1 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,280 They don't have it. They just don't have it. 2 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,880 And and let's face it, guys, our fears, or at least my fears have 3 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,440 been confirmed. Knicks will win nothing this 4 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,840 year. And I don't want to hear. 5 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,880 And I I'm sure you're already getting ready to text this like, 6 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,640 oh, remember what happened last year against the Celtics? 7 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,080 It's a different matchup. It's a different energy. 8 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,240 It is different than last night was disgraceful what the Knicks 9 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,800 pulled. I mean, and by the way, I'm not 10 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,880 doing the whole show on the Knicks because they don't 11 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,000 deserve it. I got a little something for you 12 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,520 on Jazz. I got a little something for you 13 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,240 about a potential A.J. Brown trade and not just 14 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,720 pertaining to the locals, but it's all the football as well. 15 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,360 So hopefully everybody's having a Good Friday. 16 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,200 It is a no rules Friday, which I mean, there's really never any 17 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,440 rules. If you listen to the show. 18 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,360 We do what we want, but it's really no rules today. 19 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,400 Honestly, just a gutless performance by the Knicks. 20 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,720 Atrocious. Soft, unacceptable. 21 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,720 Does anybody know what the Knicks identity is? 22 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,160 You know, raise your hand if you know. 23 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,520 And you know, back in the room a little. 24 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,840 Joey, what is the Knicks identity? 25 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,120 I don't know, Mr. Tierney. I'm not sure. 26 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,960 Mike, what is the what is the Knicks identity? 27 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,080 I don't know. I'm not really sure. 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,920 Mr. Tierney. How about little Susie back 29 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,000 there? You have a sense of what the 30 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,640 Knicks identity might be? I don't know, Mr. Tierney. 31 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,920 I don't know either. Well, I I here's what I do know. 32 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,680 They don't have one. That's what I know. 33 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,800 All right. Last night was, I was so excited 34 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,920 for this game. You know it. 35 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,000 I mean, I did basically the entire show on last night's game 36 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,400 because I thought it was that important. 37 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,520 And there's just only a couple of games in the regular season 38 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,160 that you got to get revved up for and at from a fan's 39 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,760 perspective and from a team's perspective, you got to send a 40 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,199 little message. All right, The Knicks had played 41 00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,680 the Pistons twice in Detroit. They lost by 38. 42 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,040 They lost by 31. Their head coach the day before, 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,320 which I appreciate it. Mike Brown saying he he like he 44 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,280 embraced the gravity of the moment. 45 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,160 Like he said, hey, this this does mean a little bit more than 46 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,760 some other games. We do need to show that we can 47 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,800 punch back a bit. The Knicks were well rested. 48 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,600 And don't tell me the Knicks were rusty because the Pistons 49 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,440 had the same amount of time off as well. 50 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:36,760 Now I, you know, I mean, they can't shoot worse. 51 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,160 So I understand that the Knicks will, let's say they play the 52 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,920 Pistons in the conference finals or Round 2, whatever it might 53 00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,240 be. I know the Knicks will have 54 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,160 games where they absolutely shoot the basketball better, but 55 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,840 I there's just there's something off with this team. 56 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,520 Outside of a couple of spurts this year, they really haven't 57 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,280 looked looked incredibly connected. 58 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,080 And I want to get to this right away, Jay Rod, get this up on 59 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,680 the screen. Listen to what Karl Anthony 60 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,320 Towns said after the game. Going to read this for you. 61 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,040 Look at that graphic. My God, look at how fancy that 62 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,360 is. My God, who came up with that? 63 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,360 Jay Rod production money. Listen, now this seems all 64 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,880 right, fairly benign, but it's not and I'm going to read it. 65 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,280 I'm going to tell you why this is a big problem. 66 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,200 All right, quote, our offense is our offense and it's been the 67 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,840 whole year. We have our system and 68 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,760 regardless of who's in the game or not, we're going to run the 69 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,440 system that we have. It's Carl Anthony Towns that's 70 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,880 telling you that one of the store players has no respect for 71 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,480 the head coach. That's what loosely translated, 72 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,360 that's what that means. Because Karl Anthony Towns looks 73 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,800 like he'd be, he'd rather be anywhere else. 74 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,440 But in the middle of, you know, this, this, this energy and the 75 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,520 pressure and the expectations that the Knicks provide. 76 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,880 I'm so tired of watching. He hits a foul shot. 77 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,800 He does that little stupid thing with his hands like he should. 78 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,040 I, I'm done. I am. 79 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,440 I am beyond done with Karl Anthony Towns and I'm going to 80 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,200 listen. This is what I've said for years 81 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,000 now and I'm going to say it again because it's more and more 82 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,320 apparent that it's not going to change. 83 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:23,760 He is slow, he is sloppy and he is soft and that will not 84 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,960 change. He will not come back a 85 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,800 different person. He will not come back with a 86 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,280 better motor. He will not come back more 87 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:35,120 assertive like this guy. And he's not the only one that's 88 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,680 culpable here. I want to be fair. 89 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,960 I mean, there's a lot of things and a lot of problems with this 90 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,240 team. And just a quick little snapshot 91 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,000 before we focus more on Towns, right? 92 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,880 Because there is more to when you say what he said after the 93 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,600 game, that's a bigger, that's more of a macro issue. 94 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,200 And that's incredibly problematic for the Knicks 95 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,400 moving forward. But Jalen Brunson, we all love 96 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,200 Jalen, right? To ISO Dom, he's to ISO 97 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,160 oriented. You don't win that way #1 #2 the 98 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,320 wings, who everybody says when they're the knit, you know, 3 99 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,840 and D guys, you got OG, you got bridges. 100 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,040 Phenomenal defenders, phenomenal defenders my ass. 101 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,560 There's a stat. I know we just coming back with 102 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,080 the foot injury, but there was a stat after game, next generation 103 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,440 stats, right where when OG was guarding Kate Cunningham, who by 104 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,200 the way, is going to prevent the Knicks from winning a 105 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,240 championship for the next 10 years. 106 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,080 Like he's the next Jordan. I'm not saying he's going to be 107 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,040 as good as Jordan. He's the next thorn in the side 108 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,600 like Jordan was for the Knicks. He's only going to get better 109 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,200 and better and better. And the Knicks aren't beating 110 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,520 him because he was by far the best player on the court. 111 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,960 And he's just better than Jaylen Brunson. 112 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,800 Call for what it is. You know, we can have a 113 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,640 conversation. Is Jaylen a superstar? 114 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,480 Is Jaylen just a star? Is he somewhere in between? 115 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,920 And I love him. I you know I like this is not to 116 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,240 just airing air out grievances and become irresponsible. 117 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,800 I love what Jalen Brunson represents, but his limitations 118 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,880 are a problem and that that 6 foot 5 beast who is getting 119 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,480 better and more confident game by game, year by year is going 120 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,720 to be in the next way to get to the NBA Finals forever. 121 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,920 So this team's not winning anything. 122 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,840 Next year's team's not winning anything. 123 00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:23,800 I hate to be so negative, but they got problems everywhere you 124 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,440 look. And the stat on OG right, 125 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,520 guarding Kate Cunningham last night, Kate Cunningham shot 126 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,520 almost 60% on shots attempted where he was exclusively guarded 127 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,360 by OG Anobi, right? So, I mean, I, I don't really 128 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,840 know what to tell you. I mean, why in the world should 129 00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:43,560 I get all worked up? And I am a little bit worked up, 130 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,800 but like, I'm not going to, I'm going to do some other stuff 131 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,280 today. Like, because why? 132 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,680 Why should I be the one seemingly to care more about the 133 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,040 Knicks than the Knicks care about themselves? 134 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,040 What, Like, why would I do that? That's the height of idiocy to 135 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:03,040 sit in a in a studio, granted, with the reflection still 136 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,080 banging off the walls and the lights. 137 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,680 I know, I know. We'll get it fixed, right? 138 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,640 Why should I care more about the Knicks plight than the Knicks 139 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,280 now? I don't want to hear while he 140 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,680 babysat him when he was your. Hey Mike Brown, once again you 141 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,680 got your freaking face kicked in by the Detroit Pistons. 142 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,840 What does Mike Brown do after the game? 143 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,040 Yeah, good job man. Laughing, hugging. 144 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,000 I understand that you guys have a, a relationship, which I, I 145 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,440 love this, this is, this is the real human stuff of life. 146 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,600 But push that into the tunnel, just like you didn't do with 147 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,640 Draymond Green. I don't think there's a single 148 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:46,280 Nick fan alive that wants to see Mike Brown yucking it up And and 149 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,640 did you see how fast the MSG cameras cut away from that? 150 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,120 I want to see his reaction and he goes to shake Pickerstaff's 151 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,600 hand. Who who's a great coach, but 152 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,560 well, really good. He got to win a little bit, 153 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,840 maybe greats a bit a bit much, but a really, really, really 154 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,280 good coach and they don't mess around. 155 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,080 I mean, hey, he's got that team locked in laser focused tough. 156 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,560 I mean, connected this Pistons team in a lot of ways, this 157 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,800 Pistons teams feels like more like the old 90s next team then 158 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,280 then this team does because they play with that kind of edge and 159 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,840 that and they didn't have two of their best players last night. 160 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,440 They were like the whole front court was in shambles. 161 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,280 And you got Karl Anthony Towns prancing around the perimeter, 162 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,640 flicking up breeze, hitting the foul shot, doing whatever that 163 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,640 stupid thing that he does with his wow, You hit a foul shot 164 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,200 that when you are 15 feet away from the basket and you're 165 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,840 basically 7 feet and your hand is the size of a tie. 166 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,040 It's like me going into the playroom on this floor in our 167 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,760 home and be shooting Nerf hoops with my son. 168 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,320 A big damn deal. You hit a free throw. 169 00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:58,880 I just I can't take it anymore. And and I really thought that 170 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,760 that visual last night was a rough one, man. 171 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:08,480 Do you think that I don't care if Pat Riley's son was on the 172 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,880 other team? Pat Riley would have given him a 173 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,600 stern handshake, a nod, hit him on the shoulder, keep it moving, 174 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,080 go into the tunnel and absolutely once he gets into 175 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,520 locker room, eviscerate his team for playing that soft and that 176 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,520 week from jump from jump, right. So that's Pat Riley. 177 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:31,760 Same with Jeff Van Gundy and to be fair, same with Tom Pibineau. 178 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,120 But this guy, you know, I you know, I should wait. 179 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:41,920 I will, I will say when Sal said Mike clown early on, I was like, 180 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,720 wow.

And and I thought, you know, and 183 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,560 I, I know, I know how Sal is. So I, yeah, I know what he 184 00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:54,840 meant. But I'm like, dude, that's 185 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,680 that's an early, early label. Come on, get the guy a week or 186 00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:00,480 so to figure things out, see what he's got. 187 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,960 Sal may have been right, because only a clown is that accepting 188 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,960 of an ass kicking of that magnitude again by the same 189 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,160 basketball team. So you lose by almost 40, you 190 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,080 lose by 31. You have a couple of days to 191 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,760 regenerate, get your act together. 192 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,480 The head coach the day before says, Yep, this game means 193 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,000 something. You're at home. 194 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,120 Everybody's talking about this. It's a national. 195 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,440 I watch the the local feed, as I said, but it's a national game. 196 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,520 You got Blake Griffin and the Amazon crew talking about this 197 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,960 and that's what you come out and do and I'm supposed to take you 198 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,600 seriously? I'm not taking can you 199 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,280 seriously. Knicks are going nowhere. 200 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,200 Season's over. It's done and it's a wrap. 201 00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:45,640 They are soft, they are weak. They are mentally weak. 202 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,920 Their coach is mentally weak. Their second star player is soft 203 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,680 as tissue paper. And it's a wrap for the Knicks. 204 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,000 Now. Now listen, the way that I am, 205 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,760 that doesn't mean that I'm not going to watch the next game and 206 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,400 then follow the store. I do. 207 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:07,120 I I will, I, I will never abandoned the Knicks and part of 208 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,440 my love for the Knicks and part of my expectation for this crew 209 00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:15,720 and hope for this crew. Well, it's coming out now just 210 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,560 like it came in or came out yesterday in an in an, in an 211 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:20,880 anticipatory way, like, hey, this is a big game. 212 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:21,960 You got to show us something. Let's go. 213 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,080 What do you guys made out of here? 214 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,200 It's second-half of the season is a team that's in your way. 215 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,400 This is a team that you're six games behind in the Eastern 216 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,440 Conference. You got to do something, you 217 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,920 know, And by the way, even if the Knicks would have lost the 218 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,920 game and they came out and they were energetic and they were 219 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,480 protecting the rim and they were playing with force and playing 220 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,360 with integrity, and they lost by 3456 even 89 points, right? 221 00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:47,080 And they just shot as poorly as they shot. 222 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,200 I don't think that I would have this reaction. 223 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,320 Like, it's not just that they lost, it's how they lost again, 224 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,560 again. So, hey, if you are wired in a 225 00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:03,520 way that you are prepared to tell me, oh, it's in. 226 00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:05,720 It's the regular season. I'll get to these texts in a 227 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:06,680 SEC. Keep it up there, Jay. 228 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,760 It doesn't really mean that much. 229 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,000 Look what happened against Boston last year. 230 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,280 Detroit is different than Boston. 231 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,680 Boston's more finesse. All right? 232 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,720 You know, Tatum's a hell of a player. 233 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,360 Jaylen Brown help a player. They got guys that could shoot 234 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,760 their championship team. I've got great respect for the 235 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:24,760 Celtics. I always have. 236 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,320 Right? And Tatum might even make it 237 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,120 back this year. And even without them, they 238 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,640 still have a better record than the Knicks. 239 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,320 Like, that alone should tell you something. 240 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,840 But the way the Celtics are built, it's different. 241 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,640 It's different like, like that what they always say, right? 242 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,120 One of the old adages in sports is that speed never takes a day 243 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,280 off. So if you're a baseball player, 244 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,520 I'm just going to use baseball for a moment and I'm looking 245 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,880 forward to getting to the Jazz stuff, he said. 246 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,360 Some wild Jazz is a trip, man. I'm going to dissect what he 247 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,080 said about going 5050. So if you're a baseball player 248 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:02,000 and you go, oh, for four and you can't run and you're an average 249 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,720 to a slightly below average defender, right, well, you're 250 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160 really going to have no impact on the game 0. 251 00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:13,240 But if you go over 4 and you can run OK and you're a plus 252 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,680 defender, you could still bring something to the table when your 253 00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:22,240 skills are shut down by somebody 60 feet, 6 inches away who's 254 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,840 also very good at their job. Like the failure rate in 255 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,000 baseball obviously is much higher in basketball. 256 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,920 So it's not an apples to apples comparison. 257 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,320 But the point is I'm going to take speed in baseball and I'm 258 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,880 going to use toughness and, you know, like the the the proper 259 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,320 principles, like rooted in the the defensive principles and all 260 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,400 those other things that those old Knicks used to have, right? 261 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,840 And even under Tom Thibodeau did have as well. 262 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,600 When you have those and you don't shoot well, you still have 263 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,640 a chance to win because there's other ways to impose your will 264 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,320 on the game. When the Knicks don't shoot 265 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,520 well, when the Knicks aren't lights out from three, the 266 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,480 Knicks are a pushover. They're a bunch of softies. 267 00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:06,640 They're doing nothing. And it's high time that you know 268 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,520 this. Like, if you don't see it by 269 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,480 now, I don't know what to tell you. 270 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,240 And hey, that's your opinion. I respect it. 271 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,000 I think it's pretty clear what mine is. 272 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,080 Teams going nowhere. Last night was the final fork 273 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,000 for me. I'm still going to be rooting. 274 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,480 I expect nothing at this point. I'm not even expecting the 275 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,640 Eastern Conference finals appearance. 276 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,480 That's how down I am on the Knicks. 277 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,800 And I said a long time ago, I said, man, I love the Knicks. 278 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,160 I root for the Knicks. I don't trust the Knicks. 279 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,480 I don't trust this crew. Have I been proven wrong? 280 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,200 If anything, it's been strengthened. 281 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,080 They're getting worse, if you could believe that. 282 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,880 Yeah. Brown 100% leaving stuff in his 283 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,440 pocket against the Pistons. What? 284 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,240 All right, so the first text is an excuse. 285 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,480 So you think that he's that good? 286 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,120 All right, let me get this straight, Omar. 287 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,920 I know you text a lot. Love you, man, but I think 288 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,760 you're wildly off base here. So you're telling me that Mike 289 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,320 Brown is purposely not showing all of his cards so that when he 290 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,520 does play the Pistons, he'll have an advantage? 291 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,840 If you believe that, you're out of your mind because that's 292 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,520 giving Mike Brown way too much credit. 293 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,520 Now, again, I know he wasn't their first choice. 294 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,200 He wasn't my first choice. I did think it was time to move 295 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,440 on from Tom Thibodeau. I I did. 296 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,600 I thought Sal was nuts when he called him a clown. 297 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,560 Like, I've certainly believe he's better than that. 298 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,880 But to think that he's that next level. 299 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,400 No, no, no, no. Stop, dude. 300 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,520 Now you're fooling yourself. And now you just making stuff up 301 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,200 because that's not even remotely applicable. 302 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,760 Yeah. He doesn't want to show too much 303 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,240 that that's that's what it is. Come on. 304 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,760 Are you serious? It's not. 305 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,560 I'm not even talking about schematics. 306 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,000 I'm not even talking about substitution patterns. 307 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,360 I'm not talking about an allocation of rolls right now. 308 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,800 I'm talking about the dudes on the court getting punked again 309 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:04,080 and again accepting it, and then their head coach laughing and 310 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,960 smiling one second after the buzzer sounded and the booze 311 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,080 rightfully rained down on the Knicks. 312 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,040 This is a team that's going to click in. 313 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,720 Get lost. I don't mean I don't. 314 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,400 I don't mean you all more, but get lost like with that 315 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,800 philosophy not happening. The East is not as easy as it 316 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,440 looked a couple of weeks ago. Tatum's back. 317 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,840 I don't know why. Yeah, I don't know if he's going 318 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,520 to be back in a week. I don't know sure he's going to 319 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,600 be back. I know he's practicing with the 320 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,400 G League team. There's a thought he's 321 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,600 definitely not coming back in a week. 322 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,440 That's even close to be right. There's a thought he might make 323 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,240 it back to the playoffs there. Boston will not be easy. 324 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,400 I agree. Cavs look better with Harden. 325 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,600 I agree. Detroit and Indy get the Knicks 326 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,280 fits all right. And he's not a playoff team, but 327 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,800 I get it. Not easy at all. 328 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,080 True. True. 329 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,400 But you know what, if the Knicks were built differently or their 330 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,200 best players were a little bit better or wired differently, it 331 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,680 would be an easier Rd. Because you had 40 something 332 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,200 games where the Cavs didn't have Harden, they've had 40 whatever, 333 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,600 50 whatever than 50 games, something like that. 50 plus 334 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,520 games where the Celtics haven't had one of the six or seven best 335 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,160 players in the NBA and Jayson Tatum, you know what I mean? 336 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,160 So even before last next I went through the stand. 337 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,920 I said yesterday that I think that there is a better chance 338 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,000 that the Knicks of the four seed then they are the two seed. 339 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,280 Forget about the 1C. That's a wrap. 340 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,160 Now they're back seven. They were game, they were half a 341 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,359 game behind the Celtics going into last night's game. 342 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,040 Obviously the Knicks were third, Cavaliers were four and the Cavs 343 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,560 were game behind the Knicks. And the Cavs are coming and the 344 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,080 Knicks are bleeding out a little bit here and I don't see this. 345 00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:41,560 Listen, I know Sohan's going to get more of a role and he'll 346 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,960 he'll bring some energy. And I'm not going to bail on 347 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,520 Alvarado. I love the kid. 348 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,800 I'm not talking about those ancillary pieces. 349 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:54,240 The primary problem with the Knicks is that their superstar, 350 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,720 who we all love, we cherish Jalen Brunson. 351 00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:03,040 He is ISO ball dominant. His defensive prowess is a 0, so 352 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,040 every team goes right at him, which makes everybody else 353 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,680 vulnerable because you're always scurrying out of position or 354 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,600 scurrying to get in position and ultimately caught out of 355 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,600 position trying to make up for what Brunson doesn't bring to 356 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,480 the table defensively. And then when that happens, you 357 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:25,640 get the seven foot slug, Karl Anthony Towns, the snail trying 358 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,640 to retreat and move and he can't. 359 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,760 And I say snail because last night, I'll tell you, my son 360 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,360 can't stand Karl Anthony Towns. And it's it's not personal, but 361 00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:36,760 he's he just can't stand watching them. 362 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,560 And I know he hears daddy, you know, And then when he doesn't 363 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,600 rotate over, you know, weak side, whatever, when he doesn't 364 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,880 finish at the rim, when he double palms, when he you know, 365 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,800 when he skips up and down the court, like he just he just 366 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,960 doesn't. He doesn't project any like he's 367 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,600 just not a legitimate star. She's not and I know the numbers 368 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,280 are there and I go. I know back-to-back conference 369 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,000 finals appearance appearances. That's what everybody's hitting 370 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,360 me, hitting me up with last night. 371 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,080 Oh, why do you always beg on Cat? 372 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,040 You know he was in the finals last year. 373 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,400 Nick's want to beat the Pistons without him. 374 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,880 I agree with that. I'm giving credit. 375 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,800 Words do hit some big threes, no doubt. 376 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,920 The problem is it's not. It's not consistent enough. 377 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,520 See, to be a superstar, you've got to be physically and 378 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,960 emotionally reliable, meaning your game can't fluctuate, where 379 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,960 you take six shots one night and then he gets 20 the next. 380 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,720 You got to demand the ball. Does Carl Anthony Towns look 381 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,560 like he post his big ass up and says give me the like old school 382 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,880 once in a while? I know the days of Patrick and 383 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,680 Moses and Hakeem, you know, planting their ass into 384 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,240 somebody's, you know, stomach and give me the ball and the 385 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,440 point guard stocked in, you know, I know that that's over. 386 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,400 I get it. But there's still the way to be 387 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,520 demonstrative on the court and let your guys know. 388 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,520 Give me the fucking basketball. Give me the ball. 389 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,920 And he just doesn't do it and he's never going to do it. 390 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,440 So come on, guys, come on. I wish it was different. 391 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,920 And I could promise you there's going to be a point this year 392 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,160 where it's going to look different and the regeneration 393 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,000 will kick in. And those of you who and most of 394 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,360 you are down and rightfully so, you know where I stand. 395 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,680 Jesus, that's not clear. I want to tell you, but I think 396 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,360 many more of you are with me than not. 397 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,040 I'd say 80% ish 75 agree with me. 398 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,920 And I don't even need that. I'm just kind of reacting to the 399 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,440 to your reaction last night, so far today. 400 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,640 And I do think of that 70s percent that are with me right 401 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,720 now. What I think is going to happen 402 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,360 once they win three or four in a row, you know, Cat hits a couple 403 00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:49,040 threes, Brunson drops in a 40 spot, which he will. 404 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,880 Here come the Knicks, great until they play the Pistons. 405 00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:54,920 And then the Pistons will walk on the court. 406 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,080 They will look them in the eye and they will know that they own 407 00:20:58,120 --> 00:20:59,920 the New York Knicks. They own them. 408 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,280 The Pistons know it. And I think even more 409 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,920 frightening, the Knicks know it and the Knicks aren't even 410 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:12,360 trying to do anything about it. They are accepting of that 411 00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:14,480 ownership. So you tell me. 412 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,440 You tell me it's going to change. 413 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,080 Really. No, it's not. 414 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,640 Seen Dog Channel cat getting the Lindor treatment from BTI Mean, 415 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,840 listen, you know, it's oh man, it's it's a little different in 416 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,880 the sense that I've never once questioned Lindor's effort. 417 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,960 You know, I questioned I maybe hit from one side of the plate. 418 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,680 Certainly I've questioned his defense a little, certainly last 419 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,160 year, never before that. I've questioned his leadership, 420 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,600 which I stand by. So I I know what that's funny. 421 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,520 That's that's a good, a good text here, but it's not quite 422 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,040 the same. I'm not trying to equivocate the 423 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,400 two. I never look at Francisco Lindor 424 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:58,200 ever played baseball and say, man, you know, he, he, I need 425 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,080 more energy. Like, you know, no, I need a 426 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,400 better start in April. I'd like to be a little more 427 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,920 consistent so that that there's this up and down, you know, 428 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,360 April ice cold, May kind of cold. 429 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,360 June hit 330 player of the month. 430 00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:12,040 Like, can we get a little consistency though? 431 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,120 Cats different cats motor is different. 432 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,800 And I have learned a long time ago, this applies to young kids 433 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,520 that I coach. This applies to dudes I played 434 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,040 with back in the day. You either have a motor or you 435 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,080 don't. Period. 436 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,240 You get let go from a radio station, right? 437 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:34,560 And you say, let's go, I'm ready for the next challenge. 438 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,360 Or you sulk. I got screwed. 439 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,200 What do I do? Woe is me. 440 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,320 No, no, no. You're either a winner or you're 441 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,120 not, all right. And Cat is not the ultimate 442 00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:49,720 winner. And I don't care who hears this 443 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,880 and I don't care what you think. There's too much evidence to the 444 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,840 contrary. I would love to be wrong. 445 00:22:56,120 --> 00:22:58,880 I would love love. I would sign. 446 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,000 I would if I had a little pin while I had the thumbtacks in 447 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,840 here from when I was trying to fix the lighting old school, but 448 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,560 I had to put them away. If I had a tack in here and I 449 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,080 had the ability to just prick my finger and sign a contract in 450 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:17,520 blood right now that said that basically that would say BT you 451 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,280 were dead wrong. I would sign it happily. 452 00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:25,080 I would sign it with great pleasure. 453 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,400 I really would. It's not happening because even 454 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,560 if he shows up in round one against whomever, is it going to 455 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,240 be there the way it needs to be in Round 2? 456 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,320 Is it going to be there in the conference finals? 457 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,720 Is it going to be there in the NBA? 458 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,480 But the answer is no. And listen when you like. 459 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,080 There's a randomness in baseball and and I think that the Yankees 460 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,520 at times get unfairly criticized and you know, I've got issues 461 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,080 with the way Cashman builds the team and all that stuff, but 462 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,240 there is truly a randomness to baseball. 463 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,360 There's no randomness in the NBA. 464 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,280 You get A7 game series, you get basically 2 weeks, 10 days to 465 00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,520 prove that you're the better team. 466 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,600 That's it. You know, and you can have one 467 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,920 dud. Ewing had duds, even Jordan had 468 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,120 a couple of bad games. Every great player, Magic, 469 00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:10,680 Kareem Byrd, McHale, Isaiah, anybody from Matty, Carl Malone, 470 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,720 Stockton, Gary Bayton, and you can have a bad game. 471 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,240 You can't have you could have a bad moment for sure. 472 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,920 You can't have a bad week. You can't have multiple games in 473 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,160 succession where you're just not doing your job because the 474 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,840 Knicks are way too dependent. They're depending on them too 475 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,680 much. And I'm not saying it's even all 476 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,160 Karl Anthony Towns's fault, but to me he is the biggest problem 477 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,840 with the team. And I've said this for a while, 478 00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:39,320 he's soft. He is. 479 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,400 J Rod, what's going on, brother? How you feeling today, Jay? 480 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,360 Good. Good morning bro. 481 00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:47,520 Good. Well, you got to lower yourself. 482 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,720 I don't like the appearance of you being the king and me being 483 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,160 man. You got to get out the high 484 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,960 chair, bro. You got to you got to get a 485 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,800 higher seat. I got I got to do a little Phil 486 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:55,840 Jackson here. J Rod. 487 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:56,760 I got to get the Yeah, I'm trying to. 488 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,800 Think of like what I can. It's all good, I'm just messing 489 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:00,800 with you. I got to figure out my. 490 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,680 I can. I can crush myself. 491 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:03,320 That's the man. How? 492 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,320 How tall are you, by the way? I'm 58. 493 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,640 Yeah, I'm 62. He's 58. 494 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,080 He's looking like Andre the Giant and I'm looking like one 495 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,520 of the British Bulldogs. Come on. 496 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,360 Oh my God. This morning, I mean. 497 00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:17,680 Good morning. Absolute brutal. 498 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,600 Yeah, disgraceful. And yeah, I mean, I was 499 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,600 questioning, I don't know if someone, you know in the 500 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,760 comments, if anyone's got an answer for this, but is, is Shay 501 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,560 still eligible for MVP or how close is he to ineligibility? 502 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,960 Because if so, and I know Jokic is already out of the running 503 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:36,360 and I don't know. I don't. 504 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,960 I've heard a case made for Luca just because of the numbers, but 505 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,360 I don't think a player playing for this Lakers team should win. 506 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:44,120 And. I agree. 507 00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:45,960 Whatsoever. I agree with you on that. 508 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,160 Because it's just like, I don't know, it's a sorry team. 509 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,080 So I would say Cade Cunningham, if Shay is, if Shay is out the 510 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,520 race, Cade must be the front runner for MVP right now. 511 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,040 I mean it's. He's Scott. 512 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,200 He's phenomenal, man. He's so good. 513 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,640 I don't disagree with that assertion, by the way. 514 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,840 We were talking about this a little bit before the show. 515 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,320 I don't know exactly if he's eligible. 516 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,720 I would surmise that he's going to to get to the 65. 517 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,800 I I think. Yeah, I think he will. 518 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,680 But we we can crunch the numbers in a minute. 519 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,240 What? Here's all you need to know 520 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,880 about Kate Cunningham, right? The day before he came out, he 521 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:17,960 was talking about the Olympic team. 522 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,640 I don't know if you caught this quote, right. 523 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,920 He was talking about the Olympic team and he said I'm the best 524 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,240 American player. I mean, when you and and I love 525 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,880 that he said that. The fact that he said that the 526 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,960 day before he was playing Jalen Brunson, who's also a pretty 527 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,920 damn good American player in Jalen Brunson's crib tells you 528 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,960 that he looks at Jalen Brunson and the Knicks and by the way, 529 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,440 by extension everybody else. But specific to last night as 530 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,120 AJV unit, he's not even he's not even remotely concerned with it. 531 00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:51,320 And then he goes out and he flushes 42 down and he he has 532 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,040 his guard moment. I mean, he's going to be the 533 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,760 impediment and the obstacle and the roadblock to the Knicks in 534 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,200 their championship pursuit. No matter what the next 535 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,080 iteration is of the Knicks, even if it's Giannis over the summer, 536 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,960 whatever might be, Kate Cunningham is going to be in 537 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,280 their way for a minute. It's just starting. 538 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,960 Yeah. I mean, as long as my thing is, 539 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,560 as long as the Pistons can kind of keep it consistent, keep 540 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,440 building around this young core, Yeah, you're absolutely. 541 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:19,960 Right. Yeah, which is wrong man. 542 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,560 Shout out. Omar SJ has only missed seven 543 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,200 games, so he has 10 more he can miss. 544 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,640 Okay, so based off that, Shay is probably gonna take it home 545 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,800 again. He's gonna remain in the 546 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,040 conversation, but I'd say honestly, Kate can definitely 547 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,640 make it interesting towards the towards the end of the season. 548 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,840 OK, let me let you guys know what's coming up here. 549 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,640 Obviously go a little bit more with the Knicks here. 550 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,760 Knicks are a theme throughout the show. 551 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,680 If you guys want to chime in with the with the with the text, 552 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,360 I'm going to get to the jazz stuff in a moment. 553 00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:47,800 I've got something on a potential A.J. 554 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,560 Brown trade as well. So we'll just we're not always 555 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,200 going to do local stuff. We're going to obviously when 556 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,440 there's national stories out there. 557 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,560 And I saw something pretty interesting with A.J. 558 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,000 Brown. I will get to that as well. 559 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,880 Now it is a it is a no rules Friday, all right. 560 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,800 And we obviously read a lot of texts throughout the show. 561 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,720 There's one rule here when it comes to a no rules Friday at 562 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,080 the end of the show and I'm going to have J Rod collect 563 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,400 them, But it's got to be super chat and you can ask me anything 564 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,400 you want like there's no there literally a no rules, no rules 565 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,200 Friday. SBT #SBT, all right, we'll do 566 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,480 that the last 15 or so minutes of today's show every Friday, so 567 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,400 get them in collect them. J Rod's going to be on top of 568 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,680 that. J Rod, before you start doing 569 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,840 that, do me a favor, just throw that that quote board up once 570 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,920 more for cat, because I want to just finish with that point and 571 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,480 give you why this is a really, really big issue guys all right, 572 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,520 so our offense is our offense. It's been the whole year. 573 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,560 We have our system and regardless of who's in the game 574 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,280 or not, we're going to run the system that we have. 575 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,840 Keep that up for a SEC. We're going to run the system 576 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,280 that we have. Has this once this year. 577 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,800 Sounded like a man who either knows what his role is or 578 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,600 embraces his role or likes his role. 579 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,680 Think about what he said in training camp. 580 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,720 He flat out said literally, I don't know what my role in the 581 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,240 offense is. Well, now what he's saying last 582 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,240 night, he knows what his role is, he just doesn't agree with 583 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,840 it. Bang, shots fired at the head 584 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,640 coach, Choo Ching Choo Ching Choo Choo shots fired. 585 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,400 So that is there is a real disconnected Karl Anthony Towns 586 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,840 will not be on the Knicks next season. 587 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,520 You could book it. And if he is, Mike Brown will 588 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,200 not be coaching the Knicks next year because and I'm going to 589 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,760 actually have cat side here for a minute. 590 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,360 You can get it down there, Jake. Good stuff, man. 591 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,800 So love the American flag there too. 592 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,200 That looks great. So the the great thing or the 593 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,760 thing about great and nobody sitting here saying Mike Brown's 594 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,120 a great coach. Obviously he's not a horrible 595 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,360 coach. And I think he's he's good, he's 596 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,360 good. And I found him interesting 597 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,160 given the contrast and style, presentation, demeanor, the way, 598 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,440 you know, just the way he runs A-Team offensively. 599 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,800 I thought it was a good time to get something opposite of Tom 600 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:55,880 Thibodeau. I may be wrong. 601 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,560 Knicks get bumped in the first round. 602 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,720 Dead wrong. Knicks get bumped in round two. 603 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,640 I'm wrong. All right, and I'll loan it, but 604 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,560 what word do want Jay? I don't want to put Jay around 605 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:08,880 the spot. We haven't been together long 606 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,720 enough for him to really know this. 607 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,560 But next time I asked me better get this right and he will. 608 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:19,160 So to me, what is the best, the best characteristic of a coach? 609 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,280 I've said this for years, all right? 610 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,760 And it's not like schematics or it's not dealing with the press 611 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,760 if you're a New York coach, because that's, and these are 612 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,600 all important things here, what the word is adaptability. 613 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:38,040 Are you adaptable to your roster or are you so fixated on the 614 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,800 system that you run that you got to shove it down everybody's 615 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,120 throat? Now, I want to use an example 616 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:48,400 here, and I'm not equivocating the two by any stretch, Pat 617 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,760 Riley and and Brown. But think about Pat Riley with 618 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,360 the Lakers back in the day, very different NBA as we know. 619 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,720 You know, you had, I think the most underrated, overlooked 620 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,920 superstar in the history of the game in Kareem. 621 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,480 And I really think Kareem's the second best player of all time. 622 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,400 I think it's MJ and then I think it's Kareem. 623 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,480 So you have Kareem in the post, right? 624 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,720 You got magic, obviously 69 prototype. 625 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,680 You got Byron Scott, James worthy flying down the wing. 626 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,920 Michael Cooper defensive player could run like you've got that 627 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,800 crew right and they're running a Showtime now. 628 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,040 Of course you get the you get the ball into the captain here 629 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,600 and there. He was a little bit older at 630 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,720 that point, but you need a late bucket skyhook, favorable 631 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,360 matchup, dump it down to 33, go to work right, bang it in or get 632 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,480 fouled or then pass on the cut and get a layup right. 633 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:41,840 But they really look to run and Pat Riley, that was one style. 634 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,680 All right. He looked at his team when he 635 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,880 came in for West Head. He's like, all right, we got 636 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,880 this, We got that. He ran a system that was very 637 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,040 counter to West Head, his predecessor. 638 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,280 So he looked there. I said, we all right, I've got I 639 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,000 got guys that can run up and down, but we're moving and they 640 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,760 look to score 130 points every night. 641 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:03,080 Showtime was born, layup line dunks, alley oops, fun multi 642 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,760 time champion. Then he so that was one style. 643 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,400 Then he comes to the Knicks and he looks at the roster and it's 644 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,080 a bunch of grinders and a couple of plotters. 645 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,360 Even though Patrick was still young where packets still run. 646 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,600 But you know, OAK wasn't fast. And then eventually Mason, who 647 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:18,960 was a great athlete, rest in peace. 648 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,520 Mace got out there, strong, thick pass, can handle. 649 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,240 And you had a little bit of everything. 650 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,720 Like Derek Harper was 33, so not as quick as he used to be. 651 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,400 So he adapted to the roster, which was completely different 652 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:32,680 than the 1 he had with the Lakers. 653 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,880 And instead of trying to score $1.30 and win that way, Pat 654 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:44,040 Riley tried to win 8981 837990 on a good night, 92 O shoot out 655 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,720 at the Garden, Knicks drop 9292 to 87. 656 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,520 And then he went to the Miami Heat and he had kind of a hybrid 657 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,240 as I describe it. Definitely didn't have Showtime. 658 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,520 Definitely had some guys who weren't afraid to bang for sure, 659 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,480 so etcetera. But he also had a kind of a 660 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:07,120 hybrid, like a kind of a mix and he incorporated style that was 661 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,880 kind of a mix that when they played the Knicks, it was very 662 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:15,000 reflective of because it was just a kind of a mirror image. 663 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,080 Similar philosophies about toughness with Riley and Van 664 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,920 Gundy. But that Heat team was able to 665 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,920 score not against the Knicks, against other teams more easily 666 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,920 than the Knicks were for the most part, even with the great 667 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,280 Patrick Ewing adaptability, right? 668 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,840 Lakers Showtime, Knicks half court beat the shit out of you, 669 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,720 Heat little bit of everything. Well, what Coral Anthony Towns 670 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,400 just said with that quote is that his coach has no 671 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,680 adaptability and that's a massive problem. 672 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,840 So that is that is very alarming. 673 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,360 And there are, I believe there are. 674 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,720 I don't I'm not going to say I won't get back into this Mets 675 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,560 thing. All this locker room issues. 676 00:33:55,560 --> 00:34:00,040 There's internal combustibility. No, no, but I think that there's 677 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,960 a disconnect philosophically. Like, I think the Knicks players 678 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,720 like each other, You know, the Villanova crew gets along. 679 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,000 Alvarado's going to fit in, Sohan's going to fit in. 680 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,440 Those guys will accept their role. 681 00:34:10,679 --> 00:34:12,800 Kolek is going to do whatever the coach tells him to do. 682 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,320 He's going to bust his ass in practice. 683 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:19,840 Like I don't think there's any problems, but it's not as good 684 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,960 as it should be because when you have your star, one of them 685 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,480 basically now he didn't say he did. 686 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:27,800 That's why I'm translating it for you. 687 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,560 He didn't and he's he's too good of a guy, even though I bang on 688 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,920 him a lot. He is a good person and he is a 689 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,080 good pro. He's not going to say something 690 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,800 that is so out of bounds where it's wildly like it's the main 691 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,360 story. Like he's not going to throw it 692 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,480 up in flames. He's a smart dude. 693 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,199 And I remember meeting Karl and Anthony Towns right after he 694 00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:51,400 left Kentucky, and Tiki and I had him on our national show. 695 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,960 I think he may have been in for the draft, actually, when he 696 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,280 went first over. That was a while ago, obviously. 697 00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:58,440 And we had him on the show and we met him. 698 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,720 Great guy, great, terrific young man. 699 00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:05,640 And he was telling us how he wanted to be a doctor after he, 700 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,000 you know, was done with basketball. 701 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,320 A surgeon. Like he's an incredibly 702 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,680 intellectual person And, and I know that I get on him from a 703 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,600 basketball point of view, but it's never personal. 704 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,040 Understand that. Like his basketball stuff drives 705 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,280 me nuts. Never personal. 706 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,120 I think he's a fantastic human being. 707 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,720 So I I say that because he's not going to be the guy who colors 708 00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:26,920 outside the lines and says something so inflammatory that 709 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,800 it's now a three day story And the Knicks have problems 710 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,040 internally. But he is smart enough to 711 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,920 manipulate his words and tell us what he's feeling without taking 712 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,520 a sledgehammer to the situation. And that's what he did. 713 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,080 J Rod get that up once more, my man. 714 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,960 That's what he did post game. It was measured. 715 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,920 It was calculated, but it was clear, regardless of who's in 716 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:53,000 the game or not, we're going to run the system that we have bang 717 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,760 shots fired problem towns brown problem next. 718 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,680 All right, Crazy, crazy, disappointing lose again, didn't 719 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,600 even wouldn't even competitive chase. 720 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,080 All right, so let me get a little baseball here for you. 721 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,960 By the way, it is a as I said, a what a no rules Friday. 722 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,320 Get those hashtag SBTS going, whatever you want. 723 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,640 You know, I mean, obviously there's like a slight limit here 724 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,680 as to what I would divulge, but it's it's generally pretty free 725 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,240 free, pretty free flowing anyway, So get him in Jazz. 726 00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:31,640 Chisholm Jazz is an interesting dude. 727 00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:36,160 I I mean, he is electric. He is incredibly gifted. 728 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,880 I also don't think he's going to be on the Yankees very long, and 729 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,880 that's based on conversations I've had. 730 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,600 I'm not saying that that can't change whatever. 731 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,160 I know the Judge has been working with him and, and he 732 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,520 even said that he's learned a lot from Aaron, the quiet 733 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:55,560 captain of the Yankees. Jazz said something yesterday 734 00:36:55,560 --> 00:37:00,000 that I love and I hate. Let's get it up on the board 735 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,880 there, J Rock. You get that Jazz cut up there. 736 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,680 There we go. I mean, aside from the Marlins 737 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,440 helmet, it's a pretty sick looking graphic. 738 00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:10,440 Well, I mean, look at this. I think we're like we're doing a 739 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,600 real show again. I mean, listen, every day a 740 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,920 little more right? A little click by click, a 741 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,440 little brick by brick. Yeah, boy. 742 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,720 J Rod quote real life. Let's just be realistic. 743 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,600 I got all the tools for talking about a 5050 season. 744 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,560 I got the speed, I got the power, I've got the eye at the 745 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,200 plate all right. I've got the defense, I've got 746 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:37,120 everything to accumulate A10 war season. 747 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,760 All right, goes on to say you're looking at the second one. 748 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,840 And that was a direct response to, you know, him going after 749 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,800 and being the second. I guess he didn't know that 750 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:48,800 show. Hey was the only one. 751 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,840 So when he was asked about it, I I guess the reporter then said, 752 00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:55,280 Hey, you know, there's only one person to do with that show show 753 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,720 Hey, Otani a couple of years ago. 754 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,800 And it's like, well, I'm going to be the second one. 755 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,720 You're looking at the second one. 756 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,840 I mean, we should only all be that confident. 757 00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:04,880 I mean, real life. Let's be realistic. 758 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,040 I mean, this guy, he, he just oozes confidence and style and 759 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,120 talent and skill. He is, he's a wildly talented 760 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,120 person. The speed, the power of the eye, 761 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:15,840 all that stuff. We're good. 762 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,480 Jay Rudd and keep it off. So all right, now I love it 763 00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:21,160 because I love confident athletes. 764 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,640 And I also love it because when was the last time you've heard a 765 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,040 Yankee, let alone a Major League Baseball player, be like that, 766 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,960 brazen like that, predictive. They're that bold. 767 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,200 I love it. It's kind of like Reggie. 768 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,800 It's kind of like Ricky. Problem is, he's not Reggie and 769 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,280 he ate Ricky. Now, can he morph into something 770 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:45,240 in between, man? So I again, I do what I saw them 771 00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:48,160 like that a boy, lean into it, accept it. 772 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:54,040 But there's such a gap from from what he's done thus far to 773 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,840 getting to 5050. I have to wonder if it changes 774 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:02,440 his approach at the plate. And that's the one part that I 775 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:08,120 don't like because if he's so wrapped up in the numbers and he 776 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,040 said something else and, you know, this is part of the Jazz 777 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,320 experience, equal parts everything. 778 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,520 But he said, you know, and I, I paraphrase, but it was a law. 779 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:18,720 It was he was talking about the MVP. 780 00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:21,240 This was a couple days before. I think it was a separate 781 00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:23,160 conversation. He said, you know, he said, if I 782 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,080 don't win the MVP, like, you know, I'm not going to be 783 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,360 complete or, you know, my career won't mean as much. 784 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,440 I mean, I would prefer to hear somebody say if I don't win the 785 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,280 championship, it will be incomplete. 786 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,440 I won't feel quite the same way. And he inserted MVP for, you 787 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,680 know, World Series champion, which gives you a little look 788 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,880 into, you know, it does. It gives you a look into Jazz. 789 00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:46,400 I mean, I think he's more about Jazz than he is the team. 790 00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:48,200 And that's one of my issues with Jazz. 791 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,600 So he's a free agent after this year, unless the Yankees were to 792 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,120 strike a deal with him, but which they're not, he's not 793 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,160 going to get an extension like a that. 794 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,920 I know, like if I'm off based on the Yankees trading him at the 795 00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:02,960 deadline, which I think there's a good chance that they will if 796 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,240 things aren't going right where there's a over, there's a better 797 00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:07,240 trade to make. They're not giving him an 798 00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:08,600 extension. So eventually he's going to be 799 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,200 an extra Yankee, right? So he's got a career high 31 800 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,200 home runs. He's a lifetime 248 hitter. 801 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,640 He's a lifetime 316 on base percentage guy, which which 802 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,720 stinks, and he's got an OPS lifetime of 770. 803 00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:25,120 Now, Yankee Stadium, you got Aaron Judge, you got a better 804 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,240 lineup around you, maybe better coaching, whatever different 805 00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:31,360 philosophy with the Yankees and you have with the Marlins. 806 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,680 I know a lot of the veterans didn't treat them. 807 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,240 I wonder why. I mean, when you're walking 808 00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:38,160 around as a 21 year old kid, like, you know, your Hollywood, 809 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,320 whomever, yeah, I could see some eyebrows being raised in that 810 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:42,760 locker room. You got to comport yourself with 811 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,200 an ounce of humility. You know, that's one thing when 812 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,760 you hit the level and you want to be that guy like Reggie, OK. 813 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,080 But before you hit the level, if you're walking around and you're 814 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,040 projecting that, that aura and you haven't quite gotten there 815 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,520 yet. I, I, I don't know. 816 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,200 All right. So the, the thing about like, 817 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,800 he's tempting history and he's tempting fate. 818 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,520 And I do like having target goals and I do appreciate him 819 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,120 being so specific. I, I really do understand 820 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,720 though, how forget about 5050. There's only one person to do 821 00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:15,800 that. How infrequent 4040 is. 822 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,560 Now, if he doesn't get hurt again, or if he doesn't get hurt 823 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,720 last year, he probably does hit 4040. 824 00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:22,040 He probably does hit that benchmark. 825 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:26,280 So you've had Canseco in 98. He had Barry Bonds in 96. 826 00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:29,800 You had a rod back in 98. You had Alfonso Soriano for the 827 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:34,240 nationals in O6. Those are the four forty 40s. 828 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,600 And then of course, Acuna and Otani and Otani, the lone 5050. 829 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,520 Now think about this guy. He's talking about what is this 830 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,520 whatever I want. And then we yeah, I'm waiting 831 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,760 for the Super chat there. I mean, again, if it's if it's 832 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,400 if it's two nuts, I'm not going to hit it. 833 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,240 But you know, roll the dice and see what you got when your 834 00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:55,280 highest war is 4.2 and you're talking about A10 war. 835 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,800 I mean that, I mean, that strikes me as incredibly 836 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,640 ambitious. I mean, again, I, I don't mind 837 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:06,000 it because like one thing that we can't do is, and a lot of us 838 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,120 do it and, and I've done it and I just think it's really 839 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,000 inconsistent. I think it's kind of unfair. 840 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,680 Like what we can't do in one breath is talk about the, the 841 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,360 homogenization of athletes, right? 842 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,600 And, you know, there's the personality homogenization, but 843 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,040 now there's also the like the the style, the hitting style, 844 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,200 which is also been homogenized because there's just, you know, 845 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,200 two or three basic core principles that are that are 846 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,560 taught from the younger levels. And, you know, think about all 847 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,400 the wacky batting stances. You had back Ricky with the 848 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,200 crowds. Donnie would, you know, would do 849 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,800 this and he'd get really low. You had Darryl who was up high 850 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,200 and very erected 66. And, you know, that bat was more 851 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,800 straight up in the air and the waggle and he had a little bit 852 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,640 of a hitch. Dave Winfield absolutely had a 853 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,000 massive hitch from the right side. 854 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,560 Yeah, just crazy. Rod Carew was kind of, it was 855 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,080 kind of like the bat was really limp and he would just kind of 856 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,640 flick it. Oh, I got all the batting 857 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,320 styles, boxy. So many different unique batting 858 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,360 styles. You really don't see that today 859 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,480 because so many principles are rooted in. 860 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,720 You ready? Hit the bell. 861 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,760 Launch angle. Yay, yay, let's try to get the 862 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,920 ball in the air. Hit a 420 foot home run. 863 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,040 And if we don't hit a home run organization, and I'm not just 864 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,440 talking about the Yanks, I'm talking about everybody. 865 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:31,320 Organizationally, we are OK if you strike out because our 866 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:36,360 nerds, our mathematical geniuses who couldn't differentiate 867 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,760 between A4 seamer or two seamer, if you put a gun to their head, 868 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,280 these are the geeks who are basically ruining baseball and 869 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,200 you've got front offices listening to them. 870 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,040 Now I listen. I love the numbers. 871 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,240 I mean, I'm having fun with the geek. 872 00:43:49,240 --> 00:43:52,360 I mean, they are geeks, but I mean, I'm having fun, so don't 873 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,640 take it that seriously, but I would love a middle of the road 874 00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:00,560 embrace of old school core philosophy and the infusion of 875 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:01,920 the numbers. Like the numbers matter. 876 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,240 If you're talking about revolutions or PMS on a baseball 877 00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:08,000 from a pitcher's point of view, and if you're chasing, you know, 878 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,320 whether it's 22 or 2300 spin rate and all that stuff, well, 879 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,640 that stuff matters because the revolutions, you know, there, 880 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,600 there's a correlation to drop and all those and, and those 881 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,800 things are provable. I'm not talking about that 882 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:25,000 stuff, right. But somebody like like a Jazz 883 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,320 Chisholm. I really think like if Jazz was 884 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:33,240 say, if Jazz was drafted in the 70s or the 80s, maybe even in 885 00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:35,960 the early 90s, I think it'd be such a different player now. 886 00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:41,280 I think he'd be a, he'd probably be a 285 if not better 290 plus 887 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,640 hitter with a much better on base percentage. 888 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,960 He'd be like Vince Coleman, not quite Ricky, but like, you know, 889 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,480 Vince Coleman, one of those dudes stealing 607080 bases a 890 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,880 year and you know, instead of hitting 31 home runs or 35 or 40 891 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,760 or 50 like this year, whatever he's going to try to do, he'd 892 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:02,040 probably hit 17 to 20, which means there'd be more contact, 893 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,680 which means the on base will be higher, which means there'd be 894 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,000 more steals. So it's not even Jazz's hole, 895 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,200 the holes in his game. It's it's because he's been 896 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,920 allowed to play this way. And I would say in a lot of ways 897 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,720 he's been guided to play this way. 898 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,960 And and I also don't begrudge players for chasing the numbers 899 00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:23,600 because what's going to get you paid? 900 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,240 Look at Luis Arayas. I mean, a guy hits, yeah, it's 901 00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:30,840 tailed off a bit. 3233340 with his eyes shut. 902 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,360 Nobody wants them. Why? 903 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,440 Because he doesn't run, he doesn't have a position, doesn't 904 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:39,240 have any power OPS below 800, so there's no value for him. 905 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,240 If Arayas was coming up with Gwynn and Carew and Boggs, he'd 906 00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:46,680 be a nine time All Star because he'd be hitting three 35340 907 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,400 every year and he wouldn't be penalized contractually and 908 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,520 perceptually for having nominal power and being a low OPS guy. 909 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:55,760 Anyway, just a little Side Story. 910 00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:00,320 The point is what we can't do, what we really have to guard 911 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:05,880 against is there, there's been, I don't know, I don't know when 912 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,920 it started. I think that an easy point of, 913 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,960 of inflection, and this is not necessarily mine, so don't get 914 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,960 all worked up. I think a lot of the 915 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:21,240 polarization of societal takes within sport started with Colin 916 00:46:21,240 --> 00:46:26,760 Kaepernick, right? And then there was a certainly a 917 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,360 demand for players speaking out. And now there's a bit of a 918 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,880 pushback and and whatever. But what's happened over time is 919 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,600 we have become so critical of players that everybody's afraid 920 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,200 to open their mouth. They're afraid to say anything 921 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,000 because you know, my boy Stephen A and before him skip, they're 922 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,000 going to pound them and they're going to crush him and he going 923 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,960 to see the quote, you know, on, on TV and gazillion clicks and 924 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,720 tweets and retweets and likes on social media. 925 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,160 And that player probably doesn't want to deal with it. 926 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:03,680 So I appreciate the originality and the personality of Jazz 927 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,880 Chisholm. I'm not trying to dial him in. 928 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,960 I'm not trying to reel him in. I'm not trying to homogenize 929 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,760 him. I'm not trying to dumb him down. 930 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,520 I'm not. I love it. 931 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,760 My fear is that's why when I presented this to you, part of 932 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,280 me loves it. Part of me hates it when you say 933 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,920 you're going to go 5050 at what expense? 934 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,240 Like at what expense? Because to to hit fifty home 935 00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:33,280 runs and you know, that's 19 more than the most he's ever 936 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,800 hit. And before last year it was 24. 937 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,080 I know different ballpark, I get that. 938 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,800 But now to get from 31 to 50, what are you doing to change 939 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,520 your swing? You're already very rarely on 940 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,840 base. You already strike out a ton. 941 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,320 So what are you willing to sacrifice to make those words 942 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,960 seem prophetic? That's what I worry about. 943 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,240 It's also a contract year. So, you know, he's going to be 944 00:47:56,240 --> 00:48:03,600 airing things out and I, you know, Jazz Chisholm can go, 945 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,240 let's say, let's say, and he won't. 946 00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:06,600 I don't think you and I'm rooting for it. 947 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,760 I don't think he will. 4040 wouldn't wouldn't stun me. 948 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:17,000 You know, high 40 steals, low 50 steals, low 40 home runs. 949 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,440 I think that that's somewhat plausible, but I still don't 950 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,360 want Jazz Chisholm up in the 9th inning down a run with a man on 951 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,360 base and two out or one out against an elite closer in a 952 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,040 playoff game. Do you? 953 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,000 I don't want him up there. I want a different approach up 954 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,360 there. I want a different philosophy up 955 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,880 there. So that's my issue with that. 956 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:42,400 But I really do like, I do like, I think Jazz's bounce, lack of a 957 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,280 better word is really good not only for the game, but it's good 958 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,600 for the Yankees. Yankees are very corporate and 959 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,920 they always have a little less so now certainly with Jazz. 960 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,200 But, you know, think about there, it's it's like the 961 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:58,640 Yankees too often they've been a conveyor belt of very bland 962 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,760 personalities. Jeter was bland, you know, even 963 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,600 the Champions. Mariano was bland. 964 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,920 And it's OK when you're winning, but when you're not winning, 965 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,080 even Aaron Judge, and I don't mean to the way he looks and he 966 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,160 he moves with a certain style and grace and Judges is the 967 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,720 best, but he's not that outgoing type. 968 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,160 He's not going to hit a ball 460 feet and flip his back. 969 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,160 And I'm fine with that. I like that actually. 970 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,320 Just, you know, do what you do, flip the bat and stare and, you 971 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,560 know, hit his chest and bounce around the unless somebody 972 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,840 throws at him, maybe he'll stare at you like you did up in 973 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,040 Boston. But that he's a very, it's very 974 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,520 simple performer in that regard. And I think you need that edge, 975 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,320 especially over the course of a a long baseball season where it 976 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,840 gets a little boring and, you know, repeat, rinse every night, 977 00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,400 162. So every team needs a guy like 978 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,760 Jazz. But what he's chasing to me is a 979 00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,040 little bit beyond the skill set. And I think it might be 980 00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,520 counterproductive. Love Jazz, but got to pick the 981 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,600 average up, become a situational hitter, just get on base. 982 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:59,240 Not going to happen, Dave. So think about what we just 983 00:49:59,240 --> 00:50:02,840 talked about and what get the get the quote board back up 984 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,080 there. I love it. 985 00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,800 Let's go quote board time. Y'all look at that look at that. 986 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:12,760 So you want this guy to turn into a situational hitter Yeah 987 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,960 Levy made on second base. I just said I'm going for 5050. 988 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,600 I'm going to contract here. I'm looking to get paid here. 989 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,840 I'm playing for the Yankees and I've already got as much style 990 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,480 as Willie Mays Hayes and you say this and you think he's going to 991 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,480 just look for a pitch to hit A2 hopper to 2nd to get the guy 992 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,520 over to third base or to with the little fly ball, the center 993 00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:34,480 with a man on 3rd less than two outs. 994 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,720 Real life. Let's be realistic. 995 00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:39,120 I got all the tools for it. I got all the tools for it. 996 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:40,800 I got the power. I got the speed. 997 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,440 A little premature with that J Rod, come on, J Rod's having I 998 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,920 will J Rod's having a little bit of a bottle booms date today, 999 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,040 you know, a little bit. There you go. 1000 00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:52,440 The plate discipline, the eye at the plate, the defense. 1001 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,120 Well, I mean the plate discipline that's a bit 1002 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,200 overstated because you wouldn't strike out 150 times and have a 1003 00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,480 316 on base percentage if you have better plate discipline, to 1004 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,080 be fair. But yes, I do have everything to 1005 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,160 accumulate that 10 war season. You're looking at the second one 1006 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,520 pertaining to the 5050. All right, I mean, bold words, 1007 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:17,160 bold player, electric talents, not exactly what what I would do 1008 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:23,160 what I would say, but we have gotten away from those those 1009 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,360 personalities. So I'm not trying to police the 1010 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:26,520 sport of it. I like it. 1011 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,800 I do. But it's got to be within the 1012 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,320 context of, you know, operating within a from a team 1013 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,120 perspective. You don't think about this. 1014 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:35,640 Imagine if what's the difference? 1015 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,480 You tell me. J Rodham, let me get you in here 1016 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,040 for a SEC. You're a big basketball fan. 1017 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,320 What's the difference? Is there a difference? 1018 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:47,640 Let me take I could go with Kobe or I could go with Alvin 1019 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:48,360 Iverson. Pick one. 1020 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:52,160 Let's go with AII think it's I think it's better if Alvin 1021 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,800 Iverson said back in the day, I'm going to average 50 this 1022 00:51:55,800 --> 00:52:00,720 year, I'm going to average 50. Well, OK, I mean go for it. 1023 00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:03,840 And you would think that on some level if he does average 50 it 1024 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,800 would give. Oh hold on, your mic just got 1025 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:22,760 muted. Well, what I would say to that 1026 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,800 though, is listen, if Allen Iverson were to say he was going 1027 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:32,360 to drop 50 in a season, or at least per game for a season, I 1028 00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:33,680 don't think I'd really believe it. 1029 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:43,400 Hold on BT fam, give us one second. 1030 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,680 We shall be back momentarily. Hello. 1031 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:33,580 Hello. Yeah, do test 1/2. 1032 00:54:35,380 --> 00:54:38,540 Bang, bang, we're good. All right, we back. 1033 00:54:38,740 --> 00:54:39,860 We're back. We're back. 1034 00:54:39,860 --> 00:54:41,060 Absolute painted. I cannot. 1035 00:54:41,220 --> 00:54:43,460 I cannot tell you how much that pisses me off, that pit. 1036 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,880 No, it's crazy. I didn't even do anything. 1037 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,920 No, I mean, I don't know what the I don't know what the 1038 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:55,280 service is doing, just just jacking your mic from you mid AI 1039 00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,400 Kobe discussion, but come on. They should know better. 1040 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:02,320 All right, we're back up. I got you, AI. 1041 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:03,800 Kobe, 50 point. I got it. 1042 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:04,960 I got it. Thanks, Jay. 1043 00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:07,240 I mean, I guess that stuff's going to happen once in a while. 1044 00:55:07,240 --> 00:55:10,720 Whatever. All right, so AI says I'm going 1045 00:55:10,720 --> 00:55:13,120 to go for 50 before the start of the season. 1046 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,640 We'll try to average 50. Don't you think more so than a 1047 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:20,280 positive impact that that would be detrimental on the rest of 1048 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,560 his teammates and really ultimately, yeah. 1049 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,200 So when you're hunting 50 points, how many shots you 1050 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,160 taking, how many bad shots you taking? 1051 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,280 What's your percentage? How many open looks are you 1052 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,960 bypassing? And I get, I know it's not 1053 00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:36,080 apples to apples, but when Jazz says, hey, 5050, I don't know. 1054 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,120 I'm not worried about stolen bases because that that's 1055 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,800 different. But when you are chasing 50 and 1056 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,520 you're not a natural 35 or 40 like Pete Alonzo or obviously 1057 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,080 Judge, more so like that kind of guy now to me, you try to do 1058 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:52,240 some something that's a little unnatural and, and, and not at 1059 00:55:52,240 --> 00:55:54,800 least thus far, your career, seven or eight years in whatever 1060 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,520 it is, you know, a part of your natural skill set. 1061 00:55:57,720 --> 00:56:01,160 So I think it would be more detrimental to Jazz's ultimate 1062 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,200 numbers, which I think would be more detrimental to the Yankees 1063 00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,640 in totality in terms of situational stuff. 1064 00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,920 So I don't know, I, again, I like it. 1065 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,640 I like the personality. I am a Jazz fan. 1066 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,560 I know it doesn't always seem like I'm a big, a big Jazz 1067 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,000 Chisholm fan, but I'm just telling you what what I've heard 1068 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:17,560 from the Yankees, they like them. 1069 00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,000 They don't really trust them. And I've talked to Alex about 1070 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:24,120 this Alex Rodriguez, like he, he's got the same opinion. 1071 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,320 He and I remember him saying like, can you really trust Jazz? 1072 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,160 Can you really trust him at a big moment? 1073 00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:32,400 And there were a couple of times during the playoffs where I'm 1074 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,120 watching the Yankees and he, he has a bonehead play there, 1075 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:36,600 whether it's on the bases or in the field. 1076 00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,080 And I swear to hand to Bible, I'm going to do my right hand to 1077 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,440 Bible. You know, 5 seconds later, Alex 1078 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:42,680 text me. He's like, you see what I mean? 1079 00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:46,440 And that, that's, that's part of the problem with Jazz Chisholm. 1080 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,400 So anyway, that's that. We got the Knicks stuff. 1081 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:55,680 Let me get a little football here, All right, All right. 1082 00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,080 Hey, by the way, Jay, I do have a question here. 1083 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,960 When that happens right, And the stream gets interrupted, does 1084 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,480 that, will that now be like 2 live streams or does it all? 1085 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,400 Is it all one continuous? No, it's still. 1086 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,320 One. No, it's still one, but I can 1087 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,880 also just cut that little section out too if we want to. 1088 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,280 Yeah. Yeah, maybe cut out some of 1089 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,120 those other mistakes that you made while you're at it, too. 1090 00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,080 Jay Rod, Jay, Rod, no rules Friday here on Unleashed. 1091 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,440 Did you have something else that said to me to jump on? 1092 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:25,280 Your head? No, no, nothing. 1093 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,480 OK, well, Jazz pulling the plug on the feed. 1094 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,640 There you go. Hey, let me tell you something. 1095 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,720 If Karl Anthony Towns didn't pull the plug on the feed now, I 1096 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:35,720 don't know why Jazz would be inspired to do that. 1097 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:39,000 I mean, if anybody would want to get this show off today in 1098 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,120 particular, you'd have to think it was Cat who, you know, I 1099 00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,280 don't want to say I buried him. Like, I'm not trying to talk 1100 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,160 tough. I'm just talking honestly, I'm 1101 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:47,640 talking real. If you missed the Knicks stop at 1102 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,320 the beginning. You want to make sure you come 1103 00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,720 back, you check it out and and you get into that. 1104 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:57,560 All right, so NFL and then we'll get to those S BTS hashtag SBTS 1105 00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,840 get them up now. Those are the Super chats on a 1106 00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:02,160 Friday. That is a no rules Friday. 1107 00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,760 Hit me with whatever you want. Now the NFL season. 1108 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,040 See, this is what I don't understand like this, so many 1109 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,680 things about the NFL are are confusing. 1110 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,440 It's less frustrating, you know, like the language in the 1111 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:19,560 contract guaranteed money, workout money like why the hell 1112 00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,840 am I going to give you a 500 or $1,000,000 workout? 1113 00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,360 I mean I know the reason, but why did it get to this point 1114 00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,360 where I got to give you half $1,000,000 just to show up and 1115 00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,880 lift weights twice a week at the facility to freaking job? 1116 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,800 You know, I don't, there's so many things about the NFL 1117 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:38,000 contracts that are even for me, and I do this for a living, are 1118 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,640 incredibly fabulous and confusing and to me, I think 1119 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,000 unnecessary. But that's just a little side 1120 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,000 spin there. But I think this is also 1121 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,960 unnecessary. So the new March 11th is when 1122 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,440 the new league year begins. And I mean, it couldn't be the 1123 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,280 day after the Super Bowl is what, March 11th? 1124 00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,720 What an arbitrary day. Like, what the hell does that 1125 00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,480 signify? All right, turn the calendars, 1126 00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,120 you know, get the champagne, get the poppers out there. 1127 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:11,640 Happy New year, NFL March 11th. Anyway, that is the new year for 1128 00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:15,400 the for the league there now no trades or anything of that 1129 00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,880 matter can happen until March 11th. 1130 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,760 But here's the other kicker, and this is frustrating as well. 1131 00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,400 You can actually negotiate and as we know, because it happens 1132 00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,040 in free agency all the time, you can negotiate and you can 1133 00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,240 execute and exercise moves. You could agree to trade some 1134 00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:33,280 principle and all that stuff. You just can't do it until March 1135 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,920 11th like I've always found it. Remember when Rex Ryan was at 1136 00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:40,160 Bart Scott's doorstep? We're in his driveway at like 12 1137 00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:44,600 or 12 O one when the clock turned to the free agency when 1138 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,520 he was officially court. And then, you know, like free 1139 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,960 agency starts. Oh, so and so agrees to a A4 1140 00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,600 year deal, $37 million guaranteed. 1141 00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,760 Well, wow. I mean, that's a speed 1142 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,000 negotiation. You did that in, in, in 3 1143 00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,560 minutes. That's pretty serious stuff. 1144 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:00,960 You must have some great, so great legal team. 1145 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,520 So, so many things about the NFL are unnecessary. 1146 01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,880 But it's the NFL. And we love it, even with some 1147 01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,800 of the warts and we consume it. And I can't wait. 1148 01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:13,720 I cannot wait for this NFL offseason. 1149 01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,360 I just can't. I think the draft is incredibly 1150 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:18,640 intriguing. I'm not just talking about The 1151 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:20,920 Jets and the Giants. Like when we do this stuff, 1152 01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,800 we're talking everybody. So you do not have to be a local 1153 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,600 fan to watch this show. It's going to be A-Z, 1154 01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,800 all-encompassing, got a lot of draft show items and coverage, 1155 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,520 things I can't divulge yet, contracts aren't signed, but 1156 01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,040 things that will be coming to Unleash that you are going to 1157 01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,920 absolutely flip over and it's, it's going to be great content, 1158 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:41,040 right? I love the draft. 1159 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:42,640 I've been to the draft a couple times. 1160 01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:47,040 I've covered the draft a lot. And you know, if you're new to 1161 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,920 Unleash and I, I grant, I know many of you follow me from 1162 01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,800 previous stops, whatever. But if you're new to this, maybe 1163 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,520 you saw a short on Instagram or you just stumbled upon this on 1164 01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,080 YouTube. First of all, welcome to the 1165 01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:58,680 show. And even though I'm a New York 1166 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:02,640 guy, you know, based and that's where I'm from in terms of the 1167 01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,000 NFL draft. I mean, I start looking at mock 1168 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,600 drafts before, before the NFL season starts because I like to 1169 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,680 be able to connect to thread in my mind because it's so fluid. 1170 01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,960 You know, I love to see like what quarterbacks or, or ranked 1171 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,760 where, what the anticipated first round like I've already 1172 01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,440 looked at mocks for next year, just like on a very cursory 1173 01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,320 level because it changes so much. 1174 01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,680 But it gives me a bit of a database that I could build up 1175 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,680 on and what I really like. Of course, the quarterbacks set 1176 01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:30,960 the market there. That's the sexy stuff. 1177 01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:35,560 But I also like to get a sense of is it a wide receiver draft? 1178 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,920 Are there 345 defensive edge rushers that are that are going 1179 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,200 to shape this to be a defensive draft that you know the way 1180 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:43,760 it's? I love it. 1181 01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:48,000 I absolutely love it, right? So I say that because I want to 1182 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:49,600 get to A.J. Brown here Now, again, if this 1183 01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:51,880 is if this and I don't know if they're going to deal him. 1184 01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,880 Howie Roseman said last month they're not Howie Roseman 1185 01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,960 smartly. Is it the business of accruing 1186 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,160 really good players, not getting rid of them? 1187 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,440 That's one of the reason why Philly is really good. 1188 01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,640 And Howie Roseman's one of the best executives that I've ever 1189 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:08,040 seen. He's phenomenal. 1190 01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:09,800 I mean, what he does is it's tremendous. 1191 01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,560 I mean, I wish The Jets had Howie Roseman, even though I do 1192 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:13,680 like Mooji. Anyway. 1193 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,000 So March 11, things are going to start getting wacky. 1194 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,760 Do I think that A.J. Brown is going to get traded? 1195 01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:28,440 I think more no than yes, but anytime you talk about this 1196 01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,880 stuff, as we know, it only takes one interesting trade to get 1197 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,640 somebody to really think, blink and eventually say, you know 1198 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:39,520 what, all right, I wasn't necessarily compelled early to 1199 01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,560 move so and so, but this team really gave me something to 1200 01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:44,720 think like like with maybe The Jets, with the Colts there, I 1201 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,600 don't know that they really wanted proactively to move on 1202 01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,480 from Sauce or even Q with Dallas. 1203 01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,200 But once the phone starts ringing and somebody hits you up 1204 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,800 with something that's just really just too much to pass, 1205 01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:59,120 pass on, you make trades that that's how it happens. 1206 01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,160 So I think that the enticement for A.J. 1207 01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:04,680 Brown could be there. Now teams that I think could be 1208 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,920 in the market form. I think the Browns, I think the 1209 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,200 Bills, I think the Ravens, I think the Pats. 1210 01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,120 And I did see something. I want to be fair. 1211 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:15,680 I'm never in the business of taking something from somebody 1212 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,360 and pretending it's mine, all right? 1213 01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,760 I do a lot of research, a lot. I watch a lot of stuff. 1214 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,320 Half the stuff out there is idiocy at this point. 1215 01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,880 It's a complete waste of time. But there's also a lot of good 1216 01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,240 stuff out there. And I saw something. 1217 01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:31,600 I didn't see it on TV, but I saw an article on ESPN.com and it 1218 01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:35,920 was basically a collection of several former GMs and personnel 1219 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:36,520 people. What? 1220 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,880 And they put together a list of, of, of teams they thought that 1221 01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:43,200 could go after AJ and more specifically what they thought 1222 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,160 it would take to get A.J. Brown. 1223 01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:49,600 So and then I want to at least tie it in a moment to The Jets 1224 01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:53,440 and some other teams. Now, their list actually is 1225 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,400 largely like my list. I've got a few other teams, but 1226 01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,680 they had the Browns, they had the Bills, they had the Pats, 1227 01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,160 they had the Ravens. Now for the and it's pretty 1228 01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,200 basic stuff. So they think the Browns 24th 1229 01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:09,040 overall pick, first round, straight up AJ boom, boom, first 1230 01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:10,600 round pick. Browns could do that. 1231 01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:12,960 The Bills have the 26th overall pick. 1232 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,680 They could do that. The Ravens, it was this was more 1233 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,720 interesting is where I think maybe The Jets could could, 1234 01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:20,880 could maybe enter the conversation. 1235 01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:25,280 So they had as a consensus the Ravens would give up their 2027 1236 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:31,400 second round pick, a 2027 fourth round pick and then wide wide 1237 01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,400 receiver Rashad Bateman. All right, So you add a player 1238 01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:37,400 who's good and then obviously some draft equity and then the 1239 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:41,440 Pats were thrown in there as well. 2026 first rounder, 31st 1240 01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:45,920 pick overall, 2026 third rounder and then a sixth rounder this 1241 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:49,760 draft coming up as well. Now, obviously you're not going 1242 01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,360 to give up Garrett Wilson and there's other teams out there 1243 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:57,800 that I, I now I, I would love. Now if the Giants were in the 1244 01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:01,680 AFC or the Eagles were, to me, that would be a pretty decent 1245 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:05,600 fit because there's a lot of talk about the Giants may be 1246 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,680 drafting a receiver. I don't love that myself. 1247 01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,320 I don't love that. I think the Giants should 1248 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,280 absolutely go defense. I know the neighbors. 1249 01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:15,680 Is it going to be neighbors out of the chute? 1250 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:17,280 I get that, but I'm not drafting. 1251 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:19,760 Especially with the 5th. Now you want to trade down and 1252 01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:21,440 you want to get some more assets. 1253 01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,080 I'm a little bit more amenable to that. 1254 01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:25,840 I am not. And I know there's good 1255 01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,160 receivers. There's a few out there, very 1256 01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,600 good. Arizona State, Ohio State, I get 1257 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,760 it, Washington. I'm not taking a receiver at 1258 01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,920 5:00 because when I hear people talk about the Giants taking a 1259 01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:39,160 receiver at 5:00, I understand it's to help out Jackson Dork, 1260 01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,640 clearly. But some of the reasoning behind 1261 01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:43,240 it just doesn't make sense to me. 1262 01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:47,480 I've heard people actually say, well, go out there, draft the 1263 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,680 receiver at #5 because Malik Neighbors won't be ready or if 1264 01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,640 he is ready, won't be fully back to being Malik neighbors. 1265 01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,000 Well, that's not why I'm drafting somebody 5 picks in 1266 01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,120 because the guy that you took a couple of years ago who was 1267 01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,960 amazing, I think Malik Neighbors has a chance to be top three, 1268 01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:05,800 top four, certainly top five wide receiver in the NFL for 1269 01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:07,240 sure. You know, with better 1270 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,120 quarterback play, better coaching, he's on his way to 1271 01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:12,360 being that if he heals properly, which he should, but I'm not 1272 01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,560 doing that at #5 just because he might be 80% in September. 1273 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:17,400 What are we talking about? What? 1274 01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:22,160 I think that that's ridiculous. So I do think the Giants should 1275 01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,600 go defense. As I've said, you even want to 1276 01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:27,000 mess around, maybe go one more old lineman, which is better, 1277 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:28,360 but it's still not an ultimate strength. 1278 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,600 I'm open to that. They're not going edge. 1279 01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,480 I I love Caleb Downs, could go linebacker, couple of kids, 1280 01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:36,680 Reese, Ohio State, some others fit that bill. 1281 01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,640 Jets might take Reese at #2 I don't love that at #2 for The 1282 01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:43,680 Jets. The point is, is that if there 1283 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:47,360 is a window now, I'm going to just bring this to The Jets for 1284 01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,480 a moment to entice Roseman to trade A.J. 1285 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:53,840 Brown. Well, one of the reasons why I 1286 01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:57,640 love it. And let me be clear, this is not 1287 01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:00,320 like, well, let's get Aaron Rodgers right, and then let's 1288 01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:03,000 get Devante Adams and let's try to microwave the Super Bowl 1289 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:03,800 team. Nope. 1290 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,240 I am remaining consistent with my philosophy here. 1291 01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:11,000 Build it from the ground up. Excuse me, Build it the right 1292 01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,320 way. Use all that draft equity that 1293 01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,080 you have to plug all the holes that you have to fill. 1294 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:22,560 However, because you have so many draft picks and such draft 1295 01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:28,400 capital here, I I think that I really want to see The Jets go 1296 01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:34,960 defense at #2 and at #16. And if you could tap into, I'm 1297 01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:39,120 not saying one of those first round picks in 2027, but if you 1298 01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:42,960 can creatively construct something here where there's a 1299 01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:47,600 third that becomes a 2 along with A2 in what whatever year 1300 01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:49,920 you want and you bring it. A.J. 1301 01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:53,400 Brown now, well, now you don't have to draft the wide receiver 1302 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,920 at 16 because they're obviously not going to do that at #2. 1303 01:07:56,360 --> 01:08:00,880 And if The Jets were able to enter next season with say 1304 01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:04,760 either Reuben Baines or or even Reese, who I I don't know if I 1305 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:08,800 love him, I don't know about that or Caleb Downs, who I do. 1306 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:14,880 And The Jets go defense, defense 2 and 16 and then maybe, maybe a 1307 01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:16,399 little more defense later in the rounds. 1308 01:08:16,399 --> 01:08:18,399 But now they bring in A.J. Brown. 1309 01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,279 Well, now you got Garrett Wilson, A.J. 1310 01:08:21,279 --> 01:08:24,640 Brown, Mason Taylor, outstanding offensive line. 1311 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,240 As I said the other day, if you missed it, I gave you a lot of 1312 01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,240 lot of juice and a lot of stuff on why The Jets need to retain 1313 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:32,680 Priests hole. It's out there. 1314 01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,960 Go find it. It's on this channel right now. 1315 01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,600 You got a pretty interesting off who's playing quarterback? 1316 01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:39,720 Well, I mean, that's the big question. 1317 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:44,439 But online, Garrett Wilson, A.J. Brown, Mason Taylor, record as a 1318 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,880 blocking tight end, phenomenal run game, run scheme with Frank 1319 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,720 Reich and obviously Breece Hall and you've got some running 1320 01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:52,920 backs coming back from injury. So you've got some some depth 1321 01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:54,200 there. Obviously with Alan. 1322 01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:58,319 I I think it's a team that is going to be pretty interesting, 1323 01:08:58,319 --> 01:09:00,920 but not with the thought guys, I'm not trying to speed this up 1324 01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:02,520 and I'm not trying to take shortcuts. 1325 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:06,680 And by the way, if you tell me Jets are nowhere near ready to 1326 01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:08,200 even think about Brigade and A.J. 1327 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,200 Brown or well, if you thought he had problems with, you know, 1328 01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:14,399 with his quarterback Jalen Hurts in Philly, what the hell do you 1329 01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:16,479 think is going to happen with The Jets quarterback situation? 1330 01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,359 I got you. I think that that's fair. 1331 01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:20,600 I really do. So I'm not going to push this 1332 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:24,840 down anybody's throat, but I would like to at least see 1333 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,600 Darren Mooji be Oh, and he he appears to, he strikes me as 1334 01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,279 somebody who's going to be open minded here about the 1335 01:09:31,279 --> 01:09:34,479 possibility of doing this. Now, I think there's other teams 1336 01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:37,080 we mentioned the Browns, but you got like the Bills are at a 1337 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:40,880 point now you got to just they got to microwave it. 1338 01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:44,040 They got to do everything that they could possibly do to give 1339 01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,920 Josh Allen a real chance to win a Super Bowl. 1340 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,000 Now, Josh Allen's got to play a whole hell of a lot better in 1341 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:51,800 his next playoff games than he did this year. 1342 01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:55,360 He was awful, awful. I'm a massive Josh Allen fan. 1343 01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,360 You might be he actually might be my favorite player in the 1344 01:09:58,360 --> 01:09:59,840 NFL. He really might be. 1345 01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,200 That's how much I I I, I I just respect everything about him. 1346 01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:06,920 He's a gamer low maintenance, puts his pads down great, you 1347 01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:10,520 know, great stats, never complaints points to thumb like 1348 01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:14,200 that's what you want big, strong, fast, durable rocket for 1349 01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,560 norm, who doesn't want that guy? I really think he's my favorite 1350 01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,280 NFL player. I really ironically, he's in the 1351 01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:24,400 same division as my team, but the bills need to the Ravens 1352 01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,360 need to start doing stuff to give Lamar a chance to win. 1353 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,040 I think that's certainly the chiefs. 1354 01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,520 Now there's a thought about maybe reuniting Tyree kill. 1355 01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:36,280 This goes into the question Tim Thomas O58-O Yeah, Tim, but the 1356 01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,000 fugazi Every time I see Tim I'm I just can't help but thinking 1357 01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,800 Tim Thomas the Fugazi like the whole Fugazi thing with the 1358 01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:43,600 Knicks. Anyway, what are your thoughts 1359 01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,400 on The Jets? Look at the Tyree kept pass not 1360 01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:46,400 interested. No thank you. 1361 01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:51,520 Nope, I mean, I would amend that slightly and say he wants to 1362 01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:55,760 come in on, you know, a one year prove it. 1363 01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,760 The but why would he when he's not going to put up explosive 1364 01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,240 stat? The only way you do that is if 1365 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:02,760 you haven't won a championship yet. 1366 01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:07,480 He has or if you you have something to prove and it's a 1367 01:11:07,480 --> 01:11:10,240 perfect situation where you know those stats are going to pop. 1368 01:11:10,480 --> 01:11:13,440 You come to The Jets. There's a good chance Tyree Kill 1369 01:11:13,440 --> 01:11:17,800 finishes with 59 catches, 726 yards and and three touchdowns. 1370 01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,200 And if he signs that one year, make a deal. 1371 01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:23,120 He did nothing to bolster his earning power down the road 1372 01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,560 where he's got maybe one more payday. 1373 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:27,240 I think he's going back to Kansas City. 1374 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,520 And there's other there's other contender contenders for sure. 1375 01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:32,720 I mean, you want to tell me? I mean, really anybody. 1376 01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:36,240 I mean, if you think about any good team that has a stable 1377 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:40,120 infrastructure, yeah, you look at somebody like Tyree Kill, not 1378 01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,560 interested in him for The Jets. See, to me, A.J. 1379 01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,640 Brown, like Tyree kills A1 trick pony. 1380 01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:48,160 Let's run a go route. Just take the top off and beat 1381 01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:49,360 everybody. A.J. 1382 01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,480 Brown does a whole lot more better blocker better and, you 1383 01:11:52,480 --> 01:11:55,680 know, tight little quarters, grind it out, move the sticks, 1384 01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,600 you know, just different than Tyree kill. 1385 01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,960 That's why I'd I'd be much more, you know, open to that for The 1386 01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,160 Jets. But I mean, what contender 1387 01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,240 couldn't use A.J. Brown or or Tyree kill? 1388 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,160 You'd have to think the list is through the roof. 1389 01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:13,560 And while I don't think as of this moment, I really don't 1390 01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:19,000 think that Howie Roseman and the and the Eagles are predisposed 1391 01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,000 to trade him. Like I believe when he said last 1392 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:22,680 January, Nope, we're not looking to get rid of him. 1393 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:23,760 He's an Eagle. We want him. 1394 01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:24,760 Bah, Bah, Bah. I believe that. 1395 01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:27,440 But again, something tempting comes across your desk there, 1396 01:12:27,440 --> 01:12:31,120 something enticing. And it's just, I mean, reckless 1397 01:12:31,440 --> 01:12:33,800 because I don't want The Jets or anybody else to do that either. 1398 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:38,080 You, you have to consider it. And so I wouldn't rule it out. 1399 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,520 I really wouldn't, but it's almost draft time here. 1400 01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,640 Jay, Rod, you do you like the NFL draft? 1401 01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:44,800 Let's talk to the Unleashed fan here. 1402 01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,960 You know you're a big NBA guy. Always fun. 1403 01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,080 Always fun. Let me see. 1404 01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,920 I remember a couple years ago what they bust out the boats. 1405 01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,200 They brought the boats out for the NFL draft. 1406 01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:56,520 The dude hopped off the boat, went on to the stage. 1407 01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:57,320 Yeah. Always fun. 1408 01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:00,480 Interesting. See who's gonna see who's gonna, 1409 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:05,320 you know, make the teams change it around for them. 1410 01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:09,120 See for The Jets, who could potentially be, what are they? 1411 01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,280 They're doing a quarterback. I mean, they must, right? 1412 01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:13,640 I don't think they're doing a quarterback in the first round. 1413 01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:15,920 They're definitely not doing it too because you know, Mendoza is 1414 01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,920 going to be gone. Maybe a chance they mess around 1415 01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:22,040 with Simpson somewhere. No, I, I, I want to go defense, 1416 01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,120 defense or defense, wide receiver. 1417 01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:25,280 Jets aren't taking the quarterback. 1418 01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:27,480 Or like right now I'm putting money on The Jets, not taking 1419 01:13:27,480 --> 01:13:30,400 the quarterback in round one. You know, maybe later you mess 1420 01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:32,520 around, you make a trade, you're one of those projects. 1421 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:36,240 Sure, the more projects you try, I mean, maybe eventually hit on 1422 01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:38,200 something. But no, I I don't think The Jets 1423 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,440 a matter of fact, I'm almost positive they're not going. 1424 01:13:41,440 --> 01:13:44,480 Defense. That's what I would like them to 1425 01:13:44,480 --> 01:13:44,840 do. Yeah. 1426 01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:46,880 I mean, their defense was deplorable, dude. 1427 01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,920 Now, now listen, J Rod, if there was quarterbacks, if there was, 1428 01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,240 if there was another quarterback that I really thought. 1429 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:57,280 Because yeah, Mendoza's going first. 1430 01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,760 Easy. Yeah, and you know, obviously 1431 01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,440 nobody else out there satisfies for me or for anybody. 1432 01:14:02,440 --> 01:14:04,120 The consensus is that there's no way. 1433 01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,400 I don't care if Ty Simpson and he's not going to. 1434 01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:11,000 I don't care if Ty Simpson shows up and runs A45140 and benches 1435 01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,440 whatever and jumps to the moon and that little thing, the 1436 01:14:13,480 --> 01:14:17,000 afflict for the vertical and has the most amazing interviews and, 1437 01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:19,720 you know, hits the grease board and kills it like Peyton Manning 1438 01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:23,440 or some ninja, some Jedi like Tom Brady and or Bill Walsh. 1439 01:14:23,440 --> 01:14:25,680 So I I'm not taking him 6th no matter what. 1440 01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:30,560 I'm not taking them now. I do think and and this is less 1441 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:34,640 about The Jets and more about a just a commentary on on Ty on Ty 1442 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:36,680 Simpson. I actually like him. 1443 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,560 I know it didn't sound it. I like him a lot more than most 1444 01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:42,080 of the other pundits. There's a lot of people and I 1445 01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,280 watched him a lot of Alabama this year, not just in the 1446 01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:46,880 playoffs there, right. And the thing that you have to 1447 01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:49,720 know, and this matters not. I wish you had more experience. 1448 01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,560 Let me at least be upfront with that because there is a stat, 1449 01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,920 whether it's Sanchez, you know, Zach Wilson, there's a lot of 1450 01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,360 quarterbacks, like there's a connection when you play XML, 1451 01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:01,600 like you get 303540 collegiate starts. 1452 01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:05,000 It's just easier to weed out the real ones and the fakes, right? 1453 01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,360 Because it's still there's an element of guessing and 1454 01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:09,200 projection with those guys who haven't played a lot. 1455 01:15:09,440 --> 01:15:11,160 So Ty Simpson hasn't played a lot. 1456 01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:15,480 But where I'm going to defend Ty Simpson and I'm very, I do think 1457 01:15:15,480 --> 01:15:18,440 somebody's taking him late first round, maybe the Steelers, maybe 1458 01:15:18,440 --> 01:15:20,520 something like that. Somebody's going to take them 1459 01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,960 And I would be. I think it's justifiable because 1460 01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:27,680 Alabama amazing ran the ball awfully this year. 1461 01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:31,320 Do you know the Ty Simpson? What was the number? 1462 01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:37,320 Ty Simpson threw the ball 70. I said this from a couple of 1463 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:40,760 months ago. I went 73 or 74% of the time 1464 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,760 this year, which is like first and 2nd in terms of big time 1465 01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:46,160 college football. They relied on him so much. 1466 01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,600 They're running into Alabama with the running backs and the 1467 01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,400 access to the five star offensive lineman in the NIL 1468 01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:54,800 budget. Their running game was awful and 1469 01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,920 real foot now as football fans know that I'm right. 1470 01:15:57,200 --> 01:16:00,120 So So what happens there Jay? Let me explain it to you there, 1471 01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:03,160 young buck, when you can't run the ball well right. 1472 01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,560 That's why I don't think it's very it's very fair to criticize 1473 01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,280 Simpson and say he can't be a good pro because I think he 1474 01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:10,560 could. It needs to be the right 1475 01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,600 situation all right, so first down right going to run the 1476 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,160 ball. They averaged like 3.4 yards of 1477 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:20,000 pop, which was like 139th and praying college, but just awful. 1478 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,840 Trust me, the stats, every stat running was bad, right? 1479 01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:27,000 So all right, first and ten yeah, Alabama 25 up off tackle, 1480 01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,600 1 yard second and nine. And and that was a consistent 1481 01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:33,880 right away, consistent theme. You're behind the sticks, you 1482 01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:36,640 chasing first down, you chasing down in distance. 1483 01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,920 And I don't care who you are, you know, even like vintage 1484 01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,400 Peyton or whatever Vince Young attacks, whatever great college 1485 01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:47,480 quarterback, you're still not going to really be in a position 1486 01:16:47,480 --> 01:16:49,480 to to be set up to be very successful. 1487 01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:52,960 And I think Ty Simpson was statistically and from a team, 1488 01:16:53,440 --> 01:16:56,160 you know, team perspective, still was very successful. 1489 01:16:56,440 --> 01:16:58,760 And I think he's got enough confidence and enough 1490 01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:02,520 athleticism where if you want to tell me now, I know a lot of Jet 1491 01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:06,360 fans saved the three first round picks for next year and I'm down 1492 01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:08,960 with that, whatever. But if you want to tell me that 1493 01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:12,600 you want to somehow take one of them and and maybe trade into 1494 01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:15,240 the the back end of the first round this year or do something 1495 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:17,920 in the 2nd and the third round this year and move into the back 1496 01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:22,000 of the first or take the 16th pick, drop down somehow a crew, 1497 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:25,640 another late first round pick and then go defense, defense 1498 01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:28,520 quarterback or defense wide receiver quarterback. 1499 01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,160 That's a little what Simpson? That's a little. 1500 01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:34,200 I just can't take him at 16. Can't just but I do like him. 1501 01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:37,120 I like him more than most people, not only just for The 1502 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:38,920 Jets. I I think he's gotten a bit of a 1503 01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,760 raw deal. I think Simpson can play. 1504 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:46,240 It was the circumstances oddly, amazingly at Alabama, this 1505 01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:49,560 factory that just didn't really put him in a position to secede. 1506 01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:52,320 It's the truth you got, you know, it's it's it's it's the 1507 01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:55,920 reality of what happened. So that's where I'm at with 1508 01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,080 that. Here, we got one from Omar 1509 01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:01,080 Yousef. J Rod, are you from Northern CT? 1510 01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:04,640 Why are you a Celtics fan? My entire family's from Boston, 1511 01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,920 but I'm a southwestern Connecticut guy. 1512 01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:13,200 Southwestern Connecticut guy. So how far is that from Mohegan 1513 01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:15,120 Sun or some of the? Casinos pretty deep. 1514 01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:17,360 So I mean, I've been to Mohegan Sun once. 1515 01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:20,680 I actually my my pops and I went to Caitlin Clark's first 1516 01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:22,160 playoff. Game did you really? 1517 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,000 Was it a year or two ago? Yeah, yeah. 1518 01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:25,280 Nice dude. Yeah, it was. 1519 01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:27,160 Fun. I've been to that venue with the 1520 01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:28,880 the arena inside the Mohegan Sun. 1521 01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,720 I went to see, I went to see Maris play there years ago. 1522 01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:33,000 Yeah. Yeah. 1523 01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:35,240 As I mean, much more the crowd than Caitlin had, I'm sure. 1524 01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:38,920 And one of my one of my best friends who I roomed with and 1525 01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:42,320 played ball with it, Maris, Maddie, he's from up there, like 1526 01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:43,760 in that, that part of Connecticut. 1527 01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,240 So he met me and his sister came and we watched. 1528 01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:47,840 We gambled. You know, we had a good night. 1529 01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:50,280 No, I had. So you went to the game. 1530 01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:53,040 Did you actually gamble? Gambled a little bit, I guess. 1531 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:54,440 Yeah, at the time I was probably 20. 1532 01:18:55,440 --> 01:18:59,280 So we, I know we were going, we were playing some let it ride, 1533 01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:02,720 probably ride. Yeah, dude, he he loves that. 1534 01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:05,600 I like let it ride Now. Do you know how to play? 1535 01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:08,680 Do you remember how to play? Now no. 1536 01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,160 Apparently no. Let me give you a little tip. 1537 01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:12,400 And first of all, anything that you. 1538 01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:14,720 And that doesn't mean that I win with regularity because you 1539 01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:16,680 don't. Yeah, I'm one of these truthers 1540 01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:18,120 here. Here, let me tell you a couple 1541 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:21,040 of little secrets here. Number one, anybody that you 1542 01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:26,560 know that brags about how much they want, oh, I won $10,000 1543 01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:31,240 this weekend on the NFL or college football or I won 17,000 1544 01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,080 playing blackjack or playing craps and so and so casino. 1545 01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:37,560 Let me tell you about that person that persons losing a lot 1546 01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:40,280 more than they're winning because number one, you only 1547 01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:41,880 tout the wins. You don't go walking around 1548 01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,480 saying I got my ass handed to me later. 1549 01:19:43,480 --> 01:19:45,440 I mean, you might tell your buddies, but you're not really 1550 01:19:45,440 --> 01:19:47,680 making it public, right? Oh, I got bent over. 1551 01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:51,120 I lost 13,000 playing blackjack. They pulled the six card 21 and 1552 01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,560 I got screwed. No, you, just you, you, you brag 1553 01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:57,480 about the wins, number one. And if you win that much money, 1554 01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,960 even if it's once or twice a year or whatever, that means 1555 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:05,520 that you are willing to gamble. That much to have the threshold 1556 01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:10,800 to win that much, which means invariably you lose 20-30 fifty 1557 01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:13,400 and obviously a lot more for some people. 1558 01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:16,280 So if you know anybody that's bragging about how well they're 1559 01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:18,000 doing in the NFL, they're losing. 1560 01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:20,320 That's number one. That's number one. 1561 01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:22,080 I know all about this stuff, dude. 1562 01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:24,440 I lived in Vegas, man, I don't, I don't gamble the way that I 1563 01:20:24,440 --> 01:20:25,880 used to, but I, I had a lot of fun. 1564 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,480 The other thing too is let it ride. 1565 01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,400 It's a fun game. And I remember the first time I 1566 01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:33,880 played it was in Las Vegas. I told the story here on 1567 01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:34,840 unleash. I'm not going to tell the whole 1568 01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:38,000 story again, but I was drawn into the, to the music, the 1569 01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:42,400 song, because I'm playing blackjack, playing blackjack, 1570 01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,560 trying, trying to learn how to play and, you know, figuring 1571 01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:47,600 things out a little bit. My buddy had no idea, almost got 1572 01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:49,440 into a fight with somebody because he messed up the car. 1573 01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:51,600 Oh God almighty. There was like 2 in the morning. 1574 01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:53,400 It was a disaster. And I'm like, come on, dude, 1575 01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:55,040 let's go. Let's just leave the table. 1576 01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:58,360 And as we're walking around around the casino, I hear Rob, 1577 01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:04,440 Rob, Rob. I'm like, where is that coming 1578 01:21:04,440 --> 01:21:06,040 from? That sounds like a fun game. 1579 01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:08,920 And it is fun. And it's actually very 1580 01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:12,320 misleading unless there's another game like a Pie Gal war 1581 01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:13,640 game that I really haven't played. 1582 01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:19,080 The lowest rated odds in terms of favoring the house and not 1583 01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:22,520 favorable to us the idiot consumers is let it ride. 1584 01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:25,600 But the you so you have the greater greater chance to lose. 1585 01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,040 But the, but here's why it's misleading. 1586 01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:32,400 You place your bets and if you remember and if you see dad says 1587 01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,120 he likes this game, tell him what I said. 1588 01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:38,280 He's got to know this, right? So you place three bets up 1589 01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:42,200 there, you get dealt 2 cards. Each house varies like sometimes 1590 01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:44,680 it starts with pairs, it's got to be 8 or higher. 1591 01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:47,760 Some are like on a casino ship or on a cruise ship at the 1592 01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,080 casino, it's got to be face cards or higher. 1593 01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:52,360 What it it does vary, but generally it starts in eights, 1594 01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,560 right? So say if you get dealt pocket 1595 01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:58,760 aces, but what you know, 88 and you have the three bets up. 1596 01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:01,200 Let's say you have 1/4 up 252525. 1597 01:22:01,440 --> 01:22:04,800 So what you do is oh, I'm good. I got a chance to get three. 1598 01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:07,920 I get you know what a full how all these possible options. 1599 01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:13,080 You keep the first bet up there. If you get say a three and a 1600 01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:16,640 nine that are unsuited, you pull back your first bet. 1601 01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:18,360 You haven't lost any money. There we go. 1602 01:22:18,440 --> 01:22:20,640 So people think that they're in control of their money. 1603 01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:22,560 Let it ride. Here's where they screw you. 1604 01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:26,400 Now the next card comes up, that shit, still nothing damn ass cuz 1605 01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,000 hand sucks. Let me pull back the second 1606 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,160 hand. OK, this is easy. 1607 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,040 I'm not going to lose. I'm going to get it. 1608 01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:36,720 You can't pull back the third hand and you have to remain in 1609 01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:39,000 and you're not, you're not playing the dealer. 1610 01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:41,600 You're you're you're playing the cards that are flipped. 1611 01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:45,440 So people think because they're in like you can't pull back 1612 01:22:45,440 --> 01:22:48,000 cards in blackjack. You know, you could, you could, 1613 01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:50,360 you could say I'm, I'm, you know, I don't want to take a 1614 01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:53,400 hit, but you can't literally say I'm taking my money back. 1615 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,400 You can. Accept last time. 1616 01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:59,240 And last time? All right, good to know. 1617 01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,760 Good tips.

How old were you when you first 1720 01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:47,000 started playing instruments? All right, so I started doing 1721 01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:50,920 mute like just like random music and stuff in general, like just 1722 01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:54,000 production, not really musics but like making little beats 1723 01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:57,080 when I was probably 1314.

And then when I was a freshman 1728 01:28:07,480 --> 01:28:10,760 in college is when I picked up bass and guitar and stuff like 1729 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,400 that and started playing live. So I've been doing that for 1730 01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:16,720 almost like 6 years now. So let me ask you something 1731 01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:18,680 here. I've often said, you know, when 1732 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,200 you think about like, and everybody's different, like, I 1733 01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:23,240 don't know, I, I'd love to know the answer to this. 1734 01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:27,520 Like, or take somebody like Einstein or any, any brilliant 1735 01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:29,960 person. Are they born brilliant? 1736 01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:31,720 No, I mean, I, I don't think so. Why, though? 1737 01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:35,360 I've got, I think, I think certain, and I don't mean like 1738 01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,800 physical, like, oh, my dad's 63. I'm not talking about physical 1739 01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:39,720 stuff of the intellectual nature. 1740 01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:42,640 I think that there's, there's certainly something to be said 1741 01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:43,880 for that. And of course, what you're 1742 01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:46,960 around, if you're exposed to classic music and math and words 1743 01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:49,680 and what you watch and what you read or, and how you know just 1744 01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:52,080 how you're brought up, what school you go to, the 1745 01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:54,760 environment that you're in, Obviously that facilitates and, 1746 01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:56,240 and, and accelerates intelligence. 1747 01:28:56,240 --> 01:29:01,400 Sure, but I always wonder because with me, like words made 1748 01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:04,840 sense and I I felt like I was looking at honestly Latin. 1749 01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:06,840 No, I'm saying, you know, OK, I'm. 1750 01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:09,800 I'm very poor with math. But I just, I can't get it. 1751 01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:14,760 But when you started with music, did did it make sense to you? 1752 01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:19,480 Like almost like in a way that was easier than most. 1753 01:29:19,480 --> 01:29:23,040 Yes, I would say, I would say it came very quickly. 1754 01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:26,840 But I also think that comes from just putting a lot of hard work 1755 01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:30,920 when I initially first started doing music, you know, into it. 1756 01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:34,440 So it's like in those early periods where your mind is very 1757 01:29:34,440 --> 01:29:37,320 moldable to, you know, learning a very new thing. 1758 01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:41,360 I think I was, you know, really getting after it two hours, you 1759 01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:44,160 know, almost 3 hours a day just practicing. 1760 01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:47,160 And I think when you do that, you know results are going to 1761 01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:50,080 come no matter if you're predisposed to something or not, 1762 01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:52,000 like the hard work's going to pay off. 1763 01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:53,640 You know what, Jay?

But you have to see making. 1845 01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:37,080 I will admit, I will admit, first of all, I think it's about 1846 01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,960 3 hours. It's it's a little long for me, 1847 01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:46,640 but it's such an in depth look at their their musical genius 1848 01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:48,920 that I think that you would appreciate more than me. 1849 01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:53,680 Like I'll give listen, I like, you know, well, give me a couple 1850 01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:55,440 of Led Zeppelin songs, like their most popular. 1851 01:33:55,440 --> 01:33:57,560 Whole lot of love.

Obviously, Stairway to Heaven. 1857 01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:17,040 Well, that's phenomenal. That's that's that's what's that 1858 01:34:17,040 --> 01:34:18,320 7 minutes long? All right, we'll go with the 1859 01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:20,920 names here. I say that because I like Led 1860 01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:22,680 Zeppelin. I don't love Led Zeppelin, 1861 01:34:22,720 --> 01:34:25,240 right? OK, you know, I, I really, I, I 1862 01:34:25,240 --> 01:34:27,920 think that they, they very well might be the number one band of 1863 01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:29,720 all time Beatles. I know this is subjective 1864 01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:34,080 clearly, but I understand and and I rank them based on the 1865 01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:37,080 great appreciation for their their musical accomplishments. 1866 01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:38,560 Like they're they're not. I get it. 1867 01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:42,560 I get it, But I they didn't resonate with me the way they 1868 01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:44,080 they do. Like if you're you're a Led 1869 01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:47,800 Zeppelin fan or you're you're a Led Zeppelin fan, like I hear a 1870 01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:49,440 couple of bangers. I'm like, oh, I love this song, 1871 01:34:49,440 --> 01:34:51,920 crank it up, but I don't, I don't have many down. 1872 01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:54,200 I have a couple downloaded. I don't know a ton about the 1873 01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:59,560 anyway, I say that because it was not boring, but it was so 1874 01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:02,680 long and I always associated like Led Zeppelin when I was 1875 01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:05,480 younger with just some drug fueled, which they were 1876 01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:09,640 everybody was in the 70s, this 70s, you know, tripping on acid 1877 01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:12,800 and and and I and I think I underrated their their musical 1878 01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:15,600 exploits, right. But if you're a purist in the 1879 01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:20,120 musical sense, like I am in baseball, you're going to love. 1880 01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:22,280 And I thought this was a tick boring, even though I learned a 1881 01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:25,480 lot. It's a little slow going back to 1882 01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:28,720 England like that. Their entrance into the You 1883 01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:30,120 would appreciate it more, is what I'm saying. 1884 01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:34,560 You have to watch that almost. Wait, so now I got a question 1885 01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:36,560 for you. So like, what are your, what are 1886 01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:39,680 your kind of bands that you were a huge fan of growing up, 1887 01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:42,640 whether it's like 90s, eighties, 70s, Yeah. 1888 01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:43,880 No, I love it.

I want to do this more. 1890 01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:47,680 I want to obviously do the sports content. 1891 01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:49,960 To be honest, Jay, Ron, I had to make sure that you can handle 1892 01:35:49,960 --> 01:35:51,960 this like I I can't just be pulling you in if I don't know 1893 01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:54,800 that you can handle the you know the gravity what we're doing 1894 01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:57,280 here. No, no, no smoke here, but at 1895 01:35:57,280 --> 01:35:59,160 least understand it and and you've earned that. 1896 01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:00,120 You've earned a little more rope. 1897 01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:03,360 All right, I always use the word eclectic. 1898 01:36:03,440 --> 01:36:05,760 I mean, I have a very eclectic taste. 1899 01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:07,880 Now. I will go back. 1900 01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:11,840 This is very interesting because my dad loves like the Doo wop 1901 01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:14,400 stuff, Four Seasons and I do too. 1902 01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:15,840 I got used to hate it when I was a kid. 1903 01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:18,800 I've really grown to appreciate it right as I've gotten older, 1904 01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:23,000 but he really only had one, you know, an Elvis and that was 1905 01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,520 pretty much it, right. And then so we'd always hear 1906 01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:26,600 that in the car when I was a kid. 1907 01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:29,480 He forces to listen to it that put on, you know, put on Michael 1908 01:36:29,480 --> 01:36:31,880 Jackson, that put on def left. Nope, Nope. 1909 01:36:32,440 --> 01:36:36,120 So I remember I had a like the first record player that I got. 1910 01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:40,280 He came home with two albums and one of them I totally get and 1911 01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:41,560 he's become my all time favorite. 1912 01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:44,560 That's Billy Joel, Billy Joel's number one forever. 1913 01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:47,560 You know, it's all like, I just, I love his words. 1914 01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:50,800 I just love, I love the way he recreated himself. 1915 01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:52,440 I just, I love him. Love, love Billy. 1916 01:36:52,440 --> 01:36:56,120 Right. And the other one was Rush 1917 01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:57,560 Moving Pictures. Wow. 1918 01:36:57,800 --> 01:36:59,080 Great album. Yeah. 1919 01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:02,240 Great album, great album cover, great band. 1920 01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:05,560 But my dad had zero connection to Rush. 1921 01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:07,000 I have no idea how we brought them in. 1922 01:37:07,440 --> 01:37:09,280 So then he brought home another one. 1923 01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:11,280 I think it was a 45. Steve Miller. 1924 01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,320 You know, Steve Miller's greatest now. 1925 01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:16,320 We used to listen to Steve Miller and, you know, maybe take 1926 01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:18,360 some bong hits, do whatever. We're doing a call, you know, 1927 01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:21,320 and I love Steve Miller, right? But the Steve Miller song that 1928 01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:25,080 he brought in was Abracadabra, which was. 1929 01:37:25,440 --> 01:37:26,920 Wow. Yeah, it's a different kind of 1930 01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:30,480 cut. Totally more commercialized Abra 1931 01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:36,160 and like that one right and pat well, white whites, white 1932 01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:38,840 panties with the satin lace or something one of the lines 1933 01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:40,960 there. So anyway, I was introduced to 1934 01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:46,560 to a very again, eclectic now like if I'm working out or in 1935 01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:50,400 the car, I do have some staples man, I want to hear fast stuff. 1936 01:37:50,880 --> 01:37:56,120 Now, I will incorporate some slow stuff to think, and I am 1937 01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:58,840 pretty sensitive and pretty emotional. 1938 01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:01,400 So if I hear a certain song, I can get you. 1939 01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:04,680 Yeah, I can drive by myself. I think about my kids, my family 1940 01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:07,560 happens all the time, right? So I would, you know, I love 1941 01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:09,280 Mötley Crüe. You know, I love the Beastie 1942 01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:11,240 Boys. You know, I love Def Leppard, I 1943 01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:14,080 love the Stones, love old Michael Jackson. 1944 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:16,800 I would say from Michael Jackson, once you got to bed, 1945 01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:20,800 yeah, I thought that was kind of lost and get me off the wall, 1946 01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:23,400 give me a little Jackson 5, give me obviously beat it. 1947 01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:25,400 Give me, give me prime. Thriller. 1948 01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:27,800 Give me Thriller that was like that. 1949 01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:32,040 I remember the video came out on on MTV was like a 13, maybe 1950 01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:34,240 more. It was like a mini movie and 1951 01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:36,520 like you couldn't see it anywhere else. 1952 01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:40,560 But MTV I like. Then there's some other ones 1953 01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:42,080 I'll give you. It really does depend on my 1954 01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:44,880 mood. So when I was in college, again, 1955 01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:47,680 never good in math and what I would do is here was my shortcut 1956 01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:49,680 and I didn't really love studying either, to be totally 1957 01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:51,800 honest with you. So what I would do is I would 1958 01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:53,600 basically push everything off to the side. 1959 01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:55,640 And then what is when it was crunch time? 1960 01:38:55,920 --> 01:38:58,920 Like, I hate to admit this, but like I wouldn't really study for 1961 01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:00,080 quizzes. I wouldn't take it that 1962 01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:01,840 seriously. I just keeping it real. 1963 01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:04,720 But when it was time to make sure that I I got decent enough 1964 01:39:04,720 --> 01:39:07,880 grades and was definitely eligible to play baseball, the 1965 01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:10,920 writing, I would get A's and it would offset any bad grade, 1966 01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:12,880 right? And but I would usually have to 1967 01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:15,400 write, you know, you know, like pump out a towards the end 1968 01:39:15,400 --> 01:39:16,600 because I was late and all that shit. 1969 01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:20,120 And when I would do that, I would be in my writing bunker 1970 01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:25,760 for hours upon hours, right. And I would listen to Creedence 1971 01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:27,800 Clearwater. Let's go. 1972 01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:29,520 Yeah. I would listen to obviously 1973 01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:33,080 Billy and I would listen to Cat Stevens like these. 1974 01:39:33,120 --> 01:39:36,120 Yeah, these thought provoking. It just worked for me. 1975 01:39:36,120 --> 01:39:37,800 And a little Pink Floyd, the wall as well. 1976 01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:42,480 It put it, put it put me in a I don't know, at a calming, sedate 1977 01:39:42,480 --> 01:39:46,080 mood where the words just kind of connected to the the thoughts 1978 01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:48,760 connected to the fingertips. And I was able to pump out some 1979 01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:51,520 good writing content. So that's a long way of 1980 01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:53,200 answering. Who do I who do I like? 1981 01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:57,000 The answer is a lot of, you know, the the police, the Red 1982 01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:59,800 Hot Chili Peppers, I mean, Metallica. 1983 01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:03,280 Yeah, I think I said Mötley Crüe for sure, if not Guns and Roses. 1984 01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:06,200 I mean, I've seen the Eagles. I've seen all these in concert. 1985 01:40:06,480 --> 01:40:09,200 But then I want to hear 90s, you know, 90s gangsta rap. 1986 01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:12,840 I I I just told to. Very broad cross section, 1987 01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:14,920 definitely you know what I. Mean. 1988 01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:15,760 Very cool. Very. 1989 01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:17,640 I got a question for it. Before we start wrapping things 1990 01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:19,520 up, I, I think it's always a fun question. 1991 01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:23,440 I think I asked Sal this too. I'm trying to remember what his 1992 01:40:23,440 --> 01:40:27,240 answer was. I forget his answer, but if you 1993 01:40:27,240 --> 01:40:29,960 had the ability to, I'm going to put you on the spot. 1994 01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:32,840 But I think you can handle this to transport because there's no 1995 01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:35,400 right or wrong. Transport yourself back to any 1996 01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:39,800 time period. OK, and put yourself in any 1997 01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:44,760 venue. What venue and what group or 1998 01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:48,200 what if it's an individual singer, would you want to be in 1999 01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:49,920 the audience? All right, I've got a couple. 2000 01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:53,000 So it's. Jimi Jimi Hendrix is the easy 2001 01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:54,320 answer. Jimi. 2002 01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:56,080 My two. Yeah. 2003 01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:57,760 I mean, he's just. He's my favorite. 2004 01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:00,880 He's my favorite in terms of like band, songwriter, 2005 01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:02,280 everything. It's all Hendrix. 2006 01:41:02,480 --> 01:41:05,920 Nice. I'm going to say either he did a 2007 01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:08,600 concert in Hawaii, but I think my answer I don't know if you 2008 01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:11,480 ever heard of this spot Cafe Wah in the. 2009 01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:15,000 I used to go to Cafe Wah.

It's got to be hard. 2073 01:43:57,240 --> 01:43:59,840 Got to be outdoors and let me just let me, This is why I like 2074 01:43:59,840 --> 01:44:02,160 talking about this stuff, because you say something and 2075 01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:03,680 then this might spur another thought. 2076 01:44:04,160 --> 01:44:07,840 So when I was working in San Francisco, right, I was there 2077 01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:10,040 for almost 2 years doing an afternoon drive before I came 2078 01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:12,280 back to work for CBS Sports Radio with Tiki right, just to 2079 01:44:12,280 --> 01:44:13,440 give you the quick chronology there. 2080 01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:16,600 And The Jets were coming as Rex's Rex part and all those 2081 01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:18,600 guys. And I remember Darren McFadden 2082 01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:21,680 like caught a screen pass or ran one like 80 yards through The 2083 01:44:21,680 --> 01:44:24,000 Jets defense. I'm like, now I know The Jets 2084 01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:26,200 defense isn't what what it. And that was the beginning of 2085 01:44:26,200 --> 01:44:29,640 the end. Anyway, I went to the Raider jet 2086 01:44:29,640 --> 01:44:32,640 game and Amy Trasko I did a lot of TV with and is the first 2087 01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:34,400 female executive in the history of the NFL. 2088 01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:37,440 Wonderful woman. I love her if she I still check 2089 01:44:37,520 --> 01:44:40,120 Jason once in awhile. Love her just a great person, 2090 01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:44,000 brilliant, awesome. And we did TV for seven years 2091 01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:46,160 together and sat she sat right next to me. 2092 01:44:46,160 --> 01:44:48,840 Anyway, she got me tickets to the jet rate. 2093 01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:51,520 She knows I'm a Jets fan and I just moved out there and I'm 2094 01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:54,280 like, I'm not going to wear my Jets jersey in the place and and 2095 01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:57,920 be disrespectful when the head of the Raiders is giving me 50 2096 01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:00,120 yards, You know, so I wore it in the parking lot, whatever. 2097 01:45:00,160 --> 01:45:04,680 And I remember there was this dilapidated stadium. 2098 01:45:04,680 --> 01:45:06,640 And like, it's one of those things that you saw from the 2099 01:45:06,640 --> 01:45:09,520 70s, not really me in the 70s, but certainly the 80s. 2100 01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:12,240 And you know the what does this visual, same with Candlestick, 2101 01:45:12,480 --> 01:45:15,400 what it used to look like in this vision that you conjure up 2102 01:45:15,640 --> 01:45:18,640 seeing the Yankees play there. And you know, the Giants in San 2103 01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:21,440 Fran. And I remember they, their, 2104 01:45:21,560 --> 01:45:24,080 their system, right? Their, their PA system was 2105 01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:25,600 antiquated, right? Like everything else. 2106 01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:28,760 You're lucky if you take a piss and it doesn't roll all over the 2107 01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:30,760 floor. I mean, it was just a disaster, 2108 01:45:30,760 --> 01:45:32,920 that place, right? And I remember as they're 2109 01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:35,920 getting ready to start the game and the system must have been 20 2110 01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:37,680 years old at that point. You just hear. 2111 01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:46,760 Wait, I think you just clipped your mic. 2112 01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:48,000 I think you just clipped your mic. 2113 01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:53,080 I remember just the way it pulsated old school. 2114 01:45:55,080 --> 01:45:58,640 Oh, that's so if you're going to see N.W.A, that's why the ice T 2115 01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:00,880 and the way it sounded, it's got to be the Coliseum. 2116 01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:03,760 You can't see that indoors, man. You can't see that in LA. 2117 01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:05,920 You can't see it though. You can't see it. 2118 01:46:06,760 --> 01:46:08,320 I guess you can, but you can't see it indoors. 2119 01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:10,240 You got to see that one outdoors, in my opinion. 2120 01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:13,200 No, yeah. I mean, now it my main thing 2121 01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:16,120 with this question is just like it's got to be an artist or 2122 01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:19,040 artists who it's impossible to see now. 2123 01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:20,520 Well, that's the whole point of the question. 2124 01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:22,240 So like, it's a time machine, that's why. 2125 01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:23,760 Who's? Who's your take? 2126 01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:26,360 Who's your take? OK, now I, I've got, I'm going 2127 01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:30,360 to give you a couple and I won't run down too much of detail. 2128 01:46:30,600 --> 01:46:32,720 And some of these bands, ironically, one of them came up 2129 01:46:32,720 --> 01:46:34,440 yesterday and I don't, I don't even really like them. 2130 01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:36,680 Imagine. But just to be there and feel 2131 01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:40,600 it, imagine seeing Queen at at at Wembley Stadium, at Wembley 2132 01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:42,680 Stadium. Yeah, I mean that that would 2133 01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:45,440 just, that would be impactful. That would That's like the best 2134 01:46:45,440 --> 01:46:47,400 concert ever. Well, that's that. 2135 01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:49,520 That's what I'm about. I'm an impactful kind of guy. 2136 01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:52,560 I asked profound questions because I want profound answers. 2137 01:46:52,560 --> 01:46:54,400 That's but this is about BT on these. 2138 01:46:54,400 --> 01:46:59,240 Alright, so that's one, I think The Beatles seeing The Beatles, 2139 01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:03,480 you know, certainly stateside when they first came, but even 2140 01:47:03,480 --> 01:47:05,120 even over there would be amazing. 2141 01:47:06,040 --> 01:47:10,680 I would have to say seeing now, it kind of give you more like 2142 01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:13,200 more my, my wheelhouse, something that I would want to 2143 01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:19,560 see because I've seen most of them. 2144 01:47:19,560 --> 01:47:23,600 Like I, you know, I, I didn't, I never saw the Beastie Boys, 2145 01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:25,560 unfortunately. And you know that that would be 2146 01:47:25,560 --> 01:47:28,480 pretty wild, man. And I'm going to see ACDC this 2147 01:47:28,480 --> 01:47:30,400 summer. But I've seen almost every, I've 2148 01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:33,200 been to about 2530 concerts. I've seen almost every other 2149 01:47:33,200 --> 01:47:34,880 one. So I'm trying to think of like 2150 01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:37,440 historical stuff like the Queen at Wembley. 2151 01:47:37,440 --> 01:47:39,200 And again, I only like 4 or five of their songs. 2152 01:47:39,200 --> 01:47:42,960 That would be sick. I like. 2153 01:47:42,960 --> 01:47:45,880 This one right here. Johnny Cash in Folsom prison 2154 01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,440 withdrew. Great, great answer right there. 2155 01:47:48,440 --> 01:47:49,640 That's a good one. See that? 2156 01:47:49,640 --> 01:47:52,080 I like that. That's creative there, I think. 2157 01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:57,560 See, it's got to be outdoors to me and there's only so many 2158 01:47:57,560 --> 01:47:59,440 outdoors. Like I didn't see Pink Floyd, 2159 01:47:59,440 --> 01:48:05,240 but I saw Rodger Waters, right? And I saw Rodger Waters it when 2160 01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:08,200 we were out in San Francisco right around 2011. 2161 01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:11,200 It was like the The Wall tour, but it wasn't all the Pink 2162 01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:12,800 Floyd. And those of you who are huge 2163 01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:14,160 Pink Floyd fans, you know what I mean? 2164 01:48:14,440 --> 01:48:16,680 And it was phenomenal. It was all the songs and it was 2165 01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:19,320 at the Giants baseball. I whatever they call that, I 2166 01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:21,680 still forget what they call it, the John with the Giants play. 2167 01:48:21,920 --> 01:48:25,000 I still call it PAC Bell, Monster dot or I know what they 2168 01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:28,560 call it. And just the scenery. 2169 01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:33,320 You could see Alcatraz, you can see the Bay Bridge, you can see 2170 01:48:33,440 --> 01:48:35,440 the Golden Gate Bridge. And. 2171 01:48:35,440 --> 01:48:39,920 And I, I remember, yeah, maybe, you know, maybe taking a little, 2172 01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:41,680 you know, taking have a little fun that night, right? 2173 01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:46,920 And I, I remember and my wife is not even a big, big fan. 2174 01:48:46,920 --> 01:48:52,120 And we came home from work. She was selling TV ads for the, 2175 01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:53,880 the Warriors and the, and the giant station. 2176 01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:56,840 I was, I was doing radio. So we come home and I've got 2177 01:48:56,840 --> 01:49:00,120 like a bottle of Scotch for me on the table, maybe something 2178 01:49:00,120 --> 01:49:03,040 else, a bottle of wine for her. And she didn't even really, I 2179 01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:05,720 mean, she wanted to go because it was a concert, but she wasn't 2180 01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:08,240 overly excited. And I was playing Pink Floyd 2181 01:49:08,240 --> 01:49:10,080 music as we were getting ready. Then we just walked in the 2182 01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:11,360 stadium. We lived right there, right? 2183 01:49:11,840 --> 01:49:14,840 And we had, we got another glass of wine on the, along the 2184 01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:17,400 Embarcadero and where we were sitting. 2185 01:49:17,440 --> 01:49:21,160 You know the way the wall starts as like the missile or the 2186 01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:23,920 begins to come down. Yeah. 2187 01:49:25,440 --> 01:49:28,080 And then and it starts the musical. 2188 01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:33,800 We were sitting behind home plate, a little bit high by 2189 01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:35,760 design. I wanted to be up high and all 2190 01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:39,720 of a sudden this like fake, not bomb or missile, I don't know, 2191 01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:42,360 whatever it was. And again, I'm feeling pretty 2192 01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:45,400 good, if you know what I mean. Comes right in front of us. 2193 01:49:46,840 --> 01:49:51,520 Holy. Loud just permeates the entire 2194 01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:53,880 stadium, let alone the entire area. 2195 01:49:54,080 --> 01:49:56,720 And then like it kind of goes toward the and as soon as it 2196 01:49:56,960 --> 01:50:00,600 hits the ground now they start getting into the instruments and 2197 01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:02,640 the concert starts. And I don't know if you're going 2198 01:50:02,640 --> 01:50:05,000 to get crazy, dude, it was wild. I don't know if you're going to 2199 01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:08,520 get that if you're at the garden or if you're at the Staples or 2200 01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:11,360 forum. The old, the old Forum in LA, 2201 01:50:11,760 --> 01:50:13,960 the old Boston Garden. I don't know, Like that's why to 2202 01:50:13,960 --> 01:50:17,600 me to incorporate outdoor venue, which is why even though I don't 2203 01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:20,760 love Queen, like Wembley Stadium, to me is is pretty 2204 01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:22,240 interesting. Yeah, definitely. 2205 01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:25,480 So you saw Pink Floyd when they were still Pink Floyd? 2206 01:50:25,480 --> 01:50:26,720 No, I didn't. That I was. 2207 01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,720 That's why I said I just Rodger Waters. 2208 01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:31,120 Oh, it was just Rodger Waters. OK, OK, but. 2209 01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:33,040 It was all the songs. It was all from the from the 2210 01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:33,680 wall. Yeah. 2211 01:50:34,440 --> 01:50:36,240 No Dark side of the moon. It was, it was, it was. 2212 01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:38,720 It wasn't dark side of the moon. It was literally the wall. 2213 01:50:38,720 --> 01:50:42,240 Like they did top to bottom. Oh, yeah, yeah. 2214 01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:44,000 And then it ended. I don't even know how they did 2215 01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:45,840 this. Like the he was in front of the. 2216 01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:48,560 I think he was in center field. Yeah, he was in center field. 2217 01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:52,920 And somehow the like, it wasn't the outfield wall, but I think 2218 01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:56,080 right in front of it was this digital wall that they put up. 2219 01:50:56,360 --> 01:51:00,360 So when the concert ended, like the wall Pink Floyd, the wall 2220 01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:03,200 crumbled and it was set to the. Music. 2221 01:51:03,480 --> 01:51:05,840 Oh Dang it. Was really good. 2222 01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:08,560 It was good. Anything else before we start 2223 01:51:08,560 --> 01:51:11,800 wrapping things up? Here buddy, I listen, I've got 2224 01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:15,400 nothing BT fam.

Yankees spring training 105 2227 01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:24,320 today. Is that is that what's going 2228 01:51:24,320 --> 01:51:25,920 down? Yeah, people are hype about 2229 01:51:25,920 --> 01:51:26,680 that. I mean. 2230 01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:29,440 I mean really very. I think Jazz is playing so he 2231 01:51:29,440 --> 01:51:33,120 can get his start on 5050 today. Not no judge. 2232 01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:34,520 Many of the regulars are not playing. 2233 01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:37,240 I look at the roster. It's a travel day, so no. 2234 01:51:37,240 --> 01:51:39,720 Yeah, but it's baseball. We'll flip it on and see what's 2235 01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:41,240 going on. I did see there. 2236 01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:44,880 Woodstock, the recreation of Woodstock in 94. 2237 01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:46,120 There you go. That's the 94. 2238 01:51:46,120 --> 01:51:48,000 Woodstock. My buddy actually worked it 2239 01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:49,560 right. The guy that I used to go to 2240 01:51:49,560 --> 01:51:50,880 Cafe Wild with my one of my best. 2241 01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:51,760 Friends. OK, cool. 2242 01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:54,800 Who's that blast, Right. And, and he did that. 2243 01:51:54,800 --> 01:51:57,480 I remember he was, we're still in college and he was doing that 2244 01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:00,200 like security, whatever you could. 2245 01:52:00,200 --> 01:52:03,800 One thing I will say, you couldn't pay me even though, and 2246 01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:08,400 I think Hendrix was there and you know, Jefferson Starship and 2247 01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:10,960 I just the names that were at the original Woodstock. 2248 01:52:11,240 --> 01:52:16,080 You could not pay me to go to Woodstock in the 60s or whatever 2249 01:52:16,120 --> 01:52:19,040 it was, whatever year it was, I could not live like that. 2250 01:52:19,040 --> 01:52:20,760 And I know it was a different time. 2251 01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:25,000 I cannot walk around and interact with people who smell 2252 01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:28,240 and like you have no privacy to go to the bathroom. 2253 01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:30,600 It's nice. I don't care how good the drugs 2254 01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:32,760 were. I don't care how good the music 2255 01:52:32,760 --> 01:52:34,600 was. I got no interest in that. 2256 01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:38,600 I cannot function like that. You know, I, I've camped twice 2257 01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:40,880 even and and it's fun. I don't know that I'll ever even 2258 01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:43,080 do it again. But even one night in the tense 2259 01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:45,880 enough, I'm good. I'm an outdoorsman to an extent. 2260 01:52:46,080 --> 01:52:49,920 But walking around, no deodorant, like just smelling 2261 01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:54,200 and not not having any privacy, not being able to shower a mud 2262 01:52:54,200 --> 01:52:58,400 mosh pit. No, I I've been, I don't care if 2263 01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:03,680 Janis Joplin and and she was there and Jimmy and Starship and 2264 01:53:03,680 --> 01:53:06,320 the doors. The doors is another. 2265 01:53:07,040 --> 01:53:09,320 That's another good one, right? I know I can't. 2266 01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:13,720 I honestly like I I would have thrown them like up there in my 2267 01:53:13,720 --> 01:53:15,360 answer too. Here's a Here's a good. 2268 01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:17,080 One you pop it up there, you know I got it. 2269 01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:18,160 We were we were thinking the same thing. 2270 01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:19,920 All good. How do you say that? 2271 01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:22,480 All right, say that name for me. Shvoy. 2272 01:53:22,480 --> 01:53:26,560 Goodell, the guy, he's back. That's right, Shvoy Goodell. 2273 01:53:26,560 --> 01:53:30,520 No one going to say Sinatra? How about the main event MSG in 2274 01:53:30,520 --> 01:53:32,320 74? Good answer. 2275 01:53:32,600 --> 01:53:36,840 Yeah, I mean, Sinatra doesn't really do it for me. 2276 01:53:36,840 --> 01:53:39,800 I, I hate to say that I got to be honest, it's. 2277 01:53:39,800 --> 01:53:41,880 Fun. Like, I like his music. 2278 01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:43,240 It's good. It's good. 2279 01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:46,280 They're good songs, but it's not like I'm going to be amped up 2280 01:53:46,280 --> 01:53:49,920 going to the Sinatra concert. It's going to be a nice evening 2281 01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:51,480 like. Yeah, I know, I know. 2282 01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:53,320 I go to the Copacabana, you know. 2283 01:53:53,320 --> 01:53:54,680 Yeah, it wouldn't be the Mickey Mantle. 2284 01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:56,640 It wouldn't be, like one of the best nights of your life. 2285 01:53:56,640 --> 01:53:58,520 You'd be like, yeah, I went out to see Sinatra. 2286 01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:00,320 We got some wine. I took the lady out. 2287 01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:02,040 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, exactly. 2288 01:54:02,280 --> 01:54:04,920 Yeah. Like you go to you, to me, you 2289 01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:07,880 go to Sinatra. And then the the objective, if 2290 01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:09,880 we're going to keep it real, is to get the hell out of there as 2291 01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:12,760 quickly as possible to get home. You know what I mean? 2292 01:54:12,760 --> 01:54:14,800 Exactly. With these concerts, I'm looking 2293 01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:16,160 to hang out all night pretty much. 2294 01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:18,600 Big time. Yeah, I But then again, let's be 2295 01:54:18,600 --> 01:54:19,960 fair. So. 2296 01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:22,120 So I don't even know what Frank's prime was. 2297 01:54:23,080 --> 01:54:26,120 What if he said 74? I mean, I know roughly, but 2298 01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:30,000 let's say Frank Sinatra's prime. I don't know. 2299 01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:33,640 I mean, maybe it was like when Eminem performed in his prime. 2300 01:54:34,160 --> 01:54:37,080 You got no, no, hold on, You got to think about the time frame. 2301 01:54:37,480 --> 01:54:40,360 So I mean, Frank Sinatra's, even though I don't love his, I don't 2302 01:54:40,360 --> 01:54:42,040 want to talk about New Yorker. I love that one. 2303 01:54:42,480 --> 01:54:44,800 The other songs, yeah, whatever. And there's a couple. 2304 01:54:44,840 --> 01:54:48,800 I get it. But when he was performing in 2305 01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:58,280 real time, the energy there and his grip on society was not 2306 01:54:58,280 --> 01:55:02,560 dissimilar to, you know, Eminem going, Oh my God, you know, so 2307 01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:04,960 maybe it would be more fun than we're thinking about. 2308 01:55:05,080 --> 01:55:07,880 Yeah, I mean, certainly at the time it you would literally 2309 01:55:07,880 --> 01:55:10,920 pretty much be seeing one of. I mean, I don't know if Elvis 2310 01:55:10,920 --> 01:55:13,720 was even, you know, granted, my timelines might be a little. 2311 01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:14,960 I got you. I got you a little bit of that. 2312 01:55:15,120 --> 01:55:19,200 Well, Elvis, I think Elvis died in 77, I want to say. 2313 01:55:19,200 --> 01:55:21,080 I want to say it was 77. Pretty sure. 2314 01:55:21,280 --> 01:55:24,120 So they so they shared the limelight for some time then 2315 01:55:24,120 --> 01:55:25,920 then yeah. I mean, if you were to have been 2316 01:55:25,920 --> 01:55:29,160 seeing Frank Sinatra at that time, yeah, it would be like 2317 01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:33,960 seeing Eminem in 1999 or 2004, 2002, Yeah. 2318 01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:38,000 In the peak of everything. This is this is the guy. 2319 01:55:38,760 --> 01:55:39,760 But hey, Rod. Yeah. 2320 01:55:39,760 --> 01:55:42,040 But that's the whole premise. Build us on it. 2321 01:55:42,080 --> 01:55:42,960 So OK. OK, OK. 2322 01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:45,800 Because originally we both shot it down, but I'm again 2323 01:55:45,800 --> 01:55:48,880 transporting ourselves. Yeah, if if I was back there 2324 01:55:48,880 --> 01:55:51,440 with the bowler hat, I got my suit going. 2325 01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:54,080 Yeah, Franks, And it'd be the night of your life. 2326 01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:56,040 Little cufflink action maybe? A little A. 2327 01:55:56,240 --> 01:56:01,440 Little, little, little little bar, little gold bar, you know, 2328 01:56:01,840 --> 01:56:06,440 ironically, my, my grandfather, I collect and I haven't, I don't 2329 01:56:06,440 --> 01:56:09,760 really wear them anymore, but there was for more than a minute 2330 01:56:09,760 --> 01:56:12,920 when, when I was wearing cufflinks all the time and a lot 2331 01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:17,440 of tie bars, right. I've probably got about, I'd say 2332 01:56:17,440 --> 01:56:21,040 40 to 50 pairs of cufflinks good like some vintage, like some 2333 01:56:21,040 --> 01:56:24,360 really good, some solid ones, all different varieties, really, 2334 01:56:24,360 --> 01:56:27,960 really cool. And I've got probably 7 or 8 2335 01:56:27,960 --> 01:56:30,080 cufflinks. Pardon me, 7 or 8 tie bars. 2336 01:56:30,240 --> 01:56:31,440 You know what the tie bar is, right? 2337 01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:33,040 You know what I'm talking. About, yeah, yeah, OK. 2338 01:56:33,600 --> 01:56:38,080 And one of them, my mom, when my grandfather passed away, she 2339 01:56:38,080 --> 01:56:40,400 saved it. And it's really small and it's 2340 01:56:40,400 --> 01:56:43,640 gold. And my grandmother had gotten it 2341 01:56:43,640 --> 01:56:46,920 from my grandfather either for an anniversary or something. 2342 01:56:47,280 --> 01:56:50,160 And it's like 70 years old and I still have and I've worn. 2343 01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:53,640 It yeah, that's nice. Yeah, and it's gold and it's 2344 01:56:53,640 --> 01:56:57,360 held up and so I would wear that to to Frank's concert fit right 2345 01:56:57,360 --> 01:56:58,480 in.
