, Mr. J Rod, I think this is these calls are 2342 01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:29,640 great, man. I'm loving. 2343 01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:31,600 It dude, I'm just. I'm loving it bro. 2344 01:53:32,440 --> 01:53:34,120 Yeah, no, I mean, nothing else to be said. 2345 01:53:34,120 --> 01:53:36,920 It's so great hearing everyone. It's so great interacting. 2346 01:53:36,920 --> 01:53:41,920 I mean it just, it makes the show so like just so dynamic. 2347 01:53:41,920 --> 01:53:43,800 Dude, doesn't it? Literally feels like there's 2348 01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:46,040 like a cauldron of content that we've got. 2349 01:53:46,040 --> 01:53:48,120 We got to try to keep a fucking lid on it. 2350 01:53:48,120 --> 01:53:50,760 Like like there's just so much bubbling. 2351 01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:53,640 Like literally like you think about it, we just hit all those 2352 01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:56,360 calls, you hit all your points you were going to, and we've got 2353 01:53:56,360 --> 01:53:59,160 over like 200 chats that we could get to if we want. 2354 01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:00,680 I know, I know. It's ridiculous. 2355 01:54:00,680 --> 01:54:03,040 It's ridiculous. This is, this is part of the 2356 01:54:03,080 --> 01:54:06,840 part of the early vision man. So we're nowhere near it, but 2357 01:54:06,840 --> 01:54:09,040 we're getting there. You know the adage click by 2358 01:54:09,040 --> 01:54:10,600 click, brick by brick.

I don't, I don't know how else 2408 01:56:31,040 --> 01:56:33,240 to say it, man. Like you think about ranting and 2409 01:56:33,240 --> 01:56:36,480 raving about Mendoza and what Jets and Giants rant and then 2410 01:56:36,480 --> 01:56:40,480 you watch that it's like it it, I think it reinforces that, you 2411 01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:43,240 know, there's a lot to be grateful for and thankful for, 2412 01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:45,520 that's for sure. I mean, it's just it's, it's 2413 01:56:45,520 --> 01:56:51,600 it's a horrific story, but it's a story of the limitless nature 2414 01:56:52,280 --> 01:56:57,040 of the human condition. I mean, Mitch is 33 years old 2415 01:56:58,240 --> 01:57:01,160 studied broadcasting, he's got amazing pipes. 2416 01:57:01,160 --> 01:57:04,720 He calls the game. He's phenomenal and his sister 2417 01:57:04,720 --> 01:57:08,320 beautiful Hannah just a gorgeous, gorgeous young lady 2418 01:57:09,320 --> 01:57:15,320 was T boned if in an accident and her side and then she went 2419 01:57:15,320 --> 01:57:19,600 into another part of the highway or I just it just brain, I mean 2420 01:57:19,800 --> 01:57:24,600 brain damage to the point where they the doctor basically said 2421 01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:30,880 do you really want to do this?
